It's so stupid. It's positively brilliant. Yep, Salamey, Nagar. Welcome to the Brilliant Idius Podcast. We didn't do a podcast last week. We didn't do a podcast last week because it was Thanksgiving. Not to mention, do they know? They don't know, right?

Oh, okay. I'll let, I'll let, I'll let, I'll let, I'll let. I don't know if you told him one. I just know they weren't. All right. Andrew's pregnant. I'll let him. Andrew's pregnant.

He's expecting. but he'll be back next week, next week, I believe. But yo, we had to take a break, man. It was Thanksgiving. And we're going to take another break for New Year's probably. I'll give y'all the best of show

like we do every year. But how are you? What's happening? We can just jump right into it. We're going to do all the usual segments. We're going to do asking an idiot. A lot of asking an idiot. But we're going to start off with what we saw this week

that was positively brilliant. And we're going to see this week what we thought made us say, what a fucking idiot. first and foremost positively brilliant jangle jangle on motherfucking Netflix

let me tell you something What is that? Jangle Jangle is a movie on Netflix it's a Christmas movie it's a holiday movie it's a feel good movie My wife wanted us to watch it

as a family on Thanksgiving night So we sat down and we watched it on Thanksgiving And I felt like I wanted to cry four times Now mind you I was completely sober And it's one of those movies where She was like, oh, you know, the kids are going to enjoy this, whatever, whatever, but you end up enjoying it more than the kids do. Just because it's a lot of deeper meanings,

my oldest daughter understood it because a lot of these Christmas movies end up being about belief and faith most of the time. Because, you know, Christmas is about Jesus, you know, the reason for the season. So a lot of these movies are about faith and belief. And, you know, Jingle Jangle is one of those. And a Christmas story starring Ralphie has always been one of my favorite. favorite holiday movies, probably my number one.

It's not even close. It is my number one. That is my number one favorite movie. He's in this one? No. I'm just saying what Ralphie, the space that Ralphie holds in my heart, journey from Jingle, Jangle, now holds in my heart. Like, that movie is that good.

I watched it six fucking times. And the second time I watched it, I was like, oh, I got to watch this while I'm drinking. And I got to watch this while I'm on an edible. Absolutely. And you have like, it takes you through a range of emotions. You know, you got tears of sadness at one moment. And then you got tears of joy, you know, by the end of the movie. And it's a musical.

I'm not one of those people that really likes musicals, but it's not like a corny musical. You know what I mean? Because it's Christmas. It's the holidays. Like, it's a really, really good film, man. So jangle, jangle on Netflix is positively motherfucking brilliant. And I too believe that the square root of impossible is possible with me.

See, you don't even know what that is because you ain't seen the movie. Okay, but trust me, when you see the movie, you'll understand. That will become your Hakuna Matata kids. Trust me. All right. What I saw this week that made me say, what a fucking idiot. Nate Robinson's team. There's no reason Nate Robinson should have ever been in the ring with Jake Paul.

I didn't even think that was a match. that was really going to happen. I do remember vaguely, you know, hearing somebody tell me that Nate Robinson and Jake, uh, Jake Paul was going to fight on the undercard of the Mike Tyson, Roy Jones fight.

And I said to myself, that's a bad idea. Reason that's a bad idea because any skilled fighter, anybody that does combat fighting for a living, will embarrass you. Okay? And people think just because you know how to street fight, you can get in that motherfucking ring

and box with people. No. It's not the same. He saw that he's calling himself the new Floyd Mayweather. Well, he's doing that because he's trying to bait Floyd Mayweather into fighting him, which is actually smart because if Floyd Mayweather bites that bait, that's a big payday for Jake Paul. You know what I'm saying?

Like that'll be a huge payday for Jake Paul, and he knows that. So I don't think he thinks he can really beat Floyd Mayweather. He just thinks that if he baits Floyd Mayweather and to fighting him, you know, he can get Floyd to come out. and he'll get a big payday. But Floyd would be stupid to do that. Like certain things, I get fighting Connor McGregor. You know,

Connor McGregor was the guy in the UFC at the time. But fighting Jake Paul, nah. You still have a great legacy, my brother. You don't got nothing to prove. Like, that's like fighting the guy that runs up on you in the street and thinks they can beat you, Floyd Mayweather. Just like a regular guy runs up on you the street

and want to fight because you're the champ, you don't defeat a champ, and he think he can beat you. You wouldn't put your hands on him or let him challenge you to a fight, so don't do that with Jake. Paul. Let them know

where you want him to fight. I want Jake Paul to challenge Clarissa Shields. That's why I want Jake Paul to challenge.

Clarissa Shields. Let me pull up Clarissa Shields stats, right? Clarissa Shields and salute to Clarissa. That's the homie.

Clarissa is, she's held three multiple world. She has, she holds multiple world titles in three weight classes and she reigns as the undisputed female middleweight champion. That's who Jake Paul should fight, okay?

It would be a great matchup because it's black versus white, because it's man versus woman. We have these conversations about equality and, you know, what women are capable of, what men are capable of. I think Clarissa Shields, as skilled as a boxer she is, this is how much I believe in the science of boxing. as skilled of a boxer as she is, I think she will beat Jake Paul in that ring.

And the reason I think she'll beat Jake Paul is simply because she has more experience. I really do. I think boxing is a science. And, you know, Nate Robinson did not know the science. You know, back in the day, was like, yo, what's the science? God, Nate Robinson didn't know the science.

The science is not leading with your fucking face. Did they want beef before? That's why they went into it. I think it started with some Twitter talk. you know and everybody's giving Nate Robinson credit and saying, yo, it takes a real, you know, it takes real heart to get in the ring. Yes, it does. But it takes real brains to not get in the ring.

Somebody like Floyd Mayweather was super smart. You know why Floyd Mayweather was super smart? Because he picked his opponents. And he fought when he wanted to fight. Okay. And he fought who he wanted to fight. And he fought them how he wanted to fight them. Nate Robinson training for that little bit of time,

getting in the ring with somebody who's been training the past four years. somebody who I've watched on paper review before, somebody who actually boxes, that was just a terrible idea. A terrible idea. He needs to fire every single person around him. I don't give a fuck. Certain things aren't worth the money, man.

Because now you got to be a fucking meme for the rest of your goddamn life. How do you ruin your basketball legacy and you ain't even had a goddamn basketball in your hand? How you ruin your basketball legacy in the boxing ring? Whenever people think Nate Robinson from that one, they're not thinking three-time dunk champion.

They're not thinking his 10-year NBA career. they're thinking about that knockout that he's suffered in the ring against Jake Paul. And I don't even blame Nate Robinson. I don't think it's Nate Robinson's fault. I mean, it is kind of his fault because he's a grown man. He makes his own decisions.

But whoever he had around him, advised him wrong. Or maybe he just wasn't listening. I don't motherfucking know. But either way, it wasn't a good look for him. Y'all saw him get knocked out. And I want to see Jake Paul fight Clarissa Shields next.

That's what you should call out. All right. Clarissa motherfucking shields. But. But what? What was, what you thought was, you know, worth the money was watching Tyson in? Roy Jones. Well, I did that because, I watched it because of the years of entertainment that Mike Tyson and Roy Jones have provided me.

You know, Roy Jones was the greatest fighter of the 90s. Hands down. There's nobody that knows boxing that will tell you different. I know Mike Tyson was exciting. Mike Tyson had the video games. Mike Tyson had the reputation. Baddest man on the planet. Yes, he was all of that.

But when it comes to pure boxing, just who's a better skilled boxer? Who was the best boxer, the greatest boxer? Roy fucking Jones. What's what I thought? When he was boxing, who did you think really show one? Do you think it was Tyson? Who the fuck cares? It literally was just watching two old men in there tussling.

You ever seen two? You ever seen two old men fight for real? Like at a cookout or something? No. When they really fight it to cookout, you know they're not really going to hurt each other until one of them go grab a weapon. Now you got to keep them from going to get the gun.

I'll keep them from pulling out a knife with some shit like that. I'll keep them from cracking a bottle and then trying to cut the person with the bottle. Other than that, all they're going to do is wrestle until they're out of breath. That's what I... At this point where I thought Mike Tyson is starting to, like, see that or feel that demon or whatever he says he has. I don't think so.

I think that fight did exactly what it was supposed to do. I think that, you know, you were watching two guys who they know how to put on the show and they know how not to hurt each other. And I think that they sold the fight well. I think Mike Tyson was made to look aggressive, you know, leaning into the reputation that he has. And he looked aggressive and he looked tough, I guess, for a 50-something-year-old man. Roy was claiming he was hurt. and that's going to open the door for Mike Tyson's new Legends League.

And people are going to continue to pay money to see Mike Tyson fight in the future. They did like 1.5 million pay-per-view buys at $50 dollars a pop. You do the fucking math. You know what I'm saying? 1.5 million paper view buys have $50 a pop. Yes, they're going to keep selling us these geriatric motherfucking fights. Okay, you're going to see Avanda Holyfield in there. You're going to see, you might see Bustis Douglas in there.

You might see all you, who knows? I don't even know. Is Buster Douglas still alive? I don't know. Lennox Lewis? I think he died. Buster Douglas died? I got a double check.

See? That's how you know motherfuckers is old. When you have to check to see if they're still alive. And by the way, these guys ain't that old. I mean, they're 50 something.

Like, I don't know, Buster should be, Buster, if he's alive, he should have been in his 50s. He's what? He's still alive. Yeah, apologies. He's alive.

But that's how it is when you get older. When you get older, and people ain't seen you or why they got to ask, you motherfucking dead. But I thought it was brilliant. I thought that fight was positively brilliant.

Not because of the fight, but just because the way they sold it. 1.5 million paper review buys, you know, the concerts in between, the great undercard, which I knew was going to be the most entertaining part of the night

between Jake Paul and Nate Robinson. I thought it was great. What else did I see this week that made me say, what a fucking idiot? Oh, Democrats, and I want you all to add this.

