Greatest playoff run ever? Has to be It has to be Sixers, 1982 Sixers I don't remember that Had a, I believe a Foe, foe, foe was the famous quote They went 4-4 and lost one game So it's a similar thing Over 4-4? Come on Yes, historically I don't, yeah, I don't want to be a prisoner of the moment, man I'm just simply saying that When I watched the New York Knicks In this playoff series You felt the magic And I haven't felt that in a long time for a team, yo I haven't felt, I haven't felt I haven't looked at a team and say Yo, that's a magical team In a really, really, really, really long time Not even the Golden State Warriors And they were magical Yeah And I'll tell you why I don't look at the Golden State Warriors in that way Because they had all-world talent They had Steph Curry They had Klay Thomas They had Prime Draymond Then they ended up getting Kevin Durant Now that first The first team that won a championship Without Kevin Durant That was magic But they were just really good, right? Then they came back And they went 73 and fucking 9 That was a magical team But they lost in the finals But once again, they had Otherworldly Hall of Fame Elite talent So we didn't know that at the time With Steph we did Nah, we kind of knew with Steph With Steph we definitely did We were already All in the Splash Brothers They had a little bit of like An underdog status at first That changed once they became established After the first one I don't think they had no underdog status They went 73 and 9, Chris Yeah, you're right I mean, I would say the difference is I've never seen the magic on the court at that level And then the magic off the court Match it, right? So like, there's almost two things going on Like, there's the games itself And this is talking As someone who was in New York for it Like, I've never seen anything like this in New York Like, since 9-11 Which was not a positive thing But that's the closest parallel Like, even my dad called me the other night And was like, what was the energy? Like, have you ever seen the energy in New York on that level? And I was like, yeah, 9-11 The energy was off the charts But in a completely different way Like, there's never In New York I've never seen New York have this kind of joy Joy Hope Belief You know what's crazy? So, me and Schultz, we went to the game Oh yeah, tell us I honestly wish I was in New York Because Wow Yeah, because like, one Being at the game was exciting as fuck But then after the fact San Antonio, they wanted their blood back Like, they were out in the streets Everybody who had anything nicks on They was, fuck you, fuck you They were trying to start fights with people People were getting jumped Some dude What happened to your suck my dick? What happened to your New York suck my dick, Alex? Suck my dick That's what you're supposed to say I don't give a fuck where you at You a New Yorker If you're out of state And Spurs is acting like that Suck my dick Texas is a Open carry state Yeah, you're right Yeah, you know where you at You're right You're right But it was crazy It was the excitement And to be in that room For, to see that happen Was fucking amazing But still New York is I've never seen it like this Yo, that video of when Um The Knicks won the game And they was just like What Manhattan sounded like Somebody just Was Somebody just had their phone Or something outside Like they were just recording It wasn't even They weren't even They were like in a building And they were recording out the window And you could hear the whole City going crazy That shit gave me chills, man It sounded like during COVID Remember like 7 o'clock When they would like Clap for all the nurses And first responders Oh right, like bang on box Yeah I wasn't even there for that Yeah I was in Jersey I didn't see that shit Yeah So like At 7 o'clock Every time in New York We would like Everybody would just cheer For the first responders And it would just be The whole city would just go Where the fuck Were the first responders at? Like Cause they had to be in the front Like they had to be in the hospitals While everybody was dying Got you Got you Nah, that shit was incredible, man I've been here for 20 years I've seen the Giants win I've seen the Yankees win I've seen the Mets have a run The Mets Yeah, I've seen the Mets have a run I've never felt anything Like this Knicks shit, yo Like New York is really A basketball city, man And shout out to the Knicks I've seen a video somebody posted That shit said Charlemagne Tha God's Xenophobic take On Victor Wimbyon What? And they were playing clips From Brilliant Idiots When I was having the conversation About how a foreigner Can't be the face of the NBA I'm like, how the fuck That shit made me go look up What xenophobic was again I'm like, how the fuck Was that xenophobic? And ain't Victor a fucking alien? So what the fuck Are we even talking about? But it was Yeah, see right there Charlemagne Tha God Goes on an insane Xenophobic rant Targeting foreign players Not born in America Yo, that's crazy Yo, the reach To get some views The reach is crazy, right? So here's my thing All the Knicks victory did Was prove why When you are An American-born NBA player With a blue-collar story Like Jalen Brunson And the Knicks being A blue-collar team When you have I wouldn't call Jalen Brunson blue-collar But okay Brunson is blue-collar I'm talking about The way they play Okay Yeah, I'm talking about The way they play The type of team that they are His dad's a former player You kind of had a little Access to that Yeah, but this is a team Who when you look at All of their starters It's like nobody wanted them Dallas let Jalen go out There and test The free market OG was somewhere else You know They ended up Letting them go Mikel got traded But the fact that they Would trade a Mikel Bridges Carl Anthony Towns Went to the Western Conference Finals With the Minnesota Timberwolves And Minnesota said Hmm You know how we can be better? Let's get rid of Cat Like let's Like this shit It makes no logical sense Those five people Come together What's the quote, Chris? The sum of all parts Equal a whole Or something like that Like that's what happened With the New York Times With the New York Knicks And they came together And had a historic Playoff fucking run I don't know if it's because It's New York City I don't know if it's because We watched somebody Like Jalen Brunson Look like Michael Jordan Or Kobe Bryant In the NBA Finals That's a big statement It's not even I just say look like Because I remember Watching Bulls games And no matter What the score was You didn't turn Because you knew Michael Jordan Because you knew You didn't have to win Your shit For the Chicago Bulls You watched the Lakers games And you didn't turn Because no matter What was going on You realized Kobe could probably Win this game For the Lakers That shit happened In five games With Jalen Brunson And he had Shooting struggles In like the first Two or three But still found ways At the end of the game To win And then he just Put it all together In games four and five Game five You dropped 45 In San Antonio So I'll let Schultz make this case With you When he's back But after the game We were having a debate He's trying to make The claim that Jalen Brunson Is the best player In the NBA Right now He is Really Without a doubt You'll say that Right now The best player In the NBA Listen You can only grade things Based off what happens Throughout a whole season He's the last man standing Last team standing King of the hill Had an amazing Playoff run At this moment in time Right now As we speak Jalen Brunson Jalen Brunson Is the best player In the NBA He's the best guard For sure That's different Is he the best player So you're saying You get Who was the best player Before Jokic Yeah There's a few Like right now If you can assemble a team Your very first pick Is Jalen Brunson Nah it wouldn't be my first pick So that's The best player That's your first pick He wouldn't be my first pick I will say this Going down the stretch Gotta have Jalen Brunson To your point I'd rather have Brunson Than Jokic Gotta have Jalen Brunson Jokic struggles If you put him in a One on one situation If you're If it's two minutes left, a minute 30 left, and you need a bucket, I don't know if Jokic can get it for you every time. Oh, yeah, clutch. Brunson, to your point, I've been watching the NBA since 1980, religiously. The person I was most fearful in crunch time was Jordan. Jordan. Without a doubt. Second most fearful? Reggie. No, Bird. Oh. Bird. Every time I was just like, it's over. You just knew he was going to find a way to win. I think Brunson is like approaching, you just knew coming down the stretch, he's going to score. Every time. Let's tell the truth. That drive he had over Wembley that everyone's saying is one of the greatest plays in NBA history, blatant push off. Elbowed him in the stomach. Nah, ain't going to fuck that. Nah, I have no reason. But so was Jordan's push off on Byron Russell. So, you know, like, what am I going to do? You can take his face off the screen, Chris. I'm not playing that. His face is disgusting to me. But it says Charlemagne de Gaulle gives him the say. Well, listen, I don't have no remorse for Victor Wembeana. I told y'all this shit before on the pod, and I saw y'all comments, and y'all said I was tripping. The most overhyped so-called superstar face of the league ever. I hated the David and Goliath marketing. How the fuck is he Goliath? He hasn't won anything. The Knicks and Spurs, this iteration of the Spurs team and the Knicks being in the finals should have been an even exchange across the board. This shouldn't have been, I understand that, you know, Vegas had odds two to one, but what has Victor Wembeana won for him to be Goliath? He's Goliath because he's tall. And Jalen is small. Like, he's not a tough giant to slay. Who was the fucking Victor Wembeana? He just beat the defending champs. Who everybody thought would be untouchable this year. Injured defending champs. Missing two starters. Injured Minnesota Timberwolves team. What are we talking about? Like, the hype for Victor is ridiculous. It's because you see moments where it all comes into focus, and you're like, there are moments where you're like, if he strings enough of these moments, he's going to win. You're like, if he strings enough of these moments, you're like, if he strings enough of these moments, If you gave him the bucket around the rim, you probably could. How the fuck are you working out with KG and Hakeem Olajuwon in the offseason, but you still out there trying to play like Kevin Durant? That guy is so overrated, yo. He's beyond overrated. When OG backed him down and dunked on him two hands, I'm like, this guy is, he's worthless in the fourth quarter. You can't stop, you can't get me a bucket in the fourth, and you can't even stop people from getting buckets in the fourth? Like, he's a, he's overrated. He's still young, so I'll give him time, because, like, people were saying this about Braun, fourth quarter Braun, and he changed his game where he became more dependable. I was thinking about what. Not to Brunson's level, though. Not Brunson's level, but still way better than in the beginning of his career. This is Brunson's first NBA Finals, and he showed us who he is. That's true. That's Captain fucking Clutch. I think they should call him Captain Crunch, okay? Put him on the front of the fucking Captain Crunch box. Fuck Wheaties, okay? But he showed us who he is. He showed us who he is. Victor showed us who he is. This was literally supposed to be a star-making Finals for Victor Wimbeon. It couldn't get no better. You're playing against the New York Knicks in the number one media market. You're the face of the league, for whatever reason, or supposed to be the face of the league, and all you did was show us why you're not ready to be the face of the league and why foreigners can't be the face of the league. So is Brunson face of the league? Right now. I think he is. Right now. But also the face of the league conversation is a little much, too, because there's only been a few faces of the league. There's only been a few. Magic, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, LeBron, Steph, and then you have the other people like the Shaquille O'Neals. Did you say Kobe? I don't think so. That was the time Kobe had it for. Kobe had culture. The league didn't want to give it to Kobe because of the other stuff that happened. You know what I mean? Like, the league didn't. They didn't want to make him the face of the league, but he had it. He went to three finals in a row. One, two, you know, like, he was. Kobe should have won MVP one of those years. Shaq should have been the face of the league at a certain point. I think Shaq was