Also, during the discussion they both realized that maybe messing with Maxine was not the best choice. Next, they discussed movies that they watched over the weekend such as "They Cloned Tyrone" and "Oppenheimer", followed by some "Ask An Idiot" questions. ************************************************** Check out Andrew Schulz www.theandrewschulz.com Stream Charlamagne "Hell of a Week" on Paramount+ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" www.blackeffect.com/ Empty Thoughts Podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/empt…ow/id1622292632 Check Out "Summer Of 85" on Audible www.audible.com/pd/Summer-of-85-A…areTest=TestShare Podcastbrilliant idiots charlamagne tha godandrew schulz Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's start this show. Hezzy! Listen, bro. Rest up, Ronnie. Man. Hearts go out to him. Heal up. Hopefully everything's going to be okay.

It looks as if everything is going to be okay. Yeah, as we were coming in the day we got the news that Bronny James, suffered cardiac arrest. He was rushed to the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest during a basketball practice at USC on Monday. A spokesperson for the James family revealed that he was treated and is now in stable condition. He was also released from the ICU. God bless to that brother. As a parent man, the worst thing in the world is that kind of news because when your children are in a situation that you

can't do anything about, oh my God. Our job is supposed to be. to protect and provide, but you can't, you know, protect them from health issues. You know what I mean? And you can't even provide them the care that they need in a situation like that. Like, it's literally up to the doctors and, you know, stuff like that can make you feel completely helpless as a parent, man. So I'm happy that, you know, Ronnie is in stable condition, man. But, you know, to be 18 years old and having cardiac arrest, cardiac arrest.

Cardiac arrest is a heart attack, right? Yeah. Right? I mean, it's 18-year-old to athlete your entire life. like your body is in peak condition, something like that goes on. Anyway, I walk in here, and I'm like,

yo, there's something in the water, right? I'm like, you didn't say it. Well, it's the beginning of the video and we'll get demonetized if we say what I think it is. You're right, you're right. So it's something in the water.

Y'all know what that means? All I'm saying is over the last. You don't know what that means? That's RFK, Jr. You know what I mean? Stop do. Dr. Omar, talk you immediately.

He'll tell you right now. You know what's in the water? White bitches. He might have already pulled. I've posted it already. Dr. Ruma might already posted what it is. And I don't even know if that's what it is. All I'm simply saying is over the last few years,

I've seen a lot more people having heart attacks, a lot more people having, damn, bro, damn, A lot more people having strokes. What happened when I came in? I literally go to you, I go, damn, Brani happened this, and then I go, man, I just found out, I was having some trouble breathing.

Last episode, I go to the heart doctor, okay? Cardiobascular. I go to the cardiovascular, right? And, well, first I went to my therapist, and my therapist said, he goes, he goes, we should try this breathing exercise. He goes, put your hand on your stomach, and then put your hand on your chest.

And he goes, breathe in. You got the baby song? No. I don't know how to dance. I can lean, make a ghetto, bitch, put a hand on his stomach. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe. That's not what it is.

Maybe, I don't know. That might be it. Maybe he's a big fan of rap music. Yeah, yeah. But I know that what he was like, if you're feeling stress, you're feeling short of breath, and just for anybody else out of that,

there who's also feeling it. He said, put your one hand, your left hand on your stomach and your right hand on your chest. And he goes, and then take a deep breath in for your stomach and then stop being a . . . . . . . . that's a . . . . . . . . . . . you know, he almost ruined that whole shit with his little baby. No, you know, why? Because I'm laughing. I'm thinking about it, right? And I'm like, was that a medical term? And then I had to think about what I did. I'm never heard that medical term, and I'm like, nope, nope,

that's not what that was. That's not what that was. The show that it was frozen right there. Like a police siren just went off. Oh, God. No, but I go to the cardiologist. That was the other part of that joke. Remember Eddie Murphy?

When he said, Woo! Anyway, I go to the cardiologist, get my heart check. They tell me that I have some slight calcification of my arteries in my heart. What was the number? They didn't give me a number, but he's like a slight, it's almost nothing, but, and then I came in, and then Charlamagne, what do you say? You immediately go, I got calcicification.

I asked you what the number was. Listen, flashback brilliant news December, 2002. I started all these cardiovascular tests in the fall of last year. I was wearing a heart monitor. I did every cardiovascular test you could think of. I did the heart monitor. I did the calcification test. Is that when they put the ink in you?

They put the iodine in your body warms up. Yeah. So they didn't see what's going on in your arteries. I did the stress test. I did the, what's the other one? I can't remember what the other ones all, but I did them all. Bro, the doctor asked me, he didn't ask me. He assumed I was Jewish.

He goes, you got some slight calcification in your heart. He goes, but if you're an Ashkenazi Jew, this is very normal. It's genetics. It is genetic. And I was like, what do you mean? He goes, yeah, if you're an asking as you do, then you're totally good. And I go, well, I'm not. And he goes, all right, well, we probably should put you on some medication against you.

My doctor told me the same thing. He said, I'm fighting genetics. He asked to be her Jewish. No. He said my arteries are aging, my, I guess coronary arteries are aging faster than me. But we got to know why. That's what I'm trying to say. Well, mine is genetics because my uncle has it, my dad has it.

Like, my dad, they've all had multiple bypass surgeries. I blame it on a woman. Why? I blame it on Maxine. You don't know Maxine? Who's Maxine? You don't know Maxine? Man, Maxine was with everybody over the last few years, bro.

No. Okay. He's good. He's shooting. It's like watching Steph right now. I was like, is that going to go in? But I get it. That.

It went in. Hey, some people had Maxine twice. Yeah, man, yeah, man. Some people have, Chris had a damn near five Maxine's probably. For all types of shit. You know what I'm saying? He was calling Maxine for shit that Maxine had nothing to do it. Because he's an Ashkenazi Jew.

That's why. You got a Maxine a month. But no. And the reason I did the calcification test last is because he was telling me a story about how a lot of people get the stress test and they do the heart monitor and everything else. And everything seems fine. But you don't realize you have calcification on your heart, and the calcification on your heart can break off, and that's what causes the arteries the block.

So that's why I did that test, and then that's what I did that test, and I saw my number was like a 76, and I had high cholesterol at the time. And the cholesterol attaches to the calcification. And that's the reason why you need to go on a cholesterol med because it's like if we lower your cholesterol, it can't attach that calcification. Now, the doctor, I'm sure, said to you,

like, if your heart stays this way for the rest of your life, you can live a great life. Exactly. So it's more preventative, but... You don't want it to go up. You don't want the number to be over 100 or something like that. It's one of those moments. It's supposed to be zero, though.

It's supposed to be zero. Yeah. But I had that moment, which I'm sure you had last year, two years ago, where it's just like, oh, we ain't going to live forever. Bro. When the guy called me, let me tell you. No, not mine. Oh, I just see your number was 70. No, no, no.

He's the dead one. I'm good. I'm going to be around. I'll be here for like 80, 90. But my, what fuck me up is, the doctor's assistant called. I don't know if he was an assistant, but he was like an understudy.

He wasn't like the doctor. Oh, the doctor didn't catch it the assistant. No, the doctor caught it, but the assistant was calling me trying to tell me what it was. And so he was like, you got to come in on such and such. So I go in there with my wife,

me and my wife's sitting in there. So the doctor comes in there, the doctor goes, what's wrong? What the fuck you mean? What's wrong? Y'all called me and told me I got a fucking 76 or whatever,

and your guy said my arteries are getting thin and he was like, what? He was like, no, narrowing. That's what we said, your arteries are narrowing? He was like, I knew when you bought your wife and they said, when people bring their wife through here, they're significant others, they take something's wrong. He was like, no, you know, it should be zero.

But he was like, you're healthy, you eat right, just make these changes to your diet. Stay on the statin and the baby aspirin every day, you'll be fine. Isn't that crazy? It's like, it's this part of life that when you are growing up and young, you don't imagine will happen to you, even though you know it's a reality.

You just can't fathom that one day you might have to take a cholesterol pill when you're 20 years old, running around, taking fucking tequila shots. And it was just in this moment. It was one moment. I saw myself become old or enter the next part of my light.

It was profound, bro. I'm sitting in bed just like, holy shit. What I hate is that I've always felt like my whole life I've been able to manifest things and I see things before they happen. I've been going to the emergency room thinking I'm having a heart attack forever. And they were saying no, and you were like,

it was anxiety, you know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? Like, it was always anxiety. They always told me I got an athlete's heart, I got an athlete's heart, I got an athlete's heart. But now it's like, you just don't know. Because of things like the cholesterol,

because of things like the calcification, because of Maxine, who I wish I'd never fucking met. Yo, Maxine, you know what I'm saying? Honestly? I don't use this word a lot with women, but fuck that. Unless she works. Thank God. God bless her, bro. Sometimes, listen, there are some old people or people with pre-existing conditions that need to be with a woman like Maxine.

But Maxine represents a lot of people, right? Like, I'm good for you here. Yeah. But over here, you know what I'm saying? But then we have fun. But then we have fun. Didn't we have fun? Didn't we have fun over here?

Oh, you didn't know this is going to happen, right? That's every side chick, bro. Yo, Maxine is that side chick, bro. It's fun, but it might not be good for you. You know what it is? It's fun until you stop fucking her. And then you stop fucking with her. I told you come back.

Yeah, because if you break her heart, she's going to break yours. Maxine told you come back, you. I told you fucking come back. Yeah. You told me you're supposed to be two dates. Right? But you ain't come for that second date. I went for the second date.

Oh, you did? Yeah. Oh, she got you hooked. I didn't go back for the other dates. I was like, nah, I'm cool. Oh, word? Uh-huh. Okay.

We're gonna see how cool you are. We can see how to fuck cool you are. I don't know what's going on, bro. I just know that. Damn, Max. Are we lying though? Yo. There's a lot more people that got cardiac issues and shit, yo.

Bro, I am an athlete. Me too I beat a number one draft in the NBA in the NBA draft I used to have a 73 inch vertical shout out to you you know what I'm saying

shout out to you bro I ran a four fucking one when I was 17 in the 40 take one two dates with Maxine it was actually a 3-9 but the guy when the coach did it he was like that's no way so then they had to give you a couple points

I believe no I did it again I did it like immediately it was a 4-1 I believe that 100% out of breath 4-1. No question. No breathing. I breathe underwater, bro. Facts. The guy breathed underwater, bro.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You breathe underwater, you have two dates with Maxine, and all of a sudden- Oh, you said facts. I thought, I was like, damn. You got to flashback to your doctor again? I'm like, what? I'm like, this guy is crazy.

Bro, it's my therapist, bro, is my therapist. You know what I mean? He's a harsh therapist, bro. Yeah, man. All I'm trying to say is, we got to look into this. Chris damn near Melton over there. He don't know what to. You don't know what to do, Chris.

Luckily for you, Maxine. Have you gotten your cardiovascular test, Chris? Yeah, so I had an incident last year, I think, where I went for my normal annual checkup. They give you, what's it called, the EKG? Yep. So I was running late for the checkup. Doctor or assistant made me a little uncomfortable of sweating.

