First Person Sweeper

Summary

TDE vs. Death Row Records Debate

The episode kicks off with Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz diving into a heated discussion about the supremacy of West Coast record labels. Charlamagne passionately argues for Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), emphasizing its longevity and cultural impact. At [01:09], he asserts:

"If you want to combine longevity with cultural impact and classic artist albums that have real artistic value, you gotta go TDE."

Andrew counters by acknowledging Death Row Records' significant cultural footprint despite its shorter lifespan, stating at [02:10]:

"Yeah, but Death Row had a four-year run from 1992 to 1996..."

They explore the merits of both labels, ultimately highlighting TDE's sustained influence in the hip-hop industry.

Grammy Success and Performances

"Shout out to Dochi, she actually is a great TDE artist."

This segment underscores Kendrick's dominance in the music scene and sets the stage for their subsequent discussions.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake Beef

A significant portion of the episode centers around the ongoing rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, sparked by Kendrick's track "First Person Shooter." Charlamagne elaborates on the origins of the beef at [14:24]:

"If you say something about the big three and you say, 'I'm Muhammad Ali,' you're saying, 'You're the heavyweight champion of the world. You're the goat.'"

Andrew probes deeper into the dynamics of their competition, questioning the nature of their confrontation:

"Are you telling me in hip hop you're not allowed to say you're the best?" ([14:01])

Charlamagne responds by distinguishing between healthy competition and actual beef:

"Kendrick really wanted to engage. They flirted with engaging." ([14:19])

The duo debates whether Kendrick's "Not Like Us" is merely a diss track or a broader cultural statement, contemplating its potential longevity and impact.

Analysis of "Not Like Us"

Charlamagne and Andrew dissect Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," debating its classification as a diss track versus a cultural anthem. Charlamagne emphasizes the song's differentiating message at [05:36]:

"Not Like Us is something people say to differentiate themselves from other motherfuckers."

Andrew explores the song's universal appeal, noting at [16:53]:

"The power of that song is like, if you're not from the west coast, you still can relate to the theme of they not. We're different. We're special, and they're not like us."

Their discussion highlights the track's dual nature as both a competitive jab and a celebration of West Coast identity.

Elon Musk's Government Influence

The conversation shifts to Elon Musk's controversial role in governmental operations. Charlamagne criticizes Musk's unprecedented control over essential government functions at [20:28]:

"Elon Musk literally controls how the government pays people right now. He's not an elected official."

They discuss the implications of Musk's influence, particularly his involvement with the Treasury Department's payment systems, expressing concerns over accountability and transparency.

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively Legal Drama

A substantial segment delves into the alleged legal conflict between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. The hosts dissect various facets of the controversy, including accusations of sexual harassment and defamation. Charlamagne outlines the necessity for impactful media coverage at [27:38]:

"He needs the right headline... How many lies is Blake Lively going to get caught telling?"

Andrew narrates excerpts from Baldoni's voicemail apology, highlighting the personal and legal tensions:

"I need to start with an apology, man. I reading the second part of your message. My heart sank and I'm really sorry for what I for sure." ([37:14])

Their analysis suggests a complex interplay of personal grievances, legal battles, and media manipulation, raising questions about the veracity and future of the allegations.

Super Bowl Proposal Speculation

Charlamagne and Andrew engage in a humorous yet speculative discussion about the possibility of Travis Kelce proposing to Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl. Charlamagne fantasizes at [44:16]:

"If Travis the Chiefs win and Travis proposes to Taylor right there and then retires."

They envision various scenarios, blending pop culture with sports excitement, and ponder the potential media frenzy such an event would generate.

NBA and Dallas Mavericks Trade

The hosts pivot to NBA news, specifically the unexpected trade of Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks. They explore potential reasons and conspiracy theories behind the move. Andrew questions the management's decisions at [62:20]:

"To me, what that's indicative of is Nico going, 'I don't believe that I can get enough out of this guy.'"

Charlamagne speculates on broader implications, hinting at possible hidden motives or strategic maneuvers within the league.

Diddy, 50 Cent, and Rick Ross Dynamics

Charlamagne and Andrew touch upon the intricate relationships between prominent rappers like 50 Cent, Rick Ross, and Diddy. They discuss loyalty, business strategies, and personal dynamics within the hip-hop community. Charlamagne comments at [59:35]:

"When you're friends with 50, you know he don't want you forgetting with anybody else."

Their conversation sheds light on the complexities of friendships and rivalries in the music industry, emphasizing the delicate balance between personal alliances and professional endeavors.

Creativity and Podcasting Insights

Towards the end, Charlamagne and Andrew reflect on maintaining creativity and avoiding burnout in their podcasting journey. Charlamagne shares his approach at [73:24]:

"Every platform I have requires the same me with a different version of me."

Andrew highlights the discipline honed through years of radio and podcasting:

"What training radio is, because you're doing a pod every single day for 10 years." ([73:05])

They offer valuable insights into sustaining creative energy and adapting to various media formats, underscoring their commitment to delivering engaging content.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This episode is brought to you by.

[Andrew Schultz]

Tic Tac Summer tastes like Tic Tac.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tantalize your taste buds this sunny season.

[Andrew Schultz]

With Citrus Adventure and orange, two everyday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Flavors that bring summer in every.

[Andrew Schultz]

Tic Tac Citrus Adventure is a yummy, vibrant medley of lemon, lime and mandarin. And Tic Tac Orange is the perfect mix of tangy and sweet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Visit us at Tiktacusa on Social to refresh your summer with TikTok. Yeah. I'm Charlamagne Tha God.

[Andrew Schultz]

Andrew Schultz.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We are the Brilliant Idiots podcast. Hezekiah Walker.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hello, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How are you, brother?

[Andrew Schultz]

Bro, I'm good, man. Shout out to the goat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick Lamar.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no. Dochi, man. Dochi did her thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Big brochi.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, Shout out Dochi man. That's what I'm talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had Dochi. We had Dochi on Breakfast club back in 2022.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait, really? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Dolce. Like anybody with eyes could see that Dolce was gonna be up outta here. People sleep on. I was just having this conversation. Everybody got upset with me. Cause I said TDE is the greatest west coast record label of all time.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, is she with tde?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And everybody said, oh, no, it's Death Row. It's Death Row. The reality is Death row had a four year run from 1992 to 1996.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but culturally impactful to this day. 100%.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

100%. But if you want to combine longev with cultural impact in classic artist albums that have real artistic value, you gotta go TDE, come on. If you had to bet on a 20 year run versus a four year run, which one you pick?

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, yeah, you're making. This is why you're so good. You're making really compelling arguments.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And everybody said Tupac was. We gotta think about this, right? Tupac was a free agent signing. Tupac didn't come up in the Death Row camp. TDE homegrown, builds all their artists from the ground up, right? And everybody kept saying to me, well, they gave us Snoop and they gave us Tupac. They didn't really give you Tupac, they gave you Snoop.

[Andrew Schultz]

These combos are tough because.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And they weren't diverse. No diversity. It was all gangster rap.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, I get what you're saying. And you make radars. They're just tough because it feels like you're doing a disservice to one to congratulate the other.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no. But that's what we do.

[Andrew Schultz]

But that's why they're fantastic. This is. This is a really good but no, obviously I'm teasing. But shout out to Dochi. Man, she actually is a great tiny desk. Have you seen her?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of course.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's like, phenomenal. But also, shout out to Kendrick, obviously cleaning the fuck up at the Grammys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm actually, first of all, congratulations to Kendrick. Congratulations. Five for five. I thought he was gonna go four for five. Cause I don't know what the difference between record of the year and song of the year. I just looked at the category and I'm like, damn, Taylor Swift is in both of these. He's not gonna win both. That was more impressive.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, to beat Taylor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To beat Taylor, all of those white people and Beyonce in a category twice. That might have been more impressive than what he did to Drake.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Maybe with a diss record. And when they pan to the crowd and the whole crowd is singing a minor. Got Taylor Swift hitting the stinky leg. Got Taylor Swift with the broom. Taylor Swift got the broom out. Taylor Swift did like this sweep when Mustard was like, get the brooms out. Sweep. Somebody get the broom out. Get the broom out. Hey, Taylor started sweeping.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. Do you like the fact. Do you think Taylor likes the fact that she lost? Do you think she likes the fact that she got to give Beyonce album of the year? I feel like people had been creating this beef that didn't exist between the two of them. And I feel like Taylor's been very congratulatory of Beyonce.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They always support each other. Taylor shows up for her movie from me and beyond this, shows up for her movie.

[Andrew Schultz]

But it's what we do as human beings, right? We gotta, like, pit people against each other at the top. We need there to be one person wearing a crown. So it almost feels like she was. From the little things I saw, that she was, like, happy to see Beyonce win.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Taylor only presented that award. Cause Beyonce was going to. And the Grammy goes to Cowboy Carter. Beyonce. You think that. You think Taylor's team, when they say, yo, we want Taylor to present an award, and they. You don't think they tell her?

