They used to put these to dress dogs up his lines They used to dress dogs up his pit bulls so you on brand you on brand how was your weekend show see yesterday Was your b-day my b-day happy born day. Thank you, man. I think birth birthdays are stressful. Why I don't know I mean I've been thinking about it. It's a it's a weird. Yeah, it's a weird time I mean, it seems like a yeah, it's a weird time. Why I don't know. I had a lot of anxiety around my birthday Really?  Yeah. Yeah knocking on 40 bro. You had now. You have 39 years old Yeah, I think there's definitely like ages a component. I think it's also like a It's the only day a year where there's like an expectation of treatment Like every other day Go every you know I'm saying like every other day. There's no expectation of treatment, right? But on your birthday For whatever reason there's an expectation of people reaching out or saying something to you And I know it's complete arbitrary and irrational and I'm not like a I try not to be like sensitive about these things But I found myself getting caught up in it like oh did this person wish me happy birthday?  They have their own lives. They're doing these things but it was weird to have that kind of anxiety and I don't know anxiety but like Almost potential let down, you know and that doesn't happen me with any other day I know exactly what you mean, and it's the weirdest thing. It's weird how the human brain works, right? Because I feel like I'm very low maintenance like I would rather do for people Yeah, you know what I'm saying then actually be the person getting things done, right? Like it just makes me uneasy like I even spoke to my therapist about this like Receiving joy, you know what I mean or letting people do things for you Yeah, she broke it down about how you know, it's like trust issues, and I don't want to you know I don't I don't I don't want to be disappointed by people you know Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you have expect you shouldn't have any expectations for anybody Yeah, right, and you shouldn't expect you from other people So it's just like I would rather be the person showing the love then receiving it Yeah, but it's weird right because you say that until you don't get it you disappointed me You didn't come to my birthday. I sent you a bottle of wine. No, well, you're supposed to do that and come to my birthday But what's interesting about that is but but that's unfair because you have your life and you have the things that you need to do No, I'm just scared of them all It's just It's just literally like I want to go to show to the birthday with us at the mall But it's it's at a wave pool that I rented out that's a private. Oh, you didn't say that You didn't add all of that you did not say private you just said I'm doing it at this the surf place at the mall You did not say that this guy now you speak in my language here But here's a perfect example where it's just like I can't let like narcissism is the world revolves around you and everybody should Drop everything for you and then that's not narcissism. I don't believe that Well, we can debate that but I guess what I'm trying to say is like but this is a perfect It's like birthday is almost like lend themself to your narcissism It's like an excuse for narcissism when you should have the same I should go no people have things doing their lives if you had to do something you had my tail screen You had your tail screening like there are other things you had to do So there's this moment where I'm like I really wish my friend made it happen for this day But at the same time now you're making me feel bad No, but you see I'm saying because it's like this if it was just like yo Let's go surfing on a Saturday, right?   Yeah Dude, it's so weird and there's like a sliding scale of the things people do to wish you happy birthday That like make you feel good based on your expectations of them Like if it's a if someone who like I'm not very close to goes above and beyond my expectation was so low They went above and beyond I'm like so touched and like blown away But it's unfair that the people I'm closest to have to do something huge for me to be blown away That's unfair. I think birthdays are important though Because I think we're also tender on our birthdays like yeah, you're right Yeah, I never felt like this when I was younger about not at all. Oh, I get I'm crying on bro. I'm like literally like in tears and like I really do appreciate my people's Birthdays right like people I love and I care about and I think it is important to acknowledge like hey I know this is your day happy birthday and and and not just because of a social media post like nah, man Send some flowers. Yeah, send a bottle of wine. You know what I mean?  Because he didn't acknowledge it. Yeah, but is he not like wine does wife not like no, no I like the bottle of wine. It was a weird bottle, too. What was it? I don't know I Was called like prisoners or something. It was something like wrapped in chains. I was like, did you get this? I swear to God. I was like, I thought you literally got it from the till screening And then like sent it directly there. It was a weird choice. I just told my assistant. I said get him a nice bottle of wine Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't I don't believe you My wife sent me a picture of it. It was like shocking. I was like, okay But I do think that we should appreciate birthdays because man, we live in a world where yeah people are waking up dead every day Yes, you know what I'm saying and when you talk about 39 years old, I'm 44 What you know all the people that didn't make it to 39, bro I didn't get to 44 No, you're