Weird Feeling About Cobra Kai00:08:47
Yo, Al, I'll be honest with you, bro.
I had a weird feeling, dog, and I need people to DM this guy right now that I'm about to talk about.
We need to have him on the podcast, have a conversation.
Arcasa already knows what I'm talking about.
I'm watching Cobra Kai and there's this fine-ass little boy in that fucking show, bro.
Wait, Son, son, son.
Keep talking.
Keep talking.
Nah, nah, nah.
Okay.
There is that.
You said little boy a yo.
That's crazy.
What is that?
You just said little boy.
I don't even know what the A. Yo is for that.
This baby a yo.
There is, there is in the fucking there is in the show.
No, no, no.
We're leaving this all in.
He nailed it.
That was so cheap.
Oh, his joke.
Don't cut that out.
Leave that shit in.
You need to feel that.
Feel that.
Let him feel it.
Okay?
Ready?
Should we rewind right now?
Put it back in the edit.
No, no.
Meaning, I'm saying in the edit, I want you to repeat the joke again for everybody.
Listen, that's messed up.
So, I'm watching Cobra Kai.
Okay.
We already talked about this.
Okay.
There's this actor.
Poison is on board.
Don't leave me now.
Don't leave me now.
I know why he's taking me in.
Don't leave me now.
Okay.
Yo, listen.
This blanker won right now.
Please look at how old this fine ass human being is.
Hey, hey, just go to the IMDB page and see if you could guess who we're talking about.
No, Look how old he is.
Not Miguel.
That little white boy.
How old that little white boy, Robbie?
How old is he?
Just make sure he's over 18.
Wait, his name's Robbie?
No, his character's name is Robbie in the show.
Cobra Kai is the name of the show.
Tanner Buchanan.
Look how old he is.
Okay?
I need to know this before I continue this.
How old?
21.
Knew that motherfucker was legal.
I knew he was legal.
Now come get this sexual harassment.
All right.
Let me tell you, this little Topanga looking motherfucker out here.
All right.
This dude made me feel weird, bro.
The first scene, he got this little bob haircut.
Yeah.
Okay.
Perfect, straight, thick, luscious hair.
Thick like that dude right there.
Mark, just set your ass up.
He just turned 18.
No.
No, he's 21.
Bro, I just, I looked this shit up right here.
Marcus, set you up.
It's motherfucking barely legal, son.
What is he?
How old is he?
It says 21 on Wikipedia.
21, Wikipedia.
That's what we're going with.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
Stop looking up barelylegal.com for fucking information, bro.
You just want that shit to be turning into.
You showed up this dude.
He said, yeah.
That's the character, motherfucker.
You fucking retard.
Hold on.
Yo, hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
This motherfucker is a little bit more.
He's the character in the show.
Yo, this guy just.
Yo, how old is Wolverine?
Yo, Wolverine's technically 233 because you age faster when you recover.
I'll take it.
Hey, I'm switching cameras out of my head.
I'm out of turning order and audio.
If I missed it.
Nobody asked you to ask.
If I missed this, that's all good.
I'm looking quick.
I'm Google it quick, guys.
This guy.
I got it.
Yo, it's hilarious.
It got his whole family in the bio.
Don't take it away.
It's got his whole family in his bio.
His teacher is Danny LaRusso.
You know, I'm not sure.
Come on, bro.
I don't know, man.
Love interest, Samantha LaRusso.
Anyway, back to what I'm saying, okay?
This kid shows up first scene.
Yeah.
Got this little bob haircut.
Mad feminine, mad Topanga.
Yeah, looking like a prettier Mark.
Looking like a pretty nah, you don't look like Mark, bro.
When you said that, that shit made me feel uncomfortable.
Come on.
That's what I'm saying.
Because I was bringing to the table how cute that motherfucker was.
So this is what happened.
The other day we're at the table just discussing the show.
Shit felt mad weird.
So we're at the table discussing the show, right?
I'm like, yo, I'm watching this Cobra Kai.
I was like, let me tell you, there's this one character on that show.
And then out of nowhere, Arkash goes, yeah, the cute one.
And I'm about to be like, yeah, that motherfucker.
And then Arcash goes, motherfucker look just like Mark.
And I was like, no fucking collarbones like that.
Look at that kid's collarbones, bro.
That's Mark.
Look at that kid.
That's a female, bro.
That's Mark.
That's me.
Son, where's JK Rowling?
We gotta crush our marks.
Where's JK Rowling, son?
Nah, you ain't got like that.
You ain't got like that.
First of all, Mark.
First of all, you know what, though?
Look at that brow.
Mark that brow.
He got a normal ass brow.
He's not normal.
He's trying to froze.
If that was Mark, there'd be a shadow on his shoulder blades right now.
You know, damn, bro, that's not fucking Mark, Alex.
Okay?
Look how he's looking up in the air.
Yeah, hey, Mark.
Look smoldering right now because this whole motherfucker be looking smoldering.
Don't look smoldering.
I'm not feeling comfortable with this, bro.
I'm not feeling comfortable.
Serve him.
Oh, that's Mark, son.
That's wild, right?
Cross your arms a little bit.
Hold on now.
Maybe it is.
Cross your arms a little bit.
Oh, shit, bro.
Oh, shit.
What's your little cute ass?
What y'all doing all these late nights?
Mark, bro.
You just got to raise pants.
Wait, is that harassment?
Anyway, point is, this motherfucker right here looks feminine.
Does he not?
Look at the haircut.
He's 21.
Look at the haircut.
I think you just want to fuck him, so you try to make him look feminine.
All I know is the first scene that I saw, this is what happens.
I watch him with my girl, and we're watching the show, and he pops up, and I literally go like this.
I go, I go, son.
Hold on.
I'm worried about where this is going to be.
The first time he pops up on the screen, right?
He's all like a little confused, like, little deer in the headlights, little look.
And I just go, I just go, man, come on, y'all.
Hey, yo.
My body didn't know what to do.
My body didn't know what to do.
Because I was like, I couldn't explain it, bro.
I felt like J.K. Rowland.
That's why she's writing all those books.
Wait, why?
Little training kid right here making you feel weird.
Jesus.
Not the Harry Potter book.
Why?
What?
What?
Venus cadaver, bro.
Get the fuck out of here.
I had enough of this kid.
Oh, my God.
You can't deny he's objectively cute for a boy.
He is trying to get you in that.
Dang-a-lang is what she's trying to be cute.
Like, she's just like, she's like, give me that dang-a-lang.
I support y'all's relationship, man.
What do y'all call it?
Roti or something?
What do y'all call it?
Give me that paneer, yo.
That paneer?
Yeah, no.
No, for real.
What does she say when she wants some of that dick?
She's trying to be cute with it.
Why are you trying to be cute with it?
Yeah, I don't think she tries to be cute with it.
When she's trying to be sexy, whatever.
What y'all want?
In the black community, we say dick.
So you say, yo, give me that dick.
That's right.
Yo, yeah, that's very set the mood.
You know what I mean?
Dang-a-lang ain't setting the mood.
No.
Daniel Lang ain't toys.
Nobody on.
Yo, here's what they call it.
Cute little dang-a-lang.
That's low-key disrespectful.
Dang-a-lay's dangling, bro.
Dang-a-lang.
No, ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling is little.
That'd be a little ding-a-lang.
It's not that different.
That's what they call Asians.
That's actually the song.
Ding-a-ling, ding, ding, ding, ding-ding.
Just two Asian twins ding a language.
Wait a minute.
Hold on.
But dang-a-lang, that fucking dang-a-lang.
That's dangle.
Huh?
So, is she saying that while y'all are in it, too?
Like, oh, yeah, that dangling.
Mark that fucking time right there.
Hold on.
Hold on.
That's how we started the podcast.
Mark that.
That's fire.
All right.
Oh, my God.
That's right.
Y'all going to figure out what part of the podcast that's at.
Anyway, no, she doesn't say it while it's in.
While it's in, while it's in, she'd be, you know what I mean?
Dangling is so deep inside.
While it's in, she'd be looking at my face to see how far I think I'm in there and then reacting based on that.
You know what I mean?
Like if I'm like all the way, she's like, oh!
Ooch.
Oh, my goodness.
Nah, for real.
I don't know what she calls my dick when it's in there.
Nick?
Does she have to say it, though?
Algorithm Expectations Problem00:10:14
I don't know.
Maybe she doesn't.
I'm talking dirty a little bit, though.
I'm not going to lie.
I'll dirty talk, bro.
I'll dirty talk.
I'll fucking dirty talk, bro.
I'm filthy.
I can't even imagine.
I'm filthy, Taylor.
I can't imagine.
What do you think?
If you like her saying dangling, I can only imagine what you're saying about like, oh, give me that teacup.
I don't know how you're going to be talking about it.
Nah.
Nah, I'd be like, give me that kookly looly.
My dangling in your toy toy.
Yo, real talk?
Now that we have dogs, bro, I think my sex talk has been like switched up a little bit.
I think I'll go into more doggy.
Have you been a good girl?
Cookie, come.
Come.
Come, come.
Good girl.
Stay.
Don't move.
It's your fault.
All right.
This weekend I watched The Social Dilemma.
Okay.
Akash, you did not watch The Social Dilemma.
Alex, you saw it?
Yeah.
Mark, you see it?
Yep.
Taylor, have you seen The Social Dilemma?
You should watch it.
Everybody at home is on Netflix.
Very interesting.
Fatalist look at social media, social media platforms, and their manipulation of the human psyche to force you into, you know, spending hours and hours of your time watching social media and the role they play in the divisiveness in our country right now and fake news, et cetera.
And it's got this like horrible approach to social media.
And I cannot sit here and hate on this documentary, Alex.
Because that same algorithm that they're trashing is the reason why I have a career.
It's the reason why we have this studio.
It's the reason why people are watching this right now.
So the algorithm, they're looking at this algorithm like all it does is feed you this horrible shit and like what your worst possible nightwear and feed into your fears and there's nothing fact checked.
And yes, of course, it's all right.
But at the same time, like, and they're making all these points about like, all you're doing is spending hours upon hours on the internet, right?
All day.
You're wasting your time.
It's like, yeah, we can do that because the internet has made our lives so easy.
That's a good point.
Do you know what I'm saying?
We can look at our phone for four hours because I don't have to go to the store to pick up groceries.
I just type it in my phone and then they bring it to me.
Right?
I don't have to wait online in a movie theater.
I just watch it on home on Netflix.
I don't have to do anything.
I don't even have to, for places like reservations and all this kind of stuff.
I guess you can call up and make reservations back in the day, but it's just so simple to do absolutely everything.
We have tons of extra time.
Just stare at a phone.
Now, I'm not saying we should, okay?
But the last thing you're going to see is me come out, a content creator and podcaster, and tell people not to look at their phones.
Can I say this?
The one thing I did see, the guy's name.
Stop talking.
Watch the fucking documentary.
Stop your fucking talking.
What do you mean?
No facts.
Fucking.
The guy's name, Tristan.
When he corrects the bitch who says Tristan, he's like, Tristan.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I was getting that.
Fuck that guy.
Fuck that guy through and through.
Nothing you say is valid.
And also, it kind of feels like a bunch of people got fired from these social media platforms.
They're now like, social media is bad.
Like, it's literally all the guys that made social media so bad now going, oh, by the way, it's bad.
By the way, I'm not making any money off of it anymore.
So I just want to let you know it's bad.
From their mansion?
From their fucking mansion.
So let me find a way to make money off of how it's bad.
Dude, it's the confessions and economic hitman.
Yeah, exactly.
Right?
They're the guy who literally worked for America, destabilizing third world countries so we could take advantage of them, stopped doing it, and then wrote a book about how fucked up it was.
The guy wrote the book, The Game.
Remember that guy?
His name is Neil Strauss?
The nerd that learned how to get pussy?
He wrote a book about it.
Great read.
Okay.
You know what he did?
He got a girl and he wrote another book about how important it is not to just fuck random bitches and get a girlfriend.
These motherfuckers are literally giving you AIDS and then giving you the cure.
No cure for AIDS.
Say again?
No cure for AIDS, but you know what I mean?
Like, it's like, don't be a part of the problem and then act like you're part of the solution and want some pats on the fucking back.
But now what do you do though?
So if you are part of the problem, what's the solution?
If you are part of the problem and you don't stop yourself, like you get stopped, the company's like, yo, you're not really good at this shit no more.
Peace.
Then you're bitching about it.
Get out of here.
But if you realize what you're creating and then you go, I don't feel like I want to be part of this.
And then you take every action you possibly can to fix it within the company and then they fire you, then come back.
Well, one of the dudes was about that.
Which one?
Like the one that he's like actually holding conferences.
That's that Tristan.
That's that Tristan.
And he sent that memo out while he was still working at the company.
Like, yo, this is becoming a problem.
That's the thing.
It is a problem.
But here's the thing.
It is a problem, but it's also, we have to understand we are the problem.
Like, I hate this zero accountability on like humans part, right?
It's like you choose to watch the video.
Yeah.
Like you have to be able to discern between content.
And that's something that like older generations don't know how to do as well as younger generations.
Like, I was asking Mark, right?
I'm like, yo, when you see a video randomly, like, what's going on?
You see a picture, you see anything like that.
Do you have some healthy skepticism about it?
And he goes, oh, yeah, of course.
Like, because I know how much fake shit exists there.
Like, my whole life, I grew up with people who had like filters and all this other stuff.
If I show my girlfriend or you show your girlfriend a picture of a beautiful woman, what's the first thing she does?
Trash them.
And start to tell you what's fake.
Yeah.
So the younger generation is observing content through the lens of, man, this is fucked up.
This ain't real.
This is a conspiracy.
This bullshit.
The older generation, the boomers, are consuming content on Facebook.
All of our parents are on Facebook consuming content.
Like, oh my God, the world's on fire.
Everything's going wrong.
This is horrible.
Because they grew up trusting everything they saw.
So I don't know if this is that much of a problem for kids.
I know they're like, suicides are up and this, that, the other.
And it's just like, I don't know, maybe people weren't suiciding that much back in the day.
