On this episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz kick things off with Andrew's no mustache reveal before Charlamagne recaps his latest Anguilla trip and explains why he's al...ready planning his retirement there. From there, the guys get into Jay-Z's three-night Reasonable Doubt/Blueprint run at Yankee Stadium, then ride the wave of Knicks championship euphoria straight into a full-blown GOAT debate, is Jalen Brunson really clutch enough to mention alongside Kobe, Jordan, and Larry Bird? They also get into NBA ownership economics, Trump's bizarre Medal of Honor comments, a wild World Cup "red card" mix-up, and a detour into the Rosenberg espionage case. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠ Checks out AlexxMedia ⁠AM Mornings⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:01:57 Nah, bro. else, yo. Bro, I swear to God that she's. You look like they did the, uh, what's that CGI age shit on you? And it stuck. Like that? Yeah, bro. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:07 You look like guy cold shows. Let's cut. Oh. Hey? Fuck y'all for letting me keep the mustache on that. Age of me 10 years. You didn't realize how you looked until you cut it off? I cut it off and I looked 10 years later.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I couldn't believe it. What'd your wife say? She kind of likes the mustache. But I think now, like, you know, I'm the young one. She's trying to keep. you from looking like your younger day. Just like he's like he lovel this whole time with that mustache. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I might grow back, who knows? But yeah, the movie wants me clean-shaven. So I could be in a coach. And I'm like, don't they look like I... Don't coaches have mustache? It doesn't that thing? Depends. I mean, what kind of coach are you? Young coach, older coach?
Starting point is 00:02:47 That's a great point. How old are you in the movie? I would say about my age. I have three kids. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, young coach trying to figure it out. Then you went to the Hamptons. Then I was out in the Hamptons.
Starting point is 00:02:58 waiting for you. I'll be there in a couple of weeks. I was home. I was home in Anguilla, man. You know? He took a picture of it. The guy who cut my hair on the movie, he's got family in Anguilla.
Starting point is 00:03:14 And he came to me, he's like, yo, I got a question for you about Charlemagne. I'm like, what's up? He's like, why his nipples so big? What? He showed me a picture that, like, his aunt or somebody took with you, and one of your titty,
Starting point is 00:03:28 is mad. I would not. I know I had a shirt on. You're in a white shirt and that shit is huge popping through. Like, what is it? Say again? With his aunt? I think it was his on or his cousin or something like that.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Is he black? Black guy, yeah. Hold on now. Let me show you see if this is it. Let me see if this is it, man. Maybe it's his cousin? I don't know. Did he show you the picture?
Starting point is 00:03:50 Yo, he faded my hair. First of all, they cut my hair and they did it. Now, your nipple was as big as shit in that one, too. This one was, like, on the beach. I don't miss a peck day, baby. Yeah. I don't miss a peck day, baby. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Damn, for real? Yeah. This was this trip? This one that I was just out? No, no. He said, I took a picture this time? Yeah. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I mean, I was there for 10 days, so probably Anguilla's home, bro. Like, I love us home, man. Yeah. Home, home, home. That's hilarious. Chris typed in Charlemagne to look at the picture. And the Empero came up. And the Embry came up.
Starting point is 00:04:26 What are we doing? Where are we starting, guys? How was Anguilla, man? Oh, my God. I mean, listen, you know what's so funny? I usually feel bad when I have to leave, but I felt so fulfilled this time. But also because, like, that's really home.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Skin looks great. You know, out in the stuff, but it's really home, man, you know. Like, that's a place I'm going to put roots one day. Really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:52 I already told you. That's why I'm retiring. I'm retiring in Angina. And you're going to live full-time there? At some point. Island-like full-time. I think it's tough. Nah.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I think it's tough once you've heard. Not for me. You think? That's what I want. To wake up by the water every day. Like, you know, it was just a peace of mind. It reminds me of growing up in like Monkorn in South Carolina. You know, things were, you know, slow and easy.
Starting point is 00:05:18 You know what I mean? Like, yes, I'd love to live on the eye. Really? You don't get stir crazy there? Your brain? Hell no. God bless you, bro. What?
Starting point is 00:05:26 You could do three months? That's good. Could I do three months? Yes, absolutely. God bless you. It's the best thing in the world. I mean, listen. I want to shoot myself in the fucking head.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I met you meet people out there, right? Like, I met a woman out there this week, and she's been living there for 15 years. She's from Connecticut. So she still got her place in Connecticut. So she lives out there. She comes home every now and then, and then she goes back. That's cool. Yeah, it would be the same thing.
Starting point is 00:05:51 That little back and forth vibe, I think, is cool. Yeah, it would be the same thing. But I love it. Yeah. I love doing nothing. I would still be there right now but I didn't have to come back
Starting point is 00:06:01 and do breakfast club You could do the whole summer there no problem Easy call Really easy call And how's weather in the summer That's my concern too Does it get too hot
Starting point is 00:06:11 Look at my tent What do you mean? Yeah It's like 80 degrees 90 degrees It's not what do you Like it's hot or here Is it hotter in Miami
Starting point is 00:06:20 Than it is in I don't know I haven't been to Miami So I don't know In Gwilla But it's like 80 90 degrees Maybe maybe 100 sometime, but you're by the water.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah, but Miami becomes uninhabitable once you get into July. Because it's too many people probably. Nah, it's just the weather. It's crazy. Anguilla, what's that? Anguilla right now, look. 84. 84. Beautiful. 84. Give it to me. Humidity 71. Give it to me. Precipitation, 14%. Going out there in that cold blue water, man. Drink some rum punch. Life is good, man. Life is good.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Listen, the only thing that brought me home this week was, of course, It worked, but Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium this weekend. Are you going all three days? I'm definitely going on Friday. Okay. Friday, Friday I got the company suite. Is it Friday, Saturday, Sunday? Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Starting point is 00:07:12 It's Reasonable Doubt Friday. It's Blueprint Saturday. And then it's extra in it on Sunday. So I'm definitely going Friday, though. I got to see him do reasonable doubt. I want to see him. I want to see the blueprint on Saturday, too. I just don't know if I'm going out to.
Starting point is 00:07:26 two days in a row. Question. Yes. Are you prepared for him to just do reasonable doubt? And if that's the case, do you think that you'll miss hearing some of his, like, more prolificate? No, I won't.
Starting point is 00:07:40 I think that specialty concerts are great. Like, when somebody says, I'm only going to do this album. Like, if you remember where you were when you first heard that album, the nostalgia of it is amazing. Yeah. And it's one of those classic.
Starting point is 00:07:56 album's from top to bottom, like every song resonates. Every song means something in some way. And sometimes it's not even about the music, right? It's about the story. It's 30 years of his first album that laid the foundation for everything. It's unbelievable. So we know what it probably means to him. So being that it means so much to him, that just means the show is going to be.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Well, yeah, and obviously he's going to have attention to detail and all these things. I remember I saw Travis Scott, I think it was in Boston or something like that. And afterwards, I got to- We can't compare Travis Scott. Let me just say, there's a point to what I'm saying. And I saw the show and I was like,
Starting point is 00:08:38 yeah, the show was great. And I went up to it and I was like, hey, man, the, you know, a lot of times there's certain music, you know, for whatever reason, when you watch it in concert, especially in like an arena this size, it just doesn't translate.
Starting point is 00:08:51 The musical experiences in there, especially if you're not having live instruments and some of these other things, they're, like, really, like, kind of exciting. I think one of the smart things Jay did earlier's career was, like, the Rock Nation Orchestra. Do you remember that? Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Having the live instrumentation. Build the Roots. Was that the Roos? Yeah, with the Root. So, like, the live instrumentation, like, changed something. Like, it was, and I listened to it. So I asked him about it, and he's like, you know, it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:09:12 It's like, when I'm making the music, Travis said, I'm making it for this. Yeah. Like, I think about. Oh, arena's now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think about the live show when I'm making the music. And that's why.
Starting point is 00:09:24 why it fits this space so much, whereas some artists, you could see it. They get into these big venues and, like, it kind of falls flat for whatever reason, even though when you're riding in your car by yourself, you're like, this is amazing. And so that's why I ask with this, like, that's an album made before Jay was ever doing huge venues.
Starting point is 00:09:42 But he knows how to do huge venues now. Of course. So what I'm wondering is, what is he going to do creatively to fill that space? I can't wait to see. Is it live instrumentation? Is it? I can't wait to see.
Starting point is 00:09:54 And let's also not forget the nostalgia feels the space. This is our Metallica now. No, no. I completely... This is our ACDC now. This is all rolling stone. But you get what I'm saying. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And I'm sure, obviously they have a lot of experience doing these concerts. But like, I imagine the people throwing it in him creatively are like, okay, we're at Yankee Stadium. This is a massive venue. We need to make the person on the highest seat feel connected. to this show. Let me let me, let me, let me, let me, let me saw what I saw in the company group text today. I saw
Starting point is 00:10:30 it said this is going to be the best show Jay has ever done in his life. Wait till you guys see. Wow. Wow. So they're probably already preparing in like, he prepared for, what, two, three weeks for the Roots picnic.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Oh wow. So he's, I mean, he's been in New York for weeks now. Like, we would have to pop up before I left for vacation. So he, like, it's like, Yes. They in there getting it in. Like, they was posting pictures today, you know, showing him and Emery going through the set list and everything. This is a guy who's been doing it for 30 years, guys. Like, he knows how to put on a great show.
Starting point is 00:11:07 He's done it all around the work. That's what I'm saying. I get caught up in the production of things nowadays. Dude, I remember you went to that play. Not even a play. It was a musical. Which one? You went and saw stranger things or something like that.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Oh, my God. And you were like, the production was fantastic. Un-Bah. Yeah. Like, unbelievable. You know, so funny you bought that up. I saw Cardi B was talking this week. She performed, where did Cardi perform this week?
