After, they get into some political conversation involving Joe Biden and crack Pipes, which turned into us Americans wanting another political party to vote for!

Big Wax is here. Yeah. Fresh off of a live Bullying the Beast podcast. Yes, man. How was it, man? Sold out. I thought I was going to get the jitteries more. You know what I'm saying?

I'm like, I'll do the shorts and them go up here and actually do this. Half of the water is on your shirt. It is a wrong. It is a lot. Were you in a wide shot for when that happened? that was so impressive dude that was I think y'all did that on purpose

making my seat was loose oh it was the bottle you were paying full attention to him as half the water was cascading down your shirt that was so impressive that was so impressive

okay tell us about your show you thought you thought you were gonna get the jitteries I was gonna really like the butterflies like when I used to play football and stuff like that yeah it was cool was alright yeah I'm saying I wasn't this nervous I guess if I was up there by myself

I probably would have, but. How many times did Taylor come on stage? Answer the important question. How many times did it? Get all up in the video. She definitely had the emails. Everybody said, what's up, T, Diddy.

She got to make sure she have that. She didn't have a segment like being her, so I lost some money. Hold on when she was reading emails and every email she said started off. Everything. That's the only way to get on the show, actually. Is it say T.

Diddy name is that the email? No. It's the only way. Everybody know it too. They'd be like, oh, I once forgot. Hey, T. Diddy, this is only way for me to get on. Okay, what's up, y'all? You know what I'm saying?

So I lost some bread. I thought she was going to get her own little segment on the show. But she stayed back. She was cool. It was really dope show. I saw her post. The first thing I saw her post was my live show sold out. She was my first live show sold out.

I said, go ahead. That's her, that's her, man. It was her show. It was definitely her show because she came late and everything. Loria was like, where's this? Where's that? They're like, where T. did he at. Oh, she's, she out there getting ready.

She was getting ready. She was getting ready. She was getting ready. What you mean? She was in a dressing room. The door was like Lario tried to get into the room. Stop playing, yo. I'm dead serious. I'm not dead serious. The door was in there. She had the people in there getting her done for the show. We was like, I didn't expect nothing else. What do you mean getting her done for the show?

What you mean? She getting ready for the show. Make up and a half? Yes. And stop playing! What are you talking about? You didn't expect anything else? No, I actually don't. God. I didn't expect that else either. Well, congrats on a great live show. Well done, T. Diddy.

How was the week? I think we know why we're here! Jesus. Why are we here, bro? Definitely because of Jesus. I want to talk Rogan, man. Oh, shit, okay. That's old news, bro.

It's definitely old news. Yeah. It's definitely old news. I actually, I really liked what India already said yesterday. What did she say yesterday? Well, number one, she said she don't think Joe Rogan is racist. She just thought it was insensitive. and she said that she's not in the cancel culture.

So what was her initial comments? Because I think that's, she's commenting on her initial thing. She was like, take my stuff off Spotify. Yeah, and she expounded on that. Her initial comments was, you know, Spotify pays artist pennies, but, you know, pays Rogan $100 million. And Rogan says things like this. She was like, it wasn't even just the COVID misinformation.

Misinformation, I put that in there, quote. You know, it was his language around race. But what she said yesterday was, It was real, man. She was like, yo, I don't believe in cancellation. I believe in curation. Yeah.

Meaning, I chose to step away from Spotify because I don't want to be on a platform. Yeah. That supports that. Yeah. But I was just like, yo, that is, that's what everybody should do.

We live in a curation culture. Yeah. If you don't like something, just simply don't listen. Like, and she says she's not in the censorship. And I'm going to be honest, man. It's just,

that's not even happening. I don't got to be honest. truth. If you're a radio personality, podcaster, rapper, comedian, artist in general, anybody that does this for a living, if you open your mouth and words come out for a living, you can't be for

censorship. Yeah, that's correct. And if you are a comedian, if you are from a certain era, there is no way in hell. You can look at Joe Rogan and be like, that's fucked up. Right. That's what kills me about all of this. Yeah. The lack of self-awareness that some people have, the hypocrisy that some people have.

Did you see the YouTube live between Dave Portnoy? You know Dave Portnoy? Yeah, he runs Barclos. Yeah, he did a YouTube live with the three dudes that, I guess, are running this company that populated the internet with the Rogan's video. So they were like sharing it with a bunch of, and I could be getting this wrong. So we're giving if I get it wrong. More or less, they were involved in like sharing this with celebs and specifically Targons. like black celebs, black entertainers, et cetera,

kind of galvanized in and pushing. And he's doing this whole thing, and they're like, nah, it's not our fault and freedom of speech, et cetera. And again, I could be getting this wrong. But towards the end, he goes, now what if, so none of you guys, so the guy goes to Rogan, he goes, so to Portnoy, he goes,

so you promise you'll never use the N word ever, again on broadcasts. Because Portnoy had been sung it in a song or a couple things, right? And he goes, yeah, I've already said, I'm not going to do that. And then Porter goes, do you guys promise? You'll never use it again. And they're like, we never use it.

And he goes, what if I said I had a text message from one of you guys where you use the N-word and a text message? And they're like, that's never happened. What are you even talking about? He goes, does one of you guys have a fiancee named Lexi? Holy shit. Bro, this is happening live? Holy shit.

This is happening live, dude. And they're like, what do you have been talking about? And, yo, these guys who are supposed to be on a team, same team supposed to be brother. The way that one dude dogged out his homie so fucking fast, he goes, well that would be Jared's fiance immediately bro and then he's like no that never happened he goes what if I have a text message where you

use that in a text so we started thinking about this I mean you were even hitting me up yesterday like this you know you're going to look back at everybody's shit I was talking about this the other day like you know if they just release the call of duty or Fortnite transcripts of these little 14 year olds

all they need to do is release that shit and everybody cancel culture is done being right The whole alphabet they say. These little kids say everything. Let me run pharyngeus on anybody's phone. Suck, over. You know what I'm saying?

But, you know, listen, I said it before and I say it again. I don't think there's ever room for a white person to use the N-word just simply because I don't think any of us should use it. But definitely a white person because it's just like there's no upside to it. If you listen to Rogan, he agrees. Like, there's this weird conversation to happen on the internet when we were calling out that this is like a clear hit piece on Rogan. and the people were saying, oh, there's a lot of white people out here

justifying him using the N-word. And it's like, Rogan doesn't even justify it. Rogan's like, I regret doing it. That's why I apologize. I wish I didn't do it. He didn't call anybody the M-word. I mean, it's up to you guys to decide in what way it can be used and worse and not use at all, obviously.

But it's not like he was speaking about the word, right? He was speaking about the word. He was talking about titles of albums. He was quoting comedians. The planet of the apes thing was the worst one to me. Yeah. And he says that's the most regrettable. But by the way, that was 12 years ago.

We've all made fucked up jokes. Terrible jokes. And I listen to Joe Rogan. I don't know him personally like you do. I met him twice, but I've been listening to him over a decade. The one thing I've always liked about Joe is his self-witness.

Yes. Right? So if he's in, if you go back and watch the planet and the apes thing, even in that commentary, he literally goes, oh, my bad, that's fucked up.

That was racist. And then he switches and starts talking about the love he was, how he loved being in that environment and how he enjoyed watching in the movie in that setting, whatever, whatever. But it's just like, man, the thing that really got me this week was just the lack of self-awareness of some people because I'm watching certain folks take him to task. And I'm like, bro, I've been following you for years.

And what happened on Monday? Monday morning, literally, everybody started getting aired out. Everybody, all of these different people started getting aired out, all of these different things they said on blogs back in the day, all these different things they said on television, and are in comedy shows. The Young Turks thing was very interesting to me. You know what I mean?

Because I fuck with the Young Turks. I'm still going to fuck with the Young Turks. Yeah, right? But it's like you called them out and they came with their own N-word compilation on them, right? And theirs was wide, bro. And what was interesting, one of the anchors from the Young Turks doubled down

and was like, whenever we used the N-word, we used it while we were quoting racist. And they were like, cancel us if you want. And I'm like, I don't think that was the way that should have been handled. And I'm sure she might have apologized by now. I don't know. I haven't seen it.

But it's like the thing Rogan did, Rogan didn't double down. He didn't triple down. Like, yo, I apologize. Yeah. I'm going to do, I've been stopped using the word. I'm definitely going to do better moving forward.

The conversation I think we're not having is I saw people say like, you know, he caters to the right. I don't, I don't think he caters to the right. I think he's just a curious person who's willing to sit down with any and everybody. I think the problem is the left has made Rogan's so radio. that they're afraid to go sit down with him because they're afraid about the backlash they'll get from sitting down with him. Fouts.

Oh, you're talking to this. Now you're talking about it. Absolutely. So they paint him as radioactive so that they don't have to talk about it. You know, it's so funny, the first time I went on Rogan, I literally said that. I was like, that's the strategy. Paint someone is radioactive. Then you don't even have to talk to him.

So now you don't even have to engage in a discourse. Yeah. Discourse. But, like, you don't even have to have that. And not even debate, just like exchange ideas. Like, dude, I would love to see Fauci on road. Shouldn't you? By the way, for somebody who has an audience that big,

and if you think he's putting out misinformation, go sit with him. Bam, Fauci will go on every fucking podcast, every CNN show with half a million viewers. The guy's getting 11 million a day. Why would you not go on to the podcast? If you really cared about sharing information, especially you cared about sharing information

to the people that are most skeptical about what you're saying, Yeah. If you truly cared about helping, you would go to the place where you could help the most people, right? 100%. That's why it's cap.

100%. Because one thing I also notice about Rogan, if Rogan... Here she is. He did he. Yeah. Peace, Chrissy. Hi.

If Rogan knows about the information someone's talking about, he'll challenge them. Yes. You know what I mean? If he has an opposing view, he'll challenge them. I have not seen him

have these people on his show and not challenge them. That's why I enjoy listening. Now, some people will say, if he doesn't know what he's talking about, he just listens to the person. That's what an interviewer is supposed to do. That's how it works.

I get that all the time as a broadcaster. I'll be sitting there having a conversation with somebody. I'm listening to what the person has to say, and then I see all the comments on YouTube, people challenging what the person said, this and that. Great. If I don't have the information, what am I supposed to do?

