It offers many great things like super reliable, super fast nationwide network and four lines for $100 a month with unlimited gigs for data, talk, and text. I will repeat that because that's insane. Four lines for $100 a month with unlimited gigs for data, talk, and texts.

You know, it's four free LG stylo five phones that the whole family can get as well. with it, Boost Mobile, the switch that gives you more offers and coverage is not available everywhere.

Oh, Moscow next week. Hey. If you're listening to this in Moscow, go get it. Australia, a couple weeks after that. Hey. Sydney shows, I think, are sold out, so we're adding more of those. I think we added another
Starting point is 00:02:28 Melbourne show as well. DeAndruschols.com. We're doing Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and I think another city is Adelaide, DeAndresoldecom, get those tickets. I think the New York City show November is almost sold out. Same for Boston, man. So go get those tickets. Immediately.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Theadryshows.com. All the Madador tour dates, that's it. And the paperback for my second national bestseller, shook one anxiety playing tricks on me. It'll be out Tuesday, September 3rd, and also on September 3rd, I'll be at the Barnes and Nobles on 5th Avenue with Rick Ross, because Rick Ross's book comes out on September 3rd. His book is called Hurricanes.
Starting point is 00:03:08 So we'll be having a conversation about both of our books. So Barnes & Noble's, oh, no, actually, it's not the one in Fifth Avenue. Barnes & Noble's Union Square. Ooh! Yeah, 33E7th Street at 7 p.m. I'll be there with Rick Ross, and I'll be signing copies of my new book, Shook One, Anxiety, Playing Tricks on Me, and Rick Ross will be signing copies to his book, Hurricanes.
Starting point is 00:03:27 And then on September 5th, I'll be at the Powerhouse Arena in Brooklyn at 7 p.m. with Dr. Jessica Clemens having a discussion about my favorite subject, mental health, and also signing copies of my book, Shook One, Anxiety, Playing Tricks on Me. The paperback will be out September 3rd. That's a beautiful thing. Now, where do we start, man? Do you want to start with this special that I told you about when I saw it on Broadway, and I told you it was phenomenal?
Starting point is 00:03:54 And I said, it's probably his best work. never been big on his stand-up. Yeah. I just haven't. Yeah, yeah. Not that I don't think he's funny because I thought his sketch show was hilarious. Yeah. Killing me softly was cool.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Yeah. But I never was like, ha ha, Dave Chappelle. Right. This one? This one is one of them ones, bro. Yeah. I mean, he's the goat. Chappelle is the goat.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I don't see why you would say he's not. He's the goat. It's, it is undeniable. I haven't seen the whole thing. Okay. What I have seen of it is exceptional. but he's always exceptional. And it's just a really cool thing to see happen culturally
Starting point is 00:04:33 because, you know, maybe like six months ago, right before we dropped views from the cis, my last one, I think on this podcast, I said, if this is successful, it's going to open up the doors for the goats, the greats, the biggest comics in the world, to get back to be an edgy again and to tell these jokes
Starting point is 00:04:58 because everybody was kind of like running scared. Now, I'm not saying that in any way Chappelle's watching views and this isn't going, oh, I can do this now. But what it did is it starts the ripple effect. And like, I think everybody plays a role on their level in the ecosystem. You know, I think about like with mental health for you,
Starting point is 00:05:17 you're not the first guy to talk about mental health, but you have a powerful potent voice. So it's like, when you speak about something, it echoes, right? And other people pay attention. There is somebody who told you about mental health. Absolutely. Right?
Starting point is 00:05:33 Absolutely. That guy has been speaking about mental health. Forever. Forever. Right? But you start speaking about it and then it becomes this national movement of awareness for, especially in the black community, right? And timing matters too.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Timing, timing size. Timing is really everything. All these things matter. And I just thought it was so cool to see one of the goats up there laying it on the line, not worrying, not worrying about, you know, what could happen. I mean, taking a very different approach than he did in past specials where he thought he was a little apologetic about certain topics. And like, I felt he was like very accommodating, you know, to what people might feel. And this one just going, no, I'm fucking great. I'm going to go for it.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And like, that's what I wanted to happen from views. I want to bring comedy back. If you got fuck you money, why do you care? That's my thing. I always see like that with artists, with musicians. Like, if you already got all the money, why don't you just make the fucking music you want? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Why are you trying to cater to an audience? Why are you trying to make people like you? Just do your best art. And I promise you everything else will fall in the place. That's it. That's it. So that's what I'll say to like a lot of people between me. Like, yo, they're giving all,
Starting point is 00:06:48 Dave, all the credit for going against PC culture going against, you know, cancel culture, you've been doing that for a while, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, yeah, but like, that's part of the system. It's not like somebody does it first or somebody probably did it before me, and I had a louder voice than them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I was able to reach some people.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And then he was able to reach some people. You're just playing your part in the ecosystem. And one day I'm going to be on Chappelle's level where I'm going to be able to voice thing that's going to have that much of effect. But it's like, it's just so cool. If you believe that we're all connected on some kind of matrix, it's cool to see something I think I really leaned hard into reach the highest level.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Even if I played a little part of it, get in there. And I think it's different, though. It's different because it's the mystique of Dave Chappelle, right? We've seen Dave Chappelle walk away from $50 million before. Yeah. So this narrative right here feeds into the rebellion of Dave. I remember Dave Chappelle's a rebel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:46 You can't tell Dave Chappelle what to do. Dave Chappelle's going to do whatever the fuck he wants to do. You know what I'm saying? That's how Dave Chappelle chooses to stay. sane. Yeah. And with you, it's like still the underdog in a lot of ways who don't have shit to lose. So you might as well swing for the fucking fences.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I also don't have fuck you money. You don't have fuck you money. There's a different level of risk. Absolutely. I'm putting it on the table and it's all. Dave has done it. Dave has had the TV shows. He's done the movies.
Starting point is 00:08:13 So he's like, look, I did all that already. This is what the fuck I want to do now. You may still want to do some of those things. You know what I'm saying? But either way, you're going to be able to do them on your terms. Right. Because, like, nobody really gives this shit. And I think that's the one thing that Dave is really exposing.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I think it's another reason, too. A lot of this shit that Dave is talking about is coming from a personal place. Right. He's like, I'm here to defend my fucking friends that got caught up in this bullshit. He's had personal things happen to him because he's received back. So it's all coming from a personal place. Yeah, yeah. You understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:43 So being that it's coming from a personal place, people accept it just a little bit more. It's like, okay, this guy's not trying to be a rebel for the sake of being a rebel. He's not saying fuck peace. for the sake of saying fuck p p p c coach he's like i've been gotten thrown out of here my friends are thrown out of here and it affects me personally in that way yes absolutely um yeah i think i think it's great i think it's great to see you know what i mean it's uh you know it there's always a bummer because like when dave shappelle does a joke that you have a similar joke to there's so much gravity around dave you just got to kill the joke i don't believe that duval said the same thing to me earlier
Starting point is 00:09:16 duval's like man and duval don't and duval don't give it up for nothing yeah but for dave is different. Like, for Dave, and I have a joke that I think it's more developed. I think it's a better joke, to be honest. Let it rip in. Nah, I got to, I got to take it out. I got to take it out. Hezzy. I got to take it out. It don't matter if another player got the same move. All right, you might have perfected it a little bit better. Well, yeah, but at the same time, we have this code where, you know, in comedy, it's like, an independent or like a unique idea is so valuable because that's our only currency that you got to just go, all right, bro, you got that one. But if you know you didn't steal it. Now, if you didn't get this idea until after you heard Dave do it,
Starting point is 00:09:54 then I would be like, I get it, exactly. But if you had the idea before he did it and you had to- I've been touring. I mean, people who listen to this right now, you've seen me do it on tour, right? It's the MJ joke. You've seen me do it on tour for a long, long time. And it's just, it's one of those things where it's like, we have a couple similar ideas. I have a whole other section of the bit, which is the thing I really like, and I think it leads to that he doesn't touch upon at all. But we have a couple similar ideas and it's like, I have too much respect for comedy and a guy like Dave to where I would want to, I would want to continue to do that. I might want to release, I don't know, maybe not, probably not, but I might on some level want to release
Starting point is 00:10:31 a joke to like teach people, hey, Dave Chappelle has never seen me do this joke. I've never seen Dave Chappelle do that joke. But we both came out with a similar idea. And like, this happens sometimes. Like, don't get freaked out when you see two people say something similar because people have similar ideas. Like, you go on Twitter, you're going to see a clever tweet about something. I mean, look, even the Jesse Smolett joke that he did. Hilarious. I said that on his podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:56 The day it happened. What? The joke about, like, why would a person who's racist and homophobic watch Empire? I did a question of the day about that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he got the whole, he had the whole, his joke was Jesse Jusei Smolet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A French actor who got assaulted.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Right. You know what I'm saying? I guess what I'm saying is like a bunch of people had come up with that take. And I think what we should do when that happens is go, oh shit, we're having parallel thinking with one of the greatest. Yeah, but if you have a problem with that, if you have one thought, like he had one thought, but he built out this whole other world for that one thought. So even if you have the same thought, but you build a whole other world out for it, why not? Why not let it the fuck rip? The MJ joke was the only joke that I saw, and by the way, I died laughing when he said that.
Starting point is 00:11:45 but there was no like socially redeeming value to that joke yeah that was with some niggie shit like like what the fuck you got molesting when you was a kid the only thing you got to show for
Starting point is 00:11:57 it is uncomfortable things giving Dennis you know what I'm saying like at least you got to say you got your dick suck by the king of pop no yeah that wouldn't do it for me like no I don't know if fuck
Starting point is 00:12:07 it's the king of pop but you laugh at it right but that was the only thing that didn't have anything deeper to it right to me yeah
Starting point is 00:12:14 you know what I'm saying Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even the transgender joke had a deeper meaning to it. One of them, a lot of them did. Right. The one in particular when he was like, the transgender looked at him and said, I don't want to give away his jokes. You got to watch it.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Yeah, go watch it. We support this. But if this one when the, I'm going to definitely say this one because I'm not going to take this out of context. But the transgender, when the transgender said to Dave, you know, when you make jokes about Akelly, they say you're normalizing Rkelly. When you make jokes about us, how come they never say you're normalizing transgender? That's a bar. That's a bar
Starting point is 00:12:45 You got it makes you think Hot It's a man I personally think this is Dave's best stand-up special Really? But I've never been a huge Dave Shepel stand-up person Right
Starting point is 00:12:56 I enjoy Dave Killing Me Softly is a good special Yeah You know what I'm saying? Yeah yeah The other joints he did on Netflix They were cool Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:03 This one was hilarious Yeah Like Everybody go out and watch it man Go support It was great And you know what The joke he's
Starting point is 00:13:11 It wasn't even a joke The observation he did when he, that's on that's on Instagram so we could talk about that, but when he talked about, he was doing the impersonation of people who I didn't like that. What time you go?
