Starting point is 00:01:53 Andrew Shul. We ought to bring it. I didn't hung out with my family, bro. In New York City? No, out in Hamptons. Out in the Hamptons? And it was just lovely. And, like, I'm experiencing a weird...
Starting point is 00:02:04 It's not even weird. I don't even know why I think it's weird to even say it. But I, like, I... There's these amazing events that are happening that I recognize are amazing cultural events. And when my friends are at them and texting me, like, I am excited for them. But I don't feel the fomo of it because I'm where I want to be. Welcome to fatherhood, my boy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Welcome to fatherhood. I'm with you 100%. But I also think it's connected with the fact that like, I got to go away for 10 days to shoot this movie. I'm not going to see them. I got to come into the city for a few days and do pos and stuff. I'm not going to see it. So I already know my time is more limited with them than most.
Starting point is 00:02:42 So I'm like to leave them to go see a, you know, World Cup match or like a concert, I got to love that thing. I love it. That's what you're supposed to be. I feel very grateful that I'm experiencing this. That's right. Beautiful thing.
Starting point is 00:02:59 I feel, I mean, I'm face-hyming my daughter and she's in a car. She's like, will you come home, Dad? Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. That should have make you shut the whole movie down.
Starting point is 00:03:11 The whole thing. You know what I'm saying? Like, fuck all this shit, yo. I fly him out tomorrow. Come out here tomorrow. I need y'all out here tomorrow, bro. I know. They came with me the first time because it was a couple weeks and now it's like,
Starting point is 00:03:22 do they just come all the time? My kids don't like me to go nowhere. That's beautiful. Every time before I leave that, why are you going? Where you got to go in the city for? Like, somebody got to pay for this shit. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:03:32 That's the balance. Yeah. And then they find out you made $200 million. They're like, why, you can pay for it. I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. They're like, you can pay for it already. I don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:03:40 But that's why retirement is not an age. It's the income. That is true. And you should not let anything consume your life so much that you just feel like you have to keep doing it, keep doing it, just because that's what you're used to doing. Amen. You should be able to get to a certain point
Starting point is 00:03:57 that if you feel comfortable and financially you know that you can mind your business and sit back, mind your business, sit back, and I'd much rather be a family man all day long. Yeah. Or you choose to do the things that you want. That's it. I've been there, I promise you,
Starting point is 00:04:15 I've been there for at least close to a decade now. Probably, probably, no, I say about, From 2019 to now. Yeah. No, no, no, I'm lying. After COVID. After COVID, I'm like, I'm not doing nothing I don't want to do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Because I don't have to. Like, I'm not, I'm not money hungry like that. Because, you know, we make a lot of money just doing extracurricular shit. Like, you can be like, go host this here or go show up here or go up here on this show. It's like, nah, I'm cool. Yeah. You're like, nah, I'm cool. I don't want to host a game show.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I don't. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Bro, I do. I get it. I mean, yeah. It is crazy when you get thrown opportunities. But also it's, that is what you're, I don't know, that is what you're supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Sometimes I see people who are like almost professional celebrities. Like they're at the opening of everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And as I experience it, and I'm early with my family, don't get me wrong. Like, I imagine when your kids start getting into like their late teens, they don't even want to hang out with you. They got birthdays with their friends and things that they're doing. They're going to camp and they're going on a trip or whatever. Maybe you have a little bit more free time to go to these different things.
Starting point is 00:05:18 but every single person that's had kids that I've spoken to has told me about these young stages and every one of them goes by like that says that and they're like what I would do to be back in that stage it goes by like that and they're not sleeping and you don't get to sleep and you're exhausted the whole time and I get it
Starting point is 00:05:36 but that shit resonates with me every single time an older person sees me with my young kid they have the exact set oh goes by fast what I would do to have them at that age again and it's wild because I got both dynamics at the house, right? I got like the whole that man. I got leaving the house.
Starting point is 00:05:52 10, 7, 4. That's right. I got leaving the house and then got the youngest is 4 years old. Yeah. And you're looking at the 4 year old and you remember when the 18 year old
Starting point is 00:05:59 used to be that. But now you're trying to figure out, why does the 4 year old sound like the 18 year old? Yeah. What the hell is going on in the world? These kids are so goddamn advanced.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah. Like in the 4 year old and the 18 year old are like super close. Yeah. It's the wildest shit in the world, you know, to see that. Because when I tell you
Starting point is 00:06:16 it goes by like that, it goes by like that. And I get caught up in these Instagram scrolls. Like I hit one emotional video. And then if you keep on scrolling, it like suggests. You know what I'm talking about? And it's all parenting shit. I was watching some like clip from a Korean zombie movie.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And the dad was trying to save his wife and daughter. And then got bit. And he leaves the train and locks them in the train. And the daughter is crying. Oh, that's what that was? You seen that one? I've seen that shit. I don't know what the fuck was going on.
Starting point is 00:06:45 I'm crying. So he's outside the train. and as he's turning into a zombie, his life, I'll get emotional talk about. You know, it's like he's dying, like the zombie, whatever, but like, it lives, but like he's dying. And the last moments he has.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Right? I saw that shit. I didn't know what it was. Seeing his daughter for the first time having his daughter's little hand grab his. And as he's turning into the zombie, it's so beautifully done. He's smiling.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Like, he's at peace with his life. I didn't know what that was because I was going to sit in that to Chris because I always find like Asian videos the same dress that I do all the time but I didn't I couldn't tell what the fuck was going on Oh man I got like yeah they just You get one after another like I saw once not like that
Starting point is 00:07:28 But it was um a woman like this this stalker person was like Trying to get the child and instead the mom took her life for the child But the mom comes back and you just in like It was a horror movie where you had to hold up a phone and then you see go or something like that. Yeah. So the dad... Pokemon?
Starting point is 00:07:49 No. Remember how the Pokemon shit used to be when you had to hold up the phone and you see Pokemon's all throughout the room? Oh, the Pokemon Go. I guess, but I mean, that's how the movie was. And, like, the dad sees his son at night, like, twirling around and nothing's holding him up
Starting point is 00:08:05 and then he holds the camera. What? Is the ghost, it was a gay ghost? No. He came to get emotional. I know. Don't try to get emotional, man. This guy is a roadblock.
Starting point is 00:08:16 He's a speedbunk. Every time you're about to get into a crying situation, he's going to be there, boom, and fuck your whole shit up. But he's like the ghost are twirling. Don't even try to do it. Can I be honest with you? I got no fucking clue what you're saying right now. Zero clue.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Basically, in the movie, they had the horrible phone to see the ghost, right? Yeah. So the ghost is trying to take the child. The mom took her life instead, like, because the ghost, I guess, was lonelier. It was some of them shit. But so then the dad one night sees, the mom's going already, right? So one night the dad sees his son just twirling around.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Nothing's holding him. And then he puts the phone up and he sees his, it was the mom, like playing with him. Oh, shit. Damn. So the mom was dead. Yes. Yeah. And then that was her playing with the cat.
Starting point is 00:09:07 God, you had to lead with that, Taylor. She did. She did? She did. It's all good. I know. I know you stop paying attention. I mean.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I don't know. I got to stop paying attention to me. You can see when he glazes over. Bro, you are actually one of the best. Can I give you a compliment? You one of the best at making direct eye contact with somebody? And not hearing a word. Not listening to the single thing they're saying, bro.
Starting point is 00:09:29 He did it all the time. Not a single. And he'll even do facial expression. He'll be like this. Like, I can see him stop paying attention? And he'll be like, yeah? Oh, wow. And you can see his hand reaching for his phone.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Like his, the fact that he doesn't have a phone in his hand. is burning him. It's like, because what the fuck is this person saying right? Yeah, because you never listen.
Starting point is 00:09:49 You know what I'm listening. I'm listening. You buried the lead door. I didn't hear him you say the mom was dead. I heard you say that the ghost was gay and the ghost was twirling around. I never said nothing about him.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And he could only see his dick through his phone. I literally was just having this conversation about how cancers Lily do this. Like, you have an issue. Yo. What do we do?
Starting point is 00:10:08 But be great. No, y'all got issues. You are your future husband is a cancer. I know. And I tell him the same thing. Shout out the Big P. Oh, I got scared for a second.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I know, no. I thought you were getting broken up with. No. Nah, Big P is a cancer, man. Oh. And your son's a cancer too, right? Yes. That's right.
Starting point is 00:10:27 My mom's a cancer. I cannot skate them. Big Pee, little B, Mama G. All cancers, baby. Let's go. You have all cancers in your life? Unfortunately. She needs that.
Starting point is 00:10:38 No, no. Y'all need, because y'all need balance. You don't have my heart. You know. It takes one or no, no, no, Taylor really has no empathy, okay? You don't have any. What do we? Come on.
Starting point is 00:10:50 We don't have any. I see Taylor walk up to one of Diddy's potential. Oh, my God. Get over it. When Breakfast Club used to be on remote television. One of Diddy's potential victims. A man. Wasn't anybody a potential victim of Diddy?
Starting point is 00:11:05 Well, what you're saying? A potential victim of Ditty, okay, who was a man, was just minding his body. business, you know, clearly on his Instagram, he was having a good night out with Sean Combs, having a ball. And this girl right here walks in the room, walks up to him
Starting point is 00:11:25 and goes, so, how did it taste? Homie goes, how did what taste? And she goes, how did it taste? He goes, what? What do you mean? How did it taste? What are you talking about? Taylor goes, Did he's dick?
Starting point is 00:11:40 There's go! He didn't deny it, though. That's the crazy. He never denied it. When there's something that happened to him? Nah. We don't know. Imagine action.
Starting point is 00:11:52 A sexual assault. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's sexual assault. First of all. That's what I'm saying. Let's be clear. Let's be clear.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Imagine me doing that to a woman. Come out. Imagine me doing that to a woman. Come out. Come out. Let's be very clear. Unbelievable entertaining. Turns out it's going to make you worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Keep it up, Taylor. Let's be very clear. The person that we're talking about, he's still supportive. This guy's crazy. Imagine me saying wild shit to people. Imagine me, Charlie's saying the guy. No, no, no, no, no. Imagine me saying that specifically.
