Boat's Nick His name is Hay Hey His name is Yum when he goes in my tum-tum In theaters July 10th It's so stupid it's positively burn The brilliant idiots podcast. Shalaman Nogh. Andrew Schultz.

We are the brilliant idiots podcast. Quarantined edition, baby. Yeah. I'm not taking the risk. Shotsi's taking. I'm in the studio. He's the out there in them streets. Are you quarantined in the studio?

Nah, like I go from my crib to the studio. That's the rule. Everybody got to go crib to studio. Too much action, baby. You think so? Too much action from New York City, man. I take a motorcycle to work. Like a fucking badass, dude.

This quarantine is certainly. me into a badass. Do you wipe the motorcycle down? Say again? Do you wipe the motorcycle down? No, I'm going fast. Huh? I'm going fast. I'm going too fast. I'm talking about you wipe it down before you get on it. No, because I feel like if you go fast, the Rona isn't going to be able to settle on it. Listen, they said that the Rona can live. Hold, I just saw this shit. Hold on, yo. This shit is crazy. This shit is scared. It's not scary. It's just like, what the fuck, yo? Can I ask you a question? Yes. And this is, maybe you don't recognize this as much because you're out in, in Jersey, in luxury, you know, in your beautiful home.

Let's talk about it. With your tiles that need to be redone. I don't like these ceiling tiles. Let's talk about it. That's brand new. Are they brand new? It's the basement, though. It's the man cave, though.

Like, this, there was nothing even down here. You need some real tiles up there. You need Michelangelo to paint some shit. I think you go ceiling art. Yeah, dude. Nah. I mean, because there was nothing, there was nothing down here. Plus, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not staying in this house.

It's probably like my last year in this house. Oh, where are you going? Yeah, something a little bigger. Really? Yeah, life is good, man. Broke you spending money? You want me that? Life is, listen, by the way.

Talk to me. Put down your phone because that's going to distract you the whole time. Put down your phone, bro. Hold on. I want to read you, I want to read you this Warren Buffett quote. Oh, is Warren talking? Oh, what in the streets by or something like that? Hold on.

Hold on, hold on. This shit is hard, bro. Where's he been this whole time? My financial guy sent me this. The great Warren Buffett once said when he was speaking about investing in the stock market, be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful. Hungry hippo. No, it's true, though. Everybody got a little, that guy has a little money right now is just waiting for that stock market dip,

waiting for it. It already has. It's historic lows, baby. Now, but it came back up. I think it came back up to like 20,000 yesterday. Yeah, but that shit went right back down like in like hours. Like it went up right when they announced the deal. Yep.

And then it went right back down. It's going to be like that for a while. Oh, once what Trump is paranoid about is, uh, is the unemployment numbers to come, come out because right now, this is the week everybody gets fired. Yeah, it's going to be bad. Because now, because companies were like, how long is this shit going to go down? And it looks like is going to be a couple months from what I say, from what I see. So once companies realize that, they go,

okay, I got to lay off all the staff. So not everybody non-essential is getting laid off this week and then more layoffs after and people getting paid cuts is going to be real out there, man. No, it's going to be bad. I'm going to be honest with you know, we start this show off by doing, you know,

things that we think are positively brilliant and things that we think are fucking idiotic. I'm going to be honest with you. This going to sound crazy. Talk to me, man. I can see why Trump has an approval rating of 60%. Talk to me. for the coronavirus, the way he's handling the coronavirus.

And I tell you why. Okay. The past six days or seven days, however long has been, Donald Trump has been on TV every single fucking day. Now, there's been no counter programming to that from the Democratic side, from the people that are supposed to be presidential candidates. You just saw, you know, Joe Biden, he did something yesterday. I think Bernie did something over the weekend.

But for like five, six days, all you. you saw was Donald Trump, right? So, yes, he did handle it all fucked up when it first started, but now he looks like he's trying to fix it. And his messaging is so simple because it's like, look, this is not our problem. It started in China. They created it, but I'm going to fix it by throwing a goddamn bag at you.

It's such simple messaging for Americans to motherfucking understand. And I just think it makes him, whether you agree with it or not, it makes him look like he is leading. It makes him look like he is a leader. He's the person that people see every single day on television, controlling the narrative of this motherfucking coronavirus. And yesterday, you know, people got upset with him for being optimistic. For saying, look, we're going to be back open by Easter.

Like, it's some stupid shit to say because all the scientists and, you know, the experts say differently. But when you're the leader of the free world, when you're the president, aren't you supposed to give the people a little bit of hope? Hey, bro. And you do it on Easter. The economy will be resurrected on Easter, baby. That's kind of brilliant. It's kind of brilliant.

I agree with you. It's brilliant. I will say this. This might be a historic event. This is about to happen right now. I'm going to disagree with you on Trump. Talk to me. I think he's been doing a horrible job.

I think that he is not taking this seriously. I think the branding of it as a Chinese virus is good because China tried to flip it and they tried to blame it on like American soldiers that were in China. So I think he was trying to nip that in the bud, but Chris is unmuting his mic right now. Chris is coming out. Throwing stars going through the computer. No, it's, but I think that he's being foolish and I think that he's so afraid of fucking up the economy that he would rather people go to work, catch it, and a bunch of old people

die and we have a health crisis on her hands, then fuck the economy up and spook the economy. I think... Oh, by the way, I agree with you 100%. I'm just saying the perception. Oh, the perception. Like, put it like what you just said, there should have been a Democrat every day for the past six days

saying what you said. There was. Town of programming. There was. He just wasn't a presidential candidate yet. But you know... Cuomo. Cuomo has been... Positively brilliant. Delivered. That's what I was going to say for positively brilliant. This guy has been delivering with presidential pro-ess for the last week or two. And bro, he did a couple things that were really interesting.

First of all, I feel like different times call for different leaders, right? Right now, you need a Democrat because you need someone whose attitude is not, hey, everybody pulled themselves up by the bootstraps. When there's a fucking global pandemic, it's like, well, shit, help me with a bootstrap. You need coddling. You need a little coddling. You need a little coddling. on your back, holding your hand, telling you everything's going to be okay. Spoon me. Spoon me, right?

Yes. But here's the thing also. You don't need a pussy-ass Democrat that's like pandering to every group and is a total cuck, etc. You actually need an Italian Democrat because you know an Italian is going to say shit like you're being disrespectful. Calm yourself down. Right? But here all he's also going to say, I got you. I'm going to send some bread over to your mother's house. Everybody's going to be fine. So you need someone who is sweet and indebtable. but also tough and might punch you in your fucking mouth if you speak out. You feel safe with the tough guy, but you also feel taken care of by the Democratic leadership. And it's like if Cuomo was in the election now, it's his. And I think this, if he rides this wave, gives him a really good look at 2024. Oh yeah. A star is being born with Governor Cuomo. 100%. It's not even close.

A star is definitely being born. I said that I actually thought him and Gavin Newsom, of California were doing really great jobs I think Cuomo's killing them though because it's like it's like watching Tim and Swiss do a beat battle like Swiss got sloppers but Tim really got sloppers

yeah but Tim got some classics bro Cuomo Cuomo looks he looks really sturdy yeah dirty man and he's keeping people nice and calm but giving them the urgency of the situation letting them know look if you don't get in the

motherfucking house this shit ain't going to get no better bro yeah I like that I like that because right now, man, that's why I want to give, you know, you know, what a fucking idiot to, all you motherfuckers who just won't stay to fuck home. Like, what the fuck is wrong with y'all? It's literally like being Noah

and Noah's telling people to get on the arc and they're not listening. Yeah. So now you got to take, you got to take some delight in watching y'all drown. Yeah, yeah. It's a little, it's crazy because the way that Americans

react to the coronavirus is completely weather-dependent, right? Because when it's cold outside, everybody's like, yo, we got to quarantine, we got to buckle up. You know, we got to take this shit seriously. Soon as a nice day. It's 60 and fucking sunny. We're playing tennis, soccer.

Motherfuckers are wrestling in the park. Making up shit. Making up shit. Talk about hot. Heat kills it. He kills it. We run fast. Yeah, as if it's not in the fucking Caribbean.

As if the islands don't have a couple of corona cases. Yeah, dude. It's a crazy situation because, I think some of the branding that they use to try to keep us quarantined actually hurt them. Like when they said you got to be six feet away from each other, the social distancing, in our normal lives, I'm almost never within six feet of another human being. Outside of public transportation, which I'm not taking anymore because of coronavirus, if somebody's within six feet of me, I'm looking at them.

I'm going, you good? Is that what's good, yo? I never measured. I get what you're saying. I never measured, though, but yeah. They basically gave us a situation where we can feel comfortable living our fucking lives as we would normally live them. We're never six feet within six feet of people.

You know, you're either in your car, you're walking by yourself down the street. If someone comes next to you, you move a little bit over. But the sixth thing gave us all the confidence we need to go outside and keep doing the regular shit we're doing. If they said it's airborne and then stop at that, we'd be in the house, letting the delivery boys get that shit as they deliver all of our food, all of our water, everything we need.

They should have never gave us a distance. Never. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They should have never said out. Stay away from six feet away from people and you'll be fine. They should have never done that. Just say it's airborne.

Airborne freaks everybody out. We stay in. Little shit that they're doing. Like now that this this like economic package that they passed, I was doing a little research into like really how the economy works and why an economic stimulus bill like that would be helpful. And here's the reason why like the coronavirus is actually the perfect thing to cripple an economy.

The way an economy works is you need to produce things and consume things. That's right. Consumer spending is at a whole. Exactly. Right. So and the reason why they throw money at us is because they're like in order for the machine to keep running, you need to keep producing and consuming. You can't consume shit from quarantine. So don't throw money at the problem if there's nothing for us to go out and consume. The only way to beat this is if the virus either runs through us or we stop it by being quarantined and then you stimulate the economy again. But right now, you're either giving people money with $1,000 checks or you're giving

businesses money and the businesses will eventually pay their employees and then they'll spend the money. But you need the money to be spent. This quarantine has stopped spending. Yeah, I think they just get, I think they want money that, uh, for people to be able just to spend on the basics. You know what I'm saying? America's economy booms because of all the unnecessary shit that we buy that, that, that we don't

need. But I think they just giving people money for the basics just to, just to make sure shit doesn't fucking flatline. I guess, I guess that's important. And, well, it's obviously important. But if they're looking at this as like an economic stimulus package, not an economic survival package, that's different because I think what a lot of people don't realize is like when they say like a business is too big to fail, right? Like what they mean by

that is if the business fails, there are so many people that are economically reliant on that company that if it fails, it actually has a bigger effect, negative effect on the economy than if you bail it out. And that's why me and you, we might not personally get bailed out, but like Boeing, the airline company will get bailed out because if Boeing goes out of business, the negative effects on not only our economy, but the global economy will be bigger than if we just bail it out. Oh, absolutely. People, you know, people, you know, get upset when you, like the Democrats, I think their first package, or the Republican's first package was going to help corporations more than to help people. And people get upset when you hear that on the surface, right? Yes.

Like, yo, if you get rid of a whole corporation, think about how many jobs that are going to be gone. You know what I'm saying? How many motherfuckers going to be unemployed? That shit cripples the economy me in a whole different way. And globally cripples it. Like someone was explaining to me because we've been doing this daily Corona pod. So like I'm trying to like share this information. But I was like, so if like give me an example of how this has affected somebody.

And like they were just giving an example of like when Argentina, the whole country was essentially going bankrupt. And Argentina supplies like 25% of the world's beef, right? If you take 25% of the world's beef away from the world beef economy, that's a stable protein for most people. Now beef goes up in price and people need to spend more of their money that they get from their paycheck on that beef in order to purchase it. That means they have less money to consume other things. That means the global economy gets fucked up by it. So basically the World Monetary Fund basically went in there and was like or the International Monetary Fund,

whatever that is, went in there and like, okay, let's restructure some Argentinian debt here because we can't have this global effect on the economy. Same thing. Peter says fuck that, bro. Peter said fuck that. Keep Argentina in debt, bro. Peter and Russell's, Simmons like, nah, fuck that. We want y'all to go under, man.