Starting point is 00:13:25 So he opens. You can play the clip, play the clip Taylor. The next one's a little harder. I want to see if you can guess who it is I'm doing an impression of. All right, let me get into character. You got to guess who it is though. Okay, here it goes.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Duh. Hey, der. If you do anything wrong in your life, duh, and I find you, out about it, I'm going to try to take everything away from you. And I don't care what I find out. Could be today, tomorrow, 15, 20 years from now, if I find
Starting point is 00:13:51 out you're fucking doof finished. Who's that? That's you. That's what the audience sounds like to me. That's why I don't be coming out doing comedy all the time because y'all niggas is the worst
Starting point is 00:14:13 motherfuckers I've ever tried to entertain in my fucking life. You perform to sold out arenas every single weekend. There's no way you could believe that. You have sold out crowds every weekend, loving everything that you're doing around the world. Nobody's trying to cancel you.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Nobody's triggered. Nobody's nothing. You can't truly believe that, right? You might be speaking about 10 people on Twitter, but, like, I'm a comic, right? I perform sold out theaters around the world. I don't have these people. And if somebody does get triggered,
Starting point is 00:14:49 the audience turns on them if they go you can't say that my audience will start consuming them that's piranus But it's the same reason when you can see 10 people tell you that they love you on social media But once they fuck you And you pay attention to pay attention to it
Starting point is 00:15:02 So my feeling is like you're too smart to To like put a spotlight on that Like It's hard not too though No but there's a different way that you could do it Right I get that you want to address cancel culture And I get that you want to do that right Like
Starting point is 00:15:15 But even when I put out views The point wasn't about the audience The point was about comics. I was like, yo, comics, stop being pussies. This is what we do. We do comedy. Go out there and do comedy. The audience is up to you to get the audience to laugh and make them feel comfortable.
Starting point is 00:15:27 It's not up to you to tell the audience how to laugh. It's up to you to make them. But calling them out is part of not being pussy, though. I would think. Nah, because the best, in my opinion, the best thing is showing, not telling. Yeah, but calling them dumb and letting them know their pussy. And that way, I love Pete Davidson. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:15:46 And Pete did it this weekend, too, but it wasn't in a choke form. So it backfile on you. But when you do it in a joke form the way Dave did, because if you notice, everybody in the audience started yelling out Trump, which is another ill part
Starting point is 00:15:58 of nuance to me. Like, Trump ain't responsible for everything, motherfucker. Right? But everybody was like, Trump, Trump, and he was like, no, that's you. And by the way, he did that on the special.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I don't know where he shot the special at. When he did it in New York, New York crowd was the same way. Yeah. He did that same joke in New York. And everybody in that theater was like, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. He's like, no, that's you.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I thought that's a great way. to put the mirror back on people, man. I love that. I love that, and I love the mirror. I just think the most effective mirror is when you show it instead of tell. Right? Like, when you expose it.
Starting point is 00:16:30 That's just me. I thought he did with the setup, though. Yeah, maybe. The setup of breaking it down and saying, this person and that person, and everybody yelling out, hey, Trump, Trump, they didn't see that curve coming.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Right, no, motherfucker, it's you. Right. You're basically saying, hey, you criticize Trump about this, but you're actually doing the same thing. Yeah, you're doing the same exact shit. We saw it this week with Janelle Monet. Janelle Monet apologized.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I couldn't believe. The social media simply because she had a suggestion. She said, look, how about somebody registered people to vote at Popeye's with these long lines? Yeah. Now, I don't know if you guys pay attention, but from now until October of next year, everywhere you go where there's a crowd, it's going to be somebody. there registering people to vote. I don't give a fuck if it's the mall.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I don't care if it's a concert. I don't give a fuck if it's a fucking open affair. Any place you go to me, people registering people to vote. So for her to say that, for anybody who's really about that, registering people to vote life, that's basic. That's not even a bright idea.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Right. That's just like, hey, it's a lot of people that pop by. I should go register people to vote. It was a kid in Charlotte, North Carolina. His name was David Ledbetter. I think his name was. Okay. Teenager.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Yeah. That's what he was doing this weekend. Yeah. Before Janelle Monet said that, he was at Popeyes registering people to vote. Right. So I'm seeing people killing Janelle Monet. They're like,
Starting point is 00:18:00 you're not taking into consideration voter suppression. You know, what makes you think that all black people aren't registered the vote? First of all, she ain't say shit about black people. She just said register to vote. We don't know who's in line at Popeyes. Yeah. Okay?
Starting point is 00:18:14 We don't know who the fuck is eating these chicken sandwiches, right? We could guess. Maybe. I don't think you make $60-something million. I thought mad white people in line. I'm not going to lie. We were in Chicago, and we went to one Popeye's in the black neighborhood, and them chicken sandwiches were gone, bro.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Done. We went to a Popeyes in a mall in a white neighborhood. They were there. They might not be there now. When did you go? Because they completely sold out everywhere now. Oh, wow. Well, when we went up there, it was good.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It was Friday. We went there Friday. Yeah, they completely saw. They had, Pop-Bai put out a press release. Wild cultural experience. Talk to me. We were in Chicago, right? You know, I do all the vlogs and everything.
Starting point is 00:18:55 So I'm with Alex and Mark. And we pull up to the mall, and there's a SWAT team in front of the mall. They got their guns out and everything. And I roll up on the SWAT team with my camera and I go, y'all protecting the Popeyes, right? They're like, can we help you? Is there a problem? I'm like, no, no, there's a chicken sandwich that sold out everywhere.
Starting point is 00:19:15 And that's it. Like, I got pussy real quick. I was like, now everything's okay, blah, blah, blah. Alex started walking away. I was like, fuck that out. I ain't getting arrested again.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Right? So we go down, we go start eating the Popeye sandwiches. We start eating the Popeye sandwiches. You got it? Yeah, we went down there. We got the Popeye sandwich. It's delicious.
Starting point is 00:19:33 We go down, we take two bites out of Popeye sandwich. All of a sudden, one of the SWAT guys walks up, comes into the mall downstairs so the Popat comes up. He goes, hey, man, I'm sorry about that. We were just overreact.
Starting point is 00:19:47 a little bit and, you know, we didn't know that you were just kind of joking around. We found out about the whole Pop-I's thing. So, uh, enjoy the chicken sandwiches. Alex is looking at me like, is this what it's like to be white? How many didn't know what was you? The fucking SWAT team. They might have been apologizing. They might have been like, oh, that's an Andrews show.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I think one of them might know some show like that. But just look at Alex's eyes as he's eating this chicken sandwich, like slowly looking up. It's like a Japanese dude. Is it really this good? No, it's really that good, man. Better than Chick-fil-A? Yeah, it's better. It's better.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Really? Yeah. And you don't like Chick-fil-A? No, I'm not anti-chik filet. I think Chick-Fillet is just a chicken sandwich. You don't like you, and you're not a hype beast either. You're actually a contrarian. I should hate it by my nature.
Starting point is 00:20:32 It was so fucking good. Really? It was so fucking good that I'm positive. I'm positive that it will kill you. Meaning, like, they have put so much unhealthy into that sandwich. did it will kill you. There's no way that they'll sell that regularly because it would cause serious bodily harm. High cholesterol, arteries claws.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Son, you bite the pickle is not one of these flimsy like McDonald's or Chick-fil-A little, like, tiny potato chip thin pickle. It's a, it got girthes. It got girthes. Not in my experience. Not like this. Not like Popeyes. Yeah. It didn't have it like Popeyes.
Starting point is 00:21:15 I mean, this is, this is, this is. This is like, you know what's going on, right? No, what's going on? Like, they just need to distract us, right? It's like... Disract us from what? The Epstein shit, like... Man, shut the fuck up, man.
Starting point is 00:21:31 You don't... Like, we were on their ass. We were on the billionaire's ass about Epstein, like, there's pedophile rings. What if these are just made out of Epstein's flesh? They are, son! That's what they do! What if they grinded up? That's the ingredient!
Starting point is 00:21:45 They grinded Epstein up. And the reason this is... so tender. It's because you are what you eat. Never needs to eat young girls. You don't realize what they... Listen, who runs social media? Let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Black Twitter. Black people run social media. But they didn't give a fuck about that scene. No, but they were starting to give a fuck. And the second they started to give a fuck, these billionaire motherfuckers was like, quick, get a chicken sandwich out there. Nah.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Get that chicken sandwich out there on these streets. I'm not going to lie, that shit did come out of nowhere because I remember coming in here one day. The Amazon is on fire. They're like, quick, get a chicken sandwich. I'm serious. That's all they do. If there is some natural disaster
Starting point is 00:22:17 is get a chicken sandwich. Listen, I came in here one day, and all the interns were talking about this chicken sandwich from Popeye, and I'm like, I'm about to get one of these shit. So I text my wife, I said, yo, I actually called her. I said, yo, Popeye's got this chicken sandwich, and she was like, don't even fucking think about it.
Starting point is 00:22:33 You're on diet. You mind your fucking business. Black men cheat when it comes to chicken. No, I didn't. I really didn't. I was faithful. Black men chicken. That's a real.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Is that good for real? Bro? Let me tell. Can you trust me about some hype beast shit? If I'm hypebeasing, it must be real. There's only one person in there who said it was average and that's Taylor. Nobody trusts Taylor opinion. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:56 You don't know nothing. It's like that. Like, their chicken's too great. It made my stomach around. It's okay. Yo, it's okay. We don't need none of you right here. Okay? Let me tell you, this is a delicious chicken sandwich.
Starting point is 00:23:07 It's the best fast food chicken sandwich I've ever had. Wow. That's hands down. And I'm not even a fast food guy. I don't even eat bread. I'll take your word for it. Un- fucking real. Wow.