right But it also is cool because it gave me perspective on like what I need to do for people's birthdays Like this past year I've been going a little bit harder for people's birthdays But in the past like I never put anything on it because I didn't expect nothing from mine You know what I mean? Well and the finances change, right? That's also true. Yeah. Yeah. That's 100 But now I know that someone could be feeling That insecurity on their birthday and I know that I could help them with that By making that effort. I'm telling you right now. I know I feel insecure on my birthday. Why I don't know I don't know why at at the tender age of 40 because people could let you down It ain't it's not even just about the people with the fact that this is we're all getting older Yeah, yeah, this shit is not stopping for nobody. Yeah, I look at my daughter sometimes I'm like my daughter's 14 That's how I gauge my age now.   I was 29. I literally turned 32 days later. Yeah, her birthday is two days before mine. Yeah, I mean And so it's like I'm looking at her the oldest she gets the older I'm getting and I really do think about life Like now my my my perspective is different like when I was young think about how we used to look at like 30 and 40 like And that's holy shit. Yeah, but now I'm looking at 60 something I'm really looking at Steve Harvey and like All right, Steve 65 his kids are 20 something. That's fly to me some of his kids work with him. You know what I mean like that's What I'm looking at now But I think that that's why it's so important to have kids and I say this is someone who doesn't have kids yet But hopefully he's not soon, you know, I mean boys out here, but uh But like kids allow you to access You know the the the childhood Playfulness. Yeah that you need to access as an adult They allowed you to like they'll imagine they allow you to like retap in and uh, they I don't know they give you this like, uh I don't know this purpose like even look at like halloween.  You know why because I grew up johoba witness Yeah, I never got to celebrate halloween. Yeah, and now I'm 44 years old Wearing all the halloween costumes. I would have wore if I could have afforded them and if I was celebrated halloween I was black panther one year. Yeah, I was iron man one year. Now I'm goddamn sting from the wwe Yep, I know I was having this conversation with uh, jordan peterson. You know jordan peterson is yeah, he made uh, get up Yeah, yeah, yeah some of my favorite movies and uh, but we he was talking about that like uh You know we were talking about something like what's the absence of power to play and then we had a discussion about like the importance of Play right and uh, I think it's humans It allows us to prepare ourselves for the harsh things of life Like halloween is playing with death in its real inception It's death.   They have these like days of the dead Yeah, you know mexico. They had the uh, no mexico mexico.   Listen. I enjoy it. We're drawn to it It allows us to be brave in a safe environment right and we need that because we need to be brave in life So we got a practice being brave. Yeah, you made me think of something too when you were talking about the parents It's like man What were our parents going through that they did not play at all? But my parents didn't play I'm still 18 in my mind. Yeah So I'm still and maybe it's because of the the culture is kind of like similar because like even though my you know My oldest is 14. Yeah, I don't think there's ever been a time in our history where you've had a culture Which is hip-hop which is kind of like there's no age gap to it like my these kids are watching call it on Social media call is playful. Yes.  So it's like we got so many things in common of the music Yeah, like if I'm walking around the house saying, oh, you think you thought I was feeling you You know what I mean? Yeah, my daughter is telling me stop. Yeah, dad Because that's what the kids in her school is singing. So it's just like There's still a like a a connective tissue that I don't feel like we had with our parent I think yeah, that's why like our parents generation was a bunch of alcoholics Right because they came back from vietnam And there was no play anymore. They just saw absolute atrocities non-stop And it was like one of the worst things I've ever experienced. It's funny. There is nothing to laugh about I mean civil rights movement imagine what your folks are going through at that time It's like a horrible horrible experience. How do you play in that? But I'm lying, bro But if you look at like certain generations, there was a lot of play Man, you know, I got an aunt who's 80 years old My aunt that and I remember last summer They heard my aunt my my other aunt and my mom were having a conversation and she was like, I don't know. Nothing but no integration You know what I mean? She was I don't know. She said I don't know. Nobody knows what was it which was I don't know. Yeah, I don't know Nobody no integration. Yeah, but her whole time in school was Segregated. I'm like damn. Can you imagine that? Yeah, like and when you ask them What is changed they like nothing. Yeah, because they're already used to being In their own spaces. Yeah, I always wondered that like, you know, how like black people have made Their food so delicious despite it being like not the most desirable Parts of the food. Yeah, right then that's where soul food comes from, right? Do you think like the the black water fountains were were like Fire like not a what if I that's a great question I never thought about that That might be kool-aid coming like you don't know exactly what was coming out That makes a lot of sense, bro I'll just say