The Brilliant Idiots - Sinners Supreme
Episode Date: March 20, 2026This week on The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne tha God and Andrew Schulz dive into Oscars chaos, discussing Timothée Chalamet while celebrating Michael B. Jordan’s big win. But it quickly turns i...nto a deeper convo about what really makes a movie star, why Hollywood might need to go back to mystery, and whether actors are doing way too many podcasts. They break down how social media is killing celebrity mystique, react to a hilarious Tina Fey clip about “authenticity being dangerous,” and debate whether oversharing is ruining entertainment. Is being real actually bad for your career now? Later, things get messy with talk about PR conspiracies, viral clip culture, and how sarcasm keeps getting people in trouble online. Plus, they get into the music world, reacting to Jack Harlow’s latest album, the “white rapper” debate, and whether switching genres is easier depending on who you are. Oh… and somehow they end up discussing anime, hip-hop influence, Samuel L. Jackson, and even Forrest Gump. Don’t ask. Just press play. ************************************ 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 Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Learn more about your ad choices.

To the guy who said, I'll marinate the chicken, then forgot.
Hi, you're a Safeway PA announcer here.
We've got pre-marinated meat.
So all that's left is pretending you made it yourself.
Yep, Charlamagne, the guy.
Andrew Schult.
We are the brilliant idiots podcast back for another week of brilliant idiots.
Heather Kyle Walker.

Hey, man.

Michael B. Jordan
He's not even happy.
Real Hollywood movie star
Okay, get that young shit the fuck out of here.
Yes.
Charlemagne not even happy Michael B won.
He's happy than Timmy Shalemay lost.
Listen, you know what's so funny?
I'll give Timothy credit for one thing.
He is such a...
I'll give him this.
He's not a movie star on the level of a Michael B. Jordan yet.
Damn, bro.
Come on, bro.
Not a full fleshed out movie star like Michael B, right?
But he's a big enough star.
He's actually the first person I've ever seen
whose relationship with a Kardashian
didn't overshadow him.
Ooh.
He's the first.
What a take.
He's the first.
You were coming at hot today.
What a take.
Listen, I didn't even know
he dated the Kardashian
until Oscar night.
I kept hearing people say,
oh, it's the Kardashian.
I'm like, what the fuck the Kardashians
got to do with it?
And then it was like, he dates fucking Caitlin.
And I was like,
what the fuck?
Kylie is her name.
Kylie?
Yes, but.
Oh, I'm sorry, Kylie.
He dates fucking Kylie.
And I was like, I didn't even know that.
It was like, yo, she's sitting right by him.
And then when you go watch the video.
Somehow, I'm going to get in trouble for this clip.
I'm sitting here just laughing next to you, and there's going to be a reaction video.
Welcome to my world.
This fucking devil.
This white devil, Angel Schultz, laughing to my world.
Making Charlemagne say these horrible things about Timmy Shalabay.
No.
Forcing Charlemagne to rip apart the cart.
But I didn't even know until I'm watching.
And then I'm like, oh, shit, he does date Kendall.
I had no fucking.
My idea that he dated a Kardashian, bro.
Y'all knew that?
Shout out Timmy.
Okay, young legends.
I did not know this.
He would always be at the MSG games with it.
I promise you I had no idea.
But you're right.
That's right.
That's how big of a superstar Timmy is.
Star, big star.
You don't think he's...
You don't think he's a big.
You know, Timmy's a superstar.
Big star.
What's that there?
I didn't start hearing about him.
He said,
Sorry.
I didn't say hearing about him until Kylie Jenner.
I didn't even know he was dating any of them.
You guys are crazy.
I'm not even joking.
I knew.
I knew of Timothy Shalaby.
I knew who he was.
But I did not know you knew.
I did not know you were plotting this downfall too much.
Brim,
brim,
brim,
Brim, brim,
remember?
The second we started a podcast
and then we were talking about the Marty Supreme
or something like that.
And then you were hating.
And I saw you hate now.
No, no.
There was some hate.
I forgot exactly what you were hating.
about, but there was a little hate and I was like, ping pong?
Y'all said, nah, yeah.
I think it was how he was dressing.
No, it was the Kendrick.
It was the Kendrick.
Bro. I know it was, I know you think it was whack, whatever.
But like, again, I saw it and I was like, oh, shit.
Oh, wow, Timmy's over exposed.
He's done too many pods.
He's been too cool.
And Charlemagne had enough of something.
And then it was the other, do you see the rap video he did?
We had the fucking mask on and all that bullshit.
I got a billion what the fuck with a wonderful feeling hit to the ceiling,
hit to the up since 2017.
I'm living a dream.
Getting the cream.
I'm living on theme.
I'm doing a thing.
It's my supreme.
As body supreme.
Listen.
They went 0 for nine at the Oscars.
We should be happy.
Let me tell you something.
Ping pong can't get hot, bro.
We can't make ping pong hot.
This is how we take down China.
China was trying to do a propaganda movie.
Yes.
They were trying to use ping pong.
They were trying to use ping pong.
Yes.
Strip us.
Yes.
Yes.
Of our patriots.
And why wasn't any Chinese people upset?
Isn't that cultural appropriation?
Why wasn't they have, they could have no Asian star in Marty Supreme?
They did.
She shot the ping pong ball out of her pussy.
She didn't see that.
I don't know.
Why wasn't she nominated?
She couldn't get a best important actress, man?
That's crazy.
Why she didn't she get a best important actress now?
No, she should have.
She should have, man.
It's a talent.
But anyway, I want to let all future white boys of the month know the second you get that crown, Charlemagne is coming.
That is not true.
This has nothing.
Listen, white people, if you even get a little motion.
That's not true.
For more than 30 days.
Nope.
Charlemais come a collect.
There's two white boys that was in that category who I love.
Who?
Leonardo DiCaprio and Ethan Hawk.
Love them.
They're both fire.
Fire actors, okay?
But they play the three.
traditional celebrity game.
Talk to me.
We don't know anything about them.
We don't know.
Real movie stars.
Can we go back to that?
Listen, Gary Vaynerchuk said social media is dead.
I'm starting to feel like social media is dead.
Can we go back to the mystery?
Play this, play that first of all.
Can we not go back to the mystery?
Whether we like it or not, that is where we're going back.
These movie companies ain't going to let an actor do another fucking podcast for a decade.
I promise you, it ain't not happening.
That's right.
You like Michael B, bro.
Real superstar.
You're not allowed to.
Leonardo,
Leonardo did one interview
for one battle after the other.
And that was on fucking...
And that was one too many.
And that was one too many.
You're not allowed to do that anymore.
Can you please put up that clip?
If we want to look at,
there's a brilliant, brilliant,
a comedic mind by a woman by the name of Tina Faye.
I'm not sure if you've heard of her.
Yeah, I know Tina Faye.
Okay.
A hundred percent.
Shout out to Tina Faye.
She was on a podcast called Las Coulteristas.
Yes, that's on Aihart.
Yes, and she said this, which I think will resonate with you.
Parable thumbnail.
God, damn.
Play the clue.
Damn, damn, damn.
Why would you do that, Tina?
I don't think so, honey.
Bowen Yang giving his real opinions about movies on this podcast.
I regret to inform you that you are too famous now, sir.
I know.
What's going to happen?
You have a problem with saltburn?
Shh.
Quiet luxury.
Keep it to yourself because what are you going to do when Emerald Fennell calls you a
about her next project, where you play Carrie Mulligan's co-worker in the bridal section of
Herod's, and then Act 3 takes a sexually violent turn, and you have to pretend to be surprised
by that turn.
You hang out with Ariana and SpengeBob.
Now that is your life.
Okay?
And Matt Rogers, I can tell you, you got about one year left, and then you, yes, learn from my mistakes,
learn from Iyo, podcasts are forever.
Authenticity is dangerous and expensive.
I don't think so, honey.
She's so right.
Wow, that's an all-timer, man.
She's so right.
That's not a brilliant tape.
She's so right, man.
Authenticity is so dangerous and expensive.
Oh, God.
Tell me, Sharla.
I don't even want to be real no more, bro.
Boy, tell me.
By the way, even when I be fake,
they try to take it and make it real.
I come on the pod last week.
We being, first of all,
I want to shout out this young guy.
lady her name is jessica oh long jessica sheney i think her name is hold on just let me make sure
while you bring that up i just want to comments on this yes it is a brilliant like i think what
human beings want especially with our actors is to project whatever our idea of them we have onto them
no can i just get the argument oh no you're right you're right i'm just saying no that's not what
should happen no no no i'm not saying that's what should happen i think that's what we want
It's the same thing like what you ever read a book and then you see the movie based on the book.
And initially you're disappointed with the casting because that character doesn't look exactly like you have it in your head, right?
When you see these actors sharing their opinions on the world, which all people have, and the second one of those opinions disagrees with one of yours, all of a sudden it shatters this image you have of that person.
So the trick really to having a long career in entertainment is just never going to podcast.
That is that is the goal.
I love this subject.
I'll tell you why I love this subject.
Hollywood actors, can we talk to y'all for a minute?
Y'all have something so unique that none of us have.
Nobody ever has to know the real you.
Nobody.
Because nobody gives a fuck about the real you.
I care about the character you play.
That's what I love.
I don't ever have to know who the real Leonardo DiCaprio is.
I don't ever have to know who the real Denzel is.
I don't ever have to know.
It might break my heart if I meet the real one.
I don't have to know who Tom Hanks is.
I don't have to know who none of these people are.
I love the characters you play.
Play the roles.
Go to fuck home.
And if I got to go do press for the movie,
make sure they're only asking me about the character I played.
I'll tell you about the character all day.
That's it.
I might even be talking about me within the character.
That might be too much.
That's too much.
But at least that's how I can get my shit off.
You could talk about your parents.
You could talk about your friends.
You could talk about your inspiration.
But if you are an actor, do not talk about you.
The fact-
Do not share your opinions on the world.
The fact that actors even do that is ridiculous.
You don't have to.
They listen to podcast too.
And I think what happened is they saw culture shift to podcast media.
And by podcast, I just mean like any long-form interview, right?
Any not this like short-form bullshit that you see this kind of like scripted.
And they saw it.
And I'm sure the PR company's like, well, we got to get them on podcast because that's where people are watching things.
And that's how we're going to get the word out for the movie.
and now they're realizing the cost.
It is expensive to be authentic.
I could do a whole interview with Denzel Washington
and not ask him one thing about him.
You would be the most kind interviewer in history.
I know I could because he's played so many roles.
I know you couldn't.
No, I couldn't.
You asked Matt Johnson where he got the AIDS from.
That's magic.
Come on.
Listen, that's part of his lore.
Is that not part of his lore?
The man played one-on-one with HIV and one.
Okay, Magic Johnson gave people
the inspiration to beat HIV.
That's a fact.
That is a fact.
That is a fact.
He gave people the inspiration to be like,
yo, I could do this, yo.
He's the Barack Obama of AIDS.
Is that what you're saying?
Sort of kind of.
And then Kanye put the tag on it.
When Kanye said,
you can live through anything if magic needed.
The reason Kanye said that is because of the
inspiration somebody like Magic Johnson provided.
So in that situation, I have to ask magic about that.
And I think he was up there to talk about HIV awareness.
I'm also not being critical.
I just know that if you have something in your head, it's got to come out.
But I'm not a Hollywood actor.
That's the other thing.
When you get in business with somebody like a me, right?
You already know who I am.
Yeah.
Right?
It's to say, like, there's no secrets.
I am who I am.
I'm not a Hollywood actor.
I've always been me.
But if you're a Hollywood.
an actor, you don't have to present you. You don't have to ever be Tom Hanks. You can go do interviews
about Castaway. You can do interviews about Big. You can do interviews about Otto. Like,
you can do interviews by everything except for you. This is the thing, though. This is the thing
that's interesting is, and again, I don't know, I'm not sure how some of the actors feel about it,
right? There is a version where it takes somebody without
ego to not make it about them. In other words, to do an interview and not share your feelings about
the world and share what's going on in your life. Simply let yourself be this character,
let the fans see you as this character, and then have your personal life that nobody really
fucking knows about. I don't know anything about Daniel Day Lewis. I know nothing about Daniel
Day Lewis. Nothing. I don't even know his favorite food. I know nothing about it. I've never heard a
single opinion about Daniel Day Lewis, right? And I wonder, though, if sometimes there's a jealousy
that happens with actors.
For example, you're known and beloved
for a character that another person wrote.
Who gives a fuck?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is a good argument,
but there might be a little part of you
that becomes jealous of the creation, right?
You start going, oh, people don't really love me.
They love Ross from friends.
And you want people to love you.
So you start sharing a little bit about you
because you're envious of this character
that you didn't even create.
So I would go talk to those stars
that came up in the 80s, the 90s,
the early 2000s who were that,
who I would love to have conversations with them
and ask them those type of questions
because they would know.
If I'm a Timothy Shalamee or a Michael B. Jordan,
I'm sitting down talking to these people
to understand how did they not allow that to happen?
How did they not let their ego get the best of them
and just go out there, do the work, go home, and that's it.
I do think it's unfair what's happening with Timmy
because he did an amazing press run in terms of getting the world.
I think he got what he deserved.
I think he earned it.
Just from talking, bro?
Yes.
We're contradicting our whole point if we say otherwise right now.
Yeah, but we talk, too, so you want to let other people talk.
He's not a podcaster.
He's a Hollywood star.
By the way, I knew nothing about Timothy Shalami until the past year.
That's the point.
That's exactly.
So shut the fuck up.
Nobody should have told him to talk.
He should have kept shutting the fuck up.
I knew nothing.
Nothing about him.
I knew he was in Willie Wonka.
He was in Dune.
He was a big box office star.
But this year, for whatever reason,
he won't even call him a superstar.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Box off the star.
Yeah, you ain't shit, bro.
No, the superstar isn't just about how big you are.
Yeah.
Superstar's about how you carry yourself.
Oh, see, I define Superstar differently.
Tell me.
Superstar to me is, can you open a movie to a huge number without anybody but you?
Meaning, like, without a big name director,
without a big name producer,
without a big name intellectual property.
Can you take a movie that nobody knows about
and simply because you're in it
open to over $100 million?
Big star.