Starting point is 00:12:29 To a man? Oh, bear with you, Larry. The man, you get that. That's what I'm saying. I know, but that was just crazy. That's what we do. I had to say, Taylor, come on. Let's leave.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Charleney. Come on, Taylor. Come on, Taylor. He also, I sent you a really nice, message on your birthday. Don't act like I'm not empathetic. You're ridiculous. You're ridiculous. You see your message on my birthday? You only sent that because you used to being surrounded by Kansas. What? That's all. So now that you're surrounded by cancer, now that you're surrounded by Kansas, you know what we need. That's all. She would have never sent that before. That's all. That's all that is.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Like, she's used to being around Kansas now. She know that we need. But that's a good thing. That's a good thing, though. That is good. It's good they giving you empathy. Round of applause to the cancers in your life. First of all, it's not, y'all. The cancer's didn't give you that. It's been me. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I've known you for a long time, y'all. I've known you when you was a thug. Okay? I'm not a thug no more. No, you're not a thug no more. You're a mommy. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Big bomb a team. Because my baby's going to be won this. Oh, legend. God bless you. Isn't it crazy? That makes me so sad. No. Motherhood hasn't.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Motherhood hasn't changed Taylor, though, because Taylor was high off shrooms at the concert. Oh, no. She picked the craziest night to be high off shrooms. Did you really have a panicking? I thought that it was about to be a setup. Like, I was just looking at all the people in the stadium, and I was like, if people start riding, like, I need to get home to my son. Like, I was getting very, very, like, anxious. You know, so crazy, I was so on a high from the weekend, and it was such a weekend filled with
Starting point is 00:14:10 joy that I never thought that. Never thought what? I never thought about it being a riot or anything like that. You said that you were there. I was like, okay, if Charlamagne's not freaking out, then I'm- Like what? For real. On Sunday, because I don't know how I, you know, I,
Starting point is 00:14:25 let me just tell you something. Charlemant almost started a crazy rumor. What you want? With you what? Charlie, man, without even knowing, he almost started a crazy. Wow. Okay. Because everybody, everybody that saw me Sunday.
Starting point is 00:14:39 No, no, no, no, no, don't bear the lead. Don't bear the lead. Okay. He almost started crazy without even realize it, right? It's ours. Dove is at the concert, too. It's hours where the shit hasn't started. People start texting me because they think I'm there.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And they're like, yo, when is it going to start you hearing anything? Dove text me. He goes, yo, uh, Charlemagne said Dame Dash called in a bomb threat. Wait, wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it, right?
Starting point is 00:15:11 I go, oh shit. My boy Eagle Witt comedian hilarious, text me. He goes, yo, you know what's going on here? What the hell is happening? And I almost texted him. And then I go, you know what? Let me hit Charla to see what's up. I hit Sharla.
Starting point is 00:15:26 I go, yo, what the hell is causing this? Is there a problem? They can shut it down. He goes, he says verbatim. Nah, Dame Dad is called in a bomb. I said, I guess it's real. Right? And then I literally type it in.
Starting point is 00:15:39 to the text to eagle. I type it in. Let me say something. Once it goes to Eagle, oh, man. The whole world thinks Dave Dash called a popter. Okay, once it goes out there,
Starting point is 00:15:50 I'm telling you, because he's going to text to everybody else who's there, et cetera. I do one callback. Oh, man. I do one call back to Charla.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I send one more text back to Charlotte, which we will not say on this pod, which we will not say. You remember I said back to you? I don't remember. You remember who was opening?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Oh, gosh Oh, so, so let me look, let me look, let me look, let me look, let me look. You guys are crazy, bro. I heard more than one person saved. So I do what? So I send one 20 text back to him. Send one fucking text back to him. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:16:33 He laughed. And then I go, nah, but seriously, did Dame call it a palm threat? And then Charlotte just laughs at what I said, which I interpret is not real. I don't send it out to Eagle and everybody else that's messaging me. You know what's so crazy? Yeah. I first told that joke when we was online, right? Online.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Oh, going in. Going in. Yeah, yeah, right? So everybody's laughing. After a while, after I said it to a couple more people. Yeah, people were. People were believing. Oh, so you.
Starting point is 00:17:07 That sounds crazy. That's how crazy people that he is. That they think he would really do that shit. And I'm like, bro, I'm joking. And they was like, nah, I can see him doing some shit. I'm like, oh my God, which made me not even want to say it no more. But then you did say it immediately to as many people that asked. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I couldn't help it. It took me back to when I was in like 20-something years old and before the internet and before social media growing up in a small town. and you would say a rumor about somebody that was hilarious, but it sounded true and everybody would run with it. Yeah. Oh, my God. I heard a lot of good ones.
Starting point is 00:17:46 First of all, it's still happening now. And you know it's good when it comes back to you. So you be somewhere and you be like, yo, did you hear that such and such? This happened to something like, no, for real. He's like, who told you that shit? Look how happy he gets. Like, oh, my gosh. This guy is crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Let me tell you. He really is. You guys really crazy. We're taping this on a Wednesday. Yeah. We went to a con, the last concert we went to was on Monday. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Right. Technically. Yeah. There's nothing like real life events. Yes. And I know that, you know, everybody says real life events are coming back. I'm here to tell you all that real life events never win anywhere. No.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I just think that people now are appreciating those real life events and that real connection more than ever. Because the dopamine hit that I felt. all weekend. Like, I'm still on a high from the weekend. Mind you, I had no plans to go all weekend. So you went Friday? Friday was the night. Friday I had a plan to go on. I'm like, yo, we got a suite for Friday night. We're being the suite. Got my folks in the suite. You know, we're going to have a good time. I wanted to see reasonable doubt. I'm like, yo, reasonable doubt. That's Hoves' first album. That's the album that laid the foundation for everything. I just knew he was going to pour his all into that show, right? I couldn't wait to see it.
Starting point is 00:19:07 but the high I got Friday night but it wasn't just reasonable doubt he played other stuff too he did it the right way because one thing that he realized is that damn she did that shit like we're in fucking jail
Starting point is 00:19:24 like she did like who that was crazy what the fuck was that just now but I went on Friday because I wanted to hear reasonable doubt but the way Jay did his set, he knew that reasonable doubt was for the core fans. He's fully aware of reasonable doubt of the album that sold 40-something thousand the first week. He's fully aware that reasonable doubt
Starting point is 00:19:48 was for the hip-hop fans because it's not like that crowd was singing every word to those songs, but the show was so well put together. The show was so cinematic that it was like watching a movie. It was like watching a story. I liken it to, this is like when the bad guy actually wins at the end of the movie doesn't get caught up doesn't get locked up doesn't die and then lives long enough to even change his life
Starting point is 00:20:21 but he's just showing you his origin story and the shit was just exciting to watch but in between those reasonable doubt song he would do something that was a little bit more palatable to the mainstream audience like just something people knew so it just kept you engaged
Starting point is 00:20:38 the whole fucking time. But I had such a high from Friday night down when I was like, damn, I was, you know, I'm good, I'm good. I'm not, you know, somebody just asked me, are you coming tomorrow? I'm like, no, I'm not coming tomorrow. No, you're coming tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You're going to be here tomorrow. Who said that? You work for us. You will be there. Right, okay? My direct supervisor at Rock Nation. You have to be there. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:06 That's where it says you have to be there. You have to be here tomorrow. And I wanted to be there for Saturday anyway because it was the blueprint. See, I like when artists do specific albums. I like when they say, hey, we're going to do one night
Starting point is 00:21:19 of this album. I went to go see Jill Scott at the Hollywood Bowl. Oh, I didn't realize it was like that. I thought the whole weekend. No. So the first night was reasonable doubt. Second night was blueprint.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Third night was compilation of everything. The third night was the extra interest. So it was just a little bit of everything. So I was like, you know what? I do want to go see the blueprint. Because I love reasonable doubt, but I actually like blueprint better. And it just makes, it's like Reasonable Doubt is his first album, the one that laid the foundation, but Blueprint is arguably his best album, even though now I love 4-44-4.
Starting point is 00:21:46 But I'm like, yo, all right, I'm going to go see the blueprint. That night was amazing too. But the Blueprint Night was just all about the music. But I do have one critique of the Blueprint Night. The Reasonable Doubt Night, we know the story of Reasonable Doubt. After seeing it Friday, do you feel like you know the story of Reasonable Doubt? Yeah. We still don't know the story of The Blueprint.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Why not? Because the backdrop of the blueprint, the thing that overshadows the blueprint is 9-11. Because it dropped on September 11th, 2001. So when Hove starts the show, which, by the way, I don't even know if, I'm sure people called it, but the show started on Saturday at exactly 9-11. By the time he got, by the time he was doing the World Trade freestyle, he's like, I dropped the same days as the World Trade, it was 9-11 p.m. So the whole backdrop of the blueprint is 9-11.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And Ho even sat on stage about how, you know, this album bought a lot of healing to people. And it was kind of like an escape. But we know that's not why he made that album. Of course, yeah. So when somebody gets five mics in the source at the time when mics actually meant something. And at the time when, you know, you hear this album and you was like, yo, this is probably Hoves' best work. And we still look at it as this might be Hoves' best work. I want to know what the story was, especially when they said it took them a, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:02 that they said a week or two to record the fucking blueprint? Really? And you got songs on there like takeover, right? So think about where his mind said was. Did he play that? Nah. He played the instrumental, but he didn't play the song. But you got songs on there like Takeover.
Starting point is 00:23:15 You got songs on there like, Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City where he's addressing a bunch of critics. You got songs like Renegade where he's addressing a bunch of critics. Like what was going on in his mind during that time? That he said, I'm going to record,
Starting point is 00:23:28 arguably, my best body of your work. You don't know is on that album. Like, song cry is on that album. Never changed on that. Are he talking filthy? The rule is back. He's talking filthy on Blueprint. I want to know what his mindset was.
