The podcast explores the cultural and emotional shifts in modern entertainment, focusing on the rise of blockbuster films and their massive promotional scale. A major film release is celebrated for its emotional depth and impact, with a young viewer reporting tears during viewing, underscoring its cultural resonance. The discussion highlights how cinema has evolved from a rare, immersive event into a highly commercialized, globally marketed industry, where ticket pricing now reflects value over volume. This shift is contrasted with the nostalgic experience of past films like *Jaws 3D*, which were once seen as genuine, memorable events. The hosts reflect on how social media and digital surveillance have made people overly cautious, suppressing authenticity and spontaneity in daily life. They advocate for reconnecting with real-world experiences—like spending time with loved ones, attending live events, or engaging in unscripted moments—as essential for emotional well-being. The conversation also delves into sports, particularly the debate over individual talent versus team success in women’s basketball, noting that college championships still hold greater significance than WNBA titles due to higher talent concentration. Ultimately, the podcast champions real-life authenticity, encouraging listeners to embrace imperfection, live freely, and find joy in simple, human connections.
- Yup, Charlemagne, the guy. - Andrew Schoen. - We y'all debris into his podcast, back for another week of brilliant idiot Ness. - How the hell I walked out? - I don't know, sir, how are you? - How you been, man? - I'm good. - You ready? - You ready? - October 16th. - Next week, man. - Bye, I'm up, bye. - The next week, next week, next week.

Let's put some money behind it. - Let's go. - We can make some fucking money. - Let's go. - Yeah, everybody's talking about like obsession and back room and of course the Spider-Man shit. - You forget about like Akmi versus Coyote. - That one, people did not see comments. - You know what I'm saying? - And it crushed. - It was shelved. Before they they shelved it. It wasn't even supposed to come out. - And apparently it's fantastic, like you cry in it. - I haven't seen it. - My boy Shifty, you know, Shifty saw it. He was like, and remember Shifty's young, he didn't grow up with them. - And he was like, I actually cried. - I might go this weekend. - Yep. - I don't know what this weekend is. - You think they photoshopped me, bro? - They photoshopped my nose. - I don't look at that nose, dude. - Oh, no, no, that's, that's, that's, that's regular. That's not, they didn't do nothing. - You think that. - I thought you thought about everything else. - You think that, go to the next slide. But you, no, bro, I thought they, I thought you thought about everything else. - You think that's my nose. - Why do they do that to you, yo? - So they did go next to the next slide. - No, no, no. You think they photoshopped you, no, no. Go to the next slide, meat fighter. - Keep, other next slide, thank you. - Great. - Do you think that they photoshopped me or not? - You know what's great? - That monkey's known as smaller than, like the last three pictures. - What the fuck are you talking about? - That monkey is smaller than at least the last three pictures, yo. - Come on, look at that. Look at my very regular nose versus my Photoshop nose. Clearly, what is they like? Big breathers, man, big, big breathers, pick block off the spot. - What are you, what do you, they do? - You're not really one of us, man. - Say what? - You're really one of us. - Yo, now I can't even be part of it. I just gotta have the biggest regular nose. - I would rather have, I would have the smallest big nose in the biggest regular nose. - No, one of us. - No, I don't do that. - Now the last one was crazy. You were full of Macklemore on that last one. You can't do that. You can't do that, bro. You can't go full of Macklemore on the last one. - Never go full of Macklemore on the last one. That was crazy. - We're talking about a nose appendage. That's what we're talking about with full of Macklemore. - Just understand. - Yes, when Macklemore did, what do you call it? Jewish face, what do they call it? - Yeah. - Ringo. - Yeah, Ringo, Ringo star. - Ringo star of David, Ringo star of David. - What do you want to have with me? - What do you mean? - What do you want to have with the movie? - You gotta speak with me. - I want to go, I want to go absolutely crazy. I want to go absolutely crazy. I want to be biggest action movie of the year. - What do they need to make? - Oh shit, Spider-Man's biggest action movie of the year. - I mean, Spider-Man's one of the biggest movies of all time. - That's a thing. - 100% gay. - 100% gay. - But I was reading something about that. It was interesting. They said movies like Spider-Man now are breaking those records because tickets cost more, not because it necessarily sold more tickets. So like if you go look at like the movies that are, I guess considered-- - I saw that. - That would have like the biggest of all time. It's all more tickets. - Yeah, but I would also say that there was much less to do. Like back in the day a movie came out and it was like, you either stared at a fucking wall or you watched the movie. - That's it? - Yeah, that's it. You had TV and the fucking movies. Movies, movies used to be an event. I remember going to see Jaws 3D when I was a kid. My dad took me-- - 3D? - Yeah, remember when you see Jaws 3D with the laughter. - Remember when you were giving us those little fucking shitty glasses at the end? - That was an event. Jaws 3D was an event and that shit mattered back then. - Yeah. - Now I wanted to go absolutely crazy. Number one movie in the world and I just wanted to go fucking nuts so we can make a bunch of these, man. It was the most fun I've ever had making a movie. - Really? - Yeah, it was unbelievably fun. - It's next week, right? - October 16th. - Yeah. - It's gonna go number one. - Let's go about that week. Let's look it up. - Let's go. - Look it up. - It's going number one regardless of the list. Let's look and see what else comes out on October 16th. - This shit on the movie industry. - Like what? Just create fighter, revenge in the nose. That could be an ill school, yo. She don't say-- - God, I can't look at this anymore, man. - I can't look at this. - That shit looks crazy. - Now that looks absolutely insane. - Sensing sensibility, which is a different audience. - Oh, what? Sensing sensibility. - Never heard of this. - I don't know who it is. - Who started in it? Daisy Edgar Jones. - Not fucking with Street Fighter cast. All right, who else? Not fucking with Street Fighter cast at all. - Not a fucking whale fall? - A high concept aquatic survivor thriller directed by Brian Dunford. - Nah, I'm body fucking white. - That shit looks fire. Not gonna lie, let's fire. - I'm not going to see these no whales, y'all. The whales, like, you want to see Chun Lee. - You see what I'm saying? - Other mommy. - Who? - Other mommy. - Other mommy. - That looks good. - Who is that? - That's it. - With Jessica Chastain. - It's like a Harley. - He's a number one, baby. Street Fighter number one. Not even close. - Ah, I don't know. - Or hello. - Hello. - Wish me a Harley. - Your mother and mother? - Yes. - That's a good-- - Well, you know what it does go nastier than that. There's a different type of movie, though. - That's a good movie. - My heart's so big. - My heart's so big. - Fuck with him. - No, this movie is dope. - Yeah. - It's dope, it's dope. It's like a, it's like if John Q really said fuck it. - Oh. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's actually ill-concept. I've never seen a concept like that. His wife dies. - It will talk about it after, man. - Talk about it. - Talk about it. - Talk about it. - It's already out. It came out of town. - It just, it just goes wild. - It just goes wild. - It just goes wild. - It just goes wild. - It just goes wild. It's over 50. It's been out from 10 to 25. - How does he look? - The best of luck, though. That's a luck. - Trust me, I'm a doctor. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's that about? - This is the most. - This is the most-- - The Street Fighter. - The Street Fighter got the best IP, the best name, brand recognition. - Mm-hmm, you got it. People grew up off the video game. - Sex. - Let's go. - So when it, if it goes number one, you get like a bonus from it. - A bonus? - Not even, I don't even think so. I really just wanted to be a success because I thought it was fucking awesome and I want people to embrace the franchise so we keep on exploring this world. - Word. - What the fuck? - The titties on Alex Baldwin. Nah, huh? Right now, that trust me, I'm a doctor. The titties on Alex Baldwin? - The trial of-- - The trial of Alex Baldwin. - I gotta get going. - What the hell? - I wish I had that type of bonus. - I wouldn't have won it. - You only saw titties. What a beautiful type of blindness. - What they're on a maze. - The titties is tittied, bro. - You know, I have that type of blindness. Chris has had it for the last 15 years. - Whatever he goes to Taiwan has a type of blindness. (laughing) Oh man, have you seen it, baby. - How was your week? - Yo, what about you, man? How was your week? - Week was good, you know? Getting ready for the mental welfare expo at this Saturday in New York, New Jersey, Joelle and Diane Brune-Wolves and the Vince Center. - From Curry event. - You know, I had an interactive conversation the day I was at a variety had a, variety had an event without front called IRL. - In real life? - In real life. And it was interesting because all of the panels were literally about how IRL is back, which I found so strange. Because I'm like, we live in real life every day, but the virtual world has become so big. - The rebellious thing to do is just be out there. - I'm just like, all you gotta do is just remember, this is what matters at this. We log on to this, but live this. - I don't know if we spoke about this last week, but like, I think one of the beautiful things, I think we did, but one of the beautiful things about the 90s aren't era when we grew up is there was nothing recorded. - So you got to make a fool of yourself. You got to act crazy. Maybe you did some stuff that were fucked up or whatever it be as no one was watching, but there was a beautiful authenticity the way that we got to grow up. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I imagine these kids now are growing up thinking every time I stumble, somebody has a phone out. Every time I fail, somebody's recording. It's like, how are you supposed to create anything if you're worried about what the world is gonna think? - We're not even kids. Don't think about all of these adults who feel like they got to portray these perfect lives. Never want to make any missteps. Never want to say the wrong thing. That shit has to suck to live like that. - You know how amazing it was when you were miserable, but everyone around you was miserable. - It was beautiful. - I mean, there was no Instagram to see somebody on a fucking yacht living their life. It was just, you go to a shitty job. Everyone else got a shitty job. - That's an imagination matter. - Fuck you. You could imagine all of this shit. Now you really think somebody else out there is living like that, which they are. What you see it all the time, so it makes you feel like you're constantly behind. - Nah, bro. Nah, nah. Go run around, go outside, take a deep breath. That takes, it takes, it smells, it smells like, what the fuck is this? - What the fuck, man? - What the fuck, just that? - I haven't strove, I haven't strove right now. (laughing) - Hey, I need you to make it out over 16. - I'm tired, man. - I'm gonna make it to stream. - I'ma be here, I'ma live 'til 101. - That's what you wanna do? - I might get a little raggedy along the way, but I'ma be here, I'ma be there. - If you thought Charlotte didn't give a fuck now.
