The Brilliant Idiots - Lime Green Vibratoes

Episode Date: August 7, 2025

In this episode of Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz chop it up about everything from WNBA drama involving dildos, to why hair extensions might be messing with identity. They get real about living with ADHD, how society labels us, and why body positivity in ads still feels a bit off sometimes. The guys also revisit the classic TV show Martin, breaking down its impact on comedy, beauty standards, and the iconic roast battles between Martin and Pam. From there, the convo takes a serious turn—covering health scares like Lyme disease, the pressures on celebs to share personal stuff, and why some charity efforts miss the mark. They also dive deep into sports salaries, the politics of wealth, and how transparency (or the lack of it) shapes public opinion. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough—there’s talk of political corruption, AI taking over, and the looming risk of nuclear war. Just a casual chat, right? *** NOTE This episode was recorded before Trump's social media post*** ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel https://www.simonandschuster.biz/books/The-Black-Family-Who-Built-America/Cheryl-McKissack-Daniel/9781668033999 Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley Order - https://a.co/d/4pLD1C3 No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF https://a.co/d/cGFDUoB Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks By Charlamagne Tha God https://a.co/d/gpFlOol Check out Andrew Schulz www.theandrewschulz.com Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" https://blackeffect.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Yep, Shalameen the guy. Andrew Shoe. We all the brilliant idiots podcast. Back for another week of brilliant idiots. Let's start the show. Hesakaya Walker. What's up, my dude? What's happening, man?

Yo, I'm getting some hair extensions in right now for Street Fighter. Okay, shout out to Ina and Dasha. I thought you was just doing that. You know, he was trying something new. Maybe I'm blaming on that. Okay. Maybe they never asked me doing the first place. I just want to see it was like to be fabulous.

Why not, man? Why not? Should not be able to experience all these things? This is America. You can identify. With whatever you want to identify as, whatever you want to transition into, you can. Okay, don't worry about what executive order's Trump signed saying you can only be male or female. If you want to do it, do it, bro.

Yeah, you can only be male and female in what? In women's sports or the military. Outside of that, you could really be whatever you want. Yeah, in the world. Why not? That's what I'm saying. What's the young lady's names again? This is Ena and this is Dasha.

Ina and Dasha. They're putting Russian, Ukrainian? Which one? From Belarusian. Belarus, Belarus. Okay. Belarus. Okay.

And then Ukraine. Okay. Yeah. Where? dope, dope, though. We out here. Soviet Union, holding it down. Why not?

This is baby hair right here. This is baby hair. That is baby hair. They told me the other day. They were like, yeah, we're actually going to, the hair is really fine. It's like, it's from babies. Oh, dang. I don't even want to know how you've got this hair from like that.

No, no, they don't mean actual baby hair when they say it. Yeah, they mean that. Really? Yes. It's baby sloppy crap. It's baby sloppy. hair. What the fuck? Yes. We don't want to know how they got it. I don't even want to tell you what I'm thinking. No, I'm not. I won't. I won't. I won't. Do you know what I'm saying? I feel like people

understand what I'm thinking what I'm thinking right. But that's not that this is actually adult hair. There's 100% adult hair. No, it's not. You just said it was baby. Yeah, but I was probably just making a joke for the podcast, you know. Oh, so it is adult? No, it's fucking baby hair. Jesus. Which one is it? Is it baby or adult? Baby. Why you say that so proud? Why did you make it? I promised them they would not be talking on a pond.

I'm sorry. We're immediately interviewing them. Let's just mind our business. We have a factory of children that they're shaving their heads. You know what I'm saying? Do these kids? Have these kids consented to this? Do they get paid?

Bro, they could be making sneakers in China, but in this part of the world, they shave them down and they, you know, put extensions in, you know, actress hairs. By the way, I don't have a problem with it if it's like actually being done in a human way and a humane way. Yeah.

Well, I don't think it's inhumane in the way that they do it. Because baby hairs don't just fall out, do they? No, God forbid. God forbid, yeah. This is sad. No, it is, man. You're fucking up a whole generation of headlines

just for people to be in movies. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Look at all that baby hair, bro. That's fucked up when you think about it. How many babies did it take for that? Where are these babies, man? I need to see the last style bender,

the whole town looking like. This shit is fucked up, man. And what do you do with the rest of the baby? I don't know, man. Don't sell it for parts. It might be on a pizza somewhere, man. When you think about it, though for real, man. No, no.

No, don't say it. I don't even want to go down this road. Yeah, definitely don't. Listen, you know what we need to tell people? Chris took Adderall before the pot. Chris definitely took Adderall before the pot. So he's coming with crazy energy about 30 minutes in. Just know that it's a performance.

This is what commitment looks like. How long did it take for it to kick in? I'm starting to feel a little weird already. Really? Why weird? You're not used to taking that or all? No, I only take it in emergencies. I just, for context, I just got off a red-eye flight from L.A., so...

You're tired. What would be an emergency situation for you? Driving. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, driving. I keep it in my car. So I drove here from the airport, so I brought one up with you. Which airport?

Oh, you stressed the fuck out. Yeah, you stressed out. You need a brevet, bro. You should need... For kids, I have a prescription. Don't play around with this. stuff. Yes, don't. It could be dangerous. It's incredible. But don't do it,

but it's the best drug. How much did you take? A little five milligram? Yeah, I think I took like three quarters of a five. It said it gets you focused. What does I feel like? Focus. You have energy. You feel a little bit good. You're a little bit social, talk to have. It's incredible. I don't believe it. Hunter hasn't saying it's praises, so I don't believe it. If Hunter Biden doesn't sing a drug praises, I don't even want to hear it. Sholme it brings up a good point.

The way y'all, y'all don't even sell me on it just that. I know. I know. I know. For driving, sure. You know, focus. Okay. Yeah, it doesn't seem. Kids with ADHD also take it. In their case, it has the reverse effect, I think, where... It calms them.

If they're too hyper, exactly, it brings it down and gives them focus. I don't even believe in that ADHD shit. Or the attention deficit hyper... Like, I do believe in it because we all have it, obviously. But, like, there are things that we can hyper focus on. It's excitement. ADHD is just excitement. Yeah.

Like, you know what I'm saying? And it's hard to keep any of our attention nowadays, especially a child. Think about it like this. You know, think about how crazy this is. They used to take us, put us in a classroom, a bunch of kids, and tell us that we had to be still for 40, 50 minutes while they're teaching us some shit that we're not even interested in and then diagnose us with ADHD when we can't keep still.

And, Solomon, let me ask you a question. What did they feed us for breakfast before we went to go sit down? The sugary is the foods, frosted flakes, cinnamon, toast, crunch, corn pops. So you put sugar into our system, bowl by bowl mix it with dairy that's probably from fucked up mad cow disease and sit us in a classroom to read some books that we don't care about and expect us to actually be able to pay attention and gave us chocolate fucking milk stop stop stop gave us chocolate milk we got

chocolate milk in the morning chocolate milk at lunch and you wonder why the kids are so fucking hyper not his zoron's new york get your fuck out of here not his zoron's new york mom dine not his zorahoran said no it's not happening he's getting rid of adderil What? Curry everything? Oh, no, Adderall. Oh, I thought it's something about food. I didn't, I thought it's about food. Scott. It's Halao, bro. Halal's coming down $8. That's what he promised us. Shit. Allahs coming down $8. No Adderall in schools? No, and no Adderall in schools.

I don't know if he promised that I might have just made that up, but it seems like a good change. It's also a very unfair advantage if you ever take an Adderall. Like, there are these kids taking Adderall and then taking the SATs, taking Adderall and studying for, like, testing shit in college. It is more of an advantage than being born a male in a woman sport. Well, if y'all complaining about that, wait until they start putting the motherfucking Neurlink and all these other chips in people and motherfucker. You're trying to debate somebody, and they got all a fact.

just rolling off of their fucking tongues to that chip. Let's do it. I actually would love that. I mean, yeah, just if it's going to be the great equalizer. If it's going to be the great equalizer, then your little information that you got really means nothing. Somebody brought up a good point. I think I was talking to Rashah from Ernie Legion and we was talking about it. And he was like, you could get it.

But what if it's also just like they can just hit like a fail safe button and just blow you up or, you know what I mean, make you a vegetable? Like just put some type of mind control. Yeah. You know? It's not like you're just. taking the chip and you just got the access to it like your phone and you're using it like Chad GBT.

Somebody else could have complete control. Yeah, you want that shit outside your body. You know, like, I don't know if Elon can shut down every Tesla if he wants, but it wouldn't surprise me if he could. You can get hacked. Think about that. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.

When you start putting them chips and stuff in your body, you can get hacked. That's all I'm saying. Would you want that? No, I wouldn't want that. I wouldn't want somebody. But then you're at a disadvantage because you got comedians that are smarter than you, funnier than you. Yeah.

You're debating on podcasts and people are just rolling off information because. because the shit is just coming because they got the chip inside in them? Yeah, it seems like a massive disadvantage. I might have to retire and spend time with my family, God forbid. Get this money then, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. I'm serious. I see why Charlotte made an open five crystals in South Carolina.

I'm trying to tell you. He's like, I'm done with this information, this infotainment nonsense. Not competing with you robots? That's what I'm tapping on. I'm competing with robots. It's no way. I'm selling burgers, baby. And hire the robots to fucking work in the crystal.

Yeah, I hear you, man. That's what they sell crystals? What? I thought it was like a crystal shot. Oh, God. I can't believe you. Don't take Adderall. Don't take Adderall.

Don't take Adderall. Yeah. Chris? You've been doing crystals. What? The fast food chain? Yeah. I've seen it driving.

So you think people eat crystal? This is a southern thing. This is a southern thing. No, but no, your ass, you would start a crystal store hugging trees and seeing different. No, I would definitely do that. Felt the beast. Huh? Felt slightly on brand.

Yeah, but. I would definitely do that. In this case, no, no, it is not. Burgess, corn dogs, fries, milkshakes, you know? I need to make a statement because I saw Superman recently. Talk to me. And there was a scene in Superman that I'm shocked that you have not brought up yet.

Okay. Okay, where Lois Lane is disgruntled in her relationship. Tell me more. I don't remember that of what. They're kind of fighting, and then Lois Lane is like... Oh, and they have that long talk? And then she's like, I knew this wouldn't work. It's like, bitch, it's Superman.

Like, is there never a guy who's good at? It's like, who do you think you are? You know what was so funny about that scene? You barely a writer at the Daily Planet or whatever. He's Superman. And I'm giving you an exclusive interview. In the middle of you're disgrunt to it, I'm giving you an exclusive interview, and you bring it up the relationship.

He said, I knew this wouldn't work. He says that, too. He was like, I'm giving you an interview right now. I'm helping you professionally. I knew this would never work. If it don't work with Superman, you're going to be lonely and die. It wouldn't be kind of tough dating Superman, though. Yeah, but you'd figure it out because he's fucking Superman.

Maybe. Stop it. Maybe. You couldn't date Supergirl? No, Supergirl's different. Superman, not bringing no money in. Yeah, but hold on. I don't know if I could date Supergirls fun.

Yeah, but then she could kind of just tell you what there's no, you don't really have any masculine energy. Like, excuse me, pardon me, ladies, for what I'm about to say. There's women in the room, you know, I like to talk freely. Yeah. You know what I think about when I watch Superman, and all those superhero movies, Superman, Thor. Yo, pussy on other planets is trash. Yo, no, pussy on other planets is so trash, yo.

Superman comes to Earth and falls in love with Lewis and laid. Thor was on Asgard. He falls in love with a woman on Earth. Like, why do these superhero superheroes always fall in love with Earth women? First brunette, they seem. The first chick with brownie. They saw, they're like, I gotta lock this down forever. Forever.

These alien superheroes always come to Earth and fall in love. Pussy on other planets must be trashed. That's why they sent Superman here in the first place. His dad knew. You want to be sowing up with this fucking Googly-eyed monster? Get my boy down to Earth. Superman's dad was like the best times of my life was when we was visiting Earth. Send my boy.

Your uncle had a bachelor's part. I don't even want to waste no time. If we came from here, he might be gay. Sit him her. I'll tell you what my kryptonite is. He's just up here. You know what I'm saying? God damn.

Listen, if you watch the Superman movie, they show the dad and the mom and the dad is pissed up. The dad is like, go down there and take hold. He's tight, yeah, he's tight. He was like, go down there and find his many wives, literally. Yeah. Go down there and get his mom.

many wives as you possibly can. You saw it, Chris? No. Not hell enough he said all that. Yes, he did. Remember when Lex Lufa broke into the, whatever the Superman's all is? I thought Lex Luthor used AI to change what the parents said. No, it was real.

Oh. Yeah, Superman never had watched the whole video. Oh, so he thought that his parents were being benevolent, but in reality he was just like, yo, go take over. The dad, unless I missed something, the dad was like, go down there, find as many wives as you can, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's why they kept making that joke throughout the movie. It's like, what kind of harem does he already have? Oh, that's the harrow thing.

Yes, man. Would anybody be mad if Superman had a harem? Get out of here. I mean, he deserves it, but clearly, all it takes is one earthly vagina, you know, to lock down a superhero. He was sprung off that shit. Come on, man. Begging. And Thor had two hammers and still fell in love with one, one earthly woman, bro.

What the fuck, man? They don't even aid. You got to watch her. Nah, dude, this is... Also, they could have given his parents some veneers. Why did every old person in that movie have a bottom jaw like a skeleton? Oh, dude, it was... Did you like it, though?

I liked it. I thought it was brilliant. James Gunn is brilliant. He's the goat. He might... I think he's actually the goat. Bro, I got teary-eyed when they were building the flag. I'm not going to give away the home movie, but remember that moment where they're the, they're about to get attacked.

Yes, man. And they bring the flag up and you can't really see the flag, and the wind touches it. just opens it up and the little kid is holes in this thing, basically begging for Superman to come save him. Did you think it was too woke? I didn't get woke vibes at all. I didn't even a little bit. If anything, it was based. I don't know what based mean.

What base mean? The opposite of woke, I think. Hmm. Actually, I'm not exactly sure. Yeah, I didn't get, I didn't get wokeness from it at all. I'm just like, yo, if you're a Superman, wouldn't you stop a war? Wouldn't you stop a country from destroying these helpless people? Yes, that's the whole point of being superman.

I don't think that's woke at all. Yeah. And also, I don't think it's, well, maybe it's a little woke that Superman wasn't. it good enough for her. Ooh. Maybe that's a little woke. Ooh. Yeah.

Well, maybe he's super everywhere, but down there. Yeah, maybe you should. You never thought, you never think about that. They don't, they've never shown, listen, I haven't seen. Yeah. They've never shown Superman and Lois Lane in the bed again. At least in Marvel, you see the superheroes getting it in. You know what I mean?

And you can see why. You ever seen Luke Cage bang out Jessica Jones on Netflix? Not crazy. Crazy? Crazy. Bed going crazy. Breaking the bed. No way.

Literally broke the bed on the show. But that's what you want to see. And she could take it? She's a superhero too, though. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She got some fight. That's what I'm saying.

I mean, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I like James Gunner. No, James Gunner's up there with Quentin Tarantino to me. Goat. Goat. Like his tone in his films. Bro, the right amount of humor.