I'm just a curious person who likes to sit and talk with people. It's not our fault that these, doctors and whoever else would rather go to Rogan, would rather go to the breakfast club, would rather sit on the view. Because the so-called experts on the CNNs and the Foxes and the MSNBCs, either they're not willing to engage with these people, they just don't, they don't have to reach. I don't know what it is. Or they're not allowed. Or they're towing the company line and they're saying exactly what the company wants them to say, right? Remember when we were about to run out of masks in the beginning?

Yeah. Right? And they said, You don't need a mask. Fauci said that. Literally Fauci said it. Why do you say that? Not because you need to need one because they were like, hey, we need to save all the masks for the hospital people. So don't go out and buy all the masks. So if we know that they're willing to quote unquote misinformed.

Yeah, for the benefit for what they believe is the benefit. I'm not even saying misinformed for bad reasons. I think a lot of times government misinformed because they're like, if we told them the truth, truth, they wouldn't do it. So it's almost like with your kids, right? It's just like, you got to brush your teeth. Why? Or your teeth will fall out. they ain't really going to fall out.

But I got to tell you that so you take this shit seriously. Hey, the global warming, we got to take this seriously. Why? Because in 20 years, we're all going to be underwater. Yeah. Well, shit, I plan on being here in 20 years.

I guess I got to take it seriously. We're not going to be underwater in 20 years. Listen, I agree with all of that. And I also think sometimes they just don't know the truth, true. Yeah. They really just don't know. So it's like, there's things Dr. Fauci said

two years ago that would be considered misinformation now. When he went out there and said, nobody should wear a mask, whatever, and stuff's where mad. That could be considered misinformation. Also, you don't think Dr. Fauci said an M-word, brother.

The guys are 80 old enough. Not one, not one, bro. At least eggplant, at least. At least. At least. Eggplant, what, a moulignan? What? A muley?

Yeah. He always call me a fucking muley. You don't know what that is? Yes, I do. I didn't know what that was black? What was that? It's what Italians would call black people. Moulinianian means eggplant in Italian.

Yes. Eddie Murphy had that hilarious skit. the moly's going to pay for it. Listen, I've been saying all week, my thing is I'm not in no moral position as a broadcaster to have an opinion about Joe Rogan.

And I'm going to tell you something, the reason I'm going to be consistent in my message and the same reason I'm consistent in all my messages when it comes to any of this stuff is because this can happen to any of us at any given time. This will happen to your favorite person. This will happen to the person that you love.

This will happen to that person that you think is so great. One of my favorite things to do is letting people tell his age, even though Taylor's getting up there, letting people tell his age, letting people denial his age, you know, 30, 20-something, hear stuff from our era. They can't believe it. That's like I used to be. Like they literally cannot believe the things comedians used to say,

the things people used to rap about, the things that used to be in movies. It's unbelievable to them. I was watching the old Howard Stern sketch. Let me tell how ill Howard is. Howard went on the view in 2019. I couldn't believe that. Alex said he couldn't believe.

How old are you, Alex? 33. But this is the ill part. When Howard went on the view in 2019, Sonny was like, you used to really have some real offensive stuff on your show back in the day. Used to use the N word all the time. Howard goes, I did not.

He goes, wait a minute. Wait a minute, I did not use the N word. I used to have a character on there who was a member of the KKK. He used to use the N word. And then whoever did it, slices the video to Howard with the black face on

pretending to be Ted dancing and he got George Jefferson Sherman Hibbli pretending to be Whoopi Goldberg

he let so many N words fly. Yo, it got uncomfortable what do you call a black pilot? An N word. Whoa.

What do you call a black astronaut an N word? You smell the N word and I'm like shit. Yeah, and he was actually pushing the line

and using the word in a really negative context. Now let's give context to this. this thing. It made me feel uncomfortable watching, but the context is Ted Danson, who was dating Whoopi Goldberg,

went to Friars Roast in Blackface. And what Howard was basically saying is, Ted, it is racist what you did. And we're going to show how racist it is by creating the exaggerated version of it. Absolutely. So he basically gets a, he thinks

he can get away with it. No, again, again, he thinks he can get away with it. He could in that era. And in that area, you know how you know he could? They did. He did. Exactly. That's my point.

Have y'all seen the Carlin bit about the M-Wart? Yes. That is... I see Carlin. I seen Lewis E.K. No, no. The Carlin one is the wildest one. And rest of the reason, but he...

I do remember, but I can't remember. I just remember him saying it. He basically says this. He says the point is like, a word by itself is nothing, right? Oh, but when you add up to it... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who is saying the word by itself is nothing, but the racist redneck saying it makes it bad, right?

And he goes, that's why... black people can say the N word, right? Or that's why Richard Pryor and blah, can say the N word, right? Because then he goes, because they're N words. Like they're allowed to because we know that they don't hate other black people.

And that's why I guess it's okay. He's trying to make the point, but he like drops it and. Hardie are. I don't even know. But it's just wild. What was happening at this time, but we're just not asking black people

how they felt about it? Was that real? Like, low key, Low key, because here's the thing. I was thinking about this and I was like, when I was younger in high school, we read Huckleberry Finn. Oh, yeah.

Out loud. Yeah. Every kid of the paragraph. Yeah. A paragraph. And I went to a diverse high school, right? So, like, you're just seeing if your paragraph got an M word. And the teacher basically, the teacher basically said,

yo, if you want to say it, you can say it. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to, right? So these poor Asian kids who, who their first generation, even know what most of the words mean. So they're reading it. They're just sounding shit out like you just reading the Spanish billboard. Bro, I swear to God, I said, no, I swear to God my life.

But I can't say the N words. But, yo, they would literally, and we would calculate it. We'd be like, ooh, ooh, yeah, that's got a bunch of N words right there. That's a paragraph with Jim. Jim saying that shit, right? And then, boom. And then we're calculating. We're counting the people.

Oh, my God. Oh, shit. It's on, it's on Lou or whatever the fuck the guy did. And, bro, he would hit that shit. And you know how they would have the slang M word in it? Yeah. Because it was like a Southern slang. It was almost like he was making porn.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nothing funny on your whole life than that. Nothing funny, a whole like an Asian kid who's never, barely speaks English, just drop in hard end bombs in a class of 30 people. Even the black kids were dying laughing. They're like, this isn't racist. The guy doesn't even know. You know what's dying.

But the era we grew up in, man. It wasn't just the N word though. Yeah. It was the slurs towards women. What is that? The B word, the age. What's the B word? I'm not saying it.

Broccoli. Broccoli. Exactly. These broccoli. You know what I mean? But it was, it was all, like, every slur that was used for anybody. We're not going to equate the B word with the N word, bro. I mean, I still like the B word.

Listen, I'm with you, but I'm not a woman. Say what? I'm not a woman. Yeah. A woman takes the B word the same way we take the N word. No, stop it. It is. It is.

Because girls can say it. I don't call. We can't say it. I don't let no. I don't call my girls like, like, bitch. I don't believe that. No, look, if I do. Let me see your phone.

Let me see your phone. She's definitely calling me. Do you have a fiancé? Do you have a fiance named Lexi? I always say, I always say, I always say girl before I say bitch. Before you said, Chrissy, you believe that. How did I ever call your bitch? Thank you.

Don't drive me. I don't believe that. Why are you never believe that? It's hard. I don't believe it. I don't believe. But if a guy calls in your bitch, he's already getting slapped. Like.

Really? But what if you're describing your bitch? What if he's describing your behavior? Is he acting like that? What if you're acting like that? No, I'm not a female fucking dog. Well, who knows? What if you're at a music festival, there's no place to take a piss.

He's barking? Yeah, shut the way. You can't be, yo, you're pissing like a bitch. You can't say that. You can't say it. That's in context. That's context, right? But you're not going to take it like that.

And same thing with the gay slur. Gay slur, you can't. That hits a gay person in a different way. My point is everybody used to throw their language around. Oh, dude. In the era we grew up in, everybody threw it around. It was out there. Our guy, Neil Brennan said, I was talking to Neil this week.

Neil was like, yo, man, what happens when your F tape drops? Because you were like, if you came up in a certain era, everybody got an F tape. Yeah. I can go to so many rappers and just pull up when they was throwing the F word around. Yeah, the gay sir. Just throwing it around, throwing it around, throwing it around. And by the way, we didn't say it in reference to gay people. Yeah.

You know what I mean? No, no, I'm lying. I said it. But you said it represented each other. Yeah, but you never called a gay person. Say it way, like, yo, you're acting like a B word. Yeah. Like, you're acting like a, you know what I mean?

Like what? I don't know what. I don't know what. Neutral insurance destruction. That's what it is. You know, literally everybody just got to come out and say it all at the same time. Just drop it all on the same. Everybody puts your shit out.

That's it. So let's get it all. Once everybody got nuclear weapons, we stop going to war. You right? Right. Everybody got to drop it. One, two, three. No, you ain't sploo.

Nah, here's the thing, here's the thing, here the thing. What I text you though? No, no, no. You can't text you. Remember when you were told me all the videos of all the people who have said to N-Words? What, what I'd text you? I don't remember.

I said, I'm a hero. Oh, you, this guy still still. I'm a hero. He was like, he said, all these white people would drop in the N-word. He said, and then he goes, I'm a hero. I never dropped it not once. You saw that?

But it's because you grew up in New York. What's that? You grew up in New York and you younger. Yeah. And. y'all are scary. That's how more racist thing is. No, that's not like the truth, though.

That's how more race. Listen, I bet you if somebody... That right there's somebody... I bet you're a white person trying to get away with it. There's levels to this racism, guys. No, you're real shit. You can't stop me now. You got to appreciate the people who actually say it

because them the ones who's showing that they're racist. All the people that's not saying... They really racist. Angela, you asked me a question this week on the breakfast. What does she ask you? What does she say? She said, can you use a slur and not be whatever the slur you use? So if I use a, if I say the N-word, does that make me racist?

