Yep, Salomey Guy. Andrew Shope. We are the Brilliant Idiot Podcast. Back for another week of Brilliant Idiotness. Hezzy. Yes. How you feel? Feel great.

Daddy Hezzy, man. You are a freaking father, man. Nothing I wanted more than Andrew to have a child, but more importantly, a girl. I prayed for it. I prayed for the day that you get a girl and turn straight, pussy. It's over. It is over. It's over.

It is over. I already feel it's over. I come out the womb. Every bit of toxic masculinity. Gone. Gone. Gone. Everything gone.

I'm a feminist. Yo, I am a feminist, but I'm also like, I don't know. I'm a lot of different things. You're a feminist, yeah. But in a weird way. Like, I don't think women should work because I'm a feminist. I'm with you on that. Does that make sense?

It makes perfect sense to me. I think that, um. After you give birth, like, everything work is beneath you. That's our role. It's it. I don't. roll sounds like a strong word. It does sound like it. Now you're going a little far. No, now you're going a little far. Wow. Hey, listen. It hasn't been a week. You're starting a little toxic. Hey, you're

sound a little toxic. Listen, there's women in the room. Why don't we ask them how they feel? Why? We can't silence these women. Anyway, so, listen, I just want to be mindful. You know what I'm saying? The difference. You know what I mean? Listen, it is a difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is a difference. What do you mean what's a difference? What are you talking about? Oh, you got yourself a mic so you don't have to do that shit every single time with Chris?

Well, it's okay to say. I say Taylor doesn't have kids yet. Ah, yes, yes, yes. But yeah. Word yet. Yes. Yeah. But when you have kids, would you want to work?

What I'm saying is once a woman gives birth, it's beneath her to go back to work. There's a bit more important job. Not even a more important job. Like, what are you really going to do? It's like, come on, this is... What are you going to do that's more important than that. Yeah. That's all. That's it. Beneath women. If no, if it's your passion and you want to go live

your passion, that's fine. But if you don't like it and you can afford not to, it's beneath you to go back to life. Once you have a child. It's the crazy. Seeing a woman give birth is the craziest thing. Unreal. Did you cry? I cried when I heard the baby. Wow. Because she had a C-section. Wow. It was 24-hour labor. Wow. It was insane. 24-hour? 24 hours in labor was unbelievable. You never see anything like this. You never said. Did you stay off your phone? I'm not talking about like recording just in general, like texting, Instagram.

I don't even remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I genuinely do not even remember. I just remember that like it's not, and it's also, you know this. It's not 24 hours you just chill in there. It's like every few minutes you have a contraction and it's the worst fucking period you've ever had. They can't drug her either, though, right?

She was drugs. No, initially she wasn't. Really? She eventually got drugs the next day because she was like, yo, this shit is too crazy. And she had to go on this thing called Pitocin to induce the contractions. It was a little thing. Because they didn't really want to do the, she didn't want to do C-section at all. She wanted to do completely natural, vaginal, no drugs, nothing.

And why does she, well, that's probably too much information. That shit, that shit, that's just snatched. Too, what you mean? It's too tight, bro. You know what I mean? For real. That's really, doctors said. God, damn.

Yeah, I mean? Ha, I thought it was just me. But it turns out the earth. You know what I mean? It's too tall. It's too tall. Yeah. You know what I mean?

They told my wife she couldn't do vaginal anymore after a second, but that's why you hire a doula. You know what I mean? You know what I'm? You know what? Come on. Because you still want to tap it up. You still want to get down it up. I'm just like a white guy trying to give down.

What do I'm saying? Tight wife gang? Type wife gang. But no, that's why you have. TWG in the motherfucking building. You hire a doula. White gang. T.W.G.

Tight wife gang. You know what I mean? But that's why you hire a doula. The doula navigated us through that. We had a dula. We had a... Oh, you had the dula and all that word. We had all these things.

This shit was too snatched. That's real what the doctor said? I never heard that before my life. Literally, the doctor was like, I ain't ever seen nothing. Yeah. And if the doctor was Asians, you know it's true. Yeah. You know it's true if the Asian doctor was like, I ain't never seen nothing.

He's like, I didn't split something open before. No. Just saying. Congratulations, man. It's crazy. Congratulations, man. Asian-ass doctor, boy. I just want to see the change that this woman has on you.

This young girl. What do you mean? I just can't wait to see. It's impossible to be different. You're different than a moment. Immediately. I'll be honest, though, and I was telling them that, like, the immediate connection is not with the kid.

Like, it doesn't happen, like, instant. Not for the father. For the father. For the mother knows the baby for 10 months. The baby's inside, right? But for the dad, you get handed this. like alien and every movie you see is like in that moment my whole life changed is like that's cap it does not change in that moment it starts to seep in and slowly just kind of takes over and

within like the first like hour or two this like weird paternal instinct just took over that's right like i was telling the guys like i literally i could accuse the doctor of being a fake doctor to steal my kid so you stood you stood outside the uh what's that shit called chris not Now, this is after the surgery, I'm in the room with Emma, who's recovering. He's breastfeeding. And then when they try to take the baby away to go. A doctor with a different colored doctor outfit. You got to follow him.

I didn't follow him. I said, who are you? I'm from pediatric. I go, I need to see some ID. And then I went and got the nurse. I was like, you know this bitch? Is this bitch right or not? That's right.

That's right. Then you follow them and you stand by that fucking shit all day. You're looking at all the babies to make sure it's no mix-ups. None. You know what I mean? None. That's mine right there. Absolutely.

Uh-huh. Exactly. And by the way, the best is yet. Tight white gang, daddy gang. Listen, the best is yet to come. You haven't even experienced the best emotions. We got the tight whites, bro. He got you.

Come on, right? He got you. Come on. We out here. Hey, we out here. Why am I crazy? Mine was different. My teen sexual wasn't because of that.

It was because the baby came like a month early. So it was like an emergency something. So I forgot what the name of it is called. It's called emergency T. WG. That's what it's called. Emergency T.W.G. My boy.

You haven't even experienced the best stuff yet, though. I mean, there's so much to experience that first smile. You know what I mean? The best. Then when they get older, it can crawl to you. Oh, man. Right now, they still don't recognize us, really. It's in that stage where, they're just reacting to the world.

But I don't even know if they're reacting to the world. They're just having, what's the word I'm looking for? They just got it. I think they recognize mom, though. I think they recognize Dad, too. It's not what you know. I'm just a joke. You deserve that one.

You kind of deserved that one. Why? Because they recognize voices? No, you're right. You're absolutely right. And they even recognize it from the woman. I feel like there's a connection. I don't know.

I felt like there was a connection when I met. How old was your god? They might actually. But now she's fucking 16. I'm saying like when she was born. I was my best friend the entire pregnancy. She absolutely heard your voice in the pregnancy, and she absolutely is familiar with it.

She's taller than you now, right? Absolutely. Yeah. Her trans are tall as shit. It's beautiful, man. It's awesome. I'm telling you, you have, the best is yet to come. You have no freaking idea.

Did you take off when you had any of your daughters? Well, I had gotten fired. My oldest was born June 2008. I got fired November 2008. That actually was the best thing ever, because I was the person at home. I was to stay at home. I was feeding the bottles.

You're good at burping? The diapers, burping, all that stuff. Shoot, I don't even remember. Now, I just did what I used to do in the movies or what I saw everybody else do. Just hold her up pat it. Isn't that crazy they give you a human being don't give you a notebook or nothing?

Nothing. It's like criminal. The easiest thing is when you put them on their stomach and I could be wrong, but you put them on their stomach and you just pat them up. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I heard that's not good to do, but you know, fathers, we get lazy, bro.

I don't know why men can carry. so many things, but carrying a baby gets heavy quick, bro. He's not. No, no, no, carrying a baby gets heavy quick. There's an emotional weight. Y'all don't know what it's like to be a dad. Y'all don't know what it's like out here for us. You know what I mean?

Y'all are ridiculous. Why are we ridiculous? We're proud fathers. Do we not be proud fathers in this podcast? Absolutely. And it gets better, man, because I'm telling you, I got four, so it's like I got different age ranges. And I actually overheard the eight-year-old and the five-year-old.

I'm in the kitchen. I'm literally saying, sitting there eating. Yeah. They talk to my wife about something. And my wife goes, don't do the pout face. The pout face don't work on me. So my youngest daughter, Fabio, she turns in eight years and goes,

yeah, the pout face don't work on mommy. It only works on daddy. And I'm sitting there like, wow. Fuck, I'm sitting right here. It's like, I'm a call and play, and they can't do anything to stop it, right? So I call her over and I go,

show me the pout face immediately. Did it work? I hope it's not like that. She didn't even ask me for nothing, and I wanted to give her something. You know what I'm saying? But the fact that they know, eight and five, they already know, ah, please push over.

It is crazy. Like, there's something biological that takes over where you're just looking at this thing. And I don't think, I'm trying to, it has to be because, this is going to sound like the most obvious sentence in the world. Who gives it for it? But it has to be because it's your baby. But it also applies to your parents. So, like, my parents and my wife's parents look at the baby,

and they're having these same reactions. Whereas other people that don't know me or they may maybe know it, they're still like, oh my God, I'm so happy for you, this is awesome. But I don't think they're having this reaction we're like, oh my God, I can't believe. So there's something biological that's just past now.

Like seeing my mom weak when she saw the baby. She's a grandmother. It's the first time, right? She never thought she'd be a grandma. Really? Never thought. She even said it. She's like, I never thought this moment would happen.

It makes you. I know. I know. She's like, God. I know. You're not going to shoot him. You think you're a game? Say again?

Even when you got married? Yeah, my son. She thought she was gay? Not gay, say. That's kind of like the biggest gay flex ever, yo. Your parents don't think you're going to have kids. Why? What reason would they have to think that they boy wouldn't have kids other than you're gay?

Damn. My parents think I, well, it's their fault for raising me a fucking dance studio. You know what I mean? Go get a fucking real job. You know what I mean? Oh, man. It makes you appreciate your parents more, too, though. Not yet.

No, it will. No, I will. It will. Because you realize, like, you look like, damn, my parents did all of this for me. Bro, it is, like, I already appreciate my dad so much, but it's even making them appreciate, I appreciate him even more. Because my mom went back to work. My dad was able to take off.

It wasn't, like, paid leave, but he was working at NBC. He was, like, producing the news back in the day. So he was able to take off X amount of months, unpaid leave. That was back to the paternity leave wasn't even. even a thing doesn't even exist, but you could take off. And so my dad raised me for the first few months. My mom had to go back at work. And so I'm like, how the fuck did this guy know how to do these things?

Like, I feel like women like exchange this type of information. It's almost like culturally part of you guys. Like, oh, this is how you burp. This how you swaddle. This how you hold a kid. Like, women already know these things going to swallow. Swaddle, bro. Yo, I was like, what the fuck?

I got to do anything. You need some TWG, bro. For real. You need a TWG, bro. You got to stop playing around. It's swallowed up. It is Valentine's Day, though. You going to get some?

No, no. What's your gift? Why isn't it so quick now? Why you're not going to get some on Valentine? Like, that's corny. Pussy on Valentine's, yo? But what if they want some dangling on Valentine's? They don't.

That's like just some traditional shit or some shit that people think they're supposed to do. It's so much fun being black on Valentine's Day. You're not getting none either. Don't you think you plug. dick like I got you with chocolate Easter bunny think about how much fun the pranks

you could do on Valentine's. You're not getting none? What? You're not getting none? You got to waste six weeks, baby. Is it only six? My wife done told me it was like 16. I knew she was lying.

No. She want to feel that tight as long as possible. She still got it because we got the C-section. That's not intimidating for you, though. What? I'm putting my dick in the C-section. Hold on. putting it in the vagina.

What the fuck you're talking about? Try something new. This guy's crazy. This guy is an absolute crazy human being. Try something new, man. Try something new. That's disgusting. Yo.

How do you know it's disgusting? Nobody's ever done it. Does it change your... I mean, this may be too much to ask. But like when you have a vaginal birth, does it change the vagina? Nah. No, no, no.

It makes you appreciate everything even more, yo. Because it's like, such a magic canal. It's like a... Women are incredible. It's unbelievable. Wow. Women are incredible.

Wow. Wow. They're going to kick you out the manosphere, yeah. I'm just telling you. You're never going viral on the manisphere ever again. They are incredible, bro. They're just incredible. Now, if they don't have kids, whatever.

But, you know, like, if you don't have kids, if you don't have kids, you're a guy. You can not say that. You can't get her fucking love. He said if you don't have kids, you're just a guy with a vagina. That's crazy. You cannot say that. Why? That's so disrespectful.

What do you mean? Because there's a lot of reasons women can't have kids. There's women that just can't have them, you know? You could have died. You could adopt. You could adopt. You could adopt. Yeah, you could adopt.

