I love the premise of this show.
Smart people talking about dumb shit.
I think it's dumb people talking about smart shit.
Oh, we go where we're not supposed to go, baby.
Yep, Shalameen the guy.
Andrew Shultz.
We are the brilliant idiots podcast.
Back for another week of brilliant idiotness.
Andrew Shultz is here, Hezzi.
Yeah, what's up?
I saw you out with the goat.
Son, Kodak Black?
First of all, your whole fashion style changed after one fucking, you walk one run.
You walk one runway in Paris.
In Paris.
What?
I'm supposed to be regular.
I'm supposed to be regular now after I've been at the top of the fashion industry.
What do you call that look you're doing right now?
Inspector Cluso.
Ooh, I like that.
I like that.
I like that. I like that. I like that.
You could be a detective, but still casual enough to jump up there to do a sneaky stand-up set.
Sneaky stand-up set.
Give them 20 real quick.
Shout out to that.
LGBT community.
What's up?
LGBTQ community.
You don't even know how funny this shit was.
I'll tell you about it.
You don't even know how gay Paris was.
No, no.
I mean, yeah.
But like, we were at this after party for our boy, Collum, who was the designer for Kids Super,
and he designed the men's collection for Louis Vuitton this year.
It's like a huge achievement for him.
As a homie.
Absolutely.
We're going to hook you up.
So he's at his after party.
He's about to give his, like, you know, speech saying thank you, whatever.
He goes, hey, I just want to thank you guys so much.
And thank my team and just everything that we had to do to get here.
Like, we built it.
And all of a sudden, this like, girl walks up on stage, grabs the mic from him and goes
and shout out to the LGBTQ plus I community.
What?
We need to recognize the LGBT clude whatever community.
DJ,
Klu, Klu Klu Klu Klu Klu Klu Klu-Klu-Kloom.
98.
Yeah, yeah.
We need to shout out to LGBT.
So Kallum gets the mic back, right?
And he goes, that's exactly what I was going to say next.
Shout out to the LGBTQ off-lux community, right?
Why do?
Why did she do that?
No clue, bro.
No clue, bro.
No clue.
We didn't even know what the fuck was going on.
At the end of the party, my boy Jamil,
Jamil ends up talking to the girl,
the LGBT group plus whatever girl, right?
Yeah.
And he's talking to her, all of a sudden,
her friend comes over like,
what do you want with my friends?
What are your plans for it tonight?
What are you trying to do?
What's going on?
And Jamil is drunk as fuck.
You should have looked at him.
I'm gay.
I appreciate him the shout out.
He drunk as fuck.
He cooks and he goes,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Me and your friend are just having a
conversation man to man, all right?
Ha!
Ha!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! ha ha ha ha ha!
Mish gendering 101.
Whoa!
No, he's LGBTQ friendly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Hold on.
Did he get corrected on that?
Not even, well?
I would hope not.
Come on, man.
We outside.
Come on.
Shout to LGBTQ plus.
At some point, you got to realize things like man to man are just phrases.
You know what I mean?
The L.J.
Clue Plus community.
That's a new one, bro.
The LGDJClu Plus community.
I be saying LGBTQ Disney Plus.
That, you know, LGBT.
I do.
I say that all the time.
Only because when I think of the plus,
I think Disney.
I'm sorry.
Listen,
y'all got,
the LGBTQ community has a very strong hold on the alphabet.
Do you have the alphabet?
You got the rainbow flag,
but the plus is Disney.
It's Disney, baby.
I can't even front.
Disney,
and that says a lot,
because Disney Plus ain't even been around that long.
It's brand new.
Brand new.
They got the impact.
Lokey,
they might have snap.
the plus from the gays.
No, I think they always had it.
Well, maybe they did.
You know what?
I don't know when the plus came about with the LGBT thing.
Shit, my man, my man, Theo Vaughn, he called it the, he was like the L, he goes the LG,
LSU versus Gonzaga, plus community.
We love y'all, man.
You know what I mean?
Listen, you was with the goat, though.
Shout out the alphabets.
Yo, um, Kodak, Kodak is the goat, bro.
Listen, Kodak's a motherfucker.
That video with you and Kodak because you wanted this thing super.
Grimling so bad, but you didn't know when the N-Words landed.
It was in the camera, there was too many cameras, bro.
You were into, that little piece of hair was going, boy.
You were, like, you were into it.
Go-Dak was trying to set me up.
He was, he was being Super Gremlin.
He's looking right at me, knowing full M-Words is flying all over the place,
trying to get me to wrap along with it, and I was not having it, bro.
I was just fist pumping.
I was like, yeah.
Where was that?
That was in Paris?
That was in Paris, yeah.
But that was last night.
That was two nights ago.
Oh, I saw it on your story last night.
Yeah, yeah, I just posted that show.
I had to wait a day, check the N-words, and then we were good.
And I just checked to make sure nothing was recorded, bro.
You never know.
And you walked into it, you walked on the runway.
Codecad Rock walked in that same show.
He walked in Kitt's Super Show?
He was at the show.
Okay.
He walked in, I saw him walk in another one, but he was at that one.
He was at the Louis Vuitton one.
Yeah, it was funny.
You walk and do stand-up.
That was the concept.
That's why there was a bunch of comics out there, right?
Oh.
And so I walked on stage.
And I go on, it's great to be here at a man's fashion week.
Now I got some, like, jokes planned or whatever like that.
And I go, it's great to be here at, you know, New York, no, Paris Fashion Week.
And then all of a sudden I hear a baby cry, right?
So my knee-jerk reaction when I see the baby is to go for the joke, which is,
yo, this ain't the Balenciaga show.
You know, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying?
And I'm like, what's up with you made.
I mean, that was a good one.
That was a good one.
Fantastic.
Look, look, and I'm like cock ready to go.
I hear the baby cry.
My brain starts working.
I go, ooh, it's about to shut it down.
I look over.
Baby's on Kodak's lap.
That's Kodak's baby.
Oh.
Pivot to a different direction.
I don't need the smoke to come over here.
Kodak wouldn't even have got the joke, I don't think.
He might not have got the joke.
I don't think he would have explained to him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I would have got a nice message.
I'm going to tell you something.
Kodak is the goal, and I was watching that video and I was thinking to myself,
man, do people realize how dope Kodak Black is?
Not just as a personality, but as a rapper, as an artist.
Like the thing that warm my heart the most,
and I know you know these true hip-hop heads.
Oh, man, you're talking about Kodak Black.
I look at Kodak Black the same way I look at Kendrick Lamar.
I'm not even joking.
I feel like they're both two different levels of prolific.
And they're telling similar stories just from different places.
They're just two different versions of the same kid from the hood.
Is he
Florida's biggie?
Or no.
No.
No, no.
You're not seeing you.
Storytelling ability.
God damn.
You just jumped off the balcony.
You a Drake fan?
Why would you just jump off the balcony like that?
Why? Is that a bad comparison to compare to him in that way?
I mean, his skill, his musicality, his storytelling ability?
No, I mean, I'm going to get at the Ross.
If we're doing like just Florida rappers that put you in the vein of a biggie, I'm going to get at the Ross.
But because of physique or because of like their ability to rap?
No, lyrics.
Lyrical storytelling all of that.
Fair enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lyrical storytelling all of that.
I don't know, listen.
You know what I don't know.
I know people hear that.
They'd be like,
Kendrick and Kodak.
I'm just,
all I'm simply saying is there are two different levels of prolific.
Like,
they're two sides of the same coin.
That's why I made so much sense to me when Kendrick got Kodak to narrate his album.
You know what I mean?
I was like,
oh, that's incredible.
See, I'm from South Carolina.
So I grew up off Project Pat.
I love Project Pat.
Just like I love Jake.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So I love when 21 Savage and Jay Cole.
collaborate. I love when Drake and 21 collaborate. You know what I mean? Drake is the lyricists.
21 is a different type of lyricist to me. I love when Kendrick and, you know,
a Kodak Black collaborate on, on that Silent Hill record. Like, that shit makes so much sense to me.
Yeah. So much. There's a cool thing. You can tell he just loves music.
Yes. He's just such a musical dude. There was a cool moment when,
so Mateo Lane went on shade. Shout out Mateo. You know Mattel.
The Mateo. Proud member of the LGBTQ Disney Plus. Clu,
Luke, Luke, Luke.
Yeah.
So he goes on stage and he starts his step by doing opera.
He's a trained opera singer.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
So he goes up and he starts, I was about to say, he starts blowing.
And he goes out and he starts seeing opera.
And there's a crowd, 1,300 people, Kodak, the first person to get up and just start
vibed to the fucking opera.
Yeah.
And it was one thing I saw and I was like, oh, he just loves music.
He's a music.
You can hear it.
Yeah, exactly.
Listen to his music.
You can hear the melodies.
His music.
is crazy. You can hear it, man.
Salutea go to Kodak, Kodak, Black.
Shout to Kodak. What about you? Man, I tried to get you to Paris.
You definitely tried to get me to Paris, but I tell you, I got kids, bro. I can't just
up and go to Paris. My daughter had a cheerleading competition this weekend.