Starting point is 00:23:43 What's the story behind that actual album? I thought I was going to get that Saturday. I didn't necessarily get that. I got the overarching theme is always 9-11, but we know that's not what that album was about. But went to that, and I'm like, all right, boom, I want to hi. It's like, no, you're coming back on Sunday. You're coming back on Sunday,
Starting point is 00:24:07 because this is history, okay, and you don't know if this is ever going to happen again. Like, you know what? You're right. I'm going to be there. So I come back Sunday, and I want to see how you stick to land. And everybody's saying Sunday was the best show.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Not to me, but people are saying Sunday was the best show. You thought Sunday was the best show? Yeah. Why? Because it just, it had everything, and all the people he brought out, it was just like, there were a couple of verses on reasonable doubt
Starting point is 00:24:36 that I didn't remember. Sunday, I knew every song, word for work. It was just phenomenal. Yeah, for me, if I had to rank the shows, I got two different perspectives, right? I rank the show and my experience. And I think that's what we do
Starting point is 00:24:53 when we go to concerts. You rank the actual production, but then you rank your experience. And this is different because I never thought I'd be going to a concert three nights in a row. I've never done this in my life. At 48, I'm not built for this shit. I'm letting you know that.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I love your post. My lower back has been hurting all motherfucking week. I'm wearing a Timbs. That was funny. I don't know why I wore him again the day. I'm just bugging the fuck out. I'm just bugging the fuck out. I'm not built for it.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I couldn't imagine sitting on that floor three days in a row in Timberland, especially on Sunday. I had to do this Sunday. I don't know if I wore Timberton's. I did wear a Tim's Sunday. But what the fuck was I talking about? Oh. The difference between the show and your experience.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yes. Experience and production. For me, if I had to rank it production-wise, It goes one, two, three. To me. One, the best production was one. Reasonable Doubt was the best show production-wise to me. Two was Blueprint.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Three was the extra innings night. But if I had to rank it by experience, one is reasonable doubt. Two is extra innings. Three is the blueprint. Because like I said, I was in a sweet Friday and Saturday, which I was happy to be because I could actually watch the production, just sitting back observing, watching the production. But I wanted to be on the floor Sunday night because I wanted to feel that energy from the people.
Starting point is 00:26:12 That's a completely different experience when you're on that floor with the people. You know what I'm saying? Did you feel safe there? You don't like crowds? That was the thing. I didn't feel like everybody's there for, that's a great question, Andrew. Everybody's there for the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:28 So it's like the same energy. Everybody for one night only is on the same type of energy. It's like going to a football game. Is it possible? And all of y'all rooting for the same team? Like, the tickets were too expensive for you to feel concerned? Okay. Think about it like this.
Starting point is 00:26:43 You're right. But think about the people. Not really, though. Think about the people who bum rushed into the show. No, I know. And that's why what they did on Sunday made all the sense in the world. I know people was afraid of the delay, where they were mad about the delay. People were fighting, though, in there.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Yeah, but they would, like, you wouldn't even notice. They were one right next to me. We had to stop it. That should get better seats next time. Shut up. But if you get, if you get. She was... Has you in the bleachers, yeah?
Starting point is 00:27:09 No, I mean, I was just one row from the ground. Okay. Taylor mad at me because I didn't want her in the sweet with me. Why not? She don't know nothing about Jay-Z. But yeah, I'm not empathetic. Look at him. She texts me, but I was honest.
Starting point is 00:27:22 She texted me and was like, y'all want to come to the Jay-Z show, and I rolled my eyes. I said, do you even like Jay-Z? I said, I'm not a fan like you, but I admire and respect him. No, that's not what she said. She said the hype got her. That all the marketing, she said that. Read the message. I never said that.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And all the photo around it got her wanting to go. That was her exact word. But is that a good thing? Why are you getting mad at me about that? Nah, you need to be surrounded by. Yes, man. Real energy. It's different.
Starting point is 00:27:50 It's different. You weren't all surrounded by just that. So let's be very clear about that. Eh. It's like watching. It's like, it's literally like watching sports with women that don't know sports. That's not true, though. And you're watching basketball.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I knew his song. And I didn't even know that. The guy goes to the bathroom. You go to the free throw lines. Like, yo, is that a field goal? Yeah. Is that a field goal? So, you just wanted to rap with everybody.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Yes. Yeah, that's the exact reason. What the fuck I wanted to? It's the point of going to a concert. I wanted to look around me like, while I'm watching every nigga watching me close playing. My brightest potter for the, they want a toast, man. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Yes. Yes. But you had enough people to do that. I keep my head, both with them, when they're supposed to. But you haven't have people to do that, though. Tell you, you don't understand. Like, they're three, I'm surrounded by strangers, and by the end of the night,
Starting point is 00:28:43 I'm best friends with three people because we raping every single song, dapping each other up, going crazy. Our girls are just like a little bit bored on their phones and shit like that. No, it's not gay. See what I'm saying? Any male joy, you see how male joy is gay? Male joy is gay. We're to do that.
Starting point is 00:29:01 They don't want us to be happy. That's why gay means happy right there. Whoever made gay made it because they know it meant happy. Any male joy they want to call gay. You're 100% right. What Alex is saying is so true because think about this, right? People bumrushed the doors and people got in that wasn't supposed to. They got to shut everything down.
Starting point is 00:29:18 They got to make sure everything good. They got to make sure they no bombs and there no guns, whatever, whatever, because that could be a bad situation. They got five each of those people. But think about this. Even the people that probably got in that they couldn't find, they wasn't in there for no trouble. They just wanted to hear a motherfucking heart of the city, man.
Starting point is 00:29:32 I don't know if we know. They just wanted to hear H to the Izzo. You can hear it from outside. Nah. That was, that's what the Bronx is for. You don't just sit outside in the Bronx. The people that got to enjoy it from outside are Bronx residents. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Okay, the rest of y'all better buy a ticket for y'all get robbed. They're not going to be on our fucking sidewalk sitting in our fucking launch ass eating our motherfucking. Were there people outside? Just listen to it. It was beautiful. Yo, it was so many people. I rolled through Highbridge twice just to see the energy, yo. People had tense out.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Yo, there was, there was Puerto Ricans sitting outside with their bottles of liquor. Well, I guess they were Puerto Ricans, Dominican, I don't know. They would, like ice would have a field day. But they were fucking... Puerto Ricans are illegal here. They're American citizens, yeah. But they're fucking out there with their liquor. They got their chicken.
Starting point is 00:30:16 They know, they got tense. They're having a ball. Playing dominole. Playing dominole. No, dead ass. Like, that shit was beautiful to see. I have a question. So, I don't get any respect for, like, being like, oh, wow, I see why so many people.
Starting point is 00:30:33 like really fuck with Jay-Z. Because I've never, again, I never not liked him. But I didn't know the history as much. Tell me what you think. You're 35 now. Yes. At the 35-year-old young woman and watching Jay-Z this weekend, what did you see? I was seeing about, oh, so on Sunday, right?
Starting point is 00:30:52 I was like, there's two ways to look at it. Like, when we were waiting for it to start, I was like, it's like, damn, like, this is ridiculous. But at the same time, like, wow. Look at the impact that Jay-Z. has has on so many people, all different generations. What superstars will make you wait five hours? That's what I'm saying. That's not Lauren Hill.
Starting point is 00:31:12 That's not Beyonce either. And you're gonna actually stay. Like nobody moves. I know. Nobody left. That concert was, I left at 1.30. We know someone who left. Who?
Starting point is 00:31:25 We know someone who left. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He was wild enough. And he left like 10 minutes before that shit. That didn't make no. Really? That was crazy. Imagine waiting four hours and then leaving 10 minutes before it started.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Do you think it was going to get canceled? D block. D block. Imagine waiting four or five hours. I can't remember how long it was, but imagine waiting that long. The show starts. Nobody leave. But more importantly, nobody was disappointed. Well, I think the opposite thing usually happens.
Starting point is 00:31:58 From when you go and you start to think this could not happen. happen and then it does, there's this immense gratitude because you feel like you almost got something for free, even though you pay for your tickets, whatever. It's the opposite. It's not like the entitlement. I mean, I once had a show and like the electricity went out in the venue in Philadelphia, helium in Philadelphia. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:32:24 And instead of canceling the show, we literally just used a phone light and we just did the whole show. And the energy in the room was like, we thought that this was going to get canceled. Our plans were going to be done. This is going to be awesome. I can't imagine what that must have felt when you build your entire last few months thinking about what it's going to be like for this night. You're there one hour in as I happened, two hours, three hours and you're hearing the little whispers and you're going, fuck, of course it would be our night. Of course it would be our night. Yeah, but that's all the reason to leave. To me, that's all the reason not to leave. Like to me, the whole movie, I mean, the whole weekend felt like a movie, right?
Starting point is 00:32:59 When you got a kid that got school the next day. It's not in summertime. Yeah, he shouldn't have. Yeah, you shouldn't have left. Yeah, you have work though. It's summertime. You had work and me late. I was late, but I was there all weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:12 I'm 48. Give me some grace. Damn, 48. 40 fucking 8. Exactly. You're still arguing on the internet? Exactly. No, no.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Like, not even a little bit. Friday, Saturday, Monday. There's no way I was. I'm like, you know, I got to see how this shit plays out. And I thought about leaving, like, nah, but I got to see how this shit plays. I just got to see how it goes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And for him to come out on Sunday, Monday, actually, and bring all of those artists, give you another show within a show. Not one person complained about the delay. If that was a, if that was Saturday night, I think people would have complained. Why? They don't got to work in the next day.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Because people were already complaining because they felt like the blueprint was too short. Yeah. That's what I was saying. I thought people did like this. How long was that concert? Saturday. I didn't go to that way. It was the shortest.
Starting point is 00:33:59 It was definitely the shortest thing. But like how long? Oh. I don't even think it was three hours because the night's went on at eight. He started at 9-11. The show might have been over by like 11. Yeah. Got it.
Starting point is 00:34:13 So under two hours I get it. Yeah. I'm sure you can look up the time, but it probably was under two hours. No, my friend said it was 11. Three and a half. It was 11? Yeah. Friday he did like three and a half or something like that, right?
Starting point is 00:34:23 Or three hours. Friday was long. Yeah, Friday was long. Friday was long. Friday was the best. And honestly, seeing Friday, I streamed it. No, no, I streamed Friday. I had a babysitter, so I couldn't even go anywhere. I just streamed our ticket in my suite. This guy, man. This guy, man. This guy.
Starting point is 00:34:44 I don't know. Why are you friends of them, man? I don't know. I don't know. You're already being vulnerable, you know what I mean? You already talking about things out of your control. You're just adding more things out of your control. Taylor gets everything. She's spoiled. It was. Why didn't you have a babysitter?
Starting point is 00:35:01 What about P? Well, it's a long story with all that. We have one now. Also, Pat, he was in Houston. Oh, what was going on there? DreamCon. What was it? DreamCon.
