Andrew Shultz. We are the brilliant idiots podcast. Thank you for joining us for another motherfucking week of brillianness and idiotness, whatever you want to call it. We might as well get right to it. We can start this week off by

saying what we saw that was positively brilliant. What we saw that made us say, what a fucking idiot. Where do you start, Andrew? Why don't you start? Because I'm only focused on one, what a fucking idiot right now, and I think that we're probably going to avoid that.

you got one person in mind for what a fucking idiot who's the one person oh now you want to talk about it now you want to talk about because we decided not to talk about it before the podcast because you're talking about you don't do no prep you said we don't do any prep on this show we don't do prep about we don't do some post we didn't have any pre games

we do some post we didn't have no pregames we don't have no pregames we don't have no pregames a couple layup lines, Charlotte. There was a couple layup lines going on for the game, okay? You just got the itch. You just got the itch. You want to talk about it.

And it wasn't just layup lines. We were catching out. I don't know, man. Listen, here's the thing. I feel like you got a shooter's hand. I feel like you might have, I don't want to. I don't want to bitch shows. You know, listen, maybe you got to call some ISO plays.

I don't, you know. You want to run some ISO? Fuck the triangle, give it to me in the post. But I would rather, I would rather you hear it, though. Yeah, I got to hear it first. Yeah, I want you to hear it. I want you to hear it. It's not going anywhere.

It'll be a little topic for a minute, especially in this little podcast world. I want you to hear it first. Yeah, exactly. Because I just got the cliff notes of it, but I need to hear it. Yeah, I want you to hear it. But then I have to listen.

It's worth it. It's kind of worth it. Is it though? Eh? Is it though? A little bit. Nobody got any clue what we're talking. That's fine.

That's fine. But at the same time, that's fine. Everybody knows exactly what we're talking about. That's fine. That's fine. I will say this. What a fucking idiot. NBC News.

Mistaking, Usay and Boat with Kevin Hart. Listen, I know we're in a volatile time. I know racism and bigotry is at all time high. But we don't have to bring back the old tropes like all black people look alike because it has to be in the same ballpark. If you mistake me and Kevin Hart, fine. I get it. You mistake me in, anybody in the same height bracket?

I get it. That could, that had to be paid for, bro. Somebody paid for that. You can't make that mistake, dude. Because that implies that the person that was doing that does not know who Kevin Hart is or Usain Bolt. And I don't believe that person exists. You just called him Usain.

What? Usain is somebody that the Trump's want to take out in Iraq probably. It's Usain Bolt? Usain. Usain. It's Usain Bolt, bro. Yousane. I think it's Usain Bolt.

I don't know. You might be right. Who knows? It's Usain. How is it was Usain? It doesn't have a Y in the front. It's U.S.A.m. I'm going to be honest with you.

I don't know if it's Usain or Usain. Because people say it too fast. Usain Bolt. Usain boat. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo.

I hate him. Wow, bro. Wow. Yeah, we just watched Charlotte turn to a grandfather right now in front of our eyes, bro. Holy shit. By the way, they said that it was a... Hey, slow down, young man. You're saying his name too fast.

Get it? Saying you saying... All right, never mind. They said it was a glitch, though. And our other producer at the Breakfast Club said, like, it does happen. It does happen, what? A glitch in what? In your...

He was saying the glitch in the program or whatever. Like, if, however they do it, if the image doesn't match up with their format, then it'll go to... They use another image of a black guy. Basically. Yeah, that's crazy. Because you can't post any old image. Like, it has to be an image that's being cleared because they can sue you and shit like that. I still don't understand how you mistake you saying both for Kevin Hart,

but this is the reason why I purposely mistake all white people. I do it all the time. It's amazing. I love to say Elton John is in the Beatles. I love to say Sting is like the last living beetle. I do it all the time. I mistake Channing Tatum for Neil Patrick Harris. I do shit like that just because, just because.

I might be like, you know, Channing Tatum. I'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Dugie Hauser. Right. Just do it. Just do it to piss people. And then how do we react about it? Um, it depends who it is. We don't care, right?

No, no, that's not true. If I say, if, nope, if I say Sting is in the Beatles, whoo, that can cause a fight. If I say Elton John is the last living beetle, that can call the fight. Nobody's fighting over the Beatles, Charlemagne. People love the Beatles. Oh, that's right. Because you said something, who was bigger than the Beatles?

What did you say? Oh, I didn't start that. I don't think I started that. I think D.D.S. I think D.S. Sway Lee or something. like that. The Migos.

Raysingos are bigger than the Beatles. Oh, the Migos are bigger than the videos. Yeah, yeah. Jesus started that. Diz started that back in the day. Yeah, and people got upset. Woo. It was freaking articles and like Rolling Stone and variety.

Really? Like, we were really discussing history. Like, they was really, really, really, really upset. That's how many white people watch Vice. No, this is before Vice. Oh, really? Yeah, this is when Jesus was, Jesus and Meryl was just on social media.

Oh, yeah. They were masters of that shit. Oh, they were the best. Come on. They were the best. They were the best. They were the best. Listen, Desus is like,

Jesus is one of the few. Not even one of the few. This is the only black person I know who got on pretending to be white. Like, like, I'm not talking about like, you know, being a, like an uncle Tom type, like, you know, doing white people's bidding. Like, Jesus was really pretending to be white. It was one joke. It was one joke. But they thought he was white.

His avatar. Because his avatar was never a person. It was like a dog or something. I don't remember what the picture was, but he would talk like a black guy. And then one day he revealed himself. He was white. And Twitter lost it.

Lost it. Lost it. Yo, you know how good of a troll? You know how much of a troll you have to be? Oh, that's brilliant. That you don't even care about getting credit for the troll. It's just getting you off. That's the greatest prank.

I ever told you that how I got pranked by that chef For that cooking show guy? No, what happened? I never told you this story Where I was leaving where we used to record the podcast And there was a guy who does, it was like Adam eats anything What's that fucking show called? Where he just eats the weirdest food

It was one of those cooking show things, right? Okay. And I recognized him on the way out And I was with a couple of my guys. And I said, I was like, oh dude, we're about to go get some food man, do you have any, like, great restaurant recommendations in the city? He's like, all right, I got you. I'm going to hook you up with the best thing, right?

So he gives me these three restaurants, right? He goes, you got to go get the Lomo Salato at, you know, blah, blah, blah, whatever his fucking name is. Nah, not, a different guy. So Adam Richmond, right? I think he was man, oh, it might have been a different guy. But still, it was one of those guys, right? Anyway, so he gives me these three different restaurants, right?

We go to this one restaurant. We ask for the Lomo Salato. We sit down, they're like, sorry, this is a vegan restaurant. I go, what? He goes, yeah, it's a vegan restaurant. I go, I know it's the off-menu, Lomo Salgado, the off-menu. They're like, we don't have an off-menu. We don't have the fuck we're talking about.

I'm like, oh, that's weird. So we go to another restaurant, right? He goes, you got to go to the five napkins burger, and you ask for the off-menu sushi, right? So we're in the five napkins burger. Bring a banana. Oh, yeah. We have to go to the five napkins burger,

ask for the off-menu sushi. But before you give them the order, you have to give them a banana. So we go to a fucking deli. We buy three bananas each. The waiter comes to the table and we're like, listen, we need that off-menu sushi. Uh-uh-uh. And then we hand them to banana. Right?

Hand on the banana. The waiter takes a banana. He goes, yeah, this is a burger spot. It, like, says burger on the outside. Like, there's no way you can have sushi here or whatever. And then just walks away with my banana, which is mad weird. And then we go, fuck it. We're just going to eat there.

He gave me one more recommendation to go into a container unit on the west side, like where people come and they drop off stuff. Not people like a boats come. They drop off those containers. He's like, there's a Mexican restaurant best tacos you ever had in your life there. We go, there's no way that's fucking true. Those other two ones he got us, we're not going to be dumbasses on the fucking west side highway walking around containers. The one restaurant that's real? The one in the fucking containers.

But I respect the- They're the restaurant in New York with containers? Apparently on the west side highway. on like the port over there. But what I thought was so dope about the prank is I'll never see him again. But he knows that he made me buy a banana and then hand it to a waiter at Five Nafkins Burger, bro.

Oh, listen. He's listening to this podcast. Somebody's going to put him on. And he's going to play this shit over and over and over and over again for his people. Bro, that's the best prank, the one that you don't even need to see it come to fruition. I love it.

It's the best shit in the world. And I used to do that shit when I was young. I would say shit about people and forget about it. And then realize years later I caused these people so much trauma. You know what I'm saying? Because people actually fucking believe this stupid shit that I would say. Like really?

Like what? No, one was real bad. One was so bad. Can you share it? No, not in this lifetime. Yo, you know what? There was this thing. Five years ago, I would have said it.

There was this, I was doing some pilot for some shit up at Harvard. And there's this like thing. You know, the National Lampoon? You ever heard of that? Yeah, it's a movie. It's a movie. It's a movie, but it's based on, like, this magazine, comedic magazine, Harvard.

It doesn't fucking matter. Anyway, they have this, like, little, like, house that is built just for the people with a national lampoon over there. The guy that built the house built all these secrets into the house. Okay?

Mm. And there's tons of secrets that you just got to figure out, and they're, like, messages within the house. And apparently Conan O'Brien found one. There's this tile wall. All the tile. The whole wall is a tile.

and ornate tiles with all these details. Apparently Conan was just chilling high, and he noticed that in the tile, in the tile, the spiral on the tiles stopped and then started in a weird place on the next tile. So he chips away the tile, opens it, and inside there's a note that says, took you long enough.

Wow. That's kind of fire, isn't it? I mean, yeah, unless nobody sees it, unless you're in the afterlife and you get to see it from the afterlife. I guess maybe that is, but like, I don't know, I love that. Like we always try to do that in our pieces on Saturday when we do the monologues.

Like we always hide little shit in the pictures. Like there's always jokes on top of jokes with this shit. I just love when people are willing to let someone not get the joke. I just like layers. Like I don't like things. Like I like matter of fact shit. Don't get me wrong. But I like when you say something and it's kind of like an inside joke.

Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like you have to be in a certain culture or be a part of a certain thing to get it. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to have to explain a Marvel reference to a motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, I don't want to have to explain a dope movie reference to a motherfucker.