If I use a slur towards women, does that make me misogynistic? No. No. And if that's the case, there's so many people that we got to check off, that means that every single person that's ever used the gay slur is homophobic. Even if you're like in your rap, whatever, your comedy, whatever. Any person that's ever used a negative term towards women is homophobic, misogynistic. Anyone who's ever said Or you don't love her

The N-word is racist Like and by the way Man, if you want to go down the list of wife Yeah, let's go down the list Where do you want to start? You want to start with Joe Biden? Joe Biden said the NWRourth? 1985 Senate hearing

He was... I said it to you, 1985 Senate hearing He's quoting, he's quoting somebody What do you say? Why do you keep trying to get away with that shit? I'll let you hear it Just because you quote somebody

You get to get away with it? He's quoting somebody I sent it to tell the tail of it It doesn't even look like Biden by the way. It's 1985. Why, because he was a stunt. I wasn't even worn. Why do y'all have, like, people on age?

Yeah, that's the weirdest thing to me. It does not look like, I don't see. Y'all do that about Eric White's off somebody. That's racist. That's racist because white people age worse. Tell you know how long ago, it doesn't look like that? You said it.

I didn't face it. Well, you even share the fucking cook of butter. Will you even, okay, stop keeping all your products to yourself? Whatever. Were you born in 85? No. Exactly. They were born.

Jesus Christ. You didn't say. So Joe Biden said it in 85. you know, Eminem says it in a freestyle. Justin Beebles said it. But that was wild, Howard Stern and said, Vince McMahon, Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon looked at John Cena and said,

what's up? Then turn the Booker T and his wife. Well. He said, what, eh? But he walked off. No, no, no. The funniest thing is, do you remember when Booker T said it and then caught himself and felt bad?

Booker T said it? Yeah, there's a Booker T. Is he black? Yes, he is black. But he said he was something. something and dropped it? And he was like, you probably didn't want to stay in front

all the white people. I get it. But isn't it funny that Vince McMahon was like, let's write a script for me. He was part of this sketch. How he got less hair? That's him in the back, right?

85, 85, Joe Biden was 57. Oh, dude. That's him in the back? No, that's him right there, man. Is this one right here? I would never know that was hell. You're right.

If you Google Joe Biden, then it'll come up. But who else? I just say. Well, listen, Larry David, you're not going to sit here and tell me you didn't laugh at the curb. enthusiasm stuff.

He said it? What do you mean? Larry David has one of the best sketches when he walks in and he's trying to explain his white friends what somebody said to him and he says it. And when he says it, Vivica Fox walks out the room. And she goes, what the fuck did you just say?

Yada y'all. And him and Vivica and J.B.'s moving all. Yeah, that's it right there. You should put white people inward instead of just Biden. No, that's it right there. No, I'm trying to get to do. Listen. Listen, I'm not, and by the way, I'm not making no excuses for,

As the governor of the court concludes, you never heard this? The governor's opposition to the Nunez plan was predicated in significant part on his delineation of a majority black district centered in Orleans parish. In a confidential portions of your staff, remember they brought to your attention,

the allegation that important legislatures and legislators in defeating the Nunes plan in the basement said, quote, we already have a nigger mayor, we don't need any more nigger big shots. And the court cited evidence of discriminatory intent on the part of other legislators.

of this person who said that. It's quoting. It's quoting. But by the way, I remember during the campaign, people cut that and threw it out into the ecosystem. You know what I mean? Take it out of context. So I'm not making any excuses

for, you know, white people using the N-word. All I'm simply saying is, what are the rules? You know what I mean? There was a time in the 90s. There was a time in even the early 2000s where everybody was getting away. way with saying and doing a lot of wild shit.

Yes. In the sake of comedy, in the sake of music, and the sake of entertainment, because you know better, do better. You know better. Shit changed. Yeah, I hear it changed.

And by the way, that was, that, I would assume that was, that was extremely risky for a white comedian. I would assume only, like, the ones that were really willing to take it there would do stuff like that. One to get punched in the mouth. Same way now, people look at us Dave Chappelle,

and you're like, man, for him to be talking about the LGBTQ community in that way, That's like really edgy in this era. I think it would be the same for how it's term. But if somebody catches me outside, it's up to him. I'm saying just like a white person. If you want to say, if you want to get punched in the mouth, it's all up to you.

In context? Whatever you want to do, it's all depends on who's there. Has a white guy done that to you before? Yeah. Recently. A couple of times. Last year. And I talked to him.

I told him right now, I said, y'all don't say. I say y'all don't say. Who is it? I'm not going to say who it was, but it's one of our partners. He was talking. but he was quoting that's what I'm saying he was quoting something somebody's

he was actually quoting what pops said in the 90s somebody else too another one of the other guys he was quoting what pop said in the 90s in regards to stop and frisk I wasn't playing clothes yeah it's something it was one of them

and he was quoting why if Eric Adams brings it back it won't work this was going to happen because that's how they was looking at it's right and he was he was quoting yo I always tell y'all this story about when we was in West Virginia I got Shane, God bless the dead.

I had that motherfucking ski mask on. And Shane turned around. You appreciate that one. And he was red as fuck and he yelled. He said, Charlemagne, don't go in that goddamn story with that mask on. You're an N-word in West Virginia.

They'll kill you dead. If he would have said it any other way. You probably went my eye, brush it off. Yeah? But I heard the urgency in his voice. That ER struck. And it is, when you say the N-word in this era,

you don't know if somebody really just said the N-words. You're not thinking of it. But when you hear somebody say, you're like, whoa. I see me you going out with this, yeah. And also, I remember another thing, and Duval would tell you this. I remember being in West Virginia in Simpsonville,

with Shane and all his friends. His friends are considered rednecks. And me and Duval using the word. One of the rednecks said, man, I got a friend, man. His name Jermaine, man. You know, he's African-American. wouldn't like that man. I think y'all need to stop using that word. Y'all making me uncomfortable.

Yeah. That's cool. You would have thought he would have been one of the main ones. Like dropping the word. But he's telling me before, I'm like, I respect. I don't like the word. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't, I personally don't like the word. And the reason I don't like the word is because I use it in context. I don't use it as a term of indemnity. Ah, yeah, yeah. I don't, when I used to say, I don't talk to N-words after 5 p. Yeah. And I mean, ignorant people of all races. Yeah. I don't use it out of that. I've never used it. I've never I don't like the word. It's not a term of a dim.

You know what I'm saying? I never use it bad. What do you mean? If I'm going to use something bad, I'm going to come get you. I'm going to fuck you up or I'm going to say something else. Me saying that to a guy, that's really a dude at the end of the day when they come to us. Yeah. It's really nothing.

You know what I do you? But you got to, I don't know. I just think. When am I go? Am I bad at you? I'm going to say that. The fuck I'm saying that for. I just feel like you're nerd.

You're not saying that. It's so easy. I'm going to get mad. You're not going to make me mad off that. As a white dude, it's very easy not to say it. I've never said it. I hang out with you guys all the time. You guys sometimes say it.

I do not say it. It is very easy to not say. So I understand that people say it to be provocative, et cetera. It's, I don't know, maybe since I've had more black friends with, like, seen people say it or they've told me about people saying it or they've told me about people saying it. Maybe it changes things. You ever see somebody get punched in the mouth by saying it? No. Not on video maybe.

What about the word cracker? What's that? Do you offend it? Cracker. No, nobody can't. The way you offend white people, I'll be honest with you, like, because I know that people want to know how to do this. It's the way you offend white people is you inconvenience us. We look at inconvenience as an attack.

This is what Karenism is all about. That's all it is. I mean this here and serious. So like non-white people and also like poor white people don't count in this. Poor white people are inconvenienced all the time. So, like, they're okay with it. Like, trailer park people don't, like, fucking go Karen ever, right? Because they understand, like, fuck.

But middle class to rich white people, and inconvenience to them is an attack. If you're a minority, you get inconvenience all the time. Somebody follows you around a store. You're like, motherfucker. Someone pills you over for no reason. You're like, motherfucker. So you don't caring about things like that because you're used to it.

Rich, especially rich white people. I live in a building who's fucking all these, like, super rich white people, right? And if one thing goes wrong in the building, they fucking lose their mind there's a whole text thread that we're all on which just them complaining they just complain and I watch these people complain oh the elevator button was it wasn't working

what's it wasn't working what's really going on what's that did you know what they used to break papers in college what do you mean? You know Adderalls oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no I could see that and that making them like a little bit more like ornery or whatever but um I think there's one word that pisses white people of what's that racist

yeah if you call me a racist actually call a white person of racist or accuse a white person of racism. Even if they, even if what they did is an extreme act of racism, they will lose their mind. I fucked the black guy before.

What? They say that. By the way, y'all gonna need something else other than my best friends of black. That might be a good one. You know what I mean? And both sexes should use. Yeah.

If you get caught out there doing something racist using them, we're like, I fucked the black guy before. That'll change the conversation. Or I know wax. Okay. Yeah, I can't be racing. We love doing that.

That is a great point. Racism. No, no. But racism, yeah, that is one thing. Because on the radio, mayonnaise pisses people off. It used to be the funniest shit in the world. People would call the front desk and leave all of these complaints about me calling them manning. And I used to describe it.

I'd be like, yo, mayonnaise. You just don't need a lot of it. Too much of it ruins anything. You need just enough to have the best tuna fish. you know, the best potato salad. But it was like, why does he keep referring us as mayonnaise? Like, they would be the funniest shit.

Did you see it now? You see how it look now? Huh? You see how I look now? Uh-uh. Oh, my gosh. You see the things at the office? Oh, yeah, because it's spoiled.

Because I used to always have a jar of mayonnaise in there. And I was, put it slamming on the death. Listen, I totally understand why people don't like me. All right? I never thought about it. You never think about it. It's like, I really used to fuck with people and agitate people.

Still do, but really in a real way. Now, on TV, Cracker does piss people off. My IMDB rating is like one something. And literally every comment is because of the crack. Every single one. I don't think with you it's the word. I think you, it's the generalization. And I think white people don't like unfair when it affects them.

I think white people, we ignore unfair if it puts us at some sort of advantage or puts someone else to a disadvantage. And I think most people do that in general, right? But when we're, but when, for example, you're like decrackification and crack this, whatever, they're going, wait a minute, why is this guy allowed to generalize on all white people? If I was to generalize on black people, I would be called racist. But I don't. I'm very specific. I know you are.

You're white people? Sure. But like what they're viewing is, oh yeah, but if I was to speak about black people, that is unfair. I'm going to point that out. True. That's what you just said. Oh, what Andrew just said is another good point. That's what we don't talk about enough either.