Starting point is 00:11:32 And she was saying, World Cup? Was it the World Cup? It was somewhere, it was some big arena or stadium and she was just like, yo, I felt like it was too big, like they couldn't, like they couldn't even hear me. So she was like, I got to get, I got to focus on knowing how to play these type of venues. I just saw her say this recent. Was it Essence Fest? Oh yeah, she was at Essence Fest.
Starting point is 00:11:53 noticed that yesterday when I was performing I kept screaming and um that's because I really felt like I couldn't I felt like y'all couldn't hear me like performing in a stadium is definitely different than performing in the arena honey but that's going to be my goal I'm going to make that as a goal one of my goals is to have a show a Cardi B show a real Cardi B show at a stadium I don't know if I could do it but I definitely see the difference like goddamn I felt like nobody could hear me Everything was echoing. But next time I ever performing a stadium, I know the trick. And they were in the Superdome, I think.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Yeah, was it in Orleans? It's got to be crazy in that building. And especially if you're not used to. If you're not used to performing in that kind of venue, to your point, you got to know how to fill up, you know, that type of venue. I just saw her talking about this other day. But that's an honest, that's an honest conversation. Because as a performer, that's something you've got to consider.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It was audio what she was talking about it. But yeah, man, I'm just like I'm into the production. I can't wait to go see the production of it all. Mm-hmm. You know, that's what I can't wait for. Yeah. That's what I'm intrigued by. I'd be curious if he doesn't play anything else.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I think you brought up a good point though, because I was actually at an outdoor, it was a dance hall party, but they did a quick hip-hop set. And the DJ dropped, I think it was PSA. And the, and this is a dance hall crowd. People went fucking. But that sound, that intro is so... That's one of the greatest intros. That's just great.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Yes. But I'm saying, is there a track like that on a reasonable doubt that when you hear the opening bars is just like... Yes. Can I live? D-do-do-do-do-do-d-d-d-d-d-w... He was like, y'all invited y'all to something epic, you know? And then the first line is,
Starting point is 00:13:48 why I'm watching all these... He's watching me closely. Why I'm watching every nigga watching me closely. My shit is fucking Like that shit is gonna ring off at Yankee Stadium. Nothing hits, like even the start. Just the do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-thag. The heartbeat, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Hard beer with the intro. I think Can't Knock the hustle will ring off in Yankee Stadium. Bringing Mary J. Blige off to do that. It's gonna be great. It's gonna be phenomenal, guys. You know what I mean? I can't wait. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:14:17 What else, Jotty? What else happened, man? Um, in the world? Have you, I mean, the next one? We haven't even had a conversation since the game's been that long. Champions of the world. Get the fuck out of here. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Never seen anything like it in New York City, man. How beautiful. I've never seen anything like it. New York is absolutely a basketball town. Oh, there's only one sport we all care about. I honestly don't think any sports franchise has to win another championship for a long time. In New York? In New York period.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Now, a couple of Yankee, a Yankee World Series might be cool, but that shit can't get to the levels of New York. People lost their job. Did you see the big heavyset girl? 40 years old lost her job at J.P. Morgan because she stole a New York Knicks trash can, bro. Yeah. Yeah, that was a little bit, that was a little bit crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:08 They were waiting to fire her, though. She was like a D-E-I. They were looking for any. Why did that have to happen? I know. I thought the same shit. She did what? I was like, they didn't wait to get rid of the department for stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Put her on the street. We can't have thieves around here. And she was ahead of it. I know. So not only did they fire, they probably got rid of the whole department and nobody's going to say shit. What's J.P. Morgan executive, man. Dumb move.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Dumb move. But also, you got to grab that trash can. That trash can is fire. You know what I do find interested about what's going on right now, how the New York Knicks have shaken up the whole NBA. Well, before we get to that, can I just tell you? I didn't realize. I always knew that we were trash, but New York Knicks, we have this, like,
Starting point is 00:15:47 we have this delusional confidence every year. Like, we think we're going to win every year. every year the beginning of the season we truly believe we're going to win but I didn't realize how ass everyone else thinks we are because people are happy for us no no that's not because they dug your trash
Starting point is 00:16:05 not everyone's happy but continue I was walking into restaurants in California I would go eat at this restaurant in Ventura and I'd have my neck hat on I'd be so and people would be like oh let's go next I'd like oh you're from New York my first thing is like if you've room for the Knicks you must be from New York, you moved out here.
Starting point is 00:16:22 They're like, no, they're like, no, I'm just excited you guys won. I was like, why are you happy you won? And they're like, oh, it's just been a while, right? I was like, damn, are we that team? Are we that team? That's true, but you also still got to remember it's New York City. And as much as people give New York shit, people like to see New York on top. Nobody.
Starting point is 00:16:42 The world feels like a better place when New York has its proper place in the ecosystem. I could not agree. with you. Hey, Taylor, gang. Hi, Taylor. I think I genuinely think, like, America works better when New York and
Starting point is 00:17:06 Los Angeles and maybe now Atlanta. No, I think, no disrespect to any of those other cities. It's New York. Let me get it all out. Yeah. These places are there for your hopes and dream. And America runs on hope. So if you think you have no hope to make it in New York and no hope to make it in L.A.
Starting point is 00:17:28 And a hope to make it in Atlanta. Maybe no hope to make it in Miami. You're like, well, what the fuck am I suffering for? I got no health care. That's a good point. I got none of this other shit. I might as well live up in, you know, Canada. I'm going to live in Europe where I can get all these other things.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I'm sacrificing all that because I might be a fucking billionaire one day. If I move to L.A. or New York, I'll become a star or whatever. All about fueling that dream. It's dream. You don't care about the cost of living. No. I don't have to worry about it. I'm a millionaire.
Starting point is 00:17:54 If the cost of living attracted you, you'd have been moving to South Carolina a long time ago. It's the dream. I want to go to New York. I want to go to L.A. I get what you're saying. U.S. needs it. We need hope destinations. We need a place because I imagine it's everybody's dream
Starting point is 00:18:07 when they're a teenager in their 20s to live in New York for a few years. Living in L.A. for a few years. Get after it. Atlanta. You're right, Atlanta. Atlanta as well has turned into it. So you need it.
Starting point is 00:18:18 And like, I think this was that injection of positivity. people were like, oh shit, it's like that out there. And the Knicks, this version of the Knicks, and to the point of them not, I'm thinking about it now, to the point of them not winning in 52 years, that underdog story, you know what I mean? Because it wasn't like they were a favorite just to win the NBA championship at the start of the year. That underdog story.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Three years, but always counting. That underdog story. And for them to win the championship, Jalen Brunson being an undersized guard, people saying a small guard couldn't never do it. And this is the New York spirit. Now can we have a conversation and people won't call us xenophobic? Now do you understand why it matters when an American is considered the best player? People call us xenophobic today?
Starting point is 00:19:04 Oh, there was a whole fucking video. Somebody read a whole video. About us? They said Charlemagne xenophobic rant on Victor Wimbiana. Yeah, we are. They did it from Brionese. I didn't even consider a genuffic. I was just saying a foreign player.
Starting point is 00:19:18 No. Can we be xenophobic? I mean, not in basketball. I mean, no, we can't. They can't lay. We can't accept the label, no. But. Tell me, we're not hate, this is progress.
Starting point is 00:19:30 We're not hating him because he's black. In America, that's an upgrade. Hold on now. What's xenophobia exactly? Is that where you just hate it? You just said black. What is it? That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Black is racism. Xenophobia is another country. Immigrants, right? No, I thought. Culture. No, I thought it's a phobia of immigrants? Oh. I thought xenophobia is just like,
Starting point is 00:19:50 Follow all the other... I thought phobia. Yes. And that's the Olympics. It's a celebration of xenophobia once every four years, right? That's the World Cup. It's a celebration of xenophobia once every four years. Well, I can't, when we do it, when we do it, when we do it...
Starting point is 00:20:04 Fuck the other country, because I'm down for my country. Fuck the mother country, because I'm down for my country. What is it? What is the definition? Fair, dislike, or hatred of people perceived to be foreigners, or outsiders? Yes, y'all don't think that way. I just think when we can't be the face of basketball.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I don't even, that's too much. Okay, first of all, you put too much. If we've learned anything about America from the World Cup is we love other cultures. We love them coming here. We love sharing our country with them. We love the experiences that they have here. As long as they go home out. I don't even like soccer like that.
Starting point is 00:20:40 But you haven't fallen in love with the different people that have come here and shared. I don't even know that most of these countries had teams, bro. Like, they'd be naming certain countries. Like, they got a team. We need some AC in here. I'm already getting hot. I realized it's been a few weeks. I forgot how this works.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Seriously, bro. I don't get back in the Florida. You didn't know the other countries have soccer teams. That's all they got. But they talk about some of these countries like they're so bad and so third world. And I'm like, y'all can't afford to have a soccer team? A soccer. Soccer is the cheapest sport, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:09 It's literally a ball and nothing else. I'm learning. I'm learning. I didn't know. They can afford to play American football? I'm learning, yo. I thought it was, you know what's so funny? That used to be basketball.
