Starting point is 00:00:00 It's so stupid. It's positively brilliant. The brilliant idiots. Yep, Charlamyne Gaut. Andrew Sheld. We are the brilliant idiots. And is this a dream? Is this really happening?
Starting point is 00:00:11 NBA playoffs madness? You're damn right. It is. Marky Challenges, folks. NBA playoff action is here. And the Lakers are still considered the favorites to win it all. Are they? I don't want to be.
Starting point is 00:00:22 I don't know. I don't know. Man. I don't sleep on those nuggets, man. But my bookie is the only online sports book that love the NBA as much as you do. That's why you have over 150 bets for you to choose from. Will any team go 8-0 after the restart?
Starting point is 00:00:37 No. How many points will LeBron average? Who's winning on opening day? The Lakers? Are the Clippers? I think we got the answer to that. With thousands of lines and a host of props, my bookie's the only name you need to remember when it comes to getting
Starting point is 00:00:49 action today on the games you watch. I join the day and my bookie will double your first deposit. And not only would they match you dollar for dollar, but they're also throwing in a free $10 NBA future bet. just into promo code idiots to claim when signing up. Remember at my bookie, the terms is simple. You bet you win. They pay.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Let's start the show. Let's do it, man. Where do we go, man? What did you think, man? What did you think about this week? What was positively brilliant to you? What was positively brilliant? What was a fucking idiot?
Starting point is 00:01:21 I don't know, man. I'm just so drained and exhausted, you know, the Brianna Taylor verdict was yesterday. I didn't expect justice. I didn't expect, you know, the cops to be held responsible. You know what I'm saying? And listen, I've looked at the case. I totally understand the case.
Starting point is 00:01:40 At the least you got to get a manslaughter. Right? At the least. To whom? I have someone who I think that they should give manslaughter to, but it's actually not one of those cops. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Pushed to me. The person that potentially lied to get her house under surveillance. Because I think what is they, James something, Jones or something like that? Cool. Who you talking about? There is, apparently there is a cop who, in order to get her house
Starting point is 00:02:09 on the surveillance list, lied, I guess, about, like, her connection to this alleged drug deal. She was dating prior or, like, gave misleading information to put it because there's no reason to put her house there because she's not involved. She's not even with the guy anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:25 So why is it even on the list? So if it turns out that that person did falsified things to get her house on and then this ended up happening, you got to charge him with a bare minimum manslaughter. Yeah, I mean, that's the problem with the whole situation, right? Like, clearly mistakes were made, whether it was that what you're talking about, the fact that they changed things on the report after the fact. You know what I mean? No offices did. Like, so clearly there was some type of malpractice that happened. There's no job in America that you can fuck up on
Starting point is 00:02:59 and there's not some type of consequences and repercussions. That's all I'm saying. You know what I mean? I'm not saying that the cops willfully kicked in the door. I was like, oh, there's black people in here. Let's kill them. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:03:08 But there was a mistake made. And the fact that Brianna Taylor happens to be a black woman, it just, you know, piles on the feeling that so many of us already have, which is America just does not give a fuck about black lives. Yeah, this is like this really, This really sucks because if we all had the feeling that America does care about black lives, then we could look at this case.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Objectively. A little bit more objectively based on what happened. Like obviously, it's a tragedy what happened, right? But when you look at the events that transpired, they go to this house. There's some discrepancy with other- Under false pretenses. Under false pretense that could have been lied about by this dude, who I think needs to be held accountable, 100%. some are saying that they did knock on the door,
Starting point is 00:03:56 some are saying they didn't. I believe the Brownster's boyfriend said that they did hear a knock, and that's why he went there. I think he said that they did, and then some neighbors are saying there was no knock, and some neighbors saying there are. I don't remember. I do remember him saying something to the effect of,
Starting point is 00:04:10 he said, yo, who's there? And nobody said anything. Right. So they heard that, he said he heard the knock, but they didn't, he didn't hear them announce themselves as police. But don't you think that's stupid? If you have a no knock warrant, why would you knock? It makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:04:25 But just to get into like the shooting part, right? So it's like he sees somebody break into his home who has not announced himself as a police. So he has every right to defend himself 100%. Right? The police think they're breaking into a potential drug spot, right? So when they break in and they see or like he or gunfire, they're like, oh shit, we got action. Boom, exactly. So both sides, this is the crazy thing that's going on, right?
Starting point is 00:04:51 both sides think that they're shooting at drug dealers. Brianna Taylor's boyfriend is thinking, oh shit, is this Brianna's ex who's upset that I'm dating her now? He might be in the streets allegedly involved in some shit. He did say that. Very important to know he did say he thought that it was the ex-boyfriend. It was the ex-boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Breaking in or something like that. Right? So he's like, oh, shit, this is a drug guy. He's going to kill me. And then the police are like, oh, we're breaking into this drug house. They shooting at us. So both sides think they're actually shooting at the same person. And both sides, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:05:21 unfortunately, we're both in their rights to do that, right? What happened afterwards when the cops are covering up what the fuck happened? Because they know they fucked up. They need to be held accountable for that shit. And that dude who potentially lied to get her house under surveillance when it should have never been surveyed in the first place, need to be held accountable for that. But I honestly, I'm like, what do you say to the cops?
Starting point is 00:05:42 What do you tell them? Yeah, I don't know. I'm not, I'm not. What would you do to those cops that are there? What would you do? I would hold them accountable for trying to cover shit up. 100% do you hold but the verbiage that we hear is arrest the cops
Starting point is 00:05:57 that kill Brianna Taylor is it arrest the cops they covered up the death of Rihanna Taylor is that more yeah 100% same cops but is that more like an accurate but that's what makes it look like it was an actual like more than a mistake
Starting point is 00:06:16 the fact that they tried to cover it up but that's what people do they try to cover up their fucking mistake 100% But the moral of the story is somebody should have been held accountable. There's no way. I don't even know what the fuck want to fuck. I thought wanton was a soup.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I'm serious. What the fuck is that? I had to look that shit up. I'm like, what the fuck is one ton endangerment? Chinese taking over, bro. These guys, yo, you know it's so crazy. No, man. What's so crazy?
Starting point is 00:06:39 They're taking over our laws, bro, our fools. I'm selling a property. And I was at the property. And this dude comes immediately. Not stereotyping. I just knew you're from Staten Island. Soon as I saw him, soon as he saw him, soon as he pulled.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I'm just like, this guy is all the way from Staten Island. He's like, he looked like a fucking cop. Everybody's standing on it looks like a cop, bro. There's one way to look out there, like a cop.
Starting point is 00:07:02 He had to flick back hair. Exactly. Yeah. He's like, he's like, hey, is your property? I'm like, yeah. He's like, he's like,
Starting point is 00:07:14 can we talk without the, without the, the brokers? The broker? What? So, Italian, bro, keep going. We're going to talk about Italian. So immediately, I'm on guard now.
Starting point is 00:07:27 You might have been stereotyped me, but he wasn't because he did ask me if this is my property. He didn't say, hey, you're cutting grass here? Yeah, he did have me. So I'm like, he's like, can we do it without the broker? And I'm like, well, I already got a, you know, an offer or whatever, whatever. He's like, yeah, my brother is, he wants to move out here. And he's looking for a place close to us. And I'm like, where's your brother to live at?
Starting point is 00:07:48 I already know what he's going to say. Oh, Staten Island. And I'm like, okay. And he goes, somebody made you offer, huh? What kind of offer? I said, cash offer. Did you get in what you want? So, yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 00:08:02 He goes, Chinese, isn't it? He goes to Chinese, man. He goes to Chinese, man. He got wrong, though. You want to know something, dude? When I was buying my place in Manhattan, right? every one ended up happening with him that was it
Starting point is 00:08:22 I thought it felt so good I go no Muslim and he was like look it's like when I said he was like look let me give you my number
Starting point is 00:08:34 all right I need to call you I think we can beat whatever off you're making whatever you do please don't shove it to the Muslims the shit was crazy
Starting point is 00:08:47 man his plan to make America White again? I have no idea. Just buy up all the properties where the minorities live. There was a, when I was buying my place, there was two properties that, like, I put money down on and then I got, I got not outbid, but I just got bid the same amount, but it was all cash offers by Chinese. Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah, it was Chinese and Russian buyers from outside of the country. And it's just them trying to get their money out of China or Russia. Wow. Why? I wonder why. I don't know. Maybe they have more control of it over here, you know, less restrictions than Chinese government. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:21 But like, apparently we cut that shit out. You can't just be from China and just like buying a property. That's what happened in Vancouver. Apparently, like, China owns all the apartment, not all, but like a huge amount of the apartments in Vancouver. And then people from Vancouver can't afford to live there because all the apartments just bought up and no one's even living in it. Well, I'm not mad at the Chinese, we're figuring it to fuck out. Yeah. All right?
Starting point is 00:09:41 So they figure out their economic power and they are using it as they should. That is so Trudeau about Italians never want to just pay for things the way they're paid for. You're rubbing his chin. Like, can we do it? But like, first of all, like I got a buddy, right? Like when he pays for dinner, he gives the waiter the cash like that. And he kind of like looks away. And it's like, you're not doing anything illegal, money.
Starting point is 00:10:09 He goes, he goes, he goes, yes, yes, yes. Thank you very much. He kind of like looks around. It's like, you're obeying the law by paying for your meal. That's how things work. Dude, I'm a buddy, another buddy, Paul Verzi. Shout to Paul Verz. You're very funny comedian.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Oh, man. This guy tips everybody. Everybody. It doesn't matter what you do. Like, you know, when you tip at a restaurant, you just tip at the end, and then that tip goes to everybody, right? But like, the guy comes over, brings water. He goes, this kid was hustling. I mean, he was swat.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I had my cup down at 25%. He's back over the table. He's filling that cup up. I had to give him some cheese. What do you mean? I peeled off a couple. I peeled off a couple. It was some cheese.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I'd be like, hey, that water's full, kid. And I appreciate what you do. Everybody gets a little scrap. That's good. At least you paid attention to detail. Because these waiters do be busting their ass and women. But, bro, the busway, too.
