If Doomsday only gives us one Spider-Man and it's Toby, it's a let down. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> It's a little let down. >> No, you were going crazy. I did a deep dive on Spider-Man. I just want to let you know I had a couple drinks on when we >> Oh, you went to go see it. >> Which one? >> Brand new day. >> Yeah. >> What you think? >> Oh, I didn't see it the last time we spoke. >> Yeah, you was gone.

When I was flying out to LA, I watched the one No Way Home. >> Fire. >> It's good. >> Fire. >> What's your favorite part of No Way Home? If you're being honest with yourself, >> of course, it's when the reveal happens and when [ __ ] Toby comes through the portal and [ __ ] Andrew Garfield. >> Who you mention first? >> Toby. Cuz he came through first, didn't he? >> No. AND BUT YOU REMEMBER IT LIKE YOU DID. >> WELL, I I REMEMBER HOW HE DIDN'T COME THROUGH FIRST. >> I REMEMBER he didn't have an outfit on. I'm like, "What the [ __ ] Toby? Who the [ __ ] do you think you are? >> That's why he didn't announce he was Spider-Man. True or false? >> He's Asian crazy, though. >> See, this is the hate unnecessary. >> I'm starting to think that Toby might have smashed one of your girls back in the day cuz this is the type of energy that you're giving right now. >> Yo, that'd be fire if Spider-Man smashed your girl, right? >> You don't think he webbed one up? >> That's what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? You be like, "Yo." She'd be like, "Yo, he squirted some white sticky stuff on me." And you be like, "Are you sure it was come? But you know that's the metaphor, right? >> What? >> For Spider-Man. >> What? >> The whole thing about Spider-Man is just going through puberty. >> Huh? >> Like the character is based on going through puberty. >> Oh, that you can see that in the new one. The brand new day. That's You know what? That's why no one understand why Soulja Boy said Superman. Spider-Man would have made way more sense. >> Superman is because you nuted her back and the sheets attached to it. So she got a cape. >> Nobody's doing that. >> That is true. You know what I'm saying? It's way more Spider-Man. You shooting white sticky white stuff all over her. You know what I'm saying? >> You know what I mean? It could be organic. >> You know what I mean? You ever seen the uh the the Spider-Man porno where the guy got the dildos on his wrist? >> You looking up Marvel porn? >> [ __ ] Just be on my algorithm. Yo, >> nah. You >> Yo, you a You better look that up. >> You a nerd, bro. [ __ ] be on my algorithm. You know my favorite [ __ ] on my algorithmic porno. >> Somebody does these vertical dramas, these micro dramas, and it's called fruit prison. >> Oh god. >> Fruit prison had me in a chokeold. >> What's straight prison then? >> What makes it? >> I knew you was going to think something like that. It's actual fruits in prison. >> So it's like apple, banana, orange, watermelon. They're all locked up. Watermelon is the protagonist. He's like the big [ __ ] diesel ass villain. Apple is like a good guy, but he got locked up for some [ __ ] so he's trying to get out. This [ __ ] is actually really good, y'all. >> This is [ __ ] >> They created a monster. Apple won that fade, but I'mma get my lick back on my mama. Oh, sorry. I don't know what you've heard, newbie, but this my prison. >> He's moving on demon time, cu. You ain't doing nothing, C. I'm trying to get out of here, homie. Can't afford to be fighting. >> After reviewing your conduct, your request for early parole is denied. Damn. Oh, you thought you was coming out. YOU GOING TO DIE IN HERE ON MY MAMA. >> OH, I got my people on the outside dealing with lemon. >> Pack your stuff, inmate. You're a free man. I tried to do the right thing and look where it got me. >> Yo, did you hear? Watermelon's getting released here. >> Welcome to freedom, Sy. Thanks for getting me out, bro. I got you on my mama. >> Just lay low for a while. We'll get everything in motion. Yo, AI slot. It might work out for people like that. >> Listen, >> that's how I like my AI. Make me a nice little twominute micro drama that I'm just flipping through like, "Oh, that's actually good." >> Yo, if you go back to jail, are you gay? >> Depends what you go back for. Did you go back just for the [ __ ] >> That's what I'm saying. Like, if you know what happened in jail, and then you go back. What if you go what if you go to jail, get some head from a guy, get out, try to go back the [ __ ] and you like, nah, >> I can't I can't I got to steal. >> You know what I'm saying? >> I got to I got to rob a bank. They're like, "Yo, get like get off the corner. They going to catch you." I'll be good, bro. I got this. >> You know what pirates call treasure, right? >> Booty. >> You know why? [ __ ] >> Yo, it's Somali. You're gay, bro. LISTEN. YO, SOMALI PIRATES, Y'ALL ARE GAY. Y'all are so gay. Morning. Booty. Gay. Booty. What we got? Taylor gang. You okay? We just here. We just potting. >> We're just potting, man. >> Potting. >> Salt water booty. >> Clearly. All right. >> You know they got a [ __ ] delicacy called pirate booty. >> That is fact. >> They sell it in stores. >> Popcorn in a bag. Can I ask you this question though about um Marvel Spider-Man the whole the whole universe? >> Yep. >> After watching the latest Spider-Man, did it make you want to go back and watch some of the other Marvel films? >> No. >> Interesting. >> None of them. >> Interesting. >> Not Not one of them. I'm not even looking forward to DOOMSDAY LIKE THAT. >> WHOA, >> THAT'S CRAZY. >> I'm They got me with the latest one. >> Oh, they got me with the latest one. I'm watching. I'm not saying I'm not watching. and I'm going to watch I will be in theaters on December 18th or 19th to watch. I'm simply saying there's no anticipation. There's been no buildup because the the the Last Marvel phase wasn't that great. Like >> I feel like they completely Go finish. >> It wasn't that great. Like I've been saying it a million times on this pod. After Endgame, they should have came back with the Mutant Saga. Now we on a whole other earth. They could have gave us the Fantastic 4 movie. We on a whole other earth. They could have gave us the Spider-Man, the No Way Home, cuz that is also talking about the multiverse. They could have gave us Doctor Strange, Multiverse of Madness, all the TV shows and all that [ __ ] We ain't none of that. I guess Loki, Loki, Loki, Loki, we needed Loki, I guess, to do be connective tissue. But that would have made even the homework you got to do to watch some of these movies easier because if they only gave us like W division and Loki, just those two shows, Marvel fans would have watched those. So, everybody would have been caught up. And then by now we'd have been ready for like the multiverse and incursions and all of that [ __ ] like that. There's been no real buildup for this [ __ ] Like >> my feeling is like Doomsday just erases all the [ __ ] that they put out that no one gave a [ __ ] about. >> But Doomsday is too strong of a villain for them to just be fighting. You remember in the first phase they had nice warm-up fights. It was Loki, right? Then it was Ultron. Then you got the [ __ ] then it was each other. They had to fight each other, right, in the Civil War. Then you got the Thanos and everybody, right? That's what you got to do before you get the Doom. You don't just give me Doom. Give me Let me [ __ ] up Kane first. >> Like Andrew said, >> it's a a race from what we tried to do after Endgame. >> Continuation. >> Continuation. So now this is after Thanos, >> and that's the perfect >> What do you do with Doom and [ __ ] Galactis? You've introduced two of your strongest villains. Mhm. And you and what do we do from here? What do we go from here? Fight him. >> Got to see >> Doom and Galactus. What? I guess Apocalypse for X-Men. >> We got to see. We got to see. >> How do you know it's actually Doom? >> No, definitely do. >> I don't. You're right. >> It's definitely Doom. >> I don't know. Yo, and think about how ill would know there's two Dooms. >> Yo, think about how ill it would have been if we would have saw >> Iron Man's coming back. Sorry to interrupt, but Iron Man. I think Iron Man. >> Well, you could you could come Doom Doom ended up being uh what was it? Ultimate Iron Man or Invisible Iron Man. I can't remember. But think about this. Imagine watching the Mutant Saga, watching the Fantastic 4 movie, watching Spider-Man No Way Home, watching Multiverse of Madness. And after it ended a couple of movies, just like you how you saw a little bit of Thanos, you just saw Doom watching the whole thing. And now it makes sense when Doom come back and like all of y'all been living lives that were [ __ ] stolen. >> Yeah. But they didn't have the rights to the X-Men after Endgame. No, they didn't. When they get those back rights back like 2 years ago. >> No, it's been longer than that. >> No. Swear to God. >> No. No. I'm telling you. It's been longer than two. It's been longer than two. >> Four. >> Yeah, it's been longer than two. It's definitely been longer than two. What else? Taylor, what we got, Taylor? >> What the [ __ ] do we have? >> Huh? >> All right. Well, just since we're talking about Marvel, I saw something that was they made all the cast of Black Panther whitewashed, and I thought that was funny. >> AI helped whitewash Marvel's Black Panther in his comedy. >> In a world of mayonnaise, you're right. >> Yeah, it was a while ago. >> Cupcake. >> Oh, why haven't they integrated? >> One legend was erased from Hold on. >> Not because she was weak. That is Juno. Things got weird. >> Crazy. >> This is what a man looks like, ladies. And I'm a black panther from the waist down. >> Anytime I see something of value from the EBW, who's that? >> I'm compelled to take it. >> Oh, yeah. That's the >> I must have it like Zenaia. >> Thomas Kill manga is hilarious. >> Real men watch the WNBA Monica. Don't make me slap the [ __ ] out of you. A beautiful name until now. >> Mommy, am I a real boy now? >> You can't make Nemo's potato salad without raisins and fresh raccoon meat. You idiot. >> A single >> What the [ __ ] is this, man? >> Betrayal. >> That's what they building a data center for, bro. driven by death. >> Yo, build more data centers, man. They [ __ ] know who they're [ __ ] with choice has led to this moment. >> I'm a boy, so I can technically have my shirt off whenever I want. >> This isn't the birth of a hero. >> It's the return of a legend. >> I told my wife, I said, "Yo, you know that was Uno in Odyssey?" She was like, "Duh." >> In a world of >> That's pretty good. That's funny. That's who's Lena Dunham supposed to be? >> Now look at Jerry with the bowl in his lip. That's insane, bro. That is insane. >> That was good. That was good. What else we got, Taylor Gang? >> Um, >> what else we got, Taylor Gang? Gang. >> Um, people were making fun of how Ice Cube danced for some reason. >> Godamn Ice Cube. Taylor, here's the thing. >> No, >> I don't want this meme, though. I don't want anything that makes you laugh. >> Be high as [ __ ] >> Okay, but this we're potting. >> We're just potting. >> They can't even see this stuff. >> Yo, why are they so angry at at uh Sophie Cunningham for trying to maintain job security? >> I thought we talked about this already, man. Somebody sent me I didn't even know somebody sent me a lower third yesterday. It was Fox News and it says Charlamagne the God says trans issue is dumb. I'm like, oh my god. Somebody just sent me this [ __ ] >> What they said? >> I thought Schultz was here when we was talking about it. >> No, Lauren. What is it? >> It was Lauren. I swear me and >> talking about I wanted to bring this up, but >> see Charlamagne dumb for Dims to debate transports. It is stupid. It's just a stupid culture war conversation. That's a point. It's actually pointless cuz there's nothing there. What are we even debating? What are people arguing at this point about trans [ __ ] in the WNBA. >> I don't know. >> I DON'T KNOW EITHER. NOBODY [ __ ] KNOWS. You know why? Cuz soon as the conversation starts, people veer you off in something that has nothing to do with the conversation. >> Like, what do they say? >> Do you think biological men should play in the WNBA? If you were born a biological man and you're trans now, should you be playing the WNBA? >> Yeah. >> All right. >> The floor is yours. The floor is yours. >> I mean, you already know my joke about this. I forgot. Um, it >> I want women to know what white people went through when we let black people play sports. >> Shut the [ __ ] up. Complete dominance. >> Oh, can they run faster and jump higher? Oh, NO. OH, quality sucks, doesn't it? >> When you create arbitrary rules that allow you to compete, >> that'll change everything. That'll change everything. This [ __ ] will change so [ __ ] fast. People will stop this stupid [ __ ] as soon as they see somebody come out there and average 52 points, 27 rebounds, and no assists a game cuz they don't have no reason to pass the [ __ ] ball. >> They will have no reason to pass the ball. >> 100%. >> I don't want that for nobody, man. I just think it's a stupid discussion. It's just dumb to get caught in a culture war at a time like this. The midterms are around the corner. Democrats should take back everything if they just shut the [ __ ] up. >> But they can't. >> Is that not crazy? >> Shut the [ __ ] up, Charl. >> Is that not [ __ ] crazy? >> How you blowing layups? >> How do you blow [ __ ] layups? This is not even something to discuss, right, >> brother? >> You got Hakeim Jeff on Meet the Press saying he's not for Medicare for all. Just to be very clear though, as a Democratic leader in the House, would you vote for or against Medicare for all? >> I think as you've uh indicated in your question to me, it's not legislation that I currently am co-sponsoring or that I support. >> Like, just shut the [ __ ] up. >> Okay, shut up, man. What do you what do you want them to say about the trans issue? >> Nothing. There's nothing to be said about it. >> I thought Coco Golf had a good thing to say about it. >> The tennis player. >> Yeah, >> I saw it, but I didn't pay no attention. >> I thought it was like very well >> articulated. She did. I don't like that cuz I hear people talk and they're tiptoeing around landmines. >> No, she didn't say that. She was like, "Keep these mutants out of my game." >> She said that. Really? She said that. >> You didn't hear that? >> No. >> Oh, I thought you called them mutants cuz they were ex-Men. >> I was like, "What the [ __ ] was that?" That's where I thought she was going. >> You want to go again? >> Let's set it up again. Yeah, let's set it up again. I thought Gooff had something really good to say about it. >> What did she say? She said something like, "Keep these mutants off my tennis court." >> Why did she call them mutants? Cuz they're ex-Men. >> Let's hear what Coco had to say. What did Coco say? Yo, >> we just lost two minutes. >> No, we didn't. WE CAN. THAT'S A JOKE. >> THAT WAS FIRE. >> LISTEN, EQUALITY is equality. We can't joke. Those are jokes. Come on, guys. Cut it out. nothing was. Let's hear what she had to say. >> The reasoning behind it, I do think that this kind of conversation is created a lot of animosity towards um the trans community, which I'm not really a big fan of, but I also understand the need to >> I guess the biological difference and the need to protect that and pres preserve that. I guess kind of agree with trying to protect the the fairness in in women's sports, but I also do not like the attack that it is creating. I definitely support the trans community, but I also support the need of creating fairness in sport. >> You know what's crazy? You know who I haven't heard in this conversation? >> Trans people. >> Yes. Who where where are the >> Have you talked to any Have you talked to any about it? >> No, but where are the trans people clamoring to be in the WNBA? I haven't even heard LIKE WHERE WHY WHY IS this a discussion? It's so stupid. >> Every trans person that I've talked to I've asked about the sports issue. I go what do you think about the thing? And everyone has said the exact same thing independently. >> We have way bigger issues than sports. >> Mhm. >> It's not even in our top 10. They're all like, "We don't want to get killed when we go out on a date. We want to be able to rent an apartment from somebody without them finding out we're trans and not wanting to rent for this is like a huge distraction from the real issues that we have in our life and actually makes our life harder. >> That's America. America does not know how to talk about macro issues. We focus on the [ __ ] micros. The [ __ ] that don't even [ __ ] matter. Once again, where are the trans people on this? Like I I haven't spoken to any trans people about this, nor have I seen any trans people speaking out about this. But the reality is it's not really even about it is about them, but it's not about them. >> No, it is a stupid culture war that people are getting folks caught up in a conversation just so they can continue to say, "Look, we're the common sense party and they're still talking about [ __ ] >> Exactly." >> You know, >> exactly. >> They don't know the difference between men and women or women and men. Like, this is this dumb [ __ ] Like, it's like, what are we talking about here? Yo, shut up. >> No, it's people on the right want to be like, "Look how ridiculous people on the left are. They'll defend anything and they're not locked in reality, but people in the left fall for it every single [ __ ] time. >> Why? As if there's not. >> You could literally say what >> you could say that there's a lot of animosity and hatred around this issue, which I don't like. I don't disagree with, but I also believe in, you know, maintaining the fairness in sports and fortunately that we have to do that by allowing, you know, people are born that gender, born that sex, whatever. >> Or you can say, I identify as a >> who's stopping the WNBA from saying that. >> Saying what? They had they had to have a meeting. >> They had to have a meeting about uh >> They did. >> And they're like booing Sophie Cunningham at every [ __ ] stadium she goes to. >> It's like crazy. But it's also great for the league. >> To the WNBA. Did you see what Don Staley said about the WNBA and racism? I thought that [ __ ] was great cuz she was absolutely positively right. >> They're post-racist. >> No, she said it's a right of passage. Hold on. I'mma get her exact quote. She said it's a right of passage. And she said the same thing happened in the [ __ ] NBA. Uh, and she said we'll be okay. Hold on. >> I kind of I agree with that. >> Yes. Hold on. Let me see if I can find the exact quote. >> But you think there's racism that's existing now in the WNBA? >> In the WNBA, >> like towards Caitlyn Clark. >> I think it's racism period. I think Caitlyn, Sophie, I think it's it's racism towards the black women who people think for whatever reason are jealous and envious of Sophie. I think that these girls can't even go out there and play basketball without people making it a race issue. Cuz if you do a hard foul on a Sophie Cunninghammer or a hard foul on a Caitlyn Clark, it's racism. Even though you watch [ __ ] Angel Reese and other players get body slammed to the [ __ ] ground. >> I don't think that's the I think the argument is like why is Caitlyn Clark listed as like the 11th best guard in the league? Why was she left off the national team? Like I think those are the things >> who got left off the national team? >> Didn't uh didn't Caitlyn get left off the uh >> No, she's on the team this year. No, last time. Last year. >> That's not That's not surprising. Put it like this. Olivia Miles isn't on there this year and Olivia Miles is smoking [ __ ] She's a rookie and she's in WNBA U MVP conversations. Uh Caitlyn got left off I think her rookie year if I'm not mistaken. That was the last time they had a national team, right? Or am I making that up? >> I think cuz last year she was hurt. But Don Stell said all the big pieces and all the things that are happening from a racial standpoint, from an officiating standpoint are great. They're great because the NBA went through it. The NBA went through all of it. So, this is just badges of honor. Will we get through it? We will get through it. Yes. Okay. Listen to Don Staley and Don we [ __ ] trust. All of this is great for the league. My problem is that the WNBA don't know how to market this [ __ ] >> It seems like they're doing a good job of it. >> Nah, that's social media. Like, they don't know how to lean into it. Like, they're not leaning into any of this. >> So, what would you do if >> the way that they should? Um, I wouldn't I wouldn't cry about it. You know what I mean? I wouldn't I I would let it play out and let the girls, the women have honest conversation about things that are going on in the WNBA. I remember phone calls with Isaiah Thomas and Isaiah Thomas would say [ __ ] like, "If Larry Bird was black, he would >> a regular player." >> A regular player. >> Rodman said it too. That was the big moment in the NBA. They had to get past that. >> Say that. >> Which was ridiculous. How many rings did uh Larry have? >> Three. >> No, he had more than three. He might have had. >> Nah, Larry got three. >> Larry, bro got three. I keep track of white people now. >> How many rings? How many rings Isaiah have? >> Two. >> Back to back with the Pistons, baby. >> You don't get to talk. >> N cut you wild. You >> You don't get to talk. >> N. >> Only three for Larry. >> What you mean only? Three is great. >> If you got less rings than the number one guy, If you're the number one guy on your team and you got less rings than the number one guy on the other team, you really don't get to talk. >> N. Tell me why I'm wrong. >> Zeke went back to back and he beat the Celtics. That was a different time, bro. >> Isaiah was a great great great player. Bird was on a different level. >> Yeah, I know that >> for sure. But still, Zeke won backto back titles in Detroit. >> You don't get to say that Bird nobody would talk about if he was black. >> If he won three NBA championships as the best player in his team, he won every single level. He won college. >> He had one. >> He had won three yet. >> It was hate. Everybody knew it at the time. It was They were hating on him. And >> he hated on Jordan, too. He's just He's just a hater. >> Was that hater? >> He's a hater. Is an observation guy. >> Isaiah a hater, man. >> By the way, Larry Bird was good for the NBA. The Larry Bird Magic Johnson rivalry was good for the NBA. It was Man, I saw a [ __ ] ad the other day where Magic Johnson and Larry Bird was backto back, cheekto straight up. And I'm sitting there thinking to myself, god damn, this was the 80s. And think of all of the diversity that we had. I'm going to show you this [ __ ] You >> talking about the Converse ad? >> Yes. This [ __ ] checked off A LOT OF BOXES. YOU GOT A BLACK MAN. Let me show it to you, man. I can't believe you've never seen this ad. >> Hold on. God damn it. Where is this [ __ ] at? >> You could have caught it. >> Nah, this is before Magic had it, man. What's wrong with you? >> You don't know when he got it. >> Nah, this is before Magic had it. >> You don't know when he got it, bro. >> What are you talking about, man? >> You don't know when he got