It was a super historic franchise. I mean still isn't super historic franchise, but that's a time It was a blockbuster franchise I don't know how that translates in 2020 Martin was first billing on the first bad boys. That's what people don't know really Martin was the big star. Yeah, probably the first time around Wonder what that probably wonder about a second when it probably was equal. It was well. No, I will is That's sick man. Yeah, I heard this time. There was this discrepancy that it was like will was getting like 15 or Martin was getting like five was six and I'm like that's disrespect Even now come on. You can't monique it. I don't think you got it. I think Martin and will both Culturally have you come together to do a bad boy movie. It's not like will has had a lot of blockbuster hits recently either Yeah, but will still has that like social currency He just got that dough last two years and I just dominated social I mean, so the curse like what currency and I love Martin. I'm a Martin Stan Like love Martin and the reruns of Martin never stopped bro. So Martin's been like relevant for generations I don't know reruns mean you're relevant. Yeah, man kids. Love Martin Yeah, cuz they play kids. Hey, but think about the networks. They're playing on they're playing on like MTV to BT So these are the people that are still watching Martin watch Martin You watch on reruns. So she says she said yeah, and I also grip on fresh friends. Oh, we're gonna say they kid You watch Martin Jillian How would you interesting but this is 22 like they still matter reruns matter, bro Maybe no no meet real is a great money syndication. That's where that's all the money I'm just saying Martin hasn't been in a big pictures recently.   He started He was But I don't know either way, I'm happy to see it. I'm doing the screen in Friday. I'm gonna watch it man That's I love those movies man to the brilliance it listeners If you follow me on like Instagram or something shoot me a DM or I don't know do we have an email? No, well, I want to invite a few of the listeners. It's not a big screening room It's like a 70 people screen room. So it's really like some Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm gonna be there to watch the movie because I want to this is a big deal listeners Because anytime I asked charlman if I can come to a screening. He said there's no seats. That is not true That's what happens every time. I mean for seats. He's like, yo, it's tight The only funny thing is it's high Andrews asked me to come to one movie. Yes. It was black panther.  That's dope now. Where do we start man? How'd you bring in the new year? I was in Anguilla.  They pull out. I don't have no drone Uh-huh. Oh, you know, I was doing that good Say what you couldn't tell it was him.  Where's the white kid?  What did your daddy do to you? Wow This is like the opposite of being black What's that what's going on? Let's go. It's white dad Right Duvall pulled up The homie Tiffany Williams pulled up the homie Candida was out there with her with her husband Lamont and her daughter Like it was fine man. This is good good family of family and friend effect van was there van and van was there sleuth event You know me. It was good. It's always been on the pod man. We gotta check him event.  Okay. Yeah, not not not this week coming but the next week after that. He'll be here We gotta check in on van, but I just I listen as long as I live I want to bring my my New Year's in on the island.   I don't care like, you know what would work I'm not doing it like you got to disconnect and take that time for yourself my New Year's That's how I like to bring in my New Year's it just gives me a different piece of mine, right? It just feels good. You get charged up. You're charged up man. What did you do on that? Why are you? So I went to Africa for the break.  I want to Arabic Africa Arabic. We're moving down slowly. Okay, okay? And so I went to Egypt the French Montana's party French.  It's a gas station. Yeah, but you He was he was side-by-side with it. Oh, this is You gotta slide him some nose, bro So how was it? All right, Egypt is kind of wack outside of the pyramid. Oh the people who built the pyramids could not have been the people who built Cairo Like Really and the pyramids are the most miraculous thing you've ever seen your entire life. No, I mean that was the UFOs That's just I I have a different view on it now. Let's hear it. I'm high up for this, baby I don't think the human progress is linear So I think the way we look at human progress is like Become humans humans learn how to use fire Yeah, right, so we might have been more advanced back in the day and doesn't technology made us dumber now No, no, maybe maybe technology in the major number But maybe what happened is when a generation or like a civilization dies out Now we have all the information from that civilization because we have the internet we have phones We have communication we talk but if you were just by yourself on a patch of land There's very few humans in the world at that time and your civilization thrived and then died No one remembers what tech you had. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you why I kind of agree with that because also when it comes to like genetics Right, we don't know what humans looked like back then. I took a picture of this mummy. Mm-hmm. I have a picture on the phone of the mummy this 12 feet tall. No, no, no, not tall tiny but their heads Their heads our head like here in the back doesn't go back that far if you look at that mummy's head it looks Trying to think of a it looks like it's wearing one of those ski helmets, you know, they kind of go way further back So it's aerodynamic. Yeah, it moves way back another maybe six inches further back Now I'm not showing that they're these early humans were able to like access that part of their brain I don't know your human though. Maybe maybe they're alien that died here. Well, maybe yeah You said it was tiny the head shape I'll get a picture of it.   No miles miles miles look up kilometers I got a high school education night school. I don't exactly know how about commas are either but think about that like it's not like they Just ten miles ten half miles one kilometer ten and a half miles. No, no one So think about it's like it's not like they're just It's not like they're just using the rocks in the area They chose a specific area that was on a plane.  Yeah. Yeah. No, it's possible I mean another thing is like they I don't think that the I don't think that the pyramids were used for the reasons They said and I also think they're way older I don't think they're 4,000 years old because that puts them in biblical times Yeah, and I think like all the biblical people want to be like, yeah, we made them shits. Yeah. Nah, what do you think they were for?  I don't know exactly.  Yeah, so they say it could be that I mean They said it they built them using like water levees and canals all I'm saying is you look at this thing And you sit down there and you realize what?  There is nothing that I shouldn't be able to do if they could figure that out I mean the new pyramids are like Twitter, right the new pyramids are Instagram like we were wondering what the new pyramids are.  They have that social media site in them They have something in them. Yes, that just hasn't been pulled out yet They haven't pulled out of themselves.    I get it. I mean I like even I feel that way I feel small like when I'm like on a boat in the middle of the ocean Yes, and you just looking around and you like looking at this Big body of water and you're looking up at the sky and you just like I'm insignificant. Not only you insignificant, but look how dope all of this is. Yeah, like something created this Yeah, but that something also created you.  I'm just as magnificent as this guy I'm just as magnificent as these trees these these fish that you seen what I'm just as magnificent as all of these things Yeah, you got to act like it.  There's something about going like oh, I did that I can do things I think it's probably what people feel when they first start to lose weight Like they're fat for a while and then they go Ooh, they start to unlock that hidden character that exists within them. I thought you said carrot No, it's like there's definitely not character carrots in there. Yeah, I didn't know you were there under there, buddy Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it was cool to see it was cool to be inspired dope every set like that dope. Yeah, what do you think of? George Lopez's comments about about killing Donald Trump. What do you say? Well, you know, there was this fake story going around that Iranian authorities had an 80 million dollar bounty Right for the killing of the president. That's the first thing we have to address We've told you all this on this radio.  Yeah, when are we going to stop letting the internet dictate our motherfucking thoughts in our actions? Who is actually doing research because when I saw that story first thing I did was Google it to see where the source was Yeah, I couldn't find a reliable source.  Yeah, why do we do that because we want to believe it? What do you always say nobody cares about the truth and the lies will entertain a hundred percent? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so wouldn't you like to believe your people built the pyramids? I think we did I'm just saying like you're no meaning your people Like your people like the Egyptians not like Egyptians that rolled up on these pyramids were like Yeah, we built that um Beyond what you it doesn't matter about the narratives. I think the alien narrative is better It's better because you know, you didn't do it But what if someone what if someone's like, yo, you know Charlemagne, you know aliens actually really put all Charlemagne's genius in his head That's dope. Yeah, you would like that.     