Buying a car in Carvana was so.
Akash Singh
Easy, I was able to finance it through them.
Andrew Schulz
I just. Whoa, wait, you mean finance?
Akash Singh
Yeah, finance. Got pre qualified for a Carvana auto loan, entered my terms and shot from thousands of great car options, all within my budget. That's cool. But financing through Carvana was so easy. Financed, done. And I get to pick up my car from their Carvana vending machine tomorrow.
Andrew Schulz
Financed, right? That's what they said.
Akash Singh
You can spend time trying to pronounce financing or you can actually finance and buy your car today on Carvana financing, subject to credit approval. Additional terms and conditions may apply.
Andrew Schulz
Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other. When Alyssa got a small water bottle.
Akash Singh
Mike showed up with a four litre jug.
Alex
When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, come on. They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia trip planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.
Alex
Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.
Andrew Schulz
Whatever. You were made to outdo your holidays. Weewa.
Alex
Made to help organize the competition.
Andrew Schulz
Expedia made to travel. Yep. Charlamagne Tha God, we are the Brilliant idiots podcast. Andrew Schultz. Hezekiah Walker is still a way of filming Street Fighter. Andrew must be in that movie a lot. Cause 50 was there and back. But Andrew's still over there. Akash Singh is here. Akash Oshkosh Bigash.
Akash Singh
Yes sir.
Andrew Schulz
How are you man?
Akash Singh
I'm good man. How are you?
Andrew Schulz
I am blessed, black and highly favored. How was your week, bro?
Akash Singh
I bless brown and highly favored.
Andrew Schulz
You are. You absolutely are. You know, I was telling you before we started the show, we had Mayor Adams on and Mayor Adams was saying that Mandani's supporters are the gentrifiers.
Akash Singh
They are though. But I was like, I'm a supporter who.
Andrew Schulz
He kept saying the people. And I was like, who? So I said Indians. Because a large portion of people who went out there and voted for him in the primary were Indians. And he was like no. And I was like, who? Rich white people? And I'm like, yo, you gotta be specific. Who are these gentrifiers?
Akash Singh
No, he means not racial. It's the kids who live off their parents. Okay, outside of Indians because we like them. But the kids who live off their parents income and have all these ideas about socialism and how they know how the world should work even though they've never had a real job. Those guys vote for Mamdani.
Andrew Schulz
How do you give a more eloquent answer than the mayor of New York? I feel like if you're Gonna say that, you gotta be able to answer who people are, cuz somebody's gonna ask that.
Eric Adams
Look at his supporters. You know, these are the same. His heart and soul of his community are those same gentrifies that moved us out of our communities and are disrespectful in our community. That is the heart and soul. So we're buying into a concept of a person.
Andrew Schulz
What do you mean by that? When you say look at. Look.
Eric Adams
Look at his supporters. Those are the same his supporters that mean spirit pocket. Those.
Andrew Schulz
You mean like Indians?
Eric Adams
I'm sorry, what do you mean? No, no, no, no. When you look at Harlem Best eye other parts of our community, when you saw the change of our demographics, you saw gentrification come into our communities. Those are. That's the heart and soul of his supporters. That's the heart and soul of other people have bought into the message and started growing. But the heart and soul of his supporters are those same people that came in and gentrified our communities in this in the first place. Won't patronize our restaurants.
Andrew Schulz
Want to change rich white people because they're not black. What?
Eric Adams
No, not. It's not even just.
Andrew Schulz
You gotta be specific when you say that. What do you mean?
Eric Adams
Gentrification to me is not an ethnicity. Ethnicity is a mindset he wasn't prepared for.
Akash Singh
You, you're a good interviewer. You ask follow ups.
Andrew Schulz
He interviewed me a billion times. Like I'm listening to madam. And I like Mayor Adams is all right with me. I don't, you know, I don't live in New York, so I don't have, you know, I don't. What is the issue with that?
Akash Singh
That's a very political way of saying you wouldn't like Mayor Adams if he had anything to do with you.
Andrew Schulz
No, actually, I don't think I, I don't have a problem with May Adams, but I also, you know, don't tell you the problem. City. Tell me nothing seems better.
Akash Singh
He'll tell you everything is better. Nothing feels better. I was walking to. I don't remember where I was walking, but I saw three guys shooting heroin. And then I saw. I saw a guy with no shirt on walking down the street, piece of his small intestine sticking out of his stomach.
Andrew Schulz
Damn. What?
Akash Singh
Looked like shit smeared all over his stomach. That wasn't happening in Bloomberg New York.
Andrew Schulz
Definitely wasn't happening in Bloomberg New York. Valid question. I asked Mayor Adams, though. I said, because he was explaining all of these things that he's done right, because he was there. You got to remember I got in office during COVID but he was explaining about all of the progress that they've made and the things that they've done better. So I said, well, if you've done all of those things better, how come what you've actually done isn't resonating as much as Mandani's messaging about what he will do?
Akash Singh
Good question.
Andrew Schulz
Because to me, actions should speak louder than words.
Akash Singh
What did he say?
Andrew Schulz
I actually said, mandani's just a better liar.
Akash Singh
Is that what he said?
Andrew Schulz
That's what he said. He said mandani's just a better. He said mandani knows how to sell the lie better.
Eric Adams
A year in office, I sat down with the team. I said, listen, I don't have any control on the price of bread, but I could put bread back in the pockets of New Yorkers. We put $30 billion back into the pockets of New Yorkers. What does that look like? Free high speed broadband for NYCHA and other homes. That's $159 a month. We dropped the cost of child care. If you have two children in schools, we dropped the cost in child care. We dropped the cost of child care from 22 to $20 a month. They're less than $20 a month. That's another $200. We're paying off medical debt. If you're a low income New Yorker and you have medical debt, we're paying that off for you. You no longer have to pay for that of universal after school program for free paying the college tuition of night of our foster care children. So when you start picking apart our programs, it comes to a total of $30 billion.
Andrew Schulz
So why are those actual actions not resonating with people? But Mandani's messaging of affordability is because if you actually already are putting more money back in people's pockets, why is it not, you know, resonating? But his messaging of affordability is without a doubt, brother.
Eric Adams
Think about for a moment because what he has done successfully, it says, I'm going to identify the pain that people are feeling. Yes, Eric is addressing it, but you're not learning about that. I'm addressing it because it's not being covered.
Andrew Schulz
We need to be clear on that.
Eric Adams
And so what he has done successfully is said, I'm going to identify the pain that people are feeling. I'm just going to tell them anything that they want to hear.
Andrew Schulz
But it shouldn't be no pain. If you're actually addressing the issue though.
Eric Adams
But going back to what all of you said Perception is reality.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but that's not the point. The point is your reality is not matching up to what you're telling me.
Andrew Schulz
That's right, because he kept talking about perception, like, you know, the perception in the media shapes the perception and, you know, envy. You asked the question about, you know, people. The same thing. You just said, people feel away, but this is what we're actually doing. But my thing is, if you're actually. Actually doing those things, then people shouldn't feel that way.
Akash Singh
Yeah. And maybe it feels less dangerous than it did a year ago, but I remember walking by Penn Station and you. I mean, you go. You live in Jersey, but you probably drive. You just see guys outside of Penn Station shooting drugs.
Andrew Schulz
But isn't that New York, though?
Alex
Yeah, that's.
Akash Singh
That was in New York when I moved here.
Alex
Penn Station has always been.
Akash Singh
Nah, nah, I. Dude, I.
Andrew Schulz
No, that's not true.
Akash Singh
I used to go to Penn Station. Nah, bro. I went to Penn Station every day. When I lived in Secaucus and I was broke. That's how I got back and forth. It didn't feel great, but it didn't feel like this.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. I moved here in 06. Who was here? It was Bloomberg. And Bloomberg.
Akash Singh
Bloomberg was the.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, from. Oh. When I moved up here with Wendy, I was in Penn Station every day, coming from Fort Lee, New Jersey, on the bus to Penn Station. And I never once felt like I. Damn, it's dangerous.
Alex
If I had to guess, I think they have a bunch of homeless shelters that they move towards that area because people don't like it in their neighborhoods.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex
Since that's so commercial, not too many people complain about it because I have a studio over there, and there's like. There's a hotel that is actually like a homeless shelf.
Andrew Schulz
You got a studio by Penn Station?
Alex
Yeah, it's on 38th and 8th.
Andrew Schulz
So you got two WTFs.
Akash Singh
Yeah. You haven't known this?
Andrew Schulz
You got four. God damn. Alex and Wheezy getting motherfucking money.
Akash Singh
Alex. Rich dude. How did I know this?
Andrew Schulz
I thought y' all had two. I thought y' all had one over there and then one in la.
Akash Singh
Alex has that, two in soho. The SS Truck. What do you call it?
Andrew Schulz
I know he got the cyber truck.
Akash Singh
Shut up. Yeah. Hey, salute to your car, Alex. Salute to your car.
Andrew Schulz
Salute to your.
Akash Singh
My heart goes out to your car, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Hail. Alex is crazy. Don't do that.
Alex
I already got niggas. They draw dicks on my car and shit like that. I don't need that.
Andrew Schulz
That's crazy. I did not know.
Akash Singh
I got a little carried away with that one.
Andrew Schulz
So what the sets look like? I know what the set over there looks like.
