Yep. Charlemagne the guy got >> Andrew Schulz. >> We are the Brilliant Idiots podcast. Back for another week of Brilliant Idiot. He car. >> Hello sir. >> How was your weekend my brother? >> It was good. >> Anything fun? >> It was good. >> Trying to think of anything specifically fun from it. Um, no. Just spending time with the family, man. >> Bro, I went to the greatest league, the greatest sports league going today. I went to a game [ __ ] Saturday. I went to the Indiana Fever New York Liberty game. >> You saw the goat. >> Who? >> As Wilson wasn't on that court. >> No. Sabrina. >> Yeah. >> No, I mean obviously I'm talking about Sophie Cunningham. >> Um I like I listen I like Sophie's game. Sophie reminds me of Bill Lambbe Dennis Rodman type. >> Not not not as not as not as tough on defense as them, but the energy is what I'm saying. And I'm not saying like he's she's not those guys are defensive juggernauts, right? But the energy >> that energy that a Bill Lambir had on the court, the energy that Dennis Robin I actually think Sophie kind of holding back a little bit now though. >> Really? >> Yeah. I think she kind of holding back a little bit. >> The internet got to her. >> I think the internet got to her a little bit. I think so. >> Did they boo her? I heard they booed her. >> Not in a Here's the funny thing. There was there was protests outside of the Barlay Center, >> but there was >> I guess you would call them like pro- women protests who are with Sophie and agree with her. >> Oh, >> and that crowd was larger than the anti the the anti- crowd. >> The anti- what? >> I I don't know. I about to say anti-trans, but it's not anti-trans. It's people that are protrans. They protrans. People that are protrans. >> The protrans in women's sports crowd. >> I don't even know if it's pror and women's sports. >> Well, why why else would they protest? That's I think people are I think people are conflating all of the issues and they think that if you say you don't want trans women in sports >> that you're against trans >> then you're against trans. That's what I get from it. But I'm going to be honest with you, it's just such a silly conversation because it's not even a thing. >> It's not even a thing. But I'll tell you one thing. Boy Silver Cunningham had a lot of goddamn people wearing jerseys Saturday night in New York City >> cuz she's fighting for job security. I don't understand why there's a >> I sat next to a whole family. The whole family had on Sophie Cunningham jerseys and I'm like >> is she related to them? >> No. >> Like literally was two kids and and like a mom all of them had Sophie Cunningham jerseys on. And I tell you something else I saw game was over. >> End of the game >> and I could be wrong. I saw my girl Raven Johnson sleuth Raven Johnson. That's why we even went to the game for this. The support Raven and um Sophie Cunningham and Aaliyah Boston, another player came out a few. I only remember seeing like four people play. I could be wrong. I only remember seeing four. And I saw Sophie being very kind to all her supporters. So my point is she's working this moment. >> Explain that. >> She's working the moment. Like she knows she she she got the light on her. She got some attention on her for a lot of for various reasons, right? It's not just because of what the comments she made about the transition. I think the point thing was what really shifted the pivot. Before that, it was when she took down Sheldon for um for Caitlyn. >> She's the enforcer. You got to protect your star. >> She took Sheldon down for Caitlyn. That's when I think her star started to rise. But that point [ __ ] earlier this year really did it. And then the transgender thing, of course, you know, got her the crowd that just wants to use it. uh for political purposes. >> Question. How many dillies thrown? >> None. We I mean now NOW IT'S THE BROWN dildo hitting the court. >> What? >> You didn't see that big 6'10 dildo? That big brown 6' 10 dildo. >> Enus the turkish delight. >> That big brown 6'10 dildo. >> So what happened? Enus Caner pulled up to the Indiana Fever Chicago Sky game in a shirt that said woman, it had the definition of woman on there and to me he just defeated his whole point that he's trying to make. Explain >> because if your point is, you know, you want to protect women's sports and you want to keep, you know, biological men from playing in women's sports, >> at some point you have to say if you have to manufacture a problem for it to be a problem, then it's not a problem, >> right? >> Cuz there's no men trying to play in the WNBA except for you. >> They're not men. >> Well, whatever the [ __ ] There's no train. There's no bi there's nobody born a biological man that wants to play in the WNBA except for you. >> Right. >> And so for you to show up to the game, >> there's no way the dildo hit the free throw. There's no way. It's not on the free throw line, is it? While she's shooting What the [ __ ] And enjoy your sports entertainment experience. It hit the [ __ ] free throw line. Ain't no way the [ __ ] free throw line. >> It's not in the paint. >> It hit the free. By the way, WNBA is cooking, bro. >> Oh, is it sold out? Like, >> bro, is the I I GOT THE STATS RIGHT HERE. IT'S having its best season ever. 73 million unique viewers by the Allstar break. More than all of last season combined. 29 games with over a million viewers view viewers compared to 11 all of last year up 16% in attendance leaguewide. 19,783 people at the All-Star game in Chicago outdrawing the NBA All-Star game for the first time ever. >> Wow. >> People are watching all this [ __ ] All this [ __ ] is good for the league. If they had a [ __ ] commissioner that could really bring all this [ __ ] together, it'd be incredible. They got a [ __ ] great product on the court, number one. The game's always fun to watch. Then you got all this drama. [ __ ] throwing green dildos. You got Enus Caner throwing up, showing up to the games. >> They got the tallest Asians I've ever seen. Yo, the Liberty >> now has a Asian that's like 67, bro. >> Wow. Okay. >> You didn't see her? Her name is Hanu. And every time she makes a basket, it sounds LIKE THEY'RE GOING RA YOU CAN DO THE ANNOUNCE BE LIKE >> PERFECT. >> YO, look at what's her name? Hanu, right? >> How tall is Hanu? >> 611. >> 61. >> That's crazy. >> 61 7 footer around all the >> Chinese. >> So they let trans in already. >> All right. See what I'm saying? All right. See what I'm saying? That was unnecessary. >> See what I'm saying? >> We're trying to be progressive on this. >> See the [ __ ] I'm saying? I would try. >> I was just under. But why was that? Why was that? Was that even necessary? That was completely pointless. >> Come on. >> You wouldn't let her walk on your back. >> Oh, 100%. >> She I mean, she's huge. It can ball. >> She plays for the Liberty. >> Yeah. >> She Hen. >> Yo, every time she was >> Yeah, bro. Han ain't playing. >> Oh, man. >> I like the WNB. I don't give a [ __ ] what y'all say. I ain't I >> You We haven't said anything. >> I know. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. >> IS THAT the problem? >> The [ __ ] >> You're doing the heist cancer [ __ ] right now. >> You create a problem that doesn't exist. We're asking you about your experience at this place and you're getting defensive. We're trying to enjoy it. >> I've been the mad game, but I'm just saying yes. >> What about the All-Star game? >> No. No. Hold up. >> I didn't like that. >> Caitlyn Clark, best player in the league, obviously, right? No, >> but like not >> she's the number one player in the league >> based on what? >> Skin color. >> BOX OFFICE. >> BOX box office. Yeah, she's box office, but she's not the best player in the league. >> Not >> is she top five? >> Top five player in the league. Top 10. >> She just dropped 37 last night. >> Yeah. And Kelsey Mitchell, who's the best player on that team, had like 33 34. >> You think she's not even the best player on her own team? >> I know she's not the best player on her own team. Kelsey Mitchell is the best player on the Indiana FIFA. Like, it's not even close. >> You know a lot of these players, BRO. >> I WATCHED THE GAMES. >> IF I'M BEING HONEST, I THINK YOU KNOW more WNBA players than NBA. >> YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT BECAUSE FOR THE LAST AT least five, six, seven years, the women got more of an identity than the guys. Listen, I started watching women's college basketball when Don Staley became, you know, the coach of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks, and I've been hooked ever since. I've seen all these I I've seen all of these women come into college. The Caitlyn's the Angel Reese's. I saw when they first started when Adri played at Maryland. >> How much is Rock Nation paying you to say this? >> They got Do they have a WNBA division? >> How much are they paying you to say this, bro? >> Rock Nation don't pay me to do nothing. I do it for the sport. That's what they don't understand. I do this [ __ ] cuz I like to do. >> CHARLEMAGNE IS COMPROMISED. >> I do it because I like to do it. >> Guys, no. I You know, listen. I see a lot of you out there saying Charlemagne is compromised, bro. I just want to let you know that this is this is true love, man. >> True love. >> I'm not compromised. I do it for the sport. What did you just pull up, Alex? >> Uh top five WNBA players right now. Currently >> Asia Wilson number