Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, I'm Shal of Maine the guy. Andrew Schult. We are the brilliant idiots podcast. Hapakai Walker. Hello, sir. Mm. Mm. How are you, brother?
Starting point is 00:00:09 Bro, I'm good, man. Shout out to the goat. Kendrick Lamar? No, no, Dochi, man. Dochi did her thing, though. Big Bochee. Yo, shout out Dochi, man. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:00:19 I had Doche. We had Docheon on Breakfast Club back in 2022. Wait, really? Yes. Don't you, like, anybody with eyes could see that Dochi was going to be up out of here. People were sleeping. on, I was just having this conversation. Everybody got them set with me because I said TDE
Starting point is 00:00:34 is the greatest West Coast record label of all time. Oh, is she with TD? Yeah. Wow. And everybody said, oh, no, it's Defro, is Defro. The reality is DeFRO had a four-year run from 1992 to 1996.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Yeah, but culturally impactful to this day. 100%. 100%. But if you want to combine longevity with cultural impact in classic artists albums that have real artistic value you gotta go TD
Starting point is 00:01:04 come on if you had to bet on a 20 year run versus a four year run which one you pick I mean yeah you're making this is why you're so good you're making really compelling arguments and everybody said Tupac was a we got to think about this right Tupac was a free agent sign Tupac didn't come up in the death row
Starting point is 00:01:22 camp TDE homegrown builds all their artists from the ground up Right? And everybody who kept the interview Well, they gave us Snoop and they gave us Tupac. They didn't really give you Tupac.
Starting point is 00:01:36 They gave you Snoop. These combos are tough because... And they weren't diverse. No, no, no, no, I get what you're saying. And you make great arts. They're just tough because it feels like you're doing a disservice to one to congratulate the other.
Starting point is 00:01:52 No, no, no. But that's what we do. But that's why they're fantastic arguments. That's what we do. This is a really good... But no. Obviously, I'm teasing, but shout out to Dochi, man. She actually is a great tiny desk.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Have you seen her? Of course. It's like phenomenal. But also shout out to Kendrick, obviously, cleaning the fuck up. And the Grammys. I'm actually, first of all, congratulations to Kendrick. Five for five. I thought he was going to go four for five.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Because I don't know what the difference between record of the year and song of the year. I just looked at the category and I'm like, Dan, Taylor Swift is in both of these. He's not going to win both. That was more impressive, yo. It's a beat Taylor. To beat Taylor, all of those white people and Beyonce in a category twice, that might have been more impressive than what he did to drink. No.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Maybe. With a disc record? And when they pan into the crowd and the whole crowd is singing A minor, that Taylor Swift hitting the stinky layer, got Taylor Swift with the broom. Taylor Swift got the broom out. Taylor Swift did like this sweep. When Mustard was like, get the brooms out sweep. Somebody get the broom out.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Get the broom out. Taylor started sweeping. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. Do you like the fact, do you think Taylor likes the fact that she lost? Do you think she likes the fact that she got to give Beyonce album of the year?
Starting point is 00:03:11 I feel like people had been like creating this like beef that didn't exist between the two of them. And I feel like Taylor's been very congratulatory of Beyonce. They always support each other. Taylor shows up for her movie from him. The others show up for her movie. But it's what we do as human beings, right? We got to like pit people against each other at the top.
Starting point is 00:03:28 We need there to be one person wearing a car. crown. So it almost feels like she was, from the little things I saw that she was like happy to see Beyonce win. Taylor only presented that award because Beyonce was going to. And the Grammy goes to Cowboy Carter. You think Taylor's team when they say, yeah, we want Taylor to present an award and they, you don't think they tell her? She goes up there and it's not Beyonce. Exactly. And then every blog is like, she only took it because she wanted to give it to someone else, not Beyonce. Do you really think Taylor's just going to give an award to any?
Starting point is 00:04:01 You think they're going to, Taylor Swift's team is going to let her just give an award to anybody? Wait, are you telling me that they tell the artist who's going to win before? I think they tell Taylor. I think they say, Taylor, we want you to present this award because this is going to be very special. Or, or, or do you think Taylor's team asks if it's going to be Beyonce and if it is, Taylor will present the award? Maybe. Because Taylor, I mean, Taylor started off in country. So for her to present the country music award makes sense, right?
Starting point is 00:04:29 But I think that it put extra icing on it for her for them to say, look, Beyonce going to win this thing. You're going to want to present it to it. Okay, so one thing important, like, obviously the Grammy's got it right. And there has been some criticism of the Grammys in the past for not getting it right. Okay. Does anybody feel like they, is there any conversation about them getting this wrong at all this year? I think it's pretty obvious with Kendrick. I don't think there's any, but I don't think you could go any other direction, but Kendrick.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Especially with not like us, right? Bro, not like us. Glasses Malone said this. Not like us might be the biggest rap record of all time. Let me think about it. It's pacing there, bro. Let me think about it. It's pacing there to be the biggest record,
Starting point is 00:05:09 biggest rap record of all time. It's already the greatest disc record of all time. It really might be the greatest hip-hop song all time. You know what's so tough to have these conversations is like the nostalgia. It's so hard to take nostalgia out of it. Like what Ether meant to us as, kids growing up in New York. But not even close. No, no, no, no. What I'm saying is to us as kids in New York, the way that that, the way that rap be felt, it felt like the biggest thing in the world.
Starting point is 00:05:37 It was. I agree with you. Hip-hop is at a much bigger level right now. Way more people are listening to hip-pop. It is pop music, right? It is ubiquitous with music. Like, it's not this offset genre. It's global. Right. Right. But so, so while you're saying, what you're saying is objectively, probably right. At the same time, there's this part of me that goes, oh, was it bigger than Ether? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:02 But, Al, do you know what I'm saying? Bigger than in the club? Yes. You consider Hey, y'all a rap song? Yes. It's not bigger than Hey, yaw. It's getting there, bro. That was a diss record?
Starting point is 00:06:15 No, no, no. No. I didn't diss somebody with, hey y'all. The guy's name was Yaw. Damn. With a disc record of him. Heyyya. And all the versions were dishing them.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Oh, wow. It's antagonizing the fuck out of them for no reason. I got it. You didn't know that? No, I didn't know that. That's a bigger song. What's a bigger song? Heyya.
Starting point is 00:06:37 You consider hot and hear a rap song. Right, not like a... I'm telling you, man, I'm not being a... Different things, I understand, but just... Not like... It's beyond... And I love Hay Ya. Not like us...
Starting point is 00:06:48 I've seen some real wild shit with Hay Ya. I've seen... I've been doing yoga before. Nobody really does. if I tell this story. I don't need to tell it. I don't need to tell it. Hey, of all the things...
Starting point is 00:06:59 I've been doing yoga. Of all the things you said on this fucking podcast, doing yoga is not the hardest to believe. Yeah. Instead, you turn it to a were were... And the second, you say you do normal shit, all the sudden, like... It's the whole thing with it,
Starting point is 00:07:11 but I was doing yoga one time in Kabul, and the white woman that was doing the yoga at the end. She was like, okay, now I want you all to move around. And she put on hair. Wow. And this was an old... I don't know how old she was. She was older white woman, though. But that doesn't surprise me. Hey, y'all was that popular. But again, rap music or hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I think it's too early. That's what I'm saying. What if I told you Andre was there, and the white woman didn't even know it was Andre? I believe it. Okay. She didn't even know it was Andre. We were all doing Ilgun. I'm not saying this happened. I'm just saying. But there's a lot of time, Andre's walking around New York, and people don't even recognize that's what I mean. So, hey, y'all is huge. This was just two years ago. for 2021. Hey-ya's huge.
Starting point is 00:07:59 But not like, I'm going to tell you why not like us is different than Hayah, because it's a mantra. Hey-ya's a mantra. Hey-ya's a song. Not like us is something people say to like differentiate themselves from other motherfuckers. This shit is playing on the Super Bowl commercials,
Starting point is 00:08:15 not because Kendrick is performing, but just because it's the soundtrack for the Super Bowl commercials. This was the Dodgers anthem when they won the World Series. This is going to be the California state model one day. Mark my words. You're going to be driving in California.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Like, then the lights are going to say, not like us. It's going to be the state model for California soon. This might... But there's right now. I mean, it's not officially, but it will be officially.
Starting point is 00:08:41 This shit just won five Grammys, bro. That's unprecedented. You're very good at making arguments. I'm really telling you. No, no, I'm trying to think of other things. I can't... You have to remove your emotion. Like, there are ways that...
