It's so stupid. It's positively brilliant. Yep, Shalamaine de Gaugat. Andrew Schultz. Back for another week of the Brilliant Idiot's Podcast. Let's get right to it. Andrew, what did you see last week that was positively brilliant? What did you see last week that made you say, what a fucking idiot? Man, positively brilliant last week was very tricky.

Man, I feel like everything just went wrong last week. Really? Does that not make sense? Like there was just so much crazy drama that came out last week. You know, I found out. You have those weeks. Say what? You have, you can have those weeks.

Yeah, like, well, yeah, I feel like everybody had it. Like, it's just so much fucked up shit going on. Really? Does that make sense? You mean, listen. You're alive. Yeah, I guess you're right, man. I'm blessed.

You're breathing. I'm blessed, you know. But it is our job to talk on culture. And I feel like culture's in a really. weird place right now. I'll tell you what a fucking idiot. You ready for my what a fucking idiot? Let me hear it. Matter of fact, you can even cut everything I said before

and just start it with this. What a fucking idiot. Trump was asked about Gilae Maxwell. Okay? Gilae Maxwell is Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile accomplice piece of human garbage. She is going to be on trial. She's

I guess in custody right now. And Trump was asked about her and this guy babbled the easiest question in the entire world. The question was, what do you think about Gilae Maxwell or something like that? And he goes, he goes, you know, I saw her in passing, you know,

Palm Beach. I wish her the best. I wish her the best. What do you mean you wish her the best? What the fuck does wish her the best to me? This is all you got to say. All you got to say is there's some horrible things that she's

accused of. It's absolutely horrifying and absolutely disgusting. And if she's guilty of those things, I hope she gets justice. That's the answer. What is I wish you the best? Well, as a man who's always constantly working on himself through therapy and a sacred purpose coach and other things, that is exactly what I say to people when I wish them the worst. That is exactly what I say to people when I hope they get found hung in a cell somewhere. All right? That is exactly. Exactly. And I get it. He's the president.

So he should have had a more politically correct answer. But when somebody talks to me about somebody, Andrew, that I absolutely despise. When I'm trying not to hate, I say, God bless him, I wish him the best. Every time. Every time. Every time. I don't know how he feels about this woman. But, you know, I'm just saying that's how, for me personally, when I don't wish you the best, I say God bless you, wish you the best.

Because that's so generic, right? Interesting. So you think Trump is actually doing the opposite? I don't know what Trump is doing. I never know what Trump is doing. I'm just speaking from my perspective, you know, which is also something I'm constantly talking to my therapist about, me making things about me all the time.

But it's just like, are you tapping into that, Charlotte? Hold on. Do you think you have an ego, Charlemagne, the God? Yeah, we all got ego, though. You got it. You can't be in this business if you don't got an ego. I'm tired of motherfuckers that are in entertainment, entertaining people going,

oh, I'm egos. I don't have any ego. Well, they shut up. Go somewhere. It's not for you. You can't wake up every day if you don't have an ego. Not even in this business. Just to live as a human.

But you got to make sure that you don't have a wounded ego. You got to make sure that your ego is not your inner, your wounded inner child screaming for help. You know what I mean? You got to make sure that that inner child within you is not getting triggered by things that are happening to you as adult and saying, hey, let me deal with me. Let me put the question like this for you.

Charlemagne, how do you feel about Jeffrey Epstein back when he was alive? How do you feel about him? Didn't give a fuck. Isn't that a better answer? So then, well, I wish him the best. I'm going to be honest with you. And this is just me being crazy, I guess.

It all's the same to me. If I don't give a fuck about you, I wish you the best. I used to say, God bless you. I used to say God bless him, but fuck him. But that sounds like too much of an oxymoron. Right. So I just be like, God bless him. I wish him the best.

And you'll still get a butt fuck him out of me. I think but fuck him is good. I would keep the butt fuck him. Somebody's going to edit that crazy. You still get a butt-fuck-em out of me? I ain't no wrong. Everybody's a good guy. Everybody's a loose-case.

Come here, come here. You'll still get a butt-fuck-em out of me, bro. You'll still get a butt-fuck-em out of me. All I'm saying is, it's like, let's say... I'm not in jail no more, but you'll still get a butt-fuck-em out of me. I'm gay no more. I'm delivered, but you'll still get a butt-fuck him out of me. Bro, it's all good on holidays, bro.

like, you know, alternate street parking. No, I'm with you, though. I mean, yeah, as a president, I guess you got to stay neutral. So as a president, even though we've never seen Trump stay neutral, Trump clearly picks his side. So to me, and I thought about that when I saw him say that, that is a man who he's been accused of being down with the Epstein's, right, are partaking in what they were doing.

Who, Elaine Maxwell? Yeah, wasn't Trump. I know, but wasn't Trump in the mix of all of that? Wasn't Trump in the mix of everything in and Maxwell and all of them? Yeah, everybody's in the mix. Now, there's this whole conspiracy on the internet, I think Q and on, which is basically, and I'm going to fuck it up. So if you know about it, but they're basically believed that Trump is going into politics to, like, drain the swamp, get rid of all the pedophile elites that are like running these pedophile rings and using it to compromise people around the world. That's what they believe.

And this got to be the biggest blow to them because he's, you know, because he's, you know, He just fucked up the question and he was aware of what's going on, right? He said Prince Andrew did some foul shit. He said the Clintons were on that island. He said Epstein's island was foul. He's on record saying all these things. And now all of a sudden, while this chick is in custody,

he's like, oh, man, I wish her the best. It's almost as if somebody could say this. They could go, oh, maybe she got some shit on him. And he's trying to send a message to her lawyers or even her yo, I'm going to be gracious to you. You be gracious to me. Choate's the message already was sent. The message was sent when Larry Epstein was hanging in that cell.

Now, I've seen the young lady. Jeffrey Epstein, not all white Jews have the same name. Well, Jeffrey Epstein, right? If I'm Donald Trump, that message has been sent. All I've heard is the Maxwell lady say how she's scared that she's going to get killed in jail. She's scared something's going to happen to her. So once you've already sent that message, And I'm sure a message has gotten to Christine like, all right, this can go one or two ways.

Jolay. Gilae. Whatever. What the fuck is hurting? Whatever the fuck. It's unbelievable. So Trump is unbelievable. It's unbelievable.

Here's what brother Leonardo is. How are you fucked up. Both of their names within 50 seconds of each other. It's unbelievable. Listen. So Danny, right? So Danny, the president, the daddy's like, look, I'm on this motherfucking stage. And I'm going, I'm saying, I'm saying to Christine.

What's her name? Seriously, what's her name? Guy Lane. I'm saying to Guy Lane, I wish you the best. Meaning, I wish you the best as long as you keep your motherfucking mouth shut about it. Right. It's almost a message, right? It's a coded message.

And Andrew, they haven't gotten a chance to, you know, do whatever it is. They're going to do to her. What do you think they're going to do there? You can't run the same play. You can't run the same play. You can't run the same play, that goddamn hangman office. You can't do that shit.

All the ball. You can't run the same play. It would be too obvious. You can't run the same play. You can't. But they got to figure it out. They got to say COVID. COVID.

COVID, you get out of here with COVID. Little COVID can get her out of here. A little poisoning. But COVID. COVID is probably the easiest way. COVID to kill somebody right now because it's not on you. You just got to make sure that bitch gets COVID. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We got to watch Taylor. Taylor came up with that. That one a little too quick. Yeah, how'd you know that so fast? Yeah, she's playing that one out. Yo, that's, that's grimy right there, dude. Pray for Taylor's boyfriend. Yo, we're praying for your boyfriend.

What's your boyfriend's name again? Why not? No. I'm not saying. You know what's crazy? I was talking to Taylor last night and I was asking her about her boyfriend, whatever, whatever. and she was like, yeah, I'm going to take them to Philly this weekend for a cheese steak.

I was like, it was just so random. Like, I'm going to take him to Philly this weekend for a cheese steak. So. Yeah, that sounds, that sounds like that. She got her alibi already. It sounds like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Actually, what she said before that was he's getting on my motherfucking nerves. Yeah, but it's all good.

We're fine. Wait, why is he getting on your nerves? Why you keep, why you keep annoying that man? Leave that man alone. He's not here in this episode because he's going to be like, see, I told you. But seriously, why are you driving him crazy? I'm not. Don't do that.

I'm serious. It's this little tiny fights. Not, don't mean nothing. About what? What are you fighting about? I'm not, we're not discussing this. Go back to what you're talking about. Can you explain to her that this is entertainment, we got to share what's happening in our lives?

I mean, make this clear, Charlemagne. Oh. Let's bet. Let's bet. If I'm not in a relationship, uh-huh. The time you said, if I'm not in a relationship after next year,

then it has to be like something bad because he thinks that we're going to all be, all his niece is about to be single. They are. A lot of them didn't make it out the pandemic. You don't think they got the pandemic punani? Nah, no, I don't have nothing to do with that. It's just that they're all young.

And, um... I'm not that young anymore. How old are you now? 29. Yeah, you're right there. You right there. You can't call you Young Liberty Bell after 30. You're just the Bell.

You just Bell. What's up, Bell? That's Bell from Philly. But no, Trump did fuck that question up. But I mean, I'm seriously, in my sick mind, that is what I say to people when I don't want to curse him. Straight up. When I don't want to say fuck you only because I don't want to bring myself down to your level

and I don't want to bring my energy down to your level. I really do say, God bless them, wish him the best. You can just say also, I just hope they have the day they deserve too. That's why I say to people. Listen, y'all are more gracious to me. If somebody asks me how I feel about the people who are running like a pedophile ring, I'm not going to say God bless them. That's just me, though.

I don't know. What about you? before they execute you. Say again? Don't they pray for you before they execute you? Don't they bring in a reverend to pray for you before they electrocute you? And that's your job? Imagine that's your job for the church.

Like you worked your whole life. You ain't get no pussy your whole life so that you could be like a priest or some cathedral. And all you got to do is pray for the guy who's about to get electrocuted. Why not? No matter. They still going to get. Also, how do they just say what's the point of praying if you already? How do you figure out what happens in church?

Like, who decides who gets to be, like, how are you good at Priestin? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why, don't you got to go to school? Say again? Don't you got to go to school? Yeah, but, like, it's not like there's a test. Was somebody barking in there? Yeah, we got a dog in here.

I'm about to say, y'all, y'all taking this DMX Snoop Dog versus thing a little too far. Yeah. What the fuck? Listen, you know who I saw this week that was positively brilliant? And I'm bringing this up. Yeah. because it proves the Taylor that I was correct. Tobias Harris and C.J. McCollum.

Tobias Harris and C.J. McCollum. Tobias plays for the Philadelphia 76th. C.J. McCullum plays for the Portland Trailblazers. Tobias Harris was in a press conference. Taylor can put the audio here if she's not hating on the situation. So Russell Westbrook, we saw collaborated with the MAPA to create the social justice shirt for the players. I know that you showed your support via

some social media accounts. I'm just wondering if those shirts or something players plan to wear during warm-ups or if there is a plan for those or if you'll be involved in any way. You know, nothing against the T-shirts, but you want to make sure that Daniel Cameron will arrest the cops and officers involved

with Breonna Taylor's death. And, yeah, that's all I got to say. Thanks, T. That's good to... That's going to be my answer for every question. Fair enough. For Daniel Cameron, step up and to do what's right. And that's the only message I got today.