You want kids to have them? I want a family, but I'm not going to, I don't want a kid just. What you want dogs? I'm saying, like, I don't have a passion to have kids. like that. I want the whole thing. You know what women without kids are? You ever see like a seven-foot black dude working at Whole Food? Oh, shit. God.

Man. He's great. You're looking at that. You look at that dude. He's putting the three wishes cereal back in the aisle. You're like, man, you know what you could have been? I've never seen somebody choose violence like this. We live in a country that has two mass shootings a year.

I mean, a week. A day. Why am I choose from violence, bro? Jesus Christ. You know how hard it was for us to get pregnant, bro. Exactly. So you should have some more sympathy. I have all the sympathy in the world.

I'm talking about their women who don't want to have kids. I'm not talking about the ones that do it. It was so hard for us to get pregnant. It was heartbreaking. I couldn't breathe for the years. Oh, you're talking about for the ones who don't want to have them. I hear women all the time going like, I don't want to have kids. I don't even want to do it.

I don't want kids. And it's just like, you seven foot with a handle. I'm looking at Victor Weipanayana. You Victor Weepianana. Like how you working enough. Like how you working enough. Yeah, yeah. I'm not stuck like I know how to do things now.

Okay. I started like you're just shitting on women. No. I'm saying you victim and banning. But women who can have them and don't want them. It's crazy. You like, that's a waste of, I get with you. Okay.

It's your potential. You're spending fun. Yeah, but kids are a lot of sacrifice. Kids are a lot of sacrifice. That is not true. That is not true. That is not true. That is not true.

And that is that. We don't sacrifice. No, we do. we do. We're fathers. Are y'all carrying the kids? Thank you. Are we carrying them? What you mean? Thank you. You know how much he sacrificed with dieting and everything else being pregnant? Yes, but once the kid get in, daddy is right there.

You miss it. I'm not. I'm just not paying a no attention. You miss it. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I keep through your alley to dunk on her. She goes, of all the things that are about pregnancy. She goes, you know how much you sacrifice during pregnancy with diet. I don't know anything about a diet with pregnancy. The thing stopping her. I shouldn't have said, no. Could you stop? Oh, they got a truce of some shit like that again.

It must be. You got a truth. No, I just don't have this. This is a sensitive subject for women. It's a bit of subject. How are you going to tell me to chill out? You know how difficult it was for us. Exactly.

So you should have more sympathy. But you didn't just shit on all fathers, though. You shit on all fathers. You don't know what we go through. What do y'all go through? You know exactly what I went through. Let me know. I was the reason why we couldn't get pregnant.

Let me know. When she's finally pregnant, what did you go through? Now, that's a very unique experience. Yeah. Because Andrew is the guy who thought he couldn't get a woman pregnant. So that must make you feel fucked up. Okay. Yeah.

Oh, yes. Okay, but I'm saying what did you sacrifice? No, because what did you sacrifice? And what did you sacrifice me? And. Remember that joke you made? Remember that joke you made? Remember that joke you made a month ago?

You should feel bad about that. I don't. I know you don't. I know you don't. I know you don't. I know you know. But you know what I know? I'm so happy for you.

Dad, he's home. I'm so happy for you. What's the next line of that? I don't know other matter. Daddy's home, man. You know what I mean? Daddy's own, though. But fathers have a very important role, Taylor.

Don't shit on our role. Hey, do you have it. You have a daddy. I'm literally asking you. What did you guys sacrifice? You guys still didn't answer the question. Yo, Taylor's friend got a crush on you, by the way. I don't care.

He knows. I'm a married man, very faithful. That's fire. You know, you met her or something? Say what? I was on the phone with her and she's like, tell her I said, Happy Valentine's Day, baby.

She's been hating on you. She don't even never tell me this no more. She used to tell me. Now she don't even tell me no more. Tell me, man. He was a gay guy, though. She's respecting your wife. Yeah, she has respect your wife, bro.

I want to know I'm still alive. The old man wouldn't know he still got it. How old is she? As a guy. Man, shut up, man. And she got the TWG? Is she, is she? Yeah, she tucked it.

She tucked it. She trans? What's going on, yo? Yeah, what the fuck is happening, man? You know, can tell me... You ain't never told me no gay friend of yours had a crush on me. Turn the heat off.

Please send a message. You never said that to me. Is this flame number? Stop it. Jesus Christ. They're Dr. Umar, y'all. Dr. Umar, salute to the goat. Man, man, I'm happy for you, man.

I really, really am, man. And all seriousness, thank you guys very much. And it's awesome. It's just incredible. I'm telling you, the best is yet to come. You just, you have no idea how much your life is about to change. You have no idea how it is just raising young girls. And I feel like that's the ultimate gift.

I really do. I feel like as a man, it says a lot about you when God blesses you with girls. Because it says how, to me, this is how God feels about you. I trust you with this divine, feminine energy. I really feel that way. I really feel that way. God trusts us, yeah. Men that have girls, incredible human beings.

And they're always usually the guys who were probably the worst. You know what I mean? Or who people thought was the worst. But actually, we're probably the best two women. No, you got to write the first time. You got to write the first time. Speak on that shit. Y'all be worried about rhetoric and shit like that.

You don't want to stun at all. You said what? You don't want a son at all. I don't have no choice. I'm good. I'm done. We're done with four. Yeah, but you went that fourth one.

No, of course you probably wanted to have it. Yeah, but it all boils down to what did God give you that you actually need. Your wants don't even matter. You know what I'm saying? I had a moment with my wife. Damn, you let one rip. The gas ain't changed since being a father. Did you hear that?

My daughter farts like me. She rips. She likes to fart when she's feeding. I pray she don't have your guess. She does already. We know it already. 100% we know it already. No.

She's feeding and she's a bang. Nah, man. A woman, a woman, your daughter farting like you? Nah, she can't. She does. No, man. Just like me. No, no, no.

No, shit, that's how she farts. It's loud. And don't stop sucking titty while she does it. Unaffected. Do you do that too? Have you ever done that? farted while sucking a titty? Probably.

Andrew fart's so crazy, I think he needs a diaper. Yeah. I really do. I think that y'all need to have adult diapers in the house as well. This is insane. Does it make you want to move? Move like where?

Out of the go. No, but I do see like we have a baby nurse somebody who's helping us, right? Which is like incredibly helpful. It's amazing. Like, lifesaver. They know all the things about babies. They know

they can teach you how to do every little thing. Like, you know, my mom obviously has to take care of my dad. He's got dementia and, you know, Emma's family is on the West Coast and also Emma's mom needs to be taken care of. So, like, they couldn't just step in like a lot of families do. But we have this baby nurse and she's incredible. She knows everything. And it just takes, it alleviates that anxiety that you're going to do something that's

going to kill your own kid. Because that's the only thing I was thinking about the second they handed us the kid. I was like, well, what if she chokes while she's, well, well, I'm, sleeping and she's on her back. So I wouldn't sleep and I just stare it. For like two days I would just stare at this. I love it. But eventually you've got to get some sleep. So just

having the baby nurse to be like, it's okay. They know how to spit up, even if they're on their back. Like, I don't know. The best advice I can give you is spend as much time with her as possible early. Yeah. Because you want that bond. You want to have that bond. Because before you know it, she'll be five.

You know what I mean? It's crazy. And it's like if you don't have that bond, reestablishing, are trying to establish a bond after they get to a certain age. It's a little bit difficult. Yeah. So just spend as much time with her as possible, man. That's what I'm trying to do. Like, even organizing the schedule, like, I want to be home every single day by 6 o'clock.

Dope. So we have dinner together. Dope. Every single day. Like, my parents were able to do that with me. My mom worked at night. My dad worked during the day. At 6, we all, or 5.30, we're all having dinner.

Dope. For like an hour. Dope. And it's crazy. Like, that one hour? probably changed my life. Hell yeah. Yeah.

Hell yeah. So just being there for that, that'd be cool. All right, well, let's run through these topics then. Yeah, let's do it. It's getting too close to that time. Taylor Swift,

what does that shit say, Taylor? We need some AC in here, guys. All memes necessary. Here's the thing I don't like about the Taylor Swift situation. I don't like that she's getting all of this credit for making the Super Bowl ratings go through the roof.

Wait, hold on, hold on. Why can we not give this girl any credit? Not all of it, right? Not all of it. All. It ain't even just Usher, though. Can I tell you something real quick? I'm sorry to interrupt and I told us on Al to Alder and Flagrant.

Like, Usher's performance made me believe that racism exists. Talk to me. I went on Twitter and I was like, unbelievable. I go Usher, unbelievable king or something like that. Mad replies go, yo, that was trash. This was the worst. And I'm like... Why do you think it's racism?

That's the only way you could look at that performance. and be critical of it is if you hated black people. I'm with you. Am I wrong here? I read one of the reviews and one of the major publications. I think it was deadline.

I thought that was the most bullshit review I ever read. It sounded like the only reason that he wrote the review that way is because Taylor Swift was at the Super Bowl and he wanted a Taylor Swift halftime performance. Like literally, if you read it, because nothing he said made sense.

Yeah, that was the Usher Fizzles and Super Bowl halftime show. No. despite Alicia Keys and guest stars galore. I'm like, what was his name? Domini? I'm not going to say he's racist, but it was just a ridiculous review,

and it was early. He wrote this shit, like, hours after performance. I watched this performance, and the first thing I said to myself, because I was on the plane coming back from California, I was like, but that might have been the greatest halftime performance

I've ever seen in my life. Can I tell you, and obviously I'm fucking being hyperbolic with the racist. I don't know if the guy's racist, but like, it was so undeniably brilliant. Now here's the thing. My wife, right? Younger than me, she was curious as to why Usher was even selected.

She's like, why is Usher? Just let me take you down this journey. She's like, why is Usher even selected? I don't know. Do people really like his music like that? I'm like, this might be a generational thing. Like he's the man and he's incredible at performing. She's like, really do people like his stuff like that?

So she goes into it. But here's the thing, she goes into it. Skeptical doesn't really listen to that much Usher and is like, I don't know why he's even. doing the halftime show. At the end of the halftime show, she turns from me, she goes, that was the greatest halftime performance

I've ever seen in my life. How many songs did she realize she knew? And she's singing along. That's right. That's right. That's right. And some of them he left off the table. Bro, do you know what one she was singing?

Daddy's coming. Look at the first line of this review. With Taylor Swift and the 65,000 strong crowd at Sunday Super Bowl in Vegas, Usher couldn't have had any illusions about who had the greatest star power. What the fuck that got to do with anything? And the media's attention as he-

People went a hot take. Y'all want some attention for your goofy-ass little article so you're going to hate on something great. That's all motherfuckers do. It made no sense. Hate on greatness. The guy actually sang. And if he didn't sing, you know what they would have said?

He lip-sanked the whole fucking time. That's right. That's right. He actually- He fucking skated. He came out on the skates. Stop. He bought the script of polls. Stop.

He sang without TV tracks. Stop it. Can I tell you out the, what people that may not like it? Because this based off what Jess was saying. It was a party theme, clearly. But I think people like the structure look. Like, think about Rihanna's structure look, Beyonce's structure. It was structured.

No, but like everyone kind of was doing their own thing. This guy had a carnival. This guy had the fucking guy doing backflips in the air. But people like the structure, they can move along with it. That's not usher. You can't even compare Rihanna. I'm not. No, no, I'm not even the type of showmen or show one.

woman that Usher is. Usher is a showman. This is what reviews I heard from several people, though. They're ridiculous. And it lets me know we don't know what entertainment is anymore. We're so used to basic shit, and we don't even know what greatness looks like. This is no offense to

Rihanna, but like you can't even compare. It's not even close. I have a lot of respect for Rihanna. Her music is amazing. You listen to it. It's awesome. But you cannot compare Rihanna to us. At all. In terms of a light of performance. I'm telling you what people like to see.

That's all I'm saying, like with the dancers. I'm telling you. Greatest half-time. You know how you know she's wrong? Because all the greatest halftime shows had mad dances. Go back and watch Michael Jackson's performance. Go back and watch Beyonce in 2013. Do you get what I'm trying to say?

I'm not saying it's me. I'm literally not saying I feel this way. I'm literally saying from what I've discussed other people. Those other people suck. They're silly. You're talking about Jess hilarious? I didn't just say that. Jess was a show.

Yes, he did. Just opinion. She likes it, but she said she preferred Rehantz, because she liked the structure of how it looked like the dancers look. Man, get out of here. Jesse lion yourself. Top five greatest halftime performances I've ever seen

in no particular order. Michael Jackson, the first Beyonce one, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Prince and goddamn Usher. And it's hard to say Usher wasn't the best one I've ever seen. It was... I'm not going to lie to that.

