Tell me why you sad, Hesi. Because y'all got Taylor pretending to have COVID so she don't come into the podcast, man. She got COVID? Taylor's here. Taylor's here, but she's producing. She's producing. That's right. She's here.

Like, she's literally here. Like, as we're talking, she's listening to us talking. She produced some antibodies They had that fucking Delta. She had two tests already But she's negative. Okay. Contrae, wax is here.

Wax. Contrae, the popular belief. COVID's still out here in these streets, bro. It's out here in these streets, man. I thought it was over. You said what? I thought it was over. Nah, no, no, no, no.

It's hard to act like it. It's over for me. I'm Vaxed. If you're not Vaxed, you got to worry about it. I see you guys walk in with your little mask. No, even if you still waxed. Nah, I don't use a mask. You take something.

I was in South Carolina all last week for vacation. Okay. And I went to the, I was at the Tanger Outlets. Do you an outlet shopping? Well, I didn't go. My, my, my good sister, Angela Rye was down, and she took my daughter and my niece. And so I was just, you know, I'm paranoid. So I was like, you know, let me be here with the weapons, right?

So I'm following them around and shit like that. And I'm sitting down and this white dude sits by me, old white dude. And he goes, he's South Carolina. So he's still wearing a mask, huh? I'm like, oh, God, where is this going? Have you been vexed? I'm like, where is this going, you know what I mean? You're like, you're still wearing a mask, huh?

I said, yeah, yeah, still wearing a mask. He goes, yeah, you vaxed? I go, nah, I'm not vaxed. He goes, how old are you? I said, 43. He goes, yeah, if I was your age, I wouldn't have got vaccinated. I said, I said, you vac, he said, yeah, yeah, got both of them. I said, what you got?

He said, the Moderna. I said, why are you saying you wouldn't get vaccinated? He was like, I don't know what's in this shit. He was like, we don't know what's in this shit. He was like, fucking December, I could be dead because of this shit. That's true. I don't know what the fuck's going on. That's true.

He's right. It's pissed off that they got it. It's fucked up. Nobody's pissed off. We're heroes. Y'all are pussy. Y'all are scared. Like, we had to open up the country.

So the heroes went out. We put our life on the line and risk so you guys can go to work. You're welcome. We are soldiers, bro. Yeah. Like, honestly, I think non-vax people need to say thank you to people like us. I really appreciate you. No, I did. I did.

I'm not lying. I do. When I saw that it took 70% of the country to get vaccinated, salute to the 70%. That's what we do. Y, got bigger ball. That's right. 85 South Show got 85% of the N-O-I got 5% of the Senate. I salute to all the 70% of the United States of America.

Thank you for getting back. You're welcome. So the rest of us don't have to. We got to look out for the little homies. By the way, I've never been vaccinated for nothing in my life. That's a lot. You can't even go to public school If you don't have vaccination

They vaccinate the hell out of it. If you don't remember that it happened? Yes. No, man, it's true. We can all drop dead, but we did it for y'all. I appreciate you. We got to, in all seriousness, we got to open up the country, man.

What about lab rats? Y'all forgot about lab rats and shit like that? Why do you let them get it first? They did. You don't think they tried it on that? Why do you think all lab rats are white, bro? You right? Because we're the guinea pigs.

Anyway, point is, yeah, go get Vax if you want and if you don't get Vax. I don't even know why it's that. If you scared, don't get vax. But if you die COVID after not getting vaxed, I don't want to hear you crying about it. That's what you die from COVID? I don't want to hear you crying about it.

If you died for COVID, if you died from the shot. You're like, I told you don't cry about it. You pointed out of death. No. You bring up a good point, though. It should all, it should be about choice. You're allowed to choose, bro. That's it. You're allowed to choose.

But you're not allowed to bitch and cry. So birth control. This is birth control. Yeah. What do you mean? Because you know how. if girls have birth control and none of them is okay,

but if they don't, like, and they still let you have sex. It's like, that's not the point of birth control. It's a bad. Birth control is prevent pregnancy, but you're still not supposed to have unprotected.

Yeah, you're not supposed to have unprotected face masks, I'm saying? We all here, bare face and shit, and we ain't, we ain't got the fucking vaccine.

You following this? I'm just. Taylor, we miss you, yo. No, no, no,

no, no, we really. I don't you understand. The vaccine, the vaccine is the birth control. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so if you don't take the, uh,

Oh, I hear, no, he's actually making sense. Yeah, no shit. The mask is the condom vaccine is the birth control. So you can either take the birth control or wear the mask. Absolutely. Exactly, but don't bitch about both. And if you get pregnant, that's on you. But the reason that's not taking the birth control.

But it don't make no sense because even if the girl is on birth control, if you still have unprotected sex with it, what about STDs? What about them? They got other things like AIDS. They got other things like the flu. What about FD's. Yeah, but if you're faithful and your girl's faithful, you'll be good. Yeah, your girl.

Wax, you've been putting some work in with those. Oh, yeah, I was. I was on the farm this week. Him shit need a vaccine. That's how I was about to be. Him shit need a vaccine. Him should have took the vaccine. It is current.

Yo, your Tim's are crazy, bro. Why do you do that the attention? I don't know. I go out there to the farm and I just be out there working and stuff. And then by the time I get them like a non-work Tim? No, I, no, I fuck them up every single time. I mean, they look crazy, bro. And he just got to.

I just got those like two weeks ago. I don't know, bro. No, this is literally this weekend on the farm. You're just trying to keep calling busy, bro. You don't keep to the stove for the stay. Oh, he's trying to stay out the house. Sometimes we do do that, right? Sometimes you realize you have to fix something alcohol

at me with these shit. Keep her confidence. I was doing the lawn. This shit is really stupid, man. I want to, can we talk about entitlement a little bit? Yeah, let's talk about entitlement, man. Just a little bit, right? I really just want to tell this generation of young people,

not even just young people, because it's some adults, middle-aged people that are the same way. Bro, nobody owes you anything. You don't, you're not, you're not, you're not, I can't even say you're deserving of anything. I don't think any of us are deserving of anything. You get what you work for, but I think that this generation has a problem with said work.

I don't know if they know what work actually looks. And why is that? Why is it this generation specifically? Or do we think every generation after us is lazier? Like, you know, our parents are like, you know, like we take the bus to school and our parents is like, I used to crawl to school. I think it's a cell phone and microwave that fucked them up.

What do you mean? Everything is so fast for them. So they expect them and they don't want it to work for food. Everything in life is so convenient for them. I think a lot of- Why not this job? Why not this fucking make it paid more? Yeah, but just that something's convenient for you doesn't mean that you deserve it.

You know? I don't, I don't feel like I'm deserving of anything. You know, do you think it's social media where like you, it seems like you see an inflated amount of people like you succeeding? So you're like, well, I should be doing that. Whereas our generation, we only grew up with our friends around us. So as long as our friends weren't, whoa. That's crazy. I don't know.

What happened? That was an earthquake. It was New York. I have no clue what that was. I don't know either. I thought it was him. It felt like it was in the next room, though. I know.

I sent. that about a minute ago. I think that's my vaccine. I got like spider sensors. Maybe goddamn somebody turned juvenile back that ass up and Mark is in there like that that's shit up. The fact Mark is shaking his ass. This crazy. Someone's on the roof. Somebody's working.

That's the roof. I think it's on the roof. I think that's Mark working. Cut that shit out. But what were you saying? You was talking about social media making people feel. Oh yeah, yeah. Like you see so many people that are supposed to be just like you, but they're in these higher positions. They're succeeding.

They're doing all this crazy shit. Tentil and fingers. Exactly, right? But they're supposed to be just like you. When it was our generation, it was you and your friends. And you guys were on the same level. When you all went to college, everybody went to college. If you were in high school, if you fail the test, they failed tests, everybody's good.

If they didn't fail a test and you did, you felt like an asshole. So maybe this generation just sees an inflated amount of success. And they're like, well, I should have that too. I agree with that. I agree with that. I think that's a fantastic point. and I'll expound on that with social media and it says social media gives you an audience.

You talk about how all we had was our friends, very true. Now these guys got 1,000 followers, 10,000 followers. Yo, what's the furniture moving going on, bro? Some furniture moving going on. What the hell's happening out here? It's sound like somebody getting caught by their girl and they're running. He's trying to hide.

That sounds somebody fighting. Yeah, he's getting chased by his girl. Yeah, my trip. That sounds like somebody was doing some real, Furniture moving, bro. And somebody was losing. When you start hearing that much furniture moving, somebody getting their ass kicked

and they're trying to get out the way. Yeah. So I ain't a man running from his wife. What was that? Oh. Okay. All right. Well, but no, we were saying is...

Even they're not supposed to shoot in the roof, but they feel entitled that they could do absolutely anything. Millennials, probably some of fucking millennials up there with no fucking permit. nothing like that. Absolutely nothing. But no, it's like, yeah, people have an audience. Causing mayhem.

We would never do such a thing. We would never shoot anything on the roof over here. We got certificates. We got insurance. We got everything we need. We pay for our permits. Exactly. Listen, if you got double-digit followers on social media,

if you got 100 people, like, I was fucking with Naila yesterday. Nile is definitely not one of these entitled millennials. Nile's great. But she was talking to 36 people. Her and Wax. Talking to 36 people on it. Instagram live. That's the crazy shit.

But they were giving it up. They had gospel music playing. I'm like, man, anybody at this church? I was trying to get her to do a gospel mix because, you know, every time you're talking about it. It was the top 10. Top 10.

It was like, damn, just hip hop. I don't just listen to hip hop. Listen to gospel. So I want mine. Yeah, but y'all weren't talking to nobody is my point. I get it. It was. You know, how many people is.

Let's see. How many people is Instagram live ridiculous at? I've seen some stupid numbers. Six. Doing verses. Like if this. I've seen some verses. No, but we're talking about versions.

It's a regular if somebody get up there on live. I'm talking about regular Instagram. At what point do you got to shut down the Instagram live? Bro. If you have less than 10 people, you got to shut that. Word of that. Oh, you mean stuff like that. I just group chat.

I've seen people live talking to one person. I'm like, call that motherfucker. Literally. That's FaceTime. That's FaceTime. And by the way, you can bring more people on FaceTime nowadays. 100%. Which I didn't know.

I just found that out the other day. Under 10, you look crazy. You look stupid as hell. Under 10. But guess what? Sometimes all it takes is 10. Because think about it. about when we was in high school.

It's only one. All you need is one person to gash you up. That's it. That's it. Go ask her out. Listen, that's it. I had, all I need is one person to go along with whatever dumb shit I was doing. Anything.

Let's stop the store. Anything. And it ain't no stopping me now. Ain't no stopping us now. Like, all I need is one person to gas me up. Yeah, hit him with that lock. Yo, maybe that's why people do such stupid shit. This is just way more people gassing them up. That's it.

That's all it is. They got hype, man. They got crazy. That's all it is. That's why you see these people online. literally all it takes is a few people to gash you up and make you think you are

something that you're not. It's just really that simple. It's like really making people think that there's something that they're not. Only take one girl to make you think that you got a little meat though. All the girls, but oh, you got a big meet. One girl so you got a little meat you fucked up. Yeah, the negative shit sticks to us for long. Way long.

That's a fact. That's a fact. But that's why the funny part about anybody who, you know, initially might get a lot of love. You ever be looking at them and you'd be like, oh, bless their little heart. They don't even know how this shit going to turn on him. That's how social media does. They'll love you in the beginning.

Oh, man. That's some real southern shit that he just did. That's right. That fake kindness. Bless his little heart. Bless it out. Bless your little heart. Fuck you me.

No, we don't do that. What's my little heart, man. But when northerners go down to the south, we think that y'all are being nice when you say like that. Oh, that's the worst thing you can say to this. So you just said, fuck you. God bless you. Yeah.

I really cursed you. God bless you. You don't see that with up-and-coming comedians, though. I'm going to pray for you. You don't see like a new comedian and you see that they got that new car smell and they're all happy. They have, like, you have no idea.

You know how to hear it. Wood awakening. Only if there's arrogance tied to it. This causes the arrogance. Yeah. This shit right here will make you think you're better than what you already are. You ain't ready yet.

