The Brilliant Idiots - Idiots In The Stream

Episode Date: September 4, 2026

Charlamagne and Andrew dig into Keefe D's conviction for orchestrating Tupac's murder, thirty years, a memoir, and a mountain of podcast interviews later, ego finally caught up with him, before turning to John Morgan's controversial "camera up your ass" return-to-work policy and whether employers can demand office-hours accountability while texting employees at midnight. The conversation shifts to Dolly Parton's legacy following her death, with Jaylen Brown's community-investment comments thrown into the mix. They close out breaking down HBO's "Lanterns," the show's handling of race and fear, and a wild Times Square stabbing that turned into a real-time NYPD standoff. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠ Checks out AlexxMedia ⁠AM Mornings⁠ Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/zt3hy9x9 #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

potential racism. No. What did they, what she said? Can you read what it says? What does it say? Don't make your eyes like that. Oh, shut the fuck. You're a piece of shit.

Shut the fuck off. You can't even read it. You can't read it. Oh, shut the fuck. Oh, that was fucked up, Chuck. Shut the fuck up. I went to go read the shit. But you get the eyes like that,

like you're going to be able to read Mandarin when you close your eyes more. That's fucking wrong, dude. For context. Free five, October 14th, man. Chill out. Everybody got to chill out October 14th. For the audience's sake,

because they have no idea what's going on right now. It's two Asian people. It's two Asian people fighting or spitting on each other, talking from very close range. There's text which I cannot read. I would say that text looks. It looks Korean to me. It does not look Chinese. It's a martial arts.

I think that's Korean lettering as opposed to Chinese lettering, but I could be wrong. You don't recognize this one? I do not. Is that normal for them people just to spit on each other like that back and forth? This is a look at them fighting for distance. You know what they're doing? They're sharing that new form of COVID. Oh, we, that's what the fuck they're doing.

Hey, man. October 14th, bro, because I had a banger just right now. I had a bang here just right now, October 14th, three-fighter. I had a banger ready to go. Click, clap. Boom. All right? What about?

Taylor. Hit us, Taylor. Yeah, give us some good things in. Hit us, Taylor. Did y'all just started? Oh, don't. We just started. Wait a John Morgan shit.

Shalute to John Morgan, man. I had the pleasure of interviewing John Morgan a couple of months ago. I read his book from, what's it called? Shoutout to Morgan and Morgan, man. Yeah, Morgan and Morgan. It's not hard work, it's luck. Yeah, life is luck. From a paper boy and how to improve your luck.

John Morgan said, we're going to put a camera on your computer. We're going to put a camera up your ass. Okay, the first week, 23 people quit. It's not that they don't want to work from home. They don't want to fucking work. So he's talking about people that wanted to work from home. Can we press play? Okay.

Let me read the headline first. What's the headline? The headline is we're going to, John Morgan, billionaire John Morgan reveals 23 employees quit the first week. He put cameras on work from home computers. Okay. Come back to the office was just like, I mean, nobody wanted to come back to the office. So I said, you know what? So these people didn't want to come back to the office, say, here's what we're going to do.

You can work from home. but guess what? We're going to put a camera on your computer. We're going to put a camera up your ass. Damn. We won't look at you. It'll be a pixel. The first, getting people to come back to the office was just like, weak.

23 people quit. Oh, my gosh. It's not that they don't want to work from home. They don't want to work. And the people who want to work from home, now, we're like, well, here's how it works. If you qualify, we're going to have a camera on you. We're going to be monitoring you closer than we would.

And we've got, we measure key strokes. We have this productivity score. This is incredible. And look, what's going on is a lot of people just don't want to work. It's weak. What did he say wrong? I see people giving them backlash for this. I'm like, what's the problem?

There's backlash? I have a counter to it. Okay. If his policy is we're going to monitor you while you work from home. To make sure you're working. To make sure you're working fine. But I think the problem with a lot of employers now is they want to know that people are working during nine to five. But they also don't draw the line to nine to five, right?

Like everyone in this room, there's no idea of like the workday ends at a certain place. Yeah. Right. Like, I get text at 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock at night, one o'clock in the morning. You know, maybe I answer those a little slower. Yeah. But we're all plugged in 24-7 right now. So you can't have it both ways would be my argument. Like if you're saying, I'll come into work nine to five, but at five, I'm not answering shit. I got a camera on you. Right. If you email me, you're penalized. You're penalized. Yes. And I don't think the employers are willing to do that. I think they want to have it both ways. I think they want to say, we want to know you're working during this work day.

But we're also going to send you emails. We're going to have calls. You're constantly, a lot of it depends on the type of job, right? Like, there are still certain jobs that have very defined, you know, you're working as a receptionist in an office or, you know, yeah, you're going home when they say go home. But for a lot of people, you're plugged in now. And I think if you're plugged in 24-7, you should have flexibility in terms of when you work and where you work. Chris, you're not wrong, but I can't assume that's what he meant.

I can only assume that he meant during office hours. We're going to have a camera on you to make sure that you're working. Let's keep it real. A paralegal? Sure. Let's keep it real, though. How many friends of ours do we have that, like, once they were working for home, they were working two hours a day.

Everybody was. Okay. Now, what I think that the people, what I think that the John Morgan's in them probably realized when people started working from home is that they were only working two hours a day at the office, too. It's not like they were working eight hours a day at the office. they were still doing two hours worth of work, but you were spreading that shit over eight hours.

At home, you could knock it out in two hours and then enjoy your day. But if I have to be at the office for eight hours, the fuck am I rushing through this shit. I do think you're more productive in the office. Way more productive. I personally think so. Now, there's people that have, you know,

severe anxiety who have been waiting to stay in the house, right? So they might be more productive at home. Most people I feel like are more productive in the office. I'm not productive. I'm not, I like being at home, but I'm not more productive at home. Not even close. You guys. No.

No. I think it depends on the job, though. I don't get shit done at home. I got my kids and I want to hang out with them. Simple as that. I got to remove my, like, when I got to do work at home, I have to put myself in a room and my kids need to, like, not know I'm there. Because the second my daughter knocks on the door,

I'm stopping whatever the fuck I'm doing, I'm playing with my dog. Yeah. Or I have to leave the house or whatever and then go somewhere else to do work. Because I just know me. So imagine you're a parent and you don't have somebody that's there looking after the kids because you're kind of pseudo watching your kids as you work. That's you. There's no way.

Yeah, you haven't showed up. Shut up. No. I'm saying like date I'm not. Yeah. So yeah, it's. And it's also the preparation, right? Like if I get up and take a shower and put clothes on and get ready for the day and leave

the house, I'm up ready to do something. If I just roll out of bed, you know, maybe brush my teeth, put a t-shirt on and I'm sitting at the computer all day. Am I really getting ready for the day? Am I really giving my all to this job? John Morgan, if he's paying you, he just wants you to give you all to your job. I also don't blame any, like, business owner who's like, look, if you're all here, I know more or less that you can do this up, because here is so boring, there's nothing else to do but work. If you're not here, I can't tell what you're doing.

And at the end of the day, the owner is paying or the business owner is paying the people. So you get to decide the terms in which they work. If you're an employee, you also get to go, hey, you email me after six. I have my life after six. So I might not get back to you. I understand the productivity on the keystrokes, but you don't make a camera inside somebody's home is a little bit too amazing. Exactly. I was going to say that.

I was like either one. Give me the amount of work you need done and the time in which you need it done, and I'm going to get it done. And if I stop getting it done within that time, then let's have a meeting. But if I can get all that shit done in two hours and the job pays for the eight hours of time to do that, then I'm productive. And either give me more work and give me a raise or let me do what the fuck I want. my other six hours. Yeah, and what's the difference between being? Like you said, when people were in the office,

they were just stretching it up. So now you're going to be penalizing because you're working from home and you could work faster from home, so now you should get more work. And then pay me more for the more work. They're not going to pay you more. You know how to...

Well, then get another job. What's the difference between having a camera and being on Zoom at work? Because you're not on Zoom the whole time. But you're not going to be on camera the whole time. That's what he's saying you are. Yes, you are. He's like, you're pixelated.

So I don't see what you're actually doing. So basically what it is is the camera's facing you. You're pixelated. So if you want to pick your nose or whatever, it's not on camera, if you're burping, whatever the fuck it is. But, and we're not like looking at your kids or whatever in your house. But we're aware that you're by your computer or not so that you can't have like a little, you can't like take your keyboard somewhere else and just have a cat walking it every once a while to make it look like you're being productive.

So there's all these hacks to make sure people are working. The tricky thing is like what happens when they start applying them shit's to, to people working in the office. Now. I mean, yeah, they do that now. Like, they know when you, at least at eye heart, because of your key card, they know when you clock in, right? You don't know if you're doing work.

But if you're constantly late, they know if you're constantly late, right? We're on, we're being recorded 24-7. You do know that, right? Like, we're being recorded in the building 24-7, in studio, in the hallways, everything else. So, I mean, it's like, what's the, it's just you're under supervision. Why you're at work? But they don't know what you're doing at your desk, at your cubicle.

You could just be bullshit in the whole time you're in. Shit, they think that to you in HR. You know what I'm saying? Like, you don't, I don't know. I just don't, I don't see the problem with this. What's the problem? This feels invasive. We're in the Big Brother era.

