It's so stupid.
It's positively brilliant.
The brilliant idiots.
Yep, Salameen, the guy.
Andrew Schultz.
We are the brilliant idiots.
Almost back.
Almost back.
First, first live podcast, first new podcast of 2021.
How are you, Andrew Schulte?
Man, I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
Life is good. I'm well relaxed.
How are you, bro?
How was the ayahuasca?
I didn't do it, man.
Oh, you scared, bro.
You know why?
You know why?
Because, no, no, the place I'm going to do it, I got, like, it's all, I don't want to give it away right now, but it's like a whole facility, but it's not, it's definitely not in America. I wasn't in America. I was in Mexico. I went to Kabul. Cabo ain't the vibe for that to me.
What do you mean? Well, yeah, it's not the vibe at all. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where I was at in Cabo, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful community I was staying in.
What'd you say? One and only. What's that? Is that the hotel you're at?
Oh, no, I wasn't at a hotel.
I was in a private community that people own,
you can only own a property there.
But being, being that I, being that, you know,
one of my partners owns a property there.
Yeah.
Sluke to Miss Debbie Brown.
They allowed us to,
they allowed us to rent out a property that the owners weren't in for that,
for the amount of time that we were there.
Gotcha.
I was there for like eight, I was there for like eight days.
I mean, I did a lot of, a lot of, a lot of,
spiritual work.
I did a lot of mindfulness practice.
It's like, you know, yoga every morning.
Tell us about the drugs, bro.
We want to know about the drugs.
We don't care about stress.
I didn't do nothing but edibles, man.
I'm not going to lie.
I punked out.
I even pumped out on the shrooms.
You built that shit up, bro.
You built that shit up like you was about to do ayahuasca,
meat, the elders was going to be some Black Panther shit.
But nothing, bro.
Come on.
I even punked out.
I punked out on the shrooms, man.
You didn't even do shrooms?
Nah, I punked out.
I punked out.
I wasn't ready.
I don't do that.
I don't do that shit.
Huh?
I don't do that shit.
Keep going on.
Listen, plant-based medicine is a thing.
You know what I mean?
I don't mind anything that's from the earth.
No, it's not like it's going to kill you.
I just don't know if I'm ready to see what it's going to show.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's the paranoia, bro.
That's the reality.
You're not ready to go to the dark side.
You're not waiting to see where this personality came from.
Well, you know, a healer.
A healer that was there.
Healer.
told me, yeah, they told me that,
arrogant thing to call yourself.
A healer.
Not really?
A healer.
I healer.
Hey, man.
I hear.
Yeah.
But they, I mean, they, they put in the time and the work to get to this place,
but they told me that I'm already in the psychic realm a lot.
You know what I'm saying?
And so I was just like, I don't know, it kind of like just made me, I just got,
put it like this.
Like I told them, my psychic abilities told me not right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
I think that's your paranoia abilities, your anxiety abilities.
That's what they told me.
They said that to me too, which actually, by the way, felt a lot like peer pressure.
It felt a lot like, you know, go ahead and just do a line.
Bro.
Bro, I get it, and I will tell you, I don't know.
I think you might have spoken about this before, maybe even years ago, but like,
I'm a pretty risk-taking individual, right?
I don't mind risks.
I do things that outside of, I have a huge fear of heights, but outside of that, like, I'm willing to do something dangerous because I find that that danger kind of fun.
But for the first time in my life, I was feeling so filled with gratitude for all the things that I've been able to have, you know, not only career-wise, but love-wise, you know, family.
And I had all these amazing things.
and I started going, why are you risking it?
Why are you risking going surfing?
Why are you risking?
You had some fun surfing.
Do you really need to stay out a little bit longer?
Something bad could happen.
Like I felt as if I wasn't being grateful enough to God,
as if God was like, you really want to do that risky shit after all the shit I gave you?
I gave you all this beautiful shit and you really want to stand on the side of that mountain and look off that cliff.
You're going to do that to me?
Does that make sense?
That makes total sense because you said this to me before.
It's like it's not just about you anymore, bro.
You got a fiance.
You got, you got employees.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm sure you're taking care of your parents.
You know what I mean?
You can't just put yourself in a position where there's no Andrew Shultz.
When there's no Andrew Shultz, that changes the whole ecosystem for a lot of people.
Well, let me tell you something.
In Hawaii, there was almost no Andrew Shultz.
Really?
Yeah, I almost died.
There's no such thing.
Why do people say stuff?
like that. I almost die.
I thought I almost die, bro.
No, no, no, no, no.
How do you almost die?
I drowned.
No, you didn't.
Yes, I did.
All right, explain.
I told him flagrant, so I'll be quick, but I was surfing.
It was a beautiful day.
I'd surf two days.
I went out the third day.
And I was in Lanai, Hawaii, right?
Small island, 3,000 people.
It's owned by Larry Ellison, right?
And I was saying this beautiful resort.
They have a surf spot in front of the
resort, but they tell you you can't surf there. They even tell you a lie. They go, oh, it's a marine
something zone, you know, protected marine zone. You can't surf there. I saw people surfing.
I go out surf the third day. I take off on a wave. The takeoff for the wave is right in front of
some reef and rock, right? I fall in the takeoff and because it's so shallow, I spread out
because I want to fall as shallow as I possibly can. So instead of...
Starfish. Exactly. I go straight starfish. I go into the wall. I go into the
I try to swim up to the surface, and all of a sudden my leash is tugging me.
I think it's just because the wave is pulling my board away, and then I realize, oh shit,
the leash is wrapped around the reef.
The leash is connected to me wrapping around the reef.
Now, here's the thing.
When I was going to the surface, I felt my hands breach the surface, and the second I feel
my hands breached the surface, naturally, I just blow out my air so I could take my first breath of air.
I blew out my air, and then I stopped.
I'm still under the water.
I'm scraping.
I'm kicking.
I'm doing everything I possibly can't.
I can't get up.
Panic.
Son, crazy panic?
I take a breath of water.
I thought that means you die.
When you take a breath of water.
I took a breath.
Oh.
That shit was, yeah, it was like a bong rip.
Okay.
Okay.
All of a sudden, I got this extreme focus.
There was one task at hand,
and all my fear and anxiety turned into
focus.
And I was like, you just got to get that leash off.
If you get that leash off, you'll be able to swim up to the surface.
So weird.
In that moment of survival, like everything honed in and became pinpoint my focus.
And I reached down and I grabbed the leash.
And the second I grabbed the leash, it popped the leash off of the coral and the board popped up and I went to the surface.
Wow.
I couldn't believe it, bro.
Couldn't believe.
We should start calling you Little Half Dead?
that's your new name.
Little half dead.
That's your new name.
Jesus.
Yo, that's what I'm.
I hit death with a hezzy, bro.
You hit death with the hezzy, dude.
Nah, you know, damn, that would have been fucked up.
I'm sitting there thinking if Andrew Schultz passed away, thank God you did.
I mean, yeah.
Is Schultz saves America fire enough that you die a legend?
Yo.
You got to think.
You got to think.
about stuff like that.
But he couldn't save himself.
Yo, the jokes would have been.
That would have been the joke.
That would have been the one now everybody who kept
retweeting over and over.
Wow, show saved America, but he couldn't save himself.
I thought about that under the water.
I was like, nah, I got to make it out of this.
Not right now.
You got to make another one.
Come on, yeah, yeah.
You got too much work to do.
We got a lot of work to do.
I can't die yet.
Nah, you got a lot of work to do.
That is a true feeling, no, man.
And that's actually a, no, let's get into it,
positively brilliant what a fucking idiot. I think that's a positively brilliant place to be.
I think that when you get to that place of gratitude where you're just thankful and grateful
for life. Like, I was on the toilet taking a shit on Sunday, right?
This is after being at the bar all day by the pool, like, just drinking mad tequila, right?
Okay. And we're in Mexico, so we're drinking the finest of tequila. By the way, why would
you ever want to build a wall around Mexico? Such an amazing, much an amazing place to go.
And I mean, for the tequila alone.
All right.
But, you know, we're drinking tequila.
What are you drinking?
I was actually drinking, um, Casa Dragonus, anjejo.
Casa dragonous.
Casca Dragones.
I like the aniejo too.
Yeah, I was drinking that and I was on the toilet, man.
I just literally was taking a shit.
And at first I thought it was like my stomach because of all the Mexican food and the tequila.
Mm-hmm.
But then I realized I was just so filled with joy and gratitude and gratefulness.
And it was literally all because of my family and friends.
Not even anything professionally.
Just sitting there thinking how I'm surrounded by such a great circle.
I started crying, man.
White my ass got up and just hugged on my wife.
Now that I think about it, I'm like, damn, I didn't even wash my hands before I hugged him.
That's fine.
That's love.
Yeah, that is beautiful, man.
That's love.
Well, I'm excited for you, man.
What else did you do in Hawaii?
Anything else good?
Yeah, it was just amazing to get away.
Like I probably saw during the whole vacation,
I probably saw like 15 people maybe, maybe total.
You know, like I was just super removed.
Yeah, it was great.
I mean, I just wanted, we've been working so fucking hard
and I just wanted to kind of like get away from everything.
So it was great.
But it was so, I mean, I was just super grateful, man.
It was just great.
Like the reaction that we got from the special and like,
most importantly, like the people sharing it.
Like, it's one thing to watch something and enjoy it.
It's another thing to like take your phone out,
videotape yourself watching it
and then write, you have to watch this.
Everybody must watch this.
And just to see so many people do that,
like so many people feel like they were rooting for me.
It was, yeah, I don't know.
It was touching, man.
You know, it was touching.
Sometimes it's hard to explain those emotions, but...
Because we live in this era where everybody
is so quick to tell you how fucked up they think you are.
It's so quick to tell you how much they don't like you.
The slander comes easily
comes more easily than the love.
You know what I'm saying?
So when you see the love, you're like, wow.
No?
Yeah.
That's all.
I'm not going to like,
it felt like virtual reality
being out of the country, though.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Because we've been in the house.
I mean, the only reason I'm in the house now
is because I'm being a responsible American.
Man, pull up to the studio, bro.
We're immune out here, dog.
I'll come mute.
You can catch it twice.
You can't, not me.
You can't catch it twice.
Not me.
Not me, bro.
As I always tell,
people. I couldn't catch death.
Listen, there's nobody, but those two motherfuckers.
Let me take that back. Sorry, God. I apologize, God. I apologize, God. But get God.
You better apologize to death. You see that metal thing standing behind you?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, chill out. All right. Listen, the grim reaper and COVID are two invisible
entities that's always ready to show you a word. Okay, Beck.
Yeah. Okay, bet. Okay, bet. Okay, bet. That's what I thought it was.
COVID and death is like, okay, bet.
Oh, a word?
Okay, you can't catch me twice?
Okay, bet.
Bro, I was underwater, man.
I was like, man, you fucking didn't spend any time with your fiancee for three months while you're doing this special.
And the second you go on vacation, you out there surfing without her.
Jesus.
Christ.
I was like, is this the way?
Yeah, I always feel, I.
Is this the way, bro?
Yeah, I always feel bad for fiancise who, um, significant others.
Yeah, you should.
They're little half widows.
You know what I mean?
I mean, I do.
I do.
You know what I'm saying?
They don't even get to be whole widows, bro.
You know?
They significant other dyes and they can't even be like,
you're a whole widow out here, bro.
It's like, no.
Almost.
You was going to be.
The Grim Reaper snatched that ring off your finger.
Listen, what did you see this week that made you say positively brilliant?
What a fucking idiot.
man is Kanye
blowing that
makeup guy girl
what
you haven't heard about this
no
oh word on the streets
his reason Kim and Kanye
again divorces because Kanye
was hooking up with Jeffrey Star
who's like this
son y'all haven't been on Twitter
Andrew
Andrew Hilley shout's to Jeffrey Star
bad bitch
Harvey Shouts
Harvey Shouts
TM flagrant.
The fuck are you getting this from?
The news, Twitter.
That's where I get my shit.
Twitter and academics.
I haven't seen that nowhere.
Yeah, Kanye was out there smoking poles, bro.
You didn't know he was out there smoking poles, bro?
Jesus Christ.
No, nothing's wrong with that, bro.
He got the cutest dude.
You're starting off 2021 as a gossip girl.
Ow.
What the fuck?
Jesus Christ.
Don't lose that goddamn Netflix money
because you're getting caught up in a defamation suit.
I already spent that shit on vacation, bro.
That shit is gone.
Your boy was bawling on vacation.
No boo, don't mind if I do.
I'm not going to lie to you, man.
I get sad when I see divorce stories.
You know what I'm saying?
I do.
I'm not going to lie.
I get sad when I see divorce.
You know what I love about you?
You, you, you,
you're so attached from like negative emotions
that like you make declarative statements about yourself
as if they're different from other people.
Like you'd be like,
I'm sad when a girl's boyfriend dies.
I get sad when people get divorced.
It's like, yeah.
But listen, but time on, time on, time on, time on.