[Andrew Schultz]

She goes up there and it's not Beyonce?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly, no.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then every blog is like, she only took it because she wanted to give it to someone else, not Beyonce.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Serious question. Do you really think Taylor's just gonna give an award to any. You think they're gonna. Taylor Swift's team is gonna let her just give an award to anybody?

[Andrew Schultz]

So wait, are you telling me that they tell the artist who's gonna win.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Before I think they tell Taylor, I think they say, taylor, we want you to present this award because this is going to be very special.

[Andrew Schultz]

Or do you think Taylor's team asks if it's going to be Beyonce, and if it is, Taylor will present the award.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Maybe because Taylor. I mean, Taylor started off in country, so for her to present the Country Music Award makes sense. Right? But I think that it put extra icing on it for her for them to say, look, Beyonce gonna win this thing. You gonna want to present it to her.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, so one thing important. Like, obviously, the Grammys got it right, and there has been some criticism of the GR in the past for not getting it right. Okay, does anybody feel like they. Is there any conversation about them getting this wrong at all this year? I think it's pretty obvious with Kendrick. I don't think there's anybody. I don't think you could go any other direction but Kendrick. Especially with Not Like. Not Like Us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right, bro? Not Like Us. Lass Malone said this Not Like Us might be the biggest rap record of all time. It's about, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let me think about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His pacing. It's pacing there to be the biggest record, biggest rap record of all time. It's already great. The greatest diss record of all time. It really might be the greatest hip hop song all time.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know what's so tough to have these conversations is like, like, the nostalgia is so hard to take nostalgia out of it. Like, like what Ether meant to us as kids growing up in New York.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But not even close.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no, no. What I'm saying is, to us as kids in New York, the way that. That. The way that that rap beat felt, it felt like the biggest thing in the world.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was.

[Andrew Schultz]

I agree with you. Hip hop is at a much bigger level right now. Way more people are listening to hip hop. It is pop music, right? It is ubiquitous with Mute. Like, it's not this offset genre. It's global. But so. So. So while you're saying. What you're saying is objectively probably right, at the same time, there's this part of me that goes, oh, was it bigger than Ether? Yes. Wait.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Al. Do you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bigger than in the club? Yes. You consider hey Ya a rap song? Yes.

[C]

Ooh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not bigger than hey Ya. It's getting there, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was a diss record.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Andrew Schultz]

I dissed somebody with hey Ya.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The guy's name was Ya. We were diss recording him. Hey Ya. And all the verses were dissing him.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just Antagonizing the fuck out of him for no reason.

[Andrew Schultz]

I gotta.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I gotta. You didn't know that?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I didn't know that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a bigger song. What's a bigger song? Hey, yeah. You consider Hot In Here a rap song, bro? Not like I'm telling you, man. I'm not being a different things. I understand, but just not like hot is beyond. And I love Hey, y' all not not like us. I've seen some real wild shit with Hey, y' all. I've seen. I've been doing yoga before. Nobody will believe me if I tell this story. I ain't no need to tell it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, of all I've been doing yoga. Of all the things you said on this podcast, doing yoga is not the hardest to believe. Yeah, Turn into a werewolf. You say you could breathe underwater. And the second you say you do normal, all of a sudden it's the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whole thing with it. But I put it like I was doing yoga one time in Cabo and the white woman that was doing the yoga at the end, she was like, okay, I want y' all to move around. And she put on, hey, wow. And this is an old download. She was older.

[Andrew Schultz]

White woman, though, but that doesn't surprise me. Hey, y' all was that popular, but again, rap music or hip hop, I.

[C]

Think it's too early.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, what if I told you Andre was there and the white woman didn't even know it was Andre?

[Andrew Schultz]

I believe it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. She even know it was Andre. But we all know it's Ilga. I'm not saying this happened. I'm just saying.

[C]

But there's a lot of time Andre's walking around. He's walking around New York and people don't even recognize.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I mean. So AI is huge. Yeah. This was just two years ago, man. 4. 2. Nah. 20. 21. Hey, y' all's huge. But not like I'm gonna tell you why not like us is different than Hey, y' all because it's a mantra. Hey, y' all's not a mantra. Hey, y' all's a song. Not Like Us is something people say to, like, differentiate themselves from other motherfuckers. This shit is playing on the super bowl commercials. Not cause Kendrick is performing, but just because it's the soundtrack for the super bowl commercials. This was the Dodgers anthem when they won the World Series. This is going to be the California State model one day. Mark my words. You're going to be driving in California like then the license plate going to say Not Like Us. It's going to be the state model for California soon. This might, but it is right now. I mean, it's not officially, but it will be officially. This shit just won five Grammys, bro. That's unprecedented.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're very good at making arguments, I'm telling you. No, no, I, I, I'm trying to think of other thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can't.

[Andrew Schultz]

You have to remove your emotion. Like there, there are ways that lose Yourself. What's that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lose Yourself.

[Andrew Schultz]

Lose Yourself, yeah. Lose Yourself is pretty big, man. It's hard to Lose yourself big. It's an anthem.

[C]

Lose Yourself as an amp, I think Lose Yourself. Hot in Here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not Hot in here.

[C]

And Back that Ass Up. Few songs, put it in your mouth.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Classic. Back that Ass up is a negro spiritual. Love that record. Hot In Here. I don't put that on the level up. It's a pop record. Lose Yourself. Yeah. I don't put that on Lose Yourself and Not Like Us. I got Not Like Us over Lose Yourself, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you're forgetting, I think you're early on that. I think if we're still doing Not Like Us five years from now, we're still listening to it ten years from now, then we can put in Lose Yourself.

[C]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Charlemagne already made the point that these.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are just songs, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, what is Wayne? What does that mean? What does that mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This was a diss record. This is one of the biggest beefs ever rap.

[Andrew Schultz]

So, like, it makes it more okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now to add another point.

[Andrew Schultz]

Go, go, go, go, go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I not like us. We don't know if it's going to have. I think the hook is going to have legs. I think the hook and what the record means to, like the coast of California is going to have legs, but it's a diss record, so it might not have legs.

[Andrew Schultz]

So here. Yeah, here's the crazy thing. Like, all right. In order for it to blow to this level now, the beef was incredibly helpful. Obviously you're going at the biggest rapper alive, which was Drake. Now you could say is Kendrick, but the spirit, the emotion of the song, Not Like Us. Would it have more longevity if Drake wasn't ever mentioned? It wasn't about Drake and it was just about how unique the culture is of California. If it was a California spiritual, I don't think so. I know you need Drake in order for it to reach this height for now, but would it have more longevity if it wasn't about Drake?

[C]

I don't think it would have been as big of a song.

[Andrew Schultz]

If it was so, then you wouldn't have. Yeah, this is tricky.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, nothing unifies people like a good jumping. When you lynch a motherfucker, you know how your people use those? Y' all come together.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Look at him be ready. We got three in the chamber right now. From here. Nothing brings people together like a fight.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nothing like a fight. Yeah, like a fight. But a lynching, I think is. That's fucked up. I don't think white people are getting excited for a lynching, bro.

[C]

Oh, what are you talking about?

[Andrew Schultz]

You think? Hell, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exciting for it.

[Andrew Schultz]

No way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We sat back and watched kids used to come outside.

[Andrew Schultz]

The kids would come outside for it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Drake walked. Drake walked out at his recent show in Australia with a sweater on that had bullet holes in it and smoke coming out the back. I hated that shit so much.

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you think?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm playing victory?

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you think that meant? What do you think that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That he's got a bunch of people taking a bunch of shots at him, but he's still alive. He's not dead. It's like, bro, why him?

[Andrew Schultz]

And how many. How many shots were in it? How many?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A lot. I don't know. A lot. Him and J. Cole act like they didn't start this.

[C]

Drake ain't started.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They both started.

[C]

How?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, we started it. Technically.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, technically, we started it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick and Drake have been throwing subliminals at each other for years, and we ended it. But we're not gonna act like.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm just saying we started the beef and we.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're not gonna act like on first person shooter, J. Cole said something about the big three. What was the line? It was something about the big three. But he said, I'm feeling like Muhammad Ali. Yeah. Love when they argue the hardest mc. Is it K, Dad? Is it?

[Andrew Schultz]

Aubrey and me, we the biggest three.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, we started a league, but right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now I feel like Muhammad Ali.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, so you the greatest. Then Drake goes, who the goat? Who the goat? Who the goat? Who the goat? Who the goat? Who the goat? Who the goat? So Kendra goes, oh, motherfuck. The big three, it's just big me. Cause it's about. Supposed to be competition, Mother. The big three, it's just big me. And so then when euphoria comes out, Kendrick save. It's a friendly fave. We can keep it that way. So. But we're not gonna act like those two didn't start it on first person shooters.

[C]

That's not starting it by saying you're the Goat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's a competition. It's a competition.

[C]

Yeah, but that's not starting to beef.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you say something about a big three and you say, I'm Muhammad Ali, you're saying, you the heavyweight champion of the world. You're saying, you the goat. Kendrick is like, nah, I am.

