Yep, Shalamin Gai. Andrew Shultz. We are the Brilliant Idiot's podcast. Back for another week of brilliant idiotness. Hesekiah Walker. Hello. How you feeling, my brother? Man, I feel, I feel, I'm sad, bro.

Why? Because my mayor, man. Oh, you voted for Mayor Adams? I don't live in New York. I work here. You voted for Marley-A-A-Doh. I don't think I voted for him, but I like him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I really, I like him because he was doing a... Actually, I don't really have any good reason why I like him, but I saw him do it. He was doing a speech once somewhere. I forget. And they were like, questioning him and like question his experience. And he goes, well, you do it then.

And the whole audience just shut the fuck up. And I was like, that is the best way to handle politics. Always a good answer. We cry about politicians all the fucking time. None of us want to do this shit. Nobody want to do the job. You don't pay you no money. It's all the scrutiny in the world.

You get hated by half the people. Yeah. And you make $100,000 a year. Yeah. Fuck out of here. He probably had to take a pay cut from when he was a policeman. At least you can take bribes. I think I read the day that he was making $258 a $1.

some shit like that a year. But imagine making that much money versus having the second most powerful job in the country. Mayor of New York's the second most powerful job in the country. You think what's a powerful job in Cali? Yeah. Really? They got a gay guy running California now.

No. Gavin Newsom? Gavin and gay. No disrespect to all the gay guys out there, you know what I'm saying? When you see a handsome man... It's a compliment to them. Exactly. When you see a handsome man, you're like,

man, you could be out here knocking them all down. All of them. Man, you got it. Well, maybe it's... Yeah. Captain Freak off. Or maybe we're missing up. What you mean?

Maybe he's knocking all the bussy down and we're missing out. We're missing out Gavin or we're missing out on the busy? Yeah, we are missing out on the bus. I don't know. We just don't like it. It's like I don't like cilantro, but I'm sure people that do enjoy it. I hate it. I think it's awful.

But I'm sure the people that like it, like Mexican. It's an acquired taste. It is. It is an acquired taste. To be fair. I'm not going to acquire it. That's a fact. He's been married twice.

He was married to. Oh, yeah, he's married to your man's, girl. Why is it my man's? Why is it my man? Because he'd be leaving comments on your post? Yeah, but he was my man. Hold on. Donald Trump, Jr., right?

Junior. Why is he my man's, bro? When he was winning, he was my man's, but now, you know. Shulte Flippfoss over here. Sheltie, what's up, Kamala? Kamala, you're out here killing it, Kamala. Donald Trump, Jr., he was married, he's married to, no, Donald's Jr.

That was his second wife. right? He stole Gavin's beard. Yeah, come on, man. You're telling me Gavin's not gay? No, he's not, bro. Why do you think that? Look at him. His mouth? I never looked. Come on, bro. No, I never looked. I just know he's like, he fits the California

aesthetic. Tall. Second when we started talking about gay shit, you just need something in your hand, bro. You got to grab it. You just need it. I got to grab it. Everybody Now I'm not playing gay no more, yeah. You don't want to make him horny. Yo, the incredible bulk would be funny.

The incredible bulk, like this big gay green guy, this big gay green guy. Oh, you don't want him to make him horny. You don't want to like him when you don't. You wouldn't like him very much. That would be insane, man. This dude just gets a big green bulk of his pants. Every single time. You don't want to make him horny.

Salute the Gavin Newsom, though, man. No, I don't know if he's gay, man. I'm just talking shit. That's all. It's a podcast. That's what we do. Okay. Mayor Adams.

What happened with Mayor Adams, man? Pull it up, Chris. I just pull up a headline. Art, somebody pull up the headline. Free Mayor Adams, bro. Free Mayor Adams. He's not even arrested. I don't need to turn himself in until next week.

Oh. Yeah, you don't even turn himself in until next week. Well, stay free, Mayor Adams. We fuck with you. It's interesting, right? Because I'm starting to see something about public service. Ooh. I think that we have to start paying public servants top dollars.

Wait a minute. I love that you said this, by the way. We have to. It's the same thing with teachers. It's the same thing with... Whoa. No, just public servants. Any public service.

No teachers, too, man. We have to pay these people top dollar because, as we just said, they're already doing jobs nobody else wants to do. Right. They're making little to no money, right? Taking all the shit in the world. Yep. It's too easy to entice them to do the wrong thing if you're not paying them correctly.

Now, I'm not making no excuse this for. No, no, no, no. You make a great point where it's like, I think the specific thing, it's tough, obviously, with teachers. Yeah, I think if you have, like, a heart, you want teachers to get paid more. Yeah. You appreciate the fact that, like, they are responsible for our children nine hours a fucking day. Come on, man. And you want a nickel and dime them.

That's a little ridiculous. And they get mad when they get the only fan. right? Or when they suck one of the kid's dick, you probably don't even give them enough money for food. You know what I mean? Like, a girl got to eat. You know what I'm saying? Or God. Or God. God. God, we got some munchy over there. We got some munches.

We got some munches over there. What I'm trying to say is this is really our fault. This is our fault for not compensating these teachers more. Fucking terrifying. Terrifying. And Eric Adams. And Eric Adams. No. But the caveat that I would make is you cannot give people positions of immense power and not compensate them financially along with it because what will happen is that they will be susceptible to bribes. Absolutely. I think in Singapore, the president or whatever the fuck they got out there, I think makes like three mil a year. Three mil. I think that they pay their

their. So that's my question. What's a bribe proof number for the mayor of New York City? Exactly. So it's like there's no such thing as a bribe proof number. You have to have some with integrity, but if you got a job where you're making millions a year or you're making something like that, you're less susceptible to 10 grand from the Turkish embassy or whatever the fuck it is. A hundred thousand. They said that

Mayor Adams is charged with bribery and fraud. He said he's being a, Damien Williams, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said Adams took over 100 grand and grasped and used his powers to help Turkey. So here's the thing. That turkey shit is probably bullshit. And there's a lot of different angles to this.

Like, my understanding from what I heard from people is that there was a few Biden, what are called surrogates, which means these are people in powerful positions of government that supported Joe Biden, right? And Mayor Adams was one of them. And then during the whole migrant crisis in New York, he spoke out against Biden. And then ever since that, all of a sudden, there's an investigation. There's this turkey thing. But he wasn't the only person. Like, it was plenty of people who turned around and started saying, like, okay, this immigrant shit is too much.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but they might not have been the surrogates for Biden. Yeah. So it was a big slap in the face. Now, here's the thing that's interesting, though. Because I was talking to some people that I don't want to say who is, but they were telling me kind of like how government works a little bit. Like every mayor of every town, okay, city, whatever, gets money.

The way you pay them is not directly. What you'll do is like the mayor will host a dinner and you'll buy a table at the dinner for $10,000. And you know if you want to get your building code Push through or rezoning you have to buy three tables at the mayor's dinner his charity softball dinner That's that's lobby. That's everybody does that. That's what I'm saying In this situation What I find peculiar is that it's so egregious like there are systems set up for the politicians get rich

Look at every politician that entered office. They come out twice as rich Clearly they're making money. Don't just take an on for. loop across the table. There has to be something more to this. That's why I think, I don't disagree with you. He's indicted on five federal public corruption charges, including bribery and wire fraud. Here's the thing about when you go against the grain. Now, let's just say hypothetically, hypothetically speaking, Eric Adams is right. He was a surrogate. He went against the grain, questioned the Biden administration. They got upset. They got there get back. You can't get them back if there's nothing.

to get back. You understand what I'm saying? If you're clean, if they don't have nothing on you, because these, these things are nothing until they want them to be something. The question is, I don't think you could get to that level of power without something on you. Like, I don't think they let you get there. Damn. You know what I mean? Like, they got something on Kamala. They got something on Biden. They got something, they got something on everybody. And that's why you're allowed by the administration to reach that level, because they know it ain't point time. It hits the fan. Yeah. So once again, I've said this before, and I've said, saying a million times, President Barack Obama must have been the cleanest human being walking

the face of the other. Or? Because even your ops know. Even your ops know, you bullshit. I mean, Tucker brought that guy on that said that Obama was getting a little Gavin Newsom back in. Stop. I'm supposed to be the gay one here. What?

What? I'm just saying. Tucker brought on the guy who said he gave him the Gavin News. The Gavin is great. He gave him some gab. Give him somebody to Gavin? That is a little wild thing. Gavin.

I was a while. show just trying to make you gay this fine. You're not, Gavin's not gay. He's just handsome. It's my insecurity. He is. He is. He's a good. It's my insecurity, Gavin. I apologize. I'm looking at the indictment. It was unsealed on Thursday. Prosecutors said the scheme began when he was a top elected official in Brooklyn,

continued when he was mayor. The investigation focused on whether Eric Adams conspired with the Turkish government to receive illegal foreign campaign contributions in exchange for acting on their behalf. And the acting on their app was like allowing them to build something for their embassy or some shit. Yeah, it says, like, get the fuck out of here. Like, that makes you not qualified to be mayor because you let the Turkish people build an embassy somewhere. Like every single real estate developer in the city hasn't bribed the mayor in some way, shape, or form. Oh, absolutely.

Fuck out of here. Because the benefits included luxury travel, free and discounted Turkish airline tickets and free meals and hotel rooms from wealthy foreigners and at least one Turkish government. Can I say something in Charlemagne? of course. Why I don't believe this? Because he's still bald. If Mayor Adams all of a sudden came out with a Scotty hip-up pro,

I'd be like, that motherfucker's corrupt. That motherfucker's going to Turkey and he's taking everything that they got. But the fact that he's still bald lets me know that that man is pure. It's a Mr. Adams pressure official that the New York Fire Department to permit a new Turkish consulate building

in Manhattan despite safety problems. A fire department official overseeing the safety assessment said he was told he would lose his job if he did not follow the order. Jesus Christ, man, come on, bro. Also, all this bureaucracy around building is

bullshit, too. Like, every one of these dudes is getting bribed. All these people that are signing off on your plumbing or your electric. Half of them don't even have legit papers to even do to work. The whole thing is a giant honeypot of corruption. There's got to be something deeper than just this $100,000 for the Turkish

Shepard. This is crazy, too. In the indictment, Eric Adams, the defendant, continued to conceal the benefits he received from foreign national seeking to gain influence over him. Adams did not report any of the 2019 gifts he received from the airline manager, auto promoter, on his annual disclosure form. In addition, in March 2019, while it's changing text messages, to plan another possible trip to Turkey in which the airline manager would arrange travel for Adams, the Adams staffer texted Adams to be on the safe side.

Please delete all messages you see me. That's a little crazy. Adams responded always do. On June 22nd, 2018, the same day as the fundraising event just described, the Adams staffer and the promoter discussed by text message, a possible trip by Adams to Turkey. The promoter stated in part, fundraising in Turkey is not legal, but I think I can raise money for your campaign off the record. The Adam staff staffer inquired, how will Adams declare that money here? The promoter responded, he won't declare it, or we'll make the donation through. an American citizen in the U.S., a Turk.

I'll give cash to him in Turkey, or I'll send it to an American. He will make a donation for you. The Adam Staffer replied, I think he wouldn't get involved in such games. They might cause a big stink later on, but I'll ask anyways. The Adam Stafford then asked, how much do you think would come from you? Question Mark. The promoter responded, max 100 grand. The Adam Staffer wrote 100 grand.