If you know the movie, then you're like, oh, shit, that's dope. I get it. Bro. You know what? That shit you posted was so funny. What? The Wolverine looks like two Batman's kissing. Amazing.

Fuck me up. Bro. Bro. Bro. That shit is so funny, dog. Because you got the tattoo of Wolverine on your arm, bro. You got a bunch of guys making out on your forearm, dude. The same forearm you used to whack off with.

What the fuck is going on, Charlotte, maib? What do you have to tell us? I didn't see it. You know, it's so funny. I went through all those comments. It was like 4,000 comments, and I didn't see the one obvious joke. Which was?

Batman. Yeah. I was like, I'm like, where's the one obvious joke? I'm like, why? It's two Batman kissing. Nobody made the most obvious joke. Bro. this guy said a fucking good shit on Twitter.

He DM me, man, I got to get his name. So I give credit. Totally random. But he goes, you know how Trump could really unite the country? Black dude, he goes, if he switched Maga to, instead of Make America Great again, it was Make America Safe again, right? Like, everybody wants to be safe, right? You got it already?

You got it already? Already. You got it already? Make America safe again. That turns MAGA too. That would be so stupid. Massa. Massa.

You got it quick, bro. I give you that. That'll be so fucking stupid. Bro. My God. Bro, tell me what you thought about the DC drops. The Batman? Positively brilliant.

I think that is brilliant that Milestone Comics. Mileson Comics is a black comic company that's been around for a while. They got a lot of characters. They got Static Shock, who's probably their most popular character. I think Icon is a part of them. Oh, man, I forgot the other person. I mean, it's a few characters in that universe. And I just think it's brilliant to relaunch that right now.

And they're doing it around black, they're doing it during Black History Month, which I think is perfect. No, I meant the Batman trailer. Oh, shit. Yeah, I'm talking about the white stuff. All that stuff looked regular. Wonder Woman looked the best out of all of them. Ah, stop it.

Stop it, don't. Captain, is he capping again? Are you capping, bro? Listen, listen, misogyny, man. Yo, that's what I am, pro. Let's go. Call me James Bond up in this bitch. This guy.

Wonder Woman was the best. She was so powerful. It did. Batman looked. Do you know Batman's only 30% done? Huh? The new Batman movie is only 30% shot.

Ah. What about the Wonder Woman movie? Wonder Woman's done. Wonder Woman's in the can. Probably cost 30% less. Listen, Wonder Woman is the Wonder Woman is the highest grossing DC film

of all time. Because they didn't have to pay much. They saved money, bro. You get 30% off on Wonder Woman, dog. Listen, I hate, I. I hate DC. Oh, God. I hate DC,

but Wonder Woman trailer looks better than the Batman trailer and the new Justice League shit. The Zach Snyder cut that's coming on HBO Max. What does that mean? The Zach Snyder,

is it the same exact movie they're just bringing back? It means that DC knows it's so trash that like how when you put an album out on title, you do a deluxe version. Okay.

Right? Sometimes the album doesn't get the reception you want, so you do a deluxe version with 10 new songs. That's all DC's doing. Like, oh, let's try this again. Because the first Justice League movie sucked ass. And the first Justice League movie should never be forgiven because they introduced their whole superhero team

in a fucking email attachment. While fucking Marvel gave you 10 years of all types of movies, shit that you probably wouldn't even watch, but they made us watch like Ant Man. You know what I mean? Like, we didn't care about it. no Ant-Man back then. They took, but I will say this.

And being Van was having this conversation. The reason Marvel is better than DC is because when it came, at least in the film world, is because they were forced to be more creative because they didn't have all of the best ingredients. DC had access to all his franchise players. DC had access to Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern. Marvel film universe didn't have access to. the Fantastic Four and

who else is their star player? I think Spider-Man at the time. They had to use Iron Man and Thor and Captain America. All of these people that were considered, I don't know if Captain America was, but Thor and Iron Man definitely were considered like B-level characters in the Marvel universe.

So they had to create around that. So they had to make sure that their shit was top-notch. So you're saying that Marvel had to take a soul food approach to their characters. That's right. That's right. They didn't have the best pieces of the animal, but they found a way to make the worst pieces of the animal

absolutely fucking delicious. That's exactly what they did. Simple and plain. That's it. Wow. Exactly what they did. And they took them 10 years. That's why even like even at the end,

like if you watch Avengers end game, like that end scene when they, when they put all of the women together, that's like one of the what? Huh? When they put all the what together? When they put all the what together? and women together to stop misogy.

Oh, I took a piss during that part. I went to the bathroom. No, by the way, it was a great scene. What it showed you was the lack of female character development in the Marvel universe, but that's because they don't have access to the A-List male characters. They didn't have access to the A-List women characters.

Captain Marvel's an A-List one. I think you could throw Scarlet Witch in there. But everybody else in that scene, no. But what was that part? Like, what was it? that part of the movie. I remember that in endgame. Were they the paramedics or something like that? What did they do? It was really, it was really, it was, it was really just the women's empowerment scene.

That's what it was. Okay, yeah, yeah. But what was their purpose in the battle? Like, did they bring fruit snacks or, like, orange slices to the guys or something like that? Like, what were they doing? What's wild about it is Captain Marvel was one of the strongest heroes in the Marvel universe. Right. We just saw her run through Thanos's whole ship destroy it. Right. Yeah. She didn't need no help. She could have ran through Thanos' whole crew. So what took her so long? Why was she kind of like leaving us, you know, leaving us out to dry here?

Who? Captain Marvel. Like, why was she so busy? What was she doing? Oh, because as she said in the movie, she has a, this isn't the only planet to protect. Ooh. Oh, yeah. She said that in any game.

Because they asked her that. One of the guys was like, I think it was war machine. Where have you been all this time? And she was like, your planet isn't the only planet to protect and other planets don't have y'all. Sounds like a convenient excuse to me. That's what it sounds like.

But also DC announced the Milestone stuff, which I was talking about. Milestone is a black comic book company that actually licensed a lot of its characters to DC. And now they're relaunching it. And Static Shock is, you know, their main character in Static Shock. You know, I think Jaden Smith was born to play the static shock role, especially when he used to have the dredge and stuff like that.

A lot of people disagree with me now. They think other people should play them. I still think it's Jaden's role to lose. But I like that, you know, I like it, especially after seeing Kit Cuddy tweet out, can we get some superheroes who don't have black in their name? Can we get some black superheroes who don't have black in their name? Kid Cuddy. There's only one. Black superhero with Black and any.

Black Adam. Black Panther. But isn't there Black Adam? I don't even think Black Adam is Black. Well, he's the Rock, whatever the Rock is. He's, I don't think Black. Let me see it. Is Black Adam Black?

Huh? Hawaiian? It might be. Hold on. Is Black Adam Black. Let's see. Black Adam made a superhero either, though. He's a villain.

Oh. Oh. I don't know Black Adam is. Why is Black Adam called Black Adam? Yeah, because the Shazam power corrupted him and Shazam gave him the name Black Adam. I don't even think Black Adam is black, bro. He's not?

No, I don't think Black. But that's D.C. so I could be mistaken. Is he Black? I mean, that's crazy. You just call a not Black character Black Adam. He looks like the Rock. He does look like the Rock in the comic. The Rock is playing him.

Yeah, the Rock is playing him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He does look like a rock. The Rock is an actor. He's a wrestler. Oh, he's Hawaiian and black. Oh, I think. The Rock.

The Rock ain't got no race. That doesn't. Rock is one of those rare. Rock is one of those rare humans. It is. You don't look at him as any race. The Rock is one of those rare humans who has transcended. He really has, bro.

Everybody can relate to him. It's very rare. Those people are very rare on this planet, all right? And he's this one of those people whose star is so big and so many people love him that they can tuck their prejudices. Do you think he's bald, though? I don't think he's bald.

I think he just checks so many boxes. Like he's Hawaiian, so he's kind of Asian, right? He's black. So he's kind of black. But when you just look at him, he kind of looks like a tan white guy. And he comes from the world of sports. wrestling specifically.

That's what I'm saying. It's hard. It's very hard for racist to hate the people they root for. The people they rule for. Yeah. You know what I mean? Now, you can hate the race but you can't hate the person that you want to win. Listen, a lot of bigots in Cleveland

didn't start hating LeBron probably until he left. All before he was, that's all the boy. Literally. That's our boy. He's a good one. But then when he left, they was burning his jersey. You know what I mean? I think it's the same thing with rock. I think when you hit a rock and you start off in athletics, right, you start off in

sports, people like you. They like you as a wrestler. And then you become like this world-renowned actor. Your race doesn't actually present for you first. Question. Do you think that Montrez-Harrell should have been like fined or had to apologize or anything for calling Luca Donchish a pussy-ass white boy or bitch-ass white boy? Yeah.

Yeah. I think you should have. I mean, yeah. You know, I saw Matt Barnes saying that, you know, when you're on the court, when you're on the court, like, it's a different world. You know what I'm saying? It's things that said on the court that don't fly other places. But I know, and we all know, that Luca couldn't say a pussy-ass nigger.

You know what I'm saying Or even Black Boy He couldn't say pussy-ass black boy Yeah he couldn't say pussy-ass black boy So Yeah but I mean listen It's a clear double standard right Yeah it is interesting because like

When you grow up playing sports Like as a white dude Especially basketball you hear white boy all the time And it's not always a pejorative Like it's sometimes like You white boy's nice Or pussy ass Or pussy ass

So it's more pussy ass A bitch ass Yeah exactly Right. So that's more of the thing. That being said, it's really weird. Like, I'm all for talk whatever shit you want on the court. And yes, we understand, like, as a white dude, there's just certain things that you don't tap into on a court. You could clown somebody's game.

You clown the way they look, et cetera. But you just don't get into the racial component of it. Like, it's just, yeah, it's just something that just doesn't really happen. I mean, it made the whole movie about it, right? White men can't jump. The whole premise of white men can jump was the stereotypes that exist about white men on the basketball. basketball court. You know what I'm saying? I don't know how it was back in the day. I would have to talk to somebody in the 80s. I'm sure Larry Bird got a lot of that. And Larry Bird probably talk a lot of

shit too, maybe not racially. There is a double standard in terms of like racially talking shit. That being said, when you add the corporate aspect to it, it is interesting because corporate rules have to be even across the board. And that's what I'm saying. That's why I say when you me, should he be fine? Somebody else would have been fine for what would be perceived as a racial slur. Yes. That we know. You know what I'm saying?