Appreciate everybody. Thanks. Tobias refused to answer any questions other than to say Daniel Cameron. And I don't even know if that's his name because y'all know I'm terrible with names. I know his last name is definitely Cameron. But I think the attorney general in Kentucky or the district, the DA in Kentucky, I don't know what fuck his title is. But you're like, I am not saying anything other than he needs to arrest. the cops who killed Breonna Taylor.

And then C.J. McCullum spoke about a great conversation he had with Brianna Taylor's mom and how they need to arrest the cops that killed Brianna Taylor. Now, all of it went viral. If you notice, the media has moved away from those protests. They're not showing you to protest anymore, even though they're happening. They're showing you what's going on in Portland, but that's only because the military is there beating up protesters and breaking up protests. But for the both part, media's not showing you to protest no more.

They back on COVID. and they back on the upcoming election and they are on Kanye West, right? So it is good that you have the NBA coming back and Major League Baseball even yesterday. Those guys were taking a knee. So it just keeps awareness on what's going on out there in those streets.

And this is something else I thought about. And think about the people who aren't LeBron James. Think about the people who aren't Kyrie Irving. Think about those guys who don't have a voice as big as theirs. The only place they'll be able to maximize their voice is with that NBA platform, is at those press conferences.

Think about the people who tweet things like this all day long, post stuff on their Instagram, and nobody cares. Because they don't have a bigger voice as LeBron and whoever else. This is why the NBA will not be a distraction. This is why the NBA, and really all sports, are going to be so necessary over the next few months because it will be athlete activism. It will be protest through sports.

I think it's going to be great. Question. And this is about the Breonna Taylor's thing because I've been just reading up about this a little bit. So just break down the events because I'm trying to find out who needs to be held accountable. Who specifically do you point the blame at? The person that made the charge, like told them to...

So they're saying arrest the police officers, right? that killed Brianna Taylor. But the police officers were acting on behalf of a faulty warrant, right? A warrant that had the wrong address. And there's a rule that allowed them to just break into a house without a knock, right? So, and correct me if I'm wrong, did the police officers do what they were legally allowed to do and what they were supposed to do? That I'm not sure of. I don't know.

Because I keep hearing people go arrest the police officers. And my concern is that not enough, hold on, did not enough people understand what happened with the Brianna-Taylor case so that when they see the police officers not being arrested, they're going, see, look, this is the failure of our justice system when they don't realize that the person who created this situation is the person who put the wrong address on the warrant. for arrest or warrant for

search and seizure. Now I've heard people say they should arrest the person who issued the warrant as well but I think with the police officers is... She was alive still. The fact that they came in the house

and when they shot her they didn't issue her any aid. Yeah. It said she was alive for like six minutes after the fact and they didn't issue any aid whatsoever. Got you know what I'm saying? So I think that's where the...

So they were negligent they were negligent after the mistake that they made and you'd have to prove that they like purposely were negligent. I think there's some other things that they did afterwards. They tried to cover it up or something like that. Yeah, like they told her, they told the mom that she was going to,

or that she's at the hospital already. The mom goes to the hospital, waits there for two hours. I was back. She's still in the house. Right. So like, so it seems to me that there is a cover up for a mistake that. It definitely was a cover up.

I can't remember what it was though. Right. So then you can hold them accountable for the cover up. My concern with these things is, is that we keep pushing a message out there to the world that can't be tried in the court of law, right? This is like a really fucked up case. Obviously, the cops are looks like as if the cops

have to press charge of them for covering up the murder. You have to press charges on them for, like, maybe not attending to the body after they shot it, right? But going into the house in the first place, it seems as if it wasn't their fault, no? Well, listen, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't have enough information on the case as to why they want the police officers arrested. But I know that there's people who've been working on this case and researching this case far more than I have.

So they understand why the officers need to be arrested. I do know, like I'm reading here now in the New York Times, she received no medical attention for more than 20 minutes after she was shot. Right. And the police have been investigating two men who they believed were selling drugs out of a house that was far. from Ms. Taylor's home, but a judge had also signed the warrant, a warrant allowing the police to search Ms. Taylor's residence because the police said they believed one of the two men had used her apartment to receive packages. And the judge ordered a so-called no-knock warrant, which allowed the police to enter without warning, all if I'd identifying themselves as law enforcement. No drugs

were in their apartment, nothing. So, I don't know. It seems like at bare minimum, this entire case needs to be investigated. It may be from a neutral source. Not internal, whatever it is. Like, what is that thing, Alex, where, like, the police investigate themselves? Internal affairs? Yeah, like, not internal affairs.

I'm talking about a neutral outside source got to come in and look at this cap stop to bottom and see because it seems like there's a lot of mistakes that were being made and a lot of cover-ups that have happened. And that's what happens when the justice system is connected to the police system. Obviously, you're going to take care of your boy, that's what people do.

Yeah, the officers, they didn't knock when entering. The officers said they, the officers said they did knock. Oh. Right? Yeah, they said they did knock and did identify themselves.

But her boyfriend said he didn't, they didn't. And that's why he feared for his life and he fired in self-defense. And they said that the police report contained a bunch of errors. It listed Brianna Taylor's injuries as none, even though she had been shot eight times

and indicated that police had not forced their way into the apartment, even though they used the battering ram to break the door open. Yeah, you got to this whole case needs to be looked at. This whole case needs to be reviewed. There's a lot of wild shit going on over here. Yeah. What a fucking idiot also goes to Matthew Slap. Who's that?

Matthew Slap is, he's the head of CPAC. If I'm not mistaken, hold on. Let me get that right. I don't want to. I don't want to mess that up. Matt Slap is, yes, he's the head of CPAC. Yeah, he's the CPAC chairman. And he's a Trump advisor.

Okay. And we can play that audio. He was on Fox News. And he actually was talking about Joe Biden and Joe Biden's cognitive abilities or lack thereof. And he said that Joe Biden couldn't even get through an interview with a rap star. without, you know, telling that rap star, you ain't black. Oh, he brought you up.

Joe Biden is essentially trying to duck and cover, not have a full campaign, hang out in his house, and none of us are able to really see what he's got. He ought to take an hour and answer all the tough questions, and he ought to release his schedule every day that shows that he's full all day long with events. Instead, we see a speech here or there. He does interviews.

He did an interview with a rap star. And he couldn't even get through that without a big foible on the U.A. black. So I think the problem is Joe Biden is not running a fully energetic real campaign. Wendy Ocefo, I want to get your response to this. What we want to hear is facts. What are you going to do for those individuals who have lost family members due to the pandemic? What are you going to do to ensure that we do not have another issue like George Floyd within our police departments?

That's what we want to hear. And when, you know, Biden made the comment about African Americans, that was not a rap star. That was Charlemagne the God, who's a nationally syndicated radio host. You know, I know he's a black man, so he may think he's a rapper, but he's not. I got to salute, Wendy Ocefe, Ocefo. I really can't pronounce nobody's name. I hope nobody takes it personal. It's actually remarkable.

That's why I have so many nicknames for people. Yeah. Wendy, oh! What up, Wendy, yo! My girl, how you? You know what I have? I really can't pronounce nobody's name. But Wendy checked him right then and there.

And that's what you should do. I am a stern believer. I don't believe in canceling. I believe in counseling. So I don't believe that Matt Slap is racist because he referred to me as a rap star. I just feel like he has a cultural blind spot. And I feel like people have stereotypical tropes when it comes to black people. Clearly not tall enough to be a basketball player.

So if you see a black person and, And they have a certain level of success. If you see them on television and they're talking to a presidential candidate, you just think in your mind, oh, that guy's a rapper. I, you know, and listen, once again, I don't think he's racist. I think that's a cultural blind spot. And it's a positive stereotype. Rap has saved a lot of lives. You know, rap has gotten a lot of people out of the ghetto.

Rap is financially empowered a lot of people. So I don't get offended when somebody calls me a rap. Star, I just think that person needs to be corrected. And Wendy O. Wendy Ocefo corrected him right then and there in that moment. And I thought that was brilliant. Now, do you care about the context in which, like, what he was talking about? Do you believe that it's true that, like, Biden is a little mentally off?

I think he's old, bro. Yeah. I think he's just old. You know what I mean? I think he's old and he's at that. He's, he's always had gas, right? Like,

that was Biden's thing. They always said Biden just say anything off the top of his head, right? And now he's older and it's just really bad. That's what happens when you get older. He's, what, 80? I don't fucking know. You know what I mean?

He's older. Yeah. So I'm sure there's some cognitive decline. But that's what happens when you're 80, I would think, right? I just don't understand how we got into this situation. I just don't understand how that is the best candidate on the Democratic side, how they looked at everybody and they were like, nope.

And by they, I mean like, even Americans, how Americans looked at everybody they had up there and they were like, nope, this is the guy for the job. He can do it. He was a safe bet. He was a safe bet, I guess. He was the guy that, you know, they felt like could win. They still feel like that, you know.

And, you know, he probably is going to win. I don't, listen, beyond what you, I don't know what's going to happen in November. The only reason I don't know is because there's just a lot, bro. You got so much voter suppression. You don't know if you're going to have interference from other countries. You know, you have voter depression where people just don't feel enthused about Biden or any are Trump. So they just stay home all together. You know what I mean?

Like, I don't know. You know, it's interesting is both sides believe that they're going to get their votes suppressed. Like Trump is nonstop tweeting about, oh, they're going to rig the election. You know, obviously your. talking about how Trump's going to find a way to rate the election or there's going to be outside interference. What happens when you cheat on your girl, Shultz? Say what?

What happens when you cheat on your girl? Why would you, I don't. Why would you even ask the question like that? Why would you even phrase it? Why would you even phrase it like you do it? Yeah. Why do you phrase the question that has no good answer? That's a horrible question.

It's like saying, how does it feel to have AIDS? Wait, what? You know how you should answer that question? No, you should have answered that question? I wish you the best. What happens when you cheat on your girl's show? I wish you the best, man. I wish you the best.

Hypothetically, I'll tell you as a reform cheater. When you cheat on your woman, you feel guilty. Right. Right. So now you start thinking about all the things she could possibly do to you or has done to you. You understand what I'm saying? That's what Trump is doing right now. Trump is like, these motherfuckers.

fuck is going to beat me at my own goddamn game. All right? They probably got the Chinese working with them because the Chinese hate me. You know what I mean? Like you don't know what's going through his mind. So I don't know what's going to happen in November, but it's going to be entertaining. I know that much. I think people should be very frightened at the fact this weekend.

This week. Really this weekend. Donald Trump did an interview with Fox News. Kanye West had his press rally in South Carolina. sound bites galore from Donald Trump. Sound bites galore from Kanye West. Where the fuck was Joe Biden sound bites? You ain't had nothing to say, Joe?

