Listen, we gotining. We're back baby! Yeah!

Listen, we got beef. We got beef. Finally we got a beef worth responding to. Finally. All these little peons on the internet talking shit. I don't give them no love, but this guy right here. What happened? What do you mean what happened?

Have you not been listening to music lately? I've heard some. There's a pretty big thing going on. Yeah, between Kendrick Lamar. Laws were written. Laws were written. Laws were written. I don't like him pretending he doesn't know

what the fuck's going on with his little milk mustache. She's been pissing me off. Okay? Is it on there? Now listen, no, guys, we gotta take this seriously. Listen, rappers are telling comedians we need to be more respectful to women, so we gotta really, we gotta sit this seriously. Listen, rappers are telling comedians we need to be more respectful to women, so we gotta really, we gotta sit back and reflect.

Do you know what I mean? Because they're the most pious group. Listen, nobody has respected women more. You through art, then rappers, okay? So I completely understand how a rapper could look at a comedian telling a joke and be like, yo, y'all need to switch that shit up. How dare y'all keep saying your wives are annoying.

You know, be more like us and, you know, bitches ain't nothing but hoes and tricks. I beat my bitch with a stick, what? You can lick on the nuts or suck the dick. I beat my bitch with a stick, what? Did you just think of that? That's a real lyric. Yeah, that's a real lyric from music that protects women.

And for decades, protects women. And listen, listen, right now the guy on top, Kung Fu Kenny, he is the guy on top. He is the guy on top. He is making sure, he is making sure that comedians, he put a law in, he put a law in place. All right, let's see the exact line, okay? Don't let no white comedian talk about no black woman, that's law.

Now technically speaking, if we're going off of Grammatic English, he's saying, I can talk about black women. Don't let no white comedian talk about no black woman. So he's basically saying all white comedians are only allowed to talk about black women. Exclusively. That's what I'm talking about! Finally he understands it! It's a law.

Finally he understands it. It's a law. Now I understand why he's doing a comedy with the South Park creators. Ah, that makes sense. Because he appreciates white comedians that make fun of black people. There you go.

And they've done that brilliantly for decades. Yeah, that's true. And he would never wanna break one of his own laws. No, that's true. I mean, didn't they have a character called Token on the South Park show? Yeah, they do. Which I'm sure Kendrick is a big fan of.

That's true. He must be a big fan if he's going to do a comedy with them. I mean, we can look that up. Apparently, he has a comedy coming out. Yeah, that's fact. But, but, but, but, but, Al, but, Al, Al, Al, you're getting groomed right now, we need to un-groom you. Yeah, you are getting groomed.

We need to un-groom you right now. Okay? I mean, listen, because he sent people, he says slide on. What he said? Slide on? Where's the line? Where's the line? He goes, let me get it.

I'm so hold on to it, squint my eyes. And that was not a racist joke. Okay. The N words that coon, the N words that being groomed, slide on both of them. Whoa. That seems like a call to violence. It does. Why would he call to, if he's about protecting black people, why would the call to violence be towards the black dudes, not the white guy making the joke?

Well you gotta understand. What? No, no, no, you gotta understand. Because I snitch. I cooperate. I tell. Litigation. Okay? You can go squabble up in a jail cell. Here's what you've got to understand about Kendrick. It's very important to him to protect black women. That's why he's never done a song with an abuser confirmed. He's never done a song with anybody that's suspected of abuse. He's never threatened to remove his music from Spotify because they removed R. Kelly's

music who for sure fucked and held captive underage black women. Hold on, hold on, hold on. This is all very important to Kendrick. Wait a minute, just let me understand what's going on here because I think that you're using sarcasm as a comedic device. It is, it is a comedic device. But you're so fucking smart right now that I don't know if you're serious or making jokes. Are you saying that Kendrick Lamar put it on wax that he is protecting black women from

white comedians jokes, but not the kidnapping, molestation and rape of R. Kelly. And actually, in reality, he would take his own music off Spotify to protect R. Kelly, someone who's kidnapped, molested, and raped black women? With children. Are you saying that he's done songs with other men who have potentially put hands on black women? Not potentially, confirmed. Wait a minute, convicted? Yeah, I don't know what you call Chris Brown. Yeah, whatever that is.

It's not breezy. Not breezy. I took a picture with Chris Brown. Hey, bro, I took a picture with him immediately. Can I tell you something? Yes. We ain't protecting nobody. You gotta protect your fucking selves. Everybody gets these jokes over here.

Yo, you guys been telling me for a year straight Indians fuck mud. What you gonna do? Listen, they going down on it too. I've seen a lot of videos of them eating mud pussy bro. They literally put their head in the mud straight reverse We go down Jamaicans What the bumble cloud is gone Can't call out Jamaicans for something. They're proud of that's true. That's true. My bad That's super racist Al. Can you you know speak on that as a Puerto Rican? I believe I can fly out this podcast right now. This is crazy, but keep cooking. Al, we have to protect you. They're trying to slide on you, bro. Whoa. They're trying to. This is nuts, dude. This is.

And listen, you're just tracking. That's their Splish Splash. More than a Splish Splash? I'm gonna be honest, these kids look Asian. Well, I mean, I mean... I mean, it's the other Asians. I'm with you on that. Anyway, can we get back to something that's really important? Because there's a huge beef on the internet right now that we really need to address. That's true. There's a beef?

There's not, I don't think there's another beef, but you don't know. This is the only one I heard people talking about. Can I ask you guys a serious question? Yeah. Because literally, we filmed a special this past weekend and thank you guys so much for coming out. I really appreciate that. About to get into the edit, but yeah, you guys are amazing.

You killed it. Thank you so much. My team killed it. You guys were fucking incredible. But listen, I shut off my phone for the week, like the week before, you know, Kendrick dropped this album, right? Yeah. Every black person that texts or calls me is like, yo, Kendrick just took a shot at you on the album. Every white person or Asian person or Latino person that calls me is like, yo, good luck on your

special. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So clearly there was a separation and who was, you know, indulging in this content. Okay. So I've been a little out of it, but I come out of the special and it looks like there's so many articles about this album that are about, I don't, I don't want to, you know. Yeah, it was about you. You were trending on my Twitter. No way. Yeah. I might tell you cause you had things to focus on. What a time to be alive where I was not one of the Asians who say were trending on my Twitter. No way. Yeah, I'm not telling you cause you had things to focus on. What a time to be alive where, I was not one of the Asians who said, good luck on your special.

I'm just saying, I'm just saying. What a time to be alive where rappers got to talk about comedians for clout. It's a God bless, dude. Like we are upright, man. God bless. The biggest story about the album outside of the album and people enjoying it was a sub at a comedian?

And you don't even gotta say my name and it still makes headlines? It's crazy. You're welcome. How many views did I give them, do you think? A good chunk. A little chunk. They stole our mustard shit.

Couple million bucks. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. They stole our mustard shit. We've been doing honey mustard for fucking years. Okay, they hop on that, dick riding. He'd be listening. He'd be listening. Of course he listens,

because he specifically I think was reacting to In That Shits and Gigs podcast, which I think they're reacting to. I said something, I asked them if they dated black women, they were like, oh, we dated all women or whatever. And I was like yeah okay and then and then I go Kendrick fans get them yeah and that's all it took yeah and now Kendrick want to talk some shit yeah okay what do you guys think of the

album though I mean I like it here's what I'll say about Kendrick everybody knows I'm a fan but like you got some slappers on there I went there trying to hate and then I listened to it again this morning and there was a few there I'm a fan, but like. He got some slappers on there. It's absolutely some slappers. Album's good. I went there trying to hate. Album's good. And then I listened to it again this morning and there was a few. There you go. Crazy, spooky, scary, hilarious. I love Lefty Gunplay, so anything he's on that's fire.

And the whole song is crazy. All the samples are like. No, they killed it. It's a good album. Mother fuck you though. I took Catching a Stray on a Slapper is fire. You know what I'm crazy about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. a slapper is fire. Yo, I'm crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It kills me. That's awesome. That's what I love about the scene. It's fire. But I don't like him threatening the violence. I don't like that. I don't like him telling people to slide on you. I'm a civilian.

I'm going to the cops too. Oh, okay. What if it's too late? What if they fucking do something to you? I mean, I don't leave my house. But my feeling is like, yo, Kendrick, I think I feel like Kendrick is talking all his shit. And for whatever reason, we just letting him talk all this shit. You know, because we decided we love him right now.

I get it. I do get it. But at the same time, like. And I've always been a fan, but I also said this even in the Drake thing when he when he said the shit about your next show at the Bay, whatever he said, basically kind of like call the violence. Yeah. Remember when Rick Ross got beat up, I was like, yo, Kendrick, you gotta fall back on that call to violence shit. He's like Trump on January 6th. Yo. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like he's trying to get people

to storm the Capitol a little bit. He's trying to get people going, ow! Get people going, Sharla! That's dangerous rhetoric out there. Whoa, Kendrick. Stand back, stand by. Stand back and stand by. He's not even saying that.

He's saying, go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. Ken Beaver going, ow! Ken Beaver going, Sharla! That's dangerous rhetoric out there. Stand back, stand by. Stand back and stand by. He's not even saying that. He's saying, get up in that ass. But he is crazy.

But I need Kendrick, I need you to do it, Kendrick. You want to squabble up again? No, no, I mean, here's the thing. This is the thing that is kind of funny about it, is like, first of all, Kendrick's people and the gang affiliate, everybody in his security, they will kill me, they will destroy me, they'll find me in the street, they'll fucking cut me up,

they'll do whatever, I'm not a tough guy, y'all would do. But just Kendrick, I would make love to him and there's nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar, I would make love to him and the only thing that he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar, I would make love to him, and the only thing that he could do is decide if it's consensual or not. That's the only thing he could do. If it's me and Kendrick, if it's me and Kendrick, no.

This is about physics, it's about physics. I don't even know if I'll get hard, but if we're in a cell, there's a chance that if we're in a cell and we're bored and we've done tattooing each other, whatever you do in the cell, and we ran out of board games and we did all the other things, we cleaned everything, and I'm like, man, I might as well fuck you. There's nothing he can physically do to stop that. Besides put his legs in the air and choose a position.

Maybe I'll let him choose a position. Why are you pulling this picture up, Mark? Why are you doing this? Look at, put up that picture of him and Travis Kelcey girl, look at that shit. Oh my God, dude, that's unbelievable. I'll be honest, I would go so far as to say, I don't think he could stop most people on the planet

from having sex with him. Like, the only reason he got security is to stop people from having sex with him. Like the only reason he got security is to stop people from having sex with him whenever he wants. Now, don't get me wrong, there's people who can fuck me against my will. I was in an elevator once with this drag queen and this motherfucker was like six five. And we're in the elevator and we're going down

and I'm like, yo, if he wanted to take it, I gotta cause a ruckus or something like that. Like, I gotta shit my pants, I gotta do something. I gotta shit my pants. I gotta do something to stop him, I enjoy it. I have no clue what they're into, but I know with Kendrick that he's talking a lot of shit, but if it came down to it, I could put him on my lap,

I could feed him a bottle. I could put him on my lap, I could feed him a bottle, and make love to him if I wanted to and there's nothing he could do about it. I might not be hard, Dick might just slap soft against his butt. But you could just beat him up. You don't have to fuck him, right?

No, no, no, no. We're not doing acts of physical violence over here, bro. That's what he's called. This is an act of sweet love. This is an act of love. Oh, you're a pacifist. I'm saying I could be romantic with him and there's nothing he could do about it to the point like I think I'm so charming

he would just fall into it. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like I think he would just be so charmed he would be like, damn, like, what, what, what, what, let me suck it up. This was MLK's dream, right? Yes, for real. Come on, slap it.

Listen, so we need to figure this out. We need to figure, like the only thing he could do is after I was finished, like write some words that rhyme together about it. Oh, that album would be fire. That would be a go. Oh my God. He can make some calls.

He can make some calls. Yeah, you wanna talk about another album called Damn. Be humble. Sit down. Recurring it. Ask how penetrated. Be humble. Sit down. Re-colonize. Ask I'm penetrated. Listen, but in all seriousness, we love Kendrick Lamar, our woke king, and I think we're going to do our best to abide by his rules. I don't know what his rules are about like me having sex with him if we're in a room together.

I don't think you'd want that. We don't know! Well, I'm assuming. We gotta wait about five years for him to make another album. Nalo Dressen. That's right. There is a chance in five years he would make another album, and the song about this is gonna be sensational.

It's gonna be absolutely sensational. Don't you think? He's gonna have some bars for you at the Super Bowl, watch. He's gonna have some bars for you at the Super Bowl, watch. Ooh! He's gonna have some bars for you at the Super Bowl. I mean, the irony that he's like, we need to protect women, and he's performing at the Super Bowl,

which is literally the Super Bowl of beating the shit out of women guys. He's like, this is the problem. He's like, when you're on your way up, nobody looks at your hypocrisy, because they want you to be on the throne so bad. Naturally, human beings, we all have this. We look at the number two and we're like,

I see myself in you, go out there, go get it. Once you're on the throne, all we see is hypocrisy. It's like Joe Biden with his son right now. Right? It's, anytime the person is in power, and clearly Kendrick is number one right now, anytime he's out there, now we're looking back at

what he's done and we're like, oh, you're this woke guy, but then you really do shit with people that are completely inconsistent with what you say you care about. Maybe you're just using this as an identity to feed your narcissism and you can't just go out there and be a complete narcissist. So you're going to masquerade as an altruist, someone who protects the community, but you only do it when it benefits you when you put out an album. Where's all this love for Black woman

when Kamala was running for president? Was he out there riding? She's Indian, apparently. Good-ass point. Good-ass point. She locked up too many of his dudes, you know? That's true. What I hope is he's just a person who fucked up.

Like, this is a line, it was a throwaway line, you should have thrown it away. Just say you weren't talking about me. That's the best thing you could do, Kendrick. Yo, I don't know who Chelsea is. That guy's scary, stupid, hilarious, or whatever. Just saying he's scary, and I don't even know who he is. I never even heard of his comedy.

I don't know anything about that guy. That was for someone else. never even heard of his comedy. I don't know anything about that guy. That was for someone else. That bar was for someone else. I think that's the smartest thing that he could do. Yeah, he don't want me to. What you don't want to do is say my name. Well, it's hard to run. Say my name three times, I'll feel like Candyman.

