If you and your girl, have your own language together, you guys can communicate.

Yes. And the language is called Puerto Rican. Yeah. Yes. I'm learning a lot of Puerto Rican. I'm learning a lot of it. Spanish, my brother. I don't know, bro.

Like, come on, man, it's a brilliant idiots. I apologize all the Puerto Rican and Spanish. I'm really calling Puerto Rican, too. But don't you understand that Puerto Rican have-Itho? I thought it was Puerto Rican patois. It is kind of. Okay. Yeah, Puerto Ricans have a different language than Mexicans.

They don't have the same thing. They have the same language. No, they don't. It's called Spanish. Is this true, Alice is Puerto Rican? It's the same, but there's some slang with it. All right, so you mean like Jamaicans and Americans? Yes.

Actually, even closer, like Canadians and Americans. Yeah. Okay. Probably like South Africans and like whatever different tribes and stuff over there. Because South Africans, a lot of South Africans speak like six, seven languages. It's like Zulu and... They just speak Spanish. Who?

Puerto Ricans. It's not... They don't have their own tribe. They don't have anything. They're just fucking Spanish. That's all it is. Puerto Ricans do have their own tribe. Say again?

They do have their own tribe. What is it? Yankees. Who else? See, the Yankees. You know what I'm saying? Slued all the Puerto Ricans with their own tribes out there.

So what happened? You explain this. So you have your own language with your girl. And I don't understand why this is bad. Usually this is like a beautiful thing. I think there are going to be girls. Listen, like, why I have my own language with my girl?

Wax sat in that chair and he's talked about something because he wants to talk about it. I don't want to talk about nothing. Yes, you do. This is before the show. You know it wasn't. You knew we were recording. I didn't know we was recording already.

All right, Alex, playback when we were recorded earlier. Either playback when we recorded earlier. You can talk about it right now. What's wrong with this language? What's the language? Listen, Charleneangang have a problem, man. He always gets me in trouble. Yeah, yeah.

Maybe I'm going to say it in trouble. I'm going to say it. Fuck it. Charlotte Man gets me in trouble. How? We all cool. Guy cold days, MTV, Carly, everybody knows.

Everybody's cool. We was at the 9-11 benefit concert just passed Saturday that our guy Pete Davidson and John Stewart put together for the families of the people who lost their lives in 9-11. Great cause.

They're really, really funny, too. First responders, firefighters, yeah. So we're in a video, Charlotte, I asked Carly and she vaxed the wax, and whatever. And Charlotte put the post up.

It was cool. And at the bottom of the post, it says, Wax and Carly have their own language. Oh, I thought Carla was Carly. Drop the ape with the other bowel. Well,

sometimes. Don't even do that. Now I understand why it's a problem. You can't have your own language with another girl, yeah. A, E-I-O-U and sometimes why? When you mean?

When you say that, though? Yeah, you mean. That's fucked up, Wax. Why would you still keep a language with another girl. No, no. No. Like, I'll be honest.

Like, I think it was nice of you to bring it up because now... Oh, yeah, put it out there for everybody. That's not cool. You can change your ways. You out here speaking a whole different language than another girl? What language you speak with your girl? I just speak in Spanish? You haven't even learned your girls' language yet.

I did. You learned Spanish? I'm being a whole lot of fucking Spanish. Give us a sentence right now. Right now? What is the thing you say most is Spanish? Los Santo. Go get leche.

What? To tell my son go get milk with his mommy. Oh, leche. Lece. Lece is milk? Yeah. Yeah. That's a silly name for milk, you don't think?

Nah. Leche? Let's it's better than milk. You think? Leche. Don't you want some... I would take it in Puerto Rico. It would be like some flair to it.

It would be like go get milk A. Milko. It would just be the English word. Yo, Americans, we're the most arrogant people on the planet. For no reason. We really are. We're really the most arrogant. Why does it sound like my shit?

Yeah. And I shit ain't even slapping, bro. I shit ain't even arse. Exactly. It's English. That's English. That's right. The slang slaps because we make shit up.

But Puerto Rican, Spanish people, they all sound better than us. Gichi Gullet of me sounds better than us. I just think other languages sound better than English, bro. Other languages are easier. Even the UK sounds better than America. Pause. Come on. Stop.

Come on, bro. You're acting crazy. Americans have to hear something. The best version of English, bro. It's not even close. Nah, you can be slapping. Now we like zero, zero. How do you hit on a girl in the UK accent?

All right If Hey, he got some nice legs, don't you? That's hard! That's it. No, it's not. I'm not there. That drives a girl up real quick.

Let me hear her yelling at you. What's the UK cat calls? I'm like, Oh, why are you're cheating on me? Like, it's not. What's the UK cat calls that I'm like? Hello, mighty. Can't be some fishing chips, la.

Leia? You can't laugh, bro. Carriage, light. What should we do about that? No, you can't be sexy in that shit. I love New Orleans accents. Okay, go. I just love them.

Just the way they talk. I love Baltimore accents, the way they stretch to you. Nah, that shit sounds crazy. I love that shit, man. No, that shit. They talk too long. Get you gull and Charlton. We love it.

You can't play around with us. Washington. Washington. Washington. I want to go to Washington, D.C. Boston is cool. Boston is trash too.

You think Boston's trash too? The accent is trashed. For dudes, it's dope. It's a great working class accent for dudes. It makes great movie characters and TV show characters, but for girls, it's a rough accent. Yeah, I see what you're saying. You're breaking my hat.

I didn't break your hat. You broke my hat, shot, man. How did you break a hat? He didn't call me back yesterday. He broke my hat. Yeah, he sounded like Carly a little bit. Carly, not from Boston. Maybe that's the language you.

And Carly would talk. Listen, Collie and Wax do have their own language, though. You can only be sexy in American English. That's it. I shouldn't have said vaccination. No, but you didn't say, no, why can't you say fax? That's the word. First of all, we talk about Carly Akelyna.

Callie's hilarious. Collie and Wax's, they talk their own language. They back there's talking. He's just driving it in. No. He's a lot. He's hilarious. He's hilarious.

You know I've been in therapy. No sure. Oh, that's the thing you think I was giving pushback. Pauli. He's hilarious. There is. Why? I've been doing a lot more money

and therapy. That's good. Because of this shit. Because of what? Yo, you over here keep saying stuff like this. This is going to come back into our therapy class

and I know it. Class. It is class for me. Why? Because Carly and, how long we know on Carly? 10 years? That's what I'm saying?

It's all long. We know on Collie. Carly's, that's girl code guy cold back in the day. Nobody, no girl want to hear that. What's your wife? We want to hear that? She wouldn't want to hear that.

I had such an intimate connection with another girl that I invented my own language. That's true. I can see why you see that. I never throwing you al-loop again. But no, the funny part is waxed out his young Miami on, period. Period. Period.

You didn't even hear to finish. Let the sentence finish first before you ended with a period. But, I mean, all they did was talk about waxed, are you vaxed? Pauly said, of course I'm faxed. She's like, wait, did you say vaxed or waxed? It was loud in there. That's all. The other shit was funny, though.

But it was the other shit. Because. Sweat. I'm going to have to go. Wax said something about not being back. And Carly was like, why? Let me guess. You're afraid of the microchip?

Where they're going to follow you? The Tim store. That's right. I didn't tell Carl, I said anything else. What do you do? Therapy, baby. I got therapy this week. I get it.

That was it? That was the only time you talked to her. Yeah, yeah. Stop. Luke to Carly, though. I'll tell you one thing. That 9-11 benefit. concert was funny because I didn't know it was going to be a comedy show.

Oh, what did you think it was? I literally thought people would just host it. I didn't know, I mean, I didn't know what it was. I had no idea. I didn't even think about it. And it's so stupid because I'm looking at the lineup and it's all comedians. And what do you think they were going to do? I had, yo, Andrew, when I said, I had no idea.

I had no idea. Because people was like, I want you to introduce calling Colin Joss. Colin Jost, right? Yeah. And I was like, I was like, I didn't understand what was going on. You are one of the most prolific speakers of our generation. And there are times where you say things and I'm like, I don't even know if he speaks English.

Because English is trash. I've been in my own language. You and Gitchie on that one. How do you pronounce it? Colin Jost. Jost. Yeah. And my girl said, he knows what the hell he write.

He write books, right? I'm like, yeah. She's like, so he knows what the hell he's doing. Why don't he write that? I didn't know it was going to be a big deal. You and Colin speak your own language. Go with a car. Go with the college.

Oh, no, but I didn't, I got, you know, he told me he wanted to introduce Colin. I didn't know what was. We get there. I'm like, damn, the garden is packed. Yeah. This is a show. Like, this is a show. And then when we get there, I'm seeing people on stage.

Carly went first. Then I think Jay Farrell, and I don't know why in my mind I thought they were just giving speeches. Because I'm thinking it's 9-11. I'm thinking everybody would be up there like telling like sympathy, like sympathy type story. Yeah, where you was at. Why would anybody go to that? I don't know.

I didn't know what I was thinking. Yeah. I didn't know if it was an honor. I didn't know if they were honoring the firefighters. I didn't know what it was. Yeah. And I'm like, hold up. They're going for it.

These are like real jokes. That's like, hold up, but it's a comedy show? Yeah. Oh, I'm going to stay a little longer, which I did. And we had a good time. He wasn't flying.

They was hitting people. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We left after David was up. It was David Teller. I think they were telling Bill Burr was the last two for the first half. They had to take intermission after Bill Burr. Yeah, he's a different, different animal.

Bill Burr ain't playing. Bill Burr is to white people. No, Bill Burr is the white women what Paul Mooney was to white people. Mm. Yeah. You know what I said? I say he's a white T.K. Kirkland.

Yeah. That T.K. go after it. He was going after it. No, he is. What about cats? No, that's good. I ain't seen cat in a minute, man. No, I see cat in a way.

Yeah, I don't think he's like cat. He's punching guts, man. Yeah, I don't think he's like cat. Yeah, Bill is more like Paul Mooney, more like TK. Because TK really, TK goes after women, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A lesson type of way. In a lesson type of way, not even like Burr.

Burr goes after women like, I don't fuck with y'all. Especially you wife, for me. Okay, y'all are ruining the earth type shit. Like, for real. And it's actually, yo, it's just refreshing to see. It's refreshing to see that kind of comedy. This is great. Every episode I say, bitch, he's like, you still saying that word?

Well, he don't say, he don't say that. I paid attention to that. He don't say that. What does he say? He doesn't say to B word. I didn't hear him say it. Shit. He didn't say to be words.

He didn't say it. The only time he said the B word was when he was talking about how the women on real housewives talk to each other. I never heard him. Yeah, I'd never heard him refer to a woman as the B word. His whole 20 minutes said. The only time he used the B word is when he was talking like the women from the real housewives in the reality shows. And that's when he used. Other than that, I didn't hear him say the B word.

I thought it was very respectful. I didn't even know who he was. He's really good. You didn't know who Bill Burr was? I don't know these people. Oh, he's amazing. No, he's a beast. He's a fucking amazing.

He's a beast. But, I mean, it's just, it's just good to see, it's just good to see that type of comedy. And you got to see David Tell. Definitely, David Tell was. You didn't know who David Tell was. Oh, you did. I just never saw his stand-up. I know he was.

I mean, just because he's a, you know, a legend in the New York comedy scene. Like, I feel like I've always heard his name since I moved to. He's like the ultimate comics comic. Like, if you ask the comics in New York who their favorite comic is, they're going to say David Tell. If you ask him who they think the best comic is, they're going to say David Tell. And a lot of people now,

like earlier generation he had this like crazy popular show on Comedy Central. He did specials and that kind of stuff. But this generation, like younger, there might not be as familiar with him. But like if you see him live, especially in like an intimate environment,

like there's nothing like it, bro. Shit, he crushed the garden and that shit with back. He's a pro, man. He's, he could do anything. But there's something really special with seeing him at like the cellar. Like when he's fucking on,

it's nothing like it. It's nothing like it. I just like asshole shit. I know y'all all like competitive, but I heard one of the guys say like, yo, he still get butterflies. He's still nervous. Oh, yeah. Everybody does.

