What did you see this week that made you say, what a fucking idiot? Positively brilliant. Now, let's start with what a fucking idiot.

What a fucking idiot I was. to think that Bill Belichick had anything to do with the Patriot success. What an absolute fucking idiot I must have been to think that he was anything more than a babysitter for the greatest football player. And arguably, some might say, I won't go there yet, but some might say the greatest athlete in history. I threw that question out there. I threw that question out there.

Is Tom Brady the greatest athlete of all time? I think it's highly debatable. You know, I saw Robin Lundberg. Robin Lundberg was actually talking about JZ because JZ got a new verse coming out this Friday with Nipsey Hustle, a foot from the soundtrack to Judas and the Black Messiah. And Robin Lundberg said,

Jay Z is the greatest rapper of all time. I forgot how you worded it, but I left a comment. I said, it's not debatable. I said, Tom Brady is the JZ of athletes. Notice I didn't say, that the other way around, right? And so somebody left a comment and said, you need to stop saying stupid shit like this out loud. Tom Brady looks up to Serena Williams. Now, Serena Williams,

absolutely one of the greatest athletes of all time. But I do not understand why people underestimate the degree of difficulty of American football and the degree of violence of American football. Serena is not one of the greatest athletes of all time. She's probably not even top 20,000. She's the greatest female athletes of all time, but she's not one of the greatest athletes of all time because if she played soccer, she's admitted this. She's like, if I played tennis with guys, I wouldn't even come close to winning. So if we're just talking about completely neutral, you remove sex from all these things. You're not going to put Serena in a category with Jordan, Tom Brady. I've never heard her say that. I don't know the degree of

difficulty of tennis. I don't play tennis. It does. It looks athletic. It looks like you have to have some speed and some hand-eye coordination. Female athlete, absolutely. 100%. I think Serino will bust a men's ass that play tennis. No. No. I don't know, bro. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how, I don't know the degree of difficulty of tennis. I don't watch it enough, but I, I'm not going discredit her and say she's not top 20,000 athletes of all time. Hey, you want to know something? What? Neither do I. I'll discredit her. I'm not difficult that shit is, bro. But I discredited it.

Hey, I can tell you what I can say with the utmost confidence. What's that? Male or female. Tennis ain't as violent as football. Not even close. You know what I'm saying? Not even close. That's all.

That's all I'm saying. The degree of difficulty of football and the violence of football is what makes me say, man, I don't see how Tom Brady's not the greatest athlete of all time. Well, maybe we should say team sport to make it equal. That's the other thing. If you go into individual sports, it's tricky. Because in individual sports, the greatest athlete of all time is probably Usain Bolt. Because if you really want to look at competing, right, everybody in the world,

not everybody has picked up a basketball, not everybody has picked up a football. I grew up going to public school in New York City. There was no outlet for me to play football. We didn't have football teams. We didn't have a football stadium or any of that. We didn't have football field, right? We used to rent out our basketball court that we used to have. So not everybody has access to football.

Michael Phelps, some people might say, oh, he's the great athlete all the time. He's like, yeah, the greatest athlete of all time that could take swimming classes. A lot of people can't afford to take swimming classes, right? You have to be wealthy for swimming to even be a hobby. or you have to live near water. Usain Bolt, everybody on this planet has run 100 meters straight. Every single person. So he is truly the fastest human being ever because we know who's running fast.

Yeah, but he's not getting tackled. Ain't nobody running after him. That's my, I guess it's the degree of violence in football makes it different. This is the not for long week. All right, then. All right, then. What about boxing? I mean, for me, if it's not him, is Floyd.

Floyd, to me, is the greatest, great of all time. Boxing is up there. I'm not going to lie. Boxing is up there. It's an individual sport. It's violent as fuck. You know, I actually, and I respect Floyd. What Floyd has done is incredible.

If I had to give it to a boxer, I would have to give it to Ali. Only because the heavyweight division is violent as fuck. I'd have to give it to Ali. And when you look at Ali and how fast he, he is. His defense was second to none. He had power. He would bang with you. It got to a point where Floyd wasn't doing much banging.

He was winning fights with his defense. Yep. That's true. But he dominated. He dominated. He dominated. 50 and 0. Been hit a handful of times. We're talking about the hardest sport to be dominant as you

get older. I mean, you look at Ali. God bless his soul. As he got older and he started to slow down, Ali was getting pieced up. But Ali took three years off, came back. So did Floyd. Wasn't Floyd locked up? I don't remember.

Yeah, he did get locked up for a second. Okay, so why not George Foreman then? Because I factor age into this shit, bro. I got you have to factor age, especially in boxing and football. We're talking about 40. We're talking about a 43-year-old man, bro. Yo, the most woozy I ever seen Tom Brady was today when he was, Today when he was walking out that goddamn bar.

Drunk off tequila. That's the most. Say what you really want to say, bro. He's a 43-year-old white man, bro. I didn't even think about that. I don't get race. I don't got nothing to do with that. Oh, no, it does.

We don't age that great, bro. We don't age that great. There's not a, I've never seen a 40-something-year-old athlete be that dominant, regardless of what race they are. What about Lisa Ann? I don't even know who that is. Porn star. They're athletes.

That's not athletic, bro. That's not physical ability. You want to talk about violence, bro. Taking them big old things. Taking them big old things. I got to see how much anal she takes. It's all about the end. A lot.

She's been taking big old things. I will say I do have a different respect for porn stars that do double penetration. When you watch them porn hub and you're watching women, it in the vagina and the penis. Lord have mercy. I respect the men. Not even flinching. I take a shit and be ready to pass out.

Imagine something going in. Like, God, dang. So sometimes. In times I had colonics, I wanted to freaking cry. Really? Oh, colonics ain't no joke. When they shoot the water up in there? Colonsonics ain't no joke.

Absolutely. That's why that's why I hate when people, you know, disrespect me and say I'm gay, but I'm a bottom. Like, no, don't disrespect bottoms like that. I don't have that kind of scrimf. You would be a top if you were gay? Absolutely. I couldn't take it in that ass.

No way, Jose. Is that gay, though, if you're a top? I don't know if that's gay. Gayish. Yeah, you're gayish. You got to take at least one dick if you want me to give you full gay, bro. You know what I mean? You know what I mean?

If you're a top, you're just LGBT cute. It's like I respect you, but, eh. Come on, bro. You play pro in China, bro. You ain't really play pro ball. You're not really in the league. Let's be honest. You're not really in the league, bro.

Imagine you took dicks, and then there's some guy walking around talking about, yeah, I'm gay. I'm gay, too. And he's like, no, I've never taken a dick. Get the fuck out of here, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I respect bottoms way more than tops. Like, if you're going to do it, do it, God damn. Yeah, you got to go for it, bro.

I don't even think they should be able to go to the parade. Listen, but they got to spectate like the rest of us. They got to sit on the sidelines like the rest of us. And then give high praise to the real gaze. So that's a good fucking point. Salute to all the bottoms, man. That's what I love bottoms. I love bottoms that are proud to be bottoms.