Starting point is 00:11:08 The waiter to the busway every. What's it Paul's this shit, Al? Dude, this guy tips everybody. The guy at the subway. Thank you for the metro car. Listen, I guess the moral of the story, rest in peace, Brianna Taylor. I don't know. I don't have no answers for nobody no more, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah. And I hate, the one thing I do hate, don't politicize black people's pain in order to tell them the fucking vote. I don't like that shit. Ooh. Go, go. The reason I don't like it is because, yes, should we vote in November? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:11:39 We should vote for the top of the ticket. We should vote for the Senate seats, everything. But you have to remember one thing when you're a black person. in America, right? Black people have been seeing these kind of injustices forever. Doesn't matter the administration. Doesn't matter what party is in power. Doesn't matter if it's national, if it's local. All we care about is the injustice. So just saying, hey, vote and that'll fix it. Come on, man, stop. We know that's not, we've seen it happen a million times all across the board in all of these different places. We know that it's not that absolute solution. You know, because
Starting point is 00:12:16 When you're talking about civil rights and civil liberties, great. We need those upheld. We want people to follow those and respect us for having them. But you know what you got to respect more than anything? A person's human rights. You know what number one human right is? Life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:33 You're right to fucking live. If you don't see me as human, we're not even going to get to the civil part. Yeah, that's the tricky thing, man, because that's the contract that we have. We were talking about this on Flayering, too, but the contract, that people have with the government when it comes to justice is if somebody breaks the law, the government handles it. Boom. Right?
Starting point is 00:12:54 That's our contract. The government goes, yo, we're going to handle if anybody breaks the law. We're going to deliver justice. And then we go, you sure? And then they go, yeah, we got this. Then we shake on that. And if the government doesn't deliver justice to the people who deserve it, what do you think we're supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:13:08 You broke the contract. What would an Italian do if somebody didn't pay them? Can we do this without the broker? Or he'd break their legs. That's what we're really happening. I'm just going to start breaking legs. People are like, look, we want justice, but can we do this without voting?
Starting point is 00:13:23 Because I ain't fucking with none of y'all. Seriously, and that's how people feel. And that's why it's very important for now in this climate, I guess politicians got to capture the rage people feel to a certain extent. I act like you at least know what's going on with certain people. Say something, we hold them accountable for that too. Like, you know, every time Trump, doesn't talk about something, people would be like, well, it's been three months since Trump spoke about
Starting point is 00:13:47 blah, blah, blah. Or if Biden doesn't mention the riots or something like that, they go, see how Biden is okay with the riots? He's okay with cities burning down. I hated Biden's statement. What he said? He just was like, you know, please don't, he said, peacefully protesting is fine, but we don't want violence, yada, yada, yada, yada. Listen, tell the police, the police peacefully. Tell the police we don't want violence. And I'm not encouraging violence either. I'm just simply saying, you can't tell the people in pain how to process their pain. They're in pain. So I'm just saying, have some type of empathy for like what's going on with those people
Starting point is 00:14:23 in the screen and how many times they've seen this over and over. Trump, I expect Trump to Trump. Trump, I didn't, Trump did exactly what he was supposed to do. He had a banger this week. What do you say? Which one? Oh, but listen. Hello, Rafiki.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Right. I've been telling y'all for a year and a half, Trump isn't leaving. Oh, no, no, I wasn't talking about that one. Oh. I also thought that you were acting him out calling someone Rafiki, and I was like, that would be newsworthy. I have not seen that one. But Trump has himself and Rafiqi, he's a star.
Starting point is 00:15:00 He's an absolute star. He's an absolute star. Star, Rafi, he's a star. It's a star. I'd hold him up at the end of the rock. I'd hold him right up at the end of the rock. That's the lying. Oh, my bad.
Starting point is 00:15:15 That's the symbol. What you were saying before that. Yo, Trump, do you see what Trump said about Megan Markle said? No, what do you say? Oh, this was saying. So they asked Megan, Markle, and Harry about who they were supporting for the election for some fucking reason. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:33 There's a fuck what Harry has to say about the election. And they said Biden. And then someone said at the Trump press conference. You got it, Al. You got the clip? It's all good. I didn't hear it. You got it?
Starting point is 00:15:42 So they asked him, they said, what do you think about Harry and Megan Markle saying they support Biden in the coming election? And then he says this, you got it to her. Chris Harry and Megan Markle chimed it on the U.S. election and essentially encourage people to vote for Joe Biden. I'm going to get your reaction to that. I'm not a fan of hers. And I would say this. And she probably has heard that. But I wish a lot of luck to Harry.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Because he's going to need it. We've never had a more consistent president. Interesting. You've never had a more consistent president. Trump is going to give you exactly what you expect to get from Donald Trump. Trump, I'm telling you, there's only one other person. And I've said this before. There's only one other human that I know who was everything they're advertising to be.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Over-exceeded expectations. Gucci Man. LeBron James. Oh, LeBron. LeBron is the only person. From the beginning. From the beginning, they told us this is the guy and he overseeded expectations. They told us what Trump was and he's over-exceeded expectations.
Starting point is 00:17:02 It's actually amazing to watch. And he's not leaving the White House. So do you really, do you think he's not leaving because? He's going to lose and just not go and he's going to dispute the result. It's a whole thing that I haven't downloaded enough to explain yet, but there's so many great articles on it, but it has to do with the electoral college. You know what, matter of fact, let me pull it up.
Starting point is 00:17:25 What is it about? I can read it in two seconds. Hold on. This article is in the independent, and it's by a dude named Tim Wirth. He actually wrote this in July. But I've been reading so many of these for the past year, but Trump has a plan to stay in the White House.
Starting point is 00:17:40 loses the election, right? Now, Senator Tim Wirth says, he goes, there's a strategy to suppress voter turnout by purging voters, especially inner city voters from registration rolls and suppressing mailing voting. He also believes physical polling locations will be limited, especially in urban areas, in an effort to create long lines on election day and discouraged voting. Yes, and his theory doesn't end at the ballot box. He believes that should the president lose, he will claim the vote was rigged and rely on a complicated gambit involving emergency powers and the compliance of Republican legislators to stay in the White House. According to Mr. Worf, should Mr. Trump lose in a scenario where Joe Biden beats him
Starting point is 00:18:22 by decent but not overwhelming margins. In the swing states of Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, Mr. Trump would declare that the vote was rigged. He was supposedly blamed mailing ballots in Chinese election interference for the loss and invoke emergency powers then launch a Justice Department investigation into a election. into alleged election hacking in the swing states. From there, Mr. Wirth claims Mr. Trump will stall until December 14th, which is the date when states must appoint their U.S. electoral college electors. Because the swing states are each controlled by Republicans, Mr. Wirth believes the state legislators will refuse to certify their elections until their electors until the election until the election until the election after the election.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Until the election is finished. He then claims Democrats will challenge the investigation and the challenge to the election, which will eventually be taken to the Supreme Court. Mr. Wirth believe the Supreme Court will rule against the Republicans, but will concede that Mr. Trump's emergency powers authorize him to continue his investigation. The Supreme Court will also maintain that should the swing states not be able to certify their selectors by December 14 for any reason, then the electoral college will have to meet and vote for the president without the swing states included. Under Mr. Worf's theory, the electoral college will then meet without the swing states on the investigation. And then they'll elect him.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And neither candidate will receive enough votes to secure the presidency. And then the House of Representatives, it'll move to the House of Representatives where each delegation gets to cast one vote towards the presidency since there are more Republican-controlled House delegations than Democratic-controlled delegations. Republicans will win 26 to 23. Republicans will be the victims of the vote, and Mr. Trump will remain in office.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Now, wow. That theory might sound crazy to some. Not to Rafiki. Okay? I am expecting the goddamn series for now. Our season for now, I don't know which one. The series finale, season finale,
Starting point is 00:20:03 2020 is going to be something special. If you think this show, shit is ending on November 3rd and just regular. Everybody go vote. You're out of your fucking mind and you haven't been paying attention and you don't know that guy. Same shit he said to Megan Marco. He's going to say to America.
Starting point is 00:20:20 He's going to say the exact same thing. I'm wishing you good luck because you're going to fucking need it. I'm telling you that right now. What do they mean you say about President-elect Joe Biden? I wish him good luck because he's going to need it. God's not even. You know, Trump said yesterday, if you're going to ask about the peaceful transition of power, if you throw the goddamn AFSCME T ballots away, you won't even have to worry about that.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Yeah. Just throw him away. What the fuck is he telling you? Do you think that there's a world where he wins easily? Yeah. And then none of this happens. This only happens if he loses, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:58 I don't think it's a done-neal. Yeah. I don't think Biden's up 3-0 in this series. Yeah, at all, right? No. Pretty even, I think now. And which is sad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:08 This should be, this should be easy. Trump, for Trump, you're saying. Well, this should be easy for Biden with everything that's going on in the country? Yeah, but he's dead. He's dead. Like, if he was alive, I think it would be easier, but he's dead. I'm looking forward to the debate next week. So am I.
Starting point is 00:21:24 That shit is going to be the greatest roast battle we've ever seen in our life. Y'all is just too racist up there? You like black people. No, you. like black people. What is Trump going, what is Biden going to say when Trump tells him to his face? All you've ever done is hurt black people. If you thought that Biden saying you ain't black with something, I didn't even do anything to prompt that. Trump is going to be up there pushing and prodding and poking. He can't wait. He can't wait. He's snort natural right now preparing. He's just fucking ready for this, dude.
Starting point is 00:22:01 I think it's an easy body for Trump. Easy. I don't know why that's. hell that they agreed to it. I have no clue. They should have found a way to keep him in the basement. Everything was going well when he was in the basement and they were just kind of controlling his statements. But if you're putting him out there in front of the people. Easy body. Trump's a better performer. I hate, that's the world we live in, bro. It's feelings over facts. Do you think they want him to win?