- Oh my God. - Wait until he hits a century. I know the shit that's gonna come out of this man's mouth. - Man. (laughs) - I don't want you to hear this at all. - But that is the best. Like if you ever get a chance to sit around a L, the man like Clarence Avault, those four hours at the Polo Lounge, I spent with him in Beverly Hills back in the day, Clarence just didn't give a fuck. - What are you gonna do? - I don't think he ever, he never gave a fuck, but at that time he was what? - He died and died he's something. - God bless. - So how old was he in 20, 20, 24? I don't remember. - I think you should be able to go go, sorry. - But he just, that's what you want to do. You wanna get to that point where you just don't give a fuck. But I'll tell you one thing though, I think you realize this now too. You do get to a certain age where you realize like it's just not for everybody. I don't need the world to hit his shit. The group chat is fine. - The group chat is fine. - Just do it. I mean you kind of just do it for attention. - You know what I mean? - Without realizing when you're younger. And then when you're older, you really just need two other people to validate your horrible feeling or thought. - When these mics go off and these cameras cut off, we say some shit, go home, you know what I mean? Straight up. I like being in the house. Having to aid my daughter's home for a fall break. Having a 18 year old. - Oh yeah, she's talking. - She's holding home saying. - Oh my, no, no, no, no. I'm still saying shit. It made her uncomfortable on purpose. - But now she's old enough that you stay wild. - You did it. Oh my God. - What, what do you do? - Oh man, now I don't even want to say it. (laughing) (laughing) - You don't know how beautiful the feeling it is when your wife just says your name angry. - Exactly. - Oh. - Like you know what I'm saying? I feel like your mom. - Oh. - Is that what we're searching for? - Yeah. - I need to be, I need to be punished a little bit. You know what I mean? I just need to know I'm annoying somebody. - I have somebody really on it. - Oh. - No. - I'll just look it for her. - Wait a minute. - Wait a minute. - Andrew. - That's it. That's it. - That's it. - You still got it a little bit. - Look at her, look at her. - That's it. You're gonna be saying it, don't worry. - You don't think I do? - You do? - What? - No. I see it's like actual name. - Patrick. - Patrick. (laughing) - Patrick. (laughing) Yo, E.J. Jackson, baby. E.J. and Rihanna are beefing. Why? - Not stop it. - Not on E.J. E.J. not E.J. I love you, but you gotta know your limitations, don't they? - Why can't we got all of you to this queen shit? - All right. - There's levels to this queen shit. - All of you. - There's certain thrones you can't throw rocks at E.J. - No, no, no. - And Rihanna's one of them, okay? Now what happened was E.J. Johnson was temporarily blocked from entering his hotel in Paris. And for whatever reason, he blamed Rihanna. E.J. Johnson gets blocked. - God damn it. - So I'm trying to find the other thing. - And E.J. Johnson scrolled out, let me see it. E.J. Johnson gets blocked from entering his hotel after what? - Closing for-- - Closing for paparazzi. - Closing for paparazzi.
He didn't even need to do that though. - I'm saying, it's not New York, there are nice restaurants and filets now. - That's not saying, like, he don't need to do that. - Great culinary. - Yeah. It wasn't there 20 years ago, it's really cool. - No, no, no, no. - He's the understanding of the brand that we wanted to be in, Phil. - Understand. - It was his second option. He wanted to go to New York. He wanted to bring a ring to the mecca. - And then retire. - And then retire. And that would have been like the Krim Delacrim. So he looked around, we had this conversation on the spot. Before he went to Philly, we said, what would be the next best city that would win a ring to have that maybe type with New York energy? We know nobody's gonna match New York energy. - Yeah. - But we all agreed, Philly probably would be the second best place. - Philly got outstanding sports fans. - Yeah. - Like, they love, love, love the sports and Philly. So if they're winning, that city's gonna be on fire. - And the sixth is having one since what? - 1983. - Damn, you see what I'm saying? Wait, how'd they won? - 1983. They went to the finals in 2001 with Overson. - I remember. - That was it, they didn't win. - Have they win with the '83? - With Moses, Doc, Tony, Mark Iveroni, Moses. - Was that before the merger? - Well, that was today's NBA. They took out the Lakers Ford, nothing foe, foe, foe, as Moses Malone predicted. - Wow. - But it's been a little lean since then. - Yeah, we know what it's like. - Yeah. - And already our former Nick Backup Center is out for the season, which is very unfortunate. - What was it, what was it, Achilles? - Achilles, five minutes into the game. - Damn. - Yeah, I don't know if Philly wins it, but if he does win and ring and Philly, it'll be a fantastic story. - Not winner. - I don't, I don't know. I mean, I don't think he is. - Listen, I don't know. - The Nicks are running it back, and people are doubting us once again, and we like that position. We like to be doubted. Please bring it on. I mean. Like James Dolan fucking up again, man. - What'd you think? - I mean, does he like fucking up again? He hasn't given World Wild West an extension yet? - World Wild West. - He hasn't given Leon Rolls an extension yet? - Is it great that people have been West. - Kat trying to get his money? You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know. You still got to pay jailing an OG in a few, a couple of years, like. - Yeah. - Did you guys see Kat's father's comments about Jimmy Butler? - No. - Because of it. - Well, if you recall, Jimmy basically called Katta loser in Minnesota and said that he and Wiggins were soft and they weren't winners. And now Kat's father is saying, hey, we just got the last laugh. My son has a championship. Jimmy Butler doesn't. That makes him a greater pro, and it's had a greater career than Jimmy Butler. - Yeah. - Mm. - Has Kat had a greater career than Jimmy Butler? - I would say no. I think that we have to-- - Oh, no. With this, with all due respect to Jimmy, I fucking love Jimmy. Jimmy's an app. - Jimmy's drag two teams to the finals. - So he's an absolute-- - Right. - He's the type of guy who literally will win you games by himself in the playoffs. That's the hardest thing to do in basketball that when every guy is playing at their highest level, he can put the team on his back and he can win you games. There's no question, heart, desire, no question. But at the end of the day, we're gonna remember rings. And it's not like Kat, also when I keep bringing this up, Kat is the greatest shooting big man in history. So you have a ring and you will retire as the greatest shooting big man better than Dirk. - And you still fall. - No, no, no, no, no. - Look at the numbers. - I don't care what the numbers say. - I know you don't care at the number. - He takes-- - He took-- - Yeah, not Germans though. He took-- (laughing) - It's different though, 'cause Dirk-- - He took tougher shots than Kat's. - Yeah, but in Kat takes a lot of good threes. Dirk was doing off one leg. - He's slower. - Dirk's not a big man. He's just tall. - Yo, this is a fantastic-- - He's not a big man. - He is a big, he is a big. - Yeah, really? - No, he is a big. - He had a closer to a wing man. - But I understand what he was saying, 'cause he would operate on the wing. - Kevin Durant's not a big man. - He is, but I get your point. I get your point. - Kat was a actual big man. Kat can go down there and bang, down low. And go out there on the perimeter and shoot. Dirk couldn't do that. Dirk didn't go down low and bang. - He did, he did, but he would pivot off. And he would-- - No, Dirk was incredible. - I love Dirk. - Dirk also got the ring and he put the team on his back. - Dirk, and that's gotta ring. - Dirk got a ring. - Ring. - Dirk, Dirk, Dirk, Dirk, Dirk, Dirk, Dirk, Dirk got a ring. - Butler, it doesn't have a ring, but he dragged two teams. The person, as a non-nix fan, that I give all the credit to their championship for predominantly is Brunson. Brunson dragged the team. - Okay, first of all, home four. - With OG. - With OG. - With L from OG. - N-O-G, but-- - And then-- - Kat. - And then Kat. - And then Kat credit for what he did in the playoffs. He had an unbelievable playoffs. Look at his numbers in the playoffs. - Yo, I think in the Kat slander. - I can argue that Kat hit arguably the second biggest shot in that-- - That three? - That's the fact that in the game, that they came back from like 30 points down in the playoffs. - Look at Kat. Look at Kat's playoff shooting statistics. - It's unreal. - 13 points in the finals. - Look how fast you made that shot. - What? - That's step back three, because it was fun. - I can see it in my head. That in OG shot, I see those in my head. - That's that's the tall. He's doing a step back three off the dribble. 