Yeah. You don't got nothing to offer. Don't think for one second out of sight, out of mind. I'm telling you. He just put out a commercial today with Obama. He just put out a commercial today with Obama, Alex's saying. Today is Wednesday. Yeah, yeah.

Five days of press. That Obama shit ain't going to slap. Yeah. I ain't going to slap. I haven't seen it yet. What is he supposed to do? What would you do? I mean, I don't know.

I would just feel crazy that my voice doesn't resonate as a presidential candidate. Say what you want about Hillary Clinton. Everything Hillary Clinton said got dissected like a motherfucker in the meeting. People got to love you or they got to hate you. When they don't feel any way about you, when they just like, I can take it or leave it, that's not a good space to be in, bro. It's not a good space to be in. And I think that's the space that he's in.

And that's why I saw him on Joanne Reed the other day. And that was a good headline that came out because everybody's so intrigued on who his vice president is going to be because they want something to be enthused by. He said, I've got four black women that I'm looking at. You better put one of them sisters on the ticket now. Let's get this shit going. Who do you think is going to get it?

Kamala? Probably Senator Harris, which I'm not mad at. I did see something really good that came out of California this week. They had a California delegates. So let me see if I can find this. California delegates had put out their list of who they wanted. Your brightness up on your screen. For me?

Yeah. It's as bright as it can go. Oh, okay. Yeah. So they had California progressives. They want Barbara Lee, Karen, Bags. are Nina Turner to be vice president. And that was interesting.

You know what I mean? The reason that was interesting is because, you know, Senator Harris is California. They didn't put her on the list. They put those three. I love Senator Nina Turner. If Senator Nina Turner was the VP, I'd find a way to vote twice.

Really? Oh, my God. Senator Daniel Turner is the truth, the one divided by none. I don't even know who she is. Who is she? Oh, man. She used to be a Bernie Sanders surrogate.

She's with Bernie for both terms. And she used to be a senator in Ohio. She comes on, she's on, she's on MSNBC and CNN a lot of times. Like she's, yeah, she's a beast. Like she, she, she, she, I'm telling you, I mean, it'll never happen, right? But if Joe Biden was to put her as the VP, oh my God. I'd be, I'd go, I'd go out there and stop for that ticket. Really?

Absolutely. A hundred percent. Yeah, you know, you were saying, what was it, you know, out of sight, out of mind or whatever the fuck it is, like how Biden is basically. It looks as if his strategy is just to not say anything bad until he gets the election. Then hopefully people. He's trying to quiet game his way into the White House. Right.

It's like the quiet place. Don't say anything. Don't get killed. Be quiet. Yeah, yeah. So I think we were having this conversation yesterday, but it's really interesting. Like, you know how they said, you know, Trump is, or people who voted for Trump are like, you know, he's such a great businessman. He'll do great with the country, right?

You heard that argument? Yep. The problem with that is that he's running the country like a business. And when you're a business, you only satisfy the people that consume the content or services of your business, right? The vegan restaurant does not care to satisfy the steak lover. It does not care to satisfy the person who eats ribs. Who eats ribs. And the steakhouse does not care to satisfy the vegan, right? You have your constituents and you satisfy them, right? Uber does not care to satisfy people who like to ride bicycles all day. That's not for them. So the thing was happening with politics is Trump has become this amazing president to the people that fuck with him. Like, they love him more than anything.

Trump supporters, I've never seen anybody love Trump or a president as much as Trump supporters love Trump. I don't even think. I know why that is. You tell me this. You tell me if I'm wrong. Do you think it's fair to say that Trump supporters love Trump more than black people loved Obama? That's a good question. At the time, I'm not sure. Black people loved Obama at the time. You didn't see a lot of pushback. Well, yeah, you didn't see a lot of pushback on Obama until after he got out of the White House.

And he was in the White House. It was people that were pushing back on him. You had brothers like Cornell West and Tavis, Bali, was doing what they were supposed to be doing, actually, which is taking the president to task, right? The president has to answer to his constituents, but black people love them some Obama, bro. So here's the thing. This is the only reason why I bring that up and I ask that question. Because I believe Obama wanted to be the president of the United States of America. He didn't want to be the president of his supporters. And I think Trump has no interest in being the president of the United States of America.

He's operating no different than he would operate with a business, which is, I'm here to support the motherfuckers who support me. me. So if they like this shit, that's what I'm going to give them. Whereas Obama, I think specifically throughout his presidency wanted to make sure he wasn't just black people's president, that he was the president for everyone. Now, a lot of Republicans might give pushback on that, be like, ah, he didn't reach across the aisle enough, this, that the other, okay, I'm sure there's going to be pushback. And yes, he was satisfying the Democratic base more than Republican base, of course, because that's where his values lie. But it is a really interesting way to look at politics and where Biden might be failing because Biden,

currently does not have a base that he is satisfying and he is not feeding them anything. He's just kind of like existing as not Trump. It's disgusting. And the problem with that is if Trump has turned politics into business, there is no such

business as I'm not that business. Yeah, you can't just open up a restaurant, bro. What's in there? What's in there, dog? Tell us the food. If I got a chick filet on the corner and then there's just this building. It's just a sign. It's just a building. You don't know signs.

You don't know what's coming out of there, but somebody's telling me that's a restaurant. Guess what I'm going to go do? I'm going on what I know, baby. There we go. That number one with cheese. Okay? All right, I'm going to get that chicken sandwich with cheese.

And I'm going to tell you something else. You're absolutely right. Not only does Trump catered on one base, Trump gave his base a name. That's a team. Mag is a gang, baby. Branding. Make America great again.

Yo, people can say what they want. Probably the greatest brand in presidential history. And it ain't even his. It's Reagan's. It's Reagan. Yeah, but Reagan ain't put that shit on a red hat, though. That. You know what I'm saying?

Reagan ain't put that shit on a red hat, and Reagan didn't give that shit a name. Make America great again. Maga. First of all, you know how you know that shit was hot? It's hot because rappers duplicated. Make America trap again. Make the hood great.

again. Yeah. You know, make, make, crack sell again. Like, everybody comes up

with these different ways to flip it and bounce it. That's when you know you got some dope shit. Say what you want. If it wasn't racist, if it wasn't bigoted,

his campaign team would have won that award. They didn't they give, they gave Obama award for the whole we can believe in. Yeah, yeah. Maga would have got that award

if it wasn't tied to racism and bigotry, easily. So then it goes into the discussion as to why he doesn't seem to kill. to satisfy anybody that's not his base, right?

And why he's leaning into satisfying his base, right? So if his base, I'm not saying everybody who votes Trump is racist. I'm not saying that at all. But if there are people that are racist that do vote for Trump, he's not going to alienate them because remember, he's a business that has to satisfy the customers of his business. So if you sell steak and some people like Tri-Tip, you're going to keep having TRI-Tip.

Even if you don't like making try tip, you're going to keep having it. And that's the problem. What the fuck is tri tip? I think this. Isn't that like the little pieces of steak or something like that? You said that shit. I thought somebody tried to swing on Tia. What the fuck is tri-tip?

He said try-tip. You know, I guess a CERloin or whatever the fuck. Who knows? I guess what I'm trying to say is like that he's treating this so much like a business that he is satisfying everybody that's willing to and pandering to everybody who's willing to support him. Yeah. And it's a weird way to look at politics because politics is not supposed to be that.

We're not supposed to look at politics as a business because it is your responsibility as the president to be the president of all the people in the country. Even if you ran on your platform to get there, you still have to consider half the people that are in the country that do not like those things. And I think it's important to consider them and kind of like be valuable in your beliefs a bit. Donald Trump super serves his audience. That's what he does. He super serves his audience.

And listen, you're supposed to be the president of all people. Even if you're not the president of all people, at least fake like you are. Yo, so here's the thing. And I really think this, I think that the legacy of presidents that only satisfy their base is far more intact

than the legacy of presidents that try to satisfy everyone. For example, Obama, his legacy, has taken a, a bit of a hit after he's been out of office. Bill Clinton's legacy, taking a hit after he's been out of office. Reagan, who literally only considered, and I'm not the most, you know, adept when it comes to, you know, politics back and day, but it seems like Reagan only considered his constituents. You know, you could say he flooded the hood with drugs and you could say that he brought a level

of conservatism that was, I don't know, not very admired by the left. This guy's a hero to the right to this day. People literally say, I'm a Reagan conservative. I'm a Reagan Republican, whatever it is. So I wonder if for your legacy is better to say fuck the haters. The only reason I think Barack Bill and even George Bush, their legacies were altered because George Bush's legacy was altered in a good way. The only reason I think their legacies were altered is because Donald Trump showed how much power you have as a president. And because Donald Trump is doing what you said, which is super serving his people and making sure his people are good

and his people are straight. It makes the people who supported Obama say to Obama, why couldn't you do that for us? Or it makes the people who supported Bill Clinton say, why couldn't you do that for us? And then on the flip side, you still have the people on the right

who have been speaking out against Obama, who been speaking out against the Clinton. So when you have both sides that have something negative to say about you, it does put a little a little din on your legacy. Not so much the people who've been against you, but the people who were for you. Right.

People say, hey, why didn't Obama do more for black people? You know what I'm saying? Like when you see these brothers and sisters who support Donald Trump and they say Donald Trump is done more for black people than Obama did, yeah, that's a little, that's a little stain on the legacy a little bit. You know, I mean, Donald Trump got the first step back done, even though it's not like Barack Obama wasn't trying to push,

you know, prison. reform, our criminal justice reform, it just kept getting pushed back on. You know, Trump was able to get it passed, right? So it's just little things like that where the legacy gets tainted. And somebody like George Bush, his legacy gets better because for the people who hated Bush

would think Trump is the worst ever, they're like, bring George back. Anything would be better than what we have. Right. Only because, even if you didn't like George Bush, your sense of normalcy was not effective. America got a routine. You've been out of our routine

the past five months show. So why doesn't Biden run on that? Run on bring back normal. Run on bring back the routine. I mean, you can find a sexy way to say it. But if you know what the people miss, like, and I'm not speaking of Biden. I'm speaking to his like campaign managers and etc.

If you know what the people miss, run on what they fucking miss. Like no bullshit. Biden should run on Make America Great again. It's got to be a combination. That should be. be his message. That's a good point because, you know,

Donald Trump has a commercial running now that says you're not safe in a Joe Biden in America. Yeah. But all of the footage that they're showing is from the past few months. This is Trump's America. So if I'm Biden, I mean, if I'm Biden, I take you back to how life looked under Obama. I take you back to how life looked under, you know,

those past eight years. And I said, let's make America great again. I don't know, make America Barack again. I don't fucking know. Who the hell knows? It's something. Let's take it back to when life was, quote-unquote, normal. Because our sense of normalcy has been all the way disrupted.

That's the thing. We've never been in this position, America, ever. Not since I've been alive. What were you saying? The only problem with that messaging, though, is people on both sides have a distrust for the government. So if you try to give them the notion that we're going to, go back to status quo, that's not a message people are willing to get behind, I don't think. I agree with you, but I'm going to tell you something, man.