You know why you don't see it with comedians? a lot of times because the stage is humbling. Like, you, you're gonna bomb. You can't avoid a bomb. Bombing happens. Yeah? So the state, yes, the stage is humbling. But before that humbling,

they on this shit making motherfuckers die. But that's why that shit right there gives the inflated sense of ego. Yes. Like, if you're on stage, you're bombing. They'll stay there, though. They won't go on stage. That's why it's easy to go that way.

Yeah. It's easy to stay on there. It's easy to do things on there. Everybody fucking loves you. In the negative comments, you just delete them shit. That's right. You can't delete a boo.

That's right. You gotta deal with that shit of real time. You can't filter that shit out. Imagine you can't filter that. You can't on stage. So you're really in prison on stage. That's right. And I mean, I hate to sound like the old guy, but I am.

You know, I come from an era where you really had to earn that attention. Literally. You had to earn those motherfucking. You had to fuck the likes. You had to earn people liking you. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I don't care you beat up the bully, whatever you did.

You had to learn it from somewhere. Yeah. And that's why I disconnect from this shit so much because I don't ever want this thing right here that smartphone, that social media to influence my thoughts and my words, because it will. There's nobody that's exempt from it. If you spend too much time on it,

it's going to impact you or affect you in some way, shape, or form. You know what's crazy about it is that not only the people, but like the algorithm and the rules of social media, like if all the content's going on social media, right, and then social media decides, we don't like curse words in our content. That shifts how common.

exists. That's right. Right. That's how music exists. Like, you start writing the lyrics to your songs differently because you know the only way that shit is going to splash. That's right. Is if it, so those people, these nerds that are at these social media companies, they could dictate culture. That's right. They could dictate music. They say no twerking. So I was just about saying, if certain dancers are too sexual, they go go, no. And then all of a sudden, choreographers are like, well, I want to be famous. I'm not going to start twerking. There you go. Wow. That's a lot of power. Isn't that kind of crazy? So much power.

I want you to add the audio of T. Payne because T. Payne was talking about how we already got a little baby. We already got a baby. We already got. I forgot who else he named. But he was like, we need y'all to be original. You know when your shit sounds like somebody else's shit. You're making it because you think, because you're in the studio like, what's the number one record right now? We need to make another one of those.

Stop doing that. Original. Give me some original shit. Give me some. Are you seriously telling me? me that you sat here and watch me tell a bitch to eat a dick and you thought that wasn't original? Are you seriously sitting here telling me that eat a dick is the bad part of music? Just do some different music. We have all the shit that you're doing. We already have it.

Little Uzi Verde is already doing it. Little baby is already doing it. The baby is already doing it. It's literally two niggas with Bailey in their names that's already doing out of the music you want. Do something else. Do something else. That's it. That's all we want. Do something else.

Holy shit. To your point, it's hard to be original when you see something working. When you see something working for somebody, you're like, oh, shit, well, let me make some music like that. I'm a baby too. I'm a baby too. I'm a rap like that. You know what I'm saying? That's exactly what all.

all of this shit is. We're all walking around being human algorithms and don't even fucking know it. It's so true because we're just drawing a success of whatever's going to work. That's it. But what's interesting is the people that usually pop off, especially out of nowhere, are doing something unique. That's right.

It's scary to do that shit. I mean, but yo. They're scared. It is for people like, I don't know. I like going in that lane that actually kind of grosses me out to like copy certain people and do their things because why do it?

But I understand. the person that isn't willing to do that because they might have bills to pay, they got kids to feed, they got a, how do I continue to feed the fucking kids and do that shit? I don't know. I don't, that's why I don't respect everybody's opinion. And the main reason I don't respect everyone. Because you're just going along with what everybody else. Exactly.

Because I come from an arrow where you said things and you didn't care whether somebody agreed or disagreed and that and you had to stand on whatever that thing was. Nowadays, people take the safe route. They look at whatever everybody's talking about. They look at what the popular opinion is. And they just go with that. Yeah. As opposed to crafting their own thoughts and their own ideas about a situation.

That's what I respect. Thinking outside the box. That's right. Because there's easy money. There's short. There's quick money. It's easy money, but it's short money if you just go along with the narrative. That's right.

That's right. And you can sniff when somebody's being authentically. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like it's interesting. Even when like, you know, I see things on social media and they'll be like, Oh, Sholomey is PC to God, right? Yeah, yeah.

I'm cool with that. Okay. Because that's me. That's who I am at this point. What's PC? Man, shut up. You can't even say it. You can't even say it without laughing.

What's PC? Huh? What does PC mean? PC. Never smoked PC? Oh, politically correct. Politically correct. I don't know what that means, right?

But I know I'm being true to myself. I didn't say nothing. This is the devil on the show that's like, no, you're not. That's facts. This is you here. That's fact. Okay. What's going on?

I'll try to drag you back to this political incorrectness once a week on this goddamn podcast, okay? I can't wait to ask you about Black Widow so you can fake tell me. I haven't seen it. I really haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen it. I'm behind. I'm behind on low. I'm on, I think the final episode of Loki.

I tried to get into Loki, man. I tried. The first of the episodes, I fuck with Loki. You liked the first episode? I thought it was regs, the super regs. Well, I can tell you the reasons I like it. The reasons I like it is because they really introduce Marvel Phase 4 in a real way. Like, we know where the world is going.

And now they're about to get into the cosmos and time travel and everything else and Kang the Conqueror. Like, I like that shit. Right. So I fuck with it. I'm getting never got on time. I tried. I really wanted it. Like, I wanted a new show.

I put that shit on. I was like, I don't know. Try naked and afraid is dope. Naked afraid is dope. It's really dope. It's old. Loki does make me think about like, what if there are variants of us? Say what?

What if there are variants of us? Yeah, that could happen. Okay, I'll give Marvel credit in this is they are going after a super abstract idea, which is time travel, right? Especially in the way they're trying to tell it. Like, that shit is tricky, difficult, and confusing. But they, listen, I say this all the time. I don't know who the fuck at Marble.

is putting this shit together, but they laid out a 15, 20-year plan that they are executing to perfection. Yeah. They don't waste nothing. Except for Black Widow. I haven't seen Black Widow yet. So you think it's like two of us?

It's two of everybody. It's really that bad. You're the second person to tell me that. It's really. It's like a men and black, not Menin'Block. What's Mission Impossible movie? Like, it's just all action.

But she's a spy. Yeah, but it's just all action. Like, there's no storyline. There's no funnies. There's no like. Well, she's a spy, though. Yeah, but you know how their movies are so great because it's action and as fun.

There's a great story. Like plot development. Like you understand this character. He's talking about Marvel. Like Marvel is great villain. This is a great storyline. There's no storyline? Like, it is a storyline, but I'm just saying like,

there's no character development. You don't understand why the character is doing what they're doing. Or just say you hate women, Alex. No, that's the thing. That's the thing right here. I liked Wonder Woman. You ain't like that shit. I hated Wonder Woman.

The first one was a right. The second one was garbage. Nah. Wait, man. What? I thought both Wonder Woman's were garbage. I'm not giving you know Somebody he'll edit on Reddit

Chalamy said he thinks women are garbage I told you I was gay He just said women are garbage He's gay and massacionistic I never like Wonder Woman No I got to watch it I got to catch up

What is it about like a female empowerment character that you hate so much I love Captain Marvel Oh I was confusing him Captain Marvel is different than Wonder Woman. Captain Marvel is from Marvel. All women don't look alike. They don't, though?

You know what I'm saying? They don't know. They don't know. Like, come on, bro. What do you mean? I got to watch Black Widow, man. You know what I think might be fuck up Black Widow too? What's that?

The fact that it's out of place. Because Black Widow was supposed to be the first movie after Endgame. And then they were supposed to roll into the TV show. They actually edited a lot of Captain America Win a Soldier because Captain America win a soldier, like Black Widow's sister was in that. Yeah. And they edited that. So a lot of that was supposed to have some synergy.

So they just threw that shit out, essentially. They're like, let's just get this out the way we are. And that's how they fucked up. Because by throwing that out of the original movies, now all of a sudden this bitch got a family. And you don't even know that she had to be a B word. Sorry, my bet. Jesus. She's a character.

She might be a bitch. Like, if you're one of the people she killed, you probably think she's a bitch. This is what we're talking about. This is why we can't have an objective conversation about Black Widow. We wouldn't. Everybody was doing. He didn't see the guy. I bet if it was white widow, she could be a bitch.

You know what I'm saying? I bet if it was white widow, this Karen ass spy out here, you know what I mean? I bet that she could be a bitch then. Did you see that woman in Short Hills Mall, bro? No, what happened? Man, I know you saw that. When she started a person and started crying? Man, that shit was incredible.

You all just learning about white women, bro? No, but we just figuring white women out? We knew this shit existed forever. Very scary. You remember when Levar Ball was on Colin Coward's show, I think it was. The hurt. The hurt. And remember the woman was behind him and he was like, I'm not even looking behind me.

Yeah, I don't want no problems with him. I don't see you. And we were sitting back like, I know exactly what he means. I'm scared. Yeah. Remember we said that? We were like, yo, I'm terrified. As a black man, I'm terrified when a white woman starts acting like that.

And she was like, are you threatening me? And in LaVos said, see, that's what I'm talking about. There we go. That's what I'm talking about. So when you see the woman in short heels more, I can't remember her name. when you see her acting like that, that's what we're terrified of. Ask your workers.

She tried to hit me. She tried to hit me. Now I want security for you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You should have thought about that before you did what you did. I didn't try to hit you. Please don't record me.

Y'all got to get security. She charged me. If I wanted a doc, she would. Oh, no. Oh, no. You just want a security. for me, right? I want security for you now. No, don't cry.

I'm scared. I'm scared of that. You don't get this alone. Really? Yeah. We're also terrified. Stop me. Tell me your trauma. No way. Come on. A hundred percent. Yeah. We play games with that shit. Come on.

White women are crazy. You didn't know this? Listen, I rather be around a bunch of black dudes with guns. Say what? I'd rather be around a bunch of black dudes with guns is one of those. Well, You'd rather be around a bunch of black dudes with guns than one white woman. One white Karen to act like that, for sure.

She's way more dangerous. I'm going to sit here and say those are equal opportunity dangerous. No, because I've been around it. And I felt no way. I'd rather be around the Karen because I understand how to navigate the. Karen, you'd rather be around those black dudes because you understand how to navigate it. I have no problem. I've been around it all week and have no problems at all.

And I didn't feel away. Her, if she even came through and walked past, everybody would have looked with guns on them. And he said nobody looked like that. Somebody said to me yesterday, what would I have done in that situation? And I thought about it. I'm like, if the girl, if she falls and she's acting like that, because my mind is I'm going to run away. But if I'm the black guy running away from that situation, I'm getting hurt, right?

And she didn't say anything. So I said, you know what I would do? Got to tape it, bro. I'm going to jump down to break dance with her. No. I'm going to get on the floor. I'm going to start spinning. No, but they're going to be trying to fight her.

No, I'm going to do my social distancing. But I'm going to start break dancing too. You got to do. She stopped doing her legs like this. I'm going to start doing that shit too. That might be aggressive for them, though. No. It looks like the Euro Cup.

Bro, that shit is insane. No, you got to do what she did. You got to take for real. Bro, that shit is insane to me. Yeah, dude. This is what it is. They can cry on spot. But you can't do that, though.

That's dangerous. It is. You take somebody whole life like that. What? Crying on spot. Doing that bullshit right there. I know, dude. Here's the thing that I want to ask that young woman.

Yeah. Why? Why? Because she can't. Man. Because when white chicks fuck up, they realize they fuck up, and then they realize if they play victim, then nobody talks about what they did.

Not at all. So it's a convenient manipulation strategy. It's you do something wrong, and then it's, but I feel like this and why have you done that? I'm getting excited. Not right now. I got anxiety. So now all of a sudden, you're the victim.

Yeah. And fucking Charlemagne done told everybody they got anxiety. So now we got to do that from everybody. I start using it. When I was about to get pulled over. Yo, sir, I got anxiety right now. That is, though. What?

I'm used to this shit now. That's trauma, bro. When the police pull you over? I just feel like he's a criminal. They're supposed to. They're supposed to pull him over. The police are feeling trauma. Leave me alone.

Leave me alone. It's still trauma. You got trauma from all the times you've been pulled over. Plus just generational trauma of that shit just going through our bodies and our veins. from, so I was literally, I bought a book last week called Slave Patrol that talks about the history of slave patrols in the Carolinas and how it correlates with the police now. But you know what's crazy? The whole, generational trauma, bro. You know, how they hire people for that?