20 years from now, you'll be saying that Kat step back three in game four of the NBA finals. You're gonna be when they came back from 29 points. - You see what I was saying? - It was unbelievable. Stop. I'll fuck with you. But you have to get this a good conversation, because I think that we don't understand how somebody can have individual accolades, but you still have to win in order to be considered elite. - You know who I've been having that conversation about? That about Katelyn Clark. Katelyn Clark has never won a championship at any level. - No, high school, she won. - No, she did not. He's never even won a state championship in high school. Went to the finals in college twice, never won. Haven't gotten out of the first round of the playoffs in the WWE, yeah. - Really? - These are facts. And if she does it in her career, that'll be a massive knock. - But what's interesting is the second you do, like if Charles Barkley had a ring, we would probably look at Charles Barkley as one of the five best players. Maybe one of the 10 best players. - Well, let me say, and I wrong like. - He was dominant except for the ring. - He was so dominant. - And he dragged the team to the final. - He dragged it and undersized. Do you guys remember how, I mean, he was like six, four, how are four? - No, I was, we put him in the top five. - Tell me. - He wanted the Jordan there. He'd have been the only, he'd been like one of the, the only person to win in the Jordan there. - Fantastic point. - Nobody wanted the Jordan. - Nobody. - Anybody that would have won in that era and beat Michael, you gotta be up there. - That's why like some people do treat those Houston championships with an asterisk. - 'Cause Jordan wasn't around. - Some people, I don't think that's fair, but some people might say you won when he wasn't playing. - Well, hold on. Didn't he lose in the playoffs one of the years? - Came back. - Okay, but. - Came back in the end of the season. - Right. - Come on. - 45, I went back to 23. - That's one thing. - Lost to the magic. - I know, yeah. - Yeah, but they came back swept the magic the next year. Like, yeah. All I'm simply saying is, somebody like Caitlin Clark has never won a championship at any level. - She's got to do it for real. - But she's box office, but it's different in women's basketball though. - Why is that? - Because the WNBA Championship is greater than accomplishment it is, I don't put that above a women's college championship. - Oh, help me understand that. - I just don't. I think a women's college championship still matters more at least right now. - Why do you think that is? - It's the best of the best. - Yeah. - I don't know if that is. - You think the talent level goes down after college? - I don't know if it changes much. - Well, yeah. Why wouldn't it change? - Because I think these women play all four years. So most of the time, when these women come into the WNBA, they're WNBA ready by their junior year. - Yeah, but they reach their prime, I think, when they're probably 27, 28. And in college, she got to the finals twice. - I think college-- - In WNBA, she hasn't even got passed out the first round. - That's a good point. - I don't know. I don't know, it still feels like women's college championship means more than the WNBA finals championship. - Yo, is it possible that female basketball is more fundamental dependent? Therefore, you need a better team or a candidate talent that is like Asia, Asia Wilson. Can she just be so talented, she could bring drag or a rag tag group of women to the finals? - Asia's an anomaly. - Okay, so let's take Asia out of it 'cause she's obviously-- - She's the big fundamental and she's the most dominant. Like it's not even fair. - All right, all right, it's not fair. - But outside of her, is there a talent that is a very intelligent talent in the league? - How that rookie on Minnesota, I thought-- - No, I'm beating the first round. Live your miles, I'm beating the first round. And they had the best record in the league, number one C. And she, and I fuck her to live you, but she shouldn't have been in playoffs. Like she didn't even, like didn't even show. You can pull up her stash, she didn't even show up in two games. They got swept. - I didn't know that. - No, I think they might have won one. I think they ended it. No, I think they got swept, actually. I don't fuck her remember. I don't know, that's a good question. And see, and women's college basketball-- - Maybe that's how great Asia is, little key. - Probably, but in women's college basketball, the teams are also structured different. - Why is that? - 'Cause remember they're recruiting. So you're going out there and literally recruiting the best players you possibly can. And the WNBA, you might have one or two of them. And college, you might have five or six of those all won. - It's interesting. - This is interesting. So you're saying that there is a higher concentration of talent on certain collegiate programs. - Absolutely. - Absolutely. - To the NBA where that talent is dispersed. - All across the league. So is there then a bigger.
drop off with college teams. Like for example, the number one seed college team and like the number 12 is a massive difference opposed to the one in 12 of the WMBA. It's a little bit closer. - I think it could be, bro. - I think so, yeah. - I think it really could be. - You know, how far has women's basketball come that we have dedicated a segment of brilliantly, it's to, I love it. - Honestly discussing it, not even making fun of it. Like genuinely discussing the greatness. - It's a great sport. - I was looking forward to the playoff games the night and landed Dream versus New York Liberty, Aces versus Valkyrie. I'm looking forward to the games tonight. - I watched a little bit of the last game. I gotta be honest, it was a rough, it was a rough one. - Which one'd you watch? - I guess the last game they played. - Valkyrie and Aces? - No, Liberty. - Liberty and Dream? - Yeah. - Why was it, what? - I talked that shit for the rough. - Duck that shit for the fucker. - Duck that shit. - Maybe it was the defense, but I just watched one stretch where there are like six turnovers in a row. - No, no, no. - And Dream's best defense player in the league. - Oh, fuck up, he's like, yeah, he's like, why are we acting like turnovers not a part of the game, Chris? Like come on, yeah. - Hey, I went to the Liberty's final round the other year as tremendous. You wanna talk about in real life. That was one of the best events I've ever been doing my life. - Real life, baby. - So. - We live in a world right now where people are excited about folks being back in real life. - Yes. - They're excited for live events again. - Yes. - Did we forget that we log on to social media but actually live in the real world? I think people had it backwards. I think people were living in social media but lounging on the real life. - Let me ask you this question. You're somebody that was battered with social anxiety at times. Being in big groups, et cetera. Is your version of in real life being with close friends or being with the family? Like is that still in real life for you? Are you talking about going to events and connecting with people is life? - Well, I'm still doing that with close friends. So if you have a group of people that you feel comfortable around, right? And they ease your anxiety and you feel safe around these people. These are the people you wanna share your moments with. You wanna go share your IRL moments with them. So, you know, like I said, this summer, I was outside with the people that I loved the most.

That's your wife. - The person that you enjoy. - Because you can annoy somebody for the rest of your life. - And it's the dude that you enjoy annoying.

I feel like it skews very heavily, where I'm always the one. - Yeah, we don't reprimand our wife. - What do you mean, reprimand, Chris? What the fuck? - That sounds old fashioned, but I'm just saying. - That's why I said. - Maggie, getting on you, correcting. Hey, why did you put that away? - We're even, we're even nine. - Also, 99. - You know what I'm talking about, but we do it zero percent. - That's used to be the percentage in my house. - It's truly you, this is the thing that's interesting.

