The podcast explores the New York Knicks’ playoff journey, focusing on fan energy, cultural dynamics, and the impact of external factors like Donald Trump's attendance. The host reflects on the intense, loyal atmosphere of New York fans, contrasting it with the perceived chaos of outside disruptions. A pivotal moment during the national anthem—where a performance is abruptly cut—leads to confusion and underscores the deep emotional connection fans have with the game. The discussion also examines what it means to be the "face of the league," noting that dominance, charisma, and cultural resonance are essential. Michael Jordan’s legacy is highlighted as a rare example of a player who achieved both on-court excellence and cultural ubiquity through humility, resilience, and connection. The conversation extends to current stars like LeBron James and Wilt Chamberlain, questioning whether today’s players can match that level of cultural impact. Ultimately, the podcast celebrates the Knicks’ energy and the enduring power of fan passion, while using humor and personal anecdotes to reflect on New York’s unique sports culture and social behaviors.
Yeah, I'm Charlotte me and the God Andrew show y'all the priority is podcast back for another week of brilliant Eddie And this has a car walk on what's up my boy you are you sir, man I'm listening. We got a big game tonight. We're recording this on Wednesday I told you mix the six man X and five go back and listen to the pod last week They was gonna win game two they're gonna lose game three and five they're gonna win games six in the garden Baby and I don't know why the Nick started pandemonium so early not yet Nick's fans because we got trauma bro. We got I got long. I got a long armpit hair, but we got trauma My hair got bang is fucking crazy. What the fuck is going on with you, bro. Okay, you got Caitlyn's in in a headlock Which part of her She has Harry bottom Harry bottom. No, man. Yeah, we got trauma bro. We got 50 fucking years of trauma No, I think that I honestly, I think that I think everything was fine I think the reason that you had so many fights outside of game three was because of Donald Trump, bro Yo, let me just tell you something like Why is it when Americans fight outside of games. It's not culture Oh, no, this is never like when European fight outside of stadiums. It's culture. These are the hooligans These are the fans. These people really love the sport Take it off outside of the niggs get listen time square is so safe Think about it that if that is the craziest thing that happened in time square Look how far New York has come. I mean listen since the shot of healthcare CEO in time square We just taking off a jersey. Yeah, don't do that. Don't have me get the light. You're not just taking off Since I'm so much here that we're doing this the fan. This guy's we got so much better man They've been doing this the fans since last year doing what just be just caring about your team We don't know what don't spurs fans said would they be disrespectful? No, they just they really see a video of them Exactly, but what did they do? Jersey? What you know why? You don't know They always try crazy disrespectful talking shit about our women. Yeah talking shit about talking shit about our women The way it was disrespecting you they were disrespecting all the different women Was perfectly fine until Donald Joy killer Trump came and sucked all the joy out of it But I was the dog. I'm not one of these people that say things like Trump caused him to lose But I think it was very stupid for James Dolan to invite him to the game simply because it inconvenienced that every day working class people of No, so I was absolutely it wasn't convenient to go to like we went to the game It was there was inconvenience to go there, but what I will say though is I thought That it was gonna be like a focal point throughout the game Once the game started Nobody even gave a fuck. No, I don't think it was locked in energy. Yeah, I don't think nobody cared But I'm just literally they tried to wait they try to protect him from a boo too. Oh, no, he got boo No, but they didn't booty better this first though. Let me tell you something So I was like what are they gonna do cuz they got a show them the only show them once. I know I know Let me let me get done. No, can I get there? Yeah, God damn So I was like how they gonna show them because I know that they're gonna try to protect them from the boo, right? National anthem starts this guy's voice is unbelievable. The sky is saying really oh my god. It plays a scarecrow in I mean it's out of you the wizard of Oz and Wiz we can win some wicking. I don't know what it is one of the odd Adoptions anyway During the national anthem they cut them quick. That's the only time they cut so so naturally I'm sure they're thinking like I nobody's gonna boo the national anthem, right? They cut to him It's boozing cheers though. I think I know everybody wants to be like oh, it's just it was boozing I said on TV you couldn't tell now. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing The guy singing the national anthem thought he was doesn't know that they cut the truck you think you bomb it So you singing your heart out He's killing it people are into it all the sudden you have one note So I think they must have told him ahead of time because he didn't even flinch so not really as soon as I Know that he would be there. I had an idea in New York crowds and audiences are Very very honest sometimes maybe to honest to a point energy that you cannot contain so I knew that it would be something and Because I had in Arizona. I really didn't hear it if I'm honestly speaking. So I was just like okay, you know moving on He kept moving. Well a good thing. Oh, yeah, but no because you gotta have you like I know to be with me I mean he was killing it everybody's into it, and then I don't know where Now I wonder if maybe he thought maybe they pan to a spurs player maybe they pan to Wembee or some shit like that Maybe they told them that's what we're gonna pan they had because that would have shocked a shit I ain't by you singing the nation song they in the garden and all of a sudden you just get hit with the Somebody probably prepped them though. They let them know like yo trumps in the buildings will just be prepared for anything that may happen But I just think the thing that pissed me off the most not even is Dolan, and trope even if Dolan invites you You got to say nah that wouldn't be a good look for New York. You're from New York. You know better than No Dolan slander while we're in up to No Dolan slander. I'm a company man now up to one no you from South Carolina And you live in New Jersey is got another to do it. That's true. It's like me talking about the lady game cocks You don't care about the working class people in the city say what you don't care about the working class people and the people reselling the tickets Don't care about them. They need they need to come up. No. They need I'm happy for them. Shout out to all of the people. I dare you. Yeah, I don't care about the work And as I ask people you don't care about them. How dare you? The watch party was cancelled outside of New York City thousands of people who can't get tickets who sit outside of New York Who patron the bar and the restaurant? Oh my god. You can't have it both How in districts? You have to have it both outfits. Oh James don't and New York mixed fans are violent You can't do it, but then all of a sudden so can we have a watch party? Can we know I know who's not violent enough? Who the actual New York mix? How dare y'all let Wimby just get more I'm bouncing just getting much and shoved to the ground Y'all let Wimby get that off and I tell you can I tell you can I tell you this is and I mean this sincerely The one criticism that I have for the game was When the spurs went up early The garden was And the advantage you have at all as a home game Yeah, is it you got your fans that are there dying for you and I think the ticket prices are so expensive I'm not saying that they're not Nick fans You know I mean, but there was 6.8 seconds left on the clock and We were down for and I got a video of people walking out You don't leave a fucking playoff game with 6.8 seconds down for with the ball. No, no, no, no Different circumstances, you know that everything's blocked the fuck off So you got a walk five of six blocks. You couldn't even park near the fucking garden 6.8 seconds left on the clock. They don't have to they do I live here now Hey, that's where I live and you guys got figured out because I'm blocked I'm not leaving the garden to that game's old damn apartment in it told me some real shit the day man He would like yo, they got it. Oh, you're mr. Working class I'm talking to them. Yeah, when I was at the soup kitchen earlier He said that because everything I was driving the subway here He said because everything and blocked all stops the guy told me something but think about this He said because everything is is blocked off for five or six blocks. He said it's actually scary Because now when you leave the garden you got a walk and people are out there Wow, I was crazy. You know, I was that's what he said. He said people out there. Well, we were we walked through the projects to get away That's how scary I said well, I don't have my wife and I'm like, you know, we gotta go that way and she's like through the projects I'm like it's safe What is projects by the garden? It's not that far. There's projects down like 20th or three. Oh That's where the Williams brothers grew up. I thought they grew up in Brooklyn. Oh Chelsea, okay, you got you got you got the inspiration for them gay characters Why six all that's right to have a block then by the time y'all hit his game for a party happen When we gotta get it tonight when we gotta get it. We got one brand. We got we got wimmy a lock We're not worried about now, but you can't let him do what he did to Brunston, bro You can't let him do what the fuck you got to send them out there Brunston was grabbing his jersey Bring one of them guys off the fucking bridge. What's that big ass seven footed? They got on the bench. Let's start with at each hucking hook. No
Huckin' of some shit like that he came up from the G Lee have him run through just put him in a run through Wimby's chest That's it. Knock Wimby on his ass. We're sure. Send the fucking message All right, Charles Oakley can't be in the garden, but the spirit of Charles Oakley need you know that that'd be the most fire shit Come on man. Charles Oakley walks in tonight Tell me that what it said. Yeah, that's that's what James Dola needs to do to get back in New York is good graces You let us all stuff their life on when to Monday you you do Charles Oak you chill with this lady We do trouble up to one. We do Charles Oakley coming back into the garden and you have it delayed Man, and then all of a sudden he walks out first before the team. Oh The garden. That's it'll go crazy. Yeah, that's it'll create a go crazy But yeah, it was super inconvenient and everybody was super annoyed by it And actually was corny as fuck from Trump to be honest with you because it's like what do we even think like what what is the point of this like Everything is working out are you there change nothing. I felt scared to go into the game myself This how superstitious I am I wasn't at the two games where we want to stay in Antonio So I'm like should we just keep that going? Mm-hmm. I get stopped all the time for people on the street that are like Hey, can you make my tick-tock about the nicks? I'm like, I don't want to talk about this I feel uncomfortable even talking about the greatest thing about the man. Look. Oh my game you go to me and we look all do that The greatest thing about the way it's run is the fans. That is the funnest I have now been in New York for 20 years. I've never seen the energy in the city now You like that now you like the energy not for the Yankees now, but I've never felt it. You're never felt it The fuck is you talking about? No, no, you didn't. We made it to the finals. You remember that course. I remember that you wouldn't even born I was a born when we won 99 you're right 99 you're there. You're right. You're right. You're right. It felt like this. Yeah. I mean you're a kid so everything's magnified right? Like the world is just insane and you're also when the Rangers made this Stanley Cup finals. No, I don't like it. I'm about to talk about that. Oh, yeah, they did. They did. They did. They did. They did. It was really New York is a baseball city. Is it? Sorry, basketball. It's like the same. Yeah. New York is a basketball city We didn't have funding in the public school like my public school had a basketball team only right and we Didn't even have a basketball court in our school. We had to go to basketball city to play our home our home games were away Yeah, it was in court everywhere. It's a court everywhere. So yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a basketball city Baseball were known the Yankees, but like don't really grows up playing baseball You play little league until you're like 11 and then you never touch a baseball again Maybe the Puerto Ricans Dominican's keep playing outside of that nobody. They play with a big ball. They play stick ball When the Yankees went on that run, the city was alive. Not a city. I like this. I've seen the Yankees run, I've seen Mets run, I've seen Giants do both nothing like this This is basketball city and basketball rules and if the nicks are good The like listen the price of admission to a Nick's playoff game is a lot different than the Yankees I understand there's more tickets to whatever available to I get it. I get it the the the fucking stadium is bigger But it's just a testament to how much people love the game and how much people love the next nori said he had on it Nick's jersey. Yeah, and he was walking he got caught in the the Israel Israel day parade and he was walking in the office Was like next and he was like next and fall and they opened the gate for me and let him walk through And you know how safe the Israel day parade They just let him walk through because he had a Nick's jersey on you know I've never seen no shit like this in New York never felt anything like it I Don't think that anything's comparable nothing. I don't think there's I'm not even joking. I don't think it needs everything I don't think there's anything the only other sporting the only other sporting event our sports energy that would compare No, I'm talking about the sports. I mean the cowboys go back to the Super Bowl Oh, you're saying like the energy. Yeah, I meant not cuz it's a go back you guys are used to success No, not since the 90s bro. We have been since 96. Yeah, but you won like our whole childhood was dominated by you guys Winning so you remember winning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, none of us have a memory of us winning. Yeah. Yeah, Bill Jackson was playing basketball when we won Can you can you just imagine that verse man the announcer of the mix was on the team the last time we won Hey top of collaboration. Yeah, like this is a different situation. It is man. I've never seen anything like it I've never seen anything like it never felt anything like it New York feels amazing when the nicks are winning. Oh my god Like I want them to win I mean they're gonna win the night because they're gonna win the series nicks nicks and sick the zebras though are acting a little crazy Come on now cuz I'm not one to bitch about the rap some are they are it was a gree just not yeah, yeah, it was a gree They missed two flagrant like and after review cuz you know they review shit after the game that pushed the the castle push on Bronson was insane That wasn't up to push on to the chest. That was a flop. You talk about the rebound. You're talking about the rebound Floor the no rebound. That's gonna play me talking about. I'm talking about what it looks like when somebody it was Hand him the foul and he was running for a fucking first down. Look at that. No, that's what that's the wimpy one the wimpy push Wimpy shit is crazy. Yeah, the wimpy push all of these. Yeah, that's the rain through him Yeah, he went through with the form and they called it a foul so they knew as a foul And then they went and said after review they're like no, it wasn't a flagrant. It's like come on guys There was another bad call. I don't know if it was game one a game I think it was games it was game - because they won by one when they they rescinded the technical the next day So you had a refs call and text what if they don't lock what if the next one a lost by one But then the next day you rescind the technical fact. I think they can't call a tech on wimpy cuz if they call a tech on him He's out of the game because he he got a flagrant Earlier open to elbow like in earlier the playoffs just some shit like he when he's kind of in a position where like They fear if they call another one on him. We should look this up to make sure I'm accurate has enough Points yet to be ejected. I thought he was at that point Pretty sure that it would reset it in the playoffs anyway. I don't think I think from No, that was the playoff. No, this is during the playoff. This is the first. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think and I also don't know why it It's the scared of wimpy. I hate when they take for that. Yeah. No, no, no, no We got wimpy a lock. No, but I'm talking when they take the ball down low and he's standing there Oh, no, you they run back out. We are scared of him defense. Why I mean, he's gonna block it And you might get a block, but you might get a goal. 10 you might get a foul. Yo, oh jee backed him down and dunked on him with two hands Oh, take a new whip. Take it right to him. Oh jeez. Oh jeez. Oh man. Oh the fuck man second best player say what I think it's the next next second best player really Not a cat is cat is guys The cat's lander is ho jeez more consistent the not first of all just hold on a second. It's good. The cat's lander is crazy I didn't think cat could play defense like this And I think that is what is transformed this nix team also having cat up at the top of the key and running the pick and roll through him So he feels involved. It should become the focal point at all. Now what what what the spurs did was was really smart is they put like Some they put castle or somebody else on cat up at the key and they were kind of like denying him to ball and now you have when we can kind of float He like floats off a Josh heart now. Thank God Josh hit like four threes last game, which was amazing That's what we need to do to punish them for that, but like now when he's floating by the rim If we can pull when we out to a three-point line with cat cat will do when we dirty There's nothing when we can do to stop cat when he's going downhill nothing at all and then cats do on when we whenever they're one on one That's a guaranteed lock down from cat me cats beating them off the dribble Oh, that's it. That's it. That's it. There's no person on the first one of one that can get in front of cat and stop Why do I say I don't think he winded so fast like me. Yeah, French Just approaching me French What is that mean they built different out in Europe like he why does he always got five minutes? He got to go sit down. Why I don't get that You know what tell you probably right, but I mean it's probably tired like an a little bit behind. You know me right You're probably running up and down a lot but it's probably just that you know what I mean It's like you probably just his legs hurting I think we got to get cat going early We didn't do that and also Michele bridges got 2000 like the first few minutes. They had to yank him out That kind of stress if cat if cat scores 20 and Michele scores 18 the next one is We we we also gonna have and Jaylen hasn't had a great shooting game. You lose the whole series Yeah, but it's out in 25 which is great. Jaylen just gets you a bucket whenever you need but oh jeez I am fucking absolutely phenomenally. We're locking down defensively We got to stop giving up open threes to champ penny like it's you know He's a New Yorker so my heart kind of goes out from a little bit, but like You're not gonna lose to champ penny. You'll lose to Wendy you'll lose to that's pretty much it, but you're not going to let champ penny beat you My name's number castles of bees Those three like they are gonna be fun to watch for years to cum bruh They are gonna be fun to watch for years to come but not this year. We need the next to win this Yeah, it's just good for the league man. Yeah, it's good for culture It's good for culture. By the way, can we talk culture? I was having a conversation with somebody that pissed me off this week Oh You know how we keep having the conversation about wimby and how it's hard for a foreigner to be the face of the league But if anybody has a chance to do it. It's it's wimby. I'm not sure anymore bruh He will one day potentially have that but like this series exposed him. I'm gonna say why I don't see how number one you have to be phenomenally great. He's good. He's good and we've seen glimpses of greatness, but he's he's good. He has good games Um, still got a-
win, right? He's in the finals cool. But you still have to impact culture. What is when be doing to connect with culture? You all know what I mean when I say culture. Like Michael Jordan was culture. Number one, think about those Jordan ones when they first came out and how phenomenal they were. They just looked good. But you know, there's one thing people forget about those Jordan ones. They got banned by the India. Everybody forgets that because they didn't comply with the, I think the uniform colors and some shit like that. And so Nike said, fuck it. Let's run a campaign talking about how they were, how this shoe is bad. It was a simple act. Yes, rebellious. So now the hood already was on, but now everybody got to have them. That helps connect with culture. Then you get to, then big Michael just, first of all, Michael was otherworldly. That's the other thing, too, right? He was otherworldly on the court. So all of that happens. Then you get to Spike Lee commercials and all of that. You're connected with culture in ways that you still feel it today. What is Wimby doing to connect with culture? He's seven foot five. So you can't aspire to. I don't think big. She can ever do it dangly, right? I don't voice out. He's foreign. He's in the, he's walking around barefoot. I want to get a feel of my first win in the gun. You get the fuck out of here, yo. I mean, it is a gift, but ain't no grass in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's only called the garden. Yeah. I'm fucking garden for real. Okay. Okay. What the, why are we following for this type of shit? I want to take my shoes off and walk around the garden and get a feel of my first finals. Man shut the fuck up in the park drawing. Yeah. I ain't coach your bro. I ain't coach. Yeah. It's close to your bed. Yeah. Is he a good artist? What? Taylor, Taylor asked all the right questions. What do you know? I mean, we got these are the right questions. I don't know if he's a good artist or not. Okay. I just don't know a big that's ever been the face of the league. Yes, you do. Now, Shaq, Shaquilla O'Neal. Yeah. But Shaq was so transformative in terms of like, like his agility, his movement. He was cultured. And of course, he was dominant number. But about you got to be dominant. Yeah. You have to be dominant on the board. Yeah. You have to be dominant. No doubt who the man is on the court. Win or lose. That was Shaq. But also he was culture in every sense of the word. Shaq wrapped. He break dance. He was amazing in interviews. When you go back and watch Shaq interviews, now it's almost like watching the rock, bro. So on Coles, Steve, he just knew what to say when it was a microphone in his face. Also, he was in that movie. Shazam. No, which one? Blue chips. But also too. It's another good point. Van always says this. He talks about how when we watch you in college, you connect with you in a different way. We didn't see what Wimby was doing over there in France. Not so much anymore though. You don't watch it. I mean, 90 more, but back then, back then you watched Shaq get into his culture. I think he's just a different culture. So I think he's appealing to a different demographic. But what demographic is that? My kids love him. My daughter is obsessed with him. I don't believe. Yeah. I don't believe. Fascinated by Chris. I don't believe you. I was with Asian. I'm telling doing does relate to kids. True story. My daughter, I took my daughter to dinner on Saturday night, her and to her friends, Asian American and the Brazilian. And Dylan went to school like near there. So I forgot the school in Jersey, but he went to school near there. So they used to always see each other at the games and everything. And my daughter cheerleads with his sister. Dylan Harper sister. Yes. So one of the friends in the back seat is like, that the real tall guy on this verse is terrible. You know, the real, real tall one, he can't play. Like, and I'm sitting there thinking, God, he's actually the best player on the team. Well, being a they don't watch basketball. And they've only watched the finals for the first two games. They think he sucks. Imagine being the tallest person on the team and you don't know nothing about basketball. But you just think if your tall, you're supposed to be good and you think he's terrible. My point is they didn't even know his name, Chris. They just said the tallest person on the team is terrible. This is a 17 year old Asian American. All right. I mean, look, my daughter, 16, she watches a ton of NBA. She knows it inside out. And she loved that though. Yeah. I mean, he watched together. And she likes. She thinks when he's good, she thinks she's more fascinated by his personality more than I think. What personality? Got a lot of. No, he's got personality. It's just not culture. What is the person? I'm trying to well. I'm trying to see. He's not. He's your role. He's your role. He's your role. He's your role. I'm kind of hip hop bro. Like I didn't say hip hop. He's not. He's not hip hop. He's your role. Was that gay? Yeah. What is that what y'all saying to me? He's not. Other than sound like y'all the same. It's not not. It tells me like you say at night, you should come out with Jersey dresses. Forex. Bring back the Forex Jersey dress for Wimbee. Yo, that's what y'all want to win. Yo, what he wore like a dress to the to game one or something. Well, I was like a religious thing. Oh, it was religious thing. Oh, I saw that shit man. I saw that shit. I saw that shit. He was out there looking like a shalin punk. He was dressed like a shalin punk. I saw that shit. Listen, all I'm saying is this man. I need Wimbee to be more dominant. If y'all want to give him this face of the league shit already. If y'all already found him, where's the dominance? They're not giving him face of the league. Now, here's the real question. Yes. If the next win, do you give jail in the league? I think jailing gets it by I think he gets it because you don't have to think that's the other thing about face of the league. You don't you got it. People give you that. Like that's something that naturally organically happens. I can look at jailing and aspire to be like jelly. Just like stuff. These little guys, you know, when little guys win, it's different, bro. It inspires the nation. But hard, hard, hard had a quote about that because someone asked him about that the other day. He said one of the reasons the jailing is so great is he doesn't want any of that. Well, he doesn't court it. He doesn't the best way to get it, Chris. And that's and that's yeah. Jordan's never called himself to go. Well, I'm saying that's how he's become a great player because he's focused on what's happening on the court. He leaves it all alone. Now, what do you do when this mantle is handed to? He was another question, but like part of being the best is also wanting that kind of acknowledgement. He doesn't seem to give a shit to his credit. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, Jordan never wants to be called to go. He said he wanted the commercials. He wanted the Mars black man. He wanted all that sort of shit. Yeah. I mean, Jordan said, you know, there's no I and team, but there's an I and win. That's real though. But that's what that's what comes down to wanting to take the final shot. I want to know in those moments, which is Jalen by the way, Jalen man. When the last time we seen that, you know, we got to all respect the Braun, but Braun used to give it. Braun gives it up in the clutch for a lot of in a lot of moments. If I was to defend LeBron, I would say LeBron makes the right basketball play. So the right basketball play might be in that final moment to dish it to the open shooter that's on the corner, maybe, but in the last two minutes, all that shit goes out. My point is, he is making the right basketball play. But when it's the final shot of the game, the right basketball players have the best player on the floor shoot the shot and to the LeBron's credit, late in his career, he has gone down as one of the most clutch players ever. Early in his career, there's questions about it. And then something shifted. And then the back half of his career, he's been absolutely on fire. I give LeBron a lot of credit, man, especially now because being the face of the league is hard, bro. Like being the face of the league is hard. And the last time I saw this was after Michael Jordan retired, but the difference was, you had so many great players that felt like faces of the league. You still have, you still had Kobe, you still had Kobe, AI was still around. Like you still had all of these cultural figures that felt like faces of the league. Right now, everything is so fragmented, bro. The NBA does not have a face of the league. That's why it's so important that the nicks are in the NBA finals right now. This shit feels like the NBA. Now, for, for, to be the face of the league, do you need charisma as well? Yes. You need charisma, personality. You got to be dominant on the court. You got to connect with culture. Yes. So that's an interesting thing. Like, hard to give, Jalen, because you don't really give you much. Yeah, Jalen is more reserved when it comes to giving me mamba mentality, bro. No, no, no, he said the right things in the interview. He's a killer. Don't get me wrong. But like Charles Barkley had charisma out the ass when he was in the league. Very rare. He's very rare. Jordan, LeBron has charisma. Jordan ag charisma to Kobe. Kobe. Absolutely. I think they were killers. It was because they was killing. Like when I hear Jalen say, yeah, he won't even go. He hadn't even took on a picture with the Larry O'Brien trophy. But he's not commenting on it. Kobe would comment on it. He's saying no comment. The Larry O'Brien trophy is, is everywhere. It's ever present. It's on the set. It's next to the court. It's in rooms that you're asked to go and shoot promotional videos with. But you wouldn't go in. You didn't want to be near the trophy. Why? How's your hear about that? I know. I know. I know what's happening. It's a he'll comment. Comment after maybe the Larry O'Brien trophy's in reach. No comment. Kobe would be like, yes, I'll take a picture when it's mine. Like they would talk like that. So like again, Jalen not wanting it is probably what makes us want to give it to him so much. Yeah. But I wonder if in order to be the face of the league, you need to carry personality-wise like Aunt, for example, Aunt got the baby mom issues, but like Aunt has undeniable career.