Huge star.
That just means big star.
To me, superstar is the person
who knows how to walk,
how to talk, how to dress.
Brad Pitt.
Yes.
Brad Pitt's superstar.
But guess what?
They come from an era
where they had whole departments
to teach you how to be a superstar.
If you didn't have it in you,
they could teach you how to be it.
They had PR people.
but it had every, it's like politicians.
How politicians can sit down and say the right thing?
All of these people were groomed.
It's crazy.
How many people it takes to tell you to shut the fuck.
Yes.
Yes.
You need four different teams to just say, don't talk about yourself.
Your team is out there right now.
Like, yes, Andrew.
They're all the time.
Like, yes, Andrew.
Yes.
You know how many people on my team send me that Tina Feycliffe?
You know what I'm saying?
Listen, it happens.
But I think that was all.
also the appeal, to be honest, of podcasts and even a decade ago.
It's like for the first time in maybe history, outside of like radio personalities, right?
Like radio personalities we always had this like intimate relationship with.
And I think that's what was so unique about radio personalities that you had that parissocial
relationship that was different than famous people.
It was like you knew your favorite radio personalities kids' names.
You knew about Howard Stern's life.
You knew about his friends.
You knew about the people he was beefing with.
You knew everything about that human being.
also so rare back didn't know how it was a star. You know what I mean? It wasn't a big...
I'm saying with you also, they know these intimate details. With any of the like massive figures
existed throughout radio, we feel like we have this intimate relationship with. And then podcast
came around and it allowed strangers to have an intimate relationship with these people that
I hate using the word famous, but like had a certain level exposure and fame. That's unique. You don't
get to know the inner workings and details of people that are kind of famous. No, you're right. And then
social media came out and now every influencer is just like talking into their phone and like
oversharing. So we're at maybe a point where we're oversharing. That's why the chance podcast
was so popular back in the day because, you know, you would hear all of those comedians come on
with Neil and Mosher and they would be way more intimate doing these long form interviews.
When do you get that access? Yeah, no, you're right. And if you look at like early days in
podcasting, having a huge personality, like Elon Musk on somebody on, come on Rogan would be
fucking 30, 40, 40, 50 million views. Now, it's so common that an Elon Musk will do an interview
with somebody that it's not even like appointment view. If Elon Musk sits down with a random
podcast, so you're not like, I got to stop everything I'm doing. There might be political factors
that, you know, they'll definitely get suppressed on certain platforms. Put it this way.
Obama, I think, did that recent interview with, I think his name is Tyler Cohen, I believe,
right? Like, that interview five years ago, six years ago, Obama,
just sitting down with anybody for a long-form podcast interview.
And talking about aliens and shit.
That's when we're talking about aliens.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like that would have shut the whole internet down.
Yeah.
And it was like, it popped a little on the aliens ship, but nothing really besides that.
It took Thanos, bro.
It took Thanos and ET to really make the interview really take off.
Isn't that crazy the time of living?
Where, like, everybody's so accessible and there's so much oversharing that sharing is no longer
unique or novel.
But you're about to see a lot of people, I think, uh, coming up off social media.
Because of that reason.
I think you're right.
I think it's going to be a lot more people who just pulled back
because, as Tina's Faye said, it is expensive.
And what you say?
And dangerous.
Dangerousity.
No, no.
Authenticity is costly.
Expensive and stuff.
I thought you just said expensive.
I think definitely dangerous.
But you're going to see people come up off it and also.
Why do you think?
I'm curious.
My reason is I don't think people are going to want to fight to know what's real anymore.
Like, I don't want to open up my phone every day and be like,
Yeah, is this real?
Is this not real?
And between all of the AI shit, the PR firms that are paying to push all of these false narratives,
talk on it.
Getting this misinformation from, and not saying chat GPT can't eventually get better because it's good now, but it's going to get real better.
But you just have, you don't know what's real.
Like, I got people sending me videos of AI influences talking, but you don't even realize they're AI.
Bro, you don't even need a PR firm.
You can have a Discord with like 200.
people that are real people that are just your army and you set them out there in the world and
you say this is the narrative go fucking talk about it go but that's happening oh all the time all the time
oh oh by the way we're fully aware of the discord that y'all get in to plan your uh attacks we're fully
aware of that and that will come out soon oh absolutely it might be how about a time of this podcast
but absolutely salute to michael b jordan though it was hilarious
Larry, oh, this is the girl I wanted to shout out.
Her name is Jessica Chardonnay.
Yeah, Jessica Chattonet.
She's J on Instagram.
And I posted the headline, because I reposted one of the headlines.
Salomey and the God claims Michael B. Jordan Sinners,
hired John Davidson to shout out the N-word at the Baptist
as a marketing tactic, the boost of films chances of winning an Oscar.
That was the best PR.
And I put sarcasm really as a lost art.
I can't believe people made this a headline.
The show is called Brilliant Idiot.
These are just jokes.
Jessica replied to me and said,
we got to stop letting new people in our Brilliant Idiot's family.
It is really just that simple.
Like my other homie who hit me in was like,
yo, you even gave a disclaimer.
And they still ran with this as a headline.
And I got blamed.
I need to get this video of this guy, bro.
You were saying all the words.
And somehow it's like,
this is what this white guy does.
He makes him say these things.
And I'm like, bro, I literally just say,
great take.
You're going to let him give me all the credit for your take?
It was sarcasm.
Oh, it's not, bro.
It was clear sarcasm.
There's no sarcasm.
It was a joke.
You might know something, bro.
I don't know.
No shit.
It was a clear joke.
Now, sadly.
Aluminati.
Sadly, was it?
Was it good PR?
Here you go.
Here you go.
Devil down Leonard.
All I'm simply saying is, did it not bring a lot of attention back to a film that had been out for a year and some change?
So are you saying right now on this podcast?
Because I just want to clarify before you get clipped to smithereens.
Are you saying right now on this podcast that you don't think that Michael B. Jordan would have won for the movie?
Michael would have won hands down.
Okay.
So it didn't matter.
But I said that last week.
By the way, I said it in the same clip.
Everybody keeps reposted.
I literally said Michael B. Jordan is going to win.
He deserves to win because of the roles that he played the degree of difficulty of playing two twins.
Can we go to the good book, Philippians 4-6?
Ooh, okay.
What scripture is that?
Let me look that one up.
Do not.
do not be anxious about anything
but in every situation
by prayer and petition
with thanksgiving
present your request
about it's on my hoodie
by the way
that fits the moment
that's crazy
this shit is on my hoodie
shout out to my hoodie
I forgot I was wearing
I'll be honest I was a little offended
you didn't think I was that nice.
No, this is fire.
I just ripped off a verse and you didn't even give me a smirk or nothing?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving
presents your request to God.
I love this scripture.
It wasn't that deep, bro.
It wasn't that deep, though.
Me too.
My point is, my point is.
I just ripped a Bible scripture and you didn't even say like, yo, Shultz, you know your shit.
He was reading off my hoodie.
You didn't know it.
I didn't know.
I forgot I had this hoodie on.
By the way, I did.
My cortisol spiked right there.
Hold on.
Don't let your cortisol level spike for unnecessary reasons.
I know, but you just gave me a very necessary one.
That was instantity.
That was fucking insanity.
It just happened.
My hands haven't settled.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing about tapes like last week.
Yeah.
Even though I'm being sarcastic, even though I'm joking.
I don't like when people hit me up and be like, yo, you're right.
I'm joking.
I am absolutely positively joking.
By the way, why would the cast of sinners hire a guy who,
really has Tourette's who was really there because they were promoting a movie.
You're not saying they hired him. You're saying that they gave him a microphone.
They put, somebody put a microphone by hand. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, more,
oh, no, no, no, more importantly, more importantly, everybody sitting around wondering why they
they didn't edit it out.
Beb, be, bim, bha, bha, bha, pah, pah, pah, everybody's like everybody
saying, why didn't they edit it out? Because they added out the other stuff.
They edited out everything else. Okay. That one got left in there. Knowledge. Knowledge. Knowledge.
Knowledge.
That one got left in there.
Knowledge.
I'm just saying, okay, whether it was...
Philippians 4-7, speak, we're not spoken to.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
All-pressing, what do they say?
All-Pres is good press, right?
Philippians 4-8.
All-presenting.
I bet you by show yourself...
Hold on.
Hey, I don't want to read this.
What is it?
What is it?
No, I don't want to know.
Okay, here's the thing.
There is no world which you were implying that Michael B. Jordan could have orchestrated something.
No. It's a pure joke, et cetera.
Sarcasm.
Pure sarcasm.
That being said, we know that the people in Hollywood, these PR firms, are diabolical enough to do far more heinous shit.
I mean, they're already on audio doing far more heinous shit.
Or you make lemons out of lemonade.
Like, don't waste a, what does they say?
Never waste a tragedy.
Never waste a, there's a term in a...
If something like...
Because I'm really...
I mean, we do have to think to ourselves.
why did they leave that one in?
Why the fuck did they leave that?
I'm just talking about the Baptist.
When I say they, I'm talking about the Baptist.
Why did the Baptists leave that one in?
Probably to bring attention to their award show, right?
And then also by doing that,
they bought attention to the moment, right?
Because Sinna's is a year and some change old.
Sinus came out February of last year, right?
So it brings, it just reheats the fire
under this movie and get to everybody talking about this movie again
and now the movie is on streaming services.
So if you didn't see it, you might turn it on and watch it and realize like,
oh shit, this movie was freaking phenomenal.
So it's one of those things that, no, it wasn't orchestrated by the cast of sinners.
Of course.
Right?
But for whatever reason, the Bactors decided to leave that N-word in the actual broadcast.
It benefited the castor.
I don't think it benefited the movie.
I don't think it did.
I think all attention is good attention.
I don't think anybody saw that and they're like, you know what?
Unless it's Timothy Sholomey type of tension.
Is Timothy Sholomey Jewish?
Jewish?
I don't know.
Why?
I just asking.
Why are you shaking that?
Hey, Chris.
Here we go.
I'm asking.
Why are you asking?
Why are you asking?
Huh?
Oh, I get it.
What?
You think that they attacked Iran to stop Timothy Shalamee from 10?
The Oscar?
Is that what?
you're saying?
I think you need to say that sarcasm.
You said it.
You said it.
You said it.
I didn't say that.
You said it.
They'll clip it and say Andrew Shoeff says.
No, Charlemagne said.
Charlemagne the God said.
All I was going to simply say was that in moments like that, you can't be the aggressor.
Timothy was the aggressor.
So Timothy didn't get no sympathy.
Timothy went out there and shit on a group.
That's what.
Timothy went out there and shit.
on ballet people and shit on people who did opera so much so that the op that the ask is saying oh watch
this misty coaklin come out here and do some ballet they did throw it in his face do some ballet they did throw in
in his face and pan to timothy while misty's on stage doing his ballet i damn to make a fucking face
we'll have him and katelyn escorted out of here okay listen okay listen so all i'm saying is you're saying
that if Tim he wanted would have been white supremacist.
No, I'm saying that you are...
What was the movie called?
Oh, shit.
Whitey Supreme.
Yo!
That's crazy!
Yeah!
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Are you saying right now
with no satire or the brilliantist
podcast that after an N-WR was thrown out
at the Bafters,
they admit the Oscars could not possibly
give a single Oscar to the movie Whitey Supreme.
Is that what you're saying?
Whitey Supreme wouldn't even be nominated at the Oscars.
But it was too late.
The nomination was already out.
I don't think the N-word at the Baptist
have anything to do with it.
What I'm saying is what I'm saying is
what I'm saying is Martin Supreme.
What do you think?
So we have our listeners, right?
We have our listeners.
Our listeners are nowhere nuts.
I know, I know.
But what do you think they think when they listen to our whole episodes and then they go on the internet and see people taking the shit that we say seriously?
They're like, what the fuck is happening?
They're like, what the fuck is wrong?
You know, this show is called a brilliant idiot.
You don't think it's enjoyable for them?
Like, they get to listen to it and then they know that that week.
They do.
They do.
Yeah.
It's like when we did the episode where we did the Taylor Swift Beyonce thing.
And I literally said, bro, I'm about to tell y'all something that's complete bullshit.
It's just me I'm lying, but they're still going to clip it and turn it in the news.
Amen.
And I did the whole Beyonce.
Can't go out in public because of the Michael Jackson law.
Taylor Swift can't go out in public because of the Michael Jackson law.
Like, what the fuck, yo?
By the way, same thing right now.
All I'm simply saying is this is satire, all right?
But because of a bad situation that happened at the Baptist, I do believe all press is good press.
And it did come back ultimately to benefit.
I think the film.
Just because people probably,
it was on more people's radar at the time.
And then you're saying it influenced the votes?
Because isn't this all done through votes?
It's not like there's like a shadowy figure
at the head of the Oscars, right?
This is just what people.
The voting was done
a day after
the Baptist.
That's when the ballots came in.
So all I'm simply saying is
at top of mind awareness is a thing, people.
Ryan Cougall even said it when he was on stage.
Ryan Coole was like,
you know, thank the Academy for, you know, showing love to a movie that's a year old.
Please, please sit out because I'm very nervous and they're going to play me off.
Because I'm from, I grew up in Oakland, Richmond, California, and we can talk a lot.
So I want to thank the Academy for thinking of our movie that came out almost a year ago.
Like, top of the mind awareness matters.
I don't know how Marty Supreme got so hot.
And that shit came out in December.
Bro, Ryan, Ryan is so funny.
On into Ellis.
He's so unattended.
Because he sold Oakland, baby.
He's so Oakland.
Did you see him talking about how he got into baking bread during the pandemic?
No.
Oh, my God.
You got to find this clip.
Because it sounds like a sketch a comedian would do about Ryan Cuehler being so Oakland.
Ryan's genius, bro.
But you got to see it like the passion, but still with the act.
Find him talking about baking bread.
Ryan is so genius.
Ryan said that he got, he was inspired by Nipsey Hustle and his brother, Black Sam,
when he created the character's smoking stack.
Oh, wow.
Like, just stuff like that.
Like, he was like, y'all was listening to Young Dolph.
Like, I think his cousin of somebody is from Memphis.
Like, all of the different ways he gets inspiration to create stuff like Senna's is fantastic.