Fuck you and your 25% beef all over the world. Where is Russell right about now? What's he doing through this shit? Russell and Bali

doing goddamn yoga. Russell would be, he'd be on IG live doing yoga. Oh, that's another thing. I want to say, um,

salute to everybody who's, who's really tapping into their creative, yeah. Energy on Instagram live. That's been very, that's been very,

that's been very, you gotta come on Corona's got talent, bro. I saw, I didn't, I didn't watch it. I saw the, uh,

the trailer you put up yesterday. I didn't get a chance to watch it. Oh, you got to come on, dude. We usually do it either five or seven p.m. every day on my Instagram live, but it's crazy, man. People are in there and jumping in there and doing wild shit. And honestly, the coolest part is like when people sing, we play the music as well. We start singing. And it kind of gives you that thing that you've been wanting throughout this entire experience, which is like a little connection to other people. Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, the thing about that and the reason I think is so brilliant, is everybody that I see doing it. It's like the real talent is rising to the surface, right?

Because if you look at, like you, you're leaning into comedy. Yeah. Because you're a comedian, you know what I'm saying? And if it's a lot of people, if you didn't know Andrew Schultz is a comedian, when you're sitting down and you have a captive audience, now you know, oh, this is what Andrew Shultz does. Somebody like, D. Nice. D. D. Nice is leaning into being a DJ.

Yes. He's not doing anything out of the norm. This motherfucker ain't setting himself on fire. You know what I'm saying? He's not out in the street talking about, you know, hey, I'm checking for the corona. I'm whatever. He's not doing any cloud chasing.

He simply got online and did what he was good at. He leaned in his talent. I saw Swiss Beach and Timberland last night. Yeah. All they doing is playing their catalog, having a beat battle. Two are the best producers of all time. Like, nobody's doing anything extra. They're just leaning into the gifts that God gave them.

And it just looks really, really dope. It looks really, really dope, man. It's really getting a lot of people through. I've been watching more Instagram live than I have actual TV. Yeah, dude, isn't that wild? Like, and what's cool about leaning into what you do is like, you get to play a part in how people cope with this. Yes.

Yes. You know? Like, yes. Like, we all play a role in the ecosystem. And right now, our role actually has value. Like, we talk for a living. We make jokes for a living, right? We talk about the world and we express like our feelings.

and maybe those feelings are relatable to everybody. Like right now they need that. They need that. So we got to step up just like someone else got to step up. You know, like in this moment, people are home. Most of them are healthy. They just need fun, entertaining distraction. Well, we're the entertainers.

So let's fucking go. What we wait for. We're media. We have essential jobs. Yes, this is essential. You know how to fuck I know because I got a certificate from the government that says so just in case I need to come into that corona infested city. I ain't get one.

How I get one of that. And I can flash my goddamn certificate, okay? All right, because I am an essential part of the media. Yeah, right? But it's just like, yeah, man. You also got to thank God for that too, bro. Yeah. You got to thank God the fact that you have a job to where you can actually stay at home.

Everybody don't have the luxury of staying home, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, everybody don't have the luxury to stay at home right now. Some people got to go to work. They got to make ends meet. If their job is still fucking making them dollars circulate, they got to go in there and circulate them dollars. Yeah.

So it's like I'm thankful that I have a job where I can sit in my motherfucking basement in my recliner chair, do the radio show in the morning, the breakfast club, and then come and do the fucking podcast at noon right now. And your job has increased in value exponentially during this time. Like what I've realized is that like entertainment now is shaping people's days because they no longer have like work hours or like dinner parties or stuff to go to. Right. So it's like, all right, D. Nice is going live at nine. Ben. nine o'clock we're going to go check out de nice is live all right breakfast club is on at seven i'm gonna wake up at nine i'm gonna catch the breakfast club i'm gonna listen to the whole thing that all right brilliant it's coming out at noon so all of a sudden we're like dictating our day based on meals yeah entertainment and how cool is that to be like a central part of people's fucking day man it's like you got to relish that as fuck that was this time is it's cool to have that effect on people you said you scheduling meals i'm scheduling showers that i'm not gonna lie that's what makes

me feel like a fucking idiot. That's a what a fucking idiot. What's their motherfucking idiot? The hardest thing to do when you're sitting at home doing nothing is figuring out when the goddamn shower. Like what you got a shower for? I haven't left. The fuck I got a shower for.

Like I woke up, I'll be waking up at 5, 25, 30 to do breakfast club. I don't brush my fucking teeth. That's how I know I love the listeners because you know when you got that boo. When you got that boo that boo that you love, you wake up your breath stink. You roll over and you get that kiss. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's how I treat the listeners.

I get up in the morning and I fucking get on that microphone, breath stinking all. because I love them. You know what I mean? But it's just like, when do I take a shower? That's, I go when my hair gets greasy, but, you know, you don't have that same predicament. No. So. That's it.

It could get bad, though. Does your wife just make you? You know what? I go, like I worked out yesterday. Yeah, what is your day? Break down the schedule of your day. What is your quarantine day? My day has been waking up, waking up at five.

520 instead of 420. Okay. Going downstairs, making sure everything's, you know, set up with the mixer and all of that. Yeah. We start to show at 6 o'clock, done by like 9. I get up, I go watch ESPN and watch CNN. Hold on. What could you possibly get from ESPN now?

Nothing. It's just a habit. It is. It literally is just a habit. Now, I'm not going to front. The other day was really. real good when they had the free agency. When the NFL free agency was...

Oh, yeah, when Tom Brady went to Tampa. That was some good shit. You know, they was discussing some good shit. Other than that, there's nothing. Like, they are on there talking about the dumbest shit. I saw Stephen A. and Max Kellerman talking about who was the scariest boxer of all time. Yesterday, they was on there talking about who's the top five

top five, top three greatest quarterbacks. Like, they just have a straight-up barbershop podcast talk. They have nothing to discuss. Bro, it's like... I mean, it's still entertaining. And I'm going to be honest with you. I'm watching it and looking at how they're doing the show, like how we're doing this right now. I'm paying attention to that.

Oh, how are they doing it? Production value. They're doing this. They're doing like Zoom and shit like that. Oh, from their credit. They're both going in. Well, no, Stephen A and Max are somewhere and Molly somewhere else, but the guests that they have are usually from their houses.

So they'll be on like FaceTime or Skype or Zoom. And so that's just interesting to see because I'm sitting there looking like, yo, it's going to be a lot of people saving a lot of money on production value when this shit is over. I don't got to fly guest in no more. I can just do this shit. They get the same motherfucking effect. I was talking about this. We do this nightly corona quarantine show.

I was talking about this. I think college is over. Because right now college is saying, hey, everybody go home and take your classes online. And the second we realized that we could take all the classes that we were taking online, that it's no different and get the same certificate, the jig is up.

What the fuck? Am I paying $50,000 a year to go to school so that my daughter can get fucking wasted and do keg stands and shit? That's what you're going for. I ain't paying no $50,000 for it. But it's for the social experience. You're going to let your daughter get socially kegstand?

She's going to get it anyway? No, not at my house. No keg stands at my house. It's for the social experience. That's the one thing that we all have to be very cautious of, bro. This can be either positively brilliant are fucking idiotic, right? But when all of this is said and done,

let's not have developed the habit of not showing love to each other, meaning like not shaking hands, not hugging, staying away from each other, getting used to being on the fucking zooms and all of that shit because you don't want to be around people

or you feel like you, you know, cutting corners with money. Because what did they say? They say it takes, what, 18 days to develop, for something to develop as a habit? 21 days to develop as a habit. 21 days to develop as a habit. 21 days.

So if you're already, we're already in a world where we really don't have the connections that we want because social media to me is not actually a real connection. But then when you, when you put on top of that,

the fact that we're not, you know, saying what's up to each other and we're not saying high and we're distancing from each other. That could get really weird, bro. That could create a really cold society, man.

Yeah, and we are communal people. Like, we actually need that connection. Yes, man. But you're saying that we could get so comfortable and matter of fact, it could be like financially more efficient to not be connecting, right? Like, let's say, for example,

the breakfast club, I heart, well, it wouldn't happen like this because your YouTube is such a huge part of the platform. But like, let's say they go, hey, we don't want to pay for this big ass building. Why don't you guys just record the podcast the radio show from your homes every day? That's way cheaper for us.

I would love it. You would? Other than the celebrity interviews, but I don't got to be around the motherfuckers. I wouldn't, but I would love it. other than the interviews, I would love that. But the interviews are so great. That's the thing you miss out on that.

You got to have the interviews. No, you got to have the interviews. I don't think it's the same. That's what I mean. If we were the Skype and a guest right now due to the circumstances, people would get it. People would understand. But when you get back to normal,

nah, they like that intimacy. That's what we don't want to lose. You don't want to lose the intimacy of being human. How long do you think it takes before we start operating the same way socially that we did prior to this. Christmas. Christmas, man. It's a fucking America.

We ain't got time for this shit. Soon as America gets back open and shit is all good. Christmas, we're going to be back at it, baby. Okay? All right. This is about to be a crazy year. We about to get hit one after the other. Like, is this shit?

Yeah. This shit will probably be over by like May. Yeah. Then we're rolling right into fucking everybody at each other's throats because the election is in November. Oh, yeah. Like this shit is about to be crazy. We don't know what the country is going to look like in December.

We don't know what the world is going to look like in December. Like God may have to come down and intervene for real, for real. Like it might have to be some referee shit, bro. Do you think that this is God or whoever, the simulators, the powers that be intervening a virus like this? And the only reason I ask you that is because it's a very weird virus in that it literally only attacks human beings. and by attacking human beings, right, the world seems to regenerate. They say the canals in Venice, Italy,

are clear again for the first time. They say the skies in different cities in China have no smog for the first time. It's like, I was literally thinking about this. I was like, wait a minute. Is this the powers that be going, hey, motherfuckers, y'all need to relax, you need to chill,

you need to have a Ramadan. You know Ramadan, on one month off. Maybe that's what they're saying. Hey, reconnect with yourselves, talk to each other, take a break, take a pause, take a deep breath, let the world reproduce.

Do you think that's possible? It proves the theory that I've said for years. Humans are the parasites to the fucking Earth. We are the worst thing that ever happened to this goddamn planet. The worst thing. Everything else on this planet knows how to just recycle itself,

to replenish itself. Like the Earth is going to be fine. When the Earth gets rid of us, the earth going to be out here booming. You're talking about the economy. The grass is going to be so green. The flowers are going to be blooming. It's going to be fruits and vegetables growing that never grew before.

Like, we are the scum of the earth. You know what I was thinking about the other day, which makes us so fucking stupid as humans. This can go into the water fucking idiot. We rely on trees, right? On trees? We give off trees. We give off carbon dioxide.

Trees give off oxygen. Yeah, yeah. Why the fuck do we cut down all the trees? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of stupid. That makes no fucking logical sense. And then everybody got so upset when the fucking rainforests in Brazil was on fire. Was it Brazil?

Yeah, Brazil. Yeah. Brazil. And they was like, that's the lungs of the earth. I'm like, y'all cut your fucking lungs out every day. That's why Corona is a respiratory disease. Ooh. Ooh.

You can't breathe feet of motherfuckers. Speak God. I don't know. I just came up with that one. Third eye, God. Whoa, baby. No Rogan's logo. God.

third eye out this motherfucker. Yo, it could be, though. It could be. It's cutting down all the fucking trees to build Starbucks, bro. Yeah, dude. Why are we doing it? I don't know, man. It's like, it's like, and maybe this is the problem with, with capitalism.

I'm not trying to get all woke about anti-capitalism. Like, I believe in capital is 100%. But maybe the issue is that like capitalism forces you into this mindset and behavior where you're literally thinking about the next check and the next move and how do I make more money. Like, we're talking about the economy. It always has to be moving. We have to be consuming and spending. Whereas maybe another form of living,

we could sit back and go, hey, we don't need that extra dollar. Why don't you just let that tree keep growing, bro? You know what I'm saying? There's like a more holistic approach to the earth. And maybe that's what, maybe that's what fucking viruses do. Bonan told me that in South Africa.