black people have found a way to take whatever they've gotten and make it better No, I know it sounds like a joke, but I get what you're saying because I'm sure The black water fountains weren't as good But I'm sure it was something they did like yeah, like put a min on their tongue something I guarantee I guarantee or put or put the water in some type of jug and then added like a little bit of sugar too I'm I'm serious. I bet you something like that happened. I promise you they probably took the water home boiled it Then made it cooler. Who knows I think so. I've never thought about it. Um, what else happened this weekend, man? You saw the jay. Shout out to black excellence, bro. Oh, I'm just saying that's what y'all do You can't stop it. You can't stop it. It's impossible You definitely can't stop us. Um, you just watched the fight Do you think that there are white people trying to steal the black water found water? I think white people have been trying to steal from black people and steal black people forever You think it's the inception of time Okay, well, we didn't need to go there But 60 inception the time did you watch the fight? I did watch the fight. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I thought it was a great fight Was your did you pay $4.99 for it?  I ordered it downstairs and upstairs because my wife and sister-in-law was downstairs watching movies So I was upstairs watching the fight and I paid $4.99 on both TVs Yeah, I don't think you did bro. I don't know but I took a screenshot of the goddamn pictures So when the bill comes, yeah, and I think you signed up for showtime And you also paid for it. No, I got showtime. I got showtime Oh, I thought the fight was amazing and then I actually thought jake was gonna do it I posted about it. I thought he was gonna. I mean like not only does he knock him down in the eighth But he was the dominant force in the fight. There were times where sylva was putting on pressure Yeah, but an interesting thing about this fight if you watch sylva didn't feel comfortable exchanging at distance So he put on pressure and he kind of crowded him and he was throwing like uppercuts And the reason he did that i'm assuming is because he was concerned about getting hit So he wanted to crowd jake's punches so he didn't have the opportunity to being uh to to bust out that big right hand It did seem like for a moment. He wasn't afraid of paul's power at all No for the first few rounds. He wasn't afraid Because he got caught by some big shots and didn't go down that being said he wasn't exchanging at distance And sylva's a guy if you watch his fights when he was in mma He was beautiful exchanging at distance punching moving And I just think that he thought it was too costly.  What do you mean like they look intimate like it was like a boxing hug It was like a real hug like at the end birthday. No the whole time.  You had the opportunity to hug him just a little bit Of course, you know, I don't want I don't know if jake paul needs to fight a real boxer. Yo, I I tell jake this i'm like bro Stop trying to win over the hearts of like the people who are your haters anyway You never it'll matter if you beat canelo. They're gonna say oh canelo got off the steroid I can't even believe that's the example you use my point is an extreme My point is he could beat the best boxer ever and people are gonna find an excuse as to why he did it, right?   Exactly. They're gonna say yo, you're 200 pounds He's 150 pounds while you're fighting him So my point is stop trying to win over the haters and then just keep Enraging them fight like for example silva has had boxing matches.   I mean I mean even getting in the ring at the end of the fight and and Calling out canelo and Nate Diaz. It's amazing. I want Nate Diaz.    I'm letting you know that right now She should stop stop could you stop right now? How many how many guys he gotta beat before people go? All right, he's good. I'm not saying he's not good I'm just saying you're not beating canelo alvarez one of the greatest boxers of all time paper I 100% agree with that statement. Okay 100% agree with that same week on paper step curry.  I agree 100% on paper that being said I thought that floyd may or would knock out logan within a few rounds And then logan went the entire fight with floyd and floyd couldn't hurt logan at all I never thought I never thought floyd would well, you know what? I did think floyd probably knocked logan out but The size difference. Well now we're talking about size. We're talking about age. That's what happens every day I don't know if I ever said floyd would knock him out though. I said floyd was what I was thinking No, I thought just on points. I just thought he would finesse him Which he did we floyd fought like floyd and that's what I was trying to say when you're a big guy And you think you can get in that ring with one of these dudes like these are boxers They're skilled. They move around like you can't touch them Yes, was it impressive logan lasted I guess eight rounds with floyd sure on paper But I think we move into goalposts bro.  Uh, well, he's this It's it's constant moving the goalpost and at a certain point you're gonna have to say the dude Well, at least with jake hasn't lost and It has only been close once and then this one right here No, the tyron one, I think the first tyron fight was closer And then so it's only been close once and then the second time they fought Slap magic question. Logan is how big Six two six two what six 200 plus the heavyweight. Yeah This floyd made whether beat anthony josh will Anthony josh has been boxing as a professional. That's what I mean. Yeah, so somebody that size who actually Boxed logan's a vlog. Floyd's not even getting in the ring with You know what I'm saying 100% I I'm set weight matters What I'm trying to say is nobody was saying that before the fight I never thought logan had a chance.  