What's that? Sometimes people are just mad about the power that somebody else has. Yeah. Literally. I keep hearing the thing about people like, why this, why does Whoopi get suspended? But, you know, Joe doesn't. It's because Joe's a white man and whoopee's a black woman. Nah, it's because of the companies they work for.

Yeah. To me, that's what I think. Because this ABC is a really no-nonsense company. It's the same company that fired Roseanne Barr, you know, two years ago, right? From the comments she made about, I think it was Michelle Obama or Valerie Jarrett or something like that. Right. a different type of medium. They're a different type of entity.

If Spotify gets in the censorship business, how much music do they got to remove? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Forget the voices. How much music would they have to remove? I think it was Spotify who tried to do that with, did they try to make a stand against X,

X, X, X, X, X, X, X, Tantacian or somebody, and it kind of, like, backfired against them. It's just like, yo, these companies like that cannot get into the censorship business. But it's not like you're not like still costing them, because they said they're going to give up $100 million. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Also, the views show is about censorship, right? It's like every day these four women are just yapping about how people should get canceled because they said something wrong. One of them said something wrong. And it's like, yo, that's your bed lying it. You can't go on there every single day talk about how these people need to get out of here. You can't act like this.

And then you say some wild shit. And low key, she said some wild shit, right? It's like what you say, like the Holocaust wasn't about Jews. It was about people. It wasn't about race. It wasn't about people. That's just historically inaccurate. And I've been trying to explain to people.

That's like, like, like, people saying, like, 9-11 was an attack on New York. It was attack on America? It was like, it? Kind of seemed like an attack on New York, fam. What you just said is the, no, what you just said is perfect. Yeah. Because what she said is wrong, right? The Holocaust was absolutely about race.

But then she goes into the whole, you know, if we were just people. If we were just better people, if people had more humanity, things like this wouldn't happen. Sure. Hold on. She got suspended for that. Wait, wait, wait. Hush. Hush.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they don't even, don't even, they let it. But I would think with black people, though, a lot of black people, including me. When I think of race, I literally think of just black and white. I'm not thinking that's going into. That's ridiculous. But why? That's what we're tall in the race. No one.

What are you, Christy? Exactly. As a black woman, how can you not see somebody? As much as you all complain about not being seen. I look at Spanish people as much as we are. That's not true, though. So, look, I'm just. I know she is, but I'm saying she also among,

that's a racial. No, she's among minority, though, right? She's still Spanish. So Taylor, this is important. This is important. Let me explain real quick. I know this sounds ridiculous. It sounds all like fucking weight.

Taylor doesn't do good with races, though. Keep that in mind. I know, I know. But here's the thing. I know it sounds ridiculous and fucking woke and whatever, but just trust me. But I'm saying it's ignorant of me. No, no, I know. Let me just say one thing.

That's just in this. Race, we know now is made up. Race, we know now is defined race. There's no genetic characteristics that defined race. It's a social construct. It is, it is. I can't believe us in a brilliant idiot. Use the woke language.

It's a social country. It literally. It literally. a guy in Sweden has just as much in common with a guy in Ethiopia genetically, right? Actually, maybe more in common than that Ethiopian has with a guy from Camero. Right? They've done these studies. It's crazy. So there's

no actual genetic distinction. But once you start the slippery slope of like we've created races, it's not really up to us to stop it. For example, a Spanish person can look whiter than me, blonde hair, blue eyes. And I'm sure you have maybe, I don't know, a part

of Puerto Rican or something like that, Dominican. So I'm sure you've met a Dominican. So I'm sure you've met a Dominican has got fucking blue eyes, blonde in the air. Right? Careful now. Everybody, calm down. Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. I'm getting married. What? I'm getting married. Okay, good, good, good, good, good. Good, good, good, good. One last hurrah. But, like, you've seen all different, quote-unquote,

races of Dominicans, like we've all seen, you've seen Dominicans that are black. Yeah. And then you've seen Dominicans that look white. But we go, Spanish is a race, right? now also like go. Come on the mic. Come on to Mike. Come on to Mike, Christy. Come on, come on, come on. There you go. Hola.

Stop. Go, go, go. I don't be Spanish as a race only because I feel like when you have to choose a race, Hispanic is not an option. But you're Dominican. Dominican's a race, right? Yes, but it's a whole other question and I actually get offended.

I got a friend another day. I just had a daughter five months ago and I have to fill out her passport application. And for race, I couldn't put that she was Hispanic. Really? Why, though? You cannot. It's not an option. It's African American. There's Caucasian.

There's hope. And then there's other. So I always put other. But it bothers me because I'm like, I couldn't even put them. My daughter's Hispanic. I thought Hispanic was on there. No. Why did they do that?

They used to do Hispanic and then. Non-Hispanic. Then it used to be Hispanic white and then like non-white. So what is Spanish? So you put other? I put other. Spanish on there? And then you got to fill it in.

No. And I actually, I don't even put Hispanic. I put Dominican. Yeah. But so here's a perfect example. Like we look at Asian as a race, right? But now you also have like Indians. Indians aren't black.

They aren't white, right? They aren't Asian. They're kind of their own people. So you go, okay, here's your own people. Mexicans are different than Dominicans, right? You're like, oh, they're kind of their own race. Native Americans were like, oh, I guess they're their own race. What is Akash is Indian.

Okay. So Desi, they would call themselves like Desi people, Pakistani, Indians. And then Arabs, right? You look at people in the Middle East. You're like, oh, they're their own thing as well. Once we start inventing all these groups and all these like archetypes of people, I don't think that we can close the door if Jews one identifies their race. But Jews just like Spanish people have a bunch of different quote unquote races within their race.

My buddy Dove, you guys have all met Dove, is from Africa. He's Moroccan, right? But if you look at Jews that maybe Whoopi Goldberg is talking about, the Jews that were in Germany at the time, you're like, yo, they look whiter than Schultz. You're right, but the problem with what Whoopi Goldberg said is there is historical context to it. You cannot say the Holocaust was not about race, regardless of how you viewed him, when the reality is Adolf Hitler literally was killing them because he thought they were an inferior race.

It was his words. Yes. Yes. Yes. And by the way, it's not your place to say if she said anything bad because you're not Jewish. I know, but I'm not, I don't think she was trying to erase the Jewish, like. She did. Even though she may not admit she did.

That's what I'm saying. Before we had this conversation, tell me what year World War II. started. If you don't know, we're not having a conversation. I'm not having a conversation. Exactly. It's like, everybody got a fucking point of view and they don't know shit. I was just like done. I can't tell you shit. I just found out what I was more. That's real though. I just hope we get back to a moment. And this is why I hope and I told Andrew this this week. I said, I really feel like this

situation might cancel cancel coach, Joe Rogan's situation. Bro. Yeah. And the reason I said that is because I think for everybody got to step back and realize we all got some shit with us. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And I think that we all have to get to a point where we understand context matters and tension matters. Timing matters.

Timing might be the most important one. Like, yo, we got three people performing at the Super Bowl this weekend. Mm-hmm. That have all dropped hard, hard, F-bombs. Hard. Listen, do you understand? Do you understand? Why this is the first time this is happening?

Talk to me. Because 25, 30 years ago, it would be unheard of. And on social media, though. It would be unheard of. So the fact that this weekend, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Eminem are getting a chance to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. I'm waiting on the backlash. Kendrick Lamar.

No, Kendrick is good. Trust me. Kendrick is a choir boy. But who is these people? Who's the people that's mad? I don't, we never know who these people are. That's what I'm going to say fuck they. Hey, you say fuck day until they put that compilation video together.

Don't be talking about everybody. I don't like that. Yeah. And also the moral of the story is there's definitely a price to everything that comes out of your mouth. I keep trying to tell you all you. And we ideally will continue to lower the price. No. Well, once it's mutually assured destruction, right?

Like, and again, I don't know, I operate in a different field, right? I'm a comedian. So everything that I say. including and usually the most offensive things, the intent is laughter. Like, I'm like, how can I, you know, walk this fine line and say this thing that's kind of fucked up.

Joe is a comedian. Exactly. And that's why I judge Joe as a comedian, right? I judge him as a comedian in broadcasting. Yeah. Which is a very interesting combination. And that's tough. And you fall in that line as well. And I know you don't identify as a comedian,

but us comedians often identify you as a. There we go. No, no, no. For real. No, for real. Like, because I think that's one of the things that always got you in trouble initially is that I think you had a lot of respect for stand-ups. You're like, I'm not a comedian.

I'll tell jokes. I tell the truth, right? Oh, yeah. But you, right? Great branding at the time, though. Great branding at the time. But as a comedian, I'm watching, I'm like, these are jokes. I know what a joke is because I do jokes for a living, right?

And I always wonder, I'm like, man, I wonder if he was like, yo, I tell jokes. This is what I do. I joke around if these things would be taken way less literally. You absolutely right. No. Because that's what I would always say. Nobody liked to get cracked on still. We could have, but at least in my community of comedians, that's how we view you.

It was the people I was cracking on, though. Yeah, I was cracking on people who don't want to play. Who ain't playing? We love them. We ain't playing. That's the most funny. That's the most funny. That's the thing, like, and that's the thing about comedy.

Like, you could be, like, the whitest, like, nerdyest comedian, but they knew who you were. And that's how I knew you were transcending, like, not just, like, hip-hop culture or even mainstream culture. Like, that's how I knew, like, you were getting into, like, comedy culture. because we're just finding what's funny. If you like funny things, if you're a comedian, you just value funny, whether it's some lady falling down, you know what I mean?

Or it's somebody like being hilarious on a radio show. So we were watching this for comedy purposes, and when we saw people taking it seriously, it was like, oh, yeah. Man, you know who treats me like that now? You know who treats me like the hip-hop communities to treat me? Politicians. They're the ones that's hitting my line, man.

Really? Yes, they're the ones that's upset. Because you stay exposing them, bro. It's so interesting. Like, even this morning, I'm getting texts about such and such I'd like to talk to you about the misinformation about Joe Biden and the crack pipes.

I'm like, I haven't said anything about it. So it's almost like it's a preemptive strike. Right? You know what I'm saying? It's almost like, I'm like, I haven't said, and I haven't said anything. We got to talk about them crackpipes. Listen, I read, listen.