at a. I think he was at a certain point. Because he had the endorsements. He had the publicity there. I think he was. He had the rings. I feel like they were co-face of the league during their run with the Lakers because they both kind of had it. I think Kobe Bryant was an unofficial face of the league and he was a cultural face of the league. I don't think the NBA. I mean, even. Think about it. Even endorsements like McDonald's and everybody backed away from Kobe. Nike couldn't really run no major campaigns for him for a while. Like, they. Like, God bless the dead. Everybody does a lot of revisionist history to Kobe. He was. Yeah, that's true. He was amazing on the basketball court. Number two greatest basketball player of all time. But during that time, there was a lot of backing away at Kobe. Yeah. Kobe didn't get what he should have got. He was seen as selfish. Yeah. He shot all the time. Yeah. Even the 81-point game, it was like. Yeah. There was backlash against that. So, yeah, I think that's fair. It was that. Then it was the. When the stuff happened in Colorado, then it was the stuff with Shaq when he made the comments about. If you take. You see what I. I forgot what it was, but you see what Shaq. It was just a lot of reasons why the league didn't put the gas to Kobe. He was a divisive guy. Like, he wasn't nearly as well-loved when he was here, unfortunately, as he has been in death. Absolutely. There's been a new narrative. I think that's fair to say. And you keep. I'm going to tell you who will be, though, just to get off the spur of the moment. Listen to Knicks for a second. You let Cooper Flagg have an amazing season next year. And y'all going to understand what face of the league looks like. They've been waiting on a white guy. They've been waiting on an all-American white guy. He's got to get a new haircut. He's got to do a couple things, but he'll be all right. Hey, he'll be fine. As long as he don't do nothing to insult anybody. You know what I'm saying? And he stays on the straight and narrow. If he comes out in balls next year, you're going to see what face of the league looks like. Because he's ready to go. But Wimbiana is overhyped, man. So Luka can't be the face? No, he's not. The looking white guy? Yeah, he's not. L.A.? He's not from America. You're not from America. I don't make the rules. The New York Knicks are showing you the difference. Is there not a difference between the Knicks winning and OKC winning? Sure, but that's market. No, it's not. Who's the star of OKC? I feel. A foreigner. He's not. If Shy was from Newark. There's a difference between Toronto and, you know, Croatia or wherever Luka's from, right? Yeah, he's from Canada. The guy is from Toronto. He went to Kentucky. Like, he's not that foreign. He's not that foreign. No, he just got a Nike deal yesterday. He dates Kardashian. Don't translate. He had Converse. Nobody was wearing Converse because of Shy. It don't translate. Same thing with Denver. The star is a foreigner. It don't translate. I'll give you. I don't know if. I noticed we were mispronouncing it. Shy or Shea? Shea, whatever. Shea, all right, whatever. Can you imagine if Jokic was from Kansas? You know the conversations that they would be having. So, like, a nice Greg Oster tag. If Greg Oster tag was nice. Can you imagine. Can you imagine the conversations that would be happening around Jokic if he was from fucking Kansas? Like, it's just different in New York. The Knicks are showing us that. Story franchise. Hasn't won in 53 years. Biggest media market. Yo, Jalen Burns, they've been on everything over the last week. Yeah. That's great. They've been on everything. Like, that is. That's the difference between being an American NBA superstar and being a superstar from another country. Well, people love OG. He's the second biggest hero to come out of this. He's not American. But it's Jalen. We love OG, but it's Jalen. It's because of Jalen and Cat. Like, we. And OG's right there. We love. I love OG. He's from Nigeria. OG is probably. OG has become one of my favorite players in the NBA because those are the type of players I like. I rooted for the Draymond Greens of the world. I sat here last time before Game 4. I was like, he's the second most important player on the. I think you're right. God damn it if he didn't win that game. Now, did he foul on that layup? Yes. Oh, come on. Yo, Christian. No, no, no. We just have to tell the truth here. We have to tell the truth. In Game 4, when they were down 30, the amount of text I was getting from Knicks fans being like, the fix is in. This shit is fucking rigged. It's the. So if it was rigged, why didn't they call the foul at the end? It wasn't rigged. I thought refs missed a lot. The Knicks fans were showing their ass when they were down 30. Let's be honest. Who cares? Yeah, so what? It has to be said. Because there's been so much cockiness and swagger since then. I'm like, you guys were fucking panicking. I have the text. I have the receipts from Harcourt. I'm laughing because you're not 100% wrong, but it don't matter. I'm 100% right. That's what I'm saying. We had Jose Alvarado on and Jose was saying how. He was just talking about how fucked up the energy was for Game 3. Right. Right? He was just like, yo, we had to be there mad early. He was just like, everything was off. And I was like, yo, that was God. Because I think about it, right? If I had Knicks in six, but after seeing what I saw, Knicks would have swept the Spurs. I really believe that if they didn't have that disruption of President Trump coming for Game 3. Can you imagine if the Knicks had won Game 3 and then won Game 4 the way that they did in Madison Square Garden? New York would be missing two boroughs right now. Like right now, two boroughs gone. Up in flames. Immediately. Bronx, out of here. Okay? They done burnt the Bronx the fuck down. All right? Parts of Brooklyn gone. I'm actually surprised. We were pretty tame. Like. We ain't destroyed the city that much. Can we acknowledge and salute the real MVP of the series? Who? The Sixers fan who came and showed up in the Dennis Rodman jersey. Oh, he was a Sixers fan? Yeah, he's from Philly. Yo, this is wild. Well, he's a Spurs fan? No, he's a Sixers fan. He was just looking to avenge what they did to us. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. So he wore a Spurs jersey just because he wanted action? Yeah. He just wanted the smoke. That's why I'm not mad at a lot of Spurs fans I saw getting beat up. No. Because, no, I saw a lot of that type of trolling, yo. You seen the kid Ty Lill had to stop this one kid. He was like, yo, what the fuck are you doing? You from New York. Stop doing that shit for fucking clout. He put on the Spurs jersey and then was taunting the crowd of New Yorkers. So you telling me that this guy that they calling the Incredible Hulk put on a Spurs jersey when he's a Philly fan, he just wanted action? That's it. Where you heard this from, Chris? From his IG account, DWallace underscore Wallace 27. I'm from North Philly. I just wanted the smoke. Oh, wow. Yo, don't fuck with that guy. Wow. Thank you, sir. Thank you for your service. Yeah, he different. Wow. Wow. Wow. I was watching that video and I was thinking to myself, too, boy, people really can't fight no more. Not him, of course, but everybody that was swinging on him. Because they couldn't do nothing with him. But he's solid, bro. So, hold on. Go back to that caption, Chris. So a 76ers fan hated the Knicks so much that he put on a Robin Spurs jersey just to engage in physical combat with Knicks fans. This is legendary. You know what was his name? Salute to D underscore Wallace 27. I did not know this story, but I respect it. I give it to him. Even the choice of jersey. I give it to him, man. That's how you know he's not a real Spurs. Rodman? He was on the Spurs for five seconds. They hated him. But still, you picked one of the craziest motherfuckers of all time just to go out there and start banging with people? Shout out to you, man. Drop on the clues box for D. Wallace. D. Wallace underscore 27. I won't say this about Victor when beyond, though, because I was thinking about, like, marketing. Remember I was saying that he needs something that can help him connect with culture? Number one, first of all, in order to connect with culture, you have to win. That's first. But you got to be great. You got to be dominant. He was not that in the NBA finals. So he's way behind the eight ball. But there is an angle that came out of this that he can run with. Got to be the heel. I think that's it. Be the villain. Be the bad guy. He don't got it in him. He's so. Oh, he gave us heel. He gave us villain. Naturally, organically, we hate him right now. I don't like Victor when beyond. I don't like the way he acts. I don't like the way he carries itself. I don't like how dirty he is as a player. I didn't like his postgame, the way he was talking when he was like, oh, such and such. Hope to talk to y'all. Never all that shit like that. I didn't like when they were down three to one. Everybody knows we're going to come back. Who the fuck is everybody? Everybody where? Yeah. But then he's showing up the games and religious garb and painting in the park. Fuck all that. He'll be a heel. Fuck all that. You got to go straight heel. That is heel. He's rejecting us. That's right. He's saying, I don't give a shit about your clubs and your American culture and all that. Oh, OK. Go full bad guy. Mafia boss. You guys are all fucking peasants. I'm going to sketch these statues. I'm going to do my French thing. I like it. I think it's a great narrative. He should go straight mob boss and we can call him big pussy. That's what we need. Let Victor Wimby on and go straight mob boss, straight, straight bad guy. We call him big pussy. OK. But then he got to win. You got to win. He got to win if he's going to do that. You got to. That's the whole key to being a generational face of the league. You got to dominate. Somebody said to me, Shaq got swept in his first finals when he was 22, 23. Yeah, but Shaq still dominated. Shaq averaged like 28, that's it, 28, 12 and shot 60 percent from the field. We just don't remember that because Hakeem Olajuwon was otherworldly. Hakeem Olajuwon took Shaq to school in ways we can't even imagine. But Shaq was still dominant. If Victor Wimby on and goes out there and averages 28 and 12, shoots 60 percent from the field. I mean, he got 26, 11 and three blocks. Who? Those are dominant numbers. Yeah, but his field goal percentage was like 40 something. He didn't shoot. He didn't show up in the fourth quarter at all. Chris, he disappeared in the fourth quarter for the motherfucking San Antonio Spurs, man. And Shaq averaged six assists a game. Look, pull up his fourth quarter stat. And then in game five, 19 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks in a fucking potential elimination game. Come on, man. Come on. What's his fourth quarter stat? In the fourth quarter of the 2026 NBA finals against the New York Knicks, Victor Wimby on an average 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds. And how many is this? Half an assist. Half an assist on 34.3 percent shooting from the field and 25 percent from three-point range. Garbage. Yeah, that's not good enough. Garbage. Garbage. Now, you know what the Spurs need? Dylan Harper. Now, Dylan Harper, that's going to be like Wimby on his Kobe to his Shaq. Harper's a beast. Harper's going to be a killer. Man, he just took Fox's spot. Fox got to come off the bench. I don't give a fuck how much they pay him. I know, that's great. That's crazy. Harper should be starting next year. Well, Harper is that guy that can go get them a bucket in the fourth quarter. That's what they need. They needed somebody that can go get them a bucket. That's what I'm talking about. But, yes. One thing I'm a little bit worried for because now New York is going to, we already put all these guys on a pedestal, but now it's going to be like out of this world type of love. I hope it don't get to their head and they start like partying too much and girls and all that type of stuff. They got one. I mean, listen, the thing about it, a lot of them are very. This could be like a dynasty type of stuff. But a lot of them are stable. You know, Cat about to get married, right? Yeah. Jose Alvarado's married with four kids. Got one on the way. Got three daughters and one son on the way. Jalen Brunson been with the same woman since high school. Nice Jewish girl. They're still basketball players at the end of the day, man. No, I don't believe that. I see a level of discipline and maturity. That was the other thing that I saw that the Spurs didn't have. The Spurs are a bunch of kids playing against a bunch of grown men. Like, you