and the league would love to just hand it over to him, but he's got some familial shit. There's some problem when you got little kids wanted to come watch the games. - Man, I'm not gonna make it to the finals. I mean, you got to win, man! You don't got to, you got to win, shows. - No, you have to win eventually. But like, AI never won. And AI had-- - And face of the league. - AI had, AI had culture. AI had us, you never had the league. You never wanted to give it to AI. - I'm not even sure Kobe had it, bro. - So that's the argument. - I'm not even sure Kobe had it. - Wait for it, so that's the argument. People in LA thought that Kobe was like the league and everything like that. But then he had his stuff with the cakes and whatever. And then LA still loved him, support him obviously because he's a phenomenal player. But like, you never looked at it like, "Yo, that guy's the face of the league." - And the NBA backed off. We forget. - Oh, absolutely. - And he lost a lot of endorsements. He lost big endorsements like McDonald's this shit. Nike never dropped them, but Nike couldn't make him the face of a lot of campaigns. - They had to wait a little second. - They had to wait a second. - And then Bronc comes in and all of a sudden Bronc's cooking. - And they thought Bronc's the thing. - The level of Kobe when they probably shouldn't have so fast, like, I think Afro Kobe had the league. I think Afro Kobe had the league here. - Nope, because he's battling with Jackson, his team for that time. Are you talking about when they won the champion? - No, no, you're talking about-- - No, you're talking about? - No, yeah, we're about. He went to the finals three times, three times. By the way, he was so dominant, you couldn't deny him. But even in that, it's like why wasn't he on the face of the dollar bill of the league at that moment? I don't know if he was. I couldn't be wrong. It didn't feel like-- - I think of somebody else who had the-- - I agree, I agree with Charlemagne in terms of sentiment. Like, I don't think Kobe didn't cross over to New York. Like, everybody acknowledged him as a great player. But after his death, and as we remember him, and what he achieved, there's this admiration respect. - It is. - While it was happening in the league, there weren't New Yorkers even during Jordan's heyday. They fucking hated the bulls because they were beating our ass. But we're still like, nah, that's the nicest ever. I don't think New York embraced New York. - New York had a lot of bandwagon-like offense because they wanted to be on the winning team. And Kobe was there-- - There was a thing with Kobe that was that felt sort of disrespectful. - If you say that quote, if you say he's the second, if he's the closest thing to Michael Jordan we've ever seen, then he should be the second greatest player of all time on everybody's list. It felt like that didn't happen until after he passed. When he was alive, it didn't feel like they was giving it up to him like that, you know? - That's what everybody passes. - I mean, if Bob Marley was alive today, he might be playing mode. He can sign this weekend, and nobody would give a shit. - Right. - Damn. - That's real. - What about Jordan? Explain Jordan? - You know, like-- - What explain, Jordan? - Jordan was something we've never seen before, man. - That's it. - Jordan gives all his props and thens them. - Like-- - Jordan was something. It's very rare that you get to be the king and it's acknowledged while you're in your prime. And Jordan was that guy, bro. - And that's why, I guess that's why the wimpy thing. - Yo, can I actually-- - It's Bob's thing. - It's just too early. - Nah, hold on, hold on. - Did Jordan really get it after he came back? - Nah. - Let me clarify the argument. The first three, I remember there being crazy, like beef and like the nicks. And obviously after he goes away, we go to the finals against the Rock. It's like something switched when he came back. One, we saw him lose, right? 'Cause he loses the first year that he comes back. And then we saw him win three straight. And I think there was this moment where you go, he could really do whatever he wants to do. Like the guy fucking tried to play baseball, came back, we saw him get humbled, and then goes and runs three again. And hits the game winning shot in the finals to cement it. I think there was this moment of submission from all of us where we're like, that's him. - I think he was-- - That's fucking him right there. - Yeah, I think he was faced with a league by his third year. - Yeah. - I think he was king when he beat Magic Johnson in his first finals. He was god after three beating the first time. When he came back, he became something that we didn't, I don't even know what you call that after that. - But it was that, it was like seeing, it was like seeing him be humbled by trying to come back. There was that, when he was wearing a 45 and like you saw him like dribbling and sometimes getting to the ball was talking. It was a little shocking. But it was the fact that you got to watch him lock in and then run three straight. You know what it really felt like? Now as you say that, you win three straight. The only thing that could stop Michael Jordan was life. He had to lose his father. He had to take a step back. And then when he came back wearing the 45, the 45 was good because it's Jordan, but it's not quite Jordan. And so when he lost, you're like, yeah, but he's going through a lot. And he didn't feel like he lost because of him. And felt because he was just trying to get back and to groove with his life. Once he came back that next year, oh my God. And then you win three more. You never lost in the NBA finals. You, when people never see you lose on a big stage, it's a different level of immortality, bro. The casuals are watching. Going back to what my daughter's friend said. All she knows of when beat us far is those two games she saw. So she can see. The casuals are watching them when they're seeing only greatness at the highest stage of the game. I'm telling you, there's something about seeing the greats vulnerable. There's something about seeing someone you admire, go through a rough patch and then have the resilience to come back and run the same thing you just did. Because I remember even my sentiment towards Jordan on that second three being different. I was room for them. I would never room for a bulls as an expand. And there was this version. I think I remember a series between Chicago and Indiana. Do you remember that that went to seven or something like that? And obviously I hated the Pacers, but I found myself kind of like hoping NJ avenged a Nick loss to Indiana or something like I was starting to put my hope in this guy that I hated as a next fan earlier in my life. I have to what is that I'd love to see in sports. What if Michael Jordan never retires? It's Bob's never gets killed, he never retires. Does he run eight in a row? That would have been incredible to watch. Not only does he run eight in a row, does he come back for a shortened season of the year after he retires and gets nine in a row. I don't know if he does, but could you imagine if we got the witness that and what if Tom Brady never lost the Super Bowl? And he's ten and no one's Super Bowl. Jesus Christ. So the Jordan thing is tricky, right? Because I don't know how it affected the team in him being away. Like were they able to get certain pieces? It might have breathed a little life into the situation. Did he think Tom was finals? No, I know they were good. I was asking to win every year. Yeah. And in some ways maybe that, just shaking it up a little bit, kind of got everybody else back engaged. And also like you put some respect on him, right? It's like, okay, he went away. We got far, so we're nice. He's got to respect us. But also we know that there is a difference maker when it comes to-- That's why I don't like this conversation about Scotty now. And salute to Scotty. But I don't like the conversation that they be having about Scotty like Michael Jordan couldn't ever do it without Scotty. Well, I think MJ even says that. But he does, but we saw what Scotty did with a full squad, right? Because all they do is come back at MJ, right? I mean, well, yeah, they came back and had MJ, but then they got Robin. But I'm saying that year that Michael wasn't there, MJ takes that squad to the finals and probably wins, bro. And Scotty was almost, should have been the MVP that year. He was phenomenal. Nominal. I don't remember enough, but yeah, that's it. It all came down to he-- He missed that final. No, no, he sat. He sat out, he wouldn't check in, because they didn't run the final play forum. They ran it for Kukos. Kukos. And that kind of stained his legacy. But the fact is, he had an MVP caliber. Year, he was amazing without Jordan. Damn. I mean, Scotty was a fantastic player, bro. Very good. Speaking of Tom Brady, are you going to drink his nut? Well, you're crazy. Crazy. What? Can't wait. What's this? You're not going to drink Brady's nut? I see you. Tom Brady just dropped his own coconut water brand called Good Nutt. Damn. All right, everybody, get him some quiet, because y'all know y'all drink Brady's nut. When Brady's sending a case up here, you're going to drink Brady's nut, bro. Just fucking admit it. I will. Yeah, no you will. You're not going to-- I'm launching another celebrity shelter brand. No, no, I'm launching a brand new coconut water. It's actually really good. Oh, what's it called? So we called coconut farmers in Vietnam for this one, which, when you care about ingredients, it's kind of a huge deal. Not who you called, what's it called? You called me. OK, just tell me what it's called, Tom. When you have a product this good, it doesn't matter what it's called, OK? Yeah, it kind of does. I'm a ditty for Matt here in jail right now. Like, I know Diddy was going to come up with a concoction with some sriracha and that good fucking nut, man. Like, can you imagine-- I think Diddy wants it from the tap. Don't you-- I don't even want mine in the can. Take me to the distillery talk.
- You took it home. - Take it to the fucking industry. I want to take that to the fucking tap. - Okay, man, how can we grow up when shit like this is happening? - I don't know. - I just think about all of the dirty humor, all the cringey humor. Now, people are making fucking money off shit like this. - Yeah, that's right. - This is a great marketing campaign. You know how many drinks have probably launched in the last year? Do you remember any of them? - Nope. - But you know Tom Brady got a drink called Good, Good. - Right now. - Oh man. - Come on, Alex. - I mean, I don't drink coconut water so I try to drink it. - Well, that's why you're not hydrated. That's why you're sitting on a little bit of a shit. - You know what I'm saying? - You shit. - Wait, you know what I'm saying? - I know what I'm saying. - Coconut water is good for you. - I don't even say, it wasn't good. You just said, I don't drink coconut water. - And he was like, you ugly, you ugly for that. That's why you look like you, like you look. - I'm just saying, man, shout out to Brady for having some nice cold good nut for people to drink. - Coconut water never gets. - It's not good though. - No, I like coconut water. I just don't think it gets cold enough. I'll just decide to, when you're talking about the tap, drinking it from the coconut is great. Yeah, but like coconut-- - Yeah, from the, yeah. - Well, you drink it from the actual-- - Yeah. - From what? - Coconut? - Coconut. - That shit is good, Joe. - So you prefer to actually drink the nut. - I like it all, can. - You want it right from the nut? - Yeah, I mean, it's great, yummy. - You want the liquid from the nut. - From the nut. - Get it or tool me right in my hand. I wanna hold it. - Follow it. - This, you know what I'm saying? - Do you swish it all? - You swish it around your mouth a little bit. - Oh, yeah. - You got to just the same with a flame with just a little bit. - Yeah, you like the flame from it. - You know what I mean? - Yeah. - I hear you, man. - Speaking of that, do you think of the taste of. - Yeah, yeah. - What? - The vein on the bottom, my dick is like a scratch and sniff. - Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay. - Yeah. - Like you're not really getting all the flavor unless you like, you know, having a scratch and sniff shaffer is crazy. - Yeah, you got to rub it a little bit and then the flavor comes out. There's a lot of flavor down there. That's why the vein is on the bottom, so you can get all the flavor. - I'm being serious. Tastes like athlete's foot. (laughs) - What else you got? - You haven't scratched your balls of smell, your finger and be like, "Yo, what are these women now?" - Do it. - I don't even know. - Yeah, put these wrong with these women, man. - I've been doing that. - Yeah. - You know, it's so cool. Why do we do that? - Why does your ball smell like I know hair on it? - No, it's a different odor though. - Oh, really? - Yeah, it's actually a good sip. But I wash. Why don't you wash it? - You wash it? - Like, why don't you wash? - Wash, but I live in New York, it's intimidating. It's a lot of, I go, you know, where you're walking around. There are girls that are meeting guys at the club. - Maniacs. - It's an all-night maniacs. - 90 degrees, ball-swetting. - Maniacs. - Sucking it down. - Maniacs. Maniacs. - These women are