Starting point is 00:08:54 Lose yourself. What's that? Lose yourself? Lusers. Yeah, lose yourself is pretty big, man. It's hard to... Lose yourself is big, man. Lose yourself is a big, man.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Lose yourself as an anthem. Not hot in here. Back that ass up. There's a few songs. Put it in your mouth. Classic. Back that ass up is a Negro spiritual. Love that record.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Hot in here. I don't put that on the level up. It's a pop record. Yeah, I don't put that on lose yourself and not like a... I don't know like a... lose yourself, bro. But you're forgetting... I think you're early on that. I think if we're still
Starting point is 00:09:34 doing not like us five years from now, we're still listening to it 10 years from now, then we can put it and lose yourself. Charlaman already made the point that these are just songs though. Well, what does that mean? What does that mean? This was a disc record. This is one of the biggest beefs of rap, so like it makes it more...
Starting point is 00:09:50 Okay, now to add a point, go, go, go, go, go. Not like us, we don't know if it's going to have... I think the hook is going to have legs. I think the hook and what the record means to like the coast of California is going to have laid. But it's a disrecord, so it might not have laid.
Starting point is 00:10:07 So here's the crazy thing. All right, in order for it to blow to this level now, the beef was incredibly helpful. Obviously, you're going at the biggest rapper alive, which was Drake. Now you could say is Kendrick. But the spirit, the emotion of the song, not like us, would it have more longevity
Starting point is 00:10:27 if Drake wasn't ever mentioned it. It wasn't about Drake, and it was just about how unique the culture is of California, if it was a California spiritual. I don't think so. You need Drake in order for it to reach this height for now, but wouldn't have more longevity if it wasn't about Drake.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I don't think it would have as big of a song. So then you wouldn't have, yeah. This is tricky. I mean, nothing unifies people with like a good jumping. When you lynching motherfucker, you know how your people use. Oh, my God. You're all coming together? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:10:55 You know, nothing. Look at them. He's ready. You got three in the chamber right now. Nothing brings people together like a fight. Nothing. Like a fight, yeah. But a lynching, I think, is that's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I don't think white people are getting excited for a lynching, bro. Oh, what are you talking about? You think? Yeah, yeah. No way. We sat back and watched Drake get jumped. The kids would come outside for it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Drake walked out at his recent show in Australia with a sweater on that had bullet holes in it and smoke coming out the back. I hated that shit so much. What do you think? What do you think that meant? What do you think that? That he's got a bunch of people take a bunch of shots at him, but he's still alive. He's not dead.
Starting point is 00:11:43 It's like, bro. Why? How many shots were in it? A lot. A lot. Him and Jay Cole act like they didn't start this. Drake ain't started it. They both started this.
Starting point is 00:11:56 How? No, we started it technically. Nope. Well, technically we started it. Hendrick and Drake have been throwing subliminals at each other for years. And we ended it. But we're not gonna act like... I'm just saying, we start the people...
Starting point is 00:12:09 We're not gonna act like on first person to shoot him. Jay Cole said something about the big three. What was the line? Something about the big three, but he said, I'm feeling like Muhammad Ali. Yeah. Love when they argued on hard as I'm see, is it Kate died? Is it Aubrey or me? We the big three like we started a leave.
Starting point is 00:12:25 But right now I feel like Muhammad Ali. Okay, so you're the greatest. And Drake goes, who to go, who to go, who to go? Who to go? Who to go? Who to go? Who to go? Who to go?
Starting point is 00:12:36 So Kendra goes, oh, motherfucker fuck the big three. It's just big me, because it's about supposed to be competition. Motherf-f-the-Bick three. It's just big-ness. Right? And so then when you four-year comes out, Kendrick said, it's a friendly fay.
Starting point is 00:12:49 We can keep it that way. So, but we're not going to act like those two didn't start it on first-person shooter. That's not starting it by saying you're the goat. No, it's a competition. Yeah, but that's not starting to beef. If you say something about a big three, you say I'm Muhammad Ali, you're saying you're the heavyweight champion of the world.
Starting point is 00:13:03 You're saying you to go. Kendrick's like, nah, I am. All he's saying is, I'm better than you. That's not a challenge. That's not a beach. Hold on. You telling me, in hip hop, you're not allowed to say you're the best. You should.
Starting point is 00:13:16 And Kendrick is allowed to respond. And all of them are allowed to compete, is what I'm saying. Yeah, but there's competition, then there's beef. I think every rapper is allowed to, yo, I'm the nicest. But it's when you take it to fuck you. Kendrick really wanted to engage. They flirted with engaging on first-person shooting. If you say something about the big thing,
Starting point is 00:13:37 you say, I'm feeling like Muhammad Ali. What is that saying? So you're the heavyweight champion of the world. You're the greatest of all time. So I want to challenge you for that throne. Then when you Drake and you say, I'm the goat, I'm the goat, I'm the goat, I'm Kendrick. Okay, I want to challenge that then. We'll stop.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Who fired the first personal shot? First personal? That's who started. No. First personal shot is who started. Saying you're the best. Say again? It was drinking J. Cole, but I feel like it was more Drake than Jake.
Starting point is 00:14:04 But was there a personal shot? Did Drake say something personal about Kendrick? Technically is Cole. Yeah, he said... Oh, damn. Coal started. No, Drake. Don't put both of them.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Drake was on that record saying, who to go? No, no. I'm talking about the first disc track was Cole. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah. No, did that come out before push-ups? No, it's... Yeah, Cole came out.
Starting point is 00:14:26 It's like, fuck the big three is just big meat. So Cole caused all this promotion and then went home on his bike. Exactly. That's fucked up, yo. Cole caused all this commotion. Cold needle apologized, yo. And think about it, Drake said who was the goat on that record? First person shooter.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah. Kendrick Anson. That's all this was. I think it was more Drake than Cole though. Cole and Kendrick are cool. I just don't like how everybody uses like. Everybody always says like that started it. No, first person shooter got the ball rolling on where we currently are.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And now we're going to watch Kendrick at the Super Bowl on Sunday. He got to do it. He's going to do it. He's got to do it. Especially after doing it the Grammys and the whole crowd sung it. Yeah. Now you know you could do that. The Grammys gave him the permission slip.
Starting point is 00:15:11 It's like, we're doing this in front of the world. The world seemed pretty good about it. I think he introduces the not like Gus remix Sunday. You think it's going to be a remake? Charlie, you still think he's not going to say. He just said it at the Grammys. I think he's going, what Shult just said just said just now. Wait, what do you say to the Grammys?
Starting point is 00:15:26 No, didn't he perform some. I think he's going to do it, not like Us remixed. No, they didn't, wait, they didn't perform it. It was playing when he walked up to the name. Oh, oh, and then, okay, okay. But they used the very specific part of the song. I think he's going to do it, not like Us remix, that's an old De California. And I think that's what it's going to be like TDE artists,
Starting point is 00:15:46 like the black hippies and probably a couple other West Coast artists. Oh, that's going to be a mistake. Why? Because if he does that, then he does what Andrew is talking about. He gives the record longevity, like superlaves. Yeah. Now it's changed, you change the meaning of it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:16:01 It's more about you and not about this dude. And that is the one tricky thing with a beef song. It's like, the beef song is really a feature. It's about that other guy. That's right. Whereas a song about you, your culture, your people, whatever message you want to get through is always going to only be about you forever.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Now, not like us is about the West Coast, but in meaning more and feeling more than it is. Yeah, but the power that... The content. The power that song is like, If you're not from the West Coast, you still can relate to the theme of they not like us. That's right. We're different.
Starting point is 00:16:30 We're special and they're not like us. That's right. Yeah. But the only thing I'm saying, it would be a mistake to do that at the Super Bowl because it's like, we want what we know. You don't want to hear you do a new song. I don't want to drop a new song into Super Bowl. That's like when they do it like a music. Medley, a mashup.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah. Nobody would give a fuck out. No, they would. You want to sing a long. I don't like going to see a musician perform his new shit. Yeah. Like, I practice the words. Why do we lie to each other and I want to go and sing the words with you.