That's pride. bro. You know what I'm saying? You're taking it, bro. You know what I mean? You are taking it. You know what it is? It's like if you're like a cook in the military, like you're in the military, you're in the military, you know, but kind of.

You know what I'm saying? Be a man, bro. Be a man. Be a man and be a fucking bottom. Yeah. All right. Take that dick. Take some shaft.

You pussy. I will say this, though. You know, it's going to be debatable whether Tom Brady is. greatest athlete ever. I don't, I don't, I really don't see why it's that much of a debate. Like some of these people folks are naming. I'm like, stop. All right, stop. What do you mean? If you get on a fucking football field, let, this is all I tell you, let Aaron Donnell, let, I want any 43 year old man, they get on the fucking football field and let Aaron Donald sack them. And then you tell me what kind of respect you got for Tom, man enough to be a bottom Brady.

There you go. There you go. Matter of fact, Aaron Donald's, Donald Sack you, you have a whole new respect for bottoms. That's a fact. Okay. They're dealing with that on a daily basis. Where do you rank Tom Brady as far as white men? I got him number one all time. You have him number one all time in history?

Number one all time. We did a poll on the Breakfast Club the other day. Our white listeners were calling in. From our poll, the top five white men of all time, Tom Brady, Abraham Lincoln, the Undertaker, Christopher Columbus and Keanu Reeves. I'm serious. How the top five?

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on a. It goes Undertaker. Then who? Christopher Columbus? It was Tom Brady. How did Christopher Columbus get in there?

I have, somebody, the people will call it like you're Christopher Columbus. Tom Brady, Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, Keanu Reeves and the Undertaker. Y'all just think Christopher Columbus is dope

because he didn't discover y'all. You know about white people? Yo, if he discovered you guys, you'd have a whole different perspective on Christopher Columbus. Exactly. He'd be like, bottom five. Bottom five. That's the story, though, right? Yo, Tom Brady, top five whites?

What about George Washington, bro? G. Dubs. You got to throw something at G. Dubs. I knew you was going to say that. And that's what I said. I said the only people you'll hear people compare it to is the founding fathers. I think Tom Brady should be on Mount Rushmore.

Not the Mount Rushmore of athletes Put his goddamn picture up there With George Washington Thomas Jefferson Who else is up there Ben Franklin and Abe Lincoln Greatest white man of all time Is Sean King hands down

There's not even It is not even close bro I'm gonna tell you something People hate on Sean King But I'm gonna tell you something bro Yeah When it's all set and done And they talk about civil rights activists

Sean King is going to end up being the most searched king of all times. Listen, Sean King is on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's heels. You know what I'm saying? Dr. Martin Luther King, God bless the dead. He ain't out here firing off new tweets, bro, bro. I know, bro. Sean King got it, bro.

Nobody got a better way, go. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy is solidified. Yeah. The bad part about having a solidified legacy, you're not here to add on no more wins to it. That's right. And Sean King is just racking up wins. Yo, yo.

He's racking them up. Bro, I'm not even joking. If you ask a certain generation of people right now, right, a certain demographic, I don't know what the age range would be. I'd say maybe, I don't know, 17, 25. You say, yo, who's the most famous civil rights activist king you can think of? I wouldn't be surprised if Sean comes on. I'm being honest with you, man.

Are you saying that Sean King is the most relevant king when it comes to civil rights? There's an argument to be made. No, no, no, no. It's still Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. hands down. But I'm telling you, Sean, because of the digital world we're in, and because of how stupid people are, good chance. That he could get it. It's a good chance. in the future. He'll never be number one on my list.

He's never going to get a boulevard, but he could get like a road or something like that. I wouldn't, y'all, I'm not going to say Sean. I'm not going to get a boulevard. You think he'll get Sean King Boulevard? Bro, Sean King is out here, bro. Sean does a lot. Y'all playing with Sean. Yeah, I'm not playing with Sean. I know he does a lot.

I'm very proud to see my brother out there fighting the cause. John does a lot, bro. I'm just telling you, I think, is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the goat, greatest of all time. Got you. Not too many. He's one of the top transformative figures ever in the history of the world. Facts. But I'm just telling you when it comes to civil rights activism,

in the future, Sean really might be number two, bro. Wow. At least by just by name, by name recognition. He's definitely number two king. That's a fact. But can he take that top spot? What would he have to do to take that top spot? Get real legislation passed that changes the game, like the Civil Rights Act of 1964,

like the Voting Rights Act, you know what I'm saying? Stuff like that. You know, Martin Luther King Jr. Even his assassination in a lot of ways led to an updated version of the Civil Rights Act. Well, I think if I'm not mistaken, they introduced HUD. Don't quote me on that because I'm not a scholar and this is the brilliant idiots. But, you know, Martin Luther King Jr. did a lot of transformative things. You know, Sean would have to do stuff like that.

What's more transformative than like being born white and turning black? Okay. Isn't that the ultimate transformation? Like, when you really want to talk about... John is black. What? Come on, bro. Listen, listen, we all started in Africa.

Thank you, bro. I've been telling me. people at. I'm African, dog. I got a 24-carat, AK-47. If that ain't the most African thing. I see you with the Jay Prince, AKA-A-47. Say what? I said the AKA-A-47. Like, that shit is a sorority. For turkey, bro, what you're talking? That's the AKA-47. You shoot that shit and goes, Hey, wee! You got to fire it with your pinky.

You fire it once And it just starts stomping the yard You got fired with your pinky That's how you fire at AKA 47 Yeah, that's hard You'll paint that shit pink and green Yo, you're right bro Put it on Instagram

Say this is an AKA 47 Like this, you gotta shoot it upside down bro You got to shoot it upside down Pinky Listen though I do think I do think that we're We're not appreciating what we're seeing

With Brady I do think that It's unbelievable It's unbelievable. It's truly unbelievable, man. It's football. Yo, Schultz, let's talk real for a second. We're talking American fucking football.

The Not for Long League, where people last six years, seven at the most. This guy's been around 21. He's 43. Max Kellerman had the greatest point. I don't know. I think you might have said this last week. I don't remember. But Max Kellerman had the greatest point.

He was like, even if you took the last five years of Tom Brady's NFL career, he's still a first ballot. Hall of Fame. Oh, no, everything he's done since the age of 37. So from 37 to now. I think he's been to five Super Bowls after the age of 37, one four. Come the fuck on, man. Bro, he has more Super Bowls himself than any team in the NFL.

That's wild. That's the craziest statistic. That's wild. He's more himself. And to go to another team and do it and then make Belichick look like an absolute useless tool. I mean, brilliant. First year after leaving the Patriots.

I mean, it's just unbelievable. Do you remember when Belichick tried to trade him? Because he wanted to start Jimmy Garoppolo. Do you remember that? Somebody was telling me that this week. I don't remember that one, though. Yeah, that's what happened, bro. Anyway, it is what it is.