You know, every time I drive for slave patrol. You hate niggers? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, chill out, dude. That's the interview process. I'm just saying like, you're not hired. Right. You didn't answer with a third. Yeah.

Just the hesitation. That should feel uncomfortable. But listen, every time I drive, though, and I see them. In general, with the slave patrol, like, how did they hire the white guys to do that? I haven't, though. I didn't have a group that- That lived together, and he probably raised them to be like that. Say again?

I haven't started reading the book. You didn't start reading it? I'm just saying, like, you're in the woods, right? So it's not like you can, like, take a car or anything like that. Like, you got to chase these guys. Yes. You know, so, like, who's going to catch the black guy? Well, that's what it's for.

It literally was for slaves who would run off the plantation. Yeah, but how did you guys ever get caught? It's a mite. Slave patrols, bought in violence in Virginia in the Carolina's by Sally E. Haddon. So when you drive and you see them, don't you already have something in your head what you're wondering about to say

if they pull you over? No. I've talked about this a million times. I pull over to the side of the road and let them pass me. Always. I don't, I don't want the interaction. Please let the gas station be somewhere,

a store complex. I don't want the interaction. I don't want the interaction. What do you do? Who? You just. Whatever it is. I don't care of his Victoria's secret.

I'm pulling over in there. That's exactly where Abigail was that. And you do that and you do that because you've had these horrible racial experiences. You also seen so many on video. It's a 90-10 chance that he's going to fuck with me. That's right. And not 50-50s. I've never had a horrible racial experience.

But you've seen so many on video. That's right. Now do you understand why white people cross the street when they see you guys? No. No. We are not. They've seen a lot of video. No.

A lot of videos. They've seen a lot of videos. So why don't we act like that with white people then? What do you mean? What do you mean? We've seen way more white people acting up. Absolutely. We can't even do nothing to y'all.

What's wrong with you? Historically. I was just making a joke. But, uh, what the fuck are you talking about? We can do something that happened. What are you talking about? We're going to actually bring up real numbers here, guys. Oh, we're being for real?

Oh, I didn't see these videos. Last time we did that. Taylor got fired from the podcast. So let's just chill. Taylor did not get fire. Taylor is doing what she's supposed to be doing. I miss you, Taylor. Which is producing.

I miss Taylor producing in-house. She'll be here next week, but she got to follow proper COVID protocol. Oh, she got to go through protocol. That's all. That's all. Listen, everybody has to focus on what they're here to do in the moment. Now, if you grow out of that and you want to do other things in the future,

salute. Salute. Not mad at that at all, you know what you're doing. To be impacted by something that you ain't got no business doing. You know, it's great. We got this new kid that's working for us right now. And he's 18 years old, just out of high school. The kid out there?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. Roughly. It's, dude, it's amazing. Guys cleaning up all the time, like throwing a fucking garbage out. That new energy you need in a company. Because it makes everybody else go, oh shit, I gotta do that shit.

Yes. You know what I'm saying? It is really good. Check out of your entitlement. Like the interns when they try so hard. That's right. That's right. It lets everybody know, oh my God.

Like I got go-go. Because you're one of those. The same way we all still have our inner child in us. We still have that inner intern. That guy who was just, that guy, a girl who was just happy to be there. Like, man, what do I need to do? He told me a funny story.

He said that he was working. at Home Depot, right? And his boss asked him, so what are you trying to do in your future? Like, what do you want to do? And he's like, I really want to work at Schultz Studios. Like that, that would be the dream. And his boss told him, he's like, yeah, there's no chance of that happening. Why don't you start figuring out like what you can do here. This is your best chance of doing it. And then he got to, that story. All right. Fair enough. Maybe he's a line. That's great. I just don't believe that story. That's what he said. And then he said he got to

walk into his fucking boss's room the other day and say, yo, I'm quitting. I'm going to work for show studios. That ain't nothing. Anybody says that. But old man. Nothing. No, no, no, no. Let me explain.

No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no. Let me explain what I mean by that. No. What's my political correctness? No. You politically correct about everything else except me. I've been literally arguing.

We get old school see the God back in the day. I've been debating about this all morning. I don't know. I've been debating about this all morning because, you know, in the group chat, it's me. It's Wax, it's Naila, it's Michaela, it's Taylor, right? Yeah. And Simp.

And I'm talking to them about how... I don't want to be in that black-ass group text anyway. But listen, I'm talking to them. I'm talking to them about how people get gassed off the littlest things. Ah. You understand what I'm saying? I think he's still shitting on me. No, no, no, no.

I think he's still shitting on me. He just called the littlest things out. He just said out. But listen, he just doubled. He's just shat on me. Listen, to that brother. But he got an internship at Soch Studio. He getting paid.

Ain't no internship. Oh, well, great. You got baby. But guess what? But guess what? You still ain't did shit, young man. You haven't? You still ain't did shit, young man.

This is true. You still got to earn your kid. You might fire him after two weeks, Schultz. That's all so true. I don't know if he keeps cleaning up. I love that shit, bro. But he might want to grow out of that just cleaning up.

Until he tells you, I ain't coming here to clean. Yep. You've asked me to give him to make a talent. Exactly. I came here to be the cameraman. To be the camera. He didn't come here to clean, but now that he does it, that will be part of the job. So be careful what you do to help out around the studio.

United's relationship. Don't stop it. I see it, but I see it all the time. You know what I'm saying? I hear what you're saying, even though it sounded like you were shitting all over me. No. It did come across like that. Okay, I give you, let's say if it's the breakfast club.

Yeah, let's talk about the breakfast club. And let's just say if there was somebody on the breakfast club and, you know, you let them talk every now and then, and then they started. to get, you know, gassed up a little, feel like they part of the show, yada, this and that, whatever, whatever. In your mind, you know what I mean? Like, bro, this is nothing to be gassed over. Ooh. I don't even fuck if it's the breakfast club.

You ain't done shit. Like, what have you done? But the problem is people think that they're successful by proximity a lot of times in this area. But sometimes it's somebody's dream to work at the breakfast club, right? And just getting that job is their first level of their dream. It might be, they might have 20 other dreams. But one of their immediate dreams is to.

to get an internship. To get into college. Like, let's say you get into college. Like, yeah, you didn't graduate. But show, that's still an accomplishment to get into the college of your dream. Yeah, but you know, it's an ultimate accomplishment. That's a second place.

That's not even second place. That's not even second place. That's a third place. Yeah, you ain't finished. Yeah. Hey, you made it to college. Congratulations. I was like saying, like, all right, you got married.

You ain't got family. Now I'm on Solomon's side. Fuck that. What? What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What's said? Who? Who said? truth though. Wait, what do you say?

I miss it. You said you got married, but it's not like you got a family. Well, some people start their family before they got married. That's true, too. But it's another level. Yo, real talk, like, being faithful to three years, like, that's nothing, bro. No. That's not, too.

You know, that's nothing, bro. Like, you talk all this faithful shit. I'm not saying. Yeah, that shit is nothing. Six years? Six years, son? That's barely a, that's a light sentence. Hey, three ain't shit.

Oh, you forgot to pay your taxes. By the way, three years ain't shit. You know what else? Three years ain't shit? Three years of college. You better get that fucking fourth and get a degree. You're right. But come on, man. You thought that was going to hit hard. You thought that was going to hit hard. Analogy.

You can tell he to go to college. Skip the grade. They're going to die laughing to me knowing college was four years. I didn't know what the reaction was going to be. I thought I was going to get one. I was like, damn, no reaction. I don't know if it was going to be laughed or like, true, true. I'm like, damn, nothing.

That ain't doing nothing. That one didn't hit the month. There's many successes you could have in your life. I think your accomplishment of six years of fidelity is great. Mine is too. I think that's great too. Thank you. Really appreciate that, yo.

Yeah. I, for real, like, and I fuck with, you know, people who like stop drinking and shit like that. Like, that first month is huge. Big, because it's an addiction. It's addiction. Yes. You got to salute somebody when they. are sober, yes, 100%.

So like any accomplishment, a goal you said, even if it's losing five pounds, like that might be nothing, but if you set something out and then you do it, I don't care if it doesn't mean anything to the average person,

but to you... But when if you get back fat again? That's fucked up. You should feel bad about that shit. And it depends how much you weigh when you lose the five. That's what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying? From like a self-esteem perspective, like when you decide that you're going to do something and then you do it, there are a few people say they're going to do things because they're afraid of the failure

attached to it. So when you decide, yo, I'm going to do this thing and then you actually achieve it, you deserve to feel good. Okay. Okay. No, no. Cholts is right.

But this is what I would say. You still haven't done anything. It's still more levels. Congratulations. I'm glad you're in the door with the ultimate. Now, stop partying and keep going. Keep going, man. And that's my problem.

A lot of these guys and these girls, they stop and they celebrate and they spike the football. It's like, yo, it's so many other levels. You only score. one point, you got a whole game to go. Come on, man. Yeah. Come on, man. And it's like, once again, I think a lot of people think that they're successful by proximity. It's just like on social media. Just because you can at Diddy and Diddy might

tweet you back. You're not Diddy. Yeah. You're not seeing eye to eye with Sean Combs or whoever it is. Like, that's why we, some shit, man, we might have to stop rewarding, bro. Like what? Like, if I tweet you, all right, if somebody tweet, I forgot to, it was a basketball. Why didn't somebody tweet, I think it was C.J. McCullum or something. And then the person ended up on ESPN. Why are you doing that? You're right. Why you do?

Why? I mean, I had been with me once. I made fun of Kenny, uh, Kenny Smith's legs. And then they put that shit on. The tweet's not, the tweet is fine. Yeah. I'm talking about actually doing an interview. Oh, no, they did it.

The person, I believe they did. I thought they just showed the tweets and whatever. And listen, I'm not, listen, maybe I'm just old school, but I just, I see it too, much, man. I see it when certain people get really, really gassed and I can see how that ego trip will lead them on a journey to nowhere. That's what I tell people all the time. You want to take a trip that's not going to take you nowhere? Let it be an ego trip. But usually that's quick success. Like, if success takes time, usually there's some humility behind it. Or if there's confidence, it's like, yeah, I'm confident because I work 20 years to get

this shit. But like if you have quick success, it's almost like you've got to trick yourself into believing while you're there. And it's like, oh, it's destiny. I'm meant to. to be here. This is, you're going to fuck it up too. I hate when people get upset because they don't get what they're not even there to do. Like if you're here to be a custodian, right? And your job is to clean up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you walk in here one time and you're cleaning up and I say something to you and you get a little mic time, a little camera time, don't start complaining that you're not getting no mic time and camera time because you're not here to be a personality. This shit really, really, You're a custodian.

This shit really got to you, because it's stupid. You know, imagine losing opportunity are losing money because you're complaining about not getting time to do a job. You're not even here to do. This shit don't even make no, yo, it makes no logical sense. To be clear, you're not talking about Taylor. No? Talking with the machine behind them.

I'm not talking about Taylor. You're talking about there's another idea. There's another potential situation. This whole generation. I don't know if I'm talking to Taylor. I don't think I'm talking to tail. No, I don't have tail in mind right now. No.

But no, it is a generation. It literally is a generational thing. And I was having this conversation with Taylor and McKale and Nile and Sim this morning because I was, I don't want to see any of them make those kind of. Because they trust me when I tell you, they are mistakes. It's literally not putting the weed in that. Yeah, yeah. But you got to learn from it. You know what I'm saying?

Like you say, you got a big journey and stuff like that going on. this is something you got to learn from. You got to fall sometimes. I'll give you a story, right? I remember when I used to work at this, we're syndicated on there now, Z-93 Jams in Charleston, but that's why I started as an intern and as a radio personality. And I remember one time we used to do this thing where we would take the station vehicle

and we would go to different towns in South Carolina, right? Like any jock might get in a vehicle who might just pop up somewhere, have tickets, whatever. You just, hey, meet me at such and such right now. Pull up. And I remember we had a list of like different towns we were going to. And I remember Baby Jay and Tessa, salute to Baby J and Tesla, love him to death.

They actually were the Breakfast Club in Charleston, South Carolina. They went to Mons Corner. And I remember being so mad. Like, why the fuck y'all going to Mons Corner? That's my time. That's where I'm from, yada, yada, yada. And I remember Baby J saying to me, yo, where are you from?