Yeah. I was in Atlantic City while y'all was in Paris.
Ooh. I love Atlantic City.
Okay. Okay. Hot take. Hot take.
Hot take. And I'll tell you why. I told my wife this yesterday.
You have to be very cognizant of where you go and feel silence.
You have to be very cognizant of where you go and experience stillness.
And for whatever reason, when I'm in Atlantic City, you know, I love the, I'm not going to say the hotel, I love to stay, but I love staying at this one hotel.
People see me there all the time.
And it's just something about it.
That's just a cool vibe where I could literally sit in my room and just write.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like if I was to go away, I've never gone away on a writer's retreat, but if I was to go away on a writer's retreat, I would go to Atlantic City.
Whenever I go to Atlantic City, it's just the level of stillness that I experienced.
that it just helps me to create.
Why do you think?
I do not know.
Like, I really don't know.
Like, there's no place in particular in Atlantic City that I like to eat at.
You know what I mean?
There's no food I can point to.
Where at Taylor?
Taylor from Philly.
Where you like to eat at in Atlantic City?
Oh, Kelsey's?
No, no, I've been to Kelsey's.
I go to Kelsey's a lot.
I like Kelsey.
But, I mean, I don't, no disrespect to Kelsey's.
I like Kelsey's.
But I don't, I don't crave it.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's not like, oh, I got to get Kelsey's when I go there, you know?
But it's just something about Atlantic City that,
gives me a level of stillness.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is, man.
I really don't.
And I've got,
because my daughter goes there
so much for cheerleading competition,
you know,
I've been there so many times
that there's been a lot of moments
that I can remember happening.
Like I was in Atlantic City
when I heard about Kobe passing.
You know what I mean?
Like little stuff like that
and it was weird because I'm like,
damn, imagine just waking up on a Sunday morning
and going to do an extracurricular activity,
you know,
going to do something with your daughter
that she enjoys doing,
and then something like that's happening.
So you know my anxiety
is through the roof that whole son.
But, yeah, it's just a level of stillness I get when I go to Atlanta City.
Maybe there's a stillness that comes to the fact that, like, you're in a casino, there's cameras everywhere, nobody's going to try some dumb shit, there's security everywhere.
So there's like, there's a level of security that you probably don't experience on every day.
It's not about the security.
It's literally about my brain is quiet in Atlantic City.
I do not know why.
I'm just very aware of my energy when I'm in Atlantic City.
So salute Atlantic City.
We got our own day in Atlantic City, too, man.
The man Marty Smalls, he gave the Breakfast Club our own day.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, a few years ago, like three, four years ago.
How is the new host search for the Breakfast Club going?
You know, that's interesting.
I don't know if it's necessarily a new host search.
I may not search, but how is the...
I love it.
You know, they...
I don't want to call a revolving door, but, like...
It's only been three.
Rotating.
Rotating...
It's only been three.
Who's your favorite so far?
So far?
Yeah.
I like all of them for different reasons.
Okay, go.
I like Jason Lee for the rumor report.
I like Angela Rye and Tiffany Cross for elevated conversations about politics.
You know, we do a segment called Front Page News, but we talk about the headlines.
You know what I mean?
So when we're talking about those headlines that's happening, the political stuff, they're perfect for that.
And, like, Lala is, her background is radio.
Like, she comes from radio.
That's how Lala got started in the entertainment industry.
Like, I've been knowing Lala for years, you know, through radio.
And then I got history with all of those people.
like Jason Lee, me and Jason Lee, people don't know me and Jason Lee did a pilot for Sirius XM 13 years ago.
Wow.
No, no, no, longer.
Like 14, 15 years ago, because I was fired when we did that pilot.
It was me, Jason Lee, I think Little Moe and Claudia Jordan.
Or maybe it was Claudia and Melissa Ford.
I don't remember, but I know it didn't get picked up.
Yeah.
You know, people know Angela Wright.
That's my good sister, you know, and her and Tiffany are super cool.
And me and Lala, same thing.
Me and Lala, go back to radio.
but Lala, one of the first people to give me
a major television look when I was on her reality show.
You went on that date?
No, that was a different reality show.
That was the SWV show.
Oh, yeah, but wasn't Lala?
Lala was Lala's full-court life.
I thought that you went on a date with one of her friends or something.
No, I was one of her lesbian friends on the show.
It was me, dice, pole, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like I have history with all of them.
You know, what's going to be interesting is when we start bringing people in there,
there's no history with it.
You know?
Who's the first person you got like that?
I don't want to say.
It's next week, though.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I mean, I know the person, but we don't have no.
Like, I can't, like, I can look to mad moments with me and Laa that go way back.
Like, even this morning on the radio when I was talking about, the last time I was in the script club was when Ghana.
When we went to Ghana and we was all in the script club together.
But before that, the last time I can remember being in the script club was in Miami with Lala.
Like, 11, 12 years ago.
You know what I mean?
Me, Lala, Trina, Dice.
and I think Rico Love at G5.
So, like we, I mean, I'm saying,
I got history with these people.
The person that's coming next week,
I have zero history when I know them.
And, you know, we've interviewed with,
I've interviewed them before, but I don't know them.
But I enjoy it, man.
It's just new energy every week.
New energy is fun.
It's very fun.
Yeah.
You know, and it's like,
yo, when you see first take,
and I just finished reading Stephen A. Smith's book.
And, you know, Stephen A. Smith talks about how,
you know, when Skip Bayliss left and then they bought in Max Kellerman,
and he talks about why him and Max didn't work,
but then he talks about,
You know how now it's like a committee.
So it's all of these different people coming in all the time
and everybody's got different opinions.
It's like, you know, you work with people for a certain amount of time.
You kind of know what they expect to a certain extent.
So when it's different people all the time, you don't know what's going to come out of somebody's mouth, you know?
I mean, I'm enjoying it.
I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
But people, boy, the internet is a crazy, crazy place.
Because the internet, y'all love every, you all love every,
single person that comes and y'all hate every single person that comes for example and y'all want every
it's like every person that comes no need to look for anybody else but they did that with jace leet jakely was the first
person shit yeah like what are you like what are you talking about you know what i mean like give it a moment
like let things breathe like let's let's revisit this conversation six months from now yeah a year from
that there's been a plethora of people yeah that have come through but no i'm i'm enjoying it i'm enjoying it
Go back to that story about the LGBT community,
because this is interesting,
how the LGBT community allegedly is mad at Beyonce.
Wait, wait, why would the LG HDTV community be mad at Maloney?
It's wild, right? For somebody who's been an ally.
Their whole career.
Like, you know this person is an ally, but they say she's facing,
I don't even know.
By the way, when I hear this shit, I take it with a grain of salt.
She's facing backlash for performing a private show in Dubai.
Backlash nowadays just means 10 tweets, okay?
but she's facing criticism for accepting a reported 24 million to perform at the launch of a luxury hotel in Dubai.
Yeah, the Atlantis.
Everybody was there.
That shit wasn't a private show.
It was 1,500 people.
Because homosexuality remains a crime punishable by death in the United Arab word.
I can't pronounce.
What's that word?
Emirates.
Yeah.
With some people noting the singers positioning as a supposed, who!
LGBTQIA plus ally.
Thoughts.
I mean, isn't gay marriage illegal in tons of countries?
Like, she's she not performed there as well?
Yeah.
Like, I don't know.
I mean, I understand, like, being frustrated by this because you'd want her to essentially
boycott these places in support of you and your cause.
Well, at the same time, she can go there and get $24 million and then continue to promote
you and your cause with that kind of money.
That's right.
That's right.
And what about states in America that have anti-LGBQIA plus legislation?
Especially in regards to transgender.
What about states in America that got anti,
well, what some people would say is anti-woman legislator?
Absolutely.
You know what I mean?
So should not go there?
You go find a problem with every single country, city, state,
so there's no place to perform.
That's right.
If you look under the hood, you can find some legislation
in this state or country or even town
that you may not necessarily agree with.
So you know what I say?
What's that?
Let's find pockets of just.
joy where we can.
Yeah.
You know where you can find pockets of joy at a fucking Beyonce concert.
Yeah.
Let's all come together to LGBTQIA, LGBTIA, LGBTIA allies.
And if you don't think every gay motherfucker in the United Arab Emirates wasn't at that show,
you're out your goddip.
Popping that poom-pum for goon.
Damn right.
You know what I'm saying?
Popping that boy boom.
What is it called?
You know, Alex.
Burka.
What's that boy boom-pum called?
Is that what it's called?
Oh, Bussy.
Busy.
Popping that.
Fuck, I know.
Why do you know about that?
He's a professor in queer studies now.
You're a professor in queer studies?
Queer theory.
Queer theory, yeah.
Queer theory.
You know the A in queer theory stands for?
What's it?
What?
Alex.
You are the A and LGBT.
You know, there's no A in queer theory.
That's, I know.
Exactly.
That's when two thoughts, that's the intersectionality of two thoughts.
That is it.
That was the intersectionality of two thoughts.
For sure.
I am, I am a professor in queer theory.