Starting point is 00:16:56 You know what we love? What? Aeos, bro. We are in a society that is literally about, it is literally about engagement through enragedment. So as long as people are in some type of enraignment, even if you're all mad, they, oh, man, fuck that. He didn't do not like us. Why would he remix it? It's still a win.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It's the Super Bowl. 100 million people fucking watching everybody's just gonna be chatting they'll chat more about that than they would if you just did it regular nah I don't know if it's more I don't know if it's more
Starting point is 00:17:33 everybody's waiting for him to say the A minor law yeah that shit got to be pedophile everybody's waiting for that you don't even got to say pedophile you could say a minor because it's double autonre yeah you could get away with it yeah so he could say that line and if he doesn't say it
Starting point is 00:17:49 yeah now you got to say it You got to say it. What? You know, he was wearing a Canadian tuxedo. Did you hear that? Y'all read into everything, bro. I mean, it is, though. It is.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Whether he did it on purpose or not, that is a Canadian tuxedo. But, like, why is that a shot at Drake to wear the Canadian outfit? And why take a shot at Canada? Like, you still want to perform in Canada. Canada going to love him regardless. The same way, where he wore the Nikes when he performed at a pop-up show. What happened now? He had Nikes on.
Starting point is 00:18:21 at the pop-up show. What's the wrong I did? Because is it Drake with Nike or something like that? I mean, the Nike Cortez is an iconic That's what people are saying that. But that's the thing is like people say ever like, and I give him credit for this,
Starting point is 00:18:34 he's like, he doesn't say a lot so he allows the audience to infer. It's amazing. Yeah, it is. And when you do that and there's clicks and excitement in explaining the bars, you start to really search for the explanations of everything he
Starting point is 00:18:51 does. I like that. Yeah. Once again, you just keep everybody talking. That's the world we live in. This world is about chaos, chatting. I like enragement. I like that term. Engagement through enragment. Yeah. That's all it is. Everybody tries to get you enraged about
Starting point is 00:19:07 something, tries to get you mad about something. Just the motherfucking keep you engaged. There's another Gemini that does that. You know what his name is? Donald J. Trump. Okay? He's cooking. He cooking something. I don't know what the fucking cooking. I don't know. I don't know how. this shit going to taste it then.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I don't know what he's doing, but I know he's cooking. You guys came in here hot. You guys came in here hot. I just think that, um... Yeah, what's he doing? Fill me in, because I haven't been paying attention. It's too much. Like, what is he not doing?
Starting point is 00:19:37 Like, I haven't been paying attention. I'm worried about Taylor. Taylor's going to be a mom. Here's the thing that's so interesting. This is the thing I think everybody's talking about. You don't ever want to give you a little shine, man. And I'm talking about this on the Daily Show this week. What happened?
Starting point is 00:19:49 You don't want to give Mama Taylor a little shine. Why you keep calling her mama? Because she's Mama Taylor. You think so? Oh, my, my. I saw the line. I saw the pregnancy line, though. What's the pregnancy line?
Starting point is 00:19:59 You know, you get the little line or something. It doesn't start right there. Your shit was here. It started to get it. And so she was like, I had that since I was a kid. I was like, oh, the baby been had a baby, baby, baby, baby. What? It's something's wrong with him.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Taylor pregnant, allegedly. Oh, we were almost. We were right there. He just doesn't want to give it to me. I got to drop the pigeons. The only thing I object, but I just think Elon Musk has too much power, bro. Elon Musk literally controls how the government pays people right now. He's not an elected official.
Starting point is 00:20:36 ABC News has learned Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, has now moved beds into the executive office building next to the White House, allowing Musk and his staff to sleep there when working late. His staff reportedly includes people as young as 19 years old. President Trump insists they're qualified. They're very smart people. Trump also praising Musk for dismantling USAID, an agency that funds international relief efforts. It's a disaster.
Starting point is 00:21:05 USAID staff getting this email that all direct hires will be put on administrative leave with pay, except for certain staffers serving mission critical functions. Democrats held a rally outside the Treasury Department to protest Musk's influence. I've got to tell Elon Musk nobody elected your information. We don't pledge allegiance to Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America. Musk has also faced scrutiny after getting a hold of the Treasury Department's payment system, which disperses 90% of all federal payments, including Social Security.
Starting point is 00:21:54 and Medicare. The Treasury Department insisting Musk's team has been granted read-only access, suggesting no changes will be made without higher authority. That's not right. Like, you should not be in control of whether or not this old person gets a social security checks. You should not be in charge of whether or not this old woman can go into pharmacy with her, you know, RX card and fucking buy her meds. Like, no. Is he doing that? Is he removing people's helping her? Yes, that's what that whole federal freeze was about a week ago, which fucking damn they sent the the country into a fucking frenzy. Most of these companies cannot,
Starting point is 00:22:29 you know, foot a payroll for 30 days. Well, I gotta be honest with you. You have no idea what's going on. I don't want to learn about all this shit. I don't even want to learn about it. Yeah, I just don't want to learn about it. Elon most deputies took over the government's most basic functions. Elon,
Starting point is 00:22:45 the secret government IT take over. Elon, just tweet out, not like us, and can't think he'll be happy and everything will be fine. Listen, here's the thing. Elon, I don't want to put that prediction. I'm going to hold that one. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:23:01 All right. All I'm going to say is, there can only be one. Right? They can only be one. That's what Kendrick showed us, right? Kendrick showed us, and there can only be one. There's always remember that. And Kendrick's a Gemini and Donald J. Trump was a Gemini.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Hold on. Are you telling me that a white guy and an African are going to beef again? It's going to be the same result. Is that what you're saying? I'm just letting you know. Are you saying you don't think Trump is going to like the amount of power that Elon has? I'm letting you know that can only be one. I don't know if it's going to be soon or later, but it's going to be.
Starting point is 00:23:42 So you think Trump fires Elon. Fires him. Sends them back? You think he sends them back? That rocket to Mars is really going to kick them. This thing, Elon should just watch it back. Man, I thought we were going to talk about Justin Baldoni and Blake lively. That's what I thought we were going to.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Every white person in my life is trying to tell me about that shit. And I'm like, I don't give a fuck. I feel like that about the way you feel about, I don't give a fuck about that shit. No, I know you don't give a fuck yet. It's not there yet. But black people are going to start Karen soon, but it's not there yet. I know. White guys just started Karen this week.
Starting point is 00:24:16 My business partner is a Karen. Say again? My business partner is an actual Karen. Yeah. She has been trying to tell me this story. Bro, bro, I'm telling you. I don't care. You don't care because you don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Is that when you find out what's going on? Just the thing's trying to bring Ryan Reynolds in it? Because you know, I like Deadpool and shit. Oh, he tried to bring himself in. Really? Oh, this shit is crazy. There's a character in Deadpool that's supposed to be Baldoni. Like, this shit gets crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:42 No, no, no, no. It's not like from Kendrick shit. No, no, no. No, no, it is. This shit, this story is fascinating. But I wish, I mean, Al knows a lot of. about it so you could break down. I don't know. It's too much.
Starting point is 00:24:56 It's so deep, but the reason why dudes are starting to care about it is because on the surface, and again, I don't know much about it, but on the surface, it's starting to look like Blake Lively and Ryan, what's his name? Ryan Reynolds
Starting point is 00:25:11 were trying to swindle Baldoni out of the rights to this film and any sequels or anything. And it looks like they were using the sexual harassment of women as a device to get him moving off. You're telling me that
Starting point is 00:25:30 somebody weaponized sexual assault or rape against someone? Really? Wow. Now, wait a minute. Wow. Now wait a minute. That happens? But we got the receipts. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But my man, Baldoni saw it coming. So he started he started copying every single text, recording every single audio, recording everything. So every allegation that they started to throw out there.
Starting point is 00:25:53 He's hitting them back. He puts out the video. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Should they go in this scene? It was incredibly uncomfortable. He was doing all these things that made me feel real weird. He puts out the scene and Shorty's like,
Starting point is 00:26:03 hmm, you smell good. Like, kind of like giving him some rhythm. I told one of my people that the other day, I was like, look, what he's doing is a good strategy, but he hasn't got the right headline there. Oh, so now you know about the story. You see? You see!
Starting point is 00:26:17 I just told y'all that every white person I know has been trying to tell me this story. And I'm listening and I'm offering, what I said about him was, what's the headline? What does he need? He needs the right head on. He needs a headline that says, how many lies is Blake lively going to tell?