Like, I don't know what to tell you.
Suicides are up by how much?
It was quite a bit.
100% stats that they put in that shit.
It was up quite a bit.
But there's nothing else that that's due to?
I mean, it was only since like 2010 when like social media really blew up.
Oh, you know what's probably due to the fact that there's way more ways to commit suicide.
You can't commit no suicide back in the day.
What do you mean?
What do you, when do you think pills and shit?
When you were invented?
When do you think pills were invented?
Pills came out in like 93.
I remember they came out with the Flintstone gummies and then it was Flintstone gummies.
They had the fire Air Maxes.
And then they came out with the pills and then you get OD on the pills.
Right about the Jordan 9s.
Yeah, when the Jordan 9s came out, they came out with the pills.
So, no, in all seriousness, obviously there's negative side.
I'm not acting like there's no side effects.
The same thing with like environmentalism.
You know what I'm saying?
Where it's like, yes, of course we should care about the environment, but the fatalist attitude towards the environment, like, oh my God, we have 10 more years left.
The planet's going on fire.
We're all fucking done is bullshit.
Yeah.
And the person, the lack of personal accountability when it comes to the internet, you should be able to not watch shit.
Yeah.
Like, don't watch it.
If it's bad, you don't like your feed.
That's your fault.
Yep.
Like, real talk.
I have no problem with the algorithm.
I think it makes our life enjoyable whenever we pick up our phone.
Because it's like, it's showing me shit that I already like.
I don't have to go searching for it anymore.
And now it's on you.
You have your own accountability to put your phone down.
Exactly.
So it's like, if it's a kid, if it's happening to a kid, it's the parents.
Hey, you have to control their phone time and get them to build that muscle of being able to control it themselves.
And as an adult, you have no fucking excuse.
And also say, sorry, go.
It's different though.
Young kids are like, that's all that quiets them down.
Yeah.
Laptop and the internet.
Nah.
That's it.
I'm not hearing that excuse.
I know it's tough for you to imagine a life with kids.
But I see young kids.
I see parents that raise their children with no screen time and they find things to do.
Like I was, these little ass kids are like fucking playing soccer and they look like five.
So it's like you can do other things.
Go the fuck outside and do other stuff.
You don't need to just sit them in front of a screen.
It doesn't have to be two extremes.
You can like let them use the screen, just let them use the iPad and then also take it away.
It's like we do that with every single thing.
Well, I know we had to have that done to us.
With video games.
Video games, TV, all that shit was gamified to try to keep you tuned in as much as possible.
They've just kind of perfected the system and that's a little scary to us, which I get.
But it's been happening since, you know, the minute.
But there is something really important that I hope people start to understand.
It's like teaching kids to have a certain expectation and not even kids, fucking adults, to have a certain expectation about the information that they digest.
You know what I mean?
Like when we were young, we would go to the newspaper stand with our pops or our moms, right?
You go to newspaper stand, there'd be a New York Times, there'd be a Washington Post, there'd be a daily news, and there'd be a National Enquirer, right?
And you look at the National Enquirer, you start reading it, and then your dad would be like, oh, that's all bullshit.
That's fake.
Don't trust anything.
So now in the future, when I see a headline from the National Enquirer, I'm going, oh, that's bullshit.
I'm not going to trust that.
Right?
Now, I'm not saying it can't be right.
But my pop set an expectation for what is right or wrong.
And if you're on the internet, you got to tell your kids the same shit and tell our fucking old ass parents the same thing.
Just because you see a video with a ticker at the bottom, don't mean it's a legit news source.
You know what I mean?
My mom out here sending me 5G conspiracies and I got to explain what the fuck 5G.
You on 3G.
You got the old iPhone.
You got two more Gs.
You don't got to worry about.
So now the only scary part is like the generation that falls right under that.
So the ones that are old enough that they get tricked by this shit.
And then they have little kids who are impressionable by the parents who are raising them.
Yes, because now there's no filter.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Now the kids are consuming everything the parents are consuming.
They're believing it.
Now you got a dad who believes in National Enquirer.
Yes.
100%.
Don't get me wrong.
There is a problem and we will find solutions for it.
But the idea that this documentary was pushing forward was essentially like, we got to stop the algorithm.
The algorithm has already gone too far.
This at the end.
It's like that same algorithm is teaching me everything I know about like the world.
I want to research philosophers.
I look it up on YouTube.
I check it out.
I want to learn about like boxers.
I want to learn about like fights.
Everything I'm getting.
You know what else is interesting?
Who released this documentary?
Netflix.
What does Netflix use constantly to get you to watch?
Algorithm.

We'll see you guys there.
Now let's get back to the show.
What up, people?
Look, I'm recording this after the podcast because I forgot to introduce our illustrious guest, Amin Elhassen.
He is with us once again.
We love him.
Great guy.
Now, here's the deal.
We just got into the combo, so I want to give you all some context.
Here's the context.
I'm explaining to Amin why Bill Gates will never be remembered.
Now you know.
Take it away, Alex.
Have you heard of Microsoft?
Yeah, we've heard of it, but this is the point that I've always made.
Like, no one will ever remember anything that Bill Gates did.
Windows?
Nobody used Windows.
Windows, you look out of.
Windows is nothing you do on the internet.
Nothing you do on your computer.
Windows?
Xbox?
Xbox, they'll remember him maybe 12.
Honestly, I forgot that shit was part of Microsoft.
Zoom ain't him.
Zoom is some Chinese dude in San Jose.
Zune with an N. What's that?
You don't remember Zune?
Yeah, I had a Zoom.
It's a not iPod.
What?
It's a not iPod.
It was Microsoft's iPod.
See, trash.
Motherfucker sucks, man.
That shit had a radio on it, too.
Remember that shit?
I had an FM radio on it.
I love my Zoom.
Nobody's remembering Gates, bro.
That's why he's trying to fix the world.
He's like, I need to do something so people remember me.
You wilding, man.
Same one thing you're going to remember, Gates is a bad boy.
You're going to tell your kids about Gates.
Xbox.
It's Xbox.
Not Microsoft.
Xbox is Xbox.
It's just Xbox.
It's not Microsoft Xbox.
It's just Xbox.
Apple is Apple, bro.
We're going to remember that turtleneck fuck for a long goddamn time, bro.
We're going to remember every single thing he did.
Your iPhone, I in the front of it.
Xbox.
That's not Microsoft.
And that's not Bill Gates, dog.
Bill Gates probably left the company by then.
Did Bill Gates leave the company about time?
He did.
He was dying.
No, he didn't.
He did.
He's probably trying to shoot up fucking Indian kids full of vaccines.
That's what he was big.
Hey, you know what?
We appreciate it.
Do y'all?
You can use some vaccines.
I got to take malaria pills still when I go out there.
Do you really?
Yeah.
But that's not because of Indians.
That's because of mosquitoes out there.
Where do you think mosquitoes are from?
Africa.
Oh.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, y'all would do some shit like that, though.
I was trying to.
Where are they from?
India.
Wait, are they from India?
I don't know, man.
All I know is once they get over here, they just chilling, bro.
It's crazy, though, man.
Because I caught malaria when I was in Sudan.
Like, remember, I was texting with you.
And you went back.
You're in the whole chloroquinine, like, chloroquine, yeah.
Or whatever.
Yeah, chloroquine, yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I've taken those pills.
I've taken those pills.
Did it work for you?
Yeah.
I mean, it fucking sucks.
Like, you hallucinating shit like that, but like, it worked.
That sounds kind of lit, actually.
Hallucinating and not getting malaria.
So you got malaria?
That's the most third world shit.
I thought, you know, no, the most third world shit is I didn't know.
The most third world shit is your haircut during COVID.
That's the most third world shit.
This is way too first world, dude.
This you look pretty, bro.
It's a very developed haircut.
Very developed.
This is first world hair.
I sold out, I mean, you really did.
Sold out.
Because I got a haircut?
Yeah.
And that old struggle cut that you were working at.
Sudanese.
Hell yeah.
You don't even need a passport.
You're a Sudanese.
The people who criticize me the most were Sudanese people.
What'd they say?
I would get random Sudanese looking.
You're too authentic.
No, they would say like, this is a better representation of who we are.
I'm like, what are you talking about, man?
I act like I was wearing a flag.
I'm making these videos.
I know what the flag looks like because of your thing.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Not because of you, but you had a horrible thing happen and people fronted like they cared with your flag on their Instagram.
Did people care?
No, but they put their little turquoise flag on.
Oh, that's yeah, that's the okay.
Turboise.
Something like that.
The color, the color blue, yeah.
What is it?
What color blue?
It's like it's like blue 17.
Like they have an actual technical name for it.
I don't know.
Look it up.
Oh, my God, man.
We got to teach motherfuckers how to make flags, bro.
Oh, no.
I mean, like, the flag is cool.
It's lit.
Yeah.
I like our flag.
Our flag is built.
Our old flag.
That's what that blue is based off, the blue, yellow, green.
That was old Sudanese flag.
And then they switched to this generic bullshit like...
You don't fuck with.
Yeah, I'm just like, it makes us look like every other North African country.
They all have the same fucking thing.
I got a feeling you're going back one day, bro.
I think you're going to be in politics in Sudan, bro.
No, I got a feeling.
I can't do it.
I have this conversation all the time with Sudanese people.
I'm like, I can't go.
I can't.
I don't have the patience because everything in Sudan is according to a certain mentality.
Like things like...
What type of mentality is that?
A Sudanese mentality.
Gotcha.
We're like, they're always late.
But beyond always late.
You're going to have malaria or?
Yeah, it's like a pre-rec.
Yeah.
No, it's just things like things like, for instance, if we go out, we all get dinner, right?
Right, right, right.
And the bill comes and I'm broke.
Yeah.
And everybody knows I'm broke.
I'm still expected to do this big.
No, no, I swear.
No, I got it.
No, I'm, and like, we'll do this whole fight.
That's why you can't go back?
No.
People are polite.
This is, this is, this is very, listen, this is actually good.
This is actually refreshing.
So what you're doing is you're going to a third world country and you're recognizing the problems with it after being from a first world country and you're going, I need to switch it to be more first world.
And this is what white people did around the world.
So you have to understand, you have to understand where we were coming from.
You know what I mean?
We just went to these different countries.
We had a dinner and they're like, what's all this fighting about who's going to pay for it?
You don't even have shoes on.
God, we ain't got the country now, right?
That's how it works.
This is colonization.
It comes from a good place.
It comes from a good place.
It's fucked up on the way there, but you have to admit it comes from a good place.
Yeah, and then on the way back, they're like, hey, you want to ride back?
I'm going to go.
I'm going.
It's just good.
Do me a favor.
Put these on.
It's like a seatbelt.
Just put it on your seatbelt.
Listen, you're already going to pick shit up here.
Like, what are you going to do?
No, you're going to pick shit up over there.
Right?
You think that was the, you know, the pitch?
Yo, someone told me.
They didn't take anyone from Sudan.
It was always West Africa.
West Africa.
Yeah, no.
Sudan was different.
Now they're doing it in Sudan.
Now there's a slave trade.
I don't think the slave street ever stopped.
So there was a slave trade for a minute, the Arabs.
Yeah.
So like there's, this is the part where Sudanese people get really defensive.
Yeah.
And they say, well, it wasn't slavery like it was here.
It's a different kind of slave.
I love injured servitude.
Yes.
It's like, oh, it's so funny when people like divide up different types of intersectionality of slavery.
It was kind of, it was more polite.
It was like, hey, how you doing?
Right.
Do me a favor.
Could you clean up the art?
I'm just going to say that.
And if you said no?
Did they get their farms or whatever afterward, though?
Because that's different if you get your 40 acres.
Oh, yeah.
Did they promise them 40 acres and a mule or anything?
No, no.
No.
What did they promise?
Just say, hey, man, I'll take care of you.
It's slavery.
No, I'm behind.
I know indistinguishable.
People get real defensive about it.
I'm like, no, that shit ain't different.
Like, it's the same thing.
Is it like whips and chains and like the sort of brutality that was happening in this country?
No.
But it's still like someone not having the freedom to just, hey, I'm out of here.
Peace out.
Or, you know, we want to pay me for this or whatever.
So it's weird, man.
But to answer the question why I don't think I'm going to go back to be a politician is because there's just certain.
There's certain things you got to be.
You could change that as a politician.
You can be like, guys, if you're broke, don't pretend you're going to pay.
That's a law.
They don't want to change.
You're going to go back, dog.
You've experienced it, man.
You've lived enough.
Why are you trying to kick me out of the country?
He's on to us, guys.
We saw your old hair.
We got a little suspicion.
You got radicalized for real.
Wait, but you're allowed to fly there now because you guys were on the no-fly for a minute.
You trust that motherfucker?
You think, like, he said, like, yo, I mean, you're cool.
I'll fly out.
I can come back in.
I bet if you were leaving, he wouldn't mind.
That's what I'm saying.
You could get on.
You think that you won't be able to get back?
No.
You haven't gotten your citizenship yet?
Nope.
Really?
No.
What is that about?
U.S. citizenship, yeah.
Why the fuck not?
Why not just get it?
Oh, yeah, shit.
Let me just go down to CVS and get a U.S. citizenship.
I mean, you got a job at ESPN.
How hard can it be to be a citizen?
It's harder than that.
No, it's not.
It's harder.
There's way more U.S. citizens that weren't born here than there are ESPN anchors.
That's a good point.
You're the first African ESPN anchor.
No.
Who?
I don't know.
You are the first.
I don't know.
I know I'm the first Sudanese person who ever worked for an NBA team.
That's what I know that for a fact.
You see that flex?
That's one thing that I want to talk to you about because I know we get to look back and we can look back at these countries in the third world and we could judge them because they're not up to our standards, but they actually end up doing a lot of great shit that we don't commend them for enough.
Did you know that?
Okay.
Okay.
He immediately got uncomfortable.
Okay, so here we go.
In Nigeria, right?
Shouts to my Nigerians, Naja.
You know, I'm just putting the black fist up, but I'm sure you guys probably do something cool.
What do Nigerians do?
Does anybody know?
