We just started Play the John Morgan shit Salute the John Morgan shit Salute the John Morgan, man I had the pleasure of interviewing John Morgan A couple of months ago I read his book from What's it called? Shout out to Morgan & Morgan, man Yeah, Morgan & Morgan It's not hard work It's luck Yeah, life is luck From a paperboy And how to improve your luck John Morgan said We're going to put a camera on your computer We're going to put a camera up your ass Okay, the first week 23 people quit It's not that they don't want to work from home They don't want to fucking work So he's talking about People that wanted to work from home Can we press play? Mm-hmm Okay, let me read the headline first What's the headline? The headline is We're going to John Morgan Billionaire John Morgan reveals 23 employees quit the first week He put cameras on Work from home computers Okay Come back to the office was just like I mean, nobody wanted to come back to the office So I said, you know what? So these people didn't want to come back to the office Here's what we're going to do You can work from home But guess what? We're going to put a camera on your computer We're going to put a camera up your ass They won't look at you It'll be a pixel The first getting people to come back to the office Was just like weak 23 people quit Oh my gosh It's not that they don't want to work from home They don't want to work Mm-hmm And the people who want to work from home now We're like, well, here's how it works If you qualify We're going to have a camera on you We're going to be monitoring you Closer than we would And we've got We measure keystrokes We have this productivity score That's incredible And look, what's going on Is a lot of people just don't want to work It's weak What did he say wrong? People giving him backlash for this I'm like, what's the problem? There's backlash? I have a counter to it Okay If his policy is We're going to monitor you while you work from home To make sure you're working To make sure you're working fine But I think the problem with a lot of employers now is They want to know that people are working during 9 to 5 But they also don't draw the line at 9 to 5, right? Like, everyone's working from home Everyone in this room, there's no idea of like the work day ends at a certain place yeah right like i get texted 11 o'clock 12 o'clock at night one o'clock in the morning you know maybe i answer those a little slower yeah but we're all plugged in 24 7 right now so you can't have it both ways would be my argument like if you're saying i'll come into work nine to five but at five i'm not answering i got a camera on you right if you email me you're penalized you're penalized yes and i don't think the employers are willing to do that i think they want to have it both ways i think they want to say we want to know you're working during this work day but we're also going to send you emails we're going to have calls you're constantly a lot of it depends on the type of job right like there are still certain jobs that have very defined you know you're working as a receptionist in an office or you know yeah you're going home when they say go home but for a lot of people you're plugged in now and i think if you're plugged in 24 7 you should have flexibility in terms of when you work and where you work chris you're not wrong but i can't assume that's what he meant i can only assume that he meant during office hours we're going to have a camera on you to make sure that you're working let's keep it real a paralegal sewer let's keep it real though yeah how many friends of ours do we have that like once they were working for home they were working two hours okay now what i think that the people what i think that the john morgan's and them probably realized when people started working from home is that they were only working two hours a day at the office too it's not like they were working eight hours a day at the office they were still doing two hours worth of work but you're spreading that shit over eight hours at home you could knock it out in two hours and then enjoy your day but if i have to be at the office for eight hours the fuck am i rushing through this shit i do i do think you're more productive in the office way more productive i personally think so now there's people that have you know severe anxiety who've been waiting to stay in the house right so they might be more productive at home most people i feel like are more productive in the office i'm not i'm not i like being at home but i'm not more productive not even close you guys no no i think it depends on my job i don't get shit done at home i got my kids and i want to hang out with them right simple as that i gotta remove my like when i gotta do work at home i have to put myself in a room and my kids need to like not know i'm there because the second my daughter knocks on the door i'm stopping whatever the fuck i'm doing my daughter yeah or i'll have to leave the house or whatever and then go somewhere else to do work because i just know me so imagine you're a parent and you don't have somebody that's there looking after the kids because you're not looking after the kids you're not looking after the kids you're not kind of pseudo watching your kids as you're working there's that's you there's no way yeah you haven't showed up shut up no i've been saying like i'm not yeah so yeah it's and it's also the preparation right like if if i get up and take a shower and put clothes on and get ready for the day and leave the house i'm up ready to do something if i just roll out of bed you know maybe brush my teeth put a t-shirt on and i'm sitting at the computer all day am i really getting ready to do something i'm not ready to do something i'm not ready to do something i'm not ready for the day am i really giving my all to this job john morgan if he's paying you he just wants you to give your all to your job i also don't blame any like business owner who's like look if you're all here i know more or less that you can do this because here is so boring there's nothing else to do but work if you're not here i can't tell what you're doing and at the end of the day the owner is paying or the business owner is paying the people so you get to decide the terms in which they work if you're an employee you also get to decide the terms in you also get to go hey you email me after six i have my life after six so i might not get back to you and i understand the uh productivity on the keystrokes but you don't think a camera inside somebody's home is a little bit too amazing i don't like either one i was gonna say i don't like either one give me the amount of work you need done and the time in which you need it done and i'm gonna get it done and if i stop getting it done within that time then let's have a meeting but if i can get all that shit done in two hours and the job pays for the eight hours of time to do that then i'm productive and i'm gonna get it done and i'm gonna get it done and i'm gonna get it done and either give me more work and give me a raise or let me do what the fuck i want with my other six hours yeah and what's the difference between work like that like you said when people were in the office they were just stretching it out so now you're going to be penalizing because you're working from home and you could work faster from home so now you should get more work did uh no and then pay me more for the more work they're not going to pay you more you know how they get another job what's the difference between having a camera and being on zoom at work because you're not on zoom the whole time i was doing the whole time but you're not gonna be on camera the whole time that's what he's saying you are yes you yeah he's like you're pixelated you're actually doing so basically what it is is the camera's facing you you're pixelated so if you want to pick your nose or whatever it's not on camera if you're burping whatever the fuck it is but and we're not like looking at your kids or whatever in your house but we're aware that you're by your computer or not so that you can't have like a little you can't like take your keyboard somewhere else and just have a cat walk on it every once in a while to make it look like you're being productive so there's all these hacks to make sure people are working the tricky thing is like what happens when they start applying them shits to people working in the office now i mean yeah they do that now like they know when you at least at at iheart because of your key card they know when you clock in right i don't know if you're doing work but but so but if you're constantly late they know if you're constantly late right we're on we're being recorded 24 7 you do know that right like we're being recorded in the so i mean it's like what's the it's just you're under supervision while you're at work but they don't know what you're doing at your desk at your cubicle you could just be bullshitting the whole time you did you think that to unhr you know what i'm saying like you don't i don't know i just don't i don't see the problem with this what's the problem this feels invasive we're in the big brother era everything's being recorded and monitored all day long doesn't mean we need to accept it we already have have we okay what by not fighting back more you're saying i don't know how do you how do you fight back and we're in a surveillance state how do you fight back by pushing back where yeah yo stuff like this where they keep we're talking a little bit more we can we can mention something right now and this shit gonna pop up in our phones so you believe in stop and frisk i'm a street fighter instead as i'm talking about right now right okay what else we got is that our new button when we ask something street fighters in theaters october 14th um here's one for you uh alex oh it's not oh like you're