How do I get my doctor in that?
just found out what queer theory is yesterday because I was listening to Ron DeSantis, Big Ron, Ron, Ron, you know, talk about why he doesn't want the African-American. Did you, do we have that audio, Taylor? Why he doesn't want the African-American studies. Do we have that story? He doesn't want African-American studies? In Florida, they shut it down. The Florida Department of Education. It's a specific title, though. What is it called? African-American AP. What is it? Wait, are you talking about that, that other thing where you're like, you do your, you teach?
the kids critical race theory or whatever?
That's different than African-American studies.
No, no, no, it's not that.
It's part of it.
That's under it.
Yeah, there it goes.
The Sanchez says Florida rejected new AP course
on African-American studies
for imposing political agenda.
Now, under the political agenda,
they feel like things like critical race theory,
what I just found out about queer theory.
AP class means advanced placement.
So basically you get college credit during high school.
Yeah, and they say in political movements
that advocated for abolishing prisons.
Now, when you hear Ron and St. Just speak on it, like when you said that's a political agenda, that's the wrong side of the line for Florida standards. You have the audio? Okay.
You know, as you know, in the state of Florida, our education standards not only don't prevent,
but they require teaching black history, all the important things.
That's part of our core curriculum.
This was a separate course on top of that for advanced placement credit.
And the issue is we have guidelines and standards in Florida.
We want education, not indoctrination.
If you fall on the side of indoctrination, we're going to decline.
If it's education, then we will do this course.
So when I heard it didn't meet the standard.
I figured, yeah, they may be doing serious.
It's way more than that.
This course on Black History, what's one of the lessons about?
Queer Theory.
Now, who would say that an important part of Black History is queer theory?
That is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids.
And so when you look to see they have stuff about intersectionality, abolishing prisons, that's a political agenda.
And so we're on, that's the wrong side of the line for Florida standards.
We believe in teaching kids facts and how to think, but we don't believe they should have an agenda imposed on them.
When you try to use black history to shoehorn in queer theory, you are clearly trying to use that for political purposes.
Okay, so a couple real quick things on us.
One, this is a very, one, we do teach political agendas in our education.
We just all agree, and by we, I don't know who we is, but like, you want to?
It is agreed that like this is the agenda of America and this will be taught within our school system.
I like the fact that he says we do teach African American history within our school systems.
And the reason he's stopping it wasn't means they're teaching black things is because they look like they were trying to shoehorn new political beliefs into a course that would have coverage because no politician would want to take down a black history course.
because they're not taking it down for teaching black stuff.
They're taking it down for trying to shoehorn other, I guess, ideological points of view into an educational course for high school schools.
What's interesting about this is this is the exact thing that politicians do with their bills.
They call a bill the don't hit women bill.
Yeah.
And then they shoehorn in.
Absolutely.
Hey, let's make sure rich people don't pay any taxes at all.
And then it forces these politicians to be like, I vote no for the don't hit women bill.
That's what happened with the 94 crime bill, right?
The 94 crime bill, Bernie Sanders voted for it.
But when you asked Bernie, why did you vote for the 94 crime bill?
He said because there was a bill in there against, a bill in there that was against violence against women.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
So he was like I was voting for that.
Yep.
Right?
That's why when I said that, you know, when you hear Ron DeSantis say why he doesn't agree with this, it sounds good on his face, right?
Like, oh, because I don't want any political agendas being pushed.
Yeah.
You don't want to hear it.
But any.
But the reality is when you understand what queer theory is, you realize, no, queer theory is black history.
And I had to ask the question.
I had to ask somebody yesterday.
I'm like, well, what is queer theory?
Because, you know, when you hear it, you're like, is somebody teaching my kid to be gay?
I'm just, listen, I'm a country guy from the south.
So if you, you know what I'm saying?
I can see people in Florida.
Like, I don't want my kids being taught about no queers in school.
Like, I can see it immediately, right?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
No, there's nothing wrong with it.
I mean, I'm speaking from the perspective of somebody from...
Damn, Al, why you so defensive about that specific?
I'm just, you know, helping it.
I get what you say.
I get what you say.
No, he's right.
He's right, because somebody will take that one clip and just see me on the line.
I don't want to give me to talk about kids.
They take everything else, right?
So, but black history is gay.
I mean, I don't want anybody teaching my kids how to be gay.
But no, that's not what's being taught.
Black history, some black history is...
I also don't want anybody teaching my kids how to be straight.
I don't want my kids being taught about sexual.
Teach my kids how to fuck or who to fuck.
I'm with you.
I don't mind sex ed classes.
Sex ed classes are great.
Yeah, yeah.
Sex ed is different than teaching someone.
All that identity is straight.
I'm with you.
The identity, sexuality stuff, honestly, I don't think that has any place in school because it causes too much content.
I'm going to teach my kid how to be gay.
No, I think that I teach my kid how to be gay.
Wouldn't you rather your child come to you?
Say again?
You would rather your child come to you as a parent.
And then you can have that conversation.
with your child and then instilling your child the confidence they need to go out into the world.
But what I was saying about this is a queer theory, and I asked somebody what it is yesterday,
and they said, oh, it's just a theory that is discussing sexuality and identity.
And it was like, for example, they might discuss the role James Baldwin's blackness and gayness
played in his life, or Bayard Ruston, right? And I'm like, oh, well, that makes sense.
You know what I mean? But the reality is, and I could be wrong, correct me if I'm wrong,
I never saw James Baldwin
R. Bayard Rustin lead with their sexuality.
It was all about blackness first.
Like if you go and you watch some of those, you know,
debates between, well, not even debates,
but panel discussions between Malcolm Max, Bayard Rustin,
James Baldwin is some of the most insightful, you know,
intellectual conversation you're ever going to hear.
You know what I mean?
Now, Chris brought up a good point.
Chris said, well, did they not talk about their sexuality
because they didn't want to or they couldn't?
Maybe it describes too while.
Maybe they couldn't back then.
You know what I mean?
Like that was what the 50s and the 60s.
You're asking people to accept a lot at that point.
Exactly.
And they're going to be certain black people to go, wait, that guy's gay.
All right, I'm not listening to that.
A lot of us didn't even realize Baldwin was gay.
At least for me, I didn't realize that the way much later in life.
I didn't know until you said right now.
No.
Nor did I care.
To me, he's an author.
He's one of the most brilliant people you're ever going to hear from.
I didn't even know he's black.
Man, shit.
I didn't know he's black
I didn't know, I didn't know
You're lying
But James Baldwin
But I'll tell you why
Alex's grandfather
Is black bro?
Shut up, man
But come on
He was a good shooter too
He definitely was
But I'll also tell you why that's important
Right?
Because you can't even discuss
This generation
Of black history movements
At least the last 10, 15 years
Without discussing BLM
BLM was founded by people in the LGBTQ community, right?
And also BLM part of their agenda, it wasn't just blackness.
Part of their agenda was, you know, advancing rights for the LGBTQ.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
So to me, it's like having those conversations is good because it shows how we've always stood on the front lines together.
That is 100% true.
You know, it's also okay to discuss things in a vacuum.
For example, if you're learning how to be a specific type of.
doctor, a dermatologist. Like, you learn everything about the skin and you don't have to learn about,
you know, the penis, like, and being a urologist. And like some of that stuff isn't, you know,
important to you. That's right. Yes. Does, you know, some thing that happens in the body that
affects your penis also affect your skin? I'm sure. Yeah. But it would be a distraction,
a distraction to urologist to learn about all this dermatology. That's right. So it's okay to
separate those things. We do it in the sciences all the time. And we can do it in the social sciences as well.
And this is an advanced course.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So you would dig a little deeper.
You know, you would dig a little deeper about James Baldwin and, you know, the intersectionality between his sexuality and his race.
And, you know, even having the conversation about why he probably couldn't speak about it more freely, you know, back then.
We were talking about now.
Wasn't a distraction.
Like, we don't know.
Yeah.
And we won't know if we don't have these discussions and teach these courses.
But I think that is very important to talk about the James Ball with the Bayard Rustin.
That famous debate.
he was in New York.
I think he's speaking up
at like the 92nd Street Y or something like that.
James Baldwin.
Who was the debate with?
And I forget the guy that he's debating,
but he talks about it,
and then he says that he's,
he's a homosexual.
Okay.
And,
and it was Buckley, right?
And he says he's a homosexual.
And then the crowd,
there's a guy in the crowd that just goes,
Hey, yo!
Yo!
Hey, yo!
You heard that?
That is why.
Oh, gay, yo.
Hey, yo, Jay's Bull.
You're wilding for that one, yo.
Jay, yo.
That would be the quintessential New York thing to do it, right?
It was uptown, bro.
I wonder what the New York Paws was back in the day.
What was the Ayo back in the day?
Oh, we know what it was.
Never mind.
You bet.
Shut up.
We know what it was.
We know exactly.
Now, I don't know why I even ask that question.
We know exactly what it was in the 70s, 80s,
and 90s.
Anyway.
My God.
Moving right along.
Amy Roeback said she was blindsided.
Oh, no.
By the extent of T.J. Holmes alleged affair, this can't be real, right?
This can't be real.
Remember, did we have the conversation here
where I said they were going to demonize T.J. Holmes for this?