I cleaned my closet last week and he's so happy. - Whoa. - Tell me. - Man. - Your wife was happy. - Man, listen, 'cause I was living crazy. Like, it didn't make any sense, the way that that closet looked. It looked so crazy that I was telling the clean people don't even go in there. - Why? - You're embarrassed. - Don't even go in. Don't even worry about it. Gotta figure this out. Don't even go in there. It was crazy. - Like a catastrophe. - You know I know those, because you know all those. - Also, you gotta have like a walking closet that's the size of my bedroom. - Exactly. - Right. - But this is the crazy one. - Exactly. - It's crazy. - Exactly, yes. - Oh, I showed up to you. Listen, for my wife has these two amazing organizers. - Man. - That's more organized, right? - Yo. - And she just knew. - Maria Condo. - He's gonna get tired of that shit. - She knew. Eventually, he's gonna get tired of that shit. And all I said was, yo, can I have the two ladies. You like done. And these two women came over, bro. And when I tell you they got, I should have took a before now. - That's what I was gonna ask for. - I didn't take the before. I should have took the before now. - Man, I thought you, you say you cleaned it. I really thought you literally cleaned it. - I did. That was your fault. - Mm-hmm. - Look at that shit, yo. It's not clean. That shit look, yo. - Bro, look how clean that shit look. - Okay. - Casting. - Look how clean. 'Cause you gotta think I'm a hoarder. So I got years and years and years of shit. And so the thing that I love about the organizers, they come in, they just start grabbing shit. And they're like, donate, keep. Donate, keep, donate, keep. - But you're giving it away, right? - Donate. - Yeah, I gave it a lot today, in fact, with church. - How many bags? - Just one today, but I gave it about eight the other week. - I had 23 garbage, big black garbage bags of clothes. - 23, straight up. 23. - That closet had to look. - It looked, and you have no idea what I'm talking about, it looked, but I skipped and said, like I used to walk in it like this. (laughing) - Stepping old shit. - Stepping old clothes. - That doesn't mean she's very well dressed, people getting arrested by ice. - No, no, no, I get why it's hard for you to give away shit. - You get the fuck you say. - Yeah, but think about it. - That's so crazy. - It said it's very well dressed, dude, get arrested by ice. - And you don't think it's gonna be where it's all made shit, 'cause it will be like a black fist on the next day. - Yeah, I got it. (laughing) - A lot of paper playing shit. - Paper playing shit, black power shit. - But like, black faculty, black power and hoodies. - Yeah, what sort of church you're giving them to? - Give away that, I had a FDT shirt, 'cause remember when Nipsey had the song with YG FDT, F Donnelly. - Perfect, yeah. - So I definitely gave away like two and a half. - Yeah, yeah. - This gonna be a Mexican walkin' round with an FDT shirt. - Woohoo! - Hey man. - Yeah. - Hey, hey, hey. 23 bags of clothes. - My sweatshirt should have been in there. - No, not yours, definitely not. - You're telemated? - Yes. - No shoes. - I'm beyond what y'all need to know. - I'm not seeing you with it. - I'm not a man to know. - I wore it though. - I didn't wear it. - I did wear that shirt I wanted to have worn. - You was out on prom. - I'm proud of you. - You guys must've been gifted a lot of time. - You wear it. - I wore it, I wore it. - You guys shoes on maternity leave. - Yeah, you are proud of you. - I promise you I wore it. - I promise you if you look at one of the little berms coming videos, I had that telemated shirt on. - Oh, look at it. - I don't know if it made the cut though. I don't know, I really don't. I don't remember y'all. It was Donate Keep, Donate Keep, Donate Keep. - Get out of here. - Donate Keep. - See ya. - I'm in your knee too white.
Women work like Mexicans like it's like the way the way they went in like it was no games play no games They got a system you see how this shit looks Beautiful and then yeah, but you had to sit there right in like telling me I shouldn't know right 30 minutes Beautiful 30 like when I tell you it was so efficient and then the way they was folding my clothes right and this would I this would this would me and my wife got into a jack because I was like God need to learn how to fold clothes like them and what your wife says she goes I have the folding thing So speaking to Chris point she kind of snapped at me and I'm like you first, but I didn't know y'all had a machine or whatever this shit is It's like some you know I'm talking about Taylor. Yeah, it's like a board. Yeah, I'm sitting in the hole my whole life Trying to fold as good as these people and y'all using a fucking board. I thought that's why women have tits So they have some of the rest of the phone Isn't that like God made What else we got Um To y'all you know I was deep down that rabbit hole you know what that I've been I mean I knew them stories before he even did Rogan Oh crush, I'd been so tell me more about these reptilians that your friend encounter they were alive Yeah, so they were live post-crash Yes, why do these things keep fucking crashing so some of it is NHI versus NHI what yeah, they'd war in the sky isn't that in the You think it's like what they get along they're so advanced, but yeah The we have records of them fucking around with each other now the reptilian craft what did that thing look like? That one is tic-tac looking uh-oh yeah, I was hoping they were the cool ones The reptilian ones are the ones that everyone's terrified. Yeah, and once again like We're we're doing like and of course it's not always the tic-tac once again kind of like what I said, but like that tends to be them From what I understand obviously hopefully I'm not wrong, but I'm you know pretty good sourcing on that uh When you see like a malevolent behavior, right? It's like well, that's a humanistic lens you're seeing like a animal lash out and cactivity kind of thing or they're in duress They're having an emotional experience etc. And it's like you know are they actually scary or is it just because of the situations we've been in with them and someone kind of bias and all right, so yeah And so these reptilians what did they look like now? I've never seen that personally your friend described it's like very almost like seven-foot tall plus Sort of guerrilla Looking guerrilla-looking staley skin though reptile guerrillas, but there's multiple types. There's ones that are are more Human-noid looking so there's multiple types of reptilian. Yeah, and I'm not an expert on that one That's once again. I never saw it in person. They get the exact uh know what Supposedly happened to those living reptilians from the crash Uh, uh deceit Was he the cease? Oh, I thought it was The cease they were killed. No, they dropped one off in some of those South Carolina You saw it the Lizard man Google it, you know, I'm saying for you come on man. I'm from most corner South Carolina We had the Lizard man growing up. You know many sightings of those reptilian aliens We used to see in some of those South Carolina all the fucking time look it up Look up lizard man South Carolina y'all all looking at me like I'm fucking crazy I've been like we like this is old news to me. Yo, I've been seeing this since I was seven eight years old Okay, the Lizard man this out. No, look it has a Google the Lizard the city of Bishopville the Lizard man details the famous seven-foot tall reptilian cryptic what is that crypt what? Reptilian crypt told I don't know the fuck that cryptic that reportedly haunts the scape or swamp and Lee County South Carolina first Siding cryptid first siding June 1988. Okay. I was nine about to be ten depending on what the date was 17-year-old Christopher Davis claimed the scaly green creature and glowing red eyes and three-finger claws Attacked his car. Okay, the bitch sitting around scape or swamp near Bishopville South Carolina witnesses described a bipedal bee standing seven to nine feet tall with green scaly skin red eyes and massive three-told footprints when I was in high school I wrote us a story called slaying and it was about the lizard man and the lizard man used to stand the swamps of South Carolina and he used to sit on the outskirts of South Carolina and he used to watch all of these little black kids play so he learned how to talk and act by watching the young black kids and then eventually he came out and introduced himself all the young black kids embrace them all the white kids wanted to eat them why didn't want to eat them because he's a fucking big ass seven-foot lizard all that guy didn't eat coming out the swamps of South Carolina you know but it was good eating and so either some of the kids were either afraid of them or the other ones wanted the white kids were afraid of them and some of the white kids wanted to eat them but all of the black kids embraced them because the black kids are used to being you know I don't want to say ostracized but like they're used to being othered you know and that was a I wrote that book when I was in high school for a school project been been up on the lizard man I of course I believe in the reptilian speaking of aliens did you watch Lancer I did what are your thoughts um red wall I thought it was great I thought that the last episode was very anti-climactic um the ending was hella cheesy you think it was oh god damn cheesy oh wow okay keep going on whenever somebody takes off like this oh you know saying oh I whenever somebody takes off chest up I thought like they doing remember how Drake was dancing when he was at his bar mixed with the kid he was doing this shit remember that whole video whenever somebody takes off flying like that I'm like oh that was cheesy and what we're watching my wife was like okay please don't let him fly please don't let him fly please don't let me here he goes he just takes off like that other than that I thought it was good I don't even know if the last episode was next there no after they killed the man honey it was cool but I mean we could reveal right yeah spoiler alert spoilers I love the fact that they had to make that choice between killing the low boy enough letting him it's like can your can you not be what your destined to be like can you you know this little man hunter kid is he capable of you know fighting back what his DNA and biology wants him probably not but you kill him later that but also there's if there's beauty and like I'm not gonna kill you for what you could do I'm gonna wait for you to fuck up before I give you a chance I'm gonna give you and that's what we all want right there's a chance I thought it was the best show on TV oh no it was fantastic I just thought I just thought in the the actor Aaron Pierre every yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah first of all fantastic from first episode to last episode you wanted to say he was fine oh he sees how he's fine he's not he's like fantastic you about to say fine you wanted to say fine don't fuck him back from first episode to last like at first I wasn't I'll be honest I wasn't fully bought in really by the end I'm like I want to follow this at first I was at first episode I'm like Kyle Chandler the how Jordan I'm like I've watched this guy for the last time he's phenomenal but by the end I'm like I'm cool watching John I want to see what John does next I thought they just they they fucking sliced it perfectly I like John but I'm gonna need some of how's hologram I think how's coming back that's what I'm say I'm gonna need some how they're gonna get hell out of here they didn't give me enough of John by himself for me to grow to really love the John character I also love this idea of like fear and fear is also a weapon but not giving completely into fear like Sinestro is all fear and maybe how is no fear at all and John is this perfect balance of like you actually need fear but that's how I speak about anxiety yeah yeah because it's gonna it's gonna happen regardless yeah you embrace it you got you have no choice yeah you know I'm saying like that's it can't run from it you can to be afraid to be afraid don't be afraid to be afraid yeah and keep in mind this is a fucking superhero TV show that they did in a grounded kind of like detective way and I'm like this is fantastic I mean it's great because I'm like I said I'm born in 1978 I'm 48 years old I'm never giving a fuck about Green Lantern in my life they made me do it they made me fucking do it they made me give a fuck about Green Lantern I care about the Ryan Reynolds one I think about that movie I thought and I think with it the smart thing they did is they barely didn't need a green shit they barely didn't eat green shit this is not about the green shit his pile is kind of calling me to be honest with you when it gone imagination he's but you might as well be a fucking pottery guy like you do clay like you put you make shapes and shit like he could do some fire shit with it though I want to see it I wanted to see how knocking down the sheriff so that's what I was like I know that should end up on a wmb8 you see how we know who's throwing the dildos it was fucking John Stewart and how Jordan and free that's the greatest marketing for lantern season two I ever saw I know how it was probably doing some wild shit with that ring with that sheriff that Thank you.