I want to, I want you to add this because, you know, I always talk about Democrats, you know, being terrible at messaging. And I saw Barack Obama. I think he was on, I think it's called Good Morning America, Snapchat or Snapchat America, something like that. And he was having a conversation about defunding the police. If you watch the whole four minutes and 55 seconds, you know, there's no way that you couldn't understand what he was saying. he totally agrees with the why of what defunding the police is. The why of what defunding the police is is you want to take, you know,

money from these inflated police budgets and reinvest it back into the community, reinvest it back into the school system, reinvested into, you know, proper mental health care, reinvest it into just health care, period, you know, create job training programs, just reinvest the money into the hood, to the people that actually need it, provide opportunities for these folks. And he agrees with all that. He agrees with reimagining, you know, how people police in America. He agrees with police reform, all of that stuff.

He just simply said from a politician's perspective, once you hear defund the police, motherfuckers ain't hearing shit else you got to say. It's interesting. We take for granted if you want people to buy your sneakers that you're going to market it to your audience. If a musician drops a record, there's going to try to reach certain audiences,

speaking to folks where they are. It's no different in terms of ideas. If you believe, as I do, that we should be able to reform the criminal justice system so that it's not biased and treats everybody fairly, I guess you can use a snappy slogan like, defund the police, but you know you've lost a big audience the minute you say it,

which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done. But if you instead say, let's reform the police department so that, everybody's being treated fairly. You know, divert young people from getting into crime. And if there's a homeless guy, maybe we send a mental health worker there instead of

an armed unit that could end up resulting in a tragedy. Suddenly, a whole bunch of folks who might not otherwise listen to you are listening to you. And the reason he's right is because Democrats are so bad at messaging that they let the conservatives, they let the Republicans co-op the defund the police slogan or whatever you you want to call it and turn it into something that it's not. So when people here to fund the police, they hear abolish the police, they hear get rid of the police and not actually focusing on what the why is, which is taking money out of these inflated police budgets and reinvestening that money back into communities that need it.

There's no way anybody can flip that narrative if you just constantly talk about the why. And all I saw all day yesterday was motherfuckers arguing about the slogan. police reform don't need a fucking slogan. It just needs to be explained. That's it. And by the way, there's nothing wrong with the fun of the police. It's just that the Democrats are so bad at fucking messaging that, like I said, they let the Republicans co-opted and change the motherfucking narrative.

And there's one thing that Barack Obama said. Two things that he said I thought was brilliant. One, he said that Democrats need to stop leaning on all the old establishment Democrats and start leaning into people like AOC. If you want to move people, they are moved by stories that connect with their own lives. They're not moved by ideology. Now, one thing I will say about the Democratic Party, promoting young people is really important. We stick so long with the same old folks and don't make room for new voices.

You know, the Democratic National Convention, I thought, was really successful considering the pandemic. But, you know, the fact that an AOC only got, what, three minutes or five minutes. when she speaks to a broad section of young people who are interested in what she has to say, even if they don't agree with everything she says. New blood's always good. And he's absolutely right. And the reason he's absolutely right is because AOC knows how to message and communicate to those people that they possibly could be losing.

But it's this line right here. This line right here that Barack Obama said sums up so much shit in regards to everything that's going on in this world, especially on social media. Barack Obama said, the key is deciding, do you want to actually get something done, or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with?

And if you want to get something done in a democracy, in a country as big and diverse as ours, then you've got to be able to meet people where they are and play a game of addition and not subtraction. That's all social media is. It's group think.

You get on there, and it's constant reinforcement from people that already fucking agree with you. But that's echo chamber shit. How are you bringing anybody in new? Chris, am I saying anything wrong? Stop me if I am.

No, no, I agree with you. And I agree with him on that. I think the area where he's kind of playing both sides of the fence, though, is when he talks about we have to listen to new voices, which I agree with him. Like, I think AOC is the future of the Democratic Party. I think Katie Porter is the future of the Democratic Party. but who's really responsible for Joe Biden being the candidate, the president-elect right now?

Jim Clyburn. Obama. It's Obama. No, Jim Clyburn. You think it's that? Well, a combination because Jim Clyburn is the one who got him over in the primaries. True. But it was with Obama's push and cosine.

You know what I mean? So you could look at that as being hypocritical or you could look at that as an example of what he's talking about, which is saying things is great. But there's practicality. You've got to be pragmatist. And, you know, Biden, I guess, was the pragmatic choice in their opinion. And I think that's what people get, uh, get fucked up with Barack Obama, right? Like, I think we look at Barack Obama and the symbol, the symbol of Barack Obama is revolutionary, right?

Black president of America. The head of, you know, black president of America. That's revolutionary. Like, oh, shit. America got a black president. The symbol of Barack is revolutionary. But that's it. He's politician.

at the end of the day. He's a centrist Democrat. Like he's, and he was explaining. Barely. Barely. Yeah. He actually leads a little bit more conservative in some ways, would you say? Yeah. I mean, another thought I had, and I don't know if you've heard that, is there, has there been pushed back? I mean, he's being very vocal right now. He's being very out in front right now because he has a book to promote, right? Should he have been this outspoken before the election? Yes, Barack Obama should have been this outspoken two years ago, three years ago. And that's what I've always said. Once again, Democrats' messaging is terrible.

The reason it's terrible is because everything that Donald Trump was doing was not normal. It was teetering on fascism. And we were really headed into, you know, really being under a fascist regime in a real way. They didn't do a good enough job of ringing the alarm about that. they made it seem like he was just another Republican. I have a question about that, though, because aren't you, because people will argue they're happy that Donald Trump was the president because it brings out the racism.

Like on the Democratic side, I hear people say that it brought out racism and that it's another perspective, like a real perspective instead of a politician perspective and everything. Well, one thing America's good at doing is looking at the bright side. That's just the truth to the matter. Anything that's fucked up, anything that's negative, you can find something positive in it if you want to. And it might be some bullshit.

You know what I mean? But you can spin anything to make it seem like, oh, well, you know, let's look at the bright side, guys. You know, it's a lesson in everything. There's a lesson in this. Yeah, sometimes the lesson is, motherfuckers are stupid. Right.

That's just the truth to the matter. Motherbuckers were stupid when they voted for Donald Trump. We took the presidency for granted. And I can understand why people felt that way, because in our minds, some of us felt like we never felt the trickle-down effects of what a president was doing in the White House, you know? But for whatever reason, it feel like everybody felt Trump.

Everybody all walks of life. Black, white, rich, poor, everyone. It just feels like everybody felt that. And I was reading, I read Barack Obama's book because, you know, we interviewed Barack Obama last week. And David Axelrod has a line in the book that made me think about, you know, what a second Trump administration could have looked like. And I'm on, I'm on.

on record is saying, you know, the reason you can't connect with these brothers and sisters in the hood or connect with these brothers and sisters in these porn disenfranchised areas is because they're already in hell. And that's very true. But David Axelrod said, when people already have it bad, they don't possibly think it can get worse. But it can't. You know what I'm saying? So I was just like, that is what a second Trump administration would have looked like for America. Yeah, you living in hell right now, but shit could get way worse, whatever that would have looked like.

But luckily, luckily we avoided it. But, you know, just to go back to what Barack Obama said, I don't think he's wrong about the premise of the defund the police slogan, as he called it, the snappy slogan. It's a non-starter for some people. But let me ask you a question on that, though, because. did the Democrats create the slogan defunded police or did that kind of organically rise out of what was happening on the streets and then they ran with it? Yes.

And that's another point I'm trying to make. Thank you for saying that, Chris. Politicians aren't supposed to talk like activists. Right. Activists are supposed to talk like activists. Let the activists be radical. Let the activists talk about calling for defunding the police. Let the activists hit the streets and raise hell about police reform.

and then the politicians that agree with them, but no, they can't go sit in Congress and try to get things like defunding the police pass as far as the title is concerned. But yes, we can reallocate resources from these police departments into the communities that need it. You just can't call it defunding the police.

But once again, if you approach it with that narrative, if you approach it with that explanation, if you talk about the why, not the what. Don't talk about the what to defunding the police. police to why? Why does this need to happen? Nobody can dispute the why. Nobody. I think it's kind of ridiculous, though, because when I hear defund, it's what also the definition of defund means, though. Why are people not understanding that? Because the Republicans took it

and turned it into something. It wasn't. Like literally, they brainwashed America to make America think defunding the police means abolish. Defunding the police means get rid of. That's why the best person I've seen answer that question with Senator Kamala Harris. Well, now, Madam Vice President, Kamala has, and I posted this yesterday on my Instagram when she was on the view. Because Megan McCain, the way Megan McCain even worded the sentence, she said, what do you think about people wanting to defund the police, abolish the police? It's two different things. Kamala didn't even bite on the defund the police.

Kamala said, yes, I do believe in, you know, taking away money from these bloated police budgets and giving it to the people that needed. And she was breaking down the things that people need. then Megan McCain double down and came back and said, yeah, but what do you think about defunding the police? Kamala said, define defunding the police. Don't even get caught up in the semantics. That shit is a misnomer.

Don't even get caught up in that. Like we know what the funding the police is. We know the why of defunding the police. Focus on that. Everything else is just going to have you arguing about fucking words. Who gives a shit? that's my thoughts on it. I think that's all I have for positively brilliant

and what a fucking idiot. What? How you liked Joyner Lucas on the Breakfast Club? Snoop Dog getting a isn't getting like a deal to be a We can do that in shit we won't care about next week.

Okay. We can do that shit we don't care about next week. Let's face it. Let me do this ad. Okay. Salute to Lucy. I want to thank Lucy for being a sponsor of the brilliant idiots this week. Lucy Nicotine is a company founded by Cal Tech scientists and former smokers looking for a better and cleaner nicotine alternative.

Finally, tobacco alternatives that don't suck. Research and develop for three years to be made for people, not patients. Lucy has created a nicotine gum with four milligrams of nicotine that comes in three flavors, wintergreen, cinnamon, and pomegranate. Lucy also has allogens with four milligrams of nicotine and cherry ice flavor. Each and every flavor actually tastes great. And it's convenient and discreet. I've heard it tastes great. Okay.