Do you have a chance to transfer that here? We can't do it while Eric is in Turkey. to which the promoter replied, let's think. After this conversation, the Adam Staffer asked Adams whether the Adam Staffer should pursue the unlawful foreign contributions offered by the promoter. And contrary to the Adam Staffer's expectations, Adams directed that the Adam Staffer pursued

the promoter's illegal scheme. Oh, one more pocket, this is funny as shit. The Adam Staffer also agreed to speak with FBI agents and falsely denied the criminal conduct of herself and Adams, among others. At one point during her voluntary interview, the Adam Staffer excused herself to a bad, And while there, deleted the encrypted messaging application, she had used to communicate with Adams, the promoter, the Turkish official, the airline manager, and others.

She deleted WhatsApp during her interview. I mean, that's, that's, that's, I mean, she's a real one. Come out with your hands up, guys. She's a real one. Hey, come out with your hands up. They got us. They got you. Yo, and here's the thing.

Think about this. This happens to every mayor, right? Oh, man. mayor and I wonder if they're basically just using this now they're like what if he eventually becomes a senator what if he eventually becomes he has like a cabinet position right then the turkish government goes hey by the way we don't want to make a public that we bribed you when you're a mayor so do us a favor and give us this you know they said that they said they specifically targeted him because they thought he had a trajectory trajectory up so it's not even about the embassy now it's

about this money now. It's the mayor of New York's second most powerful position in government and you are going to go somewhere with huge influence right after that and they want to know they got their hooks in. I want to point out that shows you such a tried and true New Yorker. Yeah. That he keeps saying

the mayor of New York City is the second most powerful person in government. All of government. I would say it's the first. I always say it's the first. Forget the vice president. Yeah. Okay. Forget the speaker of the house. The mayor of New York City is the second most powerful person in government.

The things he says, he has the second most powerful mouth in government. Gavin Newsom would be the first. Nah. Secretary Pete. Yes. Yo, the fact that we didn't say one woman, we need to be congratulated. There's no sexism in this podcast. This is only the celebration of homosexuals.

This is the brilliant idiotist podcast. Gavin News from the straight. I had said to here once I was saying again. He's a straight man. It loves vaginas. Mayor Adams, man, this is such. Shout out of Pete, though. Who's Secretary Pete?

God damn. I don't know, man. I just know that I would love to see public service, elected officials making more money so they aren't subject to situations like this. And listen, Mayor Adams came on Breakfast Club. Mayor Adams said,

hey, there's an attack happening on black mayors all across the country. The real focus should be on our national government that's saying, why are you doing this to New York? Why you, check out what they're doing. They're doing it to New York. They're doing it to Chicago. They're doing it to Los Angeles. They're doing it to Houston. What is the same in all those cities?

All black men. All black men. And so what we're saying, same thing that I'm. going through here, my brother Johnson is going through. My sister Bass is going through. My brother Turner is going through. So our folks, what they wanted to happen, Governor Abbott wanted to happen, we're going to turn these of cities against their mayors. We're going to create this environment where they're all going to go against their mayor. Go Google what they do unto my brother in Chicago. Go Google what they do unto Sister Bass. So the cities have now turned against these black mayors

that are making real change for the first time. My guy Marty Smalls, he got indicted like a week ago as well. What happened? Him and his wife. Hey, it was something silly. It's something, it's so silly. Like murder? No.

It's like he disciplined his daughter or something. I'll look up the case in a second. You're talking about Atlantic City. In Atlantic City, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You saw that? What was it for? What was the case again? Child abuse, I think, essentially.

But he spanked his daughter or something? It's like a teenage daughter. I didn't. Yeah. It's something strange, silly like that. What an indictment? So here's the thing. Now, you get indicted because you're Mayor Eric Adams, right?

You get indicted and you say, hey, it's because I was against the Biden administration. Now you say it's an attack on black mayors. All of that may be true, but you got to be clean. You can't have anything like this. You know what I mean? You can't have anything they can use against you. I hate when people say things like, well, he got set up. Yeah, but if he didn't, if he wasn't into what he was into,

then he wouldn't got set up. He wouldn't got set up. It would also help if you've been doing a good job. I mean, he's been doing a terrible job. Has he? Yeah. I don't know. Like, how do you judge the job of the mayor?

I think we're comparing it to like Bloomberg where he would just spend his own money all the time and then we got spoiled. R.R. Giuliani, even though, you know, Giuliani had, you know, terrible policies in regard to the policing, especially for black and brown people, but it definitely cleaned the city up. What are you trying to say? What? What do you, what? We had terrible policies when it came to black and brown people.

But you're saying it worked? that you're saying? I mean, it definitely cleaned the city of. Interesting. It's 100%. It cleaned the city. I mean, it just wasn't fair. It wasn't fair practices.

Like, Chris had a good idea one time, even though it's illegal. Stop and frisk, all of us. Yes. A certain amount of white people every week. You got to stop and frisk 10,000 white people no matter what. That's illegal. Just to even it out. You can't do that.

Why not just evenly stop and frisk? Because they had a chance to do that and they didn't do it. Now you've got to force them to stop and frisk white people. Oh, you want to do. Only white, like a red race. No, I want to do everybody, but there's a mandated number of white people. I got to go outside. Don't see me.

I have mandate. Just evenly stop and frisk. Then why didn't they do that the first time? Because the cops are, you know, racially biased. The cops are trying to, you know, racially. I'm cool with that. If that gets guns off the street, if I walk outside knowing I'm going to get stop and frisk once a week, yeah.

I'm okay with that. Oh, no, man. You're okay getting stop and frisk once a week. If it means that Duns would disappear from the streets of New York City. You know who that used to happen to? Chris Rock. Chris Rock would leave his neighborhood in Alpine, New Jersey, and would get stopped no less than once or twice a week. He would document it all the time.

It happened for a long time. This was like Instagram and Twitter. I don't know if it was Instagram or Twitter. It was one of the social media apps. He would literally get stopped and pulled over leaving his neighborhood at Alpine, New Jersey, once or twice a week. He documented this for a while. it happens man people take advantage of their power

but you know I just want I don't even know if honestly giving an elected official more money would stop them from doing corrupt things no it just might and it also might mean that you're going to get the people that are doing the job just for the money not doing the job because they want to be a public servant yeah it's hard man this politics shit is hard

bro but Chris does bring up a good point if you're beloved people turn a blind eye right if you're a beloved If you're beloved, people come to your defense. It's like, oh, this is some bullshit. And the other thing, obviously, this is why I was trying to say. I was stalling because I lost my train of thought, but I got it back this now.

I do not like how Democrats are so quick to throw each other under the bus. They do this shit all the fucking time. Whether it's Al Franken, whether it's fucking Governor Cuomo. It's just like, yo, the guy is still innocent until proven guilty. There's no need AOC or anybody else to tweet,

you know, this guy needs to resign. This is why y'all lose a lot of the culture. wars because Republicans don't do that. Republicans, Republicans don't do that after they get found guilty. Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? After they get found guilty. They're like, nope, hold it the fuck down.

Like, there should be nobody rushing to tell Mayor Adams to resign in this era. Because nobody's held to the same standard. So being that nobody's held to the same standard, how about everybody just be quiet and let do process, do what it does, you know? Unless, of course, you know, if he gets ousted, one of your guys gets in. You know what I mean? Like, if you know you call him for Eric Adams to resign, will enable maybe you to run if you want to in a special election.

Now it's advantageous. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. You think that's what's going on here? There's a whole foul play. I read the day that if he gets ousted, Juman Williams will become the mayor. He becomes, but only for 90 days or something. Why, is he lieutenant mayor or whatever it is?

I forgot his side. I think it's the position that gets elevated. Yeah. And so he'll only be it for 90 days and it'll be some type of special election. Yeah. Well, I like Bradlanders. I don't know if he'll make it, but the name that I saw last night is Cuomo. It's going to pivot and run for mayor.

Which Cuomo? The former governor. Mario. Yes. Well. Is that Mario? No, Mario's the father. Andrew.

Yes. Andrew is going to run. Wow. Wow. Andrew was a good governor, yo. Cut it out. Until he wasn't. But wasn't he doing some corrupt shit, too? Well, he gets a lot of criticism for how he handled COVID. Also with the ladies.

They loved him for COVID. No, no, no, no, no. He was putting old people into the old people home. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But also there was a, the lady shit, right? Didn't he get some, like, sexual stuff? Yeah, yeah, he definitely was. But even then, I remember being on Bill Mar. I remember having a conversation on Bill Marr. And I remember saying, what is the difference between Governor of and President Biden.

So it's not like President Biden didn't have allegations. That's a good point. Why? But if you go back and remember 2020, everybody acts like they forgot this. When President Biden had those allegations, there was so many of those people saying he should step down. Everybody was saying he should step down. You know, they believe the women, all of this type of stuff. So it's just like it's all politics.

That's what I'm saying. It's no consistent standard to any of it. So being there's no consistent standard to any of it, why I call for the law? mayor to resign. Yeah, it's a little bit. Just relax for a minute. It is very. Am I tripping, Chris?

You're not tripping. It's innocent to proven guilty. He's just doing a terrible job, in my opinion. So I don't. But that's not a reason why he should be convicted of corruption. Like, you could make, he has his term, right? You voted him. I don't know if he voted for him, but he's allowed to serve that term.

Right now, it seems like people are supporting ousting him simply because he's not doing a good job. But that's, well, a lot of this is also the allies and friends you make. And I think he also did a poor job. Oh, yeah, he's not beloved that in no way she's. I think he took care of his inner circle, which was his mistake. He promoted a lot of people that he's been connected to over the years. Yeah. They all turned out to be

corrupt, it seems, from these indictments, but I don't think he built alliances in the wider political world. That's the thing. That's what you've got to realize. It's like, you have to politic this shit. Like, literally, politics is building those relationships. All it is in relationships. Saluta O'Leh, Yimmy,

O'Norin. We had her on. She's a public defender. We had her on with Mayor Adams earlier this year. And I mean, she pressed them on all this stuff. Like she's always been a very vocal, you know, opponent of Mayor Adams.

Never been a fan of him. You know, but she's, to me, she's one of the people that if you are an elected official, those are the people you should talk to. You should talk to the constituents that give you pushback. You should talk to your constituents that, you know, don't agree with you.

Because that one constituent represent so many people. So when they see you having a conversation with that person, and OLA Emmy was representing, like, I had to, I mean, it was a big conversation, you know, and it was a big interview. And, you know, people were watching that interview and they saw themselves and her because she was speaking for them.

But she brought up all of this stuff. She bought up, the feds taking his phone and the corrupt, like she bought it all up. Enforcement does something every day. It's bad. But when they do something against Eric Adams, Oh, it's good. You know, come on my hand.

I said what happened. I didn't say that it was good. I don't think it's good that our mayor is being investigated for a legal campaign. I don't think that's good. I came back because of not that they had to take my phones. That is, that is true. And you should. I said it happened that day.

No, it did not happen that day. I said it was reported before you were going. It wasn't reported wrong. Yes, it was mayor. Adam. Was reported wrong. Were your phone? Did the FBI sees your phone?

Did they search your top aids? Did they search the home of several of several of people? Okay. Yes. That's what I said. And I didn't say that was a good thing. I don't think it's good. I'm there.

It's being investigated. And, you know, I saw a lot of those clips getting reposted last night. So I saw a good interview. My girl was getting interviewed by Oprah and. Who to VP? Yeah. And, uh. Madam VP.

And there was a moment. She like, she almost had a knockout moment. Like it was perfect. And then she kind of like fell back on it. I hate it. You saw it, right? I know exactly what you saw. She had the moment where I was like, oh, the election's hers.

Now, a lot changes every single week, something changes. But do you have it? It's one, two. It's gun owner two. I'm pretty sure that's it. Oh, my God. I would hope that's it. I'm a gun owner, Tim Walz is a gun.