[C]

All he's saying is, I'm better than you. That's not challenge. That's a challenge.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on, hold on. You telling me in hip hop you're not allowed to say you're the best?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You should. And Kendrick is allowed to respond. And all of them are allowed to compete is what I'm saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but there's competition, then there's beef. I think every rapper's allowed to. Yo, I'm the nicest, but it's when you take it to fuck you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick really wanted to engage. They flirted with engaging. On First Person Shooter, if you say something about the big screen, you say, I'm feeling like Muhammad Ali. What is that saying, Schultz? You the heavyweight champion of the world. You're the greatest of all time. So I want to challenge you for that throne. Then when you, Drake, and you say, I'm the goat. I'm the goat. I'm the goat. I'm Kendrick. Okay, I want to challenge that. Then what's up?

[C]

Who.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who fired the first personal shot for his personal.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's Kendrick. That's who started it. Nah, first personal shot is who started saying, you're the best. Say again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was Drake and J. Cole, but I feel like it was more Drake than Jake.

[Andrew Schultz]

But was there a personal shot? Did Drake say something personal about Kendrick?

[C]

Technically is Cole. Yeah, Cole started. Cole started, not Drake. Don't put both.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drake was on that record saying who to go.

[C]

No, no, I'm talking about the first diss track was Cole.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[C]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, did that come out before push ups?

[C]

No, it's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Cole came out for a push up.

[C]

It's like, fuck the big three. It's just big me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So Cole caused all this commotion and then went home on his bike.

[C]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's fucked up. Yo. Cole caused all his commotion.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cole need to apologize.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, and think about it. Drake said, who's the goat on that record? First Person shooter. Yeah, Kendrick, Anson. That's all this was. I think it was more Drake than Cole, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

I like Cole and Kendrick are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just don't like how everybody uses, like, everybody his light that started it. No, First Person shooter got the ball rolling on where we currently are. And now we got the. We Going to watch Kendrick at the super bowl on Sunday.

[Andrew Schultz]

He got to do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's got to do it.

[Andrew Schultz]

He got to do the song. Especially after doing it. The Grammys and the whole crowd sung it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now, you know you could do that. The Grammys gave him the permission slip. It's like we're doing this in front of the world. The world seemed pretty good about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he introduces the Not Like Us remix Sunday. You think it's gonna be a remake.

[C]

Charlie, you still think he's not gonna say? He just said it at the Grammys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he's going. Well, Schultz just said just now.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait, what. What did he say to the Grammys?

[C]

No, he didn't. He perform something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he's going to do a Not Like Us remix.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, they didn't. Wait, they didn't perform it. They. It was playing when he walked up to the stage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, oh. And then.

[C]

Okay, okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

But they. They used it very simp. Part of the song.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he's going to do a Not Like Us remix. That's a old. The California. And I think that's. It's going to be like, TDE artists, like the black hippies and probably a couple other west coast artists.

[C]

Well, that's going to be a mistake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why? Because if he does that, then he does what Andrew is talking about. He gives the record longevity, like super legs.

[C]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now it's to change the meaning of it. That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's more about you and not about this dude. And that is the one tricky thing with a Beef song. It's like the Beef song is really a feature. It's about that other guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whereas a song about you, your culture, your people, whatever message you want to get through is always going to only be about you forever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, Not Like Us is about the west coast, but in. In meaning more and feeling more than it is. Yeah, but the power content.

[Andrew Schultz]

The power of that song is like, if you're not from the west coast, you still can relate to the theme of they not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They not like us. That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

We're different. We're special, and they're not like us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[C]

Yeah, but the only thing I'm saying, it would be a mistake to do that at the super bowl because it's like, we want what we know. They don't want to hear you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want to drop a new.

[Andrew Schultz]

Song in the Super Bowl.

[C]

That's like, when they do it like a music medley, a mashup.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, nobody would give a.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[C]

They would want to sing along.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't like going to see a musician perform his new. Yeah, like, I practice the words.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why do we lie to each other?

[Andrew Schultz]

I want to go and sing the words with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what we love?

[Andrew Schultz]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chaos, bro. We are in a society that is literally about. It is literally about engagement through enragement. So as long as people are in some type of enragement, even if y' all mad, they. Oh, man, fuck that. He didn't do nothing like us. Why would he remix it? It's still a win. It's a Super Bowl. 100 million people fucking watching. Everybody's gonna be chatting. They'll chat more about that than they would if you just did it regular.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, I don't know if it's more. I don't know if it's more.

[C]

Everybody's waiting for him to say the A minor line.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that pedophile.

[C]

Everybody's waiting for that.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't even got to say pedophile. You could say A minor because it's double entendre.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

You could get away with it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So he could say that line. And if he doesn't say it. Yeah, now you got to say it. You got to say it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? You know he was wearing a Canadian tuxedo. Did you hear that?

[Andrew Schultz]

Y' all read into everything, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it is, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is okay whether he did it on purpose or not, that is a Canadian tuxedo.

[Andrew Schultz]

But, like, why is that a shot at Drake to wear the Canadian outfit? And why take a shot at Canada? Like you still want to perform in Canada?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Canada gonna love him regardless. The same way where he wore the Nikes when he performed that Pop up show. What happened now? He had Nikes on at the Pop up show. What's wrong with that? Because is it Drake with Nike or something like that?

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, the Nike Cortez is an iconic. That's what people are saying. But that's the thing is, like, people say, like, I. And I give him credit for this. He's like. He doesn't say a lot. So he allows the audience to infer. Yeah, it is. And when you do that and there's clicks and excitement in explaining the bars, you start to really search for the explanations of everything he does.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because once again, you just keep everybody talking. That's the world we live in. This world is about chaos. Chatting.

[Andrew Schultz]

I like enragement.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like that term, engagement through enragement.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all it is everybody tries to get you enraged about something, tries to get you mad about something just to keep you engaged. There's another Gemini that does that. You know what his name is? Donald J. Trump. Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's cooking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He cooking something. I don't know what the fuck he cooking. I don't know how this shit gonna taste at the end.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know what he's doing, but I know he's cooking. You guys came in here hot. You guys came in here hot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just think that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, what's he doing? Fill me in. Cause I haven't been paying attention.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's too much. Like, what is he not doing?

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, I haven't been paying attention.

[C]

He's worried about Taylor.

[Andrew Schultz]

Taylor's gonna be a mom.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Here's the thing that's so interesting. This is the thing. I think everybody's.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't ever want to give you a little sh. Man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm talking about this on the Daily show this week. What happened?

[Andrew Schultz]

You want to give Mama Taylor a little shine?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you keep calling her mama?

[Andrew Schultz]

Because she's Mama Taylor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think so? Oh, my God. I saw the line. I saw the pregnancy line, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's the pregnancy line?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you get the little line in her stomach. It doesn't start right there. Why your shit was here. It started and so. And so she was like, I had that since I was a kid. I was like, oh, the baby. Ben had a baby.

[Andrew Schultz]

You been had a baby? Baby. Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something's wrong with Taylor? Pregnant, allegedly.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, we were almost there. I know we were right there. He just doesn't want to give it to. I'm not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got. I got to drop the pictures. The only thing I but to. I just think Elon Musk has too much power, bro. Elon Musk literally controls how the government pays people right now. He's not an elected official. ABC News has learned Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, has now moved beds into the executive office building next to the White House, allowing Musk.

[C]

And his staff to sleep there when working late.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His staff reportedly includes people as young as 19 years old. President Trump insists they're qualified. They're very smart people. Trump also praising Musk for dismantling usaid, an agency that funds international relief efforts. It's a disaster. USAID staff getting this email that all direct hires will be put on administrative.

[C]

Leave with pay, except for certain staffers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Serving mission critical functions. Democrats held a rally outside the Treasury Department to protest Musk's influence.

[Andrew Schultz]

We are at war. We have Got to tell Elon Musk nobody elected your nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go to. You can get all of our private information. We don't pledge allegiance to Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America.

[C]

Musk has also faced scrutiny after getting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A hold of the Treasury Department's payment.

[C]

System which disperses 90% of all federal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Payments, including Social Security and Medicare. The Treasury Department insisting Musk's team has been granted read only access, suggesting no changes will be made without higher authority. That's not right. Like, you should not be in control of whether or not this old person gets their Social Security checks. You should not be in charge of whether or not this old woman can go into pharmacy with her Rx card and fucking buy her meds. No.

[Andrew Schultz]

Is he doing that? Is he removing people's health care?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. That's what that whole federal freeze was about a week ago, which fucking damn near sent the country into a fucking frenzy. Most of these companies cannot, you know, foot of payroll for 30 days.

[Andrew Schultz]

Bro, bro, I gotta be honest with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You have no idea what's going on.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't want to learn about all this. I don't even want to learn about it. Like I and yeah, I just don't want to learn about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How Elon Musk deputies took over the government's most basic functions. Elon's the secret government it takeover.

[Andrew Schultz]

Elon just tweet out not like us and ain't gonna be happy and everything will be fine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I listen, here's the thing, Elon. I don't want to put that prediction out. I'm a hold with that one.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a good one.