Everything's being recorded and monitored all day long. Doesn't mean we need to accept it. We already have. Have we? Okay. What? By not fighting back more, you're saying? I don't know.

How do you fight? back we're in a surveillance state. How do you fight back? By pushing back. Yeah, yo, we're talking, we can mention something right now and this shit going to pop up in our phones. So you believe in stopping frisk? I don't know, it's street fight in theaters October.

I don't know what the fuck we're talking about right now. Right. Okay. What else we got? Is that our new button when we get asked something crazy? Screefighter in theaters October 14th. Um, here's one for you, uh, Alex. Uh-oh.

It's not uh-oh. Like, you're already doing it. So, uh-oh. Uh-oh, I know. Taylor, you got to remember this is a podcast. What? They're hearing us first. I didn't put anything on it.

Oh, press on nails for men are here as beauty brand talons design sets specifically for wider, flatter nail beds. They bet, but you wouldn't get no press on nails. Would you have it? No. Get your shit painted like a real man. Because it's like the woman I go to, she does art. So I appreciate the art that she does. I mean, press on nails can be art.

You just wouldn't do press on nails. Yeah, what's the difference if they're pressed on or painted on? I mean, they stay more on when they're painting on. I don't know. It's just another level of gay, but it's still gay. Are you? Which is more gay. What he's doing is way more gay.

How often you go to the next line? It's a sticker versus somebody painting it on. Wait, tell me. How often do you go to the nelson line? Probably like once a month. Nah, nah, you'd be having to sign every month? Cut it out. Like once in one, maybe every three weeks, probably.

Alex, cut it out. You always have your nails done. Exactly. I mean, fly designs. My nails usually look better than most women, but that's because I take care of myself. All right. I see, San Taylor, E.J. Johnson. But E.J. said, when I walk in the room, I'm the bad as pitch.

Once a month, that's not usually, women go, like, at least like every week. Well, you got your nails matching your G-U-in-s sneakers right now, bro. kind of fire. That's crazy. That wasn't intentional, but it's kind of fine. Yes, it was. It wasn't. Can cut it out. You got on blue like a trip today. You got on a blue hat, blue shirt, blue nails, and Gio and this knickers. How many, that's not intentional. What the fuck? Gay guys always want to make it seem effortless when they fucking put a

nice fit together. They're not so crazy. You think that's a nice fit? Yeah. It's cool. Yeah. You don't think it's cool? I'm not a fashion guy. It's look cool to me. Thank you, Joe. Even though you just called me gay, but thank you. I didn't call you gay. Yeah, you did. I thought gay.

You do call him gay regularly. No, no, no, no. I said if he was to get press on nails, that's just another level of gay. I think that's a lower level. I don't think that's gay. Really? Yeah.

Why, a woman paints my nails. How is that gay? It ain't about the woman, man. So if a woman pangs you, is that not? Yeah, what is that? What does that mean? What does that mean? If you're doing, you're doing this and then,

All right, but you need this gel, right? It's gel, though. Not the limp wrist and then the blow of the nails. How do you look at your nails? Taylor did the lip wrist. You're doing this, right? Hold on. Show me how you look at your nails.

You guys suck. Just tell me how you look at them. There's no right way to do this. Just show me how you look at him. I go like this. You go like that. Get a fuck out of him. Oh, you go, man.

Nobody makes a fucking fist. You go like that. You limp your wrist and you look. Look how shiny his shit is it. I got a half extra. There's a gloss on it. It's not no gloss. It's just a buff.

That's no gloss. You don't got no pain on it? None whatsoever. No, you got pain. You got paint. That's shiny. You do have pain. It shines, bro.

Stop. Oh, this is different. Oh, oh. And I got a split nail. So being that I got a split nail. Everybody got an excuse. No, this was a split nail. That's your white finger?

I'm dead ass serious. It's your white finger. Look. Why would you split your white finger? It got split when he split other things. That's what happened. I don't know why. Yo.

Show. That's good. I don't do the polish, though. I just get a nice little buff. How do you wipe with the long nails? Like, have you ever had the long acrylics? I don't get the long nails. But have you ever had them?

Yeah. How do you wipe? But what do you mean long, like, Cardi B long? No. No, that's crazy. But like, even if you have them out to here, how do you wipe? Are you not breaking through? I just get enough toilet paper and then.

That's crazy. Even with duties? Mm-hmm. And you've never. But mind you, I don't, my nails, I would get like maybe a little bit, like, a little bit longer. Oh, never the long. Yeah, never get long.

All right, what else we got, Elle? What else we got, Taylor Gang, gang, gang? Did y'all hear about the scamming ass niggas now? First of all, don't say that around Schultz. Wait, why? Because you got to lay low until October 14th. Yeah, but I can't even hear the word? No, no, no, no, no.

You shouldn't even be in a percent of you. Why would you do? That's unfair. You shouldn't even acknowledge it. You should act like you didn't even hear that. So I can't even, if I hear the N-word, it's racist. It's very much racist. Hearing it.

Hearing it. Yes. What you did? I'm in the movie and Charmaine's worried that I'm going to say something bad and controversial that's going to mess up the rollout. You know what I'm saying? But I don't know why me. You already called Alex Gay. Yep, you did.

Yeah, but why is that bad? It's a compliment. You should have called him. You should have said Meat Fighter in the end is October 20. There is no. You should have said. Yo, what's my man's name? What's his name?

Dejan Love. Dejan Love. Fake 49ers player, Dejan Love, watch me flex my millions. I don't know why people upset with Dejan Love, you'll be honest. Legend. I'm not going to call him a legend. This is who I blame. I blame parents

and I blame teachers. All right. First of all, let's read the story. I don't know who doesn't know this story, but what's the storyteller? He scammed He scammed women out of $1.3 million by pretending to be a San Francisco 49-4. football player? Yes.

Why do people not just look up the roster? Day John Love is a 35-year-old man who was arrested by the FBI for allegedly august creating a $1.3 million romance scam. He is accused of posing out of San Francisco 49th player to default 25 women. The fraud. The fraud, 25 women. You got it. Listen, man.

Blame his third grade teacher. He's not the only one. Blame his teacher. Blame his third grade teacher. Why? Because I'm sure his third grade teacher told him at some point. You can be anything you want to be. Shut up.

I know. That's what the fuck happened. You tell these little kids, you can be anything they want to be, and then they grow up to be a San Francisco 49, a football player, and you mad at the man. Should we blame those? Blame these women? Exactly.

Them too, because they should have been able to Google the motherfucking roster. But not even Google, it's like... By the way, God's been doing shit like this. Well, this is... Yeah, there's another one. So this is what I was telling Alex about. Is it like... What he did was asking for the money fucked up the game for so many guys to lie and say they're in the NFL.

Word is born. They look athletic. Did y'all hear the voicemail? Yeah. Okay. They look athletic. I'm serious. I've seen shit like this my whole life.

Yeah, this was the game. Somebody pretending to be a ball player, especially before the internet. Pretending to be a football player. Yeah, I remember when people used to pretend to be the franchise boys or pretend to be like the party like a rock star dude. Seriously, because nobody, you didn't really know what they lived. It looked like. Bro, when we were in Ukraine, they thought Jamil was Will I Am. You see what I'm saying?

Shut up. That ass. You see what I'm saying? It was stopping in the street. Everything. Yes. It was a different time. Also, before the internet, you couldn't Google people.

So if you were just a big black dude in America, you could say you're on a football team, everybody wears a helmet anyway. Remember when you used to walk on it? Well, you know, you know how many girls fuck Emmett Smith and it wasn't? Exactly. You know, you ever walked on a plane back in the day? You're sitting in first class and somebody asked, what do you do? And you say football players. I used to say proctologist.

I bet you would I promised you I used to be like I'm a proctologist sitting there with a shiny middle finger like split my nail to that split my nail at work man this guy was tight object lodged in there cut my finger damn near an half

I used to get so offended like that fuck it like a day you would always assume athlete or entertainer like now I'm a proctologist but my point is it was easier to do that back in the day 2006 nobody should be getting

catfished on any level bro not because they've wanted man There's something to that Some people want to get catfish You want to fuck a ball player If you're trying to get laid that weekend You're a girl, you'd rather You know, throw some pussy to a ball player

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you feel like less of a whore Exactly You know what I'm saying? You fuck somebody who's actually doing something With their life But also, too, man What do you say? You said that

You said something before that He's fucking up the game It was the money Taking the money is where you fucked up The game for everybody else People want to be catfish The women are crazy for this This is somewhere in there

They want to get catfish. Oh, pray on people's need to believe to create a cult like following. That's one of the 48 laws of power. This guy was praying on people's need to believe because nobody, everybody wants to be with a baller, you know what I'm saying? You want to be with an athlete or somebody like, you know, some, somebody just doing something with their life. You hear millions and I'm a millionaire.

And he was getting people to invest in bullshit. That's some crazy shit. But my point, people would like. Just got me a smooth talker. People love power. People want proximity The power. Yeah, but like, what women do you know invest?