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
Hard for you to see in the dark as well.
That's not true.
By the way, if we're using just social media as a gauge,
how the fuck is it ain't sad.
Kanye and Kim.
divorce, they rejoicing.
They're happy as hell. You think they're happy?
Go look at the comments.
Who do you think's happy? Do you think that like all the trans dudes is out there?
Because they get to take a shot at the yay.
Yay, yay. I think, I think people are happy simply because
social media is really the land of the miserable.
Yo, it is so true, bro.
Yeah, so when you got two people, when you got two people who have been
winning for so long, have made so much money, have no problem showing you how much money they
make.
They live their motherfucking best lives regardless of it's a pandemic or World War III.
They don't give a shit.
They stunting.
Yes, people are happy when they think that it's some misery that has entered their lives.
Yes.
It sucks if that's what social media has become, man, because it could be this tool.
Like, I got a shout out.
You want to know positively brilliant?
I got a shout out.
Barstools Dave Portnoy, the guy who owns Barstool.
Right.
Okay.
He started this fund for businesses, small businesses struggling during the lockdown during the pandemic.
Okay.
Okay.
Nope.
He's raised, I think, up to like $20 million or something like that.
And he literally just calls these mom and pop businesses, a dry cleaners, a pizza store, something like that.
And just calls them up, be like, yeah, we're going to help you get through it.
And you see these adults start to break down because they know that the thing.
they've worked their entire lives for this business is going to have at least a lifeline to get
through the pandemic.
I respect it.
That's gay-star.
I respect it.
It is so fucking cool, man.
It was so cool to see.
And the power of giving, you can even really see on his face, like in the videos that
he's like really touched by the emotions, you know, of these people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm like, yo, that is also a social media could be.
Social media can also be these really dope stories where people are giving back and giving
people's second chances for their business or whatever else.
And I don't know if we would appreciate it if that's all it would be.
But it's just cool to know there is another side to the completely negative, angry, lonely,
you know, pessimistic side of social media.
There's just trying to tear people down because you want them to be on your level,
which is very low.
And what you just said is absolutely true.
But guess what?
It's some motherfuckers out there that'll find a way to twist that.
And they'll be like, why the fuck he got a lot?
put that online. Why he got to record
that? Why can't he just do it?
Why can't he just show love?
Why can't he just do it? Why he got to record them?
That shit is whack.
It's like, come on, bro. Stop.
Like, I'm telling you, they can find a way
to twist anything. That's what I saw
with the fucking idiots who got mad at Cardi B.
What Cardi do?
Well, Cardi was listening to Wop. I don't know if this is
an old video or a new video, but he was listening to WAP
and Coach it comes running in the room.
And she did what any parent would do.
She turned that shit the fuck off.
Oh, she turned it off.
She turned it off.
Why?
And if anybody knows how wet she gets.
Oh, my God.
It's probably the baby that slid out.
But she turned it off because she turned it off because people got upset because they were saying,
and by the way, I can understand what people think the hypocrisy lies.
They said that she can make this kind of music for other kids to consume,
but doesn't want her own.
kid to consume it, right?
But the reality of the situation
is this. There's a reason these
songs have parental advisory stickers.
She's not making this music for
three-year-olds. Exactly. You know what I mean?
This ain't no kids' bop. It's no wet-ass pamper.
All right? We're talking pussy.
All right?
Okay.
Yo, wet-ass pamper is
lit. Oh, that's the kid's-bop
version. You need to do wet-ass
pamper.
You got that wet-ass pamper.
What's the next line of it?
Listen, it's different.
It's mad ways you can flip the
the Wop for kids, Bob.
There's some chores in this house.
There's some chores in this house.
There's some chores in this house.
You know what I'm saying?
It's all type of ways you can do it.
It's some trash to take out.
There's some trash to take out.
There's some trash to take out.
Yo, I love that.
Toilets clean them out.
Toilets clean.
It's different ways you can flip the motherfucker.
You know what I mean?
But here's the thing.
And Cardi said it.
I'm not making music for kids.
I'm making it for adults.
The problem with music, there's no age limit.
Like, even though it's got a parental advisory sticker,
you can walk in a record store and buy anything you fucking want.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
And then when you got the radio playing the clean version of Wop,
and I'm a kid in the car.
And I'm like, what is this, Mommy?
And now Mommy got to sit there and have an uncomfortable conversation.
The daddy got to sit there and have an uncomfortable conversation.
And this kid is old enough to go online and look up the song himself
and be pleasantly surprised when he pulls up
the video.
You know what I'm saying?
But you can't be mad at Cardi
because she don't want her 3-year-old daughter
to listen to Wop.
Shit, I don't want my 12-year-old daughter
to read none of my books yet.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She'd give her a few years.
My wife told her dad not to read
none of my books.
Really?
Hey, man.
Why?
And they're talking about my wife's Wop sometimes.
Wait, were you?
Oh, that's right.
And one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one,
one story in particular when I had a panic,
I literally had a panic attack in the midst of sex.
And when shook one anxiety playing tricks on me,
I literally had a panic attack in the midst of sex.
Super awkward.
Now, how did you get out of that situation?
Did you finish the job?
Well, I mean, luckily I've been with my wife long enough
that she understands when I get panic attacks.
So she just tried to talk me off a ledge.
Have I ever seen you get a panic attack?
This would be so funny.
Straight to the gram.
I go live.
Oh, by the way, I used to get them a lot
when we used to do like the red carpets and shit.
I was wondering.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
But the best part about that is we were all together.
So, yeah, you could.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And when you're all together with a bunch of comedians
and you're not the comedian,
I don't got to perform.
Yeah, but you were always very good at the red carpet.
Because I'm focusing.
But I got to do something.
to keep my mind off of the moment.
So when the microphones come in my face,
it's something that makes me feel familiar
and I'm comfortable.
You know what I mean?
And in those brief moments
when we walk in the red carpet
and we're talking, who?
And then other than that,
it's like we're sitting in our seats.
And, you know, it was a moment
it was a period of my life
when I'm just waiting.
All right, who about to approach me?
Who am I going to have to tell?
Get the fuck out my face, suck my dick.
You know what I mean?
That was crazy.
They wouldn't even let Wax sit with us.
I was your security guard
for like the first two years
that we were going to those MTV things.
That's true.
And then everybody started liking wax.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And then he could protect you.
Yes.
Then you were protectable.
Once they thought he was a nice guy.
I guess it's fine.
No.
That is very great.
That is true, though.
True, man.
That is true.
That is true.
Listen, positively brilliant.
not the Democrats, not the Democrats
winning the Senate runoff.
Oh, yeah.
The organized, the political black culture
that Georgia has created
and it's thriving right now in Georgia.
It's very impressive.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's a combination of, you know,
organizations like Stacey Abrams Fair Fight
and the New Georgia Project is grassroots organizations
like what Tasha Brown does
with black voters.
Matter. You know, you have people like Tamika Mallory and Untell Freedom on the ground.
It's the rappers. I love to see all the articles that CNN wrote and Rolling Stone about how
these rappers in Atlanta have mobilized people so much that they've become political
kingmakers. You know what I mean? And in particular, Killer Mike, of course, T.I., you know,
G.Z. Germain Dupree. It's just good to see that community come together, mobilized.
And, man, first they flipped the state blue that hasn't been a blue state. I don't know.
if ever, if it has been, it's been years, years, years, years, years, years.
Right.
And, you know, now they just, you know, got the first black senator ever in the South.
And Reverend Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff won.
I just think that what they did in Georgia is big and I think it should be
replicated throughout America.
And not even just for Democrats, whatever your party is, that's the kind of mobilization you need.
That's the kind of organization and unity and group operation you need.
You know what I'm saying?
You get behind.
I'm not arguing with anybody anymore about politics.
Yeah.
Rep what you want to rep.
Believe in what you want to believe in.
But when it comes time to put those people in those positions of power,
take care of business.
But plan, organize, and strategize, like my man, Killer Mike.
Simple as that.
Yeah.
I can't wait to not care about politics.
I think we're well past that, Andrew.
You make it too much money now.
Yeah, that's true.
Making too much money now.
Like, you gotta care.
You gotta care about state taxes.
You gotta care about federal taxes.
That's how I almost fired everybody yesterday.
I almost fired everybody.
I was so, when I found out,
talk to me about it.
This is the pain I like to feel.
Tell me how much I got paid taxes.
I call it my business manager.
I was the first thing I said to like, hey, happy New Year.
I say, what do you do for me?
What do?
Do you do for me?
I was like, don't ever email me again.
He goes, this is how they try to play.
This is good news.
This means you're making money.
I was like, well, hide it.
Let's do something illegal.
What are we doing out here?
Brilliant idiots, listeners.
I know that you've been riding with Andrew Schultz
and Leonard McKelvey for a long time.
This is the part where I really need y'all to act like y'all in a safari.
All right.
Just ride.
Just ride in the Jeep and listen,
for those of us who don't understand
where it's coming from,
I can already see some of the comments,
y'all complaining about having to pay more taxes.
That's so easy to say
until you got to pay high six figures in taxes.
Okay?
Hey, bro.
Now here's the thing.
I was thinking about this.
I was like, yo,
how do I make this relatable?
Because if anybody,
if I heard anybody having this conversation,
I would say,
suck my dick,
you spoil my,
motherfuckers, why you complaining? That's what I would say.
100%. So if anybody's thinking that, I get it. So I was like, how do I make this conversation
relatable? Okay, I have an idea. We're in new money, bro.
We just started making fucking money.
Don't take it. I mean, real money. Like real, I mean, by the way, I mean, don't get me wrong.
We've all been, we've been doing well for a long time. You know what I'm saying?
Right. But like, yo, do you know how it feels for a motherfucker just to come and literally like just take
large six figures out your bank account
and you don't even know where the fuck is going?
Bro.
Get the fuck out of here, man.
This is what,
there's two things that bother me about it.
And I think everybody should be bothered by this type of thing.
I think it should be illegal to pay.
Well, number one thing that bothers me is
I'm a thing,
I'm a person like,
when I like fairness,
you know what I mean?
But I'm talking about fairness on like a universal scale.
Right?
When the balance is untipped,
when the balance is tipped, I don't like it.
It bothers me.
You know what I mean?
So, like, for example, if I'm waiting online and the motherfucker gets to skip the line,
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're all waiting online or somebody skips, or we all skip, but we're not doing this.
You get to skip and then we all don't have to, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unless it's something wrong.
Or unless I get to skip.
Or if the guy's rushing for a flight or something.
Now, even if you're rushing for a flight, it's like you should have got here early like me.
I didn't sleep, you know what I woke up early.
I'm tired.
You're not tired because you don't have to wake up early.
Get your shit together, right?
So this is the shit that bothers me.
I know these real rich motherfuckers ain't paying taxes, bro.
I know they're not paying taxes.
And I know they set up a system so they cannot pay taxes.
And I want in on that system.
I want it.
I want it.
Clearly we're not in that elite level yet.
We're not fair.
Because I know for a fact, when Donald Trump,
Tax returns came out, I hit my financial guy and I said, I want this.
How do I do it?
How do I do it?
Give me the fucking Trump, bro.
How do I do I got to dye my hair red?
Should I gain some weight?
What's the fuck?
What do we got to do?
Do I need to get an orange hue?
All right?
Are we moving to Florida?
Are we moving to Florida?
What are we doing?
I'm with you.
Yes, I'm with you.
Do we got to put some of these escorts in LLCs in Florida?
That's what I'm saying.
Yes.
What are we got to do?
We already do it on Zoom.
I moved to Ireland.
I don't care.
Come on.
I'm sorry, man.
Feel my pain.
I'm sorry.
Bro, I'm looking at shit.
I'm like, oh, Apple isn't even, like Apple's business hub ain't even in America.
It's in Ireland.
So that they could take advantage of a tax break.
I'm looking to all these different companies,
how they're getting away with not paying taxes.
I'm looking at all these motherfuckers.
I'm like, oh, there's a system around the system.
And I don't have access to that shit.
and you know what that system is built?
The reason why we're paying taxes
is so that those motherfuckers don't have to.
That's why we're paying taxes.
The government is like, all right, we need you
because you guys are these big businesses,
so y'all don't got to pay taxes.
But what we will do is we're going to jack it up
on these suckers right here
and we're going to punish these suckers right here
because they don't know how to get to this other system they built.
And the fact that that imbalance exists drives me fucking crazy.
bro, when Jay-Z says on what's free, my accountant so good,
I'm practically living tax-free, I was like,
I want his fucking accountant.
You know what I mean?
When I'm places, like, when I'm places like in Kabul,
and I'm looking around at this community,
and I'm looking at all of these nondescript people,
and I'm not saying that you got to be, you know,
famous in order to have money,
but some of these people just look nondescript.
Like, you know what I mean?
They just look like Mr. Potatoheads
that need some accessories.
And I'm like, that's FICA.
That's FICA.
That's FICA.
That's FICA.
right there. That motherfucker is, that's where my tax dollars are going to that human right there.