already doing it so oh i know you got to remember this is a podcast what they're hearing us first i didn't put anything on oh press on nails for men are here as beauty brand talons design sets for wider flatter nail beds they bit but you wouldn't get no press on nails would you have get your shit painted like a real man because it's like the woman i go to she does art so i appreciate the art that she does i mean press on nails can be art you just wouldn't do press on nails yeah what's the difference if they're pressed on or painted on i mean they stay more you're putting i don't know for some reason it's just another level of gay but it's still gay are you which is more gay well he's doing his way are you going how it's a sticker versus somebody painting it on first what are you talking about how often do you go to the nail salon uh probably like once a month nah nah you'd be having once a month we cut it out like once a month maybe every three weeks probably alex cut it out you always have your nails done exactly i mean fly designs our nails usually look better than most women but that's because i take care of myself all right no but it wouldn't be jay johnson but it wouldn't be jay say he just said when i walk in the room but you're saying once a month that's not usually maybe like women go like at least like you got your nails matching your g-unit sneakers right now bro kind of fire that's crazy that wasn't intentional but it's kind of yes it was it wasn't man cut it out you got on blue like a crypt today like two weeks you got on a blue hat blue shirt blue nails and g-unit sneakers i mean that's not intentional what the fuck gay guys always want to make it seem effortless when they fucking put the put a nice fit together hey that's so crazy that's a nice fit yeah it's cool yeah it's cool you don't you don't think it's cool i'm not a fashion guy it look cool to me thank you even though you just called me gay but thank you i didn't call you gay yeah you did you do call him gay regularly no no no i said if he was to get press on nails that's just another level of gay i think that's a lower level i don't think that's gay really yeah why a woman paints my nails how is that it ain't about the woman man like so if a woman pegs you is that not yeah what is that what do you mean like whatever does that mean if you're doing you're doing this and then all right what you need is gel right not the limp wrist is in the blow of the nails how do you look at your nails hold on show me how you look at your nails you guys suck just tell me how you look at them there's no right way to do this show me how you look at this man yo i go like this you go like that get the fuck out of here nobody makes a fucking fist you go like that you limp your wrist and you look look how shiny his shit's it i gotta have extra gloss on it it's a but it's not no gloss it's just a buff that's no gloss you don't got no paint on it none whatsoever no you got paint you got that shiny bro stop oh this is different oh and i got a split nail so being that i got a no this was a split nail that's your white finger i'm dead ass serious your white finger why would you split your white the difference it got split when he split other things that's what i don't know that's your white finger i'm dead ass serious that's your white finger okay i don't do the i don't do the uh the polish though i just get a nice little buff how do you wipe with the long nails like have you ever had the long acrylics but have you ever had them yeah how do you wipe but we mean long like cardi b long no no that's crazy

maybe a little bit like a little bit longer i'm not never the longest yeah i never get long all right what else we got y'all what else we got taylor gang gang did y'all hear about this scamming ass niggas now first of all don't say that around shorts wait why because we you got to lay low till october 14th yeah but i can't even hear the word no no no you shouldn't even why would you do you shouldn't even acknowledge it you should act like you didn't even hear that so i can't even if i hear the n word it's racist it's very much racist hearing it hearing it yes what'd you do i'm in a movie and charlene's worried that i'm going to say something bad and controversial that's going to mess up the rollout you know okay but i don't know why you already called alex gay yep you did yeah but why is that bad it's a compliment you should have called him you should have said meat fighter yo what's my man's name what's his name dajon love dajon love fake 49ers player watch me flex my millions i don't know why people upset with dajon love you'll be honest legend i'm not gonna call him a legend why not this is who i blame i blame parents and i blame teachers all right first of all let's read the story let's for those who i don't know who doesn't know this story but what's the story tell he scammed he scammed women out of 1.3 million dollars by pretending to be a san francisco 49er football player yes well why do people not just look up the roster dajon love is a 35 year old man who was arrested by the fbi for allegedly orchestrating a 1.3 million romance scam he is accused of posing as a san francisco 49ers player to default 25 women fraud defraud 25 women you got it listen man blame his third grade teacher he's not the only one he blamed his teacher blame his third grade teacher why why because i'm sure his third grade teacher told him at some point you can be anything you want to be shut up i know that's what the fuck happened you told you tell these little kids they could be anything they want to be and then they grow up to be a san francisco 49er football player and you mad at the man shouldn't we blame blame these women exactly them too because they should have been able to google the motherfucking roster but not even google it's like by the way god's been doing shit like this well this is another one this is what i was talking this is what i was telling alex about is that like what he did was ask him for the money fucked up the game for so many guys and he was like i don't know what to do with it i don't know what to do with it i don't know what to do with it i don't know what to do with it i'm not gonna lie and say they're in the nfl word is born they look athletic did y'all hear the voicemail yeah okay yeah they look athletic i'm serious i've been i've seen shit like this my whole life yeah this was somebody pretending to be a ball player especially before the internet pretending to be a football player yeah i remember when people used to pretend to be the franchise boys or pretend to be like the party like a rock star dude seriously because nobody you didn't really know what they looked like bro when we were in ukraine they thought jamil was will i am you see what i'm saying shut up dead ass you see what i'm saying stopping in the street everything yes it was a different time also before the internet you couldn't google people so if you were just a big black dude in america you could say you're on a football team everybody wears a helmet anyway remember when you used to walk on well you know how many girls fuck emma smith and it wasn't exactly you know you ever walked on a plane back in the day you're sitting in first class and somebody asked what do you do and you say football player i used to say proctologist i bet you would i promise you i used to be like i'm a proctologist sitting there with a shotgun middle finger like split my nail today split my nail at work man this guy was tight object lodged in there cut my finger damn near an ass i used to get so offended like the fuck like a day you would always assume athlete or entertainer like no i'm a proctologist but my point is it was easier to do that back in the day 2026 nobody should be getting catfished on any level bro not because they want it man that there's there's something to that some people want to get catfished you want to fuck up you want to fuck a ball player if you're trying to get laid that weekend you're a girl you'd rather you know throw some pussy to a ball player yeah yeah you feel like less of a whore exactly i'm saying you fuck somebody who's actually doing something with their life but also too man um what'd you say you said that uh you said something before that he's fucking up the game it was the money taking the money is where you fucked up the game for everybody else people want to be catfished the women the women are crazy for this this is there's somewhere in there they want to get catfished they want oh pray on people's need to believe to create a cult-like following that's one of the 48 laws of power this guy was preying on people's need to believe because nobody everybody