Now, we also know that we grew up in an era where, like you said, when you're white on the basketball court, that is the thing. That is an identifier. When you're the lone white boy on the court playing against a bunch of brothers, if you can ball, like, yeah, white boy, bawling. If you get dunked on, just like nuts in your mouth, white boy. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's just, it's that type of language.

Yeah. But in this climate that we're in, yeah, a white player wouldn't have been able to get away with that. White player wouldn't have been able to say pussy-ass-bladder. Especially when everybody's got equality on the back of their jersey and the NBA has leaned into like this like racial harmony, which we want, all of us want racial harmony. It is just going to be, it's going to be harder for some people to accept if you're allowing some form of racial, I don't even want to call it. it injustice because that's making it too big. But some four of like accepted racism in one direction, they might give some pushback.

Personally, I don't give a fuck. I know every white guy has ever played basketball with black people has never given a fuck about it. It's just what it is. You go and talk shit. That's just part of the game. But the corporation's got to act differently, you know? Corporations got to act different.

Harrell said that about an Asian to Jeremy Lynn and he said some Asian shit. Oh, you know for a fact. They'd be on it. Here's the thing. I agree. I mean, I agree. I just don't know what the fire would be.

the NBA, man. It's like, I don't know. I don't want him to be fine, but I do want there to be some sort of, at least acknowledgement in some way. I just like pointing out when corporations are fraudulent. I was laughing at Skip Baylor. Skip Baylor said, Skip bailer said, Skipbillian.

I'd have swung on him if he'd have called me a bitch-ass white boy. Yeah, right. Skip. You got your name. You got Skipin your name, bro. It ain't a masculine shit about that. I'm telling you, not the white boy, though. It's the bitch ass, man. Whenever you combine certain words in certain phrases, that's when it becomes derogatory.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I can call you a jackass. No problem. Let me call you a fat ass and you feel fat. Hmm. You know what I'm saying? Let me call you a pussy ass and you really feel pussy.

You know what? You're a bitch ass and you feel like a bitch. It ain't the ass. It's the bitch and a pussy. And they get thrown around a lot on the court. But I've realized this is what it is. You can call someone bitch ass or pussy ass. You can't call them.

that, you have to call the thing they're complaining about. So, for example, if a guy calls foul and it wasn't foul, you'd be like, That's a pussy-ass call. Yeah, that's a pussy, or cut that bitch-ass shit out. You're not calling them a bitch. You're just saying that the thing they're claiming in that moment is bitch-ass. Is that fair to say? Yes, but I would still say, that's a bitch-ass call.

That's a bitch-ass call. You don't call the person a bitch-ass. Yeah, you can't even say cut that bitch-ass shit out because it's like, oh, you're calling a bitch-ass shit out. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Stop that bitch-ass calls out. Blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

Yeah. So you start calling someone a bitch or a pussy? It just gets weird, man. He apologized, too, though. I mean, that's... I respected that. He went up to him. He knew all the cameras were going to be on them,

and he went and manned up on it. I think that's cool. I wonder how Luca felt about that, though. Because Luke is Eastern European. He's not even a white American. Exactly. That's the thing. like Eastern Europeans have been through such hard shit.

They literally grew up with their country at war their entire life. Cousins, uncles, parents, grandparents all fucking dead because of it. You think he gives a flying fuck what some millionaire says about him on a safe, secure basketball court? You can't get in their heads. It's impossible. Nah, I doubt it. Also, and what a fucking idiot.

Tucky fried chicken. What happened? It's suspended. its finger licking good slogan. Why? Well, Kentucky Fried Chicken's Global Chief Marketing Officer. Because of Corona, son?

He said in a statement, we find ourselves in a unique situation having an iconic slogan that doesn't quite fit in the current environment. Okay. Now, let me say why I think this is stupid. If you're doing this because of coronavirus,

Who the fuck fingers are you licking? Yeah, you can't lick your own fingers? When you say finger looking good, aren't you talking about your own fucking finger? Have I been eating this chicken the wrong way this whole time? Am I supposed to be licking other people's fingers? My whole life I've been licking my own fingers why I eat this delicious chicken, Charlemagne,

when I should be licking the fingers of the person next to me. That's when you realize how good it is. When you lick that shit, off somebody else's fingers. You're like, holy shit, that shit is good. You look at the dude next to you at KFC, be like, yo, you're going to lick that? That's what I'm saying. Like, why is that? Why is that a thing? Like, KFC, why did you have to change the slogan? And then they came back out and said that it was all just a part of a marketing ploy. So we can still lick our fingers or we can't? So I start licking other people's fingers?

What's going on? This proves to me two things, right? One of two things. Stop pointing your fingers up like that, man. I'm getting hungry. Don't you do this again, bro. I swear to God, Charlie, you do this one more time, bro. You come into a liquid. Listen, listen, pussy ass fingers.

Pussy ass fingers. That's a pussy ass. Listen, it proves me that when people say something stupid, when they backtrack the backtrack is always dumb. The moonwalk on whatever it is that they get backlash for is always dumb, right? Because the moonwalk for this is, oh, it's just a marketing ploy. Here's the thing, it may just be a marketing ploy, which proves to me that sometimes these motherfucking companies do shit

just to get talked about. You know what I'm saying? Because KFC had no heat since that Popeye's chicken sandwich, bro. Popeye was killing them. them. That chicken sandwich was so impactful. You ain't heard shit from KFC since. Bro.

What has KFC done since? I don't know, man. What do they ever do? They just switch up the kernel every once in a while? They do? Yeah, they get a new kernel for the commercials every once in a while. Yeah, they do.

Oh, they have a new actor play the kernel that's actually kind of famous. It was like Norm McDow. Not all white people look alike. All colonel. look quite similar, but not all white people. It's like Shamu at SeaWorld. You just get a new Shamu.

No, it's been the same Shamu forever. No, it hasn't. Shamu has been switched out multiple times. Really? Yes, they just keep switching them out. You never saw that documentary Blackfish? No. Pussy-ass Blackfish.

Bitch-ass Blackfish. I've never seen Blackfish. I heard about it, but I never watched it. I don't like seeing animals in Captain. I don't like seeing animals in captivity. I hate it. Why not? It just feels sad.

It feels cruel. Like I'm not gonna lie, I was in, um, what was I had? I was in public's a shop right the other day. And they had, they had all these lobsters in a tank. Uh huh. And they had their fucking claws tied up and they had like something over where their mouths would be. No, I think it was just their claws. Their claws were tied.

And I was just like, yo, that's so fucking cruel. Hmm. And you could tell like the lobsters were all like bunched up. in one corner and like the tank wasn't big enough for all the lobsters that they had in there and I just was like, man, that's whack, yo. That's how you gotta spend your last days. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, but what if they enjoy living that way? We don't know. There's no way. They're still human. There's no way you enjoy living like that out of the ocean with your claws tied up in a fucking fish tank. You just said the lobsters are human.

Well, the fuck, whatever. They're alive. I was talking about that the other day though About fish I was watching this animal documentary And they're getting They're getting attacked by sharks Seagulls

And like some other animal whatever And I was thinking if fish get like traumatized Just seeing like their friends And aliens die and stuff like that Like how human Are you sure? Yeah their memory's only three seconds Who told you that?

A fish expert, bro. We don't know. Listen, exactly. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. I'm telling you, man.

Joe Rogan texts me the other day. He goes, bro, I'm listening to you and Charlotte talk about fossils and dinosaurs, bro. And he goes, are you guys high out of your fucking minds on this podcast? He goes, seriously, please tell me, you guys are high out of your fucking minds on this podcast. It's called the brilliant idiots. Bro. All right. It's called the brilliant idiots, Joe Roe.

I got to get it up. I got to get it up. And by the way, by the way, I don't even remember that conversation. What the fuck were we talking about? You wanted to know what a dinosaur penis looked like. Yo, he just texts me. He just texts me. I'm listening to you and Charlie talk about dinosaur bones and aliens made me hurt my neck from shaking it like, no, we need to talk.

Fossils are not bones. They're minerals that have replaced the bones over thousands of years. And then he keeps on going And then he just quotes this one section Where you apparently go Chickens are they mammals And I said a real question too And I go

And it was a question Joe Don't shame me for asking a question I asked a fucking question I may make a statement Wait for it wait for it And I go Yeah And then

Joe goes no They're fucking birds. I said that. I eventually got to that. I said they're foul. They're foul. I said that. We eventually got to that.

Listen, this is the brilliant idiotic podcast. We ask fucking questions, bro. We ask questions and we talk about shit. We're not sitting here trying to be no experts. Yo, Charlemagne, I think we need to get to the bottom of this dinosaur shit because I don't know if dinosaurs ever existed, bro. I'm not going to lie. You fuck me up with the fossil shit. no idea. I thought bones lasted all these years. I thought bones lasted all these years too.

I had no idea. Why don't, why didn't they last, bro? Now I, listen, now I don't want to be in a casket. Just bury me. Just put me in the ground, bro. I want to get, I got a better chance of sticking around that way. I want to get fossilized. Yeah. I want motherfuckers to find me in the future wrapped in minerals. All right. He said, I want to be a, I want to be a fucking seaweed wrap. That's what the month? What? Wrap me in minerals. Wrap me in minerals, bro. Turned Charlebein into Japanese food.

This motherfucker. You're going to come back as a California roll. That's right. I want to come back as a goddamn California roll. I do. Fuck that. Fuck all that. I want to come back as a goddamn California roll.

Wrap me in motherfucking seaweed. Okay. I want to come back as a nice cucumber fucking sushi roll. A nice. God damn tuna and scallion sushi rolls. Yo, we need to get to the bottom of this, bro, because how are you going to tell me dinosaurs existed if we don't have any of their bones left?

We got shit that fell into where their bones are. How do we know if it was bones? No, but isn't the real bones at the museums, like how they built the dinosaurs? Taylor, have you not been paying attention the last 10 minutes that we've been talking? There's no, they're not having bones at all. That's why they don't let you touch the bones at the museum.

Say what? Yes, I don't know. No, it doesn't make sense. No, because I went to, I'm sorry, because I went to a museum. Yeah. So they lied to me then. What did they say? They were saying that it was a real bone, real dinosaur bone.