You know how I'm from Monsk Corner. He said, yeah, because you say it all the time on the radio. They know you out there. Why don't you go to West Ashley? Why don't you go to some of it? They don't know you. Go somewhere where the people don't know you and haven't met you.

And I was like, oh, shit, he's right. You know what I mean? But initially, ego kicked in. I'm like, what the fuck? Yada, yada, yada, yada. But he was absolutely positively correct. I don't think this generation, not saying everybody, because that's a big general statement.

I don't think a lot of people in this generation are receptive to that because they got this shit and they got 50 people telling them they good, are they great, or what they should be doing. I wouldn't get that dumb ass shit too. You said what? I said they'd be like, I would do that dumb ass shit too.

You know what I realized? It's like everybody got someone in their DMs saying that they're the best part of whatever they're doing. And it don't matter how insignificant you are. There's a motherfucker that will DM you and be like, bro, it would be nothing without you. Yo, the show would be nothing without you. Every week. You're saving the show, bro. And then you think you're the only one getting those DM.

We've all got these DMs. And you think you're the only one getting those DMs in the beginning, right? So you just block out all the negative shit because you're like, oh, I got three DMs and he said that I'm the one of saving the fucking show. But you got to be honest with yourself in those moments. Yeah, you got to be like, am I really? What do I do?

What am I? Don't know nothing. Like really, like seriously, look at, sometimes take a step back and look at your resume and ask yourself, okay, why do they like me? Yeah, yeah. Do they really like me? Yeah, yeah.

I don't know if they really like you. And sometimes they like you because you're great. Sometimes they like you because it's cool to like the underdog. Sometimes they like you because of the problem. proximity of the thing that you're around. Yeah. And sometimes the combination of all of them. Sometimes they love the role you play and you're the most relatable person,

but they might not be speaking for the majority of the audience. But here's the thing. What if you don't even have a role? Yeah. That's my point. Like we're talking. We're personality. What if you don't have a role?

What if Alex said to you right now like, yo, you know, man, you know, I need to be heard on this podcast. Well, if on Flayron, I would understand that. Okay. Because he plays a role. He's got a mic on it. Oh, brilliant. I mean, I'm open to it because I know what he brings to Flagrin.

It wouldn't be that shocking. But let's say it was just this podcast. We never did Flagrin. Alex barely talks. And he's like, my voice isn't being heard enough. Yeah. Something like that. I mean, what's going on?

I wonder if anybody and Ron Howard Stern ever had. I played my role. Say what? I know how to play my role. There you go. Say that again, Alex. I know how to play my role. Playing the role.

Playing your role, playing your position is such a lost art. Because so many motherfuckers are out of position. I don't think they know how to do it, though. They don't know how to do it because of this. Yeah, we were trained. We had to do it. We had chores. We had all the type of stuff we had to do.

Everybody has an audience. Even if there was a janitor, and I keep using the janitor. If there was a custody-old-in. We didn't hire a janitor. We hired an editor. Oh, he's a editor? Yeah, he's just he's Mexican. Doesn't mean he's fucking clean.

I didn't know. Number one. Number one. I didn't know he was Mexican. You know what the fuck he was doing. What? Huh? Number one.

I got two for one. Number one, I didn't know he was Mexican. Number two, you didn't tell me what he did. You just said he comes in here. That's not fair. Not telling us he was Mexican. First of all, I love those kind of people. That's the kind of person.

That's who I am. That's who I was. I would start spraying. Whatever you need, yo. It was something I read something with it. Maybe it was a movie. It was something where it was like, you always look busy. So it was like, even if you're just sitting around, like, grab something and start dusting shit.

And I was that, I'm that, I was that. person. I'm like, oh, I'm a dust. Just because you always want the person to do what you did. You notice that he's cleaning up. You notice he's doing things he don't have to do. That right there makes you like, okay, there's something there. He's hungry. I see who I see who won weed instead of cleaning up cleaning up. Oh, that was definitely me. What's that? You do what? I see if somebody want weed or like stuff like that. I know how to play my part. I know how to fill the air in the room. That's it. But I ain't trying to be the room. A guy said that to me yesterday, you know, the sales team came back to eye heart and I went

I was going downstairs to use the bathroom. And the dude was sitting there. He was like, show me. I'm like, what's up, man? Good to see you. Ain't seen you since the pandemic, whatever, whatever. He said, where's wax? I said, oh, he's upstairs.

You know what I'm saying? He was like, man, I'm going to come up there and see him. I said, no, I'm bullshit. And he said, I don't know what I'm saying? I don't really want to see him, you know what I'm saying? Unless he got something for me. I have nothing to do with that. I don't know nothing.

I don't have nothing to do it. with that. I don't know. The moral of the story is, man, I just don't want people to have a sense of entitlement. Nobody owes you anything. And you're not deserving of anything other than what you work for. Yeah, maybe there's a separation between like entitlement and like gratitude or happiness. Like, you could have a goal, achieve it and then feel really good about yourself. But it doesn't mean that you automatically feel like the world is owed to you. Gratitude and happiness is showed through your work ethic. I can give you examples of people like a page, people like a sim.

Yeah. Gratitude and their gratitude is shown to their work ethic, meaning that they're always around. Yeah. You know, our page became an executive in my company. Yeah. Wax, no, because she wouldn't leave. She was always around. Like, I know, I'm coming. I'm going to be here.

Like, she was there. She was playing roles way before she had official position. Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? Same thing with a sim. Like, Sim literally. learned everything. She's my assistant.

Everything. Everything. Camera work, production, yeah. Programming. She's happy doing everything. When you're happy to be there. When you're happy to be there, it will show in your work ethic. When you're not happy to be there,

it will show in your work ethic. And guess what? It all gets noticed. Energy and everything gets noticed. It all gets noticed. And it gets rewarded. That's the thing a lot of people realize, like, if you kill it, it is rewarded. I've never not seen it work. Yeah.

I haven't. Not once. Not once have I seen somebody who is happy to be there. Gratitude is their attitude. It shows in their work ethic and they have not been rewarded for it. In fact, those are the people who, it seems like they're accelerating fast. Yeah. The people who are stagnant are the people who find something to complain about all the time.

They aren't happy to be there because maybe. Not reliable. And by the way, maybe they're out of place. Yeah. The left tackle don't play quarterback. Imagine the left tackle telling you I need to be throwing the ball. Yeah. I suppose you're a interceptions.

Yeah. You're a left tackle. And you know, and the reason I'm using that example, because brother, the left tackle is just as important. Yeah. As the quarterback. That's who protects the quarterback. They love nuts, man. I don't care what position you play if you're a producer, a board up.

Very important, man. Music, everybody, the custodian, every guy. custodian. Everybody plays a position. If the room wasn't clean, if the studio wasn't clean, we couldn't perform. Who'd come in there and perform for a dirty fucking studio all the time? Yeah. Like, everybody plays an important role. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. That's all. So, you know, I just want to tell these kids, man, don't get gasped because the ego trip was a journey to nowhere. That's all. Let's pay some bills.

Shallow Waters by Anita Copax. It'll be out August 3rd. It's the second release on Black Privilege Publishing, which is my book in print, Saludit Tamika Mallory, State of Emergency, How to Win in the Country We Built, Best Selling Book, that's out right now. But this right here, Shallow Waters,

it's a young adult fiction book about the Yoruba deity of Desee, Yemiya. It'll be out August 3rd. What made you choose this one? Man, that is a great question. And, yeah, I mean, my sacred purpose, coach, Her name is Yadi Alba.

Yadi is just an incredible person. If you want to know what a sacred purpose coach is, it's like a spiritual therapist. You look like an avatar in the front. That's not an avatar. No, I'm saying. Avatar is blue, but it's red. It's kind of dope.

I like it. But Yadi is my sacred purpose coach. She's like a spiritual therapist, man, and she said that she was in the water. This was last year, last summer. She said she was in the water. And, you know, she got the download from God. She was like, I got to connect, you know,

Leonard with Anita. And, you know, what's so crazy. is Yaddy didn't know I had a book imprint coming. You know what I'm saying? Like she had no idea. So she was like, I want to connect Lenard with Anita. Peace. So Anita got this great book, you know, called Shallow Waters.

And I think Anita might have been with another publisher and things didn't work out. So, you know, actually connected me with Anita. And Anita sent me that sent me the manuscript. And I remember just sitting outside under the pergola. And I read it in like a few hours. And I'm like, yo, this was phenomenal. You know what I mean? And immediately I wanted my daughter to read it.

My daughter's 13. You told you to tell people what this book is about because I'm reading the back of this book and I had no fucking clue that this is what it's about. I'm amazing to get reading at two hours. I thought this shit was about mermaid. It is about mermaid. No, it's not. It's about a girl who's taken from Africa

to America and the slave trade. No, no, no, no, and then she uses the power of Yimmy Y'i. Oh, no, no, no. It's about Yimia and I don't want to give too much of the book away, but I can. It's like a love story. Can I read? Can I read the end? Go ahead. That's the back. Thank you. Yes.

And I want everybody listening Because he's been talking about this book For a loud three months Tell me if this sounds familiar Only three? Six. I don't know. I just want to see what you were.

Years. The last one, y'all talk about that shit forever, bro. It was like church. He's coming back. Christ is all this way. State of emergency. How to win with the man that y'all crucify. Shallow Waters imagines Yemmy Yop.

and Orisha, a deity in the religion of Africa's Yoruba people, cast into mid-1800s America. Okay? We meet Yemiyah as a young woman, still in the care of her mother and not fully aware of the spectacular power she possesses to protect herself and those she holds dear. The journey laid out in shallow waters sees Yemia confront the greatest evils of this era, transcend time and place in search of Obatala, a man who sacrifices his own freedom for the chance at hers, and grow into the powerful. a woman she was destined to become. We travel alongside Yamia from her native Africa and onto the new world with vivid pictures of life for those left on the outskirts of power in the nascent Americas. Yamia realizes the fighter within travels the underground railroad in search of the mysterious stranger Obatala and crosses past with icons of our history on the road to freedom.

That's right. Shallow waters is a nourishing work of ritual storytelling from promising debut author Anita Copax. Yeah, so basically Yemi-I is a mermaid. Hold on one second. Hold on one fucking second. Hold on one. Al, Al, Al,

I need you to objectively say if the black Aquaman movie that he's been describing for the last three months. Aquaw woman. Aquawomans. Nothing like what you've been talking about.

That's exactly what I've been talking about. Nothing like I didn't even hear an aqua woman and that. What you mean? I've been telling you all about you've been talking about mermaids and all shit, not underground rail. road? Because she's an African mermaid, the Yoruba deity of the sea, Yamiyah. She falls in love with a guy who lives on land who gets enslaved. So she follows the slave ships to America. And then when she gets to America, you got to get to, you got to. You got to. So she is actually a mermaid the whole time? Is actually a mermaid? Are you sure that? A hundred percent. Well, well, well, well, you got to read the book. You've seen Splash. Right? No.

You've never seen the classic movie Splash? No. With Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah? I didn't either. Who are you humans? No, bro. You've never seen Splash? No, dude.

Flash was incredible. Splash and she was a mermaid, but she could also have legs. She got her mermaid when she went into the water. Little mermaid. You never seen Splash. Y'all got to watch Splash. I've seen Little Mermaid. Kids, Google Splash.

Why would she be on a railroad if she was a mermaid? You got to read the book. It's the 1800s, man. Underground Railroad. Well, why don't you go? underwater railway. She did that. Okay.

It's from water to land to find her boo who was enslaved. She got wet. Duh. Not paying attention. Just had a curiosity. Don't know what wax is talking about. No, I think I make sense here. Now, when Obatala goes down on her, he's like, yo, this is kind of fishy.

Oh, my God. Why do you got to do that to everything? You ruined the purest thing, man. Why? He got a point, though. Obatala got a point. Like, he's down there, like, why you taste like the ocean? And she got to be like, I am the ocean, bro.

Like, I have scales and all that shit. Hey, by the way, by the way, let's be honest. Man, that's how I'd be feeling, though. When you, you ever jumped in that blue Caribbean water and how nourishing it feel and how it just makes you feel healed? Like, that's how that vagina you love be feeling, too. Does it? Yeah.