Over the pandemic, like everybody, I started baking.
But unlike everybody, I never stopped.
So I'm still baking all the time.
And one of the first things I, one of the first thing.
What are you baking?
I make, I make sourdough mostly, but also, like anything, any baked good,
first thing I try to line how I do is make a croissant.
And I've quickly discovered.
it's like a three-day process
and it's like really fucking complicated
a lot of measuring and
I can't imagine
and a lot of you gotta like
and the butter got to be a certain quality
it's got to be kept at a certain temperature
or else you'll fuck it up
but for my whole entire life
I just thought a croissant was like some easy shit
you go grab at the donut shot
I don't even think about
like how many layers is in it
when you bite into it
I never thought about the flakes
and how much
work and science it takes
I just know croissants taste good
so for me I was thinking about this movie
like a croissant
Some people, some people, like, they bake, they're going to cut the croissant over,
and they're going to count how many layers or any.
They're going to taste the quality of the butter and all of that shit.
And that's cool for some people, you feel me?
Like, most people just want to eat a, I just want something quick for breakfast.
I was trying to do is make a movie that worked for everybody who was hungry.
And for people who like to break down the layers and really dig into it,
like, it's there for them.
You know what I mean?
It would discover, like, a lot of folding and good quality ingredients.
There's people who just was like, fuck it, I just want a croissant.
It's there for them too, you know what I mean?
And they'll be happy if that makes sense.
It's just crazy how sarcasm is a lost art, man.
Well, I think there's just too much money and taking people seriously.
You know what I was thinking, too, though?
I was thinking that somebody was looking for a way to shit on Michael B. Jordan.
Because there's nothing you can hate on Michael B. Jordan for.
There's nothing you can hate on sinners for.
So somebody was looking for a reason to be miserable about it
and used my clip to do it.
Oh, so you think they weaponized your clip to undercut his victory?
Yeah.
But I said this before, Cittance came out.
I said this last week.
Yeah, but I didn't see the reaction to it until after he won.
I think it probably got bigger after he won.
But the thing that I found interesting is like,
because if you actually, that means you were watching brilliant idiots.
So if you were watching brilliant idiots,
you clearly know that I was in here.
shitting on Timothy Shalemay.
Unnecessarily.
I don't think it was unnecessary.
Good kid.
He's a sweet kid.
I'm sure he is.
But baby.
Great actor.
Hey, put your big boy panties on, Timothy.
Welcome to the Big League.
Right.
You should be happy that I'm hating on you.
You should be happy.
You should say, damn, yo.
Fuck the Oscar.
I made it when Charlemagne is shitting on me.
Because everybody I shit on blows up.
Oh, thank God.
Yeah.
What?
I only shit on that.
I was like, I'm about to have my moment.
I only shit on the best.
No, when you shit on people, they revert to, like, white art forms.
But he's already making a ping pong move.
So it's like, damn.
You know what I mean?
It's like, you know, it's different.
Can we be happy that ping pong won't get hot in America because of this shit, bro?
Yeah, I mean, what's wrong with racquet sports?
No, don't do that.
You know what I mean?
What's wrong with racquet sports?
You know what I mean?
I'm just saying, I love racquet sports.
Don't do that.
I love paddle.
I love tennis.
Tennis is fire.
You know.
Pedal is fire.
Don't put a little on it.
Ping pong.
It's a ping pong.
I used to bond with my father on ping pong.
It was fantastic.
When you was a kid.
That's a little kid's game.
He was an adult.
That's my playing with his little kid.
That's something you do with children.
Yeah.
And it boxes.
Boxes love ping pong because of hand-eye coordination.
Everybody loves ping pong.
If you can't fight, you shouldn't be doing ping pong.
What?
Yo, you know who played ping pong?
He shouldn't be doing ping pong.
Forrest Gump played ping pong.
You're going to hate on Forrest?
Farrs could fight.
Barr's will fuck you up.
He could run.
He can run.
I don't know if he can't.
No, Fars can, what?
Faris fought.
He fought in Fores Gump.
Who'd he fight?
Somebody that was disrespecting Jenny?
Who'd he fight?
I don't remember who he fought.
Who did you remember?
No, I don't look it up.
I don't remember him fucking somebody up.
Who'd he beat up?
Me thinking, damn, they really are strong.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
Fars is a world-class athlete, bro.
Didn't he fuck up the Black Panther?
Did he?
Didn't the Black Panther put his hands on Jenny?
According to Vietnam War.
So you're telling me he only beat up minorities in Flores Cope?
We're not going to let that slide?
We're not going to let that slide at all.
Oh, man.
Wasn't that the scene where, like, Jenny was chilling with the Black Panther food?
I didn't remember him biting somebody in the movie and him fucking.
somebody up. Maybe I'm making all of this stuff.
You get bigger. No.
There was a scene. Farr's Gump definitely got
he got some licks in. Faris Gump definitely got into a fist fight, bro.
He definitely got into a fist fight.
Ginny had HIV in that movie, but they couldn't
say it was HIV back then. What they said it was.
They didn't never say. They just said it was like some type of disease,
like some type of life-threatening disease, but the director at the time
said that it was supposed to be HIV back.
Jenny's abusive boyfriend.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, the Black Panther.
He was a Black Panther?
He fucked up that they made them abusive, right?
That's fucked up.
They made them abusive.
And the white man gotta come save the day.
That's fucked up.
And then what did Jenny get out of it?
Farr's Gump was a minority, bro.
Forrest gave her yellow fever.
No, she didn't get that from Forrest.
What do you think he brought back from Vietnam?
I thought Jenny had HIV.
Now, that's what you, that's what everybody thought.
No, but the director said that.
Homophobic.
No, why?
She's not gay.
But she was hanging out with him.
I don't know what you're talking about, right?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know what we just did.
Can we, oh, now we can't dissect Horace Gump, huh?
Now we can't criticize a white man.
I love Forrest Gump.
Speaking of criticizing white men, brim, brim, brim, brim, brim.
Oh, what we got?
Jack Harlow's new album is trash.
Yo, come on, son, man.
Can a white boy get some motion, bro?
Get a white boy.
Jack Harlow's new album.
Stop.
That is calling most definitely not a monk.
That wasn't the best name.
The best name was.
The best name was...
Ryan McWythe.
The best name was Music Rothschild.
Hilarity.
Oh, that's great.
That's the best.
IRS 1 was hilarious.
Iris 1 was good.
Dressed like L.L. Cool, whip.
I don't know.
Because I don't even think L.L. dressed like that.
Jamie Foke.
No.
No, the other one was 50 pence.
Home death.
What do we think about this album?
Seriously.
I don't like it.
I haven't listened.
But Jack seems like a sweet kid.
Jack is just trying to make music.
This is a perfect example.
that interview?
Cream Latifah, hilarious.
That was good.
But, like, first of all, I don't know,
Jack always seemed like he had a sense of humor,
so he might find this kind of stuff fun.
But then again, you're also, like,
putting out a piece of art
and, you know, people are making fun of it.
That's always got to hurt.
Well, do you feel like that
if it's not really your main piece of art?
Like, if it's not your main thing.
I think if you put time and effort into anything,
you're going to be sensitive about it.
He didn't put no time in effort than that shit.
Yo, come on, bro.
That shit.
Hey, listen.
And I like Jack Hall.
I got to listen to it.
I've listened to it,
twice because I thought I was being hard.
Do you know like the concept of it?
The concept of it?
I think I like the concept.
Monica?
Yeah.
What's the concept of?
Yo, they were reaching with that one.
What's the concept of, right?
No, but the name, Monica?
Yeah, Monica, he's trying to be more blacker.
I don't think.
No, no, okay, okay.
Can you go to the clip where this all started from?
Yeah.
Because I think...
This didn't start from the clip from me.
No, no, I know.
I know.
But he was, he was being interviewed by some people.
And he was interviewing by these two guys.
I don't know if they're from the New York Times,
New York Times.
The Pop.
Yeah, and sorry for not knowing your guys name.
What's the caption say?
But they look familiar.
Chris knows their name.
What's the name, Chris?
That was John Caramanico was up there?
Oh, I didn't know this John up there.
I only watched the clip though.
So watch this.
What's the caption say, Taylor?
Our white rappers...
Jack Hart.
No, no, click the more.
Just watch the...
A white rapper is more affordable.
White rapper is more affordable.
We can buy white rappers now.
That's not.
Now we're getting some wands and stuff.
My cortisol.
My cortisol spiking again.
Let's hit Press Playtale.
White rappers are afforded more freedom to change their genre.
True or false?
I might have to think about that.
I'd like to hear your answer to Joe's question,
but also then talk about what I feel is like the radical twist of what you have chosen.
Well, I'll piggyback off with John saying.
John saying you didn't retreat into a whiter genre.
In fact, you arguably went deeper into black music.
Yeah.
Deeper into blackness.
So is that, was that conscious?
Was that a little twist on the typical move that white rappers make,
which is to retreat back into traditionally white sounds?
It certainly made what I already wanted to do even more appealing.
Absolutely.
Because you like pushing that boundary, that line?
I think I love black music.
I love the sound of black music.
I love the sound of black music.
Yeah.
And of course, I'm hyper aware of the politics of today,
that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found.
And of course, it appealed to me to do something that I felt like at a time when
there's plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes, shall I take?
To take the route that not only might not be expected,
but it's also the one I genuinely want to take.
So all the stars aligned in that way for me, to be honest.
I'm not going to pretend like what you're talking about.
I was like, huh, I guess you're right.
I knew that there were multiple things appealing about this route,
but I also came to the decision, I'm proud to say, off of what feels good in my ear.
Can I say something?
Please.
Jack, I want to apologize, Jack, Harlow.
Because I didn't, no, I'm serious.
Because I didn't see that whole clip.
That's the thing.
I only saw the part after he said, I got black.
blacker. I didn't see the whole, and I gave Robin Thick prompts because Robin Thick was saying how he
does black music. Like he didn't say, he said, I do black music, right? That's essentially what
Jack Harlow is saying right here. I only saw the part where he said, I got blacker. So I apologize
for my reaction to that clip, but the album's still white. Okay, okay. So again, you can have your
opinion on the album, that's fine. But this is a perfect example of like the internet, right? They just go,
he goes, I got blacker. That's not what Jack is saying. What he's doing is calling out the interviewers
for not asking the question that they want to ask.
The interviewers are trying to find a politically correct way to say,
hey, you didn't retreat into a white genre, right?
They should have said it like that.
I know, but like not, listen, I'm not being critical,
but like, for example, like a Post Malone,
we know him from rap music,
and now Post is doing all different genres of music.
You should have said that.
Amazingly successful.
That's what they were trying to say
without maybe burning a bridge with Post or without,
so they're being politically correct.
That's what?
They should have said, Post went to do country music,
MGK went to do rock,
you want to go do R&B.
Why not go back to like something that people consider white, even though it's on black?
And then, and then, for example, if Jack, I imagine, did retreat to a whiter genre,
people would be calling him out like, oh, so you came, you got on with rap.
And the second you got on, you go do some white shit so you can be even more popular.
And what he's calling them out is saying, he's basically going, yo, you're trying to say,
I got blacker.
That's the question that you guys are trying to say.
And he's going, yeah, I fucking love black music.
I think it's amazing.
And I understand.
Like, I'm not black dude, but I fucking love it.
I like what he said after when he talks about.
I love black.
Exactly.
He's not going,
this is mine.
He's like,
this is something that I fucking admire
and love.
Like, he's given a props.
That's why I hate the internet.
Because he literally is saying
the right thing.
Like, if you watch the whole clip,
he's not trying to take ownership of the music.
He's submitting himself to this thing going,
this is the shit I love.
Yeah.
You know what's crazy?
How do you answer that question better?
This is what I think.
I think that,
and this is what I heard,
Jack Harlow paid somebody to clip this clip this clip
like that and put it out
because he knew that the negative
feedback from this clip would bring more
attention to his album. That's what I
that's what I was. Now you're thinking. I heard
that. Now, I actually heard that. I heard that
he paid somebody
to clip this clip the way that they did
put it out the way that they put it out.
And then he knew that everybody was going
to react the way they reacting to calling them Cream Latifah
and all of this shit like that. And he knew
that it was going to bring attention. They used
AI and put them in a double turbanel neck.
That's what I heard. I don't know. I don't know
this is true or not, but that's what I heard. His thing, I don't care what type of music you make.
And I don't even like the question that they asked when they said, are white artists afforded
more of a luxury in other genres? I don't believe that. I believe that whenever you're an artist
who's known for one thing, when you cross over to other genres, there's going to always be
critique, always. But the thing that it all boils down to, is it good or not? When Kanye decided to do
808 and heart breaks, that was a risk, but it was good. When Drake does R&B songs, he kind of gets
the benefit of the doubt because he has always done both. But people care if it's good. When
Beyonce comes out with Cowboy Carter, she gets a lot of pushback from some people in country,
but all people really care about is it good? And it was great. And she won album of the year
at the Grammys, the music has to be good.
So, that's it, period.
Yes, I think the question is, like, are white people afforded more, like, leeway?
And I think the argument right there is to pop into other genres.
And it's like, I can see the argument saying, yeah, like, Lil Wayne did the rock album.
Little Wayne does the rock album, freaking, uh, Kid Cuddy does R&B when he wants to.
Andre 3000 did Love Break, you got a speaker box, love, oh, what was it, Love Below,
But like, you got to look at it like...
Beyonce did country.
No, no, no.
The question they're trying to ask
in a very politically correct manner
is, can white people pop in and out of white music?
It's not about going to a different genre.
Hold on. Can white people pop in and out of white music?
Whereas like, easier.
So, for example, can you be a white rapper
and then can you go make rock music?
And is that more acceptable?
And whereas if a black artist that we know
as a rapper ends up doing R&B,
I believe, and again, I don't want to speak for them,
but I imagine they're going, yeah, that's still black music,
so you're allowed to operate.
I think we're also looking at it from the consumer perspective.
Yeah.
Everybody in their genre of music is a snob.
You know what it takes to be a country?
If you're a real country,
you got to go move to Nashville,
you got to go do the radio politics down there
and, you know, kicking with the Bobby Bones of the world,
if you're doing it, right.
