Cold War

[MUSIC] We ought to bring in this podcast, has a kind of walk up. >> Yo, man. >> Asalama Andy. >> Asalama Andy's in the building. >> Did you vote yesterday? I don't vote in New York, I vote in Jersey, did you vote yesterday? >> I voted in Jersey too. >> [LAUGH] >> I'm voting in Jersey, man, shout out to my boy, Sidorellis. >> Did you vote for an Andrew? >> [LAUGH] >> No, I didn't vote, I didn't vote. >> You lied to me too, you told me New York was going to vote. New York was voting to fuck out of the yesterday. >> Not the New Yorkers. >> Shit, like 2 million people voted yesterday before. >> Nah, it's the people who moved here. We need to start defining what is a New Yorker, that's another thing. Like a New Yorker is your born and raised in New York. That's the only way you could be a New Yorker. If you moved to New York, you're not a New Yorker. >> And if you're a New Yorker and you move, are you letting out a townas decide your elections? >> Yeah, we know what the fuck is happening. >> Isn't that what the Democrats have been doing for the last time? >> No, isn't that it? >> Y'all took the Democrats everybody in. >> There's like, you know what, they get the Mexicans, let's get the Muslims. >> Yes! >> My god. >> And it's Muslims, not the Muslims. >> The Muslims, let's just laugh. >> The Muslims. >> The Muslims, why is it, huh? >> Muslim, Muslim. >> If you start milking them, you call them Muslims. >> [LAUGH] >> I know, it's different, not Muslim. >> Yo, can we, hey, shout out the Caliphate, bro, it's expanding. They doing their goddamn thing. >> That's not going to work, that's not going to work. >> What? >> What? >> That's what? >> You're not taking up for you left off. >> It's a bit bit bit. >> It's not going to work. >> What do you think? >> Why is that a dress like a communist and you're not saying anything about it? >> Not because that's my comrade. >> That's what the people, man. >> Yo, all right, well, I just know who to pick up. Okay, hey listen, come January, I just know who to pick up. >> I see. >> Okay, Eddie, bro, I see is ready. But you know what, they're not welcome initially. >> They not? >> No. >> They not? What city are they welcoming? >> I don't think they give a fuck about welcoming. >> I don't think they give a fuck about welcoming, okay? Listen, congratulations to Zoran Mandani. >> Hey, man, the best campaigns should always win. He ran a great campaign in a very weak field. We got to call it like it is. >> Yo, come on. >> It was a very weak field. >> Curtis C. Welles, you guys got a generational talent was in that field. >> You had a rapist, you had not a rapist. What did he do? >> Italian? >> You had an Italian guy? >> All right, you had an Italian guy. >> I like C. Welles. >> C. Welles? >> C. Welles. >> Can I give you a hot take on C. Welles? Because I love C. Welles. >> Talk to me, talk to me. >> You connected us with C. Welles guy, okay? >> This is all like a legend, Lisa, whatever, see y'all don't know. >> No, this is not a legend. He said fuck doing Flagor, because y'all endorsed Mandani. >> We did not endorse Mandani. >> At all. First of all, we never endorse a candidate ever once. We just give you the platform to come on. Because my idea was to have all them on. >> Yeah, you're the same episode, I want to put them all on the same episode. Anyway, Sliewa, Sliewa guy just kept ducking. And I'm reached out, we're the biggest platform, like on podcasts. Like not, you know, practice. >> Curtis got shot by the mob, bro. He's not ducking a podcast. >> This is, and again, this is all legiles, okay? I'm wondering if it never got to Curtis. And I'm wondering if his campaign manager's getting paid off. Because he's like, I don't put him on some heat right now. You can save face by continuing to campaign and pretend. But don't put him on some platforms that actually make a difference on Cuomo. We know you're not going to back out, but we're going to kick you a little bread. And just say no to a bunch of interviews. Tell him it's not worth it, and you're going to ride the momentum blah, blah, blah. Because why on earth if you were actually trying to win, would you not come on the biggest pod? >> Yeah, I did think you would not do that. >> I did think it was weird when a- >> Wouldn't even answer, and he reads the text. It says red. I'm calling, but you're ducking. So either he's, either Curtis doesn't want to win. Or this guy is not even telling him about the opportunities. Because either he doesn't want him to win or he's getting paid off. >> I guess you're all ledgerlies, whatever the fuck that is. >> The way he ended up on breakfast club was he was downstairs eating. Curtis was actually downstairs eating. And somebody goes, you know, isn't breakfast club here? And the security, one of our security guards was downstairs and was like, you know, yeah, I might know a guy, you know, he's I might know a guy. And so that's how they connected with him. And he's like, would you all like to have Curtis? And I'm like, yeah. >> Why on earth would you not want to come on one of the biggest platforms? >> In the country. >> I'm going to read definitely in the city. Why would you not want to do that if you're trying to win May of New York City? Why would you not even read the, why would you read the text message, not even respond? >> It's suspicious. >> I'm going to read the message. Just say, oh no, actually, they had called me, I'm bugging. They had called me and said that. But that's what they said. They do this is like, to me, that sounds like an excuse. >> They said he was glazing Mondani. >> Yeah. >> That's what they said. And say he endorsed Mondani. >> Well, they said the black guy was glazing Mondani, but everybody else endorsed Mondani. >> That's nobody endorsed Mondani. >> Anybody who, this is really the problem with flagrant is that whoever comes on looks amazing. >> That is, they're having a good time. >> They look amazing. >> I think that's what people don't realize about a show like flagrant. It's just a good hang. >> It is, that's, we literally, and we live in an era where people think it has to be conflict in order for it to be good. When the reality is, a good hang just sitting down talking to a conversation. >> Sometimes it's better. >> It's always better. I learned that a long time ago. Yes, you can get the confrontation and everybody will tune in for the view. It's actually better when you sit down with somebody and have a conversation. Look at it like an interrogation. If I'm talking to you and interrogation, I got to get some answers. >> Got to get some answers. >> Got to get some good interrogations. >> You got to get them a little windman, get some food, get them going on like therapy. Like, yo, that's how you get something out of the front. So, you know, I mean, Cuomo did that, that's Cuomo rescheduled breakfast club four times and never came. >> So that's the other day. >> We offered Cuomo to come in the same day, but we hit him back like the day before. And then he was like, I'm doing debate prep. And I'm like, that's your choice, you're doing debate prep, but the offer was out to everybody. >> He rescheduled with us four times. I mean, even up until this Monday, this past Monday. >> Yeah, so I'm like. >> Now, they did reach out to come back on and it wasn't available for us. But like, and I understand you want to prep for the debate. That's your progative, whatever, but that is a choice that you're going to make. >> Yo, Zoran pulled us. >> Same day, so. >> Zoran pulled up. >> Okay. >> Zoran pulled up the breakfast club. >> Pulled up the breakfast club. >> Now we're most the flagrant. >> You're connecting with the people. - Poppin' spots. So it was like he- - So Kamala wanted old poppin' spots. You think Eric Adam didn't go to the poppin spots? He went to the poppin spots too much. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna be just a problem. He was out there. If Kamala would have went to the club the day before the election, y'all would have killed them. You would have killed them. She went on flagrant. You went on flagrant. Then she would have been good. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. You see how the guy ate his work? Yo, yo, yo, yo. Chris B. Cream is crazy. It is, it is. That crispy, you are crispy cream. And I'm dude, it's good. Yeah, yeah. Can't you just listen, just just fall back for a second and just be an honorable man of God. And Islam and comedy just be an honorable man of God. Islam and communism. We're New Yorkers. You're still a New Yorker. I am. I will, I will say, I think go around and run a great campaign. Great campaign. Yeah. It is hilarious to me. And I said this on CNN last night. The Democrats are acting like this is such a revolutionary campaign and oh my God. He's the future because he talked about affordability, which Bill Clinton did in the 90s because he used social media and because he galvanized the youth, the basics, Democrats, y'all are so out of touch that the basics, yes, the basics work, y'all, the basics work. Try to make, hold on, you need to be careful. The basics work, you need to run 70 plus year old candidates who don't know what social media is. And you galvanized the youth, they don't know how to use social media and talk about people's dinner table needs. It's not hard. You're making me a little bit nervous here because you're criticizing the Democrat party and probably two years from now people will say the exact fucking same thing that you're saying right now on this podcast and they'll call them heroes for doing it, but they're gonna call you a monster right now. So we just, you just gotta realize that if you say it first, okay, you're the first one. You know, on the beach. We get to Republicans. You got bachelors. You're all calling Mondani a socialist and a communist when he ran the same type of campaign Trump ran. Okay, it was America first with New York city first. It was about affordability. Spread that money in your office and I'm a killer all safe. - Spit on it and you might call a trooper communist. - A socialist. - Spit on it. - Spit on it. - Yeah, you calling Mondani a thot communist socialist when he does it. Hey, noble concept here, guys. - Wow, just talk about what people are going to. - Listen, you were on fire right there. I just had to open the pussy and spit on it just so that Fox News didn't use it as a clip. Every time you spin hot fire, I'm just going to act crazy. I'm a busted open, glazed up so they can't use it as a clip. 'Cause we got too much commonsense on what it was on. - I want to came out with the Maca Hat yesterday. - Make America communist again. - Go! - We was never communist. - It don't matter. We were never great either, but we were never great. - We weren't great for everybody. We try to get there and it's okay. - Oh, boohoo. - Oh, boohoo. - Oh, yeah. - You make a country. You make a country. You're going to make it perfect immediately. Or is it going to take a little bit, you know? - Basically. - Go make a country, bro. - Mondani is your new fucking mayor. All you did was run on the basics, bro. - Bro, and lap complicate and shit. - Let's just call it what it is. If you're the mayor of New York, you're the mayor of America. No other place really has a mayor that matters. - Well, I'm going to tell you who's about to-- - So you're the mayor of Jersey, you're the mayor of Philadelphia, you're the mayor of every city's places. - You can be a mayor of the town, but I'm going to tell you something. - Hold on. - You know who's about to take that talking point that you just said and run with it? Donald J. Trump. - You're well, okay. - You're well-run as public enemy number one for the next year. - I think Trump, I think Trump should glaze him. - Really? - Yeah, if you want to subvert the whole shit, glaze him, don't fight, he has some, like Trump. Like that's why I like the people. And this is, by the way, once again, this is something that Bernie and this has been saying for a long time, that money has been running like Trump, right? But, and we said it since, what was the debate? When they asked him about Israel and he was like, "No, New York." And I'm like, "Well, that's Trump messaging. America first, that shit works." - Would you visit Israel as mayor? - I've said in a UJA questionnaire that I believe that you need not travel to Israel to stand up for Jewish New Yorkers. And that is what I will be doing as the mayor. I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform. Because ultimately, we need to focus on delivering on their concerns as we see. - I'm just, yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel? - I believe Israel has the right to exist. - You do that along with the affordability. You start to rob people to fuck up. - I'm talking. - And I forgot my point, so it don't even matter. I remember what the fuck I was saying. I'll pick it back up. - It was, I was saying Trump should glaze them. - Trump should, yeah, go. - The reason that won't work is because then Trump will have to admit that he got some socialist tendencies. But keep going, 'cause I-- - I mean that's it, like he would have to admit of you. 