This week on Brillianst Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz dives into breaking down the optics of political theater from Biden’s family pardons to Trump’s PR moves. Late-night tequila-fueled debates that spiral into surprisingly profound reflections, Dave Chappelle's SNL monologue and how comedy tackles controversy in real time, Conspiracy theories, Fauci's legacy, and why Democrats keep fumbling the optics game.

Yep, Charlamagne the guy. Andrew Shows. You're all the brilliant idiots podcast, back for another week of brilliant idiotness. Hesekiah Walker. What up, my boy? How you feeling, man? Feeling bleh. Why?

Completely unrelated to this being like a great historic day for America. Just, I don't know. We're recording this on Monday, by the way, which is MLK Day. I don't know why they combine it to. But I mean, my dad asked me that earlier, but I'm like, it's always on January 20th. The inauguration day. It is, yeah. Yeah.

Inoguration Day is always on January 20th. So they're always the same. same day? I don't think they're always the same day, but on this year, because Martin Nover King Jr. is always like on a Monday. Oh, it's the Monday, right. Yeah, so it just fell on it for this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, no, I think, I don't know. I think like I drank a few nights in a row, but not like partied hard, but I'm 41 now. So if I have like a few glasses of wine four or five days in a row, I think it just kind of catches up and... Tell me about it, my boy. I did that last night.

What happened? I was just at home, you know, and, you know, like Nala came over. My other home girl, Rachel came over. And, like, my wife and, you know, Rachel, they was all in the kitchen cooking. And Rachel's Jamaican. So she had, like, some type of tobisciscus syrup drink that her mom makes. And we opened up a bottle of tequila, the cost of draconas, and we just was mixing it with her bagels.

The next thing, you know, a whole fucking bottle of tequila is gone. And I'm waking up, like, why? I literally like, why did we do that? Yeah. Why? I'm 46. What the fuck are we doing? Dr.

It was fun and shit. We're in there talking. I mean, it's the, you know, and it's a bunch of people who, and then, and you know, don't give me wrong. Rachel is, you know, woke, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But she's still cool, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, so it's like when I'm-

I like how you think those are opposites. That's how I know that we've won. What you mean? That's a, that's, ah, that's, no. She's woke, but she's still cool. I've always said woke people need to get some motherfuckuckin' sleep. Because they don't think right when they've been awake too long. Chris came in drowsy.

We're going to get to Chris. Oh, we're going to get to. I was so drunk and we're just talking, you know what I'm saying? And then you know it's some 90s slurge flying and then we watched Chappelle again. I watched Chappelle on SNL the night before but then we watched it back again. So it was just, it was just a good night. But then you wake up like, why the fuck did we drink a whole bottle of tequila? Yeah.

There's no need. There's no need for that. Never, not at our age. We don't need it. We don't need it. You don't need it. I get a couple of drinks. You're cool.

Yeah. But a whole bottle of tequila is just like, eh. Yeah. You know? Yeah. But it does loosen people up and get people, you know, to share their opinions. It's the best. That's what you need.

You need people with strong opinions feel comfortable sharing them. But we got to get back to having those strong opinions amongst each other. Well, now I think we've created an environment that is going to be conducive to that. Because I think we're past working things out in front of people. What does that mean? Meaning, like, I think people. get on social media and they just say things. I don't mind when you're like talking on a podcast

and you're working things through, I guess. People get on social media and just say things and it's just like it causes confusion because you're inviting a bunch of strangers into your conversation. There's nothing like when you got your people. You know what your people are about. Y'all love each other,

you enjoy each other's company, and y'all can talk amongst each other. Exactly, because you're not doing it for applause. You're not doing it for retweets. If you post anything on social media, you're doing it for the reaction. 100%. So you just want your ego strokes, right?

We're guilty of that shit too. Ideally, when we're posting stuff, we're like, hey, we think this is funny. We think this is interesting. And then you guys go, hey, that's really funny or that's really interesting. That's the ideal scenario. But if we just want to chop it up and say a crazy opinion, do it at the house. I'm fine.

The group chat is fine. Sitting around with your people drinking is fine. And it's fun here. That's cool, but the best is just when everybody lets loose it personally. Man, it's the best. Oh, my God. It's the best, man. And it's basically what we're building.

to in this episode today because I've been waiting for this day specifically to see Chris come in here with the rotavirus. Chris is so upset at the fact that Trump just got sworn in that he said he got rotavirus. His body is literally not able to handle a magnificent president like Donald Trump that's going to lead America into, you know, the next golden age. I'll tell you a question that came up last night. Chris, all you got to do is bend the knee and then I'll be a Democrat again. Don't bend the knee, Chris. I'm the Joker. I'm the Joker.

I just want to see chaos. Chris, don't bend the knee. I don't want anything but chaos. Chris, don't bend the knee. But can I ask a question that came up last night in my kitchen? It wasn't a question. It was a statement somebody made. Yeah.

What if Trump does a great job, guys? Let's discuss it. What if he's actually a good president, Chris? It's just a question. Well, I'd say two things. I don't think he will be based on his history. You got to remember, I've been following Trump since the late 70s, early 80s.

Just say you're sorry, bro. Okay, so I'm not saying that. And then... I'm just saying like, if he does a good job, just say you're sorry, I got wrong. Is it possible? I was manipulated by the media.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it highly unlikely? Much greater. If he does do a good job, I would argue it's only going to be because people like me have made a stink

and refused to relinquish their position. I believe this about Trump. He's a negotiator. He's a dealmaker at the end of the day. He'll react to, to forces that are pushing against him. He'll still try to get what he wants, but he'll react to pushback.

If there's no pushback, there's zero chance he does a good job. Well, how about this? This is my last piece. Trump does a good job is Chris's fault. Well, the last thing. That's what he just said. Not fault.

I get the credit. Yeah. Well, how about this? The last piece I did on The Daily Show, I was like, yo, he should prove all his political opponents wrong. Right? Like, if all of these people,

which we don't even even believe anymore, but all these people call them a fascist and a threat to democracy and liking them to Hitler and all of this other stuff. If, just proved them wrong. That's it. You proved them wrong, you win. Yeah, okay, so here, in this hypothetical, let's just say, right? Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, I'm glad that we're speaking in hypotheticals

because we can be honest. Hypothetical is almost like Casas deragonis. That's what Cassadragonis does. It just creates the entire conversation is just hypothetical. Alcohol period. That's what alcohol is. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Absolutely. We love alcohol for that reason. Absolutely. Let's say, for example, he stops the war, Israel. Peace in the Middle East. Hamas. Okay. He stops Ukraine, Russia.

Taiwan stays free. Yes. Okay? Yes. Let them give up a little bit of Taiwan. They can give up a little bit of Taiwan. All right. There's nothing to give up.

Snatch that up. Once we get the chips, though, we got to make sure that we're making the chips. Once we make sure we're making the chips and boom, you take it. A little bit of Taiwan for world peace, Chris. There's nothing to give up. What do you mean? a little, you could give them an appetizer, give them a spring roll. There's nothing.

There's a little bit. There's a spring roll, Chris. No advertisers. Nothing. Come, bro. Nothing. You want to give up one little island? One of those little islands.

A world peace. Because then Chris, now you're getting double to credit. You already got credit because you're in person that stood up to him. But now you're giving up a little piece of your beloved Taiwan for World Peace. Greenland is willing to give it up. Greenland is willing to come on over. They were interviewing. We can talk.

Anyway, my point is this. Let's say that all these things. things happen, right? Inflation goes down. No, no, no. America, yeah, inflation goes down. American economy is booming. Right.

Greenland becomes part of America. It's the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico. There is a strong border, so there's much less illegal immigration, and we, because of that, you have much less, I guess, crime comes from. Crime goes down. Let's just say these things happen, right? Let's say these things happen. At any point in time, do you admit for, like, you?

the last four years or even eight years? Yes. That you're gay. Do you just come out and be like, hey guys, I'm sorry I was being so gay the last fucking eight years, sucking cocks all the time saying Trump was bad. At any point in time, do you just go, you know what? I got to take these cocks out of my mouth and throat

because I had too many of them inside of me for the last eight years. Is there any point in time where you say that? It's greater than six o'clock, baby. Sorry. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay, that was a bar. That was like a southern bar right there. No, no, no.

What I'm really trying to ask is this. At any point in time, do you start going, shit? Maybe we were being manipulated by a media institution. It shouldn't take that long. Well, I'm just saying, like, a media, or maybe there is a, what is it, what do they call, the military industrial complex or whatever it is? maybe there were forces that were outside of our control, that were manipulating us and tricking us into thinking that we were the virtuous ones when in reality this other guy was going to achieve the things

that we truly wanted. You truly do want a strong economy. You truly do want peace in the Middle East. You truly do want there to be a stop in the war in Russia and Ukraine. You truly do want a strong economy and I'm sure a strong border. But we do, you're not wrong shows, but we do take a lot of the blame off said individual. Donald Trump caused a lot of this on his own because of his rhetoric. Now, did the rhetoric work? Yes. Did the rhetoric get him elected?

Yes. But at some point, even he has to come out and say, I didn't mean none of that shit. I was just trying to get motherfucking elected. I would say that there's plenty of things he said that are absolutely ridiculous and can be incredibly offensive and I can see why I would trigger people.

I would also say that there are a lot of things that were said about him or that he said that he did not say at all. And there was tons of allegations thrown in him that we now know are false and there's been no apology about it. They were saying my man likes to get peed on by Svetlanas.

Well, we don't know if you don't. There was a whole investigation paved by the fucking Clintons. How do you figure out if somebody likes to get peed on? Not by Svetlanus. What the fuck is that? That's a Russian woman. You don't think the Russians have any influence on him? Honestly.

We're not going back here. That's 2000. But no, let me ask. It's like, come on, man. You can't. That was a non-answer. You don't want to be great, yo. That was a non-answer.

That was not an answer. America's more important. It was a straightforward question. It's more important than Biden. I'm not doing this for the next four years. That's what I'm saying. I refuse. I'm personally not doing this for the next four years.

We're not going back to 2016, Russian propaganda talking points. Like, we're here now, Chris. We're here. We're here. Listen, I understand the scenario you're painting. I think the thing that I can't. But don't you want to what's best for America? America, Chris.

Always. Yes. So if, if, always. To answer Andrew's question and the answer the question that was in my kitchen last night, if he does a good job over the next four years, green. That's it. That's it. Round of applause.

That's it. I hope. There we go. Chris, come on. This is what we want. Let me tell you why we want him to do a great job. Because if he does a great job in America's happy, then it brings the Democrat Party back to reality.

No, it won't. Oh, 100%. Politicism is just a reflection of what people want. No, there's nobody more delusion. and Democrat. I understand they're delusional, but will happen, it will pull them. There'll be a gravitational force. Right after we won, AOC is taking the pronouns out of her bio or whatever people are saying. Clearly, there are people in Democratic Party, they're realizing, okay, we went too far. The pendulum swung, too far. Americans don't like it, okay? The more successful Trump is, the more normal the Democratic

Party becomes, and that's what we're all looking for. It pulls everybody to the center, right? That's what I'm saying. America is that- I got to get Trump to the center, is what I'm saying. Of course, but what I'm saying is America is at its best when we have a cool Democrat president. Bill Clinton, JFK, Barack Obama. Like, it's when we feel our most proud. It's when the world just is in love with us. There's amazing moments when we have cool Democratic leadership.

I mean, FDR, like all these stories that you hear from these guys are incredible. I'm glad that you still have faith in the Democratic Party. I have none. I think that it's going to take at least eight to 12 years for a new type of Democratic Party. leadership to emerge. This establishment Democrat, the establishment Democrats that exist now are not what the country wants, and I don't think they're what the country needs.

Yeah, I mean, AOC said I'm not going to the inauguration because I'm not going to go support a rapist. But listen, you can't call him a, I don't think he's calling the president a rapist. You call him a rapist? Yes, she did. I think he. Legally. Yeah, legally.

Yeah, because it was a civil case. It wasn't. I think he can call him a sexual assault. This is like the problem that that. newspaper guy. Yeah, the ABC. But she straight up called him a rapist on her answer. That's why I'm not going.

It's like, okay, well, you'll be out of office soon. Congrats. You're not getting it. You're not, you're missing the point. Well, I'll say this. I do respect everybody who chooses not to go to the inauguration if you truly believe the shit you've been saying. I actually expect you not to show up.

I don't respect watching President Obama pull up after calling him a threat to democracy, after calling him a fascist, after likening him to Hitler. There can't be political norms when you use rhetoric that's not normal. So, you know, as interesting is that I didn't respect when he called him those things. You believe those things

because people were saying, hey, look, this is what this guy is. His former Joint Chief of Staff said that. Exactly. So you're believing all the rhetoric. When all those politicians were saying that shit, I was like, none of y'all believe this, and you're going to be chumming it up

and shaking hands with them. And then... And that's whack. But I knew it. I saw it over and over again. I don't respect it. And I think it's so whack that I've been watching Democrats all week. Y'all more mad at Snoop Dog, Nellie, Soldier Boy, and Rick Ross for performing at a crypto ball party inauguration weekend.

It wasn't even an official. I don't even think it was an official campaign. It's not if it's official. It is. But my point is like a party during Super Bowl weekend. It's part of the Super Bowl. For all of these media personalities and people on social media to have more smoke for them than you do. watching your elected officials, like the Obama, like Barack Obama, like Joe Biden.

These are the people that were telling us this guy was a stress of democracy. These are people liking in this guy to Hitler, but y'all chumming it up with him. Like, no, I don't respect that. You're quick to call out Snoop. Here's my thing, right? Snoop Dogg, soldier boy Rick Ross and Nelly performing at that crypto ball is inconsequential. But that picture of Barack Obama showing all his teeth, smiling with President Carter, that's going to affect elections in the future.

That's going to affect whatever that. I'm sorry, when he was smiling with President Trump and President Carter's funeral, that's going to affect elections in the future. That's going to impact people when they try to paint the picture of Republicans so bad, Republicans so evil, like nobody's following for that rhetoric. Maybe that was the final nail in the coffin. Absolutely.

And we start realizing that these, we say all the time, we're like politicians are full of shit. And then when they say things that we will, want to believe, we go, ah, they're full of shit except for that line right there. No, no, no, they're all full of shit. They're saying what we think is going to support, is going to gain their support. And, um, or what we want to hear. They're validating our feelings. But the reality that matter is when it comes time to do business or when it comes time to get shit done, or when it comes to times, even the funeral, they're there and they're going to be chumming

it up. That's right. And a round of applause to Michelle Obama for keeping that same energy. And I saw people saying, hey, well, y'all giving Michelle so much shit for not coming to the inauguration in 2024, Trump didn't go in 2020. You know why Trump didn't go in 2020? Because he said the election was stolen. Why the fuck would you chummy it up with people who you claim stolen election? So what does that do for Trump in his base?

It lets the base know, oh, maybe they really did still the election because Trump's acting like they did. And he's always fighting for us. Now, I'm always on the front lines fighting for us. Democrats are terrible when it comes to that type of political optics. Democrats will do what they did today. Joe Biden does all of these preemptive pardons on Fauci and the January 6th committee and his whole family.

He pardoned his whole fucking family. Why did you have to do that if they were potentially guilty of something? Because a bunch of maniacs are coming into control. So why didn't they act like he was a maniac then? Oh, hold on. Why didn't they hire an age to go after him? You're saying that's a good question. Why are they not acting like he's a maniac now?

Why are they smiling with him at funeral? Why you want to have tea with a maniac? You did all of these preemptive pardons on people, right? And you said that we're doing these preemptive parties because we think that this administration is a dangerous administration that'll go after them. But then on the same day, you're in the White House having tea. Get the fuck out of here, Chris.

Come on, we got to cut it out. Chris, you got to cut it out, Chris. You could just say get the fuck out of here. You could just say get the fuck out of here to half that. That's what I'm saying. Not all of it. Okay.

But we're getting there. We're moving closer to the middle. How much of the bird are we going to eat, Chris? Who? How much of the bird? Because it's clearly two wings on the same bird. So how much of the bird are we going to eat? Fly, eagles fly.

What do you think about that? Listen, today, I think it's today he's Trump is dropping 200 executive orders, right? Yeah. Yo, the fact that he gave the Fauci, the pardon, is wild. I told Chris earlier, man. That's a little wild to me. It is very hard not to believe every single. What the fuck I put in my arm, yo?

That's right. What did I put in my arm, yo? Shodes, talk that talk. I need to know what I put in my arm. Why did you pardon the guy that told me I got to put this shit in my arm twice? Chris? Let's walk through this. Let's walk through it.

Thank God I got a fake booster. What would have happened to me if I got a real one? So I'm supposed. Yo, Charlemagne. Thank God I went to a random Hasidic doctor in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to get a fake booster. What would it happen if I got a real one, Chris? Why is the guy that told me to put something in my arm getting a preemptive part? Let's talk about this, Schultz.

This is some wrap-up from the hearing that Dr. Fauci had. Don't do this. Is this going to answer my question, Charlemagne? Because I just want to put some things out there. These are key hearing takeaways from the hearing he had. What's the source you're citing right now? Real quick. This is from the fucking White House.

Real quick, before you say that. If I bought a Toyota, right? And then the CEO of Toyota got preemptively pardoned, I would be a little curious. This is oversight. So this is coming from the committee on oversight and government reform. Who's the chair of the committee? Doge. Huh?

Who's the chair of the committee? This is from last year. I don't know. Key hearing takeaways. Dr. Fauci showed no remorse for the millions of lives. Who's the chair of this? Right now it has a slant. Who's the chair of this?

That's a racial word. This is from June of last year, Chris. Who's the chair? Okay, just go. Who cares about the chair? Dr. Fauci showed no remorse for the millions of lives affected by his divisive rhetoric and his unscientific apologies. He did not apologize to the thousands of Americans who lost their jobs because they

refused the vaccine, nor did he apologize to children experiencing severe leaning, leaning loss as a result of actions he promoted. Dr. Fauci confirmed that his senior advisor, Dr. David Morin's violated official NIH policies and potentially broke federal law. Dr. Fauci maintained his misleading claim that the NIH never funded gain of functioning research in Wuhan, China. Dr. Fauci agreed with the select subcommittee that EcoHealth and his President Dr. Peter Dasak should never again receive a single cent from the U.S. taxpayer.

Dr. Fauci corrected his previous testimony that his staff did not possess conflicts and interests. And Dr. Fauci publicly acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis was possible and not a conspiracy theory. Sounds like we got an unpart of them. Right. That sounds like that to me. Let's walk through that.

Yeah. Let's suppose that Fauci was, in fact, part of a wide conspiracy funded by who Who the, is it Bill Gates' organizations? I don't know who it is. I mean, I just don't understand if you're not guilty, why would you need to be? No, no, no, but like, let's walk. Real quick, can I just, just before, and I want you to walk through it. I don't think that's what it is.

I think these people were doing the best that they could with the information that they had. Now, here's the thing. Sometimes you make mistakes when you do that. Right. Right? You're operating without data. There's no precedence for this. This is like an absolutely terrifying situation.

There are millions of people fucking dying. You're doing. your best. I think what people wants is to not feel gaslit. I think what people want is Foucher just be like, yo, we did our best. We fucked up with some things. Okay, maybe we overreacted. We made up stuff like the six feet of separation. We made up some things. We made up some things. We thought it would be helpful. We and you know what? Maybe some of these things really were helpful. Maybe some of them really hurt Americans. They hurt small businesses. They hurt kids not being able to go to school and in these tough times, you have to make very tough decisions. I made the best decisions

I possibly could in that moment. And some people were hurting some of those decisions were wrong, and I take full accountability for that shit. Not this bullshit that we've had where you go, ah, give them the fucking pardon. And then there's zero accountability and we don't even shine a light on it. And you know what else shows here the thing? I think that's fair. Be a man and say you fucked up. Go ahead, Chris. He didn't totally fuck up. He might have partially fucked up. All I'm going to say is look around the world. Who are our enemies, who are our friends. They all did the same thing.

They tried to develop vaccines. They did social distancing. Maybe it would have worked if everybody had bought in. Maybe it wouldn't have. Everybody tried the same fucking thing. So to act like he's out on this island trying to destroy America. Chris, go, go, go. This is what I'm simply saying.

There was a bunch of conspiracy theories about Dr. Fauci before doing a preemptive pardon for Dr. Fauci is not helping him beat those. Oh, no. Now it's going to be. worse. I will say this. It seems like guilt. It seems like that was his choice and he'll have to live with it. I mean, so essentially from what I just read this morning, a lot of people, they, he also pardoned people who were on the January 6th, right? And some of the Democrats said, I don't want that pardon. Don't give it to me. Because we didn't do nothing wrong. I didn't do anything wrong other than investigate the truth,

and I don't want the pardon. Now, we should investigate the truth. Now, you know, does he seem guilty? You know, I'm choosing to say, I see it as a guy who's old, who doesn't want to spend an whatever years of his life. Chris, he pardoned his whole family. Who, Biden? Biden, minutes before he didn't have the power to do it, he pardoned his whole family, like literally. Have you seen Patel?

He hasn't fully seen you, but like, have you seen him? Don't talk that talk now. Okay. You talk about cash? Yeah, it says... Was that a joke about cash? With just minutes left in his presidency, Biden issues a full and unconditional pardon of his family,

most notably his brother, James B Biden. All that's going to do is feed into the Biden crime family narrative. Yeah. It's just that simple. I don't know what. You can at least acknowledge that it will. I know the optics are not good.

But why do they always lose that game? How do Democrats always lose the political optic game? So I think a good way to look at these discussions is we first acknowledge what the optics are, right? Hey there. Any tail of game. I should make that clear. Saying nobody committed a crime, but we're partying them anyways. Crazy.

bad optics. Terrible optics. And that's the thing that I think a lot of us have become disillusioned with the Democrats about it. Because it's like they're playing in our face. Exactly. So you just,

it's, you make me feel gaslit. That's the term, right? You're kind of, you're saying there's no issue here, but then you're behaving as if there is an issue. There's cognitive dissonance that sets in.

You're like, what the fuck is going on here? Trump pardoned his people, but it was when they was in jail, like it was after they had been committed, charged for crimes. So he actually let the system play out. And then he pardoned him.

And then he pardoned him. Like, they're not even letting the system potentially play out. Keep in mind, like, different system. I'm pardoning my whole family regardless. Like, I'm pardoning my whole family. Like, I'm not going to do anything different. I'm pardoning my son. I'm pardoning everybody.

Why didn't Trump do that? After January 6th, he had 14 days, right? Well, he hasn't raised the cracket. What I'm saying. We all know the things that Trump was accused of. We know the things people around him was accused of. Why wouldn't he just do a blanket pardon of his whole family to protect him if he was actually committing all of those crimes that they said he did? Well, I don't think that they were saying that the kids were involved in those crimes.

It don't matter. I didn't know Biden's, why does Biden's whole family need a pardoning? Because they are. I never heard of his brother. I never even heard of his brother. They're committing those crimes. They've been a fan. I mean, here's the thing.

There is, in my opinion, there is a little bit of like political bribery or tomfoolery that's going on. right? Like every single time there is, every single political family. The Trump family made their money outside of politics. If you've been in politics for 50, 60, 70, 200 years, or however long Biden has been in politics, there's going to be some quasi-illegal shit going on, and his family's probably going to be part of that, and they might be facilitating it, and so they could easily get clipped. So now he's like, all right, let me just clean them up and make sure it's okay. But that is kind of the American way when it comes to political system. All I'm simply saying is there was one, There's one family who's moving very guilty

by doing free of the parts of the whole family. And then there's another family who've been accused of being guilty. Yeah. But they let the system play out. Trump went through all this shit. Well, he did not let the system play out. How did he not let the system play out?

He had to overturn the system. Okay, so Chris, after that, after from January 6th to January 20th, why after trying to overturn the system been failing? I think he thought he was going to win. I thought he was. But we know he didn't he have 14 days. Why didn't he pardon that pardoned him?

himself and his family after January 6th. Why was he willing to go through it? You know what, though? I just answered my own question. I'm bugging. He went through all of that because he knew it would be good politics. He knew the political theater of them motherfucking charging him and, you know, arresting him and the mugshots and everything else. He knew it was going to energize the motherfucking base.

Absolutely, God. You know, he's just better at this than everybody. This is what it is, Chris. Is that shocking? Like, at a certain point of time, we can't go, oh, he got lucky again. It's like, if this is how he orchestrated his entire. life. Yeah. Maybe he's good at it. And maybe the Democrats can learn something from it. They can. Hey, when Barack Obama did it, it was because he was really good. Obama was really good at it.

It wasn't the institution. It wasn't like the Democratic Party that like, you know, what is it called? inflated him and held him up like they tried to do it Kamala. He was really good. They didn't, the Democrats weren't UMG, Spotify. Yeah, they didn't white list Obama. No, no, exactly. They let that shit go. Exactly. And by the way, he is the last real leader of the Democratic Party. And probably the last real talent we saw on the Democratic side. And Donald Trump, say what you want about him. He is a good talent. And it's going to be hard for them.

It's going to be hard for them to get talent because they're so uncool right now. Like there's, I don't know anybody, I don't know one man above like five, nine that says they're a Democrat. There's only one. I honestly like, males under, only, it's only male. like under 5-9 that identify as a Democrat. They're like, I am a Democrat. I'm a 100%. Exactly.

I'm registered as an independent and I'm 5-6, 5-7 on a good day. Exactly. It's for, it's a shorter guy thing. I don't know what it is. They just need protection. I don't know if it's a shorter guy thing. Have you met one dude six or with a job who's just like, I'm a job? I would argue with the gayer guy thing.

It's for bottoms. Democrats are It's for bottom It is more of a bottom thing Imagine you're on a date And the guy on a date It's like I'm a Democrat I just like

I just love like I'm gonna chop off Everybody's dick And just fucking put him in my mouth Or whatever Democratic rhetoric is What I was it Democratic Party is for 5-8 and under men Oh man And that it's for women like over 280

Damn It's funny We was having this conversation other day, Chris, man, we was on the phone. We was just talking about, like, what is the base of the Democratic Party anymore? And this is a question that I asked on election night when we did our joint, you know, broadcast with the Native Land podcast, Andrew Gillum and Angela Rye and Tiffany Cross. I was like, yo, is big tent politics dead? If I'm a Democrat, do I focus on this big tent where you're just bringing a little bit of everybody in? Or do you just focus on your base?

What is their base? They left their base. I mean, their base should be black people, right? They should be black, because that's you. They should be working class, middle class. For sure. But the people who vote for them the most are black women and black men. Because they ran the working class out when they were shitting all over Bernie Sanders.

The only politician that Americans entirely trust left and right is a guy named Bernie fucking Sanders. Absolutely. And the Democratic Party ran them out. But the Democratic Party also ran out those working class black people. I'll never forget, man. Because they fuck with Bernie too. They absolutely do fuck with Bernie.

I was on the phone with, uh, I remember Killer Mike told me this. Killer Mike said, look, working class, black people in Georgia are very quiet this election. That should terrify Democrats. And when you look at, you know, why the VP didn't win any swing states, a lot of those areas like the Philadelphia's, like the Detroit's, those urban areas. They lost the working class. They didn't show up. They didn't pull up for them.

You know, they did absolutely lose the working class. And I believe they lost the working class because of things like this, Chris. they play in our face they play in our face this is playing in our face also working class people don't care about like working class people like union factory working guys

they don't care about all the rainbow shit like it's just the party became too obsessed with the rainbow and it's like and it's working class our butt fucking let them do it in peace nobody gives a fuck go butt fuck do your thing

but the whole thing can't be about my pronouns and how you know hormone blockers and it's just like why are we talking about this so much Move away. Move away and help working-class Americans. Help middle-class Americans. Help poor Americans become middle-class.

Like, that should be the entire energy. Get money, man. I think that is what they're doing. Get that mic. You say the same thing with Republicans, though. They worry about TikTok being canceled, and now it's not canceled. Yeah, but Republicans are a reaction to the absurdity of Democrats. The Republicans are, we're sowing dicks back on dudes.

You know what those shows? Hold on a little. What Taylor's saying, this is what people miss, right? They look at TikTok as the symbol. That's not what Republicans are fighting for, right? Yeah. I'm not saying they are, but I'm saying that. No, no, I'm saying it's the freedom of speech aspect.

That's what I think. That's what I think is. It's two things. I want to protect Americans' data in America's privacy, and we believe in freedom of speech. That's what the angle is. But even if it is, even if they are using the symbol. I think it's just a political flex. I think they're just like, Democrats shut it down, so I'm Trump.

I'm going to roll in here day one. I'm turning it back. Well, sure. Trump is the one who said that they should shut it down originally. But they did it because of China. That reinforces his narrative about China. Yeah. And how China's always trying to influence us.

And China has too much control over what we do here in America. Like America's not the first country to ban TikTok for those reasons. Yeah. India banned TikTok for those reasons. Every country banned TikTok. China is essentially paying on itself. For what it's worth, TikTok should be banned. No.

It should be bought. by Frank McCoy. Okay, sure. And Project Liberty. Sure. Like, for what it is, TikTok should not have any connectivity at all with China

or any foreign country. It can be here, but it shouldn't have any connectivity. And currently it does. They're absorbing all of our data. They know exactly what Americans want to consume. And they could probably influence

local elections, presidential elections. They could influence culture. They could influence whatever they want to do. So what does Instagram do then? The exact same thing. But the idea is it's an American-owned company in America's.

So it's like I'd rather be manipulated by my own country than a country that wants the worst for me. Hold on. No, no. I don't want to be manipulated. I'd rather than. No, I can have control over them. I can call up Zuckerberg if I'm Trump. I can call up Elon Musk. I can call up who the fuck. Well, Zucker owns all of this shit. But he has control over them. And it's still an American thing. You know what I mean? You would assume that Zuckerberg wants America to be a successful country. China might not So I would trust Zuckerberg and Mehta's

You know I can I can make Zuck manipulate shit for me if I want him to Let's just call it what it is It's the same thing with Elon Musk and S Yeah, these my guys, they're going to ride for me They're going to amplify our messaging And you know everybody else is on their own

Like that's literally what it is I'm not there's nothing wrong with that You think that do you think when you think about all of these liberal, you know, newspapers and liberal news networks that have existed for years, you don't think Democrats had the same influence on them? Of course. Like, once again, George Soros got the Medal of Freedom

two weeks ago in the White House, y'all. Yeah. It's all good when they're on the side of the person. Mm-hmm. But soon as these people aren't on your side, now they're evil. They wouldn't be calling Zuckerberg, Elon, any of these tech guys evil if they were on the side of the left right now. Oh, wow.

You're saying the left wouldn't be calling me. No. Yeah. Of course not. No. Not even a little bit. Not even a little bit. Not even a little bit.

That's how it is. And the TikTok thing is a very, very powerful flex. And the reason it's a very powerful flex is because, look, I think it needs to be sold to my guy, Frank McCourt. Yeah, who is that? Frank McCourt used to own the Dodgers, but he has a company called Project Liberty, and he's always been fighting to make the Internet a safer place. And so he's been wanting to buy a TikTok. We had him on Breakfast Club last year.

He's been wanting to buy TikTok for the longest. Kevin O'Leary is part of his team now. And they're trying to buy TikTok. And, I mean, what Trump did is, once again, you can get mad at it, but it's good political optics. It's good political theater that works in his favor. The Biden administration says, hey, we're going to leave it up to Trump. Trump sits with the president of China. The CEO of TikTok is at his inauguration.

They shut it down for a day, put up the message. thanking Donald Trump and when he gets back in the White House, we know we're going to figure out a deal. Then Trump tweets out, hey, let's not let it go dark. We'll figure something out. So then they bring it back and thank Donald Trump again. And Trump is like, let's do a 50-50 joint venture where America owns 50 percent and China owns 50 percent. He's going to get the credit for the deal. Why are we mad at him just being better at politics and political theater? I'm not. Democrats shouldn't learn some shit. I'm not. I think that the deal should be that we'll get TikTok, but China has to take Instagram.

Or X, because X isn't allowed. Or X, but they just have to take an app from us so that we can absorb their data too. Now it's an even data exchange. Well, if we keep TikTok, well, I don't know how to 50-50 joint venture work, but what Frank was proposing before was he just wants the U.S. portion of TikTok. And he wanted it without the algorithm.

He wanted to put the power back into the hands of us, the actual user. The only reason TikTok is good is because the algorithm. And the algorithm is incredible. Like it knows exactly what the fuck you want. But see, I thought, I thought, I thought, but I thought everybody thought it was different. But I don't like that. You like that they, like if you're talking about something and then you pop up.

No, that's not what TikTok does. TikTok just knows what you want to watch. It's not like, oh, I'm talking about toasters and a toaster comes up. They know that you don't want to look at posters. But that's what Instagram does. So that's why when you guys saying, like, oh, they could take our data. They're taking our data anyway in the sense. Like, they're taking my privacy.

Wouldn't you rather your country take your data than a foreign country? Man, this country's not for me. Oh, my God. Are we still doing this? Stop. This sound like this a little bit. Listen. I hope you'll forgive me if I get emotional.

Oh, yeah. This is what you sound like. Climate emergencies are not gender neutral. The degradation of ecosystems disproportionately impacts women and girls. And I am wildly emotional. This is... She said L.A. fires were not gender neutral.

Who? This girl said that the fires were sexist. You're talking about what white women feels. I'm coming from a black woman's standpoint. You're talking about what a white woman feels. Yeah, I don't understand. Yo, hey, shut up, bitch, you're white. That's what I'm telling you said.

Hey, bitch, shut up your white. What do you say to me? What do you say to me? Hey, shut up, you white man. Shut the fuck up. I don't understand. I don't understand what the purpose of this woman's statement was. Like, what does, what did she mean,

fires disproportionately affect women and girls. Listen, we let retards speak in a microphone, not on podcast. Retards are allowed to speak in a microphone on podcasts. That's what podcasting is. We let some of them, you know, become part of government or I don't know where the fuck she's having this conversation. She's Canadian. She's Canadian. And she's not talking about LA fires.

What's she talking about? I don't know. That circled when the hurricanes hit Florida. That same thing was like hurricane are hitting Florida and then that same You see, I've been manipulated. I thought she was talking about the LA I'm tricked. You know what I'm saying? I am so on because I was in Florida during the hurt. Fake news. You know who coined that term?

Get on the mic and say, tell us who coined that term, Chris. Who coined that? Go ahead. Hold on. That was my whole point. Hold on. Trump? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no. That was fake news. We were manipulated. We were manipulated. We were manipulated. We were manipulated. Probably the Chinese out of man. This motherfucker.

This motherfucker. This is why this is why Trump won. This is why Trump, because you just will not relinquish it. You use one of his terms to describe your rhetoric. It is. No, it's not your point. No, it's not. Stop the point.

That's the point. That was what the point was. Yeah, what was the point? We're all getting manipulated. But that's what he told us. So you agree with Trump? That's part of the manipulation. Just say you're being gay.

Huh? Say you're being gay again. You're starting to do it. You're being gay, guys. You started to it. What have I always saying? If you don't tell the truth about Democrats, they won't believe you when you tell the truth about.

If you lie to people about Democrats, they won't believe. To be 100% honest, I don't understand what that woman was talking about. And that's all you got to say. There's nothing wrong with you. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You don't even have to say that.

Call her retarded. That's what she was. Say, you're a retard talking into a microphone. And we're the only ones allowed to do that. I don't know the fucking you're talking about. We're the only ones that allowed, there's only two retarded people allowed talking to microphone. And there's a brilliant idiot

and we do it every single week. So I don't need some Canadian retard talking about fire is sexist. That's disrespectful to me. I don't even understand why she would say that. How do you, where's the stat that shows fires disproportionately impact women? Did y'all go over everything

about the inauguration? Now, we're waiting for you to do all memes necessary. What we got? Give us some bullshit. All means necessary. What we got? Former. President Obama.

As they should have. What? Y'all are crazy. This is what I want you on. Let's hear. Let's hear. The world is watching. Big, big booze right now, as you can imagine.

I don't know if you guys can hear it over my mic, but. So they're watching this at the Capital One arena. Yeah, for President Obama. So this is a video. As we would say in New York, a Bronx tier here. I have to wonder if this is setting the tone for. These are the most, these are loyal supporters. Yeah.

So. So. So. in mind, they moved it inside. So all like the congressman of shit are in this like small little rotunda. And then everybody else who's going to watch it outside is now, I think, in the arena. Why are we mad that he got booed? Because they look at it like, well, from the comments, just looks ghetto and I don't know. And tell the comments, shut the fuck up. This is why they win. And this is what I want everybody to understand. Because they treat Democrats the way

Democrats should treat them. If you're telling me that these people are threatened democracy and the danger to our government and it's going to be the end of our democracy and these people are fascist and they liken their leader to Hitler, why would you be just cheering them on and having peaceful transfer of power?

They don't like Democrats, and they act like it. It's not confusing. They don't confuse their side at all. But it shouldn't be professional. No. It's immature. No, it shouldn't be professional. We can acknowledge, we can acknowledge,

We can acknowledge that it's immature. I don't agree. We can acknowledge it, in my opinion, it's immature. We can acknowledge them immature. But I think what Charlemagne is saying makes sense, which is like, that's the ops, and I'm going to act like that's the ops. And you know why Democrats don't treat Republicans like they're ops? It's not because they have more decorum and all of that shit like that.

It's because their leaders don't treat them like that. It's because their leaders, the Obamas, the Bidens, the Clintons. They don't treat them like the ops. They talk like it on the campaign trail. And then when it comes a person. The campaign's over. Showing all your teeth. Let's go have tea.

Even though I got to do preemptive pardons to protect all my people from you because you're so dangerous. It sends mixed messages. Them motherfuckers don't send mixed messages. It's fuck the other side. And guess what? You know what that helps?

That helps in midterms. That helps in the next election in four years. Now, it is bad rhetoric. I would like if both sides stop saying fuck the other side. It'd be really nice if they started having conversations again. And we pulled everything back to the middle, which is kind of what I think most Americans want.

But I understand what Charlotte made saying. Is they're keeping that same energy and the Democrats are not? And we got to a point in our society where we started treating political parties like teams, right? Yeah. Like it did.

Like it's like some Cowboys Redskins shit. It's some Eagles redskins shit. Like we treated each side like teams. So guess what happens when you don't like another team? Boo! Like, this is where we are in America and Democrats better get the motherfucking memo

because guess what? The woman who coined the term, when they go low, we go high. She said, fuck y'all, I ain't coming to the inauguration. I'm tired of going high. I'm going lower. Once again, Ms. Michelle Obama, you got to tell us. You got to tell us because you're the one who set the stage. You're the one who told people when they go low, we go high.

You ain't going high no more. You got to tell the people why you're not going high no more. And I'm going to respect it. You know why I'm a respected? because I respect people who keep the same energy. If you told me the man is a threat of democracy, if you're liking the man to Hitler, if you told me the man is a fascist,

then you got to act like it. That's not regular political rhetoric. It's just not. Trump, once again, and then we can move on to all means necessary. Everybody keeps saying how Trump didn't show up in 2020. Why would you show up to the inauguration in 2020 if you accused the other side of stealing the election?

You know, it's wild. Biden got a lot of bulls. votes in that election, man. 81 million. Yeah. 81 million. And guess what? It's weird almost, right?

And Trump said they stole the election. But you know what he did more so than just say it? He acted like it. Yo, I agree with you. But like- We should bring up that graph that, like, shows how many votes were cast in the last, like, four elections. And there's a, there's a random spike in that last one.

Yeah. What do you think? What do you think that's about? Biden has the most votes ever of many Democrats. You're out of here, no way. Kamala got the second most votes of any Democratic. Wow, wow, well. That's crazy.

I'm just saying, it is weird that there's a little spike. Can I give you my theory on it, though? I think most people, the most annoying part of voting is going to the local public school and waiting online. And I think that once we were able to mail them in and it was customary to Maryland and it came really easy, people just started sending them out. I don't think there's this giant gigantic fraud that took place.

Republicans benefited from it. I mean, they're mail-in in the last election. I don't know what the number is. Was much higher. But I think- But that's because Trump encouraged him to. Trump didn't encourage him to in 2020. In 2020, Trump did not encourage Republicans

to do mail-in votes. He actually spoke against it. 2024, he encouraged Republicans to do mail-in-bo. Yeah, the barrier of entry was so low. I think that's why you had a bigger turnout. I just want Democrats to be smarter and I want Democrats to pay attention

to what MAGA gets right. And I want them to start implementing some of that stuff on their own, because they're losing the cultural war. They're losing, you know, their political optics is just terrible. Right now, they have literally proved every conspiracy theorist right. You pardon, you do preemptive pardons for Dr. Fauci. Biden, you did preemptive pardons for your whole fucking family.

You have done nothing but giving right-wing outlets content forever. Rules for thee and not for me. Chris, am I lying? No, the optics are bad. They didn't prove them right. You can't say they proved them right. They didn't prove them wrong. You can't beat allegations doing shit like that.

No, I hear what Chris is saying. It's like, yeah, you can't prove a conspiracy there's right, but what you can't do is emboldened them. And this behavior just emboldens them. It doesn't thwart what they believe at all. One simple question, show. Yeah. If Dr. Foucher didn't do anything wrong, why did you need a preempt the pardon?

That's what I said. How do you answer that, Chris? Fuck, I put in my arm. Because they're bringing in a tactile. you know, guy whose job is only to destroy Trump's political enemies or the people he calls his political. Well, why would he go after Dr. Pocci if Dr. Pocci didn't do anything? Isn't that what they just spent four years doing to Trump?

Like, didn't we literally watch this administration attack Trump in every way possible? Didn't they use the different bureaus? Didn't they use financial assault? I mean, like every single way they could have attacked this man, they did. Nothing sticks. and now that he could get his get back, they go, all right, I'm pardoned everybody. I don't want to deal with this.

Well, I would argue that the councils that they set up against Trump were much more independent and less politically motivated than Patel's going to be, obviously. Maybe, maybe, I get, yeah, I can see what you're saying. I understand what the optics are.

Yeah. I'm not arguing the optics. Yeah, I would say look beneath the optics. I know people aren't going to do that. What I just said before about Foucher, the idea of Fouchy being the head of this international conspiracy. You'll me to read these takeaways from his hearing?

It doesn't make, it doesn't stand up to even. You want to read these takeaways to turn again, Chris? I know, but that's obviously from a Republican chair of that department. He said these things on the stand. Said what? I mean, I don't want to relitigate this, but like. Why did, why does your whole family need a pardon, Chris?

My whole family? The Bidens. Why did the whole family need a pardon? That don't look crazy, Chris. I've said it five times because they're bringing in this guy Patel whose only job is going to go. Chris. Chris. Chris. Chris. Chris. He's having tea. They had tea today. Chris, don't dispute that's bad. They had tea with the guy. They did all of these preemptive pardons because Trump is so dangerous but then turned right around and had tea with him today.

If the city comes in and shuts down a very successful Chinese restaurant, why they show you? I don't like where this is going, but why? Just why? Why do you think? An Italian restaurant? Chinese restaurant. What you gonna do now? Is you shut it down? Let's talk about a Greek restaurant. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's a really good Persian. It might even be, as surprising as it sounds, there might even be a good German restaurant. What if they say Chris is a Chinese spy? He is, that's what I said. That's up the song, that's what I said. Whenever one day we start getting emails, like, you gotta hold all your phone records with Chris Monroe

and all your email records. Yeah. China might kill after me. I'm turning out of Chinese Thai. Cash, I know you listening. I know you've got someone listening. I need you to look into Chris Moreau. I need you looking at Chris Moreau.

He claims that he's Taiwanese. We never seen one Taiwanese person around him in his life. He don't speak no words in Taiwanese. I need you to look into this guy. I need you to look into this guy. All I know is I'm not doing this for the next four years. Okay. What I want Democrats to do is learn.

Shut the fuck up and learn. Nothing y'all do makes sense. It's not consistent. The arguments that you choose to have, The fights y'all choose to pick are absolutely positively ridiculous to be. And I don't respect any of y'all who had more smoke from Snoop Dog, Nellie, Soldier Boy, and Rick Ross. And you did for the actual politician. The actual politician.

He went out there on the campaign trail and told us he was a threat to democracy. Where was the smoke for President Obama? Amen. Obama should have got all the smoke. The smoke y'all giving his Snoop, Obama should have got. And yes, I know y'all keep pulling up this video of Snoop. Let me play the video of Snoop, the video where he was talking shit about Trump back Play the video or school.

And you have every right to call this hypocritical. Absolutely. But people are allowed to change. For Donald Trump, huh? Which one of you jigger boo ass niggas, niggas, gonna be the first one to do it? I'm waiting. I'm gonna roast the fuck out one of you

Uncle Tom ass niggas for doing. Which one of you niggas gonna do it first? I was the one that's performs for himself. Wow. That's great. No, that's crazy. But it looks back, You just said, you said change the state at the same agency.

It is crazy, but guess what? So is likening somebody to hit. Look, pull up Obama and the shit he said about Trump. The other day, General John Kelly, Donald Trump's former chief of staff, said that Trump told him he wanted his generals to be like Hitler's generals. Now, don't boom. Vote. Now, I want to.

explain that in politics, a good rule of thumb is, don't say you want to do anything like Hitler. You know, that's just good political advice. But it is useful because it gives us a window into how Donald Trump thinks. We do not need four years of a wannabe king, a wannabe dictator running around trying to punish his enemies. That's not what you need in your life. America's ready to turn the page. We are ready for a better story. I would also say that this is...

Who said that Obama likes Trump? That's the thing you were talking? You talk to people you don't like every day. Obama and Trump was chummy, chummy at Carter's funeral. Obama was showing all his teeth. And your wife ain't showing up. Your wife got the energy you should have. How do we even know that wasn't just a fake laugh?

Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I think about that. Why would you fake laugh with Hitler? He's trying to be professional. Man. Yeah.

I think the thing with this is like with Snoop and other people, they might have had an idea of what Trump was like eight years ago whenever this video was taken. And that might have changed. Their opinion might have changed. And you're allowed to change your opinion. So while you absolutely can call him a hypocrite because it seems hypocritical, if Snoop just came out was like,

yo, honestly, I got it wrong. And I really like the direction that Trump says he's going to take this country. And that's what I support right now. Can you say anything about him? By the way, the problem is Barack will not say that. This was- Barack will be chumming it up with them and showing his teeth

and he's not gonna come out and go, you know what, after talk to him, I actually like him, I think he's gonna be good. And this was eight years ago. That's what I'm saying. Obama's rhetoric was eight weeks ago. That's- So eight weeks ago, he's Hitler and now you're chumming it up.

Yo, would you even wanna sit next to Hitler? And by the fact that social media has more smoked with Snoop than they do President Obama really is what's wrong with us as a society. Oh, oh, let's go into this. Because we put rappers on raided pedestals, then we put our former elected officials and former elected officials. I don't even know if, I don't even know if we put them on pedestals. I wonder if it's just

you just love to see somebody get knocked down. I just, I personally just think this is inconsequential. I don't think that Snoop, Rick Ross, Nelly, and Soldier Boy performing at the inauguration is going to have any impact on future elections. With that picture of Donald Trump and Barack Obama cheesing it up at the funeral will, the optics of, hey, we're going to, hey, we're We're going to do preemptive pardons against, you know, for my whole family. But then we're going to still have, we're going to have tea with the guy that we're doing the preemptive pardons for. I mean, it's like, come on. Next time, next time Barack is on the campaign trail for whoever.

Brock ain't never doing that again. Say again? He ain't doing that again. All right, fair enough. I'm telling you. If he did go out and do it again and he called somebody the next Hitler, we would all remember that moment when he sat next to Hitler and they was having a great time. That's right. We'll never believe you ever again.

It's really just that simple. And what you're saying about Snoop, that's what I need elected officials to do. Next time President Obama does an interview, how could you call liking this man to Hitler? How could you say this man is the danger to our country? How could you say this man is a threat to democracy? But then just laugh with him at the funeral like it's all good.

Why are you not keeping the same energy of your wife's keeping? Why are you not keeping the same energy of your wife keeping? Well, you said, who's the new leader? I guess that's why Michelle Obama has always been looked at as the unofficial leader of the Democratic Party. They've been wanting Michelle to run for the last eight years. And she's the only person that seemed to keep the same energy. I respect it.

I respect the person who believes what they said. Even if what you said wasn't true. I respect the fact that you believe it that much. Donald Trump didn't go to the inauguration in 2020 because he believed the Democrats stole the election. And he acted like they stole the election. Ain't no peaceful of transfer of power over here. I'm not coming to the inauguration for a.

a party that just stole a goddamn election. That signals to his base. Number one, yes, Democrats probably did steal the election. Number two, Trump is always fighting for us. Except he didn't believe it. He just needed it. He acted like, it don't matter, Chris. He acted like he believed it.

Clearly, these people didn't believe that Trump was a fascist. Clearly. They never treated him like that. They never hired an attorney general that actually would go after him. They never hired an attorney general that would actually prosecute him. Now, Joe Biden wants to say things like that. like, I regret hiring Barrett Garland. I should have hired an AG that would have really went after Trump.

Shut the fuck up! Like, what are we doing? Why do we allow this type of playing in our face all the time, Chris? Silence. Let's pay some bills, man. Let's pay some bills. I'm not doing this for four years. But it's fun, but being that we are two of the greatest political...

We have to at least discuss it today. We have to give you one final episode about it. Listen, I don't have no problem talking about it every week. I'm just not going to sit here and lie to people. Which I've never tried to do. I've always tried to tell y'all the truth regardless. I'm not lying to the people about what we're seeing. There's no reason to do that.