I did not know that. If somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot. Yes, yes. I hear that. I hear that. Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later. If somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot.

Yes, yes. I hear that. I hear that. Probably should not have said that. That's the only thing that's frustrating, right? She had a real moment as her. She says a hilarious, funny thing that I think there's bipartisan support for. You break into my house.

Yes. You're getting shot. What person? wouldn't agree with that. That's the whole point of owning guns. I want to have like a longer conversation just about like kind of what's happening culturally. But like there's a perfect example

of Democrats pulling to the center. Democrats were kind of caught up in the rainbow ship for a little bit. They went too crazy and it was like super far left because of the phones because of social media. They thought that represented everybody. They thought that represented America. And they were so off.

And and but now you see like a line like that. You see even see her. And it's coming back to this like very almost like centrist ideology old school Democrats. The Republicans are so seduced by conspiracy theory. And take this from someone who loves conspiracy theories. The whole party is wrapped up in conspiracy theories. Like everything. But what I'm saying is the the Republican Party is so far right to the point where

Trump is even during the debate going, they're eating cats and dogs. Like that like it's a knee jerk reaction. The whole thing is conspiracy. Every institution is corrupt. They might be. Don't believe any history. Don't believe any pharmaceutical drug. Don't believe.

Don't believe nothing. Everything is out to destroy you. It's so far right that now I think people are starting to go, they're like getting exhausted. There's like a fatigue. We want here. We've said this all the time. We don't want this.

We don't want that. We want it right here in the center, baby. So it's not the party that has the younger candidate. It's the party that doesn't go too far to the, the extreme and it looks as if the Democrats have pulled to the middle and the Republicans are still reaching way to the right.

President Obama was a... J.D. Vance, way to the right. Even Tucker is a mouthpiece. Way to the right. Republican. Bill Clinton was a centrist. But for a while... Biden was a centrist. Yeah, but for a while, the party was supposed to unicorns and now I feel

like for whatever reason it's pulled back a little bit. Listen, we got to go back, right? There was a turn when that you know, Mama didn't agree with gay marriage. Is this the truth to the matter? Like, his first time he didn't agree with it. Like, he came around later on, right? And I think that, I don't have a problem with gay marriage.

I think that's, like, people should have the right to be miserable if they want to be miserable. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's fine, right? He heard of fire response to that. What? I was asking his protester, do you believe in gay marriage? He goes, I believe a gay man should be able to marry gay woman. That's shit.

Hit! You didn't see that color rainbows? Did you see that color rainbows? But to this point, listen, I'm too way. My wife is two-way. I was in New Orleans over the weekend. And I was doing a fantastic conversation at a ball-winning company books with a young lady named Cherise Gibson. Sherriese Gibson works for the news station down there in New Orleans. And she was talking to me about a chapter in my book called The Language of Politics is Dead,

where I'm saying it's okay for politicians to speak straight. Right. It's okay for them to talk straight. Right. And she asked me about this particular moment right here with the VP because I had commented on the moment and she saw me comment on commenting on it. And I was saying how, because the BP goes, I probably shouldn't have said that. Yes, you should. You should 100% say that.

So I looked at the crowd, I go, how many people in here are a legal gun owner? More than half the crowd, we're in the world. More than half the crowd, raises their hand. I go, if somebody comes in your, breaks in your house tonight,

what are you going to do? Shoot them. So you're talking just like the people. Bro. That's a problem, though. What's the problem? that that's everybody's reaction to shoot. I mean, I get it.

Chris, you have two daughters. If somebody breaks into your house and you have a gun, you're going to defend yourself. I don't have to think about it as a hypothetical. I've been in a house while someone broke into it. All right, let's make it. You know, somebody broke in my house

when I was a kid. Chris, it was fucking terrifying. And if your dad had a gun, you would have bucked off. My dad said if I had a gun, I mean, I'm still traumatized by it, but like, my dad fought the guy off. Yeah.

He should have had a gun. The cops came, heard screaming and breaking, and, you know, we got the guy on the cop car. My mom attacked the cop car. I mean, it was a whole scene. You know what the cops had? What? Guns. Yeah.

Well, so the real shit was, I was barricaded in my sister's room. How old were you? It was like seven or eight. I was. You was old enough to fight, Chris. You should have helped you. Yeah. Why are you?

You should have helped you. You step up, bro. And go help your fucking father. Yeah. It was a bad. I mean, you're in New York? I was in Philadelphia. I was in my room.

My mom woke me up in the middle of the night, said someone's in the house with an axe. Come with me. With an axe? Yeah, got broken with an axe. And I was like, what? And she dragged me into my sister's room. I lay on the floor of my sister's room.

My mom barricaded herself against the door. All I, my sister had a big canopy bed. All I wanted to do was get under the bed. Yeah. And I was so terrified. It was two feet away. I could not move. move. And my mom is like up against the door and then the door starts shaking. And she's like,

shining shit. And he's trying to get in the accident to the fucking door. He's trying to get in the room. He's trying to get in the room. And the door's like shaking and pounding and pounding and pounding. I'm like, just get under the bed. Just got it. I couldn't get under the bed. All this like grab a lamp. I'd be like couldn't move paralyzed. And finally the door starts literally coming off the hinges. And I just see a guy come in with a gun. I just see a gun. And I'm like, I'm like, well, it's over. Who had the gun? It was a cop.

So what happened was my dad had fought the dude off. My mom was shaking because she was so scared. She started making the door shake. And then she started screaming. He's coming in the room. The cops and my dad had already tackled the guy. They thought there was a second dude in the house. So they ran back into the house.

But the scared her she got, the more the door started shaking. And then they really did kick down the door. And I just saw the cop come with the gun and everything was fine. But. Key words. Gun. Okay, but my point is... Also, your dad, that was very brave.

Shout out to your dad. My dad very specifically didn't have a gun. And I used to, my dad had a town watch. We used to drive around our neighborhood with a little walkie-talkie, and we did. He had like a neighborhood. I bet your dad was he had a gun in that moment. And I said to my dad, why don't you have a gun?

He goes, if I get a gun, I'm going to fucking kill somebody. I don't want to kill anybody. You're not going to kill nobody if they don't try to break in your house. He made citizens arrests. He called in crimes. He got a, awards for the mayor of Philadelphia. He did all this shit, but he never got a gun. I think it's perfectly, listen, I believe in common sense, gun reform. I don't believe people should have,

you know, weapons that they use in the military to kill, you know, hundreds of people at once. But I'm still, I believe in two-eight. I believe in having firearms in your house to be able to protect yourself. I believe in having firearms in your car to be able to protect yourself nowadays. It's tough. I get the instant. Trust me. But if my dad had a gun, he would have blown that guy's head off. And? Good. You might have said something else? With your two young kids in there. I don't give a fuck.

God bless him. By the way, I don't even think that's something you got to repent for. No. You know what I'm saying? Like they broke into your house, Chris. You don't got a problem killing bugs when they come in your house. Yeah. A fucking animal come in your house.

You'll fucking be ready to slaughter it. Peter on your ass. Right? But a human comes in your house with a fucking axe. And you got remorse for him? What do you think that dude would deal with that axe if he could have got the 100? who fucking kill us.

Fuck him. Okay, so I think we're on the same page here, that this Kamala moment was a great moment. Then she apologized for it, and we're like, oh, darn it. Well, she didn't really apologize. She just said, I probably shouldn't have said that

my team will clean it up tomorrow. My thing is, what's wrong with speaking the language of the people? What's wrong with real human emotion? So here's the thing. This is what I think is happening right now. I don't think anybody's on the plot, but I think the Republican,

I think when Trump ran the first time, he knew exactly what his base needed. Like he spoke to... I wouldn't even just say the base. Well, I was trying to be really nuanced. I think he knew what people needed. At the time.

The first time he ran, he was on the money. He was pinpoint accurate. Yeah, there was some wild shit that he was saying, but he was also a mouthpiece for so many people who just didn't feel like they could communicate their feelings. but he tapped in perfectly.

Second, he was a little bit off. Third, he's even more off. He's just off the set. It's over, guys. Regardless if it's over or not, but right, because things can happen a week before election, two weeks before. Yeah, he might be a little bit.

He gets to win. I think he's going to win. Really, Chris. Okay. And I want to get to your, I want to, I want you to explain that. But what I'm saying is, don't you feel right now like he's,

he's a, he's a standard deviation away from the zeitgeist, from the feeling. Like, I don't think he's capturing the moment. I told you all already. He doesn't want to do this anymore. That might be the case. I don't think Kamala's capturing the moment. I don't think she's on it. I don't think she's capturing the moment. He's the furthest away from it that I've experienced in his time in politics. Yeah, it's the thing. What you're saying is not wrong in no way she performed. It is very hard to capture the moment as a politician. I've only seen it three times in my lifetime. Barack, Bill Clinton, Bill, and Trump in 2016.

And we weren't around for Reagan, but I imagine Reagan. Yeah, I don't remember the Reagan, but I'm talking about this one. As my adult life, three people that captured the moment, that's why I keep telling folks, man. Bill. I'm supporting the vice president, but this don't feel like Obama in 08. It actually feels more like Hillary in 2016. Just not. Where it's like all signs are pointing to the polls are saying like, the polls are not even saying that.

The polls are saying it's tied pretty much, right? But like every now and then you'll see the VP get up 4%, 7%, it seemed like she should win. But that's what we thought in 2016 as well. 2008, you couldn't go nowhere without Barack Obama mania. Black people, white people, gay people, straight people. It seemed like everybody was on board with Barack. So much so that we didn't even pay attention to the other side that was human. The side that Fox News riled up for eight years.

The side that was ready to go vote for somebody like Trump by the time 2016 came around. Because we were just so enamored by President Obama. Clinton, I wasn't even holding a president. the vote. I wasn't all the vote in Clinton. That was 94, right? But I remember how people felt about Bill Clinton. Oh, yeah. I remember that. I remember people talking about Bill Clinton. I remember people talking about how great the economy was four years after Clinton, eight years after Clinton. I remember that. So those guys, to me, captured the moment. Even Trump in 2016, he captured the moment. Like Hillary did not capture the moment in 2016. She was the most qualified.

She was the person everybody thought it was just a shoe in to get. get it, but he captured the moment. The question right now is, what is the moment? I think America is its most fractured right now. And I think the internet is partially responsible because it allows people to operate within their little bubbles. And their little bubbles are their entire world. And that's the only thing that matters to them.

That's right. But now there's 100 little bubbles. So how do you capture the center? Even though. Go. You capture the moment by doing what we just talked about doing. You come back to the center because there's some, there might be some good things over there,

And there might be some good things over here. And if you, nowadays, most of us are paying attention to both sides, right? That's why things are shifted so much, right? You're like, gosh, man, they're saying that 22% of black people are going to, you know, vote for Trump. And, you know, these women that voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 are leaving Trump now. They're leaving the party. And you see these Latinos both of Trump, everything's all in influx, right? And the reason everything's all in influx is because everybody's tired of being on.

way over here and way over there. It's the people that are right here in the middle, right here in the center, speaking common sense like Kamala just did by saying if you break into my house, I own a gun, I'm gonna shoot you. If you just have some common sense, talking about the economy, talking about making people safe.

If you're just keeping it there, you ain't talking about no wild shit about eating no dogs. You ain't telling me that, you know, this is a, this is a, this is a, what I can't even remember what the fuck I was going. This is a, this is really a, you were born a girl, but you can have it, Men can that baby? You know what the fuck I'm talking.

We're not, we're not having none of those conversations. We're just talking common sense that all humans, regardless of what your sexuality is, your gender identity, your religion, race. Can you put some money in my pocket? That's it. Can you keep me safe? Yeah. That's all I care about.