one. Kayla Clark number two. >> Alyssa Thomas number three. Angel Reese number four. >> What what what uh what what uh what site is this? >> Where's the new one? >> Where's the new girl? Uh what's her face >> exactly? If if Olivia Miles ain't in top five, >> not even Olivia Miles. The the white girl. That's what I'm saying. Like like but by the way you got to see Olivia Miles. >> Is part of this the fact that you have three sorry four daughters. >> Oh the pull this is what you do Alex. Go to YouTube pull up Olivia Miles 30 seconds. Pull up Olivia Miles 30 seconds. Olivia Miles 30 seconds. This happened the other night. Watch this sequence. This is a 30 secondond sequence at the start of the game. Let me see. Olivia Miles had the most insane 30. Watch this. Olivia Miles might be >> She's a rookie. Why you doing that, Alex? Oh, >> you want me? >> Yeah. Play it. I pull it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. >> Might be the best sequence in WNBA history. Look at >> nice little >> nice scoop steel buckets. >> So, she already got a layup and Steu had another layup. And then on the other end, a couple seconds later, she smashed that >> nice steal. >> Went coast to co. >> What accent is this guy have? >> Money. >> Okay. >> Too much of a bag. >> Nice little assist. >> She's a rookie. >> Number two pick in the draft. >> Nice finish. She got little kids dressing like her at the game, bro. With the afro and the goggles. >> What she's going to do? Either deliver or get her spotted. >> Wow. Filthy. >> Yeah. >> Easy. Too. She's what they want Caitlyn to be. >> Oh, that's nice. Okay. >> What you mean? She's what they want Caitlin to be. >> Stop hating, bro. >> Yo, bro. Olivia dominates games, bro. >> Yeah, but why you doing this, bro? >> It's just the truth. >> BUT YOU DON'T GOT to hate Kaitlin to love her. I don't hate Caitlyn. WELCOME TO THE [ __ ] BIG LEAGUES, YOUNG LADIES. WHEN YOU GET COMPARED TO OTHER PLAYERS, OKAY, where people are going to say THIS PERSON'S NICER. PAIGE IS NICER THAN CAITLYN. >> You think? >> Oh, easy, easy. >> I don't know, man. I think >> easy. >> After having watched no games, I feel like Caitlin might be the best player in the league. After having watched zero games, I really believe that. >> What is this you pulled up now? >> No, I just wanted to see the top 10 to see if >> Top 10 what? >> Players in the league. players >> based off what? This is like AI overview or some [ __ ] >> Stats go up. Current stats. >> That can't be right, bro. >> Go up. Let's see. >> Asia definitely number one. Dominating everything. We already know that. Best player in the [ __ ] world. South Carolina all day. Kelsey Mitchell. >> You got Caitlyn at two, Kelsey at three. That makes no sense when Kelsey Mitchell is averaging 24 a game. 44% from three-pointer. Caitlin's averaging 22.1. >> Kaitlin's averaging 22 and 8. 22 AND >> BECAUSE SHE GOT KELSEY. PASS ME THE BALL, PIPPEN. >> YEAH, BUT YOU still got to pass the person the ball in a way that they can score it. >> Kelsey's much better than Caitlyn. She's She's just She's just much She's a much better You got to watch If you watch the games, you'll see Kelsey Mitchell's just a dog. She's just And Kaitlin's good. >> You can't talk about women like Dude, I I've been doing this pod with you for for long. For so long. >> You can't refer to women as dogs, Charlmagne. >> Those are dogs on the court. All right. Kelsey Mitchell is a dog. She gets busy. Okay. We We can't do this when it comes to basketball. Yo. All right. Okay. >> I honestly I thought that you've grown. >> You want me to call them cats? >> I thought you Yes. >> Yo, you know what? Kelsey's a cat on the card. >> No, I think that's a little bit better. You can't call them doggies. >> Question though. Why, you know, I do wonder this from white people. >> Yeah. Why does this generation of white people, white WNBA players, rub people the wrong way as opposed to the Diana Terrasis, the Bana Stewarts? They were much better, especially DT. Much better ball player than the Caitlyn Clark. >> What do you mean rub people the wrong way? >> This generation of white people is Caitlyn Clark. Those Sophia Cunninghams, they're rubbing people the wrong way. Why? Um, I don't know. That's a great question. When you be you you're like, "Why aren't they as celebrated as the past white players in the W?" >> We've seen great white players before, >> I think. >> And Sophie's not Sophie's a good Sophie's a good role player. >> Nobody cared before. I think that's why. And I think now with more people caring, like the fact that people are even comparing WNBA players, that's never happened in my life. Like there was never a time in my life where people like is Lisa Leslie better than Diana Terzi whatever that nobody try to start that conversation >> casual way >> never watch enough to even say but you're someone who actually watches the game you know way more of these players than you know NBA players. >> So it's like >> you I mean as a gay guy what do you think like what is your opinion on it? >> The NBA players don't have personalities anymore. You can't even name who came out in the draft this year. >> I can't. >> Who? >> Marcus Aurelius. >> Shut the [ __ ] up, man. Shout out to the sto the daily stoic. That's not true. You You can't name one player that came out of the W the NBA this year that came into the league. >> Whoa. >> Wow. >> It's been like this for the last >> You know, more WNBA players. >> It's been like that for the last few years. And >> I know I know one rookie, two rookies for the WNBA. You know what? But that's also there's an issue with that with which is like college basketball for men sucks now >> because of the one and done [ __ ] >> Exactly. >> In college they stay for three years. >> So you build up these identities. >> You build up identities. They build up storylines. >> Yeah. They're more marketable in that way. In the NBA we got to like make sure that they can become stars and then most of them fizzle out. So now you have these guys that weren't even predicted as stars now never make it. >> The NBA should change it. The NBA should change the tough age limit to enter the NBA. Now, >> it's tricky because it'll start to weaken the actual NBA product. Yo, >> so now >> you need stars, bro. You need more wimies. You need more people coming into the league as rookies that people are excited about. Like, oh [ __ ] >> So, so here's the thing. It's like now that the NIL deals work, >> you could probably get away with that. >> Yes. before the NIL deals basically forcing a kid to not make generational wealth like you know what I mean like that's a really tricky situation but I I I do look two years what do you think three years now >> I think two listen skill-wise this draft for the NBA probably was one of the best drafts ever or the NBA >> NBA >> like who did you like in a draft >> AJ Dopster he went number one who's the dude that Chicago drafted at five pull that up uh Alec flip to pull up uh top five NBA draft picks 2026. Carlos Boozer son, >> he went uh I forgot. I think he went maybe number three, but AJ Dops is nice. But that dude who the Bulls drafted, I can't even remember his [ __ ] name, but I've been watching him in the summer leagues. Beasting. What's his name? All right. Wizards got AJ Dopster. Jazz got Darren Peter. Darren Peterson. Nice. Memphis Grizzlies. Cameron Booz Bulls. Khalib Wilson. That's who it is. >> Caleb Wilson. >> Caleb Wilson. Nice. Nice. But my point is, other than probably Cameron, >> bro, you're so right about this, there is no marketing for the future stars of the NBA that happened in college. You used to leave college a superstar. >> Do you remember Jason Williams? >> Yes. >> At Duke. >> But that's why I know Cameron played for Duke. >> Sure. >> Tournament. >> Sure. But like I'll be honest with you, not cutting through. >> And that's Carlos Boozer's son. >> Yeah. >> Got two of them. One's still at Duke. >> That's right. >> You know what I'm saying? >> You got to keep these people in the league. I mean, in the in the in the college for at least two years. >> I mean, look, it's advantageous for the NBA because two ways. >> One, you get to build a star before it comes to league. Two, players don't have to, sorry, teams don't have to cough up insane contracts. >> See what I'm saying? >> Off a gamble. >> You see what I'm saying? >> Oh, that's what I want to talk to you about now that we're talking about sports. >> Talk to me. Uh, have you heard this conversation about like should private equity be able to own sports franchises? >> Yes. >> What are your thoughts on it? >> I don't I think capital is capital. Like why can't private equity own sports franch? Are you basing this off the Lakers? >> Uh, the Lakers, but I think they're like trying to buy in some other things. So So just by now basically guys like a private equity firm is a firm that will raise a bunch of money and like the the single goal for that firm is to get a return on that investment for >> Yeah. if private equity can invest in anything else. They invest in everything, movies, all types of [ __ ] Like, >> well, I hear that argument. I hear the argument. >> Okay. >> And then the argument that they would make is they're incentivized to make the team better because if the team isn't better, then people don't want to go watch the team and then they're not going to make any ROI. Yeah. >> But because what they're doing is