[C]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All I'm going to say is there can only be one. All right? There can only be one. That's what Kendrick showed us. Right? Kendrick showed us that there can only be one. Let's always remember that. And Kendrick's a Gemini and Donald J. Trump was a Gemini.

[Andrew Schultz]

Are you telling me that a white guy and an African are going to beef again and it's going to be the same? Is that what you're saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just letting you know.

[Andrew Schultz]

You saying you don't think Trump is going to like the amount of power that Elon has?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm letting you know that can only be one. I don't know if it's going to be soon or later, but it's going to be.

[Andrew Schultz]

So you think Trump fires Elon, fires him, sends him back? You think he sends him back? That rocket to Mars is really going to kill you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just Think Elon Musk. You know, I should just watch it back, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

I thought we were going to talk about Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I thought about that. Every white person in my life trying to tell me about that. And I'm like, I don't give a. I feel like that about the way you feel about. Yo. I don't give a. About that.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I know you don't give a. You get. It's not there yet. But black people are going to start caring soon. But it's. It's not there yet. I know. White guys just started caring this week.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My business partner is a caring.

[Andrew Schultz]

Say again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My business partner is actual Karen.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She has been trying to tell me this story for at least a month, bro. I'm like, I don't care.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't care because you don't know what's going on. The second you find out what's going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On, she keeps trying to bring Ryan Reynolds in it because, you know, I like Deadpool and shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, he tried to bring himself in.

[C]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, this shit is crazy.

[C]

There's a character in Deadpool that's supposed to be Baldoni. Like, this shit gets crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not like some Kendrick shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, that's not like some Canadian.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no. It is. This shit. This story is fascinating, but I wish. I mean, Al knows a lot about it, so you could break down Al.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[C]

It's too much.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's so deep. But the reason why dudes are starting to care about it is because on the surface, and again, I don't know much about it, but on the surface, it's starting to look like Blake Lively and Ryan. What's his name, Ryan Reynolds were trying to swindle Baldoni out of the rights to this film and any sequels or anything. And they looks like they were using the sexual harassment of women as a device to get him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You telling me that somebody weaponized sexual assault or rape against someone?

[C]

Really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait a minute.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now, wait a minute.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That happens.

[C]

But we got the receipts.

[Andrew Schultz]

But. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But my man Baldoni saw it coming, so he started video. He started copying every single text recording, every single audio recording, everything. So every allegation that they started to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Throw out there, they're hitting him back.

[Andrew Schultz]

He puts out the video.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Should they go in this scene? It was incredibly uncomfortable. He was doing all these things that made me feel real weird. He puts out the scene, and Shorty's like, mm, you smell good. Da, da, da. Like, kind of like giving him some rhythm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I told one of my people that the other day. I was like, look, what he's doing is a good strategy, but he hasn't got the right headline yet.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, so now you know about the story.

[C]

I'm not even.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, you see? You see? You see? I just told y' all that every white person I know has been trying to tell me this story. And I'm listening. I'm offering. What I said about him was, all.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right, what's the headline? What does he need?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He needs the right headline. He needs a headline that says, how many lies is Blake Lively going to tell? Like, he needs a major outlet to say, how many lies is Blake Lively going to get caught up in? That's what he needs. He don't have one of those yet. Look at these. Pull up Google Blake Lively right now. Cuz everything. Everything you're saying is true. He's putting out all of these things, rebutting everything she says. But where's it at? Blake Lively facing strict measures is Justin Baldoni. Legal drama threaten something. Blake Lively sued for allegedly causing Pierre and firm millions of dollars. Blake Lively. Justin Baldoni. Ward escalates with new defamation lawsuit. No, you need a headline that says, blake, how many lies is Blake Lively going to get caught telling?

[Andrew Schultz]

Justin, I think you just got your headline. No, because someone's clipping this and they putting it out 100%.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you have something rebutting everything she said, how many lies is Blake Lively going to get caught telling?

[Andrew Schultz]

Now, listen, I know nothing about this, so all this shit could be wrong, but on the surface, keep in mind, this movie that they made, the $25 million budget did $350 million.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the movie?

[Andrew Schultz]

It ends with us. It's based on this book by her name is Colleen Hoover Legend. So he got the rights to the prequel. I think he might even have rights to other stuff. There is one clause in his purchase of the rights, and that is if he does something that breaks a moral morality clause, he could lose the rights to it. You know what would break a morality clause? Sexual harassment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now we got something interesting here. Now it looks like a money play again. This is. Looks like. I'm sure they got something on their side too. But if they drop the lawsuit and they end up paying him, I mean, look, this is like devastating effects on Reynolds career. Blake's. I don't even know what her career is really, but Reynolds, like Nah, Reynolds is a fucking billionaire.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, Ryan's good, bro. Ryan's good.

[C]

This is gonna add some stink to it, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody. I mean, listen, man. I'm about to say nobody really cares.

[Andrew Schultz]

They weaponize. Allegedly. The New York Times.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ye.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no. This is where it gets crazy. The New York Times. Break that shit down.

[C]

So the day after the loss, the lawsuit came out from Blake Lively and.

[Andrew Schultz]

Ryan Reynolds to Baldoni.

[C]

New York Times put out a hit piece on Baldoni, and then people looked at the metadata of text messages and the pictures, and they had those, like, weeks in advance.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, so they knew Blake Lively wasn't telling the truth?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no. Like, they were working on the hit piece and timed the release of it perfectly to when the laws.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, so Blake Lively, somebody let them know that something big was coming about. Baldoni, get ready.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now it looks like you're weaponizing the New York Times to put some gas on this lawsuit, to really put some pressure on him. Little did they know, Baldoni got a billion dollar. A billionaire backer who was like, nah, you're not about to fuck my boy like this. Let's go. Let's dance. So when you got a guy who don't really got a lot of money going up against these people who are not only of industry, but also very wealthy, you're screwed. You got to bow out. Yeah, but the billionaire was like, now we're going to fight this fight. So now Blake and Ryan are like, oh, shit. We thought we could shake him up and scare him and basically say that he was a me too guy, even though he's, like, this big, like, male feminist. We'll call him a me too guy. He's going to bow out. He's going to be pussy. There's no way he wants to fight. Motherfucker resumed them for, like, $250 million and sued New York Times.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Marvel might be cursed, bro.

[C]

Yeah, no, this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This new phase of the Marvel universe.

[C]

And there's really a Deadpool character, you remember? Nice pool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's.

[C]

That's supposed to be Baldoni. And he's, like, making fun of him in the.

[Andrew Schultz]

Which you should be allowed to make fun of people. I'm okay with that.

[C]

But it's during. While they're having all this conflict, and he's, like, alluding to lines like, oh, there should be. What's it called? Intimacy coach. And like that. Like, he's alluding to stuff. Oh, problems that's happening currently during.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is up.

[C]

Man Is crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, we're not gonna sit here and act like this hasn't been weaponized. You know, they haven't been weaponized in sexual assault and raping. And they've done it in every industry.

[Andrew Schultz]

Ye. And not everybody got a billionaire friend who's willing to throw money down.

[C]

That's the thing. We all know it's happening, but usually it doesn't get exposed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's crazy is we all know what's happening. And we watch. We look at it like Brett Kavanaugh gets on the Supreme Court. Oh, he raped a girl in college. Joe Biden, President of the United States of America. Oh, here come Donald Trump. Reagan. Donald Trump. Like, all. Like I'm saying, like, they do this so much. Like, they always weaponize Harvey Weinstein. It's like, no, I don't know about that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whenever it's successful, people that too crazy. R. Kelly. It's like they keep bringing this straight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, guys.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay. Give me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some by any means. Taylor.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm sorry, Justin. We were cooking right there, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Justin, you know the headline you need? How many lies is Blake Lively going to get on telling? Because that thing that y' all talking about with all the rebuttals that he's doing, I haven't seen that in the headlines yet. I only know that because I got people trying to keep me abreast of this story every day. And I don't care.

[C]

He put a website. I was like 40 pages of just all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I said, who will read that shit? I literally said that.

[Andrew Schultz]

I ain't going to read it. I'm away for Candace to organize all the data, and I'm a watch her show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see what I'm saying? Nobody's going to read that shit, yo. Nobody.

[Andrew Schultz]

I knew it was popping because I had. Whenever I hear multiple generations of people tell me about a story, I know the story is really percolated. So my mom is 70 fucking 6 years old or 77 years old. She broke the whole shit down to me. Al is telling it. My wife is telling. It's like all these different people are bringing this story to me. I'm like, ok, wow, this is hit. This is hit. The zeitgeist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It ain't hot, though. Y' all need to see. White people need a white Twitter, bro. Y' all need, like, black Twitter would have had this shit. This would have been black Twitter would have had this shit smoking weeks ago.

[Andrew Schultz]

Baldoni gotta say he's Sicilian. Baldoni gotta be like, yo, I'm actually African. My DNA is African. You know, Hannibal made it over there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With the elephant don't know. Black people care about this shit. That's funny.