Unbelievable. Beyonce had two. The first one she did when she came out with Destiny's Child when she jumped out of the stage, she killed that shit. And see, I went back and watched a lot of them, right? You're going to about Katie Perry. Katie Perry was cool. I like Katie Perry.

But Prince was so dope, but he didn't have any, he don't dance. What set Prince's performance over the top? Musicality. He started playing Purple Rain, and it started raining in Miami, guys. Like, it wasn't no effect. Oh, like naturally. naturally started raining. So you're like, oh shit!

That's what took me over the top with Prince. But production-wise, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Usher, it's not even close, bro. Michael fucking had Michael Jackson stunt doubles. Remember, you know how they got the big screens in the stadium? Mind you, this is 93 or some shit like that. That was incredible.

Exactly. So think about watching this in 93. He's standing in the screen. He shoots out. He's standing on top of the big screen in the stadium. They know what you're saying right now? They use the microwave. I've seen it.

Okay, okay. Yeah, I mean, it was amazing. He looks this way, looks that way, then jumps out. Then another one jumps out on the other screen. Then he just pops up on stage. I mean, of course, it's all stunt doubles. But then he pops up on stage. He just stands there for three minutes.

That was fine. He literally just stood there for three minutes. Did nothing. Start the music until I take my glasses off. I take my fucking shades off. Can you imagine doing that as a stand-up? How much time I got? You know what I mean?

15 minutes, you got there and just staying there for three and the crowd's losing their shit. Come on, man. Usher Raymond the 4th. To me, he had the best half-time show, man. That's his personal opinion. It was his confidence. He went up there and it was like he was supposed to be there.

There wasn't a bit of imposter syndrome. Nothing. You're looking at a guy who was just soaking it all in. It was remarkable. And I couldn't believe that there were people that were already so quick to hate. I randomly saw Usher four times last year, yeah. Randomly.

I did. Randomly. Because he performed the night he performed the night I did the Roots Picnic. I saw him at the I heart radio living black thing.

I feel like I saw him somewhere else and then I saw I went to his Vegas residency. And it just made me realize he is the greatest showman of our generation. Of our generation.

I'm born in 19778. I'm 45. There's nobody I think is a better showman who puts on a better showman who puts on a better stage performance than Usher Raymond the fourth. The only other person to me that's Taylor. Close.

No. Beyonce. Guys. Taylor don't dance like them. Didn't we already settle this? Yeah, but Taylor, we really need. But she's so good at what she does in the stage show is so good and so,

it's choreographed so well that she doesn't even need to dance. Mind you, I've never seen it. So I can't even see it. And she also plays the instruments. The instruments. If you say performer, then you got to give it to. Oh, sure, Beyonce. How many instruments?

I don't know. Just guitar? Maybe more piano, too. And the only reason I feel like it's disrespectful that they keep giving Taylor all of this credit is this was a great Super Bowl, y'all. I mean, you had one of the greatest franchises in the history of the NFL that's in San Francisco 49

is they won five Super Bowls. If they were the one this year, it would have been six. I mean, they're a storage franchise. From Joe Montana to Steve Young, they're fantastic. They're always in the media. mix, people love the 49ers. You got the Kansas City Chiefs, who are a new goddamn dynasty.

You know what I mean? Been to the Super Bowl four out of the last five fucking years. Patrick Mahomes is the biggest star in the NFL is not even fucking close. That right there is going to get you 100 plus million people. Then you add Usher to the mix. You add the star of Travis Kelsey, his relationship with Taylor Swift. Of course you're going to have a combination that leads to over 200 plus million people you're not how many...

200 plus million people watch the fucking Super Bowl of shit. That's insane. Incredible. That's insane. It was 204 is the actual number. But for everybody just to give the credit to Taylor, that's kind of silly, y'all.

I think that's what... I think I'm realizing now, it's like that's what people... People don't hate Taylor. I think they resent her fans because her fans will say things like Taylor is the reason why the Super Bowl was successful. That's right.

Yada, yeah, yeah. That being said, Taylor ends up getting residual hate because of the things her fans, some of her fans say, which is completely unfair because the girl is literally just being a good girlfriend. She had four sold out shows in Tokyo, flies herself and her team to go be at her boyfriend's Super Bowl game. Like, it's a great thing to do. She's being a great girlfriend.

She's there. She's cheering. She's supporting. If she's not cheering, people are going to go, look, she's bored. If she cheers too much, they go, oh, she's faking it. Like, the poor girl can't do anything right. She seems very authentic. I mean, she had ice spice in her suite.

You know what I mean? Looking out for the migrant. So he was like, you know, no, for real, she's from the Bronx. Like, you know what I mean? Like, she didn't have to do that. That's facts. That right, I guarantee you so many people Googled who the fuck Ice Spice was. Like, she made Ice Spice stock go through the roof.

Just having Ice Spice up there with her and fucking Katie Perry and Blake Lively and Captain Marvel. You know what I'm saying? Like, that shit was incredible. Captain Marvel was there? I don't freaking, though. I don't know The only person I know I know Ice Spice

and I know Blake Lively was there but some reason I thought Blake Lively was a guy all this time Yeah Did you really? I did You didn't think Blake Lively was a guy? No

I don't know what is she? What is she? What is she? That was Gossip girl, right? Yeah Gossip girl? Yeah Well, salute to Blake Lively, man.

That was also too. Beyonce. Beyonce's commercial during the Super Bowl for Verizon and she got paid $30 million to do but it wasn't just a commercial. $30,000. $30,000 million.

And it wasn't just a commercial. It was an advertisement for two new songs that she released. So, you know, it was a lot going on. Like, this was a big, big Super Bowl. It was almost like all of these companies and everybody knew, this is going to be a big one. We got to really, really put on. You know what I mean?

The fact that Beyonce, I'm going to use this moment to put out two new songs. Come on, man. I heard Beyonce is going to do the spear in Vegas. I don't believe that. That's the rumor. Yeah, I heard that too. That's hard for me to believe. He just came off a world tour.

Like, why would you go to the spear in Vegas? Because you don't got to move. You just sit there and make crazy money, just hang out in Las Vegas. Can they afford that, though? Who's they? The spear. Can the spear afford that? I'm serious.

The spear. Whatever the fuck? Can the spear? Can the ship from Wakanda that they use to kill people afford that? Yeah, they can afford. I don't know, bro. They can. because the idea is that you don't have to do any,

you're not paying for, you pay for production once, and then it just stays there in that location. How much do you pay for Beyonce? As much as you want. I mean, there's 18,000 people. It's an arena every single night. Yeah.

And you can pay extra because people want to go to the sphere. She's not going to do every night, though. Well, she'll do X amount of nights a week, for sure. Yeah, because Usher did. I think Usher was doing Thursday, Saturday. But he didn't do the sphere. No, he wasn't doing the spear.

He was doing the, I think it was the MGM Grand Arena. I don't see it, bro. I mean, it would be so amazing. The only thing that I would... Yeah. Because she's still viable. And I'm not saying that Usher wasn't, but she's still out here doing world tours.

Yeah, but this is different. The Spear doesn't mean that... This is not like a time in Vegas where you're done. And Adele was... Adele. She had her Vegas residency. Oh, she did? Yeah.

Oh, I didn't know that. I mean, I don't put Adele and Bionthe on the same level, but... I mean, she's doing world tours, arena tours. She's just like... I guess it was sell out every night. Maybe it was for a limited time. If it was like a two or three month residence. Yeah.

Yeah, something like that. I can see that. I can't see her doing like a whole year someplace. I mean, yeah, because she did that for, she, she did Atlantic City, where she opened up the Ocean Casino in Atlantic City a couple, a few years ago when they opened, had their grand opening. Maybe. I mean, of course you go see it.

I just feel like, yeah, going to Vegas and into a residency. It isn't what it used to be. It used to signal the end of your career. Now I feel like people are going there and they're having residencies, and it's just an amazing resurgence. Like, look at what the Usher residency did. It's like, now everybody's like, oh my God, I need to see Usher. Look how incredible this show. He got his flowers.

Like, that's what it did. It made everybody realize how dope Usher was. Like, like, that little microcosm that you saw the Super Bowl for 13 minutes, he literally does that for two and a half, damn there, three hours. Unbelievable. At his residency. And it's way more incredible than that. And he had little elements of the show.

That's why him doing it in Vegas just made all the sense in the world. I don't think there's ever been a more popular residency than Usher in Las Vegas. I mean, especially not with the type of attention it was getting. That's right. It became a meme. Like, who's the person that's going to get their wife sung to at the Usher show? Usher's a wild boy.

He don't never disappoint. Like, we did not think Usher would find a way to do something to somebody's wife at the Super Bowl. He did it, though. He found a goddamn way. But he doesn't, it doesn't feel disrespectful. Well, I mean, it's Usher and you're kind of expect it. Yeah. You know what I mean?

What was that old shit back in the day? Remember that old school shit? It was like, oh, base god. What did you say to them kids? You said to say the base god or whatever? No. Little B. Wasn't a little Boosy to base god.

No, that there's... Little B who needs to be like base god, fuck my bitch, bro. Oh, I faintly remember that. It was something like that. Wasn't his name Boosie or... No, it's a little B. Oh, Lil B. A little B. A little B to base God. But it's just like, it's kind of like that with us shit.

He's missed to steal your girl. It's kind of like a fly thing. Like, yeah, yeah, Usher, do your thing. That's Tray. That's not true. Oh, yeah, who's Usher? He's not Mrs. Stittier girl. What's us? Don't leave your girl around me.

Mr. Don't leave your girl around me. You know what I'm saying? For real. So it's just kind of like cool. Like, yeah, usher do your thing, you know? And they got a song called My Boo, yo. They're performing, guys. And with all due respect, Alicia still got it.

Yeah, it's beautiful. With all due respect. No, you better say that because I'm telling you, Swiss ain't playing with you. Listen. That'll be beak to beak. Y'all'll be beak to beak somewhere. You don't want them problems. This is we're all due respect.

I just want to say beautiful. I should respond to them. I should say I came to put on a show. You feel me? Listen, he's the greatest showman, show person of our generation. To me, it's him and Beyonce. I'm just talking about as far as being on stage performing. I put Chris Brown in the mix, too.

Isn't that funny? Am I the only person? the chuckled at this part. Why is it? He like runs off. It's so funny how he runs off. That's smart. He only got 15 minutes. No, but he's looking at hand action. Damn, why is it?

That's all good, see? That's dope, no. Every little detail. It's so sassy. He didn't just walk off. He danced off, man. Shout out to the fucking goat, man. Usher Raymond the fall. Even when he's in the background, you focus on him.

That's star power. He is a superstar. This generation doesn't even know what superstars are anymore. I was reading something the other day somebody posted about how they were talking to an ANR and they were saying, you think we'll ever have traditional superstars?

Because it was after the Super Bowl performance. Will we ever have any more superstars on this level? And the guy said, the ANR said, no. The way the game is right now, the accessibility to celebrities, no. There's no more ushers. There's no more Taylor Swift.

There's no more Beyonce's. It's not happening. Who? What's the last superstar we've had in the last five years? Doja Cat is a superstar. Yeah, but you're talking about people that don't respond. You're not going to get no reaction. No, it ain't that.

I think Doge Cat is a star. I don't think she's a superstar yet. It's a difference. It's different. Superstars. There's stars and there's superstars. She can do it all. Listen, I'm fucking some 40-year-old dude.

I'm not even listening to Doja Cat like that, but she can do it. doing what? I'm not even listening to Doja Cat like that. I'm a 4-year-old dude. You know what I'm saying? I heard he's a 40-year-old dude. He's not listening to Doja-Lagat. That's what I heard, too.

I'm like, I got gay ears, so maybe I just... I'm saying, what? I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Okay. I am fucking 40-year-old dudes. What? What? I don't know what he's trying to say.

What do you guys keep hearing? I don't know, bro. Jesus Christ I'm a 40-old guy What the fuck do I know about Doja Geh? But she has all the skills Like she can rap, she can sing, she could dance She's just so charismatic

She's funny All of that used to make superstars And now? I just don't think they do anymore Just because the way the game is First of all, everybody thinks they're a star What about Cardi? I think Cardi's a star

I think she's a huge star What would make her a superstar? less accessibility, people having less access to her. An air of mystery. Ah, that's what does no longer exist. An air of mystery. That's not a question. Yeah, I don't think that that's there anymore.

You know what I mean? That's why I think the last generation of superstars was a decade ago. I think, I personally, I think Kendrick is a superstar. Wow, so interesting. I think Kendrick is a superstar. You just are valuing minimal. I think Drake, I think Drake, I think Drake is a superstar. Yeah, there's no.