Starting point is 00:23:39 We'll look at that in a second I appreciate that A saying? What's the same? I don't know It's a meme or something like that She sent us It's a chicken sarin's comparison
Starting point is 00:23:47 We'll get there. We got here. We got this. But thank you. We do this every week. But no. With Janelle Monet, they got mad at Janelle because she told people to register the vote and it reminds me of what Chappelle was saying because I'm like... Yo, slide to your right. I'm like, no of these things have anything to do with it. Number one, if you're mad that if you're talking about voter suppression, voter registration has nothing to do with voter suppression. Yeah, that's how you stop voter suppression is by registering. By the way, voter suppression doesn't affect you if you're not registered to vote because you can't vote.
Starting point is 00:24:17 stupid motherfuckers. And if you are registered to vote, but you decide to sit on your motherfucking hands and not go out there and vote, guess what? Voter suppression doesn't affect you then. So that throws that stupid-ass theory
Starting point is 00:24:26 out the window. Then you had people saying, oh, black people have been involved in all the elections lately and black women's specifically voted for Hillary in 2016. Very true. But do you also know that
Starting point is 00:24:37 in 2016, the black voter turnout was the lowest has ever been in 20 years? And this is after having a record high in 2012. Do you want to know why? Because black people didn't go out and vote.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Do you want to know why that was? Because they didn't have nobody on the ballot they wanted to vote for. No. It's because a week before the elections, they dropped those Hennessy Buffalo Wings. They shut the fuck up. Charlemagne, this is a fact. This is fact. You didn't notice a week before Hennessy Buffalo Wings came out.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Black people rebelled against Hillary Clinton and they didn't give a fuck. That's all it really was. No, black people were tired. They ate all the Hennessy Buffalo wings. And they need to take maps, bro. Say what? Who sells Hennessy Buffalo Wings? BBQ's.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Oh. Say what? BBQ's only in New York, right? There was a lot traveling. Listen. People's traveling for them, Tennessee Buffalo wings. 2016, black voter turnout decreased significantly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:34 White voter turnout increased significantly. Here you go. You want to increase black voter turnout. Put the boot, the voting boots in Popeyes. I feel like that is the best way if you want to get almost 100% vote. Right? You put the ballots inside Popeyes. I mean, you do got to give people something they want. So it's like...
Starting point is 00:25:53 Chicken sandwich after you vote. No matter who you vote for, you get chicken sandwich. But that's what Trump did in 2016. He gave the people racism. He was like, you know what? I know what you white people like. Y'all like racism. Y'all like bigotry.
Starting point is 00:26:03 White people came out in record numbers and voted for them. You're not wrong. You got to give people something they want. That's it. Trump, Obama gave people something they want. Hope. Change you can believe in. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:15 That's what it was. That's why you had a record turnouts. 2008, 2012. Is racism our chicken sandwich? Yes. It's a goddamn movie. If it's that good, I got to try it out, man. That Popeye's chicken sandwich was fucking delicious.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Absolutely. I need to try out some racism, man. Trump tapped into America's real appetite. Let's be for real. America's real appetite is racism in bigotry. That's what the country was built on. And you know the great thing about racism? Obama tapped into what people might have a tant.
Starting point is 00:26:47 taste for. Might have a taste for some change. Might have a taste for some real justice. Might have a taste for some real equality. Might have a taste for some real freedom. That was a taste. But yeah, that's just appetizing.
Starting point is 00:26:58 That's an appetite. What the, Andre is? You want to satiate me? Here you go. Give me some racism, bro. There you go.
Starting point is 00:27:03 And that's what, racism, sexism, that's America's appetite. Even homophobia, even homophobia. That's why I'm so skinny to this day, probably, because I haven't been indulgent in one of the most
Starting point is 00:27:12 delicious things of whiteness is racism. Racism. I've been out here. eating black stuff my whole life. Including black women. What the hell is wrong with me? You wonder why you're not gaining no weight. What's wrong with me?
Starting point is 00:27:24 I'm trying to tell you. Do I need to get me a white woman and build? Is that what I need to do, guys? Is there anybody building with white women anymore? Say what? People still building with white women. You can't build with a white woman? You don't know if you're sorry for politicians?
Starting point is 00:27:41 Say what? You don't that feel sorry for politicians? Why? When you see that women? All jokes aside. When you see white politicians with their women, you don't never feel so right for them? Nah.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Because I feel like this, if you could fuck us over, you could fuck over your wife. And they do. That's why whenever you see them get caught up in a scandal. Right? And they fuck them like, it's understandable. I'm just saying it. You think that they ever give a speech where they're like,
Starting point is 00:28:13 listen, I understand the struggle. Look what I've been with for the last 40 years. Look at the women they do it. They're not even bad. Yeah, I know. They just better than what they got in the White House. Bro, everything's relative. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Like, everything is relative. That's all it is. Guys? You're not on the microphone, Taylor. You don't need to be. And we don't need you to be. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. Listen, he didn't mean that as like that.
Starting point is 00:28:40 She thought he was going to invite her. She did move off the wall, right? You saw him move off the wall. It's like someone was like, Hey, you want to dance? No, no, no, no, no, your friend. Yo, you want to drink? No, no, not you.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Girl standing behind you. Yeah, yo, tap your friend. I want to talk to her. Yo, that's your piss a girl off, you. You can't buy her a drink unless you buy me a drink. Okay? Now I got to buy both of y'all drinks just to tell you to get the fuck out of here. Go over there, drink your drink.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Okay. Moral of the story is Popeye's is a good fucking chicken sandwich. I haven't had it yet. And Dave Chappelle's special, you should check out. Absolutely. Listen, those are the best things moving this week. Yeah. Come on, baby.
Starting point is 00:29:24 You know what? Oh, oh, crowd work. What made you do that? So, because Charlotte May is so amazing at introductions, love your support, brother. I did. Immediately just goes to text on his phone. Hey, Schultz, there's something.
Starting point is 00:29:47 you want to promote? I release a special as well, same day as Chappelle, on YouTube, and it's called the Crowdwork Special. It's just no material, all freestyle, all off the domes,
Starting point is 00:30:02 35 minutes, and I did it when I was down in D.C. And I did it for a specific reason. Sometimes I'm like, because I feel like there's too much thinking going on. Yeah, yeah. Everything's a fucking think piece.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Because everybody, You know why? Talk to me. People are afraid of backlash. No, no, no, no. So they want to have these perfectly crafted things to say so they don't get in trouble. That's why you can't believe nothing nobody's saying anymore. The backlash is thinking.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Look at your fucking Janelle Monet. It's like we have think pieces about Popeye's chicken. Like that's too much thinking. When you're thinking about Popeyes, like even any, every, any blogger, every article, you go on Twitter, it's content. What does it really mean that Kamala Harris? What does it really mean that off white is it? What is it really mean?
Starting point is 00:30:46 It's like we need to stop fucking thinking. Like every time I address something, dude, for real, every time I address something comedically is based on what I know the people need, but they might not need yet, right? Like, that's what views was about. And then for this latest one,
Starting point is 00:31:03 what I was subscribed to show, don't tell, right? So for the latest one, I was like, all right, I got the most diverse audience in comedy. That's without a doubt. Why don't we do a special, right? And Alex came up with the idea of dropping same day as Chappelle. Why, Alex?
Starting point is 00:31:21 Why not? Why? Well, he had a great idea where he was like, you know, in music, people drop on the same day because when you're in an album listening mood, why not listen? I'll tell you the fundamental difference. Right, but let me explain the point. So, like, the point of it was, like, I got this super diverse audience. And everybody in the world is saying, people can't take a joke, people don't laugh,
Starting point is 00:31:43 people are offended, right? I am making fun of every race, religion, gender to their face, and they are laughing at themselves. It dispels this myth that we are humorless people, that we're overly triggered, we're overly sensitive, because that is nonsense. I told you the idea I want you to do. I know. We'll get there. We'll get there. But like, for me, so what happens is, so it's just like, this is literally just a group of people from all different walks of life laughing at ourselves.
Starting point is 00:32:14 in front other people. It really shows why comedy exists. It doesn't divide us. It actually brings us together. Everybody's taking it. The Asian guy's taking it. The black chicks are taking it. The Indian dudes take it.
Starting point is 00:32:26 It's just we are having the white chick where the fucking blazer is taken. That's a clip I showed you, right? And it's like we are, this is what comedy is and this was for. Well, thanks for explaining that chance to wrap because I didn't get that from the special. I just thought you was showing that you better off the top
Starting point is 00:32:39 than everybody else. I mean, that's too. I can get that deep. for meaning. I just thought you his chance to rap and put out his album the big day
Starting point is 00:32:48 and he had on the front of it he was holding a blank CD. Yeah. So I'm thinking the album is about his big day
Starting point is 00:32:54 album release. Right. And you listen to it and it's way too long it's longer than Wendy Williams' legs and he's talking about motherfucking
Starting point is 00:33:02 being married and shit which is shit that I can relate to and being faithful because I'm a married man but I'm like I don't want to hear 22 records of this shit.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Yeah, no, that's fine. But then when he's on breakfast club the other day he's like He explained it. It's about the big day like my wedding.
Starting point is 00:33:15 So why the fuck wasn't your wife one that would have a wedding dress for the album cover? But that's the beauty of the breakfast club that's the beauty of podcast that's because you start that narrative. Like the people are going to watch it
Starting point is 00:33:23 no matter what I'm going to watch it. But my feeling was like you know, Chappelle's the goat, you know what I'm saying? And if you want to be in the conversation of goats, then you have to be in the conversation
Starting point is 00:33:33 with the goats. So I want to drop the same day because I want you to watch both of them back to back. And I want you to watch them and I want you genuinely to ask you know, like which one you last.
Starting point is 00:33:43 You want comedy for you. You want comedy for you. fans to do that. Yeah, because I want you to, I don't want you to watch it a year later and then remember like, oh, well, how much did I laugh at Chappelle versus how much of your show? I want you to watch them right with each other. And, man, if you laugh the same, what an awesome honor to be in the same. Is that fair, though?
Starting point is 00:33:58 Because I remember you said at the beginning of it, you said, you want me to go against Chappelle's well-crafted jokes. Because if I, if I was putting you and Chappelle up against each other, even though I know you're funny off the top, I wouldn't want that. I would want you to give me them slappers that you have really thought about You might want to watch the special, bro You put some of those slappers in there?
