Okay, so how much do you think Shannon Sharp made over that now famous bank-breaking absolute incredible interview with With Cat Williams.
How?
How much?
Answer, nobody knows.
But, a million?
Easy.
Easy.
And the thing is, nobody really knows.
A couple of points of why I'm even doing this.
First, I loved that interview for so many reasons.
Because Cat Williams, I've got to be honest with you, I mean, I knew who he was.
I thought, okay, he's okay.
I love this guy.
He's a man after my own heart because he's a troublemaker.
He's a rabble rouser.
He's stirring the pot.
I love that.
He's a pot stirrer.
He's a shite stirrer, too.
And he went after everybody.
And he knocked them down from Steve Harvey.
I mean, go down the list.
I love these people.
I think I've made it very, very clear.
Anybody who's a rebel, anybody who comes up, anybody who says, I'm doing things my way, I'm going to say what I want, I'm going to say the truth.
Oh, God.
Especially anybody who destroys the special class, the ruling class, you know, the special, those who are, you know what I'm talking about.
Okay.
Now, Shannon Sharp, the SNL takeoff, skit, spoof, whatever.
I don't know who did it.
SNL was like, I don't even know.
But I did happen to catch this on YouTube.
And whoever did Shannon Sharp was fantastic.
I don't even know.
It might be somebody I know.
Anyway, the over-the-top.
I thought that was funnier.
I thought that was his reaction.
It was beautiful.
I'm telling you, I wish you could just put together all of Shannon Sharpe's reaction.
Oh, come on!
Oh, God!
Oh!
It was like, please, stop it!
I'm going to get arrested!
What a work!
It was wrestling!
It's wrestling!
But here's the most important part.
For the longest time, this, I want people to understand, there are people who are making fortunes, fortunes, fortunes on YouTube.
Now, Mr. Beast, bless your heart, 25 years old, makes about 50 million a year, they say, 35 billion views.
There you go.
Great production.
I'm not even asking, and by the way, if you look at all the, if you look at some of these international Indians, some various spots, you've got billions, bigger numbers that exceed everything.
And you've got these stupid mom-and-pop little news that go, ooh, we had, we had, I mean, the media are over.
This is the world, and there's this virality.
See, when we used to watch TV, look, in my generation, we had three networks.
That's it.
Okay?
And it was great.
And then cable came along.
Cable?
Cable?
What are you talking about?
Who's going to pay money for cable?
They actually said this.
I remember when HBO first came out, people said, you know, you got a great reception.
And for no other reason, you got a great reception.
I'm going to buy it.
What?
You're going to buy it?
Live?
For TV?
What are you, crazy?
Yeah!
And it just blew...
Anyway, so people went crazy.
And then little iterations of stuff.
But you were still kind of stuck in the confines of it.
What's great about YouTube, which is still the monster, the monster.
I know there are others in Rumble and Bitchute and Poop Shoot and all that.
That's great.
But YouTube is still the monster.
Still the, you know, Mac Daddy, OG, whatever you want to call it.
But imagine if all of a sudden HBO said, hey, watch this.
What?
I think you want to watch this one.
Okay.
No, no, watch this.
And if you write in one time, Peach Cobbler.
You're going to get everything a peach cobbler anybody's ever seen before.
And the algorithms are going to say, oh, if you like peach cobbler, then you'll want to know something about vivisection in Paraguay.
What?
Paraguay?
What?
How did you know that?
It's brilliant.
And it creates these things out of nowhere.
And I will never understand.
Why is this guy good and this guy not?
I don't know.
All I know is this is it, and to all my friends, especially when I say, they say, well, what are you doing now?
Are you on TV?
Am I on TV?
What are you talking about?
Well, where can we see you?
YouTube, here, this, what are you doing?
What?
What channel is that?
What channels?
Oh, my God!
This is, this is...
Oh, before I forget, this is the best part.
Okay.
Let me see if I can give you this version of the Shannon Sharpe.
This is the Shannon Sharpe interview.
So then, we tear it in half, and then we take this, and we make a version of the half.
And we tear that in half, and then we do a clip.
Of the quarter, or whatever it is.
You do the math.
And then we do it like this.
And then we do a short.
And then we do a short with music.
And then we do a short with music.
And then you have people who, this is my favorite, people who react.
I don't know how they do this, but they'll react to something.