Yeah. The return to center is meeting the moment. Yeah, radicalism is exhausting. On either side. It is just you can do it. It's enticing. It's fun. It's a race.

You're going through articles and it's telling you all the fucking horrible things the CIA did. And you're reading about the Federal Reserve and you're like, what the fuck is this? You're reading, do we land on the moon or not? Like, what is all this information? And all I care about is how much is it eggs? But at the end of the day, how much is the light bill? You know what I'm saying? And all that other step in rows, you have to a point where you're like, yo, I got too much cortisol in my system.

Oh, my God. I need to shut out. I need to separate. I'm telling you, I think Americans are a little exhausted. And I think we're exhausted of the rhetoric that's like, America's falling apart. It's awful. It's our country still.

My guy Tim Ryan, Tim Ryan from Ohio, he says it all the time. He represents the exhausted majority. Yeah. The people who are just tired. He's a Democrat. Yeah.

Pride and true Democrat. Yeah. What he's saying, what we're saying right now, he's been saying for years. By the way, we made a great VP pick, by the way. He said he's the exhausted,

where the exhausted majority, everybody's just tired. That's hard. That's it. I'm tired of us to, I'm tired of politicians and tell me how horrible America is. Tell me why it's great. I love, honestly, like, Trump's make America great again had positivity. He shrouds it in criticism, but when he starts talking about we're going to build the greatest economy, we're going to build the greatest military, that gets Americans excited. Like, people came to this country

because they want greatness. American excellence is important to us. We expect to win. We expect to be number one and we expect to be the best. When you start telling us why we're going to be the best, we get excited. When you start telling us everything is fall apart and it sucks and we have to change and we have to accept

not be in the bed. Whatever that fucking rhetoric is, we are tuning it out and we're not happening. Yeah, I think America first hits harder than Magida. Because, and that's one of his

slogans too because you'll have people who'll be like, well, when was America ever great totally for black people? When was it great for gay people? Was it great for me? Yeah, yeah. But America first,

everybody can get behind here. I like that. Because folks look and they see all of this money going over here for this and all of this money going over there. for that.

I want some. You know, like the migrants are coming in and they're getting these resources before people that have been born here. America first, I think, hits harder than a MAGA. And I've been hearing a lot of America first rhetoric. Really? From the VP as well. How are we talking?

That's all I'm saying. How are we talking? Why do you think she's going to lose? Chris, talk to me. Well, I mean, look, I think what you guys are talking about. You don't hope she loses, though. No, I mean, I'm certainly supporting her. But, like, I think the people's frustration

is real. I think people really do feel like the system is broken. I think the system is broken. I don't think it's, you know, a false sense. I think they've foolishly, I think Trump's a fraud and they've put their trust that he's a outsider who's going to do something in him. So I think he, even if he's, to Andrew's point going much further right than he has in the past, like he's still tapping in to something that most Americans feel. I just think they're wrong in putting that faith in. And the other thing is like, I don't think people are going to vote for a woman, man. Like, I think that's the big on sexist pig, you. Yeah, bro.

I'm voting for her. I can't believe you, Chris. I'm voting for her. Be the change you want to see. I'll certainly be the change. But, like, that concerns me. Like, why? That they won't vote for her?

Because I think she's a better candidate. No, no, no, no. But why do you think people won't vote for a woman? I can't put my finger on it. I mean, the part of it that I don't understand is why women don't seem to support her more. I think they're starting to now. I used to feel that way. I used to feel like,

I used to feel like America would never vote for a woman, but the reason I push back on that rhetoric is because we saw 65 million people vote for Hillary Clinton. Like she did, she did, she won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes. There was no such thing as the electoral college. Now make it a woman of color. Huh? Now make it a woman of color.

I mean, they voted for a black guy as well. I mean, you know, I think America is a lot more progressive. then we give it credit for me. Exactly. I think that's, I agree with you. I think that's a lot of rhetoric right there. I'll be very happy to be proven wrong. To the guy who said, I'll marinate the chicken, then forgot.

Hi, your Safeway PA announcer here. We've got pre-marinated meat. So all that's left is pretending you made it yourself. Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets? Yes. Good, this is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different.

Locked in, loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it, like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify advertising.

You're among fans. Let's do some if any memes necessary, man. What's up, man? Salute the Cardi and Offset Yo, that shit? Yeah, man. That shit makes me feel so good about my marriage. I think we got to thank sometimes.

Like, remember, you ever watch that show about the people who have drug addictions? Which one? Where they do an intervention. It's called intervention. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, like, it's really tragic, but you watch it, you go, man, my life is great.

Like, you feel grateful for what you got. when I see Offset and Cardi like fighting publicly like this and I see how like toxic and messy and then like I compare it to like a little argument me and my wife got into

I'm like yo I am we are lucky but you got to remember Cardi and Austin have been together for a long time or like like I don't know how long they've been married but they've been together for like seven years eight years

yeah so you know you don't know what your relationship's gonna look like seven, eight years from, you know what I'm saying? Right? The only thing that I wish that they would do is just keep it offline. You know what I mean? Because here's the thing, uh, offset can't win. He's the guy, right? There's nothing he could say that would ever get people on his side, right? And he's been, you know, caught out there, like, right? Caught out there, a caught out there doing dirt. And so the perception of him is, is, he's fucking. up, you know,

Cardi, you can do better, yada, yada, yada, yada. Man, we shouldn't even have any opinion about their situation. Why? Because we shouldn't know about it. Well, like, they should be having those conversations amongst each other. They should be going to therapy because the reality is these two individuals clearly care about each other. You don't do this to people.

Oh, yeah, they hurt. You don't care about it. What's the context of this? Man, too much. I don't even know where to begin because I don't even know where to begin. Because I don't even know where it started. I thought I knew where it started, but I didn't. Real quick.

If they handle it publicly, though, is not peculiar for the internet to have an opinion on it. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's part for the course. They are choosing to handle it in, you know. Absolutely. A public setting. I just wish they didn't.

Same, same, same, same. I mean, it's wildly entertaining. Like, Cardi going on her rants. Cardi and Alex Jones have the same, like, you can't stop watching ability. Right? Like when she starts talking, like... You want to threat me

with taking shit that I, work my ass off for. You want to play those games with me? We're going to play them games too. We're going to play them games too. Because you want to f*** me talking about you want to take my shit.

You want to take my shit because I'm moving on? Move on. Move on. Why can you move on? Why can you move on? It's no fun where Mama got the gun, right? It's no fun when I'm slinging p'b-right.

Hmm. Now we're going to court war, right? And I told you, get off my phone. Give a fuck. I'm tired. It's Dr. Umar, Alex Jones, and Cardi B. When they go on live, you are mesmerous. You cannot turn it away.

She got star power. Oh, my God. She's always had this. This headline says offset claims and screens. wife, Cardi B, slept with another man while pregnant, tell the truth. Jesus Christ, man. See, I wouldn't, I would block, I wouldn't want nobody to know that. Yeah.

I'm blocking all the noise out. Yeah. If I love my wife, if my wife loves me, I'm not bringing it to the internet because I don't need none of y' motherfuckers' opinions on our shit. Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? I don't need none of y'all opinion on our shit because if we get back together, a year from now, you know, six months from now, two years from now, I don't need y'all judgment.

I don't need you pointing at her saying, you stupid motherfucker, and I don't need you point at me saying you stupid motherfucker. Because unconditional love Shultz really is unconditional. We got to give people, us as men, we got to give our women the same grace that they give us when we fuck up. Yeah. You don't believe any of this. Nope.

You say that now. I mean, yeah, but... You say that now. You love your wife, bro. No, no, I'm just saying it's hard to like... I also empathize... Listen, I empathize with Cardi, right? Like, it's gotta be tragic.

You're gonna get cheated on. You continue to forgive this person. You have more children with them. They keep on cheating. That's fucked up. But I also empathize with offset where it's like, someone's poking your... You're like, man, you can't let that happen.

Yeah, but you gotta have accountability as... the person who may have drove them to do that. Yeah, but someone's poking your... Jesus Christ. Oh, ugh. You know what I mean? Like, you can't really, like...

You're going to feel the way about that if somebody's poking... Christ, man. I mean, you could bring Jesus into this all you want, but, you know... Nah, I thought it to say something just now, but that would make no sense to say, and I know Jesus is watching us.

He is watching us. He is definitely watching us, man. He's definitely watching us. And he was watching us. watching, you know. No, no, I was just, I'm just going to shut up. I'm not even going to say, because we can always edit it. No, I don't want to edit it.

I don't even want, God knows, God is testing me right now. God is like, I want you to make that joke, and I want you to see what happens, okay? Because it's really, it's about Jesus. And I don't want, I don't want no smoke with my guy. Respect, you know what I mean? But for real, I want Cardi and offset, just to keep this off the internet, man.

That's the worst thing when you bring in strangers to your situation. Because I, I'm, I'm, I'm, watching a world where everybody is so caught up in the internet. We just talked about political parties being caught up in the internet. We just talked about one party, Republican Party, being caught up in conspiracies. We talked about the Democrats being caught up in what the internet is telling them that they should think about gender and all. It's everybody's too caught up in the internet, man. I don't stop bringing these strangers into your life because they love seeing y'all crash out.

I wonder if it's like... Nobody's going to ever have any grace for millionaires. You know that, right? Oh, no, no. We don't have no mercy for you. millionaires. We, they love seeing this. Yeah. They love seeing Cardi and offset angry. Yeah. The last thing they want to do is see you enjoying your life. They want to see you miserable. Yeah, yeah, you may have millions of dollars, but you're going to cry and that made back. Like literally, that's what they

want. Yeah. Don't give them that, man. Don't give it to them. Yeah, it's a, and they don't know the public anything. Nothing. You don't know the public explanation. I wonder what happens. Like, I wonder if they just share so much of their life with the public they think it's normal. or if they feel like embarrassed, you know, one of them does something publicly so the other one feels embarrassed so they feel like they need to... I'm sure.

Like what? Because you're talking about a husband and wife here now. Yeah, yeah. Like this ain't... What motivates that response publicly, you think? Because it comes from somewhere psychologically, you're like, is it I'm not going to be embarrassed? Let me share my side, so I'm not embarrassed.

I don't know. I think, well, Cardi, to me, more so than offset, came up on the internet. So that's kind of her. thing. This is just how she handles her thing. Yeah, this is kind of her thing. I think

I mean, honestly, man, offset might have just snapped. You know? He might have just got pushed to the edge. Like, I can't take it no more, you know? I don't know. I just wish them both the best, man.

Like, this is a husband and wife. That's the other thing. Can you imagine having to go through this with your wife publicly, bro? As a man. Cardi's so measured though. She's so funny. Like, she'll say, you know, you can't handle me. I'm too good for you. You know what I mean?

But then she'll also go back. Now, I'm not going to fuck on your ops. You know what I mean? That's not, that's below me. I have like street code. So I don't care about that. I'm not going to go do that. And you're also not really a bad dad.

You're kind of a good dad. But fuck you. Besides that, she's a very, like, disciplined person with her criticism. We have to, we also have to talk about, like, regardless of, like, don't amasculate you. I can't, I'm about to say don't emasculate your party. You can only emasculate the man. But don't tear down your man or your woman.

Meaning if whatever position you're in, right, like let's say the woman makes more money than you or the man makes more money than the woman. I don't throw that in people's face. Like, don't say things like, you know, you beneath me, you know. Well, I don't. You never was on my level. I think, I don't think she's saying for that reason.