But that is absolutely something. Yeah, and what a fucking idiot is Robador? What do Robert or do? He said he welcomed Brady to the seven ring club. Man, Robert, Robert, Robert. Listen, I got bad respect for Robert Ori. I think Robert Ori is dope. But it's the difference between Robert, Robert, Rob,ori got rings, right?

But it's the difference with Michael Jordan saying, I got six, or Magic saying I got five, and Robert Sandy, I got seven. I think you have to be the catalyst of a team winning. those rings to be able to like brag about it. Like, come on, Robert. It's like a billionaire's wife bragging about being a billionaire. You know? And it's just like...

What if she helped, though? What? What if she helped? They do help. There's no question that wives help. Yeah. You know? But it's not the same as making.

Same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? I'm not saying Robert didn't help. Man, Robert hit big fucking shot. Big shot. Big shot Bob. Big shot Bob.

But he knows it different. People are just trying to attach themselves to greatness. That's what this is about. Like you see LeBron doing it. That shit is sad. LeBron is so thirsty to attach himself to Tom Brady's greatness, bro. Tweeting nonstop, like a little fan girl. And I really think that that's about LeBron recognizing that he'll never do what Brady did.

So he's trying to latch on to the identity of Brady to put himself in that same space because he knows he'll never be able to win seven like Brady. Listen, even if Braun win seven, even though I do think Bronn's going to win at least one more. One more, yeah, sure. One more, maybe two. Maybe two. I do, honestly.

So that'll put him at six. But, yo, once again, I go back to the fact that the degree of difficulty in football is different than the NBA. And guess what? Even though Brady went, Brady went to 10 Super Bowls, which is unprecedented in the NFL, he won seven show. Do you realize this is the only time Tom Brady has had a blowout victory in a Super Bowl? Yeah.

Every game has been super close. That's because he was coached by Bill Belichick, who's a bum. And if he had a real coach, then he would have had a blowout victory like this. Notice his coach didn't even have a Super Bowl victory. Bruce Ariens, oldest coach to win a Super Bowl. That's how dope Tom Brady is. He could take a loser, put him in the position as coach, and then win him a Super Bowl the first year. It's brilliant.

Belichick. I can't wait until the Patriots win the Super Bowl next year. Yo, yo. The Patriots will not, Bill Belichick will never win a Super Bowl again, and I'd be surprised if he makes it to the playoffs for the rest of his career. I love when you make those definitive statements like that.

The exact opposite comes true. Hey, bro, we got a lot of podcasts to do, okay? You know what I mean? We've got a lot of time to fill. There's a lot of podcasts to do this week. I can't be reasonable and pointed in every one of my. takes sometimes we got to cook some shit up baby you gotta cook some shit up i like to take though i like to take just saying i don't believe the take because you underestimate one thing and one

thing only the will of a white man scorned that is a good ass point bro bill bellichick and even robert craft to a certain extent they're not going to want to feel like everybody thinks tom brady was the sole reason that they won all those goddamn super bowls they're about to spend top motherfucking dollar to do what they got to do to make the Patriots the contender. I expect them to make a lot of moves this off season. They can only spend so much. There's a salary cap, right? They don't got shit, though. They ain't paying nobody now. Who they paying? Listen, they had the opportunity to do something last season. It's not like they had a bum quarterback. They had a past MVP of the league, right? Coming on coming off of tons of time off.

And they just couldn't get it done because they're not good. The Patriot way is the Tom Brady way. And the second Brady left, the Patriots stink. Honestly, Tom Brady is the leader of that team. I bet you Tom Brady was involved in the defensive schemes as well. I bet you Bill Belichick was useless. Tom Brady was like, just show up in your stupid fucking sweatshirt did you cut the sleeves off of? There's a reason why Bill Belichick wouldn't answer questions in the press conference

because he didn't know the answers because he's a fucking babysitter. The guy does nothing, nothing at all. useless. I disagree. But we'll see. We're going to see, and speaking of coaches, Tom Brady was greatly coached.

Yeah, Byron Lefich, offensive coordinator, Todd Bowles, defensive coordinator, both brothers, who I got to say, what a fucking idiot to that reporter? What's that reporter's name,

Taylor, Matthew McDonald or some shit like that? Chigity-thin-de-thin-thew- motherfuckers interviewing Byron Lefwich and going to ask Byron Lefwich about his defensive scheme.

And how to fuck his, how his, wow. Just because he's black, you got to be the defensive coach, huh? It wasn't Michael Donaldson? Michael Donaldson. Byron left, which is like,

you got the wrong person, man. You need to ask Todd about that. It's just like, God damn, bro. All black fucking coordinators don't look alike, which is another reason, well, I will always continue to get the Beatles wrong on fucking purpose. Who are the Beatles?

Elton, John, Sting, John Travolta, and Keanu Reeves. That's a fire band right there, bro. That's the Beatles, bro. That's a fire-ass band. I love saying, I love saying, yo, man, Justin Bieber was always my favorite member of Vincent. I see what you did there, dude.

He on Justin Timberlake ass, too, by the way. Why do they, what is it? What is going on here? Don't act like your girl ain't make you watch that Britney documentary. Nah, she was watching it alone today. You said, she was watching for real. Yeah, I'm still here at the studio at fucking midnight. Midnight doing the brilliant idiot's podcast, baby.

It hits you? Say what? Now she said I'm watching. I was like, I was like, no. Yeah, they give, they, they're giving people a lot of flack for the way that they used to, the way they used to treat Brittany. This is all secondhand information. I don't know anything about this shit.

I just have, you know, white girls around me. Uh-huh. You know, like, like my partner Karen and Paige. Yep. And they were distraught about this shit. Yeah. Don't fuck with Britney. My home girl, Erica, America.

You know, Erica, they were disgrunt about this shit. I didn't know Britney Spears meant so much to so many people, bro. Bro, that's our Mary J. Blige. You said what? Brittany is a white people's Beyonce. No, Brittany's white people's Mary J. Blige is different. I don't know the facts of the situation. I don't like, I will say this.

I don't like the fact that whatever the fuck happened, it drove Britney Spitz crazy. Her mental health was severely impacting and severely affected. I just thought it was because of stardom. You know what I mean? Which I do, I still think start and plays a major role in it, man, because I really truly do feel like, bro, let's be honest, man. Nobody's meant to be that famous. Oh, that's a good ass thing.

Nobody's meant to be that famous. It's the same thing with social media. You're not meant to interact with millions and hundreds of thousands and thousands of people every day. And I just think that there's nobody meant to be that famous. You shouldn't be so famous that you can't even fucking go to the grocery store. You shouldn't be so famous that, you know, you got to put mask on your kids and all that. Like what, seriously, what kind of way is that to live?

Because when you're rich, right, you're part of the 1%. Mm-hmm. When you're super famous in rich, what percentage is that? There's only a few people on this planet that have ever felt that. Yeah, that's true. Who wants to live like that? Your kids can never have a normal life. You can never have a normal life.