That's fast. What rhymes with shoulder? Like that's so hard to put into a song. Electric bolts. Oh, sick. Oh, that could be sick. That'd be kind of cool. Yeah, what other things could be sick. That'd be kinda cool. Yeah. What other things?

Indianapolis Colts. Woo! John Smoltz. Lou Holtz. Woo! This rap shit is low-key easy. Here we are thinking there's some geniuses. They're just rhyming some words together.

That is true. And making shit up. Yeah, it's not that hard. Do you know what I mean? Fuck, go back to talk about Drake. How he very- And making shit up. Yeah, it's not that hard. Do you know what I mean? Fuck. Go back to talk about Drake. How he's a fucking deadbeat dad.

While you do songs with Future. My point is, the woke always get exposed. Are you gonna make a commitment to not making any more racial jokes? I'm gonna make a commitment right now that if Kendrick wants to squabble up What voice should I make him singing What song should I make it? You gonna pull your back out having to duck that Listen if we're in a jail cell Loki if we're in a jail cell, low key,

if we're in a jail cell, right? Jesus. And we're making sweet love, you know? Because there's nothing he could do about it. I like that you're making it consensual sweet love. Can I say that? Yes. No, it's consensual sweet love. Because at a certain point in time,

you realize there's nothing I can. I'm a, you know, he's a pillow. Yeah. Why are you gonna jail yourself with this? No, but I could use him as a pillow. That's what I could do. I could be like, yo, put your thighs at the end of my bed. I'm gonna rest my head on it while I go to sleep. And there's nothing he could do about it. Oh, my God. His people, his people, his people could absolutely destroy me.

I'm not a tough guy. But Kendrick, Kendrick could be a, not even, I would use him as a whole body pillow. So I'd say lay there, rigor mortis, but I'm gonna put like your legs in between my legs. Do you know how pregnant women sleep? Like a wife food, that's your wife food. He's my wife food.

Absolutely, 100%. Anyway, no, no, I had a point that I was just about to make with this. No, very serious point. It was a very serious point. You think I'm just talking about frivolous sex with Kendrick Lamar? Is that what you think that we do on this podcast? It's incredibly serious. It's not frivolous sex.

It's making sweet love. It's making sweet love. Buttercup. Only white comedians can make this joke, bro. I don't even know if we can, bro. It's a new law. make this joke, bro. I don't even know if we can, bro. This is new law. I don't even know if we can. I don't even know if we can. White comedians don't drop a fucking meat in the ass.

Like, I wouldn't put that in the tongue. I didn't say I'd fuck him in his ass. Excuse me? I said I'd make him hold his thighs together tight, make a little pussy out of that. I'm not pulling my dick where it doodles, Mark. That's disgusting. Make a little thigh pussy for me. Squeeze it tight.

You know what I mean? I would do that. I would do that. I would do that. I would do that. I would do that. I would do that. I would do that. I would do that. I would do that. I that's disgusting. That's gay also. Make a little thigh pussy for me. Yeah, always.

Squeeze it tight. Yeah. You know what I mean? I would do that. Put your legs up in the air, sea walk in the sky, and make a little thigh pussy for your boy. That's not gay.

God, I... That's not gay. I need you like this. I need thigh pussy, but I need it today. Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, to I made it today. Two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two. All right. Yes.

This is sit down, be humble. OK? All right, next. Come on. Come on. I'm just a good kid in a mad city. Ty, who's a good child in a mad city? It's fucking mad out here.

Oh, man. Come on. I think you put the other A in it. That was good. mad city. It's fucking mad out here. Oh man. Come on. I think you put the other A in it, that was good. Yeah, because it's really mad. It's really mad. Do you know? Hey man, Kendrick, we love you bro, butt love you. That's true, he loves you.

That's love, this is all said with love, no malice. Yo, no malice, we love you man. We wish you best of luck with all your future endeavors best of luck on top is hard being on top my boy It's hard being on top on top Don't you do it easier than being on bottom, but I will say as far as that line goes We're gonna make fun of everybody and that's just the reality of the matter is everyone gets these jokes That's the ethos of the show is ethos of the comedy that we do. And the second you start,

and he just might not be aware of it. I don't know if he's doing it to sell records or if he's doing it because he just thinks it rhymes or it looks good. Or he's taking advantage of like a viral moment knowing that we'll react, knowing the internet will react. But the reality is the second you make a group protected,

everything else becomes racist. You're either racist to that group or you're racist to everybody else. And when you make fun of everybody, that is the one beautiful thing that allows us to kinda come together and laugh at ourselves and each other. I've been very fortunate to travel the world making fun of people of all different race,

religions, cultures, to their face, everywhere around the world. That is right. Everywhere. And they've had an incredible sense of humor about it. They are coming out specifically to see that happen. So it's not something that's ever gonna change. And maybe it's something that he'll learn. And maybe it's something that he'll start

to understand a little bit more. He might just not know really anything about comedy. I know that sounds crazy, but it just might not be his thing. And like, he might just have that knee-jerk reaction. And he's just like, yo, this is wrong. You can't do this. And maybe that's the only clip that got sent his way. Exactly.

And if you only get sent one clip, then you're like, oh, fuck this guy. But yeah, I just, that was disappointing as a fan. I was like, ugh. Yeah, because you never want, like imagine the person in your friend group going, guys, guys, can we not talk about Asian men for a little bit?

Yeah. A little bit. Like imagine one of your friends saying that. Imagine one of your friends. He's not my friend anymore. No, we are killing that motherfucker for the next three months. Remember that time when you were gay? Yeah.

That's when you say, remember you acted like a gay guy that time? And for three months, you're just getting destroyed. Out of the group shit. Yeah. Immediately. So you don't want to be Kung Fu Karen. That's what ends up happening when you have this type of rhetoric.

Now being on top is different. Being on top is much harder. It's way harder to lead. It's easy to conquer. It's hard to lead. So we hope you do the best with your reign and if it's deserved then it will be long and if it's not deserved then it will be short and you're the one that decides that That's very mature. Thank you very much. Hell yeah Shout out Drake though Yeah, I mean shout out Drake now I almost feel like I should just say a bunch of things about Kendrick that aren't true to get it out the way now in case he tries to say shit about me. Oh

Like you got it. You got to get there first strike first Do you know what I mean? You good. He's probably Al-Qaeda. That's not true. I think he did 9-11. Listen, because he called Drake a pedophile,

you know what I mean? So it's like, I gotta call him shit. Yeah, yeah. Anything is better than suing. That's a good- So call him anything you want. He's a terrorist. He's better than suing, yeah.

He's a terrorist, he's a terrorist. He's better than suing. Yeah, he's better. He's a terrorist, he's an amphibian. You're an amphibian. Yeah. He could breathe underwater, man. He could breathe underwater. I bet you didn't know that about him.

I'm so grateful to you guys. Thank you guys so much. I love y'all. I'll see y'all next week with announcements for 2025. What is going on with this Drake lawsuit? Yeah, Mark, please break this down because on the surface, it seems embarrassing. Yeah, it's interesting.

So it's technically not a lawsuit. Technically. Oh, whoa. Technically it's not a lawsuit. It's a petition. Okay, hey, that don't make it better. And it a petition. Okay, hey, that don't make it better. And it's not. Well, technically.

Yeah. That don't make it better. Well, I think the headline is like, oh, Drake's suing Kendrick Lamar, which is not really true. No, he's, well that. The headline is just suing UMG. Yeah.

Right, but I think people commonly see it as like, oh, he's suing Kendrick, da da da, which is technically, there's like, I don't know the exact terms, I can look it up, but basically like pre-judicial, they're looking for documents. They're suing to get evidence, they're not suing, they're petitioning to get evidence

so that they could build a lawsuit. To build a lawsuit if the evidence is there. Against UMG and his attorneys are basically claiming that UMG was effectively boosting the streams on Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Gus record. And how would they do that? By basically giving it at a discount for the royalties. Can you explain how that works?

So effectively the way I understand it is that in order to run a stream, then whenever you do the stream from a platform, you have to pay the label. So Spotify would have to pay UMG. Yes. And then UMG sets the stream at a price. Correct.

And what you're saying, or Drake is alleging, is that UMG gave a discounted price to Spotify. Correct. That made them play it more because it was more advantageous to them. They're like, oh my God, I get 30% off. Let me just keep spinning this song. Correct. There's other allegations that people within Spotify that quote had a perceived loyalty

to Drake were fired. And so this was like an apparent effort to conceal the scheme. And then they also claimed that by boosting certain streams by one artist because there's a zero-sum game that it also devalued Drake's ability to organically get streams. So because Kendrick's stream is getting much more play because of zero-sum, Drake is getting less play. Now, this is quite interesting because there's another component to this.

I don't know how true this is, but apparently Drake was in a contract negotiation with UMG at the time. He had just delivered, I think, on his last contract, which was like $400 million. And now he's re-upping, he's like, how do I get a $600 million contract? Well, whatever. And UMG, I think, was's like, how do I get a $600 million contract? Well, whatever.

And UMG, I think, was basically like, we don't wanna give you even 400, we wanna give you less. Yeah. So I think he's alleging that they boosted this Not Like Us song so that it could hurt Drake's stock so that they would have a better negotiation for his upcoming album.

A lot of sports franchises do that. I was about to say, 100%. So like, you know, NFL players had a great year, he's about to re-sign and all of a sudden a video comes out of him like doing coke with a hooker. And you could make the argument that the team holds on to that information and then when it's time for contracts, they drop it. You've heard this stuff. So that's, I think, that is, now whether this is true

or not, first of all, I mean, obviously, suing in a situation like this, you lose all street cred. Also, like, he's being called a pedophile in the song, but didn't he tell Kendrick to call him a pedophile in his earlier song? Yeah. Yeah. He also... So it's like...

Wait, what do you mean? Like he had a bar like... You know, TaylorMadeFreestyle. You know, talk about the video of me kissing a 16-year-old. Oh, like when he tried to M&M himself where he like says all the right things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Kendrick was like, okay. And for the record also, Universal and Spotify said that it's untrue.

Well, the 30% discount thing. That is true though, right? Yeah, the 30% discount thing is true, but apparently that's been done before and I think it's been done for Drake. Essentially, something, this might not be it, but something like when you become the featured artist on a Spotify page, UMG might say, hey, if you do that, we'll discount the licensing fee or whatever. And then Spotify is incentivized to be like, okay, bet. And Drake was all over Spotify and Apple Music for I think Gemini?

Or Scorpio, whatever it was called? Guaranteed whatever they're doing for this song, they've done with Drake. They've done with all their artists. It's marketing, right? And like, so he's alleging Paola, he's alleging all these other things. There is an interesting argument here, which is like Drake really feels like this song isn't actually a hit. Like, he's been talking about bots, and he's been talking about all these things from the beginning.

And I wonder if it comes from this place of, Drake's never really heard the song out. Because whenever he's out, nobody plays the song. So I wonder if, like, he's the dude who's out. He's at the club, he's doing different things, he's at social events. He's not hearing this song ever, and I wonder if in his mind he's like,

I don't think motherfuckers are playing it. Now, it's delusional. Yeah, he's also heavy online. He's so on the post. He's so plugged in. But yeah, but there's gotta be some disconnect where he would even go bots. He would even, well, there are bots. I believe all of the allegations that he's claiming.

Are true. Are true. But also true for every artist. Yes. So you just crying when it happened to you, not when it benefits you. But also the nature of it happening is slightly different. Like him just promoting a standard album is one thing, but this is a direct album that's not just also trying to float,

but actively aggressing towards him. Like it's actively defaming his reputation. But that is the nature of a rap battle. It's like he, if they boosted his Taylor Mates or Meet the Grams or whatever it is, it would also defame. I'm fairly certain they boosted Family Matters and they must have boosted Back to Back.

Back to Back slapped, it was a crazy hit. But I'm positive, again, like you said, bots are just everywhere. They're just working every song. Back to Back was the fucking song of the year, it was a crazy hit. But I'm positive, again, like you said, bots are just everywhere. They're just working every song. Back to Back was the fucking song of the year, whatever year it came out. I got a question. Is this their PR company, like a Drake PR company?

Like I see this with Drake, I see this with The Weeknd, I see it through a bunch of artists. Every few days, there's an onslaught of every Instagram page that's like about music has more or less the same post where it's just like Drake is the number one most listened to artist and they all have a different variation of the same post and it all comes out.

And as I'm scrolling casually I go man, he's popping this mother fucker, whatever. But I wonder if that is a PR agency that it's their job to constantly push the narrative that this person is the number one artist. So that is a coordinated effort. Wow, I feel so stupid to just put that together now. Here I am thinking, if we don't get a write up

about something, you know, or if we're not included in a list or something like that, we're like, I guess nobody just acknowledges us. Because we just didn't push it out there to tell them to say that. Because we're not paying a PR agency to constantly push an area. I put together there's certain people.

Yeah, yeah. All that stuff, all Instagram pages, even old train magazines I think people know, like World Sexiest Man in America, da da da. That's all paid. It's all paid. Oh my God. But it's effective.

It is. Because I wouldn't even call myself a casual. I'm like pretty into media. And I'm being, I don't want to say duped, but I'm believing the narrative. I'm like, oh my God, this must be the biggest thing in the world. Here we are busting our ass on our own Instagram. Yeah. Hoping people see it.

When in reality for way less money, you could just pay 20 other Instagram pages and then you'll feel like it's in uh, Unescapable. It feels decentralized because you're going through it and you're like all of these disparate things that have nothing to do with each other are all promoting the same narrative And this is beyond music. I mean there were comedians who were coming up when those when we used to take Uh, we used to really care about those like hottest comedians Yeah, there were some comedians that they were funny Sure But early on they were on every fucking list

and you were like, what the hell is going on? So they got their agents or their PR company. The manager, the P. Weber, the manager probably, boom, boom, boom, boom. It's the, and then you start to buy in, this guy, this is the hot spot. And a lot of these blog sites, the way they work, it's like you just send it to a couple of the top ones.