'Cause yes, it is affordability. America first, that's what Trump ran on. Your groceries are too motherfucking high. I'm gonna put more money in your pocket. Why are you having to pay so much for this? Why are you having to pay so much for that? That's shit, he's not gonna say, yes, when Donnie took my playbook, 'cause then it's like, so are you-- - So what I'm saying, you don't gotta say it, but like I think Trump has, I think the misunderstanding about Trump is that he is, what is it, socially conservative and then fiscally liberal. A lot of times people think it's the opposite, right? People, what do they say about Republicans? They are, I guess, socially conservative and fiscally conservative. - Yeah. - Right? - Fiscally liberal would be big government. He's not a big government. - He is in terms of subsidies-- - If it's Trump's checks, he's a big government. - Exactly, he's giving out the Trumps. He is in terms of, oh yeah, you know what? IVF drugs, we're gonna do 85% off. He is in terms of like taking care of farmers or whatever it is. He is totally about government being expanded. I mean, he's expanding government for ICE, right? He's expanding government. So it's like, he's not necessarily against it. There are those same tens of the tendencies. BC understands he has to take care of the base, right? But maybe so maybe-- - He doesn't wanna not need it. - It would take so long. - But Donnie leaned into his base in a way that we didn't think progressives on the left could. But I do wanna say one thing. I think that everybody is celebrating a little bit. It's just too much. - Can I, before we go there, can I just say one thing? I would, the reason why I would allow it if I was Trump, right? Everybody's going like New York is gonna be a hell hole, it's gonna fall apart, it's this, whatever. If I'm Trump, I wouldn't give Mamdanian excuses to why it's not working. If you're so confident that it won't work-- - No government outreach. - Don't-- - We're moving over each other. - Don't remove funds. Be like, all right, man, if you believe you got it, let's see. And then if it doesn't, then he goes, will you admit that it didn't work? Or will your ego get ahead of you? Because I asked him that on the pod. I was like, if your partners are not working and the people in New York are being hurt, will your ego be involved or will you be able to change it? He said, I'll change. So that's what I would do. But if you pull the funds-- - You know he can. - Mamdanian, but if you pull the funds, Mamdanian actually doesn't have to do shit. He just goes, oh, they took away all of our funds. - That's right. - And then he'll get re-election. - The smartest thing Trump could do is no government, oh. - No government, oh. - Because you know who, you know who, Mamdanian's biggest hurdle is gonna be Albany. So let him in Albany fight it out all the time. Let him in governor Kaffee Hoko fight it out all the time. You stay the fuck out of it. - Because here's the thing, he gotta play nice with Albany. If Trump does the overreach, he has a boogeyman that he could play to his people to pacify his people for things not getting done. - All right, wait for it, wait for it. But if Trump doesn't do anything in terms of stopping, he'll have no boogeyman, and he'll have to make Albany the boogeyman. But if he wants to get anything done, he can't boogeyman Albany. So now he's kind of in this frozen situation. - The only way Trump's boogeyman tactic works is if he lets Mandani govern and things don't work. If things don't work, now you can say, this is what they wanna turn America to. They wanna turn America to a socialist communist country. Look what they've done to New York. New York is a shit hole now. Blah, blah, blah, this and that. The smartest thing he could do is get out the way, and let Mandani try to do his job. - I think that's too big a risk, 'cause what happens if he gets out the way, and then Mandani gets stuff passed, and it actually helps out and makes the city better. - Hey, it don't matter. That's the worst thing. - You know what, you know what, you know what, it don't matter? - Go, go, go. - 'Cause you can't vote out authoritarian rule. You can't vote out fascism. - That's the other thing that's bugging me out. We're saying that he's a fascist. We're saying he's an authoritarian, but we're acting like he's just going to concede power in 2020. - Okay, like he's just gonna concede power in 2020. - No, no, no, no, no. - But I mean, but like, say, if Mandani does a good job, then Democrats are probably gonna get behind his style of leading and then Republicans are going to do something else to start flipping elections. He's already having that conversation out. - Okay, okay, okay, okay. Now we're getting into a whole other thing. What, what, podcasting? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm down to do it. I just, to Alex's point, what, what, Alex is worried about is that if Mandani's policies work, it would potentially make Trump look bad. Like, meaning like, but my feeling is if his policies work, meaning the people of New York are living better lives. They have more opportunity. They have more food in their plates. They have a better chance to make it in the city. That's awesome. And if New York is better because of it, Trump gets to go, I didn't get in the way at all. I love that city. And if that's the thing that helps New York, then that's great. And you know what? We also have had these programs that are helping people over here. - Yeah. he's not doing something novel, we're also leaning into helping. He's New York first, we're America first. He can own what Mamdani's doing in terms of the movement. - By the way, we talk about Trump. - By the way, what Mamdani's doing? - He has too much ego. - We have to also say, there's a lot of what Mamdani's doing that is very unique to New York City. The thing that's not unique to New York City is just the affordability aspect. That shit will work anywhere. But a lot of other things that he's talking about, a lot of other things he's leaning into, are very unique to a city like New York. Most of the country isn't super progressive left, like a Mamdani is, bro. I don't think that shit works down south. I don't think that shit works in the Midwest. - Yeah, but even like you said, the affordable affordability, everybody can take that. - Got lean into that. - But if things are bad, you blame who's in office right now. And so, Republicans can't run on improving affordability if the guy who's in office is making shit work. - You're right, but can I tell you all one thing? - No, I just wanna say this, man. It don't matter how unpopular Donald Trump is, right? It don't matter if the things Donald Trump does not work. Donald Trump is in the White House now. We talk about Trump as if he's campaigning. He's in the White House now with control of every branch of government. Yesterday, this is just my first opinion. The election we saw this week, it is going to make them use every bit of power that they have now to get rid of every check in balance. - Why? - These are all authoritarian regimes. - They were all democratic states. They were gonna go this way anyway. There's no like shocks in these elections. - I don't think so. I personally don't think so, but I think it's the margins. That's how I felt when I first thought, I'm like, these are all democratic states you shouldn't want that way. But when you look at the margins, how wide it was, like we're looking at like the mayor race and the governor race, they flipped 13 state-ledges slate, the House of Representatives flipped 13 state-ledges slate of seats in Virginia. You know what I'm saying? That's the type of stuff I'm sure they're looking at and they're like, hmm, let's speed up whatever we were going to do any mother fucking way. 'Cause they are already going down the path of fucking rigging the elections. Why do you think they voted on the property? 50 shit in California to combat the redistricting they did in Texas. I just think that the party that has the most power probably still has the upper hand. So everybody just look alive. I saw him telling, don't celebrate soon. I don't know, I mean, am I bugging Chris? No, I'm not celebrating. I mean, I'm happy with the results I voted for him. I mean, I think I was thinking from a strategic standpoint, it's interesting, I mean, you know, he's a far left candidate. What thing didn't he talk about during the campaign? - Trance. - Yeah, he didn't talk about identity politics. - Well, I was in it that I know of. - In his speech? - But he is, no, he is identity politics. He's a Muslim. - I have to talk about it. - He talk about friends, he talk about games. - Talk about money. - He talk about money. That's why I love this victory speech though. His victory speech, he wrapped all that shit up in a bowl. He was like, I wanna work with the police. He was like, shout out to the trans community. Black women, Jewish people. Muslims, like, he wrapped it all up in a bowl. The poor, he was like, you know, the women that can't afford, the people that can't afford groceries. He wrapped it up in a bowl. I speak of Yemeni Boldegah owners in Mexican Abuelas. (crowd cheering) Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. (crowd cheering) Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties. - We like, I was like, when van Jones was saying, he thought it was divisive. I'm like, why? Because he decided to shout out on New York. I'm gonna be a mayor for all of y'all. I'm like, is it divisive? Because he called out the billionaires and the oligarchs and what he thinks is in the authoritarian regime. - Van took a hundred million dollars. Well, he got, you know, you don't get to decide what he says no more. - Van Van Van, he gets his talking points from daddy. You know, who gave you a hundred million? That's what Van thinks. - That's the playbook though. - Listen, he's a Bernie. - The economy dummy. - No, no, no. The economy's stupid James Carbell, man. But it's like, this is, this is classic Bernie rhetoric. Like, Bernie don't want to talk about gays at all. Bernie's like, who gives a fuck of your gay? He's like, who gives a fuck of your black? You don't give a fuck. He's just like, this is a, this is a wealth gap, a wealth disparity. If we talk about money, it will affect everybody. I don't hear anybody else out of me. - That's out of me. - No, he said it on a pod. He was like, he literally was like, who cares if you're gay? You're a good person and you're a bad person. And