Starting point is 00:34:21 No, it's off the top No, I'm saying, I'm not saying that it's not funny But I'm saying if you want to, if to compete Yeah I would want you to compete with your Best shit Against his best shit All I'll say is this
Starting point is 00:34:35 I'll just say, yo watch them Just see how much you laugh Because you don't want somebody to be like Oh, it's funny for some off the top shit No, no, I just want to see how much you laugh. That's it. Just laugh. Just see how much you laugh. And then, if you're laughing this much of this. Imagine how much you'll laugh in my crafted shit.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Now we, now we're doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that's it. That's all. But it's just one of those things where it's like, I felt there was too much thinking in comedy right now. And I wanted to just bring... I think too much overthinking. Whatever. Overthinking thinking. I just wanted to bring back fun. It's like when you look at a guy like Duval, like what he's doing out there. Like, he's bringing fun. All fun, baby. Right? Like, let's have fucking. fun.
Starting point is 00:35:13 That's why we got into this shit in the first place, because when we were hanging out with our friends, we were having fun and busting balls. When we were hanging out with our friends doing comedy, it was never like, this is my theory on blah, blah, blah. I do think the great comedians fucked that up, though. Meaning, like, Louis C.K., Chris Rock,
Starting point is 00:35:30 Dave Chappelle. Not all of them are fun. Dave is fun. But he's smart, too, though. Dave makes you think. Like, Dave, like, oh, shit. I think some of those guys were so smart that all comedians kind of felt like,
Starting point is 00:35:42 I got to be smart to be interesting. Yeah, but some of those guys are only smart. Like Louis is a fucking amazing, prolific comedian, but I never had fun around him. He's not fun. Well, he never jerked off with him. Well, who would that be more fun for? His type of fun was just for him.
Starting point is 00:36:00 He didn't have the kind of fun and he could share it with the family. Hey, guys, you want to do a circle jerk around this young lady real quick? That's his idea of fun. It is crazy. Like Rock is fun. I've had some hangouts with rock. He's fun.
Starting point is 00:36:15 He's fun. Rock is fun. But Chappelle is fun, like really fun. Chappelle is, let's go get a drink, let's smoke, let's hang out all motherfucking night. All nights of four to morning cracking jokes. Let's go to what the DJ's playing music. Matter of fact, I'm going to have my own little motherfucking party at a hotel. I'm a bougham motherfucking bar.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Everybody come over here. That's what we're going to be at. And that's the thing. That's all it is. When we hang out, Alex and I are on the road with Mark and I'm just hanging out with our college, my comedian friends. even us on this podcast. That's a great point.
Starting point is 00:36:43 It's fun. Like, that's what needs to be brought back. That is a great point because Dave, if you know anything about Dave Chappelle, he's always doing jam session somewhere. He's always having parties at his crib. He's always having parties when he's out of town. Like, if he's out of town doing the show,
Starting point is 00:36:55 he's going to pull up somewhere. Like, I party with Dave in South Africa. I party with Dave here in New York. Like, he likes to have fun. Yeah, he likes to have a good time. And in the midst of the good time, he's just like anybody else. He's drinking, he's smoking,
Starting point is 00:37:08 and we're talking about some smart shit, and we might start laughing about some, bullshit. Like, we just throwing ideas up against each other. I would not be surprised if this special, the crowdwork special I put out, if it gets, if it does as well as I think it can do, I would not be surprised if we see more of the serious comics letting loose a little bit and being a little more vulnerable and just goofing around.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Well, you know, that's what Dave does after every show. You know what's so funny? There is an extra part on his special. And it's all crowdwork. And it's a question answer with the crowd. We had no clue. Nobody had any clue. You can only access it if you watch 25 minutes of credits.
Starting point is 00:37:46 You can't even fast forward to credits. Or if you go to a show. Or if you go to a show, obviously, right? But, like, how wild is that? How wild is that, like, that I released the same day. And I didn't even find out about that shit to the next day. But how wild is that, like, being on the same wavelength that both of us had this theory, like, yeah, yeah, this needs to be out there. They need to show just, we need to show people that, yo, this is fun.
Starting point is 00:38:11 There's funny in the bones. And look, I mean, it's just cool. I think you have that muscle already, but I also think that, you know, having a podcast the past few years help hone that muscle. 100%. I think Dave has watched people do podcasts,
Starting point is 00:38:24 and that's his version of doing a podcast. How do I do this? How do I have that? Because when I saw him and, when I saw him two years ago, he did that. Mine is different than the question to answer. Mine is just, this is, I'm performing. This is a show.
Starting point is 00:38:36 It's 35 minutes. I'm performing as a show. If someone brings up Epstein, Now I'm going to talk about Epstein. If somebody brings to this or I'm making fun of somebody, it's not like, it's not relaxed. Like, we're going. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:49 He goes in like that. Like, two years ago he did that when I saw him at Radio City. Yeah, yeah. And he did it. And I forgot who he bought out with him on stage. But when I saw him at Broadway this year, he bought John Stewart out. And it was just him and John Stewart just going back and forth with the crowd for like another hour.
Starting point is 00:39:08 So cool. Yeah. So, I mean, like, yeah. Listen, man, I think everybody is, everybody's feeding off each other's energies in different ways. Yeah, man. That's the beautiful thing. And it's not, and it's not in a stealing way.
Starting point is 00:39:21 No, is, that's what people got to understand. It's like, if someone else is talking about mental health, right? And if Oprah starts talking about it, aren't you happy? Isn't that your win? You should want that. You should absolutely want that. You can't be so selfish as to keep something to yourself. Like, for me.
Starting point is 00:39:36 That's something like that. That's for everybody. If the biggest comic in the world wants to go out there and take. on cancel culture, that's a win for me too. If what you're trying to do, not me too. Not a win for me too. This is actually the opposite of that. They're going against me to.
Starting point is 00:39:49 All right. You know, there's a point in the crowdswork special where somebody brings up something and I talk about my hemorrhoid. I didn't even notice I said this, right? I talk about my, I just say something quick, a little quick response about my hemorrhoid, and then I go, but hold on, right?
Starting point is 00:40:05 And these people are listening to every word so much in the YouTube comments. They go, yo, you hear what he said? He said, butthole on. Like they thought that I was making a pun instead of but hold on. They were like, butthole. I was like, y'all are paying attention, me. That is crazy.
Starting point is 00:40:25 No, what you said is absolutely true. And it made me think of something. What did you say before that? Don't take on. Don't be upset if somebody's taking on your... Boom. Yeah. I want to talk about Colin Kaepernick after we pay these bills.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Ooh. Go. Ben and Jerry's. I got you. There's still a bit of summer left, which means it's still prime ice cream season. That's right, man. I'll be honest with you,
Starting point is 00:40:49 my favorite ice cream, hands down, chocolate fudge brownie, you know, and my favorite type of lady's sight. Taylor gang. What's on Taylor gang? So,
Starting point is 00:41:05 I love it. I love chocolate fudge brownie. I also love oatmeal cookie chunk. That's my favorite. Both of them from Ben and Jerry's, without a doubt, always been my favorites. Ben and Jerry's, the motherfucking legends, the goats of this ice cream gang. It's not even a question, okay? Ben and Jerry's, you go out there and you get some of that ice cream before summer's over
Starting point is 00:41:25 because you know it slaps in July. It slaps in August. It slaps in September. Shit, it might even slap in October. You lucky motherfuckers down there in California or Florida or Texas get to eat it all year. Love Ben and Jerry's. truly the best without a doubt
Starting point is 00:41:43 you put that in the fridge you put that in your freezer rather but what I like to take it out a little bit maybe even throw it in a microwave 10 seconds just get it a little loose I don't want to fight with my ice cream when it's too hard I don't like that either
Starting point is 00:41:57 I'm with you I used to warm the spoon you warm the spoon and you dip it in it cuts right through right through that motherfucker absolutely how do you warm the spoon not in the microwave though you put hot water on it run hot water on it Holy shit, is that what the fucking scoopers are in in the ice cream places? I believe so.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Mind blown. Mind blown! This whole fucking time, I had no clue why they keep the ice cream in that shitty water. Yeah, it's warm. But it's warm, not the ice cream in the scoopers, but it's warm so that it cuts through the ice cream. That's it. That's it. Listen, treat yourself to your favorite flavor anywhere ice cream is sold.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I'll find a new favorite at Benjerry.com. That's B-E-N-J-E-R-R-Y. Let's get back to the show. Okay, talk to me. You said something that's very important. You said if somebody is advancing your cause. Right? You have to be careful here.
Starting point is 00:42:50 You might be using logic. You might be using logic. If somebody is advancing your cause, you should not be upset. And if you are upset, what does that say about you and how you feel about that cause? That means that you may be a little misguided. Or maybe it's not as much about the cause as it is about you. Maybe. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:43:15 Listen, I got mad love for Colin Kaepernick. I got mad love for Jay-Z. I'm tired of y'all bickering over this shit. You know what I'm saying? Not y'all too in particular, just the community, cultural in general. You know what I'm saying? Because at the end of the day, you have two people who I believe are taking two
Starting point is 00:43:29 different courses of action to get the one common goal. Now, Colin Kaepernick took a need for social justice, right? That's it. Period. He took a need because of the police brutality that was having the unarmed black and brown people in this country. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. So if the cause is social justice and you have the NFL responding to that, right?
Starting point is 00:43:51 Even if they are keeping cap out of the league for whatever reason. But if they are responding to that, if they're saying, look, we're going to start this impact change. And we're going to pony up $100 million to start donating to, you know, different organizations that are doing the work. And we got guys like Malcolm Jenkins running it. And Colin, we want you to be a part of this. Colin, you're choosing not to. Then Jay-Z comes along. And Jay-Z's with impact change now.
Starting point is 00:44:14 And they're trying to elevate that conversation. And they're using the NFL's resources to empower these organizations that are doing the work in the community on behalf of all these various causes for black and brown people. Why would you be upset at that? Why would anybody be upset at that? Can I ask you a question? Yes. It's a hundred million dollar donation, right? It's more now, actually.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Okay. Yeah. Do you know how much the seven richest and most powerful? countries in the world offered to donate to stop the fire in the Amazon? I think the most I saw was five. $20 million total. That's $3 million a country. The NFL is willing to inject more money in black and brown communities or I'm not
Starting point is 00:44:53 exactly sure where this is. Well, what they're doing is... Whatever the fuck. They're giving money to organizations that are doing the work on the ground in these different communities. Boom. So they're injecting money into the communities. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:04 five times more money than the world was willing to inject in saving our oxygen source. They got another planet. They're like, man, they're a rich man. They're going to Mars. They really out of here, bro.