I sweat when I get nervous. Yeah. Did the EKG. They said, okay, you can leave. I'm walking down the block. I got a phone call from my doctor's office. I pick it up and say, listen, you're having a heart attack right now. You need to check in, go to the closest emergency room as quickly as possible.

Now, I'm a hypochondriac. We know, Chris. Right. So, but in my mind, I'm like, I'm not having a heart attack. But I'm also a 50-year-old man. If a doctor's office calls and says, go to the hospital, you're having a heart attack. Absolutely. You got to go.

So I checked into NYU was there for like a day. they ran a million tests. They were like, yeah, your EKG is abnormal. Had to go see a bunch of specialists. Long story short, unlike you two, the diagnosis I got back is I have the arteries of a teenager. Wow. My arteries are completely clear.

I have some sort of little electronic thing. Me too. I got that too. I got like an abnormal heart. But honestly, they're like, it's not worth addressing. You're as likely to have a heart attack as anybody else. You're fine. Don't worry about it.

That was after like six appointments, but that was the... Something like that happened to me, like a month ago. Hold on. Can I just point out one thing? Yeah. Recently, it was brought up that the Maxine doesn't affect Asians and Jews as much as it affects blacks and whites. I'm just saying he's both Asian and Jewish. Right.

Does your wife know about Maxine? Does she know about her? Yeah. She loves her. She loves her. Got to have four dates with her. Bust her down four times. Four times.

That's why Maxine ain't fucking with him. That's it. You know, that ain't said. We should have gone back. We should have gone back. After you get those two dates, you got to go back to Maxine. I'm going to fuck with you. And then you got Pegged two more times?

How many times did Maxine? I said many times as they'll let me. Wow. As many times as I go back. Wow. Yo, what if that's real, though? What if the first two dates, Maxine's just checking us out to see if we fuck with her. And if we don't fuck with her, you know, when they tell us to go take Maxine out,

two more times. Yeah. That's the correct, the shit that they fucking fucked with us about the first time. You can't stop in the middle. Can't stop in the middle.

Got to go. Mm. Fuck, Maxine. Yeah, wow. I don't even want to talk about her. Yeah, wow for ever going on a date with vaccine.

That's great. Wait, you never had a date with Maxine? Never had a date with Maxine? That's not true. I swear to go. You know this. Damn.

Fuck you for being faithful. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that shit you got on your shirt going to kill you though. Yeah. That's facts. That's facts. That's going to get you too.

That's going to get you too. Okay, Maxine is the only murder out there. You've proudly promoting that cognac on your shirt. That shit going to take you out. What's crazy is a month ago, I did the same exact thing. Yo, muffinggo because I did all the EKGs and the, what's the test? Would they put the dye in you? I did all.

of that. And then like a month ago, cat scan, an iodine cat scan. Yep, because I'm sitting there, one of my mentors, man, he actually had a heart attack a couple of years ago and he talked me through. He's a doctor. He's a medical doctor. So he talked me through all of symptoms and the feelings and everything. And he was like, he knew he was experiencing one, so he popped six aspirins. And that, that helps save him. It ends your blood. So it doesn't get caught up in a clot. That's right. Somebody took him to the hospital and he was able to, you know, get it done. And And so about a month ago, I woke up one morning, man, and I'm sure it was just anxiety, but you couldn't tell me, this is it, bro.

So I took six aspirins. You got six aspirins? Forget the heartburn medication and all that. I could have probably just took that and been fine. Yeah. I took those six aspirins. Please wife take me to the hospital. She took me into the aisle.

I'm putting on this show, too. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm praying. I'm praying. I'm like, I'm like, the willing to trust is good. I'm like,

I'm not going to die. I can survive a heart attack. I get to the hospital, get to the ER. They already know me, right? You know what I mean? So I'm like,

yo, man, I don't know, man. I said, I don't want to say it's a heart attack but something ain't right and regular. When I say they went into

immediate action, they were like, oh, we don't play when it comes to this because you might be experiencing a heart attack. They put me down on the gurney, put the EKG on me,

all types of shit. They just wanted, but I was good. You know what I'm saying? But when I say they sprung into action, oh, they sprung into action. And I'm demanding, I'm sitting there for two, three hours asking, what is the problem? He was like, man, you sure it's not physical? He was like, I got everything from your doctor. He was like, you sure it's not like a physical thing.

And I'm like, I did do chess yesterday. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. There's no one. This is why they hate patients. You're like, you got insurance. You're going to treat me, God damn. I got insurance.

I don't give a fuck. You're going to treat me. What is it costing me money? I don't give a fuck. I'm like, yo, can y'all do a... I skip the line. Can you all do an x-ray on my chest? Someone else died.

Like, can y'all do an x-ray on my chest to make sure it's physical? Listen, man, you can never be too careful. I'm not playing about this shit, yo. So... When you said you were really acting up, like, you were with your... when your wife is in the car. Is she at the point in your marriage where she's over? She's been only 25 years.

So she's not even nervous no more. She's not even caring. She's putting the music louder. Please. Please. Nobody knows my greatest hitch like her. She's seen every concert, every show. She knows what I'm about to do.

She's seen this set a million times. My wife just starting to get over that home. She's not nervous. about anything. Oh. My wife would be surprised. I was on the phone with a doctor. I was like, yeah, I'm funny about my chest.

I swear she had. She's like, do you need me? And already that is like, she don't want to be there because she knows that I'm exaggerating. Don't you hate it. Do you need me? What do you mean? Yeah, I'm talking to the doctor by my heart.

What do you mean? I'm talking about my heart. Yeah, what would you like to be involved? No, I swear to God on my life. I swear to God on my life. She went to take a shit. She went to take a shit Well, I'm finding out if my heart works or not, bro.

Man, that is so funny. Two women broke my heart. Maxine and my wife. You know why that is so funny, man? Because when I got the calcification record, and I had already been to all these tests by myself, right? So when I said I got the calcification and my arteries are narrow and shit like that,

when she said to me, so should I come next time? Well, you didn't come to first three or four times? Clearly you don't care Whether or not I live or die Make them feel guilty, make that feel guilty Why don't they love us?

Why don't they love us? Clearly you don't. Come on. Whether or not I live or die. Right? What would you have to be It was more important to do To take care of your husband?

You know what I mean? To take care of your husband. Man, come on. We are children. You hear me? Yo. Okay. Bro, I can't be sick.

No more. Bro, in the beginning of our relationship and I was six, you would take care of me, make me tea, all that kind of shit. Nothing, bro. Oh, man. Nothing. Do you think you done seeing the set?

That's why. That's it. Okay? This is a new one I added to the set that you ain't seen yet. But you know what? They over your comedy. They over my fucking comedy.

They over your comedy dreams. You know, that's the craziest part about being married or being with a woman for a long time because not only do they know how you're going to react, and I try to switch it up on purpose. Yeah, right? So they'd be like, I already know what your daddy going to say.

I already know what he's going to say. And so you might overhear that. And so then they come to you, I'll be like, no, no, no, I'm thinking about it. No, that's, maybe we can do that. Yeah, yeah. No, no, that's not going to happen. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah. Like every single time, man. I just had a thought that one day, many years from now, we're going to be doing this podcast, and you're just going to grab your heart, right? Don't do it. And then I'm going to look at you and I'm going to grab my heart.

And all of them are just going to laugh thinking that we're fucking around about heart attacks. And that's going to be it. And that's going to be it. That's going to be it. That's going to be it. That's going to be it. It's going to be y'all's fault. God.

Whoa. I'm going to fuck around, play with the joke, play along. Grabblog. He was not singing. Oh, say, can you see? All I ask, if that happened to Dwayne, just play, how sweet. To be an idiot and let it just fade out. Oh my God.

Life, man. You got to enjoy this shit is going to happen regardless. To every one of you, if you're lucky. If you're fucking lucky, man. If you're lucky and you're blessed. I had a tear this morning thinking about it. I was like, how lucky am I to reach this stage? Bro.

To reach a stage. Like some people never even get here. Man, my wife, it's so funny. My wife said something the other day. She was saying how much gratitude. She said, like, I just woke up feeling so grateful this morning. And I was like, I've been feeling that to the last couple of months, so.

I'm like, Oppenheimer? There's something about to happen? Oh, you know what I'm saying? You're too great. Yeah, come on. I can't feel good, bro. Feel grateful. But I've never been here.

What does that mean? I've never been with to this level of gratitude. You've never been happy. You never been calm in that regard to you're like, oh, something wrong must be coming up. Something bad is going to happen. Yes. And then it's like all that therapy and shit finally kicks in. Like, bro, enjoy it.

Enjoy it. You know what I mean? You earned it. And I'm not even talking about life. We're talking about being success. I'm talking about just, I am happy as a human. Yo, you know what I'm saying? We wake up.

We're relatively healthy. Relatively. You know what I mean? Got a beautiful family, you know, great friends. And I'm just happy. Like, you know, with all the bullshit that goes on in life is just whatever. Yo, look into your health. Maybe that's a takeaway.

Maybe that's the fucking takeaway. You look into your health. Go get your heart checked. I did everything. I did the colonoscopy in December. But you did that for personal enjoyment. That shit was fun. I'm going to be honest with you.

The drugs? Yeah. Worth it. That shit they give Michael Jackson, totally can see why he ODed on that shit, yo. Oh, really? And every doctor I give you on that for a colonoscopy. They had the propovobob?

Yes, they give you that for the colonoscopy and the endonoscopy. And both doctors that did it to me both said the same thing. What's endonoscopy? When they do the thing down your throat. So you had something in your ass and you? your mouth at the same time. You are wild, bro. You know what's crazy?

You can't get spit roasted and talk about it on the podcast without a fast forward. I had a little yeast on the esophagus, bro. You had a little what? A little yeast on the asopagus. Come on, son. Come on, son. There's a joke here that I can't make because it's too, it's about why a man would have yeast on the esophagus.

I'm just saying, there's a joke that I can't have made. that I think you're making. I'm joking. Right, though? Are we thinking the same joke? Of course. Okay, all right, but, you know, it's wifey. I can't say that.

I can't say that. That's crazy. What do they do with the yeast of the asophagus? You need to make a sour dough loaf out of that shit, bro. Come on. Scoop it out. Well, esophagus was straight. Not the esophagus, what it's called?

The endoscopy. Yeah. But that is at the same time? No. I'm just saying, that's crazy. What if they did, they put the same camera in your throat that they put in your ass? Yo. That would be wow.

Which one would you go first? Yo, the colonoscopy, endanoscopy, combination. Only in Jamaica. In Canada. Toronto and Jamaica, you can get the colonoscopy, endanoscopy. Combination. You get the bone. Don't worry.

You ain't seen Drake say that shit say that shit. No. Oh, my God. Pull up the Drake. Yo, you gotta pull it up. You don't even know what I'm saying. Pull up the Drake freestyle. I thought you were saying

because it's the most gay thing. Bro. So you were making it Jamaican. Drake is the funniest rapper without even trying to be. He don't even know what he'd be doing. What happened?