She's saying, it's actually quite an interesting observation. She's like, the reason you need to fuck on these girls is because you don't think that you're the man around me. You don't have the self-esteem to be with me. That's why you need to go fuck on these girls so that they make you feel good. I'm such a boss bitch and it makes you feel insecure. You got to go run and get some pussy. I don't care. You'll f***ing lame.

And them bitches is lame too. You want to know why? Because you got to fuck them bitches in order to get your ego to feel. You know, I'm too much, I'm too, I'm too, I'm too much woman for you. You know what I'm saying? I'm too much of a boss bitch for you. And I always been too good for you. I've been too good for you.

I've been too good for anything that is associated to you. So you got to, other bitches, to make yourself feel better. Because I make you feel so low about yourself. Because I don't make you feel like you're that in this home. So that's what you got to do. So you are here trying to hurt my feelings because you fucking the next bitch. I don't give a fuck. Now, I don't know if that's a situation with Offset,

but that is the situation with a lot of guys, especially guys who are with very successful women. They sometimes feel insecure about their position, so they got to go be King somewhere. Why are we acting like Offset isn't a member of one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time? The Migos bigger than the Beatles, bro. I agree.

The Migos are like Paul and John and all. They all got nothing on TV off-Wibo and Offset. on quick. Why do we act to like offset, not offset? Like,

like, and what did Chris Rock always say? A man is only as faithful as his options. Offset's still a young man. I'm not giving him

no excuses. No excuses. I think that, you know. But you got plenty of options. You're a faithful black man, now. I don't think I have as much

options as I used to. You don't think you have more? I, to be honest with you, if I did, I wouldn't know. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you only, you only know when you entertain them.

Like, you know, you knew me back in the You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Listen, I'm bullshit. I never had nothing. I'm just, but I'm just saying. Yeah, but hypothetically,

hypothetically, when I was entertaining it. Hypothetically, if you did. When I was entertaining it's all about the entertaining. Yeah, yeah. For men and women. Yeah. If you don't entertain, it won't show up. It's kind of like a...

You were an entertainer back in the day. I was always ready to perform. You were the greatest show me. I was one of the greatest show. Barnum and Bay. I was one of the greatest shows on Earth. It was because I saw you walking them male fence around the hotel room.

I said, I said, holy shit. I saw the name to rob one from Missou. What the hell? Who is this B-5-4 funding? But I was entertaining. But there's a, it's kind of like

whatever you fly, whatever you fertilize will grow. So if you fertilize that. Thank God you didn't fertilize anything. No, I stopped fertilizing. Thank God. No, no, no. Thank God.

You only fertilize them up. You only got one garden. It's literally about what you. you entertain. Yeah. Like, if you don't entertain it, it won't,

it'll cease to exist. I also think that, uh, I think that, yeah, and not offset got this, but, you know,

there are certain guys that they might not have like creative outlets to get the confidence and self-esteem, and they might have the same versions that like, let's say we do,

you know, you cook a podcast, he does music, no, no, he does it all. He does. So I don't know if he has that excuse. He can go perform and shows.

He can feel good about the things that he's, creating. There are people who might just work a regular job that they hate and they don't feel like the man at home and they need to feel like the man somewhere and their fucking rec league basketball team is not playing well. Other things in their life are not going well and they don't have a place to get self-esteem from and that's on them. They got to figure it out. But I think that's when they start seeking that attention elsewhere. But I promise you man, when I pass away, you know, 50 years from now, because I'm going to die, I'm going to die at 101. I already know this. I really do

want to have a conversation with God about women, bro. About women? Yes. What you want to ask them? You created the most beautiful thing that we've ever seen. We can say what we want, and I'm really, I really mean there's insane. No pandering. Women make the world go around. Everything we do is for women.

We work out to stay in shape, get our haircuts, we try to wear nice clothes, we try to be successful because we want to impress women. For the most part, I'm not, in LGBT community, everything isn't about y'all. We're having a conversation about heterosexual men that like women, right? So, and by the way, even on the flip side, but even on the flip side of that, everything is about y'all.

It's not, because they're like, I love y'all that listen to brilliant, but just listen to what I'm saying. Yes. For a second. Yeah. He created all of these different women. Mm. None of them were the same.

So much variety. You've got to try. No. No. I got to try? No. Oh, sorry. Wait, wait.

What do you? No. Wait, man. Variety. And each bucket got its own little sour. Variety is the spice of life. And we love spice. And we love life.

And we love life. Right? So you made all of these different women. And then we live in this society, this system that we get married and we devote all our time to one woman. I love it. I thank God for my wife. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you.

But why is it a fight? Why is it? I'm not saying, I'm fighting. I'm just saying, why is it a struggle for so many people? Yeah, why is that? To be with one woman. Why? Why do you think of the variety?

The variety is out there. It's so much variety. You know what I'm confused we all when we walk in a grocery store. I'm retarded. I'm retarded. I don't, sometimes I mean, the grocery store like, can you go? Oh, man.

Have you ever pulled up to a fat food restaurant and looked at that motherfucking menu and you're like, God damn, what do I want? All of it? Why do I want all of it? That's crazy. Now, that's not me. That's not me. That's not me either. That's not me at all. I was just simply saying, God, I got some questions.

Hey, listen, we got questions for these other guys that struggle like that. We don't struggle like that. We're obviously here on this podcast. Yes. Uncorruptible. But I do want, I have questions for the brothers that ain't here. At least, at least maybe I can come back as a spirit. Me too. And talk to some of these guys and say, Hey, man. I want to help them. You know what I mean? Why are you so fucking retarded all the time?

What if we get there and God goes, I never told you all this. These bitches made that shit up. What if God said, hey, these bitches was making up wild shit, bro. I was trying to get y'all to fuck all this pussy out there. But y'all listen to these bitches. Jesus, come here, let me hear.

Hey, I'm telling them lies with you, Jesus. They say you ain't get no pussy down there. They say you didn't fuck no girls. Fuck out of here. He thinks we took our time, making them all look different. Okay? We gave them this little unique thing that they just love. They love it so much they put their tongue on it. You know what I'm saying? And you're just not going to do it? And you think we made all of these beautiful different

society of women for you to be with one for the rest of your life? Come on in man. Come on. Come on in man. Come on. Come on in man. I'm someone turning water and wine. That was the first freak off. And then and then God says that's your mansion over there. Walk in there. You walk in there. You walk. talking there's 20 women. You're like, the Muslims were right. They were right the whole time. They were right the whole time. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm just saying. This is the brilliant of this podcast. Yeah. It's a hypothetical, something for you to think about. That's all it is. We're just asking the questions for the brothers that struggle with fidelity. We don't. No, because, and I'm going to tell you why I don't corruptible. Incorruptible? Incorruptible. I'm going to tell you why I don't struggle with fidelity.

And I've said this a million times because I see how great my life is when you are focused on your one woman. Everything else is a distraction. It is. I've never felt more stable in my life. I've never felt more focused in my life. And if you are a guy

who feels like they can't be with one woman, why don't you just be honest with your wife? What? What's this guy doing right now? Be honest, what's the wife? What does that mean, though? What do you mean? Be honest, I have a real conversation.

And say what? What would you say? It's like, yo, man. I'm going to be out here. A lot of this variety, bro. There's a lot of variety in this street. A lot of variety out here. And you might be pleasantly surprised.

What do you think she'll say? I have no idea, but I think that honesty is always the best policy. And I think that if you and your partner are really in sync as one couple, as one unit, If that's really your best friend, you should be able to have, you know, those type of conversations with them. Now, I would caution you, she might also go, you know what, there is a lot of variety out there. And you got to deal with that. That shit is different. You got to deal with that.

Nah, we don't want to hear that at all. Sometimes that shit is like therapy, those shows. Sometimes you just got to go sit down with somebody and talk about it. Even with your, you know, desires or, you know, your eye wander a little bit. Because, you know, you get to a point where you're so faithful when you get mad even if you just peek. Like, oh, shit. She's still human. Who's mad?

Who is mad? You get mad at yourself. Why would you get mad? You just feel like you're doing something you ain't got no business doing. But you're still human, is what I'm saying. You're not being perfect. You know what's funny?

Like, you know me, I'm a faithful dude, right? You always have been. I've been good. Yeah, I've been good. I feel like that makes me like a good husband. And there's that, there's that great Chris Rock joke where the guys are, I take care of my kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

to. But there is it is a funny thing. Like, maybe since so many dudes are not faithful, the fact that I am, I'm like, damn, my wife, lucky, look at me. You want some extra credit. I want extra credit for doing what I'm supposed to, which is wrong. No, it's not. So, okay, break that down. This October will be.

That's unfair. This October will be eight years for me. You've been eight years sober? Eight years motherfucking sober. October 2016 was the last time I did some bullshit. White girl? No. I said, hey, bro.

What I'm talking about? Keep it true, bro. You're true. Let's go. But guess what? I want a coin. You deserve a coin. I want a fucking coin.

You deserve a coin. What do they give you an A? I want something. And by the way, it ain't something that need to be celebrated widely. Just amongst us as men. We need to be able to be. And we should encourage each other. Yeah.

Like, yo, that's what I'm talking about. I'm not even joking when I say this. Andrew was one of the first fateful guys that I met. Wow. Andrew, and I'm not going to say the other guy's name, because I don't know if he's still a favorite. You know who you are. I'll text you later.

Because I've told him this a million times. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. He heard some things in the wind. He had a good run. Yeah, I don't know. But that encouraged me.

I'm like, oh, shit. It's possible. It's possible and it's dope. Anything is possible. Man, it really is. dope. There's nothing I like more than being with my wife, enjoying life, you know, reaping the fruits of our labor, celebrating our kids. Like, I love it. It's dope. That's my best friend. We've been together since fucking 1998. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not, like,

I'm good. I'm cool. I also do think it helps to get it all out your system. Like, I think it's easier for me just because, like, I didn't, it's not the first person I was ever with. Your wife was the first person you ever with. Like I have fun. I was out there. I dated. I did all the things I wanted to do. So it's not like I'm looking back on, man, I wish I had a threesome or man, I wish I did these things. Like I don't have to look back and say that. So I'm excited about this part of my life where I get to be, you know, all in and completely. I, a hundred percent agree with you. 100%. That's why it's like certain people, it's like I tell dudes all the time. You better be who you say you are. Because there's a lot of dudes out here

who not who they say they are. And they get on their self-righteous high horses and they start talking about, you know, protecting women and this and that. And my whole thing with that is, I'm with you. But you've got to protect what you got at home. And that's what I mean. When I say about being honest, right? Because when you're honest with your significant other, you are protecting her peace. Because what hurts your woman's feelings is, When she finds out you're not who you say you are. You break her heart. You know what I'm saying?

You cause her mind to be all frazzled. You emotionally fucked with her. You're not protecting her. Don't talk me about protecting the other women. If you're not protecting what's at home. You're going to protect what's at home? That's all I'm simply saying. That is very important.

But sometimes it's seductive. You know, there's a lot of money in clicks in saying you protect women online. Oh, yeah. It's a lot of because there's a lot of women who want. want to be protected, you know? 100%. And I can't tell, I can't tell if, you know, everybody who says it doesn't do it.

But, you know, I know, I know, I just want people to, I want people to be who they say to you are. You got to be focused on that. Got to be focused. You got, I'm dead serious. And when you say you protect women, you got to always protect them. Like, you can't, you can't. Protect the ones you got at home.

Yeah. I'm telling you, like, we don't think about it like that. But if you've been a person who's either like, like myself, whose cause my woman pain because of my infidelity are watched my mom go through pain because of my dad's infidelity, you realize how much you're not protecting that person's peace.