Starting point is 00:22:24 What do you mean? Do you think the Democrats want to win? Doesn't feel sometimes like they don't even want him? Man, that's so interesting you say that because... Can I make a little caveat point to that? And I don't have facts to support this as feelings right now. But like, for whatever reason, it feels to me that when there's a Republican president, there's more Democrats in Congress. And when there's a Democrat president, there's more Republicans in Congress. Right?
Starting point is 00:22:50 There's some sort of maybe balance that's going on there. We'd have to look it up to see. But maybe Democrats are like, you know, we don't care about being president. Like, let's just have all the jobs. Let's have tons of jobs in Congress and Senate. No, I think they want it all. Fair enough. Probably it's power.
Starting point is 00:23:03 It's power. They want power. They want power. I just think Democrats are too busy playing to lose because they know Joe Biden is not a great candidate. To being that he's not a great candidate, let's just like, just keep everything calm. Let's keep them in the basement. Let's not play to lose. But when you do that, you're not playing the win either.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think it's going to be bad next week during the debate because you're dealing with a person, as Hillary Clinton said, who doesn't give a fuck about facts, who will say anything to win. And that is the error that we live in. What would you say if you're Biden to Trump? How'd he throw them off? I think you've got to be a combination of facts.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Constantly press him on the things that he's done wrong. And most importantly, don't get caught up in defending yourself when he's throwing the bullshit at you. Because you can easily be on the defensive. You hate black people. Look, the 94 crime bill locked up mad black people, which you did, by the way. Now you're defending that and say, well, I did that because black people wanted me to do this and that. No, this ain't about you, Joe. Constantly keep the light on him and what he's done wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:09 $200 people dead from coronavirus. Economy in the toilet. Just keep that. Just keep that. You know what I mean? You keep that, you might got a chance. But if you get caught up and defending yourself against the Trump, just easy money. Do you think that Joe Biden is ego-less enough to not react?
Starting point is 00:24:26 No. I feel like he got ego. I feel like he's going to start snapping. He's an 80-year-old white man. But it's going to be too old white men arguing. and it's the most entertaining thing. If you think Italians are entertaining, look at two old guys why.
Starting point is 00:24:37 I mean, like, I called it whiting, not fighting. Look at two old guys whiting. And Trump don't respect him because he's Pope. You know who would have been a better? Bloomberg and Trump would have been a good one because Bloomberg got that money. Yeah, he could son him a little bit. Trump can son.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Bloomberg can son Trump. I got some white billionaire friends and they're from New York and they always talk to me about how Trump was like the... He's not a real billion. Yeah, we don't respect him. We never respected him like that. And they thought he thought the presidency was going to make them respect him more.
Starting point is 00:25:09 And they still don't respect him. Yeah. So he's going to talk down to Joe. Yeah, he's nothing. Joe, you from Delaware? But he can't talk too down because his voters don't have money. Who? Trump's voters.
Starting point is 00:25:24 It's not just rich people voting for Trump. They don't care. They just want to see Joe Biden and get slammed. They don't care. You know why? Because Trump can, Trump does a good job of, of playing the rich pole game. He's a rich man who talks poor issues.
Starting point is 00:25:37 We were saying this is such a fucking brilliant observation. We were talking about this as well. Nobody in history has done a better job of saying they're the greatest while being a victim at the same time. I'm the most amazing president. I'm the most this. I'm the most. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Kanye West. What are you talking about? They're the same person By the way, most... I get exactly what you're saying. I get exactly what you're saying. Okay, break it down, though. Most narcissists are that, though.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Narcissists. What the fuck did I say? That was something girl used to fuck. That's a Disney movie that's not coming out. Narcissus. Most narcissistic people are like that. They claim to be the greatest they have this overinflated sense of self,
Starting point is 00:26:28 but then they are simultaneously all while they're being victimized. Yeah. It is a traditional trait. Isn't that interesting? Absolutely. Absolutely. That's what I got Kanye on my,
Starting point is 00:26:39 see, Kanye goes, he's both on my positively brilliant and what a fucking idiot. Okay. Because, yes, like we said last week, you should rebel against the exploitive contracts in the music industry. And I spoke to Kanye this week. And like I told Kanye, I said, yo, I hope that this conversation you're having isn't a self-serving conversation. And what's his reaction to that? But I explained why.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I said because, you know, yes, very true. These record contracts are exploitive, right? But what you're not telling people is that you negotiated with Def Jam Universal four different times and you chose the money over your master's every single time. And you're not telling people that you own the masters of Jesus in every album of yours after that. And you're not telling the people what you finally did say that you own your artists
Starting point is 00:27:34 on good music masters as well at least half of them, right? It's like, yo, if you're going to have this conversation, tell the whole truth. Put it all on the table. You know what I'm saying? If you took the money over the masters because at the time you wanted to, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:27:50 you needed some money. You was broke. You wanted to do something. You wanted to buy a house. You wanted to stunt. Whatever the fuck it was. Who knows? Who knows what your reasonings were.
Starting point is 00:27:57 But you did. So let's have that conversation Because like I said And I said this to him The same way people Can the same way you said slavery was a choice People can flip your words on you And say
Starting point is 00:28:10 Signing these records deals is a choice too And I just want him to have the whole conversation Put it all out there If you're going to really really really talk about it. It's easy when you no longer need the money To say well I want the masters But when you made the choice Take the Masters and start the money
Starting point is 00:28:25 Instead of the Masters And now retroactively you're like How fucked up are these people these people are enslaving it, this, that, the other. It seems a little bit hypocritical. That being said, these record deals do need some remixing. Of course, a lot. It's an insane deal.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Of course. Like, we're going to front you money. You make that money back for us. Plus, you make more money for us, but we still own the music. That's an unfair deal. No one should have ever signed that deal. Nobody's debating that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:55 But how is that deal even existing today? Like, how has there not been pushed back about that? Because usually you're taking people who don't know any better. But eventually they know better, right? Eventually they know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you got to, I mean, you got to negotiate from a place to leverage. That's why this area that we're in right now is so amazing, right?
Starting point is 00:29:11 Because you have these kids who have their own analytics. They have their own data. They're stars before they ever even have to sit down with a major record label. So they don't have to sign their soul away and give it all up. You know what I mean? It's a different ballgame. You got more leverage now. Now I'm understanding it.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Because in order for you to get your album in stores, you had to be with a record label. Of course. That was the only conduit. Just like in order to be on TV, you had to be on a network. So then once you get rid of that, they take away all their leverage to put you in these, like, horrible contracts. I talked to somebody this week who was just explaining to me how like, yo, back in the day, they signed a record deal. Not for money because they were doing very well independently. They signed a record deal because they wanted the promo.
Starting point is 00:29:53 They wanted the marketing because they felt like once they used that promo and marketing, to get their brand up, they could, like, eat forever on a national level, and they were right. You know what I mean? But those are this type of strategic things that you do, you know, as you're growing in this industry. And I just think that those conversations need to be had
Starting point is 00:30:11 to give people a better understanding as opposed to just being like, all the record industry does is rob you. All what they do is slavery. All what they do is oppression. The four times you had an opportunity to get free, Kanye, you chose not to be free. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:26 You know what I'm saying? And you did negotiate a situation to where you got, you know, Yeezus and everything else after that. So it's not like you don't know how to negotiate. And I'm fine what you even now trying to go back and get your old masters. But just tell the people the real story. I need every detail to be told. Like, don't use.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Because it's very, it's law 12 and the 48 laws of power, if I'm not mistaken. Look this up from wrong, Alex. But I'm pretty sure law 12 is using select, use selective generosity and honesty to disarm your victim. them, right? So that's what you do. You give them a little bit. You tell them like, I'm in a bad, that's it. I'm in a bad contract. And you even let them see some of the contract, knowing people can't read contracts. If they can read contracts, they can see that you own some of your master's. You know what I'm saying? And they can see that you sign this contract when you was 30-something years old,
Starting point is 00:31:14 so you should have known better, right? So you use a little selective generosity and a little selective honesty, right, to just get over on people and people just eat that shit to fuck up. It's like, oh, he's telling us the truth. Look, he's telling us the truth. Look, he's telling us. He's fighting for us. He's fighting for us. He got over on. They're getting over on him. Yada, yada, yada. I think that's whack. I think it's self-serving. I'm always curious of people who like fight for the people but never put anybody on. Kanye's putting people on. He's put a lot of people on. But he's doing it. But what happens is we get in these positions and we start using the same oppressive tactics that we're fighting against. And I want every artist on good music. Big Sean, Deanna Taylor, whoever else, designer, hold Kanye to that tweet he posted. He said he's giving you back 50% of your masters. I don't know if that shit can be used in a court of law. What? But hold him to that.
Starting point is 00:32:02 And I want a report on that in the next month, two months, three months. I don't know how long it takes to give somebody their masters back. Why shouldn't take long? It shouldn't take long. But hold him to that shit. Because that should have been a thing from the beginning, right? Yeah. If you're fighting against people oppressing you and wanting your master's back,
Starting point is 00:32:25 sitting the first thing you think, well, I got all these kids. kidnapped in a kidnap to put in the basement shouldn't I let them go first before I got out here and start fighting against child trafficking you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:32:33 this shit is weird it's really that's how you know that it's retroactive right that's how you know it's how can I serve me and then people call them out he's like oh shit
Starting point is 00:32:41 I do have to button that thing up right there and furthermore it adds to his leverage right you can't ask for your master's back before you ask for the masters of the people you represent you got to be the change you want to see
Starting point is 00:32:54 exactly but most importantly getting them their masters back, maybe you lose a few million dollars total, getting your masters back? Oh, yeah. That's tens of millions of dollars in perpetuity. You're going to make way more money when you got your songs and you will with designers.