This ain't about republicans. This ain't about democrat This ain't about liberal. This ain't about conservative.  What's the joke? I don't understand the joke if there was something clever about doing it. Yeah, absolutely No, I don't think there's no clever way. What's the joke? I don't think there's a clever way to joke about killing the president, bro I don't think it's worth it. I'm not saying it's no. I take it back. I'm not I'm not saying it's not clever I see your wheels turning. Don't that white privilege will not protect you from this. I'm not gonna talk about the current president The secret service will come They're gonna send the men in black for you. Say what? They're gonna send the men in black for you And then put that problem in? Minority's get the secret service. Why people get the men in black? Because what they do the less we gotta forget I'm just saying it's not worth it. He's the president. Yeah, there's not a president in the history of united states of america who didn't get Uh death threats and who people didn't the secret service didn't react to yeah Donald trump got just as many as barack obama.    Okay They're not gonna let it Taylor. Don't worry about something. Taylor. Don't worry. Yo No, no, there was like this iranian.   It's like they forget how history works.  I agree with the smoke got to be worth it If you what is an embassy? There's multiple things the hotels. It's not that cool.  Oh, is that who they attacked? They got one of them in iraq.    I hate all these bad guys because they don't ever have no origin store We started hearing about them. Yeah after we got them and it's like oh, he was a bad guy He did x y and he just said could you lead us up to it? So then maybe we won't feel so you want to know like You want to hold the whole like, uh, what's your uncle bannis killed?  What do you mean?  Like they're not real bad Does it matter like none of this really matters? Do you know what I'm saying?  There are tribes.   It was a sign of strength. It was yo, you're getting a little cute There's a distraction from the impeachment. They were getting They this what people don't want this people have such short memories Do you know if hillary was president? You know how much faster we would have been in iran? Hillary wants to kill everyone in that region. You think she'd have got him already already Look for regardless of how you think about trump. He is an anti-interventionist in policy He's get people out. Let's go. But if you attack an american embassy You have the responsibility to protect americans abroad Yeah, but if you send a message that it's okay to attack an embassy Then other americans that work at the embassies are like what is that is that going to be us? But isn't doing what he did now Contradicting everything he says about pulling people out because now you got to deploy more people You got to put more people in if you come at the king you best not miss and by me king I mean america if you come at the baddest motherfuckers on the planet You better not miss listen. That's the other thing when I tested us. It was it was a it was a test It was like yo y'all been pussy. We've been doing whatever we want. We blew up some saudi oil tankers We we we shot down one of your one of your drones granted the drone shouldn't be on there But it was nothing there was no missiles on the drone or anything like that But we shot down journal They've been they've been going to see how far they could go And they went a little too far at the embassy. They haven't spoken to anybody who said he wasn't a bad guy Yo, yo, he's a bad guy. But this is the most important thing of the whole thing. Where'd they kill him? Iraq, right? Where's he from? All right.  I'ma be honest with you. Why are you in iraq? I'ma be honest with you I have no idea because the only thing I know about iraq is the only thing that separates them is the last letter in the name That's it. It's all ira to me. That's I don't know the difference between iraq and iraq Is why are you in iran? Yeah, it's not like they're cousins. It's not like they're right by each other Oh, they all are cousins. Okay. I mean, they're all coming from the same arabic people. Yeah, of course I'm sure you can trace them all back to like Tribal stuff. So he can't be in iraq. Say again. He's not supposed to be in iraq Why are you in iraq if you're not up to some nefarious shit? You're supposed to be in iran. It could be pussy. It could be food. Like we why are we just assuming this man's up to no good Persian girls are bad, bro They got plenty of good-looking women in iran, dude. You stay in iran if you want good-looking women And I heard they got him at the airport. What you mean? I heard was it an airport? They keep him on at the airport. No, I heard they got him at the airport when they took him out No, they were driving. They were driving. Yeah. Yeah, they were driving on things. It was a sign of strength It was a drone, right? It was a drone. This is what it was.  We'll take down your number one commander like that and not a single american American troop will be deployed, but literally like that So it's a message. They figured out how to not how to keep drones from working in those regions The only reason I say that because when duval was in anguilla, we were staying at this one And they wouldn't allow the drone. The drone wouldn't move. Yeah, because we invented technology That's how okay, and the guy was like well, it's too close to the airport It's like how do they make fake jordans because the same motherfuckers that make the real ones make the fake ones? They got the codes, you know what I mean?    I want to ask you a question I just want to ask you a simple question because everybody thinks andrew the trump supporter What do you think about this situation? Chris come over here because the camera's behind you I don't even really have to see Chris Yeah, but he's got a much better voice than face.  It was absolute shock.  I think there is More than just to show a strength. I don't think the attack on the embassy was that big a deal in the scope of What's happening in the Middle East? Um I think Saudi Arabia and israel are probably playing a much larger role in this decision Being discussed It is true iran's been like incredibly aggressive In terms of iraq in particular like so you gotta understand that the iranians are shiai muslims. Yes Saudis are suni Are suni and when Saddam Hussein was in charge of iraq. It was a suni No, no, he was suni. But what was iraq? There was a shiai minority But what was iraq when he was in charge?  Oh Kurds, but if you were muslims you were suni everybody was protected right so when he When he was taken out that opened up an incredibly volatile situation and basically it's still playing out now Where iran you gotta remember iraq and iran were in a bloody terrible war for like 15 years I mean it was a horrific war one of the worst in world history like really terrible But now iran has been asserting more and more influence over iraq to the point where it's A lot of people especially americans in israel see them as essentially running iraq right now, right? So I think that's largely what this was about which was trying to give them a lot of pushback In iraq.  If you look if you look at iran 100 over the last year. You take one american life You got to go. Wow simple as that. What do you mean? Ah What does that mean? I mean mcdonald's kills way more people in america than this guy wanted to nuke mcdonald's But i'm just saying like no, no, but is mcdonald not giving you a choice whether or not to eat mcdonald's Or you make a choice to walk into mcdonald's and feed your fat self that we have that choice But we also have you don't have a choice when you could say what's this guy doing in iran? He was up to nefarious stuff.  Guess what nefarious?  What happens? They're not gonna leave They're not gonna leave. Hmm. Here's my this is my bigger concern outside of you know why they did that Because they're being bribed by the iranians the iranians are bribing all the tribal leaders in the iraq area, right? To who this is tribal territory people don't understand like what like iraq is iraq is not like you're going to Chicago or new york city. We're talking about like very I don't understand the right word like very primitive levels of living We're talking about like like i had a buddy of mine who was uh had a marine troop there He was in a nation building for like and like he had to introduce the idea of garbage cans Like we're talking about like very simple levels of life here, you know, I mean new york doesn't have garbage cans every corner A lot of these trash on the street Good Everywhere come back to that regular life with us man york is numbers trash on the street everywhere. Well, we got a lot of shit to throw out I guess I guess one point is it's like it is It is a very tricky situation For sure absolutely and i'm not saying that americas are the good guys in terms of what our middle east policy is Right, but iran definitely is not No, but my concern outside of whatever sort of retaliation ends up happening because obviously if they retaliate new york or la That's going to be another story. That's the scariest.   They they No, i'm not going to ever be that cocky. I'm gonna tell you why we've never had a president this branded Meaning that they don't have to strike. Did you see what they did they shot some missiles up in the air You know why nobody got that little fireworks. You know why nobody got killed. Why is that because uh iraqi Soldiers tipped the u.s. Soldiers that were in that base and I and I know that because I got a guy who's got people over There was minimal damage to the base They didn't even damage the base. It was a fake sign of strength.  Hold me back. What would have happened if they hadn't gotten tipped off? Say again Nothing, I don't believe it.  We'll turn their whole country to a parking lot.  They're willing to die. No, they not. They do giha.  