Oh the peanut gallery is going Oh, it's gonna be over.  I was like, there's no way Yeah, I never thought I never thought floyd would knock logan out only because we haven't seen Floyd knock out anybody in forever So that never was my mindset. All I'm saying is gotta give some credit where credit is doing I'm listening. I here's the thing. I bought the jake paul anderson silva fight for one reason and one reason only I knew I would be entertained and it was entertaining. It was entertaining. Like it's just that simple for me Like I'm not looking Jake you have nothing to I don't know about everybody else people like me You don't got nothing to prove. I'm watching you for what you are.  You know what I mean? Even watching the silver fight.  Yeah, that second round. I was concerned the second round silver came on hard The reason I didn't uh think silver was gonna win though is because when I saw some of the blows He was landing on jake and jake was taking them. I'm like, he's alright and I don't jake never looked fatigued. Nope His cardio look good. Yeah, it's an eight round fight. It's not a 12 round fight And also, I don't know 12 rounds benefits silva. He's 47 years old. Yeah, you're right, you know, I'm curious about this Nate Diaz fight. I'm what weight are they gonna fight at to Nate has fought guys at 155 and 170.  There was one time when silver kept doing his leg up like that I'm like, man, sometimes just off muscle memory and reflect throw it.    Yeah, um salute the ditty uh I don't even know what this means anymore Did he becomes a billionaire? Okay, I don't know what that means anymore. Well, there's I don't know what that means anymore because you know, yeah, it's an about so what is it's an evaluation I guess his company's rocking Daily on and you know, everything else he got going on. I can't read that. I'm getting old What did that say according to a new report from former Forbes editor Zach O'Malley Jay-Z Is stuck with his spot as the wealthiest hip-hop artist in north america with a net worth of 1.5 billion Earlier this year. Yeah, it was in the second place in the list of hip-hop's highest earners with 250 million in earnings for 220 2021 But after Zoot, Adidas came to an abrupt end on account of his anti-semitic comments He slipped to third place of net worth. He was reportedly worth 2 billion at one point This year now Diddy is the second place spot after Trillium behind. Yeah in the past Okay, this is what I want to see Diddy Diddy is hip-hop's third billionaire with a net worth of 1 billion dollars history rock partnership With Diego is said to account for the bulk of his wealth But other assets such as Revolt and Daily on tequila have certainly helped last year. He made how much 90 90 million dollars I mean that makes sense. He's in the spirit business. Yeah, you know what I mean, but I mean a lot. This is all based off valuations of his company.  Did he he earned it God's been around forever. He's he's He's interesting because he loves halloween. You can tell it. It's like He's lives it he he made me Put on this really but I wasn't gonna dress up for halloween Yeah, and then I saw Diddy and it was like Diddy was Diddy was literally the essence of this day And it was and based off I don't know if I read it or saw it and something I was watching this weekend What he was talking about how like, you know, these days of the dead or these days are like days Where you just lean into your shadow you lean into the dark side and you just expressed it He did that with that Joker costume and it looks so freeing. I think I think oh say that again It just looks so freeing. I think The more strict your identity is in the real world The more you need Halloween or burning man, you know, he goes a burning man every year. Oh, wow You need these places where you can let loose and not be confined and I think that there is a mask off Exactly.  There's you if you go outside of the fray You could be chastised Yeah for anything for anything literally for anything like there's a I think it's changed over the years But I understand what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, so I can see why halloween is This liberating Holiday and so is burning man because you get to just act and behave in whatever way the character is Yeah, you know, it's freeing so I can see why he goes all in on something like this. Listen. I enjoyed it I enjoyed watching him. Please insert when he got into it with Michael Ferguson What was that about? It doesn't matter what it was about. It was entertaining what I think I think that two bit Uh, well, Michael Ferguson, I don't know if he knew that was did no, I don't think he did And I think that he ran I think probably did he ran up on him With syroch and daily on on his breath You know what I'm saying and was on his Joker shit and Michael clearly not in costume He like man, stop playing with me and then and then so yeah, yes So did he's like, yo, you got to know who I am.  