Starting point is 00:35:13 What is it? Oh, what is that? You guys never heard it? Are you into animation? What's it? A con for sleep? No. No.
Starting point is 00:35:22 What do they call it? Not animation. What's it? Anime? Anime? Yes. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, it was anime.
Starting point is 00:35:29 I got to take my daughter down. I even know they had that. It's huge. I thought that would be just in with Comic Con. No, that's like the biggest one in Houston. Yeah. So he went with his boys to Houston and you believed he was going to look at anime? Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:35:43 And you call me gay? Hold on. Hold on. Why is that gay? You travel with your boys to ghosts to an anime. Why are you snitching? Why are you snitching? Why are you snitching?
Starting point is 00:35:53 Alex. Alex. He ran down on you. Alex, Alex, Alex. No, Alex. We had a nice conversation earlier. So I don't know why you got to. No beef, no beef, no beef.
Starting point is 00:36:04 ORA. And his girl's white. Gee, Spanish. You know what in? Spanish. You were the white-ass girl. That's crazy. Sell out with your Melodin United Jersey.
Starting point is 00:36:14 That's crazy. That's crazy. Now you're going to wear a Melody United jersey. I didn't unite melanin with a Spanish girl. Yo. How did that work? And you being generous of Spanish. She's from Spain.
Starting point is 00:36:24 She's from Spain. Damn. Until she's actually a freaking colonizer. Oh, the greatest colonizers in history. Damn, Alex. You're doing a show with one. What I do? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Yeah, right? Damn. You're colonizing. I'm Scottish. We were colonized. Damn. You think our language is English? Damn.
Starting point is 00:36:48 We were colonized by them crackers. Damn. Them crackers colonized us. Them crackers is saying. They took away all language. bro, they took away our culture. You don't even know how to colonize. But they can't take away our freedom.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Tell them, you don't even know how to colonize, Scho. I don't. Tell them, man. You tell them, you're too broke to colonize. I'm too broke to colonize. I'm too broke to colonize, man. I don't even know how to colonize. I don't even know how to colonize.
Starting point is 00:37:11 I mean, look, I can probably figure it out. Don't seem that difficult. You know what I mean, might be in the bloodline somewhere. Let's not get crazy. Listen, man, shout out to everybody that went to the whole show. But that's what I mean. Real life experiences, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Y'all was just saying back in the pandemic days, you're like, man, it's all over, no one wants to go to concerts. I literally remember y'all saying that. When did we say that? In the movie theater, y'all were saying that. They were. They were saying that. Y'all were all over.
Starting point is 00:37:45 We were wrong, bro. We were wrong than a motherfucker, bro. This shit not changed? I don't understand what's talking to you. Exactly. Shit changes. So why can I have changed my mind? Like, you know.
Starting point is 00:37:54 You didn't change your mind. I did change my mind. She changes, yo. Like, there is nothing like real life connection, real life experiences. And that's the other thing, right? Remember I was saying how it's like, no questions when your man went to the strip club capital or the world to look at in a bank? Shout out to Houston, man. But, um, I saw him this weekend.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Actually, let's be very clear, my man is very faithful and he loves being a positive. I never said he's not faithful. Chances are the most faithful. Wow. I saw that at the date. So what are you, so what are you? This dick. Cancers are the most favorite.
Starting point is 00:38:27 What are you? Did you just start being a cancer like eight years? Exactly. Let's be clear. On pain. 10, God damn it. That's right. Either way.
Starting point is 00:38:37 What? Cancer are the most favorite. Cancer men. Now, cancer, boys, you got to worry about. Cancer men, the most favorite. Yeah, but why are you saying that? Why are that question? Like, we're checking with each other and all that.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I'm obviously joking. Okay. Come on. But Alex. I didn't say nothing. You literally. You literally. That's the second time she didn't check to.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Y'all must have been bonding over a dick earlier. No, what's not. You been like, you're talking about how good dick is or something. Yeah, what type of melanin you united with? You know. But you didn't see how Taylor checked? Don't let them turn it. Taylor was like, yo, Alex, man, you had a good conversation earlier.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Don't forget what the fuck we was talking about. What were you about? I told you what kind of loom to start fucking music. Take that shit in the butt. Oh, Alex. I was giving you some dick-sucking tips early out. You got the magic. That's how that shit weak.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Yo, don't let us get away with that shit, Taylor. Don't let us get away with that shit. They're just to respect to you. That's nice. Shout out P. Let P go to Houston. Let him go wherever he wants. Shut up at Houston, man. Shout out Houston.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Yo. What the fuck? Why can't we just let our partners go to Houston? Why can't we let our fucking partners go? Why can't we let our partners enjoy anime? And why is it gay to have male joy? Yeah. Why is that game?
Starting point is 00:39:53 I mean, no. I mean, I don't know. She sounds like you were on FCN. Oh, what's going on? Yeah. No. Oh, no, what's going on? Next question.

Starting point is 00:42:07 Are y'all ready for a... Yo, question, though. Does that happen at Yankee Stadium a lot? The people trying to break in. People say that. They don't have too many concerts like that. They have 81 home games a year. Not one home game is delayed four hours.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is a... Security is bad when security's not used to something. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, that's not what we do. We're used to old people coming here to watch the games with their kids, grandparents. Yeah, yeah, I get what you.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Come on. Baseball game is relaxing. It's just being outside. So there's no real urgency. So look to Eminem too, but they went crazy when Eminem came out there. Oh, M's the truth, man. Oh, do I am on tour? Like, M got a cult-like following of, like, everybody on the planet.
Starting point is 00:42:52 But no, seriously, especially, there's a generation. A generation of white males who grew up on Eminem who would probably love to take their kids to an Eminem show. I wonder why Eminem don't do shit like this. He likes his piece. He well. Do you think it's because I'm just asking,
Starting point is 00:43:08 do you think Eminem's music has aged well? I think that you're not trying to age the music. You want people to feel what they felt. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's almost like you, when you go to something like this, you hope it doesn't age
Starting point is 00:43:25 because you're trying to feel that nostalgia. You're trying to get back to that moment when you were a teenager before a fucking high school basketball game and you're putting in Eminem's crazy shit and like getting into the mood and excited for the game, whatever. Like you want to relive those emotions you had
Starting point is 00:43:41 as a young person. So I don't want it to age well. Yeah, you wanted to be able to... Hi, my name is, and I want to be a kid again for a second. He listened to that shit. He did the right song though. He did Renegate, right?
Starting point is 00:43:52 He did Renegate and then Jay up the stage and he did lose yourself. Oh, forget it. But that's a generation. You see, all right, you got, you see, how I need you have a generation. You got a hype. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:44:03 That's a generational. That's why people's dreams and nightmares. Oh, dreams and nightmares. Dreams and nightmares came second. No, I know, but I mean, the way I get hyped for that. Yeah. Like, it's not like y'all don't get hyped. This is the shit that I hate.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Like, we do, but not the way y'all get. Yeah. But lose yourself. Like, y'all be like, I hate this. You're like, you're going crazy. I hate this shit. It's okay, though.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I hate this shit. I'm acting like you're not excited by it. That is like white people's knuck if you buck. I think dreams and nightmares is a good comparison. It is. Our PSA. Okay. RPSA.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Nah. PSA is different. Yeah, I don't think so. You're saying. PSA is just a different type of song. It doesn't, it's not the... Who's yourself literally is like, like, it's like white people sitting around like, yeah, I'm going to want it.
Starting point is 00:44:52 I'm going to want it. to show mom tonight. I'm going to show you mom. No, it's not show mom to night. This is what I think non-white people can't imagine about white people. Talk to me. Non-white people don't think white people see themselves as the underdogs ever. So when you see white people getting excited for lose yourself, if you're positioning
Starting point is 00:45:14 white people as the overdogs, right? Not the underdogs. You're like, what is this connection to this? Most white people think they're the underdogs. So when they're watching Rocky. or they're watching any comeback moment in a movie. It's no different than y'all, right? Where it's just like, oh, we're up against all odds.
Starting point is 00:45:31 It's David versus Goliath, and this is going to be the moment where everything turns. It's a wrestling match. When Hulk is hulking up and the crowd is getting them back into it. It's not a colored thing. It's literally everybody viewing themselves as having an impossible task in front of them, and this is the thing that's going to get you excited.
Starting point is 00:45:45 It's not a color thing? It's not a color thing. Like, you guys also have the same connection to it. You mean colored? Like, it's not a color thing. Oh, color. I thought he said color. I just want to clear that out.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Because people will be like, what? This show just say color. He just said this beautiful explanation. I can't even talk. I was like, I'm sick and tired. I'm being sick and tired. I know he talked about nostalgia, but God damn. You know what's so funny?
Starting point is 00:46:12 Before Birdman walked in, and you can go back and watch me tell this story from way back in the day, I've told it. When he was in the lobby. He was listening to lose yourself. Lose yourself. I'm 20? Yes, I'm looking at him through the glass and lose yourself was playing. He was good.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I did not remember it. Yeah. That's what white people. That's what's going on in us. I'm trying to tell you. I've told this story before. Eminem Lose Yourself was playing. Before Lose Yourself ever came out, before the song ever existed.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Before the song ever existed. Palms are sweaty. That's every white boy playing in a pickup game with majority black people. That's his car. Who they have? Before that song ever existed, before the song ever existed, he's like, I got next. And then it starts. Tol on, don't know, hold on, man.
Starting point is 00:47:03 That's everything going through their minds. Let me see, man. If you give a white person a task that they could possibly fail at, that's what's going through their mind. Damn. Yes. Oh, that's shit. That's where they fucked up with Biden. If they played that shit.
Starting point is 00:47:22 The wind comes in is like one of them ones, though. Thank you. It sounds like a... It's like Dreams of Day kids. You can't liken some shit that came after. It does do it though, because they let this whole piano shit play the other night. They let that shit play. The band was playing that shit.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Then it's like... It's the guitar. The whole arena was like, oh... Was this before? Renegator. No, after he, Jay left the stage. You know, this is a little embarrassing? If you had one opportunity, I got goosebumps. Oh my God. It's a little embarrassing if I got goosebumps right now. My fucking hair standing on that.