Like that. Yeah, you perform at the garden. You're going to feel some nerves. Like, nerves are good. Nerves are what you, I don't know. For me, nerves are what I do it for. Like, I like, I like feeling it. You know, I don't want to be too comfortable.

I want to be nervous enough where it's exciting. And I want to be comfortable enough where I could say whatever the fuck I want. And that's like the balance, trying to find that fucking balance. I think it's a difference between nerves and anxiety. Because I used to always say you can have good anxiety, you can have bad anxiety, but whatever you choose to call it, like, if you're walking on stage at the garden, and it's 20,000 people in front of you, if you don't feel something, I'm going to be like, are you a fucking social?

Yeah, what's wrong with you? You're supposed to feel something. Even if it's not the garden anywhere, if you walk on stage and there's 4,000 people in front of you, you should feel something. The anxiety comes from when you're just sitting around and all of a sudden you feel that shit, like, what the fuck is going on? For something, every football game I felt. Is it really?

It means something to you. No, to some of them I didn't. I was like, where is that extra feeling? I think that's just a drilling. I wanted through your body like that. So wait, did you bring up Colin? No, I didn't want to go on stage. Okay.

Because I was just like, I was like, yo, because I, my mind, I'm like, bro, you all, like, do y'all thing. Like, this is a comic night. You didn't want to do it. I don't want to disrespect the stage. I almost went up there, though. Because a lady, I don't know who the fuck she thought I was, yo. I don't know who she thought I was.

I was standing there. She was like, okay, so you have to introduce this person. You have to do this. And I'm over there like, all right. She was like, okay, so they're about to go up next because they're standing by the stage. I'm like, who the fuck. I put my mask. You know who I am?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. You said you were Carly. No, I didn't say that. That's the lady. She's telling you a muscle check. No. I'm like, who can each even think that I, who do I look like?

I did hear the lady say that. She's like, okay, you're up next. I'm like, huh? I'm like, I'm like, I'm going to go up there. I don't know the fuck to say. I'm just going to be like, I don't know why I'm up here. They told me to come up here. I don't know.

But I can't do what y'all do. It's something unbelievable. The things that y'all do is crazy. It's amazing. I will never ever in my life. You can't disrespect the artist stand-up. It's like you're playing one on 20,000. You know, straight up.

Literally. Like, you can't. And we want to boo you. We want you, Courtney. Because I think corny is so funny. I love it. That's the thing. That is a different, that's a different dynamic.

Like a black show, that's what you enter. And the Apollo really set that. Because the Apollo created this environment where they're going there to boo. So you got to win them over. But like usually stand-up is people want to have a good time. They're paying money so they can laugh, not so they could boo. That's kind of funny too. Bill caught some bulls, though.

Yeah, but they're like purposeful booze. And he's saying it so that they boo and then he'll come over the top. That's right. And then everybody laughs so he breaks the time. That's right. That's right. That's right. I don't kill you.

Say, fuck you. Exactly. Sometimes you got to like establish that, you know? sometimes you've got to let them know that you don't care. That's what the show's going to do. Like, what's your crossover? What's your jump shot? You got to do something like that's kind of dope.

Like, if you really look at comedy, I don't know, I always try to look at comedy outside of just like the words exchange, but like choreography. It's like it's really kind of like a dance, as corny as this might seem, but like it's an energy exchange, you know? And like just because they're giving you what's perceived as negative energy, it doesn't mean as negative. They're giving you something so you can hit that back. It's like a baseball.

It's like a pitcher throwing you something, right? They could throw you something slow. You could hit that out of the park. They could throw you something fast. You hit that out of the park. As long as you do something with the energy that's given, you could flip that. Comedians treat the stage the way people should treat life. And what I mean by that is like, if you get on that stage and you say something, right?

You know you're probably going to get a laugh, but you might be saying something knowing people are going to disagree with it. but you're fine with that because that's your bit. Like when Bill Burr was doing certain jokes, he knows he's going to get a certain reaction. Like it might be a boo. It might be a laugh. It might be a shock and awe. He don't give a fuck because he's getting to his point.

And that's how we all got to be with our opinions. But you can't be afraid to put your opinion out there and have somebody disagree with you. Yes. But in order to have like true mastery, you have to be able to like react according to that energy. If I'm just having a conversation with you and you're not paying any, attention and you're completely toned out, but I keep talking to you, anybody watching that is going to feel really uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because I'm giving so much and you're not giving me anything. Yeah. But if I'm talking to you, and you might not even be saying a single thing, but you're just like, uh-huh, uh-huh, and you're really locked in, people could listen to that conversation because they're like, fuck, okay, he's locked in, I got to be locked in. And I think that's stand-up. Like, in its essence, like you have to get the jokes down. You have to get all these other things.

It's like, you know, working out. You have to understand. We're playing football. You have to know how to work out. You have to have to have all that. But at the end of the day, there's a rhythm to the game. Absolutely. And some people, like, I think they say this with football, like, they have, like, game speed.

Yeah. Or something like that. They're like, they just understand the rhythm of the game. They understand the angles. Some shit you won't even be able to teach them. You know, like, no coaches can be able to teach you. That's it. Even when you're getting ahead, if she's not, like, if there's, I'm not saying nothing at all.

She's like, what the fuck is wrong with you? What? Like, if you're not saying nothing at all? Like, a girl gave you head. You're not like, moaning. What do you say? What do you say when you're getting ahead? What?

I mean, you try to motivate? Like what? Tell me. You just come moaned. How do you moaned? I don't know. You got to say something. You got to motivate.

Herman. So hold on. So you sit there and be quiet while you're getting head. I want to know. I want to know. You got to motivate. What accent do you moan in? Do you speak calling?

You speak calling me. Aye. Aye, mommy. Aye. Get the leche. That'd be funny. We got to have some motivations down it. I want to know what you're saying.

What do you say, man? Yo, what do you? How do you moan, bro? How do you moaned? He'd be like, oh, wax the wax. Why do you keep doing that? Come on. I feel like he moans like DMX.

He don't even moan. He just goes, Wrack so silly. He probably started naming the girls' names. Keisha. Don't want you. Nope. Nope.

Therapy. We put them all in one, baby. One session. You don't know it's all entertainment, man. Come on. I know she do. It's all fun in games. But motivation, you have to have motivation.

You can't just take it all right. How do you motivate? What do you do? But even the, even the girl, if you smash the girls. What do you do to them? Do you just tickle their ear with your dreadlock? No. I never thought about that. You got to give me a head.

You got his dread. There you go. No, what do you do? Just be honest. We've all fake moan to inspire. We understand. That's what I'm saying. How do you fake moan?

I know. I'm fake moan. You have to be. Motivate. How do you affect? This is amazing out every now and then.

Yeah. Oh. You know, you gotta say words? Yeah, you got to. Nah, I don't say words. Oh,

you got, you got really motivated. You ain't really getting the best you you really get. Call on the Lord. Jesus. Oh, shit.

Oh, yeah. Sometimes you have to be like, oh, yeah. Oh, right there. Right.

Ah. What? What? What if a girl just laid there? No motivation for you. He's like, you're pumping. Like, you still getting pussy.

Oh, that don't matter. That don't matter. No, Matt. What? Oh, I thought you meant when you were giving a girl, hey. You could pump the silence? Can't pump the silence. I can't pump the silence.

And if I'm down there and if I don't hear anything, I'll quit. Man, stop. I'm popping up. No, we got? No motivation. No, because neither of us enjoy this. So we just move on. My body language talks, too, right?

What body language? I'm down here. That's all I'm seeing his left. Are you wanting a little bit of moan and some pain? That's it. Mone. You need a laugh. And, and, you need a laugh.

instant comedy. You need laughs. I need a reaction. Yeah. No, that's true. Audience matters. That's basically what you're saying. That's what I was saying. I need audience feedback.

Audience feedback matters. Yeah. We need that little clap machine from like the late night shows. No, no, no, I don't want that. That's whack. I like the natural reaction. You know what's so crazy? I wasn't going to have a live audience for my talk show that premieres this Friday at 10 p.m.

Oh, me. And, you know, I rehearsed, you know, I was rehearsing the show without an audience, whatever, whatever. and I'm watching the tape back. And I'm like, nah, bro, this ain't it. The energy, you know what I'm saying? And so I'm like, yo, let's bring our audience in. We bought an audience in. And it's just like, it's different.

Yeah, energy is definitely different. You know, it's just different. But to your point, it's not even like, because I'm not a comedian, so I'm not trying to make anybody laugh. It's just like what you want those like, oh shit, I never thought of that. Like, oh, you know what I mean? You just want that reaction. It just makes everything that much better.

You've completely flipped on this. I'm glad. Because you should be against it. So radio is different, right? But by the way, maybe radio in radio, maybe you are getting an audience and you don't realize it, but your audience is in real time because you might be looking at social media.

Your audience is in real time because people call the radio. But back in the day, you didn't want the live audience for the show. I remember you telling me because you didn't want people playing for the audience. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You wanted a real conversation between people and you want that person, if they say something funny to make you laugh, not just pandering to whatever the crowd. Absolutely.

And I agree with you. I think you can lose conversation. I think a lot of times, like, if you even see late night shows, when someone's up there, it's almost like the host is going, so what is your joke about Afghanistan? And then the person goes, here's my joke about Afghanistan. And they're almost performing for the audience. It's not real conversation.

Yeah, that's all. But, no, it's good. You got to have audience. I think it depends what the show is. We don't have one right now. People watch this for hours. But, yeah, they're riding and they're listening and they laughing. It just depends what it is.

Like, this is conversational. Yeah, yeah. I mean, and I think sometimes people want that companion in their car. When they're on these long rides, it just feels like they're not alone. You know what else I think it is? It's like, I think it's weird. What I think is good about this is right now we have five people in this room, right? So it's just homies hanging out.

Like everybody's laughing. It's fun. It's just like a friend group, right? You're just chilling. The problem with filming TV shows is even if it's three of us on camera, there's 40 people that are just back there behind the camera, sound guys, whatever. And they're told not to react. Oh, no, I fuck with everybody.

No, it's good, but like, production goes, hey, we don't want to ruin a take, so make sure you don't laugh. So it almost feels like you're bombing or the combo isn't interesting, right? Because you got 40 people staring at you like you're speaking a different language. Absolutely, absolutely. So what they did, I remember Joel McHale did that show, the soup. Do you guys remember that show? Yeah, on E.

Only, the soup was so dope because you know what they said? Yo, everybody, if you find something funny, just laugh. That's right. The cameraman's laughing. The guy with the sound is laughing. Like, everybody on set is laughing. And then it felt like a fucking podcast. It felt like five friends in a room.

Let's go. Just busting balls about whatever happened and talk shows. That's right. I love it. I talk to the producers. I talk to them. Yeah. You know what I mean?

During the show. During the show? Good. Why not? I love it. I mean, those are elements that I like. Like, when I'm watching Wendy Williams, daytime show, I like when she's talking to the people off camera. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Just because, like, break the wall. Break the wall. Yeah. Yeah. Be comfortable, too. And it makes you feel like you're not really doing a show. You're just kicking it.

And that's what you ultimately want. There was a, when we were doing Dallas, Dallas is this, just this massive venues, like a fucking, like a arena kind of, right? And the venue is so big that they put a guy on an IMAG camera, which basically there's a guy holding a camera videotaping me and then I'm on screens on the side so that the people that are way in the back can see me big. And I had like instinctually to address him because I can't just have this motherfucker in the front row. Yeah. just standing there the whole time and act like he's not there. Like for me, so I could be comfortable.