Because it's got to be going somewhere. It ain't going to the communities that need it.
Really? That's another thing. It's like, and now we sound like some real conservatives, but like,
if you gave us the money to put in the places we want, right? You gave us the money to put it in the
places we want. We would do the right thing. And the right thing is keep it.
No, but listen, by the way, by the way, by the way, I love philanthropist.
I think philanthropy is a real thing.
I understand why people put philanthropy in their bio.
I understand why people go up on TV and they put philanthropy in their lower third.
That's a real thing.
Like, I enjoy being a philanthropist.
I am the guy who gave a quarter million dollars to South Carolina State University.
Damn, bro.
You know that, to open up a scholarship fund in my mother's name, right?
Now, if I knew without I was having to pay in taxes the next year, I probably wouldn't have did that.
You know what I mean?
Maybe not the whole 250.
You know what I'm saying?
But that's just what happens when you are still figuring out how this shit works.
But that's why you got to have.
But by the way, Shultz, this is why you got to have the best people around you, bro.
You got to invest in a good financial person.
My dude, humble is a beast.
He's at, Humble is actually one of the top 10 business managers, financial guys in Hollywood.
According to the Hollywood reporter the last couple of years, like he's a beast.
I know.
We'd be doing brilliant idiots
and your phone
just stopped working
and you'd be like
oh shit I forgot to pay that
I'd be like bro
come on
get your shit together
can you please
can you please
you are too rich
to have your phone bill
be on not automatic
do you remember those days
it's not even
by the way
it's not the bills
you call me?
You say Sholes
can you call me
can you call me real quick
something for on my phone
do you call me
no nothing
ruins your sense of validation
like when that phone
not ready
bro
You know what else?
I'm not getting no text.
I'm like,
yeah,
my shit.
You know,
imagine the arrogance
and the ego or you
to think nobody's calling you
because your phones are.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh,
my fucking your phones?
No,
that's,
that's true, though,
because, like,
you ever get,
you ever get off a flight
and you ain't got no texts
or like any DMs or nothing?
You'd be like,
let me turn this shit all and on.
I'm still in a bad,
no,
I'm still in a bad area.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think it kicked in yet.
It says I got service,
but I don't think the service
kicked in yet.
I don't got enough service to get enough DMs that I got coming in.
My wife did that shit to me the other day.
I don't know if she was trying to humble me or what.
I was minding my business on the fucking plane.
She said nobody's taking.
And you know, usually when you land, when you land and you're a taxi and that's when you pull your phone out and you take it off airplay mode.
And, you know, we were sitting there for a while because it was a plane still sitting there.
And I was responding to text.
Right.
But no matter of fact, we was in the car and we went home.
And she was like, you're not on the phone?
like nobody's calling you.
I'm like, I don't feel like talking.
I'm texting.
Like I just came from a week of meditation.
Yeah.
All right.
By the way, meditation is great,
but I should have added that to my repertoire a long time ago.
Like, I actually know how to meditate now, show.
Really?
I do.
I didn't know how to meditate before.
I actually know how to meditate now.
Like I literally,
I have these,
I have these beads and it's like,
you count the beads.
So, like, you start off with one wave.
It was one wave of, um,
breathing,
exercise, inhaling, exhaling, and then it's another wave of counting the beads where it's a chant.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm doing my chant.
What is your trance?
I can't, I can't say it.
It's my personal mantra.
I just called it a trant.
No, it's my personal mantra.
What's the one where you get your own mantra?
What?
Can you just tell us our mantra?
Tell us your mantra.
No, I can't tell you the mantra.
It's for me.
It's my own personal mantra.
I can't tell you.
But I will say I got to repeat the mantra like 108 times.
I got to count every beat.
and then after that I go into complete silence
and I promise you man
that shit right there.
Feels good, huh?
Bro, that shit is hitting the reset
when you down 210 O and Madden, bro.
When you down 21-0 and Madden,
you got to hit that motherfucking reset that button.
That's what meditation is, bro.
That shit is actually good for you.
And what scared me this year going into 2021
is it was a couple of times
I was asked,
what are my manifestations for 2021?
Ooh.
Yeah, we were on the boat meditating, and I was asked that.
And then we were in our circle praying and meditating, and I was asked that all I saw was a blank canvas.
And so white, whiteness.
That's it.
Whiteness.
It was just a blank canvas.
Like, I didn't see, I was like, wow.
Because, you know, I'm the vision board guy.
You know what I'm saying?
I got all of these different goals and aspirations and things I want to accomplish.
I don't have none of that this shit.
The only thing I want to do is just I want to just serve, right?
I want to serve.
I want to serve other people and just execute what's already, you know, on the field.
Yeah.
I want to execute the place in the playbook.
I think I know what yours are.
But, and I think you've been, I think the transition you've made in your life recently
and you're going through all these different things that I tease you about, you know,
hugging trees and, you know, dealing with different rocks and that kind of stuff.
but also like therapy, meditation is like,
you're making the transition that very few people get the opportunity to make,
which is going from surviving to living.
Ooh.
And in life, at first, we're all surviving.
Maybe when we're kids, we don't even know it.
You're kind of like living with your parents.
They're supporting you.
But like you're still trying to survive in your own kid like way.
You're like trying to survive school and not being bullied and all these kind of things.
And it's like you work as an adult.
You go through school.
You work.
and then you get a job, and hopefully that job pays you enough money where you can survive.
And a lot of people, they need to, most people on the planet, they need to work every single day
or five days a week, and then they need to work that next week.
They can't stop working, and their life is based around working because if they stop working,
then they die, right?
Or they potentially die, right?
Some people get to a financial state where they can stop working if they want, and they can survive.
It doesn't mean they're going to be rich for the rest of their life.
but they can survive and they can take care of their family.
And at that point...
Doing nothing is a luxury.
Yes.
And at that point, you start experiencing living.
And that's the point where you're like,
yo, I got to figure out how to live because every day before this,
if I didn't bust my ass and work, I would be dead and my family would be dead.
So I was surviving.
But now that I know my family's good and I know I'm good,
I might as well figure out how to get the most out of this life thing that I got in front of me.
and that's always been a greater goal of mine is to have that like very unique opportunity
to live, to not survive, to truly live, to have enough financial capital where I could take
care of my family and everybody needs to be taken care of and then have the opportunity
where to really figure out what life is like when you remove the tiger that's chasing you,
you know, which is survival, whatever those things.
So I think that's what your journey that you've been on.
recently has been.
It's like, how do I be okay, just be in me?
Yeah, I mean, I agree with half of that.
I definitely agree with the living and the thriving part.
And it's not that I disagree about the financial part
because people who tell you things like they had more money
when they was poor and all that, that's a lie.
Nobody ever says they had more money when they were poor.
No, they do.
That's something they try to say to sound like fake deep
or when they want people to have sympathy for them.
You know what I mean?
Oh, like.
You know what I mean?
Like, I had more money when I was broke.
I had more money when I was poor.
Like, eh, okay.
I don't even understand that.
You actually didn't.
You literally.
And by the way, and by the way, if you did,
you were a kid.
Ask your parents if they had fun.
All right.
Ask your parents if they had fun.
They're using money as a metaphor for happiness.
Exactly.
And that's what I think it is.
I don't think, yeah, I don't think money,
I don't think money can help you.
live. The only reason I say that is because I know so many people who just wake up every day, man,
and they live their best lives and it don't have anything to do with money. Like,
they really do appreciate the simple things in life. And that's why I always say, like,
success is subjective. You know what I mean? Happiness is subjective. There's somebody right now,
I promise you, making $30,000 a year and they wake up every morning and they got a beautiful family.
I mean not even have a family. They might just have themselves, but they love them.
life. They love what they do and they are happy. You ever seen that janitor that's just
cleaning the halls, but they're always singing, you know what I mean? Or that traffic guard
that's outside the school, but they dancing and putting on the show for people every morning
and making everybody else's day better. Like, those people exist. And when I look at people like that,
man, it just really makes you, it just makes you want to live, like you said. You know what I mean?
I just want to live my best life. I want to be the best, the best version of me. And I've genuinely
found these things that make me feel good.
The more I can steal my mind, the more I can keep my mind calm,
the more I can keep my mind from constantly racing,
the more I can keep my mind from constantly caring about bullshit.
Yeah.
Because that's another thing, Shultz.
We're in a business where we have to,
you cannot do Shultz save America if you don't have at least
two years worth of bullshit stored in your brain
to be able to spew.
I'm serious.
Yeah.
I got to get on that radio every morning, 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
And care about this low energy.
Bullshit.
Yeah.
Well, that's, you're 100% right.
That's why, like, when people are like, oh, you're going to do it again in 2021,
it's like, I got to be compelled to do it.
Like, this past year, I felt like there were so many things that were happening in the world
and where I thought that America specifically was so divided,
or at least the perception of a division, was so right.
rife in like culture that that I don't know I just felt compel I was like yeah we need to do this we need
to do something that speaks to this right so when people keep going like oh yeah we're going to do again
21 21 22 is a yearly thing I was like well let's see how 2021 goes because if everything is beautiful
it's not needed if it's needed then I'll deliver it but the amount of fucking time and sacrifice a
project like that takes it's literally a quarter of your year is completely dedicated to
to it. I mean, you saw us in here every time you pull up in the studio. It's just like,
nah, stop. So for me to do that, I could never do that on some frivolous shit. I could fuck around
on a pod on some stupid, you know, Kanye story with the Jeffrey Star, which is obviously bullshit or
whatever like that. Obviously, that's a jokes, but like to really dig deep into something like that,
bro. You and your team, you and your team caught COVID for the culture, bro. For the culture, bro, for
cultural purposes, bro. Yo, how are we going to talk about it if we can't
be about it.
You know what I mean?
Exactly.
Walk the wall.
Andrew Card COVID just so he can fucking properly talk about COVID.
Bro, I put the COVID on the table just did a line of that shit up like it was nothing, bro.
Let's do it.
You know what I'm saying?
No, man, but what you're saying is true and that's why you got to take those breaks and
you got to decompress because I'm really in tune with energy and a lot of this shit is
low energy.
You know why I like doing the brilliant idiot's podcast?
We can come in here and kick this shit,
not just about the bullshit that's out there,
but just this.
Life.
This conversation.
Life.
This conversation is good for me
and what the fuck I need to be doing when I execute.
Because if we're going to have these platforms, man,
you know, I can't get into the performative shit.
That's why I don't even want you to get stuck into the show,
saves America thing.
Because what you said is very true.
This year called for that.
Yo, that's the thing.
2020 called for that.
We got to do. Now what's 2021 calling you to do?
Exactly. We got to do projects that were compelled to do, not because there's like a check
in front of us. Like we didn't work so hard to build our own platforms. You know what I mean?
And build up, build up things that we own ourselves so that we had to do projects for financial
reasons. We're very fortunate and blessed. So I only want to do things that I'll dedicate everything to.
So if 2021 requires a show saves America and there are things that I feel compelled to talk about,
then I'm going to talk to the boys and we're going to get cracking on it, you know.
But if it requires something else, then we could do that as well.
I mean, I still got the stand-up special that I'm going to put out, you know.
And then I'll be honest, Charlotte, I've been thinking about it a lot.
I want to do a film.
I want to do a film.
I want to do a film.
So I think in the next couple years,
film as well.
I mean, listen, we can
get working on that now.
You know what I'm saying? Because that's something that I'm
willing to even finance.
That's the thing. Like, part
of me feels like we could finance it.
We could do all the things for it. And then
I want to create, it doesn't have to
feel like an indie because we know how to create
top quality stuff. We have all the equipment, everything
like that. But I want
the grassroots approach that everything else
that we've done has been grassroots.
from the podcast, YouTube clips, all these things.
It's just like the people, even for the showtapes America,
that starts on Instagram or YouTube.
The people made that pop in before anybody else does, right?
So if we could create a movie,
I would love to put out like a movie every three years.
Same cast.
You know what I'm saying?
Just to tell stories.
Literally, I watch Oceans 11, 12, 13, and I go,
I have so much fun just watching these films.
Like, remember when we were kids,
there were certain things they'd just make a few of those movies.
you're like, oh, I just love existing in the world.
It was like a podcast for us in a way.
We like crews.
Say what?
You like crews.
I like the crew, man.
For real.
You do realize this year is the 10 year anniversary of Guy Code, right?
That's fire, dude.
This year, that time goes by fast like a motherfucker.
I was talking to my man Paul Ritchie.
Like, this year is the 10 year anniversary of Guy Coat.
So, you know, for everything that we're doing on TV,
when you see shows with the Netflix special,
me with the comedy center,
Shaw, any of the different iterations
you've seen us on television over the years,
it started with that.
All started with that.
With that.
It literally started with that show.
Like there was a bunch of unknown people on that show.
A bunch of unknown people
and that hating, bitter-ass man named Ashley Larry.
You know what I'm saying?