applying like the free market to sports franchises. I don't think sports franchises are the free market. I am a Knicks fan. M >> I will only like the Knicks for my entire life and I have only liked the Knicks for my entire life. I've liked them when they're absolutely horrible. I like them when they're champions of the world. >> The market doesn't adjust. The Knicks suck for decades and we rock with them. We sold out that [ __ ] arena every single night. So when you put private equity, right, like the the ideal version of an owner is like a Mark Cuban, like a benevolent [ __ ] billionaire who's like, I'm just going to dump money into this because my ego is caught into making this team succeed and I'm going to put more money than other people in into every part of the team so that we can't get that championship. And then the worst owner is like the Clippers owner who's like, I'm not going to really pay people and this is just an investment. I'll hold on to it. But I don't think that you can just go, "Yeah, private equity is just like capital and capital could go whatever he wants because it's not a free market. I'm never gonna not be a Knicks fan." So I need to know who's in control of that team. That person who's in control of that team actually cares about satisfying himself and winning, not just getting the most return for their investment. >> The Knicks are a unique a unique case though cuz it's New York City, which is already the most expensive city in the [ __ ] country. Okay. Right. and the fact of the the fact that the Knicks do have a diehard fan base that's going to show up and sell out this [ __ ] arena all the time. Like there's a lot more to New York than >> let's say a Charlotte. Nobody's putting up with a whack Charlotte team. You know what I'm saying? >> But that's on that's on Charlotte though. >> It is. But if if Charlotte's not winning, that means they can't put the butts in the seats. So now they got to make concessions. Now they got to make ticket prices cheaper. You know what I'm saying? Now they got to make the merch and stuff cheaper. I would think I would think they would have to adjust to the market. New York always adjusts to the market. Meaning like, oh, they still coming. They still spending. Oh, put the prices up even more. You know what I'm saying? There's still a garden at the end of the day. >> Yeah. I just think that like a a sports franchise is not it's not the same as like a regular asset. Like for example, if the if the team needs a new arena, the taxpayers pay for it. >> That's it's unbelievable. >> So like first of all, I disagree with that. I completely disagree. >> Second of all, I think because of that reason alone, you shouldn't be able to take a franchise and move it to another state. >> I think that should be illegal. >> And if you do do that, you have to pay back the taxpayers the investment that they put into the team because we're paying all this money so that you can have this beautiful arena so that you guys can play in. You get the equity increase of the team playing in that beautiful arena. Maybe being able to attract other stars. People want to be part of this amazing franchise that we have put our hard-earned money into, but we're not treated as investors. >> It would be interesting if they if these teams had some type of like residence tax almost to where like there's a fee that is paid that like that arena has to give back to like local local communities. >> I think we should local organizations or something. I think I think if we supply the money for the arena, if the taxpayers, >> we should get equity the tax base get equity in the team. >> What would that look like though for a whole city? >> So what I would say is like again I know I'm financially illiterate so like don't take my word on this but more like if there is a sale of the team the equity base that we have in that sale goes to the city budget or the state budget whatever it is and then we get to disperse that capital. >> I'm not mad at that. But I what I what I'm saying I think that some of these teams should have to allocate certain amounts of money every year to certain different community organizations. >> If we paid for your [ __ ] arena, you better believe you should kick back. >> I think they would argue that, oh, we're providing jobs for people in the area. >> And I would say you're not providing jobs. We're providing jobs cuz we're paying for the arena. They give >> taxpayers are paying for the [ __ ] arena. Yes. >> I hate when people do that [ __ ] They're like, we're providing jobs. Who's we? >> Yeah. I'm part of that. I'm part of the Wii. I'm part of the reason you can afford to pay these [ __ ] I'm not >> There are some teams that they want to build their own arena or they raise private funds to build their own arena. Okay, that's on you. If you want to move the team, I guess you could. I would actually make a rule where there was like a penalty to move a team. >> What's the debate against private capital? Cuz I would think that all of these guys if they don't have their own wealth, they're going to get private capital. >> The debate is like like we've seen before and a lot of people make this complaint now, which is like let's say there's like a tequila brand. it gets really popular. Private equity comes in, buys the tequila brand, then they switch the ingredients to make the ingredients cheaper, and they're not using real agave. They're using just regular sugar or whatever. Now, the quality of the tequila goes down, and they don't mind selling it because it's already this big successful thing that you're going to buy at the restaurant. Tequila, whatever. We don't really care about that. You can go to another tequila. I can't go to another team. So, what are you going to do? How are you going to like hollow out that franchise financially so that you can make a huge return for your investors? Or or if you're private equity, do you go, "We're not going to invest any money in this team. All sports franchises rise as long as the league does better. And in 10 years, we're just going to sell it for more without investing any money in it." And then our investors get all this money. >> You should get James Dolan off flagrant. You should you should ask him >> what made him finally start investing into the Knicks the way that he should. Well, I mean, if you look at the Melo, you look at the Melo deal, they invested in it. You look at Bro, not only Melo, uh, what's it called? Uh, >> you know why? You know why I didn't like the Melo deal? >> I can't believe I'm blanking on the Phil. Phil Phil got like 25 million or something like that to coast the team. We were >> or to be the uh the GM or whatever as a president of operations >> basketball operations. The Melo deal was [ __ ] up cuz all he had to do was wait for Melo to be a free agent, sign me Melo and free agency. They gave away too many assets that could have [ __ ] potentially made them be a championship team. >> Yeah, but like listen, I'm not trying to I'm not trying to cap, right, for decisions that were made in the past. Obviously, we want to win every single time. But the other argument is like hindsight is 2020. We gave up five picks for Muel Bridges. If the Knicks lose, everybody's going, "Why the [ __ ] do we give five picks?" The Knicks won. Now everybody's like, "Those picks were worthless. Who gives a [ __ ] about those picks?" >> But all they had to do was wait a half a season. >> But then what what if what if Denver trades HIM BEFORE THAT? WANTED TO COME TO NEW YORK. He wanted to come to New York. >> He's signed up to Melo. What if Denver trades him before that? >> I don't got to sign. If I'm Melo, you trade me, I still don't got to sign with this other team. >> So, they might just have you keep you for the end of the season. >> That's it. And I go to New York in free agency. I mean, like you said, hindsight is 2020, but I just never understood that. >> That would have been a smarter decision for sure. But maybe they thought that this year was the year that they could actually do it. I don't know. I just I I would love to talk have a conversation with him and just ask him when did you realize I got to start in and it's funny that you cuz I remember when they won he goes sorry it took this long it won't take this long next time. >> Yeah. >> Jim number one number one congratulations to you. Um back in January you were saying you know what I think we should get to the finals and I think we should win the finals. What did you see in this team in January that thought that you're going to be standing here on this night? >> I saw a team. We were A TEAM. WE'VE BEEN A team the WHOLE TIME. BUT I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO NEW YORK. HEY NEW YORK, I'M SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG, but here we are. And hopefully it won't take that long again. >> Congratulations. And I wonder what's the mindset like what's the mindset that makes you finally just start investing over the last couple years? And by the way, did they really invest? >> Let's keep it real. >> Let's keep very real. Nobody outside of >> New Yorkers thought that the Knicks had a chance. >> I you [ __ ] you can narrow it down again. Nobody outside of the Brunen family. >> Okay. Nobody outside of the Brunson family. >> New Yorkers. Then they got a couple of people in the organization on board like I think this guy could really