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
Crack.
Charlamagne Tha God
Crack cocaine.
Andrew Schultz
What happened?
Charlamagne Tha God
That is back. I knew it was going to come back, though, because.

Taylor

Chris
I saw a video of two people smoking crack under a blanket on the subway.
Charlamagne Tha God
I saw that.
Chris
That was it.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I lied. I made that up.

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.
Andrew Schultz
We can't just acknowledge a good album.

Red Bull gives you wings.
Charlamagne Tha God
Visit red bull.com brightsummerahead to learn more. See you this summer. You know the other day, right, because we always had this conversation about the face of the league. Cannot be a foreigner.
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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
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.

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

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

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

Hosts: Charlamagne Tha God & Andrew Schulz
Date: May 23, 2026
In this episode, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz tackle the week’s trending pop culture and political stories with their signature blend of irreverent humor and incisive commentary. They debate the true meaning of "glazing" (uncritical stanning), discuss reactions to Drake's new triple album release amid his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, dissect the NBA playoffs, and break down recent developments in American politics. The show is full of banter, hilarious observations, and classic idiocy, making for an engaging and laughter-filled listen.
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.
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:
