The Brilliant Idiots - Paranormal Permeation

Episode Date: January 16, 2026

In this episode of The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz kick things off by talking real life — from engagements and new babies to the pressures of parenthood and maintaining friendships as life gets bigger. From there, the conversation jumps all over the place in true Brilliant Idiots fashion, blending humor, honesty, and sharp cultural commentary. The guys dive into the state of society, the impact of social media on public opinion, and what role comedians actually play in today’s political and media landscape. They break down why “bad guys” are sometimes necessary in storytelling, why challenging the status quo matters, and how surrounding yourself with yes-men can be dangerous — especially in celebrity culture. Along the way, they touch on major figures like Jay-Z and discuss how influence and authenticity shape public perception. Things stay light with plenty of jokes, wild personal stories, and hilarious takes on the absurdity of modern life. The episode also explores the evolution of podcasts and media, the importance of diverse voices, and why comedy is still one of the best tools for talking about serious issues. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Because they was getting all that milk for free. Taylor Gang is engaged. Shout out to pee, man.

making her a host woman. It's all because of me. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean, you put the pressure? Well, first of all, I introduced her in P. No, you did not. That's number one. And then also, you know, right, like, I think maybe the episode before the last episode of the year, you know, I was putting pressure on P to, you know, proposed to Taylor. Remember when I was shaming her, you know, not shaming her, but just thinking that it would never happen. Right. And he did it.

No. My God. My God. Yeah, Pee. Yeah, Pee. How you feel, Taylor? You are ridiculous. Mother Taylor was ridiculous. Fiance Taylor? I can't even deal. I can't. The way she shames all of them. Oh, really?

No, I don't. And it's subtle, it's subtle flex. It's subtle. It's subtle flexed. She just come in smiling like an African, like. They're smiling for no reason. Okay. Oh, it's disgusting.

So we're happy for you. Thank you. Bravo, Taylor. Hezekiel. Yeah. And then there were four. And then there were four. And then there were four.

That's right. Congratulations. Right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Congratulations. It's a boy, right?

Boy, yeah. Now you and Chris are only ones that don't. God, boys. Damn. Y'all picked, y'all picked it though, right? No. Really? Yeah.

Oh. We did IVF. We did IVF in a second time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, we've never picked. Man. Yeah. What's his name?

Lincoln. Lincoln. Lincoln. Lincoln. Lincoln Lawrence, Lawrence Shultz. Luther Lincoln Lawrence Shultz, man. He needs a special. You can't have one sibling with a special.

The life part, too. You got to get Lincoln a special. Lincoln needs a special, man. We're going to see. We're going to see. Come on, man. Imagine the arguments when they get old. I got a special.

Daddy loves me more. Daddy loves me more. I'm actually special. You're not. You got to create a special. Link, I'm sorry. I don't think it's happening. How does it feel, though?

Dude, it's I mean, it's awesome. You know, nobody gives a fuck about your second kid. That's not true. No, no, nobody cares about the second. I don't even know if Alex congratulated me just yet. I think, I think he commented in the group chat, maybe.

I think he, like, hearted a picture or something. Yeah, yeah. Nobody's as excited as your... Nobody did not happen. But I'm not bitter about it. But, no, nobody cares about your second kid. But it is amazing. It is incredible.

And it's fucking terrible. terrifying every single time. You know what it is? You know, so funny, that's interesting you say that because probably with the first one, people doubted it could ever happen. Oh, people were very excited, given what they knew about the journey.

Exactly. And, like, how fucking stressed I was, and how stressed my wife was. So I think that there was, like, a sigh of relief, not just for us, but, like, all of our friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then... But you wore it well, though.

You wore the first one very well. Like, I mean, it didn't see... You didn't seem stressed him. Oh, I couldn't breathe. Yeah, but you didn't do it publicly, is what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. I mean, what happened in the episodes, I would do the, I would like yawn a lot and people thought I was tired, but I was just drained.

No, I literally couldn't breathe. So your body has this like weird reaction where in order to get enough oxygen, it, like, it's called an anxiety-induced asphyxiation or something like that. You couldn't breathe because of the anxiety of just stress? Okay, got you. It was just like this weird shit. Anyway, but number two is sick and I'm very grateful. This time, too?

No, actually. Yeah, like, and then when you go in, then you think it's going to be like an easy C-section birth, then it's just fucking terrifying once again. Right. But you have his son now, so why don't know it's so cool? What pressure he has? No, I'm teasing.

People are very sweet and people reached out in there said amazing things and it was awesome. What pressure he has, he got to be funny. You know what I'm saying? Like, for real, brus. Does he know? Does he? Yes.

Yeah, I guess. I don't make him funny. Regardless of what, you don't got to be a comedian. It's funny. He does what he does. He got to be funny. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's true. But it is funny having a boy, like, I'm immediately far more inappropriate around him than

I am my daughter. Like, I'm very protective around my daughter. I don't make any, like, inappropriate jokes or if I do, it's like very subtle. But with him immediately, his jokes coming out. But you know what's going to happen? She's going to be the inappropriate one. Who? Of daughter.

Absolutely. 100%. The son's going to be woke. 100%. No, 100%. Because that's how he's going to rebel. And she's going to rebel against 100%. That's what I do.

He's going to be the woke one, man. Congratulations, though, man. Thank you, man. More life. Life is beautiful. It's beautiful. It is awesome. It is awesome.

What you do for the holidays? Anything fun? I just had a baby. Yeah, just hung out. Yeah, you couldn't even move. The baby came out January 3rd, man. So we were all, like, you know, cooped up until then. So now my wife is...

Was that the due date? January 3rd is when you, like, schedule it if you're going to do a C-section as everything goes well. And then, yes, we went out. Oh, Lincoln got too much pressure. And he got a birthday right after the holiday. I know. Like, nobody's going to care about his birthday.

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, people already broke and exhausted. You see what I'm saying? Oh, my God. He's going to build up. He's going to be a tough kid, you know?

I was in Cape Town. Oh, yeah, you went to white Africa. I went to Cape Africa. Like, why did you decide to go to white Africa? I just, people, you got a whole continent of not white people and you went to the white people. No, when I went to Joe. Johannesburg, everybody was telling you

get $200 million from, you know, big deal, all of a sudden you want to hang out with white people. I don't know what I get it. But when I get it, when I was going to Ghana with $200 million. I love Ghana. Ghana was great. Yeah, that was before the 200 million. But when I went to Joe... After 200 million, you're like, I don't know what you're talking about. When I went to Johannesburg, everybody was like, yo, you got to go to Cape Town.

And then when I went to Cape Town and Cape Town... Too rich. Rich being Joeberg. But it's not as white as people say it is. But it's whiter than Africa. I mean, it's just, you know what it is mad colors? That's what they call them. Anybody that's not white is. the color. So it's a lot of colors.

Got it. But then it was white people too, but, you know, it was interesting. White people was walking up to me saying, you tell them there's no genocide happening here to us. And by the way, I forgot what the hell. What the hell they were even killed the Boa. That's what the leader was saying, right? I have no idea. A boy is like the former or whatever. It took me two seconds. It took me like 30 seconds to realize what the fuck. White people getting out of Africa, man. They're getting out of South Africa. They're fleeing, bro. They were there. No, they weren't, though. That's what they were

trying to tell me to say, though. They were saying to me, you tell them it's no genocide happening here. It's beautiful. By the way, Cape Town looks like Malibu. Right. Like, literally, like, there's a whole stretch where you can drive to go see the penguins that look like the Pacific Coast Highway. Yeah. They got dispensaries in Africa, bro. Mike Tyson has a dispensary in Africa. You know the Tyson bite edibles and all of that shit like that? Like, he has a whole dispensary in Cape Town. It's beautiful. You go in there get a fucking T. Slussey, sit down in the fucking lounge, watch all the old fights. They show all his old fights on video.

And then they start showing all the old heavyweight fights, people in there smoking, having a good time. I'm like, yo, Tyson don't even have this in America. They said, you got one in Cape Town and one in Amsterdam. Yeah. Listen, script clubs in Cape Town, food is amazing. Like, I thoroughly enjoyed myself when I was there. But tell us about that deal, though.

A deal, man. Tell us about that deal, though. What deal? What deal? I was subscribing to your YouTube channel. I still want them to subscribe to my YouTube channel. I was subscribing because I wanted to support you. And then literally the next day, news breaks of, like, NBA player contract.

I don't know what you're talking about. Listen. I did. I did resign without a heart. I did. You did resign without a heart. Absolutely. And there's a number that's out there that is just preposterous.

I don't know nothing about that. Okay. Well, who said the number? I honestly thought you rejected the deal and went back to Africa. That's, I thought you did some Chappelle shit. I thought you were like, I can't handle it anymore. I'm going back to Africa. Life is not about numbers.

I hear you. I hear you. Life is about, life is about opportunity. What is life about? Life is about. Life is about if what you build only benefits you, it's not big enough. Okay, that's what life is about. Okay, we are, you know, building the Black Effect Podcast Network.

We've been around for five years. We are, you know, building things like SBAH productions. We are building things like Black Frivolish Publishing. We're just building, man. You know what I'm saying? We're just building, just building, just building. I will say, though, I've watched two weeks of very bad takes about that situation you're talking about. What situation?

You know, that situation you keep mentioning. I don't know what you're referring to. Yeah, you know, this situation y'all keep mentioning. You flinged to Africa? No, man, the thing. Why do people say you went to Africa for another reason? Tell me about this Africa. Isn't that what Chappelle did?

Chappelle bounced. Well, he didn't take it. He bounced for way less. Yeah, he didn't take it, though. He didn't get $200. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. Listen, inflation is crazy.

Hey, don't know what you're talking about. 200? What I'm saying. You were to stay. No, but. 200, you would have figured a way out for 200. I thought that's what you were supposed to do, though.

Listen, I thought you were, I thought you were going to help out. I thought you were building wells, bro. That's what I thought. I thought you got the 200. You're like, I need to get. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just saying, that's why I thought you went back. I did say I really did see two weeks to just back.

takes, man. People just talking about things, they have no knowledge. What would they say? It's ridiculous stuff. I will say this. This is going to upset some people. Okay. Okay. Just need people to know. The Breakfast Club Netflix situation? Yeah. There's a whole other situation than me resigning. That's not included in the IHeart deal? Why would it be? Like, I don't even know why people even conflated those two things. That makes no sense. You just rubbing salt. But that didn't make that.