And I think something about addressing and made everybody else go, okay, we all have acknowledged he's there. Now we can move on. Let's do it. And I think there's something about that when you're filming a TV show

just acknowledging that it's like a TV show and that there are people here, not pretending. And it's so much better. Yes, it's a goddamn TV show. It's fine. Man, we live in an age of transparency. When does people realize that?

What did I say? Are you saying, can you say that? Man, shut up, man. We live in an age of a age of. He's a transparency. Come on. Is that really a word? Yeah.

Transparency is a word. But what is it transparent? That's someone who doesn't have kids, but they identify as a parent. Come on. Is that? Transparent. That's when someone doesn't have kids, but they identify as a parent. Yes.

Exactly. You're really not a parent, like a stepfather. Man, what are you talking about? A stepfather is a transparent. What are you talking about? What? Stepmom is a transparent. Your uncle would act like he's an uncle, but he really smashing a mom.

Absolutely. Yo, the crazy part is. Technically, Jesus. No, he can't do that for Jesus. He's our father. He's our father. God is our father. Oh, fuck.

Yeah, God is our father. You know what's so crazy about that? There is a young woman. There's a young woman out here that's looking for a stepdaddy, which I thought was dope. Ooh. Yeah. Brittany. That's right.

I thought that's dope. Brenner, not the other brink. I thought Grindr. What? Grindr is your favorite social media app. No. No, Brittany grinder. Oil up your ankles, let your Tim's tap, whack.

Listen. Is that a young A-ma? I don't know what that is. It's not really a Britney Grindr out here? No, Grindr is a basketball player, right? No, Grindr is a website for gay guys to have sex. But Britney Grindriner is a basketball player, right? It's got to be a basketball player, right?

The girl. Brittany Griner. No, what's her name? What's the? Grindr is a website for gay guys have sex. Brittany Griner is a WMBA player. And Britney Renner is a thief. And she out here looking.

She's a thief, which I don't have a problem with. I didn't like, I like you, she said. I ain't mind what she said. She's looking for love. I ain't that what she said. Well, a stepdad is not love. Why not? If I got it.

That's looking for a babysitter for your kid. If you say I'm looking for love, then they end up being a step daddy. Yeah. She said, I'm looking for a stepfather. She knows what she wants. She knows exactly what she wants. At least she's up front. Yeah, she needs a man to be in her child's life.

I don't see the problem. Yeah, I got to stop making this girl famous, man. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Like, you just got to let her talk into the void. This is bad that you want women to look up to this? You want women to look at this as a way out? No, I'm not saying that.

No, I'm not. Everybody rewarding this. No, not this video's okay. She's not the first. She's not the first, but we're rewarding what she's doing. And then also don't do that. And then, not before what she did. With this video right here, I don't mind this.

What did she do? I didn't even hear it, to be honest. Before she said, no, she said. I just saw the headline. I didn't even hear. What did she say? I didn't even see shit. I was fucking.

Taylor early. Then you know I was talking about her. Tail out here looking for a stepdaddy. And she was like, and Taylor was like, I don't got no kids. And I was like, I just thought my son. I don't even know what I'm talking about. She got pregnant by his basketball player, had the kid and then broke up with him and then divorced him. And then I guess she's getting the check now for it. So with a stepdaddy coming to play at. Now she wants a new stepdaddy.

Yeah. So she's saying with this guy right here, I'm going to let you take the kids. I'm let you be a father to your kid. I'm out the way. I'm no threat at all. I got mine. I'm like. So I don't get it. What's the problem? So how is he a stepdad for his own kids? No, she wanted a stepdad because them two not together no more.

So she said two things. One thing she said is the baby daddy that she has, hey, you're free to do whatever you want. I'm no longer a threat. Girls can come into your life. It's all good. And she's now looking for a stepdaddy for her child now. Taylor, can I hear it? I can't listen to these Britney whispers.

I need it. Can I hear it? Hey, y'all! It's officially stepdaddy season. Hey! What up. I know a lot of you are skeptical about talking to people with children, but I can assure you, the baby mama is now, today, we don't give a damn. You can have them. I have exited the rat race.

I am not a threat. I want you to be around for a long time, not a good time. You can hold my son, put him on your story. I trust his judgment. I really do. I really, really do. I just want you guys to be happy. I swear, I do. Now, I'm not a threat, but, you know, I can't see. speak for the other, other, other, other hos that you don't know about. You know, maybe all the Debbie in your favor. But I am here for it, okay? Like, people move on, save the, you should have got the ring first. It wasn't going to work out anyways.

It just wasn't going to work out. Let's laugh together and let's raise this baby, you know? She's saying wrong. That's what I said. What she ain't saying that wrong? I completely misinterpreted what she was saying. Because you didn't watch it either. You saw her head and just like I did.

I watched it. That's the problem. I watched it. You did? I watched the whole thing on multiple Instagram accounts. What did she say wrong? What did she say wrong? Nothing.

But when I watched it, I thought she was talking about what she wants. She wants a baby. She wants a step daddy to do all these things. And she's like, I don't care. My kid can sit on your lap. I don't care all these other things. And I'm just like, but she's actually talking about. The father.

Yeah, the father. And I was like, wow, that's actually like a really cool way to look at a relationship. That's what I said. This girl is awesome. This is great. Explain it to me now. I'm lost a little bit. Okay, what I thought she was talking about is her getting a stepdaddy

and how the stepdaddy could have her kids sit on his lap and you're going to be part of the life and I'm not going to stress it. She's judgment and stuff like, no, she's talking about her ex, her baby daddy. Got you. And that kind of stuff. And then she threw a little shade with the, I don't know about his other hose, which almost makes me feel like the reason why she broke up is that he had other hose. So it might be his fault while he got in this situation in the first place.

She, you know, she might have been faithful, found out about other hoses. He was like, oh, no, I got a kid now. You got to be faithful. I don't speak this whole shit like I used to because I still lost in what. I mean, what she's saying makes sense, whatever it is she's talking about. I think what she said actually makes sense. Yeah, I wouldn't mind that situation. Yeah, I think a lot of people with a baby mama would wish that their baby mama would look at like this.

I took it as she's a woman with children. And if you're a man who has children, she don't mind connected with you. Like, she's not, because a lot of women say, I don't want a guy with kids. I don't want a guy with kids. A lot of guys, I don't want a woman with kids. She's just talking about her baby with children. She's just talking about her baby daddy. And she's like, yo, you're basically, you can go get other girls.

And I'm not going to be a threat to those girls. And if he trusts you around our baby, then great. You could have the baby on your lap. I trust you too. Oh, but that's how I should be, right? That's what I said. This is about to trap another one. This girl is brilliant.

Yes. What a genius. She's laying a perfect trap. That's exactly what she's doing. Now another dude is like, man, I should definitely fuck with this girl. This girl's cool. I need some money to be cool like this. Why I got to get the money anyway?

Maybe she's just fun. No, no, no, no. If you could get somebody like that, if you got to give the money anyway, and she's cool like that, there we go. Why, I have to deal with the rest of the bullshit. Yeah.

She's not a threat. She knows what she's doing. She's going to have multiple max contracts. She's got like five, six baby fathers. Yeah. Just collecting like Thanos. And she's giving them back to you. I have your baby, give it back to you,

give you the money. Whatever you need, yeah. That's all she's doing. Wow. She's having a baby for you and give it back. Hopefully you have a boy. I mean, some guys are girls. She's like a surrogate.

You know, like rich people like pay a woman to have their kid and they take the kid back. Like the Kardashians, I think. I think Kim did it. Right? So, yeah, that's what she could do for. She's like a surrogate for NBA players. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah, with no problems. I'm sure a lot of NBA players got a lot of crazy baby moms. Oh, yeah, of course. Taking their money, go digging on. And still holding a baby for collateral. Nah. Can't do that. Good job, miss.

Well, good job, young lady. You feel like you did, you put something good in the ecosystem. She did. Taylor, what? You don't have nothing to say about this, Taylor. We should say wrong. Okay, well, tell us. Now, watch how silly this time.

Microphone. Your time to shine. Taylor, go get it. Come on. Taylor, get it. Just go sit, stand right next to out. Because, see, this is what happened. Real quick, quick.

This is what happens in a situation like this. They have a preconceived notion about her? No. So they're not really comprehending what she's saying. They're not being objective. I'm not mad at what she's saying. Okay, that's cool. I'm saying how you're saying that she's a stare at it.

I don't get, why you're saying she's giving the baby. back. That's what she said. She said, I'll give the baby back. You can have them as much as you want to. I'm what you're here for a good time. I'm thinking she's a long time. She's an incubator.

No, I'm thinking she's talking about how you, what you guys just says, the baby, if the baby dad wants to date other girls and stuff like, she's not the threat to them. Yes, she's not a threat to them. But why are you saying she's a surrogate? I don't understand that. Well, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't understand either. So I try to make things funny.

No, because she said that I don't understand either. She said that I said that. I'm going to sit there and have your baby, and I'm going to still give you your baby have as much time as you want and everything. A lot of other baby moms get your money and keep your kid away from you. Oh, I see what you're saying.

Not giving no time. Yeah. I'm going to let you give you the kid and all that type of stuff. A lot of baby moms I know keep the baby baby moms. One language wax speaks fluently as baby mama. You know baby mama. That was amazing.

That's a cool baby mom. That was a cool baby mom. I mean, I don't know what she was really saying. I couldn't really understand, but it sounded cool. I didn't feel threatened. Can we talk about the other big separation? She wasn't a threat. Stephen A and Max?

Oh, that was crazy. We had Stephen A on this morning, actually. Oh, really? Yeah, he was on Breakfast Club this morning. And did you ask him about it while he fired the white man? He said that, you know, he told Max a long time ago that, you know, me and you have a ceiling. He said, me and you got a ceiling. He said he just knew him and Max had a ceiling.

I mean, I'm not mad at that. And he was like, yo, sometimes you got to, you know, freshen things up. And Max going to get his own show. And I think he's doing a, he's on the radio show at Keishon Johnson every morning nationally syndicated. And he's still doing it. the boxing thing. Like Stephen, they said, your, Max is... No, Max is good.

Oh, God, at ESPN. What do you think? What do you think the issue was? I think that they just didn't get along. I mean, listen, no, let me take that back. I don't want to say it. I can't put words in them. I can't put my feelings and project things on them. I don't know what the issue was. I just think sometimes you know that you and a person have a good working relationship, and sometimes you know that you and that person not going to be working together forever. It's just really that simple. Sometimes you get chemistry with somebody and you, like,

we're going to ride this thing until the wheels fall off. Sometimes you got something with somebody that's working for the moment, but you know, you might go into work every day and your energy drops. You know? There's a guy who pops up on, like, YouTube and Twitter a lot. Ben Shapiro. Do you know Ben Shapiro? Yes, of course.

You've heard of him. And basically, his biggest clips on the internet are when he's, like, dunking on, like, some college kid. Some college kid that he's given a conversation at a college school, raise his hand, he'll be like, yeah, but we need to make sure that feminism is here for whatever. And then he'll just dunk on this kid who's just like kind of uneducated. And those clips go fucking viral. Stephen A. Smith is best with a Skip Bayliss because he needs someone to dunk on.

And Max is too logical to dunk on. Like Max is coming at it as an actual journalist, not an entertainer. Skipin A, uh, Skip Aalist is an entertainer. I'm just going to say the craziest shit that will be entertaining. And then Stephen A gets to go, you're an idiot. How the hell could you possibly think that? I'm going to dunk all over you, you college kid who's saying silly shit. And I think the problem was Stephen A couldn't dunk all over Max's comments because they were too logical and precise.

The problem is we don't want logical and precise. Skip Bayliss went over there and was talking with Shannon. And all of a sudden, all of us were like, that's way more entertaining. We think that's way more entertaining. How are you paying? Yeah. Just argue, debate. It's brilliant idiots.