What? A lot. What? A lot. A lot. Man, I'm trying to tell you. I know a lot. You know young women chasing ball players

that are also investing in an S&P? Yeah. Who? Yeah, but she's old. Old women doesn't count. Young women, the investment is in yourself. Salute to Cash App. Everybody knows Cash App makes it easy to send and receive money,

but you can actually do way more with Cash App then you probably realize. It's really about making your money work for you instead of just having to sit there. If you direct deposit at least $300 in paychecks each month and use your cash app card for purchases, you can earn interest on your savings. And there are no hidden fees and no minimum balance requirements.

They're heavy, bro. I don't read the heavies, man. She's trying to make America read. There's nothing, it's right. There's nothing wrong with saying that because I was watching, I was watching 9 to 5 after Dolly Parton passed because 9 to 5 is the greatest working class anthem ever, right? So I'm watching the movie.

You know the movie is literally satire about a tyrannical, sexist boss. The amount of times they show Dolly Parton's breast in that movie, yo. Crazy. I mean, her breasts were part of her aesthetic in a real, real, real, real way. But she even said one time,

I hope y'all know that I got a brain under this hair and a heart under these breasts. I think that's what it was. Although Dolly is certainly an immeasurable talent, the country singer-songwriter has come to believe that a great deal of the attention she's garnered over the years has come from her ample bosom.

The singer has always received just as much recognition for her looks as for her talent, and Dolly has played into that over the course of her career. She said a funny thing where she was, they were like, do you get offended by the dumb blonde jokes? And she's like, no, because I'm not a dumb blonde. She goes, I'm not dumb and I'm not blonde. Do you get tired of dumb blonde jokes? No. Oh, sorry. Because we know we're not dumb and we know we're not blonde.

That's a fact. Yeah. Dolly was one of the last monoculture celebrities, yo. Why was she so beloved? I think she was a little bit before my generation. Well, I think, yeah, she was a superstar when superstar mattered. She was a superstar in the 70s and the 80s and then the 90s. Her dressing and she was a beautiful woman.

She had the heavies and she gave a lot to the community. She did, huh? She gave a lot to the community. And she had sloppers. Yeah. And she was in movies, nine to five. was a hit movie. That's Lily Tomlin. It's Jane Fonda, is Dolly Parton. Those are the biggest stars of that era, bro.

She's talented, too. She could play an instrument. She could sing. She's not just a bimbo. And her music wasn't like, I know she was a country artist, but the songs that crossed over was just good music. Jolene is just a good song. Nine to Five is just a good song. Islands in the Street. Huh? Islands in the Street.

Is it a good song. I will always love you. Just a good song. Like, those are just good records. She wrote and I will always always. I always love you? Yes. That was her first. And that one? Oh, I didn't know that.

And Elvis wanted it. And she said no. She said no. And she said she cried for days because Elvis was the biggest star at the time, but he wanted 50% of the publisher. Is it true that you wouldn't let him record, I will always love you? I wouldn't let Colonel Tom Parker. See, because Elvis loved the song. In fact, I talked to Priscilla not very long ago.

She said, you know, Elvis sang that song to me when we were walking down the courthouse steps when we got divorced. No. He was singing to me, I will always love you. He loved the song, wanted to do it. Had he worked up, they'd already call me to come down to the studio to meet him and to be part to hear the song. And the night before, Colonel Tom Parker calls me and says, well, you know, we don't record anything with Elvis unless we have publishing on it, or at least half the person. What's money? Well, I said, because I'd had a number one song.

on it. And I said, this is the most important copyright in my whole publishing company, and I can't do that. He said, well, we can't do it. And I was heartbroken. Michael Live, Elvis had that song, that shit would have gone. I don't know. Over Whitney? I mean, we don't know it. Well, over Dolly.

Oh. Because I didn't even know it was Dolly's song. I thought it was Willie Nelson. I thought had the biggest version of it. Willie Nelson did? I will always love you. I never heard that one. I just heard Whitney. I'm wrong. I'm confusing with it. Yeah, not bigger than Whitney. Whitney shit was huge.

Jolene, Jolene. Listen. I was taught. And somebody asked me that the other day, why did Dolly transcend all races? It's the music. It's number one. There's nothing more universal than music, bro. And breast.

No, respectfully. Like, you know what I'm saying? And she made nine to five. Can I just say that you're making my point? You're making my point. Invest in yourself, man. Imagine Dolly took that breast augmentation cost, right? And put that in the S&P 500 versus putting it in her own body.

What the fuck are you talking about? I'm talking about investing for women. She put it into her own body. She invested herself. And the return on that. Crazy. With her natural talent, of course. Those were her real?

Say again? Those aren't real. Those are real. What wasn't real? Dolly's breast weren't real. No. I know you believe in Bigfoot. But there's no way you believe in it.

Charlemagne, there's no way. She's had them my whole life. Just because she had them doesn't mean they're real Charlemagne. I'm not going to lie. I thought they were real. They was making them like that back then. Let me see. They wasn't making them back.

I thought that's why she was famous because she just had. Yeah, they wasn't making them like that back then. Guys, you need to stop. Maybe, no. So they wasn't making them like that back then. I think there's been different iterations. I think there's been different iterations. Shout out to Dolly, man.

No, but shout out to Dolly, man. Dolly part. No, it says, yes, they are real. I know they are. I'm trying to tell you. No way. I didn't think they was not real. No way.

Let me look that up right now. I didn't think they were. I'm kidding. So, like, Brian says Brian had stated that she had breast augmentation and lifts over the years. She opened her and having breast augmentation and lift procedures over the years. That's no meaning they're real. I mean. I mean. It's real to me, man.

You've been open about that you have had some work done. Yeah. Some tucks and pulls and sucks? Yes, I haven't. I'll have some more when I need them. Really? Did you have plastic surgery? Well, yes, I have had several little things done through the years. But I'm not ashamed of that at all.

I think it's wonderful that we have great doctors. And I think God works through all people, especially talented, gifted people. But I've had several little things done and several big ones. Boob joke and I near sonny and most of the boob will tell them. I call these my weapons of mass destruction. I always say, just find the best doctors. I even, some of my celebrity friends, I give them the names of the doctors that I've used. But you just got to be very careful not to overdo it.

I started doing little things, whether I needed my under eyes, you know, touched up a little bit or this. You know, I've done it to where I just did it in small doses. Oh, Lord, I've outlived so many plastics of it. After I lost a lot of weight, too, I had several things lifted and pulled and tucked and all that. But I think it's great. I would do it again. I think I look all right. You believe in plastic surgery.

I believe in anything that's going to make you look better and make you feel better about yourself. All I know is this, 9 to 5. Is there a better song for working class people than 9 to 5, bro? My boobs are fake, my hair is fake, but what is real is my voice in my heart. I agree. Is there a better working class song than 9 to 5? Working 9 to 5. I like Beyonce's song.

Who? Credence Claire, what a revival? I know you've heard of that shit. What the fuck? Great song. But 9 to 5, man. That was the hours that people work. You know what I'm saying?

Like, I get good day. This guy. Those of the hours people work. Every once in a while he says this shit and you're like, are you a media suit? Yeah, yo. Those of the hours people. You know, the greatest radio personality of this. Nine to five.

No, nine to five is a great song. Those are the hours people. Yes, it is. You didn't. No else thought to do it. Who else thought to do it? See, now y'all fron to her like soldier boy. Watch his next point.

Watch his next point. Now you're fron on her like soldier boy. Watch his next point. Now everyone works at home. That song wouldn't even relate to them. Yes, it would. Yes, it would. Those hours you want to work.

Yeah. You know who hates that song? John Morgan. Morgan, Morgan wants you working from eight to eight. You goddamn right. Shout out to Dolly, though, man. Working class hero. Hero.

Like this, it is funny, though. I will say this. People do pick and choose what battles they fight based on who they like. Because I see a lot of people. I saw a video, maybe I can find it and insert it, but the guy was talking about how Dolly used her money to make sure kids could read. Kids could read. Yeah, it's beautiful. That don't make her any less of a capitalist, so there's plenty of capitalists who use their money to do things like that. I love, I love what

she did in the literary space. She's, but that's through donation. But like, listen, I, capitalism doesn't mean that you can't also be charitable. Yes. It's not forced charity through government. So, like, many people who, I know a bunch of people who don't do forced charity through government, they use their money to invest in causes that they care about. No, 100%. The idea that you can't also be a benevolent capitalist. Yes. But that's what I mean when I say they pick and choose.

Because I love what Dolly did through literacy. The Dolly Parton was still worth $700 million. You're saying by that same token, she could have given away $600 million of that. No, I'm just saying the guy just did a whole video chastised and billionaire saying, And instead of sending people to space, sending stars to space, she did her, she did charity through books, blah, blah, blah. He was just comparing what other billionaires do compared to what Dolly was doing. A logical fallacy argument built on moral superior. Exactly.

When you don't know that those other people like Bezos might give away way more money. I don't even got to say Bezos, I just know that I know people who have hundreds of millions of dollars who give money to the causes that they care about. Right. I mean, it's a likable take. Yes. It's a likable take. I don't have 100s of a million. Yeah.

The likable take and like the trend on the internet is to support Dolly. And it's a good way to, you know, garner views through supporting what the internet support. I might have it. Hold on. Let me see. Isn't that like kind of how content gets created? That's all of it. You know, why can't we say that?