When y'all hear that, that didn't, I'm like, nobody stopped to say, this makes no sense. You're rubbing salt. We, we, we, the, the Breakfast Club Netflix deal was announced on, like, what, a Monday or Tuesday. And it was a total different announcement on Friday when, for, salute to Forbes, spooked to my guy, Jabari, Jabari did a fantastic write up, you know, just about, you know, all of the different things that I'm building. And it was interesting for him to, you know, write that, uh, the angle he took as me as, as like this, you know, superhero in the media space

because I also got a salute variety because Variety did that at the top of the year. Right. Variety did, I was on the cover of Variety and it said Charlemagne Incorporated and they highlighted, you know, all of the various business ventures that I have going on.

And then Jabari just did it at the end of the year. So I just, you know, I appreciate that. Right. That was dope. You know what I'm saying? That is cool. That is cool. Yeah.

But I don't know why people would think the two deals are together. Like that makes no sense. Basically saying stop lowballing him is what he'd say. Oh, wow. That's what he said. I didn't say it. Wow.

I did not say that. All I simply said was the breakfast club and Netflix deal is a completely different situation than me resigning with I heart. Man. Like, I don't know what the, I don't know. Listen, man. God is good. I don't know what to tell you. Yes, we getting to raise, guys.

Shit, I want to raise. Well, no. Well, no, no, no. Brewing idiots is separate from all of them. Like, idiots, though, am I lying? Brilliant idiot is a separate venture from all of those. Am I lying? I'm not making this up, man.

I'm not, am I making this up, Andrew? Andrew. Am I make, Chris, am I making this up? Burying Nies is a separate, it's always been a separate entity. It's always been a separate entity. That's true. That's true. That's why he's not lying.

It's just such a, it's, man is not lying. We've always been a separate entity. Bernie is his loudspeaker, and we've been. over here doing what we do for the last 13 years. That's nothing to do with any of those things. I'm not thinking tired of DBI. When can white people make a $200 million deal, bro? Y'all, y'all originated it.

I'm just joking. I'm learning from y'all. But I don't know about that number you're talking about. You know what I'm saying? But that has been the boss. The Bill Simmons of the world, you know, the Joe Rogans of the world, Alice Cooper caller, daddy. I'm very proud of it.

They originated that. Proud of what? I'm happy to respond. Are we all going to be able to go on vacation together then? My mother told me. Yeah. Tell me. To just be happy you're making a living.

And that's how I've always lived my life. Just be happy that I'm making a living. But you have, what you mean? Vacation together. We've been doing that for the last decade. You just choose not to come. No, you've never invited me. That's not true.

That's completely true. By the way, I don't invite nobody. Everybody invites their self. And I'm not one of those people. I'm not going to be like, hey, I'm about to come. Why couldn't you do that? Because my mom taught me not to do that. Oh, that's what everybody owes them, literally.

People hit me say, people hear me mention Anguilla. Those mouths don't get fed. That's what I'm saying. Like, you think he would have got a $275 million deal with anything to ask for it? I don't know what he's talking about. Do you think he would have got that? You think that he would have paid $350 million? If he didn't ask for that the contract.

No, what he's talking about. You think this guy would have got a $400 million Netflix contract? God is good, man. Shout out the Netflix, man. Which guy you believe in, bro? Jehovah! Well, he won't. believe in presence. Jehovah. Jehovah, Allah. I just believe in God. I will say this. So shout

out to Netflix. We start on Netflix January 26. Yeah. Breakfast. Breakfast on thoughts on Netflix January 26. Also, that's a lot of bad information that's going around. People are just having these conversations online talking about we're not going to be on YouTube anymore. We're not going to be on social media. This is what I want y'all to do in 2006. Please, shut the fuck up. Ooh. Okay? Just, how about start asking more questions as opposed to just getting on your platforms and saying things that you have no knowledge of just for engagement? Because all you're doing is spreading a whole bunch of bad information.

And I thought about coming in here and like, you know, having a conversation about it, but for what? Have a conversation about what? Just explain the people, the stupid stuff that they be saying and they're wrong. But it's like, why? Does it matter? Let me tell you something. Now, now, now, now, now, if you ask, like, Shultz asked me, because Shultz my guy.

So Shultz asked me questions. Like, we talk behind the scenes. You asked me about certain deals. And I tell you, because you're my guy. You said it was $200 million. I didn't say that. I never said that. That's what you said behind the scenes.

I never said anything. That's what you said behind the scenes. I never said. But, I mean, listen, how much. How much is much? That don't even mean any. Like, what do we, it's not? People just throw, it.

It's just numbers. Like, it's not about that, man. It's about being able to provide opportunity for everyone. That's what I like. That's what I'm here for. I like to throw more assists in score points. I'm surprised nobody kidnapped you in Africa, man. Africa's really, man.

People are bawling in Africa. I'm not saying they're not bowling, but they can get kidnapped. No, people are balling. Everybody in Africa look like that Drusky mega-past's skit. Oh, really? Like, everybody's driving something big. Oh, my God. Driving luxury cars.

Like, Africa is amazing. Cape Town is amazing. And you're already bawling in Africa because, like, the dollar compared to the Iran is like... And how many dollars do you have? I don't know what you're talking about. Hey, Taylor, how much you think he got? Was he walking different? Was he walking different in our heart or what?

I'm a simple man. I live a simple life. Was he walking through those halls differently? What was he walking through those halls like? That's what I got to say. Are people being nicer to him now? People will love nicer, right? I'm a nice person, so I get back what I put out.

That's a good point. I've always supported you. I've always thought you're a great guy, bro. It's my guy. You're a fucking great guy. People don't want Andrew to be my guy. Why not? I do interviews and they just asking me questions about it.

I'm like, what the fuck? Oh, no. I don't know. And listen, man, there's a narrative. I'm just a father of two, man. I'm just a father too trying to make it out here. It is crazy, though, though. It's like, like, you know, like we've been doing brilliant idiots for the last 13 years,

and now all of a sudden they're just trying to flip narratives. Why are they trying to do? I did the poor minds podcast, and they asked me how do I feel? And I guess you make certain comments that are racially sensitive. And I was like, yo, it's none of my business. You know why? Because I wasn't even just thinking black in that moment. How do you continue y'all's relationship but still trying to, like, educate him,

but not cross the line? Like, how do you maneuver that? Not my business. Yeah. You know? And the reason I say it's not my business is because it's the same when I got shit going on. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like, people like to come to me about things Andrews said. Andrew's a grown-ass man with his own opinions, right? Like, I don't have nothing to do with that. Like, you get on brilliant ideas. We have our discussions. We have our debates. We've been doing that for 13 years. You keep it moving.

Plus, man, this politics thing is fleeting. Yeah. Right. Like, you know, 2016, we went through that. You know, that's when they was calling them all right, Andy. Yeah. 2020 came, Biden was in office. In 2024, he's back.

He chose to support Trump. Listen, everybody got the right to be wrong. You know what I mean? Because at the end of the day, when you make a decision, right, that person that you voted for, if that person doesn't follow through, you still voted for that person. Yeah. If you're wrong and he takes the country this shit, then you got to eat that. Yeah.

You know? To me, that's like, that stuff is fleeting, man. Yeah. You know? Sometimes I'd be feeling like, I don't know if I could. it'd be hard. Like if I felt like Drea said something publicly crazy, now in the public, we ain't going to.

I'm not going to get into her about it, but I feel like we would have to have a conversation behind those doors. Yeah, me and Shultz definitely have a lot of conversations. Like I said, some of them we bring to the podcast, some of them we don't. But like you said, Drea are your people. Yeah, right? And can't nobody tell you about Drea? Right.

It's like, can't nobody tell Drea about Lex. Because we know each other. You all know each other. It's like when I see people say stuff on social media, You know, I'd be on interviews and people bring up shows. I'm like, y'all don't know him. Like, y'all know a perception of him or y'all know a moment that y'all saw. I know the man for 13 years.

I know his mom. Yeah. He knows his brother. Like, I know his family. He knows my family. He was at my wedding. Like, I was at his wedding. Like, it's just like, this is somebody I actually know.

So you can't tell me about somebody I know. What was the comment? You offended 20,000 different races. You know who you're. No, I'm consistent. You are very consistent. You know who Andrew set off first that I thought was hilarious when nobody ever talks about it?

The Asians. No, no, no, no. But when you did the Shoots Save's America special, there was something you said on there. I called it the Kung Flu. That's a bar, bro. I just remember the Asians were so much. They were upset because in the Shultz's American,

I said it started in China. It did, though. I've been proven. I got canceled to where that super term is. First thing is started in China. And nobody apologized for me for canceling me for being right. You don't apologize. Nobody apologize.

I do wish, though, that on the poor minds I would have. I liked my answer, but there was something I wanted to add to this. I wasn't able to do a show in one of these venues in one of these venues in one of these venues in one of these venues. And Wuhan? No, no, no. No, in Canada, they're like, he said insensitive shit. This is post-COVID. He was like he said insensitive shit to Asians or COVID.

And the insensitive shit was it started in China. But they're not looking at the fact that it was real. Isn't that kind of funny that the only thing that sticks is you said something insensitive, even though it ended up being accurate? Nobody cares. But, you know, salute to headcrack. I saw Headcrack him and Claudia Jordan. They got a show, and he gave it taking.

What he said is what I wish I would have added to it because I got a lead with that. What's that? At the end of the day and at the beginning of the day, actually. You're a comedian. Yeah. And comedy is weird. Like, comedy is such a weird thing because things that people say on stage isn't always truly how they feel in the real world.

You know, you have to be like an all-caps version of yourself saying the outrageous things that's going to make people's bell ring. And one thing I've noticed about Andrew Schultz's comedy is like everybody's eligible for the smoke. Like he gives it to everybody. A lot of comedians give it to everybody. And people sometimes only get mad when they're offended. because now the gun is turned on you.

Meanwhile, you was just laughing at that crippled people joke a little while ago. And now you mad because they want to roll up on you. Like, at the end of the day, I feel like comedy should be a safe house where you can go in there and say the thing and not be canceled because the thing you said, unless you're truly a racist. Comedians should be allowed to say, and I'm not even going to say aloud. I'm not the right word. I'll say this. Comedians say offensive stuff. comedians say things that are insensitive,

that's what comedians do. Most great comedians are going to offend somebody. We just saw Dave Chappelle Special. I don't know if y'all watched it. I enjoyed it. There was people that were offended by Dave Chappelle Special. I have never seen a great, Jesus Christ, what, take that down?

I've never seen, I've never seen a, take, what is that? That is crazy. That is crazy. Dave Chappelle Special, well, up the Forbes cover. That's better. But I mean, that's not even about numbers. That's just about...

It's about greatness. It's about... Yes, man. It's a provided product of people. Why don't you pull up the Forbes cover, Allerton? You're going to put anything back here. This is nice. Yeah, put up the Forbes cover.

Put up the Forbes cover. But comedians saying sensitive things. Comedians say things that are offensive. That's what comedians do. You don't have to think it's funny. You don't. You can even criticize it. Yeah.