It's so funny that we're doing this ad because in Barack Obama's book of Promise Land, he talks about how he chews on nicotine gum because he was smoking seven and eight cigarettes a day, but the nicotine gum keeps him from doing that. So, man, if I have Barack Obama's address, I'd definitely send him some of these Lucy's, okay? Just know, it's 2020. get rid of your cigarettes like Barack Obama did. Unplug your vape. Throw out your dip.

And one time I accidentally swallowed a little bit of it, I threw up so fucking much. Please get rid of the goddamn dip.

I didn't even know they still sell dip nowadays. That's something that goes in between right here. Yes, man. Not a COVID-friendly practice. Hell no.

Now, Taylor, give me some shit I won't care about next week. All right. So with Scottie Pippin, junior, or not sorry, it's not even Scottie Pippin, but Larson Pippin. Getting caught, holding hands with Malik Beasley. Luther Malik Beasley. Malik Beasley got framed. Black men don't cheat. It's fucked up how.

By the way, that's social media in a nutshell. Social media in a nutshell is literally we see something. We're not even fully aware of what we're seeing because we're not seeing the full context of whatever that thing is. We all formed these opinions. I saw Belique Beasley walking in Miami holding hands. And the way it was bought to me and the way it was spun to me was he was cheating on his wife. And I was like, yo, this young boy is wild. You know what I mean? I'm like, he's 24 years old.

Black men don't cheat, but young black boys do. And I'm like, he's still in his boy phase. He walking around Miami holding hands with his side chick. I was like, yo, this dude is wilding. And he clearly wants to divorce. Come to find out him and his wife been separated. But people are coming at Larsa because, you know, he's older or she's younger. She's older than him and dating, you know, someone younger.

That's corny. Huh? That's corny because that's a double standard. Don't nobody say that when old men be with younger girls? I know. But I just saw some reactions of people and, like, they had a picture of, I guess, their kids and saying that they would be feeling type of way. You know, the sad part about that is we always speak from a perspective of not being

in a person's shoes. Because guess what? I don't know how old loss of Pippin is. How old is she? I don't know. I guess she has to be Kim's age, so I guess 40. Kim who?

Kim Kardashian. They were friends. Google her age real quick. Let me see how old loss of Pippin is. It might be fake, too. What, her age? Yeah. It says that she is, yeah, 46.

46 years old. You knocking that woman being 46, fucking a 24-year-old until you get 46, and you tired of fucking these niggas that's on bluechie. you know what I'm saying when you get to a certain age and the only thing you can do is fuck these men that's on blue chew they got to get this blue chew to do you right you're going on some young penis too all right so don't don't knock that woman you like that I don't like that

that is a double standard I don't approve of because if that man was if it was a 46 year old man with a 24 year old girl motherfuckers would be applauding okay and saluting that man so normalized cougars being with young women shit Taylor mom being my DMM I'm All the time. See, I knew, I knew something about it happened. My mom is happily married with a black man. I'm not saying she's not. All I'm saying is, you've been in my DMs for the past two weeks, offering me pie.

And what's her? What's her? Asking me over and over, has Taylor given you my pie yet? Why do you make it sound? Whatever. What's her IG name? Philly girls, Philly chick, Philly chick, 215. Oh, it's OG.

Tell his mom's IG is OG Philly Chick 215 All right Anyways I'm sorry they tried to frame you my brother Black men don't cheat Keep up to good work But his wife said that She was unaware of what was going on

Well I guess it doesn't matter They're separated They don't have to know You're right So G Herbo More shit we won't care about next week G Herbo He is charged in Massachusetts

With elaborate fraud scheme with designer puppies, private jets, and Jamaican villa? Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what a designer puppy is. I think it's the... A baby panda. I feel like the designer puppies are like kind of what...

What's that what Kylie has? She has these ugly little dogs and they're really... I don't like them. What if we find out a designer puppy is a baby panda? It's not, though. But these dogs are mad expensive, though. like a couple thousands. I don't have an opinion on the G. Herbal situation.

Just like I don't have an opinion on the Casanova situation. Because I feel, and I don't think, I don't know if G. Herbal was a RICO case. I think the RICO, I don't, is RICO just in New York? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if the RICO is a national thing or not. I don't fucking know. But I feel like sometimes they grab these brothers who have a lot to lose. And they lumped them up in these cases, you know, with people that they may know, may not know, people that they may grow up with, have grown up with, whatever, just to try to get them to fold.

You know what I mean? Just to try to get them to give up information just because they know that these brothers want to be on the street. And they're just trying to, you know, convict people to build cases. So I don't know. I don't have an opinion because I don't know any of the details of the situation. I mean, I've read up on G. Harbour's situation. right up on Cassanova situation. And I just think it's a terrible situation for, you know,

both of those brothers to be in. And I truly do wish them the best because I just know them from being a radio personality and, you know, interviewing them and having conversations with them. You know, I met tax, I mean, I met Cassanova way back in the day. I think he had just came home and he was on house arrest. And, you know, he was doing security to make ends meet. You know, when you, when you're on probation of parole, you have to have a job. And at the time, now was his job.

And, you know, to see him transition from that to becoming a rapper and a personality that people enjoy and people fuck with, I thought that was dope. So to see him in this situation, I think is horrible. So I don't have an opinion on ease of situation because I'm not one of y'all Instagram detectives, you know. I was tripping. Say what? I was going to say even a former NFL player, Carlos Rogers was caught in a scam too. but I didn't read up on him. Who?

Carlos Rogers. He's from the former Washington football team in San Francisco 49ers. I think I did read that story. Listen, all of y'all motherfuckers that have been participating in PPP fraud,

you're going to fucking prison. There's no if-ans a bunch about it. If you have participated in PPP fraud in any way, shape or form, you're going to fucking jail. It may not be the day. It may not be tomorrow, but you're going to fucking jail. So, God bless. All right.

That's what you get. That fucking fake-ass business, that fake-ass business you put on that application. That shit is as real as Santa Claus. I did hear that from someone who's involved in improving the loans that they think, it's like you said, it's not going to happen today, it's not going to happen tomorrow, but they're going to come looking for this stuff, for the documentation and the proof. And the person who told me was like,

give it to maybe three years, a lot of people are going to get caught up and a lot of problems. Yes, a lot of people getting caught up now. Already? Well, yeah, they've arrested a lot of people for PPP fraud, but it's going to be worse in the next two or three years because right now they get the big guys, right?

The guys that are stupid enough to get a million dollars from PPP, hundreds of thousands of dollars, But all you little $1,000 motherfuckers, you're all going to jail too? Well, I just heard someone in, like someone that I went to school with, she just got caught $400,000 from a small business. That she never had. The business never existed. That's a whole nother story with her. Pink pussy lips LLC.

It's all for a nigger. What you mean? She just spent mad bread on him. and it was 400,000, like. Wow. Now he's going to be out here dicking down another girl with money that you risked your life for.

Took a penitentiary chance for. I don't feel sorry for them, man. I really don't. And the main reason I don't feel sorry for them is because I know a lot of people with small businesses who couldn't get access to that money. That's the other thing that bugs me out, though. How is it so easy for the scammers to get loans

but people who have actual legitimate small businesses? She used their car, though. She used their card. They had a business card and she just would run or spend money on that card. How much are you good? I didn't even know what's going on. Don't do that. I just saying that I know someone and now the guy left her for a white girl.

That's what I'm going to say. Wow. Speaking of white, every girl you saw on vacation during the pandemic. in a white swimsuit absolutely was participating in PPP fraud. The white swimsuit is a telltale sign of motherfucking PPP fraud.

The white swimsuit with a random woman on vacation, telltale sign of PPP fraud. Mark my words. I know somebody that's going to jail. Watch. Two years from now, tell her. Uh,

watch. Two years from now, she's going to jail. Mark my motherfucking words. But you know, the thing with the PPP, it's not only fraudulent businesses that don't exist. I mean, at the end of the day, these things are loans. And I think a lot of people are operating as if it's free money. You're going to have to pay this back.

Now, granted, you're not going to have to pay it back at any sort of significant interest rate. But you're still, so if you get 70, you've still got to pay that 70 back. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year. But, you know, I think a lot of people just assume it's all going to be forgiven or it's free money. It's not. It's a loan.

So that's how. It's forgiven if you can, if you're actually using it to pay employees. If you, if you can prove that you have kept the same people on payroll for an extended period of time, I think they do forgive those. But for people who just kind of fudged it and came out with like fake employees, it was like, you got to give that money back. And I don't think people are really prepared for that. I mean, because I got a PPP loan, but I actually, I actually, I actually have employees and I used it for my employees. And I didn't get no crazy-ass amount of money. You know what I'm saying?

I did it because my financial team said I could do it. I was like, why not you have employees? You know, and I kept all my people on payroll. I mean, you see with J.T. What happened to her? That's why she went to June in the first place. salute to J.T. Today's J.T. born day, God damn.

You're going to start showing J.T. some motherfucking respect. Okay, J.T. from the city girls. And I was telling Taylor this earlier, JT from the City Girls is actually one of the dopest female rappers out. And if COVID hadn't a hit, the City Girls absolutely positively would have been the biggest shit of the summer. Because that project that they put out, what was it called, City on Lock? Yeah. I think it was called City on Lock. City on Lock is a phenomenal

motherfucking project just the records they had on there like what is pussy talk That's your favorite song on the area Yo Don't act like J.T. Young Miami and Doja Cat didn't Snap on pussy talk

Show some fucking respect to JT fucking broke niggas Broke niggas don't deserve no pussy Now that's a slogan That's a slogan not even a I was saying that. Just be clear. Nope, she ain't say it like that.

You don't. How she said it? It was on one of her songs, like her mixtapes and everything. Well, I know one thing. Not even a Republican could fucking ruin that slogan. It ain't no remixing broke niggas don't deserve no pussy.