it was refreshing because people are tired of the fucking identity politics. - Yeah, that's right. - Now, Mamdani is privileged in that he is identity politics already. - Yeah. - So, where is like a white guy's gonna get asked it every two seconds? - Right. - A brown dude won't get asked it. - It'll be explicit. - Exactly, exactly. So it's a little, you know what I mean? It's like, the other thing I'd like to see him do is if I were him, I'd sit down with the NYPD. - A media app. - Oh yeah. - Say, hey man, I'm gonna say it. I'm trying to replace you guys. I'm not trying to undercut you guys. I'm trying to support because crime is a real issue. - He said it in his victory speech though. Pull that up. - I didn't see that. Alex. - Yeah, and he said he's not fire and tish. - So the current, which is good. Send the message. - He said, I wanna work with police. He said, I wanna create, and I'm paraphrasing. He wants to create these tasks for us that work with police like, you know, when you're responding to mental health crises or when they respond to homeless people, like, that shouldn't be an issue that the police got to deal with. I agree. - No, he's saying all the right things. We just have to hope the police are gonna be willing to work with him. - And they will, they will work if they believe he has their back. It's that simple. But he has to convince them that he has their back. And he has to do that for the people of New York. He is the people of New York rely on those police. - Yeah, listen, I've been here since 2006. When the NYPD don't give a fuck about you. They don't give a fuck. I remember when they turned their back on "Build the Blasio". They turned their back on "Build the Blasio" crime went up. They were like, "Oh, word." And remember after the whole "The Fund of Policia" they're like, "Oh, y'all want us to fund it?" All right. - The most thankless. - Tindy itself. - The most thankless fucking job. - I agree. - That we all 1,000% rely on every single day. - Every second. - Every second of every single day. It is the most thankless. It is actually a real shame. - How little gratitude we have for the New York people. - I'm on record saying that I think police officers need to get more money in their pockets. - More money. - Like, you know, they always get more respected. - If you have these bloated police budgets, make sure more money gets in their pockets. We talked about it on this podcast before. If you pay them a higher salary, then you'll probably get a higher. - Yeah, you're gonna attract the better candidates. - Yes. - Yeah. - A lot of people, there's a thing is like a lot of people, and I'm not trying to make this all about the transplants, but the transplants played like a huge part of the selection. - You know what I mean. - Okay. - You know. - People who identify as New Yorkers. - But they weren't born. - They weren't born. - Got you. - That's the transplants. - Got you. - That's the truth. - Got you. - Got you, got you. - But like, they never, they were never in New York when the shit was, was really rowdy like that, you know? So I don't think they realized the role that New York City police officers have played in making New York City a safe place. They came here when it was a fucking Apple store. So they feel safe walking around. They didn't come here when literally I'm in middle school, me and every single one of my friends got robbed for our North Face Jackets within like a month. Literally one by one, North Face Jacket, back, back. - Was it fat Joe? - Say again? - It's fat Joe Blash. - It showed up to the Lutero. - It showed Rob the whole, yeah. - It showed up to the whole, yeah. - It was whole holds it. I'm better. - So it was like, it was a different time. Like literally in middle school, the principal had to get a loudspeaker and say, "If anybody asks you the time on the street, do not tell them the time, because they're really gonna slice your face with a box cutter as a gang initiate." - You notice somebody's back doing that in New York right now? You do know that, right? - Oh, I saw the slasher, yeah. - Yes, this is what we grew up with. Like my friends literally, you guys all know, gangs try to be like, listen, if you wanna continue hanging out with us, you gotta buck fit somebody. And then this is like, and we're in middle school. - Don't buck fit somebody? - Not at all. It's a circumcision, they call me. (laughing) - It's hilarious. So on our day and it's a different-- - Yeah, people moved to the sex in the city of New York. - Exactly, they knew there when the shit was sweet. And Loki, like we were born at a time where it was already way better than the seven. In the seventies, New York was insane. - '82, but that's was so scary when you sit down with people who grew up here, and they were saying things, especially during COVID, like, you know, this shit reminds me of New York in the eighties, cops saved this city. And you don't know it because you weren't here. But the police saved this fucking city. So it would be, to everybody's benefit, that he communicates to them, how important they are to making this an incredibly livable place. - I'll add one more thing to that. You want the NYPD on your side versus ICE, because that's coming. If they fuck the city with ICE, you want the NYPD to feel like it's defending New York, defending the people. - NYPD don't get the fuck out of the way ICE. Daran needs the NYPD on his side for his own personal sleep. - That's what I'm saying. - Oh, okay, okay. - Like literally. Or the city for every, like, ICE is gonna try to take over at some point. If Trump pushes the button, - Which he shouldn't. - He should not. But there could potentially be a true alien force in the city. You need the NYPD with New York, with the mayor, all that. That's, to me, that's the first step. You gotta get on the same page. - I feel like my thought process was a lot like Chris's. That's why I'm glad we're having this conversation 'cause I'm like, you know what, Andrew is right. The best thing Trump could do is not do government overreach. My mind was already going, it's gonna be so much government overreach, military in the street. I saw it all over the motherfucking place. You know what I mean? But the smartest thing he could do is not do that. Let Mundani attempt the govern. And if he falls on his face, then you can use that as a picture to paint for the rest of America until the midterm. - And if he's successful, take credit for it. - Just be like, yeah, he did all those things that we're already doing over here. Like, he followed my blueprint to a key. - And which is what Trump already does, right? If something works out, he goes, yeah, that's what we're doing. And if it doesn't work out, he's like, yeah, you guys fucked up. This is your shit. So, yeah, I think that, yeah, I think I like New York City just, he needs to make that connection. I think that would be really smart politics. - Listen, I think Zoran Rand are really good campaign, man. But, you know, it is something to talk about in regards to Democrats that he just did the base. - Boss. - The shit that Bill Clinton talked about in the '90s affordability. And the shit Obama was doing in '08, social media and galvanizing to you. Like, I'm trying to figure out, how did they lose it after all Obama? Like, like, like, what was-- - Because they were back to establishment telling people, hey, no, Hillary got on the-- - Here's the thing that people need to understand. The New York mayoral election is not Republicans versus Democrats. Is Democrats versus Democrats, okay? - Ooh. - So, the billionaires that live in New York are Democrats, pause. So, they're Democrats. Those same Democrats, if they lived in Texas or Florida, would be Republicans. They, there's no way that they're fiscally Democrats. They just know the only way to say in the government, to have us say in the governance of this city, is to vote blue because it's gonna be blue no matter what. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - So, it's not a real, like, indictment on the Democratic Party when this happens. Now, naturally, the billionaire class or the powerful people, whatever, they want to maintain the status quo. Because the status quo is what makes them all their money. Unfortunately, right now, the status quo is not working out for poor people. - No. - It's not working out for middle class people. - No. - So, poor middle class people, when they see a status quo candidate that has a last name, like Cuomo or Clinton or any of these, like, legacy people, they start to go, oh, that's gonna be more the same. I can't have more the same. So, they're gonna take a risk on an outsider, like a Mamdani, because sometimes having hope of change is more powerful or more beneficial than the guarantee of the same thing that you're suffering. - I do wanna know, 'cause he was polling at one percent in February. I do wanna know what exactly was the shift for Mamdani? - Yeah, they caused him to win a whole primary. I mean, a generationally unlikable candidate in Cuomo, a generationally unlikable. But one percent, bro. Generational unlikable. Number two, like, low key, if you, like, I was joking around earlier, but if you actually wanna know how Mamdani got elected, like, Hamas on October 7th got him elected. - Tell me what. - Hamas, attack, October 7th, okay? War starts between Israel and Hamas, okay? For the next two years, Israel just fucking like, ethnically cleanses, it looks like they're ethnically cleansing. - Okay, okay. - Anybody who's talking about it or going, "Hey, this looks excessive, this looks wrong, "what's going on with these people?" Is immediately labeled an anti-Sammide, you hate Jews? Well, what do you mean, where are we talking about hate Jews? I'm just talking about, like, this war that's happening over here, right? There's a mayoral debate where seven or eight people are on stage and they get asked a question, where would you go for your first trip? And none of us know any of these people on stage. And all of them say the same exact thing. I'm going to the Holy Land and one of them just goes, "New York first." - I'm staying right here. That goes uber viral. - Yeah. - But I don't think that is the same attention if BB's not ethnically cleansing policy. - Yeah, we know what, that's number one. - It's from the definition. - Sorry. - That gave him the separation. There's all this immense online conversation about the influence of Israel in American politics. There's this immense amount of conversation about like Americans not supporting what's happening over there, despite ascending billions of dollars. Like, there's this fervor online. And then there's this one guy who in this random debate, we can't do many videos out there just goes, "Yeah, I'm just going to govern the people in New York." And when people are already suffering, right, we saw this happen in New York City. People can't put food on their fucking table. And then they're illegal immigrants here. They were staying at hotels that we all knew growing up, getting three meals a day. They're like, "Why the fuck are they getting three meals a day?" - I can't grow. - Simple shit, it's the same shit that they were at the border and everything else. - I think that separates him immediately. And then there's so much money being spent to malign him that it actually makes him, raises his profile. So he's getting way more. And then the Democrats are so stupid that they run Cuomo, who is once again, one of the most unlikeable people. It's like running Kamala. It's like, it's not possible to run. - No, he's Kamala not that bad, bro. - I think they're on par. - Cuomo killed old people, sexually assaulted some folks. - I think Cuomo and Biden are on par. - Cuomo's more likeable. He just has the fuck. - Cuomo's not more likeable than Kamala, bro. - What? - Yeah, yeah. - No. - Everybody's more likeable. - I'm not, you know what, no. - The fact that he has a non-sexist face. - Is Cuomo more likeable than Kamala? No. - Yeah. - At his best. - At his best. - Come on, God. - What does Cuomo say to his life the most? - I think her best is always in private, it seems like, 'cause everyone who knows her, she's been getting better on her book tour. - Okay. - The tour is really good. - They are. Her book tours are really good. I'm really happy about the things that she's said. (laughing) - Yo, you know, she's not like anything alive. That's the few things that I am. Yo, shout out to the big man or he's not that charismatic. - He's not. - I'm thinking of criminal. - Are you guys crazy? - What, what if he said that? - Chris is mad. - Chris is mad, bro. - He sexually assaulted 13 women and killed old people and people were still thinking about voting for his guy. - That's not what it was called. - Nobody, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - But nobody like, - Trump, that, right. - Nobody like, right? There was, people were just anti-Mum Donnie. There was a single person that was supporting Cuomo. Like nobody was getting out in the polls saying, he's got great policies. - I think the money, I think the money was-- - I think the money was legitimately supported. - Yeah, no, no, they supported him because-- - He represents stability and a continuation of-- - It was like anybody who voted for Kamala. It was just like, they don't want more Trump. So whoever else is there, those support. - So I was talking to a lot of people, cops, nurses, and finance people, all were for Cuomo. - No, I know people. - But they were for Cuomo. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - They were for Cuomo. Like I love every one of his policies. They were afraid of what Mum Donnie might do to the city. - Nurses loved Cuomo for how he took care of them during the pandemic. Like every nurse I spoke to, and every medical professional-- - By the way, we don't talk about our Cuomo blew a 3-1 weed. Cuomo was the bell in a ball, no? - I know, I know. - Oh my God, he was the leader and he had America needed, right? - He had to be president. - He was, all he was doing was leading New York, but the fact that he was giving daily briefings and talking to people, that shit was galvanizing the country. - And it wasn't even killing the old people. It was trying to hide it and then putting out a book about how amazing he was at handling the pandemic. - Oh, it was called a hundred and seven days. What? What was it called? - I don't know, what was it? - That was Kamala's book. - Oh, shit. - You're right. (laughing) (laughing) - Oh no, it's locked in on a bookshelf. (laughing) - It's locked in on a bookshelf. - I didn't even know you put out a book. - You guys are forgetting the one person who was up 3-1 plus up 20 in the fourth quarter. - Hillary. - Well, whole equation. - No, I got him. I mean, for the incumbent Democrat to lose the New York City, not even make it to the election is unprecedented. - But he wasn't up 3-1. - That's what he was. - No, Joe, I being the incumbent Democratic mayor. - No, bro, Eric was, Eric, that's what I'm saying. - They were looking for obviously, Eric. You know, Eric was in this equation. Chuck Schumer right now. - Mmm. - All they got to do is put the right, if AOC runs against Chuck Schumer, it's out the pastor, buddy. - The Chuck key. - Eric is, Eric. - I don't know if he got it. - And come on, after what we saw yesterday. - That's the day. - After what we saw yesterday, I think somebody can primary Hakeem. Somebody can primary Hakeem. - Oh, he's not here. - Hakeem's out there. - I think Chuck is more, more, more. - You see, he's up, Hakeem. - He's up, Pelosi's going out to the pastor. - She said, she's like, I'm doing it myself. It's like, nah, shorty, you're about to get reaped, bro. - I'm disappointed in Chuck, I'll say that. - Them youngins are not afraid. There's two things that Mondani's election for me did for me. Number one, it gave me hope and free and fair elections. 'Cause I'ma be honest with you. I didn't think that they was gonna let Mondani win. - Come on, bro. - I'm like, all of these billionaires. - I thought they said. - The billionaires in the. - Yeah. - Say it. Chris, say it, Chinese. - Yeah. (laughing) - I didn't think they was gonna allow what the hell I'm like, nah. I said, if he won't-- - We don't have it like that, man. - They don't, no, y'all don't. - We don't have it like that. - You're right, you're right. - Yeah, yeah, right. - We're gonna call him the Taiwanese now. (laughing) - I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna be honest with you. - They're the Taiwanese, don't know it. - We're not all jokes aside, all jokes aside. For everybody who has these conspiracy theories about Jewish people, if tolls conspiracy theories were true. they were in everything, they can troll everything, when Donnie would not be the mayor of New York City. He just would not be the mayor of New York City if what y'all say about Jewish people was true. - Yeah, that's true. - 'Cause they spent a lot of money. - They spent a lot of money to not let him be mayor. - I was like, yeah, I was like, I just don't see them allowing it to happen, y'all. - Yeah. - And it happened. So it gave me confidence in free and fair elections at least on a local level. And it showed me that at least in New York, the socialist progressive agenda can get a lot of these established from the Democrats to the Democratic. - It's not only New York, the reality of the matter is is that people are struggling in America. That's the reality of the matter. When people are struggling, right? And they see the government sending billions of dollars overseas, right? It's not just Israel, it could be Ukraine, it could be anywhere, it could be Argentina. People in America start to go, how are you not taking care of us? If the economy was booming and they were sending money overseas, no one would really give a fuck. You bet, let's help out all these countries. Let's do them a favor. Let's be this benevolent empire. But once you struggle at home, we don't want to hear nothing about anybody else's struggle. You come here with that bread. - I don't know why that's so hard for people with a graph. - But the article was read on. - That's right. If America was really the land of milk and honey and everybody here was doing good, I wouldn't care that fucking Argentina got 40%. - There has been times like that. When the economy is humming, we're sending all this money overseas and we just look the other way because we don't care. It's not just the stock market's up. It's like people making good wages, businesses are cooking. There are these times when you could do it, but the government officials, and this is what I said, literally it went fucking viral when I said, "Mondani is the only New York First candidate." And it was like, I was like, he's running his New York first. - He proved it in that debate. - That's one question. I came up once the end of yesterday, 'cause Ben Shapiro was saying how he didn't have no good debates. And I'm like, that's not true. I'm like, what actually changed the tide for him? Was that moment at the debate? Because once again, you're leaning in the Trump's messaging. - What was Ben saying with his phone, yes. - What was he saying? Ben, just be honest. But I'm like, there's one issue that you care about. That's it. - Oh, he doesn't hide that though. I think that, we had a conversation yesterday and I was saying how I think it's unfair to call people like "Mondani Anti-Israel" because they're not anti-Israel. They're anti the current Israeli government, BB Netanyahu and his war crimes in Gaza. - Yeah. - That's what people are anti-Israel. - What do you say? - And I think that folks need to start pushing back on. - What have been to say to that? - I don't remember, bro. - And becoming a bindi spittin' in the world. - Technically, the amount of babies. - Technically, the amount of babies being killed, there's only the threshold of babies that can be killed. We've calculated the amount of babies that are being killed. - And the friend who does argue that with me. He's like, you can't technically call this genocide. In order for you. - I don't say genocide. - No, no, no, but I'm saying, I have a Jewish friend who we get in this argument. I'm like, you sound like a Nazi. Trying to fucking put a number. - You know what the amount of babies being killed. - What I say, what I say, 'cause I know that when you hear the word genocide, you're automatically ready to debate. - I say, "F-Wore crimes against Gaza." Because that is what he's been charged with on the world stage. - Yeah, I say, yeah, I go ethnic clensabies. I think that that's been communicated by people in government there. - That would get debated, too. I'm not saying you're wrong. - Yeah, that's fair. - I'm just saying, if you don't want to just kill the debate, war crimes. I guess we're all against war. - The reason why I said it is because I don't know if it's the goal to exterminate the people that are there. If Palestinians were down to move somewhere else, I think Israel would be like, we'll pay for it. You guys want to go? We got you. I don't think it's the goal to just kill every single one of them. - No, you can't say ethnic clens in it. - Well, no, moving people is ethnic clensabies. - Carthas? - No, it can be like moving up into the former. You can slap people out of it. - So where is it? - Broke a jet to holiday, bro. You're going like, no, no, no, no, no. Like a lot of this shit. - That's nine, 11. - That's nine, 11. - That's not 11. - To jet fuel holidays. - Thanks. (laughing) - We're not. - We're not. - We're not sure we're in the hope. - We're not sure enough to have a lot of this. - Why'd you make me say that? - You know, I didn't make you say nothing. - I didn't make you say nothing. - That was ridiculous. - What's the origin of that joke or meme? - I have no idea what it's all about. - What's the origin? - The jet, whatever. - I don't know the origin and then it is shit. I just jumped in like double dust, bro. - It was six seven. - It is what it is. - The jet is holiday. - It was just a really old information show. - Right. - I just started using it until they accidentally clapped on it. - So what do you think happens, man? With what? - Predictions. - Predictions? - When Donnie's whole candidate say, you know how we do, bro. - Oh. I don't think Albany will let him get most of the stuff done. I think he's probably a more shrewd politician and people give him credit for. So I think he will work them. The thing is this. If he has, he needs to get so much support in New York that Kathy Hocal thinks she can't win. - I can't win. - Without him. If he can't build that up. 