it. You tried to You tried to find out. I didn't find out. >> Why wouldn't I try to find out? Why do y'all sit with people and ask not ask the obvious questions? >> I mean, that's one we all want to know. >> Pull up that Converse ad when Magic and Larry are back to back, cheek to cheek. >> Yeah. Here it is. Choose your weapon. >> And it says, "Choose your [ __ ] weapon." >> Hold on. You got Oh, here it go. Here it go. Look at this [ __ ] Tell me this is not a What the [ __ ] man? I just had it. Tell me this not a diverse ad. Yo, is that not diversity? >> Why their cheeks? >> A black man and white man back to back. >> Yo, Larry kind of got more cheeks than magic, man. I'm not going to lie. >> He do. He do. He do. Larry, I was thinking this was Photoshop, but I like they didn't have Photoshop back in his head. Somebody might have did this picture Photoshop. Ain't no way they had it like that. Yo, >> that's why they post game used to be so crazy. Yo, they back you down with that [ __ ] You got to play Juvenile. Back that ass up while this [ __ ] playing. Yo. Yo, Larry was stacked for a white boy. >> Yeah, he was. >> Look at that thing. >> You see this [ __ ] Taylor? Taylor started smiling when she saw [ __ ] Larry. >> You excited? >> That [ __ ] say choose your weapon. Talking about basketball or cheeks. >> And you know there was a photographer was like a little closer. A little closer. >> I'm thinking in both of them. You got that. They tall. I'm thinking in both of them. The crazy thing is think about the diversity in this ad. White man, black man. They're cheek to cheek. So, you know, they not homophobic in any way, shape, or form. You know what I'm saying? >> Which weapon would you choose? >> Well, I feel like they're sticking their butt out, too, though. >> Nah, they just built different. >> What did the photographer tell them? >> Not a photographer be telling you to do. >> That's what I'm saying. Like, yo, get a little closer. There you go. There you go. There you go. >> Like, like post each other up, but from the back. >> Yeah. Put one cheek in between the other. Like you act like you posting them up and then you act like you posting them up and just let your cheeks touch. >> That's crazy. >> Oil up your ankles. Let your cheeks touch. >> How do you remember certain things? Like >> how can you FORGET THIS? YOU GOT SEE, Y'ALL don't remember. See, Mono, y'all y'all y'all don't remember monoculture like I do. Yo, this is all we had. >> I was literally talking to the guys today about this. Like, I miss monoculture so bad. >> When everybody knew everything. >> No, it Well, yes, but it was >> three networks. It's It wasn't everybody knew everything. It's that we all only knew a few things. >> You even if you didn't know it, you knew the references. >> You knew you were aware of it. >> I I didn't even have to watch certain [ __ ] to know if people were referencing. >> It's so funny when like the younger generations experience monoculture, how excited they get. Like they'll say things, they'll be like, "Man, that World Cup was so much fun." And you'll just be like, "That was every week. >> There was a new like the OJ trial was monoculture. You could walk in. So it's like I was telling Alice there is like the whole idea the romanticization of like the barber shop is just monoculture. >> It's the ability to it's the bar for some guy or the pub or whatever and when you're in England or whatever. It's like the ability to walk into a place with people that you know or don't know immediately spark up a combo and everybody's aware of what's going on. >> Yes. >> And these kids today don't have it. >> They don't have monoculture at all. Everything's way too fragmented. Joe, there's only a few things that might be monocult >> and it's got to be the biggest or the biggest, bro. >> I don't know. I don't know if it has to be the biggest or the biggest. >> Drewi, >> not the same. >> You don't think he's monoculting? >> No. Damn. >> I'll give you an example. Saturday Night Live at its peak. >> Yep. >> Buckwheat. When Buckw Week was assassinated, you guys were too young for this. >> No, we weren't. >> For Buckwheat's assassination, >> you know, no. To the point we're making, I remember the reference. I know that he got assassinated. >> I don't remember. >> That was Eddie Murphy. that that Monday that happened Saturday night. >> Yeah, >> that's all you could talk about at school for a week. >> And that's funny. I remember hearing that. I had no idea what the references from, but I remember >> The Rock during W his WWE >> monoculture. >> Monoculture. >> Even if you didn't even watch a little more fragmented. >> You don't think Drewuski monoculture? >> Nah. >> And this is this is no disrespect to Drewuski. He's existing at a time. >> He's the closest. >> He's he his skits can get there for sure. >> What about certain sketches? Was the was the the white girl thing? >> Was the Charlie K the Erica Kirk or the Republican woman sketch? Monoculture. >> I would say it wasn't monoculture. I would say it was internet culture. Meaning if you were at any part of the internet, if you existed on the internet, it went there. My parents don't know about it. >> That's exactly that's what I said. Monoculture is when your parents know. When you got to stop when you hear your mom or dad make the reference and you're like, "What the hell?" You know what I'm saying? No. No. You're right. mono culture is you could walk into a room having discussed nothing, not knowing those people, bring up so what do you guys think about and everybody knows what's going on. >> I'm take I'm taking my talents to South Beach >> monoculture. The Knicks and the World Cup were the two closest examples. >> The Knicks run is monoculture. >> Nixon 5 is monoculture. >> World Cup monoculture. Unfortunately, political [ __ ] Iran, >> not really. No, Iran is monoculture. Iran like you could say you could say straight of horm to people and they know what you're talking about now. A year ago they would have no [ __ ] clue. >> Taylor, you know the straight horm. >> What? >> You know the straight harmon? >> I don't understand what you're saying. >> Do you know the straight of harm moves? >> Where in the world is it? >> No. >> Damn, bro. >> That's what I'm saying. That [ __ ] is not monoculture. No, you don't. >> That's how you were trying to car. I was like, >> it's not like but I knew it's not like nobody. It's not. >> You shouldn't pay taxes. >> No, it's not. It's not like that's not it's too much. Here's the thing. When it comes to politics, there's too much going on. The only thing political and mono Let me see what was what's monoculture in politics. >> Wow. >> I think when a one of the presidential debates happens that that reaches that level. >> Monoculture. >> No. >> Yeah. Joe, Donald Trump saying fake news. Like his little slogans, build the wall. Like those are monoculture slogans. >> You ready? Monoculture. This is monoculture. I don't know if this is tapping sailor, but this monoculture. Um Trump [ __ ] his pants. >> I don't think that's monoculture. >> I think that's monoculture. >> I don't think that's monoculture. I don't think a lot of people understand that. >> Really? >> No. Did you hear about that, Taylor? >> That he [ __ ] his pants after I [ __ ] it. I thought he farted. Do you know that we're at war with Do you know we're at war with Iran? >> Do you know we're at war with Iran? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> All right. So, she knows. She knows they're war. >> I would say as a as a story, Epstein files are monoculture. >> Epstein was monoculture. >> Epste is definitely monoculture cuz you can use every you can use the reference anywhere. Everybody gets it. Everybody understand. >> I would say when >> Super Bowl monoculture Super Bowl halftime show monoculture% certain deaths Michael Jackson. >> Yep. Yep. >> Maybe. But you know that was the era of monoculture. >> It doesn't count if it exists within the era. >> Yeah. I'm talking about stuff that exists. >> Yeah. It was already starting to get fragmented. But >> Britney Spears shaving her head was monoculture. >> Monoculture. Yeah. Yeah. Michael Jackson wasn't It wasn't fragmented in what was that old what year was that? 09. >> The fragmentation has only happened in the last decade. Maybe even the last six years. >> Last five. >> Yeah. >> I think last five. >> Like the last monoculture we really had and it was a blip. But COVID was pure monoculture because all of us were experiencing there was much less [ __ ] out and all of us were experiencing at the same time. The Last Dance documentary, remember that when that [ __ ] hit? >> Monoculture. >> That was like water in the desert. >> OH MY GOD, IT was amazing. And they bumped it up. >> George Floyd. >> Floyd. >> Yep. We said that before. >> We said that, Taylor. >> I mean, that whole era was monoculture though. The mask, the separation of six feet, you know what I'm saying? Like all that whole everything was monocult because we were shut down >> versus >> huh >> was versus >> approaching. >> Yeah. Not for everybody. >> Too segmented for what? >> Too segmented. >> I know someone that's monoculture. Well, not I don't know about anymore, but before Soulja Boy. >> Yeah, but he he was he was was before the era. He was he was of the era of monoculture. >> We're trying to say right now. >> What's the era then? That's from What's the year? >> Uh six years ago and before. >> Yeah. Who would uh Drake and Kendrick beef? >> Yes. >> Yeah, that was 100% monoculture, but that's because you're dealing with two the two biggest rap stars of the last 15 years. Like both of them had already crossed over. >> So, white people were uh fully aware >> of of them. Latinos were fully aware of those two individuals. You know what I'm saying? Like, Asians were fully aware of them. Any if you were American, you were fully aware of them already. Yes, that was absolutely monoculture. But it does, it is uh it is kind of annoying because the fact that we're not invested in monoculture means you either talk to a specific tiny group of the internet and they get it and nobody else does or you speak to and in order to talk to them, you have to speak to them in the most extreme way. >> Why you holding a [ __ ] >> Is that what a [ __ ] is monoculture? >> Is that what a [ __ ] looks like? >> Yeah. You're holding it like why you doing and you're doing the basket weave to it, bro? God damn. How we go from mono to culture in like in a span of two seconds. That was crazy. >> I know. I did get a little wild. >> Like why? >> My bad. >> That was on me. That was on me. >> Jesus Christ. >> That cheek to cheek, man. I can't help myself. >> But no man. Yeah. Monoculture. I was I was thinking we was talking about last week about a different world and a different world coming back to Netflix. >> Oh yeah. >> And I don't think people realize how big a different world was. Different world was 100% monoculture. Bro, >> you think white people didn't wa Did you watch it? >> You mind you, you don't have to watch it. You know about it. >> We were aware of it >> very much. It was the number two. It was the the number two most highest rated show in America. >> I think Martin was more monoculture than A Different World >> and Living Color >> and Fresh Prince. >> That's interesting because you know and the reason those are interesting is because neither one of them did the numbers that Different World did. >> Well, but A Different World was a spin-off from the Cosby Show which was the height of monoculture. You do you know how much you know the highest rated episode of Different World? >> No. >> 36 million views. >> That's big. >> Wow. >> Random Thursday night. 