And then they copy each other. And then all of them. Now, the word, is it inescapable? Inescapable. The inescapability of it, the word, is it inescapable? Inescapable. The inescapability of it, I think, is the greatest, like, motivated factor. Because when you see 10 things online, it feels like the biggest story. Right? Like, with, I mean, honestly, what happened with the Kendrick thing?

It's like, you're online and you see every single post is about it. They're like, oh, Kendrick takes shots and shouts or whatever. And you're like, oh wow, this feels big. In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing. It's a, nobody gives a fine fuck. But the perception, how's, wow. I know I must sound like an absolute retard right now, but if this works with.

I was too, I didn't know it. But like, if this works for like a random narrative around a rap song or a rapper or whatever, imagine what they're feeding to us politically. Imagine what they're feeding to us culturally. Oh yeah, dude. We'll get to it with the Biden stuff. You can hear the same line from different media outlets, sorry, about Joe Biden and defending this exact line. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Would you say decentralization? Yeah. that is where it becomes so effective.

Yeah. When it feels like everyone around you shares the opinion. If you don't have the opinion, you go, I must be wrong. Yeah. You just automatically conform. Yeah. Bro, you wonder if Kendrick put that lyric in there because he knew you were going to talk about it? Of course. And then you were going gonna promote the album? Of course! He didn't count on us taking Thanksgiving off!

You motherfucker! Crazy, spooky, scary, hilarious. It was a special of film. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Hits you with a nice style better episode. Take that! Okay?

Now we talk about it. He fucking got us. Goddamn. Goddamn. we talk about it, right? He fucking got us. God damn. God damn. He's fucking smart, man. You know, how many Easter eggs do we have in this episode that you didn't even realize? Dude, there's so many Easter eggs. So many.

Ooh, Kendrick fans, there's so many Easter eggs. Find them. Nope, you just missed one. Ooh, there was one. Let's see if you can rewind it and find it. The total time in the episode was 366 seconds. Even the rap beef between Kendrick and Drake, I think in the grand scheme of things,

the entire world didn't really care. Like Drake is still going to be the top streaming artist or rap artist, but to us, that was the only thing. We think like Drake has been dethroned, he hasn't. That's so... He's still going to outstrip. Don't dethrone in what way? Numbers? Numbers. Yeah. I just think Drake is... Cultural influence? Maybe a little bit here, but I think worldwide, no. Yeah. This is, I think this is, and I think

it's smart what he's doing now. Like he's going to do a little tour in Australia. I thought that was really smart because the way that Kendrick timed this beef was brilliant. Yeah. Right when you finish your tour. Yeah. I'm going to go to war with you and you have nothing to show that you're popping. Right? Because the beauty of having a tour is say whatever you want. Videos are coming out. That's reality. All this is chit-chat and comments online. That's reality, right?

There's some people that said some shit about me online or made videos about me online. But then when we post The Garden, Crypto, The Forum, the arena, Etihad Arena, the arenas in, literally the arenas Drake is playing in Australia, the arenas that we play in Australia. It's like, it's very hard to believe that when you're seeing the reality of people showing up.

And I think Drake needs a nice win. Drake needs the, you know what the tourist called, Anita Mags Windbower. Yeah, that I didn't think was smart. It felt a little desperate. But we could let Drake off the hook. This is the dumbest thing he could have possibly done. Yeah, that I didn't think it felt a little desperate. Yeah, but we can let Drake off the hook This is the dumbest thing he could have possibly done this suing shit

Oh, like this is just a look so fucking corny Yeah, that's what I would say to anybody who says his streams are gonna be up because Drake is a pop star He just is it's like saying Nelly out he outsold. I don't know Jay-Z maybe in the year 2000, from 2000 to 2007. That don't make him a better rapper than Jay-Z or nobody's gonna put him on a rap list above Jay-Z. But it was pop music that hit. Drake has pop music that hits,

so he's always gonna be crazy ahead on streams. I just think as a rapper, he's moving horribly. Anita Max Win, not a great name for a tour. The lawsuit, it's like, you already got embarrassed and now you're just embarrassing yourself. What do you do? But what if it goes to a lawsuit and then he's able to win and successfully prove in a court that Kendrick's dreams were inflated? No one cares. Yeah.

The song was still fire. That's the thing. No one cares. This is the thing that he's messing up. If the song wasn't a slapper, but it was really popular, I think that we'd be like, ah, that makes sense. Yeah. The song goes crazy.

Yeah. It goes, it's almost as good as Whacked Out Murals. It's really on that level. I might be biased, but it's on that level of Whacked Out Murals. But what if not like us had to think about what jokes were funny? Then do you think it would have been just the greatest of all? Greatest song of all time. You could charge Spotify double.

We're still streaming. That shit would beat Thriller. Yeah. That would have been a good thriller. Yeah, if you said about Euphoria and I love Euphoria, but like we'd be like, oh yeah, Euphoria being the number one song in the world seems a little weird. Yes. But not like us.

You hear it outside everywhere and everybody's rapping every lyric when it comes on. That fuck him up. Is that? What? Yeah. That fuck him up. Yeah, that shit is fire. That shit is crazy. No, listen, he's really good at making music. That's the other thing. As annoying as he can be, he is also very good at making music. Some of the stuff I'm like, okay, whatever.

But sometimes you hear it and you're like, what the fuck? This guy's phenomenal at the craft of making music. So saying that somebody's using bots that's also really good at making music, it's a tough pill to swallow for, I think. And has been co-signed by every other goat. Every other goat also says, nah, this guy's a fucking truth. So it's not even, you can't just say, oh, only casuals like him. You can't just say, like, if I hate on Drake,

but Snoop, Jay-Z, whoever, every one of them is like, nah, that guy is different. I'm a dickhead. Fucking Snoop apologized. Yeah, yeah. To whom? To Kendrick. To Kendrick. What'd he say?

What'd Kendrick say about Snoop? He said... So remember when Drake put out the diss where... The TaylorMade freestyle? The AI, and Snoop reposted it. And Kendrick's like, yo, how you gonna do that? You must have ate edibles. He said it must have been the edibles.

He said, like, I prayed it was the edibles or something like that. Basically, like, why is a West Coast guy big up in someone else using Kupak's voice and whatever? And then Snoop tweeted, GNX album is fire. You're right, Kendrick goes to the Edibles or something like that with the laughing, crying emoji.

Snoop's the man. Yeah. Snoop can do whatever he wants, bro. That's OG. But that's like Snoop could do whatever he wants and the fact that he even retracted that, that is, they're respecting Kendrick like that. Like Drake is every step, even the fucking going on streaming

and the betting and doing little subliminals like itch, you can tell he's still hurt. Going at DeMar DeRozan. He's still hurt. He's still bothered. Yeah. I think Drake, like most people in entertainment, care deeply what people think of him and they crave approval. Fair. And now for the first time in 20 years, Drake believes that the perception of him might be skewed. It might be he's a pedophile, or it might be he's, I don't think that people really believe he's a pedophile. Do you guys think that, they really believe that about Drake?

I don't think so, I don't think so, but it's just a funny thing. It's a funny punch line, right? But I think that that really affects him. Listen, he is a performer, he is an artist. He does something in front of a crowd. We know a lot about that. We're affected by what people think about us. And that's gotta be fucking tough, especially when you've been loved by everybody.

A reign that we have never seen in my life. Phenomenal. Maybe all, well not all the music, but definitely rap. We've never seen someone on top for a decade, 15 years? On top. Even when Push exposed him for whatever. Came back. Right back.

Within a month. You know how Drake wins this? Just threatened to make sweet love to Kendrick. That's what I'm saying. That's good. Because we saw that piece. That piece is real? That piece is real.

No, that's aggravated assault. That's dangerous. Deadly weapon. That's assault with it. Deadly weapon. Wait, so you say you not carry it like that? My shit gonna fit a little better. My shit gonna fit a little better.

And I'm gonna call Kenny my holster. He's like, show him like us. Yeah. Hey, thank you, dog. Yeah. No, but for real, I don't think he went there with it, and he needs to. Yeah.

That's where you need to go with it. Yeah. If you really about that life. C-O-B. Certified Loverboy. Yo, certify, life. C-O-B, certified lover boy. Certified lover boy, show us that you're a certified lover boy, man. Put him on your lap.

Give him the popcorn. You gotta give him that pop pop pop. Stop sucking. Pop pop pop. Pop pop pop. No, for real, you gotta give him that popcorn. If you're not willing to go there, you're not willing to win a battle.

You're not willing to win a beef. Kendrick went there, called him a pedophile. You got to go there. Come here, little kid, sit on my lap. That is the only one up. You can't go anywhere else. There's nowhere past that. Or Kendrick got to be like, I'm going to suck it. Oh, that's the only way.

And then they meet up. Then they meet up. And they suck it. And he's like, wow! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it!

You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! or Kendrick I be like, I'ma suck it. Oh, that's the only way. And then they meet up. Then they meet up. And they suck each other's ass. And be, wow! And they suck each other's ass. You deserve this.

You know that. You deserve it. I should go break the internet, right? Yes, I will. I'm gonna break the internet. We started right here. They face off. That's fucking no sense.

They start sucking each other's ass. What type of lube do you want? Mustard! Mustard! Mustard! Mustard! Mustube do you want? Mustard! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! All right! Oh man! We solved it, we solved it, guy. I think we did figure it out.

Yeah, I think we did. Everybody gets these jokes, yo. Everybody. Yeah. Everybody. And nobody's gonna stop getting them. Okay? Absolutely.

That's the reality of the matter. Maybe not my grandma though Can we stop that listen we go we go She is okay, just check Yeah, you're gonna want her for what she did for those What do you think the flaps look like? I'm sorry, American. What do you think? Mustard, help me! What do you think the flaps look like? I think she got like a palm tree hanging out of her. What?

Oh, Jocelyn! This is what I mean, bro. Oh, we moan, oh, we moan. We can stop the joke somewhere. In the jungle, the mighty jungle. Please don't sing. My grandma's here. I'll keep moving. We can stop the joke somewhere. In the jungle, the mighty jungle. Please don't sing. My grandma's queen.

Ta-da! No, there's some things we don't have to joke about. We can save some room. Stop, fuck him up. You can't. But you know, Kendrick talked about his grandma too. His line in TV Off, bitch, I cut my granny off. If she don't see it it how I see it.

God damn. Oh, that's wild. Cut your granny off? Yeah, no, I would never cut my granny off. She sucked out a thousand dollars. I had to cut her off either. I would never cut your granny off either. Yeah, I had to cut her off.

No, you should cut her off. No, I'm not cutting your granny off. I had to cut her off. Yo, apologize to your grandma Kendrick, God. That's law, you can't make jokes about your grandma. That's law. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you.

I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you.

I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. It's not no I think we gotta put her legs in the diamond

And then you gotta get up in between the diamond and then you have her toes go webbing a webbing and cross like that Lock in no. Yes, you do. No Then you take her in a bounce house Call up Drake No. Yes, you do. No. That's law. No, no. Then you take her in a bounce house. What? Take her in a bounce house. Call up Drake. Take her in a bounce house.

Take her in a bounce house. Let's go over some topics. Let's talk some sports, dude. Yo, what do we got going on? Yo, there's, first of all, there's going to be great games this week. Who we got? The best games is this Thursday. Thursday night games are not always good.

Where is, what's, is that on Amazon? Amazon. Amazon Prime. Packers Lions. Okay. The Lions are, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know not always good. Is that on Amazon? Amazon. Amazon Prime. Packers Lions. The Lions are I think 11-1. Best team in the league according to most people. Packers are a little up and down but still very good. They're like 9-3 I think.

But it's a divisional game. And I think it's in Detroit but still it's gonna be a fucking good game. I I think it's in Detroit, but still it's gonna be a fucking good game. I actually think Green Bay has a chance. I think Detroit has been kind of, they had some huge wins, massive wins, but they had a few in a row, it seems like, where they just kind of squeaked by. Why are they so good this year?

I know they were good last year, but like what's? I think the offensive coordinator's name is Ben Johnson. He's a fucking, like an amazing, like really creative play designs, a good offensive coordinator can level up the play of the quarterback. Jared Goff has been fairly good his whole career, nothing incredible at all, but this year he's like playing out of his mind. So I think that's the main thing and then I think the coach Dan Campbell made like a culture that is like true. He's legit.

Did you watch the Hard Knocks at all? No. It's a show I don't normally care for, but if you watched the Detroit Lions one from like two years ago when he first got there, it's awesome. You love this guy. You love playing for him. You love rooting for him. And they've just all bought in,

in a way that I didn't know if they could recover from San Francisco, but they did. I think the coach said something that was, yeah, said something about that loss. He's like, well, this is the hardest thing. It's getting your team back up to go do it again. Like when you reach almost the mountaintop, that's a far way to fall.

And they had a big lead and they blew it. They just fell apart. I don't know if they'll fall apart this year. The Eagles look really good. The Packers look good. They could lose. I mean, this Sequa-Barkley turnaround is unbelievable. Un-fucking-believable, dude.

And what is it? It's just like, is it better play calling, is it better line? I think he's healthier and it's a good offensive line. Good offensive line makes the biggest difference, but also he's just healthier. I think we love these stories because there's always a little bit in us this feeling like if I was given the opportunity.

Yeah, and he was kinda disrespected by the Giants in free agency, which we all identify with, feeling disrespected, unappreciated by employers, blah, blah, blah. So we're all kind of rooting for them. The other game that's gonna be really good though is the Chiefs and Chargers. I think the Chargers actually have a shot at this. Because the Chiefs just keep beating,

they barely beat everyone. They're winning every fucking time. It's like defying all probability, but they're winning every game by like three points, two points. But isn't there a little part of you that goes, that's because when the going gets tough, they have another level they can get to? I think so, but the Bills beat them, I think pretty handily, I think.

And the Bills are really good. They're like a truly good team. And I think the Chargers with Jim Harbaugh as their new coach, and he's a quarterback guy, I think they're a good team. So you're going, what are your picks? I think I go Lions and I think I go Chargers. But I don't know what the spreads are or anything like that. Those are teams I think will win. But yeah, I think that Chargers can actually beat the Chiefs. I think, again. I mean, that's probably the money right there. Yeah, Mahalem seems to pull it out, but like that,

those would be my picks. But this is a fun football season, man. There's a, I can't believe, I know people are gonna be so excited when I make this analogy with paddle, but. I've noticed, you know, if we're playing against people that are better than us, and it goes to like a golden point, I don't know if they do this in tennis at all, where it's like deuce and you just go, okay, whoever wins the next one.