know, neither one of them had finals experience, but those guys that they were on the court against, you know, in the Knicks uniforms just had more experience, period. And you saw that shit show up. I don't need the Knicks to ever win another championship. It's great if they do. Why not? Let me tell you something, man. I saw. I can't remember the dude on first take. What's his name? His name Vince or Victor. I'm going to send you this clip, Chris. This is by far one of the worst takes I've ever heard. If you only get one, they're going to just think it's a fluke. They're going to think, oh, everybody was hurt. That's what this guy said. I don't agree with that. I mean, like. There's no such thing. A ring is a ring, bro. But some people can make the argument. Like, you know how the championship in the bubble, they put an asterisk next to it? No. They do. They don't give them full credit for that championship. A ring is a ring. You can't play. This is a full ring. There's no asterisk. Exactly. But every team was hurt in the playoffs. Like, on both sides. East and west. But that's the game. It's always like that this time of year. The Spurs were healthy. I mean. Look, let's say Giannis goes to Boston, which is, you know, when we're taping, it's looking like that's what's going to happen. Whoa. It's, you know, there's no guarantees in this thing. Whoa. I mean, you got to remember. Who would they have to give up? They're talking about, like, a three-team trade where they would route Jalen Brown to, like, Atlanta or a team like that. It'd be a lot of draft picks. I saw that. All right, here's this clip. Listen to this clip. This is one. This is one. This is one of the worst takes I've ever heard in my life. How do we know that any of the last eight champions are actually validated because they have not done it again? Giannis is itching to get out. Boston is thinking about trading Jalen Brown. They don't believe in their one championship. LeBron's one championship in L.A. was not enough. So why would it be enough for us? Validate is the Larry O'Brien that I put on that shelf and it stays there forever. That's the validation. The Lakers think. Oh, you mean participation trophy then? I'm sorry. Larry O'Brien is a participation trophy? If everybody gets one. It is an actual trophy. You won the league that year. I'd like to know that greatness is valid. I literally don't understand what they're arguing. He don't know what the fuck he's arguing about. I can't even. What's his name? That is one of the worst. We got to find his name. That's one of the worst takes I've ever heard on television. The reason it's one of the worst takes I've ever heard on television is because a ring is a ring. The reality of the situation is some rings mean more than. Others. This New York Knick ring after the Knicks not winning a championship for 53 fucking years in the fashion that they did it when they went, what, 16-3 in the playoffs? Un-fucking-believable. That ring is worth more than both rings LeBron got in Miami. LeBron's Cleveland ring is a ring. That's a big ring. Dwyane Wade's first heat ring when he led them. He led them to the finals with Shaq. That's a ring. Dirk Nowitzki's 2011 Mavericks ring. That's a ring. This is worth more than the Durant Warriors ring. Easy call. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Easy call. Easy. I would love to discredit this in some way. This whole last two weeks has been very painful for me, but it is what it is. Nah, man. They did it. And I don't even understand. I don't. How all of a sudden did Larry O'Brien have participation? Yeah, that's. I don't know. Do you know how hard it is to win a championship? You play 82 games. You go to the finals. You do all this training for preseason. Then you play 82 games. Then you play another potential 20. games in the playoffs and fucking it's a participation trophy horrible take right now i don't now we're moving the goalposts now you got to win two rings to be considered legitimate no vincent goodwill vincent who's been around for a while i remember him he vincent goodwill take well it should be vincent bad take okay because that was horrible horrible

big of a star you are until something bad happens yeah like i it's our guy so it's like i didn't realize how big he is i know he won like like the biggest award in country music or whatever but at the same time why is every single outlet covering the split because it's jelly roll and jelly roll has been on a winning streak for a long time you know what i mean so this is like the first thing that you're like oh some dirt on jelly roll you know i mean it's not even dirt it's just like yo he's getting a divorce which is horrible to see you know because him and his woman been together for a long long time but oh man it just comes with the territory i guess i don't fucking know meaning meaning the the the negative press comes with the territory but it's not negative press it's just his life

wedding jelly roll welcomed the son with another woman right but they were married in 2015 so i pushed up the time yeah but that don't mean nothing no because i mean i'm she had to know about that right you don't you know i don't know man was he at the uh white house too i don't think so no i hope not no i don't think so okay good salute to jelly man prayers up for big jelly roll what else we got chris we just running through some things running through some all means necessary oh let's play that play nikki minaj on the illuminati or she's speaking about you showing me hey people do think i'm in the illuminati i was just having this conversation illuminati real my situation it's very personal there definitely is a group of people that have made things very difficult for me one person didn't really like me and they happened to be in a powerful position and they were able to use their influence to make people go against me however it definitely has been spiritual now who what they call themselves and what they proclaim to be only they could tell you that yeah but is it has it been a you know spiritual warfare absolutely if anything ever happened i'd slide for you i just want you to know that i would totally slide illuminati real my jesus i don't know man i ain't got to that level to know if the illuminati is real or not yet but i do know that um i have a comic book called illuminati yeah i put out five issues and it may or may not be based on a true story and uh the full graphic novel will be out june 23rd i believe it is so or july 23rd i don't remember but it'll be out this summer okay but it's called illuminati and look it up i don't understand why people want to believe in secret societies well why would you put out comic books named after him maybe that's because i'm playing with their emotions but what i mean when i say that is if you look at something like the epstein files there's clearly some other shit going on and they're going on i don't know if they're going to be able to do that but i don't know if they're going to be able to do that and they're going on i think at i think it's going on in those industries this shit that's going on in the music industry i don't think that's no secret society i think that is just some people who have amassed some power they've amassed some money they've amassed some influence and they might you know create a world you know within a world but it don't have no real power they're not making no real world decisions about things like you know somebody you know not liking you and and you know conspiring against you to tell all his people like yo i don't fuck with that individual so now you're blackballed or they decide not to play your music or they decide you know like how they like not to have you perform at certain venues and stuff like that i don't know if that's like secret society shit or just some people who got some power within the industry yeah so i would say it's people with power but i think the whole secret society stuff is it makes other people feel good because it gives an explanation why they're failed yeah no i agree with that people do want to justify their failures so because i i was i was uh i did the grits and eggs podcast earlier i was with uh the Deontay Collin, Big Ice Cub Cat. We were talking, and I was like, man, I remember back in 05, 06, watching videos about people in the industry being in the Illuminati and being like, oh, my God, these motherfuckers are sick. Look at the type of shit they do. Now I'm starring in those videos 20 years later. 20 years later, I'm starring in these videos. These motherfuckers think there's some wicked secret society, and you got to sacrifice gerbils and do X, Y, and Z to get to this place, and it's just like, nah, shit ain't that deep, bro. But then also you have some people lean into it, so then it keeps that, you know, all this talk going. If I lean into it, I'm leaning into it the same way I'm telling Victor it wouldn't be an honor to lean into being a heel. Okay. Like, I'm playing with people's emotions. Like, you know, if these algo bosses can monetize people's emotions on social media. How come I can't monetize people's emotions when it comes to, you know, selling a comic book called Illuminati? It may or may not be based on a true story. Read this comic book and then discuss it amongst your friends and, you know, try to figure out if Charlemagne is revealing industry secrets or not. I mean, have there been conspiracies in history? Sure. Are there conspiracies taking place right now as we speak? Yes. Sure. Is there a singular organization that requires, requires a secret membership to that is in charge of all those decisions or orchestrating all those conspiracies? No. I mean, unlikely, right? So you can't say no for certain though. Well, you know, you can't say no for certain because we know that there's something like the Skull and Crossbones Club at Yale, right? Which traditionally. That's not a secret. Well, you know, it's not a secret because we know it, but the membership is a secret. The initiation rights are a secret. That part of it is secret. So there are. That can go for any fraternity. What? That can go for any fraternity, any sorority. Their shit is a secret how they do their initiations and their hazing and stuff like that. Right. But it just means people do set up these sort of infrastructures and these clubs. But they're not secret is what I'm saying. But I think with a fraternity, you can look up the members or the people who are part of it. Well, what about Freemasons? Can you look up who's a Freemason? I don't know. I don't think you could. Well, listen, what about the American fucking government? What about the Israeli government? Like, you know. We know all the elected officials and people like that. We just don't know the lobbyists. No, we can look up to who the lobbyists are, though. But I'm just saying there's all these conspiracies that happen within the government. Right. Like the CIA is not a secret society, but they got bad secrets. Shit that we don't know about. Yeah. I mean, I think what's different with this era is a lot of the stuff you would have seen happening behind the scenes or being secretive is happening right out front. Right. Like if there was one person who would be in the Illuminati. In the world right now, who's that person? Elon Musk. Exactly. Yeah. In the past, he would have been moving behind the scenes in the shadows. This guy's really not trying to hide anything that he's doing. None of them are. Like, it's all out in front right now. So do we even need an Illuminati right now? See, I feel like the Rothschilds. Yeah. Because it's like they're not in the public and you know they still running a lot of stuff. Yeah. But to the degree that they once. They did, I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of Elon shit, smoke and mirrors. Absolutely. But, you know. But he just did with space, you know, like. Yeah. There's no. Secret to that. Right. Like it's all happening out in front, which is what feels different right now. Did you see this shit? Peter Thiel's secret society of 200 plus elites just got leaked. Oh, is that the dialogue list? It's called Dialogue. I didn't see who's on it. Who's on it? Founded in 06 by Peter Thiel and Oren Hoffman. Invitation only. No public website. No member. A researcher found 113 names hidden in Dialogue's website code. The same hacker who exposed the U.S. no-fly list in 2023. Files included personal emails, phone numbers, emergency contacts and looking for love flags. In the directory, Alantar co-founder Joe Lonsdale, YouTube CEO Neil Mohan, Intuit co-founder Scott Cook, a Neuralink director, a Google Global vice president, Microsoft's former Xbox president. Also in the directory, Treasury Secretary Scott Bissett. Senator Ted