Watch this shit. That was hilarious. That was hilarious. Watch this. Watch this. That's my man Gabe on the radar freestyle show that he does. Gabe is a DJ on Power 105, New York,

but he started this on the radar platform by himself about five years ago, and he's cooking. He's gotten to the level where he got Drake pulling up to do freestyles. No, Gabe, my guy, he didn't give us to do, we did a little podcast together for a minute called Comic Kings.

No way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because he was an intern in, but he was just like, he was an intern at Power. And like me and him used to always just talk about comic books all the time. So one day my dude Tony, who does digital at I heard, he's like, yeah, y'all should do a comic book podcast. When was this? Before we ever did one?

No, no, no, no. This was during. Yeah, this was during. This was recently. This is probably, it probably was about five or six years ago because it's, because on the radar has been around for like five years. So it's been about six, seven years ago. Me and Gabe was doing that.

But he started on the radar, man. And it's been dope because he started off just covering the drill scene in New York. And I'm glad he pivoted, man, because all of them started to die. So he wouldn't have nobody to put on there. And so, you know, he started just focusing on new rappers, you know, in general. And so now he's gotten to the point when he started doing dope-ass freestyle, like the Ice Spice freestyle that even got Drake in ice spice pool was from on the radar. And I guess Drake just been paying attention.

So he decided to pull up. Listen to this. Listen to this shit. Combination. Come on, man. That is hilarious. Yo, who's the dude? Central C?

Yeah. Fire. Yeah, he can spit, man. Central Speed gets busy. Andy got a very LGBTQ-friendly song. I don't know if you got a... I don't know if you got accused of being homophobic. How can I be homophobic?

Well, my bitch is gay. My girl gay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can, there's an answer to that. You can still be homophobic if your girl is gay. That means nothing. But it's a great record.

That's true. It's a great. Great record, man. Yeah. Now, he got bars, man. No, he can really rap. Yeah, they both killed that freestyle. No, no, no, they went crazy.

They went crazy. Salute the game, man. Movies, what did you see this weekend, man? Oppenheimer. Did you enjoy it? I did enjoy it. I haven't seen it, but I'm down to do a review of it anyway. And Barbie.

Haven't seen Barbie down to do a review of it anyway? I didn't see Barbie. My wife saw Barbie. Then we went and saw Oppenheimer. and I did enjoy the movie. Christopher Nolan is my favorite director. I think he's like the most brilliant man making films right now. But it was a little different than it didn't exactly live up to what I thought it was going to be.

What did you think it was going to be? I thought it was going to be more of a story about a man saving society. Or destroying it. Yes. I haven't seen the movie Yeah It's more of a story like Is it justified

What happened to Oppenheimer Because he was treated a certain way After they made the bomb So I thought I was going in there going Oh this is the story about The Time Crunch to make the bomb And they ended up making it before the Germans Because of that

We ended up winning the war But historically that's not accurate Because the Germans Basically what they do They bent over before the bomb was made, and then it was made, and the Japanese were still fighting, and then we dropped on the Japanese.

But what's very interesting about the movie is there is not one good character in the movie. Oh, everybody's a villain? Everybody is just both good and bad. Because what they're working on is something that everybody knows is bad, but they think it's for the greater good of the world that they have it.

They care so much about their little science shit that they're not even thinking about all the deaths that could be associated. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they just want to see this big thing blow up. And Oppenheimer's a piece of shit. He's like fucking the other scientist wise and shit. You know what I mean?

Like, he's still like engaging. Basically later in his career. I looked at that as a stress reliever though. Maybe. I haven't seen the movie though. I looked at it as like an absolute egomaniac. Okay. Where it's just like, I can do whatever I want.

I'm the smartest guy. I can build a bomb. If I want, I can blow it up. I can fuck anybody's wife. I can do whatever I want because the world. revolves around me. It's like if Tony Stocks never turned the Iron Man. Yeah. If Tony Stocks never made that pivot.

Yes. I haven't seen the movie though. Yeah, I know. That's these are the best reviews without seeing it. Yes. How much worldwide? 200Ms. Damn, well, we love that. That's not even fucking with Barbie. Well, Barbie, well, I want to get into Barbie in a second just as like a cultural moment. But yeah, what was

interesting about the Oppenheimer thing is that like also like he had all these ties to communists. Like his wife was a part of the Communist Party. Then she left it. His brother was in a communist party. Left it. Like, his best friend was in the communist party. And, like, he's banging his side bitch who was in a communist party. And it's like...

His Maxine? His Maxine, 100%. And basically, like... Did she end up being bad for him? I don't want to give it away. Actually, it's historical record. They know what happens. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she ends up killing herself. And then Maxine, bro, huh? Did she take anybody out with her before she did it? No, I don't

think so. She ends up killing herself. I don't know if... I don't know if... Yeah, yeah. But what I'm saying is, You're making the bomb, right? You're making the bomb. You have access to all the information, and you're still fraternizing with these communists when you know America is trying to keep communism out of America.

Still got a dick. No, what I'm trying to say is like it's just all ego. Like I can hurt anybody around me. I can do anything I want to anybody around me. I can engage with communists, even though the government is telling me not to and I have top secret information. They could literally be trying to extract that information from me

and giving it to the Soviets who are also trying to make a bomb. Even though we're allies in this war, we don't know what's going to happen. afterwards. Like, what I thought was cool about Nolan is that he gave a well-rounded look at Oppenheimer. And I didn't know this until afterwards. The movie is shot in black and white and color. And the black and white scenes are the realistic view, I think, of Oppenheimer. Yeah, I saw it in 70mm. You didn't see the movie. You're right. The color scenes are the, his view of himself.

Or maybe I'm fucking that up And I didn't know going into it So some are in color, summer and black and white But I didn't realize that one of them Is what Oppenheimer is thinking is happening to him And the black and white is the objective view Of what was really going on And had I known that going into it, I'm like,

Ooh, I kind of want to see it again Because maybe that would have completely transformed The way I looked at the film Did you see Barbie? I did not see Barbie But I can give a review with it without seeing it. I didn't see it either.

My daughter went to go see it. Did she dress up? Did she dress up? Yeah. Yes. Yeah, I don't know. Barbie, like a pink Barbie t-shirt and like a cowboy hat. That's what I thought was brilliant about the movie is it tapped in the culture.

And that like people were dressing up. It felt like Halloween. It gave them, it tapped in their own identity. And it gave them an excuse to do something for the whole day. Listen, all this is is a massive marketing campaign to relaunch, not relaunch, but to get the Barbie dolls pop. And it will. Oh, 100%. I don't want to sound like I'm, eh.

All I'll say is when I was in France, I had a meeting with some top execs at Mattel, and we had a whole conversation about this. You know what I'm saying? And it was a very insightful conversation, not even just into what's happening at Mattel, but even how certain top execs see things as far as diversity is concerned.

And, you know, I mean, I can say, Well, one conversation we were having was about diversity dolls, right? In particular, you know, black dolls. And they were explaining how, of course, they want to do more black dolls and things of that nature. But a lot of times when they put these black dolls on the shelves, they don't move the way that they should. One doll he told me about in particular was Ludacris's daughter has a doll because she has a show on Netflix called Commerce World. I think it's called. And so they did a dog.

doll based on the character Carmel. If I'm not mistaken, on Ludicris's daughter, I don't remember. But they did the doll. The doll didn't necessarily move the way they wanted it to move. And what happens in those situations, places like Target and Walmart, who are like their biggest distributors are like,

yo, we can't keep this on the shelf because it's taking away shelf space from the things that will actually sell. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's like, is it racism or is it capitalism? It's all capitalism. It's the same reason why they don't have black Band-Aids.

I mean, not really. You know what I mean? They have way more beige band-aids. No, for real. Because the Band-Aid company is going, you know what? The majority of people are kind of beige-ish. Yeah. So between whites, Latinos,

light-skinned blacks, we can kind of cover all of them with beige. But if they just have a dark-skinned black band-aid, way few of them are going to be purchased. I always wonder about the Band-Aid thing, too, though, because even with Band-Aid's, it's not like nobody's really the color of the They're just trying to do the closest to everybody.

That's right. One size fits all, if you will. I think when people started making noise about the fact that they wanted a more darker colored band-aid, that's when they started to do the more flesh-colored band-aids. But, I mean, the conversation with the guy from Mattel was interesting because it really, like you said, it's not about racism. It's about capitalism. They want to do the dog.

I'm not even going to. I'll just keep it to black and white. But there's other things we discussed. Hey, I know exactly what you're talking. I'm just saying there's other dogs we discussed that don't move at all. Like, not even a little bit, like no motion. You know what I mean? And there's, you know, they're trying to figure out even ways to do that.

They want to do a more direct-to-consumer model with that. I'm serious. Because they're like, we'll make it. But we're not going to make a bunch of them and put it out. Like, we'll make it. And then you order it and then we'll send it to you. And he was even talking about that with, you know, some of the black, because he was like, yo, should we do more direct the consumer?

But my wife made a really good point to the guy about at least the Commerce World thing because he was like, I just don't know how we market. And she was like, well, Commerce World is on Netflix. Netflix don't have no commercials. I bought my toys based off my kids watching YouTube or watching, you know, Nickelodeon or Disney or whatever it is and seeing commercials. That's interesting. And then they see the commercials and be like, Mommy, will you buy that for me?

Daddy, will you buy that for me? Netflix don't have no commercial. So she was like, I didn't even know that Karma had a dog. And our kids watch Karma's world. But we didn't know Karma had a doll. Yeah. You know? So long story short, the Barbie movie is just a big-ass commercial for Mattel.

All this advertising that you've been seeing are just big-ass promotion and marketing to get the Barbie dolls cooking and going. And it will go. And I would say one thing specifically about the dolls, which is different than, like, for example, X-Men or Marvel or any of these types of things. is that like the reason why there's multiple dolls is because the doll is supposed to represent the one you relate to the most.

That's right. And if black people are 12% of the population and the women are 6% of the population, right? And white people are 65% of the population or whatever white people are. You're just like, okay, we're gonna probably sell more dolls that look like the consumer if we go at that chunk. We had that whole conversation.

But on the opposite end, Black Panther isn't meant to be like you. Black Panther is just a dope superhero. So white kids are going to go, ooh, I want to look like the dope superhero. And the black kids are going to go, ooh, I want to look like a dope superhero. And they kind of look like me, which is cool.

So I think in those cases, where the character isn't only representative of you, you'll see more people buying the diversity. What I told them was one of the ideas I had was like, I think sometimes adults overthink things that kids don't. Because, you know, kids just have diverse friend group.

You know what I mean? Because they don't know about race. They don't know, right? So they know black, they know white. And we forget that, you know, a lot of these young white girls, they love black girls. They love their hair texture. They love the way they dress, everything else. I say what I would have done, and I think they're starting to do it now, like they have

a Brooklyn Barbie, right? I'm like, why I call it Brooklyn Barbie? Just call her Brooklyn. Barbie is Barbie, and she's got this whole group of friends. These are her friends. So once you get Barbie. You got that already. Give me a world.