In South Africa, if you build on, and I'm probably fucking this all up, but when you build on land, if there's a tree there, if you take that tree down, the build. You got to replant that fucking tree. You got to plant another goddamn

tree, yo. That's smart. That's smart. That's really smart. It's just, yo, it's just simple. If the trees are giving enough oxygen and we're giving the trees carbon dioxide, why the fuck would we cut down all the trees and then complain about the air being shitty? Yeah. Complain about people having breathing problems or respiratory problems. Like, we're doing that to ourselves. It's fucking stupid, bro. I don't understand it. I don't understand it.

Yeah, we can't look into the future, man. It's a, it's a tough thing. and we should be able to because we live in luxury. Like I understand motherfuckers that like live in desperate places, how they can't look into the future because yeah, you're trying to make it into tomorrow. But like if you and I are sitting here going, well, I want to put some money in my retirement fund. That means we plan on making it to retirement.

So if we can plan on making to retirement, we got to plan on the world and not only the world, the people that are in it, the environment, all these types of things. We got to make sure that those things are livable as well. by the time we retire. We got a plan for the Earth's future the way we plan for our own futures.

I think that whole concept of, you know, we're going to die one day and we're not going to be here because the Earth is billions of years old. Like I think that sometimes we get so caught up in our temporary existence that we really don't give a fuck how we treat the Earth. We treat this shit like an Airbnb, bro. Yeah.

We do. We treat it like some shit. Like, you know how you were young. We are getting a bad review. That's what the coronavirus is. We're getting one. star, bro. You treating this shit like a city bike. Yeah.

You're not wiping down. You farting all over it. You coughing. You fucking don't care if you bump into it. Like Chris said, oh, Lord, Chris just text me. Chris said they cut down the trees in Amazon to create grazing for cattle, which is why people like Russell say eating less meat is good for environment. Okay, makes sense. There is an argument for that for sure. Then again, vegans just eat the environment, so they're probably bad for it. You're all eating fucking trees too, Chris. Vegans, they only eat trees, bro. It's just lettuce and cabbage and shit. They literally are eating all the shit that helps us breathe.

Yo, vegans want us to die, bro. How do vegetables feel about that? No, say, I want, like, see, we, I think we don't, we don't, even though, vegetables are living creatures too. Hey, dude, vegetables are so resilient. You ever eat corn and it comes out in your shit? I don't want to die. I'm not going to know there.

That fucking corn is holding on to that. goddamn shit log. This is I only hope to freedom. This is our way to freedom. I'm back, baby. It's like Jason. Corners the Jason of vegetables, bro.

Looking around for your brothers and you just realize it's just you and a couple cousins. A little piece of lettuce. Like, you made it too. Where do we go from here? Listen, salute to CVS. I got to put CVS into positively brilliant.

They're hiring 50,000 workers and they're giving bonuses the employees. Salute to Philadelphia, 76. Joe L. And B. stepped up, gave a half a million dollars to the staffers. And the Sixers was like, why the fuck aren't we paying our staffers? So they decided to continue to pay their staffers.

You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, these are a billion-dollar organizations. These are billion-dollar companies. Being able to pay your staff for a couple of months, it's not going to hurt you at fucking all. And I think it gains amazing goodwill. Like, you find out a lot about, like, your employer in a time like this.

Yes. You know what I mean? Like when literally everybody is getting fired from their jobs and or getting salary decrease, You know what I'm saying? Like, if that's not happening to you, because here's the thing, if you're a business right now, you are losing money. You are losing money. Actively, every single day, you are losing money.

So now all that money that's coming out to be paid is coming out of your pocket. Absolutely. So you find out. And some people don't want to do that shit. I don't know whether to put this under the what a fucking idiot, but the guy, a man in Arizona, he drank fish tape cleaner to protect him from the coronavirus. How to go? He died. he's dead.

He's out of here. So, I mean, technically he is kind of protected because he's in a better place now and he's with God and he didn't have to worry about things like that anymore. I mean, he can't get Corona. He did find a way to not get Corona. You did find a way to not get Corona. I wonder about stuff like that, though.

Like, I wonder if people are in such, like, you're in such bad shape. Like, the coronavirus beating you up that bad that you like, man, fuck it. Or you don't want to catch it that bad that you're willing to try anything. You know, like, like Donald Trump got on TV and he shouted out that fucking,

what's the shit called hydroquin? Chloroquine. Chloroquine. Yeah, yeah. And that shit, like, everybody ran to go buy it. Like, I bought some shit off eBay that I thought was chloroquine. It was just chlorox. I don't know what the fuck that shit was.

Some type of queen. Some, it's like a dietary supplement. But I bought it. You know what I'm saying? Because you just never know. And when you don't know, you're just looking for any form of hope, bro. 100%. 100%.

100%. There's a, Elon Musk tweeted out the chloro He was, I think, the first person to throw it out there. Really? Yeah, it's just a tricky time, man, because, like, as dangerous as this disease is, right, or viruses, and as serious as we pretend to take it, right? I don't think it's really going to be serious until somebody that we know dies from it. Because there are all these people dying, but we don't have any connection to them.

So in our heads, we're like, man, it's just the flu if you're young. You don't think all those people getting sick? Like the Idris elk, because you know, America is an, is obsessed with celebrity culture. Idris is looking great. Tom Hanks looking great. It's like we need to see struggle and like, we need to see something. We need to see something that puts fear in us. When you see Idris in his living room with his fine-ass girlfriend, you're like, I want some Corona.

That looks all right. Yeah, that's why I was happy. Not happy, but Slim Thug called the Breakfast Club this morning because he got, he tested positive. And he actually had symptoms. Ah, now I'm saying. Okay. And that's what he said. All of these people, all of these people like,

oh, we don't even have no symptoms. Symptoms was like, no, I had a headache. I had a crazy feeble. You know what I'm saying? So he said, I went to go get checked because he was like, he's a hypochondriette. Right. He went to go get checked.

And by the way, he said he was doing everything he was supposed to be doing. He said, I was not one of these people, not taking it serious. He said, I have my mask. I have my gloves. Only time I left the house was to go get something to eat, I took my ass back home. I'm staying in the crib. Yeah.

He said, you've been doing everything he was supposed to be doing. and he tested positive, but he had symptoms. DJ Webster, who, you know, back in the day, he produced a hit song, Chicken Nuttle Soup. Chicken noodle soup. Yeah. He caught it. He said he had real bad symptoms.

Chills, high fever, the cough that wouldn't go away, all of that type of shit. And he said he just thought it was the flu. Yeah. But it turned out he tested positive for coronavirus. So it's good to hear that. You need to hear the bad story. Those people have actual symptoms. There's a, you know, Carl Anthony Towns?

He plays Power Forward. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So his mom is in a coma in the hospital right now with it. See what I'm saying? That is, I think, the first story that's going to resonate because it's somebody that we know. And it's happening to their mom. So it's like, oh, shit, what if it happened to my friend's mom? What if it happened to my mom?

Like, all of a sudden it becomes real. I just, for whatever reason, we need to see a real life situation, I think, for people to take things seriously. I think that's why Tom Hanks said he had it. I don't even think Tom Hanks or his wife had it. I think that the government or whoever was just like, hey, can you do this favor and say that you got it? Because people know who you are. Maybe it'll take this shit serious if you say you got it.

You believe that? I was going to put that under the what-of-fucking idiot section that people actually believe celebrities are signing up, you know, are getting paychecks to say they got this disease. No paycheck. No paycheck. I think it's literally just a favor. It's basically like, hey, we need to promote this.

We need people to take this seriously. Tom, you are the most famous person. Can you just say you got this shit? You're at the at-risk age. Say you have it. And then people would be like, whoa, if it happened to Tom Hanks, it could happen to me.

The problem is nothing bad happened to Tom Hanks. Not yet. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And I think he got through it. So you basically saying that they offer not the same endorsement deals, they offered magic in the 90s.

People said the same thing about magic, but it was like, your magic don't really got HIV age or HIV. just said they wanted him to say he had it because he's like a manly man. People thought that HIV was a gay disease. Yeah, but after that, you still got it. Like Corona, you come back from like, I'll dapp up Tom Hanks in a couple months. You know what I mean? Like when I dab up magic, I'm still like, all right now. Yeah. And all you fucking, all you fucking idiots who say stuff, like y'all kept posting that meme about Magic Johnson with the mask saying why does Magic

have a mask on? It's because HIV compromises your immune system. Yeah. Okay. If you fuck around and catches Corona magic will be out of here, bro. Game over, dude. Like, stop, man. What's wrong with y'all? Like, use a little fucking common sense. Yeah. I'm with you, though.

I just don't, I don't need a celebrity to make me no shit as real. Like, I can look at that family in Jersey. Like, it's a family in Jersey, bro. They lost four people. Four out of here. Family of 11 lost four. And it was like back to back to back. It was like a brother, a sister, a mom, and then somebody else.

Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's just like when I see stuff like that, I'm like, oh, shit, if I watch, you know, if I'm looking at the news and they're talking about the little girl in Atlanta who's 12 years old, who's in the ICU fighting for Corona. I'm like, wait a minute, I didn't know 12 years going to get Corona. You know what I'm saying? So all of that stuff makes you take this shit way more serious, especially when you got, you know, a child at the house.

Yeah. So I don't need a celebrity to catch it. I salute to everybody who does. Smooth to everybody who's waiting on Cardi Bita and now she got it or whoever, but I don't need that. All right. I get it. You have a natural, like heightened paranoia of things, right? Absolutely.

Like you are your doomsday ready in a way where you think anything could happen because realistically in your life, anything has happened. Like it's rare people just run up to you and try to punch you on the street as a human being. It's happened to you. So now you go, oh shit, I've experienced a pretty worst case scenario. So nothing's surprising anymore. I think the average person is it feels like.

they're invisible. What you're saying? Everything you're saying is true. I, um, I strangely, bro. I strangely have not had any really bad anxiety about this whole situation. I've been like, you already dealt with it. I've been strangely calm about this shit. Because you're taking it serious. You're like, most people who have anxiety about this shit aren't taking it serious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you take it serious, you're in the crib, you've got the food. You don't need to go outside. You've probably got a little land so you can walk in the backyard, et cetera. And also, it's not like you know. need to be around people.

Like, you don't mind being around your family and your daughters from what I understand. You know, I'm a cancer. I'm a homebody. I love this shit. This shit, because for me, one of the biggest sources of my anxiety is parental paranoia. So, like, when the kids are at school and I'm in the city.

Now you get to know that they're good. I'm good. I know everybody's good. I'm good. I ain't worried about not a goddamn thing. But I just, I honestly have just, I'm going to tell you what helped me a lot. The seven spiritual laws of success by Deepak Chopra.

Okay. You know, salute to the homie, Debbie Brown. You know, my sister, Debbie Brown. She's been telling me about this book for years, said this book changed her life years ago. I just got around to reading it a couple weeks ago because, you know, we really don't have shit to do. So I'm just catching up on a lot of things.

And like I listened to it. And I thought it was too short. I listened to it on audible. And I'm like, it's only hour and 26 minutes. But then I bought it. And it's just just short. Like it's only like 160 pages. Yeah.

But he has this one law man. It's law number six. It's the law of detachment. And he just talks about leaning into the uncertainty of everything. Love it. Just lean. into the uncertainty of it all. He was like, he said, when there's problems, when there's

chaos, when there's turmoil, when there's confusion, just lean into it all because eventually there will be a problem, I mean, a solution in that problem. And that's honestly been my mindset. I'm like, fuck it. Because what can you do? What can you do about this shit? You can't do nothing, bro.

Nothing. There's nothing you can do. But maybe leaning into that, like you said, maybe that's the right. You know, that's a good idea. Maybe we should do that. What should we give the people this week Like good Corona distraction content, like books, shows, any of those types of things. Like, how do we fill their schedules with things that they can check out indulgent? Oh, I can tell you everything.

I can tell you, you want to do a bucket one? You want this to be the deep dive? Let's maybe do a little deep dive on that. That'd be good. Let's do the fuck. Let's let this be the deep dive because I'm with you on this. Okay, go. Preach your comforts, right?