Starting point is 00:26:32 Like, he needs a major outlet to say how many lies is Blake lively going to get caught up in? That's what he needs. He don't have one of those yet. Look at these, Google Blake lively right now. Because everything you're saying is true. He's putting out all of these things,
Starting point is 00:26:46 rebutting everything she says, but where's it at? Blake lively facing strict measures is Justin Baldoni's legal drama. or threatened something something. Lake Lively sued for allegedly causing P. P. earned firm million dollars. Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni,
Starting point is 00:26:58 war escalates with new defamation lawsuit. No, you need a headline that says Blake, how many lies is Blake lively going to get cartelling? Justin, I think you just got your headline. No. Because someone's clipping this and they're putting it out. 100%. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:27:14 If you have something rebutting everything she said, how many lies is Blake lively going to get cartelan? Now, listen, I know nothing. nothing about this. So all this shit could be wrong. But on the surface, keep in mind, this movie that they made, the $25 million budget did $350 million. What's the movie? It ends with us. It's based on this book by her name is Colleen. Hoover. Lenzit. So he got the rights to the prequel. I think he might even have rights to other stuff. There is one clause in his purchase of the rights. And that is if he does something that breaks
Starting point is 00:27:47 a moral morality clause, he could lose the rights to it. You know what would break a morality sexual harassment. Absolutely. Now, we got something interesting here. Now it looks like a money. Again, this looks like, I'm sure they got something on their side, too. But if they drop the lawsuit and they end up paying him, I mean, look, this is like devastating effects on Reynolds' career. Blake's, I don't even know what her career is really, but Reynolds is like, nah, Reynolds is a fucking billionaire.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Ryan's good, bro. Ryan's good. This is going to add some stink to it, though. Nobody, I mean, listen, man, I'm about to say nobody really cares about the story. They weaponized allegedly the New York Times. Yeah. No, no, no. This is where it gets crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:30 The New York Times, you break that shit down. So the day after the lawsuit came out. From Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to Baldoni. New York Times put out a hit piece on Baldoni. And then people looked at the metadata of the text messages and the pictures. And they had those, like, weeks in advance. Oh, so they knew Blake Lively was. telling the truth.
Starting point is 00:28:52 No, no, no. Like, they were working on the hit piece and timed the release of it perfectly to when the lawsuit came out. Okay, so something. Somebody let them know that something big was coming about Baldoni. Get ready.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Now it looks like you're weaponizing the New York Times to put some gas on this lawsuit to really put some pressure on him. Little did they know, Baldoni got a billion dollar, a billionaire backer who was like, nah, you're not about to fuck my boy like this. Let's go, let's dance.
Starting point is 00:29:18 So when you got a guy who don't really got him a lot of money going up against these people who are not only Titans of industry, but also very wealthy, you're screwed. You got to bow out. Yeah. But the billionaire was like, now we're going to fight this fight. So now Blake and Ryan are like,
Starting point is 00:29:33 oh, shit, we thought we could shake him up and scare him and basically say that he was a Me Too guy, even though he's like this big, like, male feminist. We'll call him a Me Too guy. He's going to bow out. He's going to be pussy. There's no way he wants to fight. Motherfucker resued them for like $250 million and sued New York Times.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Marvel might be cursed, bro. Yeah, no. This new phase in the Marvel universe And there's really a Deadpool character that you remember, nice pool? Yeah. That's supposed to be Baldoni. And he's like making fun of him in the- Which you should be allowed to make fun of people.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I'm okay with that. But it's during while they're having all this conflict. And he's like alluding to lines like, oh, there should be, fuck, what's it called? Intimacy, coach and shit like that. Like he's alluding to stuff problems that's happening currently during. This is fucked up, man. Shit is crazy. Listen, we're not going to sit here and act like this shit hasn't been weaponized.
Starting point is 00:30:20 You know, they haven't been weaponizing sexual assault and rape it. And they've done it in every industry. Yeah. And not everybody got a billionaire friend who's willing to throw money down. That's the thing. We all know what's happening, but usually it doesn't get exposed. What's crazy is we all know what's happening and we look at it. Like Brett Kavanaugh gets on the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Oh, he raped the girl in college. Joe Biden, President of the United States of America. Oh, here comes. Donald Trump. Tarrett again. Donald Trump. Like I'm saying, like they do this so much. Like, they always weaponized.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Epstein. Harvey Weinstein. It's like, No, I don't know about that. Whenever it's successful people, they do. Is that too crazy? Mark Kelly, it's like they keep on bringing this shirt up. All right, guys.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Okay. They keep on trying to take the lens. Don't get some by any memes, Taylor. I'm sorry, Justin. We were cooking right there. Yeah. You know the headline you need. How many lies is Blake lively going to get content?
Starting point is 00:31:14 Because that thing that you're talking about with all the rebuttals that he's doing, I haven't seen that in the headlines yet. I only know that because I got people trying to keep me abreast of this story every day, and I don't care. He put a website out. He put a website out. It was like 40 pages of just all the whole. And I said, who's going to read that shit? I literally said that to what I'm going to read that shit.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I'm going to read that shit. And I'm going to watch her show. You see what I'm saying? Nobody's going to read that shit, yo. Nobody. I know it was popping because I had, whenever I hear multiple generations of people tell me about a story, I know the story is really percolated. So my mom is 70 fucking six years old or 77 years old.
Starting point is 00:31:48 She broke the whole shit down to me. Al is telling it, my wife is telling us, like, all these different people are bringing this story to me. I'm like, okay, wow, this is hit. This is hit the Zika. It ain't hot, though. Y'all need, white people need a white Twitter, bro. Y'all need, like, black Twitter would have had this shit.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Black Twitter would have had this shit smoking weeks ago. Dalton he got to say he's Sicilian. Don't he got to be like, yo, I'm actually African. My DNA is African. You know Hannibal made it over there with the hell of it. Don't know black people care about this shit. I don't get black people to care. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:21 I really don't. Because this story is a story story story. Thank you. You gotta have a black character in it. You gotta have a black. All you need is one. But this is why I was telling you should cover that. Bring this to Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Now, you need a black character. Biggest story. Now, you need the lawyer. You need Baldoni's lawyer on Breakfast Club. That shit would blow this. Yeah. You know what Blake should do? Taylor's involved.
Starting point is 00:32:41 All Blake got to say is Baldoni went to ditty parties and back up. No, his his history is squeaky clean. Yeah, he's like a male feminist. He's a sweet, clean, feminist. This is a with Diddy Party. No, I'm telling you, he's squeaky clean and, like, actually might be legit squeaky clean.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Not like a- No such thing. I put handcuffs on people like that. Yo, I don't trust the motherfucker that like that. And you ain't got nothing. No, I don't believe that. I don't believe that. Put a hand-
Starting point is 00:33:10 I will say-lock that motherfucker up. It is, I will say it is peculiar that you would start recording everything. Like, why are you recording everything? Something must have transpired where you felt threatened and you're like, I need to make sure I have all the evidence that can support me because he recorded every voice memo, every call. I think you. The voice memo? Play the voice memo.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Then you can judge them based on. Oh. Oh, Chris, you in on it? See? No, that's what I'm telling me. They know they care about politics right now, bro. It's about Donie versus Reynolds and Blake. Charlotte of shit is five.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I know. I've been on the phone talking to people telling him what he should be doing. This is this is the real Drake. This is white people's Drake and Kendrick. Yes. Yes, it is. It's white people's Drake and Kendrick. It's that level.
Starting point is 00:34:01 It is. This is what we're worried about right now. Drake is white people's Drake and Kendrick. What he's talking about? Let me hear it. This is when he was talking to Blake Lively. So it's a 2 a.m. voicemail. He's talking to Blake Lively.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Justin Baddoney left me at 2. any voice mail with that voice, my man wouldn't be thrilled either. All right. Blake. Wow. There's so much I want to say to you, and I hope that we can FaceTime or see each other in person soon and get to talk more, but I'm just going to send you a few thoughts, and hopefully it's not going to be more than a few minutes, but that I don't have the best track record.
Starting point is 00:34:41 I don't think either one of us have the best track record for our voice memos. I want to start with an apology. Man, I, reading the second part of your message, my heart sank. And I'm really sorry. For what? I for sure fell short. So context, this is after Blake invites him to her house, because she says she has a rewrite for a a scene in the movie.
Starting point is 00:35:19 He's like, he's like, oh, it's good, but he's like, you know, maybe we'll use some pieces of it, but maybe not. She feels super offended. Out of nowhere, all of a sudden, Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds comes, and they're like, yo, did you read her rewrite? It's genius. It's going to change the whole movie. They're like trying to strong arm and pressure.