Unbelievable. Here's the thing. We give them our condoms, though. You know what? Let's pay the bill. Let's pay some bill. Let's pay the bills if we come back and talk about it. Wow, what's up?

Okay, fine. Yeah, let's pay the bills and come back and talk about it. This episode is brought to you by crystalline crack pipes. Actually, it's brought to you by BET's Real Husbands of Hollywood.

summer of 85, man, this is a story I didn't even know about until Chris started talking about it. But it took place in Philadelphia in the summer of 85, and it was the live aid benefit. It's the true story of the, just juxtaposition of two actual events that took place in Philly that year. The live aid benefit for Africa and the bombing of move.

No move. They were a group of black citizens attempting to create an African-style community. And yeah, it was created and co-produced by our guy Chris Monroe. So it talks about all those events. A lot of great Philadelphia legends are on that. Unleash for Love. That's a scripted comedy series starring my good sister, Alicia Renee. Y'all know I love Leash, man.

I love Leach so much. Lisa has been working on this project for like seven years. Her and Serita, you know, so that's something that's coming later this year. And broke down profits, a scripted thriller created and written by bestselling author, Sean Crosby. Okay, he wrote Black Top Wasteland, Rays of Blade Tiers. Those are all number one New York Times bestsellers. So, yeah, just look out for everything we're putting out on SBAH productions this year via Audible, man. And can I say for the Black Effect Hacks, please just just.

Just send me your name and address. I don't need no one asking me, hey, can I get a black? I'm not going to answer. Just send the address of the name. That's it. Just send the address and name. Hold on.

Let me make sure I said, um, Serita's name, right? Because I'll be mispronouncing people's names. Serita, yes, Sarita. Because, you know, people want their credit,

as you can see with Taylor sitting to my left. People want the, want their flowers. And they deserve all creators, deserve their motherfucking flowers. Okay? We are nothing. without the creators.

Now, let's talk about, what was we going to talk about? What do we say you wanted to talk about? The crack pipes. Oh, yes. What do y'all think that was? What do you think that was? I looked it up.

And basically they're saying that using these like old crack pipes can cause a lot of like huts and infection. It's part of the harm reduction program. Right. Yes. So. Everybody got played a part.

They're also, I imagine doing other things outside of crack pipes. Right. I imagine maybe the new needle. Oh, no, that's the other thing. They're hoping that by using crack pipes, they don't use needles. And needles is what spreads disease even quicker. The purpose of the program is to support community-based overdose prevention programs, syringe service programs, and other harm reduction services.

That's what the grant says. Funding will be used to enhance overdose and other types of prevention activities to help control the spread of infectious diseases and the consequences of such diseases for individuals with are at risk of developing substance use disorders and it specifically outlines syringes in safe smoking kit's

supplies as an approved use as of as an approved use of federal funds. Right. Here's my problem with Democrats. Okay. Why do they get mad at us because their messaging is terrible? Like they're acting like

that language is not in there. I think that Snopes.com said it the best when they fact-checked. They said that the story of the Biden administration spending $30 million on cracks pipes is mostly false, which is true. That is true. It's mostly false, right? But it is true that the grant description required the provision of smoking kits and established component of harm reduction strategy. But in reality, those kits constituted just one of several sub-components of an even longer list of requirements of an even longer list of requirements. requirements for grant recipients.

In other words, while outraged media coverage focused almost exclusively on crack pipes, this was actually only a very small part of the program. So why are they mad at us because that language is in this grant? Yeah. That's not our fault. Yeah. That's easily can be taken out of context. Yeah.

There is nuance to it. It's not a $30 billion program for crack pipes. But there's a few million for crack pipes. Yeah. Right? Do you rather crack pipes, though? I'd rather get them crack pipes because the needles is really out of control. Yeah, maybe that's it.

I just wonder, like, if you would judge, like, if you were a crackhead and you saw someone using, like, a government-issued crack pipe, if you would judge them for that. No. They're like getting weed from dispensary. I could tell the dispensary back from somebody back in the street. Ah, I see. I'm looking at it as, like, you know, we all know that in every household they're telling their kids, do not have sex, do not have sex.

Then you go to the school and they get on a bunch of condoms. I think this is the same thing. Yeah, but those columns are trash. I remember New York was giving out them condoms. You remember the NYC subway condoms? Those condoms. It's tuxedos. Too small?

They tuxedo cards. But I think that's the exact same thing what they're doing with these crackpikes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It is the problem with all of this, right? Yeah. Number one, if this administration had done what they said they were going to do for black people, like past voting rights, like past, let's just say past voting rights and past the George Floyd policing act.

Yeah. Those are two tangible things that people can look at and say, oh, you know what? that's going to impact black people. But when you have an administration that hasn't done what they said they're going to do for black people, and then this comes out. And you read that the grant serves

historically underserved communities, which means we know that's black, right? And the underserved community part comes from the advanced racial equity funding. So when you read, when you can put two and two together and be like, wait a minute, y'all giving out syringes

and smoking kits under something that's part of an advanced racial equity funding is so easy for somebody to take all of that messaging and mix it up and put it out there and make it seem like they're giving out crack pipes as part of a racial equity funding. But whose fault is that? Yeah.

That's whoever wrote this shit and put it out. Don't even, yeah, don't even mention crack pipes. Just like, hey, we're trying to make it safer for addicts. That's all you have to do. They call it smoking kit supplies. Don't even say anything about it. We're trying to make things safer for addicts. And then just put that up.

Dude, my fear is that, like, a lot of this, a lot of this distraction is wrapped up into the Dems knowing that they're going to lose the midterms. And I think part of that is like the Rogan hit piece is baked into that as well. I just think that they haven't done anything. They haven't delivered on any of their promises. So the best that they can do right now is just distract. You do other things to be upset about so we can't look at them and go, hey, why didn't you pass the George Floyd Act? Why didn't you do the, what is the other one you were saying, black voting? I mean, voting rights.

For the voting thing, yeah. You talk about them losing the mid. Yeah. Y'all aren't even doing anything to protect our voting rights. The problem that we have, I think, as just like people in general, is we think that politicians will do anything for us. I don't think politicians will do anything for us besides take more of our money. That's the only thing that I think that they're good for is just how can they find more

ways where we can give them money that they can then waste. We have to take care of ourselves. And by that, I mean literally organize. If we're poor, we have to organize so many people that we combined are rich. and that's essentially what unions are, right? Like a union has a lot of power because it's a bunch of poor people together going, yo, you think you have all the powers of billionaire?

Well, all of us together, we're worth a billion. Now we can play a ball. Or we got to get rich people to side with our problems and then the rich people put pressure on the powers of B, et cetera, do it. But politicians will do nothing for us. We do the thing, and then they accommodate that thing because they want to win us over.

You think we can push them? I think we can push them. Yeah, I think money pushes them. It's not even push them. It's like we have to show them that this is what we want. And if they don't give it to us, we'll go to someone else. And that's always going to be the biggest issue for black people is that like if you guys vote Republican, if black people vote a Republican once, you'd have whatever you want every election. Because both sides would be fighting for it, right?

But the fact that Democrats know all they have to do is go, yo, you're a sellout. I mean, Biden literally said to you, hey, what do you mean? You won't vote for me? What are you a sellout? That's right. That's right. So it's like black people are so terrified to vote Republican because they feel like the whole community. Oh, you're going to support those racist motherfuckers.

And low key, that's also on conservatives for allowing themselves to be placed and made to look so radioactive. And there's a lot of rhetoric that they let be out there that is radioactive. So it's like you got to fight that tooth and nail as well because, and again, I'm not black so I don't know. But from talking to a lot of my black friends, it's like, black people are ready. They're ready for another opportunity. They're ready for another option. Let's say that. Yeah, say that.

They're not ready to vote conservative. They're ready for another option. They're just ready for another option. So it's like, yo, come, come show me something, bro. I think, you know what? You're absolutely right. And I also think I see a lot of progressive white people like that, too, though. A lot of progressive white people are like, that's why the Bernie Sanders of the world, you know what I mean?

White people are done with these Democrats. Let me just tell you, sir. White people are doing, if you're a white person that hasn't, like, died your hair pink, If you have your regular fucking hair color and you're a white person you're done with these fucking Democrats

you're just done with it You want something more progressive Ooh that's interesting Make that argument I just think you want something more progressive I think that's why Bernie Sanders of the world was popular Hey yo I'm gonna be honest with you

It's well no It's not mind boggling to me In a perfect world The last two presidential elections Another person could have snuck in And won this shit But you know the way the game is structured It's either gonna be

A Democrat or Republican You don't stand a chance So they just put the bums in there that they can control. Like there's not even that good. Like, you know, Pete Buttigieg or whatever like that. It's like he's just someone that can be controlled. I like Pete. Yeah, we like Pete.

And like, we're like, oh, I guess this is a progressive. This is a good guy, et cetera. We don't know anything about his foreign policy. We know nothing about Pete. And granted, we don't know nothing about most politicians. That's fine. But what I'm saying is they don't give us the best options, right? I mean, like, and then when an option that's interesting to us comes along,

they do everything they can to squash him. Please believe Republicans did not want Trump. because they knew that they weren't going to be able to control that motherfucker. And they did everything. The horse in their lead. Hey. And now, yo,

that's the problem with Bernie. He wasn't as good. Now, also the Democratic system is built to, like, control who is becoming president with the caucuses and shit, and they stole it from Bernie. But he also wasn't so good that he could beat the system that's in place.

And a lot of us wish that he would because I'd rather that. Even if he did nothing, shake some fucking shit up, yo. I'll be honest with you. You know, I think we dropped the ball? Hillary, man.

Hillary, what? Hillary should have been president. Oh, God. I think Hillary would have been a good president. Oh, God. Why? I mean, better than what we got going on now.

Why? I think she'd have been, I think she'd have been a good president. If Hillary's president were, we'd be at war with 10 different countries already right now. Well, that's coming. Yeah. Under whose administration, keep it a buck. Under whose administration, we're going to go to war. Yeah, but you know what?

These Democrats talk all this shit all the time. Oh, those right-wing people are war mongers, et cetera. Hey, man. I think, I think Russia. Russia and China smell fear. And if this was the 90s, I would have let another word fly just now.

