I Mean if they put in the time and the work to get to this place, but they told me that I'm already in the psychic realm a lot You know what I'm saying? And so I was just like, I don't know it kind of like just maybe I just got my Put it like this like I told them my psychic abilities told me not right now I think I think that's your paranoia abilities your anxiety abilities. That's what they told me They said that to me too which actually by the way felt a lot like peer pressure It felt a lot like you know go ahead and just do a line I get it and I will tell you I don't I think you might have spoken about this before maybe even years ago, but like I'm a pretty Risk-taking individual, right? I don't mind risks. I do things that outside of I have a huge fear of heights But outside of that like I'm willing to do something dangerous because I find that that danger kind of fun But for the first time in my life, I was feeling so filled with gratitude for all the things that I've been able to have you know, not only career-wise, but love-wise, you know family and I and I had all these amazing things and I started going What why are you?

I take off on a wave The takeoff for the wave is right in front of some reef and rock, right? I fall in the takeoff and because it's so shallow I spread out Because I want to fall as shallow as I possibly can so instead of our fish exactly. I go straight starfish I Go into the water.  Here's the thing When I was going to the surface I felt my hands breach the surface and I the second I feel my hands breach the surface naturally I just blow out my air so I could take my first breath of air. I Blew out my air and then I stopped. I'm still under the water. I'm scraping.   I Thought that means you die When you take you can take a breathful of water.  There was one task at hand and all my fear and anxiety turned into Focus and I was like you just got to get that leash off if you get that leash off You'll be able to swim up to the surface And it was so weird in that moment of survival like everything honed in it became pinpoint my focus and I reached down I grabbed the leash in the second I grabbed the leash popped the leash off of the coral and the board popped up And I went to the surface Wow, I couldn't believe it, bro.

I got a shout-out Barstools Dave Portnoy the guy who owns Barstool, right? Okay He started this fund for businesses small businesses struggling during the lockdown during the pandemic Okay, okay He's raised I think up to like 20 million dollars or something like that And he literally just calls these mom-and-pop businesses a dry cleaners a pizza store something like that, right? And just calls him up.  Why he got to record that? Why can't he just do it? Why can't he just show love? Why can't he just do it? Why he got to record them?  Yeah, it's like. Yeah, come on, bro. Stop like I'm telling you They can find a way to twist anything.  Well, Cardi was listening to WAP. I don't know.    They said that she can make this kind of music For other kids to consume what doesn't want her own kid to consume it, right? But the reality of the situation is this there's a reason these songs have parental advisory stick Boom. He's not making this music for three year olds. Exactly.  All right.  Oh, that's the kids Bob version.   But here's the thing and Cardi said it cause like I'm not making music for kids I'm making it for adults. The problem with music.  Really. Hey, man Why they're talking about my wife's wife? Sometimes Oh And one one one one one story in particular when I had a pan I literally had a panic attack in the midst of Sex so in shook one anxiety playing tricks on me. I literally had a panic attack in the midst of sex, which is Super awkward now. How did you how did you get out of that situation? Did you finish the job? Oh, I mean luckily I've been with my wife long enough that she understands when I get panic attacks So she just tries to talk me off a ledge. Have I ever seen you get a panic attack? This would be so funny straight to the ground. I go live panic attack. I Don't know. I used to by the way, I used to get him a lot when we used to do like the red car business shit Yeah, I was wondering. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely But I did the best part about that is we were all together. So yeah, you could you know what I'm saying Yeah, so anyway when you're all together with a bunch of comedians and you're not the comedian Yeah, I don't gotta perform Yeah, it's very good at the red carpet because I'm I'm focusing But I gotta do something to keep my mind off of the moment So when the microphones come in my face, it's something that makes me feel familiar and I'm comfortable You know what I mean? So in those brief moments when we walk in the red carpet and we're talking cool and then other than that It's like we're sitting in our seats and you know, it was a moment. It was a period of my life I'm just waiting. All right. Who about to approach me?  You know what I mean? That was crazy. They wouldn't even let wax sit with us. I was your security guard For like the first two years that we were going to those MTV things. That's true And then everybody started like they started liking wax. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, and then you protect you Yeah, yeah, you were protectable once they thought he was a nice guy. I guess it's fine No, that is very true. No, that is true. That is true. Listen positively brilliant Not the Democrats not the Democrats winning the Senate run off. Yeah, the organize Yeah, the political the political black culture that Georgia has created And it's thriving right now in Georgia. It's very impressive to see, you know, I'm saying and it's a combination of You know, organizations like Stacey Abrams Fair Fight and the New Georgia Project is it's grassroots organizations like What Tasha Brown does with black votes matter? You know, you have people like Tamika Mallory and until freedom on the ground. It's the rappers I love to see all the articles that CNN wrote and Rolling Stone about how these rappers in Atlanta have mobilized people So much that they've become political king makers, you know what I mean? And in particular killer Mike, of course ti, you know, GZ Jermaine Dupri It's just good to see that community come together Mobilize and man first they flip the state blue that hasn't been a blue state I don't know if ever if it has been it's been years years years years years And you know now they just you know got the first black senator ever in the South and Reverend Raphael Ward knock and John Ossoff one. I just think that what they did in Georgia is big and I think it should be Replicated throughout America and not and not even just but for Democrats, whatever your party is. That's the kind of mobilization you need That's the kind of organization and unity and group operation you need, you know what I'm saying? You get behind I'm not I'm not arguing with anybody anymore about Politics yeah Rep what you want to rep Believe in what you want to believe in but when it comes time to put those people in those positions of power Take care of his plot plan organizing strategize like my man killer Mike says Yeah, I can't wait to not care about politics. I Think we're well past that Andrew make it too much money now Yeah, that's true. Make it too much money now You gotta care you gotta care about state taxes Is really that's how I was fired everybody yesterday I call my business manager. I'll say this is the first thing I said. They're like, hey, happy new year I say what do you do for me? What do you do for me? I was like, don't ever email me again. He was this is this is how they try to play you This is good news. This means you're making money.  