Starting point is 00:45:15 They're gonna give a fuck about that. They are really out of here, bro. You better enjoy this shit while you can't. They're like Leo, you ain't made enough money to move? Bye. Bye. Bye.
Starting point is 00:45:23 They are fucking gone. They don't give a fuck. They really don't care. They are out of here, dude. They are fucking out of here. There's other planners that are that can hold human life They are out of here, dog.
Starting point is 00:45:36 They don't want to deal with the riffraff no more. They don't want to do with this bitching, complaining. For what? They're over it. They're out. They don't want to deal with this shit. It's a planet where there's some fucking avatars and they're chilling. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:47 Living their life. They got healthy Popeye's chicken sandwiches. You know what I'm saying? That's the best tequila. They really invented that. That's the first thing. They're good. That's the first space food, bro.
Starting point is 00:45:57 They out. Let me tell you something. If they put Popeye's chicken sandwiches on Mars, we don't make it up. up there, bro. Let me tell you something. We're going to make it up to Mars. What if? We're going to make it up to Mars. What if where are the babies of all the planets and everything that every other planet has done? We're just now doing. What if there was already a Popeye's on Mars and that's why there's no life on Mars now? Because of the Popeye's chicken sandwich.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Have you thought about that? You understand what I'm saying? It could be a reason that there's no life on these planets no more. They did the fast food thing. Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far, far away, it's a superior life form saying, oh, that galaxy will never learn about fast food. It's another planet about to be disintegrated because of fast fucking food. We had nuclear weapons, but it was a chicken sandwich that took us out.
Starting point is 00:46:48 A pop-bye chicken fucking sandwich, bro. Killed you. Game over. Have you felt the same since eating that sandwich? Do you feel any different since last Friday? I think I've developed sickle cell. It's possible. It's possible.
Starting point is 00:47:05 That shit must be. might have fucked you up and you don't even realize it. What if white people started getting sickle cell after he and pop pies? What if Popeye's chicken sandwiches, the new smallpox blanket? Small pops. Small pops chicken sandwiches. You know how stupid out of looking history books in the future? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:47:24 We got rid of those niggas with Popeye's chicken sandwiches. Use blankets for the Native Americans. For black people we did the Popeye's chicken sandwich. That's the other thing too, right? Hey, cracked didn't work. Mass incarceration. They survived everything. The police didn't work.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Age. Chickens. We got them to fuck out of here. Let me tell you. I was talking to somebody the other day, man. I'm not going to say their name because this shit was so stupid to me. It's so nice. It's too funny.
Starting point is 00:47:48 We was talking about fucking, we was talking about, they was talking about Pop-I's and how Popeyes owes us money, which I think is the most asinine, illogical shit in the world. Wait, why did Popeye owes the black community money? Yes. Okay. Because it's this whole thing about, you know, we caused 60 million, and I'm not going to put all that on black people.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Popeye's chicken sandwich was a cultural phenomenon all across social media. We saw some whites. We saw some whites by chicken sandwiches. So whatever, $60 something million in advertisement generated for this chicken sandwich. Now people feel like Popeye's owes them something. Nobody told you all to go buy that shit. Nobody told you to post it on your social media. Popeyes owes you absolutely nothing.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Okay? And I don't remember what the fuck I even started talking about that for. All right? I don't know. But I just know that Popeye's owes you. you nothing. Yo, what if one of these Democratic senators
Starting point is 00:48:38 that's just tired of being asked about reparations the next time someone asked them, they're like, we gave you the fucking chicken sandwich. They was eating it too.
Starting point is 00:48:47 By the way, I haven't seen a presidential candidate eating no Popeye's chicken sandwich. What does that tell you? That should make you know all the other side. That should make you think something.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Because usually when there's some cultural shit going on and they want a panda, they go to, they'll pull up the Popeyes. Oh, you know whoever wins the next championship when they come to the White House
Starting point is 00:49:02 what's going to be served? Popeye's chicken sandwiches. And, You can't even be mad at Donald Trump. Can you? No. Can you? He's on brand. He's gave you Chick-fil-A?
Starting point is 00:49:11 He gave you McDonald's. He gave you Burger King. Ooh. That's my hypertension. That Pop-Pi chicken sandwich. That's coming back. Ooh, what's that? Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:49:22 He's having chest sandwich. Ooh, ah. Why he's sound like DJ Cool just now? Ooh. Ah. Oh, ooh, ah. Oh, ah. Let me clear my throat.
Starting point is 00:49:33 My throat. No, that. Listen, all I'm simply saying is... I don't know what the fuck I'm saying. I'm just tired of talking about Popeye's chicken sandwiches, man. We're tired of thinking. Stop! It's overthinking of everything.
Starting point is 00:49:46 I think people are doing too much overthinking, yo. It's like it's not that serious. How about this idea? This is some wild shit that I'm doing. Okay. You know how you could patent something? You know, if you invent something, you could patent it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:02 How fucking stupid is that? Like, let's say you invent the zipper, right? And you patent it. And then let's say a guy who's never even heard of you in Turkey also invents a zipper. You could go to Turkey and then sue him. What's the problem with that? He had no, he can't close his jacket? I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:50:24 But, like, think about it conceptually. It's an absurd notion. Is that Chick-fil-A? You know me. Oh, wow. Wow. You know me. Wow
Starting point is 00:50:36 She didn't hear lying about being tired of chicken She just walked in here with Hennessy and Chick-fil-A Hey Wow, that was like the blackest thing I probably could have known No, it's not It's life Yeah No, you can't
Starting point is 00:50:48 Give me my food, please You're greedy How am I greedy So you think I'm saving you from yourself, tell Charleman, what if someone invents the wheel Right? Yes
Starting point is 00:50:57 And then another person invents the wheel In a completely different country Never heard about that first person They shouldn't be entitled to that invention of the wheel Like, it's just such a preposter. I mean, listen, you can invent whatever you want. But why do you get to own it? Like, I think trademark is bullshit.
Starting point is 00:51:11 It's just some things rich people made up so that they could keep all the money for themselves. I don't see a problem with it. You don't have no jokes you want to trademark? Jokes are different. Why? It ain't different. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Jokes are different. If you saw me do it, you're taking it. If you didn't see me do it, I can't hold you accountable for that. You know how many people I've seen do jokes that are similar to my, I'm not running up to them saying, oh my God, you stole that. that from me. Maybe you thought of the same
Starting point is 00:51:35 idea. If I know that you stole it to me, if you complimented me on the joke one show and then later I see you doing a joke, that's different. If the guy from Turkey came to your house and he was like, oh, you zip your jackets like that, word, that's what's up. And then goes back to Turkey and makes it, that's stealing. But if the dude just wanted to close his fucking shirts and he thought of the same shit as you...
Starting point is 00:51:51 I'm going to tell you why should trademark everything. I think about all the money, cash money could have made off bling-bling. I'm dead serious. Yo, the idea that you could trademark a word is stupid. I love it. Truth of all, blink, bling, I don't think. Nobody was thinking about that shit before they put in the rap records. Yeah, but how do you profit off that?
Starting point is 00:52:07 Like, when I say bling, bling, bling. Yes, that's it ended up in the dictionary. Like, you had lifestyle that rich and famous saying bling, bling, blank. Like, that's how they was describing diamonds after cash money. Fuck that shit, trade market. Why not? I just think it's absurd. It's like, like, it's another thing.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Like, can you own oxygen? Like, why can you own land, but not oxygen? I don't know, bro, but I know this chick-fil-a-frize, bro. Man, this shit is like air right now, my nigga. I'm gonna crazy your loss. He said the N-word, bro. He could have helped himself. I'm loyal to the soil, all right?
Starting point is 00:52:45 Y'all can rush the Popeye's all y'all want. I've been eating Chick-fil-A my whole life and I don't got diabetes. All right? I'll fuck with Chick-fil-A. That's a good point. Why can't you own air? Yo. Why can't you own the air?
Starting point is 00:53:00 Like, we own land. I've seen them sell air. Say what? I've seen them sell air. Yeah. Bags of air on eBay. So you're selling bags of air. Like, why can you sell it?
Starting point is 00:53:08 Why are you allowed to sell it? Whose air is that? Is that my air? Did you take it from outside my apartment? If you could own water, you know, we could own pieces of water, right? You can own a lake. You could own a fucking river if it's on your property. You could, America owns the water around America.
Starting point is 00:53:22 That's why I like going to the Caribbean because in the Caribbean, none of the beaches are private. I don't give a fuck what's there. I don't give a fuck if it's the four seasons. Right. you know. There was one beats who was private where
Starting point is 00:53:33 Epsian's island Yeah the whole island Yeah that has beaches Was there water around It had to be water On his island Did you just ask If there was water around an island
Starting point is 00:53:42 Isn't I'm just trying to kill a time While I eat these chick-filet For a Jesus Christ That was your question You were a professional interviewer I'm just distracted
Starting point is 00:53:49 There water around an island I'm inscracked Right now Say what? Now it's gonna be people That watch this shit And say Oh I knew
Starting point is 00:53:58 I knew Chick-filet was going to get one of these niggas to get their back. Yeah. There's people that think I'm getting paid for this right now. I mean, you did. It's part of the mid-rolls. We have to talk about chick-fil-law. Stop acting, bro.
Starting point is 00:54:10 No-and-not. Stop frying, though. You industry, dog. It's all good. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's all good. Every day he talks about his skin regimen,
Starting point is 00:54:19 and I don't eat this. And Dr. Natasha Sandy, now you scarfing down French fries on Chick-fil-A. I have a super side salad. Can you never say three-ses and again, please? Can you never say three Ss again? Okay? Because I have to wipe my face off. Do you have a supersized towel so I can clean my fucking body after that?
Starting point is 00:54:39 No, you're not. Bro! Dude, that was like fallatio. Dude, that was intimate. He just put his mouth inside the fry canister thing. Come. Come. Come on in.
Starting point is 00:54:53 I'm loyal. Huh? Nila. Nila, Chick-fil-A or Popeyes. What the fuck you got a bra on? Chick-fil-A, let me get some Chick-fil-A. Okay, go ahead, take it. I just wanted to fry.