I mean you can tell that he took at least five shots of daily on And seven shots of syroch before he left the house. Yo, he switched character so fast It was amazing. He went through before he went from puff the love to diddy to the joker back to love Can you play it Taylor? Oh, do we got some audio? You know why I love another reason I I enjoy diddy There's not a better character in hip hop did he got to be like top five characters ever in hip hop And when you there's not a time you're gonna meet diddy and don't get did It don't matter if you've been listening to him since the 90s The person you think he is on those records is the person you meet even at the tender age of 57 years old Really? Oh, this did he did he's got he's over a half a century. I know that but he's always Sean puffy combs Taylor you asked us to play it and you don't even have it ready Yeah, diddy's 52 That's okay Well, I He's just even even that right there. You can take that And chop that up and put it on your album later You can take that and put it on your mixtape or on your album later just those albums because like jadekiss got this song that I love called um Uh, man It's it's off the last album and he takes a clip of uh instagram rant did he did when he was like, you don't hustle You don't eat. You don't hustle. You don't eat.  I'll never hustle me.  Nigga, you don't hustle. You don't eat. You don't hustle. You don't eat, nigga Hustle harder. You're gonna never hustle hard as me.  I'm not mad. I'm disappointed Giving you the blueprint to get it out here and you don't want to do what it takes You want to stay on your instagram or they take motherfucking selfies and you ain't hustling hard hustle hard That was just an instagram rap, but it sounds so good on the album That right there is going to sound phenomenal on the album. Usually when somebody says do you know who I am?  Oh, you got it now. Tell me. Do you know who I am? Bro, I am. We so love, so love, bro. So love, bro. Yo, yo, yo, bro, so love. It's fucked. Come here. Give me a hug, though.  But I love you and we're together. We're stronger together.   No, I keep it I'm gonna tell you something. They're gonna stop giving you any words money. Why didn't someone told him it's Diddy? Now Diddy's realizing though, he didn't know I was Diddy. So now bro, so now bro. Yo, yo, yo bro, so now. It's Puff. Come here, give me a hug though.  Yeah, I don't think he realized it was Puff. But Diddy...  Robert Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Bob Johnson, the original Black lady in this country are just...  Alright? There's gotta be some billionaire etiquette, right? And it ain't even just the Black billionaires. The Elon Musk of the world. These new billionaires, man. Y'all gotta start moving the way OG billionaires used to move. How? Why? Why? I just feel like the etiquette was better. The etiquette was different.  You think? I think so. I hear people say that. I hear people say that, right? People say like, oh, you gotta do the most heinous things in order to make billions of dollars. You know such thing as a billionaire without a little blood on his hands. Do we really believe that? Yes. Why? Tell me why. The only way I don't believe it is if... I mean, what do you mean by proof? Because what did a tech guy do other than be a genius? That's the thing. So the tech guy...  What do you mean? What the oil guy did? What a family generation of oil. See, I think we need a little coup over there in Iraq. They got some oil. What about the oil people in Texas? What about people in America who got... Texas got oil right there? Oh, yeah.  I'm just saying. We say that. Oh, you gotta have some blood on your hands. Some people just have great ideas. And those ideas... Tech is different because it's all evaluation based. But I think any product... Like, if you create a product like whatever... I mean, I'm sure they're not billionaires, but let's say Coca-Cola. You made Coke. You made a soda. Coca-Cola is definitely billionaires. That's what I'm saying. It's like, I don't think... People with the Waltons who made Walmart. I don't think everybody who's made masses of amounts of money in this country has done something illegal. Well, look at Walmart. Like, how many different mom-and-pop stores that they probably put out of business? Now, I'm not saying that that's blood on your hands, but you are literally going into a market cutting every store in the market, losing money on products. You're literally seeing how much the other stores there, the mom-and-pop stores... Yeah. You're charging less and losing money knowing that they'll go out of business, and then you're raising the price. But you don't know the mom-and-pop that's going out of business. You're not... I don't think you care. Listen, I'm not saying this is like... I'm not trying to be, like, a moral about this. I'm not trying to be, like, ethical about this. I'm just saying to extract that much wealth, you're not exactly looking out for everybody. I don't think any of us are when we're on our path to do what we do. When you're out here and you're saying you want to be the best stand-up comic, actually, in your mind, you are saying, I'm about to slay all these motherfuckers.  Maybe you think like that when you're opening a wall. But they eat, too. I don't want them to not eat. Is that up to you, though? Not because it's different. If I'm them, if I'm the mom-and-pop, I'm seeing what Walmart is doing, and I'm saying, okay, how do we adjust to survive? I'm not looking at every other comic's touring schedule and I'm going, yo, book me the same weekend as that guy.  Like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't do that at all.  Nah! He's this guy, Alex. I don't think he does. I've watched him do it. Do what? Okay. Dave Chappelle dropped a comedy special. Yeah, I didn't do a tour with him. And he said, I'm going to drop me on stage free-starling. Oh, yeah. Because I know it's funny. But whose idea was that? No. Who? It was Alex?  It's going to be a back-to-back match between Andrew Schultz and Alex Media vs. Dave Chappelle and Don L. But that's different. That's just me being nice. You know what I mean? That's a different thing. That's just me being nice. That's completely different. What happens though, like, you know, sometimes artists want to drop their albums on the same day. Yeah. You know, I don't know if these big businesses is necessarily doing it.  