36 million. But it was only four channels. >> There's only four channels, >> right? >> Well, can can I ask a question then? Because the criticism of monoculture used to and I'm going back to like the 50s and 60s really at the height of it >> was that it was oppressive and there was >> Yeah. a lack of ability for individuality and you were all forced to kind of consume this same thing. And what I'm wondering now is are we realizing like there was also like some comfort in that and there was actually a little stability in that. >> Yeah, but [ __ ] was good. >> It wasn't that great. >> Yeah, it was good. Like what was great? >> Friday night lineup in 1987 was probably trash most of the time, but like Miami Vice was monoc. I mean you could go on and on, right? Like >> yo, TGI Friday's ABC was fire, bro. Perfect strangers. Family Matters, Full House. What are we talking about? >> Some of it was good. So, >> but do you mean [ __ ] was good like economically or do you mean [ __ ] was good? >> It was good contentwise. This is [ __ ] we still spoofing now. What was Yo, Golden Girls. You said NBC's >> I just made some [ __ ] about Golden Girls fire. >> This is the same thing as dating where it's like >> scarcity makes [ __ ] feel good. >> Nah, bro. I'm tell there's a lot of trash. Let me get the argument out. It's like >> when you scroll Netflix for 45 minutes before you choose something, it's the what is it an paralysis by analysis or whatever that that saying is. Right. So the same thing with dating now. It's like you have an infinite amount of women that are swipe away on your phone. So it's hard to ex because this because there's not the scarcity. When you grew up in a small town or amongst corner of South Carolina with 8,000 people dirt roads, you had the girls that went to your school, the school in the next town, the school in the next town, you knew all the girls that were more or less in your age >> for the most part. Yeah. >> So, it's like you knew what was available. So, if you got to find one, you're like, "Oh, thank God. I got one." Everybody else was like, "All right, what's left?" >> But it always felt like it was mad variety. I don't I guess I don't understand y'all argument when it comes to this stuff back in the day cuz what wasn't good? >> Like There was plenty of shows that weren't good. I guess the point that I think >> but but the [ __ ] that stood the test of time is what we watch. >> I think what point is Chris is trying to say is that while things might not have been as good, the connectivity, the human instinct for connectivity, the thing that we all need at our core, like what are men complaining about right now all the time? The male loneliness epidemic, it's like it's been never been easier in the history of humanity to connect with people and men are feeling incredibly lonely. I imagine they felt lonely throughout history, but whatever. The point is we were all connected on certain things. Whereas now you feel like you're in your own little bubble. And if you don't go along with what's in your bubble, you're super [ __ ] lonely. You only talk to the people you play Fortnite with. You might not even have a conversation with a human being. >> So I think what we're missing from monoculture, where is we might not have the diversity of thought, right? We might not have the democratization of information, meaning we don't know the true story of what happened during the Civil War, the true story about the Native Americans or the true about what really happened. What we gained was we all feel like we know what happens and we're all connected in that feeling. >> I respect that. I think monoculture to me is the true test of what's good though. And what I mean by that is when you're able to take the majority of Americans or a large swath of Americans, black, white, no matter the race, no matter the gender, and a bunch of people gather around to say, "This is what we're watching every week." That's why those shows were classic and stood the test of time. That's why they had multiple seasons. That's why we remember them to this day. Yo, [ __ ] like Saint Elsewhere. >> There wasn't [ __ ] to watch, Charlotte. >> But it was good [ __ ] >> Compared to the four, >> the [ __ ] that wasn't good didn't last, bro. >> It's your mom's cooking, bro. It's like it's good because it's what you know. >> It's not good because it's good. >> Okay. Well, let me ask you a question. Name uh let's just pick a year. Pick a year from that era. 1983. Look it up. Look up the top rated shows for 1980. >> It's going to be MASH. I'll look it up. >> Mash was fire. >> MASH was fire. >> What are we talking about? >> Is MASH better than Sopranos? >> Different type of show. >> Is MASH better than Friends? >> Yes. >> Is Mash better than The Office? >> No. >> No. No. >> Is Mash better than Seinfeld? >> But you're naming You got to stop. You're naming other monoculture shows. Like you're not you're naming other classic monoculture show better than Oh my god. Come on. your enthusiasm. >> It's not >> monoculture, bro. Listen, >> curb ain't monoculture anymore. >> Yo, shows. Come on, bro. Dallas. >> Dallas and you win in the gang. Come on. Stop. Stop. >> Magnum PI was fire. >> Dinosa was fire. The 18, bro. >> 18 was fire. >> Simon and Simon. >> Simon. Simon was fire. Don't >> I don't know. Simon and Simon. I'll be honest with you. I don't know. Simon Simon. >> Magnapi of Slapper. >> Fire. >> Falcon crest. Fire. >> DON'T KNOW IT. >> WHAT? Soap opera. >> K9. Reading rainbow banger banger. Oh, I know that. >> Yes. >> He master of the universe. Fire. Fire. Damn. What was Caitlyn and Ali? >> Kate is good, too. >> Really? >> Yep. With all >> ly all these classic lacy fire >> detective shows. Yeah. >> Stop fire. Yo, these are these are alltime classic shows that in this era you can't find too much. >> Hill Street Blues and all that. >> Oh my god. Hill Street Blues. >> Look, I'm not saying shows any of these shows. Remember when Coogi rap did Ill Street Blues? >> Yes. >> I'm not saying shows can't be good back in the day. Ill Street Blues. >> But in the same way that like when you watch players dribble a basketball in the 80s versus players dribble a basketball now, you see the things >> run circles around this. >> Exactly. So what I'm trying to say is >> not fair guys. >> Okay. I understand certain technological advancements exist and rules change. >> Kerb was monoculture. Say again. >> Kerb was monoculture >> only in the beginning and barely. Curve was barely any and >> the new iteration of Curve was more this era. >> Here's here's a hot take. This is a hot take. >> Any HBO show, not any, but almost every HBO show is not monoculture. >> Very, very few people watch The Wire. >> The Wire was not monoculture. >> Imperatively speaking, people went back to watch The Wire. >> Girls, girls not monoculted. Sopranos. >> People in LA watched it and people in New York watched it and they wrote about it. >> We think when New York and LA likes the show, we think it's the biggest show in the world. In the middle of the country, they're watching Jack Reacher. They're not watching this [ __ ] >> Game of Thrones monoculture. >> That was monoculture. Stranger Things towards this end. Monoculture. >> I think Strange Things was monoculture the whole way through >> only because it was so generational. Like >> my do my daughter, my oldest daughter and my wife loves crazy. It was I think the especially the last few seasons it got crazy but like again this is the type of thing where like now I guess what I would say is because there's more it's harder to cut through. Back in the day there was less. So when something did cut through >> everybody was on it. So like there's a show right now I'm watching on on Apple called Widows Bay. You guys heard of that show. >> Show's fire. I don't I don't know if this will be monoculture, but like it's almost impossible for a show like this to completely cut through given the amount of competition in the space. >> You know, the other difference too, no appointment viewing. >> 100%. >> When you got appointment viewing, it's easier to make things monoculture when Thursday at 8:00 the Cosby Show is on or or 8:30 Martin >> Sunday nights. You got to be there. >> But wait for it. >> And why is that? because you're having a communal experience and you know when you come to school or work the next day, right? That's what people are gonna want to talk to talk about at the water cooler or they're gonna want to talk about on lunch. So if you miss it, you're left out of the communal experience. We're dying for this communal experience. We think we have it because we have social media following and people commenting on our pictures, but in the depths of our brain, we know we don't actually have it. Yeah, people like to blame Elon Musk for, you know, Twitter going off the rails, and he definitely should get a lot of blame, but I also blame the lack of appointment television. >> The lack of appointment television is also what made X go off direct. Do >> you remember when MTV Guy Code episodes would come out? >> Oh my god, >> Twitter was on fire. >> On fire. >> There was only one social media app >> and and TV shows back because it was still monoculture, so we were still watching such and such TV shows. You can tap into that with sports during during the Knicks run. The Knicks run I was on Twitter only. And I'm not even on Twitter, but sports >> or debate, presidential debate. >> But see, I don't like that. Like those are the things I don't want. I want appointment television, things that make us escape, things that cause us to get on so much fun. >> Yes, 100%. >> And like you're right, the appointment viewing when we all had to submit to watching something at the same time or experiencing at the same time and we want to >> share that experience with our friends at the same time. It's why to be honest going to the movie theater when a movie is good and seeing people cheer seeing people get up seeing people be excited or get scared it's a nice [ __ ] feeling. >> Movie theaters are back baby. >> Yeah they might be >> in a real way. In a real way. I didn't realize that Street Fighter was looked at as a uh a staple in hip-hop. >> Interesting. Tell me how >> I I didn't know. knew that cuz cuz video games to me. >> Are you referring to the the song that's being used in it? >> Oh, I haven't even heard the song. I haven't heard the song. >> The the Pac remix. >> Oh, I didn't know that. >> Pac did a song for It's a I'm a Street Fighter. You don't want to [ __ ] with me. >> Oh, that's ambitious as a writer. >> Yeah, but it was remixed for Mike Tyson. So, they got the rights to the Mike Tyson remix and they're putting it in the movie. >> Oh, wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. But, you know, of course, we know video games and hip-hop have been synonymous with each other, but for whatever reason, people feel like Street Fighter had a lot of success because of the hip-hop community. >> Yeah. I mean, as a video game, you're saying? >> I'm trying to think like I mean, Street Fighter was transformational in terms of and I'm not just saying this cuz I'm part of the movie. It was like the first fighting game >> before Mortal Kombat. Yeah. Before all of them, before Tekken, before everything. It was the first >> before Tekken. >> Yeah. You're at the arcade playing Street Fighter. >> Yeah. Now, I remember, you know, so I It's so funny. Once again, monoculture. There was a girl that we used to tease in school and I would call her Blanca. I would I would I would call her Blanca. She came to school in one bad head day and she had her [ __ ] back and I was like, "Blanca." And that [ __ ] stuck with her