Cruz, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, NATO's top commander in Europe, Jared Kushner. The leaked agenda includes panels on cult building, sex, and prepping for World War III. One session is titled, It's Fun to Be in Charge. An associated app offers matchmaking. Dialogue's chairman, Oren Hoffman, co-founded LiveRamp, founded Safegraph. Both classified as data brokers. His own data just leaked. A spokesperson for Thiel did not respond to requests for comment. Let me tell you something. I can't lie. I mean, if you were going to paint a picture of the Illuminati, that's kind of what it would look like. But that's my point. How are these people like that? They exist, right? But you think the head of the Illuminati is Jay-Z. That don't sound fucking insane. Elon Musk just made a trillion dollars. There's not a bar that Jay-Z could spit that's more influential than what Elon Musk did. Elon Musk can do the day with a push of a button. But I can see people make the case for it. I can't. I never understood the line, there's a secret society, all we ask is trust. That's not even his line. That's from a movie or TV show or something. What is that from? That's a show. But that's what I'm saying. It's like you're playing with people because if they think you're in a secret society and then you're putting lines like that in your songs, then it's like, all right, maybe it is. It's the same thing like what you're doing with the book. Flagrant Crew is a secret society. I mean, maybe we are. Like, who we are here, bro? This is a secret society. We got things that we keep amongst each other. I'm just saying why people can make a case for it. I can't. It blows my mind when I see, when I read stories like that, but then you'll have somebody, and I'm not saying this about Nicki, period, but just people believing that only the music industry or hip hop is the Illuminati. No, what I just read to you is the actual real Illuminati. The music industry is just a little blip on there. I'll put it to you. I'll put it to you like this. When I was working on books with Russell Simmons, right, I'd go out with him in the Hamptons and he was hanging around with some real money guys, like big, big money guys. And I was talking to one of them. I was like, you know, you guys seem to like chilling with Russell. This is before all the controversy around Russell, obviously. Meanwhile, they probably were doing worse than anything. Who knows? But they're kind of like, I don't want to, a mascot sounds kind of derogatory. Like, I'm not saying that, like, but he was. He was just kind of, it was cool to be able to say, oh, there's this person from the music industry and he's around and it's kind of fun. But like the level of influence and wealth and access between him and them was glaring. It's not even close, man. Like it, you would go with these guys and it was just like a whole different level. And he knew that. He was, he never thought he was on their level and he kind of knew what his role was to a dude. I agree. But that's the role. It's not equals. Also, there's like a negative connotation with secret societies. And it's just like, hey, what if we just operating a different level and we get along with each other because we're all at this level that you're not and we can do stuff that you can't relate to. So it's like people outside, it looks like a secret society to us. It's just, hey, this is just our friend group. Bro. That's just what it is. Is it a group chat or is it a secret society? Yeah, exactly. The shit, the logic, the logic. It don't make no sense to me. Like I was even sitting back this week, like I'm watching everybody be mad at Jay-Z, right? Oh, you know, the fake outrage. You know, people have Jay-Z derangement syndrome. It's actually insane to me, but they're mad because he, our reasonable doubt is coming out as a Target vinyl exclusive. Okay. I saw that. Yep. But if you go on Target's website, that's like the norm for every major artist, like G.N. X was a Target vinyl exclusive. J. Cole, the fall off was a Target vinyl exclusive. Taylor Swift has Target exclusives up there. Fucking Nicki Minaj with Prank Friday had Target exclusives. My point is the boycott's been a year. J. Cole fall off came out a couple of months ago. Why didn't they get no smoke? Yeah, that is weird. Why is the smoke reserved for Jay? Like I, it's just. Well, I can make the counter argument. Okay, please. The counter argument. I would think would be he staked out more of a position as a social activist. Kendrick and Cole. Well, I would say Jay-Z does more than Cole. Jay-Z does more, but nobody gives him credit for it. Kendrick and Cole are actually, especially Kendrick. They're the, they're like the symbols of social consciousness. Right. But I associate him more with actual work and organizations and that sort of thing. Right. So I would say he's been more out front with that. You could also make. I would say he's been more out front with that. He's reached the level of financial, commercial success that they haven't. He doesn't quote need it. I would assume the way that maybe you could argue they still need that at that, at this point. I don't think none of them need it. And then the crazy thing is what makes it exclusive is the color. It's just because it's, it's because it's white because the vinyl is actually white. That's what, that's why it's called an exclusive. Right. So what the fuck is that? It's coming out everywhere. It's just. It's on, it's on there. It's on rock, the rock. Uh, what is it? The rock something website. I can't remember the exact website, but it's on the website now. It's not even just explained. to target i would assume people are just saying we don't want him to fuck with target yeah period right but don't y'all think that's confused to me this is the same the irony of this situation is the same thing uh with the actual boycott to begin with right because target wasn't the only company that got rid of his diversity equity and inclusion program google meta amazon lowes mcdonald's all of these different entities but you didn't boycott any of them but you just said hey we're going to focus on target what's these guys give me some logic behind there's no logic we're all hip i mean it comes back to the conversation of we're all hypocrites just to what you know i bitch and moan about all these organizations celebrating trump propping up trump working with trump trump i still you know make my amazon prime order every day they'll shop where i i'd like not to right i'd like to somehow like divest myself from all these places that i feel are funding this and you know make me compromise but it's a real struggle and i think that's why so many people don't know what to do in this moment because the reach of these corporations is just tremendous right now is it you're on meta every day right where these techno lords are literally monetizing your emotions right the cloud capital is conflict do you think that they don't see a story like this jay-z target story and say hmm let's amplify that that's that's got them going that's got them you know going back and forth with each other that's what we need for the day i'm telling y'all read the book techno feudalism what killed capitalism the reason i even brought that up though is how do you have more smoke and more fake outrage and i'm putting fake that's why i put it in air quotes for jay-z then you do elon must be coming a fucking trillionaire this week it's not even the same it's not even the same conversation but there's one you should really clearly be upset about one really really should piss you the fuck off and it's not him having a fucking vinyl at target bro right like that's like unfortunately our community tends to do that we tear each other down way more than we do anything else but it bothers me so much i think two things with the target if i'm not mistaken not only did they remove the dei stuff they also used to have like a section of like black owned products that they got rid of no that's still there during the time they removed that i think it's still there i'm pretty sure they did i think that's why people were really outraged and then uh because you had the people that had products there they were saying like well damn what about us that's what they were saying to the people they was like yo y'all boycotting target but we just got ourselves that's the irony right like target and i know this from experience because like loudspeakers did a lot of initiatives with themselves they spent a ton of money supporting african-american creators and makers and you know gave them shelf space drove a lot of business to them and i had that conversation with some people where i'm like all right they've pulled back from it but to your guys point those people are still on the shelves they still need the business aren't you kind of cutting off your nose to spite your face if you now pull out of this because they've backed away from the larger initiative it was called like the makers or section or something like that and then a couple months ago passageball brian said that the boycott was over then he said the boycott wasn't over it was fast that was over which i didn't know what the difference between the target fast and the target boycott then tamika mallory you know and nina turner loved both of them that's that's my family they both said that the boycott still on then you had the activists in minnesota the young ladies i can't remember their names the young ladies who started the boycott they said that it's still on then they started beefing with tamika nina and jamal so it's just like after at some point all of this all of it starts to look just unserious so now the other thing is like all right where does this even start because now that i'm understanding how this clipper stuff and how the internet works it's like who's really motivating people to be upset at jay-z like who did jay-z piss off where they are this is a targeted effort in to try to fuck over jay-z where's it coming from because it's not people upset that he put his record don't open pandora's box alex now you understand what i'm saying these algo bosses these tech lords they monetize our emotions the cloud capital is conflict i know they look at the internet and they see little things that might have a little rumbling and they amplify them i know this is what happens oh so you don't even think i think that there's like somebody paying for people to maybe i think it's a little bit of both i think somebody could be paying to do it but i also think that these people that work at these companies know the answer thing that's why i keep telling y'all read this book techno feudalism will kill capitalism in the book it talks about how where where the actual resource every day they're mining us for engagement and for data so they got to keep us on these apps for as long as fucking possible the way to do that is conflict you will sit there and be arguing on your motherfucking phone all day with a bunch of people you don't fucking know that's how they keep good a bunch of people is the best case scenario more likely you're arguing with bots that's what i'm saying you're right you're right you're right that's not the article that 50 of you know most most people on social media now are bots but my point is there's somebody at these companies amplifying all of this that's how they keep us arguing with each other that's how they keep us on these apps that whole shit that they used to tell us about you can attract more flies with honey than you can dare do with vinegar bullshit bullshit the vinegar keeps us on fucking social media that's what we that's what we like we like that bit of shit that shit it's actually really crazy to watch like you you heard of um oh what's the shit called uh cursor cursor michael true the 25 year old ceo of cursor spacex bought them yesterday for 60 billion dollars in stock he's 25 years old spacex bought him for 60 billion dollars in stock yesterday he's got an ai company not one illuminati room not one gay rumor nobody's in an outrage about you know him being a capitalist and him not caring about his community none of that white guy 25 years old 60 billion with a b you can take jay-z 10 times rihanna 10 times put their wealth together and they still don't got 60 billion in stock but who gets all you the rumors placed on them who gets slandered on social media for weeks at a time well whoever that kid is also hasn't put himself out to the public the way that jay-z and rihanna have jay-z and rihanna don't say shit no but they're public the equivalent would be like if um who's like a fucking white country star i mean okay well let's go back okay you i i i your fair point chris okay what about the guy who bought them who bought who