Starting point is 00:33:10 But now you can really stand on the words you're speaking. You know what I'm saying? He stands to make way more off of his masters than off of theirs, is what I'm trying to say. Of course you're going to fight for that. Now, if he was in the opposite situation, if he was a record company that cannot make money
Starting point is 00:33:26 without owning a piece of somebody, I don't think that he's relinquishing that shit. Say it again? So, for example, like he has his masters that he can acquire and make so much money of it. If he never had any of his own shit, I don't think he's given back theirs.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Oh, yeah, okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, if you're just an executive. Exactly. Yeah, if he was an executive. Like, did he give him back shit? Or did he own people's masters? I'm not exactly sure.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I'm sure he does. He probably owns people's master. I don't see him giving that shit back. I'm sure he does. I'm sure he does. And I... I mean, like, Jay. Didn't...
Starting point is 00:33:58 What was the whole thing with Jay? Oh, that's far. I didn't like that either. What was the whole thing with Jay? It was some bullshit. It was a bullshit-ass meme that somebody made online and Kanye retweeted it. And he didn't say it wasn't true. He just simply said, hey, man, don't cause division between me and my brother.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I asked him about that, you know, as well. And it's just like... He don't know if it's true or not. You know what I'm saying? But it's just like that. But my point is don't retweet that. You know what I mean? But when I saw the retweet, I knew what it was.
Starting point is 00:34:30 It's just like... That's him taking a shot. It's definitely him taking a shot. But it's just like, why, if you really care about your brother, why would you put that kind of information out there, some random shit that you just saw online, that you don't know if it's true or not? You did that because you want to rile up people against him.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Yes. Because you have still some hurt inside of you for that man. It's still some jealousy. It's still some envy that you have for that man. So you want people to start looking at him funny. In the most pussy way, too. I hate it. You shrouded it in support.
Starting point is 00:35:01 That's the most pussy shit right there. I hate when people shroud criticism in support. I hate it. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, no, I really support. We got to fight for this, whatever, all while you shitting on at the same time. It's cowardly. Don't be a fucking pussy.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Just man up, stand behind your words. If you don't like Jay, then call it out. Don't cause division with my brother that I want you all to know that he saw my shit. Yeah. Yeah, dude. And I do agree, Kanye definitely needs to be on the board seats of Adidas and Gap. Yeah, fight for that. That's dope.
Starting point is 00:35:32 But that should have been fought before you did a deal with them. 100%. Don't sign the deal. This is the thing. If you sign the deal and you don't live up to your standards, you don't give money back. Right? If I'm an NBA player, I sign a contract for $40 million for four years and I play like shit, I don't go, hey, New York Knicks, I'd like to give you $20 million back.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I played like shit. Do I? Yeah. Hell no, right? Yeah, yeah. And nobody would ever tell me to. Yeah. I think, Kanye, you understand how fucking valuable you are to a brand, mind-bogglingly valuable
Starting point is 00:36:02 as part of that value. Ask for that board seat. Ask for the board seat. 100%. Not only ask for a board seat, ask for positions. Anytime you do a deal with a major corporation, partnership, whatever, if this company is staking their reputation on this partnership with you and y'all are joining forces like this, ask for certain things that I want a black woman in this position.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I need to be on this seat right here. Like I say that before you even do the deal. There's nothing that's not negotiable, especially when you got leverage. Did you see Jimmy Kimmel profess his support for Black Lives Matter with Anthony Anderson during the Emmys in what was possibly the most cringe-worthy? Y'all watch the Emmys? No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:36:48 It's just a clip, but you haven't seen this? I didn't see that. This is... The only thing I saw was when they was trying to cancel Jimmy again for some joke he made. I forgot what was the joke. It was like, can you just play it? You told John Oliver, I'm going to call ice on you or something. No, he did it.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Yeah, he did. Good, call. Shut the fuck. Calling on Harry and Megan, too. Fuck, talking ass shit. You look how I'm motherfucking comfortable this shit goes. Now, before we announce the nominees, you know, I have a few things that I'd like to say. You do.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Yes. I do. Because in rehearsal, I thought we decided that we're just going to... You know, we have a record number of black Emmy nominees this year, which is great. This is the part where the white people start to applaud. Oh. And nod. Oh.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Thank you, Jimmy. All right. These Emmys would have been All-Star Weekend and Wakanda all-up. And Wakanda all wrapped in one. This was supposed to be the blackest Emmys ever. y'all wouldn't have been able to handle how black it was going to be but but because of COVID we can't even get in the damn building well thank you Anthony yeah these emis would have been so black it would have been like hot sauce in your purse black it would have been how would university homecoming black it would have been you fit the description black well um I'm sorry that it wasn't that it would have been great it really would have had speeches quoting our great poets like Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, Cardi B., Wop, Jimmy. Oh, the song.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Oh, totally. Yeah, right. But instead of that sexy melanated energy, here I am alone in a sterilized green room trying not to sneeze on a llama. What a damn shame. It was actually an alpaca. Don't white-splain it to me, Jimmy. It should have been a pit bull. But not tonight.
Starting point is 00:38:53 No, not tonight. This isn't what it should have been, Jimmy. But you know what? I'm still rooting for everybody black. Because black stories, black performances, and black lives matter. Say it with me, Jimmy. Black Lives Matter. Louder, Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Black Lives Matter. Louder, Jimmy. Say it so that Mike Pence can hear it. Black Lives Matter. That's right. And because Black Lives Matter, black people will stay at home tonight to be safe, which is fine because guess what? Y'all don't know how to light us anyway. No. Jimmy, I'm glad I got that off my chest. I am too. I am too. Yeah. I'm glad you did. I'm appreciative that you've given me a safe space to say this from. No, it's my pleasure. You know that. Yes. Could you scoot over so I can stand on this star? Okay. Yes, I will. Bring out. All right. That was the longest two minutes and 52 seconds ever.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Let me tell you something. You have to have a crowd, bro. Like, you got to have a crowd, bro. But, like, can you, what happened there? Like, what happened is they don't have a crowd, but they're still talking. And I see this happen on a lot of the late night shows. They're still talking as if they're talking to the crowd. Like, it's the way they talk.
Starting point is 00:40:11 They haven't adjusted to not have it. No, man, you got to listen. This is when radio comes into play, bro. I was about to say. A stand-up. Yeah. I know, not even stand up. Radio more so.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Radio, podcasting. Yeah, radio and podcasting. Like, you got to be able to just go up there and talk and not worry about what a reaction is going to be. Like, that shit sounded. Awkward is fuck. What was the Jimmy Kimmel, like, Black Lives Matter repetition thing?
Starting point is 00:40:34 Like, that just felt so awkward. It felt like he was being bullied in the saying Black Lives Matter as if this is what it felt like it was as if he didn't believe it. And Anthony Anderson was going, do Black Lives Matter? It looked like a role reversal to me. He looked like the black man was the slave owner. Say my name.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Jimmy Kimball was a slave. Say my name. That's what it's looked like to me. Yeah. Matter of fact, I liked it. I loved it, actually. I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Oh, it's not. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not that I look at it that way. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also misquoted that way. It's not saying my name. What's the thing from Roots? not no it is rude say you in it what's your name what's your name what's your name
Starting point is 00:41:20 yeah it just felt so weird what was the llama thing I don't I didn't get that there's probably some like llama thing earlier in it but just so weird it was the blackest Emmys ever though but I will say this I don't want anybody to think that that was a pity Emmy because at least for me maybe because I watch all these shows I thought everybody that won deserved to win I thought you said you don't watch it what just in the beginning no no I said the shows the shows that won like Zendaya for Euphoria. Great fucking show. Can't let your kids watch it
Starting point is 00:41:50 because your kids love Zendaya, so they just think it's Zendaya. And they just get a heartbroken. Euphoria is a great show. Who else? Eddie Murphy won for SNL. Eddie Murphy did great on SNL. He did the best you could on the SNL, right?
Starting point is 00:42:01 Correct. Yeah. Who else won? Chappelle definitely deserved it for Stix and Stones. And I loved his speech. And, you know, just want to point out. Just want to point out.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Shut the fuck up. forever. Is that a Charlebar? Is that a Charlebar right here? Is he borrowing some charler bar? For years, I'm just saying for years now, shut the fuck up forever. I've been throwing it out there for a long time. I just want to put that out.
Starting point is 00:42:30 You know? But when I ask for credit for things, shut the fuck up and be humble. Interesting. Everybody else ask for credit for things. Give it to them. You're such a victim, you narcissism. I am such a victim.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I am a fucking victim. Let's pay some bills, man. Let's do it. All right, guys, we're going to stop for a second, pay some bills.

Starting point is 00:45:22 Listen, how much credits should one want? Serious question. In life, in life, in life, right? How much credit should one want? The. And this is a continuation of even when you hear, I don't, I like when I heard Chappelle say, shut the fuck up, I'm not going to lie, my ego says you say that all the time.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Mm-hmm. Right? But isn't that the way? the way life is when it comes to words, when it comes to the language. Like if something that sounds cool and it sounds dope, you share it. You don't have a license on it, right? I see all the time. I see articles written about other comics that have adopted my content strategy.
Starting point is 00:46:04 True, true. Right? Going with YouTube, going with clips, putting out their specials in YouTube, chopping up into little pieces and had lots of success. and I see all these articles that are written by them, these pieces done by them. You know, they'll go on podcasts and talk about it, not reference, you know, me at all
Starting point is 00:46:21 when I, like, have conversations with them and break down the whole strategy and the best way to go about it. And how upset I am at that is 100% dependent on how good I feel about myself. Right? Like, in that true? That's so fucking true, bro.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I'm feeling good. Whoa. Like if I'm feeling good and fulfilled and all the things I'm doing, right? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, oh, that's great that they're winning. They're getting theirs out there because that's why I wanted to share it with the world so that all these other comments could actually get some fucking leverage in this business.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sign good deals and get what they're worth and have careers. And that's why I wanted to share with them. You know what I mean? Yeah. And if I'm having a bad day. I want that fucking credit. You got to kiss the rain, you got to kiss the rain.