I know that you've been riding with Andrew Schultz and Leonardo McKelvie for a long time This is the part where I really need y'all to act like y'all in a safari All right Just riding the Jeep and listen for those of us who don't understand where coming from Yeah, I can already see I can already see some of the comments y'all complaining about having to pay more taxes That's so easy to say. Yes, you got to pay high six figures in taxes. Hey, okay Now here's the thing I was thinking about this. I was like, you know, how do I make this?  Why are you complaining? That's what I would say hundred percent So if anybody's thinking that I get it, so I was like, how do I make this conversation relatable? Okay?  I think it should be illegal to pay Well, number one thing that bothers me is I'm a thing that I'm a person like when I like fairness, you know I mean, but I'm talking about fairness on like a universal scale, right when the balance is un-tipped When the balance is tipped. I don't like it. It bothers me. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. So like for example if I'm waiting online and the motherfucker gets to skip the line I'm like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa We we're all waiting online or somebody skips or we all skip, but we're not doing this You get to skip it and we all don't have to right? Yeah. Yeah, unless it's a lesson something wrong or unless I get Of the guy's rushing for a flight or something Now even if you're rushing for a flight, it's like you should have got here early like me. I didn't sleep You know, I woke up early. I'm tired. You're not tired because you don't have to wake up early.  I know these real rich motherfuckers ain't paying taxes, bro Not paying taxes and I know they set up a system so they cannot pay taxes and I want it I Clearly we're not in that elite level yet We're not we know for a fact when Donald Trump tax returns came out I hit my financial guy and I said I How do I do it?  How do I do it? Do I got to dive my hair red should I gain some weight? I need to get an orange to you Are we moving to Florida? I'm with you. Yes. I'm with you. Do we got to put some of these s-cores and LLCs in Florida? Yes, we already do we're on zoom. I moved to Ireland. I don't I'm sorry, bro.  I'm like, oh Apple isn't even like Apple's business hub ain't even in America It's in Ireland so that they could take advantage of a tax break. I'm looking at all these different companies How they're getting rid of away with not paying taxes.   They just look like mr. Potato heads that needs some accessories and I'm like that's Fika That's Fika, bro. That's Fika. That's Fika right there That motherfucker is is that's where my tax dollars are going to that human Cuz it's gonna be going somewhere because they ain't going to the communities that need it yo That's another thing. It's like and now we sound like some real conservatives But like if you gave us the money to put in the places we want, right? You gave us the money to put in the places we want we would do the right thing and the right thing is keep it By the way, I love philanthropists. I think philanthropy is a real thing I understand why people put philanthropy in their bio I understand why people go up on TV and they put philanthropy in their lower third That's a real thing like I enjoy being a philanthropist I am the guy who gave a quarter million dollars to South Carolina State University You know that to open up a scholarship for my for my for my in my mother's name, right? Now I knew what I was having to pay in taxes the next year. I probably wouldn't did that.  Just stop working. You big.  I forgot to pay that Can you please you are too rich to have your phone bill be on?   She said nobody's Usually when you land when you land and your taxi and you that's when you pull your phone out And you take it off the airplane mold and you know We were sitting there for a while because it was a plane still sitting there and I was responding to text Right, but no matter if I was in the car and went home and she was like You're not on the phone. Like nobody's calling you. I'm like, I don't feel like talking. I'm texting like I just came from a week of meditation Yeah, all right. All right guys, we'll take a break for a second because we're not taking any of these bushes into 2021 All right, I'm not talking about presidents. I'm talking about public care All right, we have bushes down there and they should have been left in the 90s But unfortunately we're gonna have to take care of them right now and what we're gonna do that with is Manscaped okay, and the reason why we're gonna use manscape.  Here's why you're gonna use manscape.  If you got hairy balls like I do you could be down there for a half hour or longer Making sure everything is trimmed and proper it be as you got to use extra careful technique down there because the stakes are high Okay, you use manscape. You're out of there in a few minutes literally a few minutes Okay, get the law the landscape 3.0 package I'm gonna read the exact one that it is but the perfect package 3.0 It is the best below the waist grooming package you need to start off your year strong Okay, it comes with the lawnmower 3.0 waterproof skin scape safe trimmer to reduce the nicks to you or two best friends Those are your balls. Okay, it's got the crop preserver Moisturizer ball deodorant all this good stuff.    I just called it a chant No, it's my personal mantra. What can you just tell us our mantra?     That's it Why it was just a blank canvas like I didn't see I was like wow cuz you know you I'm the vision board guy You know I'm saying I got all of these different goals and Aspirations and things I want to accomplish. I don't have none of that this year only thing I want to do is just I Want to just serve? Right. I want to serve. I want to serve other people and just execute was Execute was on what's already you know on the field. Yeah, I think I know what yours are But I think you've been I think the transition you've made in your life Recently and you're going through all these different things that I tease you about You know Hugging trees and you know dealing with different rocks and that kind of stuff but also like therapy meditation is like You're making the transition that very few people get the opportunity to make which is going from surviving to living And in life And first we're all surviving maybe when we're kids We don't even know it you kind of like live with your parents They're supporting you but like you're still trying to survive in your own kidlike way You're like trying to survive school and not being bullied and all these kind of things and it's like You work as an adult you go through school you work And then you get a job and hopefully that job pays you enough money where you can Survive and a lot of people they need to with most people on the planet They need to work every single day or five days a week and then they need to work that next week They can't stop working and their life is Based around working because if they stop working then they die right or they potentially die right? Some people get to a financial state where They can stop working if they want and they can survive doesn't mean they're gonna be rich for the rest of their life But they can't survive and they can take care of their family and at that one thing is a luxury yes And at that point you start Experiencing living and that's the point where you're like yo I gotta figure out how to live because every day before this if I didn't bust my ass and work I would be dead and my family would be dead so I was surviving but now that I know my family's good and I know I'm good I might as well figure out how to get the most out of this life thing that I got in front of me and That's always been a greater goal of mine is to have that like very unique opportunity to to live to not survive To truly live to have enough Financial capital where I could take care of my family