'Cause think about it. Half the city, not half the city, maybe 40% of the city. No, half the city, including Slewa, is really against him. So, and the other half is really for him. It's on some Trump shit, right? It's that divisive. But half the city ain't enough to sway the election for Kathy. And the rest of New York might not be sympathetic. When's Kathy up next year? - This coming year. I won't say this and I want everybody to temper their expectations. - But really quick, quick. If Kathy, here's the question. Kathy might say I'm not raising taxes. When and after she wins, raise taxes. - Would it be her last term? - This would be her second. How many government, how many gubernatorial terms? So it's her last term. And then she has to look at what she wants to do politically after a governor. What do you do? - Senate, like what do you? - And funny, I would think she would say the opposite. I would say she would look like she's agreeing with Zoe, saying that she will raise taxes on the billionaires. But then after she gets elected, not do it. - Let me tell you, right? She's done, yeah. - But Donnie's had some key promises. I need everybody to temper their expectations and know. He doesn't have to do all of this shit, right? The free buses, the fair free public transit, the city run grocery stores, the lower food prices, universal childcare, free early childhood care, the raising to minimum wage of $30 by 2030, affordable housing and rent freeze for rent stabilized units, tax increases on high earners, corporations, defund these programs, LGBTQ support, and gender affirming care. That's seven things. If he checks off, two of those things is so in. If he gets, if he gets universal childcare, New York will be eating out the palm is hand out. Now hold on, out the palm is hand. I tell you something, hold on. I thought New York had a degree in that already. - I think they do. I think the Blasio put something in like that. - He promises to expand no-cost childcare from infancy to age five, but all families is part of his affordability agenda. - Okay, so this is something interesting here. To me, the Zoron supporter, the typical Zoron supporter, the kid who basically moved here, had big dreams of making it in New York City. They got $200,000, $300,000 worth of college loans. New York City's a rough place, it's hard to make it. It's the best of the best in every business come here. Maybe their career didn't go the exact way that they thought they could. They're realizing that the window to achieve those dreams is probably closing, the rent is increasing, and he's like, I'm gonna put a stop to that and give you a few more years to keep going after it. Those people, in my opinion, probably don't have kids. Universal Child Healthcare doesn't help those kids, those people, those voters, which I think are like the majority of the Zell voters. But that might really benefit the people that voted against them. - Absolutely. - And that might warm them up. - Absolutely. - To those ideas. So I've got the 18 to 29 generation. - Go up in the club and do the running man. He's shaking, I mean, oh, no. - He's the hostel. - He's the hostel. - He's the hostel. - He's not, he's not. - He's not the hostel. What he's hating on is like how phony people are. I said, "When people like you, whatever you do is fine, "and when people don't like you, you can do nothing right." Like, nothing right. - But it's not 100%. - Yeah, people like the family. - It's just people are phony. It's what I'm trying to say. - New York City in a club dancing to not like us, the West Coast song. - You couldn't even pick like a classic New York record. - He wasn't big. - No, he wasn't the DJ man. - I don't care. - Yeah, I'm so wrong. When I walk in, you should know what it is. - Mimi, at the corner, at the pocket. (laughing) - And JZ's on that. - Yeah. - And then JZ's on it. - That's the New York league. - Oh, if it's on that, it's okay. - But all I'm saying, he got to just get a couple of these things. - So, who do you think he can actually get done? - Universal child care. - Yeah, I think that. - LGBT, you can just use support in gender affirming care, I think. - That's nothing. - That's nothing. - Okay, Universal child care, and I believe minimum wage by 2030. - No. - You don't think $30 minimum wage? It's not worth a minimum wage right now in New York. - I actually have no idea. - You boys. - $15, right? Y'all still fucking rich. - Right around there. - $15, yo, okay, so I think he can get the child care. I don't know what else. I think within two years he'll be able to do a rent freeze. But that's two years from now. Yes, I think the supermarket because he only has to to do five. He only said one in every burrow. It's easy. But to me, I don't think that's a dub. Been in way 16 for me. With people, with food prices and the way people, you know how crazy the lines are going to be at those places. But I don't think you need that. I never, like, you know, no, no, I'm going to tell you why because you got food banks and pantries. Like, go to the food, if you go to the food bank in Harlem, the food bank NYC, you will see that they're doing that already. They're giving out the groceries and everything else. I would rather see more funding go to them because I actually see them do the work. That's all it is. A lot of middle class people that are still check to check. And they're not at the point of going to a food bank, but they are at the point. Food banks are bad. Like, but you know, a lot of people have pride. Listen, they don't go all the seas for your pride. But by the way, to that point, yeah, like this part, I don't like that. There was a woman at Card Breakfast Club this morning. I think she was from North Carolina. She just missed her second paycheck. And she was like, you know, look, she was like, you know, what a food bank add is here in North Carolina. I went there already. Like, they're already doing that. Some people don't have that much pride. I know, but I'm talking about the people that are like right there, a float, and they're like, oh, you know what eggs at this place is $4 cheap. I'm just going to this way. Who wouldn't do that? But to me, that's not what that's for. To me, it's not for that person. To me, it's for the people who don't have money for food at all. Right? If you're somebody who is choosing to live in a nice neighborhood that is outside of what your paycheck can cover, the food bank ain't for you. Yeah, but he doesn't have control of how people are going to utilize this shit. But that's something that he can do. And everybody will instantly benefit from it. And there'll be like, Oh, I like this. But also, you don't have my guy. I said to friend of mine said this. She was like, uh, she was like, I'm always skeptical of something about like, always skeptical of like, I forget exactly what it was, but something people who got a fresh manicure and pedicure, but they're getting something here. And it's like, if you got enough money to go get a mani petty, but you don't have enough money to go get food to your priorities over. And this is a friend of mine who grew up on like nothing, broke his fog, eBT whole life. She's not, she's not wrong. But I will say that there is something about doing a little something for yourself that keeps yourself. I, I, I'm not saying that that's wrong. That's not bad. I'm not saying. I do what she's saying. But I just, I can understand why people do both. Yeah. For me, what I would rather do is instead of building these grocery stores, I would rather subsidize the, the places that already exist in the hood. So it's like give the bodega's food, let them make more money, let them provide food for cheaper for the people in the area. I'm telling you, the food, man, you got the food bank for NYC does such a great job, man. And they treat people with such dignity and such respect and everything is such, you know, just such a, done at such a high level. I would go to get a bag, you know what I'm saying? No, there's nothing wrong if you need food to go like I'm just saying some people are going to feel like, Hey, I'm not at the level. I shouldn't be taking this food away from people who really need it. I think some people would say that. So to the food bank too, man, we raised $150,000. Last week, I put up enough money to do $25,000. All I wanted New York to do was match me. I just wanted to get to $50,000. We have like $150,000 right now. So I want to get involved in that. I don't, I don't think you're the late. Don't nail to your match. Thank you, Alex. I know Alex donated the makeup guru Bobby Brown donated mad. People just listen to breakfast club donated. Michael Chavey hit me up the day he wants to donate like you know, say it's just one of those things that like I've been doing the work with the food bank. And so now that, you know, there's a issue that I want people to really galvanize around. People are doing it, you know, so $150,000. I don't, y'all don't even realize how big that is. People over the holidays. And it's good food. Yeah, like, all right, let me shut up. I may or may not take cookies from there because the cookies are so good. They're cheap slap. You know, you know, cookies had those. I'm not just a guarantee. The chocolate chip cookies at the food bank in Washington Harlem slap. Slap. Okay. So I may or may not be bagging up cookies and put one or two in my pocket, but that's cool, right? Hey, man, you provide $150,000, $150,000, $150,000. That's all I'm saying. And go back to the store and put a button on it. I said he got to do two things. He really only got to do one. Like, what do we think of when we think about Obama's eight years, Obamacare. All right. So if he do the, if he get the, if he get the child care, if, if Mandani can get the child care shit done, salute to you, bro. You know, it's crazy. During his speech, he even said universal healthcare. And I'm like, he wasn't saying that before, but the fact that he said it during his speech, I was very surprised by that. If he pulls that off in New York City, I'm going to be a legend, but I listen, I love New York City. My career is in New York City. I became who I am because of New York City. I hope Doran does it all. I hope that he makes it the utopia that he says it's going to be. That said, good luck. It's a beast, right? Because it's a beast because he for whatever reason he chose to go ahead up with Trump immediately. And all I kept thinking to myself was did Andrew tell him when he was on flagrant, that if you're a mayor in New York City, you're like the second incumbent to the president. Like you're the second most important president. I'm like, why would he do that? Go after authoritarianism, go after, you know, uh, fascism, say we keeping that out of New York, but he kind of just drew a line in the sand like what did he say? Listen to it. He just told him to turn a volume up so you can hear the crowd. Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you. Turn the volume up. New York will remain in a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants. And as of tonight led by an immigrants. So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us. That was crazy. That was a little bit crazy. No, nothing to announce right now, man. Just getting back on stage feels good to be back on stage and very excited, very excited about what's to come. Um, my church announcements, uh, two chains book. Go pre-ordered at right now. Uh, the voice in my head is God. That will be available March 30 2006 on black privilege publishing. Also, go pre-order, uh, our senior Halls book, our senior, that will be out next year as well. And go pre-order, uh, just hilarious. Tell of death to be parent. I thought I had a copy with me, but I don't until death to be parent will be out next year via black privilege publishing as well. That's going to be a very interesting book because it is just talking about how her and her baby daddy, Rome, uh, have, uh, got to an agreement on how to co-parent. And you know, she had a baby when they were young. So it's a very, uh, humorous tale, but you'll learn a lot. Now let's get back to this show. Uh, Jake Paul and Jervante Davis canceled. So what happened? Jervante put hands on his wife. Man, you know what I heard. I heard that, uh, Jervante Davis was being very difficult to work with in Netflix. We're just waiting for a reason. You know, uh, you saw with Jake Paul tweeted, Jake Paul said, Jervante Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare and unprofessionalism. The bizarre requests, the showing up hours late, the shoots, the numerous arrests and related accusations and lawsuits. If you support this man, you support the most vile sin, a man can commit. Um, what else to say? I didn't want to give this woman abuse or a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account, my