You didn't have a dope freestyle about it. All right. But I'm telling you, Russia and China right now, they smell fear, and they are ready to exploit the weakness of America. Well, did they go first? We need to get our swagger back, man.

Do they go to New York first? When you got Bishop, TDJ, because I remember, I posted this last week, I was just like, yo, we're not paying attention, right? And I was talking about the, you know, Russian and China lines

and just even looking at what's going on in the Ukraine. Like, you hear people like, oh, Putin's bluffing. Eh, 100,000 troops at the border, bro. Somebody might need to take that a little bit more serious, right? And so I'm posting, we're not paying attention.

I'm watching Bishop T.D. Jakes on Sunday. He gave a sermon called, We need an epiphany. And Bishop T.D. Jakes literally started off by saying how we're not paying attention and we need an epiphany. And then he went into, we're on the brink of, he said God told him.

We're on the brink of World War III. And he starts talking about Russia and China. And he was like, y'all worried about bombs. He's like, ain't going to be no bombs. This shit is going to be fought on the internet. And we're already seeing that, the disinformation. Chris, please jump in right now because Chris be following all of this shit in a real way. And he put me on to something.

Chris, I don't know if you want to talk about it, though. I mean, you said it. I mean, I think, you know, we're talking about the Russians invading Ukraine. the Russians have already invaded the U.S. They just do it through social media. You know, the wars of the future aren't bombs and tanks. It's social media attacks, and we got to address that. That shit you talked about when you said, uh...

TikTok. Yeah, but remember you talking about Portnoy and whatever they was on there with a company that did whatever? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, that shit is real, and you can trace this shit back, and a lot of these bots come back from Russia. I've seen it myself with my own eyes. Like, nobody benefits more about, like, us destroying each other

than China or Russia. That's right. They don't fight each other so that we don't fight them. I mean, that's why I think America needs a real pride movement. Like, and I think what happened is like, we had a moment looking in the mirror

and nobody likes what they see in the mirror, right? Because the reflection, it forces you to look at all the horrible things that you've done, right? Yeah. And I think that what we need to do is kind of restructure American pride. Like, I love America, man. Can you have American pride

if all of us don't have it? Yo, and here's the thing. I think that American pride, the way that we have American pride, And this is one of my biggest frustrations with the left and the right is the extreme left on the right have stolen everything I love about America for me, right? They bastard. So like the left, the left has stolen tolerance.

Like I was so proud, like growing up in New York and I have all these different friends from all these different walks of life and we all fucking tease each other bust balls, but like have respect for each other's cultures and like value it and get to like tap into all these different experiences. It was so dope. Like I didn't even know other countries had like non-white people until like recently. Me neither. You know what I mean? Like I was like, no, that's just us and we, this is it. And I love that. And then the left went so extreme, handering with their like, wokeness that it's like, now you make tolerance corny. And then the right goes so extreme with the other things I love about America, which is like freedom of speech and like freedom of speech and it's like they went so extreme with that shit. It's like anytime I hear some dude say freedom of speech, I'm like, what do you want to say really? Like you went so fucking crazy with it that I can't even. tell you how important it is with me. So y'all have stolen the things I love

about America so much. I wonder if, because you know, I was thinking about this, when I said what I said about Hillary, the reason I said that is that I feel like Hillary would have kept things in the middle, right? Because she's a centrist. Barack Obama was a centrist, right? Rock was just a great, he was just a great politician

and like just such like an engaging, likeable, smart person. How do you feel, I want to ask you, how do you feel America was under Barack? I can't say from a conservative side, but like I I really enjoyed Barack, you know, as a president because I just thought he was like a great ambassador for America. And like that's what I think America's about. Like the guy was just cool.

Like I looked at the president. I was like, ah, I really liked that that guy as our president. I like, like, I feel like if he sat down with any world leader, he could outsmart him. And I like that. You know, like Hillary would just fall apart, just crumble. Like, just stinks. I'm glad. Trump bodied her, bro.

He did. I'm glad you said that, though. And the reason I'm glad you said that is because I don't think you can ever truly represent all of the different groups in America if you're part of any one party. I think in order for, in order for to get what you're saying we need, which is American pride, it has to be other options that aren't Democrat

or Republicans, aren't anything. It's like, you got to be like a, I don't know, centrist party. It's got to be somebody that's willing to listen to everyone and what everything's saying, everybody's saying, and be willing to like compromise with everybody in a way. Well, here's the thing about, like what you said was really interesting about

about like even bringing up Barack what I thought he did such a great job is like I think that the most amazing thing about America and I think Barack's a perfect example of this but I think the most amazing thing about America is and I think it's very important when we create this American pride movement that minorities

are included in it and they get to take pride in America too because that's one of the saddest things that that I always hear it's like when I talk to my friends that aren't white and they're like do you love America? Some of them love America. And then some are like, Michael Che has this great joke about it. He's like, black people are specific about our love.

They're like, I don't know if I love America. I love Brooklyn. Yeah, because we don't have, we still have yet to feel like we get all the civil liberties and civil rights that this country says it gives America. So it's like we've been wrapping up what's great about America in these things that these groups have felt disenfranchised from, right? So of course they're not going to have their pride.

If I feel freedom, it's like, well, I don't feel free. And America would have to write some wrong. reparations would be a great step towards that. So what I think we need to do is wrap American pride into the thing that we all feel proud of. And I don't know if you guys feel proud about this, but like I do as a son of an immigrant, I definitely feel this way.

But like America in the world is the place where you can become the greatest version of yourself and I don't care who you are or what you look like. The greatest version of you, Charlemagne the God, can only be Charlemagne the God in America. I don't know if Charlemagne the God can be Charlemagne the God in London. And now I'm not taking anything away from you,

but I'm giving some credit to fucking America. Like what you, Lil Duval, Andrew Schultz, you know what I mean, wax, like everybody in this room can be the greatest for our star-science.

Are we being in jail? And the brightest. Say, we'll talk. Like, I won't be able to. We get to criticize our leaders. Fuck that.

You know what I mean? These jokes ain't flying everywhere, bro. So it's like, I look at that in American, I look at like what all my friends, like these creatives and entrepreneurs, my own parents,

like my mom. came from, you know, a place where she didn't think that her star could shine is bright and then came here and did all these amazing things, right? It's like my dad literally walked into a fucking news station and this is a different time, but walking news stations like asking for a job and then ended up being a fucking reporter and then like produced news. Like these things happen here. Your fucking star shines bright and like that's the pride movement. I want everybody to take part of. I want all these people who are like, yo, I came from nothing and I became this amazing businessman, entertainer, fucking musician, athlete, whatever. Like I want those stories. That is

America to me and that's what America's always been. But no, you know who fucked that up? Who? White supremacists. Yeah. Racist and biggest fucked that up because that is the America we should live in. That's the dream. That's the American dream. But that's not the America we live in. Yes. After a man... We're living in it right now. I'm sitting next to it. But that's what I'm saying? After

emancipation, it should have been that. It should have been like, and after 9-11, it felt like New York was together. Like literally. Like, everybody was together in New York. Like, we knew like, man, there's something out here that bigger than us that wants all of us going. on, whatever, whatever.

After emancipation, it should have been that way. Like, when you look at, and this is the chicken and watermelon stereotype, when you look at these people who started black people after they were enslaved, started growing watermelon and, you know, gaining financial freedom by selling watermelon. Like, that should have been applauded. But you literally had racist bigots who saw them happy that they were free and happy that they were making money and started bastardizing the watermelon and calling them watermelon pickers and everything else. that should have been applauded.

You know what I mean? And that's why I want people to identify the American dream as a pride source for us, because I hope that you'll see instead of like the redneck guy going, oh, these Mexicans or whatever, staling all our jobs, whatever. Like, Loki, I hope that they see an immigrant who has come here. And I don't want people to just come here illegally. I think there should be a legal way to do it, right? I'm not just for like, yeah, let anybody come in.

Like we have to have fucking rules and shit too, right? If you value something, you value your country. You're not going to just like any old person walk in whenever you want. By the way, which both parties agree on. But I want this to be the place for immigrants. I still want this to be like, yo, you want to run it up? You want to be the best version of yourself. Yo, come bring it because that's what we're about.

And then I want Americans. Like I want that fucking redneck dude to see that Mexican guy who came here legally, but he came here and started his own business and have his fucking restaurant. I want him to look at that and be like, yo, that's fire. because you could only do that here. And we built something where you could do that and then take personal pride in everybody's ability to reach their highest goals here.

I agree with everything that's just saying. I think that the problem is the fact that, man, everybody can't get money. And not everybody's going to. But that's the problem, right? If you're a white guy who's been here and this country has always told you white people get ahead, and you watch somebody from another country

or you watch a black person or Latino person, you'd be like, man, fuck them. Yeah. Like, I should be on, like literally that's what it is. it all boils down to jealousy. It boils down to envy. It boils down to hate. That's why Europe is socialist.

Is these people have been living there for so long, they're like, you, I don't want to hustle no more. I just want a job that I know is going to pay me enough to live, and I want some health care. So I'll be safe in case I get sick. And I want to be taking care of when I'm old. I'm tired of this hustle. Wow.

But America, we're young still, right? We're like 400 fucking years old, right? So everybody that comes here is on their grind, right? They're basically, America's like moving in New York. everybody who comes to America is like I'm gonna work 80 hours a week and I'm gonna get myself out of fucking poverty and I'm gonna go.

But then you got generations of people who have been here for a while and they're like yo, my family did all that work shit. I just want a job I could trust. I want a pension and I want my fucking health care and I want to chill with my family and that's okay too. And we might evolve one day

into a more socialist system that will basically restrict how high we go on the top but how low we go on the bottom. You think? I don't think but that's why I don't work hard though. But that's why we work hard though. I hope I wish.

I really have to. I mean, that's what I hope we continue to instill. Like, I hope every generation of American grows up going, nah, this is still the Hust Olympics. Like, you've got to go out there and you got to grind. You can't get a kid's no more. You can't be giving us so much. We got so much.

We got social media. We got cash app. You know what I'm saying? So much shit. But you can assure our destruction. Nah, not necessarily. Well, social media might, but like, what I'm saying is we still invent everything. We still make all the cool shit.