and everybody needs to be taken care of and then have the opportunity where to really figure out What life is like when you remove? The tiger that's chasing you you know what you survive or whatever those things So I think that's what your journey that you've been on recently has been. It's like how do I be okay? Just be in me Yeah, I mean I agree with half of that. I definitely agree with the living in the thriving part And it's not that I disagree about the financial part because people who tell you things like they had more money when they was Poor and all that that's that's a lot. That's that's that's that's nobody nobody ever says they had more money when they were poor No, they do they that's that's something they try to say to sound like fake deep Oh when they want people to have sympathy for them You know me like I had more money when I broke I had more money when I was poor like yeah, okay You know you didn't understand that You actually didn't you literally by the way and by the way and by the way if you did you were a you were a kid Ask your parents if they had fun When you ask you ask your parents if they had fun there using money as a metaphor for happiness Exactly, which is already it is I don't think yeah, I don't think money I don't think money can help you live and only reason I say that because I know so many people who just wake up every day man And and and they live their best lives and it don't have anything to do with money Like they really do appreciate the simple things in life. And that's why I always say like success is subjective No, I mean happiness is subjective because there's all there's somebody right now I promise you making thirty thousand dollars a year and they wake up every morning and they got a beautiful family I didn't mean that even have a family might just have themselves, but they love life They love what they do and they are happy ever seen that janitor that's just cleaning the halls But they're always singing, you know, I mean or that traffic guard that's outside the school But they dancing and putting on the show for people every morning and making everybody else's day better Like those people exist and when I look at people like that man, it just really makes you it just makes you want to live Like you said, you know me. I just want to live my best life I want to be the best the best version of me and I've genuinely found These things that make me feel good The the more I can still my mind the more I can keep my mind calm The more I can keep my mind from constantly racing the more I can keep my mind from constantly caring about bullshit Yeah, that's another thing shows. We're in a business where we have to you cannot do short save America If you don't have at least two years worth of bullshit stored in your brain To be to be able to spew I'm serious Yeah, I got to get on that radio every morning 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. And care about this low energy Shit, yeah, well, that's you know what I mean? That's that's you're 100% right That's why I like when people are like, you know, you're gonna do it again in 2021 It's like I got to be compelled to do it like this past year I felt like there were so many things were happening in the world and where I thought though that America specifically was so divided or at least the perception of a division was so right rife in like culture that That I don't know. I just felt compelled. I was like, yeah, we need to do this We need to do something that speaks to this, right?  Yeah, you saw you saw us in here every time you pull up in the studio It's just like nonstop. So for me to do that.   That's out there.  Yo, that's the 20 20 called for that We got what 2021 calling you to do exactly We got to do projects that were compelled to do not because there's like a check in front of us Like we ain't worked so hard to build our own platforms You know, I mean and build up build up things that we own ourselves so that we had to do projects for Financial reasons. We're very fortunate and blessed So I only want to do things that I'll dedicate everything to so if 2021 requires a show saves America and And and there are things that I feel compelled to talk about then I'm gonna talk to the boys And we're gonna get cracking on it, you know, but if it requires something else then we could do that as well I mean, I still got the stand-up special that I'm gonna put out, you know I'll be honest. I've been thinking about it a lot. I Want to I want to do a film We got to film. I want to do a film. So I think in the next couple years a film as well I mean, we can we can we can get working on that now, you know, I'm saying because that's something that I'm willing to even Finance that's like part of me feels like we could finance it We could do all the things for and then I want to create It doesn't have to feel like an indie because we know how to create top quality stuff We have all the equipment everything like that, but I want the grassroots approach that everything else that we've done Has been grassroots from the podcast YouTube clips all these things It's just like the people even for the Showtapes America that starts on Instagram YouTube The people made that pop in before anybody else does right? So if we could create a movie, I would love to put out like a movie every three years Same cast, you know I'm saying like to tell stories just like literally I watch Ocean's 11 12 13 And I go I have so much fun just watching these films Yes, remember remember when we were kids. There were certain things they just make a few of those movies You're like, oh, I just love existing in the world. It was like a podcast for us in a way But we like cruise say what you like cruise. I like the crew man for real crew You do realize this year is the 10 year anniversary of guy code, right? That's fire dude this year that time goes by fast like a motherfucker. I was talking to my man Paul Richie like this Oh This year is the 10 year anniversary of guy code So, you know for everything that we're doing on TV when you see shows with the Netflix special me with the comedy center So any any of the different iterations you've seen us on television over the years It started with that all started with that with that It literally it literally started with that show like there was a bunch of unknown people on that show a bunch of Unknown people and that hating bitter-ass man named Ashley Larry That hating bitter-ass man Ashley Larry was literally the biggest TV name on that show at the time Can we squash that beef between you guys because I'm just tired of seeing him post all the gay shit on his Instagram, I might have to follow the Instagram I look nice in a dress Yo, so what what when are we gonna stop the beef between you and Darnell? I don't come on now, you know good and damn. Well, that is one sided Okay, we gotta get done now long anything. We gotta get done now long Because a lot a good percentage of his Instagram feed is dedicated to you have two Instagrams you have obsessed Don't that was obsessed with three people.   I'm just saying here's the thing here's the thing. I've gotten Joe Rogan told me I'm the last great radio personality You know what I'm saying told me I'm one of the best great compliment Dave Chappelle has told me the same You know told me some other things that I'll keep to myself, but you know when they come true I'll be like damn Dave Chappelle said that a lot of it is a lot by the way a lot of it has come true You know what I'm saying a lot of it. So yes, I'm happy to be in that company. Thank you. Thank you Thank you Ashley Larry, okay, so but so this is a big you think maybe this is like a safe expression of admiration It's easier to take down than it is to admire type of thing I don't know what it is, but I I appreciate it. I just I'm telling you I live to take his video And scratch his name out. You're the one he did of me with the money resides face He thought he thought he was slick.  