The dog. Just making that dog, is the character, makes Superman so endearing, this thing that he can. control, he still loves. It's so selfless. It taps into everybody who has an animal that they care for. Yeah, he's just so smart. Honestly, that's what I think a lot of people were really mad at.

When I saw people upset, they weren't upset that it was woke because he stopped the war. I think they were upset that Superman needed a black man and a dog to save his ass for a whole goddamn two hours. Whoa, I didn't see it like that. A dog, a woman, no, a dog, a black man, a flying woman, and a gay man with a bowl cut. had the motherfucking save his ass the whole goddamn film. What was the flying woman? Hulk girl. Oh, yeah.

The Justice Society was Mr. Terrific. Yeah. Hawk Girl and Green Lantern. Yeah. And the dog. I thought it was good, though. You know what I mean? I like seeing my superheroes, you know,

flawed, human, and you're not knowing if they're going to actually win or not. That's my only gripe with Fantastic Four. I think they got Galactus out of there too easy. Hey, I didn't watch Fantastic Four yet Oh, you're in Fitch, okay, okay Yeah, they got him out of there They got him out of there

A little bit too easy for my life Leave Pedro Pascal alone, though I hate how the internet's coming for him I'm saying that he's too touchy-feely With these girls, have you seen this? I have, man Leave him alone, Miles, bring up that one meme This hilarious

Here's the thing that I don't understand about Pedro Pascal The only people complaining about Pedro Pascal is the motherfucking internet I haven't seen a woman he touched complain yet So what does that tell me? He's literally as sweet as guy in person. But that tells me he knows who he should be touching.

Exactly. And why he should be touching them. Clearly they're fine with it. I mean, he's a charming, handsome guy. I don't think he's scary. It doesn't look he's like trying to take advantage. We haven't seen him out here being some lethario. I mean, this is just, this, this.

When they said he did. This is crazy. This meme says, Pedro Fasdow having an anxiety attack. What scene? What movie is this from? Wolf of Wall Street. Wolf of Wall Street.

But that's what they say. They say Pedro deals with real bad anxiety and all the people around him know that. Right. So they're there for him. I mean, listen, I understand how anxiety works, but he's probably using that as an excuse. Damn.

Damn, bro. To get some quick feel. But also, once again, none of the ladies are complaining. It's just the internet complaining. Exactly. So clearly he knows who he should be touching. Yeah, leave Pedro alone, man. good guy. He did a fantastic job

as Reed Richards, too, by the really? I thought it. Was Fantastic Four good? I enjoyed it. Okay. It's one of the best Marvel movies I seen in a while. I thought every Marvel movie that came out this year was trash except for Deadpool Wolverine. I thought the Deadpool Wolverine was last year, right? I don't fucking remember. I thought Thunderbolts was mid.

I thought Captain America Brave New World was mid. Fantastic Four was good. And Deadpool and Wolverine was good, but it wasn't about anything. Like, Fantastic Four is actually good, and as part of the larger MCU world. Does it make you excited for a dooms? What is it? Yes.

What is it? Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Really? It sets it up well? Absolutely. The problem I have with the fantastic, well, it's not a problem.

It's just that we told Marvel this five years ago. What? Just go to another universe. Don't try to make Earth 616 so convoluted. Go to another universe. Start over. We know that multiverses exist. But think about it, right?

Right after end game, they didn't went to another universe, whether it was The mutant X-Men universe are fantastic four. They're telling us right then and there that the multiverse exists. Yeah. So by the time we four or five years in now and we're getting into the big events like Dooms Day and Secret Wars, not only did we know multiverse exists, now we're getting incursions and shit like that. And you could have did like, you know, movies like Spider-Man No Way Home where they show

us these different Spider-Man coming from other universes because you already opened it up. You could have still did Dr. Strange in the multiverse of madness. But they should have started something completely different in a whole way. of the multiverse, man. And it would have made more sense over the last five years because we've gotten a bunch of garbage over the last five years. I just hate the

idea of the multiverse because it takes away the stakes of death. You know, it's like, you die, but yeah, you're alive somewhere else, so I still get to experience you. A version of you. A version of you was alive somewhere. I get what you're saying. I get what you saying. Yeah. It makes it too comic book. In movies, there

have to be some finality. Yes. And comic books, you read and you can keep it going, but in movies, you want some type of end. Yeah. Or just you want stakes. You want to know if this goes bad. It's over and there's nothing else that can happen.

And that's where the tearjerker comes in. That's why you're sad. That's why you're heartbroken. And the other superheroes from other places be more pussy. Meaning like in Dr. Strange in the multiverse of madness, Wanda killed every other superhero in the other universe. She killed the Mr. Reed Richards of that universe. She killed the black bowl of that universe.

Who else is genetic? Captain. What's the woman? name. The woman. Captain Marvel. Not Captain Marvel. The one with the shield. I'm blanking on her name. Why am I blinking on her name? I can't remember, but they killed her. They killed the other Captain Marvel, but she was black. Like, they make them too easy to kill. You know what I mean? Yeah, when you know you could just have another one pop up at any time, you don't got to develop a character. Yeah, even in endgame. And you know what's so crazy. When you watch Endgame,

in game introduced us to all of that. Ingame introduced us to time travel, introduced the endgame introduced us to the multiverse because you had two what's the sister's names? Oh, green girl. You had two of the green girl. You had two of the other one. I can't, my mind.

Give me some fucking Adorobe. Yeah. Who? Gormorah. And what was her sister name? Because there was two of them. Yeah. And they easily killed her when the other one came in

and just shot her, pow. Right before she was about to take the stones from Hawkeye. But Nebula. Nebula. Yes. But they did it in a cool way where they had already killed Gamora, and then it forced Chris Pratt's character,

forced Starload to interact with this woman that he had lost, but he was so deeply in love with. And, like, I thought it was the best display of the multiverse, but simply just popping over to another universe and starting over, and, eh, stupid. It's just crazy how... I saw Kevin Feigy say that they didn't have a plan after endgame, and I'm like, I don't know how when Ingame introduced us

to everything you introduced us to over the last five, is the multiverse time travel like it was just that shit was corny and nobody cares nobody gave a fuck but they back they seem like they back on track but let's motherfucking see by the way we are here i know we said last week that we weren't here but we are here you know what I mean where do we want to start with some uh events of the motherfucking week well can we just say that um I want to shout out I want to shout out the brilliant idiots fans man no that's not us no no no hold on hold on I want to shout out the billion idiots fans because it like The thing is that people might think they know what a brilliant idiot's fan is,

but you don't know who they are. You don't know what the family is. You don't know our interests. You don't know where we go with our free time. What are we doing on the weekends? Like, you might think it's this, ah, it's just this dude podcast who we just chop and shit up. It's like, no, we're going to all different events. It was cool to see some brilliant idiots at the WMBA game.

That wasn't us. Even though I do love the WNBA. Nah, one of them threw the dilly. They threw the dilly on the court. What you mean? One of them. They did it last night. Yes. No, we didn't start.

Bro, a second dildo has hit the goddamn tower, bro. What's the fucking deal. A second dildo has hit the WNBA, bro. 9-11, bro. I'm not talking about inches. A fucking green. This is the first one. The one last night was from the other end of the court. Jolly Green Giant. You ain't see the other one?

Yeah, I saw the other one. This is from the Golden State Atlanta game. You didn't see the one from last night, now? What I'm saying is it's fire to see brilliant idiots everywhere, reppping, you know? That's not what we said. What we said was that Andrew said that they should come out with some signature scrap-on. We said it.

You said it was a great idea. It was a great idea. Signature scrap-ons for the WNBA. But we didn't tell y'all to start going to the games and throwing them, bro. What game was that last night? That was the Chicago Sky versus who. Who they're playing? I can't tell who they're playing.

I see the Chicago Sky. Baltimore Bulldaggers. Man, shut the fuck up. There's a little. Yo, yo. You see my man, jump? Oh, no, you got to see my... The dude ref is not touching...

Oh, they're playing Golden State again. Oh, this is the Golden State thing. Look, the dude ref is not touching the Dilly Watch. Watch, she's like, I ain't grabbing it. The girl rep comes over and punts it. And the guy, Joe, put it on him. He grabs it with the towel, bro. Dudes will not touch a dick that's not ours, man.

It don't matter if it's made out of rubber. That's crazy. Listen, the drop the towel. That right there, Charleston. That's funny. The drop the towel and pick it up. I know he went, hey, yo. I know somebody yelled, hey, yo.

Hey, yo. This boys are killing him right now. They got the W.A. Not another one. No, it's the same game. It's the same game. No, that's the same game. No, that's different.

No, no, it's happened twice. This is the first one. It's happened twice, yeah. It happened at the Golden State Valky's Atlanta Dream game. It happened last night at the Golden State Valky's Chicago Sky game. I'm blaming the Golden State Valky fans. Look, it fell out of it. of her shorts. They try to blame this on the fans. It fell out of her shorts.

Yo, the crazy. Oh, there's, that's, stop her. Stop your blame this on the fans. No, stop. Get the fuck out of him. You know, they got Kelsey Plum throwing the dildo into the crowd. Stop. You, how am I missing this? I ain't seen none of those memes, yo. Yo, they got Kelsey Plumming. She threw the towel in the stands far and shit.

They got her throwing the green. DILDO and somebody catching it. I need to know the significance of it. Why isn't the Lime Green Dildo, bro? The catering commercial goes. Listen, but I do feel like the WMBA needs to have signature scrapones. I think that will be dope. I think that this is a perfect example of the cultural influence of the Brilliant

Idiot's Podcast. Now, in no way did we say disrupt the game by throwing Dillies on the court. That being said, the virality shows you that there's clearly a market there for the WMBA Dildo. Did you see Sophie Cunningham's tweet? Sophie Coneyham in the Indiana fever? She said, stop throwing dildos on the court. You're going to hurt one of us.

I don't know if this tweet is real, but this shit is funny as fuck. What do you mean you're going to hurt one? That's kryptonite to some of them, man. And it's line green. That's kryptonite. You know that it's kryptonite. Some of them lesbians saw the thing,

they said, no. Get it away from me. Yo, by the way, stop, dude. doing that shit, man. But you know what, I'm going to tell you ladies, if you want to get some revenge, and start throwing pocket pussies at the NBA games. Start taking the pocket pussies and throwing them at the WNBA games. Equality, bro. That might be equality.

Listen, some of those NBA players might get one of those pocket pussies pregnant, man. You got to be careful. Just getting it. You got to do it, though. Just to get some get back. Just for equality. If you want get back, throw to the kids. dildos on the court.

Nah. You don't think that that would stop an NBA game in its tracks. A dildo flies on to the court. See, there's no openly gay NBA players. See, the reason you throw the dildo on the court for the WNBA women because you know that there's openly gay women on the court. Yeah. So there's no openly gay men in the NBA to throw the dildo.

But no, I'm saying it's like that's even. Like if you're a guy and you like pussy and you're a girl you like pussy, then that's the same. So that's why I don't say that again now I haven't taken a add or all right If you're a guy and you like pussy And you're a girl and you like pussy

That's the same You feel the same way about a penis You're like I don't want none of that So You have the girl With the gay girl uses the penis We don't know if she's Nah nah they use the scrap

You think? God come on They use the scrap That strap had balls What are they doing with that? What are they doing with them? Why they play them? with the fake balls, though.

Who does that stir me? I don't know, man. I stand on the fact that any time a lesbian uses a scrap on, yo, if a woman is rubbing on it and you are moaning and you're the one with the scrap, that's the, that's mental retardation. That is. Like, imagine you getting the scrap sucked and you moan it. That's crazy.

You're getting the balls on the strap jiggle. And you're like, oh, who's it for? Who's it for? You don't need to suck the strap, lesbians. Who is it for? Oh, man. Stop throwing dildos at the WNBA games. It's not right.

That is, I would agree with that. Now, listen, can you wear them? To the game? Yeah, if you're a fan of the WMBA, can you wear like a scrap? I think so. They probably kick you out for that. Why?

What if it's your signature strap? Well, if you're going to go to the game, if you're going to go to the game to watch your favorite player, wouldn't you wear their jersey? Listen, by the way, we wear their sneakers. I could be completely wrong in this. I think that this is the WNBA. doing this, and I'm going to tell you why.

How are they even getting in the game with this shit on? They got to go to security and metal detectors and all types of other shit. It's put it right there. Even it's plastic. The detector detects something. You put it on. So they'll be like, oh, that's something large inside of you. Yeah, you put it right there.

And then what are they going to be like, yo, your dick's not really that. Yeah, nobody want to say nothing, right? Exactly. And if you see a fine girl walk in with one, then they're like, oh, shit, they're getting good. God. You think this is a man throwing or a woman throwing? I mean, it reached the court. I think that tells us a little something.

That's true. That's true. I'm not going to assume. I don't know. I'm not going to just put it on men. This could be a gay guy. This could be a woman. You know what I mean?

It could be marketing for the WNBA. You know what I mean? The WMB has its weeks where it's like all in the news and it has its weeks where it's very quiet. Because of these dildos this week, bro, it's in the comments. conversation in a real way. I hate having good ideas, man. I hate having good ideas. I'm sick and tired of it, to be honest with you.

I won't believe it's a brilliant idiotist fan until I see, like, them do what we said, which is match the colors of the team. Don't you do it? You know what I mean? Not for real. Match the colors of the team. Yeah, y'all, the lime green dildo is like, eh, match the colors of the team, and then I believe it.

You know what I mean? Okay, check it out. If you're a brilliant idiotist fan, make the next one red. I know why you're throwing the neon green because it stands out. So make the next one red or orange, like a bright color. Let me see.

I need to see if it's a brilliant idiotist fan doing this. Because we were the first people talking about the scraps in the WNBA, bro. And we were right. Sometimes it sucks to be right. But Charlotteman, I swear to God, the next dildo you will see on that court is going to be red.

And I just want you know that we put it out there in the world on this very podcast. I'm not encouraging you to do this because I don't think this is Brewing Nidious fans. I'm doing this to prove it's not brewing Nidious fans. Yeah, exactly.

You know it's so crazy though, man. What? Yes, that too. But now WNBA games got to put up signs saying don't bring Dildos into the arena. Yeah.

Like, the world is a spoof, bro. Bro, they got to put the thing at the end of the field goal unit. What? They got to put the net so that the people don't get hit by the ball. You know they did this

in the NFL, though? Dildos? Yeah, they threw Dildos. It was a Buffalo Bills versus, I think, New England Patriots game. And a guy scored a touchdown, and whoever threw that Dildo through it at the perfect motherfucking time. Hit him? It hit him right as he scored the touchdown.

No way. Or landed right by him. Pull that up, Miles? No way. Pull that up, Chris? That's not the weirdest thing in your search history. Pull up Dildo at NFL game. Why do y'all use Twitter as a search engine?

Hold on. Yeah, right here. You're not going to, yes. Buffalo Bills, Patriots, yep. But see it right there? That's crazy. See it right there on the field. And the funny thing is, as soon as he started doing this dance like this, the Dildo was right there.

It's like he got excited to see it. Buffalo Bills versus Patriots game. Bills was kicking. No, who was winning that game? The Patriots, right? Yeah. Why do they need to look so much like penises? Because it's a dildo.

Yeah, but like it could just. You could just deliver the... I will say if I was a stud, I wouldn't... I mean, that defeats the whole purpose, right? If you're a stud or a lesbian, why would you want a dildo that looks like a penis? That defeats the whole purpose. Yeah.