I don't know. But does it taste like that sushi dinner, bro? What's wrong with sushi? Scalots. Say what? No, I love sushi. I ain't gonna lie. All you do, you're describing this vagina,

this is a spectacular vagina you're described. I'm serious. But the moral of the story, your shallow water is out August 3rd. Yo, but now that y'all know what their book is really about, go out there and support this book and get this book. Okay, because before y'all had no fucking clue. You thought you'd watch a black of a little mermaid, bro.

You had no fucking clue what the book was about. The girl's on land all the whole time. She's doing the underground railroad. She's probably bumping in a fucking. Harry and Tubman and shit, is that it? Oh. Is that the big reveal? Who else are you going to run into on the Underground Railroad?

Nobody else. Who else? Who else you knew from the Underground Railroad? John Henry. Come on, yo. Oh, yeah? The fuck. That's all, son.

Yeah, of course you're going to bump into these people. It's a lot of historical figures. Avatar too. Come on, son. Not around in Wax, Avatar's the Future. I'm just saying, now that y'all know what the book is really about, get ready for these copies of fly. I should have read Tamika Mallory's book

to make sure that's what it was about. Tamika Mallon might have a completely different book. Is it black Humpty Dumpty? Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. And let's take it down and let the Mexicans in. Listen, man, I'm just here to tell you to get it, okay? That's my job, bitch. Y'all said, Nina Copac.

It's about the art. The artists have to explain their art, but I can just tell you that I love the book. And, you know, as a person who grew up on Judy Bloom and Beverly Clearly and those type of young adult fiction books, man, it gave me that kind of energy. And the fact that it's a black woman who wrote it, it's about a black character because my mother told me to read things

that don't pertain to me when I was young. That's why I read Judy Blume and Beverly Clearly, because I didn't know about no little white girls. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So this is like, yes. Without spoiling it, does Obatala get to taste that yummy young? I can't say.

John Henry. I don't want to give all that away. John Henry is a beast. John Henry is a beast, bro. Yo, do mermaids get periods? Because sharks will probably be all over that. There's no way they can. Too much.

That's dangerous, right? Very dangerous. That's not dangerous, ma'am. He's just driven one. I live and thought about that. The girls going to the ocean with their periods, right? I'm going to be honest with you. I think that's a very large.

That's a lie. We got to know, you know. I think that's a very lie. I've never read any. thing about it. All I'm saying, Anita Copac. Anita Copac, go watch shallow waters, bro.

August 3rd. Go watch shallow waters. You can pre-ordination out. Shallow waters. Exactly where you need to be if you're a mermaid with your periods and them sharks on each of a fucking ass, okay?

That's why you're going to the real road. That's where you need to be. Oh, God. Come on that real world. I got to chill out. Let's get in this. You got a fucking, yo, Sean, man, you're a wild boy, yo.

Anita Copack, shallow waters. Let's get into some shit you don't care about next week. What we got? What we got? What we got? What we got? What we got? Yo, the guy that was punching him on the ground, right? Bushwick Bill. You saying he had anxiety? That's why he was doing that? I mean, if you listen to the song. RIP, though, didn't he pass? He passed away. I'm just saying, that's what anxiety do. I know he's not exactly do that. I mean, you're hallucinating. Like, you know, he actually might have won a step further. That might have been some, like, paranoid. That's what I'm thinking. Don't tell me.

Bill was dealing with. Don't tell me anxiety to do that to you. I'm like, damn. Because he was hallucinating. He thought it was Halloween and it wasn't Halloween. He thought he was fighting somebody. He thought he was white some six foot 10 monster. Because of a drug? Because of a drug. Anxiety. No, not just anxiety. Usually there's some sort of drug.

This year Halloween film, I don't know if he was on a drug. I don't know. To me that, I took that verse is like an extreme. I would say now, now that I have the language, I would say paranoid schizophrenia. That's what that verse seemed like that. I think. I might have been. But also, you didn't know is Halloween.

I say bipolar. I just went out. Like, that's a. That's crazy. Wild boy. Right? Like if you didn't know it's Halloween, you go outside, you see all these people. Like, that's not wild.

Wild boy. Oh, this is a good. This is good. Shit you won't care about next week. All right. The baby. Not paying the kids for candy when they tried to hustle him. I don't think he did.

Don't try to hustle me, bro. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Word is born. I hate when people come at you and expect you to do something because of who they know you are or because of what they think you got. Fuck you.

You know what I'm saying? Like, if you're selling candy, let's say the candy is a dollar candy bar and let's say you got 30, 40 bars in there. If I ask you how much for the box, don't tell me 200. No.

I treat everybody the same. I don't care for who you are. You could be Oprah. If it's a dollar, the dollar for Oprah. You're trying to finesse me. You're trying to finesse me. And you people online

that are saying things like, oh, well, you know, the baby got it. You're essentially saying it's okay to con people if you know they got. It's not cool, bro. I hear what you guys

are saying. I'm not going to give much pushback. I think I'm with you because it's a weird situation because when you say a crazy number like that, yeah, he got it, but he doesn't want to get hustled and he doesn't want to negotiate with a kid. Now, I negotiate with a kid, but if you make it makes sense and I don't see you trying to hustle me in the beginning, I'll fuck with you, but all that trying to hustle. I'm like, I got to teach your lesson. You do that against somebody might fuck you up.

If I told you that I got 30, 40 candy balls and they're a dollar apiece. Yeah. Right. That's $40. I'm going to give you $100. Yeah. And I'm probably going to tell you keep the change. The baby's told Speedy.

Keep the candy bars. Keep the candy bars. I usually do that too. I love to keep their product too. If we're talking about teaching kids lessons, you can't do that. That's not how this works. That's not how it works. You don't want to fucking start.

If you got them to keep it, they'll never re-up. That's right. That's right. I'm taking the goddamn. Make sure he ride it. It's a transaction. Yep. Re-up.

But I saw him tell Speedy. I gave him $1,000 if they had just kept in $100. Why are you trying to Fidesta guy? I hate that. Why? Does the baby got money like that? Hell, yes. Really, he's killing it.

The baby was one of the, the baby is one of the biggest hip-hop artists out. And, you know, man, put it like this. When we had the baby on Breakfast Club last year during the pandemic, he had to cancel the toy that he was supposed to go on that summer. I said, man, how much money you think you're missing out on over the next 90 day? He said, like $6 million. Yes, the baby makes a lot of money. That's good money.

That's a lot of millions. Hey, I'll tell you this. The baby, salute to the baby, salute to my man, Arnold. You know what I mean? This is kind of inside baseball, but it don't matter because it's not like it's a bad story. One of my partners in Charlotte was having like a sweet 16, you know, for their child. And they wanted a baby. Maybe lives in Charlotte.

And it was like, I think, like 20,000 might have had, you know what I mean? Just to pull up, you're in Charlotte. No. Like, no. No. And you end Charlotte. Yeah. I would have got that money.

It's right around the corner. You know what I'm saying? He's like, no. Nah, bro. He can't perform at a little birthday party. He wasn't even going to perform. He wanted him to pop up for how long? I don't know.

But it's 20. He's like, nah, the baby not showing up there. Baby makes a lot of money. Yeah. But you saw the big stack of money he had in his hand, but that's not even the point. Yeah. People think, people think they can get over on you because you're you. It's fucked up.

I had something like that happened last week. And that's, I was telling it. I told. I told, I paid for a service through a family member. I told him, please do not let the person know. It's me because I feel like they're going to tax. You know what I'm saying? Experience is the best teacher, but go ahead.

That's what happened. People see as the baby. They think they can finesse. I don't think that's cool. Finescing. I don't think that. How much money you got? Word is born.

Because you're essentially saying it's okay to con somebody because they got it. It's like if I paid for my, if I gave my credit card somewhere, and then somebody took $500 off my credit. I don't get it took $2 is a problem. I'm supposed to be okay. Oh, he got it. Oh, you got it. Why are you chirping?

The fuck you mean why I'm tripping? I'll be mad as hell. Somebody's just for me. Yeah. It's the principal. And I don't get fuck how much weed I got. I don't wax. I got my weed, whatever.

You smoke my blood. I'm fuck you up. But that's disrespectful. Ask, ask. Ask me. You got enough. You got enough. Why ask?

That's what I'm saying. That's how they feel you. Oh, yeah. You got plenty weed, yo. You got plenty weed. You're chirping. What are you talking about? It's the principles.

I don't think the baby did anything wrong. Respect everybody. And those young men learned a valuable lesson. Number one, just keeping 100. How much it costs for the box? Well, candy balls are $2 a piece. It's such and such candy bars in this box. It's $60, whatever it is.

Cool. I promise you the baby would have gave you $100 and told you keep the chain. Probably would have you $200 and told you $200 and told you $1,000. He told him speedy he would have $1,000. I'm sure he would have. Because he told his camera guys to roll because he's like, this is going to be a moment. He's smart. This guy understands social media.

Oh, he definitely does. I'm going to cake off these kids when they have, buy their candy bars and I'm going to look like the savior, giving kids a bunch of money, they're going to go crazy. And then the kids flipped it on him. They're like, all right, $2,000. He's like, these little son of bitches don't even want to go viral. It's a lesson for a whole lot of people, though,

a whole lot of other kids. You know what I'm saying? Maybe. Hopefully. Yeah. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know what lessons these kids are learning. Oh, can I tell you?

Because those two kids might be looking at that video like, Yo, we lit. Look at how many views this shit got on Shain Root. You never know. I don't know what moves people anymore. I really don't know what lessons these kids are learning. I don't know what they get out of these things. I got a lesson.

And this is a conversation we had on Flaker and we had Ack on. And Ack was talking about, yo, shots at academics, man, hilarious episode. And he did, we were talking about Lil Baby. And I was explaining to Act and I was like, I got to be honest with you. I don't think Little Baby is crossed over. And he goes, what are you talking about? He goes, I understand from speaking to you, like, Little Baby is the biggest artist. And I think within the black community, Little Baby is massive.

He's the biggest fucking thing on a planet. Like Selena in Spanish. Is Selena? Exactly. Like, what Selena was to Mexicans and shit when at the point, we didn't know who the hell she was, but Mexicans loved her. Like, it was crazy. So when I was like, I'll be honest with you, I don't think white people got enough room for two babies.

I think there's the baby and a little baby. and white people don't, not enough white people know which one is which. And then he told me that little babies tour with Dirk was struggling to sell tickets. And I really wonder if in order to like sell out the arenas, you need white fans simply from a population standpoint. Like white people are what, a little bit over maybe 50% of the country. If you want to sell out arenas, you're going to need to have access to all 300 million. people that are in.

I think he's doing like theaters and large venues. I don't think he's doing arenas. I think there were like 12,000 cedars. What was he saying, Al, just so you clarify. I think that's... I don't totally disagree with your point. I think the little baby's on his way, though,

just because, like, you know, he sold more records than Taylor Swift last year. He was the highest selling artists of any genre of music last year. That's a fact, right? There's no question. So he's on his way. And when you look at, he performed

that every award show. Yeah. Billboard. Grammy's American Music Award. So he's definitely on his way. But I think the concert thing is tricky only because I think we're still in a pandemic. That's fair. Yeah.

That's fair. I just say this because I just think it's weird that he hasn't permeated my music listening all. Now, I'm the last person to final artists. Like, I'm listening to fucking top 40 and shit like that. Like, I'm not really searching. But for how big he is within the black community, for me, not to name a single song. I can't name a single baby lyric.

Like, something's going on, right? You still new? I mean, the little baby is, like, still very new also. My name is... That's Eminem. I know. You know that one. That's what I'm saying.

Is little baby that big? I was really concerned about it's more white people than Mexicans? They always got babies. They don't never see white people. Not now, but eventually they got it, bro. Was it 2040? They said that white people won't be the majority.

Yeah, y'all be. the minority, 2014. But now, little baby's definitely on his way. Like, he's definitely on his way. I keep saying that. I'm not, little baby is on a little Wayne type trajectory. And he's moving, for sure. Let's be clear.

A little Wayne crossed over. Like, I can't. But it took a while. No, it didn't. It was immediate. No. Bling, bling came out and it was a rap. I can tell you, I remember.

Nah. I remember it. I remember the hot boys. I remember the whole thing. What's going on with that life? Yeah, but that's because the hot boys was so big at the time. Like, Juvenile backed that ass. up was a goddamn sensation in 1998.