with saying that because i was watching i went i was watching nine to five um after dolly pardon passed because nine to five is the greatest working class anthem ever right so i'm watching the movie you know the movie is literally satire about a tyrannical sexist boss the amount of time i'm watching the movie is literally satire about a tyrannical sexist boss the amount of time i'm watching the movie is literally satire about a tyrannical sexist boss the amount of time they show dolly pardon's breast in that movie yo crazy i mean her breasts were a part of her aesthetic in a real real way but she even said one time i hope y'all know that i got a brain under this hair and a heart under these breasts i think that's what it was although dolly is certainly an immeasurable talent the country singer-songwriter has come to believe that a great deal of the attention she's garnered over the years has come from her ample bosom the singer has always received just as much recognition for her looks as for her talent and dolly has played into that over the course of her career she said a funny thing where she was they were like do you get offended by the dumb blonde jokes and she's like no because i'm not a dumb blonde she goes i'm not dumb and i'm not blonde do you get tired of dumb blonde jokes no oh sorry because we know we're not dumb and we know we're not blonde that's a fact yeah dolly was man dolly was one of the last mono mono cultured celebrities yo why was she so beloved i think she was a little bit before my generation well i think Yeah, she was a superstar when superstar mattered. She was a superstar in the 70s and the 80s and then the 90s. Her dressing. And she was a beautiful woman. She had the heavies. And she gave a lot to the community. She did, huh? She gave a lot to the community. And she had slappers. Yeah. And she was in movies. 9 to 5 was a hit movie. That's Lily Tomlin. It's Jane Fonda. It's Dolly Parton. Those are the biggest stars of that era, bro. She was talented, too. She could play an instrument. She could sing. Like, she's not just a, you know, bimbo. And her music wasn't, like, I know she was a country artist, but the songs that crossed over was just good music. Jolene is just a good song. Oh, yeah. 9 to 5 is just a good song. I was in the street. Huh? I was in the street. I was in the street. It's a good song. I Will Always Love You. Just a good song. Like, those are just good records. She wrote In I Will Always Love You? Yes. That was her first. And that one? Oh, I did not know that. And Elvis wanted it. And she said no. She said no. And she said she cried for days because Elvis was the biggest star at the time, but he wanted 50% of the publicity. Is it true that you wouldn't let him record I Will Always Love You? I wouldn't let Colonel Tom Parker. See, because Elvis loved the song. In fact, I talked to Priscilla not very long ago. She said, you know, Elvis sang that song to me when we were walking down the courthouse steps when we got divorced. No. He was singing to me. He loved the song, wanted to do it. Had he worked up, they'd already called me to come down to the studio to meet him and to be part, to hear the song. And the night before, Colonel Tom Parker calls me and says, well, you know, we don't record anything with Elvis unless we have publishing on it, or at least half the publishing. Say, with the money. Well, I said, because I'd had a number one song on it, and I said, this is the most important copyright in my whole publishing company, and I can't do that. He said, well, then we can't do it. And I was heartbroken. I'm not going to lie. If Elvis had that song, that shit would have gone. i don't know over whitney i mean we don't know it was years later over dolly oh because i didn't even know it was dolly's song i thought it was no idea say nelson i thought had the biggest version of it willie nelson did i will always love you hold on i've never heard that one i just heard whitney i'm wrong i'm confusing yeah not bigger than whitney whitney she was huge and jolene jolene jolene listen jolene i was taught and and somebody asked me that the other day why did dolly transcend all races it's the music it's number one there's nothing more universal than music bro it's just and breasts no respectfully like you know what i'm saying and this and she made nine to five can i just say that you're making my point you're making my point invest in yourself man imagine you're making my point invest in yourself man imagine dolly took that breast augmentation cost right and put that in the s&p 500 versus putting it in her own body what the fuck are you talking about i'm talking about investing for women she put it into her own body she invested herself and the return on that crazy with her natural talent of course those are real say again those aren't real those are real well wasn't real dolly breast went real no i know you believe in bigfoot but there's no way you believe in it charlemagne there's no way she's had him my whole life just because she had him doesn't mean they're real charlemagne i'm not gonna lie i thought they were real they was making them like that back then they wasn't making them back i thought that's why she was famous because she wasn't making them like that back then so guys you need to stop maybe no so they wasn't making them like that back then i think there's been different iterations i think there's been different iterations shout out to dolly no but shout out to dolly man dolly part no it says yes they are real i know they are i'm trying to tell you no way i didn't think they was not real no way let me look that up right i didn't think that's kind of i'm kidding so like that she had breast augmentations and lifts over the years she opened her and having breast augmentation and lift procedures over the years that don't mean they're not real i mean yes it yeah i mean it's real to me man you've been open about that you have had some work done tucks and pulls and sucks and i'll have some more when i need them really did you have plastic surgery well yes i have had uh several little things done through the years but i'm not ashamed of that at all i think it's wonderful that we have great doctors and i think god works through all people especially talented gifted people but i've had several little things done uh and several big ones the boob jokes are not near as funny as most of the boobs with hella i call these my weapons of mass destruction i always say just find the best doctors i even some of my celebrity friends i give them the names of my of the doctors that i've used but you just got to be very careful not to overdo it i started doing little things whether i needed my under eyes you know touched up a little bit or this you know i've done it to where i just did it in small doses oh lord i've outlived so many plastics after i lost a lot of weight too i had i had several things lifted and pulled and tucked and all that but i think it's great i would i would do it again i think i look all right you believe in plastic surgery i believe in anything that's going to make you look better and make you feel better about yourself all i know is this nine to five is there a better song for working class people than nine to five boobs are fake my hair is fake but what is real is my voice in my heart i agree is there a better working class song than nine to five working nine to five fortune i like beyonce song who uh credence claire what a revival i've never even heard of that shit what the great song but nine to five man those are the hours that people work you know what i'm saying like i got good day nine to five nine to five is a great song those are the hours people yes it is you didn't know who else thought to do it who else thought to do it see now y'all frontin on her like soldier boy his next point watch now y'all frontin on her like soldier boy his next point now everyone works at home that song wouldn't even relate to them yes it would yes it would those hours you want to work yeah you know who hates that song john morgan morgan morgan wants you working from eight to eight you goddamn right shout out to dolly though man working class hero hero like like this this it is funny though i will say this people do um pick and choose what battles they fight based on who they like because i see a lot of people i saw a video maybe i can find it and insert it but the guy was talking about how dolly used her money to make sure kids kids could read kids could read yeah it's beautiful that don't make her any less of a capitalist so it's plenty of a capitalist who used their money to do things like that i love i love what she did in the literary literary space she's but that's through donation but like i listen i don't know what i mean capitalism doesn't mean that you can't also be charitable yes not forced charity through government so like many people who i know a bunch of people who don't do forced charity through government they use their money to invest in causes that they care about no a hundred percent the idea that you can't also be a benevolent capitalist you can't also be a benevolent capitalist you can't also be a benevolent capitalist yes but that's what i mean when i say they pick and choose because i i love what dolly did through literacy but dolly parton was still worth 700 million dollars you're saying by that same token she could have given away 600 million of that no i'm just saying the guy just did a whole video chastising billionaires saying instead of sending people to space sending stars to space she did her she did charity through books blah blah he was just comparing what other billionaires do compared to what dolly did to space she did her she did charity through books blah blah he was she did charity through books blah blah he was doing a logical fallacy argument built on moral doing a logical fallacy argument built on moral superior exactly when you don't know that those superior exactly when you don't know that those other people like bezos might give away way more other people like bezos might give away way more money i don't even got to say bezos i just know money i don't even got to say bezos i just know that i know people who have hundreds of millions of that i know people who have hundreds of millions of dollars who give money to the causes that they dollars who give money to the causes that they care about right i mean it's a likable take yes it's a care about right i mean it's a likable take yes it's a likable take i don't have hundreds of millions likable take and like the trend on the internet is to support dolly and it's a good way to you know and i don't have hundreds of millions of dollars to you know garner views through supporting what garner views through supporting what the internet supports i might have it hold on let me see the internet supports i might have it hold on let me see isn't that like kind of how content gets isn't that like kind of how content gets created that's all that kind of like everybody but why created that's all