  • Both speculate on the incredible purses (up to $90–95 million each).

• Schulz compares the fight anticipation to when audiences tuned in hoping to see Mayweather lose.

2. Ray J & Diddy Viral Headline – "Diddy Took My Ass" (07:23–10:44)

• The team reacts to a bizarre, hyperbolic headline about Ray J allegedly making jokes or claims regarding Diddy.
  • They debate the seriousness and timing of jokes relating to accusations against Diddy, with Charlamagne doubting the literal truth.
  • Ray J’s previous antics and statements are referenced.
• Taylor: “That’s not the first time he said that, though.” (09:41)
• Attempts to call Ray J live on air fall flat as he sends them to voicemail, adding to the comedic tension.

3. Holiday Traditions & Gendered Pain – Childbirth, Contractions, and "Twerking" (12:01–24:32)

• Taylor talks about celebrating Kwanzaa and plans to put Charlamagne and Schulz through simulated labor contractions.
  • Schulz and Charla riff on men’s vs. women’s pain thresholds, menstrual cycles, and “being built for” pain.
• The conversation devolves (hilariously) into an extended analogy between sexual prowess and "twerking," with the hosts insisting men twerk during sex.
• Charlamagne: “Every man twerks when they have some cheeks.” (24:19)
• “Put your dick on the scale!” becomes a running gag.

4. Double Bunny Scandal: Michigan Football Coach Sharon Moore’s Downfall (25:03–39:31)

• Headline: Coach Sharon Moore accused of inappropriate workplace relationship, stalking, and breaking & entering.
• Dr. Umar’s viral “double bunny” label is discussed—referring to a Black man married to and cheating with white women.

  • Power dynamics, “don’t shit where you eat” advice, and cultural accountability.

• Schulz: “If you actually penalize them equally, it wouldn’t really matter... The second someone felt uncomfortable, they could talk to HR.” (36:01)

5. Sports & Role Models – LeBron James’ Image and NBA’s Next Face (44:59–56:51)

• LeBron’s on-court behavior (referee incident) draws attention, raising questions about superstar entitlement and media treatment.
  • Both hosts argue LeBron’s clean record should be praised, pointing to his unprecedented ability to avoid scandal.
• They explore why the NBA seems reluctant to make international players (Jokic, Giannis, Wembanyama) the league’s marketing centerpiece, preferring an American “face.”
  • What makes a player transcend basketball into cultural phenomenon (Jordan, Steph, AI)—not just skill but relatable style.
• Schulz: “They try to stir up any different... If Bron had another baby mama, people would make the biggest deal of this every single day.” (50:23)

6. Media Contracts & The Art of "Weaving" Out of The Question (42:21–44:54)

• Charlamagne dodges direct questions about renewing his iHeart/Black Effect contract, giving a master class in "weaving" (dodging).
  • Banter about options, business confidentiality, and his future plans.

7. Pop Culture Beef – Timothée Chalamet, Kendrick, and the "White Boy" Fear Trope (64:43–73:49)

  • The hosts break down why Chalamet’s comments were “culturally clueless,” as he likened modern rap beefs to life-threatening situations (in a Super Bowl commercial context).
• Charlamagne: “That’s the whitest thing you could say, Timothy!” (68:58)

9. Trump’s Comments on Rob Reiner’s Death – Political Decency and Empathy (77:05–86:35)

• Trump’s statement blaming Rob Reiner’s murder (by his son) on “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is denounced as “disgusting.”
  • The team reflects on political discourse, empathy, and creating toxic energy.
• Charlamagne: “As president, if you can’t even say ‘rest in peace’ or ‘condolences’... This is just—this is ugly.” (79:54)

10. The Media, AI Misinformation & Cultural Fragmentation (87:37–95:52)

• How podcast/YouTube platforms fuel misinformation and never correct narratives.
  • Need for accountability and end-of-year wrap-ups exposing the most egregious media lies.
  • Anxiety over “deepfakes” (e.g., manipulated T.I. hairline video) and the difficulty of verifying online content.
• Schulz: “News will correct facts, but they don’t correct narrative. And YouTube reaction channels and the YouTubers—they don’t even correct facts.” (89:45)

11. Ask An Idiot – Growth, Imposter Syndrome, and Family Importance (97:07–115:07)

• Favorite moments to relive: Both Andrew and Charlamagne say their wedding days, Taylor controversially picks a Kendrick concert over the birth of her child (“That was a happy moment, but it hurt, though!”).
• Imposter Syndrome: Both admit to experiencing it, mainly when success outpaces self-perception.
  • Charla: “I just got over imposter syndrome... December 2019. I remember sitting down for a commencement speech and... there was a part of me like, who the fuck are they talking about?”
  • Schulz: “I didn’t want my friends and family to come see me do standup early on—let me try to get good at this before I invite them out.”
• Family & Priorities: Both hosts agree family has become more important, with Andrew emphasizing the grounding effect of his wife and child, and Charlamagne urging listeners to spend more time with aging parents and record their stories.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Charlamagne: “Every man twerks when they have some cheeks.” (24:19)

Funniest shit in the world is Andrew was in here shitting on movies last week and he got Street Fighter coming out. I don't know why that didn't dawn on any of us. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Trailer look good. I'm not gonna lie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Trailer looks good, trail look good.

[Andrew Schultz]

Movies are made in the edit. That's what you know. Movies are made in the edit, but, like, I think it's gonna surprise some people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, I don't see why. It's nostalgic. Ip, that's. Ip that. That people have an emotional connection to. You want to go motherfucking see Street Fighter?

[Andrew Schultz]

I see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Had they ever done a live action street Fighter?

[Andrew Schultz]

They did. They did. That shit was ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't remember that one, John.

[Andrew Schultz]

Claude Van Damme played Guile. How are you gonna have the American?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, I remember that shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, War hero played by a guy with a French accent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I remember the live action Mortal Kombat, but I don't remember the live action Street Fighter.

[Alex]

It wasn't that good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm lying. I don't remember the live action.

[Andrew Schultz]

Chris is back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do we have any pre rolls?

[Andrew Schultz]

Chris was cursing someone out on the streets, man. Chris, what happened, bro?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The scooters, man. What happened? Chris, I thought you know how to speak Mandarin, Chris.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, you. You were going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't know you speak Mandarin.

[Andrew Schultz]

We heard you from up here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What'd you say?

[Andrew Schultz]

He.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can you speak into the mic?

[Chris]

My boy Nihau. Good people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shout out to Chris.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out, Chris.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What the fuck, man? That was something I was just thinking about and it fucking slipped my mind just that fucking fast.

[Alex]

Oh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This weekend, Jake Paul dies. Not literally, but figuratively. It's out.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, it's over. Shout out Jake Paul, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I got nothing but respect for Jake Paul.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out Jake Paul.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I told y' all before, I like my white boys that aren't afraid to die.

[Taylor]

I like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like the white boys that really. White boy. Extreme sports, Extreme activity.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is jackass level shit. This is Johnny Knox.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, please.

[Andrew Schultz]

Johnny never done nothing like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would never think of it. No, no, no, no.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's taking on a world champion boxer, two time Olympic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, not two time, two time heavyweight champion Olympic boxer who's what, 36, 37 years old? Like Anthony Joshua is not Mike Tyson. Anthony. God bless Mike Tyson was Mike Tyson back then. But I'm saying he's not an old man. Anthony Joshua is still. Still active right now. Yeah, he's lost four fights in his career. Two of them have been to a guy that some people might say is a top five heavyweight of all time. Usyk. The other was Daniel Dubois. The other was Ruiz. Okay. Hey, from what I'm told, they both getting paid like 90 to 95 million dollars a piece.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wow. Nah. Yes. Shout out both of them. Get your money, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They say 100. They said the purse is 180 between both of them.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get your money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I don't think people realize how big of us a draw Anthony Joshua is. He is a huge boxer in the uk.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, huge. Anthony's a huge draw.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's got like eight fights that have broken over a million in pay per view.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's no question he's a massive star in boxing, but I think the draw of this fight is Jake is going up against someone that people feel confident will beat him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

You got to give Jake credit because he built up the hype.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. But also, Anthony Joshua is a huge boxer in the uk, you know, like. Like globally. This is going to be massive.

[Andrew Schultz]

Of course, what I'm saying is Anthony Joshua, if he was fighting some tomato can that like none of us ever heard of, like, if. Put it this way, if Anthony Joshua was fighting a boxer that had the exact same amount of experience as Jake Paul, without Jake Paul's name, nobody would care. Nobody would even buy the fight. So that's why I'm giving the majority of the credit here for Jake. Because you opened this combo with Jake dies. That is. It's like back when Mayweather, people would pay to see him lose. They were hoping.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, this is different, though. It's one thing to hope that somebody lose. I don't. I don't. Because I'm not a guy that dislikes Jake Paul, but I also do like a car wreck. Meaning you know how you be scrolling online sometime and you'll see the headline, man gets ran over by car, but lives. You want to watch because you're like, okay, it's not that bad. He didn't die. But you do want to see how hard the car hits?

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't even know. But I don't even need butt lives.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can't watch the death. I don't like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, me neither.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, yeah, right. But this is gonna be something else, bro. Bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's Friday, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm here, I'm watching. I'm all in. By the way. I watch all Jake Paul fights anyway, though. So I watch Jake Paul and Tyson Fury. So, I mean, it's like, what was Fury's brother name? I can't remember right now, but Tommy. Tommy Fury. But I'm watching and it's going to be entertaining. That we know. Yo, the most entertaining thing about the last Jake Paul fight with Mike Tyson, it wasn't even the fight. It was everything leading up to it.

[Andrew Schultz]

The buildup.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The buildup to it. The Undercard and Mike Tyson in the fucking dressing room with his cheeks out. We got. You know what I'm saying? Like, Mike Tyson in the dressing room with his cheeks. I was worth the price of admission. I rewind that in my head all the time. Not cause of Tyson's cheeks, but cause of Tyson when he goes, vicious, vicious. He said, what's your prediction for my vicious, vicious knockout, vicious win? And he just says it with so much confidence and just turns around and nobody wants to tell Mike his cheeks are out. Mike is still so intimidating to this day that nobody wants to say, hey, man, Mike, you got a thong on? You know what I'm saying? Nobody wants to even say it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Facts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But we watching, man. 2019. I mean, December 2000, what is it? No. December 19.

[Andrew Schultz]

December 19.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

December 19. No. Cause Taylor was typing in a headline that fucking threw me off just now. Diddy took my ass.

[Alex]

Whoa.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that was a little distracting, I'm not gonna lie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you mean? What do you mean?

[Alex]

What you mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

Diddy took my ass?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, clip everything. Whose ass?

[Andrew Schultz]

Diddy take that right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you mean, Diddy took my ass?

[Andrew Schultz]

We've normalized this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why? Why. Why is this just a regular headline? Diddy took my ass.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, we need to start with that right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Press play, Taylor. Press play. Whose ass Diddy take and how can he take. Is this from somebody from jail? Pause. Ray J says what?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, come on. Not Ray J.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Pause. Ray J says his asshole has been runny ever since Diddy took it.

[Chris]

Whoa.

[Andrew Schultz]

Press play here. There's no way this is serious.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was in jail for 12 hours. All I saw was, we do not condone booty taking our violence. What the. Is that how people got a preference? That's how you preface Diddy post nowadays? That's the type of disclaimers you gotta have with Diddy post? Nah, we do not condone booty taking our violence more than it's been ever in my life.

[Taylor]

Should I say I have to take everybody?

[Andrew Schultz]

Everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got one.

[Taylor]

But girls don't do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My shit running.

[Andrew Schultz]

Diddy. Yo, Diddy took my ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't hold it no more. My been runny ever since.

[Andrew Schultz]

My ass open more than it's been.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ever in my life.

[Andrew Schultz]

When I try to fart, my come out. It's crazy, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think.

[Taylor]

All right, so can we get through? It's. It's serious. That's all you got to say? Next time you stuck behind a gate, just say Diddy made you. Like, what'd you say?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Diddy.

[Taylor]

What what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You recording me?

[Taylor]

No, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I told you, Diddy took me.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out white boy fun, man. Yo, we changed the world, dude.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, white boy fun.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's white boy fun.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sean been having that type of fun way before y'. All.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah. You don't think he actually cracked Ray J?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I don't.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, Ray J's having some white boy fun.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. I don't think that now is the time to play about something like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now is the best time to play. Now is the best time to play.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now is not the time to play about Ray.

[Taylor]

That's not the first time he said that, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It isn't.

[Taylor]

When he was on that news, didn't he like say something about when he was going on like a news network?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, he had his. Like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Ray was playing, but I also think that he could have been mocking somebody and we just caught him in the middle of mocking, like, you know, like. Like if I be like, yo, if I'm trying to clown little rod of somebody. Like, are any of the guys that said Diddy took advantage of them?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, could he be making fun of them or is he. Is that like first person experience?

[Alex]

He's joking about it a lot, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, cuz, it's the. It's the number one show in 50 countries.

[Alex]

He's trying to say something, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get out of here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

Stop, Stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, Ray ain't get crack. Ray ain't get his cheeks took, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

No way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not by Diddy. And if Ray did, he would.

[Taylor]

No, I don't mean it like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't need him like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why you even need to add that little part to the sentence?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just saying Ray wouldn't. Ray wouldn't do it on that platform. Ray would do something way bigger than just giving some information like that up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he would find a way to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man, Ray wouldn't do that, bro. Should we call Ray? Yeah, I want to see.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I think we need it. I think we need to get to the bottom of this. Just put it. Just make sure you put it kind of by your mic. Hopefully he ends Ray J. Yeah, let.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Me see, bro, let me see if Ray pick up the phone, man. It's. It's a shame. I got too many numbers on raging. Hold on, let me see. I just got to ask. I don't want to just assume and see if he picks up. What time is it out there? 1 o', clock?