People would rather brilliant idiots than just brilliant. Yeah, I hate that. Say this stupid and the smart shit. I mean, I think with Steven... Medicine and the candy. For me, though, with Stephen, I think Stephen A, I think Stephen is so consistent with everybody. Like, I like seeing Stephen A regardless of who he's on there with.

Like, Stephen A is the focal point of first take. Now, when Skip Bayless was there, it was different. It was two alphas. And I'm not saying Max's not an alpha because Max is really dope. But, I mean, we're watching for Stephen A, you don't think? No, we watch for Skip. And the reason that... Really?

We thought we watched for Stephen A. All of us watched it. I like Stephen A. No, Stephen A's amazing. He's incredible. And we thought we watched it just for Stephen A, right? Skip left. We started watching Skip's new show.

They got a replacement for Skip. We weren't watching first take as much anymore. The numbers went down. So that shows me that Skip was the one that was entertaining, even if he was the one getting dunked on. He was the person in the dunk tank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do we watch that dunk tank thing for the person throwing it or for the person falling into water?

Yeah. Skip was falling in the water. water. And he was willing to fall in the water every single time. And Stephen A was great at hitting that fucking target. He's masterful. He's so entertaining to watch. He's so entertaining to listen to and he's got really good points. He's got great connections. He can't have two people go on the ball. You need somebody in the dunk tank. But at the end of the day, we need someone in the dunk tank. And Max was hard to dunk because he's coming through logical and research. Skip is just going, fuck LeBron.

LeBron will never be as good as Michael Jones. And Max is coming in there. Well, technically, you know, in this season, LeBron did average less, and he had these shooters around him, and Stephen A's like, fuck all these facts, bro. Say some dumb shit so I could put you in a dunk tank. I get what you saying. So we'll see if he gets that person. I like, but there's a lot of people I like on first thing. I love when Stephen A and Kendrick Perkins are together. I like, you know, Perk goes for it.

Perk is no joke. I love Big Perk, man. Big Perk is great. Big Perk is dope. Because he goes for it. Yeah, and he's smart. And he's logical. And he knows the game. I don't think, but here's the thing. I don't think Skip Bayless is illogical. He just has wild-ass takes. sometimes. He is, he will say whatever the most salacious thing to say. Nah, I think that he just, I think that his salacious takes are, are huge. But every day,

when you, when you listen to Skip every day, he's got some points. Is this that when he says, you know, LeBron's not great or, uh, what was another one that he had that was so wild? He's religious. Yeah, Michael Jordan is his God. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Absolutely. Absolutely. So it's like, if you're religious, you believe that Jesus is God. Amen. And then another religion. could come on and be like, no, no, no, we believe this guy's God. And then you look at them like, you must be crazy. Yeah.

I know who God is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the phone last night. This guy's nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think what we love about that is it, yeah, with all religions, they're going to say some things we all agree with. They're going to make, don't kill people, don't hurt people, like, okay, you want to

something. I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to tell you why you got to give Stephen A lot of props. Everybody doesn't work with Skip Bayless. Yeah. Like, meaning everybody you put across from. Skip Bayless will not work with Skip Bayless.

Stephen A chose. Everybody works with Stephen A. Yeah. He's the best. He's the best. He's the best. Yeah, Shannon Sharp is dope. But Shannon and Skip worked together.

Yeah, it's dope. That's not, Skip, Skip worked with Stephen. Shannon, who else have you seen? Skip with. Stephen A is the person that gets you over. Remember in wrestling they had that term, like, you know, a Rick Fleg can get you over. A.

Hulk Hoke can get you over. I watched, and I thought it was masterful. I watched Stephen A and Michael Irvin last week. Yeah. And I watched Stephen adjust his game because he know Michael Irvin was going to be the Right, right, right, row, right, right, right. Stephen fell back. Stephen turned it down.

I asked him about it today. I said, you, I watched you in Mike last week because, you know, Mike, I think Mike only on there Mondays. And I said, I watch you turn your bomb down on purpose. Because I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it from a talent perspective, but also mechanics. And he explained, yes, that was purposeful because I know what Mike is coming with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the skill unto itself, bro.

You know how to dress. That's right. Understanding the energy. That's right. Stephen is, though. I mean, I- The girls start moaning like crazy. You start smashing harder.

Oh, God. Right. Okay. Can we pay some bills? Because I got to pee. Can we pay some bills? More motivation. Guys, this episode has been brought to you

So go to Mental Wealthexpo.com. And talk space, it's not too late to come on as a sponsor, but go to Mental Wealthexpo.com. It's free and open to the public. What you got for church announcements, just wax, Schultz? Who's going? Go for a wax. I got my who's wax and stores in L.A. I got my new drop coming.

I got my new bag coming. So you still go ahead and get the old bag is in a bunch of stores out there. I'm in six stores in Jersey. Whatever, whewswax.net, go look at the stores and see if you're close by that area or if not order it, whosewax. Dot net, you know what I'm saying? Amazing, man. Yeah.

And also the chargers. Yes, the rush charger. Oh, man, I'm charging my phone right now. It's really dope. I got one. It's crazy that I'm using a rush charger, the charger rush charger. You know what I'm saying? That's how dope this really is.

man, I need to go to rushcharge.com and it'll purchase this. It's really dope. I love it. Wireless. Also, check out the infamous tour. I'm filming my special this Sunday Monday in Austin, Texas. Very excited about that, man.

Thank you, everybody who bought tickets to those shows and it's going to be there supporting. That's just, you know, mad love. Thank you so much. Austin is what you're doing the special, right? Yeah. When is it, what's the date? Sunday and Monday.

God damn, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How long as, how much longer? We keep saying we're going. I'm going to do it. I just got a couple loose ends to tell you. What you got?

What you got? I'll tell you all in a second. Hopefully after this week, I mean, you know, the TV show, TV show premieres Friday, and, you know, we just here, man.

We just... What's going on? I'm going on. I wait. I'm a wait. I'll wait. I bet. But yeah, infamous tour.

Go check it out, man. We got a bunch of new shows that we added the Andrewsshaltz.com. You can get tickets to all those shows, and we added more shows in different venues, so go get that. And also, anybody coming to the show in Austin, just know that you either have

to be Vax or have a negative COVID test. So make sure you have our Vax or the negative COVID test. You can talk to the venue about the specifics, but just make sure you have either of those. Go get it ahead of time. Just fucking do it. These are the rules. Make sure you do it. And I have a list of all the rules for all the other venues. But most of them, some of them don't have that. but most of them are one of the other. And I like that. I like the, because, like, it doesn't force people to get vaccinated.

I kind of don't like that. If it's only Vax, I like the fact that people have the opportunity to just show that they're not, they don't have COVID with the test. I think that that's fair. It allows people to be free and make their own choice

without making anybody else unsafe or sick. So I like that. Are you in their Vax, though? I don't give a fuck. No. I've had COVID and I've been vaccinated. So I'm a fucking super. hero.

Okay? Bring it on. I will say this, when we were at the garden on Sunday, from what I was told, everybody there was vaccinated. That's what they said. Even the audience. I don't think that's fair. I think that it does provide a different level of security.

I'm not going to make you feel better. Everybody around it on mass. I don't know who provides a different level of security, but it makes you feel better. That's less secure. That's what I was asking. You think so? People that are vaccinated can still get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

People who took a test that says they don't have it. Yeah. don't have it. That's the safest thing. You know, yo, that's so interesting you say that because remember there was this thing

you ain't got it, you ain't got it. If you really cared about safety, you'd be like, yo, I need everybody to have a negative test. But that is unrealistic because it takes so much time

to get these tests turned over, et cetera. So you go, okay, vaccinated or that, and I think that that's a safe option. It doesn't force anybody to do anything that they don't want.

Yeah, you know, it's so interesting. We were having a discussion last week about Jimmy Kim. Well, everybody took Jimmy totally out of context, by the way. You know what I mean?

including us on the breakfast club because I thought what Jimmy was talking about was if you're vaccinated and you know you're sick and you need an ICU bed you should get it over somebody who took the horse whatever thing

right? If somebody that's against vaccinations but decided to take the horse to wormer right? Because think about it if you're like I don't want the vaccine but I'll put this in my body whatever it is right so yeah I mean I still think it's unethical for doctors to pick and choose like that. But he's a comedian.

He's not a doctor. He's just trying to be funny. And then, yeah, go. But no, but I was saying this is my thing, right? Because everybody, because it turned into this discussion, like if you're vaccinated, you should get an ICU bed over somebody that's unvaccinated. So I say, I ask a simple question. Well, let's say I'm a surgeon.

You're vaccinated. But we do a COVID test on you and you're positive. Uh-oh. But this person's unvaccinated. I do a COVID test on him and he's negative. what do I do then? Well, I think that the bed is for someone who's suffering from COVID.

But it's just surgery. Because everybody was moving to goalposts. They was like, wait, what if you're having surgery or what if you're in there for this? It's a car accident. Like, it gets different things. Oh, if it has nothing to do with COVID, then you just got to take them both at face value

and whoever got there first, you got to do the surgery. But I think what he was saying is like he wouldn't want to give up a COVID bed for someone that chose not to get vaccinated when there was someone who got vaccinated, they took the risk of vaccination, and they still ended up being in a position where they needed to be hospitalized.

I think that's kind of backwards, though. Because if I gave you the vaccination, you should be okay. If I didn't, that means you need more assistance. And most people that get it, even if they're vaccinated, are okay. It's very rare that there are any kind of situations that. I think it's interesting because I was looking up some,

I was looking up some, like, medical scenarios, and we do prioritize patients. Yeah. Like, for example, if you need a new, like, heart or lungs, if you're a drug user or, you know, an alcoholic or something like that, you get pushed down the list of priority. They won't prioritize you. That's how insurance do. If you're smoking insurance, they ask you if you a smoker, do you have diabetes and stuff like that? Your insurance thing is going to go out.

But I guess here's a perfect example of, like, the choices you make in your life affect the medical treatment that you get. You chose to abuse alcohol or drugs, and therefore you're not going to get the first heart that comes up. You're not going to get the first lung or liver that comes up. Don't anybody want you to live either. That's fact. This is useless. That's why you need a new one. You can't.

So I guess maybe... Unless it's tasty. That alcohol marinated that liver for the years. You never know. It's like, see, get some waggew right there, bro. That's some good shit. But yeah, so, I mean, look, there is some... There is some...

It's so much nuance with all of this stuff. It's like, you'll stop putting yourselves in corners. Yeah. Because the logic makes no sense. If you're a doctor who's turning people away for whatever reason because they're unvaccinated, what do you do when you run across a vaccinated person who test positive for COVID? Yeah. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Like that makes no sense. You're just going to lead them hanging because you said you're going to operate on the vaccinated. Yeah, we got to call them daywalkers or something like that. They're like blade, bro. That's fire, man. I'm looking at these texts. People that text me about, you know, we're going to be.

We were talking about the Joy Ann Reed, Nikki Menade situation this morning. Nikki's so tight, she didn't get invited. That's what that was, right? She didn't get invited to the Met, right? Well, I look at it bigger. I mean, you know, you can, like, Nikki, here's the thing. Nikki has some vaccine hesitancy, right? Yeah, that's fine.

But Nikki, Nikki talked about having COVID. Nikki talked about, you know, her and Drake having a conversation and Drake telling her, hey, I caught COVID too and I'm vaccinated, right? Very next tweet, Nikki talks about her. her cousin in Trinidad. We all got somebody, a family member friend who's got some wild conspiracy theory. And I don't even know the conspiracy theory. She talked about her cousin and Trinidad who said, hey, I took the vaccine.

Now I'm impotent. My ball swole up and, you know, my wife left me, which I laugh. I'm not going to lie. I laughed at that tweet so much. First of all, you know how I know it was true? You know how I know it was true? You don't repeat something like that if somebody didn't really tell you that. I wouldn't have repeated it.