And I think that's what the, I haven't, I haven't seen the movie. Also, Brooklyn is representative of something beyond race. Yeah. And that's what's really cool. That's smart. Yeah. Yeah. Oh shit.

Shout to Jamie. Did we talk about Jamie? Yes. You didn't see Day Clone Time. Roan? Bro, you got to watch the Clone Time. No, is it really good? It's actually really good, Joe.

I watched it twice over the weekend. I watched it. Well, I'm going to be honest with you. I started watching it Friday night and fell asleep. My wife watched it. told me how good it was. We watched it again Saturday night. It's really good.

It's really interesting. And it just, you know, two things, man. Number one, when Jamie Fox, and everybody thought Jamie Fox was about to pass away, everybody was giving it up. Everybody was talking about how Jamie is by far probably the most talented person we've ever seen, which is very true.

And keep in mind, we've been saying that when he didn't have anything. That's right. I mean, there's nothing Jamie Fox can't. do great. A lot of us can do some things good. Jamie Fox does multiple things great. All of the things that make other people great, whether it's singing, he does that great. Acting, he does that great. Comedy, he does that great. The things that people have one of, that one thing they have that makes them great, he has multiple. And everybody was

giving it up for him. But then you watch a movie like they clone Tyrone, which he absolutely bodies. He plays a character named Flick Charlie. He absolutely kills it and I don't see people giving it up for Jamie like that. I need to watch this movie. This movie didn't get enough press and now they can't do the press because of the writer's show. What is it on?

Netflix. I'm going to watch it. It was number one trending on Netflix all weekend. The best thing about it, it did get a lot of press which is, I say, I keep telling you, God is the greatest executive producer of comedy ever. They've been saying Jamie Fox is a clone for two weeks. And then this movie, they clone Tyrone comes out.

It's amazing. It's unbelievable. But that might be a nice little PR campaign that they're cooking. I don't think Jamie would play with his health in that way. No, not Jamie. I'm saying the movie. Yeah, yeah, they might be playing with it. I mean, he even played with it.

Like, you know, he even did a video saying, like, they didn't clone me, but they clone Tyrone. You know what I mean? But phenomenal movie. I don't even want to talk to nobody about it until you've actually seen it. Because it's a very interesting movie with a lot of different layers to it and a lot of different metaphors. A lot of different metaphor

You seen it, Alex? No, no, yeah. Oh, okay. Well, salute to Jamie. We glad Jamie's back. You want to pay some bills? Let's do it. Let's pay some bills.

what the inspiration was. Now let's get back to the show. What else we got on the docket, guys? You want to talk titties? Titties is always a good transition. Woman throws 36G bra size. But she don't got a dick, why are we talking about her? You know what's so interesting about this, though?

What? She threw her 36g bra size on stage, and now she's claiming since Drake said, who's the girl with the 36G cup bra, playboy is hitting her up, And Playboy is like, yo, we want you to do a spread. I don't believe that, yo. I believe it.

I feel like if this is true. Well, I think I need to see, like, what they look like in a bikini or something. It just showed you. This is just had a picture. It's from the back. I feel like the bar to do nothing. The bar to do nothing is literally nothing. Okay, explain that.

Like, it's so easy to do nothing nowadays. Like, all of a sudden she throws a bra on stage and now Playboy's hitting her up to be in a spray. Well, yeah. I mean, like, the bra is a letter we didn't even know existed in bras. So there's obviously going to be some intrigue about it. Oh, there's no such thing as GGs? I didn't know that there was GGs in bras. I didn't know.

Taylor, is there GGs in bras? Yeah. I had no idea. Taylor, is that also just normal? Yeah. What if I was like, yo, a girl G-sized tits is regular? Like, what are you talking about? Oh.

What would you say? That's not regular. Usually we're like seized and... I think G's are pretty... Like, if you don't have a size of G tits, you're basically got a small sack of tits. I didn't know people were still in the breast like that. Oh, dude.

I mean, I know you're a Hemby's guy. The heavies are back. I didn't know. He didn't know. He's a baby. That's why you got... That's why she got big breasts more so. That is not why she got big breasts

because she got a baby tail. You are such a hater. You are a little old old. Wait, time, time, I tell me, why is that a heating? She didn't just grow to 30-6 G. You're trying to act like if you had a baby They do, true, but we don't even know how old our child is And I scroll up

Like, who cares how old is that? What do you mean? What if the baby's three? They go back after you have the baby. You're just trying to act like you would have huge tits like that If you had a baby. I wouldn't want huge tits like that. Well, then how was you control it?

Who's this? You just want the baby. Maybe. I'm talking with the rabbit. Okay. Nah, that's not her. They don't. Man, scroll through.

Maybe she just threw the bra to get Drake's attention. That's pretty hell. Yeah, as I said, maybe she just brought a size to throw it. Nah, maybe she did that. Maybe she just put a bra to get the attention. Keep gone. Maybe they'll see it. That's not it.

There's no way in hell. No? Way in hell. I mean, this is crazy. What are we looking at? All I see is dinner plates. All I mean is food. I know.

We can't eat anything delicious anymore for the rest of our lives. I know, right? Oh, no, I still do, though. I don't go crazy. I don't do no. fried foods. I don't do, I've never really done a lot of sugar like that.

But I'm not, I'm not, I'm not playing that game. My doctor even told me don't do that. He was like, don't do that for yourself. Because he told you to take the pill. Once you take the pill,

you can kind of. Well, medicate me up, baby. You know what I'm saying? You can't have everything in life. Facts. Jalen Brown signed the richest deal in NBA history. What is it?

Five years, $304 million. Congratulations, Jalen. Congratulations, Jail. I am happy to see a black man getting their money, but I have to say that is fucking ridiculous. Like, you, I like Jay LeBron as a player. But he hasn't won a championship.

He hasn't won an MVP. I don't think Boston's on the brink of winning a championship. Like, this is the kind of money you give to somebody after they don't got you a ring. You sound like to like tell it right now. What do you mean? Five years. $304 million.

Yo, man. Give it up to that man. I'm not mad at it, but what's the incentive to do anything when you get this? He's saying what everybody's thinking, which is exactly, how is he a max guy if he's not playing like a max guy in the playoff? Yeah. How? That's the kind of money you give Yonis. Yeah, but this is the thing.

It's like, when there's a salary cap, the reality is you would give Yonis $100 million a year. But there's a salary cap. So. But that shit about to change, too, because of the new, the new TV deal about to happen in, I think, like, two years, year, too. Maybe. So, yeah, probably will. But I guess what I'm saying is, like, you would give Yianas a $100 million contract, but you can't because there's a salary cap. So you give him 50.

And then there are other people that aren't as good as Yonis that also get the 50. Isn't it? You know what I'm saying? I know the game, I know, you know, times change, but, like, if you say, show me a top 10 list of the greatest, players in NBA history. And you look at the money that they made. And then you say what a richest NBA contracting history went to Jalen Brown. That's just because you're going to say why. Yeah, but he's the first to sign. Like other people are going to sign and then have the richest as well. It's just a peculiar thing. Is Jalen Brown a five year 300? I'm not, get your money,

King. Are you a five year, $304 million player? Westbrook is getting $8 million this year. Yeah. Even as a veterans minimum. some bullshit for Russell Westbrook, yo. Yeah. Like, come on. So if they got that kind of money to throw around five, you know, how much, five year, three and four million? How much is that a year?

$60 million? Five years. $300 million. $60. God. Damn. That's too much, bro. That's too much.

That's the new benchmark. And now every single contract after that is going to be the new. Yeah. But if you start $304 for Jalen Brown, where do you? you go. Yeah. Well, you can't go. And I like Jalen Brown.

That's the top. I guess what I'm saying is like, we have to look like this. Like what other team is going, Jalen Brown is our number one guy? And maybe we're living in a time in the NBA where you have a few guys that are eating up 90% of the salary cap. And then you have a bunch of role players that are making the veterans minimum. It seems like that's where we're going. You have two or three guys that are getting max or close.

That's insane. And then everybody else gets almost nothing. Maybe I don't look at Jailen like that because he plays. next to Jason Tatum. So maybe I'm not looking at, because when you said that about, you know, how many teams would look at Jalen

is the number one guy, how many would? None. None. Am I missing something? Did you see Austin Rivers? Did you see Austin Rivers complaining about the CVA

and complaining about what's going on? No. It's interesting. He's like, yeah, the new CBA, everything's so top-heavy. So basically he's trying to, he's complaining because he's getting like $2 million a year, right,

with his veterans minimum or something like that. And he's saying, that all the big money is going to the big guys. And that takes away from the money that the other guys get. Top heavy, 36 GGs, bro. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying. I guess I'm not knocking Jalen Brown.

I want Jalen Brown to get his money, do your thing. But Jesus Christ, I'm just looking at it from a business perspective. If you pay in Jalen Brown, who I don't know if he's an A guy. Like here's a question. I don't know if he's an A guy. He might be a 1B. Here's the question you'd ask yourself. Who is a better player, Jimmy Butler or Jailen Brown?

Jimmy Butler? It's not even close. Jimmy buckets. Right? Not even close. So what is Jimmy getting? Did Jimmy get that super max at Miami? What's Jimmy getting?

Look that up. I know he ain't getting no 300. If he can't be getting 300 and 4 million because that's the richest deal in NBA history, what's Jimmy getting? Jimmy got to be, if Jimmy not getting the max in Miami something. Well, I think he is going to get the max 100%. What if they signed Damien Lillard?

What? They signed Damien Lillard, you know? But Jimmy's the type guy. I think Jimmy's made so much money already that he's like, man, I want to win. Jimmy's on a three-year, 146 minutes. God damn. So Jalen Brown's going to make in two years. What Jimmy Butler's whole deal is?

How much did you say three-year? What deal? Three years. Why do you only sign up a three-year? That might have to do with the fact that, like, the, they want to. But it was a trade, too. No, it might be the trade, or it might be- Well, there's a four-year contract extension, they said.

184. And the three-year is guaranteed, though, right? Well, not if the contract says it's player option or team option. Oh, okay. Okay, okay. But still, yeah. I guess, Hey, man,

Sluped to Jalen Brown. Yeah. More importantly, salute the Bernice Burgos. Okay. Why? You take that down? I think they together.

I don't know. Last I checked. I just wanted to salute Bernice, bro, you know who? Bernice needs a five-year, $3004 million dollars. I feel like she had a few of those. Bernice,

even as a veteran, even as a veteran, Bernice should still get a five-year, $3004 million-dollar deal, yo. Bro, you know who to white Bernice Burgos is? Who? The arena shake.

Never seen her. Pull her up. This girl has the greatest Rizze of any woman in history. Irina Shake. Bernice don't even got no Rizzo. Bernice is just a nice person. She has the greatest Riz in the history of women. Bernice is just a nice. She got a kid with Bradley Cooper.

Okay. She's rumored right now to be dating Tom Brady. She was dating Cristiano Ronaldo for five years. She was dating Kanye West Barry. This was the quick girl that she was seen with. and then it kind of split up. She has only attacked, hunted, and sniped out the top of the top of entertainment and sports.