company champion's women. I'm so sorry to everyone involved mostly to the undercarved fighters to my team and MVP. And to my team who works so hard for this fight, sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again. It's scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture and sports, including in positions of power. I hope you people moving forward, look beyond his fake streetwear pieces swag and search for something deeper to be a fan of. Ask for me as on to the next one. As always, anyone, anytime, any place. I mean, here's the thing. I think that, you know, I don't, I don't know if it's true what they said. I just know that they were saying he was showing up late, the promo shoots and he was, you know, just being a devil, just being a difficult person to work with. And the thing I always tell anybody, I don't care what age you are, whenever you're working with somebody, when you, when you're on a set, you know, when you're on a corporation, whatever it is, the thing that will keep money in your pocket and always keep you working is when those individuals say that person is a pleasure to work with. When they say you're a pleasure to work with, I promise you, you will always get phone calls. That's why I walk in the room. It's just my nature anyway, because you know, just the way my anxiety set up, I need to know who's who. I speak to everybody. I look at everybody's eyes. I, you know, I'm really observing to make sure I don't see anything bulging in any places where there might be pistols or anything else, but I'm saying hi to everyone. I speak to everybody in the room. I speak to everybody when I leave. I'm polite because I used to sell crack and work at Taco Bell. And I understand how much of a blessing it is to be in these positions. There is no way that I'm going to be, you know, getting tens of millions of dollars like Dervante Davis is and be acting like a diva. And I'm not saying he was. I'm just saying if the rumors are true, you know what I mean? If the rumors are true because that's what I was told. And you know, I heard they were just looking for a reason, the part ways. So, I mean, that's a good reason. I think he has a good point too. It's just like, you know, he built his platform, a lot, or Jake on, on female fighters. Absolutely. So maybe he should support Dervante because he supports the beating of women. Yeah, but not by other genders. Oh, oh, I got it, I got it. And also to maybe take isn't used to. Nobody has paid people more money to beat women than Jake Paul. That's a fact. No, that's not true. The women did he throw up? Did he, what are we talking about? What are we talking about? You can add up the beat. They got beat. Yes, but you just said he's paying the beater. Oh shit, you're right. God damn it. We thought our brains today. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. So in a lot of ways, maybe the NFL. Say again? The NFL, maybe. You don't think the NFL, maybe? No, you're right about that. The NFL pays a lot of-- The only, the only corporation company that has paid people to beat women more. Yeah, that felt. Now, because there's a lot of women that have probably put up with this because they're with these guys that are making all this money. And they're like, if you didn't have all this money, you know how some people are? They tell them, maybe it's okay, they carry you. With Jake, that's essential. That's the thing. It's Jake, it's consensual. Two consensual parties, two women. Say that word. No, I'm saying it's consensual. I'm saying these two women-- No, they paid women to beat on each other. Exactly. God you got you. Also, do you like seeing a woman get beat? Imagine two women being on each other. That must be double. That's like-- I love women in porn. I love women boxing. Also, I was thinking too. Maybe Tank isn't used to being the B side of a fight. The B side. So everybody's working around his schedule and now-- Yeah, when you're the A side, you get to dictate things, you pick what you want, blah, blah, blah. Maybe he's not used to being the B side. And he's still trying to act like the A side. Netflix don't give a fuck. MVP promotions don't give a fuck. Yeah, that's a great thing. That could be it too. That would've been a big fight. I think a lot of us would watch that. Oh, of course we would've watched. Of course we would've watched. 50 Cent trolling the shit out of Diddy, bro. Like 50 Cent said, he looked-- there's a picture of Diddy on the yard with a bunch of guys. And he said, he looked happy to me with all him handsome men around. Good morning, New York City. Damn. This is-- Damn. 50 Diabolical, bro. I mean, listen, man. You can't be mad at fifth. 'Cause we don't know the dynamics to 50 in Diddy's issues. Oh. Now, I think I do because I've been told things, but I'm not going to ever share that publicly. But if you kind of knew that it might feel just a-- It would fit at-- No, not might. It would. It would, man. It's like when people used to be like, yo, and it's not to this extreme. But when people used to be like, man, why he don't just let up off job rolling? Like, they tried to kill him twice, guys. Yes, so if you try to kill me twice, then that's going to be hell for you forever. And even if you didn't try to kill me twice, you know, we know about the stabbing of the hit factory. Even if the other one didn't have anything to do to you, it was-- I believe it was affiliated with you. I believe it was people close to you. So I'm going to carry it like it was. So forever, I understand it. Now, the people I don't understand 50 has is what Zoran would do. That's his latest foil. I don't know why he has the issue with Zoran that he does. You know what? I think it's we know why. The money. It's just the money. But I don't even live in New York anymore. I know. So I don't know why. Maybe he's just looking out for the city. I think 50 just likes chaos. Yeah. And as a cancer, I understand. Zoran came out to a job rule song for his victory song. Oh, he's fucking up. He did? That's probably why. What I want 50 to do-- Why come out to a job rule song? It's the other people. There are other people 50 beef with the guy-- But they say he played many men at his victory party, too. Yeah, what I want 50 to do is learn the joy of fucking what people behind the scenes. I read the 48 Laws of Power and 50 of Law. I know 50's read the 48 Laws of Power. 48 Laws of Power says, always keep your hands clean. I too used to like to get my hands dirty. But it's nothing like being the Wizard of Oz. By the way, I only say that to fucking people. I just say that for the YouTube videos. You know, I love the conspiracy. You leave me alone. How many things you got cooking right now behind the scenes? Behind the scenes? People with nobody. Really nobody. Truly nobody. Well, nobody. Nobody in entertainment. Politics. Oh, you get it. OK. Shout out to Bod magazine, too, man. Bod magazine did a great article on me and my good sister, Dolly Bishop, man. We are on the cover. Yeah, we're on the cover of this month's vibe. It says Dolly S. Bishop, "Shall I main the God, the Black Effect podcast network shines, celebrating five years of creative excellence." So they did a great profile on us and the Black Effect podcast network. We've been in business for five years, man. And contrary to YouTube's popular belief, we are doing fantastic. OK. What else we got? Chrissy. Christmas row. What we got? What we got? Down, keep going. Down. What's the sexiest man alive? You somebody tell me Jimmy Fallon got sexiest man alive? Is that true? Come on, my honest. Who got sexiest man alive, yo? I'm his teller, man. Teller, we miss you. Tell the gang. OK. I have no idea who Jonathan Bailey is. Who is Jonathan Bailey? I don't know, well, I don't know. Move on. Next. OK. He's an actor. People in the magazine need to act in Jonathan Bailey's this year's sexiest man alive. Bailey is known for his roles in wiki ring rats. Congrats. Congrats, man. I think all those movies and have not seen this man ever in my life. Congrats, bro. You got it. Yeah. He looked too regular white. You got it. Like there's a distinct-- like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, there's a different distinct whiteness about them. He don't have that. I agree, though, but yeah, I mean, I wouldn't hit. You wouldn't hit? I don't think I'd hit. Would you clap it? No, no, no, no, I don't like white meat. You don't like white meat? No, no, no. What happened? [LAUGHS] Dye change. Dye change. Dye change. Well, that happens. You got that sugar, right? Look at that sugar patch, huh? [LAUGHS] Table of pork, table of white meat. You know I'm saying, gave it all my doom, man. You looking good, those skin looking good. Thank you, man. Let's dress. Let's see. Yeah, you guys dress, man. That pink is different, though. That pink is different, man. You're expecting people from other podcasts. Relax, bro. Relax, bro. Relax. Relax, bro. You're going to make people from other podcasts. Relaf, bro. Oh, no, no. I don't want that, dude, because you know it's hard for them to control their diet, you know? [LAUGHS] The things you consume are difficult, man. That's difficult, man, you know. What do you think of me? Man, he's in some dire financial situation for sure, bro. That's-- how much you think it costs him to do that? Why don't-- I don't know. I'm not mad at him for doing it. I just-- what is this, first of all? Like, what was this of it? I don't know, man. What's the check? You think he got paid for that? I don't think he got paid for it. Yeah, he had to get paid for that. You think so? Yes. Really? Come on, man. Making him dress like a fucking superhero. Nah, he looked-- [LAUGHS] I said, I'm not mad at him for doing it, you know? I just-- I don't like the conspiracy theories. In February, the IRS put a lien on Floyd Mayweather over taxes, not paid since 2015. He was caught lying about owning man hadn't real estate by business insider. He's doing exhibitions that can't draw a crowd for a fraction of his heyday paychecks. He's being used for a check by the-- I'm not saying that. Come on, guy. Yeah, that's what-- that's what I'm saying. It's ridiculous, bro. Like, that is 10 folio pusheisty mass, yo. Like, 10 folio pusheisty mass. I don't have a problem with him doing what he's doing. And I think this is what happens when people don't make the distinction between Israel and the Israeli government. But your beef is with the Israeli government. That's who you're mad at, not all of Israel in every Israeli, right? - Yeah. - I would think. - Well, yeah, I mean, I don't think that we wanna take responsibility for the things our government does that we don't like. - You know? - No, I think we make a, I think we do a really good job of drawing a line in the sand. I think it's a ridiculous argument because you're still responsible for the things that your government is doing. That's still your president at the end of the day. - Right, right. - Right, regardless. And we're allowed to criticize our president. - Yeah. - Right? - And we're allowed to demand that our president make changes, but I think that where people, there's too much, I don't think it justifies hating a group of people, I mean, I hate that. - Oh, I'm with you 100%. But I think that there's a lot of it. It's like, because people don't push back on the BB of it all. - Well, I think there's a few things going on. It's like, people don't push back, they'll BB it all. I think that, I think there should be a separation between the people and the government to make decisions and then just people who believe in a religion that's been around here for 3,000 years. I think those are separate 100%. But I also think that there's been going on where it's just like not being able to have that discussion without people labeling you some way. Like if