That's a good point. A few more months of this shit, motherfuckers don't give a fuck. I'd be like, man, give me the goddamn status quo. You're not even waiting on the line too long. You're not even waiting on the line too long and you want one thing. You have that Jamaican spot. They tell you they don't got an oxail for the seventh time. Just give me the goddamn jerk chicken.

Seriously, because people want what they remember. You can't even get on a plane and just go out of the country, bro. Can I ask a question? Because I heard this criticism. I thought it was interesting, but maybe you have different perspective on it, which is, I heard it from a buddy of mine who's liberal. My boy, Robbie, who works on the monologues with us. And he's like very liberal, but he said this. It is curious that you see all this uprising and all this, like, protests and all this, like, rioting in liberal-run cities with liberal mayors and liberal.

and liberal politicians and liberal, I don't know, governors or whatever, like, well, not governor of a city, but like, what, and he goes, it begs the question, is liberal politics no different in terms of what they can do for people, but are they rather only just lying and selling a dream that they can't cash in? I mean, that's the, yeah, I mean, that's been the question, right? That's been the question throughout the whole Trump administration. That was the question when Hillary was running. But what do you think about that?

When you see all these like, I'm going to get to that. Who exposed that was Barack, right? Because Barack was in the White House for eight years. Right. So you got you got what people thought was the most progressive, even though he's moderate, most progressive, black, he's black, he's liberal, he's Democrat, like, you know the America's about to change.

But it didn't. Right. You know what I'm saying? But it didn't. So now when you sit back and you look around and that's been something that they've been pointing out, You look at all of these cities that are run by liberals, the crime is the worst.

The poverty is the worst. It's just like that's what's got people saying, what are we voting for? That's what's got people jumping over to the other side of the aisle saying, I'm down to vote conservative because they're putting some money in the hood. They're offering something like people have been turned off by the Democrats. And I'm going to tell you something, if we don't see something very radical if Joe Biden wins.

I'm talking about, I'm talking about Lyndon B. constant radical, like culture changing shifting. Right. Black people might bounce from the Democratic Party altogether. They might just be independence, you know. Like my man, West Bellamy, he's got the Black Liberty Party now. I expect to see more of that happening. You know, Bob Johnson was calling for Black Lives Matter to be its own political party.

I can easily see black people going with any of these parties and just voting with whoever has their best interests at heart, voting their interests like we always should anyway. but I can see a lot more that, you know, in 20, when is the next, 24? Midterms. Well, presidential election election. Midterms be like 2022. Oh, 22.

I can easily see people just voting in blocks starting in 2022. Easily. It's just interesting because I never consider it like that. And then when it was kind of laid out to me where you see all this unrest and these people who are fighting back, these people who are staunchly democratic, staunchly liberal, hate Trump are fighting back against systemic oppression when the people that are elected in their cities are democratic, staunchly liberal, and represent all their beliefs. So it's like, what system are you fighting back against? And how is this the Republicans fault?

If you've done your job as a citizen to elect these people that reflect your views, why not take some accountability and be like, you, apparently the people we're electing or the views that we have aren't getting us out of this situation. It's almost as if they're protesting themselves. One of the most impactful ads that I've seen is this ad that shows Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi. And it says something like 100 plus years combined of political failure. Yeah. Because it, and it's like, you know, you're trying to blame Trump. You've been in the Senate all of these years, 40 plus years for some of these people.

Mm-hmm. But you're trying to blame Trump for what's going on, for what's not happening in America because he's been in the last three. It's like, it's kind of crazy. And again, I think that when people hear this, they go, oh, here you are, stumping for Trump. Or it has nothing to do with Trump. Like, every criticism that someone has a Trump, Okay, perfect. Let's go with it. Let's say you're right about every criticism you have for Trump.

I think the argument you brought up is, which is great, which is like, well, if these are the three people that are running the Democratic Party, and these are the three people that are running the Democratic Party are the ones that are choosing the direction of the Democratic Party, and that party has not been helping the people that they're supposed to represent. and the cities that those people live in are the ones that are rioting and doing all this other stuff, don't you think it's almost in Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and whoever the other person you said, don't you think it's in their best interest that you take all your rage out on Trump

and out out on them? I'd rather you be upset at that other guy than me, especially if I'm the one lying to your ass for over 40 years. You're acting like these cities haven't had Republican mayors, though. Who? New York City.

had Who was Portland? Luliani and Bloomberg. Who was Portland's Republican mayor? I don't know. Not Portland, but I mean, these cities have had

Republican mayors. I mean, you know, things are better in Philadelphia under Frank Rizzo. No, I don't know, Chris. Again,

I'm asking the question, but like, I would go so far as to say that, I don't know. I go, what's up, Al? Crime is?

He's not, he's not, listen, he's not wrong. I mean, this is a stat, and I just looked it up so I can be clear,

America's 25 worst cities are Democrat-led. That's just a fact. You can't argue with facts. And yes, when you see Joe Biden as the president, it's like, damn, we're not going to try nothing new. We tried something new with President Obama.

President Obama was something new. I thought the Democrats would continue to go down that lane. I thought that they would continue to get blacker, browner, younger, more diverse. with gender and Joe Biden scams people because yes, it feels like some of the same old same old.

One second, Al wants to say something, but another thing, Chris, and again, Chris, I'm just asking these questions here, but I feel like the only way you can make change is through accountability. And I feel like just pointing the finger at the other side doesn't acknowledge, I don't know,

the failures of your own side in a way. Sure, I mean, look, the Democratic- have failed. I mean, to me, it's more a call of like, do we really want a two-party system, you know, like, I agree. We don't have to be married to a two-party system. Right. I agree. A lot of countries have multiple parties and that can get confusing and it can cause issues and you have to build coalitions, but in a way, it keeps people more accountable, right? And that's what I would like to see. I'm with you on that. When I vote locally in New York City, I always vote Green Party a working party, even if the candidates on the Democratic ticket,

because I just want to encourage there being more diversity in terms of your choices. I don't think it's healthy just to have two parties. I'm with you on that. I just feel like if I was one of those, if I was one of those old senators that's been preaching about all the change you're going to make and how much you're going to help minorities

and how much you're going to help the oppressed, but hasn't done anything to do it in 40 years, I would love if you focus all your attention on that other party. I would love if you focus that attention on Trump and Mitch McConnell and all these other characters over on the right because it takes the attention off of me and the fact that I haven't done anything. That's just what I would love. Alex, what are you going to say?

Just one thing to note to crime is related to dense populations. Right. And most dense populations lean Democratic. So it's like that. I wouldn't say it's, the governmental rule that's causing the crime. I think it's just a population. Al brings up a good point about correlation.

You mean like cities? Yeah, like major metropolis. That's not necessarily true though, because I mean, you got Memphis and, you know, these rural areas like Augusta, Georgia and, you know, Florence, South Carolina. Yeah, they'll always be some outlier. Like, making Georgia.

Like, I'm looking at the list right now. Like, you got cities on there, but you got really, it's these rural areas. Albany, Georgia, you know, Monroe, Louisiana, Florence, South Carolina, Mobile, Alabama, like, yeah. It is interesting. I mean, it is, it's just interesting. It's just like, if you really want to make change at a certain point in time, we've got to be a lot of less fingerwagon. You know, there's got to be a little bit more pointing at yourself and just going, all right, what can we do?

And by self, I don't mean, like, literally, what can I do as a person? But more like, holding your party accountable. If you got these motherfuckers that are representing you and you are out in your own city destroying the city and protesting against the city, you are effectively protesting against your decision to elect people. People have lost faith in the Democrats

at the worst possible time. And that's the Democrats' fault. That's definitely the Democrats' fault. 2016 was the worst possible time. And people stayed home. I say this number all the time. 4.4 million people who voted in 2012, stayed home in 2016,

a third of them were black. And don't be surprised if people stay home like that in 2020. Don't be shocked. And guess what? It's nobody's fault with the Democrats. And they're always putting the burden on black and brown voters to show up for them when they haven't shown up for black and brown voters in fucking decades.

Showtie. Young Hesi. And you asked me a question, shows. What was that question? I asked you, what are your thoughts on Kanye West? What are my thoughts on Kanye West? As far as what? I was curious about Kanye West.

You know, we are potentially going to do the monologue. on him and everything that's happened. And I was curious, you know, what you thought his condition was and if he had a condition. And, yeah, I just wanted to know. And I want to get your perspective on it. And you, I thought, had very interesting perspective. I think Kanye West, he's clinically diagnosed with bipolar, right? Yes.

That we know. But I just, I'm skeptical of the fact that all of these. these manic episodes always tend to happen around album time. And, you know, Kanye, Kanye by far is the, is the most entertaining figure in rap ever. Like, it's not even close. If this was wrestling, he is Dwayne, the Rock Johnson. Nobody cuts better promos. Okay.

Nobody creates more compelling spectacles. He is, he is the best. He knows how to stir up waters to catch fish. And I just, I pay attention to the timeline. I remember, you know, like a month ago, they announced he was a billionaire, right? Didn't really garner the attention or make the noise that he probably wanted.

So he calls up Forbes and tells Forbes, oh, yeah, I got my fucking net worth wrong, whatever, whatever. Then, and I'm probably skipping some things. Oh, the Gap deal. The Gap deal gets announced. 5% equity and gap. Great. But that didn't really make the splash splash, you know.

Put out a song. What's out of song with Travis Scott with a video and everything. That didn't get a splash. They didn't really go garner a lot of attention. I mean, of course, you get mentions and stuff like that. But boy, when you tweet out, I'm running for president in 2020. Even though that should have been something we, none of us paid. attention to because it wasn't real. Just like now the campaign isn't real, but at least I guess

he registered with the FEC, but at the time he hadn't even registered with the FEC. So it wasn't even something we should have really gave any energy to. But the media, just like Kanye, loves attention. The media, just like Kanye, loves a headline. The media just like Kanye loves publicity. So of course the media is going to run with that story and it became a thing. So now, okay, now I got you. Right? Now I got you really paying attention. Let me just keep pushing on this Kanye for president thing.

So what's next? All right. I'm not really registered with the FEC. People are not going to take it too seriously, but they are taking it seriously. Let me really register with the FEC and C is what happened. Oh, first Kanye says he's dropped. and out. That gives a lot of attention. Nope, Kanye's still in. He's registered with the FEC now. Now, Kanye says, let's go have this rally in South Carolina. We can get signatures to

be on the South Carolina ballot. Fly down to South Carolina. Do the goddamn rally. Say all of this wild shit. Get all of these headlines. What do you do the next day? You don't even turn in the fucking signatures. Right? So how serious are you really about running for president if you don't turn into motherfucking signatures? Now you got everybody up in arms because of a statement you said about Harriet Tubman, it pains me that I can understand Kanye West sometime and what he's trying to say. It really does. It pains me. Because I understood what he was trying to say. All he simply was saying was Harriet Tubman didn't really free slaves because you're never truly free in a white supremacist system. Right. But it's bullshit. Harry Tubman did free slaves.

Right? She did our job. And it's up to us each generation to continue to push for the liberal that we all want as black people in this country, right? That's why I love Tamika Mallory's the name of her organization because it's called until freedom, right? So until freedom. So basically there's no peace. The work will continue to be done until we have true freedom. So everybody is like a baton.