delusional. >> Worldwide West. Shout out to West. >> Yo, shout out to West. >> But I THOUGHT Y'ALL WAS GOING TO WIN IT every year. I I really do win. >> But that's our problem. The delusional optimism that it takes to live in the city and succeed in this city. We then apply to our sports franchises and then we believe every single year they're going to win. And then we got some [ __ ] guy from Italy running point Pion or whatever. this guy he got they got some guy who was 47 years old with no birth certificate from Italy running point and all of us were like nah this is going to be the year pion is going to bring >> insanity is the one that made me >> there's people already talking three peep before we even got the second >> gang >> I don't have a problem with it >> that's fine >> next year the confidence is going to be through the roof for them like and like they're they're going to be out of control >> because who we really got to worry about we know we could beat San Antonio that's easy that was light work we know we could beat San Antonio and >> going to be good next year Yeah, but we beat them in a way where like you'll you can never recover psychologically from that. Like what we did to them was was honestly it was it was molestation. Like it was it was something that will give you trauma for the rest of your life. >> Damn. >> That game game four >> Neil spawning around the rim. >> All of it. >> Game four is you can never recover psychologically from that. You'll never feel safe with the lead against us or maybe any other team again. >> Yeah, it's PTSD. I >> know that it's funny cuz I' i've heard stories about like San Antonio Spurs players, they don't even like to high five anymore. >> Why How do they Were they low five? >> They don't even like to do it. They get offended. >> No more five. >> They get offended. That's what That's what I heard. They get offended, yo. Like, yo, [ __ ] you trying to be funny? >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? >> I mean, yeah. Yeah, we all >> like what the [ __ ] you walk up to women and be like high five. What the [ __ ] else am I supposed to do? You're 7 foot [ __ ] six, bro. >> Yeah. Yeah. You got to take that. >> Yo, uh the concessions that are sold at a game, is that going to the Knicks organization or MSG? Like who does that go to? >> I think that MSG, right? Don't Don't they get a percentage? >> No, I think that like I mean like when you're when you're a comedian doing it or when you do when >> No, the Knicks. It's like when the Knicks >> So when the Knicks are playing like the Knicks are owned by the person who also owns the Madison Square Garden. >> Okay. >> So naturally Dolan or that goes back to that group. >> If it let's say private equity got involved. >> Can they like start uh cheapening the quality of the food or raise food and drink prices? >> No. Because like you're only going to do that when they're doing a Knicks game and not when there's like an Ariana Grande concert. >> Yeah. >> I mean maybe they could potentially do that. They could look into all the things for sure. Y'all don't get piece of the concessions, right, when you do the comedy? >> I didn't. But there might be somebody that like, you know, in their contract they go, "Hey, I want a piece of everything going on here." >> Yeah. Yeah. They make a lot of money, right? >> But also doing the garden is such a like everybody knows there's something you want to do. So they have all the leverage. When you're doing an arena in some like random city, you probably can put a little more pressure on the deal and get a piece of everything. >> I don't have a problem with private um capital. Yo, >> private equity. private equity. None whatsoever. >> No, I'm Whether you have a problem or not, you mean you're saying in sports specifically, >> period. It's it's it's money. It's private equity. Like go that's I thought that be honest with you. I'm shocked that a team has never been bought because of private equity has to be. >> Are the goals aligned? That's the tricky thing. Are the goals aligned? >> If you want an ROI, I would think so. >> Like I don't even know if we should let people not from America buy a team. >> Ooh, >> wow. That's interesting. I mean, yeah, >> but I'm down with us buying all their teams. >> I'm 100% down with us buying every single one of their teams, but like I don't know. >> Owning a team is very specific, right? Like you have to want to do that. Like you have to want business. >> That's what we hope >> you you know like >> most of these teams don't make money. >> No, >> they make money when they sell. Like naturally the asset goes up over years and years, but like they're not making money dayto-day. There's a handful of teams in the league that make money and the players are probably making more money than the whole team itself. >> I mean, listen, you you know you know why the Lakers sold, right? >> Yeah, cuz my man was giving him what's it called? Like uh what was he doing? He was like, >> "Yeah, can y'all break that down?" Cuz I still don't get >> My buddy tried to break it down to me. It was way too smart for me. But it was something like he had affiliate businesses that he was selling things from his other businesses too. Is that the breakdown? >> Yo man, Mark Walter, majority owner, moved to sell his stake after coming under federal investigation regarding undisclosed loans and investments tied to his insurance companies, creating an urgent need to liquidate major assets. to sell to buyers. Josh Kushner, Jared Kushner's brother, and Bob Iger capitalizes on a rapid 2.5 billion value increase in just over a year, shooting the team's worth up to 12.5 billion from the 10 billion it was valued at when Walter initially bought in. Don't be surprised if that investigation just goes away. >> Ooh. Because of the connection of Kosher. >> Well, to me, it's like >> No, but isn't it beneficial for them to have that investigation? >> The investigation got nothing forcing that guy to sell. >> Yeah. The investigation is what's forcing a sale. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, the investigation won't go away. >> They want that investigation. >> Maybe if that's part of it. You want this investigation to go away, buddy. >> Sell the team. >> Yeah. >> Well, he doesn't have a he doesn't have a choice whether to sell a team or not basically. >> And he's selling a portion of his uh soccer team. >> Yeah, cuz he owes like $20 billion. >> Hold on. Let me pull up the other part of the story. >> Yeah. Let me get that help. >> I want to get a quick break. >> 20 billion. >> Something insane. And it's like coming due. Like he owes two billion in a month and like 20 billion in the near future. >> What happened when billionaires just used to kill itself when [ __ ] like that used to happen? >> Yo, you remember that? >> It's not too late. >> I'm just saying like, oh [ __ ] this just came out. Was this a rumor that he's selling uh the Dodgers? He might sell the Dodgers now. >> Oh, you got to sell it all. >> Uh >> you got to sell it all. >> How can a an empire like how can you build up >> cuz these [ __ ] are greedy, bro? Like that's what I was saying before. Make all this money. >> How do you build up that much money on a house of cards like this where it could just like collapse this instant? >> Is it a house of Was it a house of cards though? >> The fact that he's being forced to sell his teams is crazy. >> It's never enough, man. It's never enough. >> [ __ ] >> So, you keep stretching yourself thin and then different things happen economically, rates change, and uh >> I'm trying to find the [ __ ] article, man. Hold on. I didn't have this one queued up on my phone. Hold on. Mark Walter sold labor. >> So, according to the Wall Street Journal, investigators are examining complicated transactions involving insurance companies Walter Walter controls lending money into affiliated businesses. >> Yes. So, roughly 20 billion in loans allegedly weren't disclosed to Delaware insurance regulators. No criminal charges have been filed against Walter. So, so this is an investigation not finding that he committed fraud. >> They say there's an urgent need for liquidity. >> Yeah, because I guess those loans are coming due. >> Yeah. >> Hold on. >> That's crazy. There was another angle. Hold on, guys. >> What's that? >> Hold on real quick. I don't want to say it until I say it. Hold on. Yes. Okay. So, there's a Trump angle. Mark Walter is being investigated by federal prosecutors in the SEC. Those investigations are occurring under the Trump administration. Walter then abruptly sells the Lakers to a group led by Josh Kushner. Jared Kushner's younger brother. Jared, of course, is President President Trump's son-in-law. The sequences led to speculation that Walter could have fel felt pressure to sell to someone connected to the Trump Kushner orbit. Forbes specifically reported that the transaction has spawned theories of a possible quidd proquo. because of the timing of the investigation and sale. Yahoo has reported the same theory and notes that the White House denies any involvement. >> So, you're saying that they put the investigation out there so that it could force the sale? >> Maybe. >> That would make sense. >> I mean, here's the real question. >> Yeah. It says federal investigators scrutinized complicated transactions involving insurers. >> How are they going to recoup $12.5 billion? >> That's