That shit will drive anybody fucking insane. Yeah. That is a good point. Especially if you do it as a kid before you know who you are. Come on. Yeah, that's tricky. Come on. Well, yeah.

I mean, listen, man, it's just hard. You know what I mean? So my heart does go out to her in that aspect. I got empathy for her. Is there a reason why you feel so connected to white women? Gorilla glue. It's guerrilla glue. All right.

Guerrilla glue is what has me connected to white women. Can you explain this guerrilla glue scenario, man? What happened, bro? I'm not sure, but I will give what a fucking idiot to the people who are telling that young lady to sue.

To sue gorilla glue? They're telling her to sue guerrilla glue. I think I read some tweet where, man, where's that tweet at, Taylor? What happened? This young lady put gorilla glue in her hair, okay? Because she was, um, she was trying to keep her fucking hair down.

Explain it, Taylor, you're a black woman. Okay, so, um, basically she sprayed, she got confused. She thought that her spraying her hair where gorilla glue would be the same as her spring her hair with like the regular hair stuff. Um, and I honestly, I don't feel any sympathy for her because now I'm thinking about it.

Gorilla glue is nowhere in the hair store. How do you even get that confused? She went to Home Depot. Exactly. You know she went to CBS, it wouldn't even be in there. And I feel like what's funny is she probably sprayed that on her. And a couple, like the next day, she's like, oh shit, my hair is still late and shit. Probably hype as hell, knowing damn well that it's still fucked up.

Like, it's actually fucked up. And that's why I say it's crazy for people to be telling her to sue. Like, I saw somebody say something about, uh, gorilla glue, black women use hair glue, right? And the person in the tweet emphasizes, he was like, black women use. But no, he put hair glue, right? But that right there makes everything you're saying null and void. Because gorilla glue is not hair glue.

Guerrilla glue is not in hair stores. Gorilla glue is not on the hair. There's no reason to be putting gorilla glue in your fucking hair. No, but there is. What do guerrillas got to do with glue? I think that's what we need to be asking. Why do gorillas have anything to do with glue? It's the alliteration, bro.

That's all it is. People love alliteration, bro. But, Sharmine, there is a gorilla gel. No, it's the same type of... It's called gorilla snot. Okay. No, well, when I looked it up, it said gorilla gel, and it looked like the same type of...

No, it doesn't. It's the two totally different packaging. Stop. You say anything, Taylor. Oh, my gosh. All right, fine. Gorilla... It's called gorilla snot for hair.

Gorilla snot. gel. It's in an orange tube, right? You said what? Which one are you looking at? Because I looked it up yesterday. No, you did. You googled gorilla snot gel. And the first thing that came up was the gorilla glue clear spray adhesive that she shouldn't have been using. And that's what you were looking at. That's the orange. No, not. Okay. Well, this one's yellow. My bad. But there's a gorilla on it. I'm going to send it to you. What? I'm going to send it to you what I'm saying. It is kind of close. What? Gorilla snot? Yeah.

I'm gonna put it in the chat. It's really not. The gorilla snot gel bottle is yellow. It's shaped like a fucking... Yeah, that's what I'm doing that. Yeah, that's what it's not. But she probably thought it was because it's two gorillas. That's all.

No, that shit is similar, bro. No, it's not. She should sue, bro. But it literally doesn't... She should sue, bro. I hate to be the only one defending black women on this show. But she got a sue, bro. I hate, once again, here I am the only one defending black queens on this whole program.

But she got a sue, bro. That black queen got her wig snatched by gorilla glue when she was just trying to gorilla's not. It's a foolish lawsuit and she's 40 years old. She's not some young girl. She's 42. She's 42? No, I said, no. Oh, she's 40.

She's 40 years old.

Just A. Trying to improve your diet in the new year? I know I am. I know I am because last year, during the pandemic, I did my diet that Dr. Natasha Sandy puts me on and you know I got down to 170 which is my weight I got on the scale the other day and I was at 187 and I do not want to be at 187 okay so a good place for me to start is just egg just eggs scrambles cooks and tastes just like the eggs you're used to but it's made from plants okay just egg is protein packed but with less saturated fat and no cholesterol

and that's a big deal knowing how much cholesterol is in eggs if you have two chicken eggs with breakfast. That's already 124% of your recommended cholesterol for the day. The science is pretty clear. Plant-based diets can have a dramatic improvement in everything from heart health, the lifelong longevity. Now, would you fuck with the plant-based poultry shows? Of course. You got to do it, man. Absolutely. If it looks like it, it tastes like it, and it's better for me. I'm all about it. Simple as that. I need what looks good, tastes good, is healthy because your boy out here getting thick. I'm thick, bro.

Thick, thick, thick, thick, thick. Bro, I am super thick. It's a problem, bro. Really? Yeah, I got to lose weight. You ain't think it's Mark, bro. You ain't think it's Mark. No, I don't got it back there.

Like Mark built like a donkey. Well, Just Egg is a great way to start eating more plant-based for your health without sacrificing taste. It tastes and cooks just like conventional eggs. Put it in an omelet, scrambling. French toast, banana bread, patai, whatever you like to do with your eggs. Did I pronounce that right?

Did I land that? I fucked that up. It's not patai. Pad Thai. Patte? Pad Thai. Pad Thai. Oh, so it's actually pronounced the way it looks.

Yeah. Oh. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Just egg is also better for the planet using 93% fewer carbon emissions and 98% less water than a conventional egg. It takes 53 gallons of water to produce a single egg. Yes, 53 gallons.

Another good reason to go plant base. You can find Just Egg pretty much anywhere at most grocery stores, including Whole Foods, Walmart and Kroger. And on Amazon Prime now, our Instacart, Just Egg, a better egg for you and your family. Thank you, Just Egg. It's a great product.

Now, let's get back to this show. Do you have some church announcement show, T?

Yo, I'm back on tour, man. Okay, let's talk about it. The Andrew Shultz.com. Go check out the shows. We got a few shows up right now. A bunch of them are sold out already. So go get them real quick. But I'll be in Salt Lake City, then Columbus, then Nashville, then Atlanta, then Raleigh, North Carolina, West Palm Beach, Phoenix, Arizona, and then Tampa Bay, Florida.

And I start going out on the road in March, and it's going to be good to be back. And I'm down here in Florida, and I'm going to try to get on stage out here as well, because it's been about a year since I did stand up. So I'm excited just to get back into it, man, to start crafting up this special. and make something make something really funny but also like really unique. I got some ideas, man. I got some ideas.

My church announcements are simple. Go pre-order Tamika Mallory's book, State of Emergency, how to win in the country we built. It'll be out May 11th on Black Privilege, Shimon and Shuster Publishing. So go get that.

And, you know, just continue to check out the podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network. We really appreciate it. And, you know, Shoti, you out there living reckless in Florida, bro.