Hey, I don't even got to say anything no more I send my people the video, you know what to do And then when I repost it and it gets all these likes and comments and goes viral He gets so mad tries to repost the video that I that the video he posted I repost He'll repost it With my caption nobody cares done now actually Larry nobody cares Okay All right, great job in soul great job in soul. He killed it in soul man. Oh, it was a great movie I'm not gonna lie thoroughly enjoyed. So oh, I also want to positively brilliant to the cast. I thought it was a really I Mean it made me think a lot. I'm not gonna lie It really made me think in a lot of Disney movies do that through animation It just made me think like yo, is there like could I hear about you hear about the limbo space, bro? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, this yeah, I just thought it was like a actually Alex is your mic on did you see soul yet? Fuck I'm curious to see if anybody who's been to Burning Man thought that like It was just a ripoff of Burning Man explain It's just like the whole character that like hippie-dippy character the boat in the desert That's what they do in burning man They have these like boats that like ride around in the desert and like being able to like become one and meditate into that limbo space Also, even the figurines that they were like all those different colors So to me it was just like oh someone not a ripoff, but like you see this a lot inspiration Yeah inspiration you see it a lot in advertising too like you'll go to Burning Man one year and then all of a sudden You'll see like in commercials all these like some things that resemble all like the art that you went there But I thought the point was good. I thought the point was good like enjoy the things that you have in life That's it enjoy the moment and that's what I kept thinking about even when I was I was like damn y'all I'm going into 2021 with a blank slate. That's how the main character in the movie was like What you gonna do with your second opportunity?  I just I just thought that was dope. I thought it was a I thought it was a great film I mean plus I've been I watched it on Christmas Day like you know I mean shit.   No, no come on bro. Stop it that stop with that. I mean almost stop with that, bro You said you almost died put that bro. You that was under water What if you was under water dead? I literally I took my nose I just breached the surface with my nose and that's where I got my You snuck that goddamn show Those a shark Taylor what are you trying to say? I Had a question about the movie so do you know how he escaped from the escalator thing like leading when they got zapped He was able to go into that new place to like Yeah, mentor the other people. Yeah, I Understand how It like how you're able to go to mentoring the little whatever they were and then or whatever that escalating thing was He wasn't really meant to or he wasn't supposed to be there He wasn't supposed to be a mentor. He's he snuck into that place Yeah, but I just wanted to know like how it How did the other mentors get there though? Like why wasn't he allowed to go there first? It was surrounded by mentors and that in that part that whole section was nothing but mentors they said that it was like all these people are mentors Also was I almost didn't like the movie because he died instantly and I felt type of way about it But then I didn't die instantly. You know what I did like about the movie What I thought was really cool is I think we're starting to see this with I Think we're starting to see this with like cartoons and I think movies in general is and This to me is progress is like you're starting to see movies with minority characters That aren't minority stories exactly don't now it's not come now I'm not saying we shouldn't tell minority stories We obviously should right just like we should tell like really specific white stories You know what I mean that all these types of things we can tell if they're unique fun stories But like that movie so stereotypical boom Yeah, like that movie so like it could have been a white guy who was a jazz musician It didn't have to be like her his parents were at worked at like a dry cleaning place They didn't make them have like a traditional black family business, whatever like that like I just thought it was such a Such a cool like moment of progress where it's like here's a person of color This movie is around them, but they're they're quote-unquote allowed to exist in Their story instead of being locked to their identity. I love it. That's why I love black sci-fi I love black horror. You know what I mean?  You know what I mean?  What happened?   I Hated the first Wonder Woman before we even get to the second Wonder Woman You know, I hated the first Wonder Woman go actually for the exact same reason.  It's wonder Karen. It's not even as you can the day No, she doesn't that's the whole point. She don't even save the day. The white man saves the day The mediocre white man that she falls in love with Yup, right. He's the reason that she recognizes her full potential He's the guy who ends up killing himself at the end of the movie to really save the day Which makes her so puts her in such an outrage that she finally realizes who she is She comes from this land surrounded by all of these powerful None of them want to tell her how powerful Jealous So it takes that the other god the other white man to tell her how powerful she is right It's like yeah, yeah, well you described is low-key fire if that's what the movie's about then I got This is amazing this is the history behind every great woman is a great white man That's what it seemed like. I'm just saying That's AOC by the way by the way it comes part two What's the other one? What's the other chick who the white man? No, no come on. Yeah, AOC Kamala Who's the other chick out of Minnesota?  Say it again to sacrifice the world. Mm-hmm Jesus Comes back Jesus now. This is what pisses me off about the movie They make a wish for these guys to come back. Yep.  You're supposed to be so caring and So so heroic you're not having it though.  They don't care. They're Karen's don't care. What up Karen? Karen's aren't about Karen. Okay, let me tell you Karen's aren't about Karen. I'm just telling you these days are facts. There's nothing we can do about it No, it seems like that yo, they didn't care about his family Mm-hmm. They didn't care about his life We don't even know who this guy was then the then the guy that got possessed comes back at the end of the movie Because the same white guy who sacrificed himself in part one Yeah makes the same type of sacrifice in part two and here goes Wonder Woman learning more of her powers Yeah, that's what yo, yo She learned to fly y'all should have just played R. Kelly. I believe I can fly for that sequence She learned to fly.  She did for goddamn Her for her for her greatness sacrifice himself for the woman. That's what we do.   That's what all look Bible is part one by what is it new testament part two, bro? Come on man. Come on.  Hold up. That's what we do white men We sacrifice bro.  Did you see Wonder Woman? Yeah, of course, I didn't see it man. I lived it. That's my life, bro That's what I do bro. That's what I do. Okay That's what I the bird call That's what I do. Did Alex see Wonder Woman. Yeah, of course.  