Starting point is 00:48:10 How you see Eminem one concert? Center already. Mom spaghetti. How do you see them in? Come on. But he keeps all forgetting. When he wrote down the whole crowd goes so loud, you know, this mouth but the word Words won't come about. We're joking now.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Everybody's joking now. Top them over. Go, Brad. Brad. Nah, that shit's just fine. No, it's just fire. It's just fire. The generational record.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Just imagine. Just imagine. Sit back and imagine. Imagine Eminem was black and made us. I mean, it'll be like dreams of nightmares. It's tough. I mean, it's a, I don't even, it's not. It's not a race record.
Starting point is 00:48:57 It's a tough school. Oh, now it's not. Now it's not. I'm going to go outside. I'm going to come back in. Let me tell you something. Nothing will have changed. You know what's crazy?
Starting point is 00:49:06 It's not a race record. What's the fucking what I'm saying? It depends. It depends who made the record. That's what I think every single time I walk into this world. It depends who made the record. The reason that record went so hard. What are we doing now?
Starting point is 00:49:22 What are we fucking doing it? The reason that record went so hard. This is really a 30-minute podcast. We just say the same thing over and over again four times. So it becomes two hours. That's what happens every single week on his podcast. How nobody has figured this power in a entertaining way. The reason that this record took off the way it did is because Eminem had success.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Play the song. He literally lived. He was living his breath. He was living in a dance. You ever came out to a stand? up special with this? No, PSA. And PSA and Hustler's Ambition. How come you never came out to this? Typecaster. You don't know the nose. Yeah, two on the nose. On the nose. But it's non-racial. Say again? And it's not racial. To y'all it is.
Starting point is 00:50:15 You know what I mean? Like a white boy being really into this song. Yeah. So you guys are like, ah, you guys would really like that song. I wonder what Dr. Umar would do if he was about to come out somewhere and somebody played that song for him. You think he would be. You think he would be. You think he would. would walk out. Nah, he would love him. He would feel it. You would feel it. You know who killed the night too? Gizi.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Yeah. He killed it? Yeah, that was good. That was good. Ooh, Jeezy came out and did scene at all. And then they did Dope Boys Go Crazy. Oh, my God. That's my second big concert of the summer.
Starting point is 00:50:48 I'm going to see Gizi in Vegas, man. You know, Gizi does a residency in Vegas and there's black ties. So you got to wear, you know, black, you got to wear a suit. wife got away to black cocktail dress or whatever, and it's a band. That's the next thing I'm going to see. It's a great sum. Unks is outside, baby.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Maybe it's just because we're old now, but doesn't everything feel unkified? What you mean? We're unks! No, I mean, culture. You know, I was good. I was going to say that, though. I was going to say that,
Starting point is 00:51:15 it seems like y'all generation is still conquering over. It's dominating. Like, it's like, even the way people are dressed. shit is back to the 90s, which is our generation, or it's baggy clothes. People are wearing the sneakers that are fat at the bottom, like the hoax. It's like they're wearing sneakers that are literally made for people over 40 whose feet hurt. Like even the cool shit feels unified.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Now, it could be just us seeing this because we're unks. So you know how you get a new car? Now you see your car every time you walk down the street before you got the car. You don't notice it ever. So it could be that. But it just feels like culture is. Do you do know that the age demographic, the highest spending consumers in America, are generally 45 to 54, with 35 to 44 and 55 to 64 close behind?
Starting point is 00:52:11 Yeah, but you know the reason for that. Because those are 45 to 54 is the peak earning years. Yeah, disposable income. They got disposable income. They often support children in our college expenses, you know, and we spend more on travel, entertainment. Like, that's the demo. So, you know, I understand why people, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:30 no, I don't understand. Why do you want a kid to kid to kids if you're not a kid? Because kids will dictate culture. Do they anymore? To their, to their demo, for sure. But the thing about kids, which is so funny, is that there are all these, like, Gen Z young kids right now that are dressing like we dress back in the day.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And telling us we shouldn't dress like that no more. And not even that. They're not telling us we shouldn't dress like that. But there is a version where they're like, oh, you're trying to dress young or are you trying to dress cool? It's like, you're wearing our clothes. Well, that's all I know what to do.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like dressing gay is new for us. Yeah. That was an adjustment. It was an adjustment. Word up.
Starting point is 00:53:10 You know how hard it was to get into these. You see what I'm saying? But these shit are comfortable. You look comfortable. You look comfortable. You want to try that one, bro? No. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I'm being so honest with you. But it looks comfortable. What it's called? Oh, these, I don't know, I got a. VBA? Vibum. Like, you dead ass are just wearing pajamas. But.
Starting point is 00:53:27 You're like, you guys live in a pajama. By the way, that's young shit. Anyway, so you got to be ready to sleep whenever. But that's young shit. That's young shit. I've been watching that and my daughter's high school for the last four years. They go to school dressed like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:42 But this is how we... Especially during the easy era. We did pajamas. Exactly. We did pajamas. Adam Taylor always in some shorts and house clothes. Yes, we did. I mean, for not my era.
Starting point is 00:53:51 My era was dope boy fresh. Like, we had to put that shit. shit on. Like what? Like, we at least put on clothes. You didn't come to school looking comfortable back then. There was like a period where pajamas was in. I'm 48. Yeah. You,
Starting point is 00:54:04 what I understand what he's saying. Like, girls are wearing, they look like underwear, but they wear them as shorts. Young people. It's like, like, um, linens. They're, boxes. They're wearing like boxes and that kind of shit. So maybe we never did that. But like, when we were growing, when I was young,
Starting point is 00:54:23 you were a little bit older. I don't know if it was popular down south, but like the Gap Sweetsuit, which is like casual as, but like you're wearing this, that was the cool thing to wear. You weren't even doing exercise or nothing. It was just, I'm going to wear a Gap Sweat. That was regular. So, yeah. All I'm simply saying is, whatever we do. That demo, not only is it the highest bending demo, it's a demo that for whatever reason people aren't afraid to embrace anymore.
Starting point is 00:54:48 And I think the only reason people aren't afraid to embrace it anymore is because of exactly what you're saying. Nostalgia is back in. but it's not just nostalgia, it's just people want what's actually good. When you have money, you want to make sure what you're spending your money on is going to satisfy you. You know if you go to a Mary J. Blige concert, you're going to be satisfied. You know if you go see Eminem, you're going to be satisfied. You know if you go to see Jay-Z, you're going to be satisfied. You'll spend all your money on Jay-Z merch because all of this shit is nostalgia.
Starting point is 00:55:18 I think that there's another component. Talk to me. I think that... And we just need something to do sometimes. Okay, so there's two more components. One, older people, they like activities. Yes. Because we don't just go, yo, what are we doing Friday?
Starting point is 00:55:32 There ain't no, like, no plans. Yeah, we can't wing it. Ain't wing it. Winging it is over, buddy. We got to call babysitters. We got to get the family over. The kids got to get fed. That's right.
Starting point is 00:55:42 So it's like if we're going to do a thing, it's got to be an event. That's right. The other thing is we're not really in touch with the new artists. So we don't have new artists to be excited to go see. So we really are relegated to go and watch the people that have impacted us in our lives. And that is the artist having these nostalgic moments. And when it becomes the super saying moment like this was, it's when the next generation is curious about the old heads
Starting point is 00:56:13 because those artists have managed to remain relevant. That's right. And the old heads are all like, I need to go experience. Every young artist that was there this weekend, the ones that I saw. and not even the not even, I don't want to just say young. Like, even the ones like, like the Wollets and the Fabulousus is the world,
Starting point is 00:56:27 but the young ones like the Ruben Vincennes and all of them, they were all saying, that's what I want. Yes. They were like, I want that. There was aspirations. Yes, that's the greatest show I ever seen, but I want that.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I want that type of reverence. I want to make that type of music. I want to be beloved in that way. They wanted that. Yeah. And that's what you should, that's what the OGs are for to provide that type of inspiration.
Starting point is 00:56:50 That's I felt. You know what I'm saying? I'm not a rapper, but just looking at the business and infrastructure of something like a rock nation. Oh, shout out to Emery Jones. Emery is, you know, Jay's guy. I remember being in the office watching Emery throwing the paper playing around and just asking him like, yo, what's that? And he was like, that's the next iteration of where we're going with the clothing. And to see everybody, literally everybody, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Starting point is 00:57:17 All his merch. Walking around with paper plane merchandise. Like, it's not merch in the sense of, oh, I got to get this merch because, you know, that's my favorite artist. And it's not, you know, clothes in the sense of, oh, I'm rocking this because it's fashion. That paper playing means something to people. People wear that paper playing in their everyday life. So watching people walk around for three days with that paper playing on, that's the, you only see that reverence for sports teams. You only see that type of reverence for sports teams.
Starting point is 00:57:46 That paper playing means something. People got the pins on. People got T-shirt. People got hatched. Like, that paper playing me something to somebody. That's big, man. Salute to Emory. There were people hit me like,
Starting point is 00:57:56 yo, can you cop me merch that? They were not at the show and they were asking me to copy. I'm trying to tell you. That shit means something. So that's the type of shit I look at and be like, that's what you want to build. Whatever you're building,
Starting point is 00:58:09 you want it to be like that. You want people to, you want to be beloved. Who was I talking to? Oh, Michael Rubin was saying that. We had a one breakfast club last week, and he was just talking about how he wants, fanatics to be beloved.
Starting point is 00:58:23 When I was small, we dreamed about getting big. Now they were a little bit bigger, I think big is bad. I dream about how do you become beloved? Like, how do you make the most beloved brand of the world? And it's funny. You talk about Fanatics Fest. It's like, that's about how do you be beloved?
Starting point is 00:58:36 How do you bring all these incredible, you know, athletes, celebrities, artists? And most importantly, 200,000 sports fans together for four days. And that's like, that's about being beloved. And I had to think about it for a moment because beloved means emotional attachment. And to me, a company like fanatics would get that anyway because they're sports.
Starting point is 00:58:59 I feel like if you're selling sports gear, you don't think so? No, because your connection is to the teams. It's not to, like, for example, the NBA is not beloved. The teams within it, the game of basketball is. but like nobody cares about Fiba You know or like FIFA They care about the individual teams that are in it
Starting point is 00:59:27 Because they have connectivity to that So like doing that with a brand like Fanatics would be very powerful But like I need I need to understand like what is fanatics Yeah people are more like That's a good point because you're walking a store And see a jersey But you'll look to see if it's Mitchell and ass
Starting point is 00:59:42 Or if it's fucking What other brands is out there? I don't fuck it. Yeah like you know like champion. For me, like Iheart is a massive company
Starting point is 00:59:51 but it has properties within it that are beloved by being. I don't know if there's someone who's like, I love all of the things
Starting point is 00:59:59 I heart does because they probably don't even know all this shit that I heart does. Just like NBC. It's like, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:00:05 I don't love NBC. I might love specific show that comes out on NBC. So it's very hard to have, you know who got the closest?