That is real, clear, cut, precise, and to the point. Young Miami got busy on that. J.T. got busy on that. J.T. said, J.T. said the only thing... What she said? Oh, she said, the, only thing white is the lies that you tell it.

And you ain't moving work. That's dreams that you're selling. If you really in the kitchen, pay a bitch tuition. She ain't asking for no fucking scams. She don't want no car. She don't want no burq. She did ask for a burkin in the beginning of it. But on top of the burking, if you really in the motherfucking kitchen, pay a bitch tuition.

God damn it. Yo, by the way, that's how you take a negative and turn it into a positive. If you're doing something you ain't got no business doing, you're in the kitchen, you're cooking up dope, you're selling dope. Take that money, invest into somebody else. Take that money, pay her girls tuition. Let her go make something to herself because you're just going to go to jail. And guess what might happen?

When you go to jail in two or three years, she might be your attorney. Because you paid her fucking tuition. Y'all going to show JT some goddamn respect. Happy born day to JT, man. JT, I'm telling you, right now, if the COVID hadn't a hit, that album the city girls put out earlier this summer would have been the biggest fucking shit those two young ladies make great music

amazing music that ratchy shit that y'all like so so wait so going on today because I think y'all talked about it a couple weeks ago that no happened this week when the guy got upset the owner got upset with people dancing on the furniture oh yeah yeah I saw that

so if that song came on would you think that like, okay. Yo, broke knickers don't deserve no brunch. All right. And yo, stop. First of all, that restaurant, I think it's called True Kitchen Cocktails or something like that, why do y'all keep talking about the music?

Explain that to me. What did the music have to do with that situation? Like you say, like there's some tales or there's some, what do you call it, some spiritual? Negro spiritual. Yeah, Negro spirituals that make you want to, you know, I want to go as far as, like, I didn't know they were helping on furniture,

but, you know, it makes you want to. to twerking and dance. That man went to those women two times. Yeah, I didn't know that. I asked him nicely to just cool out. You know what I'm saying?

Let's enjoy brunch. You know, let's let's, you know, no twerking or whatever the fuck it was. That young lady as a fuck you intentionally stood on the table, put her hands on the glass, and started twerking. What do you expect that man to do?

What do you, What do you think the white man would have done in that situation? Call the cop. You think the white man would have been calm and collective and went and had a conversation with them a couple of times? No, the white man would have called the police and had them dragged the fuck out. That brother went to them twice.

Acknowledged them, asked them to please stop. They didn't stop. She did that as a fuck you. Now, I don't think he should have stood in front of the restaurant and cursed it everybody. Yeah, that's what I didn't understand that part. But I didn't mind the speech. I didn't mind the speech.

I didn't like him telling him to get the fuck out. Yeah. But I didn't mind the speech because I don't know what context that speech was in. I don't know if those young ladies were still there. I don't know what it was. I don't know, you know, why he chose to have that conversation to that room in that way. But I think it's different when you're black and you're talking to a group of black people. He thought that he could connect with his people in a different way.

Like it was almost like talking to family. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm a black business owner. So I want to have this, you know, Martin Luther King, I have a brunch speech. You know what I mean? And I want to connect with y'all in a real way. I didn't think he did anything wrong, to be totally honest,

other than telling him saying, you'll, get the fuck out, like saying that to the whole restaurant. I don't think he should have talked to the whole restaurant in that way based off, you know, what happened with that young lady. But once again, he's an owner. That's his motherfucking spot. You walk in these white people establishment. That shit say no shirt,

no socks, no shoes, no service. Y'all don't give the white man no lip. You put your goddamn shoes on, you put your motherfucking shirt on, and you're going there and you get your service. Treat the black people with the same respect. Yeah, I get that too. But you know what?

Back to your other question, well, just doing, make sure that's a clip because I saw a meme that was like about based off of that, what happened. And I'll just show it to you because they were saying black people will dance to anything. And it was like a video of a black person dancing to like the ice cream

song and everything. The ice cream song. What the fuck is the ice cream song? Like the ice cream truck song. Huh? I'll show you the video. Don't worry. What does that have to do? What are you talking about? Because you're saying what's the, you were asking the first question you said, why what was wrong with the music that he was playing or why y'all making people? I don't think. I'm telling you, there's nothing wrong with the music. Yes, you walk into an establishment.

And, you know, if I hear a motherfucking, you know, boy, that pussy talk. Yeah, I'm a fucking, I'm a, I can't help it. You know what I'm saying? I hear a knuck a few bucks. It makes me feel away. I can't help it. Those are Negro spirituals. But she did that as a fuck you.

Yeah. She didn't do that because she couldn't. First of all, is throw that ass in a circle of a Negro spiritual? In Philly, it is. It is? I don't remember that song a lot. Either way, I don't think it had nothing to do with the music. I just think it was a sign.

It was disrespect. No, it was. Especially if he went back to them and she just kept me. Yeah, man. Come on. He serves good food there, too. Clearly, that shit was packed.

And ain't nobody in there had on no motherfucking mask. You have the shit y'all should be complaining about. No, but they were sitting down inside, don't you? Man, there wasn't no social distance. And then people were as close as hell. They were. They were.

But I'm just saying. All right. Give me some more shit you won't care about next year. Drake announces launch of Nike sub label, which he also. I like the name. of it? What is it called? I didn't look at the thing.

It's like short for nocturnal. And he said it's for the creative who be up at night. Nogurnal creative process, yeah. I like that. What's the name of it? What's the actual name of it? Nocturnal creative process. But I thought it was short, I thought it was like nocto or something like that. Yeah, nocata.

N-O-C-T-A. I love that name. I think that's dope. Hold on. N-O-C-T-A. Is that an acronym or something? Let's see. Either way, I like it. I like the whole, I like the branding of the nighttime creative process because that's tapping into, that's tapping into a market people haven't tapped into yet. And I used to always like when Drake would tweet out scary hours.

Well, I only remember him doing that once. And that was when back-to-back dropped. So I could be biased. And the candle he's making. I don't care about that. Okay. I don't do a fuck. I don't want a candle that smells like.

Drake. Well, he smells good. Okay. He should have one called bottom. Why? That should be the first one. Started from the bottom. Would you buy a Drake candle called bottom?

That should be the first one he puts out called bottom. Now you would look buying a candle. You're like, oh, it smells like Drake. And that should call bottom? So he smells like Drake's bottom? Drake's ass? Aubrey's ass. Okay, more shit you don't care about your team.

You didn't talk about it with, like, Obama going to take the, what I should call? The test, the COVID vaccine in camera, on camera. Yeah, I don't know if y'all heard. Barack Obama. It was him, George Bush, Bill Clinton. George Bush said they'll all take the vaccine for coronavirus. I don't give a shit. First of all, how do we know that they get in it?

And they say they would do it publicly. How do we know they actually getting the real virus injected into them? I mean, the real vaccine injected into them. We don't fucking know. They can show us anything on TV. How do we know that they're actually getting injected with the vaccine? And I'm not an anti-vaccine person, even though I've never gotten the flu vaccine in my life. Clearly, when I was younger, we got vaccinated because, you know, you had to be in school and stuff.

And, you know, my kids have had shots now to be in school. but I'm not going to be the first person in line for that damn COVID-19 vaccine. I'm not either. And Barack Obama was talking and he said something like he understands why black people, you know, are leery about taking the vaccine

because of the Tuskegee experiment and things of that nature. And it's just like, so I'm going to take it to show y'all. Let's never forget Barack Obama's half white. That's his white side talking. You know what I'm saying? The black side of him is like,

you take, stick it in one, stick it in the left arm. The right arm is the black side. We ain't, we cool over here. Like that's his white side talking, telling everybody to go out there and take your vaccine. Black side is like, eh, I don't know, Barry.

They also said that health care workers and long-term care facilities will be like the first, or suggested to take the first ones. As they should. Yeah. As they should. Healthcare workers are around.

People with coronavirus all the time. You know, people who watch over older folks. They should be, you know, on the front lines are taking it. Chris, you're going to take it? I'm very torn about it, to be perfectly honest. And you're not even black or white.

You're not even black and white like Barack and you torn. So imagine how Barack feel. Exactly. I don't actually take the flu vaccine because of Lyme. So I really don't take vaccines anymore. But if you look at what a vaccine is, I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking like, okay, they say this vaccine has a 90-

33% rate of success. And I think people think that means if you get the shot, there's a 93% chance you don't get COVID. It doesn't work like that. What it really is about is how many people take the vaccine in general. So the thing's only going to be successful if the vast, vast, vast majority of Americans take the vaccine. If not, the percentage could be down like 50 or something because the COVID's still going to be

circulating. So on one hand, I know for this thing to go away and for the country to get back to where it needs to be, I need to be part of the overall population that's taking the vaccine. We all do. That's the only way that any of this shit's going to work. On the flip side, I'm like you. I don't want to be the first one. I want somebody else to take it. But the problem is how long is it going, it's not like people are going to take the vaccine and fall down and drop dead or get sick the next day, any side effects will probably take weeks or months to kind of rise to the surface anyway. So it's a real tricky situation, to be honest. By the way, they don't need us. And by us, I mean black people. Sure they do. Majority, white people make up, what, 70% of this

fucking country? Let all of them go out there and get the vaccine. That's more than enough. Are you saying, Chris, that a large majority of people have to get the vaccine in order to create some type of herd immunity? I don't understand what you were saying. Essentially, there's two terms. It's like efficiency versus, I can't remember off the top of my head, but kind of in like layman's language, almost everybody has to take it for it to work. And you can say white people will take it. I can promise you the people who aren't going to take it are all these Republicans who are running around, refusing to wear masks and that sort of stuff. So right there, you can take all those people off the board. Then you got African Americans who are historically for a reason

skeptical about taking vaccines. So, you know, as I see it now, you're going to have a large segment of the population who's not going to want to take this thing right off the bat. So people are talking about, you know, they're going to start rolling it out in the next couple weeks and return to normalcy by summer. I don't quite see it. But I hope I'm wrong. You think they'll make it mandatory? I doubt it. If they didn't make math mandatory, I don't think they'll make the vaccine mandatory. The biggest problem I have, man, is, you know, you hear certain people talk and they talk about how, you know,