What's the Nigerian thing?
Taylor falling asleep.
Niger.
I've never seen Taylor look so sleepy in my fucking life.
Get TJ from Twitter on the line.
Okay, we'll talk to TJ.
Alex just did a Wakanda Forever salute.
So that gives you how cultured he is when it comes to his African quote-unquote brothers.
Closer than you?
Say what?
That says closer than you?
No, I was pretty close.
Blackfist.
Black Fist?
I got some Black Fists out there.
That's probably...
Roloff Rice is basically the closest thing.
Oh, yeah, we fucked that job.
Anyway, point is, they're surgically castrating rapists out there.
Yeah.
I saw that.
Kind of lit.
That's dope.
And then for child rapists, murder.
I like that.
It's not murder.
It's the death penalty.
Yes.
Murder is a crime.
That's a good point.
Okay.
That's a good point.
You're right.
You're right about that one.
Do I get to stay now?
You get to stay now.
Okay.
I think the argument you just made is one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.
And I'm not going to go into why you made that type of argument, but still, we will accept it.
Point is, I'm looking at this law and I'm like, I love it.
You castrate these rapists, you murder, you just kill, sorry, you kill the child rapist, everything's good.
Then I start thinking, fuck, that puts a lot of power in the hands of the ladies.
I thought you were going a different way with that.
No, what if a girl says the girl that you break up with, you cheat on your wife, or you break up with this girl, she don't want you to go out there and fuck other girls.
She's like, oh, he raped me.
Then they cut your fucking balls off, man.
Yeah.
No, like the whole thing is you're.
You see what's happened with Dr. Dre's wife?
That shit is.
By the way, have you ever seen the letter he wrote her in 1995 to get her in the first place?
What's he say?
Pull that shit up because she was dating this NBA player named Sadel Three at the time.
And he wrote a dirty Mac of all-time letter saying, hey, I'm filming this music video out here in the desert.
It's called California Love.
I think it's going to be pretty dope.
By the way, why are you still dating that sucker-ass nigga?
Like, and that's the best.
And then come here, let the doctor take care of you.
It is the wildest.
Like, they have the actual letter, not like typed up.
There it is.
There it is right there.
A handwritten letter?
A handwritten letter.
Honestly, if you write my girl a letter so you can have her?
Not my wife, but if we just dating.
So it's like the first paragraph.
I'm a basketball player.
Come on.
Hand on a letter.
You know, basketball players can't write neither.
Goofy ass handwriting fingers all big.
They can't hold the pen.
Writing like this.
Yo, look at his penmanship.
That shit is trash.
I can't read it.
It's too far from me, man.
Hopefully, you doing well and you realize you need to quit fucking with Sidel and come home to your doctor.
I will take care of you, baby girl.
I'm in Nevada with hype looking at spots for this new video we're shooting.
Can I tell you something very interesting?
This is allegedly where Dr. Dre found Burning Man.
Keep reading.
Keep reading the letter.
Really?
Keep reading the letter.
Wow, Andrew.
So, okay, this new video we were shooting for the single I told you Pac is going to be on the uh is going to be on once he is out.
How do you read it?
I can't see.
You can see that, man.
Yes.
I can't see it.
You might need to see a doctor.
Yo, make it bigger.
Go back to it.
Go back to it.
Make it bigger so Andrew can read better.
I really can't read.
Okay, here's a little bit better.
Now the pressure's on.
All right.
Ready?
Where we got?
Okay, okay.
What's that called?
California Love.
Okay, we met a bunch of crazy naked motherfuckers in the desert today.
They were putting up some type of giant wooden man.
That's what the fuck I'm talking about.
So I guess they have a big party here for a bunch of days.
I asked him how much they pay.
They said nothing.
I was like, no money?
Someone should get behind this shit and make some loot off these fools because they said there'll be at least 5,000 people.
I think I'll have an office look into it just to see if there's easy money to be had here.
Was that bout?
I'm about to pass out.
I'm about to pass out, girl.
Wish I was up in that ass.
See you back in LA.
Oh, that's it.
That's his history.
So, okay, a couple things are really interesting here.
I guess this is the rumor on how Burning Man Dr. Dre got involved in Burning Man because the rumor was always he was like the silent investor in Burning Man.
And I didn't understand how there was any kind of like validity to the rumor.
Right.
But this is it.
This is probably where it got started.
And wow, that's Burning Man at its influence.
I would say Burning Man was already happening.
It was already happening.
But he found a way to monetize it.
Exactly.
Explored a way to monetize it.
And it was always some tech dudes.
Yeah.
I think it was like all these like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tech dudes run Burning Man.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
So I think this was their way to like decompress.
That's my understanding.
I literally thought it was just like somebody else.
When this was going on in 95, I guess the tech bubble was going on back.
I think so, right?
Maybe that was the start of it.
Maybe.
I mean, it was starting like by 98, 99, the dot-com thing was going on.
So that was Windows 95.
Now it's run by some like tech people.
But again, no profitability, but very cool.
Okay.
And then I said, I wish I was up in that ass.
Yeah.
That's kind of fire.
See you back in LA.
And then she comes out.
No, the best part is scroll back up to the top.
You still with that bum ass, this is the smoking gun.
Burning Man Monetization00:04:03
Come home to your doctor.
I will take care of you, baby girl.
Okay.
That's why his ass right now is man.
Like, you did it.
You said it.
You did take care of her.
What do you mean?
I know.
Yeah, what does it say?
Shit a great life.
Exactly.
Does this prove that he was abusive?
No.
We know he was abusive.
He owes her.
Why does he over?
Because he said that in a letter?
Yeah, man.
If we had to live up to half the shit we were saying to our girls in the beginning of dating when we were trying to date him.
Did you put it in print?
Say what?
Did you put it in writing?
In text message?
Yo, hold on.
How did he not take care of her?
No, I'm saying this is it right now.
So this letter means I was using this $2 million a month in a moment.
We were using this shit, dumbass.
I'm just saying, like, this is a terrible argument.
Don't be angry at me because your argument's sucking.
Don't take that out of me.
That's not my fault.
Yes, Taylor.
Can you please save this man?
Okay.
Well, no, I can't.
I just have an issue.
Okay, go.
Why was he writing her a letter?
This is back in the day.
No, you couldn't text.
That's your question.
That's my question.
Like, I don't understand why he's writing it like it's a text message.
I'm mad confused.
No, he kind of had phone out in the desert, though.
Can I ask Taylor a question?
Taylor, do you know why people say hang up when they're talking about ending a phone call?
I never had someone say hang up.
You never said he hung up the phone on me.
Oh, okay.
Okay, like that.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Oh, do you know why?
Why?
Because we used to physically have to hang the smell.
How racist is that?
How racist is that?
But that's like, it's crazy.
That's why black people got cell phones so fast.
That's exactly that.
I'm tired of this hanging shit.
You can hang shit on a cord.
Fuck that, y'all.
No, bro.
It's not happening.
Cordless for me.
Exactly.
And what did the core used to look like?
Mad, curly, right?
I can't say racism, bro.
It's racism out there, dog.
Ain't there racism out there?
You out here defending Steve Nash, sell out ass.
The cord from the wall.
You know what I mean?
Where the black?
The cord from the wall to the phone, though.
How did that one look?
Well, how did it look?
It was straight.
It was straight.
Because that's the plug right there.
Because that's the plug.
We need some cords.
Is that what you said?
Yo, come on, bro.
We don't believe in that.
What are you doing?
Come on, bring us back to Sudan, bro.
You over here at dinner, like, we need to accept the whole lifestyles and like, just pay for this shit, you pussy.
That's the richest shit he's ever said.
I'm tired of these broke motherfuckers pretending they want to pay for the meal I'm paying for.
That's what that's all about.
Let me pay for it.
Exactly.
Don't worry.
We're going to bleep that.
You won't get in trouble.
But they know what we said.
They know what we said.
That's what Army always knows.
You know what I mean?
We got to bleep it out for the haters out there.
They're castrating people in Nigeria.
So, castrating people in Nigeria.
How do we feel about it?
If there was a way to know for certain that you were out there raping.
Yeah, that's what I think.
Like, if you're putting a lot of trust in the justice system, you get it right.
Like, I don't trust the justice system for shit.
Shocking.
Why would you not?
I can't fathom a single reason why a black man that's also Muslim in America would not have faith in the justice system.
So that shit right there.
Who's not a citizen?
Oh my God, dude.
You're really rolling the dice, man.
You become a citizen.
Can I sponsor you something?
How does it work?
Let's do it.
What do I have to do?
I don't know.
Down on it, I would have one, right?
That's bullshit.
No, absolutely.
I mean, that is absolute bullshit.
You have it.
Somebody Google, how do you become American citizens?
You guys have a very diverse audience.
If you're an immigration lawyer and you're listening to this right now, come holla at me.
Hold on.
You have kids that are nationalized here.
They were born in the US.
They're citizens.
Okay.
You see, anchored up.
You can't leave.
They can't kick you out now.
Yes, they can.
Yeah, they can.
You heard this thing called ICE?
What you mean?
Yes.
They're tearing up families and said that.
That's like what they do.
That's what it is short for isolating from your family.
That's ICE.
Is that what ICE is short for?
For real?
Yeah.
You're an idiot.
Nationalized Kids And ICE00:10:52
Damn, bro.
Is that what they be doing?
We can sponsor this guy.
He works for Disney.
He can't get a citizenship.
You work for the mouse, bro.
You can't get a citizenship.
You work for the Muslim.
The anti-Jewish motherfuckers elect.
That's true.
That's why they love you.
What?
You're so confused?
So Amin was not born here.
Okay?
She's talking about the letter thing.
Oh.
Taylor, if you don't get close to the goddamn mic when you talk, please go.
How are you able to get a job if you don't have a citizenship?
Well, he's got a green card.
I don't have a green card.
If I have a green card, I'll have a citizen.
You got a work visa?
I got a work visa now.
He's a work visa.
And prior to that.
Visa, not the credit card, is something you use to work in this country from another country.
Why do somebody think to get in this country?
Because this shit is lit.
You've never been to a club?
The trash club lets anybody in.
Okay, the fire one got a fucking red velvet rope.
And that's what America is.
Velvet it up.
And I'm saying you on a list, bruh.
For once, on a good list.
Hey, Alex, knowing how hard it is for other people to get into this country, does it make you any more thankful?
Like, just a free, a little, a little bit more appreciative.
Okay, here's a real question.
Here's a real question.
When you okay, you've experienced.
You've experienced, obviously, there's like nothing is binary, if you will, right?
But, like, you've experienced, yeah, I know that sounds super gay, right?
Oh, Andrew Gillamass word.
How the fuck was I thinking just talking about that right now?
Buy in binary.
No, talk.
I did.
Put that little kid up again.
Have you seen Cobra Kai?
Uh, no, I haven't watched it.
Andrew want to fuck the little boy.
I don't want to fuck him.
But the motherfucker looked like a girl that's cute.
A little boy on there look hella like Mark and Andrew want to fuck up.
You don't look like Mark.
That's kind of weird, bro.
He actually kind of does look like that.
I'm seeing it, bro.
I'm seeing it.
Stop doing that karate, Mark.
Mark is trying to take kickboxing classes.
I cut that shit out real quick, bro.
I did.
I told your boy, what's his name?
The Spanish kid?
What?
Chang?
Chino, whatever.
What it's close, bro.
What the fuck do you want me to do?
That's Chino and Chang.
That's almost it.
You tell me that don't look like a girl, bro.
But yo, there's people, Al.
There's girls.
You don't have to fuck guys that look like girls.
Yeah, but the girls, bro, the girls are under.
Wait for it.
I've already thought it through.
I've already thought it through, Mark.
Okay.
The girls in that show are under 18.
Karee.
Hey, QNAN.
Look at this.
Hey, QNAN, Q, Sanans, do your research.
It's up to you.
Are they under 18?
They're under 18.
There's some young ass girls.
The mom in that show, fine as fucked up.
The mom gorgeous.
That white mom right there, bro.
Be honest.
She's gorgeous.
She's a piece.
My girl was getting jealous when I was talking about that mom.
I was like, how old do you think she is?
She was like, 40.
I was like, I was like, she got the meats.
You know what I'm saying?
Taylor?
She got the meats.
Them shit slapping together in them fucking dungarees she's wearing serious, pushing out that little fat ass kid in that show.
You know that little fat ass kid, that little fat ass kid didn't come out early.
You know that meats are slapping.
She out there with a cat's deli sandwich.
Okay, and i'm all for it.
Give me some rye bread and some mustard because your boy is hungry.
Okay, I had enough.
I had enough of all of you judging me and this fine ass little boy out here perking up his titties shirt off.
Yo, look at man smoldering.
Look at smoldering with the tapanga.
Tell me that's not tapanga, it looked like Mark, it really, bro.
You said, let's go.
Y'all really ruin it for me.
That dude was a cute ass girl until you said, look like Mark.
Now i'm repulsed to Pagnon.
Oh, that's good, all right.
Now for real.
Where were we?
Who's finer though?
The white mom or the Latina mom?
That ta mom?
Fine, as I think you.
I think the white mom's finer.
I'll be honest with you.
Who were you about to say I think yeah, I think, if I I usually I go with the Latina mom like okay, usually I would, but in this situation the white mom is finer, but you know who's dope, as that grandma, she could catch some piccolo, she could the grim listen.
Can I get some, some vision to this show for porn?
Like you, just like every character in the show, the men and the women?
Yo, I can't.
I can't be progressive bro, like I can't be out here appreciating you're progressing, like Jerry from cheer out this motherfucker.
Why don't you regress a little bit, my guy?
Yeah, I don't want to regress progressive, as too much progress has been made.
Yeah buddy okay, so you've been black in Africa.
Yeah interesting, you've been black in America.
Uh-huh, i've been black in Europe too.
Black in Europe, what's the easiest?
The easiest, I would say, black in Africa is the easiest, because most of the bad shit that happens to you isn't because you're black.
It's because it's something else.
Oh, again, I'm not just talking about racial issues.
I'm talking about issues in general.