Starting point is 00:35:38 So then he leaves and he's like, hey, I really actually liked your work, but it's like, you didn't have to bring these A listers here to strong army. So then she writes back with this long-ass email saying like, oh, my God, no one has ever taken me serious. This is what women have to deal with in this industry. Oh, God. Oh, no, no, no. They start leveraging Taylor. Yeah, so then she finishes the email with like, I just want you to know, like, I'm Calisi and I have my dragons.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Whether these dragons are for good or for bad, hopefully these dragons can help you do good as well. Yeah. So then that. First of all, he's a maniac to leave a six. me in a voicemail. We'll continue. But that's where there's voicemail come. Got you. And you worked really hard on that and
Starting point is 00:36:21 the way you framed it and and how that made you feel. I just want to say thank you for sharing that with me. That takes a lot of trust and vulnerability. And I just I feel really grateful that you
Starting point is 00:36:39 feel safe enough to tell me that that's how you feel and share that with me. and I'm really sorry I've fucked up that is a fail on my part one thing you should know about me is I will admit and apologize
Starting point is 00:36:55 when I fail I am far from perfect I'm a very flawed man as my wife will attest and uh he sound guilty bro I'm gonna say the wrong thing he sound guilty of him
Starting point is 00:37:09 he sound guilty of shit I'll be honest you off probably I'll be honest you the second that voicemail started, I was like, that motherfucker's a serial killer. He sounds different. Free stuff, you. Freeze Blake, freed that pool.
Starting point is 00:37:25 So where's the voicemails? 30 seconds in his voicemail. Where's the voicemails from Blake? No, hers was all written. But they released it. They're releasing everything. Yeah, that's why he loses. That's why he's losing in the media.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Because he got shit that sound like this, and then he got shit he wanted us to read. It's not reading. We're not reading. I know. I'm telling that shit. On TikTok. everyone is against.
Starting point is 00:37:46 It's 100% in support of him. Zero in support of Blake and Wright. You've never seen a cultural step. Is it because he's the undergod? It's because he's the underdog. It's because every single thing Blake accused him of, he has proof to rebuttal it. Bro, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Every. She accused him of breaking into her trailer while she was breastfeeding. And then he goes, what? And drops the text message exchange. And she was like, he was like, hey, can I come talk to you about the scene? Now she's like, yeah, sure, I'm just pumping, but just come in. Free Justin That's her that's so good
Starting point is 00:38:17 You know Donie Free Valdonie Lock up Deadpool bro Justin B's No don't lock up No no no no
Starting point is 00:38:24 No not no No not Lady pool I have no Recast Ladypool Listen What does Ryan
Starting point is 00:38:30 have to do with this Ryan is married to Blake And Ryan So Ryan Oh you didn't know that I didn't know that I don't know why I'm just I didn't know that
Starting point is 00:38:37 I don't know why I'm just So check it So at one point I guess the movie got Shut down during COVID or something like that And I think Ryan makes this move to get the rights of the movie.
Starting point is 00:38:47 And he's like, I love to buy it or something like that, right? Because in the beginning, so Deadpool and this movie are slated to film at the same time. Yeah. So Ryan kind of brings Baldoni to decide and be like, yo, is there any way you could push the recording back like two weeks? I haven't been away from my wife for this long. And the guy's like, we really can't. And I think Ryan was just like upset like, you're not going to bow down and do what I'm saying. So then when the strike happened, Ryan kind of.
Starting point is 00:39:14 strong on them like, hey, she's feeling uncomfortable. We're going to go to the times with this, or you can sell me the rights of the movie. And what is, this is a crazy threat, bro? That's from Blake. If you ever get around the watching Game with Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Colise and like her, I happen to have a few dragons for better or worse, but usually for better because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too. I can promise you. Yeah. That's a wild threat. That's wild. And now... Brian innocent.
Starting point is 00:39:47 He's just the husband. He's just a husband. He's a little jealous. That's what I thought. You're just a husband. You're doing what your wife asking you to do. Yeah, but do you think a woman is smart enough to orchestrate them? I think that...
Starting point is 00:40:04 I don't think you have to be smart. Talk your shit. This don't sound smart. Fuck your shit up. This shit sound like Mint Mobile. No, just don't sound like aviation jets. You know, she makes you. Game of Thrones analogies, bro.
Starting point is 00:40:17 No, no, no, she didn't, oh, she wrote that text. That's what I'm saying. Like, that's not smart. Like, that was- I'm saying orchestrating this whole hostile takeover. No, but that's why she's getting jammed up because she's not even smart enough to realize, damn, I sent text messages saying the obvious.
Starting point is 00:40:31 She ain't know that he was keeping all that shit. But if you sent a text message, you've got to know it's still there. So you agree she's not smart? She's not smart because she's not smart because she's not smart. She's not smart. But Ryan... He's good. He's good.
Starting point is 00:40:45 He's good. I try to catch him down. I try to have him up and catch him. But it just never seems to work. Ryan's sitting around like now like, what the fuck did you get me into? Exactly. Now wait for it. Taylor is the...
Starting point is 00:40:56 I love gossiping. Taylor is the godmother of one of their kids or a couple of their kids. She's like best friends with... They've been friends for 10 years. 10 years. Apparently Taylor and her team have now distanced... Apparently this is... have now distanced themselves from Blake.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Because when they saw that message, they're like, oh, I feel like I'm being used. I don't want anything to do with this. I saw that shit at the award show. One of them tried to approach her and Taylor did some shit like this. And when she did that, security just, it was like a smack signal or some shit.
Starting point is 00:41:30 That shit was crazy. What are you talking? You didn't see that shit? Yeah. Blake tried to approach her at the fucking Grammys and Taylor did like this. And when she did like that, security just knew exactly what to do that.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Spanky like, she heard with this. Look. Oh, get that shit, Taylor. Yo, Taylor got a little something, bro. Cut it out. Taylor got a little something. God bless. No, no, no, with all due respect, with all due respect.
Starting point is 00:41:55 You see it, though, right? No. Nah. With all that buddy, you can't just hire like some chorerague to teach her how to date? You wouldn't be able to handle on that. You know why Taylor wins? Because she white and she's unapologetically white.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Yeah. She ain't out there trying to be like Miley looking like she got rhythm. She's like, you know what I'm saying? That leg looks stank. That's a real stank leg right there. That's a stank leg, okay? That's a stanky leg. That's all your legs look too clean.
Starting point is 00:42:22 That's a stanky leg. That's a stanky leg right there. She's not anybody to cook out with that right there? No. You got a seasoned chicken. Look how stanky that leg is like there. That leg's stank, man. Go ahead, trap.
Starting point is 00:42:37 You think Travis's going to propose her? Do you sound like some bitches. I know. I know. Son, it's home. Girl, dad. Girl, dad. Yo, it's girl dad.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Yo, we are ready. We are ready for our daughters to be gone. This whole weekend watching this shit outside. No, where's the guy from Bravo? What's his name? It's Charlie. Andy Cohen. Andy Cohen.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Come on, brilliant idiots and break this shit down. Bring your ass. Bring your ass. Bring your ass. Don't threaten Andy with a good time. Andy, back that ass up in here. I want to see how fake you then. Listen, do you?
Starting point is 00:43:11 You think Travis is going to propose to her? Yo, I love you, bro. I love you. I love you. I love you because we just need to get in. You know, and now we talk about what we really want to talk about, right? Yeah. Which is, is he going to propose at his approval?
Starting point is 00:43:27 Is Travis going to propose? Yeah, what if somebody concusses him and he forgets he was supposed to do that? God damn. Listen, you can't propose if you lose, though. I thought you cannot propose if you lose. You got to win. You got to win. That shit would look so.
Starting point is 00:43:40 First of all, you're not even going to get to state. if you don't win. Yeah, you don't want to propose on a sideline. That's right. That's right. You have to win. Right. You could steal the thunder away from the winning team.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Nobody worried about that proposal. This is going to be the first Super Bowl, not the first, but this is going to be like one of the first Super Bowels that when the game is over, the game is going to be like the fourth for fifth thing everybody's talking about. And it's probably going to be an amazing game
Starting point is 00:44:04 because you're going to have motherfucking Kendrick Lamar performing the Super Bowl, all the Taylor Swift cutaways. if Travis, if the chiefs win and Travis proposes the Taylor right there and then retires, right? Ooh, come on, man. Where the fuck is the game?
Starting point is 00:44:22 Trump's going to be there. Is he going to be there? Yes. Yo, how Trump's going to be in the fucking... Can I be honest or two? How could you... How could you not do cutaways of the Taylor when you see that stank?
Starting point is 00:44:34 When you see that stank? What, like, if you were the director of the Super Bowl and you could cut to the action You could catch the tackle. You could replay one of the greatest passes and catches in history. Or you could see her getting stanky. That stank.
Starting point is 00:44:47 That's that stank. Because you remembered it. Because I saw when she did it and the security cable and fucking tackle Blake loudly. They did because Blake was like, can I guess some of that? She was like, nah. God, damn.