You really forget. We are the one that knocks, bro Yeah, but you remember 9 11 say what you forget 9 11. What about I forget it? I was here That's what I'm saying. So we can't get too cocky and think things like that can't happen No, that's all I'm saying a hundred percent things like that can happen I'm not saying they cannot happen. But what I'm saying is when they do happen We are the craziest people on the planet. Is it worth it though? We think that russians are But is it worth it? Is it worth losing all those american lives?   I might get deployed And she like 25 years old and then when you see these soldiers talking about you I know that shit's all fun and games 25 years old and she's been in the army for 10 years We're not 25. She's like which army is she in ices? No, she's like 27 28 I think 28 she's been in it. It'll be 10 years in a year and a half. So whatever that is So but then when you see these people talking online and they're like, yo, um, it's all fun and games Which oh, we might die It's those of us who aren't coming back like it's easy for us to talk in that cocky on the radio and on podcasts and like America Is America that we ain't on the front lines 100%? You're on the front line If you're in New York City, you're on the front line. No, no, we are the front line No, no, no as long as you stay away from trump towers, you're fine. That's that's what that's what they said But but but George Bush didn't have no no branding Trump got branded if you really want to make a statement for trump, you can like What is america's branding? What do you mean? What is our branding? That's new york, baby.  All right. Look all I'm saying is as new yorkers. We are on the front line. It's not like we not And we have been here. We've seen every armageddon movie in the world in new york is always the first It's never amongst corner. You know what I mean?  That's the place we try to drive to And also new yorkers Let's be real about this.  Yeah, man Like it's a plot for Atlantic Avenue one say what Atlantic Avenue.  Yeah, that's yeah, I've always heard that about the train Who's gonna blow it up?  I'm not sleeping on nothing I want you to be right.  He was just having a rough day Now your food You also got the guys in the prison who want to buttfuck you just for the sake of buttfucking. You know who does the buttfucking You know who does the buttfucking Whoa, you just find jesus christ taylor. What was that?   Is the guy getting this guy beating you up. I saw you on a I saw you on a yacht I saw you on a yacht Taylor if a man is hitting you you let us know If a man's hitting me y'all know that i'll be in jail, right? Why because i'm gonna kill him. No, you be knocked out. What are you talking about? Yeah, you were killing it Like a curly ensue. What is that point?  Moe curly. What was that? What was those guys called the three stuptures? We need that sound doesn't hurt. No, I can see clear All right, the moral of the story is george lopez was wrong.    That wasn't comedy though. Say what that wasn't comedy and by the way I agree. If there's no joke, we'll do it for half. But why would you want to bring on like heat to your people?    He's like you absolutely Absolutely reinforced the narrative about mexican people and didn't even mean to every mexican stereotype. What did trump say?  We'll do it for half, bro Trump is right. Come on george, george. George, we better walk right into that one, bro Don't let your emotions get better. Get the breath. Say you're not doing it for any less than $15 an hour Jesus Christ my god Jesus Christ See george.  I'm sure you're familiar with him by now Yo, george is an og. I love george. It'd be a nice little twitter beef to get I love george. I love george. I love george, but be honest george.  Let's be honest By the way, none of us are in this situation In a situation like this there is literally nothing we can do but pray and hope for the best And if you're not and if you're an atheist all you can do is hope for the best That's it. That's it. Yeah, what do you do in this situation when you're an atheist? You just you keep going about your life. You drink your starbucks. You drink your water because by the way Are you pointing at me like I'm an atheist? I'm just saying if a bomb drops right now I'm just saying Whoa, what we just got coughed up right there if a bomb drops on this building right now.  Listen, taylor looks like it already got dropped on this building You look like you're going through like that's my yo, I'm I'm I'm 41 years old I got about 40 more summers left.    Did you see I hope this where it is. Did you see Colin Kaepernick statement? No, what do you say more Colin man? He goes, uh, he goes uh when uh, let's read it verbatim. Yeah read it verbatim So we didn't get it wrong. We can't we don't want to take this is a perfect example of like you just do the research Just do the research. You don't grab anything that fits into your narrative. You just don't listen. I didn't see what he said I was gone. I think it was on instagram. I was an anguilla, but he said it's another example of what is it? There's nothing new about american terrorist attacks against black and brown people for the expansion of american imperialism Right american has always sang sanction and besieged black and brown bodies both at home and abroad american material Militarism is the weapon wielded by american imperialism to enforce its policing and plundering of the non-white world. What's the problem? um Do you know what kaseem salamani did for a living the guy who they killed? Never heard of him. So he got killed.   He was a brown guy who was oppressing other brown other brown people Sounds like a great point to me. I don't know. Let's pay some bills, man.

I'll be honest with you. I feel guilty that I didn't earlier. I feel like I feel like I should have done it. It's one of my great regrets in life.  I believe in this. That's dope. My dad was in the army. Oh, I didn't know that. 100%. Okay. Yeah. He upped his own draft card. That means he drafted and he said, I'll come even earlier. You need me now? Wow. Now wait a minute. What was he doing? Nothing. Exactly. I need some context. It sounds way more heroic when you leave something behind.  No, but he had college education, which at the time was like, I mean, my dad's old. He's 75 years old.  You know what I mean? But he upped his draft card and he asked to be sent over. They didn't send him over. They had him in an intelligence base. Really? In Baltimore. And he asked, they asked to be sent over and they wouldn't send him over. And he's like, I'll go over in any capacity. I'll take pictures. I'll do whatever it is. But he felt like that was the war of his generation. And he wanted to know the truth. He wanted to know what was really going on over there. And his feeling was like, regardless of if you agreed with the war or not, he saw a lot of people having like anti-soldier sentiment. Like there are a lot of like people cursing at soldiers when they would arrive because they didn't agree with like the American imperialism of the war. And his feeling was like, you might not agree with like the decision to be there. You might not agree with the people who are making decisions to put us there. That's fine. But you can't ever talk about someone who's willing to risk their life for your safety. You can't, man. Nah, man.   Like it's people that's like really terrified. Like, I'm getting deployed.   You got to also understand though, there are people that are terrified. There are people who cannot wait. They're soldiers. That's about that action. They are about that action. They are, yeah, let's go. Beast mode. Let's go. Cannot wait.   When you're going up against America, you're going up against a highly trained war machine.  No, what he said?  This guy goes, I'll put it right here. He goes, he goes, but if you want war with the United States of America, there's one thing I can promise you. So help me God. Someone else will raise your sons and daughters.  I could have left God out of that one. We know you got the nukes. That's a hard line. Son, that's a bomb. You might have to take that to the street.  Somebody else going to raise your sons and your daughters. I feel like I'm trying to get that to happen now. That should sound as hard as Poc. When Poc said, when Poc said my 4-4 makes sure all your kids don't grow. Jesus Christ. At least they're not going to kill the kids though. Taylor's eyes look crazy.  That's what happens when I do a real talk.  I want you to show, no, show me your eyes first. Please show your eyes. Taylor, you owe it to the listeners. Please. Taylor, you owe it to the listeners. Maybe somebody has a remedy that they can give you. You never know. You got to take smaller d's, yo.   She's been like, I want to say something. I need to say something somewhere. I need to say something. What if that happened?   It does for you. It does.   That's just kind of hot. Let me see. I know what you're doing. I'm being honest. I'm being totally honest. Like white eyeballs look kind of whack on you, yo. It's true. I'm sitting, yo, Taylor. I'm not even lying to you. Red eyeballs look kind of dope on you. It does. It gives you like an X-man fight type of vibe. Like you might be a movie. Phoenix. Scarlet Witch. Yeah. Oh, that's who had the red eyes.  Oh, you want me to show my Christmas gift that I got, Envy?  Cheeks.  I got this for Envy. I took it over to Elvis because Elvis saw it yesterday. He wanted to see it.   Is that an exact replica?  It's just a reimagining. It's heavy, dude.  Act like you did it before.    Shoes is ready. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I got a message. I got a message for you, Ron. It's a bunch of Iranians hiding in caves right now. You can hide. What is it? You can run, but you can't. You can run, but you can't hide. See, I had to get the balls because I didn't want it to be gender fluid. Right. I wanted people to know exactly what it was. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I wanted, I didn't want it to be binary. Is that the word that I used the correct word? Say what? I didn't want it to be binary. Gender binary? Yeah. I wanted you to know exactly what it was. Well, you just have balls. Technically, you don't have a vagina. So what's gender? What's binary? I thought binary meant like you didn't have to be nothing. I thought binaries you like dudes and bitches. Oh, I don't know. No, that's bi. Binary. Is it bi short for binary? No, bi short for bisexual. Binary is, look up binary, Taylor. I think binary means like there's no gender attached to it. That's why I made sure to get the balls because if there was no ball. Bro, you done did a good job.  That's a good point you got right. We need a Haitian to like make this a voodoo doll. I think Amethi did it yesterday. Amethi's Haitian. Did you feel it?  Bro, this is how Taylor's eyes turn red. Taylor, that's what happened? No. Listen, I think this is a great Christmas gift, bro. Right. Weird looking into your butthole, dude. It's not actually my butthole.  That's why when Envy asked me, said, are those balls? I said, if you want them to be, because you may not want them to be balls. You may want them to be something else. What, like, uh, like labia or something?  Whoever that was just now was like, I absolutely came to the wrong room. What if you, what if you walked into the breakfast club? Right? What if you walked into the breakfast club? And you just saw Envy behind it pumping away. Could you come to work that day? Well, first of all, um, you saw that white flaky stuff that was on there? Yeah. It wasn't on there yesterday. Okay. Gender binary is the classification of gender into two distinct opposite and disconnected forms of masculine and feminine. I don't know.  Okay.  All right. And I don't know why. I realized how homophobic people are over the past few months. Motherfuckers are very homophobic. Keep talking. I'm going to act as if it's your butthole saying all these. Okay. I realized how homophobic people are over the past few months.    Why would they ever think such a thing? Scream something.  Dude, we got buffets. I think this is the perfect gift to, uh, to finally rid the world of fragile and toxic masculinity. Um, you know how you got the Chanel love bracelet? That's cute and all. But now you can get a mold made of your butt. Right. Give it to one of your guy homies. Yes.  That's beautiful. I love it. And do you have to use it first? No, you don't have to use it. It's just, it's just a sign of respect. Is your hair coming back in a little? I hope not. It might be the PRP shots might have started to jump affecting late. Okay. But it's just like, yo, it's like a sign of respect. This is the new Apollo log. Ah, you gotta rub. Motherfucker. You, I don't think you should rub it though. What do you do? Slap it? We men smack that motherfucker, man. Rub me. Don't let him rub me. Don't let him rub me.   She's with the Doc Johnson though. That was a great gift. And I told NB I was going to get that form.  I just told him I was going to get him that for a Christmas gift and Doc sent it over. I like people that execute. Yes. He heard me say that in the interviews. Yes. And then he said, you really want that? I said, yes. And I think that's a great gift to give somebody. I can't even look at Taylor. Why? Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yo, Jess complimented me. And now you're like, oh no, I don't like it. Yo, Taylor be so jealous. No, because you're so beautiful.  That's intimidating. Yo, Taylor saw those cheeks and she was like, that's really your ass? I said, why? I'm more fatter than yours, right? She was so jealous. You got tight, didn't you? She's already jealous that my hips are bigger than hers.  Yo, Taylor's competitive, bro. Yo, Taylor, do you think you've got with Charlemagne Cotton? Yes, I have more. No. No, you don't. No, you don't. You couldn't get a more like that. No. What are you talking about? You're more wind-set-up like that. You can feel that.   You got to get down. Get down right. I'm telling you, get down right here.  Look at it from sea level. Wow, from sea level is different, bro.    Yeah, you can't. Yeah, you can't. You might have to just tap out of that. Yeah, don't. I hate to start off 2020 like this, right? But imagine you walk into a room and you see something laid out in the pan. You're like, damn, that shit's right.  Whoa, bro!  Yeah, the ball's really... Touch the ball, Taylor. Did you touch him? Right there. Okay. Did you touch the ball shorts? Yeah, I touched them. All right, it's good. It's nice. Thank you for your name?   He did? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What did he do? That was the ill part about it.  Envy took lotion, rubbed lotion on it.  How deep does it go? Find out.  Hold on. Find out.   You could take some meat, dawg. Hold on.   But now you gotta do this. If you really want it.  Jesus Christ.  I don't know, dawg.   Nobody will put the engineer ticket in for me, because you know, when you're here in a corporate environment, you gotta put the engineer ticket in. They say you need something mounted on the wall. You gotta say what it is, maybe put a picture of it. Nobody will write the ticket up for me, right? I'm serious. I just want to write the ticket up and say, yo, this is what I need mounted on the wall. I think that you deserve to get it. Say again. What's the solution? Just mount it. Oh, they all going to mount it for me. Yeah. Oh, that's beautiful. See, that's why I love working in a corporate environment.  I'm like, bro, you realize this is radio? Yeah.  It's not what you do for a living. Yeah. You know what I mean? No disrespect to everybody out there with a corporate job.  That's all. That's it. It's not like I mailed it to somebody anonymously. You know what I'm saying?  And a happy cheek year. It was fucking, I gave it to my male co-worker on the air. Yeah. And I think it was a great gift. It's content. And it's a, Elvis Durant said the best thing this morning. Yeah. That's a very thoughtful gift. You don't think I'm thoughtful? Yeah, I think it's thoughtful. I'm thoughtful. Because you listened. You listened to what he said.   So you want to give him something to take with him when you're not around? Boom. I think that's, yeah, I really, I think it's great. Envy's dad text him and said, Charlamagne's gay, there's no two ways about it. Pop it. Envy, yes, there is two ways about it. It can be two ways. All right. That's number one. Number two, if I'm gay, what is your son? For liking your asshole? Yes. Yeah. He put lotion on it and put his finger deep in it and it smelt his finger. I respect that because that's even much for me. I'm not going to even have a sip of my water after that. I like the differences in humor, bro. I do like the fact that, yes, that's true. I do like the fact that white people can play like that. And you know what?  It's the best.  It's the best. It's just fun. Amen. White is just fun. It's the best. Y'all don't have a cultural appropriation on cheeks? None. None. Did you see Kevin Hart special? No. But I heard it was really good. People are hitting me about this. His reality show? Yeah, the reality show. Did you hear about it? I just heard it was good and he was a lot of love for his team and they're like, yeah, people just hit me up and they're like, they thought I would really like it. Did you hate it or what? No, I actually enjoyed it. I watched the whole thing on vacation. Kevin is a very interesting person, man. I think that we don't appreciate Kevin because of the air that we live in because we really don't appreciate nothing. Like it's a lot of goatness going around that we don't really appreciate because I don't know if it's because of social media and the fact that everybody feels like they're so close to people or... I don't know if it's the fact that... I was thinking about it. I was talking about this over the break. I was like, yo, it's the fact that I know Kev and I've known Kev for a while. You know what I'm saying? When you really... The inspiration hits different when you've witnessed the grind early. When you've seen...  But I knew him when he was in the process of building himself back up. You know what I'm saying? That's when I was doing radio with Wendy and Philly and all of these things like that. So the inspiration hits different when you see it from the ground up. So I wonder even with me, do I not appreciate it sometime because I know these people? You understand what I'm saying? Yeah, I wonder if it's about appreciation or...  Isn't there part of you that's kind of like... Are the cheeks distracting you? No. Okay, okay. Just make it sure. No, there's part of you that's like fascinated that now it's our turn. Yeah. In other words, this weekend I saw two comics that I started with kind of like my generation of comics. One of which was here and did this podcast but we did Girl Code with Her. And another just a stand-up who's a colleague. Get Golden Globe Awards. Who's the other one? I know Aquafina was one. Who's the other one? Rami. Rami Yusef for his show Rami on Hulu. Oh, okay. And I don't know him but... Yeah, he won Best I Think Male Actor and for a TV series or something. Yeah, I mean Aquafina, man. Aquafina has been on Brandinia's podcast. Exactly. So it's like, and these are people that are our generation and now they're winning these awards. That's our generation. We've worked with them. Friends. We worked on Girl Code. We worked on Girl Code. I've done Aquafina which Aquafina needs to do our show called The Talk. Yeah, I did that with her. Like, Aquafina was on Brandinia's podcast. The podcast was called A Tribe Called Queef. Yeah.  