that kind of like everybody but why can't we say that billionaire is bad can't we say that billionaire is bad everybody's really sad this person they love died how can i everybody's really sad this person they love died how can i say billionaires are bad exactly oh my say billionaires are bad exactly oh my god i hate when people do that shit yo they virtue signal oh god i hate when people do that shit yo they virtue signal oh yeah here it goes here it goes listen yeah we should never forget that dolly parton chose to not be a billionaire because she could have dolly parton made so much money she could have let her money make money but instead she chose to reinvest in people and her community and today when i went to my mailbox on the day she died there was proof of that sitting right there waiting for me it was this book right here forts from the dolly parton imagination library since the day my son has been born once a month the dolly parton imagination library in partnership with local non-profits has mailed my son like millions of american kids across america a book for his parents to read and to read and to read to him to foster a love of reading and literacy and dreams and wonder and when my son gets home we'll unwrap this and we'll read it but she sent many books to us she said in this book it's called a little emotional because again dolly parton spent millions of dollars making sure that kids were not illiterate. She wanted to make sure that kids knew how to read, how they could understand the world around them, and that they understand how to process their emotions. This is what she spent her money on instead of buying Twitter. She sent the animal song to my son instead of trying to buy an election. She sent little poems for tiny ears instead of trying to spread misinformation about fucking vaccines. She sent dandelion magic to our front door instead of villainizing fucking trans people. J.K. Rowling. She sent chaos for kindness instead of trying to go and harp even more on dividing us as a people. She sent llama llama meets the babysitter instead of going and reinvesting in Palantir. She sent the big slide instead of making sure we slid into fascism. She said, how we say I love you instead of making us hate each other. She said, let's explore the seashore instead of buying flock cameras. She said, don't. Don't lose Mr. Cuddles, a book all about loss and how to get around and over these feelings through your family. She sent birding for babies. And she sent my son's favorite book, Gaga Mistake Day, a book about how you can hang out with your grandmother and be silly and make mistakes and everything will be all right. That pile is proof of why Dolly Parton will will be remembered and loved, not because her name's on the side of a building, not because of anything else, but because she's a woman. Not because she reinvested in people, in hope, in love, and in the future. I would like you, I would like Jeff Bezos and all the other ones to remember that as they're looking down at us from their fucking rockets, because that's the closest those fuckers will get to heaven, because only angels like Dolly deserve to be up there. Banger. Banger. No, it's perfect internet content. It is. It's like, here are the bad guys that you hate, or here are the bad guys that my audience hates. How can I say that they're bad guys? I'm not saying this person my audience loves is celebrated. Dolly chose not to be a billionaire. Bro, she did. Yeah, she just stopped at 750 million. Dude, 750 is so different than a billion, you know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. 750 is a billion. I know, I know. You know you can't make more than 750. And I love Dolly Parton and everything she stood for. All I'm simply saying is there's a lot of compassionate capitalists out here. Dolly Parton was a capitalist. She just chose to use a lot of her money to invest in causes that she cared for, like a lot of people with money do. You're making a video on the tech foundation. You hate the tech founders that you hate's platform. I know, but to me that's- You're protesting. It's not even the same. Don't make the video on the platform. It's like- Like, why are you comparing what Dolly Parton did and does to the- That's so silly to me. But that's a perfect internet video if it's going to satisfy the concerns and frustrations of your audience. But the amens and the comments and the, yeah, she chose- But it's a Yes Queen, it's a Yes Queen video. It's like, this is exactly what my audience feels. I'm going to tell you why you feel like this, and I'm going to give you a perfect reason why we should be celebrating Dolly, because you also need to celebrate- But I've also seen those same people shit on other people, especially artists who have a lot of money, who do just as much in their community, right? And they'll still say that these people are capitalists, and they're what's wrong with society. Are you referring to Jay-Z? No, I'm just saying in general, it's not just him. It's a lot of different people. You just see it all the time. That's why I say you pick and choose based on- Based on who you like. I don't know enough about Dolly. Dolly could be far more benevolent than a lot of the- Oprah got a whole school in South Africa, or had, and she just shut it down recently, and she still gets shitted on as if she's just some capitalist who don't give a- Oprah does mad literacy book clubs and everything, too. People with money invest in the causes they care about. I don't know, but those tech guys that rule in class, they different, but there's a lot of Dolly Parton's out there, guys. And I love Dolly. Do you see the Jalen Brown quote? I think it's in there. I saw that. Yeah, play the Jalen. I saw that. What is it? Jalen's another one. Jalen gives back to his community a lot. And what? People shit on Jalen? No, no, no. Watch the clip. He said there's a reason why more people don't invest. Invest in what? The community? Yeah. We should never forget that Dolly. He's the only good player on the Sixers. Sixers, great. Jalen Brown. If you go back even to when I signed, I had all the kids behind me. I announced that I wanted to build Black Wall Street, and I told you I was going to commit and invest into the city, and that's what we did. And that's what I'm continuing to do even beyond that, but I'm looking forward to expanding that out. But I want other athletes to feel that. I want other athletes to see that, because the people that are representing or the people that are around some of our most influential players are steering them away. They're steering them away from being in their community. They're steering them away from helping the people in the situation they came from, because there's no benefit for these people that are representing them. So they are pushing you away, and it's weird. It's super weird. And they take a real strong mind and some real courage to even go against it, because then they label me like they said I had a disease. They call me the smartest person in the room and all this type stuff for just trying to. Just trying to uplift my community and showing respect to the places that I came from. Like, what are we talking about? That's all I've talked about since. Oh, sorry. Go. Sometimes doing the right thing can make people feel guilty that they're not also doing the right thing. And it's easier to criticize those people than it is to match their energy. Yep. Or deter them from doing what they're doing. That is exactly right. So you gotta be like, "Ah, this guy's really a piece of shit." It's like whenever you see some rich person donate money, and then there's always somebody who's like, "It's a tax write-off." Exactly. So it's like, "All right, you donated it. You donate and write the money off in taxes as well." You still need to donate the money. It's not like the money is free because you donated it. I care about intention, bro. That's what I care about. I care about a person's intention. Even when people say things like, "Oh, yeah, he made that donation," or, "She made that donation," they should have been more discreet about it. "He just did it for the press." Yo, sometimes the press is good, not for the person, but for the organization. I do think, though, some of the people that he brought up do not strike me as the most benevolent with their wealth. Like who, who does that? Like the Palantir guy. I'm not gonna ever come to the defense of any tech lords. That guy steams. I keep telling you, re-techno-futurism would kill capitalism. He seems off, bro. I don't even know who the fuck he is. I think Alex Carp is his name. Oh, Alex Carp, okay, okay, okay. He just seems off, man. And again, you know. But I don't know that. Would he seem off if he wasn't a multi-billionaire? Yes. Yeah. Oh, okay. But then sometimes you get an off person that becomes a multi-billionaire that's incredibly powerful, and then it's like, "Whoa." Sometimes you become off 'cause you're a multi-billionaire, 'cause you're like, "Goddamn." Well, I think fame and money definitely. Yeah, everybody's looking at me like I'm crazy. People think I'm some fucking person who drinks cat's blood and eats baby flesh. Listen, maybe I caught him on a bad day. I saw him talk once, and I was like, "This is. " This is rough right here. Damn. Yeah. I'll tell you one thing, though. And Jalen, that's a very interesting take he had. I don't disagree with a lot he said. I do know an owner, though. I know an owner of an NFL team. I don't have no reason to say his name. But I remember he told me in NVM. He was right there with me. He said it though. He's old, too. And he goes, "You know, I like everything that you do in the community, man." He said, "I like the way you do the things that you do." "I like how you talk about mental health, stuff like that." "I like how you invest in those things." He