That's just proving that y'all need men. Right, thank you. All right, man. What else we got, man? Stop fucking with the WNBA players. What was up with this American Eagle Sydney-Sweeney at, bro? I didn't see it. I saw everybody in the uproar about it.

What was the problem? Let me read the headline, Chris? Just, it's, fat girls are upset that we're using pretty women as models again. American Eagle is stand-abized controversial ad campaign featuring Sidney Swinney, which includes various commercials with the tagline. Sidney Sweeney has great jeans. The campaign creates a pun around great jeans, which ignited outrage online over American Eagle glorifying the Emmy nominees,

White Heritage, and thin physique. Some users on social media even compared to ads. ads to Nazi property. So what that, this is... Let me see the commercial. Yeah, watch the commercial real quick and then... But then, yeah, right there, you had it. Is that it?

Yeah, was it? It's just got a... The ad got to play. I saw two things that people were arguing about this week. I was like, what the fuck are y'all talking about? It was this and it was the Martin joking on Pam shit. Oh, okay, hold on. No, that's not the ad. Is it? No, this is just like... Just look for it on Twitter or something. that you know yeah you get off Twitter to actually go on an actual site and can't find

nothing now I understand why you go on Twitter Sydney Sweeney ad let's see what this is jeans are passed down from parents to offspring often determining traits like hair color personality and even I color my jeans are blue Cindy Swinney has birthed teens I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans and I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever wine or that they make your butt look amazing why don't need to do that but if you said that you want to buy the jeans i'm not going to stop you but just so we're clear this is not me telling you to buy american eagle jeans city's tweety hasbert kings let me play it play it again

yeah why people throwing dildolid this bro i don't get it from parents to offspring often determining traits like her color personality and even I color. My jeans are blue. Okay, so it's a pun off her eyes being blue and the jeans being blue. All right. So this is. It's not even that. Yes, it is.

Because she says even eye color and then she says my jeans are blue. Yeah, exactly. That's the pun. She has blue eyes and also her jeans are blue. 100%. People are upset because they think that it's reinforcing this idea that blonde hair, blue-eyed, white women are the most beautiful or whatever. and that that's like the Nazi propaganda

where it's like, what should Germans look like, blonde hair, blue-eyed Aryan race, whatever. Here's the great irony of this whole thing. What they're actually saying is that Sidney Sweeney has great tits. What? That's what everybody... I love this man explaining. Come on.

Everybody knows Sidney's Sweeney has generational knocks. She does? Absolutely. Oh, my God. Absolutely fantastic. Some of the best... Everybody but you knows, and I know you've got to say it, and you know, you're being true. I've never paid no attention. Yeah, yeah.

Whatever. Okay. Okay. Welcome to the fucking milk parade, my boy. This right here, she has generational tits. I mean, unbelievable breasts, right? So they're doing a little tongue and cheek nod to be like, yeah, she has great jeans. It's like, those are the great jeans part.

Nobody is like, oh my God, Sidney, Sweden was the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Oh my God, she's the most beautiful blonde hair. She's not even blonde. She's a brunette. But the tits are absolutely exceptional with all their respect. They're so good they can sell jeans. That's how amazing tits are. That's how amazing tits are, is that someone with great tits could make you buy jeans,

which got nothing to do with the tits. I'm not discouraged. It's like what I bought to her shoes thinking I could shoot them. I'm not discouraging that take. That's a cool take. I get it. But I think this is about the eyes, my man. You know what I mean?

The people projected their insecurity onto the commercial. The commercial is tongue and cheek about her eyes and the jeans. No, it's I have great jeans. Like everybody, she's basically saying she's good looking. Yeah, but she explains. she explains three things. I think she references her hair. Yeah. And the last thing she references is her eyes. Yeah. And then she goes, I have great jeans.

I have, yeah, I have blue jeans or whatever the fucks. My jeans are blue. Yeah, my jeans are blue. Yeah, that's the pun. Like her eyes. Yeah, exactly. That's the double entendre or whatever like that. But I think we all know why they picked her. But how is this Nazi propaganda? I don't know. Maybe I'm- because fat girls make things up on the internet and people reward it. It's not a real thing. You can just say anything. It's not a real thing. What happened of body positivity? Can anybody tell me, why can't she be positive about her body. Lizzo gave it up.

Lizzo said, yeah, I'm losing this weight, so I can't be all representative no more. The second was up, it came around. There was no more biopositive. Lido was like, I can't be your representative no more. I need to lose this weight. What do you say, Chris, there's nothing? A couple people made a comment. Now it's turned into this whole firestorm. I read a

statistic. I think it was over the course of a day. Fox spent 86 minutes talking about this and three minutes over. So yeah. Talking about the Epstein. It's... So Fox? Exactly. Conservatives are like milking it. They're latching on to this. Conservatives are milking it for like, look at woke.

Yes. Conservatives for like, look at woke liberals. Like that's what they're doing like, look, they're outraged. They're upset about this thing again. It's like nobody should really care, but it became the biggest fucking thing on the internet. It's so stupid. I promise you, if I would have watched, if you just showed me this commercial with no context and my mind wouldn't even have gone there.

Not see proper games. That's the proper response. They literally did the same ad with Beyonce three years ago or something like that. All I'm sitting there thinking is when the fuck is Euphoria Season 3 coming? That's really what I care about. What do you want to know? I want to know what happens with the storyline. Me too.

Me too. I want to know about the storyline as well. I want my baba. I want Baba. I want Baba. My daughter wakes up every morning asking for Baba. Every time I look at American Eagle out, I feel the exact thing. And by the way, to your point, I don't even know if this is real outrage because, you know,

we got bots running social media. but if this is actually real outrage, boy, America really must not be in as bad shape as everybody is saying. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying. I got time to be mad about shit like this. Exactly.

Like, if y'all got time to be mad about shit like that. Did you see what Ari Lennox? Pull up R.E. Linux, Chris, talking about Martin. And how she felt watching Martin grow up. The thing that pissed me off about Martin was how much he would go on, Pam. Like, I know, like, And this is coming from a girl who love, like, I love me a good, like, joking-ass movie. And even when the joking movie is like, damn, like, that was fucked up.

Like, you know, I'm not, like, too woke or something is what I'm trying to say. Like, I'm honestly not, I'm problematic. I'm pretty problematic, low-key. But, like, but my point is, is that there are some things where I draw the line. and it just bothered me. Or like, I don't know. It's like, Pam was so fucking beautiful and so fine. And I just feel like growing up as a chocolate girl, like, I don't even know if I was able to understand the greatness of Pam because of the light that I feel like I was being fed.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm just like always going on Pam. Like, that's all I remember. And I didn't like that. But like, so I feel conflicted because while I feel like this show is incredible, and I feel like Martin is a legendary show and all of the actors and Tommy and like everybody, like legendary, amazing, like I adore them all. Like, you have no idea. And I adore Martin. Like, I adore him. I just was, it just would have pissed me off like the joking on Pam. I just didn't like that, you know. I like Ari a lot, but man, sometimes when you're too woke, you've got to take a nap, bro. You got to get some sleep. You're not thinking straight when you've just been awake for too long.

Like, the thing about Martin, everybody got it on Martin. Everybody joked with each other on Martin. There was never a time when Pam was a victim on Martin. Not only was Pam not a victim, Pam was the instigated, too. Pam would walk in and immediately start snapping on Martin, immediately start snapping on call immediately start snapping on Tommy, immediately start snapping on Tina. And you know what else? Pam was the object of desire for every single man on this show except for Martin. There's even an episode of Martin where somebody else starts snapping on Pam and Martin steps

up and Pam goes, uh-uh, only I can joke on her like that. Yeah. So it's just like I don't get when she says she didn't understand the greatness of Pam on Martin. Yo, to me, to Sheena Arnold's character was the second funniest character. on the show. And I'm only saying second because Martin got top villain. If you really watch it between her and Martin, they were the comedic relief on the show. Probably equally. The only reason it wouldn't be equal because Martin got more screen done. I would say that one of the reasons why Martin was so funny for me compared to like other shows around the time, like Seinfeld, for example. Like I would watch Seinfeld. I'm not saying Seinfeld's not funny. It is funny. But it's like,

okay, here are these different storylines and we're going to connect these storylines and these things that we made up with these characters that we made up are going to smash into each other and it's going to be really clever in the way that they smash. Funny, I get it, and it's great.

When I watched Martin, Martin was making fun of Pam's head. No, Gina's head. I'm sorry, Gina's head. That's his girl. No, no, no, no. That was a girl. Yeah, yeah. Martin's making fun of Gina's head,

but that's her head in real life. That's what was so hilarious about it to me. It felt so real. It's like, it's not just the character. It's Gina's head. So I would die laughing at that shit. And I don't know, for some reason, it just felt a little bit, like the stakes felt a little higher because these are real attributes about these people.

You know, I thought it was, I don't know. I've heard these people get on my fucking nerves when they say shit like, you know, we thought these faces were safe, but maybe they weren't. Man, shut the fuck up, man. We watched Martin and died laughing. I want to see that clip, Chris. I never saw that clip. Also, it's...

Yeah, I never saw it. It's long, but let's see what you see. It says, Pam has already addressed this herself. I never saw this. I know that there's been a suggestion that there's a sort of light skin versus dark skin sort of dynamic between the way Martin treats Gina and the way he treats Pam. Who be the hat? Yo, Pam, you should be the dog as usual. Have you ever considered that or do you look at that, and just in the way that, like, the things he calls you sometimes in character?

You know why I never considered that? that because originally the role was all fat chokes like I told you was written you know which is not better but we as a culture go through that and it's it's it's um I never was insulted by it

because first of all it's my job to to be able to bring life to this role and how do I keep a certain because there were things that were written towards Pam and Mark would say absolutely not I'm not saying that

So there are fights that happen off camera that a lot of people don't know about. I would say no to your question only because what Martin and I had was really organic. So wherever that comes from is because of us personally and not because of what we really saw in each other. Yeah, it wasn't derived from light. It just so happens that T-shirt is very light. And what happens is people... There was never colorism jokes. Yeah.

You know, this is the other thing that I think is, it's kind of interesting about all this in retrospect. It's like, you're on the biggest show on the planet, right, in that moment. You know, and it's the biggest fucking show. And it's not going to be the biggest show if every single time you're writing a joke for every single person, you're considering every single cultural sensitivity that could exist 20 years in the future. You couldn't predict that. Yeah, it's not even possible. So a lot of times, like, I actually like her answer

where she's like, you know, there's times where they said that he should say something to Pam and he was like, hell, no, I would never say that. I think that's great. I think she's defending it. Yeah, she said that a lot of their dynamic on the show was based off how they were in real life. Also, what I always interpreted the show is,

and again, I'm a kid at the time, so I'm not looking through the lens of colorism shit. But what I always looked at, it was like, your girl's best friend and you. He's going to get these jokes! But you're always at odds because you're fighting over your girl. Right, right.

Right? So it's like, I always would have a fun. contentious relationship with my girl's best friend. It was silly. It was great. I probably emulated Martin in that way. You know how much my wife warned me when her friends come around. What does she say?

Because you don't behave. Behave. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, yes. And you're not going to fuck with your girl. Yeah. The same way you're going to fuck with your girl's friends or other people.

Like you and your girl got your little inside jokes. Yeah. Right? And then you got your jokes with her friends. Pam was incredible in this show. She was this, bro. One A, one B. The only reason people put Martin 1A

is because it's Martin's show and he got more screen time. You see his characters. No, no, Martin. I'll be honest, I don't think it's 1A1B at all. But I think that she was... Yeah, it's 1 and 2. Yeah, it's 1 and 2.

But she was fucking exceptional because she was able to react to the jokes. If she wilted at the jokes, they're not funny. She was strong enough as a character where Martin could bully and we didn't feel bad. She gave it to him. She gave it to him. She was tough.

She's walking in clowning. on them immediately. If she had all felt sensitive, the jokes aren't funny. She was a strong enough character where they were funny. If Ari wants to have a conversation about, you know, Pam being underutilized on Martin, I could do that because if you're called Martin. It definitely called Martin. But that's what I mean when I say that. If you watch Martin and you watch Pam, the physical comedy that both of them exhumed, they both could do it. Fantastic. So that means that if they wanted to, they could have had Pam play characters. You know what I'm saying?

Pam could have played like a, like the same way Martin used to play Sheney. Imagine Pam playing like a hood dude. That could have been funny. You know what I mean? They could have done a million. They could have done it. That's the only thing I would say they under, they under. This is a compilation of apparently some of his worst.

This is. Martin insults to Pam, Angela Basset Hound. That's fine. That's a pun. Hilarious. Donkey Kong. I got to hear it in a sentence. That ain't a weave.

That's a wool sweater with glue. Filarious. Ain't nobody scared of you, Pam. I've seen your baby pictures. You were born with a tail. It's hilarious. You got so much weave, you can skydye with it. You like the female version of Bigfoot, Balada.

Now, go to Pam's insults to Martin. I bet you ain't nobody do that list. Yeah. Pam used to kill Martin. Call him Arsenio Smalls. Like, she used to kill Martin. Clown his ear. His height and his ears used to get all the jokes all the time.

His breath. She used to clown him on his height, his ears, and his breath. You need a sign that says next tooth a mouth. Oh, this is going back and forth. Alaria. And the beginning, right there riding in the other day. Tommy. I watch the man.

At last, I'm tall enough to get on all the rides at Disneyland. See? Physical comedy. You what she's doing? How did I'm saying? So Sheena Arnold was the funniest person other than Martin was in this film. I see why they get along so well. I see why they're together.

They have a very sharing relationship. She shapes his head. He shapes her bed. That's what the show was. That argument was all about you. Yes. Go to sleep. Go to sleep.

You're cool. Go take a nap. Shout out to Martin. Also, Assisi Campbell, Cassina Arnold. Also, every one of you, plus, every one of the people that has made those, like, rap battle videos where the audience is going crazy in the background afterwards, it's just a version of this that they don't even realize they're copied.

Like, what you would have been doing something, we would just roasting each other, and the whole crowd is going crazy around you. I think, I think. That's what makes it funny. I was about to say, I think comedic battles came first, but I don't fucking know. I really don't know. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This.

Yeah. All I know is Pam, DeChina Arnold held her own in every scene. That's why it was funny. There was never a time Martin told a joke, we laughed, and then Pam didn't respond, and we laughed just as hard. Yeah. Like I also don't think the writers favored Martin over her. Like, I think they wanted Pam to kill Martin because it made Martin more likable to us.

Yes. Martin stayed getting ragged. I'm not. Wasn't there a dynamic like that in the Jefferson's to take it back even further? What? Fucking, um, um, George versus. George, uh, Walona. The, uh, the maid.

Florence. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, George used to kill the maid, man. What's the maid's name? Uh, her real name is, um, uh, shit. I'm fucking, that, that, that, that, now, I really need the Adderall's day. Because how, I don't remember that? Hold on.

Hold on. Saturday, though. It wasn't the other woman, too? It is on Saturday. It is on Saturday. Well, he used to kill both of them. Right. Marla Gibbs.

Marla Gibbs used to play, uh, um, What was, yeah, Florence. Marla Gibbs used to play Florence on the Jefferson. That was the best. Yeah. Sanford and Son it was the same thing. He'd go. What?