You know what I'm saying? And Little Wayne was on that record. But when Little Wayne became like that super household name, that was like Carter III. I don't know. We all knew what he was. He came out with lollipop, sold a million records in a week. You know what I mean?

Then he came out with Carter four, sold another million records. That's when he introduced your money, introduced the world to Drake and Nikki and everybody else. I'm just telling you from white people. You guys are more plugged into music, obviously. You're more plugged into hip-hop. can only tell you when white people are going to adopt a new musician and feel like, oh,

this guy's next. I don't like here's white, white artists adopting black anything. We do adopt y'all. So who's the white person over there with y'all right now? We like to adopt. Who's the white person over there? We like to go out of our race with adoption. So who's the guy?

Who's the biggest artist to white people right here? Drake? It's not even close. No, I mean, for y'all, though, who the white person that we adopt over here? Here's how crazy it is now. There's this new artist named Olivia Rodrigo, this killing the fucking. charts. Her whole album.

Never heard of her. I never heard of her neither, bro. I heard her. You see, my daughter's born day 27. My daughter had a louis out of the house. Non-stop, Olivia Rodriguez. It took you a couple weeks ago.

That's all she was saying, like, Olivia Rodriguez. We want to hear Olivia. I'm like, who the fuck is Olivia Rodriguez? And it's so funny because I'm listening to my daughter who just turned 13 and all her friends that are like 12. And there they got this whole love triangle thing.

And me and the parents are sitting around and the parents are like, I don't like this music. It's too depressing. It's female school shooter music. This is what it is. This is female school shooter music. When women go through the female school shooter?

There's never been because they could make albums, Adel, all these women that when they have this. They go put out this amazing music. They channel their energy. Exactly. Taylor Swift, all them. That's female school shooter music. They would shoot up schools if they didn't have this sort of pop music that they could make 100% guarantee.

It's therapeutic. It's therapeutic for them. You got to let women. I told you white women, be careful. You told you white women be careful If white women don't start singing They're going to start shooting Now I sat there one weekend

And I knew all about Singing or shooting for white women, bro I knew all about Olivia In the love triangle with Josh and Sabrina You got into it, huh? No, not really I just know those names I'm like, what the fuck?

Yeah, no, you know that fucking song My niece Olivia Rodriguez don't want no man to be happy after she ever, he'd been with her, bro Even last week My niece and my niece and my niece And my niece she's like Olivia Roderigo is a genius.

And I'm like, do I introduce her to Stevie Wonder now? No. What do you mean genius? What is genius? Wow, that might be too much from. Let the kids have whatever. That's their genius. That's Stevie Wonder, bro.

I'm not saying she's not. I ain't listened to enough over. I don't know what she does other than the parents complaining that she makes depressing music. She makes depressing ballads, but like poppy ballads about being upset that her old man is with a new girl. and it drives her crazy. And they like it. Oh, these kids love it. No, they really love it.

They fucking love it. Like taps into something. She's their Mary J. Blige. Ooh. She's tweens Mary J. Blige, I think. Ooh. Like, remember how we- Mary Lauren? I don't know about Lauren.

Because there was a point where people used to listen to Mary, especially when they came to like, you know, like having like emotional issues in a relationship. When you were going through it with your significant, We used to say, man, we love when Mary's hurt because she makes this great music. That's like Olivia Rodriguez. Now this should make sense. Her name, Rodriguez, Rodrigo?

Yeah. But I remember when you came on a podcast wearing the Mary J. Blige tent and that was right before you got faithful, bro. I remember the shit. You were going through it. I was faithful, man. You were, no, no. It was before that you were going through. It was 40 below.

It was coming up to your kneecap, me. The 80 below. That shit was up. Here, bro. That shit was... They gave the wrong one. They gave a wrong one. That shit wasn't 40 below.

They actually about might have been 400 degrees. It looked a little too hot, bro. It was moist, bro. Them shit came up to your thigh, bro. This shit was... It came past your knee. I remember you bent your knee and the shit kept going past your knee,

you know? Oh, that the fuck is going on with this guy. Yeah, he's walking like a penguin, bro. You know, man. I had to do something. I want you. But how would you talk to me about what you're trying to get? That shit was crazy.

You were probably going through it emotionally and then Mary was speaking to you in that moment, bro. I gave him shit away, too. Who you gave them that shit to, bro? Fucking. I think I gave him to my man. I think I gave him a deli. White Howard, motherfucker?

Who did you give them to? I think I gave him to deli. What? He know what better? He know better. No, he liked him. Man, I didn't know. He was, yo, I'm gonna be honest with you.

When I saw him on Delhi, he was rocking him dope, though. No, no way. They look good on him, I'm telling me. No, they don't, man. It was mad funny because during the podcast, you just kept scratching under your knees and it was it. Like it's a cat. Like it's a cast.

With a hanger at. He got a pen in there. I look like the white woman of Victoria's Secret's his leg straight. I can't eat all day. Not that the shit was fucked up. Don't play with Tim's, man. Just stick to what you used. Yeah, come on, man.

Slow down. 100%. Them shit was stupid. Them shit was stupid. Oh, let's pay some bills. Let's pay some bills. I want to come back. I want to talk some more about the acting too.

Oh, I got this. Okay. All right. All right, guys, we can stop for a second, pay some bills. Gary, I've got to tell you about honestly, the greatest underwear I've ever put on my body in my entire life. I'm not joking around this 100%. It's culprit. It's culprit.

Stephen A. Smith. Yes. What were your thoughts on what he said about the baseball player whose name I can't pronounce?

When I look at Otani, he is big time. Beirut, 33 home runs, batting 279. Got a 4-1 record with a 379 ERA as a pitcher. This brother is special. Make no mistake about it. But the fact that you got a foreign player that doesn't speak English

that needs an interpreter, believe it or not, I think contributes to harming the game to some degree when that's your box office appeal. It needs to be somebody like Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, those guys. And unfortunately, at this moment in time, that's not the case. He got one word wrong. What's the word? Harm. Talk to me. Somebody not, here's the thing that's annoying. We all know what he was trying to say. Yes. And unfortunately, what happens is when you feed a certain part of the media system that,

Their diet is consistent of outrage, and you give them a nourishing meal that they can be outraged about, they just going to get to work. They also knew what he was saying. When Stephen A. Smith said he's harming the game by not being able to speak English. That's wrong. He's not making the game any less interesting. If he did speak English, he would make the game even more interesting because what he's doing is so unique. But by not speaking, you're not hurting it in any way, right? But here's the thing. The dude doesn't have to want to fucking speak English.

Like maybe the guy doesn't want to be a superstar. Maybe he doesn't want to be the most marketed player in the league. Maybe he doesn't want to make any more fucking money. Maybe he has no personality. Maybe he's fucking boring. He doesn't have to do it. Would it help the league if he did? Yes. But it doesn't hurt if he doesn't. And that's the one thing where he got himself in trouble. I also think it's really funny that when he was imitating Sammy Sosa's voice, nobody thought that was racist at all. But if he was imitating Shohei Otani's voice. I didn't hear him imitate Samickson. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's funny because I actually saw this episode in real time. And it's interesting that I was even paying attention because I always zone out when they talk about baseball. Baseball, yeah, who gets a fuck? I don't fuck with baseball. I think baseball was way more interesting when everybody was on steroids. But when he said what he said, I didn't think anything of it.

And that's why I wanted to have a conversation with people who were actually offended by what he said so I could get an understanding of why they might have been offended because to me, I've heard this rhetoric before in regards to boxers. They've been saying this about Canelo Alvarez and Triple G forever. They're like if Conno and Triple G could speak English, they'd be the biggest things in the sport.

I mean, Conello in a lot of ways, already is, but imagine if Conno could like talk that talk. You can't. You know what I mean? And it hurts him. It hurts him. I've heard, I don't want to, I'm not going to say who I heard say this because I don't want to get my political,

I mean, my sports pundits wrong. But I feel like I've heard sports pundits say, You know, if Luca Donchik's was white or Dirk Nowitzky was white. They are white. And American, no, white and American, they'd be the biggest stars in the league. They would, without a doubt. You know what I mean? 100%.

So somebody bought a good point to us yesterday because we was talking about this on Breakfast Club. Luca will be the biggest star in the league, but. You think so? He will be. Over Zion? Yeah. Really? He can speak?

Not over Zion. Yeah. He can speak English. He will be over Zion. You think over Zion? Yeah, he's better. No, he's a better player. He's getting better.

Because he's better, I think his team will do better, and I think he'll be a bigger stuff. And also the fact that he's white, dude. Like, there's a thing with humans. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but a lot of people, they just want to see themselves reflected in their heroes. Don't you have to be white American? Because Dirk was a beast. Yeah.

Dirk is probably the second greatest power forward of all time. I think Dirk's, the thing about Dirk is nobody aspired to have a game like Dirk. Really? Yeah, like everybody plays like Dirk now. No, seven footer who can spread the floor, shoot the three. Plotting. Oh, got you, got you. Like, I remember, like, when I'd be playing, like,

hoops on, you know, on streets or whatever like that, and, uh, you go to parks, like, I, I, I wasn't even a shooter. Like, I would, I would cross you up and I'd get to the cup. Yeah. And people call me Dirk, because that was just the famous, that was the most famous white basketball player. And I would be assaulted by that shit. I'd be like, dirt.

What about you talking about? Yeah. Like, I'm Iverson, you know? But they just couldn't Iverson, you know? Right? Like, what are you talking about? White Iverson, bro. For Post Malone. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, oh, we got a point about Post Malone. Al brought up an interesting point. We get back to how you basically made his career by bullying his ass out of hip hop. That's not true. The second, he came on a breakfast club, he's like, I'm no longer a rap artist. And then he started. And then remember, I got to come to this show. I'm not rapping.

I am not rapping. I got to care about Black Lives Matter and understand shit. I want to drink Bud Light. Get face tattoos. Fuck all this shit. And he went. to the pop genre and fucking exploded and became, you know, the biggest arts.

He owes you a little check, bro. Whatever. He owes you a little check. Man, he bought me joy just by being able to ask him what are you doing for the Black Lives' Night. He had as fucking amazing. I mean, nothing, I mean, you know what was so funny? That was, that was like,

the Black Lives Matter movement was definitely the movement. You know what I mean? Yeah. But then, like, shit got really intense. Mm-hmm. So you couldn't even ask that question no more. Yeah. You know what I mean?

But, man, when you used to, to ask white people that when they first thought that they had no response. It's like PR people started saying. What you want me to do? Like I saw Jack Hollow say some shit a couple of weeks ago. And I made, I might have been last week.

I'm like, that's a very great statement. I don't even remember, but it was something about blackness and how him being a white person. He wants to show other white people how to represent the culture correctly and not appropriate it, but appreciate it and give back to it.

And I was like, man, that's a great answer. Yeah. What? So many white people had to die on that. What are you doing with the Black Lives Matter question? in order to get the Jack Harlow to have that great answer, man. We've seen a lot of people die on that question, bro. But dirt, but dirt.

So you can fit a dirt white? Yeah, dirt's white. They're all white. But yes, of course, if you're American, you're going to be huge. I mean, like, we saw what happened with Linsanity, right? Like, an Asian dude starts bawling in the NBA, and the garden is sold out with Asians every single night. Like, Asians are going crazy.

They knew with Yal Ming back in the day. Yal Ming. I mean, it was crazy because you wanted to be. see yourself reflected, especially if you're not reflected at all. Right? Like, I'm sure as a black dude, you see tons of black basketball players, so it's not a big deal. You got your choice.

But if you're a white dude and there's not a lot of white basketball players that you actually want to aspire to play, like Dirk didn't play that cool. Luca plays cool. Yeah, Lucas, he balls. His game is, you know, is sweet. So I think there's a lot of that going on. Now, me personally, I never understood that or felt that way. But I also just had so many people I looked up to from different races.

growing up. So it was just kind of like, like the musicians and shit that I look up to. Like, I listen to hip hop, so I didn't see myself reflecting in that. I look and, and obviously, with basketball. Comedians, comedian's funny is just funny. So you're looking for the funny. Comedians, I started watching comedy from deaf comedy jam. Like, that's what I, so it's like, I was just used to that. So I never thought about it. But I do understand how people want to be reflected. True. Absolutely. Yeah. I think, um, I think, I think everything you said is true.