Starting point is 00:21:21 But now basketball's so expensive to really try to get your kid to the fucking pros. Not even that. You got to make a basketball hoop. That's expensive. It used to be a fucking peach basket. How much of peach basket? No, nobody wants down there.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Everybody's too good for the peach basket. How much is the fucking peach basket? You don't even make these baskets no more because they're growing them shit in labs. Also. God damn. Yeah. Yeah, it's like that.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Welcome. But all jokes aside, there's certain countries you hear and you be like, damn, they got a team? Like what? Say it. Say, you xenophobic piece of shit. Yo, you're so xenophon. Algeria.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Whoever made that video, you were right. You were right, bro. This guy hates sporners. You know what he's Christmas saying? Why you said Algeria? I just don't know enough about the country. Isn't one of the greatest soccer players in history from Algeria? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:22:07 I don't know. Cape Verdeck. Oh, my God. I thought that was, I'm not, I'm not. I thought that she was in Boston. I didn't realize. I didn't realize. There are a lot of Cape Verdeans in Mexico.
Starting point is 00:22:18 No, I was confused. I was like, wait a minute. That's a whole... Shout out Cape Verde and Vosino. Like, you guys did it. Vosino. Panama? Panama got to have it.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I thought Panama Jack was just a person that used to be on shirts back in the day. Listen, and I thought that shit was in Florida. I did not know that that shit was a whole country. We're Americans. It's like we're going to learn a lot about... A lot of people assume that that's... The Panama's just a canal.
Starting point is 00:22:46 I'm learning a lot of this shit from the... World Cup and from being on Netflix, bro. Because, you know, when they say it's a hundred plus countries, you start looking, you're like, oh, shit. Oh, wow, who the fuck? So what's your favorite new country you learned about? Um, none of them. What you want me?
Starting point is 00:23:02 I don't want that none. No, I didn't realize how fucking xenophobic. By the way. Yo, you're so xenophobia. A peat's crazy, dude. It's $5 to $80. What's that? Where you are, a peach basket is $5 to $80.
Starting point is 00:23:15 It's between $5 and $80? Damn. there ain't nobody playing no basketball and no $80 peach basket $80. That's crazy. That's fancy. But I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:23:24 there's a lot of teams I didn't know I had soccer teams, okay, and it just goes back to my original point. And maybe it's the America of it all. There's just something about
Starting point is 00:23:33 when an American player is the best player in the world in basketball. Why is that not, why is that crazy? I have no idea. Why is that controversial? Nobody's trying to watch
Starting point is 00:23:45 some guy doing yoga on the fucking sidelines, bro. We want an American. I think right now in this moment, in this moment right now, Jalen Brunson is probably the face of the NBA and the Knicks are the team of the NBA. Okay, first of all.
Starting point is 00:23:59 You got the first of all. Jalen. No. Don't even start. No. Don't even start with this. You're derailing. You're derailing.
Starting point is 00:24:07 You're derailing. First name is correct. I see what the NBA is trying to do, though. NBA is like, yo, man, you saw what the Knicks doing, you know, by winning the NBA championship did for the least. like, you know, look at the ratings. Look how people are energized all over the world. They're probably thinking, oh, what's the next great American city?
Starting point is 00:24:26 We can get a championship. Birthplace of Liberty. I see that. That's where all, that's jail. Jalen got sent there for nothing. Now they're talking about potentially LeBron. LeBron at the four, making the cipher complete. Nobody can shoot.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Joel, BJ. No, he can shoot. Jalen Brown. We're squashing you guys. Maxie. We are absolutely slapping you guys up in the playoffs if you come with that bullshit-ass team. Even with LeBron's, Philly don't stand a good shot. You guys can't shoot.
Starting point is 00:24:56 You got to shoot threes. You know why? You got a foreigner you can't count them. That's a fact! Big seen to be xenophobic. I hope that's not considered... Big Z! I'm just saying you got a for...
Starting point is 00:25:07 Big Z! Can't count on, Chris. Who's the foreigner? Joellen B! Oh, yeah. Guys is going to play 22 games. Come on, Chris. By the way, Joel, you're telling me right now,
Starting point is 00:25:18 Joel and B's going to be healthy all throughout the regular season and all through the playoffs and all through the final, I'll be like, okay, all right, we might can do something with that squad, even without LeBron. But if Joel can't stay healthy, eh. Nah, not happening. It's really not happening. Nick's, first of all, Nick's Best Team League, obviously we know that. But Jalen Brunson is the best player in the week. Face of the NBA? Tell me why he's not the best player in the league.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Face of the NBA. See, I think y'all going to do it again next year. Yeah. Yeah. Come on, let's just stay. Let's stay focused. Let's enjoy the way. But we can stay right here.
Starting point is 00:25:50 So tell me who's the best player in the league, if not Jalen Brunson. You can say he's tied with Yokic. They've each one won championship. There are players who play under control. They're players who dominate the game at their own speed. I'm going to put him on that level right now. Now, if he were to win second, it's going to be much tougher with the emergence of Philly. But if he were to win a second.
Starting point is 00:26:08 You know why Jail is the best player in the league? Because he's 5'9. Okay, go on that. When you're short, you're not expected to do anything in the NBA. When you're considered an undersized guard, think about how they talk shit. They literally said you cannot win an NBA championship with an undersized guard, even though Isaiah Thomas showed you that they could. Even though Steph Curry showed you that they could.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Why, when it came to Jalen Brunton, you can't? And I'm going to tell you something else that makes Jailen Brunton the best player in the league. I was born in 1978. I am 48 years old. Damn. There's only two people that I used to watch. And when they were on the court, no matter what the score was, What the score was, no matter how much they were down,
Starting point is 00:26:49 you're like, you know what, they're going to find a way to pull it out. That was Michael Jeffrey Jordan and Kobe Jelly Bean Bryant, okay? And Larry Berg. Ha! No. Why not? Why no? I despise the man.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I had nightmares about the man. But crunch time? Oh, remember that. The bucket every time. I don't remember that. I don't remember that. Not like Michael and Kobe, bro. Yeah, but it's because you don't want to remember.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I just don't remember. Y'all don't remember even. Not as much as Michael more than Kobe, if I'm being completely. Not more than Kobe. Not more than Kobe. Not more than Kobe. Not more than Kobe. All I'm saying is Jalen Brunson.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Can you name any of Larry Bird's teammates? Yes. Name them. Robert Parrish, Dennis Johnson, Kevin McHale. All right. That was good. Honestly, I thought he was going to get DJ maybe. What you mean?
Starting point is 00:27:42 When you hit me with Robert Parrish, I was like, Black ones on purpose. This is maybe the bad way. This is maybe a bad line of questions. I started with the black ones on perfect. You can talk some Danny Aange in there. Danny A.N. Yeah, Danny and Bill Walton. Another cold.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Another cold. Wow. So you tell me you don't know Larry Bird, but you know every one of his team. I don't know, listen. Larry Burns is a beast. I'm just simply saying he didn't do it like Michael and Kobe, bro. Less than Michael more than Kobe. Oh, he was the cold. He might be the coldest white boy in his.
Starting point is 00:28:14 in history. No, I watched the video him another day and I thought that's you, they are. No, it's like that. I'm not even bullshit. No, he's like, they spent this shit up. And I think he's number two and assist for Boston. Nobody even thinks about that. Number two and assists? Like, you don't think of him as a passing big, right? No, Larry was beat. Incredible pass, sir. Lorry was a beat. I'm just simply saying when I saw him on the court, I thought Larry could be beat. Michael and Kobe always
Starting point is 00:28:38 gave me that, yo, you're not going to beat him. They're going to find a way to win. Jalen did that for me, bro. He, especially in this playoff, like especially in this playoff. Game five, because I said Nixon's six, game five, I'm like, yeah, he's not going to do it tonight. We were there. I'm like, he's not going to do it tonight. They're going to win.
Starting point is 00:28:56 They're not going to find a way to pull this one out. He found a way to put. You drop 45 in a close-out game, bro. He got Mamba mentality. What are we talking about? What are we talking? I will say he's more clutch than Yolkich, so I'll give you, I'll give you that. And he's small. So this is what I'm trying to say, like, if we're talking about best player in the league, right?
Starting point is 00:29:13 Like, there's two components that you got to look at. It's like, one, who do you want to give the ball to with seven minutes left? Boom. Every possession got to go through this guy. And you're not going to go through Yokage over him. You're just not. Boom. SGA?
Starting point is 00:29:26 So SGA is the argument that people don't bring up, right? Which is, I think there is an argument for that. But I think that, to be, to be honest, I think he's a little bit, it's a little bit more of the foul baiting. I know they say Jalen does that. But Jalen will foul bait and then he will finish on your ass. Pause. And then, but SGA is just going to foul big. Everybody I've ever seen with the type of clutch gene,
Starting point is 00:29:50 Captain clutch mentality that Jalen Brunson had is retired are no longer with us. God bless the dead. And that's Michael Jeffrey Jordan and Kobe Jailene. But you also got to give some credit to Big Cat, bro. I don't think Big Cat has gotten enough credit. Fundamentally changed the way the team plays. Best shooting big man in history of the game.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Like, if we're just looking at data, and fundamentally changed when they started going through him at the three point line top of the key when they started running the offense through him, amazing passer.
Starting point is 00:30:19 He's a nightmare. If he's your five and you've got to guard him two feet outside the three point line, okay, Wemby, come over here. They took Wemby off him. Remember, I think they were putting Wemby on heart.
Starting point is 00:30:29 His fucking cat was beating him on the first step every time. Dogging him. I'm telling you all, y'all put too much hype on Wemby. I told y'all that from the beginning. You crowned them too fucking early. I hated the David and Goliath messaging.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Why the fuck is he Goliath? You got to win something to be Goliath. You know what I mean? Like just because you're tall. Goliath was a foreigner. Goliath was a foreigner, bro. By the way, speaking of that, I don't know why people act like giants are such a far-fetched thing. Like, giants couldn't have existed.