You're making that one up. Right? You're not making that one up. But then the very next tweet after that, Nikki goes, hey, I'm probably going to end up getting vaccinated to go on tour. Right? Then she started posting about, you know, which vaccine has been the most effective. She did a poll.

The poll yesterday when I saw it the poll had like a quarter million votes. And what they say is the best. I don't remember what they do. Doctors do say modern is the best against, especially against a Delta variant. Now, Joy Ann Reid must not have saw all of Nikki's tweets. So she got on MSNBC And, you know, she kind of got at Nikki, you know what I mean? Is her producer fault?

I mean, I don't know who's fault is. I don't know if anybody's at fault, but she kind of got at Nikki and said that Nikki's encouraging people not to get the vaccine. And Nikki is. Spreading misinformation. No, she's not. No, she's not. How when she specifically said, I'm going to get the vaccine when I go on told her?

She doesn't have balls. What do you mean? Her balls didn't swell up. She doesn't have any balls to swell up. But she's repeating something somebody told her. Like, we all do. If Tom Hanks went on TV and said, hey, listen, I got vaccinated, but both of my testicles just fell out of my body. Do you think anybody is going to get vaccinated?

Now, if Tom Hanks gets on TV and says, hey, I know somebody who got vaccinated who told me their balls fell out of their body. And Nikki actually said, but yo, go do your own research. Nicky never once discouraged people from getting the vaccine. Why is she sharing all this? I guess that. The same way we all do. For what, though? I don't know.

Maybe she really wanted to know. She put up a point. Here's the thing. You can't knock people for how they do their own research. You don't think. That's her people on Twitter. She posted that poll asking people what's the best vaccine. I sure they want to know.

Mad people were voting. Oh, I took Pfizer. I took Moderna. I did this. I did this. See, this is what Joanne Reese said to Nikki. For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives as a fan, I'm so sad that you did that.

But Nikki never did that. Yes, yeah. No, she did not. Intentionally. Unintentionally. I don't think so. How when the very next tweet was, I'm going to get vaccinated on tour. You know what? This is what I would have did if I was doing. I didn't say intentionally. I said unintentionally.

I don't think. By sharing those tweets, what do you think the most shared tweet of all that is? It's the one about the balls. Not the one where it's like, I'm going to get it. But even in that tweet, she specifically said at the end, I don't know what's going on. Just do your own research. Yeah, that doesn't discredit the balls. She didn't say the vaccine is causing people to be impotent. She said, I got a cousin who took the vaccine, who told me after he took the vaccine, he became impotent and his boss swore up. Yeah. Who, like, why? This is what I would have done if I was Julianne. Right?

That's the opposite of impotence. What do you mean? Right. It's your balls. No, but your balls are like so full with sperm because you haven't fucked. You're like, you really want to fuck. So that's what impotent mean? Impetent means you can't get hard.

Listen. So your balls probably got sore because you kept trying to jerk and kept punching his balls. Listen, we live in a world in narrative. If I'm Julianne Reed and my narrative is I want to get people to get the vaccine, I'm going to read Nikki's tweets. I'm going to get on my race. I'm going to get on my race. I'm going to get on my TV show.

Yeah. I'm going to say, hey, you know, Nikki Minaj, you know, said some interesting things about the vaccine today. She said her cousin said X, Y, and Z. Then you know what I'll do? There's been no, you know, proof of the vaccine causing impotence. Then I would have said, but Nikki also said she's getting the vaccine when she goes on tour. And Nikki also said, Drake, the biggest rap in the world right now, who has nine out of the top ten songs, also has the vaccine. So what are you waiting on to get the vaccine?

If Nikki's getting in when she goes on tour and Drake is. vaccinated now. What are you waiting on to get the vaccine? She just wanted to bring her down. You're expecting the media to be fair. Not even just fair. If you're pushing the, like right now you know what Joy did with this? What she did was

she put out some information that's not even true. So if I didn't hear what Nikki said or read Nikki's tweets in my mind, I'm thinking oh, Nikki Minaj is anti-vaccine. You know what I mean? She's talking bad about it. She could have controlled the narrative by saying Drake got the vaccine. Yeah. Nikki's going to get the vaccine.

What are y'all waiting on to get it? She's got a job. They all have a job. I don't know why we expect the media to be honest. The media's job is to sell the story that they're told to sell. Someone who goes, Joy, this is what you got to do today. Brian Seltter, whatever the guy's name is, this is what you got to do today. Get people to get vaccinated and say what?

ClickBee. That's not how you get people to get vaccinated. So if you're trying to get people to get vaccinated, you let people know. No, Drake got the vaccine. Dude, they don't get, like if they were good at it, then. we wouldn't know what they're up to. They're not good at it. They're fucking horrible.

I don't think, I think, I think joy is, these are idiots. I think joy is good at what she does. This is what I think happens sometime. We always end up getting diverses we don't need. Yeah. You know what I mean? It always turns into somebody versus somebody. Why?

Because it sells. Why can't we just sit back and correct someone? If I saw, I saw what Nikki said, I laughed. It's the simple, yo, there's no proof that you. You know, the vaccine is causing people to be impotent and causing people's balls to well up. Yeah. But, Nikki, I am glad that you're getting the vaccine to go on tour. Yo, I think it's dope that Drake got the vaccine.

You know what I mean? Yes, it's true. That vaccines aren't yours. People with the vaccine can still get it. But it keeps you from getting, you know, sick or even being fatal. All I'm simply saying is the headline should be, Drake got the vaccine. If you're trying to promote a vaccine, Drake is the big, Drake has nine out of the top 10 songs in the country. She needs ratings, bro.

We're talking about her right now. I don't even know who this woman is. I never seen it before either. Jim, you've met Joy. I did. I'm sorry, Joy. I'm sorry, man. But that's the thing.

Like, they understand what sells, and they got to sell advertisement. They got bounty commercials that they got to cut to, and they got to sell them fucking paper towels, and that's what they got to do. So if trashing Nikki Minaj is the way that they sell those things, sure, what I find it interesting is the timing for Nikki to come out with these things. I, and maybe she was invited and just chose not to go,

or maybe she was invited just by herself. Oh, no, they asked her what? Why? They asked her why she didn't, because she pulled out of the VMAs. Yeah. And she didn't go to the Met Gallery. They asked her why.

She said, because I had COVID. Oh, she said she had COVID. Oh, I thought she didn't get invited. And then she was just like, she pulled out of the VMAs. She was supposed to perform with some of them to the VMAs. And everybody was like, damn, she pulled out. And Nikki said the day before she was like,

I think somebody retweeted something like, oh, Nikki's decided to pull out, whatever, whatever. And Nikki was like, man, I tell y'all while later. And she was like, I went out, shot a video. And I ended up catching COVID. She was like, do you know how it feels to not be around your newborn baby for a week and some change?

Nah, that's fucked up. Yeah. And she was like, yo, I'm not popping up at the MTV Awards of the VMAs again. And she's not backs. And then she said she started talking about how I'll probably get Vax when I go out on tour. And she talked about how she was having a conversation

with Drake. And Drake said, hey, I'm vaccinated. And I still call COVID. So in her mind, she's like, man, fuck that. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all it was.

It's just a skill. I hate social media sometimes because literally stuff like this happens when all we got to do is just have a simple conversation doing his job. Yeah, but we don't want the conversation. We want the entertainment, maybe. Confrontation.

People don't want conversation. They want confrontation. And I don't like that no more. I'm tired of all of these verses we don't need. I don't want to see Joey versus Nikki Minaj on my timeline. Yeah, I don't even make no sense. I don't want to see that. But like, Nikki's coming, calling her all type of names

and everything. I was just like, oh, all this is too much. Like, stop. Man, come on, man. Don't hurt each other for no reason. But no reason. Everybody just. But I understand why Nikki was frustrated.

I totally understand why she's being painted as something that she doesn't believe she is. Absolutely. And, you know, she's having like select tweets being taken out and used against her. And that's fucking annoying. We've all gone through that. Yeah, that's like having an argument with your girl. She only listened to words, not the sentence. Yes.

Yes, it sucks. Yes. Buzzwords. Yeah, only the things is, if she wants you to sound good, she only gets the good words. She wants you to sound bad. She'd go after all the bad words. Yes, salute to joy and reading Nikki Minaj. What else we got, Taylor?

What else we got Taylor, gang? Oh, salute the academics, too, man. There was a clip floating around because I think the BET award. Fill up those BET nominations, Taylor. Those BET nominations. Long story short, BET put out some type of awards, and they have Best Hip Hop Platform. And I think nominated for Best Hip Hop Platform was like Shade Room, World Star,

Complex, Genius. breakfast club and somebody else Oh, Hot New Hip Hop Hot New Hip Hop, slew to Hot New Hipop and you know we were talking about it

on Breakfast Club and they were asking you know, we were asking like, you know, who do we think? Oh, there it goes. Best Hip Hop Platform. Complex genius,

hip hop DX, Hot New Hipop, Breakfast Club, The Shade Room, World Star and Double XL. And they was like, yo, who do you think should win?

And Envy said academics. At first I said Hot New Hipop Hipop, then NBC said academic and me, NBC said, oh shit, academics. Yes, academics. Yes, academics should absolutely positively win.

He's the best hip hop platform. You know, N. v. and Angela was like, over us. I'm like, yes. And I tell you why. I think Breakfast Club is one of the biggest platforms. We cover a multitude of things. You know what I mean? Are we rooted in hip-hop?

Yeah, we all come from hip-hop. DJ and v. Angeloly, Shal mean, the God, we all come from hip-hop. You know what I mean? We talk to hip-hop artists, but we also talk to politicians and we also talk to spiritual advisors. And we also talk to, you know, people in the mental health and the mindfulness space.

When I want to know what's going on in hip hop, you go to academics. I go to academics page. Me too, bro. Me too. It's the first thing I do. He's like, come on. He's hip hop TMZ.

Yo, Tyler the creator was on Hot 97. Think about this. Tyler the creator was on Hot 97 and said the biggest hip hop platform is academic. That's where he goes for his hip-hop music. Because academics is where we are most of the day. We're not on the radio most of the day, right? We are on Instagram most of the day. Yo, most of the people that academics is covering,

we're not playing on the radio. Most of the people of academics is covering, we're not even interviewing. For some reason, I know who Coyleray is. We've never interviewed Coyleray. I know about her. I know Coil-Leray because-Loy-Lay because Nile is her DJ. Ah.

Yeah, my niece Nile is her DJ. South-N-Alanlan. You know, but I go to academics for hip-hop, and I think that, you know, it comes a point in time. Y'all got to stop fron on academics. And I had to think about it. I was like, well, maybe they act like that because academics is not necessarily a platform.

What he is. That's the thing. He is a person, so it's easier to not look at him as a platform where these other things are like institutions. Like the breakfast club is institution. The Shade Room is an institution. It's easy to just look at academics and like, here's this guy that's just posting on Instagram and like going on Twitch. But if you actually look at the amount of people and views that he's generating and conversations he's starting, I think it's maybe more than these other platforms within specifically the hip-hop state. maybe not as much as breakfast club,

but like, I think that you have to... If you added up all acts hip hop, because everything acts hip-hop, because everything acts does is hip-hop. So if you accumulate just all those, matter of fact, and he's just posting way more than you guys.

It's constantly throughout the day. So if you look at the actual influence, it doesn't matter if it's one person. It's even better if it's just one fucking person. Why does it have to be a team of people? Why does it have to be a whole corporation? If it's one person is doing the same fucking thing, I mean, what did we learn from Joe Rogan?

One person can get more views than all the fucking news stations in the world. I went to, it's so crazy that people just don't realize times change. Yeah. And the traditional, you know, outlets, platforms, you know, they, they, they, they, they, they, it's changed. Like, it's, I don't even like to call it non-traditional no more because we're in an era where that is traditional. YouTube is traditional. You know what I mean?