Starting point is 00:55:02 He ate all the fries. Why, didn't it? Two other fries there. Oh, that was OD. I don't know who else food this is. Chim-fil-A all day. Papas is a mess. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Papi's great for sides. Thank you. No, no, no. No, she's right. Nah, you need to stop. Don't you try the chicken chicken sandwich? Don't she talk with the microphone, Nilo? Oh.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Is that on? Dwayne, is that one on? Yeah. What did you think about it? I tried the chicken sandwich. I just thought it was overrated. Chick-fil-A will never be defeated when it comes to it. Man, what y'all know about chicken?
Starting point is 00:55:31 The Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich kind of has, like, that sweet taste to it. Like, it's something about it. Like, the Popeye's one was like, it tastes like a chicken breast on bread, really. It was, like, crunchy. Like, they didn't do nothing different. Where at Chick-fil-A, you got options. You see what Charlamagne's eating right now? Grilled.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Grilled. It's grilled. Grilled. You know what I'm saying? It's the healthier option. There is no healthy option at Popeye. So you upset because Popeye's isn't healthy? No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:55:56 I'm not upset. I'm just saying... How you feel by ice cream? No, the competition that they tried to create just wasn't there. That's it. I agree. Popeye's bodied them. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Social media just hyped it. We got to stop allowing social media to gas shit. I agree. Because it's like, it was never that serious. You really tried it? I tried it. I had it twice when they brought it up here and then we ate it again. Oh, so you had another one?
Starting point is 00:56:17 Yeah, I had to confirm. Oh. I had to confirm. You know what I'm saying? That this is what I'm saying. It kind of seems like that you like that chicken sandwich. That's all I'm saying. If it wasn't that.
Starting point is 00:56:26 You see what you just said on the back of this? Soggy on the bottom. Let's say let's get to... Let's get to the bottom of this. Yo, that's what the gay dude says on Sundays. Well, guess what? They got to do something to cater to the gay community. All right?
Starting point is 00:56:41 Take play out to do something for the LGBT community. That's why they take Sunday off. Just a butt fuck. What is happening? Right? You think we're gay? What do you think we're doing on Sundays? We put the fill in fillet.
Starting point is 00:56:55 By the way? That would be the illest marketing scheme ever. I'm right in my business. You know why we closed on Sundays? Sodomy. That's it. It's Sodomy Sundays is a Chick-fil-A ranch. Y'all are dragging it.
Starting point is 00:57:10 The disrespect is crazy. Why is it disrespectful? I had to walk away. Gay guys can't like butt. I'm going to eat this french fry. If we like chicken sandwiches, they could like butt, you know? A brush, the sandwich that Popeye's made off is just the butt of the chicken anyway. Really?
Starting point is 00:57:25 Yeah. You ain't know that? No, chickens don't have but, bro. Chickens don't have butts. Chickens absolutely have butt. No, they just got a hole. So why do you think people say, guess what? I think chicken butt.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Because it rhymes, though. They just got no, it's just flat. They don't have butts. Do you think a chicken got an ass on it? I don't know. If they did, I would eat it because there's not a part of the chicken. That is not tasty, bro. Really?
Starting point is 00:57:55 The gizzards. the feet the breast yo I'm gonna be honest with you guys legs I didn't realize how much black people love chicken until this week
Starting point is 00:58:03 bro the gizards and just hearing you talk I thought it was a gross stereotype but hearing you talk about a chicken in the way that you just did bro

Starting point is 00:58:43 The what? No, because they got to The Mason Dixon line I got the Win Dixie line But before this Win Dixie a chicken shop or something like that? No, Winn Dixie's a grocery store in the South Oh
Starting point is 00:58:54 I don't know the Winn Dixie? You don't know what the Mason-Dixon line is? Before Chick-fil-Aids were everywhere, the closest you get one is in Philly. So to me, that's when it starts getting sovereign. Yeah, because it's Philly and ain't Philly on the border or what? Delaware or Virginia? Delaware. Delaware?
Starting point is 00:59:12 Would you consider Delaware to South? No. No. Anything below the Mason-Dixon line. It's Maryland down. Virginia. Yeah, Maryland, Virginia. Okay, okay, yeah.

I know somebody fries about to get fucked up If they don't come in here and get them Who else food is that? I mean, I'll cash up them

Starting point is 01:00:02 Wau's. Oh, that's what we were talking about. We're talking about Kavanick. Shit, that's what we were talking about, yeah.

Starting point is 01:00:43 And Raycon Okay Everyone needs a great pair A Wireless Earbuds But before you go dropping Hundreds of dollars on a pair You need to check out The Wireless Earbuds
Starting point is 01:00:51 From Raycon Right Racon! I love listen I love Raycon Wireless Earbuds budge simply because RayJ gave me a few of them a while ago and I used them, especially when I work out. Like Raycon Airbus.
Starting point is 01:01:04 They stay in. They actually stay in your ears, unlike all these other wireless airbus that just fall the fuck out. You know what? They don't slip out when my ears be sweating, they don't slip out. You absolutely right. Raycon Airbuds started about half the price of any other premium wireless airbuds on the market. And they sound just as amazing, all right? The company was actually co-founded by Ray J, my guy.

They're so comfortable and so easy to take anywhere. Unlike some of your other wireless options, Raycon earbuds are both stylish and the street with no dangling wires or stems.

Starting point is 01:02:01 If you've been eyeing a pair, now is the time to getting an amazing deal. One more time, buy raycon.com slash brilliant idiots. Now, back to what you said. You're absolutely right. If you care about an issue, you shouldn't care about who
Starting point is 01:02:14 is elevating said issue. There is no reason for people to not be rooting for what Jay-Z is attempting to do with the NFL to work. Doug, if you can root for Trump, when he gets people out of prison or whatever, when he does prison reform shit?
Starting point is 01:02:31 They don't rule for that. But there are people that can separate their hatred of his policies and him as a man. And I think there are people that can. And they can go, well, this one thing is good, we should support that. I'm happy that dude got out. I'm happy you got out. If you can do that with the person you hate the most,
Starting point is 01:02:48 but can't do that with Jay-Z, I'm just confused. I'm going to tell you why it's even more logically inconsistent than that. Yeah. We want Colin Kaepernick to be back in the league. We salute Eric Reed and Kenny Stills and all of those brothers for still playing in the league and protesting. Right. So if it's okay for them to be in the league, why is it wrong for Jay-Z to work with the league? What is the difference?
Starting point is 01:03:15 Like, it's literally the most logically inconsistent shit in the world to me. Now, if everybody wants to be on some fuck NFL shit, but we just say, fuck the NFL, we're boycotting. They did Colin dirty. We're not going to watch it no more until he gets the job. To me, that's a whole different boycott than what the taking the need stood for. Right. I'm sorry. Waxes.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Now you're distracted by chicken? No. Come on. Come on, white man. Stay focused. Is the most calm person that I've ever met. Why? He opened a chick-fil-a bag and noticed that there was less chick-fil-A than there should have been in there.
Starting point is 01:03:48 And he is having to fucking, he always put on his baseball gloves. He literally, he was like, somebody need to get fucked up over this. I thought about that. I thought about that when I opened mine. Somebody ate out of the top of every single fry. Taylor? No? I didn't get it.
Starting point is 01:04:03 I think it was DoorDash. The DoorDash guy. Yeah, they ate, I could tell. They ate out of the top of every single fry. Really? I can absolutely tell. Well, I got a cash out. Ah, that's Pages.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Don't worry about it. That's reparations. Love you. You don't or anything. Love, page. Much love. Listen, but if you don't... What if black people never had to pay for chicken for the rest of your lives?
Starting point is 01:04:24 That's not worth it. No, and it would need to be non-GMO chicken. That's all it's done. It's organic and then it's on the table. It needs to be organic. I want something else. That's why I think the KFC beyond chicken meat is bullshit. Well, the idea with that is eventually we won't be eating animals.
Starting point is 01:04:42 It's bullshit. You can't tell people you don't want them to eat genetically modified shit and then give them something genetically modified. Oh, no, I thought it's not, it's plant base. It's plant. Chickens aren't made of plants. It's not chickens are not growing out of the ground. They're vegan birds and You don't plant seeds and grow chickens.
Starting point is 01:04:57 I can see how passionate you are about this chicken project. I'm just saying. Son, this is shocking, dude. So you don't think this chicken is genetically modified? They're making this shit. You don't have to raise your voice, bro. Vegan wife. This guy's getting real upset about chicken.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Say what? Every time we try to talk about Colin Kaepernick. We say chicken man. Chicken been distracting us all goddamn weak, man. Now you understand why the Epstein shit we're not talking about it. You understand it. What if Epstein hung himself? Can I ask you something?
Starting point is 01:05:33 How you kill a chicken? What do you do to it? You pop his neck. What if Fstein? Let's go, man. What if Epstein hung himself? Because he knew where this chicken conversation was going and he didn't want to be a part of it, the same way.
Starting point is 01:05:49 I don't want to be a part of it now. I'm sick of it. No, he hung himself because, well, he was obviously killed. But he was killed. and then covered up with this chicken. That's all you to, it's just one chicken sandwich, bro. It's one chicken sandwich. And I'll be honest with you,
Starting point is 01:06:02 you guys shouldn't have fell for the chicken sandwich because if you didn't fall for the chicken sandwich, you would have got something even better. What? Maybe it was a whole chicken, maybe it was going to be another chicken involved. America fell for the chicken sandwich, bro. America fell, but we fell for the first offer. We should have said, no deal,
Starting point is 01:06:18 and then see what you really come back with. They could have reinvented. Who was the first person to say this chicken sandwich was so fire? Let's think about that. Why don't we? think about that. Yeah, like, who was the first, like, where did this chicken, who got the most to lose with Epstein? Who got the most to lose with Epstein? Clinton to Trump.
Starting point is 01:06:33 I wonder who, I wonder, I wonder who was talking about this pap hat. Chicken sandwich. You seen the fat lady. You know, Alex showed me this video of this fat chick, talk about how she spends all her money on food. Did you see this one? I'm blaming it on Trump. I blame it on social media. The reason I blame it on Trump is because Trump loves fat chick.
Starting point is 01:06:55 food. So if there's anybody who would come up with this fast food, this fast food scheme to distract us, it would be Donald Trump. Michelle Obama would never. Michelle Obama might be cooking the chicken. That's why that's just so fired. Yeah. Was never.
Starting point is 01:07:09 You don't think so? No, what? She was all about health. Yeah, she wanted to work out and all that kind of shit. She cheated with a pop-bop-a chicken sandwich, bro. You haven't? Nope. You didn't?