Oh, he wasn't gonna miss that one Amazonian What'd you think of it Alex now the second one was trashed, but you're a little hard on the first one Nah, but first one was tell me what I'm missing about the first one classic film classic I mean like she didn't realize her potential because the family was hiding it from her because she knew they knew that if she gets Powerful then Hades or whoever that God is gonna come after often time So who so who told her how powerful she was? Let me tell you something. It was like a coming of age Like may I realize I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I we have some people who are not of the race talking about the race. Please. Let me let me let me do it You have a representative here to talk about my people, you know I'm just saying this is what will happen like oftentimes, right?    Why is it? Why is it great? Keep it a buck Why is it great? I'm beyond with you what's in it Harley Quinn Also, what was a white guy in that movie, isn't it? Nah, I mean it is but nah, that's not that she's a hero.  I guess good It's like it's Harley Quinn Harley Quinn birds of prey is a great movie I think DC should focus on just the villain tell us the stories of the villain Because you realize why the villains are the way they are from that angle. There's never enough emphasis on villains It's always yeah heroes one of the things that did Marvel does brilliantly is they develop both sides of the story So DC only develops the hero and then the villain is like a big Fiery monster from another planet that has no purpose but destroying the planet. Well, why do you want to destroy the planet? Destroy planets. Well, why absolutely? So there's no stakes But if you develop both sides of the story divide develop the hero and the villain all the sudden as the person in the audience You got to choose you're like wait a minute that villain He might be doing the wrong thing, but for the right thing in the future like Thanos was so brilliant You know I'm saying like when he was devising his plan. He's like look I've seen how it goes like it's horrible Everybody starts the death and dies I'm trying to find a way where they don't as a viewer you start going Shit, all right, maybe it's got something Thanos kill monger like these monger needle Magneto all of these villains make sense. You know what I mean? And that's I just think more I think DC should just do that this because y'all not gonna ever get the hero thing, right, bro It's just and let's just be let's just keep it a buck. Yeah, let's keep it. He's just got trash heroes Yeah, it's just different versions of Superman, bro. It's Superman water Superman woman Superman running fast Rich Superman, that's all it is and then rich Superman.      So Michael Keaton is gonna be like the Nick Fury Man, I ain't even seen it yet That shit don't even sound appealing y'all cuz at the end of the one the second Wonder Woman Linda Carter just shows up out of nowhere And Linda Carter's like I've been here the whole time The original Wonder Woman The old school OG Wonder Woman YK OSIRIS, how much you pay for a haircut it shows? $100 Why K. Osiris says that he pays a hundred a thousand dollars a month in haircuts No, that's not true and the reason he says he pays a thousand dollars a month in haircuts is because He says that he he gets a haircut every three days He has his barber on call the barber pulls up to him wherever he's at and and cuts his hair every three days $1,000 a month, I might not be that bad if if he's doing that He's got a short haircut and also if he's paying him more, you know, I mean like my guy comes to the studio So I want to pay him more Yeah, I wouldn't pay you give $100 because if he was in the barbershop, you know He would probably cut two or three people and make that money all that kind of stuff. Yeah, exactly I get that My hair for the Netflix special man I made sure that he was the stylist for the special But you're not getting a haircut every three days not even close bro. I haven't got a haircut since I left That's what I'm saying. You get a haircut. How often do you get a haircut? I try to get a haircut every However long it takes for this hair to go on top of my ear. Yeah, that's probably like two to three weeks So I get a haircut once a week, right? Ball D shave cost me about 40 to 50 dollars You know what I'm saying? That's what the tip and everything.   Yeah a week That's still only $400 a month Yeah, but you why are you giving a barber? You got also like you're not one to speak on this issue because you have no hair This guy But I get I still get a haircut once a week Yeah, but it don't matter like you could not get a haircut and nobody cares because you got no hair But why can't I got a great hairline?   Let me take that back. Okay, but bother me about the situation He does this video. Well, he says he's trading in all of his cars.    I mean listen, and I tell people I tell people at your age I'm not even mad at the fact if he wants to spend a thousand dollars a month I think it's a waste of money, but don't don't don't tell us you're not stunting anymore Only to turn around a stunt. Yeah, that's where it's hypocritical Don't go. We don't yes. That's your issue. Your issue ain't even the money Your issue is don't don't try to stunt. He's trying to flex by not flexing.   I don't like What Al he's 22 years old Good hairline haircut. Yeah, very important at that age. Is it yeah every three days Alex So if you had the money that think about when you was 20 when you had a hairline think back. Whoa Now but think back to when like the cuts really meant a lot to us if you had the money You would have had your barber every three every three days What's the week bro every Friday? So every five days he was wasting money on Jordans. You would have been wasting money on haircuts. Come on nah No, Jordan Jordan go a lot longer. I'm Jordan go a lot farther than a haircut. Do they oh first of all Shout out to bodega. Thank you very much for giving me these. You're very kind. I saw that very kind very kind No big I don't know I listen.  Oh, wow Can I share my screen Alex? Yeah They say they got a plane like they hijacked the plane I just put it in the uh dot They hijacked the plane to DC What are you Oh trump to the storm in the capital bro like we always follow the go to the capital and they did and they got into the capital Holy shit, let me see it. Let me see it And hold on. Hold on. Okay.  What?    That's what that's what the woman.   That's what they want I bet you the whole thing is they start shooting american citizens.  Of course. No, I'm not saying you're not Obviously, there's going to be racial discrimination here But I'm saying is the trump administration wants their supporters to get shot so they can keep on going See what happens when they try to fight for a fair election? No, I don't think there's not it I don't think there's an american alive Who would tell you if you storm the capital? And you get shot.  I'm really shocked that you could just do that I know is that even to climb a wall? Yeah, like what's in the capital what what Like I've been to the capital before I don't even know why they're scaling the wall. You don't have to scale a wall to get to the capital Do you think that like while they're scaling the wall they start to realize like oh, shit, maybe that wall was a waste of money The way I'm looking at them just climb over this wall Yo somebody somebody sent me this one. They said on a plane from texas to dc Flight attendants are struggling to control a plane full of trump supporters as they display a pro trump projection And harass other passengers bound for dc This seems too organized. How could all this happen? How could all this happen? There's no way Well, no, no, they were they were already on standby because today is the day that The the congress that congress made it official. Joe Biden is president. So today is the day they voted on it That's why Mike Pence told trump like there's nothing I can do to overturn any of this You know what I'm saying? So like they knew they knew that they were they were on they were on deck. That's all And is trump leaning into it. What does he say? Listen? You excited? I'm gonna be honest with you.