Are we still talking about these good morning America, motherfucker?
It's just wild to me that all of a sudden,
they digging up information.
Oh, T.J. Holmes, you know, slept with another worker at G.M.
I'm like, well, what?
Dig up some stuff on Amy.
I'm sure you can find some stuff on her.
Oh, he was fucking multiple people at work?
Well, I saw one.
I saw one other one.
Yeah, and that's what they're saying.
They're saying eight.
Well, see, and the story came out this morning that Amy was blindsided.
Now it says the source tells page six that Amy was not blindsided as the report claims.
At least by Holmes' relationship with producer, the young lady, they don't like to say her name for whatever reason, which I think is, I don't understand that.
I don't understand not saying their name, but saying his name.
Yeah, I don't get it.
The insider claims he was.
upfront with her regarding their former relations.
Page 6 has reached out to reps for rollback and homes for Carmen.
This is wild, bro.
It's like, yeah, you can't be shocked to cheat or cheated.
He was cheating?
Wasn't he?
Wasn't that the whole big deal?
Nah, black men don't cheat, bro.
Oh, true.
My bad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do they teach that in your queer class?
Yeah.
That's one of the main lessons.
Yes.
Yes.
That's one of the main lessons.
What are you talking about?
That's one of the main lessons.
He's saying all the schools, man.
In queer theory, black men don't cheat.
That's why Desanta's so pissed off.
Why?
Because he's like, oh, he said, we don't cheat neither,
but what the fuck?
Trump trying to out me.
Like, white men don't cheat neither, too.
Oh, my God, man.
What else?
Drake fan tried to fly at a concert.
That was cool.
Yeah, but, you know, we forget that Drake fans are owls, bro.
No, for real, we don't think about that enough.
Y'all laughing, but it's just true.
Like somebody trying to bring it back to the essence.
I'm serious.
Do you realize if you see a baby owl on the ground,
it's because they were trying to fly?
That is a fact.
I'm from the country.
I know these things.
Oh, really?
If you see a baby owl on the ground,
it's only because that baby owl was trying to fly,
and it takes a few weeks for them to learn how to fly.
Oh, wow.
That's a fact.
So that was just a young owl trying to fly at a drink concert.
I don't see the problem.
Did you have any friends that went to the concert?
Oh, yeah.
I had a bunch of friends that went to the conference.
And what was the feedback?
Yeah, they loved it.
Everybody, I loved it.
He just crushed it, huh?
Yeah, actually Naila and.
Oh, yeah, I saw Nila.
Yeah, Nila and Bianca went,
salute the Big Bee from the BX.
Yeah, they went to the concert.
You know, there's the people that went Saturday as well.
They just enjoyed it.
They just thought it was a good show.
Listen, man, he's a beast.
The guy's a guest.
Yes.
I don't care.
I don't, he's not, Drake has never been my cup of tea.
Y'all know that.
I like when he raps, you know, don't care for the singing and everything,
but I've been to a Drake show.
I went to Drake at the Garden.
And when I went to Drake at the Garden, I was like, oh, he's, I get it.
Yeah.
I get it.
Like, I can't think of too many rappers who can run the gamut like him with music.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I mean, yeah, it's not close.
It's not even close.
And when he does Afro beats, it's old.
Because you know, you know that's the next genre of music.
Drake going to jump on.
You know the Afro Beach is coming.
Really?
Yeah.
What is Afro beats?
Afro beats is going to be...
Man, did I have a joke that I can't say?
Man, did I have a joke that I can't say?
We really don't need you to say it.
But we don't have to cut anything so far in this episode.
So I'm just not going to say it.
Okay, let me see if it's funny, though.
Say it.
We're going to bleep it.
It's good.
Be honest, it's good.
The kid is good, man.
He's good.
He's good.
I get it.
Oh, come on, man.
Come on.
That's funny, bro.
It's funny.
I mean, what he said is it funny.
But what I said is.
The context is funny.
It's funny.
Somebody might think that.
If it was an alien that was just learning about all these things.
If an alien was just learning about all these.
Aliens was like, that's why we're here.
We're here to stop that shit.
We heard it was getting more popular.
Drake was doing.
Everybody's going to do it
We didn't know Drake was even
You go out me
You go out me
Oh my God
You're going out me now
You go out me now
No you're going to bleak both of me
But it's good, bro
But Afro Beach
Afro Beach is absolutely
going to be the biggest genre of
Black music song
Really?
100%.
I see it coming
I see it coming
Wow
Hip-hop, I love hip-hop, but hip-hop, man, man.
Hip-hop is becoming a death style in a lot of ways.
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, there was a time where we all used to just look at.
Afterbeats feels more positive.
It's very fast, what I'm saying.
When you got people actually getting killed all the time and these fights all the time
and people overdosing from drugs, like I see people moving to an alternative.
And I don't even think people realize it.
Turn it on the radio right now.
You're going to hear so much Afrobeats playing?
Bro, I was listening to Hamburger, man.
And he was fucking...
What the fuck is ham?
hamburger man.
Whatever the guy's name is.
Who?
Was it?
Oh, Burner Boy.
Burn a boy.
How do you get Hamburger Man out of Burner Boy?
I thought it was Burger Man.
Oh, oh.
That shit is so far.
That's my new favorite artist.
I saw Burner Boy in, um.
Yeah, where's kid?
Was it fired too.
I saw Burn a boy in Ghana.
I went to Afrochello.
He was the last person that performed.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Tor the roof off the place?
I mean, come on.
He's a superstar over there.
Yeah.
I mean, he's a superstar here.
Yeah, the music is fantastic.
But it's absolutely, I think, going to be the biggest genre of black music.
which is ultimately going to end up being the biggest, you know,
genre of music in the world.
Like Ed Shearing and Burnaboy got a song that's so fire.
What's the name of it?
I can't remember the name of it right now,
but that shit is fire.
You know what I mean?
Like, like, Afro Beach is a thing,
and it's only a matter of time.
Like, it's already taking it over.
Like, turn your radio on.
Every other song is going to be an Afro Beach song.
Yeah.
No, you do see the pop there.
Do you think that...
Own it.
Say again?
That song, own it.
Own it.
What's the own it?
That's the name of the Ed Sharon and Burner Boy song.
Oh, shit.
Fire.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I just think it's cool that like
finally has something that they could like connect on.
All right, man.
This guy, man. This guy.
Speaking of Afro beat, Shannon Sharp wanted to fight bad basketball players.
Shannon Sharp wanted to fight the whole Memphis Grizzlies.
hamburger man when you need him, bro.
He got to pacify this whole situation.
What is that song?
Last, last.
Last, last.
Now, everybody go get breakfast.
Last, last.
Last, last.
You know what I liked about this?
What?
Nothing.
I didn't like nothing about this Shannon Sharp altercation, man.
Okay.
You know why?
Because I need Shannon to have.
No, I'm going to tell you what I do like about it.
I like the fact that him and his, him and,
T. Morant.
John Morant's father pieced it up at this.
I like that.
Two OGs, man.
And I don't even know what this led to,
but I got to see Shannon Sharp do this to Skip Baylor's just once.
Oh, check them one time.
Just one time.
I want to see people pull Shannon away from Skip just once.
You know what I mean?
Just one time for the culture.
Yeah.
You know, I want to see that look back, mean mug at Skip one time.
Put some fear and skip a little bit, man.
That's another thing I like about Stephen A's book.
You're reading Stephen A's book.
Steven's talking about all the times.
He's been like,
reprimanded and suspended for shit that he said.
And when you read, you know, when you remember these moments, you're like,
did that really warrant a suspension?
Like, I mean, and he's lost opportunities.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
He was supposed to be the, uh, he was supposed to get sports center before Michael and Jamel.
But he lost the sports center gig because of, uh, something he said about Aisha Curry and
Savannah James.
You know what I mean?
Like he pitied them against each other, you know, like, like, like he'd say that he did
with like Rihanna and Beyonce kind of.
Right, you know.
But that's what he hates.
He hates when people say, and we talk about this on a breakfast club.
He's on a breakfast club yesterday.
But he talks about how he hates when people say, I'm pitting Rihanna against Beyonce or
I'm pitting black women against each other.
What I was trying to explain to him was intention versus impact.
That may not be your intention, but that's still how it comes off.
You know what I'm saying?
If I say Adam Sandler can't fuck with Andrew Shultz, bang, bang, bang.
That's me pitting Andrew.
Against Adamson.
Against Adam Sand.
You know what I mean?
Like it just is what it is.
Like whether that's my intention or not.
Respect the OG, man.
Adam Sand or the motherfucker.
But that's my point.
And so it's just like, yeah, but Skip never got in trouble for anything.
Wow.
Take Skip Bayless.
Never got in trouble.
And I had to ask Stephen now.
I'm like, yo, did Skip ever get in trouble for anything?
And he was like, no.
And why do you think that is?
Because he's white.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
He is white.
Yeah.
Yes, but he never got in trouble.
Not only did he never get in trouble for anything,
when Stephen A got suspended,
Skip said, well, I'm not coming back until he comes back.
So he supported Stephen A.