goes, "I hate when I assist black people in getting large amounts of money, and they don't invest in their community." This is what he said. So this is clearly a guy who wants you to do that. And if you knew who I was talking about, you see him do that. Not only does he, of course, invest in his own community. He helps other black people. Black people that want to do things for their communities. So I just think, you know, there's people out there that would love guys like Jalen. This is not in defense of people who are getting large sums of money and not giving it. But there is a scarcity mentality. The first generation is to get money and feel the confidence that they can continue to make more of it on their own. I imagine the first generation is like, "We just got to hoard it because it was so fucking hard for us the way we grew up. And our family needs it. Everybody's asking me." When you come for money for like 10 generations, when you're a fucking Vanderbilt or a Kennedy, almost like working is beneath you. And like giving money away is like the righteous thing to do. So like, I think that like. I got a flip side to that. Please go. Please. Growing up, you know, not having much in a place like Moncks Corner, South Carolina. I didn't even. I wouldn't even. I don't know if I would even call myself poor and disenfranchised because I didn't feel like that growing up. We grew up on a single wide trail on it. Dirt road, you know, in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, you know, my grandmother had like what you would call like a little sovereign home with the tin roof and the wood. But one thing that I always saw when I was younger, even if you had a little, whatever you had, you shared with other people. My grandmother was going to always make sure everybody ate. Other people's kids, your friends that came over with you, she was going to make sure that you eat. Your dad was going to make sure you had a drink and you was going to get some food. Like that's just the type of people I grew up around. So that's always been my mentality. But also I come from a line of people who were always of service. my mother was a teach you my grandmother was the fucking lunch lady she was the school lunch lady you understand what i'm saying so it's just like i grew up watching people who didn't have much give the little bit that they had so naturally what you're going to do with a little you're going to do with a lot like that's i've i've and i've always felt like the more you give the more you get back in return and that's not the reason i'm giving i just feel like that's what you should do like i feel like you know whatever you're blessed with bless other people i think that that makes a lot of sense so i think i think there's a there's two you can be super rich and feel guilty or you can be super poor and just be a person that likes to see other people i'll be honest like sometimes you go through some shit and it makes you realize like how much help this is obviously you know how much help people need we grow up in new york city and you see people of all different types of life and like giving is a very natural thing but like we're talking about to some homeless people something like that but like you know going through the whole pregnancy struggle like that changed my brain a lot about like how much we can give and how much you could help people out and help people start families and all that kind of stuff and um it made me feel guilty that i wasn't doing different things like that sooner you know so like i guess i'm an example it's like this thing happened it was a struggle but it made me far more i don't want to say like i was closed off to it but it wasn't like top of mind like it was during that process and now it's extremely top of mind it's like anytime there's some sort of charity anytime there's some sort of event or anytime anybody asked me to do event hey can we attach a charitable component for the ivf stuff it just and then you start talking about the food banks and i'm like oh yeah man we gotta help people and then when christmas comes around it's like what about a toy drive and then it so sometimes it takes a little bit of a catalyst in your life to propel you to go do that you maybe didn't need it because you had it at such a young age but uh yeah and i mean i just always i remember being in fourth grade and they were boys we had a teacher named miss freeman i swear this woman was so evil bro and i remember there was a kid in our class and i can remember his first and last name his whole family because the the their reputation was that they were really poor so yeah regardless of what we what everybody else might have been going through or we was going in that town they were considered poor like you would like yeah no lights poor like don't eat poor and i remember lunch was so important to this kid because they were like this might be the only time he eats all day she knew that and i remember one day that's how she punished him that's cold oh my god but what i remember is this is fourth grade i remember this vividly i remember other kids in the class like myself going to lunch saying hey keep that for such and such like keep that and passing it to him when we got back you know from lunch that's fine so so i don't know i just i just come from a a place for people like that people we like to give i guess i don't know yeah and that's to community it's maybe that's probably a small town mentality no you're right like you're right like i always felt like you got to take care of you like your friends and and obviously your family like your friends become your family so it's never been a situation like i work with all my friends like even from high school from college right so it's like trying to put people in position to do well when you start doing that to strangers that you don't even know that's a that's i think a different level i think it's very natural for people to take care of their community and the people around them take care of your family like that that i think is very human instinct when you go beyond the people you know when you go and you give like extraordinary amounts of money or opportunity to people that you might never even shake hands with that's a different level of benevolence but that's beautiful and that's what we would that's what i imagine what the point of the video is that's what we would hope would happen more and i think your criticism of it is like but there are a lot of these people that you even mentioned that are doing that yes astronomical amounts and positively impacting these bro jaylen and the thing i would tell jaylen brown don't stop yeah just because you're gonna get criticism don't stop don't stop just because you ran into a couple of people who don't want to see you invest in your community don't stop because i'm telling you there's a lot there jewish white black whatever it is who are in positions of power who will help you in our heartbeat i'm sure people reached out to him once they saw that video i'm sure that there's people in positions of power who saw that video and was like yo let's help this brother do whatever it is that he's doing look at you talking about it right now yep huh look at you talking about it right oh yeah 100 absolutely let's pay some bills tail again actually i want to shout out uh i want to give a shout out to jaylen brown and jaylen brown we just did that that charity i'm not even trying to get you all right i'm not trying to get you i swear to god yeah right he we did that charity paddle tournament he didn't even show up they donated twenty thousand dollars to it that's a whole you're gonna literally make somebody's dreams come true their family yeah you don't gotta be like they're gonna have a family because and that's that's a for example just talking about it putting it out there you don't gotta be there like i hate when people like people be like someone's gonna start a family you gotta be in your hood and yo you go away to make a way you know what i'm saying you do not have to be there you can drop up you can you can organize you know i do the book bag drive i'm not always at the book bag

That's probably why he don't look-- - Oh, interesting. Anyway, he was great. I mean, he's a British guy. Did you know that? - No, he's British? - Yeah. - He's British. - I saw him in an interview. I was like, what? - He's Jamaican, I believe. - I didn't know that. - Like Jamaican-British or whatever? Yeah, so anyway, so this last episode got some pushback or controversy because they thought that it was woke. - I mean, listen, I don't know anything about Green Lantern. I do know that Jon Stewart was black, but I haven't read the comics to know how comic accurate it was. So I mean, 'cause like, here's the thing about a lot of those comic books, that is already in the comic book, like what you would call wokeness and stuff. - So if you don't know the source material. - Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just enjoyed the episode. I just thought it was good television. - I thought it was good. This is what I thought. I thought it was, I thought that they were, what is it called? Like Telegraph is like, what is too obvious? Like too- - Yeah, yeah, too on the nose. I get what you're saying. - I thought it was, I thought the theme in which people are criticizing it for is on the nose for wokeness and it didn't have to be. Like there's a really interesting corollary in the Green Lantern story with Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart's a black dude and he's gonna become one of these lanterns. And in order to become a lantern, you have to be fearless. I could butcher this 'cause I know nothing about the Lantern backstory. I only know what I've seen. So his dad had the opportunity to be Lantern and the lanterns, the Lanterns come in, like these aliens come in. They're like, are you afraid? And the dad's like, yeah, I'm afraid. And then he loses the opportunity. - That was crazy. - Right, what? 