Fred used to kill... This is every shell. Like, why are we making... What the fuck is they're on my brain today? Used to kill Ethel. Yeah. Is it Ethel? Oh, he makes sure it was Ethel.

Got me... I need Adderall, man. Pass me one for real. I think this is... This is... Ethel. Yeah. Yes, Esther.

Esther. Fred used to kill Esther on Sanford and stuff. man, shut up. By the way, we are recording this on a weekend, so. On Saturday. But it is true. It's like, God, not everything got to be oppressive.

You know, not everything has to be victim of the season. It's a comedy. Like, bro. Yeah. Like, do you really think there's a bunch of people sit in the boardroom? Like, how can we make this person on this show feel as small as possible? It's like, nah. They do that with Lauren La Rosa on Breakfast Club because me and Lauren clown each other all

at the time. As if I ain't been calling Envy a fraggle maggot for 15 years. You know what I'm saying? It's sad. Like to see the world like that, it's kind of sad. I come to fuck hard, man. Dionne Sanders is going to continue coaching despite cancer diagnosis. This was scary.

This was scary because I ain't never heard of bladder cancer. Oh, wow. You ever heard of bladder cancer, Chris? Of course. Oh. And that's on who has it, unfortunately. Damn. I'm sorry, man.

I never heard of it, man. Oh, shit. I'm sorry, Dion. I can't let Dion be the first disease we discussed today. Shout out the seat. No, it was not a disease. And Dionne's cured. Justin Timberlake.

Go to Justin Timberlake, taking fucking Chris's whole flow. Taking your whole flow, word for word ball for bar Chris. Justin Timberlake has been diagnosed with a disease that all brilliant listeners, brilliant idiot listeners are hip to because of Chris Moreau. Justin Timberlake. What do they tell me, get me a corona and... Get a corona in a line. It'll be all right.

Yes. Justin Timberlake. and sharing that he has been battling some health issues as he concludes his forgot tomorrow world tour, including that he was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. And I want the record to show this comes after him getting a lot of backlash for how bad he's been performing on these shows.

Oh, okay. Yes, that's the context of this. So he's been performing bad on these shows. I've been seeing some of the videos go viral. He's up there just really not, you know, dancing the way he used to. He just looks real regular. And so he decided to come out.

Let's play this. Let me read. this, Chris. I want to read this statement that Justin Tim Blake wrote. Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis, I was shocked for sure, but at least I could understand why I would be on stage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. Lime disease is a bacterial infection with the bacterium. What is that, Chris? I'm sure you know that. Borrelia Bergdorf. I don't know how it's being the most common cause. Yeah, Timberlake went on to

to say this week that he was faced with a decision to stop touring or to keep going, writing that the joy that performing brings me far outweighs, defleading stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going. He wrote. What do you think, uh, Schultz? I think it's a, um, I think it says made by the government.

Lime disease? That's a, uh, that's a popular theory. That Lyme disease is made by the government? The, well, not made. It's kind of similar to COVID in that. It was created in the last. and accidentally got leaked out into the general population. It's Lyme, Connecticut, right?

Lime, Connecticut is on the Long Island Sound. There's a government facility right off of the coast in Lone, Connecticut, where they, for years, were experimenting with various diseases that could be potentially used to... Bio-weapons. ...uses bioweapons. And the theory is, somehow accidentally by purpose, we don't know it got into the local population and spread from there.

And they put out something as weak as Lyme disease? Damn, bro. What you mean? It don't even kill nobody. Yeah, but it doesn't. I looked it up when Justin Timberlake said this shit. The fatality rate is so rare. Like very, very, very, very, very rare.

The most you get is a rash and some joint pain, Chris. Come on, man. Yeah, but it's stabilitating. What do you mean? What's the worst you've gotten, Chris? Personally? Yes. I mean, I've gotten all sorts of things.

Terrible fatigue is my bigot. I mean, you say that until you have it. Take a nap. No, he got terrible fatigue. What else, Chris? What else? I mean, it can't play Frogger. People are paralyzed.

People can't walk. Oh, Chris cutting it out. That's true. They get the loop. They get lupus too? No, lupus is lupus. Lime and something else. Chris just get a little tide,

can't move out the way a mopeds fast enough a little bit. That's two now that you guys are gaslighting me on. What's you mean? That's two now. You guys. That's two now. Come on.

I get the call. Yo, I got run over. I'm in the hospital. and plus they diagnose me with Lyme's that's going to be, you don't want that car. Come on. Who got ran over? I'm saying it could happen to you.

I'm not saying it can't. All I'm simply saying is line can be cured with antibiotics. It cannot be. What, Chris, that's not true. They can't cure it. Look it up, Chris. Look at you.

If you catch it, read every book. They said if you catch it early enough. If you catch it early enough. If you get a bull's eye rash. Yes. You go to the doctor, you get a prescription for doxycycylline for, let's say, two weeks, three weeks.

You have a very week. very good chance of beating it, you'll be fine. All right. The problem is not everybody gets a bullseye rash when they get it. So you don't know. It's very small. You don't know. It gets into your system, and then that's the problem at Rex Avaick from there.

All I'm saying, it doesn't Tim Blake wrote a letter that sound like he's dying of cancer? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, did it demand all of that just because you got some backlash from your tour? You're asking someone with lob disease. It sucks. I mean, I'm not putting out press releases. You've got to deal with it.

You got to keep going. Yeah. What do you want me to say? It sucks. Right. Yeah. You got to drop a press release after Justin. You got to play it. You got to beat JT. Yeah, JT. has made this a worldwide story just by embracing it. I've had to take 3.5 milligrams of Adderall every brilliant idiot episode from the last 10 years to get through this.

I'm sorry, Chris. Maybe you just haven't been selling it to us the way that you should have. Justin Timberlake talked about Lyme disease the way Hunter Biden talked about crack. Facts. Now, Hunter Biden sounded delicious. The way Judge Timberlake said, it's like, Timbley shut the fuck up, but it's only because, I guess, other people haven't taken Lyme disease

as serious as you should. How many more people try it crack since Hunter Biden? How many more people are going to try to get bit by ticks since Timberlake put this? Oh, nobody's fucking with them ticks after that. I grew up in the South. I used to get ticks all the time. It's not in the South the way it is on the Northeast.

Oh. Yeah, because they created the disease in the Northeast. On a scale of one, the gonorrhea, Chris. What is it? Gronorrhea. You never had gonorrhea. Would you rather have gonorrhea or Lyme disease? Gonorrhea.

Is there a cure for gonorrhea? Yeah. I'll take gonorrhea. You just go to the fucking doctor. You take the pill. They give you a little pill. You have some liquid shits and then it's gone. But this is why people don't talk about Lyme disease because it's not a-

Oh, don't give me that. Don't give me that. It's not fucking HIV. We don't talk about Lyme. No, no, no. It doesn't present. People don't give a fuck. That's why I don't, that's why my press release is still in my drafts.

I know, man. I know. They need to make that new movie, Philadelphia, but starring Chris. With my honor, I've been tired all day. But you see how you reacted to Chris? That's how I reacted when I first heard J-T, but it's Chris's fault. I'm blaming you, Chris. Yeah, Chris is softened a blow for us.

That's what I'm saying. You never made us feel like Limes. You're too productive. Because nobody gives the fuck. You are. You're dressed sick. You got great sneakers. You write great books.

Your dick is fat. And I know that, listen, you have more. and you have more of a fear of mopeds than Lyme disease. You made me, I look both ways when I walk outside because of Chris. Every time. He's never made me feel that way about Lyme disease. That's a great point. Well, but if you, I mean, Andrew in the Hamptons, out east, ground zero.

I found a tick on my penis when I was young. Damn! Tick on a dick on a dick. Yeah, well, I'd be careful out there now, especially with kids. You got a check. Turned out it wasn't even a tick. It was my uncle. Don't you hate with that?

Did he get fat on that dick? Did you tell you to flick them off before you got fat on that dick? How fat did I don't get on that? We're going to grow up, guys. No, one of these days... We are not matured enough to have a lot of conversations. One of these days were growing up, man.

I swear to God. Seriously, seriously, seriously, seriously. If people want to put a stop to the Lyme disease once and for all, what can they... Where can we go? There's no known cure. That's the issue. And frankly, they were working.

working on a vaccine, which would have at least protected you, the program was canceled as part of Trump's cuts. No way. Yeah, you can wait a little bit longer for that. Wow. RFK not fucking around with him vaccines. I'm surprised that this is an issue that RFK hasn't brought up. It's very much in the wheelhouse of the world where he kind of lives.

That's a lot of other diseases in front of Lyme, Chris. Okay, but RFK don't want to do more vaccines. He's trying to do less. Take me out of this. Just consider that like most of the people, not most, but a lot of the people affected with Lyme's live in the Hudson Valley, New York, live in the Hamptons, Fire Island, Connecticut, wealthy areas,

a lot of resources. Yep. You would think that this is one of the conditions that they would actually... I don't think they know they're tired because they don't work. You know what I mean? Like, you got a real job.

You're a valid fucking point. Like, some Kennedy doesn't have a job. Like, they don't work. You know, so why would they're like, oh, I'm tired? That's what life is. It's being tired of doing nothing. Listen, I'm, I am, I have empathy for... Highly sympathetic, I can tell you.

No, I have empathy and sympathy for area. Everybody dealing with any type of health issues. I thank God I don't have Lyme disease. Chris, I'm sorry that you have to go through this. But Dionne's just got his bladder removed. Not even in the same conversation. You know what I'm saying? How do you hold MP after that?

And he didn't sound like JT. JT sounded like he was about to die. He just got some crazy diagnosis. Like I almost thought about stopping the tour. You ain't never heard Deon say he was thinking about not coach. By the way, he didn't say nothing. We know he was thinking about. We saw who was there with him.

Who was there? Oh, that was wild. You talk about Carucci? We know what he was thinking about it. Not after Carucci, man. Carrucci getting a crash course on dating the old demand. Because, you know, that's what's going to happen. I want all of y'all young women to know that.

When you date us old men. You know what I'm saying? Prostate checks. It might be prostate check. Either you and a doctor. I'm going to be dealing with something. That's right. You were the doctor.

I'm going to be dealing with something. You just need to know that. That's why I tell old men, I don't know if you really want to be with these younger women. because as the great T.K. Kirkland says, you need somebody who can recognize the signs of a stroke. That's a fact. You know what I mean? You need somebody that can recognize the rash that Chris talking about.

What's the rash are talking about, Chris? The bullseye rash. The bullsire rash. You need an old woman that can look at it and be like, that don't look right. You need to go get that looked at. You know how many of these fucking dudes have died of strokes because the young women, they were day

and thought they were crumping. They pussy fire. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That took out you, EFner. Didn't he die? Didn't he die fucking? The guy, the governor in New York State, Rockefeller.

I know that. I thought he was gay. Oh, no, that's the other Rockefeller. Yeah, with his mistress, no less. Oh, no, that's Rock Hudson. No, Rock, yeah. Oh, yeah. Um, yes, man.

Hey, listen, shout out to everybody with Lyme. He hoped that you. Come on, man. This is serious illness here. Stop playing around, dude. You got, you got land, bro. There's ticks Roman over there. Yeah, there's some ticks in your backyard.

There are some ticks. I've been bitten by ticks my whole life. They got children. It's the South Carolina. We should take the light in, like the- Those are different ticks. Different ticks, bro. Ticks above the Mason Dixon.

All I'm saying is this shit don't deserve a goddamn press release, man. Well, I think that's what Chris was saying too. He's like, yo, thug it out. You're like, thug it out, J.T. All Justin Timberle got some backlash for giving out bad shows and you blame it on Lyme disease. Bro, you're old now. You're not going to dance like you used to, J.T.

I know that people are used to seeing Justin go out there and pop lock and drop it, because that's what they used to doing with Instinct. He's an older man now. He's not doing that anymore. How old is he that he can't pop lock? Justin Timberlake was there? I could pop lock.

Justin Timberlake, way older than 40. I'm 41 I could pop lock. Justin Timberlake age. 44 years old. You want to go out there and do that shit night after night, man. You're older now. And by the way, older artists need to prepare their audience for that. You're coming to see me on tour.

Don't expect to see 20-something-year-old NSYNC, Justin. I can't do that like I used to. Don't expect to come out here and see my love, Justin. I can't do that like I used to. It's just not going to look the same. Prepare your audience. But no, you want to tell them you got Lyme disease. Am I moving too much, Ena?

I'm sorry. I ain't seen them putting that thing in a long time. Oh, sorry about that. You said you got very hard tools? 430 degrees the tools are. All right. Well, I'm not going to move anymore. Okay, I'll be very careful.

That thing she's using is 430 degrees? 430 degrees. That's 30 more than juvenile. That's crazy. I know. Wow. Let's pay some. Bills, My House. Shout out to everybody with Lyme disease. Shout out to all the brilliant idiot

listeners with Lyme disease. We don't want to, uh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wake up. Hey, hey, wake up. I know you passed out because of your Lyme disease listeners episode of Brilliant Idiots, but we try to shout you out right now. I'm trying to shout you out, man. Okay, they're back. They're back. Hesekiah Walker, do you have church announcements? Yo, I just want to thank everybody who came out to the charity paddle tournament that we did over the weekend, man. And everybody who donated. There's a lot of people who just reach out and they said that they don't even though they weren't coming.

It's an amazing charity baby quest. And we're going to help, I think, a couple families or a couple couples start their families. And that's a really expensive process, IVF. But I don't know. Oh, that's fire. Yeah, it made me feel really good, man. It made me feel really good. We got to play paddle.

Our wives couldn't bitch about it because we're raising money for a great cost. I was watching the video. You can hit it off the side? Yeah, everything's in play. I didn't know that. But you can't hit it first. It has to hit the ground first like tennis. And then after that, it can hit all the different walls.

It's like squash for a racquetball. Exactly. If you took squash and tennis and put them together. And, yeah, it was just awesome. A lot of people came out just to support and watch. And, yeah, it was just great. So I want to do more of these. So if you're anybody who, you know, has, like, advice about doing charity stuff and maybe how to build this out and...