When I tell you that I get up in the morning and I watch ESPN. Yeah. The reason I watch ESPN is because going to ESPN gives me a sense of normalcy. Because that's something that I would do any other time. You know what I mean? So what I would tell everybody out there is don't break your sense of normalcy. Try to keep a routine. Try to keep a schedule as much as possible.

That's great. And if that's part of your schedule, if going to ESPN, watching First Take as part of your schedule, do it. Another thing that I picked up, I've been watching a lot of Disney Plus, right? Okay. Because when you're sitting at home alone and you're just being still, you really start to hear those voices in your head. and you start to hear people like Andrew Schult saying to you, why the fuck you got Disney Plus? There's nothing on Disney Plus.

And I'm like, that's not true. Disney Plus, but I had to go make sure, right? So I've been defending this shit based off what they have to come. Yeah. Right? Not what they have. Yeah. So I went on the Marvel thing of Disney Plus and I've been hooked because I've been watching those, man, I've been watching those old X-Men cartoons that I used to watch when I was young.

When Gambit was actually good? When Gambit was fucking good. and yo it made me feel so bad about this Wolverine tattoo I got on my arm because Wolverine was pussy in the X-Men cartoon Wolverine I'm gonna tell you what's so fucked up Wolverine is gangster in the comics right yeah he's a fucking beast and that goddamn X-Men cartoon you ever seen that meme where he's like holding the picture and they put different people in the picture but in the cartoon it's a picture of Jean Grey okay he really was pussy with never got none of the pussy

if you watch the cartoon he gets fucked up all the time like every other episode Wolverine is hurt and I'm like Wolverine got healing powers He heals instantly Everything heals but his heart

Like what the fuck bro And you got other You got other villains calling him old Yeah like you fuck you're all He's not even old man Logan yet I'm sitting there looking like You know they really made Wolverine look soft as fuck in this cartoon

I thought he was badass in the cartoon I guess I forget No man I just think he was the only cartoon with forearm hair. So I think for some reason, I think that made him like badass. I'm gonna tell you when he was tough when he went to Canada. He's definitely the toughest motherfucking in Canada. Oh, yeah. He had an episode when he went to Canada and he fought like the Vindicator and Alpha Flight, he was fucking them up. But when it comes to them goddamn

American superheroes and them goddamn superheroes in other countries, always getting his ass kick. Always getting his motherfucking ass kick. But I've been watching that. But that's been a creature too because that brings me back to my childhood, right? Yeah, there's like imprinting from like fun times. Yes. That's why I think. That's smart. That's why De Nice felt so good. Yes. The Nights felt so good because I was sitting there thinking like, man, if you're 20 years old, you're really not appreciating any of this shit D.Nice is doing.

Right. All these songs are old. Right. Stuff that I grew up on and it's stuff that my parents used to listen to. So it takes me down this memory lane and it makes me remember a time when things were just good and normal. So I look at this situation like almost being in jail. Your body is kind of trapped, but your mind is free. There's something interesting about D.Nice that I was trying to break down

why it was so, like, beautiful. And obviously, it tapped into this connectivity thing that we all want. We all want to feel like we're doing something together. But I also think what it did is he recreated the club. Like, when you're in the club, you're in like a nice nightclub, right? You look over at the bottle service and you're like, oh, shit, there's 50 cent, right? Oh, shit, there's Ti. Oh, shit, whatever. When you're watching De Nice's live, all of a sudden you see the comments, you're like, oh, shit, Michelle Obama's in here. Oh, shit. Oprah's in here. Oh shit, Charlotte-A-M-A-N-Hit. Like, you start seeing these people like you would see them at the club,

and you're like, oh, they're bored alone at home just like me. Everybody's going through this. Yes. It was just this really nice togetherness, this moment of togetherness. And I think that's what's going to win during this time. Like, if you could find real unique, organic ways to get everybody experience the same shit. Bro, humans need each other. Yes.

And I think that's one of the things that God is trying to show up. us throughout this whole coronavirus epidemic. I don't like the distance. I like distance when when I personally need distance. Yes. But think about it. We interact with people so much. We don't even,

we take that for granted. You know what I'm saying? Like every day I'm constantly around people. Like every freaking day. Like we're the guys who when we walk down the street, people want to come up to us. Like we get, we get bombarded with people invading our space all the time.

I don't even think I want to call it invading the space anymore. It's just that we are sharing the space. And now that we're not able to share the space, you know, when we want to, it feels kind of strange. And, you know, the thing, even going back to De Nights, the thing that made D. Nice so special is I think it would be the same if you decided to do life. If you got on live and you said, I'm going 50, I'm going to do a 15 minute stand-up special. Yeah. You. Yeah.

And you did it on a state. Every like, like, you're like, I'm going to do a 15-minute stand-up special. Yeah. that shit would have ripped so hard because you're a comedian. You've been building this up for years and years and years. I don't think people realize D. Nice is a celebrity DJ.

Right. He's been a celebrity DJ for 15 years. Every year when I go to Anguilla, when I go to Anguilla for New Year's Eve, for three out of the last four years, there's been this party at this place called the Reef. Kenny Burns has hosted at D. Nice is DJing. We go there every year.

I was there this past New Year's Eve. You know what I'm saying? So what D. Nights did on Instagram, was, him being dope wasn't unique to me because we know D. Nice is a, is a dope DJ, but when you see Michelle Obama because he's played for Michelle Obama. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If he did he jump in the live. It's because he's played for Ditty before. When you see Rion in the live, they've all been the parties that D. Nice has played. You know what I mean? And plus it was just, you caught lightning in a bottle. It's a random Saturday night. Everybody's at home.

And the time he spent. What time? he was on it for like nine, ten hours. So throughout that time, anybody could pop in. It's so low an investment. It's so little. You don't got to leave your house. You don't got to get your shoes on.

You don't got to do nothing but literally tap a button on Instagram. And now you're in. You're at the club with Michelle Obama. Yes, you're giving people time to talk. Like, yo, De Nijon, De Nizon, De Nizon, D Nizon. Make sure you get the, you get people 10 hours to fucking join you at some point. Because everybody just wanted to say they were a part of the experience. Yes, that's it.

It didn't matter. It didn't matter when you were there. You didn't have to be there when Michelle was there. You were on. You know what I'm saying? You got to see what the fuck D Nights was doing. Yeah. That shit was beautiful, man.

That shit was fucking beautiful. There's little things where I feel like, you know, there's these little corona hacks. I feel like you could take advantage of right now. Like my girl pointed this out to me. And so really fancy restaurants. A lot of times they don't deliver or do to go, right? You know, the places that you can barely get a reservation

it's so hard. But because nobody can go eat there, they have to find a way to make revenue during this time. So they've started delivering. So you and your wife, your girl, or you and your boys, whoever you're fucking quarantine with, you can get delivery from Carbone or Manetta, Tavern, like these places that you could never get a reservation for unless you're a fucking famous person. They're going to bring it to your house. So what I was telling, like me and my girl do is we just have a date night where we actually get dressed up. Like I put on clothes. Like I'd be going out.

She puts on something nice where she goes out. So we're not bummy in the sweatpants. And then we have an inside date night. You know? And I feel like, yeah, it's just like a nice little thing to break up the monotony. Because it's so easy to like stop shaving. It's so easy to stop shower. And like you said, it's so easy to fall into this feeling of like claustrophobia.

And then I feel like you start projecting the way you feel inside. So like doing those little things like going to de nice thing or even getting some nice food order it in. Like, I feel like those things have kept my mental strong throughout this. Keep some normalcy, man. I put on a hoodie, put on this new hoodie today just because I'm doing this podcast. Really? I know what I'm saying? Like, like, like, you can't, and by the way, you can't hide from the real you at a time like this. What do you mean about that? Have you, have you seen Kevin Hart lately? Yeah. Look at a matter of fact, let's pay some bills. And we can, let's pay some bills that we can come back and talk about Kevin Hart and all of them.

We're going to find out which celebs really got hair. We're going to find out which celebs are using plug, dyeing their shit. Oh, that's good, man. Let's pause and pay some bills, man.

The announcements are a very important part of what we do in church. Let's get into some church announcements.

Do you have any church announcements? Man, yo, I do. I don't have the exact dates, but basically everything, every comedy date that I have now is rescheduled through May at the moment. It might be through June with how this is going. But I think things will really get back to swing in July. The beginning of July, I think that's when we'll be at live events again. But we're going to hold on to the June dates for now. Everything is rescheduled so you guys can go, you know, I'll give you those dates very soon.

We're just locking in and everything. And then the special is included in that. So we're going to shoot the special at a later date. I believe it's going to be November because I want to do it after the election. Because I don't want to record a special before the election. And then by the time it's edited and it comes out, it's after the election. And then this huge transition or change may have happened in the country. And I can't in some way address that energy.

Like I'm almost glad that I didn't record a special before the corona thing, this corona pandemic. because what if you did it before and then you put it out and you're talking about how great the world is and how we need to be great or like your energy don't match what the people feel and I feel like my my competitive advantage with comedy has always been like for whatever reason I can sense what people feel and need you know so it's like I don't ever want to put out content that doesn't reflect that feeling that they have that they might maybe can't articulate but it's inside them you know yeah I mean this is this is a defining moment

in American history, right? And if you're a comedian, you know, I feel like comedians, just like musicians, they're like record keepers. Yeah. I'm saying? So you got to keep a record of this.

You can't have a stand-up come out this year, especially in November and not talk about the Rona. You cannot talk about the-that might be the name of it. You got to talk about that Rona. That Corona Quimby, baby. You know what I'm saying? She's a fucking pest. You know what I mean?

Matter of fact, I don't want to talk bad about the Corona, because I don't know how that motherfucker gets inside of you. So I got nothing but respect for the Rona. Rona, I respect you, though. Yeah. You know what I mean? Just please, when you finish done doing what you're doing, you know,

just let us know you leave until we can get back to normal. That's all we want to get back to normal, man. What about you, dog? What kind of, oh, other church announcements. Obviously, the Corona's got town show. And then we do a nightly show here out of the studio that we haven't named. It's still unnamed. But some people call it a red table cough.

Some people call it the Quarantine Chronicles. Some people call it Kung Flu Hustle. There's a lot of different names for it. But, hey, stop. I'm coughing now. My fault. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Cawfin is like gunshots.

It's like some Theo Bonds said it's the new N-word. It makes everybody uncomfortable. Exactly. If a white person does it, it's like, yo, did you just call me the N-word? If a black person does it around a white person, they're like, yo, bro, bro, that's what's on you. No, the white people are like, well, why can he do it?

But I can't. But yeah, that is fucked up. It is fucked up how we cough and sneeze. shaming during goddamn allergy season. Yeah, but that's because we're not going to get it, bro. Come on, let's be honest. It's okay to do a little cough and sneeze shaming right now, especially if you're in public.

I don't know if we're not going to get it. I'm talking about allergies, not Rona. Oh, well, I got allergies. Oh, all right. Well, there's coughs things all you want. I got allergies. I've been good this week, though. I've been good in the house.

I'm going to tell you something. I was good. I went outside yesterday, though, to take the trash out. And it's like all that cold air. that 10, 30 seconds jumped inside my body. And when I came back in the house, I could feel it inside of me. And I started like immediately coughing again.

I'm like, man, maybe there is something to fucking keeping this heat, keeping your body heated. You know what I mean? I was like, should I go get the blow dry and fucking put it up my nose like that dude in Florida said you should do? Hey, do whatever you need to do to get through this.

But holding them fucking coughs and sneezes, you got to act like a white guy listen to DMX on. You know what I mean? Like there's certain bars you can't spit in their entirety. You've just got to, you just gotta stop and hesitate.

You can't, you can't, if you're doing jig, uh, what's my motherfucker name? My name. Who? You gotta say to N-word like this.

You gotta, you gotta muffle that shit. You gotta dab on that. You gotta do the shit you won't care about next week. First of all, salute to Kevin Hart and his beautiful wife

and Nico. They're expecting another baby. Oh shit, during the Rona. Yeah. I'm just, I'm saluting them just because I want to talk about how I love the gray hair realness that Kevin Hart is given. Oh yeah. Kevin Hart in two weeks has aged, you know, like a president that's been in the White House for eight years.