crazy. - Maniacs. - Yo, we gotta do that name. - We're like, now that we're married, we make sure that no guys get ahead again. - No, no. - Yo, these women are insane. - I think guys are insane. Because think about it like this, man, especially in the entertainment business, right? People will be at work all day, like, literally, early in the morning to like five, six o'clock. There's an industry party that might start like, right from where? - You're going right to that shit, taking a little whole bath somewhere. Then you might end up with your legs spread at around 10, 30, 11. You ain't been home all day, nasty. - Nasty. Like, what the fuck? - Yo. - You're hitting it from the back. You see some like corporate toilets. - Oh, my God. - You're gonna sing the ply, you judging her jaw. - Man, you know what I'm saying? - Where do you work? - Where do you work? - Where do you work? - About single five days. - I'm trying to pick these things off as disintegrating in my fingers. (laughs) What's your job? - Then you start thinking about it like, yo, you ain't been home all day? - You haven't been home all day, 'cause I know you don't have this toilet paper. - Yo, you can tell where a girl live. Back in the day, you can tell where a girl live, around 10, 30, 11. Because she was at work all day. Went to the little industry party, came back with you with like 10, 30, 11. Took off the leggings. - You're like, woo, woo, woo. - You was living Queens. - Woo, you can get balance. (laughs) - Oh, you live far from your job. (laughs) - Oh, you can't go home in between work and the function. - Yeah, I see. - If you live in Brooklyn, and you work in Manhattan, better to free me, okay? - Yeah, 'cause you go home and switch. - Or if I don't, I don't forget about it. - Broke his time. - Also, now if they don't have the thong on, if they don't have the thong on, if they got nice underwear on, they went home after work. But if they got the regular panties on a Friday, you're like, oh, you have this fucking showered in at least 18 hours. This is absurd. You don't even have like a slinky thong at work. - You guys suck. - Why do we suck? We're just giving people proper New York City yet again. I'm just trying to tell you, yo. All these young kids want to go out. They don't want to be thinking about that. - They need to be thinking about it. - They need to think about it. - You don't want to be known as stink big Steve. - Yo. - Also know your words. - Pungin, Pungin, Pungin, Pungin. - Pungin, Pungin. - Know your worth, Kings. There's a lot of girls out there with no air condition. (laughing) - I don't think a lot of dudes know that. There's a lot of girls you're talking to at the bar, trying to buy a drink. They just want 72 degrees Fahrenheit. - I'm trying to tell you. - And you got 72 at the crib. - And you know what I'm saying? - Just say, hey, you want to come back. - I know. - Listen, there's a lot of girls that have traded a sweet dick suck for some 68 degrees Fahrenheit. - Absolutely right. - Hey, hey. - Absolutely right. - You tell a lot. - You think she getting naked just because she motherfucking want to have sex. No, she's trying to air out. (laughing) - That shit is human-town, man. Get some AC and this motherfucking pussy. God damn it, I don't get it. - That's how it is. - You don't know what you have. It's been a building, they got central air. Start with that club. Don't air can I get to a drink, say can I get you some air condition? - Can I get you air-conditioning central air? - I got central air. - Central air. Any room in the all apartment, it's gonna be 68. - Oh man. - That's, women don't think about that type of shit, yeah. - They do when, in New York, when summer comes 'cause they don't realize they don't have an AC. And then once that, what, bleh, eh, eh, eh. - I know Monday night was rough. People had to be at the game, two hours early. And for those people who probably thought, I'm gonna get to go home, freshen up a little bit, come back into the city if possible. They had to fucking be at the game by four or five of fucking clock. - Bunkie, punk. - Bunk, gang, punk. - Anger, anger man's all sad. - You can't come to the game smelling like the lock of 'em. - No, it is a disrespectful thing. - Do you find that disrespectful? If you get back to the house and you start hooking up with a guy, this isn't a previous life for you. Obviously, you're a mother, you're, you know. But, do you find disrespectful? If you guys start hooking up and then the guy's like, yo, let's hop in the shower. (laughs) Is that disrespectful to you? Do you find that as a-- - You know what's even more disrespectful? - Yeah. - Yeah, why don't you hop in the shower? (laughing) (laughing) - We, you can kind of play, we, oh. - When they say yo, can you? - Yo, why don't you hop in the shower? - Why don't you hop in the shower real quick? - Why don't you hop in the shower? You did a double, you did a double today? You were two shifts? (laughing) Why don't you hop in the shower? - By the way, I think that is actually something men should say. Because, man, no, nothing levels set the mood like that shit, all right? Okay, when you tell a woman that she needs to take a shower? - Oh my God, bro. - What do you think happens after that? - I mean, you're wishing your command after that 'cause she's so embarrassed. - Oh. - She gonna go hard. - You know what I was saying? - It's a, it's a, it's a role of the dice. - Now, if she goes and takes that shower, she's going. - Oh. - You're gonna have to hear about her life for at least the rest of the night. - Yeah, 'cause she had it, she's been going through it. - Exactly, she got it, now she got explain it to you. Oh, thank you for telling me, it's been rough, you know what I'm saying. - I had a, I told a girl that she has some mustache on her and she started telling me about job difficulties. (laughing) - I'm a certain fun that kind of do it in her mustache. - I'm trying to tell you why she can't afford a mustache. - I don't know what she's trying to tell me. It's like, yo, what are we talking about? - No, man, I wasn't the artist enough. - She's like, yo, my, my, my, yeah, my, what was that book that talked about, "Megs"? I don't know, oh, the game, the game, with the game. - I wasn't even doing for that reason. - I know, but that's it, whether you was being honest, but that's a nag. - I know, but I wasn't doing it for that reason, man. I was like, yo, you were looking, you gotta take care of that. And she hit me with like, listen, it's been toughing. - What? (laughing) - I'm between jobs. - I'm trying to tell you, that's all you gotta do. You tell the girl she gotta take a shower and she need to shave with something you're gonna hear about in her life, bro. - But then, you know what I mean? - But then. - But it's all and after that. - It is all. - It's all, after she washes. After you give a little reason, shave it for. - I told her I would fuck it. - Fire. - I was like, I'll fuck. - Fire, I'm fucking a woman's mustache. - I'll do it. - I'm here with waxing off. - I said, listen, I suggested all these different, 'cause I thought maybe she didn't know how to do it. So I was like, you can wax it, you can get the mayor and she was like, stop. I know, like, I know what I can do. - Like, you know the educate me on this process. I'm going through a little time in my life. - Damn. - I was like, that's two of us. Did you still, did you say, after you gave your head, you said, thank you, sir. (laughing)
Thank you, sir. I appreciate you. Thank you for the good night. Um, what else we got? Taylor gang Taylor gang gang We run it through these all memes matters. Um, I don't know if you want to talk about Charles Barclay Yeah, I'm a little badly, so he made a comment to which Cardi B came to us on Cardi B's as Cardi D's and he was saying that he wants to Meal Bogley say I don't know The level of life where he's like fucking If you wear in a if you wear an outfit with like a lot of your boob is Out and projected there shouldn't be considered like disrespectful to comments on it Not a group chat. I mean, I had a couple of group chats that was commenting on it. What were they saying? What was the best one? It was I don't I saw one was like to Cardi's titty the titty and I'm like bro relax bro Cardi's family And the next post was like shame my family Like that's how I went it was like Cardi's titty the titty and I was like, yo bro chill yo Cardi family I said that I thought he and my family. I was like God damn said that wants to grow. I was dating girl. She had a twin sister And I was like yo if you guys ever you guys ever like Done something with with the dude and she was like With my sister I was like, yeah, and she's like that's incess and I said For y'all I mean that's if they're not enough. I mean if you can twin probably always got told to share everything growing up Right, you know, I'm saying they're basically the same person I don't even know if we consider that incess this base is just like jerking off. So I said he got fired What do you say? Okay, so He said he wouldn't care if they got fired or something like that. You can't fire some if she's got them out If she's got a mouth, you can't fire. Let me hear it me. What's all that? Did you I mean, it's like be it looks like bees to me, Dan who look like like these to me Does anybody say anything to you When's last time management or somebody said chuck can't say that Then you know, I'm hoping they fire me You know, I got six years. I got six or seven years left with my contractor. They know I got no chance of doing I would love for them to fire me and have to pay me for the next six to seven years Talked that talk talk. You know, I was talking to my agent. I was like what can I do to get fired? But they have to pay me for the whole six seven years. Yeah, this and freedom Friends. Yeah, I would love to get fired. I'm not gonna lie Yeah, but I could like to say there's no there's zero See guys, I'm gonna be the world party be party these the next six seven years zero So I know if they farm and they would have to pay me all those years And I heard to the great vine that I make great money. So thank goodness for that But yeah, they did come on man people can't take a joke they can kiss my ass Be the world I expected how amazing is it to hear someone truly not give a fuck Listen to say it out out But also that's his part-time job. He does that shit once a fucking year for gambling money You see what I was saying. Yeah, like that's his part-time fucking job But it was beautiful to like it's just beautiful to see some of that position So many people are like dying to be on inside the NBA and have that be their job and be the next commenter And they want to make sure they you know have the funniest joke or whatever But it's also smart just for child to have a guaranteed contract But I mean you know I'm saying when when you when you are willing to not do it You can require things like that And also when you're somebody like Charles Barclay who knows when you say certain things they're gonna cause a firestorm Hey, so y'all why wouldn't you have a guaranteed contract? Oh come on man. So I got to Charles Barclay I don't you know, I mean it's like he's yeah, he's the only thing that problem with it is that Cardi's so young Wait, what's in there? She says yeah, but Charles is the don't do this because y'all we y'all you child is almost 70 years old What's your over 30 years? What's your over 30 years? There's nothing no, no, no, no, no, what I got to do that a hundred-year-old guy with a third. I don't have a problem with it I'm just telling you what I can see why people would probably say it's like oh your nasty old man But she's over 30. She's not I get it, but did to them. He's old and she's young What people are looking like that. No, if once you're over 30 Is the same age It's not is it? No, it's not Oh no, hold on now hold on now What's your over 30 so when you see Bill Bellicek with his little young thing? She's now over 30. Oh, is he 24 or something like that really?

I hope I got that right. What's never choked again Taylor? Hmm. Damn. We are warning today, man. We Oh, I know it that's what it's okay. We're never choked. We don't judges. Huh? Oh, not as hilarious. I saw this You know, I just don't want you. We got this hand on his back It is a prank But the prank is on the patrons so they just watch it and it's dude. But what's mad funny is none of them get up to be like no, let me save them You know fit now you know what I mean funny is if he would have did this But like, he tries to do the Heimlich.

You don't just what you can't make a fun of it And I was trying to you can't shit on somebody. I wouldn't try to shoot with him The other type of person to shoot somebody and try to get all the opportunities. Yes Yeah, all the opportunities that God gives me. I'm great. That's right. I don't think it's out of gold to like You go I'm the lead character intake
- You can care of both of my children. - There he is. - Actually, I'm a co-star in that one, too. - It's not gonna happen, it's not gonna happen. - I'm gonna say, uh, she's a lead, bro. - You the star. - No, you're the star. - She's a lead, bro. - Okay, when you directed, you wrote it, you know what I'm saying. - I financed it. - You produced it and stuff. - You know what I'm saying, I'm just an agent. - It's the truth. - No, it's true. - You cast her. - I cast. - You're free.