Instagram is traditional. You understand what I'm saying? These screaming services are traditional. Like, they're not non-traditional anymore. We got, we have podcast are traditional. Right. We got to stop saying. These are non-traditional platforms.

Traditions change. That's right. You know what I'm saying? Traditions change all the time. So, you know, shout to act. I don't ever have an ego with anything. I give props what props is do. Like, he built an amazing platform.

He did. And I go to him for hip-hop. By the way, I like Hot New Hip-Hop too. And I love hip-hop D-X. Yeah. Hot-D-Hipop is dope, man. I think Say-Chi should be up there. I don't know that one yet.

Say-Chi's TV. They dope. And me and Duval was talking about it. And Duval said Chase, Say-Chi. And I was like, oh, shit. yeah, say cheese, you know, they absolutely should be up there. 100%. Your world starts still doing crazy numbers.

But, man, when I go, when I want to know what's going on in hip-hop, and I want to stay abreast of what's going on with these young Negroes, when I want to go on my hip-hop safaris, meaning I want to get in this Jeep and stay in the Jeep and just drive through the jungle, I go to DJ Academis's page. I go to DJ Academics and then his guy, Graham Wizard, chat, and then I can't say the last part of it. What is it? It's the N-word.

What? He has... Nigel. Yeah, Nigel. Grand Wizard Chat Nigel. He has the funniest fucking Instagram that I follow right now. Really? And I think it's a private account, so you gotta go, you gotta go like...

It is so fucking funny. He does these characters. Really? Bro. You would fucking lose. I didn't know he was a real person. I'm telling you, that's academic's guy. I think he fucks with Eric and, like, helps act with a lot of stuff.

But he also has an Instagram that's hilarious. And it's comedy-driven. Like the dude, I got to look it up. I got to look it up right now. He's a comedian? Do you actually spell the last in the words? I don't even know if he's real human, bro. But this guy is fucking hysterical.

No, he's a real human. You met him more? I know he's real. I know he's real. I've talked to him. Really? Yeah, he's in Australia. Really?

Yeah. Oh, man. He'd probably be shooting. A black guy in Australia? Yeah. Oh, dude. See, that's dope. But think about that kind of reach, though.

You know what I mean? Because that dude seems like he loves DJ. Yeah. Yeah, like he'll post shit like this. He'll be like, LeBron ain't know any of the words, so he decided to dance and at hype hoping we wouldn't notice, and it's LeBron listen to CLB.

Alarious. And then he goes, LeBron noticed, we notice him reading the lyrics, so he decided to switch it up. Probably reading often. Yeah. Like, he'll cast these folks. Hey, by the way, speaking of non-traditional,

you know, when you see a man have nine of the top ten songs on the Billboard, board top 10, you have to understand how much a lot of these institutions simply don't matter no more. Because that would never happen if radio was still in control. There used to be a time when you was to make the billboard top 10, you had to be like on the radio, getting all these fins. It's like country music.

Absolutely. Country music still run by radio. Man, like that nine out of the top 10 just shows you that people go to these screaming services and they consume what they want to consume. and there's nothing you can program. That's going to beat that. Well, the new radio is playlists. Well, yeah.

I mean, listen, here's the thing. I love radio to death, but, you know, if you're being honest with yourself, radio doesn't really lead in anything anymore. Like, screaming services, screaming services, lead in music. Right. Right. Personality, podcast, lead in personality. Bless you.

When it comes to news. Lambda. Social media. Yeah. Leads in news. comes to, you know, live events, festivals. You know what I mean? And it's not a bad thing.

It's just needs to make some adjustments. Like, you know, when it comes to what we're doing here on podcasts, some of these podcast personalities, man, you have to start finding places to put them on your radio station a few times a week just to get the brand equity at a station up. You know what I mean? Yep. Yo, all of these radio stations should have your own playlist. Rate your own playlist for a title and Apple and, you know.

what Viacom did. When Viacom fought with YouTube and they're like, we're gonna start our own website where like, good luck. Radio stations did that. There was mad radio stations who had there.

Dot coms who were fighting YouTube. Yeah, it's like, stop, it, stop. I mean, even with Breakfast Club, we didn't get our own YouTube until 2016. I was saying we needed one for a few years prior. But I tell his story all the time. It was the week of the Hillary Clinton

and Burroman interview that finally made, like, yes, you know what? Instead of putting little clips on YouTube, let's just put the whole interview. Duh. You know, duh. But it's just like, you know, just like little, little adjustments.

And I'm going to tell you something else. Speaking of curating playlist. Program directors, DJs, and whatever markets they're in, they should program for the markets they're in. Like you can't have these universal playlist. You know what I mean? All throughout the country.

Word. I can't go to Florida and hear the same. The station can't sound the same way it sounds in New York. Like you go to Buffalo play some Griselda. Word. Louisiana. Word. You might want to put on some.

If I'm in Cali, it shouldn't sound the way it sounds in Atlanta. They got lazy, man. But you know what that is, though? What I'm describing? Curating your own playlist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which you're giving people the power to do. Right, right, right.

So if I'm already giving people the power to curate your own playlist, how about put the power back in the program directors in the DJ's hands and give them the power to curate their own playlist? Maybe just a suggestion. What do I know? Yeah, yeah. I'm just a guy who loves radio for a long time. And you don't want to see the coach

you continue to move forward. Because that's what's happening with the internet. It just allows us to get more specific in terms of what we enjoy. You know what I mean? It's like it's becoming like food. You're not going to the diner anymore.

That's right. You go into a Thai restaurant specifically. You're going to have this that night. So when you get to work out in the gym, it's not like what's a workout play playlist. It's workout hip hop from the 90s. You could get that on Spotify, right? That's right.

You get super specific. Like rock and roll anthems from 1970 to 19, 80. So if it's that specific, how the fuck are you supposed to compete if you're just going throw out generic top 40 hits? I went over again. I mean, radio, I mean, you know, I love radio. But when, you know, the new rating system came in a long time ago, PPM, like, they took all the personalities out of radio, and they made radio a jukebox.

And you know what also happened in those times? The rise of screaming services and the rise of podcasts. So the things that used to make radio radio, which was the personalities in the music, now I don't got to wait on my favorite song no more. I can just go scream my favorite song. I don't got to y'all, y'all saying nobody wants to hear people talk, but these podcasts are booming. And talk radio is still booming. That's the thing.

If you look at like what still exists, like even the radio personalities that still exist, to me, they're not the guys who are just playing music. It's the guys who are talking, right? It's Breakfast Club. Or it's like specific things that will pop up like the LA leakers, I think. Oh, LA Leakers, slewled to LA Leakers. So it's like, I'll just see. Exactly. They have a thing, right?

Like, I've never listened to an interview of theirs, but I do know that when someone, does an LA L.A. L.A. leakers freestyle. You know they exist. I know they exist. And it's almost like, remember when someone would go on sway and they would do the freestyle and sway? And it was like there was a moment. So they have a moment. It's like, use your platform to create a moment. You got donkey today and you got the interviews. It's like, we are tuning in. What is the donkey today? What's going on? I need to hear what you have to say about this person. So yeah, you have to use your platform for more than just, I'm going to sit back and let these fucking programmers throw some songs up and I'm just going to throw to the song.

Man, I saw a rest in peace of Michael K. Williams, the New York Post. I think it was the Post of Daily News. I don't remember who it was, but they posted an article. And Michael K. Williams' last post was Tracy Morgan on Breakfast Club. And so the New York Post of the Daily News, whoever it was, they said, they talked about Michael K. William's last post was a clip from the Breakfast Club podcast. And when you click on the link, it takes you to Breakfast Club YouTube. Wow.

I'm like, damn, no mention the FM radio at all. Yeah. That tells you how much things have changed. And the word radio, it's like the word TV. Like watching something on TV, well, we can watch everything on a TV. We can watch brilliant idiots on the TV. We can watch Breakfast Club on the TV. A TV is just a screen now, right?

So the word radio is now replaced with podcasts because we just listen to more podcasts. But it's the same consumption pattern. You're still sitting there. You're listening to the guys that you love. You're laughing. 100%. And that's why you have to take the personalities from podcasts and transition them to radio. You know, I mean, not saying that they got to be on every day, but, you know, grab some of these popular shows.

Like, Big Facts Podcasts, they should be on in Atlanta. You know what I'm saying? What lady them are doing in L.A. with the Brown Bag podcast, that should be on the radio in L.A. You know what I mean? I love what Head and Chuck Dill will do it homegrown. and they getting it right on Real 92, 3, LA. But Wallow and Gilly, they should be on in Philadelphia. You understand what I'm saying?

Like horrible decisions. Like, I remember back in the day when they used to have like those late night radio shows, like, you know, Golden Girl and Carrie Martinez, who used to come on and talk nasty late at night. Put horrible decisions on at midnight the two in the morning. Like, just do these little small changes to elevate the brand equity of your station. Yeah, I guess. I don't know, but it's just so hard to access.

Like, at least for me, like, to listen to the radio, I have to be in a car. You know what I mean? But here's the thing. It don't matter if you, you listen in real time, great. I think you would if you knew Wallow and Gilly was on at a certain time. You know what I mean? If you're in New York, you're like, oh, shit, yo, we ride in the car in afternoon, Thurn such and such and such on your, you might just go to the eye heart radio app and be like,

yo, you know, such and such is on two to four. 85 South Show was on two to four on this station. Like, I'm going to go tune in real quick. It's the same way, same way you tap into a podcast, why wouldn't you tap into a radio station if you knew they were on in that time? And guess what? You would still go listen to their podcast later. Yeah, yeah.

You would still go watch them on YouTube later because you know how I know that? Yeah. Because the breakfast club comes on 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. And then we got the YouTube page people go to, and we got the podcast people listen to. How long does it take to turn over and edit? We do it immediately. Because I'm just wondering, like, if I was a radio company,

I would just say, hey, we want you to record a podcast. record the podcast for an hour. What we're going to do is we're going to chop up that hour into stuff that can be used for radio. Why not? And who knows? Maybe that takes up three hours of radio time

because you're mixing in with commercials and other stuff, but you're also going to put it out as just the podcast. Why not? This way you got someone to listen to where you ride in the car. Why not? But you also have just the podcast out there and then you get the best of both worlds.

It raises the brand equity of the station. Earned your leisure should be on every business radio station out. or any leaders should have a show every week. You know what I mean? You know, by the way, even if they're not on every day, just the fact that they're on and they're talking about your station and they're talking about the call letters and they're telling people, hey, we're on such and such station.

It raises the brand equity of the station. That's all I'm saying. But what do I know? I'm just the radio guy. What else we got, Alex, Taylor? What are you got? I guess wearing shit you won't care about next week, Britney Spears engaged.

She get a pre-nup? Was that really a conversation? Are you getting a pre-number? Are you getting married? Are you going to pre-nep? No, I don't have one. Yeah. No.

How do you feel about pre-naps? I don't really know about it. Yeah, me neither. To be honest. Like, I don't really understand what it. I guess what I'm thinking is like, a pre-nup is based on what money you make once you're married, right? Mm-hmm. I don't know.

Is it? You're married? I don't know what a pre-num is made because I don't have one. Yeah. So like, I think it's like. I can tell you why I don't have one, though. It's like. Because you cheated a lot.

Yeah. No, it's not the reason. The reason I have, I don't have a pre-no because I built, me and my wife been together for 23 years. It built together. Yeah. And it was like she literally the first time I ever went to a radio station to fill out an application for an internship, my wife drove me because my goddamn license was suspended. Right. You know what I'm saying?

Like when I was getting fired from radio four times, she was the one going to work every day. Yeah. Paying the bill. She was with him in a jump. Yes. When we were getting evicted, she was the one going down to the courthouse. Right. Explaining to the judge.

why we couldn't get evicted. Like, what the fuck I look like doing a pre-nup? No, I think that you're doing the right thing. You're the CEO of the house. Yeah, I never thought about it. If we get, we're never getting a divorce by the way. Right, of course. I don't even got a knock on wood.