You've got to protect your wife's peace. You've got to protect your woman's peace. You've got to protect your woman's heart. You're not doing that if you out there creeping on. That's a fact. That's it. So I would rather people just be honest. But it's easier to say,

you're protecting women from other people. Yeah, but what's going on? That's the way easier to ask, but what's going on at home? What's going on at home? That's all I'm saying. I agree with you, man, 100%. But it's just, you know, we always gravitate to the easier thing to do, you know what I mean?

That's why I think we should be, if you're feeling that way about other women, just have the conversation. Just make it open, make it open. That's it. Because you don't, it's not like you want to leave. I don't think, right? It's not just your partner, for me.

It's not taught to me, Chris. Kids. The kids got to see it. Yeah, yeah, you're right. That would be my biggest fear. Yes, sir. You know, like, God forbid, they start to see it. Because that's going to be their expectation of relationship.

Like, think about, like, you had to unlearn what an expectation of relationship was. My daddy, when I confronted my dad for cheating on my mom, he literally said to me, oh, you only got one girlfriend. Yeah. One day you're going to understand. That's fucked me up as a young kid. It just fucked me up. I'm like, my whole, I'm like, damn, I'm supposed to be one girl. Yeah.

Like, even I like me and when one girl. woman. Yeah. But it's like he fucked me up with that. So yes. Let's take some bills. What we got? What we got, Chris. All right, guys, let's take a break for a second. This episode has been brought to you by Blue Chew. Deliver the best

dick of your life. You deserve it. Your girl deserves it. Everybody in your life deserves it. Your mom deserves it from your dad. Okay? They do deserve it. Both of them. Blue Chew. Same act of ingredient in the Sinai Viagra. See Alice. This is the cutest one that we

So Saturday, October 12th, Marquis, Times Square, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., my fourth annual Mental Wealth Expo.

It is a free event. Open to all ages. All you got to do is go to Mental Wealthexpo.com for details and the register. I want to salute to All the Smoke Podcast. My guys, Matt Barnes, and Stephen Jackson. I don't know why I don't have a. copy of their book here. I just got it in last week, but they have a coffee table book coming out on October the 8th. It is a beautiful, beautiful book, man. I said it before. I think every hit

podcast, especially if you're a hit podcast who's like pretty guest heavy, should do that because it's just a great way, you know, to, it's just a great piece of memorabilia to have, you know, if you're a fan, like if you're a fan that are All the Smoke Podcasts with so many of y'all are, you've got to go pre-order this book. It has interviews from the late great Kobe Bryant. You know, who else is in there? Alan Iverson, Magic Johnson. And you listen to the All the Smoke Podcasts.

Kevin Hart. Everybody's been on All the Smoke Podcast. And it's got these beautiful pictures. And, you know, Matt and Stevens' thoughts on some of the conversations and the interviews, you know, even some things that happened behind the scene. So go get the... The All the Smoke Podcast,

coffee table book, it's out October 8th, but you can pre-order it now wherever you buy books. And salute to All the Smold Podcasts. They just interviewed the Vice President. Yeah, they did. Oh, they had common a look?

I don't think it's out yet. It comes out. I think it might be out next week. But yeah, they did the conversation already. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I like stuff like that

because I like, I think Stiles make fights, right? Yeah. And I think a lot of times if you see the Vice President, I think she did a great interview with Stephanie Ruhl on MSNBC this week. But Stephanie Ruhl is a political journalist, political pundits. So the question she is asking somebody like the vice president can pretty much prepare for. But with Stephen and Matt, it's an unorthodox situation because they're not coming with political questions, so to speak. And if they are, they're speaking in their way.

So you can't just use your scripted talking points with somebody like them. So I'm interested in seeing that. Plus, the VP's good with that. Like, I don't, like, that's the frustration, right? The frustration is you don't have to stick to these scripted talking points because I, you're good. Yeah, trust yourself. Trust yourself. But she got so many people in her ear.

Oh, my God. Say it's wrong. It's going to do. Blah, blah, blah. And by the way, the people that are in her ear are so fucking scripted. Yeah, because they thought they were running somebody that they literally had to hold up. You know what I'm saying? And so I would have gotten, and I don't know, I'm just speaking.

I don't know who all of these people are, but I would have gotten rid of so many of them. If you worked for Biden and you had a game plan for Biden, you got to go. We got to put together somebody that can run a game plan for me over the next 50 days. Yo, I need your help with this joke. What's the joke? The idea is funny, but it's just not funny yet. I don't think we should work it out on the podcast.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's about the eating cats and dogs thing. Okay. Okay. Because I was in Ohio this weekend. All right. Okay. I had shows.

I was in Cincinnati and Cleveland. Okay. Okay. Cincinnati. Cainine? No, no, no. But I'm in Cincinnati and Cleveland. Okay.

And I'm hearing all this stuff with the Haitians and Katzen's dog. Yeah. Right. I don't have the punchline for it, but this is the funny part to me. Okay. And everybody's like, why are so many Haitians moving to Ohio? Because that's where Springfield was. That's where I said.

Why are all these Haitians living here? I don't know how to make it funny. But this is what I find funny is the two football teams. Springfield is located in between. Cincinnati and Cleveland Okay

Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns oh God okay cats

and dogs okay I don't know how to make this funny but it is pretty ironic there is

you know what and there's a Cincinnati Wildcats no that's Kentucky Wildcats no isn't it Cincinnati team

Bear cats oh okay but But still, like, the dog pound, the Cleveland dog pound, the Browns are the dog pound. Right. Yes. And a bangle is a cat. It's literally cats and dogs.

And I, I mean, it can't be any more perfect. But I don't know how to make it funny yet. It's almost too obvious. Like, it's kind of crazy that that happened, no? I mean, I laughed when you gave me that observation. That I didn't think about it. Yeah. Well, what do you think the meeting was when the Haitians decided which place to go?

Like, well, what do you think? they were choosing. What were they choosing? Yeah, I mean, like, they're probably going through the animals. They're like, all right, Miami's got the dolphins. That's a little gamey. Like, what do you think? By the way, we don't believe Haitians were eating cats and cats. No, of course not. But it's the absurdity. It's crazy. Yes, yes, it's the absurdity of staying as. Just happened to have cat and dogs as their mascots. Yeah, I'm going to let you work that out, bro. I'm not the comedian. I know it's ridiculous, but there's something... All right.

I'm with you. It's not funny yet, I know. It can get there, though. Shannon Sharp will no longer respond to negativity. Uh-oh. What happened with Shannon? Let me see this post. Let me see this post, Art.

Let's see what he's talking about. Shannon Sharp says he will no longer be responding to negativity. Make it bigger, pause? I can't see it. Okay, September 25th, 2024 at 6.06 p.m. Shannon Sharp says I would no longer respond to any negativity. It's not that serious for me. I've got kids and I would upset with them if they responded in this manner. This is beneath me. Y'all pray for me, though. What happened? Why? Oh, okay. So Shannon Sharp said something about Caitlin Clark. He said, somebody tweeted, this is why. I said the WNBA has a What About Me issue. We're just happy Shannon calling it out right in front of the one who started it.

Can we play that? Stephen A, I would be remiss if I didn't say this. A lot of this noise came by people that were sitting on this network. They tried to minimize her. Say, what you giving her all this credit? What about the women that came before her? What the women came before her, what they did cannot be taken away. That ain't got nothing to do with Caitlin Clark.

But there was a lot of people tried to make sure they keep Caitlin Clark in her place because what you're doing, if you give her all this shine, you minimize what they done. Okay, so somebody said my issue is Shannon Sharp never speaks on the disrespect. The rest of the woman of the W experience always defending Caitlin. The WMBA disrespect didn't start with Caitlin. They've been disrespectful for years. Caitlin's buzz made that hate way worse. And people who tried to have the other woman's backs got called haters by people like

Shannon Sharp and Stephen A. Smith who wanted us to be thankful for ratings boost. So this is what Shannon responded to or didn't respond to My whole thing is, man I don't know why y'all be responding to people on social media, period What are you did? I don't do it. You don't see me reacting, nothing.

I'm not doing it. I learned my lesson from that year ago. Oh, Shannon, sir, that's your issue, not mine. I have no issue with anything I've said in regards to WNBA and his players past the present. Yeah, I don't give a fuck about what these strangers think about me. I really don't. And when you're a person who gives them,

their opinion for a living, Schult, as we talked about earlier, people are going to have opinions back. Yeah. You can't be a person that gives their opinion for a living. Yeah. Expect everybody to agree with you.

Not at all. So when they disagree, who gives a fuck? I put on my, every chapter of my book and every time I'm on social media, I put less disgust. You think I'm in the comments,

disgusts? You're not even discussed. I just like the chaos. Yeah. I don't give a fuck. I like the chaos. Like, I like, watching y'all sit back and talk about what I say.

Yeah. It's what I say. Yeah. I debate my points on brilliant idiots and on breakfast club with whoever's in the room. Yeah. Right? And then that's it. And that's it.

Yeah. I didn't know. Other than that, you're going to watch these points on social media. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. You're welcome, Charlemagne. Yeah.

For the content. You're welcome, Shannon Shaw for the content. You're welcome, Andrew Shost. You're welcome Stephen A. Smith. We give you great. For your mill. Now, here's the thing that this might break a lot of people's hearts. And most of these combos, we don't even go to fuck.

I don't even know what's going on. We don't even know what's going. We don't care. If you actually pay attention. You're so angry as shit, we don't even get a fuck about it. If you actually pay attention, you'll hear me say that. I'm like, I don't even know what the fuck's going on. I'm just talking because we get microphones.

Like, I ain't like, right? But that's why you got to be attention with your word. But shit like this. Yeah. Oh, fuck. That's actually why group chats are so great. Why? because we could get it off and everybody knows,

and nobody gives a fuck? And everybody's trying to rile each other up in the group chat. Yeah. You know what I'm trying to say the craziest shit. Yeah, absolutely. Like, you know, like, I'm in a group chat the other night. Somebody sends something about Mayor Eric Adams in it. I don't care, but I know what this person cares about.

Yeah, man, Caitlin just got eliminated. Caitlin just got eliminated, bro. Okay. Just a little too, yeah, just to get everybody. Yeah. Put some sauce on it, baby. Fuck up. Now, we like the chaos.

The chaos is fun. I like the chaos. But you know our hearts. Our hearts are good. And we're here to entertain. Our hearts are good. By the way, Shannon is that to entertain. Stephen A. is that entertainment.

I'm not saying that they're not saying what they don't believe. I'm just saying that once they say it on their jobs. And I mean this to Shannon and everybody else with an opinion. Once I say it on my job or my place to business, I'm not arguing with y'all motherfuckers about this. I get paid to argue with Stephen A. Smith. I get paid to argue with Andrew Shoeh. I get paid to argue with envy.

and Jess O'Laris and, you know, Lauren LaRosa is in their guest old stuff. And that's who I get paid in debate with. I think the annoying thing is, like, with the WMBA shit, and keep in mind, I do not give a fuck about this conversation we're about to have,

is that, like, the only thing that's going to make them make more money is if the TV ratings go up. That's the only thing that changes the amount of money. Look how much. These NBA players are about to be billionaires. They're about to make more money than the fucking owners,

simply because the TV ratings have gone crazy and they're gouging the fuck out of these different networks that are going to play the games. So if you want women to make money, you need the girl that makes the ratings happen. That's right. To be, you know, give her the Jordan rules. Give Angel the Jordan rules too.

Whoever they're watching, give them the Jordan rules. I said that last night. I was like, yo, the WMA got to learn how to rig shit. Facts! Because what's the guys? They're not in the playoffs now. They need a David Stern. That's right.

God bless the day. Caitlin's not in the playoffs right now. Angel Reese not in the playoffs right now. Agent Wilson is the best player in the WNBA. The Liberty Aces series is going to be great. But it's like, Caitlin and Angel was bringing a lot of eyeballs to the table. You need to take the finals, bro. I need to.