Like, we know her. Like, that's homie. And then, you know, I've always applauded her when I see her in certain movies. You know, I'll retweet a post and be like, y'all, it really is dope watching the homie shine. But that Golden Globe, she had hit a little different, bro. It's different. Like, I mean, I don't really care about award shows and that kind of stuff but it is a symbol of, like, our generation has reached the position where these awards are going out to us. Like, we spent our whole lives looking up at, like, Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Yeah. You know what I mean?  Like, all these guys, they're, like, winning these awards. And then, all of a sudden, we've become the generation of people to do these things.  Aquafina was on YouTube rapping. Yeah. And she had a song called My Badge. Like, she was a rapper. Like, and that part laid into, you know, the looks on girl code. I mean, I don't know. I know that. I know she was on the internet. I don't know what came before girl code but I know that's when I started seeing her when she was on girl code. And I was like, oh, Aquafina the rapper. And then that's when we, you know, developed a rapport.  When Kev fell off and Soul Plane wasn't working and fucking, you know, the sitcom on NBCFL, he took it back to the streets and started getting on that motherfucking stage. And he was going to people in the audience saying, yo, let me get your email. Let me get your email. Let me get your email.  So when I watched that special, I'm like, yo, Kev is a business, man. Like a heartbeat, heartbeat productions like Kevin Hart is an enterprise in a real, real way. I only had a problem with one episode. Which one? What was it? I haven't seen it yet. So I can't say. Well, me and my, you know, he was watching it with my wife. And I think it was the third episode when Kev allegedly got caught cheating. I don't, I still don't think it was him in that video. Which one? The video where he was like, it allegedly somebody that looked like him was in a room, whoever the man was, clearly was drugged out of his mind. Somebody was clearly taking advantage of him. That video, you remember that video? I don't even know who that guy was in that video. But the thing about that, the thing about that episode was so wild was Kev was like, I don't even know who that guy was in that video. I don't even know who that guy was in that video. I don't even know who that guy was in that video. Was, you know, Kev was like, yo, if I have my boys with me, that would have happened. I think that you have to have a certain level of accountability. You know what I'm saying? I think he was trying to throw a bone to his boys, probably. You can't put that on your boys. Yeah. That's it. You just can't. The guy who allegedly set Kev up wanted Kev's ex-friends totally foul. But you really can't even put that on him. You know what I'm saying? Like in certain moments, in certain situations like that, if that was Kev on that video. Who did it? Who set him up? I forgot to do his name. One of Kev's old buddies. I didn't want to say his name. They didn't say it. Fucking, that's your white side. Just speaking out of turn. Snitching, bro. Snitching. Giving him information for no goddamn reason.  But they didn't mention. Giving us whites a bad name. They didn't mention his name in the Netflix special at all.  You know what I mean? That could be the wife talking. You know what I'm saying? Because he did have me in that episode when I'm talking to Gary. Oh, you were in it? Well, it's a clip from the breakfast club when I'm talking to Gary. And I'm like, yo, I was talking to Kev.  You know what I mean? So he kept that in. And I also love this about Kev. He's not afraid to be transparent. He's not trying to be perfect. And what's a transparent? What? Is that another one? Is that when you pretend you got kids but you don't got kids? What's going on, man? What's going on, bro? You could just be a parent without having kids now. You was born a single mom, all right? But now you identify as a goddamn parent, all right? You don't have any kids of your own. No biological kids. Come on, bro. But now you identify as a mother of five. It's hard to get this baby weight off. I just can't get this baby weight off.  I'm wacky. You ain't no parent? Oh my god. Bro, you gotta write that down. That's gotta be one of his best ones, bro. My god. But he's not afraid to be transparent. Right. He's not, though. He don't be trying to be perfect. He's not afraid to put his flaws out there.  And he leaves you to be able to make your own decisions. And I gotta respect that. It's just something about that that's so dope to me, man. And Kev could have been the guy who went to Squeaky Clean, you know what I'm saying?  And I respect it. So I enjoyed the stand-up special. Because it's not a life. It's not a life doing that. Because when you're Squeaky Clean, it was documentary or whatever it was, or series, whatever. But like when you're Squeaky Clean, you're basically putting yourself out there to be torn down. And when you say, of course, of course, 100%. There's a lot of people, right?  So, but when you're dirty, when you're in the mud, like the rest of us, what you gonna do, throw mud on me? I made a mud. He's done Squeaky Clean movies, but his stand-up's always been pretty clean. I mean, he got in trouble with, for some of his stand-up, right?  But in other words, like exposing himself like this. And even anytime you see him like in like radio or talk shows, he's pretty like candid. I've never seen him not be candid. No, he's very open. And I love the last episode.  You know what I'm saying? Like it showed the PR people trying to do damage control. Really?  I'm not doing that.  Like I'm not going out here and being fake. Like I'm not going to do all of these. I'm not going to jump through these hoops that y'all want me to jump through. I apologize in the way I felt like was sincere. And that was that. And he stood by that. And you realize that he realized a lot of the error in his ways. And you see some of the things that he's been doing in order to advance people in that community. You know what I'm saying? Like the young lady on his team who is part of the LGBT community. She's one of his top executives. And she spoke about how a lot of the projects that they have on the table now, they wouldn't have had on the table prior to this situation. Because Kev understands the need for inclusion and diversity. And I respected that. You know what I'm saying? I thought, because I think it's too much rhetoric nowadays. What do you mean? Meaning like I like results over rhetoric. Or it's too much rhetoric. Results over rhetoric. It's too many motherfuckers talking. Talking about what they're going to do.  But who's actually out there putting in the work and really like doing actionable items that can benefit people. Marginalized communities, oppressed communities, whoever. Like so I respect the fact that he's actually just out there putting his best full forward. So I thought it was dope. And going back to what you said about Agrafina, it was two things. Like that's why I love the new year. Because the new year is when you start, it's when all the new money come in. And all the deals that were about to close at the end of the fourth quarter, they close and then they get announced top of the year. Like I love it. And so it's like when Amanda Seales got announced as the new, the new host of The Real. Right? Real. What's The Real? The Real is the daytime talk show. That's someone, I think it's syndicated. I don't know exactly what, I think it's on Fox. But she got named as the fifth host. You know, they haven't had a fifth host since Tamar Braxton. So she's the new host. And the reason I thought that was so dope is because it shows that like literally nothing can stop the plan or the destiny that God has for you.  How many times people try to cancel you on social media? Okay. How many times people on social media act like they don't like you?  All you're doing is helping the creatives. All you're doing is helping the disruptors. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Did they try to cancel Amanda? They've tried to cancel Amanda a million times. Right. Right.   She was doing her YouTube TV shows. She was motherfucking on Instacure. It landed her the HBO special this year. She ended up on NBC's Bring the Funny. She put out her book. Now she's one of the permanent co-hosts on The Real.  And these are all people. The one thing all these people I haven't comment, everybody I've been from, from Agrafina to Kevin, the Amanda Seals, they all carved out their own lane. And the industry eventually had to come to them. Yeah. I mean, that's what you got to do. You got to carve out your own lane. And at the end of the day, the people will decide. The only thing, the only people who can really cancel you are the people. In yourself. Yeah. In yourself.  If people don't want to watch you, if people don't want to see you, they won't. And then it's over for you. Like, you know, already laying. You know who already laying is? Of course. So like, already laying has been in and out of rehab.  He's no worse enemy. Of course. And he'll probably admit that. But the people love already so much. Because of Howard. Because of Howard. I'm not going to say because of Howard. Howard exposed him. Howard gave him the platform for many, many years.  So funny. So I think what he's a perfect example. It's like, if he didn't have that connection with the people, nobody would take a chance on him anymore. But the fact that he has the people and they can't wait to hear him, then he can start a podcast. The second he gets out of a halfway house or something like that. Does he still have that connection though? 100%. They got to do shows. It's like, it's deep with him.  Yeah. And that Howard Stern connection is so deep. Because Howard built such a cult like following.  You know what I'm saying? Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.  You know what I mean?  Facts. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I get it.