You know what I mean? You can do all of that. But moral of the story is, I'm not answering for Andrew. And also, Brilliant is we've been doing this podcast for 13 years. And this is why I say we do it for the fellow brilliant idiots. The people who actually listen to this show and they listen to this show and they've heard us debate. Yes.

They've heard us have conversations. Yes. They've heard us agree. They've heard us disagree. They've seen the gamut in the last 13 years. Yeah. I can't worry about the people who just popped up in the last couple of years, bro, and they run it with some narrative.

I think you said a good point, which is like people are allowed to be offended by jokes. Yes. Like, I don't think it's fair for a comedian. to go, you're not allowed to be offended. Like, people get to react to wherever they want to react to stuff. Yes. You know, the hope is that you would see, like, comedians trying to make you laugh

and doing something a little naughty and maybe something a little insensitive, kind of the way that we act with our friends. I don't think anybody's, like, the most appropriate when they're just hanging with their friends. So that's the hope. Yeah, it's so funny when we did, like even when we did the New York Times thing

before the holiday break, you know, I saw people saying, you know, why would they have a... You know, why would they... No, they said, they said, Charlaman and Shots are here and they're not taking anything serious, especially Shots. He's a comedian. That's why we're here.

So, but, but, but the, the, the, the, the, the honest conversation. We're also the only ones that, it's just coming through the vehicle of jokes. Well, yeah, but also, I think we're there because we're the only ones that kind of understood what was happening in the landscape of media. That's why we were there. And the conversation was about new media. So you need some new media to be there to kind of explain what's going on to legacy media.

Duh. Yeah. And what is legacy media trying to do? No distra. Like, don't invite me anywhere if you want me to be serious. CNN got a show with Roy Wood Jr., Amber Ruffin. Yeah. And it's another comedian on there as well.

My point is, they even understand that news is probably best digestible through comedy. Not saying that that should be always the lens through news. That you get your news, but that is a lens. But that is unfortunate that, like, everything has to be entertainment. You do wish that there was a thirst for news. The problem is that, like, news is boring. so people find more entertaining ways to share with people. The greatest political funding of the last 20 years in John Stewart.

Yes. Yes. He is a person. But he's not doing news. He is, though. He is, but what I would say is that I would say it's not news. I would say he does a comedy show and he happens to talk about politics. Yeah, it's comedy, but the content of it is politics, this news is what's going on.

But what's happened right now is that information is boring so everything has become infotainment. And when everything becomes infotainment, you gravitate towards the most entertaining thing. And that's not our fault. Yeah, well, I think a lot of times we get blamed for it. You know what I mean? Why? It's not our fault. All we do is come on this show, give our takes about the world. Yeah.

And news outlets take them and post them. I think when people are frustrated with what's happening, you know, they have to find. a somebody to blame for it or some idea to blame for it or trying to blame for it. I think that's a naturally human thing. I think I'm guilty of that thing. You're guilty of it. I think we're all fucking guilty of it. So I'm not putting ourselves on a fucking pedestal. I just think that's like the natural human reaction. So sometimes they might go, wow, Charlemagne or Schultz, you guys are so entertaining and you're entertaining these political ideas, but you're putting bad stuff out there in the world. And then we're just going, hey, we're just doing an entertainment show.

We're not doing a news show or political show. And I don't have an agenda. How about that? Maybe that's refreshing to people. Maybe it's refreshing to hear somebody who don't have an agenda who's just sitting down talking to people on both sides of the aisle just asking questions because I have an intellectual curiosity about what's going on. But that's why it's nice.

But do you have to understand there are certain people that look at, look through the life through the lens of if you don't have an agenda, you are being insensitive to their existence. Like there are certain people that go, there is only one agenda. and is the agenda that allows me to like live freely in America. And if you don't support that, someone's going to take away my rights. And I have, like, I have empathy for them too. I understand where they're coming from. Like, I might disagree on that that their rights would be stripped away.

But it's not like it hasn't happened. There hasn't been circumstances that happened. So like, that's why I go, you're allowed to be offended. I just wish that like we had a label on the, like, we literally put idiot in the title and it still doesn't work. But I wish that there was just like a fucking banner across every. everything that we did that was like, guys, this is only entertainment. I'm not going to say it's only entertainment, though. I think what you said about John Stewart is true.

I think we might be just entertaining regardless of what it is we choose to discuss. I think that's true. But like, yeah, I think that's true. I don't want to like undercut ourselves. But if I had to, if I had to lean in one direction, I would lean in the direction of entertainment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. than I would about, then I would straight information or politics.

Oh, 100%. I think politics crosses over to our field, which is really just culture. Politics is pop culture because... You know what? I started to say politics is pop culture because of the last couple of presidents, but the reality is,

I can't remember a time when it hasn't been pop culture. I'm old enough to remember when Bill Clinton was blowing the goddamn saxophone. And that was pop culture. Ronald Reagan was an actor who came from motherfucking Hollywood. George W. Bush,

was a caricature. Before Donald Trump, the most incompetent president who everybody used to make jokes about was George W. Bush. And then Obama came and was just the coolest guy around who was actually a really good politician. And he became pop culture. It's not my fault. GZ made a hot record. My president is black.

My lambos blue, and I'd be, God damn, if my rims ain't too. What? You're not supposed to ride to some shit like that. You know what I'm saying? So I think, but again, like if you're friends, frustrated with what's happening right now you have every right to you know express that frustration and you're going to point in the direction of the different things that you think have like aided and abetted it so for you for example if you're asking tough questions to a democratic

candidate and you're making them kind of like you look like they're not prepared some people will blame you instead of blaming that candidate for not being prepared you know and i which is ridiculous well it's it's actually ridiculous people are ridiculous you know It is, like, it's one thing to complain or cry about people. I'm not saying you complain or crying. But, like, people are who they are. That's what I've tried to accept. It's like, people are who they are.

I've accepted it. People go to people. I've accepted it. I truly am okay with everybody's opinion. Yeah. Everybody. Like, I want, my guy Cadillac Jack said it in a long time. I go to rule of ten.

Three people are going to like it. Three people are not going to like it. Four people are going to be on the fence about it. Do your thing. Do your thing. I like, I like it all. I actually am entertained by. I'll go on YouTube and just go down a rabbit hole of bad opinions.

But you know the difference between me and a lot of other people? What's that? None of those opinions can affect me. None of those opinions can sway me. Because what I hear and I'm really, I'm like, that's just wrong. That's just bad information. Like, that's just not accurate. And I just keep it moving.

So to that point, I'm just entertained. Remember on that scene and Training Day when Denzel's character is in the store and he's trying to read his paper and Hoyt's trying to talk to him? And he looks up and he goes, you see this? this is a newspaper. It's 90% bullshit, but it's entertaining. That's why I read it.

So since you won't let me read it, now you entertain me with your bullshit. That's what it is. So when I want to be entertained by some bullshit, I know exactly where to go at on YouTube. I think one of the good, because I look at all the criticisms and I try to take it in,

I try to be objective about it. And one thing that I heard that I thought was interesting was, like, should you be able to do, not be able to, this is America, we're free, we can do whatever we want,

but like, should there be entertaining interviews with people that are close to the levers of power? Right? So it's like, the style of interview that I think we've always done, at least,

you know, I'm flagrant or even brilliant, is entertainment based, right? Like, we bring you on and we want to have fun with you, like see who you are, et cetera. Now,

the question is if you have somebody, and I thought this was the best criticism, is like, if you have somebody that is that close to the levers of power, you have these politicians that can actually, like, make certain changes, do they deserve an entertaining video? Can they go on a Jimmy Fallon, for example? Can they, yes, yes, yes. And I agree with you. I personally see it that way. I think that they should be able to do entertaining videos and then interviews and then serious political, I don't want to label them as gotcha, but more like gotcha. Just regular traditional news. Yeah, hard-hitting, whatever.

I think that both of those things can't exist. I'm old enough to remember when... We saw Bill Clinton on Arsenio, yes. But that was a thing, right? It wasn't about whether or not... We saw them all on Jimmy Kimmel. We see them all in every late-night show. Yes, we see them, right?

Because it wasn't about a politician being able to handle 60 minutes. We know they can do that. We wanted to see them in a human form. Well, that's... That's what the late-night shows used to be for. I know, but I think that a narrative that you've seen right now, which is like... They don't deserve those kind of fun, entertaining interviews.

They should be only getting... the hard-hitting ones. And I think that that, oh, I think that narrative exists because obviously people are frustrated with, like, Trump being in power, right? But what I would say, if I was trying to, like, really see through their lens is, like, seeing someone be entertaining might be really nice, but they're really close to the levers of power that can drastically change people's lives. And I can see how that is scary for people who really don't like those people. While at the same time, I can see how it is, you know, euphoric if you really do like somebody.

So, for example, if you see your candidate look amazing in an entertaining interview with somebody, i.e. Bill Clinton on Arsenio, you're like, oh, shit, this guy's pretty fucking cool. I like him. Anyway, it was a criticism that I saw, and I was like, ooh, okay, that's... I like this conversation. I think that it is cool to have an entertaining interview if what you have done while you're in office warrants some laughter. Meaning, meaning, meaning if things are good.

You know what I'm saying? If things are good, then we can have a nice, lighthearted, funny conversation. There ever been a time, though, where half the country was... Yeah, what's the definition of good. Yeah, like, I think what happens is that half the country... Clinton in the 90s? Half the country hated him. They were impeached him, literally.

Because he got some head. Not because he got some head. And Clinton did everything the conservatives want. You know what I mean? That was the last time America had a surplus, right? Right? So the waste that people were talking about, Doge was supposed to cut.

Clinton actually did it in a successful way. Yeah. Like, I think that warrants some, you know, like, yo, you know what, salute to you, you got some head, and you've got the economy booming, bro. Like, come on. At that time, if I'm a late-night host, we're having a ball.

You got the economy booming, and you're a guy that we know got some head. People vote with their wallets. You're not wrong. Listen, you're not wrong. But I think to Chris's point, like still half the country is going to be incredibly frustrated

because they're not seeing. That's always going to be the case, though, right? Even outside of politics. Like, if you get on stage right now and make a joke, there might be half of the country that lasts and half of the country that's outraged. Go back to what I said about the rule of 10.

Three people are going to like it. Three people are not going to like it. Poor people don't even know what the fuck is going on. You can't please everybody. Who pleases everybody? I agree with you. I agree with you. To a certain extent.

I think sometimes jokes cut through. I think jokes, especially that aren't like politically targeted. Like obviously, anytime Trump is in office, like, everything is just so charged. Every moment is so charged. Oh, that's his fault. Yeah. I mean, like, that is the gravity that he brings to it. Like, people who don't care about politics all of a sudden get really invested because they see this shit.

And, yeah. I think because what is. He does, you can see the actual impact. Maybe because we're older now, so we see the impact of everything president's doing. When we were younger, we didn't see it. Me and Chris was having this conversation, and I know y'all don't like brilliant idiots to talk about politics, but guess what? We don't give a fuck. So listen, we and Chris talk about this, because I was telling Chris, I personally believe this.

We got collectively $200 million. I don't know what you're talking about. We got collectively $200 million. I don't you talking about. Brilliant idiots have been doing good for a long time, though. I'm just saying, brilliant news has been doing very well for the last 13 million. years. Thank you to all off a billion years. Listen to that. Listen. But I was telling Chris, in my lifetime, and Donald Trump still has three years, right? In my lifetime,

George W. Bush has been the worst president of him. If we look at it through rose-colored glasses now because Michelle Obama passes them candy at events. But George W. Bush was the worst president ever. Run down the list. Now, now if you're looking at actual like body stacked up because of decisions that he made, it's not even a question. Let's start. An election was stolen. An election was motherfucking stolen in 2000, right?

Then you go, you got the Iraq war. That was, that happened because of a lie. Weapons of math destruction. There wasn't a weapons of mass destruction. Went in there, took Saddam Hussein out, took over the oil. Hundreds of thousands of people killed trillions of dollars a spit.

My favorite, yeah, go on. That's my favorite. Who started the Forever wars. That's my favorite criticism when they're like, you guys weren't prepared to have a conversation with Trump. It's like I've literally read articles of you guys telling us to go to war in Iraq. Do you know what I mean? Like media outlets that are critical of having Trump on a podcast

were the same media outlets telling us their weapons of mass destruction. They put the entire media platform into getting us into a war where a million fucking people died. Hundreds of thousands of people died. Chillions of dollars spent. Then we talk about the Forever Wars. Afghanistan, right? Yeah. That was Bush.

Hurricane Katrina. Yeah. That made Kanye stand up and say, George Bush don't care about black people. You talk about incompetence. The fact that they were telling him that there was intelligence that said 9-11 could happen, but he ignored it.

And then when 9-11 actually happened, they catch him in the fucking daycare reading the kids and the book is upside down. Yeah, legit daycare. You're talking about, you're talking about collapsing in economy. Think about all the housing crisis. Think about all the jobs that were lost. We were in a motherfucking recession for real, for real back when George W. Bush was in office.

These are good, these are good fair points. George W. Bush was so terrible and cover your ears, Schultz and Chris, that America elected a nigger. That's how terrible George W. Bush was as a president. But because Michelle Obama passes them candy at a fence. All right? We forget all of those things. But this is what happens, I feel like, with president. Ice was created under Bush.

Yeah. I mean, like... Ice was created in 2003. Yeah. I don't think that the creation of ICE is the issue. I think it's the implementation. How they are doing it. Yeah, yeah.

But, but, but... You can have it. I sent you this article, Chris. I think up until this year, the most ever deaths in ICE custody was under Bush. Wow. Let me look that up. I'm saying.

I think the difference is Donald Trump is threatening institutions in democracy like we've ever seen. Yeah, I feel like this thing could collapse pretty quickly. And as much as, you know, I went and protested against Bush when he was elected.

I went to D.C. and I marched. I was, you know, not happy with his presidency. I didn't feel like this whole thing might fall apart. And that's how it feels. That's the difference. I mean, Donald Trump is threatening

institutions and democracies in ways that nobody ever has. Yeah. That's a fair. And I think I think that the frustration, like, I also think, Chris, at that time, there was a lot more top-down control of the information that the average person was getting. Oh, for sure. Yeah. And, like, as we know now, the media, you know, the media complex was complicit in pushing this propaganda,

right? It's like, a war on terror, whatever the fuck that they were making us that guess. Well, maybe the time specifically, if that's what you're referring to. I mean, that's probably the base, because they advocated for it. That's what I'm saying, is that they were, they were supported. And I imagine there's some top down pressure on them to advocate for it. Right. So like, whereas now, you know, with the decentralization of information and news, like everybody's putting a video up and they're saying this, that, the other. We don't know what the hell to think. And I think that it's, one, it's terrifying, but it's also very frustrating. You don't know what's real. I don't know a video I watch. I don't know if it's real or not. It's a perfect storm right now.

Yeah. And unfortunately, Trump is the worst person to be in this position at this moment. Like, you can be critical, but like, ultimately, I think everyone loves America. This thing has been largely working. Yes. I mean, even with it, even with faults. Yeah, you wanted to keep working with adjustments and twists and corrections. Not huge swing. And now it feels like that's the difference.

The system is going to clash. Yes, Donald Trump is. That's the scary thing. And I, and I, yes, sir. Was ICE's deadliest year in two decades. Wow. Who was the president in 2005? So he was responsible for the deadliest year with ICE two decades ago.

Right. That's all, imagine we had social media during the Bush era. Well, that's what I'm saying is that things would have been very different. You know, and like, I think social media amplifies everything because the most salacious thing wins. So you're going to have the most salacious thing on your phone all day, every day, and it's going to induce that anxiety. And I'm sure the thing that you felt during Bush, if you are scrolling social media now, you probably feel it tenfold.

And that's what made me start looking that up, right? I thought... Imagine we were getting that during Bush. Like, imagine we were getting these numbers of these numbers of these. these people dying and then soldiers coming back and doing interviews and being like, what the fuck are we doing here? We don't even know what's going on. There's no weapons of mass.

Imagine if we felt that gaslit, that lied to. And we were digesting that information on massive platforms while the media was propagandizing us in a different direction. Imagine the frustration we would feel then. That's what made me even look into it, right? Because I was thinking. The media started to cut you. The media can't even really lie that well now.

Like they try to, they try to push certain things. No, they can't. I mean, no. But then they get checked and they have to, they have to like, I guess, fall back. It's not even immediate, though. It's like elected officials, right? Meaning back in the day, Bush could say there's weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and get away with it. Elected officials are held accountable now. We know what you voted on. And we got eyes.

Yeah. What's the role of a comedy in this equation, right? Because if you think about that, when you say lying about weapons of mass destruction with Bush, I immediately flashed a Chappelle on the yellow cake, right? What was the yellow cake skit? I forgot. When he holds the whole fake press conference and most definitely... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, oil, what oil?

You know, and he clears the table off. Yeah. The motherfucker bought some yellow cake today in Africa. He went to Africa and he bought yellow cake. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure, bitch. I got to have the CIA right here. He'll tell you.

What you are? Are you sure? Are you sure? I can't believe you, motherfucker. What are you? Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Me and Jeb just coming back from Africa, cradle of fucking similar things.

And this shit out here buying yellow cake. From the motherland. Are you sure it was yellow cake? Y'all niggins don't believe me. I got some yellow cake right here. Look, you see, you can believe this shit now? Don't drop that shit. I don't know I know what to do with it.

So I got it wrapped up in this special CIA knacking. Don't drop that shit. Yeah. Hold on drop this shit. Pray to God you don't drop that shit. Yellow cake. I'm fucking right. That's a way that's the thing.

the comedy cuts through to what's actually happening. Absolutely. Makes commentary on it, but it's also entertaining. It brings attention and awareness to it because, you know, you see that sketch and even if you don't know

what he's talking about, you may want to know so you go do a little bit more research. So even if the Times are saying, no, we have to do it. And these are all the geopolitical reasons we have to go in. Chappelle was able to bullshit.

That's right. Send it up. There's a value, I think, especially like during that time where maybe it was more censorious or maybe there was just less information out there. And that's, I think, where, like, comedy or even, like, edgy or inappropriate jokes kind of thrives because it allows you to tell, not the truth, but at least, like, the emotional

sentiment of the time. And I think what's happened now is, largely, I think, because of Elon allowing you to say whatever you want on X, you can call that free speech, and that's fine, and I'm a big free speech guy, obviously. But, like, there is nothing, there's no joke edgier than what some random creator is going to say on X. Right. You know what I mean? Like, there's no wild joke that you hear where you will make you go, ooh, more than some random person is going to post or stream or say. There's also no sitcom that's going to make you laugh more than the comments of a certain post.

Like, comedy is in the hands of the people. But in a weird way, comedy, I think, and I've always said this, I think it thrives during censorship, right? Because it's the only way out. It's like that Oscar Wild quote. If you want to tell some of the truth, make them laugh. If not, they'll kill you. Like the role of the jester, if you want to even look back, it's like the jester could make front of the king.

Nobody else can make fun of the king. They cut your fucking head off, but the jester could. But now we're existing at a time where like you can really say whatever you want, true or false about anybody or anything or any story that's happening right now with almost zero repercussions. That's a weird time. Like, how does comedy fit in that time? Right. Can I keep going in on Bush? I want some more things.

Yeah, sure, sure. Guantanamo Bay opened. Right? So enhanced interrogation, which people considered torture was normalized, warrantless wiretapping, expanded government surveillance, all the massive deficits and tax cuts for the wealthy. He turned the Clinton era surpluses into deep deficits. Yeah. And damage the U.S. global credibility. I think I hit on everything.

Yes. And the reason I even looked all of that stuff up is because I was looking for a case of afternoon. I'm like, yo, America, we've had that. have gone through some worse times. Some worse times. Like, don't get me wrong, it's fucked up now. We've never seen, you know, democracy and institutions threaten the way they are right now.

But I'm like, when do I remember people feeling like this angst and this frustration? And I had to think and I was like, oh, before Obama. Because Obama was kind of, like he said, the audacity of hope. Obama was the optimism. Right? Like, this is what the country could be. Dude. So I was like, oh, Bush.

And then I started just thinking about all of the things that happened under Bush. and it's right there. And I remember when they used to say Bush was the devil and Dick Cheney was the devil and those guys were the Antichrist and those guys were the death of democracy. I remember that back then. I remember when Bush had to give out Bush bucks.

Same shit. They had to send out checks. Remember it was like a $750 check? You don't remember that? I remember all of that shit, man. But it is interesting though. Yeah, it is interesting. I think people are feeling that same

like angst and frustration and like that hopelessness. And, uh, but I get it. I get it. You're seeing things cost way more, right? You're not seeing upward mobility at your job. Man, you know, groceries are more expensive, but you're not making more money. You're seeing AI come in and replace jobs around you.

You're starting to go, well, shit, is my job going to go soon? You're watching these people walking around with mask on, you know, killing American citizens. Like, like, you know, busting up fucking shops, chasing people on the street, right? Come on, man. Come on. You're seeing, you know, radio hosts make $200 million. Like, nothing makes sense. I don't know what you're talking about.

Nothing makes sense. I don't know what you're talking about. Shout out to Drusky, man. Yo, they mad at Drusky, yo. They mad at Drusky. Before we go there. Before we go there. They mad at Drusky because Drusky did a skit, okay?

And this skit is about mega churches, man. And, you know, I don't even know if you could. Would it even make sense to play it? Well, not. Some parts you could hear it. Here's the thing, I don't understand any of the backlash that Druski is getting from this. Because there's no reason to be mad at Drusky. This is what you call a spoof.

He's a comedian making jokes. So he just imitated. So be mad at the people he's spoofing. Yes. Art reflects reality. Yeah. He's spoofing reality. He got this from somewhere.

I agree. Like, and I'm always going to defend comedians making jokes. I think that like there are some people that especially with religion, man, especially with God. They take it very seriously. You're saying God, though. He's making fun of the pastors. He's not making fun of God. Where does the pastor work?

Church. Okay. That don't mean there's God there. If you have a church. Now we're in a different conversation. What I mean is if you're a pastor and you're not pastoring the right way and you're pastoring for the wrong reasons and you're using the Bible and religion and God to take advantage of people, God don't exist in that church.

Well, what if you're part of that flock and you don't think that's what the pastor's doing? Well, Satan got a kingdom too. So you're taking the argument that these pastors are corrupt. If you're a corrupt pastor, yes. If you're a corrupt pastor, you are not submitting your will to God. You're submitting your will to Satan. That is true, 100%. Yeah.

We don't like corruption. Yeah, period. Now, again, the problem isn't the institution. The problem is the people running it. And that's who's who Drusky's making fun of. Drewski's making fun of the people who run the institutions. Like, not once in here to me that he insult the church. He's acting like how these some of these mega pastors act coming in.

Yeah, play some of it. He had one bar in here that was hilarious. Wanda told us earlier this month that she could not have a baby anymore. So I impregnated her with the Word of God. I'm going to impregnate everyone with the Word of God. You're going to get pregnant with the Word of God. You're going to get pregnant with the Word of God. You're going to get pregnant with the Word of God.

I had somebody in the congregation ass why I'm wearing God. Christian Dior and Christian Lupitan. Hilarious. Because I'm a Christian and I walk in the blood of Jesus. Hilarious. Give them some praise.

I'm a Christian first. And I walk in the blood of Jesus. Give them some praise. With the red bottoms on, hilarious. So we are raising funds for a project in Zimbabwe. Yes, we are trying to get our congregation over in Africa.

Amen. We wanted to raise $4 million. for that. Amen. That needs to appear today. We are not letting anyone leave until we reach our goal, amen. Hallelujah. Life savings here. Give them some praise for that. Give it his life savings up.

Apostle Richie says, Baby, can you help me? I said to can you? Help me. I said to Kenya, help me. I'm gonna finish this word here. And I'm gonna do the Christian version. Don't worry about it.

I'm gonna do the Christian version. I'm driving this billy, Ben Tager. Because I believe in Christ. Can you leap on your legs? Like a survivor. Can you leap on your legs? Hey, he did people, though. Where did he do people?

He did a production. and he cast a extra. Still praise the Lord. Hold on, hold on. I need you to the person in your wife. Hey, come on, man. Get your hands off my car. You gave tives an offer?

No. Back to fuck up, man. Drewski golded, bro. I don't care what y'all say. I love it. Yeah. I love it. Yeah, y'all got mad at me last year when I told you.

It's my personal opinion. I find Druskyy funnier than kid in Pipp. That's just my personal opinion, okay? don't know what to tell you. Okay, I think that when it comes to characters, smokes them. Now, when it comes to, the writing, I'll get at the key and pill.

But when it comes to, like, performing a character, Drewskiy all. It's a different type of sketch. Different type of sketch, man, different type of sketch. And me and Donnell Rob was having a conversation and he made me see that. He was like, Drewski is a character. Yes.

I forgot what he called it. I think he called him a character actor. He's a character actor, 100%. He is not. There's not too many character actors better than Bruce. He's phenomenal. He is, man. I don't even know why the rest of y'all create content. I'm going to be honest.

I'm being honest. Because to me, if I was a content created, that would be my bar. Like, if I was doing sketches and stuff, I'm like, if I can't get to that, what am I doing it for? Like, when you just got your little phone up and you're doing a little switch, everybody got to start somewhere.

I guess I'm talking about to the older content creators, not the younger ones. The younger ones got to start somewhere. But for the ones that's been doing it for a while, Druski took it to another level. That's what I appreciate about it. He keeps leveling up. Like, there's production value in this.

He got extras. They rented out a whole theater. They're hanging them from the ceiling. Like, this is... And him, Kevin Hart and Kast and I are bold too. They got great chemistry. Yeah. But that's just dope because they're showing

that they can do stuff like this. Right. Like, that's when you're just sitting around and you're just talking and you chopping it up. Yeah. But that right there is what he's doing with the sketches. That's like when you started doing the turning the camera sideways. You was like, you know what?

Everybody's sitting around. during COVID, y'all just talking into the camera. Let's turn it into a real production. What ended up happening? You ended up getting the Netflix, God damn special. You know what I'm saying? Everybody talks about the stand-up. Show Save America was actually the first.

That was the first joint. The thing we did on Netflix, yeah. I'm just saying, if you have the means and you have the resources and you're able to do sketches to that level, do it. You're only investing in yourself. You know what I mean? And you're only going to get back what you put in. I saw Druski's numbers.

They said this is his most watched sketch ever. Oh, of course. I imagine on X that shit went crazy. Yeah, because three reasons. Number one is good, right? hilarious. Number two, it starts a conversation. And people being upset about-

people being upset. Are people really upset or just like two people? I mean, they're upset. Because you know the media will do that. They're upset because they need content as well. Yeah. Like, everybody's creating content all day long. That's why y'all got to stop being upset at people like us.

Because what would you do without us? Remember what Scarface said, we're the motherfucking bad guys. You couldn't do nothing without us. You need people like me so you can point your fucking fingers. I say, that's the bad guy. Batman needs a Joker. Yeah. Okay?

You need people to be upset about. Yeah. Okay? You don't have the balls to take risk. Ooh. You don't have the balls to take risk. So the people that take risk and sometimes we get it right. Sometimes we get it wrong.

but we always give you something to talk about. That's right. You could create or you can react. You can create it. You can motherfucker and react. What else we got, Taylor? Do you want to pay some bills? You want to pay some bills to come back?

No, I have a multi-year deal. Like, this is common sense. Like, if you see an NBA player get that kind of money, they don't give them that. If an NBA player gets a max contract, they don't say here, you get paid annually. Yeah. How many years is it due? I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, this was crazy. This was crazy. I, like, okay, first of all, let me give you some context. Jay Z, um, sat down. This was from a couple of years ago, actually, because this was the rookie class of that year because I see Khalib, uh, what's Khalib last name, quarterback for the best?

Cleve Williams? Caleb. Caleb? Caleb. Caleb, Caleb Williams? Yes, this is the rookie class from a couple of years ago. And I guess Michael Rubin set up a conversation with them. And I guess he asked all of them, would you rather $500,000 dinner with Jay-Z?

And they was like, well, we got these nice rookie deals. So let's just take the dinner. And Jay-Z, he gave them from good words. Let's listen. The people that keep it real with you, you know, just kiss your ass and just tell you what you want to hear. Tell you, oh, bro, it's been three days, man. You ain't hitting it hard anymore. You're not working out.

You're not attacking it the same way, bro. Like, get in there, man. I'll come with you. Well, time, let's run. Let's run. Six o'clock. Let's get up. Let's run, man.

This is great advice. He was actually talking about yes men and how you shouldn't have yes people around you. But people pause them on this? You got to. That is part of not being a yes man. There is no way you sit there and listen. Play that again, yo.

Y'all ain't hear what it. I got gay ears. Shultz caught it. Listen to what he said. The people that keep it real with you, and don't just kiss your ass and just tell you what you want to hear. Tell you, oh, bro, it's been three days, man.

You ain't, you ain't hitting it hard anymore. You're not working out. You're not attacking it the same way, bro. Like, get in there, man. I'll come with you. Now, pause. What time is running. Like, no, literal pause.

Let's call on the video. Let's run, man. He's talking about not being a yes man. Yeah. If you sat there and listened to, Did Jay say that and didn't say, hey, yo! Hey, yo! I hit him with a purpool.

Pippoor. Fill me on this one. Pappal. You know what I'm saying? You are a yes man, okay? Because that was wild. He said, bro... But are you pausing Jay at a dinner, bro?

You got to. He said, bro, you ain't hitting it like you used to. You ain't hitting it in three days. You got to get in there and you got to attack it. Come with me. I'll come with you. So, Charlie, you're saying pause? Who?

You. In that moment? Hey, yo. First of all, the table would have died laughing. There's a bunch of kids there. It's a bunch of rookies. You know what I mean? They'd have died laughing.

Okay. Jay would have gave me a crazy look. But he would have had to admit, yeah, that was kind of crazy. That was kind of crazy, yo. Come on, man. I mean, preferencing it as saying like, listen, I can't be a yes man. Exactly. That's what I would say.

Listen. In the spirit of not being a yes man. In the spirit of not being a yes man. You got to pause that shit. Hey, Joe, that was crazy. Wow. That was crazy. That was crazy.

fucking crazy, bro. You're not hitting, you ain't hit it in three days. Let's play one more time, Taylor. Man, if I go to my Instagram, man. I edit it a nice to everybody. Okay? My edit is better than this. See, I'm like, I'm like, what the?

And I did it in the spirit and not being a yes man, you know what I'm saying? Hove has a sense of humor. Like, y'all act like Hobbs don't like the joke. Jesus Christ. You're calling him gay? No, we're not calling him gay. Stop acting like you don't know how this works. Okay?

You said something. that made me think something get. That was wild. Listen. Three days, man. You ain't hitting it hard anymore. You're not working out or you're not, you're not attacking it the same way, bro. Like, get in there, man.

I'll come with you. What time is running? That's right. Six o'clock. Let's get up. Let's run, man. Like, grow up. No.

Why? Why should I grow up? Okay? What reason do I have to grow up? Who wants to grow up? Oh, man. I'm not growing up. I'm out here on peptides and shit.

I'm trying to not growing up, okay? I wet the bed the other day. That's how much I don't want to grow up. Oh, yeah. This is when he started the pod before he started recording. Charleman said he wet the bed. Charterman said he wet the fucking bed. No, it was crazy.

I had a dream that I was peeing. Yeah, and then you started peeing? But no, you know how you laying there? And I don't know if I was like in between sleep or not between sleep, but I'm thinking to myself like, man, when I used to dream, dream about peeing, I would wet the bed. But I also sweat a little bit

when I sleep. So when I felt the little spot, I was just like, oh, I'm just sweating. And then when I came home late to that day, my wife had all the sheets off the bed. She didn't text you? So I was like, damn, did I wet the bed? And I was like, yo, I think I wet the bed.

She didn't call you a video. I don't know if she think. I told her that I think I went to bed. I did tell her. I think I went to bed last night. And she was like, I just thought, I think it was this time to wet the sheets. I don't know if I was like, she was like, I don't know. And I don't know if I did or not, but I think I did. My point is, you know you did. Hey, you know, okay. Well, I'm going to tell you something. Nothing makes you feel more like a kid again than wet in the bed. Try it. What? Try it. When the last time you had a, when the last time you had a dream about wetting the bed,

you've had them before, right? Yes. When the last time you had a dream about wetting the bed. You've had them before, right? Yes, when I was a job. How did it make you feel? Not good. Like a child. Chris, you ever had a dream about wetting the bed? I think I still might have them. You see what I'm saying?

Wet the bed every now and then, man. I wish I... What the fucking bed every now. I wish I was rich enough to not get up to pee in the night. That's what I wish. I wish I had $200 million so I can have to pee in the middle of the night and just back, fuck it. I'll buy some new sheets.

Listen, I couldn't believe it, though. I was like, oh, shit, I had a... It felt like, man, it felt nostalgic. I'm like, I already had a dream about wetting the bed in a long fucking... Is this making you feeling... Have you ever had a nocturnal emission? Oh, the nut? Yeah.

Oh, yes. Come on, man. Okay, so it's normal as you wet the bed. Well, that's when ghosts used to fuck you in your sleep. It's interesting that you choose the ghost to fuck you. It's interesting that that's... And you nut? It's interesting that that's what makes you come.

It's a ghost fucking you. It could be a female ghost sucking you off. It could be a ghost. ride in your dick, but in this hypothetical, if a male ghost, you know what I'm going, if a male ghost suck you off, are you gay? Nah, it's a male ghost. No, but you're gay because your subconscious is bringing men sucking your dick. It's a ghost.

It's a ghost, bro. It's a ghost. It's a ghost. It doesn't count. Postal guy's penetration don't count. That, don't count. You know what? I'm in a yes bet.

Hey, yo. What? So listen, if you wake up and slimers suck in your cock, right? Slimer. From ghost. I know, boo. Like, of all the ghosts, like, why I got to be slimer? I don't even know if slimer has a gender.

You know what I mean? Like, of all the ghosts that exist? Okay. You're some- Do ghosts have a race? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, depending on who it is. Like, let's say it's the ghost to somebody you know.

Well, when you get molested, who's a, what, is it white ghosts? Molested. What's you bringing it? Over and off. I don't think ghosts can molested. you, Chris. What's happening to you? Huh? When they visit you. Yes, when you get visited. Yeah, yeah. That's molesting then. No, he's... No, he's... He's... He's dreaming it up. He wants it. Generally, what type of ghosts are they?

Oh, I've never seen the ghosts. I just assume that I'm just saying if you woke up, right, from a nocturnal omission, and you could see the poltergeist and it was a male poltergeist wiping his mouth out. Ew! Like, what would you think? Man, that's a lot to share. Yeah, that's a lot to share. No, that never happened to me. No, I'm just a lot to share. It's like, yo, I saw a ghost last night.

Already, that's not believable. Why not? Most people don't believe in ghosts. That's not my fault. Grow up, okay? That's when you should grow up. Okay, when you sleep and you wet the bed, you don't grow up. But when you, if you want to grow up, then you need to believe in ghosts.

I think if a male ghost visited me in the middle of the night, suck me off. I think I would also say I peed the bed. Damn. I think I would say that too. I don't think there's anything wrong with paranormal porno activities. Yeah. Do your thing, man.

Ain't nothing wrong with it. I'm just asking if it was a male ghost. It's 2026, man. No, I'm just saying if it was a male ghost, can you say that you had a homosexual experience? No. No, exactly. It's a ghost.

They're dead. It's a ghost. They're dead. Now, are you gay? in the afterlife. Like when the ghost goes back and tell everybody... The ghost is gay, but you're not gay. The ghost is gay. Yeah. That's crazy. The ghost is gay. That's crazy.

It's not crazy. They were gay people back in the day. What is this article? What the fuck is going on? Why is Chris wiping his wild boy? You see that shit, man? It's out here like, man. I can't wait to be a goat. So I can live out my wildness. Almost bedtime. Chris, let's say you're

become a ghost. Who you suck him first? What you gonna do now? I have to suck somebody? Well, in this hypothetical, yeah. Or who are you smashing first if you're a ghost? I don't want to show my hand right now. Yo, Drusky, let that be your next sketch, y'all, a gay Freddy Kruger. A gay Freddy Kruger that's like haunting like the most homophore.

What's the most, Google, what's the most homophobic Zipode in America? His glove is just dildoos. Dick, five, dildoes. Five dildos on his glove. Google was the most homophobic zip code in America. Probably like Salt Lake City or something. You see what I'm saying? Imagine everybody homophobic afraid to sleep.

Because Freddie Kruger got five, got a claw with five dildos. Oh, my God. And he's motherfucking fingering you in your sleep. No, that's terrifying. Jesus Christ. What else we got, Taylor? So, supposedly this guy has a micro penis and now he's out talking about it. So I have the actual.

Why did the headline say, inside the curse lives of two men with the world smallest and largest penises? I guess it's both. I think, yeah. Which one does he got? He is a small one. So I'm about to... What's small? Hold on, I might as well just play the interview for you.

Welcome back now then here at this morning. We've never shied away from tackling real life matters. And today, we're talking about what might be the last taboo. And with the average UK penis size around 5.2 inches, annexed. The next guest measures up to just 0.3.3. eight inches for comparison the size of garden pee. Yeah, 38-year-old Michael Phillips

was medically diagnosed this can't be real, bro. He believes could well be the smallest in the world. It's left him unable to be intimate and he's even had to try fat injections to see if that can help. But while they proved unsuccessful,

Michael wants to help other men feel better about their own bodies and he's here now. Good morning. Thank you for joining us, Michael. Thank you so much. We've been talking about this. and it's so important that you're here and you're sitting on the couch and you're prepared to talk about it.

Why is it so important to you? I guess because it should be known that it's a medical condition that can cause it and that if more people realize that it was a condition when they're younger, that they could be taken and seen by a doctor and hopefully get treatment that would actually provide some, So how does he even jack off, bro? Because by the time you eventually got diagnosed, like his fingers are too big

that even jack off or 0.38 inch penis, bro. I mean, did they show it? No, they don't. I don't want to see it a little bit. I want to see it a little bit. You want to see that little thumb screw. Is the thumb screw even as big as that?

The thumbscrew's smaller than that, right? This is crazy. I feel sorry for this guy. Scroll down, man. You know why I feel sorry for guys with small penises, man? Because there's nothing they can do about it, Like, there's no amount of money.

There's no surgery. Like, there's nothing you can do. Like, women can... I thought there was enlargement pills or something like. Yeah, but it just makes it, like, fat, like a Pringles can. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's still like a little snack-sized Pringles can. Like, a woman can go get breasts.

A woman can go get a BBL. Women can go get lip injections. You can't do nothing with that... How big is O.P.38? You got to cut it off. You got to cut it off and scoop it out. Go trans, bro. Turn it outside.

Go trans. Coo it out. You could have the smallest penis or the tightest pussy, bro. Yeah, man. Yeah, you already got the clit and building around it. That's true. Leave that shit. Leave the clint.

Leave it and build around it. This is crazy. I feel sorry to this guy. It's kind of the moment that you discover that and knowledge is power and then you can go and get some help. Teller, why he's still playing? Can he first start to realize that you had a really small penis? I would say probably around high school and dealing with like girlfriends and stuff like that

but I was always like under the belief that like maybe like I'm a late bloomer. Yeah. Maybe one day it's normal size. So you're waiting for pupils to have an impact and that was going to happen? And then it never did. It just never did.

Why I don't get those kind of interviews, man. Taylor book them kind of interviews for me every now. Can we not? Can I not talk to the man with the work? the world's smallest penis on the breakfast club. We come into Netflix, January 26. This is the kind of entertainment people want, bro. Can I not talk to the man with the world's smallest penis?

Not one time? Jesus Christ. God bless him, yo. Well, Chris, say what you said. What did I say? You said, you were asking, like, how do you tell the girl or are you just? Well, that would be my question. Do you lead with that information if you meet somebody?

Yeah, because it's like being friends. You don't. What do you mean, no, you don't? Because you know how many girls are with guys that don't aren't big? 0.3 inches. Not 0.38, Taylor. Yeah. Oh, you how much 0.

That's less than an inch. That's like a half of an inch. That's your nail. Pretty much. I don't even know if you could hang a jacket. Yeah. It's like you was in the factory and like the workers just stopped. They was like, I'm tired.

They just sent them down there. You know what I'm saying? Gave him everything else except for a cock. He can't ejaculate then. Or it just goes all over him, really. Yeah, probably. Yeah, how do you? No, he sits down.

He just sits down. He just sits down. He don't got to stand up. He got to sit when he pee. Yeah. God, I don't know if you can sit in pee because it will come right through the space. Oh, oh. Got to go train up home. You guys.

Got to go train at home. It's going to sit on the balls. It's going to sit on the balls. I'm not the biggest, but I don't got to touch it all the time. I'll say that. What does that mean? Like sometimes I'd be like just to do it. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Put your hands behind your back and just like that thing hang and piss. Perfect aim, baby. That's how you look at bed at night, huh? What else we got? What else we got? Oh, autistic Barbie. They got the autistic Barbie, yo.

Oh, that was crazy. You're not going to get that for your kids? I mean, aren't all Barbie's autistic? Like, what's more autistic, artistic about this? Why does the black Barbie? Why doesn't that dude with that little penis identify as a Barbie? You know what I mean? Or identify.

All you can identify as a kid, they don't have shit down there, bro. Like, identify as a fucking Mattel dog. That's what he should do, man. He's a real-life Mattel doll. He's a real-life fucking Mattel doll. First of all, I don't understand why this Barbie is autistic. Like, I don't get it. Like, it...

Oh. What makes it autistic? Yeah. headphones and a flower? I remember when they did the Down syndrome, Barbie. I thought that was racist. But that's racist. Oh, whatever it is.

But there's nothing about this that screams autism. Yeah, like, what is it? What is it say? Let me read it. Let me read it. I think that's that spinner thing. What spinner thing? That's a fucking...

A fidget spinner? A fidget? Can't fidget? That's... That's not... I play with my mustache. That means? So everybody's autistic then.