It's unbelievable, bro. Like, it's like, yo, I don't want to live, I don't want to live that life anymore, man. I don't want to have to always get the baldie, always get my beard shaved. You know what I mean? I've never had to do the Beijing, the blackout. I don't want to have to do all of that because. when shit like this happens, people are like, they feel duped. You know what I'm saying?

The morning after with a girl you met at the club. Yes, man. And it's, you, I can't believe Instagram hasn't come out with the fucking haircut, shave in Beijing filter, bro. Where's the blackout filter Instagram? The quarantine filter. Come on, man. They need a quarantine filter.

Yes. Oh, that's genius. You show Instagram a picture of what you looked like before the quarantine. And then it's a filter. They put that thing right back on you. Yes. Yo, you got to do that. That's genius.

Kevin Hart looked like. Kevin Hart really looks like a OG from Philly who retired to open up a steak, a cheese steak place. Yeah, he looks like candy. Yeah, he's the candy man. For real, for real. Like, but it's, I mean, it's good though because Kevin is just able to, when this shit is over, Kevin going to look 25 again.

Yeah, he's going to rebound so fast. By way, and you might be watching him on Instagram. It's probably, it's probably movie executives like, holy shit, we could have been getting Kev to play these grandfather roles for so fucking long and now we can finally get Kevin. Yo, cast Kevin, some of these,

some of these older rolls. Yo, do you think the quarantine is going to show that black does crack? It's going to show that, it's going to show that, you know what it's going to show? It's going to show that black cracks, but what you don't see when the black cracks

is, you know, the people coming over to do the maintenance and filling in those cracks, which you know, you know, various products. Oh, you know what I'm saying? saying. I had something for you as far as distraction. Have you seen the show Tiger King yet? Nah, it keeps popping up on my Netflix like I'm watching it though. Oh my God, bro. I mean, Akash said it perfectly. He said it's a white trash Game of Thrones. It's a reality show.

Oh, it's a reality show. A documentary. Reality documentary. It's seven episodes. They're like 40 minute episodes. It's not that long at all. I promise you it is the wildest thing you'll see on fucking TV. It involves murder plots. Everybody owns exotic pets and animals. It also has the guy who Scarface is based on who also owns a zoo, like crazy fucking tiger shit and halebillies missing teeth, addicted to meth, a gay guy who only fuck straight dudes and marries them. It is the craziest fucking show and it is perfectly time for this quarantine. If you want to see how white trash, white people get, like you thought you knew white trash when you were living in South Carolina. You didn't know nothing, my friend.

I didn't know it was about white people. I'm going to be honest with you. I thought it was something that Netflix threw out there. And, you know, people would be like, yo, watch Tiger Key. I'd be like, yo, bro, stop being racist at a time like this. You know what I'm saying?

Like, I really honestly thought that they put it out there. The sequel to Tiger Mom. Yeah, I thought that they put it out there because they were capitalizing off all the attention that China and Asians are getting right now. I didn't, I didn't, I had no idea about white people. Not a single Asian in the whole thing. Dude, but seriously, go watch it.

It's unbelievable. I'm going to check that out. And another good one, the outsiders on HBO. You see that one? I haven't watched that either, no. Go watch that one. That one's good too, really good. What's that about?

I don't want to give it away, but basically someone gets murdered, a little kid gets murdered. And the person they accuse of doing it, they have on film, they have on camera, they have all these other things. They have him. They have proof. They have DNA. They have everything that's him. but that person is also on camera, DNA and everything in a completely different city at the exact same time.

Wow. So it's like how the fuck could do these two things happen at the same time. I got to check that out. Also, I want to say that. I don't know if you've been watching DJ Callet on Instagram, what he looks like a penguin that is absolutely about to like just destroying some shit. He got the,

because Cala got the wild grays. Like when you get those grays on the side right here, you just automatically look like some type of super villain. Yeah, like a detective from the 50s. Yeah, a crooked detective. Yeah, a detective from the 50s are a fucking supervillain, bro. Like, just like what the fuck? Yeah, what was the guy who was like the guy who ran the newspaper in Spider-Man?

Oh, yeah, the Daily Bugle. Daily Bugle. Yeah, in Spider-Man. I can't remember his fucking name. exactly what the fuck DJ Callet looks like. Editor of the Daily Bugle Hill. That's what he looked like a fucking penguin that runs a newspaper.

It looks like the headaches of a fucking newspaper. The Daily Penguin giving you your coronavirus updates. A salute to Pornhub. Shit you won't care about next week. Pornhub is joining the coronavirus relief by offering a free premium

subscription to everyone for the next 30 days. Now, are you wacky off? Nah, I haven't been fucking, bro. You haven't been fucking. No, I've definitely been practicing social distancing when it comes to the sex.

Really? Why not? Explain that. I haven't thought about it. It hasn't been on my mind. I'm going to be honest with you. Like, you know, we got the, you know, the kid who took the kids out of school like a week ago and I've just been kind of like focusing on this new normal. I haven't really gotten into

to that aspect of shit yet. You know what I'm saying? Like, I haven't gotten into the we haven't added that that we haven't added that to the repertoire i don't know how to how to create the normalcy with that do you think that that is going to create strain on relationships no because i think at a time like this man i think that we're going to be looking for much deeper connections than just sex you know what i'm saying especially if you've been with your woman for a long time i think that um emotional connections mental connection spiritual connections like you know we played a family game the other day where it was like what's your favorite food what's your favorite color

stuff like that. You know what I mean? And I mean, I think those are the things you actually take for granted. Like when the last time you... What's the family game? It was a game my daughter made up,

but she wrote down questions like, what's your favorite food? What's your favorite color? So everybody had to answer these questions about each other. So you're learning about yourself. Yeah, yeah. And it's dope because you realize,

of course, this is your family, but it's a lot of shit that you just know by just being around your family, but you've never heard them put a label on and say, oh, this is my favorite thing. This is her favorite thing. thing, you know what I mean? But I think like those are good, those are good bond scrimfiting games. You know what I mean? Like I just think that we got to tap into something deeper than just

sex at a moment like this. You have a long relationship with your woman. So it's not essentially defined by sex. But I do think that there's like a potential for struggle here because it's easy to like not fuck you and your girl not fuck when like you guys are really busy and that kind of stuff. Right. Like, oh, we're tired. We had a long day. All these. these kind of things, right? But then I think when you're with each other with nothing to do all day and you still don't fuck, I think it's possible that people see it as a form of rejection, right? Because there's really no excuse. It's just us. We're around each other all day. And I wonder if people will realize like, hey, your body is reacting to something very different.

It depends what you're doing though. Like for me, man, it's like, you know, me and the wife are, you know, we're sharing information. I mean, that's something we do anyway, but it's just amplified more, it's multiplied now. Like we're reading books and we're watching TV and we're talking, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's just different, you know? Like, it's not even, I honestly haven't even,

I think I might have thought about it. I mean, I might have thought about it, but there's nothing that I've even wanted to act on. I haven't had to, have I had the desire? I don't know, bro. Isn't that weird? I haven't thought. Like, I haven't thought about it.

I might have thought about it one day when I was on Pornhub watching Granny Porn. You love that old people porn, bro. Are you preparing? I'm not preparing, but that granny porn is very interesting because I've never seen. I've never watched it. I've never, I never thought about older people having sex. Yo, these older women be getting it the fuck in.

And it's these young dudes that love sleeping with these old ones. I'm talking about grandma, bro. I'm talking about 75 years old, bro. Taking that young cock and not giving a fuck about anything. Like, yo, this is this one-up. old woman who just loves to, she don't even, it's not even that they're running trains on her. She just loves to sleep with two guys

at the same time, right? You could just see the I don't give a fuckness in her eyes. Yeah. And these older women that are letting themselves be recorded, they don't give a fuck. They're old. They don't give a shit. Like, what are you going to do? You're going to put this out and say, look what I did to somebody's grandma?

Like, nobody gives the shit, bro? So you think you're watching it now because all the old people might be dead because of Corona? So you just want to get this in while it's still around. Got to give them their views while they still here. Yeah. I don't know, man.

I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just something I've never watched before. It's just a new level of porn I never watched before. Yeah. Speaking of what you just said, uh, things you won't care about next week, but we probably should. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of, of Texas. Yeah. He was on Fox News last night, basically echoing Donald Trump's sentiments and just like, look, man, you senior citizens have to be willing to die to get the economy back on track.

That's essentially what he said. You know what I mean? So I was curious about that, though. Like a lot of times we make decisions for people based on how we feel emotionally, right? So right now, we're all making this decision. We're all going, hey, we don't want to die. So old people, they probably don't want to die. So we got to save these old people.

I'm really curious if we asked people 80 and up, hey, do you, are you willing to risk getting corona or maybe you guys self-quarantine or something like that? and then everybody else goes back to work. Or would you like us to make sure that you're safe and you are protected and then we destroy the global economy? I wonder if they would say, hey, I've lived a great life. I don't want to affect these younger people's opportunity to live a great life too. Let us quarantine and make sure you give us our food, give us our, you know, rations and we'll stay safe inside the apartment and make sure you check on us. But no, we don't want to fuck up the world for the youth.

I wonder if they would say that, honestly. don't know, but I know guys like Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who's 69, Donald Trump, who's like 73 years old, if y'all feel like senior citizens to die for the economy, then take the lead, okay? Like, when you know, when the economy starts to collapse, y'all collapse with it. You're like, like, you're not senior fucking citizens, y'all senior citizens. So you, Donald Trump, you, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, talk to your base, talk to all those old people that like to wear MAGA hats and all these rural. areas and ask, ask them if they want to clock out. Yeah. Like, listen, all you old people,

like old people, that's like 70, 80 years old and you think that older people should be gone because of the economy, don't let it be my grandma or my granddad or my mom or my dad. Yeah. You want to make America great again? Here's your chance, buddy. Time to die. Yeah. All right. What you're going to do? Right, straight up, you can't ask somebody, if you're a leader, you can't ask somebody to do something that you're not willing to do. 100%. So if you, when he goes,

God, Patrick, Donald Trump, if you're going to fix your mouth to say things like, look, senior citizens, got to do what they got to do and take the risk of catching corona for the economy to be better.

All right, senior citizen. Go out there, shake some hands. Okay. Do your part. Here's an interesting one. If this is a war against the virus, right? Okay. We accept that

In war, there are going to be casualties and people will die and there will be soldiers on the front line and those soldiers on the front line will die. We've always accepted this, accepted us throughout history, right? Mm-hmm. Are they the soldiers on the front line? If this is a war and we're treating it like such? I think we're actually doing what Italy did. There was a point in Italy, if I'm not mistaking, where hospitals were just choosing. Who lives and dies?

You know what I'm saying? And I don't think that should be any government. that shouldn't be left up to any government because truthfully, we don't even know how coronavirus impacts people. At first they were saying it was just impacting older people, but now we see a bunch of younger people getting it. You know what I'm saying?

So you just simply don't know. I just think it's very dangerous and irresponsible just to tell people we're going to open back up in Easter and just to go back out there and start living your regular everyday normal life when you really don't know how this disease impacts people yet. You know what I'm saying? So I just don't, I don't think it's worth it.

No personally. I think they're lying to them. I just think they're lying to them because they want to like, they don't want to spook the market and they don't want to spook the employment records. Because once, once everybody gets fired, that stock market is going to take a historic dip, bro. And that's what Trump is trying to avoid. So I think he's trying to like miss Lee. He's like, no, we're going to be back in April for Easter.

And then all of a sudden Easter's going to come around. They're like, ah, it was a little early, probably May. and then that's going to take a little longer. We'll be back in June. So I think he's just going to push it little by little and keep people kind of like holding on for dear life. Because if they go, yo, it's down for two months. This shit coming to a screeching halt, bro.