Starting point is 00:47:07 You got to kiss the rain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it really, I agree with that. You know what I'm saying? So it's a reflection of me. It's nothing to do with them. It's about how good I feel about myself. And if I'm doing enough in my life to make myself feel full.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Are you getting your just do? To yourself. To yourself. Because I know when you're feeling great, because you feel like you created some cool shit. And then Chappelle says that. You're like, holy shit. Dave Chappelle is saying the shit I say.
Starting point is 00:47:34 That's fucking fire. And when you're not, something's bugging you. You're probably like, oh, so we all just going to run with my shit, nobody going to ask about that. So we all, everybody using my shit. That's what it is? Huh? It's good though.
Starting point is 00:47:45 I own nose masters. No, no, no, no. No, I get what you're saying is absolutely true. It solely depends on you and how you feel and what's going on in your life. For me, that's what it usually comes down. R or it can be a level of, you know, Dave Chappelle is a genius to me. If you're saying something, and I'm not saying, I'm not saying Chappelle got this from me at all. I'm just saying if you're a genius.
Starting point is 00:48:11 if a genius was repeating something that you say often. Yeah. You're like, wow. Yeah. That's a compliment. It's a compliment. You know what I'm saying? All the more reason you want fucking credit.
Starting point is 00:48:23 That's the other thing. When someone more famous than you does some shit, you know that it's theirs now. Oh, it is. I mean, literally, that was the headline. Yeah, yeah. The Hapel tells people shut the fuck up forever. I'm like, well, God damn it. Nah.
Starting point is 00:48:34 That's the other thing. What the fuck? I've been telling people shut the fuck up for a hell for a while for years. Years. I'm like, it's a fuck when I said? Jesus crazy. When you say it again, they're like, oh, he took over here. Oh, did you buy in shape?
Starting point is 00:48:49 That shit will drive you crazy, bro. You literally, you innovate, you change the game, and motherfucker accuses you of doing something that someone copied you? Oh, my God, bro. I don't give a fuck. How good you feel? That will make you feel terrible.
Starting point is 00:49:02 That's what you got to overcom. Say like crazy? Oh, no, no, no, no. That's my child. You know, you're talking about, oh, you're talking about the day that my child did. Oh, I see. I see.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah, yeah, you must have that confused. You must not know about me. Or you tell yourself, I don't know, okay. I'll come up with something else. Yeah. Until that should get taken again. All right. Waiting for something else to come up.
Starting point is 00:49:23 What is that? Yo, there's this, there's this shit I watch on Netflix, chef's table. You ever seen that? No. It's so good. I think you really appreciate it. And, but this chef was talking about how he's working for this famous chef,
Starting point is 00:49:36 and he invented this dope-ass dish, right? and the famous chef said to him, he goes, look, this is fire. But if I put this on the menu, this is my dish. Not in terms of who invented it, in terms of the public perception. They'll always look at this as my dish. Are you ready to give this away? Or do you want to keep it? That's a good fucking question, bro.
Starting point is 00:50:01 And that's a cool thing for a boss to even say, like, whoa, that's fire. And the dude goes, literally says, no, this dude. This is a dish. I'll come up with tons of ideas. He's like, man, I ain't come up no fucking ideas after I came that away. Why not name it after the chef that made it? Because you don't go to John's restaurant to eat Dave's shit. But that's, but you're still at John's restaurant.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah. So if he names the meal after the fucking chef, that don't hurt him. The shit still tastes good. And it's easy to remember. Yeah, but now you're giving that chef credit. Yo, I'm with you, but you know how it is. Somebody's always going to get, it's always going to go to the captain of the ship. Like if the ship sinks, you blame the captain, right?
Starting point is 00:50:40 You don't blame the motherfucker that should have been watching it while a captain was sleeping. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the Titanic was done. Captain was probably sleeping. But it's his fault. Like, why you drive straight into iceberg? Like, my assistant did that shit. No, there is something I want people to duplicate, though, or replicate.
Starting point is 00:50:57 That you do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to salute my man Steve Benjamin, man Steve Benjamin of Columbia, South Carolina. You know, every year I do a book bag giveaway in Monk's Corner. Right. So I'm doing that every year for like five, six years. But this year, of course, it just didn't feel right to give away book bags because a lot of kids are at home. Everybody at home.
Starting point is 00:51:17 And, man, I saw this article. How often you need a new book bag, though? I don't know. Every year? I just do it every year. I don't know. I mean, that's a good question. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I just do it every year. But, you know, there was this article on Hollywood Unlocked. I saw what these kids were at Taco fucking Bell. using the Wi-Fi just to do homework. And when you are father, like, I'm a father at three, so it's just like it hurt me to see my two oldest daughters who are in school doing virtual learning last year and even they still have to do some virtual learning now.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And you take for granted the luxury of Wi-Fi. Yeah. And how many people don't have it. I don't even consider that people don't have. I see homeless people on phones in New York. But when you go to certain parts of the country, it's definitely more remote. They're not going to have Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:52:10 So what are you doing, bro? Talk to me. Well, there's an organization called Ignite Cities. And when I reached out to Steve Benjamin, I guess, you know, they have some type of partnership with them. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:21 I was able to provide the colony apartment community with free Wi-Fi. You know what I'm saying? By spending money. By spending the money. Is that an apartment complex, I guess? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:35 The colony apartment. So it's a whole apartment complex. And it's like a free Wi-Fi program that provides students who are unable to log on remotely and family searching for both employment and coronavirus assistance with Wi-Fi. And so the Wi-Fi devices require zero trenching of cables and they rely entirely on solar power and cell service. And it's at no cost to the city, RIS residents. So, you know, salute the WIS News 10. I saw them put that, no, that's no applause. We don't applaud for stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Okay, I'll take it But no, I do want people to duplicate that, man. Reach out to ignite cities. Step it up, Chappelle. Google them. Let's see what you got. No, no, you can't poke with Chappelle. Let's see what you got.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Chappelle is such a philanthropist. He is. Oh, he's a beast. He's a beast. But, yes. I'm on your side here. True. I got you.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Like, what are you on me to say? All right, fine. You ain't shit, bro. Chappelle got you. Shut the fuck up forever with your little Wi-Fi. do some real philanthropy like Chappelle. You know, you ain't built your own woodstock. Yeah, built your own woodstock.
Starting point is 00:53:42 You don't got people flying the goddamn Yellow Springs, Ohio. You know what I mean? You ain't giving everybody in Ohio coronavirus at your bar. Why you ain't there? You should be out there. I don't know, man. No, no, for real. Chappelle and Donnell?
Starting point is 00:53:58 Donnell. Donnell? I would be honored, of course. I'll be honored, of course. But right now, actually, I wouldn't be able to go. Why? Because we're working on something that is taking an insane amount of time. You're working on something that's going to enable you to build your own goddamn woodstock.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Maybe. Right here in New York City. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. But I would be absolutely honored. And not invite you, Donnell is the go.
Starting point is 00:54:22 That was the absolute goal. Yeah. Chappelle and Chris Rock. Yeah. I put Chappelle over Rock. For me, it's Patrice and Chappelle. Those are the two. I'm not, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I mean, that's a good debate, right? Like, that's not. Also, do we give Chris Rock the credit now that we know he's, like part with Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. He's like a level below, uh, and in his, this is his words, not mine, you'll hear him on the breakfast club. He's like a level below ass burgers.
Starting point is 00:54:48 He has a nonverbal. What is it? It's a learning disorder. Yeah. He doesn't pick up on nonverbal cues. That's an advantage. Really? For stand-up, hells, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Oh, because you say whatever you want. You don't hear any pushback. Yeah, because even if you're looking at people and you don't know what they're thinking. It doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah. Huge advantage. Also, you're not thinking about people's feelings all day like the rest of us. You're just thinking about jokes.
Starting point is 00:55:12 But you need- He's cheating. But no, it's actually kind of harder, though. I tell you why, because you need the laughter, because he doesn't understand anything else. Exactly. So if, like, say, if you, like, if you say something, people will cringe like, but at least you know you got something out of it. He doesn't understand that. He doesn't get that.
Starting point is 00:55:28 He needs to laugh. He needs to actually hear the laugh or to boo to know what he's actually doing out there. Huge advantage, dude. Really? Yeah, huge advantage. He's been cheating this whole fucking time. The dope thing is when you have a conversation with Chris, like he does, you could tell he's processing information.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Like, and now it makes so much sense. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It makes so much sense. If you've ever had a conversation with Chris, he's sitting there, he's listening in intently, he doesn't respond right away. You know what I'm saying? Like, he takes it in.
Starting point is 00:55:59 He's thinking about what he's saying. Like, I don't know. Chris, I don't buy it. Chris, I don't buy it. You just weird, bro. get over that shit. By the way. You say it was close to that.
Starting point is 00:56:10 By the way, guys like that, though, they might need to go get checked and see if they got that shit for real. That's the thing. We're all going to get checked. Everybody's going to be on the spectrum. I think we all are. Yeah, that's why it's a spectrum.
Starting point is 00:56:22 I don't even know what that means. I got optimum. I got optimum Wi-Fi and cable, bro. I don't know what the fuck that means. I hear people say it all the time and I just go with it. So what does on the spectrum mean? I think the spectrum is.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Google it, I'm serious. I don't know. I think a spectrum means it goes from like nothing to something. And so there are people who are like in the middle. They got a little bit. There's people who got it all the way. But it's not like black, white. You're either one or the other.
Starting point is 00:56:52 It's not like male, female. But that's humans. That's everybody. Everything's on the spectrum. There's no, there's no. We talked about this on the podcast coming weeks ago. It screams of fucking shit. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:57:05 All these comics want to say that they got like autism or assburgers or whatever like that. It's just like let those kids have that shit. Let the fucking, what is it, the player coach that comes in the last play at a game. He shoots a three and the whole school goes crazy. Let them have autism. Why are you hopping on their autism? I don't think you have autism. They're hopping on the autism. I will say, um, they're hopping on the autism. It's like, let them have their one thing. You can't let them have one thing. Now that one kid who shot a three was like, yo, I have autism, but I hit a three in a high school game. But then they're looking at Chris Rock like, yeah, I have autism. And I'm making.