[Alex]

1:30.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. He sent Me the voicemail. Cause he knows I'm gonna ask him.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hit him one more time so he feels like it's an emergency. Nah, nah, that could be serious.

[Taylor]

When did he think you would call him in the morning? Not right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's true. That is true.

[Taylor]

Just to give him one more call.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is a single call.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait a minute.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, what else we got?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, Merry Christmas, everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Happy holiday.

[Andrew Schultz]

Happy Kwanzaa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What are y' all doing for the holidays? Anything.

[Andrew Schultz]

Taylor's celebrating Kwanzaa for the first time in her life.

[Taylor]

No, I've been celebrating Kwanzaa. I haven't done it in a long time, but I have.

[Andrew Schultz]

How do you celebrate it, people?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The experience of your birth yet?

[Taylor]

Y' all asked me. I did tell y'. All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You told the whole story.

[Taylor]

What's the whole.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not the thing, your whole story. You came in here saying. That was crazy. Tell her. Do not say that again. What did I say about the. The big birth canal or whatever?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You were scared, Taylor.

[Taylor]

No, I was never scared. I was never scared. And actually, top of the year, we're gonna. We're gonna do the contractions for sure with you guys.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, she wants to put a contraction.

[Taylor]

Out for me because now I felt it, and now y' all go feel it, too. Y'. All. I want that for my birthday.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you guys are built for pain. We're not built for pain.

[Taylor]

No, no, you are built for pain.

[Andrew Schultz]

Women can endure way more pain than men can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Understand the contraction thing for guys. We're just supposed to feel like it's not up for.

[Andrew Schultz]

Everything about your lives is painful. Walking in heels, the cramps, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that's for y'.

[Alex]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, we're not supposed to bleed once a month.

[Andrew Schultz]

And when you're not bleeding, you're either in a bad mood or you're upset about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, like, your life is pain. It's one of the most. It's one of the things that makes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You so resilient all day. Now it's done.

[Andrew Schultz]

But isn't that why women are so resilient, is because you can put up with such high talks?

[Taylor]

Y' all can't say, like, we don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Compare anything to have.

[Andrew Schultz]

We complain about everything. We complain when we're hungry. We complain when we're tired. We complain when we're cold.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We don't complain about cramps. We don't complain about, you know, contractions. We don't complain about pregnancy. We never. I never dispute women when they tell me how things are.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not a single thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can only imagine. I've seen it done for good.

[Taylor]

How about y' all feel it for yourself?

[Andrew Schultz]

But it wouldn't be the same.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not the same. Yeah, that's not the same.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're built for it, is what we're saying. You're built for it. Your body's built, first of all.

[Taylor]

Barely. That shit hurts for real. That's why you push it out.

[Andrew Schultz]

Damn. Yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Taylor]

No, let's be very. Be clear. I was so well prepared to push my son out, but he was not dilating, so. Yeah, and you were not.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're not dilating.

[Alex]

You were not dil.

[Andrew Schultz]

You were not dil.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You weren't. You weren't big enough. Yeah. Finally. How does it feel? That's the only thing tell you that. You not big enough. How does it feel? How does it feel? Huh? Finally. I'm getting us back. I'm getting you back. For every man that's ever been told they got. It's not bigger, though. I never told everybody.

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you mean you never told? You sat on this podcast and said, if a dick ain't 12 inches, it's not big enough. 10 is insane. There's not even human beings with dicks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

10 inches. You said 10.

[Andrew Schultz]

10 inches is you. Literally. You're part another animal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I know what you're talking about.

[Taylor]

I don't know what y' all talking about. I'm a mother now, so I have no idea.

[Andrew Schultz]

We respect that. We respect mothers on this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

10 inches is one thing, but 10 inches going in is one thing. 7 pounds, 5 ounces coming out is another thing.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's another thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why they're trying to tell all these big meat dudes. Y' all swear y' all doing something.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nothing.

[Chris]

Please.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nothing.

[Taylor]

Please.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They push out something that is pounds and ounces.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Put your dick on the scale. Okay.

[Taylor]

Whoa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't care how.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whoa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't care how long it is. I don't care what. Wait a minute.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait a minute.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Put your penis on a scale. Thank you. And then you'll realize how you can't do nothing. No.

[Taylor]

You're 100% like, what's his name? He'd be like, put the pussy on live right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Put your pussy on live right now. Give you $1,000. Put your pussy on live right now. I give you thousand. Put your dick on the scale right now. I give you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait What? How much you give him for dick on a scale?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. Paying what I weigh. I'm paying what I weigh. That's what you would do, right? If I was paying for this, I'd be like, put it on the scale.

[Andrew Schultz]

Put it on the scale.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm paying by the pound.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not gonna pay nothing.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, that's a great point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? The dick ain't gonna weigh a pound.

[Andrew Schultz]

After going through pregnancy. Has there been ever been a dick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That gave me a dick? Ain't even a preemie, boy.

[Andrew Schultz]

It really ain't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Has there ever been. Has there ever been a dick as painful as pregnancy?

[Taylor]

What's the question again? You said what?

[Andrew Schultz]

Has there ever been a dick as painful as pregnancy?

[Taylor]

I don't know what you're talking about. Oh.

[Andrew Schultz]

Look at you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Taylor's all grown up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Taylor's all grown up. Shout out Taylor, man. We love that. That's growth right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How has it been, though?

[Taylor]

It's great, honestly. Like, I miss him right now. It's not. And I'm glad I don't salute to all the single women, but I don't know how would be taking care of.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, dude, my son without you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't want to be without my partner.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nothing wrong with saying second you have a kid.

[Taylor]

I'm just saying I don't know how.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, it's impossible, right?

[Taylor]

Yeah. Like, it's.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's truly any single woman, single parent, single. Yeah, it is impossible.

[Taylor]

I say nothing impossible.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, it's not what I. What I'm not trying to say. I'm trying to, like, give them credit for the fact that it happens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How difficult it is.

[Andrew Schultz]

So difficult. Like, you get why they say, like, the. The key to success for any kid is it's not money. It's like two parents in the household.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Three parents in the house. Four parents in the household. Like, the more.

[Taylor]

My support team helps a lot too, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, it's unbelievable. So your mom is around the house.

[Taylor]

His mom helps.

[Andrew Schultz]

Amazing.

[Taylor]

It's. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And you guys get along. Everybody gets along.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think that. I think that's been, like, one of the rises in lesbian relationships.

[Andrew Schultz]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm serious. Because women don't want to be nothing else. You know what I mean? Like, so. Thank you. So I got to get these. I got to get these two incomes in the house. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that's what I really believe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. That's why they're on that eucalyptus all the time.

[Alex]

You think lesbians are getting together? So they're not single moms?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, all of us according to each other.

[Taylor]

Some according to Self magazine.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're literally. There's an issue with the lesbian couples and they're like almost addicted to eucalyptus for it.

[Alex]

Wait, what?

[Andrew Schultz]

Eucalyptus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dick.

[Andrew Schultz]

Stupid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're an idiot. You're an idiot. Why? You're an idiot, Alex. Yeah, I heard it the first time.

[Andrew Schultz]

Time you ignored it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuz the way he wasn't looking at me. So I'm like, he's directing it to the room. So whoever dummy to fall for this one. You deserve it.

[Andrew Schultz]

I got it. I got lipped his dick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought about it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Say again?

[Chris]

I thought about it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, both of y' all want to suck dick under a mischief.

[Taylor]

Oh my gosh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, I just like to get caught under a mistletoe and give a blowchot.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what lesbians call clits.

[Taylor]

But look, according.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, come here. Rub your mistletoe on my mistletoe.

[Taylor]

According to Self magazine, they say. They say best friends are the new boyfriend.

[Andrew Schultz]

They say what?

[Taylor]

Best friends are the new boyfriend.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, we're not doing all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's that mean? Best friends are the new boyfriend.

[Taylor]

Like women girl. Yeah, women friendships.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think that you should be your woman's best friend, but you're probably not. Like, that's a. That's a. That's a. A tough pill for men to swallow. I think that we're like best friends, but in a different way.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's women. That's a tough pill for women to swallow.

[Taylor]

Regina Hall, I think, said that, like.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think women are hurt when they find out maybe they're not our best friend. Whereas I don't think dudes are hurt.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And maybe I don't have. I don't have a. I think they would. You. They would be hurt if you had like a girl. I don't have a girl best friend. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

Obviously.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm just saying, like, what would that even. But if, like, if you're like. If you're like. But if your woman had like a male best friend, you wouldn't. You'd be like, nah, get the out of here.

[Andrew Schultz]

I would not. Well, actually, no.

[Taylor King]

My girl.

[Andrew Schultz]

My girl does have a male best friend.

[Chris]

He's gay.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's gay? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's different.

[Alex]

I don't care.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why is that different? Because he's gay, but he's male.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That don't mean anything he doesn't want.

[Andrew Schultz]

She really figured it out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

But she found a way to get someone who's interesting and not trying to Her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. That's usually how it works when you got a gay best friend.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what I'm saying. But, like, I get why girls have gay best friends.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's her best friend, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I'm thinking about, like, your bet. Like the, you know, your woman's best friend that she grew up with and went to college with. They did saying. Oh, okay, that makes sense.

[Chris]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, now that makes sense. All right.

[Taylor]

Okay, okay, Wait.

[Andrew Schultz]

But wouldn't you want a male best friend? Like, doesn't everybody want that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's kind of crazy, though, because you know that. You know, she. When y' all first met, she was talking to him about your meat.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, of course.

[Taylor]

Oh, my God.

[Andrew Schultz]

Of course.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Describing in detail.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, exactly.

[Andrew Schultz]

Veins, hair.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

All that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You probably said, you look like you're not packing. And she was like, he is.

[Taylor]

Would y' all say that y' all wives are y' all best friend?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Huh?

[Taylor]

Y' all would say y' all wives are y'.

[Andrew Schultz]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My wife is my best friend. For sure. My wife is my wife.

[Taylor]

Did your wife say the same thing about you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Um, I don't know.

[Taylor]

Cause I'm only asking because Regina hall.

[Andrew Schultz]

Said that would your best friend wait 17 years to marry you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She. That don't count with me. That does not count. And it wasn't 17. But that don't count with me.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's friendship right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, this just don't count.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is real friends.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You were a high school. Start the count. It don't count. It don't count. It don't count.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, now we got technicalities. Now all of a sudden we talking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

About want us to get married when we were 19.

[Andrew Schultz]

Say again?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You want us to get married when we were 19?

[Andrew Schultz]

Ah, you get married maybe six, seven years in or something like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Six, seven. I think we did, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on.

[Alex]

No, he.

[Taylor]

Stop.

[Andrew Schultz]

We not doing this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're not gonna start the.

[Andrew Schultz]

We're not gonna end the year like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And now it's on. Wait a minute, Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[Taylor]

I was asking just because you know how I said the wives or a husband?

[Andrew Schultz]

I miss you on the pod. I miss your energy. I just miss you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We gonna add the clip, too. But what you said.

[Taylor]

She said basically that a husband would say that the wife is their best friend, but a wife would say, like another female. There Was a study. If you ask men who their best friend is, most of them say they're wives, right? And if you ask a woman, she's really got her friends, she like Lisa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I mean.

[Chris]

But probably.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's a different. I'm the husband.

[Andrew Schultz]

No way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, husband is an all encompassing thing. Like, I'm the best friend. I'm the protector, I'm the provider. I'm all of the. I'm a different level. But you do probably have a best friend that you talk that shit with.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but also it's probably you. She probably likes to talk that shit with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We do.

[Andrew Schultz]

And you probably slinging that thing still.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it's also things that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Slinging that thing still do.

[Taylor]

You have a male best friend, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me twerk it. Oh, my God, we all twerk. You don't never think about that, do you? Think about that next time you in some cheeks.

[Taylor]

Next time you be twerking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Twerking. Men be twerking. You don't never want to admit it, but you be back there twerking.

[Andrew Schultz]

If you got stroke, if you got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stroke, twerk for all the men out there with a mean twerk game.

[Andrew Schultz]

Mean twerk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? Throw it back for your butt. Y' all don't never want to call things what they are. Like a mean stroke game. No, it's not. It's tweaking.

[Andrew Schultz]

Ride it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Twerking.

[Andrew Schultz]

[Andrew Schultz]

If you're really trying to go in there, really trying to. If you're trying to see the back of it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I bet you if you ever get in a room full of mirrors and you can look around, I look.

[Andrew Schultz]

Myself in the mirror.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You'll stop.

[Andrew Schultz]

Stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You stop.

[Andrew Schultz]

I looked myself in the mirror and I was like, yo, why is my back so straight?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? Back straight. And don't have some cheeks like me.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cheeks here. Oh, this shit was going crazy. They were opening.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They were opening. Oh, no, they were not opening.

[Andrew Schultz]

They were open.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get out here, dude.

[Taylor King]

Oh, my God.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't have your cheeks open like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shout out to everybody. Twerking for the holidays, yo. Okay?

[Andrew Schultz]

That's how you know you're a narcissist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Twerking for your holidays.

[Andrew Schultz]

You watching yourself fuck and you Looking at you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but that's when I came to that conclusion. I'm like, I am twerking my ass off.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like a motherfucker.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, right wing, Twitter clip this, yo. Put this out this week. We dare you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, listen. I'm just letting all the guys know out there, stop saying you don't twerk.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just embrace the twerk, okay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Every man twerks when they have some cheat.

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You perform that.

[Taylor]

I had this conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris, you a twerk up, okay?

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you mean?

[Taylor]

I told him what y' all talking about. I say that same thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What, you tell them twerk?