Billionaire's bad. Everybody's really sad. This person they love died. How can I say billionaires are bad? Exactly. Oh, my God. I hate when people do that shit, yo. They virtue signal.

Oh, yeah, here it goes. Here it goes. Listen. We should never forget that Dolly Parton chose to not be a billionaire because she could have. Dolly Parton made so much money she could have let her money make money. But instead, she chose to reinvest in people and her community. And today when I went to my mailbox on the day she died, there was proof of that sitting right there waiting for me. It was this book right here, Forts from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.

Since the day my son has been born, once a month, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, in partnership, with local nonprofits has mailed my son like millions of American kids across America a book for his parents to read to him to foster a love of reading and literacy and dreams and wonder. And when my son gets home, we'll unwrap this and we'll read it. But she sent many books to us. She said in this book, it's called A Little Emotional. Because again, Dolly Parton spent millions of dollars making sure that kids were not illiterate. She wanted to make sure that kids knew how to read, how they could understand the world around them,

and that they understand how to process their emotions. This is what she spent her money on instead of buying Twitter. She sent the animal song to my son instead of trying to buy an election. She sent little poems for tiny ears instead of trying to spread misinformation about fucking vaccines. She sent dandelion magic to our front door instead of villainizing fucking trans people, J.K. Rowling. She sent Kayas for kindness. Instead of trying to go and harp even more on dividing us as a people.

She said, Lama Lama Meets the Babysitter instead of going and reinvesting in Palantir. She sent the big slide instead of making sure we slid into fascism. She said, how we say I love you instead of making us hate each other. She said, let's explore the she shore instead of buying flock cameras. She said, don't lose Mr. Cuddles, a book all about loss and how to get around and over these feelings through your family. She sent birding for babies, and she sent my son's favorite book, Gaga, Mistake Day. A book about how you can hang out with your grandmother and be silly and make mistakes, and everything will be all right. That pile is proof of why Dolly Parton will be remembered and loved.

Not because her names on the side of a building, not because of anything else, but because she reinvested in people, in hope, in love, and in the future. I would like Jeff Bezos and all the other ones to remember that as they're looking down at us from their fucking rockets because that's the closest those fuckers will get to heaven because only angels like Dolly deserve to be up there. Bangor. Backs. Banger. No, it's perfect internet content. It is. It's like here are the bad guys that you hate or here are the bad guys that my audience hates. How can I say that they're bad guys while saying this person my audience loves is celebrated? Dolly chose not to be a billionaire. Bro, she did. Yeah. She just stopped at 700. 50 million. Dude, 750 is so different in a billion, sir. I know, I know. I know. I know. I know. I love, I love Dolly Parton and everything she stood for. All I'm simply saying is there's a lot of

compassionate capitalists out here. Dolly Parton was a capitalist. She just chose to use a lot of her money to invest in causes that she cared for. Like a lot of people with money doing. You're making a video on the tech founders that you hate's platform. I know. It's not, but to me that's, it's not even the same. Make a video on a platform. It's not even the same. It's not even the same. It's like, why are you comparing what Dolly Parton did and Doug? That's a, that's so silly to me. But that's a perfect internet video if it's going to, like, satisfy the concerns and frustrations of your audience. But the amends in the comments and the, yeah, she chose.

But it's a yes queen. It's a yes queen video. It's like, this is exactly what my audience feels. I'm going to tell you why you feel like this. And I'm going to give you a perfect reason why we should be celebrating Dolly because you also need to celebrate. But I've also seen those sense. people, shit on other people, especially artists who have a lot of money who do just as much in their community, right?

And they'll still say that these people are capitalists and they're what's wrong with society. Are you referring to Jay-Z? No, I'm just saying in general. Like, it's not just a lot of different people. You just see it all the time. That's why I say you pick and choose based on who you like. I don't know enough about Dolly. Dolly could be far more benevolent than a lot of these days.

Oprah got a whole school in South Africa. or had, and she just shut it down recently, and she still gets shitting on as if she's just some capitalist who don't give... Like Oprah does mad deleteracy book clubs and everything, too. She and people with money invest in the causes they care about. I don't know about it. Those tech guys that ruling class, they different.

But there's a lot of Dolly Partons out there, guys. And I love Dolly? Do you see the Jalen Brown quote? I think it's in there. I saw that. Yeah, play the Jail. I saw that. What is it?

Jalen's another one. Jalen gives back to his community a lot. And what, people shit on Jalen? No, no. Watch a clip. He said there's a reason why more people don't invest. Invest in what? The community?

Yeah. He's the only good player on the Sixers. Sixers great, Jalen Brown. If you go back even to when I signed, like I had all the kids behind me, you know, I announced that I wanted to build like Black Wall Street. And I told you. all is going to commit and invest into the city and that's what we did. And that's what I'm continuing to do even beyond that.

But I'm looking forward to expanding that out. But I want other athletes to feel that. I want other athletes to see that because the people that's the people that are representing or the people that are around some of our most intuantful players are steering them away. They're staring them away from being in their community. They're stirring them away from helping the people in a situation. came from because there there's no benefit for these people that are representing them so they

like are pushing you away and it's weird it's super weird and they take a real strong mind and some real courage to even even go against it because then they label me like they said I had a disease they call me the smartest person in the room and all this type stuff for just trying to uplift my community and in and showing respect to the places that I came from like What are we talking about? Sometimes doing the right thing, oh, sorry, go. Sometimes doing the right thing can make people feel guilty that they're not also doing the right thing. And it's easier to criticize those people than it is to match their energy.

Yep. Are deterred them from doing what they're doing. That is exactly. So you got to be like, ah, this guy's really a piece of it. It's like, whenever you see like some rich person donate money and then there's always somebody's like, it's a tax right off. Exactly. It's like, all right, you donated. You donate and write the money off in taxes as well.

You still need to donate the money. It's not like the money is free because you donate. I care about intention, bro. That's what I care about. I care about a person's intention. Even when people say things like, oh, yeah, he made that donation or she made that donation, they should have been more discreet about it. They just did it for the press.

You know, sometimes the press is good. Not for the person, but for the organization. I do think, though, some of the people that he brought up do not strike. me is the most benevolent with their wealth. Like the Palantir guy. I'm not talking, I'm not going to ever come to the defense of any tech laws. That guy steams. I keep telling it, re-techno-techno-leism would kill capitalism.

He seems off, bro. I don't even know who the fuck he is. I think Alex Carp is his name. Oh, Alex Carp, okay, okay, okay. He just seems off. And again, you know. But I don't know that. Would he see him off if he wasn't a multi-billionaire?

Yes. Yeah. Oh, okay. But then sometimes you get an off person that becomes a multi-billionaire. billionaire that's incredibly powerful. And then it's like, whoa. Sometimes you become off because you're a multi-billionaire because you're like, God damn.

Well, I think fame and money definitely. Yeah, everybody's looking to me like I'm crazy. People think I'm some fucking person who drinks catch blood and eats baby flesh. Listen, maybe I caught him on a bad day. I saw him talk once and I was like, this is rough right here. Damn. Yeah. I'll tell you one thing, though.

And Jalen, that's a very interesting take he had. I don't disagree with a lot. He said, I do know an owner, though. I know an owner of an NFL team. I'm not, I don't have no reason to say his name. But I remember he told me and NVM, he was right there with me. He said it that he's old, too. He goes, you know, I like everything that you do in the community, man.

He's like, I like, I like the way you do, you know, the things that you do. I like how, you know, you talk about mental health, stuff like that. I like how you invest in, you know, those things. Because I hate when I assist black people. and getting large amounts of money and they don't invest in their community. This is what he said. So this is clearly a guy

who wants you to do that. And if you knew who I was talking about, you see him do that. Not only is he, of course, invest in his own community. He helps other black people that want to do things for their communities. So I just think, you know, that's very...

Somebody, there's people out there that would love guys like jazz. This is not in defense of people who are getting large sums of money and not giving it. But, like, there is a scarcity mentality. Like, the first generations to get money and feel the confidence that they can continue to make more of it on their own. I imagine the first generation is, like, we just got to hoard it because it was so fucking hard for us the way we grew up and our family needs it. And everybody's asking me, when you come for money for, like, 10 generations, when you're a fucking Vanderbilt or a Kennedy, almost like working is beneath you. And, like, giving money away is, like, the right.

righteous thing to do. So like, I think that like... I got a flip side to that. Please go, please. Growing up, you know, not having much in a place like Monks Corner South Carolina, I didn't even, I wouldn't even, I don't know if I would even call myself porn dissing franchise, because I didn't feel like that growing up. We grew up in a single wide trail on the dirt road, you know, in Montecor, South Carolina. You know, my grandmother had like what you would call, like a little sovereign home with the tin roof and, you know, the wood. But one thing that I always saw when I was younger, even if you had a little, whatever you had, you shared with

other people. My grandmother was going to always make sure everybody ate. Other people's kids, your friends that came over with you. She was going to make sure that you eat. My dad was going to make sure you had a drink or you was going to get some food. Like, that's just the type of people I grew up around. So that's always been my mentality. But also, I come from a line of people who were always of service. My mother was a teacher. My grandmother was a teacher. My grandmother was the fucking lunch lady. She was the school lunch lady. You understand what I'm saying? So it's just like I grew up watching people who didn't have much give the little bit that they had. So naturally, what you're going to do with a little, you're going to do it with a lot. Like that's, I've,

and I've always felt like the more you give, the more you get back in return. And that's not the reason I'm giving. I just feel like that's what you should do. Like I feel like, you know, whatever you're blessed with, bless other people. I think that that makes a lot of sense. So I So I think there's a, there's two, you can be super rich and feel guilty. Or you can be super poor and just be a person that likes to see other people. I'll be honest, like, sometimes you go through some shit and it makes you realize, like, how much help. This is, obviously, you know how much help people need. We grow up in New York City and you see people of all different types of life.