If you're doing anybody,
I guarantee you Jelly Road, say the same thing.
Anybody that wants to be in country music,
you got to go to Nashville,
and you got to run the circuit,
and you got to really, like, embed yourself
into the community of Nashville.
So I think anybody in his community...
And Jelly did it on his own.
Like, Jelly didn't choose up with one of these big,
like, massive, you know, country music houses.
Like, he was leased into his shit independent
and it blew up, you know?
So he, like, forced his way into that genre.
So if you're in a genre of music,
you're a snob already.
So we're looking at it from consumers.
So we're just like, you just got to make a good album.
If you're in rock, you ain't just allowing anybody to come into your rock circle.
If you're in country, you're not just allowing anybody to come into your country circle.
If you're in hip-hop, you're not just allowing anybody to come into your hip-hop circle.
Why is Eminem so accepted in hip-hop?
Because he's nice.
Yeah.
Because he's dope.
Why was Mac Miller accepted?
Because he's dope.
You can be a vanilla ice and get some success, but they don't respect you.
There's plenty of white.
God bless, you can be an Iggy Azalea.
and get a little bit respect, be with a T.I. for a second.
But then as soon as you whack in any way, shape, or form, bye.
Get that whack shit off the radio, as the guy did when he called Sway Show.
Because the whole world is watching and the paparazzi is flocking,
and we flash it when we drop in and we shut down your part team and his end.
John and Tennessee, go ahead.
What you want to say?
That shit is fucking trash, though.
Get the fuck off the airwaves.
So you have to be accepted by the genre.
the people in the genre first.
And that's based on the quality of the music.
Yes, I think so anyway.
I think so.
So you're saying if Jack's album was better,
there would be less scrutiny around.
If Jack's album was good,
I don't even think it would be a conversation.
Interesting.
If Jack's album was good,
the conversation would majority,
majority,
majoritally would be,
oh, this album is dope.
It's a dope album.
It would still be a conversation
about switching genres.
Anytime somebody tries to switch a genre,
people are going to have a conversation.
But you're saying it would be less.
But the good music would overshould.
Beyonce's proof of that.
No, you're right.
It's like a hit song is a hit song.
It's something primal about the way that we connect to it.
Like I listen to that fucking K-pop demon hunter's song, Golden.
Fire.
That shit is incredible.
Fire.
I'm trying to tell you.
Somebody said to me on the radio this week, man,
Sinner should have won every category.
I said, nope.
Anybody who says Sinner should have won every category,
especially the best song category,
y'all ain't got no keys.
Because that golden song...
No, his song is incredible.
Shit.
His music and food are the only thing that cut through.
I've been hearing that golden song for so goddamn long in my house, man.
Mm-hmm.
I can't even, I know it so much.
I sing the lyrics wrong.
Go.
I'm done hiding.
Now I'm shining.
Like does he lives to be.
Like I'm born to be.
Like I'm born to be.
Like I hear that shit so fucking much.
Oh, I can't do that.
You know, that song, that Golden is out of here.
That shit is like, that shit is on its way to...
What is that song from Frozen?
Let it go. Let it go.
That's not a way to that.
It's only been a year.
Yeah.
That's on the way to that.
Like, if you, you don't have no kids if you didn't think Golden should win best song.
Taylor said she never heard of that song.
You don't got to, PJ's Young.
Yeah, what movie did on?
Talking to that, Mike.
What movie did on?
It's K-pop Demon Hunters.
Oh, that's what it's called.
Yeah.
I know Chris.
That was the crew.
You don't know it?
Get the fuck out.
You've never heard the song Golden?
Yeah, play it one time.
We've got to cut it, obviously, but play it one time.
Chris's kids are older.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Yeah, but I think even teenagers watch that shit.
Like, I thought that, I heard the movie was incredibly successful and not just if you're into anime, maybe.
Got it.
You're not a kid or anti-animate, you probably miss it.
Yo, can you guys tell me?
Yeah.
Tell me the history with, tell me the history with Black American.
and anime.
I don't know.
He said what?
No, there's,
there's this, like, deep connection
between, and it's, I think it's...
You know why?
Anime is dope!
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
It's really that simple.
Yeah, there's a lot of things.
There are a lot of things that are dope, right?
That's all it takes!
I'm not saying it doesn't, but, like,
still there has to be a moment
where, like, a group of people find a thing.
Like, for example, what is his name?
Kenny Rogers was incredibly popular in Jamaica.
Like, he would do stadium shows in Jamaica.
And I'm like, okay, well, like, when did Jamaicans find Kenny Rogers?
Country is popular in Jamaica.
There was a reason for that.
Yeah.
Because in the 50s and 60s, the Jamaican radio was actually government-controlled and very kind of
like conservative in the song they played.
And they were able to pick up a powerful station in Nashville.
Get the fuck out of.
New Orleans.
So there are a lot of country stars to this day who are massive in Jamaica because the
restriction of music there and they would.
So they would pick up these American stations.
and they would just listen to a straight country.
So Kenny Rogers, there's a female country star
who still does stories.
There's a situation like that.
Lionel Richie, for some reason, is huge in Iraq.
He's, like, one of the biggest stars to this day in Iraq.
They're just people around the world for whatever reason.
So there's like, remember the guy from Baywatch, David Hasselhoff?
Come on, man.
Remember he was huge in Germany?
Michael Knight.
Well, I guess the last name Haskell.
Because Kit was a German car.
Okay.
Was it even?
I don't even think it was.
So then, okay, so when does, when does anime come become incredibly popular in Black America?
I'm looking at it now.
Tell me.
It says, early influenced Afro-diasporic culture and anime, long before anime had visible black characters, black culture influenced the aesthetic and storytelling.
It was a project called Yasuke that came out in the 1500s, an African man who became a samurai under Oda Nabunaga.
His story later inspired anime like Yasuke, which is.
He's on Netflix.
The fusion of hip-hop and samurai culture became a defining vibe in shows like Samurai Champlu,
heavily inspired by hip-hop culture, and of course,
Oh, Afro-Samurai, created by Takashi Okazaki and voiced by Samuel L. Jackson.
Even when characters weren't black, black musing, fashion, and attitude-shaped anime-style,
especially in the late 90s in 2000s.
Then it starts, anime's US explosion, wouldn't look the same without black viewers.
Blocks like Tunime introduced shows like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Sail,
Laman.
And they said these shows aired heavily in urban markets and they built strong black fan
bha.
So here's the thing.
When I was growing up, anime, and I wonder what your take is on this, Al, is you grew up in
the city too.
Anime was consumed by Asians and some black people.
And I think it even went before anime.
I think it was like some of the kung fu movies.
Well, that was the 70s with the, I can remember a time where black guys were walking around
in Chinese slippers and the kung fu.
and all that.
And that was...
Yeah, that was cool.
Well, you think the last dragon
and all of that shit came from?
That's right.
You're watching movies like Shaft
and I'm going to get you sucker.
They was walking...
Like, we've always loved karate and Kung Fu.
That's why even when you ask me by anime,
I'm like, I've known anime from the beginning of time.
But is Shaft influenced in a way by the Kung Fu genre?
When there was a Kung Fu guy in Shaft.
Wasn't it the black Kung Fu guy in Shaft?
Kung Fu is Chinese and anime is largely Japanese.
Is my understanding.
Yeah, there was always like martial arts.
people were always gravitated towards that in the hood
and even we were so big on anime
that when the boondocks came out
we were like oh shit that shit is anime style
like it was like the
I'm not gonna say the first black anime cartoon
but one of the first cartoons that I saw that had
the anime style that was like hip hop
you know what I'm saying
and street yeah so
I think part of it is that
most animas have like the underdog
outsider theme
and I think black people relate to that
Oh, I think like every single anime, it's the outsider underdog who ends up like.
Or is avenging.
Yeah, yeah.
I will say this.
I think it's like a general, I'll call it nerd culture for lack of a better term.
Right.
I know I go to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden Cherry Blossom Festival every year, which is a Japanese festival.
And like, I'd say 15 years ago, I noticed, I was like, and people, teenagers come dressed up in anime costumes and like, they're like larping.
LARPing as Jack.
Yeah, but like 15 years ago, I was like,
damn, half these kids are black, right?
Like, but according to these history
has always been that way.
It says, it says, anime draws from hip hop,
black fashion, slang, and rhythm,
black creators and fans,
cosplay, create anime, inspired art,
build communities online.
It says anime didn't just discover black people
and black people didn't just discover anime.
I think the
affection for anime existed
before hip hop.
Like hip hop,
Hip-hop comes to real mainstream prominence probably in the 90s.
This is before that.
Absolutely.
I mean, think about it, man.
People used to gather, and I mean, I'm conflating the two.
But if you gathered around the radio to listen to Kung Fu Flicks,
why wouldn't you gravitate towards anime when you saw this on your screen?
Like, come on, guys.
Like, Wu-Tang was inspired by the martial arts flicks of the 50s and 60s and 70s and 80s.
You know, Wu-Tang, perfect example.
Yes.
Like, hmm.
I'm sorry.
We're saying all that to say,
Jack Harlow's album is terrible,
and Timothy's shot away
lost the Oscar.
It's brim, brim, brim, brim, brim, brim, brim, brim, brim.
Why can't we just celebrate Michael B's victory?
Because that's not what podcasts are about.
All right?
Podcasts are about saying things to get the people going.
Free Timmy, man.
Free Timmy.
Timmy's free.
Tune three.
Coming out.
Pimmis free.
By the way,
there are a lot of think pieces
with no thought.
about this Timothy Shalamey thing.
And the reason I say that, though,
because who said that he had it in the bag?
Yeah, that's how it was gonna ask you.
Like, like, Leo was, like,
this might have been like the toughest,
best actor category I probably can,
that I can remember in a long time.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawk,
Michael B. Join Timothy Shalami,
who was the fifth person?
Sure.
Who was the fifth person?
That was not, what was Ethan Hawking?
Like, what was his movie?
Wasn't Frankenstein, was it?
What was it?
I don't know, but just,
being a badass.
I don't remember who.
Ethan Hawke is nice, bro.
He's nice.
Who was the fit person?
Wagner.
Oh, Wagner.
Yeah.
Yeah, Brazilian.
It was tough, bro.
It was a tough category.
Like, this is one of them ones.
I think it was Timothy or Michael B.
I think everybody knew that those were the top two.
I don't know, but Leo's performance in that movie was pretty good, too.
I've seen Leo do better.
I didn't watch it.
I didn't see the movie.
I didn't like it, though.
I like, I like, I like, this is.
I didn't like the movie one bad of laughter.
another. This is my, uh, ooh, hot take. I didn't, I thought it was too long. You bill it as a
comedy. I, I, I didn't lie. I didn't get no jokes out of it. It was, it was, it was, it was, it was
one of those movies that's just like, eh. This is the reason why I thought it was going to be
Timmy or Michael B is because at a certain point, the award shows are used to celebrate the actors and the
next generation of actors that are going to carry the industry.
So not saying that Leo's done at all, like Leo's one of the goats, Mount Rushmore,
but it's in the industry's best interests, I would imagine, to shine a light on these two
young stars that are going to carry, you know, the next massive franchises for probably the next
decade.
Well, actually, they say that, you know, you usually don't win an Oscar when you're young.
They say the Academy doesn't reward your...
Well, Michael B. Michael B is how old?
40?
30.
Look it up.
30, probably 38.
36.
Like he's not before.
No, he might be in his, he might be like 40.
That's the, Michael B is not young.
He might, he might be just 40.
He's 39.
39, yeah.
So he'd be probably 40 this year.
That's a, so it's like, if this is going to be one of the guys that's clearly going to be at the, you know, the pinnacle of Hollywood.
I can reward that.
That's what I'm saying.
They made Leo wait, bro.
That's what I'm saying.
What did Leo get it for?
Oh.
He got raped by a bear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, you know, Timmy got to pay his dues, bro.
He ain't get raped by a bear yet.
Gotta pay your dues, you know?
This is probably the best thing that could happen to me
is now he'll have the redemption arc
and then when he does win it, it'll be a lot bigger.
Yeah, it's like a WW is like, yeah, yeah.
Do your girlfriend's mother's biopic, bro.
That'll get you to Oscar.
Girlfriend.
Do your girlfriend's mother's biopic.
That'll get you to Oscar, boy.
That'll get you to Oscar.
Which mom?
That'll get you to Oscar.
Which mom?
You know the mom I'm talking about.
The mom that if they say, what were you like in the 90s?
What were you like in the 90s?
Yo, that what were you like in the 90s?
That's anti-trans propaganda.
Damn.
Why don't we talk about that?
Why don't we talk about that?
What were you like in the 90s?
Why are you making these people out their old lives?
It's not included.
Everybody can go back to the 90s
to celebrate that.
It's not an inclusive challenge.
It's not, bro.
It is not an inclusive challenge.
Charlie, man, your mic turn it around.
It is not an inclusive challenge.
You are absolutely right about that.
Yeah.
You're 100% correct.
Let's pay some bills.
Huh?
What, Taylor?
It goes for you too.
Whoa.
What do you mean?
Whoa.
That's crazy.
Why did I get a shot?
I know.
Why did you shoot at me just now?
When you did yours.
What did I do?
No doubt.
What did I do for my 90s challenge but post videos and pictures of me from the 90s, Taylor?
Why are you hating on me, Taylor?
Taylor.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor?
Taylor.
Let's pay some bills, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.
Taylor, Taylor, gang.
Teller.
Tattle Taylor.
Taylor, did you give us your opinion on the Oscars?
or did you give us your opinion on Jack's album or anything else?
Well, I haven't heard Jack Harlow's album at all.
We ain't missing that.
But I didn't like the name.
Damn.
But I don't think I like the name Monica for some reason it bothers me.
Bro, the speed in which the internet turned that into the N-word was hilarious.
Huh?
You didn't see this one?
It's like the only way a white person could say my.
Oh, shit.
None of y'all stopped.
What happened?
What happened?
I missed it.
Oh, my gosh.
Monica is the closest thing a white person is saying that my-
Wow.
Yo, Jack.
Yo, Jack.
That's fucked up, Jack.
No, no, no.
Jack.
Yo, Lo-Kishallah likes it.