What did she get out, Leo, too? Leo, she's an assassin. What did she get out? You are helpless. If Arena comes for your man, there's nothing he could do. I can't give her the Riz crown until you tell me what she got out of it, though. You know what I mean?

What kind of car? What kind of house? She got a baby from Bradley. so she's always good no matter what for the next 18 years. I don't know that sags.

Also, she was, she was, I was finding to see that sag right. That strike might break them but that's Bradley. Bradley kicked up. Bradley going to be all right.

Bradley caked up. I'm just saying it is unbelievable her roster, bro. She is. That's great. 22 million dollars. I never even heard of.

Oh, she was like one of the base models. Oh. Sports Australia. She was with Ronaldo? She was the Ronaldo for five years. Like, like, in America,

we don't, really fully understand what Ronaldo is? Who don't? We. I'm not French. I understand fully what Ronaldo is. The French understand it more.

Hey, man. I just look at his contract. Oh, okay. All the other shit. I'm just saying, being the girl that's dating Ronaldo, it's like the closest in the world, it's like the closest thing to dating. I don't think nobody over here. Maybe Jordan. God?

Yeah. Like, I'm just like, it's insane. And that would have been like Jordan in the 90s. Yeah. You know what I mean? Mm. Well, salute to her. Clearly she's one.

Unbelievable risk. Unbelievable risk. She's riding around with Tom and the Phantom. Might be. Might be. It is what it is. Slude to her. A lot of people loved our conversation last week about what's going on in Hollywood.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I still stand by what I say. I feel like, you know, it's going to end up being two screaming services at the end of the day. And it'll be Disney and Netflix. There'll be the last one standing. Disney will acquire Hulu, even though I think... They're already on it.

Yeah, but it's something. I think they got to... It's still got to buy it or something. It's something I don't fucking know. They were talking about selling it off, but I think Disney will end up just acquiring it, purchasing it, and it'll all be one thing. And I think everything else will fade. I don't think Amazon will do original programming.

I don't think Apple will do original programming. And I still think that we're going to go back to a world where... it'll be appointment television again, even though, like, HBO will put a show on Sunday at 10 o'clock, and then Monday at a certain time, it will hit the app or the streaming platform or whatever the fuck it is. You know what I mean? And I think that way you keep both audiences, you know what I mean? Because there's some people who don't, sadly ain't fucking with screaming services yet. They still got regular cable television, you know? So now you got both audiences. And like your points you was making last week, people still want convenience.

So if I missed that show on Friday, Sunday night at 10, I'll just watch it the next day. You know? I mean, you could just watch it later that night. What's up? I don't know if you made that point on here or on your Instagram about like if the streamers release their numbers, then they're going to lose money and then they pay. Oh, we talking about that last week? Yeah. Yeah.

A lot of, I heard from a few of the performers, they're like they want them to release the numbers. It'll never happen. because then the studios will go back to regular TV because that's where they'll make the bulk of their money. If the Netflix can't pay for them to make good shows, then they're going to just start going back to the TV. But nobody's watching. Go, go, go.

No, I don't say studios are going to go back to regular TV just because it makes more sense for them because they've already failed in the streaming world. Yes, also, but the issue isn't just the content, right? Like some people are like, yeah, it's because all their shows suck. It's like, well, there's been a lot of shitty shows that have been on TV for years that people watch. The issue is, and why that won't work if it goes back to regular TV,

is that there's not as many viewing hours on TV anymore. TV is competing with this. It's competing with Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. I go every night, I turn on Netflix or I turn on Disney Plus, or I turn on one of the HBO, and I scroll for a little bit. I can't find something. I don't want to commit to a show. or a movie that I don't really know about.

And I go, you know what, I'm going to have so much fun scrolling this for 15 minutes and then passing out. So they're losing so many hours. Like think about how many hours you spend on your phone a day. If you actually look, you could six hours, eight hours, whatever. All those hours on your phone are hours away from TV. So they're losing man hours to the phone. So what they need to do is either create content that exists on the places where people are, right?

Or downsize how much total content they're putting out. Because there's not enough hours to watch it all. That's what you do. If I'm HBO, if I'm Showtime, I'm not trying to compete with the Netflix's of the world. No more Netflix, these are going to have to slow down a little bit too and Disney Plus. I'm not trying to compete with them. What I'm doing is I'm going to create four tent pole of vicks every fucking year. There you go.

I'm going to create four shows that I can do mass marketing and promotion campaigns around. And I'm going to push the fuck out of those shows. We're going to live and die by that. Because you can't keep up with Netflix if you're HBO and you got to do 10, 15 shows a fucking year just to survive. Hell, Netflix can barely keep up with Netflix. You know what I mean? You damn show can't keep up with Disney Plus. Even though Disney Plus model is a little bit better because they're putting out a show a week, but they're still spending too much fucking money.

And that's the thing about the networks where they're just like the actors want upside if the show does well, right? But they're not asking to take any downside if the show doesn't do well. So the networks are going, we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars. Nine out of ten of these shows don't get any views and lose money. One out of the ten wins. We need to recoup as much as we can off of that one out of ten to pay for the other shows that don't make anything. Simple. But the actors are going, well, if my show hits, I want to get paid on that upside.

And they're like, that upside is what allowed us to make ten. Now, what I would say is, one, actors, I want you to get all the fucking money you can. So argue for your money, that's fine. But what the execs might need to do, and I understand the exes, the actors are going, these execs are making $50 million. Why the fuck are they making so much? I agree with the actors on that.

If you're scoring one out of ten, if you're shooting one out of ten from the field, you don't need to be making $50 million a year. Unless on Bob, I. Well, he's not shooting one out of ten. I know. Now it's been a little rough because he's been away from the game, but he was shooting like 10 for 10,

so he was making crazy money. People forget, Bob got the Michael Jordan last two-year contract. Bob got the Kobe contract from the Lakers. I'm Bob Iger. Before I retired, I was the guy. You know what I mean? I only came back because y'all were fumbling. Y'all fucking were fumbling.

I was on my fucking yacht with my kids. I didn't did it. You know what I mean? Y'all don't have to pay me to come out of fucking retirement. I don't want to be here. I don't want to fucking be here. Yes. No, Bob Iger, I understand why Bob Iger got the shit load of money.

He got. His track record speaks for itself. 100%. And I guess what I'm saying is the actor. can feel rightfully frustrated that they're the execs that are making all this money when they don't feel like they're getting paid, but know what you should criticize.

You shouldn't criticize them for you not getting dividends on your show or residuals on your shows that suck and no one watches. You should criticize them on shooting such a bad percentage from the field. Think about it. If they green light better shows, which is their job, right?

Is to make good decisions on the green lighting. Those shows will theoretically be more successful the more successful shows there are, the more money is generated, the more leverage you have to get residuals. When they're losing money and no money is being generated, they have no leverage for residuals because there's none to pay you.

I was looking at this show. I'm going to streamers, even the ones that pop, they're still not getting residuals on it. Yeah, but the problem is... No, but that's what I'm... What I just explained is what the networks are saying is

one out of ten pops. Nine out of ten lose tens of millions of dollars. Yeah. Where do you think the money from the... that profitable show is going. No, I get that for a TV network, but I'm talking about for the streamers. I'm talking about streamers.

That's what I'm talking about the one out of ten. I think the problem with the screeners is these actors think these streamers are making so much money and they're not. And I don't think people really understood the whole issue with like why the stock price is important and keeping it inflated as important. Because you can you can essentially get loans against your stock price, right? And use that money to create the content. But if your stock price drops, the loan itself becomes very insecure.

You're getting a loan of, let's just do round numbers, a million dollars, right, based on a couple million dollars worth of stock. But if that couple million dollars with the stock drops 50%. Now that bank is like, oh, shit. That loan isn't worth much now. Wall Street does shit itself if they saw that people weren't really watching all these motherfucking shows. Like I said last week, a lot of these streamers are focused on the stock. they were focused on what the stock price was, as opposed to what the actual profits they were bringing in were.

People keep bringing back, no, the stock price is based on how much money and how many subscribers are coming in. No, stock is predictive. The whole market is what is going to happen. You put your money in there because you're like, Apple is going to grow this, right? So we're predicting that Netflix will be the behemoth that has become. We're predicting that Apple might take it out, whatever.

It is predictive, the stock. market. So it's not based on what's coming in now. And if we see that nobody's watching any of the streamers, our prediction changes what is going to happen when we realize that nobody likes it and they might stop subscribing. We're going to go, ooh, I need to get my money out of there before everybody knows that this is a little bit of a Fugazi. It's a little bit of a Ponzi scheme. Then they take their money out. Stock price falls. No more lending to make shows. No more shows get put out. and just hypothetical on that, if that were to happen,

then wouldn't a lot of streamers go belly up and then those studios have to now make the shows for the network. That's what what networks? Like on TV networks? That'll be the only place. HBO, the premium cable networks, like, I think you guys,

all you got to simply do is look at everybody who jumped in the screen. Just hold on one second. Let's just address that real quick. You feel like if it doesn't work for streaming, you're going, oh, there's these networks that are just existing there and they need the content

and then everything will be fine. If nobody's watching it in the most convenient way to watch it, which is streaming, even less people are watching on the networks. It's not like, oh, once it goes back on the networks, people are going to watch it. The only reason...

That's why you do both. No, no, but what I'm saying is the only reason things are streaming is because they hoped that's where the eyeballs would be. But that's why you move both. You gotta meet people where they are. But they're not watching cable.

That's why. That's not necessarily true. Yellowstone did very well on the Paramount Plus network. That's streaming. No, no, no. They got a linear channel too. So Yellowstone would do well on the Paramount Plus network, but then it would do just as well or even better on the streamers.

So why not have both audiences? Maybe that's because Yellowstone skews a little older. So some of those people still have cable. Because people don't want to pay for cable and pay for streaming. And eventually those old people or the people that are doing it are going to stop. Yeah, and some things are like events, right? Like before you. Muffogers is watching that shit every Sunday.

That drag, no, but people would watch on 10 o'clock when it would come on HBO. And we tweet about it. A lot of people would watch it through Max or HBO Max or whatever they're doing. Absolutely, but that's what I'm saying? Why not do both, like that dragon show? I never even used to watch that shit. The Game of Thrones. But that shit used to be

trending all the time whenever it would come on HBO. Because if you have something streaming, you don't need both. It exists streaming. whenever you want it and at 10 o'clock when it comes out. So there's no reason to have a less convenient form. It's like saying, but everybody having to cut their cable cordage it, though. I still got cable.

I'm aware. I'm aware. And don't remember, I have YouTube TV, which has the ability to watch cable for sports, et cetera. I'm just saying what Alex's scenario that was pitched to me was, was if it doesn't work on streaming, then things will go back to cable. The only reason things wouldn't work on streaming

is because not enough people are watching. The reason why it moved off of cable is because even less people are watching. Well, there are not enough people are watching on the screaming service. And that's what thing. Only two. Hulu and Disney Plus. So everybody else is suffering. That's why HBO Max then changed six times.