And, like, giving is a very natural thing. But, like, we're talking about to some homeless people or something like that. But, like, you know, going through the whole pregnancy struggle, like, that changed my life. my brain a lot about like how much we can give and how much you could help people out and help people start families and all that kind of stuff. And it made me feel guilty that I wasn't doing different things like that sooner. You know, so like I guess I'm an example. It's like this thing happened. It was a struggle. But it made me far more, I don't want to say like I was closed off to it. But it wasn't like top of mind like it was during that process. And now it's

extremely top of mind. It's like anytime there's some sort of change. anytime there's some sort of event or anytime anybody asked me to do a event, hey, can we attach a charitable component for the IVF stuff? It just, and then you start talking about the food banks and I'm like, oh yeah, man, we gotta help people. And then when Christmas comes around, it's like, what about a toy drive? And then it, so sometimes it takes a little bit of a catalyst in your life to propel you to go do that.

You maybe didn't need it because you had it at such a young age. But, yeah, and I mean, I just always, yeah, I remember being in fourth grade and they were, boy, we had a teacher named Ms. Freeman, I swear this woman was, was so evil, bro. And I remember there was a kid in our class, and I can remember his first and last name, his whole family because their reputation was that they were really poor. So regardless of what everybody else might have been going through or we was going in that town,

they were considered poor. Like you would like, yeah, no lights poor, like don't eat poor. And I remember lunch was so important to this kid. Because they were like, oh, this might be the only time he eats all day. She knew that. And I remember one day, that's how she punished him. No, that's cold. Oh, my God.

But what I remember is, this is fourth grade. I remember this vividly. I remember other kids in the class, like myself, going to lunch, saying, hey, keep that for such and such. And passing it to him when we got back, you know, from lunch. That's fine. So I don't know. I just come from a place for people like that people we like to give, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, and that's to community. It's different. Maybe that's probably a small town mentality. No, you're right. You right? Like, I always felt like you got to take care of you like your friends and obviously your family. Like your friends become your family. So it's never been a situation. Like I work with all my friends. Like even from high school, from college, right? So it's like trying to put people in position to do well. When you start doing that to strangers that you don't even know.

That's a, I think, a different level. I think it's very natural for people to take care of their community and the people around them, take care of your family. I love it. That I think is very human and saying. When you go beyond the people you know, when you go and you give like extraordinary amounts of money or opportunity to people that you might never even shake hands with,

that's a different level of benevolence, but that's beautiful. And that's what we would, I imagine what the point of the video is that's what we would hope would happen more. And I think your criticism of it is like, but there are a lot of these people that you even mentioned that are doing that to astronomical amounts and positively impacting these.

Bro, jailing is, and the thing I would tell Jalen Brown, don't stop. Yeah. Just because you're going to get criticism, don't stop. Don't stop. Just because you ran into a couple of people who don't want to see you invest

in your community, don't stop because I'm telling you, there's a lot of people out there, Jewish, white, black, whatever it is, who are in positions of power who will help you, in our heartbeat.

I'm sure people reached out to him once they saw that video. I'm sure that there's people in positions of power who saw that video and was like, yo, let's help this brother do whatever it is that he's doing.

Look, are you talking about it right now? Yep. Huh? Look at you talking about it right now? Oh, yeah, 100%. Absolutely. Let's pay some bills tale again. Actually, I want to shout out,

I want to shout out our boy over at mini clip. Like, this is a perfect example. We just did that charity. I'm not even trying to get you. All right. I'm not trying to get you. I swear to God.

Yeah, right. We did that charity paddle tournament. He didn't even show up. They donated $20,000 to it. That's a whole, you're going to literally make somebody's dreams come true. They're family. You don't got to be. They're going to have a family because of, and that's, for example, just talking about it, putting it out there.

You don't got to be there. Like, I hate when people, like, people be like, you guys. Someone's going to start a family because of that. You got to be in your hood. And, yo, you go away to make a way. You know what I'm. You do not have to be there. You can drop up, you can, you can organize, you know, I do the book bag drive.

What? What? He's going for it! What? He's going for it. What? He's going to catch me, y'all. He's trying to catch me, y'all.

He's trying to catch me. He's too eager. See if he's two, guys. See if he's two. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a movie I've been filming. It's a movie I've been filming. I got to get better at keeping a straight face

because when he gets worried, he looks at me. If I'm smiling, and then he gets worried. I'm not, mate. Yo, have you seen lanterns? Yes, I have. Like it? I do like it a lot. I enjoy it, man.

Let's discuss it. Let's discuss it. Did you watch the third episode? I watched all three. I seen all three. Okay. So what, all right, so this last episode, there's... Keep me mind, I know nothing about Green Lantern.

Me neither. I knew nothing about the Star. Nothing about Green Lantern. But I trust DC's TV shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. DC's TV shows have not let me down. Peace makeup, penguin. Yeah.

Fantastic. Yes. And, like, very grounded in reality for, like, a superhero show. Kyle Chandler's just a beast. The guy who's playing John Stewart is great. That's Aaron Pierre. No, that's the name, right? I think so, yeah.

That's his name, Taylor? I don't know. No, now y'all don't know. He was the Jet Ebony Magazine Beauty of the Week two years ago. It was? Some girls used to love him. When I was dating Tiana Taylor? No, that's...

Oh, Aaron Pierre? Is that Aaron Pierre? Is that Aaron Pierre? Same guy? Yeah, he don't got no beard. That's probably why he don't look... Oh, interesting. Anyway, he was great.

I mean, he was a British guy. Did you know that? No, he's British? He's British. I saw in an interview and it's like, what? He's Jamaican. I don't. Like Jamaican British or whatever?

Yeah, so anyway, so this last episode got some pushback or controversy because they thought that it was woke. I mean, listen, I don't know anything about Greenlander. I do know that John Stewart was black, but I haven't read the comics to know how comic accurate it was. So, I mean, because like, here's the thing about a lot of those comic books. That is already in the comic book, like what you would call awokeness and stuff. So if you don't know the source material.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I just enjoyed the episode. I just thought it was good television. I thought it was good. This is what I thought. I thought it was, I thought that they were, what is it called? Like, telegraph is like, what is too obvious?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, too on the note. I thought it was, I thought the theme in which people are criticizing it for is on the note. for awokenness, and it didn't have to be. Like, there's a really interesting corollary in the Green Lantern story with John Stewart. John Stewart's a black dude, and he's going to become one of these lanterns. And in order to become a lantern, you have to be fearless.

I could butcher this because I know nothing about the lantern back, so I only know what I've seen. So his dad had the opportunity to be a lantern, and the lanterns come in, like, these aliens come in, they're like, are you afraid? And the dad's like, yeah, I'm afraid. And then he loses the opportunity. Right.

What? Because it would be normal or whatever? No, I just thought it was crazy because later on in the movie when his wife was like, he's a black man in America and, you know, of course he's going to be afraid. No, I'm afraid because it's fucking aliens just a fucking me.

So the alien comes to talk to the wife and was like, well, we ask him if he was afraid, he was afraid, he's like, he's a black man in America, he's every reason to be afraid. Why wasn't she shook? Well, she didn't believe him. No, no, no. I'm talking about two reasons. I'm a random black woman in my yard

and this random white woman just walks up on me, number one, I think you're the feds, what's your problem looking for my husband? Then you just shapes it from front of me into an alien and then turn back and I just invite you in my house for coffee. She should be Greenland. How did they not pick her immediately? Where is born?

No, that's bad at an eye. John get all his feelings is from his mom. That's right. Dad is sore. Clearly. That dude that played the dad is in the running movie I'm doing. Really? Yeah, yeah.

Jay Alfon. something like that. I don't know. I just thought, I mean, listen, it's a move. I don't take superhero science fixing shit too serious. It's not about taking it seriously. It's what was interesting, maybe this is written in the original Green Lantern,

is this, at least this is what I was getting from it, is that black parents in America have to raise their kids with a level of fearlessness given the circumstances they're put in front of them, especially when this comic book is written, I don't know how long ago, decades ago, right? So what I thought was, what they're trying to say is, what a unique advantage to being a superhero?

Like, I thought the messaging is, we got to raise our kids to be fucking fearless superheroes. And now you're still in all this confidence in young black kids when they're reading this fucking comic book, and they're like, holy shit. Like this is... No, that's true. I mean, and what I thought they did in the show was they said,

there was one point where, like, the alien says to the mom, like, what do you mean? He's black. He has to be afraid. And the mom's like, well, it's different for us here. And then the mom talks to the dad and goes, listen, you know, they don't think about us here

and they don't think about us. You know what I mean? And it's like, it's a couple of these moments where it's like, you don't even need that piece of dialogue. Like, like, because the message is already there without saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like, if you don't say it, you actually let the internet fodder go,

yo, what they're trying to say is this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's elevated, it elevates the art. It was cheesy. It was good, though. It was good cheese. Yeah. I don't know, man, I'm lactose intolerant, okay?