That shit ain't happened. Hey. But my wife is the CEO of our house, but also literally we came up as kids. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, nothing is an understatement. Yeah. She literally drove me to the radio station in 1999 to fill out internship papers.

Maybe it was 98. I don't fucking read them. Yeah. You know what I mean? But she drove me down to the radio and said that's a different level of like in on the ground floor is the understate. 100%. You know what I mean? That's all.

That's all. I get that. I get that. You know, but that being said, you guys get divorced. You might be like, well, all she did was drive me to fucking notice. That's true. I wouldn't. You're not like you talked on the radio.

I was one. He talked to me. I'll be like, no. I promised you. You can't you'll give you the house. No. You can have. Like, you know, whatever.

Yeah. Half and half. Like, go ahead. Do your thing. All right. Is there anybody in your life that can come in and get 50% of your business right now? No. What does that mean?

Can they come in and get 50% of show to enterprises? Can they just come in right now and say, I want 50%? I don't think that that means that they own, that's an interesting one. I don't think that that means they own the business. They just own. 50% of your money. They have the money. But the business is different.

The business is the money. The business can continue to go on making it. 50% of the money. No, you give them 50% of the money. If somebody just walks in right now, you'll just give him 50% of what's in your bank account? I mean, that's what Bezos did, right?

And then the pandemic happened, he made all that money back and some. I don't know. Explain to me. So his wife had like, own shares of the company because they were in the company together. So she got paid off.

She made some crazy bread. And she was part of like the building in the company early on. From the beginning. From the beginning, right? And he says that, though. He was like, yo, me and her built Amazon. Yeah, I'm sure she,

did a lot. I don't know if that's a good example. I'm sure. I'm sure she did tons. She did enough. I don't care if he was giving him head inside the closet. What's not, man?

You hornyman? No, maybe. The skept. The head is the podcast. No, maybe. He's a damn. No, but calling that mad over this language shit? Yes.

She likes to the shit for no one of therapy. I got to go to therapy. I got to go. the 30 to get some pussy. No, I guess I'm saying like if you own, I don't know how it works, but if like you own a business, right, and that's your business, and then you get divorced, the money

that you and your wife made from that business in that time, she gets half of. But she don't get half of the business moving forward. Unless you guys started the business together, like what Bezos did with his wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get what you're saying. So the payoff is it pay her out of,

get out of that. Yeah, if you guys bought a house together, if you guys have savings together, you guys have all these things. You know, you have a boat. That's what she gets half of. But you still be mad if you marry a woman, y'all got divorced after two years and you had to give her half a few money.

And y'all was only together for us. Son, I don't like giving the government half of money. That's all of them. Isn't that crazy? We give the government half our money every single fucking year. And we can still get locked up in seconds. That goddamn IRS. Why, IRS need to be up there with Al-Qaeda

and fucking the Taliban. These mother, the domestic terrorists that stormed the capital. The IRS is no joke. And there's nothing we can do about it. You know what I think, man? They dare you the nut so they can buck. Yo, we pay enough taxes, at least not get no fucking tickets, man. Man, we pay enough taxes that there should be no poor people in America, bro.

We should have no fucking tickets in fucking New York. And that's all I would care about. If they could show me, you know how when you get a colonic, you can see the tool. Child support. When you get a colonic, you can see what's coming out of you. Yeah. If I could literally see what my money was going, I wouldn't give a damn. That's a child support.

Show me the part just getting eaten. But you say you don't want any. people in America, but, you know, you'd be at a restaurant getting your own food from the counter. Like, man, man, we need a couple poor people in the fucking money. No, they got to be poor. I think everybody should be able to, yo, some people like to do something like that. Some people like to do something like that. I ain't saying everybody got to be in the mansion.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you just want to live. You want to have food on the table. Have a place to stay. I want all these things as well. That's a don't get me. You cry when you see veterans in the street? Yes.

People that have fought for this country in it. I ain't cry yet. I'm not crying, but I feel incredibly sad. Yeah, I feel like we let those people. down. Disgusting. Like the least we can do as provide them food

and shelter and a stipend every month. Don't we already do it with taxes? Like I'm like, I wish I could do more but I'm doing it. We're doing it, right? No, I mean, we're paying taxes. Paying a lot.

You're like, when AOC's out there with her little fucking chickfilet dress talking about tax the rich, I'm like, we're getting tax. I like, I like, we're getting taxed. We're definitely getting taxed. Who do you know this is not getting taxed?

We all are getting beaten a fucking death. But the tickets at the Met Gallo was 30,000. Yeah. I don't know I don't know if Why don't you give that 30,000 to the poor Or whatever fucking

I don't know if she paid for a ticket But I was just like Also how long does she work as a waitress Because every story got to deal with her being a fucking waitress Like you ain't done nothing else Who is this? I mean she's AOC now Yeah taxed the rich

We definitely getting taxed I see my I see my uh I see my FICA statements every week Who's that next to her? You're married, bro I might have to get a pre-up Let's pay some bills

All right, cider boy 11 says if you was paralyzed from the waist down, which one of your homeboys gets to smash your wife? Man, get the fuck out of here. That's crazy. That's fucking amazing question. Yeah. But God damn, you sick fuck. No, I just have a crazy vibe. vibrators and mad different toys and stuff for her.

Like, I make sure I'm online or Amazon all the time and buying her every fucking sex toy in the world. Yeah. That's kind of selfish, don't you think? What's you mean? You wouldn't let her smash nothing else? Come on, he bugging. Pre-nup.

What the hell do I mean? Are you letting someone else smash? Nah, no, no. We had to cap together, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. But it's getting a wheelchair too. Rolling around.

They're just rolling around. baby. Yeah. No, man. At the end of the day, only thing she wanted to do is get satisfied. You know what I'm saying?

You don't need nobody to do that. Yeah, get a sex toy or some shit like that. You want to talk about this? Am I missing something? DTR customs? Do we even, I don't need, am I missing something?

No, am I missing something with this? I'm reading it. I don't know anything about this. Yeah, I don't know nothing about this either. Yeah, I thought we're cool. Can we say it? Can I say it? Okay, I won't.

I don't mean, if it happens, if it comes up later, we'll talk about it. But what is that in reference to? I have no idea. Why are you going so fast, Taylor King? Jesus Christ, why your hand's so heavy? What happened to Charlotte December of 2019? I don't understand.

I did have an awakening December of 2019. I got to a place of worthy in my life. I did get into a place of worthy. That was it when you said, I deserve this. Yeah, I mean, I felt like I dealt with imposterous. syndrome, you know, for a long time. But, you know, I saw somebody say something yesterday that was so profound. They said imposter syndrome is when, you know, you look at your life and you just simply

can't believe it. You know what I mean? But it wasn't like, let me see if I can find. Oh, so it's like impossible? Yeah, like the burgers, like the beyond eating shit. You know what I mean? So it's like not, it's not like real, real. Where did I see this?

Did I see Anita posted? I think I saw Anita somebody posted. Let me see if I can find out. Yeah. Imposter syndrome is just being so. lit that you can't believe it for real man that shit is like you know when you living in some of your prayers you're like yo god is really real like the power of positive thinking like your thoughts can really become things like don't play with that at all bro don't play with it at all and i promise you

whatever your good plan is is probably not god's plan for you so whatever you cooking up in your mind cook it up but also sit back and let don't be afraid to let god put some other ingredients in there because you're going to look around and be like, my God. You know what I mean? So, yes, December of 2019, I was sitting upstairs in my old house, and I just was like, I'm worthy, bro. And Bishop T.D. Jake said the real shit. Bishop T.J.J. said, even if you don't feel like you're worthy,

just know God feels your worthy, that's why you're in the position at you. And just know, things are bigger than you. And, you know, you're here to serve. And that's literally what I do. That's why I love things like what John Stewart and Pete Davidson did this weekend. And it's one thing to, you know, be doing good. But it's another thing to use your influence and your platforms to do good. You know what I mean?

Yeah. What else we got, Taylor, gang? What else we got, Taylor gang? Oh, this is a good one. I want show to do this one. High on weight. Why is the MetGala important to society? Because perception is reality.

And it feeds off of insecurity. and you take the most insecure people on the planet, which are celebrities, and you give them an event where they may or may not be invited every single year, and they value that event more than anything, and they put on these stupid fucking outfits. The Jay Z dinner.

And because they value it, we value what celebrities value, so we value it. It's like the Rock Nation, didn't it? Yeah, it's like cryptocurrency. It's Bitcoin. It's all that shit. It's all, it's, once people believe something has value, it has value.

The thing is stupid. That's what they should have did to the COVID. We don't even know what happens inside. You could go inside and there's nothing. You could go inside and it's just like the exit that way. And then you just walk out. There's no party. There's no drinking.

Have you ever heard a story from the Met Gallag? You never know pictures of no fire food. Not they just make you walk upstairs. They make you work. They don't even escalator. Right? There's no songs. There's no fucking DJ.

Nothing. You walk in, you walk out the other side. I think the thing is stupid. I can't wait to get popping enough to not go to the middle. To turn that shit down, right? Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Just get the,

Get the, what's it called, the invitation in the mail. Yeah. And just put it on Instagram. Put a big, put an outfit on to light it on fire. I'm not going that. I'm definitely that guy. I'm that guy that's like, oh, yeah, I got invited to that. I'm not going.

Bro. Not going to. Fuck. Everybody excited to be there. I'm cool. I'm at the house. Yeah. On an edible watching what if living the life.

Living the life. People feel like they make it when they go there. You know what I'm saying? Even a rock nation dinner. You like, I made it. It's a brunch. That's the thing that I, notice about like, it's a brunch.

It is a brunch. Right. You're saying to death. Rock nation brunch. Whatever. But that's the thing I noticed about people is like, sometimes for celebrities, the people aren't enough for them. And the coolest thing about like, at least, you know, my career, I think you would say this

about your career as well, is that like, it was made from the people first, not the industry. But the celebs are so tied into like what the industry is, like what industry event they should be at, which party they should be at Pan. Yeah. Which party they should be in New York. Like, oh, I need to make sure I'm in this state. Exactly. So it's like they're being validated by these other celebrities, right?

And that's why a fucking Grammy or an Oscar means so much to them when the rest of us are like, nah, we just want to see the best movie. Like, I don't give a fuck if Matrix doesn't win an Oscar when it comes out. I'm going to see that shit because I like it. Exactly. Like people go out and see Fast and Furious. It will never win an award ever. It will make more money than all those motherfuckers that make awards.

So like, I'm validated by the people. I don't need a bunch of fucking douchebag celebrities to see me in a goofy outfit and go, You're cool. You're one of us. Yeah. I like walking out of the street. You don't like none in the outfits? Say what?

You ain't like none of the outfits? I was talking to one of my homies yesterday, and it's a I don't know shit about fashion. Because I love Kim Kardashian shit. That shit looks white. You believe that's actually Kim? What you think? You think it was Van Jones and Kanye came together? I was Van.

That was Van. That was Van. Van got the caboose, brus. No, you don't think Kim sent someone else? That's what I would have done. You think? I didn't want to go to the shit. would have sent someone to look like me to go dress like me.

That's what I'll do to the fucking Met Gallo. If I get invited to the Met Gallo. That's fine. I thought that shit was fine. That shit is superheroish, Lord. I saw people saying stuff like, like she looks bat shit crazy. And I saw somebody else say, is she going through something? It's the goddamn Met Gala.

Ain't the Met Gala like the Halloween of celebrities? Yeah, celebrity Halloween. I thought it's about wearing the wildest outfit. Like, yo, the point out Kim K and say Kim K looks crazy. Why do celebs need excuses to wear an outfit? I have no idea. Who she was? Is that Kanye?

That's Kanye. That's your fire, bro. I don't, but I don't know shit about fashion, so don't ask me. I thought Kanye didn't go. I thought he wasn't with her no more. They said that was Kanye. Well, you know what? Well, you know, that is a good question.