spacex is who bought them elon musk is always in the public eye he just made a trillion dollars why is he not getting his ass handed to him this week i feel he gets a lot of no they've tried to hand him his ass it doesn't matter you know why because he could just change the fucking algorithm turn that shit off they talking about me how y'all how dare y'all get on my app and talk shit about me while y'all driving in your teslas matter of fact make tesla not start for a couple hours make the drain a battery real quick press the off button make that shit not crank today the fucking like i just want y'all to think about the hypocrisy you're sitting in your tesla on fucking x complaining about capitalists and usually the capitalists you're complaining about are the black ones meanwhile you continue to make these techno lords rich as fuck i wish rich was the end of it i mean he's the most dangerous man in the world right now his influence is so so incredible right now and you know i don't even know where to begin with i mean you know that whole dodge thing is looking like doge doge whatever the fuck it is that's the biggest disaster in american history you know like i do let this fucking guy in there to fucking go crazy for three months and then pretend it never happened and then he gets the fucking biggest ipo in the world fucking a year later and like nobody's connecting the dots or worried about what it means it's mind-boggling this man put up 250 million dollars for donald trump's campaign that we know of that we know of use x to amplify mega messaging and suppress other messaging right and two years later he's a trillion just crazy what the this is what are we retarded yes yeah are we are we you know can nobody just connect that simple dot i got this man elected he gave me a Let's take another step back. I got this man elected, he gave me first dibs. Hey, hey, hey, Elon, take your chainsaw, go do what the fuck you need to do. Right. He took a chainsaw to the federal government because he paid for that. Which was obviously, in retrospect, a smokescreen for something else, a diversionary tactic. I still don't know what he did. In reality, I suspect it was somehow fucking manipulate the voting process, and we're going to get the fucking bill for that in November is what I predict. No, I thought he just has so, every person in America's information probably has every single, so screen number, he probably has everything. That's a great point, Chris. What the fuck was that about? Do you think he really cared about, you know, killing $15 million worth of research in Uganda and $20 million for pediatric cancer? He doesn't give a fuck one way or the other. That's what really struck me this weekend. You got to remember, this guy rose as a progressive hero, right? He rode that wave. He manipulated that narrative. I'm creating. These electric cars are going to save the environment. I'm environmental. He rode that for as long as it was worthwhile for him. He tricked me. And then he fucking threw that shit away. Yeah. And then he rode the, oh, I'm an economic reformer. I'm going to fucking save America money because I'm going to apply my bullshit. That was about something else. We still don't know what it was really about. Whatever information he got, it made him a trillionaire. And to your point, who knows what else is going to come of that in the future. Mm-hmm. But- But where's the outrage? Think about the shit the Manosphere got. They still on Rogan and Schultz and Theo Vaughn's head for getting the president elected. There's nobody who was more instrumental in getting the president elected than Elon Musk. And we made him a trillionaire. We rewarded him. We rewarded him. And don't say you didn't because you're on X every day and he's monetizing your emotions. Okay? Every day. Every single day. He's mining attention and data from you. I want you to think about it like you're a mine. And how you can get diamonds from a mine, that's what we are every day with social media. Our emotions, he's using conflict to do it. Our attention, our data. And we willingly have given it to him. Every single one of us. I don't go on. I haven't been on X since 2018. You are on that digital plantation picking digital cotton for free. Every day. And the only way that we'll be able to overthrow the technoloids is by disconnecting. You're on the other stuff, though. You're on the YouTube. I'm on Instagram. I'm not lying. I'm not acting like I'm not. I'm a crackhead. I'm deleting. The only one I have left is Instagram. Instagram is the only one I have left, too. Goodbye. You got to deactivate. You can't just delete. We know that. One step at a time. Yeah, I know. We know that. Chris, to be honest with you, it's kind of pointless for you to do it at this point because they already got all your data and everything. They have my data. There's nothing exciting going on. I'm worried about it. I'm worried about the emotional toll. Like, I have to leave my daughter at home. She's nervous about staying by herself. She's talking about she's going to go on her ADHD medication while we're gone. I was like, you don't need to go on fucking medication to make sure you're more focused and organized. You need to get off your fucking phone. Get off your phone. That's what's scrambling your fucking mind. I was like, the idea that, like, to lock in, you need medication, where this is what's fucking stealing your focus. This is what's causing anxiety. Anxiety, depression. This is what's freaking you out about the world. That's right. Like, that's got to be the first step. And if that doesn't work and you got to take something for ADHD, okay, let's talk about that. But the fact that that's your first step, it's killing me, man. I read Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport damn near a decade ago. I read From the Internet to the Internet. How to, I think, how to disconnect from the internet to reconnect with your soul, basically. The things that these guys were talking about damn near a decade ago, it's gotten progressively worse. Like, and I had Cal on Breakfast Club and I had, I think Cal might even did Burn This, but he definitely did my TV show. I want to talk to them again because I feel like things are worse than they even predicted, than they even imagined that they would be. Because they weren't talking about things like techno-feudalism. They were comparing what's going on on social media to, like, the tobacco industry. And they were talking about the addictiveness of it all, right? But now we're talking about capitalism evolving into this, this entity called techno-feudalism. And that is scary. I'm going to read y'all the actual definition of techno-feudalism before we move on and pay some bills. Techno-feudalism is a concept suggesting that capitalism has been replaced by a new economic system where big tech companies function like Medina, Devo, Feudal Lords. Instead of land, these tech giants control digital platforms, algorithms, and networks, extracting rent from users and smaller businesses who rely on them to survive. That's where we are at this point. And the only way to overthrow these techno-lords, if it's not too late, is by disconnecting. And, you know, when I did Grit Stags earlier and I was having this conversation with Mouse this weekend, Sleuth the Mouse, he was saying, well, how are we supposed to get messaging out without social media? And I said, the same way we got it out before social media, through books, through radio, through podcasts now, in art. We forget about art. We forget about books and we forget about art. You know how much I learned from reading? You know how much I learned from watching movies? How much I learned from watching films? There's a fantastic movie coming up. It's called How to Rob a Bank. Okay. And Pete Davidson is in it. Zoe Kravitz is in it. A dude who plays Lex Luthor. I can't remember his name. He's in it. And the movie is about these, this crew of people who start robbing banks. They record all of their heists and then they produce their heists and put them out on YouTube. And the series is called How to Rob a Bank. Oh, I think we're in it. I think Flagrant. Flagrant is definitely in How to Rob a Bank. 100% Flagrant is in How to Rob a Bank. That's actually a really good scene. But the movie is just showing how they're not really robbing the bank. They're getting revenge on the system. It shows you how if you don't take care of the least of us, the least of us will eventually rebel against you. Every single person in that movie has a reason to do what it is that they're doing. Pete Davidson is an army veteran who has lung cancer. And he's got a young child. He came back from Afghanistan, didn't have nothing. This country gave him a fuck you. So he's giving this country a fuck you back. The other couple has a child, I think, that died because of health issues at four years old. But you end up rooting for these people throughout this whole movie. And it shows how what they were doing just became a trend in society. Because I'm paraphrasing here, but there's a part in the movie where they're like, you gotta, you gotta have a better chance of robbing a bank and getting money than you do of having, of living this so-called American dream and having a livable wage in this country. And it is, the movie looks like it's based on actual data and statistics. That shit is great, yo. It's like, I think they used to either live stream the bank heist or they would like record it and put it out as a YouTube video. They would live stream some of them and then record the other ones, but they produced it as a TV show. So they would live stream it, but then they would, no, some of them were live streamed, some of them weren't. One of them was definitely a live stream, but they record it and they produce it and put it out on YouTube. This shit is dope. Like, it was a very, very, very dope movie. I forgot why I even started talking about that. You saw it already. I did. I saw it last week, actually. But why the fuck did we start talking about that? I don't remember. All I'm simply saying is, oh, yes. It's disconnecting art. That is a movie that has messaging through art. Like, it's teaching you about how wicked this capitalist system is and what is going to be the end result if we don't start taking care of the least of us. It's only a matter of time before people rebel. And I'm telling you something, America. It's going to be white people. I'm telling you that right fucking now. Are we the ones, are we rebelling or are we getting rebelled against? Y'all are rebelling because this is, this is really all. Working class white people. Huh? But even middle class because there's no middle class anymore. There's no middle class anymore. Like, at some point, there's going to be middle class white people who realize that their life is changing and they're like, wait a minute. But white people have a very difficult time identifying who's actually keeping them down. No, they don't. Yeah, they do. Fuck, they don't. Who raided the Capitol? When they thought that they, you know, their democracy was being stolen through voting. Right, that's my entire point. That wasn't the actual enemy in that case. Who killed the UnitedHealthcare CEO? Well, that's. What color was he? Who has taken multiple shots at the president of the United States of America? I'm saying, for the most part, the mass of white people, especially working class white people, vote against their own self-interests, act against their own self-interests. That's historically always been the case. And there's a lot who don't. And so what I'm asking folks now, whenever I see any of these crazy stories, whether it's Epstein files, whether it's what's going on, Iran, Israel, I don't want to hear nothing. I got one simple question. What are white people going to do about it? This is your country and you see your country changing into something that I don't even think you want. Because the reality is democracy is democracy. And people who know what democracy is and have felt democracy want to hold on to that. When they see that shit being sold, just literally sold to the techno lords, the other countries, at some point there's going to be a mass rebellion and it's going to come from white people. I don't feel it coming anytime soon. Chris, it's already happening. This is happening in small waves. And this how to rob a bank movie and other art like it. But the techno lords, I mean, yeah, they're a problem. But, you know, they're they're trans people using women's. Bathrooms. Chris is being sarcastic. I want anybody. No, but like, seriously, Chris is being sarcastic. There are there are immigrants eating dogs. Chris is being sarcastic, y'all. No, Chris is being sarcastic. If you knew what a brilliant