coronavirus is impacting the black community and you got to make sure that this vaccine gets to the people that need it most, you know. And I think it was Governor Cuomo who said, you know, we got to make sure black and brown people have access to this. I don't like shit like that. And the reason I don't like shit like that is because they don't have that sense of urgency when it comes to anything else. where's the sense of urgency to invest money into the black community

where's the sense of urgency to make sure our schools are good where's the sense of urgency to make sure that you know police are defunded where the sense of urgency for job training programs like there's no sense of urgency to ever put any great resources in our community any other time but when it comes to this vaccine all of a sudden motherfuckers want to be captain saving nigger and freaking come through the hood with this like right because we need you we need you right now that's basically what it is

is. Well, I'm not with it. But listen, I'm not, I'm not going to say I'm against it. I'm just saying I'm not going to be on the front line. I treat it like a fucking PlayStation. You all run out there, pay all that money for the new PlayStation 5, and then six months when they got the bugs worked out and they got better updates, that's when I'll go out there and grab one. If I need it. I may not even need it. What else you got to tell them? Go ahead, Chris, what did you say? No, everyone's going to have to get it at some point. It's just how many people, I think as many people are skeptical like us, they're going to be just as many people maybe who are going to be like, oh, a vaccine, fine, sign me up. And then I can go back to normal. But then the problem is you're going to have those people going back to normal. They're going to be exposed. So, you know, long story short, buckle up. I don't, I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. But again, I hope I'm wrong. Really? Nah, it's definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Screech's going to be back to normal by summertime, Chris. I hope so.

I hope so, too. But you think that, like, no mask, like, no one's going to be still. No, no, no, no, no. I would still wear masks. I mean, I think the Asians had it right. Yes. I used to walk to the airport and used to see Asians with the mask on. And I used to always say to myself, I used to always say to myself and I used to tell my wife,

what the fuck do they know that we don't know? Like, why they always wearing masks? This is years. They've been wearing masks. Right, Chris? Every year when I go to Taiwan, you take the subway, you walk down the street, a lot of people have masks on. And again, the thing to remember is the mask isn't about protecting you. It's about protecting other people. It's to stop you from spreading your germs to other people. So I

think masks are here to stay. I mean, I don't see myself taking a subway without a mask. I might get on the subway next year. I'm going to have a mask on. I can't see myself getting a haircut or anything where I'm in close proximity to somebody without a man. I mean, I think people are going to be wearing masks going forward. And that's just how it's been in Asia. And I think we're going to adopt that. And, you know, they knew. It's the same way.

Like, Asians don't wear shoes inside. The second you come inside, not all Asians, but, you know, my wife's family, a lot of ages don't wear shoes. And, you know, when my wife started asking me to take my shoes off, I was like, why am I doing this? This is crazy. I never took my shoes off coming inside.

Once you start doing it. What you mean? That's a South thing. Is that South thing, too? Yeah. Wipe your feelings. and take your shoes off and you walk in my house.

No, my wife don't want to. I mean, take your shoes off and leave them by the door. Yes, my wife said now. We're walking out

and take your shoes off. White people relate to that, but I'm here to tell you once you start doing it, you realize it makes a lot of sense. You're not tracking dog shit, piss, all that dirt all around your house.

We've been doing that since we was kids. Take your shoe. I'm talking about as soon as you walk and take them shit. Don't you bring them dirty ass shoes in my house? Immediately. Really? Like, Yes, hell yeah.

That's like that. I can't get out with today. White people are not watching their legs in the shower. This falls into the same category. I don't wash your legs for a real. I keep hearing that. I don't know if that's true or not. I think there's probably some truth to it.

Why wouldn't you wash your legs? That's a stretch. Isn't the same thing as guys? Y'all don't wash your jeans like that, right? White people don't wash their legs and black men don't work out their legs. Big as hell at the top And don't do no leg workout Yeah, I'm gonna keep wearing a mask

The mask could trick you though mask make you brush your teeth more That I'll tell you I'm like, I walked out of the radio station another day And I kept staying the page I'm like, do you smell dog shit? Did we step in something? And I kept smelling it And I'm like, what the fuck?

Boy, that shit was humbling when you get in the car And realize it's your brother That shit is humbling. A lot of people weren't going to or brush their teeth anymore because of the mask. No. Hell no. Ain't no way in hell because whatever your mouth smelled like

comes right back to you when you got that damn mask on. All right. That's it for shit you won't care about next week. Let's pay some bills. Come back and do some church announcements and then do some asking idiots. You forgot one thing. What?

You guys don't talk about the Dave Chappelle. I go on Netflix. You don't care. Oh, we didn't talk. Oh, we was off last week. Dave Chappelle and Netflix. What were my thoughts on Dave Chappelle and Netflix? My thoughts on Dave Chappelle, I think Dave Chappelle summed it up very well

when Dave Chappelle said they didn't do anything wrong because I signed the contract. I signed the contract, no, no. He said what they're doing is perfectly legal because I signed the contract. What is it right? it's a good question can you explain what it is

because I didn't really understand what that story was about okay we can insert some of it basically Dave Chappelle Chappelle show was on Netflix Dave Chappelle

doesn't get any money from Netflix screaming the Chappelle show because of a deal he signed with CBS Viacom or Viacom back in the day and you know

it's that line man that line that says you know We own your IP for perpetuity. You know what I mean? Which is a line that I get taken out quite often. That's just in the contract. That's the thing about contracts.

Like, you can't even take contracts. You can't even be offended by him. Like, it's nothing to take personal. It's business. You know what I mean? And you just have to negotiate your business properly. Dave Chappelle said, I was 28 years old. He was young in the game, right?

He had a newborn son. He just wanted to eat. So he signed something. Some people can say he got taken advantage of. Probably did, you know, but he's 28 years old. He's 28 years old. He's young. You know, he didn't know any better.

And now that he's older and he has the leverage to change that situation, he's using it. That's usually how it goes in the game, right? When you're young, you sign some bullshit. You get got. A lot of people don't get the opportunity to become a day. Dave Chappelle and can make that corporation right that wrong. By the way, the people who signed Dave Chappelle back in the day, they're not at Viacom no more. They're long gone.

So they're long gone. But Viacom still has the rights to that IP. So shouldn't he be having the convo with Viacom then? I mean, I'm assuming Netflix is paying Viacom. So he should be getting the cut of what Viacom is getting. Well, he is. His energy was directed towards Biacom. He had nothing but love and praise for Netflix

because Netflix, when he went to Netflix and told Netflix the situation, they removed Chappelle's show. Got it. Okay. You know what I'm saying? So his gripe is with Biacom. But I think, I'm pretty sure Viacom is going to make that right. You know, but once again, everybody don't get to be Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle is a force of nature.

You know, he's a movement unto himself. He's a, he's a legend. And I think the way that he broke it down was very accurate. I signed the contract. But I signed the contract the way that a 28-year-old expecting father that was broke signs of contract. I was desperate. I needed a way out. And it wasn't good money and it wasn't good circumstances.

But what else am I going to do, I said? And all these white people sitting at that table told me, trust this, Dave, it's a good contract. And I looked around the table and they all seemed to agree. It was a good contract. But what if? What if they were all friends? And I didn't know it. And I'm not up here trying to tell you guys that I believe that Comedy Central gave me a raw deal.

Just because I'm black. I believe that they gave me a raw deal because this fucking industry is a monster. Stuff like that is supposed to happen to you when you green. And then when you evolve and you get older, you do what Chappelle is doing now. Some people choose to handle it behind the scene. some people choose to use their platform and voice their you know

discomfort with the situation I can't find the it's not on the Shepo show isn't on any platforms now I don't know if it's not on any platforms I know it's not on Netflix anymore I was watching like I never watched it I think it's still on HBO Max but you know he's 28 years old

you know um like I said you it when I tell people things like you know, it's all about how you negotiate. Yeah, when you get to a certain age, when you and your late 30s, early 40s, and you didn't have been around the block several times,

yeah, you shouldn't be getting gut. Like, if I get God at this point in my career, it's on me. Because I've been here. You know what I'm saying? Like, I've been here. Another thing DeChapelle said that was very sharp was when he talked about, you know,

lawyers and age. agents and managers and making sure they're not all in cahoots. You know what I'm saying? Because when they're all in cahoots, they just trying to get the best deal for themselves. I've been in situations like that with agents. I've been in situations where, you know, I thought an agent was looking out for my best interest, but the reality is the agent was representing me and representing a whole bunch of other talent.

And sometimes they negotiate against each other. Like, they'll be like, well, look, I'll get, I'll get Charlemagne to sign for this when I probably should have got way more, but I'll get Charlamagne to sign for this, you know, but you got to give this person over here a little bit more. Or vice and versa, I'll get this person to sign for this amount, make sure Charlemagne gets this.

I don't like that. You know, that's what, but that's just the game. And you got to know that. And Dave knows that now. And Dave also knows who he is. So therefore, Dave is like, run me. my motherfucking money. Let's go back to the table and make this a fair situation

for all parties involved. You know? But I was also wondering, too. I was wondering if, if, I was wondering if at some point, because it's hard for me to believe that Dave did two seasons of Chappelle's show,

about to do a third season. Clearly it had to be some type of renegotiating going on because they offered him that $50 million deal that he ultimately walked away from. So I wonder if, you know, what he wants now, he could have got back then if he hadn't a walk the way. Because clearly there was some renegotiations that happened.

Clearly, it had to be. Two seasons of Appel show, or then they coming off of him this big $50 million check. Like, it had to be some other type of renegotiations that were happening in that scenario. So I was just wondering if he breached in some. way, shape, or form because he walked away from the contract. But, you know, other than that, I think Chappelle is doing what we all should do.

You live and you learn. It's not like Chappelle signed this deal at 40-something years old. It was 28. Brand new, green, had a new child. He said that himself. And, you know, like he said, you know, what they did was perfectly legal, but is it right? That is the question. That is absolutely the question.