Start a nonprofit. I did with the mental welfare line. Okay. Maybe I'm going to just talk to you about that because what I don't want it to do is, like, become one of these, like, what I think, at least it seems from the outside for yours is that, like, there's, nobody's making money off of it. All the money is going towards this thing that's helping people. And that is my fear. It's like sometimes these nonprofits become things where, like, the CEOs are making... half a million dollars, you know, it's just like, I don't want, I don't want to make any money off

of this at all. I want everybody who's involved, like obviously, I respect your time, but I want to put as much money towards the people, you know, making babies. And I think that'd be, I don't know, like, to me, that'd be really cool, man. And that's the best because, you know, like, the way I do the mental wealth alliance is I know that I'm able to raise money more than the average person. Right. Right. So when I say I want to provide, you know, free therapy for five million black and brown people, you know, over the last five years. Or I say I want to be able to increase the number of mental health professionals by providing them with scholarships or, you know, grants while they're in school and, you know, and giving

them the money to be able to go through those things. I know that I'm able to, I got more access to more capital than most people. So I just take that money and then give it to the organizations that are doing the work, you know, the organizations like the Black Men Hill or, you know, Silence to Shame with Shanti Daza. You could do the same exact thing. Like, you have more access to these rich mother. fuckers. Yeah. And you take that money and then you go, you know, distributed to people who are going through these different IVS phases. Is any of that covered by insurance? So some people,

their jobs cover it. Some people that don't. Some people their jobs only cover like the first round. And not everybody's lucky where the first round it works. So you might have to do multiple rounds. And then you might have to do, you know, more testing. There are a lot of different things. Like some people have very like specific issues that they might not be able to be held by just strictly IVF, right? So, yeah, I mean, the goal for me would be, you know, what if we could get 20 couples in a year? Fire. Like, to start a family. Fire. Like, I don't know. It feels really cool. And, like, who knows? Maybe next year we could do 40 and then continue. Like, it would be a dream, like, to have at least one of these a quarter and then maybe do them around a big show that I'm

doing already. So get all the people to come and support and donate money from the show to it. I just thought it was really cool, man. You know why it's like that. dope because you should only start a nonprofit when it's something that has impacted you and affected you. Yeah, yeah. So the reason I, you know, have a mental health nonprofit is because I'm a proponent of mental health. I see it the one this therapy has worked in my life, right? Same thing with you and IVF, you and your wife went through that. That should be in your wife's nonprofit. Christian started one about Lyme disease. He's just enough been talking about that. We're going to go something off the ground. You should. I mean, it's also, it was really cool to

see all the sponsors come out because a lot of them had to go through it to have children. So, they got really invested. Like this function health one, that like they test every one of your biomarkers, they just donated a retreat. It's a $30,000 value that they'll fly you out to Colorado, do all these tests and everything like that. I mean, it was a million, my God, Paul,

I mean, Eric Paul, he's been great, and he had a bunch of brands that he's working with, and they all donated stuff. So we had a great raffle for it. Anyway, I left there. I was nervous the whole day. I don't know, more nervous than I was to do a comedy show. It's so weird because, you know,

you're playing this tournament. But I left at the end of the day, and I just felt the same type of accomplishment, or maybe even better than when I put a lot of effort into creating something. Well, you're helping other people. It felt so cool. So I would love to do more of it,

and I'd love anybody's advice on obviously, Sean, I want to talk to you. And if there's any people that would like to donate or be involved, I think she just dropped a hot iron on my neck. So I might not be here next week. That's true. Let us know. Listen to me, I think it's fantastic.

Yeah, like I say, anytime you motherfucking find something that a cause that you can be attached to to benefit others, it's the best. Like, it's the best. And yes, yeah, I mean, there's no advice. You got it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You went through a real life experience. Yeah.

I'm talking more just like the back end type of stuff. Oh, how to set up your nonprofit. Yeah, like setting them up and also like choosing the right people. Again, I hear about all these nonprofits you hear about. And I don't want to knock them, but like, you hear these nonprofits where it's like 90% of the money goes to marketing. And it's like- Poor operation. Or operate. And I'm just like, dude, I'll take care of the marketing.

Like, like, I have friends who have also gone through this and they have influence and they would love to share this kind of stuff. Let's not spend any money on that. Right. Let's give all the money to the families that need and use me as like a public figure to be the mouthpiece. You don't have to pay for ads. We're going to do your fucking ads. I will say, I don't know about, I get the marketing. Like, you know, we spend a little bit of dollars in marketing as far as, like, social media.

I think marketing does work for nonprofits because you do have to get the word out because you have to get people to donate. Like, I know I don't do a good enough job, you know, advertising the mental wealth alliance. Really, I don't do a good enough job of asking for donations. You know what I mean? Because there's a lot of the work that a lot of this shit, I've been funding out of pocket for years. Yeah. But you're supposed to have a fundraiser who works with you and also a grant writer who gets grant. There you go.

That's the type thing. But, like, I don't want to make sure that staff gets so much. we're not donating the majority. Like, it has to be the lion's lion's share going to the actual people. Yeah, but you do an event. You posted on your social and that's going to get you more and the event obviously has to selfishly serve me.

But that's what I mean, I do that with the mental welfare for every year. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? 100%. Yeah. Shalute Desheral-Machysak, Daniel. We have her book, The Black Family,

Hey. Oh, you leave this week. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So I'll be out there for a couple months. You said that shit like you want to hit the comedy clubs or something. I think I do. I think I'm going to start getting back up over there.

Even with your hair like that? Yeah, it might be even crazier. They're going to think you really going through something, bro. They're going to be like, yo, first he went Nazi, now he's going school shooter. Like, they're going to be, like, they go on with me. They don't think you really want to do something. My best material comes when I have crazy haircuts. That is a bag.

So you don't even know what's about to happen. A bag. 100%. Two months in Australia, man. That's going to be crazy. I'm going to miss you guys. I'm going to miss you, too, man. Dr. Lumar needs money.

Dr. Lumar has never asked for a dollar in his life until now. Now, what is this situation? I keep hearing people talk about it. What happened? Dr. Umar has access to no money right now. Because my personal account contains all of my money. I only send it to Apple Pay and PayPal as necessary. So the Prince of Pan-Africanism for the first time in my life is without any digital currency.

So for my loyal supporters out there, for my loyal supporters, if you can spare a few dollars so I can take care of Queen Mother Ether, tune day and myself until my bank account is frozen or canceled so I can get my money back and open up a new account, please hit my Apple pay or hit my PayPal. My personal PayPal account is Umar the psychologist at Yahoo.com. So that's PayPal. dot me slash Umar the psychologist. PayPal.com. slash umar the psychologist PayPal. dot me

slash U-M-A-R-T-H-E P-S-Y-C-H-O-L-G-I-S-T-P-P-P-P-H-O-L-G-E-P-P-E-P-E-H-O-M-A-L-E-C-E-E-P-E-E-E-V-E-E-E-V-E. I've never asked the people for a dollar in my life. I have never asked the people for a dollar in my life. I've only asked you to donate to the FDMG Academy for boys. I don't have any sons. I have two daughters. So the FDMG campaign is a selfless project, mission, and service to provide our boys with the education that they deserve.

But right now, I don't have any money because my account was frozen by my bank, because someone has been trying to hack into my account, hack into FDMG Academy account. So the FDMG Academy account is frozen. My personal account is also frozen. that means we're going to lapse on our utility bills we're going to lapse on our internet bill we're going to lapse on a lot of our bills at fdmg the bank is not giving me a timeline as to when this situation is going to be resolved

let me tell you something that video right there should prove to people that dr umar is exactly who he's always claimed to be because dr umar has never asked anybody for a personal dollar people always think that when he's asking for donations he's doing it for selfish reasons,

but the school is in Delaware. Like, we can't sit here and act like that school is not in Delaware. We can't sit there and act like, you know, he hasn't shown us all the renovations he's done on the school. I think, you know, what's that have to do

with his personal finances? He said they froze his account. What's that got to do with the school? He says that he's paying all those bills through his personal account. Well, that's not how you run a school. Oh, Chris. Don't, you know, you're asking too many,

your data is kicking in. You're asking the real question to him. So maybe that's the thing. Maybe Dr. Umar just hasn't been up on his business the way he should have been all of these years? I think that that could be a... I just don't think Dr. Umar would get out there and personally ask for money if he was using that money for personal reasons. If he was using the money he was getting for schools for personal reasons, even if his account was frozen, he wouldn't get online and expose himself like this and ask for actual money and tell everybody, hey, my accounts are frozen. I believe him, man.

I believe him. I believe him, too. I believe him. Dr. Umar, I got a charity paddle tournament with your name on it. You just talked to me. I got a charity paddle tournament. You know how to play Paddle? With your name on it if you talk to me.

I got a charity paddle tournament with your name on it if you talk to me, okay? The Prince of Pan-Africanism can be playing a Cheryl Paddley tournament with your name on it if you talk to me. It's very simple. It's that simple. It's very simple. Just pay him. he always said he'd do an interview with you if you pay him I'm the prince of paying capitalism

so I have a charity paddle tournament with your name on it if you come talk to me I don't know I agree with Charlemagne like usually I'm the most cynical skeptical person on the planet but like there's something about this that uh I just believed I don't know what to tell you Dr. Umar would not get online and tell people I don't have any money personally coming in right now my account because if he was muddying them he would just say

give me more donations. Yes. But this one he's not saying give donations to the school. He's saying give us personal donations. What Chris went, which I think is a good point, which is if you're worried about paying the things for the school, then you could just ask for more donations while the accounts became unfrozen. Well, Chris is saying he shouldn't be using that money for personal expenses anyway. That's what you're saying. Yes, because then it gets a little money. You can't run a school through your personal bank account. Well, yeah, white man would say that. Right. Hold on now. That's how we got into this problem in the first. place, the white man separating bank accounts.

Hold on you let the Prince of Pan-Africanism have his own bank accounts and do his own business. I think we might be off a little bit on this. He's saying that his accounts for his school are frozen with his personal. He's going to hack into my personal account. So I was trying to hack into my personal account. And now he's saying, so we're not going to be able to pay the utility. The utilities and stuff like that. Which Chris is saying those things shouldn't be in your personal account.

Okay. Now, it is possible that maybe he misspoken that his school account is also being hacked. Maybe all the accounts are under attack. I thought he said that. So where are we sending money to then? You're sending it to his cell phone, according to that video. I would, I would, you're asking too many questions, bro. You sound like the cops.

You sound like the feds over here. You're asking too many questions, okay? The guy has no sons. The school is not for his personal benefit. He has no sons. He only has daughters. So he's asking for money so the school can stay open for all the sons that do need that education.

I think Dr. Kumar is doing something right now that he has not really done. which is asked for help. And the critique that I've heard from people about his school was that he would simply just ask for help and assistance. He could be further along and he could get accredited, but I think he really wants to do this on his own. But the problem with asking for health and help and assistance is now somebody else has influence over what you teach and educates.

Which is why he wants to do it all on his own. I don't blame anybody want to do something all on their own. But I guess the advice that maybe Chris is saying is that there are certain measures that you should take to separate the finances from the school from your personal one, so you're not in this type of precarious situation. Yes.

But I also do think, I don't think he's scamming nobody right here. I really believe he's in the situation he's in. Dr. Umar would not make a video like this and expose himself like this if he wasn't telling the truth. I implicitly believe everything Dr. Umar says. I think it's one of the things, one of the things that Dr. Umer and I often miss is he believes that I don't believe

him, which is wrong, I believe him. And I also find him to be incredibly entertaining and one of the best orders of our time. It is. And I have people hitting me up wanting to help Dr. Umar. Like, so, yeah, like, they are a lot of people who believe Dr. Uma. I believe him in this instance. Like, I don't think Dr. Umar's lying in any way, shape, or form. I do wonder why I didn't know they freeze your accounts because somebody's trying to hack them. I didn't know they freeze them permanently. Yeah. They don't. Yeah. They don't. They don't. permanently. This is very bizarre to me.

I've got to be honest. Yeah, it's, it's not a great look. Let's just call it what it is. But, you know, Charlemann and I, I think, you know, we're seeing through it. I think we're seeing through it. We're not going to be cynics and skeptics here.

We're seeing a man who's trying to do good in the world. And we're believing him and taking him at his word. Yeah, if they're, if his accounts are frozen permanently, there's a bigger issue going on. Yes. You know what I'm saying? And,

and I think I know what that bigger issue is, but I don't want to just speculate. and put it out there. I think I know where you're going, and I hope that that's not the case. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope that's not the case, too. White women?

No, man. They have been known to freeze accounts for white women. If he's bunny hopping, they will freeze that account immediately. He could be snow bunny hopping. Black queens forever, snow bunnies never. I said black queens forever, snow bunnies never. I said black queens forever, snow bunnies never.

Yeah, I mean, he'll be back on Breakfast Club soon. I mean, these are questions I definitely want to ask him. I just was thinking about even, like, you know, when you're asking for money for donations for a school, and he is putting that money into the school, the school exists in Delaware. You can see it. It's online. You can go there if you want to. He's been vandalized.

He's actually putting the money in the school. Is there a building or is there a school? It's a building. But that's my point. It's a building. But it's not accredited. Yeah, it's not accredited as a school yet. It doesn't have the certification and everything yet.

So that's my point. it's like, what does that look like on your taxes? Like, how do you write that off? What do you say that is, what I'm saying? Also, depending on, like, what he's teaching, he might not be able to be an accredited institution. And maybe that's what he wants. Like, if he's not adhering to the standard of accreditation,

maybe he's like, yeah, that's the point. I want to teach history in a different way. I want to educate these kids in a different way, you know? Yeah, I just want, that's what I'm saying. I just wonder how the business of that works out on your- I heard, and this could be a complete rumor, but I heard that he spent the remaining money as accounts on American Eagle jeans.

Shut the fuck up, man. That's what I heard. And that could be a vicious, disgusting rumor on the internet, but I heard that he spent the remaining money in his accounts on American Eagle jeans. Okay? Listen, pull up the Kyrie Irvin. I like this video, Kyrie Irvin did.

Carri Irvin, he said something that we talked about here a few weeks ago on the broadcast. Talk to me. Talk to me. You'll know what it went, you know what it is. Kyrie, we actually literally talked about this on the podcast. What's the context? Kyrie Irving, NB. Kari Irving speaks on NBA contracts.

Type in Kari Irvin speaks on... I saw the comments. Yeah, they were interesting. Yeah, the comments were very interesting. It's funny, but once again, just like the deal with those in the WMBA, we were on it. Me and Andrew were having that same exact conversation. And which was, just so we can fill everybody in? Right there. He said, Kari Irvin says,

Let me see the headline, Chris. Carrier Irvin question whether an NBA contract should be public information. It could get a little intrusive. He basically said it makes you a target when people announce how much money you're making. Sir Irving said on his live screen, right there. See you right there, Chris? Right there. Don't cross your kid up on the chat.

Brett, now that we're here, man. Let's talk about it. You are my longest 10-year friend, brother. We'll find it and insert it. But basically he was just saying that it's right there. I found it interesting in that. I wonder if people know how much that put. Okay, yeah, Kyrie Irvin.

Oh, I find it very interesting that, of course, people will know what CEOs of Fortune 500 companies make. They'll know different avenues of nine to five jobs in terms of the contract structure. But when it comes to sports, it's like you know exactly the pay scale, the details of it. And then it gets discussed as though there isn't any real live consequences to that. I wonder if people know how much that puts you.

to target on someone's life. It helps the overall growth of the sport, the sexiness of it, like, oh, guess what, Kyrie, so-and-so is making this record-breaking historic numbers, but I look at it as it is too much information, but is it too much information at some point? Because when does it become comfortable for me? If you know exactly what I'm making, there's an awkwardness to that. I love the engagement when we see Devin Booker gets X amount of money, richest deal ever, but it gets framed as if it's the richest deal ever. But at the same time, there is a bigger financial situation that's going on. Is that him still as quote?

Knowing the financial side of the NBA used to be a niche topic that not many people understood. They even took an interest. That's just. Yeah, we got it. We literally talked about this. Yeah, so a few weeks ago. Just refresh me on what your take is on this. I have an interesting.