Alex
Nah, I got 2 in SoHo, 2 in Midtown, and 1 in LA.
Andrew Schulz
God damn. Congratulations wt fucking that.
Akash Singh
I film all my. My wife has a podcast. She films out there. I film whenever I do my podcast in la. Alex, don't ever give us a discount.
Andrew Schulz
Never.
Alex
Never in the beginning.
Andrew Schulz
I keep coming back, but honestly, I wouldn't. I wouldn't want a discount. If I was you. I wouldn't want a discount.
Akash Singh
I've never asked. To be fair, he also never offered.
Andrew Schulz
If I was you.
Akash Singh
I just noticed he never offered. I would. I would say no. Yeah, he just never was like, I'll give you one.
Andrew Schulz
Because it's like, you got it.
Akash Singh
No, I don't. I want to support. I also don't want my friends to be like, hey, can you. If my friends say, hey, you think you give us a discount? Now I get to say I pay full price. So I doubt it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
But he also never offered.
Alex
Now I feel bad because I thought we would.
Akash Singh
It's fine. I would have said no, but you just. And that's all I noticed.
Andrew Schulz
I never understand giving people with money discounts. It makes no sense to me.
Akash Singh
I refer him quite a few people.
Andrew Schulz
That's what I'm saying. Like, what's the point of giving people money? So when you go to dinner with.
Akash Singh
A friend, you don't offer to pay, depending.
Andrew Schulz
I got a rule. If I know this person's richer than me, why would I disrespect that individual?
Akash Singh
See, I'm more likely to pay if they're richer than me because I don't want them to feel like I'm using them.
Andrew Schulz
Nah. Now I'll act like I'm reaching for my wallet. You know what I mean? But by the way, that's all I wanted.
Akash Singh
That's exactly what I want.
Andrew Schulz
You see what I'm saying?
Alex
Oh, I'll take care of you. I got you.
Akash Singh
I got you.
Andrew Schulz
But most people who really, really got it going to pay for it before you even know that the bill has even came. The bill has been taken care of. So by the time you fake reaching for your wallet, you know what I mean? They're like, oh, it's already taken care of.
Alex
Exactly. I didn't even know we was charging you.
Andrew Schulz
Now, I'm not entitled. I'm not entitled to it, but I just always have had a rule. If a person has more money than me, I don't want to insult them and pay their bill. That's just stupid.
Akash Singh
How do you order? Do you order whatever you want? Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Cause I can. I can pay for it if I need to. You understand what I'm saying? Like, I'm not. I can order whatever the fuck I want on the menu because I can pay for it.
Akash Singh
You know, this is probably not exclusive to Indian families, but, like, we will fight over who pays the bill. It's like a fight. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like a real fight or like, like.
Akash Singh
Legit grabbing, the wrestling with the billfold, all that.
Andrew Schulz
Why?
Akash Singh
I don't know. It's just a cultural thing. That's how we grew up seeing our parents do it. And then you get older and like, no, I want to pay for this. I want to do this for you. It's a nice thing.
Andrew Schulz
So let me taken it back. Have you ever, like, offered the payment and taken it back?
Akash Singh
No, no, no, no.
Andrew Schulz
They call that right in the end. You do know. Oh, man. Oh, man. Listen. Free speech, Akash.
Akash Singh
I love free speech, dude. You know what they call it when you knock on someone's door and run off? I'm just asking a question.
Andrew Schulz
What do they call it?
Akash Singh
A kashe. I don't know. I'm asking you.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, my God. Jimmy Kimmel. That's one of the reasons I needed Akashe today. Cause I needed a comedian's perspective. And I guess not just comedians nowadays. Because I'm just interested in a lot of different things about this conversation.
Akash Singh
Okay, talk to me.
Andrew Schulz
Where do we begin here? I think for me, Right. Everybody keeps talking about free speech.
Akash Singh
Correct.
Andrew Schulz
When it comes to the Jimmy Kimmel conversation.
Akash Singh
Correct.
Andrew Schulz
And it's not just Jimmy. I guess you gotta go back to free speech. Even with Charlie Kirk. The reason I don't like people that are conflating the two issues or acting like the two issues are equal is because Charlie Kirk got murdered by just some random mentally ill kid or just some, you know, violent kid who decided he wanted to take Charlie Kirk out because he didn't personally agree with his speech. Right. That's a big difference between the government, the President of the United States of America, you know, weaponizing the fcc. Absolutely. To make a company and a network punish their talent.
Akash Singh
Absolutely.
Andrew Schulz
It's literally not the same. I don't even know why people are conflating the two.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
But I do feel like when I watched Jimmy Kimmel last night, I felt he played it too safe with his monologue.
Akash Singh
That's interesting. He was classier than I thought. He would be. But I thought he tried to be like a human being about it. I thought he tried to be empathetic about it. To be honest. I think he tried to do what liberals always think they tried to do and do not, which is have empathy and be open minded about.
Andrew Schulz
For the other side.
Akash Singh
Yeah. I think he actually, in that way, I was like, I was happy he handled it how he handled it.
Andrew Schulz
By the way, I like Kimmel. I like Kimmel. I met Kimmel a couple of times.
Akash Singh
Purdy's the nicest guy, everybody.
Andrew Schulz
He seems he is. When you meet him. He's a very nice person and people have nothing but great things to say about him. But I just felt like now is not the time to play it safe. Jon Stewart didn't play it safe. Stephen Colbert didn't play it safe. Didn't understand why Jimmy Kimmel was kind of both sidesing it a little.
Akash Singh
What do you say? That was both sizing it.
Andrew Schulz
Because it felt like he wanted to apologize. He felt like he apologized.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Without apologizing. Okay. Like. Like play. Can we play something up? Can we play something?
Akash Singh
Yeah. I don't mind a guy saying, hey, I regret what I said, but. Freedom of speeches.
Andrew Schulz
But he didn't say that, though.
Akash Singh
I thought he kind of.
Andrew Schulz
That's my. That's what I'm saying. It was the tone of that.
Akash Singh
I thought he. I thought he did. I thought he said, like, if you interpreted a certain way, I apologize and I understand.
Andrew Schulz
And then he said, but he never apologized. That's my point.
Alex
Video.
Akash Singh
Here's what he also said I thought was cool. If the shoe was on the other foot. I would probably react like you guys. Which I thought was very mature of him to do. Yeah. And to call attention to.
Andrew Schulz
But after you get your hand slapped a little bit. You understand what I'm saying?
Akash Singh
I thought he did the mature thing. The therapy. Charlamagne should like this. By the way. I have to say, I haven't gotten to see you in person. The Dame Dash interview really made me so happy because that's my favorite. Charlamagne is untherapized. Why do you want Debt Jam?
Andrew Schulz
But those are just jokes. Jokes. Never. I can always snap the snaps. They never went nowhere. You know, Y' all just want the snaps to come from a place of like.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Meanness.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
But even then it wasn't mean.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
No, no. Yeah. Let's hear some of Jimmy's monologue, man.
Akash Singh
Breaking news on Jimmy Kimmel.
Andrew Schulz
Great intro.
Akash Singh
Autism. Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, great.
Andrew Schulz
Montage. Is great to bring back their low rating nighttime hosts. We are in for a monologue that will marker in late night show history. It's going to be in a moment. Yeah, no question. A huge moment in American history.
Akash Singh
It's one of the most pivotal moments in broadcast history. He will be delivering what is being dubbed the most anticipated monologue in late night in years.
Alex
And thanks for telling your followers that our government cannot be allowed to control what we do and do not say on television and that we have to stand up to it. I've been hearing a lot about what I need to say and do tonight and the truth is, I don't think what I have to say is gonna make much of a difference. If you like me, you like me. If you don't, you don't. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind. But I do wanna make something clear because it's important to me as a human. And that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.
Andrew Schulz
I don't.
Akash Singh
He didn't.
Andrew Schulz
I don't think there's anything funn about it.
Alex
I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed sending love to his family and asking for compassion. And I meant it. And I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was. Obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some that felt either ill timed or unclear or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger. I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way. I have many friends.
Andrew Schulz
It felt like I'm sorry without saying I'm sorry. And it's like he didn't make light of Charlie Kirk's death.
Alex
But isn't that the best way to handle it? Because he's not saying I'm sorry for anything.
Andrew Schulz
Here's the thing. He's saying, you misunderstood me. I lost my train of thought earlier, but this is what I wanted to say. Everybody's acting like this is an attack on free speech. Donald Trump just has a hit list, bro.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah. But in that hit list he used, he attacked free speech.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know if he would be attacking free speech if he didn't already have a list.
Akash Singh
He wouldn't. But it's still an attack on free speech. Does that make sense?
Andrew Schulz
Yes. Yes, it is. I agree. But I think the Bigger issue here is Donald Trump has a list of politicians, media personalities, girls. He has a list of people that he wants to attack. And I think sometimes we get lost in the, oh, this is an attack on free speech. When that bigger issue is, no, you got a real vindictive president who we all knew when he got back in the White House he was going to be on a revenge tour.
Akash Singh
People don't believe when I say this. I didn't know it was going to be like this. This don't make anybody happy. I didn't know it was going to be like this.