That hating bitter-ass man, Ashley Larry
was literally the biggest TV name on that show
with the time. Can we squash that
beef between you guys? Because
I'm just tired of seeing him post all the
gay shit on his Instagram. I might
have to unfollow the Instagram or muted.
I look nice in a dress.
Stop.
Come on.
Yo.
Yo, so when are we going to
stop the beef between you and Donnell?
Come on. Now, you know good and damn well that is
one-sided.
Okay. We don't ever see me to get Donnell on.
We got to get Donnell on.
He could.
Because a lot, a good percentage of his Instagram feed is dedicated to, you have two
Instagrams.
You have.
He's obsessed.
Donnell is obsessed with three people.
Okay.
Bernard McKelvie.
Joe Rogan.
And Dave Chappelle.
He posts about us more than he posts about his son.
Right.
All right.
I want him to think about that.
You post about us more than you post about your own son.
You're in good company, though, bro.
You are in good company.
Man, those are some goats.
I'm just saying.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
I've gotten, Joe Rogan told me I'm the last great radio personality.
You know what I'm saying?
Told me I'm one of the best, great compliment.
Dave Chappelle has told me the same.
You know, told me some other things that I,
I'll keep to myself.
But when they come true, I'll be like, damn, Dave Chappelle said that a lot of it is,
by the way, a lot of it has come true.
You know what I'm saying?
A lot of it.
So, yes, I'm happy to be in that company.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ashley Larry.
Okay.
So this is a safe, you think maybe this is like a safe expression of admiration.
It's easier to take down that it is to admire type of thing.
I don't know what it is, but I appreciate it.
I'm telling you, I live, take his videos and scratch his name out.
Yo, the one he did of me with the money resides face, he thought he thought he was slick.
He put the name right in the middle of the guy's chest.
I got graphic guys too, motherful.
What the hell is you talking about?
You think you're the only person out here with graphic guys?
Hey, I don't even got to say anything no more.
I send my people to video, you know what to do.
And then when I reposted and it gets all of these likes and comments and goes viral,
he gets so mad, tries to repost the video that I,
that the video he posts that I repost, he'll repost it with my caption.
Nobody cares now.
Ashley Larry, nobody cares.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Great job in soul, though.
Yeah, great job in soul.
He killed it in soul, man.
Soul was a great movie.
I'm not going to lie.
thoroughly enjoyed. So, oh, I also want to positively brilliant to the cast.
I thought it was eh. Really? I thought it was eh. I mean, it made me think a lot. I'm not
going to lie. It really made me think. And a lot of Disney movies do that through animation.
It just made me think like, oh, is there like, because I hear about, you hear about the limbo space.
Bro. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. This, yeah. I just thought it was like, actually, Alex,
is your mic on? Yeah. Did you see Soul yet? No. No. Fuck.
I'm curious to see if anybody who's been to Burning Man
thought that like it was just a rip off of Burning Man.
Explain.
Just like the whole character, that like hippie-dippy character,
the boat in the desert, that's what they do.
And burn,
man, they have these like boats that like ride around in the desert
and like being able to like become one
and meditate into that limbo space.
Also even the figurines that they were like all those different colors.
So to me it was just like, oh, someone, not a ripoff,
Like, you see this a lot.
Inspiration.
Yeah, inspiration.
You see it a lot in advertising, too.
Like, you'll go to Burning Man one year and then all of a sudden you'll see, like,
in commercials, all these, like, things that resemble all, like, the art that you went there.
But I thought the point was good.
I thought the point was good.
Like, enjoy the things that you have in life.
That's it.
Enjoy the moment.
And that's what I kept thinking about even when I was, I was like, damn, y'all, I'm going into 2021 with a blank slate.
That's how the main character in the movie was.
Like, what you're?
you're going to do it your second opportunity.
He's like, I don't know.
Like, I'm just going to go live.
You know what I mean?
I'm just going to go out there and live this life thing.
I just thought that was dope.
I thought it was a great film.
I mean, plus, I mean, I watched it on Christmas Day.
Like, you know what I mean?
Oh, shit.
Did I watch that and then go almost die?
Oh, fuck.
Holy shit.
I think I watched that and then almost died.
And I'm such an asshole.
I didn't put that shit.
together at all.
What if you did die?
No, no, come on, bro.
Stop with that.
Stop with that.
I mean, almost.
Stop with that, bro.
You said you almost die.
Stop with that, bro.
What if you was underwater?
What if you was underwater dead?
I literally, I took my nose and I just breached the surface with my nose and that's where I got my
You didn't say that part.
You didn't tell us you snuck that goddamn shoots right up in the motherfucking air.
I was like that.
Everybody thought it was a shark, bro.
People was running out the water.
There's a shark.
Get out of the water.
It's a shark.
Taylor, what are you trying to say?
I had a question about the movie, So,
you know how he escaped from the escalator thing,
like, bleeding when they got zapped.
He was able to go into that new place to, like,
mentor the other people.
Yeah.
I didn't understand how it, like,
how you were able to go to mentoring the little whatever they were
and then or whatever that escalating thing was.
He wasn't really mentoring.
He wasn't supposed to be there.
That was the whole point.
He wasn't supposed to be a mentor.
He snuck into that place.
Yeah, but I just wanted to know like how it,
how did the other mentors get there?
Like, why wasn't he allowed to go there first?
But I was a bunch of mentors there.
He was surrounded by mentors in that part.
That whole,
was nothing but mentors.
They said that.
It was like,
all these people are mentors.
I also was,
I almost didn't like the movie
because he died instantly
and I fell a type of way about it.
But then I...
He didn't die instantly.
You know what I did like about the movie?
What I thought was really cool
is I think we're starting to see this with,
I think we're starting to see this with like cartoons
and I think movies in general is
and this to me is progress.
Is like,
you're starting to see movies with minority
characters that don't...
That aren't minority stories.
Exactly.
Now, it's not...
I'm not saying we shouldn't tell minority stories.
We obviously should, right?
Just like we should tell, like,
really specific white stories.
You know what I mean?
All these types of things we can tell
if they're unique, fun stories.
But, like, that movie...
They're not stereotypical.
Boom, yeah.
Like, that movie soul, like,
it could have been a white guy
who was a jazz musician.
It didn't have to be, like,
his parents were...
At worked at, like, a dry cleaning place.
They had a dry cleaning.
They didn't make them have, like, a traditional
black family business, whatever like that.
Like, I just thought it was such a, such a cool, like, moment of progress where it's like,
here's a person of color, this movie is around them, but they're, quote, unquote, allowed to
exist in their story instead of being locked to their identity.
I love it.
That's why I love black sci-fi.
I love black horror.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, look, I don't even want to say black anything.
I love horror movies with black cast, minority cast, science fiction movies.
with black cast like I just love that shit you know what I mean it's just cool man like you know we
always talk about that like you want to talk about equality well quality is also equality of
opportunity and like circumstance and yes part of equality is like oh yeah I get to be in this
thing and I don't have to constantly be reminded who I am like there's a yeah yeah yeah yeah
it's just it's just cool to see it's just it's just cool to see I want to say what a fucking idiot
to me for trust in DC Comics.
I don't watch DC Comics.
What happened?
What happened,
I think DC comics suck,
but over the holidays,
I had three weeks off.
I literally had nothing to do.
So I was like, you know what,
HBO Max is putting out Wonder Woman 84.
I'm interested to see
how big budget films, you know,
do on these screaming services.
So I went back and I watched the first Wonder Woman.
y'all lied to me.
Garbage.
Okay.
Of course it's garbage, bro.
Come on.
Y'all only liked Wonder Woman
because D.C. sucks so bad
that they finally gave you something halfway decent.
And being that they gave you something halfway decent,
you really, really enjoyed it.
I hated the first Wonder Woman.
Before we even get to the second Wonder Woman,
you know why I hated the first Wonder Woman?
Go.
It's actually for the exact same reason I hated the second Wonder Woman.
But let's talk about this.
Wonder.
It's wonder Karen, bro.
It's wonder Karen.
It's not even as she's parents.
The day.
No, she doesn't.
That's the whole point.
She don't even save the day?
The white man saves the day.
Let's go.
I'm back in.
The mediocre white man that she falls in love with.
Yup.
Right?
He's the reason that she recognizes her full potential.
Facts.
He's the guy who ends up killing himself at the end of the movie to really save the day.
which puts her in such an outrage that she finally realizes who she is.
She comes from this land surrounded by all of these powerful women.
None of them want to tell her how powerful she is.
No, jealous.
It takes the other God, the other white man to tell her how powerful she is.
That's right.
It's just like, eh.
What you described is low-key fire.
If that's what the movie's about, then I got to watch everything because that's my favorite movie.
I didn't know that that's what it was about.
This is amazing.
This is the history of what.
Behind every great woman is a great white man.
That's what it seemed like.
I'm just saying.
Ask AOC.
And then, by the way, by the way, it comes part two.
What's the other one?
What's the other chick?
Who?
With the white man.
No, no.
Camas.
Yeah, AOC, Kamala.
Who's the other chick out of Minnesota, I think.
Serena Williams.
Who else?
Damn, yo, the sister's going after that white.
Dang, a lang.
You know what I'm saying?
Let's go.
White boys on the rise.
And then here comes part two.
Okay, go.
Part two.
Uh-huh.
The white guy who killed himself in part one.
Say it again.
Say it again.
The sacrifice the world.
Jesus.
Comes back.
Jesus.
Now, this is what pisses me off about.
It's a movie.
They make a wish for this guy's to come back.
Yep.
This guy's spirit possesses some other guy's body.
You're a Wonder Woman.
Right.
You're supposed to be so caring and so so heroic.
She's not having it, though.
You don't give a fuck about the white guys whose body got taken over?
No.
What about his family?
They don't care.
The Cairns don't care.
What about?
Karen, they don't care.
The Cairns aren't about Karen.
Okay?
Let me tell you something.
Cairns aren't about Karen.
I'm just telling you, these things are facts.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Okay?
No, it seems like that.
Yo, they didn't care about his family.
They didn't care about his life.
We don't even know who this guy was.
Then the guy that got possessed comes back at the end of the movie
because the same white guy who sacrificed himself in part one
makes the same type of sacrifice in part two.
And here goes Wonder Woman learning more of her powers.
Yes, what?
Yo, yo.
She learned to fly.
Y'all should have just played R. Kelly, I believe I can fly for that sequence.
She learned to fly because once again, the white man sacrificed herself.
Yes, she did.
For goddamn, for her greatness.
The white man sacrificed himself for the woman.
That's what we do.
We are sacrificial lambs.
In both of these Wonder Woman movies, she does not realize her full potential
or realize what she can truly do until this white man makes a sacrifice.
man gets sacrificed, right?
That's what all, look, Bible is part one.
By, what is it?
New Testament part two, bro.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Remember the dude was about to sacrifice his kid.
He was about to cut his kid in half or some shit.
And then God was like, hold up, hold on, hold up.
That's what we do.
White men, we sacrifice, bro.
No, that was the woman.
No, no, no, no, that was, that story is a woman was this hero.
Don't matter.
You don't, you'd be fucking it up.
It's, you know.
You know, it's, you know.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't know what he was paying.
Don't fuck with facts, bro.
Come on.
Don't fuck with facts.
Did you see it?
Did you see Wonder Woman?
Man, of course I didn't see it.
Man, I lived it.
That's my life, bro.
That's what I do, bro.
That's what I do.
Okay?
That's what I, the bird call.
That's what he did.
Alex see Wonder Woman?
Yeah.
Of course he saw Wonder Woman.
Some white girl and fucking bikini and shit, you know, he's going to watch that movie.
Oh, he wasn't going to miss that one.
Amazonian.
Amazonian.
Amazonian.
What did you think of it, Alex?
Nah, the second one was trash, but you're a little hard on the first one.
Nah, bro.
The first one was-
Tell me what I'm missing about the first one.
Classic film.
Classic.
I mean, like, she didn't realize her potential because the family was hiding it from her
because she knew, they knew that if she gets powerful, then Hades or whoever that God
is going to come after.
Oftentimes.
So who told her how powerful she was?
Let me tell you something.
It was like a coming of age.
May I?
I realize.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Please let me, let me do it.
You have a representative here to talk about my people.
You know what I mean?
I'm just saying this is what will happen.
Like oftentimes, right?
You come to a white man.
We will find the things inside you that you didn't even know you had.
You didn't even know you had these things.
We'll find those things and extract them and make you as great as you can be.
Trust me, it's been plenty of white police officers who have pulled drugs out of black people's ass that weren't.
That is not true, Charlemagne.
That is not.
True. We did not pull them out. We put them there in the first place. You are getting it wrong. Okay? We place the drugs. We do not take them out.
Listen, Alex, Wonder Woman was trash, bro. The first one and the second one. I don't know, man. You know what DC needs to focus on?
DC Comics needs to focus on villains. Stop trying to tell the hero stories. Y'all aren't good at that. Marvel has that sewn up. Joker, great movie.