Harriet did what she did. She passed the baton to the next generation. That generation did what they did. And every generation we get closer and closer and closer and closer and closer to the freedom that we're trying to acquire, right? Boom. very next day, what does Kanye do to make y'all forget about this Harriet Tubman shit?

What the fuck does he do? Now, I'm going to tell y'all something. The last two days have been the most honest and most genuine, I think Kanye West has been. I think when he's talking about his marriage, I think he's honest. I think he's genuine about that. That I truly believe, right?

Everything else I have to be skeptical about. And that's the fifth agreement. Don Miguel Ruiz told us the fifth agreement. Be skeptical, but listen. So I'm just listening because I'm aware that the brothers have been clinically diagnosed with bipolar. Right. But it just makes me wonder why all of this stuff

conveniently happens when he's got an album coming out. When he's got things he wants you to pay attention to like sneaker releases. If I'm not mistaken, it's a goddamn easy dropping on the 24th this Friday. It's an album dropping this Friday. It's a movie dropping this Friday. It just makes me skeptical of these manic episodes and these headline grabbing things he does when he's got an album dropping. That's all I'm saying. I think that that's completely reasonable.

I don't think you're belittling mental health in any way when you show your skepticism 100%. And I was on the same page as you. until 30 minutes before we started recording this podcast. Talk to me. We're having a conversation. And it comes to our attention that this last, you know, rant or outburst or whatever you want to call, Kaya is doing,

potentially jeopardizes the Gap deal, which he could make billions of dollars on. Why do you think it jeopardizes it? Because for a brand like Gap or any brand, rather, you're taking a huge risk when you're doing business with Kanye because of these outbursts. Now, you're taking a risk because of the upside. Like only desperate brands get invested in Kanye West, right? Adidas wasn't popping. It was struggling.

And then he has this huge surge. Gap was as low as you possibly can be. Gap was non-existent, right? And then the stock prices shoot. I'm sure all the people in his camp right now are brand new people, right? Because he can only, I'm sure he like filters in and out of people. I'm sure like some of the closest people around them have no longer friends with them. I'm sure that happened with rappers.

I'm sure it happened with producers. I'm sure it happened with the people that are doing it. So everybody that's in business with them is basically in business selfishly. They're like, yeah, what can I get out of this? I'm attached to this big name is popping. But when I figured, when we figured that the gap deal was at stake, potentially because of how crazy he was acting. I go,

nah, this has got to be serious mental illness because he doesn't make close to the amount of money on his music as he does on his clothes. The music is pennies compared to the clothes, right? So you don't risk billions for millions. And I'm like, oh,

shit. And then we were talking some folks, and it turns out, Kanye has plenty of these breakdowns. We just don't know about them. Plenty of these breakdowns happen. Plenty of these breakdowns happen when they're not surrounded by a situation like this. And what often happens with his breakdowns is he gets emboldened by his successes.

So when he becomes a billionaire, when he gets this easy deal, all of a sudden, he becomes so, he already has this like amazing belief in himself. But now that increases 10 times. And he goes, as it should. As it should. With most people when you have success, but maybe with someone who's bipolar, it goes even more extreme than you or I. And I'm like, oh, shit. This guy is really fucking struggling. So when we see that guy, we see him saying these horrible things and we see them saying these incredibly divisive things.

And borderline, I mean, not even borderline, damn right, disrespectful things. You know, Harriet Tubman risks her life time and time again two free slaves, right? Now, she didn't have the ability to free them from systemic oppression. She didn't have the ability to free them from a white supremacist system, but she did free them. But when he's saying these things, I think that while we can ask him to be accountable for his actions, 100%, we also got to realize we're looking at a crazy person, man.

I don't like a sick person. But I get what you saying. Let's use sick. We're looking at a sick person, man. This person is legit sick. And we enable that sickness. when we give him our attention, we enable that sickness

when we keep fucking with the clothes and keep fucking with the music. And I'm not saying don't fuck with the clothes and don't fuck with the music, but it's hard for him to not to continue getting these opportunities if the second he drops some shit

or lined up. You know what I mean? It's just, and I don't have the answer just yet. I don't even know if I'll ever have the answer, but I think the more I look at it, I'm like, wow, here is a person that is incredibly talented

and because of his talents, we're willing to look the other way when he is clearly sick and maybe the thing that we got to do is just be like, yo, man, we love you, Ye. You've done some amazing things, but, you know, we want you to get better. We want you to get help

and we can't keep enabling the sickness. Well, it's two things about that, right? I don't think that, I don't think any adult can enable another adult when it comes to their mental health issue. And what I mean by that is, Kanye West is 42 years old. I can't hold him down and tie him down

and force him to take his medication. You know what I'm saying? Like Kanye is clearly very aware of everything that he's going through because he tells us. It's not like he's a delusional person who doesn't know, hey, I deal with bipolar. You know what I mean?

Who doesn't know he's a manic? He's said these things to us on multiple occasions. You know what I mean? I think we do, think we um we we we we we we we we we we we we we do ourselves a disservice by making it seem like an adult can make another adult do something well you know you if you if you know you have a problem uh you know you have a sickness you have to go and and treat that sickness um

and when it comes to the gap stuff man once again i'm i'm i'm i'm skeptical only because I think he mastered playing a sucker to catch a sucker. Because those are the gyms that went unheard at the rally, right? When he said things like, the Gap don't have no black people on his board. Adidas don't have no black people on his board. I'm going to walk away from the Gap if they don't do such and such and such. What happens?

The gap stock drops like 6% the next day. What does that do? It makes you, Kanye, more valuable. now. Right? Or now people, now people start looking under the hood and like, yo, the gap don't have no black people on this board. And you got to ask, why isn't Kanye on the board of Adidas? He's, he's made that company company's net worth triple, quadruple. Why is there no black people on the board of Adidas? And why wouldn't that black person be Kanye West? And when you go in that rally and say, hey, I want 80, 90 percent from Adidas and I'm going to walk away. You may not get 80, 90 percent,

but they might increase you of 15% and put you on the board. Listen, I don't know. I've just seen him do this before and he usually gets what he wants when he does this. Yeah. When he, you know what I mean?

When he does these rants and shit, he usually gets what he wants. He gets what he is going after. He gets what he's complaining about. So I don't know. I think that a lot of times we like to use mental illness, mental illness. And I would never try to downplay anybody's mental illness.

but sometimes you can be a man-child too. Sometimes you can be a narcissist as well. You know what I'm saying? So two things can be true. It can be all of these things. Like, it's not just one thing. It can be a combination of all of this. Sometimes the mental illness induces the narcissism, right?

And it just makes it that much stronger and that much more powerful. And it makes it that much trickier to treat. You know, I got a lot of mental illness in my family, bro. You know, so it's like something I got to deal with firsthand, and I see it. I see, they actually say that certain people,

like, it's not denial. Denial is part of the illness. So as the illness gets, as the sickness gets stronger and you get more and more entrenched into that bipolar episode, it's not that you believe,

it's not that you're denying that you have a problem. The illness literally is telling you, hey, people are going to try to tell you you have a problem. Your brain is so, so willing to believe whatever paranoid,

that it feels that it's very difficult to talk someone out of it. And I just feel like the only thing that he understands is attention. And if we keep on giving him this attention,

then he's going to keep on leaning into it. I keep telling people, why do we keep giving this campaign that's not even real attention? And then we're going to be upset. We say these stupid things like...

Because we love car crashes, bro. We fuck every one of these shows on TV. It's about the housewives that is. So the real housewaxes, housewives of that. It's just women fighting.

It's just a car crash show. Are you watching cable still? You know what I'm saying? But like, for real, that's what it is. It's like, how do we get people to fight? We love the fucking car crash. And we say these people to argue, you know? Yeah, and we say these things like, oh, Kanye West is a distraction. He's only a distraction.

If you let it be that. Okay, you have to turn to that channel. Right. You have to turn to that channel. I'm going to tell you the wild thing about Kanye. It's always the scariest thing in regards to mental health and just in regards to people who you see crash and burn. It's always the qualities that make you, that break you. A queen in my life, Marvet Brittle,

Marvet Brittle, who I love dearly, you know, helps me every day, you know, as a man and as a professional. She has this quote where she says, your talent will take you where your character can't sustain you. Your talent will take you where your character can't sustain you. When I see Kanye was,

and I've known Kanye was since the beginning because I was in radio by the time he, you know, he started. So I first met Kanye in like 06, something like that. So I've known Kanye from a long time ago. We got way old pictures. together. So I've interviewed him back in the day, like when I was with Wendy, like, old stuff. He's always been the same person. Like, like, what is, we're, we're not seeing

anything different. Like, he used to call these rants, these things we used to call rants. These things we now call rants, we used to call them verbal screams of consciousness. Remember when we used to use that term in regard to the Kanye? Verbal screams of consciousness. If he was upset about not being in the fashion industry, he would vent about it. If he was upset about, you know, With them not playing Jesus walks on the radio, he would vent about it. If everybody was doing the street rap, Kanye came in the game going to do the backpack shit and everything else. Literally, when people would go left, he would go right.

It's just that when he went out right, we wasn't fucking with it no more. How dare Kanye West go against the grain? That's who the fuck Kanye West is. He always goes against the grain. Let's be honest for a second, people. He stood on that stage and he muttered something before Mike. Mike Myers and it didn't really make much sense. And Kanye went and did what he always does.

First, he tries to regurgitate what somebody tells him, when he's heard. And that didn't come out right. But he went with his feeling. George Bush doesn't care about black people. And that's good. No facts to back that up. Okay?

No facts to back that up other than, other than what happened in New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, right? And that's how everybody, But that's how everybody felt. Charlotte, maybe he meant to say George Bush doesn't care about Iraq people and he got that shit switch. No, no, no, no, no.

He was definitely talking about Black people. I think that's what it was. No, no, no. He was talking about Hurricane Katrina. He was definitely talking about Hurricane Katrina. I think he was talking about the war in Iraq, bro. But what I mean by that is the late response that George Bush, you know, did in New Orleans, right?

It was a late response. But Kanye said, George Bush doesn't care about, all black people. Let's not sit here and act like that was the most profound shit in the world to say, but that's how people felt at the time. Yeah. They felt that way.

Yeah. I think Taylor is saying black people felt that. And that's why they're against him. Yeah, I think Kanye West is quite possibly the worst communicator in the history of humanity. That's all I'm saying. Let's not act like just because we agreed with a line. It was some profound shit to say. And I think oftentimes when we see people who are,

so gifted at one thing, we assume those gifts trickled down to the other things they do in life. Like, I remember once my father would cover boxing back in the day, right? And Muhammad Ali was, you know, like he was the biggest fan of Muhammad Ali, and he'd go cover his training camps and that kind of stuff. And he saw Muhammad Ali, like, throw a baseball or a football once, and he threw it kind of like a girl, you know how like girls don't have the best coordination when they throw. and my dad could not believe it that like the most perfect athlete he'd ever seen his entire life

like through the baseball weird and I think that's he was so shocked because you saw someone who was so prolific right not to his other thing maybe that is Kanye I was thinking about another point just now yes he's not the greatest community

oh Taylor Swift shit like that shit was ignorant as fuck yeah like who are you other than an ego-driven narcissist even though you're in the the thing that you, we didn't get mad at Kanye for, is because we

sat back and we was like, yeah, Beyonce should have won. But no, what the fuck he did was ignorant and wrong as fuck. Right. All right. Sorry to interrupt you. But what he said? Pardon my time. What the fuck wasn't? I can't remember the line now. I'm going to insert it. He was like, I'm going to give you your time now.