Yeah, supported Stephen A.
It didn't come to work for a whole week.
Wow.
And nothing happened to him.
Wow.
You know what I'm saying?
I respect it.
You know what I respect the stands he took, but damn.
It's just like, yo, was there a double standard of what?
Yeah.
And I also think it's corny, you know,
if my job is to debate and my job is to give my
opinion, you know, that means my job is to be polarizing.
That means my job is to say things that's probably going to rub people the wrong way.
When I rub people the wrong way, don't suspend me or make me, or take away an opportunity
for me.
This is my job.
This is what I'm here to do.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's interesting to me that they would, because they've built around him.
Like, to me, he's the king of ESPN.
Did you know he got fired?
From ESPN?
Stephen A. Smith?
Yes.
Wow.
I didn't know that either.
He got fired in like 2009.
He didn't come back to like 2011.
That only did he get fired, got fired, and they didn't want him on television, period.
Wow.
So he had to do radio or something like that when he came right?
And that was a stretch.
That's how he got back in.
He got back in because of radio.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I didn't know that either.
It's so much shit, I'm like, damn, I didn't know that.
Does he have a little memoir coming out?
It's out.
It's called Scray Shooter.
It's a phenomenal read, man.
Phenomenal read for a number of reasons.
And number one, you don't know anything about Stephen A's person.
What's the name of it?
It's great shooter.
Really?
No, because Alec Baldwin has a book coming out.
Yeah.
No, I'm serious.
He has a book coming.
You just know, you just know his brain working.
I'm like, oh, here we go.
Where we going?
You know, luckily he kept it to Alex Baldwin.
He kept to Alec Baldwin, dude.
There's some other places he could have went this week.
Not me?
Not me.
Not me.
Good, good. I'm glad.
Not me.
You know?
I'm just out here.
But, um.
But, no, it's a phenomenal book for a number of reasons.
And the first reason is because you don't hear anything about Stephen A's private life ever.
Yeah.
Would you know Stephen A had two baby mommas?
God.
Exactly.
He had Taylor and they're like, what?
Yes.
Even they got two baby mommas.
Is he with any of them now?
No.
Wow.
Stephen A say he was out here.
He talks about how he's not getting married and why.
And it's because of, you know, what he saw his father put his mom to.
Like, the book is really, it's really fascinating.
What about the snow bunnies?
He's talking about the snow?
Is he into the snow?
I don't know, you know.
That's a good question.
You didn't ask if he was into the snow?
Nah,
I don't be can't about stuff like that.
Really?
No, no, no, no.
I care when it's obvious.
If you don't think Stephen A's into the snow?
No, I don't actually.
Bro, you don't get a hairline like that, okay?
No, you do have a hallow like that when you hit you?
You think so?
Yes.
If you into the snow?
Yeah, they don't know anything about a hair lot.
They don't know anything about us.
Yeah, you right?
Black woman would have made you shave it off a long ago.
No, no.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
But a black woman will love you regardless.
Say again.
Black women will love you regardless.
He's not looking for a grip.
He's looking for a grip.
He is.
He is.
He is.
No, I don't know.
I never thought about it with Stephen.
But probably because Stephen ain't out parading it.
If you're a guy that's out parading your women, then it's different.
Then it's different.
You know what I mean?
If he was out here parading with the snow bunnies marching with him, you know what I?
He's not doing that.
Snow Bunny Lives Matter.
That's different.
You know what I mean?
It's not funny.
Not these lives.
For real, man.
But he's into some winter activities.
I just put it that way.
Maybe, I don't know.
I think he's out there sledding, maybe snowmobiling.
You think so?
Absolutely.
Nah, y'all can't put that on, Stephen.
I'm just, I'm not going to put it past him.
He might be into the luge.
Why you think that?
I'm just saying, it's Stephen A. Smith.
Because he loves basketball?
I mean, my man loves basketball, but he also might like that.
That Colombian.
Stephen reminds me, he seemed like a brother that loves sisters, man.
No, I think he also like sisters.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I don't think he discriminates at this age.
At this age, you should be able to dabble in
whatever the fuck you want.
You already got two baby mamas.
You already got two black kids?
We don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did ask them that,
though.
I was like,
what does Disney think of that?
Ooh.
You know what I mean?
Ooh,
yeah.
What is that?
Uh,
I forgot.
Well,
Disney has an issue with it.
Then they can't play NBA games anymore.
What you mean?
What you're saying if they have an issue with, like,
children out of wedlock or whatever?
Oh, yeah.
Like, you know, like, I'm just, like, clearly.
I got a chance for all your NBA games.
It's over.
It's like,
you're out of the sports game.
I don't think Mickey and Minnie were ever married.
I don't think so.
Definitely not.
I don't think Mickey and Minnie were ever married, bro.
Definitely.
Did Mickey and Minnie ever have kids?
We don't know.
Stephen A's the motherfucking goat, bro.
He's the...
I can't even...
I was about to say something,
but then I don't want to disrespect
any of the OGs, the Howard CoSells of the world.
No, no, no.
You could say it.
You can say it.
It's different.
He might be the greatest sports cap.
That's the of all time, bro.
Of all time.
The energy, the output, the amount of content that he's put out, the amount of hours.
Yeah.
In terms of sports and the passion and delivery every single fucking time.
He's the bar.
Bro, when I saw him during the pandemic when there was no sports on.
Yeah.
Still finding a way to talk about sports?
Yeah.
Every day.
But you realize and you realize when he reads his book,
it's because he loves so many things outside of sports.
So he could talk about them through the lens of sports you're saying?
He said he actually enjoys talking about politics just as much as he enjoys talking about sports.
That's what he said in his book.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah, he loves a lot of different things and he likes talking about a lot of different topics.
But I'm saying all that to say, go pick up Stephen A. Smith's book.
Actually, you know what?
I'm bugging.
Okay.
Plug. Imagine Stephen A. as a political pundit.
That would be crazy.
You think so?
That would be good.
He'd be pissing off so many people if he was.
Stephen A Smith's great studa.
A memoir of second chances and first takes.
You just had a T and shoot.
What I said?
I don't know what you just said.
I know what you just said.
Straight shooting?
I got no clue what you just said.
I forgot the H?
You know what it sounded like?
You ever like, you ever like fuck the night before and then you pee in the morning it goes everywhere?
That's what it just sounded like.
The little piece of cump sticking on your whole.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Straight suitor.
Yeah.
But go get straight suited, man.
It's a great.
Even then.
Doug.
It's a great book, man.
That's one of them things.
Oh, my God.
Let's pay some bills, man.
Let's do it.
Let's take a break and pay some bills.

Whether you work in a managing everyday task,
taking care of your own mental health has never been easier, all right?
Working through things in therapy can be tough,
but connecting where the therapist isn't.
Plus, you can get help with or without insurance, okay?
Most insured members only pay $25 co-pay or less.

man, so I'm always point you in the right direction
of where you can get some affordable therapy.
Talkspace is it.
I wholeheartedly recommend talk space for therapy.
I know some people might say,
oh, but, you know, I want to go sit on the couch
and I want to talk to somebody face to face.
You might not always be able to do that.
You might not have the time to do that.
You know, I've been doing, you know,
more Zoom sessions with my new therapist than anything
because my new therapist is all the way in Los Angeles.
And let me tell you something.
These sessions I'll be having with this individual over Zoom,
whoa, they're more enlightening.
I'm not to say more enlightening because my first therapist was great,
but I've learned a lot.

I got a church announcement.
What you got?
this Friday, which is, hopefully this comes out before Friday, but this Friday, I think I got a couple lines in this new Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill.
Yay, I heard you do. I heard you do. I heard you do. I heard you do. Our guy DJ head saw it.
Okay. Yeah. And actually hit head. And I said, yo, they kept Schultz in. And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot the scene. Let me see what? You want me to tell people the scene? He said? Or you don't. I don't care. What did he say to me? I think I have an idea.
Let me tell you. He said.
What did Hed say?
Head said,
nah, he's in it.
They kept his lines too.
Oh, good.
Oh, he actually didn't tell me what it was.
Oh, no, he did.
I don't know if he was joking, though.
I said, with Schultz and you people,
he said, hell yeah, doing mad coke.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's true.
There's also that.
Okay.
I didn't know.
That's what he said.
He said, he said they kept your lines in there, too.
So go check it out, man.
It was definitely, obviously, like,
bucket list to be in a movie with Eddie Murphy.
is the reason I did comedy, so, or I do comedy.
So that, that was kind of crazy.
And, yeah, it's just, I mean, a lot of stars in this thing, like a lot of very talented people.
So make sure you go check that out Friday on Netflix.
Kenya got you on a couple of them things.
Yo, man, Kenya's been fucking awesome to me, man.
So, yeah, white man can't jump.
Yeah.
Coming out.
Did you know Snoop?
Yeah, and then the Underdogs movie was Snoop.
That would be cool.
I think that's some more.
You and there.
A lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we'll see what, we'll see what goes down with that, man.
but I was seeing some stuff from the
the white man can't jump movie as well
so I have some stuff in there
significant roles in that too
no that's more just kind of like me popping in
and you know being funny and popping out
but yeah it's it's cool man
it's been definitely cool to see these projects
and also cool to just see how to make
how many people have to come together
to make a film oh man
and it is to in my opinion like the highest
level of storytelling
uh okay let me take that back
second I think novel
is the
most in-depth version of storytelling, but a novel is something that you can do by yourself.
Yes.
And so many great movies have come from novels.
The best ones.
Only the best ones.
And that is a testament to what novels are, the worlds that you can create with the novel, right?
Like, 100% of all respect to that.
In terms of like the visual demonstration of a story.
I agree.
It's film, the long-form TV shows.
I agree.
That is to me, and that's what I want to make.
So, you know, I want us to do a movie, man.
We will.
So we got to make sure that we indulge in this process
and understand this process
so we can get it out there.
It's going to happen, though.
The movie that we do is the movie
that has to, like,
it has to both get us the love that we want
and the cancellation.
We have to be canceled completely.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's like, we got to bring back great in our movies.
That's really what it comes down to.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's going to be fire.
And the reason I say it has to get to love
because it has to be the one that makes us
the most money that we're good, we cash out.
See, one time.
One time, you go to Anguilla,
I go to Costa Rica,
we're out of here.
No, I agree.
My church is not up in Wednesday, February 8th
from 7 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.
at the Brooklyn Public Library.
The Brooklyn Public Library presents
Whit Atria Books and Simon & Schuster,
Sholomaine the God's Black Privilege Publishing,
a special one-time-in-person event in Brooklyn.
with Anita Copax, the author of Shallow Waters.
That was the second release on my book in print, Black Privilege Publishing,
and Tamika D. Mallory, which state of emergency,
How to Win in the Country we built.
That was the first release of Black Privilege Publishing,
and we'll be there from 7 to 8.30 p.m.
talking about Black Privilege Publishing
and signing copies of all of those books.
And I hope, man, that I'll be able to announce that...
Jesus Christ, Taylor.
I hope that I'll be able to announce our prior to that
there'll be some announcements about the other releases that we have coming out this year.
You know, we have three releases scheduled for this year.
Can we discuss?
Nah, I don't want to step on nobody's rollout.
You know what I mean?
And I am, I'm just going to say, when these get announced,
especially one of them, you're all going to know, like, wow,
because you're going to know how much it means to me to be doing this.
Why? Why? Why? I don't want to give too much.
When it gets announced properly, it'll get announced, you know, properly.
But we got three releases coming out this year.
At least no less than three, no more than two, definitely.
Well, that's awesome.
Yeah. So thank you to everybody that's been supporting a black privilege.
What did I say?
No less than three.
No less than three. No less than three. No less than two. No more.
Oh, y'all know I'm stupid. Why do y'all do this to me?
You know, y'all know what I meant.
No, maybe y'all didn't.
You're right.
What do you say?
No less than three.
No more than three.
No more than two.
What are you supposed to say?
He said, no less than three.
It's not no more than three?
No, no, boy, you said it's no less than three.
That means it's impossible for the less than three.
And then you immediately followed it with, with, hold on, no more than two.
Ain't no way that you're putting out more.
Like you talk for 11, bro.
That's going to be...
That's raw entertainment.
I'm going to be honest with you.
That's what that is.
We got a biography coming out as a memoir about abortions,
and that's the title of it that I just put out.
Yo.
What?
What?
It's a pro-Robie Wade book, bro.
What are you mean?
What are y'all talking about?
All right.
Oh, shit, man.
Oh, man.
Did you see the good sister, young Miami talking about urine therapy?
Talk to me about urine therapy.
Yes, you're talking about urine therapy.
Let's hear it.
Okay, we'll insert it later.
The thing about the Young Miami clip is that if that's her kink, that's her kink,
well, can you explain what she did?
She said she like golden showers.
There's nothing to talk about.
She likes getting peed on.
She likes getting peed on.
She said it does something to her.
And, you know, of course, everybody ran with it and came up with the term P.
Diddy, which is incredible.
Incredible.
But, you know, I don't know why y'all think that it was Diddy that was doing it.
You know what I mean?
We don't know who's Pete is.
Yeah.
You are, yo, we are ridiculous people when it comes to the internet.
We really think, we think everybody's world is what we see online.
Yeah, yeah.
Let me tell you something.
Young Miami is 28 years old.
Yeah.
You don't just jump to pee.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? You know, like that ain't, you don't wait till 28 to start liking to get peed on. Yeah. Okay. Knock it off. I just feel like you ran out of things to do if you start peeing on each other.
Like, I don't think you should pee on nobody in a warm weather state.
Yeah, I think that that's also a really good theory.
That would be like an up north thing.
Like if you up north, winters, oh, come on.
You hop out of an ice bath just get fucking hosed down with your...
Come on, man.
Yeah.
So you warm up.
That's what I'm saying, yeah.
Like, that's what I'm saying.
You want, if you peed on in Miami, it's too happy that shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't do that in Miami.
And the way she explained that she was like, it happens in the shower.
You know what I mean?
Oh, but that's like a joke.
What do you mean?
The peeing on each other in the shower is like a funny joke that you just don't tell your partner and then you start peeing and then they're like, what are you doing?
The other thing that nobody's realized it is is Trina.
Trina says she likes to pee on people too, huh?
Let me hear.
And why I pick this one?
Oh, Lord.
What is it?
You got to.
It's say, take a shot.
You like, go to showers, I do.
Golden showers, meaning when the guy pees on you, pee on you everywhere.
You like it?
I just like it.
You do?
Meek.
freak of the week.
It's fun.
You know, when you're drunk and you just...
And they just peeing all over your body?
You just, like, you know, pee on your bud, peony your pussy.
I don't know.
And then y'all still have sex after?
It depends.
Like, you can pee on me in the shower.
You can pee on me, like, once you come.
It just depends.
It just depends on how to night flow.
I gotta try this out, golden shower.
We're going to take one more because that go to shower.
That's lit.
That's lit.
I'm so confused by this.
Why?
Like, how many things need to happen before you even find out you like this?
That's what I'm saying.
This didn't just start happening with Pete Ditty, bro.
No, not at all.
No.
But, like, so many different things need to happen in your life before you get to.
I enjoy getting Pete on.
Word is born.
Because you don't start with that.
No, that's, that's, that's, like, that's AP class.
That's AP.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's a AP class.
Ah!
That's a double entendre.
Don't ask me how.
Wow.
How do you mean it to be like that?
But it's a...
Chosen one.
That's where you gotta go chosen one, bro.
That's right.
Sometimes it's, you know what I mean?
Sometimes it's chosen one right there, bro.
But it is, though...
Wow, that's a P class.
That's...
That's flings, right, bro.
It could be a P class of bands played and whatever.
But it is, though.
You don't just jump to that?
Yeah, yeah.
That's...
Not many steps you got to skip to get to that?
But that's also something that's like at 28.
Where are you going to go?
Like...
That's young Miami, you know?
You don't want to find that out to you're like 50.
Let me tell you something.
First of all, when I...
I was one of those people
that went Trina and Young
Miami when that shit went live
right there, bro.
Because you knew.
First of all,
how can you,
first of all,
I love Miami women.
Yeah.
I love Florida women period.
Really?
Yes.
Why is that?
Because there ain't nothing real of.
But that also,
it's also because Florida women
remind me of like Carolina,
women from South Carolina.
Like,
there's nothing real.
You get two women from Miami,
two from Jacksonville,
two from Orlando.
That's like talking to two women from Charleston or Columbia.
It's like, yo, you're going to get that real, raw, honest conversation.
I was all in.
And there was so many, like, topics of discussion that came out of that interview about
relationships and everything else.
I thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
You know what I mean?
Thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
So, you know, I don't, you know, I've never peed on anybody.
You said you have.
Listen, my wife got a jellyfish thing when we were off the Amalfi Coast.
You're in therapy.
And I use urine therapy to save her life.
That's right.
That's right.
I don't see the problem.
She's still alive.
That's right.
And we don't talk about urinary therapy enough.
It cures pink eye.
I wish she didn't have pink eye.
She had a jellyfish thing.
Anybody out there dealing with pink eye right now?
Get a little tissue.
Yeah.
A little dab with a pee.
No.
And then.
That's it.
Just put it right there for a second.
No one.
No one do that.
No.
I've done it.
No, Charlotte.
I've absolutely done it.
Google it.
Google it.
Google urine for pink eye.
I'm telling you.
the truth.
No, no, no.
Don't give off men.
Listen, don't take mental advice from
show of me that God
and thinks he gets turned into a fucking wolf
and levitate.
You sound like Trump right now.
Like, just eject the chlorox in your skin.
Google it, Taylor.
This is the boat.
He did what.
She did.
All Sean Combs catalog going to come up.
Put urine and pink eye.
I'm looking at shit up right.
Put urine and pink eye.
This is the most southern shit.
Look, look, look.
Look, look.
You ain't got to tell me.
done it. I'm not, this ain't one of them ones I've heard.
I've done this. It's like it can close
blend. That's not true. Exactly.