My take is I don't know why anybody would want anyone to know how much they're making. I agree with Kyrie. It puts the target on your back, number one. I understand why agents want to do it because it makes them look good, right? Like, if you're an agent or you're a manager and you know, you got somebody this big deal or you got a business structure that's making people a whole, you know, a whole lot of money. When you put it out there, then people start saying, well, who's his agent? Who's his manager? I want to be with such and such person. But for you, the player, it doesn't do anything for you. And the other thing I would say, too, it's like when you see a number, like, Kyrie Irvin got like 150. $50 million deal, $200 million deal. Cut that in half, right? Because most of that is going to go to taxes, right? 40% of that is probably going to go to taxes. And then you still got to pay your agent. You still got to pay your lawyer.

And then you're left with what you're left with, which is still a shitload of money. Don't get me wrong. But I just don't see how that benefits anybody knowing that. I completely understand him. Like, if you're making that kind of money, you don't want people to know. So I get that a thousand percent.

But what I think that this is indicative of is that athletes are starting to make money that is so obscene that they maybe are feeling uncomfortable. Bro, if you get somebody, you got a $400 million contract? I think they're... You know what phone calls you getting by the?

I saw Dwight Howard say that somebody asked him for like $100 million. It was like some crazy... I forgot what the number was, but somebody asked him for like some ridiculous amount of money. And so Dwight was breaking down how like the money you saw

they said I got, I don't get all of that in my pocket. I got to pay taxes. I got to pay lawyers. I got to pay agents. Dildos. Lime screen, too. Shout out to Dwight. Dwight just trying to get a job on a basketball team, bro. That's really what it comes down to. Shout out to white. That shit fell out his pocket, man. Let him be a fan. Man, shut down. Let him be a fan. Let it be a fan. But I just don't see, to your point, I just don't see how that benefits the player, the person. I get how it benefits the agent.

It benefits the player. How? This is like a bigger trend. I feel like NBA players are starting to seem really out of touch. Yes. And really privileged in a kind of bizarre way to me. It benefits the players because fans care about how much people get paid. You know, what happens on the court is only a very small percentage of what fans are engaged in right now.

Do you really think they're engaged in the business? Yes. It's because we make them give a fuck. You know how many times people are on like ESPN trade machines, factoring in salary as part of this whole ecosystem. Yeah, but that's more just to like understand trades. I understand what you're saying. And I think being out of touch is a thing.

I just think that like athletes are starting to make obscene amounts of money. They've always made lots of money. Don't get me wrong. Making 10 million, 20 million, 30. These are these are insane amounts of money. But when you get into this, this world where you're making 300, 400 million dollars and these deals are continuing to go up with these contracts, they start to become targets. the reality is, as much as we love successful things and successful people, as human beings,

we have a jealousy and resentment for that success. So if Kyrie's making $400 million and he's talking about how we need to help the Native Americans, I imagine some of those comments are like, my man, go help him. Why are you asking me to help him? You made $400 million. You're not even playing this year. Go help him. So I think that energy is, I think they might be starting.

to feel a little bit of that energy. I guess I'm just saying I'd like to have those problems. Yes, I would. No, you wouldn't. No, you wouldn't. He would trade Lyme disease. Me and Chris, you don't think he would trade Lyme disease

for $400 million if somebody asked them? Which one would you have more money? They wouldn't say Corona with your Lyme. They'd be like just high-price tequila with your line. I would get her in bottom. Let's go. Okay. You wouldn't want those problems.

We talk about this all the time. I don't want, I just don't think that's something you should put out there. I would rather see what it is you do with your money, but even when it comes to the athletes. But think about it in practicality, right? All salaries are now unknown. And then you want your team to trade for this guy, or you want your team to sign this

person, all the stuff that fans are very invested in. And now they can't make a deal. And all the fans are going, why don't you get him? Why don't you trade for him? The reason is because the salaries don't match, but we don't know that because no one knows what the salary. But why are we protecting them? This is the thing that understands.

It's like, this whole game that we're invested in that. We know how much CEOs make. we know how much CEOs get bonus. Like, we know how much everybody makes. We knew sometime. For the majority, majority, especially like publicly traded companies, I think. You don't know. Is that true? I think we know how much. Oh, no, yes. I said, yeah, you know, you know, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it fluctuates a lot more because a lot of it's based on stock, but you have a basic understanding of what people know. So, like, I think that's- I think we find out when CEOs make bonuses. Like, I just recently, Paramount, just put out how much their CEOs were making, and that was, like, two months ago. I mean, Chris McCawley, he's stepping down or leaving. But he was making, like, 19.5, like, the whole. The three CEOs of Paramount was making like over $60 million.

He's more anonymous. People in the street wouldn't know who he is necessarily. Does he move with security? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, exactly. And these aren't publicly traded.

So I guess you don't have to know. But it is one of those things that's like on the list of problems. It's like, get over yourself. Like, oh, boo-hoo. They know that you make $400 million to bounce a ball on the ground. Like, I don't think it's that. I don't think that we're that concerned when, 50% of the country can't afford their student loans.

The other 50% of the country doesn't know where they're going to live next month. And then Kyrie is complaining about how, oh, why do people know that I have half a billion dollars coming down? Tell people how much you made on your special? 7.5. Y'all don't believe you. Y'all don't believe that's the real number. Yeah, that's a number. For the Netflix special?

Yeah. Why would you say that? Bleep that. No, I'm not actually saying it. I'm teasing. Oh. How much did you make for off the infamous? I can't tell you.

But that's my point. Why won't you tell people? Because I did it. Yo, if you want to make your own business, you get to decide how much you get paid. You're an employee. That's legit. You know, start your own league. And then you've got to find out.

But you're an employee of the league. And those are the rules of league. If you want to change it, that's fine. But I don't think we've got to sit here and you'd be like, oh, what a victim. People know you made $400 million. That is a good point. Well, I think what he's saying is, to your point, NBA, you don't have. have to announce how much we make because it puts a target on our back.

I get it. That's what he's saying. But they do is what I'm saying. But they rob. By the way, it's not the NBA who does that. People rob broke people all the time. Like, why are we acting like only rich people get robbed? The majority of people that get robbed are broke.

It's the agents, though. The agents and the managers be wanting people to know how much they got these deals for these clients for it. Of course. It gives them more clients. There's also collective bargaining agreement where we can kind of do the math ourselves. Like the CBA tells us. what a max contract player gets.

And they just shut the fuck up. Maybe. But to Chris's point, it's like, how can you think about who can be traded? I like, I like, this is a comment he made. I don't think, like, this is a hell that he's trying to die on. No, no, no, exactly. He don't care about this so much. It's like, come on, man.

But, time out, I think that what y'all are speaking to, even with the NBA and the collective bargaining agreement, why do they even have to make that public? That can be inside basketball. Nobody, we don't have to know. Like, we don't have to know what the fucking math. contracts are for or what this person is going for. You can still make deals and trades. Fans are invested. They care about.

Look, we didn't know what. Invested just to be mad? Basketball players made in the 50s or 60s. No one also watched the sport. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's this hyper kind of connection to the sport and everything that goes around behind the scenes.

Michael Jordan never got a big... Michael Jordan never got paid to his last two years in the league. We didn't give a fuck. We didn't give a fuck those first 11. When he did, when he did get paid, we talked a lot about it. He was making $36 million. Yeah, we was like about fucking time. Yeah, we thought he was underpaid.

When Shaq got it, and think about it from the owner's perspective. And this is, if I'm an owner, right, think about when other players watch other players get these max deals and get what they get. And they're like, oh, I know what I'm getting. Like, I remember when Shaq held out. I'm just, Shaq held out because he saw Alonzo get a certain amount. He saw Alton get a certain amount. He was like, oh, I know if they got that.

I know what I'm going to get. So imagine if everybody just shut the fuck up and didn't make those things. public how easy it would be to negotiate. But think about it. If you were a, if you're an owner, like if I'm an owner, I want everybody to know how much they're making. So when they sit out, when they play, I have to play two games in a row, I want all the people in the stands that spent, yeah, I want all the people in the stands that spent

the last fucking few pennies that they have to take their kid to his first ever basketball game. And now all the superstars are sitting out while they're making $400 million a year. And while you're busting your ass doing overtime at the factory so you can even take your kid to that game, I want you to be, I think the owners are like, yeah, you should be upset about that. If you're making $400 million a year, you're playing every fucking game. Now, the other angle to that is if you play every game and you pull your fucking Achilles, we invest in 400 million in you and you're not going to be able to play for a year.

So I understand that side as well. But I think that the owners are like, yeah, let everybody know. So when these players bitch and complain about everything, I want the fans to know that they're making $400 million in bitching and complainant. So the Kyrie's point, this is benefiting everybody except for the player. Yeah. The owner, the agent, the manager, the league. So it's benefiting them in that they're getting $40 million a year. Absolutely. So you got to absolutely.

This is my question. And I was actually listening to an NBA pod on the way over here. And they were talking about Devin Booker just re-signed $75 million a year. I saw that. Lucas did a big deal today, too. Right. So in my mind, I'm like, how much are these owners making? If they can pay one guy, 75, is it all...

They're making less. Is it all in the valuation of the company? Yes. They're making less than... The owners make less than the marquee players. But when they sell. But there are so few teams, and they have gone up astronomically in price. I mean, the Lakers sold for $10 billion.

The Celtics stole for West 6, sold for $6 billion. So it's like the people who bought those teams probably bought them for millions of dollars. Right. So there's a limited amount of teams. If you buy one, it is a 100% guarantee that it's going to go up astronomically. They're not even worried about what they're making year over year. It's like they just want to break even, really. They might even want to take a loss so they can write it.

Write it off on the other businesses. Let's look it up. How much, let's look it up. How much revenue did Phoenix Suns, how the fuck you spell Phoenix? P-H-O-E-N-I-X. How much revenue did Phoenix Suns make in 2025? Let's just look it up and see.

That seems fucking low. It says $369 million. That's revenue or that's profit? Revenue, it says. $369 million in revenue, but it's ranked 12th in the NBA with a franchise. value of $4.3 billion. That's the valuation.

No, that's the valuation. Yeah, but I don't even think that revenue is after costs. No, revenue is just money generated. It says the revenue is derived from local TV media rights, ticket sales, and sponsorships. What is the term for profitability? It's called, what is like revenue minus expenses? Let's see. But wouldn't the players contract going to expenses?

Exactly, yeah. So what I'm trying to say is I think there was one point in time where, like, the most profitable team in the league was the Lakers and they made $40 million that year. Let's see. What's the most... Which is less than what they're going to pay to their players. Exactly. But when they sell, they cash all the way out.

That's why they're not... That's why the buses sold. A lot of people don't know that. The buses were not cash rich. Shit. Lakers and Nicks make over $500 million of revenue a year. But that's revenue. It's revenue minus expenses. It's called what? Profit. Yeah, but there's a term.

Hold, I'm looking at it. I'm looking at operating income and revenue. This shit's, I mean, this can't be right. What? It says 528 million in revenue, 191 million in operating income? I'm looking it up right now. That's crazy.

Yeah, the Knicks and Lakers consistently rank near the top in both valuation and profit. Valuation of the NIC 7.5 million, 7.5 billion. Right. Lakers 7 billion. Golden State is actually the highest Golden State is the highest, yeah Hold on one sec,

what the fall of, what? I'm looking up something. So the Lakers made like 200 million last year. That's profit, after expensive. That's profit, yeah.

Now, that's the Lakers. Oh, okay, okay. Imagine what the Utah Jazz made. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and armorization. I mean, shit, they can afford to pay them motherfuckers then? Well, like, what the fuck?

Let's look at how much the Indian-van appraisers profit. But Indiana don't have no big contracts like that. Of course they do. Every team has max contract players. You have to pay. Who's the max on the pacers right now? Aliburton. Aliburton got the max?

I don't think Halliburton got the max. Miles Turner just left. They left because they didn't want to pay them. So the Indiana Pacers profited $68 million last year. It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money. But if their max contract player is making $50,000. million dollars or whatever it is.

It's like, what's the max contract for the fee? I don't know. I really don't know. What's the math contract for the people? I really don't understand the business of the NBA, to Chris's point, because these motherfuckers be paying the shit out of these players. Like, a team like Boston got two, $300 million contracts. I don't know how you, I really don't get how you justify that.

That's why they're trading people off now that there's a new owner. The new owner doesn't want to pay it. Does shit feel a little NFL-ish? It's like, yo, let's get rid of these guys. Let's dump these guys before we have to pay this money. I was like, how do you even keep teams to keep teams to? together like this. Baseball contracts for the wildest. Wild.

They're about to go through it, though. They're about to fucking sit out. Yeah, it's going to be an interesting thing when they... Yeah, I don't get it, bro. I'm not even joking. I don't understand this sport shit no more. I really don't. I don't get how they justify paying these motherfuckers all of this money. Unless it's to your point, you just are going to sell one day. Or it's a bubble that maybe the valuation doesn't continue with increase. I mean, if I'm the NBA, I'm really worried. because when I talk to young kids, like teenagers, they don't watch the NBA the way I did as a teenager.

100%. They watch overtime. 100%. Those are the stars to them. Bro, if, keep going, keep going. No, but it's like they care about all these kids' clips online. Those are the stars to them. Way more than like an NBA stars.

They watch the NBA, but they live for the overtime. If the NBA does not figure out what linear, TV did not figure out, they're going to be, in other words, like linear TV, like TV shows that we all watched, just kept selling ads on TV. And people stopped watching shows because you start watching clips or you watch other things and you watch overtime, you watch that. If the MBA sees viewership continue to drop, right, eventually advertising dollars will go down. If advertising dollars go down, those TV deals will go down. So what they should be working really hard at right now is figuring out how to monetize

the places where people watch the content. So if that means ads on Instagram or TikTok or overtime or these things, you have to do it. But they're going to, what I think most people do is you get comfortable with these deals. And once you get a TV deal for X amount of dollars, you're putting all your effort and getting people to watch those shows. Right. Like if I was the NBA, I would, I would, I'd be moving towards a streaming platform. And they are.

Amazon's going to speak. Yeah. Oh, wow. But I think their, excuse me, I think their strategy is to expand. It's not to do what you're saying. But the money comes from the TV deal. And if the TV viewership is down, you're going to see the same thing that happened with late night. You're going to see the same thing with happen with-

But they can't figure out. So they're like, yeah, we're going to, I mean, they were talking about today. They're going to open up a European division, right? You're going to have teams in Greece. And they'll get paid off of that in the short term. I think you're right in the long term. So if I'm one of these teams banking. on getting a $8 million

billion dollar valuation 10 years from now. I will say though, live sports is still one of the only I don't want to say sure bets but only one of the for sure bets for advertisers.

You know what I mean? Like like because people, it's always going to be an audience especially when it's playoffs and championship games. But not 82 regular season games. Regular still it's it's great.

They still average like almost 2 million viewers, right? Like, that's a lot of eyeballs. For TV nowadays, to just be on a regular random Sunday. And the NFL still does through the wazoo. NBA still does at least 1.5, 2 million viewers on these freaking Saturday nights, Friday nights. They only got, what, 17 games? 17 games.

So it's like all season. And it's not a version of overtime. There's nowhere else to see football but the NFL in college. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Football, there's a lot of hoops you can watch. It's not the NBA.

I'm going to be honest with you. I do media, bro. I don't give them. I don't know. I mean. Because we're going to go where the people are. We're going to go where the motherfucking people are. If people start fucking with a podcast, that's what we are right now.