Like if you had to choose a place to be black in the world, where would you choose?
Well, I live here, motherfucker.
Like, obviously, I've made that choice.
Keep talking to me like that.
It won't be that much longer.
We're about to make America a little greater if you keep talking.
The agents are going to be right outside.
As soon as we're done, you want some ice with that one.
Motherfucker, you're like, yes, he's here.
No, but an interesting experience.
I'm sure that there's a lot of people in America, right?
White, black, Indian, Asian, et cetera, that we're very critical of America, but we haven't lived anywhere else in the world.
So a lot of times we look at the rest of the world with these rose-colored glasses.
Like there's a lot of white Americans, right?
They look at Canada and Europe and we're like, you see how much more progressive they are over there, right?
Like look how much less racist they are there.
And then you go to one soccer game and they're chucking bananas at the black players and you're like, oh, people are racist in Europe.
Europe racist.
Canada might not be.
No, Canada's got its own shit.
I guess my point I'm trying to make is like we all, if you don't travel and experience the world, you look at these other places in the world and you think they're awesome.
And you have this really unique experience where you've been able to be black in all these places.
And I'm curious about your perspective on when you are trying to make America better.
Right.
Right.
As we all are.
We all want America to be better every single day.
Right.
But you also have this, I assume, and I ask, you also have this perspective where you're like, you're like, yo, this is really good too.
There are parts of this that are good.
Sure.
Does that make sense?
There are absolutely parts of this that are great.
I love something about America that most other countries, not all other countries, don't have is America is a country that was built on convenience.
A lot of shit we do, we do it the fastest, quickest way possible, right?
That's a great point.
And in Europe, like in France, to get a certain kind of like paperwork done, you've got to go through this weird ass bureaucratic bullshit.
And why is it that way?
Because that's the way we've done it since like Napoleon.
We tried to open a bank account for my mom's sister in India to send her money.
That shit took three days going back, back, back, just like the right person wasn't there.
Hey, nobody can open a bank account today.
Crazy.
There are places in Spain, restaurants in Spain, that will be closed at lunchtime because they're taking a lunch break.
Yeah, a nap, if you will.
A siesta.
It's like, but it's lunchtime.
Yeah.
La pauza.
Like the what?
Like, look, there's a lot of shit in our country that's not great, but like the one thing that usually triumphs over all that is like, are you trying to give me money?
Then I will make it as easy as possible for you to give me money.
Whereas other parts in the world, they make it difficult for me to give you my money.
Here, take my money.
I just want to be able to do this.
Do you ever feel conflicted where there's this part of you that's like where there's part of you?
It's like, I can't say that America's got some dope shit because that almost seems like I'm undermining the black struggle.
No, You understand the question I'm asking.
Yeah, I understand.
Articulate the question I'm trying to ask.
What you're asking me is, can I not, or do I feel like I can't gas up America?
Because if I do, it looks like you're not paying attention to the people.
I'm like, I'm selling out.
I'm like Herschel Walker or something like that.
Right.
When you have the experience to potentially gas up America because you've experienced.
Sure.
But I'm going to tell you like this.
I've had on brilliant idiots.
I remember I told you about like growing up in a country where the government could just come up and snatch you and take you away to ghost houses and they torture you.
You lived across the street from a ghost house.
That's so crazy.
So I hear the people screaming at night.
Torture.
And now we see people in Portland getting snatched up in unmarked vans and taken away.
And so there are things that I see, I'm like, oh, this shit ain't good because I've seen it before.
Interesting.
Let's see where it goes.
Same way that Cuban people who came to this country often are like, oh, this is how communism starts.
I have a lot of, oh, this is how totalitarianism starts.
And you can't question the government about anything.
Boom.
Anything they do, they're right.
It's the government.
That's interesting.
Yeah, because you see a lot of these Cubans and people assume because they're not white that they would be anti-Trump.
But a lot of Cubans are super MAGA.
But it's not that they're MAGA.
It's that they reject or that they're racist.
They just reject anything that is closest to communism because their experience within the world.
They're traumatized by government.
Exactly.
Just like you're traumatized by people getting snatched on Mark Bands because you're like, oh, shit, this is, I've seen the worst version of this.
Yes.
And okay, but do you think that there is an ignorance amongst Americans of all races about what the rest of the world looks like?
Absolutely.
And if we knew that, we would have a lot more appreciation of what we have.
No, I don't think so because I think if your premise is this is the best country in the world.
Not best, but that's a premise that I've been in.
I think it's the best by far on this class.
I think most Americans have that premise that this is the best country in the world, right?
It is.
That is the truth.
And the reason why you fight and you don't leave, like, if you don't like it, go to Canada.
The reason why you don't is because, no.
It's colder.
It is colder.
It is colder in Canada.
If Canada bought an island.
Shit.
Canada had a Florida.
If Canada bought Tobago, not even Trinidad, just Tobago, they would be a force to be reckoned with, bro.
No.
They would be a force to be reckoned with if they just bought Tobago.
Colder Than Canada00:13:43
A force.
You know what it is?
Major.
People from places with great weather.
Oh.
You're 100%.
You need awful weather to be like hardy, hungry, and motivated.
Of course.
Fucking LA.
Fuck L.A. Look at all of Europe.
The countries that are dragging down Europe are Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece.
The countries that are killing it in Europe are England, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark.
Horrible weather 10 months out of the year.
Might as well go to work.
Beautiful weather 10 months out of the year.
Might as well eat a mango.
Right?
A mango.
Isn't that what the guy, what was the picture for the Boston Red Sox, Pedro Martinez said?
He was getting booed at one of my favorite things that athlete has ever said.
He was getting booed at Yankee Stadium after giving up like a game-winning home run.
Yeah.
And they're like, how'd you feel after getting booed at Yankee Stadium by the entire stadium after giving up a game-winning home run?
He goes, oh, so you don't understand.
Like when I was a kid, I would just sit under a mango tree.
And now I'm getting booed at Yankee Street.
So he's like, it's blitz.
That's a great line.
That's a ball right there.
I guess that's the perspective I'm kind of talking about.
Like for me traveling Europe, there were so many amazing things in Europe, right?
Like even going to Africa, right?
There's these amazing things in Africa.
And there's things that were like, oh, shit, there's like a donkey in the lane where people are driving.
And that's why there's traffic, right?
So you look at things that are like awesome and you look at things that are annoying or bothersome.
And then you calculate them all.
And then you go to America and you look at things that are awesome.
And then you look at the things that are bothersome.
And you're like, you create, you get your like a creator player score, if you will.
You know, like in NBA 2K, LeBron might be a 99.
Gotcha.
You know what I'm saying?
You pronounce create a player in the world.
Creator player.
Yeah, you said it in a really weird way.
I thought you were, I accidentally legit.
I'm not bullshitting you.
I thought you were naming some weird psychological test to create a parallel or like, oh, yeah, yeah.
I thought about faking it.
I'm like, no, I don't know what that is.
I guess what I'm saying is like, I'm looking at America outside of my patriotism, right?
I'm trying to look at, if I'm looking at America objectively or Canada or any of these countries, objectively, right?
And I'm putting in all these different things.
Just like a basketball player on a video game, you'd have three-point shooting.
Done.
85.
Literally, etc.
And after traveling, I can objectively go like, oh, this is really cool.
And this is really fucked up.
And we need to improve race relations and we need to improve our rights.
But at the same time, like, there's crazy opportunity to get rich.
Like even if you're dumb, you can get rich.
Like you can start a business without a lot of red tape or you go to try to get your fucking license in England.
You got to spend $2,000 to take four.
In England, they have a TV tax.
You have to pay 200 pounds, I think, a year for every TV you have in your house.
And I'm just like, but why?
Yeah.
It's like, oh, because this goes to the BBC.
Like, well, if the BBC don't make fire shit, then let it like kick rocks.
Like, why are we, why am I forced to pay for this?
Or even better, there's like a portion of taxes that goes to the royal family.
I'm like, but why?
It's like, oh, because, you know, the tourism.
Like, because people come and see Buckingham Power.
All right.
So then, like, charge those people and give the royal family that money.
The idea that I'm a working stiff somewhere and I've got to pay to put these motherfuckers on welfare is just beyond me.
But that's, they're used to that shit.
No one complains about those taxations over there.
That's our life or whatever.
I think the main thing is you said it.
It's like you have a creative player and his rating is this at three-pointers, right?
That don't mean you stop working on a three-pointer, right?
You get in the thing and you do the objectives and you start getting that rating higher.
That's what people are trying to do here.
The danger is when people say America's great and fuck it, nothing needs to change.
If you don't like it.
I do think that's his point is this is a great country.
That doesn't mean it can't be greater.
And it's crazy to say, hey, if you don't like something, get the fuck out of the country.
Those people are crazy.
But also kind of equally crazy that people were like, America is a dictatorship.
And it's like, you know, if I talk to you for 30 seconds, I'd be like, oh, that's a dictatorship.
Democracy is over.
These fucking cornball pussies crying.
I'm going to say this.
I have friends of mine who have like literally DM me and say, this is the end of democracy.
This isn't the end, but this is how it starts.
Like, I think like, like, this is what I...
This is catastrophic thinking because you've experienced it.
Because I see it.
And I know how it starts.
It starts real kind of like innocent shit.
Like, hey, wouldn't it be nice if we had like more of this?
And then you look up and everything is crazy.
So you're right.
People overreact, but also sometimes you got to overreact to get people to take this shit seriously.
Yes.
Right?
That's the first time I've been concerned about America long term.
My only concern with America is it being like torn in half.
That's a big concern.
Yeah.
Like that's, I think that's like the biggest objection.
No, You're right.
You're right, Arkash.
You're right.
No, no, meaning like, and that is my biggest objection to Trump, right?
And I think that like anybody who listened to the podcast, like, I've been incredibly fair to fucking Trump, right?
Like, but I think that's so fair.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
But like, you know what I mean?
Like, so fair.
But it's like, there is something that you have to, you have to recognize that when you don't try at all to reach across the aisle, right?
Now, some people are like Super Bro Trump might go, but what about prison reform or something like that?
Okay, that's fair.
That is, that is, but I don't think that like prison reform is a strictly democratic position, right?
I think you could even argue that conservatives are like, yo, we don't want all these taxes going towards prisons.
Like, get that shit out of it.
Whatever.
It doesn't matter.
Point is, when you only try to satisfy your base and you're not reaching across the aisle at all, you create a, you create a line of division that is incredibly thick.
And by emboldening your base, you infuriate the opposition to the point where they hate each other.
And when you hate the other person, when they're literally evil to you, that is the end of democracy.
Because now we can't have the conversation.
If you think I'm evil, and I think you're evil, how are we supposed to meet in the middle about this abortion shit?
And to that point, I think a lot of Trump's appeal, at least early on to Republicans, is look how much liberals hate him.
Look how crazy he drives them.
I love how crazy he drives my enemies.
Enemy of my enemy, that's my friend.
Yes.
I'm not saying that's the only reason there's a whole fucking mergence of reasons he got elected.
That's one of them, I think.
And I think it just sucks that you have Biden, who's such a fucking stiff, right?
Who is the only other action?
Actual corpse.
Yeah, who's just a corpse?
And now you're in this really shitty situation, right?
Because you recognize the division, right?
Like, that's what I was really annoyed with AOC posted, right?
She's like, I don't care if you don't like what he has to say.
Vote for him anyway.
It's like, what?
Well, I think, I think, that's the end of democracy right there.
She's addressing people who clearly aren't going to vote for Trump, but then think that the answer is to just not vote.
Like, if your thing is that Trump is evil and Trump is bad and he's ruined the country and da-da-da.
And so what are you going to do about it?
I'm going to stay my ass home on election day.
It's like, buddy, that ain't going to solve the situation.
Right.
Now, she's doing exactly what you're talking about Trump did, which is I'm appealing to the base.
Exactly.
She's not reaching across for any like person who's like, I might be voting for Trump, but now she makes a great point.
I'll vote for Biden.
That's not who she's talking to.
She's talking to the people who are either going to vote for Biden or not vote at all.
And I think that that's what annoyed me about it because I hate that kind of tribalism.
Like what I want more than anything in America right now, like literally, if I could pick a candidate, it would be the candidate that doesn't tear this shit in fucking half.
And I don't know if Biden is capable to mend anything together.
Can't even put a fucking sentence together.
I don't know how he's going to put this country back together.
At the same time, I am concerned that like Trump, as we get close to the election, is going to lean further into the base because that is what he does.
He further works.
And it's brilliant what he did.
We can't act like his money.
It works because it works.
No, no, it works.
But my point is this is like once he, once you've introduced the game, this is a new game now.
The new game is I lean into my base.
Yep.
Then the aim of the game is to win.
You're not going to win the election.
Like, I know he's playing by these rules.
I'm going to play.
I'm playing ones and two or by ones only.
He's playing ones and twos.
See, this is where I disagree with you a little bit.
I think the Democrats underestimate what their base is.
And I think that Republicans underestimate what their base is as well.
So like Trump is leaning into the extremes.
Right.
Right.
And because of that, Democrats have leaned into their extremes.
Right.
And they've really created this polarization where there's this entire gap in the middle of the country, which most of us probably Finn, I can't speak for you, but I know most of us in this room right now are sitting here in the middle going, these people on the left are fucking ludicrous.
These people on the right are fucking ludicrous.
Can we just figure out how to just kind of respect each other?
I don't want you to get killed by the cops.
I don't want to pay a lot in taxes.
Let's figure, I don't want to go to war abroad for no fucking reason and also fuck China.
Like, I think we can all agree on all those things.
I think we can come together.
But because they're doing so much bickering and there's so much polarization, this gap is open in the middle and they're too much of a pussy.
Both sides are too pussy.
Just hop in the middle.
And Biden was supposed to be the one in the middle, but he can't put a fucking sentence together.
Here's the thing.
Remember how they said the Rockets and Lakers?
This is a series for the future of the NBA.
Yeah.
Because if the Rockets won, then everyone says, fuck centers.
We don't need it.
We don't need any of that shit.
It was important for some people that the Lakers win just so that we don't lose our fucking minds.