That's only if you're arguing. You let's tell the Indian that
it's not true, bro. The one medical professional
we got in this fucking room right now. People
using P to cure pink eye.
Doctor warns against remedy. Of course.
That's Big Pharma, bro. Big Pharma.
Big Pharma don't want you
using holistic methods of
motherfucking cure.
They don't want to talk. That's all it is.
They don't want you using holistic methods to cure yourself.
Come on.
How do you want a p-cault?
So you got pink eye and then got a goldish out?
No, I don't my pee.
He dab his own pee.
With a conjugal.
See,
whatever the fuck that word is.
Conchical visit.
That's right.
A pink eye outbreak.
Yeah, the most prominent among the message reporting is urine to wash the infected eyes.
However, Dr. Leon Vaughn warned that using urine and other home remedies is a dangerous practice.
Urine, breast milk, bussy tea.
They got bussy tea?
You don't stop.
They got Bussy.
What the fuck is Bussy T?
Yo.
Jason Lee, I think we've got a name for your rumor report segment.
Bussy T.
I just imagine a gay dude dipping their butt into a hot tub.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.
Listen, I've known people that have been using urine for Pink Eye for years.
And I ain't never heard about nobody going blind, yo.
Straight up.
And Baby P is used for acne.
Yeah, urine therapy is a real thing
This guy is nuts
Huh?

and then they say the same thing.
Not for a day.
Girls be making that shit up.
Nobody says the same thing about,

I don't know. So it's been mad
you to grow facial hair since you've been married
I'm just saying

Oh, what else we got,

That is like one of the most unselfish acts.
God damn, Taylor.

I don't know.
Yeah.
Tell, you don't got no bars for you?
None, man.
I'm trying to set to...
You're trying to what?
You know what I want to say, too?
Slew to the Golden State Warriors, man.
Oh.
Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole were Thurston.
Whoa.
Different levels, bro.
Whoa.
But we don't know what she got back there.
But I've been around Kamala Harris.
a million times.
And what she got?
I never noticed.
Because you were a faithful black man, bro.
Probably.
I was sitting there thinking that.
I'm like, why?
I'm like, they were looking like, you know, listen,
there's some OG queens out here who shall remain nameless that, you know,
you'd be like, whoa, can I get to the yams?
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not saying.
You're saying that there's some women that got the yams, bro.
The yams, bro, like some crazy.
And I've never, I've never looked at the vice president like that.
No. I would never disrespect Angela like that.
Why is that disrespect to say that she's got a beautiful body?
It's disrespectful. I don't think that's disrespectful.
She's nominated for an Oscar, too.
So I can't say that she got the fat dumper?
I can't, no, you can't do that, man.
Suit to Courtney B. Vance or her husband.
And there's certain women, I mean, all women you should talk to with a certain, you know,
a amount of respect.
But definitely.
How can we respectfully acknowledge and honor a fat shit cutter?
Talk about it amongst you.
friend amongst each other.
You're saying that we can't just do it on it?
Nah, there's no way to do it publicly.
There's no way.
You know how you do it?
When they win an award?
Standing ovation.
God bless.
You know what I mean?
Or when they're giving a speech?
Standing ovation.
You know what I mean?
Standing ovation.
You know, Andrew Wiggins is crazy.
Andrew Wiggins was acting like the camera wasn't on.
Yeah.
At least you...
Canada, bro.
They don't got milk like that up there, bro.
You think so?
No, not known for milk like that.
Yeah, but they were looking like, they were like, man.
Fat asses are more of like a like a warm climate thing.
You don't find fat asses in cold weather.
Interesting.
Yeah, it's too much, it's too much body meat in a place you don't need.
That might be true, yo.
Yeah.
But even when you go in America, like up north.
You're not going to find no fat ass in Vermont.
You got to go down.
No, you're right.
You want to go to Maine no fat asses?
Once you cross that Mason Dixon line, that's when it's like on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Definitely.
You crossed the Mason Dixon
and the asses are popping out.
I never thought about that.
We had to import asses to New York,
Puerto Rico.
We had to import that.
That wasn't real ass in New York
before Puerto Rican started coming up here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, damn, I never thought about that.
100%.
Most of fat asses of New York is imported.
So thank God for the Bronx.
Bro, the reason why the north of America,
the reason why they fought the war,
the civil war, was to bring some ass out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's really, if you actually look into what,
Abraham Lincoln was talking about.
Yeah.
Did you know that?
Uh-uh.
Well, it's facts.
No, it makes sense.
There's an ophthalmological society of Jamaica.
I don't even know what that means.
Wait, what?
I don't know.
I was reading whatever Taylor had up on her.
I just know, God damn, Andrew Wiggins.
Do a better goddamn job of what she peeking at.
Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Pool.
Do a better job of what you're peeking at, man.
Yeah, they was peeping too much.
You know what I mean?
But I bet you that got to, you think that makes the vice president feel good when she goes back
and watches it?
Like, I still got it.
I think that she does feel good.
And I also understand specifically the Golden State Warriors.
I mean, they're in San Francisco, right?
The largest population of Asians of any city in the United States of America.
They're not used to seeing that Jamaican Dumpet, right?
So they're going to be freaked out a little bit when it's right in front of them like that.
When Kamala brought out the coconut cake, do you really think, you really think Jordan Poole and who else?
Andrew Wiggins was going to be able to control them?
Oh, my God.
Come on, bro.
That beef patty.
That beef patty?
You know what I mean?
Dance hall waiting to thunder clap that?
Oh, my God.
Come on, bro.
He's so stupid.
I'm just saying, hey, I don't blame that, bro.
Oh, man.
I don't blame that, bro.
Speaking of the White House, though, you see Biden.
Speak about it.
Biden got caught again.
With what?
This is the fourth time they then found classified documents.
Oh, no.
And liberal media is still lacking like, you know, shit is different.
Oopsy-dupsy.
It's oopsie-dupsy.
You know what's so interesting about the thing now is when they say, well, the difference is the obstruction.
That was the excuse that for us.
The difference is the obstruction.
You know, Joe Biden cooperated and, you know, he gave over the documents right away.
So how come y'all keep finding them?
That happened once.
It happened once when his lawyers were helping him move and they found the documents.
The other three times y'all found more documents.
didn't they turn those over if he's cooperating so much?
Yeah.
No, that's all bullshit.
In three different places.
They found him in his house in Delaware.
From what they explained, they said,
once they found the first one,
then they're like, oh, we'll open it up
so you actually can search every place else.
They got no choice by then.
No, I know.
The DOJ would have did it themselves.
And so that's why they're trying to make the claim
is that, oh, when we tried to subpoena Trump to search,
they wouldn't let it.
That's why we had to, like, go in force.
Okay, so let's talk about it, right?
Trump.
They said that the difference between Trump is obstruction,
and that he was intentional, you know,
and taking the documents and intentional
and not giving them, giving them back, right?
He knew he had him and didn't want to give him back.
So if that's the case, right,
if Biden didn't have any intention
and he didn't know, isn't that gross negligence?
Whoa.
Isn't that highly irresponsible of a senator
and a vice president and now the president
of the United States of America?
Isn't that incompetence on the highest fucking level?
Super Ayo.
Come on.
Super Ayo.
Why the documents is wild.
Hey, yo. Like, come on.
It's unbelievable. And it's just, I love watching the news and watching people, you know,
cap.
Cap.
Cap about the differences.
And they keep saying it over and over because this is textbook media, right?
There's a big difference between Trump and Biden.
Like, the more you say it, people just, they run with it.
Until you ask somebody, well, what's the difference?
And then they can't even tell you.
They just, they're repeating it because the.
news keeps telling them that it's a big
difference. It really is no difference. You get
caught four times, four different
places with classified documents.
You can only use that obstruction shit once.
Now what? Now your
president is just grossly irresponsible and clearly
always has been because this shit has been going on since he's
been in the Senate. Yeah, that should. So it's just like, get the
fuck out of it. It's just, it's
disgusting, man. Men who use
Viagra are 25% less likely to
suffer early death. Wow.
How do you feel about that?
That's just big farmer.
here's my feeling on this.
If you still fucking,
there's something to live for.
If you're not fucking,
early death doesn't seem that bad.
Yeah.
So I don't think that,
I think the people that are not still fucking
are probably living a more unhealthy lifestyle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It would lead them to an early death.
I don't think it's actually the Viagra
that's making it happen.
I think it's the fact that you're still pursuing
something that keeps you a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And if you're still fucking, you're getting cardio with.
Boom.
She said, I'll say if you still fucking, you get cardio with, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
I'm with it.
You don't pop to Viagra, have sex.
Get it pop.
You know, whether you live long or, you know, die early.
At least you die hard.
It's a high.
Yo, give me some ass.
something, man.
The fuck.
Alex Baldwin.
This is fucked up, yo.
Alex Baldwin should not be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
He should be charged with murder.
No, he shouldn't.
Yeah, he didn't.
Why?
Why he tried to kill her?
No, he didn't.
He pulled the trigger.
You're an actor on a set.
It's not my job to make sure that the gun is...
Why are there real bullets in this gun?
Murderer, bro.
No.
That guy's a murderer.