'Cause of Enorma or whatever? - No, I just thought it was crazy. 'Cause later on in the movie, when his wife was like, he's a black man in America. And you know, of course he's gonna be afraid. No, I'm afraid 'cause this fucking alien just abducted me, just abducted me. - So like, so the alien comes to talk to the wife and was like, well, we asked him if he was afraid. He said he's afraid. He's like, he's a black man in America. He has every reason to be afraid. - Why wasn't she shook? - Well, she didn't believe him. - No, no, no, no. I'm talking about two reasons. I'm a random black woman in my yard. And this random white woman just walks up on me. Number one, I think you're the feds. What's your problem looking for my husband? Then you just shape shift in front of me into an alien then turn back. And I just invite you in my house for coffee. - She should be Green Lantern. - Yeah. - How did they not pick her immediately? - Word is born. - Nah, it's better than either. - John get all his feelings just from his mom. - That's right. Dad is soft. - Clearly. - That dude that played the dad is in the running movie I'm doing. - Really? - Yeah, yeah. J. Alphonse, something like that. - I don't know. I just thought, I mean, listen, it's a movie. I don't take superhero science fiction shit too serious. - It's not about taking it seriously. It's what was interesting. Maybe this is written in the original Green Lantern is this, at least this is what I was getting from it, is that black parents in America have to raise their kids with a level of fearlessness given the circumstances they're put in front of them, especially when this comic book is written, I don't know how long ago, decades ago, right? So what I thought was, what they're trying to say is, what a unique advantage to being a superhero. Like, I thought the messaging is we gotta raise our kids to be fucking fearless superheroes. And now you're instilling all this confidence in young black kids when they're reading this fucking comic book and they're like, holy shit. Like this is-- - No, that's true. - And what I thought they did in the show was they said, there was one point where like the alien says to the mom, like, what do you mean he's black? He has to be, he has to be afraid. And the mom's like, well, it's different for us here. And then the mom talks to the dad and goes, listen, you know, they don't think about us here and they don't think about us right there. And it's like, it's a couple of these moments where it's like, you don't even need that piece of dialogue. Like, because the message, the message is already there. It's already there without saying it, and they stamped it. And it's like, if you don't say it, you actually let the internet fodder go, yo, what they're trying to say is this. And it's elevated, it elevates the arc. - It was cheesy. It was good though. It was good cheese. I don't know, man, I'm lactose intolerant, okay? But it was like-- - But I just spoke with the show. - I enjoyed the show too. But like I said, I don't know nothing about Green Lantern. I don't know nothing about Jon Stewart's story. - Do you know the Sinestro, is that the character? Sinestro? - I know, I'm familiar with Sinestro, but in the comic book, well, maybe he is in the movies too. In the comic books, Sinestro was a person of color 'cause Sinestro was like-- - Yeah, he's like purplish pinkish or whatever. - No, he was actually like a-- - Oh no, he was a different alien. - You sure? - I think he was a different alien. - Yes, always. - No, I thought he was like Latino or something in the comic books. - He was always-- - Sinestro. - Pull up Sinestro. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's definitely-- - He has a facial hair. - He looks like some type of foreigner in the comic show. - In the Enorma? - He does in the TV show too though. - What? - He does! Sinestro? - No, Enorma. - Whatever, this guy, why is he going? He's going too hard, Alex. He's finally-- - He almost had you just now. - I'm gonna get you slippin'. I'm gonna get you slippin', I'm gonna get you slippin'. - Always been like a colorful alien looking. - Oh, that's purple? - Yeah. - I see, I just thought that was brown. I just thought it was brown. Once again, I don't know nothing about Green Lantern. I think it's so corny that he gotta charge his ring. That shit pisses me the fuck off. - No, because-- - That shit an iPhone, bro? Like, what the fuck is that? - Okay, superheroes-- - It was like, is that 5%? - But listen, superheroes are only interesting without their powers. Like, if you notice, every Superman movie that's good, he loses his powers for some way. Like, you need to normalize them so that we can relate to them. - Or just give me a big threat that's fucking him up and he gotta dig a little deeper. - A big threat is whack. Like, I wanna destroy the world. - Like, Hulk don't never get no weaker. - Yes, he did. - That's why Hulk sucks. - When? - Remember, he couldn't turn into Hulk. - He couldn't turn into Hulk. - Oh, that was pussy. That dirt, that, I hate that. Now, that, don't even talk about that. I watched Infinity War and Endgame, or Infinity War, and that shit pisses me off to this day. How the fuck did the Hulk have erectile dysfunction? And they never explained it to us, like, why he just didn't wanna come out. Like, why? - Green Shoe. - That shit. That shit pissed me the fuck off to this day. - Were you pissed off with the Spider-Man and the Mind Goblin shit? Yeah, you doing it like him, you gotta ease into it. - This whole time, I thought that I missed something. - What do you mean? - I thought that, when you just said about the Hulk, I thought I missed the movie of why he wasn't coming out anymore. So they never explained it. - He's never been gay, Taylor. - No. - Oh my God. - Why would he come out? What are you talking about? - Didn't you just say, like, they never explained why he was scared to? - No, what they did, they kind of did in, well, they did in "Endgame," but it just, it was whack. - Yeah. - It didn't even make no sense. Like, it was a waste. You wait until the last two movies to just make Hulk pussy? I didn't like that. - I just think they had to do it because the Hulk is the type of person, the more anger he gets, the stronger he gets. So he should have been able to get angry enough to fight Thanos. - Yeah. - Yes. - But then the whole movie would have been done if he fucking was strong enough to fight Thanos. - Yes. But nah, maybe. I don't, I don't, maybe. Listen. "Green Lantern," though. - Yeah. - "Green Lantern" is so good, and DC needed that, bro. 'Cause I was excited about the James Gunn DC, but it's been very, very subpar. - You know what they did that I think is really interesting? - What? - And I'm, this is no, like, trying to get you, I swear to God. This is the first episode of the show. They did an interesting, like, retention hack thing. - In "Lantern?" - In "Lantern." - Okay. - The first episode is just a detainee and a detective drama. They don't set anything up. They don't give backstory. You're in the show immediately, right? Second episode, you start to get a little bit of backstory, but you're still trying to solve this little mystery thing. Like, this could be any serialized detective show. It could be "Criminal Mind." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It could be "Law & Order." Like, it's just a regular, good show, well-acted, interesting plot. It got a little alien-ship, but not that much, and you're trying to solve the problem. Third episode, they give you the first episode of the show. - Yeah. - So they put the pilot kind of, which describes the backstory, explains who these people are, why they gotta be there, after you're already into the show. if more tv shows are going to do that because they go if we give them the backstory of this like nerdy comic book shit it might alienate some hbo viewers but if you give us a detective drama now everybody you don't hear about superhero shit is gonna go all right i can fuck with this yeah and tell you like women love this like i'm watching this with my wife she loves it and like for the fucking aaron pierre bro no no no but they're like panties during the show damn damn lost to another check for moisture bro everybody likes this show because of what you said like they started it just like a regular hbo series and it wasn't even heavy-handed on some superhero shit and i think people are into it a lot because of that yo are we missing tv yo i don't feel nothing slapping on tv bro i like the landers but what else is on tv that's nothing nothing right i thought i was tripping no no no no that's not true tired tires tires back for season four that's classic already that's four seasons in you're right like a new show yeah like back for season four i like on hulu called furious it's pretty good yeah i heard where i heard people talking about shameless and some other chick but it's a really good show people like adulting this is a lot of good isn't that a few seasons in already there's not there's not a monoculture show this hour not which i think what you're saying there's not you know what was fire you know what there's a lot of fire you know what there's a lot of fire you know what there's a lot of right now there's a lot of really good yeah a lot of really there's no game of thrones there's no stranger thing there's no not sopranos but there's a lot of widow's bay on apple that's good fire fire i would say really good and like it's a show that deals with like kind of like superstition and like being haunted or whatever right but the way that they choose to act it out actually really interesting it's how people who are based in reality but a little superstitious