The Rockets are like Trump, except Trump won.
So what you're describing while, yes, I love centers and I love power forwards and I love the game being like some post-ups and some three-pointers and a mix of everything.
That's what you're describing.
But the motherfucker four years ago went shot only threes didn't have a center and won.
And that's why everyone's playing the game now.
No, no, I understand.
Because you got to win, Andrew.
And you're right.
Maybe there is something in the middle there that could appeal or whatever.
But the idea is that the team that won is the one that dictates how we're going to play the next rules.
This is my only pushback would be that I think you can apply those same rules to the middle, which is this massive base that is existing and thirsty and dying for someone to speak for them, but they're not playing it.
They're just not fucking playing it.
There's this literally 90% of the country is up for grabs and are being forced to make this decision that actually doesn't satisfy their palate because that's the only thing that's out there.
And I think it's a gross miscalculation by both sides.
You know what it's like?
To your point, you know, you get a video with a million views or whatever on YouTube.
And then you have 10,000 comments and everybody's arguing.
990,000 people didn't care enough to comment.
You see 10,000 people arguing though, and you're like, oh my God, look at the fucking everybody's so angry.
Most people don't give a fuck.
Now, what I was also thinking is one silver line that could come from this divide is two more parties coming to the middle, and now we have four parties.
Nothing would be better to me.
That would be four parties.
Extreme, extreme, middle, left, middle level.
That would be dope.
I'm all for more parties.
That's the one thing I would say about a lot of the European countries that they have better than us.
Not all of them, because some of them are just like us, or it's basically two parties.
But the idea of having like multiple parties, that shit is cool, man.
It's nice to have options.
It's always nice to have options.
Question.
So you said you hate the way AOC is leaning, that she's like just appeasing or trying to talk to her base.
Tribalism.
Tactic that Trump is doing.
Correct.
I'm critical of both of them for doing the same thing.
Yes.
But what's the lesser two evil?
Re-electing Trump, who's continuing to divide up the country, or electing Biden, who, yes, he has a little trouble putting sentences together, but he has people around him that can at least help him manage it.
And he's better at trying to keep the country through.
Let me just poke holes in that logic because I think that is solid logic.
And I think a lot of people take that, right?
And they go down that route.
They're like, well, at least with this guy, he's got good people around him, right?
Which is fair, but I don't know who's around him.
And me as a voter, and let's not talk about me, Andrew Schultz, like me, just John Doe, regular voter guy, who's like, yeah, okay, fine.
I know the guy's a corpse, but maybe he's got really smart people around him.
And I can vote for the smart people.
I don't know Kamala's practices.
I don't know Kamala's strategies.
I don't know what's going on.
I know that.
I hate you.
But you know what I'm saying?
Like, the average person doesn't know.
So you're not really giving me anything to latch on to.
And, you know, AOC is coming out here and she's like, this is a vote for marginalized people.
It's like, cut it out, dude.
Like, you have Kamala and Joe Biden who do not have the best records when it comes to marginalized people.
So cut out the bullshit.
You're basically just going, hey, don't vote for the other guy, which didn't work four years ago when they ran on Don't Work for the Other Guy.
It's like, how long do we have to prop up the Democrats until they actually take us seriously?
And the same goes for Republicans, until they take us seriously and give us someone that actually appeals to our base.
I'm what Al's saying, which is the idea is that if you vote for this guy, we're going to play dirty now.
But once he gets in there, you're going to start to fix this shit and make it look like a regular country again where you reach across the aisle and you do all that other shit and you know, and kind of try and lead from the middle.
But for now, yeah, everyone's going to have to get their guns out and get and get dirty with it.
I guarantee you, and I mean this a thousand percent.
If there was a centrist candidate, I mean it's a thousand percent who wasn't even attached to a party who literally ran as an independent, but was smart enough to make the logical arguments that the American people need to be made Cuban.
Mark fucking Cuban.
If Mark Cuban came out, if Mark Cuban came out, like literally, it would have to be someone smart enough and successful enough to fund their campaign.
But if they came out and just made these logical fucking arguments that Americans want to hear and they weren't worried about the pushback, he is pro-Black Lives Matter, anti-tech.
He's the guy.
Hey, listen, what's happening to Black people is terrible.
Also, I don't want to pay taxes.
Pretty simple.
Mark Cuban Campaign Ideas00:03:38
Sexually harasses women.
Both sides can support that.
So we three for three on the camera.
Three for three.
Do you know what I mean?
As organizations to do it.
Whatever happened with that.
What was that?
The Mavericks?
Yeah, they just was like, they hired a black woman to take care of everything.
They're good.
That's basically what they did.
They're like, hey, this bitch, Cynthia Marshall, is going to lead everything.
Why's she gonna be a bitch?
We're good!
Because she's a woman.
I don't discriminate who I call bitches.
Yo, Taylor's not a bitch, though.
No, no, no, not to your face.
Why?
What's up?
Yo, Taylor might be able to fuck you up too.
I'm not going to lie, bro.
There are women that could fuck you up.
I can run away from them little ass legs, no problem.
Yo, she will run your ass down.
That would be one hell of a bunch.
That would be one hell of a realization.
He's like, I'll run away from it.
She out there screaming.
I'm like, oh, that would be higher.
Oh, share.
That's so funny.
Beat the fucking daylight out of you.
That would be wild.
Okay.
Hey, girl, don't threaten me with a good time.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second to get your breakfast right.
I know your breakfasts are all fucked up having trash ass breakfasts.
Probably don't even know how to eat breakfast no more.
Okay?
People are lost when it comes to breakfast.
Truly.
Breakfast was a meal that had respect.
Breakfast was a meal that had dignity.
Breakfast was a meal that we all agreed on.
Now, people out here putting acai.
What the fuck is acai?
Peanut butter in breakfast?
All these other flax seeds.
Get the fuck out of here.
It's cereal.
That's what we eat for breakfast.
Okay.
It's cereal.
And if you're going to have cereal, you're not going to have that sugary nonsense that got all these kids going to shooting up schools.
What you're going to have is a good, healthy cereal that's called magic spoon.
Okay.
You can't pump your kid full of sugar at 7 a.m. and expect them not to take some heavy artillery into class.
Okay.
You go with magic spoon.
You go.
You go with magic spoon.
All right.
Magic spoon, I'm telling you, it has absolutely delicious flavors.
But here's the thing.
Zero sugar.
So zero school shooting.
Zero shooting.
11 grams of protein.
Only three neck grams of carbs in each sugar.
Too full to shoot up.
Listen, this is a really important thing.
Only three neck grams of carbs.
That means if one of those other sugar-eating cereal motherfucking kids comes to the school, your skinny ass kid is going to be able to run the fuck away.
Think about how convenient that is.
Okay.
Magic spoon.
I'm telling you, four flavors.
Cocoa, black furs, fruity.
You're involved too.
All flavors matter.
Exactly.
Frosted and blueberry.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Okay.
All I'm trying to say is it tastes amazing.
It's absolutely delicious.
It's healthy.

Let's get back to the show.
Okay.
So before we get out of here, do you have anything to do?
You don't got shit to do, right?
You're chilling.
You're in New York.
All right, we're hanging out.
So this is a big fucking deal was made out of this.
And I'm trying to decide whether or not this actually matters.
But LeBron Jr., Ronnie, smoking the weed.
And I'm curious your take on it.
Akash, I'm curious your take.
A matter of fact, all of you guys, I'm curious your take on it.
At first, I looked at this and I'm like, it's a 16-year-old kid whose parents are in the bubble because I think he's literally home alone and he's anxious.
He doesn't respect the babysitter, whoever's looking after him, some family member, something like that, taking care of him.
And what happens a lot of times when kids are anxious, they try to find the boundaries.
They act out waiting for the rule, waiting for the line they can't cross, right?
We've all done this.
Everybody.
Everybody done it.
Right.
And I'm like, okay, that's what we're seeing here.
Not a big deal.
And then I looked at it and I go, wait a minute.
This kid wants to play ball.
He wants to be part of organizations.
He's been media trained since he's fucking two years old.
He is abundantly aware of what this means and the reaction this will get.
And this is opinion.
It's a possibility.
Both could work, right?
But, and boss, and I wonder if, and this might be reaching, you push me back, but I wonder if at 6'2, 16 years old, playing okay in high school ball, Bronnie is maybe starting to realize that he might not make the league.
And because of that, he can start making self-destruct.
Not necessarily destruct, but like make sabotage.
Not even self-sabotage, but more like, I'm going to make decisions that like any regular teenager would make that wouldn't go to the league and smoking a little weed might be that.
I wonder if that's playing into it.
Okay, thoughts.
I would say this.
I would say, even though he's been media trained since he was two or whatever you want to call it, he's still 16.
And when you see him, and you do dumb shit as a kid, even when you know.
It's not even like, oh, fuck, I didn't even think about that.
Like, he knows.
But also, you're like, like you said, mom and dad are gone, man.
You know how much dumb shit I did when my parents were gone, like on a trip?
Man, fuck, man.
Like, that's, you just do that.
And it has nothing to do with like rich family, poor family, like great upbringing, you know, a terrible upbringing.
All that doesn't matter.
At that age, like you said, you are seeking out what are the boundaries of the shit I can do.
You're just having fun, man.
It's not a big deal.
But also, you got to understand, it wasn't somebody caught you on camera smoking.
Your dumbass put your own.
And that's the part.
What's up?
Yeah, but he chose to videotape himself.
It's not that he was smoking.
This is...
No, no, that's a good point.
But another thing that he did is we're smoking the nugget.
Like, he almost tagged his dad in his own tweet, right?
I understand how this happened.
It's a big deal.
Yeah.
I don't know about you guys growing up in an immigrant family, at least Indian immigrant.
Everything you do reflects upon your family.
Sure.
Anytime a kid embarrasses somebody, like, yo, he's embarrassing his entire family.
Sure, you're a kid, you make dumb decisions.
But if you're Bronny fucking James, you don't think your decisions reflect upon your family with a billion-dollar empire and you put yourself, yo, you're a kid, you fucked up, but you fucked up.
But hold on.
But having said all that, you grew up in an immigrant family just like me.
I had that same speech and everything.
You not doing any dumb shit.
I did very little dumb shit.
You did Baylor's daughter.
I did very little.
Perfect, ladies and gentlemen.
I did very little dumb shit because it reflects upon your family.
Sure, mistakes happen.
Coleman.
This piece of shit right now.
There is potentially tens of millions of dollars on the line or whatever.
This is LeBron fucking James.
This guy is a brand.
For you to smoke weed, put yourself on IG Live.
Sure, do kids do stupid things?
Okay, fine.
But that doesn't make it not a huge mistake.
It's a huge mistake.
In the grand huge deal.
What's it going to do to him?
Not too much.
Then it's temporarily.
It's not a huge mistake.
Go, Alex.
Go.
John Wall was just throwing up.
John Wall is not LeBron James.
John Wall.
Don't put them in the same conversation.
He's in the league.
He has endorsed.
If John Wall loses his fucking zigzag sponsorship and rebukes or whatever, don't nobody give a fuck about your little stupid ass sneakers nobody wears.
But he's in the middle of the moment.
The video you're doing as Dougie is the highlight of your career in 2009.
Who cares?
It's John Wall.
Kids don't do not LeBron.
We've been media trained as kids, but our version of media trained is respecting adults.
Bronny is respecting adults.
We've all done little things and behaved to get in trouble, even though we've been media trained our whole life to respect adults.
And so, like, maybe you talked in class, clash, clown, or some shit like that got kicked out.
Hey, you were a kid.
You were smart.
You know, that would make your family upset at you.
But you still did it.
He's just a kid.
I see how kids make mistakes, but I'm not going to say, ah, he's a kid.
Nah, you fucked up.
No, you're not.
You're going to keep fucking with Spring.
But it's also not his first IG slip up.
He'd been on IG Actna before.
What was the other one?
No, he did.
Like, I remember.
Some little shit.
It wasn't that big of a deal.
But that was a small thing that you could have been like, yo.
Someone asked him if he was Smash Dwayne Wade's son or daughter or whatever the fuck.
He was like, yo, Jill, cut that out.
He ain't no fuck up.
He handled that perfectly, bro.
He handled that shit perfectly.
Respect.
So what I would say is this, there is something slightly different in that when you have social media as a person who has like some level of fame, okay?
You know the reaction that you get when you post something there.
So for example, like when he does a TikTok where they're doing some dance together, the family, and then it makes Sports Center, it makes everywhere.
He knows the ripple effect of his actions.
So that's way more clear to him than it is some average kid who doesn't have the spotlight and they don't see their actions become a national news story when they do something.
So he knows by smoking that, it's going to be on Sports Center.
It's going to be on Fox Sports News.
It's going to be on every Instagram post, every blog, everything.
He knows the shit show that's going to cause.
I'm surprised you didn't go.
I thought you were going right for your wheelhouse.
Which is.
Which is pussy was involved somehow or another.
Interesting.
Meaning, like, this might be on Sports Center and I'm going to get in trouble.
Or I might impress.
Look at me.
I'm on a grand.
I'm lit.
Come on.
All these fucking young rappers and shit like that.
He wants to be a kid.
You think he needs help getting pussy, bro?
Yo, you're Bronny James, though.
Bronnie James needs help getting pussy, bro.
Son, but he still wants to look cool.
Like these little kids look up to these mumble rappers.
They all do this shit.
I'm surprised he don't got purple hair.
Yeah, but you get away with it.
You can't get away with it.
If you are a billionaire kid, you can't get away with it the way fucking some other kid could.
You are more famous than John Wall right now.
Yeah, but look what happens.
You can't get away with that shit.
Nah, that's true, bro.
No, but it's true.
He could maybe be doing it just trying to impress his friends.
He's probably trying to get some pussy from Tobagnon.
He might be, dude.
I get it, Bradley.
I get it.
But you're assuming that he posted it on purpose, right?
He did.
It was on Instagram Live.
It was on live or on his story.
Well, I think it was on his story, and he put a caption saying, smoking nuggets while my pop smokes the nuggets.