Starting point is 00:44:58 This stank for one person only. And the creative party, she brought her arm into it. Right. Bye. Bye. Candy sweet. Good is gold. She didn't even do that other leg.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Look, one leg action. Look, pop the other leg. If the other leg, watch it, no, one leg. Yeah, but if the other leg did it, that's doodle brown. That's doo-to-brow. She didn't even do the other leg, you know. All right, Travis. Now, we get it now.
Starting point is 00:45:23 We get it now. We always got it. You think so? You guys get it now. Does Travis take the last name Swift? Say again? Does Travis take the last name Swift? Man, got it.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Because Taylor Swift, Kelsey ain't going to hit. You ain't buying them tickets. Taylor Swift. He's going to be Travis Kelsey. Travis Swift is kind of fire, though. No, you can't take your wife's name, bro. Why not? Why not?
Starting point is 00:45:42 Travis, Swift. Take your wife's name. Walk out of here. Listen, man. He better. Watch. You can't. After Sunday.
Starting point is 00:45:50 That shit is embarrassing. What do you tell your kids? What? That your mom is the biggest motherfucker start in the world as I took her last name, and then you show him that video and says, son, when you find some stink legs like this, you're going to take her last name too, got that. That shit smells through the screen. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:46:05 That shit smells through the screen. sniff it. There's a fragrance. I ain't gonna front me, I saw some black dudes losing it, man. Some of them, there were some pro-black people out there. So did that, right? There was some pro-black people who was like, God. They're going crazy.
Starting point is 00:46:20 They're going crazy like, that's not the thing they've always loved. Yo, what? Yo, yo, yo, that's my favorite thing. I was shocked. I was kind of shocked. I'm like, God, damn. Oh, wait. They only got people thinking out loud.
Starting point is 00:46:33 You can't be thinking out loud on social media. But that's what a stank was like that does. You can't be thinking out loud. You can't be thinking out loud. on social media. They were people in Dr. Umar comments like, Dr. Umma, I need to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I need your help. I need your help. Clean's me. Black queens forever, snow bunnies never. I said black queens forever, snow bunnies never. I said black queens forever,
Starting point is 00:46:54 snow bunnies never. That snow bunny crisis is real. Let's pay some bills and come back and do some by any memes. God damn. Nah, Taylor got it, bro. God damn. She had the hip action like that.
Starting point is 00:47:06 A lot of y'all slept on it. But look at that. Nah, that ain't no hip action. That's just the way she fucking tooting it out. That's, that's hip action, bro. No, it's not. Because that's what she got his hips. What?
Starting point is 00:47:16 No, bro. Ain't nothing but hips. Nah, you guys are really hating right now. That's incredibly beautiful, talented, smart woman. Bro, she got a shoulder bone on her waist. What are you talking about? No disrespect, Travis. I'm just saying,
Starting point is 00:47:31 yo, with all due respect, you have to know that we're not mature enough to have this conversation. We are not mature enough to have this conversation. So, Van tweeted. What a Van tweeted? Van tweeted, I'm discepting with myself. Van smelled that stink. He did.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Tell me he smelled that stink. Yo, you know, sometimes stank can make you honest, bro, that's the problem. Sometimes stank brings out your honesty. When you see some stink like that, the truth comes out with the steak, don't it? Damn. Van turned into Michael Rappaport's character.
Starting point is 00:48:07 in higher learning. I think he turned into Rappaport's character in high and learning. When he saw that picture? God, damn, man. Jesus Christ. He didn't need to tweet it, bro. He didn't need a tweet.
Starting point is 00:48:21 He couldn't help it. Sometimes you can't help it, bro. Tweetin how loud? He couldn't help it, man. Sorry, we forgive you, bro. We forgive you. We forgive you. You know not what you do.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Man, delete that tweet, bro. You gotta delete it. Let's pay some bills, Taylor. You got any church announcements, Shote? No. Sir. Go get Anita Copac's book, The Win on Her Tongue. It is available everywhere you buy books now, courtesy of Black Privilege Simon Shoots to publishing. And we got Tamika Mallory's new book. I lived to tell the story. That'll be out in February. It's available for pre-order right now as well. Damn, I said February, like February 8 next week, February 8th, matter of fact. We're in February. Yeah, we're in February right now. February 11th. Next week, Tomica Mallory's new book, I live to tell the story, will be available everywhere you buy. books, but you can pre-order now. Real quick, have you ever heard
Starting point is 00:49:17 of a term gumping? Have you heard of that? No. Taylor, can you play that video just so we can learn about this new term? Gumping. I need you to watch this video. I need audio. And I need it to start from the beginning. Okay, I see a number. It says, God. 216, 438.
Starting point is 00:49:32 A priest. Father, Bobby. I need to confess a sin, father. I worked at a grocery store in my teenage years. I won't get specific. There was this one girl. Are you familiar with the term gumping it? Father Wobby is not familiar with the term gumping it. So gumping it is when someone is not
Starting point is 00:49:52 quite retarded, but they're like just on that line. So while it's an ethical conundrum, it's not fucking a retarded person if you were to sleep. This will come important later in the story. She worked in the bakery.
Starting point is 00:50:09 And to cut to the chase, because I've already taken a minute of your time, Father. You're good. I fucked her ass in the freezer. This is Father Wobby. Gotta let a legend be a legend. Listen, have you ever gumped it? No, I've never gumped. Not that I know of, I'm probably, I'm sure I'm probably gumped on the spectrum, but I never, like, full gumped.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah, gumped on the spectrum is normal, but... Yeah, I never went full gump. You can't, no, no, no, no. Gumping it is they're not fully retarded, but it's close to the... Far as far as gumped. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But gumping it is like...
Starting point is 00:50:44 I'm gumped on the spectrum. I ain't ever went full gump. What's full gump, though? Well, full gump is not full gump is not full gump. Full gump is you don't even know if you're doing a good job because they always moaning. No. No.
Starting point is 00:51:03 No. No. No. I think good ego boost for you. It's amazing ego. She's loving this. She loving it. Fantastic point.
Starting point is 00:51:13 You know what I mean? I don't see the problem. These guys. No, no, he's making a great point. Nobody loves sex like a gump. Nobody loves sex like a gump. Nobody. Nobody make you feel like a fucking man like a gum. Hell yeah. You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't know. Sorry. Nah, you would. You ever made a woman go gump?
Starting point is 00:51:28 You ever, come on, have you? Pull that shit out. She just goes, ice cream. My girl. By the way, that was two different trains of thought that I just said. I wasn't, when I said, you know who loves trains. You know who loves trains. Listen, I don't see the problem. Taylor, what we got? Give me some by any memes necessary, man. I don't see the problem with anything that we just talked about. Neither do I.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Okay? Neither do I. What's this? Black and white? Oh, God. Yes. Alex. Alex.
Starting point is 00:52:11 This is Kanye. Great carpet. Yeah. Why are you? Because, man, you know what? Kanye is the, he tries to act so. anti-industry, but there's nobody more industry. Like, there's nobody more industry than Kanye West.
Starting point is 00:52:25 But he wants to be so anti-industry and act like he's rebelling against the machine. But he's showing up to be so much a part of the machine. Yeah. But he can't do wonders with a beautiful white woman with big tits. Like, nobody gets more out of a beautiful white woman with big tits than Kanye West. You think so? I don't know anybody in history who has gotten more attention out of a beautiful white woman with big tith. I guess.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I mean, I guess. Can't think of any. No question. It looked like they wear the same broad size if you ask me. Kanye need to do some goddamn push-up. Here's the other thing, too, man. Hey, you know, you're looking at his tip?
Starting point is 00:53:00 And I'm... What's wrong with this guy, you know? Yo, keep me in your nuts. How the hell you look at it? I didn't even know Kanye had a show. I know, son. Did you hear Kanye tell Justin LaBoy that nobody can take Kendrick
Starting point is 00:53:14 but him or some shit like that? What does that mean? Exactly. What does that mean? Like, he said something, He basically was implying that Kendrick is a master or MC and can fuck anybody up in a rap battle except for him, basically. You rap against Kendrick Lamar is really, it's a difficult task, but perhaps it's something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:35 You know what I'm a psycho genius. Yeah. You know, it could be, you know. Yeah, there you have it. Do not rap against Kendrick Lamar. Unless you're a psycho genius like me. Unless you're a psycho genius like, yay. Like cut it out.