We don't know if that's Kanye and that. We don't know if that's Kim either. But I know one thing. We don't. Yeah, they just sent other people. That's not Kanye nose. Exactly. That's me.

That is a big-ass nose, bro. That's my man, Drew. That's my. That's true. Andrew went to the Met Gala with Kim Kardashian impersonator. That's not Kim and that's not Kanye and they're so smart to troll all them. That was brilliant. Either way, I like them outfits.

I think them shit, that shit Kim got on. That shit dope to me. But guess what? Look what I got on right now. Yeah. She's wearing your outfit. I'm just like a fucking stylish tomato. All right?

You're being generous with stylish. A comfortable tomato. Yeah, like a workout tomato or something like that. I don't know about it. I don't know, bro. Look at these fucking ridiculous at. I don't think they look ridiculous. You know why I don't think they look ridiculous because of the context.

It's the Met Gallagall. Didn't Russell go here? Russell who? Nah, he went to some shit in like France. No, Russell was there. Russell was there. Yeah, but the skirt, he wasn't dressed in a skirt at the Mac Gallag. He had some shit like shaved into his head or whatever.

Hey, man. All I know is it's the Met Gallo. You're opposed to go. Sierra's outfit so dumb. Look at this shit. You don't like that? Not dumb. She's wearing her fucking husband's jersey.

That's fine. You don't want your wife to wear your t-shirt? Not in a football Like you want your wife to dress up as a football? Like, you want your wife right there? That's dope. That's what you want your wife to come home and she got like fucking headphones on

And her laptop set up and reading Donkey today on it? But it's the Met Gallo she's reping for her man. I like that shit. As long as you guys, get a plus one. Because he's the football season. Yes, he ain't working. Yes, he is. The season just started.

When was it? He wasn't on Monday night football? He just now. I think he did. No, Seattle did just. He had to play Sunday, right? They play Sunday. But he's done to get a practice.

No, you can't just fly out to New York. God forbid. Monday we got off. God forbid on your day off. You can't just go. I don't know if they have days off during the week. I don't, I mean,

I don't know. I don't know how that NFL shit works. Or maybe the MacGallel was Sunday. Meggall was yesterday, right? Yeah, he could have made that shit. Nah, I don't think, but I think you got to be, you got mandatory practices and shit like that.

I like the fact Sierra was reping her dude, man. Yo, I love Jack Harlow. Jack Harlow. Jack Harlow, Jack Harlow's the man. Yeah, Jack ain't. You see, Jack, you know why he understands? This is how you got to operate within life. He was at the Metball?

Yeah. Oh, wow. Damn, he is the man. So you look at, you see how people are so enticed by this? It's amazing. It's unbelievable. But no, I mean, I'm saying that because we know Pete. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I know what this means the people. But you didn't think he was the man before that? Of course. So why the fuck does it matter if he's in a bathroom at the Met Gal? That guy's the man because he's your boy. I guess because it's the Metcow. That's the thing, right? You're so.

I'm like, my man's so stupid. I'm like, my man, the Matt Gala. Like, oh, shit. That's your boy. Like, you know what I mean? But you know what it is, though? All just aside, sometimes we take for granted how big our friends are. Especially when you've seen it come from the ground up.

Because, like, to me, that's just Pete. But why does this make someone big? Like, other things he's done are way more impressive than this. I mean, clearly, like having the garden. But having the garden, like, people come out to the garden like that. And organizing that thing is way more. But we started the podcast off by giving him props on that. That's fire.

But I don't like. putting any value in this shit. Stupid. I'm with you. I'm with you. I mean, but it is value in it, though. And you know what? That type of shit is the currency of being seen at this event is rewarded.

The currency of this event is that everybody is not invited. Yeah. I don't like that as currency. I never like currency meaning you can't be here. That's why it's cool. Because you, the regular person, isn't good enough. I don't want to value anything as the regular person. That's going to make everybody want to do it.

They should do that shit with them. Like, motherfuckers... That's what great about what we do. It's great about music. Music isn't great because it's like, sorry, you can't listen to it. Music is great because the regular person, the rich person, the poor person,

all vibes aren't. Like, yo, this is the shit. Same thing with comedy. Like, I want to do comedy for the regular man. I could give him a flying fuck if anybody in the megall finds me funny as long as when I'm walking down the street and there's a dude in a truck

that just, yo, Shultz, what up? That's way better for me. They feel violated. I mean... This is fraudulent. It's not real. Literally, I wouldn't be tricky. He wants a success.

Say what? I wouldn't mind if little Nasak found me funny. Well, I find him funny, so that would... I value his funny, but I don't value him at the thing. No, I get what you saying. I mean, but listen, here's the thing. It does have value. Exclusionary value.

Like, it's bullshit. And, you know, when people post about it and people are seen there, you know, they're rewarded for being there. Like, just being seen on the red carpet at the Met Gallo. You think MLK would have gone to the Met Gallup? Yes. Fuck no. Yeah, he don't want you.

It's the thing. He stands up against. MLK Jr. He was going after the rich motherfuckers. Nah, he'd have been there. I'm trying to, like, integrate my people into a burning house. He would have had a meeting. He would have had a meeting with them, though. Nah, he'd have been there.

He would have talked to the right person. That's why I came here for you. This is just the diner that doesn't let black people eat, but it's not black people, it's poor people. It's mad poor people there, though. I mean, this shit is $30,000 a ticket. Who's poor? I said that. You just said there's mad poor people there.

I didn't mean to say that. I meant to say it's mad black people there. But I heard it's $30,000. I said black and poor? No, I heard you say, you said, I don't know what the fuck you said. That's all good. I really didn't. The one thing I don't understand is that they eat dinner inside and they have all these weird

ass costumes. How do they even sit down and have? And they take that shit off. They take that shit off. I saw people wearing two or three different outfits on the carpet. So the moment they get inside, they just take the shit off. They're dressing like Charlotte. Alex, I'm going to be honest with you.

I don't know. Nobody. I look like I've ever been in the goddamn med gala. There's a lot of. Who's Pete sitting with? Let me see. click on that. That's Pete. They got a bounce house in there. That's what they got. Pete with Erica Badoo. That's fire.

Yeah, Erica. I don't know anybody else in this shit. I see Erica by doing. That's Uzi right there. You know, Uzi. Is that Uzi? Yeah. Yeah, that's Uzi. Erica. Who on the other side? I don't know.

That's a lady. That's a real. You can't sit with us table, bro. That's what that is, bro. Yeah, you're doing. The second you get invited, you're gone. The second you get invited, you're gone. I can't wait to say no. Yo, copy, paste this shit right here.

Copy and paste it. Copy and paste. This is your pre-up. Please copy and paste. This is your pre-in-up. Now, let me not put myself in a box. See? See?

See? Let me not put myself in the box. I'm going to listen to this shit right now. Let me not put myself in a box. I'm about to have a hit talk show. Okay, I'm like, you might see me pop up at one. God. Why?

Why? Why? Bro. Thank you. Come on. I really don't know. Stop, bitch. Maybe just for the outfit.

You want the outfit? Wear it after whatever you want Why they got to tell you I want to wear some cool shit I wear a Puma suit and have the ass cut out like Prince? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I walk in front of you.

That shit will be fired. I don't know. Don't party yourself do it. I don't know. I don't like that shit. What else? Just do one more tail and get the fuck out of here. I feel you though.

I'm with you 100%. Like, you know, I look at that shit. I was actually on the phone one of the homies yesterday and they were, they actually wanted. want to go in a real way and I don't see it. And I'd be like, but I couldn't, I couldn't,

I couldn't tell me who? No, but I couldn't knock them because they're into fashion. Like, they're really, really, really, really into fashion. So I couldn't knock them. So I'm like, okay, but that's just not my thing. You know what? Just wear the outfit. Why you need a way out there?

That's what I said. I said, why don't you just put the outfit on and take pictures? Because for me, and I actually said this to them, I'm like, yo, I enjoyed going to the shit at the garden Sunday. Why? Because I value comedy. You value fashion. So you would want to be at the MetGala.

I value Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Pete Davidson, John Stewart, Attell, Wanda Sykes. I value that. That's what intrigues me. That's how I want to go spend my time. I go to comedy shows. You understand what I'm saying? That's what I like to do. So I could knock them there in the fashion.

I'm in the comedy. You know, if the MetGallel was some comedy-driven shit, we probably won't be there. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe we should do our own. I'm not going to do as a rejection of that. It's not.

That's not going to motivate me to do anything. Why we can't have a, like, they used to have the players ball? Why not have like a funny ball? Players balls is fire. Funny ball. I think Chappelleau actually did that. Like, I think he would. On his show?

No, no, he did a, uh. Block party? No, he did like, he did a block party. But then he'll do like an event that like comedians will go to. I think it's pretty cool. Why not? Yeah, it's fine. Why not?

All right. All right. All right. Let's do one more tail and get the fuck out of here. Uh, what do we got? What do we got? What's done? Oh, this is a good one.

Let's end on this one. Bezitton sale says, oh, yeah, shout to Beza. What's done more good and which has done more harm? Religion or politics? Politics is the worst thing. Yes. There's nothing worse than politics. Politics is the worst thing that's ever existed.

And I'm going to quote my boy, Dave Smith on this. He had a really interesting thing to say. And he goes, two religious people can sit next to each other, and they literally believe the other person is going to burn for an eternity in hell, right? But they're friends. They can love each other. They could dab each other up. Everything's cool. The second you introduce politics, those people, how dare you support that guy?

How dare you support Trump? How dare you support Biden? They're not even addressing the fact that they think the other person is going to burn in hell for an attorney. That's totally fine without politics. The second you introduce politics, there is a fucking line drawn to sand and you're an animal and I'm a good person, etc. Politics, it inspires this tribalism that you would think religion does. But even the places where there's like incredible religious turmoil, that's politically driven. The politics is being put on the religion and they're using the religion as the wedge as politics.

Always the worst. Always the worst. even in America they use politics and you know they use the Bible to push silly ass legislation exactly the Bible ain't doing it yeah right it's the politicians and the political groups going oh I bet we could

manipulate these religious people they really believe in God let's pull out their heartstrings a little bit and get them to freak the fuck out at what we want them to freak the fuck out at so they could vote for us politics is the worst manipulation of mankind ever religion religion is something that you religiously do we all agree on 90% of religion

everybody agree hey don't kill each other don't fuck each other's wives, you know, don't, be good, be a good person. Be a good person. Try to help. If you religiously do that, that's when you're religious. People think religious is, oh, I love Jesus or I love the Bible. Yeah. No, religious is something that you really do for a long time.

I religiously pray. Yes. I religiously love God, you know what I'm saying? But as soon as I stop doing that, I'm not religious no more. He's specifically talking about organized religion. So he's talking about Christianity, Catholics, Jehovah Witness, Muslim. You know what I mean? Yes.

I agree. It's definitely politics. It's not even close. Because at least with religion, you have a moral compass to a certain extent, right? At least you're trying to follow some type of moral compass. Politicians, absolutely not. They care about what their politics. Lie, lie, lie.

Hitler wasn't religious. Keep that a mite. Yes. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't religion that inspired him to do all that shit. He wasn't religious. I'm going to be honest with you, I know nothing about that, but I'll take your word for it. Yeah, I'm just saying.

Literally doing the same thing. I know nothing about him. I mean, you know a little about him. I mean, I know what you get. You're not going to name your Ken Adolf. You know, enough. Right now, Christopher Columbus and Hitler are the same thing. I will not take it with them apart.

Same person. Right. Same person. Right. We done here? I think we're done. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, yeah, absolutely right.

If you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit, you're right, too, it's the brilliant idiotist podcast. Thank you for listening to make sure you watch the God's Honest Truth this Friday, 10 p.m. Yes. On Comedy Central. Peace. Thank you.