I'm going to let you talk. I'm going to let you finish. I'm going to finish. There you go. Yo, Taylor. I'm really happy for you. I'm going to let you finish. But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all times. One of the best videos of all time. I'm going to let you finish.

But Beyonce had the greatest video of all time. And he could be like. Right, that's some ignorant shit. What I'm saying all that to say, let's not act like Kanye. What's just started doing ignorant shit? Why are we acting like this isn't the same old Kanye? Because it's not about black people.

That's all it is. Because he's not rooting for, he's not saying. Or what people aren't seeing. He's not being ignorant on black people's behalf. Exactly. There we go. He's not being stupid on black people's behalf.

Yes. And now he's just being stupid for Maga and being stupid for Kanye. It's self-serving. But here's the thing. It's always been self-serving. He's always been ego-driven. He's always been a narcissist. He's always thought he was better than everybody.

He's always claimed to be the Louis Vuitton Don. Everybody's like, yo, he loves white people so much. When the fuck is Kanye West not loved white people? When Kanye talks about his inspirations, Kanye don't be mentioning no black people. Kanye's always wanted validation from white people. Well, I think Kanye wants validation from whoever doesn't give it to him.

Right? So black people gave it to him. So he's like, all right, that's dope. And then the fashion people didn't. So he's like, I need their validation. And then he finally gets it from them. And then some other group does it. So he's always gravitated to the, it's an insecurity.

security thing, man. He's always gravitated the people that won't validate him. Yeah, it's got to be another word other than contrary, because I'm telling you. And that goes back to what I was saying earlier, the thing that can make you, can also break you because if you tell Kanye, if you tell Kanye,

he can't do something, he's going to do it. That's why he was able to succeed as a rapper. His greatest gift is a producer. Yes, that's why he was able to succeed in the fashion world. But now you're telling him, don't you support Trump? Fuck you, I'm going to support Trump. Don't you run for president.

Fuck you, I'm going to run for president. Like he does whatever it is that you say he can't do. But going back to what Marvette said, talent will take you where character can't sustain you. Money don't change you shoots. Yeah. Money just multiplies whatever it is the fuck you are. And I'm saying all this.

I truly believe Kanye West is a good person. I truly believe that. I truly believe Kanye West is a good human being. Yeah. But guess what? He's also a narcissist. He's also ego driven like a motherfucker. Yeah.

I think there's a story, I can't say who told me, but apparently when his first album came out, he was having like the celebration dinner or whatever for the album. And there was like 20 people there. It was just like the close team, the people that made it happen, the A&R is like everybody who was really there invested in him and made it happen. And apparently at that dinner he's going,

nobody believed in me nobody said I could do this nobody said I could be a rapper nobody said whatever and everybody at that dinner is like we believed in you we're here of course we

wouldn't be here if we didn't think that you could do it but he has the mentality of doubt he is the mentality of they think I can't make it in fashion they think I can't make it as a rapper they think I can't do

be on the board of a whatever. And that motivates him and that pushes him. But if you company that, if you accompany that with mental illness, it's not a good motivator. It's a, dude, it's a thing that will destroy you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's what drives him. What drives him is people doubting him. Yeah, but when you add paranoia to it, when you add the paranoia of an illness, it's not just like Michael Jordan is the example of someone who had the doubt and it drives him. him, right? But it didn't drive him crazy. Kanye

is the example of someone who has the doubt and it drives him and then it's a company with mental illness and you don't know what the fuck the guy could do. And let's not discount the fact that he probably hates his fucking marriage. Yeah. Let's not discount

the fact that he hates being in that relationship. Let's not discount the fact that he probably hates his mother-in-law. You know, like he's, I think he tweeted out this morning. He'd been trying to divorce Kim for two years. You know what I'm saying? Like, he tweeted

that out this morning. Like, it's on, Google it. Google it. It's up. He's been trying to divorce him for the past couple of years. I don't know why they are still together. Who the fuck knows? If you're, you know what I'm saying? Why would you want to be with him? What advantage is it to be with? No, I'm saying, like, but, like, I don't understand, like, why people feel like Kim

can't not be. in this relationship. Like, why, like, it seems to me that her life gets way easier without him. She got all the money. You don't need the money. She got the kids. She, everything's good. Yeah, but I, I personally,

does Kanye provide her? I personally think that she wants, she doesn't want to fail marriage, though. I think that's what it is. Because her first one was 72 date. I think a lot of that has to, like, her. So if you look at it like that, it's almost like, is she, is she the hero in this situation?

If she's just in this to try to keep the relationship together and keep the marriage together for either for her kids. Like she's putting up with all that shit. She don't need the money. She don't need the stress. What is this? She's putting up with all this? This Kim's,

what is her fifth marriage? No. It's her third married, I think. Because she was married with that other guy. Like, so I guess it's like. Yeah.

I don't know. Married to one dude. Then Chris Humphrey. No, but she didn't. I thought she married someone like at 18, like one of the. Yeah, that's right. She married that producer guy.

18, yeah. It's like, all I know is. all of these things that we're saying could be true I just find it highly highly amusing that all of this shit happens around album time yeah why just album time

yeah this guy has to be the greatest of all time the Hulk couldn't even fucking keep this rage in when he wanted to the Hulk can't control this shit out of fucking Kanye West control this shit just around album time he lets this shit out the goddamn cage just enough. Like yesterday one day, I think it was Monday or Tuesday.

He just went on his whole tweet storm had everybody going down these rabbit holes. All this shit was trending and he comes back with, I'm just going to focus on the me. Today he's just posting track list. He even said all that shit about Kim and Meek and everything but came right

back to that goddamn donned trackless. Yeah. All right. And guess what I'm going be doing on Friday? Listening. Screaming that motherfucking Donned. Okay? That's exactly what the fuck I'm going to be doing. I told Andrew yesterday, I said, I bet you if I Google right now,

it's some Yeezy's dropping on Friday. And trust, I'm not a sneaker head, so I don't know what the fuck this means. So I'm going to read this to y'all. Y'all, correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah. On Friday, the motherfucking Adidas Yeezy 380 blue oat reflectives are dropping.

Price $230,30, release date July 24 of 2020, and he got a movie coming out. I respect the fact that this man knows how to create compelling spectacles like none other. The only people that keep motherfuckers paying attention to them the way he does is the Kardashians. And I'm going to tell you something else. I said this on the radio this morning. I don't feel sorry about Kanye spilling all of this family business.

And the reason I don't feel sorry about him spilling all of this family business because their family business is spilling their family business. Right. Okay? Everybody else shit get put on blast. Why can't theirs? And you think that this isn't going to be on motherfucking the new season and keeping up with the Kardashians?

Uh-huh. He cutting the check right now. He's like, are the cameras rolling when this shit is happening? If the cameras are rolling, let's get this, okay? Oh, you're recording Kim crying on the phone with Kanye? Let's get this. Every little headline about them becomes fodder for their TV show. You think they're not about to get,

You think Chris Jenner not about to get a bag off this shit? And guess what? They're also about to get a bag off of the Stalion, too. Because Kylie Jenner was there. Oh, really? And I think she has something doing it. Yo, what happened with that? You know, it's crazy Taylor's taller than Tori Lanes, bro?

Yeah. Listen, I don't know if it's true that Tori Lane shot. Isn't that wild? I don't know if it's true that Tori Lane's shot Megan the Stallion. What happened, though? For real. I don't know. And I don't know why is Tori being protected in this situation.

I don't get it. Who's protecting him? I mean, I guess they're not releasing that much. No. Nobody says it's happening. I guess because it's still being investigated, so they can't say anything. I guess.

But if I'm, if I'm making a stallion and somebody shot me in the foot in this social media era, I'd be like, yo, Tori, it would have been a tweet. Toraylaine's just shot me in the fucking foot. Yeah. Like, why is they not? It's got to be something more, yo.

It can't be as simple as Toray Lane shot me. the Stallion. I'm telling you it's got to be something more. I think she can't. I think she can't say it was Tori because then whatever happened in that situation is going to, her business is going to come out too then. I think Tori Lanes was protecting her from something. You think Tori was protecting her from someone?

I think it's something we don't know. I think that somebody, I think there's something we don't know. I believe Tori Laines was protecting Megan Estabialian. So he could be protecting her by shooting her in the foot? Tori's not in jail? He's not? Tori ain't, he ain't in charge with no shooting.

Really? I'm telling you right now, I think Tori Lane was protecting Meg the Stallion, bro. And you mean to tell me the best friends in the car, Meg the Steyt Steyton in the car, Tori Laine's in the car, and nobody's talking about what happened. Get the fuck out of here.

And this era where all we do is talk about what the fuck happened in real time? I'm gonna be honest with you. I can't see Tori Lanes getting, I can't see Tori Lane's shooting Meg Dostalian in the foot just because he was upset with her. No. I can't see it either.

I just think it's very strange that nobody has anything to say about this incident. People that were there. That's very weird. That's very telling that this is more than what we believe. I think Tori Shatter, and I think Megan is hiding the fact

because her business is going to come out too if she tells that Tori Shutter. What business could she have? What business could you have? Because it was already a secret, I guess, in a way that they were fucking around. They'd be on Instagram live all the time, Taylor. Yeah, but people could just think they're just friends.

People don't know that they were fucking their night. I'm not going to lie, I love that because it reminds me of when, back in my day when I was a whore, all women love short men, bro. All women love short men, yo. Some of the greatest women that I've ever cheated. Man, stop lying yourself. I know what? All women love short men, bro.

All women love, at least, come on. You know, why can they pick you? guys up too then. If Tori shot Meg the Steyian because of his fragile ego, Tori Lane is a complete

sucker. But I think it's got to be more to the story, bro. No, anybody fucking with Tori's music after that? I fuck with Tori.

Oh, no, what do you mean? If we find out Tori shot, made the stylet and the foot, Tori is a rap. You think it's over

for him? Bro, to shoot a woman? Yeah. In the foot? Let me tell you something. It took Chris Brown

for Evo to rebound. That's not true. You're trying to tell me. that it didn't take Chris Brown for ever to rebound? But no, no, they tried to. And he was right back. You know, he put that song. No, he was like a jack.

He, all right, sure. He didn't play, they didn't play him on the radio and everything. But he was still coming with some heat. I could transform you. I took Chris Brown forever. No, it didn't. I could come back. It transformed you.

That shit was fire, you know. Are you all serious? I know mad people that were still listening to Chris. They were upset with him. Don't be wrong. But it only maybe for like, I feel like maybe too much or three months. As long as this pandemic has been going on. Wait.