I've got a lot of good stories. - Well, there was an article that came out that said, I got five New York Times bestsellers in the row, but who's counting? - Um, little John will be out October 10th. And also, you know, Arsenio Hall is still available right now, his memoir. And, yeah, check out the Breakfast Club on Netflix, man. Make sure you suit everybody. - Being live on Netflix is so fun, bro. - Oh, like you felt an actual difference? - Yes, the live now pops up. I get notifications. - I'll do. - Oh, okay, okay. But it's just fun. Like it's like this morning, right? Like Sheryl Underwood is doing the view. - Sheryl's great. - So Sheryl came to the show. Oh, she told me she was going to join us today. - She did a flagrant. - So she came to the show and we were recording an interview. But as we're recording the interview, we had to go live. So she was just still there. I'm just like, you know, this is going to go live. So we just live there with Sheryl. 'Cause all of those things that happen on a regular basis, like the basis, like the regular things that happen behind the scenes on the show. - Yeah. - People get to see that. - That's fire. - 'Cause we're live for three hours straight. Like, we're not, there's no breaks. Like, so even when we're not on air, we're still in the studio talking. What if you use the bathroom? Like obviously they'll stay there with Lauren and Anne. - Yeah, I got to do it. - I got to do it. - Wow. - They're not coming with me to the bathroom. I mean, I could have taken them if I wanted to. - Yeah. - That'd be kind of weird. - Let them slide that weird. - That man. - Why would he bring him to the bathroom? - I can't believe it. It might not be 'cause, you know how you-- - Stop, Taylor. This time, just stop. - What? - Stop. - They want to see you wipe that bus. - No, but he takes it all as close off. - What? - You don't remember this? Remember he's saying he takes this. He gets fully undressed to do. I want to know what Taylor thinks I'm adding my life. Did I need to get butt naked? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm saying, no, they're not looking at it. It'll be funny if you gotta go and there are the cameras in there and you just see clothes coming out of the store. - No, that wouldn't be funny. That'd be cheap and like, who the fuck do you think I am? Like, what the fuck? What if I'm not accomplished in my life? That Taylor would think I have to do some shit like that? - I don't think I would ever have to hold myself out like that, you know what I mean, but if I'm doing shit like that, shit has gotten really bad. Shit has got really, really, really, really rough. What else we got Taylor? - We always want to go back to these 'cause there's another one. - Oh, shout out to George, man. Shout out George, dude, I gotta shout out George. - George? - Your boy, George Winn. - Oh, Granny. - Granny. - Granny, Granny. AKA academics TV, AKA Drake's intern, he's over that page as well. It was funny, man. The one of the funniest things I saw from last week, they had a video and the video said, - Wait, did you guys mend things? Are you guys friends now? - I don't know him. I don't care, but the funniest thing was, I saw this video and it said, Charlemagne Panics. As DJ I could, did you see that one Taylor? - Yeah. - You got that pull out, that was hilarious. - Let me see. - That was funny. I'm not going for it, that was funny. You panicking what way? - They did a close-up when they all was talking about it. - I'm just sitting there watching the video for Nate's nomenade. People, they were like, "I've never seen Charlemagne sit straight up in his seat before." Like, what the fuck? Let's play this, Taylor. Come on, Taylor, gang. Let's get a worldwide niggin' that somethin', man. Not like, not like, I like you. - I like makin' things happen in the worldwide niggin'. - Don't even have like, but still very bad. - I'm saying. - But like. - Then we got the still version? No, it's pretty bad. - I know, but when I was searching, I didn't save it. - It says, "Charlemagne gets visibly nervous when referred to as DJ Khaled by academics." Look, look, look, look, look. Let me see, let me see. - The messenger, you either win me against me. No DJ Khaled's around my book. - Did he set the fuck away? - Oh, what? You did take a deep swallow right there, brother. - I can't swallow a ghost right there, and I want the ghost now. - I can't eat a messenger, you either win me against me. - I think you might just shut up. - I'm gonna tell you what was funny about, look at that goat right there, bro. You gotta work on your gulp when you're nervous. - I gotta work on my gulp when I'm nervous. - You gotta find a way to mask your gulp when you're nervous. I gotta work on my gulp when I'm nervous. - Tell me. - I'm gonna tell you what's funny though. - Yeah. - Hold on one second. Hold on. - No man, I'm just saying, I saw some panicking last week. - Uh-oh. - Uh-oh, tell me now. - I saw some panicking. - Tell me now. - Yo. (beeping) - Can you ask whoever edited the episode, not to dox my pic, Charlotte mentioning crypto, not trying to get my home invaded. - Oh shit. - Uh-oh, shit, hold on. - Uh-oh. - Who's panicking? - I saw something, hold on, hold on. - Said I'm cooperating and that I stole four million from Ak, was a three hour call from Charlotte. And Ak was like he was mad because he no longer controls narratives and Ak's clips all over the timeline. Then said he's a part of it. Charlotte working with them in this rock nation, trying to harass with lawsuits because no way any of these lawsuits and investigations real, haven't spoken to anyone. - Ak said it's Charlotte. (laughing) - Where are you, where are you? How you doing this? How you throwing your man under the bus? Will you get in this information? - I show, yo George win. Oh, uh, Ak called me right away after telling me he's cap. And then a day later Jeremy head comes out with the same info that Charlotte has saying Ak funded by Republicans and Drake is Trump funded and he's also doxing me. So Ak tells me take the gloves off. - What the fuck George? That's George Dex and then? - George win? How do you get? - It's a challenge. - Oh no. - Why doesn't George want to be out? - How do you know? - Well, why doesn't George win want his picture out? How can George get on academics TV? - How can. - George get on the internet and have all of these people say the most delicious wild shit about folks, but he doesn't want his picks out. He thinks people are doxing him. Are you serious? - And why? Why is he so afraid of crypto? - What's wrong with why? - I don't know. - I feel like he's saying why? - He thought Charlotte mentioning crypto not trying to get my home invaded. Why would your home get invaded? George win in Australia? (laughing) Why would your home get in there? I just don't understand why his home would get invaded shows. I'm just trying to figure this out, man. - Tell me all get along. - I'm just trying to figure this out. - I think we all get along. - Why can't we all get along? - I don't have any issues, okay? I just think it's funny that. I just think it's funny that people get sent things about folks, you know, getting money via crypto. - Guys, it could be violating the legal gambling laws. - This is what I was told. - I was told that there could be a legal gambling laws. It could be money laundering. I don't know that I choose, it could be wire fraud. It could be conspiracy charges. It could be a potential campaign or advertising disclosure violations. This is what I'm hearing. So when I see somebody say they don't want their picture out there and they're afraid of being attached to crypto same things like their home invaded, that sounds like some panic into me, buddy. You know, that's all I'm saying. You know the wire. You guys ever watched the-- - I'm wearing one. (laughing) - I'm fucking wearing one. I'm wearing one right now. - Remember the dude who got out of prison, right? And now he's free again. - Oh man. - The original dude that was selling and then Marlow came in and took over some of the corners. - Okay, okay. - And the original dude, the way the dude that Stringer was working for her, and then he got locked up and then he came back. Do you remember that? - Can I tell you something and don't judge me? - Yeah. - I've never seen the wire. - All right, I'm not judging. My point is, he came back and Stringer was like, "Yo," and I think Stringer was basically on some shit like, "Yo, let's go legit. "Like, we can find a ways around and blah, blah, blah." And he was like, "I want my corners." Damn. He does you. - No, it's not. - That's you love this shit. - I was mine in my fucking bill. - But that's the thing. I don't think people realize like, I was mine in my business. - I don't think people realize this is your loveling. - I was, this is your favorite thing. Chaos is your thing. - I was in mind in my business. - Ooh, read what I sent you, that guy. - Hold on, no, I was minding my business. I called Acke to give him a heads up to what was coming. And for whatever reason, his man, George decided to go at me and start flipping on me and then told on Acke, quick, Acke. I'll send you these text messages if you need them, Acke. If you wanna see for yourself, if you wanna see how your man said that, you told him to take the gloves off, okay? If you wanna see for yourself, I just don't understand why he would be out here saying, he doesn't want his picture out there.
'cause he doesn't want to be doxed. You stayed a wildest shit about people. The difference between me and you is, I don't give a fuck what you're saying about me. What you care about what I say about you, George. Why don't you want to be connected with crypto? Now I need to know more. Okay, now listen. And I talked, that article that I told y'all about last week, the name of the newspaper is mixin' five. Six. The age, the age is the name of the media outlet. If you read the article, George, in the article, they literally say we had private investigators on George. What the fuck is that guy doing in Australia? That a media outlet in Australia wanted to put private investigators in it. Can it not be that the memes are fire? I don't know what it is. What if it's the memes are fired? But another thing that I told, and I told y'all this last week, which y'all don't pay attention to shit, hold on. Let me get the exact wording right. 'Cause I want, I like to be clear about what I tell folks. I told act, the crypto accounts are flag too. I don't know what that means. But I know your boy George is like, please don't mention me with no crypto 'cause you don't want to get his home invaded. That's what he said. That sounds like some panic into me, buddy. It's easy to hide behind memes. Can we all, can we all bring some bread and have some fun? Taylor, do you have the audio of when the investigators visited George when academics and them was on screen? Do you have that in Aiden Ross? At some Apple academics, like the lawyers are at the crib, they're saying, how long? The lawyers, how the fuck up? I run Grand Wizard Chat and I got, I'm a big meme page. Is that blurry? I don't have time to run these other pages. What do you got? What do you not understand here? Have you never heard of social media? Can't blurry? What the fuck? Let's skip to one hour and nine minutes. I'm good about the other chat. Chat Rose, who worked with you and I worked with you. Wait, what? I'm friends with Aiden Ross and Drake. I hire a hundred interns. Chat Rose? I only go by Chat Negas. I'm not saying that word, so. Who is that? And you know that we talked to them already. Blur, you're Grand Wizard? What? What? Oh, I'm the only Grand Wizard. No, that's no wake off of them. Yo, who is the life story with you to chat? Negas, man, hold on. There's literally no way Blur is Grand Wizard. Tell you. Yo, by the way, yo, yo, ma'am, whoever you are, I don't train my A.I. to say that. That's not enough for now. How the fuck academics do? I'm so confused. I'm gonna do that. Grand Wizard. They're politically correct. Like, why me? Blur, you know what I mean? They never say this in public. What the hell going on? No, I'm not saying Blur, I have to make a big move. Cause I see Blurry. I don't get it. Wait. It seems like you don't have anything. Yo, come off, come off, Grand Wizard's text me. He said, Aiden, they're outside my house. Three cars. Oh god, I'm gonna call him, I'm gonna call him. I'm calling Grand Wizard. Negas, don't I think you're staying in Australia? That's what they got as Adieu. Eugene's rock nation got him. Ah, don't call them. That's fuck, no, no, yo. You need me blow my cuff for you, Grand Wizard. I got you cause you always pulled me out of your face. Shut up. Shut the fuck up. Interviews, right? I know you, I know you know we've had the right. Cause they, I, in fact, I'm certain you know that. Bro, come on, come on. Look at my, bro, I ain't gonna lie. This is getting bad. Look at my, look at my, this next hero. You mean, actually, don't have an hour now, look. What do I have there? Show me. Look, bro. By the way, TET. They've been told. This is where they stream it. He's. I'm not clicking on no Chris here. It's called social media management. Stop assuming things. Wait, are you saying you, you hire people to thought for you or that you hire people to, do you guys meet in this court and talk about these campaigns? Wait, I'm being accused of this too. Listen. I gotta call Drake. So how the fuck I get this was October, 2025, investigators went to George's house. They're on screen listening to the investigators at George's house. Drake says that he, somebody from Kendrick's team pressed him and told them they had private investigators on him. The age, the outlet from Australia in the article said they had private investigators on George. How the fuck, then how the fuck I get into this shit? This was October last year. How do I have all of a sudden? How was it me? Charlottes, man. Obviously you're the architect of all this. Sure. Obviously rock nation and Kendrick's team work for you, obviously you're the guy in charge of all this. Absolutely right. Absolutely right. Great power comes. Great responsibility. We can't possibly put that responsibility on those individuals that you said they're not powerful enough. How many number one bestsellers does Jay-Z have on his book list? A lot. All I know is the Law of the North Australia, you got a book label? Yes, he does. Well, I don't know if you got a book in front. But the Law of the North Australia are different. They don't have first amendment laws. They take that crypto and that motherfucking, that other shit, very serious. So I'm just telling you, illegal gambling laws, money laundering statues, wire fraud, conspiracy, charges, potential campaign, or advertising disclosing. What did y'all do to him? You know, in fact, hey, I'm just saying, but when they put the video up, and they say, what is this y'all, do you know what this y'all are doing? When they said, "Shall I mean?" It's panicking. Yeah, yeah. Who sound like they're panicking more? Me and George. George? Would every y'all do, just not. It's not worth it. I'm just saying. I'm just saying it's not worth it. All jokes aside. Yeah. It has nothing to do with me. It is above me. Shall I mean, don't even care. All I'm telling y'all is, just sit back and watch how this shit plays out. All I tried to do was try to warn every fucking body, yo, and I'm gonna tell you this shit again, watch the people around you, because that motherfucker threw you under the bus. Accent, he ain't got nothing to do with this, Accent, that this is all his act told me that. Accent, they think that you are trying to expose him with a rock nation, so that's why he's getting at you in that way. That you're connected to rock nation? Yes. So, Accent, that's why that guy is doing that. Accent, Accent, Accent, you don't have nothing to do with what Grant was doing. What benefit do you get out of that? None. That's my whole point. Do you make money off of rock nation or anything like that? You doing what? Will you tell me? I don't make money off. Nobody can pay me to do anything. Nobody. That's not true. Who? I could pay you, not me, but somebody pays you to do the radio in the morning. That's my job. That's my career. You can't pay me for my opinion. You can't pay me to like something I don't like. You can't pay me to endorse something. God. I'm not feeling it. I hear it just. Like, that's not like, no, like, not no Democrats, not, nobody, if I'm doing something with somebody is because we won't together. I believe in what that individual is doing. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Yeah. But why y'all don't want, why y'all don't want to ask questions about George Wynn, man, Grant with a chat, nigga, aka, academics, DB. Why does he not want his picture out there, bro? I don't know, but like, why does he not want to be, he's like, why did he say, "Shallow's talking to some crypto shit. I don't want my house invaded." Y'all don't think that's strange? Can I be honest? Go act under the bus so quick. Can I be honest with you? I don't want to lose that page. I don't see how y'all can trust somebody like that. But I'm not even lying to you, like, that's like something really, like, and I saw, I actually that shit, the divide and conquer, I don't divide and conquer what. I'm just thinking I'm giving you the heads up on something. But now after what I done seeing the past couple of weeks, I know I was writing and giving you the heads up on something. Look how fast he threw act under the bus, bro, and then did it in text. His name, George, ran with him, like, what the fuck? You did this in text? You said, I told you to take the gloves off in text messages. What are you saying? I thought that's your guy. I got his back, but he don't got to act back. And you think that man didn't fold the investigators? Oh. So there is an investigation. Listen. I told y'all what I told y'all. I don't have to call him a coy, aka chat nigga. He's from North Carolina, black guy. All right. You want to see his picture? No, no, no. You want to see what you want next time? What you want, man? What you want? Bro. Now, it looks older. I go. By the way, those guys all jump side. Small fries. But what always happens? Yeah. The small fries got first. Because sometimes people give up the small fries in order to save themselves. What else we got to tell him? Tell him. Tell him. Tell him. Tell him. Tell him to sell. Listen. This is a bad guy. I am not. I am the nicest guy. Let me talk to him. No. Let me talk to him. Let me talk to him. Let me talk to him. I'll be out here just trying to bring folks together. I don't about the nose. There's a reason why. There's a reason why he's trying to cure mental illness. Don't let his mental illness be used for bad. This is what people don't realize. For good. For whatever. I go to therapy to care. You need to learn how to feel empathy. You need to learn. I don't like when shit is burning around me. This is warm. You know what I mean? I don't want to, I don't want to live where they are. - Nice to be with you. - That's, I've all,