Israel Mexican changed. They're screaming at five times in the last two years. And we can't like talking. Absolutely. People are still watching people. TV people are still streaming. Absolutely. That's why they do both.

If you take away one completely, then... That's what a mistake lies. There's going to be some migration back to the other. By the way, you say migration back like people have left. Cable haven't gone anywhere. That's what I'm saying. We still watch shit on cable now. Netflix goes belly up.

Netflix ain't going. It's not going on. No, Netflix ain't going on. I mean, if they put out their numbers and then their stock price tanks. No, Netflix is the only one that's in the black. Netflix and Hulu are the only ones that's in the black. Because they don't release their numbers. If they release their numbers.

If they release their numbers and the stockholders say, oh, shit, y'all really not doing well, they pull all their money out, Netflix goes belly up overnight. I don't know if that's the case. I think people are watching Netflix. Yeah, I don't know if it goes belly up, right? We, because I don't understand their books, and I don't know if they're, if they are profitable, if they're making more money than they're spending, which is definite of being in the black, right? Then they should be okay because they're making more than that. I don't know what type of loans they have to pay up.

I don't know what type of debt they're in. I don't know. I don't know enough about the books. And Netflix probably will see back up because, you know, we forget what happened before everybody had their streaming services. Before everybody had their streaming services, they were doing. licenses and deals with companies like Netflix. So it might go back to that. I just saw Insecure is back on Netflix now.

Insecure. All, how many seasons was it? I don't remember how many seasons. Five or six are all back on Netflix right now. To me, that's a sign of things to come. It never was on Netflix. It was on HBO. It should be on HBO backs.

I guess what I'm trying to say is the issue is not where it's playing. It's clearly more convenient and people gravitate towards convenience. Like, for example, how many yellow taxes have you taken lately? None, right? That's because they're fucking disgusting. It's the same. How many times you're going to get in one of these shit and see sperm on the back seat?

You know what I mean? Fucking needles. You know what I mean? Why would you get in the fucking yellow cab? You've been a yellow tag. They're not like that, bro. So, regardless of- Probably not now because they're clean their shit up because they Uber and Lyft.

But now, if you're right, if we get rid of Uber, right? Yeah, people will be forced to do more, to ride more yellow taxes. but the reality is that more people are doing Uber than do yellow taxis when both exist. Also, and if we get rid of Uber, those people won't go back to yellow taxis, those people will go to the competitor, which is Lyft.

One fundamental difference is more convenient. That will happen with streaming, just real quick, that will happen with streaming as well. The biggest issue of all time, I think right now, is the numbers are low, not because it's streaming, not because it's cable, it's because TikTok, Instagram reels, YouTube shorts are dominating the hours spent watching things and more entertaining, frankly, than a lot of shows and more engaging and more addictive.

And people would rather do that than watch TV at the end of the day. Until you create a show, until you create a show that those places love. So you want to create a show that those places eat up, that those places take clips from and repose. Amen. So now people want to see that shit in real time because they want to catch the next hot meme or whatever.

You are right. The only difference, only pushback I would give on the taxi analogy is that Uber and Lyft just were better than taxes. That's what I'm saying. In every way. But no.

The screaming isn't better than cable in every way. It is better in terms of convenience and the convenience allows the shows to be worse and you still be satisfied. So in other words, an 8 out of 10 show that I can binge and watch whenever I want, I will watch.

That pisses me off more to be honest. What does that mean? If I spend eight hours watching some mid, it's one day, if you give me some mid over eight weeks, it's only an hour out of my week. So I'll drop off by week three. It happened to me before. I was watching Walking Dead and like it was season three or four or five. And it was like three mid episodes in a row.

And I was like, I ain't building my life around this shit. I got to like not do a show or not go out to dinner. It's too inconvenient and streaming has created the convenience. They've created a situation where they can put a show that's still good, but maybe not as a wait every week show on and you'll binge through it. But one, you go through the shows too fast, so they got to figure that out. They just need to put higher quantity out. And you're not competing with cable.

You're competing with fucking TikTok, man. I think what they have to do is, if the studios want to make money, they have to make shows where the eyeballs are, and they have to make content for social media. I think everybody should. I think that's the game. Oh, wow.

I think everybody should. Even for places like Quibi tried that. No. Could be tried to do the phone thing? No, no, no, not that. Not that. I'm not saying make, like, what did I do with stand-up? Nobody was watching it on TV.

So I was like, I'm going to put stand-up in a place where I can do it authentically, but also where I think the people are and they're gravitating too. Instagram, YouTube, right? now that is the industry standard because that's where the people are for standard. You got to be people where they are. You got to be, and if the people are on TikTok

and they're offering 10 minutes or they're doing whatever, you never know. Give them clips. Why not give them 10 minutes of a show? That's what? Like, why not take the Game of Thrones and say, hey, 10 minute preview on TikTok,

watch the full episode on cable. This is what I would do. You know what? Okay, ball. We just figured out, of course, Brin did say out Hollywood for usual. Boom. Right?

I want to be where the people are. That's right. Show comes out, right? I take a 10 minute clip. I don't know, TikTok got 10 minutes. I think you can do it maybe up to 10. Whatever the amount of reels is. I put that preview on Instagram, real, TikTok, everything else.

Boom. Then I say to watch the full episode. Go here. Sunday nights, 10 o'clock, HBO. Then boom, screaming services the next day. Come on, man. Can I tell you why I know that this will work? I have why, because one, we're billion idiots.

But two, they do this thing on TikTok, where people play. scenes from movies. And they'll do part one, part two, part three. And sometimes there's movies I've never fucking seen. Okay?

And I find myself watching and they'll be from the middle of a movie, not even the first scene. And I'll watch part one. And I'll be, oh shit, let me go to the page and I watch part two, I watch part three and I keep on watching

and then I go, I want to see the whole shit. Bro, you know what else that shit works? Old content. Like old movies that you haven't seen in a while but somebody will make a meme with some shit. That's what I'm talking about. It's the old shit. Yeah, you're like,

oh shit. We did that the other night with Love Jones, and that's my wife's favorite movie. We used to have that shit on DVD players. You got to be where the motherfucking people are. And because y'all put out so much fucking trash and garbage and TV and movies, they are no longer scrolling your shit. They are scrolling TikTok.

And it's also just more digestible. That's the new cable guy. Because also word of mouth, we always say word of mouth spreads things, too. So all of that is word of mouth. So if a show is hot, you're going to go watch it because you see people online talking about it. Also, Netflix doesn't allow. you to screenshot the show.

I told the people on Netflix, I'm like, I'm going to give you a gift. I go, I'm going to give you a fucking gift. Tell this to your boss. I don't even need credit for it. You tell this for your boss, and you get all the credit. Let your shows be screenshotable.

Memes drive culture. You can't record your show because they're worried people are going to put it out wherever. Let them put it out. Let it be culture. You know how many people went to go watch that Drake Freestock because of that one little combination?

Oh, exactly. They want to know what the fuck this means. What does this mean? We're talking about right now. That's right. Combination. The only thing, I don't know if... That's what Hollywood needs.

If you'll let it do a screenshot, and then they can do a full screen record, and then once you do that, then there's just going to be a whole bunch of free websites that... And stop flagging fucking people, Netflix and stop flagging fucking people when we record content and posting on Instagram. You should be happy we post on your fucking show.

But they're so protected of the shit. It doesn't matter. Let them post it on those sites. Most people don't even know how to get to those fucking sites. The only way they make money is from subscribers. No, but what I'm saying is let them do it. let them do it and then what's going to happen is people are going to get addicted to a show and this just going to become too inconvenient to go to the site you got to worry about getting a virus

maybe it's not good whatever and you're just like you know what fuck it i'll give you my eight bucks i'll give you my 12 bucks i'd have the 20 now but but what i'm saying or and if they're charging too much that's on them and they got to bring it down but get the content out there like it just like i didn't even know about the jamie fox movie have your shit screenshot about have somebody record the whole thing and throw it up on youtube and then you take it down in a day have there be trip built around the show. To that point, Day Clone Tyrone,

definitely number one trended in on Netflix this weekend. And I had no clue. Because of the internet. And I had no clue. Guaranteed because of the internet. Between the whole Jamie Fox stuff and then everybody watching it

and then reposting, guarantee because of the Jamie Foxx. Same thing happened with a movie like Get Out. Everybody wanted to run to go see Get Out because you wanted to know what the references were. When everybody started posting teacups and shit or the camera flashes, you got to do that.

Also, if you have something on social media that you think is really brilliant It's funny. It's interesting. You can send it to your boy, right? How often you sent a Netflix show to your boy? How often you sent an HBO show to your boy? How often you sent a Hulu show to your boy

by just one pressible button? Never. Yeah, you can't. I mean, I can tell them about it. You should be watching fucking such and such. Yeah, but now is telling somebody watching something is different than, yo, go to minute three on this right now. That's what we just did with the Drake combination.

Yeah, combination. It's like you have to adapt to the way things are being consumed and they're not doing it, and the stock price is high, so there's no real issue. But shit's got to change, bro. It's crazy how streamers are making the same mistake that TV made. Remember when linear television didn't want to post on YouTube, they didn't want to put clips on YouTube?

MTV killed itself on that one reason. They went to war with YouTube, and they're like, we won't put any of our stuff. Do you know how much Guy Code would have crushed on YouTube? It's probably best that it wasn't on. You might be right. When you think about how many episodes. Think about what we were doing.

What we said. When you think about how many episodes, they don't air anymore. That's facts, bro. When you think about how they try to bury a show. They try, think about how they try to bury a show like Guy Code with everybody who came from Guy Code. Is thriving. You, me, Duval, Pete Davidson, Aquafina, Nicole Byer. Like, Jesus Christ, Carly, Christ, Carly.

Chris DiStefano. Chrissy, Akka. Bro, it's Dan Sodor. There's so many people came from that show, bro. They don't want us to see that shit. When I started realizing that they were editing stuff from episodes of Guy Code and just not showing them, I buried that part of my life.

It was over, right? I didn't know what the fuck was going. I'm like, what the fuck was saying? You know what I did when they asked me to come to that reunion? Oh, you didn't do it. You remember. I forgot. Remember what they said to you?

I remember, but I don't remember. I don't know. This is what you said to me. They were like, we asked everybody and everybody said yes. No, two people said no. Oh, two people said no. Who was? You and Nicole.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I did that more for Ling. Ling wasn't involved. Oh, Ling wasn't involved? And Ling brought me in. So I was like, why are you going to cut this man out of his show?

Yeah. I didn't even think about it. Yeah, I didn't know that. Anyway, doesn't matter. You know, Sean, Ryan, Lynn, Warren, Warren. You know, Paul Richie, your fucking guys, man, gang, gang, gang, for life. Let's pay some bills, man. SquareSpace. Today's

Dumb motherfuckers. This headline. This headline is just saying what a lot of people already knew. Carly Russell made her story up. Oh, yeah. What is? I don't, dude, I'm out of it. She said while the statement was being read to the public,

you can hit an officer saying that the whole kidnapping was a hoax. A hoax. My client has given me permission to make the following statement on her behalf. There was no kidnapping on Thursday, July 13, 2023. My client did not see a baby on the side of the role. My client did not leave the Hoover area when she was identified as a missing person. My client did not have any help with this incident, and this was a single act done by herself. The statement continued.