Harley Quinn
Great fucking movie
Birds of prey
Birds of prey with Holly Cren
Great fucking movie
Now why is it great
Why is it great?
Keep it a buck
Why is it great?
I just thought it was good
I'm be honest with you
What's in it?
Holly Quinn
Also
Also
What
The white guy in that movie
Isn't it?
Nah
I mean it is but nah
Not that she's a hero
Holly Quinn is a straight villain
She don't give a fuck
If Rosie Perez is in it
I guess it's like, Holly Quinn,
Holly Quinn Burds of Prey is a great movie.
I think DC should focus on just the villain.
Tell us the stories of the villain.
You know why?
Because you realize why the villains are the way they are
from that angle.
There's never enough emphasis on villains.
It's always too much emphasis on heroes.
One of the things that Marvel does brilliantly
is they develop both sides of the story.
So DC only develops the hero.
And then the villain is like a big,
fiery monster from another planet that has no purpose but destroying the planet.
Well, why do you want to destroy the planet?
Absolutely.
Because I destroyed planets.
Well, why?
Absolutely.
So there's no stakes.
But if you develop both sides of the story, you develop the hero and the villain,
all of a sudden, as the person in the audience, you got to choose.
You're like, wait a minute, that villain, he might be doing the wrong thing, but for the
right thing in the future.
Like, Danos was so brilliant.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, when he was devising his plan, he's like, look, I've seen how it goes.
Like, it's horrible.
Everybody starts to death and dies.
I'm trying to find a way where they don't.
As a viewer, you start going, oh, shit, all right.
Maybe he's got awesome.
Danos, killmonger, like these Magneto, Magneto,
like all of these villains make sense.
You know what I mean?
And I just think, I think D.C. should just do that because y'all not going to ever get
the hero thing right.
It's just, hey, let's just keep it a buck.
Yeah, let's keep it a book.
DC just got trash heroes.
Yeah, it's just different versions of Superman,
bro.
It's Superman, water, Superman,
Superman, running fast Superman.
Rich Superman.
That's all it is.
And then rich Superman.
That's really all.
Also, how much fucking Batman probably paying taxes
almost nothing, son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
Yeah.
Bruce Wayne is fucking.
Hey, Bruce Wayne is filing taxes under Batman.
You know he is.
He's writing it off.
He's writing off all that technology.
Writing off all of Robin.
Okay.
He bought a whole orphanage.
He's writing off all them kids too.
That's all he wants is dependents.
You know how you got dependents?
Your taxes go down?
That's what the orphanage is about.
Yes.
And that shit y'all doing,
that shit y'all doing where y'all got,
they bring him back like Michael Keaton
because I guess in the next flash
is going to be like a multiverse.
But Michael Keaton is going to be like the Nick Fury.
Man, I ain't even seen it yet.
And that shit don't even sound appealing, yo.
Because at the end of the one,
the second Wonder Woman,
Linda Carter just shows up out of nowhere.
And Linda Carter's like I've been here the whole time.
Man, who's Linda Carter?
The original Wonder Woman.
The old school OG Wonder Woman.

How much you pay for a haircut, shows?
$100.
Wow.
Yake Osir says that he pays $1,000 a month in haircuts.
No, that's not true.
And the reason he says he pays $1,000 a month in haircuts
is because he says that he gives a haircut every three days.
He has his barber on call.
The barber pulls up to him wherever he's at
and cuts his hair every three day.
He just gives his barber $1,000 a month.
I might not be that bad.
bad. If he's doing that, he's got a short haircut, and also if he's paying him more,
you know what I mean? Like, my guy comes to the studio, so I want to pay him more. I wouldn't
pay that. You give him $100 because if he was in the barbershop, you know, he would probably
cut two or three people and make that money. All that kind of say, yeah, exactly. I get that.
He also did my hair for the Netflix special, man. I made sure that he was the stylist for the,
for the special. But you're not getting the haircut every three days. Not even close, bro. I haven't
got a haircut since I left. That's what I'm saying.
How often do you get a haircut?
I try to get a haircut every,
however long it takes for this hair to go on top of my ear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's probably like two to three weeks.
So I get a haircut once a week, right?
Baldi shave.
It costs me about $40 to $50.
You know what I'm saying?
That's with the tip and everything.
Yeah.
So that's like $200 a month.
There is no reason to be spending $1,000 a month in haircut.
Even if you are a YK Osiris and you want your barber to come into you every week, right?
If you give your barber $100 a week, that's still only $400 a month.
Yeah.
But you got also, like, you're not one to speak on this issue because you have no hair.
This got nothing.
But I get, I still get a haircut once a week.
Yeah, but it don't matter.
Like, you could not get a haircut and nobody cares because you got no hair.
But why can't say I probably got a cut?
He's got a great hairline.
He does.
He has an amazing hair line.
Nice hair on his head.
But I'm just saying,
and this is what pissed me off about this situation.
It wasn't pissed me off.
I wasn't pissed off. Let me take that back.
What bothers me about the situation,
he does this video.
He says he's trading in his fleet of luck.
His cars.
Yes.
He's getting rid of his Lambo and Rose Royce and everything else.
He wants to get a Hyundai.
He's tired of fucking trying to impress people that he don't even give a fuck about,
people that don't like him,
yada, yada, yada.
How do you go from now?
that the flossing about $1,000 a month in haircuts.
Low key.
That's a smart businessman right there, bro.
Explain.
You could write off a haircut.
You writing off that haircut, bro.
That haircut is part of your business.
You got to look good if you're on a gram, all these other things.
He's writing off that as a business expense.
That's nothing.
Those cars, just a depreciating asset burning holes in his bank account.
Fuck that.
It's still a waste of money, though.
And I tell people, I tell people, Ackey,
I'm not even mad at the fact if he wants to spend $1,000 a month.
I think it's a waste of money.
But don't tell us you're not stunting anymore.
Only to turn around is stunt.
Yeah, that's where it's hypocritical.
Don't go.
That's all I'm saying.
Yes, that's your issue.
Your issue ain't even the money.
Your issue is don't try to stunt.
He's trying to flex by not flexing.
He's doing the opposite flexing.
Yeah.
He's doing a stretch.
You know what I mean?
He's stretching.
He's not flexing.
I'm stretching.
So, and then all of a sudden he started to flex again, you're like,
I don't be out here stretching and flexing at the same time.
I'm with you, bro.
I don't like a hypocrite.
I don't like a.
What, Al?
He's 22 years old.
Good hairline haircut is very important at that age.
Is it?
Yeah.
Every three days, Alex.
If you had the money, think of back when you was 20, when you had a hair line, think back.
Whoa.
My show.
You saw that attack, girl?
That was an attack.
Yo, how did it?
He said hug a tree.
He said hug a tree, loser.
That was for Wonder Woman 1.
Nah, but think back to when, like, the cuts really meant a lot to us.
If you had the money, you would have had your barber every three days if you could.
Once a week, bro.
Every Friday.
Son, you was wasting money on Jordans.
You would have been wasting money on haircuts.
Come on.
Ah.
No?
The Jordan's going a lot longer.
Them Jordan go a lot farther than the heckers.
Do they?
Oh, first of all,
shout out to Bodega.
Thank you very much for giving me these.
You're very kind.
I saw that.
Very kind.
Very kind.
No big deal.
I don't know, listen, I don't know what the fuck we're missing.
Yeah.
But I'm getting mad texts and motherfuckers is like,
are y'all watching this shit?
They say Trump supporters are wildly.
Can I share my screen, Alex?
Yeah.
They said they got a plane.
Like they hijacked a plane.
I just put it in the dot.
They say they hijacked a plane to D.C.
Hold on.
Oh, Trump told him.
The storm in the capital, bro.
Like, Bain.
He told his followers to go to the capital and they did and they got into the capital.
Holy shit.
Let me see it.
Let me see it.
Hold on.
Hold on.
It's going down.
This one dude got on a fucking raccoon.
This is crazy.
What?
Hold up.
What?
Hey, I know one thing.
You let black people storm the Capitol.
You let goddamn minority storm.
You let Latino storm the Capitol and see what happened.
Look at this.
That guy.
Look, show me.
Where the fuck is the gunshots and the rubber bullets and the goddamn.
Where the dogs at, baby?
Where's Wonder Woman?
That's what they want.
Low key.
Where the fuck is Wonder Woman?
Yo, that's fucking hilarious.
But low key, that's what they want.
I bet you the whole thing.
thing is they start shooting American citizens, they start shooting patriots or whatever they call.
We're patriotic even though they can't accept the election.
Black people aren't patriots?
Of course, no, I'm not saying you're not.
Obviously, there's going to be racial discrimination here.
But I'm saying is the Trump administration wants their supporters to get shot so they can keep on going.
See what happens when they try to fight for a fair election?
No, no.
I don't think there's not, I don't think there's an American alive who would tell you if you storm the capital.
Mm-hmm.
and you get shot.
I don't think they would be like,
nah, they didn't deserve it.
You stole them to fucking Capitol, bro.
What the fuck do you expect?
I'm really shocked that you could just do that.
I know.
Is that easy to climb a wall?
Yeah, like, what's the point of building the wall?
What?
Like, I've been to the Capitol before.
I don't even know why they're scaling the wall.
You don't have to scale a wall to get to the Capitol.
Do you think that like while they're scaling the wall,
they start to realize like, oh shit, maybe that wall was a waste of money.
That's what I'm telling you.
The way I'm looking at them just climb over this wall.
Yo, somebody sent me this one.
They said on a plane from Texas to D.C., flight attendants are struggling to control a plane full of Trump supporters as they display a pro-Trump projection and harassed other passengers bound for D.C.
This seems too organized.
How could all this happen?
How could all this happen?
There's no way.
Well, no, no, they were already on standby because to,
Today is the day that Congress, that Congress made it official, Joe Biden is president.
So today is the day they voted on it.
That's why Mike Pence told Trump, like, there's nothing I can do to overturn any of it.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, they knew, they knew that they were on deck.
That's all.
And is Trump leaning into it?
They were on deck.
What is he said?
You excited.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to be honest with you.
Yeah.
My executive, the executive, listen, listen, the executive producer in me.
was feeling like
I felt like Trump was going out
kind of pussy, bro.
I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like 14 days left.
Like, come on, Trump.
We was talking about Civil War.
Where's more than I mean?
You know what I mean?
When you need her.
That's all I'm saying.
I felt like Trump was getting a little pussy.
But what I noticed Trump was doing,
he was waiting on his other production team.
He realized his other production team.
He realized they weren't fucking with him.
That's all.
Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, they all jumped off.
So Trump said, fuck that.
I'm going direct the consumer.
We're going to go.
And he started putting videos on YouTube.
He told his people, go storm the fucking Capitol.
Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, them, they pussy.
They ain't fucking with us no more.
He literally said storm the capital.
He said that.
That's what people are texting me.
I've gotten like six texts in the past 10 minutes.
He held a rally today.
So he held a rally.
I saw Donald Trump Jr.
up there trying to be his dad.
That shit was mad adorable.
I didn't know he held a rally.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He also said saying something.
He didn't actually say those words,
but he was just saying like, you know,
he's okay with what's going on right now.
Wow.
Listen, all I, yeah, my phone is going crazy.
Motherfuckers is hitting me left and right.
All I know is,
Black Lives Matter could not get away with that shit.
All right.
Ain't no fucking way.
You're not going to make me believe Black Lives Matter could get away with that shit in any way, shape, or form.
Jesus Christ.
There's no way in hell.
I'm just looking at my phone to see.
All my messages are saying shit like, yo, we're meeting at the Capitol.
Like, come on.
Where are you at?
You're at.
Where are you at?
You're fucking shit up right now.
It's going down.
Hey, that saving America shit you was talking about?
We're going on it, baby.
You got the mouse on the screen.
Listen, hey man.
That's 14 days.
I'm just 14 days.
I just want to see what's happening.
That's all.
In my mind, I was thinking that.
I didn't want to say it out loud, you know?
But now it is here.
Now it is here.
You know, it's a problem.
I'm like, yo, you know, Trump, you was moving a little pussy.
All right?
That's all.
You want to see Donald Trump Jr.
you're talking? Let me see.
All right, hold on. These guys better
fight for Trump because
if they're not, guess what?
In a couple of months.
Guys like Scott here.
These guys...
Wow.
I told you all months ago.
He's running.
The kid is running.
I told you all months ago had him
goddamn guns ready.
All right? Okay.
I told you how months ago
that owning an illegal
firearm in America when you're black is a
former self-care. I tried to fucking tell y'all.
Not even when you're black, by the way,
if you're a Democrat,
and by the way,
at a time like this, honestly, if it gets too
crazy, just take the Biden-Harris shit down
off you. You really
think it's going to get that crazy?
Bro, I don't know.
I don't know. Donald Trump was a desperate
man. They just stormed the fucking capital
building. They're on a fucking plane with goddamn
projectors, you know,
making people watch movies
about Trump.
How do they get the projector on?
the plane.
I don't know.
There's no way, dude.
I don't know, bro.
Imagine you're on that flight.