I think it's two viruses out there, bro. Yeah, you were saying that last night. What do you mean by that? I think it's two viruses. I think it's one virus that's kind of like, kind of like, you know, mild. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

And then it's another virus that's like Corona Plus. I really do. Like I really, I think the one virus. I think it's the one virus that people get and they recover from after 14, 15 days. Then I think it's the other virus that's really killing people, like really getting people to fuck up out of here

in a real way. And either they know it's two viruses, but they don't want to say anything because they really don't want to spook people. Or this virus is mutating in a different way. Maybe it affects people's bodies differently. Maybe the way you get corona and the way I get corona

would be totally different. That makes sense, though. I don't know. It just just seems weird. Like it does seem like we're dealing with two different diseases. Because at first it's just like, oh, it's okay. It's just like the flu, yada, yada, yada, whatever.

And then it's like, no, such and such got it on March 9th. They died on March 17th. They had no preexisting health conditions. They were 44 years old, like rest of peace, DJ Black and Mild in New Orleans. You know, he got in on March 9th. And he died this past weekend. I look at the principal in Brooklyn, 36 years old. He had no preexisting conditions from what I read.

wrong. She got it. She died. Like, so it's just like, I just don't know. I just think, I really think it's two different diseases, bro. Yeah. No, it's possible. It is possible. I mean, who the fuck knows, man? There's so many different conspiracy theories about what this thing is. There's people out here saying that it was caused

by 5G. I saw Carrie Hilsen say that. We should have put her under the what a fucking idiot. Nah, because there's a couple of professors saying that as well. And the reason the conspiracy theory exists is because they say it has to do with like anytime you've like affected the electromagnetic field around the earth or like placed an electromagnetic field on the earth that there's been an adverse effect on

humans like the virus in your body is like your cells reacting to this this like adverse stimulus and i'm going to butcher this but um they're like they they they're basically like what is the one city in the whole world that is completely blanketed in 5g? York. Nope. What? Wuhan. Oh, Wuhan. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know what the fuck 5G is. Let's start. Let's backtrack. It's just super fast internet. I'm just going along with the conversation. What is that? It's just a super fast internet. Yeah, so it's just even faster, I guess. But you know,

does the internet need to be any faster, bro. Say what? The internet doesn't not, the internet does not need to be any faster. Man, we are talking to each other while looking at each other. I mean, I think this is enough. This is cool. I think Louis C.K. a funny joke where he's like, he goes, do we really need any more porn? Like, haven't we done it all? That's what they're trying to get to, by the way. What's that? They're trying to get to the point where I can take my dick and stick it through this

computer screen and put it in your mouth. That's what they're trying to get to. They're really trying to get to that, bro. I'm telling you that's what they're trying to get to. That's what they want. They want goddamn 69G. That's what they fucking want. Is that why it's called Microsoft?

soft. They won't stop until it gets micro hard. God damn it. Holy shit. But it's still micro. It's still micro. Okay. But until they get it micro hard, motherfucker, they will not stop. Shit. That's exactly what this is, man. Talk about hard, Charlotte, man. Have you heard of Blue Chew? Ooh. Blue Chew, guys. Listen, you're at home. You got to satisfy your wife.

the brilliant idiots. You know, this episode is also brought to you by Mercari, Charlemagne. Macari. Mercari. Now, guys, if you have a bunch of stuff

lying around the house and I know all of you right now have been looking through your house and looking at all the bullshit that you have. I got a bunch of bullshit. Exactly.

Now it's time. Organize it. Get rid of it. You got a kid's baseball glove that no longer fits, a pair of jeans that you don't only wear once. an old hiding, you know, old phone hiding in a drawer or something like that.

Macari, the selling app. Now, Charlemagne, the guide, it is very important. I ask you about something because there is a little drama, a little accusation

thrown out there, okay, that by another podcaster, that you might be leaving the breakfast club? Who said it? Another podcaster said it. I believe it was Joseph Button. Oh, okay. I believe Joseph Button said that you will be leaving the breakfast club. Is that correct?

What is the deal with that? No, in all seriousness. Is there any truth to that? I think that's just Joe's opinion. I mean, I can't be mad at Joe's opinion, though, because he's basing it off a conversation we had when he was on breakfast club with State of the Culture interview. Right.

You know what I'm saying? So, I mean, those. What happened in that combo just to bring us up? to speak. Joe just asked, are we redoing our contracts or something, something to that extent? Right. You know what I mean? And

we all just got silent basically and, you know, I just said my contract is up in December. Whatever. Which is true. Which is true, you know, but take that however you want to take it. I think Joe just, yeah, Joe just going off the speculation that he's heard out there, you know what I mean?

Because a lot of people ran with what I said in that state of the culture interview and they did articles on it and stuff like that. You know what I mean? It became a little story. It was in page six and things of that nature. But I'm not tripping off that. I actually was listening to the Joe Button podcast on that day.

I was more, you know what? I'd be more concerned about, man. What's that? I don't like the, I don't know if I like, I don't like the misinformation about platforms. right, whether it's the brilliant

it is or breakfast club, you know what I'm saying? Because both of those are my babies. Right. And, you know, that's what I'm brilliant. It is something I've been doing for the past seven years. Breakfast Club is something that I've been doing for the past nine, right? So I see, like, I saw Joe say that

and then I'm just looking at YouTube comments and I see people say things like, oh, well, you know, the brilliant genius isn't that successful. And I'm like, that's so disrespectful because it just shows me how misinformed people are. And it's, it's, I told you, I told you a long time ago, the reason I love the brilliant is because we created such a cult like following.

Yes. Brilliant idiots. And we have like this, this, this niche group of people who listen to brilliant idiots. And when we do live shows, which we haven't done one in a while, but when we used to do live shows, live shows be sold out. Like we've taken, we've done brilliant idiots in London, sold out shows, you know what I'm saying? We get requested, go overseas to do brilliant idiots all the time.

But just more important. I think Brian Natives is on what, 300. Krista Taylor jump in real quick. 300, how many episodes? Oh, man. In seven years? Yeah, yeah. Five years I think we've been doing.

It's like 305, 305, right? Yeah. All right. At 300, we did the math. Brilliant Nidias has over 80 plus million listens. 80 plus million fucking listens. If that's not successful, I don't know what the fuck is. So I think it's because we, well, at least I choose, you know what I'm saying?

Andrew, Andrew approaches it a little different, but I choose to keep something brilliant. It is something close to my heart and like not be all out there on French Creek with it. You know what I'm saying? Because as soon as we let some of you little motherfucking outsiders in, y'all ruined shit, okay? And took us out of context and the way we like to do things over here. And we had to fucking tiptoe and walk on ice for months, okay? Andrew didn't. Andrew doubled the fuck down, triple the fuck.

down and I'm glad he goddamn did. Okay, but fuck. You know what I'm saying? You ruined it. We let y'all in the motherfucking house and y'all infected everybody. That's exactly why during this quarantine, I'm not letting nobody to fuck in until this shit is over.

That's a good idea. We let y'all motherfuckers in and y'all fuck shit up. So I think being that we don't put it out there like that, and because me and Andrew rely on each other so much because we believe in each other that much instead of bringing in guests all the time, it's just like people kind of, we take those kind of numbers for granted, bro.

Yeah, I mean, that's another thing. It's like, and I've experienced it, I'm sure you've experienced it with Breakfast Club where it's like, if you have a big guest or an interesting guest or an interesting interview, those numbers are going to spike, right? Yeah. But there is also something to having the same two people talk every single week, no guess, and having this insanely successful show. I mean, like, I mean, there's many ways to define success, you know. I mean, there's strictly monetarily defining it. I mean, is that, did Joe say that it wasn't successful? Oh, no, no, no.

I was just reading comments in the thing because, you know, people compare things, like what you shouldn't do. Like, they compare the Breakfast Club platform. Let's be clear about the Breakfast Club platform. Breakfast Club platform is a once-in-a-lifetime generational platform. You know what I'm saying? Them shit don't come around all at a time. You know what I mean?

So what we built with the Breakfast Club is unique. So you can't compare a podcast to that. You know what I'm saying? You shouldn't. They're different things. You can't compare what we do here on Brilliant Nidians than what I do over there. For what we do over here,

over 80 plus, that was episode 300. We had over 80 plus million listens. So we're way above that now. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I like what we've built with the brilliant idiots. This is a great platform

and it's consistent. Seven years going, baby. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? With a lot of ads and everything else. That's why I guess, I guess when we do, you know,

finally take this thing to, another level, another situation, people will respect them more. But I think to a lot of people, this is brand new because I even see people saying to me, Charlemagne, you need to start your own podcast. I don't want to do the Charlemagne the God podcast.

I wanted to do brilliant idiots. I wanted to create a whole other brand with my guy. You know what I mean? And that's what we did. And we have this whole unique, you know, crew of listeners, a bunch of brilliant idiots that roll with us. And I appreciate it.

Now, when it comes to the Breakfast Club, there's just this wide, hip, having a hater on Joe Budden podcast who just puts out a lot of misinformation. Like what? I mean, it's just like when you say things like the Breakfast Club doesn't have the relevancy that it had two or three years ago.

Relevancy is subjective, right? Because I'm not trying to be the hip-hop. I am hip-hop, but I'm not trying to be the guy that has the hot hip-hop story every couple of days. You know what I'm saying? Brothers like DJ academics, they have that space. You know what I'm saying? And that's the way the game goes and that's good.

You know what I mean? Breakfast Club caters to so many different things, whether it's hip-hop, whether it's politics, whether it's religion and spiritual leaders, whether it's mindfulness and mental health, whether it's entrepreneurship. So if you look at the Breakfast Club numbers, not only have they gone up,

we're in 100-plus markets throughout the country. This is the problem with consistency. people get used to it. You take distance for granted. Yeah, it gets comfortable when things are. You take a motherfucker average in 30 points for 17 years like LeBron James for granted because you're just used to it. Yeah.

Like nothing really impresses you from them anymore because you've seen them at your best. But when you're talking about what, yo, we're in Toronto, Canada now, bro. Bro. The Breakfast Club is syndicated in Toronto fucking Canada. The youths are global. They're global. It's like you can't go anywhere where they're.

hip-hop fans and they don't know what it is. It's that it. Not even just hip-hop. Charlemagne's on CNN and MSNBC all the time because of the interviews that we do on the breakfast club with presidential candidates. You know what I'm saying? You got these, you got those platforms like that saying the breakfast club is a must stop. Yeah. But presidential candidates.

Like, come on, bro. Like, yo, like don't like appreciate things in our culture that have grown and that have evolved. Okay? Yeah. And just because they're not on your particular radar. all of the time. Maybe you need to get your head

out of the fucking ground like an ostrich and look around and see how everything has grown and everything's evolved. I do that shit all the time. Like I can look and I can see what place DJ academics has

in the atmosphere. I can look and see what plays Joe Button podcast has in the ecosystem. I can look and see what plays Rap Radar has in the ecosystem, drink champs,

Joe Rogan podcast, Jesus Amaro, you know, stuff you should know. Any of these podcasts, like, This podcast out there that is doing motherfucking fucking five million listens a month

that I know y'all niggers don't listen to. Okay? And that ain't a shot. It just is what it is. Right. You know? You put it like a cough, Schultz. Yeah, I tried.

I took my head away from the camera. I feel like a lot of times it's hard for us to get out of our bubble. Yes. So it's like when people that were in our bubble, grow past our bubble and not past meaning they no longer operate within it, but they also operate within other things. And if you don't see that, you don't see the effect.