would treat something so for example if you tell me that like a room is haunted i'll go in it but i'm not gonna sleep in that fucking room because even though i know haunted doesn't make sense and it's bullshit i'll go hey yeah see it's not haunted and then i'll leave and that's kind of how they operate around anything like uh what is it called when it's paranormal paranormal and i'm like oh shit you made a grounded horror show based on how people would actually act if paranormal shit was happening you know how you know how usually it's a choice where like the character's like no this makes no sense get the fuck out of here that's not how you act when someone tells you some shit is haunted you act a little you project that you're not scared but deep down you're like terrified yes you know what else is interesting about lanterns is uh i remember when they went to the ranch yeah yeah yeah one and two one and two yeah bro they could have introduced some heavy racism right there you a black vegan man on this fucking ranch and uh where they at where's the state at no what was it wisconsin no it was uh i think it's wisconsin it was new mexico right didn't they go to albuquerque i forgot what they had arkansas arkansas is arkansas i don't realize you just on this ranch once there's aliens we all get along aliens are how you solve racism because once there's something else that threatens us we gotta find a way to figure it out yeah yeah like there was nothing racist about the black guy on that they shot the white guy and he was vegan and didn't want to eat the eat didn't want to eat the white man's crazy crazy the white man was like ah we got some tofu steaks for you i was like well that's progressive he also fucked his wife yeah fuck his wife and his wife is indian or something like that was crazy yo that was a little crazy tell me why it just was a little crazy i don't want to talk about it say it say i don't want to talk about it i'm just saying first episode fresh out of a bar right to the car oh my god you just piping it down like that that was a little crazy yo why why why i'm just saying bro it's a little crazy yo but why why wait what are you trying to say man what are you trying to say i'm just saying you knew in town yeah nobody really knows you you're the new guy you don't know this young lady you're in a bar you don't know this young lady you're in a bar you don't know this young lady you're in a bar you don't know how long y'all been in this bar he said and then y'all go to the car he said he's a wide receiver for the 49ers y'all go to the car yo he just ran didn't even have a condom he just you know what i'm saying y'all just been in that bar kicking it you don't know how long she's been in how long she's been and they had the windows all the way up you don't think he green lanterned a little iud he didn't even have to ring he didn't even have to ring then yo and he yeah he yeah he did leave it inside that was crazy you that nah but he ate a wonder candy he ate a what wonder candy's not spitting in your mouth there we go that was crazy i like how he got out the chair that was crazy i like that like he we wanted to gap up so bad and none of us reached out for her he's like i gotta share this energy with somebody that shit was crazy what else we got telling oh they keep uh after 30 years uh kifi d has been convicted for uh being for orchestrating so he wasn't killing a fupaxi core he wasn't a person actually killed him but he was the person who he said he orchestrated he orchestrated the killing yeah so he earned it and he's not he earned what he earned being convicted yeah he's been telling us he did it for the last yep 15 years he did yeah what he wrote a memoir he was on a documentary he did he did a million vlad tv interviews he he did a proffer where he he talked to the police officers but they would they told him that i guess what was it the testimony couldn't be used against him why would he do that he was talking to federal authority why would he does he want to go to jail ego yeah when will everybody learn this is about ego we live in a world right now that just because of this media ecosystem it helps you to amplify your ego people want credit for the dumbest shit proximity they want to be immortalized listen for the last 30 years you've been hearing about this tupac's core murder you've been watching tupac become a mythical immortal figure everybody you you and you sitting around like i'm out of here now this new ecosystem comes where oh podcast oh they're getting paid to do those type of interviews and i got the most interesting story in the world i got it all it's been 30 years oh yeah i'm good you know i i'm good they're not coming after me after 30 years ego he was actually on the podcast or in interviews saying that he orchestrated yes and his lawyer said that he was he was just doing it for entertainment so it's one of two things bro either you are out here um telling the truth or a fucking slow buddy right you're either telling the truth right for for content which is stupid or you're pretending to be involved in this murder for content which is stupid okay either way you deserve to be exactly where you are ego yo these cameras and these microphones are not the problem people's egos are facts they just have to get in front of these cameras and say something they want the credit for everything even if it's a fucking murder well you got the credit you deserve oh my god and if it don't let a celebrity be if it's a celebrity involved they want proximity to that celebrity in any way shape or form so now keep you do you will go down in infamy as being the person who orchestrated the killing of one of the most beloved pop culture figures ever did he say who did it ever yeah yes who'd he say everybody that everybody in the car is dead except for him yeah oh yes it was four people in the car it was four right four or three i think it was three and two people in the car including him no it's four people did he say the name of the guy who shot him yeah he does he yeah i think he implies that it was like his nephew or something like that orlando anderson yeah oh it was orlando yeah yeah i believe i mean that's what i that's the story i've always that's what he implies and he provided the gun but hey man wow hey it's hot hey can't feel sorry for him what so i'm seeing this discussion come back on like um should people be responsible for platforming and having this guy snitch on himself like he went on a bunch of vlad infuse and no where a lot of it came out it's not vlad fault it's his fault it's his fault it's ego he decided to get in front of that camera people are telling that story a little bit i'm just hearing somebody killed somebody and we found out i'm hearing no no i'm here what world we live in bro but you know how when they were calling like vlad a snitch just because like oh people come on vlad and then they talk about their crimes and then they get in trouble for it i thought they were don't go on vlad and talk about your crime i know yo it is astonishing how zero accountability we have man it's like at a certain point in time it's like point in time, we're talking about someone who murdered Tupac. And you're angry at the guy who asked him if he did it and he said yeah that's crazy bro like aren't you glad that we know who the guy is that murdered and orchestrated the murder of tupac and now he's going to be serving time yes yes or or i think like there's been times we've interviewed people yeah where it's like they might have said something that's a little questionable and we're like hey are you sure you want to keep this in this might not go well for you yeah should vlad have that responsibility no that's different because that guy came there to have that conversation we're not interviewing alleged murderers you see what i'm saying like he came like vlad do what they they knew what that conversation was going to be about that's not on vlad that's on the person that's not on vlad vlad what did vlad do wrong be white if vlad wasn't white i don't even think it's a conversation right you very much let's be honest you're probably right if he wasn't white probably right let's pay some bills man and then come back and do some asking idiots taylor gang taylor gang gang taylor not a sailor taylor not a sailor oh i know i have no idea it's him i don't like it i don't like it