all through high school. That's [ __ ] mono culture. >> Do you guys think that um this crossed my mind this weekend actually? >> No, it is cuz when I say the reference, everybody knew. Everybody knew. >> Oh, I thought you were saying like you MAKE A GUY. >> OH [ __ ] BLANCA. Everybody laughs. >> Could Could physical arcades with actual machines make a comeback? >> Yo, I'll be honest, bro. >> Yeah. >> At this point, >> no. We've seen people >> Nothing surprises me anymore. >> Think about it. You're getting people in the same space, which is what people want. It's a kind of commu. It's individual, but it's also a communal experience. >> Now, you got to feed money to play a video game, which I think for kids who've grown up with this thing would feel very >> strange. But I'm like, >> you video game. I mean, you want to talk about mon Pac-Man? Pac-Man. >> Yo, I know. >> They ran the [ __ ] country in the 80s, >> Chris. I know colleges that have the movie theaters, >> right? >> And the kids will go in there with their PlayStations and their Xbox and hook it up to the big ass movie theaters and they be in there all day playing [ __ ] video games. So, yes. I don't I don't know if >> What about going and playing an actual you're playing Centipede? >> I think it would have to be something structured around systems as opposed to like the big arcade >> physical thing, right? >> Yeah. I'm I'm doing I'm getting I'm for nostalgia purposes cuz they're cheap. Those arcade games are not expensive. >> I'm getting I want a couple of those at the house. The most expensive thing is the And it's not even expensive anymore because you get shitty material, but it's the build of it. Yeah. >> Cuz now a video game is in a little cartridge. >> Yeah, that's right. That's right. >> Um, let's pay some bills, Taylor Gang. >> Salute to Cash App. Cash App does more than you think when it comes to having your back and making sure your money stays your money. Okay.

I know you're not talking. >> But that's I wouldn't have said it. I would That was crazy. >> Why not? >> Cuz I don't know her last name. Rest in peace. >> I didn't know if I was pronouncing it right. I knew it was like how it sounded. >> Rest in peace. You gave up in the middle of it. >> No, I didn't. Yes, >> you did. You said I said the whole thing. You said in peace to Hayden. >> I said, "No, I didn't. That's >> regardless. It's not about this. Don't do that. >> What happened to her? She I heard they said it was an overdose." >> I don't >> I think they're hesitant to reveal but >> they said it on the 911 call. I mean, her memoir came out in May. Uh, and I remember watching her on, uh, J Shetty. Well, I saw the trailer for it on J Shetty, and then it made me just, you know, go look and see what the memoir is about. And the memoir was literally about her lifelong struggle with alcohol and opioid addiction. And she had a lot of mental health issues and a lot of trauma. >> So, I mean, she was open about that, you know, and then I think I saw something where >> she was telling a story about >> let her go from doing postpartum. >> Oh, yeah. Postpartum. talking about having postpartum, but I also saw something. Look this up, Taylor. She told a story about she was about to out some famous A-list actor. >> Oh, yeah. >> On a yacht. >> Yeah. >> And she was like young. How old was she? Like in her teenage years or something like that. >> I don't know. And she was about to tell on the person. >> I realized that I was in danger, but by the time I'd realized I was in danger, I was quite literally out to sea. And um and it was it was that mo I mean that moment shook me and was shocking. Um and I was quite literally put walked down and I had been having a great time. There was no hints of anything like that happening. So it took me I was I was shocked. It took me by surprise. Um, and it was somebody led by somebody that I had grown to trust and see as a protector and somebody who had my back and to be walked down, you know, down the stairs. And it was it was as like a surprise presented as as though it was like a surprise. And it was this very small room. And she she physically put me in the bed next to this this undressed man who was very famous and um and had his hands like this like like this was just you know an average day for him and this is something that happens all the time. And I waited for her to leave. And I I mean that that lion in me, that fire in me, that that my my hair stood on on end and I became ferocious. I was like, "This is not happening." But I had nowhere to hide. And I bolted and I I hid wherever I could think of to hide on on a boat. On a boat. There was no jumping off and swimming away. And there was nobody who was going to I realized that there was nobody who was going to be empathetic to my situation that this was nothing new to them. >> What do you think? >> It wouldn't surprise me. What wouldn't surprise you? Yeah. >> This poor young girl was, you know, put in a compromising position on >> Oh, no. I completely believe that. I'm just saying, you know, how the internet does. The internet. >> Well, the internet's going to make it be like they killed her because of that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Which I don't know if that makes sense, but like I could totally see a young girl like her that's like I don't know if she was a childhood star, but like young and in entertainment business being just like uh you know put through the [ __ ] ringer by listeners. >> It's sad. 36 years old. You passed away at 36 year old 36 years old >> and you got a kid. >> Yeah. >> Oh, she had a kid >> with Vladimir Klitschko. >> Somebody told me that yesterday. Yeah. It was like >> she gave the kid or she let him have full custody. >> Really? >> Mhm. >> God damn, man. Rest in peace to her, man. What else we got? Taylor gang. >> Um, did y'all see the Ray J and Orlando fight? >> Orlando Brown. >> Who won? >> Ray. >> Ray J. >> So, is he okay? Is he live? Is he going to live? >> Yeah, he's fine. >> Yeah, I'm wondering about that. I was wondering about that, right? Cuz you know, Clarissa Shields fought this weekend and rightfully so. It felt like, well, I think it's too It felt like everybody was on some like, oh [ __ ] I think a lot of people who didn't know realize like, yo, Clarissa is really a star. >> That's surprising. But she's a but because she's a sports star, but people see her so much on social media >> that they get like >> they think she's just some influencer. You know what I mean? >> They don't think that she's as good as she is. >> She's she's she's a generational talent. >> It's not even close. She's a shield. >> She's saying they don't think that she's >> I don't even think they knew she was a boxer really. >> Oh, >> I really don't. I think a lot of people thought that she was just an influencer cuz they've been they've been seeing her over the last couple of years and a lot of times Clarissa fights on off nights like she fights on like a Sunday, >> right? This was the first time that I can remember in a long time where she fought on a Saturday night. >> What network was it on? >> It was on the zone. >> But she had the Raj and Orlando uh on the undercard cuz it was it was like the zone and the Zeus network >> and I think it was such a spectacle. She cuz she did it in Atlanta. She usually fights in Detroit, but she was in Atlanta. A lot of stars were there. Floyd Mayweather was there. Terence Crawford was there. Shakor Stevenson was there. Ra Wade was there. Usher was there. You know what I mean? Like it was a lot of star Lotto walked her out to the ring. There was a lot of star power in the building and she had a I think a stoppage in the sixth round I believe. >> Man, she caught this girl beautifully. >> Crazy. But I think What the [ __ ] was that? I think that for whatever reason on Saturday night people realize, oh, she's really a star. >> Yeah. >> Like you really have to do things. Some people aren't famous just for being famous. If you're famous just for being famous >> and it don't last long. >> She's the first black woman or first woman in general to sell out a stadium >> boxing st or that. >> True. I don't know if that's true. Is that true? >> No. In and as a >> as a boxer. That's me. As a boxer. >> Is that true? I don't know if that's true or not. I don't know >> who else did it. >> Maybe Ali do it. I I really have no idea. >> And I saw something. She's the first of something. >> How do you feel about her being on this card where you have influences on it? I feel like it cheapens the boxing. >> Yeah. >> Well, that's kind of what I was getting at. >> Okay. >> Um, listen, say what you want about Jake Paul. Jake Paul may be an influencer, but when it comes to boxer promoting, Jake Paul promotes real fights. Yep. >> The whole card top to bottom is real fights. It's It's women boxers fighting women boxers. >> But wasn't Ray J on this card? >> But that's my point. >> Oh, >> this ain't Jake Paul. >> Oh, this not >> No, no. I'm I'm giving Jake Paul props. >> Those are the type of cards that Clarissa should be headlining. >> Ah, cuz Jake has uh Sarano, right? >> Jake got Srano. What? though. And and I listen, I like what Win Promotions is doing, but yeah, I do feel like the the full card should be boxing. It shouldn't be spectacle. >> You know what I mean? Because >> you don't want Clarissa Shields being lumped in with that. >> Yeah. >> Cuz like I said, there's a lot of people I feel like just are now realizing she's a legitimate boxing superstar. This is a two-time Olympic gold medalist. >> And you think by her being on the card, it makes her look like an influencer boxer? >> Yeah. Well, for for those who don't know, I'm a boxing fan, so I've been watching the Shields forever. I know she's a 21time world champion, right? >> You understand what I'm saying? Like, I watched her documentary a decade ago, T-Rex, on Netflix. >> She had a movie about her life, guys, that came out in theaters called A Fire Inside. Great movie, too, by the way. Like, she's a legitimate >> star. Yeah. >> By every metric. >> Do you think she has to get off the internet then? She has like people love seeing her personality. Yeah, but she >> that helps. I think it's helped tremendous. >> I think way though cuz you just said people think people see her as an influencer. >> Yeah, but they're watching that fight because they want to see what it is that she does. But there's a lot of people who have been introduced to Clarissa the last couple of years on the internet and they like, man, who is this girl that is always got something to say, but also people are always talking about her. >> You know what I mean? So they want to see what she's really about. And don't get it [ __ ] up. It's the same thing with Floyd Mayweather. They're watching Clarissa hoping she lose, too. >> Oh, really? Is she that polarizing? >> I I think so. I think so. I I root for her all the time, but there's some people that want to get in the they want to see her get in the ring and they they want to see everybody humble. >> It's only >> It's corny. It's unfortunate thing about uh boxing, but also most sports, but definitely boxing and fighting, is that it people don't watch just to see the best person do it. They watch because there's connectivity to the fighter and they'll often pay money to watch a fighter who is maybe less skilled just because of how connected they feel to them. And so you got to find a way to create that connectivity. So it >> she's done it through social media. >> She's ab she's she's absolutely positively done. And I'm telling you, she's so confident. I don't I'm not I would never use the word cocky for Clarissa Shields. She's confident in her