I saw you in a fucking packed-ass club. I already got it, bro. You keep saying that. They got new variants, bro. Nah,

I don't believe in that. I don't believe in that, bro. I don't believe in that. I don't. Like, if you ask me if I believe in it. I don't believe in it.

I think my antibodies got it. I think my antibodies are nice. I got the one size fits all. dog, it don't matter. Have you checked to see if you got antibodies? Because you know you can do the antibody test to see if you still got them. Well, I already had, I had corona, so I figured I got some fucking antibodies out of that shit. Only last three months, they say, though.

Well, I got it two months ago, so I'm still out here. It was that long ago? Yeah, December. So I got December, January, February. So I got a rock through Black History Month with these antibodies. And then come March, you know, then we'll see what we got to do. But I think my antibodies are good. I really do wonder what the fuck Florida in Georgia are doing.

They don't care. Nobody else is doing. Can I tell you something? They don't care. Everybody here has already had it. When you get here, you go out. You assume you're going to get it. Okay?

I can't say who might have gotten it or who might not have gotten it. It doesn't matter. But the point is you just go out. Somebody in the crew got it again? No, nobody got it again. That's also a myth. I don't think that you can get it again. But there's literally we're out.

It is what it is. Everybody gets it. then you just keep it moving. That's literally how they deal with it here. You just assume you're going to get it. You get it. You deal with it for a week. And then you're back in the game and you are ready to rock and roll.

I mean, clubs are open. Restaurants are open. Bars are open. It is life as usual, normal. People shake your hand when they meet you. You know what I mean? Like, it is life before corona. And they are thriving.

Let's open up a club down there, a comedy club called herd immunity. I love that. The H-I. I love that. When you walk in, Corona waves at you. We have like a virus mascot. When you walk in, he's just like, hi, hi. Everybody comes in, they shake hands, they hug, you let them pass joints around.

You know what I mean? Share hookahs. It's just the way to get their herd immunity going. Admit you miss it. Admit you see it. You're like, man, I want to go out. I'm a recluse, bro. Listen, I'm a homebody.

You talk about antibodies. I'm a homebody. You know what I'm saying? I'm a cancer. I like to be home. I don't miss it. any of this shit. I'm going to be honest with you. The only thing I do miss, honestly, only thing I do miss is a good comedy show and a good dinner. Like a good, like, you know,

I like to have big dinners. You've been to my joints. I like to have big dinners with family and friends. You know what I mean? We sit around, laugh and kick it. Other than that, I don't miss this shit, bro. Bro, move down here, bro. What are you doing? Just move down here. You got to come down for a month. Come down for a month, see how it feels. And then, do more. Simple as that. I'm definitely coming to Miami while you down there. Hey. I'm definitely coming down there. I'm coming down there while you're there. I'm going to come for a weekend or something. Let's go. Once this move is over, I'm in there, brother. When are you moving into the new spot? This weekend. Really? Excited or what? Um, man, that's such an interesting question.

Uh, I was telling my wife last night. Like, this is, this is different. first house I ever bought. Prior, prior to, um, you know, this, I rented a house. I mean, I stayed in apartments my whole life. And then I rented a house. This is the first house I ever bought. And I was even telling my wife like, man, I'm so attached to this house. I wonder if you should have just kept it as a rental property. Right. And, um, I was thinking about, I literally was thinking about this last thing. That's why it's so crazy you asked me. It's like, we, we've been living in this house for five years. And this is a house where, where like memories were actually created.

Yeah. My second daughter is five. You know, my, my third daughter is two. This is, even though we've been ever five years, I can count on like, I think it's been like 16 people that have been to my house over, over these five years, like literally, like 16 people, like, you know, other than like my mom and my dad, her mom and her dad,

but like friends, right? And we got good memories here. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm in the basement right now. We've had some great memories. in this basement. We've gotten super fucked up in this basement playing spades with with family. You know what I'm saying? Like like I said, we got good memories here. I've had great

conversation in this basement. I've come up with great ideas sitting in the backyard. You know what I mean? Hugging my tree. I'm going to miss my treat at a hug. Even I got plenty of them where I'm going, but I'm going to miss the one I hug. My sacred purpose coach Yadi actually told me to bury some some gyms in the roots of the tree. So Debbie Dev, Debbie Brown, sent me a bunch of stones to bury there. But yeah, I'm attached to this house because of the memories. You know what I mean? Yeah.

My ghost will be, I'm not saying my ghost will live here. I'm saying there is a ghost of me that's here. You know, you ever watch those movies and they show like a, like a scene where like things are growing up, but they show like Christmases and, you know, Thanksgiving's and first time kids rode bikes. Like a lot of that happened here. Yeah. I'm, I'm always have a lot of.

So, but yes, I'm very excited to go create new memories at the new spot, but I am attached to this. You sold the house already? House is sold, baby. I'm not doing good. Jersey real estate market is hot. Booming. Booming. I mean, I did mad renovations when I moved in because this basement wasn't done at all.

It was just all slabs and shit. So I turned half of it into like the bar, black privilege lounge area. Right. Can we see? And then the other side is the, is the, is. the gym. Oh. You know what I mean?

And then outside I put the pergola. Yeah, you got that purgola, bro. A pergola outside. So, yeah, I did a, I did a lot of different renovations to this crib. So, you know, it was, it was prime real estate when it went on the market. But, yes, it's sold. You got a unique ability to, um, manage to cut half your face off every single time you look into the camera, bro.

It's impressive, bro. It's honestly impressive, bro. I've been eating this shit throughout the whole episode. I only want you to see half of me, bro. What's wrong with just seeing half of me, bro? There we go. They say that, sorry to interrupt, but they say that moving is one of the most stressful things to people.

Now, you're not stressed at all by this? I was because... I thought I sold the crib too fast. Hmm. Because the new house, the renovations aren't done yet. Mm. And, um, you know, the, the, the, the, the contractor was, was off on the time. Hmm.

And so like, you know, my wife is getting a lot of renovations done. So I was stressed because I was like, damn, we shouldn't have sold this house. Because I thought I was going to have to rent a house. Yeah. To live in. but nah we're just going to live through renovations baby we're just going to thug it out i love it because you know the house is pretty spacious okay okay what area the section of the house they're working on it's a lot more house to live in that's you know can you can you tell me the area

what do you mean where you're living like is it in jersey can you uh nah nah nah because you can't have what you holding in your hand in jersey you know what i'm saying you can only have handguns I mean. I could have that A.K.A. 47. You know what I mean? In Florida, bro. Let me just show you how to cock this shit. In Florida, bro, you could do whatever you want.

If you accidentally shoot Alex, that shit will be so stupid. Say what? If you accidentally shoot Alex, that'll be so stupid. Nah, dude. I can't shoot Al. That's my guy. Oh, that shit's real? Yeah.