idiot and you don't understand. I'm not being sarcastic. Yes, you are. Serious fucking issues. Chris, you're white and Jewish. They're going to think you're. No, they don't think you're being honest right now. They're they're immigrants stealing money places. This is sarcastic. Like, let's take this one step at a time, man. So imagine you went into a fucking bathroom and there's a like, I can't worry about a fucking feudal lord, man. There's somebody in the bathroom, but they want a fucking medal at my kid's swim meet, man. You know how fucked up that is? But to Chris's point, those issues are easier to grasp onto. It's easier to get people robbed up about that. He trained really fucking hard, man. It wasn't fair. I get what Chris is saying. It's easier to get people outraged about that. You would have gotten third place. No, I'm serious, man. It's fucked up. My daughter would have gotten third place at the fucking local swim meet. Third, she would have got a bronze. She would have gotten a fucking bronze medal. She cried, man. She cried after that meet. I didn't know what to tell her. How could I tell her that the other kid had a penis? How could I tell her that? It's easier to get people worked up and outraged over stuff like that because they can understand it more. They don't understand what's really going on. But that's why they don't understand why this movie, like How to Rob a Pink, is very, very, very good. Speaking of that- But if there was any credibility to that story, you saw there was a terrorist plot on that whole UFC event. Yes. Three people. Yeah. They stopped three people from fucking blowing that shit up. And they said they only wanted to do it. They wanted to take out the rich and the elite. Well, they got half of it. Yeah. I'm just saying, and by the way, I'm not even going to sit here and say if, when, because ain't shit going to change. But you're not encouraging that because they try to twist your words up and make it seem like you're encouraging that type of stuff. I'm not encouraging nothing. I'm just telling you what the what is actually going to happen in this. It's already happening. We're watching it happen. It's going to be more of it. The more economically stressed people get, you know, the more people can't take care of their basic needs. I know that they're hoping that everybody just bows down and take this universal basic income that they start giving folks to pacify them. No, people are not going to go for that because too many people are going to die way before that happens. Too many people are not going to have health care and not going to be able to go to the hospital and take care of their basic needs and they're going to fucking die. Too many people are going to get evicted and be homeless on the street before any of that happens. There is going to be a massive revolt at some point and it's going to be white people who lead the change. All right. I'm going to be leading the way. I'm going to grab that fucking bronze medal that my daughter fucking deserves. I'm going to put it around her neck. I'm going to say, God bless fucking America. And then things are going to be better. Oh, God. Let's pay some bills. This is brilliant. It is. This is jokes, guys. Jokes. I'm not joking. I mean, you know, I'm not joking. I got to admit, I got to take a L. I underestimated how serious some of this shit was. I was. I'm sorry. Is that camera on? Is this fucking filming? Yes. I'm sorry, America. I didn't understand. I didn't understand, man. When that tear dripped down my daughter's fucking cheek at the swim meet. What could I tell her? Jesus Christ. The perfect lunch combo.

Some of the people we got on there is, um, Catlin Palufo, Jay Jarden, Mark Norman, Natalie Cuomo, Sam J, uh, Vic Satya. We got like a lot of funny guys. I'm producing it. We put out clips from the show that is June 24th. And then the following month, July 25th, I do a tennis clinic where I basically rent out four courts here in the city. Um, we have all, we have a bunch of coaches, all different skill levels. So if you've never picked up a tennis court, I mean a racket, or if you're pretty good, we have the skill level for you. And yeah, that's just a fun day. We have music giveaway, food, all that type of stuff that also is here in the city. That is at, theallloveracketclub.com. That's where you can get your tickets for that. And then yeah, tune in every Sunday at 11 AM, my show AM mornings. It's a live call-in show I do. We talk about news, pop culture, politics, all that stuff. It's really fun. I have a nice little community growing, uh, like people actually tune in live. And then if you can't tune in live, you can just watch the next day on either Spotify or YouTube. Yeah. It's really cool. You got to call in one of these days. Um, I'm trying to find a good topic for you that Sunday morning, Sunday morning. I mean, 11 AM show. We run two hours. You'll be up. Right. That's a lot. All right. Well, no, 11 AM. I'll be up by 11 AM. Unless I sleep in, I'll be up by 11 AM for the most part. But yeah, nah, it's a really fun show. AM mornings. You can catch us on YouTube and Spotify. All right. Let's, um, let's do some asking idiots, man. Let's do some asking idiots, man. Since it's just me here and no Hezekiah Walker. Oh, Chris, did you see this shit about, uh, um, damn, I just lost it. Uh, Jeffrey F, uh, Jeffrey Epstein said, yeah, how he, um, he, he, he said that he, uh, had a bunch of stuff on Trump and he was, he was using it to keep himself out of jail. Yeah. Yeah. It said new, newly uncovered notes suggest Jeffrey Epstein believed he had damaging information, about Donald Trump. And during Trump's first term, tried using that information to avoid prison, man. Oh man. Hmm. You, you, you, you, you got, you, you're a historian, Chris. Has there ever been a president that has been this compromised by so many different people? Not even remotely, not even remotely. Dang. Who you think had them? Who you think had more control? Oh, talk into the mic, Chris. Oh, recording. Yeah. I stand by everything I just said. Okay. He said, Chris said, not even close. So, so who had him first? I believe the Russians had him first. The Russians had him first. I believe the Russians basically propped him up to a degree. They never thought it would work, right? I mean, look, even if you take out Trump's moral or lack of morals out of the equation, right, because I think that's ultimately how they compromised him, just the amount of financial corners he backs himself into over his career, where he builds things up and trashes them and goes bankrupt and has to rebuild and get new funding. He was constantly on the hunt for money. Who's been flushed to give money to whoever wants it at a price over the last 25 years? The Russians, also the Chinese, but mainly the Russians. And if you look at, I believe it's Deutsche Bank, the bank that's bailed him out a lot of times over the years that has ties to the Russians, it starts to add up. And then, I don't know, let's say you're a guy. You're a guy who's best friends with a known sex criminal. Pedophile pimp. Pimp. I don't know what your own particular tastes and habits are, but would it be outrageous to suggest that you're attracted to younger women? I'm not saying children, but I'm just saying you have a history of dating younger women. Russia is always quick to provide what's known as honeypots. Younger women that compromise. Older, richer men who lack discipline in that area, let's say. So who did Epstein work for? That's what I, who was he? I think Epstein worked for Epstein. Like, I don't, I don't buy necessarily the narrative that he was a Mossad agent that was sent here on a mission to compromise all these rich Americans. I think at a certain. That don't just happen by. No, no, no. Circles. And obviously, I don't know. None of us know. But my guess is that at a certain. I think Epstein was. I think Epstein was going to do what Epstein did regardless. I think Epstein was a guy who always wanted to be around beautiful women and lots of money, just to be a complete reductionist, just to take it down. He wanted to be around power. He wanted to be around money. He wanted to be around beautiful women, young women. And over time, he figured out how to court those sort of relationships and leverage those sorts of relationships. And he understood that there are a lot of really rich guys out there who, one of their, maybe many Achilles heels is wanting to be around young. Attractive women. And he figured out how to leverage it. And then at a certain point, I think a Mossad, but maybe also other, you know, intelligence agencies notice what's going on because they have tentacles everywhere and they know about this shit and they're watching the same people. And they say, this guy might not be a bad asset right here. He's already doing it. And then if you want to get really conspiratorial, if that's a word, then maybe he's a little more prone to work with a Mossad. Because he's Jewish and because he has those connections and there's a cultural affinity, whatever you want to call it. That's all within the realm of possibility. Sure. You know, I don't think that they constructed him would be my guess. I think they identified him for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we do that. I mean, every country does that, right? You know, England goes around historically over the years and they identified people in different countries that could be useful to them. And then the fire is already going a little bit and then they throw a little bit of gas on it. And give that person a little and then they build it up. But like, they don't generally create people wholesale from scratch, if that makes sense. So you think it's Russia, Epstein, then Bibi Netanyahu? Well, you know, I mean, in terms of how he's being manipulated, Trump being manipulated. We know it was definitely those three entities, right? Right. But in what order did they happen? Well, obviously, Epstein happened first because Epstein and Trump had a relationship. They were friends by both of their admissions. They were best friends. Got you. All right. So that relationship predates Trump in politics in this sort of way. You know, I think what's interesting that's going to happen now is you're seeing a lot of people on the right, you know, people traditionally in media outlets in Israel that have supported Bibi. They're turning against Trump now because they don't like the deal or, you know, this thing's not even a deal. To call it a deal is generous. But they don't like the deal. They don't like the proposed deal. And now the right wing media platforms in Israel are starting to attack Trump. And you've also seen Trump start to attack Bibi a little bit. You've seen those leaks about Trump went off on Bibi Netanyahu. I always feel like all of that's for show, though. I always feel like I could see Trump being like, look, I got to, like, throw some shots your way right now. I'm losing ground at home. Just eat it. And you'll still get what you want in the long run. Yeah. I could see a scenario like that. Yeah. Versus Bibi. I got Israel in five. I'm telling you that right now. But they still rely on us for a lot. Nah, buddy. Nah. Because we keep forgetting one thing. You keep saying us. Trump keeps saying me. Oh. And, you know, if he got to, if it's between saving himself and the American people, guess who Donald, President Donald Trump is going to choose every single time. Right. President Donald Trump. And I think that somebody like Bibi Netanyahu. knows that. So whatever they got on him, boy, it must be good. All right. Some asking idiots, man. Some asking idiots. Eugenius Williams says, do you ever get tired of the false narratives put out about you by other media platforms? Wow. Eugenius Williams. Fantastic question. Do I ever get tired of the false narratives put out about you by other media platforms? Yes. The answer, of course, to that would be yes. Like, who wants to constantly hear false narratives put out, you know, about you on other media platforms? But I don't get tired of them enough to try to correct them because I'm fully aware that nobody cares about the truth. Nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. And like I said earlier, it's funny when you go from, you know, 2004, 2005, 2006, being online, reading about the Illuminati and reading about these people that y'all thought were these larger-than-life figures who just was controlling so many things. And I believed a lot of that shit in 05, 06. And like I said, 20 years later, I'm starring in them. I'm starring in them. And, you know, in a lot of those YouTube videos about the Illuminati. So I want to star in them one day. I'm about to say that. It's flattering in a way. It's