Depends how fire what their plane is.
Yeah, that's a good point.
What if the projector slats?
What if that slide shows incredible?
The only thing that would piss me off about this is if I was tired on a flight,
like, bro, I don't feel like fighting right now.
Oh, yeah.
You just want some sleep.
Uh-oh.
Hey, let's, what is this right there?
What is this?
We got one more?
Oh, now, I saw this.
This isn't from today.
So you about to mix up.
stories. I saw this earlier.
That was yesterday,
I believe. That was yesterday
when the Trump supporters were fighting with the police
officers. Watch this.
Ooh, ho-ho-hoo-hoo-hoo.
That was a good hook, though, boy.
He opened her up, too.
Stuck him. That was a good hook, bro.
He cut her. When she hit him, she opened her
up. She started bleeding.
That was a good one. That was Trump supporter?
No, that was a black woman who was
getting into it with a Trump supporter.
It was one black woman in the middle of a crowd.
with Trump supporters and she let that goddamn hook fly.
That's right.
Let's pay some bills and come back with some church announcements.
You know who told her to throw that hook?
Who?
Strong white man, bro.
Me shut.
There's strong white man by her side, bro.
Let's pay some bills.
All right, guys, we'll take a break for a second because we're not taking any of these
Bushes into 2021.

are a very important part of what we do in church.
All right.
We back.
Andrew, you got any church announcements?
I'm going to do.
You back on the road yet?
Dude, uh, well, yes, 2021, we're going to do it.
I'll announce that soon.
We still are organizing that.
But I do want to make an announcement.
The guy who co-created the Netflix series with me,
um,
and he co-wrote it.
Mark Gagnon, you know him from Flagrant.
If you've listened to Flagrant,
He opens up for me on the road.
So maybe you see his niece and very tragic story,
his niece got hit by a car.
Oh, man.
Yeah, like dragged by the car underneath it.
Oh, she alive?
She is alive, but she's in the hospital.
Thank God.
And so, you know, they did a go fund me to raise money
because it's not going to be one of those things
where, you know, you're just in and out of the hospital.
She'll probably have to be in and out of the hospital for a while.
And so I put, I'm going to put the go fund me in the link for this,
put in the link for the YouTube video. So I know everybody's stressed for money right now.
And, uh, but if you do, if you can, you know, find the kindness to, to help out, that would
be absolutely amazing. We just want to make sure that they're, uh, taking care of, uh, in this tough
time. So, uh, we'll put the link in there for the go fund me. And, uh, thank you guys so
much for your support, uh, if you, if you can. But we understand it. It's just, it's tough times.
salute to Mark. And, um, this is a perfect time since after what we just talked about
with the Trump stuff. Perfect time to plug to Mika
Mallory's book, available for pre-sale. It's called State of Emergency. You know what I'm saying? It's
called State of Emergency, how we win in the country that we built. And it's available for
free order. Wherever you buy books, you know, it's out May 11th of this year. So, pre-order,
Amazon, Barnes & Noble's Target, wherever you buy books that's available through Black Privilege,
chiming and shoots to public. So go support Tamika Mallory. Now, I want to do this quick, deep dive
real quick. I don't even know if it's going to be a deep dive. We're just going to jump in the water.
I don't know how deep this water is. Last night, we were on a group check. And, you know,
it came through that Dr. Dre had a brain aneurys. Oh, yeah.
Something I wouldn't wish on anybody. I have definitely suffered from headaches and went to the doctor
and had an MRI just to make sure, because, you know, you hear these stories about brain aneurysms
and they hit you so suddenly unexpectedly. There's not really any symptoms except for severe headaches.
and, you know, that stuff is scary.
And I'm not going to say who in the group chat.
I'm just going to say it's a group chat full of women and myself in wax.
And, that sounds fun.
One of the women said that was karma.
Whoa.
Or I guess, you know, you know, the allegations that he's put his hands on women, you know, throughout it in his life.
I will say she retracted it.
after I didn't lose it.
I just thought that it is very irresponsible and mature and illogical to say that health issues are karma.
Right.
A brain aneurysm can happen to anybody.
So I said to them, so if your grandma has a heart attack tomorrow and dies, was it her karma?
You know what I'm saying?
If your mom, God forbid, has a brain aneurysm and dies.
Is it karma?
You know what I mean?
Like, you can't say that somebody's health issue is karma.
Health issues don't discriminate.
Like, Harriet Tubman died in pneumonia at 90-something years old.
Is that karma?
Like, what are we talking about here?
Like, when do we, when do we stop this, this karma thing?
Quincy Jones has had two brain aneurysms and survived.
Is that karma?
I think I read a statistic where it's like,
17 million people a year die of heart attacks? Is that karma? What about kids that are born with
illnesses that they can't do anything about? Is that karma? Like, you can't, you got to be very
careful the way we throw certain things around. And, you know, I even saw people tweeting
things like that. That's how the conversation started, actually. The person shared a tweet.
And the tweet was like all the women that Dr. J put hands on rejoicing over his karma.
Yo, health issues are not calms. Just not. I could be wrong.
What do you think, Shilke?
I agree with you.
Yeah, I think that not everything happens for a reason, but you can find a reason in everything.
So I don't think he got a brain aneurysm because he allegedly beat women.
But I think he can look at this moment and he can go, oh, wow, maybe there are these certain unhealthy things I was doing in my life that could have caused this.
Or maybe I need to go to the doctor more and check, you know, and check myself out, et cetera.
So I think you can always learn something from everything that happens.
this idea that like everything that happens
to our lives is like predisposed.
It's like, no, everything happens to your life
is a lesson. But it's something
that, I agree with that. Something that's good
that happens to you.
Ain't all, like, that's not
necessarily karma either.
You know what I mean? Like, that might
be some luck. That might be some hard work.
That might be a whole, you know, cornucopia
of things that helped create that
outcome. Because it's good karma and
it's bad karma. But also, too, it's like,
also, things that happen to you,
you aren't always some spiritual
carmic reason.
Exactly, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
You might get into a car accident
simply because somebody wasn't paying attention.
Right.
Because somebody was,
somebody was texting and driving.
You know what I mean?
Or somebody,
you might have been drinking and driving
and got into a car accident.
Like, those are the reasons.
When you say everything happens for a reason,
yeah, because you was drunk.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Everything happens for a reason.
Yeah, because you was looking at your phone texting.
Yeah.
Like, there's always reasons
and they're not always some spiritual,
you know,
carmic thing
that we can't see.
You know,
there are tangible things
that you're doing
in your life
that cause things to happen.
And that's the thing.
It's like,
we all need explanation
for the world, man.
You know,
it's hard for us
to exist in a world
without explanation.
It's really hard for us
to see events
of catastrophic proportions
happen and go,
well, why did this happen?
Oh, because life is
I don't want to believe that.
I'd much rather believe that happens because either God wanted to happen or karma or this.
Like, it's terrifying to go through life accepting that anything could happen to all of us.
That's fucking terrifying.
And what you're saying is so true.
And what also is crazy that we have images of our heroes in our head, right?
Are these images of these rich, successful people in our head?
And for whatever reason, we think they're exempt from everyday human.
human life. Yes, Dr. Dre is a superhero in the world of music. Yes, Dr. Dre is a superhero
in the world of business. But guess what? He's still a human. And guess what happens to humans?
Humans get brain aneurys. You know what I mean? And Dr. Dre just sadly happens to be one of the
200,000 people who get brain aneurysms every year. Right. I read it. I read the statistic. It's
200, I told you, I had to go get MRI thinking I had brain aneurysms. They actually say brain
an aneurysms are pretty pretty rare.
But it's 200,000, 200,000 people get them roughly a year in America.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
He's one of the people who got one.
Yeah.
The human being.
I know he's Dr. Dre, but at the end of the day, he's Andre Young.
You got a social security number just like you.
Bleeds just like you.
He's got a heart and lungs and liver just like you.
He's a human.
Those things happen to humans.
I bet he don't pay taxes like me and you, though.
I bet he's in a different bracket, bro.
I bet he's in a different bracket.
I bet he's in a different bracket.
Yeah, daddy doesn't do.
I bet he was paying so little taxes he got a brain aneurysm.
He couldn't believe how much he was saving.
Yeah, that he doesn't do.
And you know, Taylor, Taylor was agreeing.
You know what I'm saying?
She was agreeing with the karma statement.
I definitely was not.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, your mic, everybody, your mic is so much louder than everybody else.
So if you say something, you've got to be way far removed.
and then be quiet.
Tell us to stop triggering me then.
Because that's not what I'm asking.
Take the Philly fan filter off your mic.
You fucking loud-ass Philly fan.
Start cheering for the eagles of the goddamn sixes
and you're the loudest person in the room.
All right?
You did say you agree with karma.
No, I didn't.
I just said that it depends on their past.
What makes karma?
You know what I did to shut that up, Shultz?
What's that?
I sent her an article of this white woman
who a white print.
who got fired because she said Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash was karma.
Oh, my God.
Because he had that sexual assault charged back in the day.
You know what Taylor's response was?
I want to fight her.
No, don't fight her.
You're just like her.
Oh, wow.
Taylor.
Oh, right.
That's disrespectful.
Is disrespectful to say anybody's health issue or deaf.
I didn't.
Especially when it's an accident.
It was an accident.
That was a helicopter accident.
Tell me.
I didn't say that, though.
Why do you keep saying I said the health thing?
I just said depends on someone's past
what makes what is karma.
And I didn't say him.
I'm just saying in general.
What do you mean when you say somebody?
I mean, in the context of talking about the Dr. Dre
brain adeurism thing, what did you mean?
I didn't think that that was his karma.
I said his karma was probably him having to give back
all his money to his wife,
whatever like that.
That would be the karma, not the health.
No, that's not karma either.
That's just a woman being angry.
That's just all.
That's all that is.
You know what I mean?
There's nothing.
That's it.
That's it.
All right.
Let's get into some shit
you won't care about next week.
Biblical Fox calls Young Thug and sexy cockroach.
Call him sexy.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with that.
The reason I don't have a problem with that is because none of y'all,
there's nobody in this room who's ever seen a cockroach's face.
Cockroaches might be cute, bro.
We've never been eye to eye with cockroaches and know if cockroaches are handsome or not.
When have you ever, have you ever seen a cockroach's face, Andrew Schultz?
No, you see them and you step on them from the top.
All you see is that shiny brown shell.
Have you ever looked in a cockroach's face to see if a cockroach is cute and handsome or not?
No.
No.
Exactly.
Google cockroach faces, that might be your new favorite pastime.
You know what's interesting?
You just don't know.
It's like how little we care about insects' lives.
Like, I think we care more about plants.
lives than insects.
Like if some kid was just ripping flowers out of the ground,
you'd be like, yo, what are you doing?
Like, that's fucked up.
Like, leave that alone.
If they're just chopping down trees,
you chop down trees in the Amazon,
we're just like, hey, we need to add for oxygen,
this, that, the other.
If you see any insect, it is perfectly reasonable
to just step on it with your foot
or squash it or do anything.
We treat bugs the way white people treat black trespasses.
I knew you were going to go here with this.
I knew it.
no reason.
I just knew it.
You have no reason to be here.
And just your mere presence in this house dictates me to take your life.
Say it, Andrew.
Say all bugs matter.
I'm not saying.
Say it.
Say it.
All flies matter.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
This guy is so crazy.
Um, what else?
I think, I think, let's do some asking idiots.
Let's do ask an idiot and get up out of here.
But we need you to speak very quietly, Taylor.
And let's do asking an idiot and get up out of here.
Wait, you guys are missing.
You didn't want to talk about anything else.
What else is there?
What?
I mean, about, um, the, you didn't think about the weekend in his music video, how he changed his face.
But he didn't really change his face.
that's not what he really looks like now, right?
That's all prosthetics and shit.
And I guess he looks like Ari Fletcher's a brother to me.
No, he don't.
That's that that jigsaw Snapchat filter.
That's that goddamn, what's that character?
And saw Jigsaw, right?
That's that jigsaw Snapchat filter.
By the way, I saw that.
And I'm 42 years old, bro.
I grew up into Michael Jackson era.
But you know what I'm saying?
He's not really a face change.
Did he do it or did he not do it?
I don't know.
think he, I don't think he was wearing that thing around his face.
So I guess it was all just publicity sent.
I mean, I love the wall game.
My God.
Exactly.
Like, we don't know what's going on here.
Like, this is all theater.
It's theater.
It's a performative.
I got to do better, man.
I got to really start fucking with people.
I'm not fucking with people to know.
Could people fall for anything nowadays, bro?
Yeah.
Maybe that can be your 2021 goal.
Just to fuck with people and see how it goes, right?
This fuck with people.
Fuck this truth shit.
Yeah.
Why you got to tell the truth all the time, bro?
I got time for that shit, yo.
Feed people what they want.
But once again, I grew up into Michael Jackson era,
so this ain't really a face change to me.
Like, eh, I've seen worse.
Do you care about Bobby Smerda?