[Taylor]

No, I don't tell him to twerk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On it.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't imagine the girl said that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, what you gotta say to him? Just be like, I bet you I can't make you twerk. You like, what did y' all just do it? They be like, I told you so. Like, what you mean? I saw you back there. You was getting it. You. What else we got? Taylor gang, huh?

[Taylor]

Dang. Before I get to that, speaking of twerking, in a sense, what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is this Taylor? Taylor headline be so crazy. Oh, hilarious. Caught in the snow.

[Taylor]

So behind you like the headline, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dr. Umar speaks on ex Michigan coach Sharon Moore that got fired.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no.

[Taylor]

You want to do the behind this backstory? I mean.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, the backstory is the University of Michigan. Former University of Michigan football coach Sharon Moore, he was criminally charged following allegations involving a woman he previously had a personal relationship with, was later identified in reports as a university staff member. According to prosecutors, the relationship ended, but Moore allegedly continued contacting the woman despite her wishes, which authorities say escalated into repeated unwanted contact. He is accused of entering or attempting to enter her residence without permission.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Leading the charges that include home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering, Moore was arraigned in court, released on bond, and a judge reportedly issued a no contact order. The University of Michigan had previously fired Moore following an internal investigation related to the relationship. Now he's also married with, I think, three kids, I believe.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's sad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. What did Dr. Umar have to. Well, let's see what Dr. Every bad mistake. Cheating on a snow bunny while married to another snow bunny. He got double bunny. He's the first person I know who got double bunny. You know what I mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

What's double bunny?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got a snow bunny at home cheating on her with another snow bunny. You know? But I wish the brother the best, and guess what? He got fired. She still got a job.

[Andrew Schultz]

No snow bunny.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jonathan Majors Shannon Shaw, the head coach of the University of Michigan.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wolverines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tiger Woods. We could be here all night. On the list of black men who've been snow bunny in the 21st century, don't get snow bunny. We respect everybody. Young white women in the chat. I got nothing but respect for you. But black men have to learn to stick to black women. Otherwise, we're gonna keep on getting our pockets snatched out. Yeah, right. And guess how much he was making.

[Andrew Schultz]

How much?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

$6 million a year.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you know how much that is? That's a half million dollar paycheck a month.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, you can't lose that job.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, listen, it's a couple of things to talk about.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, let's talk about them. Man, Double Bunnied is crazy when he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Says that, you know, black men got to stick with black women. Like, I do like to see black men with black women. But the real moral is, if you're a married man, don't cheat. Like, that's where the problems come into play at. If you're a married man, if you have made that commitment, don't cheat. We've had this conversation a million times. I've told y' all a million times. When? And I'm nine years clean. But when I stopped. Yes, God damn it. Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Yes. Yes. The fuck yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I love this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want a coin. God damn it. Yes, I do.

[Andrew Schultz]

You deserve it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, I do. And this is something that only men can understand. I ain't saying. And I know y' all out there right now, Motherfucker, you don't get credit for what you supposed to do. You're right.

[Andrew Schultz]

But.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm still giving myself some credit.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to give you credit. Nine years.

[Andrew Schultz]

I want to give you credit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nine years. And in those nine years, my life has done nothing but this.

[Andrew Schultz]

Think about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nothing but this. Nothing but this. Nothing but this. And when I see situations like this, it's just a motherfucking reminder. Men.

[Taylor]

That they had too much time on their hands.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said what?

[Taylor]

Men that she had too much time on their hands.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's their record? What's the team's record?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was like 9 and 4 this year.

[Andrew Schultz]

So you. I mean, it was like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it was like nine and four. I think it was like nine.

[Andrew Schultz]

That requires a lot of time coaching a football team.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. So? So I want it like when he. It's not about the race of the woman in this situation. Number one, don't cheat. Number two, he brings up a very valid point. Which I didn't know. He said, the woman still has her job. She should not still have her job.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because there should be rules, and I'm sure there are.

[Andrew Schultz]

She was a subordinate to him, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it shouldn't be that way. You still making a choice? I understand the power dynamic, but you.

[Chris]

She didn't break into his house.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but he got fired. Cause of the relationship.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, he got fired because of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. The University of Michigan had previously fired Moore following an internal investigation. Related to the relationship.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, he got fired because of the relationship. So if the relationship is inappropriate, it takes two to be in a relationship. So neither one of them should be working for the University of Michigan right now.

[Alex]

That was good box, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

You said, well, that was good box.

[Alex]

To make him go that crazy, lose 6 million, and break into the house.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, Alex, no.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Explain. Alex, No.

[Alex]

I just think, like, that's a lot. He's throwing his life away.

[Andrew Schultz]

He is throwing his life away. His ability to provide for his family.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, I get what Alex is saying, but you threw your life away the moment you decided to cheat on your wife with somebody you worked with.

[Andrew Schultz]

There should be accountability for the person that works with them as well, actually. Listen, people are gonna disagree with this, and they're gonna say there's a power dynamic, this, that, the other. But I will say, if both were held accountable, it would limit the amount of relationships that happen at work. There's really no cost for somebody that's below you in the power dynamic at work to try to even have a relationship with you. Because if it doesn't work out, they're not punished at all. If it does work out, they get to hook up with you. And if they don't like it anymore, you get fired.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And guess what's even better? And guess what's even better in environments like this? If he hits on her and she's like, what the fuck are you doing? You're a married man. We work together, blah, blah. Soon as she reports him, he's in trouble.

[Andrew Schultz]

That is the protective thing. The reason why these rules came into play is because they were not protected in the past. But now, clearly, the university takes it so seriously that she could go up and tell the university and they would fire him. So now that we do have that protection for women, then we can hold them equally accountable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, because the key word no.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes or no?

[Chris]

In theory.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, in theory. Now, we also know some of these institutions, the head coach of, like, Alabama, could murder somebody and nobody would do shit. We do know that that happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That happened.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not murder, but, like, I mean, you know, shit has been swept under the rug.

[Chris]

For a young woman, the idea of reporting the football coach of a major college program is gonna be a pretty intimidating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But clearly she did. She did. Clearly she did. If they had an internal investigation into the inappropriate relationship and he was terminated prior to this incident, so clearly she did.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why would you report somebody that you were willingly sleeping with?

[Taylor]

Because he broke it. I'm assuming, like, after he broke in, then she was like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what it says. It says that he was. Go back up. Let me read it again. Go to the other one you clicked on Taylor. Cause it had the whole story in. Cause basically what she was saying was. Yes, this one. According to prosecutors, the relationship ended, but Moore allegedly continued contacting the woman despite her wishes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Which authorities say escalated into repeated unwanted contact.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's. That's what we're saying.

[Chris]

He was harassing her.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah. So he's firing off. Yeah, but he's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My point is he reported is what I'm saying.

[Taylor]

Yeah, of course.

[Andrew Schultz]

Of course. But his firing was for the harassment, not the relationship.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's what I assume.

[Chris]

I worked at a company where something like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it said the University of Michigan had previously fired Moore following an internal investigation related to the relationship. What does that mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm assuming the relationship. This internal investigation is they found out that he continued to contact her and she said, don't contact me, he's coming to show up at her house, etc. Etc.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't think. You don't think that. You don't think that she should be held accountable in any way, shape or form.

[Taylor]

He should.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not about whether she should or shouldn't because.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because what I'm. We're always told is that those relationships are inappropriate, period.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Regardless if he was harassing her or not.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. I mean, I don't think. I think she should have waited to the end of the season. I think that, you know, if. If you're a team player here and you're. You want Michigan to win or it's going to be his motivation, you know, but you're gonna be a distraction. You're gonna be a distraction for this team. That's, you know, maybe there's a bowl game at play here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a lot of words here that I don't like. According to the prosecutor, the relationship ended, but Moore allegedly continued contacting the woman despite her Wishes which authorities say escalated into repeated unwanted contact.

[Andrew Schultz]

So that's harassment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But isn't the relationship inappropriate even when the contact is wanted?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think. Wait. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Isn't the relationship inappropriate even when the contact is wanted?

[Andrew Schultz]

So you could punish her for the. We can find out whatever that is. I'm sure that you don't. I don't know. I'm not sure, but I imagine you don't get fired for having a consensual relationship at work, but maybe there is some punitive measure taking place. But harassing another employee, even if it's not sexual, just harassing that person, bullying them, like that's a fireable offense. And according to this investigation, they felt like that was something that he was doing. That. That's what I'm. That's how I'm reading it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I get it. I get it. I mean, I. I agree that this probably wouldn't have escalated to this point if they had just got caught cheating.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If they had just got caught cheating. I don't even know if he loses his job.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right? Because the guy. The guy with the Boston Celtics, Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I think in that situation, he was messing with one of the executives. Well, I don't know if that's true or not. That's what they would say.

[Andrew Schultz]

He was messing with another employee's wife.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But my point is, he got another job in the NBA. He's with the Rockets right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

Dirty work, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What happened?

[Andrew Schultz]

That's dirty work. You smashing one of your employees. Ex, like, wives, Current wife.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Alex's point. I gotta see her. I like to see why people make the mistakes they make. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? Like, sometimes you'd be like, we gotta.

[Andrew Schultz]

See if it was worth it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not never worth it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Also, she's throwing a biscuit at you like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I wanna see.

[Andrew Schultz]

We gotta see. We gotta see. I mean, the reason why they're showing us the pictures is because we want to see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That ain't worth it. The middle one. Neither one.

[Alex]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, neither one.

[Andrew Schultz]

The middle one is.

[Chris]

Who's the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The wife is the one he's in the picture with.

[Chris]

That's the girlfriend right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Taylor]

That's the girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn, man. All I'm saying is, yes, clearly we've had enough examples to see that these relationships are inappropriate when you have somebody that's the head coach, you know, best assistant, blah, blah, blah, this and that, but there's gotta be rules all across the board. For everybody.

[Andrew Schultz]

Double bunny, man.

[Taylor]

I was saying too, that I guess he was paying her. This chart showed that he was paying her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Paying her what?

[Taylor]

I'm not sure which one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

90?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He paying her to keep quiet.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But she works for the team, so why. Why is that him paying her?

[Andrew Schultz]

Is he paying her extra?

[Taylor]

Yeah, that's what they were.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So we can agree that there should be consequences for both parties.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes. Yes. It's tough when you're dealing with consensual adults, man. It's tough.

[Alex]

But more penalty for the person who's higher.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Here's the thing, Alex. There's more penalty for him because he got more to lose anyway. He's the one who lost a $6 million a year job. He's no longer the university.

[Andrew Schultz]

If you head coach, if you penalize them equally and you actually. No, I know, but if you actually penalize them. The problem is, is that we know that there are institutions and people that are so important to those institutions. They're like, too big to fail, so they'll be protected. But if you were to actually penalize the employees equally, it wouldn't really matter. The power dynamic. Because the second someone felt uncomfortable, they could talk to hr.

[Alex]

No, but look, here's the scenario. What if the boss is like, you better sleep with me. If you don't sleep with me, I'm a fire you.

[Taylor]

You sound like Dick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then. No, no, but look, it goes back to exactly what if she sleeps with him?

[Alex]

Then it's like, oh, you better not say nothing, because if I say anything, we both get fired. Like, that's a lose lose for the boss.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Goes back to what I said last week. Stop compromising yourself for positions, man. Stop.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's a lot of girls out there too. Like, you don't have to clap someone who works with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And we use that excuse all. And listen, I understand the power dynamic, and I understand that people feel pressured to do certain things. I am here to tell those people, you don't have to do that. Blow these motherfucking spots up. Blow em up. What are they gonna do? Try to kill you after you done blew? They spot up.

[Chris]

But that's a lot. If you're just someone minding your business at a company and a superior comes after you at a Christmas party.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So how does it ever stop, Chris?

[Alex]

But look, she blew.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How does it ever stop?

[Chris]

The way it stops is. I mean, this is my first corporate job. An older guy took me aside. He's like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nihau.

[Chris]

Oh, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He Gave me advice.

[Chris]

He gave me advice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no. You gotta learn to talk, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

I thought he tried you.

[Chris]

He took me aside.

[Andrew Schultz]

What did Russell Simmons do to you? Tell us what Russell Simmons did to you, brother.

[Chris]

It was one day during hot yoga. It was after hot yoga.

[Taylor]

How bad for.

[Andrew Schultz]

How bad you want to write this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Book about my telling Russell? Really got a thing for Asians, huh? Is that what you. Oh, that's. Hold on. What did the old guy say to you, though?

[Chris]

Chris said, don't shit where you eat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And that's the moral of the story.

[Andrew Schultz]

Dude, you guys should have got married. You could be Kim Morrow Lee Simmons.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris Morrow Lee Simmons is hilarious. Chris Morrow Lee. Oh, my God. Listen, listen. Chris is absolutely right. But this is what we gotta stop doing. And this is actually a continuation kind of the conversation we was having last week. Cause I was saying this to people all weekend. It's like, yo, at some point we gotta stop making excuses for why people end up making these decisions and choices and let them know they don't have to make that decision. And that choice. Blow these spots up, yo.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, load them up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The industry. There's nothing in the music industry worth that. There's nothing at the University of Michigan worth that.

[Alex]

She blew his spot up, and then he went and broke into a house and, like, harassed it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's his dumb ass.

[Alex]

But I'm just saying, like, sometimes, by.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The way, I'm not everything.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's not saying that. That's okay. Yeah. He's saying that she was also involved in a inappropriate relationship. And there should be some punishment for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That, I think way before the breaking in, when it was the wanted contact.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. That's fair.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. If it's wrong across the board for people to be dating in those situations, it can't just be based off the power dynamic, because it's going to always be an unequal power dynamic.

[Andrew Schultz]

If she admits. If she goes, yeah, it was consensual in the beginning, then you got to go, all right, well, then you have to leave as well. You're not allowed to fraternize with employees.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Simple as that. Simple as that.