Before that, though, there's nothing else y'all want to talk about. We'll get back to it. Let's just knock out an ad to reset the energy. All right, church announcement show, to see what we got. Shit. Oh, okay, ready? Oh, by the time this episode is probably out, I'll be in Miami at the Reserve Cup. So that's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, sorry, that's Thursday, Friday, Saturday in Miami.

This is Paddle, the greatest sports ever invented. I implore you to all go check it out. But this is the highest level of the game, and I'm very excited to do it. And I got obsessed with this sport like a year ago. And now to get these cool opportunities where I get to be like a captain on one of the teams, Derek Jeter is the other captain. And, you know, it's just fucking awesome. So if you're in Miami, you want to check out paddle at the highest level, go check it out.

It's going to be pretty sick. I want to salute to the homie Anita Copax, man. Anita Copax's new book, The Wind on Her Tongue is available everywhere you buy books right now. It is book two of the daughter of Three Waters trilogy. If you loved shallow waters that we put out about three, four years ago, I think it was about four years ago. Put out shallow waters. This is the sequel to shallow waters, man. The Wind on Her Tongue by Anita Copac. It is the latest release off my book in print, Black Privilege Publishing. It is available everywhere you buy books now. Now, I'm going to tell you y'all something. There's the people that love these series, right? They love shallow waters. They're going to love the wind on her tongue. When this is a major motion picture. The wind on her tongue?

The wind on her tongue. Yes. That's when a girl's eating your ass and you fart. It has nothing to do with that. But this is going to be a major motion picture or a film, a TV series in the future. Trust me when I tell you, Anita's writing is that incredible, man. I was reading this when we had the manuscript, and that's all I kept saying to myself,

like, yo, this book is going to be a major motion picture or a major TV series one day. So Salita, Asluta, Anita Copax, go pick this up wherever you buy books now. The wind on her tongue. Let's get back to the show. All memes necessary. Let's talk about Chappelle, man, on SNL.

What's this? That's what that is? He still got it? I watched the monologue twice. I watched it. Now, first of all, I wasn't. I thought it was good.

I thought it was really good. This is the, this is the, this was the episode of S&L that I watched all the way through because Chappelle was on it, because he was on, he did the monologue,

because he was in sketches and because of Glorilla performed. So they had me, I watched the whole episode. I thought it was a solid episode. Yeah, I mean, they was solid. Like, you know, I guess, you know,

this is my initial reaction when I watched it, the first time. I don't know if I wanted the speech at the end, you know. What was the speech at the end? Play the end part, Taylor. Just play the end part. It was the end when he's talking about Trump.

The presidency is no place for petty people. So Donald Trump, I know you watch the show. Man, remember whether people voted for you or not, they're all counting on you whether they like you or not they're all counting on you the whole world is counting on you not being this

when I say this good luck please do better next time please all of us do better next time do not forget your humanity and please have empathy for displaced people whether they're in the palisades

or Palestine thank you very much and good night I'm not mad at it. You know, I guess for me, man, and that's probably ironic coming from us because we talk politics, but it's just like I'm looking for escapism. You know what I'm saying? And I guess I'm not mad at it.

Even watching it again just next night. It's my third time seeing it. Like, I'm like, I'm not mad at it. I just don't know if I wanted that at the end, but I don't mind it because that's what they bought him there for. Like, you know, he even explains how Lauren Michaels, you know, reached out to him early on and asked him to do it right. after the election and he was like, no, I'm good. He literally said it. He was like, no, I'm chilling. I'm good. I got this Netflix money. I'm good.

Start in October. Lauren Michaels called me, and he asked me to do Saturday Night Live the first episode after the election. And I was like, nah, man, I'm cool. And he's like, why not? And it's like, man, things are going good and finish my Netflix deal. I got all this money and stuff. And he's like, oh, man, no, come on, please. And I said, I tell you what, I tell you it. Just to get off the phone, I go, you know what I'll do? I said, just save the date closest to January 6th. And then the date started rolling around, and in December, he started calling me again.

And again, I was like, ah, man, I want to do it. And this goes on for like weeks and weeks. And then finally, you know what, I go, you know what? I could just get rid of all these old Trump jokes. And start fresh. I said, you know what? I'll do it. But he had a lot of good shit in here, man. I thought that the LA Fires thing was dope.

I mean, even the way he set it up, he was just like, it's way too early to be joking about that. And he waked at the camera. The moment I said, yes, LA burst into flames. It's a tough one, you know what I mean? Because I'm tired of being controversial. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. And it is way too soon

to do jokes about a catastrophe like that. It is. I thought it was good. I mean, it was a good monologue. You know what I'm saying? It was a good monologue. good episode. And I mean, you know, Dave is,

Dave is built for moments like this. Like, this is when people want to hear from Dave Chappelle, you know? Yeah, I guess I just wanted a little bit more. That shit was funny, too. The Diddy shit was funny. The Diddy shit was so good because it was an original take on Diddy Jokes.

I've been in trouble in my day. Well, I've been in a lot of trouble in my day. But, man, let me tell you something. This guy is in an enormous amount of trouble. I've never, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. this. They've got this guy in a RICO case by himself. My friends asked me.

They say, Dave, did you know anything about those freakoff parties? I know anything about the freak off. And they all look at me like, and they'd be like, well, how all these people you know is that freak off? But she's the only one that wasn't at the freak off. And I thought about it for a minute. I said, oh, my way to find that out. You imagine you and me reading the newspaper

and found out everyone in Hollywood had an orgy behind your back. What do you all call me? Well, that really hurts. Yeah, I just thought it was a good monologue. That's all I can say. You know what I'm saying? I thought it was a good monologue.

I thought his Diddy Jokes was good because they were an original take on Diddy Jokes. It's something I haven't heard before. The LA Wildfires thing was interesting. What else we got Taylor? Salute the Chappelle. I thought it was a good joke. job on nothing.

Glorilla Kilted, too, though. God damn. She's fun. What, what? The what? When they did the balloon pop there. I mean, it was a cool sketch. I mean, it was, like, when I saw this sketch, I actually, I think I told Donnell this what

they should do. If I'm not joke, like, Donnell said something about the balloon pop thing. I'm like, oh, you got to come out is Ashley Larry during the balloon pop thing. That would only make sense. That's fine. And that's what happened. Like, it was good. Shout out to, uh, shout out to Chappelle, man.

Meet Sucet Sucely. Silky. Thank you all there. Silky, that shoot. Sweet day and salutations, ladies. My name is Silky Johnson. A little bit about me. I'm a purveyor of precious goods and services.

Donnell to Abe or Yale to 50th. Bishes. I'm sorry. Are you some sort of sex trafficker? I don't do traffic. I take helicopters, bitch. And as for you, that coat right there looks like your skin the grouch. Horrible bitches make horrible decisions.

Shout out to horrible. And you got the shout out. Tangerines, not your color, and there's something in your belly button. Made you look as for this one here. Who? I know you ain't talking about you. You're talking about your shit one looking at.

Shipmoker. Do me a favor and hand this woman another balloon. Ow. Sass him out. Good day, ladies. Let's meet our last guy. Play this one. Like you just asked.

Larry. This stuff before I pass away. I can't leave all y'all y'all bitches pop the balloon on me. I'm going back to the street. That was good. It's good. Shut out, Donnell, man. So you think Donnell is more loyal to Dave than Yale is the 50? No, maybe the same.

I don't know. They're both-loyal. They're both very loyal. Shout out Donnell, man. So he killed it at Radio City? I didn't see it. I heard about it, though. I heard that he killed it.

He always kills it, though. Donnell's so fucking funny, man. Nah, Donnell's so funny, man. Donnell is a-old. What else we got, Taylor? Oh, yeah. All right. What did we do to him on Breakfast Club?

What did we do to him on Breakfast Club? I want to talk about some topics. What else we got? It happens all the time in the NBA. He told you something. He might be lying. How you know he's not lying? Why would I do that?

That happens all the time in the NBA. What? People untied in fucking shoes of people. What else we got, man? Y'all know y'all just, y'all know y'all just want to talk about Trump. That's the thing. It's like there's cause. It's like there's no force.

Bigger than Trump in terms like media attention. Right now? Like for example, like usually like Dave Chappelle doing SNL is like this monumental thing that we all need to lock into. No. I haven't even heard. Everybody's watching it to hear what Dave got to say about Trump. They're there.

If they're even watching. The only conversation that I've heard this weekend is about the pardon, about Trump, through the executive orders. It's just everything gets swallowed up by Trump. But that's why I said right now, it's been like this for the last. You might be right. You might be right. You might be right. Trump has literally dominated the news cycle since it's the first time he ran back in 2050.

It's just unbelievable. And it never stops. Why do you think? Why do I think? Yeah. Because we never had an entertainer in politics. And so he made the world, he made the worlds of politics and pop culture clash. The person that did that before was Obama.

Obama did that before. I think Clinton did that in the 90s. But just Trump took it to a whole other level because he was the executive producer, celebrity apprentice, and he understands the entertainment of it all. And he's even, you think about it, right? Trump is bringing in people that never had any, like, sway in politics. It's now the Dana Whites of the world. Yeah.

You know, the Hollywood Ambassador Committee he just put together with the Vessna Lone, Mel Gibson, creating, you know, positions for Elon Musk and Vivek Ramoswamy. He just knows how the motherfucking keeps she going. You know, SNL started with a spoof of MSNBC. And they spoofed Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Stephanie Roole, Chris Hayes. But literally the whole thing was about how, when he's, ever they tried to do regular news, they were interrupted by a Trump tweet. That's funny.

So every single time they're on there just trying to do regular news, it was like, wait, breaking news, Donald Trump just said such and such. And Donald Trump just did this. And that's what we're going to be dealing with for the next four years. So there's an interesting thing about Trump, right? People who demand your attention are people that are unpredictable. You just don't know the next thing that they're going to say out of their mouth, right? And like homeless people, you get our attention all the time because they just say crazy shit, right?

Trump, you never know what the fuck he's going to say, right? You never know the next thing that's going to come out of his mouth. And then you add on the presidency, which is the highest stakes of saying anything. Like you say one sentence, it can completely change markets. It can change geopolitics. So you have a guy who you never know what the fuck he's going to say in the position where you have to be the most disciplined in terms of what you say. So of course we can't look away.

It makes perfect sense. And I've never seen, it's weird to me that people still talk about Trump like he's campaigning. He's not campaigning. Yeah, it's over. So y'all can keep pulling up all of this stuff. Like, and, you know, oh, look what he said here. And he said it doesn't matter. He's the president of the United States of America.

The only person that can fuck Donald Trump up at this point is Donald Trump. And, I mean, that's really Democrats' biggest hope. Democrats need the hope for an implosion. But even in hopes of an implosion and the Republicans just fucking this up. bad over the next two to four years, are you in a position to recover the fumble? It don't matter. If you're a team that's not in a position to recover to fumble, it don't matter with the other team, though.

Democrats might fuck up and people might still feel like, you know what, though, but I still like what the conservatives are doing better. So the MAGA thing might be over in 2008, but that don't mean that they won't go support Nikki Haley or support, you know, I don't know. You know what's interesting? The deal that, uh, the deal that, uh, the deal. between Israel and Hamas, right, was the same deal that Biden was offering. There's no difference in the deal.

There is one difference. Donald Trump. Exactly. So people are like, oh, give the Biden administration credit for it. No, the Biden administration couldn't get Netanyahu to agree to it. What Trump did is he walked in, he told Netanyahu, you're going to do it. And then he's like, okay, I'll do it. Or you're not getting any more missiles.

You're not getting any more funding. You're not getting any more support. So they actually... And when you're dealing with somebody so unpredictable, you don't know what hell to pay me? Exactly. People are either afraid of him or don't want to piss him off or believe his word when he says something. We did not feel that way with Biden. Nobody even thought Biden was making the fucking decisions. So that's another thing Democrats got to realize. If you say something, you got to mean it. You got to believe it. You got to do it. What you just said is the key. When you say something, you have to believe it. Republicans are more sincere about their lies than Democrats are about their truth. But it's also like Democrats say shit all the time. that they don't believe. Exactly.

They're talking about, they're talking about hormone blockers for kids. It's like, you don't believe it. No, it's not a Republican, Democrats. Talking about hormone blockers for kids,

you don't fucking believe it. John Oliver did a whole piece about how trans women don't have any sort of advantage against regular women in sports. And it's just like, you don't believe that. There's no way you believe.