And I wonder if the ratings are going to take a little plummet now. What do you mean wonder? Of course they're going to. Listen, we want to watch Caitlin. Rig it. I hope this is the highest WNBA playoffs ever. If it's not, we know why. There's no Caitlin Clark.

There's no Angel Reiki. Now, I feel like Asia, I feel like this has been a breakout year for Asia, which sounds crazy to say because she's a three-time MVP. She's won the championship two times. She's defensive player years. She's won all of these different awards. She's very well decorated. But I feel like as a star, this has been a real breakout year for her because of the eyeballs that the Caitlin's and the angels bought. But now they're looking like, but that girl right there is really a vested.

Rifting tide. Lift all bolts. That's right. That's right. Well, it's not the finals yet. They're going to the second round, but the Liberty and the Aces are going to be in the second round of the WMBA finals. But I'm just saying if the ratings take a little dive, a lot of dive. Then you all know what time it is.

That's right. And you can, you know, take care of your, what is it called, lead horse. That's right. And also, too, go listen to Carrie Champions podcast Naked. She does this thing. She's doing this amazing series called The Rivalry, where she's breaking down how the Caitlin and Angel rivalry started and how it's benefiting the sport of women's basketball. I know that there's this thing going around now where the WNBA put out a statement. And I forgot what the statement said, but basically, like, they're going to be coming down real hard on hecklers and everybody else.

You need that, bro. Yo, let the people go crazy. You need, you need, I know it sounds crazy, but you need to, let me see if I could find the exact statement. You want passionate fans. You want fans with signs. Like, you want it to go absolutely berserk. Okay. The WNBA is a competitive league, which is the WNBA's statement.

think WNBA is a competitive league with some of the most elite athletes in the world. While we welcome a growing fan base, the WNBA will not tolerate racist, derogatory, or threatening comments made about players, teams, and anyone affiliated with the league. League security is actively monitoring threat-related activity and will work directly with teams and areas and arenas to take appropriate measures that include involving law enforcement as necessary. I agree with that. In this era, you should take all threat serious. But man, when you start having people say they want to kill you, an athlete. Oh, you kill it. They're invested. See you later.

I know it sounds fucked up. They're invested. That's how people talk with the NFL. That's how people talk with the NBA. That's how people talk with major league baseball. They're going to say racist shit to players. They're going to say sexist shit to players, right? Also, by the way, I know sexism is women, so it's taking different.

We call these guys gay all the time. You know what I'm saying? Also, also, this is a very important thing to, to note here. The reason the heckling has gone up is because there are people in the stands. So now when you yell something, you can be anonymous. Before, when there's 25 people in the stands, you can have a full on conversation with all the players on the court. They can hear everything you say. You can't say some wild shit. When there are 18,000 people in an arena, you could scream the nastiest crazy thing you've ever heard or thought of to another human being with no

repercussion. Chris, you're from Philadelphia. The worst. The worst. The worst. You know when you go to Philly. You're going to experience racism. Yeah. Like, Santa. Santa. Oh my God. How does Santa get heckled, bro? You fucked up. What he do? They were getting

blown. It was like an Eagles game. I think they threw batteries out. I mean, crazy. My whole point is when you get to the point where you have that type of heckling, that emotionally invested. Yeah. It's actually good for the sport. There's not one sport that doesn't experience it. I know we're a little bit more sensitive because it's a league full of women, but

as the league grows, and as more fans start to grow with the league and more casuals start to come, that's going to come with it. It just is. And it just is. It just is. What else we got, Art? What about Diddy, yo? We're not going to talk

about Diddy? Tell me what's new with that Diddy updates. I mean, it just seems like a lot more memes have come out. It seems like there's been more information that we haven't addressed the baby oil, we haven't addressed... We didn't talk about the baby oil?

I thought we talked last week. Did we? We haven't addressed the dildos? The dildo thing is not real. Okay. Yeah, the baby oil is definitely real. His lawyer said some of the funniest shit.

His lawyer was like... He buys and bold. He likes to buy in bulk, which I agree with. Okay? He clearly liked the buy in bulk. Oh, well, yeah, since we were here last time,

Did he got denied bond? He's going to be in there until his trial. What does that have to say? he does what the white girl? Diddy adopts white girl. Whoa. Let's click on the thousand bottles. All right. Let me see what this is about. You can never go wrong with the thousand bottles. So, spokesperson from Costco denied selling Bavio following Diddy's attorneys' claims about him purchasing items from their stores. Do you have the claims?

A thousand bottles of Bavio. How do you want to wear the number of thousand? The U.S. Attorney said it. I can't imagine it's thousands. I mean, you know, and I'm not really sure with the Bavis. oil has to do with anything? Buttholes. I guess. I don't know what you need a thousand. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don't know if you need a thousand for.

I mean, he has a big house. He buys it bulk. You know, I think they have Costco's in every place where he has a home. I mean, you sat in a parking lot of Costco and see what people walk out of there with. You have a thousand bottles of baby oil. I don't think it was a thousand. I think it was, I think it was, let's just to say it's a lot. Okay. I think that Diddy's attorney I mean whenever I hear Diddy's attorney talk I'm just like yo he might as well just walk in the cell with Diddy

and say Mr. Combs I'm going to tell you what has been said to buttholes in your house for years You're fucked I don't believe this Every time I hear him talk I'm like Diddy you're paying this guy? So what happens? Do you think it's Do you think anyone else goes down? Do you think it's just Did he, what do you think is the...

I mean, other people don't go down, then something's wrong because it's a racketeering charge. One person can't do that. Oh, whoa, whoa, yeah, keep on that. It's a racketeering charge. It's a criminal enterprise. Where's the rest of the enterprise?

Racketeering implies that there is a whole group, right? It's a gang. It's mafia. It's whatever. I think what they're doing now, the FBI, I think the FBI has people that they're going to bring in, but I think they're letting everybody

fuck themselves. What do you mean? Because Dini's locked up. Yeah. So just like you see Eric Adams, people tweeting shit and texting shit and all that, they're letting everybody get their shit off. You know what I'm saying? They're letting everybody get their shit off.

And once they do it, then they can incriminate that. That's right. Now I got it. That's right. Like, oh, O'Ddy's locked up. Everybody's panicking. Like, man, you think we on those tapes. You know what I mean?

Oh, that's interesting. That's what I think the FBI is currently doing right now. This is very interesting. Yes. Okay. Now, so do you think that the case is about more than just Diddy? Are they going to try to get Diddy to flip on someone else? Or do you think Diddy is enough and everybody's happy with that count of flesh?

It would seem like Diddy would beat a big fish, right? I don't know where he goes. I don't know who he flips on. Does he flip on some record exec? Does he flip on? And even then, like, how can you prove that that record exec did more nefarious things than Diddy? Yeah. It just, listen, man, I don't.

I really what I say I truly don't know I truly do not know I just know that I thought it was hilarious when meek mill just randomly tweeted out I got a hundred thousand dollars for anyone let me see my finding tweet man and I was like I'd be wanting to just be like meek what are you interjecting for yeah yeah like meek let me see what me can be fine meek I think meek gets a few tweets and he's like fuck stop listening to social media look at the headline meek mill wants to give detectives 100,000 to uncover why he's connected to Diddy case. Meek, you're not. No, yeah. You're not connected to Diddy case. You're not in any of the indictments. This is your, so he said, I want to hire an investigative team, $100,000 cash to find out every specific detail involving Meek mill name the Diddy case.

I also want them to look at who is powering the media involving Meek. Anything to do with buddies. Something not right. Meek. Nobody has you connected to this case. You listening to these digital dickheads on social. media making jokes. Nobody's talking about you on the news.

You're not in any of the indictments. You're looking at people making jokes on social media. And you're like, I got $100,000 for anybody. And now the feds are like, Meek Mill. Let's look into that. Don't do they work for him. Oh. That's what it feels like.

Oh, you're incriminating yourself. He's starting his own Meek 2 movement. Like, why? For what reason? I felt so bad that like when I reposted that Diddy joke, I said, by the way, Meek is innocent because he's just in the joke. Jesus Christ. But I was like, yo, he's innocent. Like, obviously he has no connection just because I felt bad because I think he really does take the internet very seriously.

And I understand if like if you're not walking the streets, which a guy like Meek probably can't just walk the streets, your whole world is the internet. Yeah, yeah. So that's what you think the reality is I get to walk the streets. It's like I get to bump into people and say hello. And like that is the world. And then the internet is this other thing where like trends pop up for a couple days. Then they go the fuck away and nobody really cares. So it's important to be out there with real people, man.

Meek said, the streets know what's up with me. That's not the case. We're talking about business side. Somebody powering these bad campaigns with Meek Mill again. Got $100,000 for a thorough investigation of who's powering and how exactly my name connected. Now, I get what Meek saying right here. I do think there are bots, though. Absolutely.

There are bots. I've done that. Me and Chris have done that. I've actually done that. What do you call it, Chris? What do you call it? What you call it? Yeah.

Autopsy. Yeah, you call it like a digital autopsy. And people basically hire these accounts. Absolutely. And they all say similar things. They all have this like follower to followed ratio. All mine came from India. Yeah, well, that's where the bot farms are.

So you hire them. They create these accounts that don't look like they're from India. They look like they're from America. That's right. And they all say similar things, but they all have this like follower to follow. ratio, it's like 10 to 1 or something. But the thing is, if you look at someone's comments section, you see all the comments, you start going, oh my God, this is real.

That's right. Because most people don't know that you can send bots at people. That's right. And the comments can be very convincing. So it's a really interesting strategy, because you can really make someone look like they're going through turmoil. But then you walk down the street and it's all love and you're like, oh, wait a minute, this is not reality.

Are Meek, you, and Meek, you've done this a million times, Meek. you see them attacking you on social media and then you have a show and everybody pops out everybody has a great time it's all love you get the fuck I was in New Orleans

this weekend I was at Xavier University in the morning me and Ricky Smiley salute to inspire Nola they had a great event they called Nola Love 4,500 kids there

you know what I'm saying spoke to the kids was out then that night I had a book event at Ballwin and company books a bookstore I think it was like 500, 600 people there. Like, the real world is the real world.

But not everybody gets to access that. And I think, you know, especially with a lot of these kids that don't have a front-facing version of their business, all they see is online. You had shows last weekend, right? Yeah. Where at? It was in Ohio, the cats and the dogs.

How big is the venue? They were a few thousand, two thousand each. Yeah. And sold out. Yeah. How many shows you did? We did one show each night. You see what I'm saying?

How many nights? One show or two nights. Yeah, yeah. So it was just... Give them fuck. Let social media do what social media does. Yeah. Because people that support you and rock with you, they actually pay attention to you.

But we're lucky we have that proof. Not a lot of people have that proof. Some of these people only exist online. That's true. So they think that what happens online is the only thing that matters. That's true. They don't have the real life. That's true.

And you can't convince, like, to Meek or anybody else, you can't convince somebody who actually supports you that the things that they're lying about online in regards to you are true. Because they have too much, the brilliant idiots, we got too much content. You can only convince the casuals.