My client was not with anyone or any hotel with anyone during the time she was missing. My client apologized for her actions to this community, the volunteers that were searching for her. The Hoover Police Department and other agencies as well. We asked for your prayers for Carly as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward, understanding that she made a mistake. Carly again asked for your forgiveness. Yeah, I don't care enough to. be upset about a situation like this because ultimately situations like this just hurt Carly Russell. I don't like people who say things like, oh, things like this, you know, are why they don't take

claims of missing black women serious. No, that's not true. They weren't taking the claims of missing black women serious before Carly Russell. Carly Russell wasn't even missing and they couldn't find her. So that shows you how much, that shows you how much they were to. not looking for Carly Russell. You know? That's hysterical. It's the truth toad.

She wasn't even missing. And they couldn't find her for 48 hours. That's got to be her angle. She wants to rehab her image that she was just trying to prove they don't search for black women. I wasn't even missing. Y'all couldn't find me. Somebody said that shit.

Somebody said something. Somebody said something to the effect of damn, I heard somebody say this to me. They said Carly Russ. Oh, shit, it was something like that. It wasn't that. Oh, they said Carly might have been upset about something else. So she had no problem saying she was kidnapped because she didn't think

they would come to look for her anyway because she's a black woman. I like your angle better. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you. But I mean, my point with that is, is like they weren't, they never take these cases serious. Like we put out finding Tamika, you know, because of situations like this. You know, finding Tamika is about a woman named Tamika Houston who went missing in South Carolina in the early 2000s. Her case is what sparked the black and missing foundation, which is the biggest organization that does this work, which tries to raise awareness, you know, to black women that are missing, right?

So because of the Smeekin-Hustin case, black and missing came to beat. So they do this kind of work. All you got to do is read their stacks and read what they're about to see how much they don't care about, you know, the cases of black women that have gone missing. And, yo, since Carly Russell, man, the ill thing about the Carly Russell case to me.

is when you look at the hundreds of thousands of missing black women in this country, the real conspiracy is, why this story? What made this story go on social media? What was the story? Just the luck of the draw. Can you tell me what the story is?

I don't know even know what the story is. It was a pretty good story. It really wasn't. I mean, break it down from me out. It was true. Break it down for me out. You saw a toddler walking down a highway. Already I'm in.

At fire. At nighttime. So you decided to pull over on the side of the road. She's on the phone with her boyfriend's girlfriend, I think it was, they said. What? And she's saying, are you okay? Her boyfriend's girlfriend? Boyfriend's girlfriend.

No, boyfriend's sister. I'm sorry. Her boyfriend's sister. And so then the boyfriend's sister allegedly said she heard her scream. She heard her ask, are you okay, are you okay? Heard her scream. and then she just heard the sound of the highway. That's pretty juicy.

It's juicy, but that's why I love the Fifth Agreement. Be skeptical, but listen, Taylor'll tell you, I didn't believe this shit, but there's no need for me to jump out there and be like, I don't believe the story. Boyfriend's sister goes. She screams. She said she heard her asking,

Are you okay? Are you okay? Then heard a scream. And then just the sound of the highway. And then she left her a cell phone. a wig and something else. Like her car was still there. A car was still there.

But she had like a bathrobe with some snacks. For a man to snatch your own wig off is crazy. For a man to snatch her own wig off? She snatched her own wig off. So the story. Why you call her a man? No, I'm not just calling her a man. Saying like the rumors are saying that she did that because she was trying to get back

at her boyfriend. Yeah, of course. But all I would please. I'd like, you know, if I ever was to, like, that's my wig off. You wear a wig? No, I don't know. But I'm saying, like, to go to that. I'm just saying to go to that extent.

I don't think that's a big extent. You're just taking a wig off? Yeah, no. But she's leaving it behind. That's not a wig that you're wearing? No, asshole. But she was trying, but look what she's attempting to do. No way.

That's your real hair? No. So, we're not doing, no, we're not doing this black hair education. with you ready. Hold on. That's not your real man. I never said it was. You just told Andrew

that's your real hair. No, I didn't. Wait, you don't have real hair then it's a wig. It's not a way. There's different forms of extensions.

What's your number? What's your curl? You're like a one? This is real, though, right? This is real, right? One is definitely for white women, so stop. The baby hairs are real, right?

You got nice baby hair. Your baby hairs is a one. Your baby hairs is a one. You're trying to tell me. You're trying to tell me that. that only white women can have baby hairs? What are you talking about?

Because you're saying because of my baby hairs, I have to be open. No, I said no baby hair. Your baby hairs are a one. No, they're not. I know hair. It's just gel. It's just gel.

Rest of your hair probably is 17. But your baby hairs are a one for sure. You got 17, you got a 17. What does 17 mean to you? You got a 17 hard? You got a 17 hard curl. What does 17 mean to you? What does 17 hard girl?

17. You got a 17 hard girl. You got a 17 hard girl. You got a 17 hard girl. You got a 17 hard curl. You got a 17 hard curl. You do. But your baby hairs are a one.

I've never seen it before in my life. Honestly, I'm really nice. Honestly, I thought that the baby hairs were a wig. I thought that you got baby hair wig. I got edges, asshole. Now I know that. Your edges are a one. For now.

Listen. What do you for now? Carly Russell, bro. Yeah, what's your number? What's your number? What's your number? Be honest. Can I guess your honest number? Don't you're not allowed to guess my, no.

Baby hair's there a one. It's a nine. No, and you're a seven. It's a nine. No, she's seven. Nine. There's no fucking seven or nine. I don't even know what we're talking about.

I just thought we were playing a game. Name what number between one and 17. What's your number? I thought we were playing a game. What's your number? What's your number? What's the highest number it goes? I don't even know.

I've never heard of numbers. What is it done you? What does it go? I have not heard of numbers. What is it going to? It goes to four. Four C. I did not know that.

But you're, listen, your first one, you're definitely a 1A with the baby hairs. No, it's not. Stop saying me. Oh, stop playing with me, girl. Stop saying me, child. Stop playing with me, child. What is a one in hair?

Let me look this. You're like, you're like, child, child, stop. Child, stop playing with me, child. T, like a, what, like a 3-8? What are you? What is, is it A1 hair? Oh, type 1A hair is 100% straight.

There is no hint of curl pattern. You have type 1A hair. No, I don't. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. This is interesting. It says, you got a Cambodian forehead. Listen, it says, this is great.

It says, type 1A hair is 100% straight. There is no hint of curl patterned away. Thank you. It's simply straight and flat as a white woman's ass. Damn, Charlotte. That's what it said. Damn, Sala, why are we got the shots? Another.

Why we got the shot for no reason? It says another defining feature of type 1A hair is this white woman lip thinness. God damn, bro. What's going on about that? That's what it's saying. I'm reading what it fucking shows. You might be right about the baby. Dude, I got a great joke.

I can't even say, man. What's you looking that up on? I can't. I can't. No, I just can't even say it. But it's phenomenal. I want to, like, give it to Al and then Al can say it. Anyway.

What type four hair? do I have? Let me see. I'm definitely forcing. You're not, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a 3A. You're not a 4-6. I'm a 3-A. I have shrinkers, everything. You have not see my row here.

Yo, I have. So you got a tight, right, bro? Yes. They call you Cambodian-Taylor on a block. Yo, everybody knows you as Cambodian-A. I'm a 3A. I'm a 3-A. I'm a 3-A.

How are you a 4A if? I'm a 3-A. You are one. Child, please. Child, please. Child, get out of here, child. Send us the other ad, child. You are a lot.

You are a lot. I'm waiting for Chris. He hasn't sent it to them. Well, what's Chris doing? Having three heart attacks and a Lyme disease. Damn. Nymonia. Come on, y'all.

All right, let's do some asking idiots. What we got, Taylor gang? Okay. I'm just making you see the thing. I mean, it's crazy. We ran through some good shit. Yeah, we had a great. great run. What we got to

a game. Not even Tiffany had us no. What happened with Tiffany? Breaking out of a comment. They've been broke up. Yeah, but what her statement got had a whole topic about it on breakfast club. Yeah, I don't care. Okay. I spoke to Tiffany in common. DJBJ.

DJ21 says if you could know one thing for a fact that actually happened what would it be? Ooh, this is a good one. If you could know one thing for a fact that actually happened, what would it be? I think anything concerning Jesus. I want to see if all of this stuff in the Bible is even remotely accurate.

You know what I mean? Everything from the miracles that would perform. What if the stories? They're rising from the dead. What if the meaning is accurate? Like a Pixar movie ain't real, but it is. What do you hit the same? I think it does. Ooh, how did it all start? That's really... Maybe it starts with Jesus. Well, no. That's not even according to Jesus.

Jesus would know, though. Jesus would know about the Big Bang because, yeah, pops. Jesus would know. His dad would tell him, you know what I'm saying? You get cool with Jesus. You learn all the secrets to the universities. That's... Oh, oh.

The multiverse. Oh. So there's a multiverse where Jesus might be Asian. There's a multiverse where Jesus might be. possible. Extraterrestrial. He could be extraterrestrial. Straight up.

I wouldn't mind knowing the Big Bang. All that stuff, all that stuff, man. I think, I thought this is more like a conspiracy, like Epstein's Island. Oh, oh, oh, oh. You know what I would really want to know? I would all jocosite, extraterrestrial. That's what I would want to know. I would want to know their life on other planets.

Even though I believe it is and I know it is, I would like to know for a fact that it's like. What about it had they come here? That would answer my question, too, though. You know what I'd like to know? How they built the pyramids. I knew he's going to say that. Yeah, like ancient civilization shit. Like, that's what I'm into.

I just, just explain that to me because that opens up a lot of things. What happens if we get a two for one? What if they did you tell you extraterrestrials? Boom, so now we got a two for them. We know extra threshold. But they won't give you know, because you'd be like, stressors, but then you use up your question already.

Now you can follow up. Tell me about it, my dream. Talk to me. Talk to me now. Talk to me now. Talk to me now. This is what. Nah, but we're talking about that one thing.

We're not done yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, okay, I get it now. Okay, so, yeah, the pyramid. If the pyramid is exterrestrials, then it's right. Then we got a lot of shit to talk about. You. Yeah, he's being specific.

If you can know one thing for a fact that actually happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I can know one thing for a fact, it's if Taylor is a one. Thank you. Taylor meeting. If her hair is the one, that's what I would know. Taylor meeting Kobe is another one. Oh.

Stop, because I have to prove. I had you agreeing to me on video. It's a little grainy. We're going to insert that video. They say we got proof of UFOs too, but all the videos are a little grainy. How? That picture's a little grainy. Kobe's clear as day.

The baby. You could have taken two pictures and made a combination. That's right. That's right. That picture you got could have been the baby Carly Russell saw. Oh! We don't know, Taylor. Oh.