Oh, no. Okay. So I noticed that we're playing with people that are better than us. It might get to golden But they win every golden and that's because they have that extra level Yeah, and they just took all their foot off the gas a little bit. We got kind of close We didn't close it like no they have another fucking level and I feel like that's Pat Mahomes Yeah, if he has that kind of Brady esque composure it's like, if you let him stay in the game, late, he's gonna make something happen. So you need to really pad that fucking lead against him.

Yeah, I guess actually the Bills game did get close in order to think about it. But yeah, that could be it. But at the NFL, the talent disparity is not what, because of free agency and all these other things, there's a lot more parity. So it's not like you can just slide by doing that forever. Sorry, go, go, go.

The talent gap between you and the guys across you from the net is probably pretty big. Yeah, big. This is not, the NFL is not, I mean, he's the best, but like, you know, still. Can you tell me the Derek Henry story that I keep hearing about? Derek Henry, God. There's like a resurgence and... Oh, dude. So he could, he...

The idea is that running backs... The idea of running backs, you don't pay him after 30. Derrick Henry is one of the best running backs ever maybe. And he enters free agency. He says kind of openly, I want to play for Dallas. Dallas is like, no, we want to save our money. We're so cheap. We're like the fucking Clippers from back in the day. We just don't spend on free agents. They don't sign them. Baltimore picks him up and he's having a crazy year.

But he's like insanely dedicated. Like one of these Tom Brady types died type. That's what I know. Fried food, no refined sugar, intermittent fasting won't eat until after his workout. But like if he does eat, it'll be like a banana or half an avocado suffering. But then also the play that went viral in Thanksgiving is he got like to handle handily tackled by some little white cornerback. Oh, Dejan? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooper Dejan is his name. But it was tricky.

Like he was catching a screen, so he didn't really build up momentum. I mean, the tackle was beautiful. And the tackle was great. Shout out to Dejan. Fucking beautiful. But yeah, Derrick Henry is still a problem. Okay. Yeah.

And is this another one of these cool stories where the two running backs that could potentially break the running back record were guys that potentially were afterthoughts. Yeah, yeah, like kind of just not wanted by their old teams and nobody was really going crazy. These are the storylines you need in sports, I feel like outside of who's going to win the championship. There's the who's going to win the championship and then there's like the the the underdogs you can't really call personal, but these like personal stories where you can relate to them outside of them actually winning the final game. And team-wise, underdog-wise,

Buffalo looks like, at the moment, the best team in the league. Historically, never won anything. Super loyal fans, the best, Bill's Mafia. You almost want them to get one. And then the other one is Detroit. Detroit, we all feel bad for Detroit as a city. And then all of a sudden they're the best team in the league.

This is the best record they've ever had through 12 games. So like those two storylines alone in each conference is enough to make this exciting. The Chargers are good again. Jim Harbaugh's kind of taking this quarterback that we thought might not be good and might be falling apart and turning him around. It's like, there's so many storylines going right now.

It's so fun. I don't feel like I know what they're doing. I'm cool, I'm curious to see what happens once the Netflix games come on. Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Because it's to me, it's just, and I know people can do it because they have YouTube TV on their phone or whatever like that, but it just seems so much easier to open up the app and watch the game. The Tyson Paul fight proved that. 60 million households, insanity. It's just so much easier. I think that it's gonna be very hard

to not open up your phone and just watch a little of the game. In the same way that now that the pay per views are one click away on your phone, I'm watching every single one. It's also just habit. The first thing most people go to is Netflix. If they're on TV, on their smart TV,

first app I open is Netflix. And then that transition for sports, because sports was the last one, they're the last one that needed to, because we're gonna watch the fucking games no matter what. But if those numbers double, triple, skyrocket, yeah, what does that do for the brand? And how much will Netflix pay for the rights?

Because networks would pay everything, because sports is one of the few things you have to watch live. There's like a few TV shows, maybe every year, maybe. Maybe one, honestly, a year. But sports, if I'm watching, if I'm waiting, it might get ruined for me, oh fuck. So I'll watch it live, I'll talk to my friends,

and so networks will pay for it because advertisers are like, people aren't gonna fast forward through these commercials. They'll sit to watch it live. But if Netflix throws crazy bags, it's done. By the way, if you're gonna throw some bread down, obviously you're gonna do it with steak. Steak is the leader in global betting in US social casinos.

I've been watching it. I think it's I think they've got two things going for them It's not as promoted as penguin Penguin I go into penguin and I go I've already seen 40 Instagram posts about how it's the highest rated episode on IMDb So I'm basically like

Unfortunately when my brain is wired, I'm looking to High expectations kills it exactly. So Dune I had nothing to watch and I start watching it and like there's some line in the beginning It's like and then women can figure out something. I'm like, oh my god, don't do this fucking like forced identity politics bullshit But the story's feeling Game of Thrones-y. It's an interesting world. They spent some money on the set design. Like the sets look beautiful. Like each literal world is drastically different.

Very cool. They got good actors. Like I'm three Epson. I couldn't get through The Penguin. I tried. I could, just forom. I couldn't get through The Penguin. I tried. I could. Just for whatever reason, I couldn't do it. I know I'm wrong with The Penguin. Everybody loves it. But this shit... I think they might got one now.

Yeah, this is good. I think they might got one. Bro, I just found out about True Detective. The fuck is wrong with you guys? First season phenomenon. Why didn't no one tell me? This shit isn't me. After that... You know what? I watched the most recent one.

I liked it. Really? Yeah, that's good. The sick place in Alaska. The thematically it's a little bit different. Who's in it? Oh, the lesbian, the little lesbian. Lesbian actress.

Little lesbian actress. What's her name? Jodie Foster. Oh, she's a lesbian? Yeah, she's lesbian. I didn't know that. She's phenomenal, bro. She is. Yeah, she's a lesbian yeah she loves me she's phenomenal bro she's great actress she's also great I heard the one with Herschel Ali was good oh that was pretty good too yeah yeah that was pretty good too first one's still undeniable I mean with McConaughey and

mesmerizing I've never seen a performance like that Harrelson's Woody Harrelson's beast dude I love Harrelson you just started watching yeah I love harrelson. You just started watching. Yeah, I'm on episode two. It's just fire Mark also just found out about Derek Henry on Thanksgiving Yo go back to his college highlights we're watching college highlights of Derek Henry. He's like, he's big. Like, he's good. I don't know who he is. You should look into this. This guy's wild. And then who's the fat quarterback? Jared Lorenz.

I was like, Jared Lorenz. What's going on? I was showing him. Yeah, I think he died. Hefty lefty. I was showing him uniquely different sized players in the NFL. We started on season one of the NFL.

This is crazy. Very tense. This is insane. Joe Montana? Come on. Anyway, let's get back to the show, boys. Very talented. That's crazy. This shit is insane. Joe Montana? Come on, dude. Anyway, let's get back to the show, boys. Yo, shout out Joe Biden. Real one.

Real one. Joe Biden. Finally. Finally. Real one. First of all, a lot of people are, okay, let's just clarify some things. There are people that are annoyed by this.

They're not annoyed that he did it. I just wanna point out. Because anybody in this situation is gonna use their power to protect their son. Correct. Like 100% of the time. It doesn't matter if you pardon your child. How's yes?

How's yes? Maybe not Akash dad, but. It's very rare. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, son, you think your daddy would pardon you? No. that but I mean that good question I think he would but he charged you like 10% yeah yeah he would not pardon will pardon me, but then he just will make sure I had a really shitty life after

or something like that. You wouldn't accept the pardon. You're like, I'm going to stay right here. I don't want to deal with this. He's like, you ain't holding this over my head. I'm getting butt fucked in this cell. I think the thing that's annoying, obviously, is this idea that Democrats pretend that they're better than Republicans.

Yes. Once Democrats just be like, yo, we ain't that Democrats pretend that they're better than Republicans. Yes. Once Democrats just be like, yo, we ain't shit. And also, don't get me wrong, Republicans also pretend that they're better, right? Everybody has their own little grandstanding. They just do it about different things. I guess, yeah. But Democrats are like, the Republicans won't respect the rule of law. He's going to destroy it.

And I guess this isn't breaking the rule of law, but Hunter broke a law. And then he's using a caveat to get him out. But I think this is the breaking the rule of law, but Hunter broke a law, and then he's using a caveat to get him out. But I think this is the annoyance of the Democrats. It is the hypocrisy. Oh, hypocrisy, hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is the theme of the episode today, Kendrick. So, yeah, yes, yes it is, yes it is.

He's still watching. I know, he's still watching. Kendrick, he's still watching. He's like, I was hearing about this Hunter Biden story. I know. I think he's too bad. No, Kendra, he's still watching. He's like, I was hearing about this Hunter Biden story. I will tune in. Who wants to tune in? There might be some easter eggs in here.

There might be some different things. He's a Patreon. He is a Patreon subscriber. Anywho, so I think that's the annoying thing. Nobody disagrees with the action. Correct. Or at least they shouldn't. It's a very small amount.

What did he do even? Pardoned his son? No, what did Hunter even do? Get his dick soaked with a Glock in his hand? That's a crime in America? What the hell? How does an American you can be? But what is he, like, what is he hemmed, jammed up for?

Who got his in? He didn't fill out a gun for him correctly. Oh my God. He lied on it. This is America. Yeah. I think he said he'd never been convicted of a crime or something like that. He might have forgot. He was off the drugs.

Yo. Yeah. Yo, I'm not bad about the form. I was high as shit. Yeah. I didn't know what was going on. Real talk. And I mean this sincerely. Do you have any sins? Because in my backpack, I think I do.

Somebody... Davi! Backpack. You don't want to know? Well, I want to know what's going on. I'll be catching everything, bro. Hold on. What's that one?, I want to know what's going on. I'll be catching everything, bro. What's that one?

3%. Yeah, throw it. What the? My hands are crazy right now. Golden Glove. My hands are absolutely crazy right now. Your hands are insane. Shit.

Throw Kendrick at me. These are only 3 milligrams. Okay. So yeah, I don't know. Your hands are crazy, but you can't open them. They're not strong enough. They're not strong enough. But they're quick.

They are fast. Is it child proof? What the fuck is your idea? This is crazy. This one is strong. This is a strong one. Ooh, I can really smell that one. He also didn't pay his taxes.

Who didn't? Hunter, but then paid them back after. I feel like you shouldn't have to pay taxes to be honest. Don't you feel like that? Yeah, conservatives should look at this and be like, yo, this guy hates theft. Oh, sounds like we're on Hunter Biden's stand. Yeah, he loves guns, hates taxes. Nah, shout out Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden's a conservative. He's a real conservative. He really is, dude. That's it. He 100% is. No, I mean, like, yeah, this is just, it's the glaring hypocrisy and you got to let Republicans run with this one to have some fun. And you said Democrats, y'all got to eat this one. You said

for months we are not, Joe Biden will not pardon Hunter. And that is the concern that people have, which is rules for thee and not for me. And that is the criticism of the Dems rules for thee and not for me. This is a glaring example of it. Republicans, you allowed to have some fun and dance on this one as much as you want, and Democrats, you gotta eat it. Simple as that. I think Biden said that shit because he was going to run again,

and he's like, all right, let me say the good shit now, get an office, and then after, I think he had planned the entire time he was gonna pardon us. Of course! He's gonna pardon us. That's his son! But he's tweeting like, oh, nobody's above the law.

Don't say that. Just in general. Say nobody's above the law so far. Yo, say that shit. Sell them a dream. Say whatever the fuck you want, bro. God damn, let's not play in safe anymore. Say whatever the fuck you want. I don't like that, dude.

Watching legacy media, like I was saying the line, everybody has one line, which is, well, now that we have a convicted felon in office, all are off it's like don't make it they're worse than us still just be like hey who gives a fuck what y'all expect you wouldn't pardon your son you wouldn't lie about it I wish I was Joe came out and said that exactly yeah who job do you want me to try to lose the election what am I supposed to do tell you earlier oh yeah I'm gonna break the law it's actually not the law but I'm gonna do anything but I'm gonna bail my kid out just because I have a lot of power.

Yeah, you're not gonna vote for that. Maybe we wouldn't. Do you think you're a part of your son? Of course I'm a part of my son. I'm the president. And anybody who says they're not is lying. I made him a part owner of a gas company in Ukraine. You think I'm not gonna part? Same thing Trump did when they actually, that is exactly when they asked him about the taxes. He was like, yeah, I found loopholes around paying taxes. That's what you're supposed to do.

If Joe was like, hey, I'm a pardon my son. And if Trump says he wouldn't, he's a fucking liar. You might be like, I like that. I like that. I respect that. It's funny that he's claiming now that DOJ is like, out to get him. Yeah, out to get him. And I'm like, yo, that's Trump's ball, bro.

Yeah. Wait a minute, who's saying that, Biden? Yeah, Biden. The witch hunt, they're only doing this because of what his last name is. Get the fuck out of here. Kinda. And both are just stealing our shit.

We've been saying that justice system's been fucked up forever, bro. Yeah, actually steal a lot of our shit. What do white people steal from black people do come on We've been off the back see black people knew that back seat was fucked up And now y'all late to shit that's even And now y'all late to shit, that's even our shit. That's even our shit. That's even our shit.

They really, you see? Y'all really staking our shit, bro. Son, it is so true. Black people knew that backseat was not to be trusted. Why did you guys know? Son, we be knowing you can't trust the fucking government. It literally is, yo, this is so funny. All the bars is what we've been saying.

No, this is so funny. The new, like, you can't trust the government, you can't trust authority, you can't trust it. Black people have been not trusting them, rightfully so, for fucking 200 years. Now white people are in on it, and it's like. That's a great take, that is a great take. Oh my God, now white people are like,

I think the police do some fucked up shit. And I'm like, thank you, thank you, finally. Killed all of our leaders. So next week I'm gonna become Karen's, watch. You know I'll break that shit back. I mean, it just started, did you watch G&X? Did you see the album? It's big, big shit.