[Andrew Schultz]

How do you get black people to care?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don' No, I really don't. Because this story is a story story.

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You gotta have a black character in it. You gotta have a black. All you need is one.

[C]

But this is why I was telling. You should cover that. Bring this to Breakfast Club.

[Andrew Schultz]

Biggest story now. You need. You need the lawyer. You need Baldoni's lawyer on Breakfast Club. That shit would blow this.

[C]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what Blake should do?

[C]

Taylor's involved.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All Blake gotta say is Baldoni went to diddy parties and back up.

[C]

Oh, his. His history is squeaky clean.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he's like a male feminist, clean feminine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This was a diddy party.

[C]

No, I'm telling you, he's squeaky clean. And like, actually might be legit squeaky clean. Not like no such thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I put handcuffs on people like that. Yo, I don't trust motherfucker like that. You ain't got nothing. No, I don't believe that. I don't believe that. Put a hand.

[Andrew Schultz]

I will say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lock that up.

[Andrew Schultz]

It is. I will say it is peculiar that you would start recording everything again. Like, why are you recording everything? Something must have transpired where you felt threatened. And you're like, I need to make sure I have all the evidence that can support me. Because he recorded every voice memo, every call. I think you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Voice memo. Play the voice moment. Then you can judge them based on.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, oh, Chris, you in on it. See, that's what I kill. Ain't nobody care about politics right now, bro. It's Baldoni versus Reynolds and Blake, y' all.

[C]

This shit is fire.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know.

[C]

I've been on the phone talking to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People, telling them what he should be doing.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is the real Drake. This is white people's Drake and Kendrick.

[C]

Yes. Yes and no.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, it is white people's Drake and Kendrick.

[C]

It's that level.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is what we're worried about right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drake is white people's Drake and Kendrick. What are you talking about?

[Andrew Schultz]

Let me hear it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is when he was talking to Blake lively.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a 2am voicemail to Blake Lively.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Justin Baldoni left me at 2am voicemail with that voice. My man wouldn't be thrilled either.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, play.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's so much I want to say to you, and I hope that we can FaceTime or see each other in person soon and get to talk more. But I'm just going to send you a few thoughts and hopefully it's not Going to be more than a few minutes, but that I don't have the best track record. I don't think either one of us have the best track record for our voice memos. I want to start with an apology, man. I reading the second part of your message. My heart sank and I'm really sorry for what I for sure.

[C]

So context. This is after Blake invites him to her house because she says she has a rewrite for a scene in the movie. He's like, he's like, oh, it's good. But he's like, you know, maybe we'll use some pieces of it, but maybe not. She feels super offended. Out of nowhere, all of a sudden, Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds comes and they're like, yo, did you read her her rewrite? It's genius. It's going to change the whole movie. Like they're like trying to strong arm and pressure. So then he leaves and he's like, hey, I really actually liked your work, but it's like, you didn't have to bring these. A list is here to strong on me. So then she writes back with this long ass email saying like, oh my God, no one has ever taken me serious. This is what women have to deal with in this industry.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no, no, no, no. It gets. They start leveraging Taylor.

[C]

Yeah. So then she finishes the email with like, I just want you to know, like, I'm Khaleesi and I have my dragons. Whether these dragons are for good or for bad, hopefully these dragons can help you do good as well.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[C]

So then that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all, he's a maniac to leave a six minute voicemail.

[C]

We'll continue, but that's where this voicemail comes from.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gotcha.

[C]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you worked really hard on that and, and the way you framed it and.

[Andrew Schultz]

And how that made you feel. And I just want to say thank you for sharing that with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That takes a lot of trust and vulnerability and I just, I feel really.

[Andrew Schultz]

Grateful that you feel safe enough to tell me that that's how you feel and share that with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm really sorry. I up.

[Andrew Schultz]

That is a fail on my part. One thing you should know about me is I will admit and apologize when I fail. I am far from perfect. I am a very flawed man, as my wife will attest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you sound guilty. I don't know what the fuck you sound guilty of. You sound guilty.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'll be honest with you, the second that voicemail started, I was like, that motherfucker's a serial killer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He sounds free.

[Andrew Schultz]

Deadpool. Freeze, Blake. Freeze Deadpool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So where's the voicemails from Blake?

[Andrew Schultz]

It's in his voicemail.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where's the voicemails from Blake?

[C]

Nah, hers was all written, but they released it.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're releasing everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's why he losing. That's why he's losing. That's why he's losing in the media. Because he got shit that sound like this and then he got shit he want us to read. Yeah, not read.

[Andrew Schultz]

We're not reading.

[C]

No, I'm edit that shit on TikTok. Everyone is again.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's 100% in support of him. Yeah. Zero in support of Blake. And it's. You've never seen a cult because he's the undergar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is because he's.

[C]

It's because every single thing Blake accused him of, he's has proof to rebuttal it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Every. She accused him of breaking into her trailer while she was breastfeeding. And then he goes, what? And drops the text message exchange. And she was like. He was like, hey, can I come talk to you about the scene now? She's like, yeah, sure, I'm just pumping, but just come in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Free Justin Dees telling you, Free Valdoni.

[Andrew Schultz]

Lock up Deadpool, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Justin Deeds. No, don't lock up Deadpool.

[C]

No, no, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't lock up Deadpool.

[C]

No lady pool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have no problem.

[Andrew Schultz]

Recast Deadpool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Recast lady pool. Listen, what does Ryan have to do with this?

[Andrew Schultz]

Ryan's married to Blake and Ryan. So Ryan came.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, you didn't know this? I didn't know that. I don't know why I'm just keeping this together right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

So check it. So at one point, I guess the movie got shut or something like that. And I think Ryan makes this move to get the rights of the movie and he's like, I'd love to buy it or something like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[C]

Because in the beginning. So Deadpool and this movie are slated to film at the same time.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[C]

So Ryan kind of brings Baldoni to the side and be like, yo, is there any way you could push the recording back like two weeks? I haven't been away from my wife for this long. And the guy's like, we really can't. And I think Ryan was just like upset, like, like, you're not gonna bow down and do what I'm saying. So then when the strike happened, Ryan kind of strong armed and like, hey, she's feeling uncomfortable. We're gonna go to the Times with this. Or you can sell me the rights.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To the movie and what is. This is a crazy threat, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's from Blake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons, for better or worse. But usually for better, because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will, too. I can promise you. Yeah, that's a wild bro.

[C]

And now Brian, innocent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's just a husband. He's just a husband.

[C]

He's a little jealous.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what I thought.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You just a husband. You're doing what your wife asking you to do.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but do you think a woman is smart enough to orchestrate on this guy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up. I think that. I don't think you have to be smart.

[Andrew Schultz]

Fuck your shit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This don't sound.

[Andrew Schultz]

Fuck your shit up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This don't sound.

[Andrew Schultz]

Fuck your shit up. This shit sound like Mint Mobile.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, this don't sound.

[Andrew Schultz]

This shit sound like aviation jets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Use Game of Game of Thrones analogies. Bro, that's.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no, she didn't. Oh, she wrote that text.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I'm saying. Like, that's not smart.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like I'm saying, orchestrating this whole hostile takeover.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but that's why she getting jammed up, because she's not even smart enough to realize, damn, I sent text messages saying, obvious she didn't know that he was. Was keeping all that shit. But even if you send a text message, you got to know it's still there.

[Andrew Schultz]

So you agree she's not smart? Smart.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's not smart. Not because she. She's not smart because she's not a woman. She just don't seem smart because she's not smart.

[C]

But Ryan, he's good. He's good, he's good.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's good. I try to catch him up and catch him, but it just never seems to work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ryan's sitting around, like, now, like, what.

[Andrew Schultz]

The did you get me into?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now, wait for it. Taylor is the. I love gossiping. Taylor is the godmother of one of their kids or a couple of their kids. She's, like, best friends with.

[C]

They've been. They've been friends for 10 years.

[Andrew Schultz]

10 years. Apparently, Taylor and her team have now distanced. Apparently this is. Have now distanced themselves from Blake because when they.

[C]

When they saw that message, they're like, oh, I feel like I'm being used. I don't want anything to do with this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I saw that shit at the award show. One of them Tried to approach her, and Taylor did some shit like this. And when she did that, security just. It was like a smack signal or some shit. That shit was crazy.

[C]

What are you talking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You didn't see that shit?

[C]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Blake tried to approach her at the Grammys, and Taylor did like this. And when she did like that, security just knew exactly what to do.

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you. Like, she heard with this look. Oh, get that Taylor. Yo, get.

[C]

Oh, what it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, Taylor got a little something, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cut it out.

[Andrew Schultz]

Taylor got a little something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God bless.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no. With all due respect. With all due respect, you. You see it though, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no.

[C]

With all that. Buddy, you can't just hire like, some choreographed to teach her how to date.

[Andrew Schultz]

You wouldn't be able to tell on that time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know why Taylor wins? Cause she white. And she's unapologetically white.