Andrew Schulz
Here you go. You about to go viral again. He's been on my time. I've been seeing this all week and they don't. All they say is the flagrant boys.
Akash Singh
I didn't vote for the man. I talked to him.
Andrew Schulz
I don't believe that as I should.
Akash Singh
What do you mean?
Andrew Schulz
Raise your hand if you believe Akash voted for Trump. I don't believe your dad. Trunkage.
Akash Singh
Why would I not? Or why would I lie about that? Andrew? I could have easily just joined it. I'm the most loyal guy. I'd have joined Andrew and I voted for him. I was uneasy when he.
Andrew Schulz
No, but you couldn't though.
Akash Singh
Why didn't I?
Andrew Schulz
Because you Indian, you couldn't really, you had. You couldn't say that you voted for Trump so easily.
Akash Singh
Why not? As easy as Andrew, it's much more likely I get deported saying I didn't vote for him. I didn't vote for Kamala, to be fair.
Andrew Schulz
What?
Akash Singh
No.
Andrew Schulz
She's Indian.
Akash Singh
When convenient.
Andrew Schulz
So who'd you vote for?
Akash Singh
I invoke.
Andrew Schulz
I like that. Respect.
Akash Singh
I generally don't vote, but I also, I remember saying, because I also live in Texas, like I'm based in Texas and my cousin or my brother in law or something was saying like, man, Texas might swing blue. I said, if KAMALA gets within 10% of Trump, I will pay you 10.
Andrew Schulz
He thought Texas was going to swing.
Akash Singh
He thought it could. I said, if she gets within 10%, I'll pay you $10,000.
Andrew Schulz
I would love to know what made him think Texas was.
Akash Singh
You know how delusional everyone was. They thought she was a good candidate. Have you seen the clip where they said, why would you not have Pete Buttigieg just because he's gay? I read the book and then Kamala was like, no, I didn't say I didn't choose him because he was gay. I said, because we had 107 days. I couldn't pick a gay person Nah, it was so.
Andrew Schulz
It was bad.
Akash Singh
I saw the whole thing.
Andrew Schulz
Nah, I read the book from beginning to end. Number one. I think it is a great book.
Akash Singh
How long is it? 107 pages?
Andrew Schulz
No, it's not long at all. It's really not long at all because it literally goes in days. She skips two days, though. And I wonder why. Nobody's asked her that yet. She skips. I think it's the 12th and the 13th or the 11th and 12th of October. I don't remember why, but it's a really good book. But it's a fast read. Cause it's just. It goes by days.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So it's literally like two, three pages of a day.
Akash Singh
That's your diary. Why am I reading your diary without any of that?
Andrew Schulz
I love it. I think that if Democrats don't get in their feelings, which they already have, this could be a great reset for the Democratic Party. Because the Democrats need honesty. They need truth. They needed it last motherfucking year.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You know, I would love for her.
Akash Singh
To come on flagrant and also just admit, yeah, you guys did ask us. We thought it was risky. Blah, blah, blah.
Andrew Schulz
That is a good point, because that is where I think she's been dropping the ball on her book tour.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Cause it's just like, go to the places they told you that you didn't go during your campaign. You're still going to all of the safe, traditional spaces. You're still going to the View. You're still going to. You know.
Akash Singh
Can you tell her this personally? Hit her on Blackpink or whatever.
Andrew Schulz
I'm saying. I'm saying it right here, right now. Like, I feel like she's still playing it too safe. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah, you're on Rachel Maddow. Like, you said, like, backtracking what is actually in the book. I'm reading the book. Like, yes, Kamala.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Finally, she's being honest.
Andrew Schulz
Yes. But then you go on TV and resort. What's the word? Revert back to being a politician.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Come on. We read the book.
Akash Singh
Absolutely. You know, I agree. Now, having said all of that, I'm surprised this guy's hit list is so open. And I think I didn't expect it to be this insane. And everybody. Typically when people are like, the worst case scenario people, I'm like, it's not gonna be that bad. This is that bad. This is a hit list. And he's using free speech to get it. And I'm always going to be in favor of Free speech. Even Alex Jones getting deplatformed. Even though I hated everything he had to say. And I was kind of happy I didn't have to deal with the shit back then. I was like, he shouldn't be, though.
Andrew Schulz
You know why nobody felt like Donald Trump would seek revenge? Because people don't look at him as human. But when you look at everything that he went through, the four years that Biden was in office, yes, that man was going to go, of course, when he got back in power.
Akash Singh
Are you saying because people were so punitive and, like, grinding him down.
Andrew Schulz
And how many charges did he have, Chris?
Akash Singh
Quite a few.
Andrew Schulz
You had to know that that's why it should have been so dire to keep him out of office. That's why I don't care what nobody says. Joe Biden's legacy is shit.
Akash Singh
I agree with that.
Andrew Schulz
I thought it was shit before, but it definitely was shit after the original sin. And it's definitely shit after 107 days. Because as Kamala says, in 107 days, Joe Biden's second, his second term shouldn't have been him running again. Shouldn't have been left up to his own ego.
Akash Singh
I agree.
Andrew Schulz
Because shit was that serious.
Akash Singh
It was embarrassing.
Andrew Schulz
Shit was that serious. So everybody's sitting around saying, my God, I can't believe Trump's doing this. You had to know Trump was going to be like this. Number one, because he's Donald Trump, but also number two, because of everything that they put him through. So why wouldn't they fight like hell, Fuck Amer Garland. Why wouldn't you hire an attorney general that you know is gonna go out there and prosecute the case against him if you thought he was such an essential threat, Joe Biden, why didn't you govern like it? And furthermore, why didn't you simply say, I'm a one term president, I'm getting out the way. The stakes are too high in the future for this country for me to sit around and bullshit and even attempt to run again and then drop out with 107 days and say, here, y' all take it, he was fan. I don't know why y' all not furious at President Biden.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I really don't.
Andrew Schulz
I don't.
Alex
Only way I'm not fear is because.
Akash Singh
Most people, first of all, that was beautiful. That was fire and brimstone. That was awesome.
Alex
Most people who have dementia don't realize how much dementia they got. So it's like he thought he still had it.
Akash Singh
Take the keys from the guy with dementia.
Alex
Yeah.
Akash Singh
But you had a grandfather with dementia. He's like, I could drive. You're like, no, Grandpa, you can't. He's driving.
Alex
Who's gonna tell the president you can't run again?
Andrew Schulz
Everybody around him.
Akash Singh
The black and Indian woman.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Alex
Yeah, but that's the thing.
Akash Singh
I got an Indian woman. She tells me what I can't do all the time.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Alex
Your wife.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Alex
And he was listening to only his wife. That was the only person he was listening to.
Andrew Schulz
So why wasn't nobody screaming at Jill?
Alex
Hey, maybe we should be upset at Jill.
Akash Singh
I love blaming women. I love that when you watch. I love that. It's one of my favorite things to do.
Andrew Schulz
When you watch Jimmy Kimmel going through what he's going through are, you know, damn, God bless the dead Charlie Kirk. When you see that type of stuff. Right. It is because they didn't fight hard enough when they were in office. They didn't govern hard enough, and they didn't fight like that.
Akash Singh
The Charlie Kirk thing, we can't put Trump out. Let's put Charlie Kirk. I agree with your general point. Let's just to be safe, let's put Charlie Kirk out of whatever caused that.
Andrew Schulz
Because I think the political rhetoric would have been way, way, way, way, way, way, way down.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Alex
That is.
Andrew Schulz
What are we talking about? Like, I think it would have been way down. Yeah. I mean, according to what the Internet is saying, it's not like he got clapped because, you know, it was some super liberal. No, that was, you know, from what I've been seeing. They said he wasn't conservative enough.
Akash Singh
No.
Andrew Schulz
Am I making this up?
Akash Singh
Yeah. No.
Alex
There's a certain group saying that, but some people would be like. I think that's like Nick Fuentes and his people are saying he wasn't right enough. But I don't know, it's.
Akash Singh
I think he was also apparently a Fuentes fan. He was a griper.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, that's what they said. The born of the bullet said. And that's getting lost. Everybody's acting like that. That conference, that. That didn't happen. They said one of the bullets said that on there.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
What the. Is it a group? Sounds like a fish.
Alex
It does sound like.
Akash Singh
I don't know what the etymology.
Alex
Let's not. Let's not pull a Jimmy Kimmel right now and try to identify what party this guy was from. Let's just say.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no. This has nothing to do with the party. I'm just saying. I'm just talking about the climate. Yeah, I know that the climate of the world would be completely different if Donald Trump was white.
Akash Singh
Yeah, let's leave it at that. It'll be different. There's no causation.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, exactly. The climate of the world would be completely different.
Alex
Yeah, absolutely. And saw four years of Biden, and it was a lot quieter.
Andrew Schulz
And I don't know why. Once again, everybody's not going back to the root. None of this would be happening right now if President Biden didn't lead with ego. The original. And if everybody around President Biden didn't lie to him about the condition that he was in, if they didn't try to tell us, the American people, that we were tripping when we called him out for being like, this guy can't win. This guy's oldest shit. Why all of a sudden now everybody's just acting so clueless.
Akash Singh
The guy was stumbling all over interviews, and then people were like, behind closed doors, he's as sharp as he's ever been. No, he's not.