But it was like... But I just spoke with the show. I enjoyed the show, too. But like I said, I don't know nothing about Greenlandan. I don't know nothing about John Stewart's story. Do you know the senestro? Is that the character? Sinestro?

I know, I'm familiar with Sinestro, but in the comic book, well, maybe he is in the movies, too. In the comic book, Sinestro was a person of color. Because Nestro was like... He did. He's like purpleish, pinkish or whatever. No, he was actually like a... Oh, no, he was a different alien.

You sure? I think he was a different alien. Yes. No, I thought he was like Latino or something in the comic books. Sinestro. Pull up Sinestro. Yeah, that I'm saying.

He's definitely some... He's a facial hair. He looks like some type of foreigner in the comic show. In the Enorma? He does in the TV show, too, though. What? He does. Sinestro?

Sinestro? No, Enorma. Whatever. This guy. Why is he going? He's going too hard, Alex. He's funny. He always had you just that.

I'm against you slipping. I'm against you slipping. I'm against you slipping. Oh, that's purple? I see. I just thought that was brown. That's the stuff. I just thought it was brown.

Once again, I don't know nothing about Greenland. I think it's so corny that he got to charge his ring. That shit pisses me to fuck off. No, because that shit of iPhone, bro. Like, what the fuck is that? Okay. Superhero. It was like, is that 5%?

But listen, superheroes are only interesting without their powers. Like, if you notice every Superman movie that's good, he loses his powers for some way, like, you need to normalize them so that we can relate to them. Just give me a big threat that's fucking him up and he got to dig a little deeper. A big threat is whack. Like, I want to destroy the world. Like, Hulk don't never get no weaker. That's why Hulk sucks.

When? Remember, he couldn't turn into Hulk? That was pussy. That, I hate that. Now, that, don't even talk about that. I watch Infinity War and Endgame. or Infinity War and that shit pisses me off

to this day. How the fuck did the Hulk have erectile dysfunction? And they never explained it to us like why he just didn't want to come out. Like why? Green shoe. That shit pissed me the fuck off

to this day. Were you pissed off with the Spider-Man and the mind-goblin shit? You did you do it like him you got easy to it. This whole time

I thought that I missed something. What do you mean? I thought that when you just said about the Hulk, I thought I missed a movie of why he wasn't coming out anymore. So they never explained it. He's never been gay to him. No. Why would he come about?

What are you talking about? Didn't you just say, like, they never explained why he was scared to... No, what they did, they kind of did in, well, they did in endgame, but it just, it was whack. Yeah. Why? You made him to say, like, it was a waste. You wait until the last two movies to just make Hulk pussy out and, like, I just think they had to do it because the Hulk is the type of person, the more anger he gets,

the stronger he gets. So he should have been able to get angry enough to fight Thanos. Yeah. Yes. But then the whole movie would have been done if he fucking was strong enough to fight Thanos. Yes. But nah, maybe. I don't, I don't maybe.

Listen, back to Green Lantern though. Green Lantern is so good. And D.C. needed that, bro. Because I was excited about the James Gunn, D.C., but it's been. very, very subpar. You know what they did that I think is really interesting? What? And this is no, like, trying to get you, I swear to God.

This is the, um, the first episode of the show, they did an interesting, like, retention hack thing. In lantern. In lanterns. Okay. The first episode is just a detective drama. They don't set anything up. They don't give backstory.

You're in the show immediately, right? second episode you start to get a little bit of backstory but you're still trying to solve this little mystery thing like this could be any serialized detective show it could be criminal mind it could be law and order like it's just a regular good show well-acted interesting plot

it got a little alien ship but not that much and you're trying to solve the problem third episode they give you the first episode of the show yeah so they put the pilot kind of which describes the backstory explains who these people why they got to be that after you're already into the show. And I wonder if more TV shows are going to do that because they go, if we give them the backstory of this like nerdy comic book shit,

it might alienate some HBO viewers. But if you give us a detective drama, now everybody who all hear about superhero shit is going to go, all right, I can fuck with this. Yeah. And tell you, like, women love this. Like, I'm watching this with my wife. She loves it.

And like for the fucking Aaron Pia, bro. No, no, no. But they're like- Check a panty's during the show. Damn. Damn. Damn. What?

She got... Lost to another. I'm just... Check for moisture, bro. He got to put it, bro. She got to put it in. Everybody likes this show because of what you said. Like, they started just like a regular HBO series,

and it wasn't even heavy-handed on some superhero shit. And I think people are into it a lot because of that. Yo, are we missing TV? I don't feel nothing slapping on TV, bro. I like the Lanners, but what else is on TV? That's nothing. Nothing, right? I thought I was tripping.

No, no, no, no, no. That's not true. Tires. Tires back for season four That's classic already That's four seasons in You're right like a new show Yeah

Like back for season four about I like on Hulu called Furious It's pretty good Yeah I heard where I heard people talking about Shameless and some other chick But it's a really good show People like adulting

This is a lot of good team Isn't that a few seasons in already too? There's not There's not a monoculture show this hour Which I think what's saying There's not you know what was fire You know what there's a lot of right now, there's a lot of really good.

Yeah, a lot of really good. There's no Game of Thrones. There's no stranger thing. There's no sopranos. But there's a lot, Widows Bay on Apple. Fire. Fire. I would say really good.

And like, it's a show that deals with, like, kind of like superstitious and like being haunted or whatever, right? But the way that they choose to act it out, It's actually really interesting. It's how people who are based in reality but a little superstitious would treat something. So for example, if you tell me that like a room is haunted, I'll go in it, but I'm not going to sleep in that fucking room.

Because even though I know haunted doesn't make sense and it's bullshit, I'll go, hey, yeah, see, it's not haunted, and then I'll leave. And that's kind of how they operate around anything like, what is it called, when it's ghosts, extra, Transcendual. Paranormal. And I'm like, oh shit, you made a grounded horror show based on how people would actually act if paranormal shit was happening.

You know how usually it's a choice where like the character's like, no, this makes no sense. Get the fuck out of here. That's not how you act. When someone tell you some shit is haunted, you act a little, you project that you're not scared, but deep down you're like. Terrified. Yes. You know what else is interesting about Lannards is, I don't know if it was ever.

So two, remember when they went to the ranch? Yeah, yeah, yeah, one and two. One and two? Yeah. Bro, they could have introduced some heavy racism right there. You're a black vegan man on his fucking ranch and, uh, where they had? What was the state at? Was it Wisconsin?

No, it was, uh, I think it's Wisconsin. No, it was New Mexico, right? Didn't they go to Albuquerque? I forgot what they asked. Arkansas, Arkansas. Is it Arkansas? I don't know. You just on this ranch.

Bro, once there's aliens, we all get along. Aliens are how you solve racism. I'm telling you. Because once there's something. else that threatens us, we got to find a way to figure it out. Yeah. Like there was nothing racist about the black guy on it. They shot the white guy.

And he was vegan and didn't want to eat the white man's meat. Crazy. Crazy. The white man was like, we got some tofu steaks for you. I was like, well, that's for aggressive. He also fucked his wife. Fucked his wife. And his wife is Indian or something.

Like that was super. That was a little crazy. Tell me why. It just was a little crazy. Tell me what. I don't want to talk about it. Say it, say it. I don't want to talk about it.

I'm just saying first episode, fresh out of a bar, right to the car. Oh my God. You just piping it down like that? That was a little crazy, yo. Why? Why? Why? I'm just saying, bro, it's a little crazy, yo.

But why? Why? What are you trying to say? What are you trying to say? I'm just saying you knew in town. Yeah. Nobody really knows you. You're the new guy.

You don't know this young lady. You're in a bar. You don't know how long y'all been in this bar. He said that he placed for the 49. He said he's a wide receiver for the 49. Y'all go to the car. Yo, he just ran. Did he even have a condom?

He just, you know what I'm saying? Y'all just been in that bar kicking it. You don't know how long she's been in that how long? She's been in. And they had the windows all the way up. You don't think he green lanterned a little IUD? He didn't even have to ring. He didn't even have to ring then, yo.

And yeah, he did leave it inside. That was crazy. Nah, but he ate a Wonder Candy. He ate a what? Wonder Candy's nuts spitting him mouth. There we go. Got him. Where you got that here?

That was good. Come on. Come on. That's good. Yeah. That was good. Yeah. He caught me slipping.

I'm still focused on you. Yeah. Then he caught me. I got you, Charlotte. I got you. That was crazy. I like how he got out there. That was crazy.

I like that. We wanted to tap up so bad and none of us reached out from her. He's like, I got to share this energy with somebody. That shit was crazy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What else we got, Taylor? After 30 years, Kee-Fee-D has been convicted for being, for orchestrating. So he wasn't the person-killing a two-poxie-co.