what I be saying. Remember, talk about >> workers don't make this money. Remember when we had this conversation a few weeks ago? >> Tell me. >> Remember when I was telling you about I had the opportunity to invest in a franchise? >> Yeah. >> And I was just like, "These numbers don't even make no sense. How do you make these numbers back in the long run?" >> And and and and this [ __ ] is like supposed to come in at like 67 billion. Who is going to have that to buy in the future? How? And I know everybody's saying, "Well, the Lakers just sold for 12.5, you know, after." But they just sold for 10. I mean, yeah, he 10 months later he's going to make $2 and half billion dollars, but I'm trying to find how much Lakers make a year in profit. Hey, >> it ain't that, bro. You got to hold on to that team for a long time. >> Well, that's the thing. These things will never going to I mean, they make 170 million in annual profit and you get to write off all this [ __ ] So, these like billionaires write off the losses against their other businesses. >> This out of my price range. I don't know. This I can't I'm economically illiterate. Yeah, we sitting there having a conversation that I can't even discuss. I don't even know why it's beneficial. I get it. I guess >> I mean, you're just holding a fixed asset, a controlled asset, right? Like they're not they're m they're not really making more franchises. So these things as the sport gets more popular automatically grow. It's not a free market. That's another thing. You can't just it's not a free market. So we can't apply free market economics to it. You can't just make a new sports franchise. If the Knicks suck, I can't just make another New York team and put it up in New York. The NBA won't accept it. The other team owners won't accept it. So, it's not it's it's not a monopoly, but you have almost a monopoly on the franchise within your city. >> That's why [ __ ] these dicks. Invest in the WNBA, bro. WNBA got like five or six new franchises coming. You think it's a game? >> Why didn't you? >> Oh, I get why you all about this [ __ ] man. bet in your book getting >> I've been like this for five SIX YEARS. Y'ALL KNOW THIS. I'VE BEEN talking about women which which franchise you invested in. >> I don't know yet. >> You probably the one throwing at dildos. You know what it's doing to the radiance. This guy's the most diabolical marketing genius I ever met in my life. He got a whole dildo factory in Cambodia making the green joints just to get chucked on those [ __ ] center. This [ __ ] is bright. Okay. They hit the floor. Everybody notices them immediately. Okay. All right. >> They threw they threw a brown one and he called him immediately. He's like, I need something shiny. >> We doing the purple for the playoffs. >> Nice. >> That's why he's always shouting out studs. >> Yo, >> shout out to the stud budge. No, for real. All jokes aside, if I was to invest in a franchise, I would invest in the WNBA. WNBA got like Houston's got a franchise coming. Philly's got a franchise coming. I think Detroit's got a franchise coming. Who else? I hope Charlotte gets one. Charlotte gets one, I'm definitely gonna be all in. >> Yeah. >> I mean, I'mma ask. I don't know if they'll let me be a part of it, but >> Yeah, >> I'mma ask. Shout out to the WNBA though, man. Best league in the world right now. >> They killing it. >> What? Yes. What else we got? Um, Alex Media. >> Okay. So, this is Taylor's List. I don't know what any >> Yo, what's the No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [ __ ] all that New Yorkers. What's up with this sewer [ __ ] Yo, >> tell me. >> I DON'T KNOW. I'M ASKING Y'ALL. >> YOU TELL ME. >> I DON'T [ __ ] KNOW. WHY ARE PEOPLE CRAWLING OUT OF THIS? >> Several people climbing out of a manhole near Penn Station. Video posted to social media shows people in overalls and what appears to be emerged from the manholes. >> Those are actual moments, bro. We've seen the fantastic. They're dressed like the moment. >> NYPD says it is aware of this video. The Department of Environmental Protection inspected the sewer system. Did not find any. What movie are they promoting? This video follows similar underground sightings in Brooklyn and Queens earlier this year. It's unclear whether all three incidents are connected. >> Shocking new video. Come on, man. >> I'll be honest. I'm shocked more people don't go down there. >> Like you can you could just lift open those manholes. I thought you needed a key or something like that to get them. >> They're heavy. But you could just lift them up. >> Yeah. Go down there for what? >> This is New York, bro. It's just Rent is high, man. This is the thing. This is the thing, bro. You know where the rent is always frozen? Underground. You don't need to worry about an increase in rent when you live with the Ninja Turtles and Splinter and all the other, you know, foot soldiers or whatever the [ __ ] it is. This is normal for New York. >> No, it's not. >> And the fact that nobody's asking any question, this how you know New York is a weird place, right? And and and one of the only places on the planet where this [ __ ] is just a [ __ ] quick little story. >> Hey man, there's people climbing out of manholes. Hey man, we got we got more [ __ ] to worry about. >> No, no, we need to know what the [ __ ] is going on. >> What do you think it is, >> bro? I don't know. Cuz they dressed like Mole, man. I thought I knew >> they do have a speific outfit. >> They got a specific outfit >> cuz before, >> you know what I'm saying? >> They had another specific outfit. >> That's what I'm saying. >> They had another specific outfit. >> Understood that. I was like, "Okay, >> how do you what did you understand about that one?" I was just listening to Dove Dove. Dove >> just throwing it on. >> Dove. No, no, no. Dove made me understand. Dove was trying to explain it to me. And I was like, you know what? My business like I don't need to know what's got Dove. I get what he explain. >> Listen, I don't even As soon as like I said, Dove, why is this happening? And he was like, look, Palestine. I said, yo, >> yo, yo, yo, >> they got tunnels. >> Don't I'm like, I get it. Cool. You know what I mean? This I don't understand. And they're dressed like mold men, bro. >> Yeah, >> that don't make no [ __ ] sense to me. >> Well, maybe they had to switch up the outfits because it was, you know, >> exposing them. >> They're like, listen, if we wear the hats and everything like that, they're going to know it's us. So, we got to dress like minions. >> If we dress like minions, nobody will know who the [ __ ] it is. >> You know what else pisses me off about this? How the [ __ ] they don't know who these people are? What happened to all this facial recognition and all this [ __ ] You know what I mean? >> What the [ __ ] is going on? Everybody's talking about how much of a horrible thing these flat cameras are. Have they caught anybody? Flock or whatever. Have they caught anybody yet? >> How do we know they even working? >> N they work. >> Yeah. >> I just read a story. I read a story where this guy uh this former police officer >> was keeping tabs on his ex-wife >> using a flock camera. >> Yes. And >> said he said he said he called her in like 725 times in the span of a year and a half. >> And we're saying this is a bad idea. What you mean? You mean >> we're against this? >> I for I mean, you can't do that. You don't want to be under constant surveillance, do you? >> You never had an ex-wife. >> If she's my ex, I DON'T GIVE A [ __ ] where she's at. He said he cared about the kids, though. He wanted to know where the kids was at. I don't believe that. You wanted to know about that [ __ ] Pull that up. >> That's what it is. >> That's what it is. That's what it is. You wanted to know where his ex-wife was, who his ex-wife was out here sleeping with, man. >> Pull that up. Pull that up. Uh, Alex, >> I mean, you got to have some good [ __ ] if you go into the flock camera registry. Follow your ex around. >> Don't say it like that. >> Flock. Flock or flock? >> Flock. >> I thought it's flock. It's not flock. >> I don't know. >> Flock of It's flock. >> I don't know. >> It's flock. Yeah. Oh, see. No. No. It was one in general. Was it the Florida one? Uh, yes. Christopher Goodson. He was arrested after an internal investigation revealed he searches a strange ex-wife's license plate. 717 times over a 2-year period. It's only 365 days in a year. Goodson claimed he was monitoring his children, but he was ultimately charged with official misconduct and computer crimes. Same thing here. Officer Sergio Rodriguez was fired and indicted in Fort Ben County on charges of stalking and misuse of public information. Internal affair documents revealed he used the Flock Camera Network more than 2300 times to stalk his to stalk his exartner. Damn. I don't. No. When it's over, it's over, bro. Let it go. Let it go. >> Go down one more cuz there's a girl. I want to see what she was using for >> Same thing. Officer Elizabeth Snowman was arrested and jailed after a commanding officer's audit caught her using flock cameras to track her boyfriend's ex-wife. >> Damn [ __ ] >> Why the [ __ ] do you care about what your boyfriend's ex-wife is doing? >> No. Why? >> Here's the other one. Same thing. Former officer Joseé Ala Ayala was sentenced to one-year probation after pleading guilty to misuse in the Milwaukee Police Department's flock system database to track his ex-girlfriend and her partner more than 170 times. >> But you know Latinos can't help themselves, man. Like you know that that's in the DNA. There's a jealousy in the DNA. You can't give them access blocks. >> Damn [ __ ] We did name two Latinos. Godamn Sergio Rodriguez and [ __ ] Joseé Ala. I'mma just assume Elizabeth Snowman is >> white because of Snowman. Christopher Goodson is definitely white. My point is when the person is gone, they're gone. You don't got to put them under surveillance, bro. For what? >> No, you're right. >> Why would you even want to do that to yourself? >> That's the right logical thing. But I'm not saying that we don't all do it. >> But why? WE DON'T. WHY WOULD YOU WANT to do that to yourself? Why would you torture yourself right now? >> People do it on Instagram. People do on these other things. They shouldn't be able to do it on this. >> Block me for my own good. Yeah, that's true. >> I don't want you to see me over here popping this pom pom for a goon. >> Okay, >> but they do want you to see that, man. >> I don't. >> They were probably running around looking for flock cameras to twerk in front of >> just Why would you want to do that to somebody, man? Let that [ __ ] go. Let it go. Let it go. I ain't stalking nobody. Yo, we break up. We break up. That is what it is. >> Yeah, fair enough. >> Um, what else we got?