Starting point is 01:00:14 HBO. Yeah. HBO had a small enough catalog and enough bangers that people started to be like, I love this brand. I think they still got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like when we were watching Sunday night...
Starting point is 01:00:26 You had to watch it. Whatever came on Sunday night at 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever came on Sunday night, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, you got to watch it on HBO. Guarantee you'd bang them. They still got it. I mean, they kind of...
Starting point is 01:00:39 That dragon... His season is fire. No, no, no. What I would say is, and this is something maybe there's like generational riff here, and this is only because of technological changes. But like there was a time, you know, where we watched football all day. And then whatever was on the show on TV.
Starting point is 01:00:58 The wires. At night. Yeah. Like you didn't have to leave the house. Game of Thrones. Yeah. You didn't have to leave the house from noon. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Until 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. You're not wrong. You are not fucking wrong. You're not wrong. Damn. You're right. It was like a whole. Like, imagine you're a Christian, right?
Starting point is 01:01:20 Or a Catholic. You go to church Sunday morning. You get the word. You're feeling filled up. You're excited. Holy box office. Holy box. You go home, you're watching your favorite team play.
Starting point is 01:01:35 You're watching the game you're probably betting on after that. And then you're watching the show that you've been watching for three seasons. It's just so invest in all these characters. And then you go, it was almost like a treat. before you got to go to your shitty-ass work week. I really would love to talk to the executives at HBO from that. Oh, God. I'm not even joking.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Who were the executives there? And I wanted did all of them have something to do with that Sunday night lineup? Because there was a bar of excellence that HBO set. No, it was insanity. It was insanity. Like, how you don't got no misses? Bro, it was. They did.
Starting point is 01:02:09 And if they did, I can't remember them. But they went wire, sopranos, true blood, six feet under. I think people like... Sex in the city. Sex and the city. Sex and the city was insane. Yeah, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:22 I don't know if that was Sundays. Was that Sundays? Pretty sure. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Sundays. But there was just a run where it was like... Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones run was fucking... I'm gonna tell you the shit that they...
Starting point is 01:02:31 That I don't know why they didn't keep doing. Lovecraft Country. I know. That first season of Lovecraft Country was fire. Fire with Jonathan Majes and... Was it Justice Smolette's sister? I think it was. It was, right?
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yeah, that shit was five. I'm just HBO. I'm HBO had it, bro. I mean, they still got it. There's certain shows I watch. I just don't know when they come on. Now they're about to have Harry Potter when they act starts. Got to watch Harry Potter.
Starting point is 01:02:58 That's going to be crazy. You got to watch Harry Potter. Yeah, they're making a series. And they do it. Basically, each movie becomes... Each book is a season. Each book is a season. By the way, the penguin was fire.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Yeah. Penguin was fire. Peacemaker to me is fire. I love both seasons of Peacemaker with John Cena. People I thought really like Peacemaker. Peacemaker was fire. I can't wait for season three of peacemaker. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Peacemaker was great. I can't wait to see the lanterns. The lanterns was fantastic. The second season of Peacemaker was dope, dope. When they went into the alternate world and it's... Like, it was cool, but it wasn't like... I enjoyed it, enjoyed it. One world.
Starting point is 01:03:34 You put it against all the other shows on HBO. No, no, not with you. One World. I'm just talking about... Oh, that one. One World? I didn't watch one. What was it called?
Starting point is 01:03:42 Oh. West World. West World. That first season of West World was fucking crazy. Hax is good, too. You ever watch Hax? Everybody keeps telling me that bad Hax. It's good, man.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Shout out the Hacks. We're on the new season of Hax. We did a... Curb. Oh, Curr. How you forget about Curb? What'd you do? Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:04:00 What'd you do on the new season of Hacks? She came to Breakfast Club. Wait, wait. It takes place contemporary time? Hacks? Yeah, yeah. Hax is in modern-day New York. Hold on a little.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Really? Yeah. Oh, I had no. Hold on one second. I want to sit. Yeah, Deborah Vance, Gene Smart's character. Yeah. Deborah Vance comes to Breakfast Club to promote her, I think it's her Madison Square Garden
Starting point is 01:04:24 show. Yeah. So she comes to Breakfast Club to promote it. We're on this season. It's just the final season. I think we're on episode six, I believe. We start the show. And the shit is dope because it started like they literally started off like the breakfast,
Starting point is 01:04:37 like how it starts off on Netflix and YouTube. Like they literally start the show like that. And so it'll fuck you up if you're just watching it because you, you know, if you used to watch your breakfast, you know, you know, you used to watch I saw videos, you were like, oh, shit. But hacks is dope. Hacks is fun. Let's pay some bills, man.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Let's get back to the show. You got some church announcements as a guy walk out. Yes, sir. This weekend, um, Bray, I'm so sorry we had to move shows to this weekend from last weekend. But we added another day. So there's two more shows there. Brea Improb.

It is a day of mental health solutions and tools for change in honor of World Mental Health Day. I flew to my good sister, Debbie Brown.

Starting point is 01:06:24 y'all at the Joelle and Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center in Newark. And as always, it is a free a bit. Taylor gang, what else we got? Taylor Gang gang gang. So apparently I'm sure you saw this, but apparently
Starting point is 01:06:40 this AI, right? Oh, that's AI? Yeah, I didn't think Kevin Durant would do no shit. But look, someone said the reason why is because of his hair, his hairline. Yeah, I didn't think Kevin Durant would do no shit like this. Scroll up, it said, what's it giving? Kevin Durant poses for his new KD-19 candy apple in a new photo. But I feel like if it was AI, Kevin Durant would have denounced that already.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Kevin Durant would have got on social media and been like, nah, that shit ain't real, bro. Hold on, let me look. What's the name of these shit? Kevin Durant Candy Apples. Tell me a really funny post about it, though. What they say? I'll bring it out for that. I think KD posted.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Yes, it is fake. He said, He said, He was great a post in this. Yeah. Yeah, it is fake. I was like, there's no way. Kevin Durant would never do no shit.
Starting point is 01:07:26 That's why they, this is weird. Kevin Durant, like, that's not even some shit you could get Kevin Durant to do. You know how photographers or have you doing some wild this shit? You know, you're doing a photo shoot? Yeah. And a photographer would be like, bite the apple and look into the camera, but turn your head to the left, but turn your eyes to the right. No, he can't, Kevin wouldn't do no shit like this. Are those sneakers even real?
Starting point is 01:07:45 I think the sneakers are probably real. Yeah, let's not make, let's not do that to candy apples, man. There's no way his mouth could even fit around it. He's biting the entire apple. God, dang. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, there's no way. Now, you can do that now if you open wide enough, but that's the whole point.
Starting point is 01:08:03 That's what we'll make it gay. I don't think he can open wide like that. You don't think so? I don't think Kev got it like that. You don't think Kev got the jaw to open wide like that? I don't think so, man. Shout out the-A-hole apple? Shout out to KD.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Could be a small apple. I guess, man. don't know how big the Apple is, that is true. Don't bite the Apple Eve. I'll tell you this, though, man, that right there is what's wrong with the internet. And I do not want to spend the rest of my life looking at shit asking if it's real.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Because guess what? I didn't know it was fake till just now. To just now. Tell Taylor said, some people are thinking this is AI. Yeah. So I went to go look at it just now. The first thing that popped up was a Sports Illustrated article that said,
Starting point is 01:08:43 uh, what did it say? fake Nike ad for Kevin Durant fooled the internet. Now how many people are going to see that ad? How many people are going to see that ad? Nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining. Kevin Durant eating that candy apple is entertaining. Yeah. And if you stare at it too long.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Isn't this a good thing? What? Even if it's fake, all this publicity, that's the point of an ad. Not if the shoe ain't real. Not if the shoe is real. The shoe is actually real? Yeah. Why?
Starting point is 01:09:15 It's a shoe. It's an all-red shoe. He's coming out with- Are the Rockets colors red? No, I guess he are, right? Are you sure, yo? Yes, the shoe is actually real. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:24 It's just him biting the apple. Who the fuck wearing candy apples? And what do candy apples got to do with Kevin Durant? We can also see. I mean, everybody kind of does an all-red shoe. Ever since Kanye came out with the Red October. Well, why you got to call them Candy apples? Red October sound hard.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Candy apples on your feet make the cipher complete? I mean, Jordan had the grapes. Yeah, but grape is, the grape can be Crip. Yeah, they were. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You think grape, you think Crip, you think grape ate. But also candy, you think candy painted, like, oh, Houston, yeah, yeah, yeah, candy, red.
Starting point is 01:10:00 You right, yeah, yeah, candy, what, candy apple? I don't know, man. I don't know. What is this? Who is this? So this guy commentate before we found out that it was. That's not this guy. That's Ray Ray.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Yeah, he's funny. Okay, well, sorry. Sorry Ray, but I've never, I never seen him before. But he commented. Why y'all laughing? I haven't. Yeah, I know. I mean, I sneer.
Starting point is 01:10:22 I see you really, yeah, of course. Okay, well, this is what he had to say. I think you're on the radio, too. Dropping sneakers? Are you trying to show the world how wide your mouth open paws? No, no, what the fuck is you selling? What it's given?
Starting point is 01:10:44 Somebody's saying, it's given. You're not even selling the shoe. Kev, what the fuck is you got? Who's on your marketing team? That's what, first of all, fuck the shoes. Niggas was going to buy the shoes regardless. You didn't have to come up here doing this. That is true.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Yo, bro. You is seven foot one, three, whatever the fuck you is. You're tall. Suther the shoes eating candy apples? This is how this was off. You got to watch for the agenda sometimes, even though this is fake. Because the reality in the situation is if this was real, Ray Ray is right. There's no reason to be eating the candy apple.
Starting point is 01:11:40 You're doing that because you want to do it. You know what I'm saying? Because the first thing you said was, you don't think his mouth can get wide open like that. Yeah. It's crazy. Shout out to KD, man. After seeing this, I was like, so is it like an athlete thing just wants to be, like they're trying to experiment with their sexuality? because...