You can see him for him.
Jack, that's fucked up, Jack.
That is fucked up.
Come on, bro.
You guys are thinking too hard.
You're thinking too hard.
Jack going to say that and slip up.
Watch.
Jack going to be in some interview and be like, why did you name it like that?
And he was like, Monika, Monika.
And he's going to slip.
He's going slip.
Yo, why did he name it Monica?
I think he loved a girl named Monica.
Why is that so hard to believe?
He loves a black girl named Monica.
How do you know she's black?
I've never met a white girl named Monica.
You never met a white girl.
I'm not even saying it.
I'm not even saying it.
Mo.
You never knew a Mo?
You never knew a white girl named Mo?
You know what this album would have been good for?
Drewski.
If Drewskiy would have put this album out.
Biggest album on the fucking.
visual, you know what I'm saying?
Everybody would be like, yo, this shit is hilarious.
This shit slap.
Stop.
It's the fact that...
Let him live, man.
We can't.
It's the fact that Jake is an actual artist putting this out.
I mean, Jack, that Jack is an actual artist putting this out.
If Drusky puts out this same album...
In Whiteface or Dr.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Just the same album, just him, singing R&B, doing the visuals.
you know, pretending to be a Neil's song artist
because he's already done that.
Out of here.
Okay.
Out of here.
If you're a marketing genius like you are
and you have to sit down with Jack during this time,
what do you tell him to do?
Buckle up, buddy.
Buckle up.
You fucked up.
You should have came to me before you decided to put this shit out.
Because you would have let me hear this album.
I would have said, you know what, Drewski's your guy.
Give this to Drusky.
Comedians do R&B, and it's funny.
Eddie Murphy, party all the time.
That's a great song.
Boogie in the butt.
Fire.
Boogie in the butt.
You remember boogie in the butt?
Eddie Murphy did boogie in the butt.
You remember boogie in the butt?
I didn't remember it was Eddie Murphy.
That's Eddie Murphy.
Boogie in the butt.
Puggy in the butt.
Now, Jamie was different because Jamie's actually
ridiculously talented.
He's a train music.
He's unbelievably talented.
So Jamie actually makes real music, right?
Duval is talented, but Duval still makes things
that are like comical if you want to do.
Yank this? Huh?
Yank this is dick.
That's for you,
John. That's for you, Timmy.
All right?
It's his payback.
But he didn't.
He said, huh? He said, huh?
That's count.
As long as your mouth was open.
Yeah, that's it.
As long as your mouth was open,
I could put something in it.
All I'm saying is, if Jack Harlow
would have gave this album
to Drusky.
And Drusky would have
did a visual to all the songs
playing around laughing.
Not even all the songs.
Just a couple of them.
Out of here.
We'd be sitting around like,
yo, this shit for the spring and summer.
People would be playing the shit on the radio.
People would be playing this shit in the clubs
because it's Drusky.
And that's the problem with this project.
It looks like a sketch.
It looks like a skit.
It looks comical.
I can't take it serious.
I got to listen to it.
I can't listen to it.
Come on.
If he wasn't white, could you take a serious?
It's not even about the whiteness.
What if he was, what if he was in Asian?
The music just isn't good.
The music just is not good, man.
It's really, not one song?
Come on.
I don't hear it, bro.
I don't hear it.
The music isn't just, it's not good.
The reason it would work for a drusky because it's drusky.
So you'd be listening to it.
It wouldn't even, yeah, he'd go, what's this, what's this called?
Can you not imagine Drusky?
Imagine if that was Drusky walking down the street, just like that.
You'd be laughing.
He's mad.
He sound like he playing.
If at the time, then the time it's time it sung it out, I would like a
No, you wouldn't.
Listen, all you got to do is get that little beat with the little drum and all you got to do is go,
Someone worked hard on this man.
This is...
This sounds like...
Somebody's hard.
You were on...
This guy's...
It's all you got to do is just change directions with the same melody.
It's the same
It's the same
Don't
Look down
Dinn
Dene Dinn
Dennin
Dennit
It's the same melody
In 20 different
directions
Or if he named his
album Sarah
Or something
Sarah
Carrie
You got to name it
Carrie
Turn your mic
Your mic
Upside
Yeah
It's upside down
You know
The name in the album
Sarah
Turn it the other way
Yeah
What were you going to say, Chris?
I was going to say you were on a film set with him, right?
Yes, yeah, I did.
White Man Can't Jump too.
It stuck with me.
Yes.
He said that he was one of the most confident people you'd ever been around.
Very confident.
Like, I think you were saying.
Not try hard at all.
When they were giving him direction, he wasn't uncomfortable, he was accepting.
So I think he'll be all right with this.
You know what's so crazy.
This is when you know somebody's art is whack,
because you've got to start talking about how good of a person he is.
I didn't say it was a great guy.
I like Jack Harlow.
If Jack Hollow walked in here right now, I'd be like, Jack, what up?
I like Jack Harlow.
This is just not a good project.
He's a great guy.
Every time I met him, he's at a great spirit, he's funny, all of that.
This is just not good.
That's it.
I expected there to be more singing if you called it an R&B.
That wasn't really singing.
Now you understand us.
Now you understand us.
I ain't look up.
I like his other.
I like it other songs, but I don't know.
I feel like, you can't brighten up for Leon Thomas.
Stop disrespecting Leon Thomas like that.
The beat of it sounds little Leon Thomas.
No.
Listen, I am all for artists creating whatever they want to create in the studio.
But once you give it to us to public, we get to create content.
All right.
Salute to Jack Harlow, though, man.
Are there any white R&B singer?
that youths religion.
What are you talking about?
Robin Nick.
Robin Thick?
Yeah.
What do we talk?
Robin Thick is phenomenal.
Walking in Memphis.
Have you ever heard the evolution of Robin Thick?
Yo, I listened to the evolution of Robin Thick album last night.
Because I got into an argument with I'm not going to say who.
And they was like, I don't know.
The Jack Hall album kind of remind me the evolution of Robin Thick.
And I almost fucking lost it.
I was like, do you understand?
I said, not only did I interview Robin Thick today,
but I said, do you understand the evolution of Robin Thick had a
Lost Without You on it?
Jack Harlow wish he could make something like Lost Without You.
Shooters with Little Wayne on that.
You ready?
The title track with Faith Evans?
Oh my God.
Best White R&B singer of all time?
Who do you say?
You guys know this?
I mean, that beat is phenomenal.
You guys know this song.
I heard the beat.
I don't.
I don't know what that.
Once this shit hits.
Is that Ray Lazzania?
That's Ray Lazzania.
Most people don't even know this guy's white.
That's the way you.
Do it.
There's a lot, no, no, no.
There's a lot of songs that black people take in and deny reality.
You have no clue.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
What's his name?
It's Ray something.
Ray Lazzania.
No, it's not.
It's Ray La-Sompton.
It's Ray LaMontaine.
You know it.
Give me that verse, bro.
Come on, Ray La Mottia.
Do it.
All right.
All right.
You can tell me bad.
Bro, Tina Marie.
Darrell Hall
Robin Thick
John B
here it is
you know
ready
you are the best
I know
oh yeah I've heard it
you haven't heard this song
did it
I heard you
I don't know
I don't know
fire
that's fire
yeah that's fire
now you can't play that
and then play
Jack Hall a little shit
and this is like a Ben Affleck
Sam Smith
Ed Shearing
now these
oh hold on
Bobby Hatfield
is the person
we're talking to
I got, Robin Thick is my guy
and Tina Marie.
Tina Marie is a separate category.
Robin Thick, phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
Ed, Ed,
dabbles in the R&B.
Ed can,
Ed can definitely do it all.
Ed can do it all.
Ed did it.
Ed is so beloved.
But I think Ed started
in white music.
White music,
whatever the fuck that means.
I mean,
what is he does rock or roll?
I mean, Ed does it.
Yeah, Ed does his,
all music is our music.
Technically, what is Ed.
Ed, Shearing, can do whatever the fuck.
He can do whatever he wants.
But why does he wants?
But why does he does he wants.
But why he does he does he does he does.
is he and is it just because of the level of music or is he's so beloved is it he's talented
ed can get up there with just a guitar jack's talented too not not like not like ed sharon is a singular
talent i saw ed sharon at msg with just a guitar creating yeah he did the whole show at madison
square garden just a guitar and a loop pedal he created the drum yes by hitting the guitar it was
unbelievable ed could stand in front of anybody from anywhere in the world because music is the only thing
has universal on this planet, music and math, food and food and sex.
But I didn't know sex is universe.
Sex is definitely universal.
Nah.
Yeah.
What you mean?
I don't think it's, yes, it is.
Nah.
Explain to me why before I continue.
We all need sex to procreate.
Sex is universal.
Everybody's sexing.
Even if you're gay sex is universal.
Everybody loves sex, bro.
Everybody's fucking in some way, shape, or form.
I don't know, man.
I've been married, man.
Okay.
What the hell?
Okay, you're right.
But Ed is hand up in.
anybody with that guitar and whether you know what's going on,
you'll be like, oh.
British, British doesn't count, though.
Why is that?
Because British have more soul in American white singles.
Whoa.
That's a fact.
Yo, chill your ass out.
That's a fact.
You're a fucking ass out over there.
Don't you fucking dick.
My cortisol.
Really?
My cortisol.
Oh, is it a good.
I mean, don't you do that.
Phil Collins.
Don't you sting?
Hold on, Phil Collins.
Phil Collins.
You know Phil Collins.
George Michael.
In the air of the night.
Ah.
You know Phil Collins.
Yeah, but I think I never thought a lot of it.
I think Chris's on to something.
No, no.
A mess.
Listen, they don't have the hang-ups that white American R&B singers have.
Yeah, they ain't tripping off whether they're going to be accepted.
But they're also observers.
Oh, for real.
They're observers of the music.
It's not inside them like it is white Americans.
No, there's a whole theory on this.
Chris is right.
There's a soul that exists there that I never thought about, but you're right,
Chris.
There's a wave.
What are we doing this?
right now.
There's a wave of...
What are we doing?
Famous white R&B singers
coming out of England in the 60s,
all the great Steve Winwood.
They don't got one ray lasagna.
They don't have one ray lasagna.
He might be from there.
But they got a Phil Collins.
Bill is that dude.
A George Michael, bro.
What I respect about the British ones is
they don't try to dress the part.
So like Ed Shearing is Ed Shearing through and through.
It's not like when he does the,
the rap or the R&B that all of a sudden he puts on the costume.
Like they,
like Phil Collins was out there looking like he works in like a finance office.
He was wearing like a button down.
Peter Gabriel's,
an even better vocalist and Phil Collins came out.
Sam Smith.
No,
but see,
the difference is that wave came out of post-World War II England.
Oh,
I got you.
They were raised in a bombed out society with rations.
They hated that R&B.
They had the struggle.
They had the struggle.
Holy in them.
Yes.
Amy Winehouse from British, right?
Absolutely.
But I would.
Amy Winehouse, bro.
Can I just make an argument?
Sure.
American country.
American country music is the soul.
Right.
They don't have the hang-ups either.
Exactly.
They're just doing what feels natural of them.
It's theirs.
It's not co-opening.
They also have the pain of now we've got to be equal.
Right.
You know what I mean?
It's a burden.
It's burning them inside.
It's like, we got to work.
Like, they're feeling.
I'm curious about that shit, so it's coming out through the music.
It's the same way.
I can't put Yokit or Luca in the same category as a white American basketball.
I don't know if American country had the same soul as British.
My brother.
My brother.
I think we're mixing pain with soul.
Don't get me started, bro.
I think we're mixing pain, we're conflating pain with soul.
Don't get me started with my man, Tennessee whiskey.
There's between pain and soul.
Tennessee whiskey.
Like, when I listen to Jelly Roll, I hear a pain.
But he got some soul in there too
I mean there's some soul
There's a spirit there
Chris Stapleton
You don't think Chris Stapleton has soul
Informa
That's what he did right
You never disrespect snow ever
Don't you never disrespect snow
I would never disrespect Jack Hollow
Okay
But this is like their best
country song ever made
No it's some country songs
No, but that's like the top.
No, that's probably the top.
Tennessee whiskey is fired.
I fuck with Tennessee whiskey.
Chris Stapleton is fucking.
There's Tableton fire.
Amazing, bro.
He fired.
Listen, Chris Tableton fire.
Everything you hear on burning idiots.
It's just satire.
They haven't heard the past five minutes because we can't play that song or the
damn.
We can't play none of that shit?
No.
Oh, man.
Let's pay some bills then.
Pay some bills, Shulte.
Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling
spreadsheets?
Yes? Good. This is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different. Locked in. Loyal, invested. They're called fans.
Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it, like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify advertising. You're among fans.

podcast festival.
Yeah.
I'm just blessed to be able to do this
four years in a row, man.
The way podcasting has grown
and continues to grow
or never cease to amazing.
Because I don't think people
realize how young the genre is.
How young is the genre, Chris?
15, 16 years maybe?
Let's call it 15.
15 years.
And now you already got,
you know, screaming platforms,
licensing podcasts to be on their
platforms, you know, we're able to have festivals based off podcasts.
And, you know, you never know if something is truly successful or popular if people
aren't willing to pay a ticket to come see it.
And podcasting is that.
Like, I don't, like effect, it's not the only podcast festival out there.
There's, you know, there's others.
But, you know, we do ours every year in Atlanta.
So April 25th, see y'all there, man.
What else we got?
I was reading the story.
That's why I was a little shook up.
I'm not shook up, but I was like, what the fuck?
Because I felt, I heard this shit.
They said a meteor crashed in Cleveland, Ohio?
You heard about that?
Yeah, it said a massive boom that shook northeast Ohio
and was reportedly heard as far away as New York
was the result of a rare daytime meteor.
The fireballs creaked across the sky just before 9 a.m.
And dramatic video posted online showed the media flare-up
as they entered the atmosphere.
Locals flocked to social media.
The report that the boom was so powerful
that it rattled their houses
and even knock pictures off the walls.
Meteorologists Jeff Tanecheck of 19 News said the boom was the result of the meteor breaking the sound barrier,
meaning it was traveling at least 767 miles per hour at the time.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland,
the latest GLM imagery does suggest the boom was the result of a meteor,
referencing the geostationary lightning mapper,
which the Weather Service uses to count lightning strikes during the storm.
