The show is loose, unfiltered, and full of inside cultural references, double entendres, and topical humor. Both hosts blend sharp insights with raucous jokes, often pushing social boundaries in both language and thematic content. There’s a playful, sometimes confrontational debate style, and the tone swings rapidly from hilarious to serious whenever news or politics comes up.

Summary

This “Brilliant Idiots” episode captures everything that fans expect: absurd debate, social observations, uncensored takes on music and celebrity culture (especially the “Drake glaze”), competitive NBA analysis, high-level but accessible political satire, and relentless clowning of themselves and each other. The “Make America Glaze Again” thesis threads through music discussion, sports analysis, and even American politics, all in a way that’s as idiotic as it is brilliant.

If you missed it, expect:

• Laughter
• Quotable bits
• Tangents on Drake, NBA, rap beefs, and DC corruption
• No shortage of monkey business, with just enough sharp insight to keep it brilliant.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, the whole. Yeah, I gotta be like Robin. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

A peripheral text from Robin Thick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? God damn. Because that thought is in your mind every time you see him. You'd be like, yo, now Robin Thick. And then you gotta look just to see. You know what I mean? Take a little peek just to make sure he's as thick as he says he is and halfway. You know what I mean? You should. It's only right.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's only right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dude, if Batman was a bat, was robbing a bird

[Andrew Schultz]

yeah, well, Robin is a bird, son.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? Never thought about that type of. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, whatever he's saying, that's a good ass point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a good ass point.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whatever the fuck he said. You never thought about that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You never thought about that? How was your weekend, Hezekiah Walker?

[Andrew Schultz]

It was good, man. We were out in Salt Lake City, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ooh, what's happening?

[Andrew Schultz]

Salt Lake City got the prettiest white woman on the planet. I think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think they've actually. I think it is number one, pound for pound. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it polygamy, like legal day or some shit?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think the Mormons had it back in the day, but they switched it up. They don't really do that, but everyone's pregnant, okay? It's every woman there is pregnant. They're all fucking dimes. It's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What makes a white woman pretty? Tell me, like, well, give me an example of like a beautiful white woman. No, I'm just saying for him, I want to know, like what?

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, well, what made them pretty to

[Charlamagne Tha God]

you when they had bodies like black women? You seen one back in the day.

[Andrew Schultz]

I was trying to do the thing, but just me and you know what we're doing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna tell you. Ask me a question. I'm giving you an answer. I can't talk about the. Back in the days. Nah, I can't talk about back in the days.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't talk about old work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Even the days when I was young. I'm not a kid anymore, but sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You like.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you always like thick. You ever. You never got with any slim. Thick is childish. Like, thick I get like, you do it in. You know, you do it when you're like, excuse me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, he mean white girl. Yeah, yeah. He not talking about sisters.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah. No, thick is you're. When you're in your teens, when you're in your 20s, maybe your early 30s. Thick is fun, but like, when you. When you get older, like, slimmest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody really care about that. First of all, the reality of the situation is you got to be a certain level of guy. No, that's what I'm saying. You got to be a certain level of guy to have all those options.

[Andrew Schultz]

This guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? But when you young, you kind of just getting what you can get.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but your imagination is all the options. We go off our imagination.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I never cared about the thickness.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's going on? What is going on right now, we're having. The premise of this conversation is you like them when they're. No, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said. No, no. You asked me what did I see in a particular. A brand of woman. Yes. You said white girl.

[Andrew Schultz]

White women.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, you said, what makes white women pretty beautiful. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, I really meant that, though. Like, I don't think.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't think there's anything specific to white women. They just happen to be white because everyone in Utah is white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gotcha.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, when you see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they got beautiful women. Because you said white women. That's why.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, if everybody's there is white, they're the beautiful white women. Like, when I look at the women in New York and I'm like, new York got beautiful women. Everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, it's mad diversity.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, it's Puerto Ricans, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on, bro. You're going to see the baddest Asian chick you ever seen in your life. You're going to see the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Makes the Asian woman pretty. Like, give me an example.

[Andrew Schultz]

What you going through now? I'm just trying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why can't we have no examples, bro? Like, why can't we get examples?

[Andrew Schultz]

What does make an Asian woman pretty to you, Chris? We got a connoisseur. We got the sommelier in the building. Maybe we not seeing something that he understands. What is, what is, Chris? What makes.

[Chris]

I only know what makes one Asian lady pregnant.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There you go. Good answer.

[Andrew Schultz]

And they all look, I knew you was coming. I knew you was coming.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was like, who's going to dunk it? It's right there.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't be alley ooping that shit like that, Chris.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, come on, come on, y'.

[Taylor]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't be just throwing it up like that. Listen. Yes, but no. So, yeah, I don't think Asian women when I think New York.

[Andrew Schultz]

Are you kidding me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Think Puerto Ricans. No, honestly, I. I think a lot.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think a lot of Puerto Ricans must have moved out of New York. New York was more Puerto Rican when I was growing up. That's a fact. That is a fact. Right? When I was growing up, New York was super Puerto Rican. And I think they might have moved to, like, North Carolina.

[Chris]

Told me this the other day, that there's been a.

[Andrew Schultz]

They went to Florida.

[Chris]

Puerto Ricans and African Americans. There's been a pretty significant exodus from New York over the last 20 years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They still in the Bronx? They're still in the Bronx, bro. Yeah, but I'm in the Puerto Ricans still in the Bronx.

[Andrew Schultz]

But they stay might be up there. Back in the day, it was like Les was all Puerto Rican. Fuck, when I grew up, downtown was all Alphabet City was all Puerto Rican.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I mean. That's what I think when I think of New York. Well, I guess you're right. Now I never, you know, it's so crazy. I didn't even think about it. Yo, you got to start paying attention in this fucking city, man. That story of that woman who fell in that manhole is fucking so sad.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why is a man hole? You know what I mean? Like, why has it got to be a manhole? Like, why is everything bad got to be about men or black?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you're fucking right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now I get it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Now I get it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. The Black Plague. Why is it called the Black Plague?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Why is it got to be black?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Licorice.

[Andrew Schultz]

Black licorice. The worst.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The worst. Shit, look that up. Taylor, why is it called a manhole? That's a good question. I never thought about that. Why the fuck is it called A man have way more holes.

[Andrew Schultz]

They do away more holes. But a woman would never be working on one. How?

[Taylor]

I mean, it's called a manhole because it provides a vertical access point large enough for a person to physically climb down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why isn't that called a person?

[Taylor]

Who's the same thing when they have, like, men working. It's also women working, too. Like, when they have those signs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, did not.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's like women at work. Sometimes you do see a woman working a construction site.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not talking about, like, walking by, you know, with a little short dress on, you know, $10 on a lunch break. I'm talking about fudgeing with a hard hat.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, whenever you see the women working on the construction site, what is it you feel?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've never seen you never seen them.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, sometimes they're holding a sign, they'll be like, stop. Like, if they put them out there for traffic, they'll be like, stop. And they got to hold the sign. And that's their job.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I promise you. I'm not saying that they don't. I've just never, never seen a woman on a roof. I've never seen a woman.

[Andrew Schultz]

You've never seen a woman on a roof?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Never seen a woman.

[Andrew Schultz]

Historically, I don't know if a woman's ever been on a roof.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope. Not even Mrs. Claus. She won't even fucking ride with her husband. Why the fuck. Mrs. Claus ain't never with her husband on a roof.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a good. That's a good ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is she never there?

[Taylor]

He gotta make. Isn't she the CEO of their house?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what the hell she does.

[Andrew Schultz]

CEO of their house. It's not a business, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Travel all around the world with the ring.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's not making food.

[Taylor]

Honey, they gotta make sure the elves are in check and everything.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a charity. It's not a business.

[Taylor]

But there's elves working.

[Andrew Schultz]

Your wife doesn't come with you to work.

[Taylor]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's true. That's true. That's true. That is one day of a goddamn good.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Because our wives have children to look after.

[Taylor]

Oh, my goodness.

[Andrew Schultz]

Elves look after the elves.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy. It's crazy. Santa trust all them elves with his wife, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

You already know what time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? Every Christmas, she can't wait for Santa to leave, yo. You know what I'm saying? Getting a train ran on her. Keebler Crunch. Yeah, the whole plan, you know.

[Andrew Schultz]

I believe they call it the Polar Express.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, that shit was sad, though, man. I heard that story, and I can't get that shit out of my mind.

[Andrew Schultz]

Did she pass?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did the pass? Yo, they said she pulled up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Jesus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I guess a truck hit the manhole cover. And like 12 minutes later she pulled up. And a witness said it was like. Yo, it was like she disappeared like on some movies. As soon as he stepped out of her car, just vanished. And they said it was. It's so hot down there.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what the steam. They said she went in the cardiac arrest. I think she was alive when they pulled her out because they put the burn blankets on. But she died at the hospital. That. Holy God damn.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm even starting to pod with this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause it was on my mind, so I had to share that. I'm trying to get that off me, bro. Because it's like. What Chris said is, I know now

[Andrew Schultz]

we all in hell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How you pronounce her name? Just rest in peace to her, man. That story is so sad, yo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, Donnica.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just sad. It's just sad. It's just sad. It's just sad. Chris was like, 8 million stories in New York City. I'm like, I ain't never heard that one. That's a new one, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What'd you say, Taylor?

[Andrew Schultz]

You said 8 million stories.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, in New York, it's 8 million stories in the Naked City. But I've never heard that one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah. Tell me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, you have.

[Chris]

You just heard it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Eight million stories in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Eight stories in the naked city.

[Andrew Schultz]

In the naked city. And what is that supposed to mean?

[Chris]

Well, that was at the time New York's population was 8 million. It's probably close to 20 right now. But it was a saying, that signature.

[Andrew Schultz]

New York city's population is 20 million people.

[Chris]

I think it's gotta be closer than 20.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't even think it's in the tens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, not in the tens. Definitely New York City. Hell, yeah. Wow. New York is like 14 million people.

[Chris]

Let's see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Look it up.

[Taylor]

You got two kids.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Two kids, man, and grandkids. That shit's sad, man. So sad. Rest in peace to her, man. All right, Any kids? I mean, how many? Population? 8.5 million.

[Chris]

That's it?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What are you guys thinking, man? Let people lie? Why can't we lie? Yo, when I say 20, why can't we say 20 million people on the fucking island, man? Actually, you know what? One time. You trust Asians with numbers. You know what I'm saying? I just agree. I just. That's why I agreed with him.

[Chris]

I'm like 20 million people in Taipei. That's all I know.

[Andrew Schultz]

So I figured for now, you include the whole Metropolis.

[Chris]

All right, 20 in Greater New York.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but nobody's asking about greater New York.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, so New York Theater, but all the boroughs is 20.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, those. Long Island, Jersey, all the. You said they're adding other states. Get out of here with all this. Jersey, State, area, state.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You definitely can't count Jersey. What else we got, Taylor? Let's get to it, man. You know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, tell me what you thought about the triple albums. The boy's back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think I listen to them?

[Taylor]

Shit, you didn't listen to any of them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was nice, man.

[Taylor]

Yeah. That's only one other ones are you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, now, I did hear a bop off another one, though.

[Taylor]

Where? Which one?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't remember. It's like one of the Miami Bass beats. You know me, I'm a little thot at. I'm, you know. Yeah, I'm a little thot on your little trans thot over here. You know what I mean? So it's one of them. I can't remember the name of it. What's it called?

[Taylor]

I think he didn't mention you at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fuck what? He mentioned me.

[Taylor]

For you, the one that I'm talking the most.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I am not the person talking the most. What's the name of that record, man? It's not on Iceman, though. But Envy play that shit every morning. That shit is the boy. He never went anywhere.

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad y' all are back, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get out of here. Let the meat riding begin. We've been. We've been. Literally. I've been saying that for years. You still Drake. All you did was lose a rap battle, bro. Cut it out.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know if you said that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's all I said. Yeah, yeah. You lost a rap battle.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was all good, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let it go.

[Andrew Schultz]

We could all change our minds. Don't I know. We can all change our minds. He's so good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Still Drake. You lost the rap battle.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can we just talk about how music is the most powerful thing on the planet? It's the only thing that. That is more powerful than pedophilia accusations.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was the only. Any other profession you get. Even the accusation, it's over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For not in rap. It's rap music, too.

[Andrew Schultz]

MJ. MJ's movie did 400 fucking million dollars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you put out great music, it doesn't matter. You know how music. You know how you know music is great. Y' all don't even talk about the accusations Drake made toward Kendrick. What did he say exactly? Cause the music was that fucking good. The whole time, you didn't even think about it.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's the star from Mario. It's the invisibility cloak.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's all the things.

[Andrew Schultz]

If you make great music, we can push everything aside. It's the most powerful medium on the planet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Once again, over the last two years, Drake streaming numbers, staying through the roof. He's got this narrative where he talks like the radio wasn't playing him. Not fucking true. He had Nokia. All of that shit was on the radio. What did I miss? All of that shit was on the radio. It's just like, cut it out. You lost a rap battle and then

[Taylor]

people like, oh, music is back. Music's been here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They haven't gone nowhere.

[Andrew Schultz]

Music is back. Music is back.

[Taylor]

Stop.

[Andrew Schultz]

Music is back. Music was gone for a little bit.

[Taylor]

Glazing hard.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm not glazing. I'm just saying the thing is. Nice. Can we give credit where credit is due?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what MAGA stands for.

[Andrew Schultz]

What is that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Make America glaze again. That's all Drake wanted. All Drake wanted was y' all to be back on your motherfucking knees. Even though you never left. You spent two years glazing them because you tried to convince people that he won something he didn't win. And now, even with this album, it's like, this changes nothing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, he didn't win the battle. No, nobody's saying he won the battle.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, they are.

[Taylor]

Yes, they are.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, they are.

[Taylor]

All Drake fans be like, no, no, he's doing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, he won the war.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's gonna win the war.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, how? What war was there to win?

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, I mean, there was not. There wasn't literally a battle either. We're speaking of metaphors.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what's the war?

[Andrew Schultz]

When it's all said and done, he will go down as a much bigger artist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop.

[Taylor]

Is that what people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop.