abilities. She's confident in her skill set and you should be to where people are like, "Nah, I want to see her lose." Yo, >> interesting. >> I want to see somebody beat her. Yo, >> you know, you have a point though cuz I I watched this fight fully and I was like, that's the this is the first time I ever seen her fight and I have definitely a more I knew she was a boxer though, but I'm just saying I never seen her really fight >> because it was on a Saturday night. Everybody was home. There was no other sports on. You watching the fight >> like she usually fights on off nights. She'll fight on like a Sunday or something. I've seen Clarissa fight during the week. >> It's like nah. Like Saturday night is fight night, baby. That's when you want to see a good fight. >> Shout out to Clarissa. What else we got? Tail again. >> They do a all women >> boxing then. They put it on They don't put it on Saturday nights. >> No, they on Fridays and Saturdays. I mean, like I said, Jake Paul has done a phenomenal job. Jake Paul had his [ __ ] He had Amanda Serrano fight on the undercard of Tyson Paul. Y >> like >> damn it. They threw the whole bathroom in there to stop that fight. >> Did you see that? >> I've never seen that. >> Usually you wave a little towel. >> Clarissa's at the point now where I think she could do pay-per-view >> for sure. >> But why? Just do just build it up on the publicly accessed fights. >> She's 19 and0. She's a 21 time world champion. >> I'm not saying that she doesn't deserve it based on her skill. My point is like get in front of more people. like get in front of as many people as possible. >> She's doing it now. >> That's great. >> You don't think? Yeah. I mean, I think at this point people will pay for a Clarissa Shields fight. >> Yeah, I'm sure they will, but like people there people always watch more [ __ ] for free than they will pay for. >> Oh, 100%. >> So, it's like >> that's how you create monoculture. To your HBO point, I didn't think about it till you said it, but yeah, to your HBO point, it's like, yo, that's a paid cable subscription. People are paid, you know, people don't want to pay for good [ __ ] They much rather uh be be have it be on regular TV. >> Mhm. >> What else we got? Taylor gang gang. >> Um I don't know. >> Damn, she [ __ ] her up though. >> There. This some gay stuff for y'all. >> Well, you know, we're never upset at that. Why? Taylor. Taylor, why? >> Dollar Tree. That [ __ ] just dissolved in my ass like cotton candy. >> What? Dad tree toilet paper. >> Where the [ __ ] did Tish go? >> Huh? >> What's going on? >> What's these long stairs out there? >> Ty, you got to give context. You can't just be playing. >> This guy wanted to talk about toilet. Um, >> why is this gay? >> It dissolved in his ass. >> But like cotton candy, like I never put that in my ass, man. I didn't know that that dissolved. >> Maybe he ate something that had a little acidic in it. And maybe that's what it was. Maybe maybe that's what it was. Maybe he ate something that had a little acidic acid in it. >> Toilet paper from Dollar Tree. That [ __ ] just dissolved in my ass like cotton candy. >> I think it I think his [ __ ] swallowed it up. I don't know who that is. >> [ __ ] tissue. >> Taylor just be high, man. >> What are you talking about? It's not highness. It's just me like, "Oh, this is something that they can make fun of with ass." >> Why does he think it dissolved? cuz he can't find it clearly. >> Let's do some asking idiots, Taylor. This is crazy. >> Wait, wait, wait. One more. >> Okay, what do we got? >> Someone um the police mistook a man's hemorrhoids for a hidden contraband. >> Nah, that's a hemorrhoid. That's a hell of a hemorrhoid. >> Sued the police department and was awarded $1 million in damages. The incident started when the man I know. I got to go was walking on the street with a bottle of alcohol. Someone called police and said he looked suspicious. Officers quickly found him and asked to search him. At first, Kingham cooperated, but when the officer's hand got close to his backside, Kingham suddenly became nervous and tried to stop him. The officer believed that reaction meant he was hiding something illegal. Then the officer felt a hard object. Kuntingham started screaming and resisting, but the officer became even more sure he had found contraband. The more Kingham yelled, the harder the officer searched. He thought you was cute. This is AI. >> Taylor, this is AI. >> Contraband. >> That's AI. >> You got this many angles of the whole situation. >> Taylor, >> Taylor, why are you wasting valuable valuable part time with [ __ ] like this? You have me going. I'm sitting there thinking like, what the [ __ ] Taylor? >> Taylor, it can happen. Okay, let's do some asking idiots, man. You got to go. Go. Knock out the asking idiots. No, I I'll hang for a little bit. I'll be a little be a little late for this. >> This podcast is brought to you by Squarespace.

Now, let's get back to the show. >> All right, let's do some asking idiots, gang. Gang, >> hold on. One more thing. Um, would you like to answer to this? >> Answer to what? >> Came with an AI article. >> Hold on now. Stop. Stop. Stop. Hold on. What does it say? Academic salute the act, man. Salute the big [ __ ] act. It says academic says nobody cares that Charlemagne was using AI. What was I using AI for? the news thing. >> Let me hear it. >> That Charlemagne the God came with an AI article so nobody cares that Charlemagne the God came with an AI article to try to shift up the discussion and blatantly lie and try to just capture the, you know, the the the goodwill of the people by trying to say someone's crazy. Now he has nothing more to say on the topic. Now he's talking about what Ray Daniel said. [ __ ] what Ray Daniel said. New Hope Uno's back here again. What about the [ __ ] AI [ __ ] you brought up against me? Let's get back to that. Let's get back to that. >> What AI [ __ ] is he talking about? >> What's the AI thing? >> I saw that he thought that you brought up newspap like AI newspaper or not newspaper, sorry, news reports about him. >> AI news reports about him. Oh yeah, they be spamming the [ __ ] out of me with that [ __ ] Uh they talk about um inversewire.com. It's like act act you're smarter than that my brother like inverse inversewwire.com is a um what do they call it? It's called a aggregator site. Do you know what aggregator site is? >> Well, let me tell you guys I now see I like I like teachable moments. >> What mediites is another one right? >> No media media is not mediite does original stories. A aggregator site is a website that collects information, content, or product listings from many different sources and shows them all in one place. Instead of making its own original content, the site organizes data from other web pages so people can compare options easily. And common types of aggregator sites are news and articles. So there's platforms like uh I think it's called Techme. They collect and summarize news reports from various publishers. So that's what uh the site inversewwire.com does. And so the article that I was citing to academics was originally published on the age.com and it was also published on the Sydney Morning Herald. And those sites at least the age.com is for sure the age.com is behind the payw wall. So, I think inversewire.com takes stories that are from behind pay walls and push them up. And um I I saw act saying how the how the site was was taken down. That's probably why it was taken [ __ ] down. You know what I'm saying? If you taking paid content, you know, from another site and putting it up on your site, then that's probably one of the reasons they would take it down. But what is he trying to say? That the articles aren't real? >> Yeah. Well, well that well well what >> that's what the claim the claim the claim is that >> I think Rock Nation made some fake article and they're the ones that are pumping this whole situation. >> It's on the Sydney Morning Act knows this. I've sent ACT these articles before. It's on the Sydney Morning Herald. The rapper, the cryptobillionaire in the Instagram mystery man. That was the Sydney Morning Herald. The age.com. Hold on. on the age.com. You've seen that article. Uh I see I see quite a few articles actually. But uh >> no, hold on. Let me see. The age.com cuz I'm not talking about this [ __ ] no more, man. I'm'll be honest with you. Like hold on. The age.com the headline for that article was what the [ __ ] The rapper the cryptobillion Instagram. Yeah, it's the same story. The age.com and the Sydney Morning Herald both posted that story. It's and it's up on their sites right now. Matter of fact, put him in the um put him on the on the screen. >> I got you. >> Put him on the screen. >> Yeah, man. Just give a hug, bro. >> That's my guy. >> Yeah. Come on, guys. Be friends again. Everybody be friends again. >> We're not friends. WE JUST SAT DOWN AND HAD A THREE-HOUR CONVERSATION. >> Be friends. Everybody be friends. >> I saw Yo, when when I when I saw when I heard that just now, I thought that was AI. I didn't know that was back talking. I didn't know. I didn't know that was act really talking like that article. I read the act is real. It's on the Sydney Morning Herald. Matter of fact, hold. I'm going to tell you I'll do you one better. I'll tell you who wrote the article. >> I don't even think you need to do that. >> No, I want to >> like they they >> Korean. That's who wrote the article on the Sydney Morning Herald. >> I don't know anything else. The Sydney Morning Herald and the a.com. So that's where it was originally published. Inversewire.com took it from there and posted it. I I don't Hey, I can't wait to see how you spin this one. I I love it. I like hearing act is entertaining to me. You know what I'm saying? I want to see cuz I don't I Is he Is he trying to say that the article is not real? >> Uh it seems that way. But my thing is he's just upset by how the discussion went. I think because he's still trying to prove points from the discussion. >> Here's the thing. >> Just give him a hug. >> As I told Act, >> give him a hug, Charlotte. >> As I told Act, I don't know if these allegations in this article are true, >> but the article is real. >> It's on the Sydney Morning Herald and it's in the age.com. That's where it was originally published. Once again, Inverse Wire is an aggregator site and they take articles from other places and republish. >> So, they just ripped it off basically. >> Yeah, that's what they do. That's when they're an aggregator site. >> Got it. >> I don't know what you want to say. Um, asking idiots. >> Let's do it. I got to run through this ADR. >> What the [ __ ] is that? >> It's like when you voice over things that they didn't get clearly when you filmed. >> All right, I'm going to knock out some Asking idiots, man. >> My boy. Peace. >> Peace. >> Bye, guys. >> Peace. Um, Anton are the Jesus Cocoy. At the beginning of y'all's career, did you ever vision the major success you will have? I absolutely did. You know, I tell y'all that all the time. If you've read any of my books, you know that my first book, Black Privilege Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It. I talk about being in the studio in 1999 in Charleston, South Carolina, Z93 Jams. And that's like at the beginning of the internet and I'm listening to radio personalities from all over the country. I'm listening to Big Tiger. I'm listening to Big Tiger and freaking Star Go at it. I'm listening to freaking Angie Martinez. I'm listening to, you know, Howard Stern. Doug Banks was on at our market in the morning. Tom Joiner was on. And all I remember saying to myself was, if I'm going to do this radio thing, I want to be like that. I want to I want to do it at the highest level. I want to be a super jock. That's what my I said I want to be a that's why I used to call him super jock. I want to be a super jock. And you know that vision see yourself doing anything else. >> Huh? >> You didn't see yourself doing anything else? >> No. I mean radio was the end all be off for me because I always thought that with radio you can do so many other things. Like I saw radio personalities doing albums. I saw radio personalities writing books. You know, I just Yeah. And I did see myself doing other things. I saw myself writing books. I saw myself >> No, but like >> writing movie scripts. >> That wasn't your full-on career, like being a teacher or something. >> No, radio was definitely my full on career. 