Starting point is 00:30:59 They're in the Bible. Well, they did exist. Exactly. People act like they did not exist. They weren't giants, though. Like, why not? I mean, well, what do you think, like Mexicans thought when they saw? Many people are like...
Starting point is 00:31:12 What was you think? If Victor went beyond a walking here right now, you'd be like, holy shit. Like, how much more of a giant do you need to be? What do you think the people in the Middle East when they met people from Sudan thought for the first time? They were like, Joe. Yeah. They got huge. So you don't think that they were like, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:31:29 That's my point. Also, more pyramids in Sudan than there are in Egypt. I don't want to, you know, cause any problems, but I'm just trying to... They told. It was huge. They could just stand there and pick them up, stack straight. No what? Just trying to say, why don't the Sudanese get?
Starting point is 00:31:41 enough credit for their pyramid. They've been giving Mexicans too much credit for the pyramids, bro. You got to give them all the credit. You got to give them all the credit. You know that joke. You know that joke that I used to do. What about the aliens? That's about how nobody questions
Starting point is 00:31:51 whom built the pyramids in Mexico? You see what I'm saying? But they might have been tall, they might have been some tall Mexicans back then. No, they lived from the legs. You put that shit up from underneath. You got to get low, bro. Listen, also,
Starting point is 00:32:10 So, LeBron, just cut it out and go back to Cleveland. Yeah. I told you this last year. Don't come to New York. We don't want them. No. I'm going to fill. It's going to ring the bell, the liberty bell.
Starting point is 00:32:24 That's the narrative. You know why you're not going under that, Chris? Because this is the thing that Rich Paul and Clutch Sports and LeBron and all them care about. They care about the court of public opinion, and they care about how LeBron's legacy is perceived. Going to Golden State, not good for his legacy. Going to Philly. Not good for his life.
Starting point is 00:32:41 There's only one. Who suffered more than us? There's only one place LeBron could go that would make sense for his legacy. Let's just go back to Cleveland. So here's the thing. Let's go back to Cleveland. The reason why it's safe to go back to Cleveland
Starting point is 00:32:53 is because his legacy is still intact in that LeBron is won a ring for every team he's played for. You see what I'm saying? How many players can say that they've done that as the best player on that team? None, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe somebody I don't know who.
Starting point is 00:33:09 but and not including the players that have only played for one team. But he's won for every team he's played on, he's won a ring. So if he goes to the 76ers, they don't win, now that legacy is no longer intact. And they gotta be thinking about legacy
Starting point is 00:33:21 at this point. They ain't doing it for the money anymore. And you look like you're just a person that's always wanting to team up with, you know, whoever is the hottest thing right now. Like, kind of like ready-made championship. I don't think that that's a LeBron criticism. You go to Golden State,
Starting point is 00:33:36 it was the Steph Courier. Yeah, but like, I think that's more of a KD criticism than LeBron. But LeBron goes to Philly or any of those other things, you start getting into that KD. Criticism territory. You're ring chasing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:48 No, it's not ring chasing, man. He's a mentor to Tyrese Maxie, young clutch client superstar Maxi. There's a real relationship there. He's passing the baton to his... If LeBron goes to any place else except for Cleveland, he falls into Kevin Durant criticism territory. So Larry Byrd said this about...
Starting point is 00:34:09 about uh... Larry Bird said this about LeBron. He said it Oh fuck, I can't believe I'm forgetting. I know the club you're talking about. Yeah. Where he's like, Larry Bird goes, I won't have anybody who played with LeBron on my team. And I'll sign any of those guys.
Starting point is 00:34:26 And the dude is telling you is, I can't believe I'm forgetting who told us from. Point Guard, got a great podcast. Jeff Teague? Teague, yeah, T, my bad. Club 520? Yeah. Uh, hilarious storyteller.
Starting point is 00:34:37 He's fucking brilliant. Anyway, so he said basically what LeBron said to him. Ordo, he said Larry Bird said to him, I don't sign anybody who played LeBron. And Jeff's like, why? And said, because they're all bums. LeBron just makes them look good. Well, you got to be more specific. Because you don't feel that way about Duane Wade.
Starting point is 00:34:55 You don't feel that way about Chris Boss. You don't feel that way about Carrey. Duane got it without him. You don't feel that way about Anthony Davidson. Dwayne got it without him. Nobody else has gotten a ring without him. Yeah, Dwayne. Who else?
Starting point is 00:35:07 Remember when they're trying to hype up Mo William? was supposed to be an all-star. It's shit like that. Well, I think them early Cleveland days, definitely. Even Kyrie. Like, Kyrie hasn't had any success outside of Lubb. Nah, Kyrie's a great friend. He's still can ball, but he also's hurt.
Starting point is 00:35:20 He's maybe the single most talented, like, or skilled player in history. But in terms of, like, willing a team to victory, you can't rely on Kyrie the way you can rely on Jalen Brunson. Right. You just can't. Like, I'm sorry. He's been in those positions, and it didn't work out. He hit one of the bigger shots in NBA history.
Starting point is 00:35:37 With LeBron. When LeBron. The LeBron is getting double. It's more the Deladovas or the Timothy Mogg's. The early Cleveland days, man. He made those guys look like real players. The early Cleveland days when he was dragging them guys to the finals. All I know is if he goes to Golden State,
Starting point is 00:35:51 Steph Curry was the greatest player of a generation. Oh, you're saying that he's chasing that. If you go, if LeBron, because right now the conversation is between LeBron and Steph of who owned the generation. I still give it to Steph because Steph beat LeBron in the finals, what, three times? You're the only person that has that conversation. I'm just telling you, because people don't, they hate the little guy. And I don't even like beige people, but people who hate the little guy.
Starting point is 00:36:16 It's because Steph is small. Steph is, to me, the greatest player of a generation. He changed how everybody plays basketball, men and women. You don't get a Caitlin Clark without a Steph Curry. Yes, I agree with you. The greatest player of a generation. And he beat LeBron. How many times they're playing the finals head up for?
Starting point is 00:36:36 Three, three, three, one. I agree. He changed the game. I think he's the most. influential on the game of basketball, but I don't think that he's better than LeBron. Steph Curry, man. Got Steph Curry number three on my all-time list. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Where's Jalen Brunson on your all-time list? That's a good conversation. I was having a debate with somebody about Jalen versus Alan Overson. And I don't know if the ring makes you better, per se. With all due respect to AI, and this is the person who dominated, like, my life as a kid. Like, I love AI more than anything. He changed the way that, like, I want to play ball. I changed the way that so many of us want to play ball.
Starting point is 00:37:13 But Jalen Brunson is a better basketball player than Alan Armourcy. I'm going to co-sign that as a lifetime six years ago. And I say this with all due respect to AI as one of the greatest players I've ever seen play the game. So why are you saying that, though? Because it doesn't have the matter with the team, too, though? Sure. I think the team is obviously huge. And, like, the Knicks had an absolutely amazing team.
Starting point is 00:37:33 For sure. There's no question. But there's something about Jalen that, like, you know, this guy gets it done. 45 in a close-out game away. He respects the game and the habits that are required to operate at that level in a way that Iverson, frankly, never did. There's also that. And being clutch is a characteristic that a lot of players don't have.
Starting point is 00:37:55 They don't have it. And if you guys remember these certain plays as we're crawling back into that game, getting switch off so he could go after Wemby. everybody afraid to go on the paint on Wembe in the first couple quarters and then you get into that fourth quarter and we're crawling back into this fucking game and then you're going right at Wemby
Starting point is 00:38:15 shaking them up finishing at Wemby like come on that's going to destroy your psyche can you imagine Wemby trying to recover from that off the court too making a sacrifice on salary oh yeah AI's not going to do that
Starting point is 00:38:29 and then how many other Nick players are going to end up doing that because he did it to keep this team. I hope not a lot. I'm always conflicted with that. Yeah, I hope not a lot. I know what it takes to win.
Starting point is 00:38:41 What it takes to win is players sacrificing, but I also am like, all right, well, the people that own the team are worth billions of dollars. I don't like that shit. I hate what I got. Hopefully, Jailen gets his ultimate payout one day, but you can't be asking players just to sacrifice.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Now, what I would say is that the players make more than the teams. So that is something that is... Explain that. Like there are very many teams in NBA, they're not profitable. And so every player on that team is making more money. Yes, these billionaires can write off their losses against other businesses they have and yada, yada, yada,
Starting point is 00:39:16 but like when we look at paid disparity, if you looked at someone who just owned that one business, what the employees are making and what the owner the business are making and the employees are making more than the business owner, you would not think it's unfair at all. The reason we think it's unfair is because these are incredibly wealthy people and they can write off their losses against other businesses,
Starting point is 00:39:37 and we just don't really care about the finances of billionaires, as we shouldn't. What do you think Dolan could get if you put the Knicks up of sale right? 10 billion. Damn. That's the crazy, too, man. You know, it's, yo, there's no way you're ever getting... Am I wrong?
Starting point is 00:39:50 You're not wrong. But there's no way you're ever getting an ROI. Like, the Lakers just sold for $10, right? Wait, the Lakers sold for $10? I thought they sold for like $4. No, it was 10. No, I think it may be eight homes. No, it was 10.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Because Boston's over six, and I thought that was the highest. Look it up. I thought the lake is over 10. And they did some Fugazi shit. Ten. Nick's over 10. Nick's might be 12. So the Knicks is more than that.
Starting point is 00:40:11 You never get 12, 15. I got approach to do a, um... No, I don't even want to talk about it. Tell me. No. You know what I'm going to say? All I'll say is this. You know, sell the Brooklyn Nets?