And they're playing the Denver Nuggets.
It was something like that.
This was all calculated.
What a witty child.
I mean, I was pretty into it.
Okay.
And then.
Yes, my dear.
What is that?
But I need you to talk into the mic.
You know how much we love hearing from you.
I think that.
Yo, Flagrant 2 Taylor, mad funny, bro.
Yo, love it.
I don't know what happens on Brilliant Idiots.
I don't know what happens on Brilliant Idiots.
But Flagrant 2 Taylor, she on fire.
This girl's on fire.
What did she say earlier that we were dying laughing?
I don't remember.
She was making fun of me how I talk dirty.
Oh, yeah.
Do you want this dingo in?
Okay, go, Taylor.
Why is it such it's a big deal because it's LeBron's son, right?
Yeah, correct.
And I think that LeBron already knows that his son smokes weed.
That's what he said.
Or he got caught before.
Probably.
And I think he's more mad that it's like it's putting him in a negative light or whatever it's called.
But the average person's not going to care if their kids smoking weed.
Especially, yeah.
I also think we're a little bit older.
And I feel like if you grow up in California where weed is now decriminalized and it's illegal, I feel like parents probably have a different relationship with weed than our parents did growing up.
Absolutely.
LeBron not, LeBron's not about just California.
LeBron is national.
He's middle America.
I'm saying, I'm saying it's especially in his friend group.
It's exactly less organized, cool.
Where everybody, you know, their parents are very openly going to a dispensary and stuff.
It's not, there's, I can't stress it enough.
Being someone who lives in the West and then comes out here, it's a shock to me.
Like, to walk down the street and hear people say, I got, I got that gas.
I'm like, are you trying to sell me marijuana on the street like a poor person?
I walk into a place and they've got like somebody.
Yeah, no, it's just so insane to me that like the eastern part of this country, parts of it are just stuck in a stone age when it comes to weed.
Whereas like in California, Nevada, and Arizona, like, and this is red and blue states in the West, no one gives a shit.
It's like getting a drink.
Now, is there something about a 16-year-old getting a drink?
Like, conservative, bro.
This guy is a sneaky ass conservative.
You, you're trying to take jobs away from black and brown people, bro.
How?
These dispensaries come around.
It's going to be white people dealing with drugs, not black and brown people.
It's not the dispensaries.
Sneaky Conservative Dispensaries00:04:44
You know what kills them?
It's the farms.
Because now they have like these massive people white people.
Yeah, that's the thing that's.
Well, who's working a farm?
So there you go.
The system works.
All right.
Every fucking time I come here.
No, it's okay, bro.
We're going to get you fired one of these days, bro.
It's all good.
We're going to free you.
We're going to free you from the mouse.
We're going to free you from the mouse.
Okay.
You ever have a job for me?
I got you, fans.
And the visa.
Hey, I'm about to sponsor you.
Oh, you said it was easy.
Hold on, man.
It is easy.
I can sponsor you for real.
Deadass.
Yo, man, by the way, thank you.
What you got?
You got on that good shit?
Oh, man.
Oh, God.
This miracle gross.
Yeah, man.
Last time I was here, man, you shamed me into it.
And I said, you know what?
Okay.
But it's looking good.
Hey, man.
Like, I was skeptical, but I was like, this shit is actually, bro.
How that dangle lang working?
It's still working.
That's my favorite thing.
That's amazing.
I was really worried, but it was like, oh.
Nah, nah, they make that shit up, bro.
That's weak, weak dick dudes, man.
That's weak dick dudes.
Okay, that's all made up nonsense.
If you want to come through with the hammer, you got a full head of hair.
You got a full head of hair and then the hammer.
I actually regret not doing it earlier.
Like, yeah, you got to do it earlier.
You would have had more, bro.
You got to have more, man.
You go tear that shit the fuck up.
All right.
Big fight this weekend.
Friend of the show, Israel Adesanya is out there in fucking Dubai.
What is it?
You might have Arab Emirates.
Where the fuck is it?
Fight Island, but it's out of this.
It's an Emirates.
It's an Emirates.
Off the coast of Dubai.
Okay, so they're in Fight Island.
He's fighting this guy, Paula Costa.
He's going to whoop that fucking ass.
This shit is literally going to be light work.
I think people are like, they see the size of Paolo, right?
Because he's all like juiced up and everything like that.
And they start thinking, oh, is he going to be too big for Izzy?
This, that, the other.
A lot of people don't realize, like, Izzy is fucking gigantic.
He's, yo, that night we saw him in LA.
Yep.
I was staggered.
When he came to the show at the Laugh Factory, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was stat because he looks like a skinny dude on TV.
He looks skinny on TV and then you see him in person and he's huge and long.
Yeah.
Okay.
Super long arms, super long legs, reaches crazy.
So this guy is going to come in, this little like bulldog looking guy, Paulo Costa, he's going to come in.
I think Izzy is going to pick him the fuck apart.
What he wants more than anything is an aggressive fighter that's going to bring the fight to him because that lets him do all his counter punching and striking.
Just, I think this is light work.
Now, does he get the knockout?
I don't know.
It really depends about that Paolo Costa guy's chin.
He might have a good chin.
But in terms of like piecing that fucking guy up, I think it's a wrap.
I think this is actually an easy, exciting fight for Izzy.
I think he really exposes this other guy.
He's going to order it.
Have you talked to him?
Yeah.
Since he's been out there, I hit him yesterday.
What's it like?
Where in the island?
Yeah.
I don't want to ask him really about that shit because like, I don't want to get in like this fight week.
Right.
Like, he's got like.
I don't want to get in nobody's head.
You know what I mean?
Like, my feeling is just like, yo, we got you.
We're riding with you.
Let's go.
What's up?
What's going on?
Is this his first fight out there?
I think so.
I'll be interested to hear what it's like because it's like, now I'm really into comparing bubble experiences.
Yes, I was talking to a friend of mine who was at the NHL bubble, and it's like their shit is nowhere near as lit as the NBA one.
Really?
Yeah, their shit is boring up there.
Stars might win the cup, though.
That's cool being from Dallas.
Only time I've given a fuck about hockey in my life.
Ever.
I didn't even know the bubble was going on with hockey.
One.
And two, that's sad because the hockey dudes are also the most like the biggest party animals.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Those are by far the biggest partiers because nobody recognizes them.
They're out there in one oak just partying, missing teeth.
I heard everybody who wins a Stanley Cup on the team gets the cup for a day.
Yeah.
Man, the shit that cup is probably seen.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, yeah, man.
And it's the same cup.
Yeah.
Some cup.
So it's.
They just add a ring to it at the bottom or whatever.
The guy who is the official chaperone, I talked to him and he told me, like, first of all, I said, yo, if this thing's been around for 150 years, how is it only this tall?
Yeah.
He said, every like six years, they take it.
They add a ring.
Well, no, they, they, and they send the other one to the Hall of Fame.
So it always just keeps moving up.
And then once you get popped off, it goes back to the Hall of Fame.
Interesting.
And the other thing he said was like, he went.
It's not the real one.
No, it is the real one.
Keep it 100.
The one that goes.
Keep it 100.
The one that goes, he went to Russia with what's his name?
They took that.
Ovetskin.
Ovetskin took that motherfucker.
Or Russia took the cup.
Oh, you're talking about that shit.
I think they took the cup to Russia.
I've heard this shit, but like, I don't, I don't.
He says because he has to be in the room with the cup.
He lost it for a week or something like that.
Or like they took it somewhere.
There's a story where he wasn't with it.
And then they have this cup, which is the cup we have today.
And the conspiracy is that the Russians took it.
The Russians took it and they gave a replica cup.
Taking Stanley Cups, elections, these motherfuckers doing everything.
They really out there, bro.
Russians?
Yeah.
That shit is wild, man.
It's like they're scarier now than they were in the 80s.
Yeah.
Yo, real talk.
80s, they were all talk.
Hockey Hall Of Fame Talk00:15:20
Yeah.
I'm hungry doing all this shit.
Yeah, it just kept getting bodied.
Like, you knew if a Russian was a villain, they were getting got.
Yeah.
Nah, man.
Now you don't even know who the villain.
Yeah.
Niggas in the shadows.
And we slept on their BH's in the 80s.
Did we?
Yeah, because you would have like some decent looking like Russian chicks, but they all has like short haircuts and shit.
Like, what was that girl's name?
Think about it.
Fucking braids or what?
Nielsen.
Yeah, she was dating that guy.
Was it the clock?
Flavor Flavor.
Yeah, Flavor Flav.
She's Swedish, though.
Yeah, that bitch could have been.
She's what?
She's Swedish.
Same shit.
Big on, bitch.
Big on.
Yeah.
But they were, they are fine as fuck, dude.
Dude, that's funny when I call a white girl a bitch, huh?
Taylor.
Come on.
Inconsistent.
Oh, that's fucked up.
Inconsistent.
White bitches needed some respect, too.
You can't be out here disagreeing with me.
She got sex with all these bitches, Taylor.
Come on.
Sorry, white bitches.
Yeah.
I mean, didn't mean that.
I mean, didn't mean to co-sign that.
Disney Amin.
Walt Disney Amin from here.
The ESPN Kirby did not mean to co-sign me calling you some BH's.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm comfortable with this.
Before we run out of time on a card, how much time do we have left on the card?
This is the paywall one, right?
Just two.
No, it's not the paywall one.
It's not paywall, bro.
Yeah, this is not the SM.
What was the last time you were on torture chambers?
I mean, you ain't on that on my guy.
Yeah, maybe we'll do that.
We'll do that.
All I'm trying to say here is a mean.
We got to start treating people with respect.
Okay.
I mean that 100%.
That goes for all the bitches.
All of them.
We got to treat with respect.
Everybody we got to treat with respect.
Everybody's life matters.
All what do you feel about how do you feel about the war of slogans?
Oh, man.
That shit is.
That's the dumbest shit.
Like, when people want to get so deep into like, well, actually.
Technically, what this means is.
But I'll tell you what.
The crazy thing is, like, I keep learning is that.
Where happening?
Wait, what happened?
No, I mean, we're at like 20 seconds.
Okay, so we'll just stop for a second and then we're going to just put another card.
All right, guys.
Sorry about that.
We had to take a quick break, man.
Switch cards because we having so much fun with Amin, Amina Hassan.
Go check out my man Amin.
I want to get back to that Izzy fight real quick or just MMA in general.
Did you guys see the Colby Covington?
I've heard about it.
Whereas Tyron Woodley, did you guys see this at all?
You heard about it?
The fight?
No, I saw the argument he had with Olsman.
The presidential colony.
Yeah, Kumaru.
Yeah.
Yeah, that shit was meh funny, bro.
You know, do you think he lost it?
Like, he broke character at some point?
Oh, I think he, do you know what I think has happened with Kobe Covington?
For everybody who's listening right now, Colby Covington was a fighter.
He's a very good fighter.
He wasn't getting a lot of buzz or popularity.
And then he assumed this character, which was like this Make America Great Again MAGA guy, right?
But it was a character.
He had like somebody writing lines for him and like scripted.
And it wasn't like a real thing.
And he started to gain all this interest and people really invested.
And like, I guess, I don't know if there was a lot of MAGA support, but there was tons of anti-MAGA hate in the same way like Floyd Mayweather.
What's up?
No, no, no.
In the same way that like Floyd Mayweather garnered a lot of interest off of hate.
Like people were invested in seeing him lose.
So like Kobe became this villain.
Right.
Right.
Yep.
And so all of a sudden he's this villain.
And I think what happened to him is the same thing that happened to Andrew Dice Clay.
Oh, shit.
Oh, two method lost himself in the character.
I think he's got, I think he became it.
And I think it's easy to become something when you're getting so much hate for it because you double down into where the love is.
Well, especially when you're making money off of it.
It's like your business is doing better than it's ever done before.
Business is booming for the first time in your life.
You have some control.
You have a fan base that actually supports you and you don't want to lose all those things, right?
It's almost like the cult thing.
It's like you become part of a cult and you're like, well, shit, I might not like exactly what's going on in this cult, but I like how my friends are like having purpose, like having a position.
I like doing something like.
So I think he started to actually become this complete character that he was.
Like the guy was like, I don't know, like early stuff, he was just like one of the dudes, like super regular guy, like not extreme, really anything.
I mean, even when you see him, like if you don't know who we're talking about, when you see him, he looks like a cartoon character.
He's got the USA pants.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he's got a MAGA hat and he wears like wraparound Oakley shades.
He plays the, he's clearly playing a part.
So here's the thing.
I think he was playing the part and I think now it's become, and after like in the press conference, he's doing this thing where he's like attacking, like he whooped Tyron Woodley's ass.
Like he just fucking destroyed this dude.
And they had like a beef previous and whatever.
And it was, he kicked his ass.
And what he had this kind of like conversation where he was talking shit about Tyron Woody afterwards.
And he started like spouting out a lot of this anti-Black Lives Matter rhetoric that you hear in like, like from like YouTube commentators a lot.
It's like, it's a Marxist organization.
It's a communist.
He's a communist.
He's a Marxist.
Right.
And I understand like where they're going with that, because if you go to like the Black Lives Matter website for the organization, it will say that they have these values that were about breaking down the Western idea of the nuclear family or whatever the fuck.
The Black Minds Matter, the organization is probably different than the movement.
Does that make sense?
These are two different entities, and the movement is focused on one specific thing, which is police brutality.
And then the organization has a bunch of different things.
Who knows?
Who cares?
Point is he's like spouting all this stuff.
And people could say that it's all to hype up fights, this, that, the other.
But for me, it represented the first time that hyping up a fight went outside of the hacky stereotypes of who that person was.
Right.
Usually for fights to hype up, right?
If you're fighting against an Italian guy, you come in there eating a meatball sandwich.
I'm going to eat this guy like a fucking Floyd Mayweather's coming with a sombrero on.
He's like, this is what I do.
I take out Mexicans.
It's just the lowest common denominator stuff.
And it's funny to hype it up because you're attacking identity.
But at the same time, it's not so offensive that you haven't heard it from anybody that you're playing basketball again.