you're critical of what a government's doing and somebody labels you an anti-Sem, it makes a lot of people just get quiet, right? They go, okay, well, I don't wanna say anything. And when they're quiet, you basically see the conversation to the most wild fringes. And then the wild fringes are the ones that dictate the conversation. So what we actually should do is have more conversations and have more dialogue without throwing around people being anti-Semites or people being Jew haters and just addressing the ideas that are there and debating those ideas. And then you don't lose it to the fringe and the extreme. So there's a lot of different things that are going on here. But yeah, it's a horrible to see all the anti-Semites. And people think I'm doing this, so I get it. Like I can actually speak to it being real. There's a lot of people who are like, nobody's assuming you're Jewish, so you're not getting it. People think I am, so I get it. So I can tell you for a fact, it is just like people are just hateful of people. Simply because they think they're Jewish, not knowing a single thing about that. Chris, what did I tell you a couple years ago? What's that? I said, yeah, I didn't know they hated John Edwards. Oh yeah. I literally said that to them. And now it looks like it's almost open season because they feel justified by what Israel's doing. And that's where you need to be able to cross. That's where you got to draw the line. That's where you draw the line. They feel justified, they're hate. Like that doesn't justify your hate. By the way, at all. I tell everybody, go back to before I told the seventh, Israelis didn't like Bibi Netanyahu. Israeli. They wanted it back. They wanted it back. Oh yeah, exactly. Israeli put it in the screen protesting against Bibi Netanyahu. Israelis were protesting to be like that. They were protesting during the war too. That's my point. So that's why the whole, you know, I don't like when they label people like the Mondani's and they're not anti-Israel. They're anti-Bibi. But maybe the Mondani's in the world got to do a better job of being distinct about what they're against. Okay, so they're like, we can go back into things that like Mondani has said did are probably terrifying to Jews. Like globalized into Fada. Like that's a thing that's terrifying to us. You roll your eyes at that because you're from fucking Taiwan. Called Dove and Here Right Now. I'll just call Dove and Here Right Now and get Dove to talk and Dove and have tears in his eyes. Exactly. So it's like, that's a thing that does scared Jews. Okay. Like whether you like-- But I also, I won't name the person, but I also saw a fairly prominent Jewish radio personality calling Mondani a terrorist this one. Yeah, that's horrible too. Too much. What? Who? Does it look, look, look. If you want to say, you just want to-- Oh, it's for me. I don't know who did that. Not even that big deal. That's what I don't want to do. But the point is this. The point is this. Is that like that's terrifying? Also just calling him a fucking terrorist that's also terrifying. Like you shouldn't be doing these things, right? These things shouldn't happen. It's all going on in the back. Exactly. But it also, it's like disgusting rhetoric. Like we should be able-- these people are-- if they are politicians, like they should be able to discuss ideas without the immediate label being thrown out. Like, oh, you hate all these people. It's lazy. Maybe exactly, it's lazy. It's like, maybe there is merit to what they're saying. And maybe you should consume it and then debate it. And maybe you have points that will rebuke what that person's saying. And then they might change how they feel. But simply just labeling somebody hateful is going to make everybody else leave the conversation. Now you lose the conversation to the fringes. They control the discourse. And then what they're saying is all of a sudden normalized. And we need to do that. It like, it never works. Remember during fucking me too. It's the same exact thing. During me too. We're out here going, hold on, just like people at work and a boss says, like, you have a nice weekend? There wasn't that. But like something insane. And we were going, well, that's a little bit crazy. Whereas seasons are going on a date. And like, yeah, you know what I mean? Like watching fucking Seinfeld, not fricking a girl glass of wine. And she's like, I was me too. And then people going, that seems a little far. And it's like, oh, you're enabling this toxic behavior. It's like, okay, well now what you're going to do is lose the conversation to the most extreme people. And then you have the Red Pill community dictating what the conversation was for about men and women and their relationships. Like you have to be able to have these conversations with that immediately labeling people or else it just gets so, how do we not learn this lesson every single fucking time? - Listen. - Black Lives Matter was the same thing. We could have had this conversation, right? We could have talked about it. We could have, all right, maybe we shouldn't be destroying stores and maybe we shouldn't be ripping these things off. And then what happens? We find out it was just a real state scam. And now, you know, it's going to be very difficult to support something like that in the future. We could have had that discussion. Let's pay some bills. - People are too tamped. - I'm not having this conversation. - Let's pay some bills. - But you get what I'm saying, right? - Yes. - Let's have the conversation instead of immediately labeling people hateful. - I agree. And I don't think that red brick works no more. They did this shit to Mondani, the whole campaign. That shit did not work. They did this shit to Trump, the whole campaign. At the end of the day, people were tuning all of that shit out. And they're like, this motherfucker speaking to my issues. He's speaking to my interest. He's a good man to the fan. - Yeah. - Now they're doing it to Tucker. - Tucker who? - Tucker this dick in your mouth. Tuck that in. Tuck this dick real quick in your mouth. (laughs) - Put it to bed. Put it to bed. - You know why that was fucked up? Because you wasn't even trying to-- - He wasn't trying to. - I'm gonna take advantage of it. - But you know, it was so fucked up. When he said, "Tucker, my mind went to trance." I don't know why I took it. - I literally thought about talking to a dick. I don't think about Carlson. How are you not the most famous Tucker? (laughs) How is Tucker Carlson not the most famous Tucker? Why do my mind go to people that talk they dick? - That's your mind. - Rupal. - Let's face it, Bill. - Yo, wait a minute, we're not talking about Tucker? - Well, what's the infighting? I know there's some sort of-- - Now Tucker had Nick Fuentez on. And Ben Shapiro is trying to cancel him. - Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't ask him about that when you saw him yesterday. - Yeah. - Oh, they did, I left. Only did I. Yeah, the second I was leaving and I was getting my stuff out the room. I saw Harry, not Harry. Henry, Henry, right? Henry. - Don't. - What's going on? - We're seeing that name that do the data. He's doing the bullet. - Anton, Harry. - Harry, Anton, I'm sorry. So Harry was asking him about that. Harry had all the Tylenol in utero. That thing he had all the Tylenol in utero. - What? - They say Tylenol causes autism, man. - No, you think Harry got autism? - Harry got autism with a capital, all the letters. - That was so funny about this, man. - Yeah. - I know, Harry. I know, Harry. - That was so funny about that. - Harry knows the score of every baseball game for the last 50 years. - He's Ray, man. I didn't say this yesterday, but I was sitting there. And nobody told us the show was starting, bro. So I'm sitting there and the shit starts counting down and the intro comes on. And I'm like, "Yo, the show is starting?" - Yeah. - Yo, Harry just starts talking. Like, he just comes in hot. No, welcome to whatever, whatever. Like, he just started talking. Like, we've been sitting there for a long time. Like, we just knew what the fuck was going on. He didn't introduce nobody, we just got to it. - He got it. - And I was like, you know, he's really, really focused. Well, he's laser focused, but now that you say that. - Now you got it. - He had extra strength. He was on that extra strength. - Now that you say that. - He was crushing the extra strength. - I love Harry. Harry's a great guy. - No, Harry's a good dude. - I ever forgot a score of a baseball game from the 50s. He got that shit. - Harry has that mad money energy. What's that dude named? - That's a pretty crammer. - Harry and Jim Kramer. - It's like the same type of thing. - He also got that accent from like the 50s. - You got that accent? - You know like that like. - Yeah, we gotta find it. - Yeah, like yeah, 'cause it's exactly exactly. - Oh, this just did. - This just did. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Just there. - The bullings. - Breaking news. - Breaking news. Shout out Harry and Tidman. - Bullings are just reporting. - The boy, the boy. - No, absolutely Harry and you do a good job. - Love you, Harry. - You do a good job. Last night was fun, man. We was on there with who's on the adventure payroll. And I always was Anna's last name from Young Turks. I know it starts with a K. - Kesperian. - Man, I love Anna Kesperian. - She don't give a fuck. - Anna is the truth. - You don't give a fuck. - How did her and Ben get along? - I mean Anna, Anna puts his back like in a good way. Like she just, it's not even a conflict way. It's like no, I disagree with you there, blah, blah, blah. What's your needs again? Give Bunksy, give Bunksy, give Bunksy, give Bunk last night, though. Tesla figure always on there as well. And the reason I like CNN, and I gotta give Abby all the credit for this, just stuff like this CNN election live cast, wouldn't happen without Abby Phillips, because Abby Phillips gives a platform to people like Anna, Abby gives a platform to people like Tesla. They probably would have had been on there anyway, 'cause Ben's platform is huge, you know what I'm saying? Young Turks is big too, right? Tesla is building her platform as well. Young Turks hosted by. Tank, tank, tank, tank. Yo, do you love, do you love, tank? Do you love, tank? Tank. Yes I do. It's my turn. Tank is like, you're a tank lover. (all laughing) Margaret. Margaret, that's fine. That's not bad. Leave it. That's not bad. That, why is that bad? That's his name. That is his name. That is his name. I'm not pronouncing it wrong. You lost, tank. Oh, you're on your own forever, bro. Good. They're asking, how do I pronounce my name? I want to put this to bed once and for all, and it's really hard, and if you get it wrong, I don't blame you. So the first name is Jank. It's spelled C-E-N-K. The C in Turkish is pronounced like a J, like Jank. Like short for Jenkins, okay? Jank. We should shout out to Ant-Man. Is that on the pod? Yeah. You should have Ant on the pod, Ant is dope. She's dope, sleuth of Ant. I wanted to have her on the first club this week too, man. She's dropping up with Ant-Man. Let's do some asking it, it's Chris. Let's do it. Oh, why? I don't even know how to pronounce this shit. Dom Tarot, dad 88 said, "Why is male masturbation nasty?" But for women, it's sexy. Who said it's nasty? No, it's not. Male masturbation is nasty. I caught a nocturnal emission last night. Oh, you nutted it in your dream? No, you was getting fucked by a poltergeist, bro. Poltergeist gave you some putsaid. No head. Poltergeist gave you some hair. No, I remember, exactly what it was. And the head was crazy. Crazy. It was crazy. You remember what the ghosts look like? Yeah. Who was it? My wife. (laughs) Come on, bro. I know it's one of the time, y'all can spell it. Cut it out. So what the ghosts, bro? What the fuck, y'all? It was my wife. I love it. Oh, it was a dream. Yeah, and it was my wife in the dream, bro. Who sucks you off in the dream, bro? It was my wife, I love, bro. You know what? It was a Muslim, wasn't it? That's why you know what I admit it. You would just sleep thinking about it, Monday night. (singing in a foreign language) (singing in a foreign language) (laughing) (singing in a foreign language) Can you say he exploded, bro? (singing in a foreign language) That just got put in sacks. (laughing) You know what I mean? I had to give her some of the meat. They call it the "Ala Snatchball." (laughing) A ghost ain't fuck me in a minute, bro. No, man, I used to get fucked by ghosts back in the day. But what do you mean? Fuck, it's one of my- I ain't getting fucked. You didn't say shit you had. You dreaming of you just wake up like, oh shit. Now that you get in some pussy, you weren't getting fucked. Like a ghost will fuck you? No, bro. You was in your sleep, what'd you call it? (laughing) What did you call it, man? A nocturnal admission. Yes, that's when a ghost is fucking you. But I was getting- I was getting in head. Boy, it was deep. Google nocturnal admission. Maybe I think of this. That just means you're coming. You came in here. Yeah, you have a wet dream. I wasn't getting fucked. I was getting in head. Now you don't know. I support the guys giving you some pussy, bro. That's what you think. It was just a fucking nocturnal admission. It was head and it was fire. It's not cheating if it's a ghost, bro. She was loving it, dude. The ghost? Yeah. I felt bad that I woke up on her. Really? 