marriage well we haven't been in long-lasting marriages i guess i've been in a long-lasting relationship i've been built my baby for 28 years married for 14 no 12 12 12 i don't know bro i think when the person is for you they for you i don't i don't i don't know if there's any like advice i can give you like i can't give you a manual or any tips that make you be like hey man you do this then you'll be with this person forever like if that person is for you they're for you if you're for that person you're for that person communication and always um choose your person you you saw that on in a fortune cookie you don't even know what that means say what that means choosing your person like whenever if he for instance if my man gets me annoyed and everything else like and i'll be ready to be like man fuck this like i'm about to no i can't do that we have a child together and understand the other benefits that he brings to the relationship that's not true what if he backhand slap you i'm just saying if he backhand slap you you're not gonna choose your person of course even if y'all got a child you're gonna grab that baby and be out yeah but when it comes but it's like understanding what small issues and what's big issues but that's what i mean when i say if that person is for you they're for you it's the specificity of the backhand yeah i don't know why you gotta imagine it right like it's too specific i don't even want to laugh it's not funny at all it's the destruction of her marriage destruction of her relationship her family unit but the second he said back in you gotta imagine like this motion and then that fucking landing ring boy there's a part of that cheek but there's a part of you that's also like why ain't you ducking when you start go here like back in there's enough time to get out the way right like if you're still testing him at this because the wife can't believe it's like i know this motherfucker ain't about to slap the shit it might be the way to get away with it act like you're about to get sturdy but no i mean i understand what you're saying taylor but that's the same thing i'm saying when i'm just saying like yo when you know that person is for you they're for you like that's what love is right unconditional love is patience patience you know and all that shit is hard but like trying to give the best intentions but i also think it's just knowing what your partner brings to the table as well though like yeah yeah being grateful for them yeah but like but also just like if you can frame whatever annoying shit they're doing to you in the best possible way it becomes way more digestible and i think that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the what happens is sometimes if you're in a rut you both start looking at each other's behavior through the lens of trying to hurt or trying to cause conflict and if instead it's like uh she didn't actually mean it that way or uh she's actually annoyed by someone else not even me or uh i think that that can give you like a little bit more leeway and allow you to talk through things yeah it's my person but also just accepting like after you're wife has a kid she's gonna hate you for a year yeah they hate you for a year they that's just part of it they hate you for a year whatever you say is annoying all of it is is is a you get a year go with the flow young man that's why a lot of people who break up like after the kid came out it's like you just didn't wait a year like they become normal again a year later like remember that lady killed the kids the lindsey clancy yeah which is so tragic and fucked up and like horrible but what did they say that postpartum they said it was postpartum if they said that she killed her husband to go okay i get it there would be no surprise the only surprising thing is that she took it out on the kids like usually that's the last place that a wife goes but if it was like i killed my husband i killed his mom you know like i'd be like yeah she's just being a woman about it like that's all i would think what else we got tell a girl hilarious mg may how does mama t balance

He's not getting chosen for the ring. Nope. You scared of- That is so funny. I almost said just the- Nope. Nope. That's crazy. Listen, the other day, I'm sitting on the balcony, and one of the balconies at the house is right. It's outside of our bedroom, so I'm sitting outside the balcony. Me and my wife got there drinking. We kicking it. It's late. We playing music. And you know how you can just feel something? You can just feel a presence. I look to the left. It's two of the biggest motherfucking raccoons just walking on the ground in the backyard. I wasn't even trying to hide or nothing. Come live in the city, man. I'm like, "Why the fuck did God make y'all?" Come live in the city, man. What the fuck? What about possums? Didn't you have to do a lot of possums? Oh, possums is the worst. Yeah, I was saying possums are worse. I was like, "Why, God?" I thought, yeah, I didn't even know what a possum was. Like, why? Possums and raccoons for what? No, raccoons are kind of cool-looking. Possums are just a huge rat. You think. Raccoons were not cool until Guardians of the Galaxy, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guardians of the Galaxy. Swipers, maybe Swipers- And see, y'all were making fun of me when I was like, "Why is there a raccoon with a gun?" All right. You got this thrown apart. No, no, no. You don't remember when I was saying that, y'all were laughing at me. Why were we laughing at you? Because I didn't understand why there was a raccoon in space. And y'all was like, "Y'all can't. Y'all can't get mad at us." Y'all would freak the fuck out. I would freak the fuck out, man. I would freak the fuck out, yeah. That would scare the shit out of me. They can have the place, bro. Imagine you're in space, bro. Imagine you're in space. Oh my God. I couldn't take it. You go to a spaceship and there's some raccoons standing on top of it. Oh my God, man. Let's do one more. 9th Mercenary said, "Would you rather have mind controlling abilities or the ability to read minds?" Mind controlling abilities or the ability to read minds. Mind control. That's not even a hard question. I don't know. You know. Would you rather have mind controlling abilities or the ability to read minds? Why do you want to read minds? I don't want to control nobody's mind. Yeah, exactly. Because life will not be enjoyable if you can do that, man. Yeah, you're choosing if you want to though. You don't have to control everyone's mind. Yeah, but eventually you're just going to not choose and then now you're just an evil tyrant. That's the beauty of life. The beauty of life is that we all make choices. Yeah. I don't think human beings, we don't give ourselves enough credit for the good choices that we make. If life was a batting percentage. Human beings overall are batting a pretty good percentage. And what do you mean by that? Because every day, and I say this all the time, every single day we wake up, we are literally at the mercy of other people. We are relying on other people to be civilized, to be sane, and to treat you the way you want to be treated. And vice versa, right? I got to treat people the way that I want to be treated. Every single day. We just saw the shit that happened in Times Square yesterday. Yeah. The woman stabbed two people in Manhattan, then the police ended up killing her in Times Square. Oh my God. What if you ran into that lady yesterday? You're just minding your fucking business, and she got knives and she decides to stab you in your stomach. That is- Did she kill the people? She killed one. Yeah. One of them was a 30- Just came off maternity leave. You didn't see the video? No. The woman was on maternity leave? She had just come back to work this week. No. Oh, the woman that she killed. Yeah, the woman who died. 30 years old. Jesus Christ. That's what they said. Oh, and was it a targeted, like I'm going to target- No. The woman- She stabbed two people. Was it like a Luigi Mangione type of thing? No. She came out of the subway and she just stabbed two people. That's so sad. Stabbed like a 68-year-old something man, and then a woman, 32-year-old woman. And then the police shot and killed her, right? But my point is, nobody's expecting to run into that. That's, I don't want to say rare, but if you look at the overall amount of interactions, interactions that you have with humans on a regular basis, that doesn't really happen. We see it a lot, but that doesn't, that doesn't happen as much as we, it probably could. And you're sure it had nothing to do with Bank of America? Yeah. Yeah. She was out of her mind. You didn't see her. Well, I mean, so was Luigi, but like- No, but you didn't see, you didn't see, yeah, you didn't see the clip? This was a different thing. Yeah. She sees the video, like it's cops behind her and cops in front of her, and she starts doing some- Yeah. Like she starts spinning the knives, like type shit. Was it at the BofA building? No. It was in Times Square 42nd. BofA? Yeah. BofA is- This guy don't give a fuck. He does not care. Bank of America. Yeah, I know that, but he still was going to try to get me if one of us would have felt for him. BofA is Bank of America. Yeah. Yeah. I know that. Sure. But you, that was, you, you was going, I got him now. You was like, yeah. You was getting greedy because you got BofA them, but you wanted to get her so bad that you didn't get him now. Look. Nah, bro. Come on. Look, look how she- Nah, this is fucking terrible. Remind me of like- Why is that guy behind her filming? Why is he filming with the fucking camera? Come on. It's Times Square. Nah, bro. Yes. Watch this, though. Watch what- I don't want to watch it, bro. Is it killing? Am I going to see killing, bro? Nah, I think they cut it- Not necessarily, no. Yeah, they cut it off before. Or they even cut- Nah, bro. I don't want to see it. Yeah, I don't want to see it. I didn't see the killing part. I don't think this is one of them edited videos, though. How old was she? Who? She was 49? Oh, nah. She's tragic, man. Shut up. Shut up. Stop, Taylor. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Yes, it is. They're going to shoot it right now. Yes, they are. Yeah, but you don't see it like that. You mean they don't see it like that, Taylor? But I will say, rest in peace to that young lady who got killed by this woman. This is a- everybody's saying that the police shouldn't have killed her. I don't know what else they wanted the police to do. Nah, you got him. You got him, man. What else you want them to do? A fucking 747 was about to land on 42nd Street. I don't know what else you want the police to do. In that situation. That was a small knot. And they were tasing her at first. I feel like they missed the tase. I swear. Yes. They were tasing her. She's like an elephant. They were tasing her at first. You know she already stabbed two people. She conjures a spell. Come on. It was- Yo, y'all gotta stop. Yo, stop. Yo, stop. She started conjuring a spell. Do you want a portal to open up over Times Square? I thought Dr. Strange was about to. Do you see what the fuck I'm saying? Mind you, she also said she'll kill them, too. NYPD stopped the incursion, bro. Okay? They stopped the incursion, yo. I don't care what y'all say. You guys.