As long as I've known you, chaos is your comfort zone. I, when shit is too normal, I'll be hanging out with you sometimes and shit is too normal. And you'll just say something inappropriate. It's not shit, man. We could be having a lovely lunch. Everybody getting along. Everybody's wise to have the great conversation. And you'll just look at the white person on the table if I go say the end word. (laughing) - Or if I hate you guys. - You said you can go. - Yeah, that's it. (audience laughing) - And if you don't even know the white guy. - You know, when he's talking, I don't know. - And I would never say anything like this. - Or everybody else comes to feel comfortable. And all of a sudden, he'll just fall back in his seat. He's not even part of the conversation anymore. There's a little warmth. - Or what you do is when you're not ready to like really talk about something, you just like try to find something on other people and just pick one then. - That's fun. (laughing) - It's not hot. - We all might be guilty. - I was coming to the studio and I know you want to say something else but you just try to hit this track. I guess you're mind or something. I don't know. - We need a big dinner where we have a nice dinner and everybody gets along and we just bring the internet back together. Let's have a lovely happy place. - Man, why can't we have a lovely - We need to clean the internet up. - Well, I do agree with that. The internet needs to clean the internet up. It is too much bullshit, too much paid. - What they say, smear campaigns, too much paid. - Now what they say? - Buy campaigns. - 51% of the, what was the statistic? - I got it right here, buddy. - There's some wild shit. - Hold on, I got it right here. Hold on. The other shit you sent me was fascinating too. - Which one? - Okay, bots have now passed human traffic online. So this loud flare boss, layman, says agent, agent tick traffic wasn't expected to eclipse real people on traffic, which means they're not actually real. - Yes. - These are bots. - If not bots, they're bots interacting with other bots. So this is dead internet theory. That eventually the entire internet will be consumed with bots interacting with each other and that normal people won't even be really interacting on the internet. And right now it's basically saying what? 51% of it is that? - 57.5 versus 42.5% bot automated versus human HTTP request. And that's according to cloud fair data. - Y'all online arguing with bots, yo. I was thinking about that other day when you sent me that article about, we're not an article that was real about the do, what's the guy's name? The guy that is the owner owns all the clippers? - All on. - Look at that text. - There's a guy who owns the clippers or it's a big clipping form. - Eddie, Eddie Comberbatch? - No, no, let me look. Eddie Comberbatch, we can start the video. It's fascinating. But basically he bought like a bunch of clippers. So he has all the clippers. I'm gonna just say it. The truth is, no one just goes viral. Everybody's doing mass clipping. Like all the streamers and everything, they pay clippers. - Have y'all been noticing like less clips? You know what happened? All the clippers, they sold out. You make us work for Eddie. - And I said to Eddie, I said listen, let's steal the clippers through Twitch. It's like, hey, just give me a bunch. You give me a number. I want all the clippers. Eddie was just clippin' for all everyone. Tell 'em who pay 'em double. - Yep, that's me. I'm Eddie. It's over the last few months I've been stealing all of the clippers. I run one of the biggest clipping agencies in the world, propaganda media, and we have over 100,000 clippers. In the last few weeks alone, we've generated over 300 million views for our clients. Literally everyone and their grandmother is starting to pay clippers. Which means being a clipper is one of the greatest ways to make money online right now. - Not with thinking about this the other day, right? I was like, what's better? When you have an interview or conversation that goes virally, organically, are one that is fueled by clippers. Well, you wanna know the sad thing is that oftentimes they are indistinguishable. So what I mean by that is like, you could, what's called, there's a grassroots movement, right? That's a real movement. We saw that happen with like different types of music. We've seen that happen with different types of political strategy. We've seen that happen with like different, like it could be even like a restaurant to guess popular. That's a grassroots movement. There's an organic trend. Then there's a thing called an astroturfed movement. So in the same way that grass is real and astroturfes make grass, you can use certain things to create a fake, suffacely supported trend. But once people see a trend, they start following it and it becomes real. True, true, true. So that exists in all these same genres that we just spoke about. So the astroturf trend is the trickiest thing. And if you know that you can get things to become trends by putting a little gas on it, right? Of course, that's an incredibly powerful utility to have at your disposal. I like, I agree with that. I think that the clippers are great for awareness. I don't know how great they are for emotional engagement. Because you know, if you've been looking at what these social media platforms do-- - Eddie Cumberbatch. - Eddie Cumberbatch. I think that was the pod that the clip came from. - Okay. - Where he's talking about-- - Oh no, I thought that was the guy, but the guy didn't even-- - I don't know if that's him, but I have to clip here, I'll send it to you. - But the social media guys, I mean, social media, all of these technical lords, they monetize your emotions. And the greatest currency and cloud capital is conflict, right? But I just say emotion in general. So emotional engagement is different than just awareness. Like you can see something a hundred times and be aware of it. But boy, like if you see Kevin Hart clip and Kevin Hart is defending why he had Tony at the rose, blah, blah, blah, you got to say something about that shit. You want to engage with it. - I have a theory. - Okay, talk to me. - I don't know if I spoke about this on the pod, but like I think what's happening right now is that the internet and like there's elective content and unelective content, okay? And elective content is a movie. It is a TV show that you watch on Netflix or Hulu. It is, it could be even like a longer YouTube video that you decide to watch, you click on it. I am electing to have this experience. And then there's unelective content, which is you just open up Instagram, whatever account pops up on to your phone, TikTok. You don't even follow these motherfuckers. You are completely not electing to watch it and consume it, but it pops up. And our desire for these two things are completely different. Elective content going to see a movie is escapism. You don't want politics, you don't want a drama, you don't want the world is burning. You want escape, you want to watch a horror movie, you want to watch a comedy, and you don't want them to be like filled with like all the nonsense, you know, things that cause you this anxiety all day long. And that's why the movies that tend to harp on those themes, like all the political stuff and all that kind of shit, they actually kind of bomb and the ones that are like pure escapism are crushing. Unelective content, you are not choosing to watch it. It's thrown in front of your face. It's not in escape. I'm not going to Instagram to escape for five, 10 seconds. It actually are the things that are causing you the anxiety and existential crisis that you're dealing with every single day. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - So that content, actually, it's like a car crash. You don't want to see a car crash. That's not what some of you elect. You don't go look up. Hey, can I see somebody die in a car accident? But if it pops up in front of you, you can't look away. So those pieces of content tend to work better on unelected platforms. And the problem is now people are curating around what works online. They're curating around the algorithm. They're not doing the shit they want to do. They're doing the shit that works. So now they're leaning into the misery, anxiety, and discomfort because that works on the unelected platforms. So I think we, anyway, there's just this interesting dichotomy when it comes to content, which is like what we consume the most of. We actually don't want, it makes us feel anxiety and misery. We don't actually, that one is social media is all about. Like literally, they're monetizing our emotions and the greatest currency in the cloud capital is conflict. - Yes. - Keep telling y'all read this book. - The worst of our emotions. I keep telling y'all read this book, "Techno feudalism, what killed capitalism." That's literally what that book is about. All of these social media platforms are mining our emotions and monetizing our emotions. But what is interesting is that when you look at like what's working in film and TV, it's the opposite of that. - It's what it. - It might still like, I don't know why we love our quarters, our levels are raised, but we do. - That's why hard is the biggest, John. - Yes, but our quarters at level is raised. Not around things that we feel existential doom towards every single day. They're raised around an escapist hypothetical that actually couldn't affect our everyday lives. - That's what you're saying. - Do you know what I mean? - When you watch a session and you see the kid make a wish, we dealt with crazy girlfriends before, but you know that's through fictional shit. - And it's not even like a real problem that you're dealing with your life. You're like, I'm gonna forget my real problems and I'm gonna escape into this world. When that shit comes up on our phone, it's our real problems. It's something about the war. It's something about the economy. It's something about racism. It's something about sexism. It's something about controversy. Like you said, conflict. - But you know what, Israel is bombing Iran right now? - Did it start happening? - It happened since last week. No, no, no, I'm in.
the US because the US said that they were going to respond because I don't know if you've wanted but Israel started bombing. I ran but my funny is nobody's even talking about this shit. But that shit will come up on this feed. The last thing you want to do is watch a movie about how Israel's bombing are on when you're trying to relax. Yeah, I mean, but when you're at your work trying to save from the dump, you're going scrolling. That's going to pop up on your phone. You're going to have this visceral reaction. So what I think, I don't want to get too far away, but what I think is kind of interesting is that like there are people who are creating within the unelected platform. And I think that they might have a lot of views, but you can't transfer those views to the streaming or movie platforms because that's not what people want over there. Yeah, it's no emotional engagement. See, the reason Kerry Bucket was able to get all these people to go see obsession because he created an emotional attachment, emotional engagement with his content. And it was going to escape. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and those YouTube things that he did so well converted beautifully because he was making little stories. He was making little movies. Yeah, people come to your stand-up shows because they've watched enough for your clips on. Yeah, but they got an emotional attempt to show. I got to go see this guy show. Yeah. Same thing with Bernie Nitties or any type of content that is real, that people can actually see they know where real people. By the way, there's nothing that's going to be real now. Like we are in the real era. People want live engagement again, y'all. People want to be out at concerts. People want to go to sporting events. People want to watch the breakfast club live. They want to watch something that's real. They want to watch roles live. If they got to notice, it is happening now, now because all the biggest moments in culture that have happened have all been live. What I would say is every single one, there are certain exceptions. I would say like Drusky sketches have had massive success there, not live, but like they are it, but but but it's pure escapism. Yes, but guess what? Yeah. Nothing is going to beat Drusky at the BET Awards live. There you go. I got to see it. It's a great. I got to eat it. It's a great look. I'm emotionally attached to this content. Can I give you a pitch? Okay. And now give it up for our host. White conservative woman. Oh, you know, she got to make an appearance. No, she got to start the BET Awards. No, that will be who writes the material. That counts Tony has. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. No, the jokes don't boy, but that's not a bad. That's not a bad idea. It's not for a BET. No, he come. Now I would start the show and be crazy. At some point in the show though, you come out of the white conservative woman started. Tell me. This is the roast the BET. It's Tony has. If you started think about it because if you started like that, every single person, even if they're not tuned in, they're going to take it in the text like, yo, are you watching this? What if he's killing it? Killing it. Killing it. Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it. I already know you're going. This is why he's going back. That's why he's going back. Tell me what I was going to say. I'm not going to say it. Don't believe it. Believe it. Told my God. Yes. In the middle of the set. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I believe that shit. Oh, you're going to believe it. Yo, did that not be the illest shit? If you want you going to do it, do it. You're going to do it. Shout out to Drew. I can't wait to see, bro. And he is. And then we'll be with Emma Stone. I saw that. Yo, you're cooking. I'm talking. I was cooking, man. I have people hitting me up asking, y'all, can we get Drew's to be in such and such film? And I'm not talking about no, you know, I'm talking about major players like you know, Drew's key is out of here, out of here. He's a perfect example of doing it yourself, betting on yourself. Here's here's the thing. Oh, you're going to the perfect example of doing it yourself, betting on yourself, but having real infrastructure by rat and all my reality. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So that's why I can go back to my original question. What's better? Having the clippers post yourself everywhere it raised awareness, which I think is great are having like a real emotional connection. Look, the best is obviously if everything you do is organic. What I would say is that like you have to give credit to not only the clippers, but also like the people who have institutionalized clippers. That's a genius. That's absolutely. A genius move. You make something inescapable on the internet. And then we all start going, oh, I guess this is the thing. That is next level like CIA. How the hell did people on the internet think of that before the CIA? Like that is how we know to see I ain't not behind it now. I mean, if they were smart, they would be calling all the guys like, yo, tell me how you guys are so effective in the politicians are. There we go. We're going to smart ones. But wait, what was I going to say? Will we just say? Oh, oh, oh, what I would say. So Druski is in that movie, which is fucking awesome. What I think people will come out to see the most is not Druski in a big movie. It's Druski putting out his movie is coming. So if he does like a Sasha Baron Cohen like Borat style, but with the characters, et cetera, to me, that is a massive fucking huge success because they know it's from him. And people want to follow the creators. That's the Curry Marker model. Like ice, ice, not in Kevin Hart. Well, I think they're all doing a potential movie. And as long as they did it is done. As long as they're involved in the creative, right? As long as it's not like, okay, here's some writers, let's just make them write a movie for these guys to be in. That's not what people want to support. They want to support creatives creating things. And if you tell me if Druski had a fucking movie like Borat, but with all the characters, you saying that wouldn't be that would be it. It's coming and it's going to make a lot of your load of money because that's going to be the next thing, right? Like horror is always a genre that's going to do well. And you see all these independent horrors doing very well. The next wave is going to be independent comedies because independent comedies are going to be so good because these comedians won't have to take, you know, are not even just comedians, just people who have great comedie writers won't have to take no notes from no studio, won't have to take no notes from nobody. And they can just write some really, really funny shit. And we live in an area where you don't even have to have stars playing these roles. So if the stars don't want to do this, risky shit that you just wrote, all right? You just go get some people that don't know how to act, you know what I mean? That it would take the risk. And let me tell you what's going to happen. The second, those are the movies that are popping. The stars will be dying to be in it because at the end of the day, they want to be in the shit that people are watching. I don't understand why the stars now aren't connecting with these new creatives, you know, and just helping them fund the flicks. Well, I think I think what we've seen is like the fact that the stars are doing podcasts is like the first iteration of going, oh, something else is out there that's getting the word out on things. Okay, let's go and when we have a movie come out, do a podcast from a lot of stars, we've been doing podcasts themselves so that they're realizing that the industry has changed a little bit. So I'm like, okay, that works. The next iteration with the massive success of these movies that are put out by the YouTubers, I think you're going to see these studios throwing two million dollar checks at a hundred different YouTubers that can make movies. You take the check from the studio? What I'm saying, do you? If you're them? 100%. I saw some shit today. I don't know if it's true or not, but man, when you look at the money obsession made, the studio is getting rich, but they took the creator not so, I mean, he's don't get me wrong. He's doing very well. First of all, he made it for 750. I think they sold it for 15 minutes. 15, 16, the focus film. Yeah. So focus films took the risks, right? They're like, we're going to buy this YouTuber's movie. Yeah. There's really not that much proof that it's going to succeed. Movies and not to like cap for the studios, but like, in general, like movies aren't like a big money business. Like 99 movies fail. They take a huge risk. It works. So if I'm a young guy that's a YouTuber and I have a studio willing to give me two million dollars and give me distribution on a project that I'm working on or a wide distribution, that's why he chose focus because it was a set of the bin wall between focus 824. Bro, and somebody else will focus had global disclosure. I saw that. But to me, I'm going like, everybody's going like, oh, the star only got paid 20 grand on it or this only got paid 20 grand. It's like, guys, guys, why didn't they have no backing? Forget, forget back in, right? Forget back in. When you sign that contract, you're not thinking it's going to be the biggest movie in the world. One, if you negotiate your contract based on it being the biggest movie in the world, they would just get another actor because they'd be like, guys, this is a complete gamble. That's one, two, three. The next movie, all of them do. They're going to be paid a gazillion dollars on. So it's like, if that's your internship, it's like, all of it, you know, how long can we work for free? How long was I doing stand up for free? How long are you doing radio for free? So we could get in position to it. And now we're and now we're over here going like, all they deserve to make more money. It's like, they made one movie and now they're going to make money. We had to work for a decade making no money before we made a fucking penny. To your point, or even if I'm somebody like Kerry Barker and you know, I sell the focus film. So you know, I get some of that and then it goes to the theater, sell $2,300,000,000 if I make $30,000,000 off it, that's the win, bro. Uh, yeah.
I'll just say, well, sometimes we don't think like that. - Also, if the studio is smart, they do the right thing by the cast, they do maybe the right thing by the crew, they throw a couple bucks around. That's if they're smart. - You're not wrong. - Well, they should negotiate that shit before. - But I'm just saying, especially when you're not getting a whole lot of money, get somebody that can help you negotiate some equity. - Remember, yes, that's a smart thing. - Of course. But remember when we were doing the fucking MTV shows back in the day? I remember all these different shows on. And then all of a sudden they gave me a bonus. It wasn't crazy, but it was like a little way of being like, "Hey, we know we're really working you "and you have this contract." - I didn't even look at those. - We've been so lucky. - I'm not even exaggerating when I say this. We have worked with some beautiful people. We've not tried to get over on us. And also understood we built something together. When we were at MTV, too, MTV, too was not MTV, too. Like we were the guy called was the first original show ever on MTV, too. And I can argue in when the argument that that show kept MTV, too, and MTV proper alive for a long, long time. - They were gonna print some money on that. - You still think of all of the shows that came from a Sluton Ryan link, Sluton Paul Richie Danburn, and Chris McCarthy, it's a reason Chris McCarthy stays in the positions that he and he was president of Paramount. Now he's, what is he at now? He's got a new position now. I think it's with NBC, 'cause he's still working with Taylor Sheridan. But those guys, not only understood the talent, they did it right by talent. They treated talent good. They don't have to give you no fucking bonus. - That's what I'm saying. There is a right thing to do. Like Taylor Swift, bonuses out all of her crew and shit like that. That's a nice, if you have a watershed moment, financially, throw a couple bucks around. - She made white people so happy. Seriously, let's have this conversation. - Taylor. - Why the fuck did Taylor Swift make white people so happy? - 'Cause she was like the, what do y'all call it? Like everyone roots for that, I don't know. - American speed art? - Or she was underdog? - And then also Kanye. They felt bad for her, probably. I think that was a come-up to me. - You think Kanye? I don't know if she makes white people it. I guess she does, I don't know. - She should not be, if the rumor is true, which I don't think it is, why would she be having her wedding at Madison Square, God? - Yeah. - Wedding at Madison Square. - That's what the rumor is, her and fucking Travis Kelly. I think they put that out there just to fuck with people. - It wouldn't make no sense. - I think they get married in New York, but I don't think it's at Madison Square, God. - Why would you get married at the garden? - Slice Stone, did it? - He did? - You missed me. - I don't know the mother shit. - Can't I read it at the garden now, that shit? - Would he marry Chris? - No, I don't know what her name was, didn't last, but he had a whole concert for his wedding at Madison Square Garden. I think it's '74, I believe. - God damn, that's what he puts, he was hairy. - To the hip. (laughing) - Did that put some hairy? (laughing) - He did that. Rocky did that put some hairy, that's great. - No, it's lying's different than Rocky. - So that's the best of some more? - That's his mother. - Yeah, there's two of them. - Slice Stone, Slime the Family Stone. - Slice? - I want to take you higher. - Oh. - Is it better in brother? - Ooh. - Slice the Lone? - This is a non-Italian cousin maybe, but it's not his brother. - I don't know, not his brother. - I drank the Lones. - Frank is the brother, man. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You guys don't know who Slice Stone is, Slime the Family Stone? - I don't know who he is, but I thought you, I swear, I thought he's double Rocky. - I thought you were talking about Frank. - Let's do some asking ideas, man. - Let's do it. - You're like a fucking idiot. Shout out to Slice, no. - RIP. - Let's do some asking idiots, man. Let's do some asking idiots, man. You cool, Graham says, what is your top pick food item that you would introduce to aliens? Ooh. - French fries. - French fries, so fire. Why have French fries so fire? I love a good French fry. And you know they're not really good for you, but man, I'm shit, I'm so fucking hard to resist. And I don't like fast food, French fries. I like French fries at a restaurant. Now, I love me some Crystal French fries. I love me some Chipotle French fries. I love me some Wendy's French fries. But boy, when you're at a fast food restaurant, you order some fries and they bring onto a big ass steak fries. - Yeah, I don't shit so good. Why have French fries so fucking good? - Or you get a little steak-free. Ooh. - You're right, this is interesting. It's like, what is the thing that you share with a species from another planet? Like, you don't want to go too sophisticated. You know what I mean, like, you don't want to do like some crazy wild dish. You want something easy, like, yo, take a bite of that, you're gonna like it. - French fries. - French fries probably are the most universal. - You think? - So the other thing is pizza, but I would say like, - Pizza and fries. - I've never heard nobody say they don't like French fries. - That's the thing. - I've heard people say they don't like pizza. I've never heard somebody tell me I don't like French fries. It's pizza or French fries. Isn't that crazy? Remember when you used to take that, this one used to do in school. We used to take the pizza, put the French fries on the, wrap it, fold the pizza, oh my god. - That's crazy. - Don't put in the, that's what it's called. - That's what it's called. - You're not allowed to go carbon-carb. - Oh my gosh. - Before we can do it all day long. - Exactly, spaghetti, just spaghetti sandwiches. - Spaghetti sandwiches is fire. - I love them. - Carbon-carb, you can do this. - That's fire in me. - That's fire in me. - He's brand-fished. - Fire. - And you eat brand-fished spaghetti, right? - Not really, yo. - But that is a thing, like-- - Yeah, if people dip in or whatever I heard, it's just the difference. - No, no, no, no. - Just making this seem like-- - No. - Watch it, man. - Carlos dot sink one said that if the Nick's win tonight, would they lose game five to have the epic win on MSG game six? Well, y'all please go back and listen to the last week's episode of "Brindies." I told y'all they were gonna win the first two games. They were gonna lose games three and five, Nick's in six at the fucking garden, yo. - No, no, no, the Nick's are winning tonight. They're both sent out in San Antonio. - I don't want them to-- Why don't we want them to close the San Antonio? - I don't want-- - You just want to get it over with. - I don't want to get it over with, man. - I can't deal with this stress anymore. - Nick's in six, bro, it's easy. The only reason this birds are gonna win two games 'cause they're actually that talented to win, they're not gonna win a seven game series against, I think the night gonna be a blowout. - It should be a blowout for the Nick. - And by, yeah, it's for the Nick. And by the way, if the Zebras don't do this-- - I would like to say this, the best basketball in the playoffs has been in these NBA finals. - These games have been amazing. - It's been incredible. - Big runs. - Big runs, tonight we get off for a blowout. - These ones. - Tonight we get off for a blowout in this New York mix. And if not, we're editing this, huh? (laughing) - I have a question in about it. Are they the next one, the area one, two games? When this one, shouldn't it be a blowout? - One more after this one. So it's best of seven. So they first came and went for it. Yeah, best four, why not? I love women. I love talking sports with women. - I'm just trying to understand what you mean. - I'm not, but it's really not a stereotype. - About women, I know anything. - Because it combines things that they're not good at, right? They're like sports and math. - Tag. - So like, it's hard for them to, but then, I mean, you got your exceptions and they're all on ESPN. - Why are you saying they're not good at, I mean, I'm not good at math, but why are you saying a women are good at math though? - Why are women not good at math? - I know, other women are not good at math. Like, they're fun. - It's shit in the world. We had Destiny's Sherlock on. She's the first black woman driving in NASCAR. So I'm like, so what do you do? How do you try to defy the stereotype that women can drive? And so, Jessica's women don't know, there's a stereotype that women can drive. I go, yes, she goes, but I thought it was a stereotype that go, and I see. - It's only a joke. - Yeah, it's a joke. - Who is, who is, who is it, who is it that can drive it? - No, no, I'm like saying, Jess, who are the people that you heard can drive? She's like, no, no, not saying. I'm not saying. - Hey, Chris, when you were a, when you were a, let's, let's talk about this. - I genuinely am curious, 'cause I'm fantastic fucking drive. - Can I just point something out, can I point something out? I've actually, 'cause you know me, like, I like to know where all this shit comes from. - Right. - So I, I Google, like, what is the etymology of this stereotype? Like, usually you can find justification for some sort of stereotypes historically. - So where the fuck they've had to come from? - They came from something. Yeah, it's like, it came from somewhere. - Tokyo Drift, these guys are masters. - The Asians are fantastic drivers. I can't believe the precision I see in Taiwan. - Yeah, but how do you know they're trying to drift? (all laughing) Do you know what I mean? Like, we don't know if that's the goal. (all laughing) - It was not out of control and they're smooth with it. - Right, yeah. - Bro, we were in the middle, we were in the, we were in Saudi Arabia. They told me, 'cause they just started letting women drive. Right, and it was like, it was kind of like funny in general, 'cause it was like, no, there's this traffic. And my whole thing was like, this is on you. And like, you just up the people on the road by two. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But they're like, so I was like, are they tough at driving or whatever? And they were like, yeah, they can accidents all the time. And I was like, really? How do you know if it's a woman driver? It's like, if you see somebody in like a Toyota or something like that. And I was like, why? Why is that their car? He goes, well, you can't give them like an expensive car. Like, they're gonna crash. So like, if you see anybody on the road, you can a specific trainer. - It's a train. - A lyrus. - Well, who's the worst drivers in New York City? Let's tell the truth. - The worst? - Yeah. - I'll tell you there. - Who? - Mo Peds. - Well, we know that. - Who would say cars? - It sits. - Oh, yeah, in Brooklyn. - Why are they so bad? - Jersey too. - I don't know about Jersey.