The 24-carat gold AK-47, bro. What do you fuck you think? You think I'm having fake AK-47 on the podcast? No, that's crazy. Ever since y'all stormed the Capitol, y'all really been scrapped the fuck up, I had to keep some of the toys. Y'all ain't playing no fucking game.

You think you could just return a gun? So I had to come out here in flex in Florida with my peoples. You know what I mean? Let's do some shit you won't care about you. What? Yo, your boy Trump about to get impeached. I believe it when I see it.

Huh? I haven't been following. I can give a flying fuck about politics. Bro, I'm in Florida, dude. In Florida, people don't care. Say what? Florida is the politics capital of the world. No, bro.

This is the home of Andrew Gillum and Motel Methorgies. Big A.G. Big A.G. Bottomed out. Say what? I did Andrews podcast this week. Make sure y'all check that out. Oh, shit.

Did you ask him about the event? That ain't none of my business. That's not what I was on that podcast for. What were you on a podcast for? We were talking about it, a bunch of things. of different stuff. You know what I mean? Like talking about anxiety and depression and talking about, you know, just politics and, you know,

creating a black political, black political culture. You should read Andrew's story in GQ because it is very, it's a very interesting story. Because it goes back to what we was talking about when we talk about, you know. Is GQ short for LGB? He falls into that category. Oh, that's right. He said he's by. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He definitely falls into that category. Respect. Respect, bro. It's a very interesting because, you know, you realize, like, imagine, like, you're, you're getting the way you need to be, right? Shultz, you're growing as a personality, as a comedian, everything. And let's just say right before you're about to do that one monumental thing that gets you where you want to be, in his case, it was governor of

Florida, it doesn't happen. You, you buy this much, like literally this much, you lose, 30-something thousand votes, whatever, whatever. Since you into a spiral, you know? Thank God, though, real talk, because Florida be closed if Andrew Gillum was the governor. I doubt it. Well, be honest. Think so?

It's Democrat leadership, man. They're going to close it all down, man. What else is closed? New York. New York ain't closed. New York just dead. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yeah. Nah, nah, no, no.

It's open, bro. You can't backtrack, bro. You already said it. You said New York is, you said New York is the Bill Belichick of fucking cities, bro. That's what you said. You said we once thought the fucking city was great. And then we found out that it was fucking not. It was overrated and overhyped.

Maybe we found that out by coming down to Florida, my friend. Like, by the way, like millions of other New Yorkers had. Noriega is like, welcome to the. party. Fat Joe is like, welcome to the party, fucking Andrew. All right. Fuck is wrong with you. Cold ass winners. The people didn't think Northwest painted that goddamn picture. She ain't paint that picture. Come on, bro. Y'all be hating. Why y'all hate so much?

I mean, did she paint it? I don't really care. I don't know. I have no idea. I don't see why somebody would lie about that. Kim also just put a video up of her showing what she did when she was one years old to one of her, like, designer bags. What? You have to just go on YouTube. Kim put up a picture or a video of North

doing art on her designer bag and she like painting all over it. Oh, yo, yeah, Taylor, you don't got to double down on shit we don't care about. Yeah, yeah. This is your shit we won't care about next week. We don't really give a fuck. Yeah, yeah, Taylor, it's all. Paint it or not. I will say this. This is one thing I do give a fuck about because it's just more

proof how dangerous the goddamn internet is. How the fuck. Not even the internet. The media period. How does the LA Sentinel wake up one morning and run a story saying that Lauren London is pregnant? That's a fucking established newspaper in L.A. And so that shit becomes a super trending topic all over social media only for Lauren London to say, what the fuck is wrong with y'all? Like, where does this, where do people pull this type of shit out of thin air? Well, I've got a rumor for that we can pull out of thin air. Talk to me. Word on the streets is,

Chappelle's getting the rights to his show back from Comedy Central. That's the word on the streets. But you thought he wasn't? Well, I think that. Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. Listen, listen, you tell you something. Yeah.

That's Dave motherfucking Chappelle. That's true. That's true. Like, in this climate, the last thing they want is smoke with Dave motherfucking Shippen. That's also a very good point. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, has reached a level of folk heroness.

Folklore. Like he's like a mythical figure. You don't want no, you don't want no problems with that. Like you don't, you don't want to be the guy that's holding on to the Chappelle show. You know what I mean? Did you just lose my video? It's the battery exhaust. Damn.

Yeah, you don't, you don't want to be the guy that's, that's holding on to the Chappelle show. You don't want to be that person. You don't want to be the person that Dave Chappelle is getting on stage, going at night after night. Like, give him the rights to the show back. Who gives the shit? Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You're right. And listen, Dave said it himself. He said, um, it's business. Yeah. But is it right? It just depends how you look at it. I look at it as its business. And I think what Dave is doing is business. He's got leverage because he's Dave motherfucking Chappelle.

Yeah, that's true. You know, I do, I do, I do, um, wish he'd tell us more of the story, though. Yeah. No, I hear you. I would, I would like for him to tell us more of the story. Tell us how that happened. Tell us how he, you know, ended up in that position to begin with, you know. Yeah, I agree with you.

That'd be, that'd be nice to know. But it was a really impressive chess move that he played. He basically made the show unsellable. Yeah, I just wish Dave would tell, you know, the full story. Like, you know, give us some details on how you ended up, you know, in that situation to begin with, you know? I'm not sure the full story of the business is being told. But, you know, other than that, I wouldn't even call it a chess move.

It's just Dave Chappelle being in a position of power. You know what I mean? Leveraging his cultural cachet to get back some. something he wants. Yeah, I'm just saying the chess move is like by making the show radioactive, nobody will want to buy it, right? Because he will, he'll make those networks look so awful to the people that the networks want to support. And by doing that, if you can't sell a show, you might as well just give back the assets. Like, a show is only valuable if you could sell it. You know what I mean? Yeah, if I can't air it, what's the point? If it, if it, if I,

If I'm if I'm Viacom and you know, Netflix says, look, man, we're not running this shit because Dave don't want us to. If HBO Mac says we're not running this shit because Dave don't want it to. What do you do? Let it sit in the vault. Yeah. Do you want to make some of that license and money? The only way to make some of that license money is the gave, give Dave back the rights to the show or structure the contract to wears more in Dave's favor. Who the fuck knows?

Yeah, man. He fucking did it. I'm not mad at it. You know, I've seen, I've seen this happen before. You know, like, like Jay Z used his. leverage once to get his master's back. Really? You know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. When he became president of the Dev Jam, I don't remember the whole story in detail, but I mean, that's what you do. You grow, you evolve, and you put yourself in a position of power to write a lot of the wrongs that you made when you was younger. Hmm.

The game is about. I think so anyway. Yeah. That's my personal take on it. Yeah. What else we got? Aunt Jamama finally has a new name. I don't give a fuck.

Pearl Milling Company. Yeah. If you're going to the store looking for Anjama Serp, that ain't happening no more. Yeah. What else? Oh, Van Jones. Did you see Van Jones on the view? No.