Um Hezekiah Walker. >> Yes, sir. >> Let's talk YouTube. >> Talk to me. >> Um I don't know if y'all saw the news. >> Talk to me. up, Alex, if we don't have it already pulled up. >> Love this. >> The news about YouTube. YouTube. Um, hold on. Let me tell you. I'm getting old, man. You know, I can't remember things like I used to. Got to look things up. >> YouTube, uh, where was the headline I'm looking for? Okay. Yes. YouTube offers creators millions to not work with Netflix. YouTube is offering creators millions to not work with Netflix. YouTube is offering millions of dollars to popular channels if they upload their videos to the site exclusively for a certain period of time in an effort to halt Netflix's pursuit of its biggest stars. According to people familiar with the conversations, the payment would come in a couple of different forms. YouTube has discussed directly financing some programs and it is also offered to all lot a portion of major brand deals to creators though YouTube hasn't finalized deals with any creators. It is close uh an agreement with se it is close to an agreement with several partners said the people who declined to be identified because the negotiations are sensitive and ongoing. Creators who do sign deals with Netflix face consequences. YouTube has said, according to the people, YouTube will be less likely to feature them in marketing campaigns or at events if they release videos on Netflix at the same time. YouTube would also exclude those creators from collecting a share of proceeds from some major brand campaigns. >> Whoa, whoa. Talk to me, Charlotte. What you thinking? >> I think this is great for the game. Listen, I'm one of the people who told y'all years ago that you can't really build a business on YouTube. I think that, you know, because of the way YouTube can demonetize your content whenever they want to, because of the way YouTube can suppress your content whenever they want to, >> it just kind of makes whatever that business is that you're trying to build unstable. YouTube is the best for when it comes to discovery, >> reach, >> you know, when it comes to, >> you know, reach, when it comes to um, you know, making you a part of the algorithm to push your content, the people who may not necessarily get it, you know, they're the best. But when I saw YouTube do this and I saw the other feature that they added to where now you don't even have to watch a certain amount of the video anymore. As soon as you click the video first frame, it counts as a view and that's going to go towards monetization. I said, "Oh, they're making it more beneficial for the creator as they should." YouTube was a record label, you [ __ ] would be screaming, >> "Oh, I'm sorry. Great. >> Great." >> Okay. All right. SA. >> Mark that. Y'ALL WOULD BE SCREAMING SA and not Stephen A. Okay. Y'all would be screaming. But if I'm if it was, you would be >> outraged at the amount of profits that this company is receiving compared to its creators. And let's be for real. >> I mean, so much so that we go out and get our own advertisers. >> You see what I'm saying? >> Like the advertisers that you're seeing on the podcast are curated by our team. >> Like we had to find a way. Now, we're grateful for the ability to access all these people and build this audience, connect with you guys, and >> no complaints about YouTube. >> We know what we signed up for >> 100%. But we signed up not even thinking there was ever a way we can make money off YouTube. Like, none of when we got into YouTube, there was no like and we're like, if we can reach the people, maybe we can do something with our creative ideas, right? >> But what I think is interesting to this to me is like the beauty of competition, >> right? to what you were saying before about like you know you could people could talk [ __ ] about capitalism they could talk [ __ ] about you know markets and this kind of stuff and yes there's tons of things that we have to fix so more people can feel part of the economy right now there are so many people that feel strange from the economy they are right to feel that way and there are things organized to probably make it so but Netflix starting to pay YouTubers now all of a sudden YouTubers are going well we can also pay some money you want Facebook doing this. You want Instagram. You want as many companies competing for your creative content possible because that's what makes you the most money because now you actually have another offer you can compete against. >> I mean, listen, Amazon did it with Mr. Beast. >> You know what I'm saying? Amazon rolled the rings truck up >> and Mr. Beast had his reality show, whatever it was on Amazon Beast games, but he was still, you know, doing his YouTube thing as well. We just saw what Netflix did with podcasting. Guess who else just got into the podcasting game? Disney, right? Disney just picked up the the Jonas Brothers podcast from from iHeart. So, yeah, I told y'all to go back and watch that conversation I had with Ernie Leiser. I said, "Yo, I'm watching all of these people, you know, say all of this [ __ ] about Breakfast Club on Netflix, but you're not realizing how good this is going to be for the creator economy." Because if we have success over here and these other podcasts have success over here, guess what? everybody else is going to do. It's just the obvious way things work. And I'm not sitting here tooting our own horn. I'm just simply saying, you know, last time I checked, Breakfast Club made up 44% of all Netflix's podcasting. >> All of it. >> Wow. >> All of it. So, thank you, Breakfast Club. Okay. And by the way, shout out to all the YouTube creators who make their videos about Breakfast Club and you know how Breakfast Club fell off because of Netflix. Thank you. >> You're going to make a lot more money now. >> A lot more money saying that [ __ ] about us. >> You should say you're welcome. >> You should say you're [ __ ] >> No, you should say you're welcome. >> YEAH. NO, YOU I AM. YOU'RE WELCOME. BECAUSE >> YOU say you're welcome to them. >> You're welcome. Because the reality of the situation is y'all made all of these videos and all you did was push people to go see what the [ __ ] is going on on Netflix. >> Oh, don't give away the secret sauce, man. >> I tell them all the time, love and hate works for you cuz the algorithm don't know the difference. I tell y'all that [ __ ] all the time. And I'm going to tell you something else. I was reading Druski's article in GQ and Drewki was talking about how he's got a scripted show coming based off the pastor character he plays. Yeah, >> but he was like he's just going to do it on YouTube. And I was like, yo, that's actually dope because he's already got two shows on YouTube now, right? The Could have been record [ __ ] and then the C could have been love. He's invested all this money to do his own reality shows. But then I saw this deal come out 4 days later and I was like, "Oh, I get it. Oh, YouTube about to drop Tuski up bad." >> And and listen, here's here's the reality. Here's the reality of things is that like the one reason why you don't see high highlevel scripted content on YouTube is because you can't monetize it given their current system to the point where you can pay for it. >> That's right. >> It's like let's just be very clear. We're talking about if you're making even a movie and you want to put it directly on YouTube. I think they said Obsession, which is like one of the cheapest movies ever made. >> 750,000 to a million dollars is what they spent, >> right? So like that's for one, we do a two-hour podcast every single week. It doesn't cost us a million dollars to do it every single week. But in order to make a movie, you need to generate a million dollars. You know how many views you got to get just to get a million dollars in ad rev? >> Could you tell them the truth? Cuz a lot of [ __ ] out here for years have been lying about the money that they and it [ __ ] up the game. a trillion views. I don't know. Like a 400 billion. >> How much is that? Let's