You said what? Yo, what was the did? Do you care about that? I don't care about it at all. They're both 50 years old. What are we arguing on Instagram? Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Instagram beefing? French is my guy. I meant to Google how old French was because I hate when like God that are close to 40 keep using that young card. Close to 40. He's got to be close to 50. Nah, not French. Come on. Huh? He's not younger than me. French is 35. He's younger than me. So French is 35. He keeps calling 50 a dinosaur. How old is 50? Like he's 44. French is younger than me. Yeah, if you were in the same decade window with somebody, you can't call them a dinosaur. French is 35. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Where are you looking this up at? Google lies. Look up my net worth. Come with us to Andrew Worth. Oh, they had me early like guy code days. They had me like seven million. I was like, what? Balling. I was like MTV, we need to talk. Where is money going? That's what they said. An estimated three. Go ahead. So see that's estimated. Yeah, I didn't care because you know what? I didn't care. I just don't be caring about. I don't be caring about rich people problem. Like you're arguing over a Bugatti, like whether it's used at least the streaming thing. That was it. He was caught faking streams. That's a little closer to the ground for me. You know what I'm saying? Because I hear a lot of artists complain about that, not just from French, but just in general. They say that about Cole, right? They say like Cole's army of fans will just leave the album playing throughout the night or something like that. I was shocked to see that they had the top streaming artists of the past decade and Cole was last on the list. I mean, out of everybody that was the highest screened people like Cole was like he screamed like 21 million records. I thought that was like really. I thought it was way more than that. I think that he has diehard fans, but he don't have all the fans. Like I don't think some casual is going to go. Let's listen to some Cole.  Yeah, he's definitely got the Cole like following.  But everybody listen to Drake. My mom listens to Drake. But look at all the different genres of music Drake delves into.  He do goddamn Afro beats. You know what I'm saying? Oh. Mine, mine, mine, mine. Put them things on, push play. It's too Irish. Too Irish. OK. Me don't want, me don't want no Champagne poppy. Yeah. You sound like Champagne McGregor. Fuck. How do I get more? How do I get more Jamaican with it? I don't know. I always resort to the Gichi accent. You know what I mean? Like from Charleston, you know, you like boy in Charleston. So it's kind of like, no, I ain't no gulley and patois different. Ain't the same. Yeah. That's way different. Yeah. It ain't the same. It's not the same. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, Jamaican. Jamaican. Jamaican. You sound like Golden Crust, bro. Sorry. Now you sound like a Golden Crust commercial, bro.  Don't let Golden Crust. You don't like a beef patty from God. Hell no.  You don't just fix your mouth to talk about me beef patty.  I hate it. Yo, shout out to everybody. The ox tail and stewed peas. Everybody in T-neck. Some rice. Everybody in T-neck in Jersey. And a weird Snapple. It's the script in T-neck where you got like. It's not the real Snapple, but it kind of tastes like Snapple tropical fantasy. We call it. Listen, you got the in T. You ever been to T-neck, New Jersey? You've been to T-neck, New Jersey, right? I've been to T-neck. I've been to T-ball. You remember where I used to live? Yes. Around all the Jewish people? No. Me no no no Jews. A couple. Me no no no Jews. But they're kind of similar to the Rastafari. But up the street. The Jews no shave the side of their heads. What? They got the twisty things kind of like the dreadlock. They got the twisty things like the dreadlock. Are you Jamaican doing it? Of course he's Jamaican. I would have never guessed. Look, he's late every single day. He's got to be Jamaican. He's got 15 jobs. He's got to be Jamaican. His name is Dwin. Dwin. What? That's how he said. Cause Jamaican's the angry people. Rascals. No, they're not. They're actually some happy people. No, I think we smoke so much marijuana. They're too happy. We need that. Yo, you going in and out of like four-leaf clothing, bro. Like you're going back and forth between motherfucking curry and four-leaf clothing. My name is Donovan Markantire.  Put it on it. Me want a Guinness and a Red Stripe mix together. Me no playing with y'all. Me no playing. Put that dumpling on my plate. Yo, Jamaican's thought might be fine though. Jamaica. Jamaican's stout. More fire. More fire. Guinness and Red Stripe mix might be kind of fine, bro. Shut me up, you can't stop. More fire. More barley. But no, there's this strip in T-neck, New Jersey. It's a great Jamaican restaurant called Island Spice, another great Jamaican restaurant called Rugged Kitchen, another Jamaican restaurant, and then it's like a golden crust. And golden crust be packed. Packed.   Me no want to hear it, Charlamagne. Yo. Me no want to hear it, Charlamagne. But Jamaican now has to be funny. Bobo Marley?  Bobo Marley. We might have to have a recurring Bobo Marley character, bro. I shot the leprechaun. But men don't touch other men's boo-hoo-tee. What? Because they're homophobic in Jamaica. Oh, gotcha. Ta-da! Grass-clothed body boy. Boom-bye-bye. Boom-bye-bye.  Oh, did you see the drink? Did you see the drink? Missile term memory is not good. It's not. We was talking about the drink. Did you see the drink if you want to rap right off? Missile to team. You ain't watched that. There's no way Andrew Schoes watched that whole two hours ago. Missile to team with Elliot and B-dot. Really? Me like a B-dot. I thoroughly enjoyed that interview. Me like an Elliot. I thoroughly enjoyed that interview. Elliot and Pailer and Pailer. Elliot looked like the toast before you put it in a toaster.  But you let that butter get in the center and melt. And it's that yellow circle right in the middle of the bread. That's what YN looks like. Me getting horny. Don't be saying H's, bro. Me getting horny right now. That you're making no H, bro. You cut that H out. What is it? Me getting ani. Me ani. Put the butter on the toast, Charlie. Me ani. Put the butter on the toast. Keep describing it. Charlie, keep describing the butter on the toast. Is it Milton? Is it Milton? Because you got to be ready to heal to it any point in time. Any time, bro. You got to be ready to heal to it. You got to be ready to heal to it. You got to be healed to it. You got to be secure to cut that, because that's Sandy's heart. That's Sandy's heart. Charlie, man. That's Sandy's, hey, hey. That's Sandy's heart. Bob O'Marley. Listen. Dara's clap. I enjoyed the interview, though, man. I want to, I do want to. Me don't want to look at your butthole in Pables. I do want to, you what? Me don't want to look at your butthole in Pables. Butthole in what? Pables. What do you mean in Pables? The Pables for the Bonds. But no, shout out to B. Dot and Elliott, man. Okay, what's your think about the interview? I thought it was great journalism. I think that's where Elliott and B. Dot shine. Elliott is an OG who's been in the game like four decades. And his background is a journalist for magazines. I think it really plays well. When he's sitting down doing interviews, you know what I'm saying? He used to be editing Chief of XXL. He used to be a, I don't know what exactly his role was at the source magazine, but I just think he's really good at hip hop journalism. You know what I'm saying? And I think B. Dot, when you add B. Dot into the mix, you know, B. Dot is good at interviewing. He's good at having a conversation, but he's also good at just asking the questions that I'd be wanting answers to. You know what I'm saying? So it's nothing like salacious, you know what I'm saying? Right. It ain't going to be nothing like. Correct. Aggressive, you know what I mean? As far as the artist, like the artist can really just sit down there and kick it. And I think that in this era of, which I'm sure that I've had a lot to do it, in this era of where you think that you, an artist got a while out or spaz out or say something crazy, I think that we forget that sometimes this good old fashion hip hop journalism is dope. And I think for artists like Drake, that was the perfect place to go sit down, you know? And I thought they did a great interview. I only had like. I like those guys. I did watch some, I did watch some clips on it. I watched, I watched. I didn't watch the whole thing. I watched my rap radar interviews. Yeah. I like my four of my favorite interviews of the past three years have been rap radar. The Jay-Z. I like them here. We got to have them back on. Oh, we had that conversation. They were excellent. I really like them. The Jay-Z interview, the Will Smith interview, the interview with DRock and the Nipsey Hussle interview are four of my favorite interviews of the past years. If I had to rank a top 10 in the past two years, probably three, maybe four, those four would definitely be in my top 10. You know what I'm saying? That makes up a healthy bulk of the top 10.  I thought they did a great job. I only had like one follow-up question. The only thing I would want to know is why, why did, why does Drake feel like him and Nicky will never be cool again? Because he said something to that effect. Like we probably, we probably would never be cool again. I would like to know why. Walk around with Nicky. Yeah. I don't know. As I said, I would like to know why he feels like that relationship, like they would never be cool again. Also, you know, I mean, I think they did a good job of having to push a T conversation. But Canadians, you can't make up your own rules when it comes to rap beef, bro. But you know what I'm saying? Like, like, like, because, because, because what, you know, he was kind of saying that pushing went a little too far. And B-Dot, B-Dot said to him like, well, you brought up, I might have been Elliot. One of them there was like, you brought up pushes fiance. If you brought up pushes fiance and all bets off and Drake was like, yeah, I get it. I understand that, you know what I'm saying? But it's just like, I didn't like the fact that he's acting now as if pusha isn't worth engaging. Like Drake's the bigger artist. But he isn't. He's not. But my point is you can't now act like you're the bigger artist. Oh, he wasn't worth engaging back then either. But you did. Exactly.  But now they, but what I liked about it is he said, look, I'll take the L. He had no choice. That doesn't mean I'm glad he'd be an honest about you. You lost. That wasn't out. That's all I care about. That wasn't out. If you're saying I took the L. Yeah. And now he tried to like carve out his own thing when he was like, he was like, listen, I didn't get out barred.  