Yeah. No way. No way. No way. No way. No way. No way. He was so putting shit out that people were listening to.

No. People chewing double mint. It was all about it, bro. Chris Brown was 09. He lost all that double-min shit. Nah. The radio wasn't fucking with him. You're right.

Let me see Chris Brown. Let me see. Chris Brown album after Rihanna incident. Let me see. Nah, he killed it would transform you, Ma. I remember that song. But he had under, he had like, um, a mixtape.

Transforming, probably also. His phone was hard, but I didn't like it. And he was doing Transform you, I think. Deuces. Deuces was fucking in the 2010. It was like 2015. Let me see. That's when he came out?

What was the fast song with Buster Rhymes? Okay, it says, Brown is charged with two felonies. Stimming from a brutal attack. Remember Buster Rhymes rap so fucking fast and it was almost like, Look at me now. Look at me now. Look at me now.

Okay. He put up. out of an album called graffiti. I can transform you. It was the single. Transform you killed. That shit was crazy. The white club. I don't remember graffiti being a big album. Grffiti was not a good album. No, it was on the way back. That's how he was getting back.

Chris Brown, he peaked at number 11 on the R&B hip-hop songs charts. Oh, okay, the next year they, okay, the next year they let Chris Brown perform at the BET award. He cried. Oh, that's what, that was the breaker. When he did the Michael Jackson tribute. The wild thing about this, if you look at this, Rihanna was killing. Yeah. Yeah, she had number one albums all the type.

Like, she was killing. Yeah. Chris Brown's first number one single since 2006 was Duce's. And that was a year and six months after the Rihanna incident. That's nothing, bro. That's cool. That's quick. That's quick.

But no, no, I will say, though, the problem was though he kept getting in trouble. He kept getting in trouble. He kept getting in trouble. He kept getting in trouble. He was beating something. Yeah. The Robin Robin shit. He just started chilling now.

He just started chilling out. Yo. He just started chilling. Listen, let's pay some bills. How about that? Yeah, let's pay some bills. But the moral of the story is, I guess, I don't know, pray for Kanye. Yeah, pray for them.

Have them in your heart. Yeah, pray for Kanye. And by the way, real quick, when y'all motherfuckers say pray for somebody, don't just use the goddamn hashtag and some prayer hands. Really get on your motherfucking. knees and pray for people and stop performing for fucking social media. I hate that shit because I know y'all don't really pray. If you're being honest with yourself, be honest with yourself.

Taylor, did you put hashtag pray for yay? Did I put hashtag pray for yay? Yes. No. Have you said pray for yay in the past couple of days? Yeah, actually talking about it. Did you really pray for him? Why, huh, tell me out, why do I have to get on my knees to pray?

Why can I just like be right here? You didn't, though. You ain't do that? Yeah. How do you know I don't be praying? God is watching. you, go lie. Yeah, he does.

He's watching you. Hey, God's going to transform you. You better freaking, hey, tell the truth. I pray last night, honestly. Not for Kanye. I did put Kanye in it. She is lying. I'm not lying.

And God knows your ass. That's the crazy part. God knows you're lying about this. Why do you think I had to be lying about that? If I just said, I would just say no then. Promise to God that you prayed for Connie. last night. I'm Mr. God that I pray for Kanye.

She said she put him in it. She didn't say last night. No, you said you put him in it. I put him in it. At the end, the middle. I don't believe you. Where, where, like, what did he get? Was he like the star?

Was he one of the stars? I paid for all you guys last night. You did? Yes. Thank you. I don't understand why you have to get on your knees to pray, though, Charlotte. I don't understand why that's part of it. You could probably do the prayer just as good.

If anything, you're closer to God standing. Right? Like, if anything, you should be looking up on your tippy toes like, you're just like, you're just like, yeah. I don't think you have to get on your knees to pray, but I just want you all the lies, Taylor told in a matter of 10 seconds. First, she said, I prayed for him. I just didn't get on my knees. Then she said, no, I prayed for him last night. You did, though. Was I what? You on your knees last night? No, I wasn't.

See what I'm saying? Something ain't adding up. What are you talking about? I don't care, though. I don't care. God knows. It don't matter if you lie to me. Andrew.

If I pray right now. We'll make it better if I pray right now for them. You should to repent. So God don't transform you for fucking saying promise to him when you know you lied. Let's see it. Let's do it. Do the prayer for Kanye. Lead the prayer, Taylor.

Let's go. Lead the prayer. God will protect you. Lead the prayer for Kanye. Go, Taylor. Go. All right. Bow.

Bow. Bow. Bow. bow. By your heads. Dear God, you go, dear God. Dear God, with all this tragedy happening in the world and pandemic. That's how I know you've never done it before.

No, because in public is a lot of... That's exactly how I know you've never done it before. I don't know how to pray. I do not know how to pray in public. I'm dead serious. This is mad practice. You know not a prayer in private. It's a dear Lord.

I'm going to add like y'all not here. Dear Lord. Yes, act like we're not here. Go. Dear God. This is how you just usually tell my dear God. God, please thank you for looking over everybody that I care about. What about people who don't care about?

He also looks over at them. God bless them, too. You can't interrupt the prayer. Shows, that disrespectful? Oh, my bad. So it's a real prayer. Go. Seriously, bow your head.

Go, Kayla. All right. Yeah, Lord, thank you for looking after me and everyone that I care about. In these trying times, please look after Kanye West, who is obviously dealing with a lot of. not just stress, but a condition. And please guide him through his decisions, the right decisions. Please give him the strength and courage to say the correct things

and find a word for the correct way to say what he really wants to say. And please, jazz, bless over everybody. And Jesus' name we pray. Yeah. That's fire. That was a good player. I felt that one, yo. That's going to him.

That's cut the line, Andrew tweeted throughout the whole shit. I was praying in my way. You know what I mean? We all reach God in different ways, bro. Andrew said, I'll let you do the prayer. I'm going to put this hashtag out. Okay, hashtag pray for you.

God damn it. But isn't that a prayer in a way, anyway, if you feel like, if you're tweeting it, you feel some type of way forward in a way. No. No, think about it, no. That is not a prayer.

Do you say the people that are just tweeting like, pray your hands for Kanye, you don't think that they don't want? Absolutely not. It's all performative. They have not, if they're being honest with themselves, they have not performed.

They're performing for each other on social media. Do you understand when something is hot? You got to get them lights. You know when you're dropping by that crispy cream and that goddamn hot and now light is on? When a topic is hot, you got to post about that shit right then and there in order to get them likes, bro.

In order to get them retweets. In order to get them reposts. Yes. So I don't believe people that say pray for you. I really praying for you. You know, one thing I've always prayed for was clothes that fit. And it's actually cool that there's this company now called Indochino that they will make custom made, custom made and custom size clothes for you. Okay?

You can go into one of their locations. Obviously with Corona, it's a little bit tricky. But you can also do the digital, the virtual style consultation and shop online. It's amazing what they can do. I'm telling you, you can go buy these shirt. Look how ill fit in this shirt is. This shirt don't fit me at all, okay? This shirt I'm wearing right now, this car heart right here.

I love the shirt, but it does not fit because it's not made from my body type. It's made in this generic style and size that they hope will fit the most amount of people, not Indochino. I'm telling you, they do custom tailoring, custom suits, all for an affordable price. What you've got to do is you got to do that virtual style guy. Just do the virtual style consultation. I'm telling you're going to like it. You go to Indochino, that's I-N-D-O-C-H-I-N-O-D-O-C-H-I-N-O-com. Right now, you get an extra $30 to have any purchase of $399 or more at Indochino.com

You can customize everything you want. They got blazer shirts, coats, everything. and the fabric, the lining, the lapel shape, monogram, all choice is yours. You go out there and you get it.

The announcements are a very important part of what we do in church. Man, a bunch of shows have had to be rescheduled, obviously because of corona. But besides that, man, we're just putting out these monologues every week. You know, we drop them on Saturday.

So they've just been going crazy. I'm glad that y'all liked them and y'all have been sharing them. And I appreciate that so much. So keep doing that, man. It means a lot. Now, y'all do a great job. Thank you. With those monologues.

And they rip on you. Shout out to the team, man. Shout to Alex Media, Mark Gagnon, Robbie Slovic and Miles McCreary, man. There's four of us putting these pieces out. And it's a lot of work, but it's fucking awesome to do. They rip on YouTube. The best thing about the monologues to me is like, I don't have. have to agree with somebody as long as they make me think.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's all I asked for. All I asked for in a conversation, even if I disagree with you, I don't approach a conversation convinced. I approach a conversation with what I believe I know. If you can give me a compelling argument that makes me think about what I think I'm convinced by, you did your job.

Yeah. As a personality, as a commentator, whatever, you know? Yeah. And I told Andrew last week, I said, give me all the black jokes you don't use. I know that shit crack me up, right? Because I know you got some good black jokes that you ain't letting rip. And that's good. I'm glad you're not letting them fly.

All right. Everybody gets these jokes. Everybody gets these jokes, bro. We keep it all in. Because I got a lot of content, you know, that I got a lot of things I got to create in the next couple months. So, man, you know I got you, bro. Anything I could do to help on there. Give me all those black jokes.

Give me the ones that you know going to make me cringe and laugh at the same time. The ones that Alex says we can't include right before we start recording. That's the one. That's the one. I want. We always do a black read-through. Listen, black jokes matter, bro. They do, bro.

But they matter when they come from black people. Slide them to me. Let me take all that heat. Matter of fact, when I start this new TV show, when you see me say certain things, right? I want y'all as brilliant idiot listening is to be like, that was a hezzy. That's a hazy.

That came from Hessey. All right? Oh, shit. Now, let's do some ask an idiot and get the fuck out of here. Let's do it. What we got, Taylor. Okay.

Well, you kind of already answered that. Black underscore 6. How would you, feel if you had kids ages 18 to 25 that decided to date someone older, then y'all, like, 50 and up, would y'all be mad at that? Wait, what is the question? Basically, would you all be mad if y'all... That's a lot of math in that shit.

Basically, would you be upset if your daughter dated someone who? Then me? Like, yeah, almost like, or the same age. She said, like y'all, 50 and up. That's what it said on here. That's what I said on here. Right. No, my daughter cannot date nobody older than me.

No, without a doubt, no, never. Not happening. Charla, you actually have daughters, so this is a real question to you. I mean, you know, that's such a difficult question because you really can't control what a young lady does or wants to do. And I think that a lot of times when women get put in those positions, they do what Kanye West does. They do what you tell them not to do.

You know what I'm saying? She don't do that. I really don't know. I wouldn't like it. I definitely wouldn't approve of it. I definitely don't want this old motherfucker coming over for Thanksgiving. Okay?

The fuck is wrong with you. And if I hear one goddamn, you know, complaint that my daughter don't know who the fuck Wu-Tang Clan is, I probably punch you in your fucking mouth. Yeah, you're my age and you're dating a goddamn 18, yo. Of course you wouldn't know

why the fuck Wu-Tang Clan is. Yeah. Imagine that. Imagine a motherfucker coming to my house. He's my age. Mad at me. because my daughter don't know Wu-Tang. I thought you was the hip-hop guy, Shala.