[Andrew Schultz]

100%. Like, it's not even close. 100%. The numbers will show it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Numbers lie. And you know how you know numbers lie? When it's all said and done, LeBron. When it's all said and done, LeBron James is going to have every single record there is to have. Is he better than Jordan?

[Andrew Schultz]

How many number of rings does he have?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Six. Tony lebron.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, he got five.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, Jordan got six rings.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but how many got four? Okay, so that number is telling the truth.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So Robert Ory is better than LeBron

[Andrew Schultz]

James at winning championships.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, cut it out.

[Taylor]

He has a team around him.

[Andrew Schultz]

Is he not better at winning championships?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tony Romo, statistically, is the greatest Dallas Cowboy quarterback ever.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're making my point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know that not to be true.

[Andrew Schultz]

You making my point. How many rings?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know that. Not none.

[Andrew Schultz]

What number of rings has he got?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How many rings does Kendrick have?

[Andrew Schultz]

He doesn't play basketball or football.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So how many rings does Drake have?

[Andrew Schultz]

He's got all of them.

[Taylor]

No, Kendrick has more Grammys than Drake.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, y' all really put up. Put. You care about the White Music Awards.

[Taylor]

Yo, you're so crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're so crazy. That's crazy. All of a sudden, y' all glaze.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Grammys. Valuable. I'm just telling you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Damn. To me, the Grammys is sippy cup. To me, I remember that guy. The Grammys is a seppy cup.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Here's the thing. I don't care about none of that shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm trying to win a battle.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just know that what we saw two years, so we've never seen before because we've never seen two of the two. The two biggest rappers of a generation go at it because they're. They're big rappers, not just culturally. They're big on every metric you can imagine.

[Andrew Schultz]

We've never seen two pop stars go at it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's even better.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think that's like, we saw rappers go at it. Back before, rap was pop music. Now it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's even better.

[Chris]

Pop music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Chris]

And.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, go ahead, Go ahead.

[Taylor]

I'm gonna say. So you listen to all three.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was nice, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

I got kids talk about. You listen all three. I got kids. I listened to Iceman.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I listen.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then I went through.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't go through none of them.

[Andrew Schultz]

I went through a little bit of the other ones.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Made up on her.

[Andrew Schultz]

But, I mean, I just popped around.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I went through. I listened to Iceman. Listen, here's the thing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Iceman got some slappers on it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He can rap.

[Andrew Schultz]

He can rap. I've been trying to tell you guys this. I was trying to tell you guys this for fucking years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I will say this. And I thought about this. Drake is. Drake is a mood.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not too many artists can be a mood. He's an actual mood. Like, when I think of moods, this

[Andrew Schultz]

is a type of glaze.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, Sade is a mood.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Erykah Badu is a mood, too. No, no, you can be in the mood for Kendrick. Drake is an actual mood. And it's a mood I've never been in. Okay. Right. That is a fucking. I thought it was gonna be good. I've never. You've never been in the mood for some. I've never been in Drake. Mood. Yeah. Yo, Drake. Yo, Drake got. I said this a long time ago on Vlad tv. I said, you know, there's three different identities. Gay, straight, and Drake. Sexual identities. But really, it's the type of person. It's an aesthetic.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who is the type of person that likes Drake?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ovo, Eli.

[Taylor]

Oh, my goodness. And he got to meet him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Look at you. Remember when. Pull up that video of that Drake. Remember they had that Drake party where everybody looked like Dr. There's a look. And I ain't talking about mulattoes. It's just. It's a. It's a look that people who like

[Andrew Schultz]

Drake have got it.

[Taylor]

No, that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a identity look. It's an identity. It's that. That's not lookalikes. It's the energy they all got, bro. Look at them. Am I lying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, they got that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see what I'm saying? Come on, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what winning looks like. I'm just saying that's what winning looks like, man.

[Taylor]

Shout out, though, to Eli. I'm really.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I will say this. Iceman is cool. He got some shit on there that I Like, I really like the intro. The intro. I feel like he really dug deep, but, man, I'm gonna tell y' all something. Don't ever let nobody know they got to you. Like the way Drake lets people know Kendrick got to him. But fuck all that now. Fuck all that. Don't ever let a motherfucker know they got to you. The way Kendrick got to Drake.

[Andrew Schultz]

Tell me, what do you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you mean? It's two and a half years later, not only did he sue like I said he was going to do, okay, he won't stop talking about it. He done fell out with all his friends just because they liked. They liked Kendrick music. Got his braun tattoo covered up. Come on. You know what I'm saying? Got his braun tattoo covered up.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Covered up the tattoo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got his braun tattoo covered up. Got Khaled out here losing weight. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Khaled. Finally, Khaled's in a tricky situation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Khaled might start eating again. Khaled might start stress eating after that shit, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

I have a way out for him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell me.

[Andrew Schultz]

He got to join Hamas. That's the fuck. That's the only way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut the fuck up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Is the only way. Right or no? Am I wrong?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Drake put himself in a bad situation with that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, because you think he wasn't vocal enough about it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whenever.

[Andrew Schultz]

It ain't his fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whenever you. Whenever you make that kind of claim against somebody, now people are going to start questioning you and saying, well, what have you stood up for? What do you stand up for? Why have. If you believe that? Why haven't you denounced Israel?

[Andrew Schultz]

Mark said. Mark said if Khaled joins Hamas, they got to make the tunnels bigger.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut the fuck up, man. You know Khaled can't get on no fucking paraglasses.

[Andrew Schultz]

I said that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said, you know that, bitch, man, get the fuck out of here. That's fucked up, yo. Listen, it's just a tricky situation because I also think that was very low.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a bird. No, it's a plane.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, it's the Goodyear plane. And on the side it read, ice cube, milk, pill. Okay, all right, listen, I don't. I just think it's a tricky situation when you do that, because. Don't weaponize shit like that, puff. Just because you trying to take a stab at somebody or. You know what I mean?

[Taylor]

What did Khaled do beforehand, though? Why he getting mad at me?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nothing like what Drake does That is.

[Chris]

So what's the context? I don't understand where you gotta say, I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Internet has been on DJ Khaled wanting DJ Khaled to say something about Palestine because he's Palestinian and he refuses to say anything.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, he just says love to everybody. He does look mad at Khaled.

[Taylor]

That's what we're trying to figure out. We don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I think I saw academics say, because Khaled was quiet during the whole Drake getting his ass kicked to Kendrick.

[Taylor]

What's he supposed to do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He never said anything. And then when it was over, he started promoting the two songs again.

[Andrew Schultz]

Apparently after the whole battle, first time Drake even sees this or hears from him, he pops up online saying, I got two Drake tracks, yo. Drake is like, yo, bumble clot, ain't this the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been looking for. For this whole time? Drake had no choice. Two tracks with who?

[Andrew Schultz]

Two tracks with who? Hold on. Two tracks with who?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bro, it's not like Drake was looking for him to slide the went ghost.

[Andrew Schultz]

First time he see him pop up, the guy said, I got two Drake tracks, yo, Drake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It finally hit Drake. He's an opportunist.

[Andrew Schultz]

He was trying to be Switzerland during the whole show, right?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And like, some. It's hard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you want cows to do? He don't even rap.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but don't remain neutral when I'm

[Charlamagne Tha God]

at war and do. What do you want me to say?

[Andrew Schultz]

If it's. If you're at war, we're at war, bro.

[Taylor]

But Whoopi's cool with Kendrick, too.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, that's what I'm saying. Like, his style of music is working with all the artists. Yeah, but you get caught up being neutral. Like the same thing with the Palestine thing. Like, his style of being an entertainer is like, I get to entertain everybody, but your people are gonna wanna hear from you. So there's a cost to trying to be something for everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Cali, you know what I mean? The beef was fully live. You went halal and got on your dean and your people are still waiting for a free Palestine. But apparently everything is in black and white and red and green. I don't.

[Taylor]

Has Drake said something? I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's my point. I just said he signed some letter back in the day. Whatever. But it's not even just about this one issue. Now people are going to be looking for him to be super vocal. And what's going to happen when he's in an interview and somebody ask Him. Why do. Why do. Why do you want Palestine to be free and you're Jewish, Drake, if you want Palestine to be free, why haven't you said anything about, you know, how the Israeli government is doing this to the people of God?

[Andrew Schultz]

He's going to say. I said a lot of Arabic words on the album. I guarantee he going to say a lot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, whatever that is, she boy. What's that? What's this

[Andrew Schultz]

like? He's just gonna say all the Arabic words that the white people say now. Yeah, white people done ruins, inshallah. They don't. They don't ruin Masala. They don't ruin all this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Mershah Ali be like Mercia Ali. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

What's the word that white people found that they ran into the ground?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Woke up. Definitely woke. They ran. Y' all ran. Woken.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's not even running to the ground. That's like co opted in a different way. That's it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but y' all still ran it into the ground.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cool word.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all ran. Y' all said woke so much. I wanted to wake up. Like, now everybody wake the up, man. Ain't nothing that is silly.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm trying to think slay, slay or like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, nah, they didn't run. Slay into the.

[Chris]

My. My kids, all they say is slay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Riz is there saying it, but I thought Riz was white people. I never heard Riz. Riz is white. Yeah, Riz is white. String.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, that was.

[Chris]

Started with white. I'm saying slay started like gay gays.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They started with the gay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Anyway, there's terms that, like, white people have been like, oh, this is a thing. And then we're gonna run into the mud. And they're doing that shit with all the Arabic words, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I never heard it say again. I never heard a white person use them.

[Andrew Schultz]

You never heard a white person go, inshallah.

[Taylor]

Me neither.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They'd be like, mursha Ali. I tell you this, man,

[Taylor]

you broke it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, he did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. I swear.

[Andrew Schultz]

I didn't mean. Give me it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen. Give me it. What you mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

Give me the table.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you mean? I couldn't remember what direction I was.

[Andrew Schultz]

Righty tidy, lefty, loosey,

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Iceman is cool, but it's the same old, same old, man.

[Taylor]

That's what I was gonna say too, though. It's not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, hater Drake is chickfila.

[Taylor]

No, not hating, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

You need to listen to maid of honor, because maid of honor Has a lot of different type of music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard that. I heard that. I heard that.

[Andrew Schultz]

That one is like. Oh, he heard all the albums.

[Chris]

I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know. Some of them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, I haven't heard album. I heard that. That's. It's the verse.

[Andrew Schultz]

Some of them I songs, it's like summer songs. It's club songs. Like, that's if you just want to vibe out and have fun. You want rapping bars, bars. You got Iceman. You want the slow R and B stuff, you got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How beef you got some. Listen, I like. I like when Drake raps. You know what I'm saying? But once again, I'm just. I can listen to Drake one time and be cool with it, you know? I'm not revisiting the music.

[Taylor]

They're trying to say, though, that he's still not suing Kendrick. It's the. It's the United.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ah, tomato, tomato. Ok. Who gives a fuck? It's like Khaled. Before and after. Pictures look the same. Ain't nobody cares. All right? Like, get the fuck out of here. You know what I'm saying? Like, whatever. Okay? You shouldn't have sued at all. It was no reason to sue. And once again, man, y' all gonna. I will never let nobody know they got to me. The way fucking Drake lets the world know Kendrick got to him.

[Andrew Schultz]

But he's sensitive, man. His whole vibe has been sensitive for the last fucking two decades.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can't be the Iceman. To be sensitive, you gotta be cold for real. Okay?

[Andrew Schultz]

Like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your heart gotta be cold for real.

[Andrew Schultz]

I like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, if you gonna be the Iceman. Unless, of course, your inspiration is the Iceman superhero Bobby Drake. Because he's gay. Okay?

[Andrew Schultz]

Maybe that's what he's mentioning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm saying he's putting out. He's gay. Okay. You know, crack is back.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just glaze. Just glaze, Yo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Maybe Greatest sketch I've seen in the last decade. My two thirds. That was crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's go get your glaze on.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, that was fire. It was a couple of parts that were funny. That was. You could admit there was a couple parts that were funny. Second best shoe sketch ever made.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, what's the first?

[Andrew Schultz]

Me and Charlemagne with the Jordans.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was fire.

[Andrew Schultz]

Probably could never put that sketch out now you know why. Sketch will be taken off the air immediately.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This commercial disgust me.

[Taylor]

What was the point of it?

[Andrew Schultz]

What was the point of that commercial we just watched?

[Taylor]

What was the market?

[Andrew Schultz]

What? Yeah, tell me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This commercial disgust.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, don't let it. Don't let another man affect me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't matter. You know why it disgusts me? It disgusts me because this is how y' all really be acting when it comes to Drake and everything Drake does.

[Andrew Schultz]

Are you saying y' all as in me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, y'. All, Man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Owls. Nah, I fuck with the commercial. It's a good commercial. You know what I like about this commercial?

[Andrew Schultz]

Owls unite.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Andrew Schultz]

No, of course not. Can't do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because everybody in this room knows that if Victor Wimbiana Wembanyana was from Detroit, Michigan.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. He'd be 5. He'd be 5 7. Because he'd been eating Monsanto vegetables his whole life. You need that French food that your.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where was Sean Bradley from? The future. Whoever the. All I'm saying is if he grew up in Detroit, Michigan, that was a

[Andrew Schultz]

country fat boy right there. Sean Bradley.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I'm saying. He was like 7 6.

[Andrew Schultz]

But that's, that's like Ohio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, whatever. If Victor was from anywhere in America,

[Andrew Schultz]

they would go in the league, give it the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His cultural cachet would be through the roof. We never seen no shit like that. Motherfucker. He's got the right now. He's got the perfect fucking thing, right? They call him the alien. Yeah, they just put out the files two weeks ago. Yeah, where the commercials where people are spotting him like a ufo, you know what I mean? Where the crop circle commercials. Guess what? They got him. I had no idea. I was having this conversation this week with somebody and they was like, nah, he got commercials. They showed me commercials from two years ago with these same angles and we don't even know about them. At least I've never seen them. You ever seen the victim with me on the crop circle commercial where they zoom out and it's like his logo in the field?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no, I haven't seen it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They aired a commercial the other night during the first game and went to conference finals where it was like, alien sighted. Alien sighted.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nobody's even talking about it because they're not doing it right. You gotta have him jumping over the border wall. That's the alien. That's the alien. That actually would work, I think. If you had him jumping over the border wall, you don't think that that would go crazy viral?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what's so crazy? That's the reason it's not working, because he's not from here. So he's really an alien. He's just a legal one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? So it's not resonating. It's not connecting. It's just something about not being from America that for, like, shy and fucking Victor. But especially Victor, bro. The league should be theirs.