Who acts like a Twitter nix. You know what I'm saying? I think he's a superstar who acts like the regular everyday Twitter influencer. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. You're saying it diminishes his star power being so relatable and accessible. I don't know if it's relatable. He's a superstar. I don't know if it's a superstar.

I don't know if it's a relateability as much as it is. People, I don't, everybody can't think they can be you. Yeah, you want some mystery. You want them to be aspirational. You don't want them to be just like you. Yeah. What about actors and actresses? There was a time where Johnny Depp was a superstar.

Sendea, a superstar? She's saying, Dendaya. She's not acting like that. Yeah, Zendaya might be a, I would say that's a star. Timothy Shalame. What about the rock? Rock is a superstar.

Yeah. Yeah, not even close. But he's old school. I don't count him. I'm talking about these new people. You're talking about next generation. I'm talking about this next generation. Yeah.

Zendaya's right there. Zendaya's a mystery. Yeah. But then she's like incredibly relatable. But also the way we look at Hollywood change. You don't look at movie stars like we used to. You know what I'm saying? You don't look at TV stars like you used to

because there's people that's online, social media, YouTube, doing their own sketches, and they're more popular than some of these people that's on television. Like, Drewski is more popular than probably every member of SNL, every Catholic member of SNL.

Every Catholic of SNL. 100%. Is there a CAFEMOMPEO that's as popular as Drewski? No. You know what I mean? Drewski's in the commercials, all of that shit. Like, there's commentators

that are more popular than correspondents on the daily show. You know what I'm saying? The game is changed. The game has changed. in such a way. Yeah. I just don't know if you can ever have a superstar.

Oh, yeah. But he's grandfather then. Oh, yeah, different generations. He took advantage of the Super Bowl. How? Like, dropping a commercial that he shot on his iPhone. Yeah, I didn't even see it. I didn't see this commercial either.

When was that out? It was just a quick 30-second commercial. It was straight to iPhone. What part of the game? I watched the whole game. I think it was around the second quarter. It was somewhere early. It worked for him.

It said he had $19 million in sales. I also saw him in a picture next to the Adidas CEO. It means nothing. I took a picture with him. You know what's sad about that picture? His caption. What was it? He was like, I offered him 20%.

I offered him 20% to get back, to do something. Like, read to get, pull up the caption, Taylor. Oh, to distribute or something like, yeah. Do you want to be free or not? Or not, yeah. He got guys like you're so fool. And it's so hilarious. No, no, no.

Like, do you want to be free or not? One minute you're celebrating all this freedom and its independence. Next moment, you're offering up 20%. Yep. I'm just getting at the point that you said he's done forever. The independent life. They never going to let him. You said he's done forever.

They never going to let him back in. That's your words. They haven't. They aren't. I mean, they might. It's getting closer. No. It's getting closer.

They bumped into each other in an airport or something like that. Why would he sit down and smile, take a picture? The CEO, Beditas has never even said anything bad about Kanye. He actually said some months ago that he didn't think Kanye believed any of the words that were coming out of his mouth. He said that months ago. I heard a good take about Kanye with that. Talk to me.

Russ said it. No, not Russ. Little Dickie said it. And Lil Dickie was like, I think, I don't think, he goes, I don't think Kanye believes those things.

I just think someone told Kanye that he can't speak about the Jews or he can't have these opinions. And his most important axiom in his life is to be, able to do whatever he wants. So once you tell him he can't do something, he's going to do it.

And that's the MAGA hat. That's speaking about the Jews. That's wearing skinny jeans. That's dressing in like a prep school, a white boy polo shit. We call that Dickhead momentum. It's like when you see somebody doing something like stop dickhead. Yeah. You stop.

Yeah. And he can't stop yourself. He's like, you can't tell me to stop. Now, I'm not saying it excuses it, right? But it does, you would hope that that's the reason, not that he looks up to Hitler and wants to get rid of all the Jews. But here the thing shows it's still a lack of emotional intelligence like a motherfucker. Yeah, he doesn't have.

You got a multi-billion dollar business that you burnt to the ground for tweets. Because somebody told you that you can't say something. Why say it? No, it's the, like what was the reason? A hundred people. Like, there was no reason to do it. It was just stupid. And then it's like, what was the, oh, what's the tweet, Taylor?

What's the tweet? You did all of this just to post with the CEO from Adidas and tweet things like, what did the tweet say? Just met the CEO of Adidas. Just bumped to him. Yeah, but he must have changed it because he had another caption that says something about 20%. Wow. I forgot. Click on that one.

Maybe. No, that's it. I don't, I don't, see if you can find it, but he said something about 20%. But my whole thing is like, why burn it to the ground just to be offering them to, 20% two years later two, three years later do you want to be free or not?

That's it? I agree with you. No, yeah. I agree with you. I'm just saying this looks like he's closer to get back in.

No. Everybody wants to be independent until they see what it takes and then they want a partnership real fucking fast. By the way, God, Adidas is not going to burn down their whole company

to be in business with Kanye West. There's no one. Okay? I know that I know that y'all think Kanye West Is the end-all be-all when it comes to Adidas? No, you know what's the end-all be-all when it comes to Adidas? Soccer.

Football. Soccer. Football. Football all around the world, okay? They are not shitting. See, look, I'm willing to give you guys a royalty, 20% of net profit. Adidas, I'm willing to give 20% of sales, not ownership, as a non-exclusive manufacturing and distribution partner.

Kanye, I am almost positive. You could have worked that deal out on your own. when your contract was up with Adidas. See, people like Kanye teach you young digital dickheads how to do things the wrong fucking ways. Because it's the truth. People see that shit and they think, you know what, that's how you do. They ignore this part.

I love war. No, no. People ignore this part, like what he was saying, asking Adidas when he was pulling a Kaepernick. Oh. Yes. Yeah, they just ignore it completely because it just doesn't go with the narrative. I mean, this is him begging Adidas to work with him.

Exactly. because he realized like, oh shit, I'm really fucked up on there. No companies and nobody want to deal with me. You know what I'm saying? He spoke about going, he was like two months away from being bankrupt. Think about that. I know. It's great.

Just think about that, yo. Already? That's what you. TMZ had just got him. He said, though, two months away from being bankrupt. Y'all got two months away from being bankrupt. Y'all got two better heroes. When you love your heroes, don't love them to the detriment of yourself

and be able to understand when they fucked up. But you don't think a brand's going to see that he made $20 million in a day and be like, uh, you know what? I might take the chance on him. Alex. No. Do you understand? You know there's some brands that are just about money. No. There's no brand that is going to ruin their company being in business with him at this moment. Do you understand that ADL in every Jewish organization said this guy caused hate crimes to go up around the world? What are you telling that? He's just like, what are we talking about? He's off his rocker. It's like if you're in,

have a business relationship with somebody, you need to be able to trust that they're going to execute on the terms of that deal. Yes. And the reality is he doesn't feel, I don't know, it doesn't seem like he's safe enough or trustworthy enough to do that. He's a liability. Yeah. Why would you want to be in business that just might wake up one day and just sitting out

a tweet? Unless you're desperate. If it's a company that's like going out of business and their last dick ditch effort is to give him a piece, then that's going to happen. You said last dick ever. You'd be hearing gay. No, bro. You're catching yourself a lot, bro.

What the fuck is going on, man? What'd you do this week here? bro. No, what did you do this weekend, bro? Amazing things. What'd you do this weekend? He was in West Hollywood, right? No, I wasn't. What'd you do? I did some amazing, amazing. Oh, yeah. You can't talk about the spiritual...

I went on a spiritual retreat, but I don't want to talk about it. You said you was going to talk about when you get back? Yeah, but you saw what I saw. What did you say? God is white? No. The crazy part is, Definitely not. Really?

Man, y'all better start treating black people with some respect. I feel sorry from some of y'all, boy. Tell me, tell me, tell me. Nope, nope. Oh, come on. Yo, how are you going to hold that back, bro? And you said it last week. So God is black?

I will just tell y'all that there are things out here. I don't even know, I can't even say things out here. There are things beyond these realms. that are absolutely positively real. That's what I would tell you. And why do you know that to be true? I just know it. I'll tell you all one day, just not right now.

It's too early, man. It's too fresh. Fresh. It's fresh. It's not taking it in. Take it up. I'm seriously. Like, really just, whoo.

Yeah, man. Yeah. Let's pay some bills, Taylor. Let's pay some bills. What do we got? Let's do it. What are you out here? All right, guys, we'll take a break for a second

Like I didn't even say we were pregnant until I think Emma was like six months and we basically were told like that's where the baby can live outside of the womb if, if anything goes wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, like that's the story that I've been, that I've been working on. And it's, it was a wild experience, man.

I want y'all to understand the history of black people in country music, and that's why you need to go out there and get my black country by Alice Randall, a journey through country music's black past, present, and future. Do you know Alice Randall is the first black woman that writes a number one record for a country singer? She wrote a song Patricia Yearwood called X, X, X, X's O's, O's, O's. Okay?

Okay. Did you hear Beyonce's record Shorts? I didn't even know that Beyonce had a

new record. Yeah, she put out a Super Bowl commercial and she released two records that same same night. It's a country album. Well, one of them is a country song. I don't think it's going to be a whole country album. She's trying to compete with Taylor, huh? Well, Remem says this is a collab. There goes Shoste. Saying the quiet part out loud again. She's trying to compete with Taylor. Let's just call it what it is.

She can't compete with the goats so she's going after after her genre of music to see if she can. What? The Taylor's going to do her favor and do song with her? A little charity work? Oh, no, I believe that. I absolutely believe Taylor and Beyonce are going to have a song together. Because if you look at the way they're putting out their albums, Beyonce's coming out like March 20-something,

and then Taylor's coming out like two weeks later. Like, they're absolutely positively going to have a song together. It would only make sense. Taylor is a new album that's going to come out. Yeah, she announced it at the, uh, at the, what the fuck was that? The Grammys. Yes, she announced at the Grammys. Salute the Killer Mike, too.

Let's go Mike. Winning three Grammys, man. The sweep. He won Best Rap Song, best rap performance, and best rap album of the year. Like I told y'all he was. The sweep!

I told y'all he was going to do that. The beauty of what Killer Mike did, it goes back to what we were talking about when it comes to the superstars and shit like that no more. Killer Mike is not on a label, y'all. Killer Mike spent a half a million dollars of his own money putting together this album. I was in the studio with him listening to music

way, way, way back when. First time I heard that album, I'm like, bro you're going to win a Grammy like he felt this way we all felt that when we first heard the project because if you know the Grammys man and you know the history of the Grammys you look at the kind of rap records that they reward

especially in more recent years Jesus Christ he just had one of those you know what I'm saying he just had one of those that shit made no sense just not like he fucking was acting like he was on a fucking virtual reality ride at fucking Universal Studio like I just cranked that soldier boy

Crink that fucking soldier boy. You crank those cheeks. God damn. I'm just waiting on the smell to hit. I know that shit. I didn't let that one smell. You ain't let that one smell? But shout out to Killer Mike, man.

You know what I mean? Spend half a million dollars of his own money and won three Grammys. You know, sales through the roof now because of the Grammys because everybody's fucking screaming the album and going to see who the hell Killer Mike is. And you're not going to sit here and tell me this was not a goddamn conspiracy. Yo, why did he get arrested?

Yeah, who the fuck knows? This is kind of argument with me. I have no idea. If you ask me, I think that they just did not want Killer Mike on the stage delivering some type of message. Because this is the pre-show. This didn't happen during the live broadcast. They didn't broadcast the motherfucking rap categories this year, just for no reason. Tell them what he said an interview.

Oh, well, when I gave them donkey a day for arresting Killer Mike, I said, man, how dope would it have been if Killer Mike If Jay-Z during his acceptance speech would have bought out killer Mike. Because Jay-Z was up there talking about the fact that, you know, they didn't broadcast the Rapp Awards in 88, so Fresh Princeton-Wil, I mean, Fresh Prince and Jadley, Jeff boycotted. He talked about it in 94 or 98 how they boycotted, he boycotted when he won. You smell it? Yes.

I did smell it. I don't smell it at all. I did shoot it in your direction. The fact that they didn't have the awards, the fact they didn't have the awards this year. Tom, man, you thought you were going to get away with it. You thought you were going to get away without some stink. The fact they didn't air the awards this year just made me think like, yo, it's got to be some type of conspiracy.

And Jay Z wanted to bring Mike up. I said that during Donkey today, but then Mike said today, that was the plan. Jay Z was going to bring him up on stage and then what happened? And concede his, he was, fuck, got arrested. Wait, I don't. So why do you get arrested? Does anybody during the pre-show or during, like, when did he get arrested?

Yeah, you got arrested during the pre-show? But does anybody, do anybody? No, why? Like, the pre-show was over. He did everything. Like, he took his pictures. He did his press and everything backstage. And at some point between the pre-show and the main show, he got arrested.