Um, I don't even know if it's gonna be a deep dive We're just gonna jump in the water. I don't know how deep this water is Last night we were on a group chat and you know, it came through that. Um, dr. Dre Had a brain aneurysm. Oh, yeah Something I wouldn't wish on anybody. Um, I I I have definitely suffered from headaches and went to the doctor and had an MRI Just to make sure because you know, you hear these stories about brain aneurysms and they Hit you so suddenly and unexpectedly there's not really any symptoms except for severe headaches And you know, that stuff is scary and i'm not gonna say who in the group chat I'm just gonna say it's a group chat full of women and myself and wax And uh, that sounds fun one of the women said That it was karma.  I just thought that it is very irresponsible And mature And illogical To say that health issues are karma right Brain a brain aneurysm can happen to anybody. So I said to them So if your grandma has a heart attack tomorrow, that's karma dies Was it her karma?  You know what I mean? Like you can't say that somebody's health issue Is karma health issues don't discriminate Like harry a tubman died in ammonia At 90 something years old is that karma? Like what are we talking about here? Like when do we when do we when do we stop this this karma thing? Quincy jones has had two brain aneurysms and survived Is that karma? I think I read a statistic where it's like 17 million people a year die of heart attacks is that karma? What about kids That are born with illnesses that they can't do anything about is that karma? Like you can't we got to be very careful The way we throw certain things around and um, you know, I even saw people tweeting Things like that. That's how the conversation started actually a person shared a tweet And the tweet was like all the women that dr. J put hands on rejoicing over his karma And yo health issues are not karma. Yeah, it's just not I could be wrong. What do you think shows? I agree with you? yeah, I think that um Not everything happens for a reason But you can find a reason and everything So I don't think he got a brain aneurysm because he allegedly beat women But I think he can look at this moment and he can go Oh, wow, maybe there are these certain unhealthy things I was doing in my life that could have caused this or maybe I need to go to the doctor more and check You know and check myself out, etc So I think you can always learn something from everything that happens But this idea that like everything that happens in our lives is like predisposed It's like not everything happens your life is a lesson But it something I agree with that something that's good that happens to you ain't all Like that's not necessarily karma either. You know what I mean? Like That might be some luck that might be some hard work That might be a whole you know, cornucopia of things that helped created that outcome Because this good karma is bad karma, but also too. It's like also Things that happen to you aren't always some spiritual karmic reasons. Exactly. Yeah You know what I'm saying? You might get into a car accident simply because somebody wasn't paying attention Right because somebody was somebody was texting and driving, right? You know what I mean? All right Somebody you might have been drinking and driving and got into a car accident Like those are the reasons when you say everything happens for a reason. Yeah, because she was drunk. Yeah You know what I mean? Yeah, everything happens for a reason. Yeah, because you was looking down at your phone texting Yeah, like there's there's always reasons and they're not always some spiritual You know karmic thing exactly that we can't But no there are tangible things that you're doing in your life that cause things to happen And that's the thing it's like we all need explanation for the world man You know, yes, it's hard for us to exist in a world without explanation. It's really hard for us to see events of catastrophic proportions happen and go Well, why did this happen? Oh because life is frivolous. I don't want to believe that I'd much rather believe that happens because either God wanted to happen or karma or this like it's terrifying to go through life Accepting that anything could happen to all of us.  Are these images of these these rich successful people in our head and for whatever reason we think they're exempt from everyday human life Yes, dr. Dre is a superhero in the world of music Yes, dr. Dre is a superhero in the world of business. But guess what?   I read it. I read the statistic. It's 200.  You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's one of the people who got one.    He couldn't believe how much he was saving Yeah, daddy doesn't do and you know tailor tailor tailor was agreeing You know what I'm saying?    What's that?   You know what tailor's response was? I want to fight her. No, don't fight her. You're just like her. Oh, wow Is disrespectful to say anybody's health issue or death Especially when it's an accident It was an accident. That was a helicopter accident. I mean, I didn't say that though Why do you think I said the health thing? I just said depends on someone's past What makes what is karma and I didn't say him. I'm just saying in general What do you mean when you say somebody I mean in the context of talking about the dr brain aneurysm thing. What did you mean? I Didn't think that that was his karma. I said his karma was probably him having to give back all his money To his wife, whatever like that. That would be the karma not the health. No, that's not karma either. That's just a woman being greedy That's just That's all that is, you know what I mean There's nothing that's it. That's it. All right.  No No, exactly google cockroach faces that might be your new favorite pastime You know, it's interesting. Just don't know is like how little we care about insects lives Like I think we care more about plants lives than insects Like if some kid was just ripping flowers out of the ground you'd be like, yo, what are you doing?  I knew you're gonna go here with this.   You didn't want to talk about anything else. What else is there? What? I mean about um The you didn't think about the weekend and his music video how he changed his face. No, he didn't really change his face That's not what he really looks like now, right?  Oh, you don't that's that that's that's that jigsaw snapchat filter That's that goddamn What's that what's that character saw jigsaw, right? That's that jigsaw snapchat filter. By the way, I saw that and I'm 42 years old bro. I grew up in the michael jackson You know what I'm saying? I have not really do it. Did he do it or did he not do it? I don't know. I don't think he I don't think so, but he was wearing that thing around his face So I guess it was all just publicity sense. I mean, I love the long game. Oh my god Exactly Like we don't know what's going on here. Like this is all theater. It's theater. It's performative.     