Starting point is 01:11:59 Taylor, we've already established his fake. I know, but then I... You know, I compared it to Tom Brady with his look, good nut shit. No, no, no, no. It's different with Brady. To him, he tries to throw gay on everything. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 01:12:11 I think it's weird, though. You don't think that's weird a little bit? No, no, because Brady got a drink called good nut. And I know it's coconut water or whatever like that, but it's just... It's a little... It's a little gay, too. Kind of really.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Everybody... It's not just for men. So what? We just got to be miserable. Is that it? It's not just, is that the only way we can be not gay. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 01:12:31 I have no problem with gay. I'm just saying that it's weird. I think you got a problem with gay. I don't. It's not called good nut for men. It's good nuts. But women don't care that much of time. I don't think about men when I think about drinking nut.
Starting point is 01:12:44 This sounds so crazy. When you think about who drinks the most nut in America in the world, historically, come on now. But you're not even saying nut. You're saying coconut. So stop. I think it's gay. No, no. No.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Take it out. Oh, man. Can women have something? No. Like, no. Women, come on, bro. What are we talking about? Historically?
Starting point is 01:13:08 I think historically, I don't know if women have the reputation of like, oh, I want that. I think if they want it, it makes them more special. I mean, they're the ones who have been into the swallowing. I don't know if they invented it. I'll be honest with you. I don't know if they invented it. I think that might have been guys. Ah, bro.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Most things that are. fun and awesome guys in vets. Is that not true? Nah, bro. Yes. Be honest. Like, those things fun and awesome guys. You know, there's very, you know, there's versions of the Bible where it's not an apple.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Yeah. It's a nut. It's a what? It's a nut. There's versions of the Bible where it's not an apple. It's a nut. And who eats it? Eve.
Starting point is 01:13:50 Exactly. And she was told not to eat the nut. And she just couldn't help herself. But what, what? But she couldn't help herself. What version? And the Bible was told not to do it. She was told not to do it.
Starting point is 01:14:00 And she couldn't help herself. Of course, she was different. She wouldn't, no. All the other women were not eating. No, but she set the tone. So every woman after her just can't resist swallowing that nut. I've got to have it. Even if God tells me, no, I'm going to put it in my mouth and swallow it.
Starting point is 01:14:17 And that's what made her so special. You see what I'm saying? But that's women. No, that's women. That's a special trait. That's woman. No, there's two things that Eve did that set the tone for women throughout society. Exactly. This is I wanted to do with the next?
Starting point is 01:14:29 Listen. This better be a high. There's two things that women did to set the tone for themselves for the rest of their lives. Eve did this. What are the two things Eve did? What am I looking at? You're not listening. I can't by looking at this.
Starting point is 01:14:41 You see this? I don't want to see it. That was crazy. Is that real or AI? No, it's real. But what is it? I see him at sleep time. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Taylor, you'd be fucking with Chris. You just be Googling wild Asian shit just to send to Chris. Because that is crazy. It's a facial. There's two things Eve did that set the tone for women for the rest of life. One, she did not listen, okay? God told her not to do something, and she still did it. They just did not listen.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Do women listen? No. Okay. Men don't listen. Two. What's that I have to do with women? Two, in the original version of the Bible, swallowed a nut. I had tuned out.
Starting point is 01:15:28 I don't know you were talking about. What else we got, Taylor? You were like this. I just want people to know that you should believe me even when I'm lying. Exactly. Brewery and any listeners will know exactly what I was just lying about.
Starting point is 01:15:45 But there'll be some Christian website that will clip me and say that I say it in the original version of the Bible. Eve swallowed the nut. And they'll be like, what version of the Bible is this? Charlemagne, the blasphemous God.
Starting point is 01:16:01 But, very end of the listeners know that trust me, even when I'm lying. Believe me, even when I'm lying. What do you? I think this was fake. No, that's got me. That's what I said. I thought it was fake, but. I watched this shit in Manxie.
Starting point is 01:16:11 This was fake. Comedian viciously booed off stage at Indianapolis Helium Comedy Club, bottles and objects thrown during performance. Like, play it. I don't even know what he's talking about that made them do this. Yeah. They say he was talking about some rap of that dial. God bless the dead to that brother.
Starting point is 01:16:25 He just kept getting this one. Oh, shit. What? That's what I got, though. I never. If that was really. If that was. really happening to you, you'd leave the stage. You wouldn't turn around like you're in the
Starting point is 01:16:37 Blaewicz Project and post up like that. It looked like he was just giving up cheeks immediately. Like he just gave up. He was like, it didn't look like that. Like play the fresh play. You look like, oh, fuck. I'm only going to get out here a lot if I give up the cheeks. Watch, watch. Oh, shit, watch. He drops the mic. Put the mic down. And say, even how he dropped it. Take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. But I'm not. But I'm Pending Novel. What's his name? Comedian Calamar. Calamar.
Starting point is 01:17:11 What is it? Click his name. It's right there, Tim. Give him a shout out at least. Comedian. Calamar White. Comedian Calamar White. Was that the Helium Comedy Club. Somebody tell me if this was real.
Starting point is 01:17:23 It looks fake, but I want to know if it was real. I've only seen this clip of it. What else we got there? Let's do some asking idiots, mate. Okay. Undiscore M.B. Let's do some asking idiots. underscore MB 52 underscore says, if you both got arrested together today,
Starting point is 01:17:39 what do you think people would think y'all did? Ooh, that's a good fucking question. What do you think, Shokes? If both, if we both got arrested together today, what do you think people would think y'all did? We both got arrested today. I don't think it's anything violent. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Insider trading. taxes. The fuck what I'd be doing inside of trading? You got a tip from one of your... I didn't say what you would do. It's what they would think that we did. Charlemagne and Andrew Shultz get arrested. It's not like we're robbing a bank.
Starting point is 01:18:22 It's not like we're beating someone up. Like, what could it be? Lovers quarrel. It's a mess of dispute amongst each other. But we can't both get arrested for that. Yes, we could. Not if we fight each other. We're men.
Starting point is 01:18:34 They would arrest both of us. But it's not assault if we're assaulting each other. Huh? If it's a fight with we're both throwing punches, it's not assault. But somebody just saw us and called the police and said two people who were fighting. All right, I can see. They take us to fucking jail, mug shots. Andrew Shores and the guy got into a fistfighter.
Starting point is 01:18:52 They believed something y'all said that was that y'all were playing with and then y'all got arrested. Don't put that out there. Not under this administration. They'd be like, nope, nope, nope, I thought you was an ally. Right. Like, hell no. You never know. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:14 I don't know. I don't know what they would think. I don't know what they would think, but I know they would make some shit up. Yeah. Hey, by the way, fuck what we got arrested for. Just going online, seeing what people said we got arrested for would be more entertained. That would definitely be more than that.
Starting point is 01:19:29 Because these motherfuckers do not care nowadays. Ivia, what is that? Iwea Don said. Oh. With half of 26 past, what movies and albums have stuck with are stood out to you? I don't know if this came out in this year, but I just saw Project Hail Mary. By it? Phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Really? I haven't seen it. Phenomenal. I haven't seen it. I went to go see Supergirl. Oh, yeah. I saw Supergirl yesterday. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:20:02 I heard it. I heard it was not a, well, what did you think? I thought it was garbage. Really that bad. Oh, man. Sucked like Kevin Durant with a fucking candy apple. That shit was terrible. Why did you think it was bad?
Starting point is 01:20:20 It just wasn't good. Like my, my four-year-old, 10-year-old and 7-year-old, like, with their kids. You know what I'm saying? So all of the action and the flying around, like my four-year-old was like, that was epic. Yeah. And so I didn't even,
Starting point is 01:20:35 couldn't be dad in that moment I just like yeah I was great whispered my wife that shit sucked my wife thought it was alright it was just everything
Starting point is 01:20:44 the plot like just when I was getting on the DC train just when I was thinking like DC had turned the corner it's like ugh the plot
Starting point is 01:20:53 but you know I don't they set Supergirl up for failure from the beginning why women should be outraged about how they set up Supergirl this is how I know women don't even care
Starting point is 01:21:02 no more but Superman right? Pretty good movie. We could say it was a pretty good movie. How did they introduce you to Supergirl? Not her coming in to help Clark. She's drunk with the bad guys.
Starting point is 01:21:16 You know, not coming in on some super heroic shit. When you're like, oh, shit, you see what she just did? Like, remember when Captain Marvel came through an endgame and fucked up the plane, I mean, fucked up Thanos' shit. Supergirl comes in drunk and shit. Don't want to take care of responsibilities. Left her fucking dog with Superman. So you're like, why do fuck?
Starting point is 01:21:34 Who is this dysfunctional motherfucker? And that's how the Supergirl starts. She's still dysfunctional awesome Hancock shit. Like, don't really, feel like she don't really want to be a superhero. Go into planets where they don't have a yellow son so she can get drunk. Yeah. And then the whole movie kind of revolves around her dog. Like, they show you this ill scene in the beginning where there's this young girl who witnesses her family get killed and she wants revenge.
Starting point is 01:22:01 So you're thinking that's what's going to motivate Supergirl to really get. shit popping. But it's because when the girl comes to try to get somebody to help her and then, you know, her and Supergirl connect at some point, one of the bad guys who needs another ship because his ship got destroyed, comes to steal Supergirl's ship, and shoots fucking the dog with a tranquilizer. You don't even care about your dog. I do. Shoot the dog with a fucking tranquilizer. And in my mind, I'm just like, why does the Supergirl just take the dog to a fucking planet with a yellow moon. Because when Supergirl's on a yellow moon
Starting point is 01:22:38 and she gets poison, none of that shit affects her. But instead, she goes chasing after the fucking alien. Like, the shit is just... Yeah. So the dog has, like, three days to live. And so she has to track down these aliens to get the antidote. So the guy, the same guys that shoot with the tranquilizers also carrying
Starting point is 01:22:56 the antidote on them. Like, the whole plot it just wasn't enough stakes. Yeah. And then they kind of jumped around a lot. Which I didn't really like... And then you, you know, got the backdrop of them he's trafficking girls. Oh, yeah. How are all of these guys trafficking girls, but that's like a C-story in the movie?