Oh, that's funny. Bro, blinding trust in the government is a little racist, dude. Talk to me about it, because you have all these people who are like, dude, the government wouldn't do anything wrong, and they're like, oh, what about Tuskegee, you know, syphilis experiments? And they're like, oh, well they wouldn't do it to us you know

how I mean like they would do it to those people. They're not gonna do it to white people. So what happened they gave syphilis to the pilots? Why would they give it to the pilots? They want to see at altitude if they would have syphilis. Because they had the red tails down there. So what was the experiment? It was done by the Germans. They had the greatest pilot down there. Yeah. So what was the experiment? It was done by the Germans. They had the greatest pilot that America ever had. They didn't lose one bomber in World War II. There's an American public school system right here, people.

I'm just saying. The Red Tails had the greatest flying record in American war history. They didn't lose one bomber. That was white racists. They were like, I'm not flying unless them black people jump in the air with the planes on their backs and protect this bomber.

Yeah. Jump in the air with the planes on their backs. I don't think they can fly, but them motherfuckers can jump. No, but, and then they were giving them syphilis as well, or they're different black people at the base that they're giving syphilis. What is different black people doing?

So hold on, this is my body. So hold on. So there is a syphilis black. Yeah. Yeah. And then there was the red tail. They were not military. These syphilis guys. What? Yeah. No, they were just regular. Oh my God. They should have been in the military. They would have completely avoided this. I don't know about that. But yeah, I think they were just sharecroppers down there. They were doing their thing and they were like, oh, we're gonna do an experiment.

We're gonna give you some vaccines and stuff. Turned out sharecropping still in 1942. No, I think it was like some shit like that. Like they were, it was like some fucked up situation where they weren't, they were kind of working or something. Yeah. And they were like, yeah, we'll give you I don't know the exact thing. Talk that shit.

I don't know. I know he's wrong. I know he's wrong. There's a perfect example of how we. They were sharecroppers. You see, I told you. That was still around in the 90s. Respect.

Yeah. Yeah. America is pretty raised to a reason. You can't trust America. Come on, man. I've been telling you. No, no. America's pretty racist, so reason. Can't you can't trust America? Come on, man. I've been telling you. Nah, nah. America's fire.

But they pulled out. There's some bad people in it. Yeah, it's a bad home braids, dude. A lot of migrants. There's a lot of migrants. It was probably the migrants that did that. Bad home braids. That's a bad home braids.

Home braids. But it might have been the migrants that did that shit. It might have been the migrants. We got to look into it. We got to look into it. OK, but anyway, go on. And they were like, no, we're going to give you a little vaccine.

They were, all right, bet, sure. And then they gave them untreated syphilis. And they were like, damn, they die from this shit. And that was the experiment. I wonder if they're gonna die. But the idea was that it was gonna protect them. No. No, the idea was, let's see how long it takes for them to die.

Yeah. Who okayed this? It was like a Mr. Beast video. We gave 100 people syphilis. Yo, and you know what's crazy? Yo, he said, who okayed this? Yo, fuck. We gave 100 people siblings. Seriously. Hey, you know what's crazy? Yo, he said, who okayed that?

Yo, fuck. Doesn't this guy go like the Latin? Like, who's okay in there? Yo, they were the Wuhan bats of the 1930s. This is nuts. What are you going to tell me now? That black people weren't paid a livable wage when they was picking

all the cotton and shit? What the fuck else are you going to tell me now, did the black people weren't paying a livable wage when they was picking all the cotton and shit? What the fuck else are you gonna tell me now? It's crazy, right? No, there's a lot of shit going on. You're saying that America has a history of racism towards people of color. Is this what you're telling me right now? It's news to me, right?

I know that. Well, we gotta stop joking around about it, man. Those guys. I think we gotta stop joking around about them immediately. Those guys, those Tuskegee victims are the reason millions of black people didn't get the COVID vaccine. So they protected them. But some of them, yeah.

There you go. Yes and no. But let's go on that. Some of them got the ability to fly and that's how they became the Airmen. To me, it's like X-Men. Everyone has an origin story. That is a pretty sick thing. Yeah, that good can come from bad.

Good can come from bad. To me, it's like X-Men. Everyone has an origin story. That is a pretty sick thing. Yeah, that good can come from bad. Good can come from bad. You know? I mean, wow. And if you have civilized listeners, try a flight simulator. You might have amazing eyesight. You might have a super power.

Mark is good, dude. This guy is fucking good. What is the first person of the Wright brothers playing was just a black guy with a big fucking big body? Just jumping in his head. Run really fast, this is just Wemba Yama. Yo, Wemby! Oh man. Oh yeah, bro. This shit is wild.

I think Biden fucked up the timing of pardoning his kid. Every Thanksgiving, presidents have to pardon a turkey They bring out a big silver platter. It's his son All right, fine Dude last I think it was last Thanksgiving they pardon this turkey, but we thought it was Mark's grandma's What the fuck are you even doing right now? Why are you talking to my girl? No, no, no. Can we blur that out? Can we blur that?

Can we blur that? I mean, it's like, is there nothing sacred, dude? This is my actual grandmother. I made sure I'm like family, dude. What the fuck? She's an American hero, man. She's an American hero. You gotta respect those vets, man.

God damn. You gotta respect the vets. You gotta respect the vets. She actually met one of the Tuskegee Year. Oh, she sure did. Damn! With all due respect. Why you made that so sexual? Damn!

Shout out to the Red Tails though. I don't think that we talk about them enough. Yeah. Do y'all even know three Red Tails? I don't think that we talk about them enough. Yeah. Do y'all even know three red tails? Y'all can't even name three. You thought they had siblings until 10 years ago. Lawrence Fishburne. Michael B. Jordan.

JB Vance. Can y'all name three real reds? No, the guy from, anyway. Nobody can. No, I can't. Like real real ones? I can't even name Red Tail. It is a real shame that we can't name three.

They got a couple movies. They did get a couple movies. And they didn't lose a single bomber. No, they flew the P-51 Mustang. Yes, they did. But not at first. Where were they flying at first? Something else.

Diet Coke version of Fighter Party. Oh, they didn't give them the good shit. No, they didn't give them the good. What did they? Diet Coke version of Fighter Party. Oh, they didn't give them the good shit? No, they didn't give them the good shit. Then they gave them the good shit. The P-51 Mustang. That's like they do with TM. They gave us the chitling,

but then we turned that shit on. That is true. You guys are pretty resilient. We're good. Yeah, wow. We're good. Wow, Miles, it feels like you wanna contribute something. No.

Miles is chomping at the bit. What's up, Miles? What do you want to say? Tell us a fact about that. Technically they lost six bombers. I don't want to. No, Marcus slid in a hell of a joke. What'd you say?

What did I say? I'm not. Come on, is it an Easter egg? This always ends on me. It's an Easter egg. It's an Easter egg. Give us an Easter egg. It's a good Easter egg.

Come on. Son, it's not a Kendrick Conter. He's not saying an N-word on stage. Yo, facts of all the women he could have brought on stage, a beautiful black woman he could have given that opportunity to. And no, what did he do? Brought up a crackress. Brought up a crackress to just scream the N-word on stage. A crackress.

That's fucked up. I feel like I can't even say that. That's crazy. Crackress? You think that's too hateful? That might be your shit. Well that's all Kendrick is doing, bringing crackresses up on stage to scream the N-word at his shows. And he wonders why so many white people show up. It's like a lotto. They're like, damn, it's not the Trump rally, what happened?

All right, man. Look at these heroes. Shout out to them. Shout out to them, man. Let's get a couple names because we got to commit this to memory. Let me get some. While you're doing that. Oh, we got Lee Archer. Lee Archer.

Eugene Calvin Chatham. Benjamin Davis Jr. Gene Derricott. Okay, okay, we got it. Bro, some of them. That's what we're gonna cut it off. If you give us too many, we're not gonna remember. Bro, some of them have sick nicknames

and some of them have really shitty nicknames. Okay, give us the sickest nickname. All right, so some of them are like Captain Martin EZ Julian, sick. Ooh, sick. First Lieutenant Joe Lightning Little. Sick. Ray Reagan Ganon, like those are all sick.

Ray Reagan. Just kind of fire. Yeah, right? That's fire, that's a good one. This guy's name is Flight Officer Maurice Bumps Wilson. Hey, yo, he was part of that Civilis Extract. He bumped into both. First Sergeant Coffee Coleman.

Like some of these suck. Oh, coffee. Yeah, I think coffee's kind of cool. All right, one was Bag of Bones. What else we got? That's crazy. Mark's grandma was part of the team. Stop.

Stop doing that. Can we edit that out? Nah, she was in World War II, dude. She was battling the Bulge. I have family that are war heroes, I think in World War II, by the way. You know the guy that puts the flag up at Iwo Jima? That guy fucked your grandma?

No! His last name is Kenyil. No way. I thought he put that thing in your grandma first. But wait, do you mean the fake time? Oh, shit. No, the real one. The real one, bro.

Nah, they didn't fake it. There's a whole movie about them faking it. You're gonna believe every movie, bro. Come on. Alright guys, let's take a break for a second, because y'all need to know how we're doing with our gambling. And by gambling, I mean cryptocurrency. Now, we are doing it with Kraken, which I think Forbes said was the number one. Was it the number one that Forbes said?

Number one? Yeah, security-wise, that's their focus. And that's, this is why- That's what you want with this shit. We're just picking random letters that mean nothing. It's not like they give you more money. Yeah, we just need to make sure the money's gonna be there. Well, I can tell you personally,

having put money in two exchanges that folded, there's no FDIC. Like if your bank closes, your money's insured up to 100,000, they don't have that with crypto. So I'm asked out. But if I just put my money in Kraken from the beginning, I'd have been Kraken.

So we all put some money in Kraken from the beginning. Listen, I don't wanna talk about, I'll tell you where I put my money, but I am not, remember, remember, Coffeezilla, our boy, we love you, and we would never go against you. I don't even feel comfortable saying where I put my money in.

I tell you, because I'm down. It seems like I'm endorsing it. Yeah, I don't. So I'm not even gonna say, but we did it on some of them and they're all there at cracking. Yeah, hell yeah. You know what I mean? And if you want to do it, you should do it at cracking. Let me tell you why. Because they're still around. But how did you pick? Can you tell how like your rationale for picking? Favorite letters. Favorite letters. Also memes. I got some memes going. One sounded like it had a very, it had like a vibrancy to it.

You know, it was like. Whichever icons look the coolest. Icons, you can go off icons. That's the beauty of crypto, is that there's no intelligence required. Yeah. Because you're just guessing letters that mean nothing. So.

Al's four is insane. Yeah. He's on it, they got dope icons. Oh yeah, what degen did you talk to? Like this is like proper. No, He's on it. That guy dope. I got him. What degen did you talk to? Like this is like proper. No, Al's trying to be rich. I'm a guru, bro.

Al's really trying to be rich. Yeah. Who's up the most? Mark? Yeah, Mark. How about me? You're up a little bit. Four sixty-five.

Because I let fucking a woman choose my shit. Fucking Tanya. You have 75% on the retirement rate. Tanya chose IDF coin. She put everything inside. I'm down big, baby. I don't know these alt coins, dude. Wait, so what's the ranking?

Who's in last place? How the fuck Mark get up so much? Go down, Mark. Not me, I'm last. God damn, dude. Mark, go down. I wanna see how you got up so much. Oh, you really diversified.

Damn, you ain't even buy not one of your man's coin. That's crazy. Where's my man? He has a friend. I know you can't get it on cracking yet. Oh, that's bad. That's where it's wrong. I'm not.

Coffee, I do not support anything he's doing. He's on some fuck shit right now. I don't support anything he's doing. You heard one crack, you heard a suspender crack. Uh-uh, we're not doing it. It's not legal on cracking yet. I don't want nothing to do with those coins. I like cracking coins.

Cracking coins seem to be legit and cracking hasn't gone anywhere. And Ford says number one. I trust it. I put my money there in the beginning. All right. So that's all we're going to say about that. All up even more.

A hundred more dollars. I'm down even more. You guys suck at picking fake letters. Go to... This is the worst of picking fake letters. 100 more dollars. I'm down even more. You guys suck at picking fake letters. Let's say they're the worst at picking fake letters. Go to kraken.com slash flagrant or just scan the QR code on the screen. Start your crypto journey today.

That shit is so fire, dude. Can we talk about Wicked for one single moment? Yeah, that shit was so fire. You're gonna be popular. You're gonna be good at sports. And do-da-do, do-da-da-da-da-da. Fell asleep 15 minutes in. Can I tell you something?

Yo, that's a long one. The first hour is trash. Okay, that's why. Horrible. I'm sitting there with my wife. I'm sitting there with her gay bestie. And I'm sitting there with one other friend of hers. Horrible for the first hour, I'm like,

what the fuck I get myself roped into? They do the scene where like, what's her name? Ariana Grande's like finally ends up like trying to not be a shitty friend to this girl and actually protecting her and feeling bad that she was, you know, kind of pranking her. I didn't stop crying for next week. I didn't stop crying for next week. Really?

I didn't stop crying for next week. All right, I'll give it another chance. Ariana Grande's and this girl, Cynthia Erivo, are absolutely, and I went in there going, this is gonna be, that's why I'm not watching this dumbass shit, they are sensational. I'm doing, Ariana Grande? Impress the fuck out of me.

I expected the other girl to be absolutely phenomenal because she's like a trained Broadway actress. Like she's, she's, you know, probably one of the best. If you even, if you're a Broadway actress and you get this opportunity. So and she blew me away. Yeah. But this Ariana Grande, my expectation was lower because I'm like, okay, she's a very talented singer and like pop girl, but can she pull off the comedy?

Yeah. Her whole role was funny. And she murders it. Kills it. Okay. Murders it. And the both of them together, like bro, I... Fantastic.

I couldn't believe it. It was, I cried for two hours. Two hours straight. That's so many tears. That's so many tears. That's a long ass movie. It is too long. I know it's two, three hours and it's only part one. That's so many tears. That's a long ass movie. It is too long. I know it's two, three hours.

And it's only part one. I said, God damn. That is too long. It's 20 minutes too long. God damn. Ariana, so she's like, I've seen little clips. She's like dreamed of this role. And she dreamed of the other role actually.