So if you have this like very myopic view of life, which is, hey, I am looking at the hip-hop world and how things are affected in the hip-hop world, you're not going to notice the greater effect of a show like the Breakfast Club, right? Joe does. I give Joe props. You know what I'm saying? Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe really gave it up last week. And he was saying, like, I'm not even going to,

he said, I'm not going to understate the value of the breakfast club and Charlemagne and what the game, how the game would look totally different if he wasn't on, wasn't on breakfast club no more. And, yo, by the way, man, I appreciate that. You know what I'm saying? And the reason I appreciate that, because any of those brothers are tell you, I'm the guy that gives it up, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

I salute Joe Button for what he's built with his podcast. I salute academics. I salute a Joe Rogan. I salute Andrew. Like, I love this. I love this. love to see people prospering. You know what I'm saying? Because

it's so much out here for every fucking body. You know what I mean? Like when I see D. Nice game on Instagram and he does his DJ live set and then I see a bunch of DJs following suit, I'm not mad at that. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He created an energy. He created the energy that's creating other waves, you know, and I feel like we've always done that. I feel like we've done that, whether it's with the breakfast club, whether it's the podcast, whether it's you with your

stand up and, you know, the way you started putting it online and now other comedians are following suit. Like, that's the way shit is supposed to be. So I just got to embrace the role as the influencer. Like you got to embrace the role as the innovator. Like, you can't, I think, like, the person who creates with confidence is cool when everybody copies them because it's like, okay, I'm just going to make some more new shit. Right. And the person that creates with insecurity gets upset when other people are doing the same thing because they don't have the confidence they could create more new shit. I don't care when anybody takes the things we do. I love it. I tell them to do it because you just going to push me to do even.

more. You can just push me to have a new idea, man. So, but yeah, I like, I like the idea of, like, getting credit when credits do, but I also understand the role that you got to have when you're a leader, which is you're leading because you're built to lead. You're not leading for the credit. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. You built, and that's what you said. You hit it right on the head. I'm building, we're doing this because we built the lead, you know what I mean? And I just don't like, yo, this don't sit around and wait on, wait on people's downfall.

You know what I mean? Because, you know, a few years ago, you're like, oh, it's over for them. Like, it's a rap. They almost done. They burnt out. And then we turn up. We turn up in a way that people have never seen a show

turned up in a couple years with, with everything from presidential candidates to soldier boy to everything. And now it's just like you've got to kind of eat crow. And your only thing is, well, Charlemagne's leaving. So when Charlamagne's leaving, it's over. Nah, nigger. You don't know, by the way, we don't know what the future holds is what I'm saying.

I'm just saying, like, don't do that to, don't do that. But it also looks bad on you because you got to stop, you got to stop talking about someone like, if there's someone you don't like, you got to stop talking about them like their royalty, right? Because you have the ability to make news. You have the ability to make waves. You have the ability on your platform to do whatever you want. but if you're sitting around going, well, we'll take it once the king leaves the throne. It's like, what's you mean for?

Instead of building your own pie and building your own throne. Go to work. Yeah, just don't, just don't, don't be a wide hip-haven hater is what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? Like, don't just put misinformation out there just because that's what you're hoping happens. You know what I'm saying? Because I don't do that to people, you know what I mean? When I see people and I think that they are doing good, I salute them.

I think you've been very complimentary of more. To be honest with you. I vary. When he first got on there, I said, yo, he was the missing link. So I don't know where the hate comes from. You know what I mean? I don't know what it is.

But, you know, I just hope that after this whole quarantine is over, you can still fit in your jeans. Okay? People go and gain some way. Them shit, you be putting tension on them motherfuckers now, bro. Them shit be stressed to fuck out. Okay.

All right. Okay. All right, my guy. But, no, salute to the Joe Biden podcast. Salute to academics. Look to everybody, man. You know, he had a great point. I saw on Twitter.

He made a great point. He said that the, he goes, the Joe Rogan Experience podcast is the Drake verse for comedians. And I thought that was really well put. Like Drake doing a verse on one of your songs. Yeah. Really put you on, put you on and doing, as a comedian, doing Joe Rogan, really can put you on, man. I get what he's saying,

but Joe Rogan podcast got way more impact on comedians than it does. Than Drake does on a rapper? And the Drake verse has on rappers. Like, it's been some songs Drake has been on that hasn't hit, bro. I can't think of too many comedians. Shit, I can't think of any that's been on Joe Rogan

and haven't seen some type of elevation, some type of boost. Oh, no, it's a guaranteed, it's a guaranteed boost, especially when you're built for it. Like, I think a lot of people don't realize now, like you have to be ready for a Rogan. you have to be ready for a breakfast club. Like when you go on Rogan or Breakfast Club or one of these big podcasts, right, that has a lot of influence or brilliant idiots or whatever it is,

like if you have no digital footprint before, all those people are going to go look for you afterwards because they like you. And then if you have nothing on the internet, they're going to be like, oh, he was fun and then they're going to forget about you. But if you got tons of content already up, you got a weekly podcast, you got shit that's constantly in their face, they're going to go, oh, I love that guy. I'm going to follow him. And I'm going to keep up with him. And I'm going to go check out his shows. I'm sure the same thing is with hip hop, all that. You probably have guests that have a great interview, but they just don't put out enough stuff where people can continue to pay attention to him. That's what I always tell you. Don't come on at breakfast

club unless you got something to sell, unless you're trying to raise money for something, you know what I mean? Unless you're trying to point people in the direction of something that you're trying to build. Like, you know what I mean? If it's not already set up and organized, don't come on to breakfast club with it. I still get people coming up to me because of Joe Rogan podcast. See? You know what I mean? And I see people quoting shit that Joe Rogan said to me. Like literally, literally when all of those stories were out like, oh, Sholomey's leaving Breakfast Club, it was

people in the comments of the New York Post, you're everywhere, and they were saying shit like, yo, like Joe Rogan said, Sholamane is the last radio star or whatever. It was like, listen, man, some shows just have that impact and have that influence. You don't take Joe Rogan for granted because he's been on for 10 years.

No. No. Because honestly, the longer you're on, it's like a fine wine. It's like a coniac. the longer you're on consistently performing at a high level, the greater value your show has. You think Canada is putting us on in the morning because we was hot for a year. No, Canada is putting us on because we've been consistent for nine years. And this is something that you can make an investment. And this is good stock, baby.

Yo, hot is way easier than consistent. Oh, yes, man. Yes. Hot. That's what people don't realize, man. Exactly. Hot is way easier than consistent. right?

Yo, the irony is hot is cool. Yeah. The irony is hot is actually cool. And guess what? That hotness can cool off real quick, bro, bro. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You can be hot for a year.

You can be hot for two years. Yeah. I mean? But when you consistently, come back and talk to me when you're consistent for nine, ten years. Simple is that. When for nine, ten years,

you've put up 30. Now you're a consummate all-star, baby. Also, let's talk about something like cool in general. Being cool is so whack. Like, have you ever been watching something that you're really excited about, right? Like a TV show or even a concert. Let's say there's a concert where you're just like, fucking, I'm going to let loose. I remember once I was at Ed Shearing concert and there were some people in front of me and they were trying to act like they were too cool for the concert.

Like they weren't letting themselves get into the songs. They were like some hipster fucking kids that they were like kind of making fun of the concert a bit and it ruined my experience because I was like yo why are you trying to be cool here? Why can't we all just

why can we all have the confidence to just let ourselves go and enjoy this fucking great performer and just look stupid and all that stupid and in that moment I'm like yo the cool guy the guy who's like

never that impressed kind of like over shit nothing really phases him is the wackest dude like you never want him around it might be cool in the movie if you're like, or a TV show if you're fucking Fonzie or something like that. But like, as a friend, you want to get excited about things in life and passionate about things

in life. And if you got your friend who's just like, man, it's all right. It's like, why are you even here? Why are you even here? Why are you even here? Why are you in front of the camera? Because my thing is like, if you're going to be a comedian, a media personality, a musician, if you think you're too cool for school and you can't open up and show some vulnerability or

or even be afraid to fucking fail. You know what I'm saying? It comes from now. You got to be You gotta be fear. Fear. It's fear looking stupid. Yes.

You got to be willing to get criticized. You know what I'm saying? You don't get, you don't get nine, 10 years of consistency without making some motherfucking mistakes.

It's going to be some times where you say some shit that people don't agree with, that you do some shit that people don't agree with and motherfuckers going roast your ass for that shit. But guess what?

You just got to continue to do you. Look at LeBron, man, though, you know how much shit LeBron James gets? Mm-hmm. You know how much shit Jay Z has gotten over the years? Oh, God.

That's what they did. Stayed fucking consistent. And the only way to stay consistent is to know exactly why you're doing it. I'm not doing this because I'm trying to get monetary gain out of it. I'm not doing this because I want people to love me. I'm doing this because Leonard McKelvie, Charlemagne de God, loves doing this. That's something I think a lot of people don't realize. Like you and I are smart people that understand entertainment.

and we know how to make things massive if we want. If you wanted brilliant idiots to be a 10 million listening podcast, there are things that we could do and change in order to make that happen. What I want, and I assume what you want is to do the show that we love and then get the most out of the thing we love, not do the show that might get the most views that we hate. So for me, as long as I love doing this, as long as I love doing this, the people that listen,

that is enough for me because I love doing this and it's insanely successful and profitable and all these things, but it's the show I love to do. I don't want to sacrifice joy. What you just said is a corona cheat code. It's a corona cheat code because we talk about doing something for the love, right? I'm in the basement right now doing the show. You in the studio risking your life in the middle of New York City right now

to do the motherfucking show, right? Yeah. Everybody right now, everything that all this shit is stripped away from us, right? The jobs, you can't go into work, you can't go to school, whatever. the only things you're really going to care about at this time is the things you actually love. So it's your family, right? You lean into your family. You lean, if you're D-Nice, you lean in the DJing.

If you're a communicator on a podcast or radio show, you lean into that. Like, I would be going crazy if I didn't have this kitten here and I couldn't do the breakfast club in the morning or if I couldn't do motherfucking the podcast. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like the thing you actually love, the thing you would do for free

is what you're leaning into right now. You know why? Because technically you are doing it for free. You know money. I know for a fact, the night's probably lost like over 100 grand, 150 grand this year, because he can't go out there and play gigs.

100%. But he's in his house for nine fucking hours because he loves what he does. He's not doing that because he wants you to love him. He's not doing that because he's trying to get some money. That's how he was taking his mind off of this situation. And everybody bought into it. Yeah.

And that's what we all. all have to do. You got to lean into what you fucking love. Lean into your love. That's, that's fucking great. That's great. Simple is that. Yeah. Shit, let's do some asking idiots and get the fuck out of here. Let's do it, man. We got some, Taylor? Yeah, I got some right here. Okay. Taylor, you want to read them? You don't want to show your face because you don't got your head done.

Excuse me. You guys can read them as usual. Yep. Taylor won't put them. that fucking camera on. Why do you try me all the time? Come on, put that guy. Oh my God, look at that fucking hair. Got him. My God.

Shit is rough and Philly. She's in Brooklyn. She asked me to come to the studio. I said, hell no. All right, ask an idiot. Evan Kwasdanian says, what is the most contradictory thing you've seen from someone

who is being super cautious of their health in these times. I mean, probably me coming to the studio every single day. Hmm. I mean, I am in the crib. It's studio to the crib, and everybody who works at the studio

has to do the same thing. It's studio to the crib, crib to the studio. But I think that could be a little bit contradictory. I probably could have been a little better about that. And I saw yesterday

in this time where elderly people was really supposed to be taking care of himself. Joe Biden was on Jake Tapper's show and he was broadcasted from his house. and, you know, Jake Tapel started talking to him about his age because Joe Biden is like 67, no, he's 70, 8 years old. He's old, right? He's going to live, he was, Joe Biden is going to remember BC twice

before Christ and before Corona. But Joe Biden fucking, they asked him about the coronavirus and, you know, how was he feeling? He was like, oh, I'm good. I haven't had any symptoms and I'm taking care of myself. And then he coughs into his fucking hand. Literally seconds later, And Jake Tapper is like, that's not how you cough.

You're supposed to cough into your fucking arm. And he's just like, you know what? You're right. You're right. I just thought that was contradictory. And I couldn't even say very disgusting because he's at that age when he really don't give a fuck. Yeah.

I mean, this is really, every presidential candidate is 80 years old. And we have a virus that really only kills them. I don't know, bro. This shit might be. It's all about the running mate, baby. Say what? It's all about the running mate. They better get them a goddamn 40-something, 50-something

your running mate with a great immune system. That's a fact. Yes. All right, apex.vmg says, would you rather get yelled at by your girl in front of your friends, parents, or kids? Ask an idiot, what you say, Schultz. Yield that by my girl in front of my friends, parents, or kids.

Yeah, which one would you rather? I'd rather get yelled at in front of my parents because at least my dad would be like, yeah, you know, it'd be like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't mind getting yelled. Well, you know what? I wouldn't want to get yelled at in front of my kids by my girl. Not my kids, not my friends.