So fucking open y'all son. She killed he killed everybody in the area. He's responsible everybody's dying You know how nice your dick game got a thing for you like forgive him He probably was making other women fucking making other women come into the room making a dick bigger Like just doing it whatever she wanted with that fucking She that woman I Can't hear in that but we don't need bad woman. This is what James gun is fucking up. Oh We want to go right now. All we want is the core. Yo, give us the OG Adjust the sleep. That's it. Give us Batman. Give us Green Lantern. Give us Flash Give us Aquaman. Give us Wonder Woman. Give us Batman. Why is flat? Like I never got flat What you mean and like as a white guy I was seeing fast shit is supposed It never fucking got me like so all you are as fast like like like now flat It's just too easy characters like to really like when I was young flashing Batman Batman. Yes, I get Batman I like flash, you know, but for what reason? Because he had a super power that I thought was That I thought I could acquire I'm never gonna be a rich white. You see what I'm saying. I can be flat. I can make him run fast You know what I'm saying and he used to run fast and his metabolism so high He used to like to eat and he could run fast enough that he could run through walls like I just thought that was cool shit Yeah, I guess I thought Flash was cool. I fucking fast. You can manipulate time That's that's five. Alright, so that's the other thing that like I think they did really well Lanters you got me invested in this super power So maybe they can do that with Flash they did it with Thor I never thought I was gonna care about fucking Thor and now I'm like I love this guy. Thor makes sense though But did we get under as a kid do we care about thunder and even the most shit important shit this lightning way better than thunder? I don't I think the lantern having the charges bring his corny as fuck though. No, but it's like your phone and I hate that but it's relatable. It is but I hate it It's just like come on, bro. You got an iPhone. You got an eye. You got an Apple device for a fucking supine. Yeah, and every super hero needs a weakness Exactly, if I never win that true if you don't have a weakness, you know, that's true I just I enjoyed the series. I don't think DC misses with TV shows You know what I mean? They're not bringing back peacemaker though. We had John seen all this week. Oh, yeah How was John John was great. We got John on this weekend. Yeah, Daniel broke a couple weeks He said they're not bringing back peacemaker for whatever reason I'm you know John's I feel like John's out of here in terms of acting. He's doing films. He's like his schedule got to be crazy He should be the motel man What does that mean motel should be building all of their stuff around Johnson and he was in Barbie He was a merman in Barbie. Now he's in this new matchbox movie. That's motel like matchbox the racing cars Yeah, the low rates of cars that comes out on Apple TV Friday. Okay, then GI Joe's coming out That's all motel you might as well put motherfuckers. What are they doing for GI Joe? Are you the GI Joe motel? Are they having, bro? I think it's D is GI Joe done by I think it's motel I would love them to make GI Joe work that would be awesome. They're doing it I know but I would love it to be like a you gotta put John why would you not put a guy that's already built like a fucking GI Joe Yeah, trust me. I gotta be able to play somebody, right? Yeah, that's a smart dude, too No, he's charmed like that's the illest thing about a lot of those wrestlers when you meet like if you ever watched the rock When he's doing it interview and you like that why don't you put your eyebrow like that? That's crazy. I did just a mention of the rock made him do it do the people's eye But when you sit down and you watch the rock have a conversation He's just super intelligent. It's the same thing with John Cena. Yo, I used to know what John Cena. He's a very Bright guy That's the thing the wrestling is the most underappreciated form of live entertainment and it's the most like successful arguably by the numbers But the people who don't get how dynamic wrestling is think about this thing Every single week they're writing a scripted play. They have to have the physicality to do it But also they have to react to what the audience wants if the audience starts booing somebody They don't go. Oh God. What are we gonna do? How are we gonna figure it out? They go? Yes, the worst thing that can happen in wrestling is people don't care if they love you like crazy or they hate you like crazy That is You for it to them. I had two conversations this week that made me think about what you just said John Cena was talking about how He could go out there as a wrestler and essentially do the same bit every night, right? Like the same act every night and it made me reminded me of a conversation that Chris Rock was having what Chris Rock was talking about Being a stand-up is the hardest thing to do on stage, which I agree with and he was like, you know I wish I could go do bring the pain 30 years later You know saying the way Jay-Z does a reasonable doubt, you know, he was like we we essentially go up there I forgot how he broke it down. It's so true. We essentially go up there and we're doing No material and we got and it's got to kill like you listen to your favorite Beatles You see what I'm saying. I mean it's about the hardest job in the world because we We're have to always come up with new stuff Yeah, I wish I could go, you know me and it's where bring the pain and Reasonable doubt came out the same year. I wish I could go do the bring the pain to our Do the same show Big up to Jay no one's nicer. Yeah, never I go see Beyonce Jay always brings my kids back to see Beyonce and we see her and she's like sweaty and everything So you'll never hear me say anything bad about Jay But when a comedian does it's like you know that part of every musical Show you go to where the person goes and now we're gonna do some new stuff. Yes, and people go to the bathroom As you for an hour that's Comedias for hour. I'm gonna do nothing but new stuff and blow your mother fucking mind That's what every comedian does okay, so imagine recording a new record And going straight to the stage with it people with boop it's hit or miss people with boop but essentially and that's only three minutes Y'all go out there and try it for our hour. No, we have to do it for now. Yeah, he's 100% right? You know and every time you do it You're like that was the best thing I ever did How am I gonna find a way to top that and then you get back in there and you fucking grind and you push it But I get it bring the pain was one of the most incredible specials in the history of stand-up comedy Is it's truly one of the greatest pieces of American art, but you can't do it anymore once this out and it's on HBO You can never put on the material ever again. Yeah, yeah, you can never maybe you could though I don't think there's a whole new generation that people that wasn't even alive 30 years They might appreciate that for sure, but in terms of doing it to your audience that already saw it's not the same as music We're like you go to the concert and you're like play me the songs. I love right, but what about like somebody like Bert Who goes out and he does the machine? I think it's a very unique thing It's like this stand-up you could probably explain it better. He is a story that he tells and he's been telling for a while And the audience is kind of like in on it like they know he's gonna retell this story and it was a story that you know catapulted his career forward But like I think that he's doing that as an addition to whatever else he's doing I think if he just went out there and just told that story over and over again Oh, yeah, you can't do that. I'm just saying like you can tell something from a long time ago people like anticipated it Yeah, like dice clay for example had a moment where people want to hear the nursery rhymes like like I can read dickery duck your mother was sucking my cock exactly and people got in got in on it But I think also they want to be surprised they want to see something different They want to be you know They want to experience something new and they have every right to do that. I think Chris could go out there to update the N words versus black people all the time But you know doing it for a particular audience. Yo shout out to Chris man Chris is how was Chris on breakfast club? I stole you out of mine. He was great, bro. He's like an hour and he's the judge. Like Chris is the funniest year What people was like? Yo Chris is getting so much backlash. He had to run to the breakfast club First of all Chris has been on the schedule for four months. Yeah, right and mr. green comes out Friday Well, what was he getting backlash for? Uh a couple of the things actually he got backlash for the Tony rock thing. Do we have that Taylor where did you know because Tony right? If I think people took what Tony said out of context Tony was on naim lin's podcast and Tony was just saying He would love to essentially go on tour With his brother. He was like not do like spot dates, you know, like you know I guess sometimes Chris would have him open up open up in Brooklyn Open up in Houston because Tony used to live in Houston. Yeah, he opened that show and Brooklyn that Exactly, but he was saying he wants to go on that actual Rock and rock. Yeah, rock brothers. Yeah, and I don't know why the internet took that as Chris doesn't do anything for Tony Tony has been on everybody. He's Chris you played dunkel on everybody. He's Chris He's been on other things. I don't know if he's ever been in any movies with Chris But what Chris was essentially saying. Oh, we have the clip. No, let's play right here. But this is what Chris says So do you feel like you failed your brother Tony when you hear Tony? Oh my god. When you hear Tony You know say the thing that he says he loves you. He supports you. He's not jealous of you But he wishes that you and him could do things to I mean, maybe we'll do something together I cannot wait for the day that he says yo, let's go on tour not hey, I'm on tour come and do Brooklyn I'm on tour come and do Houston because that was my second home Yo, we're going out for 30 cities. Yeah I cannot wait have you're in host. It is a dream Beyond the dream of mine. Mm-hmm. I mean you've been in stuff and he said you want to go on tour and we just haven't done a movie or tour But you know, yeah, you know some of that's just being around. Mm-hmm. Tony lives in LA. I live in