[C]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She ain't out there trying to be like Miley looking like she got rhythm. She like. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

Oh, that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That leg looks stank.

[Andrew Schultz]

That stank.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a real stank leg right there. That's a stank leg.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, that leg.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All y' all legs look too clean. That's a stanky leg.

[Andrew Schultz]

She likes to cook out with that right, right there. No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Season chicken.

[Andrew Schultz]

Look how stanky that leg is right there, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go ahead, Trav. You think Travis gonna propose to her? Yo, we sound like some.

[Andrew Schultz]

I know, I know. Son is holding. Son Girl dad. Girl dad. Yo, it's girl dad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, we are ready.

[Andrew Schultz]

We are ready for our daughters to.

[C]

Be this whole weekend watching this shit outside.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nope. Where's the guy from Bravo? What's his name?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His Charlie? Andy Cohen.

[Andrew Schultz]

Andy Cohen. Come on, brilliant idiots and break this shit down. Bring your ass. Bring your ass. Bring your ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't threaten Andy with a good time, Andy. Back that ass up here.

[Andrew Schultz]

I want to see how fake it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, do you think Travis is going to propose to her?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, I love you, bro. I love you. Nah, nah, I love you. Because we just needed to get in comfy enough. And now let's talk about what we really want to talk about. Right? Which is. Is he comfy? Propose at Super Bowl?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Travis gonna propose.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, what if somebody concusses him and he forgets he was supposed to do that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn. Listen, you can't propose if you lose, though. I thought. You cannot propose if you lose. You gotta win. Yeah, you gotta win. That shit would look so. First of all, you're not even gonna get the stage if you don't win.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, you don't wanna propose on the sideline with other teams. Confetti.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. You have to win.

[C]

But you could steal the thunder away from the winning team.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, nobody worried about that proposal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is gonna be the first Super Bowl. Not the first, but this is gonna be, like, one of the first that when the game is over, the game is going to be, like, the fourth or fifth thing everybody's talking about. And it's probably going to be an amazing game because you're going to have motherfucking Kendrick Lamar perform at the Super Bowl. All the Taylor Swift cutaways. If Travis motherfucking. If the Chiefs win and Travis proposes to Taylor right there and then retires. Right?

[Andrew Schultz]

Ooh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, man. Where the fuck is the game? Trump. And Trump's gonna be there.

[Andrew Schultz]

Is he gonna be there?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Yo, how Trump's gonna be in the fucking.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can I be honest with you? How could you. How could you not do cutaways to Taylor? When you see that stank. When you see that stank. If you are the director of the super bowl and you could cut to the action, you could cut to the tackle, you could replay one of the greatest passes in catches in history, or you could see her getting stanky.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That stank. Yeah, that was stank.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cause you remembered it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I saw when she did it. And the security came over and tackled Blake Lively.

[Andrew Schultz]

I did. Because Blake was like, can I get some of that? She's like, nah, God damn. This stank's for one person only.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And the crazy part is she brought her arm into it like.

[Andrew Schultz]

Candy. Sweet. Good. Let's go. Let me see you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She didn't even do the other leg. Look, one leg action. Look, the other leg.

[Andrew Schultz]

If the other leg.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Watch this. No, one leg.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but if the other leg did it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's due to Brown.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's due to Brown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She didn't even do the other leg. All right, Travis.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now we get it. Now. We get it now. We always got it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think so?

[Andrew Schultz]

You guys get it now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Does Travis take the last name Swift?

[Andrew Schultz]

Say again?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Does Travis take the last name Swift?

[Andrew Schultz]

Man, get out of here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because Taylor Swift. Kelsey. Ain't gonna hit Taylor Swift.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's gonna be Travis Kelsey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Travis Swift is kind of fire, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, you can't take your wife's name, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on. Why not? Why not? Travis Swift.

[Andrew Schultz]

Take your wife, Travis, out of here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, man, he better retire. Watch if you do. You can't after Sunday.

[Andrew Schultz]

That shit is embarrassing. What do you tell your kids?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What, that your mom is the biggest motherfucking star in the world. So I took her last name. And then you show them that video and says, son, when you find some stink legs like this, you gonna take her last name, too. God damn it.

[Andrew Schultz]

That shit smells through the screen. That shit smells through the screen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sniff it.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's a fragrance I ain't gonna front, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I saw some black dudes losing it, man. Some. There was some pro black people out there saw that, right? There was some pro black people who was like, God, going crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're going crazy. Like, that's not the thing they've always loved. Yo. What? Yo, yo, yo. That was my favorite.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was shocked. I was kind of shocked. I'm like, God damn.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, wait a minute.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stanley got people thinking out loud. You can't be thinking out loud on social media.

[Andrew Schultz]

But that's what a stank look like that does.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't be thinking out loud on social media. There was people in Dr. Umar comments like, Dr. Umar, I need to talk to you.

[Andrew Schultz]

I need your help. I need your help. Cleanse me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Black queens forever. Snow bunnies never. I said black queens forever.

[C]

Snow bunnies never.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said black queens forever. Snow bunnies never. That snow bunny crisis is real. Let's pay some bills and come back and do some. By any means. God damn.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, Taylor got it, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God, you didn't know she had the.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hip action like that. A lot of y' all slept on it, but look at that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, that ain't no hip action. That's just the way she fucking tooting it out.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's. That's hip action, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's not, because I thought she got his hips.

[Andrew Schultz]

What? No, ain't nothing but hips. Nah, you guys are really hating right now. That's an incredibly beautiful, talented, smart woman, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She got a shoulder bone on her waist. What are you talking about? Like, no disrespect, Travis. I'm just saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, with all due respect, you have to know that we're not mature enough to have this conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're not mature enough to have.

[Andrew Schultz]

We are not mature enough to have this conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, Van tweeted.

[Andrew Schultz]

What if Van tweet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Van tweeted. I'm disgusted with myself. Van smelled that stank.

[Andrew Schultz]

He did sound like he smelled that stank. Yo, yo, sometimes stank, sometimes stank can make you honest, bro. That's the problem. Sometimes stank brings out your honesty. When you see some stank like that, the truth comes out with the stank, don't it? Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Van turned into Michael Rappaport's character in higher learning. He turned into Ravanpauce character and high alert when he saw that picture. God damn. Jesus Christ.

[Andrew Schultz]

He didn't need to tweet it bro. He didn't need to tweet it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He couldn't help it.

Sometimes you can't help it bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tweeting out loud. He couldn't help it man. Sorry.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give it a [e-mail] switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes if network's busy, taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com you got any church announcements Show Tay?

[Andrew Schultz]

No sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Andrew Schultz]

Real quick. Have you ever heard of a term gumping? Have you heard of that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Andrew Schultz]

Taylor, can you play that video just so we can learn about this new term gumping? I need you to watch this video. I need audio, and I needed to start from the beginning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. I see a number. It says, God, 216438, priest.

[Andrew Schultz]

Father Wobby, I. I need to confess a sin. Father. I worked at a grocery store in my teenage years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I won't get specific.

[Andrew Schultz]

There was this one girl. Are you familiar with the term gumping it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Father Webby is not familiar with the term gumping it.

[Andrew Schultz]

So gumping it is when someone is not quite. But they're, like, just on that line. So while it's an ethical conundrum, it's not a person. If you were to sleep with me, this will come important later in the story. She worked in the bakery. And to cut to the chase, because I've already taken a minute of your.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Time, Father, you're good. I fucked her ass in the freezer. This is Father.

[Andrew Schultz]

We.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gotta let a legend be a legend, yo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Listen, have you ever gumped it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I've never gumped. Not that I know of. I'm probably. I'm sure I probably gumped on the spectrum, but I never, like.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, on the spectrum is normal, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I never went full gump.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't. No, no, no. Gumping it is. They're not fully. But it's close to the far.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

As far as gump.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, exactly. But gumping it is like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've gumped on the spectrum. I ain't never went full gump. What's full gump, though?

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, full gump is not full gump.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Full full gump is. You don't even know if you're doing a good job. Cause they always moaning. I'm just saying. I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I think good ego boost for you. Amazing ego.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amazing ego.

[Andrew Schultz]

She loving this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She loving it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Fantastic point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? I don't see the problem, you guys. What?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, nah. He's making great point. Nobody loves sex like a gump.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody loves gump. Nobody make you feel like a man. Like a gump.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hell, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[C]

I wouldn't know. Sorry.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, you would, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ever made a woman go gump?

[Andrew Schultz]

You ever? Come on, have you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Pull that shit out. She just goes, ice cream. My girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, that was two different trains of thought that I just said. I wasn't when I said, you know who loves trains? Listen, I don't see the problem.

[Andrew Schultz]

Taylor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What we got. Give me somebody. Any memes necessary, man. I don't see the problem with anything that we just talked about.

[Andrew Schultz]

Neither do I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right. Neither do I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? This black and white.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, God, yes. Alex, Alex, Alex.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Red carpet.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you too? Cause, man, you know what I. Kanye is the. He tries to act so anti industry, but there's nobody more industry like there's nobody more industry than Kanye West. But he wants to be so anti industry and act like he's rebelling against the machine.