'Cause she was loving it. Damn. No, I felt guilty. I was like, y'all about to wake up shorty. She was like, boom, boom, boom. Damn. Shout to that ghost. Shout out to the ghost out there. Go keeping us fucking straight. What do your ghosts sound like? Do they say, "Woo." You see this one? The term nocturnal admission. It'd be connected to supernatural beliefs, like the idea that the accidental admission of semen by Adam during a bunch of created demons and ghosts, bro. Shout out to Adam, man. Yes. You had a ghost game you had last night, bro. Bob. Bob. That's five of them. Bob. Ghost kept you from fucking you. That's not cheating if it's a ghost, bro. It isn't. I agree with you. It's not cheating if it's a ghost. You ever had a ghost? Bob, you have a ghost. Get up and change your underwear. You sleep through it. You've got to change, bro. Yeah, of course. You got to change. Of course you can do it. I've never had a white dream. You've never had a white dream, bro. Man, you're crazy for that one. Never ever. Never ever. Like, always wake up before you have it. Really? Oh, so you're having a sex with a girl in the dream and then you wake up. I mean, the ghosts don't find you sexy. Yeah, the ghosts don't want you to nut. Ghost, like, I'm moving on. Yeah. His gay ass. It's not six o'clock yet. Let me get to somebody else before it fucking turns the day like. Do you think that she ran through to someone else after me? Nah, nah. She got what she wanted, bro. And not what she wanted. She got what she wanted. Well, fat. Well, fat. You know, you can't even spell ghosts without a hoe. That's the fact. You can't even spell it without a hoe. That's the fact. G-H-O-S-T. Not a hoe you just got a G-S-T, that's a cop. That is a cop. No underscore profit. No underscore four, three, two, five, six. That is this. Certain age and maturity level that men get to, that they just don't cheat anymore. Yes. Some men born cheaters and always going to be cheaters are cheating adjacent. I don't think it's about maturity level or age. I think it's about you know, you understanding what's important. Also, you're weight, you, you, you, you know, you know, you know, yeah, the fat fucks cheat, bro. Them fat fucks. Not a fat fucks cheat, yo. It's something people would have been cheating, fat fucks. Them fat fucks. Yeah, they cheat. Yeah, bro. Them fat fucks, we don't cheat. But fat fucks. Yeah. That's exactly the cheat that was getting them every single time. We don't, I don't think they fit. But to your point, it was something we was talking about earlier and I feel the same way. It's like a certain level of, you know, peace that you have when you ain't living like that. I know. Actually, I was talking to you earlier. No, I'm blind. It's a certain level of peace that you have when you ain't living foul. Imagine not living foul, but sometimes people who live foul, they got to make up for it by like seeming more pure. No. No, no, no. And your wife would tell you that like, yeah, you're going to have to explain to your daughters, you know, why are we getting the divorce? Holy shit. I got time for that, man. Nobody got time for that. I got time for that, yo. Cool dash, spinach, dash, 1780. If you could live somebody else's life for one day, I would have to explain to you that you're going to have to explain to your daughters, you know, why are we getting the divorce? Holy shit. If you could live somebody else's life for one day, whose life would it be and why? PSY, not Chris's. What the fuck? It's got a fire life. Wake up in the morning, pretend he got limes. Oh, it's great. Get all that sympathy. Chris is scared of scooters, bro. No, it doesn't. Yo, scooter brawn was in here. I walked in, scooter brawn was out there. We all laughed at Chris was in the other room. Chris was in the office. Chris was like, I don't even want to be around. He's the best. He's the best. He's out on that ship. I know that's fine. Yeah, he's the best. He's the best. That was, yeah. You know who the fuck that was. Why not? Chris was a boy. That ass scooter was really here. Shome is not making it up for joke. He was really here and he sat on that ship for two hours of the podcast. He was waiting for the right time to let that ship go. You're really depressed. Chris literally sat here. But am I lying? He came in, saw him, and then got the fuck out of here. I didn't even put it together. I didn't even interact with you all the time. Wow. He'd been fucking in. Wow. When I walked in, I said, well, that's, oh, scooter. I saw Chris jump from my truck. I'm like, yo, what the fuck is going? No, bro. You're the best. That was crazy. You're the best. That was crazy. I wouldn't want to live nobody else's life. Yeah. Yeah. My life has been amazing, bro. Like, I don't want to live anybody else's life. I don't want to live anybody else's existence. I love my journey and the journey that I'm still on. It is amazing. Yeah. Shout out. I'm saying, I don't want to. Because you don't know what other people really got going on. It's so hard. It's a hard question I ask once you have children. That's right. Because you can't imagine living with not them. That's right. That seems like such a punishment. And then what if you go live somebody else's life for one day and you don't know that they get on the low. And now you're just getting your whole blown out. You know, or somebody keeps trying to hit on you. And you're like, yo, what the fuck? I'm not gay. You know. Since when? Boom. You was gay this morning. Yes. Talk to me. Like that? You could be kind of crazy, yo. Yeah. Let's do one more knowledgeing. Who wants to know, was it your father or your mother that taught you your values? Oh, my dad. Sure. Just your dad? Yeah. Mine was both. Yeah. Mine. That's my dad. Damn. Yeah. I mean, what values? My mom worked her ass off as she provides. And that kind of shit. But like in terms of like humanity, I thought you made values in terms of like humanity, like how you treat people, kindness, respect, honor. You make it happen to your mom? No. - He was just watching, how's your mama's the sweetest, bro? - Nah, my dad, bro, my dad. That's all 100% of my dad's. - Who ate people? - 100% of my dad. - My dad would instill it, and then my mom would chip away at that. (laughing) - I love him. - You just permit Mr. Massage. - Nice to meet you, Mr. Massage. - I mean, when you are massaging this thing to your mother, that's like-- - I got her from Mama. - I get it from Mama. - I can't even be mad at you. - Get it from Mama, bro. - My dad is the most loving, bro. - I get it from my mama, man. - Take that out on her. - All right, one more, man. - It's got one more, man. - Shout out my mom, bro, you did something. - Oh, it's something, man. - He knows something good, this is good. These last two are good, though. Where's my super suit? If Andrew and Chris switch bodies, freaky Friday style, who would be the first person each of you call to try and talk to? - What? - What? - Oh, if we switch bodies, freaky Friday style, who would be the first person that each of us call to try and talk to? - Shit. - Shit, you know what I'm talking to. - You finally gonna call the Chinese restaurant enough to play with this? - I don't know, I'm gonna break to the salt. - I'm gonna try to understand you, please. - Yeah. - Now I can finally understand. - More now. - More now. - I think you're really confusing a lot of the viewers out here with the listeners. - Yeah. - No, Chris, you're Asian. - You're Jewish Asian. - Yeah. - One more is the last one. - Yeah. - What did I call them? - Egg Jew Young. - What? (laughing) Egg Jew Young is hilarious. That might be the name of a podcast. (laughing) - Egg Jew Young. Turtle 08 says, "respectfully, you are both leaders in your individual fields. Did you have to grow into that leadership role or is it natural for you?" Shops. Um, I don't know, I don't know, I never really think about it in that way. I never really think about it in that way to be honest about it. I think naturally there's growth with anything, but I never thought about it in that way. I was always just like, what can I do to continue to make the comedy that I want to make and put it out successfully? - Yeah. - And then I was fortunate enough that it was successful and I think other people gravitated to the thing that they saw that was successful. But I never was like, it's my role as the leader to change these things. It was just like, how can I do comedy the exact way I want to do it? - Yeah, I would be honest with you. I don't look at myself as a leader. - Yeah. - Like, I don't feel like I'm in a leadership role. I feel like I am a servant. I'm here to serve the needs of our listeners, our viewers. And I feel that I am a great team player. I think that you know one of my skills, if I had to say what some of my skills are, are finding the right people to be in those leadership, because you can have a vision, right? You can have a vision for something like Black Effect, but be like, who couldn't run this day to day and make it successful? - That should is so hard. - Oh, Dolly Bishop. - Hiring the right people, hiring talent, like that should is so hard. - Hiring the right people, everything else is falling in place. When I had my TV show, you know, my good sister Rachel Edwards, she was the our showrunner. And you know, everybody always complimented our staff, they always complimented the team. There were only two people on that team. I picked it was Rachel and Bianca, because I knew that Bianca and Rachel would fill in everything else. They would fill in the blanks. - I mean, if you, if you hire right, they will do that. - Yes. - That is the truth. And that's exactly what Rachel and, you know, Bianca did, and that is the reason that we had, you know, that staff that we had, you know, salute to Bianca, be Bianca, be Bianca. - Brood net. - Shout out big Bianca. - Brood net, white. - Oh my gosh. - Can you watch her? - Bianca brood net white. - Brood net white. - Oh god. - Oh yeah, man. - That's it. I don't, I gotta say, that's it. Thank you for joining us this week. As always, listen to this podcast. You think we're smart. You think we're intelligent. You think we're brilliant.