I don't believe it.
Yep.
It's a video.
I don't believe it.
Let's see.
You think it's a bomb?
Are you at both?
Somebody reached us?
You hear it?
Unleaded, okay?
Yeah, but keep playing.
Bro, do I get that on my f***ed dash?
Come!
No, bro.
Let me tell you how I know that's something else.
Don't they tell you when medias are coming into the atmosphere?
Exactly.
Exactly.
They've always told us when medias and shit are coming to the atmosphere.
comments and all comments and all that shit.
Like they see when something's on a trajectory
for a long time.
You can't just miss a media.
You don't miss no fucking media.
I heard that shit in New York, bro.
Look for the impact.
Shut up.
I promise you.
We were sitting in the fucking interview.
And I was like, yo, what the fuck was that?
And in my mind, I'm just thinking, like,
as we're in the city.
So I just heard a boom.
I promise you I heard that shit, yo.
Can I ask a dumb question?
Of course, it's yours.
Okay.
You know how we had to pay you?
taxes for like
Madshit. Do we pay NASA
for like stopping meteors
coming? Stopping medias from?
They don't stop it, do they?
Well, NASA's government funded, right? Yeah. Yeah, so technically
we do pay NASA, but you can't
There's not much you can't stop media.
We can't stop them? I mean, there was
a whole movie about it called Armageddon and it
was like going to be the end
of the world and we had to split
the meteor in half so we sent some guys that were
professional drillers into space.
We don't have like a machine to, no.
Not yet.
That was not a meteor.
That was fucking either Thor's hammer or some type of extraterrestrial.
Well, where's the zone in which it land?
Cleveland.
No, but like they got to have a damage zone.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where did it land?
Nah, you're right.
Where the fuck did it land?
Yeah, let's see the damage.
They're saying it broke up by the time it reached out.
Yeah, right.
We just saw the fucking, and that shit broke the fucking sound barrier,
and we can watch it on video clear as day like that.
In the daytime?
It's a most of it burned up in the atmosphere,
so no major impact happened.
Nah, bro.
Why didn't he tell us who's coming?
That's, I think that was.
Well, if there was no impact,
they don't got to tell us it's coming.
Nah, you got to tell us the media's coming, y'all.
Because stuff like that can cause mass hysteria.
They say it may be near Bay Village.
Like, they don't even know where it is.
Nah, bro, we got to see where that shit is.
Did you hear about the dolphins who kidnapped the dude
and took him under the water and made them build a fucking city?
What?
You didn't hear about the thing?
that?
Look it up.
What do I look at?
Dolphins kidnapping a guy.
Look at, look up dolphins.
So then my phone can just be like, shut up, retard.
No, it's not.
I'm telling you.
Listen, at some point,
y'all going to have to start leaning into some of this shit
and believe in some of it.
They made, so the dolphins made him build.
Bro, I've been around a long time.
What do dolphins do in a city?
Huh?
Well, the dolphins are making him build a city.
What would the dolphins utilize the city?
thing we do in a city.
Go to work.
Trust me, there's a higher life form up there that created us.
And somebody said, what the fuck with those fucking things you made called humans doing a city?
No, the city makes sense for us.
And dolphins.
The dolphins are we want to sit on a desk?
How do you know?
Dolph is the smartest shit.
I see it.
Yeah.
Don't tell dolphins what they want to do.
Yes, play this shit, yo.
Yo, why?
Your man claims to have been kidnapped by dolphins.
and forced to build an underwater city.
The man was found early Monday morning
on the side of a beach in Lee County,
soaking wet, dehydrated, and confused.
When deputies arrived,
he was drawing detailed diagrams in the sand.
According to the man, a pot of dolphins took him
while he was swimming and brought him to a place
about 40 feet under the surface.
He said they forced him to help build underwater structures.
He told deputies the dolphins communicated with him using clicks.
He said the group had a leader named Gerald,
who somehow helped him breathe underwater,
possibly by creating an airspace.
space. The man spent three days working on what he described the cities, towns, and condo-like structures.
So dolphins communicate with clicks. Come on. Come on. Come on. You might not like the direction.
No, I think this is a reasonable question. I know exactly where he's going. Come on. If they communicate
with clicks, why don't we ask some people that have clicks in their language if they know what they're
saying? And have you heard the theory of humans evolving from dolphins?
I mean, dolphins have a bigger brain than human beings.
Yes, sir.
So maybe the people with the clicks are the only people smart enough to understand the dolphins.
Yes, sir.
So that's not reasonable.
Yes, sir, dolphins are Africans.
That's what he's saying.
Let's just get to it.
They got the foreheads.
They got the foreheads.
They got the foreheads.
Dolphins are African, y'all.
They do.
Come on, guys.
Come on, y'all, y'all not fucking using your brains.
That's why dolphins are smarter than y'all and they kidnapping y'all and making them work for them now.
I just don't understand.
No, we reached the idiot.
Let me just clarify.
Let me just clarify.
I don't think they're speaking the same language, but in the same way that...
How do you know they're not?
Well, you know how like Spanish and French have similar words?
Okay.
Maybe that's where it's at.
We're like...
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!
It's a romance click language.
Yes, sir.
I was thinking...
Why do we have clicks and they have clicks and there's no way that we can understand each other?
Yes, sir.
Have we tried it?
Yes, sir!
It's hausa, right?
Is that the...
Yes, sir.
It's like, fuck, what is it called?
Listen, the moment that everybody starts realizing we're all intertwined and we're all one,
the world is going to be a better place.
I don't think people are questioning that.
I think him taking a person down building a city is questionable.
How do they take them?
Exactly, that's what I'm saying.
Like, how do they take them?
And you know, dolphins can create this type of smoke ring.
I do know that.
I do know that.
Yes.
You can breathe underwater humans.
I know they can help humans bring on the word away.
Oh man, we're not going to do this.
No, no, no.
Dolphins get high too.
They do get high.
Yeah.
That is true.
She's so.
What is this?
I'm just telling you, I don't know how y'all not, I don't say how y'all can dismiss anything nowadays.
Everything should be on the table.
At some point, people got to open up their minds and start realizing everything possibly could be true.
There is no reason to disson.
dismiss anything in
2006. Everything
should be on the fucking table.
Just say you don't know. I see a story
like that and I'll be like, I don't know.
Because they're not giving me nothing else
to it. They're not telling me that the dude was high.
They said they gave him a toxicology report
and he was perfectly sober. Nobody's saying he got
any mental health issues. They said they found
him on the beach. Sunburned
and disoriented. Did he finish the city?
No, you got to go back.
No, press play. If you press play,
to tell you that, he got to go back.
You got to go back.
I think we got to check the blowholes on those dolphins.
Towns and condo-like structures.
When the dolphins were satisfied with his work,
they sent him back to the surface and told him they would return for phase two.
Medical staff treated him for dehydration,
but found no signs of head injury or mental confusion.
Tests showed seawater and marine particles in his lungs,
suggesting he had been deep underwater for a long time without typical lung damage.
This was unusual and raised questions
for doctors. The man holds a master's degree in aerospace engineering and has experience with deep
sea technology. What he says is why the dolphins chose him. You just now realize that. You just now
realize that. No, why don't y'all give the dolphins they credit? Dolphins smarter than you. You look like a
dolphin a little bit, Alex. Like you look like you evolved from dolphins. Thank you. You do.
Dolphins, yo. I don't know why y'all can't believe this. Why is this so unbelievable to you?
You don't even have a reason. You don't have a reason.
I'm not saying it's true, but you don't have a reason to say it's not.
Because why do they need...
They've been swimming in water all this time, right?
They need a city.
Who said they don't already have them?
Have you ever heard of Atlantis?
You don't know if they already got cities or not.
No, you're right.
You're absolutely right.
Atlanta was a human city.
Underwater.
No.
Yes, it was.
Yes, it was.
No.
It sank.
It sank.
It was originally a human city above water.
The lost city of Atlanta.
And then everybody died.
So what do you think the dolphins have been doing with it?
You think they reclaimed it?
What the fuck?
You think that there's a whole city underwater
and all of the fish are just riding by it.
They're not going to have a good time in that motherfucker.
What would they do?
What do you mean?
They play games like go fish.
You know what I mean?
Shit like that.
What are you talking about?
I don't like the fact that y'all are just dismissing this shit for no reason, bro.
People make this slot for you.
Yeah.
You are making this
fucking, okay?
I'm eating this shit to fuck up.
I have no reason
to not believe
any of this shit
in 2020.
And I'm not saying
I do believe it.
I'm just saying I have no reason
not to believe it either.
Y'all gonna see some straight.
Y'all, we are going to see
some crazy shit
over the next decade, bro.
I think we're just going to stop looking
like the...
We're not even going to believe it.
I think we're going to stop looking.
Like, once you can't believe anything,
you just stop looking.
We established that early in the podcast.
That's why people are going to leave social media.
That's why you're going to leave social media.
That's why you're going to
right.
The return of Christ.
And that's why what?
That's why you're going to miss the return of Christ.
If Jesus came back right now and everybody started posting it on social media,
nobody would believe it.
Yo.
Nobody would believe it.
So you think he's going to postpone it?
He's not coming back for what?
No, eventually.
Yeah, once we're gone.
He's like, you know, we got rid of haul of the riffraff.
Let's clean this place up.
Just us and the dolphins.
But it's the third temple.
It's happening for real right.
now, like, with real consequences, if you look at, like, the Netanyahu death videos, right?
Oh, that's crazy. Like, I've been following that for the last four days. Yeah, what's the, what's the,
I don't know. Is the honest answer? Chris, and another one of my homeboys constantly every day. Like,
I think that yaw is dead, bro. Like, you, they really got me believing that Yahoo's dead. I don't know.
They said this two weeks ago. They said his brother was dead two weeks ago. That I'm not so sure about. But, so he's,
it's gotten big enough that he's released videos addressing it
that are intended to dispel it.
And people are like, those are AI.
And they're breaking it down.
Yo, he has a ring on in this shop.
But then when he goes down like this,
you don't see the ring anymore.
And I will say, I mean,
they're obviously staged in the sense
that he's trying to create scenes to prove that he's a lot.
Yeah.
But something feels off about the videos.
Well, let me ask you a question.
If he was deceased, what would that mean?
like for as far as far as like the war and everything else uh it would it would be a significant i mean
outside of the there's a whole thing with israel that they have the ultimate defenses you can't
break them you know you can only kill someone like netteanu if there's some sort of
in breach or leak right isn't it netting yahoo probably
i was wondering i was like have have we been saying it's jewish i'm like i don't want to
correct him like he probably knows that what's the correct pronunciation
I thought it was Net Ten Yahoo.
Chris pronounces it like he just hit a shot in Yahoo.
Like he shot at Yahoo.
Like he shot a basket at Yahoo and it went in.
He went to high school with my mother, in fact.
That's right, outside of Philly.
Telling him.
Is that true?
I saw that too.
Is that true?
Telling him high.
Notable alumni outside of my mother and him, also Reggie Jackson.
Really?
Stroke on two.
Who?
Stroke on this day.
God damn.
I saw that one.
Chris, I saw that one.
I thought he said a stroke
Well, he did say a stroke.
I saw that one.
You got to blame that on your age.
I had a friend who just, I had a,
I don't know, I have a friend who just had a stroke,
so the second I heard stroke,
my mom,
that's when you know you get old.
When back in the day you hear stroke,
you think stroking.
Yeah, man, stroke got a different kind of change.
You're like, damn, for real.
No way, you got him?
Shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know if he's dead or not.
I just wanted to know what would that mean if he was.
Like, that don't mean the war.
war is over. No, but I'm sure
Iran would claim a huge W.
Who would be, who would take control in Israel
if he... Yeah, who is the number two?
They have a hierarchy
just like we do or any democracy
has. To that point, you would think
that if Iran had pulled that off, they would
want people to know. Maybe they
don't know. Hmm.
Maybe they don't know. I mean, I don't know.
Maybe they don't know. But the
point is that he has to address
it multiple times, not just
one time. Yeah. Like,
Because something that is potentially fake on the internet
can gain traction and become real.
And we really just can't trust anything.
To your point, it's like you can't say anything
is 100% fake anymore and you can't say anything
is 100% real.
That's all I'm saying.
And I don't know why we're not there yet.
I'm there.
That's a weird time.
And by the way, that keeps me seeing
because I'm not going to spend the rest of my life
wondering if something is real.
So if I watch, and by the way,
I've always approached life like that.
If I see something,
I'm either
I don't have to believe it
I don't have to not believe it
I'm just indifferent about it
I can listen to some information
or watch something
and not be influenced by it either way
now if I am influenced by it
because I'm choosing to be
and I don't even think that's influence
it's like all right
I'm leaning I'm going to this side with it
you know what I'm saying
like so everybody's sending me
the stuff about Nanyahu
I don't okay is he dead
is he alive I don't I don't know
I don't know you know
I can only
you know
check off what I know
to be true. Right. And the things that I know to be true is stuff like the FCC chair
threatening people, you know, if they don't fucking have positive coverage of the war.
Like, you can hate the regime in Iran. You can say they do horrible things to their people,
which they obviously do. And then also say that there was no imminent threat through the United States
of America. Simple. Like, those things can be true, right? Simple. Simple. Why can't we keep asking the
question of, hey, y'all told us y'all got rid of.
their nuclear, their capability to make nuclear weapons last summer.
So you're either lying about that or you're lying now.
There's a lie here.
Yeah.
Now, all I've been seeing all weekend is, are Democrats anti-Semitic?
Should Democrats push back get into anti-Semitic?
I'm like, what the fuck is, like, what is going on?
All of the things going on in the world, all of the things we could be discussing around
this world, and neither of the questions that people are coming with?
Since when can we not be against war and intervention?
This is a very popular sentiment in the United States of America.
It doesn't start now.
I mean, think about what happened during the Vietnam War.
One of the greatest ever in history,
Muhammad Ali got locked up for his views on this, right?
So this is like a longstanding feeling, right?
So the idea that like all the sudden now that we have to unanimously support it,
if anything, I think what it exposes is like how much, how much,
and again, I wasn't alive at this time, but I would imagine that the new,
was far more propagandized at that time.