They lie to you because you're a child, you're young and impressionable. They lied to you because they don't want you to think Jesus was real. Now, now, listen, when I was in Anguilla, which, you know, that's my favorite island. There's this cave you can explore. There we go. And they talk about this big ass rat. It's like the world's largest rat. and they took the skeletal structure of the rat

and I think it's in the Smithsonian or some fucking way. I don't remember exactly where it is now, but they took it from Anguilla and put it there. So I just assume that's what dinosaur bones were. What? I don't know what's going on right now. Wait, you said that we...

I don't know what's going on right now. Charlotte, I don't know what's going on. Look at his face. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Hold on, listen, listen, listen, listen. You see the grandpa face. Listen. Listen, it says the most common process of fossilization happens when an animal is buried by sediment, such as sand or silk shortly after it dies.

So you're telling me that every fucking dinosaur that died was buried by sediment? Come on, yo. Come on, yo. As his body decomposes, all the fleshy parts wear away and only the hard parts like bones, teeth, and horns are left behind. Okay, so then there are bones left behind. But if we don't have no bones and there's no fucking dinosaurs. There might not be any dinosaurs, bro.

We might be mistaken those bones for other shit. Joe said there are bones to say like there's no bones at all. That's what you said? No, the minerals have replaced the space where the bones were. So they essentially look like bones, but they're not the bones. But to me, there could be a lot of different things. I always thought like, what are they really dangerous bones?

Or it's something else. That's it. And they just built up. There might not be any dinosaurs, bro. There really might not be any dinosaurs, bro. No, no, no, no. Dinosaurs exist. Ah.

No, no, no. I saw a teradactyl in the early 80s. What? You saw what? I saw a teradactyl in the early 80s. You did? Where? You saw a teradaptal in the early 80s?

Listen, anybody that's from... Where'd you see this pterodactyl, bro? I'm going to tell you. Anybody that's from South Carolina, you remember. one time live five news live five news they had a video

of this fucking taradactyl lying in the goddamn sky I'm looking this up going on I don't know if the teradactor was sick or what but somehow or another this taraductal came down to the ground

and you could tell like it either was sick or something happened because it was like on the ground like in pain right so it was like fucked up and they told us live five news reported it and whoever the power was that beware at the time said that it was

a robot or some type of mechanical kite or some wild shit. But there was a time in South Carolina between South Carolina and North Carolina people used to see pteradactyls all the fucking time. Google is your friend.

How you spell taradactyl, Charlotte? P. Ooh! P. T. You killed them. Hold on, hold on. P-T-E-R-O-Dactyl. P-T-E-R-O.

I know what's thoughts. P-T-E-R-O. Oh, he's right. I hate silent letters. What's the fucking point? You're not even saying pateric dag. Wait, you hate silent letters? Why?

Because there's no point in them. They're silent. Why even add them in fucking... Hey, yo, yo, yo, speaking of silent, yo. Speaking of silent, yo. Oh, Taylor. Like, you know, sorry. Speaking of silent.

According to YouTube, they really need you to be quiet on the podcast. He asked me a question. Yo, I don't think he meant to, yo. I don't think I did ask you that. I think you just shared that. I don't remember a question being asked, yo. No, I'm serious. I remember in the early 80s, seeing this taradacto,

and when I think about it now, I'm like, there's no way that could have been some type of fucking mechanical kite or whatever the fuck they said it was. But back in the day in North Carolina and South Carolina, people used to see taradactos all the time. And I remember being a kid. I was about five or six. So this had to be like, let me see,

82, 83. They showed one of these shit on Live Five News in Charleston, South Carolina, and they told us that it was a fucking mechanical kite or some type of robot of some shit like that. I never forget it. But TerraSaur sightings in South Carolina. Carolina. Same thing. Wow. Same thing.

That's all I'm saying. Now, that being said, the first plane was developed by the Wright brothers in North Carolina, was it not? True indeed. So maybe these could be early versions of the first plane. This was the 80s. I saw, so I'm telling you, I saw it. Oh.

It was on the news. It was on Live 5 news. This was the 80s. And I remember telling my mom or whoever was in the house like, yo, look what's on TV. It's a dinosaur. And they didn't eat anybody. Wow.

What? What? You know, all dinosaurs weren't carnivores, though. Most dinosaurs, a lot of dinosaurs were vegan, Taylor. I never been around dinosaur. I don't know. You said what? I never been around a dinosaur.

I don't know. Oh, a raptor would have loved you. And I ain't talking about Sergei Baca neither. A Raptor with a fucking Tor through that little meaty flesh. Raptor was a carnivore for a... You seen Jurassic Park. Raptors will fuck you up.

Anyway. What else we got for what a fucking idiot? I think we hit that. Oh. No, we didn't, we didn't talk about fucking, we finally found out what happened with Tori Lanes and Meg the Stallion. Oh, shit.

You want to pay some bills and come back and do a deep dive on it? Yeah, but, oh, I didn't know we found out. Oh, she said it. I got to pay some bills. All right, we're going to pay some bills.

Get with it. Let's get back to the show. Charlemagne. Yeah, we're back. Yeah, the Megan the Stallion situation, the Torrey Lane situation. I mean, according to Megan Nostalian, I'm still going to say, um, allegedly only because that's the,

the proper thing to do when you're in media, uh, even though this is a eyewitness account, because Meg would know better than any of us who did what, but, uh, yeah, Megan Nostallion said that Tori Lane shot her, bro. Why, though? I mean, I don't think there is a reason. I mean, I, I, I, no reason justifies it. How about that? No reason justifies it.

I just need to know how, how, you know, how, you know, how, you know, I mean, I don't think, absolutely fucking insane Torrey Lanes is that he would just shoot somebody. Well, I think from what Megan was saying, I think Megan got pushed by social media. I think that, I think that, and I don't know if this is true, I'm just going off Megan's account,

Megan said that, you know, people in Toray Lane's camp were, I guess, hitting up different publications and putting different narratives out there and different stories. If that's true, the reason I thought that was crazy is because there's really nothing you could say that would justify it. I'm not saying it's justified. It's not justified at all.

But what it does... You just want to know. Of course. That's all. We're nosy people. We want the whole story. That's all. I think people get upset when people say that.

I want the other side. They don't want the other side because they want to defend Tori. They don't want the other side because they're looking for some type of justification. We just want the other side to fill in the blanks. It's just like when I hear it. When I hear that somebody died, I need to know how they died immediately, especially when they're relatively young.

Because the way my anxiety is set up, if somebody tells me, oh, such and such had a heart attack. I'm like, what? He's 40 years old and he had a heart attack. But when I hear, yeah, but he was doing drugs. I'm like, oh. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just a sigh of relief.

Clearly something's wrong with Tori. Yes, something's wrong with him. And I think that we can tell how deeply fucked up he is when we find out what he deems shootworthy, right? Because right now you have this situation where he opened fire on a woman. Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly open fire on a woman. There's no justification for this shit. But I want to know what in his crazy-ass mind he thinks justifies it.

Because then there might be other people like him out there that also believe that that is justification to shoot. I need to know from my safety. I think a lot of it is just fragile ego. You think, were they hooking us? Has anybody confirmed that? I have no idea. No, they didn't confirm it, but that's why everyone's assuming. I just think it's fragile ego.

I think that, you know, a lot of guys are just insecure. They got low self-esteem. And that's what women call. When people talk about toxicness, toxic masculinity, that's what that is. When that ego, you know, that wounded ego, you know, gets touched. It's very vulnerable, you know what I mean? And you couple that with, And I'm just spitballing.

I don't know anything. I'm just, this is me. I'm just saying, you couple that with alcohol. You know what I'm saying? Maybe some drugs. You know what I'm saying?

Who knows? That's what creates those volatile mixes that lead people to do those type of things. That's it. You know what I mean? That's all. And that's not a justification at all. It's just like you want to know all the details

so you can figure out how to prevent things like this from happening in the future. I have a question. You know what do we tell? What do we what do we tell young men? You know what I'm saying? So they avoid situations like this. You know, do young men need to be,

that's why I stress therapy so much. You know what I mean? That's why I stress healing so much. You know, get to that place where you're operating from your, from your soul and not your ego, bro. Yeah. Listen, by the way, there's nothing wrong with ego. It just can't be a wounded ego.

It can't be a hurt ego. It has to be a beautiful ego. I saw this thing today, man. I'm actually going to post this later. I thought this was very, very powerful. My home girl, Debbie Brown, posted it. It said, ego versus soul, right? Right.

It says ego seeks to serve itself. Soul seeks to serve others. Ego seeks outward recognition. Soul seeks inner authenticity. Ego sees life as a competition. Soul sees life as a gift. Ego seeks to preserve self. Soul seeks to preserve others.

Ego looks outward. soul looks inward. Ego feels lack. Soul feels abundance. Ego is mortal. Soul is eternal. Ego is drawn to lust. Soul is drawn to love. Ego seeks wisdom. Soul is wisdom. Ego enjoys the prize. Soul enjoys the journey. Ego is caused the pain. Soul is cause of healing. And I think that's the question that we all need to ask ourselves. Are we leading with ego? Are we leading with our soul? I have a question though. Do you think that there's anything Tori could say, like, to... Rectify the situation? Yeah, like, yeah.