Oh, yeah, he got Sonny and Anna and Anna, they jumped on his ass. They did Van. They jumped all over, Van. For what? For doing shit like taking selfies with Candace Owens, for, they called him a political opportunity. Um, they said that sunny told him that a lot of black people don't trust him. Really?

Um, you know, yeah. And I mean, two things can be true, right? I mean, listen, I wouldn't call Van Jones a political opportunist. Uh, I would call Van, because all, all politicians are opportunists. Well, van's not a politician. He's not even a politician, but that's what I mean. When you say political opportunities, it's like everybody in politics is opportunity. That's just the nature of the game.

Right. I would say Van Jones is a political dick rider. Ooh. Big shot. No, no, no, no, that's not a shot. It's just, it's just a way of phrasing something because he's willing to ride whims ever empowers dick to get something done.

You know? And by the way, when I call it dick riding, I'm just using that as hood slang. Usually, you know, we say somebody's dick riding when they're showing a lot of love to someone. If it's a guy showing a lot of love to a person, they'll be like, yo, stop dick riding, you know what I mean? Or stop ass kissing.

Question. If you're riding the dick, you're the top. No. You're on top. Yeah, but if you're riding that dick, it means the dick is in you. It's in you, but you're still on top. Your power bottom. You're a power bottom.

Your power bottom. Good point. Good point. Okay, so back to Van. You know, just with Van, it's just like. you know, Dick riding will never be a respectable form of transportation. And when people don't understand what it is you're doing, like, yes, van gets a lot of people out of prison. You know, van has gotten prisons. Van has helped. He's helped to get a lot of people

out of prison. He's helped to get a lot of prisons, you know, closed down. He does great work. And he's willing to cozy up with whoever's in power to get the work done. Whether it's Democrat or Republican, he's been doing it for. the past couple of decades. So, you know, people may not agree with his methods. You know what I mean? What is he doing now, though,

that people are so upset about? I think it's that though. It's just the fact that he cozyed up to the Trump administration. You know what I mean? It was like, you people were saying things like you didn't have to be

all in the White House, smiling, showing your teeth. And the reality is, look, man, if this is something that you've been fighting for, you probably, you'd smile. You know, once that first step back gets done. You know what I mean?

Regardless of who the president is. So I can't, I can't judge that man because I'm not doing the work that he's doing. You know what I mean? That man, Van Jones actually, he does get a lot of shit done with the help of reform alliance and the help of other grassroots organizations. He does get things done. But I do think two things can be true. I think that he can do great work.

But people can also look at him and say, hey, bro, you're doing too much skinning and grinning, man. You don't got to do all that just to get something done. What is the negative side of doing the skinning and grinning if it gets the thing done? I don't think that the only negative, the only negative side is all on man. You understand what I'm saying? Meaning like the positive helps so many other people, meaning the positive helps people get out of prison. Positive helps those families to be reunited.

Right. The negative is Van got to eat that criticism. And honestly, man, if Van really cares about, you know, prison reform and getting people out of jail the way I think he does, that's just a small price to pay. Yeah, because if you really care about prison reform, you're not going to stop caring about it because the opposition is in office. You got to care about that every single day. So you got to work with whoever's there.

I mean, that's what politics is. That's the point of this game is work with whoever's there. This idea where you just go bah, humbug, and then like cross your arms and refuse to talk to the people on the other side, that's not politics. That's not democracy. I will say I can see how people feel about the Trump shit, though, only because, you know, there's never a reason to normalize anything the Trump administration was doing because what the Trump administration doing was just simply not normal. But he didn't have, sometimes you normalize it when you get on TV and you say things like in that moment Donald Trump became president. Like, eh, you know, all that's debatable.

I personally don't think he had to do all of that. I don't think he should have normalized, you know, Trump in that way. But once again, it's hard to criticize Van Jones because Van Jones is out there doing the work. You know what I'm saying? And listen, most motherfuckers that are really passionate about something, they don't care how they look to other people as long as they get shit done. Yeah. Yeah. They just don't give a fuck.

Yeah. They're not doing it for the optics. They're doing that shit because they really, really want to get shit done. No, that's a good point. Van Jones, he dick rode Donald Trump. He going to dick ride Joe Biden. Wasn't that a song called Dick Ride and Obama? No, I never heard of it.

Yes, it was. Wasn't there? A song that went viral called Dick Riding Obama? No, I mean, maybe. Who was it by? That's the fucking Boondocks. I'm tripping. Yes, the Boondocks.

The Boondocks did a song called Dick Riding, Obama. It was from an episode of the Boondocks. I think actually, Will I Am, well, I am actually wrote it, I believe. Don't quote me on that. How does it go? And Obama was a song in the Boondocks. People, Dick Ride, President. bro the fucking president but how does it go what's the song uh let me see if i can pull it up

here so on youtube guys well we'll get flags heard it you say what we're gonna get flagged if we bring it up really yeah it's only a minute and 12 seconds long i think it only takes a few seconds before they flag it youtube's on that ass let me let me see if i can find the lyrics dick rodin obama you know you man you got to watch the boonduck that was you you and your wife, you need to sit down and watch tonight. Really? God damn boondocks. Over the Britney shit?

Yes. Dick riding Obama. Yeah, will I am and thugnifficent? Let me see if I can find the fucking lyrics. Got up this morning, things were working right. I said I want to make a change. I said I want to fight. Obama walked up and said, yes, we can.

I said I want to ride your nuts because I think you're the man. Now I'm dick riding. Obama, Obama. Now I'm dick riding. Obama, Obama, Dick riding. Obama, Obama. That's the fucking joint. That shit used to slap, bro.

Nah, that's fire right there, hell. That shit used to fucking blast. Yeah, that shit's a fire, bro. Well, the moral of the story is I don't think Van Jones is a political opportunity. I just think he's a political dick rider. And it's fine. You know what I'm saying? He's willing to do that.

Let him be willing to do that to get motherfuckers out of prison, but they don't have to ride dick for real. Now, Taylor, it was some fucking asking idiots. Wait, you're not done. You don't want to go more into like... Taylor. Taylor. Taylor.

Taylor. Give us some asking you right now, please. I want to say, y'all want to talk about the weekend performing at the Super Bowl? No. No? I didn't even watch it. You don't watch the Super Bowl at all? I watched the Super Bowl.

I was barely watching fucking the weekend. And then that Bow Wow wants to become a wrestler? Taylor. Shit, we don't care about next week. Okay, fine. All right. Hold on. Hold on.

They'll just trying to stall. I do have some. Hold on. I'm waiting. Wait. Wait. Because it's in the story thing. Okay.

Ready? Um, this is from T.J. bottle pockets. Do y'all think the vaccine is going to be a social VIP pass for private events? Man, get them odd antibodies and grow up. That's what I got to say. Get some antibodies and grow up like the rest of us out here. Slanging antibodies like there's nothing.