But my parents, they'll get it. Yeah, I think the kids and the friends are disrespectful. I think if you're yelling at me in front of your friends. I got to know the reason you're yelling at me, though. Like, for example? I mean, if I, you know, black men don't cheat, but if I got caught cheating and in that moment, you know, the girl that I was cheating with was there,

or you happened to look at my phone, something. But your kids are also there. for you yelling at me in that moment. Oh, okay. Yeah. But just yelling at me because, you know, you bossing me around like you do at the house. Don't do that shit in public. Yeah, now that's a little bit crazy.

You can't do that. Add some good for him. Tariq. Tariq Shogh's asking a idiot. Tariqhawks said, if you got the Roni from your side chick, should you quarantine with her instead of risking the health of your family?

If you got the Rona from your side chick, should you quarantine with her except risking the healthier family? Oh, nah, man, you got to be with your family. I think if you got it, everyone got it. I think that's how the rona goes, man. If you got it, your loved ones get it. If they get it, you get it.

That's just how it is. If you get the roner from your side chick, you should go quarantine by your motherfucking self. That's a good answer too. That's what you should do. That's what you do. You're quarantined by your motherfucking self. And by the way, you would never have to admit to your man,

girl, that you got the rona from your side chick. because how could you even prove that you got the rona from your side chick? Yeah, exactly. But that camera went right on Taylor's edges just now crazy. I'm not even in this conversation, even. Keep going. Hey, at hell, Giff is hilarious. At hell Giff commented. I know this is sarcasm, but this is why I love to brilliant idiots,

because this is a call back to something we talked about. Ask an idiot, what is your reaction, knowing that Steve Balmer bought the forum for $400 million in cash, knowing that he could have gave each American one million, million dollars can still be fine. You know, I love American math, bro. Hilarious. I like that he bought the forum, though, and finally give the Clippers a home.

I think it's pathetic to share a stadium with the other team when you know that stadium is their stadium. Like, you can't develop fans like that. You can't develop, like, culture like that. I mean, it's just crazy. You just, you're the side chick. That's what the clippers are. So the fact that they're going to have a home, boom, I'm into it.

You're going to see some competition in L. Yeah, I see the clip was winning at least two championships. Ooh. Two to three over the next four or five years. So I think it's worth it. You know what I'm saying? It's worth it to be able to hang some of your own banners up in your own fucking stadium. Facts.

If they win one in the Lakers Stadium, could they even hang it? That's a good fucking question. That's a delimit at L.A. has never been prepared to fucking... To handle. Face. I think the Clippers got retired jerseys, though. Ain't Elgin Bail or retire? I don't know.

I don't know. But come on, bro. You need your own stadium. Social gang, asking idiot wants to know what would show to do to prevent more errone cases in New York? Shit. It's a good-ass question, man. Oh, bad weather. We said this earlier.

But that's the key. If you could find a way to manipulate the weather, just keep it rainy, keep it cold outside. Nobody's going to go out to house. New Yorkers don't like that shit. We'll stay in if it's snow in. We'll stay in if anything. Anything that could fuck up our sneakers, we're not going to leave the house. So put it, fuck your sneakers up weather.

As long as fuck your sneakers up weather, Corona will die immediately in New York City. All right. I think we talked about this, but Mart E. McFly, 24 says, what is your take on Trumpito? Trying to reopen the economy way too soon before experts' recommendations. I'm going to be totally honest with you. I want that to happen. You know what I mean? I want the country back open.

Right. You know what I mean? But I want the country back open when it's time for the country to be back open. You know what I mean? And tell you flat, you can't worry about flattening it. flattening the economy until you flattened the fucking curve. So that's the thing. It's like people's health and the health of an economy are intertwined. If you don't have healthy people, you can't have a healthy economy.

So if you open up the economy again, then everybody gets sick, that's just going to have even more devastating effects on the economy. So I think you have to take care of the people first. I mean, look, I'm no fucking economist or health, you know, official. But I think you got to take care of people first and then you can crack that bitch open. and then put a big stimulus package in there. Put some money in my pocket. I'll spend it. I do understand, though,

why they haven't implemented martial law. And the only reason I'm calling it martial law because I don't know any other name for it, I would just say a government mandated, you know, lockdown where everybody has to stay at home. If Donald Trump wasn't the president, if there was any other president in there that people actually trusted

and didn't look at as a racist or a bigot or look at somebody that has the potential to be a dictator or a king, whatever. it is, they wouldn't mind. If Barack Obama was in the White House and he said, look, we need to have a government mandated lockdown, the flattenness curve, this is what they did in China.

We know we're not China, but Americans, you're going to have to sacrifice a little bit of freedom, a little bit of civil liberties just for a couple of weeks until we figure this shit to fuck out. We'll figure out, you know, the packages to make everybody get a few thousand dollars or whatever it is for the next couple of weeks. So y'all be able to pay your bills or, you know, shit is

suspended, renting all of that until y'all, y'all can pay your bills. If he, if it was Barack, people would accept it more. Being that is Trump, motherfuckers don't want to hear it. Not happening. But if you look at, you know, the way the cases are throughout the country,

yo, it's places that aren't getting hit nearly as bad as New York City. Right. Nearly as bad as New Jersey. Nearly as bad as California. So why should everybody be on a government mandated lockdown throughout the country? You know what I'm saying?

You might need to build the wall around New York. You know what I mean? build a small little wall around California. Right. And just contain things in the rest of the country. Like, it's no need for everybody to be on lockdown. Like certain parts of the country should be kind of getting back to normal. Right.

I would think so. I mean, yeah, that's one way of looking at it. The other way I looking at it is if they go back to normal, it actually will start to spread again. That's, I think, the fear. Especially in New York. It's bad. It's bad.

But I think also the thing with New York is, New York is testing more than everybody. And if you get tested, if you don't get tested, you can't get anything. I mean, you can get it. You just won't know. I know, I know guys who treated AIDS tests like that for years. 100%. I used to treat that HIV tests. That's right. You get that HIV test as long as you don't go back. You good. You know, who's clean, baby. We're clean out here. Who knows anything? Y'all talking about Corona and I showing those symptoms. You show me the symptom magic is shown. There's plenty of people that's living with. HIV who haven't shown no goddamn symptoms.

They just out here. Okay? Yeah. I killed the messenger. This is the last one. Last question. I killed the messages said, will the rona forever change the approach of eating ass? No. I think if anything, we'll eat more ass because we know how much people value toilet paper.

Great fucking point. Americans got clean asses, bro. Let's be honest. America got clean asses. If it's one thing America cares about it's clean asses, bro. I bet you bidet. I bet you the sale of the days has grown tremendously since this corona shit.

We know they can't keep toilet paper on the shelf. Motherfuckers clearly ain't blowing their noses. I think that eating ass is in. The second that we get back to, you know, no longer social distancing, socializing. Second we get back to socializing, eating ass is going down 100%. You probably appreciate eating ass more.

Wait more because you know what the person put themselves through so you could get that ass in. Yeah, because when it comes to distance, right, like distance, this six feet of distance thing when everything's all said and done, it's going to make us want to be as close to people as possible. You know what I'm saying?

Like having your tongue in someone's ass. There you go. There you fucking go. I agree with you 10020 million percent. God bless. Taylor, we see that thing of Vowatracks on your dresser, too. I just want to throw that out there.

I don't, you didn't. You're not trying me. Yes, we do. You didn't fucking move. You're looking at my life. That's how I'm looking at. You're annoying, but you forgot to mention, too, that there's going to be a lot of babies, too, after all this is done.

I don't know, because I ain't fucking. You fucking shows. I'm fucking. I almost left it in today, so she might be right. Whoa. Hey. Come on, bro. Okay.

I did see a funny tweet yesterday. This girl was like, hold on. Hold on. I'm going to read this shit to you. This shit was funny. We can get, we can end on this shit. This girl said, bring the NBA back. I'm over here getting fucked six times a day.

Yeah. The other girl said Other girl left for comment And said, Bitch, that's all I gotta suck dick every two hours Bro And then another girl sent the girl

That said she got to suck dick every two hours You put prayers It's true, man When you when you have like something like this happen You realize the athletes don't get paid enough Yeah man They deserve real yo For the amount of distraction they give us

They deserve more What about teachers? Say what? Man, they need a razor bar for teachers too I mean, I'm going to agree with you because it's the right thing to do. I always thought teachers should get paid more money than... I mean, my mom's a teacher, though, so I don't know how much she made. My mom, the most of my mom ever made was $30,000 a year.

Oh, that's criminal. That's what I'm saying. And she's in South Carolina. Like, teachers definitely, yes, teachers, doctors, anybody that's a public servant like that, that's why our taxpayer dollars should go to. 100%. And don't ever let America tell you they can't afford shit ever fucking again. All right?

Don't ever like, don't want to hear that shit. I'm paid in full. When Mitch was like, I'm broke, baby. And Uncle Ice was like, shit, I can smell a motherfucker with money. Okay? That's how we got to start calling out America when they say they can't afford you.

When they say we can't have free health care, when they say they can't afford free college, when they say they can't erase student, you know, debt, student loan debt. Fuck that. These motherfuckers found $2 trillion from some goddamn way. So here's the thing with that. I mean, obviously it's a little more complex,

but like, here's the thing with that. When they were thinking about bailing out the airline industry, and the airline industry isn't like American Airlines or Delta, it's actually people who make the airlines like Boeing and shit, right? Boeing rejected the bailout. Why? Because the country was like, we want equity in your company. I believe we want equity in your company until we get our money back.

In other words, we get a piece of Boeing for five years until we get paid back or whatever, right? Fair. Sounds fair to me. Sounds fair to me. It sounds fair, but Boeing, this is what people don't realize. When you're such a big company, you have leverage. Boeing is so big that if they fail, it really fucks up the economy, the global economy. So in that situation, they're like, nah, I want more. I want more in this

negotiation. So when it comes to like money, if you really want to find a way to fuck the government into giving you money, make it so that when you guys, for example, you want reparations, right? How did the bus boycott work? This is a perfect example. How did the bus boycott work? They fucking boycott it. Until until they fucking got what they wanted. Because it affected the money. The money. Right? So that's the way you do it. Like if Black people, if you want reparations, stop spending. If Black people really want reparations,

what they got to do is literally go, okay, we're not spending a single fucking penny. We're going to grind this economy to a halt until you cough up some bread because we're We know the thing you're more scared about you being the government. The government is more afraid than anything is the economy grind into a halt. So the real power is the ability to stop the economy. So if you got to stop spending completely, then the government comes and negotiates just like the bus boycott. That's why they're not going to come bail out some student loans. They're not going to do none of that shit unless we reduce spending and affect the economy in that way.

That's the best manipulation. I agree. Stop spending and stop just fucking randomly voting for. goddamn Democrats. If you're black. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, we should be voting in blocks and we should be voting for people

that are looking out for our best motherfucking interest. Facts. Okay? But all I know is America can get that money whenever the fuck they want to, bro. These motherfuckers is like your mama. Like, you know, you got that mama in the hood. You know what I'm saying?

Who you always thought was poor and touch your reach into that goddamn bra and pull out some stacks of motherfucking cash. That's what the government did with that $2 trillion dollars. I don't, I don't, even know how many zeros is in two trillion, bro. Two trillion fucking dollars?

The fuck. It's a lot, baby. That's a lot of fucking money. It's a lot. Listen, I'll end on this. Sluke to Teslin Figuero. Tessalon Figuaro had a PSA. She said, beware, ladies, the stimulus bill has passed.

You will get 1,200 per adult plus 500 per child. The same bum that wanted to spend your income tax, your income tax last month, but didn't pay any bills in your house, is now back on the hunt. And you think it's true? I know it's true. Really?

It's a lot of attractive fat girls today. That got three and four kids. A lot of fat girls with three and four kids is getting that, hey, big head techs. You know what I'm saying? What you're doing? Who you quarantining with? They're built for the quarantine.

They could cook. Right? They could clean. The house got snacks. Still kind of chilly here in New York. You know what I'm saying? Hey. That warm body.

Hey. Get you a fat girl and quarantine. With three kids because you're about to get $500 per child. Ooh, I like this. Go get rid. That's right. That's right. Listen, as always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart,