They'll take your video, your thing, and somebody will say, what?
And they get credit for this because they're reacting?
It's like when these phony baloney, they'll say, for example, normally it's like, you know, hipsters, like urban cats, you know, these two young African-American hipsters react to, you know, Liberace for the first moment or Harry Chapin.
Whoa!
You know, come on.
Have you seen the, what's his name, the Pegasus dude who plays the guitar?
Oh, that's wonderful!
Wonderful!
What?
He's playing.
How did he do that?
Rick Beattle.
Look, we all have our favorites.
But so many levels of this.
Imagine a million bucks.
A million.
And he's going on in perpetuity.
Now, I hope Cat Williams got something for that.
I hope Cat Williams got something.
He made that.
Shannon Sharpe's not going to be able to maintain this momentum.
No way.
No way.
What are you going to do?
It's boring after that.
After that, this was the greatest.
This was like professional wrestling on steroids.
It was beautiful.
That's important.
But this, oh, for God's sakes.
What are you talking about?
It's incredible.
It's absolutely incredible.
And let me just say something.
God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Avenue.
I think Lacey J. Dalton's are the best.
No, God bless the people who are the YouTubers and the platform people from Mr. Beast to this one to that one to, what is it, PewDiePie?
I don't even know what the hell the guy does, but he's...
Monsters!
This is it!
This is the greatest thing in the world.
In my life!
I have been...
I started off in talk radio.
Why am I...
I don't know.
I started on Talk Radio in 1988.
I started before that as a caller.
This was Talk Radio AM.
And I've been through this and see it and it's the greatest now.
It's the greatest.
And YouTube, the platforms, how anybody could ever want to listen to AM radio.
Or cable news?
Fox news?
CNN?
Maybe as a reference.
Did you see how stupid that was?
Other than that.
No, no, no.
YouTube is terrific.
What's your secret guilty pleasure?
I am hooked.
Hooked.
I don't know why.
I'm demented.
On Karen types.
Lunatics getting arrested who turn a nothing into like a four-count felony indictment.
Some woman pulls up.
Hi, ma 'am.
Yeah, Officer Colbert, Largo Sheriff's Office.
Listen, did you know your tail light up?
Here, just sign this and you'll be able to go on your own.
Cost you nothing, haven't I?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Shove it up your right!
I got my right!
Next thing you know, they're tasing her.
She's in a cell.
What?
You should show this every night.
I'm addicted to this.
The body cam stuff.
How about all the Walmart thefts?
How about the people who...
YouTube is the greatest thing I've ever seen and one of the best interviews I will say to this day.
Bar none.
I've watched it a million times since.
It's Cat Williams.
So good for you, Shea Shea, Shannon Sharp, whatever the hell you're...
I think it's your name.
Just phenomenal.
Think about this.
A million bucks.
Boom!
And YouTube's loving it.
Hey, anybody else want more on this?
Come on!
And by the way, a word.
Please, let's keep it open.
Let's keep it safe.
Let's keep...
Let us enjoy the mirth, the merriment.
And sometimes the mendacity, the consumacity of human genius at its finest.
All right, dear friends, what do you think?
What's your favorite, favorite YouTube channel?
Guilty pleasure.
I've got a friend of mine who likes Russian airline disasters.
I didn't even know there was such a thing.
Dash cam videos.
How about Karens?
I love Karens.
I just ring, ringtones.
Who knew?
Who knew I would be mesmerized by people being arrested?
And by the way, parents should show all your kids, watch these videos.
This is how not to act.
Yes, sir, officer.
Thank you, sir.
Have a good day, sir.
Thank you, sir.
You're on your way.
None of this, I know my rights.
Or my favorite is, I'm going to talk to my mother.
Get off it.
Get the hell out of here.
I'm talking to my mother.
You can't stop me.
For what?
For what?
Sir, you're tagged.
I don't know what you're talking.
Why'd you stop me?
I just told you I stopped you.
For what?
Quit asking me for what?
Sir, would you get out of the car?
I'm not going to get out of the car.
I'm going to break your window.
You can't.
I know my rights.
Those sovereign rights people are my favorite.
You can't do that.
Next thing you know, they got the dogs, tasers.
I love it!
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you.
Praise God for YouTube.
All right, dear friends.
Thanks for watching.