look that up. How much does it cost to make a million dollars off one video on YouTube? Let's see. >> Yeah. I mean, it's not one video cuz over two hours you could put a lot of different ads and all this stuff, but like >> how many views do you need >> to make a million dollars on YouTube? Let's look. That's a good one. That's a good It depends on RPM. >> How much the creator actually receives per,000 views. >> 100 million and between 100 and 500 million views. >> That's crazy. >> And that's that's that's if you got a if you got a $2 RPM, >> you need 500 million views >> to get a million dollars. >> That's crazy. Yeah. Listen, by the way, you know, it's people that monetize their content on YouTube and they make their money, they make a couple of dollars. That's good for them. You know what I mean? But it's like there's a there's a whole other way to make money, bro, is all I'm simply saying. You know what I mean? And I and shout out to YouTube. YouTube is dope. But I'm telling you, the fact that Netflix, Disney, YouTube, all of these people are paying the content creators, the podcasters now, and I'm going to tell you what else is going to [ __ ] the game up. Let YouTube give Duski a bag and then Duski goes out there and does what he knows we're going to do. Make some really dope [ __ ] >> You're going to have all the creators running to YouTube to at least want to at least script it, right? Maybe not maybe not movies quite yet, but at least scripted shows. You know why? I don't got to deal with the note shows. >> Movies are cheaper though. >> They are. But I It just depends what the number is. >> Takes so much money, bro. Takes so much money. so much time cuz think about one one TV show if it's >> an hour an episode and eight episodes that's 8 hours so that's basically four movies. >> Yeah, >> it's just expensive. But I hear you. >> But I don't got I imagine I don't got to deal with the notes. >> Imagine I could just create some dope [ __ ] I already got a [ __ ] audience on YouTube and YouTube is just like, "Yo, here's $50 million. Just stay with us for the next 3 years." >> So what will happen? There'll be the first iteration of that >> and that will be fire and then one of those shows is going to get in trouble for a sketch and then YouTube is going to be held liable because they're like you're paying for this therefore it's your content. It's not just being uploaded to your service. You're co-signing this. And then all of a sudden there'll be like a notes provision where they'll probably have to make sure that your content >> now. Yeah. Now it's no fun no more. >> No, but what I'm saying is right now you're in the window. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. this right now. This is potentially >> early stages of the internet again, but with payment. >> Yes. >> Remember when we were uploading [ __ ] like >> Yes. >> much to maybe our problem. >> Yes. >> We, you know, it was like there was no words you couldn't say, no anything. >> Yes. That's right. And listen, for all of you people, follow the money. If you don't think podcasts are doing well on Netflix, then ask yourself why YouTube getting in the game like this. Ask yourself why Disney getting in the game like this. Listen, all I ever try to do is come on, you know, the podcast and give y'all actual facts and actual numbers and, you know, I like to read articles. Of course they don't. >> They just want to feel good. >> They don't. Nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining. They want their narratives, man. >> Exactly. They just whatever they feel, they just want you to tell them they're right. >> Whatever they feel. Speaking of which, I need you [ __ ] YouTube journalists. YouTube [ __ ] journalists. I need y I want to hear y'all talking about this YouTube journalist. >> This is Attorney General James Umer. As Florida's Attorney General, I enforce our laws to protect consumers from illegal schemes that take their money. Companies are operating online casinos that are illegal under Florida law. Sites like Stake and those run by VGW market themselves as sweep stakes or social casinos. But they offer real man blackjack and >> unlock the jaw. >> They've raked in hundreds of millions of dollars >> from people in our state. >> No. >> These websites can talk about dildosards >> or provide consumer protections that are required of licensed casinos under Florida law. >> No. >> We filed lawsuits against the operators of these sites. along with their financial facilitators and promoters. >> The promoters seeking to recover Mormon knows how to read >> under Florida's gambling recovery laws. And we will hold them accountable under our consumer protection laws for their deceptive claims. >> What? >> These companies cannot hide illegal gambling behind a sweep stakes label. >> Nah. Nah. That's AI, bro. That's AI. That's AI. That's AI. It say it says Florida AG sues stake VGW over sweep states casino operations. That's got to be AI. Can you YouTube journalists get on your job? Just I just want all the YouTube journalists to get on their job and tell me if this is AI or not. Bro, Florida AG sues stake over what? Over sweep stakes casino operations. I don't know, bro. That's kind of crazy. >> Damn, bro. He He's He's on the Rock Nation payroll, too. >> He might I think he got to be right there. He might be on that. >> HE MIGHT BE ON ROCK NATION PAYROLL. THAT'S CRAZY. THAT'S KIND OF CRAZY. YO, let me look and see if I see any signs. Let me look. I ain't looking in the background of the video. I don't know. All I'm saying, I just want the YouTube journalist to get on their job. Okay. >> I want Can the YouTube journalists get on their job? >> I think Charlemagne has 48 hours in a day, man.

Let's do it. Let's do some asking idiots, man. Tell me. It's all Anonymous says, "If you were tasked with creating humans, what would you change?" Um, anything that would create a superiority complex. Anything that would allow us to get rid of the cast systems. And I don't mean, you know, everybody would be one color. That's silly. What I mean is that whatever creates, biases, prejudices, jealousy, envy, and this constant want for more. I think I would change. I don't even know if you need to change humans for that, though. I just think you need to change the systems around humans. >> But would you do that same thing for attractiveness? Yeah. >> So, like now everybody's equally attractive. >> No, I wouldn't because once again I'm I I said you you know I'm not going to change anything that would create the cast system. What created the cast system was race. I would just change people's mindsets. Like this wouldn't even be a physical thing for me. Like I would try to take away like I said things that create biases, the prejudices, whatever that thing is internally, mentally, emotionally that makes you look at somebody else and get jealous or envious. I would want to change that. >> Yeah. >> Physical like now I want everybody to look the same. I mean, I want everybody to look different. I want everybody to have their different appearances and everything else. >> But you don't want those things to be valued by one another. >> Yes. Especially if they create animosity or make you feel like, you know, I'm superior to the next person. >> But like somebody finding somebody more attractive creates a superiority complex. >> Yeah. Taller person, certain color hair, >> but I mean that just means I want to [ __ ] you. You said attractive, right? >> Yeah. But now we have a different hierarchy. Like it was a different cast system, if you will. >> But that's what I mean. That's why I would get rid of all of that. Like I I would get rid of if I saw a person that was tall with a nice nice long dreadlocks like I wouldn't be jealous and envious of that person. Like whatever that is that makes you man why the [ __ ] I don't have that that that comparison where I would get rid of that. That's what I would change. What about you? >> I think just bigger tits like >> All right, man. What's like what's what's the next one? Give everybody a little bigger tits. >> Even guys. >> Yeah. Nobody's mad at you. >> You want everybody walking around here like flame and roll? >> Yes. >> That's crazy. >> Yes. >> Um, Lucky Youth, Central says, "What's a character trait that you see that this new generation is missing?" >> I don't even understand this new generation, bro. I I'm I'm completely at a loss. I hear the things they complain about and it's like they're lonely but they're the most connected they've ever been. They can't be in relationships but they've have more access to people than anybody in human history has ever had access to. Like I I the things I do like the economic struggles that they're going through. I do understand and empathize that and I understand the exential doom of like will their jobs be gone because of AI. But like in terms of like the loneliness thing you always keep hearing. It's like I there's a part of me that wonders like have you know when you start talking about mental illness like eventually people start seeing the things that they have and that's good because they recognize it but then the people who don't really have anything are trying to manifest it. And I wonder if we've like told men they're lonely so much that now they're starting to like look for their loneliness. >> I think people are lonely. I agree with everything you said just now. I think that