Starting point is 01:23:14 Yeah. The dog. I got to go save my dog. Yeah. Like, there was one point where the other girl, I can't remember her name, the one that had to had to remind Supergirl that the girls were still trapped in the fucking cage. This shit is, the shit's so bad, they don't even got a post-credit scene. Really?
Starting point is 01:23:33 I don't know what James Gummer. was thinking. James Gundow... He didn't make it. He didn't? No. That's why. That says me everything I need to fucking know. Yeah. I mean, if it's James Gundon missed. That's what I was... I was thoroughly disappointed. You don't miss. That shit. But he's, I guess, the head of all DC, so maybe he's the one who's like...
Starting point is 01:23:49 He's like Kevin Feigy now. Yes. Like, he still has a say in everything that happens, but he's not the one. Well, they should have scrapped that shit. The same way they scrapped Bat Girl, you know they're supposed to do a Bat Girl. They filmed it. They filmed it and everything. I did a movie with that girl. Poor Girl, man. They should have scrapped Supergirl. That shit. was garbage. Not bad.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Yeah. I wanted to like it, but it wasn't. That shit was not good at all. So which I don't... Supergirl? Yeah. I'm a superwoman. That's very true.
Starting point is 01:24:16 I don't know what movies and albums. No, it's Wonder Woman. Supergirl. And she's young. She is young. I think they got to stop. I think until women should prove... Listen.
Starting point is 01:24:28 Why are you laughing, bro? I didn't even say it. I didn't say that, man. I didn't say it. Anytime you start a series, they got to stop women. It's going to be funny. No, I'm just real. I think until women prove they care about comic books, they got to stop trying to make movies for them.
Starting point is 01:24:46 I agree. Women care about, like, housemaids. Like, they want a, they want, like, a hot housemaid. He's right. No. So why you didn't go see Supergirls? Can I tell you? I didn't even know it was out.
Starting point is 01:24:56 Can I say one thing? Can I say one thing? Women love, like, a girl who cleans shit. And then a rich guy. We love a man that clean shit. Can I just get it out? Can I just get it out? They love a girl who cleans shit and then a rich guy takes interest in them and then makes
Starting point is 01:25:13 her rich. That's like the dream movie for women. No matter what the plot is, it's kind of like that, right? There we have one. Cinderella. No, we have one with Maiden. Pretty woman. Pretty woman.
Starting point is 01:25:25 What was they love? Made in Manhattan. Made in Manhattan. The other maid, the housemaid, the handmade. Everything that works for women is a maid. And that's not even on us. That's on y'all. Y'all want to be made.
Starting point is 01:25:37 I don't know what it is. But according to the data, if we don't have made in the title, y'all won't see it. Maybe you've got to combine the two. Maybe the superhero's alter ego should be a maid. A maid.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Tide it up. Supermaid would be fires. Supermaid. Wonder made. Wonder made. Iron made. Iron made. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:26:00 These are all movies. Spider made. The incredible. There we go. Mighty Maid. And we're just watching... Captain Maid. What can the girl do?
Starting point is 01:26:08 Black maid. I'm... Hey. Tell me a whoop. Tell me a movie. Hey, Black Maid. They already made that, though. It's called The Help.
Starting point is 01:26:18 I didn't want to say it. I didn't want to say it. But you tell me a movie where the woman is a maid in the movie flops. Things that make you say. You got a point. It doesn't happen. And if you don't, it sound good. That's the answer.
Starting point is 01:26:33 That's on fire. I kind of believe him. Every movie where the woman is a maid, the women love it. There's something like... That's not sexism talk. That's not sexism. Tell me this. Tell me this.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Tell me this. How is it sexism if that's the only movies you'll watch? That's not the only movie we watch. Name a movie that's not a maid. We do watch Marvel though. Name a movie where you're not a maid where you watch it. Name a movie where you're not a maid where you watch it. Oh, there's a few.
Starting point is 01:27:01 Just name one. start at one. I'm trying to think of certain movies I've seen. Isn't this crazy? Hold on. You don't want to call me sexist and you can't in one movie when you're not a man. Thanks.
Starting point is 01:27:13 Because I always seen, you're talking about women. I've seen a lot more guy movies. Hey, this is kind of crazy. I don't know. I googled, well, I asked Chad GBT, give me some box office numbers for movies with made in the title. The House Made with Sidney Sweeney and Amanda Safe Free. 300 million.
Starting point is 01:27:29 $3005 million. They're already making it too. Go on. Keep going. The help. 213.1 million. Boom. Made in Manhattan.
Starting point is 01:27:37 How much is it? 154.9 million. Give me another one. That's really all. No, oh, that's just with the... That's all you need. That's what the term made in the title. Oh, shit, you're right.
Starting point is 01:27:48 If you want to talk about the plot having to do something with a maid... How long? It's every movie. That's not true. Sex in the city. They weren't no maids in there. That's not a movie. It is a movie.
Starting point is 01:27:58 It started a TV show. Don't count. Start as a TV. Movies. That have maids in the movie. That's true. Mrs. Daufeier was a maid. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:28:07 And that's a man. Can you shut up? It's true, though. I'm in London because it's made in it. Women will not support a movie unless there's a woman cleaning up. If a woman is not cleaning up. What about Barbie? What about it?
Starting point is 01:28:20 There's no maid in Barbie. The president was a woman, too, by the word. Gotta be a maid in Barbie. No, there wasn't. Yo, this is kind of crazy. There wasn't. Okay, parasite, over 260 million. What does the mom do?
Starting point is 01:28:36 Housekeeper and domestic workers are central to the plot. Thank you. Wow. Shit, I forgot about that. And that rocks the cradle. Come on, did you tell me? 140 million. Whenever I sound sexes, it just so happens to be right.
Starting point is 01:28:50 The Nanny Diaries, $48 million. Yo, Spanglish. No, that had to have a maid in it. I'm not people working for a wealthy family. $55 million. Wow. It says Hollywood doesn't make many films centered on domestic workers, but the ones that connect with audiences often do very well because they tap into universal themes. Class differences, racial, inequality, family dynamics, and identity. That's chat. CBT being kind and polite. Suspense from intimate access to wealthy households.
Starting point is 01:29:24 Women only support a movie where their woman is a maiden. That's not true. I just told you Barbie. All right. All right, bro. I'm going to tell you something. There's something to this. It says while there have only been a handful, roughly 10 mainstream theatrical movies with maids or domestic workers at the center of the story, four have become major box office hits, suggesting the premise itself isn't a commercial obstacle.
Starting point is 01:29:46 That's your superhero. Damn. Captain Marvel made 1.1.1. A superhero movie for us, the ideal superhero movie, right, is a regular person that shouldn't be able to do extraordinary shit ends up having superpowers and they can do extraordinary shit.
Starting point is 01:30:01 i.e. fucking Captain America, skinny little twink, and then he gets to superpowers, then he gets to do it. A woman's dream is cleaning shit up and then becomes super rich and doesn't have to clean shit no more. That is it. Captain Marvel was the cleanup woman in the day. What happened?
Starting point is 01:30:19 Everything was a mess. Everything was a fucking mess. And she came through and blew the fucking ship up. And she really did. So you're talking about that type of cleanup, then that's different. I'm just telling you, yo. I think that women are smart enough to use metaphor. I think so
Starting point is 01:30:34 That's crazy That's crazy Taylor I didn't want to agree with him But I don't You think I want to be right That was crazy You think I want to be right about this shit That's crazy yo
Starting point is 01:30:45 Ain't no maids and Supergirl What about what's that movie with Zendaya Doon? Is that what it is? Dune yeah Didn't that make She wasn't? She wasn't?
Starting point is 01:30:58 That wasn't a woman letting me That's men Go to see that shit. types of movies. I'm just telling you, every time men try to make a male movie for women, if Mama Mia wasn't one. Hunger Games. Mama Mia definitely would have had a made. Hello, Hunger Games. She was no, the woman was not a leading to the house before she got chosen. That was her thing. She was a maid. Yeah. She wasn't cleaning the house. Yes, she was. Yeah. Taking care of a little sister and cleaning the house. I didn't ask her clean the house. You're taking care of a little sister.
Starting point is 01:31:30 and she was hunting. That's what she was doing. She was cleaning up, man's work of hunting. She was doing her duties, bro. Listen. I've never seen Hunger Games. Do you never seen any of them? No, that's fine.
Starting point is 01:31:41 They're making a new one, though. Let's do one more. Brian underscore Rowlia 710 says, how many back shots can you take for peace on the earth what everyone would know? Alex. I did not mean to put that in there. I just asked you a question.
Starting point is 01:31:57 I don't understand. You are questions. No, you're asking no. room. How many backshots could you take for peace on this earth, but everyone would know? Yeah, man, war. That's crazy. You wouldn't give up your butt for some war? For peace? Wait, wait. How many backshots
Starting point is 01:32:12 would you take for peace? That's not, you can't frame the question like that. How many backshots can you take for peace on the earth? Yeah, but they have to frame it like, would you take 100 backshots for peace? He's asking you. He wanted to know how gay you are, so he's asking you, how many would you take? So I get to dictate how many people's peace? Yeah. None.
Starting point is 01:32:28 So you don't want peace. No, no, no. I'm dictating that we don't even need a back shot. No, no, no. There has to be back shots for you to get peace. But how many back shots can you take for peace on the earth but everyone would know? One. One.
Starting point is 01:32:44 One. It's one little piece. You want to give up peace for peace? That's great. I think a piece for a piece. How many would you take? Yes. Um.
Starting point is 01:32:52 Um. I got to see the dig first. Hey. What hell? See, y'all just answered, that's why I know y'all gay, because y'all just answered the question. You know what I'm saying? Y'all don't even give a fuck with the size.

Starting point is 01:33:15 You wouldn't want to see his peace for peace. To me, you wouldn't want to see his peace for peace for peace. Seeing children around the world die, seeing children starve. But those same kids will tease you when they get older. Okay, those same kids will grow up and will not recognize the sacrifice that you made was them. Those same kids will be like, yo, that's the homie who took the...
Starting point is 01:33:32 That's not sure. You don't think more kids would probably do it then? What? What do you keep this same, right? Yo, get on you. Because it was... No, stop the episode.
Starting point is 01:33:42 Hey, let's start the next episode. As always, you know. As Christ, this girl's Chris. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're in tough things. Absolutely crazy. But if you listen to this podcast