Yeah, give feed people what they want But once again, I grew up in the michael jackson era. So this ain't really a face change to me. Like, yeah I've seen worse Do you care about um bobby smurda? Um bobby smurda be home february 23rd allegedly black history. Let's go.   Have you heard your tone over the years? Stop it, man. I don't like people like that.  I don't like I don't like when I don't like when it's no Like it's no fun when the rabbit got the gun, right? Not saying snoop is not a rabbit at all snoop is snoop dog. All I'm simply saying is m&m You've given it to people hard Over the years all snoop said was You're you you're objectively you deserve to be on people's top 10 lists because of your your work with dr. Drake But you're just not on his so what He said that your music is music that he can live without so what? Why yeah, and by the way, that's been the general consensus of m&m for a long time Especially in the circles I run in I acknowledge m&m is a dope lyricist a phenomenal lyricist. He's great, but I don't relate to his music. Yeah I'm not taking that m&m and sands put that while we on the boat in Cabo I'm not at the house, you know, I'm saying saying throw that m&m on I'm not in the car like throw that m&m on That's not a just the m. Yeah, the guy is one of the biggest rappers of all time I just don't rock with it. I appreciate him for the things he's done with hip-hop I like how he helped dr. Drake get to bring his career back to promise I love him introducing the world to 50 cent in g-unit the d12 stuff all of that But come on bro, stop being so sensitive. You're m&m.   No sensitive tough guys All the worse.  So I think it's because like at the end of the day Rappers are artists and artists are usually pretty sensitive.    Never seen you at a protest. Whoa I'll be in that protest.  Where's the instagram picture Well, I'm triggering me because I'm just gonna sound like you're trying to tell me that you post about everything But you didn't post about being in the black lives matter protest.

You want to enter that billionaire class black people We didn't have to say that bro. Like why we had to go there. Why we got to go all the way over there, bro I'm just saying Well, no, that was legal back in the day selling black people was legal That was that was that was legal. I'm just saying it's it's it's a fine line It's a fine line like when these I'm not saying that you can't make it other ways There are plenty of people who made it in other ways you can't make it legit But there are plenty of people who put on these heirs Of austerity the elites if you will they came from the streets just like everybody else doing the most grimy Shit to get on a lot of Gatsby's out there Is that fair to say chris or am I being cynical? No, sure. I mean the the biggest example right now is the sackler family. Oh, yeah.  They were selling fentanyl right fentanyl Is their drug oxy cotton was there, you know, I think the actual company name was purdue They put it under a company name purdue Well, let me ask you a question if if if they're putting it on the market for the right reasons But people are using it for the wrong reasons. Is it their fault? Well, what what happened was that's that's the argument they've made what the investigations have found is that behind the scenes they were pushing doctors to over prescribe it And they were also kind of playing with the stats and claiming it was non addictive when in fact as we now know now It's incredibly addictive. So They were playing both sides of a coin. There's this indian dude that 60 minutes today A whole like expose on him. There's this indian doctor who I don't know if he created fentanyl like was part of like the Owner of the company that was putting it out and essentially I think he's being put into jail for like three to ten years He should be shot in his forehead But he basically had this whole rap Where he would pay doctors to do these speeches Right at these conferences because you can't pay a doctor directly to to Prescribe a drug to somebody but you can put them on these speaking tours where they're getting 50,000 30,000 Whatever it is and they know how to keep themselves on those speaking tours And that's by prescribing the fence and all to these patients And then what he would do is he'd keep a list of how much they were prescribing to each patient And then email all the doctors like yo He was on 10 milligrams now you need to bump them up to 20 now you need to but they were creating addicts And creating uh these people who had overdosed and then when they can't get any more fentanyl They go to heroin all this other shit.  I just don't you know, how you made the bread You don't think you feel a little bit guilty about it.    You're so fortunate I'm like, yeah, no, I'm so lucky. I got the best job in the world.  You got to pay for it. Sorry Like they it's not it's not that they're bad people But they're to make a living forced to do this thing that probably makes them feel bad Like how lucky are we we get to do this and the people listen they enjoy they laugh like sometimes they get angry But they feel good that feel feelings man. It's uh, what about the people you hurt? Say what no comedy as well.  They could die See my god Listen, uh, I know they wild in DC right now because a little little duvall text me duvall text me and say Hey wild in DC. Let's go Living my best life Oh They said um, I'm sorry my son.  I'm telling you brothers and if that was black lives matter, it would be no way We did it. We will be dated Can you give us? You wouldn't be dead taylor because you wouldn't be there. I'll be there.    Yeah, what do you mean? I wish you would tell me I owe you something. You're the easiest person to ignore But like who are you talking about who's saying that? Hello, Taylor.  That's it. This is my parents But you guys never felt like the maybe like bitterness of someone that you thought was your friend or not and like y'all not friends no more What do you mean? Just like so they sound like two different things like I don't It sounds like somebody owes somebody money, bro. That's what really sounds like it's happening over here And that guy who asked the question should pay that money back That's really what it is. Okay.  