I'll be honest with you, I don't know if it's right or not. I just think it's business. And I think in business there's no permanent enemies. There's no permanent friends. That's it. So when you see situations like Dave Chappelle, all you youngens, you know, when you don't, I can't even sit here and say when you don't have that leverage because I don't think none of y'all are in a position to not have that leverage anymore.

And what I mean by that is most of these people that are getting deals from these corporations now, they're getting deals based off work that they're already doing on their own. They're getting, you know, partnerships now because of the fact that they have all these social media followers or because they have all of these analytics that corporations can look to and say, oh, he's got this many views on YouTube, or she's got this many views on YouTube, or she sold this many records independently, or, you know, she started her own YouTube channel, and she's already got a built-in audience. Like, they got to approach you a little different when you've already built your own. So I can't even sit here and say these kids

don't have, you know, no leverage because they have all the leverage in the world. me. I'm an executive. You know what I mean? I'm in these rooms. You know what I'm saying? I'm in these rooms having these conversations about, you know, this next wave of radio personality, podcasted, TV, whatever it is. I'm hearing the conversation. I'm telling you kids. Once again, I tell you all this all the time. You can either listen to the people who've never done it, try to tell you how to do it, or listen to the people that are doing it,

tell you how it's done. I'm telling you, you people have all the leverage in the world if you're building things on your own. They're watching all of this shit. They know exactly how much analytics you got. They know exactly what your numbers are. You just got to make sure you know all of that. So when you pull up to the table, you can take it or leave it. You know, and it's very hard. And it's been hard for some years. It's very hard to negotiate with this, this, this era, this generation, unless you're offering them some real life-changing shit. Because they're already good. They're making money.

They're making millions of dollars doing what they're doing. So you got to approach these kids with partnerships. You got to approach these people with partnerships. They don't fucking need you. I saw something other day with 85 South Show got like 300 million views on YouTube, just off their podcast, some extraordinary. number that that major TV shows don't have

that major networks who have YouTube pages, they don't even got those kind of views. So what the fuck can you do with 85 South Show except approach them as a partner? That's it. There's nothing else you can do with people like that. And they're not the only ones

is all I'm saying. So trust me, man. You brothers and sisters, you got all the fucking leverage. it. Guys like Dave Chappelle, they went through that, so you don't have to go through that. That's it. Now, let's pay the bills.

Before that, just making it clear we got everything. The Snoop Dog, what was your thoughts on him doing the commentary? I thought that Snoop Dog offered a real-nigger perspective, and I think real-nicka perspective always cuts through to the

bullshit. When you're listening to the nottrus talk about, oh my God, look at that punch! Oh, got hit. Oh, he's down for the town. That's some old school dumb shit. And by the way, there was an announcer up there with him like that. I can't remember the guy's name, but he sounded like an old school announcer. When you're just sitting there watching Snoop talk, like how you and your homies are sitting around talking, that shit cuts through.

I run here, Snoop Dog, on every, if he was a commentary on any sports thing, I'm watching it because. You know why? Real nigger perspective. Real nigger perspective always cuts through. I tell y'all this shit all the time. Watch. And on anything, when I first started in radio,

the best thing that ever happened to me was I did not know how to do radio. I still don't know how to fucking do radio. I still don't know. You know what I'm saying? I just used to open the microphone and talk the way that we talk in the hood.

The way that we communicate in the hood. That's all I knew. I didn't have background experiences, as a journalist, as a broadcaster, whatever, whatever. That's why my dumb ass got fired four times. But guess what? I stuck to that. And the reason I stuck to that is because all I know how to do is be me.

I don't have, you know, experiences. I mean, I have experiences. I don't have like education in a certain thing. You know what I mean? Like, nobody taught me how to do this. Like, I don't have any other way other than the approach just microphone and be me. And that's what Snoop Dog does everywhere he goes. There is nobody better at being Snoop Dog than Snoop Dog.

Just like there's nobody better at being you than you. And that's why you motherfucking keep losing because you're, you keep trying to be a second-rate version of something else instead of being a first-rate version of your motherfucking self. And salute to Snoop for that performance during, like, the halftime, whatever it was. And Little Wayne was supposed to. I never enjoy someone, like, I don't really enjoy rappers solo, but I enjoy Snoot's performance.

Like, I could watch them all day. That's what you call classic catalog. Little Wayne, by the way, there's not one artist who performed at that, that that uh I didn't see the other ones well no you know I take that back I take it back French Montana performed YG performed

um French was with uh French was with Sway Lee I'm missing somebody French Swaley YG somebody else performed

and it's slipping in my mind right now I can't oh St. John and I think somebody else but they all fit and the reason they fit is because you had to undercards and you had the Nate Paul, I mean the Nate Robinson, Jake Paul fight. That all made sense, right?

Got the young artists out there, whatever, whatever. The reason Snoop was better than Wayne, because Wayne would have ended up being the headliner because I think Snoop performed last minute because Wayne didn't. The reason Snoop was better is because Roy Jones is of the 90s. Mike Tyson is of the late 80s, 90s. And as Snoop said during his commentary, he came up and that Roy Jones, Mike Tyson era. His music and Def Roe was providing the soundtrack

for that whole wave. Like we've, you know, Tupac, the night Tupac got killed, he was at a Mike Tyson fight. But the night he got shot and then eventually died he was at a Mike Tyson fight. So Snoop's music was the perfect soundtrack leading into that Mike Tyson Roy Jones situation.

And that's just classic catalog. Like, you know, Snoop Dog got nuclear weapons, bro. Like that's just a once again, man, Snoop is a 101. Like, you can't duplicate Snoop Dog if you tried. And trust me, many people have tried and they have failed. He's a 101.

Just like Dave Chappelle is a 101. Some people are just one-on-ones. And all of us, not even just some people. Every single person on this planet is a one-on-one. You just got to be confident enough in yourself to lean into yourself. That's it. Simple as that. We get so caught up and seeing other motherfuckers and what they're doing.

And we see what's working for them. and we try to duplicate that. And that's how you lose. Once again, don't be a second-rate version to somebody else when you can be a first-rate version of your motherfucker-south.

Now can I pay these bills? Taylor, you still want me to talk about a bunch of shit I don't care about. It's fine. All right, let's pay some bills. Care-off is a wellness brand that makes it easy to maintain your health goals

he's going to deliver at any moment and I can't wait I cannot wait to see this child um that Andrew Schultz is birthing I'm serious Andrew Schultz is birthing I'm serious Andrew has been cooking up and I'm very proud of him. And, you know, I know y'all missing Andrew from the podcast. I miss Andrew from the podcast. I really enjoy doing brilliant idiots. I enjoy talking to Andrew, you know, because I'm able to come in here and, you know, really talk about things that happened during the week, things that happen, you know,

not just in society and culture, but things that happen in our own lives. I get to, you know, expound on things that happen on the breakfast club. and I really enjoy that. I really do. I really do appreciate it. I mean, I love Andrew's perspective on things. So, yes, I miss him when he's not here on Brewerin Nidius as well.

But I promise you, you're going to be proud of our guy when you find out why he's been missing. Well, missing prior to the other shit that happened. But I'll let him tell you about that. But other church announcements, I want you all to please go out there and pre-order Tamika Mallory's upcoming book,

State of Emergency. It'll be out May 11th, 2021, but you can pre-order now wherever you buy books. That's courtesy of Black Privilege Publisten and Shihman and Schuster. I hope y'all took advantage of the Black Friday sale. I hope y'all took advantage of the Cyber Monday sale from what I saw. Y'all did. So I thank you for that. I really do.

I genuinely appreciate that, man. You know, I love Tamika. You know, I really, I call her our leader. She's my leader, only because she's really on the front lines. And Tamika cares about us. She cares about black people in a real way. And when I support somebody and I stand beside somebody, I'm doing it because I really see who that person is. And, you know, Tamika Mallory is, history is going to be very kind to her, very kind to her.

Because history is never kind to people like that in real time. Because, you know, they villainize us. That's what they do. They villainize us. You know, they change the narrative about us and put out these false narratives about us. And, you know, people don't even get to know folks. You know, they just have an opinion

based off something they heard. And I see it. You know what I'm saying? I see what she's out here doing for us. I see how she's literally putting her life on the line. Her and Linda Sauta Saw Saw and my guy, My Son, salute to Carmen Perez, salute the whole intel freedom.

Like, like, to me, Tamika's always where the action is. Not because she wants attention. You know what I mean? Not because she's trying to get celebrity. Not because she's trying to get money, but because she actually truly cares about black people. It's very rare.

Tamika is not on 10 because of some shit that's happening in the black community. It's actually refreshing when I see Tamika take a break off just to laugh. It is. It's actually refreshing when. I take me and Tamika just having conversations about some other shit because she deserves that. You know what I mean? Like, you know, we really got to guard our mental health out here. We really got to guard our spiritual energy and our emotional well-being, man.

And, you know, it's got to be balanced, right? That's why I love when she says, she says on TI's album because she's on TI's album. She says she's Cardi B., Angela Davis, with some Jada Pinkett Smith. You know what I mean? You can find her on street politicians every Wednesday. Yes. I was definitely getting to that. You know,

but go out there in pre-order state of emergency, Tamika Mallory's upcoming book. It'll be out May 11th, 2021. And basically her book is a blueprint. You know what I'm saying? Because the only thing that's changed about this country is the administration. Black people, we are always in a constant state of emergency. You know what I mean?

So she's just giving you a blueprint on how to, navigate through this country full of vultures. That's all and how we can truly liberate ourselves. And as Taylor just said, Screet Politicians' Podcasts, that's also available on the Black Effect, I Heart Radio podcast network. It's available wherever you

buy, wherever you listen to podcasts. I don't know why I keep saying bye. It's available wherever you listen to podcasts. Tamika Mallory and Mison, they have Screet politicians. They talk about different stuff too, not just politics. Not just politics. They just like this week, they're talking about, you know,

it's social media a friend of folk. It's really good. You know what I mean? It's a really good conversation. I think you should check it out. I was listening to the episode with Karen Civil as well. I think that's about social media too, right? Same episode.