[Andrew Schultz]

But now what you're doing is putting her in a situation where it's advantageous for her to say it was not consensual in the beginning. And I felt pressured based on a power dynamic, her job. And now she might be stretching the truth just to keep her job. Yo, it's. These things are tricky. These things are very tricky.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's tricky when it's the man and the woman. And this is why sometimes I like to see these roles reversed, to see how everybody backtracks on all of the.

[Andrew Schultz]

Have you ever experienced anything like that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of course, people ain't never consistent in shit like this. When you flip the dynamic. If it was a woman in that power dynamic with a guy, nobody would give a fuck.

[Andrew Schultz]

Give us a hypothetical about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Merry Bucky. Happy Hanukkah.

What else we got? Taylor King.

[Taylor]

So this is interview you and Dolly.

[Andrew Schultz]

Did back in September with Axios.

[Taylor]

Yes. And they're asking about your contract and you weaved your way out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't even remember this.

[Taylor King]

So, as you mentioned, I mean, it was 2020 when you started it, and I believe it was a five year deal. So your renewal is coming up with iHeart. Do you plan to renew?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what's so interesting about 2020? That it was Covid. Right. And so being that it was Covid, like everybody that I reached out to said yes to the Black Effect podcast network. And that's why we were able to launch with 20 plus. You know. You know, 20 plus different podcasts. But that's crazy. You knew that. I don't even.

[Taylor]

I was gonna say. How do you know this?

[Taylor King]

Because when the press release says it was a five year deal. And the press release came out December 2020. And we're almost there.

[Andrew Schultz]

Guys.

[Taylor]

Carrie can read.

[Andrew Schultz]

Carrie can read. That's amazing.

[Taylor King]

You learned anything today? So I don't think you answered my question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, we call that the weave.

[Taylor King]

You know, the bob in weave.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Saw Donald Trump say that on flagrant.

[Andrew Schultz]

The weave. Yes.

[Taylor King]

So we don't she's regularly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can you answer the question?

[Taylor]

Can you repeat the question?

[Taylor King]

The question is your deal with Iheart expires at the end of this year. Are you going to renew with iHeart?

[Andrew Schultz]

Why not?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't like to talk business. It's not the place to talk business.

[Taylor King]

Yeah, we're having a lot of media conferences.

[Taylor]

We have a lot of time to decide that. So we'll let you know.

[Taylor King]

December 31, 11:59, 8:00pm See, well, you guys are kind of alluding though, is that you're talking around like you're opting around.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm not alluding to nothing. Okay? I said I'm weaving.

[Taylor King]

Now you're doing the Dougie, There are options outside of I heart. It seems to be what we're hearing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Any. Any news on that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Still weaving, baby.

[Andrew Schultz]

Any news on that?

[Alex]

It's December, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Any news to drop?

[Taylor]

It's not the 31st yet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Still weaving.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's no news to drop, dude.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Still weaving. Subscribe to my YouTube, man. See the God ctha g o d man. Subscribe to my YouTube. Okay, I'm gonna Need to subscribe and subscribe to my YouTube. See the God C T H A.

[Taylor]

G O D and continue listening to Black Effect Network.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

LeBron again. What we got, Taylor? Okay, LeBron was bitching, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

What was he saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was. I saw it.

[Taylor]

It's like, what I'm fucking talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This was weird, bro. Like, I've never seen LeBron act like this. I'm wondering if LeBron. No, no, no, no. Not like this.

[Alex]

I haven't seen it. But he does bitch a lot, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dillon Brooks just slapped the ball at him, and then it got in his face a little bit, and then he's pushed in that. Why he grabbing the ref like that? Yo, that was wild.

[Taylor]

Entitlement.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm surprised they didn't issue him a kick him out.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, that. That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was wild.

[Andrew Schultz]

Putting his hand on the ref.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was wild. Wild, wild.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now, do you get to earn that treatment, though?

[Chris]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, if you're in the league at 40. What is he, 1 years old?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but he should know better than the grabbing, bitching.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think you guys would make a big deal out of this.

[Taylor]

Yeah, he's making a big deal out of this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Look at that comment. He said, damn. He grabbed the ref like he was brawny. This is going. This is very interesting. It's going to be very interesting to see.

[Alex]

He got a tech, though, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How LeBron? I don't even think he got a tech. I don't know. Oh, no, he did get a tech. He did get a tech.

[Taylor]

Look at his friend holding him back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just don't know why he would do that to the ref. And I don't understand what Dylan Brooks did that LeBron had seen him, threw the ball off.

[Taylor]

He just tried.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's. Dillon Brooks did a completely normal, smart play.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I'm saying. I don't get it. Then he bumped into him.

[Taylor]

Like, that's why he's just ignoring him. Like, boy, get away from it.

[Andrew Schultz]

What if he hit him with a little bow? Oh, I thought he was upset that the. Oh, I thought he was upset. He bounced the ball off him.

[Taylor]

That's what it looked like.

[Alex]

I think it's boat.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, I didn't see an elbow or anything. He was already upset.

[Alex]

He's kind of off screen, but he just bumps him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But Chris, he's a veteran. Like, LeBron has seen it all in the NBA. That shouldn't get him crazy like that.

[Chris]

It's hard to get old.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think so?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, it is, bruh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I'm starting to think. I'm starting to think that I remember.

[Chris]

The last time I used to play ball. I want. You just want to fight because these guys are running around you. You don't have the skills you used to have. You don't have the ability you used to have.

[Taylor]

LeBron don't got the skills.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And this is the. This. This is the first time I think LeBron has been in this position, like LeBron might be. I think LeBron's like the third option on the Lakers right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

Good, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause it's Luka, it's Austin Reaves, and then it's probably bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

But I think that's.

[Taylor]

I thought he was retiring anyway away.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He got another. He'll probably finish this year, maybe do one more.

[Alex]

And I feel like him and Brooks have always had like a little. So that's just like any little thing is going to set it off.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but not like that, bro. He grabbed the ref up under the arm. Like, he could smell it. He could smell his fingers right now and smell his armpits if he wanted to, bro.

[Alex]

He acts, but he's getting LeBron calls because that. Anybody else, that would have been injection.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was wild, bro.

[Taylor]

Who throws worst tantrums, your daughter or LeBron?

[Alex]

Yo, that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think LeBron.

[Taylor]

He'd be throwing tantrums.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think. I wouldn't say he throws, bro.

[Taylor]

Kobe would never.

[Andrew Schultz]

This LeBron is singular, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

As far as what?

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, this is the worst thing he does.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like a guy that's had all the pressure since he's 14 years old. The worst thing that he does is like lightly grab a ref by the arm as he's frustrated with another player. Like, it's almost like he's a victim of how good a guy he's been.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

100%, you know, like, if this was.

[Andrew Schultz]

Dennis Rodman, we wouldn't even be reporting it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you're right. Right. If it wasn't a non. Curse.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you had none curse, you're like, what the hell is saying? Like, yeah, it's exactly right.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's been that pious. He's been that, you know, good for the league. He's done nothing but uplift the whole league. So when he does this little thing, it becomes news. It's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, that's why I don't think people. LeBron gets enough credit. And that's the thing that people.

[Andrew Schultz]

I agree, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, when it comes to people like Jordan, we study his game and you know, he's the bar for that. LeBron should be the bar for how to start young, exceed expectations, and keep your head through all of it. LeBron's never had a major scale. We just did a story about the University of Michigan coach, 39 years old, you know what I'm saying? Just lost everything. LeBron has never been involved in any type of scandal like that. Nothing. That's what needs to be studied.

[Andrew Schultz]

The worst thing is he said he was going to Miami.

[Chris]

That we accepted as fact or just the situation now. But you gotta remember he got a ton of criticism for making his inner circle the guys that he came up with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris]

That was highly controversial at the time. It's a big mistake. No one's gonna hold him accountable. They don't have the information. The know how he knew what he was doing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And now they the bar. Now Clutch is the bar. Nah, you're right 100%. We represent a whole bunch of players other than Bron. But, like, he should be the LeBron James should be the bar. Like when you now you bring these young kids in the NBA and the NFL and teach them what to do and how to do it, it should be literally called the LeBron James rules. The Jordan rules were for the court with the Pistons. The LeBron James rules should be off the court for how to carry yourself as a young person. I mean, think about, like, when you look at Ja Morant, when you look at Zion, look at Ant. Ant's doing well.

[Andrew Schultz]

He got like baby mamas. He's paying him to fucking never seeing them again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that's not an ass normal.

[Andrew Schultz]

If Bron had one other. If Bron had one other baby mama, one other baby mama, people would make the biggest deal of this every single day. Skip Bayless would be talking about it nonstop all of the big. Yeah, bro, bro, bro. This is. This is what we gotta go off of. This is what we gotta go off. They try to stir up any different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I will say if he got. If he had another baby mama now, you know what I'm saying? But if he was coming out of Akron with a couple baby mamas, I don't think people would.

[Andrew Schultz]

They would use it against him, bro. But look, same thing is like that. It's a perfect example. Like aunt, you should give the league too, because of how he is on the court and his just personality off the court. He's just so engaging, so charismatic. But, like, there is probably concern because he's got some fuck shit to go along with it. And the league is like. The league could put its entirety in LeBron's hands for two decades without a fucking care in the world. They knew everything would be a. Okay, no controversy, nothing for two decades.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it's the fact that he started so young because you can, you know, you can put the Steph Curry's in that mix too. Steph has definitely done it right, But Steph didn't come out of high school. Steph wasn't on Sports Illustrated in high school.

[Andrew Schultz]

Steph wasn't the chosen one by a single parent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I get what you said.

[Andrew Schultz]

The circumstances that he came from.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Based off the circumstances he came from, you would expect LeBron James to do something he had.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, like, he has obviously amazing God given talent. Clearly he's a brilliant fucking guy. He's got a mind for the game that's like incomparable high emotional iq. And maybe that's it as well. But like easily like the craziest story we have against LeBron is like, is he really reading the books that he pretends to read before he gets interviewed in the locker room? That's the craziest controversy in the decision.

[Chris]

It was the Hummer in high school.

[Andrew Schultz]

He had a Hummer in high school.

[Chris]

That was a huge deal at the time.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, so it's like, okay, he got a car in high school and maybe he shouldn't have had a car. Dude, come on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gives a fuck? Like, that's. This man has been stellar, bro.

[Chris]

You think Wembiama has it? I feel like he's got a little bit of that. I could see him having a 25 year run maybe. I mean, he's so big that you wonder if his body will be able to do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But men, he's a foreigner though, man.

[Chris]

Not the same.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They'll never give the league to a foreigner. And then in the last few years have proven that if Jokic was from Kansas. If Jokic was from Kansas, oh my God, they'd be saying he's. And by the way, he is one of the greatest basketball players I've ever seen. But if he was from Kansas.

[Andrew Schultz]

Forget it. Forget it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on. They'd be saying he's the greatest NBA player of all. A big white boy from Kansas.

[Andrew Schultz]

Are you kidding me? Forget playing like him 100%.

[Chris]

So who's next then? Who's the face of the league going forward? I think they want it to be Ant. I don't know if it quite can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's never going to be a foreigner because all the best players in the league Right now are foreigners. If Shy was from Newark. Imagine. Imagine if Shy was from Newark. He's cool as shit. He can dress his ass off. He's balling. He's been an mvp, got a championship. If he was from Newark, oh, the league would be eating out his hand. He'd be the man right now. No controversies, no trouble. Like, he'd be the man right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

Brand safe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Every brand wants a piece of it. Oh, come on, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Are you kidding me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on.

[Andrew Schultz]

Girls like championship already. The fashion world loves them.

[Chris]

Can it be a guard? Cause they're guards who fit the criteria.

[Taylor]

Who?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They're not American.

[Chris]

Brunson, Max, you know, like, he needs a championship, though. They need a championship.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think Brunson needs a championship.

[Alex]

I think if Brunson had a championship, he could do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Brunson is market specific, but he's market specific.

[Chris]

He's very safe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but he's market specific. He's going to be a God in the biggest market.

[Chris]

The biggest market.

[Andrew Schultz]

He is a God in New York.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he's a God. If he wins a championship in New York, he'll be a God in the city forever. Like, he'll never have to pay for a slice of pizza.

[Chris]

What about Cade Cunningham?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cade Cunningham, exactly.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's like Detroit. Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's like he not even the most famous Cunningham in sports. You know what I mean? It's not to say he's not great, but you also need to have that appeal. People need to want to play like you. And that's what Ant has, that's what Steph has. That's what Shy has.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Joking. You can't play like him. But his numbers are so video game ish.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. It's also hard to be a big man and, like, the league is yours. Right. But he, again, there is that component where, if he was from Indiana, what it would be, it would be a rap.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who joke is that if he was from Kansas, his nickname would be Wicked or some shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, seriously, like, he would be the man. They're not giving foreigners. Imagine if Giannis was from la, you know, like, these guys would be all world, yo. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And it's not just us. Like, if some American kid was amazing at soccer, you know, Real Madrid is not going to give him the team.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Paris ain't gonna give him the team. It's just. You can't do it. You just can't do it.

[Chris]

No, I mean, I'm looking at the last all league teams. It's really Tatum and he just doesn't seem to have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, he don't got it. He's got the championships and everything.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's incredible. But you don't want to play like him. It's a different thing. It's like, he's incredible. But Allen Iverson, you wanted to play like him. You wanted to play the game of basketball just like AI played it. Steph, you wanted to play the game of basketball just like Steph.

[Chris]

10 year olds come down and pull from half court.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now Steph changed the whole league of everybody. Tim was AI.