in New York. Tony lives great, man. Tony makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Tony's got he's on tour all the time and he's got hilarious tours and he's got properties and like Tony lives better than I did on Saturday night live. So it's not like, I mean, I'm not, I'm, dude, you ain't never going to get me to say anything disparaging about brother. No, you shouldn't. I don't even just say it. But he's doing, he's doing fine. It's not like a situation where I'm like, well, I got this guy. No, he's doing great. And everybody, you know, Damon's not in scary movie. The way to make it funny. Are you obligated to do things with your family? Well, well, first, let's just pull back and be like, he, it's not like he's done nothing. That's my point. Yes, that's what I think. I think people took what Tony said out of context. Tony just simply said, I can't wait for the day we go on tour together. Look, when he's been in stuff that Chris has done, Chris has put him in stuff. He's also not saying that anything that 99.9% of comedians alive right now don't feel, which is I too would love to go to Chris Rock. Who wouldn't want to go on tour with the greatest comedian ever? Yeah. How many tours has Chris Rock done? I don't even know if Chris goes out like that. Like, if he has a special, he did a couple, he did a couple of years ago. It was him and Kevin. And him and Kevin did like five dates. They did, they did a certain amount of dates. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Kevin did a certain amount of dates. That'd be cool. And who knows? Maybe that happens. I just think people are so quick to like try to make somebody a bad guy or try to understand someone's intentions behind it. And it's like maybe, I don't know, like maybe think from Chris's perspective where he's like, all right, my brother has his own career. He's crushing it. He's killing on the road. Like, is there a version where me telling him to come on towards me? Like, is little bro in him? You know, like that might be another situation. Who knows? Maybe Tony's saying that on the pod and that gets back to Chris. Now he goes, oh, shit, my brother really doesn't want to go out. This is the 44. People act like Chris and Tony don't talk all the time. 32. This is like their brothers. That's the only thing that those in the office like, why wouldn't Tony just have this private combo with Chris? Why not say it out and try it into the ether. But now it's three footer October 16th. Think this movie in the world. I'm sure Tony didn't think that the internet was going to take what he said out of content. But it adds like, now you have the public pressure of something you could have asked them privately. I don't see the problem with it, Joe. I don't see the problem with saying, hey, man, I wish me and my brother would go out and do 30 dates. By the way, like you said, when does Chris go out on tour like that all the time? Like when does Chris rock announced a huge tour? Like they, they just felt always torn. Yeah, I don't see Chris doing that. Chris, I think he just has a movie coming out. So he's missing movies, right? It should, you know, Tony was in everybody hates Chris. He played Uncle, uh, I always uncle, uh, it's somewhere to our uncle Richie or Richie. I don't remember. But he was, he was everybody. And he was in the cartoon. He voiced the character and everybody hates Chris cartoon. It's not like Chris don't put Tony in stuff. Yeah. But he's making as much as I made on Saturday night live a little. He's making more. He said, he's living better. Yeah, but Chris rock was on Saturday night live when he was like 18 years old. Yeah. Yeah. I know what he's saying. No, we're reading it to this. Yeah, but it came off of the awkward. I'll put it like that. Yeah. Chris is awkward. Well, that's true, too. Like he has hamburgers. What's the shit called? Whatever the fuck I don't like saying that shit. Don't that. That's just so crazy. Yeah. When you're out of the hammer, we got to find a better way to say that shit. Asparagus or asparagus. I like asparagus asparagus. Asparagus. Asparagus. Asparagus. Asparagus. He's got asparagus. Not hamburgers. He got hamburgers. Asparagus sound like what fucking, uh, what's that New Jeffrey Donald's eating on Sunday? Well, I am a fucking gorilla, but asparagus in a second, you want to eat with this fucking asparagus.

Peace speaks better than you and he's not even one yet. That was crazy. All right. Y'all please. You sounded like the guy with Tourette at the thing. Boom for my son. I what the fuck? Both of my son, y'all, for a baby of the year. You can click the link in my bio. Taylor that made underscore it and it'll be there. Please. Yeah. This is important. This is not, no, he's not stopped. This is this is very important week. He has to make it first and then he'll really move on. Take a ranger for the little. He's very. And Taylor's trying to pass. I'm gonna show you Taylor got. Taylor got. He got P walking. Whoa. First of all, three years can walk. Got peace and peace talking. Okay. I saw P brushing his hair. Like, no. It was crazy. He brushed. He did like this. Then he cornered it itself. Wow. Unbelievable. Salute to low P. I saw him last night. You posted a picture in his story. Yeah. Did you like video? I saw low P. I saw low P. Shout out to low P. But now go vote for low P. Please, y'all. I voted. I did the one free vote. So goals make sure. Anything over one vote. You got these guys. Please. You can do the one free vote too. All right. And it's two times two. If you vote for one, it counts as two. Nice. Oh, it does. That's right. Um, Trump doesn't care about LA or San Diego. Can we hit his clip, Taylor? I got to be honest. Let me play. Let me play. Play. Play. Play. Play. Play. Okay. Uh-oh. The day when he said was wild. You saw the city. Yeah. I got a big win in Got Baroque and Joe Biden. Hillary claimed about one or two. I got plenty of people telling me. Go get them. Let's just play. I didn't hear that. Go put the audio. See a tremendous victory. You want to see a tremendous victory because it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember with the works just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small
price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That's, this is the first of all, price to pay. And it's going to be all over the very soon. It's essentially almost all over with. And they might keep going a little long. You know, they always say they have a big threshold for paying. They need it. Let me tell you, they need it. But it's going to end very soon. And it'll end one way or the other and your gas, and your gasoline and all of the things. I want to see you. Is this treasonous? I actually kind of disagree. What do you think? What do you think, Chris? I think he was riffing and what he was saying is if they did that, that would be we're keeping the prices high to take away their ability to take to do this. I don't think he was actually saying let them take San Diego, let them take. Chris, there's no where a president of the United States of America should even be riffing or joking about Iran taking out any city. Oh, for sure. I mean, this, this is what happens. But this, this is an example of a clip when I read it, when I was like, this dude is fucking out of his mind. You know, I started going crazy and the headline sounds like he's actually, when I heard it, I was like, next, this isn't the one to focus on. Like, there's so many things that you should put your energy towards and this is we can pick 50 things right now. This, this happens not to be the one in my opinion. I mean, listen, it's election season. So, you know, if you're still, if you're putting up a list of all of the reasons that people should go out and, you know, try to make him a lame duck president, this is another good reason, you know, because this is not America. That's not America first, Chris. No, no, no, no, I didn't vote for that. But I'm today I'm more concerned about. I didn't vote for that. I'm speaking hyper. If they should like that and people would be like, see, he did it. I'm saying, if I was a person who supported Donald Trump, I didn't vote for that is what I'm saying. I voted for America first. That's not America for it. I get it. I think, you know, I would, I would focus on what might be happening around the midterms with the election and luck, potentially taking, you know, the voting machines and they're trying, you know, there's, well, Chris, this isn't it. Where two people who believe something catastrophic could potentially happen before the midterms. Right. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Iran shouldn't have any nuclear weapons based off what they did in Iran last year and what they've been doing in Iran recently. They should, they shouldn't have based on the amount of money we spend. Exactly. We know they don't have no nuclear weapons. So if something was to happen in San Diego, Oh, what you saying, what you saying now from Chris, what you saying? If we're looking, if we're thinking about a potential false flag have been happening, Chris is going to last me talking about that fucking airplane shit. All right. Everybody was killing me. I thought it was Israeli pilots. We were reporting the day of. Yeah. All right. I'm not, I'm not a fucking massage agent. All right. What are they saying now? Look at this guy trying to say it was Israeli pilots. That was, that, it was some bullshit. Look, because number one, how does a pilot get a knife on the plane? Number one, I mean, I bet they could get a number two. How did people get in the cockpit? And didn't know the guy fought off the attack or in the open the door foot. That's what they say. Get the fuck out of here. Oh, no, you're saying an Indian guy can't do that? Chris, what are you talking about? It was cool when it was in Israeli captain. Now all of a sudden the guy's Indian and he's not capable of it. That's outrageous. I'm trying to get the spotlight off of me and put it somewhere else. The story did sound like some bullshit. I don't want to let attack the other. So there was one pilot who stabs the main pilot who was an Indian national. And the story is, as he's fighting him off, he manages to open the cockpit with his foot. A woman is standing there, Steph Curry with his foot boy. Awesome. Now the reason people are claiming it's a false flag event is because they're picked. It happened, you know, obviously by first class, the front of the plane. And their pictures of the passengers going into the cockpit to subdue the attacker. And if you look, you can see that people in first class, their glasses are still filled with water. The story is it dropped. I think 13,000 exactly feet in, you know, 45 seconds. Somebody just learned to fly a plane. And they're saying the plane would fall to fucking part of it. They're saying that the fucking ship should be open. There should be luggage on the floor. All the drinks should be spilled. Why does the plane look immaculate if it fell 13,000 feet? Y'all salute to all of the spirits and spirits on social media. Y'all got me. Y'all don't even need the spooky music. I'm bought in. Okay, between that and BB Netanyahu up for re-election. Okay. And looking to do something crazy, the staying power. I'm bought in on it all. Okay. The mid-term is coming up in America and when's the election in Israel? It's soon. I don't know exactly anything to happen. And he can fucking happen, bro. I'm bought all the way in. But as false flags go, that's pretty good, right? It's, you know, they're not bombing a city. Like, I don't know. I'm just we're Chris. We got a couple of weeks. Not for the Indian guy. He's cool. What did he say here? What does this ain't Taylor? Let's