flattering that I guess I've accomplished enough to where people have to say I'm in the Illuminati. Yeah. Or I have to be doing something nefarious to be in the position that I'm in. Well, let me ask you this. I'll quote who I get a kick out of. Charlamagne shouldn't care that people criticize him or I'm attacking him or breaking his stuff down. That's what's supposed to happen when you reach a certain level. I agree with that. And you should just be happy and let us have fun because that's all this is for us. We're just having fun. I think he's like, we're in the internet dungeon or I forget what the term he used was. He's like, just let us fucking throw around our theories. And, you know, why should you even give a shit, basically? Because I'm creating content, too. And I got a platform, too. So that's what everybody hopes, right? They hope that, all right, I'm going to say these things. I'm going to say these things. He's probably not even going to see it. And if he does see it, he's not going to say nothing. But if he says something. But what if I decide to actually say something? Then what? Like, then what? And some things need to be discussed. And if I do discuss them, trust me, it's not because I'm, you know, fed up with what y'all talking about. But I'd rather y'all talk than not say anything. Like, I would rather y'all sit around and discuss every day that I've fallen off as opposed to not talk about me at all. Oh, really? Yes. Because the people who've really fallen off don't get discussed. Like, if you've really, if you're really not, you know, relevant, like a lot of these videos like to say I am, then you wouldn't discuss me at all, you know? And I'm fully aware that, I'm also fully aware that sometimes. But if you're truly doing this life thing right, if you're truly growing and evolving the way that you're supposed to, people shouldn't recognize you anymore. Like, you should completely motherfucking change to them. Like, if they're still stuck where they were and they haven't grown and they haven't evolved, you can't recognize growth and evolution in somebody else. And maybe you might recognize the growth and evolution and don't like it. That's fine too. Like, I don't have no problem with that either. Because I feel like that's what life is about. Like, I think you should constantly grow. You should constantly evolve. And some people you're going to lose. Some people you're going to gain. But the real moral of the story is, are you happy at the end of the day? Like, to answer your question, you genius Williams, the reason this shit really don't bother me is nobody can tell me about me. Like, I wake up with me every day, go to sleep with me every night. I've lived every single waking minute with me. I know what's true, I know what's not true. You cannot tell me about me. But, you know. That's why I don't get tired of the false narratives that the host of this show says about me. But it's okay to be gay. And there's nothing wrong with that. People call me gay all the time. Like Dame Dash goes on every single platform he can to call me gay. But that's because he got a crush on me. So you got a crush on me then? No. I mean, that's the logic. You go with it. Not at all. Not at all. What else we got? Oscar B. Savage on him. Ooh, the lowest point and how did you overcome it? Fantastic question, Oscar B. Savage. The lowest point and how did I overcome it? I'm going to tell you something, Oscar. It's very hard to say that I've had a lowest point. And the reason it's very hard to say that I had a lowest point because whatever point I was in, I was in that point because God wanted me to be in that point for that moment. And when I look back on it, it actually wasn't low at all. It was just a transition period. You know, when I think about low points, it has nothing to do with anything professional and things to do with me personally. And that's just how I might have been feeling, you know, in about a depression or, you know, dealing with some anxiety that I couldn't get out of or, you know, shit. I was in a low point. I was in a low point a couple of weeks ago because of that fucking, that, I had to get off the peptide, yo. Really? What? Wait, well, which one are you taking now? I stopped the NAD. Which one was that? Which one did you stop? The NAD. Why did you stop it? Well, one, they just say that you just do it for like six weeks. Yeah, and then you're supposed to lower the dose and I just stopped doing it because it's shit. One, to go there for two hours is like. Oh, that's the NAB, the NAB. I only did that once. I only did it once. I'm telling you, I was taking the pills and I stopped those, but then I was doing the shot. I don't know if it was the CJC-1295 maybe, or maybe the enclofamine, sorry. Long story short, that shit had me angry as a motherfucker. Really? What? Because I was wondering, I'm like, why the fuck am I so mad? Like, I would be getting mad at like the smallest shit. Aggravated or mad? Like, mad. Like, and like this, like at dumb shit. Like, not, and not. You sure it wasn't tests? Like, steroids, testosterone? Because that shit makes you mad. Bro, I don't know. I think so. Whatever it was, I had to say to myself, like, because I was thinking, I'm like, yo, what the fuck is going on? Like, my life is great. Like, I'm not really pissed off at anybody in particular. Like, what the fuck is happening? And I had to think about it. I'm like, yo, I bet you it's some fucking peptide. And then I started doing research on, hold on, I got it right here. I started doing research on the particular peptide I was using. And that shit had all the motherfucking symptoms. Like, anger. Suicidal ideations. All of that type of shit. Damn. The GLP-1. That's the skinny drug. You on a skinny shot? That ain't no skinny shot. Yes, it is. Well, I think it's different versions of GLP-1. GLP-1 is like the brand like Nike, but then it's like. Well, GLP-1's a type of drug. Yes, exactly. I'm microdosing that shit. But that's the one that makes you skinny. Yeah. Anger, depression, anxiety. Well, that shit ain't work for me. That shit ain't cause me to lose no weight. That shit just have me mad. Anger, depression, anxiety, and especially thoughts of suicide have been reported by some people taking GLP-1 medications. Although researchers have definitively established that the drugs. Although researchers have not definitively established that the drugs themselves are the cause. Listen, they haven't done enough research on a lot of these peptides yet. I'm telling you, as somebody who was on them all year long, I had all of that shit. Careful. That's why. And soon as I got off, it's like the light switch went off. And yes, I'm like, oh, okay, I'm back feeling like me now. Yeah, this stuff is too early. I'm just waiting for everybody around me to be the guinea pigs, and then I'll figure out what. We're in a no man's land right now with the GPL-1s, with the peptides, with the weed, truthfully. I haven't been on that all year. Right. And also, what's the shit they sell in the gas stations? Corny goat weed? No, the Croton. Cranum. Cranum. Yeah. What the fuck is that? They call it like a gas station heroin or something like that, but it's just. There's a natural version that now the Trump administration, who's the fucking senator from Oklahoma, Malarkey, whatever the fuck his name is, he's trying to push for that, and then they're trying to outlaw the synthetic version. But apparently, there are lots of people who are getting addicted on this stuff. And there's no research on any of this stuff, basically. I didn't want that shit. That shit had me paranoid. I thought I was having a real break. I'm like, holy shit, what the fuck is going on? Just old-fashioned eat right. Exercise. Eat right, exercise. I mean, that's what I do anyway. But I'm just saying, like, and I've been on it all year. So I started in January, and I should have took a break, but I didn't. So I've been on it all year. But now I'm like, get that shit the fuck away from me. What else we got? Let's do a couple more. Empty chair text says, if an alien invasion happened, who would you send up from each race to the aliens that represent each race? What the fuck? I don't fucking know, man. Yeah, we can do this. Huh? Huh? We can do this. Who? You're going to say Tom Brady. No. I'm going to say somebody else. Who am I going to say? I wouldn't say. I'm going to be honest. I don't know who I would send, because I don't even think that I would send anybody based on race. I really wouldn't. I think I would send them based on behavior that I've seen over the years. Who are the most empathetic people? Who are the most? Intelligent people. You know, who are the people that I know would go up there and not feel like, hey, man, I want to colonize your shit or take your shit. I want to feel like I'm more superior than you. Who's going to go up there and actually try to have olive branches and, you know, create a bond with these aliens? I think this new pope is good. He seems empathetic. Too religious. I like Larry David as kind of a wild card. I feel like go up there and keep it light. He's going to make a joke that pisses him off. He's good at showing both sides. I like him. I'm trying to think of who else. I'm definitely sending Michelle Obama. Who's that girl on the spectrum that goes on those boats? Greta. Yeah, Greta. Very empathetic. Right. Might send Daphne Joy, because she's always down for a good time. Right. I don't know what the aliens are into, but if Daphne Joy goes. I'm serious. Daphne Joy might go up there. Take me a second. I'm just saying. I can just. Feels like that scene. Definitely Michelle Obama, though. I can't really think of too many people that I can go trust and talk to fucking aliens, bro. That would have everybody's best interest in mind. I cannot think of too many people. What about Bernie? Nah, man. Maybe. Bernie might go up there and see all that tech and wonder how much that shit costs. And then start talking about cosmic capitalism or some shit like that. I don't know, yo. I feel like. I don't know. You know why I like Michelle Obama? And this is going to sound crazy, because she is a former first lady. She seems apolitical. She don't seem like she's a part of any party. She just seems like a person who cares about what's right. That's what I get from it. You know, even when I heard her talk the other day, and she was talking about how, why certain people voted for Trump. I thought she was right on the money with what she was saying. Like, I'm not discrediting, you know, racism and white supremacy. But I do think that some people just felt hopeless. And some people was just looking for some type of change. And they bought the con that he was selling. They bought the dream that Trump was selling them. So I think that's a. When I can look at somebody who I know is. When I hear somebody who I know is disgusted at the way things are. Disgusted that he's in the White House. But still have empathy for how he got there. Because of the people who voted for him. I'm like, she's different. Michelle Obama's different. Montani. No. Why not? He did great with Trump. Yeah. He's actually good. He sent him into the lines then. He handled it. He's smooth. I'm starting to believe the hype, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm starting to feel the hype. There might be something there. He's New York centric. He wins in New York and L.A. But his instincts are spot on. He played the Knicks shit correctly, man. You know how many mayors would have tried to be in the front row sitting next to fucking Chalamet and Ben Stiller and in the locker room and all that shit? He hung out at local bars. He sat up in the fucking nosebleed. He's a Democratic Socialist. He figured out. He passed Trump. He keyed in right next door. Is he a Social Democrat or Democratic Socialist? Because I just learned from Hassan Paika that they're different. I don't know. Because he always. Hassan calls himself a Democratic Socialist. And I'm like, I always say that I would identify as that until I realized, no, I would identify as a Social Democrat. And I always say Social Democrat. But he said Democratic Socialist. So what is. Because people liking Social. Democratic Socialist to Communists. I think he's a Democratic Socialist. Mondani. Yeah. I think he says he is. I think Mondani is New York specific, y'all. I don't think so. No. I think, if anything, he's not that New York. But he's figured out how to. I think he could do this in L.A. And that's why I said New York and L.A. are probably the only two places that he could get it done. But I think he's very, very New York specific. He's the hot guy in his market. You know how sometimes you go to a city and there's a rapper there that's like the guy, in his city. But nobody else knows him anyplace else? But the crazy thing is that he's the local New York guy that everybody across the country is, like, rooting for. I don't know about that. Yes. I go places and people are like, at least I got a good mayor. They don't say much. There's a lot of great mayors. I mean, there's a lot of great mayors throughout the country, though, man. You got Brandon Scott in Baltimore. He does a phenomenal job. But making waves the way that Mondani does. I mean, listen, I'm not knocking Mondani. He's the mayor of the biggest city in the world. Salute to him. I just don't know if it translates outside of New York City. We're talking about the aliens. I'm sending him today. Yeah, I don't know if I'm sending him the aliens. I'd rather send him and I don't want to lose the show. Can we send him to South Carolina first? Sorry, man. Let's see how he does in South Carolina first. To the aliens, Mondani? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't send him to see the aliens yet, bro. No, not the aliens. Come on, man. He's only been in, what, a year? Well, what if we send Michelle and we don't get her back? I'll keep her, too. She's dope. I'll keep her, I guess. You know what? You should stay here with us, Michelle. You're too good for that godforsaken planet. Bring the kids, all right? All right? Bring the kids, man. Barack, we didn't like the way he was playing footsie with Trump in the funeral. We'll come back to him. Barack's not bad. Barack wouldn't be bad to send him. But I just think Barack's too political. Barack is too, Barack is a Democrat tried and true. I don't get that from Michelle for some reason. I'm not, and I know Michelle is super liberal. I just don't get that from her. I feel like she's a Democrat, but she's equally aggravated by everyone else. By everybody. That's it. She's equally aggravated by everybody. I think the Democrats aggravate her as much as Republicans. Maybe not exactly the same, but close. And that's where we got to sit and talk to the aliens. Because I know that the aliens know more about us than we know more about them. And they're probably here because they're equally as, they're aggravated at the shit that we're doing to their planet. You know they always say that the aliens come around when there's talk of nuclear war or when there is nuclear war. And they come to save us. I didn't know they'd say that, but okay. Yes, they come to save us from ourselves. But where were they in 1945? They say that's when they really started to see. That is true. Yes. Post-World War II. Yes. You're right. Yes. They say that's when they really started to see sightings of UFOs and shit like that. Oh, wow. So my thing is we need people that are equally as aggravated with this planet as they probably are. And Michelle definitely fits that bill. Definitely. That's funny. Let's do one more. Well, wow. Oh, now UFC rapper. I mean, UFC fighter, whoever that was. He needs to apologize to Michelle. That was not callable. That shit was whack. No, he did exactly what he was brought there to do. Why should he apologize? That's true. I mean, even his people are upset. That whole, whatever. That whole setup was for moments like that. Yeah. I gave him donkey of the day. Oh, you did? Yeah. The reason I gave him, I mean, I gave him donkey of the day because it was just stupid, but Michelle Obama is a nerd. Am I right, America? Stuff like that, it just backfires on you because when you're at somebody like him who makes a comment about Michelle Obama, all you do is remind people of what this country no longer is. We remind people of what's not in the White House anymore. Class, dignity, intelligence, real patriots who actually gave a fuck about, you know, you know, more, more, more than just, than just themselves in this country. And when you see that, man, when you see, you know, him go up there and be so fucking classless to make that kind of comment about Michelle Obama, it just reminds you of what's not anymore in the White House. Yeah, that was corny shit. Underscore, taps, underscore. We can end with this one. If AI. Oh, I want to do two more. If AI solves human mortality, no war, illness, will humans find a way to kill each other? Absolutely. That's a fucking movie. Yeah. We always, we get bored. Yeah. By the way, you know, you shouldn't want mortality. Now, do I want to live as long as humanly possible? Yes, I feel like I'm going to live to be 101. That's what God has shown me. That's what he has said to me through others. I'm going to live to be 101. But you're supposed to go on to your next journey. That's how you have to look at life, bro. Like, you're not supposed to be on this journey forever. Like, that's just not the way the world works. Like, there is life and there is death for a reason. Some of us here, some of us are here a little bit longer than others. And when we're here a little bit longer than others, you know, God bless. But the ones of us that weren't, some of us made an impact in a very short period of time. And, you know, some people didn't. And by the way, somebody, some people make impact with one or two people. They're just their family. And that's fine too. But I just don't feel like we're supposed to be here forever. So I don't want AI to solve human mortality. No illness would be great. No war would be great. But we still have to die. Would you take a scenario where, so there's no illness, right? There's no war. So basically there's no internal or external forces that are going to kill you. I'm great with that. But in exchange for that, you get at a certain point, maybe it's your birth, your expiration date. You know that you're going to die, let's say at 107 or 94 or whatever it is. Like, would that be freeing to know, okay, I got until this amount of time and I can plan everything out, you know, accordingly and, you know, get everything lined up? Or is like the sense of that going to be hanging over everything all the time? And you always, because we all know we're going to die, but we all also trick ourselves into thinking, we got time. We got time or there's not, it's never definitive. It's always this kind of like gray area where you never really sit in that moment. But if I knew like, all right, I'm going to die on, you know, December 31st, 2000. And, you know, I don't even want to put a date on it. Yeah, that's great. Now I'm already like, fuck, you know? So, but like, but that's the point, right? Like, is that scarier in a way to know the date? And I'll even say it's a good date. You know, I'm not talking about dying in your fifties or your twenties. Your nineties, a hundred, eighties, something like that. That's a great question. I mean, I really don't know if it would be better to know the exact date. I feel like I wouldn't want to know the exact date, but if I didn't know the exact date, I would treat it like it's a vacation. I would treat it like, hey, I'm going on vacation at such and such time. The reason I wouldn't want to know that though, because that would mean I would have to know everybody else's too. Oh. And you wouldn't want that. Imagine that with your kids. Exactly. What if you find out your kid's gone? Expiration date with your kids? Yeah, yeah. Like I'm saying, like I wouldn't want that. Like God really has designed this perfectly. We the ones that keep fucking it up. We're fucking it. Even that question, if AI solves human mortality, we shouldn't be trying to solve human mortality now. Should we be trying to live in a world where there's no war or no illness? Absolutely. But trying to live forever? No. We all must go. And we all must go for a reason. Because I feel like there's another journey for us to go on. Like this consciousness, this spirit, it has to go someplace else. And, you know, I look forward to living that. Did you always feel like this or was that experience you had with ayahuasca kind of what drove this sort of thinking? I don't know if it was the ayahuasca, but definitely in more recent times have I started to not be afraid of the death thing. Of course, I don't want to go anytime soon. I want to watch my kids grow up. I want my whole family to have to bury me. But yeah, I've definitely thought about it. Like I remember Ryan Holiday gave me this coin one time. This was years ago. Ryan Holiday flew to Ryan. He gave me this coin and it said, you're going to die one day. I'm like, why would you give me this? And he was just like, because it's a sobering reminder that you're going to die one day. But that puts things in perspective for you. It's like, he's right. So let's get to it. Let's live while we still got the opportunity to motherfucking live. Like, let's do this. Let's do this life thing the right way while we still have the opportunity to do this thing, this life thing the right way. And I think that, you know, you carry that coin with you and you look at it every now and then just to know, all right, you ain't got no time, bro. You don't have the time that you think you have. And even if you are going to live to 101 like me, that shit can come tomorrow. I'll be 48 in a couple of weeks, bro. That's funny. That's wild to me. 48 years. 48 years old. Like, I still feel eight. Like, I can still remember all of that shit like it was yesterday. All of that shit flew by. Like, and it did not wait. So, you know, like I tell my kids all the time, whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. Because everything you did in your life, everything you do in your life today directly impacts all your tomorrow. So I can sit back and watch so many people that I know and love who just never moved. Who just never really, you know, set out to do anything. Like, they just kind of just let life go by. - I'm going to share a quote with you guys that Bob Dylan just gave to us. - They kind of let life just kind of go by. And, you know, now they're sitting back my age saying to themselves, like, damn, why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that? Like, the time ain't going to wait. So you might as well fill it in doing something. - My outlook is like, all right, I think I'm going to make it till 80. So if I live like this, life that way. If anything I get after 80 is just just you know uh cherry on top wow but like i definitely am living my life to the fullest every day i can oh i gotta read this chris i gotta so this is this is an article what's this on trump's 80th birthday the new york times asked several celebrities artists to talk about being 80 and what they've learned i mean every everything he said was actually pretty amazing but the uh the last the last sentence really stuck with me the really worst part about being 80 is that you find at last you've got an understanding of something that might have altered everything in the past had it come at a time when something could still be altered when you're young you think that time moves forward at 80 you know that it doesn't it stands still we're the ones that don't move action no we're the ones that move oh we're the ones that move yes factual but but but are either or you can you can you can choose to move or you choose not to move time is time is just time what you what how you fill it in is what gets you to whatever level you're trying to be at now read what he said about the best thing about turning 80 because this is very good too the best thing about being 80 is that you outlive the clocks that have been chasing you it's freedom from that lie that anything was ever under control you don't chase the parade anymore you're an old king from some vanished country you're hard of the program you're not rushing to become anything and you're not haunted by things that you did you're haunted by how little of it really mattered in the way you thought it would that is where i'm that's that's where i'm at now at 47 straight up that's literally where i'm at at 47 so i can imagine what i'll feel like at 80 would that question dude asked me earlier about you know uh false narratives about you i that's exactly why i don't care you're not rushing to become anything and you're not haunted by things you did you're haunted by how little of it really mattered in the way you thought it would yes you're hard of the program because all of these motherfuckers are constantly trying to tell you who you are you can't tell me about me that's a good way to end 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 idiots who don't know shit you're right too it's the brilliant idiots podcast thank you for listening i'm not giving up i am selling the building the final season of fx is the bear the restaurant is flooded everything's either gonna be okay or not we are outgunned and we are outmanned but we have each other fx is the bear the final season all episodes now streaming on disney plus