It's crazy how Taylor don't know what justification means. So when we say no justification, she doesn't understand it. Because there's no rectifying. It's not necessarily, I don't mean necessarily rectifying, but like how they... The only thing Tori should be worried about is himself. And what I mean by that is,

but get your career, because whatever, what, the energy you put out, by doing that, you got to deal with all the allegedly, you got to deal with all the consequences of that action. You know what I'm saying? If you put your hands on her, if you shot her, you end up going to jail, whatever, that's on you. If you lose your career,

whatever, that's on you. So all of that is out the window. You got to deal with that. You got to deal with the karmic consequences of that. The only rectification Tori should be seeking is rectification of his self. Turning that wounded, hurt ego into a healed,

beautiful soul. that's going to take a lot of time, and that's going to take a lot of therapy. What are your thoughts on the fact that she didn't speak out about this at first, and now she's speaking out now, like, after the fact? No, I know that, but I mean, like, some say that this hurts her case if she tries to find justice, that she speaks out about it. Does it hurt her case that she, what, now, Alex, that if she tries to find justice? Yeah, like saying it publicly and speaking on the case publicly, it may hurt her case

if this actually goes to trial. I mean, this is what I expected from day one, what she did last week. I mean, it's commendable that they lasted a month for however long it lasted. Because remember, I was saying that, I was like, in this era, with them being that young,

I'm shocked that we didn't find out what happened within 30 minutes of that whole situation. But, you know, one thing that Megan said, people aren't even looking at all the different layers of trauma that Megan has been. You're talking about a young woman who lost her father at a young age,

lost her mother who was her manager, lost her grandmother. Now she's just been thrust into this level of stardom. And we all know how fake and phony this fucking industry is. You know what I mean? Like who is around her

that's protecting her bones? Who's fossilizing her? You know what I'm saying? Like who's who's keeping her upright? Who's keeping her sturdy? Who's keeping her mental health together? She probably hasn't even had a chance to grieve. And then when you listen to her talk,

and she talks about the different layers of trauma she had to deal with, like, think about that, right? And that's what I wanted every mainstream publication to do. When you talk about this story, and I haven't heard this part, talk about the fact that that black woman was afraid to call the police. Talk about the fact that that black woman who had just been victimized was afraid to call the police because she felt like being that they had guns in the car and it was a shooting, they could possibly be victimized again.

Yeah? that shows you how broken people are, right? Allegedly if Tori did what he did, but that also shows you how broken our system is. Because it's like, who the fuck does she call for help then? Ghostbusters? Like, what the, like, what are you doing that situation? So for me, it's just like looking at all them different levels of trauma

that she went through in that night was wild. And then the fact that she felt like she was going to be victimized by the police. Then when she goes to the hospital, she says she didn't want to get this brother in trouble. think about that. She knows how hard it is for us as black people to achieve any type of level of success. So even if somebody does something

that would potentially throw all that he's worked for out of the window, she still is protecting that. Boy, that's why you, black women, is man. Something else. Something special. That's all I'm saying. They deserve white men, bro.

They deserve white men, bro. Shut up. They deserve white women. man, bro. They deserve white men. They're going to treat them right, bro. They deserve good white men. They're going to treat these beautiful black queens the way they're supposed to, bro.

I mean that we're here for you, black women. Hey, black women. We are here for you. Okay? I mean, who knows how to ride a stallion better than a white man? I'm just saying, who knows how to ride a stallion better than a white man? You're saying a stallion needs a cowboy. That's all I'm saying, bro.

Did you just call me, boy? Did you just call me boy? Man, that is so fucking stupid. Yeah, let's play it together. We got you, Meg. Hey, hey, hold one second. Hold on a second. Man, there's nothing better than comedic timing, bro.

Hey, right. That shit is magic. That shit is magic. See, when you get to a. certain age, I'm old, right? So I don't just laugh at the joke. It has to be very well, extra. It has to be right on time, man. Listen, yeah. And it made me also triple, double laugh because I got a home girl right now who's in that phase of her life. She's dating white guys? She wants a white man so bad. Hey, bro, we're here. We're here, bro. She wants a white man. But

what I think people don't realize, I think that people act like white folks don't have. have trauma. White folks have trauma too. No, not much. I mean, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, white people are different, man. New York white is, white is different.

New York white is different than Alabama white than Kentucky white than South Carolina white, like, it's different. Why, why, why? Um, poverty. Oh, yeah. I think so. I think so, bro. Shut the fuck.

I did grow up rough, bro. bro. No, I did, man. Sometimes at my beach house, bro, I'd have to walk on these little cobblestone streets and the stones would get all up in my feet. My skin would be so sensitive. And my dad and I would call it the Occi-Oochies, but we're going to walk on the Uchi-Otis

all the way up to the beach. Can't do that. And then sometimes there wouldn't be any space. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you had to go through such pain, Andrew. Yeah, bro. And sometimes when my dad would play cats with me, because he did that a lot,

he would throw the ball really hard. You know what I mean? And he would throw the ball really hard. Sometimes that should hurt my hand and my brand new Spaldon mitt, you know? Did your dad beat you? Say what? Did your dad hit you?

No, no. My parents were like very, very relaxed. Maybe two laissez-faire with me. Yeah, they did not. I mean, it's a balance, right? You don't know how strict to be. I don't believe in no physical discipline, though. Yeah, yeah.

That shit don't work. All that shit does is make you resent, resent. Anybody that hits you, you will grow to resent him. There's no such thing as beating somebody out of love. I don't think so. There's no such thing as beating somebody out of love. No, there's no such thing. When you sit back and you think about the beatings,

at least me, when I think about the beatings I got from my parents, especially my father, I have resentment. I do. It depends what type of beating, though. Like, what did he beat you with? An extension cord? Did it make you go take the fast? Was it justified?

Did you do something that justified the beating? No. What if he stole a car or something like that? And then he just hit you with an extension cord? That's not that bad. Let me go to jail. Call the police on me. Didn't he let you go to jail once?

Have you ever, wait, huh, I have a question. He definitely let me sit in jail a couple times. Show me, have you ever tried your dad, though? like as in like you could fight him or you could you never did because I know. You think you could take him? You think you could take your pops?

Now? Yeah. But not back then. Hell. But you know, that's the sign of good discipline, right? The sign of good discipline is like, I don't play with my parents,

but it's a respect and honor thing. Like I don't crush in front of my mom. I might crush in front of my dad nowadays. You know what I mean? But it's still a respecting. But I just don't think you have to beat that respecting into somebody. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. No, I mean, that's how I was raised. So that's how I'm going to raise my kids. But there is a certain point in time when they were like really young and they don't understand words and stuff. Like how do you communicate right and wrong when they don't understand words yet? Like you do it with tone. Do you do it with like volume? I think it's tone.

I think it's volume. I think it's stopping them from doing things. You know what I'm saying? Like if they're doing something, they don't have no business doing, stop them from doing it. I think there's nothing wrong with explaining it. in your adult way to them, even though their kids, because even though they may not be able to communicate verbally,

I still feel like it's some type of energy that resonates from you to them. You know what I mean? That's why if I, like, my daughter's one, if I raise my voice at her sometimes, she'll jump, you know what I mean? And she'll run her mom and sometimes cry because just the vibration of my voice,

that tone scare her, you know? Yeah, I don't, I don't, yeah, I don't, yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I think it's a lot of different ways to communicate with your child and discipline your child without having to put hands on them. I think that's so primitive. I think that's garbage.

I think it's whack. And I think they really do just grow to resent you. Yeah. I truly believe that. And it's certain things that you accept in certain households and you say, oh, it's cultural and this and that. That don't mean it's not abuse. Yeah.

But you got all daughters. Like, what if you had like a 16-year-old kid who's acting like a punk and trying you? You don't want to like slap him in his fucking mouth. But not. You get a taser, put it on low. What? That's all.

You get a taser, put it on low. Are you putting gloves on them and say, let's go in the ring? I like that. I like that. But I'm not talking about how you got beaten, though. Like, I'm not talking about the extension cord. Just like maybe a slap on the hand or a spanking. You think that's still bad.

I don't like none of that. And the reason I don't like none of that because it really shows how stupid adults are, right? Like, yo, you can't really. punish somebody for what they don't know. And it's crazy to me how we get older and realize that with adults, right? And we accept that from adults. I can't really be mad at this person

for what they don't know. Right. But you're mad at a one-year-old? Right. But what they don't know? You're mad at a two-year-old for what they don't know their kids. I'm not tough.

So I just think it's a different way to discipline them and let them know that they're doing something wrong as opposed to the popping them. I don't like that. I personally don't like it. My cousin, she has two kids and she just raise her voice

and will take like the game away or something like that or put them in, they hate being put in time out and that kills them more than probably hitting. Ah, that's the best punishment. Like taking away the things that give them joy. Yeah.

Ah, okay, that works. Yeah, maybe. My 12-year-old is she's a beast, you know, because she really is, she's not, she's not like a laptop phone person. You know what I mean? It's like she really does enjoy reading. Yeah.

And so like a couple of weeks, used to go, my wife took away her laptop and her, her phone because she was, you know, Malvin off. And she was like, psh, I'm going to read a book anyway. Yeah. You know what's funny is when we were younger, if you watch like deaf comedy, jam Kings of comedy, like, it was a common joke from black comics about white families about how absurd our disciplinary tactics were, timeout. You're grounded. Or you're grounded, time out. Yeah, and like the white guy voice and that of shit. So it is really interesting to see you talking about like hitting your kids is so primitive. How could we ever do that? I mean, we have to find different ways. I never liked it.

I never, I didn't, I know it never did anything for me. Like it doesn't put it like this. Getting, getting beaten doesn't make you change your behavior. It just makes you focus on not getting caught for whatever it is that you're doing. Because you're not, you're not telling me why what I'm doing is wrong. You're just expressing to me that you're mad about what I'm doing. Right. You know what I'm saying? Now, that's why I guess when you get those beatings, where you get and talked to, but I do remember getting beat with that extension cord,

and my father was talking to me saying, trying to burn my goddamn house down, because I had the lighter, and I was flicking it in the single wide trailer on the carpet. I would flick it, little flame would come. I put it out, flick it, little flame would come. My mama saw me, mom was like, wait till your dad get home. So when he was beating me, I knew in that moment,

okay, I shouldn't be trying to set the house on fire. Right. But all them other times, it's just like, you know, go pick a switch. You know, talking back to your mama, talking back to your aunt, talking back to your grandma. Well, if I think about it,

they deserve to get talked back to. Why, what they say? I don't remember, but I'm sure I had a perfectly good reader for getting snarky. So it just depends on what it is too, though, then. I didn't get people for that. I think you're putting it more so

on your own personal, like, why you got beaten. You're okay with beating kids? It seems like you're trying to. I'm just saying, and I'm not talking about, like, a young guy, how you guys are putting it. I'm not talking about, like, a two-year-old or nothing like that. Yeah. I'm talking about, like, maybe...

When the last time you got a beating, Taylor? I didn't get a lot of beatings. So... But are you going to hook off on your kids? Like, if you have... No, I'm not going to get a switch or nothing like that. I'm definitely, there... It's going to be, like, my mom, when I got in trouble, she would just give me a stare or just say, Taylor-Marie.