Starting point is 00:40:29 If you get... You know, imagine being a Nick fan and then pretending to be a Brooklyn Net fan for all these years, and then the Knicks win. That was whack. I know some people that did that. I know some people that went K.D. and Kyrie and James Hart, they all switched over. But I know people
Starting point is 00:40:43 who had an opportunity to invest in like an NBA franchise, right? And when you look at the investment, there's no real ownership perks. And you're probably never going to make that money. You will. How? You make the money on the sale. It's a closed market. But when are you going to sell? And if the if the Lakers sold for 10, right? And you said
Starting point is 00:41:12 the Celtics sold for six, what's going to what is that going to look like in the future? 20 years from now, who's going to have 13, 14, 15 billion dollars? You won't have to wait 20 years. This is a fixed system. There's only so many teams. It's arguably the best investment in like the history of humanity. That's what they say. But it's, the numbers would prove it because these teams keep selling for insane multiples. You're going to lose money owning the team. You know that, but eventually you're going to sell it and because every wealthy person wants to own a sports franchise. So it just is what it is. By the way, I would, I could see that if there was ownership perks to the investment. Well, meaning like, because sometimes when you come in with these groups,
Starting point is 00:41:55 right, when you come in with these groups and you invest, you know, with the capital, like you don't, there's no real ownership. And that's, That's the question you should ask. But there are ownership perks. No, it's not. I mean, maybe at your guy's level of investment, then weren't. Exactly. Yeah, if you own like a minority, minority stake.
Starting point is 00:42:11 But if you're Jay-Z, you get to sit court side at your games whenever you want, you get to go to whatever concerts you want, you have to have full access. Absolutely. You want to get, like, all of your friends autographs from one. Like, there's amazing perks to it. If you get stuff like that, it makes sense. But to your point, at the level of investment that I know some of these people were coming in at, there was no ownership perks.
Starting point is 00:42:33 And you just sit back and you think, like, yo, this price of these NBA franchises are getting to the point where, like, you're buying them. You're not going to make that, all right? You think that that that guy will ever get his $10 billion back from the Lakers? Way more than that. Lakers, yeah. I think the only argument against it is the league's going to dilute itself a little bit in the five years between Vegas. They'll add a couple teams. They'll add a couple teams.
Starting point is 00:42:55 We'll go. Should Dolan sell since it's probably at its all-time high right now? No, because it will be even more. Like, why would you sell? I would never sell it to me. What if they lose? What if they lose? The Knicks sell out when we lost for 53 years.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Like, it's the best investment in sports. That's some shit you're keeping your family for it. Yeah, we love this team. Like, me, person. Like, about, like, I got, shout out to the Buzz family. I would never sold the Lakers, you know. You sold the Liberty. Oh, he did.
Starting point is 00:43:20 The probably, I think the thing, and again, I don't know the finances, but I imagine the thing with the bus family is like, they had all this money tied up in the, the franchise, but they themselves weren't wealthy. So it's like... Relatively. I mean, look, to us, they're all like the wealthiest people in the world,
Starting point is 00:43:37 but to the people that they're rubbing shoulders with, they're worth billions, but they can't take the PJ here, they can't buy the house in this place, they can't do it. They're not liquid, so all of a sudden, I think what happens is they go,
Starting point is 00:43:53 well, I want to be liquid. And then what I think they learn very quickly is I want to be liquid so I could do the things all of my, rich friends do. And I think what they learn very quickly is those rich friends now all of a sudden don't really care that much about you now that you don't have the access to the Lakers like you did because it wasn't really about how much money you got. Oh, you thought we liked you? Yeah, we don't like you. Yeah, we liked it. We like the access. You're on the Lakers, bro. So I think unfortunately
Starting point is 00:44:20 they learn that shit. Yeah, investing is funny. If you have the opportunity to invest in a NBA franchise, I think you should do that immediately. And I think you should tell me exactly which one it is. You want to go have? Which one is it? I'll tell you after... Can you, like, go like this and tell me?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Um... Oh. But it's no ownership perks. For the level of investment then. There is ownership perks. Not for the level of investment. I trust me, I asked. I went through the whole gamut. That's what I'm like, eh.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Would you let me make some... phone calls. Sure. But we'd be coming in on a group. Of course. We'd be coming in with a group. Yeah, but you're Charlemagne de God, bro. I'm just saying. Like, coming in with a group. Charlamagne the guy needs, like, Jay owns a percent or whatever was of the Brooklyn Nets, but they understood the value he brought to that franchise. So he's going to get more ownership perks than some other 1%
Starting point is 00:45:21 owners of the team, in my estimation. To what you offer a franchise is a lot different. And also, you still got to get a That's the other thing people don't realize. You still got to get approved. You are a felon. That's by way. That's why people get their records part in this shit like that. You're joking, but it's the truth.
Starting point is 00:45:38 No, absolutely. And we wild boys, you know what I'm like? We're wild. You can't stop being wild, you know what I'm saying? Like, there's been other opportunities I've had. You want to not be wild, bro? There's been other opportunities I've had. I was going to, I'll tell you this, I was going to invest in a football team once.
Starting point is 00:45:55 And I was right there. Right there. And? You failed a background check. Like, just kidding this guy. They're like the other owners and the other groups are like, how can we? Sure the man. Listen, I'm going to tell what they say.
Starting point is 00:46:10 How can we be sure he's not going to say something that is going to cause the team to look crazy. This is where. He's right. This is where. You got to, that's when you guys like, you respectfully bow out. People like you and I need a nice, clean-cut white boy. That can be the head- This is me you're talking to.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Oh, you got it. What? What are we talking about? I was going to make it. I can't think of her name. I got the best. You see what I'm saying? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:44 So she's the head of the company. But it's not even about that, to your point. You can't have no woman owning a sports franchise. It ain't that, though. Because to your point, they want to be able to use. You're like this. Me. Your ability.
Starting point is 00:46:56 What? sometimes that doesn't add up with what all the other owners and people are doing. That's just the reality of the situation. By the way, that don't even got nothing to do with, you know, criminal background stuff. That's just me. Sam Wild's shit on the pocket. As a personality. And by the way, anybody in this space who gets to that level where they have the access
Starting point is 00:47:18 in the capital to be able to make those type of investments and things is going right into that problem. What type of investment was it? for you personally, not the group. What you talk of financially? Yeah. What you mean money-wise? Yeah. What's you thinking?
Starting point is 00:47:41 Not M. Oh. K? Yes. That K? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Secrets are no fun. Secrets are for everyone.
Starting point is 00:47:53 That's a no-brainer. Don't even take the perks. That's just a fun... Oh, you're talking about for the other one with a basketball team? Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. I'll tell you that a minute.
Starting point is 00:48:02 We talk about that. There's no need to discuss business with people who don't got nothing. Like, this doesn't even mean anything. Like, we got to stop. I'm serious. We got to stop doing this. What do we do?
Starting point is 00:48:15 What do we do with? What do we do with this wrong? You know what's the problem with us is that we actually live our authentic lives? We're not trying to be captured by the audience and do what the audience is. I don't know, bro. But do you understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:48:31 No. Say it again. Like, I generally think that there are creators out there that are just like, what do the audience think and what does the audience want? And I'm just going to save those things. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. And then we're going to say some shit
Starting point is 00:48:42 that's like fucking annoying maybe, but at least it's authentically what we're thinking. It's who we are. Wouldn't you rather be talking to someone that's authentically saying what their life is and their experience? Because we're taking them on a journey. And they've been watching us for a long, long.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Can we own some sports franchises without pissing people off? Hey, can we just buy a sports team guys? I'm just letting you nose at some point you out row the clothes you're wearing. Yo, they can't let us all the sports franchise. Because even if they call, first of all, if they call me a minority owner, I'm a minority now and I'm using it. I'm using that. I'm talking all this shit about how these white people be holding us down and not getting us any fucking ownership.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Well, if I wasn't a minority, I bet I can get some ownership perks. You know what's so funny about that? being a minority when it comes to classism is hilarious. Because you see the difference. I'm sitting here telling y'all you can come in at a certain investment level. And yeah, to your point, if they sell in the future, somebody does happen to buy this team for such and such billion dollars, you'll get an ROI. But you don't have no perks. You as a minority owner.
Starting point is 00:49:52 You got to be able to go to a game, bro. I got to look and see. They don't even include season tickets. Hell no. No, because there's a lot of people that are minority owners. And they, yeah. These groups are big. Like, a lot of these groups are big.
Starting point is 00:50:08 So if you're going in, basically, they'll probably have an allocation, right? I'm going to make up a random number. The allocations for $10. Mm-hmm. Okay? And they'll get, like, a hundred different people that are going to give, what is it, 10 cents or whatever it is, so they could be part of that. That's right.
Starting point is 00:50:23 And then all those people are considered minority owners of the team. And you get to say it and you use it on your fucking business. You get to tell people when you're... It sounds good. Well, think about it. You're doing business with somebody, and they're an owner of the New York Knicks, or they're an owner of the Lakers.
Starting point is 00:50:41 All of a sudden, they're legitimate. Bro, Usher wasn't a minority owner of the Cavalids, but he had some... He had Perks, DeVosters, because he used to be at the games. Nelly was a minority owner of the Hornets. Jay Cole was a minority owner of the... I think he might be a minority owner of the Hornets now, if I'm not mistaken.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Right. So, like, yeah, it happens. It's like, it's not like a far-fetched thing. But those people don't need the contacts. Imagine you're somebody who's just a regular business guy. You own a construction company that's very successful and lucrative. But now you're an owner of the Washington Wizards. Now you're up for a construction contract.