And it's not like I'm aiming directly at the mom and pops. I'm aiming at everybody. Like, I'm establishing this business. We want to be number one in this space. It is what it is. Nobody's pure. Nobody's 100 percent right in anything.  That being said. Well, capitalism. Exactly. Just in general. Absolutely. Capitalism in this country is a fucked-up thing.  If you paid people what they were worth, you wouldn't make any money. And that's just the reality. I got to credit our... See? I'm getting better. I'm not going to say it. Bro, you are sweating, dude. It's crazy. Because I'm trying to commit to this costume. And it's white sweat. I'm trying to commit. It's like, is there paint on you? No. Can you give me a napkin, Taylor? Please. I'm trying to... It's right there. I'm trying to commit to this costume. Yeah. I'm trying to commit to this costume. Yeah, yeah. Taylor, buy past the thick hand towels to give me Kleenex. No, the hand towels. Can you worry about your skin? Thank you, Taylor. I started to say our fat friend, but I'm not going to say it. Oh, my God. Van Layton, our guy. Who we love. Right? Van. I'm trying to say it, but I'm not going to say it. What? Yeah. What?  I'm just trying to motivate him. How do I motivate him? I'm just trying to motivate him. Van, you got this, bro. Van said he's not doing the podcast until he loses weight. That is probably... Because he knows how our audience is. That's the smartest idea that I've ever heard one. That is. You're not worried about the audience, bro. You're worried about one guy. You. Charlemagne guy. You. Yes. You. I support your weight loss journey, Van. You. You got this, my brother. Trust me. You've done it before. You will do it again. Maybe. No, I wouldn't. This guy's an animal, bro. This guy. No, I love Van.  And Van's brilliant. But this might be the most brilliant thing I've ever heard Van say. Right. And I know I'm not going to break it down as eloquent as him, but he was breaking down the difference between value and worth. Ah. Nobody can ever pay you what you're worth. Like, your worth is infinite. Like, think about LeBron James when he played for the Cavaliers. LeBron James, when they said he left Cleveland, the economy of the city went down. Yeah, for sure. The Cleveland Cavaliers could never pay LeBron what he's worth, but they can pay him the highest value for a player of his caliber based off the business that they're in. That's why they have the max contract. Yeah, for sure. You know what I mean? And I think a lot of times we all sit down and we have these conversations like, I know my worth. I know my worth. Yeah, but do you know your value? Do you know what your value is, the said company you work for? Do you know your value to the industry you're in? But if the difference between value and worth, and I think that little change in language will save a lot of people a lot of disappointment because what I'm seeing right now is everybody having these know-your-worth conversations, know-your-worth conversations, know-your-worth conversations when the reality is you should know your value to whatever industry you're in. That's interesting. You know what I mean? Because if you go in there with worth, like, you can always feel disappointed. You can always feel like you're not getting what you're worth. Because they could never truly pay you what you're worth. But as long as, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they can pay you the top value, right? They can pay you what your value is. Like I said, man can bring it down way better than me, but I just think there's a difference between value and worth. And I'm watching a lot of people leave a lot of money on the table because they're not getting paid what they were. And they're watching what's happening with other people. And listen, two things happen in situations when people do deals and stuff. They lie, fudge the numbers a little bit. You know what I'm saying? And then other times they really do get what they say they got, but that's their value to whatever company they're in. I'm just talking in general. That's their value to whatever company they're affiliated with or whatever industry they're in. That might not be your value. Yeah, you might think you're worth $100 million. But the industry that you're in that is paying for your services might only be able to profit off of you if they're paying you $50 million. So are they going to lose $50 million by paying you what you believe you're worth? They're probably not going to do it. I don't think people understand that.  And I can't bankrupt my business paying you what you think you're worth. Because the reality is it's not about your worth. It's about your value. That's why it's very important to know everything. Know how much ad revenue not only your show might be bringing in or your station might be bringing in. What are you responsible for ad revenue-wise? When you can factor that in, then you probably know what your value should be. And look at what's going on in the industry that you're in. What is everybody else that's on your level or your caliber of show or personality getting? Yeah. You know? Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Let's pay some bills, man. Let's do it, bro. Slute to Squarespace.