Oh, she dreamed of being in this play. She wanted to play Elphaba. Yeah. And then she ends up playing Glynn. But like she was so excited to be a part of it. I guess she probably I think she's like a theater kid at the end of the day. They all like starting on Broadway. So she was like this is the dream play to be in. Like she would get emotional talking about it before the Wicked movie was even

announced. Like the idea of playing. And she you root for people to do well in those roles. But a lot of times they kind of kind of just do it She also fucking knocks it out director dude the guy fire chit-choo or something like it john choo. Right he Uh, I think he directed parasite. I think he directed the uh, I didn't know he also did the uh, what's it called? The uh, the thing that um, Did mr. Beast copy what was it called squid games? Wait, no, but no, that's another Wait another guy. Oh, that's true. He directed crazy He did GI Joe

Yeah, he also did that He's good, but no he just happens to be No, no, I'm pretty sure he's the same guy. So he's a tech window professor. No, but in all seriousness, he, the guy that directed, I thought this is something that I thought he did really well. This is based on a play. Yeah. Or like a musical. Yeah. He shoots it and there's a lot of like dancing choreography that feel like a musical. But it's clearly a film. Yeah. Right. I don't know if I'm describing this right. He could shoot it just as a film and there is no musical aspect where like

the whole town kind of jumps into dance and story and they all kind of connect together. Do you understand? Like you could just take the narrative seriously and run with that. But he incorporates what you would imagine the play is, I thought very well, without it being too forced. So I thought that that was a really, and like kind of cool camera stuff. Like he almost feels like everything is on a drone.

Did you watch it? Oh yeah. The cameras are, I need to like see the rigging for it because the cameras are moving through the world and moving through all the people dancing. So I don't know if they're on a train track set type of thing. Or if it's from the ceiling. It could be a cable cam, it could be that, it could be an FPV drone.

It's cool. He did In The Heights. Oh, so he's used to doing this. He came from... After Step Up, he did, after Step Up, he did like Bieber's Never Say Never, his big music doc. I think he directed Ronnie Chang's special. I think he did Ali Wong's special also. Oh, wow.

I don't see that at all. He did Ali Wong's special. There's a Hello Kitty campaign. He did do Ken Jeong's You Complete Me, ho. He did that. He did that one. That is true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he also did Thai Cave Rescue as an executive producer. Everybody has to start somewhere. We gotta start somewhere, man. That is actually true. Wow. I think also, though, we didn't understand how big this play was when it came out. God damn. People were into this. I watched it like a year ago. I went in with super low expectations. You watched it live? I watched the Broadway play. It was like a date night. Yeah. Yeah

And let me tell you something. The play is fine. The play is fantastic. You've seen the play. Hell yes I've seen it twice. That shit is incredible! I'm so glad you came! That shit is incredible! I didn't think it was going to be wack. I'm doing this for my wife. And I was like, this is the best. It's incredible. It's a musical.

I saw Hamilton. I saw Book of Mormon. I saw Wicked. I had the lowest expectations for Wicked, but I thought it was the's a musical. Yeah. Alright, go on, go on, go on. I saw Hamilton, I saw Book of Mormon, I saw Wicked. I had the lowest expectations for Wicked, but I thought it was the best one of the three. Those are the three plays I've seen. Nah, Hamilton is better, but... Do you guys want to say what the storyline is? It's kind of like they created a prequel to The Wizard of Oz,

and it's about how the witch becomes the Wicked Witch or whatever. And they basically, I'm curious how they got the rights to this. Apparently there was a lot of fan fiction written about this but then someone wrote a book. But like this completely changes The Wizard of Oz. So if I'm the person who wrote The Wizard of Oz, I'm not gonna let a motherfucker write another movie

that is before that completely changes the entire meaning of my life's greatest work. Rewrite the Bible and you're like, Satan's misunderstood. They wrote a sequel to the Bible. That shit goes way harder. Sequel exists based on the information that you laid down. Yeah. The book is public domain. That's why, because it was so many. It was like 100 years ago or whatever. In 1900. And then Gregory McGuire wrote the book Wicked. And then he made it to the book.

So we could do our own fan fiction of the book. We could make another version of Wicked. Oh, Wicked. Sort of. Wait, what do you mean? It's not public domain. Fuck. No, no, no. We could do a prequel. Another Wizard of Oz. Yeah. Another prequel. But instead of Wicked, it's just a little different. It's about Mark's grandma. It's called public domain. Fuck. No, no, no. We could do a prequel. Another Wizard of Oz. Yeah. Another prequel, but instead of Wicked, it's just a little different.

It's about Marge's grandma who's called Dickie. She was just misunderstood. I'm on the misunderstood. She was a war. Exactly. She's not riding a broomstick in this one. All right. So that was Fire. I have to give it another... I saw Gladiator 2 one. Alright, so that was fire. I have to give it another...

I saw Gladiator 2. Oh, you saw that? I saw Wicked twice. What? My wife wanted to go a second time, my nephews wanted to go. That's crazy. Six hours of Wicked? It was so fire.

Six hours of Wicked. I didn't want to go. Second time I saw it, I was like, is this still good? Wow. Yeah. Twice the play, twice the movie. No, it wants to play. Yeah.

Wow. Okay. Between us. Yeah, I know. Have you seen The Wiz? No, I haven't. Oh, that's... Come on, bro.

That's the Tuskegee Airman. Wizard of Oz. Dude, we gotta do a prequel to The Wiz. Let's do the Wicked of the Wiz, dude. Oh! The Wicked. That would be fire. What is the Wiz? Is it different than Wizard of Oz or is it just Black Wizard of Oz? Black Wizard of Oz. Black Wizard of Oz. Respect. Yeah.

I know that we mentioned earlier, but I just want to say thank you so much everybody came problem call 1-866-531-2600 visit connectsontario.ca I know that we mentioned earlier but I just want to say thank you so much everybody came out this past weekend for the special taping. Thank you so much everybody who worked on this special not only just this weekend but like developing putting this show together like making my kind of vision and dreams come true, and that is Dove, that is Mark, that is Cheryl and Rob, that is Vala,

beautiful videos he put together, Shifty, I just thank you guys, and the million, my wife, and my daughter, and who play the integral roles in it, if you guys have seen the life tour, you know. So yeah, I just wanna say thank you guys so much, and it was just an awesome experience to see all those people out there, man. Say again. Derrick Poston. Oh, Der I just want to say thank you guys so much. And it was just an awesome experience to see all those people out there, man.

Say again. Postito. Oh, Derrick Poston, of course, oh my God. But so yeah, and tons of other people I'm just not even thinking about right now. So thank you guys so much for being there. And it was really cool, especially with everything that happened with the venue

and like the city just still coming out and supporting me on Thanksgiving weekend. And that just felt great. And yeah, it just felt really cool. Now is the hard part, now we've got to get into the edit, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, and just filming a special is just so interesting, like of this size. We've only done things that we've done ourselves before, and this is the first time where we're

like, okay, we're stepping it up. So in order to step it up, you have to hire companies. Why do you have to hire companies? Because there's all this minutia that we don't worry about when we're filming a show together. We're throwing up some cameras, we're like all right we're going to go and edit together. When you're doing something of this size it's like okay we need to make sure we have releases for everybody that could be on camera. We need to make sure that we have the union signatory signed off and the scheduling and timesheet. So you basically you're hiring out these different

companies. I thought an interesting thing that happens when you're filming it is you have to be super diligent about what you want and your vision, because each department that is working on it, the interests aren't exactly aligned. Obviously everybody wants there to be a great special, right? And we have like, for example, we have the best audio guy in the business, Thomas Caseta, is the best audio guy in the business, hands down, it's not even close. And Thomas is telling me certain things that will protect his audio. For me, he wants me to have the cleanest audio.

He's like, if we mic you too much, then you could be higher mics than the crowd and we want to make sure that that mix sounds good, but if we mic me too little, then I won't have enough control of the crowd, you know? So he's trying to protect the best version of his audio. Thank God we have someone who understands what we want as well. But I can imagine someone who doesn't know stand up and was just recording a special is going, oh no, we gotta keep the mic down because it's gonna fuck up my audio. Not realizing what the crowd needs.

The crowd needs you to fucking hit them in the chest. Same with video. Video wants it to look beautiful. One thing I think that a lot of times people make mistakes in a special, they'll do what's called a line cut. I don't know if this makes any sense, but essentially they're doing a live edit of the special. Trying to edit stand-up live is like catching a fart

with chopsticks. It's not even possible. Because you would have to be so fluent in the comedian's material and timing in order to build tension, build tension, then release it. With comedy, it's not like music where you can just cut through a bunch of different angles and make it look epic.

When you do that, you distract. It's kind of like horror where you gotta like build, push in, push in, build, build, and punchline release. If you don't know exactly when I'm gonna release, you're fucked. So it's like, but in their mind, they're like, okay, let me make this shot look really cool. Let me make it look so beautiful so I can offer value to this project.

Everybody wants to offer value, but sometimes they're offering value. Isn't what's going to be best for the project. So you need to go in. Thank God I have the fucking ride or die best team on a fucking planet who are like, this is what we need and we need you guys to understand. This is what's going to make the project the best. And just articulating that and really fucking dialing it in. It's just an interesting thing I think that like,

especially comedians if they're listening to, should be really, you should be really connected to your project. Don't just go out there and film it and think it's gonna be okay. Cause it won't. Because most people don't understand stand up. Even if they've done specials,

they just don't understand what makes it good. And I think you get into these situations where you're with these people who have done tons of specials, and at first there's like a little bit of, you're a little deferential to them. And then we had kind of had a moment where just like, hold on, hold on.

Yeah, we posted things on YouTube and Instagram, but we sold out Madison Square Garden twice selling, we posted things on YouTube and Instagram, but we sold out Madison Square Garden twice, selling, posting things on YouTube and Instagram. We clearly know what we're doing. I don't know if there's anybody else who sold out the garden without having a network special. So it's like, I'm not gonna belittle what we did because the platform was YouTube.

Clearly we know what we're doing. And it was cool to have that team together where we're like, this is what we want. We're all down. All right, guys, I know you think you guys know what you want. This is what we need. Trust us. Yeah. And it was even cool to go from Friday to Saturday. Like we made our adjustments from Friday to Saturday and just to see it become our show. By Saturday. I even saw it different too. You just introduce so many other creatives. You know what I mean?

Like in Stuart's shows on the road, it's just like you are the single creative vision if you're a comic doing that. But then as soon as you're filming, it's like, okay, we're introducing like wardrobe creative and that might be different than how it normally is. And then the visual creative, the sound creative, there's tons of other creative that get brought in

and they are all fighting for their personal agenda to be fulfilled. And they're all also talented in their own right and successful. And I like to look at them thinking altruistically, they want it to be the best, and they trust their talent to make it the best. So it's managing that, hey, I know that you think that this is what's best for it, we think this is what's best for it. We think this is what's best for it.

And let me die on my sword. Because there's one thing I cannot live with. It's your decision being wrong. Yeah. I can live with mine. Yeah. You know what I mean? But I'm not going to live with yours when I told you I want something else.

Yeah. You know? And I just thought it was so fine. Like there's this great moment, like Friday, and even going into Saturday, we're just like, our internal team, like our fucking people, everybody was just on the same page. It was just like, this is what needs to be done.

And you were there Friday and you were there Saturday. And I saw the difference. And it was like, everybody just stepped up. Voices got loud, everybody got stern. And I think everybody started to realize like, oh, these aren't like a ragtag group, like they know what the fuck they want. And yeah, I felt really grateful.

I'll stop talking about it, but I felt very grateful to have all you guys there to back up that vision. And it gave me a lot of confidence. And yeah, I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much. You've empowered your team throughout, you know. I trust you guys implicitly. I was just like, I was like, yo, Shifty, Mark, get what you need. And then they got what they needed, bro. It was just... All of it looked beautiful, but we, you know, confirming what you're saying, but no, it was exciting.

It looked great. A shit ton of cameras, that is gonna be a fun edit. Bro, bro. You know what's so funny? I went to the video village, I was like, yeah, oh yeah, I was like, there's so many. Command Center in NASA. Yeah.

And you know what's interesting is they have these things called RoboCams, right? I saw the flyer. So this is fascinating. Robocams like automatic cameras, we've seen them on the road in certain venues. They just kind of like look and move like a security cam footage. This was the newest version of these Robocams. We only had two up. I don't know if I'm ever going to film a special. They're a little cylinder.

They could be anywhere in the room and you don't even notice what they are. But the movement now digitally, it's like it is the push ins are better than somebody racking focus pushing it. The movement on them, and now you don't have 14 different people, not only do they move, not only do they move up and down, like they're moving on different axes, only taking up a fraction of the space. Guess what, one on the side of the stage

is going up and down, just like, ooh. You see the movement for those? Like you said, three axes at the same time just like. What is it called, the acronym is like P something TK? P, yeah, PTZ. PTZ. PTZ. Yeah, and not just like the high end version of it.

It was funny like. I was looking at it for the studio and I was like, oof, those are the price. Because you don't even have to be in the room to price it out for editing them. Expensive. No, they're really expensive, but prices will come down, that eventually happens.

But like a perfect example is like, I told them, this is my note always when we're gonna do a live show. I even tell Shifty, I go, nobody should see a camera. If people see a camera, they get nervous, they're afraid to just react, they're just thinking about themselves. And the best comedy show is people get to leave themselves. And the first show, all of a sudden I'm up there

and there's this camera almost called a gimbal, meaning it basically, you guys know this, but I'm just describing to people at home, like it balances the camera perfectly so someone could walk with it. So it's not holding it on a shoulder, it's this mechanism that perfectly balances it. He starts walking down the aisle.

I think he's gonna get one shot and then leave. He's walking down the aisle for like 15 minutes. I just stop the show. And I go, you need to get the fuck out of here. That shit was so fine. But then you went right back into it and got a laugh immediately. That was fun. To have the crowd on a yo-yo like that is fucking woo.

I mean, yo, shout out to the crowd. But also, it's like, to me, I'm going, you're making me feel fake. If I don't acknowledge that camera, it's like a girl with huge tits walking down the aisle. I can't not say something about that. Right, you gotta go. Right, you get up here immediately.