Oh. And the great part is, it's not even, this was a citizen's arrest. This wasn't even police who arrested him. He got detained by fucking security. I don't even know they could do that to you. The security of the building. Rap fell off, you. It's actually the most rapist shit ever.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You went three Grammys and they get arrested moments later. By a civil. By a civilian? By a civilian. You're supposed to be a rapper. Kill him.

Mr. Mina battery for a security guard altercation. I didn't know they could do that to you. I mean, I guess it makes sense, though, because they're out. I didn't either. Well, they're at an arena. You know what I'm saying?

It shouldn't be Sweden, though. It didn't happen to you at an arena, though, right? No, no, but it was just a security guard, and I ain't know that. Oh, the security guard put you in handcuffs. Yeah. You deserved it, though. You ain't even win no Grammys, bro.

I ain't mad at that. What else you got to say? He kind of deserved it, didn't you? Yeah, he did a little bit of an asshole out. I did 28 days, bro. You deserve that. No, you, you really did deserve that, bro. You deserve 30, yo.

Have some respect for another country. Like, if that country is racist, just let them be racist. Yeah, you want to fucking take a stain. You know what I mean? How dare you try to walk around like an equal? Exactly. You know what I mean? Like, don't give a fuck about you in Sweden?

Yeah. It's not America. I'll shopping ain't going over there for you. Yeah, it's just Sweden. A racist. nation. Take your fucking hell. They have racist rules. Okay. I should have called Trump, man. You should have. Trump wouldn't give a fuck.

Trump said that nigga was doing what? Keep him over there. He was drinking with whites? How dare he? Oh, yeah, let's do this. Let me hear this. Let me hear this plies up to. Let me hear this plies up to. This was interesting. Favorite rapper whose music I don't listen to? Just real quick. Can y'all help me figure out of something? When has America ever feared an old white man running this country? When? For the life with me, I thought at some point, that's the only person y'all wanted to run the country.

Now y'all want me to believe, oh, he's 80, oh, look, his memory is slipping. Oh, he's misspeaking. Oh, he's saying the wrong. Oh, he's being forgetful. Listen, I believe a lot of things. But y'all can't make me believe that's what y'all is scared of and that's what y'all feel. Now, that may be the subject you use in his age. But that's not what you're feeling, what you're scared of.

What you're feeling scared of is, because that's all y'all saying. Oh, you know if something happens to him, you know if he gets reelected and he can't do the next four years. Oh, you know if he dies, not scared and fearful of his age, but what you is scared and fearful of is his success. A person who's more qualified politically than the last person who just left off.

So I'm fine if you're saying, oh, as a president, he don't fulfill your knees. I'm cool with that. Like, I keep telling you who to vote for. But Miss me with this whole notion of, oh, he's, oh, he's losing. Miss McConnor ate at one year old and missed and died twice on the TV. Right in front of eye, ain't nobody told Miss McConnell to go home yet. Stay in there until you die, Mitch.

But y'all, admitted not that, oh, he's too old. He fell off a bye and said, I want to be here to. ride by us. That ain't a year old. That man still standing in front of that teleprongling reading all them big words way across the room.

I want to be able to do that. Hey, he can't read it bad at me. So I know he's reading the better 95% of the people online until he can't read that teleprongling or see it. They talk to me about that got to me he complimented to me

or any political pride. It ain't just him. I ain't never been to say nobody too old and they still can read that dollar problem way across the room and still can see it. Yeah. Thoughts. I mean,

is he paid or? Like the administration paying him? Like, what's the deal? It feels tiring doing that voice he does. Yeah. What's up with all that high-pitch stuff? I mean, the teeth are great. He's got great teeth.

I mean, the thing is, like, here's the thing I would say. But the point is horrible. It's not a horrible point. Yeah. But it's a lot more nuance to it. Number one thing I would say to him is he bought up Mitch McConnell and the fact that Mitch McConnell died.

We're also afraid of him. Yeah, but here's my thing. Mitch McConnell died twice on TV. Good point. Everybody has complained about him being too old. Nikki Haley, who's a Republican, was one of the first people who was like, yo, they need to have term limits on people that are, you know, in Congress. Because of people like Mitch McConnell.

I am completely for term limits. some completely for mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75. And I'm not saying that to be disrespectful. Here you have Mitch McConnell, who's done great service to the country. You have Diane Feinstein who had a great career. You've got Nancy Pelosi who's been there a long time. At what point do they get it's time to leave? They need to let a younger generation take over. We want to go and start working for our kids to make sure we have a strong national security, to make sure we have a stronger economic policy, to make sure that America is safe.

And we can't do that if these individuals refuse to give up power. This is not just a Republican or Democrat problem. This is a congressional problem. And they've got to know when to leave. And who else was it? Who else was it? Who else, Chris?

Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein. Finesd was the worst. She died, right? She did, but she was out of commission for probably a year or two. Well, they still kind of propped her right. Yeah, so Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, you know, they have been vocally talking about how those two are too old. Yeah, so people don't want them, yeah.

Yeah, the number two point I would say is, well, which one I want to go? The number two point I would say is in regards to Kamala, that is true, but they're saying that out loud. It's not a, as flies do it. Once again. It's not because she's black. It's because she sucks. Well, no, I think it's, I think it's, I think it is, that's why I agree. I think it is.

the fact that she's a woman and the fact that she's a woman of color. And the reason I say that is because there's no policy that Kamala Harris would get in the White House and do that every other Democrat has it done. It wouldn't be no different than the Obama. Wouldn't be no different than a Biden. Like so for people to say things like, Nikki Haley has also said this, but people to say things like, hey, you should be terrified of a Kamala Harris presidency. Like, she's a cop.

So Joe Biden's the author of 94 crime bill. Donald Trump let a coup in this country. Nobody says they're terrified of these people. I got a strong word to say, you should be terrified of a Kamala Harris presidency. Terrified? I don't think Kamala has done enough to gain the support of the American people.

Like, she just doesn't seem competent enough when she speaks on things, and then she hasn't been inspiring at all since she's been in office. That's not our fault. I don't think she's been inspiring. I think she's very competent, but she's very competent, but that's not our fault.

That's her fault. It's her job to inspire us to want her. to lead us. It's not our job to like make some justification or oh, we don't like her because no, no, no, no. You have the seat. Make me believe in you.

I agree. Like, she has, you ought to inspire people. She's more than competent. The job interview. You want the job? Convince me. Yeah. We're a boss. Yeah. She's more than competent, but I agree with you. She's not inspiring. And the thing about Biden that plies bought up, here's the thing. There's a real concern about his age, y'all.

Yeah. Like, there's a real concern about whether he is mentally fit and even physically fit at 80 plus years old to be the president. That's his fault for demonstrating a limited amount of cognitive ability at times when he's speaking. Because when people talk about Trump and they say, oh, Trump's four years younger than Biden, sure. He's way more useful. He's sharp. You know, even if he does forget shit and everything, it just acts. Here's the thing about being somebody like Trump.

When you don't give a fuck. It's amazing. And you say whatever you want, even when you do fuck up and say wild shit. It's funny. It just sounds wild. That's like Trump-Trumping. When Biden does it, it's like, oh, he's losing it. Also, Biden, you don't want to be honest to yourself.

You don't want to do this shit no more, bro. You want to go to Delaware, hang out on the beach, eat fucking vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. Yeah. You don't want to be president anymore. It's a ridiculous endeavor for a man your age. You have a limited amount of time left on this planet. Do you really want to spend it with half of the country fucking hating you? The other half of the country saying, yeah, you're too old, but it's the only thing that we got.

No, what are you fucking doing? You dedicate your life to politics. Go out to the pastor, enjoy whatever time you have left. It's absurd. I won't say about Plagher's point. I do think that if, and I've said this before, if President Biden had a different running mate. Yeah. If it was, it could be Gavin Newsom, it could be Shapiro from fucking.

People would vote from them because they assume. Absolutely. So there is something to do that. But Kamala is not inspiring enough for us to trust it. It's just simple as that. She could have been inspiring. There's a guy named Barack Obama who was pretty goddamn inspiring. Also happened to be half black.

So it's not being half black is the issue. It's not being a woman. It's just her lack of inspiration. She wasn't. So far, maybe she still has it in her. But up to this point, she's not been good enough. Yeah, I agree with you. I do think she has an inner, but it's just a matter of,

do you want to turn it on? Do you turn up in a moment like this, right? In a moment like this shows where they're telling us that democracy is at stake, right? Like in a moment like this, do you turn off the traditional politician shit and turn on that inspiring thing that we, that I feel like she has? I think if she wants it, she's got to do it now. You got to do it now because it's not just about this year. It's about the rest. It's about the rest of your political career.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I think Biden wants to stay in office, so he still has political power to help shield his son because that stuff doesn't look good. And I think that's the only reason why he's... That's a great point. Man, Hunter should be running.

Yeah, Hunter is the hero of America needs. Tell him, Chris. Chris. He was the goat. He's a rock star. He is a red. That's a super hot. That's a super hot.

He doesn't give a fuck. Don't give a fuck. I like it. He sounds like the best of Democrats got to offer right now. Democrats need to shake some shit up. Yes, they need to be cleaning Hunter up and saying this is our guy. You know what I'm saying? When he went to that hearing, man, that hearing that was for him, and he went there

and made all of those Republicans lose their shit. And when he was leaving and the guy kept asking him over and over what kind of crack he smokes and he didn't rattle him, I was like, you know what? This guy might be the man for the job. Come on, man. Come on, man. Biden, 2024. Come on.

Come on, man. That's fire. Come on. Now, you need to step up. Step in a daddy's shoe. Come on, man. Hunter would have what it takes to go up against Trump in the debate.

Because Hunter is a wilder boy. Go look at Hunter's laptop. Oh, yeah. And look at this shit. Hunter was saying to people. Hunter was using the air. Hunter's a wild boy. The political star y'all want is right there.

Right there. Okay. Think about where America is right now. We're such an insurious country. No, you know what I'm saying? We don't give a fuck about, you know, whether or not you really got experience and credibility and all that. Are you entertaining? Or not.

Can you win? What wins now is a culture, pop culture. Crack smoking. Come on, man. Come on a gun. He got guns. This guy is, you don't pay the law. You think Trump don't get a fuck about the law?

Hunter don't give a fuck about the law. Biden. President Biden should be. leaning in the hunter, bro. Bro, he would be shaking in his motherfucking boots, Trump. What's his slogan? He just said it. What?

What did you say to hooker poking? Crack smoking, hooker poking. Crack smoking, hook or poking. Son of an old rusty gun. No. We need one more thing. It has to be graded. Crack smoking.

Hooker poking. What else did he do? Oh, crack smoking. Hook or poking. Blog fire stoking. Too long? What is blog fire? I don't know.

I was just like, you know, stoking the flames of... But what about his merch? Huh? His merch is going to be. Clint. You got to work Ukraine in there or something. Oh, yeah, yeah. Didn't he also have sex with his white, his dead brother's wife?

Bam. He had sex with a dead brother's wife? Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Son, being a good brother. Yo, you crazy. I'm out.

I'm out. What you mean? I'm a good brother. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. You keep it in a family. Say, everybody.

I'm out. I'm going. Good brother. I'm going to my wife who just gave birth. Let's do some ask you. I got to go. I got to go. That's all right.

Love you guys. My guy. Let's do some asking idiots, y'all. I'm serious about the Hunter Biden thing, though. And I do really believe that Kamala can still inspire people. She just has to turn it on. I think Kamala has the charisma. I think she has the competency.

Here's what I would like to see. I would like to see Kamala Harris challenging. all of these people who have something to say about Joe in conservative media. I would like to see her challenging all of these people who have something to say in conservative right-wing media about her in the administration. I think Kamala should be going on Fox News. Back in the day, President Obama would go on O'Reilly Factor. Oh, really?

Yes. I don't know. Yeah, President Obama would go on O'Reilly Factor. Fucking John Stewart, Stouthert, he's back. John Stewart would literally go on O'Reilly Factor. I mean, he's not a politician, but he was still somebody who was left leading, but he would go on there and challenge them. Kamala would run circles around them. Go on Fox News.

Like, go there, go talk directly to that audience because now they can't misconstrue anything that you say. Like if you're, if you're Kamala has right now when you say something in the news, Fox News takes that sound bite, they put it on, the right wing outlets take that sound bite, and they flip it in and bounce it the way they want to flip it and bounce it. If you Kamala Harris, you know what I'm saying, you go on there, talk directly to them and that audience, and make it. Maybe just maybe that audience starts to be like, she's not bad. And that goes back to the, I think everyone's strongest moment for her was in the debate when she was aggressive with Biden. With Biden. So she needs to showcase that part of her personality, right? Like, and go back and watch the Pence debate.