Like, I already knew I was in trouble. Like, yeah. And she would yell at it. me, but I never, she never really beat me. But do you think if your kid was mouthing off to you that you hook off on their face? No. Not at all. No.

Uh, no. Nah. Nah. I, I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't like physical. I think it's whack. I think it's primitive.

I, no. It's just so many other ways to communicate with your children. And I really do think they grow to resent you. And plus, you don't want your kids to fear you. Yeah, that's true. You want your kids to respect you. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

When I talk to my daughter and I'm stirring with her, one thing that I stress to her is I'm telling you what's good for you. I'm not telling you this because it's an ego trip or I'm your daddy and I just want you to listen. I let you make your own decisions even at 12 because I trust your instinct. I trust your intuition. But what I'm telling you in this moment is something that you should be doing because it's good for you. That's always going to make whatever you're doing. easier. Don't make your life hard.

That's all. Now, did you see, let's get into some shit you won't care about. Can we pay a bill real quick? Sure. Let's pay a little bill. You pay that? All right. Let's take a break. Pay some bills.

Taylor, what you were saying, the little dust up, what was it? So the other day, Waka commented on some Atlanta rapper that went to say, Megan Six Foot, Tori's 5'2, we don't know what the hell happened in that car. y'all know females be tripping and shit all these cap-ass rappers picking aside like little bitches and shit so Waka put 100

like he almost like he agreed with what the rapper was saying so Megan was like he didn't make it past the ninth grade I expect nothing less out of his mouth whatever right To Waka? Well she claimed it was towards the rapper that said it whatever

Right and Waka got all this backlash and stuff like that and Waka's wife spoke out against Megan saying like, you know, he's been supporting you, blah, blah, blah. Like, he made a dumb mistake.

He was talking about, I guess, what the rapper had on in the shirt, whatever. Okay, I got five words for you. Yeah. Slow fucking news day. Okay. That is Waka Flocka's clothing line. So Waka Faka, if you notice Waka Flocka,

whenever he sees somebody wearing, you know, his clothing line, he comments 100. I see it all the time. I don't, I totally believe Waka. Waka was not co-signing what the dude said about tall women be tripping. You know, short men, I really feel good that I didn't realize I was short until I was older. Smart. Yeah. It's valuable. I didn't even know I was short until I got around tall people.

And by the way, when I'm around tall people, I never felt short. Yeah. Like that's got to feel fucked up to feel short. I've never felt short. No one's ever called you short when you were young.

No, my height don't fight. And I guess growing up in school, a lot of us were the same height and the guys that weren't the same height weren't supposed to be. They were like the basketball player. It wasn't like it was just some tall for no reason motherfuckers walking around.

Majority of people that were tall at Berkeley High School in Monk's Corner were on the basketball team. So to me, they were just the anomalies. Everybody else was like my height. But even now I don't walk in the room and be like, I'm the shortest person in here.

Like, you know how insecure you got to be as a man? It'll be like, yo, tall women be tripping. What the fuck are you talking about? That makes no sense. Like, you're that afraid of tall fucking women that you got to shoot at them? Hey, the fuck are you saying? I never understood it.

I think it's corny. I think it's whack. I just, that's lamb. Is there any question, like, on whose side you should be? I mean, it's pretty obvious what's going on here. You're like one person got shot, the other person did the shooting. I think we know who the good guy

and the bad guy is here. Why does this seem like there's a debate? Because there are human beings on this planet who like to make excuses for, allegedly. Allegedly. But there are human beings on this planet who, I thought you were saying it was allegedly about humans being on this planet.

I was like, shit. There's chickens then? But no, there's human beings on this planet who like to make excuses for fuck shit because they're still doing a bunch of fuck shit. That's all it is. So when you're still doing a lot of fuck shit like that when you're the type of guy that probably would hit a woman,

when you're the type of guy that probably would pull a gun on a woman, when you're the type of guy who feels like anybody can get it. You try me. I'm going to fucking slap this out of you. If you're that type of person, you'll probably make excuses for what the fuck Tori Lanes did. Yes, that's all. You'll try to find some type of justification. What do you think happens with Tori next?

I think it's a rap for him? Yeah. It depends what you call rap, though, right? Like, I think that you can always have an audience, meaning like, meaning like it's not like streaming platforms will ever block his music so I think that he'll always be able to put out music but I mean as far as

any corporate deals or endorsement deals or record deals I think that's probably pretty much over you know unless he if he if he did what he's accused of doing that's why I said earlier

the only thing that matters is him getting his soul right. He has to atone for his sins. He has to show that he's really trying to get to a place of healing. You know what I mean? Like he really has to dig deep and do some internal work. Simple as that. Like nobody's, nobody's past the point of redemption. You know what I mean? That's why I said, I said on Twitter the other day and this is something that I stand by. I say, yo, man, you humans, I'm going to read it verbatim. Well, I want to read it verbatim. I don't want to This could be a tweetable moment. Uh-oh.

You humans better start giving other humans to grace. You want God to give you. Ooh. It's really just that simple. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, we really have to start giving human beings grace. Do we all have to deal with the consequences of our actions? Absolutely.

Are we the judge, the jury, the executioner? Are we God? No. You know what I mean? And I think that's something that people need to give back to. Only God can judge you. ultimately, which is also kind of a farce because people will judge the fuck out of you. Yes.

Right? Right. But your ultimate, I guess, end-all, be-all is up to how you serve the God and you. You know what I'm saying? You got to submit your will to the God and you, not the devil in you. And I think this is one of those opportunities for Tori. If he's accused of doing what it is that he's doing, this is an opportunity for him to deal with those demons, man. Because, yo, that thing called karma.

boy, it will catch up to you. And trauma, if you don't deal with your trauma, your trauma will deal with you. And this is one of those cases where if Tori's accused of doing what he's allegedly accused of doing, his trauma caught up with him. Simple is that. Shit you won't care about next week.

Did you see Donald Trump Jr. at the Republican National Convention? I saw his wifie, though. That was a cringe fest. They both. They went for it. What did Don Jr. do, though? Well, here's the thing.

Cocaine was trending on social media. Because people were saying that Donald Trump Jr. looked like he was high off cocaine. They said his wife seemed like she was high off cocaine. His wife was, his girlfriend was definitely yelling for no goddamn reason. She was acting as if there was a crowd. Like, she was performing as if the crowd was there and there was nobody there, bro. Yeah, she was really going for it.

Yeah, she was yelling. Here's the thing about the cocaine thing. I feel like we lost a good moment in his speech because of the cocaine allegations, because everybody wants to reach for the low-hanging fruit and say it looked like he was high off cocaine. Donald Trump Jr. said in his speech, verbatim, racism needs to end. And police officers who abuse their power should be. be held accountable. Oh.

He said this on the same night that we watched the brother get shot in the back seven times in Wisconsin. If I'm, if I'm a Democrat, I'm Biden Harris, I take that clip of Don Trump Jr. saying that, I put it in a commercial and I say, it's your father who's preventing that from happening by not agreeing to sign whatever bill or, you know, It's the Republican-led that won't vote on the bill that we propose. I can't remember the name of the bill right now,

but it's a bill that has all of this stuff in there about, you know, the police reform bill, basically. You know what I'm saying? I can't remember what's the name. It's the George Floyd. I think it's the George Floyd Policing Act or whatever it's called. But I would have took that clip, put it in a commercial,

and said Republicans are the one holding this up. Like, they should have used that. But everybody jumped on, oh, he's high on cocaine. He's high on cocaine. He's high on cocaine. That's, eh, fuck what you, fuck your, hype, your specticism. Whatever, like a dinosaur. Fuck your hypotheticals.

You know what I'm saying? Let's deal with the reality of what he said. Why not take that and use that to have a broader conversation? You know what I'm saying? Right. Because he was speaking to the audience that needed to hear that the most. If a Democrat says that that's an echo chamber, right? Right.

Don Trump Jr. says that at the RNC convention, that means something. I just think I think a moment was lost with everybody focusing on the cocaine. Do you think the Democrats might be afraid of using it because they could be promoting fact that conservatives, especially like the Trump family, wants to stop racism and wants to stop police brutality? some things should should be nonpartisan

right I think that's what this shows right like that's a that's an issue that's nonpartisan both sides both sides

should be on agreement with that yes if you're telling me you can't agree with what Donald Trump Jr. said because of his

political party then you're really not about none of that shit that you'd be kicking you really don't give a fuck about the people you really don't give a fuck about you know

what you're you want your idea of America to be. If you're out here screaming, peace, freedom, liberty, justice for all equality, whether you think Donald Trump Jr. was talking about both sides of his mouth, whether you think he believes what he said, it don't fucking matter, he said.

You know what I mean? And that should be the focus. Don Trump Jr. even said racism, shit, and police who abuse their power need to be held accountable. That's a great talking point that motherfuckers could have been talking about all week on both sides. Instead, they rather focus on

the fact he may or may not have been on cocaine. And by the way, it's not a political convention if people aren't on cocaine. We've seen Bullworth. You think the DNC ain't sniffing. You think that, come on, man, and politicians.

Yeah. That's a positive fuck. Yes, they, what's wrong with that? Yeah. There was a point in my life where I thought that was a prerequisite to be a politician. Yeah.

I didn't know. I thought cocaine and politicians went hand in hand. Are you at all concerned about, and I have to verify this, but from what I read, that apparently the RNC, the opening day, got six times more viewership than the DNC's? I thought it was less. I read that it was less. Oh. I'll verify. Yeah, I read that it was six million more viewers less. I'll verify. Let me ask. Yeah, I read that it was six more. Would that concern you? No, because R&C is just way more entertaining. I said it drew 17 million.

What? Viewers, the RNC. What did the Democrats do? So the R&C got six times more viewers than the DNC. Right. So the DNC only got six million viewers? Less than that three million, right? So 18 divided by six is three.

So let's just say regardless, right? Is that a thing of concern? Because if I was DNC, right, like obviously the media's, or most of the media's in your pockets, they're pushing these agendas that they're saying, hey, Biden's going to win. Wait, wait a little. Where y'all getting this from?