Starting point is 01:07:19 You tried to buy it the other day when we bought it. I didn't buy it? My wife told me no. My wife told me I couldn't have it. Oh. Your mind is telling you know I'm cool But your body
Starting point is 01:07:30 I'm cool It's telling me yes But back to your first point That y'all keep getting on topic about Capernick And how You know if you spell Capernick backwards As chicken
Starting point is 01:07:40 I don't stop that No I was gonna say that It's kind of like with Kim Kardashian And her like fring people Like that whole TV show she's doing And the social media justice thing And it's just like, we feel like Kim Kardashian appropriates black culture, but now she's out here freeing people.
Starting point is 01:08:00 How do we feel about that? Like, I personally, I don't know who you want to say. You should be happy. No, no, I am happy now. But at first it was just like, well, why is she doing this? She's just doing it. Like, I was like one of the- We question people's motives for why they do things all the time.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Nothing wrong to question it. Nothing wrong with a question, but don't question yourself out of success. Nothing wrong with her. No, but I'm happy she's doing it because it needs to get done. So by all means that she's the one who has to do it, then she has to do it. And that's how I don't. feel about Jay Z too.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Like, if Jay Z has the strength to sit in the room and do that and be like the game changer, then fucking thank God for doing it. What's the problem? There's no problem. Like, this should be no problem. And by the way, you got to give things a beat, right? Give it a moment. Let's revisit this conversation in a year.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Two years. There's no need to jump to an immediate reaction and be like, he's a sellout. He took the money and ran. What happened? Somebody ate your food? Damn, son. My last comment is that Rhapsody album is amazing. I tried to tell you, come on.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Yo. Hey, once again. Yo, chickens. By the way, by the way, by the way, chicken. That's a white person. That's a sellout. Chicken is a sellout, right, bro. Page is a real white sellout, bro.
Starting point is 01:09:11 You've been getting distracted by chicken the whole podcast. Maybe that was my whole plan with y'all. Yeah, right. Your food is gone? And all of it is one. Oh, wax ate those. I ate them. Waxe ate them because it.
Starting point is 01:09:27 It was her name? Who? Naila. Naila? Yeah. I'm snitching. Did Nile eat your fries? What did you get?
Starting point is 01:09:37 It's fries. All you got was fries? You know, you got to stop getting bullied, man. That's what that white guilt does to you, Paige. You got to stand up for yourself. No. You know what I mean? You got to stand up for yourself.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Not sitting there salty like a cracker. By the way. By the way. By the way. Nobody's going to take a white person getting mad over chicken. serious. All right. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:10:02 She likes to cry, son. You know what, I take that back? It's not chicken. It's potatoes. Irish. Yo. Her last name is Godno.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Donald. It's the potatoes. Come on, yo. Don't fuck. That's Irish people take their potatoes. Serious. It's potatoes.
Starting point is 01:10:17 White people's chicken is definitely potatoes. By the way, and those were fried potatoes because they were French fries. Yes. That's white people's fried chicken is French fries. Fried fucking potatoes. That's what the fuck it is. Mother fucking Irish, God damn it.
Starting point is 01:10:36 She lost her fucking mind over them fried potatoes just now. It wasn't that big a deal when you're eating a chicken. But when you win for detaters? That was too far. It was too damn far. That's something I'll take an e-for, Charlemagne. Page is quit off the half of fucking potatoes. Get off some fried potatoes, man.
Starting point is 01:11:04 You must not know how serious Irish people take their goddamn potatoes, bro. Okay? That's their livelihood, goddamn. That's their livelihood, bro. They stopped making potatoes. There was a potato famine, and they all starve to death. Really? Yeah, and the craziest thing about it is Dennis Learer had a joke about it.
Starting point is 01:11:21 He goes, they starve to death, and they live on an island. It's just like fish. Just put a rod in the water, and you can easily feed yourself. But they were so in love of potatoes that that that was. was the only thing that they would eat. That's crazy because Irish people ain't really chunky like that. Say well? You would think potatoes put a lot of weight on you.
Starting point is 01:11:38 No. Potatoes are from the earth, bro. Who did you say the little chunky tail? Don't do that. Don't do that. What? What? I said, some Irish people are choked?
Starting point is 01:11:50 Yo, are you saying page is fat. Wow. Yo, that's fucked up. That is really crazy. How are you going to take her French fries? I didn't take... That's why you took her fries? You did take one of them.
Starting point is 01:12:01 You took her fries because you're getting too chunky. You think she's getting too chunky? Yo, this is crazy. Why are girls so mean to each other, bro? Why y'all body shame each other so much? You didn't? I didn't. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Okay. Damn, bro. Yo, let's talk about Colin Chicken. Is it Colin Cameron? I think it's going to be hard to talk about Colin. With all this chicken going around. My point is simple. I just think it's very logically,
Starting point is 01:12:40 my point is simple. I just think it's very logically inconsistent for people to be mad at Jay-Z working for the NFL when we have people actively working in the NFL. Like, there was no black people working in the NFL and black people will boycott the NFL all together, meaning no players were playing, no black people were watching,
Starting point is 01:12:57 I would totally understand. Question. Are there any black-owned, fast food restaurants, chicken related. I mean this sincerely. I mean, if people don't own Popeyes, it's a lot of them.
Starting point is 01:13:08 Poppies is a Black man? Not the, not the founders of it, but there are Popeyes franchises owned by Black people. In fact, the source. The one that does the best that, like, that gross is the most
Starting point is 01:13:18 in the world, is owned by a Black man. That's great. But I'm talking about owning the sort. Like, we, you know, we talk about black business and supporting Black business and all that kind of stuff. It's like, well, why don't you just
Starting point is 01:13:27 support the businesses that you already support the most? It's like, if y'all love chicken so much, you love chicken, Why don't you just start a fast food chain? Like, I know that Rick Ross owns a few wing stops, but does he own wingstop? No. That's what y'all need to get into. If you already know that you like chicken sandwiches, start the chicken sandwich business.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Everybody likes chicken sandwiches. I don't know. Listen, I said this before because somebody said to me earlier this week, they was like, well, Popeye's doing his cultural appropriation. That was one of my points earlier that I lost. So if you hear me say, I forgot the fuck I was going to say, this is the second part of it that I just remembered. Somebody said Pop-I's is cultural appropriation
Starting point is 01:14:03 I'm like why is it cultural appropriation Like Chicken is not something That's just regulated to black people And by the way If you think it's cultural appropriation You can't get mad Whenever somebody uses it as a stereotype against us then
Starting point is 01:14:16 Oh, that stereotype is solidified now That's in the books Watermelon is still up in the air We don't know Until Chick-fil-A comes out with that watermelon milkshake next summer And takes back their fucking crown! watermelon lemonade?
Starting point is 01:14:32 Watermelon lemonade could be fired. If you drop watermelon lemonade, watermelon lemonade could be fired. You don't like watermelon at all. Is that a Philadelphia thing? No. I just don't like the fruit. I'll have like... Got you.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Got you, got you, got you. I'm not a peach milkshake from Chick-fil-A. No, I have not. Peach milkshakes from Chick-fil-A are amazing. It's one of the few things I will risk being lactose intolerant. One of the few times I'll put dairy in my body. Take your shots. It makes me break out. It makes me shit crazy.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it. for that peach milkshake from Chick-fil-A. Valena, that's the saying in Spanish. Imagine somebody makes a watermelon milkshake. Charming. This is, this is, this is the problem is,
Starting point is 01:15:09 is you're going to come up with these ideas that are a billion-dollar ideas and you're not going to get, you're not going to get the revenue from it. How do you know, I already have a trademark? And I'm just throwing it out there, so somebody breaks that trademark and then you got to collect that money.
Starting point is 01:15:22 And I just wait a year and be like, yo, oh, by the way. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. By the way, while you out here drinking your little green, And red milkshake, okay? That tastes like watermelon, all right? That's me.
Starting point is 01:15:35 All right? You don't believe it? Look it up in the books. And you'll see a black man with a big old smile. And a watermelon. And a milk. That's me. All right?
Starting point is 01:15:45 I'm sick of this shit. What? God, it must be so much fun to have cultural foods, man. I have no cultural food. Chicken is not a cultural food. America likes chickens. Let me ask you a question. Right?
Starting point is 01:15:57 Why do you just call them hens? That's all Wait a minute Is that what black people mean When they're like Let's throw them hands No Let's throw them hands
Starting point is 01:16:11 Throwing a bunch of raw Fucking rotissory chickens at each other So y'all love chickens That you fight with chickens Throw them hands Damn Y'all out here throwing hands Tennessee
Starting point is 01:16:23 Hennessy Oh my Tennessee The chicken of cognates. I did not know. I did not know this. Shut up, man. I did not know.
Starting point is 01:16:51 I'm still learning, bro. Listen. Listen, I did not know. Dude, I did not know, Charlemagne. I did not know, bro. Y'all call chickens, right? I don't know that.
Starting point is 01:17:04 You never heard the term hen? I've heard of a Cornish game hen. Boom. That's like a baby chicken. Boom. Everybody loves chicken I heard that black people don't like the baby chickens though
Starting point is 01:17:17 I don't know what baby chickens look like It's a Cornish game head I think it's just a smaller chicken Chicken's like a baby chicken Huh? Huh? Philly got chicken peats Yeah It's really good actually
Starting point is 01:17:31 But there's no chicken What the chicken peat's is chicken? No it's like more seafood in there and fries The logo is a chicken, Taylor? I never have chicken over there. Chicken peat is a chicken spot. They start chicken and french fries, man.
Starting point is 01:17:47 There's a place named chicken peats, and did you just try to say that it sells mostly seafood? Yeah, they do. Wow. So you're saying black people love chicken so much, they're naming their seafood restaurants after chicken. Okay, that's my fault. I never had chicken food. It's called chickies and peats. Right?
Starting point is 01:18:08 Oh, she's right. Ha. What? It is. Delicious seafood in public. rope. Oh, crab fries. It's chickies and peat.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Chicky and peat. I'm sorry, Taylor. I apologize. We're sorry. One time you actually sound the smart on the podcast. We apologize. Finally.