[Andrew Schultz]

Tim go outside and everybody's going exactly crossover. You're going at the cup, you're going at someone's chest. But with Tim Duncan, for example, nobody wanted to play like him. We recognized his greatness, but no one was like, man, I'm working on my fucking fundamentals and my craft.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're not American either though, is he?

[Alex]

He's close, but, you know, it's interesting.

[Andrew Schultz]

Isn't he like BBI Bron has had.

[Alex]

It for the past 20 years, but no one really wants to play like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bron, because you can't. You have to have the physical gifts to do that. LeBron James is magic Johnson with muscles. He's like, he's like Magic Johnson, Carl Malone, like, that's the. That's actually the hybrid LeBron James is. You got to be a certain physical stature to even do what LeBron does.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you, you don't. You don't want to not play like him. Like, his game isn't like Tim Duncan's game where it was boring. Like, LeBron is still exciting. You know, he's still athletic. His bag isn't crazy. You want Kyrie's bag. Like, obviously Kyrie and like, you know, Kyrie's got his issues, but, like, Kyrie's bag is crazy. Everybody would love to hoop like Kyrie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everybody used to want to play like Shaq.

[Chris]

Moment who Harden had it for a moment.

[Andrew Schultz]

Harden did.

[Chris]

For a moment.

[Andrew Schultz]

Harden did when he was just dropping. And also, you know who had it for a quick moment?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Paul George.

[Andrew Schultz]

I was going to say Russell Westbrook, when he was dropping a triple double. A fucking game. And he was just all heart, tenacity, like that intensity. There was a version where, I don't know if you're handing him the whole league, but he's one of those guys where you're like, man, I love watching that guy play.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But to get handed the whole league, you have to have a level of consistency over a certain amount of time. And you really have to be the undisputed bar. Like LeBron and Steph have been the undisputed bar. LeBron and Steph, by the way, can I talk about something real quick? I see a lot of you sports guys taking takes from me that y' all told me I was crazy for saying three or four years ago. I been had Steph over LeBron in the goat conversation because of what Chris just said. He revolutionized the game of basketball, period, male and female. And when you talk about head to head matchups in the championship, Steph Curry's 3 to 1 against LeBron.

[Andrew Schultz]

Team sports.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all I'm saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't care. Team sports, okay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the same three to one against Bron. That's all I'm saying. Three to one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Team sport.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard Stephen A. Smith say one time he can't put Wilt Chamberlain over Bill Russell because Bill Russell beat him more times in the championship.

[Andrew Schultz]

I got all these opinions on Bill Russell based on never watching him play. Like I need to stuff all my Bill Russell opinions into the fucking trash somewhere. Like I just go off of what my dad says. And my dad said that he was the most dominant person he's ever seen on a basketball court, both defensively and offensively. It wasn't like him scoring, but like what he would do and how he could control a game facilitator. It was amazing. He just said he'd never seen anybody that was that transformative at the time. Now there was eight teams in the league at the time. It was a very different game. But I literally just regurgitating my dad's talking points. So.

[Chris]

And it seems like Wilt had a little brawn in him in that he was the most physically dominant player by far. But Bill was win the chips as much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I'm saying they let Bill coach.

[Andrew Schultz]

The Boston Celtics during racism. Yeah, like this is Boston we're talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

And he was so. They were like, yo, do whatever you want. This is like, that's how incredible he was. So I think that part of like Bill's greatness is wrapped up in that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it's the allure of the 11 championship.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, it's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? You win 11 championships, but.

[Chris]

But to your point, you can have something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm telling you, when it's all said and done, Steph is going to be the one that if Steph were to.

[Chris]

Win one more, that would seal it. I don't think he will.

[Andrew Schultz]

Here's a question yeah. Does transforming the game make you the best? I personally don't think it does.

[Chris]

It doesn't. Because Iverson wasn't the best.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But Iverson didn't win the championships. Steph did.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no. You are 100% right.

[Chris]

Well, I have Steph over Michael Jordan.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, obviously. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Michael Jordan changed the league, but he's another one that revolutionized the game. But he won the championship game.

[Chris]

Didn't revolutionize it the way that a.

[Andrew Schultz]

Steph, I disagree on that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who? Michael?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think Michael.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Michael, definitely.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think Michael.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Michael for Kobe. If you. Kobe.

[Chris]

Remember in the days before the Internet, you had the Come Fly with me tape and you could see a whole generation of players who just studied.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jerry Stackhouse. They used to call Harold Minor Baby Jordan, J.R. ryder. Like every two guard that came, Jordan transformed the game.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think the tricky thing is that not maybe you a little bit. How old are you, Chris?

[Chris]

55.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay. So you actually had time. Early Jordan Years.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We only knew Jordan.

[Chris]

I knew Struggle. Jordan.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. But Charlotte and I only knew Jordan. So I. We couldn't tell you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Into Magic Bird, but we couldn't tell.

[Andrew Schultz]

You how the league was transformed because we weren't watching enough hoops at the time to be like, oh, everybody played this way. And then Jordan entered, and now everybody plays.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This I saw.

[Andrew Schultz]

Really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

Because I wasn't old enough to see that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because the first championship. And this is why sports. This is why it's hard for us watching sports now. Cause of the storylines. When Jordan won his first championship, he beat Magic Johnson. So I remember watching basketball with my dad. I remember Larry Bird's last game. I remember the changing of the guard. Not just watching it, but hearing my pops and uncles and everybody say it. So when Michael beat the Lakers, when the Bulls beat the Lakers for his first championship, it was kind of like a changing of the guard.

[Chris]

Oh, big time. And plus, he went through the Pistons.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Went through the Pistons. He had to beat the Pistons, which.

[Chris]

Was a huge difference at the time. I remember in terms of a signature skill that changed the game. He was so well rounded. I mean, he. The dunk.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, I think.

[Chris]

And other people dunk.

[Andrew Schultz]

But it was the leap, the vertical leap with the skills. We saw guys like Dominique Wilkins have the verticality. But I don't think we saw Dominique. Dominique score with ease and dominate the game offensively in the same way that Jordan.

[Chris]

I mean, Jordan's signature skill, in a way, was his competitiveness. And that's what it's hard to, like, put a pin on.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. I hear what you're saying.

[Chris]

He just went harder than everybody else.

[Andrew Schultz]

And every game, all the time, he could go 100% all 82.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Michael Jordan had people getting bald heads. You know what I'm saying? He had them putting their tongues out. They used to literally call Harold Minor Baby Jordan.

[Andrew Schultz]

All of them are Baby Jordans.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He didn't live up to it when he got to the league, but literally, they called him that in college. Like Michael, he changed everything. Let's pay some bills. Taylor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick Lamar Tukam. Click on this. I didn't like this, Taylor. I didn't like this. I was watching Timothee Chalamet. That's how you say his name. Timothee Chalamet.

[Andrew Schultz]

Chalamet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Timothee Chalamet was on the 7pm in Brooklyn podcast, Salute to Mellow.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out. Mero and Mello.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mero and Kaz.

[Andrew Schultz]

And Kaz.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Monica McNutt's on there sometime too. But he says my white ass was like, he's in the middle of this beef. Can you imagine if this is how I go out? So he was talking about an interview he did with Kendrick Lamar during Super bowl weekend. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Taylor, you interviewed Kendrick ahead of the Super Bowl.

[Andrew Schultz]

What stuck with you with that conversation?

[Interviewer]

My big takeaway from Kendrick. It was during all the huge beef last year. I was so impressed that this man who was so calm sitting next to me, and I was like, wow, he's engaged in a gladiator sport right now. As much as I love hip hop and all this, I was sitting next to him. I was like, wow, I could not do that. I couldn't believe, like, you could be that big at war with somebody that big and go about your life. I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just chilling.

[Interviewer]

Just be chilling. I did the interview with Kendrick in a studio for a day. We did 30 minutes, and it was very. There was no time, really to do it, and it was very stiff. And I went home a little sad because I was like, man, I feel like we really could have got a good rhythm, and maybe he's just in super bowl mode. And then he called and he was like, all right, let's just meet you in a car and let's just roll. I was like, all right, let's do it in the gnx, you know? And then my white. I was like, wow, he's in the middle of this beef. I was like, can you imagine if this is how I go out with Kendrick riding the car, Actor Timothy Chalamet murder her. That'd be a crazy end of the Wikipedia. Yeah, he was taken out as a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Be on the show. Be like, got murdered. Listen to J next.

[Taylor]

That is crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't like none of that. Okay, wait, why? I hated the undertones of that. Just because you had a rapper and a rap beef, you thought you was gonna get shot at, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's never happened.

[Taylor]

Don't do that.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's never happened before. Like, like, hold on, let's be realistic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They were shooting a Super bowl commercial. I'm sure it was security everywhere, cameras everywhere. Now you were just hanging out.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sure. But it's not a ridiculous assumption.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's ridiculous.

[Taylor]

You're comparing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it's Drake.

[Taylor]

Drake, exactly. You're comparing Drake and Kendrick to Tupac and Biggie. Beef is crazy.

[Alex]

Yeah, but Drake, that's this generation's rapper. Like Drake.

[Andrew Schultz]

But Drake's not like.

[Alex]

Yes, he talks stuff.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, he really.

[Taylor]

He really.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'll be honest with you. I don't think the concern is ever the main guy. The concern is the crazy fans that are trying to curry favor with the main guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. And you're Timothee Chalamet shooting a Super bowl commercial, riding around with Kendrick Lamar.

[Andrew Schultz]

But they don't know it's Timothy Chalamet everywhere. They think it's Kendrick with his lawyer or something.

[Taylor]

But there's like. He just said there's gonna be security and cameras everywhere.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Timothy, like, you act like you just pulled up to the block and was kicking it in Compton at Tops Toy driving. Nothing would happen there either. But I'm just saying, you act like you was out in the street. Yeah, but.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, all right, hold up. Sorry, my bad, my bad. Pulled up. Hold on, Al.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My bad, my bad.

[Alex]

With cameras and everything. And shot at his house.

[Taylor]

But that's what you're talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When the.

[Andrew Schultz]

Al, you're missing this. We're hating, we're hating. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. No, we're hating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do happen, Al, we're hating.

[Alex]

We're hating.

[Andrew Schultz]

We got. We're hating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, Go, go, go. No, Timothy Charlamagne, you are in a full blown production.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're in a production.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, what are we talking about here?

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on, bro. Come on. No one's ever been killed on like a huge fight weekend in Vegas or anything like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, and he's shooting a Super bowl commercial, right? What are you talking about?

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't think there's more security in Vegas.

[Taylor]

This is a commercial.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Las Vegas a soup. It's a. By the way, this is a production. Yeah, they're Going to come to the production. Timothy, do you think hitters wait like.

[Alex]

Oh, let me make sure their schedule.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is free to play? Yes, they do. They're not coming to a full fledged Super Bowl. Production is shooting that up.

[Andrew Schultz]

By the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We don't even know where they were at. We don't even know where they shot it. I can like. We don't even know where they shot that at.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think, I think now we're hating. We're hating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I can't. We're hating. Ridiculous.

[Alex]

But Drake's house got shot up. The bodyguard got shot during this Time of the Beast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was it during a Super bowl commercial?

[Alex]

No, but I'm just saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you're not just saying. We're not shooting a Super bowl commercial.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a good point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

House has security.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're allowed to have irrational fear. You're allowed to have irrational a view of all people. You hugging a tree in the backyard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but I put things in context.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't be irrational.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm putting things like this.

[Andrew Schultz]

We can't be irrational.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, nothing was going to happen to him here. Nothing like at all. Like that's. And also, by the way, that's the whitest thing you could say, Timothy, he's white.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn. Not with an average on. Not with an average on. Courtside at Knicks game. That's the thing.

[Alex]

I don't like his stylist. They dress him to New York and he's not that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's not that. You got, you got a. I think he grew up in New York. That's why I didn't recognize.

[Taylor]

Look at the commercial, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why I didn't recognize him. Cuz I, I looked at Timmy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let me tell you something.

[Alex]

He's a guy, but he's not that Timmy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Timmy, you just, you're doing a lot of pods and you're doing a lot of things.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He does a lot of pods.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's a lot of exposure out right now and people are just starting to hate a little bit. That's what this is. Listen, I don't know, we all go through it when there's a lot of exposure, people start to go, eh, you're doing great, kiddo. You're doing great. It's okay to be scared.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is he from New York? Yeah, he's from fucking New York. And he's scared about riding around in a car with Kendrick Lamar.

[Andrew Schultz]

We don't ride in cars. He's not scared of being on the subway shooting the Super Bowl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Should be in New York. You shouldn't have no fear. We're hating.

[Andrew Schultz]

We're hating. Yo, yo, Timmy. Yo, don't be scared, bro.

[Chris]

How?

[Andrew Schultz]

How?

[Interviewer]

He's from new.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What part of New York is he from?

[Andrew Schultz]

He's from Harlem, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, get the up.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, what part of New York? Yo, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, by the way, I didn't even recognize him.

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I was looking at that thing, I was like, yo, I must not know what Timothee Chalamet looks like. But I'm seeing now is because in this he had hair and a mustache.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's not Timmy Chalamer. That's Timmy Turner.

[Taylor]

Shut up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Timmy Turner.

[Andrew Schultz]

Timmy, Timmy. Timmy Turner.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Timmy, Timmy, Timmy Turner.

[Taylor]

He also dates Kylie Jenner, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He does.

[Taylor]

Wow.

[Alex]

Born and raised in Manhattan.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he's from the city. That's what city boys. We up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've never in my life.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Seen you act pussy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who, me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You remember that time we went down to such and such and you was with a hall of goons? Not once did Andrew say, oh, God, I think they're gonna shoot this car up. And you was with some that day. Just bleep that, by the way.

[Andrew Schultz]

Listen, I'm just saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay? Bleep that, that. Bleep that, by the way.