Like, were there outlets,
popular outlets at the time,
that were not pushing for war?
I'm sure.
Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing with Vietnam
was it was the first war that was televised.
Yeah.
So it was more just by them showing images
from the ground, the battlefield.
Isn't that when the tie changed, though?
That's what swayed public opinion,
especially with the Tet offense.
That's when they started drafting these white kids.
That's when it starts swaying public.
Call it what it is, bro.
Well, I mean, that's on the table now, too.
But I'm saying back then, once they started drafting the white kids,
all the sudden it was like, whoa, what the fuck are we doing over here?
Right.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I've never seen a moment like this.
I can say that much.
Crazy.
Everybody's, I don't even know what the sides are anymore.
Like, there are so many different agendas attacking each other.
It's chaos.
I don't even think people are saying.
I don't know if it's sides.
I don't know if it's sides.
It's like, that's what I'm saying.
It's interests.
Like, the sides are all disconsons.
connected and divided. But certain groups' interests are conflicting each other.
That's what, but like, I think what's happening now politically is interesting,
that you have like Democrats that are supporting it, Democrats, politicians that are
supporting it, and Democrat politicians against it. You have Republican politicians
supporting and Republican politicians against it, right? So it's like, it's not even,
it's not even the both political sides can come to an agreement about what the parties want.
I think Governor Josh Shapiro gave one of the best takes on it when he was on Bill Marr this
weekend. What do you say? He just was simply saying, because, you know, Bill, I don't want
to say Bill is for it, but.
But it feels like Bill feels, and I don't want to put words in his mouth, but it sounds like he understands why we're there.
We should have took the regime out, blah, blah, blah, this and that.
But Governor Shapiro was just simply saying a president who said they were anti-war and weren't going to start any new wars has a duty and an obligation to tell the American people why we're over there.
What is the reason?
Yeah. What I would do and what the president in the United States failed to do was be clear with the American people about what the hell we were doing here.
Was the plan to go after the nuclear weapons? The weapons, by the way, he said were destroyed seven years ago, or seven months ago, pardon me.
Was the plan to go and do regime change, in which case, who the hell is going to take over? I don't think the son's any better than the father. Was the plan to go in there later, but then you got forced because Netanyahu forced your hand? Remember they said that?
It's a matter of clarity.
Talk that back.
I think if you don't have clarity
on why you're going in,
you have no way of knowing
how the hell to get out.
That's so common sense to me.
And I don't think Americans really get it.
And I don't think Americans
support this idea that like,
it's our job to take out
all the bad guys around the world.
No.
Like, I don't think that that's a popular sentiment
for American.
Like, there are plenty of bad guys.
There are plenty of bad people
that are in charge of countries.
There's an unbelievable cost to taking them out.
And that's the cost of American life.
There's a financial.
cost that goes along that. There's a cost of like sentiment at home. You like further fracture
home. Like these are huge costs that we got to consider and you owe us the dignity of an
explanation. And when the explanations keep flip and flopping back and forth, we start to get
very suspicious about why the fuck we're in there in the first place. Simple as that. And it's
really not rocket science in any way shape of form. And I don't know why people are afraid
to have. But then people, then people do this shit. They're like, oh, so you support the regime.
It's like, what do we, what, stop being disingenuous. Nobody supports a horrific. But then you have the
people who support, you know, Iran and, you know, they got family in Iran who do want regime
change. I wouldn't fucking blame them at all for wanting it. Why would, do, there's no way you
could sit here and tell somebody who you know that their family is living through a horrible
regime, oppressive regime. There's no way you can sit there and tell them like, hey,
fuck you for thinking what you feel. But do you want missiles just raining down on your, you know,
country and, you know, innocent people getting killed? I mean, I mean, that is war, sadly.
Yeah, but what if it's more like, wouldn't you rather want an actual cohesive plan for that regime?
Yeah, because it doesn't even feel like they got a plan.
That's the other thing.
Like, there's no plan.
Yeah, put in his son who now wants revenge, put the rest of his life.
You know they don't got a plan when they started calling his son gay.
That's when I knew they had no plan.
They called his son gay?
They were like, oh, we got intelligence reports that the new I had told us gay.
And I was like, oh, you guys got no clue.
You already killed my dad.
How much more madder do you want to make?
Yes, right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, God damn.
I was having a great conversation with a veteran.
I don't know if this is true,
but they were saying some of the troops refused
to go fight
because they don't want to fight for another country.
They feel like they're fighting this war on behalf of Israel.
Oh, and now they're telling troops it's a holy war.
Which is even crazier, which is even crazier.
But I was having a conversation with a veteran,
and he was saying that's so crazy to him
because when you sign up to be,
in the military, just go to war.
Like, you know, that's what you train for.
That's what you do.
You just go to war.
So, you know, it doesn't even really matter what the reason is.
Because you never know, he said, you never know what's going on in those backrooms anyway.
So when they tell you that you got to go carry out a mission, you got to go carry out the mission.
And I was like, damn, that's interesting.
And then we started talking about, like, the draft.
I don't know how we got on the subject of Muhammad Ali.
and he was saying how, you know,
Muhammad Ali didn't, you know, go to fight in Vietnam.
And I said, well, that's a little bit different
than what you're saying.
Because Muhammad Ali also didn't sign up to be in the military.
Muhammad Ali was drafted or anybody that was drafted.
It was like, no, I'm not going to do that.
But if you sign up, and then he was telling me about...
You're basically saying you don't sign up for the wars you agree with.
You sign up for whatever the commander-in-chief asked you to do it.
And he told me, he told me the name of the document.
He's basically like the military has its own constitution.
I don't know.
I can't remember what it's called.
He told me the name of the document.
Look that up.
You're saying you take some sort of oath that the mandate.
It's some sort of oath that's like it's like there, it's like there.
Let me see if I can look it up.
Let me see.
And while everybody's focusing on Iran, China's moving military towards Taiwan.
Like, have you been seeing that, Chris?
Of course.
Yeah.
And Trump also is now trying, he's claiming he's trying to.
to postpone his meeting with China.
I suspect they already pulled the plug on him.
He's just trying to.
Oh, it's the uniform code of military justice.
And it's a legal foundation that governs the U.S. military,
similar to how the Constitution governs the country.
So it governs service members, defines military laws, discipline, and justice,
and it's enforced through military courts and court marshals.
So it covers criminal offenses, military-specific offenses,
and it's enforced by commanding officers, military judges,
and court martial panels.
It's not a replacement for the Constitution.
The Constitution still applies to service members,
but some rights are limited due to military needs,
which is discipline, readiness, and chain of command.
So if the Constitution is the rulebook for the country,
the UCMJ is the rule book for the military.
So, I don't know, guys.
Let's pay some bills, man.
Do some Asking Idiots, man.
Lisan al-Ga-I.
Let's do some, I'm not falling from this news.
No, that's the Dune thing.
Oh.
Let's do some asking idiots, Taylor, Gang.
You don't watch Dune?
You got him.
Why would I watch Dune?
Who's in Dune?
Michael B. Jordan.
Nah.
It's Michael B. Jordan.
No, it's not.
It's Timothy Shalameh and Zendaya.
She's the star of the movie.
You don't support Zendaya.
Dendaya's definitely top villain in Dune.
I ain't even know fucking Timothy Salome was in it.
You just said it.
Yeah, because I've been hearing about it this whole week.
I thought Zendaya was the star Dune, baby.
Didn't know nothing about no, Timothy Shalamey!
Bam bram bram bram bram bram
Bram bram
Byramp he's a
Who?
I never seen him act
No he's good
Like he's Leonardo
He's good
He ain't better than Michael B. Jordan
He's phenomenal
He ain't better than Michael B. Jordan
Well not a lot of people
But I know a lot of people
That don't really
He's a phenomenal actor
Michael B Jordan beat him head up this year
Yeah but he had a two on one
You did have a two on one
He did have a two on one
He did have a two on one
Meir underscore Cobb says
Charlotte can breathe underwater
he almost became wolf and he saw the spaceship.
Is he alien himself?
Yes.
You so are you.
We're all extraterrestrial to somebody.
Okay?
You think that we're just earthlings?
The only thing floating out here on this planet?
No.
You realize there's people on another planet
or some type of beings on another planet
talking about us as being aliens, right?
What?
They probably don't know about us already.
You think we're just...
I absolutely think they know about us.
I think that we are the most primitive
life form in the solar system.
Did you see Neil deGrasi-Tyson
say, if you look at chimpanzees and monkeys,
they're like 2% less smarter than we are.
2%.
So he said, think about how much 2%
is in regards to humans
compared to chimps.
So imagine if something is 2% more intelligent
than us, how advanced they would be.
He's saying they're 2% less intelligent than us?
He said chimps.
Yeah, he said chimps.
I think they just have like 2% different DNA.
I don't know if it's intelligence.
With the DNA?
Look it up.
Yeah, I think there's significantly less intelligent.
Are they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're not the most intelligent.
It takes a lot for a human to actually become intelligent.
Sure, but like we do absolutely amazing things.
Like, we created the internet.
Like, there's no.
But that's the point.
He said...
It's DNA, not it.
Yeah.
It's DNA?
Yeah.
But he said it...
Yeah, it says difference in DNA.
Look up the deal on the graphic type of...
I imagine we're like a million times smarter than them or something crazy.
Nah, bro.
I'm telling you...
At least 100 times.
Oh, let me find this clip.
Now you got me wanting to find this clip because I don't want to be fucking paraphrasing
a nil to gravity types because he literally was saying the difference in intelligence.
What's the next closest animal to humans in intelligence?
Chimpanzees.
Chips.
And what's the DNA difference?
2%?
Topps?
Only a 2%.
difference in DNA and the chimp is stacking boxes but we have poetry and music and the Hubble
telescope now consider some other species two percent beyond us just as we are two percent beyond the
chip what would we look like to them they would roll the smartest human for him Stephen Hawking
rolling forward and say this one is slightly smarter than the rest because he can do astrophysics
calculations in his head like little timmy over here who just came back from preschool
alien timmy oh look you just composed your 12th sonnet that's beautiful
Oh, you just re-derived the fundamental principles of calculus.
They put it on the refrigerator door.
Yes, that's what their toddlers would be doing
because our toddlers do what the smartest chimps do.
If aliens came and they had only that much more intelligence than us,
they could enslave the entire Earth and we wouldn't even know it.
Maybe that has already happened.
They got us.
They got us with the smartphones.
They enslaved us already with the motherfucking smartphones.
We created it, though.
Some guy who was adopted created it.
So we don't even really know who is real parents.
Like, why do we not?
How do you know somebody?
They didn't come give us the technology.
Steve Jobs might be an alien, man.
Like, what are we talking about?
He was adopted.
I got the technology from extraterrestrials.
We don't fucking know, bro.
That's all I'm saying is 2% DNA difference.
Think about the level of intelligence.
So if something has a 2% DNA difference from us,
as Neil Grazzi Tyson said, how intelligent would they be?
Yeah, aliens don't need to be that much different.
No.
But there's a lot of intelligence difference within that 2%.
Clearly.
But it don't seem like much, though.
Yeah.
Mr. Derek Jr. says, are the folks y'all hang with,
are they worried about the economy?
Yeah.
Yes.
Everybody is worried about it.
Everybody's worried about the economy, sir.
AI uncertainty, the cost of goods, the cost of oil,
because of this war.
100%.
It's, yeah, there's an essential crisis
that is brewing.
Zayam brewing, it exists for many people right now.
I mean, the ones I know are trying to get the fuck out of America.
You've heard that, yeah, it's interesting.
It is interesting.
But then where do they go?
I really don't know.
Africa.
You could go to Africa, for sure.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I think the people that we're talking about
who have the type of welfare.
they're going places that we can't even imagine, bro.
You think about all of these billionaires
who over the last decade
have been building all of these bunkers
and these, you know,
underground cities that you hear about.
I know y'all heard that conspiracy theory.
And there's a whole underground city
that they build already, just for the elite.
Well, they were talking about another planet too.
I'm not about the planet.
But look up the underground city
that they built just for the elites.
They spent trillions of dollars.
on this shit over the year.
There is a history of near extinction events.
And one of the things that I've looked at,
because I'm trying to figure out,
you know, between fiscal 1998 and fiscal 2015,
there were 21 trillion of undocumented adjustments
in the U.S. government.
If you go to our website,
missingmoney.cellar.com.
We have years and years of documentation,
including the government financials that show this.
And so the question is,
where is all this money going?
And one of the things I've looked at in the process of looking at where all this money is going is the underground base and city infrastructure and transportation system that's been built.
I'm sorry?
Yes.
I'm trying to tell you all.
Listen, I don't, everything should be on the table, guys.
You're talking about the plot.
Did you see it?
You talk about the plot of paradise, the TV show.
That's what you're asking.
No, I'm not talking about the plot of paradise, man.
I'm talking about this underground city.
is some woman who used to work for something
who said there's a whole underground city
that they built just for the fucking elite.
Fallout.
It's not fallout, bro.
I'm telling you.
All of this shit, you know what, though, man,
the sad part about all,
we're going to find all of this shit out too late.
Yeah.
Everything's going to be crumbling down.
The world's going to be in there.
And then we'd be like, fuck that shit was real.
We didn't even get the pot about it.
Well, we did pod about it.
We did, but not.
They called us crazy.
They called us fucking crazy.
Man, shut up.
Y'all going to be in the city.
I know.
No.
Charlotte May, Mike.
Yeah.
No.
You know, May might.
That's how he knows about it.
You don't think he already got the his butt.
They'll have you do a radio over there too.
I don't know.
Yeah.
We need our breakfast club.
We need our breakfast club in the bunker, Charla.
I'd rather go out.
If you had to choose one of your co-hosts to come to the bunker with you,
to continue the breakfast club.
Who would you choose?
Andy.
Yeah, the one you started with.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm just.
What's the man?
He doesn't get to take his family, though.
Damn.
But Debbie and I don't get to take money.
That's why I'd say I'd rather go out.
If it's just us, no, I'm good.
What if you get to take your family
and you get to take one other host
from the Burfrey's Club?
Invy wouldn't go.
Exactly.