Starting point is 00:51:17 You're going to give the contract to somebody who just owns a construction company or are you going to give the contract to someone who owns a construction company and they're a minority owner of the Washington Wizard. Doesn't that sound legitimate? Yeah, that could throw in some seats. It would make it even sweeter. you could probably do that. Sounds good.
Starting point is 00:51:32 But you know, another reason I didn't do it because shit got to really mean something to me. Yes. If it was a team and like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's like for me, it's just like, I don't have no connections to that. Like, it's not like a money play. Like, there wasn't any community initiative.
Starting point is 00:51:49 And I've got something to you? Yeah. Because I think this will happen in the very near future if it hasn't already happened now. I think now at the NIL deals and like the amount of money that's going to be generated in college sports. I think what they'll start doing is like
Starting point is 00:51:59 selling stakes in the teams. I was going to ask that. So if you give money to a school to be used for NIL deals, it's really just for the love of the school, right? It's not an investment per se. No. You're not expecting to get any sort of return on it.
Starting point is 00:52:14 No, there is. I don't want to talk about it. But I think the private equity people will start entering collegiate sports. And to me, I don't think that there has been a greater ambassador outside the game for the University of South Carolina GameCongs. And if that was to become privatized in any way, shape, or form,
Starting point is 00:52:32 I feel like, you know, you would need a Charlemagne the God to be on that. Am I wrong to say something like that? Am I wrong to suggest something like that? I'm not wrong. Because you were doing it for the love of the game. Yeah. You weren't doing it for any sort of financial award. And if there is an opportunity, then, like, you would think that they would want to come to the people who have held them down.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Yeah, I'll bring that up. That's a good idea. Like that gets out. We want to pay some bills, Taylor, gang? Let's pay some bills. Let's pay some bills.

Starting point is 00:57:13 October 10th in Newark, New Jersey at hold on one second. Let me pull this up. Why is Trump so sexual, bro? Let me talk about that a minute.

Starting point is 00:58:02 And this year is all about solutions. Okay, solutions. We're not talking about, we probably will still be talking about eradicating the stigma and things of that nature. But we're actually going to be talking, you know, more solutions, man, because, you know, we want to help individuals heal. So make sure you go register for that. And Little John's book, go pre-order that right now. It'll be out in October.
Starting point is 00:58:23 It's called, I only shout to you. so you can hear me. It's his memoir. Go pre-order that right now. I was saying Donald Trump is so sexual, right? Because he says things and everything comes off in a sexual way. Like when he was talking about awarding the Medal of Honor to himself and two of his sons, he said, you go, he said, now as I see my two beautiful sons sit, you got the audio?
Starting point is 00:58:47 Oh, let's hear it. It's hot. My two beautiful son sitting there. I think I'm going to give one to myself, one to them, and we'll have a three-sum. Okay. Now as I see my two beautiful sons sitting there. Oh, threesome with your sons. But he's talking about giving them the Medal of Honor.
Starting point is 00:59:05 He said a lot of other sexual stuff. This was crazy. This sounded sexual to me today, too. Trump says ceasefire what I ran over, and we're going to hit them hard again tonight. What did that sound like? Sound like the U.S. is out of the World Cup. Sound like the second nut action.
Starting point is 00:59:21 You know how when you nut, when you nut after a certain age? Let me tell you. And that dick is flaccid. And you like, yeah, yeah, it's going to get back hard in a little while. But, nah, by a little while, you mean the next night? That's nice. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:59:37 You're sex addict? The next night. Yeah, I have sex. Two nights in a row. You know what I'm saying? Seas fire. What I ran was over, so we're going to hit them hard again today. Okay?
Starting point is 00:59:45 We hit them hard again the other night. Why are we always telling people we're going to bomb them? What is this politeness in war? You don't really want to do it. No, but everybody does it. They do it. We do it. Everybody like knows the fuck.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Nobody really wants to do it. Who really wants to be? Well, that's good. Nobody really wants to be at war. If you really wanted to be at war with somebody and you really wanted to take them out, you would just hit the fucking red blood. No, don't put that out there. We don't want that.
Starting point is 01:00:12 I know I don't want that, but nobody wants that. Would you use it? Could you use the red button? Nah. What if somebody was going to do an attack on Anguilla? And the only way to stop it was if you hit them with the red button. Ooh. Would you do it?
Starting point is 01:00:28 I don't know. That is a good, that is a good question. What would make you hit the red button? What could happen in the world right now? Nothing. Nothing, right? Unless you're just sick of it. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:00:42 There is something, Chris. I got something. I could be. Nix went four more championships in a row. I could hit that button 70 times in a row. You wouldn't even be here to celebrate it. You want to be here to celebrate it. That's the beauty of it.
Starting point is 01:00:54 You want to be here. be here 50 years from now to be telling your grandkids how it felt to be here when the Knicks won that championship. Like, come on. You never been there when we won a championship. That shit feels fun. It was amazing. Boop! But you can boop! And you get to live off that. Don't wait until next year. When we went again. No, wait till the race ceremony. Wait until next year when you got to hear all year long defending NBA champions New York Knicks. World champions. World champions. Like, what are we talking about?
Starting point is 01:01:28 I got these people my DMs telling me like, oh, they're just the champions of the United States and they didn't win the world. It's like, shut up. Tell me a team in the world that could beat us. We got, we've given up. None of your little teams could beat us. America's giving out so many red cards.
Starting point is 01:01:40 There's so many foreigners in the NBA. Like, come on, it's the World Cup. But I- What if I started using red cards to the poor people? You want to know how dumb I am? You want to know how dumb I am? I'm so dumb. I really thought the red card was some new shit
Starting point is 01:01:54 that had to do with immigration. Because, I was in there. You gotta think I'm in Anguilla, right? So when I'm hearing people talk about this, I'm just like, they're like, America lost. It's Trump's fault.
Starting point is 01:02:04 And then I'm hearing something about a red card. And I'm like, yeah, what the fuck happened? Yeah. So I'm thinking that he kept somebody from playing. Yeah. But actually, it was the other way around. Yeah, he rescinded the red card.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Yeah, the red card is the opposite of a green card. I never heard of it. I thought the red card didn't stop. Well, yeah, you stop playing. If you get a red card, you stop. But that's what I mean. I thought Trump created a red card. The stop shit.
Starting point is 01:02:28 That's actually a decent idea. Deportation is red card. You get a red card. If we really want soccer to become influential in this country, we have to insert it into culture. Bro, that's how dumb I'm like, so he got a red card so he could play? Aren't you glad that he made that phone call?
Starting point is 01:02:45 I don't know. I don't know anything about this shit. When you're talking to the wrong person? I'm like, I would say this on Flagrager, but like, don't stop being a corrupt now. you know what I mean like if you're going to be corrupt corrupted I don't know calling FIFA and be like hey can you reverse the red card that's not corrupt no it is it might be abuse of power it might be an overreach of power but isn't that
Starting point is 01:03:07 corrupt isn't that what corruption is corruption is it sometimes I want to take this table and I want to fucking throw it across it's clearly not illegal if we didn't argue over what shit actually means this show would be 15 minutes please it's clearly not illegal if I can just FIFA the president say you'll let him play, then clearly there was nothing keeping them from playing other than somebody's suggestion. Investing in stocks she knows they're going to do well. That's illegal. No, that's not illegal. That's why she's able to do it. No, you're not supposed to be doing inside of training like that. I thought it was illegal. No, it's not. It's legal. Is it inside of training illegal?
Starting point is 01:03:43 Insider training is illegal. If you have, if you're privy to what maybe if you work at the company or the company's ideas, it is inside of training because you would know that the government is going to support these. Absolutely. But it's not legal according to the Constitution. according to the rules that they're governed by. It's not. No, that's why it's annoying. I didn't know that. That's you telling me something to do.
Starting point is 01:04:02 I thought it was illegal. It's not illegal because she's conducting her job and just because she hears something at her job, she benefits from it. But she's not getting information from somebody at that company. Right. Just talking about policy.
Starting point is 01:04:14 She probably is getting stuff from that company. Of course. Yeah, but in the act of doing her job. And also creating policy to benefit said company, making sure said company gets... I can't say that she's got that. I can't say she's not saying her in particular, but a lot of politicians do do that. She'll be aware of policies that would be advantageous for certain companies.
Starting point is 01:04:32 That's what, that's all the Trump administration is doing right now. No, there are. Oh, well. Conflicts. Well, Charlotte, well, welcome. Yeah, I know. But that's not the same as picking up the phone and saying, yo, I want him to play. Charleman just found out how politicians become rich.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Why wasn't he? It's adorable. Why wasn't he playing? He committed a foul in the game before, which would make him eligible to play in the next game. And we wanted him to put... Ineligible. Sorry. So then Trump just calls and be like,
Starting point is 01:04:58 yo, we need our guy. And then all of a sudden... What if he called and just said, hey, man, I think y'all should let him play? And the person said, you know what? I like this. At the suggestion of the president, we should let him play. I like this.
Starting point is 01:05:10 But it's not... It's against the rules. It's like changing the rules or just one person. Who is the referee? Who is the referee in the... Hold on, hold on. Who's the referee in the NBA finals that the NBA plays so they can strike?
Starting point is 01:05:23 out the series? Was it Joey Crawford? Who was it? I have. Okay. Who was the rep that turned the blind eye to Wimby when he created that, when he did that blatant flavor foul? You got Tony Brunston.
Starting point is 01:05:35 And they knew they couldn't call it because if they called it and he couldn't play the next game. It was clearly not the ref. Who didn't call the foul on old G when he fucking fouled Fox driving up. Stop, come. Oh, come on. You got to let the hate go. You got to let the hate go. Why?