[Andrew Schultz]

Jokic, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If Jokic was from Kansas.

[Andrew Schultz]

Forget it, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get the yellow brick road. Forget it. What?

[Andrew Schultz]

Forget it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's my point. It's just such. We've never seen anything like Winbiana. Do you remember Shaq when he first came into the league? Yeah, hype city. LeBron James when he first came into the league. Hype City. City. They transcended basketball. Now, anybody who watches basketball will tell you no. You know, they're the best on the court, but I'm talking about people that transcend basketball. Do you know who Victor Wimbiana is, Taylor?

[Taylor]

No.

[Andrew Schultz]

No. But is it. Isn't it nice that it's not a racial thing for once?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's never when it comes to basketball. Never, never, never. When it comes to basketball, Never, Never.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, there was a little.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's always the 70s.

[Andrew Schultz]

Race plays a part in everything. But what I'm saying is in this specific thing, irregardless of their race, right? You got, like, the white guy, Jokic. You have black dude, shy. And then you have Wembignano, who's. I. Looks black at least. Maybe he's mixed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's definitely black.

[Andrew Schultz]

But, like a French black.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whatever. The. I don't.

[Andrew Schultz]

It doesn't matter. They're not from here, you know? And Ant would have the league. And would have the league.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He would. But not like Victor.

[Andrew Schultz]

He would have the league. If he got a vasectomy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We've seen Ant before.

[Andrew Schultz]

If he got a vasectomy, he'd have the league.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We've seen Ant before, though. Like, Ant can be compared to the Jordans.

[Andrew Schultz]

He would have to lose because he's an American is what I'm trying to say. His incredibly charismatic personality. His game is unbelievable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it's gotta be something we've never seen before, though. Cause think about it. When LeBron. LeBron was such a phenom, like LeBron was on sports Illustrated when. Fucking middle school, high school type of shit. Like, you never seen anything like that, Steph.

[Andrew Schultz]

We haven't seen anything like that.

[Chris]

Let me ask you a question, then. Shouldn't Brunson be much bigger than he is? Because at this point, he's the best player in the Eastern Conference. He's in the biggest market.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's two teams left.

[Chris]

He's the best player.

[Andrew Schultz]

Here's the thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not the best player in Eastern Conference.

[Andrew Schultz]

Here's the thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With Giannis. As a Sixers fan right now, it

[Chris]

pains me to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, the last two teams left.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Is that what you're trying to say? Like, he's the best player in the Eastern Conference finals or the entire Eastern Conference?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love Jalen Brunson, but Donovan Mitchell and James Harden are very comparable. Like, they.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're not James anymore.

[Chris]

Done.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You take Brunt. You take Brunson over Mitchell. Donovan Mitchell.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it's easy to say that now until he. Because he's winning.

[Andrew Schultz]

But what I would say is this. Jalen Brunson is the best player in the Eastern Conference. Sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait a minute now, hold on. Because of the last two teams left. Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Giannis.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What are you talking about?

[Chris]

I gotta be honest. You kind of have to put him in that combo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. You put him in. Yes, but not the best player in.

[Andrew Schultz]

Eric.

[Chris]

He's going to be, in all likelihood, the best player on the team. That comes out of the Eastern Conference regardless.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay?

[Chris]

So let's pull back in the biggest media market.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's one of the biggest. He's one of the best players here. Here's the one issue about Jalen. His. He's so fucking good. I don't even think when people watch, they get why he's good. Like his game is. This is going to go super glaze right here. He's not fast like at all, but he's so intelligent that he uses your body's movement against you. He's so. He gets you moving in directions and he can make up for the fact that he doesn't have speed by using his weight and getting ahead of you, leaning back on you like he is.

[Chris]

Now be honest though. Yeah, he's unethical. He throws himself into people a lot. He's a real foul baiter in that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let's not be gay. This is the Knicks now. We're talking about the Knicks right now. Okay.

[Chris]

I think he's a fantastic player. There were three plays last night where he absolutely threw himself backwards in the people.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sure. The point I'm trying to make is he is maximizing everything that he has

[Chris]

and that should be relatable because he has a game and a body.

[Andrew Schultz]

But that's not how people play people. People don't want a relatable game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Andrew Schultz]

They want a game that is completely unrelated.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

But they don't like bigs. Nobody's ever like. It's very hard to market a sneaker after a big. Like if you look at sneakers that do. Well, it's all guards. Right. Maybe you get into like small forward territory.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But like, what about when you are big that can play like a guard? Like Victor Wimble. Be honest.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, the Victor might have it. But like for example, none of us are going, damn, I want Victor Wenana's

[Charlamagne Tha God]

game, cuz he's not American.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, and he's also 76.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. So it's like you want AI's game, you want a guy who's 5 11.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah. You can't really.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know what I mean? And then you're like, man, that's. You want Steph's game. This guy's 62, 64, whatever the he is, but he's just balling on everybody. That's the Isaiah Thomas. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It feel if the level, even though it's not feels attainable.

[Andrew Schultz]

It just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you shoot from half court once and it goes in, you're like, whoa, I'm Steph.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

But it's not only attainable, it's just like the type of game you would want. Whereas I think. I think with Jalen, I think when people watch, they don't even realize what he's doing. When he has the ball, he's not just blowing by you, he's getting by you. He's holding you off. He's finding the tiniest little window to get a shot of the angles. Dude, it's unbelievable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'll be honest with you. I prefer Shaq's game, though. Just be so big and dominant, you just get around the rim and just dunk on people.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but how many times you buy Shaq sneakers once you were down that bad?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, man, One of them Shaqs was all right. The ones that had the colors. Yeah, it was Reebok. The one that had the shack where he's hanging on it. It's like. It was like the colors of the Orlando Magic, I believe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Payless ones.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, nah, it was before he had

[Andrew Schultz]

a Reebok deal, if I'm not mistaken.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, Rebok.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then he went and did the Payless.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he had Reebok before, but, yeah, I used to like that game. But I'm just saying, if Victor was from fucking anywhere in America, bro, this

[Chris]

is, what, 30 years, then he wouldn't be Victor.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why not?

[Chris]

Because a lot of what makes him successful is his lifestyle, his approach. You know, he has a very European approach.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's Kevin Durant.

[Chris]

He just steps to bed at 10 o' clock every night. He's not on social media. He has a special diet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris, you think that these players here don't have discipline? You think these guys didn't have special diets?

[Chris]

I think there's a difference between a fighter.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think Kobe didn't have a special Kobe Bryant?

[Chris]

Where did Kobe learn his skills? Europe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Philly.

[Chris]

No, Europe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Stop it with that. Stop it with that. Stop it with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

LeBron don't have discipline.

[Andrew Schultz]

Italy, LeBron, you gonna tell me next that the Italians are good at making pizza?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

LeBron don't have discipline. Chris, you think you and that discipline.

[Chris]

But I think, as a rule, players who come up through the AAU system are cut from a different cloth than people who come through the U.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why we never get the NBA back, yo. We never get it back, yo. We never get it back. Y' all just wanna give every fucking piece of credit to foreigners. Why we can't build a wall around the NBA, yo? Why The. No, I don't want that. Your point? Cuz all somebody going to edit and play. Why we can't build a wall.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on, come on. Come back, baby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come back. We open it up to straight of our moves. Come back.

[Chris]

Did you go to the game last night?

[Andrew Schultz]

I. I didn't want to jinx it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I went to it.

[Chris]

All right, so how.

[Andrew Schultz]

I watched the whole game and it was the most amazing game I've ever seen in my entire life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was. It was a phenomenal game. I can't.

[Chris]

I would say Oklahoma City as a part of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop that. Yo, you've seen a lot of games, bro. That wasn't the most amazing game you've ever seen.

[Andrew Schultz]

Most amazing game I ever seen in my Balamain.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I watched it. It was great.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've watched a lot of bathroom. Y' all have.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's two games that I remember vividly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Willis Reed.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, what? This one. This will. I will never forget this game. And that comeback. And then Andrew Schultz versus Jason Williams. Those two games are the greatest athletic performances that have ever existed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, listen. You know last night, all my. All my texts, all my group chats. Yo, Brunson on some Jordan shit right now. So what does that tell you? We've seen other games that were better. Okay. This was great, though. It was great. All right.

[Andrew Schultz]

How old are this group chat?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's all damn near 40, 45 plus. Yeah, absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

Absolutely. I hate these youngins talking about Jordan.

[Chris]

Nick's game was great. Spurs, Oklahoma was a better game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

And you have to understand we're watching it as Knicks fans, so that adds a whole different emotional team.

[Chris]

It's the greatest game. But as impartial observer, you almost was a little better.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sure, I completely get someone who doesn't have an attachment to the Knicks, but when you looking at this and you like the entire year we're playing well and you're just waiting for the moment where the ball is going to drop. You're like, we're going to fuck it at some point. And then game one at home, you're like, we're down 420. We're like, all right, here's the moment. Everything I thought that might happen, that these. These horrible thoughts creeping into my head, it's true. And then they go on this comeback and Jalen Brunson just devours James Harden. James Harden was a lockdown defender at one point in time. Do you remember James Harden?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, I've never seen that in my life. James Harden ever said that.

[Chris]

James Harden Was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ever since then, ever.

[Andrew Schultz]

James Harden, okc. Six, man. Remember he was coming off the bench.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody ever said, james Harden, lockdown. He couldn't play defense to save his life. Talking about.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, not basketball teams.

[Chris]

Underrated post defender. That's about it.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, not basketball.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

James Harden been out here raw dog, unprotected, bro. You can nut all in. James Harden ain't defense. James Harden, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

OkC. James Harden lockdown defender. Nah, nah, nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Telling you that never happened.

[Andrew Schultz]

Y' all just don't know basketball. If you don't know basketball, that's fine. Let's just have that comment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what happened then?

[Chris]

James Harden happened.

[Andrew Schultz]

He got old. He got old.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't never remember this.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's parties.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's at Magic City.

[Andrew Schultz]

The guy likes to go out. And we told the hoes in New York, hey, drain them. I put out a fucking bat signal to the hoes in New York. I said, listen, these guys are coming from a place that doesn't have parties, it doesn't have restaurants. It has nothing. They're going to come to this city. They're going to want to indulge. We did let them indulge.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I definitely picked the Knicks to go to the Finals. Remember last year? We was like, tyrese Halliburton is hurt. Fucking. I think Giannis was injured at the beginning of the season. Jayson Tatum was out for the season. Even if they were there, the Knicks had a straight path. That's why Bron should have went to Cleveland this year.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, that would have been crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He should have went. He should have. He should have. Nobody's going to bypass 50ms. Even though I would think if you're a billionaire, you would. But he got 50. 50ms. From the Lakers. But if he would have bypassed it, he could have opted out, signed to the fucking Cavs. Boom. I think he does that this year, though. I think he goes back to Cleveland for his last year.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's your swan song. It's the best. It's literally the best scenario for him.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, you gave them a chip, you owe them nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's home. It's for your last. You go back for your last year,

[Andrew Schultz]

you move out of Cleveland, it's not home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, it'd be the. And. And. And they're still going to be good next year. They got James Harden, they got Donovan Mitchell. You go there, you compete. You go to the Eastern Conference finals

[Andrew Schultz]

next year, Harden might have to retire, bro. Seeing what I mean, Mike Brown even said it. I don't know if you Guys saw the post game, but they're like, were you targeting James Harden? Like, sometimes teams target Jalen Brunson. He was like, yeah, that's exactly what we were trying to do. Like, they were creating screen switch offs so that Jalen would just consume James Harden and James couldn't do nothing about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was like the last seven minutes of the game.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was when we made our 20 point come out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's my point. Like, they was up 22. You can't say they got. It was up 22 before that happened.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, well, they should have started that strategy early.

[Chris]

He sold on offense, too. It wasn't just offense.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he couldn't get a bucket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was tired.

[Chris]

I was texting with a Knicks fan when the cavs were up 20. He's like, We've lost this one. I was like, trust me. I've seen the James Harden movie before. He will fall apart going down.

[Andrew Schultz]

You want to know how superstitious I am? We're down fucking 20 something. Okay. Charlotte, my wife comes in, we start getting to an argument about something.

[Taylor]

It.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right. I'm already pissed because the Knicks are losing. Now my wife is arguing with me about some. All of a sudden, during this argument, we start coming back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Keep the argument going, baby.

[Andrew Schultz]

I. I stretched that out. We were arguing about for four years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

I sacrificed my relationship.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

That's why they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Game two. You got to start first quarter. You know what I'm saying? First quarter be like, in another thing,

[Andrew Schultz]

I was busting out all this shit. How many nannies do we need?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, you're at home anyway.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How many nannies we need? Damn. So how.

[Chris]

How tough are the tickets? Well, we know how tough they're going to be, but how hot a ticket will it be if they make the finals? Listen, is that going to be the toughest ticket?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the best matchup? Is it. Is it New York, OKC or New York?

[Chris]

Well, there are people who say OG is a good matchup for Wemb. Kind of see what they're saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So nobody's a good matchup for Wimpy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, here's the thing. Here's the thing. This is. Can I give you the delusional Knicks take or the irrational Knicks take?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay. Nobody's a good matchup for Wemby. We agree, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

The Knicks happen to have tall mobile guys, so you can throw Mitchell Robinson at him. Mitchell Robinson is a guy who can defend a big Like Wemby at the three point line if he needs to. Kat is a lazy defender, but he is a guy who is, like, capable if he wants. He's very capable if he wants to. And I imagine he's going to have some ego going into that game. Everybody's saying, this is the nicest guy. Fuck that. Let's go. So to me, I'm like, we have two guys that we can throw at Wemby. You're not going to contain Wemby, but you can at least take a little pressure off.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's only one. I think the best way to defend Wemby is beat him up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yep, beat him up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's got to beat him up, yo. You got to send two guys in there, like, everybody beat this dude up. Yep, beat him the up. That's the best thing you can do. Because I'm gonna tell you something that I saw in Victor the other night. Victor got some killer in him, bro. He got some killer. He got that.