Andrew Schulz
You shouldn't be blaming no voters. You shouldn't even be blaming Trump. You should blame the Democrat. No, Chris. How the Democrats had the power. You say they had it for four years. Chris.
Chris
You're acting like Trump behaving the way he's behaving, moving the way he's moving, is a foregone conclusion. He is not a kid.
Alex
That's good.
Andrew Schulz
What do you mean?
Chris
I mean, Biden lost. His legacy is over. But when you talk about furious. I'm furious at Trump. I'm not furious at Biden.
Akash Singh
Can you be furious at both?
Chris
I mean, I wish he had done a thousand things differently. I wish his circle.
Andrew Schulz
His point is we wouldn't have Trump.
Chris
But it's almost like, well, Trump just has to be Trump. He has no choice in the matter.
Akash Singh
We're not. We're not removing him from being any culpability. But what I think Charlamagne is saying is you knew what he was gonna be. You knew what for sure. You guys told us on every turn what a threat he was.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Akash Singh
And maybe we didn't listen enough. But also, you didn't give us an alternative that was very appealing at all.
Andrew Schulz
And you didn't act like he was actually that type of threat. You just said it. But you never did anything to actually show a vote they thought Biden could.
Chris
Win because he'd won once. Honestly, I think it's that.
Akash Singh
I think that's what they thought, and I guess that's. I think they didn't give credit to the Democratic voters.
Chris
Right.
Akash Singh
That if they Let. If they had a primary, they would be able to do it. I also think they didn't trust moderates to vote for a woman of color, which there's probably a lot of people who wouldn't have. But if you let Kamala go on some of these other flagrant, I swear to God would have made her look great. It was not. It's never our intention to make a guest look bad and we're pretty good at it.
Andrew Schulz
But y' all are version of herself. Y' all are. Y' all are missing the point. But I want y' all to step back again. We wouldn't even have got the Kamala if Joe Biden would have said, hey, I'm going to be a one term president.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I agree.
Andrew Schulz
Because then there would have been a primary and then there would have been a bunch of other candidates and that that bench of Democratic candidates that they had, they could have had them all out there.
Chris
This is my question. Who's the they in this scenario?
Andrew Schulz
Right.
Akash Singh
Because it's like the Pelosi's or whoever, the general.
Andrew Schulz
All of them that push the. Have you read the Original Sin?
Chris
No, I need to.
Andrew Schulz
You got to read the original sin and you got to read Kamala's 100. I read.
Chris
I read half of Original Sin. I thought you talked about Kamala's book.
Andrew Schulz
It tells you who all of the days are.
Chris
So the question is there's a vacuum now in terms of Democratic leadership. Right. Clearly whoever the they is, and I don't know who they are by person, they failed. Right. Like there's no other way to look. Yes, they fucked this up.
Andrew Schulz
That's right.
Chris
So who's coming in now?
Akash Singh
Jon Stewart.
Andrew Schulz
But see, but that's why I love Kamala's book. And that's why I keep saying Democrats shouldn't be in their feelings about this book. If you get out of your feelings and you actually embrace the truth that she's saying, it's perfect because she blows it all up.
Akash Singh
What did she say?
Andrew Schulz
She basically said that the old regime was undermining her. The Biden administration was undermining her at every turn. And they all should have taken the threat of Donald Trump more seriously and shouldn't have left it up to Joe Biden's ego. Remember what I was telling you about last night that went viral this week? Not me saying it, but about how Joe Biden called her on debate day to basically get in her head and tell her that these other donors don't fuck with her like that and to make me look good and blah, blah, blah, this and that. She was like, why would you do this to me on debate day?
Chris
This is my question.
Akash Singh
But then I don't know if she.
Chris
Addresses in the book. Why didn't she throw an audible? And it's easy for me to say that sitting here.
Andrew Schulz
Loyalty. Blind loyalty. Literally blind loyalty. That's what she keeps saying. Blind. She was, that's.
Akash Singh
Then you're not electable. I don't want you to be president. I want you to be a leader. If you're going to bring loyalty over common sense, that's something I would do and I shouldn't be president.
Andrew Schulz
You're right.
Akash Singh
What I mean, like, to your point, she, I think, is also just. She's not really admitting any wrongdoing. Go platforms. Okay. Based on what you're saying.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. In her book she does.
Akash Singh
She did wrong. She trusted.
Andrew Schulz
She was too loyal. Literally. That's all.
Akash Singh
What a flaw that is. What an easy way to say some.
Alex
Come on. Like he put her in that position.
Akash Singh
If I killed somebody that insulted my friend and they, and then I, I was at my parole hearing and they're like, what do you think you did wrong? I was like, I was too loyal. No, you murdered someone.
Andrew Schulz
That's true.
Akash Singh
You fucked up a lot of things. And saying I was too loyal is the most self flattering way to say I fucked up.
Alex
I get what you're saying, but that's not a good reason. I mean, he didn't kill anybody. He was just a little bit off.
Akash Singh
He was not mentally.
Alex
He wasn't as sharp mentally. But if she's trying to have a conversation with him and he's saying, hey, I'm good enough to run, what does.
Akash Singh
She mean, no, no, no. When they ask you this and I think honestly, what we forget. And I think this is where she lost the election.
Andrew Schulz
The view.
Akash Singh
The view. What would you differently than. What would you do differently than Joe Biden? I can't think of anything right there. It's over.
Andrew Schulz
She got a whole. She got a whole. She got a whole chapter about it in the book and she admits I fucked up right here.
Alex
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Not because I was too loyal. Because you decided she said that out.
Alex
Of loyalty to not make him look bad.
Andrew Schulz
That's right.
Akash Singh
Then you're. Then you shouldn't be running the country. That's not a person who's like, you know what? I'm going to put loyalty ahead of the general. Well, being of a country is not fit to be president.
Andrew Schulz
She says, and I'm paraphrasing. In that chapter also.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just became friends three years ago.
Andrew Schulz
No, they've been friends for a while. She. She said.
Alex
She said this put her in that position.
Akash Singh
Did she? Remember, she.
Andrew Schulz
Her and Bo used to be really cool.
Akash Singh
Remember she dogged his ass out at the first primary debate? Joe, that's all my feelings. That really hurt my feelings when you said that in tears, you weren't loyal.
Andrew Schulz
Then she. She says in that chapter that she basically. She. She. Basically, she. She. She. She forgot, but she didn't realize how much what they were actually doing wasn't resonating with people. And I'm paraphrasing here, because she didn't. She knew Joe Biden was unpopular, but she just thought that everybody could see the difference between her and Joe, which I don't understand why she would think that. They just met you. Like, you just started running a few.
Akash Singh
Weeks ago, and you said he didn't do anything wrong. So how are we going to differentiate. Differentiate the two?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex
She was in a hard position. Like, I mean, she was in a.
Andrew Schulz
Hard position because she was playing politics.
Alex
Exactly. But, I mean, that's what she's been doing. She's a career politician.
Andrew Schulz
She's a career politician, man. I'm not gonna lie.
Akash Singh
I am blindly loyal to Andrew. I am blindly loyal to you. I am blindly loyal to Alex. Don't vote for me for a single fucking thing, ever. I wouldn't run for a single.
Andrew Schulz
By the way, I don't even call that blindly loyal. I'm riding for my people.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I'm saying? Right or wrong. I'd rather you say that I'm riding for my people. Right or wrong.
Alex
That's her version of saying that I'm loyal.
Andrew Schulz
Nah. Cause I'm not blind with my loyalty. My loyalty can see very well. You know what I'm saying? I'm not blind with it. And y' all should be able to see. Like, I already know how he gonna come about his people. Yeah. Okay, so that's not blind loyalty. Blind loyalty question.
Alex
If Andrew says some crazy shit, you're not gonna get publicly say, I agree with you. I don't understand what.
Akash Singh
I don't know what he said. I agree with it.
Alex
You're not going to get online and.
Andrew Schulz
I'm acting like I didn't see it. Now I'm just. But that's just blind.
Alex
But that's what she did. That's exactly what she did. Okay, yeah, she did the same thing.
Akash Singh
But that's why you shouldn't Be President. That's why you shouldn't run.
Alex
Oh, okay.
Akash Singh
But she should have said, I'm not going to run. I know I'm not prepared to go against this guy and I know people aren't happy with him. I'm not going to run. I just think it's a very easy thing to be like to write entire books saying, yeah, hey, I'll tell you what we fucked up. It's cuz I was too loyal.
Andrew Schulz
Somebody had to do it though.
Akash Singh
That's my flaw.
Andrew Schulz
No, I know somebody had to do it, Akash, because I've been saying whoever's gonna lead the party now and into the future has to throw the old regime under the bus. There's nobody better to do it than her. It's one thing when you hear from Jake Tapper and all these anonymous sources, when the actual VP says, no, we fucked up. I was a part of the fuck up. This is where we fucked up. I'm with that. My only problem is when you go on TV now, have that same energy.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I just read the book, so I'm looking forward to seeing some interviews and I'm like, what do you mean you didn't say this and that? Like, what do you mean? You didn't mean it that way?
Akash Singh
Like, no, that's another reason she probably didn't win.
Alex
But that's not just.
Akash Singh
We can't just do racism, sexism.