Because I know every head, I'm reading it right now, every headline. Joe Biden tops Donald Trump in TV viewership for first night of convention. New York Times. GOP TV ratings fall below Democrats, despite Fox News, big night. The Hill, first night of GOP convention

delivers nearly six times more views. Okay, that's what y'all got it from the Hill. then start of Democrats event on, oh, it's on a particular thing on C-SPAN's live screen. A New York Post, I think, also has it. Oh, yeah, yeah, it was the live screen. C-SPAN's live-stream of the first night

of the Republican National Convention. What the fuck is that? Oh, yeah, GOP's live-stream had six times more of you. Right. So that's what people were doing. They were live-streaming. Does that concern, does that concern you at all?

because it seems as if like, hey, Biden is going to coast to victory. Everything's going well. But could it be another Hillary type situation where the media is portraying this one idea of how the election is going to go? But deep down, there's still tons of Trump support out there. I'm not focusing on none of that. I'm not focusing on polls. I'll tell you why I asked just real quick to follow up.

I was doing shows in the Stress Factory in New Jersey is last weekend, right? Their outdoor shows, an tent, amazing club. Their setup is COVID-friendly. It's great. Y'all should check it out. But I remember asking the crowd. I was like, you know, who's voting for Trump? You know what I mean?

Who's voting for or who supports Trump? Who supports Biden, right? There are a lot of people who are like, nah, we don't fuck with Trump. We don't fuck with Trump. And then there was nobody that said they fuck with Biden. It was so interesting. Alex, you saw that, right? Or very few people.

But listen. But it was like, I thought that it was going to be Trump. People were going to be like, nah. And then when I said Biden, they were going to be like, yeah. But there was people that when I said Trump, they were like, nah. And then I said Biden. And they also were like, nah. That concerns me.

That means they might stay home. But here's the thing. Like, even when you talk about the live screen, but TV, 17 million tuned into the Republican convention's first night compared with 19.7 million for the Democrats. And they say almost half of all TV viewers at 10 p.m. We're watching on Fox News. So that sounds about right. It's like, listen, nobody.

Nobody's going to know anything until November 3rd. And I think it's too early for anybody to get cocky. I think it's too early for, you know, anybody to be dismissing, you know, a certain audiences or certain communities. I don't think that you should leave no stone unturned. Right. If I'm the Democrats, I'm not leaving no stone unturned. Right.

I'm not shunning nobody. You know what I mean? Like, I'm embracing everybody who is embracing that ticket right now. I think Joe Biden should sit down and talk to fucking ice cute. Let's go. don't run from Ice Cube like sit down and have a conversation with Ice Cube. You talk to Cardi.

You clearly don't have no problem talking to you know, hip hop stars. So sit down and talk to Ice Cube. Why the fuck that? Ice Cube got Ice Cube got something to say. Ice Cube got something he wants you to address which is that contract for Black America. Now right there. Sorry, go. Now I'm saying stuff like that goes a long way.

Listen, when you look at the 2016 election and you look at the fact that certain states, I think like Michigan, Trump won Michigan by like 10,000 votes. You know what I'm saying? Wisconsin by like 20,000 votes. You know how small a number of people that is? You can't afford to turn nobody away. That's all I'm saying. Now, one of your people that you've done like political work with was at the RNC, Tim Scott. Tim Scott, South Carolina all day. South Carolina. How did you feel about what he had to say about the black experience and why he votes Republican and do you think it was accurate?

He had a great line that I'm forgetting the first half of. He said, he said, I went from, he said, my ancestors went from the cotton fields to Congress. Oof. In one lifetime, we went from cotton to Congress. That's pretty fire, man. I have a lot of conversations with Tim Scott. I haven't spoke to him in a minute. I liked him, though.

But, yeah, I mean, that's just his experience, though. And I think that's one, that's a mistake that we make, you know? Just because one of us had certain opportunities presented to us doesn't mean that it works like that for everybody. For all black people, got you. Yeah. I mean, just like with all white people, that's the mistake you make when you say,

oh, all white people are rich. All white people, you know, are born with a silver spoon. That's not the case either. No, it is. We are great. We're fucking. No. It is a lot of waste of good white skin out here.

And by the way, those are the people nobody feels sorry for. It's a lot of waste of privilege out here. I actually saw one yesterday, but I would never say his name. Who? I'll never say his name publicly. Really? It's actually sad. It's so sad.

He hates on me so much. It's so sad. I feel so sorry for him. It's so sad. And he doesn't even know he's been my, he's been a part of my fuel and motivation for a long time, all based off one tweet. He sent me about eight or nine years ago. When that motherfucker said to me, we're going to run you out of New York, little homie.

He called me Little Homie. I'm going to run you out of New York, little homie. You'll never be on my level, whether it's TV, whether it's radio, anything. How dare you talk to a Radio Hall of Famer like that? Yeah, let's go. How dare you talk to a first ballot Radio Hall of Famer in that way, young man? All right. But I don't hold it against you. The reason I don't hold it against you is because your privilege got the best of you.

That's all. That's one of the moments where he thinks his privilege is going to beat my talent and my work ethic. And that can't happen. Can't happen, buddy. And I'm happy that I, listen, I always say that when you do the work on yourself, everything else falls into place. That's all I've ever been focused on. That's all I will continue to focus on. All I will continue to focus on is healing myself, right, and being the best version of myself and doing what I truly love to do,

which is empowering other people. God bless. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. And it's nothing, it's nothing to spike the football about. It's nothing to be cocky about because the proof is in the goddamn pudding. Yes. That's all.

Yes. So even now when I see certain people still hate, still have little negative things to say, I love it. But I understand that jealousy and envy destroy it from within. It leads to a lot of needless criticism, you know. And I'm also at the point in my life where as a first ballot radio hall of things, I have no reason to, you know, speak ill of anyone else. I've run my own race. I've always ran my own race.

And whatever has been my motivation over the years has been my motivation. But I truly want to thank you for those tweets that you sent out back in the day. Because it really made me want to put my foot in your ass. Do you feel me wiggling my toes in your intestines? Do you feel it? Do you feel me? Because I didn't put no shoes on when I put my foot. What up you guys?

A bad foot to. Do you feel me, wiggling my toes and your intestines? Huh? Jesus Christ, man. God bless everybody. I wish everybody the best. Tell us.

Let's do some asking idiot. Let's do it. Wait. I thought you wanted to talk about your girl. I would think. I thought I am talking to Mike. The girl from orange is a new black. She's going to play a Karen.

I don't like shit like that. I don't like those like, um, trendy, this is what's hot right now, let's make a whole movie about it. You remember, like, maybe I'm different. I always feel like movies were like, movies mean something. When you make a movie about something, like it's like a real institution, like you're stamping something.

I don't know if the whole Karen Trin needs a movie, bro. No, I don't think so. Let's go to Ask an Idiot. What do we got? What do you got for us for the Asking Idiot? Got to protect my white queens, bro. I didn't have y'all slander in my white queens

Oh Hold on Hold on Hold on Come on Taylor I'm sorry I'm sorry

I lost it Okay You got two jobs Okay This is from Rowan William Jack Will America

Burn down No matter Who wins The presidency Hmm Question Yes No

Not at all Yes No we go No it will Regardless of who wins Yes I think that some things are inevitable. I think that, I really, I mean, I really believe this.

I really think that there's going to be a bloodshed in the streets. I really do. I think that, you know, because let's be for real, there was police killings and white supremacist's killings under President Barack Obama. And there's police killings and white supremacist's killings under Donald Trump. And there's going to be police killings and white supremacist's killings under whoever the next president is. And I just think that it's inevitable.

when you continue to push and kill, push and kill, eventually those people push and kill back. Like, there's, it's been like, it's like that throughout the world. It's always some type of bloodshed revolution.

Always. It's, we act like that hasn't happened in America before. It's, it's always been revolutions. Always. Yes, I think that it's inevitable.

Now, will America bounce back? I hope so. I pray so. I think that there's enough good people in this country who believe in what this country could be that will rebuild it back better.

But yeah, I think it's inevitable. America's going to get burned to the ground. Like, shit, look, yeah, listen, it's not even just about that violence. It's about the economy. Shit is bad out here right now. It's going to take a while for America to bounce back. Andrew don't want to believe it,

but New York is done. Not even close. Why are you saying? Not even close. New York is done. Yo, New York, listen, you know who about to finish buying up New York? They started around 2015, but they stopped. Who, Chinese?

All crisp people. Keep making them jokes. No, no, we stopped that shit. We did it that shit. You bought the Waldorf Astoria. We're like, not happening anymore, fam. But no, I hate it when people say New York is done, especially people who are not from New York like you.

James Althich. People, I spoke to James. You're born and raised here. I spoke to James about it. I had a conversation with him about the whole thing. And, you know, we broke it down. There's some things I think he says that have some merit. But the reality is, one, you can't let New York go if you are the United States.

No matter who wins, if New York needs the money, they're going to bail New York out because we're the crown jewel of the Western world. This is not if you're pressing charges against the president, baby. Oh, yeah? Y'all better drop them charges, baby. Oh, yeah, but here's a question. Here's a question. Let's say Trump wins. Where does Trump have real estate in?

What city does he have the most holdings in? What city could he not go down because it would hurt his finances the most? And they'll drop those charges and you know who will become mayor next year? Who's that? Donald Trump Jr., baby. There you go. Real talk. DeBlazio got to get the fuck out of here.

That's a fact. But in all seriousness, New York, man, there's no way New York could be done. But this is what happens. There are people who move to New York for their career, right? You're an example. There's tons of other people who come here for their career. and then when their career no longer benefits them to be in New York,

they're like, ah, New York is done. New York is made by New Yorkers. We make this the greatest city in the world, and we're the reason why you want to come, we're the reason why all these other people want to come, all these comics want to come, all these artists, all these creatives come. We make New York hot.

Y'all come here because it's hot. That New York Pride is real. And then when y'all leave, you're like, New York is done. No, we're hot and other people are going to come in for the heat. And then once New York is popping again, y'all going to be right back over here. Like, y'all New York is going to pop up.

I'm going to be honest with you. I feel like immigrants make New York go. My mom's immigrant. Not New York. Not Native New Yorkers. My mom's immigrant. She came here. She's still here.

That's what I'm saying. Here's the difference. Here's a difference. When immigrants come to New York, when immigrants come to New York and they become New Yorkers, is this how you know you're a New Yorker? You're New Yorker when a little funky shit happens in New York gets a little sketchy, you don't go run. That's how you know you're not in New Yorkers.