Starting point is 00:57:38 millions of dollars. So now that kid, his three is worth nothing. Leave these kids alone. I'm tired of these multi-millionaires trying to victimize themselves with all these things. Deal with it. You figured it out. You did okay
Starting point is 00:57:54 with your Asperger's, your autism, whatever it is. You did just fine. We don't want to feel bad for you. Stop it. Listen, we could just be getting old too, though. That's another thing. You're old. You don't want to listen to people when they talk to you. Exactly. Seriously. It's just old. You're old.
Starting point is 00:58:09 You're tired of people. You're nonverbal. Yeah, you're nonverbal. You don't want to hear people be verbal. I'm not paying you attention anyway. Exactly. You're old. Just say you're old.
Starting point is 00:58:17 You got a young girlfriend. You're tired of listen to her ass so you say you got autism. That's really what it is. Let's just be honest. You got some young ass chick who tell you about her day all day. Tell you about what you saw the social dilemma. She's terrified. You don't want to hear that shit.
Starting point is 00:58:30 So you just go, listen, baby. I got autism. When you talk, I turn it off. I love you, Chris. He also did say in the interview He put it together that he doesn't understand technology to That's why he thought it was him being old Of course he don't understand technology
Starting point is 00:58:48 It's not for him Oh no he did say that No you're right He did say that he said he thought he was just getting old Because the old I guess the older It gets the disorder was getting worse And he just said he thought he was getting old But it's like no he just doesn't pick up on things
Starting point is 00:59:02 I don't know if he says Press he doesn't pick up on things He said he doesn't have struggle Chris, cut this shit out. This is what happened. We only think that because he's so smart. I know what this shit is. Chris, you're a comedic genius.
Starting point is 00:59:13 I love it. You're the inspiration. The reason why I probably started stand-up comedy is you and Eddie Murphy. But cut this bullshit out. You saw that they came after Ellen for being a dickhead to people and being mean. And you worried that they're going to come after your ass for being a dickhead to people being mean. And you're like, yo, you can't come from me. I got autism.
Starting point is 00:59:32 I see right through this shit. It's not autism. What's the name of this shit? Asbury. Hamburgers, hamburgers. I don't know what it is. On the spectrum could mean... Autism is the end of the spectrum.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Google Chris's condition. Chris Rock, non-verbal, no, yeah. It's a right learning disorder. It's a diet, autism. He got autism zero. He said it's like right under autism. He did say that. He said it's like...
Starting point is 00:59:55 No, said Asperger. It's right under Asperger. It's right under Asperger, so it's nothing. Okay? It goes, autism, Asperger's normal. You're just making some shit up for normal because you don't want people to ell in you. You're working.
Starting point is 01:00:07 worried about getting Ellen. That's a good, I mean, listen, that's a great strategy. I'm just saying. Chris, I liked how Ellen handled it this week, though. Oh, did you? Yeah. Don't take no responsibility for it. That's the best.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I'm not taking no responsibility for it, but I will make sure things around here run better. Okay. Yes, Chris Rock reviewed learning disorder diagnosis. Chris, cut this out. He might have that, man. Man, get out of here. here. All right, well, give me that. But I will say, but no, but see, that's what makes him know.
Starting point is 01:00:41 I think that, think about it. All he can take in is words. So if everything he understands is verbal, that means he has to communicate better than everyone else. So he takes his time, he writes these great pieces. He goes on that stage and he delivers them an incredibly great fashion. And his words are so clear. Like, Chris, everything is so cut and dry with Chris Rock on that stage. Yes, he is fucking brilliant.
Starting point is 01:01:05 And I think that's why. I think it's that. disorder that makes him be able to communicate that much better to people. Because he doesn't know how to communicate that with emotions and feelings. He has to do it with the words. Or acting things out. You know what I'm saying? Like, we take that, I think that's what makes him Chris Rock.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Definitely part of it. Let's pay some. But what is it called NVLD? Nonverbal learning disability. A neurological condition made the fuck up. Marked by a collection of academic and sometimes social difficulties experienced by children. Listen, no, no, look, look, though. Experienced by children of average R superior intelligence.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Yo. Chris is smarter than everybody. Is Chris just finding a way to say he's smart, bro? We know he's smarter than everybody. You know how you know Chris Rock is smarter than everybody? We know he is. He's genius. Go watch his old material.
Starting point is 01:01:55 His old material, sadly, sounds so fresh right now. Yeah. So either he's a prophet or ain't shit changed. I think it's a combination of the two. In neurological condition marked by a collection of academic and sometimes social difficulties experienced by children of average or superior intelligence. It's just smart kids not wanting to talk to dumb kids. And that's probably what his life is. But that doesn't mean you have a disability.
Starting point is 01:02:18 That just means people are dumber. Yeah. And you don't have any tolerance for them being dumber than you, which is kind of being a dick. Is you? He's trying to not get a meme too. That's what Alan got you. Ellen got meme-toed, bro. She got mean-toed.
Starting point is 01:02:43 Yo, mean-to would be the funniest movement of all time. Mean-to. Well, everybody that's ever been mean to you in your life, from teachers to executives, the kids from school, he bullied me when I was in fifth grade. Yo, it would be over. Ashai, mean-to? Everybody got mean-toed.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Everybody got mean-to. That right there would level the playing field. You were the ultimate. You were the fucking. No, you were the ultimate. Oh, no, I'd be mean too like a mother. I was an asshole. I know I was.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Listen, I know I was. You were running around the sun? Yes, I'll tell you who wanted? I did. This person had on a Phoenix Sun's jacket. And she was big. And me and my cousin was running around her. I'm Earth.
Starting point is 01:03:25 You're Jupiter. I'm Earth. Your Jupiter. Like, listen. Let me tell you something. Oh, my. Wait, what? What?
Starting point is 01:03:32 She had on a big feet, she had on a Phoenix Sunday jacket. Okay. And he pretended to be planning. Circling around the sun. I was earth and my cousin was Jupiter. And we were just running around her. But listen, listen, let me tell you something. All of that came from a place of pain.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I'm serious. I was a hurt individual. I literally was just talking to my therapist about this shit. Yo, I got into such a funk last week just thinking about the people that we might have hurt just by clowning on them. Yeah. It was the weirdest shit. I'm like, why the fuck am I thinking about these motherfuckers in high school? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:15 It was the weirdest shit. And I'm like, are there kids like me in schools now? Yeah. Or do they all just exist online? No, no, no, no. We was, that shit y'all doing online? We were doing person. We was doing in person.
Starting point is 01:04:29 You had to handle it. You had to handle that. So when we got swung on, we deserved to get swung on. I have been attacked by three kids with a hamburgers. What's the shit called? No, seriously. What are you laughing? I've been attacked.
Starting point is 01:04:46 I'm serious. I've told you all these stories before. I would get attacked by those kids in school because there was this one. I used to go to the Kingdom Hall with would clown him all the time. By the way, he never responded to me. And then one day. When I say never, I used to see him at school,
Starting point is 01:05:11 clown him, he wouldn't say nothing. I mean, nothing, no looks, no nothing. Just straight face, nonverbal. There we go. He'd be at the Kingdom Hall of me on Sunday. I'm still clowning him. He would say nothing. Man, one day I walked past this kid
Starting point is 01:05:22 and I swear this kid put me in a headlock, man. And it was like, I'm looking, and I can see my life flashing before my eyes and I see all my friends and cousins laughing and I'm like, why is nobody helping me? I'm dying. Who is doing this to me? And then right when I felt like God was like,
Starting point is 01:05:42 hey, come on, come on. He let me go. And I turned around and he was just walking like nothing that happened. Did you ever say anything to him again? Hell no. Yeah, you stopped. You got damn right.
Starting point is 01:05:54 The whole story was in between class. He didn't sneak up on me. Yeah. He did. He wanted to. embarrass me the way I've been clowning him, but he never said a word. So my point in saying all of that is I thought about all of that shit last week for some reason. Yeah. And it just hit me like, what the fuck you? But you got it back. A bunch of times. Yeah. But mostly by the Asperger's people.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Another one my man, and I just saw a video of my man named Fish, Lutea Fish. Fish was at, I guess they had a class reunion or something he was dancing. Fish used to joke back though. But did he have something? Yes. What did he have? I don't know. I really don't. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I just thought it was something. But back then they were so easily definable. This is the thing that people don't know. Trailers in the back. They used to really treat those kids fucked up by the way. Make them eat lunch before everybody. But they would separate them because they would get tea. Like, these people don't realize.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Back in day it was a free-for-all. Like, everybody went after everybody and it was insane. I said, I had this friend of mine in middle school with kid Carlos. We were walking in a hall. and he had his North Face on and he walked up to like an Asian kid and he'd be like, yo, bro, come here, man, see this shit? And the kid was like, what?
Starting point is 01:07:05 He's like, your cousin, fuck the stitching. Yo, son. Son, son. He would do that regularly, bro. Whoa. It was crazy. Nah, man. Everybody got it.
Starting point is 01:07:19 There was a kid that put me in a fucking headlock. This kid was crazy. We were going at it over something and he had, he was missing a few fingers. His hand kind of looked like ginger root. and he would, he was kind of like that. I was like curled up like that. And I had made fun of his little ginger root hand.