Starting point is 01:05:51 Let it go. Can't celebrate some. somebody else's and says you probably won't have any of your own. That's facts. Like, Philly fans got to stop being haters. Haven't you won enough? One what? Didn't you win something?
Starting point is 01:06:02 A Super Bowl. I was a basketball fan. I don't give a fuck about the Super Bowl. You won a Super Bowl? But didn't you guys win some hockey shit too? Maybe. I don't know. Didn't you win some baseball shit?
Starting point is 01:06:11 I don't remember. Possibly. But can we go back to the nuclear weapon thing? Yeah. This is what can make somebody press the red button. If you're old as fuck, have some type of grave illness, right? And you're probably losing your mind in some way, shape, or form, right? Like early Alzheimer's, whatever the fuck it is.
Starting point is 01:06:29 And you're just like, fuck it. I'm so mad at the world. I'm not going to be here. So I don't have anybody else to be here either. People, that's why people like that shouldn't be leaders of the free world. I think that's a great point. I bet you, if you look at some of the leaders who have hit the nukes before. Only one.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Only one. Us. It was us? Yeah. What was it charged in? Truman. Truman. What was Truman going through?
Starting point is 01:06:56 Well, the argument you would make in Truman's case. He was living in a fucking world that he found out wasn't even a real fucking world. How so? Stupid. How so? They did a whole body on him, the Truman Show. What the fuck are we talking about? He was living in a fucking world and he realized that it was a simulation and he was like, fuck it.
Starting point is 01:07:16 None of this shit is real. You know what I'm saying? But how do we know that wasn't the case? I guarantee. Chris, come on, you're a historian. What was he going to? The story. So the given reason is Japan wouldn't surrender.
Starting point is 01:07:31 We were in this island-by-island fight across the South Pacific, which was incredibly costly in terms of casualties. A ground invasion of Japan would have cost, you know, a million American lives, you know, five million Japanese lives. They convince everybody in a kind of perverse way this actually saved lives by dropping a nuke on, two nukes, rather, on Japan. ended the war once and for all, and then all the lives that would have been lost in a lengthy, you know, ground invasion were saved. Why do you think they'd never shrug back?
Starting point is 01:08:03 Japan? Yeah. Well, they didn't have a nuclear bomb. Oh, so America was the only people that had nuclear weapons. We were. We were. And then there were these two traders. Russia, too, though, right?
Starting point is 01:08:12 Are they Russia created? After the American traders gave them the bomb secrets. Oh. Yeah. Were they American, though, Chris? Oh. What do you think? I still think it was because he was living in a simulation.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Who were there true loyalties lying? Talking about the Rosenbergs. Oh, was it like that? Come on. It was like that. I thought they were, we get here now. How did we get out? We can't.
Starting point is 01:08:41 It's like that. What's you guys talking about? It's crazy. You can say. I don't know. Why? I thought it was Russian. I thought they were like, or German scientists that we got.
Starting point is 01:08:51 You think the Russians got it from? Let's do some asking idiots. man. I didn't come here for this. That was crazy. I've never heard that one now. You started to buy us to a team, man. And I got let it buy us to.
Starting point is 01:09:04 I've never heard that one. Is that what really happened? Or were they scapegoated? Who, though? The Rosenbergs. Damn, Chris, why you get so horny when you talk about it? You sound like Trump with a medal of arms. Don't make dove coming here fucking with a red face.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Don't make dove running here with a red face. show, okay? All right? Shit. I thought it was Russian or like German scientists that we snatched up. I'm just telling you what the U.S. government told me. Oh, shit. All right? You work for the government? No, they told me, though.
Starting point is 01:09:39 How do you know? They announced it. They announced it. They put this couple, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, I believe, on trial. They were killed for giving away state secrets. Oh, stop, Chris. Let me look this up. You guys don't know about this? No!
Starting point is 01:09:52 Chris, you got the biggest stories in American history. No, they squashed it. It didn't squash it. Hold on. Who was the Julius and what? Ethel, I believe. Rosenberg. You've learned something?
Starting point is 01:10:03 Wow. A real? The Julius Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg and their American married couple convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage for passing atomic-related secrets to the Soviet Union during the early Cold War. Key facts.
Starting point is 01:10:15 They were arrested in 1950 amid intense fears of Soviet espionage. Prosecutors alleged that Julius led aspiring that supplied information related to U.S. military and atomic research to the Soviet Union. was accused of assisting the conspiracy, particularly by helping prepare espionage materials. In 1951, both were convicted in federal court, despite worldwide appeals for clemency. They were executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Correctional Facility on June 19, 19, 1953. Why the case remains controversial?
Starting point is 01:10:44 Rosenberg case remains one of the most debated episodes of the Cold War because historians disagree about the extent of Ethel Rosenberg's involvement, evidence released after the Cold War, including Soviet intelligence records, and the decryptive. Venona Project messages strongly indicates that Julius Rosenberg was involved in espionage for the Soviet Union. However, many historians believe Ethel's role was far more limited than prosecutors claimed at trial. So they were looking for blame. Mm-hmm. Hmm. The Rosenberg were the first American civilians executed for espionage-related crimes during peacetime.
Starting point is 01:11:19 You learn something new every fucking day on the brilliant idiots, man. I mean, you got to murk them. It sounds like they got blackmail. Not blackmailed. What's the word? Scapecoded. What's the other word, though? Set up.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Frame, set up. Yeah. That's what it sounds like to me. Come in. Like, why would those two? Huh? Those two had all the secrets. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Like, wasn't for those two, we'd be the only country in the world with nuclear bombs. Do we really believe that? Because that's the story we were sold at the time. America's a wild country, bro. Let's do some asking this man. Because show's got to do a phone call, and Chris just bought the mood down.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Blame. Wait, please. Can I show you? Chris just brought the mood down, blaming, you know, Jewish people for everything again. Oh, look, for his culture. Look how fast.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Didn't he just do that? You don't think he just did that? I think he did, man. That was crazy. It's just disgusting. I always felt a connection with the Rosenberg. But you didn't say that these people were framed, essentially.

Starting point is 01:16:42 If you don't know, Chris Moreau is a world-renowned author. He has written all three of my books. Well, co-write my books with me because I absolutely do write. Don't I write, Chris? Yes. Tell the truth. Am I one of the easiest people for you to work with? Be honest.
Starting point is 01:16:57 No. I've worked with people who don't write anything. and Charlemagne writes the entire. I wouldn't call myself a co-writer on those. I would call myself more of a... Guider. Editor. Yeah, I always tell people,
Starting point is 01:17:09 Chris helps me make my books bookie. So, like, I can write. Like, I can say, this is what I want this chapter to be. Write the whole chapter, the stories, the principles, the purpose and all that. But then Chris turns it into a book.
Starting point is 01:17:22 Chris was, like, Chris was Chad GPT before there was a chat GPT. So he's structure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I even have the receipts right here. I won't show it to the camera, but I could pull up many of the... All right. All three of my books, Black Privilege, shook one.

Starting point is 01:17:56 Just admit when you're wrong, bro. It's better. It's okay. been wrong a lot of times, but this is not one of them. I spoke to Donald Trump over the phone because I helped him write the intro for Russell Simmons book, Do You? And then Donald Trump did the intro for Russell's book? He did. Why don't remember that? Not read Do You? Intro by intro by a- Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Just say it. Just say, right.
Starting point is 01:18:29 Shut me. Oh, fuck up. Okay. All right. I just implicate somebody. I don't know. I don't think Russell's on that bird, man. I don't think he was invited.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Nah, no, no, no. When do you go write your own book, Chris? I don't know, man. I'm afraid. One day I'll try to do it. What would it be about you think? The only thing I've thought about, well, I have an idea that's kind of like writing. It's actually tied into this show.
Starting point is 01:18:55 We can talk about it later. It'd be more of a scripted podcast. I've thought about putting together some short stories about, you know, my life growing up that I've told in settings that people seem to like. But that's as far as I've ever gotten. No, it is. He was on Run's house. I didn't even know that. He was in the tub.
Starting point is 01:19:13 He's being in the tub. Who the fuck you think was writing Run's fucking positive notes at the end of the episode? Yes. He was in the fuck. I was not writing Reverend Run's inspirational tweets. You wrote that book, too. you wrote Reverend and Tyrese's book. I did.
Starting point is 01:19:29 Oh, yeah. Chris ain't no joke, y'all. You play around with Chris if you want to. What else we got to? I just got some inspiration for a new book, too, Chris. Okay, cool. I'm going to send you the one sheet. I actually did the one sheet yesterday.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Dylan J. Alexander says, Andrew, please don't grow a mustache again. You look like a gaywa Luigi. What the fuck? Who's Wai Luigi? While Luigi is like the bad Luigi. Oh, oh, Mario. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:54 You are giving, like, Like a 18-year-old hipster. I want you all to know that nobody really know what gay looked like. Saved by the belt. What do you say? Nobody knows what gay looks like, you know. People always think they know what gay looks like. You don't think we got to find another word.
Starting point is 01:20:17 Like, like, I know what it sounds like. You see what I'm saying? Like he, like, when he said you said, you're like a gay Wau-Luigi. There's another word because we don't know what gay looks like. Wait, hold on, you've never seen those videos of this guy going up to, like, strangers saying, like, hey, this guy looks gay. You think people would think you're gay or straight? Yeah. That's just funny.