No, but a lot. They need, like, something to be doing. We all right. I don't need something to be doing. I'm literally flipping my phone when as I said that. You're a low. You're a little on respect. I might be. I don't like the stereotype.

Yeah, I don't like it either. It's some wax there. As for the look of the new doll, Mattel says the eyes of the new Barbie shifts slightly to the side. It represents how some people with autism sometimes avoid direct. The doll also was given articulated elbows and wrists to acknowledge what? Oh, yeah. Stimbing? Sometimes they do like the over extensions.

Stimbing, hand flapping, and other just things. that some autistic people use to process sensory information are to express excitement. Yeah, Mattel running out of shit to do. Just get them a train set, man. I don't think a doll is what the autistic kid wants. Shit, get them a calculator. Yeah, autistic kids smart as shit.

There you go. Autistic kids be figuring out so many problems. That might be redundant. Teach them out of cold. You know what I'm saying? Send them to a fucking steam school. Like, autistic kids are smarted. I don't know why there's such negative.

about autism. Exactly. Look how you thrives. Taylor, let's all I'm go to something. What else we got there? Look, that's not even shade to me. I might be a little autistic. That's fine.

Because I'm creating it as fuck, so I don't fucking matter. Exactly. It's beautiful. There's nothing wrong with it and it's beautiful. What else we got, man? Oh, go to the man punch me in the face. Yeah. That was great.

Eric Adams was on a flight. And Eric Adams was coming off flight. This got to suck, yo. They don't, before we play this clip, they're really, you know how people leave prison and then they just put them out into the world? And we always say like they need therapy or they need to be in like some type of halfway house before they just get put out in the population. It should be the same thing for elected officials. Really? Especially when they only do one term.

When was Eric Adams ever out of the public space? He lived in the public. Yeah, but it's different. You don't got your security detail no more with you. People can approach you like this. Let's press play, Taylor. She's the police Eric Adams. Please punch me in the face.

I would love if you punch me in the face. Okay, you can get a bit too. All right? Yeah, fuck you. Those things are over. Yeah, good. Thank God. Damn.

And I see her out of his face everywhere. That's right. Boy, they just chew you up and spit you out, man. Right? He was the mad New York City for four years. Now you just on a plane, regular people can just walk up to you talk crazy to you that's not right yo that's actually a problem waiting to happen for an elected official that's not right man he caused that how with like

his scandals and stuff that he had that's not true though because of what chris was even saying earlier it's like there's always going to be half of the country that don't like even if you tried to do the right thing and i'm not saying that's that mayor adams i'm just saying like like think of any elected officials think of man think of what comelah has probably got to deal with you know what They took the secret service from her. So she's just out here. I mean, she got a security detail. But just imagine what she has to deal with.

They took the secret service from her? Yeah, Trump took her secret service. I didn't know that. That's fucked. Yes, you did. That's fuck. You took the way before her last book tour. She was the vice president.

Why would she still have it? But she's the vice president of the United States of America, dude. Like, you don't put someone in that position with that type of power and then immediately remove their protection. In this climate? Especially. You always have it for the rest of their life? No, they changed it.

I don't know how long it is. I know for presidents, it's definitely longer. But I think that, I think if I'm not mistaken, Joe Biden extended hers because of the political climate. Am I tripping? All I know is Trump got rid of it right before her book tour. Wow. You know what I'm saying?

But just imagine what she has to deal with. Just walking through an airport. Like, eh, I don't like it. Now, y'all is how I feel about it elected official. I don't like it. Because this is just a problem waiting to happen. you know. I'm surprised he don't have a buffalo. I at least have one security guy. Why he just walking around like a club promoter?

I'm curious what she's upset at him about. Yeah. Why didn't put me in the policy or is it the corruption that she's upset about? I don't know. It's a good question. That's a good question. Yeah. What else we got? Want to pay some bills and then do some asking idiots? Let's do it. Let's talk to the people. Let's pay some bills and do some assing idiots, man. Let's do some ass and idiots, Taylor gang. And yes, I'm going. And yes, I'm going to talk to the people. And yes, I'm I will be in Vegas to go watch Mary J. Blige's residency. Are you fucking kidding me?

I miss Young Jeezy in Vegas, but I will not miss Mary J. Blodges. Shout out Mero. Salute to Mero, man. New morning host to Hot 97. Salute to my guy Meryl, man. I hit Meryl. I mean, I hit Meryl, but I talk to Meryl every now and then. That's my guy.

You know, we all started, well, we were already at MTV, too. And they started, I think, working on your... Deas and Mero started working on... Jesus and Merrill got bought in during our whole MTV2 tenure. And, you know, it's one of those things. And they used to do this to all the OG talent. They would ask us about new and upcoming talent. Yeah, yeah.

I didn't know who they were. But I was like, oh, yeah, I fuck with them once I saw their content and stuff like that. So they bought them in. MTV2 didn't really have anything for them to do. Like MTV2 has some fire-ass talent. Yeah. Like, and I'm talking about after the guy code, girl code, that era, The cold air.

The cold air is what set off all of that new original programming. Yeah. But they were bringing in new talent and didn't really know what to do with them because, you know, we were still cooking. Yeah. And so when I started Uncommon Sense, yeah, Deesis and Meryl had a segment on my show called Classic or Trash every week. That's right. So I think that's the first time they were ever on TV, if I'm not mistaken, yeah. So at that time, it was Deezis, Meryl and Zuri Hall.

Yeah. MTV did not know what to do with them. MTV did not know what to do. And so Zuri was my first. co-host for Uncommon Sense and Deez de Meryl was on every episode and Zuri and Zerre did like the pilot and did one episode and then she left and went to entertainment tonight. E. Tee. Yeah, yeah. And then he had these Zerneral. E. E. E. E. E. Yeah. This is Zerrearre Hals. The good sister is Zerrearie Hall. Yeah, Dizzer Meryl started at Vise and they went to

showtime and then, you know, things didn't work out between them. And, you know, Meryl, Meryl, Meryl been cooking shit. Mero was 7 p.m. in Brooklyn. Mellow. With Mello and Kaz and I think Monica McDonald's on there sometime. And now he's got more than it's on Hot 97. Bravo. I think it's great. I think it's cool. I always felt like they should have been on radio, like especially when they were the

bodega boys. And you imagine the bodega boys, Jesus and Meryl, on the radio? You know what I'm saying? Like, I would have gave them afternoons, though. But they would have gave them afternoon. Like driving home or? Driving home. Yeah.

Yeah, too. Like, Deans and Merrill would have been on the afternoon bodega boys in New York City. Like, oh, come on. But Merrill, Merrill should do well, man. Salute to my guy, Merrill. Mike Mason 3 says, oh. Oh, this is a good one.

Go back. Go that one. Andre, the Outlaw says, welcome back. Schultz. How did you come up with the name, Lincoln? Lincoln is my brother's middle name. And it's actually my wife's grandma's middle name as well. Really?

Yeah, my dad named my brother after Abraham Lincoln, obviously. And we like that. And then Lawrence is obviously my dad's name. That's his middle name. So it's Lincoln Lawrence. L.L. Schultz. Yeah. Ladies loves Shotsie.

L.L. Sholtsy. Go to that first one. I like this first one too right here. This is a good one. No, that one. What's the other one? No, go scroll up, scroll up. What's better?

Undead Assad says, what's better? A witty response or a quick response. A quick witty response. Those are the best. Those are the fucking, those are the greatest, a quick witty response. That's why I love funny people, man. It's like, how do you come up with that shit so quick, man? It feels real.

It's in the moment. You know, it's not performative. It's not performative, man. Yeah. Classic Grant says, could either of you eat a human if it came down to it? Yeah. I got news for you, Classic Grant. What do you think beyond beef is?

What you think impossible meat is? I don't eat any of that. I'm not doing it on, like, because I want to. I'm doing it out of, like, survival. Bro, we definitely didn't eat some human, bro. Not, can stop it. Bro, we definitely didn't eat some human, bro. You get sick.

You know, how you know? I saw a clip like that. I don't know. They said it somewhere. No, we definitely didn't eat some human. Come on, man. All of these bodies, bro. People are dying?

Like, come on, bro, we definitely didn't eat some human. There was a game show. At some of these restaurants? I think beyond meat. What the fucking beyond meat? Impossible meat. They say it's plant-based because it's just fucking dead vegans. Shut up.

Yo, this might be as when did it get most popular during COVID? Maybe they used all those bodies. Do what I'm saying? They got all those bodies. They were sneaking them out the hospital. Remember when they had those trucks dragging them out the hospital? And they got regularly impossible and they got beyond, but then they got the plant-based beyond. The plant-based beyond is the carcasses of vegans.

And the regularly impossible and the beyond is just, you know, bodies. I mean, what is a vegan? It's plant-based meat. You see what I'm saying? That's a great point. See what I'm saying? Next question. You ever had some beyond Ville?

This is the idiots. You ever had some beyond fucking Ville? You know what that is? What? Baby's, yo. I knew, hey, that's $200 million talking right there. He's invited, bro. He's in the Illuminati.

He's eating the baby blood, the babies. I'm not going to front. That's another thing that's so fucking stupid to be. Yo, I've seen a lot of coping going on, bro. Like, you know, some of you know, some of you y'all just really, you know, y'all, y'all sound comforting the losers. Talk to me. No, I'm just saying it. When people be like, oh, he's in the Illuminati or, you know,

you got to suck dick to get a Netflix deal or this and that. It's like, yo, you sound comforting to losers. Didn't you say that you're making an announcement about entering the Illamini? Oh, God, tell it. You've been around me all of these years and you don't understand I entertained yet. Yeah, but I thought you were gonna actually make the announcement. Yeah, that's what I was, yeah. You think I didn't know what the fuck I was doing?

Yeah. You think, you think this just happened? You think I just, I just did this in the last month? Like, no. No. You know what I'm saying? The motherfuckers is crazy. Motherfuckers is really crazy.

Crazy. When they'd be like, he, all of a sudden, I'm doing radio for 28 fucking years. I've been at breakfast club for 15. Okay? They'll learn one day, but I did an interview with Axios where a real journalist who actually does real research asked me what I was going to do because my deal was up. I said, how do you know that? She said because you signed back in September of 2020 and it was a five-year deal.

That's just common sense for anybody who chooses to use it. You know what I'm saying? That's this common sense for anybody who chooses to use it, you know, and reads just a little bit. Just a little bit. But no, some of y'all do really sound comforting the losers. And the only thing I would say to any of y'all, man, is you do realize you paint yourself in a corner because whenever you do achieve anything, right, any type of level of success, you've put yourself in a corner because you told everybody the only way to achieve that is to suck dick.

So you must have suck. You must have fucking sucked. You've got to... You told people the only way to achieve that was to be in the Illuminati. So, it's nefarious means when anybody else does it, but it's talent when you do it. Talent.