Starting point is 00:53:48 No, no, no. I'm not impressed. Man, just, yo, you could, you don't have to lie. I'm not. Do not impress with that physical. Ain't even making nothing. Not to me. Boo.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Black queens forever, snow bunnies never. I said black queens forever, snow bunnies never. I said black queens forever, snow bunnies never. Van tweet you right now. Van deleted 14 tweets about that shit already. Van was prior tweeting them. Yeah. We didn't believe.
Starting point is 00:54:23 That's what they do. Mad drafts. You can see 300 white women in the dress. That is hilarious. What else we got, Taylor Gang? Oh, play that. That's funny, too. No, what's Petty versus Petty?
Starting point is 00:54:40 What's that? Rick Ross and 50s. I don't want to play out. Nah, no, no. What else we got? The kids' time said Drake's dad. I thought Drake's dad gave a phenomenal answer. I thought he gave a phenomenal answer, baby.
Starting point is 00:54:54 What they said? Oh, no, that was fucked up. I didn't see this one. Oh, man. For the kids, for the kids. Let the kids get their picture. Everybody back up. They all want pictures, though.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Everybody back up. I want them better for them kids, man. Like, leave people's parents alone, man. He even has an off-brand OBJ with him. Why are they doing that to Drake's dad? Leave Drake's dad alone. He ain't got nothing to do that. That's why I like when they ran up on Drake Dad.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Drake Dad, he said, man, I ain't got nothing to do with that bullshit. He'd be out of this shit, man. Leave OG alone, man. Is he at the Grammy? Where is he? He's at the Grammy. He'd be outside. Why is he at the Grammy?
Starting point is 00:55:43 He'd be out. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm happy nothing to happen to him. You know what I'm saying? You got some idiots out here that'll do something like snatch to change. You know, that would be so fucking corny. So corny.
Starting point is 00:55:55 And it was in L.A. It would have been super corny. I'm glad nothing like that happened. What else we got, Taylor? What was this? But they said being a savage to... Man, this was crazy. If this is, if they said that, oh, no, this is not.
Starting point is 00:56:11 This is Rick Rosson 50. I thought you were talking about the other one. Oh, sorry, hold on. Oh, hold on. Charlotte, can you explain this shit with Big Meach? I have no idea. I really don't. I mean, I really don't.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I know that if you are 50 cents friend, you know, you need to say the Fitchiech. 50, hey, fifth, can you just give me a list of everybody you don't like? Okay? So I don't take a picture with him, so I don't stand next to them. Because you got to consider that when you're friends with 50. With your friends with 50, you know, they don't want you fucking with nobody else. But you should know.
Starting point is 00:56:46 What? But you should know, like, there's not that long a list. Like, you know that what's his face is the ops. So if you're out there fraternized with them, he's going to feel away about it. Yeah. They're Rick Ross. Yeah. But, like, Rick Ross has songs, like, oh, I think I'm big Meach or whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:03 So it's like... How much loyalty should Meach have to 50? I don't know the relationship. I know that 50 did a show based off Meach's life, BMF. But how much loyalty should... To Meets make a lot of money off of it? I don't know. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:57:15 I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. He put his son in it. I wonder why... I would even... I want to ask 50 that, like, you know, how much of things are business for him and how much of things are personal. Because if it's just business and you decided to do a show based off BMF, cool.
Starting point is 00:57:31 You know what I'm saying? You ain't really tripping off Ross taking a picture with Meach. But if you really thought y'all was super, super cool, then I understand. You know what I mean? But this was crazy, too. I saw everybody, and God bless Irv Gotti, 50 posted this. He posted the headline. What's the headline, Taylor?
Starting point is 00:57:49 What does the headline say? It says, report Irv Gotti on life support, friends and family saying their goodbyes. And 50 put, damn, I wanted him to see my new shows, yo. I mean, listen. Oh, how? I mean, that's not really a fact. The 50 we know, that's not really a foul caption. No, it's not, I don't think it's foul.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Yeah. And he could have said some worse shit. But what's interesting about it is, like, now we're at the point where we know what he's saying without him even saying. Y'all didn't want to talk about Luca. I'm already late. Oh, yeah, we didn't even talk about that. Shout out to Luca.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Should me shout out like he had anything to do it. Here's the thing. Trump is going to use the Dallas GM. What's his name, Nico Harrison? Nico Harrison. The next DEI complaint that Trump has. He might be right. He's going to point to Nico.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Let the Mavericks win a championship. He might be right about that one. He's going to point the motherfucking Nico. He might be right about that one. No, no reason to trade a generational talent like Luca Doggettich. Unless, unless, Luca is a serial killer in Slovenia and we don't know about it yet. That's in Slovenia. Okay?
Starting point is 00:59:09 Because if it's just because he's fat, you don't trade him. You hire him a fucking trainer and a nutritionist, and we just saw him at the fucking lake or shit. He ain't look fat at all. To me, it shows a lack of confidence in Nico Harrison's ability to motivate superstars. if you can't take a superstar who, mind you, took them to a championship. Last year, the finals. All right, so it's not like...
Starting point is 00:59:31 Last year! So to me, what that's indicative of is Nico going, I don't believe that I can get enough out of this guy. I can't motivate him. I can't make him go to the mountaintop, which he already took you there. He didn't win it, but he already took you there. It is a very peculiar move,
Starting point is 00:59:46 and to not even shop him on the open market... Something's wrong. Something is better off. There's some conspiracy theories out there. What did you hear? Maybe tanking, the city gets disillusioned with the team. They can then move the team to Las Vegas. Well, they got better.
Starting point is 01:00:03 I mean, I know it's, I know it's, I'm going to say this. I don't want to say they got better because when you say Luca, you get rid of a talent like Luca, it's hard to say they got better. But they did get, they're still really good. You got Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irvin. They just made a trade for Khalid Martin. They're going to be in the mix. I wouldn't be surprised if Kyrie acts for a trade.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Really? Really? If, if, nah, not with Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis is, Anthony David. 25 and 10 guy, man. He ain't Luca. He's 25 and 10 guy. And they just got Khali Martin from the Sixth? But he enjoyed playing with Luca.
Starting point is 01:00:33 And to do that without a heads up. Bro, something happened. I wouldn't want to play for that team. I think he's a serial killer in Slovenia, bro. Something happened that we don't. I think he might have knocked off one of the executives' wives or something. Something happened that we don't know about. I think it's an injury that is like one of those that won't get better.
Starting point is 01:00:51 How? Just that he's like, hiding it. He's maybe doped up or something like that. He was averaging 33 a game last year, 28 to C. 28th game this year. Alex, it doesn't explain not putting him on the open market. Yeah, but. I think there might be collusion.
Starting point is 01:01:03 If something gets out about the injury, while you're shopping them. Lucas's going to come back this weekend. You don't think go back. And drop 40. There's nothing right. I don't know. I can't believe.
Starting point is 01:01:15 I don't think it bleed the injury shit. Let me tell you something. I heard somebody else said alcohol is a problem. He said he's drinking and smoking. but like again he's Russian but he's not Russian but that's what is he? I know the world the world is so I know what is he isn't but he is
Starting point is 01:01:32 yeah it's what it is right two Americans yeah but he isn't he had vodka and his breast milk bro what is he's that come about all I'm saying is he been drinking for a long time it's their culture wherever he's from Slovenia yeah it's not vodka what are they guys called like it's like Raqa or something like that I forget the name of it anyway it doesn't matter point is
Starting point is 01:01:52 Something's weird and this is a little fishy. Because what they wanted to do is build this casino complex around the new Dallas Mavericks arena. But they can't do it because I think gambling is illegal in Texas. So they need permission from the governor to break that law. And I think the reason that it's illegal is because Texas is conservative state and I think the religious folks out there are like, no, we don't want fucking casinos everywhere there.
Starting point is 01:02:12 I believe gambling might be a sin to a certain extent or frown upon. So they're saying, and the new people that bought it, the Adelson's are in the casino business. So they're like, we bought this to build a fucking casino. If you're telling us right now we can't build a casino, we got to go somewhere where we can build a casino. And we damn sure ain't going to be able to move when the entire city loves this incredibly successful team. If the team sucks for five years,
Starting point is 01:02:33 then maybe we can move it somewhere else, build our casino complex and make the real money because you're not making money off the teams like you used to. You've got to pay these guys $500 million. It's unbelievable. Yeah, man, I think it's fucked up. And in fact, you're not going to be able to get the supermax all because he got traded, which I think is very unfair
Starting point is 01:02:48 because he earned that money. Like, there's nothing he did on the court that should keep him from getting that money. The fact that he just got traded because somebody made a bad, I'm not even going to say it's a bad trade. I just think it's a stupid trade. It's a trade that don't make any sense. We don't know why it happened. And somebody got to give us a fucking reason. You want to know something?