It's the same episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Karen, Sharon Sylv was on this episode. I'm going to tell you who's got a great episode this week too, man. Ebony K. Williams were holding court, her and Dustin. Man, I learned so fucking much last night listening to holding in court. They got Faison on there,

talking about erasure, He got took off the cover of this movie once it went worldwide. They got David Johns on there talking about the situation that happened with Laverne Cox. So it's just a good conversation, man. I learned so much when I listen to Holding Court. So. And I have produced with both of this.

Okay. See, Taylor? See? Black Effect Produce out here getting that money doing her thing, having a real sense of responsibility. Okay? But yeah, go to the IHard Radio app. type in Black Effect and, you know, all the different podcasts will come up.

Teslin Figaroos, great shot, no chaser. You know, Teslin is super dope. She's got a great episode. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, never mind. I spoke too soon, then. Okay. Never mind.

But is it me? Am I on this week? You on last week. Last week. I was on an episode last week. I got to go, I don't know what Teslin did this week, but go check it out. And listen, and all the smoke, all the smoke, they're ending December with a bang, salute to my guy, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.

They got Paul George on next week talking about the whole situation with the Los Angeles Clippers. And, you know, basically without saying it, Paul George is saying we ran Doc Rivers to fuck up out of here. Okay? We got Doc Rivers fired, but he's in Philly down. So, you know, God has a plan for everybody. But just go check out the Black Effect Podcast Network.

And I really got to thank y'all, man, because I was looking at the numbers. Black Effect Podcast Network, I think we launched in late September. I don't remember the exact date, but I know it was late September. Well, the first podcast we put out was cut to it by Steve Smith. And then October is when we really, you know,

started releasing more. I really thank y'all and really, really appreciate y'all for your support, man. And, you know, I just want to create more platforms for, you know, more black people to have voices and tell their stories.

Oh, I'm getting... Zori Hall, love this week, too. Oh, shit. Thank you, Dwayne. Zori Hall, hot, happy mess podcast. That launched this week as well. Zori is the homie.

That's one of my loved ones. You know, Zori, I don't know if people know this, but Zori, when I started Uncommon Sense on MTV 2, Zori was my original co-host. That's why I picked to be my original co-host. So like the original cast of Uncomicense was, you know, Zori Hall, Deas and Mero. Those were my goals.

go-toes, you know, every week. Like, that's what was on the show with me every week. And me and Zori actually shot the pilot of Uncommon Sense together. And then Zori was on the first episode, but then she got snatched up by E. You know? So her MTV2 deal was up because that's when I, when I, when I, um, I was already at MTV 2, but, you know, they grabbed Jesus and Mero and then they grabbed Zori. And they weren't using them, you know?

They knew that they were talented and they had them there. And like, Jesus and Mero was writing and, you know, Zuri would, you know, do hosting things on MTV and MTV too. But they weren't using them. And then I came with the Uncomonsense platform. And, you know, I had Jesus and Meryl doing a classic of trash every week. And Zuri Hall was my original co-host. So I've always saw Zuri. I've always had a love for Zori because she's really dope.

She's really talented. And it was great to see her go to E and be super successful. And I think she's hosting. What's that show she hosts on that? NBC now. I don't know. Is it, what is that show? I don't know why the fuck I keep thinking, Ninja Warrior.

Yes, American Ninja Warrior. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's on Access Hollywood on NBC. Like Zori doing her thing, but her podcast, Hot Happy Mess is available right now in the Black Effect I Heart Radio Podcast Network. So like I said, go to the I Heart Radio app, type in Black Effect, all the podcast that we got are up there. And you got a lot more to launch.

GZE Recession podcast is out right now. I can't even run them all down. Oh, Gangsta Chronicles. Yeah, it's a lot. Listen, we're doing well. And thank you. Thank you to the people who've already downloaded and subscribe to the various podcasts on the Black Effect IHeartRadio Podcast Network. We appreciate y'all. Now, let's get to some, let's do some asking idiots. one of my favorite parts of the show because I get to answer y'all questions.

Taylor was trying to set me up to actually have people zoom in and ask me questions live. Fuck, no. Right? Hell no. Not doing that shit. Okay?

Only when the live show happens. Live event. When that happens. Yes. Yes. Well, speaking of your church announcements, Ms. Burner Act wants to know why, what, I think she meant to say what, what makes a great black influencer? Authenticity.

Authenticity is what makes a great black influencer. And the reason authenticity makes a great black influencer is because that person has probably become an influencer because they're authentic. You know, people see something in them that they can relate to. They see something in them that they see in themselves. You know, that influencer speaks to them in a way that connects. So when you're an influencer, you know, that authenticity, that you being you, you know, you know what I'm saying, that you being the best version of yourself, that you being a one-on-one, they're hearing something from you that they don't hear other places and that's where that connection comes.

Right. So to me, that's what makes a great black influencer or any influence. not even just black, just authenticity. Like it's something about that person that you see that's just authentic. You know what I mean? And it don't even have to be for the people who, you know, give their opinions, their cultural critics like me. That can be the person you see on YouTube that's cooking.

You might buy into the way they cook and buy into their recipes just because they look like they're having a ball. They look like they really enjoy what they do. They authentically love what they do. And I think that's infectious. And I think that's what makes. a great black influencer. That's a great question, by the way.

Awesome. Did you know that you had a TikTok? Someone made a TikTok for you then. And he's like, I guess all your dances, I don't know. That's what I was saying. I wasn't.

I don't have TikTok. There's nobody that enjoys my dancing more than you. That's you. I really enjoy. What's the name of TikTok? I don't know. Why you just roll up?

You're lying. It's so good. I knew, I thought it was about to roll off your tongue so easily. There's probably something stupid like, it's probably some dumb shit, like thick, thick 78 or some dumb shit. I bet. I bet you that's what you put. I didn't do it. Look, so, C. Botch 246 wants to know, do you think it's better for your mental health to keep up with the news every day or live in your own bubble?

Wow. Great fucking question. Man, that's a great question. Is that little Wayne, he supposedly lives in his own bubble, you know what I mean? And he seems happy. Yeah, but, you know, I always ask myself living in a bubble. And Little Wayne is a great example because he always seems oblivious to everything that's going on around him. That's not knowing, not knowing is like can be considered.

ignorant, right? But not because you don't know, but just, you know, I mean, no, because you don't know, you can say, okay, you're ignorant to the matter. We always look at ignorant as a super negative word, but it's not. It's just a word. It's just a word that means like you don't know. It matters to like, what's the, what's the,

look up the definition, ignorant definition. Lacking, lacking knowledge or awareness in general, uneducated or unsophisticated. Okay, ignorant might be too strong. A couple of ways. All I'm saying, I'm basically trying to say all that to say, if ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? So I can't sit here and act like isolation being in a bubble is good for you. Because even in the 48 laws of power, it talks about how isolation is dangerous because, you know, you can cut yourself off so much that you're not even aware of things that may be against you. you know what I'm saying?

Like you got to have your ear in the mix just enough to know what the fuck is going on because you got to know what's against you so you can thwart some of these attacks, right? So what's better for your mental health? Watching the news are living in a bubble. I think, I think, I think being aware. Be aware and don't react. Yes. be aware of everything

but acknowledge nothing. You know what I'm saying? I think that's what Taylor said is very true. You know, like what drives us crazy is the reaction. Like if you could just scroll through social media

and never reply to anything you see on social media, it'd be fine. The mental health aspect is the part where these things trigger you. things that are said about you are things that you see. Like, you know, just scrolling through

and you see somebody getting shot by the police or you see somebody, I saw the days, Tamika actually sent me that she sent me a video of some cops in the Bronx planting something on a kid while they were searching them. And the kid is sitting there talking shit like, I ain't got nothing yada yada yada, yada this and that. The cop was like, yes the fuck you do.

Because we already put it on you. You know what I mean? So it's like stuff like that because that's the type of things that get into your brain, they get into your mind, and you constantly think that those things can happen to you. You know, but I think being aware and being able to acknowledge a lot of these things

and unpack some of these things is good. You know, I don't think that your mental health, like I tell people all the time, when I go to therapy, I'm going to therapy because I'm trying to organize all the shit that's in my mind. That's why I always use the closet analogy. I always talk about how junkie the fucking closet is. You walk in the closet and you're folding stuff up that you want to keep

and organizing things you want to keep nice and neat and, you know, putting them away. And the things you don't want, you're putting in a box and you're shipping off. And now you got room to bring new things in. Like, that can only happen with awareness, awareness and acknowledgement, you know. So I don't think, you know, hiding from your problems makes them go away. I don't think putting yourself in a bubble is going to make it. of these things go away. I just think it's going to make it harder to deal with when you finally do pop up and get a dose of what's going on in the world. So for your mental health, I think it's better

to be aware and acknowledge, you know, what's going on. And what's the point of therapy? If you don't know nothing, you know what I'm saying? You're going to therapy to unpack all your trauma and things that are happy with you. You're going to therapy to unpack all of these things that you're seeing and, you know, experiencing. Like, you have to have experiences. in order to get on the right track with your mental health. So I think watching the news, I don't think it's anything wrong with being aware

of what I was going to say too. It's the difference between watching the news maybe, than social media. Because you mentioned social media, so maybe we just need delete social media and then. I mean, I think it's all the same because the news is showing you a lot of these things that are already on social media.

Actually, a lot of the news is reacting to social media now. You know what I'm saying? they're reacting to things that happen on Twitter. They're reacting to things that happened on Instagram. I mean, shit, the president just spent four years on motherfucking Twitter. You know what I mean? Like, so, you know, social media is the news nowadays. So when you even say news, I'm thinking about social media

and I'm thinking about watching TV. But I think the key is, you know, like I said, awareness, being aware, acknowledging, but also you got to know when to pull back. You got to know when to turn shit off. You know, you got to know when enough is enough. Like you don't have to torture yourself. You don't have to traumatize yourself.