[Andrew Schultz]

I might be more used to certain.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Environments than Timothee Solomon.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's a possibility. There's a possibility. That's, you know, let's do some asking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Idiots, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, Timmy, it's all good, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is all good.

[Alex]

We like Timmy over here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't have nothing against Timmy. I'm just saying that sounded silly, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think this is what happens when people do a lot of interviews and they're exposed a lot and the mystery of them kind of goes away a little bit. It's easy for people to start going, nah, that's some bullshit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what it was? It sounded silly, but then it also sounded very stereotypical, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Which is what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, don't be the white guy who's riding around with a rapper who says, you're gonna get shot. He's beefing with Drake. I hear what you know what I'm saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, Tim. If you got. He seemed like a cool dude. He seems, like, culturally aware, but that was a very culturally clueless moment. Like, come on. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I also think he's not from the hood. I think he's probably a kid who kind of observed it and he Believed the lore. And I think that when you believe the lore, it's probably a little bit concerning to be involved in something. When you hear that Drake's security guard got shot, how it's happened. I agree.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I would have no problem with his statement if he wasn't shooting a Super bowl commercial. If he said he was just out with Kendrick. Yo, man, I ain't gonna front. I was out with Kendrick and, you know, we was kicking it. We was just at the studio, and then all of a sudden I started thinking to myself, holy shit, he's in a beef with Drake. What if they just come and shoot this shit up right now? You were shooting a Super bowl commercial.

[Taylor]

Timothy, and the car was still. It wasn't like there was moving.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, the car wasn't.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a full production. You know, they do this shit on the fucking. They put it on the. What's it. I don't want to say. Gurney. Is it like a gurney? You know what I'm talking about?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it wasn't even. Come on. Security everywhere. It's Timothee Chalamet. Kendrick Lamar shooting a Super bowl commercial, I think by Apple.

[Andrew Schultz]

So what should he have said? What should he have said?

[Taylor]

Nothing. This is it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, listen, by the way, you say what you feel. If that was his true story. It is what it is. I'm just saying it sounded silly.

[Taylor]

He do look nervous, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's just. You could tell the moment when it kicked in, like, oh, shit. What do people in owls surround us right now? People in owl jackets. You know what I mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

That's when you could get out of the car as a white dude and be like, guys, I'm not involved. Guys, this has nothing to do with me. I have to shoot Dune three.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is he Jewish?

[Andrew Schultz]

Timothee Chalamet?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't think so. No. Why you asking?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause that's all the more reason not to be afraid of Drake. It's your brother. What the hell you mean, that's your fucking brother, Timothy. Shalom. Shalom.

[Alex]

Shalom.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shalom. Shalom. Shalom. Cut the fuck out, man. Let's do some asking. Idiots.

[Taylor]

Before that, though, shout out to Taylor Swift. I definitely respect her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell me that's big.

[Taylor]

I mean, she gave out over. Well, not over. 190. 197 million to staff on the story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's big. Let's play that. Let's play that. That's big. That's big.

[Taylor]

So this is her talking about it. Hold on.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's fire.

[Taylor]

Did Y', all, did you watch the doc?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why would I ever watch a Taylor Swift doc?

[Taylor]

I'm watching it now. What you mean? I want to see movies.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That shit ain't good as the diddy duck.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, hey, hey, employee.

[Taylor]

Look, I'll give you your props.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'll give you your props.

[Taylor]

I'm just going, like, saying her. Her performance is better than Beyonce. First of all, I'm just saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all, none of y' all should be getting no ideas.

[Alex]

Yeah, I'm just saying Liam Swift should.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Use Taylor Swift is acting her way.

[Chris]

She.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just saying Taylor Swift is acting her ways. I should look at what I give you bonuses, Taylor.

[Taylor]

I didn't say nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, but you know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They see Taylor. I'm just saying, they see Taylor giving out. They see Taylor giving out 197 million in bonuses and they like, yo, yeah, dude, how much did our tour make? Soon, as soon as one of this we doing make a few billion, then.

[Andrew Schultz]

You'Re gonna get your little $20. We're gonna give you $20. We're gonna do a little secret sailing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, man. I just need people to subscribe to my YouTube right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yo, please please subscribe to Charlotte Man's YouTube.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Please subscribe to my.

[Andrew Schultz]

Please, man, please, please.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's see, let's see, let's see it press, please.

[Taylor]

This is what Taylor was saying about bonus day.

[Taylor King]

Bonus day is so important because setting a precedent with the ERAs tour is work on the road. If the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus. And these people just work so hard and they are the best at what they do. So every single person on the crew, I've handwritten them a note. It took me a couple weeks, but it's fun to write the notes. It's like fun to think about everybody's lives that they're going to go back to and the time off they're going to have and the, you know, the kids they haven't seen because they've been away from months. And making that worthwhile for them. It feels like Christmas morning when you finally get to say thank you. Everybody has the same message on their card, so I was hoping you could open it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My full gratitude doesn't come from a.

[Andrew Schultz]

Bank, but here's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just to say long.

[Taylor]

Bleep, bro, telling you said 700 something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was a long ass bleep.

[Taylor King]

Oh, my God.

[Taylor]

Do you need a hug?

[Taylor King]

Are you okay?

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm gonna pass out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This dude said I'm gonna Pass out. One dude had a long ass bleep. The other dude was like, I'm gonna pass out.

[Taylor]

Out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, shout out to Taylor. That's the most g. I listen. I like, like that. I really like when I see people treating their people in that way, you know, because the easiest thing to do is make money. The hardest thing to do is for some people, for some reason is make sure that they people are getting taken care of. I don't know why. Like if. If I got it, you got it.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's. That is fire, dude.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is fire, bro. 197. I don't even know how big the staff is.

[Taylor]

And that's what I'm saying too. How big is the staff?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That said, I'm about to pass out. You know what I mean? That's. Hey, man, salute to Taylor. Yo, let's do some asking. Idiots, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

I need to know how much money that was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I need to know too.

[Taylor]

Seven something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I need to know the number.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cause. Cause what?

[Taylor]

Oh, wait, time out. Sorry.

[Andrew Schultz]

My brain.

[Taylor]

Can we talk about this nastiness of your president?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was nasty.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was nasty.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rest in peace to Rob. What is it?

[Andrew Schultz]

Reiner or Rainer Rayner?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rob. Rainer. I don't understand.

[Andrew Schultz]

That shit was nasty.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't understand the point of what Donald Trump said. So Rob Rayner died. Well, he got killed by his son, allegedly.

[Andrew Schultz]

Him and his wife.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Him and his wife? Was that the mom or was that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I'm not sure it was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it was the son's mom too. Oh, that's crazy. Donald Trump tweets. A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Rayner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as tds. He was known to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump. With his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness. And with the golden age of America upon us, perhaps like never before, may Rob and Michelle rest in peace.

[Taylor King]

A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Truth Social after the murder of Rob Reiner.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do you stand by that post? Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was a deranged person as far.

[Andrew Schultz]

As Trump is concerned. He said he liked. He knew it was false.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In fact, it's the exact opposite That.

[Andrew Schultz]

I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. You know, it was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself in career wise. He became like a deranged person.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Trump derangement syndrome.

[Andrew Schultz]

So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country. That's corny, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's.

[Taylor]

That's not okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's disgusting because in a lot of ways, in a way, you're admitting that you cause political violence.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because he's saying that he drove people crazy due to his Trump derangement syndrome. So because Rob Rayner didn't agree with Donald Trump's politics, somebody was driven crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Enough to kill his kid? Oh, that's the other thing. That's the other thing. It's like, we don't even know the circumstances. We don't know if his kid had mental health issues or drug issues. We don't really know what was going on. Also, his kid was his kid way before you were president. Like, this got nothing to do. This is just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why are you even asserting yourself?

[Andrew Schultz]

This shit is gross.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it's not even like, like, as a president, if you just can't say rest in peace or condolences, go to his family. By the way, this is actually something you don't have to comment on at all, at all, because you're the President of the United States. He's not like Rob Rayner was an elected official or anything like that. You don't even have to comment on it. You're just mad that this man has criticized you in the past, so you decide to take a. I don't even know if this is not even a cheap shot.

[Taylor]

And I don't think people even know what Rob Rainer even probably said about Trump too.

[Alex]

No, he was very outspoken.

[Taylor]

He was. Oh, I didn't. I didn't hear it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've never heard anything.

[Andrew Schultz]

But we never heard it. That's the thing. It's like, this is. This is the first time we're even hearing that they have beef. It'd be like if, when Rosie o' Donnell goes, man, his Twitter, he's. If this is what he's doing to Rob Rayner because he hates Rosie o'.

[Chris]

Donnell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Here's the thing, bro. When Donald Trump goes and everybody's celebrating, you inviting energy.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is inviting energy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want to see nobody. If you're not denouncing this, I don't want to see nobody in maga Upset when the world is literally celebrating.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, I. I don't think. Can I. Can I actually respond to that? Like, I don't think that's, like, that is the human reaction to things. We would hope that he doesn't do this, and we would hope that other people don't behave like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, but they will.

[Andrew Schultz]

They will. No, they will. That is the human react. We're emotional beings, and we're gonna let that get the best of us. I'm guilty of it. You're good. We're all guilty of it. But, like, we would hope it'll. Again, it's not the thing where you got to be, like, sad like, Dick Cheney dies. We don't have to sit here and have. But at the same time, like, stomping on someone's grave just feels ugly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It does. But they're gonna do it and nobody's gonna be mad when they do it. You know what I'm saying? Because this is some energy that you just simply don't put out into the atmosphere. Yeah, this isn't. This is.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is. I don't know what this was.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is more than he gave the dude that tried to kill him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's a great motherfucking point.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, there's a dude that tried to. There's multiple dudes that tried to kill him, and they didn't even get a whole page tweet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a great motherfuck. And right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, weren't there multiple assassination attempts on Trump? It was the one dude who got the ear, and then there was another one they got at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And when Charlie Kirk got killed, God bless the dead, didn't they call up people Raging left lunatics. They were lunatics for saying shit just like this.

[Andrew Schultz]

But that's why we got to keep that same energy. It's like, if you're going to call that lunacy, you got to call this lunacy. This is where the.

[Chris]

This is. I mean, I know everyone thinks I got TDS and whatever, but, like, this feels very uninteresting me, like, as President of the United States, to give this response.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, we gotta stop saying. Well, listen. Yes, I'm just. Yes. No, I'm with you, Chris. He is the President of the United States. But let's just remember that's just the position.

[Chris]

Yeah, I get it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Chris]

Like, he wasn't personality type. I mean, we spoke about Diddy last episode, right? And like, how you see a slightly psychopathic bent in him, a lack of empathy. Look, we, we were all together when Charlie Kirkus got killed. I didn't have any love for that guy at all. I didn't say a word because these.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Guys, you wouldn't wish that on nobody. Word up, Word up. Word up.

[Chris]

You don't do that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Word up.

[Chris]

He didn't do anything to deserve that. Even if I don't agree with his ideology, Rob Reiner didn't do anything to deserve this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your son cutting your throat.

[Andrew Schultz]

You also don't know what the fucking circumstances were. It could have nothing to do with his hatred.

[Chris]

There's also zero circumstance where child kills.

[Andrew Schultz]

The parents, where it's because they don't like a president.

[Chris]

It's just like, you know what that is.

[Andrew Schultz]

And if anyone.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, I mean if they do.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do it for that reason, the child is dealing with some real mental health.

[Chris]

Anybody? Yeah, we all have unfortunately some version of this in our family. Yes, Family, you know, you don't touch that. So the fact that, and he's a daddy himself, it's, it's, it's real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And the fact he's taking, it's like he's taking credit for. He literally says, reportedly, this is reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

[Andrew Schultz]

I just don't know who this is for. Like, I don't even see his base. Like, listen, his base is obviously there's a bunch of different people, but like, what about the religious folks? Like the God fearing people that understand that we're are all sinners and like, like, do you think that they're looking at this and they're happy and they're, they're proud of you? Like I can't imagine like a God fearing Christian looking at this and, and being proud of it.

[Alex]

Like I feel, I feel like his circle around him like doesn't check him at all anymore. I feel like he used to get checked a little bit. Now it's getting to the point where he's not getting checked at all. Cause you know, he doesn't write his tweets, he dictates them. And there's a lady right there writing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The tweets and somebody should be like, don't. Why?

[Alex]

Somebody tweeted that and said, okay, let me press it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Somebody should say why? Why? Why?

[Alex]

No, no, he doesn't write, he just dictates.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then I saw that, I saw that. Was that real? I saw that video where he was in like the room and he was saying, telling her, yeah, I saw that.

[Taylor]

She's. That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, until you see her salary in the bonus.

[Taylor]

But it's. No, I hear you with some stuff. Some stuff is just nice. I wouldn't want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm with you. Listen, it goes back to what I said. Don't compromise yourself for a position. Being Trump's tweeter ain't worth this, bro. If you're not going to be like, nah, we not posting that. Because when I see stories like the Rob Reiner story, the first thing I think to myself is, if something like that can happen, anything can happen. Meaning, like, if your son can decide he wants to slice your throat one day, your son. You watch this person come into the world and this person kills. Imagine, you know?

[Taylor]

But that's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, this person that you loved and you're raising, how do you not think about that? Come on, man. Like. Like, I don't. Yeah.

[Taylor]

Ever since I turned him on, any movie I see, that has to do like family. Like, literally, I put myself, this is your family.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And he also knows that this is probably a mental health issue because he capitalized crazy. He was known to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump. So you're saying that that's not what.

[Andrew Schultz]

People don't get driven crazy. People have mental health issues that are unearthed, obviously, by drugs or circumstances, et cetera. But these things exist, and they're, unfortunately, in a lot of cases, things we're either born with or horrendous traumatic experiences that we endure. Unearth them.