Bobby Smerda be home February 23rd, allegedly.
Hey, Black History Month, let's go.
That's dope.
He does.
Eminem.
Oh, you know what?
Shit you won't care about next week.
Oh, Eminem.
Eminem.
Eminem got to stop, Eminem got to stop, bro.
Why?
Eminem got to stop.
What's happening?
Because Eminem, Eminem, bro, you, Eminem has been the bully in hip hop for so long.
He's always said what he wanted to say about people.
He had some of the craziest lyrics in regards to people.
You know what I'm saying?
And when somebody says you're not on my top 10 list, you get upset and say you didn't like the person's tone.
their fucking tone.
Eminem,
have you heard your tone over the years?
Yeah.
Stop it, man.
I don't like people like that,
yo.
It's like,
yo,
if you're gonna beat a bully,
you know what I mean?
Because I don't like people,
I don't like,
I don't like when it's no,
like it's no fun when the rabbit got the gun, right?
Not saying Snoop is not a rabbit at all.
Snoop is Snoop is Snoop Dog.
All I'm simply saying is Eminem,
you've given it to people hard over the years.
All Snoop said was,
objectively you deserve to be on people's top ten list
because of your work with Dr. Dre, but you're just not on his.
So what?
He said that your music is music that he can live without.
So what?
And by the way, that's been the general consensus of Eminem for a long time,
especially in the circles I run in.
I acknowledge Eminem as a dope lyricist,
as a phenomenal lyricist.
He's great.
But I don't relate to his music.
Yeah.
I'm not taking that Eminem and saying to put that while we're on the boat in Cabo.
I'm not at the house, you know what I'm saying, say, throw that M and M on.
I'm not in the car like throw that M and M and that's not a diss to M.
The guy is one of the biggest rappers of all time.
I just don't rock with it.
I appreciate him for the things he's done with hip hop.
I like how he helped Dr. Drake get to bring his career back to prominence.
I love him introducing the world, the 50 cent and G unit, the D12 stuff, all of that.
But come on, bro, stop being so sensitive.
You're M fucking M, bro.
You can't be that one of it.
You can't dish it all of these years
And then when somebody gives it to you, you're not taking it down.
The sensitive, tough guys.
Man.
All the worst.
I don't like that.
But that's low key, all rappers.
Like, I don't really know any rapper who's not sensitive.
Like, they're always crying about something.
Somebody said this about me and this person made this joke.
Like, Duval will even tell you, he's like, yo, rappers are the most sensitive.
If I post one thing about them, they're fucking crying, texting, all this type of shit.
So I think it's because, like, at the end of the day,
rappers are artists and artists are usually pretty sensitive.
I hate that with comedians, too,
and comedians get all sensitive about shit.
Oh, my God.
Like, come on.
That's why I be, that's why, that's why I don't,
that's why that's why hating ass Ashley Larry is annoying.
Yeah.
It's like, yo, you can't be a comedian and be sensitive,
like, yo, let them jokes fly and do your thing.
Because as soon, because listen,
I'd be sparing that, brother.
Because I know he's sensitive.
I'm saying now if he, when he calls me and texts me,
I give him that real shit.
In public, I don't, because I know he's sensitive.
And I don't want to hurt his fin.
That's all.
And I don't want people to look at him fun.
Yeah, if you're full anarchy going on in D.C.
Right now.
You know, they're breaking windows.
They fighting police.
They're taking doors off the hinges.
Wow.
Wow.
If it's black lives matter, all of us will have been dead right now.
You Black Lives Matter now?
I'm just saying I'm part, I am with Black Lives Matter.
That was seeing you at a protest.
Whoa.
I've been at a protest.
Don't do that.
Liar.
Where's the Instagram picture?
Stop triggering me because I'm just going to sound like.
You're trying to tell me that you post about everything,
but you didn't post about being in the Black Lives Matter protest?
I did.
Where's the picture?
Show me.
Oh, I'll show you.
Put it up on the screen.
Put it up on the screen.
All right.
I need to see you at a BLM protest.
I've never heard this.
my life, okay?
You've never said this.
And Meek Mill contracts don't count.
When Meek Mill was locked up, if you was out there in front of that jailhouse singing
the intro, that don't count.
Don't show us that.
Hold on, honey, wait.
Put it up on the screen.
I want to see.
I am.
And then we do something.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I have to change my filter.
Nah, you don't really.
Shut up.
Okay.
Black guys aren't.
So.
Get your fuck out of here.
That's goddamn bike week somewhere.
That's the bike.
If you don't get the fuck out of here.
Post it again.
Post it again.
I go to Myrtle Beach Black Bike Weekend when I see it.
Hey, that's Hampton's homecoming.
No way seen.
You got to get off, Taylor.
Get out of here.
You know, I can't believe you.
You know, that was she gave us a little peek and then pulled it away.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Where is that?
Hampton Homecoming.
Is the Barclay Center?
Okay.
You just went to one?
You just went to one?
You just went to one?
Yeah, because they were some little equity.
Yeah, you just went to one.
That's it.
Ha!
You know what I'm saying?
Your boy was out here.
Your boy was out here at them Black Lives Matter marches, yo.
You know what's some activities?
Well, wait, wait, I just have two more, two more.
Pictures?
Because I don't know for myself.
Are we okay with Nancy Pelosi winning re-election?
She's always going to win re-election.
They do that specifically.
She never leaving government.
So she wants to.
I don't even think nobody ran against her.
They don't, bro.
Did anybody run against you?
I don't even know how that works.
I don't know.
They put her in a district where she can't lose, man.
Come on.
And then.
Hakeem Jeffries is going to run for that seat to speak at the house one day
once Nancy Pelosi retires or passes away.
I don't know how that works.
And then we got, Taylor.
Are you cool with Bieber
telling to be minister for a Hillsong church?
He said that's not true.
Oh.
Oh, I didn't see it.
Go ahead.
He said that's not true.
Yo.
Islam is the way, bro.
Islam is not true.
I like Justin Beaver.
I like Justin Beeph.
Justin's a great guy, man.
Justin is a good white guy.
Justin got the never.
Netflix special mate.
I know.
Have you ever told that start?
I don't know.
But Justin was showing Scooter, his manager, my stuff.
And he's like, yo, Justin's been a big supporter of mine.
And he's been like, he's like, yo, you got to see this kid.
The Scooter was like, oh, this is great.
We started talking.
And then we're like, yeah, let's make it happen.
And the Scooter got that done over Netflix.
Justin's a good guy.
I'm not going front, man.
This guy's like Justin.
You know who else intrigues me?
Who's that?
The Kennedys and all of their doing.
just like the Shriver's like Maria and Tim Schreiber.
You want to talk about some bad luck, bro.
Holy shit.
That family is riddled with it.
Riddled.
Is it just life?
Bad luck.
You know what I mean?
I'll tell you why I say that.
Look at somebody like Diddy and all of the things that have happened around Diddy.
I mean, both of those, you know, both Diddy and the Stryvers, Kennedy's, they're wealthy, beyond belief.
You know what I'm saying?
I just think sometimes it's life, man.
You know how the Kennedy's made that money, though, bro?
Uh-uh.
You don't know how they made their money, man?
Uh-uh.
Come on, bro.
Bootlegging, dog.
How all the American families make all their money doing some illegal shit?
What's wrong with bootlegging?
It was illegal.
Alcohol was illegal at the time.
What do you mean?
New York City's prime source of commerce is bootlegging.
Yo, this is back there in prohibition.
Chris knows about it.
Chris.
It's too loud.
Just step away from the mic a little bit.
You should be good.
What's wrong?
Yo, you don't even, you're not even hot if people are not bootlegging your shit.
Go, go, go, go, go, Chris.
True story.
The grandfather Joseph Kennedy, he ran, uh, gung from Maine to the East Coast.
He got all his money illegally.
Gangster, though.
He's like, Joe's a real gangster.
What was he selling?
Alcohol.
He's selling alcohol.
There's illegal.
That's how he made all his money.
Come on.
I'm from the country, bro.
Like my dad is a real guy.
daddy's had an illegal juke joint
his whole goddamn life.
What the fuck is?
Who gives a fuck about a liquor license?
You know what I mean?
I got time for that shit, man.
You know what I mean?
You got to get this fucking money.
You never bought liquor from the moonshine lady?
Maddie when you underage,
what you think you're buying liquor from?
I just think it's funny.
I just think it's funny that like you see
these people they're like
criticize the JZs of the world
and shit like that.
They're like, oh my God, how could this gangster
go end up being like
this drug dealer end up being like a respectable citizen.
It's like, yo, why don't you look at all the libraries and all the colleges that you go to
and see they're all named after motherfuckers' families who used to either sell opium to China,
sell alcohol when it was illegal?
It's like, that's how, low-key, you want to end that billionaire class?
Or sell black people.
We didn't have to say that, bro.
Like, why we had to go there?
Why we got to go all the way over there, bro?
You know what I mean?
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
Well, no, that was legal.
Sell them back in a day.
Selling black people was legal.
That was, that was, that was legal.
I'm just saying it's a fine line.
It's a fine line.
Like when these, I'm not saying that you can't make it in other ways.
There are plenty of people who made it in other ways.
You can't make it legit.
But there are plenty of people who put on these airs of austerity,
the elites, if you will.
And they came from the streets just like everybody else doing the most grimy shit to get on.
A lot of Gatsby's out there.
Is that fair to say, Chris, or am I being cynical?
Oh, sure.
I mean, the biggest example right now is the Sackler family.
Oh, yeah. Oh, huge. Yeah. I mean, you go to Carnegie Hall, you go anywhere around New York City.
You're going to see, you know, Sackler on the side of the buildings, but they're the family probably most responsible for the opioid epidemic in America.
They were selling fentanyl, right? Fentanol is their drug?
Oxicon was their, you know, I think the actual company name was Purdue. They put it under a company name Purdue.
Well, let me ask a question. If they're putting it on the market for the right,
reasons, but people are using it for the wrong reasons. Is it their fault? Well, what,
what happened was that's, that's the argument they've made. What the investigations have found is that
behind the scenes, they were pushing doctors to overprescribe it. And they were also kind of playing
with the stats and claiming it was non-addictive when, in fact, as we now know, now, it's incredibly
addictive. So they were playing both sides of a coin. There's this Indian dude that 60 minutes did a
a whole like expose on him.
There's this Indian doctor who,
I don't know if he created fentanyl, like was part of like the owner of the company
that was putting it out.
And essentially,
I think he's being put to jail for like three to ten years.
He should be shot in his forehead.
But he basically had this whole rap where he would pay doctors to do these speeches,
right,
at these conferences.
That's right.
Because you can't pay a doctor directly to prescribe a drug to somebody,
but you can't put them on these speaking.
tours where they're getting 50,000, 30,000, whatever it is, and they know how to keep
themselves on those speaking tours, and that's by prescribing the fentanyl to these patients.
And then what he would do is he'd keep a list of how much they were prescribing to each
patient, and then email all the doctors like, yo, he was on 10 milligrams, now you need
to bump them up to 20.
Now you need to bump.
They were creating addicts and creating these people who would overdose, and then when they
can't get any more fentanyl, they go to heroin, all this other shit.
I mean, it's disgusting, bro.
That motherfucker is disgusting.
You want to talk about karma.
I just want the record to show that I was just going to give white people props
and talk about how I'd like Justin Bieber and the Kennedy's and the Shriver's entreat.
That guy's Indian.
That's not on us.
And the Kennedy and the Shriver's intrigued me because they're like genuinely good white people
who always seem to care about others even though they're elite.
And y'all just spent five minutes shitting all white people.
Yo, all I got to say is, you know, you might be.
be giving back and doing all that philanthropy
because you're making up for some fuck shit.
I don't know.
If you know how your family made the bread,
you don't think you feel a little bit guilty about it.
You live in this lavish life.
Every single one of us have done something crooked.
Bro, my parents sold salsa lessons.
Illegally.
They have a license.
They have, was that studio?
Hey, listen, was that studio a licensed studio?
Was that a legitimate business?
or did your mom just know how to dance?
So she decided to make some money.
You want to know the takeaway from this shit?
My mom would always tell me this, man,
and we're so fucking lucky.
Like, she'd be like, you go out to these shows,
you make people laugh.
You're so fortunate.
And I'm like, yeah, I know, I'm so lucky.
I got the best job in the world.
She goes, no, no, no, no.
Like, for a living, you get to do something
that makes people feel good and is ethical.
There's a lot of people out there that they're like insurance agents
and they got to go show up to your, you know,
when your house gets flooded.
and go, ah, it was your fault.
You got to pay for it.
Sorry.
Like, it's not that they're bad people, but they're to make a living,
forced to do this thing.
That probably makes them feel bad.
Like, how lucky are we?
We get to do this.
And the people listen, they enjoy.
They laugh.
Like, sometimes they get angry, but they feel good feelings, man.
What about the people you hurt?
They were.
They do comedy as well.
Fuck them.
They could die.