Every wouldn't even go.
You think he'd ask if he could do
like Monday through Thursday?
Envy wouldn't go.
He would go.
He got a little.
You'd get a deal.
You'd like to do Monday through Thursday.
If you would figure a deal.
Yeah.
Envy wouldn't figure a deal out.
NB would figure a deal out.
If you got a family, just got a family.
So it would have to be Lauren.
All right, what else we got?
Ooh, this is a good one.
Echo the narrator says,
how does Will Smith reestablish himself as a true star?
Echo the narrator, do I have news for you?
Will Smith is a fucking superstar.
Nothing has changed about Will Smith being a motherfucking superstar.
Wait, hold on.
This actually goes against.
I think some of his decline was because he started showing too much of who he really-
Will did not have a decline.
Come.
Come.
You made fun of his music.
Y'all-in'all.
I'm in the super.
I'm the store.
That has nothing to do with anything.
Put it like this.
Let's say this.
The slap, none of that happens, right?
Jack Carlo's new album or Will Smith's-in-law-smith.
Listen, the slap none of that happens.
Oh, Will Smith.
The slap none of that happens, right?
You just hate him, bro.
He's just hate him.
None of that happens.
Will wins the Oscar gives a great speech.
It's like, damn, Sue Will.
Like we watched Will all of these years
and he gets crowned the pinnacle.
He puts out that album, nobody gives a fuck.
And we might even say it's whack, but don't care.
It's like, yeah, we're not fucking with that album,
but that's still Will Smith.
Will Smith is still Will Smith.
Yeah.
Bad boy, he's only done one movie since the so-called decline
and that shit made $300 million at the box office.
Yes, but he's taken a head.
hit to his persona.
I don't think he took a hit.
Come on. Just what I think happened. I think that we
finally got to see the real him. But that's
a problem. And everybody's like, Sam, I thought you
was the guy who didn't curse and you're supposed to be so
perfect and the manicured
Hollywood star. He's not
that. He's a guy who got flaws and he
got vulnerability. But that's what you were saying
before. He lost school with the Oscars. The superstars
don't do that. Just be
the character. Nobody needs to know who you are.
Will Smith is a prime example of
why
you probably
He's about to make your point
I am, I am, I am, don't worry about it
but it's still going to look like my point
and nobody's going to go go.
Listen, Will Smith
I love it.
Just measure your cortisol.
Will Smith
Get your cortisol in the prime example
of why
you probably
shouldn't always
be so manicured.
Because you'll never be able
to live up to that expectation.
At all.
And when it's the biggest day of your life,
the biggest day of your life
for whatever,
reason, you snap. That was always the scariest thing about the slap from me. The fact that
somebody like, well, and forget the Hollywood manicure. Will Smith is a person that we know has done
the work on himself. Yeah. We know he's done the therapy. We know he does the plant-based
medicines. We know that, you know, he goes and visits the spiritual leaders. He's done the spiritual
retreats. He's done all of this work on himself. And he's still snapped on the biggest night of
his life. That's why you got to give people like Michael B. George.
Gordon credit.
You gotta give people like Michael B. Jordan credit.
His bucket,
because he could have snapped on the biggest night of his life
the night when he's crowned in.
No.
Everybody.
He didn't snap at the Busters.
He didn't snap at the Bathers.
As a Baptist, he kept his composure and kept his cool.
He could have walked right off stage, beat the shit out of it.
Nobody would even questioned it.
Think about it because we don't know that he got the Tourette's.
But that could have probably ruined everything.
everything because they voted for the Oscars the day after the Baptist.
But the fact that he kept his cool.
And then when he won, he was so graceful when he won.
And you just, you felt yourself rooting for this person.
Yes, man, it's hard, bro.
I want them to speak out.
Ask Timothy how hard it is to keep you cool when it's your season, when it's supposed
to be your season.
Why?
They were making jokes about him all night.
And he was still like that.
This motherfucker did a rap video.
He said he was going to get shot with Kendrick.
Yeah.
And he shitted on ballet and opera singers.
In an interview with Matthew McConaughey on CNN.
He's, what, what?
Rumble.
Brumbo.
It's hard not the frumble.
He brumpled.
It's hard not to fumble, bro.
Will showed you how easy it is the fumble.
You're just connecting a bunch of bullshit together to paint a narrative.
Charles LeMaine.
He'll showed you how easy it is the fumble.
Okay, but I just want you all to know
Will Smith is still a star.
Will Smith walking here right now, Alex,
you're running to take a picture.
I'm not running, but I'm going to add.
Light jog.
Okay.
That's still fucking Will Smith.
He is.
You can't.
No one say he's not Will Smith, though.
Will Smith a star has not declined.
Will Smith is a legend.
He's an icon.
I think, I think, I think that the brand,
the brand is probably taken a hit.
It doesn't mean that he's not an amazing actor,
incredibly accomplished musician,
like just an all-around spectacular human being.
Show me the proof that his brand is taking a hit.
You guys were making fun of his music.
We've always made fun of Wilson.
No, no, y'all's always bad.
The first time Will Smith came on breakfast club,
he quoted me.
For instance, though, Will Smith as a rapper is whack.
The proof is this conversation.
Yeah.
No, it's not.
The legendary meme of him sitting at the table
having to find out that his wife is doing what she's doing.
By the way,
Come on, man.
By the way, by the way,
by the way, if there was one chink in his armor,
is that day.
Everything else was not been that.
That was the one thing.
Why do you think that was the one?
Because that's wild.
Tell me.
This is a human.
That's wild.
It don't matter, though.
I don't want to talk about it.
Oh.
Does it have anything to do with people being on a podcast talking too much?
I'm a Pinkett Smith, no.
There was too much talking.
Yeah.
There was too much talk.
Superstarter.
Don't ever confirm your host.
You still want me
A Pinkett Smith?
I am a full-flesh, Pinkett Smith
Winfrey North Carter.
Don't ever confirm your holes.
Men, women.
I'm going to fuck what they say.
Don't ever confirm your holes.
What?
What's you pointing for?
I don't have any.
I'm just simply saying that if you have,
if you have had,
okay, I'm going to give you a better example.
Yes, please.
Yes, please.
What is doing?
Yes.
People know you, they see you on breakfast club, they see you on bringing you.
Some dude that you used to fuck with-
Don't ever confirm your hopes.
Way, way, way, way back in the day.
Way, way, way back in the day.
Some dude, some dude who might have been your best eater back in the day
trying to jump out the window talking about how he's fucking with you.
Taylor's memories.
Exactly.
Why would you ever claim him?
That's my point.
Don't ever confirm your hold.
Shout out Trump.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, Trump lives by that rule, Charlotte.
That's all I'm saying.
Fuck you.
I don't know you.
Who are you?
So that's what Clarissa's doing right now.
What Clarissa do?
Clorcia Shields.
She's acting like she never mess with that guy.
I don't know.
She's going hard too.
I don't know if...
I don't know anything about that.
But if that is the case, yeah.
I'd be so mad at y'all and y'all be fucking with Clarissa.
Larissa Shields don't bother.
No fucking.
Leave her alone, man.
Clarissa Shield is a good, motherfucking person.
I was telling him.
No, no, no, no.
Anything.
Oh, I'm not talking about everybody that'd be fucking with her.
Like, you wake up every day wanting to fuck with Clarissa Shield.
Why?
Do you think maybe it's because she engages, so, like, people get the reaction they want?
No, you're right.
That's true.
That's true.
I think that's kind of like.
That's true.
And, again, I understand the, the knee-jerk reaction to, like, kind of, like, set straight a rumor that's not true and, like, what that feels like.
That's true.
But you are kind of giving the people what they want.
Yeah, that's true.
I wasn't even talking about, like, the celebrity back and forth CBI.
And I literally was talking about, like, regular people.
Like, like, people would just be wanting to fuck with Clarissa Shields.
Why?
Y'all should be rooting for somebody like, Richard Shields.
She came from the bottom.
Watch her documentary on Netflix, yo.
Watch her movie that the biopic that they made about her life.
That's also on Netflix.
Like, when I say she came from the bottom, she came from the bottom, the trenches for real,
and made something out of nothing as a woman, a black woman coming from,
Flint fucking Michigan to be where she is.
She's a walking miracle if you ask me.
So I don't do nothing but roots for people like
Clarissa Shield. I celebrate people like Larissa Shield.
I salute to Clarissa Shields.
I don't see why anybody would have
any issue with Clarissa Shields.
If she wants to get online and be
my man, my man, my man, let her.
She's happy. You know why she's happy?
She's experienced sadness.
Charlotte, man, there's a lot of people who are not happy out there.
Not happy.
And simply looking at happiness is
enraging.
Yes, I agree.
Want to do one more?
Yeah, fuck yeah.
Why is that, though?
Thank you.
Why is seeing other people happy
enrage people?
Because it reminds you if you're unhappy.
Yeah, they're unhappy.
But do you realize if you can't celebrate somebody else's success,
you'll never have any of your own?
No, they don't realize that.
They think that, I think a lot of times people think that
these people are successful,
and they can't be because of that.
Wait, hold on.
Hold on.
So what about Timothy Shalmay?
You shouldn't, or isn't?
He didn't win.
No.
But you're happy that he didn't it though.
He didn't win.
He didn't win.
Fuck your shit, girl.
Suck your shit, teller.
He didn't win.
But you're happy he didn't.
It's like sports.
Michael B. Jordan is who I'm rooting for.
That's the team I was rooting for.
It was sports.
Let's not act like the awesome.
The Oscars isn't a versus.
That's the other problem.
This shit ain't no motherfucking...
We got a picture honoring Michael B.
Right here.
Michael B. Jordan and John of the Majors, that's them right there.
Honoring them.
By the way, hold, before I say this,
the Oscars is all about versus.
It's all about this person versus that person.
So you are rooting for someone.
This shit, you was...
Motherfucker, I saw you in your story.
What I do?
Whatever is fucking...
What's that website you'd be promoted?
It's cortisol's up.
What the gambling?
Calci, couch.
Calci.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You bet it on Michael B. George.
Because I knew what you did.
No, no.
You know what he was going on.
I'm just saying, I knew what you did.
This is how I know you're not a die-hard Timothy guy.
I'm a Dallas cowboy fan.
Yeah, yeah.
Through and through.
Yeah.
I'm betting on Dallas every motherfucker.
No, you wouldn't.
I'm betting on Dallas every time.
Put your money up this year.
I'm betting on.
Put you put your on last hundred times.
I'm betting on Dallas every single time.
You're not betting on Dallas.
Every time.
I saw what you did to Timothy.
I saw you sabotaged him.
The second I saw it, I was like, now Michael B is taking it.
Timothy sabotaged him.
There is no power greater than Charlamagne to God.
That's not true.
Whenever Charlemagne got wills into existence,
what happened?
When will people start to realize this?
I want you to know Timothy, you sabotage yourself.
But it's not over for you.
You'll be fine.
What does he got to do?
He got to play Caitlin Jenna in a biopic.
You play Caitlin in a biopic.
You play Caitlin in a biopic.
Even if he didn't,
even if he didn't, whoa, wait, wait, whoa.
You play Caitlin.
Not Bruce.
Roos is flashbacks.
You play Caitlin.
Oh, my God.
Hey.
Who is he dating?
Kylie.
Kylie.
Get the life rights of your, um...
Of your parent.
Just say your parent.
Get the life rights of your parent.
Your grandma, pa.
Your grandma, pa.
Get your life rights of that.
Let Timothy Star in it.
Boom.
Both of y'all at the Oscars in two years.
And you think he wins it?
Hands down.
Hands down.
Because now you're playing...
Oh, you're doing the double.
You're doing the double.
You gotta learn from Michael.
You can't do an Oscar.
You can't do the Twin Thing.
That's done.
You can't win an Oscar by playing one character.
Doubled up now.
Now you doubled up.
Now you play Caitlin and Bruce in a movie.
Wow.
Double T-Doo.
Wow. Wow. How do you know?
How do you know he's not dating Kylie so he could study for the role of his legend?
Now Timothy? Now you want to be a legend.
Hold on.
Did Timothy want to be a legend?
We've got Solomon back, Timmy. Hold on. We got Solomon back.
Timothy, do you want to be a legend or do you want to be a legend?
That's how you become a legend.
Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Turner.
God, damn.
Timmy back.
That's how he's
Re-establish Timmy is a star.
Would he be a superstar?
If he plays Kaelin
would he be the superstar?
Yes. Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Why can't we tell trans stories?
Why is that wrong to tell trans stories?
I don't know why y'all are against this.
That's great.
It's big of it.
It's big of it.
It's big of it.
We're trying to celebrate trans life.
Kat Williams is right.
You got to put on a dress to make it in Hollywood.
Son, I never seen Bruce in a dress.
He'd be popping that thing and some yogas.
Timmy.
This is the plan, bro.
Talk to me.
What you just said?
This is the plan.
Don't put it on me.
Because you've been saying it from the beginning,
don't you put it on me now.
Don't you dare put it on me.
Salomey, Caitlin Jenner Biopic,
executive produced by Kindle.
What's the name of the movie?
What's the name of the movie?
You said it.
Grandma, bah?
Nah, come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
As always.
It should be called back in the 90s or something like that.
Oh, Taylor, God damn it.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're right there.
Taylor, we're right there.
We had the perfect end to the pond.
Conversation came about.
You're talking about back in the 90s
and we're saying that Kaylee can never do it.
That's what I was saying that.
I think Taylor missed the whole lot of jokes.
Yeah.
Like, she just missed it all.
She had her one that she wanted to.
Should we explain to her?
Don't even do it.
This is for the brilliant, idiot, massive who understand.
They understand our hearts, too.
You know our hearts.
You know what we're out here for.
Y'all think I'm joking, though.
This is one time, this ain't sarcasmuch.
Timothy Shalamey as Caitlin Jenner in the Caitlin Bible pick.
Probably got to wait a few.
But now they got the fucking makeup and shit that can make them look older.
that's the move
and then
he can be himself
you can be young
yeah yeah
and then when it's time
to be Caitlin
be older
he got to be taller
too there
I don't even think
it matters
I think this is genius
he need to be talking
to what's what was he dating
Kylie Jenner
Kylie
and Kylie got
already got a massive