You don't have to punish yourself. That you don't have to do. You know, that's really what being mentally healthy is. Being mentally healthy is knowing when to unplug. And, yeah, that's just the thing. I don't think none of us know how to unplug. Okay. And what else?

Hayes Days podcast. I must know what advice you have for upcoming podcasters. Aw, Ben, Tissie. Same thing I said for the black enforcement. Yeah, but they have to be like interesting. Because I think anyone now thinks that they could just hop on and just talk regularly. It has to be some type of. You're right.

But what's more interesting than somebody's authentic story? Like here's the thing. You can't listen to brilliant idiots and say, I'm going to do what Charlemagne and Andrew do. You can't listen to Drink Champs and say, I'm going to do what Norie and DJF. You can't listen to Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, all the spoke, and say, I'm going to do what they do. You know why all of these different podcasts is successful? Because they're all doing them. God put you on this motherfucking planet

and put you through a set of circumstances and experiences for you to have a story. I always tell these people that want to be podcast, this radio host, tell your story. Don't make me quote Dr. Suisse on you, fuck, niggas. Hold on, let me quote Dr. Suisse on you. You just have... Hold on man.

Let me quote Dr. We have children's book. Today, you or you, that is true and true, there is no one alive who is your than you. Dr. Mother fucking Seuss. That is my advice to you. What's his name? Hayes Day's podcast.

Today you are you. That is true and true. There is no one alive who is your than you. I promise you, if you pull up as your true authentic self and you're interested and you got a story to motherfucking tell,

people will gravitate towards you. I don't know why. We'll repeat it again. Stop trying to be a second-rate version of somebody else. You can be a first-rate version of your motherfucker fucking self. Authenticity, man.

I'm telling you. I guarantee you any podcast you think of, any personality you love, they are so unique. They have something that nobody else has. And that's why it's so much for everybody because there's always somebody that you can relate to.

It's 340 million motherfuckers in this country who knows how many across the whole world. Everybody can have an audience. Everybody. Okay. What else? What by Shaw Mark

underscore A, what do you think is the biggest secret being held from mankind? Probably, probably ex-atranchev. I knew you're going to say that. So someone also asked, too, if there's going to be a podcast about aliens and all that on Black Effect. It would be dope. It would be hell of dope to have a podcast about aliens on Black Effect.

I would want to talk to somebody who's like done some real extensive research. Like, I mean, actually, like one of those UFO hunters, like who goes out there and like studies things like Roswell and, you know, Area 51 and all of that shit like that. Who's actually had experiences and encounters. You know, I saw Barack Obama on Stephen Cobain. Stephen Colbert asked him about UFOs. And Barack was like, I can't tell you. What? That right.

That told me everything I needed to know. Well, by the way, I've been on the hill, man. And that video that came out with a pilot jet was watching that shit shoot by. And the pilots were like, yo, what the fuck is that? Yada, yada, yada. When I was on the hill and my guy, I'm not going to say who my guy is, when I was asking about UFOs, he was like, come talk to this person.

The only reason the guy told me anything is because the guy was leaving. He was retiring. Yeah, he was retiring. And so, he was like, I'm only telling you this because I'm retiring. He was like, if I wasn't retiring, then, you know, you might have to kill you.

And I started laughing. He was like, no, I'm serious. And to this day, I don't know if he was serious or not. But he said, there's a video on YouTube that you can go look up. It was classified information, but it's going to come out in a minute and we're going to verify it that just that what you saw in that video was an unidentified flying object.

And I really think they're priming us. I think they're priming us to have this conversation about, you know, no, not conversation. They're priming us for the arrival to let us know, yes, there's other life forms out here that exist. And you'd be a fool to think they don't. In America, the world needs this humbling, especially America. What would you do if you've seen, like, face-to-face? I have already. face-to-face?

I was laying in my bed. I don't remember how old I was, but I was laying in my bed. And if you've ever seen the movie signs, this is why I'd be thinking that a lot of these movies and shit, they have to be late at something. These movies are always based into the truth because that alien that was in signs

was standing over me. Just like how he was standing over with motherfuckers in that movie. Remember when he was standing over Bell Gibson's daughter and he was like sucking the air out of her. I was laying down and I woke up and I had the feeling like the hag was riding me. And it looked just like the thing from signs except for it was purple and black. And as the sun started to rise, it started to fade away.

I always say that I'm an alien, but, you know. No, you're short, but you move tall, Taylor. And I've seen a flying saucer before. I saw a flying saucer when I was eight years old standing in my grandmother's yard playing. I always think when you and Schultz, we had that conversation before and you was like, look, it might just be

aliens coming like saying, like, well if we rented Earth and they... Herf is on the lease. I always think about that. Herf is on the lease. And they back like, y'all fucking this shit up. Y'all fucking this shit up, man. We've got to get these tenants to fuck up out of head.

Y'all fucking up this beautiful-ass place. All of this water used to be blue. When we left this fucking earth to you fucking humans, this whole shit was blue. Okay? We left you with everything that you needed, right? This land, we left you with all the medicine. You could just be living naturally holistic. We left you with everything y'all fucking needed and y'all ruined it, tearing all these

goddamn beautiful trees down to fucking build Starbucks? What the fuck is a Starbucks? Get these dirty ass humans out of my motherfucking property now. Now, that's what I truly believe. I really believe Earth is on the least and humans have fucked it up and now the aliens are coming back. And they're going to tell us we can do this the easy way or the hallway. Okay. Straight up.

All right. You want one more? Yeah, give me one more. And we get up out of here. I guess. Damn, that was it. Okay. Well, the population of 9-12 underscore idiot.

will the population of the United States ever come together as one without the influence of an outside threat? No. And even when the aliens come, it's not going to bring people together. Social media in the last four years have showed me motherfuckers don't really

want unity and group operation. That whole, you know, there's only one race to human race that is complete bullshit. Human beings are tribal creatures. I think that's too, though. Because why we all look the same in a way? Like a little more similar, not different colors and all that shit.

I just feel like you're saying that there's not going to be any unity. I don't think there was ever supposed to be really. I think we're supposed to, the reason why there's different races and everything else, we're supposed to try to understand the other side. But I think there's always going to be that. It's impossible. And by the way, you can have all of that variety, right? but human beings are just wired to be tribal.

We have our set of beliefs and we believe what we believe. And if the other side don't believe it, it's fucking. And there's no nuance anymore. There's no great areas whatsoever. Nobody is even trying to see where the other side is coming from. You use certain buzzwords. You know, you stand with certain people. You say certain things.

You get fucking labeled and they put you over here. And then this little group goes over. here. Black people aren't monolithic. White people aren't monolithic. Italians are monolithic. Jewish people aren't monolithic. None of these people are monolithic. It just seems like that to us because we're on the outside looking in. And a lot of these communities and these groups have a lot more organization than we actually do. But there's nobody on this planet that's monolithic. Everybody is fucking tribal. So no, I don't think people will ever come together as one on this fucking planet, even when the UFO's

coming. You know, that reminded me it reminds me of it. Do you know what fairly our parents are? It was an old Nickelodeonian show. And I remember they had an episode and Timmy wished for everyone to look the same and they still found something different. Everyone was exactly the same. But they still found something to be different. And that show taught me that what you just said, that

it was only going to be an issue with something. Oh, that's what? This is a fairly odd planet. All right. And you know who makes this this planet odd? Humans. Humans are the mutants.

The virus. Where the COVID-19 of Earth? We've been fucking this shit up from day one. And there's this thing. Man, I wish I knew how to pronounce it. This is one of them times where I knew how I wish I knew how to pronounce it. I'm a spell of you all. I want y'all

to look it up. I was just watching a video about this. And then my girl Debbie Brown, salute to Debbie Brown. You can check out the Dropin' Jim's podcast on the Black Effect I Heart Radio podcast network as well. Gaia. I think that's how you pronounce it. G-A-I-A. And you ask what is Gaia. Gaia is looking at the earth as a god or energetic being, which it is. It's the divine container for this human experiment. But you may to rise, we have to be of service to and protect Earth.

We have failed at that. Yeah. We failed at that. We have failed at serving and protecting the Earth. We take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take from this planet. Take, take, take, take, take all its resources. Fucking just take, take, take, take, take, take, take. And we don't put anything back. We build fucking Starbucks. But you know, you know, not to keep going on, but like my boyfriend, he's very into history.

He always goes back to like, they didn't have to use that back in the day. Like, so why do we have to, he doesn't trust like this. Greed, capitalism, the love of fucking money. That's all this shit is. We don't give back to the earth. The earth gives us everything we fucking need. Convenience. Literally.

Convenience. That's all. That's what motherfuckers want instead of just being patient. We've had these conversations on the podcast before I talk about when you go to certain countries whenever I go to Anguilla, if they don't got it, they don't got it. When the last time you've heard in America

something not being in season? They used to be a time, you're like, no, that's not in season. Now everything is in season all the fucking time. We don't give a fuck about Earth. And guess what? Earth don't give a fuck about us. But I guarantee you one thing,

if Earth and humans go to war, guess who's going with? Earth. The Earth always corrects itself. Remember those things called dinosaurs? Yeah, it's going to be another species down the line. Remember them shit called humans? You think humans really exist? It's going to be a museum.

You're going to walk into a museum and going to see a four-foot-tall skeleton with wide hips. It's going to say, Taylor from Phyllis. It's going to say Taylor from Philly. That's what the fuck is going to be They're like, yo, you really think this was real? My fuckers going to be in there arguing about Nah, this shit ain't real. Ain't no.

Humans used to walk. Motherfuckers had two legs, two arms watches. I guarantee you. It's going to be animals like anything. I don't know what it's going to be. I really don't. We don't know what the next iteration of Earth's, you know, divine creation is going to be.

We have no idea. But it's going to be something that I can promise you. All right. Time to go. Andrew said he'll be back next week. I hope he is. Thank you, Taylor. Thank you, Chris.

Thank you, Dwayne. 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. 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 idiotist podcast. Thank you for listening.