[Chris]

That three was scary, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he. It's the look in his eyes, like he was mad that Shy got the mvp.

[Andrew Schultz]

But that's not a. That's not a. Like, have the French ever won a war? You got to take them into the trenches is what I'm trying to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We about to see now. This is it. But that's what I'm saying. We gonna see. This is the next series.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're going up against a Canadian kid, with all due respect, he's not gonna throw an elbow in your chest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what they need, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come to New York City. It's gonna be a very different type of game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what you got. That's what we need.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a very different type of game,

[Charlamagne Tha God]

and it's gonna be interesting.

[Chris]

Threw an elbow in New York resident Nas Reed's chin the other day.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who did?

[Chris]

Wemby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wemby threw it out. Kicked off the game. Yeah. It was an accident, though. Let's not act like he meant to.

[Chris]

No, he meant to do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. He's tall as shit. He just don't even know his body. He liked that shit in front of the fucking tax stores, you know what I'm saying? He's still learning his fucking body. I'll tell you what, though. The reason I want the spurs to win this series is because I need to see if the theory that a foreigner cannot be the face of the league stands true. Because if Wemby beats okc, comes to New York, national stage, biggest media market. This alien dominates like we know he can, but still, still they not like, yo, that's the guy. That guy's leading the NBA into the future. Even though he is going to lead that man in the future. But I'm talking about transcends basketball. If a Spurs, Knicks series can't make Wemby transcend basketball, I don't think nothing can.

[Andrew Schultz]

If it's Knicks, Spurs, I think it's Knicks in five against the Spurs. Nah, I don't even think it will be difficult.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can you name another guy on the Spurs?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Dylan Harper.

[Chris]

Stefan Castle. Who beat with Brunson?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dylan Harper. Fucking Darren Fox.

[Andrew Schultz]

What you want on Brunson is you want Maxi.

[Chris]

No, Maxi can't guard.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not about guard. Like what you want make him work

[Chris]

on the other end.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schultz]

You want to make him work on the other end. Right. And they'll switch you off, they'll do art, but you want to make him work on the other end and then you want a guy that's going to pick him up 94ft, which is Castle. Right. Because the thing with Brunson is, and this is why I think what they'll do is have someone else bring up the ball is nice. As Brunson is in the half court offense, he doesn't have the breakaway speed to bring up the ball 94ft. He can do it, but he's going to have to pivot four or five times, going to take six seconds off the fucking shot clock. And now you're in your offense late. And that's what Indiana did brilliantly. Remember what Indiana did, where it's just like in the half court offense, you can't stop him. But they made him take eight seconds to get up the court. So then they just started letting Bridges bring it up or whoever bring it up. But I think if you have a speedy guard that's just going to pester on defense and then against him, someone who's just going to attack nonstop and drain them. There's a, there's a potential situation there. They need to unblock Oakley, let Oakley back in the Garden.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can he still block from the Garden? The is he going?

[Andrew Schultz]

I thought I saw him there the other day. I'm pretty sure he's still blocked.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's up, man. Because they got a nice little Knicks roll where it'd be like tickets or they're free. They who?

[Chris]

It's probably when you see like Ewing and Starks and Sprewell, I would hope they get comped. They get comped.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would hope so.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, how the fuck would you

[Charlamagne Tha God]

charge them Knicks Legends?

[Chris]

Because those are tickets that probably would go for what, 10 grand?

[Andrew Schultz]

They're comp.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but it's just something about seeing them in the building, man. You know what I mean? Rooting for the, like, it's just that gives everybody different energy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Floor almost is. Is comped.

[Chris]

Oh, really? The celebrity row, too?

[Andrew Schultz]

Definitely the celebrity row, but almost everybody. I mean, there are a few seats that people, like, pay for, but if

[Charlamagne Tha God]

you perform at halftime, you get tickets. I know that. Oh, like fab. Got tickets last night.

[Chris]

Do you think the Knicks reserve more celebrity comp seats than a normal NBA team?

[Andrew Schultz]

Absolutely.

[Chris]

Just because there's such.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Probably la.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's a whole lot going up there that, like, there's a place where you sit, you hang out, you can get food, you go there before the game and you go there during halftime. And it's just everybody who's in celebrity row.

[Chris]

But is that also season ticket holders or just the celebrity they don't sell?

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, in my understanding, they might have like a handful of courtside season tickets

[Chris]

that they sell them. That's a guy who's the head of a hedge fund or some.

[Andrew Schultz]

Or somebody who, like, knows Dolan or knows the Knicks for like decades. I don't think you're coming in and going, I want to get that seat. Because it's probably more valuable to them to just make sure that they can take care of all the celebrities and all the different people that are helping out in different various things.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What does that matter anymore?

[Andrew Schultz]

What about Spike? You think Spike Lee pays for the ticket? He might.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mike pays for his ticket?

[Andrew Schultz]

He might.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But.

[Andrew Schultz]

But it's like they're allowing him to pay for it and there might be some arrangement where it's like you can't sell them on the secondary market. So if you're not going to do it, you let us buy it back for you and then we'll sell.

[Chris]

He's also had those probably since the 90s.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly.

[Chris]

Wasn't as. Because that's the thing about Woody Allen. Another example, courtside seats.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, let's say that Woody in. Yeah, he's innocent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just like mj, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Michael Jackson is definitely innocent.

[Taylor]

What's going on with Trump then? Why is he not doing it?

[Andrew Schultz]

Why. Why do you think?

[Taylor]

Just saying. It's ridiculous.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, you're right. It is ridiculous.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Huh?

[Andrew Schultz]

She's like, why is.

[Taylor]

Why isn't Trump doing the same thing as. As Epstein? Wait, wait.

[Andrew Schultz]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't understand what you.

[Andrew Schultz]

I thought you're saying why isn't he arresting people?

[Taylor]

That too. Or the other.

[Andrew Schultz]

Other.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's the President of the United States.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but no one you can yourself.

[Chris]

Massie Massey has some theories on that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, he does.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did Massie say? They got Matthew the up out of here yesterday. About what he say? What do you say?

[Chris]

Chris said there's a group of businessmen who made it their business to make sure that Trump never lets that information get out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I believe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Of course.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I believe that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Of course he's one of them.

[Taylor]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not like this anonymous group. Oh, well, yeah.

[Chris]

Trump being part of that cabal of businessmen, but. Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. I mean, there's only one reason why I wouldn't want this out is because he's implicated.

[Taylor]

But do you think even if it was out, would it even matter?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you mean?

[Taylor]

I don't think if we got all the files of Trump doing all that stuff, I don't think it would make a difference.

[Andrew Schultz]

Does he make music? That's the only time that we can look another way is if he makes music. He doesn't make it.

[Taylor]

But you don't. But he's already been convicted of something and he still hasn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think people look away when you're a powerful person and they feel like there's nothing they can do anyway, no matter how many times you tweet. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

You can protest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody get like, you can't. You can't do anything.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like right now, 1.1 Congressman out there in Kentucky asking for disclosure for the Epstein files. $30 million they spend against him, and then he's immediately kicked out. That's gotta be. I mean, like, how do you not. I mean, how do you not get disheartened in that, like, what the fuck is going on?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's been going on. That's not. That's nothing new. That's what they do. They did that to fucking Cori Bush. They did that to Jamal Bowman. That's what they do. You know what I'm saying? Like, the craziest thing in the world to me right now is the fact that $1.7 billion of taxpayer money is going to. To an anti weaponization compensation fund for people who feel they were wronged by the Biden administration. So if you are a 1-6- insurrectionist or if you were targeted by Russia, collusion, Donald Trump, if we saying you don't have nothing to do with it,

[Andrew Schultz]

is it too late for me to say I was there? I mean, how can they prove you weren't there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

But this 1.6 billion is. That's better than Covid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you know what? That. You know what? That's. You know what? Listen to this shit, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Listen to his defense right into his pocket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen to this defense of this shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

The Justice Department has this new fund

[Charlamagne Tha God]

that was announced today, $1.7 billion.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why should taxpayers pay for the January.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's been very well received. I have to tell you, I know very little about it. I wasn't involved in. In the whole creation of it and, and the negotiation. But this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated. Horribly treated. It's anti. Weaponization. They've been weaponized. They've been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have. They've gone bankrupt, Their lives have been destroyed, and they turn out to be right. I mean, it was a terrible period

[Andrew Schultz]

of time in the history of our country, and they worked on it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know the Justice Department, it's really been working on it very hard. There's been numerous other occasions over the years where things like this have been

[Andrew Schultz]

done, but these were people that were

[Charlamagne Tha God]

weaponized and really treated brutally by a system that was so corrupt, with corrupt people running it, and they're getting reimbursed for their legal fees and the other things that they had to suffer.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, it's. You know, it's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can I add a little cherry to that, please? The Justice Department on Tuesday expanded the just announced settlement of President Donald Trump's lawsuit over the leaking of his tax returns. They include a pledge that the IRS will no longer pursue any claims it may have against Trump, his family members, and his companies over unpaid taxes.

[Andrew Schultz]

So, first of all, going back to this one, one of the unfortunate things about this one is because in inception, this is not a bad idea when you think about past abuses that the government has rendered on the American public. Like you look at like a cointelpro situation, right? You look at like the Tuskegee. What, a syphilis experiment, whatever like that. Slavery, obviously. Slavery, right.

[Chris]

Like farmers for anywhere.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

War on drugs.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, but exactly. So, like, there are people where. Where the government had been weaponized against them and they incurred huge costs, loss of their jobs, their livelihood, all these things, and they should deserve some sort of restitution for that, right? So, like in inception, this is a good idea, but then we know exactly what this really is. It's just a slush fund for him and his buddies who feel attacked by the administration that was there before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's a slush fund. But I also think that January 6th, rioters, some of them went to prison. He pardoned them like he said he would.

[Chris]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

These people are extremely loyal to him. On top of the pardon, now, I put a little bit of money in your pocket, a whole lot of money in your pocket.

[Andrew Schultz]

Might have to run that back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what happens when I need to call on.

[Andrew Schultz]

I might have to run that back.

[Chris]

I'm gonna give them the money, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know about that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, that's a hilarious take, Chris at a 1.7. You dumb motherfuckers think he's going to pay you? He's not paying you motherfuckers think he's going to pay you?

[Chris]

He'll slide some. A couple people make a big deal up that's going to him and his boys. Anybody who can't see through this shit is an idiot. Listen, I'm sorry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not saying that y' all are wrong.

[Chris]

Fucking idiots.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not saying that y' all are wrong. But I can also see him paying those people for when he needs them again for the midterms. Yep.

[Chris]

He might keep a little off to the side. Right? Look, he's getting $100 million because part of the settlement is they audited him. They saw that he claimed the same losses on two tax returns in a row. They hit him with $100 million penalty. That's gone. On top of that, you can neither now or in the future audit anybody in his family or connected to any of his companies.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you can't. You can't audit.

[Chris]

You cannot.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's what he's saying. Yeah, that's.

[Chris]

So basically, these guys ain't paying fucking taxes.

[Andrew Schultz]

But. But ideally, the next administration can just say no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is what next administration.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, Ideally. Can I say ideally? Can I use the word idea?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Seriously, I need everybody to open their eyes. Okay? Let's stop acting for a minute, Chris. Okay?

[Chris]

Yeah,

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I need everybody to open their eyes. Is anything that he's doing right now letting you know? Yeah, I'm just gonna walk away. I'm just gonna walk away in the midterms. Yeah, we're just gonna give all of this up in 20, 28. Come on, guys. Y' all about to see some shit in America y' all ain't never seen before. And to whatever point we was making earlier about ain't nobody gonna do shit. Ain't nobody gonna do shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, after seeing these retards in Kentucky vote in this latest, I think it was a primary.

[Chris]

It was a primary.

[Andrew Schultz]

Congratulations, guys. Like, for, for a long time I've hated it when people just like, especially like coastal elites just like on, you know, Southern states and they say that they're like dumb and all this other stuff. I hate it. I think it's so stupid. You never even been to these places. How dare you like throw these. I agree, you know, horrible things on these people. And then an election like this comes up and they fall for it. It's just like, congrats, man. You guys lived up to every single stereotype. Did they fall for it said about you?

[Chris]

I'm almost wondering about the legitimacy of this election.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's so brother, brother.

[Chris]

I think it actually so fucking nuts.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think it actually might be that easy. Remember, you're talking about people that are voting in like a primary election. So this isn't even the actual election.

[Chris]

Right? It's not the full turnout. Exactly how many mail in votes were involved in this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But why do y' all expect these red states to ever change?

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not about. It's not. To me, it's not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is not even purple. They don't like these. These states have been, historically, I'm saying

[Chris]

that this Republican backed by Trump somehow cheated a Democratic candidate. I'm talking, I think this, I think Massie was like seven time elected Republican from the state.

[Andrew Schultz]

They spent $30 million.

[Chris]

They spent $32 million.

[Andrew Schultz]

Massey spent a lot too. Massey spent like 16 or something like that.

[Chris]

But did you see the winner's party gathering, the party he had afterwards? There were like 10 people there. It doesn't even feel like a real campaign.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what I'm saying. It's like, yeah, I think you're just dealing with like incredibly low IQ voters who are, you know, loyal to something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Our Dakota MAGA is just as strong. Say, well, code of MAGA is just that strong.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's wrong. When you spend $30 million and are watching AI ads that's saying that Massey's having an affair with AOC. And it's like all this is made up and old people are just seeing it and they're being like, well, I can't support this guy. But it's just like, guys, you gotta open up your eyes. This is what every late night show thinks you are. And you just prove them right.

[Chris]

Incredible. Never seen any shit like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's embarrassing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it is like if you, if

[Andrew Schultz]

you're from there, you're not embarrassed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'll tell you one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just the fucking Interest groups from outside the state. We're not even talking about, like, interest groups within the state. It'd be one thing if there are interest groups within the state. Right.