He wasn't a person who actually killed him, but he was the person who... He said he orchestrated the killing. Yeah, I listened. He earned it. And he's not... He earned what? He earned being convicted. He's been telling us he did it for the last 15 years.

He did? Yeah. What? He wrote a memoir. He was on a documentary. He did a million Vlad TV interviews. He did a proffer where he talked to the police officers, but they told him that, I guess, what was it? Did the testimony he come?

couldn't be used against him. Why would he do that? He was talking to federal authority. Why would he, does he want to go to jail? Ego. Yeah. When will everybody learn this is about ego? We live in a world right now that just, because of this media ecosystem, it helps you to

amplify your ego. People want credit for the dumbest shit. Proximity. They want to be immortalized. Listen, for the last 30 years, you've been hearing about. This Tupac's your core murder. You've been watching Tupac become a mythical, immortal figure.

Except you. And you're sitting around like, now this new ecosystem comes where, ooh, podcast, ooh, they're getting paid to do those type of interviews. And I got the most interesting story in the world. I got it all. It's been 30 years. Oh, yeah, I'm good.

I'm good. They're not coming after me after 30 years. Ego. Actually on these podcasts or in interviews saying that he orchestrated. Yes. And his lawyer said that he was just doing it for entertainment. Right. Entertainment.

So it's one or two things, bro. Either you are out here telling the truth. Or a fucking slow, buddy. Right? You're either telling the truth, right, for content, which is stupid. Or you're pretending to be involved in this murder for content, which is stupid. Yep. Okay.

Either way, you deserve to be exactly where you are. Ego, yo. These cameras and these microphones are not the problem. People's egos are. Facts. They just have to get in front of these cameras and say something. They want the credit for everything, even if it's a fucking murder. Well, you got the credit you deserve.

Oh, my God. And don't let a celebrity be. If it's a celebrity involved, they want proximity to that celebrity in any way, shape, or form. So now, Kee-D, you will go down in infamy as being the person who orchestrated the killing of one of the most beloved pop culture figures ever. Did he say who did it ever? Yes. Who did he say? Everybody in the car is dead except for him.

Oh. Yes, it was four people in the car. It was four, right, four or three? I think it was three. Two people in the car? Including him? No, it's four people. Did he say the name of the guy who shot him?

Yeah. He does he? Yeah. I think he implies that it was like his nephew or something like that. Yeah, Orlando Anderson. Yeah. Oh, it was Orlando. Yeah.

I believe, I mean, that's the story I've always. That's what he implies. He provided the gun. But, hey, man. Wow. Hey, I can't feel sorry for him. So I'm seeing this discussion come back on. Like, should people be responsible for platforming and having this guy snitch on himself?

Like, he went on a bunch of Vlad and fuse. No. where a lot of it came out. It's not Vlad fault. It's his fault. It's his fault. It's ego. He decided to get in front of that camera.

Hold on. People are upset. A little bit. I'm just hearing. Somebody killed somebody and we found out? I'm hearing. No, no, I'm hearing. What world we live in, bro?

But you know how they were calling, like, Vlad a snitch just because, like, oh, people come on Vlad and then they talk about their crimes and then they get in trouble for it. I thought they were calling. Don't go on Vlad and talk about your crimes. I know. Yo, it is astonishing how zero accountability. we have.

Man. It's like at a certain point of time, we're talking about someone who murdered Tupac. You see what I'm saying? And you're angry at the guy who asked him if he did it and he said, yeah.

That's crazy, bro. Like, aren't you glad that we know who the guy is that murdered and orchestrated the murder of Tupac? And now he's going to be serving time? Yes. Yes.

Or if you're... I think, like, there's been times we've interviewed people where it's like they might have said something that's a little question And we're like, hey, are you sure you want to keep this in? This might not go well for you.

Yeah. Should Vlad have that responsibility? No, that's different because that guy came there to have that conversation. We're not interviewing alleged murderers. You see what I'm saying? Like, he came, like, Vlad did what they do what they knew what that conversation was going to be about. That's not on Black. That's on the person.

That's not on Black. Black, what did Vlad do around? Be white. If Vlad wasn't white, I don't even think there's a country. conversation, right? Let's be honest. You're probably right. If he wasn't white. Probably right.

Let's pay some bills, man, and then come back and do some asking idiots, Taylor gang. Taylor gang, gang. Taylor, not a sailor? Taylor, not a sailor? Oh, I know. I have no idea. Him and Norris? I don't like it.

I don't like it at all. I haven't really looked at the clips. They're like calling each other. What are they calling each other? Just both of them just airing each other out. Over Maya? Oh, Yeah.

Oh, shit. Let's do some asking idiots tale of gang. You got bad stories. All right, Jojo Biscara says getting married September 6th. What's some advice? you can give for a long lasting marriage. Well, we haven't been in long lasting marriages. I guess I've been in a long lasting relationship.

I've been built my baby for 28 years, married for 14. No, 12, 12. That's long. 12. 12? I don't know, bro. I think when the person is for you, they for you. I don't know if there's any, like, advice I can give you.

Like, I can't give you a manual or any tips that make you be like, hey man you do this then you'll be with this person forever like if that person is for you there for you if you're for that person you're for that person communication and always choose your person you saw that on in a fortune cookie you don't even know what that means say what that means choosing your person like whenever

if he for instance if my man gets me annoyed and everything else like and I'm ready to be like man fuck this like I'm about to no I can't do that we have a child together and understand the other benefits that he brings to the relationship. That's not true. What if you backhand slap you?

I'm just saying, if you backhand slap you, you're not going to choose your person. Of course not. Even if you all got a child, you're going to grab that baby and be out. Yeah, but when it comes, but it's like understanding what's small issues and what's big issues.

But that's what I mean when I say if that person is for you there for you. The specificity of the backhand. I know why you have to imagine it, right? Like, it's too specific. I ain't even want to laugh. It's not funny at all. It's the destruction of her marriage,

destruction of her relationship, her family unit. But the second he said back in, you got to imagine like this motion and then that. Fucking landing the ring, boy, going across that cheek. But there's a party that's also like, why ain't you duck when you start to go here? Like, back in is enough time to get out the way, right? Like, if you're still testing him at this?

Because the wife can't believe it. Like, I know this motherfucker ain't about to slap the shit out of me. Or she thinks he's hitting the milly, like, That might be the way to get away with it. Act like you're about to get sturdy one. But no, I mean, I understand what you're saying, Taylor. But that's the same thing I'm saying when I'm saying, like, yo, when you know that person is for you, they're for you. Like, that's what love is, right?

Unconditional love is. Patience. Patience. And this shit is hard, but, like, trying to give the best intentions. But I also think it's just knowing what your partner brings to the table as well, though. Yeah, yeah, being grateful for them. Yeah. But also just like, if you can frame whatever annoying shit they're doing to you in the best possible way, it becomes way more digestible.

And I think what happens is sometimes if you're in a rut, you both start looking at each other's behavior through the lens of trying to hurt or trying to cause conflict. and if instead it's like uh she didn't actually mean it that way or uh she's actually annoyed by someone else not even me or uh i think that that can give you like a little bit more leeway and allow you to talk through things yeah it's my person but also just accepting like after your wife has a kid she's gonna hate you for a year yeah they hate you for a year they that's just part of it they hate you for a year Whatever you say is annoying. All of it is, is a, you get a year. Go with the flow, young man.

That's why a lot of people who break up, like, after the kid came out, it's like you just didn't wait a year. Like, they become normal again a year later. Like, remember that lady killed the kids, the Lindsay Clancy? Yeah. Which is so tragic and fucked up and, like, horrible. Well, what did they say that was postpartum? They said it was postpartum.

If they said that she killed her husband's. Too, go, okay, I get it. there would be no surprise. The only surprising thing is that she took it out on the kids. Like usually that's the last place that a wife goes. But if it was like I killed my husband, I killed his mom. You know what I mean? Like I'd be like, yeah, she's just being a woman about it.

That's all I would think. What else we got, tell her, gung, gung. Hilarious. M.G. Me. How does Mama T balance being a boss, a mom, and a stoner? That's a great question. Yeah, how do you hold all those fucking pillars together? Having a partner and a nanny.

Shout out, man. You're always laugh. No, no, it was a difference. Shout out, Pete. You were laughing at people's pain. Now I can see the joy and laugh at it. That's a great point. Shout out to peace.

Now say it again. Give them all the credit again. Yeah, give him that credit. You started with him. Well, it's good to have a partner. Man, shout out the peace. You can't even see. You can't spell partner without Pete.

You can't spell partner without pee. That's right. Okay. That's right. Shout out the big fucking pee. The cornerstone of that family. You know what I'm saying? The backbone of that family.

You see what the fuck we're talking about? Yup. There is no- You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm chilling on it because. Because pee here. No. But because because that's how you said, though, like,

you're going to hate you for a year. Like, he seen my good, ugly, bad, Like all of that. Yeah. And he still wants to be with me. So I appreciate that. That's what I'm saying. That's what he is.

That's the type of man he is. That man changed your life. Yeah, I had a baby. No, no, no. What was talking about? Before the baby, before the baby, man. Shout out the capital fucking P. Don't you ever disrespect that man in your life, okay?