Nothing, man. Nothing, man. Talk to me.   Yeah, I'm working on it. I'm getting back up on stage, so that's been fun. But it's got to be, you know, you can't rush. You can't rush. Greatness. Greatness, man. Nah, I'm with you. It's got to be and purity. Like, I think there's a lot of people that just rush it back out because they want to be back on tour or do or fulfill the desire that kind of stuff where it's like, I want to make something special that is better than the last thing that you saw. Every time you come see it, it's got to be the best show ever. So there's pressure that comes with that. But like, for me, I don't want to just make something an hour. I want to really make sure that each piece and bit kind of blends together and that takes time. So in the meantime, you're just doing your movie thing? So yeah, I'm filming, yeah, filming this movie and I'll go back out there tonight. I told you, I was, where was I at? Oh, Ad Week. I did a panel for Ad Week a couple of weeks ago. And one of the agents there my man, Oren, he was like, yeah, man. See, man, you know, I know somebody who's I guess, I don't know if he's working on the movie that you're doing. He was like, he's saying, show just stealing the whole moon. I promise you, that's what he said to me. I mean, that's cool, man. That'd be really cool. That'd be really cool, but yeah, but that's big. Every Thursday night, 11 30, hell of a week on Comedy Central. Make sure you tune in this Thursday. I forgot who's going to be on the show this week.

Chris Monroe is in here right now. Make sure you get some of 85. That's our latest project that we put out on SPH Audible. That's me and Kevin Hart's company on Audible. It tells the story of the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia with the bombing of the move organization as well as the live eight concert that happened in Philadelphia. So, so check that out. Twitter. We could tell you. I think I have. Oh, you got what? Let me see who I got this week on hell of a week. Thank you, Taylor. Thank you, Bruno Mars. Oh, this week we have, oh my God, Donnell Rollins. Why do we book Donnell? Why? Why? Why? Why? Can we change the booking? Jesus Christ. Nice to have you, solar dad, but Donnell. Just sitting here thinking how I can ruin Donnell's life on national television. Yup, yup, yup. What can I do to ruin Donnell's life on national television? I will think about it and get back to you. All right.  Let's do it. I'm sure it has something to do with Kanye West. Yes, it does.  It was nine years ago, man. I was, you know, a different person. Yeah, yeah. It was nine complexions ago. That's how you got it. That's how you got it. You know what's so funny? Whenever an old video comes out of some old content, I just go to it. If I got a dog face, I'm like, I don't even need to listen. I don't even care. I'm like, they're right. Whatever they say, they're right. That was a wild boy. Right? Okay. So now everybody's going saying that like, yo, Charlemagne was saying the exact same thing. He's criticizing Kanye for Now, what are your thoughts on that?  Right? Like me saying that is a fact. That's a lot of black players in the NBA. That's a fact. You know what I'm saying? But if I say, hey, you know, there's a lot of Jewish people in Hollywood and the music industry and they control the messaging and, you know, they're responsible for all the negative content that goes out. And, you know, they're manipulating the media and this and that.  Why am I sitting here having conversations when we have a Jewish man in the room that can explain it better than me? Well, a well researched Jewish man who's still wearing masks for no reason. Here we go. Here we go, Chris. It's the Jew minute with Chris Morrow. Yeah. It is true. Jews founded Hollywood as we know it today. And the reason is because there was no film industry in the 1920s and a lot of Jews were shut out of were the time traditional, you know, I don't think they were even called media there, but entertainment. Yeah. And most of the, I think a lot of the founders of the Hollywood studio were like furriers, you know, like people who sold furs because at that time men were fur hats and fur jackets and that was the big thing that Jews were involved in. And they went out to Los Angeles and they started this industry. So from that alone, you know, it makes sense that they're still, you know, well represented in it because they essentially started it. I was watching an Adam Sandler sketch from SNL back in the day called Hanukkah Hollywood or something like that. Yeah. And the whole sketch was literally based on the large amount of representation of but when you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree. Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me. But it's okay. I don't think there's any issue with having like a large amount of representation. Yeah. I think the issue is saying that one, they control the media. Yeah. Saying they control every industry in the world and they're responsible for all the evils in the world. Control the banks. Yeah. That's what it is. That type of messaging. But being part of an industry that they helped start that's like saying like black people starting soul food. It's like, yeah, you should be overrepresented in soul food. That's right. Huh? Well, no, you should. I don't know if we are, but we should. But you should be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. And also too, it's like, here's the thing that people keep forgetting and it's weird, right? But I think you had a lot of different conversations going on. Yeah. Are we kind of threatened? That's that's what the issue is. The DEF CON 3. Well, DEF CON 2. Now that's debatable because DEF CON is not about attack. It's about defense. It's still a millet. It's still ready for war.   That's my point. Yeah. But the point is that he's acting as if there's this one religion and group of people that has control of the media and is using that media for nefarious intent.  