100%. >> That's all I ever wanted to do. I I started as an intern when I was 18, 19 years old. >> Oh, wait. No, you're lying. Why? >> Cuz you wanted to be a rapper. Bullwinkle, whatever your name was. >> What? >> Fizzy Van Winkle. >> My name was no [ __ ] Bull Winkle. >> I mean, I was close. >> Yeah. Yeah. actual day wasn't that much >> as a rapper >> that much better >> as a as a as a rapper. Yeah, I did used to want to be a rapper. Listen, when you black and you growing up in a certain environment, the people that you see are successful are usually in rap or sports. You know what I mean? >> I don't want my son to be like that. >> Well, he won't be cuz he got more options to look at now. >> Yeah, >> he got more options. He got more things to see. I mean, by the way, we had more things to see back then, but we weren't paying attention. Like we I grew up in a great era. And the reason I say I grew up in a great era because I really grew up in the the the second generation. No, I grew up in the first generation. I'm lying. I grew up in the first generation renaissance of what has become a multi-billion dollar industry which is called hip-hop. >> And because of hip-hop, I'm in the position that I'm in now because I do hip-hop and R&B radio. I would not be in this position if I wasn't a hip-hop and R&B radio personality. So yes, to answer your question, Anton R the Jesus Coco. Yes, I vision myself having this major success. Um, listen adapt the fitness wand says, "What is stronger, consistency or resilience?" Ooh, >> they're kind of the same thing. >> I don't know, Chris. Let's look up the definition. >> Resilience is Well, yeah, I guess so. in the sense. >> Let's look up the definitions. I don't know if they're the same thing. What's the difference? >> Mic is bleeding through >> between consistency >> and resilience. That's a good question >> here. >> How you spell resiliency? >> I got it. >> Consistency. >> Consistency is the habit of doing things in a regular way over time. Resilience is the power to bounce back and heal >> when bad things happen. I think resilience is more >> consistency help keeps your daily routine steady while resilience helps you stand back up after a a fail. >> Well, right. But the thing that gets in the way of consistency is what are perceived as obstacles. Maybe they're not fails. Maybe they're smaller obstacles, but you know, the the ability to get past whatever size it is is what allows you to maintain the consistency. >> Yeah. I think that's strong. I think resiliency Yeah, >> I think resilience >> because it's about bouncing back. >> You got to be able to bounce back. It's all about that bounce back. Like there are some people who have completely let their failure become their whole identity. >> Mhm. >> I hate that. Don't let your failure become your whole identity. Like you got to just keep it moving. Like something don't go right, something don't go your way, you just got to keep it moving. Don't try to like, you know, do any revisionist history or change the path. It is what it is. What's next? Like I I think resiliency, but once you're at a certain, you know, level, then it's consistency, >> right? >> So with Drake, is he resilient or he's consistent? >> That's a good one. >> He's consistent. He I I just wanted to do one podcast without talking about Drake. I'm >> sorry. Can we just do one podcast without talking about Drake? Um he's been consistent. He has not had a bounce back. He have not had a failure. >> What do you mean he lost the >> That's not a failure. He just lost a battle. >> No, that's a that's a form of failure that he's bouncing back from. >> Listen, >> like if you lost something, that's >> He was competitive. >> Yeah, but it is still a loss. >> But he did. Yeah. >> But what did he lose? >> He lost a battle when you guys are going for saying, "Hey, who's the best rapper right now?" And the two top guys are going at it and you lost that. So now people can say you're not the top guy. And now he's bouncing back from that. >> But being the top guy is subjective. >> Yeah. But >> he's never Hey, Being the top guy is subjective. He's not the top guy in my book. Never has been. >> He was in a lot of people's books. I love when the Drake pages clip me saying hateful things about Drake. So let me give you one right now. I am a certified gradeA Drake hater since day one. I should get a [ __ ] medal. Okay, I don't hate him. All right, I don't care. I DON'T GIVE A [ __ ] LIKE, I REALLY DON'T. You know what I really do like to do? I love pissing off his fans. His fans his fans clip me when I'm saying something good. Last week, I was in here talking about how I think the whole [ __ ] with the 20v1 was overblown >> and and people were, you know, being a little too hard on them for no reason. and they still clipped it and made it seem like I said something [ __ ] up. I was like, "God, I can't remember that page. What's that name of that page? Is it rap dial up or something?" >> That's it. Saying that you >> They took the clip of me saying, "Why you barking for the golf girl? >> Why you barking for the golf girl?" And then they was like, "But this you Charlamagne." And then they showed me sniffing seats. I don't see the correlation. Okay. The seat I sniffed was Jennifer Lopez. >> That golf girl is not Jennifer Lopez. That was my whole point. Okay. >> Are you saying golf? >> What the [ __ ] was it? >> GOSH OR WHATEVER THE [ __ ] OKAY. YOU BOUGHT FOR JENNIFER LOPEZ. I DON'T GIVE A [ __ ] I'M ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION. WHY? WHAT ABOUT THE GOLF girl made you bark? >> I'm just I'm just being I'm just talking I'm being pure superficial. That's it. I'm not saying that she's you know if you into that you into that. You know what I'm saying? But I'm just like why you bark for her? >> If if I saw him in JLo's lap barking I'd be like I get it. >> Okay. That's all I was saying. >> DAMN. >> CLIP THAT. >> YEAH. Drake Clippers. The Clip Clippers. >> They exaggerated JLo's body back in the day, though. >> You was a hater. >> That's not hating it. They did though. They made it seem like she had the craziest booty and she didn't. >> Nah, she had the rice and beans. You crazy. >> I know you be hating. >> I Let's look. >> No. Back in the day, JLo had it. Yo, that was And that was the >> No, I love JLo. I'm not saying that. I'm saying, but her body wasn't as voluumptuous as we're making. >> I'm talking about uh JLo after she was already a movie star where she like uh conformed a little bit more towards the Hollywood standards, but early JLo, it was memorable. >> Were you weren't even there? >> Very memorable. I'll say this, we don't we don't appreciate the 90s, early 2000 bodies anymore because of all of this GMO BBL performance enhanced booties. You know what I mean? Like we don't appreciate it. That was that was that was the organic >> that was straight. >> Yeah. And organically there was more girls that have voluumptuous bodies. >> JLo had it. Sh JLo was good money. Shout out to JLo. I'm not here to objectify no woman on the podcast. Taylor, I can't believe you would do something like that. >> I'm not. >> I'm just saying it was exaggerated. >> I don't care if that's laid in jail. That's fire. All >> ladies, by the way, that's monoculture. >> Body is Jayla's body is te. But I'm just saying I think it was exaggerated. That's all. >> I appreciate it. I don't know what to tell you, Taylor Gay. Okay. Uh, Mr. Derek Jr. says, "What's one thing you look forward to in the next 5 to 10 years?" Um, watching the kids grow. you know, watching the kids continue to grow. It's my favorite thing to do on this planet, man. There's nothing like it. Shout out to everybody out there with a family. Shout out to everybody out there with kids, you know. Um, there's nothing like watching your little ones grow up. It is the most incredible thing in the world. So, that's what I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to continuing to age gracefully, and I'm going to continue to watch, you know, my babies come into their own. Can I say something? >> Who? Taylor, who stops you from saying anything on this podcast? I can't even believe she just [ __ ] asked just now. Can I say something? What the [ __ ] are you talking about? >> Because anyways, >> what >> I want to apologize because I used to say like >> I've Well, I've been a mom. I still say I've been a mom cuz I had a dog, but they are not the same. And I apologize for thinking that it was comparing. >> Tell you something about women. >> You better tell her that. They don't listen, but they eventually come back around. Can you just say Charman, right? >> Not. >> I told you you don't give a [ __ ] about that dog. >> No, that's not what I TOLD YOU. I TELL YOU ALL THE TIME how much you don't give a [ __ ] about that dog. I said you don't give a [ __ ] about that dog. >> I said they're not the same. >> You don't even care. You ready to get You ready to get that dog away? You ready to sell that dog for parts? >> Ever. >> You're ready to sell that dog for parts. First of all, first of all, my son My son and my dog are like best friends. >> They are. You know, he thinks that's a toy. >> My No, he doesn't. My son pets him, kisses him. Like, >> when that dog dies, P going to be trying to put batteries in it to get it back. >> Stop. Stop talking about him like that. >> You don't care. >> You're out of control. >> You bring that dog to the radio station. >> Exaggerate. But for what? >> Exactly. Damn. >> For what though? >> You don't even try to get him a sitter no more. Nothing. You be leaving that dog in the house by himself. >> When did he have a sitter? That dog used to have a sitter. >> No, he didn't. >> That dog have a column no more. Taylor be letting that dog run wild hoping it run out in the street and get ran over by a [ __ ] Mac truck. >> Don't ever say that. I would never. >> What else we got? Let's do one more. >> I'm going to bring him in this week. >> The drop off. >> I'll tell you afterwards. >> All right. >> Uh, how often do you use Oh, okay. Marcus 101 says, "How often do you use AI in daily life? For what purpose in which AIS? Um, >> I use chat GPT. I've been uh, you know what I've been experimenting with on chat GPT? It's, it's about the prompts. See, y'all are letting things like chat GPT do the thinking for you when you should actually go into chat GPT and use certain prompts. I want to Should I get I give y'all a tip? I'll give y'all a tip. I don't have no problem giving y'all a tip. I'm going to tell y'all the kind of questions I ask chat GPT. >> Would you like to know? >> Yes. >> This is how you get really good prompts from stuff like I mean this is how you get really good information from Chad GPT, right? Okay. Don't ask Chad GPT to be more human. Okay. Use these prompts instead. Like they have a prompt called human expert mode and you tell Chad GBT you say answer my question as a real expert