Yo, when before the baby, there was one day when we were filming when the elevator was down. Do you remember this? And you had to come up the stairs. The landlord of this building. is the old Asian guy. You made it like one or two flights of stairs. He bursts in here. God Zira!

God Zira! He was going crazy. He's like, what is that you used to be so angry that you used to be stomping? Stomping. Stomping. I used to say that shit at the stairs. Like, why the fuck is Taylor just stomping all over the fucking place,

Prinks. You're Prince. You might be. You know why you prints? You can't spell Prince without. P. Thank you. You see the fucking talk about.

Yeah. No, no, you need to understand that. No, this is real. You understand that. And y'all was destined to be, y'all. Where are you from? Tell me you from. I'm from Pennsylvania.

Yeah. Can't spell that without. Without a P god damn. Your whole life, right, around Pee. Mm-hmm. Your whole fucking is crazy. That's how it's crazy.

Yeah. You love the P. From day one. All right. All right. If Alex wasn't in his room, man, you would love pee the most. What? Wait, I'm so confused.

Only I loves P more than you, man. That's the only person in this room. I had to do the math both words, bro. I had to do the math both of them. Shout out B, man. Give pee his flowers. Shout out the B. Please.

We're off rose. I hate you, Juggish. I mean. P. Smoke. P get high too, right? Huh? P get high too, right? Oh, yeah.

See, that's a match made in heaven. A match. Y'all roll up, go sit outside. You know what I'm saying? Shut up. Blow down. That's when you really get in that deep conversation. But that's what I'm kind of be honest with you.

Like, when we first met, we talked for like four or five hours. But we were talking about, like, deep shit. But you have a baby now. It's not possible to have a conversation for more than three minutes. That's not true. When the baby sleep. Baby sleep. Go outside of luck.

It's a tired. Especially on weekends. No, we have a lot of conversation, a lot. That's actually the best shit in the world, Joe. On weekends, when the kids are in the bed. You go outside. Me and my wife do that shit, go outside. Get a bottle of wine, do an edible, and just motherfucking vibe.

Man. Like, I got a couple raccoons. I got to get the fuck out of my yard. Why did God make raccoons, yo? There is no reason. What? There is no reason for God to have made raccoons, yo. Let me think on it.

I don't know any reason. They're so cute. No, they're not, man. Fuck all that, yo. Them shit I have, them shit on hungry. Between a raccoon and a squirrel, I'm good on them, man. Man, I went outside. Squirrels are lit.

No, fuck squirrels. They got into my parents' house twice. I'm cool with squirrels. I'll take a squirrel all day over a raccoon. Raccoon come in my parents' house. They can keep them. Squirrels are rats, though. Squirrels are rats.

Nah. Broke through my parents' house twice, man. Yeah, that's right. Like, went through my, went through the window. Pain. Bro, we had somebody cleaning at the house. What do you mean? Like the shade.

Shades? It's not shades, though. The screen? Yeah, the screen. That's what I'm going to say, broke through it. We had some, I had somebody come to the house and they was doing some cleaning. And they threw something away. They wasn't supposed to throw away, but the bag was still outside.

And it was like 9 o'clock at night. Uh-oh. And I was pissed. Like, why the fuck would they throw this away? I was angry. I'm walking out the house all bad. I come out the garage. That motherfucker was standing on top of my trash can and he looked up at me.

I turned right back around. I ain't make no noise. I ain't do nothing. I ain't run. I just turn right back around. Told the wife, y'all, some motherfucking raccoon on the top of that trash can. God damn. And did your wife go and getting out there like a goddamn champ?

That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's how you make a green lantern. He's not getting chosen. You're closing for the ring. You scared of...

Right. It's so funny. I almost said just the... Nope. And the other day, we sit... Listen, the other day we sit... I'm sitting on the balcony and like one of the balconies at the house is like right, like it's outside of our bedroom. So I'm sitting outside the balcony.

Me and my wife got that drinking, we kicking it. It's late. We're playing music. And you know how you can just feel something? Like you can feel, like you can just feel a presence. I look to the left. It's two of the biggest motherfucking. raccoons just walking on the ground, like in the backyard. Wasn't even trying to hide or nothing.

Come living the city, man. I'm like, why the fuck the God make y'all? What about possums? Didn't you have to do a lot of possums? The worst. Yeah, I would say possums are worse. Like, why God? I thought, yeah, I didn't even know what?

Possoms and raccoons for what? No, raccoons are kind of cool looking. Possums are just a huge rat. You think raccoons were not cool until guardians of the galaxy, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The audience of the guy. Swipers, maybe swipers. And see, y'all are making fun of me when I was like, why is you a raccoon with a gun?

All right. You got this throwing the part of them. No, no, no. You don't remember when I was saying that you were laughing at me. Why were we laughing at you? Because I didn't understand why there was a raccoon in space. And y'all was like, y'all can't get mad at it. I would freak the fuck out.

Yeah, that would scare the shit out of me. They can happen. Imagine you in space, bro. Imagine your space. Oh my God, I couldn't take it. You go to a spaceship and there's some raccoons. You see what I'm saying? Oh, my God, man.

Did you want more? Ninth Mercenary said, Would you rather have mind-controlling abilities or the ability to read minds? Mind-controlling abilities or the ability to read mind. Mind-control. That's not even a hard question. I don't know, you know.

Would you rather have mind-controlling abilities or the ability to read mind? read minds. I don't want to control nobody's mind. Yeah, exactly, because life will not be enjoyable if you can do that, man. Yeah, you're choosing if you want to, though. You don't have to control everyone's minds. Eventually, you're just going to not choose, and then now you're just an evil tyrant. That's the beauty of life. The beauty of life is that we all make choices. Yeah. And I don't think human beings, we don't give ourselves enough credit for the good choices that we make. If we were, if life was a batting percentage, human beings overall are

batten a pretty good percentage. And what do you mean by that? Because every day, and I say this all the time, every single day we wake up, we are literally at the mercy of other people. We are relying on other people to be civilized, to be sane, and to treat you the way you want to be treated.

And vice versa, right? I got to treat people the way that I want to be treated. Every single day. We just saw the shit that happened in Times Square yesterday. Yeah. The woman stabbed two people in Manhattan. Then the police end up killing her in Times Square. Oh, my God.

What if you ran into that lady yesterday? You're just minding your fucking business. And she got knives and she decided to stab you in your stomach. That is... Does she kill the people? She killed one day. One of them was a 30... Just came off maternity leave.

You didn't see the video? The woman was on maternity leave? She'd just come back to work this week. No. The woman that she killed. The woman died, 30 years old. She was vice president of the Bank of America, they said. Oh, and was it targeted, like I'm going to target

Louis James... Was it like a Luigi Mangeoni type of? No, she came out of the subway and she just stabbed two... That's so sad. Stabbed like a 68-year-old something man and then a woman, 32-year-old woman. And then the police shot and killed, right? But my point is, nobody's expecting to run into that. That's...

I don't want to say rare, but if you look at the overall amount of interactions that you have with humans on a regular basis, that doesn't really happen. We see it a lot, but that doesn't happen as much as we, it probably could. And you're sure it had nothing to do

with Bank of America. Yeah, she was out of her mind. You didn't see her. Well, I mean, so was Luigi, but like... No, but you didn't see the... Yeah, you didn't see the clip. Yeah. She sees the video, like, it's cops behind her

and cops in front of her and she starts doing some... Yeah. Like, she starts spinning the knives, like, type shit. Was it at the Bofa building? No. I was on Times Square, 42nd. Bofa is...

God, don't give a fuck. He does not care. Bank of America. I know that. But he still was going to try to get me if one of us would have felt. Bofa is Bank of America. Yeah, I know that.

Sure. But you, that was, you was, you was going, I got him now. You was like, yeah. You was getting greedy because you got both for them. But you see what I'm saying? You wanted to get her so bad

that you would get him now. Nah, bro, come on. Look, look how she. Nah, this is fucking terrible. Why is that guy behind her filming with the fucking camera. Come on, it's time square. Nah,

yes. Watch this, though. I don't want to watch it, bro. Is it killing? Am I going to see killing? No, I think they cut it. Yeah, they cut it off before.

Oh, they even cut. No, I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I didn't see the killing part. I don't think this is one of them edited videos, though. How old was she? Who?

She was 49. Oh, no. This is tragic, man. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop. Yes, it is. They're going to shoot it right now.

Yes, they are. Yeah, but you don't see it like that. You mean they don't see it like that, Taylor? But I will say, rest in peace to that young lady who got killed by this woman. This is a, everybody saying that the police shouldn't have killed her. I don't know what else they wanted the police to do. You got it. What else you want them to do?

A fucking 747 was about to land on 40 seconds. I don't know what else you want the police to do in that situation. Those are a small night. They were tasing her at first. I thought they missed the tate. Yes. They were tasing her down. She had like an elephant.

They were tasing her at first. You know she already stabbed two people. She conjures a spell. It was had like, like, She started conjuring a spell. Do you want a portal to open up over Times Square? I thought Dr. Strange was about it. You see what the fuck I'm saying?

Mind you, she also said she'll kill them too. NYPD stopped the incursion, bro. Okay? They stopped the incursion, yo. I don't care what y'all say. What, as always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right.

But if you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right to, it's the brilliant idiotous podcast. Thank you for listening.