[Andrew Schultz]

But he's showing he wants to be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So much a part of the machine.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but he can't do wonders with a beautiful white woman with big tits. Like, nobody gets more out of a beautiful white woman with big tits than Kanye West.

[C]

West.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think so?

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know anybody in history who has gotten more attention out of a beautiful white woman with big tits.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I guess, I mean.

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you mean? I guess he's.

[C]

Think of it.

[Andrew Schultz]

No question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, you look like they wear the same bra size. If you ask me, Kanye need to do some goddamn push ups. Here's the other thing too.

[Andrew Schultz]

Man, you hate. Yo, you looking at his tit and I the wrong with this guy. Yo, yo, keep eating your nuts. This guy. How the hell you looking at. I didn't even know Kanye had a shirt.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know. Did you hear Kanye tell Justin Leboy that nobody can take Kendrick but him or some shit like that?

[Andrew Schultz]

What does that mean exactly? What does that mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said he basically was implying that Kendrick is a master MC and he can fuck anybody up in a rap battle except for him. Basically you rap against Kendrick Lamar is really.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a difficult task, but perhaps it's something. You know what I'm saying? I'm a psycho genius. So you know, it could be. Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There you have it. Do not rap against Kendrick Lamar unless you're a psychogenius. Unless you're a psycho genius. Like, yay. It's like, cut it out.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, nah, nah, nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not impressed, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just yo you could. You don't have to lie. I'm not you not impressed with that physical asset.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ain't even make nothing. Not to me. Boo. Black queens forever. Snow bunnies.

[Andrew Schultz]

Never.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said black queens forever.

[C]

Snow bunnies never.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said black queens, queens forever. Snow bunnies never.

[Andrew Schultz]

Van tweeting right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what.

[Andrew Schultz]

Van deleted 14 tweets about that already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do I tweet and delete?

[C]

Tweeting, deleting, that's what mad trash.

[Andrew Schultz]

You see 300 white women in this trash.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is hilarious. What else we got? Taylor Gaines. Oh, play that. That's funny too. No, what's petty versus petty? What's that? Rick Ross sympathy set. I don't want to play that.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What else we got? The kids taunted Drake's dad. I thought Drake's dad gave a phenomenal answer. I thought he gave a phenomenal answer. Baby.

[Andrew Schultz]

What'd they say?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh no, that was up. I didn't see this. Oh, damn. For the kids.

[Andrew Schultz]

For the kids. Let.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let the kids get their picture.

[C]

Everybody back up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They all want pictures though. I want better for them kids, man. Like leave people parents alone, man.

[C]

He even has a off brand OBJ with him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why are they doing that to Drake's dad? Leave Drake's dad alone. He ain't got nothing to do with the. That's why I like when he. When they ran up on Drake dad, Drake. I said, man, I ain't got nothing to do with that. Leave me out of this. Yeah, leave OG alone, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Is he at the Grammy? Where is he?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's at the Grammy. Yeah.

[C]

Why is it he be outside?

[Andrew Schultz]

Why is he at the Grammy?

[C]

He be outside.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I'm happy nothing happened to him, you know what I'm saying? Like you got some idiots out here that'll do something like snaps to change, yo. You know what I mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

So fucking corny.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So corny. And it was in la, it would have been super corny. I'm glad, I'm glad nothing like that happened happen. What else we got? Taylor Other one was this 50 cent being a savage to man. This was crazy. If this, if they said that. Oh no, this not. This is Rick Ross and 50. I thought you talking about the other one. Oh, sorry. Hold on, hold on.

[C]

Charlotte, can you explain this with Big Meech?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have no idea. I really don't. I mean I. I really don't. I know that if you are 50 cents friend, you know you need to say to 50 hey fif, can you just give me a list of everybody you don't like? Okay, so I don't take a picture with him so I don't stand next to them. Cause you gotta consider that when you're friends with 50. When you're friends with 50, you know he don't want you fucking with nobody else.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you should know what, like, you should know. Like, there's not that long a list. Like, you know, that what's his face is the ops. So if you're out there fraternizing with them, he's gonna feel away about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, they're Rick Ross.

[C]

Yeah, but, like, it's like Rick Ross has songs like, oh, I Think I'm Big Meech or whatever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it's like, how much loyalty should Mech have to 50? I don't know the relationship. I just think I know that 50 did a show based off Meech's life BMF.

[Andrew Schultz]

But how much loyalty should, to me, make a lot of money off of it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. I got him saying I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I don't know.

[C]

He put his son in it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder. I wonder why I would even. I want to ask 50 that. Like, you know, how much of things are business for him and how things are personal. Because if it's just business and you decided to do a show based off bmf, cool. You know what I'm saying? You ain't really tripping off Ross taking a picture with Meech. But if you really thought y' all was super, super cool, then I understand. You know what I mean? But this was crazy, too. I saw everybody and God Bless Irv Gotti. 50 posted this. He posted the headline. What's the headline, Taylor, what does the headline say? It says, report Irv Gotti on life support. Friends and family saying their goodbyes. And 50 put. Damn. I wanted him to see my new shows, yo.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, how. I mean, that's not really a. The 50 we know. That's not really a foul caption.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, it's not. I don't think it's foul.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, and he could have said some worse shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

But what's interesting about it is, like, now we're at the point where we know what he's saying without him even saying it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all didn't want to talk about Luka? I'm already late. Oh, yeah. We didn't even talk about Shout out to Luca.

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you mean, shout out? Like he had anything to do with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Here's the thing. Trump is going to use the Dallas gm. What's his name? Nico Harrison. Nico Harrison. Listen, the next DEI complaint that Trump.

[Andrew Schultz]

Has, and he might be right, he's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Going to point to Nico. Let the Mavericks win a championship.

[Andrew Schultz]

He might be right about that one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Motherfucking Nico.

[Andrew Schultz]

He might be right about that one, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There is no reason to trade a generational talent like Luka Doncic, unless. Unless Luka is a serial killer in Slovenia and we don't know about it yet.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's in Slovenia.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay? Because if it's just because he's fat, you don't trade him. You hire him a fucking trainer and a nutritionist. And we just saw him at the fucking Lakers. Shit, he ain't look fat at all.

[Andrew Schultz]

To me, it shows a lack of confidence in Nico Harrison's ability to motivate superstars. If you can't take a superstar, who, mind you, took them to a championship.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Last year, the finals.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, so it's not like last year. So to me, what that's indicative of is Nico going, I don't believe that I can get. Get enough out of this guy. I can't motivate him. I can't make him go to the mountaintop, which. He already took you there. He didn't win it, but he already took you there. It is a very peculiar move and to not even shop him on the open market.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something's wrong.

[Andrew Schultz]

Something is something off. There's some conspiracy theories out there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, What'd you hear?

[Andrew Schultz]

Maybe tanking. The city gets disillusioned with the team. They can then move the team to Las Vegas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, they got better.

[Andrew Schultz]

Almost.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, I know it's hard. I know. Well, let me say this. I don't want to say they got better, because when you say Luka, you get rid of a talent like Luka, it's hard to say they got better, but they did get. They're still really good. You got Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving. They just made a trade for Khalid Martin. They're going to be in the mix.

[C]

I wouldn't be surprised if Kyrie asked for a trade.

[Andrew Schultz]

Really? If.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah. Not with Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis is Anthony Davis 25 and 10 guy, man. He ain't Luka. He's a 25 and 10 guy. And they just got Khalil Martin from the Sixes.

[C]

But he enjoyed playing with Luka. Luka. And to do that without a heads.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Up, bro, I would want to play.

[C]

I wouldn't want to play for that team.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he's a serial killer in Slovenia, bro. Something happened that we don't. I think he might have knocked off one of the executives wives or something. Something happened that we don't know about. Yo.

[C]

I think it's an injury. Injury. That is like one of those that won't get better.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How?

[C]

Just that he's, like, hiding. He's maybe doped up or something like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was averaging 33 a game last year. 28 a seat.

[Andrew Schultz]

Al. It doesn't explain not putting money. Open market, kid. Yeah, but I think there might be.

[C]

Collusion if something gets out. I think injury. While you're shopping them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Luka's gonna come back this weekend.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't think?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And drop 40. There's nothing. I don't. I don't know. I. I can't believe. I don't think it. Believe the injury.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let me tell you something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard he was. Al. I heard somebody also said alcohol is a problem.

[Andrew Schultz]

He said he's. He's drinking and smoking, but, like, again, he's rushing, but he's not rushing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is.

[Andrew Schultz]

I know the world. The world is so small. I know he isn't, but he is. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's one of those, right?

[Andrew Schultz]

To Americans. Yeah, but he isn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He had vodka in his breast milk, bro. What is he. He's. All I'm saying is he's been drinking for a long time. It's their culture. Wherever he's from.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Slovenia.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. It's not. What are they guys called?