Starting point is 01:18:26 Dude, I'm like blown away by this whole chicken conversation, man. I'm learning a lot. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm over it. Yeah. Is there anything else that you'd like to bring up about chickens or while we're on the topic,
Starting point is 01:18:38 just while we're here? Um, it's Labor Day weekend This weekend Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people will be grilling Yeah Um burgers Hot dogs
Starting point is 01:18:52 Yeah Chicken I'm sure You know Now I'm just throwing this out there It doesn't necessarily have to be factual or true But like
Starting point is 01:19:04 When you imagine like A white girl saying something in like a porno Right when she's talking to a black guy. Like, what does she say? What is the line that comes to you? Give you that big black cock. I'm sorry, that what?
Starting point is 01:19:19 Big black cock. Because everybody loves chicken. Duh. White women love chicken so much that they call dick's cocks. White women are the only people in America who call penis is cocks. I think they only call that around black people. Well, you've got to have a certain size dick to have a cock. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Is it bigger or smaller? Bigger. Yeah. Really? You wouldn't call a little piece of meat a cock. You know what I'm saying? So big dicks are cocks. Cox.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Cocks. Let's do ask the idiot, Taylor. Christopher Wallace says, what is, what change most about the entertainment industry for better and worse since you started? What has changed most about the industry since I started? I mean, it's completely falling apart. It's like when when I started in entertainment, there was, you know, television was the only outlet. I mean, obviously radio as well, but like television was the only, you know, real outlet for video. And it was a closed circuit.
Starting point is 01:20:28 It was like owning a basketball team. You know, it's like if you weren't on one of the teams, you couldn't play in the NBA. Simple as that. It didn't matter if you like playing basketball. They had to allow you to play on it. And then the internet comes out and then you basically can have your own team. You create your own team and you play against. everybody else. And, you know, that's, that's really what we've learned is that, like, creatives
Starting point is 01:20:48 are more valuable than executives because what me, Alex, and Mark did with my special in a day, I think it got, like, 350,000, 325,000 or something views in a day. Like, that's triple what a Comedy Central special gets in a day. Creatives are more important than executives now, simply because creatives don't have to wait on executives to create. That's it. But we were always the powerful source. They just were holding court because they had a key. So we need to act like, sir, can I have the key so I could go in and make some shit?
Starting point is 01:21:21 And they were like, I don't know if we want. But now we don't have to. So the whole thing is falling apart. And then I would say that we have a very interesting next five years in entertainment. I think what's happening now is the streaming wars are about to begin. So all. Say what? Ain't no war be.
Starting point is 01:21:39 There will be wars. Ain't no war, babe. Okay, maybe no war, but whatever. I can tell you got the nuke. Yeah, Disney, obviously. Disney Plus got the nuke. Without a doubt. But it's like you're going to have Disney, NBC Universal, Netflix, Warner, which is also the HBO one.
Starting point is 01:21:53 And I think there might be one other one. I mean, Hulu is part of Disney. Time Warner, HBO will prosper. Yep. Because they got catalog. And they're also lasts to the market. So they're going to wait to see what everybody does wrong and what everyone does right. And then they're going to replicate that.
Starting point is 01:22:06 And they'll probably have some new advancements. and they also have shows that were already into. Catalog. Also, catalog. Not going to that. Catalog is what is going, you got to look at catalog. But catalog doesn't get you to sign up. New shit gets you to sign up.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Catalog satisfies you while you're signed up. Exactly. So Disney is going to kill because they got all of these new shows they're announcing. All the Marvel shit. I'm in. As a Marvel head, I'm in. Now think about it like this. Think about all the money Marvel movies make, billions of dollars.
Starting point is 01:22:34 Everybody that's a Marvel head is going to sign up for Disney. Plus. Then you're going to have the catalog of all the Disney shows. And I think they got Hulu, if I'm not mistaken, and Fox and all that.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Like, you've got cataloged to the best. Disney, they're going to shut everything down in the long run. Time Warner, HBO, depending on what else they bring to the table, they should kill
Starting point is 01:22:54 just based off catalog. Supranos, the wire, True blood. So, Warner includes CNN. What else? Turner.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Turner, yeah. What does Turner have? Sports. There we go. That is the game changer in streaming. When Disney, which owned GSPN, said they're coming out, I'm like, oh, you're good. We can watch games. I got to have that one because Netflix, you all ain't got shit.
Starting point is 01:23:19 Disney got ESPN. Do you know what I mean? It's too much shit. There's no organization. But Disney, I can watch my sports center if I want. I can watch my basketball if I want. I could watch my football if I want. I'm golden.
Starting point is 01:23:30 And when Warner came out and I was like, ooh, they got HBO, that's good. And then I realized they had Turner. I was like, wait, I could watch inside the NBA on TNT on a streaming service? Let's go. I agree with you, but the only reason, like, for me, Turner is seasonal when it comes to sports. I don't watch baseball. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:46 No, if I'm not... No, the Braves used to come on Turner back in the day. But I watch Inside the NBA. I don't go to them for nothing else. But ESPN is 24-7, 365, even when it's the off-season and ain't shit else on. But check it. Your cable package and my cable package right now already over $100. If we get the Disney package for 14 and the Warner package for 10,
Starting point is 01:24:08 That's $24 for all the shit I want to see. I just save $75. I'm cool with that. You give me Disney. You give me Netflix. You give me Warner. I'm good. So the next five years, you have the streaming battles where the dust settles.
Starting point is 01:24:20 We'll see where everybody is, right? And then after that... It'll be three left standing just like in network TV. So three left standing. And then after that, someone's going to come along and bundle all those three. And we're right back where we were in the first place at cable. We'll take a big check to bundle all those three. But checks are out there.
Starting point is 01:24:35 There's always checks. Yeah, I don't know who can buy that. Disney, Time Warner. It's not about buy. What they'll do is offer, right? So it's like, Time Warner offered all these channels. They didn't own ESPN. They didn't own Disney.
Starting point is 01:24:47 They just offered the channels. So when I get a Time Warner or Spectrum thing, I get NBC, but I also get HBO. I get these things. What's going to change? All this is... I wonder how Time Warner cable is going to change now. Oh, Time Warner cable is just going to be about Internet, right?
Starting point is 01:25:00 They're just like, hey, we provide you with the Internet so you can get this other shit. They've shifted their business plan. So all they want to do is going to be the provider. because if you want to get Disney Plus and you don't want to get Time Warner shit, they don't care because you still got to pay Time Warner to get the cable to get the Disney. So what's going to happen over the next five years
Starting point is 01:25:16 is going to be really interesting. Hey, Ted, open up your phone. Yeah, I think the industry is just going to continue to get better simply because nobody has to wait on no fucking buddy. This is a good one. Schultz's rise in unsafe comedy may have given credence to a goat like Dave Chappelle to be flagrant again.
Starting point is 01:25:35 But my question is, What other comedy ghosts do you see returning with this energy? Do you think Eddie will be raw again? Will Lewis get a special because of it? I don't think Chappelle was ever flagrant in his stand-up, though. I think he was more flagrant on the sketch show. No, he was flagrant. How old is 15 really was one of his most popular jokes?
Starting point is 01:25:52 I mean, he was, he had flagrancy, but he was always more cartoonish. Like, what Chappelle would do is, like, devise a kind of cartoon or a sketch, if you will, to execute a serious joke. Like when he was talking about the hood and he was talking about, I saw a baby selling weed on a corner or something like that. Remember? And that's his way of going, hey, this is the reality of the hood. But I'm going to make it kind of fun and silly so that you can take in the message of it. Right. So now I think this is the first time we're seeing Chappelle say literally how he feels about things that are going on instead of devising like a cartoonist story arc around it. Well, no, he still has the cartoonist story arc. It just. Like I said earlier, it just sounds like it's personal. It seems... Because these things are things that seem like they really happen to him in his real life. They're real instead of...
Starting point is 01:26:43 In the past, it might be like... A bit. A bit. Yeah. To say a real point. Yeah. into these podcasts. Slightitis.
Starting point is 01:27:12 Slightitis. Because of Chick-fil-A, I was hungry. I was starving. I had to eat all day. I didn't know that it was going to hit me this hard. But it has. And I think now it's time to say goodbye. Yo, thank you so much, man.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Go check out the special. I appreciate it. YouTube.com slash Andrew Schultz. And check out Dave's as well, man. It's a great time for comedy. This is exactly what we want to happen. This is exactly what we've been speaking about on this podcast on Flakron 2 about, you know, just letting jokes go and not holding back and not being pussies and saying what you feel and understanding is comedy.
Starting point is 01:27:49 And we should be able to say that. So it's a great time for comedy, man. And go check out those specials. Word. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, absolutely right. If you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right to.
Starting point is 01:28:05 It's the brilliant idioties podcast. Now listen, it is Labor Day weekend, and I know you may be sitting around, binge watching your favorite TV shows because you're hearing us talking about all these screaming services, and you want to see what a lot of the hype is about behind some of these,
Starting point is 01:28:18 even though a couple of them aren't even launched yet, but you'll probably be watching something on Netflix. I know I got a bunch of shows to catch up on on Netflix. But just remember, whatever you do is always better with a pint of Ben & Jerry's. Okay?
Starting point is 01:28:30 Now, you heard Andrew Schultz say he liked the chocolate fudge brownie. All right? some people like the cookie dough. If I had to choose between one, if I had to take a chance on my lactose intolerance, it would be the cookie though. All right,
Starting point is 01:28:44 but I want you to cozy up with your favorite flavor, wherever that may be. It's available anywhere ice cream is sold. I'll find a new favorite at Benjerry.com. That's B-E-N-J-R-R-Y.com. Is there, I remember once when we were in, where the fuck, we were down south. Do you remember this?
Starting point is 01:29:03 Mm-mm. It was your wedding weekend. Oh, you're talking about fucking, um, Kerminski's. Downtown Charleston. We went. The brownies and ice cream. That's right. We went to downtown Charleston.
Starting point is 01:29:17 And I remember that we had, you were like, chocolate chicken fudge. Shut the fuck up. That never happens. No, you chocolate chicken fudge brownie ice cream, dude. And it was, I was like, I can't believe. This can't be real. And, dude, it was, there were feathers coming out of it.
Starting point is 01:29:36 It was one of the weirdest ice cream was fired. Bro, the chocolate chicken fudge, brownie ice cream, and at Kaminsky's, that was it. That was it. That was it was it was it was amazing to see you guys eating that thing, Merrill. It was, it was delicious. Dude, fucking chicken fingers sticking out the side to the ice cream. And chocolate covered chicken feet, man. Dude, it was another thing.
Starting point is 01:29:57 But I got it. It makes sense. Anyway, guys, love y'all.