Yeah, you stay exactly where you are. But so it's just one of those things where it's like, and this is, like, the video team was pitching me all these cameras that would, like, come backstage and point out backstage. I go, guys, the second the audience sees a camera stick out backstage, they're gonna be petrified. Now, would it look cool? Sure.

Has anything been funnier because it looked cool in the history of comedy? No, you know what's funny? Chris Rock's bigger and blacker when the cameras are literally shaking because they're on sticks and the ground is moving. Like that to me, the grittiness of that is just beautiful. I go, guys, I don't want anybody to see a camera.

To capture the fucking show. Make them believe it's just a regular show. You know, and... I think that is, like, the number one most important thing. The most important thing you can do is make it look like this is just a regular show. Honestly, I wouldn't have even announced Netflix taping if we didn't have all the issues with the venue

and all that other stuff. I would just be like, hey, here's some shows, come on out. But because you want to capture that kind of authenticity. And I hate being a fake on stage. And having cameras walk in and me not see them or something popping behind me makes me feel like I'm fake to you. Because you know that you see it. I know I see it, but we're both pretending it's not there.

So yeah, just cool things to learn. Maybe if anybody's watching that's into comedy or producing comedy, they could take something from it. Yeah, that's fire. I'm sorry I couldn't be there. Stop, stop. You keep apologizing, bro. Come on. Dude, I asked my mom, who loves you, by the way. She reached out, by the way, and she said congratulations.

She loves you like a son. I told her I love her. I said, I can leave a day early. Andrew's taping a special, and then she goes, stay an extra day, I don't spend enough time with you. And I was like, well I told her I love her. I said, I can leave a day early. Andrew's taping a special and then she goes, stay an extra day, I don't spend enough time with you. And I was like, all right, well, fuck, I'm here. I'm here. But I saw it at MSG.

It was, and you know, I'm a huge, anybody, everybody knows I'm a huge fan of you. It was your best work by a mile. And that is like, it was awesome. It was so fucking awesome. And I heard it's gotten even better and I'm so excited to see it. And obviously the team, you guys all fucking kill it. I'm so excited to see it

I'm excited for people. Do you know when people can see it or do you even want to float that? Are we keeping that we have a date that we're we're kind of locking in but I want to you know, get Yeah, don't announce nothing Fucking worst thing you can do Yeah, uh black history month No, but uh, but yeah, yeah, I, but yeah, I think it will be really fun. I'm just very grateful for the team. Very grateful to everybody who came out.

And there's this feeling that there are people there who have probably been at my first fucking show I did at Gotham. Crazy. Yeah. They were at that. And there's a feeling like so much in comedy, the beginning years, are you winning over people who are skeptical of you. You're doing a bar show and they're like,

how did I even end up here? And this is people going, hey, I've been fucking with you for 10 years, I want you to fucking rock this tonight. And that is an awesome feeling that I hope all of you guys get and other comics get too. That is pretty cool. Yeah, that's far.

Anyway, thank you so much. Thanksgiving. Tell me. Oh, I have best Thanksgiving I've had in decades. My wife and I went home and it was going to be a little comfortable because, you know, I haven't really talked to my dad in like nine months. Wow. Yeah, I talked to my mom about that. My wife is like, just the whole vibe is different. You've been so happy recently. You've been sleeping better. Dude. Hilarious. I mean, you never sold more tickets. Never.

Life has been fucking good. It's really unbelievable. So I tell my mom, I voice these concerns, and my mom goes to my dad, apparently, and goes, all right, here's the options. You either apologize to your sons for everything you've done or you're not here for Thanksgiving. Oh, shit.

Your mom is a respect. My dad bought a ticket to India. No way. No way. I ain't even there. It was awesome. We had such a happy time, dude. My mom moved into a new house.

I'm blessed enough, thank you God, to be able to take care of the mortgage on her She took care of a big down payment, but like but she's like built this house with us in mind She's like I want you guys to come here whenever she got to do Thanksgiving at her at the new house Well, we go somewhere else for Thanksgiving every year But like we were there and her been her house that she you know We lost she lost her house like 20 years ago or whatever So this is like she's a home finally. And the upstairs is just the most like,

this is for my kids and whatever if you guys come visit. We stayed downstairs the whole time. We're having so much fun. My mom can't really walk upstairs. We didn't leave. We're like, this is the best vibe in the world. This is awesome. Did you guys stay with her?

Or did you guys? Yeah, we stayed with her. Yeah, we slept in the rooms. How was everything with your mom and Jessaline? Oh, they're great, dude. They're great. Everybody's getting along well. My mom was so thankful. She even like, she said some crazy shit to my wife

before she apologized to him and was like, I'm like a sincere, I understand what I did. And that was like, I was out of line. I'm never gonna do that thing again. It was like a really, it was the best Thanksgiving I've ever had in my life, dude. It was awesome. Real addition by subtraction kind of thing.

You know what I mean? It sounds phenomenal. It was awesome. I was so sad to leave. And my mom is still fucking crying about it. I gotta go home more. I gotta spend like weeks there or something. But yeah.

How can you do that? How can you build that in? Yeah, I think if we have a week where we're not doing the pod, just fly home. And then if I got work to do, whatever, I just do it remotely. Like any standup work, I'll fly out to the show from there or whatever.

But yeah, we just gotta figure this out. And my wife is more on board now. She's like, yeah, it's better. Just, you know, if we just get them a hotel or something, we're good. You know, it was a night and day difference. I can't even explain. That is so stupid. Bro, shut out your mom. Yeah, no, that's not real.

You're setting on fucking. That is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fire. Do you think she was surprised by him being like, well, I'm going to go. No. Oh, she wasn't. None of us were surprised. I just laughed when I pulled back

and I was like, that's so funny. Cause he was gone, he's gone for like a month and I was like, wow, that's a long time to go. Yeah, an apology is free. A month in India is probably a couple thousand dollars. And normally I'm paying for the ticket. This time I'm not paying for a fucking ticket. But he was like, I got it.

You're paying for it. You're paying for it. Yeah, true. You're getting there. True, very money's coming back. All right, so it was good time. Yeah, true, true. The money's coming back. All right, so it was a good time. Oh, it was awesome, dude. It was the best. I was so happy. Like, truly.

The best week home in a long time. That makes me happy. Okay, Mark. That was wild. I mean, special stuff was awesome. And then just like first things even with the little baby. Yeah, so what did you guys do? What was your Thanksgiving?

We just snowed up with the baby. Literally, it was just like rainy outside. And I just like took him for a walk, at least he made some turkey. Are you talking about your son or are you talking about Miles? Both actually. Miles came over. I'm the first one. Yeah, they both came.

Me and Miles go for so many walks now, cause I take a little baby for walks. So I'm like, I just went like, hey, I'm going to go out for two hours. I just call Miles and we just go for a little baby walk. Wait, does he also use your baby to pick up chicks? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did that with my dog.

Yeah, exactly. Miles, who was that girl that you brought to the special taping? Just a friend. Oh, the one you left early with? Yeah, just a friend. Oh, he left from the party kind of early. Yeah, he did leave kind of early. Thanksgiving was fucking lit.

It was the highlight of the Thanksgiving party time. I was like, Miles, why you leave it so soon? I'm so thankful that my best friend lives down the street and I'm over it. I got to cook a little bit. Are you sure this girl or? Hmm? Anybody have a picture of this girl?

I think we snapped some photos, yeah. Oh yeah. I would love to see. Yeah, we'll get it out. So you're just a friend? Have you guys made out? In the past. Yeah, in the past.

But now you don't? He's named Pasta. That's not good. Wait, wait, now you don't make out anymore? No. Why is that, you think? We just don't. We sort of made the decision not to.

Whose fault do you think it was? My. Wait, now you don't make out anymore? No. Why is that, you think? We just don't. We sort of made the decision not to. Whose fault do you think it was? Mine. Hey, let me help you out. Yo, Dub, I saw you with two chicks too. I saw you with the fucking tens out there.

I saw you doing like, what's it called, juggling. I tried, I tried, I tried. Hey, I tried. You're a good friend. I know, I tried. Wow. But yeah, you did have some. I thought it was a hard word, juggling. I didn't do that. Bro, it was so funny.

Every person would come by and be like, Yo, Myles, who the fuck is that over there? Who, wait, who, wait, huh? What was happening? What was happening? What did you do? It was so funny. Every person would come by and be like, yo, Miles, who the fuck is that over there? I was like, who, who, who, huh, huh? What was happening? What was happening? What'd you get? It was two of them, dude.

They were both in my row. He was like going to speak to one and then he had to go around and speak to the other. Kept the head on. Kept the head on. Can I tell you guys a funny ass story? Oh, you fucking sisters? God damn.

You're a really bad guy. That's crazy. That's fine. Can I tell you guys a funny Derek Posen story? So Derek Posen, shout out Derek. We love Derek, motherfucking goat. Derek is, Derek, we're at the special, right? And Matt Damon came to the special. I know that sounds like I'm doing a bragging

or whatever like that. But yes, and so he came to the special. Now, Derek is the biggest movie buff fan. He's not even a movie fan, he's like a movie aficionado. In the way that people like cars, in the way that people love wine, he loves film. He is entrenched in it, he loves it. And after the show, I was like, let's go down, you know, you can say hi to Matt or whatever like that. And after the show, I was like,

hey, let's go down, you know, you can say hi to Matt or whatever like that, right? They're in a room, we go in, and Derek walks in the room and then stands next to Matt, right? And then out of nowhere, paparazzi flashes start going. They are fucking blasting. I mean, like, Matt's like dazed, Like, he's just, he has no clue. He's going to do the boom, boom.

And in every picture, Derek's just like, ah, ah, ah. He's got his hand on his shoulder, laughing and chomping it up. Go to Derek's Instagram right now. For uploader. The funniest post ever. I had to tell the photographer,

I go, okay, guys, I think we got it. Afterward, Derek goes, and he goes, he goes, okay, guys, I think we got it. Afterward, Derek goes, and he goes, he goes, Sheldon, I'm sorry, man. I had to get a pic with the Martian. I'm trying to look at the camera. Look at it, look, look, look. Oh, that's fire, though.

Oh, no, no. And he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, yo, in case you guys didn't see the first four, I'm changing the dickheads. The caption is so funny. It's brilliant. Go to the caption. Go to the caption. Me, Andrew Schultz, Matt Damon. Two, me, Schultzy, and the Martian. Three, me and Good Will Hunting.

Like, he just keeps naming them. Me, Hezzy, and we bought a zoo. Nah, it was just so cool. We bought a zoo. It was funny. It was just so, yo, Matt's funny. I was what Derek tell the story, but like before the show starts, either Dove or Derek goes up to Matt and they go, Hey man, you want to do a few minutes? And Matt goes, no, no, no, I'm good.

You said it. No, no, no, I'm good. And then Matt goes to Derek, is you going up? And Derek goes, yeah. He goes, I will. And Matt goes, I will be silently judging you. And then just walks away. He was so cool.

Derek's hero. He said, Derek gotta go open a special. What, was he serious? What the fuck's going on? That's funny. No, he was dope. That was great. It was very cool.

And thank you, a lot of people came out, showed love, man, just all the family, all the boys. Yeah, it was really great. Great, great weekends, man, great weekends. How was your first Thanksgiving with Shiloh? And because it's also the day before you film your special. Yeah, so that was the thing, it was like the day before the film was special,

and you know, you're on baby duty. Yeah, yeah. Like this is the greatest thing, is like. So Thanksgiving, Shiloh starts teething. Oh wow. I don't know if you've experienced teething with a baby. It was like a really difficult thing. They remember experience this pain

and this consistent pain for a while. So they just don't really know what's going on. They're like a little cranky, eating is hard, sleeping is hard, everything's just difficult. And we went and we had Thanksgiving at this restaurant, Teresee, and it was just amazing. And we didn't wanna do it in the house because I'll be honest, I was like,

it's gonna be a whole day long thing and I might need to prep and I don't wanna leave you alone. Like it was just, so let's just go to a restaurant. And it was awesome, it was great. We came back and Shal starts crying. And we put her down, she wakes back up, starts crying. Put her down, wakes back up, starts crying. And we put her down, she wakes back up, starts crying. Put her down, wakes back up, starts crying. And it's like 11, starts crying, 12.

And Emma is a trooper, she's in there, she's locked in, she's trying to, at like maybe 12 or one or something, she comes in and she goes, hey, she just, what do you think we should do? She's not telling me to do anything, she knows it's the big day tomorrow. I'm like, all right, let me see if I could just get her down.

She's like, no, no, no, I know that you gotta do your thing. I was like, let me see if I can get her down. And I go in there and I start trying to, every time she's crying so much that she starts to hyperventilate a little bit. So even when she gets ready to go to sleep, she'll be about to pass out and then just go, because she's still catching her breath, right?

And it was one of these moments where it was like a really cool reminder where it's like, they don't care about any of that stuff. Your special doesn't matter, what you Yeah. Your special doesn't matter. What you do in your career doesn't matter. That's not important to them at all. The only thing that matters is you're there for them. And it was like a cool moment,

like a cool dad moment where it was like, am I really gonna go do this special about how much I wanna have a baby and all the trials and tribulations that it took for us to get this baby and then abandon my baby the night before. I make things bigger than they actually are. My kid's teething and this just happened to be

the night before the special. But in my head I was like, this is one of those moments where you decide what's more important. Is it more important that I get a little more sleep so that I'm rested or is it more important that I'm there for the baby? And so I just gave Emma the baby. No, no, so I fucking got her down

and it was like, and she woke up a few hours later and Emma took care of it. But it was a cool reminder that none of this stuff matters to them and we gotta be aware of that 100%. That they're the most important thing and everything else is no longer priority, no matter how fucking big it is.

And I'm grateful that that even presented itself on a night of that importance and I made what I think was the right decision, which is fucking lock-in. That's beautiful. Yeah, it was cool. Shouts to Shelton. I got a little funny story from Thanksgiving.

So Thanksgiving I did with my dad and then So Thanksgiving, I did it with my dad. And then on the weekend, I did it with my mom. But on Thursday, so I go to my dad's place, you know, catching him up on the air, just like, hey, you know, studios are going well, all this stuff. He's super proud of me. And I'm like, let me get the good stuff out now. And so I come, I show him the Cybertruck. He's like blown away.