with more than 10 years of hands-on experience in this field. Avoid textbook explanations and generic advice. Share real world lessons, common mistakes, practical nuances, insighted insights and examples from actual actual experience. >> Then say my question is >> watch the difference. If you want if you want if you want an emotionally intelligent response, say, "I want you to answer this as someone who deeply understands human emotions, motivation, struggles, and personal circumstances. Speak naturally, explaining your reasoning, and respond with empathy, nuance, and emotional intelligence." Then say, "My question is, >> oh wow, >> none of y'all ain't doing that. Y'all just asking this generic ass computer, hey, what's such and such and such?" And it's going to give you a generic ass answer. Have a real conversation with it. You want to do a real life experience simulation prompt. Imagine you've personally, this what you say GPT. Imagine you've personally been through this situation, learned from it, and are now sharing your experience with me as a trusted friend who genuinely cares. Give me honest, practical, and human advice based on real world lessons, not robotic theory. Didn't say my question is, >> but you're it's still giving robotic theory. >> Where'd you get that? Can you send that? >> Yeah. But when when you have conversations with Chad, talk to it like a human. >> Yeah. >> Don't ask it to be more human. >> But it's still going to be more robotic though. >> It can get softer. It can get warmer. It can be. It's It's got It's got too much of our dat, like, "Hey girl, what's up?" It's weird. >> See what I'm saying? Have you guys used it for financial advice? >> No, I do Claude for that. >> I did that on Claude last night and had me up until like four o'clock in the morning. I was freaking out. Claude is better for that than Jud Chad GBT. >> I put my everything I have into Claude and was like asked its analysis of my strategy and it was like you got a big problem on your hands and then I was like [ __ ] >> Oh wow. >> But then I was talking my wife was like all right but what was that based on? Like where did they >> get the information to say you know your strategy? I basically was like, I'm afraid that the financial markets are going to crash sometime in the next three years, and can you look at everything I'm doing and tell me how I could better hedge against that >> possibility happening? And >> but you don't take it for law, though. You take that information and take it. >> That's what my wife was saying. She's like, "Okay, but what is its analysis based on?" I'm like, "I'm assuming its analysis is based on like literally every financial article that's been written over the last 70 years, and then this is like the aggregate of it." But I don't really know. But that's my assumption. >> I saw Rashad from Earn Your Leisure, right? >> He had uh Chat GPT like design his house. >> Mhm. >> And when he took it to the actual architect, the architect was like, "Yo, this is incredible. I never seen anything like this on my studios." >> But it's But you're But you know what to you're talking to. You actually have information. Same thing with you, Chris. You actually have information. There's people that get on here and just use this to think. I've seen them do I've seen them get on their podcast, type things in and just read it verb. I'm just like, "Yo, bro, that's just not even right. That's wrong." >> Yeah. Like I'm going back and forth in my probably like hours. >> It's insane. >> Like we're we're going to refine what I'm trying to get at. And it's like it's a back and forth discussion. >> And I tell you what else is has AI has helped a lot with um like proposals and stuff. It's crazy. >> I love it. Oh my god. Like when I got when I got ideas for proposals, it the way it can put it together so quick. I mean, and but but it's cuz I'm coming with the information already. >> It's just putting it together for me. >> I love the deck in like 10 minutes the other day. >> Yeah. They're probably researching you, too, though. >> But then I'm also like, damn, this is it for graphic designers. Like, how do you make a living being a graphic designer when you can just go into Clawude and be like, >> "All right, on slide one, I wanted to, you know, >> yeah, >> hey, >> yep, >> I get it. >> That's technology." And then that's what had me up at 4:00 in the morning cuz I'm like they're going to be I mean my my brother-in-law is a guy who's been involved in, you know, tech and building and selling companies for a long time. I trust his opinion. He really thinks that AI is going to if not wipe out the job market. Like >> it can't like he thinks that universal income thing is real. He thinks we're headed towards that. >> What to do about mass unemployment? This is going to be a massive social challenge and I I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don't think we're going to have a choice. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. Um that that's simply the and I want to be clear that these these are not uh things that I think that I wish would happen. These are things simply things that I think probably will happen. And since and if they if if my assessment is correct and they probably will happen then we need to say what are we going to do about it and I think some kind of a universal basic income is going to be necessary. Now the output of goods and services will be extremely high. Um so with automation um they will they will come abundance there will be almost everything will get very cheap. >> Read technofudalism what kills it capitalism. It talks about all of that in there. I do I do think there's going to be a big portion of America that is going to stay home all day, not going to leave the house, you know, because all of this stuff, social media, just makes your anxiety and depression even worse. So, there's people that's going to stay in the house and they're going to rely off universal basic income. But then you going to have a whole other group of people that's going to get ultra filthy rich off all this [ __ ] Then the technical the book talks about that. It talks about how even the classes are going to change in the future. Like you could be a person with >> I think the class is I don't think there's a middle class anymore really. >> Oh the middle class is wiped out. But the the new middle class is going to be cons going to be the people that got like five 105 to$10 million cuz if you got $10 million how you going to compete in a world of billionaires? >> Well depetition what I need to live a comfortable life compared to what a billionaire needs. Uh, conversely, what I think I need in somebody who's making below minimum wage are two different things, too. It's all perspective. >> Sure. But capitalism is a cannibalistic system, >> right? >> It's already ate the middle class's ass, right? This definitely ate all the poor and disenfranchised people's asses. Whose ass is left to eat? >> The billionaires. >> No. >> Who? >> It's going to start with >> the multi-millionaires, >> right? The the millionaires. multi-millionaires, tens of millionaires, and then that's when you're gonna start seeing those folks start complaining because they're like, "Wait a minute. I'm supposed to be living the American motherfucker." >> That's happening now. >> You see what I'm saying? I'm supposed to be living the American [ __ ] dream, but now I'm getting priced out of [ __ ] Now I don't have access to the things I want to have access. >> There's no security in being a millionaire. >> So if you're a hundred So now you got to be a hundred millionaire or a billionaire, which is so few and far between, right? So the next people to get their ass ate is gonna be the people that's making the the the millions. >> Crazy. >> The multi-millions and the tens of millions guaranteed. >> We the ONES PAYING FOR EVERYTHING NOW. >> I mean, I can't even talk about it cuz I'll sound like a completely entitled maniac. But yes, >> that's that's the bottom line. >> Those people get taxed crazy already, >> which by the way, I don't mind if I know that those taxes are going to things that I actually care about. I'm just simply saying I'm watching this capitalist system and technofudalism show technofudalism is about to take [ __ ] to another level. Y'all thought seeing Elon is a trillionaire was one thing, but you going to have the trillionaires, a bunch more billionaires, the 100 millionaires, and then everybody [ __ ] else. And then eventually everybody in this country is going to revolt. It's going to be on some eat the rich [ __ ] what Tupac said when he said, >> "If I know that in this hotel room they have food every day and I'm knocking on the door every day to eat and they tell and they open the door, let me see the the party. Let me see like them throwing salami all over the I mean just like throwing food around where they're telling me there's no food in here." You know what I'm saying? Every day I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in. You know what I'm saying? We are hungry, please let us in. We are hungry, please let us in. After about a week, that song is going to change to we hungry, we need some food. After two, three weeks, it's like, you know, get me on the road and we breaking out the door. And after a year, n just like, you know what I'm saying? A pick in the lock, coming through the door, blasting. You know what I'm saying? It's like, you hungry. You reached your level. You don't want anymore. We asked 10 years ago, we was asking with the Panthers. We was asking with them, you know, with civil rights movement. We was asking, you know, now, now those people that were asking, they're all dead and in jail. So now, what do you think we're going to do? And we shouldn't be angry. >> It's impossible. Unless social media just makes everybody so [ __ ] docile. >> I think that's more likely. >> Damn. >> Everything you're saying is 100% true. I'm I'm I'm watching it in real time. >> Yeah. You think? >> Not Not even the government tax. I mean, I'm just going through it with the whole college thing right now. >> Is it worth you know? >> Yeah, it's worth it. It's worth it. $90,000 a year to send a kid to college. It's worth it. >> Oh, golly. >> It dep It depends, right? Because because college gives kids >> or Yeah. >> You know what? You know why it's worth it, Chris? The sense of community. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. I could buy them some friends for $9,000. >> Yeah. But the thing is, but colleges have changed too now. It's not the same going to college how it was before. People kids are still on their phone and like it's not >> I don't see that as much anymore. I think there's a lot of I think I think that generation is really disconnected in a real way. I think adults are more on their phones than them kids. Yo, I'm watching it. Like I'm watching it in real time. I'm watching these kids communicate. >> That's true. >> And be around and all that less. Not little kids like college school age kids. They're not using the phone as much. >> They're back to community, y'all. I'm seeing it. Like they're they're back hanging out with each other, playing card games, you know, playing board games, >> playing video games. Like they're back >> having real life conversation with each other. I think that getting on your phone every day and constantly question questioning if something is real um is really turning off a lot of people. I really do. All right, as always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast and think we're just a couple idiots who don't know [ __ ] you're right, too. It's the Brilliant Podcast. Thank you for listening.