Alex
They go back to the politician bag. They become a politician when they are public speaking.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I'm not with the racism, sexism thing. When 72 million plus people vote for you. No. Yeah. And as she said, it was the closest election of the 21st century. That's what she said. It was number wise. She just got swept in all the swing states.
Akash Singh
Yeah, sure.
Andrew Schulz
And even with Hillary. Yo, Hillary won the popular vote by over 3 million, 4 million votes. As men, we shouldn't allow the sexism shit, bro.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I don't.
Andrew Schulz
He was out there. I voted for Hillary and Kamala.
Alex
Yeah, me too.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I'm saying? I ain't like, I don't like that sexism conversation. Yeah, because once again, Hillary had 3 million 4 million more the popular vote than Donald Trump if not for that fucked up electoral college. Hillary Clinton is president. Yep.
Akash Singh
It's true.
Andrew Schulz
Kamala Harris had the second highest votes of any Democratic nominee ever.
Alex
Oh, I didn't know that.
Andrew Schulz
Yes, behind Joe Biden because we voted a lot more. You know, that's the one. Still, Gary, Every time I say that, it don't even feel Right.
Alex
See what you said?
Andrew Schulz
I'm not saying nothing, but every time I say that.
Akash Singh
Say what?
Andrew Schulz
When I'd be like, she had the second highest.
Akash Singh
Because, you know you're capping ever.
Andrew Schulz
Because. No, it's true.
Akash Singh
It's true. But, you know, spiritually, you're capping.
Andrew Schulz
This is just how.
Akash Singh
That's why I just want to know how. Because you are. You know when Ben Shapiro's like, facts don't support your feelings, but the facts he have all support his feelings. It's like conveniently handpicked facts that the facts don't support.
Andrew Schulz
The facts don't support my feelings because of how bad I'm looking at how things were, because of what I saw.
Akash Singh
I just saw a lot of this. And I didn't hear what you said.
Andrew Schulz
Because of 100%, because you were doing.
Akash Singh
A lot of auntie movements.
Andrew Schulz
It's just like, how the fuck did Joe Biden get all those votes?
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, because he didn't.
Andrew Schulz
I'm not saying he didn't. He clearly did.
Akash Singh
No, I think that's what you're saying.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I'm saying. Yeah.
Alex
I sounded a lot like Trump.
Andrew Schulz
Right? Nowhere.
Alex
That's what it's called.
Andrew Schulz
Trump would have straight up said the election was rigged.
Akash Singh
Oh, I thought that's what you're saying.
Andrew Schulz
No, that's what it sounds like y' all saying. Who said that?
Alex
That's what it sounds like yesterday.
Andrew Schulz
Wow. You sure you got that from.
Akash Singh
From that? It's more fun if I do.
Andrew Schulz
Damn.
Alex
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
But back to Jimmy Kimmel's monologue. I just felt it was too safe for the moment.
Akash Singh
I thought you're trying to be classy, and Jimmy's not a guy who I would think would just fire bazookas at anything. Like Schultz would go super hard and super reckless. I never saw Kimmel as that guy.
Andrew Schulz
And the fact that Sinclair Networks still didn't put the show back on. Sinclair Networks is still wanting him to apologize. They want him to donate a bunch of money to the Charlie Kirk Foundation. As we said, free speech is under attack.
Akash Singh
Why do y' all donate?
Andrew Schulz
And, you know, Trump is. Trump got a list. Like, I just felt like it was just too safe, especially being we know what the outcome is ultimately going to be.
Akash Singh
You think he still gets canned? Yes.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Alex
I don't think so.
Andrew Schulz
At some. Yes. At some point. Yes.
Alex
I don't think so.
Andrew Schulz
Sinclair is not putting his show on, bro. Yeah, but Sinclair is, like, they said Sinclair is, like, responsible for majority of his markets. 60 different markets. And they don't. They're not carrying this show.
Alex
Disney has deep enough pockets where they can eat that.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know, bro. They do. I don't know, bro. And Sinclair wants the merger with Tegna. I guess a lot going on here. I think ultimately Trump gets his way. I really do get his way. Yeah, he already got his way. That's the thing.
Alex
He probably will.
Andrew Schulz
How?
Chris
The fact that it even is at this point.
Akash Singh
He won.
Chris
A president can't. I mean, there's a million things I could say, but I think what Kimmel needs to understand is it's not about him anymore. And that's what I had hoped he understood.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. Which. That's what I'm trying to say. Chris, go ahead.
Chris
It's not about you and your show anymore.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Chris
Your show was the one that was picked at this moment to see what Trump could get away with, and he.
Andrew Schulz
Got away with it.
Chris
And from this moment on, it's about protecting democracy.
Andrew Schulz
But that's why I said he played it too safe. This moment.
Chris
He has to be a warrior right now.
Andrew Schulz
Yes. It's all up there. Yes.
Chris
For everyone's sake. Honestly. Because the pendulum swings both ways. One party or group can be in power now. If this keeps going on, it's going to come back and smack all the Trump supporters in four years.
Andrew Schulz
And then.
Chris
No, it almost has to.
Andrew Schulz
I'm with you, Chris, but we know Democrats too pussy for that to happen. I would agree with you if they weren't so pussy. That's why Republicans aren't afraid of it. They're like, give him the gun. I turn my back on this motherfucker, he ain't going to do.
Akash Singh
You heard the thing that the Biden administration was putting pressure on Google to censor a bunch of stuff, a bunch of stuff on YouTube. They were also violating free speech, which is the same thing as what the FCC did to Kimmel in a way.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but it's more like a. That's like a. That's like a kid threatening you. Put him up. Put him up. I want to fight you. I'm gonna fight you this tall. Let's fight. Let's fight.
Akash Singh
But why? Our first Alex Jones episode got taken down, probably for the best, but because he said some shit about vaccines that they said is misinformation. Episode is gone forever.
Andrew Schulz
Really?
Akash Singh
Well, Alex also didn't back it up, but I think he did that on purpose.
Andrew Schulz
No, hold on. You never record. You didn't back up. You didn't back it up.
Alex
I ain't like that guy. I don't care. I don't care. I do not.
Andrew Schulz
You made an executive decision.
Akash Singh
No, he never recorded. He never backed up anything. But I, you know.
Andrew Schulz
You made an executive decision.
Alex
Yeah, I'm not going.
Andrew Schulz
Sometimes you got to save people by that from yourself. I'm not mad at that.
Akash Singh
All right.
Alex
But one thing people aren't pointing out is that Kimball did point out how the FCC chair had made those threats. Like, he basically outlined how, hey, we got a case if y' all want to take it there. And I think that's why he didn't want to go so hard. He's like, hey, what do you mean.
Andrew Schulz
The FCC got a case?
Alex
No, no, no. Disney. Disney and Kibble, they have a case against who? Because the FCC publicly. This is the government putting pressure on private institutions to.
Andrew Schulz
But I didn't need Jimmy's monologue to know that. We heard it.
Alex
I know we saw it. That was kind of. It was like a veiled threat where.
Andrew Schulz
It'S like, I don't think it was veiled. I didn't think it was veiled at all. Like, we saw it. He literally said, we could do this the easy way or the hard way. Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel or, you know, there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead. No, Jimmy's response.
Akash Singh
But how is Jimmy's response a veiled threat?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I don't.
Alex
Basically, like, they can sue.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but how can they. How is Jimmy telling the government or whoever they would sue that, hey, just so you know, we still got that in our back pocket. You're saying that's what he was implying?
Alex
Yeah.
Akash Singh
How?
Alex
By pointing out. He was like, hey, this is the government. Fcc, putting pressure on a private institution. Like, he just pointed it out, said it publicly, and I think.
Akash Singh
Oh, he said that in his monologue?
Alex
Yeah, in the monologue.
Akash Singh
Yeah, he did. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I saw that when he had. The guy played a mob boss. That was Robert De Niro.
Akash Singh
That was Robert De Niro. That was in the different. But he also, I think, said it. This is why we fight for free speech.
Alex
So I think that's enough. Where it's just like, it's going to be on Disney whether or not they want to fight that fight.
Andrew Schulz
They're not. And that's my whole point. When I keep saying about. When I even talk about Trump's list, Trump has a list of people that he wants to attack, and you had the FCC chair make a blatant threat. But all we're having these conversations about free speech, and, you know, comedians are surprised that Trump is doing it. Like, can we look at the other issues?
Akash Singh
That felt hurtful.
Andrew Schulz
Cause it is you. Oh, y' all are the poster children for this. It's only you and Andrew. Every time I see it, it's like, him, Andrew Rogan. Like, y' all are the poster children for. Oh, really? Y' all couldn't believe this.
Akash Singh
You know, I wanted to be a part of the conversation for most of my career. Now that I'm in it. Not that great. Not that great. I was doing okay before.
Andrew Schulz
But you know what, though? The funny thing about the conversation is every time people bring it up to me, I'm like, guys, I promise you, they just did not know. I know it sounds crazy, but here's the thing. And I'm not shooting nobody. No bail, but it's just hilarious. Right? People say comedians don't know the stakes of this, so they shouldn't be talking to the politicians. And then when things like this happen, they're like, y' all should have known better. Which one is it? Like, which one is it? Which one is it?
Akash Singh
I think their point is we shouldn't have talked to him.