The pencil. She did. Did she do? Yeah. And go back and watch her when she used to be in the Senate and how she used to be spinning the fuck out of those people in the Senate. Like she used to be prosecuting the shit out of those folks. And why is she holding back? That's my point.

I think they're forcing her to because they don't want her to outshine Biden. Because right now, everyone's already asking why is Biden running? And so if she looks competent and she's like, looks like she's capable of doing a job, the people are going to be like, yo, you should just run. If anybody in the Biden administration thinks that they're idiots, and I'm going to tell you why they're idiots. I think the person is Biden. Yeah, well, Biden's an idiot. And the reason Biden's an idiot if he thinks that is because Vice President Kamala Harris,

if she does that, she instills confidence in people to say, you know what? I'm going to go out there and vote for President Biden because if something does happen to President Biden, at least we know that we got a great runner up, somebody who actually needs to be president anyway. That's a good point. So why are you holding back? Like, take your gun off safety, let them motherfucking shots ring out right now. Now is the time if democracy is truly on the brink in November.

Because, you know, I feel like Biden needs all the help he can get. They should be running the Biden-Harris ticket. But more importantly, she needs to be on these conservative outlets. Go on Fox News. Go on Hannity. You know what Gavin Newsom is becoming the apple of the Democratic Party's eye? Because he went on Fox. He goes on Fox.

He did a whole debate on Fox against Ron DeSantis with Sean Hannity moderating. He goes on Fox and he talks to them. But there's a whole different side of America starting to pay attention and be like, he's not bad he's not he's not he's not a bad he's not a bad guy so she should be doing the same thing if you ask me so plies wasn't wrong I don't want y'all to think that I believe plies is wrong

I just believe that a lot of the things he said are these aren't they're not even quiet parts like when he did this about Kamala ain't nobody doing this they're literally saying that we should be terrified of a Kamala Harris presidency Nicky Healey's exact quote was There's going to be, we can insert this too. There's going to be a female president.

He's going to be me or Kamala Harris, and we should be terrified of a Kamala Harris presidency. Well, I think, first of all, I was speaking a hard truth that we all know Joe Biden thinks that he's going to run and win this election, and then he's going to hand it off to a president Kamala Harris, which should scare all of us. They're saying that out loud. As far as Mitch McConnell and them, people are always calling for them to step down. Nikki Haley, once again, has done that, done that too. And as far as Biden, there is a legitimate concern about his age. and his mental competency.

I think all of those things can be true. So it's not just as cutting dry as ain't nobody concerned about his mental health. Ain't nobody concerned about the fact that he's old. They're just worried about Kamala. It's a little bit. I feel like John Stewart just broke it down perfectly this Monday. We have two candidates who are chronologically outside the norm of anyone who has run for the presidency in this country, in the history of this country. They are the oldest people ever to run for president, breaking by only four years the record that they set!

Time they ran! At the age, they are objectively old. They're at the age. There are no more age-related milestones to hit. They got the RRP card. They've got Social Security. They've got their movie discounts. There is no, oh, wait till you hit 88, you get to drink and drive.

No! He did. I agree with John Stewart on one thing, though. Wait, disagree or agree? I disagree with him on one thing. He said that regardless of who gets in the White House, the country will continue. Yes, that's how do you disagree with that? Ha!

You should read Project 25. Why wouldn't it continue? What do you mean, though, then, if I continue? Democracy is we know it won't continue. I agree with that. Democracy is we know it will not continue. Okay, that's still too vague. What do you mean?

Meaning if Trump gets reelected, he now knows that he can essentially get away with anything. Anything. And he'll create a scenario or a situation where, I mean, you don't have to imagine what it looks like. You look at other countries that are in constant state of turmoil. Somebody gets in power. They say the judiciary isn't doing that.

The Senate isn't doing that. I have to declare martial law. I have to declare a state of emergency. I have to take overpower for X amount of time. And then once you cross that line, you can't pull it back in. And that's what he'll do. He'll try it and he'll probably get away with it

because he's already tried it and he got away with it. A million times. Yeah, he didn't even go to jail, bro. You know, like, I was thinking just the other day, man. Like, think about how many cops are on the wall, on the mall in Washington, D.C. Since 9-11. How much security is there?

How much of a presence there is? These guys marched right in there. It's over. I think about that all the time, man. There was an attempted coup of this country on January 6th. Right. And nobody gives a fuck. Like, we act like that's...

And he's let it. Yes. Like, we act like that's some normal shit that happened in America. And people have the nerve, say what he won't do. Like they call it with Trump derangement syndrome, like we're making this shit up. Like, even that shit he said

about NATO to me the other day should have been front page news everywhere, Chris. Right, right. Like, he literally said, I'm going to let Russia have at it. Fuck with, fuck it. World War III, we can get it popping. Go ahead, do your thing. One of the heads of the country stood up and said, does that mean that if we don't pay the bills, that

you're not going to protect us? I said, that's exactly what it means. Exactly. I'm not going to protect you. And we got our allies to pay their fair share and bringing in over $400 billion to NATO. They weren't paying their bills. You've been reading about it. I've been saying, look, if they're not going to pay,

we're not going to protect, okay? And everybody's just like, okay, John Stewart's on the Daily Show. Usher was at the Super. Like, it's just nothing. Wow. So, you know, y'all can take the dictator for a day comments as a joke, and y'all can look at the cool

like it was just a bunch of white people while in the spring break in Daytona, but it's, you know, you don't get what you asked for. You think, though, people are just living too much in the moment, though? Like, they're not looking into the future how you're doing.

No, absolutely. They don't give a fuck. They really just don't give a fuck. Like, as long as they got this, they'll stay in their virtual reality forever. Now they got some fucking glasses and shit. They don't give a fuck. They don't even, you don't even know what in America like that would look like

simply because you just don't think could ever happen in America. Right. Over the last, since 2016, I've seen, like, at least 10 things that I never thought I would see in America happen. Easy. It's like, if I had to, like,

I just thought a Bob Molly movie, right? The Bob Molly movie, One Love. I thought it was a fantastic thing. I thought it was really good, too. I was skeptical coming in. I mean, I'm biased, but, like, it stood up. I thought it was good. I thought it was great.

I thought the dude, what's his name? We just had him on my breakfast club. Kingsley. Kingsley. I think I thought Kingsley did a fantastic job, but one of the most interesting things about the movie to me is when Bob Marley got cancer in his toe. Yeah.

And he saw it. Right. He knew it was there. But he just chose not to really do anything about it. Right. And everybody was telling him like, you need to go to the doctor, you need to go to the doctor. You didn't want to go.

And at one point he was like, you want to amputate your toe. He was like, no, he didn't want to go. Right. So basically, didn't eventually need cancer spreads. And it kills you, right? A lot of times, and I'm just basing this off experience I've had with close friends who've had cancer, when they first get diagnosed with cancer, there's a panic.

That panic causes you to act and do something. And you do something early so where the cancer doesn't spread. I feel like the cancer has already spread too much in America, and I feel like our immune system has motherfucking failed us. because all of the things that are in place to stop the cancer from spreading, whether it's the Supreme Court, the Department of Justice,

things like the filibuster, all of these things that we have, right, that we should be implementing to stop these things from happening. Nobody's youth. So we've just watched it. We've literally watched this cancer spread and spread, spread,

spread, spread, spread. And now it might be too late. Am I tripping Chris? Stage two. State two. Stage two. Okay. Still a chance.

Okay. Still a chance with heavy treatment. Okay. But once it's stage three. How close we to stage three, Chris? A couple months. Damn. Clock is ticking.

The clock is motherfucking ticking. That's all I'm saying. It's not going to be business as usual if Trump gets reelected. No. There's no scenario where that's what goes down. It might not happen the next day. It won't happen January 11th. But as soon as he's in there, he's going to start trying and trying.

Chris said that we had stage two. Stage two. I feel like the immune system of America is not functioning at all right now. I mean, Supreme Court, you've tried impeachment. It's like none of this shit. You know what I'm saying? Like all of these things that are in place to prevent what seems like the inevitable from happening are not being utilized.

You said it last week? So I don't know. Where you're like, he's not even president. he's making dictatorship. He's the shadow president. Absolutely. He's the shadow president. Whenever you can post and tell Democrats not to move,

I mean, tell Republicans not to move on something, and they don't. The other thing you've got to understand is for the course of U.S. history, the second you left the presidency, the second you left the White House, you shut the fuck up, right? Like, there was an unwritten rule. You never interfered in. politics, you didn't, you know, you might endorse a candidate, but like, you never got involved

in actual policy or trying to influence it because that's destabilizing. That destabilizes a country when there are people not in office trying to make those sort of decisions that they're not voted into do. Trump threw that shit out the window. Out the fucking window. It's very dangerous. There's a reason. Look at, what have you heard from Bush since he left? nothing. Neither Bush. Hardcore Republicans, very much part of the Republican system. Shut up as soon as they're going.

I mean, you could argue probably Obama's been kind of like the most vocal out of all the experts. And that's only because the Times called for it. Because the Times call for it. But like traditionally, you never heard from these guys again. They would never inject themselves into the conversation. Trump just ran all over that. And what scares me, man. And I love John Stewart.

I was watching John Stewart on a daily show. Of course he did a phenomenal job. He's John Stewart. He can't miss. I just felt like there is a certain level of pragmatism that's going to set in with people. And we're going to start. No, not start. We've already normalized this shit.

But I think even right now in this moment when there should be like a real sense of urgency, there's not going to be. There's going to be a lot of people who just intellectually start kind of just accepting defeat. You're going to start hearing like, it's going to be okay. Like that's why even when he said You know no matter who Regardless of who wins the country will go on It's like Let's not put these two things in the same

Bucket You know what I mean These two things are not in the same bucket But I'm watching I'm starting to see that from a lot of people Because nobody wants to look crazy Nobody wants to look like Rafiki And the Lion King

Right Like nobody wants to look like the crazy Person that's screaming The sky is falling It's going to be the end of the world And Republicans have done a great job of labeling people with this shit called Trump derangement syndrome.

So whenever you're basically just out here stating what we all see. It's right there. We're not making this shit up, Chris. It's right there. We're downplaying it, if anything. Very much so. Very much so.

But when you talk like that, they make you look crazy because they've convinced everybody this motherfucker's crazy. Listen to what he's saying. This shit could never happen. It's happening. It's not even about could it happen.

It's happening. right in front of all the eyes. Just look at this guy's track record. He burns things down. He hipes them up, and then he destroyed. I was in the YouTube comments reading. I guess I said something about Trump

and another show all these people. Chris hates Trump. Chris is an idiot. Trump loves America. He loves... He doesn't love Americans. You don't sell fucking Americans bottle of water for $10 if you love them.

You don't fucking sell them cheap stakes. You don't fucking sell them bad time shares. He's a fucking hustler. He doesn't give a fuck about anybody but Trump. You think that now all of a sudden this guy who's tried to get over on every single American he's ever encountered is suddenly, uh, you know, this mega, this big hearted guy now that he's present. No, he's a fucking hustler. How about you don't love America? If you tell America, they should suspend the Constitution to overturn the results of an election. Right. You don't love America if your lawyers are in a courtroom saying that, you know, he never agreed to support the Constitution.

Like, come on, man. What are we doing, y'all? Come on. It's all right. He's to talk a good game. It's okay. You got the guy wrong. So from what I'm hearing, it seems like voting for Trump is a really bad thing.

But how come I'm also seeing, you know, certain people that are in politics or around politics. One asked, are you supporting Biden? They're not like so forthcoming to just say. Because nobody wants to support Biden. And nobody wants to support Biden. But it seems like it's either a vote for the end of democracy or maybe somebody who's seen. I've told you already, I'm not telling anybody who to vote for. All I'm going to simply do is tell you what I see and you make your own decisions.

You make your own choices. If you want to vote for Biden, do your thing. If you want to vote for Trump, do your thing. If you want to vote third party, do your thing. If you want to sit home, do your thing. I've been telling people for the last year, there's going to be three choices in 2024, three legitimate choices. And that's going to be the Republicans who are the criminals, the Democrats who are the cowards,

because they don't fight for nothing, and the couch, which is voter apathy. And the couch is probably going to win. Now, I don't know who the couch benefits. Trump. Maybe.