Starting point is 01:07:34 And he put me in a, it's a big kid, he put me in a headlock. And somehow I think the ginger root clasped or something on his other hand and he locked in. And dude, it would not unlock, bro. Drag my face on the fucking ground in front of everybody. I was bleeding out of my head. I remember Fish, me and Fish was joking back and forth. And Fish grabbed me during gym class. and fish held me up like he you know how you flip you know how you turn your phone shit he turned
Starting point is 01:08:03 me he grabbed me and he turt me right so he was holding me horizontal and he was jumping up and down with me like this laughing and then he put me on top of a fence no the fence that was around the track no he put me he just hung me on top of the fence like like why did y'all not stop bullying people then like what you guys Because what it was, we didn't realize it was bullying back then. No, I'm just speaking for me. No, I just thought it was jokes. But that's bullion.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Because you got to think back in the day, we used to play the dozens. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's a thing. Everybody jokes around with everybody. Yeah, man. There was a coach for anybody could get it. You see comedians on stage roasting people. They had a fucking whole show called your mama.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Yep. You know what I mean? Like, they was, that roasting was a thing. Yeah. It becomes bullying when the person isn't roasting back. And now you're just taking advantage of this person and you're just constantly roasting. Roasting, roasting, roasting.
Starting point is 01:08:57 That is another thing that's interesting. It's like we would never say anything to another kid that we didn't say to the people in our group. It's not like we were roasting a fuck. We were worse. We were way worse for the people in our groups. I knew more. I knew more. I knew my cousin was getting evicted.
Starting point is 01:09:12 I knew my cousin's father was on crack. Like, people knew my dad was in rehab. Like, your dad pulled up in a raggy-ass Toyota Tarsale? A bunch of poor people teasing other motherfuckers for being poor. Seriously, a bunch of poor people teasing other motherfuckers for being poor. Like, we were terrible to each other. If I knew you? Forget it.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Oh, my God. And if you were boring, we would make things up about you. Like, we had one of our friends. He was just kind of boring. So we just made up a story that he used to watch his parents have sex all the time. And we just spread that throughout the whole school. He watches his parents have sex. And that was our homie.
Starting point is 01:09:55 That's why I don't. That's why I don't even get upset about any lie that said to me on the internet, said about me on the internet. Because I was the original internet. I have let stories go in my community in Monk's Corner that I forgot about. And then it comes back. And then it comes back. Be sitting around.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Yo, you heard about such and such? I love it. I'm like, why that sound familiar? Wait a minute. I said that six months ago. I never told you when my boys convinced me I had STD without me knowing Oh, waxed that to me? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:10:32 I got an email from a company. No, man. Yes. There's an anonymous email service that used to go around back in the day. Where, where. So it was made so that people, if they got an SDD, they could tell the other people they've had sex with, right? But anonymously. So I get this email and says, yo, you have chlamydia or you have syphilis or something like that, right?
Starting point is 01:10:53 And I got to go to Argentina the next week, right? So I'm like, well, that's not enough time to get rid of syphilis. I think we're going to have to deal with this when I get back from Argentina. Why couldn't you take syphilis to Argentina? I don't know. I mean, maybe we could. I just didn't want to feel bad. Anyway, so I'm in Argentina.
Starting point is 01:11:08 I'm having like a mental fucking breakdown, right? I call it my, I'm with my boy Jamil in Argentina, right? I'm having a mental breakdown. I'm out here trying to get laid at the same time I'm riddled with syphilis in my head, right? So I'm having a middle. I call my fucking parents, bro. I'm like, mom. Dad, I don't know what I should do.
Starting point is 01:11:24 I have syphilis. I'm down here in Argentina. What the fuck should I do? They're like, it's okay. You can get rid of that. You just got to go to the hospital. I'm like, oh, my God, I got to call every girl I've hooked up and telling him I gave him syphilis. I don't know what the fuck to do.
Starting point is 01:11:37 I go, Jamil, man, I got fucking syphilis. I don't know what the fuck to do. I'm here in Argentina. What should we do? Should we go to the hospital right now? He goes, man, when the fuck do you get syphilis? And I go, I don't know. I got an email last week.
Starting point is 01:11:48 This chick said she gave me some syphilis, whatever. I love a guy. Listen, what's his name? Jamil forgot completely. Jamil, I love you, Jamil, because that's the best joke. The joke where you don't need an immediate reaction. Just slow play? The slow burn is so good.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Talk about slow burn. I thought I had syphilis for him. I did that to someone in college. What did you mean? I had my... Gamed syphilis? No. No.
Starting point is 01:12:18 I knew this guy that went to the... He wasn't the clinic. They were just doing like testing, whatever yet. So I had my friend call, like, she was like the nurse like, hi, sorry, let you know, like all that. Was this a dude you hooked up with? No, no, no, he was just my friend. What did you say he had?
Starting point is 01:12:40 I said that he had gonorrhea in that he, that they had to come in for another, or he has to come in because we had to tell something that we can't tell on the phone. Oh, so he had age, too. You gave someone age. Waxed that to me. Mind you, I didn't even tell him to this day. He doesn't know that was me. I thought you did that to wax.
Starting point is 01:12:59 No, waxed that to me. Wacked the debt to me. And it's so funny because this is, you know, back in the day when I was just a terrible. Hold on. And I was at a young lady's house and a young lady called me. This is way before. Yeah, yeah. The young lady called me and was like asked me when the last time I spoke to the woman I had been another one I had been messing around with because she was a scripper.
Starting point is 01:13:21 And all I haven't spoke to her to her and me. minute. I said, why? What's up? And she was like, well, you know, I don't know, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's sick, but she wants to tell you herself. And I'm like, I'm good. I'm like, because I'm sitting next to a, I'm sitting next to a girl. I'm like, I'm good. And she's like, you show in the last time you've been tested. I'm good. Right. So, and she's like, all right. So. I hang up and I'm sitting in the house for a while. I start tapping my foot. I'm like, I'm like, go see if I'm good for real.
Starting point is 01:14:01 I was like, hold on one second. I'll go outside. I go sit in the truck. Like, I call, I call, first I call my boy Frosty. He's like, I don't know the last time I seen her. And then I call wax. Wax's like, yo. He's like, the only last time you seen such and such.
Starting point is 01:14:15 She was like, such and such. And he's like, oh, yo, I meant to tell you. I seen it other night. man, she's mad skinny, yo. She looked like something wrong. I'm like, for real? He's like, yeah, yeah, for real. I'm like, all, hold on. So, you know me. I'm getting right to the sauce after that.
Starting point is 01:14:33 And your anxiety is going. I'm not crazy. I can't right there. I call her. Like, yo, first of all, I'm concerned. You good? She's like, what you mean to my good?

Starting point is 01:19:09 Social dilemma was great. The Schultz dilemma. I liked it. Social dilemma. We do a segment called shit you won't care about next week, but I think you will care about this next week. I think it's a great documentary. I think it is to social media what the food.
Starting point is 01:19:25 What was that shit? What was that diet one? Remember that one? What the food was to the meat industry? This would be to the social media industry. Yeah, yeah. I could see that. Or like some climate change doc was for the environment.
Starting point is 01:19:35 That one that makes me give a fuck. Really? No. I do. I care. I don't. I care. I don't.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Especially with that fucking doomsday clock they got in New York now. That's counting down for like seven years. Hate that as clock. Yeah. I care. I care only because... What do they know, yo? You know why I can?
Starting point is 01:19:52 I'm gonna tell you why I care. But do something if you really care. Imagine you're putting money into a stupid clock when the world was going down. Just do something. Do something. Productive.
Starting point is 01:19:59 I count. Thank you. I think they're doing it to scare people because people should be scared, right? Because I feel like... I feel that one with the universe. Like when I look up in the sky, I see the sun, I see the moon.
Starting point is 01:20:10 When I walk barefoot in my yard, I feel the earth. When I hug trees, I feel all of that, right? So it's like if all the... Man Chappelle says, shut the fuck up for that. Cut down the trees in the yard And then Eddie Murphy flashes back to the 80s
Starting point is 01:20:25 It's called him hate But no, it's like Yo, I really feel like I'm one with this planet, right? So there are certain things I don't do Like if I see trash on the ground, I do pick it up I don't litter and shit like that Only because it makes me feel bad Maybe it's just something in my head
Starting point is 01:20:43 Right So I don't necessarily need the climate change Doc to scare the fuck out of me Right, you know what I mean? Right what the fuck what the food or whatever it was called didn't really make me stop eating meat
Starting point is 01:20:54 maybe slow down on it a little bit the same thing with social dilemma we knew this before we saw the doctor that it was a problem what are the solutions I read a great book called digital minimalism digital minimalism by Cald-Newport
Starting point is 01:21:10 a couple years ago it gave you a lot of solutions on how to wean yourself off this drug that is social media that is our fucking phones but that's the only thing And when you text me that the other day, when I text you about the doc and I didn't really quite catch what you said until later, I see why you thought it was fatalist. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:27 But did it give you no solutions? There's no solutions. And it makes it seem like it's all bad. Like, the reason that we can look at our phone six hours a day is because our lives are so much easier because of our phone. You know, people that don't have a phone, they live off the land in Alaska have to spend all day living off the land. They don't have time to just stare at their phone and play video games for six hours. So our life has become so easy because of that. of technology and partly because of that algorithm.
Starting point is 01:21:51 To act like we don't benefit from the algorithm, you and I have benefited immense. All those Breakfast Club videos that gone viral, that algorithm helped them get pushed out to all the people that would like it and consume it. So it's like, I'm not going to sit here and criticize an algorithm.
Starting point is 01:22:06 What I will say is that the documentary showed that these companies are not being transparent. You know, if you're going to make a hamburger that's 2,000 calories, tell me that shit. It's got to have the warning label on the shit. Put the warning labels on it.
Starting point is 01:22:18 Let us know what we're getting into, you know? And then the other thing that bothered me about it is there's no accountability. It's like once I know what you guys are doing, I can be accountable. If I know if I click a video of football, you're going to suggest another 15 football videos. You know what I might not click? That football video. Maybe I don't want to watch it that bad where it's going to fuck my algorithm. Maybe I'll just choose the things that can help me.
Starting point is 01:22:40 I agree. And you know what else is wild. And this is something that I always knew because I read this a long time ago. These guys that create these apps and this technology, they don't know. let their kids use it. You watch the end of the dock. It's like four or five of them. It's like, I don't let my kids be on this shit.