[Chris]

Well, let's say. Let's say who the interest group was.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, absolutely. It was aipac. Also. Trump and his cronies

[Chris]

in between Mag and aipac. It's fucking crazy. Heggs, whatever the fuck his name is, Hegseth campaigned in Kentucky for the opponent. Think about how crazy that is.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Why? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, Trump endorsed him, but no,

[Chris]

this guy is the Secretary of Defense.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Don't you have something to focus on?

[Chris]

We're allegedly in a war right now, and this guy is campaigning in Kentucky.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you see Trump say that we don't have time for Medicaid. We don't have time. He said, we can't pay Medicaid. And it was something else. Medicaid and something else. He was like, cause we're in a war. So they don't have. I think it was Medicaid and education or something. He was like, we don't have time to pay for that. We're in a war. We can't pay for both.

[Andrew Schultz]

I didn't say that one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But then $1.78 billion, all of a sudden, to go to a bunch of

[Andrew Schultz]

insurrectionists, all of a sudden, there's money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Honestly, this is the thing that should have everybody out in the streets. I don't care what your race is. I don't care what your party is. You should be outraged that $1.7 billion of your money is going to pay for a bunch of insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. Some of them, 33 of them, have been rearrested. Rearrested and charged with other crimes and sent back to prison. Are they eligible for this shit as well? Come on. Come the fuck on, man. And on top of that, another billion dollars of our money going to a ballroom.

[Andrew Schultz]

So what are the Democrats going to do about it? This is the question, right? Because, like, obviously there's. You sit in yap. But the Democrats seem to. They can't even figure out who they are. They're spending all this time trying to trash Hasan Piker. They're trying all this, trying to trash, like, the Bernie Kratz, the progressive movement. And at a certain point in time, you're gonna need to come together if you wanna win anything ever again.

[Chris]

This is the dilemma, right? Cause you can say, you look at Mandani, right? Who won by saying, don't focus on Trump, focus on what we should do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he won in New York. That's an anomaly.

[Chris]

True. But how do you not focus on this stuff?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you not focus on.

[Chris]

How do you not. I mean, this is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This should not be. No.

[Chris]

The most open corruption in the history of America. I agree without question. How do you not talk about this? But then, to Andrew's point, why are they so broken in so many frack? I mean, you know, why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you see what Gavin Newsom said the other day? Gavin Newsom said, this is not something Democrats can be silent. Silent about. The fact he got to say that. The fact that you got a tweet. Let me read. We want to read y'.

[Taylor]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The exact tweet. Go ahead.

[Chris]

Democrats are talking about it. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think the Democrats, at least it seems like they're struggling to figure out their identity. And like the old school mainstream Democrats do not want to embrace the new school progressive Democrats. But the new school progressive Democrats seem to have all the energy. They seem to have the excitement on the street. They seem to have the youth behind them. And it seems like the old school ones are like, hey, you guys are being a little too extreme for us. And we can't exactly go along with your ideas because all of our donors are the same billionaires that donate to the Republicans. So we don't want to piss them off and we don't want to ruffle apex feathers and we don't want to do this on foreign policy. So it's like you have this constant struggle, which I think frustrated a lot of Americans, probably myself included, some of, you know, Bernie for multiple elections. I was like, why do they keep putting their finger on the scale against this guy when the American people want him? What the fuck is going on? And the same thing has happened again and in 2016.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And extreme needed another extreme. And Bernie was 2022.

[Andrew Schultz]

Everybody acts like 2020. It didn't happen as well. It's like all of them dropped out except Elizabeth Warren so she could split the progressive vote with him. She stayed right up into the end. I think Bernie won Iowa or something like that. And then immediately everybody else dropped out except Elizabeth Warren. So, like, this is this. And you could call it Democratic strategy, whatever you want, I don't care. But, like, there was clearly an agenda from the mainstream, you know, Democrats, and they were going to maintain it. And it's just been what frustrated them. Frustrated them with Biden and frustrated them with Kamala being foisted on us. And, like, it's going to continue to happen unless they embrace what the People want and it doesn't seem like they're willing to embrace that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree. Gavin Newsom said Democrats need to be talking more about the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. MAGA is silencing voters and carving up black districts all across the south to hold on to power. This is Jim Crow 2.0. Silence is not an option. The fact that he even got a safe that it's fucked up.

[Chris]

But this gets back to the point I've been making which is I don't think they're being silent. I think what they're saying isn't resonating and maybe part of the reason.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cuz they're not willing to. They're not willing to embrace the. Let's just call it what it is. They're not willing to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Even with the progressives. They had to tell Bernie to say something. Everybody was saying, Bernie, when you go say something about them gutting the Voting Rights act, you're the leader of the progressives, why haven't you said anything? They had to, they had to pressure.

[Chris]

I don't know. I'm on Bernie's mailing list. I get an email from him almost every day. He's saying stuff straight to the point. I think it's the messaging. Even watching Massie last night, who I'm sure I don't know his entire voting record. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff he's voted on that I don't personally agree with. I reacted to his energy cuz he felt like he was really even his line where he's like, hey, I tried to concede to my opponent but I couldn't find him in Tel Aviv. Right. Like he's getting to it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think, I think Matthew, he's getting

[Chris]

to the heart of it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I think Matthew gonna have a great future.

[Chris]

I think he's gonna be fine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And they talk about him running for president.

[Andrew Schultz]

He might actually be able to galvanize support around this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, this could be.

[Chris]

He looked like a guy who knew that better things are coming.

[Andrew Schultz]

He didn't look too smart because he understands that like maybe not in this small fucking PO dunk congressional district is he going to win. But he is tapping into the main

[Chris]

national because somebody like me is watching him and being like, I don't know, he seems to be speaking in a way that's resonating and I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But the only problem, like they talk about him and Ro Khanna, right? Like even running together, the ticket, they just don't have the personality. You still got to have some shebang.

[Andrew Schultz]

You got to have some shebang.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got to have some.

[Andrew Schultz]

You got to have shebang. If you're going against.

[Chris]

I think Massie has a little. Little something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It.

[Andrew Schultz]

Look, it depends who you're going against. Are you going against J.D. or Rubio? You just got to have more shebang than them.

[Chris]

Not hard.

[Andrew Schultz]

If you're going up against.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not true.

[Chris]

Guys, who has. Which of those two guys has.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Here's the thing that y' all fail to realize about those guys, the marketing team around him. And that's exactly what it is. The social media aspect of it all. Like the things that them guys do on social media run circles around the stuff that Democrats do. Now, if you get them in a debate, it's probably a whole different story. But you don't have to be that much. You don't have to do much when you have the machine that they got behind them. J.D. goes on. You know what? J.D. does that all the time. He goes on them Sunday morning shows all the time, and he takes them shots. That's all you gotta do to be able to take the shots. You know, let social media do the rest.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, you're right.

[Chris]

Shots and lie without ever breaking that, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that too.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, what's interesting is like, obviously the money in politics is like a stain on the American history, the stain on American experience. It's like a removal of our ability to have, like an actual say in what happens in our government. It's horrible. What makes it one level even more horrible is when you're not even putting. Using that money to put out ads to defend the things that you care about. So, for example, like, if you're like the gun lobby, right, and you're going to dump millions of dollars in. Let's just say the ad should have to be about what you represent, right? You. You want guns so they can be all pro guns. If you're spending $10 million and the ads are about this guy cheats on his wife, that shouldn't be able to be spent in that way. Right? Because now what you're doing is you're just targeting. And that's what happened with this Massie situation.

[Chris]

Right?

[Andrew Schultz]

Massie wasn't, you know, on board with certain foreign policy stuff. Obviously, support of Israel, and AIPAC is going to spend $9 million to get him out of there. To me, but if you're going to spend $9 million to get him out of it, all those ads have to be about that exact thing. And then those people that are Responding to those ads will at least be able to make a decision based on what you really want and care about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. So listen, Schultz is right. You know what I'm saying? But if you're. If you're the opposition, if you're Democrats, do you do what you're supposed to do and focus on the actual issues, or do you got to focus on the shit that's going to get motherfuckers being like, nah, this motherfucker's a piece of shit.

[Chris]

Well, it's the. It's the Michelle Obama thing, right? We go high. Guess what? It doesn't fucking work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no. But Mamdani wasn't like, we go high. Mamdani was like, I'm going to focus on the issues that people care about, though. And I'm not talking about nothing else besides that. And I think the person that will win in the same way that Bernie would have won if they didn't put their thumb on the scale is because he was talking about the issues that people do care about. So once they can organize and go, hey, guys, do we agree on these? These are the issues. Let's focus on them. Then what happened? But right now, it's like. Seems like everybody's kind of grasping at straws.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

About what?

[Andrew Schultz]

The identity of the party.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what's so interesting, though, to show his point? You could still do that. Like, you could. You could still go low by just telling the truth.

[Chris]

Chris, that's true, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All you have to do is talk about these people, support this, and point to all of this shit from Epstein files to.

[Chris]

You don't have to make anything up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't got to make nothing up.

[Andrew Schultz]

They handed you. They handed you your campaign on a silver platter. It's time for you to eat it.

[Chris]

This is not hard, but I'm on social media. I feel like the Iranian Lego spots are better than anything the Democrats do.

[Andrew Schultz]

Both.

[Chris]

Do both.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm so.

[Chris]

Oh, my God.

[Andrew Schultz]

Iranian Lego. They made these, like, Lego meme things that were crazy. They went crazy.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

But I feel like even. Even with the bad record, they still were able to beat Massey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's what.

[Andrew Schultz]

So that's. That's the thing. I'm discouraged. I don't even know what to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, I mean, I wouldn't be discouraged because, I mean, the Democrats have been getting a lot of wins in a lot of places up until, like, last night. So it's like.

[Andrew Schultz]

But look at the gerrymander. Like, that's going to change the whole landscape of things. You see all these no king. These no king protests. Everybody's speaking out and nothing's happening.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm with you. Like, like when I see stuff like this, like, I'm always wondering what's going to make people outraged. What's going to make people react? Right. Like, you know, January 6th made people react because they thought an election was being stolen. George. Watching George Floyd get killed made people

[Andrew Schultz]

react how lying about Biden being alive made people react?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not really.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm in. Let's just be honest with each other right now. People covering up Biden's mental health was massive. Massive.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. I don't think so.

[Andrew Schultz]

It didn't make people react. I think you're talking about like people going out. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. I think, I think it did impact and I think that they felt gaslit and lied to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay. To that point, I think that the people who decided to stay home and not participate at all, I think that was that. I think when you look at the two candidates and I mean, there was polls that showed that Biden Trump was the rematch nobody wanted.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But by the time Biden finally decided to step out after playing with everybody's, you know, emotions for two years and playing with everybody's reality, everybody was like, ah, man, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not interested. You know what? I don't fucking know. My point is this the other coup

[Andrew Schultz]

that happened in D.C. i don't think

[Charlamagne Tha God]

that was a cool. That should have happened. That should have happened.

[Andrew Schultz]

You right, it should have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But maybe I said that two years prior and everybody kicked me my ass

[Andrew Schultz]

much earlier so you could honor the democratic process. That would have been nice. We live in a democracy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said that. Christmas of 2023.

[Andrew Schultz]

You said it earlier. You got ripped apart.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ripped apart, ripped. I mean, treated my asshole like a fucking nevermind. But all I'm saying is this right here should motherfucking have people in the streets, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With the way the economy is right now and how financially fucked people are, 1.7 billion of your tax dollars is going to an anti weaponization compensation fund for people who feel like they were wrong by the Biden administration. I feel like I was wrong by the Biden administration. Okay. Am I entitled? What does compensation look like?

[Chris]

Of course, all this is, is weaponization though. I mean, that's the Trump strategy, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Chris]

Do something and then project it onto somebody else.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Project it onto something else.

[Chris]

Right.

[Taylor]

So what should we do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think he's the People, I personally feel like he paid his goons off. Y' all say y' all don't think they getting none of this money. I think he paid his goons off because every. Every plan is on deck for the midterms.

[Chris]

Chris, he's got a little set aside for that, sure. But you think he's gonna give $1.7 billion to regular people? Get the fuck out of here.

[Andrew Schultz]

To me, this one isn't even that crazy. Compared to that, you can never look into me or any of my family members or our friends.

[Chris]

Taxes, they're both nuts.

[Andrew Schultz]

But to me, the idea that the government is handing out money to the idea that people in government are finding a way to, like, extract wealth from government is not a foreign idea to the American people, unfortunately. It's very unfortunate, but it's not foreign. What is foreign is that there are certain people that are going to be immune to the law. We would like to believe that that's foreign. And then passing some form of legislation where you're not even allowed to look into it, to me, is almost like an admission of guilt.

[Chris]

A president would never want to support that.

[Andrew Schultz]

If you said to your girl, hey, I want you to sign this paperwork right here that says you can never look into my phone and past text messages when I was in Las Vegas, what do you think she's gonna say, right? She's gonna be like, well, what the fuck happened in Vegas? Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And this the same man who told y' all last week he don't care about America's financial situation. He literally said that shit. I don't think about American financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing. You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's right. That's a perfect statement. So make it again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

After telling y' all that he was going to fix the economy on day one and that he was going to win, that he won the election with one word, groceries. He never told you that he didn't care if y' all could afford something.

[Andrew Schultz]

So what's the message? What's the messaging for Democrats? You think that will be successful?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know.

[Chris]

Well, how about I really do this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't. I don't know.

[Chris]

To me, there seem to be two issues that are driving, creating the wedge that you're talking about in the Democratic Party, right? It's identity politics and Israel.

[Andrew Schultz]

What about identity politics?

[Chris]

Well, the sense that the more towards the center you get, there seems to be a concession among.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris, that Senate shit is dead.

[Chris]

No, no, I think there is a center.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's not. Well, you don't think so?

[Andrew Schultz]

Get it out. Get it out.

[Chris]

What I was saying is, I think there's an idea that identity politics is a losing policy for Democrats. Right. The more they talk about pronouns, trans,

[Andrew Schultz]

whatever it is, they all took their pronouns out their bio. They knew that shit.