- Oh, they're so bad. Why are they so bad, Chris? - They don't wanna pay the rules. - I don't know, I was seeing a driver. They always be walking with us. - Oh my god, in my neighborhood. - But like in the vans. - They're all about rules. They got a million different rules. Why don't they own rules? - Not man's rules. - That's a funny though. I say I only see them walking, but that's just on Saturday when they go into the. - Right, synagogue, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - How do you say Hispanics? - Nah, not my favorite, but like, who are the best drivers of the city? Like a nice middle-class white guy, it's probably number one. - Yo, can we just call it what it is? Are we the best at driving? - I think so. - Middle-class white, it's the best at driving? - Right, I think. - Just New Yorkers, yeah. - New Yorkers are on good drivers. 'Cause I remember when I first moved up here, bro. It was a fucking, I was having panic attacks, I got into a record in New Jersey. Just off straight pure panic. - What? - That is never used to that kind of traffic. New Yorkers, New York drivers, it's easy now, but when I first moved up there, it's the everyday thing. - Yeah, it's the everyday thing, no. - Not a fight for it. - Oh, not a fight. - You gotta be a bully in that. - And you gotta have patience. You really gotta have patience just sitting there and traffic for a man long like, nah. - You have to have patience, but you have to make the. This is why I tell people from out of the city, you have to make the aggressive move, because that's what everyone's assuming you make. - Yeah, actually, you actually call the accidents by being cautious. I'm not an offensive driver, I'm a defensive driver. I really am. - Wait, let me ask Chad to see where the Asians can't drive stairs. - Look, here it is. So a few of the biggest factors, people point to early Asian immigrants in the U.S. often came from densely populated cities where fewer people drove regularly, especially older generations arriving in the mid 20th century. In some cases, they learn to drive later in life or in a different traffic culture. That makes sense. - I read something like that about women too, when women has said, because women weren't able to drive until a certain period of time. So that's why, like other people were just. Men were just more experienced drivers because they had did it longer. - Also their periods be fucking their heads up. - I have a happy day drivers. (laughing) - Damn, let's scroll up. No, go to. What's the one before that? Okay. Victor, Rowe, Joss, 956 says, "What's the gays thing you would do to save your family?" I don't judge people for what they do in survival mode. - Yeah, I don't think survival gays gays. - No, no. - Survival gays, not gays. - No, it's not. - Suckin' dick for the taste is gays. - That's more culinary arts. - Ooh, I would think if you suckin' dick for the taste of dick for the taste. - That's not gays. - Man. - That's not, you love food. - Man, you're a foodie at the end of the day. - Now that is an interesting perspective. - Suckin' dick because you enjoy making a man come is gays. - Yeah, that's two men sharing sexual relations. Yes. But if I'm just sucking for the taste for flavor. - Yes. - What's gays about that? - I don't think that's gays. - You're serious right now. - Not 'cause if that dick was attached to a woman or a wall, you would still want to suck it because you like the flavor of the dick has got nothing to do with what it's attached to. - That is true 'cause what if wall dick is the best dick? - Might be. - And it's rare. It's rare if you don't wall dick. - You think on it? Like, what are you talking about? - I mean, if it is, did it require seasoning? - I'm just like, why do you drink with a dick? - It was, yeah, it was. - Your type of wine to you drink with a, what type of wine pairs well with a penis? - Huh? - Well, I'm trying to think of one. Hold on, hold on, hold on. - I think of one. - Maybe they're going, oh, I know, a shard on gay. - See, no. (laughing) - Let dads have them fun. - No, gays. - We have to have some fucking fun. - Yeah. - Gays has some fucking fun, sure. - Gays can be dads too. - Yeah. - What else we got to do? - If you like, if you like black dick, the best wine would be a pin on the wall. (laughing) A penis in the wall. A penis in the wall. A penis in the wall. - This is fun. - This is fun. - To pair wine with dicks. - All right, let's ask y'all what we need to do. - Let's ask y'all what we need to do. - I'm working hard on Manchevets, right? - What? (laughing) - Man. - What? - A good wine (laughing) to pair with penis. Let's see what it says. - Yep. - Let's see what Chad says. If you're making a joke. (laughing) - This is hilarious. - Give it, give it, give it. - If you're making a joke, the classic answer is that a full-bodied red goes with meat. (laughing) - That's good! That's good. - What dinner says? If you're asking seriously about incorporating food or wine into sexual activity, it's generally safe for us to enjoy the wine separately rather than applying it to the body. - It's not actually. (laughing) - You gotta be like, "Yo, you're taking this too seriously, bro." Stop merering out on this shit. - I'm taking this way too seriously. - God, sorry, Oscar. Oscar said, "Dick talk, we just did some dick talk, man." - Oscar be savage on him, dick talk. Arsenal Vega says, "If comedians can say whatever they want, then why don't white comedians say the n-word?" - Hey, dude, they want CK as historically said it. Fucking, um. - They're white comedians who have said it. - Louis CK is the one that Neil Brennan used to say it. You know, I don't think he said it. No more, but they had jokes around the n-word. - They're having white comedians who have said it. - Yes, who was the white comedian? And she's old though, he was all richer prior. - Lenny Bruce. - Lenny fucking Bruce. Lenny had a whole thing about the n-word. Lenny's whole stick was, he literally was, he gotta go actually watch it. And I watch it 'cause a comedian, I forgot who recently told me about him. Maybe it was Kevin. I had to recently told me about it. And I went to go watch it. But he literally, when I say he pushed the crowd to the fucking limit to the point where it was. - All right, that's it, bro. You gotta, you about to get it, type shit. Like he had to push them to that to reel them back in, but then it was this whole bit at the end where it was like. - Taking away the power of the word. - Taking away the power of the word, you shouldn't let what word defect you. It was actually pretty brilliant when you watched it. - By the way, other than you niggas hit a n-word. - Wow, what did he say? - Why is he really getting out of his nut? - Other than a niggas hit a niggas hit a niggas hit a niggas. - Is he that desperate for shock value? - And he skid the button bound to be that cruel to say other than a niggas hit a niggas hit a niggas. - Have I ever talked about the schwarz and they left the room? - All the moon lines on the arms of the arms are placated some sudden by absence of voice, when he ran to an raid about the niggas, niggas, niggas. - I mean, niggas here, you know, I'm working with the niggas. - I think I see one niggas couple back there between those two niggas to three kikes. Thank God for the kikes, and two spicks and one mick. I have two spicks, one mick, three kikes, so one spunky, funky, funky. Any more bullies, three more shini's, eight more gini's, six gini's, seven waps, six grease balls. I pass the six dikes, four kikes and eight niggas. They point, if President Kennedy got on television every day and said, I would like to introduce all the niggas in my cabinet. And all the niggas called each other niggas, they off-time subit in front of the old phase. And every day you heard niggas, niggas, niggas, niggas. Niggas, the second month, niggas would mean as much as good night, oh God, bless you and your sneeze, or perhaps as much as, I promise I'll hold to nothing but to do so, help me, God. Niggas would lose its impact and never make any for you. Niggas crime when he came home school. - And all of a sudden, I had a blending bruise, super head of his time. Also, Lenny traveled if I'm not mistaken with like a black jazz musician that would like open with him. They would open for him. - Slice stone. - Slice stone. - Meaning the reason I say that, not on some like, oh, he had a black friend, but more like he wasn't trying to provoke, he wasn't trying to like a emboldened racist. He was trying to antagonize people that were racist. - You know what I would love to ask? The George Collins of the world, the Lenny Bruce's, the Richard priors. Those guys were naturally funny, right? Like just naturally, you can tell that they were just, just regular conversation, they were naturally funny. Were they trying to be smart? Like John threw it as a naturally funny person, but he's also just very smart. 'Cause to me, the funny comes easy for them. So the way that they have to sit back and observe the world has to come from a very intellectual perspective. And I think that they bought that to a lot of their comedy with their life observations. I think nowadays you have a lot of people who are trying to be funny. But that's not gonna be natural. - Yeah, I forgot, I just saw somebody say this, when they were talking about the difference between comedy and being funny. And they was like, I can teach somebody. - Tracey Morgan, Tracey. - It was Tracey. Tracey's like, I can teach you comedy, but I can't teach you how to be funny. He was like, I got uncles that are just funny. Like funny is just something, and I believe that. - I can teach everybody in this room how to do comedy. But funny, are you funny? Richard Pryor was funny. That's a way of being in your soul. That's just sense of humor, that's what you were born with. Comedy is just not out of tell jokes. But funny is the way of life. Okay, look at this glass. What's funny about that? That's an exercise. Martin used to do it with me. Is your job to find a funny? My father was Richard Pryor funny. He did comedy in Vietnam. I'm just mimicking my dad. You could tell jokes, but at the end of the day, are you funny? Comedy in funny is two different things. - So when you're already funny, you can take that funny and do whatever you want with it. Like George Carlin was funny, but he had just had these great observations of the world. Richard Pryor was funny, but he had these great observations
the world, Lenin Bruce was funny when they had these great observations of the world. - These both. - I think that there are people who are just naturally funny. - But that's what you should be to be a comedian, right? - I agree. - I don't think you have to try to be funny. - I think there are people who can kind of get around it by like structuring jokes and like-- - But we don't usually find them funny. - But people do, or they're like, ooh, that joke is clever, or like it works in certain things. But like, if at your core you're funny. Like, that's where you get the, oh fuck, I'm forgetting this name. Big Fat Guy was on SNL. - Oh really? - Keenah Thompson? - No. - Big Fat Guy, don't listen to me. - Farley. - Yeah. - Oh, Farley. - Like Chris Farley, I don't know if any of us can remember a joke that he told. - But he was just funny. - He was just funny. - Remember dying laughing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But that's the physical, the big guys who are nimble on their feet. - Yeah. - And then there's some people-- - Jim Carries like that. - Jim is hilarious. - Physically just hilarious. But then there's also people who like the way that they organize the world. Like Chris Rock, for example. Just, if you just sit with him and talk, the way he organizes the world is just through a lens of humor. Like he, it's like, he's gonna analyze something and it's gonna make fucking sense. - Yeah. - But the way that he'll explain it offstage, I'm saying if we're just hanging like this. - It's funny. - Yeah. - It's just that's how he sees shit. - Yeah. - It's like, it's putting on fucking like glasses that are tinted red. Everything looks a little red. - Yeah. - I ain't gonna let y'all ever try to ruin Chris show. I see y'all keep trying to-- - Who's y'all? - Why? - I watched it in the studio. - Rushmore. - I know the internet tries to do it though. Like, but it's not Chris. - No, Chris is-- - Rushmore. - Chris is golden. - Where is this? - Rushmore. - Like this is-- - Nah. - Yeah, I just wonder about that. Cause I feel like you have a lot of people nowadays who try to be funny. And that's why it's not funny. But then the people that are naturally funny always seem to be the smartest. But sometimes what happens is this, and this is where a standup is kind of unique. Naturally funny people sometimes are lazy and standup is hard. And you can kind of get away with it a little bit. But if you really wanna do an hour that's great, you need a work hard. - Yeah. - And the people who are willing to work hard and have natural humor can make really special shit. - Yeah. - But sometimes I feel like-- - Oh, this one do one more Taylor. - You can say he's not-- - Well, most times you feel like what? - Sometimes I feel like sometimes you see the guys who are like the most naturally hilarious dude they're hanging out the club, but they're just the funniest motherfucker. But they're standup because it comes so easy to them. It's like almost like a big man who hasn't really developed his game. - Yeah. - He never has had to because he's just so fun. - He's got so big. - But the guys who are the best at the highest level are the big men that develop their game. - Yeah. - I'm a large one worked on the game. - Absolutely. - But he also had natural instincts. - Absolutely. I would love to do one more, but Taylor said fuck it and just walked out and closed everything down. But hey man, as always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast, and you think we're just a couple of idiots and don't know shit, you're right too. It's the brilliant of this podcast. Thank you for listening. - Bish.