Yes, you did, Drake. You did. Did he get out barred? Story of the honest, you got out barred. Absolutely. You got out barred. And the Duffy freestyle was dope. But majority of those were shots at Kanye. You didn't really have anything for pusha. How do you pronounce it? Kanye. Duffy. Duffy. Duffy. Duffy. Duffy. Duffy. Duffy. Duffy. Daman. Yeah. Daman put the Duffy on the left-hand side. Yeah. So I let the Duffy on the left-hand side. Paz the Duffy on the left-hand side. Oi. Hey. Um. Oi. Oi. Oi. Oi. Is that a sound? Give us a sound, Twain. Give us a good Jamaican sound. Give us a good Jamaican ad-lib. Give us a good Jamaican sound. Where's the dollar van? What? Madeira. What's that mean? Oh, okay. Madeira. Where's the kuchi miwantadagaret? Lord have mercy. That's the name of the dance, right? You want a dagga? Show some progressiveness in the Jamaican community.  We don't believe in that. Well, listen, salute the alien and beat that. I thought it was a great interview.  What, Joe's hating? Oh, Joe was hating so bad. Because he didn't get it? I had to tell Joe yesterday. I'm like, Joe, you sound so bitter. I said, the level of bitterness and hate in your voice towards this interview is absolutely incredible. And I just think that we all got to stop needless criticism of our people because we got to remember that jealousy, disgust from within. Ooh. Let's just give it up. Just say it with it. Don't say things like, it was the best words interview. It was a good, it was a great interview. You know what I'm saying? Speaking from the perspective of somebody who's only been doing it for 21 years. What was the critique? And interviewed a lot of people. It was literally about nothing. He was just angry and upset. And that's fine. Why would he get the Drake interview, though? I don't know. I know when we did our year-end pull-up, he absolutely said he wanted it. He absolutely said during the pull-up, he was like, yo, Drake, we need to do an interview. You know what I'm saying? So I don't know. Always. I don't know. I just think it's levels to this interviewing thing. Mm-hmm. And, yeah, Joe Budden is not on B.Dot in Elliot's level of interviewing. Mm-hmm. He's entertaining when he's having a conversation. It's a different skill. It's a different skill. There's a different skill being a shooter and being a support. Absolutely. Like being a point card. Absolutely. And they're very different things. Mm-hmm. You know? And some people can do both. But Howard is a, actually, I guess, I always remember Howard as an interviewer, but I think there was a time where he was a shooter, too.  No, no, no, no.  But I meant like, you're the type of guy you can go. Yeah. For example, if they say we don't have a guest today, but can you just fill 20 minutes of talking? Of course. Light work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there are some people that need someone to play off of, and they're geniuses with it. Like Larry King. I don't know if Larry King ever just talks about himself. But if you give him something else, he's going to get everything out of him. So there are different types of skills. Yeah, Joe can definitely go. Go. Very entertaining, fun, gets passionate about stuff. Absolutely. Funny, witty.  But it's passionate. 90% of the time. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. People like passion. Yeah, absolutely. It's entertaining to watch. But when it comes to interviewing, it's a different skill set that B.Dot and Elliott do very, very, very well. Yeah, B.Dot and Elliott are like skill journalists. Absolutely. Joe's like a Jamaican accent. He said, his chin hates his papa. It's highly entertaining. But may or not be authentic. I'm from the island. I'm from Tivoli Garden. I'm from Tivoli Garden. That's my, what are they called doing? That's my providence. No, it's not providence. That's my... It's like your little town. No, it's like the name of these like little towns. The Irish? No, no, no, no. What? No, in Jamaica. In Ireland? It's smaller than a city. It's like these... Village? Parish. Oh, Parish. That's it, Parish. That's where my people are from, Tivoli Garden. Okay, in Jamaica? Yeah.  Son! This guy is so crazy. I grew up in Jamaica, bro. This guy is so crazy. I spent my weekends in Jamaica. Right there off Eastern Park. You never been to Jamaica? I spent my weekends in Jamaica with my kids.  I am a trans Jamaican man. Look in the mirror, repeat after me. I see pride. I see power. I'm a badass mother. I identify as a rasta.   Cool run-ins. It's cool run-ins, Charlamagne. As always. We got anything else? It's so funny. Yes, I do have something else. Talk to me. Let me tell you something. You just seen tit. You just seen tit. Bob Marley's white brother. Bob Marley has a white brother? Bob Marley's half white, son.  He is white. He's from England. Yes, he is. Why are you all hating on us?  Why are you all hating on us? Why are you all hating on us?  Exactly. DeWayne said if you want to hear a white man do a good Jamaican accident and he said Bob has a white brother and you jumped out there like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's still identified as a white man, Angelo. You're white.  Okay? Let me see. I want to see this before we go. Let me see Bob Marley's white brother. I did not notice. What's his name? Bill? No. Not Bill. Not Bill. Brad? What's your American name, Bill? She crazy? No, what's his name? Trevor? Let me see. Let me see it. Pass me the phone. I'm bad to put it on him. No, don't back talk me woman. You mean I like when you're back talking. You mean I like it. I mean I like it. You see? It says cousins. Hold on one second. One second. Let me zoom it faster.

He might be. What if he was up there like what if he was doing that for real? That's what he does with you. That's crazy. Every once in a while.  What was he trying to say? Six. Sucker and sack of grass. Oh man. Listen, listen. Let me tell you one time. Yes, talk to me. Listen.   You might be right. But if you think we say some smart things here. You think we say some genius things here. You think we. You think we. You think we. Brilliant. You might be right too. Did I do it? Yes. Now you got to hit the thank you. Thank you for listening. It's the brilliant idiot's podcast.


All of a sudden Gomez throws the back five to win. He's putting a good touch on it and the pins are responding, Rob. He's going to take on Anthony Simonson. I'm not sure a lot of folks saw this coming, but... I'm not sure a lot of folks saw Gomez beating Dick Allen in the opening round by 37 pins. Yeah, one game match. I mean, you know, anything can happen, really, but I don't think anybody saw this coming. This is a rout. Moments like this where this crowd can actually hurt you, can get in your right. You're too jacked. That needs to hide. He looks away. He does not like it. Oh, my. One, two, four. Covered 88% of the time. Well, if he strikes here, he forces Butchrup to strike first ball on the right lane. There's a dark part of me that wants another one. He has to cover this. And then strike. And then we'll go to any better than this. What a knockdown Monday on FS1. This is great. First edition of the PBA playoff. How to strike. To get around it, the ball spins more. It doesn't grab the lane as soon. Or as quickly. Inside a target. Upset. Step aside. And let the shark feast. The shark is your champion, Chris Prather.


Hey guys, we're in some mad again. I know it's a bit repetitive, but for the trainings to Have some juice on you have to go things over and over again That's not the glamorous life of riding, but You have to do it and today I'm gonna focus on elbows during cornerings and focus a lot more on trying to use as much as I can my legs so I can pretty much go into racing and Spare as much as possible my arms when you start getting tired and after I know two or three hours of racing The first thing that starts showing some fatigue. It's always your arms. So if you try to always Put all the load During braking acceleration on your arms. It's a lot better and you save a lot more energy than If you would use your arms So let's see how it goes


Ever wondered who would win in a fight between an emu and a cassowary? This question is part of our Who Would Win video series, where we get wildlife experts to dream up hypothetical battles between animals, all in the name of science. Our first contender is the Southern Cassowary, the only Australian cassowary species it lives in the rainforests of far North Queensland. It's known to fiercely guard its territory and can weigh as much as 80 kilograms. A kick with the cassowary's claws would end any fight. With one short jump up and down come three sharp claws, the innermost claw a 12 centimetre spike like dagger. On the other side we've got the emu weighing in at up to 40 kilograms. The emu is happy almost anywhere, it will live in most habitats, eat many foods and travel between landscapes with ease. Oh, and it defeated the Australian military in the Great Emu War of 1932. So emus have a pretty good track record in a fight, and we'll get to that later. But the emu lacks in weight, it gains in speed and agility. It can leave you in the dust off at 50 kilometres per hour. They're also armed with a decent set of claws, and they aren't afraid to use them. Emus and cassowaries aren't likely to meet today, but around 6000 years ago, emus probably lived further north along Australia's east coast, right into cassowary territory. And so the fight begins. The emu picks up speed towards the cassowary. The cassowary stands its ground, stopping its feet and grunting to warn the emu. The emu circles, looking like it will take the cassowary by surprise. It lands a quick kick to the chest. But the cassowary kicks back. It's a brutal blow, ending in a cloud of feathers and a terrified looking emu. The emu's quick kicks are no match for the weight behind the cassowary's kick, and it's enormous, dagged claw. Now that might seem like a quick, unexciting knockout. The emu is nothing if not resilient, and the great emu war of 1932 will attest to that. Emus were undeterred by an Australian military armed with machine guns. They outran and outmaneuvered all attempts to control them in pastoral land. Today, the cassowary is an endangered species, after suffering a significant loss of suitable habitat. Meanwhile, the emu's range has expanded across most of the continent, thanks to its generalist nature. So yes, the cassowary might make short work of the emu one-on-one, but the resilient emu has the cassowary outnumbered by far. And a solo cassowary is no match for a mob of emus.