Starting point is 01:03:07 I heard that in the purchasing of the team, there was a clause put in by the NBA that they could not include Cuban in basketball related to it. Well, he's no longer a majority owner. But he can't even be included in basketball-related decisions. Yeah, he's not. But you don't have to be a majority owner to be involved. But I think he purposely took a step back from basketball operations. What I heard is that he's not even allowed to be privy to them. And that was part of the agreement.
Starting point is 01:03:37 So to me that feels like it's the NBA going, all right, get this motherfucker out of. You got a leak that Luke who was on the Diddy tapes or something. You heard that new story about they said Diddy was, did he oiled up two guys? before he fucked him. And one of the guys said that Diddy used to like for him the nut on the girl, and then Diddy would fucking drink the nut. Drinking the nut is crazy, but just watching someone nut on a girl is porn. Like, I don't know if that's that weird.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Yeah, but then drinking the nut afterwards? Drinking the nut is weird with the baby oil. There's like a health hazard. He drank the nut. That's why he got the idea for Coloso. Come on, show. That's what they did. That's the thing there.
Starting point is 01:04:18 They say that's how you got that tip of cocoa lozbo, man. You're just trying to get that. No, I'm just telling you, you're drinking that shit. You don't know what's in that motherfucker, man. Got a white dot for a reason. You know what somebody licked the white dot of the cocoa lozzo bottle? You wonder what the fuck they got that idea from. I need to know where Surak's sales are right now.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Well, he's not a part of it no more. It doesn't matter. He's still attached to it. Like, he identifies Sorok as his vodka, even if he's not a part of it. Nah. Yes. He had a delion. No more.
Starting point is 01:04:47 You still think so nice? Yeah. When people say Syrac bottle, you still tie it. Thinking the Diddy commercial, yeah. I guess. Like, I'm not buying Syrac anymore. Yeah. You end up getting butt-fucked. You will. What you do with Delian, though?
Starting point is 01:05:03 Delion, too. You know what Delian is French for? What is it for? It's French for butt-fucking. No. Sodominy. You didn't know that? It means family matters. I hear a nigga just wearing out some shit.
Starting point is 01:05:16 I'm like, huh? Like hearing that? I'm like on six-old, who's wearing this bitch out? Right. Nick, I kick in the door, poof. Kicking the door. Nick, I've seen, I look, I've seen Carl Winslow put a head up. Ain't that the father from family matters?
Starting point is 01:05:31 Yeah. No way. Oh, the dad. The dad. Oh, the dad. I swear to God, dad homie, neighborhood crib. So when I see, I've seen that. Man.
Starting point is 01:05:42 So who's piping Carl? Did he? Yeah, did he was. So when I see, when I see, when I see, that cuz right. Diddy came back and he was telling me he was like it's nothing more enjoyable to having a man do something for some money. I'm like cuz that shit crazy. Oh no. That's good. That's crazy. You know that's crazy. You know they said after Ditty finished fucking him he nutted on his ass and went, did I ain't do that?
Starting point is 01:06:11 Who did I ain't do that? Did you hear that? Y'all may watch the rest of the video. Bye. We are non-mature enough to have these serious conversations. Let's go come after you this. What should Chris Punishment be? FtL underscore Tony says,
Starting point is 01:06:41 what should Chris punishment be once it's confirmed he's a Chinese spy? I'm going to let Trump figure that one out. No, we got some good shit. You got a good one for him? He got to eat with a fork. Wooten. Like, I'm sick and tired of seeing Chris. everything with chopsticks. Even shit, you're not even, I saw him eat a burger with chops.
Starting point is 01:06:58 I said, Chris, you can eat that with shit. And he, and he was like, no, like he said, no. And this motherfucker took a chop stick on a burger from five guys and ate it like that. They said, did he tried to use chopsticks to eat the gum, yo? He said he was, said the chopsticks come was perfect tough, Chris. I know. Perfect tough. Yo, he doesn't even go like that. I told Chris at his dick out. Yeah. This guy is wild.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Damn, bro. No, for real. Yeah, I'm about to get that. They did say that shit, though. Give me one more. Give me one more, man. Give me another one. They did, did, do you hear what they were saying about the cum tapes or whatever like that?
Starting point is 01:07:34 What? Yeah, I don't know. Tavolese spy. Not Taiwanese. We know you're Chinese, bro. I just got... But we were talking about what Did he used to do with the sweet and sour sauce. Juan Carlos.
Starting point is 01:07:47 A time in your life when you thought you made a bad deal and turned out to be better than. Hmm. time of my life and I thought I made a bad deal would I turn out to be better than I don't know yeah I mean you I don't know I had to think about that because why would you make the bad deal
Starting point is 01:08:03 why would you make the bad deal no you made a deal turned out it was bad but then it worked out for you I would say you're a special hold on hold on hold on is that because that's where my brain went too but I don't know if that's a question go back to it Taylor
Starting point is 01:08:17 time of your life where you where you thought you made a bad deal. Yeah. Like nobody goes into a deal. That's what I'm saying. Like I was, but if you thought you made a bad deal, then that means you know you made a bad deal. That's the thing I didn't make a bad deal. Like, I was hyped for it.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Yeah. And then they wanted you to cut stuff out and you was like, oh, fuck. But I didn't know. He didn't make a bad deal. Going into it, they were like, do say whatever you want. So I wasn't tripping. That's a weird one. It's a weird question because like knowing you made a bad deal is weird. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. All right. Give us one more.
Starting point is 01:08:50 One more, Taylor. One more. One more. One more. One more, one more. I like this. We can end on this one. How do you stay creative, like posting every week without being repetitive or burnt out? I mean, it's easy because, well, two things. It depends what you're calling creative. Because when we're doing this, this is just us every day being ourselves.
Starting point is 01:09:10 And there's always new content to talk about it. Right? Now, when you're talking about other forms of creativity, which is, you know, at least for me, writing books, doing audio scripted content, you know, producing TV. producing film, that's a different creative muscle. And those creative muscles, you're on those projects for a while. So, like, you can have an idea for a TV show, and you're on that idea for a while.
Starting point is 01:09:34 You have the idea for a film. You're on that idea for a while because you're writing, you're building. So you kind of just stay in those spaces. And as far as this, it's like, every week there's new shit to talk about. Every day is something new to talk about. I do radio every day, literally.
Starting point is 01:09:50 It's an amazing muscle. I don't think people realize that like what training radio is because you're doing a pod every single day for 10 years and then you get into podcasting and then if this is like you relax it. Yeah, because now it's actually easier to do this because there's no rigidity.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Yeah, you've had a week to think about things. Your shit might be better here because you give it more thought, you know what I mean? Like then you do on the radio. I'm not because I don't... You fleshed out the ideas even on radio. Like every single day on radio you were talking about a different thing.
Starting point is 01:10:19 That's right. So then you talk about, similar topics for about two or three days. By the time you get in here, it's like, oh, shit, I got a really refined. And everywhere I, every, every platform I have requires the same me with a different version of me. Like, I know what I can do on Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:10:35 Or I know what I want to do based on who the other characters are. Address and NB and Lauren, whoever else. Same thing with idiots. I know what, I know shows. Like, so it's different. If I'm on daily show, that's a different thing. Like, all of these things require different versions of, Different parts of you.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Different parts of me. That's the perfect word for it. Different parts of me. All right. I got to go. Next week, I promise. We've been giving them
Starting point is 01:10:59 more than two hours every week. I don't think you should feel guilty, man. Yeah. Like, we prioritize this over most things in our life. That's right. We've been doing this shit for 12 years. If you got to go,
Starting point is 01:11:08 you got to make a short one this week, that's okay. I've been running late all day too. God damn it. But I want you guys to look in, think about that. Think about how successful he is. This is the dedication of brilliance. Think about how successful
Starting point is 01:11:20 busy he is. We're still doing a longer episode than most podcasts, and there's like a little party that feels guilty like you didn't give enough. That's dedication and that is gratitude. So thank you guys so much for all this. Always. Thank you. Rocking with us like this. So thank you guys so much, man. As always, you listen to this podcast,
Starting point is 01:11:36 you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right, too. It's the brilliant idiot's podcast. Thank you for listening. Peace. Are you one of those media strategy people, clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets? Yes?
Starting point is 01:11:52 Good, this is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different, locked in, loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it, like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans?
Starting point is 01:12:15 Spotify Advertising, you're among fans.