It's using that media to control narrative and using that media to currently in this moment destroy his life. He's destroying his life. There's no accountability. This is what he's doing to himself. What if anybody else said the things that he said about any other group they too would be canceled. What I saw in that video that everybody's tagging me in is you saying that there are people that are out there trying to protect themselves from hate.  That's what I understood from that video. I literally said in the video that it just was nine years ago. I do have a slightly different take on it now, but I said that I feel like we don't have an organization that has that kind of power. I specifically mentioned the NAACP. Right. You know what I mean? That could write a letter to a company and demand something. But here's the thing. I might have been a little off on that because I don't even know if it's about the organization having the power. It's just the organization doing it as Frederick Douglass said. Power concedes nothing without a demand. I think that's the one thing that we're all forgetting about everything that's been going on in the past couple of weeks. Jewish people organized and strategized. They had petitions. They had the Anti-Defamation League writing letters. They had people like Aria Manuel doing op-eds and different things. And they were actually asking for something. So when you hear black people say, oh well how come this corporation didn't drop Kanye because of his anti-black did we ask them to? I wouldn't expect a corporation that's got to be super confusing, right?  This is like we can put the deal under review but what do we do with this? It's like listening to black people say the n-word at the job. It's like what do we do? Yeah, it's not your conversation. That's it. I mean it's easy to talk to a white person for saying the n-word. You know that's wrong. And it happens all the time? Happens all the time. You know what I mean? But it's just like when you get in that from a black person it's like what are you supposed to do? And then when I saw Kanye, you know you know compare his situation to George Floyd, man. Bro. He now he now know the Jewish media foot is on my neck. He now knows what it feels like to have a knee on his neck. It's like yeah my brother Your knee is on your neck. How about this? This is all self inflicted. Simple as that. Yeah. 100%. It's all self inflicted.  Mine is the forget the Vlad TV clip. That was just that's just people reaching right. I saw them also went viral from us talking about the fact when I said you know I hope that this is the time that Kanye actually goes out there and gets some real healing. Well they said you don't know if he's going to be here. Yeah. I said I feel like like a person who's not going to be here. Yeah. Right. I hope that this is what it takes for him to actually hurt people like you always say man. They do. And I hope that this is what helps him to go find some real healing because clearly he's hurting right. And I just I don't see this ending well. You know I feel like he's moving like a person who doesn't feel like he's going to be here much longer. How long how much longer? I'm not I'm not even doing that.  No I'm not. Any psychotherapist any therapist can look at a person and say that say man this guy is having a manic episode in front of everybody. You know it's funny though. Manic episodes don't end well. I saw people in the comments. That's like Kevin Durand the comments like this is an awful conversation these people are having. It's like yo go do something then. Know them and help them. What is your comment doing to help? Why do we love car crashes? Why do we do this? How come when we see something bad happening we do this? We do this.  Bravo. KD. The way that you pointed that out. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. So helpful to Kanye in the situation. So helpful to the Jewish community. What an amazing contribution to this catastrophe that we have. People are like oh that was amazing. What is disgusting about saying I hope somebody gets the healing that they need and we're literally I'm looking at a man who's moving like he feels like he's not going to be here much longer. This is what talk to any therapist talk to any psychiatrist we're watching a manic episode in real time. This is what they do. Yeah. They start self-sabotaging giving things away don't care if they lose things and it's just like we're watching this in real time. And everybody's just we're just going to sit around and wait until something bad happens to be like man I didn't see that coming like this video right here all of these people sitting around applauding him going yeah Kanye yeah Kanye yeah. No how about yo stop Kanye Kanye let's go get some help man. It's too much money to be made off of him which is I'm sure why he's so hurt is because he is this person that you can profit off of and so many people have probably used him throughout his life and he's choosing to pinpoint one group with that frustration but I'm sure it's not one group I'm sure wherever he was he was being quote-unquote user taken advantage of he's also one of the richest people in history so I don't know how much he's taken advantage of but it's weird to me even when I hear him say you know we got to make sure these contracts are fair on one out of one breath you're saying these contracts aren't fair we need to see all the contracts then on the other breath I was the richest black man in America. Yeah. So which was it? What about your artist what do you want to see bro?  His excuse for that was why I didn't run my label?