[Chris]

And it can happen to anybody, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Any family. We all in this room know better probably, than a lot of people about how real that is.

[Chris]

Right. I've seen it can happen to you, bro. Like, you don't know it.

[Andrew Schultz]

And it's.

[Chris]

And every parent tries to fix it. There's no parent who's like, yeah, whatever.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's.

[Chris]

Yeah, you know, like, come on.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, it's not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's wild. It's actually. It's actually wild, man. It's wild. Disgusting.

[Taylor King]

This message may be shocking to many millennials. If you are one, you might want to sit down. Right now. Loads of people are searching the following on low rise. Jeans, halter top, velour, tracksuit, puka shell necklace, disc belt. You likely place these in the dark of your closet in 2004, never to be seen again. But if you can find it in yourself to dust them off, there are a lot of people who will give you money for them sell on Depop where taste recognizes taste.

[Taylor]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's do some asking idiots, Mike. Asking idiots. With 2025 wrapping up, what cultural changes do you see coming in 2026? People believing actual trusted media sources. And a lot of you people are going to get exposed for your lies. I wanted to do and I'm still thinking about doing it, but I don't even know. I'm just giving somebody the idea. Y' all should do. Y' all should do the top five bullshit stories y' all heard this year. Cause you know what happens a lot? These podcasters, these youtubers, I'm a pod, you know, I'm wearing all of these things myself. But I'm saying these people in these spaces, the podcasters, the YouTubers, you know, they get on their platforms and say things that are not true.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get proven not to be true and then move to the next moves on. No, we need to, we need to do the top five or top ten bullshitters of 2025.

[Alex]

Like ah, number one and two, what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We did, what we put up.

[Alex]

Well, you'll tell people right beforehand this is a lie and then you'll say it and they still rolling.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about the people that say things like Charlemagne's getting paid by record labels or you know, like that type of shit. Like I want that type of shit exposed.

[Andrew Schultz]

And it's not only just, it's not only just shit about us. Right. It's just shit about shit.

[Chris]

Should I vow for it yesterday with the Australia shooting.

[Andrew Schultz]

So it wasn't real?

[Chris]

No, it was real. But there was a post going around that the Sun. I'm talking about the shooting in Sydney, was an idf. Ex IDF soldier. And it got a lot of traction and I was like, damn, that guy was IDF and he served in Gaza.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who started it though?

[Chris]

I forget the account, but it was an account with a lot and I was actually, no, I googled it. Didn't find any cross reference. And then I actually found an article in, I think it was the Jerusalem Post saying that these articles are getting planted by various sources trying to drive it back to a false flag Israeli event. But I spent 20 minutes kind of having to do that research. People, people aren't going to do that.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is what I was saying on the New York Times where it's just.

[Alex]

Like that discussion was great, by the way.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, thank you. Appreciate you. The. Which is like the news will correct facts, but they don't correct narrative.

[Chris]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

And the YouTube reaction channels and the YouTubers like they don't even correct facts. So it's like facts and narrative are completely. They put it out there, they let it simmer in the ether. And who knows how that starts to negatively impact culture. Who knows how that starts to negatively impact sentiment? And I think we're seeing a lot of it and it's kind of dangerous because people are radicalized without thinking they're radical. And that's the word. Like back in the day when you had radical opinions, you had to go to like a basement somewhere and meet up with eight people. And then you all kind of sat in your echo chamber for an hour. Now your feed just sends you 10 clips with the same point of view and you start to think, oh, this is what everybody believes. So you feel normal in your radical beliefs and that's a dangerous environment to live in.

[Chris]

Did you guys see the press conference? The new head of M1 in the UK?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Chris]

That's their highest spy and they have a new woman who's in charge of it. And she has a technology background. And she said by far and away the biggest threat to the west is Russian disinformation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think it's just Russia?

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not just Russian, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can't. Russia.

[Chris]

Well, mentioned China.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not just Russia. And you wouldn't bring up China, obviously, but it's not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you spy? You a fucking spy, Chris?

[Andrew Schultz]

Might be, bro.

[Chris]

Well, probably not, but anyway, his glasses.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are recording right now.

[Chris]

But no, I mean, she said that's, that's our job moving forward. She said every eight. You know, the, in the past, the skill of a great agent was to be able to cultivate human assets and to kind of personality.

[Andrew Schultz]

She's like, you can, you could radicalize a hundred thousand people, right? You don't have to cozy up to a, at a cafe.

[Chris]

She's like, if you can't understand tech, if you can't understand social media, you can't be an agent.

[Andrew Schultz]

And there's this thing, and I think it is true. Which is like the rich people or the Government wants us fighting with each other so they could take all our money. And I'm not saying that there isn't truth to that. But, you know, who wants us fighting with each other more than them? Our opposition.

[Chris]

Sure. Yeah, absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

Because if we can't unite about, like, what America is, what our identity is and what we want to do in the world, then it's very easy. You don't even have to go to war with us. We'll go to war with ourselves. And that shit is happening right now. And who's. Who gets the advantage in that situation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a fact.

[Andrew Schultz]

These united countries that are unfortunately united under totalitarian regimes and they push whatever propaganda they want to the people, and their people are too afraid to fight back. But, like, they have a massive advantage over us. If we have to go to war. We can't even decide what's right or wrong. We can't even decide what's true or false.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it's so funny. What did, what did they say about World War three? Kids? They say. What did they say? What did you say? World War III is going. It's not. It's going to be nuclear. But what was it?

[Chris]

You know, where it's like, you know, World War II was fought over five years. World War 3 is going to be fought in 15 minutes or something like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it was something like nuclear weapons. I can't remember the exact World War.

[Chris]

III will be fought with nuclear weapons. World War four.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sticks and stones.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. There's not gonna be no nukes. Nukes are so primitive. Nobody's gonna ever let off a nuke.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't need to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't need to. When you can just go cyber and fucking do these psychological operations against people like. You don't ever have to. Nah, Chris, I don't see it.

[Chris]

There was an article this weekend in, I think it was the late 60s. We sent an expedition high into the Himalayas, one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas, because we wanted to spy on China.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

China.

[Chris]

And we needed a way to keep the recording equipment going once it was planted on top of this mountain. So the idea they came up with was a nuclear powered generator the size of like, you know, a bowling ball or a little bigger beach ball.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's say they got it up to.

[Chris]

The top of the mountain. It's about a third of the size of a conventional nuclear weapon, but still a major nuclear weapon. There was a storm. They left it there. They went back down the mountain, they went back up the next month or whatever to retrieve it. Because it was generating so much heat, the ice ridge that it was on melted. It actually embedded itself into the mountain. They have no fucking idea where this thing is. Still, there's just a fucking nuclear bomb sitting on top of a mountain somewhere in the Himalayas that nobody knows where it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hopefully. It just kept melting, melting, melting, melting. Fell out to Earth.

[Chris]

But, you know, maybe it's in hell, The. The Genghis river, which, you know, probably provides water for like a quarter of the world's population, gets its water from the Himalayas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris, you just did some media shit, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, he's saying, like, I'm going to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell you why he did this. Media. I said that nobody will ever drop a bomb. He tells us about a bomb that's gone missing that could probably detonate on its own.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, it could contaminate the water supply leaks, but still.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My point is that's not somebody doing.

[Andrew Schultz]

It, but that's why it shows how.

[Chris]

Sloppy people have been.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm saying that. I'm saying nobody's gonna ever push the button and say, boom, boom, boom.

[Andrew Schultz]

I hear you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all I'm saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know about nobody, but I hear what you're saying. It's like the collateral damage of that is game over for everybody.

[Chris]

But that means if the bomb's in the hand of a responsible government.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The point is, Chris, the bomb is in your lap right now. The bomb is in your. These are all little nuclear bombs.

[Chris]

I get it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That laptop is the bomb. Like this is the bomb. Like, this shit got us in a chokehold.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yup.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This shit is feeding us so much shit all day, every day. That's what I see the biggest change being in 2026. It's going to come back to people just actually trusting certain sources, because all they're going to want is the truth. I don't know about y'. All. I can't go the rest of my life asking, is this real or not? Every single picture, every single bit.

[Chris]

I'm like, it seems there's been an amazing uptick in that even over the last two months. In terms of the impact images.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Chris]

I'm like, I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what's real or not no more. Yo, that video of TI with the.

[Andrew Schultz]

Bald spot, that's fake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A I.

[Chris]

You serious?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Manipulated? Yes. Like, I don't know what's real and what's not real no more, man. But I do know I'm gonna do my part in just exposing a lot of people who just Be straight up lying. Because these, because these people are making a lot, I don't know, a lot of money, but they're doing pretty well. Monetizing.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, they're making money. They're making money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it'd be lies about stuff that you could actually look up. Like people will lie about ratings or numbers or numbers brewing. And I can only speak about us because I know what we're doing. So I can know when somebody's lying. One of the biggest lies was the. When there was a guy who said I didn't want the Drake lawsuit to go through through because there would be a line item in it that said Charlemagne, the God gets paid by Atlantic Records. And I've been getting paid for the last 15 years. I'm like, what the. How do you just get on your platform? Say some like that and you know, I don't be forgetting nothing. I'm aware of everything and acknowledge nothing. But that's the type of, I mean when I say people should be doing year end wrap ups, exposing the biggest caps of that people just got on their platforms and said for engagement and views. That just was not real. Yeah, that's it. What else we got, Taylor gang? I'm not talking about this. You know, I'm not talking about that. Scroll up. What else we got, Taylor gang? Who's that? Who's this from Choclorain1 says if you could go back and relive a moment. Chocolate, chocolate.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like chocolate, chocolate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, chocolate rain. One said says if you could go back and relive a moment or event for the first time again, what would it be?

[Andrew Schultz]

And it has to be the exact same way that you did it. Like you couldn't change anything about it. You just got to experience it again.

[Taylor]

Oh no.

[Andrew Schultz]

My wedding day was awesome.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wedding day was fire, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wedding day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wedding day was fire, bro. I wore a different suit. I think about that all the time. I would had a better suit.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, you got. You just gotta live the whole day again. You get to experience the whole.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know I do. That's why I want to wear a better suit though.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you're not allowed to change that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, that's whack. I could wear a better suit. Nope. No.

[Taylor]

Wayne, that guy saw sick.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yep. My event.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm going to tell you one of my favorite moments of that day. It was a very like very unappreciated moment because I'm the only person I think noticed it. Taylor was high out of her mind, right?

[Taylor]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You noticed like high as shit. Oh yeah. Because Of Alex, but not because of me. She's not in this space anymore, so it's easy to laugh at. She was high out of her mind looking around. And all I kept thinking to myself was, this will never be you.

[Alex]

Jesus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But now look.

[Taylor]

Now look at you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? But in that moment, look at God. And I think I might even have said that to her. This one. Yeah, you did.

[Taylor]

You did say that to me. That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know if I did or not, but I really thought it. Cuz the way she was looking. She was on the dance floor we.

[Taylor]

I was.

[Taylor King]

You know, I was not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You and your wife dancing. Me and my wife dancing. And everybody listen. I'm looking at her like, this will never be. Now look at you, Taylor.

[Andrew Schultz]

Mama Taylor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That moment. Was that today.

[Taylor]

But you know what's. So I got to tell y' all about this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You was thinking that wasn't you?

[Taylor]

No, I was not thinking about that.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're a lot.

[Taylor]

I was like, wow, this is beautiful. Like, for real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's. Well, like, ain't sure that's her version. I saw deeper than the. You were beautiful. She did think it was beautiful, cuz.

[Taylor]

I was recording it. Like, I have still the recording of like what you said to. To her and what she said to you. Like, I thought that was real, real beautiful even.

[Andrew Schultz]

How y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All. Your eyes were watery in the middle of the dance floor.

[Taylor]

Was it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your eyes were watery in the middle of the dance floor. And I'm just like, tay, this will never be you. Now look at you. God is good, man.

[Alex]

You're evil.

[Taylor]

The fact that you said it would never be me is crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, it wasn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, it wasn't that. I. No, let me take that back. It wasn't that. I didn't think that it couldn't happen to you. Just in that moment. It was such a great thing to say. Cause you were so in your feelings about how beautiful the wedding was.

[Alex]

Evil.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Evil. He's a bad guy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he's a bad guy.

[Taylor]

I can't wait till my wedding day. I'm gonna to say a specific thing just for you, Shawn.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, don't you dare.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just let me speak.

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't you dare make it about him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't you dare give him.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let me dare give him any shine on your day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just let me speak.

[Andrew Schultz]

You make it about you, boo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, just let me speak at the wedding. I can tell the story.

[Taylor]

He gonna make up so much stuff. He's already saying that he's the one, introduced me to my partner and all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, yeah, man, he's walking you down the aisle.

[Taylor]

He just started saying that now, like it's so random.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're not gonna.

[Taylor]

No, he did not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he did. He did. I remember he did.

[Andrew Schultz]

How do you remember Roger from Rawway with the Range Rover? That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. I introduced you. That's why I used to call him. I introduced her. I introduced you. He's so funny.

[Andrew Schultz]

We were protecting his identity.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I'm glad, though. How high were you at Andrew's wedding?

[Taylor]

I was out of her place. I ate, too. So this is the problem, though. I had an edible. And then you gave me these chocolate.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shrooms and you were outta here.

[Taylor]

Just hit that once.

[Andrew Schultz]

And I remember.

[Taylor]

Yo, I remember just sitting there, like, it was so much stuff going on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, I'm gonna be honest with you, though. First of all, that moment wasn't last. But I love a wedding, bro. And there's certain weddings. I remember, man, when Andrew was sitting up at that goddamn altar and you took that deep breath and you. When you wiped that goddamn Denzel Washington tear. That one tear. Now, Denzel had that one little tear from Glory. When you wipe that shit away, man, I was like, God damn, love is beautiful.