[Chris]

Okay, so maybe that's not on the table then. The other one is Israel. Right. Because you have the far left who's very anti Israel right now. And then to Andrew's point, you have a lot of politicians at the top of the party who are still very closely aligned with Israel because they're not

[Andrew Schultz]

trying to get masked.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all are complicating this shit, man. Back to Andrew's point earlier, Even though it's just New York, if you can convince people that you're putting more money in their pocket and you can keep them safe, you will galvanize folks. That's why I say there's no such thing as a sinner. Sadly, being on the extreme is simply saying, yes, man, motherfuckers should have affordable healthcare. Yes, yes, people should have affordable housing. Yes, we need to increase the motherfucking minimum wage.

[Chris]

So here's my question. Trump sold that dream by keeping you safe from immigrants, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep.

[Andrew Schultz]

How do the. How do the Democrats sell it?

[Chris]

Keeping you safe from billionaires.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. And that's happening right now.

[Chris]

That should be the message.

[Andrew Schultz]

So. So the Democrats have to become the party that's anti billionaire, right? Uh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, you can't do that with me.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who funds the party?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, one of your biggest ones, one of your biggest advocates that people were saying, oh, should run for president. What was he doing this week?

[Andrew Schultz]

Who, Cuban?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. What was he doing? I mean, I got 3,000 at the White House.

[Andrew Schultz]

What I would say with that is that if you're aligned with someone on getting cheaper prescription drugs to the American people, I can understand why you would feel compelled to do that without supporting literally everything else that was happening also. Yeah, we don't like that either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But by the way, I don't care. I understand politics. You know what I'm saying? So I don't get mad when people go and do these things. I'm just simply saying a billionaire is going to always be a billionaire. That's all I'm talking about.

[Chris]

I'm not even talking about. I'm talking about the musks. The Bezos is the guys on this level who are driving the AI Did

[Taylor]

y' all hear what Bezos said?

[Chris]

What did he say?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, about the New York City schools?

[Taylor]

Yeah, I guess, like, with the teachers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's like you could always say, even if you tax us.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's true. I mean, no, he was talking about, like, the cost of, like, he's like, if Amazon was run like, like the New York City school system was, you

[Charlamagne Tha God]

still couldn't pay all the teachers or some like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, he said, like, your package would take six weeks to get there and it wouldn't even be the package that you ordered. Like, that's what it was.

[Taylor]

I thought.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me see. I saw. I saw the quote.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's right here. Let me see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he said doubling his taxes would not help a teacher in Queens. Yeah, that's what it was. We'll talk about, you know, making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens not pay taxes? Why somebody at all? Why is some. Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year paying more than

[Andrew Schultz]

a thousand dollars a month in taxes?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Word.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a thousand dollars a month.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That could help with rent or groceries or anything. And so. And, and by the way, do you

[Andrew Schultz]

know what that all adds up to?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The. The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It's only 3%. We can find 3%.

[Andrew Schultz]

So we don't have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And really, it's.

[Andrew Schultz]

The more I thought about it, to me, it's kind of absurd that we're doing this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, we shouldn't be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Watches Washington. They should be sending her. So pay your fucking share of taxes.

[Chris]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can get both. Exactly. Pay your fucking fair share of taxes. Pay your workers, you know, a livable wage so the nursing queens don't have to pay no fucking taxes.

[Taylor]

You could clearly tell he got something done, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And don't let us middle class people have to pay no taxes either. Show.

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't you dare.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't let that.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, don't. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. I'm tired of thinking we not middle class, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We middle class. That's the wealthy right there. Why do us middle class people have to face that?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes. Hey, Sean. Thank God someone made a billion dollars after we made a million, huh? Thank God. Because if they didn't, they behave.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who said we made a million?

[Andrew Schultz]

You made 200.

[Taylor]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schultz]

You made 200 of them all I'm

[Charlamagne Tha God]

simply saying is, all I'm simply saying is, can us middle class people get a break?

[Andrew Schultz]

I agree. Middle class people, one time for the middle class. Cause we want one break.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can we get a break? You know what's funny about, I think

[Andrew Schultz]

what he's advocating for, he's like, instead of complaining that I'm not paying taxes, no one should pay taxes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what it sounds like, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is my issue. Always when they, when people talk about or like politicians talk about tax and billionaires. If you want to talk about tax of billionaires, you got to present a tax strategy that actually taxes billionaires. What they do is use billionaire as this term. This scapegoat, this, ooh, these are the boogeymen. Right. Nobody makes a billion dollars a year in income. These guys aren't making any money in it. What they're doing is they're a lot of them are taking loans out on their assets. And loans are tax free. Yep. So not only they not paying taxes, they get free money to fucking spend. Right. And then these politicians who know this, by the way, that's why I find it disingenuous. What they do is they go, we're going to tax the billionaires. They end up taxing doctors, they end up taxing lawyers. They end up taxing business owners, radio personnel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And look, the middle class, middle class,

[Andrew Schultz]

middle class will pay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We'll pay it.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't mind paying. I've always said that I would pay over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, that's why I will pay it if I know where my money is going. I don't want to pay for no fucking anti weaponization computation. I don't want to pay for no unjust wars.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't want to pay for that. And I don't want to pay for that. But even if I am down to pay more, if it alleviates any pressure and gives other people options in our

[Charlamagne Tha God]

community, I'm with that. Across the country, I'm with that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not only am I more than happy to do it, I have done it. I have done, I continue to do it. Right. So it's like. But the issue that I have with it is stop saying we're going to tax the billionaires when you know, damn right, your tax structure and the things that you're putting in place don't even affect them. If you actually want to find a way to do it, tax them when they take out loans on their assets, tax the loan they take out of their assets. And all of a sudden you're going to find out that they're going to be making income out of nowhere. You're going to see all this income start popping in because they're going to need to find a way to have money to spend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. And the only thing better than income is pre come.

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the money you get before, like, the actual big check comes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Y' all wouldn't like a little pre come?

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, there's a little bit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He wants some free com.

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't you, Al, want to come?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just a little bit, you know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, Al, what do you want that income?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's pay some bills, man. Let's pay some bills. Brilliant. Fucking idiots, man. Speaking of crazy world we live in.

[Taylor]

Speaking of income.

[Andrew Schultz]

Taylor, bring up the Chevaldi's clip, will you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He gonna try to keep getting that one off.

[Taylor]

I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I mean, he. He literally is gonna keep trying to shove that one down our throats. This episode is brought to you by Netflix. The four seasons is back for season two.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, Very cool thing. Coming up June 4th, we are doing the Life paddle Classic here in New York. All the proceeds are going to be going to raise money for this IVF charity that I work with called Baby Quest Neurogum. Shout out to Neurogum, man. They got involved in there helping us put this thing on, and it's absolutely amazing. And we have the Andrew Schultz and Neuro dad bundle, right? So everybody that buys the Andrew Schultz Neuro dad Bundle, all the proceeds are going to go to families that are trying to go through ivf. And it's incredibly expensive process. My wife and I know deeply about it. It's why it's something that we try to do things and support as much as we possibly can. So if you even go to neurogum.com pages Schultz, if you're not able to come to the event, you can go and you can, you know, buy some. Some dad bundles right there and, you know, help us raise some money. There's even a donation page there if you want to donate. But we're going to do this tournament. It's going to be absolutely amazing. And I'm just really stoked to raise some money for Baby Quest, man. They're a phenomenal organization. Also, June 5 and 6, I'm going to be in Virginia beach doing shows. And then I will be. August 8th, I will be in Halifax, Nova Scotia doing a show with Cam Patterson from snl. Lucas Zelnick, Mark Gagnon. That's going to be a crazy show for the great outdoors fest out there. So grab tickets to those and Charlamagne, what you got?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We just announced the Mental Wealth Expo. It's not till October. It's World Mental Health Day, but, you know, this is Mental Health Awareness Month right now, so we just wanted to announce it early. Why not? The Mental Wealth Expo this year is gonna be different, though, because it is a day of mental health solutions and tools for change. I feel like when we have this conversation about mental health, like, we're past the conversations about eradicating the stigma, you know what I mean? We're past the conversations about, you know, just raising awareness. I just feel like everybody needs to focus on solutions and actual resources right now. So salute to my good sister, Debbie Brown, man. She is curating everything this year, and that's all we've been talking about. Solutions, solutions, solutions. What are the solutions and tools for change? So World mental Health Day, October 10th at the Joe and Diane Bloom Wellness and Event center in Newark, New Jersey. That is where it's going to be. And you can go to mentalwealthexpo.com to RSVP. Okay. Mentalwealthexpo.comto RSVP now. Let's get back to the show. Hezekiah Walker.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, you know who I want to salute, man? I want to salute this young man named Curry Barker. Have you heard of Curry Barker?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes. Obsession.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Obsession, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Made the movie Obsession. Did you see the movie?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm going tonight. My daughter loves horror movies. I don't. I hate horror movies. I hate horror movies. I don't like paying people to scare me. But the reason I have to go is because I just want to see what this. What they're calling him. A former YouTuber now named Curry Barker, but he used to be on YouTube, I guess doing like these shorts.

[Andrew Schultz]

Didn't even have a comedy background.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he? I don't know. I just know. I just know he used to be posting on YouTube, I guess posting horror stuff on YouTube that he used to write. And man, he did this film called Obsession, had a production budget of between 750,000 to $1 million. He ran through the festival circuit, sold the focus films for 16 million. And then this weekend at the box office it made $23 million. It is the cheapest film to talk top the box office since 2009, if I'm not mistaken.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think I've seen some. Let me, let me just make sure

[Charlamagne Tha God]

this $1 million budget.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, this is the game changing. This is the game changing. I've seen this guy's sketches, dude.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I'm saying. Hilarious YouTubers.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, hilarious. This is. Okay, so there's a couple things I think are going to change like TV and film.

[Taylor]

Film.

[Andrew Schultz]

There's this movie that Markiplier put out, Iron Lung. Iron Lung.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Iron lung made $50 million on a three to four million dollar budget.

[Andrew Schultz]

Three or four million dollar budget.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was a youtuber.

[Andrew Schultz]

He was a youtuber dot Built up an amazing community audience and then they went out and supported it. And I think an important component to this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Another one. Talk to Me by Danny and Michael Filipu.

[Andrew Schultz]

The Filippo brothers. These are. Yeah, the Australian guys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They took in 92 million on a $4.5 million budget.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah. So like. So a couple things going on. They've been trying to find a way for like making social media stars into, you know, TV and film stars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

And what they thought was they go like, oh, we'll just put them in a TV or a movie or TV show and then people just go watch it. And I think what they're starting to learn is, and sometimes maybe that has Worked maybe other times not so well, but I think that they're starting to learn. Learn is that the communities that they build want to see the things they

[Charlamagne Tha God]

create, talk that talk.

[Andrew Schultz]

They don't necessarily just want to see them in something. They. They appreciate their creative ideas. They appreciate the content that they curate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I like your energy. I'm in your world already.

[Andrew Schultz]

So. So if you take me to a movie and I know it's you not give me, then I'm gonna go support. And I think that that's what's happening now is they're taking like very small chances, right? They're going, hey, here's a million bucks to make a movie for a movie studio. That's a nothing chance compared to $100 million budget. And they go, hey, can you make a movie for. For a million bucks? Let's see what happens. And they're seeing certain examples. I mean, I think Markiplier put up his own money, but with this one, I think a. I forget which studio gave him the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, Focus films. Bought it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, but there was a studio that gave him money to make it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. Was it broken Paul? No, not broken Paul. Was it Blue mouse?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I thought it was like a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It wasn't Blue mouse.

[Andrew Schultz]

Bigger one. I don't know. Oh, but blue mouse, big. Anyway, my point is that, like, if you find a way to make a movie for a million bucks, these studios can make a lot of money on that. What is hard to make money on is you make a move for $300 million, because that needs to be a billion dollar property. So what I think will start to happen is they'll be making a lot. They'll be taking a lot more shots on these creators that can go out and they can put stuff out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you know what's even better? Talk to me when you already got your own capital or you got private investors that you can raise the money yourself.

[Andrew Schultz]

If I was a private equity firm and I want to get into entertainment, I would absolutely fund a development studio and give these people who actually have the ability to make shifts it. They probably have hours and hours and hours of them creating content and viewers consuming it.

[Chris]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

There is proof of concept to a certain extent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

And now you're seeing people go to the theater to see their work. That's an easy bet for me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't even watch horror movies. I don't like paying people to scare me. I'm going tonight just because I want to see what he did. With this million dollars, I just want to see it. I want to see what it looks like. I'm literally just going for the production value. I probably have my eye exactly close through half of it.

[Chris]

So let's say you're Drew Ski, right? So instead of taking the more traditional route would be like something. Let's use Tyler, the creator, in Marty supreme, right? Like, here's a supporting role in what's essentially a mainstream studio movie. You're saying someone like Drew Ski should just really come up with 1.5 himself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He could do both.

[Andrew Schultz]

Chris, let me tell you what I would do if I was Drew Drew Ski if I wanted to do film. I don't think Drew Ski needs to do film.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He wants to do film. He said he wants to. I've heard him throw out a couple film ideas. I know he said he wanted to do a buddy comedy with Timothy Sh.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I mean, look, look again. He might want to do acting, actual scripted stuff. What I would do if I was Druski's manager, I would say, Drewski, you are Borat. You are Sasha Baron Karl telling it. We have these characters that are already developed that people love. You got the white Christian women, right. Republican woman. You got these other ones that we already think the pastor, whatever. We could take one of them and make a movie about it, but not like a scripted. Literally how Borat was. So you basically have a loose storyline, but it's really about creating these pranks throughout.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Or you could do all.