Andrew Schulz
Y' all should have talked to him.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I. I would just say I. If I have a chance to talk to a guy, and I. I literally looked up because I was like, how big of a difference did we make? Polls when we interviewed him were too close to call. Trump typically overperforms in the polls.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
It's probable. If we don't talk to him, he still wins. I mean, but I was like, let's talk to the guy, see if I can get through to him at all. I don't think I did.
Andrew Schulz
Me and Dolly. Me and Dolly Bishop, the president of the Black Effect Network. We. We spoke on a panel.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
The other day, and, man, I thought it was a trick question because it was a live audio. The lady was like, would you do an interview with Trump? I'm like, I don't have no fucking choice. He got the FCC in his pocket. What is this?
Akash Singh
Even without FCC threats, you'd do it. You're a good.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, yeah, I would. No, I would.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Why wouldn't I?
Akash Singh
Yeah. I trust you to interview more than most people, bro.
Andrew Schulz
I grew up on fucking Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters and Oprah Winfrey. They interviewed people who ate folks.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Jeffrey Dahmer literally. Ate people.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Charlie Manson had a coat. He was killing folk. Of course I'm gonna talk to Donald Trump. Like absolutely. Talking about like she went to Cuban interview for Dale Castro.
Alex
The people who complained would say, yeah, but those are journalists.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, Yeah, I don't know what that is anymore. I don't, I don't. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that is anymore. Like who, what, what does that mean? I don't know what that means anymore. Because the journalists, the so called journalists are the journalists. The people that's on cable, dudes all the time. They've been asking pussy ass questions for the last decade. You know what I'm saying? Or the journalists, the people that's in the press room. Cause they've been asking pussy ass questions for the last decade. That's why the best questions. Charlemagne's on fire, right? True. That's why the best questions have been coming from the new media and coming from people who aren't the so called journalists. So it's like, what's the problem?
Akash Singh
Damn.
Andrew Schulz
It's just the truth.
Akash Singh
It's the sexiest charlamagne has ever been.
Andrew Schulz
Man, shut the fuck up, man. Shut up.
Akash Singh
What happened? I'm too gay for you?
Andrew Schulz
No, there's no such thing. You can't. I don't think it's too many people can outgame.
Akash Singh
You haven't hung out with enough white people.
Alex
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, tell them about verbally then.
Akash Singh
Tell them verbally.
Alex
Human shot.
Akash Singh
Yo, Mark Gagnon was telling us he took body shots off of dudes and we were like, that's crazy. So you just like drank the shot glass off of their stomach and he was like, no, you fill their belly button with liquor and then you outgay that. Watch.
Andrew Schulz
Come on. I've never done that. But that's not gay.
Akash Singh
How. What is it?
Andrew Schulz
Straight gay would be like, like, like using a guy's dick to stir a drink and then sucking this. Like, you know, you put the straw in your mouth real quick to lick the lick off.
Akash Singh
Just sucking a dick.
Alex
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What you're saying.
Andrew Schulz
I didn't say suck it. Like you don't suck the straw. Like you might do like this and then, you know, put the straw in your mouth.
Akash Singh
You put your mouth around the straw and then you inhale.
Andrew Schulz
So imagine you.
Akash Singh
What do you think sucking a dick is?
Andrew Schulz
Imagine using a dick as a straw.
Akash Singh
That's not sucking a dick.
Andrew Schulz
No, you don't suck a straw. You suck straws.
Alex
Yes. How does the liquid go through it?
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, I meant the straw you use to stir the drink. I don't mean like the.
Alex
Like a spoon, like.
Andrew Schulz
No, you know, the little shaker or something. The straws that aren't suckable.
Akash Singh
Like a coffee you put sugar in.
Andrew Schulz
Yes, that. Whatever. I'm talking about the stirrer. Stirrer.
Akash Singh
You lick it. That's sucking a dick.
Andrew Schulz
No, that's just licking it. Now, what if you was using. What if you was using the dick as a stir? So you use the dick as a stir. You just licked a little bit of coffee off the dick. But go back to drinking your coffee.
Akash Singh
You seen porn, you know they lick the dick. That's the beginning. That's just you're sucking.
Andrew Schulz
Really?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I don't watch gay porn, so I wouldn't know.
Akash Singh
You know what? Straight porn has dick sucking too, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, I thought you like.
Akash Singh
What? No. Is it. Hey, this is why the title is perfect. Because this is the smartest Guy. I know. I know, I know, I know.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I thought you was.
Akash Singh
Perfect title.
Andrew Schulz
No, I thought you was talking about gay porn. Salute to DraftKings. DraftKings Casino has your playbook for gaming action all season long. Play thousands of popular slots for a shot at jackpots.

In fact, drivers with low credit end up paying 118% more for full coverage auto insurance than those with excellent credit. But that's where kickoff comes in. It's a smarter, faster way to start building real credit without the usual headaches. Now listen, I was a guy who back in the day had terrible credit. Actually, I had no credit back in the day.
Akash Singh
Really?
Andrew Schulz
No credit?
Akash Singh
You didn't have good credit? I'm so surprised, man.
Andrew Schulz
Shut up. So I didn't have no credit.
Akash Singh
Why do you think that is?
Andrew Schulz
I didn't know anything about credit, Akash. I didn't know anything about credit building. So I bought a credit card to help build my credit. And over time, as in right now, I have an amazing credit score. What's your credit score, Akash?
Akash Singh
My credit score is not amazing. It's like 680 or 700.
Andrew Schulz
Really?
Akash Singh
730 or something.
Andrew Schulz
Really? What's yours, Alex?
Alex
Like 815.
Andrew Schulz
What's yours, Chris?
Chris
All right.
Akash Singh
I refuse to pay a hospital bill. I have a bit about it.
Chris
Medical bills? Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Alex
I don't think medical bills impact your credit.
Chris
Oh, then it should be all right.
Akash Singh
No, it didn't. And then mine went up to 740 or something and then now it does again and drop back down.
Chris
You have someone else who just does it all for you?
Andrew Schulz
Absolutely.
Chris
See, that's my problem. I try to do it myself and then I don't.
Akash Singh
Oh, you could have someone do that.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. What, your financial team? Yes.
Akash Singh
No, I don't.
Alex
Y' all lazy.
Andrew Schulz
Y' all need Kickoff, man.

Chris, what you said is absolutely right, and that's what I've been trying to motherfucking say. I just. I felt like this was too safe for the moment, because at this moment, it is bigger than Jimmy Kim.
Akash Singh
So you're saying the stakes were too high to not go fired?
Andrew Schulz
Yes. Man. You can't. You gotta. You gotta go. You can't try to play both sides. You can't try to make everybody feel comfortable here. Like. And I didn't like the tears.
Akash Singh
God damn sure.
Andrew Schulz
You know why I didn't like the tears?
Akash Singh
You thought they were fake.
Andrew Schulz
Because he cried when he mentioned Charlie Kirk. Yeah, he didn't cry two weeks ago or a week ago when he got.
Akash Singh
I think he was crying that people thought he would celebrate the death of, like, that is what hurt him. It's like, how would you think. I'm that kind of guy.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, that's how he should have said that, though. No, no, no. I feel like he should have said that because it felt like he was just trying to do some performative emotion.
Akash Singh
If he's that good of a prior on command, he should act.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, he has act. He's acting forever. The Man Show.
Akash Singh
The man show wasn't acting. Dude, I'm talking about Jesus Christ.
Andrew Schulz
It was acting.
Akash Singh
No, it wasn't.
Andrew Schulz
The Man Show.
Alex
It wasn't acting.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, you think that's what he was in his life?
Akash Singh
That was a talk show.
Andrew Schulz
That's just where he was in his moment. But no, he used to do sketches and stuff like that. Pretended to be called him alone, for God.
Akash Singh
That's true. That was great. And Oprah, he should have got an Emmy for that.
Andrew Schulz
It didn't bother me none. But my point is, I felt like when he was getting emotional, he was doing that to show, like, the other side. Hey, I do care, you know? And then he did, like, the apology. Not an apology. You thought he said, I'm sorry. That's how the tone sounds.
Akash Singh
Yeah, the tone felt apologetic, but he.
Andrew Schulz
Never said, I'm sorry.
Alex
I don't mind it, man. Like. Cause if you.
Andrew Schulz
If you fall through, it rolls to the moment.
Alex
Everybody goes hard. Like, when is it ever gonna stop?
Akash Singh
I understand your point.
Andrew Schulz
Stephen Colbert rose to the moment. And I like Jimmy But I just feel like all they just said was, fuck Trump. No, they didn't. They spoke to the environment that we're currently in in regards to democracy.
Akash Singh
I understand his point. His point is a lot of eyeballs are on you right now. You could really make the point because this has become larger than us. This has become an attack on free speech. This has become an attack on our Constitution. You can say something like that.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Alex
Gotcha. Okay.
Andrew Schulz
That's all.
Akash Singh
I understand your point. I'll concede. That's a good point.
Andrew Schulz
That's all.
Akash Singh
Yeah. No, I. And then hopefully he hears this or he decides he goes back. We got our show. Now tomorrow we're going to drop this online. It's going to be a crazy monologue. Let's go. I got my sorrow out of the way. I got my apology out of the way. Empathy's out there, out there. Let's go now.