Starting point is 01:22:53 I don't let my kid be on this shit. Yeah, that's another thing. It's like they understand the danger of it 100% and they understand how kids just get like locked in and addicted. I think it's going to be part of it. There is one thing that really fucking bothered me about the documentary. Which one? I don't like people that make tons of money developing the bad things.
Starting point is 01:23:16 And once they get paid off it, now fuck y'all. burn it up, blow it up. And then make money on the other side. That guy Tristan or whatever his name, the ginger dude that's he's like the real star of it. He starts out there making the, these algorithms that do all this fucked up shit. And then he changed his job to be in an emphasis and making money off saying how horrible they are. It's like, it's like getting you hooked on. It's like selling you cigarettes and then, you know, setting up the halfway house that helps you to, or the nicotine patch that helps you to get off it. It's like putting a bunch of black people in jail with a crime bill and then coming around being like, I care about
Starting point is 01:23:47 black people and I want to make sure that they're not put in prison. Now, obviously, it's different because over that amount of time you can learn, you could change. I'm just throwing a shot at my days. Yeah, but you still got to write your wrong. You got to write your wrong. And maybe it's not the best to profit off of this other side. Maybe if you made all this money, the best example. How about use that money helping fix the problem?
Starting point is 01:24:08 Instead of profiting off the problem you created, you got all this money now, invest this money in helping to fix the problem. You said it good when we were texting. You said something about like, you're like, it's like the drug dealer that gives out turkeys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On Christmas, it's like,
Starting point is 01:24:26 yeah. Just giving out some turkeys, just telling people that the algorithm's bad. Yeah. Isn't going to make up for the fact that you made it. You're making money. Yeah, you're making money. You're poisoning in the community
Starting point is 01:24:35 and then taking a little bit of that, that little bit of it and putting it back in the community and saying, hey, look, I'm doing something good. And you want pads on the back? You can't even do it silently. You're out there like, look, I'm leading the charge against the algorithms that I made.
Starting point is 01:24:47 Fuck you. Yeah, it's fucked up. He said that in the documentary, though. He was saying how, like, he tried to present it. He made, like, a PowerPoint or something like that. Oh, they ignored it. Yeah, they ignored it. It's their job to ignore it.
Starting point is 01:24:58 They might have nonverbal learning disorder. Don't just because somebody ignores you. Be gentle, guys. All right? I'm serious. What if that's the key to success? Nonverbal learning. Like, all these nonverbal learners are these, like, scientists, these, like, internet dorks, Chris Rock.
Starting point is 01:25:14 You kind of got to be like that in life, though. You might have to, it might be an advantage. in life. Because you got to be like this, right? You can't pay attention over here. You can't pay attention this. Can't pay attention behind you. You got to ignore everything and just focus.
Starting point is 01:25:24 You kind of got to be like that. Huge advantage. Why are we calling it a disorder? It's the most order. You are superiorly ordered. So we're not going to feel bad for you, bro. Everything's about perspective. That's it.
Starting point is 01:25:39 I don't think Chris is asking us to feel bad about him. No, I know. I know. I'm just being hard on Chris. All right. What else we got, Taylor? I got to get out of here. Let's just go to ask you.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Yeah, let's do some asking idiots. Give us a few asking idiots. Okay. Well, um, no underscore link was to know what days of pod coming out. Because we need to address this. What day is the pod coming out? Probably out Friday. Why is it always late?
Starting point is 01:26:08 You get the pussy we give you. All right. Okay. That's what you tell him. You get the pussy we give you. All right. Shaving, unshaven. All right.
Starting point is 01:26:19 Period. No period. You're going to get it, but you're going to get the pussy I give you. We're busy. We have. It takes time. That's what you're going to say it too.
Starting point is 01:26:30 Everyone else knows. My daughter's birth. We've usually taped on Wednesdays. Right. But my daughter's born day was yesterday. And I didn't forget about it. I just forgot. And so I stayed at home.
Starting point is 01:26:44 And now we're taping the day. So, you know, and then after we go through it and make sure that, you know, Andrew shows us. doesn't do anything to ruin our lives. You know, it takes a while. Sorry, guys.
Starting point is 01:26:56 It's not the same that it used to be and it will never be the same ever again until we're 70. Oh, we're 70. We're bringing it back. Actually, I say about 55. You think that's it? 55.
Starting point is 01:27:10 I think it's fuck you money. Once we have the fuck you money forever. I'm a behind-to-you-for-me. It's not even about money, man. I really do feel, I really don't want to hurt anybody. But when you're 55 you do? Beyond, how about this? How about phrasing like this?
Starting point is 01:27:26 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, shit. Hey, shit. What about this? What about this? What about this? You still got people you want to help. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:27:38 Explain? I like it. I like that people you want to help. You got people you want to support. You got people you want to bring up. You got movements you want to make. And those movements are bigger than making some jokes. But once you get to 55 or 70,
Starting point is 01:27:49 everybody's good. Everybody's good. you've done enough helping. But even the, even, like, I agree with you. A hundred percent. You're absolutely right. I just, I just really do, like, and me and Duval was talking about this other day. You, we didn't, you don't realize how many people really be hurt.
Starting point is 01:28:05 And I guess it goes back to what we were talking about in high school when you was making jokes. Yeah. Like the stuff that we're just laughing at, man, we didn't mean nothing by that. Yeah. What the fuck is really be like ready to end it all. You know what I mean? Yeah. But then again, we got joked on so hard.
Starting point is 01:28:20 two and we weren't trying to end it all. So I think that it's not always like that. You already end it all, bro? No, not over that. Not over no jokes. I'm being honest with you. I couldn't do it. Over vagina maybe.
Starting point is 01:28:29 I definitely thought about killing myself over a woman or two. Yeah. But never over no jokes. The jokes was like, because the thing about jokes, you can always come back with better jokes. Yeah, man. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:40 Always. Like if somebody says something to you, you can always come back with something stronger. Like that was the, that's what sharpens you. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, man. I mean, that shit does hurt.
Starting point is 01:28:50 hurt, bro. I remember once I got pants and I didn't have any pubs yet and all my friends said I look like a dolphin. A dolphin? I just had no hair. Bro, that shit stuck with me for years. I actually think I jinks myself because I used to pray for pubic hair and then I prayed so hard that I think I have way too much pubic hair right now.
Starting point is 01:29:10 It's a grown up on my ass and shit. I don't think I could have survived. I don't think I could have survived. Don't pray for the wrong shit. With social media, bro. You don't think you can survive what? I don't think I could survive social. middle school with social media.
Starting point is 01:29:21 It would be tough. I had a boonky, they used to call me boonky nose. Bunky nose, yeah. Bunky nose era was tough, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:28 I feel compassion when I look at certain memes and it's somebody making fun of somebody's nose. And it'll be like a sentence that'd be like, he knows what's going on. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:29:38 You're describing my comment section. Oh, no, they used to kill Andrew. And it took me a while to catch on because they were just putting nostrils. Yo, Andrew really became the Joker, bro. Because there was a time when they used to be on Andrew's ass. I remember one.
Starting point is 01:29:56 I remember sitting at home one time. And I don't know if it was Twitter or something. And somebody was clapping Andrew's shoes. And all that was Andrew in the comments saying, yo, get off me, bro. You know, man, that shit had me crying, man. He always ran the same two pairs of shorts. That's why you get so sensitive.
Starting point is 01:30:22 She's like, no, I can't wear those shoes. No, no. We don't wear shoes in the studio. It has nothing to do with that. Yeah, no. But that was funny because I literally had two pairs of these Jordan ones. I never noticed.
Starting point is 01:30:34 I wanted to pay attention to no shit like that. I was wearing them back and forth on the episodes trying to throw the scent off the trail. You know what I mean? I'd never wear a back to back. I was like wearing a bag of point. And motherfuckers caught on to my game, bro. I just had two.
Starting point is 01:30:48 This was the early days, man. And he was like, yo, won't you get off me, bro? I think that shit might hurt me in my core. I can read the frustration. Yeah, that shit might hurt me to my core, doc. It really came for me, dude. Oh, my God, man. I think I says, no, I want to kill me the most with the nose one.
Starting point is 01:31:05 As I remember, we put up, it was a YouTube clip. I tried to stay out of comments. I was scrolling through the comments once. And one comment just said, damn, Schultz looked like he could smell a bagel from a mile away. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. I'm telling, listen, those physical, those physical appearance shit. They stay with you, bro.
Starting point is 01:31:34 They will stay with you because there's nothing you can do when you're going to puberty. Yes. The fuck could I do but grow into my nose. And that's the stupid shit. It does tell you, oh, you're growing to your nose. My nose is going to still keep growing? What do you mean? My nose just stopped throwing.
Starting point is 01:31:47 I remember the woman that used to molest me when I was eight. Yeah. When I stopped letting her molest me, man, and she used to. to get in my goddamn head and tell me how ugly I was after that. That's fucked up. And she had my grandma. She literally, I remember this day
Starting point is 01:32:01 like it was yesterday. She's like, what's wrong with his nose? Something's wrong with his nose. Like, I was swollen his nose. My grandma putting all types of cream and shit on my nose. Got me hole in an ice pack to my nose. And I'm sitting there like, and I didn't, you know, of course you don't realize until you get older.
Starting point is 01:32:17 You was just fucking with me because I wouldn't let you touch on me no more. You never was wrong. My fucking nose. Yeah. And why the fuck did my grandma put it? Little star ointment on my nose. You know, that's crazy. She gave you an ice pack to put on your fucking nose.
Starting point is 01:32:31 Bro, that is insane. An ice bag on your nose. All because of you molested me, making me feel fucked up about myself. That's hilarious. So it's her fault. That is her fault. Anybody I've ever bullied you. Taylor, you feel bad.
Starting point is 01:32:54 That's sad. That's sad. I feel bad. Those old Be honest, that shit look a little swollen. Damn.
Starting point is 01:33:03 Those old traumas those old traumas die hard, man. I'm telling me. All right. As always. Willie,