It'll be an accidental shooting in Jersey that night. Yo, and it's stressful. A little accidental shooting at the house. Yeah, be you got to worry about your daughter and your wife. That guy should come for the whole family, bro. He'd come for the whole family. Everybody's on watch. Yeah, I don't, listen, I don't judge men that date, you know,

much, much older, much younger women. I don't judge. But I do judge. Because I just don't understand why the fuck would you at 42 years old want to date an 18-year-old woman? I don't get it like that. Don't they say to give them more energy or it keeps them a young? Yeah, you better take some C-Moss.

All right? You better find some strong pre-workout or something. What the fuck do you mean? Yeah. What else? What else we got? This is asking an idiot. A clock with no hands.

Want to know 100,000 years from now. name one person that will be discussed most of all people that's present living today. Who will be discussed the most? A hundred years from now? 100,000. 100,000 years? We don't discuss nobody from 100,000 years ago. Just do 100.

100 years from now, who will be discussed the most? Current person. Trump. I would say not, I don't think Trump. I'd actually think, depending on what happens, it's Elon Musk. because if we go to Mars and we actually like populate Mars like they're thinking we're going to do, well, of course motherfuckers are going to talk about the guy that got us there.

So I think it might be Elon Musk. And also if we do the Neurrelink thing that he's talking about where we actually like partner up with robots and we use NeurLink to like improve our brains. And if all of us are on that, we're going to talk about the guy who started it. I think it's Elon Musk, bro. It depends on if the Elon Musk,

of Mars or whatever planet or universe comes to Earth. You know what I'm saying? If they get here first, then it's a wrap. That's what I'm saying. If aliens come here first, Elon Musk is no longer genius. Yeah. He's only genius because

based off our standards and our IQ levels and our levels of thinking and what we've created here. He's the tallest midget. There you go. He's Tori Lanes. There you go. he's he's Tory Lane's in a room full of Duvall's

okay all right he's Torrey Lane in the room full of Duvall I'm not acting like Tori's taller than Duvall I'm about to say Duvall is definitely taller than Tori no yeah Duvall way taller than Tori

yes yes yes no yes he is yes and his voice gets way lower when he goes no he's not you know why I know because I've never seen the top of Tori Lane's head standing up I can Like when you're standing by Duval, you can see his ball spot. Okay.

Remember when we had Tori in the studio? Yeah. And I had the overhead care. I tried to get Nick to come put the camera on his ball spot. And he was about to fight Nick. But we had to revoke TV cameras get that overhead shot. I couldn't see that just standing up next to Tori. We were sitting down too.

No, but even standing up, you didn't notice that. You noticed the ball spot in Duval's head. I think he was wearing pumps. He might even wear a pumps. Or he got Duval. Or he got Duval. I don't think so. Nah, Duval's taller, bro.

I think so. You think so? You think because, you think, Duval's taller. Duval's skinnier, though, and you, like, I don't know. No, they're both pretty skinny. Tori's real skinny. Yeah, but Duvall shows more how skinny.

You think? Yeah, you always see, you always have his shirt off. You don't see Tori Lynch's shirt. Oh, he always got his shirt off the whole time. You do? I'm not looking. Oh. Yeah.

Okay. Anyways. Um. Is this last two? Yep. Okay. Let's do two more. Ask an idiot.

Um, Kevin. Demo, Demoa. With canceled culture at an all-time high, do y'all think there's anyone who's truly uncancelable? You're as cancelable as your fans allow. I think 50 cents uncans. Nah,

it's your fans dictate if you're cancelable or not. That's all where it comes down to. everybody's a business you know what I mean and the shareholders decide so if you decide to do a show on Comedy Central for example and you say something

that the fans of Comedy Central don't like then they could cancel you from that show but those people can never take away your fans if your fans fuck with you for who you are

and what you say in your natural opinions the only way you get canceled by your fans is if you change your opinions first of all that's what people don't realize about this cancel shit

is like you get canceled from spaces that your fans never existed in the first place. But if your fans fuck with you for what you say, they'll let you say whatever word, have whatever opinions, because they know your intentions.

Who's truly been canceled, though? Say again? Who has truly been canceled? You could lose shit. You can lose opportunities, but who's been canceled? What does that even? When people say canceled,

what does that even mean? I think they mean you get. I think we throw that term out there because we need to have a word for what we're attempting to do to a person. Who the fuck has really been canceled? What about that politician that used to be on SNL from like Minnesota some shit. Fugger's Al Franken.

Al Franken. He out of here. He lost his job, but he still comes on TV sometime. He does? Yeah, he's been, I think, where did I see Al Franken recently? Anthony Weiner. He got canceled. Yeah, this, look, look, I'm not saying, I'm not saying that you can't.

Politicians are different. Okay, I think politicians are different because they actually can lose shit and that's their livelihood and they can never be in politics. Because they're liars. I'm talking about entertainment-wise. Not because the same thing holds up with politicians. They're lying to their constituents. They're lying to their fans, their supporters about who they are.

So when the truth comes out, their supporters go, oh, you weren't who you said you were. If you're truthful in what you are and what you do, like imagine people trying to cancel me for making a fucked up joke. All my fans are going to be like, do you not know who he is? He makes fucked up jokes. That's what he does. You know what I'm saying? Until you make that, until you make the fucked up jokes. joke about somebody that's also fucked up that they like.

Not because they expect that for me. In my opinion, they expect that for me. They expect the fucked up jokes. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know who's, I don't know what, what, what, what canceled culture is even trying to accomplish. Like, I don't know who's can. I'm being honest with you.

I don't know who's cancelable because I haven't seen nobody get canceled yet. Even when they say shit like, R. Kelly, yeah, Kelly's, I guess, canceled. But, because he's not able to make content off himself, but people still make content off him. You understand what I'm saying? So even though he's not able to profit off his own name and his own story,

other people do. Right. So I don't know. Same thing with Bill Cosby. Like Bill Cosby's not able to make money off his own story, but if somebody came out with a documentary about Bill Cosby right now, motherfuckers will watch it. So you're really not canceling a person.

You're still giving them energy. You're still keeping their name alive in a while way. because you can't tell the Bill Cosby story without telling all the shit he accomplished, right? Because you have to talk about the shit he accomplished in order to show why this downfall meant so much. Same thing without Kelly. Are any of these people.

So I don't know who, I really don't know who cancelling. I think canceling just means losing an opportunity or losing a job. I think that's what can't. It doesn't mean like they have to like stop being a human being. It's simply, did they get fired? Did they lose an opportunity? Did they lose a job?

It just means being blackball in a way. Or, yeah, being potentially blackball. But like, you could always come back in different spheres. but I think that's canceling. And I think it is out there. And it's also, are you losing a job for something that you don't really believe in? Is Louis CK canceled? Yeah.

He lost a lot. He lost a lot. Now, he's still able to operate, but he lost millions of dollars, lost opportunities, lost his reputation. So, yeah, it is a problem. But, like, I think the way that you move around it is you create your fan base and create your supporters who know you and know your intentions, and then you service them. And it's when that's, that's interesting, right?

Because I wonder how Louis C.K. Fans feel because Louis C.K., you know, he was the king of that, right? He was the king of, fuck the industry. I'm going to give it to you the way I want to give it to you, right? And his fans love him. But he also admitted to doing what it is they accused him of doing. Nah, not exactly. I thought he admitted to jerking off.

Yeah, but it's, there's a lot more that goes on to that. And I'm not really allowed to talk about it. But there's a lot more that goes into that. that story. And that's the problem of when you give public apologies is you apologize for what people think you did, not what you actually did. So when he said, I'm sorry, everybody was like, oh, he held the door closed and didn't let the girls out and jerked off all over him. It's like, that's not, well, every detail may not be true. But even stuff, I'm a fan of you. That's weird, bro. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Even if I'm a fan

of yours, that's weird that you just, you like, you just like, you like jacking off. around people? Like, yeah. That's a little strange. That's all. I just wonder how his constituents feel about him. Yeah. That's all.

Yeah, it's possible. Anyway, don't. What do you think? One more, Taylor. One more phone, girls. Beggs Brighton. He wants to know, do you think if you grind and work hard enough anyone can make it or make it to where they want to be? Or do you think some people will work so hard and still end up not making it?

Do you have any examples of people who you know that never made it, but they always work tirelessly? I think there are a lot of. of people who like think they're working hard. But what's making it too? Also another thing is making it. But like I think there's a lot of people who think they're working hard, but they're just doing the fun part.

You know, like, uh, like I know there's a lot of standups who will do like five shows a night or four shows a night. And for me, I've always looked at the standup being on stage as not work. That's the fun. The work is what happens offstage. Going over your sets, understanding how to make jokes better, understanding how to like market yourself and how to get your name out there and understand what your demographic is and what's happening in comedy and how you can get advantage.

I never once looked at being on stage practicing the jokes as work because that is so much fun. So I think a lot of people get confused about the hours of work they put in. They're like, yo, I'm going up every single night or, yo, I'm practicing this every single night and say, yeah, that's the fun. That's not work. Do the work. You'll get where you need to go.

Yeah. I mean, that's a loaded question. I don't know if that there's like one correct answer to it. Because, yeah, I do think making it is subjective. You know what I'm saying? And I also think that sometimes you may have a good plan, but it's not God's playing for you. So, yeah, you might work every night, bust your ass, and you might make a great living,

but you might not ever become Kevin Hart. You know what I mean? You might not ever become, you know, Dave Chappelle. But does that matter? No. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know if that matters or not. Like, so it's just really about what your definition of making it is.

I know a lot of millionaire comedians who not all over your television, who are not hosting S&L. But their house is amazing. Right. Their cars are amazing. You know what I'm saying? They get to pay all their bills. What's the dude, what's the dude name that was always torn? The Indian guy.

Russell Peters. Russell Peters. Hilling it. Shit. Who wouldn't want to be Russell Peters? I mean, at one point in time, I think he was the most. successful comedian in the world. That's what I'm saying.

So it's just like, you probably don't even, I guarantee you we said that name. A lot of people probably don't know who Russell Peters is. Yep. But why wouldn't you want to be Russell Peters? Taylor don't know who Russell Peters is it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like making it is subjective. And also, yeah, you work hard and you're going to get what you will out of it. Like, I think, I think the biggest thing is defining what, what making it is. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's like deciding what is enough for you or what is, what is it that you truly want.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, y'all. Uh, appreciate you. Thank you for tuning into brilliant idiots this week. My brothers.

Um, my sisters. We apologize from last week. Oh, yeah. They were very upset. Sorry for being late last week. We've been busy. Man. Anybody got time to be losing shit because of y'all.

So we got a, right? We got to. We got to. comb through this shit with a fine tooth comb. All right. I don't know about y'all, but my definition of making it is a lot different than a lot of people.

Right? And I'm bringing people with me. Okay. Appreciate y'all, man. That's all. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent,

you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. If you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's a brilliant idiotous podcast. Thank you for listening.