It's not about you've been here 10 years. It's not about you've been here 15 years. It's when shit goes down. You go, nah, this is where I live. I'm not going nowhere. It's Leonardo. Caprio in the movie the big short. I'm not going nowhere.

Bring it the fuck on. The difference is you're born and raised here. Damn right. So when you look at a place, right, I think I read the other day and said like, it's 13,000 vacant apartments in New York or some shit like that. Mine is one of them.

I can't risk my shit. I saw that dude on the upper east side, the upper west side or whatever. He got that house that was worth 13 million. He sold it for three. Here's the thing that the pandemic showed everybody. Number one, this is just too expensive

of a place to live, right? Like you literally have to be in a certain tax bracket to live relatively comfortably in New York. Yep. And number two, man, when you trapped in that motherfucking house and you're in an apartment building and you can't go no motherfucking way,

you can't even go out and get some fresh air. That's why New York be so packed when this shit ain't no pandemic. Motherfuckers just need to be out to keep moving. 100%. 100%. I don't think New York at this moment

right now for what it is is good for people's two things. Their finances and their mental health. It depends. So it's like one, you're right about some things in James Alexander that you're also touching these things. You're absolutely right. The real estate market is

going to take a massive hit. And you know what? It should. And I say this is someone who owns real estate and I'm going to get fucked in this. But I accept it. It is overinflated. It is bloated. Right. And where is it specifically bloated in Manhattan? Okay. What overinflates Manhattan, these finance duches that are moving here and buying up shit. China buying up all these buildings and not even moving people in.

These Russians buying up buildings and not even moving people in. So you have all these vacant places. So now there's not enough places for actual New Yorkers to live. So New Yorkers got to move all the way out to fucking East New York. Where's your place at? East New York. You got to be in damn near fucking Chicago just to live in New York practically. Guess what?

Native New Yorkers could get in on that action. Oh, and we will. Please believe we will. I'm salivating. If they were busy building instead of just being proud to be New Yorkers. Who do you think built this shit? Who do you think...

Immigrants. Hey, immigrants. You got to understand. When you immigrate to New York, you're reborn. You know what I'm saying? It's like, what is it? When you're born again, Christian, you're born again New Yorker.

If you immigrate here, you're born again New Yorker. If you come here so you could be an actor on Broadway and the second Broadway, and you call yourself a New Yorker for five years while you're here, and then all of a sudden Broadway shuts down and then you move back to your fucking horse ranch in Kansas. You're not a New Yorker. You never was a New Yorker.

I love New York. I love New York. New York has been great to me. I'm always going to do radio in New York. You're welcome. But let's be clear. I saw the holes in New York a long time ago. And I told Chris Dad a long time ago.

There's tons of holes in New York. I'm not saying there's not holes in New York a long time ago. We need to shed the skin. We need to shed the skin. And don't get me wrong, there's ebs and flows to all this shit. It's happened before and it will happen again. overinflated because the whole world wants to be here. That's what it is.

I understand. You know what y'all need? Superman. Trees. You know why Brooklyn's... Listen, you know why Brooklyn still... You know why Brooklyn is growing? Why?

The fucking trees. It's a little bit more suburban, yo. Can I tell you why, though? I'll be honest. This is why this is like low-key great in a lot of ways. Because all the motherfucking yuppies and like these finance duches, they got second home, third home, fourth homes. So they all left.

But they never what made New York great in the first. first place. Nobody's like, I'm moving here so I can hang out with some fucking suits at Avenue or One Oak. Fuck that. You come here for the culture. You come here for the diversity. You come here for the vibe, right? You come here because there are a bunch of hustlers and people hungry like you. Not somebody pushing papers in an office building there's 90 stories high. Fuck all those offices. Here's the thing about New York. That's crazy. The office building is kill New York. The thing about this is Manhattan, specifically, is too dependent on Wall Street and the financial markets for the bloated city government that it has.

The great, and I say this as a Manhattan night, born and raised Manhattan, the great thing about Brooklyn is, there's no financial markets there's support in Brooklyn, right? Broadway doesn't support Brooklyn. All these crazy nightclubs and shit do not support Brooklyn. Brooklyn's economy is supported by the people in Brooklyn, a lot of mom and pop shops, a lot of mom and pop restaurants, a lot of these. Like Long Island, Queens area. Like Long Island, Queens, etc.

Right. So those places will be far. less affected by this, you know, the economic fallout of the pandemic than Manhattan will. Manhattan is going to go through it. We are going to go through it. That's what I'm, when I say in New York, I'm talking about Manhattan. Oh, you got the Jerry Seinfeld version of New York, that fucking cornball he is? That motherfucker is so corny, bro.

Shut up, Jerry. Listen, Andrew fighting against itself. Manhattan's going to go through it. I'm just like, fucking fuck Seinfeld. Yo, no, I'm tired of Jerry Seinfeld, bro. What does Seinfeld have to do with this? He said this. I'll never abandon New York.

You've seen it from your mansion. in the Hamptons, you cornball. Shut up. The second this shit got rough, you went out to the handons, you fucking dork. Say a curse word, you nerd. That's all.

I don't curse in my comedy. I don't curse it. You're 70 years old. Say fuck, you whiny little bitch. Jerry told me to tell you he'd been in the Hamptons for 25 years. Yeah.

He probably has. So shut your mouth. Got some coffee with a comedian, you dork. I've never heard. I've never heard dork. He's a fucking dork. Jerry is a good example of a native New Yorker.

Oh, shut up. He's from Long Island. He's not even native New York City. He don't even think that Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island are part of New York when he was describing New York. And he talks about, oh, how could you ever replace East Village? You've never even been in the East Village. You're in the least diverse part of all of New York, the Upper West Side, is Connecticut. You're basically in Connecticut.

So I don't want to hear anything. I read the article that he did this week. He said, he said, so you think New York is dead. It's not. You know what I'm saying? He's with you. He's with me. I'm just now with him.

It's going to be a little, listen, it's going to be a little, it's going to be, my problem with New York always has been, New York should look like Dubai. Manhattan, New York should look advanced as fuck. With all the money that we're paying taxes, all the money people paying fucking tickets

and parking tickets and all that shit like that. Yep. It should look more futuristic than it does. Sure. And I think, I think that's why it's going to go through this downward, period. Manhattan specifically, yes. Manhattan specifically.

And I think Manhattan is going to bounce back. It's going to take a while. It's going to take a while, yo. And it could take a while, and that's totally understandable. And you know what? It's okay. That's part of it. That's part of life.

Life is not all, like, New Yorkers have lived in this existence where, like, everything always trends up for our entire life. We have these little blips, and then we come back up, and it's like, it's okay to have ebbs and flows. And that builds fucking character. Imagine growing up your entire life in all, no matter what, things just keep on getting better. Stock market keeps on going up.

The price of your property keeps on going up. That's not realistic. That's not what people around the world got to go through. So this is what builds that fucking character. Let's go. You say, if you could make it here, you can make it anywhere. Prove it, motherfucker. If you're a New Yorker and you're worried about this shit,

get your balls out of your purse, all right, and start being a fucking man about it. And let's make this city as great as it should be. It's up to us to make the city great. Simple as that. It's definitely up to native New Yorkers who are still here. who have the money to rebuild the city.

Damn right. To help to help rebuild the city. Either way, though, you're going to have to buy down to the agents. Nah, fuck all that. I'm telling you. Nah, fuck all that, bro. The Chinese about to come in

and buy some more this real estate. They're not allowed to have none of it. If Andrew Yang runs for mayor of New York next year, he's going to win. You bowing down to the Chinese. Nah, bro. God damn it. No, bro.

Chris is going to get his revenge. Chris, listen, I don't give a fuck what you say. All these years are going in on Chris and his culture on this podcast. No, no. Chris is going to get his victory. No, not going to happen, bro. We're not accepting no money from communist China, bro. Uh-uh.

We're building this from the ground up. We're building it from the ground up, bro. None of that coming Chinese money, bro. I'll take Taiwanese money. I'll take Taiwanese money. I'll take that Taiwanese money. Hey, if Taiwan won't want to. It's the best. Let's talk, Chris.

Tap in and tell how your people about to take New York over. I'll take Taiwanese money. I'm not taking communist Chinese money, Chris. I'm sorry. It's not happening. I'll take Taiwanese money, bro. I would love some Taiwanese money. You might not have a choice, though.

No, I'm going to tell Andrew how the Chinese about to take New York over. Not. Nope. I mean, I think it's already happened. And unfortunately, it's, you know, I think it's what you said applies to Brooklyn, too. I do think Brooklyn is going to be in big trouble because. I think a lot of the corporate lawyers and a lot of the money has moved into Brooklyn over the last 10 to 15 years. So I think Brooklyn's going to get hit pretty hard too.

It will get hit hard. It will not get hit hard as Manhattan because it doesn't have those massive office buildings that Manhattan does and the abundance of them. Like all this office space in Manhattan is about to be worthless. That's a rap. That's a rap. And it should be a rap. Like, the fuck are we doing? Like, why was it that inflated?

Why do you want to be on the 60th floor? of some random building looks disgusting in this really cool, chic neighborhood that you ruined by your glass monstrosity. I don't know. Like, as a real native New York, you see a lot of these buildings go up and you're like, the fuck is this, bro.

What is this? What's going on? But we're not taking any of that Chinese money. We're not going to do it. I'm sorry. We'll go to war before that shit. Let's go. Who got some oil?

Who needs some liberty? Whose women are getting treated poorly? You know what I'm saying? Who needs freedom? I can't wait to live in New China. I can't wait. Hey, bro. Okay.

Andrew Yang is the mayor. Is he even Chinese? Is he going down? Is Andrew Yang even Chinese? I don't know what. Taiwanese. Taiwanese. See, I fuck with him.

He don't fuck with China neither. He's Taiwanese, bro. I don't know the difference. He's Asian, right? Taiwan broke off from China. China doesn't recognize Taiwan, but Taiwan's lit. They're capitalist.

And it's just, I'm all about it. Well, thank whoever that was for, that good question. No need to do anymore. Really? Yeah, we're out of here. I think that's a good note to end on. 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 just think we're a couple of idiots who don't know shit, don't worry, we're going to add an Asian to the podcast next year. All right. It's the brilliant idiotist podcast. Thank you for listening. Thanks.