Maybe. There might be enough energy around, you know, there might be enough women who say, fuck that. Roe v. Wade got taken away. I want to go out there and vote,

you know, to keep this guy out of office. I don't know. I really don't know. But that's the same thing. scary thing about November, you don't fucking know. Because based off what we're seeing from Trump, it should really be a blowout, y'all. It should be, but it's not. It looks like it's going to be a close game. And that's why everybody is upset. And that's why everybody is

telling Biden he might need to step down. Because here's my, here's the scenario I see in my head. If it's close, Chris, Republicans are going to steal it. That's what they do. It's got to be a blowout. That's got to be a blowout. And it's not. It's not going to be a blowout. The Democrats' only defense for voter suppression every single time is we have to have the largest voter turnout in the history of America. We have to have the largest voter turnout. I don't think they get that this year. I don't see people, you know, between Palestine and Israel, between, you know, voter apathy, like just people just being discouraged, Biden, not inspiring people. I don't think that people run out there in droves to vote like they have. in previous elections. So if it's not a blowout and it's close, Republicans are going to steal it. They've done it a million times.

You've got to give them a 5% to 10% steal margin. Right. And if that swings it right there. Our generation, they don't think they tried January 6th and weren't successful. You said what? They tried to steal in it. I mean, this past like. It's an unsophisticated coup.

It's sloppy. Yeah, that's all. It's unsophisticated coup. The next person is probably going to get it right. I think R.A. Melbillor somebody said it a long time ago. That was practice. Right. You know what I'm saying?

But if Trump gets back in the White House, they don't have to do shit like that's how crazy this guy is that he was just off the cuff like, hey, let's give it a shot. Let's give it a fucking shot. Let's see if these guys march down there and if they can't stir some shit up. It's worth a shot. Just throughout 200 years of democracy with that.

Hey, man. All I'm telling you in 224, you do your thing. I'm not, I'm not telling you who to vote for. I'm just telling you everything that I see. And I hate that. People act like you can't critique, you know, the Biden administration are Democrats and still not know what your best interests are in regards to who to vote for. You know what I mean? Like, it's just weird to me that we act like we can't critique both parties. Like, why can't we put both things on the table and know exactly why we're voting? I know I'm voting in 2024. I'm voting.

I'm voting to save democracy. That's it. I don't know what else to tell you. You know what I'm saying? That's it. Simple as that. Let's do some asking. Let's take some bills for us

and then come back and do some assing that is. Where do the bills tell again? Oh, I do have one more idea, Chris. What's that? What if Nikki Haley ran as a Democrat? In what capacity? Like if they bumped Biden and put Nikki Haley and put Nikki Haley

running as a Democrat. And it's a combination ticket of Nikki Haley. and a Shapiro, or even Nikki Haley and a Kamala, or Nikki Haley and a Gavin Newsom, I don't know. I mean, I'm no fan. I'd still take her 10 times out of 10 over Trump, if that's what it takes. I don't know.

Maybe a combination. A combination ticket. Would she do that? I don't know, man. I'm just throwing shit out there. Listen, it's clear I'm at my witch in, right? It's clear I'm out of bright ideas. It's clear that, you know, it just might be, we might just have to accept the inevitable, Chris.

It's sad. Maybe, maybe this is what, maybe this is what, this is how America's supposed to go. So the, the reason I'm literally sitting here right now is because my ancestors a generation ago looked at the landscape and we're like, it's time to get the fuck out of here. Right. So if you really feel that way, because there are a lot of people from that side of the family, they're gone. They didn't make it because they stuck around and they thought they could wait it out or they didn't have the means to leave or it won't be that bad. They're dead. So the question always is if this is the way I see it, this is the way you see it, do you stick around?

Or are you the one who gets on the boat and goes to wherever the next? Well, his thing, I have to get the fuck out of here because I don't have a job. Journalism is a rap. It's open. That's one of the first thing that fascists and dictators too. It's not going to be nobody out here that's going to be able to speak truth to power in any way, shape, or form. Freedom of speech for who? Get the fuck out.

By the way, he's already said it. Yet another thing. Let me see if I can find the quote that his people said about journalists. Hold on. Hold on. Because y'all ain't, y'all really not paying attention, man. Hold on.

I remember I was talking to a woman when I was working on the book with Ivanka Trump. Mm-hmm. I forgot you did that. Right. So just remember, when I talk about Trump,

I know who I'm talking about. Yes. She was pulled off a plane because somebody made a comment about his hair, and she laughed. And they pulled her off the plane. Oh, my God.

This is a guy with a very thin skin. Very thin orange skin. Very thin, brittle. Okay, this was all of this. You're not laughing at him. This was December. This was the first week in December of last year. I'm just going to read three headlines.

CNN.com. Trump and his allies are threatening retribution against the press. Their menacing words should not be ignored. CNBC. New Trump administration will come after the media ally ally warns. New Trump administration would try to prosecute journalists, former Trump advisor says. I don't have a job.

Trump calls for jailing journalists who broke Supreme Court's draft abortion decision. Anything that you say he doesn't like, you're going under the fucking jail, Alex. Okay, and it's going to be more for 28 days. All right? It just is what it is.

The fact that we're all just sitting around acting like all this shit is normal is actually kind of insane to me. It's actually kind of like, what the fuck is going? It's almost to the point where if you are a manipulative, evil person,

you would just be like, you know what? These motherfuckers really are stupid. Why don't I just take advantage of them until this shit is over? You don't ever be feeling like that, Chris? Yeah, and honestly, if he hadn't done January 6th, I could talk myself into being like, all right, he was president once before. It wasn't great.

We survived. It kept moving. But once you tried that, I was like, oh. Chris, he tried that. That's like, oh. He tried that with no indictments. Right.

No criminal charges. He tried that with no indictments and no criminal charges. What does he try with all those indictments and criminal charges? What's the Maya Angel's quote when someone shows you who they are? Believe them. He's showing you who he is. Whatever the fuck, I'm mad. You know what the problem is, though?

People want money, so I feel like people are also still holding him on a Trump giving money. Well, that's a very short- I mean, this is the things I'm hearing. That's all. Not even true. I don't know who planted the idea that somehow people were getting paid, you know. It's the feeling. It's the feeling people had during his administration because you got to think there was

stimulus checks and PPP loans. It felt like everybody was balling. Nobody gives a fuck about civics and Congress and all that shit like that. Donald Trump was the president. He took credit for it. People got PPP loans. People got stimulus checks. We said, what's the quote, people will forget what you said.

forget what you did, but they'll never forget how you made them feel. People felt like they were bawling under a Trump administration. It's really just that simple. People think it's going to happen again. We're not about to be in another pandemic. Why not? Why wouldn't we be in another pandemic?

I don't think they were going to shut the, you think they're going to shut the city down like that? It's not like he put the pandemic team in place. What was the pandemic team that he got rid of that Obama had put in place? Because Obama saw some shit like this happening. So they had a whole pandemic team in place that Trump came in and got the fuck rid of and then we got hit with COVID. You think we can't get hit with another pandemic? Absolutely goddamn looting.

And being the same situation, absolute motherfucking lootly. 100%. But it ain't going to be Trump that get y'all out. It's going to be rocking money.

DeVelle Pinson says, if you had access to a time machine, Would you want that, would you want one that goes forward or backwards? Backwards, probably.

Nah. You have fun in the 90s, you said. Yeah, but I want to go see, I want to see how this shit going to play out. I would want, if I had to go get a peek, I want to go get a peek in the future. I want to go get a peek in the future. And I would want to see how this shit play out. And I would need time, meaning I don't want to just go in the future. I need at least a week to see what's up with that.

everybody. You know what I'm saying? Like, let me go see what the fuck's cracking with people. Like, you know, I would have to wear a disguise, would I have to dress like the Ninja Turtles with the trench coat and the hat and shit? Would I look out of place because of what everybody's wearing? But I would want to go see. I would want to go see what thing. How far in the future? I wouldn't even go that far. I'd go to 2044. You want to go farther than that, Chris? I go past. Really? Because I can pick. I know the error I'm going back to, so I can pick one. one that I'm excited about, that I've always been curious about.

The future is a dice roll. You could fast forward into a fucking Holocaust or something. You don't know. Well, you get the fuck out of it. You know what I'm saying? Now you can only go forward. Oh, you talk to one person. You talk to one person.

How did this shit start? You go back and kill a goddamn baby. Whoever started this shit? You go back and you get rid of the motherfucking baby. That's true. You're of more service if you go forward and come back. Yeah, yeah. Because you can save people from their self.

But you know what's so crazy. could also make a lot of money better. You know what's so crazy? You go into the future, you find out what's happening, and you think we sound like goddamn madmen now. You come back and try to tell people about the shit you saw in the year

3000 or even in just 20, 20, 24. We probably sound in fucking sane. You know how crazy it probably sounded when somebody told people in the future? You're going to be able to like talking to these devices and call people anywhere in the world.

Take pictures. They're going to, There's going to be a time where everybody's just going to be looking down glued to these devices. All this shit that we're experiencing now that feels normal to us, at one point in our society would have sounded crazy trying to describe, Chris. I remember so today when they added cameras to the phone. Am I just saying that's so stupid? Like, why were they just adding camera?

I'm happy carrying my camera around. I remember that to the day. I remember. I was listening to Bishop T.D. J. J. this weekend, and Bishop T.D. Jackson was talking about when he was a kid and how TV used to cut off. He said it was three channels and TV would cut off at like 11 o'clock or 12 o'clock. Yeah, I think it was one. And then you would kind of be asleep and they would just show a flag blowing in the wind and there was music that played with it. Think about that. That's crazy.

Think about that. That's so crazy. What did radio do? Radio stayed on. Oh, okay. And Bishop, D.J. Jackson went like 60-something years old. So think about how much the world has changed. I was born in 1978. Do you know how much the world has changed? Since the 80s? In the 90s? Come on, man.

And I would have said, if I'd have been there in the 80s and 90s, I would have sounded crazy. Yo, I remember sitting around. Shit like Behold de Pahel horse used to seem like this will never happen. Right. Mind blowing.

Now it doesn't even. It's normal as fuck. Right. So much stuff from Pohon to Pail Horse has actually happened. Like, it's unbelievable. I remember. to my first white friend Thomas, Thomas Evans,

my first white friend ever. We used to live right next door to each other. That's my guy. I remember Thomas talking to me about, maybe it was Northrodomis. This was the 80s, mind you. Maybe it was Norda Damasis. It was something he saw that he read about the future.

And he was like, World War III is going to be America, Russia, and China. What? I remember this. And mind you, in the 80s, it was already a little rocky thing with Russia. You know what I mean? But I remember him saying World War III, he said,

I don't know, maybe it was not. It was somebody he read. He was saying, and World War III is going to be Russia, China, and in America. And I'm like, really? But think about that. We're in 2024.

This was the 80s. He read something that, somebody from the, somebody predicted that was going to happen in the future. Now look where we are, Chris. It's all I'm saying. I remember the first mass shooting.

You remember the first one? Yeah. Was that Colomay? No, no, no, no, no. That was in those teenagers. No, no, no, way before that. Those teenagers. No, way before that.

It was a McDonald's in San Diego. I wouldn't go into McDonald's for like five years. I was petrified to go. That was the first mass shooting in America? Yep. 1985? Maybe 87, look it up, but I think it was right around that era. I never even thought about that.

Yeah. There was nothing like that before. America, those shit is so common in America. Now that my kids, it's the most normal shit. Yeah. They get evacuated from school twice, two, three, four, four times a year, you know, for that. Jesus Christ.

We had fire drills. Yeah, now they got mass shooting. Now they have mass shooting drills. Aaron underscore old. What, yeah, they say? Yeah, we don't got old girl. But with what, though? Could I think it said, like, in a school.

The story of the first mass shooting in U.S. history, Howard. It wasn't a school of McDonald's is what I remember. Walk of death. Doesn't say, like, so. Is it depend? That said, 19449, Chris. Oh, really? Yeah.

They decided to go to the movies in Camden, New Jersey. Boy, can't have been shooting up shit for a long time, huh? How many people... Of course you can't Philadelphia. They don't say, I can't read it. I have to read the article. Well, first one I remember.

Either way they're seven and around it's just a goddamn problem. Let's go back to asking idiots, Taylor. What do we got? Aaron underscore 0783 says, do you think Club Shays'i's formula is sustainable? Ooh.

Why not? Why wouldn't it be? I mean, it's going to be. like any other platform. It's like, you know, when you have a, well, he's going to, he's got, here's the thing that I keep telling y'all, or maybe I haven't told y'all, the most impressive thing about Club Shay-Shay is Shannon Sharp. Shannon's Sharp right now is a personality that people should be studying. And the reason they should be studying him is because he is a multimedia personality. And you have to be, no, let me, not multimedia, multi-platform personality. He is

multimedia because he's got a podcast and he's on television and stuff like that, but he's a multi-platform personality. He comes on first take and he does his sports thing, right? So he's down there with Stephen A. Smith and everybody else, they're talking sports. So you're getting him in that aspect. Then when he does Club Shayshay, Club Shaysay is really about the artist, right? So he's on there talking to the comedians, the rappers, the singers, the actresses, whoever it is. So that's one aspect. Then at night, he's giving you his personality with him and Ocho Senko, with nightcap. He is a multi-platform personality, and that is why he's having the success that he's having. You have to be multi-platform.