Like, nothing cool coming out of fucking China. China just takes whatever. shit is deconstructs it, copies it, and makes it. That's a lie. Say what? China making everything. After we make it, we just say, go make it. I don't know about that one. Name one thing, listen, TikTok, you don't think TikTok is just another version of social

media app we made? All this shit, China, bro. Yeah. We design it, we innovate, then we say you put it together. Name one thing that they made. Everything. Everything. Bam, there's a difference between sewing and designing. We design. I'm like here. Here is China.

That was made clear. China. China. I think all of that, everything you're saying sounds like a dream. We are in the dream, bro. And that's what it's called, yeah. And I want people to embrace the American dream, man. It's, like, really important to me. And maybe I'm lucky because I saw my mom go through it, right?

Like, I saw her come here and see this opportunity and then seize it and fucking run with it. And you guys have done this. Like, it's insane what we've all done. Like, if you really sit down here and go, what the fuck is going on? Truth be told, though, and people always say this argument and you know, they'd be like, oh, but you're not the, you're the exception, not the rule. That's true for all of us. It's the 1% for it.

Look at yourself as the exception. Every morning you are the fucking exception. That's right. Black people are the exception. You're all the exception. If you're super rich and wealthy in this country, you're the exception. There's way more people doing bad than it is doing good.

And it should not be that way. With this many resource. And that is frustrating. Don't get me wrong. And like you see this immense wealth. You see these billionaires that are going to the moon and then the people live in tents. And you're like,

Did we need to go to the moon? Or should we figure out this whole tense situation? And that's 100% right. And low-key, maybe if we had a little bit more pride in America, I think like when you think America is shit and you see people living in tents, you go, well, yeah, we're shit. They should live in tents.

But when you fucking have pride, when you really believe in your country, you care. You go, ain't no fucking American living in a goddamn tent. Okay? Not while I'm alive. Especially if they're poor for us. Especially, right?

You're like, this is wrong. Hey, you know what, though, to your point about pride, that kind of goes back to what Whoopi was saying about humanity. If all of us were just good humans. You don't even have to have American pride if you really just care about your fellow man. Let's start at American.

Let's start an American. But you're right, though, one nation should change everything. That's it. We did change everything. I'm hearing about what's going on in Singapore. I'm like, I got to go see Singapore. There we go. People talking about Singapore. Like, it's Wakanda. It is Asian Wakanda. That's what I'm hearing. I want to go visit.

People like, I want to go see what's popping in Singapore. It's fascinating. Have you been yet? Yeah. Yeah. Where did you go? Aracchus and I went there. We went to Malaysia and Singapore.

I'm a little bit. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, yeah. What did they do? We went, uh, I mean, this is, uh, yeah, a few years back, but it was, it was interesting experience. It's like an Apple store. Like the place.

That's what they said the whole place. They said it's even under a dome. There's different parts. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, it's just a fascinating place. But like, for me, I like Malaysia a little bit more. I'm built for. She used to dance in Houston, right?

What? What? The country Malaysia. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where she got her hair from. No, but like I like the third world a little bit more. Like, I don't know. Like my energy is built for that.

Like, and I think that's what America kind of has. Like America is the first world. It's got the security and safety, but it's still got like the scammers, the hustlers. Like, think about a crazy. the idea you can make it happen here. Whereas, like, you look at, like, parts of Europe and, like, Singapore and that kind of shit, like, where they have a little bit more structured society, it's hard to break the rules. There's a lot more, like, red tape and, like, bureaucracy that you've got to deal with.

Whereas in America, it's just, like, ain't no rule yet. Like, right? Like, how many fucking, how many, like, random, like, exercise powders and shit do they sell? And they're, like, not FDA approved yet. And it's like, how the fuck are you selling it? Yeah. You're trying it out. You elaborate.

Literally. And I kind of like that environment. So I preferred Malaysia to Singapore. But, but yeah, check it out. A lot of technology over there. Yeah, it's just like, it's a nation state. So it's very small, small amount of people and they can control everything. And they have like, you know, it's one party.

And it's basically a benevolent dictatorship. So like what happens if you had a dictator? But they tried to make a society that was really good for the people instead of just being insane assholes. What if you had that? What if you had? I wish that was how it works. What if in America there was one person?

And we knew he was. person, this woman, man, was a great human. Yeah. He was a great human. He cared about all, about everybody. I don't know, that was Obama. I'll tell you. Would you let, would you let, would you let that person just run everything? I'll tell you why that usually doesn't happen. Because the disposition in a human being to crave power is usually the not, not matched

with the disposition in a human being to be benevolent or kind. Yeah. Like wanting power at all costs means that you don't actually care about. all those others. Like, and that's what's so rare, to be honest, and I put you in this category, like Joe in this category. It's like, you guys are people that want, I don't know, I don't want to say want success, but you guys are people who are immensely successful, but you still want to see other people shine. And that's the way, son, that's, this is very rare, dude. This is very rare that people want to be successful and great and then want to see other people

be great. That, that usually does not happen. And that's why you have so. many people they're in those positions. They're just kind of selfish and like belittle other people. They become the old hater archetype, right? Like they're not ready to see the next generation thrive. You know what I mean? Like, you look at a lot of people that I tell people I was trying, like,

first time I saw Duda's Some Mero outside. Twitter was on a Charlotte Man's show. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Like me, you threw a lot of alley-ups. Like, Charlotte's footprint on the people who are impactful in the game right now is hard to deny. And the same thing with Joe. Like, you can't look at motherfuckers

succeeding in stand-up right now. So it's like you guys have, you guys have incredible drive for success, but you also have a lot of joy and seeing people win? That's rare, bro. I love it. I like throwing more assistance than I do score.

But you know that there are people hating on you and a come up. Why? They could have just thrown that lob. They could have been part of your success, right? They could have done songs with you. One thing that Drake does so well is that motherfucker does songs

with all these new people that we don't even know about just yet. So he throws them into Al U. and then they all grow together instead of just being like, man, this new artist is trash, fuck all this. Why we got to do it like that? I'm just still having fun.

Let's get back to the show. Let's do some asking idiots, Taylor. Hold on, did you go over Euphoria and Zendaya? I mean, Zendaya's amazing. Zendaya's incredible. Zendaya should motherfucking win every goddamn award. they give out for acting. And Zendaya is a great role model

for young black women. My daughter's 13 years old. My daughter literally, yesterday, literally said to me, you know you should interview. I said who? She said Zendaya. Wow.

And I started to say, no shit, squirt. But I was like, I said, yeah, that would be a good interview. And she was like, and when you do, I want to meet her. She's never said that to me about anybody. Now, explain, like, the cultural effect of euphoria because I hear everybody talking about it,

It seems to be crossing through all cultures. A little bit younger generation is into it, but it feels like their show. I mean, it's giving us the classic things that we all love. It's drugs. Okay. It's sex. Yes.

And it's violence. That's America. At least we've got someone to be proud of. So I'm just saying it's giving us everything that we love. It's giving us sex. It's giving us drugs. It's giving us motherfucking violence. Our high schools are so lit.

Like, dude, high school everywhere else is so boring, huh? Yes. I don't know one, like, high school show from France or some other fucking place. American high school, dude. Yeah. And I said this, I was saying this. I said, yo, man, this show is giving us all of this, but is giving it to us with a message.

That's what we love. We love edginess with a motherfucking message. If you're edgy and you're entertaining us and you're giving a message, you'll win every motherfucking time. What's the message? The message is just, man, I like the way they address addiction.

Like, put it like this. Everybody on there has an issue, right? Like whether it's the father who was bisexual, you know, and sleeps with transgender. Well, he slept with a transgender. I don't know if that's his thing, but he slept with a transgender. I know he's bisexual.

Or Zendaya and her addiction or, you know. Body form. What's that thing called? Body dysmorphia. You know, fat, fit, what's his name? Fes? Yeah. Fence and why he's so violent and how you got to the drug game.

They show you all of their origins and they show you the trauma that led to them getting to where they are. Then Dea, we know that her father died. You know what I'm saying? And she's been dealing with the grief for her father. Like this shit is just, it's not just mindless. That's why I didn't understand when Dare came at them because I'm like, you know, Dair, y'all don't watch this show.

Who, who? Dair. The drug. The drug and alcohol or whatever. Oh, I thought you said. And I was like, is this another one? Jesus, how many? The show is great.

I told my daughter, yo, you need to start watching this show. Oh, wow. Yeah, she's 13. I thought you would stand up her to watch it. I mean, I think the message in it is so good and it really does scare people from drugs. That's it. When they said to you, they glorified drug. You said, nothing.

I ain't doing this shit. Yeah. Last weekend was ridiculous. Thank God for the word. Last weekend. Don't tell me. I'm a watch. Yo, Roo learned everything from Spider-Man, bro.

That's all I'm going to fucking tell you, bro. Roo was running through that neighborhood like she was the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, bro. That shit was incredible. She was going through withdrawal. That was her superpower, bro. She got rid of four cops.

My God. She was scaling walls, dodging cars. Like, I was like, yo, she's Spider-Man. She got everything except for the fucking web shooting out of her wrist, man. Zendaya should win an award, but I don't know what the fuck. Is that an Emmy? I don't know what the fuck. She needs to win an Oscar.

Fuck it. I know it's not a movie, but she needs to win an Oscar. Well, that's not possible. I don't even know what to say right now. Alex, put the camera on me. Brilliant idiots listeners and watchers, I am so sorry. Tom Brady is so good. He should win the NBA championship.

He really is, bro. He should too. How did Tom Brady not win the MVP and NBA? They should make him president of China. You, why not? Tom Brady should be president of China. The exaggeration is real. She's a great actress.

Yeah. But the Oscar isn't any better than the Emmy. They're just for. different things. Emmys are for TV shows and Oscars are for movies. So like, I want her to win both. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So listen, whoever in an album. I don't care. Whoever wins

the school in the NBA finals too. You got to give them both trophies, bro. I think that we should. Hey. A hundred percent. My exaggerations is showing how much I enjoy her to work. Yeah. Should she win a Grammy too? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She sings. No, she does sing on there, though. What does she has a track. I don't know what the song's called, but. I know.

She doesn't. She does. No, she don't. Yeah, she does. The last season she had, that was her song. What song? At the end of the show. How does it go? She was like, people thought she was dying. She was rapping Tupacca's.