It's not appropriating. It's appreciated Well, let me defer it to the white guy on the show But this one Okay, so white culture is european culture um Well, I think yeah, I think american culture is is unique In that it does have influence from all these other parts like How much a cowboy culture has been influenced by like mexican or native american culture, you know, like I mean the cuisine. I mean i'm sure Yeah, I think he's saying it in a weird way, but ideally I would love everybody This part of the fabric of america to feel entitled to everything that comes out of america And we could recognize that certain groups might have developed this thing But we can also go. Hey, this is for all of us because we're all a part of it and I think You guys have to speak to this But I think when everybody feels equally a part of it Then I think they'll feel like we could share But when you don't feel like you're getting what's due to you is harder for you to share with other people Is that close? Yeah, it's never gonna happen though. And the reason it's never gonna happen because the one thing that america has um That I think is different and unique is is capitalism. So You know black people Even though we do have a lot of the shared same experiences You'll have black people who aren't in certain financial positions. So we'll say y'all don't understand You know what i'm saying and it's the same thing with white people, you know Like even though we think white people have this certain level of privilege There's always people that are way more privileged and way more elite You know what i'm saying then then then the average White person that's just walking around in this country. So I don't think it'll ever I don't think we'll ever be on equal Playing fields and yeah, no, you're right. Maybe we won't feel like we're on equal playing fields But like maybe we'll just get closer to a moment where we could feel like we could share In each other's traditions and each other's contributions.  Yo, dude, what is it's a different sense of equality, but it's also the It's also how inequality happens organically. I had this exact thought I'm at this fancy resort obviously in in uh, hawaii in the island of lanai. It was absolutely beautiful and Because of how expensive it is the barrier to entry is very high so anybody going there Can is probably doing pretty well or they got their money handed down to them, right? But because of what you said everybody in there Is willing to talk to you because you're not someone who's trying to get something out of them You're someone who also is probably quite successful and they might want to get something out of you Or it's a mutual contribution to what is going on So everybody's looking at you at an even playing field. You know what I mean? Um And and you want to know who's who and you might want to know who's who but what happens is you start talking to these people, right? Who are successful in their field? And they start sharing information with you because that's what people do we share information with each other and now Information of successful people is being transferred back and forth And when that happens Do you know how many investment opportunities come out of that how many deals come out of that?  This is how rich people get richer and the poor people don't because poor people aren't given These opportunities and I kept thinking I was like, how do you put poor people in these situations? So they could also benefit from something like this. That's access That's access and it's a different level of access. That's financial access You're not going to you're not going to put a poor person at a four seasons resort somewhere Because they can't afford to be there. Exactly. So it's like it's this restrictive thing and it's um Yeah, it made me really excited when I was having the conversations But a little part of me was bummed because I was like, man, there's so many people that aren't going to Be able to have this and then This is just to wrap it up I go holy shit How amazing our podcast for the first time in history The poor person has access to the most brilliant Business minds intellectual minds in the world through all these podcasts These conversations everything podcast youtube social media all of all that kind of stuff You would never have access but now or you'd have to read maybe their book You wouldn't even know who they are but now you have the most access in history So maybe there it is Maybe that's how a spark can get lit and somebody's a little bit less fortunate financially and they can you know Crack it up come with them.  Okay? Who is that?  That first of all that that question is too multi-layer Right It's so many things wrong with the system of america. You know what I mean? So it's just it's just It's that's too much of a multi-layer question. Can we fix it? Can we fix america? Honestly, I I don't I don't know because I don't know I mean only reason I say I don't know because I don't know if it's um But like this it's it's it's it's broken, but it's also working for the people who Designed it. So it's working perfectly.  That's what they would have those you say america's broken They just locked up the richest man in china the jack ma Is locked up. We maybe he's murdered. Maybe he's gone. Nobody knows what he was the richest man in china They said adio Sayonara, yeah, but but those are people who don't understand the insides out of america in a real way You know what I mean because and by the way, we're speaking from a place of absolute privilege We're speaking from a place of absolute Being good financially, you know what I mean? I tell people all the time Just just just come to any poor community, bro Whether it's the hood whether it's a rural area in the south Full of white people like nah, man The gap between the haves and the have not in america is Is really big and it's all the way fucked up and I just think that honestly man We got to come to the table and rebuild because the country was built On this thing called white supremacy It was it was built from a place of bigotry whether it's business whether you call it business or whatever it was It was not an all-inclusive thing. I say this all the time america advertises itself as an all-inclusive resort But it's not You know, I'm saying it's really for the elite I don't even think it advertises itself is that all inclusive means you get everything once you come here America's like nah, you gotta work for this and even if you work for it That shit might be tricky too. Let me ask you a question that result.  What if you saw what?  It's not what I paid for Exactly It's not what I paid for That's all I'm saying man.  Can I tell you something bro? Yes I was at this resort, bro. They were treating me so well, bro They were treating me so well shalom main, bro. It was it was actually amazing It was it was treating me so well, bro.  They were so kind helped me with absolutely anything I could possibly want. I love it I started thinking that they thought I was someone else I was like fuck. I think they think I'm someone else. Bro. By the way, we don't we go ahead go go go go I was gonna say we don't give the hospitality industry enough credit because there's certain places you go That's why I love going to anguilla anguilla is number one sorts of Economy is tourism. Yeah, you're at these places. Yeah, they they have to give you top-notch service Because that's how they make their money Bro, I'm telling you man. They were the the service was so elite. Bro. I started getting real anxiety That I was something I found out that because tourism has been hit obviously everybody's down tourism is down, you know most of these places and Last year they had Bruce Willis at the resort and this year they had Andrew Schultz so Last year they had die hard. Did they got try hard? She ain't working out. She ain't working out like they want it. Trust me.  They want to be listening to my calling going. Yep.