listen to it. Oh, this is, um, no, get the one where he said he could have been what and got Barack and all of them if he wanted to. That was crazy. He just said that today. I guess the one where he said Ohio, if you don't vote for me, I can't help you anymore. I mean, how are you just going to fucking threaten the entire state? He does not love America. He only loves himself. When will we realize this? It's really just that simple. Okay. I don't care if you're a Los Angeles San Diego Ohio. He does not care. Okay. I think he's trashed off to the point. You can't put it back. They don't know because they were asked that question that two, I saw two congressmen in the center. You're so far asked that question. They said, well, President Trump has created the greatest economy. When you see the real economy, what's happening with factories being built all over the country? It was today. It came out. There's never been a time like this ever. We're 20. I don't want to hear him lie to economy. It's just fucking like it. I laid down. I got some shoulders. They said we don't know. She looked like fucking John thrilled by the tick off flight. We got her back straight. She's on air from the fly. She looked like John and how about the let loose? With that being said, I could have done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could have done very, very bad things to Joe Biden. I could have done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama. I thought it was in appropriate to do so because you have to treat the office of the presidency with respect. Then I found out that they impeached me twice. That might be a side for one. Let me tell you something. I'm going to tell you why. That's spooky. This is good and I'm going to tell you what Trump just needs to add. He just needs to add context to it. All he's simply saying is, look, I know we're going to lose the midterms. Just don't impeach me. I didn't do it tonight. I couldn't do it. I couldn't get dirty. I didn't do it. I couldn't get you all dirty the last two years. I don't give a fuck if you like them all these people around me. That's letting me, let's let me be cool. I see someone with their kid. Remember, I let you go. Word is wrong. All that was. That's all that was. Now, this is the one where you don't get to. I know it sounds crazy, but that is just him reminding people. I didn't lock y'all up. I could have. Hey, I know I'm out of here. I know I'm about to be a lame duck pregnant. That's it. That's all is what that's all that was. That's all that was. What else we got Taylor gang? Taylor gang. Taylor gang gang. Oh, man. The Paramount Merge that happened. The Paramount Skydance Merge. Do you have anything about that Taylor? Paramount completed its acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery on Tuesday, creating a new media mega player called Skydance that will control large swaths of the entertainment industry. It also ends a month's long saga, as the merger has drawn widespread opposition in Hollywood. Skydance shares will start trading on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol SKYD, company said on Tuesday, while Warner Brothers shares will seize trading. The merger combines two media giants that already had control over significant assets across the industry, including CNN, CBS, HBO and a suite of cable networks, film studios, New Line Cinema and Miramax, among others, and streaming services, including Paramount Plus and HBO Max. It will also control a number of major franchises and brands, including Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and more. The deal's closure Tuesday comes after a month's long legal battle, as states fought the merger, alleging it violated federal anti-trust laws, but attorneys general ultimately settled with Paramount last month, rather than taking the case to trial, paving the way for the merger to go through. But the merger has still faced widespread opposition in Hollywood, as opponents have argued it will lead to fewer jobs, less ambitious content and higher prices. They've also criticized state settlement with Paramount as being overly deferential to the media giant. CEO David Ellison has rebuffed critics concerned, though, arguing Tuesday that the new company will be a stronger competitor in the media.
industry, with the talent, resources and reach to tell great stories in every genre on every platform for audiences everywhere. But it still remains to be seen how Skydance's new operations will play out in practice. In terms of the new firms leadership, Mattel's CEO is Skydance new co-CEO alongside Ellison. Now while Ellison has long held the company's ambitious plans to become a media powerhouse, the company is also going into its new era saddled with nearly 80 billion dollars in debt. Under the terms of its financing deal, Skydance has to significantly erode that debt by 2029, or else Ellison's billionaire father, Larry Ellison, will be on the hook to cover it using his own money. Let's look at all of the networks that are all consolidated under one thing. It's a lot. I thought someone would say it's about to be cable all over again. Man, it's about to be cable. Like everyone's burying and it's going to be cable. Street fighter, October 16th. Isn't it a street fighter? Street fighter, not paramount. Street fighter, street fighter, street fighter. October 16th. Street fighter. Let's see. Okay, so they got CBS Entertainment. So that's all the CBS TV network, CBS, news station, CBS sports, prime op media networks. They got all the major cable channels, MTV Entertainment, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BT. They got all international networks. And I think what HBO and all that. What's all the channels under there, you know? But it's more about the IP, right? No, they got all the actual properties. Sure, but like they get the IP from Warner Brothers. This is incredibly valuable. They have the biggest library in the world. Exactly. So you could take all those characters, do all those shows again, you could do all those movies again. You could, I mean, yeah, that's tell me to tell me the cons of this Chris. Well, I think the first, well, there's the con is first a lot of people are about to get laid off like thousands and thousands of executives in the industry are going to get laid off. If you ever went to buy a house in a nice section of LA, this is going to happen. It's going to be your year because a lot of people are going to be out of there. They won't be able to support their lifestyle. And you got and but you also want to keep the best of the best. If I'm paramount, Warner Brothers, I'm Skydance, I'm cutting a lot of Deadweight, and I'm keeping the top executives. I'm keeping the guys who have dead weights on the floor are people with long careers who aren't going to be able to get other jobs because it doesn't matter. Some of these guys have been deadweight and they've been collecting a lot of checks for a long time. Some and then also a lot of people who are really going to struggle. So there's a human element to it. Skyd has been making millions of dollars for a long time. You know, you're not talking about the top execs. Are you Chris? When you say to be top execs, it's going to be mid-level. It's going to be entry. It's going to be people walking on sets. I mean, yeah, those are the people. Okay, I get it. That, but don't they need those people though to know because they already have them in place. They're just repetitive positions. The other big issue in my perspective is you've just eliminated competition. There's no more buyers. There's one buyer, right? It's Netflix and now it's God dance. Essentially, I mean, they're other smaller. Universal is still making movies. But you've taken a major, major buyer off the table. These guys are going to have a ton of leverage. Even if you're lucky enough to get a project going with them, they know they have all the leverage and negotiation. Chris, you're not wrong, but I want to just take a step back. There's a lot of pearls for the creator. We live in a creator economy net. When you got a company like this paramount that needs to make 30 movies a year, and they need all this content, same with Netflix. That's why you see the Netflixes of the world and Disney's even getting into the podcast and business because they just need content. What you're talking about, what you're saying doesn't exist anymore. It exists in the smaller creator economy. There's a million Curry Barkers right now on YouTube. A guy who did backroom, there's a million of those type of people on YouTube. As long as those individuals are able to go out there, raise capital and shoot their own product, the paramounts, the netflixes, the skydances, the Warner Brothers, whoever the fuck these companies are, they're always going to need content. I think this is going to be great for the creator in 2026 and beyond. If you are a creator, if you're a Tyler Perry type, and I'm just saying anybody that knows how to go out there, if you're a drusty who knows how to go out there and create his own content, if you're these comedians who've been shooting their own specials right now, right? I'm not going to name the comedians names, but there's comedians out there who I know for a fact have shot their own specials and went and sold them, licensed them to Netflix. You did that. Like, like, sure, but I'm just saying, wouldn't you as a creator rather be able to sell to both WB and paramount as separate entities? Well, I also have the option of not selling to anybody. And that might ultimately be people's decision, right? Like, people might look up and be like, do I really need these guys? I've already found an audience that they're looking for. I have a lot of leverage in this scenario. It might be that the gatekeepers aren't as important. That's right. I would just prefer there be more gatekeepers. Just not like that. There are. It's just that we're in control of our own gates, and we get to choose where we want to go. Interesting. Like, they need creators, paramount, skydive, whatever you want to call it, Netflix. They all need our creators is that because there's so many other outlets, they might not be paying you directly, but you have the ability to get in front of fans and friends on TikTok on YouTube. He didn't even laugh. Chris didn't even name YouTube. But you're saying, you're saying, well, I said buyers currently YouTube's not buying. They might. That could. They're in the game. YouTube was in the game. So that's an interesting perspective that they're not competing against the other streamers. They're competing against independent creators. Period. They're content out themselves. I saw a paramount today announced that they're getting into the vertical game. Of course. Yeah. But they have to because that's the game. So like micro dramas, micro dramas, they have to like, what about what about the consumer? Because now there's going to be less streamers, so they can just charge whatever they own so much of the IP. Well, you're going to you're going to slash a bunch of your platforms now, right? Now, now I don't have to have 10 different streaming sites. I don't have to have paramount