It was like within the realm of shit talk.
Of shit talk.
Does that make sense?
Like what Mantra's here I'll call Luke a bitch-ass white boy.
Exactly.
It's like we've all kind of heard that.
We could act like it's a bigger deal.
And of course, the NBA is going to be like super hypocritical because they're not going to address that at all because they pretend like they're like super woke.
But the average ball player.
A little bit.
They find the dude.
Like, what do you want?
Where'd they find him?
They find him like 50 grand.
I didn't realize that.
I thought he was apologizing.
I had not heard that.
Mantra's got fine.
Oh, I just saw him apologize, but he wasn't like forced to apologize or he wasn't suspended or any of that kind of shit.
No, he wasn't.
Yeah, no.
Right?
But like, I guess the point is, is like, this is the first time you see this, you see like actual political rhetoric in the shit talk.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
No, it's, it's, yeah.
But like, even in like cricket matches between like Pakistan, Pakistan and India, right?
Like, no, I'm listening.
This is serious.
Like, as far as you've told me, there's really funny banter back and forth.
What?
Like, what?
Galigalima short here.
Pakistani short hair.
What did that mean?
I was at a cricket, World Cup of cricket when India won the finals.
They started chanting that at the end of the match.
It means there's noise in the alley.
Pakistanis are thieves.
That's what it means.
Wow.
But we're proud, though.
We're playing Sri Lanka at the time.
Wow.
No, that's some real shit.
That's some real shit.
Because at Washington Wizards games, like 10 years ago or whatever, when they wanted the crowd to get loud to boo someone shoot at the pre-throw line, they would put a picture of JJ Reddick up in his Duke jersey.
Because I did just like people in Maryland hate fucking Duke.
JJ Reddick is nowhere near this match.
So I like that shit.
We're going to talk shit.
We don't like you so much.
We're going to talk shit about Jeevan United.
But again, like the JJ Reddick thing or the Pakistani Indian.
There's no rhetoric.
Yeah.
They're thieves.
What the fuck is that?
Like, who cares, right?
It's not like they're specifically saying exactly.
They literally, if you want to think about it, they literally are leaving politics out of sport.
And what's interesting about the Kole Goving thing is you didn't hear a lot of the people who are like, stop talking about politics and sports, man.
Like, we didn't hear a lot of that conversation, right?
I didn't hear a lot of those people like, why are you making this political, bro?
That's wild that he went that far.
Like, is that so?
That's the writers, though, right?
Is that the writing room?
He is his theory, and I can believe it, is that he's becoming the character he played.
Wow.
Because they even push back on it.
They're like, why is he a communist?
He was like, well, he hates America.
He doesn't do anything.
It's like, what does that exactly mean?
He had nothing.
You know where he's fucking up and where all these guys fuck up, I think, is in wrestling.
You always get a lot of popularity by being a heel, and then you flip back to being good.
Yes.
And he skipped that too far.
Well, I think what happened is he lost to Kamara Usman.
If he won, you think he'd have flipped?
I think what he was going to do is I think it was character, character, character.
He beats Kamara Usman, and I think he just becomes likable.
Like, I think he's just like, listen, we got to unite.
We got to bring everybody together.
Like, let's not have hate.
Like, all this other.
I really think there would have been the flip, and he would have been the poster boy.
So I think the UFC gets behind it.
And in a way, it almost looks, it makes Trump and MAGA look better because now it's not this extremist guy out there spouting rhetoric and like, hey, let's just be Americans, love each other, let's fucking dap it up.
It's all good.
And then he gets his fucking face broken by Usman.
He got his ass beat, right?
No, it was a really competitive fight.
Usman broke his jaw, like did some of the job, but it was super competitive.
And he claims it was an early stoppage.
Amazing fight on both their behaviors.
Usman won.
Okay.
Stopped him.
Got it.
Amazing fight.
But I think after that, he's like, oh no, fuck that.
I'm real with this shit.
Or you got to keep leaning in until you can do the heel turn.
This actually impresses me about Tyson Fury.
He was able to be the asshole and then flip, but never brought race into it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was an asshole.
He didn't like the guy.
Cocky, whatever.
He had a lot of the shit like the flashy black boxer would do.
Quote unquote.
And he unlikable, talking shit, and then he wins.
And he's like, yo, this guy, wild, is such a great fighter, man.
Love this guy.
And he still calls him a bum.
Yeah, and then calls him a bum for the next fight.
And then again, hey, this guy's great, you know?
And I think he does have one advantage.
His accent.
Outside of accent, he's a gypsy.
Oh, that's his ethnic card that he can play.
I mean, amongst just white people, he's.
Is that a thing here?
I know it's a thing in Europe.
Is that a thing here?
No, no, no.
We don't even know what the fuck gypsies are.
Right.
There was that one TV show about them, but we don't really know.
Snatch kind of.
Snatch kind of put us on a little bit, but we know they're marginalized.
So I think it protects him a little bit because he's like, look, I'm not out here hating other people.
I'm literally named after a black guy.
I come out here singing black musicians every single day.
Like, clearly, I don't hate black people.
Right.
Right?
Like, clearly, my family doesn't hate black people.
And all that second-class treatment that black people talking about, we get it, baby.
This is what it's like.
I like how black people are just talking about it.
You guys talk about this shit a lot.
I've never seen it.
What are you talking about?
It's not like there's videos out here every fucking week.
So it was a look.
It's just an interesting switch, I think, where like politics is, you got to see this week, like politics really embedded in sport.
Yeah.
And specific agenda.
Yeah, it was not going to comment on his videos.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I hit him today, and I was like, bro, don't let him drag you into the MAGA thing.
And if he brings up the MAGA shit, say, you should go make your face great again.
Yeah.
And I was like, it's going to come.
Hold on.
Come on, bro.
I got to help out my guy.
Hold on.
Is there a cottage industry for this?
Yeah.
Writing for like.
You don't think Chris Rock was probably punching up shit for people that he liked?
You don't think Barack Obama got some bars from Chris?
Chris is an asshole if he didn't hook up Barack.
Yeah.
Chris is an asshole if he didn't look at them speeches and be like, can I do some sort of punch up?
That's different, though.
Like politicians do have that.
They do have community.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm talking about fighters.
I haven't done it for any fighter dudes outside of just like messaging Kamara.
Like Stylebender, he's so good with the social media shit.
He's better than me with the social stuff.
But like, if he was ever like, if Izzy was ever like, yo, I got this speech for whatever.
Like, you want to help me out?
Of course.
Fucking, of course.
I want them to look good, man.
That's the thing.
Like, new media folks, it seems to me new media folks help other people that are in new media because we're not competing for that position that the corporation is going to give us.
Right.
You know, like, where I don't know where it is on ESPN, but like, I don't know if you and other guys are beefing for the hottest take because it's not like that.
I'm sure there are people who are like that.
Right.
Like Dan Levittard tells a story about the first time he did PTI, he actually did it with Skip Bayless.
I've heard nothing good about Skip ever.
He said Skip literally was like hiding because he didn't want Dan to steal his takes.
And Dan is like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Everything was kind of like hyper competitive or whatever.
And Dan's just like, dude, I'm just here to do a show.
So there are people like that.
Most of the people I'm friends with aren't because like we just don't give a shit enough.
And we always understand like when you make good content, it creates an appetite for more good content.
And that's what these like social media kids have done so well.
Like all these TikTok dudes, Vine and Instagram, they've realized like, yo, instead of like separating, let's get a fucking house together.
Go get a house and fucking all create stuff and just build each other.
Everyone's building their own, bringing their own audience.
And so all we're doing is we're introducing people to like, oh, we got this audience.
Exactly.
Which is why I want to plug my podcast right here.
Two podcasts.
First of them is Cinephobe.
This is the podcast where we review movies that are rated 40% or worse on Rotten Tomatoes.
And then we decide whether it's like, hey, this is actually a pretty good movie or no, this shit was actually terrible.
What is the worst movie that you actually think is good?
The worst one that actually think is good.
I wish I remembered one of your early episodes, you reviewed a movie that you said was bad and I was like, I fucking love this movie.
Was it Theodore Rex?
Probably a Ron Company.
No, I was like gross point blank or some shit.
Maybe I'm not.
No, no, no, no.
It's got to be a really bad movie for us.
I've done it.
Cop out?
No, no, no.
Was it Coffee and Kareem?
No.
I'll check.
I'll check.
So you stop naming it.
Kangaroo Jack 2.
Okay, go.
What's the worst one that's actually good?
Worst one that's actually good, I would say probably the fucking Heartbreak Kid.
A lot of people hate that movie.
I like it.
A lot of people hate it, though.
Ben Stiller, yeah, and uh, Malin Ackerman and uh Rob Quartery.
I don't know.
Um, it's all right.
It's all right, Ben Stiller rom-com.
It's a Ben Stiller rom-com.
It's gay, it's for gays or it's for everybody, it's for everybody, all people, gotcha, okay.
All right, fine, and then the other podcast is Black Opinions Matter, B-O-M-M.
That's the one where we talk about black boring.
God damn it, man.
It's a plug.
Black opinions.
You got some great movies on here.
The Departed?
No, that was April Fool's movie.
Okay.
Along Came Polly, fantastic.
Hall Pass, fun time.
Yeah, Hall Pass is good.
Yeah.
Along Came Polly, great movie.
Have you seen Hall Pass?
We saw that together that we saw it together.
Did you hold hands?
We didn't hold hands.
No, I sucked his dick before the movie, so we were free.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, bro.
Come on, dog.
Come on, dude.
Ronnie over here.
Come on, bro.
Come on, dude.
That shit was wild, bro.
We suck each other's dicks, bro.
This shit was mutual.
Right, you're right.
You're right.
Look, in all seriousness, okay.
Black Boring Movie Plug00:09:19
Black opinions matter.
Matter.
Can we be on the podcast?
Podcast.
Us two and Mark.
So here's the money.
You, yes.
Al, yes.
We have kind of a like a no white people allow.
Yeah.
But we have, we have, let me ask you a question.
Yes.
Doesn't it feel good?
Let me a little party feel good.
Let me answer your question.
It feels fucking phenomenal.
Because I know people do that.
But equals.
That was the idea.
You're not saying that I can't have my podcast.
You're just saying that you have your podcast with your people.
Yeah.
You know?
It's a fun time.
You tell people they can't come on the podcast.
And they say, why not?
And I said, because you're white.
Because you're white.
And that is allowed.
But we have had a couple of white people, but they were produced.
Jake Won, the music producer, and we had the music producer, Poobs.
What if you had a white person on, but he wasn't allowed to sit and he had to drink a different water?
Can I drink strawberry lemonade?
I think we asked two different questions, but yeah.
Sorry.
Okay, so listen, so this Black Opinions Matter podcast.
Yes.
Okay.
That I'm going to promote, even though white people aren't allowed.
Are white people allowed to listen?
Yes, absolutely.
We encourage you.
Oh, they still want your dollar.
You take black.
They don't want your voice in.
I see how it is.
Shut up and listen, Andrew.
Shut up and press play.
Oh, shit.
So you're just going to monetize me and my people, make money of us, but not represent us on your platforms.
Where have I heard about this?
Also, we exploit your culture.
Podcasting?
We did invent podcasting.
Did you?
Yeah.
Are you sure?
The first podcast?
Who was it?
Had to be a white guy.
It had to be.
Making a lot of assumptions there.
Come on, bro.
Podcasting.
Podcasting.
What black dude, you know, just got a bunch of recording equipment, a bunch of microphones, and that absolutely nothing.
I ain't even a podcast.
There's a black dude with recording equipment.
He's rapping, bro.
He's singing.
He's making music.
Talking about murders.
I love how Akash's black guy voice sounds like he's from Dallas.
Oh, yeah.
It's a very Texas.
It's a very Texas black guy.
We've been hit this podcast.
Okay, so Black Opinions Matter podcast.
Is there a specific thing that you guys have black opinions on?
Everything.
The idea is that, like, the Taylor.
Taylor, I don't know what just happened, Taylor, but I apologize.
Okay, I'm white.
Go on.
Don't you ever.
You got ahead of it.
Don't you ever tell a black woman what she can or can't do.
Okay?
Don't you ever, right, Taylor?
Ain't that right?
You know what I mean?
If you were white, I'd tell you to shut your ass up right now.
That's what I'd do.
I'd say no one asked your ass.
That's what you got to do.
That's how you tell.
That's how you tell black women.
The roundabout way to tell black women how you feel is you're like, if you were white, you're lucky you ain't white.
God hadn't blessed you with this melanin.
No, it's everything.
It's everything.
And the idea is that, because at first, does melanin come from water?
No.
Yo, can we play that back?
Can we play that back?
Black people have so much melancholy.
Is it from all the watermelons?
You don't like watermelon?
What?
Yo, shit, man.
Black opinion.
She doesn't matter, man.
Yeah, let her have her own opinion, dog.
I'm just saying, man.
It's such a delicious fruit.
What did you guys have back in Sudan?
Just sand melon?
Watermelon.
That's erased, yo.
That's how you want to be ally sandwiches.
That shit even caught out.
Sand melan.
So stupid.
Yeah, there's a rim shot.
That's what they call a rim shot.
Yo, I always say that.
Your generation has a way different definition from that.
I'm gonna say you go down that foot.
Don't you dare, Taylor.
If you were a white woman, I advise you not to talk about your sexual practices.
Okay, we do not want to know about it.
Have respect for your boyfriend.
No, don't.
I'm saying have respect.
What?
I'm saying, listen, I fucks with your boyfriend, bro.
I protect you.
Do you know what I mean?
From all these hooligans out here.
These hooligans trying to get out of the way?
These hooligans trying to get a tail in the YouTube comments.
Hoolums?
We just delete all those comments.
We're not allowing it, bro.
We're not allowing it.
We're not going to allow you to build up all this self-esteem and leave your boyfriend.
Yo.
We won't allow it, bro.
We got you, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Come on, yo.
Get out of here.
All these motherfuckers out here trying to doctor Dre you.
YouTube comments, yo.
Write that little letter.
Write your letter to me.