No. That was her song. All right, now I got to look it up. Can we do some asking idiots? I don't know. Yeah. She does. She does.

Just, just let's do you ask an idiot. My darling. Why are we going to be sorry? Because that's a salty. Wait, before that, did you guys, I want to know your take on TI on stand-up. I think that, I think that, listen, I like when everybody tries stand-up, to be totally honest. No, you don't, I'm scared. No, I'm not like those because stand-up is so hard.

I wish everybody did it because then they'd have respect for it. Yeah. So, like, I tried it. I sat my ass down. See? I can't even do it, right? That's right. That shit is not good to even try.

That's how much I respect. That's the thing. So it's like, there are people. Every, what's up? Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, that's all good. It is her. We believe you. We believe it.

We believe it. We believe everything you say, Taylor. Thank you. That's all I need to hear. I think T.I. I think Tiaz is trying to figure out what the next thing he's going to do in his life. Because don't nobody want to see him in a versus. That's why.

Oh. That's why everybody shook to death to see Tipping of Verses because you know he'll body 95% of y'all. So now he got to go out there and do stand-up. Yep. That's what this is all about. Yep. But, you know. Are you going to be upset when he

Well no, you don't care. You're doing the fetus. It'll be the other comedians who'll be mad. The guys who can't sell out comedy clubs. The Tiak can go anywhere right now and get 70 to $100,000 at a comedy club. I think he'll do fine and he'll figure it out. I just think it's, I think it's really hard to be a creative person your whole life.

And then people go, all right, you don't need to make music anymore. Like, we're done buying your music or listening to your new music. I think it's really hard to just turn off that creative muscle. So I think for him to go, okay, let me work towards something with standup. Let me work towards something different. I think that makes sense for me as a creative. And I think that's a great thing about standup

is like you can do this shit until you're, you know, Don, what is it? Don Rickles was fucking almost 100 years old. It's good to reinvent yourself and change the product. Yeah, just keep being creative, man. And if you don't want TI to do stand-up, then you have to tell him that I bet you can't quit doing stand-up. If ever you tell TIE he can't do,

tips are going to do. Yeah. So if you want them to quit, you say, hey, I bet you can't quit stand up. Yeah. And they love it so much. What I would tell, Tip, is that you got to stop letting people videotape you. Yeah, him working out. Because it's like, one, these aren't the best versions of your jokes.

Two, you can't even work out the jokes of everybody's seen them. That's right. So it's like, give yourself some time to grow the material. That's right. They want to post you. The second they see you, they got to post you. Why hasn't the Duval told him this? Maybe he asks

You want him to lose Listen, I'm in Listen man You can't lose with me Because I like when you're good I like when you're funny And I like when you bump So either way

I'm dying laughing You can't lose You're right If you're funny You're actually more funnier That's right I told you all this before When I go to stand-up shows

I'm either really intently listening And I'm like Oh shit that was so smart Arp it's really really super funny I'm like oh shit But I'm gonna laugh But I'd never try to laugh too hard Because I know

That sometimes It's something else after it Yeah. But if you're bombing, if I'm the only person in the club laughing, I promise you you're bombing. And I love it. I love it too. I love you like, ha, ha.

It's so. It's so. Yeah. Ah! People be looking to be like, that must be Charleney cousin or something. That must be Charleney a friend or something. Yo, I'm like, no, I just like seeing people bombing. Like, that one person.

That white guy. Oh, my God, who was doing the impression. Impressinations. Oh, that shit was so funny, man. Y'all haven't seen the funniest one. No, this was on, we was at the show. She, when I said she was up there losing. I was there.

Oh, my God. I don't remember her name. She was, yo, show. When I say she was up there losing, bro. She must be that bad. And no one was laughing. All you guys, Charlamagne. Y'all seen this?

Watch this one. This is a difference. Oh, I did see this one. Oh, yeah, it's going to bring her up. Oh, Heather McDowell? I didn't watch you. Double-vaxed, booster, flu shot. And I'm going to be honest.

I have the shingle shot too. Singles. And I still get my period. What? Yes. Wow. Traveled. Went to Mexico twice.

Did shows, meet and greets, never got COVID. Clearly. Jesus loves me the both seriously so nice so nice what did you pass out though

did you pass out you hit a dude laughing no man they thought that it was a joke no man the audience I thought she said she fractured a skull

yeah I don't know she fractured her skull but like they of course thought it was a joke because she talked about I got all these vaccines etc and then you pass out that seems like You got a bend your knees.

You got a bend your knees. Her shit locked and then. Wow. You heard that. You heard that shit. I've never seen somebody fall so hard when they were already sharp. They needed a carpet on the fucking stage. Go on,

let me, give me some asses. Let's do a couple of asses to get out of here. I got to get out of here. What we got? What we got? Does full, this is a good one?

Does full independence kill censorship? That's by B-C-U-Rt. No. It does not. Because, I always tell y'all, you can say whatever you want, and you can have all the free speech you want, but you're not free of the consequences of said speech,

are the reactions of said speech? There is always going to be this. Like, there's always going to be outraged. There's always going to be noise. So full independence does not kill censorship. There's always going to be somebody calling for you to be silenced in some way, shape, or form. Yeah.

Yeah. Independence helps because it puts pressure on industry to make their rules malleable so they can compete with you. That's right. So that's why In The Pends, I think, is very good. But like Charlotte-Maid said, like, there's always going to be people trying to silence you because they disagree with your views. So, or they just don't like how powerful or influential you are.

That's the funny thing about Rogan, right? It's like, okay, let's just say, hypothetically, which won't happen. Spotify reviews, Rogan. Yeah, not happen. They still got to cash him up. Yep. And he'll just go back to doing his podcast the way he was. Or get another crazy bag somewhere else.

Like if he even wants to. It's like, you go back, you're already, he's in Austin. That's his studio guys that he had before this. Like, it's just like, he'll just go back to doing what he was doing. Also, this is just so successful. I mean, it's just the best possible thing for the podcast. Like, everybody's going to listen to it. We were all joking around with Akash.

We're like, how does it feel to be on like potentially the most listened to Rogan episode ever? Listen. Like the one that he came back on, Akash was just on Rogan for anybody. I saw it. I didn't see it. But like. You definitely see it now. Literally.

it's like the episode where he's going to come back and then talk about what it happened to him it just happens to be the one. We played a clip this morning on breakfast floor. There we go. With Akash talking. Let's go. And I said that annoying voice you hear

talking with Prox. It's Akash. You know, but it's just like, yeah. I mean, I just don't, I don't know, man. With some, I'm not even getting into that. What else we got? What's the best age to get? married as a man? Yeah, that's a good one.

That's a good one. 38. I got married at what? I got married at 13. I'm 38. Oh, I'm going to say 20. So, eight years ago? How old was I? 33.

What was 43 minus 8? I don't fucking know. Yeah. You get married when you want to get married, man. You get married, man. You're married whatever age you want to get married, man. After 20s? After the 20s. You're not a man. Nah. Yeah.

Yeah. It doesn't matter. I'm just saying. The question is, what's the best age to get married for a man? Why can I answer? I don't think, I don't think it should be, I don't think it should be an age. Yo, this girl's crazy, bro. Yeah.

Yo, this girl is absolutely. Yeah, I don't think it's an age. I think Zendaya should get a Michelin star for her performance. Oh, euphoria. Oh, my God. Yeah, I don't think it's supposed to be an age. I think you get married when you feel like I will leave her the last two years in my meat.

Like you feel like you got two years left for your meat being good, then you do it. I'm going to give her the last of it before it start having problems. She's definitely going to fuck a younger man. I mean, that's what happened. So that's why you need to give her the last two. It's going to be a younger man with thick eyebrows,

young thick Dominican with thick eyebrows. Probably. I don't care. Yes, you do. Yeah, you would care, bro. If you know something's going to come. I got to see wax get his heart broke. I know.

But why you want this so bad? Pay back, right. I got it. I really did. Breaking hearts. That's reparations. I just got to see it one time. Reparations.

Before I die at the tender age of 100. I got to see wax get his heart broke. You're going to get your heart broke all the time. I get my heart broke all the time. No. What you mean? What you want? No, no, I'm not going to lie.

Shorty did break your heart. Who? Who? Shorty, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, when you was out of getting your Kanye on, bro. It's all good. It's supposed to happen.

It's going to happen. It's going to happen. What happened? I don't know. I really don't know what happened, but I'll take it because if it already happened, I mean, my karma already gone, so thank you. No, you was in love. You was in love.

It's okay. That's okay. That's crazy. I think we've done it here, guys. Take it. We've done it, right? Yes, sir. One of a hundred, do you guys have a Super Bowl prediction?

Defense wins championships. Yeah, defense wins championships. There's offense wins, pays, I get the ticket. So I look at the Rams. Defense wins championships. Offense sell tickets. So I think the Bengals got better offense. They're going to lose.

And defense is going to win with the Bengals. I mean, with the Rams, yes. I bet on Joe Burroughs. I don't know what that is. That's the motherfucker's name is. That motherfucker got magic with him. Okay. That's the Bengal guy?

Yes. That guy is different. He's been different. college. Yes, I do believe defense won the championships. Just won the championships. Ah, them Bengals look like a team of destiny, bro. That Joe, that joke.

If they could get past Donald and Miller and all them over there, it's a little different, man. But don't listen to me. I'm a cowboy thing. Me too. What the fuck do I know? Okay. I just know what defense does.

You got a prediction for the Super Bowl? Mm-hmm. I don't care. I genuinely do not care about it. I'm with you. Yeah, me too. Yeah. I'm with you.

Looking forward to the halftime show, though. Yeah. Really looking forward to how it. And I hope they take it there. Yeah. I hope nobody tripping for all. I hope they don't do the cute shit. I hope they come out there and give us those 90s problematic

rap tomb. Probably not going to happen. Why would they be scared? Because of what's going on in the world right now. Nah, they're not scared. Those three ain't scared. Huh? Those three are not scared.

The independence. Yeah, Snoomda could do anything. Those two are scared. Who? We'll see, though. Snoop Dog really can't do anything. We'll see. God bless Snoop Dog.

As always, if you listen to... What? That's it, right there. That's it, that's it, that's it, that. Yeah, we don't even need to go. Whatever. You're going. What the fuck, man?