[Taylor]

I like how it looks traditional either, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I loved the. I loved the speech you gave before we ate dinner. And you were just talking about, you know, your diverse friend group and how you love just seeing all of these people together. And you was. I can't remember the exact words, but you was just like. And, you know, just take the time, if you can make. If you really wanna make me happy. Take the time to talk to the person that you didn't come with or something like that. Like, get to meet people and know people here. I just. I don't know, man. It just was dope. Cause that's, like. That's a different level of love. Cause you and your wife came together in holy matrimony, bringing y' all love together, but you brought this room of people together that you wanted to.

[Andrew Schultz]

These are all the people that I love.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

I wanted you all to connect. And I think I've been really fortunate in it.

[Chris]

Like.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, almost all of my friends kind of know each other, and some of them become incredibly close. But I don't have really that many separate groups, so it's cool to have all of you guys in one place and everybody kicking and hanging out and, like, Ah, it was just great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love it, man. I Love where. Yeah. Weddings are great. I love weddings, man. I love wed. You invite me to the wedding. I'm pulling up, cuz. I just love weddings, bro. Weddings are fan tastic.

[Taylor]

What about you? You didn't say your favorite movie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't know, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, he said wedding, but he would want to change his suit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, that would definitely. I don't. I really don't know. I really. I don't. I really don't know. Yo. Because I'd be. I'll be afraid to go back. I don't want to go back. Because if I go back, I might not come back.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, but you don't know. You only get to live that day exactly what it was you get.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, so we don't know nothing? We know nothing? No, I know.

[Taylor]

I would do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What would you do when I went.

[Taylor]

To go see Kendrick Lamar and Elliot.

[Andrew Schultz]

Over the.

[Taylor]

Why you mad over your.

[Andrew Schultz]

Over the birth of your child?

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Taylor]

Because. Well, first of all, time out. Because. Listen, listen, listen, listen.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, listen. Timmy Chalamet got every right to be scared, bro. That's n. He got every right. You got every right to be scared, Yo.

[Taylor]

Listen, listen, listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That why you named your baby George Nicholas?

[Taylor]

I did not name him. That stopped. Stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

George Nicholas Xavier Hayes. They call him Gna.

[Taylor]

That is not. That is not true. Do not listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what you're talking about.

[Taylor]

And yet that was a happy moment. But it hurt, though. You're talking about, like, just. I'm talking about without the pain. Yeah. I want to go see Kendrick again in la. That was fun.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's crazy.

[Taylor]

Why is that crazy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, I don't think it's crazy. I'm gonna be honest. I'm sitting there thinking to myself, you would've had to ask.

[Taylor]

That's the thing. I don't. I regret the birth of my son. That's not what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know why? It's hard remembering where a moment I would want to relive because I don't be remembering.

[Taylor]

Why are you laughing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, George Nicholas Xavier Hayes.

[Taylor]

Come on.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on.

[Taylor]

Why is. Why is that weird for me? But he didn't say his daughter.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just saying, though the wedding starts with the daughter. Though the wedding is the genesis.

[Andrew Schultz]

The wedding is different. Like, also, like, my daughter's birth was very traumatic for all of us. Like, you know, it was just. It was so.

[Taylor]

Why can I say the same thing? I'm not saying, like, traumatic, but I didn't say.

[Andrew Schultz]

I didn't say The Taylor Swift concert. Like, if I said that, you'd be like, you're crazy. Sh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's the one day of your life.

[Taylor]

Well, okay, so backstory. Backstory was how I even got to the concert in the first place. So, yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, let's. Let's. Let's do a couple more asking. Do one more, man. What else we got? I ain't mad at you. I mean, listen, George Nicholas.

[Taylor]

That's not his name.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, one more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gnx. Oh, this is a good one. Schultz. Somebody said unhinged, Zo says, did Schultz deal with imposter syndrome as a new comic? If so, how did you overcome it?

[Andrew Schultz]

No. Nevertheless, not as a new comic. No. Because, like, yeah, I think the imposter syndrome comes in when you're successful, right? So it's, like, where you feel like maybe your talent doesn't match the success you have. But I think in the beginning, you don't feel like an imposter because you're like, I'm just starting this, and I'm nowhere. So, like, those things are kind of aligned, I guess you could say, a little bit, like. Like, I don't know if this is imposter syndrome, but, like, I didn't want my friends or family to come see me in the beginning because I was like, all right, I suck, and let me try to get good at this before I invite them out, you know? So maybe there's. Yeah, maybe there's that kind of.

[Alex]

When the success started, do you feel it was warranted?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's interesting. Not. It's something about you're not afraid to be naked in front of a stranger, but you're afraid to be naked in front of people that you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, because they have an idea of you. And then you're like, oh, fuck. Seeing me bomb on stage, is that going to shatter their idea of me off stage? Which is, like, silly, but, like, those are things that go through your head. But in terms of, like, career and those things, like, I think probably more imposter syndrome during, like, the MTV and GEICO days.

[Chris]

Really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Less with stand up, because it's like, I'm putting it out, and the people are there laughing and the people are coming. Like, it was so transactional with the crowd. Meaning, like. Like, they saw the standup, they wanted to come see me, so it felt justified. I can understand. Like, you're. You're in a popular TV show, and then people are coming to watch your standup or something, and you're like, do they even like me? Or do they like this character from the TV show. You know, like, if you're Ross from Friends, like, I wonder if you're thinking, do they like me that the person, or do they just like Ross from Friends and you're not Ross from Friends? Maybe it's a version of you, but, like, you know, then I think there might be some imposter syndrome going on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The TV show, though, because on the TV show, we're being honest, we're being funny, all the things that you need to be on stage, and you're still Andrew Schultz.

[Chris]

So.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, wait, what do you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So even if they're watching Guy Code and they like you from Guy Code, yeah. That makes them want to say, oh, he does stand up, too. I think he's funny. I think he's smart. Let me go watch.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was. It was definitely being myself. I think being myself and people appreciating that or not appreciating that, like, that felt justified to me. So it's like, if you didn't like me, it's like, yeah, you don't like me for me. If you do like me, it's like, yeah, you like me for me. I think if I made it in a different way where I was, like, pretending to be someone I'm not, and then I was getting all this love, I think there might be a version where it's like, do they even like me? And I wonder if actors go through that.

[Alex]

Sean Lee, what about you? Was there ever a time you think, feel, Hell, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just got over imposter syndrome. I remember the day. December 2019. Really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, I think that it's the success that comes with what it is that we do. And you always wonder if you're worthy of the success. I mean, what the fuck do we really do, bro?

[Alex]

But where'd you feel it? And what, like, seriously, like, what realm did you feel it for? Like, radio or, like, other things? Oh, everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Cause it's. It's like, I guess to Andrew's point, when I get on the radio, I just. I enjoy doing radio. Like, I know I'm good at that. You know what I mean? But then when you start factoring in everything that comes with that, like, all of the other opportunities that you're able to create because of that. Yeah, it's just a part. It's a part of you that's just like, am I really. Am I really worthy of this? Like, am I really who I think I like? I'VE literally been. I remember. And I remember sitting down when I did the homecoming speech. I mean, not the homecoming, the commencement speech for South Carolina State University. I want to answer that question. That's going to be the last one you ended on. And when they started, when they were just rattling off your. All the accomplishments, right? This shit was long, bro. I'm talking about, like, 15 minutes long. There was a period. I'm not even joking. There was a part where I'm just like, who the fuck are they talking about? This motherfucker. You know what I mean? I had to snap back into reality, like, oh, shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, wouldn't that reset. Wouldn't hearing all those things about you make you go, oh, wow, I have done all these things, and I am accomplished and I deserve my success?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm really just starting to get to that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, interesting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, really. Like, I think 2019 was the first time I embraced it and said I was worthy. But I'm really just getting to the point now where I'm like, okay, but I also think you have to have a bigger intention to whatever it is that you're doing. I think intention helps to negate imposter syndrome because it's not about what you're doing, it's what you're doing it for. And if what you're doing it for is valid, righteous reasons, and what you're doing doesn't just benefit you, it benefits other people. I think that helps to negate the imposter syndrome.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think that makes sense.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like I've been told y', all, if what you build only benefits you, it's not big enough.

[Andrew Schultz]

So, amen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's end on this one, man. It's Brit Brat says that's not. Oh, I was about to say that's not my cousin, Britt Brat. Salute to Britt Brat. Garlic crafts. What became more important to you this year and what became less important? Oh, easy one for me.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What became more important to me this year, people? And what became less important to me this year, people? I knew you could say that straight up. Because it's not about how many people are with you. It's the quality of the people that's with you. And people don't realize 2025 was the year of the snake. And the year of the snake is all about shadow. You shed people, you shed relationships, you shed negative energy. You shed everything you don't want to carry with you into 2026, which is the year of the horse. Also, 2025 was a nine. Year nine is the highest level of change. So everybody out there, if you feel like things are coming to an end, and we've seen a lot of things come to an end this year, but you've also seen a lot of people have new beginnings as well. It's all karmic, bro. It's supposed to happen. If you feel like something is changing in you, if it's. If you feel a shift, if you feel like it's things that you want to let go of because you want to step into new things, do it. This is the year to do it. This is the nine year, the highest level of change. So only thing I can tell y' all going into 2026 is I can show you better than I can motherfucking tell you, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

I love that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's it.

[Andrew Schultz]

I love that. Yeah, I think family, I mean, family, and. Yeah, family. It's a time you always felt it. But, like, then once you have, like, a wife and you have a kid and you really. That's important to me. As long as that is good, everything's good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everything's good, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, like, I went through, like, a lot of crazy shit, you know, over the last year, but, like, as long as my kid loves me, my wife loves me, it's amazing how none of that other stuff really matters at all, you know? And I don't know, it's one of those things where I just feel so lucky. I was telling my wife this the other day. I was just like, I feel super lucky that this is the most important thing to me, you know, if the most important thing to me is whether the Internet loves you or something. Yeah. It's like you're set up for misery, and there are people I'm sure that that, like, really is the only thing that drives them.

[Taylor]

And.

[Andrew Schultz]

And don't get me wrong, it's like. That is also nice. That's amazing when that happens. But you can't control that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope. Live for the cheers. You die by the booze.

[Andrew Schultz]

A 100%.

[Alex]

I've also noticed you been more intentional seeing your folks. Yeah, always been, like, a super workhorse.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Work, work, work, work.

[Alex]

And, yeah, this year, like, you made an intention to see your folks more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's a blessing, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have your family in New York City is a blessing. Have your parents in New York City to be able to pull up on your parents. Because that is the one thing that I know for a fact I'm going to regret over the last 15 years because I've been up here doing what I'm supposed To be doing. And, you know, I got my whole existence, not just professionally, personally, is here. Like, my kids weren't born in South Carolina. My kids were born in New York and New Jersey. And so my life is here. So we get home when we can. But, man. Bro, bro, we are not young. So if we not young, what are our parents? You know what I'm saying? It's just like, every time I go home, I see my parents, and it's just like, yo, they getting older, you know? And it's just like, you're not going. You cannot get that time back. So anybody that lives close to their parents, yo, take advantage of that shit, bro, and get to see them as much as you possibly can.

[Andrew Schultz]

Even if they drive you crazy, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Even if they drive you fucking crazy. Cause, you know, the illest thing about parents, I don't think we've. I don't know how you feel. I still haven't unlocked all the secrets. There's so much I want to know about my parents, because the more you know about them, the more you start to know about yourself. Like, there's this little book, and I encourage people to get this for Christmas. It's this book, and it says, I don't know if they got a mom, but I only saw the dad one. But the title of it is, dad, I want you to tell me your story. And so you give it to your father, and he writes down his life story. That's all we gonna have when they're gone.

[Taylor]

My mom, for her to do.

[Chris]

My father just dropped a story on me. I was like, how the hell did you sit on that? For my entire life?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some heat.

[Chris]

Murder.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He killed somebody.

[Chris]

Great grandfather.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He killed his great grandfather?

[Chris]

No, my great grandfather.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, what? I was like, what?

[Chris]

I was like, where you sat on that your entire life? She's like, I think I told you that. And I was like. Like, yeah, I would have remembered that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Andrew Schultz]

How'd he. How'd he kill him?

[Chris]

He was a Irish immigrant in Massachusetts, and they didn't want to let the guys leave. Apparently, you know, they'd make money, but they wanted them to keep the money in the camp. And he snuck out one night. He saved up all his money. He didn't drink. He didn't do what the other guys did. And he was trying to get back to Boston to go back to Ireland, and he was walking on a train track, and he realized that somebody was following him to rob him of the money. And he had gotten a gun. Before he left, he shot the guy, apparently kept it moving, went back to Ireland, and then had my grandfather in Ireland, and then my grandfather, in turn, came to America later. But I was like, you never told me that. He's like, oh, no, I'm pretty sure I told you that. Wow. Whoa.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wow.

[Chris]

That's a. Wow. That's a story.

[Taylor]

Can I add on to what you say?

[Andrew Schultz]

Sure, sure.

[Taylor]

So God bless the dad. My grandma passed this year.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm sorry.

[Taylor]

And. But thankfully, she was able to meet her great grandson. Oh, but she's the last of her generation. Every year or every Christmas, like, all of our family comes together, and she. That was the last.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So telling you, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

But she got to meet the little man.

[Taylor]

Yeah. So I'm thankful for that. But, yeah, family's definitely.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Spend time with your folks, man. Happy holidays, y'.

[Taylor]

All.

[Andrew Schultz]

We love you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We love y', all, man. 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, I think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit. And you're right, too. It's the Brilliant Idiot Podcast. Thank you for listening.

[Andrew Schultz]

Peace.