they're lonely because of social media. >> They don't they don't know how to make real human connection. Think about when you was young. How many friends did you really need? >> You have a few friends. That's it. >> You don't even need that. >> You and one person can get to it. Y'all go get a basketball, go on the court all day long. You know what I'm saying? And because >> we didn't have social media either to prop us up or tear us down every day. Cuz whether these people realize it or not, they go on social media to get these dopamine hits. They need social media to boost them up. That's why so many people care about the court of public opinion online more than they do real life. Because you didn't need that, guess what else you developed, Schultz? You never felt lonely. >> Yeah. >> You always had you. >> Yeah. >> You know what I'm saying? I'm never by myself. I'm with myself. >> Yeah. That's that's an interesting. >> That's how I feel all the time. I'm never I'm never by myself. >> We were forced to do that. So then when we did get to connect with our friends, it felt special. It was e and it it felt good. You think about how many and I I watch all of us in this room do this in real time. We're comfortable with ourselves. So, we're home and we're thinking about things and we're writing things down and then you know what you do like a [ __ ] regular person. Yo, Charlamagne, you got a few moments? Yo, show us you got a few moments or it's a tech. It's something we're having conversation. Ally, yo, you think what you think about this? Like, we're sharing information. That's what you do when you have real human connections with people. And I'm not home alone wondering where is everybody. I'm at home alone with me. And now I'm like, "All right, let me go find somebody to share this." >> So, you're so right. But I what I think has happened is they think that that's not the norm because they've only existed in a time where there was so much connectivity. That's right. >> So now, like we were kids, when we were alone, we didn't also have a phone where we were scrolling. Everybody was together. >> Then you start to feel alone because you're comparing yourself. That's right. >> Right. So the thing that it's like they think that they're lonely because they don't have a baseline of loneliness. >> You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> Like we spent way more time alone. Way more [ __ ] time alone than they ever You couldn't just go on a video game and talk to a hundred different people in 100 different countries. >> You could turn on stream and start talking to thousands of people. >> Bro, when we were kids, you know, you call your friend and hope someone heard the phone. >> Y >> you know what I mean? you hope they were maybe there like there was no so so there was a gratitude it's even with the dating culture that exists now it's like there's so many different opportunities right it's like that analysis paralysis [ __ ] it's like being on Netflix so it's like were you like looking for something but you can't choose >> when we were growing up you had the girls in your high school maybe the high school down a block you knew all the kind of girls that and granted we were in New York City so it's a very different situation but I imagine where you grew up you knew all the cute girls that were around your So if you ended up with one, you were like, "Yo, I'm [ __ ] lucky, bro." Like, there's dudes out here that can't get any of these girls, and that's the only girls that they [ __ ] know. >> So, I I think that there's a lot of that going on. I think there's a lot of that going on where like nobody has also told them how fortunate and lucky they are. They've just been fed how victimized they are and they're believing it. >> Yeah. So, I think what we're saying is the character trait that we see this new generation missing is confidence, maybe. >> Yeah. Sure. >> Confidence >> or gratitude. Confidence, gratitude, that's another one. >> And also perspective, >> like perspective on how disconnected you could actually be. >> Yeah. >> I don't think Yeah, I'm with you. >> The internet [ __ ] you up. You see everybody having fun and living their best life and then you're not having a great day, it feels worse. >> I think you nailed it though. The baseline is off. >> The baseline is off. >> Baseline is off. I think with integrity, too. >> Because if you're willing to do anything to uh fill that void of loneliness, >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? Yeah. >> If you're willing to say anything to fill that void of loneliness, >> like I think Yeah. So, confidence, integrity, cuz I don't feel like you should just be able to get online and just lie. Like, that shouldn't be so easy for you. You know what I mean? >> You got you want attention, you're going to get it. >> Yeah. Well, >> I mean, I don't think that that is what you should do, but like that is what you >> We also live in a different attention economy. Like there wasn't an attention economy back in the day. >> Oh, lucky you. You're right. >> Just didn't exist. >> That rewards you that monetizes it. No, you're right. >> You couldn't you couldn't get attention. You could only get attention from your friends. Maybe if you were lucky, you were able to audition for something and then get on TV. >> You had to have a skill, bro. >> Like, you did like even in school. I ain't even talking about the entertainment business. In school, you had to do something, bro. Like, what's some jokes like? You know what I mean? Do you play basketball? >> Are you the smartest kid in the class? What do you do? Like we used to arm wrestle, thumb wrestle. Everything was about Yo, we wonder why we debate everything. Everything was about competition. >> Everything. >> Pencil. We used to pencil fight, bro. >> Everything was about actual competition. >> Everything. >> Um, another This is a good question from Lucky Youth Central. Is AI the death of art and literature? Absolutely not. >> Not even close. >> No, it's not even. It's actually a tool. >> It's the It's the opposite. >> Yeah. It's a tool that's going to make you create more art and literature. My only issue with AI, don't let AI be your brain, >> you know. Um my my biggest issue with AI early on was that we already live in an era where you can't tell the difference between what's real and what's fake. >> Yeah. >> And that's still my issue. But when it comes to like the arts, entertainment, things like that, just don't let AI be your actual brain. If you're a joke writer, keep writing those jokes. And if you can, you know, if AI can help you strengthen them or like find new POVs and stuff, cool. If you're an animator, continue to draw. Put your stuff in AI and let AI animate it for you, right? Like that's that's a tip that I've been hearing from a lot of my animator friends. Like they they draw and then dropping an AI and this cartoon they've always wanted to make, >> it's it's there now, but it's them that's actually doing the drawing. you want to do stuff like that. Don't let a [ __ ] AI write your whole book, bro. That's just silly. >> No, >> you know, let your let the AI proofread stuff for you. Let the AI, you know, tell you, hey, let's smooth this out a little bit. Do [ __ ] like that. >> Yeah. >> Um, big fella_meek says, "Unk, are you adding more names to the legendary last names? Honorable mentions?" Nah, I'm a Pinky Smith Winfrey Nose Carter. >> Wow. Still, still >> still >> Still Pinky Smith. But I mean I I got mad honorable mentions though. I got Clarence Avon. That's my you know that's the >> You're still starting with Pinkis Smith. >> Pinky Smith Winfrey Nose Carter, bro. >> Starting with it. >> That That's my name. Pinky Smith Winry knows Carter. I can't run from the last name just cuz it's he had a couple rough years. >> Even Even the pinky part. >> EVEN THE PINKY PART. MORE SO THE pinky part. >> More so the pinky part. YO, Y'ALL GOING TO STOP ACTING LIKE JAYEN NOT A WHOLE gangster out here. Okay, I'm sick of this [ __ ] Stop acting like Jada. Not a whole gangster out here in these streets. Yo, Jada [ __ ] pink it, bro. Dropping a clues bunt for Jada [ __ ] pink it. All right, y'all thought set it off as just a movie. Um, Rico says, "Would you rather have Batman try and protect you from Iron Man or vice versa?" Now, this is some good [ __ ] here, Rico. This is some good [ __ ] here. I got Iron Man over back. >> Iron Man. Iron Man. >> I got Iron Man on the Batman. >> Break it down. Break it down. Why >> Tony Starks, even though he was a billionaire's kid, has a grittiness to him? You know what I'm saying? Batman, Bruce Wayne don't have the grittiness. >> Yes, he does. >> Nah, he don't. He comes off a lot more privileged than Tony Starks does, you know. And I got a theory, bro. I got a theory about Batman that nobody's ever explored. Go. Especially being that we live in this world now and we know how allegedly evil billionaires are. How do we know Gotham isn't the revolt towards the billionaires? How do we know all of those people locked up in Arkham Asylum weren't the revolutionaries, the activists who were fighting against the Bruce Waynees of the [ __ ] world. >> I'm Donnie God. >> And so [ __ ] Wayne decides to put on this Batman costume, >> run around with a little treat. Little treat. You know who the little treat is, right? >> Oh my god. Don't put that on. >> HEAR ME OUT. >> THAT'S CRAZY. >> Hear me out.