I think with the, with the baseball thing, and, you know, I thought about this, by actually watching that segment. I didn't realize baseball was so old. Yeah. Right? So baseball is what, 100 plus years old, if not more? Oh, man. I thought it's older. I think it's older. It's very, very old. Yeah. And like most

institutions that are old in America, they're inherently racist, right? I don't subscribe to that. I mean, just go back to Jackie Robinson. They were as racist. To say the institution is racist still, is

is I can't prove that or deny it. Well, Stephen, they had a good point. Stephen, they said the demo's not getting no younger, right? Stephen, they say it's still an old demo. So I'm not, I'm not saying, I'm not, once again, it's not a general statement. But if it is an old sport and you got a lot of old people that watch the sport, you probably got some 70-year-old, 80-year-old white people. That's like, I don't want to see these Asians and these Dominicans and Latinos

dominating baseball. If you wanted to make America great again, how you think you felt about baseball? It's the Great American Pastime. I want to make the Great American Pastime again. But to your point, where is the Babe Ruth's? You know what I'm saying? Where is the statue pages? No, he was black.

True is Joe Jackson. He was black. The guy from wife. He was white. Where's the Nolan Ryan? Where is the Mark McGuire? I remember the good old days of baseball. Like, I'm serious.

They probably do feel like that. So it's probably an American thing. More so than anything. They want to see themselves represent. in it. So, yeah, when you look at the numbers declining, because the baseball ratings are declining a little bit. It's just boring. The sport's boring. I always thought it was boring. More interesting sports are coming around to replace it. This is what happens with sport throughout time. Like, we used to watch people running around circle and thought that was interesting, right?

Like, like the track and field was fire. Now we can tolerate it once every four years. That's how boring it is, right? So. I love track of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you like it once every four years, if motherfuckers said every Sunday, we're going to watch track and field, you go back. I don't. I don't see the next person. Man, fuck out of it. It's cat. It's cat. Cap, cap, cap, cap,

It's competitive. I go, I watch you and Taylor, I watch you and T. Ditty race every week. Exactly. If you and Taylor race every week,

I watch that shit every week. Same result. Same result. But what if she keeps saying she gets better, she getting faster, she's doing it.

I want to see that. Eventually you'd be like, ah, you're not going to win. The reason Trackerville is boring is the same people win every single time.

By the way, no competition. By the way, if you can't watch track and field, you just got ADD or something. It's one out of every four, years you could watch it. And not only that, it's like 10 seconds. Yeah, but nobody's watching

it unless your country's attached. You could tell us if a sport is trash, if you need the country to be attached in order for people to watch. I loved watching Usain. In regular tournaments or when it was like... Whatever he would run. Yeah, he's like, that dude was incredible. I like, I like, I like speed. You know what I'm saying? Especially, I mean, but I'm different. I used to run a 3, 640, so it's like, I respect like other speech. You know what I mean? 100 meters. I used to, I used to do the 400 meter. I used to do the 400 meter. 400 meter and like, man, seven seconds, something like that?

That wasn't seven seconds. It was like, yeah. Shut the fuck up, bro. It was like 32 seconds. The amount of lies that just came out of his mouth right now. He goes, can you just repeat? A 40-yard dash and what?

He said, show, man. He goes, he goes, he looks, like his face. Like, look at his face. He goes, he goes. I think he bad with numbers. So, he goes,

you never back. He goes, he goes, 100 meter dash, shit. I used to run a 400 meters. He just kept moving up. What the fuck are you talking about? 400 meter 37 seconds. 37.2. Charlie, man.

You're lucky I grew up in the area where we didn't have cameras. Thank God. No, you're lucky. I had a 72 inch vertical leap too. Hell no. Who? Who?

Who? Man, I was training. And this guy talked about, though he could jump over the fence. Lay got caught. No. I'm going to fit take. I had to go get him. No.

Oh, no, dude. I could jump down. I'm like, man. I really don't know. That's not stupid. Yo, you're crazy. Remember how we talked about it? Remember how earlier we talked about all it takes is one person to make you do something?

I'm that person for me. Listen, listen. Wax was going to train, right? Wax on the football field. I just see the fence. something said jump over that fence Oh wait it was him Yeah

Oh my mind I thought it was your friend No No no I was talking to myself I could jump over that shit Right for no reason He just do his thing

I just take off I'm walking okay What's what you got I had to I had dogs Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Just what he did

Oh shit I couldn't even finish practice It's time to go He's a weed. Shit was stupid, man. The fuck. The leg got caught in dumb shit.

The moral of the story is what Stephen A. Smith said, it wasn't any type of phobic, wasn't it? I said, you got to ask now. I don't even know what phobic thing. I don't even know what phobic is anymore. You know what I want to see? I want somebody to ask Callet. I want somebody to ask DJ Callet.

What does he think of they? Oh. Right now. Wait, wait, wait, wait, we the best. They, what is it? Because remember he always used to be like, they don't want us to win. And they is haters.

Yo, they. Can you imagine if somebody said that to Calid now and then you took it and put it online out of context? They'd be calling Callit so many phobics. Bro, Calid. Cal was trying to make America great again, bro. You know, his day was hating on him, right? Like, you know, they didn't want him to win.

Yo, it's true. I just want to see how those are the type of social experiments I like to see. Yeah. Because we can really see how America has jumped this shark. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody went back the one of Calais' old interviews and bought it up and say, look how he's talking about Dave. Yeah, yeah. How do you feel about pronouns? They don't want us to win.

I think what Demi Lovato said is true. And I respect her point. Demi Lovato said, don't be mad at people who don't use the right pronouns because it takes some getting used to. Yeah. It's going to take it, it's going to take one more day than I will live. Yeah, because it's going to take a generation. No, seriously. But if you're telling, if you're telling me now that that's, that's one of the genders, I'm a 43-year-old man who grew up on male and female. Yeah, A-E-I-O-U. They, I thought they was a, what is they? They is a pronounce. They is a vowel. No, they's a noun.

They's a pronoun. down. Sorry. Sad. A, E, I, O-U. What? Those are vowels. I don't know the, the Perritha.

There was something else I wanted to talk about. Oh, act. Oh, yeah. Slued to act. I didn't get to watch the interview because it was five hours long. That's longer than in the end game, bro. That shit was long. But I saw clips of it.

And it may, you know, first of all, you got a salute academic. He's great, bro. Brough. He is excellent. I told somebody this today, actually, because I was talking about, I was listening to somebody say how, you know, they want to work from home, yada, yada, yada. And I was like, you can't get to a certain level if you stay in the house, right? Act coming outside was one of the best things, right?

That happened to him when he started doing complex and, you know, I saw him at the verses with Soldier Boy and everything else. And now, you know, I don't know if he announced it yet, but you got to think. Don't say where it is. Okay. You got a podcast coming. Yes, right? And it's just like, yo, he came outside, right?

So I salute that for everything he built prior to that. Amazing. But he's taking it to another level because he's starting it, like seeing him do interviews and shit. I like that. You know what I mean? I mean, he's been on burning this before, but just seeing him sit with Flagra.

And I'm like, okay, I like that. I saw somebody say something. I actually think it was Act who said this. And then I saw people saying this online. I think he was, did him in Weezy have a back and four or something? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. And Act was saying how, nobody, they, nobody, nobody listens to their podcast. or whatever, but he was comparing it to YouTube number. I just want everybody out there to please, man, please. This is just a, I don't know what kind of tip you call it a business tip or whatever. There is a difference between podcasting and YouTube.

Even if it is a podcast that's on YouTube, that's two different revenue screens. That's two different audiences. We've had this discussion before. Do I think YouTube videos help the podcast? yes, but sometimes it does not translate. Sometimes people can have massive audio numbers like horrible decisions does. Massive, massive audio numbers.

But the YouTube might not be popping. You know what I mean? And that's fine. And sometimes people can have massive YouTube and no audio app. That's 100% true. Sometimes they can have both. Sometimes you can have both.

Sometimes you can have both. You know what I don't know what causes somebody to have. Brilliant idiots is like that. We don't do crazy on YouTube. YouTube? I think we have really strong YouTube. Decent. But the audio numbers are... Audio numbers are big. I literally saw that on Reddit this week. And they literally, on Reddit this week, they literally...

Oh, bless their little hearts of us. Because they was like, man, shouldn't Brilliant Nidious podcast be bigger? Right. Like, do you know what we do in audio numbers every week? Right. Like, go to... We have a SoundCloud. Go to Brilliant of the SoundCloud. Right. Can I read?

Yo, Dave, bro. Do whatever you need, bro? I just want to read some of the numbers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Taylor told me it's impossible to run a 40 meter in seven seconds, as if I'm going to listen to you about racing anything. She just texts me rematch. Oh, please.

Yo, we need Taylor back, bro. Taylor is. We need Taylor back. Taylor is producing. This is what producers do. We need her to produce her ass in the room so that we can talk that shit. I'm going to read some of these numbers. I don't even know when these dates are.

but brilliant it. This is We Come in Trees. I don't remember what episode that was. 308,000. This is just SoundCloud. This is just SoundCloud. This isn't Apple. This isn't Spotify or wherever else.

This is just SoundCloud. We Come in Trees, 308,000. 12 pumps showty with Lil Duval, $307,000. Call him Daddy, $305,000. The last podcast we put out last week, or two weeks ago, one day too late, 272,000.

Before that, brilliant, it's the musical, $296,000. Ready, set, go, 274,000. All I'm simply saying is we are a thank God because of y'all, the listeners, we are a very huge podcast audio-wide. Half a million views slash listens is big, man. And that's, like I said, that's just on SoundCloud. I'm combining YouTube and SoundCloud.

Oh, yeah, yeah. And SoundCloud, yeah. And but when you take the Apple and Spotify and everything else, we're doing like 700,000, 800,000 listeners a week. Thank God. And we've been doing this for some years. Right. We've been doing a podcast for long. She had a long time.

That's what I'm saying. So, like, listen, we appreciate your concern. But thank you. We're doing very good. But I just want everybody out there that's in this space, podcast, YouTube, it's a difference. You know what I'm saying? It's podcasting, which is audio, and then it's YouTubeing, which is video. It's different.

So I wasn't even, when I saw Axe say that, I was just like, yeah, I want to just explain that to people a little bit. Horrible Decisions is a huge podcast. Like, massive. They do like a half a million listens per episode. Wow. That's amazing. Easily. Actually, probably more, but I'm just, on an average,

they probably do like a little over a half a million per episode. That's huge. Yeah. That's huge. So salute to horrible decisions. And salute to my guy, Jam 4-4L on Instagram. He made a video. he told the story of the breakfast club dolls.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He set that over. That was fine. Yeah, he told the story of the breakfast club dolls. Yeah. So I think my man Nick put that on Breakfast Club page. So, yeah. What else we got, man?

Yeah, shout out to Shaq on Earn Your Leisure to me. You can listen to the Earn Your Leisure Podcast on Black Effect IHard Radio Podcast Network. That shit fucked me up last week when I heard that story. What? Man, Shaq. Shack owns the likenesses of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis. Presley. He owns like some of JCPenney. And it's because he did some deal with this company. I forgot the name of the company, but he gave, he sold half of his likeness to the company,

but also part of the deal is that he got like half ownership in the company or some type of big, he bought into the company. Well, the company wanted to buy half his likeness as part of that deal. He didn't just take like a check. You like, you'll give me equity in the company as well. So he got equity in the company. So now being he got equity in the company, he owns the likenesses to Maryland Monroe, Elvis. I think they even got Muhammad Ali. Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's crazy. Please listen to that episode, Ernie Leaser with Shaquille O'Neill. It is very inspiring. Yeah, he's made some good business movement. Man, that's an understatement. All right, let's do some asking idiots, man, and get up out of here.

Who we got? Who we got? Celebrity Veneration Nation says, Does Wax ever get comments about his laugh? Charlotte and Andrew never flinched, but I'm dying laughing each time. Greatest laugh of all time. He's got a great laugh.

Do you get comments about your laugh, Wax? Just what she just said or he. What do you mean? They at Wax. Or they. Don't disrespect people. A E-I-O-U. If you don't know.

A-E-I-O-U. Sometimes why? I heard that. Yeah. No, I don't know. I just, it's a laugh. I don't even hear myself sometimes. It's a very disarming laugh because it don't look like it's coming from him.

Yeah, okay. You know what I'm saying? It's probably what it is. It's cute. It's cute. It's a cute. It's not cute. It's a cute laugh.