Scambra and YouTube comments.
Taylor, what were we talking about?
Black Opinions Matter, bro.
B-O-M-M.
That's the podcast.
Okay, can we do like a micro version of it right now where we give you a topic and you give an opinion?
No, I'd rather they just go.
But maybe we'll give them a little taste.
Okay.
Why are there two M's?
Well, Black Opinions Matter movement used to come out on Mondays.
And then we had some shit happen, and now they come out on Tuesday.
So now the lane.
Second M. Second M switch.
So some shit happened.
So what had happened was we were going to put it out on Monday, but what had happened was we need to get away from it.
My checking account is my favorite.
Taylor, what?
Tell her what?
Tell her, if you don't stop looking at me like that, Taylor, Taylor, you got those Africa earrings on.
You don't know where Sudan is on those security.
All right, Black Opinions Matter podcast.
Yes.
Okay, really?
B-O-M-M.
Here's opinion.
Opinion number one.
Right.
White pussy.
Go.
Yeah, my man got the water real fast to symbolize his thirst for white pussy.
It made him thirsty.
It made him thirsty to reach for the water.
You know it.
Because that white pussy is your last.
That white-ass pussy.
Tell us about that.
Tell us about that white ass pussy.
The wettest pussy.
The wettest pussy, bro.
Tell us about it.
That's right.
Keep drinking.
Come on, dogs.
What's that white-ass pussy like?
Real talk.
B-O-M-M, wherever you get podcasts.
Is that what you're going to tell them what it's about and what it's like?
We have five different shows.
Five different shows?
Yeah.
Each one comes on a different day of the week.
Mine is on Tuesdays.
That's bomb.
You have Crazy, Sexy Cool, which is three black women.
What the fuck is going on right now?
How you get my podcast in one?
Because it's a network, bro.
Oh, what's the number one?
Oh, bomb.
B-O-M-M.

CBD Anxiety Relief Offer00:06:22
That's right.
Let's get back to the show.
Is Flagrant 2 like the like?
How does this work?
Sean, we all know.
Yo, yo, I kind of argue, we out here on our own.
No, ask whatever you want.
We're open with our business practices, unlike some.
It feels good to be your own boss, doesn't it?
It does feel good to be your own boss.
Don't worry about it.
You know what I'm saying?
And like, for real, like, your own boss, not like you say your own boss, but then you always got to get it.
But like, you've mastered the thing that I think a lot of people wanted to master, which is, I call it the Gilbert Arenas.
Ooh.
When you have nobody.
Nobody to answer to.
Correct.
Yes.
Nobody to answer to.
Correct.
You could say whatever, and if people get upset, it's like they can't cancel you because I'm uncancelable.
Well, I wouldn't say that.
I just.
Hey, clear it up real quick.
I wouldn't say that all that.
No, but I would say, like, my people can cancel me.
Your people.
Yes.
You can only be canceled by your people.
But your people are already bought into the Andrew Schultz experience.
Exactly.
So if I am fraudulent in being myself, then they could be upset.
Yes.
So the only thing that I have to continue doing is being myself.
Yep.
And Akai's got to continue to be himself.
That's why I literally say it every single day.
Aka's going to cancel.
He might be Angie.
And Show's experience is actually the next name of this podcast.
We've been there.
Remember this?
Those two.
Cinephobe, B-O-M-M.
Check it out.
Okay, subscribe.
Cinophobe.
Cinephobe.
This keeps sounding like you're saying centerfold.
Cinephobe.
Cinophobe.
Cinophobe.
And then the black opinions matter, motherfucker.
B-O-M-M.
B-O-M-M.
Yes.
Okay.
Bomb.
I'm not going to make this.
No, go ahead.
I'm not making the joke.
I'm not making it.
You threw it like Dwayne Wade and LeBron's running.
Go ahead.
Different Muslim.
This is the no-clit Muslim.
By the way.
Wait a minute.
Never understood that.
Never understood that concept.
This is clinophobe.
I got you.
You a wild boy.
Okay, go, Real talk.
What, Taylor, what?
Hop up off your clit and ask.
Shut up.
I'm probably going to make a dumb statement, but when you said that... I don't want to.
It's okay.
We won't just.
Go for it, Taylor.
Why did you say that?
Taylor is so fucking dope.
I'm flagrant, too.
Why did you say it wasn't...
Okay, in my head, when you said it was the no-clit, whatever, like that, I'm assuming you're saying like they don't shave their shit.
They shave.
They shave a little too much.
A little too close.
They shave that shit right off.
They cut off the clits.
Yo, why did you bring this up?
We were talking about America being dope.
Come on.
All the clits are intact.
Facts, though.
Do you know what I mean?
Would you change that about Sudan if you were a mayor?
If I was mayor.
Do you think?
You're a comtroller Sudan?
Yeah, if you were mayor of a city in Sudan, would you be like, no, we're not chopping off clits?
It is technically illegal, but obviously.
But would you get up in there?
Like, would I enforce that shit?
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
And how would you do it?
Mandatory clip checks?
Pop the hood.
Son, smile.
Suck.
You gotta get an inspection sticker.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Now I need people to really subscribe because I'm not gonna have my words content over at bomb, yo.
Oh, shit.
Black opinions matter, motherfucker.
Yes.
Real talk.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
How did we get to that?
That was the first question that we asked you about.
Okay.
Next question for your black opinions matter.
Right.
Okay.
Let me get to it.
I would like your black opinion on.
I would like your specifically black opinion on this.
One thing.
Can Eastern and Northeastern Africans use the N-word.
I knew you were going to ask that.
How did you know he was going to ask that?
Did you know he's going there?
No, but he's always thinking about the N-word.
So I don't say it.
Finally.
So I don't say it.
So I don't say it.
Yeah.
I'm going to say if you are black.
Clarify why I'm asking a question though.
Because people would just assume, well, if you're African, that means you're like, but there are places in Africa like Egypt.
Yep.
Like Algeria.
Yep.
Like Morocco.
Morocco, Tunisia, where they don't look black.
They look more Arabic.
Arabic.
And white.
A lot of them look white.
Yes, many of them look white.
Fair-skinned and straight-hair and all that.
Or they'll have a little bit of curly hair.
They'll look Mediterranean, right?
If you look at people in Sicily or in Spain, they look a lot like that.
Because there's been years of European influence in those regions.
No, that's because that's the Arabs who came.
Like, the reason why Spaniards and Portuguese look the way they do is the Moors one of them.
Because the Moors went there.
Like, I guess what I'm saying is, like, the Roman Empire reached Egypt.
Yeah.
The Greek Empire reached Egypt.
And, like, the Spanish and like French.
But the whole region, like, you look at like Iraqis and Syrians, they all look like that.
Right.
So, can they drop this beat and bomb?
They cannot.
Those ones cannot.
They cannot.
They cannot.
North Africa can't.
North Africa can't.
Can Sudan.
South Africa.
What?
What?
Huh?
I thought that.
Mark.
Put your hair down in a bob.
Put your hair down in a bob, Mark.
Get your lickens.
Roman Empire Egypt History00:07:55
What?
Get your lickens.
Not the rim shot.
Okay.
Okay.
When can you start saying the N-word?
North Africa.
It starts at Sudan.
North Sudan, no N-word.
No.
South Sudan, drop it like it's home.
No, Because North Sudan, we're still black.
There are.
Are you black enough to say the N-word?
Fuck yeah.
I don't know, dude.
Yeah, yeah.
Puerto Rican ass, don't.
Taylor, step in here, bro.
Step in here and let us know.
Like, what's going on right now, Taylor?
Is Al black enough to say that N-word?
Only if you give him permission, real talk.
This is a pivotal moment.
Yeah.
This is like the Supreme Court.
Whatever you rule.
Gonna give us the verdict, huh?
Ruf Blacker Ginsburg.
Ruth Blacker Ginsburg.
Anyways.
All right, go.
I just feel like it's weird that you're saying that he can't when you're half.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Okay, kick rocks.
Or as they would say, a punishment.
It's so bad.
Because he knows it.
That's the problem.
He knows what he did.
Come on, bro.
He's screeching up like that.
Because he knows what he did.
Can I just make fun, bad jokes?
Do I have to?
Do they have to be haymakers all the time?
Can I be a father?
Can I become old?
Can't I age?
Okay, go, go.
No, you, you were going to remark on the fact that he has a Black Opinions Matter podcast and he's not even black.
Bullshit.
He just said Boulder Dash.
If that isn't the fucking non-blackest shit I've ever heard, will you allow him to be on the Black Opinions Matter podcast?
Will you allow, Taylor?
Taylor, seriously, this is a big thing.
This is huge.
This is absolutely massive right now, for real.
Does he need to abort his podcast?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Who's your other co-host?
My other co-hosts are all black too.
Well, maybe they could just cut a little piece of the podcast.
Just cut the best parts.
Just got the fun parts.
Just pop the hood.
Okay, so what?
He's allowed to.
He's black enough.
Yes.
Okay.
You're black enough.
Thank you.
Thank you, Taylor.
Taylor, you want to be a guest on the podcast?
Oh, shit.
What about Al?
Can Al be a guest?
Al can be a guest.
There you go.
Half the podcast.
We just have to be a guest.
All right, listen, go check out Amin's podcast, man.
Amen.
We love you.
I think you're fucking great.
I think you're such a talent.
And I can't wait till you leave mainstream media.
It's going to be so fun.
Yeah.
You guys keep, yo, man.
If you didn't have a family, would you go the independent route?
If I didn't have a family, yes, I would, there's all types of risks I would take.
Exactly.
You have a family, so there's responsibilities that you have to.
So you have to maintain your enjoyment level within the confines of protecting these people.
And that's a responsibility of things to do.
Yeah, I mean, and also, like, I want to be able, yeah, I want to enjoy what I do.
Like, I wish I could do what you guys do.
That's why every time I'm in town, I always hit you up.
I said, I'm here if you guys need me.
This is like an escape for me.
But at the same time, if I weren't in that situation, would I try a lot of stuff?
Yeah, but also would I succeed?
I don't know.
I think maybe sometimes it works the way it works because I parachute in to things every four or five months.
But, you know, it's a difference between being a sometimes person and then you guys are like, cut the cord, burn the boats, burn the bridges.
We're gone.
We're on the island.
You're on the island, right?
We're going to go home.
So, exactly.
So, I think that's why I respect what you guys do.
I told you, you know, for years now, you guys.
What?
I'm sorry, bro.
I was trying to hold it in to the end of your speech.
I tried to make a podcast.
I was like, that's why he got to make his own podcast.
Yeah, but dude, I was really trying to hold it in.
I snuck the first one out, man.
Cube.
How long were you holding it, bro?
Say what?
How long were you holding it?
I was holding that thing since you started talking about that white girl pussy.
It was so wet and lathered up that you was slip-sliding all up in it.
And then you chefs kissed it.
Remember?
Anyway, man, yo, check out Amin on all platforms, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
You're a moderator on Pornhub.
Aren't you a moderator, bro?
Aren't you a mod of me?
I do enjoy reading the comments.
You do?
You ever read the comments under the videos on Pornhub?
Never once in my entire life.
I'm telling you, next time, go, just click comment.
And it's just the weirdest stuff because, like, it'll be one guy who says, oh, my God, I would love to just fuck her in her ass, right?
No matter what's happening.
And then there's another guy who says, who has like actual critiques.
Okay.
I'm like, yeah, this one wasn't that good.
Like, lighting was off or like before.
Yeah, like, he's like, he's giving like critiques of like the actual video and shit.
These porn stars look at their comments like we do.
Dude, oh, yeah.
I know a kid that used to do this.
He would comment.
It was like a comment from Orlando.
He would comment on porn like videos on porn.
Or like to troll people.
He would do like legit breakdowns.
Like he would do cinephile for fucking pornhub and break that shit down.
And then porn stars started sending him videos being like, hey, can you review my video?
Get out of here.
He started doing like low-key like porn reviews on pornhub.
That's white privilege, bro.
He's like a Dominican kid.
He made money?
I don't know.
I don't know if he did.
What's his name?
Can we follow him?
Mike Almanzar.
Yo.
Shout out to Mike Almanzar, man.
You the fucking truth.
I probably have seen his comments.
I enjoy your work, Mike, wherever you are.
Because it's fucking hilarious.
I mean, I think you got to, we talked about this last time about when you watch too much porn.
Yeah.
You reach a level where it's like you're not even watching porn to jerk off or whatever.
You're watching porn for enjoyment.
Like some porn makes me laugh.
You never laugh.
You never laugh when you're watching.
He just watches Cobra Kai for that reason.
Yeah.
You got to get into that Cobra Kai, man.
No mercy.
Strike first.
That's not good when it comes to porn.
Fuck, you're right.
Anyway, man, look, Amin, we're going to get off on that incredibly awkward moment so that people judge you, but they will find more about you at the Black Opinions Matter motherfucker podcast network.
Yep.
They'll also find it at Cinephobe.
Cinephobe.
And, of course, all over ESPN.
All over ESPN.
There it is.
I love you.
We love you, Doug.
I'm so grateful that you come onto our podcast and let us harass you.
And this is going to be one of the longest podcasts we probably put out, but we got to do it.
We got it.
I just want to say thank you so much for coming on, Amin.
I appreciate you.
I love you.
I think you're amazingly talented.
And anytime you're in New York, please come by and hang out with us.
And a huge thank you to all of our listeners, asshole Army.
Thank you so much for being with us, spreading the word, showing love.
You know what I mean?
We see you on the YouTube videos, commenting.
You know what I mean?
We're out there creeping like a mean, not playing games.
But for real, we appreciate it.
And look, you know that if you're a listener to the show, you know that we got a Patreon episode dropping Friday.
Every Friday, we put an episode out.
You would go get that at patreon.com slash flagrant2.
Unfiltered, unrelenting, the raw, the realest, the craziest, the shit that we absolutely cannot put out on a regular episode because they would try to cancel us in a fucking heartbeat.
And that's what Amin thought he was going to be on, but this wasn't the filtered one.
Anyway, man, come fuck with us over there at patreon.com slash flagrant2, man.