Like, we have that ability to move around. They don't have that ability. When you get a billion-dollar contract for linear TV, you've got to find ways to get people to watch linear TV. And if it's game 41 in the middle of a season, a bunch of teams that nobody gives a fuck about, you got to start throwing dildos on a club. Yo, authoritarian strategy is still cooking out here.

Talk to me. Okay, authoritarian strategy is still cooking. Donald Trump fired the labor statistics chief after data showed unemployment rates are higher so he didn't like the fact that the labor statistics came out and it showed that unemployment was high where he decided to add to the unemployment rate by firing the labor chief.

How fire is that, bro? That's so sad. Imagine a girl didn't orgasm you broke up with her. You know what I mean? She's reporting wrong. You know, come on. It's safe to say this is authoritarian strategy. When we go to CBS, go to the other thing, Chris.

Go to the CBS thing. This was crazy, too. Trump forces CBS to appoint a biased monitor. So Paramount also agreed to eliminate when they, you know, Paramount did the deal with Skydance. They approved it. But Paramount agreed to eliminate his DEI initiatives, including all his DEI messaging.

The FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, The sole dissenting vote issued a blistering statement calling it an act of, quote, cowardly capitulation that could set a dangerous precedent reshaping the future of entertainment while eroding the freedom with the press. So why can't you be biased? Like, this is freedom. You have freedom of the... Press. Freedom of speech. They are free to be biased.

This is also after shaking down Paramount for... 16 million. I mean... Light, though. They got off light. But it's not even... In the Trump world, they got off light. Yeah, but it's not even the money. It's more the... It's more the statement, right? It's more of them just bending over.

They're capitulating. I think you got to hold them accountable, too. But I agree. You can't, like, we need the freedom to be biased. As much as we might want to complain about CNN or Fox News and how they're so biased, at least there are options. I don't even think it's about being biased. I think it's about being honest.

Yeah, but you should be able to have Donald Trump on your podcast, Andrew Shultz. Yeah. And then critique Donald Trump if Donald Trump does something you don't like. You should be able to vote for Donald Trump. You're crazy. And then critique Donald Trump if Donald Trump. if Donald Trump does something. Charlie, man, you're talking crazy, pal.

Why would you say such an insane thing like that? Once you have someone on your platform, you have to believe everything they say and support everything they say, even if it goes against everything that they said they would do. Listen, I got a theory. You know, I love putting out a good theory. Donald Trump's going to make CBS his new Fox News.

And the reason Donald Trump makes CBS his new Fox News is because he knows that... He can't trust Fox News. He can't trust Fox News. Interesting. Rupertuck hitting him with that Roper Dope, baby. Rupertuck got the Wall Street Journal doing this. but then they got Fox News doing that.

But how soon, how soon before Fox News starts doing that to Trump? See, the reason Fox News won't do that to Trump is because Fox News still knows where his bread is butter, even though the Maga Base is highly upset about this Epstein thing. They're not just upset about Epstein. They're upset about Gaza. His base is furious.

The economy, you know what I mean? Yes, his base is very, very upset. But Rupert Murdoch's not going to let Fox get on that train yet because the numbers are still there. But he's letting the Wall Street Journal cook when it comes to, you know, getting that Trump. Trump is like, all right, Rupert, I'm suing you for $10 billion. Watch what I do with CB.

I'm going to make CBS my new bitch. There's no question. That's it. And it's incredibly dangerous. But yeah, it is dangerous because you want people to be able to call out the people in power. An unofficial state-sponsored news media is that's a hallmark of every. With that North Korea Authority.

Oh no, no, no, no. That's official state-sponsored news media. Right. Well, Russia plays with official and non-ofical. Yes, that is true. But yeah, the people over there know it's like if they go against Putin that they'll probably end up in a ditch. You're going to suffer.

And one of the great things about America is you could talk all this shit you want about a president and nothing will happen to you. That used to be the case. That's what we hope and that's what we want. You know, but you guys have to call that out. And people don't understand. understand that the pendulum swings both ways. Right.

Yes. Like as much as I can't stand Fox News, if the Democrats were in power and they'd been in power, would never say, now go knock out Fox. It has to be there. I would encourage people not to watch it, but you can't take it out just because it helps you in the moment. Can I tell you why it's important that we have dissenting voices in media, Charlemann the God?

Talk to me. Because unfortunately in our, and we do have a good system compared to most of the countries, but unfortunately in our system, every single election we have to choose between two corrupt individuals. Corruption is not a thing that dissuades somebody from or precludes somebody for running for president. No. Corruption is ever present. It exists. It's something that we've become almost like painfully used to. Right? Actually, I can't imagine politics without it. And so you're basically voting for the person that you know will probably be corrupt, but says they'll do some things that you want more than the other person, right? And every time these people that we supposedly

trust or empower, we kind of like look the other way to the corruption of the people who says they're going to do the shit. It's like the Clinton Foundation, when she was Secretary of State, is raising fucking tens of millions of dollars. The second she stops being tech secretary of state, they're raising like fucking 250 grand. I wonder why that is sounds a little bit pay to play to me. Now, it's not just her. It could be Trump with his meme coins or Trump putting the pressure on CBS. Anthony Pelosi with Inside a Trade.

So it's like there's this thing that happens in American political rhetoric where we only ascribe corruption to the people we disagree with. While we fully know that the people that we agree with are corrupt, they pretended Biden wasn't senile for four fucking years.

And then tried to, they wrote books covering up. By the way, nothing pisses me off more. I like, you. Call bullshit on both sides. Don't act like, you know, what that person is doing is okay just because you support that person. Exactly. I hate that shit.

And you know what? You can call on your side and then you can also celebrate them when they are doing the things that are important to you. And that's good because unfortunately we live in this system where both sides are going to be corrupted. We have too much money in politics, too much influence in politics where these people are not corrupted. So that means Trump. That means Biden. That means Pelosi. That means fucking Ted Cruz.

That means any of these people, right, that are involved in our system. That sucks. It does suck. But it is the reality that we live in. And I don't know if we really get anywhere by just pretending like our political opposition is the only corrupt one. But that's why the draining the swamp rhetoric was so powerful. People were finally like, yes. Yes.

Somebody wants to drain the swamp. Yes. That's why the outsiders, I guess you would call him outsiders, like a Mundani. That's why he works. Yes. You know, because he's something new that's like, yeah. yo, let's drain the swamp. Let's make things more affordable.

He's bucking against the system. Anybody that looks like they're bucking against the system is going to always win. The reform candidate has always won. You can look past, you know, the last, I don't know, fucking probably 20 elections. And the reform candidate is always going to be the one that wins because people are upset and they want reform and change. The unfortunate thing is that there is so much corruption that that reform and change is hard to come by. But I don't know. I'm curious your thoughts on this, too, Chris.

Like, do you think it's an unfair assessment or do you think that there's... I think there's levels of corruption and levels of being compromised. I think all politicians, especially at this level, are corrupted and compromised. But it's like there's some countries in the world where there's corruption at the highest level. And then there's some countries in the world where if you get pulled over by a cop, you've got to give them 20 bucks to keep going. Again, that's why I'm saying we have a really good system. Ours has been kept at a very high level. We have a really good system.

Right. But the problem is Trump is now pulling it to give a cop $20 to keep driving down the road level. Okay. when it's these very blatant shakedowns, when it's very obvious what's going on. I mean, I'm actually in some ways more concerned about the firing of the labor statistic person than anything because...

Well, then how can we ever trust the data that's going to come out? I'm like about to... I had a meeting with my financial advisor last week and they were like, put more money in the market, put more money in the market, and I was like, all right, like they made the argument, it made sense.

I'm about to pull all my shit out right now. Why? Because... Because how... There has to be, and look, there's some information that's always never revealed. There's some information that's always in a gray area. But you have to be, the market has to be able to react to information. If jobs go down or don't hit the level that the president likes and it's going to hurt him in the moment and the reaction is just to fire the person, then you know whatever the next round of statistics are are cooked.

Yeah, how the fuck does the market react to that? I agree with you, Chris. I'm going to tell you something else, too. this is peeing on people's head and telling them that it's raining to the highest level because it's the same thing Democrats did to a certain extent. I'm not the same thing Democrats did.

It's the argument I would make when Democrats would say things like, you know, the stock market is high and the GDP is high. If the people on the street don't feel it, that rhetoric means nothing. So Republicans are making the same mistake that Democrats made. You're going to tell us that inflation is down. You're going to tell us the job

numbers. People have jobs, but then people in the street are like, where? But this, more so than anything I've seen in the last couple months, has really made me think Trump is desperate in this moment. Because if I'm trying to talk myself into Trump or surviving Trump or whatever, the thing I've always been is like, the dude worships the stock market. He's going to keep the market okay. It's not going to get too out of control.

He's going to make moves in the short term that are going to benefit the market. This sort of shit will destroy the market. You can't do it, man. I don't know, again, I don't know enough to say it will destroy a market, but I think that the people who are dictating the market are not using, like, the jobs report as their single, like, It's not the only index that determined. But I think I agree with you is like,

But where does this end? You need bad information. Right. Because if you don't have bad information, you can't make any sort of judgment. You can't make sure. So the bad information is important, and you need to make sure that we're getting real information. Right. You can't just, like you said, you know, what is it, pee on people's head and then tell them to rain.

A hundred, 100% agree. I think the tricky thing that comes off is when we pretend that there is not corruption on both sides, right? It basically alleviates the pressure of either side, right? So when Republicans go, oh, the Democrats haven't had a fair primary in the last three elections. What are you talking about elections or rigs, right? It allows, when Democrats say that the Republicans are trying to rig the elections, and don't call themselves out or their own people out, it allows Republicans to just go,

you motherfuckers won't even look at yourself, you haven't had a fair primary. The thing that I think Charlemagne has been doing really well, especially in the Daily Show, is calling out the system in its entirety. It's a system. And when you call out the system in its entirety, you force your opposition to listen to you

because they are also frustrated in the system. And now they can't just turn a blind eye to what their own people are doing because you're acknowledging that this is a systemic issue. And we can make the argument that Trump is doing it in the most egregious manner. To that, I would also say, like, pretending Biden wasn't senile for four years and covering up is, I think, a pretty dangerous proposition.

A year and a half, maybe, but. Well, anyway, fair enough. But you get the point that I'm not trying to frame it, like, the Democrats would never do this. The Democrats would never fire this guy. I'm saying, no Republican would ever do this either. Right. This is completely authoritarian.

Yeah. Like, we're in a new. Yeah. We're in a new, incredibly dangerous. error right now. We're not in the era right now of Republicans versus Democrats. We're in the era of authoritarian strategy versus democracy. Even if it's a compromised democracy, it still was a functioning democracy. So I think when you say that Trump is desperate, I think that he is desperate for a political win. What I think is he's realizing is that his overall base does not care

as much about the immigration tactics as they thought. Right. They might have, he might have ran on immigration. That might have seemed like a big deal, but, like, they're not just satisfied with that. That Epstein shit is bothering them, and what's happening in Gaza is deeply bothering them. I think it's, I agree with that,

but you're missing one other thing. The money. Money. The economy. Like, we, we... Well, yeah, I think that all those things are functions of that problem. Like, if the economy was humming, I think that Americans could turn a blind eye to what happens.

All of it. But the fact of it... But the fact that... that it's not humming, and we hear billions of dollars continue to go out of the country while people are struggling here, you start to get a little bit tight wallet. You're spending $200 million on a White House ballroom. Right. Who the fuck is paying for that?

He said it's coming from him and his private donors. That's first of all, that shit's just going to take forever because no Mexican is coming to work on that site. It's not happening. There is not a Mexican in the world that is coming to work on the White House ballroom. So that shit probably going to take at least five years. Right? Okay.

All right. That's number one. Two, just the American people, I don't care who's paying for it if it's private donors. When I hear that the president is spending $200 million on a White House ballroom and I'm starving, I'm pissed the fuck. I agree with you. I 100% agree with you. And I think that either he is not able to do the things that his base wants, i.e. stop the

starvation and destruction of Gaza and release the Epstein files. Right? So either he can't do those and he's looking for some political win. And then this jobs report originally comes out and it says that they're up 258,000 jobs, whatever. And they're like, finally, we have some good news. We get to show that the, I don't know if it's the tariffs working or whatever, the economy is working. And then the jobs report changes. And it's like another hit.

He can't even be the strong economy guy. He's not going to be the, I'm going to end the wars guy. And he's not releasing the Epstein files yet. So they have no political capital right now in a base that is absolutely furious at them. And it's his fault. Like I did Laura Trump show. last week, and I said that to her. It's like, because we were debating about,

she asked me a simple question, how do I think Trump's first six months have been? I'm like, it's been horrible, right? And like, you know, when you do things like the big, beautiful bill, like that may benefit somebody like me and the, you know, the tax bracket I'm in, but, you know, everyday American people are going to suffer, right? Like, you know, you're getting rid of people's Medicaid,

blah, blah, blah, this and that. And so she turns to me and she goes, well, aren't you happy Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons? Nobody was worried. about them here. But that lets me know, even they know. And I go, listen, and it took to my, my response to that was, sure, I'm happy Iran doesn't have capabilities to make nooks, but guess what? That's not what he ran on. He ran on groceries and he ran on changing things like the economy on day one. Oh, and he ran on, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, done, around 30 days. Yeah. Over. Over.

Over. Absolutely over. And also, I think that people got to realize, like, Americans do not feel this, like, existential terrorist threat from the Middle East that we did when we were younger. Okay, I think that we've realized that, oh, there was a lot of lies told to us there. And Muslims are not scary people that want to just destroy America all the time. That's not something Americans feel anymore. Americans also do not want to spread democracy throughout the world. We don't give a fuck what your government is. As your question, did you feel that before 9-11?

What? Did you feel any threat from the Middle East before 9-11? There was one moment. So America's traditionally always needs to have a, boogeyman, right? For most of the century or at least the last 50 years, communist, Russia. Yeah. That's the threat. After the Iran hostage situation in about 80, you started to see Muslim fundamentalists become like the new boogeyman, then it's official after 9-11, right? That's now the big threat. To the point, people aren't really buying that anymore. Yeah. So who's the next

boogeyman? Rich people. Or... Say again? Or... who a type of rich person this is my concern oh yeah i think it's like i think it's just billionaires in general rich rich people in general i think one thing real quick yeah rich jewish people have always been to boogeyman come on like that you mean now yeah but it like it kind of like stays and then it spikes got you got you got you got you got you it's gonna spike right now got you okay sure i guess in different terms people have like obviously people have cultural stereotypes uh towards every

different group it's not something that's like specific to jews like yes, there are these negative stereotypes that people have towards Jews, and during certain times and culture and society, those things are going to become a little bit more radioactive and then there would be times that they're less. Same thing with black people. Same thing with Asians.

Blacks have always been the boogeyman in America too. Sure. And then with COVID, who was it? It was Asians. And I think there's still a chance Asians could be the next boogeyman. Nah, Asia's the low right now. Asian's minding.

They're business. No, but with China. Yeah, it depends how China goes. But yeah, I hear you like people, I guess they're looking for a boogeyman. man. The reality is is that like there's the haves and haves not have-nots in America and the politicians that send to speak to that resonate with the people. But the last thing that the people in power who oftentimes the haves want there to be is a class war in America. So they got

to find the boogeyman somewhere else. So they got to be, oh, it's all immigrants or it's all trannies or it's all trans. The trans thing is real. That's a real. That is a problem. So both of y'all point, the reason it's not working anymore because people are finally finally saying, no, the boogeyman is you, Donald. You're the boogeyman. The dumb thing is that he could have got so much political capital if he just released the Epstein files. He could probably get away with most of the fuck shit he's doing

if he released the Epstein files. There's nothing he can do now. I read something yesterday that said that the FBI redacted his name out of the file. That would be the worst. The two worst things he could do is redact, put those files out without his name, redacting them, R. Pardin and Jalen Maxwell.