Yeah. Yeah, that's disrespectful. It is disrespectful. You would do that. I would want to know about Beyonce and Jayze to fight in the elevator. What do you mean? You would use it. What a ways?

That's what a way. Why don't want to know what happened? What a waste. What a ways? Why is that a waste? You can know anything. Bro. And that's the one you want.

Pray. Pray. Pray. Prolineoscopy time. No, pray. Come on. Honestly, for real. Why are you doing that?

No, anything. Don't blame Hershey. That's going to be my top five, though. Taylor, I'm not even joking. Taylor, I literally just pray. It's the curling agent that she has to play in her. That's my top five. It's not my first time praying for you, but in that moment,

we needed to pray. I said, God, please. God, please help her. That's not your top five at all. No. Not even close. This is how I know your hair straight. That's how I know your hair straight.

God, that's how I know your hair straight. My God. That's a fact. That's why I don't even think of that. You want to know why Beyonce's upset? in an elevator? You couldn't guess it? It could be any couple in the elevator.

I guess. Fuck you, motherfucker. I just want to hear some lines. Just air him out. Oh, come on. What else we got? This is why my heart broke. This is why my heart calcified.

You. Dustin Han Fokaga says, looking back on your life, who are what makes you instantly light up? Oh, man, that's easy for me. My wife. And it's not even close. Me and my wife been together, 25 years.

That is my heart. There's nobody that makes me like, I was literally on the porch thinking about that shit yesterday, yo. Because, like, she's the person who believed in me, like, more than anybody ever. Like, the first time I ever felt out of application to a radio station, she drove me and took me. Like, when she was in college,

she majored in, like, journalism and communications and she wrote a paper about me. You know what I'm saying? It was like interviewed me for it. And like she, even how she saw me back then and what I could be, that kind of belief is unbelievable. And, you know, she's my best friend

and the closest person to me. So there's things that I talk to her about that my mom wouldn't know or my grandma wouldn't know. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like those deep, dark, secrets, desires, you know, beliefs, things that you want to happen. She knows.

And for somebody to believe in you in that way, come on, man. Come on, man. What was the question? Who do you, if foreign enemy troops hit U.S. soil, what's your first move? Would you fight? That's how you got there? That's how you got that? No, the question was, throw back up.

I was wrapped up in that struggle. No, no, it said, looking back. on your life, who or what makes you instantly light up? Oh, of course. Yeah, I think genuine surprise, awe and excitement from my wife makes me light up. And I know that, like, in our field, we get a lot of praise. So there's not a lot of times where they get to experience that. And they know that.

And they're on board of that. And they're supportive of us getting that. But there's moments where they get to feel that too, be it a birthday or cool life thing that happened and seeing them really light up and be excited about it and react to it and like even get emotional. Like when they get to be the star of the show, if you will, when they get to have that.

And those are the times where I really light up when they're really proud of themselves and they feel like they accomplish something. And it's harder for them because they're always, you know, probably comparing their accomplishment to ours and thinking that because they're they're different that they might not be as good but then and which is bullshit like each person's accomplishment is beautiful based on where they are in their life but seeing those moments where they feel really proud and really happy and really

excited and it's like about them they get that spotlight absolutely that's a really that makes me really light up absolutely the underscore nobody ever talk about you like that the underscore Jesus Christ, says, Why do you do that? I don't know. I don't even know why I had to do that. I couldn't even control myself. I saw her over there, go into it, and I couldn't wait to burst that bubble.

I don't know why. I got to talk to my therapist about that. I really don't know why I did it. That was fucked up. I'm be honest with you. That was fucked up. Say, say, that's why your heart closing. I really don't know why I had to do that.

You just like to be a bully. That's why. That wasn't bullying, no. Yes, what was that then? Something I've been working on since school. Yo, you liked it, though. I liked what? Right now, what happened?

No, that's her heart. And it felt good that I know it just gets stung her a little bit. I don't know why. He likes it! That's that rough Philly shit, bro. That's silly. It's like rough. There's a little bit of like,

You enjoy it. You did enjoy it a little bit. You know what? The thing is I'm used to it because I'm the youngest and my siblings used to make fun of me and everything else like that all this time. Oh, well, then why is it when I pitched that idea?

They were as mean. They weren't as mean as you're, though. We are not mean. Why are you bringing me into this? And why are you making this a week? Fuck you. And fuck you. Both of y'all are crazy.

I'm an innocent bison. Fuck. Fuck you. You know, I'm left here sometimes. I'm brother. My brother. My sister's never. said certain stuff like that to me.

They would never do, like, that's never going to happen for you, though, too. But see, that's how I'm being my friend's joke. Maybe my brother, me and my brother. Debbie told me. Listen, I love Debbie Brown as my sister love of the death. Before Debbie was who she was, she's always been a version of Debbie,

so she's always been this nice sweetheart. Debbie told me one time, that's why Jesus is ignoring your friends. How does that feel? That's how you just made her. It was like 13 years ago. She was like, that's, I was like, What? That's crazy.

This is about 15 years ago. They still remember that. Do I remember it? That shit was like, where did she? Like, why would she say? Like, why would you just say something like that? What did you say to her? I don't even remember.

Who knows? Probably just converted to the nation of this one. He goes, I think I need to talk to someone else. Let's do a couple more. The underscore educated investor says, how do you guys stay honest in a dishonest industry? I'm going to tell you something right now, educated investor, and I'm being honest.

I like the lie. Who gives a fuck about being honest? Talk to him. In this dishonest world, what the fuck are we being honest with you before? Nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining? I rather entertain. No, I think he's asking how do you negotiate the dishonesty? How do you, the people that around you may be being dishonest,

the executives, that kind of stuff. At least that's what I took it out. Well, I don't think anybody's ever being. honest, I think everybody's just always looking out for the best deal. You know what, yeah, you know people's true intention, so you're looking at that. It's like, they know that they're going to, you know,

ride a wave with you or catch up. It is a lie, though. It's business never personal. So, like, everybody's got a business to run, everybody's got a company to run, but people are always going to try to get the best deal. So it's just like, they'll come to you and be like, hey, this is all we got.

Oh, I don't want it then. I'm fine. Then they find more. And all of a sudden, all this money. Like, well, we got this and that. Well, yeah, of course you do. You know what I mean? So it's just like, you got to know that. And you got to know that people are just always looking out for their best interest.

So you got to find people and get people around you that are looking out for yours. Amen to that. Build your team. Like, build a team that you can be honest with and know that most people, like, I think a lot of people get let down. You know, when they find out that there are people in this business that have self-intent intentions. And a lot of people get into this business for their narcissism, right? I'm not saying that we all don't have like a certain part of it. But I think what happens is, is they go, oh, yeah, we're all colleagues, we're all best friends, we're all in entertainment together.

And then all the sudden they find out that these people that they're all besties with weren't really looking out for them. They're looking out for themselves. That's right. So it's like, be cordial with people, have friends with you, try to help people as much as you possibly can because you believe in them and they have something special and that's the right thing to do. But your core group build with the people. that you think are high integrity individuals that you think will look out for you and be loyal to you

and you do the same for them because those are going to be your friends. This idea where you're just friends with everybody, no, those people might be being nice to you because they think that they can use you for something. That's real. So, yeah, I trust that people will be selfish and build with the people that have unselfish qualities.

Yeah. And I agree with everything show said and I guess the only basic way I would answer that question is, man, when you get in a certain position, man, be what you always wanted other people to be to you. You know what I'm saying? It really is really just that simple. That, to me, is honest because you know what you wanted out of other people.

So now that you're in that position, make sure you're doing that for others. To me, that's a honest person because you're not, it's not about self-interest. You know, like, you actually do care about the greater, you know, whenever somebody's on the come up, they're like, I want the industry to be like this. We got to fight for this and we got to fight for that. They get a deal. They're like, oh, we're good. Oh, man. You're going to see that with this sad shit.

Oh, yeah. People got to pick in line because they got what they wanted. It wasn't about what every, the greater whole, the greater, you know what I'm trying to say. The greater collective wanted. Yes. A lot of times people use the greater collective to manipulate a situation in their advantage. That's right. Let's do one more.

What we got to tell. Find a good one, man. They ask you about your poop, soaps. It got better. Thank you, though, for asking. And then I got some great news about my fucking heart immediately after. third, so I've been having some nice health issues. Oh, we can end with this one.

Ajai 05 says if you could bring one person back from the dead to be a podcast, who would it? Who? Your friend, Jess. Oh, man. You try to make me cry a goddamn talent. See?

I'm looking for entertainment. You want to be honest. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? Jesus Christ. Rest in peace, Jess. Rest in peace. Who would you want to be? bring back. Shultz.

To have a conversation with. Mine would be Jesus. Jesus would be great. Muhammad would be great. Abraham would be great. None of them slap like Jesus, though. No, Muhammad's got bars, bro. I think more people are in to Jesus.

Throughout the world. Like, more people would be the highest viewed anything ever in history with Jesus. But Jesus got a 500-year-head start. I'm just saying, I would love to talk to Jesus, too. Don't get me wrong. You know, but, like, I'd also. love to talk to Muhammad and I'd love to talk to Abrant but yet it's

the religious figures it's those people who have carved out you know the exact existence Napoleon would be fire to talk to it. What if Jesus is more like Soldier Boy than we said that on this podcast a long time ago. What if Jesus is like, Muhammad's throwing a whole flow bar for bar for bar for word

word for word what if? I forgive not everybody's trying to forgive you know what I'm like he's tight He's like, yeah, but Jesus, what about when you said? You looked up to this guy and you say, forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do. I never said that. Lies.

What if Jesus is? Like, I never, all these memes giving me, I never said any of that. Not me. Nothing. Yo, we might have to sit down with the J man. Big J. We might have to sit down to J man. Big J.

Jesus, Jesus will be the one. Yo, can we do that with AI? Oh, shit. Feed the Bible into the AI. These are the. the words of Jesus and God, and then we have a conversation with him based on the information in the Bible.

Ain't none of y'all did that yet. Y'all using AI all wrong. Yeah. Could you have a conversation? We don't know what it's like. We know it. Morgan Freeman. Everybody knows that Jesus' voice sound like.

Yeah, that's Margaret's Fred. Oh, that is God. Oh, shoot you. Right. What does Jesus' voice sound like? Chris. That would be so disappointed. Yeah. So if Jesus sounds like Chris, that would be so disappointed.

That would disappoint you, man. Now I got, now I really got to see some miracles now. You know what I'm saying? I guess it's a certain tone when you can have in your voice. That I'll be like, oh, that's Jesus, yo. Yeah. But if he sound like Chris, it's like, all right, man. Okay, I'll walk on the water again, guys.

You want me to turn this fish and this low. You want me to feed only these people with just this fish and this loaf of bread. Okay, guys. have more wine, I guess. We'll keep the party going. Nobody likes sake, you sure? As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're brilliant,

you think we're intelligent, you're absolutely right. I think, no, as always, if you listen to the podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast, you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right, too. It's the brilliant idiotous podcast.

Thank you for listening.