[Chris]

Honestly, that's a great fucking idea.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is. Or you could do all of them. You could have the fucking redneck that he played that loves Alabama be in love with the fucking conservative. You could mix them up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Or you could just do. Or you could do like Drew Ski pranks. Japan. Do you remember when, like, Tom Green went to Japan? And you have all these different characters, but then he's operating with these people abroad or whatever. But the characters themselves already work you up the budget a little bit more. His budget's already high. And now you have a real movie property that's based on IP that the Internet absolutely loves.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They know Drew Ski. That's why what you said, Chris, Drew Ski can do both. Because I would still. If I was Drew Ski, I would still make guest appearances in movies and shit like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do that as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're building up your. Do that as well. Building up your brand. Finally. Do do this film, man. Not only do you got your own audience, you got all these other people who fuck with you.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're telling me you Wouldn't watch Drew Ski as the white Republican woman goes to the Republican National Convention. And that's the whole. It's an hour and 30 minute hour, 15 minute movie. It's, you know, whatever in people, blah, blah. You have some storyline that exists with it. You even throw some other guys into it. You got Kai running in there. You got Kevin Hart running. Like you have other things. But that would be incredibly disruptive. I think

[Chris]

it's almost. It's not the same, but like, in the 70s and 80s, you had these franchises like Smokey and the Bandit and stuff like that, which were like essentially just platforms for these various celebrities to come on. And, you know, the plot was like very secondary. It was really just a chance for them to do their thing. The other question I had was, you know, listening to that Drake, the Kevin Durant commercial, I can't see it from where I'm sitting, but just listening to it, I'm like, this guy has fantastic, phenomenal comedic timing. He has fantastic Drake presence. How would a Drake movie do?

[Taylor]

That would be great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought Drake should have made that transition.

[Chris]

Yeah, I'm actually shocked that he hasn't, to be honest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought he should have made that transition.

[Taylor]

I think he won to show people that he was a rapper.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was great on Little Dicky. Fantastic.

[Andrew Schultz]

The one problem with the Drake movie is that Drake is bigger than any movie he's gonna be in or put out. So if you just have him as a character in the movie, he's so famous that he has to be Drake. So if you're doing a Drake movie, what I would do is a sketch or whatever kind of in that regard where he gets to play himself.

[Chris]

Make it a comedy first.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, remember Howard Stern, Private Parts?

[Chris]

Not a great movie. And I'm a big Stern fan.

[Andrew Schultz]

I thought that was fun. Maybe it was young.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

I thought it was awesome. But, like, I think Drake has to play himself in the movie. But you create a Curb youb Enthusiasm esque framework for it where he can be this kind of, like, vulnerable, silly dude. But just having Drake play like a star of a rom com, it's going to be hard for us to separate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Drake can do. I think he do. He can. He convinced us that he was a cripple in a wheelchair. And when he did SNL and all that shit, he was good.

[Andrew Schultz]

He can. What I'm trying to say is, like, there is a. Like, do people want to see Drake be just a guy in a romcom? No, they want to see Drake be Drake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He Would have to be.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's like. They want to see Drew be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, it be funny if he played, like, a. A satire of himself.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's. That's what that was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So, like, you curb. You curb it a little bit. He's vulnerable in it. You actually.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, there's like, really crying lavender baths. You know what I mean? Like, all little. All of this, you think Drake does. You know what I mean? Like, that. That could be. Yeah, she could be funny, you know,

[Andrew Schultz]

whatever the storyline is. But he gets to be him in it, because I think the disconnect is. And you brought up a great point with Tyler, the creator. It's like, I'm sure some of Tyler's fans went to go see that movie because they love Tyler. He's this massive fan base and this loyal fan base, but at the end of the day, they want to see Tyler be Tyler.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He didn't play Tyler in the movie.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, he played a character.

[Chris]

I mean, set in the 30s.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, got you.

[Andrew Schultz]

So it's just like you're doing it because you just want to see your boy out there doing his thing. Right, Right. But it's like what you really want is you want to see Tyler be Tyler or Tyler be some of the characters that he's created. So that's the first iteration that I would do for a lot of this talent. And then once they already see you in a movie, now start slotting you in other stories.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, you know, it is interesting. It really depends on the story. Right. Cause if you think about back in the day when you used to see rappers in projects, these stories were just so good that these guys. These guys embodied the characters. Like Cube. Cube could be Doughboy R. Craig from Friday right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but I'll be honest with you, bro. Like, rap wasn't as big.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, of course not. But I mean, it was to the audience, though. To us, it was. So for Cube to be in a movie, it was still Ice Cube, but going to the movie, we forgot that was Cube, that was Doughboy. And I think Drake has that type of acting ability to make you forget that that's Drake that you're watching on screen.

[Andrew Schultz]

To me, I think one of the genius things about Friday was Ice Cube played somebody that could have been Ice Cube in his life. You know what I mean? Like, I'm. Like, I'm watching it like, oh, is this Ice Cube before he became Ice Cube?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But what about Doughboy? Doughboy's the same way, and boy's in the hood.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[Taylor]

I think you got the movies mixed up.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What I'm saying is he's not killing people all the time, Taylor.

[Andrew Schultz]

But no, but, like, exactly. So in Doble, you're like, I killed. See him as this person. Right. It's not like a big logical leap. If our first movie with. If our first movie with Ice Cube was like, him in, like, a. Some Japanese, like, kung fu movie, maybe we'd be like, what's going on here? There'll also be a version where we're like, this kind of fire. Maybe. I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, like, what if Drake played a role like Tupac and Juice

[Andrew Schultz]

might be something.

[Chris]

I think that could be crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? Like, he got the heck. He. He clearly got the action.

[Chris]

Drake is an action hero. What about that? But it's slightly tongue in cheek. There's like a little wink.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Action hero.

[Taylor]

I can see him doing that, though. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know if I want to see action.

[Taylor]

He could be like a.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is the problem with having a super, super big celebrity as like, a side character in a movie is every time they enter, they are Drake, and it breaks the world. So, like, Ed Sheeran, the goat, like, unbelievable guy. He was in an episode of Game of Thrones, and I think it was one of these things where it was like, hey, we gotta get Ed in. He's a fan of the show. Like, it would be sick to have one of the most prolific musicians ever on the show. Not me personally, no. But there was a version where people were watching where, like, when you watched Game of Thrones, you were suspending disbelief. You were believing in dragons. You were doing all this shit fantasy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I looked at it and I was like, finally. That was the greatest thing.

[Andrew Schultz]

The role that was made for him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, no, of course.

[Andrew Schultz]

Look, I'm being silly, obviously, but, like. But I think there is a version of that where if Ed Sheeran played a musician in a movie where a musician was about to get signed to whatever, and it doesn't exactly have to be his life, but all of a sudden, you buy it. Now, I don't, like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not mad at that, but I don't like those. I don't like those ones that are too on the nose, like 8 mile.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, but we bought 8 mile, and it was a fantastic movie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I would rather see Eminem. I would rather see Eminem doing some shit that's.

[Taylor]

That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wouldn't see Eminem do what I

[Andrew Schultz]

would say Is you would.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's only because of how his videos have been.

[Andrew Schultz]

8 mile was Howard Stern movie, right?

[Chris]

And it was Get Rich and Die Trying.

[Andrew Schultz]

And it was Get Rich and Die Trying.

[Chris]

They're biopics.

[Andrew Schultz]

We buy it and you just shift a little, but we buy it and then once we see you on the big screen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you would much rather see 50 in a comedy, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

I needed. I needed you to listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? 50 in a comedy world, 50s. You know what?

[Andrew Schultz]

That'd be awesome.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Awesome.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm not saying rather, but that would be awesome. I just think you need to make that transition for people.

[Taylor]

What if y' all both seen the movie Bad Trip with Lil Rel and I forgot the other guy's name?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[Taylor]

I would want to see Drake something like that. Like, dressed up and then people don't recognize him. I know he would.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He would super bad. Get him to the Greek style movie. Like, that's my favorite tone of movie. Get him to the Greek super bad. Like, I like that type of shit.

[Taylor]

I didn't see him, like, he'd done that before on Jimmy Kimmel. He dressed up and was interviewing people about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, that little dicky shit was funny too, man. By the way, salute to Lil Dicky. Lil Dicky still got. The Lil Dicky show was one of the best shows ever written.

[Taylor]

Yeah, I was rewatching it this weekend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That shit is them three seasons. That is some of the best television ever. Yo, like, I don't even know what you call that. Is that a sitcom? What the fuck is Lil Dicky show called, Joe?

[Chris]

Yeah, well, no, it's not a sitcom, but it's a comedy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That shit is hilarious.

[Taylor]

One question, though. Those type of shows, this more towards you, like, for white people.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Taylor]

What is it about dicks for y'? All?

[Andrew Schultz]

What is it about dicks?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is it about dicks for you? I don't mean to come to your aid like this, but what is it about dicks for you?

[Taylor]

Well, that's different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You like Dick's Taylor.

[Taylor]

I like one dick, thank you very much. Okay, second, I still like it. No, but I'm just saying a lot of white humor is around dicks and, like, gay stuff.

[Andrew Schultz]

So white people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm white.

[Andrew Schultz]

White people. We've brought you in. We brought you in. What I would say is this. What I would say is this is like white people were just like maybe 10 years ahead when it comes to, like, gay jokes. So we got comfortable with gays before anybody else did. And when you're comfortable with it. You could joke around about it and be silly because there's this, like. There's this air of absurdity that goes along with it. So, like. Like now, black people in the last, like, five years have gotten very comfortable with gay fun. Like, young black people just. It's.

[Chris]

Charlamagne's a trailblazer.

[Taylor]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Say again?

[Chris]

He's an early adopter, first of all.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what we have to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been on dicks. Number one. Okay. Number two, I'm upset that Taylor even asked you. I got jealous just now. Like, why is she asking Andrew about this and not me?

[Andrew Schultz]

She don't believe you, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She don't believe you.

[Andrew Schultz]

She don't believe you, man. She don't believe it comes from your heart. She knows it comes from my heart.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm like, why the fuck is she.

[Chris]

I have another question then.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Is white culture the only culture that jokes about dicks, or is black culture the only one that doesn't? Like, what's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who says we don't?

[Chris]

Taylor just did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not true.

[Chris]

What about South America? What about gay?

[Andrew Schultz]

South American culture loves gay jokes. They love.

[Taylor]

Why they always gotta be gay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Every joke.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is that the 80s and the 90s, you can go watch Eddie Murphy Raw, There was gay jokes about dicks. You can go watch Martin and them guys when Martin was dressing up like Shanaynay. There's always been gay humor and all of that stuff in living color.

[Taylor]

No, you're right. What are we talking about? There's two different types of humors versus a superhero.

[Andrew Schultz]

Very different. It's very different. It's very different. You're laughing because there's a guy dressed up as a girl. We're laughing because it's funny that you put your balls on my shoulders.

[Taylor]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're not ready for that. You can't handle a guy at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't see the reason. There's no need for that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're not there yet, but that's a little bit. But why? You're not there yet.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're still pausing. You're still doing pause. Pause.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's. Like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why is your balls on me? On my shoulders?

[Andrew Schultz]

Put your balls on my shoulder.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why is that? There's no reason. That's funny. Like, that's. Why would you do that?

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not funny to have my balls on your shoulder.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, what.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's the punchline? This is the punchline. You just go like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn.

[Andrew Schultz]

See, you're not there yet. That's why Taylor asked me. That's why Taylor asked me. That's me. You just hit a little.

[Chris]

It's a journey.

[Andrew Schultz]

What?

[Chris]

It's a journey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a journey.

[Andrew Schultz]

You just hit the first level, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Putting balls on the shoulder and turning to kiss.

[Taylor]

But even so, for instance, in Super Bad, he drew a lot of dicks. For what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hilarious.

[Taylor]

It's hilarious.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you go, this is. This is how gay fun works with the boys, is you just try to out gay one another. So if you put your balls there, I got to go try to kiss them. And if you break, you're gay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not gay.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not gay to what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not. That's something else. I don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Putting balls on a shoulder.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't even think gay people do that. Gay people put their balls on their shoulders. Like, why? Like, no way, man. Not even.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't think. Yeah, they don't have fun like that. They have straight fun. They'll put, like, a little pocket pussy on you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ew.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get that. Hey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I knew he wasn't a real Fraggle maggot this whole time. You a GMO Fraggle maggot? Jesus Christ. Putting balls on the shoulder is crazy. Giving it a little kiss that feels like something like. Like. Like it's three more days of summer or some shit. If that happens.

[Andrew Schultz]

Where do you think the Harlem shake came from?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Balls on my shoulder.

[Andrew Schultz]

Take this money. There's no way you can take.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So Diddy invented the remix, obviously.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who do you think, producer? Why? Why do you think Black Rob said, whoa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is how the Harlem shake came to be. Diddy put his balls on somebody's shoulder after filming. Get him to the Greek. All that white boy fun with Jonah Hill and Russell Brand.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who invented homosexuality? The Greeks. Why you think we need to get them there? Why do you think we need to get them there, bro?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do the math.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do the math.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow. Let's face. Let's do some asking. We got any more bills, Taylor?

[Taylor]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, let's do some asking. Idiots.

[Taylor]

Wait, though. There's so much more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, more.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay.

[Taylor]

You have nothing against Clarissa Shields.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shout out to Clarissa. Sealed. What did she do wrong?

[Taylor]

I'm confused when they'd be like, I don't condone violence. Isn't boxing, in a sense, violence? I know it's more like other stuff, but it's just violence.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't understand why women getting into a situation like this bothers people.

[Taylor]

It doesn't bother people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Male boxers and combat fighters, they See each other in the street. They talk shit. They push. They sometimes fight. It happens. I don't think Jake Paul should even be banning her from all MVP events after this. They was in each other's face. Alisa told her, I'm a fuck you up. Clarissa said, who you gonna fuck up? And Clarissa slapped him. Now we gotta fight. Now we gotta fight. Now what are we doing? It's a promotion for a fight. What's up? Clarissa takes it down to drop weight to fight Alisa Butterfield. Now we gotta fight. What's the problem? This is great promotion, y'. All.

[Andrew Schultz]

I didn't have men used to understand,

[Taylor]

like, why I say you don't condone violence when kind of you do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, she means she don't condone violence outside of the ring.

[Taylor]

Okay, well, regardless, it's still violent. Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on.

[Taylor]

Other than that, did y' all like, though this new. Oh, wait, did you see the. You did. You gave him dunk of the day, right? The grad student. They didn't. They couldn't walk again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah. Where they used AI the. This school. What's the name of the school? Taylor? This school.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's Glendale.