He's like, this is from the future. All this good stuff. And then I sit him down as I'm looking at Obama here and Martin Luther King picture here. And then I'm like, dad, I did an episode with Trump. Right, he almost kicked me out of Thanksgiving. No way. He was pissed?

No, he was like laughing about it, but yeah. He wasn't that. That's so funny. It was really funny. Really funny. I knew I had to get the good stuff out first. But that's funny, you guys are, you guys, your relationship is good and building. No, we are good, it's just like,

I be busy, he be busy, but we're good. We all are. But he pardoned you. Yeah, he pardoned me. He did. Did he have any questions about it? Was, yeah, he was just like, how is he in person? And I'm like, you know, he's how you used to think

about him years ago. Interesting. Just that guy. He's a New Yorker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It must be crazy for parents to see these things. Yeah. Like to see us sit down with a present.

Yeah, he was like, what? I'm like, I'm trying to wrap my head around that. One of my cousins goes, that was real? I was like, you think I made that up? I'm not even a fucking loser. Do you think I am? But that is, you want your kid to do well, you want your kid to succeed.

You have all these hopes, you want them to have friends. You have all these things. And then they interview the president of the United States of America. There's gotta be a little moment of extreme pride, regardless of the politics. You're like, whoa, I made that thing. And they're talking to the president,

driving a fucking future car. Yeah. Oh, that's wild. Yeah, it was cool. Yeah, I'm even thinking about that with my kid. I'm thinking about the fact that he's gonna do things in life, like, blows my mind. Like, it's like hard to like wrap my head, like, he's gonna have a job. Because you just see him as such a baby right now.

Yeah, it's like, you're gonna do stuff, like, you're gonna, like, impress me. It's just like, it's hard to like, because like, he's already doing it on little scale, but like, as I get that adult human, he's gonna do stuff, which is crazy. Do you ever think about, like, when they'll know how much you love them? No. I always think about, like, I don't know when I know how much you love them? No. I always think about, like, I don't know when I realized how much my parents loved me, how old that was. I never was like, they don't. I mean, my mom a couple of times.

But like, as an adult, I go, what? Jamil said something to me. He was like, did you never notice that your dad was the only guy that came to our basketball games? And I was so used to him showing up. You don't notice it till you're out of it. You know what I mean? Like a fish doesn't notice water.

You're just surrounded by it. And when you see other parents that don't do it for their kids or whatever, you see your friends and you're like, oh, that's different. I didn't know that existed. But that was a thought I had. I was like, I hope you never notice it.

Like, I hope you just think this is what it is. It's funny, the better you are at your job, the less they're going to notice. Exactly. Yeah. It's like the more consistent you are, the less you notice. Especially for dads. For moms, I think you know.

Like everybody talks about moms all the time. For dads, it's almost like your job is supposed to be thankless. You're not supposed to get any credit. That's the sacrifice you make. Yeah. Yeah, it's, oh yeah, I don't know.

The whole Kevin Kidd thing is just awesome. It's like, it's awesome to see her, like she'll like fall or hurt or something like that, and then like just reach for her mom. And it's, I think it's nice for Emma to see, because it's so often she does all this, she breastfeed the baby, she's up with it, and then I come in and the baby's just like,

you're funny, let's party. And I think there's a part of Emma that's like, what, how the fuck she loved, she's saying dada and all this other stuff, but when she hurts herself, it's like, where's that woman that always makes me feel good? Yeah, there's all these tiny little rewarding things. Yeah. No, I think it's awesome.

I think it's awesome. And I think it's even just that story of right before the special, sacrificing for your kids. I think it's just a good reminder. I think sacrificing is fundamental. I think suffering's just like a good reminder. I think sacrificing is like fundamental. Like I think like suffering for like things you love I think is like intrinsic to loving them. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I think it's harder to love things without suffering for them. Like I think we so often get caught up in this idea of like we need to mitigate suffering at all costs. I think it kind of needs to be like embraced for the things you really love.

I was talking about someone else who kind of struggled to get their wife pregnant as well, similar situation as me and Emma, and they were still in the process. And I go, there's a weird positive that comes out from this. And it's like a lot of people did get their wife pregnant without even knowing. It's like this baby has been thrust upon them and they have to like organize their life and they're like, fuck, are we ready? There's all this baby has been thrust upon them and they have to like organize their life and they're like fuck are we ready? there's all this like concern and insecurity and

When you have a little struggle as you're saying to get there when you're finally met with the idea that that baby is gonna come There's fear of you fucking it up or something going wrong, but there's not fear of it happening because you've already come to grips with this idea of it not. So you're so grateful. You're so excited. It's a different energy that you you approach it with. Yeah. And yeah, yeah, I was. Yeah, it's just really cool.

And yeah, I agree with you, Mark. It should be hard. The things that are worth it are hard. Yeah. When are they easy? I think it's like a biological mechanism. What do you mean? Like, I think it's like built into like human development,

like by suffering, like you end up growing closer with things, like. It's like the army, I imagine, like all these guys. Yeah, like the football team. Suffering together draws people closer together and like your child is in pain and then you're nurturing them and you're exhausted and you have huge commitments the next day

and you're also suffering. And I think it's like a bonding mechanism. Yeah. Like through that mutual pain, like you guys get closer. I mean, I'm sure that's like the hazing thing with fraternities a little bit, right? Yeah. Like induce this kind of fake suffering

so these people bond together and really feel like they're part of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I think it's good. I don't know, I'm like, to reduce this kind of fake suffering so these people bond together and really feel like they're part of. But I think it's good. I don't know, I'm like, I try to be grateful for like the moments of suffering like that. Like it sounds masochistic, but I think it's like core. It's a good perspective to have.

You don't resent it as much. Yeah. Miles, did you have a good Thanksgiving? I had a great Thanksgiving. Any funny stories? No, I got to make food, which is sort of fun. What'd you make? Usually Mark's wife handles damn near everything we've ever eaten.

I think Mark and I have never made something for each other or for ourselves around each other. Yeah. Mark's wife handles everything. And I got to make little things. I don't know, like gravy and put the turkey back in because it wasn't like little things. It's sort of fun to be a part of that. No, I do want to talk about Mark being a masochist

a tiny bit. What do you mean? Mark's been on this masochism shit like way too heavy and then also got me on it recently. Talk to us. So he's like, yeah. Did this start with the Shackleton? Yeah, I think that technically.

Shackleton is a symptom, it's all part. No, no, no, Shackleton, I really. It's all part. Shackleton, I think if we go back in time, we'll be like the actual point of the frame. That's the breaking point. Yeah, but no, Mark was just talking about this in a very loving way about his child.

And I think that's all beautiful, and I don't want to take away from that. But also recently said to me, while we're both fasting, he goes, soon, dude, you're going to fucking enjoy the hunger pangs. Like when I get them, bro, when I wake up with them, I go, oh, what a day I'm about to have. And I'm like, oh, you're a fucking full blown lunatic.

That's great. And he's got me also fasting with him. How long do you fast? Like 24 hours, 36 sometimes. Anything over three days, I don't think you get like a ton of benefits. You got a problem. Yeah, I don't know about all this.

I gotta give some pushback. It's great, it's built in every culture, it's built in every religion, fasting is fundamental. I also think we eat too much as a culture, we love to consume. But no one ever feels hungry, even though for most of human history, we've all been hungry, you know what I mean?

I don't know if that's true. Why? I feel like there was just fruit everywhere. That's partially true. Like whenever you see monkeys, it's just like, oh, all right, let me get this persimmon. And I'll eat it. They're not really hurting for food.

No, I don't think they're starving, but like going for multiple hours without food, I think is pretty typical. Specifically without like proteins. I think you do that when you're busy. Yeah. And I think we were just busier back then. Some people say we're less busy.

Forcing your body to go 24 and 48 hours without food is. That's not really forcing it. Like at a certain point, just like, I don't feel fine. You're having hunger pains. Sometimes. Sometimes, sometimes. Sometimes you got hunger pains. Hunger pleasures. Yeah, you got hunger pleasure, bro.

Nah, I don't know, that shit is nice, dude. And then you get to kind of like break through it in your brain. Or sometimes you use like a sauna, cold plunge, you try to like fucking force your brain through it. Yeah. The only freedom is discipline, guys. All right, just remember that.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not. Insert the anorexic line. I probably have an eating disorder. So don't do that. Mark has an eating disorder crazy, so. But now Miles is on it. Oh, nice.

Now Miles is on it, we do it together, suffer together. He's texting me every like six hours. And Mark has never texted me more in his life. He's never responded to a text in my life. And then the moment I start fasting every three hours, he's like, how you feeling, brother? We're in this together. The pain cave is nothing.

And I was like, oh. The pain cave is nothing. The pain cave is great. Did you go deep in your pain cave? I'll believe in this shit, bro. Check it on your boys, bro. No, that's just wild. I get it.

This is easy. Going into a pain cave is nice. And you don't get it. I've done it every single year since I've been 13. It's fast for 25 hours. Yeah. And it's not hard. It's not hard.

It's not hard. He's bragging about one day a year. Yeah, it's better than some, you know? Some people. He's making a good point. We're all on our path. Pain cave is real. Oh, it's awesome. I can do ice baths, I can fast.

He can't do that shit. Andrew can, no pain cave for Andrew. But I think if there's a communal element, he could be down. He's gonna tell the community, I'm cold, I'm tired. He's gonna be complaining. He creates a podcast to tell everyone how I'm cold, I'm tired. He makes sure. He creates a podcast to tell everyone how cold, hungry, tired he is. If it's like, hey, we all cold plunge for five minutes, we all get like 10 grand.

He'd be like, yeah, I can stick it out for the squad. He can't do it. I'll do it for the group. For the group. He's got it. It's not for me. I want to do it. But for the group, I'll do it. Because for him, he just be like, you know, fuck this shit. OK, exactly. But if I'm letting down other people, that would affect. I get that. you don't understand,

he can't do those three things. He can't do everything else. Just, you know what, guys, everyone, for all the public. We crushed up today in Pat's. He is better on Andrew's. I'm just fucking tired. I'm wondering where his gut is looking. Andrew's the best.

Andrew's the best. Crushed him. He is so much better than me now. Oh, wow. He can't do an ice bath. He can't fast for 25 hours. That's great, I just find it. He's a now. Oh, he can't do a nice bath. He can't I did one day of Ramadan. I've done that I've done that Yeah, the water's tough. That water is tough. Wait, you did it Ramadan. Yeah one day

Why I would do one day. Why? I would do one day every year. Saladera with my Muslim friends. You've done that? You haven't done that shit? I have, I swear. I made Emma do it once. Wait, what?

I did. How does that work? I reverted her. You went to Sharia? I went to As-salamu alaykum. This household was Sharia for the day. We were Sharia for the day. For the day we were Sharia.

This was during COVID. Oh, that would be awesome. I think that would actually be a good, a good thing. I went, As-salamu alaykum. This household was Sharia for the day. We were Sharia for the day. For the day we were Sharia, this was during COVID. Oh, that would be awesome. I think that would actually be a good bipartisan bill. Which is? Sharia day. Everybody goes, no, men would support that. Yeah, me up.

And so our Muslim immigrant friends, they feel connected to the culture. Boom. And then we all get to see the beauty of Islam. Thank you. Sharia day, one day a year. We need Sharia day. We don't go crazy. Just no talking back. Why don't we get that day? No talking back day. One day of just you appreciate everything I do. And also if I ever buy you anything for two weeks minimum, there's nothing you could say. Thousand percent.

Thousand percent. Because I've realized it don't matter the price. They gonna complain two weeks minimum, there's nothing you could say. 1000%. 1000%. Because I've realized, it don't matter the price. They gonna complain eventually. Why are you fast complaining? Yeah, how about that? Yeah, yeah, complaining fast. Yeah.

Whoa, that's a good idea. Yeah, a complaining fast. You're not complaining about nothing. And emotional fast. Exactly. Yeah. No emotions for 24 hours. Suffer silently, that's real nobility.

Exactly. Anytime they start, you just go, Chanel. Chanel, remember that Chanel? Yeah, no, price don't matter. And it makes me go, there's diminishing returns. Truly, truly. If I was, I forget. Like a card would mean so much more.

But then you gotta write that shit. You gotta find it. Go then you gotta write that shit. Oh, exactly. You gotta find it. Yeah, go pick yourself something out, yo. Go pick yourself something else. I don't gotta write this card, yo. This is what your dad did. He was like, an apology would be easy, bro. But, flight didn't do it. You didn't get no money, huh?

So, that is still crazy, bro. Now that is wild. Guys, one, I just want to thank you guys so much for holding it down these last few weeks without me. I really appreciate it. Shout out for holding down the Patreon. Shout out to all the Patreons, man. Thank you guys so much. From what I've been hearing, you guys have been killing it.

So I won't be returning a Patreon. I'm back, I'm back this week. But I appreciate you guys so much. Thank you guys for crushing it. And yeah, this is awesome. We gotta do this edit, but now we're in our pod bag, man. You know what I mean? You mean paddle bag.

We're in our paddle bag, but we're also in our pod. When the tour stops, that's when things get interesting. That's when we end up in Morocco randomly. That's when we end up in London randomly. That's when things start cracking. So I think we got some stuff up our sleeve. We'll see what's happening in the near future. Hell yeah.

Very excited. Anyway, thank you guys so much. We love you. We appreciate you. Kendrick, we love you, man. We love you. We love you. Love, love. Hey, it's a real love. It's a real love.

What? Love, love. The A is a real love. It's a real love. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. What? Al? I'm gonna take Kendrick to Wicked. I'm gonna take Kendrick to Wicked. I'll do it a third time. For real. I think we should take Kendrick to Wicked.

I'm gonna dress up as Elphaba. Okay. What should we dress Kendrick up as? The munchkin guy? The lollipop guy? No, the munchkin. The guy who married Bak. That's Bak. The guy that marries Ariana. You've seen the play twice. Stop acting like you're not a homo. I don't like you act like you're not a homo like us. We all are homos. We're dressing up as Wicked. We're taking Kendrick with us.

What should we take him as? I don't know. He could be Dedalman the goat. Oh! You know who the goat was? That's our boy. Dinklage. Listen, y'all, we love you. We appreciate you.

We'll see you next week. Peace!