Yo, not cute. You're a cute laugh for, bro. You got a cute laughing, bro. You got a cute laugh. You got a cute laugh. I don't even smile when I laugh. I don't even smile. Nah.

Yeah. He had a sweet, sweet smiles too. And then he shrubs up. You know what I think. It's all warm. You're a cute lapper, bro. You're a cute laugh, bro. You do.

All right, air tag Oscar asked big, expensive wedding fully paid with a small honeymoon or small wedding with an expensive fully paid honeymoon. What you doing, show? I'm having a, well, what number is small for you guys? What number would you consider a small wedding? What you mean, as in price or size? Size of people. I don't know. I don't remember how many were that mine.

I don't remember. I guess I think it's like 50 is cool. I'm trying to keep around 100. Okay, that's big. Like, I want to, like, know everybody intimately there. You think that's huge. But a lot of people don't... Huge.

Yeah, but a lot of people don't see that as a big wedding, though. Intimate is... Oh, having it be intimate, yeah. That's 10 people. I don't think I had a big way. The parents? No, but it wasn't small. It just seemed...

It seemed like everybody at yours really knew each other. Definitely. Yeah. But it wasn't small. At least. I really don't know. I think it was around that enough. At least 80.

But yeah, for me... That's cool right there. I don't know. I think if you do the wedding right, like, I put it this way. If it's like a cultural thing, like the way, like I went to this Akash's wedding, like an Indian wedding. Those are so fucking lit, bro. But that was so much fun.

But, like, there's certain weddings where, and I don't think that was that one, but there's certain weddings where it's like you're doing it for your parents, really. Like, and that, I'm like, if it's for them, if it's not for me, let's do that small. and I'll save the money and do the honeymoon of my wife where it's going to be hard time to celebrate. But if it's the wedding that you want it to be, like, Akash and his girl had the wedding that they wanted to have. Like, I want to have the wedding.

I'm down to have a nice wedding. And then... The wedding is for y'all, man. Yeah, I think it should be. Yeah, it's really for the woman, but, I mean, I don't... It's really for y'all. It's for y'all together. Yeah.

So whatever makes y'all comfortable, whatever y'all want to do... Saving money is what's comfortable. Listen, how did Icage convince y'all to, like, put on the garb? That was amazing. We wanted that shit. But what was the conversation? Nothing. Because I'm sure some people would, I'm sure y'all got some like, oh, this is cultural appropriation.

No, but Indians are the best, Brad. Like, because aliens are the best. Aliens, yeah. No, Indians are the best because they want you to embrace their culture. I'm with it. I mean, I clearly know that I'm just Commerstance showed me. Are you talking about the pot? Are you talking about the wedding?

I'm talking about the thing. The wedding. Combson told me that they, this was the thing, right? They told y'all the way this attire. The thing about Indian weddings is they go, yo, you can. dress in traditional Western clothes or you can wear the Eastern stuff. You can wear the Indian stuff.

And either one is great and we're cool of both. We dressed up, Indian wedding is like a fucking week long. Theirs was like three days or something or three events. So like the Friday shit, we all wore suits. They all wore the traditional Indian stuff. Saturday, they all wore suits. We fucked up and wore our traditional Indian shit. So it looked like we making fun of them.

We showed up. Everybody's in a tuxedo. We got the fucking pugs on. We got the whole droop. You know, but they loved it. They fucking love it. If you embrace their culture, they think it's so cool. They don't see it as you mocking them or anything.

They're like, we're lit. So if you're doing our shit, then it's good. If you go to a celebration in the temple, you have to cover your head. It's paying respect to God. You're covering your head in front of God. So, yeah. So it's like when I would go to like bar mitzvahs or bat mitzvahs as a kid, like my Jewish friends, everybody would put it on when you went in there.

100% Weezy looked very wholesome too She looked very wholesome An Indian guard I was like she was about to trick the fuck out of an Indian Totally trick Totally trick

With virgin Exactly Indian ain't going to And she said that on Instagram too She was like I look I don't know She said I look like a virgin She said I look like something

But I was just like Yeah she really going to trick somebody Yeah I don't know I love Weezy man Slewoooooooooooooooooo Werenna Wiener the Real says How did the person

Who invented the clock Knew what time it was at that exact time. That's so fucking smart. That's a good question. It's the smartest question I ever fucking heard. That's a good question. I would say that the person who invented the clock

is the person who invented the concept of time. I'm only spitball in here. I don't know. We know that the sun goes up. We know the sun goes down. We know that for a certain period of the day, the sun is out. And for a certain period of the day,

the sun is down. But we don't have to have a schedule, right? Do you have to have a schedule back then? But I guess you could know when it was like noon by the way the sun was and shit like that. You're more sensitive to things when you have phones and microwaves. Here's something weird. Why is the way that we calculate time the same throughout the world? For example, like our letters are different for the way that we write words, right?

Alphabets and shit are different. But nobody around the world has a clock where it's like every hour is really three hours. Or is an Apple instead of three and a banana instead of two. That's what you mean? No, they do have different ways of writing numbers. What I'm saying is like one hour to us is 60 minutes. But somebody else could have a different unit of measurement for an hour. You could be hours and hour everywhere.

It could be three hours. Like everybody seems to go off of that scale. No, that's true. You know, like a day, they're going off the idea of an hour and a minute. But why isn't there someplace that goes, now we don't have hours, we don't have minutes. We have these. Whatever. Like another completely another.

The time is time. The time is time. I ran a 3640 in the UK. I ran a 3640 in Africa. I ran a 36 40 in the U.S. Yeah, 3-6 kilometers. What did you say? Clometers?

Who the fuck is this Marvel villain that you just named? Is it Juicy J? Is that a kilometer? Is that a Marvel villain now? Three-six kilometers. What the hell? All right. We got Mo.

I'll do two more and get up out of here. Doverson, Cliff. says, why all superheroes has daddy issues? Easy answer. Go. Because why the fuck would I respect my daddy when I'm the superhero? Ooh. Your daddy ain't tough enough.

Throw some balls, dad. Exactly. Oh, shit. I can't even think of superheroes that got daddies. They got to, man. You know, I know Clark Kid, but he was a stepchild. Where you get the nut from? The what?

It's a baby. Like, oh, the dad nutted, but then depth. Oh, I said you see. But also superhero, a lot of superheroes aren't born superheroes though, right? Like they get their powers through like other means. I wonder if they want the people, if they're like targeting a group of people specifically, like who feel like their parents are maybe absentee or their father's absentee. They feel like a little nerdy and a little alone.

And it's like, oh, man, if I can live vicariously through that superhero whose life is similar to mine, then it works. I would like to know specifics. I'd like to know what superhero you're talking about. Not to cut you, but I think like the superhero shit kind of got. popping after the war, right? What war? Like World War II? Yeah.

Right? So I think there's probably like a lot of fathers who went to that war who came back. One who came back and weren't there or two came back with like some serious BTS. No, but not even like, oh, you can't throw, pay cats. Is that what you're saying? No, you're saying like Wolverine got the thing in his arm. You think he probably had a cast on his arm. Oh, yeah, yeah.

So there was like some sort of like, I think there was, you could relate in that way, but also like some sort of like emotional trauma that the kid was going through, didn't really understand what their parent was. Also, like, alcoholism was crazy after the war. Like, nobody even addressed it. So now you got all these kids that are like, oh, fuck, I need somebody else to teach me how to be a man or teach me how to be brave or teach me to do something.

And then maybe these, you know, characters did that. I don't even know if it's just daddy issues. I can't even think of too many superheroes who fuck with mama like that, bro. A lot of this shit is, but that's the Cesar stepchild. Oh, yeah. So Spider-Man was living with his fucking grandma and great. And uncle or some shit like that, uncle and aunt.

Did they kill their parents? I don't know. Batman's parents died. Batman's parents died. Yeah. So maybe comic books were about absentee parents. That's what gave you the time. You know what I mean?

Or the desire to probably want to be a superhero. Got a release on. That's probably why I know it was Marvel. Who do the superheroes with daddies and mommies, man? That's a good question. Let us know. I don't know who the superheroes are with daddies and mommies. I can't think of any.

And the ones that do it, it's not like their parents play a significant role. In the universe, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. All right, let's go. Let's do another one. The only one I can think about is Ironman. Iron Man got a dad.

Yeah, that's right. They got killed too. But I mean, he had daddy issues. Like, his dad never really loved him because he was too busy with his work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true. Howard Starks. Yeah, you're right.

Okay. Let me see. Keep going, keep going, keep going. Oh, I like that one. Which one? I don't want to do it. All right, go down. Ooh.

That's a good one. What did Akasha's... I guess we kind of talked about that, but what did Akasha's parents think about Andrews Turvin? That's from Des Ramey. They had a rap for me. We got a rap at the wedding. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. Funny a child. Okay, how are you feeling about the NBA finals thus far? How about that one? From Alex underscore Drummond. We can finish on that. Don't care.

Really? I couldn't care less about this NBA finals. They're doing everything in their power to get me to care. I do not give a fuck. I haven't watched a minute of a single. game. Why? Neither, man.

Fuck. I don't care, bro. Like, what's mad? Like, does it matter? I love it. Really? I do. I mean, I, I don't, I think that this is a great thing for the NBA simply

because you have a mix of everything that you would need to have a great league. You have a veteran in Chris Paul who's never been there. You know what I mean? Who you, you kind of want to see a ring just because when you see a guy doing something for that long, you want to see him achieve the ultimate prize. That's the reason why I watch it. But then you have somebody like Devin Booker. who's definitely one of the most, you know,

future young, exciting players in the league, I actually said that if Devin Booker balls out in this series and he's a guy that averages like 30 in an exciting fashion and they win, he probably end up being the biggest star in the league. He's so marketable, you know what I'm saying? Wow. He's so marketable.

He speaks English. You know what I mean? Like, it's just a lot of different things that go into his favor. Girls like him, you know what I mean? Giannis. Yeah. You know, another two-time MVP who's like a superstar

in the league. Like, I like it. Then I like the fact that it's Milwaukee and Phoenix. And the ratings are higher. Do you know that Steph Curry and LeBron James never had good ratings in NBA finals? I don't know. They did a whole thing about this on first take. Like the ratings are up like 16% of something crazy like that. I don't believe that. I promise you, Google it. More Americans watch the Euro Cup than they watch the NBA finals. That's a fact. I mean, I'm not saying that they don't. But look it up. NBA finals ratings are up. They did. They did. this whole thing that showed the ratings, LeBron and Steph Curry were in, and they was like, yo, they never did good in ratings. I don't know why.

Oh, well, not now. Now, go, what is it? Go back? I just saw the articles. Okay, see, that's two different articles. New York Post says NBA Finals ratings way down from pre-pandemic numbers, but in AP News says NBA finals ratings up from 2020 pandemic down from 2019. Sons Buck's NBA finals averaging 9 million viewers through game. But then it's NBA finals ratings up from 2020, down from 2019. 2020 was the Lakers.

I was Braun in the Miami Heat. But I don't know what it is. I'm thinking that it's because Milwaukee, like, all of Wisconsin is tuning in. You don't like no? I love Milwaukee. That's one of my favorites days. I like Milwaukee. I mean, Milwaukee's cool.

Food is good. But I don't think anybody's watching this shit, bro. Milwaukee. I don't know if 9 million is good and not, to be honest with you. Not for regular television. I don't think so, well. But it said viewership for game through the NBA final on ABC was up 51% from last year. That's what I'm saying.

That was Braun and the Lakers against the Miami Heat and the bubble when everybody was home. Well, the bubble was trash. That's what I'm saying. The bubble was trash, bro. But what else we had to do? No, COVID-fucked up. No, have babies, getting engaged. Yeah.

By dog. I like it. Me too. I did all that. You did the same thing? Yeah, I don't know. That was a thing to do. I like watching the Bucks and Sons.

It's fun, man. And we'll see who went. I don't know who's going to win the series. I have no fucking idea. I really don't. I'd love to see Chris Middleton win in ring because he's from the 8-4-3. But I love seeing Chris Paul win a ring too. He's from North Carolina.

And I just, you know, I just think that he's been in the league a long time. And he's represented well. I don't know. It's whatever. I don't have a dog in his fights. That it, guys. Did we do it? I think we did it, too.

As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart. You think we're intelligent. You think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's the brilliant idiotic podcast.

Thank you for listening.