Andrew Schulz
And maybe because Trump threw another jab, Trump came again, you know. Really? Yeah. Trump was like, basically like, he's upset. Yeah. How could they bring him back? We sued him for $16 million last time. Let's see what we can get this time. Yeah, Trump came right back with it.
Akash Singh
They told me he was getting fired. Like, he puts himself in it. He kind of admits that he had something.
Andrew Schulz
Yes. Trump threatens to sue abc. What's the headline, Chris? Over. Yeah. Trump threatens to sue ABC over Jimmy Kimmel's sudden return to air. A true bunch of losers.
Akash Singh
He is funny, dude. Bad president, good president, funny.
Andrew Schulz
He is. Oh, no. Where's the tweet at? Probably gonna scroll up last time.
Akash Singh
Oh, I'll look it up if I can find it.
Chris
He's yet another arm.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, he is yet another arm of the dnc. And to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major illegal campaign contribution. I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do.
Alex
They are moving like some mobsters, like some gangsters. Really?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers. Now, you know what? To your point, Akash, he did tweet this later on in the evening, and I know they tape in the afternoon.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So he did this monologue before this. So, yeah, tonight we might get, you know, what I'm looking for right now, and just what I'm looking for right now is just for him to just, you know, stand up for democracy. Like, you know, there's no need to play it safe at a time like this especially when you still might get your head cut off.
Alex
That's true.
Chris
There's so much hypocrisy here. But the one that really kills me is when Trump tries to make this about ratings, right? Like Republicans historically have been the party hands off government, right? Like Democrats overregulate over government. Everything. Like, we got to step back and let the free market cook and do what it does. Now he gives a fuck about ratings. Now this guy should go because of the fucking ratings. Now they're that much in the weeds of. Of the success of a TV network. It's such blatant bullshit. Jesus.
Akash Singh
You know what other hypocrisy I've noticed? You guys heard the H1B visa thing. They're going to charge a hundred thousand dollars for H1B visas. Yeah. What is it now? They've walked some of it back, but the initial thing is an H1B visa higher. You had to pay a hundred thousand dollars a year maybe for each hire initially, and then they've walked it back to something else. Either way, a lot of people just hearing that you're going to charge for H1B visa people and keep them out of America. A lot of conservatives were very happy about this. America is for Americans, blah, blah, blah. You are supporting dei.
Andrew Schulz
When you say, break it down.
Akash Singh
Hey, you know what an H1B visa is? It's the most qualified person you can find to do the job. So bring him to America and let him do the job. When you say, I don't want these engineers coming for India from India and taking our jobs, what you were saying is I want diversity in engineering. I want equity in engineering. And I, as a white person, want inclusion in engineering in or medicine or whatever other field you want. Dei, you just want it for you. Y' all are the same on both sides. It drives me insane that you don't see that. How you not want the smartest people in the world coming to America. Isn't that what capitalism is? Isn't that what a free market is? Isn't that what giving the best and brightest the best positions is? Now suddenly you're not okay with it because you're not getting the jobs? Yeah, dei, y' all some cucks. Y' all some cucks.
Andrew Schulz
Where do we go from here, man?
Akash Singh
I say bring in more Indians. That's my general solution. Huh?
Chris
And Taiwanese.
Akash Singh
And Taiwanese. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris
Taiwanese engineers and Indians. That's the answer.
Andrew Schulz
I actually believe majority of white people in positions of power wouldn't have any problem with that as long as they can control you.
Alex
They are actually.
Chris
They do control you. You're on a visa.
Andrew Schulz
That's what I mean. Like, but they want. They want, like, ultimate control. As long as they can control you and you work for them, they have no problem with that.
Akash Singh
Maybe people in power. I don't think people in power were super felt one way or the other by the H1B visa thing. It's a lot of people on Twitter who could be bots. That's another thing. Exactly how much of what we're reacting to is, but myself included is bots, man.
Andrew Schulz
When y' all realize how deep the bot game is, you will really stop.
Akash Singh
I'm finally starting to. I heard 62% or something like this.
Andrew Schulz
It's unbelievable. Like, there was articles about this shit three years ago. Chris, how long we been on this shit? Like, we know been. No, this was bots. The YouTube videos people are creating are AI generated. Like, this shit is not real. Like, they don't really. I don't even think the world is as. This might sound crazy to some. I don't think the world is as divided as people make it. No, I don't think that's on social media. Agree.
Akash Singh
You're quite possibly right.
Andrew Schulz
I really don't believe that.
Akash Singh
When I saw that 62% thing, that was the first time my mind was like, oh, maybe it really is that. That many bots. And then I. You know, I still forget and whatever. But, like, you might be right. Maybe we'll finally wrap our minds around the idea that so much of this is fake and the real life is out there. In real life, we're not super divided.
Andrew Schulz
And you'll see. You'll really see it when you hang out around a lot of artists. Because some artists get so much online, like. Like, and I use Big Cardi, for example. They get so much online that they sometimes forget how much people love them in the real world. You know what I'm saying? And then they put out an album and it goes number one. And then they go do shows in the arena. It's packed. And they like, oh, shit. Yeah. Cause this shit on social media is some bullshit. Yes. People hire bots. They create these campaigns just to motherfucking attack you.
Akash Singh
Yeah. I don't know anyone who dislikes Cardi.
Andrew Schulz
Really.
Akash Singh
National treasure, dude.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, you.
Akash Singh
Okay, if you're funny, you're gonna get forgiveness. And for us, that's part of what gave Trump so much grace.
Andrew Schulz
For the eight years, I ain't seen nobody chuckling in a Minute. That motherfucker ain't said he stop being funny.
Akash Singh
It's the problem.
Alex
Yeah, he kind of fell off.
Andrew Schulz
No, he kind of fell off. Nah, he ain't said nothing that slapped in a minute.
Akash Singh
No, I know.
Andrew Schulz
I'm funny.
Akash Singh
That true. Bunch of losers. And if he kept doing that, he'd probably. I'd probably have him on again.
Andrew Schulz
Nah, you wouldn't. But, you know, that's. Now, that's a great question. Akash.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Would y' all interview Trump again? Off.
Akash Singh
I would interview Trump in a fucking second.
Andrew Schulz
You got to.
Akash Singh
In a fucking second.
Andrew Schulz
Would you handle it differently?
Akash Singh
Yeah. Now, my thought process at the time was I want to get to certain questions about the rhetoric. That was the main thing I wanted to ask, but I knew I needed to kind of, like, make him comfortable and let him feel like he wasn't being attacked. Now, the vibe would be a little different because he already knows what we've said at this point. So, like, I'd still try to be as civil as I could because in my mind, if I get him to get up and walk out, that would look great for me personally. But it would be a clout, Chasey thing to do. Like, it wouldn't lead to anything. It would just be me having a moment where I kind of dunk on him. And then everybody on the left is like, look at this.
Andrew Schulz
You want the conversation?
Akash Singh
I want to have a conversation. Let's actually try to do something productive. Let's endeavor. I love that word. That's what Schultz says about Mamdani. He's endeavoring to make New York better. I want to endeavor to have a productive conversation. We probably can't. Almost certain we can't. I'm going to try.
Andrew Schulz
No, I have a. I have a whole strategy to interview Trevor. What's your strategy? I don't want to say.
Akash Singh
I would love to know the strategy.
Andrew Schulz
But here's the thing.
Akash Singh
Can you. What I say. I don't understand.
Andrew Schulz
Come on, straighten this conversation. Come on, Come on. I don't know.
Chris
I mean, I think when you sit down to interview somebody, there's a basic understanding and acceptance of the. Let's call it the terms of the interview. Some people aren't always going to tell the whole truth, but they're going to. If presented with facts or certain truth, they're going to respond to it. Like, you could say anything to Trump. You could trap him and catch him in a million corners, in a hundred lies directly, you know, showing quotes that directly contradict something he said five seconds previous. It doesn't fucking matter.
Andrew Schulz
There's a way to do it.
Chris
He's not going to cope to any of it.
Andrew Schulz
There's a way to do it and I don't care. I might as well say it, because I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity. You got to use the mirror effect on him. Not in the way that Gavin Newsom is doing. You literally have to play his own words to him. Don't say them to him. Don't say you said this, because he'll just say, you lying. Play it so your viewing audience and the people that are listening can watch his reaction to his own words. Let's see what we get from that.
Alex
You do that one time, he realizes what type of interview this is, he's out of there.
Andrew Schulz
I don't care. That's why you make sure that the first couple of things are your doozies, like your joints, like the ones that you. The method you want.
Chris
You can't come out with bombs, you can't come out with jabs.
Andrew Schulz
That's right. That's right.
Akash Singh
I also think you would just bounce off of him. I don't think. I don't think this is as strong as you think it is.
Alex
Yeah. Like, we. I don't know, we called him out for not being truthful. He's like, yeah, I'm sometimes truthful.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no, no. But you got to be specific and show his own words to him. You said this about free speech back then. What changed? Like, show him. Like, show him his words and let him react to himself, because we're always reacting to him.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
When has Trump ever had to react to Trump?
Akash Singh
It's a unique. It's a unique strategy, for sure. I never heard of it.
Andrew Schulz
Somebody said, I forgot what I was listening to. I don't know if you were the popping.
Akash Singh
If you did that.