Like, listen. But let's be honest, most people would suck for 200. No. For 200? 200, most people suck. So why isn't it more... By the way, I don't know what you're talking about with that number.

But why isn't it more people getting that type of deal? if it's so easy to get by just giving some head. No, because it's not that many people who want to get sucked for 200. Ooh, that's a good point. Like, $200 million for a blow job is a horrible. That's crazy. How much money are you making

if you can just give up $200 for a dick suck? It's only Bezos could do that. Damn! It's really only Bezos. And I don't think he wants you to suck his dick. Right? Like, is Bill Clinton or not Bill Clinton? Yeah, Bill don't got it.

Is Bezos? Who's the other guy, Bill Gates? It is funny, though. But it is funny, though, because I watch a lot of people who, you know, used to get deals like that, right? Used to get deals in corporate America. And it's just like, so it was cool when you was doing it. But then when everybody else after you was doing it, they did it by some nefarious means. But it's really crazy.

Don't, I mean, people believe what makes them feel good, man. I see a lot. Isn't that what Drusky's sketches about? Yes. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. I like it. I like those of you who sound comforting to losers. And if you hear certain things from certain people and certain people say, you know, that you can only achieve certain things through nefarious means or gay means, if you need that kind of comfort

because you're a loser and you don't believe in God and you don't believe you have a talent and you don't believe in hard work, I don't know what to tell you, brother. Our sister. I don't know to tell you. Amen. Go eat a Beyond Burger. That's made a dick meat. What else we got, Taylor? Let's do a couple more. Are you looking forward to Jay Cole's new album? Ida underscore Don. I don't know. Looking forward. I'm going to listen to it. I'm going to definitely check it out. I don't know if I'm looking forward to it. Are you looking forward to it, Alex? Not really, but I'm not really looking forward to any music anymore. Isn't that interesting? Depressed? No, just. What's going on?

Music doesn't feel like it's driving culture. I love music. I love hip-hop music. I hear what you're saying now, Alex. It just doesn't feel like we had, we had Drake and Kendrick that like encapsulated what felt like a year. And then now, ever since then it just hasn't really felt like another story has been. I haven't heard anything that's like, who. You know, and listen there, bro, there's some great-ass dope-ass rap.

Looted my guy, Rubin Vincent from Charlotte, North Carolina. phenomenal. He got a dope project out with Ninth Wonder. Salute to Kai Cash from New York City. He signed the DJ Drama. And what's the name of Drama's Joint? What's the name of Generation Now? You know what I'm saying? Salute to Nico Brim. Salute to Marco, motherfucking,

plus from Atlanta, Georgia. Markle is so goddamn phenomenal. Oh, my God. Salute to Chris Patrick from New Jersey. Salute to Fergie, baby. There's some dope ass. Salute the win. You seen the white girl win that'd be running around with Rob Markman?

Oh my God. Her and Kai got a joint right now that's dope. Them young kids, there's some really dope-ass young rappers out there. I was thinking about this over the holidays. I'm like, yo, if I was Drake, if I was Kendrick, if I was cold, they all got labels. Why aren't they scooping them up? Scooping up that whole new wave. Like, them people I just named are some phenomenal-ass artists.

Like everything you love about hip hop Everything you say you like about hip hop The top tier lyricism People that actually care about bars Them people I named are really really doing it Like those are some dope-ass rappers So I'm gonna check Cole Col's O.G, he's a veteran, you know

I heard there was a rumor that Jay-Z might be back in the studio So if that happens I'm always checked for Hove, come on That's my era I'm always checked for Hove Like I'm gonna listen to Cole as well My thing with Cole is I don't know

what the approach is going to be. Yeah. Because, you know, the last few years leading up to the battle, Cole was saying I'm the best. He was the guy. I'm the best. You know, I'm numeral Udo. I'm Muhammad Ali of this shit. He's still going to say that.

Yeah, but then when he had the opportunity to prove it with the other two greats of a generation, he chose to back out. And if I'm being honest, the offer, I'm always being honest, but the offering that he did contribute to the dis war was like, eh. No, when he went at Kendrick, because I don't, you didn't even believe that. Like, you didn't believe that, you know Kendrick catalog is phenomenal, like, eh. And so when he backed out, cool, I respect him. I appreciate it.

You know, if you did what your spirit told you to do. But what's the album going to be about if you're not trying to be number one? You understand what I'm saying? Like, I don't... He kind of addressed, I forgot what Sangha was, where he was saying basically that it would have been a fallout with his... with his friend,

talking about Kendrick. You're going to do a whole album? It's going to be lemonade? You're the whole album about a fallout? I know, I'm not saying that, but I think he's going to dress it again, though. I don't want to hear that. I don't.

I'm obviously, but like I said, I'm going to listen to it. You know, it's not like Cole... It doesn't wrap... Wrap his ass off. We know that. Like, you know, I'm definitely going to check it out. Let's do two more, man.

Tequila Poppy. He said, why y'all so sassy? Damn. Yeah, let us sass. We can't be sassy. Can't get some sassal? You don't like a sassy-assie-ass man, bro. Nothing wrong with that.

Are we sassy, though? Yes. What's the definition of sassy? You're sassy. I'm sassy? You think I'm sassy, Taylor? Am I sassy Taylor? I don't know what they...

Let me see what the definition of sassy. What am I? You're just a white man. The definition of sassy is lively, bold, and confident. You're talking about an attitude of style, often playful of spirited. First of all. That's what the definition is. The definition is not what the culture says about sassy.

I don't give a fuck about culture. Y'all don't even know words. The fuck? I give a fuck about actual definition. I care about actual definitions of things. Cheeky are impudent in a way that's amusing rather than rude. A little attitude, not outright disrespect. What's wrong being sassy?

It says sassy can be positive or mildly negative. It says sassy can be positive or mildly negative depending on context and delivery. I don't have a problem being fucking sassy, yo. Call me sassy. Sassy Davis. It's not being sassy Davis. One more. Ooh, this is a good one.

2006, what can brilliant idiots fans expect from y'all? What do you think, Charlotte? We got anything up our sleeve or nothing? We got things up our- merch is coming. The website's beginning. Ooh. Merch is definitely coming.

I think this is the year for a short film. Uh-oh. I think this is the year for a brilliant year of a short film. I do. Animated short film. Because I feel like only animation can capture what it is we can hear. I think we could do animation. But I also think live action is.

I like live action, you know, if it's written the right way. What's the last two great live action shows you see? Like the last two phenomenal live action shows you've seen. I got two. Comedy? Comedy? Or just anything? Comedy.

TV? TV. I mean, Kirby enthusiasm is phenomenal. Kirby's always phenomenal. Kirby's always phenomenal. I like Dave by Lil Dicky. Dave, of course. Boy, the studio with Seth Rogen.

Oh, you liked it. Oh, you like it. Oh, I liked it. Interesting. That shit is fucking hysteria. You didn't watch the studio? I watched it a little bit. That shit is hysterical.

I like things that exist in a real world. Yeah. And it's kind of like the evolution of entourage. Yeah. Steph is just fucking incredible. He's fucking incredible. He's fucking incredible. I'm surprised.

I'm surprised you liked it because it's so inside with the acting world. I love it But like you're you as someone who's not like entrenched in the acting world You still get all the things that they're talking about And because it's more I feel like an outsider in it But it's more from an executive perspective

Got it yeah yeah so you it's more like on the agent side Yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah The head Yeah yeah so it's more from an executive perspective And you see how the executives be blowing smoke up people's ass How none of them want to tell the truth The episode when they finally cast

For the Kool-Aid man movie And they got ice cube playing the Kool-Aid man. And it takes one woke motherfucker in the room to be like, I think that might be racist, yo. To have the Kool-Aid man. They're like, but everybody likes Kool-Aid. We all drink Kool-Aid.

And then they go around the office and the other black people are telling them like that, no, I don't think that's racist at all. But then they decide to make the whole cast black. And then finally the person goes, okay, see, now that's racist. That shit is fucking funny. And then when they finally reveal it at the upfront,

it ain't even the backlash to the race. that they get is for something. You got to watch it, man. The studio is fucking hysterical. Yeah. That shit is good. If we, that's the pocket I like to be. Because that's the type of tone of humor and shit that I like.

Yeah. We doing shit like that. We're doing shit like Dave. We got something. Now we're talking. We got something. But yeah, man, you can expect that. I mean, I don't know, man.

What do you think? A lot of these podcasts going to Netflix and shit, I don't know. But I don't think it's just going to be Netflix. I think what people are missing about the Netflix thing is that it's going to open it up because all of the screamers going to want in, bro. Yes.

It's not just going to be Netflix. Amazon's going to make a play. Screaminging services like Peacock might make a play. I don't know if Disney Plus will ever get into it because it's Disney and, you know, the content that... Maybe Hulu. Maybe Hulu? Yeah, you know?

So you just never know. I think that it's going to open it up for all these screaming platforms, man. And I mean, listen, I know a lot of y'all make a lot of great money on YouTube. Salute to YouTube. YouTube is always going to be great for discoverability.

YouTube is always going to be great for promotion and marketing as long as they're not suppressing your content. But it's good to have other options. Options get you more money. Yes. You want people to be able to compete for you.

Yes. Competition is good. Yes. So we love that. So yeah. I mean, that's what I'm looking forward. I'm looking forward to bringing to bring it is just continuing

to grow in 226, but I'm looking forward to watching how to podcast industry continues to grow in 20206 because there's not just one way there used to be a pipeline right it used to be start your podcast use social media to promote it

put it on YouTube and that's where it stopped and then you know things like Patreon came around so now people were able to have subscriptions it's just good that people are looking at podcast creators in that way as being full-fledged shows that they want to partner with you know so it's not just going to be Netflix

it's going to be a lot of different platforms that come. And it's going to be a lot of people doing great licensing deals. And please, that's another thing. Stop saying that people are selling their video rights. You're only selling your video rights if you choose to sell your video rights.

All of these deals I'm seeing are licensing deals. They're licensing deals the platforms like Netflix. I don't care if it's bar stools, Spotify, Eyeheart, people are doing licensing deals. I mean, you're licensing your content to YouTube when you're you put it on and then they sell ads on it.

And you don't even read the motherfucking terms and conditions. Ain't none of y'all ever read the terms and conditions of motherfucking YouTube. You just put it up and click and just throw it up there. You don't know what the fuck you done gave away. YouTube might fuck around. And I shouldn't even say this. Never mind. I'll tell you off here.

I don't even want to give nobody at YouTube any ideas. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart. You think we're intelligent. You think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right. Whatever you listen to this podcast, I think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit. You're right, too. It's the brilliantist podcast.

Thank you for listening. Peace.