Stop saying the shit you don't believe so that people like you. And then if you do believe things, act like you believe them. Because if you're going to I'm going to keep going back to this over and over because y'all are going to see how this comes back to haunt them in the future

when they try to scream about the big, bad Republican. Nobody's going to believe them unless, of course, Donald Trump proves them right. Donald Trump has to go out there and prove them right. If Donald Trump, he just goes out there, he's a regular, you know, conservative president and we end up in a recession, fine. We've been there.

But as far as the fascism and the likinging them to Hitler, and the threat to the democracy. If he doesn't do all of that, why should we ever believe Democrats ever again, Chris? What? Get off his dick, man. Jesus Christ.

No, y'all need to get off Democrats' dick. Being on Democrats' dick is what got you on this position. Y'all ride Democrat dick so much that y'all got delusional and lost track of reality and didn't even see motherfuckers like this kicking y'all ass. Y'all thought that this crazy night,

since he was spewing would never connect with people. You know why? Because y'all lost connection with people. Facts. Can we get, can we do some asking, idiot? Is this some asking idiots? It's the truth. It's just the truth.

I want to talk to the people, man. And you've got to study this. Like, every Democrat should be studying what happened since 2016 and learning from what these people have done. If you can't acknowledge what they've done, right, you'll never figure out how to win in the future. All right. I don't know how to articulate it right now.

Well, no, that never stops us. That's right. Shoot, Chris. What's on your mind? I just worry that the fact that I do think the system has some value, right? Is the system annoyed? What system? The system is like, yo, there's a yellow strip of paint down the highway, right?

Are you referring to the political system? Yes, you stay on this side. It's an unwritten rule, right? And everybody, it's just a piece of paint, but people respect it to a certain degree. And that's what stops people from driving head on into each other. And yes, there's a lot of bullshit

and there's a lot of pomp and hypocrisy. We know this, but like, there are certain things that we don't cross the line. And I feel like he, I mean, while we're talking, I'm like reading about his coins. It's crypto coin, yeah. I'm just like, you know, this dude is like swerving in and out on both sides of the road.

And it's different and it's exciting. And it's a great show. and we haven't seen it before, but it's gonna fucking crash. There's a reason they put the yellow line down the middle. And just because he's putting on this great show doesn't mean what? I'm just listening. I'm just saying that your metaphor involves a car crash. Yeah.

No, it's not a reach. They're really not. I don't know why you keep throwing your people under the boat every week. I don't know why you're- I thought of any metaphor, you know. Every week you do this. And then it's our phone. You're supposed to be our Chinese.

representative and you just shit on them any other metaphor, man. That was incredible. Why are you thinking about car accident? Why are you constantly thinking about car accidents, bro? The stereotype only involves tight driving in New York City anyway. We're not talking about highways and freeways. All right. You guys know what I'm talking.

Yes, you're talking about China. China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China. China, China, China. Her usual, Chris. Yeah, you always make this about China. you. We're trying to talk about Donald Trump. You're trying to talk about the... Okay, Chris, can I do one thing?

What should Democrats be learning from this situation? Mandarin? You got to go ten toes down. You got to stand on business. You got to mean it when you say it. I agree with that a thousand percent. That's it. Okay. I just don't like rewarding somebody who lies all the time and who manipulates. What you mean rewarding?

He's the president. America rewarded him. Yeah, I don't like it. Well, it is what it is. Like, I've been saying this over and over. The language of politics is dead. Donald Trump killed it and what I don't understand is if somebody like Trump can do this, right, based off lies, why can't this other guy, other people do it based off truth? And I'm putting it all in air quotes by the way. The lies and truth. All right, I like that. That's my, like, what's the problem? You know why? Because they pussy. They cowards. They've been cowards. We've been saying it.

Nothing is changed and nothing is going to change until they stop being cowboys. Five eight, bro. A bunch of five-eights. Five-eighths and under. Let's play. There, we got more ads? Taylor, gang, let's do some asking idiots, man. Take us away, Taylor. I bet you it's a bunch of Trump questions.

It isn't? Let's see. Let's see. Make it bigger, please. Ooh, Kidma Quindy says, if you had one executive order, what would it be? What would it be, Schultz,

if you had one executive order? Wow, that's a good one. You go first. I got to think on that one. If I had one executive order, what would it be? Hmm. I don't fucking know. It would definitely probably be, it would have something to do with the economy in some way, shape, or form.

I mean, this would be some wild shit for him to do. But, like, you know, I saw Biden propose. I know they actually implemented that I think victims of the L.A. wildfire got like $700 and some shit like that. Right? If I was Trump, I would come out the gate doing something like that. I would come out the gate doing something that puts money in people's pockets because one of the biggest things that they're saying about him now

was that a lot of the things that he's doing have nothing to do with the things that he's ran on, bless you. You know, especially in regards to like grocery prices coming down. So being that that's not the easiest thing to do, why not just jump out the gate and say, yo, here's a stipend for your groceries. Here's some money for your groceries. Here's some type of, you know, universal basic income. come for your groceries. Here's $500. This is for your groceries. Say it. Say, I'm doing an executive order to make sure that all Americans, you know, making under this amount of money

get, you know, this amount of bread or something like that. I don't know. I don't know if that's something you can even do with executive order, but it would definitely have something to do with the economy that at least make the people that have voted for you because of the economy feels like you're doing what it is you can do. It's like when Biden promised the student loan debt, that he was going to get rid of all student loan debt, and he couldn't get a lot of things passed through Congress. So he did a lot of things through executive order. So it's kind of like the same type of scenario.

Yeah, what would my first executive order be? I don't know. That's like a great question. I wanted to say something silly and dumb and funny, but I don't know. I just can't even think of it. You're a comedian. Yeah, I'm trying to like, what would my first executive order be? What about Chris?

Chris, what would you do? What would you your first executive order to do? Maybe something around guns. Like what? You want to need more of them over the next four years, Chris? So you want to ban them? Are you sure you want to ban them right now? Yeah.

Yeah, I think it's a big problem in the country. Why do you make that face after? I know. The face cracked me up. It was like plenty of mice and men shit. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a big problem. Big problem.

Guns. Yeah. Chris, what the hell does happen right there? What were you channeling? It was like the fonts. I'm like very hot or something. You sure? Chris, playing retardant ain't going to save you over the next one year.

I'm telling you, that's the next target on his list. I'm telling you right now. Okay? It's not going to happen. Jonathan William Rosario says if you could choose any, what cabinet position would you want in Trump's administration? Interesting. Chris, would you take a role in?

Trump's administration? No. What? So you don't want to make no change? You could make all the change in the world. Trump's not putting me in his administration. He only puts people in who have absolute loyalty. If he made you ambassador of Taiwan, would you take it? That's the one I would consider. You see what I'm saying?

You just got to get close. It just got to get close. And then soon you will be chuckling at a funeral with Trump. And we all going to go, I knew it. I knew it. I knew Christmas maga. You care more about geopolitical politics than you do America, Chris. He cares more about China, bro.

I just said guns. There are no guns in Taiwan. Yeah, you don't want us to have guns so we can't defend ourselves from the Chinese when they fucking come over here and they're spy balloons. This is what this is all part of Chris's plan. Yo, what happened? Go ahead. Go get all of our guns, take all of our guns, then the Chinese come in in their sky balloons and then they take over our country and it's all because of Chris. You won't let that happen to the drones?

That's going to say. What happened to the fucking drone? Why don't you mind your business about the government when they're doing government shit? Let the government cook. Let the government cook. What happened to the drone? They did what they needed to do. Can you have some faith in government?

Can you have, have they let you down once? Oh, my God. Has the United States government let you down one time? Yes, a lot. A single time in history, has that ever happened? Yes, the underscore corner said, who would be the perfect NBA guest on an episode of idiots? Dwight Howard. I was going to say the same thing.

He's not in the NBA, though. Yeah, but he was in the NBA, and he's, really he'd be really interesting for this part i like draymond huh i like draymond oh you're doing watch that Dwight would be cool no Dwight would be incredible you think so with us it's the dream yeah it's literally flip the pancake the dream that would be the name of the episode flip the pancake right who who who guy needs to dress up then then it's Robbing? No, he's not gay. He was pounding muff. Now, he was cracking girls open, man.

You want it. Yeah, the white would be good. I think Draymond would be interesting. No, Draymond's great. It's just great talking. But I'm saying, for the jokes, for the fun, for the funsy-onesies. I mean, Zion will be good, too. Oh, yeah. I mean, it just depends on which way you want to go. You want us to be homophobic or fat shame? Which one you want us to do? Honestly, we might need both of them here at the same time. You think so? We might need to ask, why, Zion's thick enough. If you can go here to win. Thick enough right there.

What do you think of that? You think of all that meat. Could you handle that? Yo, we need Dwight Howard on the pod. We just need to know his opinion about the rumors. We need to get these jokes on. Dwight don't give a fuck. I know.

He's seven foot. Got 10 babies. That's one thing I respect about Dwight Howard. He don't give a fuck. I mean. Dwight Howard plays into it all. You call him gay. You can call him dead be.

He don't get, he plays into it all. He's the only guy with 10 kids that gets called gay. You know what I mean? Like, he got a lot of evidence that he likes pussy. That is a very true statement. Like, I would like... What if he came in on a potty?

He was like, let me tell you something. If men could get pregnant, I'd have a hundred kids. Shit. The White Howard. Zinnison says, what percent of influences

do you think are actually real? What does that even mean? I don't know what that means. What does that mean, Genison? You mean, like, people who actually have real influence? Nah.

Oh. Maybe. I don't even know who the influence. I thought he meant like authentic. But shit, are there fake influencers? Is there like AI shit? AI. Oh, there are?

Yeah. AI making some cute girls, bro. I ain't gonna lie. Instagram catches me. What else we got, Taylor? Cheez, I tell everything is about Trump. Yep. What do y'all's, go, go.

Molly Cut says, Can economic success make you politically out of touch? Of course. God damn looting. Can't wait. Can't wait. A hundred percent. Can't wait.

Absolutely can make you politically out of touch. Absolutely. Because when you have a lot of economic success, you tend to stay away from the people who are actually dealing with these everyday issues that politicians talk about. I say it all the time. Politicians talk about people they never talk to. You know what I mean?

Like, you ain't really talking to these people that you claim to be talking to because if you did, then you know what they fucking care about. Yeah. Over the last year, the thing is. you've heard me come out of my mouth are because I sit around and have conversations with working class people. Yep. And working class people tell me about everything from the border to all the other issues

that they're dealing with. And yes, when you have economic success, it can make people to get out of touch. Shit, when you got political success, it can make you out of touch. Because most of them motherfuckers in the D.C., they're in a bubble. Yep. They're not going to fucking New York, New Jersey, and talking to people. They're not down in South Carolina and rural areas talking to people. All the Democrats thought that Kamala

was going to win easily. Like, if you ask him. No, once again, that's the other lie. Well, I'm just saying, because I remember you asked me one time and I said Kamala without question, right? But think about it. The campaign was lying to us, Chris,

let's go back to the Democrats lying, right? The campaign lied to us because they said they never had any, none of their inside intel said that she was up in the polls ever. None of their internal polling said she was ever in the lead. Ever. We watched it on Pod Save America.

Her campaign. The Harris campaign said not one time did internal polling say that she was in the lead and all of these polls that were coming out saying she was winning here and winning there. They were like, where is this happening at? Why wouldn't they be real with people and tell them that? Why wouldn't they just come out and tell the truth? You wanted her to release a statement saying I'm losing in my polling? Yes.

How else would you energize people, Chris? How do you energize your base? Oh, you mean to get the vote out. Yes. Got it. If you lie to people and say, hey, we're up. There's people that'll probably be like, oh, she's going to win anyway. Let's stay home.

Yeah. And they don't feel as enthused to go out there and vote. Maybe. I just, yeah. Yeah, maybe. So, yes, political success can make you politically. All success can make you out of touch. And it's very easy to get caught up in a bubble.

And, yeah, I think the people who have the longest careers are probably the ones that are less caught up in a bubble. This is a good one. Sam Silve says, where will AI's biggest positive impact be seen? creative or legislative initiatives. Creative or legislative initiatives. Medical. Yeah, it's probably medical. Yeah.