I do Breakfast Club in the morning. I do Brilliant Idiots. These are two things that I've been doing. Breakfast stuff for 14 years, brilliant-n idiots for 10 years. When the opportunity arises and I do television, I go do some television. You have to be multi-platform. I write books. You know what I mean?

I don't know if you want to consider books the platform, but it is. I do audio scripted, like, even though I just executive produce those things, but my point is you have to be multi-platform in 2024. There's so many people fighting over, you know, this small market share because they have one platform. You know what I mean? Radio is a platform for me. Podcast is a platform for me.

Social media, YouTube, television, those are all platforms. You have to be multi-platform. Shannon Sharp is multi-platform. So do I think his formula is sustainable? Yes. Why? Because he's sustainable. So, you know,

is this going to be like anything else? He's going to always have a platform that people are going to fuck with. And you're going to have... You only get a Cat Williams once, bro. But I think the question he's implying, like, you know, how people are kind of just going there to talk to, to air the show.

What is he doing? Everybody has grievances. There's no shortage of people of grievances. What are they doing on Club Shaysay that they don't do everywhere? I feel like for some reason, like after Kat, now it's like that is the purpose of a club Shashay interview. It's like you get on there and say air your shit out. That's not true.

That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. It just feels that way. You're only saying that because it's all the, your whole algorithm. That's because people are stupid. It's only been two people who've done that. Cat Williams and Monies.

Country Wayne went on there, did it a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Because Mike Epps is talking about it. Yeah, but not to the level of Captain Williams and Monique. He's had Usher on there since then. Usher didn't air nobody out. He had 21 Savage on this and then he ain't air nobody out. We are really stupid.

I don't get in Trump. Do your fucking thing, man. Take this shit over, man. Like, we're just, like the things that we come up with in our mind. And I don't even don't know why we do this. I mean, that's what the question. I'm reading the question. Well, to answer the question.

Even Kajon, that does it too. No, he doesn't do anything. He doesn't do that. His content is all positive. Yeah, Kai don't do that. I think people, people are shooting at Kai, and now that Kai is responding back, people acting like Kai shooting at people.

Kai is not shooting at nobody. Kai is just basically saying, what the fuck is wrong with y'all? Why are y'all hating on me? I was actually very surprised that he even did that. Because he usually doesn't even entertain that shit. I would tell him rise above it. I would tell Kai, keep dancing, man.

Keep dancing. Keep reviewing your music. To me, all of that stuff is a distraction. Even with Shannon Sharp, I would tell Shannon Sharp the same thing, Shannon. Don't listen to none of these distractions. There's a lot of distractions out there. because that's just the way we are.

I don't know why we are wired like this, but we love to see something grow and then get to a certain level, and then we just start shooting at it. It is weird to me. Mind you, everybody's entitled to their opinion. If you don't like a show, cool. If you don't like a personality, cool.

Do your thing. But it is just so weird how we just build things up and then long for those things to be torn down. Like the fact that Aaron 07.7,83, even asking me this question. Do I think Club Chase's formula is sustainable? Why not? Why wouldn't it be?

What formula is he using that hasn't been used forever? People think it's popular now, so it has to die eventually or something. Well, I hope, I wish Shea much success. I wish all of these platforms, you know, that have, um, all of these platforms that are being built. I wish them all longevity. I love the fact drink chances coming up on 10 years. the fact the read is up on 10 years.

I love the fact Breakfast Club been around for 14 fucking years. Like, why would we why would we want otherwise? Gileon Wildo been around for like 70s year. I want all of these platforms to be around for long periods of time. I think Shannon might have been doing it for like, this might be year or two. Maybe. Yeah, but I mean, that's encouraging

to me because I think if you're in the business, if this is a climate where it feels like it's impossible to launch something new or to create that sort of momentum, right? It feels like, oh my God, like, how do you get something to pop. If you like it, don't like it. It's undeniable. The guy took something and accelerated it and elevated it so it can be done. You've just got to find the right format. So just for

that alone, I'm like, all right. Yeah. Good. I said, the only thing, you're only as sustainable as your host. And I think Shannon Sharp is a very sustainable host because he's multi-platform. He is not limited to one thing at all. And I think that's the way you have to be. Like you got to play in all. of these different worlds, if it's natural to you, and it seems very natural to him. So salute to Shannon Sharp and Club Shay-Shay. Genesee, how do you get ready mentally to quit a full-time job to focus on your business? You got to just do it. You got to treat it like the cold plunge. Okay? Don't tiptoe in it. All right? Don't ease your way in it. You just got to jump in, do it. It's going to be cold for a little while, but your body will adjust. All right?

And if you believe in yourself, it won't be hard. And the fact that you're even asking that question lets me know that mentally you're probably ready to quit. You're ready to quit your full-time job and focus on your business just because, you know, you're asking that question. But, you know, you can get ready mentally all you want. But there's a lot of other things you've got to deal with financially is the first thing. Do you have enough money to sustain while you focusing on getting your, you know,

business off the ground? Or maybe your business is already doing well enough to where you're saying, you know what, I can quit my job right now. But I would tell you exactly what I just said about Shannon Sharp. I wouldn't quit my job. Nope. Why? You know what I'm saying?

Like it's 168 hours in a week. If you have a full-time job that is helping you deal with your reality, that's going to make it easier to focus on your business. And if you're one of those people who tell me, well, I don't have time, I would tell you like I told you on my first book, there's 168 hours in a week. Write down all the hours you're spending doing things. Okay, if you're 40 hours at a full-time job,

you still got 128 hours left to play with. What are you doing with that 128 hours? I guarantee you within that 128 hours, you can spend another 40 focusing on your business. Even with that,

you're still at how many hours? 80. No, more than 88? I'm terrible at math. Hold on. Around 80s. Let's see. But you still need to sleep. 168 hours minus 80. 88.

88. You still got 88 hours left to do what the fuck you want to do. If you don't think 88 hours is long, get sentenced to 88 hours in jail. Get sentenced to 88 hours in jail. You got more than enough time to do everything you want to do. I wouldn't quit my full-time job unless I absolutely

positively hated it. But, you know, that's just an extra check. And in this era right now, you've got to be doing more than one thing. You really, really do. So the same way I'm telling Shannon Sharp and saluting him being multi-platform, you got to be multi-job, sadly. Do like Alex.

I remember Alex coming from the court, parking on the street with the video, equipment in the trunk until it got to the point where I was like, all right, this is clearly the right move to make. But I was like, I remember that you're doing both. I've been doing both for 20 years. I mean, this is the climate. Like, you can do both and you need to. What do you say to people that

always want to change their job because you may not feel like respected in theirs? Is you? Like I have... You think it's them really? You. Why? If everywhere you go, you feel disrespected is you.

Everybody can't be disrespecting you. That's this impossible. Like, no. I have a friend that she works in the... She works in the... I don't want to say health care, but... I forgot the title of it originally. What does respect even look like at jobs?

She just feels like they can be condescending and it shows which. I think that's what I'm not saying that they aren't being condescending. I just think that anytime, especially in this era, if you're an employee of a place and you're listening to all of these people tell you that you got to be your own boss, right? You want to be named that. So you listen to all these people tell you that you want to be your own boss and you got to be your own entrepreneur. Anytime, if you're listening to that and you're working,

These jobs, you're going to always feel like somebody's being condescended to you. You're going to always feel like somebody's talking down to you. Yeah. It's just. I'm going to say because she works in, you know, mostly all white. And, yeah. But she goes to the same position. So again, another job in the same, same, same, what we call it?

Same category of the job. Field. Field, thank you. Same field. But. That's it. I don't, I can't speak to her situation totally, but it sounds like it's really on her. I'm not even joking.

It sounds like to me Like she's not feeling respected Just because in her mind She's looking at all these white people She's telling herself Dr. Umar would hate me You know what I mean? She's telling herself Dame Dash

Would want me to fucking be my own boss And it's fucking with her Like that's that's that's I don't know I don't know Let's do one more man What we got? Let's scroll up Taylor

Uh Play 26 is where Let me see when are we going to see both of you in a movie when we do the brilliant hideous movie out our own pocket which which will happen one day a lot of these are shorts oh this is a good question oh this is a good question but everybody asking about shows daughter oh i do this is this is valentine's day julie 165 says what is the one thing you love about your wife i have a million

things that I love about my wife, a million, a million, a million things. But I love my wife because she is who she is and has always been that. You know, we've been together since we was kids, since teenagers. The person she is, the stoic, sure, showing up for her friends, showing up for her family, very trustworthy, very loyal, honest, person, she's been that. So she's really, so as I say the one thing, she is a person of great character. I don't know if there's too many people that I've ever met in my life who have the level of great character that she has.

And she's just, man, she never like waivers in any way, shape, or form. Like, I've never seen her too happy. I've never seen her too sad. I've never seen her too excited. I've never seen her too down. She's just very stoic. She balances you out. At all times.

Definitely, because I'm the crazy motherfucker. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I've been the crazy motherfucker. Like she's the perfect balance for me. And yeah, that's the one thing. She's a person of great, I'm talking about pristine character.

And she's never, she's never bullshit. Like, she's never, ever bullshit ever. She don't bullshit. nobody in her life. And that's something I've seen from the time we was kids to, you know, growing up in our 20s, 30s, now 40s, to having our own kids. And there's nobody else on this planet that I would, that I would want to do life with. And I thank God for blessing me with that beautiful black woman he blessed me with at such an early motherfucking age. And I wish I would have done right by her and got myself together way sooner than I did.

But everything happens the way it's supposed to happen. So, you know, I got about 50 more years. We got about 50 more years. Do you have those talks? What you mean? Like, why, why are you shaking your head at me? What talks? What are you doing?

I'm just saying, like, seeing like my grandma getting old and everything, I wonder if she had a talk. Oh, 100%. Absolutely. You got to speak it into existence. Absolutely. I'm going to be here until 101. I'm just saying like when it comes to both, like, I don't even want to give you anxiety.

That's not anxiety. We're going to die one day. I'm just like, what have you died for? Like, I don't know. I have no problem. I know I'm going to get to live a long life. I already know I'm living until about 100. You got to talk about those things.

Absolutely. You got kids. Absolutely. There has to be plans. Absolutely. I had that talk with my father the other day. Yeah. And it's the right talk to have.

Absolutely. He's like, this is my drawer. This is where this account is if I die first. Go do this. Go do that. Your mother will need this. Your mother need that. Here's the paper if you can't find this. Yeah, I recently had a discussion with my mom.

I think my parents are iffy with the conversation still. Listen, man, we got our will. We got our trust, everything. And that is the key word trust, too. That's the other thing I love about my wife. She's the only person on this planet I've ever truly trusted because I have very severe trust issues, which I didn't even realize I had until recently.

It connects the dots on so many things, my anxiety and all types of other stuff. I have very severe trust issues. She's the only person I have ever trusted wholeheartedly ever in my life. Like, period. Being married to someone you don't trust would be, I can't even imagine a week of it. Right? Like these people who are stuck in relationships where they don't trust. Man, who they're married to.

I would gargle with bullets. You know? It'd be a nightmare. You know what I'm saying? Get the fuck out of here. Wait, how you sometimes doesn't have to do with you. You just say you just recognized it, so. Recognize what?

That you have severe trust issues. Yeah, but I've always trusted her. Right. I've always trusted her. So in that realization of how I have severe trust issue, I realize she's the only person I've ever truly trusted. And that's, that's powerful. Yeah.

That's powerful. Like, I don't know what we was doing, we was doing brilliant. This last week and I somebody asked, what's more important love or trust? Maybe that's a drink chance question. I don't fucking know what it is. I just feel like you can't have love without trust.

You're trusting somebody with your heart. You know what I'm saying? Like you're trusting somebody with your being. Like women literally have your heart and your balls in their hand and they can crush either one of them at either time. I feel like trust. Swallow either one of many of the time. Have you ever been swallowed up?

I think his levels of trust though, because people can say they love you but do you trust them to be in a room with usher like you know what I mean like where is that that goes that's not that's my point that's not trust but I can't I can trust my wife to be in a room with anybody

okay you know what like that's how I feel you know and guess what here's the other thing about trust right even if you trust your significant to be in the room with a person let's just say

let's just say they do make a mistake do you trust that person to be honest with you about the mistake they made. And do you love them enough and trust yourself enough and trust yourself enough to know I can stay in this relationship and not keep bringing this shit up? And I trust that person enough to not make that same mistake again. That's all. I don't even know what I said this now, but that was fire. Record that?

I might put that in a book or something. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's the brilliant idiots podcast. Thank you for listening.