Starting point is 01:20:35 And they always think anybody's in a picture is gay. If it's one thing this industry has showed me, nobody knows who's really gay. Ooh. There's some motherfuckers out there who are always projecting. And I know they don't got their dick suck from the back, okay? By some man with a wig on. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:20:56 I'm just saying. Like, that can only be the only, like, explanation for- You're saying they're hiding in plain sight. Yes. Like, why? That can be the only explanation as to why people are constantly pointing the finger at other people that they think are gay, like, you're gay, you're gay, you're gay. Don't we say real, recognize it's real?
Starting point is 01:21:19 Hmm. So wouldn't gay recognize gay? Oh, projected. You see what I'm saying? Wow. You think everybody's saying. secretly gay because Oh!
Starting point is 01:21:31 Just saying. I already told you my dad always said if a guy is like showing too much hatred towards homosexuals, that's not how you say it. Yeah. Like that guy, homosexuals, then they're most likely... Not even just hatred, acting like it's a problem, like weaponizing it.
Starting point is 01:21:47 Like, oh, you know, he's got to be gay, damn gay. So what does it mean if you say lots of gay shit? Not gay. Not gay. Because you're so comfortable in your masculinity. Oh, good. Yeah. That's what I've been trying to teach y'all.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Try to teach y'all how to not be again. I believe that. Are you going to grow the mustache back? I don't know. I don't think you should, bro. I don't think you should. I might stay clean for a little bit. Like, you look almost innocent.
Starting point is 01:22:11 You look younger. Like, everything about the mustache, I get what people were saying now. No, I'm serious. Everything about the mustache made it look more sinister, bro. That's not my fault. I can't grow hair on my cheeks. I only grow it here.
Starting point is 01:22:29 What did you guys go? No, I grow hair on those cheeks. That's the only cheeks I grow hair on of those. Discord taps, underscores says, if your nut could what? Prevent you from any illness. You from any illness, would you drink it? Absolutely. Yeah, of course.

Starting point is 01:22:56 You've probably tasted every other. How have we technically done it? Bodily food you produce. If your wife is giving y'all, you know, and y'all kiss afterward, kind of taste it a little bit. Yeah, but there's like a break. Yeah, but that is it still. You would never let her do it.
Starting point is 01:23:17 What type of savage are you? What's the fucking is that? What are you doing? What are you talking about? You know what I'm saying? If you nut right in your wife's mouth, then she tried to kiss you immediately after that. Like, yo, that's disrespect. You're trying to disrespect.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Crazy. That's fucking. You're going to, you disrespecting me now. Once it's out of you, it's gross. You know what I mean? Like, when you get this shit off? Yeah, get out of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:39 Why would you allow that to be on you? You're weird. By the way, men have probably tasted every bodily fluid we have. Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why not? You've sadly, you've probably swallowed some mucus down your throat. You just swallowed his fart.
Starting point is 01:23:55 Yeah. He just farted. Who farted? That's not a bodily fluid, though. Yeah, but what about pee? I'm just saying it's a little pee. When'd you taste pee? You've tasted a little pee.
Starting point is 01:24:04 I didn't fart, tell you. Shut up. What's going on with you? You've tasted a little. You never tasted a little pee? No, the guys who drink you or no, they think it's actually very good for you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:14 So, imagine what nut can do? Yeah. Y'all worry about G1P. What's that shit called? GLP. GLP1. Y'all should be taking that fucking NLP1. Okay, nut lick penis.
Starting point is 01:24:25 nut lick penis one tastes so good what else we got hood underscore avenger if the world ends tomorrow would you be satisfied what's wrong with you guys sometimes it's just so stupid it's funny
Starting point is 01:24:39 if the world is tomorrow would you be satisfied with how you lived your life hell yeah easily easy call what are you talking about one on every level I don't mean that's nothing else to say let me see
Starting point is 01:24:55 what else we got here. What's the funniest thing rumor someone said about you? Sean DeMachala, what was the funniest thing rumor someone said about you this week? Sean, let me tell you something. You know me. Whoever knows, whoever sent
Starting point is 01:25:11 that knows me. I laughed out loud at some of this shit. But I'm not going to tell you which one it was. I might tell you after a, me and Academics sitting down.
Starting point is 01:25:26 There's everything set up for that, right? By the time y'all here, there's me and academics would have already sat down. I might tell you all after that. But no, there was one that made me laugh out loud. Because it was so funny. Duval texted me the day. Duval said, this was literally the day.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Duval said, he said, man, these niggas got you sounding like an evil mastermind. I am missing all. What else we got, Hale, game? That's it? Let me give me, let's in on one more. What else we died? Ooh.
Starting point is 01:26:04 What's your last? What you think? Show's one in on that one? I really understand. One single thing from affordability that American needs that can solve number one proud. What? All right. What does that even mean?
Starting point is 01:26:17 Give me one more. That's a little heady. Would you forget one of the happiest? Ooh, this is a good one. Would you forget, Lucky U. Central says, Would you forget one of the happiest times of your life to never forget anything else again? Nah.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Nah. Nah. No. Because every, when you say the happiest, no. Also, I say that now, you get fucking dementia, you're going to be more, you're going to forget all that shit anyway. How do you know you even got dementia? You eventually know.
Starting point is 01:26:54 Do you know? Yeah. My dad knows. Oh, he knows he got it? Yeah. How is that? Explain that. I didn't know. Tell them and they disbelieve you?
Starting point is 01:27:01 No, it's more just like, like he doesn't know it when he's repeating stuff, but he does know that there's something up, and he's like, ah, you know, you get old. You know, body starts your fall apart. Oh, got you. He has a very good attitude about some people have very, like, angry, negative attitude.
Starting point is 01:27:16 They get, like, very embarrassed and flustered. And, like, he's kind of got a very, like, almost like, Buddhist accepting. God, God bless. He's been diagnosed with dementia? Alzheimer's, yeah. Alzheimer's. See, I have done an amyloid plaque,
Starting point is 01:27:27 Alzheimer's a very peculiar form of it because Alzheimer's usually constituted by an amyloid plaque buildup in the brain. So his is like, they don't, they're like, what the fuck is this? I would love to have a conversation with a doctor who knows a lot about this because I always wonder about that. Do people with Alzheimer's the dementia know they have Alzheimer's Dementia? Not everyone. What's that actor's name? Bruce Willis. Yeah, you think, so he knows he. Some don't. Maybe some do. Like, you know. I think you know as it's developing, I think once it really hits, you don't. But I'm here, do you, there's also different iterations.
Starting point is 01:27:59 He's still in the city? Yep. Do you think that's easier in some way? It's easier to be in environments that you're familiar with because they're part of long-term memory. Got it. So usually with my dad, what gets attacked is short-term memory. So it's harder for him to, like, stay invest in a conversation or watch a story or a movie or these types of things. Long-term, he remembers the things, because long-term and short-term memory are, like, different components in the brain.
Starting point is 01:28:23 So what turns something from short-term long-term is just repetition. right so it's like knowing your neighborhood this is long form if you took him to a brand new neighborhood he'd never been before all of a sudden that map doesn't really exist in his brain and it would take so much repetition at this stage in order to bake it in and it might not get baked in it at all so that becomes more standards does he drive no no no that would be like a pro of living in new york because i know for a lot of people that's one of the biggest issues right off of the bad is just driving people are used to being independent of driving and getting around of What if people, like when you get to mention the Alzheimer's,
Starting point is 01:29:01 there's a certain, like, look people have, right? Like, they're quiet, they're reserved, they're to themselves. What if they're like that because they're not aware of all of the noise anymore, and all they remember is the happiest times of their life? I mean, you would hope that's the case. Because that would keep you at such peace, right? Yeah. That would keep you so serene.
Starting point is 01:29:21 Right? I mean, the coolest thing my mom ever did from my dad, I don't even know if she realizes it, but like she had an 80th birthday for him that we threw here. And he was with like all these people that he's known forever, right? Like since he was young, since he had a memory. So like for one night, he was existing in long term memory. So for like one night he kind of had his memory back.
Starting point is 01:29:45 Wow. And he like had confidence, you know, he was just talking to people. He remembered kind of who they were. Like he was just this amazingly charismatic, awesome guy. long-form conversations might fall apart, but, like, in the moment, he's seeing all these people. He was in his own.
Starting point is 01:30:01 Yeah, it was like this beautiful thing. Yeah. Amazing, man. That's why you wouldn't take that offer? That sounds like a good offer. Yeah, of course. You just have to trade up one of your happiest memories, but then you know for certain you'll never forget something again.
Starting point is 01:30:15 I'll take that offer. I don't know, bro. Because at the end of the day, to this conversation that we're having, all we have is our memories at the end of the day. But you also don't know the happiest, moments for the happiest memories when they're happening. Like last night,
Starting point is 01:30:28 it's true. My daughter somehow got my phone and we all sat down and she like, we basically watched videos tape. My kids were, let's say, five to seven, you know, like 15 videos. And it was one of the best experiences in my life. All four of us sitting there just watching these moments together. It was incredible. But any one of those, if you had said to me,
Starting point is 01:30:49 are these amazing moments? No, there's just record. recording regular shit, you know, over the course of their lives, them fighting over this, them dancing to a song, them going out to dinner with their grandparents, whatever. They were great moments, but I wouldn't have said, this is it. But when you saw them compiled, that's how I feel when you look at pictures and shit like that, like I, I'm saying, man, I love all of my happiest time, right? Like, even, and that's why when you live in the moment and you know that you're making
Starting point is 01:31:18 memories that these, your kids and your family's going to remember forever, like, that's the best in the world. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I just came back from Anguilla for 10 days again. And when they're 30, they're going to watch those videos. Come on. Come on. Come on, man.
Starting point is 01:31:34 That shit is priceless. It's priceless. All right, guys, we'll be back next week, man. Yes, sir.