[C]

Like.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's like Raka or something like that. I forget the name of it. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Point is, something's weird, and this is a little fishy, because what they want to do is build this casino complex around the new Dallas Mavericks arena, but they can't do it because I think gambling is illegal in Texas, so they need permission from the governor to break that law. And I think the reason it's illegal is because Texas, conservative state, and I think the religious folks out there are like, no, we don't want casinos everywhere. I believe gambling might be a sin to a certain extent or frown upon.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So they're. They're saying, and the new people that bought at the Adelsons are in the casino business. So they're like, we bought this to build a casino. If you're telling us right now we can't build a casino, we got to go somewhere where we could build. Build a casino. And we damn sure ain't going to be able to move when the entire city loves this incredibly successful team. If the team sucks for five years, then maybe we can move it somewhere else. Build our casino complex and make the real money. Because you're not making money off the teams like you used to. You got to pay these guys $500 million.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's unbelievable. Yeah, man, I think it's fucked up. And the fact he's not going to be able to get to supermax all because he got traded, which I think is very unfair because he earned that money. Yeah, like there's nothing he did on the court that should keep him from getting that money. The fact that he just got traded because somebody made a bad. I'm not even gonna say it's a bad trade. I just think it's a stupid trade. It's a trade that don't make any sense. We don't know why it happened. And somebody gotta give us a fucking reason.

[Andrew Schultz]

You wanna know something? I heard. I heard that in the purchasing of the team there was a clause put in by the NBA that they could not include Cuban in basketball related decisions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, he's no longer a majority owner.

[Andrew Schultz]

But he can't even be included in basketball related decisions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he's not.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you don't have to be a majority owner to be involved.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I think he purposely took a step back from basketball operations.

[Andrew Schultz]

What I heard is that he's not even allowed to be privy to them. And that was part of the agreement. So if to me that feels like it's the NBA going all right, get this out of here. Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a leak that Luca was on the Diddy tapes or something, Bro, you heard that new story about they said Diddy was Diddy oiled up two guys before he them.

[C]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And one of the guys said that Diddy used to like for him to nut on the girl and then did he would drink the nut.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, drinking the nut is crazy. But just watching someone nut on a girl is porn. Like I don't know if that's that weird.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but then drinking the nut afterwards.

[Andrew Schultz]

Drinking the nut is weird. With the baby oil, there's like a health hazard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drink the nut. That's why. That's how he got the idea for Cocalosa.

[C]

Come on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what they say. That's how you got that coco, man.

[C]

You just try to get that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm just telling you, you drinking that, you don't know what's in that, man. Got a white dot for a reason, you know? See somebody lick the white dot of the Coco Loso bottle. You wonder where the they got that idea from.

[Andrew Schultz]

I need to know where Sorak sales are right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, he not a part of it no more.

[Andrew Schultz]

Doesn't matter. He's still attached to it like he. I identify Soraka as his vodka. Even if he's not a part of it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Part of it. Nah. Yeah. He had deli on the wall. You still think so now? Yeah.

[C]

When people say Ciroc bottle, you still.

[Andrew Schultz]

Think the Diddy commercial. Yeah, I guess. Like, I'm not buying Ciroc anymore. Yeah. You end up getting butt fucked.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You will deleon, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Deleon, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what deleon is French for?

[Andrew Schultz]

What is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's French for butt fucking. No, you thought of me.

[Andrew Schultz]

You didn't know that means family matters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I hear a. Just wearing out some. I'm like, huh? Like hearing that. I'm like, on six.

[Andrew Schultz]

Zero.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's wearing this out, right? I kick in the door. Poof. Kick in the door. I seen. I looked. I seen Carl Winslow. That's the father. Ain't that the father from Family Matters? Yeah. No way. Oh, the dad.

[Andrew Schultz]

The dad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I swear to God. Dad, homies, neighborhood crib. So when I see. I seen that. That and then. So who. Who was piping Carl? Diddy. Yeah, Diddy was. So when. When. When I see. When I seen that, cuz, right? Diddy came back and he. He was telling me, he was like, it's nothing more enjoyable than having a man do something for some money. I'm like, cuz that crazy.

[C]

That's good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy. You know, they said after fucking Diddy finished fucking him, he nutted on his ass and went, did I do that? No.

[Andrew Schultz]

Did I do that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all ain't watch the rest of the video.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, we got some good shit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a good one for him?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think he got evil to four Pork Woo Tang. Like, I'm sick and tired of seeing Chris eat everything with chopsticks. Even. You're not even. I saw him eat a burger with chopsticks. I said, chris, you could eat that with your hands.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And he.

[Andrew Schultz]

And he was like, no. Like, he said, no. And this took a chopstick on a burger from five guys and ate it like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They said Diddy tried to use chopsticks to eat the chopsticks. Perfect.

[Andrew Schultz]

Talk. Right? Perfect.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He doesn't even feel like Chris had his dick out. This guy is wild.

[Andrew Schultz]

Damn, bro. No, for real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I'm about to get.

[Andrew Schultz]

They did say that, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give me one more. Give me one more, man. Give me another one.

[Andrew Schultz]

They did. Did you hear what they were saying about the. The come tapes or whatever like that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I don't know. Whatever. Taiwanese. We know you're Chinese, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just got.

[Andrew Schultz]

But we were talking about what Diddy used to do with the sweet and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sour seed off Juan Carlos. A time in your life when you thought you made a bad deal and turned out to be better than. Yeah, time in my life when I thought I made a bad deal, but I turned out to be better than. I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, me neither.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. I had to think about that because.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why would you make the bad deal?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why would you make the bad.

[C]

No, you made a deal. Turned out it was bad, but then it worked out for you. I would say you're special.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Is that. Because that's where my brain went too. But I don't know if that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go back to it, Taylor.

[Andrew Schultz]

Time in your life where you. Where you thought you made a bad deal.

[C]

Yeah, like nobody goes into a deal.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what I'm saying. Like, I was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if you thought you made a bad deal, then that means, you know, you made a bad deal.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's the thing. I didn't. I didn't make a bad. Like, I was hyped for it.

[C]

Yeah, the last special, and they wanted you to cut stuff out and you was like, oh, but I didn't make.

[Andrew Schultz]

A bad deal going into it. They were like, just say whatever you want. So I wasn't tripping. That's a weird one. That's a weird question. Because, like, knowing you made a bad deal is weird.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, yeah, I don't. I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, give us one more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One more, Taylor. One more, one more, one more, one more. I like this. We can end on this one. How do you stay creative, like, posting every week without being repetitive or burnt out? I mean, it's easy because. Or two things. Depends what you're calling creative. Because when we're doing this, this is just us every day being ourselves. And there's always new content to talk about. Right now, when you're talking about other forms of creativity, which is, you know, at least for me, writing books, doing audio scripted content, you know, producing tv, producing film, that's a different creative muscle. And those creative muscles, you're on those projects for a while. So, like, you can have an idea for a TV show and you're on that idea for a while. You have the idea for a film, you're on that idea for a while. Cause you're writing, you're building. So you kind of just stay in those spaces. And as far as this, it's like, every week is new shit to talk about. Every day is something new to talk about. I do radio every day. Literally.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's an amazing muscle. I don't think people realize it, like, what training radio is, because you're doing a pod every single day for 10 years. And then you get into podcasting, and then this is like you relaxing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's. Yeah, because. Because now it's actually easier to do.

[Andrew Schultz]

This because there's no rigidity. There's no, like, you've had a week.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To think about things. Actually, your might be better here because you give it more thought, you know what I mean? Like, than you do on the radio. I'm not gonna say I don't.

[Andrew Schultz]

You fleshed out the ideas even on radio. Like, every single day on radio, you were talking about a different thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

So then you talk about, you know, similar topics for about two or three days. By the time you get in here, it's like, oh, shit, I gotta really refined.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And everywhere I. Every Every platform I have requires the same me with a different version of me. Like, I know what I can do on Breakfast Club. Or I know what I wanna do.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Based on who the other characters are. Jess and Envy and Lauren, Whoever else. Same thing with idiots. I know what I know shows, like, so it's different if I'm on Daily Show. That's a different thing. Like, all of these things require different versions of.

[Andrew Schultz]

Of different parts of you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Different parts of me. That's the perfect word for it. Different parts of me. All right, I gotta go. Next week, I promise. We've been giving them more than two hours every week.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't think you should feel guilty, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, we prioritize this over most things in our life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

We've been doing this shit for 12 years. If you gotta go, you gotta make a short one this week. That's okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been running late all day, too. God damn it.

[Andrew Schultz]

But I want you guys to look in. Think about that. Think about how successful he is. This is the dedication of brilliant. Think about how successful and busy he is. We're still doing a longer episode than most podcasts, and there's, like, a little party that feels guilty you didn't give enough. That's dedication, and that is gratitude. So thank you guys so much for always stuck with us, always. Thank you rocking with us like this. So thank you guys so much, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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 think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right, too. It's the Brilliant Idiots podcast. Thank you for listening.

[Andrew Schultz]

Peace.