By the way, this is what... Both are happening. This goes to my plan. This goes to my other theory. Republicans are lining them up. They know him better than he knows himself. They're letting him. They know what they...

Watch him. They're like, just let him. Watch him. Watch what he does. He's going to end up part in Jeline. All right, he's going to tell him to tell him to redact the files. Let him... It might be an actual long-term strategy because, like, let's say, for example, you know, this

is his last term as president because that is what our country demands and that is the rule. Okay? So let's say that that happens. I don't know if Trump just goes off to the way. side, right? And he still will have the Republican base in a stranglehold. So this might be a political maneuver by conservatives to remove the stranglehold on the conservative party from Trump. This is the Epstein Files, and I said this already, the Epstein files gives traditional Republicans and conservatives the opportunity to take their party back without pissing his base off.

They're based on fuck with the pedophiles. Yep. That's it. The Maga Bays is like, oh, he was one of them, or he was in the files? See you. See you. Like literally. So they're not going to get upset. They're not going to get riled up. It's like they're okay with anything he does, but you better not fuck kids. That's right. It's like that's the one that they cannot forgive. And good for them to have a limit.

And it's nice to see Democrats caring about this issue too. Like, I think it's really cool to see. It's refreshing that all the sudden Democrats and Republicans are united on we shouldn't have sex with children. That's a great thing. By the way, this is yet another distraction. Discracked from the F-T files. Pull it up, Chris.

No, go back up. Trump activates nuclear. subs because of Russian provocative comments. This was so funny to me. To hear Donald Trump say words are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences. Really? Thank you for your attention on this manner.

I do like when he says thank you for your attention on this man. I'm not going to lie. On this matter? I like that shit as far. I find myself wanting to say it. Thank you for your attention. That's how I talk to my wife. I want everybody to know, relax.

A lot of people was hitting me in the group chat yesterday telling me like nuclear war is imminent. blah, blah, blah. Trust me when I tell you, this is Deeder. Yeah. Donald Trump and Putin, they know what they're doing.

Okay, Donald Trump got it. He's been throwing things against the wall all week to see how he can change the channel on this Epstein shit. It ain't going anywhere. It's just another example of that. Okay, but at what point does he fully create a,

and maybe it's not a nuclear war with Russia, but in search of that distraction, how far will he go? Because he's trying the Clinton thing, he's trying everything. No, it's very, He has two options right now. He can release the Epsine files, and he's got to be in him.

He doesn't have to be in him having sex with children, but he has to be in him as a friend and confidant of Epsine because now it's too obvious. And I think it will actually do him a greater service to be in it because then people will believe it more. He can be in there by association. There's going to be a lot of people in there by association that we're seemingly okay with.

He's already associated. Yeah, Bill Gates is at his house, right? Bill Gates isn't being locked up. So he can either do that or he needs to end the war in Gaza and make sure that Gaza is a place for Palestinians, not end the war in Gaza and then Israel just takes it over. Make sure it's a place for Palestinians. I think if he does that, he gets enough political capital

and he proves to his base, like he will deliver on these difficult things and he's not controlled by BB Netanyahu, whatever they're saying. Like I think he needs one of those two things without one of those two things or an economy that just goes through the roof. He needs the economy, bro. But I don't see that happening, personally. I don't see that happening. Trump's going to do two things.

He's going to offer black people reparations. Or he's just going to offer the world stimulus checks. That's what I think's really going to happen. I think that he's going to say, hey, America. Fuck it. Cimmies, cut the check. Give everybody $5,000. I mean, he started teasing that with the rebate.

You saw it with the terrorists. We have so much money coming. We might give people a rebate. That will buy them a little time. And it makes people back off the tariff, accusing him to the tariff for fucking the economy up. Well, that's the other thing. It's like, I'm not one of these people that if he doesn't do something that is beneficial.

I won't give him credit. Like, if the tariffs work, I don't know. But if they work, okay, I will give him credit for that working. And I hope anybody else that was critical and sees a work goes, you know what, I'm wrong. This is actually benefiting America. And, you know, Trump is so social media savvy. The reason I said the thing about reparations is because he spent a week trying to rile black people up because he knows black people on social media can change the temperature. He was like, I'm going to put Obama in jail.

Nothing. I'm a friend Diddy. Beyonce, Oprah, Al Shoften need to be investigated. Eh? I'm a pardoneddy. I'm thinking about pardon the Diddy. I'm like, yo, by Friday,

he's going to drop the reparations. Oh, I know. Don't forget about the MLK files. Hey, put the MLK files out there. He tried four or five different things just to get Black Twitter going. They never bid on anything. I was like, he's going to throw the reparation thing out there.

You got a release. Go go. But the stimulus checks, the stimulus checks would make people be like, oh shit. It put a pause. It'll put a pause. For a second. It's a band-aid.

It's a band-a-it. It's not stitches. It's a band-a-stand. It's going to come back. It's always going to come back to Epstein. So, to me, it's the economy. If you can get the economy booming, get some money out there,

that might be something that can change the TV a little bit, but they're going to change right back. That's why he's begging Powell, the guy from the Fed, to drop the interest rates. He's not stupid. He knows when interest rates are low and money is cheap. People start refinancing in their homes. People start selling again.

There's money out there. there in the system. But then the inflation is going to sky rock. 100%. Yeah. But yeah, I agree with you. It's a short term. It's a, it's a short term. It's a short term. He's going to fuck about inflation law. They got some money in a pocket. He has to do something that indicates that he is against the deep state, that he is the person, the party, the president of reform. Because everything he is doing is status quo. He's doing nothing different than the status quo. Continuing the foreign wars, status quo. hiding the Epstein files,

status quo, increasing the budget, status quo. He has to do... Sticking up universities and networks. That's beyond status quo. That's new, but that's like, God, damn.

I mean, firing the statistics, like, it's beyond the status quo, though, that's the problem. Can I say one thing about the nuclear war thing? And I know it's theater, but I can't believe I even have to say this,

but as a public service announcement, there's no tactical nuclear war. There's no scenario where we just drop one nuke on this country or this other country drops one nuke and then everybody kind of reassesses the situation and calms down. Yeah, it's over. Once one flies, it's over. It's a fucking rap. You don't even want to start talking in that sort of language. Yeah, I was having that conversation with somebody yesterday because they was like they feel like in the next four to five years there'll be some type of tactical nuclear war.

I'm like there's no such thing. No. Like once one goes off, nobody's going to sit around. around to be like, well, they're just doing something strategic. It's just like, no. And that's never happened. There's never been a tactical nuke thrown. When the nukes go, the nukes go. They're out of here.

You know, I don't know, man. And remember, the nukes today are not the Hiroshima nuke of 60, 70 years ago. These things are fucking monsters. You know what I would think about? And then we'll do some asking idiots. Way to downplay the nukes we dropped in Japan, Chris. Jesus. Well, I've always...

You're just saying they're stronger now. I've always said that was a mistake and we should have never done it. But, you know, there's an argument against that. But yeah, they're incredible. Those are like peace shooters compared to fucking assault rifles now. I wanted to ask you just, why are we not afraid?

Like, when you think about 1983, right? And you think about how there was that technological glitch that made the guy in the Soviet Union that the U.S. just launched the nuclear weapons. But he was smart enough to be like... That guy's a hero. Yes, I can't remember his name. We should be celebrated.

The whole world should be celebrating that guy. I can't remember his name. Me neither. Why has that not happened again, number one? And number two, how do we know something like that cannot happen with AI? Like that probability of nuclear war happening because of AI scares me more than anything. That's interesting. AI being in control and AI thinking that something happened that didn't happen, that didn't happen.

You know what I mean? Like that scares me more than humans actually saying, you know what, fuck it, let's go. shit i'm still scared about all the suitcase bombs that are missing after the soviet union fell what happened now not just the suitcase bombs a lot just yeah but they start selling everything didn't didn't Elon go over there when he was trying to start the rocket company he was like yo you got some rockets for sale there's a lot of bombs we don't even know where they are because all the satellite because all the satellite countries yeah nooks i don't think it's nukes chris well even the former soviet states they have no idea what happened when those countries collapsed so just so

everybody understands what's going on, but like when the Soviet Union collapses and then all these other essentially like Soviet satellite countries start to become their own. Right. They all had weaponry from the Soviet Union. So some of those might be nuclear warheads. I don't know if they're all nuclear. I would imagine they had like a good idea where their nuclear warheads were, but they do have like sophisticated rockets, probably intercontinental ballistic missiles.

And they were selling them shits on the black market. Sure. And suitcase bombs, nuclear suitcase bombs. Wow, that's crazy. Stanislav Petrov is the guy's name. That's the guy's name. Shout out to Stan. I'm going to recommend everyone read this book, Nuclear War Scenario by Annie Jacobson.

It just came out. Okay. It starts with a scenario that's not improbable. Okay. It just shows, it plays out exactly what it will happen once one of these things. How didn't it just come out? You been gave me that book. I had it, it was slipped to me.

Oh, got you, got you, got you. Yeah, but how do we avoid? Well, two questions I have for you, Chris. How has that not happened since? 83. And with more advancements in technology, how has that not happened? How do we know that's not going to happen in the future?

I don't think we know that it's not going to happen. I think there's actually a fairly high probability that it could happen. Even more now, I would think. Yeah, it's nuts. That's a scarier scenario for me with nuclear wars. The artificial intelligence and the way technology is advanced, and back in 83, if you don't

know the story, there was some type of technological accident that happened that made Russia or the Soviet Union think that the United States had just launched four nuclear weapons. And it took that one guy to be like, this don't seem right. I don't believe this is the case. If that guy doesn't do that, we're not here right now. Yeah.

I was alive in 83. How many more times does that happen? That's my point. Like, 10 minutes. 10 minutes. This is the quote right here. And, you know, the theory on nuclear war not happening is both sides have it. It's mutually destroyed, assured destruction.

that's the tight rope that we're on right now. Right? And we've maintained the balance. So the quote is you may reasonably expect a man to walk a tightrope safely for 10 minutes. It would be unreasonable to do so without accident for 200 years. That's what I'm saying. We're going to fall off the fucking tightrope. Since 80, it happened in 83.

It happened in our lifetime, literally. We were born. Yep. So how was it not happened since then? That right there scares me more than Donald Trump saying, fuck it or Russia's saying, a China saying fucking that scares me more. I do think that these people care about the countries that they live in enough that they would never do anything that would cause the mutually assured destruction.

But that shit, an accident happening because of technology, especially in this day and age, that scares me more when it comes to nuclear war than anything. But I think that this is such an existential fear that most people that are concerned about everyday fears, i.e. paying rent, paying credit card bills, paying their student loans, they can't even like, they can't even take. it's too stressful to even consider, right? And there's nothing we can do. And there's nothing you do. So it's like, it's such a privilege to be like worried about these hypothetical scenarios when a lot of people don't even have the privilege to do that. You're right. They're like, I'm not worried about

Iran bombing us. I'm worried about where will I get another job because I just got laid off and AI is going to replace what I do for a living. Yeah. And if you ain't got no future to look forward to anyway, you like, fuck it. Fuck it. But if someone was, let's say, 600 years in the future, looking back at us in this moment right now. The way we can look back at the end of the Roman Empire or any historical moment. Yeah. I don't have any question that they're going to be like,

didn't those people realize that nuclear war is about to destroy their civilization? Like, if you're looking back at this moment, yeah, that's going to be the obvious reaction to where we're headed. It's very obvious where we're headed. That was your brilliant idiotous political segment for the show? The fuck is that. That's what my hair is about to. Let's do some asking idiots, man.

What the fuck is this headline in this picture? Idiots versus... These are separate things. I just put those pictures in there. Oh, oh, oh. Younger by the minute. Look at them. At the beginning of this pot, he had short hair.

Dove hasn't aged really either, bro. We're out here. That's crazy when you look at. What year was that? That's 20, we're probably 21 years old. Wow. Look at Dove. Single and freed in, single and free enough.

Facts. Shout out this. Were you an early adopter of Orr, because that's what it looks like you got on your finger. You know? No, I have a hair band. Oh, okay. Yeah, from my long, luscious locks

that now these girls are inserting into my head with not baby hair. Damn, they just do another dildo, bro. Stop playing. They did. Stop playing. What's the color? Hold on.

They say this is in Atlanta. If y'all don't throw some dildos on the NBA courts. This gotta be new, yeah, they just went up. And whoever did that grab it barehanded. No way. motherfucker raw dog the dildo

with his hand bro. That's another green one It's another lime green Zillies we got out here,

man. How many green, you know, honestly though, this is the best thing that you could do because it shows

how many people are in the stands. Back in the day, the biggest knock on WMBA was it nobody was in the stands but every time

a dilly is thrown this sold out games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Like, if this was two years ago, you would know who threw the dildo, it would be the one guy.

It's going to be fucked up if they find out people are really wearing them shit to the game just to throw. How else you're going to get it? It might be women. It's got to be women. I'm convinced now. It's women doing it. No. It's women doing it, bro.

Because women are the only people that people would feel uncomfortable saying what is that in there. Why do you act like security would find a dildo? Because when you go on the machine. It's not air force security. It is. You have to be it to an arena? They don't pat you down. Yes, you do.

You got to walk through the fucking metal detector. you got to take everything out your pocket? I went to go to an airport security last night. They did the whole thing. They patted me down with the back of their hands. They touched my dick, all that sort of shit. Where did you flying from? L.A. I was coming out of L.A. I was coming out of L.A.

That was the extreme pattern. They did for you. But I'm talking to a guard. When you walk into an arena, you go to the metal of Texas. They do a half-ass look inside maybe a woman's purse. Nah, no, not. Not at the games. Because you got to take everything out of your pocket, put it in the bucket.

You can smuggle 10 dildos in if you want. I'll take your word for it, Chris. Let's do that as an experiment. Yo, how many dillies can we, that's a fantastic idea. 10 minimum. Brilliant idiot listeners, do not do this. What I'm saying right now is whatever you do, do not sneak. Are you saying you're tired of seeing one a game is what you're saying?

Yo, if you want your team to win and you know they need a break, these girls are tired, okay? They've been busting their ass. Jason kids spill my drink thing. Exactly. If you need a time out and your team doesn't have one and you're a dedicated WMBA fan, you got to throw the dilly on the court. Hopefully it's got suction. You hit right half court, right in the center of half court

and make some ref have to yank it up. But the more he yanks, the more suction it gets? Jesus Christ. Come on. And then one of the girls got to be like, now, you've got to spit on a little bit. That's not how you do it. Let me show you.

Listen. That's a free time out. Look, guys, we're not mature enough to have these conversations. Next week, what we're going to do is we're going to give you an episode of Asking Idiots. So we'll save Asking Idiots for next week. Yeah.

That should work, right? 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 episode and think we're just a couple idiots, you don't know shit, you're right, too. It's a brilliant idiotous podcast. Thank you for listening.