This is so wrong on so many levels.
No, it's not.
And I hope that he sues the shit out of the production company.
I hope he sues the shit out of the Santa Feet Police Department,
whoever the fuck arrested him.
Because I don't see how he gets charged with manslaughter in this situation.
He's a producer in the movie.
So what?
And also, maybe there's a rule that you never actually pull the trigger
unless it's the scene or maybe it wasn't actually checked on or something.
Also, he just seems like the type of guy that would try to kill somebody.
You think so?
Yeah.
I don't think he should be charged.
with nothing. I think the person that loaded the gun should be charged.
Whoever's job it was to make sure that that gun didn't have real ammo in it, they should be charged.
Yeah, you ready for a good one?
Let's talk about it. You ready for a good one, bro?
Okay.
Okay. You know, he just had his seventh kid, right?
Who?
Who? Baldwin.
He did?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why do you have his seventh kid, Charlotte?
I don't know.
Because he don't shoot blanks, you know?
All right.
All right.
That was the alley-you for you.
I thought you had that.
I didn't know.
Kids are touchy, man.
Kids are touchy.
This guy.
This guy is so crazy.
I don't know.
Let's do some masculine idiots.
I threw that one up for you.
I thought you had that one, bro.
Come on.
Okay.
Texas basketball.
Oh, you want to do it over?
I just don't get you.
All right.
Come on.
Let's see.
Come on.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, Charlotte, I got one for you.
You ready?
What?
Okay.
You know, he just had his seventh kid, right?
Alec Baldwin?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he just had a seven kid.
He just had a seven kid.
Why did he just have a seven kid, huh?
Clearly, clearly doesn't shoot blanks.
Yeah.
Yeah, leave both of them in.
Yeah.
Leave both of them in.
Leave both of them.
Oh, my God.
I mean, clearly because they don't
show me.
Yeah, but da-da-da-da-da-da-ha.
Okay, let's do some asking idiots.
All right.
Oh, man.
Oh, this is a good one.
Texas takes Brazil.
How do you know when you're playing it too safe,
career-specific?
Ooh, this is a good one.
question. What do you, what do you think?
You don't.
Yeah.
You don't.
Yeah.
Because like we, I was talking about earlier when it came to Stephen A. Smith, intention
versus impact.
You know, my intention is never to, now, there's been times in my career with my
intention was, oh, I'm going, I'm going to give it to this person.
You know what I'm saying?
But there's been times like, like just now that joke we made.
To me, that's just a joke.
Yeah.
And it's funny.
But somebody's like, oh, yeah, that was harmful.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, I didn't meet.
We didn't mean it to be.
No, we managed it to be funny.
You know what I mean?
So I don't think you know when you're playing it too safe.
Because there's even been times where like,
I thought I've said everything I wanted to say.
Whether it's in an interview or in a commentary,
and I'm like, fuck, I should have said X, Y, and Z.
And then it'll make you feel like you didn't take it far enough.
You know what I mean?
But then you'll see the feedback and everybody like, nah,
that's exactly what's supposed to be said.
So it's like, you know, you just don't know.
You don't know until you have gone too far.
Most of the time.
Yeah.
How was he asking me, Taylor?
I was just taking it as like if you're too comfortable in your career.
Oh, no, I didn't take it like that.
Yeah, I didn't take it like that.
Yeah, like you may be playing safe because you don't want to lose an opportunity.
I mean, what Taylor's saying isn't wrong, though.
Like that is another way of playing it safe in your career.
I think that's the worst.
If you're doing things to keep a position.
and it's not what you actually want to do,
that shit is going to devastate you
when you get fired.
Yep.
You know what I mean?
I'd rather get fired for knowing, pushing it.
You know what I mean?
I did everything I was supposed to do.
I took chances.
I took risks.
Getting five for playing a safe.
Ooh.
Woo!
That's the worst, bro.
What do you think, Shows?
How do you know when you're playing it too safe?
I don't know.
I think when I'm playing defense.
Like, I want to be shooting.
I want to be on offense.
I want to be moving.
I want to be pushing.
And then when I start playing defense,
feels like I'm worried about losing something.
And I don't like that feeling ever because of what you just described.
Imagine losing it anyway and you were pussy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stephen, they got a chapter in this book called Natural Born Contrarian.
And he talks about Skip Bayless,
and he talked about how Skip Bayliss is a natural born contrarian.
He said he didn't realize that until they started working together.
You know what I mean?
Because, you know, you can have, you know,
he said they'd be on air sometime and Skip will be having these wild takes.
And he'll be like, you know, when the mic's on, Skip,
you don't really mean that.
It'd be like dead ass and go deeper into, you know what he actually felt.
So it's just like some people are just like that.
Some people just are wired different.
They see the world different.
You know what I mean?
So you can't be mad at them.
Oh, ooh, this is a good one.
Estoric.
Estoteric.
Mokel says, how are you guys able to be neutral when it comes to the political fair
of the United States of America?
Good one.
Good one.
I don't think we are.
You don't think we're neutral?
I think we're very neutral.
Oh.
I think we're very objective with both sides.
Oh, we're objective, but I don't think that we're like, I guess I don't know,
understand what neutral really means that much in terms.
I feel like we're passionate about the things.
We're not choosing a side.
Yes.
I'm not.
You know what I mean?
Okay.
That's what he means.
Like, yeah, we're, we choose a side based on each issue, and that might be left.
It might be right.
Yeah.
But we're reacting to the issue instead of just grabbing onto a party's belief system and then saying,
you tell me how I feel.
Grabbing onto a party's balls.
Yeah, exactly.
Riding a party's dick wild crazy.
You know what I mean?
Like a lot of the liberal media is doing right now with Joe Biden.
Yeah,
can't even motherfucking just admit that, you know,
what he did is he fucked up.
You know what I mean?
Or admit the other dude didn't fuck up.
One of the two, right?
It's one of the other.
One of the two.
And call yourself out.
Man, I was watching Dana Bash on Sunday morning.
And it was Sunday morning?
It was Sunday morning or Saturday night.
I forgot the person that they had on there.
But, you know,
they had the person on there talking about the Biden classified documents.
And Dana was like, I want to play you a clip of you talking about Trump's classified documents.
He's on this is so irresponsible.
He's probably criminal.
And this is all.
I got me just going in.
But Biden was like, oh, you know, first of all, it's much different than the Trump situation.
And you know, and when she played that clip for him, he had to change his fucking tune.
He was just like, well, of course it's just as they're responsible.
Why are you in leave with that?
Yeah.
Why are you leaving with that?
I'm telling you
Daddy is
I want
That's it
Nah he knows
Who
Everybody to remember
Who
was bullshitting you
At times like this
Because at times
Like this
This is the person
That's been bullshitting
You the whole time
I don't like hypocrisy
Even though we all
contradict ourselves
In different ways
But come on
Some shit you just got to look at
And be like
That's it
That's it
Simple as that
This is a good
Let's end on this one
Ooh
Jalen Clem says
How do you deal
with failure in healthy ways.
You learn, man.
What did we say?
We had that episode way back.
It was called, you win or you learn?
Winner you learn.
And I think that was, yeah, I think that was definitely transformative for me.
It's like every loss, if you can flip that into some sort of like knowledge gain
that prepares you in the future, then that's huge, man.
So, yeah, looking at life like that, like that every failure is just going to propel you
and make you better, make you stronger, and give you something to learn from.
I think that is huge, huge.
And also knowing that, like, failure means at least you tried,
how many people ain't even failing because they're not even trying.
That's right.
Like, yeah, you got to go for it.
Yeah.
I agree with that wholeheartedly.
Exactly everything Andrew said verbatim.
Like, you know, you deal with failure in healthy ways by not looking at it as a failure.
You know what I mean?
It's just something that you learned from said experience.
I look at it as an experience that didn't go to where you wanted it to go.
But what did you learn from said experience?
You know what I mean?
Just because something didn't go
The way you wanted to go
As long as you learn from it,
everything is A-OK
That's it, Taylor, gang?
We outside.
Huh?
Can we just do one last rap with Taylor instead?
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
You ready?
Let's go Taylor, come on, Taylor.
Come on, Taylor.
Come on, Taylor.
Come on, Taylor.
Come on, Taylor.
Come on.

No.
Hold on.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
My name, Leonard.
Yeah.
And I'm the God.
Yeah.
Got a colon cleanse.
And I woke up hard.
Yeah.
Nigger what?
Huh?
In your butt?
Relax.
I look like Morris chest nut.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Taylor, you can't follow up.
Walk away from the mics right now.
Save yourself.
Back away.
Walk away from the mic and save yourself.
Back away, yo.
Back away.
You don't want that smoke?
All right, so you say next week, you come with bars with Charlotte?
Jesus Christ.
Don't, don't, don't.
No, she did.
She used to have a rap group.
Don't do this to yourself.
That shit was sad.
What was it called?
The Eagles, yo.
Yes, it was, yo.
It was the Eagles.
It was called the Eagles, yo.
The birds.
the fucking birds
the birds from Philly
Birds in the hood
Birds in the hood
Birds in the hood
The real birds of Lord Darby
That's what it was called