stars, peacock, HBO. Oh, you think they'll consolidate that? I would hold on. That's why they're going to play everybody off. But they consolidate and then charge more, like like what table bring back will they will they just question will they charge more than it costs to have paramount star and HBO or will exactly that's the way we don't know. And I play for paramount and I pay for HBO right now. Me too. Yeah. And it doesn't even hold on all of this. Like I haven't heard that take before. I think this is going to be I think this is going to be so good for the creators. I promise you right now they're scouring in the only difference now. If I was these guys, these companies, I wouldn't be waiting for the person that got a million followers. All right, millions to get them early. Get them early. Let them develop on your platform. Take this shit back to the old school. Like how people used to go to the clubs to find that next hot artists, whether it was the comedy clubs, or trying to find that next hot musician, scour YouTube and see who's really doing some dope. Different shit. Who can be the next person we can bring in and you know, give a few million dollars to create some dope shit. That's really interesting. I'm just saying don't skate past the human cost in this. And look, I'm sensitive to it. I'm a middle-aged guy. I'm aware of, you know, I'm hyper sensitive to the plate of middle-aged people who suddenly are caught in the middle to younger retire. You know, a lot of people are going to really get hurt with it because you don't to retire at two old to start over. And you start to retire at two old to start over, but guess what? They were too rigid to pivot. I guarantee you, and I'm not saying it's about everybody, but I guarantee you that a lot of executives that are going to get let go who for the last 10, 15 years was fighting what was coming. You know what? And listen, this is before fighting what was coming. They might not have understood how to adapt to it. So Chris, here's something I noticed, and this is not related to this, but I have noticed as the creator space increases, it requires real administrative talent to manage. That's a fact. And what I've seen happen is that there are people that came from like traditional entertainment places, VPs, executives now working on podcasts that are really big and applying all that knowledge, their relationships, the brands, etc. So these podcasts that are now garnering as many views are if not more than what exists on those platforms. So I, what I hope is if there are people laid off, there are all these creators that are looking for people can really organize and that perfectly grow a scale there. Most of these production crews are people who couldn't find work in Hollywood. I mean, I got laid off from a show. So now, care of all stages, you've been using them to shoot a film. Like if you look at the level that Drusky is shooting his project. Come on. We're not doing that with a few kids. Come on guys. No, no. That is professional level sets. Makeup. I mean, everything in that execution is the same as a TV show. Okay, but I'm not talking from like a creative standpoint. I don't know how that affects this. I'm saying that all these people's lives in terms of the, and you know, we could extend this conversation to AI too, right? I agree with you to think this system in America isn't set up for freelance, independent creator, lifestyle when you have a family. The
95 jobs, even if they were inflexible, even if they didn't see the way of coming, even if they didn't adapt, you need fucking health insurance. - No, no, no, no, to Chris, there's no question. - And now everybody's gonna be out there and this new reality is the Wild West, and people are gonna get fucking destroyed because it doesn't provide for that. - Yes, you're right, but when have you not had to adapt in any business, especially in your team? - You've always had to adapt, but I think there was-- - It was comfortable in these legacy institutions to provide all these things like healthcare and dental and they're supportive with, I'm sure IVF and all these things, you can create a family, you have kids in school that you can pay for, this is a real concern, don't get me wrong. - Are you a complainant about this before the consolidation? - No, no, no, what I'm just trying to talk to-- - But I think this is gonna magnify. - But what I'm trying to present is I hope, that the creator space there is continues to have so much work and continues to scale at a point where they're going and poaching talent from these different places. I would love if Druski's top creative guy, he basically snatched from HBO or snatched from whatever, like that to me is, where it's different than like, for example, when they started making cars outside of America and it just hollowed out Detroit, you know, it's like, well these jobs are gone. What I hope is there's a transition of the jobs existing in legacy institutions and they don't just go away, a lot of those talents that people get to work on the independent creator side as well. - That's what I think, that's what I hope we'll be able to have. - That's what I think is gonna happen, Cruz. - That's what I really think is gonna happen. And it's not like, I don't know how, the layoffs are going to be massive but they're still need a lot of those people. They're producing a lot of content. - Well, they're just gonna hire everybody. - 30 movies a year is a fucking lie. - I wanna hire everybody's consultants and freelance contractors, which is fine and then that allows you to do other work. Look, I'm admittedly hyperfixated on the health insurance part because I'm on Cobra now and I see how unaffordable it is. And I'm about to become a fucking single issue voter. It's like this country doesn't, if you don't have a nine to five, you're fucked. Now, if you're 25, if you're 30, if it's just you, you can figure it out. - It's different when you have the thing. - But they're gonna gut the middle class. You got a family. - That's interesting when you say that, until Cruz, 'cause a lot of people will say, "This is the heir of the entrepreneur." - It is. - But like what he's, he's actually talking about the opposite of an entrepreneur. - But that's something he said, if you don't have a nine to five, you're fucked. But a lot of people will say, "This is the heir of the entrepreneur." - And the most exceptional people are gonna figure it out and excel and grow. But like, not everybody's fucking exceptional. - And you have to protect those people. - And that shouldn't be a death sentence. - No, it shouldn't. - And that's how we have it set up. It's either you're gonna fucking fly or you're gonna crash. And society can't work that way. There's gotta be a middle where people are like, maybe I'm not the most talented, but I'm willing to show up every day and put in-- - It can be NFL combine every single time. - That's it. - Do you have to, in order to have a functional society, you have to take care of everybody. - Right. - And there's many people as you possibly can, yeah. - And right now they have it set up, like you're almost better off not making any money when it comes to healthcare. - Well, because then-- - Well, I bring dead out, I bring dead now, Chris. - Because then you can get Medicaid, right? But I mean, you know, look, I'll put my business out there for Cobra right now, for my wife, myself, and one kid.

That's before one doctor's visit. That's no emergency rooms. That's not my kidney stone surgery. - 46 grand, Cobra. It's not sustainable. - Chris, I agree with you. All of that would be going on without this. - No, I said, I'm extending this conversation to AI. - This is absolutely the same thing. - How sourcing a job, everything. But like, and I am a little more sympathetic to like, a middle class, or frankly a lot of the people who are talking about like upper middle class people, who have been successful, who, you know, have lived a nice lifestyle. But I'm like, the city's gonna be really fucking rough. And, you know, so I wanted a different situation and look at that and be like, I wish I had that problem. - Like, not wrong. I'm literally just looking at it from what it's going to do to the, for the creator out there. I just think it's gonna be a really good time. - Sure. - For creators. - And the creatives might not, I mean, look, the guy from Midas Media, Chris Midas, right? Like, I saw him at an event this was last year. And he was on stage, so I can repeat it. And like, people were asking him, like, well, what would you do if CNN came calling to you? He's like, CNN, what do I need to see in them for? - See what I'm saying? - I've got the audience that they're desperate to find. I'm already plugged in. Like, why would I cut them into what I'm already doing? And I think as more people build up their own audiences, that becomes a more real conversation. - I mean, it's mad people who got their own, their own audiences right now.

Hustler undiscovered by the says, what's the goal you have achieved that you feel you need to? I don't feel like I need to achieve any goal. God has been very good to me. All praise the due to God. I am extremely grateful. I don't have a goal that I need to achieve. I've got things that I plan to do that I will do. Yeah, I want to, we're doing it. I want to do movies. - Yeah. - I want to do movies. That's what we're doing. - That's what we're doing. - And when I ain't no nobody, when I sit around, we're doing it. - We're going to do the movies and we're going to license the content.

You know, you don't need to do that. You're doing that. - Yeah, but I do need to do it. What, tell me what qualifies you being a great dad? What would, what would be in a great dad be to Andrew's show? - Yeah. - Being really involved in my kids' lives, not missing games, being very supportive of them, them feeling like they could rely on me for confidence when they're feeling low or confiding me when they're insecure about something. - You're right, but that feels like saying, I need to breathe. - But that's that big breathe where you got on your face. It's so easy to breathe. It's so easy for you to be a good dad 'cause you want to be. - You're not ducking that smoke? - No, I do, I do want to be. - Yes, father's that duck that smoke. - I know that's what I'm saying. So it's like, it's something intentional.

You don't need them. - People living long. - You don't need them living long. - You did me dirty, yo. I'm holding that up. I told I wouldn't do it. When I'm just saying, I thought about that when you got the sweaty, what I'm saying? - I don't judge people for that, yo.

He's not swinging that spirits. Okay, he's swinging at people. - People, man. - And things and sometimes people might be folks you love. They did you dirty, they did you dirty. What you supposed to do? - They got to sleep with that. - I'm here in horror. They got to sleep with that. And some of them slept with you when you was a baby. - Oh my God. - You're still fucking be with you. You still wanna fucking, yo, I gotta wrestle. - I gotta die of shock, honor, die father, and die mother. Okay, but what if father? Didn't what? I've heard those stories, bro.