I don't think, I don't think it's going to be no fucking whatever you said for VIP events. VIP events don't pay the fucking bills. What pays the bills is regular everyday motherfucking people. You want that vaccine and everybody so they can get the world, you know, somewhat back to normal. That's shit ain't going to be for no VIP people. Hell no.

It's not going to be strictly for, VIP folks. Why do you think that who ever think that is? I mean, you know why though? Because one artist said that he wants listeners to get vaccinated

when attending his concert, right, once things open up. I forgot who it was, though. Tell him a grow up too. Next question. R. underscore Maya 97 wants to know who has a shot of beating Joe Biden

the next presidential election. Joe Biden. Jeff Bezos. Mother nature. Father time. Yo, that's facts. The grim reaper. Yeah.

Now, that's true. The new strain, what do you call? The new variant. Biden's only doing one term, you think he'll do the full term? I don't even get through the full term. I'll take bets on that.

Now that's, now that is a bet I'll take, I'll take. I'll take. Two years. I don't think he's doing the full time. Two years tops. I mean, two years tops.

I can see him getting things in order. I can see them maintaining control of the Senate in the house. And then him passing the buck. You know what I'm saying? Passing it on to the MVP. Okay. I'm vice president. Okay.

Kamala. I don't see him doing four years. It don't, it's something about Joe Biden that really feels very placeholder is, bro. I can't, I can't quite put my. finger on it. Like, it feels very, like, temp jobish. Yeah. It don't feel like permanent president Tain. Yeah, I agree with you, man.

I think he's out of here. A couple years. And then Camalita is going to take over. Yeah, look, there's a couple more. So, okay, a lifestyle underscore Mike wants to know. What's something you want to see change in the podcast space? Something I want to see change in the podcast space? podcast behind paywalls.

Oh. Podcast behind paywalls. I just, I just don't, I don't think they work. You know, we've seen it before. We saw it when a couple, a few years ago, when brilliant idiots was being courted by a lot of companies that didn't work. You know what I'm saying? Like quite a few companies, you know,

we're grabbing up podcasts and putting podcasts behind the paywalls. and you know, you lose listenership. Because to me, when you put your podcast behind a paywall, it's like, and I don't knock anybody who does it, but it's like satellite radio. satellite radio is cool and it has impact, but it'll never catch up the terrestrial radio. You know what I mean?

I think it's something about the podcast. It's something about this content being free for people. You know what I mean? And by the way, it's not free. We invest in this and advertisers invest in us. So being that the advertisers invest in us, we're able to give the content to the people, you know, for free. So, yeah, I would like to see less podcasts behind the paywall,

only because I think it's really, it really stifles the growth of a lot of podcasts. I've seen a lot of podcasts go behind a paywall and lose a lot of listenership. And I just don't think, you know, this is something folks should be paying for. I think this is a great form of entertainment that you should be given to the people for free. I think so.

What was the question again? What's something we want to see change in the podcast? Oh, something you want to see change in the podcast. Well, I don't agree with everything Charlotte said. Obviously, I have a very successful Patreon, but we do that a long. Not exclusively behind a paywall. Oh, that's what you meant exclusively.

Yes, I would never go exclusively. I think you go exclusively, you remove yourself from the cultural conversation. And that's what I care about is being part of the conversation and being able to dictate the conversation. So, like, I wouldn't remove that connectivity to the people. Absolutely not. But I- Because luminary and endeavor, that shit didn't work.

Yeah, man. I mean, I knew that shit wasn't going to work. And that's, yeah, I was very against doing that. You definitely said that. You was like, not, not fully behind a paywall. No, you can't go. people additional content like you do? You're on Patreon.

How long you been on Patreon? Like four years? Yeah, man. Yeah, we've been on paid. No, no, I don't know how long, two years or something like that. Maybe a year or something like that? Two years. Like what?

Y'all bring it? The numbers are public, right? Yeah, public, yeah. We got a- You bring in like 90 a month. Yeah, yeah. We got over a million-dollar Patreon, man. I think we're number, I think now we're number five in the world for Patreon.

So we're like top five biggest patrons in the whole world. So we've had an amazing, amazing success with it. I think people should absolutely. I've been a big advocate for it, but I think you do it alongside your free episode. So that you could maintain those. And you don't OD.

Yes. You don't OD. You give them, y'all give, y'all give an episode of Flagrant. Mm-hmm. And then y'all give the uncensored episode on Patreon. Mm-hmm. Two a week. Yeah.

Good. You keep people, you know, coming back, coming back, coming back. Hungry. It's the taste. It's a taste. It's a taste. It's a taste. Like, oh, y'all like this, come over here.

Because we're cooking over here, too. Yeah. That's all. I just don't think a podcast should be exclusively behind a paywall. If you're doing extra content, great. You know what I mean? Fine. Charge for it.

But to exclusively be behind a paywall like, like luminary and the devil was doing. And I don't know if they're still doing that. But at the time they were, nah. They'll be out of business soon. Yeah. No, that's no, bueno. I don't think that's the move. I don't think that's the move.

You got one more, Taylor. Give us one more quick one. am jd kDR i want to know is it better to be hated for the right reasons or like for the wrong reason hated for the right reasons hate it for the right reasons i have no problem being hated for anything i've i've ever been hated for because you know life is is a process and you grow and you learn and you evolve you're going to make mistakes if you ain't making no mistakes you ain't trying shit. You know what I'm saying? If you're not, if you, if you not, if you not, if you not, if you not bumping your head every now and then, like you really not really, you're not rolling the dice

the way that you should. Like all of this shit is a gamble. Everything we fucking do every day is a goddamn gamble. And sometimes you're going to win and sometimes you're going to lose. So I would much rather be hated for the right reasons than liked for the wrong reasons. Because motherfuckers that'd be liked, like really, really liked. They're probably lying. to you, bro. They're probably telling you everything that you want to hear, how you want to hear it just because they want that amen corner. And, you know, I'll tell you a million times. If you live for the cheese, you're going to die by the booze. And boy, if I gave a fuck about those bulls, I'd be dead a long motherfucking time ago. Okay. Also, like, when you, what was

the, what was the initial thing? When you're basically hated for something. that is the right reason, often history plays out to where you're loved for that exact thing you're hated for. You know, there's a lot of people who hated Martin Luther King for what he stood up for, right? And now he's a beloved figure in not only American culture, but just globally, he's someone who's admired. So if you stand up for what you believe is the right thing, you're going to get hate for that, but eventually that hate is going to turn to admiration.

So I would always say that hated for the right reasons. Martin Luther King Jr. died with a 25% approval rate. Wow. That means he had a 75% disapproval rate. Think about that. Martin Luther King Jr. Ask your dad, Andrew. And Muhammad Ali was alive.

They didn't love Muhammad Ali. Yep. You know what I mean? But guess what? He was hated for all the right reasons. And history is always kind to those kind of people. Backs. Always.

Backs. All right. 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. right but if you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know

shit you're right too it's the brilliant idiots podcast thank you for listening base all right guys