That's it. There's a lot of times the casuals, they might not even want to like you anyway. They're looking for a reason to not like you. And even those people, they might get convinced and then they might watch more of you and be like, man,

I was manipulated by that shit. That's like, that wasn't even true. I've had people DM, me that shit. They're like, man, I was an idiot. I believe this other stuff. Then I started to like look at your content and then wow, like you've got great stuff. So a lot of this shit happens. But if you keep on doing your thing

and you're consistent, consistency will prevail every single time. It never fails. Let's do some asking idiots, man. I want to tell everybody to salute to all of y'all who have been going out and purchasing a copy of my upcoming

graphic novel called Illuminati. It is available on Kickstarter right now as I speak. It's the story of Lily, a young woman with psychic abilities who heads to Los Angeles to investigate

the mysterious death of her twin sister. She becomes enmeshed in a dark conspiracy that snakes this way through the pillars of power fame and popular culture. And Illuminati is a relentless supernatural thriller that tackles head on the most during urban legend of our day,

the black Illuminati. So go to Kickstarter, type in my name, Charlemagne, or you can just type in Illuminati, and it'll come up. It'll come up, and you can purchase a copy

of the graphic novel. And you can purchase merchandise, too. I got this hat. You see this hat I got on, Illuminati, the T-shirts, all of that kind of stuff. And I'm going to be at ComicCon. We're going to be at ComicCon.

I want to give you the date. I want to give you the date. we're going to be at comic con on Friday, October 18th at 3.45 p.m. In room 1, C.O.3. My guy Rob Markman will be moderating. My man Axel Alonzo, who's the editor-in-chief of AWA, former editor-in-chief of Marvel. He'll be there.

And Dennis Cohen will be there. And we'll be having a conversation about the Illuminati that you can go order on Kickstarter right now. Just type in Illuminati. I type of my name, Charlemagne, and you can get it, right? This guy underscore comma says, do you think your life would be different

if you had sons instead of daughters, if so, how? Hmm, do you think Shokes? I mean, it's too early for me to know right now. Like, you know, I'm seven months in. It's like they don't even have a gender yet. Like, I'm sure there are things that I'll... Damn, you're really going back liberal, bro.

Stop. This is crazy. She definitely has a gender. Yeah, no, she definitely has gender. Okay. Wow. That was crazy shows. You don't even have a Genda yet? She's seven months work.

But you've been watching, man. I want a little bit. I want to- Maga! Maga! Maga! You answered a question, yo. What would be like if you had kids, dudes?

I thought about this yesterday. Okay. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love having four daughters. But that's not what he's asking. You just invented a brand. Oh, do I think my life would be different? Yeah.

Yeah, but I don't know how. I think I needed daughters. I needed daughters to like... Your parenting would be different. That's what I think about. How would my parenting be different? I'd probably be more paranoid. I'm very paranoid with my daughters.

I might be more paranoid with my sons. You know why? Because I'd be giving my sons a lot more freedom. Not saying that I don't give my oldest daughters. ought to, you know, freedom. But I know that I'm a lot more stricter than I probably would if it was my 16-year-old son. Yeah. But that's only because the way the world is designed and set up, it's not the safest place for women, right?

So my mind is always constantly there. I don't think I would be that way if I had sons. Yeah, you'd be a little bit. I'd be paranoid. It still be the parental paranoia. Yeah. But I know that I would be a lot, maybe looser in parenting. What do you think, Chris?

It's hard. I give my daughters a ton of freedom, but it's difficult. You know, I was talking about this with my father the other day. I mean, there's real threats out there. Yeah. But you also can't raise daughters to live in fear. I mean, they've got to go out there. Yeah.

So it's a very fine balance. And they shouldn't be the ones to be punished for the fact that men can't control them. themselves. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, also can't control themselves. So, you know, it's like this is the constant. Yeah. You think about it every single day. But that's the fight though, right? Because I know my dad raised me out of fear and not love because he didn't want me to end up in a lot of the same situations that he ended up in. I made a lot of those same mistakes anyway, right? He just didn't want me to get involved in the discrete life, but I ended up doing that anyway, right? So it's, I get, Chris, but that's what you're saying, Chris, you don't want to raise your kids out of fear and not love.

But man, bro, it's hard. It's really. It's really. really hard not to think the worst. Yeah. Yeah. I also feel like there's like added pressure to like, you're almost like responsible for your son's masculinity in a way. Whereas like with daughters, I just feel like I need a lover.

Like I need her to be confident. I need her to feel secure, but I just need a lover. Like I don't have to be like, yo, toughen up, man up or the type of expectations that we put on boys. And we don't put them on boys because we're like, don't be gay. We put on boys because like,

yo, the world is tough out there. And if you're soft someone might take advantage of you. Yeah. So like, that's true for women. It is true, but I also feel like the mother. Different type of tough. It's a different type of times.

I feel like the mother is instilling those values. There's more of a responsibility on her and still. Those just like when you have a boy, it's more on the father. True. Still the toughness, if you will, value. That's where I think I could have done a better job, right? You made them tougher? A certain point, I've just kind of like, nah, fuck it.

Like if they cry over something, I'm just like, all right, you got, you know, we're a boy. Oh, oh, you, yeah. With a boy, I would have been like, no, fuck that. Like, the way my dad was me. Exactly. Push you up against the wall, you know. Life is going to be tough. You're not going to get shit.

And I'm like, but life is still going to be tough with them. So why aren't I? You leave that up to your wife, bro. Your wife's got to be the tough one. You got to be the example of a guy who is loving, sweet, kind, and supportive. So they know that that exists out there in the world when all these dudes are fucking asshole. But you got to push them. Say again?

You still got to push them. Yeah, that's what your Asian-ass wife is going to do. You got Dragon Mom. She's not. Well, that, you got a fuck up. Yeah. Get the dragon. Anything with ass in the middle sound crazy.

You can just take two regular words. And you put ass in the middle. It sounds crazy. Asian ass wife. You know what I'm saying? Like you'd be like, what is this shit? What is this shit called? You'd be like, crystal ass bottle.

You know what I'm saying? Anything. Anytime you put ass and stuff. That seems severe when you say it like that. It just sounds crazy. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, I feel what y'all saying, man.

It's hard. When you're a dad, man, like, whenever there's tears in my house, I'm there. Yeah. And I want to be the first person that they run to. So I ain't no, like, you don't tell your kid, your daughter suck it up. What you're crying for? You're like, what's from? Baby, you know what I mean? You try to get to the root of it. I don't know. I don't know how my life would be different if I had sons. Maybe polygamy will get legal and we'll find out one. Hey. Brozky

You could only eat one meat Pause the rest of your life What would it be? Come on, man Sabrina Niddish, you know what it is Tell us What would it be? What would you put those

Brandoom team on? You know what I was thinking about In terms of dick sucking? What? And I wish Taylor was there Because I had this conversation Yeah, yeah I forgot how we even got on

Oh, we was talking about it Because Cardi B was saying How in one of those Rants Cardi B was on. She was like, you pay these girls $2,000 for pussy, whatever, whatever. And I was like, well, God damn, the price of pussy then went up.

It was $40 a few years ago. 40? I don't know. But now it's two grain? Yeah. You know what I was saying? So what I was saying was one of the reasons I don't have a problem with that. And I told Taylor this,

and I told Lauren LaRosa this earlier. Women need to really think about what it means to have a dick in your mouth. Oh, talk about that. Just think about it. Yeah. And like, if you are a woman, yeah, you're taking the time to allow this man to put his dick in your mouth, you're playing with his balls, you've got your pubic heads and his nose,

then you're probably letting him get on top of you, sweat on you, he's getting inside of you. Yeah, it's a lot. You're doing all of this for a man. Yeah. The least he can do is pay a bill. The least he can do is, you know, buy you something. The least he can do is, you know, give you a little bread. That's not prostitution

to me. Because here's the thing, for whatever reason, we act like the vagina and the woman doesn't have all the value. They have all the value. We just talked about it early in the podcast. Everything we do, we do for them. Y'all can sit around and act like we

we simps and all of that stuff like that. No, y'all motherfuckers just broke. No, no, let's just be honest. Because it's not tricking. They say it's not tricking if you got it. I say it's not tricking if she's worth it. If you have it, because I used to be like that. I used to be one of those guys that had never paid no woman to do that. When you get a little bread,

it's easier. You're going to do it. Yeah. Because you're doing it for them anyway. Yeah. And women, I don't have a problem with women feeling like they want something from a man because you're putting a whole dick in your mouth. That's a lot. That's a lot. And then I want you to really think about this women. You putting dicks in your mouth that you don't have a future with. You know what I feel like right now? You ever see that DJ Callet interview with what's the guy's name? Is it Smiley or something like that? They don't believe in us.

What's his name? Yes. Speedy, speedy, speedy. Speedy, speedy. They don't believe in us. And the speed is just sitting here like, yeah, no. No. They're putting dicks in their mouth of the mouth.

Yes. They are. So just think about it. You're putting dicks in your mouth and you don't have a future with these guys. Some of you women, if you took the time right now, Write down all the dicks you stuck through out your whole life. You didn't marry none of these guys. You can't get that dick back.

You can't unsuck the dick. You can't unsuck a dick. Once you suck a dick. It sucks. Now, let's talk about this. Because everybody got a podcast on the YouTube channel. Yeah, yeah. Everybody got a podcast on the YouTube channel.

So imagine you one of these ladies. Yeah. You don't suck to all these dicks. All of them. You got your podcast. Yeah. It's a hit podcast. Yeah.

You on there just talking. You just say yapping in the chat. Yeah. Somebody can point to that mouth and say, my dick was in that mouth. Oh my goodness. You got nothing to show for it. Nothing. Give some motherfucking money, man.

Interesting. So this is money. This is the least a guy can do. It's the least. It's, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like you're helping someone move. You know, that's how you got to think about it. Come on.

Like if somebody, if your friend helps you move, you take him to dinner. Something. You do something for them. You're not paying him, but you understand that he did a deed. Come on, man. That was helpful to you and you want him to feel appreciated so you take a to dinner. It is no sweat off your back. And I hate when guys say,

what are you bringing to the table? She is the fucking table. She's the table. You got dressed to sit at that table. Exactly. You want the boom-poon. You want to put your dick in her mouth. And she is doing it. I'm telling you right now, somebody out there

the next time you suck a dick, I want you to think to yourself, Uncle Charlotte told me, what am I doing this for and not getting nothing out of it? That is great. Like there might be girls that have had like a hundred decks. Just sucking. And they got a roommate still.

Whoa. And this man who dick you sucking got a pocket full of money and he's telling you what do you bring to the table? Wow. Poon, boom. Right. Dick sucks. That's what I bring to the motherfucking table.

And you want me to cook and all that shit on top of that? Wow. Get some money, ladies. Get some money. So, Broski. The question was, if you can only eat one meat for the bread. Yeah. What would it be?

Guys, if you think we're idiots... Oh, hold on. We got to answer this one question before we go. We have to. Oscar B. Savage on him. This is a great question. Oscar B. Savage on him says, what do you guys remember the most of episode one of Brilliant Idiot?

Star Shame Enterprise. Star Shame Enterprise. The most memorable thing for me from that episode. Well, number one, it was the first episode of Brilliant Idiot. 12 years later, we're still here. but Jasmine, Jazz, Fly, Water. That was our first guest on that episode. I actually go back and listen to that episode sometimes

just because I can't talk to Jazz in the physical anymore. And I also go back and I listen to the other episode that Jazz did with us where I actually really appreciate that episode because she really broke down her life. And she had never done that. Unbelievable. She had never broke down her life. Jazz didn't get a chance to leave us a book or anything like that. So you got to go back and actually listen to that episode.

to see what mind state was she was in, where she was going, what was going on in her life. With that first episode, I remember Jasmine and Jazz Fly Waters, man. That will always be the highlight of episode one of the brilliant idiots for me. Amen to that.

Rest and peace to jazz flies. God bless. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right.

But if you listen to this podcast, we think we're just a couple idiots and don't know shit, you're right too. It's a brilliant idiot's podcast. Thank you for listening. And...