Why do you say that, Chris? I think, well, this is within the framework of beneficial, right? I think it'll make a lot of money. Because, you know, most doctors are operating in a silo and don't have access to as much information as you think they do. And this is a way for them to, you know, have access to an amazing database and basically solve

mysteries and come up with diagnoses that they wouldn't be able to on their own. So they'll be able to run all of these different AI scenarios about people that are suffering from different diseases. Right, I go in with Lyme disease, right? Nobody knows what it is. Well, they go in, in theory, in the future,

you know, I'm experiencing this, this, this, and all these different symptoms. Right now, it's a mystery, but they'll be able to run it in enough times that they'll actually be able to, in theory, cancer too. I mean, this could probably be one of the better ways to solve cancer. Yeah, it's like solving skin cancer right now.

They can synthesize like billions of photos of skin cancer and create models that allow you to understand more quickly what skin cancer is. Yeah. And identify it unlike human bodies. Just exponentially increases the speed of research and discovery. Yeah. And a lot of these diseases, that is the issue.

And research and discovery can also be incredibly expensive. so if it can make that cheaper, you know, in theory, we would get to some sort of solution in the near future. So I definitely think it's going to be more medical than creative. There is some really cool stuff that's coming out. Like, there are people who have made AI movies. Like, they're entirely made in AI. They have actors.

Man, they've been killing me with some trailers. You see it. I shared that he man trailer so much. I'm like, yo, this shit looked fire. The shit with Chris Helmsworth. I'm like, this shit looked fire. There's somebody who'd be like, yeah, that's AI. I'm like, nah.

I need that. It's like an AI. And then I had to go look and see if it was AI. And the first thing, as soon as I Googled it, it was like, Masters of the Universe trailer with Chris Helmsworth, AI confuses so many people online. I'm like, God. I mean, that's a great way to get excitement, create the excitement about around a project.

Like, if you're trying to bring back He Man Masters of the Universe, use AI to make the trailer drop it, show that the audience is there. They're really excited for it. Well, they're doing the movie. It's on Netflix. Oh, phenomenal. It's supposed to come out of 2006. That's another reason I thought it was real.

Oh, so it was already made. Yeah, I thought it was real. I just was like, oh, no, I thought it was real. But I'm going to tell you where AI is really going to be good as far as the creative is concerned. I really just have this, I have this vision. And, you know, somebody like Mi'Kai is executing, it's salute to the good folks at Meekai.

But it's like, if you're at home with your glasses on, but you can be in here with us right now. Like, you're not just watching Brilliant Idiots on YouTube. You're not just listening to it on the podcast. You're actually in the room with us. Like, if you want, you can do whatever you want, you can rub our faces with your head. Like, you could be sitting here, seeing us up close and personal

as we're doing an episode of idiots. Like, and you see how like when, you know, Kaas and nod and academics and they're online and they got the chat and everything, it's like, just that's taking that to another level. Like, these people are not just in a chat with us. They're actually in the room virtually looking around the studio and shit like that.

I think that'll provide a different experience. Especially if you can feel, here. Absolutely. Absolutely. I think that'll just provide a different, a different experience. So, you know, there's companies like, like I said, Mekai. You can go to meetkai.com, see what they're doing, M-E-E-E-T-K-A-I.com. Pretty sure is, yeah, that's it, right? Meetcaid.com. But, like, they're a company that's working on that kind of technology. What else we got, Taylor? Give us some more asking idiots. Fabian rules.1 says, if you could relive one year again, what would it be? And why? What would you change? I mean, this year.

Without a doubt, this past year is the greatest year of my life. Like, I had a baby. I headlined arenas around the world. Like, I film a special. I think I did that this year or no. Maybe I'd know. That was last year, yeah. That was last year.

Yeah, yeah. So last year, yeah, like just, yeah, this last year was absolutely amazing. Yeah. If you could relive one year again, what would it be and why? What would you? I don't, I don't know. I don't, I like things. way that they are. I don't think if I relive, I mean, if I could relive it and not, see, I don't

want to change it. That's the thing. Don't change it. Enjoy it. Yeah. If I could just go back to the moment and enjoy it, yeah, but I don't want to change anything. Yeah. You know? And I guess if we know, like say we were able to go back to a certain year. Without knowing, it's too difficult. It's like Marty McFlying back to the future. Remember when Doc Brown told Marty McFlaid don't interact with nobody? No, I'm saying I want to go back, but I don't want to know I'm in the year. Like, I don't want to go. Yeah. I don't want to go. I don't. Yeah. I back and knowing everything because that'll be boring. Like, just go there's going up.

I fuck shit up. I fuck shit up. Yeah, yeah. Just in a debate. You're too nosy. I know. Yeah, I've been debating my whole life. So imagine going back knowing what some shit, knowing for sure what's about to happen. Yeah, forget.

Oh, I'll be biff off this motherfucker. Like, yeah, I'm telling you who going to win the Super Bowl. I'm telling you who going to win the NBA championship. I'm telling you who going to win the election. Like, and you just sounding like a madman to people. Like, because you're telling them exactly what's about to happen. Yeah. They'll fucking kill you for that shit.

Yeah, probably. Farouk Morris said if you could be featured with any artist dead or alive on a song, who would it be? Any artist dead or alive on a song? So I'm, I mean, I can't sing. I can't rap. So I don't know how I'm going to be featured. But it would be sick to be in like a Sam Cook, this little light of mine. You know, like some cool, beautiful song.

Maybe like the Beatles. Yeah, some iconic song that will. Oh, actually, you know what? I want to be featured on the national anthem. I'm surprised we said that. Why? Well, not really bad. I was like, you're going to say something about Kendrick.

No, say it. The last time you sang the National Anthem, Chris. Every morning I brush my teeth. Go to the bathroom, get up, sing the National Anthem. Which one? Which one? Oh, say Taiwan. Free!

Don't worry, Chris. You on that list. I'm telling you right now. They're going to check in on you. They're going to check it on you. Give us for a more, Taylor. I don't give a fuck. Because if the person's dead, it's probably AI

or some old verse anyway. Like, I don't want to be on a... I can feature on a song with a dead person right now if I wanted to. You got to go do the national anthem, bro. What if you had a bar? What if you had an ad-lib? You know, you want to know the song?

I don't know the song. It would probably be Nuck and a few buck. I think Nuck if you buck is one of the greatest. I think Nuck if you buck is one of the greatest. records ever recorded for any genre of music. Sweet Caroline, you're the one that goes bop, ba, bah.

That ain't hard. That don't hit as hard as Nuck if you buck, though. By the way, bop, bop, bop, don't hit as hard as bha, bop, bop. I mean, he did steal that from Neil Diamonds, right?

It don't hit. He did steal it from Neil Diamond. Ba'p, ba. My couples in a couple of weeks, too, boy. You going? No, I'm not going. I have no reason to be there. My Dallas Cowboys ended it.

But, boy, Drake fighting hard and not have not like us played the Super Bowl. I'll tell you that much. That's what this is about, right? It's part of it. It's God damn, bro. This is, this is bad. Kendrick better sing that shit at the Super Bowl. It's the anniversary of the pop-up show.

He better sing it at the Super Bowl. He got to. He's going to win a Grammy before it before that? He better sing that shit at the Super Bowl. He's going to win a Grammy before. I think all of this stuff, a lot of this stuff Drake did is literally just to stop momentum at the Grammys, to stop momentum at the Super Bowl. I really believe that.

I mean, there's no, the Grammys are done. It's still going to be momentum. But the Super Bowl thing, he got to sing it at the Super Bowl. And if you can convince the Grammys to be like, oh, this song has a lot of controversy around it. It is about pedophiles and stuff. It is involved in the lawsuit. Maybe we don't give them the Grammy this year, you know?

Maybe we don't give him the Grammy. Oh, oh, Super Bowl, NFL, a little shook, a little scared. Oh, this song is caught up in a lawsuit. If we let him perform it, do we get caught up in the lawsuit, too? Do we get sued? I think Drake did a lot of that. He did a lot of that to try to get ahead of it and try to, like, derail them more. That's interesting.

The damage is done, Drake. You can't know. It's crazy. He got to just stop. He's just got to be like, my bad and move. He got to foul you. That's right. You can't get parted in hip-hop.

You can't get pardoned. You know what I mean? Like you gotta just say, my bad, this shit was corny. You know, why am I suing somebody? I got beating a rap beef. Let's go listen to my hits again. He's never what? He's not going to do that.

He's not going to do that. Let's do one more, Taylor. Let's do one more asking that. to mine. Okay, well, this one just came in. You don't want no Trump questions? Yeah, we can take Trump questions. This is a good one, man.

Hustler underscore provided wants to know, what can Trump do for each one of you as a president? What can you do for each one of us as a president? I don't need him to do anything for me. I just need him to be a president to all Americans. If you're a president to all Americans, you know what I mean? Then, you know, you will at least do it for me.

If you do it, like, I just need you to be a president for all Americans. be a president for all Americans. Yeah, you do. Yes, you do. Chris is American. I don't care about Donald Trump being president for some Chinese loyalists. I want him to be

president for Americans that are loyal to America and want to see America prosper. If you don't want to see America prosper, then Trump don't got to be a president for you. Chris, do you want to see America prosper? How do you guys keep asking me this? Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!

Yo! Cash! Yo, Cash. Cash. Whoever... Chris don't even know. This is an interview. This is for Cash. And you're not answering these questions right at all, Chris.

You're just making them more suspicious. Cash, we got him. Cash, I just want to let you know. We got him. We got him right there. He refused to answer the question. Cash, we got him. You go knock on the door.

You do what you got to do. If he can't come next week, we understand. Taylor going to hold it down 40 minutes late. Chris answered like a person. that know they're being recorded when he was like, why do you keep asking me? Why do y'all keep asking?

See what I'm saying? Trump got on. I don't let a deal with this shit. If you love America, Trump is your president. Taylor, you love America? No. All right, well, Trump, now you're present.

You know, and I hope your diress looks into your shit. I'm good with the IRS. Miles, do you love America? Yeah. That day! You get a president. Hell yeah.

You can I'm like, I'm good on America. No, you're not. You came back. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, I didn't. You became your American ad back.

You're absolutely right. Who said I won't? What you're waiting on? All right. We got to style. I love America. I love America. I love South Carolina.

I love most corner where I'm from. Do I always agree with America in its systems? No. This has been a great country for all of us. Exactly. Cut it out. Everybody gets upset. that America, everybody's frustrated by America, right?

Republicans, Democrats, everybody's frustrated. Just because you're frustrated or you're not happy that things are going the exact, perfect way. It doesn't mean that you can't love it still. It's the same America it was four years ago. Who said that? Said what? Said what?

That we don't love America. Taylor just said it. She literally just said it. Taylor literally just said it, Chris. Democrats are losing their mind, man. I'm telling you, this is bad. This is what I got to put up with. I can't even, I'm going to be honest with you.

That's what I got to put up with. I can't even build with people that are losing their mind like this, Chris. You're losing your mind. Like, you got to get back. Come on. You got to come back. You got back to the fighting shape, bro. Come on.

Like, don't let this shit shake you to the core. I know. You got a rhodovirus. You got to not, don't let that fucking rotavirus take you down, Chris. I'm being dead serious. And Taylor, say you love America. No, I don't. Taylor, you love America.

You never move. Hey, Taylor, Taylor, I bet you any amount of money you won't move to Africa. Why not? I bet you any amount of money. Did you love America when Barack was in office? No. So you've never loved America? You've never loved America?

No, I don't like this. Have you been to a country you love? Yeah. Which one? Well, yeah, I love Jamaica. That's good. Would you live there? I don't know.

The only thing is if they had Amazon, then I'll be good. For real. The Amazon. Yo, give me another asking this. You see what I'm like to do with. You're frustrating the fuck. People are looking at a podcast like God damn it, Taylor. What the fuck?

You love all this American inventions. Taylor, you can't, you don't love America? This goes back to what we're talking about earlier. Taylor, you can't say these big bold statements. Well, why the big bone? Why do I have to love America? You don't got to. What's the reason you don't?

I'm asking you why you don't. Sometimes. It's kind of systems. Like, I don't like how they treat teachers. I don't like how, especially with my line of work, like payment. Like, that's really a lot of America has to do it. You want to make more money. You don't have to do America, though.

Why not? I had to do I-Hard Radio. Exactly. It has nothing to do that. We're talking about in general, this country's a lot in debt. There's no rule that says you can't pay. Countries in debt. Is it not?

I mean, it is. Hold on. Hold on. You think you're not getting into what you. No. No. Hold on. No.

Hold on. So you think you'd say you can't. You're not getting paid, you should be getting paid at eye heart because America is there. No, no. I'm just saying in general. You didn't know what happened when she asked for the raise and they were like, oh, got it, bro. We like, we're 30 trillion debt.

Yo, look at that debt, I'm just saying, in general. I was supposed to pay you more when we owe $30 trillion. By the way, that was fired. I'm just saying in general. If somebody hit you with that, you got to tell me who it is so I can go call them a legend. That's some legendary shit to tell an employee. I'm just saying in general, it's hard out here and I just need America to do better when it comes to just treat this. But it seems financial.

So if you was making real money, when you start making crazy money, when you're making millions of dollars, then you think you love America? Probably. That's what I'm talking about. And that means you don't really care about the systems you're talking about them. You just care about money. Because there's other people who are still going to be impacted by those systems.

Absolutely. And I wish if I had a million dollars, I could give it to people that are less privileged. Like, again, my mom's, my mom was a teacher. And it's not fair that she didn't get paid them out. She should have got paid. How much you think she should have got paid? She should have been a baker. She should have been a baker.

I agree with that my mom in the public school. But I'm just saying our kids are in school for majority of their lives, right? I agree with this. But what this got to do with America, though? Why are you saying? What does I do with America? I'm just saying what does that have to do with the overall system of America? Because they're too, I don't know the right word to say when it comes to disfinance.

It's just not... Maybe the focus or... The focus is wrong. Are you saying that the gap between the haves and the hafnox is too wide? You hate the wealth gap that exists in America. Is that what you're saying? But also, you just don't like that America prioritizes certain... Maybe it doesn't prioritize certain jobs, like teaching.

Like, rappers shouldn't make more money than teachers is what you're saying? Yeah. Oh, okay. I understand the influence. It doesn't have to be rappers, but it's entertainment. I understand the influence. Right. I disagree with that, too, though.

And the reason I... The only reason I... disagree with that is because the entertainment industry just makes more money than the education system. Yeah. It's not unfortunate. It's just the truth to the bad. Like football players shouldn't make any money. Most of them are retards.

But because of the system that we have in place, they're getting paid tens of millions of dollars to run into each other head first. I don't know if all football players are retards. But I would say the majority of them. I don't know if that's true. But even with that, that system makes mad money. You don't think the majority is probably a half. suffer from being a retard? No.

I honestly think you can get CTE more from being on social media nowadays than you can't by being on the football field or being in the boxing. I think social media makes you stupider than playing football. I mean, it's definitely made me dumber. It's bad.

It's bad. It's bad. But I think running into somebody head first every single day is probably not that good for your brain. I just want Taylor to get more money. Yo, me too. That's all.

I think what you should do is play football. I think we need to start here. What you need to do is start playing football. Can we give Taylor a raise on Brion Idiot at least? I think we should. We got to give her a raise. We got to give her a raise. Here you go.

You got a book. There you go. This is called the fart on your tongue. How much about, Chris, how much more you think Taylor should be getting for brilliant idiots? If you had to be honest. God damn, Taylor, you shit out of luck. Somebody can ask me. Ask me.

Ask me. Ask me. You know, Sherman. Yes. How much money, how much of a raise is you? that we should get in Taylor. The stress level that comes with y'all. Let me see.

As of January 17, 235, the U.S. national debt has reached approximately 36.2 trillion. We don't got it, Taylor. Yo, we're down 36 trillion. We're down 36. Can you all right? Can you fuck we don't give you money

but we down 36 trillion? Taylor, we're down 36.2 trillion. You guys didn't even see what I just said. That's a very early. What? I'm about to have a child. What's about to have a child? I'm pregnant and with child.

You tried everything. this podcast. You tried everything this podcast. She's lying. She's lying. And guess, Andrew. Andrew, one took me one time too. She's trying everything in this podcast. She played all the cards. She played black women card. She played broke employee card.

Okay. Don't fall for this. I'll be honest with you. Don't fall for this. You're fired. Taylor's not pregnant. We can't have a pregnant woman sitting over there. He's not pregnant.

She's not going to have a right mind. Stop it. Yo, you got to stop it, yo. Teller, you got to stop it. Hey, no way. I mean, if you are, are you really or no? No, for a. No, for a.

Stop lying. I'm serious. This shit says Taylor Hayes 516, 1991. That's your birthday. Yes. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't believe it. Yes.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I don't believe it. Who would do such a thing? Wait, this is a beautiful way, if you're not. I'm not. I am not. I am not. Chris, can you please confirm for you.

Call your mommy. Did your mama know? This is December 4th, Call Ms. Gwynne right now. This is December 4th. I'll call Ms. Gwynn right now. This December 4th. Call Ms. Gwynn right now.

So wait, you're three months pregnant right now? I'm four months. Wow. You've been calling her fat for three months. Shut the fuck up. When she was pregnant. I'll call my mom right now. Telling nothing about you look pregnant.

I'm going to call my mom right now. Taylor, get the fuck out of here. You are not pregnant. Cut it the fuck out. You don't really start showing until four months. Ah. Taylor, that's so exciting. I'm not believe

You, Taylor, break this shit Are you really pregnant? Don't fall for his shit. Don't fall for his shit. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm so happy for you.

Taylor, you don't have to do all this to get a raise. Taylor, you don't have to do all of this to get a raise. I don't believe you. Yes. I don't believe you. Oh, that's so fun. See what happens when you lie, Chris? You're trying to upstage Trump one.

his date. Yes. You're trying to upstage Trump on his date. Yeah, you should have waited a week. Chris put you up to this. You should have waited a week.

Chris put you up to this. You should have waited a week. Chris told you to do this. I'm going to tell you on Valentine's Day, but, Dad, dad, I need you to confirm something with me.

Yeah. Am I pregnant? Dad, I'm on the podcast. It's not time to joke. No, tell the truth, Mr. Hayes, please. That's what you said. Nobody believes you.

Nobody believes you. I'm with you, Mr. Hayes. Wait, hold on, wait, hold on. My mom's calling because you want to play games. I'm with you, Mr. Hayes. I don't believe her. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Hold on.

Hold on. Nope. So you're four months pregnant right now. Yeah. Who else knows about this? Cost him. Well, she's not going to say nothing. She's going to be like, I don't know what you're talking about.

Let's see if they sell you out. Don't say nothing. Don't say nothing. I'm not even going to tell her on the pod. He's not going to say it. Let's see if she sell you out. Let's see if she sell you out. Did you know, Chris?

Hello. Sima. Hey. I'm asking you a question. Off the record. Okay. Is Taylor pregnant? Why?

The fuck you mean. Why? I'm asking a question. Her stomach getting big and shit. And I was just like, I didn't want to know if I want to say something about her working out. I don't want to be the asshole to be like, yo, you need to start working out more. Because she big as a motherfucker. Well, I don't know.

you ask her that? Why would you call me and ask that question? Ask what question if Taylor's fat? What you mean? What question am I asking that's wrong? So what is it? Just tell me. Huh? It's not a wrong question. It's just a personal question that I don't have the answer to. She's eating like a motherfucker

and I don't know if I should say something. I saw her earlier and I was just like, God damn. And I wanted to say something. Yes, and she was just eating like a motherfucker big issue and I wanted to say something But I'm like, I said, you don't think I should say nothing. Well, you know how I am. I already told you I learned my lesson about people's way. Hold on.

Is she pregnant or not, Sam? Just answer the question. No. She hasn't given me any information, so I can't tell you. Your glasses are fogging up right fucking now. I can tell that you're lying. I'm going to find out. Well, you're going to have to find out from someone else because I don't know.

If you care so much, ask her. And what you always... Well, what if she's not? You're literally always weight shaming us, so what's the difference? What do you mean? I've never weight shamed, y'all. Now then. Okay, bye. She said I'm always weight shaming.

He's about to text me and be like, yo. I'm like going to say this. Who else knows? Chris said he knew the whole time. Chris, you knew? Yeah, I told him. Why did you tell him? What the fuck?

I thought you're close to us. That's so exciting. Thank you. It's not. You don't know if this is true. I don't believe this. I don't believe this. What's your why?

I just don't believe it. Why? I find out this weekend. You're five months pregnant Taylor. Four. Four. Fifteen weeks. Hold on.

Oh, I'm so happy. So the babies do win. When does the baby do it? In July. He's going to be a cancer? Yes. I still don't believe it. Still don't believe you.

And I have a good support system. Who? This man, we don't even know. So now I'm really about. to put pressure on this guy. So this guy that we don't even know that none of us had met. How do we know he's a good support system?

You met, you never met him? Have I met him? No. Why the fuck haven't we met him? Yeah, bring him around. No. Why haven't I met him? Why do you want to?

Especially now. Okay. Who is this poor decision maker? We need to talk to him. Oh my God. Who is this man? Right. I don't believe Taylor,

but I need. to talk to a doctor. Call. Okay. Everybody, your daddy said. Call dolly. There's no way. Dolly knows and didn't tell you.

Hello. We're on the podcast. You're on the podcast. We're on the podcast. I'm calling you on the podcast. I'm asking you a simple question. Remember last week? Okay.

Remember last week when you said Taylor getting big as shit? What? Remember when you said that? You was like, damn, Taylor getting biggest shit. No, I never said that. You know why you said that. But you didn't tell me why you said that. But that's not what you.

I said. What did you say? Not that. What did you say? I said you need to call and check in on Taylor. Why do I need to call and check in on Taylor, Naila? Because you should call and check in on your people, Sharmes. Why?

I see Taylor every day. And I said, if there was a problem, Taylor would have told me. And you would have told me, and you would like, you should probably call in a check in a check in. should probably call in a check on her. And I'm like, for what? Which I didn't, by the way,

That's not enough for you? It was a pie in an oven. So what you want, you want her to just bring you the baby and then you believe it? Yes. I will believe it when somebody shows me Taylor in a delivery room pushing and screaming. I'm so excited for Tate Day, man. It's exciting. Bye.

Why did you take out? So Dolly knew too. Yo, everybody knew but you. And I didn't want to say it until now. And Nila was like, you should call Taylor and check in on her. And I'm like, I know what Taylor's upset about. Taylor wants to raise. That would make sense.

No, she should get a raise regardless. Nah. That wasn't. They didn't make it seem like, they didn't give me a reason to check in. Like, nobody even hinted at it. I wouldn't have guessed this in a million years. Taylor Hayes is pregnant. You've been pregnant this whole time.

You've been acting a little pregnant, I ain't gonna lie. Arguing with us with no goddamn, picking face with us with no goddamn reason. You said I was calm last week. And the inauguration when it's your hormones. Yeah. You said I was calm last. You did have a hormonal moment just right now. I am happy.

You did. Also when she was eating the fucking cheddar cheese fries. What? You were having a craving. What are you talking about what I was doing? We were doing an episode and out of nowhere you just busted out a huge bag of cheddar cheese fries. No, I didn't. You did.

You did. You did. I did. That was death. I should have known right there. You busted them out. What fried? What cheddar cheese fries? Cheddar cheese fries. Chequers. No, I don't even eat checkers. Something cheddar cheese fries. Are you happy for me, Sharla?

I don't know if you're telling me the truth. Oh, why would I just, how, when have you ever learned me to lie about that? What? That's all you do. No. By what? Lied about what? Being pregnant? Yes. I mean, I don't lie about that. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I feel like you're getting prank like a motherfucker right now. I feel like this is finally like, oh, I think we got them. I think they're all around like, oh, I think we got them.

We finally got them. Something ain't right about this one. Your daddy hesitated too much. Your daddy said, that's what you say. Why doesn't he believe? So what was the plan? So what was the plan? But they're like, all right, Taylor, you're going to just gain 20 pounds out of nowhere.

We're all going to pretend you're pregnant. And then we'll be like, no or not. Got you, Charlotte. And now she's just stuck 20 pounds heavier? Yes. That's what I think happened. Because you don't look pregnant. Thank you.

No, you look a little pregnant. No, you don't. I've seen you look pregnant in the past here. You don't look like that. Oh, my God. No, what? I didn't mean it like that. You don't look pregnant now is what I'm saying.

You actually look like we've lost a lot of weight. No, no, no. And I said this to her before a couple months ago, and she was like, yeah, I'm working now, blah, blah, this and that. No, you look. I think you have a little bump. I think you have a bump without a doubt. Yeah. Four months pregnant, you got a bump.

Before you had a bump, but this is more like... I don't believe it. This is like... Let's call it an episode. We got some behind the scenes conversations to have because I don't believe it is. I don't believe any of this. Guys, we love you. We appreciate you.

As always, if you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right. If you think we're just a couple idiots that don't know shit, you're right to. I would encourage everyone to not hit Taylor telling her congratulations just yet. Okay, the jury still out? We don't know if this is true. But as soon as I confirm that this is true, I'll let you guys know. It's on.

It's the brilliant of this podcast. Thank you for listening. Peace.