See, my God.
All right.
Hey, listen, I know they're wilding in D.C.
Right.
No, they're allowed to tell that.
Little Duval text me.
Duval text me and said,
they're wilding in D.C.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Living my best life.
They said,
my son,
they said that they said that
they asked for like,
or should we call the guards
and everything else?
And they're like, nah,
like, they're good.
DZ.
Get the fuck out of here, y'all.
I'm telling you,
if that was Black Lives Matter,
it would be no way in.
We dated.
We were.
be dead.
Can you give us some?
You wouldn't be dead, Taylor, because you wouldn't be there.
You wouldn't be there.
Taylor, give us.
You wouldn't skip that shit.
Give us some asking idiots, Taylor, so we can get out of here, please.
All right.
I want to go see this good-ass fucking production.
It's popping on YouTube right now.
YouTube is cracking.
Really?
Oh, and it's underscore Lynn, not underscore Lynn,
wants to know how hard is it to ignore the people who feel like you owe them
something when you put in the hard work to get where you are in life.
Yeah.
Like,
owed you something.
Like, who thinks?
Yes.
Yeah.
But, like, who are you talking about?
Who's saying that?
Hello, Taylor.
Who's saying, like, that they're owed?
I don't know.
Just people, I guess, in your past, whatever I did?
I don't have nobody.
I don't have nobody telling me I owe them anything because guess what?
I don't owe a mother.
little fucking shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know my parents, bro.
That's it.
Just my parents.
But you guys never felt like the maybe like bitterness of someone that you thought was
your friend or not and like y'all not friends no more.
What do you mean?
Just like.
It sounds like two different things.
Like I don't.
It sounds like somebody owes somebody money, bro.
That's what really sounds like is happening over here.
And that guy who asks the question should pay that money back.
That's really what it is.
Okay, well, next question.
Ken West 91 says,
why the fuck do people have a hard time understanding
white culture is European culture
and American culture is still being created
that is a mixture of everyone else.
It's not appropriating, it's appreciating.
Well, let me defer it to the white guy on the show with this one.
Okay, so white culture is European culture.
Well, yeah, I think American
culture is unique in that it does have influence from all these other parts.
Like, how much a cowboy culture has been influenced by, like, Mexican or Native American
culture, you know, like, I mean, the cuisine, I mean, I'm sure.
Yeah, I think he's saying it in a weird way, but ideally, I would love everybody
is part of the fabric of America to feel entitled to everything that comes out of America.
And we could recognize that certain groups might have developed.
this thing, but we can also go, hey, this is for all of us because we're all a part of it.
And I think you guys have to speak to this, but I think when everybody feels equally a part
of it, then I think they'll feel like we could share.
But when you don't feel like you're getting what's due to you, it's harder for you to share
with other people.
Is that close?
Yeah, it's never going to happen, though.
And the reason it's never going to happen because the one thing that America has, that I think,
is different and unique is capitalism.
So, you know, black people,
even though we do have a lot of the shared same experiences,
you'll have black people who aren't in certain financial positions
who'll say, y'all don't understand, you know what I'm saying?
And it's the same thing with white people, you know,
like even though we think white people have this certain level of privilege,
there's always people that are way more privileged and way more elite.
You know what I'm saying?
than the average white person that's just walking around in this country.
So I don't think it'll ever, I don't think we'll ever be on equal playing fields in this country.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Maybe we won't feel like we're on equal playing fields,
but like maybe we'll just get closer to a moment where we can feel like we can share
in each other's traditions and each other's contributions.
That would be really dope.
That would be cool for all of us all to just look at different art forms and be like,
yeah, this is an American thing.
Like to look at stand-up comedy and be like, no, stand-up comedy wasn't created by whoever the fuck created it.
I'm sure you can go back to like Greece with it.
But maybe who pioneered stand-up, who knows, right?
Maybe it's some Jews in the Catskill Mountains.
Maybe it's whoever knows.
We could look into the history book and see.
But it'd be cool for us to just go, no, stand-up comedy is an American art form.
Like we made that here in America and we all contributed to it, white people, black people, everybody.
And that's why it's so fucking dope.
And that's why our stand-up comedy is the best because it comes from the most unique experience.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know when you do realize, it's going to sound fucked up,
but you know when you do, and I'm not,
this clearly doesn't happen everywhere,
but you do feel that a lot of times when you,
when you go out to country and you go to places
where it's like money being spent,
you know what I'm saying?
Like when you're on these exclusive resorts
or on these exclusive properties or on these exclusive places
where it's just people with money,
it seems like it's a different sense of equality.
because people will speak to each other.
Everybody knows they're there because they're in a certain tax bracket.
And if they're not in a certain tax bracket,
they're there with somebody in a certain tax bracket.
You know what I mean?
Yo, dude, it's a different sense of equality,
but it's also how inequality happens organically.
I had this exact thought.
I'm at this fancy resort, obviously, in Hawaii,
in the island of Lanai.
It was absolutely beautiful.
and because of how expensive it is,
the barrier to entry is very high.
So anybody going there can, is probably doing pretty well
or they got their money handed down to them, right?
But because of what you said,
everybody in there is willing to talk to you
because you're not someone who's trying to get something out of them.
You're someone who also is probably quite successful
and they might want to get something out of you.
Or it's a mutual contribution to what is going on.
So everybody's looking at you at an even playing field.
You know what I mean?
And you want to know who's who.
And you might want to know who's who.
But what happens is you start talking to these people, right,
who are successful in their field.
And they start sharing information with you because that's what people do.
We share information with each other.
And now information of successful people is being transferred back and forth.
And when that happens, do you know how many investment opportunities come out of that?
How many deals come out of that?
The rich keep getting richer, but it's not by some nefarious plot to keep poor people down.
It's literally just by hanging out with other successful rich people.
And I was like, oh, fuck, this is how rich people get richer.
And the poor people don't because poor people aren't given these opportunities.
And I kept thinking, I was like, how do you put poor people in these situations so they could also benefit from something like this?
That's access.
That's access.
And it's a different level of access.
That's financial access.
You're not going to put a poor person at a four seasons result.
somewhere because they're poor. They can't afford to be there. Exactly. So it's like it's this restrictive
thing and it's yeah, it made me really excited when I was having the conversations, but a little part
of me was bum because I was like, man, there's so many people that aren't going to be able to have
this. And then this is just to wrap it up, I go, holy shit, how amazing our podcast. For the first
time of history, the poor person has access to the most brilliant business minds, intellectual
minds in the world through all these podcasts.
That's everything.
Podcasts, YouTube, social media, all of it.
All that kind of stuff.
You would never have access, but now,
or you'd have to read maybe their book.
You wouldn't even know who they are,
but now you have the most access in history.
So maybe there it is.
Maybe that's how a spark can get lit
and somebody's a little bit less fortunate financially
and they can, you know, crack it up.
Come with them.
Nope.
That's when, you know, you just hope somebody who's, you know,
not doing well less fortunate can just end up
where the money resides, where the money resides,
Where the money resides.
Where the money resides.
Where the money resides.
Where the money resides.
Where the money resides.
Where the money resides.
First of all,
Joe,
is there a way offbeat.
First of all,
don't you disrespect that white man.
Okay.
Who is that?
You would be judgmental.
If he was on beat,
you'd be surprised.
If he's offbeat,
you can't act surprised too,
Taylor, Swift.
Okay.
All right, that's it, right?
One last thing with all this.
going on.
Provada,
one wants to know
what the fuck is going on with our,
or what the fuck is going on
with our country
and how can we fix it?
And first of all,
that question is too
multi-laying.
It's so,
it's so many things wrong
with the system of America.
You know what I mean?
So it's just,
it's just, that's too much
of a multi-laying question.
Can we fix it?
Can we fix America?
Honestly, I, I don't,
I don't know because I don't know.
I mean, the only reason I say I don't know, because I don't know if it's, put it like this.
It's broken, but it's also working for the people who designed it.
So it's working perfectly okay for the people who designed it.
You know what I mean?
You know, you're broken for a lot of other people?
You know how everybody in America, like, you know how everybody listening to this podcast
earlier was hearing us complain about like our tax bracket and shit and like what we got
to pay in taxes?
That's how the world feels when Americans complain about America.
that's where the people
and they're like,
wait, what?
That's what?
You say America's broken?
They just locked up
the richest man in China.
Jack Ma is locked up.
Maybe he's murdered.
Maybe he's gone.
Nobody knows.
He was the richest man in China.
They said,
adios, sayanara.
Yeah, but those are people
who don't understand
the inside out of America
in a real way.
You know what I mean?
And by the way,
we're speaking from a place of
absolute privilege.
We're speaking from a place of absolute
being good financially.
You know what I mean?
I tell people all the time,
just come to any poor community, bro.
Whether it's the hood,
whether it's a rural area in the south,
full of white people like,
nah, man.
Like, the gap between the halves
and the have-nots in America is really big
and it's all the way fucked up.
And I just think that,
honestly, man, we got to come to the table
and rebuild
because the country,
country was built on this thing called white supremacy.
It was built from a place of bigotry.
Whether it's business, whether you call it business or whatever it was, it was not an all
inclusive thing.
I say this all the time.
America advertises itself as an all inclusive resort, but it's not.
You know what I'm saying?
It's really for the elite.
I don't even think it advertises itself as that.
All inclusive means you get everything once you come here.
America's like, nah, you got to work for this.
And even if you work for it, that shit might be tricky too.
Let me ask you a question
That resort you stayed at in Hawaii
Would you stay there
If you saw every single motherfucker
Being allowed in
If you saw what
If you saw every single
motherfucker being allowed in
Oh if you saw anybody allowed there
Yeah
Just people being allowed to come in
Would you stay there?
It's not what I paid for
Exactly
It's not what I paid for
Okay
It's not what I paid for
That's all I'm saying
Man
America is
Bro.
A white supremacist.
Can I tell you something, bro?
Yes.
I was at this resort, bro.
They were treating me so well, bro.
They would treat me so well,
Charlomaine, bro.
It was actually amazing.
It was treating me so well, bro.
They knew my name.
Everybody at the resort knew my name.
Every single person knew my name.
I love it.
Everybody knew my name.
They were so kind.
Help me with absolutely anything
I could possibly want.
I love it.
I started thinking that they thought I was someone else.
I was like, fuck, I think they think I'm someone else, bro.
By the way, we don't, go, go, go.
I was going to say, we don't give the hospitality industry enough credit because there's certain places you go.
That's why I love going to Anguilla.
Anguilla's number one source of economy is tourism.
When you're at these places, they have to give you top-knock service.
It's life for death.
Because that's how they make their money.
Bro, I'm telling you, man, the service was so elite, bro.
I started getting real anxiety that I was something.
Then I found out that because tourism has been hit, obviously everybody's down.
Tourism is down, you know, most of the places.
And last year they had Bruce Willis at the resort.
And this year they had Andrew Schultz.
So,
Ooh.
Last year they had die hard.
This shit they got try hard.
Shit ain't working out.
Shit ain't working out like they want it.
Trust me.
They don't want to be knowing my name.
They want to be ignoring the fuck out of me.
They want to be listening to my calling going,
yep, sorry, the restaurant is full.
Bruce and the family are out there.
Go beat it.
I was like, how tragic for y'all that I'm the famous person this year.
We need to open a country.
country back up, bro.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you who was where I, I'll tell you who I was at.
I'll tell you who was there after we get off the podcast.
A word?
A word?
DmX.
I might be Illuminati, bro.
Say what?
On the low.
I might be Illuminati on the low and don't know it.
I might be and don't know it.
But the moral of the story is to answer your question, Taylor.
I don't know.
All things are possible through white Jesus who scrimfes us.
God bless. Amen and A women.
That's right.
Which is ridiculous.
Amen and A women. That's what I'm saying from now on.
I've heard people say that before, but I mean, I get why they're saying it, but I don't get why they're saying it.
You don't think that A men derive from men?
No.
This is how it's true.
No, it doesn't.
It actually means something.
Hold on.
Let me look it up what it means.
It means we're done.
It means this rap.
That's it.
It's over.
Amen.
Let's get out of here.
Amen.
Let's go have some brunch.
Amen.
Amen in Hebrew means.
So be it.
Certainty or certainly.
Yes.
Is it so or so be it?
So be it.
That's what amen means.
So be it so or be it so.
Amen is commonly used after a prayer creed or other formal statement.
It is spoken to express solemn ratification of our agreement.
It means is it so or so it be.
Amen is derived from the Hebrew.
I mean, which means certainty, truth.
And barely.
Like, come on.
Yeah.
We're going to have a great summer.
Amen.
Amen.
Can I get an amen?
Can I get a you agree with me?
That's who it is.
All right.
All right.
And as always,
as always,
if you listen to this podcast,
you think we're smart,
you think we're intelligent,
you think we're brilliant.
You're absolutely right.
If you listen to this podcast,
you think we're just a couple
idiots who don't know shit.
You're absolutely right too.
It's the brilliant idiot's podcast.