[Andrew Schultz]

And they got. They booed the person or whatever. Yeah, well, they are to say the name.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They use AI to say the name of the graduates. I mean, that's just lazy, bro. That's just lazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then how diverse. One more.

[Taylor]

They did a new spin off the Drake song. I liked it, though, with the Fresh Prince. I thought that was clever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, listen up, it's about to be smoke Ain't nothing but some I wrote about a rich ass that's deep in the game they call me Drizzy Drake and I'm keeping a name I sweat Nike shoes I got a mic to use to talk bad about you I don't like you fools Got an Oakland show tonight, baby. My young boys from the yacht going crazy.

[Taylor]

No, you didn't like it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought it was close.

[Taylor]

Whoever is up, he's hating.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sean's hating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what disgusts me?

[Taylor]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When Will Smith did his freestyle, y' all was. No, Will Smith did his freestyle. What was that? Freestyle? I am the. I am the son. No, the other one, where he was like. Oh, yeah, he went.

[Taylor]

He was sitting down on those.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the one? Cause Drake just stole his whole float. You know the one I'm talking about, man, I'm trying to find it.

[Andrew Schultz]

I like girls or something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I don't. You know the shit I'm talking about, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

I am the mountains, I am the grass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, man, let me pull it up. Up. Yo, because Drake just. That one was whole flow fire.

[Andrew Schultz]

What did you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The lunch break freestyle.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Huh?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got it right here. I feel like I'm just getting started. They tried to finish me. I'm like the universe infinite. There's no end in me. Drake, bounce back.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not even close

[Charlamagne Tha God]

that. This is what Drake's doing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Put the fire one on. I need that Will Smith right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Put on the heat with these mics. I feel like I'm customado hundred rounds of life. But still.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can you put on the fire one?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, here. No, here. Go. And even though I'm an action star, sometimes I'm a act bizarre. When Will act bizarre? Y' all don't like it? Drake get on the record and act. Jack Bazaar. Yo, and y'. All, it's heat. It's heat.

[Andrew Schultz]

The blaze is crazy. Stop disrespecting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Make America blaze again.

[Andrew Schultz]

Put on. Put on the fire Will Smith song.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was it.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, the other one that we really fucking got.

[Taylor]

That was with Wis McCully. Right?

[Andrew Schultz]

Put that one on. Put that one on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why can't y' all give Will credit when you just watch Drake steal his whole flow? That whole action star act bizarre line. He just did that over that Will Smith.

[Andrew Schultz]

I am a top, I am a bottom.

[Taylor]

Just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what?

[Andrew Schultz]

Let's listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do some asking. Idiot.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on. Lay that Will Smith. Give it. Put it in my bag.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No Will Smith, man. This is the one you want, Taylor.

[Taylor]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can we do some asking idiots, man, Right here.

[Taylor]

There's a lot more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're going crazy, Taylor.

[Taylor]

There's so much more that y' all miss.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did we miss today?

[Taylor]

I just feel like on Wednesdays that's when a lot of stuff comes out and then we miss it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then we did come. We did a lot. We did, you know, then we gave a lot of pre cum in the game.

[Andrew Schultz]

We gave so much pre cum, we hit the main topic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, man. Alex is coveting semen. He looks like he's promoting.

[Taylor]

But wait, there is a question about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, isn't that shit crazy? He does look like all these guys covered themselves in cum. Frozen semen and posted Iceman came. That's disgusting. Yo, y' all are fucking. First it was Iceman coming. Then when the album dropped, everybody posting themselves frozen semen and said Iceman came. Aman Armando Muna says, would you rather listen to only Drake's new albums for a year or be A frozen semen Iceman for a day. How did the semen get on me? Like, how did it happen?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, it has to be applied by human beings.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, act like they got it.

[Andrew Schultz]

They got to do that. Yeah, you got to sit there and take it. You got to sit there and take it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me read this again. Rather listen to only Drake's new album albums for a year or be a frozen semen iceman for a day? What would you do, Alex?

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm going with the music, yo. I'm listening to the music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? The semen is music. The ear is frozen semen.

[Andrew Schultz]

You want to do both. You want to do both, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What about you shows? What would you rather do? Would you rather listen to only Drake's new albums for a year? Yeah, you're frozen semen Iceman for a day.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'd rather listen to Drake's new Alice because I don't want the semen frozen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if it's frozen, you can't get on it. It's like, it's really nothing.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's the thing. It's frozen. It's like.

[Taylor]

It's disgusting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What about you, Taylor?

[Taylor]

This has nothing to do with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, now you don't answer.

[Andrew Schultz]

How you gonna opt it out?

[Taylor]

It has nothing to do with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I'm gonna opt out, too. I don't really. I don't like either one of these options.

[Andrew Schultz]

See, these guys aren't there. You're not there with the kids.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just don't like either one of these options. I just don't like it. I just don't care for either one of these options in no way, shape or form. Okay. You know what ICE stands for, right?

[Andrew Schultz]

I come extra.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's come everywhere. You want us to grow up? We're trying. Every day we come in here and we try to grow the fuck up. Okay? We leave here and go be responsible adults to our wives.

[Andrew Schultz]

And we have children, man. Isn't that crazy? Will you let children.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Will you let 240somethings just come in here and make stupid gay debts?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, nobody's going to believe this in 30 years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're going to be telling stories about this in school. Yeah, there was this thing called podcasting where, like, friends would just talk about semen and balls on your shoulder and they actually could do it for a living. It was a crazy way. Like, that's. Will anybody believe this? Will anyone believe this? 100 years from now, they're going to

[Charlamagne Tha God]

see it and think it's AI. Thank God there's no Way that shit was real.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, they won't believe it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But then they're going to hear me say things like, yo, people were covered in frozen semen. They gonna go on this, these old Instagram page be like, yo, what is this? Iceman came for real Ice man came all over them. Fabian Ruiz one says, is the age of being a romantic done with these young hoes? Fabian, I don't know why you asking us. What the hell do we know about young hoes, you know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know nothing about young hoes, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I will say this to you, young man. Man, romance is never done, okay? Romance only dies if you decide to let it die.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a, that's a fact right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's just the truth.

[Taylor]

Yeah, speaking of young hoes, there was a speak on them, there was a attorney or someone like that that was saying that there should be. There should be. They should make it legal for like 16 year olds to get married and yo, chill out. No, I can show you the video.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why they gotta be. Well, why those 16 year olds gotta be young hoes?

[Taylor]

Because they're, they're kids.

[Andrew Schultz]

But why they host.

[Taylor]

They don't think that the government should tell them what to do with their kids.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Huh?

[Taylor]

That's what he said. Look, just read the title.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say what? Oklahoma State representative defense keeping child marriage legal. They want to take away the parents right to give a 16 year old permission to get married. The government shouldn't be telling us what to do with our kids. I didn't know that was a law. There's a law. You can let your kids get married at 16. Play the Taylor. Only one year old would be the only age you could get married at. So they want to take away the parents right to give a 16 year old. Go back to afternoon. Whenever I hear when I see a man in a cowboy hat talking like that. I don't need to hear about none of these archaic he got going on. Oh, this is a good one. Who's the most famous dude? Or go back to who's the more famous duck, Daffy or Donald E. Ray?

[Taylor]

Will

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donald. Donald by proximity. Cause Donald fucked with Mickey and Minnie and Goofy. He got the whole Disney World thing.

[Taylor]

Daffy's the black duck, right? I always get them confused. Which one is it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm looking it up right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cause I forgot which one's which.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Daffy's the black duck, but it's Donald. Like Donald by proximity. Donald is this, you know, Daffy is Bugs Bunny. Them I Love Looney Tunes, but they never got to the level of Mickey and Minnie and Goofy and all of them. It's Donald by far.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think Scrooge Mick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he's nothing but an offshoot of Donald.

[Andrew Schultz]

He is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Donald and Scrooge. All of that shit. Donald is the OG of all of that shit. Ducktales, Scrooge. I think defi all of that shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

What about Dark Wing, Donald?

[Taylor]

Daffy wasn't Space Jam, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They're all Space Jam was a big deal. Exactly. People. Ain't nobody want to visit Daffy.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know what Donald Duck looks like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Donald got the sailor uniform on with

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know Donald Duck. I know Dark Wing. I know Donald.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donald, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

I know the black one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I think the black one.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's Daffy, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Daffy ain't with. I like Daffy.

[Andrew Schultz]

You would like some cracker ass duck.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Daffy ain't with Donald, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Some honky ass ducks. Duck. I'm with Daffy, dude. Scrooge, Mick, fire.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They all fruit off Donald's tree.

[Taylor]

And he said call up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donald was the gremlin that got wet and all them other ducks popped off.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know, man. Google.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's the more famous duck? Yo. Who do they say is the more who? Daffy or Donna? Who's more famous? Oh, who came first? That's a good. Who did come first, Paul? No, Donald came first, I think. Yeah, that's Disney.

[Taylor]

Oh, wait. Who's more famous? Famous question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, who's more famous, Daffy or Donna? What the did you do?

[Taylor]

My bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's more famous? Who's more. You got to go to all not images.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think it's Daffy, man. Oh, wait. Who talks like this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donald.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right. Donald's more famous. Yes, because that's. That sound is like, makes kids laugh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, look at this. Donald Duck, often considered Disney's most versatile character because they make so many other motherfuckers off of Donald. Dark Wings, Scrooge, the three little nephews. All fruit off Donald's tree, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then Daffy. What's Daffy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is Daffy?

[Taylor]

Daffy's the black one, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Daffy's the black duck. Daffy.

[Taylor]

Daffy was funny.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was getting his beak shot off. All the motherfuckers.

[Taylor]

Nah, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, Daffy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The one that Elmer Fudge used to shoot his fucking beak.

[Andrew Schultz]

Elbert Fudd is beefing with them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Drake got a line.

[Andrew Schultz]

They just made a black duck for no reason to get shot at.

[Taylor]

Yeah, they're mad racist.

[Chris]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy. That's.

[Taylor]

You know, the white gloves got something to do with race, too.

[Andrew Schultz]

What?

[Taylor]

White gloves, like all the cartoons ever. Like old cartoons, they have white gloves. I read something where it had to do with some type of racism.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, don't be laughing at Taylor, Alex.

[Taylor]

It's true. You want me to look it up and I'll show you?

[Andrew Schultz]

She's doing her best man, doing her

[Charlamagne Tha God]

fun facts and you laughing anyway.

[Taylor]

You don't want to get your no else done. So I'm talking about.

[Andrew Schultz]

Damn, damn, damn, damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fraggle maggot.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When in doubt, just call him out. You gotta do you and your back against the wall. Just let a fragging maggot fall.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He'll get right up off you.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think Alex's face is against the wall.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's do one more. Taylor Gang. What else we got? Taylor Gang. Give us one more. Taylor.

[Taylor]

It says it right here, the white. The white gloves stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What white gloves mean.

[Taylor]

It says it right. Why is that so funny to you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It literally says white gloves.

[Taylor]

It's connecting to black phrase.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Subtle, systemic or historical forms of racial bias in discussions about race and media. It commonly highlights the connection between classic animation styles and the racist history of minstrel shows. Okay, I. I didn't doubt you, Taylor. It was this fraggle maggot over here. I was all with you.

[Andrew Schultz]

I just found funny as her. All right, go. One more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's see. Just propose. Oh, no. Now, let's end with this. Let's end the way we started. Youngmamba96. Is Iceman actually good or Drake stands just sucking too hard?

[Andrew Schultz]

Honestly, you a hate. Like you're really a hater. It's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Respect my consistency. Honestly, can nobody respect my consistency?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, we will. We will.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm consistent. You.

[Andrew Schultz]

You might not be objective, but you are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I am very objective.

[Andrew Schultz]

If the objective is to on Drake, then yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't on Drake. You ain't never heard me on Drake.

[Taylor]

Cashew. What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody out there ever heard me on.

[Taylor]

Y' all had a conversation. What was he trying to tell you? That he's actually a really good rapper and stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you talking about?

[Taylor]

When the picture you have of y', all, like, laughing, holding the bottles.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drake is petty and evil, just like I am. It was with a plot, okay? We had a common enemy at the time, that's all. And it's cool. It's fine. It's. Nothing's fine. We had a common enemy at a Radio station at the time. That's it. It's for the plot. For the plot. I like a person that understands the plot, all right? That's why I'm so upset. The last two years. Let it go.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let it go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You lost the plot, and it's okay onto the next thing. All right? But none of y' all want to answer the question. Cause you got the fucking Iceman glaze all over your motherfucking mouth, huh? Is it really that good or you just sucking too hard?

[Andrew Schultz]

Alex, the album's good.

[Taylor]

Why are you saying it's what makes it good, though?

[Andrew Schultz]

The songs, good songs. Songs on it, the sounds of the song.

[Taylor]

You don't think y' all heard those type of sounds or songs before? I'm just saying it reminds me of old school Drake, though. That's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's. That's why I say Drake is chick fil. A.

[Andrew Schultz]

People enjoy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gives you what you want.

[Andrew Schultz]

People enjoy to see the mighty fall, but they also like to see the mighty come.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He didn't fall. He just lost a rap battle.

[Andrew Schultz]

There was a little fall there, but.

[Taylor]

No, no, let them continue saying that. It was a fall. And now he's trying to come back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just lost the rap.

[Andrew Schultz]

And they. And they root for the comeback, so they enjoy seeing the fallback.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You want that comeback all over your face? You want it frozen so you can post Ice Man? Hey, that's what it is. You want some of that comeback, too, don't you? Don't you, Alex? Alex? You want some of that comeback? All you Drake fans want some of that comeback, huh? You want some of that comeback?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, white people. White people. White people. We gotta stop teaching them gay jokes. We gotta stop it right now. They taking it too far. Yeah, they said we taught them basketball. They started dunking from the free throw line. This is what it is. Looks like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shout out. It's come everywhere, man. Okay. It's come everywhere, man. The album is a cool album. Yeah, it's a cool album, all right. He's got some sticky songs on there, some songs that's stick for the summer.