Thank you very much. Each year, the Ford School's graduating students are asked to elect people to play key roles at commencement. And one faculty member is chosen to speak to the class. Both sets of graduating students also choose a representative student speaker. As the faculty speaker this year, the classes of 2017 elected Jonathan Hansen. John Hansen is a lecturer in statistics for public policy at the Ford School. He is a specialist in comparative political economy and political development. In his recent projects, he has explored whether democracy and state capacity complement or substitute for each other in terms of improving human development and why authoritarian regimes vary so significantly in terms of economic and social outcomes. John holds an MA in economics and a PhD in political science from the University of Michigan. And John, or at least John's chin, was a top fundraiser during our students No Shave November, which raised money for the Flint Child and Health Development Fund. And so I'm delighted now to welcome him on behalf of the faculty to address our graduates. John? What do you do with a tassel when you speak? Class of 2017, you look good. So congratulations. You've made it. A lot of long hours, a lot of problem sets, policy memos, a few exams here and there. I may have been responsible for some of those. But you got here, you made it. It's time to sit back and savor the moment for a while and appreciate what you've done. So congratulations. It's a big honor for me to be chosen to represent the faculty and speak to you today. And I have to say that this class of MPP students will be one that I always remember because we started together in the fall of 2016. For you, it was the start of a two-year adventure as a public policy student. For me, it was a return to the University of Michigan, a place that I love as a student, but would need to find a new home in the School of Public Policy as a member of the faculty. I don't know who was more excited at the time, you or me, but I think it was me. But like you, I had to go through a process of acclimation. I had to get my bearings, meet new colleagues, and just really figure out how the school worked. And one of the things I most needed to figure out was what you would be like. I've been teaching for many years. I've taught hundreds and hundreds of undergraduates in my lecture courses, lots of doctoral students in my PhD seminars, but only us mattering a master's students had ever come through my classroom.  And what I found is that it was a fantastic teaching experience, because the talents that you bring, the experiences that you've had, and the passion you bring for bringing change to the world, and the genuine desire for learning, even when the classes might not always be so fun, like my stats class, for instance. But you worked hard, and you worked through all the difficult times, and we've got here today. What more could I ask for, after all, when I tell a bunch of dorky jokes, and you guys laugh? See? And as you know, the community here is something special. We worked hard to create a place that is open and accessible and diverse and where we appreciate each other. And you really are at the core of that, you, the students. But you're about to join a larger community out there, the community of alumni of the Ford School of Public Policy, who are out there making a difference in the world. We will miss you, but we look forward to seeing what you do when you take all of this energy and passion and go out there and change things. We're looking forward to it. And now, more than ever, we need you. We badly need well-trained, skilled people to be in positions of influence to address the challenges that we face today. I'm repeating a little bit what you may have heard before, but I think we're all ruminating about the same things that are happening in the world today. For we know that in America, we're facing a time of challenges, where the policymaking process is beset by simplistic beliefs or ideological fights, rather than the kind of evidence-based, rigorous analysis that we prize so highly here. We see fake news and trivialities dominating the political discourse. And there's a growing distrust of experts. Instead of taking the scientific consensus around issues like climate change, at face value, for example, we make them issues of ideological faith. People create different realities. And because of that, they find it hard to compromise with each other when the time comes. So in these times, you could be forgiven for wondering, what is the value of all the training that you've had here? If ideology can substitute for evidence, what good is it to bring evidence to bear on public policy decision-making? But the fact of the matter is that the kind of training we've had here is now more important than it's ever been before. We should serve as a model for how to have a reasonable political dialogue and how to use analytic tools to bring decisions based on evidence. We also have a crucial role in promoting values, the kind of community that we have here at Ford, where we work hard to respect diversity in its many forms, is exactly the model that we need to restore the fraying fabric of the American community. We have our differences, sure, but we come together, we listen to each other, and we work for the common good. We now need you to be the leaders and the best and to take on these challenges and change the world out there. And I must say, the situation is not as bleak as it seems. There's some evidence, if you look hard enough, of the impact of experts out there having an effect on the public policy process.  They did analysis and said what they predicted what happened, and it changed the course of the debate in the House of Representatives. And we've also seen what happened when community organizers and medical professionals and university researchers looked at the situation and flint, and they stood their ground and they made people pay attention. We have to stand up when you know what's right. And then we heard our president, not the president here, but at the United States remark recently about the health care debate, that it was a lot more complicated than he first thought. Who knew it could be so complicated? You guys knew because you studied these things, right? You knew. It turns out that expertise matters.  So don't be discouraged by the divisiveness of our political discourse. In the end, people can be persuaded by evidence. Still, I want to warn you that at some time and some place, you may fail. You may put your heart and your soul into something, and it may not turn out just how you think. But if you stay true to your values, you can never really fail. If you can look yourself at the mirror in the morning and say, I did it the right way, it doesn't matter what the critics say, because you met the standard that matters.  There is always another opportunity at another place at another time. So public policy students of 2017, great challenges, but great opportunities lie ahead. You're ready to face them. I know it. We congratulate you, we are proud of you, and we want to hear from you. Oh, and one more thing.  Thank you.


This is something that you see every day. They sell it on practically every corner now. This is coffee, and you can see me zooming in and out here a little bit, and what I'm doing is I'm kind of going over the different parts of the coffee. As you notice, there's some actual pitting in the coffee. It's off right there. I don't know if you can see that really close up. And strangely enough, it's actually very reflective. Normally, I would say when you see a coffee, you see it as this kind of dull kind of matte. But this, close up when you shine the LEDs on it, let's shift over here a little bit, and we focus in. You get these kind of crystal-like kind of rigid shapes, which is really interesting considering the fact that when you see a coffee granule, it looks absolutely nothing like this. But when we start to zoom in very finely like this, we can see these ridges and kind of like crystal structures that just go in all different directions. Let's move over here a little bit now. If we go, we can kind of see the side of this one right here. See, I'm using a compound microscope. So you can't really fully see the entire granule because it kind of needs to be on a flat surface. But this works really good for when you can get these chunks that are relatively on the same plane of focus. Yeah, like right here, as you see right here, we have another really nice piece. And this one has a pretty intense pitting towards the bottom, if you notice. It almost looks a little bit like honeycomb. We have all these different variations of color too. We have some yellows, some browns, and some mixtures of it all, and it almost looks like an alien rock. Funny enough thing is I have LEDs pulsing from the top rather than from the bottom. So the complete bottom kind of looks like a black abyss. So it's kind of like you're looking at maybe like an asteroid floating in space. That's really cool. We also have some little ridges sticking out of the corner right there as well. And then a little bit of a chunk attached right there almost by, kind of looks like almost like just a thread. But it's really interesting to see all the different color variations because when you see it from far away, it looks basically like a solid brown, but you get a really nice look the closer that you get. But yeah, so let's move over here a little bit and try to focus in on this small tiny little piece. Look at that. Okay, this is really cool. So if you notice right here, it kind of looks like it's just floating. And like I mentioned just a minute ago, the background normally has an LED that shines up from the top so you can see cells. But on this side right here, we have it shining from the top. So you're getting this really nice view of this one and this is actually a piece that isn't a little bit broken up. It's a smaller piece of the granule, but when it broke up, it really shattered almost into like a kind of like a glass. It almost looks like those rock candies that you get as a kid. It's very very interesting and all the little tiny pieces surrounding it too. It almost looks like an asteroid breaking up as it kind of heads towards Earth. But another really interesting thing about the coffee as well is that, you know, back in the 6th century a goat herder actually, I believe, I think I forget what country it was in. I actually researched this. His goat started eating some of the coffee beans and it ended up he tried the coffee beans as well because those goat liked it so much that that's kind of how coffee in history apparently was found. Not sure how true that is, but interesting fact, nevertheless a huge shout out to my Patreons. Thank you guys so much for your support. You guys are awesome.