Andrew Schulz
The screams would be crazy on that one.
Akash Singh
Right.
Andrew Schulz
Listen. But I don't know if it was Rogan I was watching or Jon Stewart, but I forgot who he was talking to. And he was just saying he used the term. You might know the term, Chris, I think I texted you when I saw this. But he was saying how he believes, he truly believes. Trump believes everything that's coming out of his mouth.
Chris
Right.
Andrew Schulz
I forgot it's a term for it, though. It was based off somebody, like a old politician or old celebrity. I can't remember what it was. But he was saying he believes that when Trump talks, he actually believes the things that are coming out of his mouth. So if so, show him what he said, don't tell him. Show him he's looking at himself.
Alex
Yeah, I don't think he believes everything that comes up. I think he's like, hey, what do I need to say? This speech? Okay, I'm gonna say that this time and then once that's gone, it's a whole new point.
Akash Singh
I think it's just about winning. I just gotta win what makes me win. I'll figure out the rest of it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris
I just, I just googled. What do you call someone who believes their own lies trying to figure out the term? A pathological liar.
Akash Singh
That's kind of what I thought it might be.
Chris
There it is.
Andrew Schulz
I was telling y' all earlier before the show started, man, there is no such thing as a liar anymore. And I always said nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more. Is more entertaining. But people really don't care no more. People will get on platforms and say bold faced lies and not just say them like, hey, this is what I believe will say it and say like for example, I'm the chairman of Revolt, right? And then when Revolt disputes it, double and triple down and say, tell me, yo, I seen some shit. The day he said Dame, dad said, why can't Lauren tell me who said it? I'm the chairman, I can fire them. She still hasn't FaceTimed me. I could have showed her all the proof but she didn't want it. So I was like, well who said that? You know, I'm the chairman now I'll fire them. She wouldn't tell me who. I'm like, oh my God, what do we even deal? This shit came out the day. But the day where we're taping it, I'm like, what do we even do? So when you, when we've gotten to this point, nothing matters. Akash. Yeah.
Akash Singh
You pick your own reality. I saw the reaction to your. And obviously we're biased toward you, but the reaction to your stuff, people were like, damn. Really? Telling Charlamagne. It's like, he's not telling him anything. He's not answering anything.
Andrew Schulz
Well, no, but it depends. If you watch the whole thing in full, you have a different perspective.
Akash Singh
I did actually. By the end I was like, oh, I think they actually like each other. Whereas before it seemed very confrontational. By the end it felt I was like, oh, I think I couldn't get away with saying this stuff about Dame because I think Dame has a level of respect for Charlamagne that I don't dislike.
Andrew Schulz
Dame in no way shape Yeah, I don't think.
Akash Singh
And I think Charlamagne dislikes Dame. I was like, oh, I think they actually have like a friendly thing.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know. I don't know him outside of him coming to Breakfast Club. We might have spoke like one time outside of Breakfast Club. I don't know him outside of him coming to Breakfast Club, but I enjoy that. Yeah, that's fun.
Akash Singh
It's very fun. It's very fun to watch.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I'm saying? Like, that's fun. But let's. But it has to be fun with a level of honesty. Like when you just up here fucking with people's realities, it's like, come on. But that's the world we live in. Nobody cares anymore. And that's why. That's something somebody like Trump has mastered. Historically, politicians have mastered that, period. But now we live in an era where there's no curtain no more. So everybody can peel back layers, everybody can have an opinion about things. So it's very hard to keep up the lie. That's the people we should actually be very, very like, wow, that's impressive, bro, that you can keep that lie up in 2025 under all this scrutiny, you know what I'm saying? When you're bombarded with all this scrutiny and people calling you out on your shit and saying that you're lying and you're like, no, it's not me, it's y'. All. If you can keep. God damn.
Akash Singh
If you can keep a straight face under all that scrutiny, that's imp. That's impressive, dude. You got.
Andrew Schulz
Let's pay some bills. Let's pay some bills.
Akash Singh

Alex
I guess I think he would be third.
Andrew Schulz
Nah, he's fourth. I read it this morning. It was in the New York Post. It was in. No, actually, it was in the New York Times in the article about how the number of police misconduct cases has surged under Eric Adams and they said he's fourth and fourth. I asked him that.
Akash Singh
I was like, oh, that's just a feeling.
Andrew Schulz
I'm like, you're fourth in polling. Why do you think you can still win? But yeah, he's number four right now.

Our schedules never line up because you line ads. Yes.
Akash Singh
That handsome. I saw him.
Andrew Schulz
Oh yeah.
Akash Singh
Again.
Andrew Schulz
Y', all.
Akash Singh
I got a better look this time.
Andrew Schulz
Where you was at now?
Akash Singh
He was at the Mew Mew store. My wife was there spending money.
Andrew Schulz
And why you ain't say hi?
Akash Singh
Because I. We. I talk about it. My wife said hi. I was like, what are you doing? Hi.
Andrew Schulz
I really like Jay. That's the problem.
Alex
No, you really like what it is.
Andrew Schulz
Because Jay is a nice guy. Jay is a great feature.
Akash Singh
Not a monk. I would say this to his face.
Andrew Schulz
He never said he was.
Akash Singh
The book is called Think like a Monk.
Andrew Schulz
Think, Think. Akash, think. Okay. Think like a man.
Akash Singh
How would he know?
Andrew Schulz
Same way Steve Harvey could say act like a lady, think like a man. Oh, is it think like a man, act like a lady. Which one is it?
Akash Singh
He's a man. So he knows how a man thinks.
Andrew Schulz
Act like a lady.
Akash Singh
He wouldn't say think like a lady because he doesn't know how women think.
Andrew Schulz
Who is he telling to act like a lady?
Akash Singh
He's telling ladies. Here's how men think.
Andrew Schulz
How do you know he might be progressive? How do you know he's telling ladies. How do you feel about it?
Akash Singh
I have a feeling he's not that progressive.
Andrew Schulz
All I'm simply saying. But I don't remember. All I know is Jay Shetty's a great guy and you actually like him and you need to stop.
Akash Singh
I would love to like stop acting like. Stop pretending you're a monk and we'll be friends.
Andrew Schulz
He's not. He's never said he was a monk.
Akash Singh
His eyes. Dude, I'm not even saying. His eyes are so much prettier than mine.
Andrew Schulz
Oh.
Akash Singh
It's like just shits on me.
Andrew Schulz
Boy band. Oh, boy band.
Akash Singh
God Leader.
Andrew Schulz
Leader of a boy band. Oh come on, man.
Akash Singh
Wow.
Andrew Schulz
Have there ever been an Indian boy band?
Akash Singh
Yeah. Saying Mulik fine ass Zayn Mullock. That motherfucker was fine, dude. Yeah, he was stepping up for all of us.
Andrew Schulz
Damn. Do me a side by side real quick, man. Let me see Zayn and Jay. Let me see.
Akash Singh
What?
Andrew Schulz
Nah. Cause that's. I never. I didn't know Zayn was in. Yeah. Yes. I didn't know half.
Akash Singh
He's half Pakistan.
Andrew Schulz
Nah, I'm just trying to figure out who's the finest Indian man.
Akash Singh
Z, Z, A, Y, N. I never thought about this.
Andrew Schulz
Zayn versus Jay.
Akash Singh
That's not a good picture right there.
Andrew Schulz
You got to go to old school. Zayn, yeah, new. Okay.
Akash Singh
He's Indian, half indie, half Pakistani.
Andrew Schulz
Is gorgeous, dude. So what's the other half?
Akash Singh
I think white. That's why him and Gigi worked.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, Jay got it, then. Jay the man. Jay got it. I mean, it's crazy because Jay was Jay. What is Jay? Jay's full. Full. Oh, he got it.
Akash Singh
English, Indian, they're the God. Indians and Indian Indians.
Andrew Schulz
He got it. He got it. He got it. But he's a. The moral of the story is Jay Shetty is a great guy. Yo, I've had a lot of conversations with Jay, dude.
Akash Singh
Anybody on air, off air, big ups has to be very authentic and real.
Andrew Schulz
No, I love Jaden Smith. That's my. Come on. That's the. Oh, you said Jada. I love Jada, too.
Akash Singh
Oh, that's right. You love the Smith.
Andrew Schulz
How about Pinkett Smith went for Nose Carter. What are y' all talking about? These are great people. You know the problem that folks be having? They've never met these individuals. You've never spent time with them. You've never kicked it with them.
Akash Singh
Look, dude, I'm telling you, I'm sure he's a nice guy.
Andrew Schulz
So why didn't you walk up to him at the Boo Boo store? What was it where you say you was at? Why didn't you go say what's up to Jason? Because I talk.
Akash Singh
It would be phony. This is something I learned from you. You can't talk and be nice.
Andrew Schulz
But what if you're tired of talking? What if you really just want to?
Akash Singh
Then I'll say, man, I'm tired of talking. But I ain't never tired of talking. He's the thing. Charlemagne. I don't get tired of it.
Andrew Schulz
Jay's never said he was a monk, though. He said he went.
Akash Singh
Oh, my goodness. Are you kidding me?
Andrew Schulz
He said he went there for a spell.
Akash Singh
He.
Andrew Schulz
Spell like a period of time.
Akash Singh
He visited a monastery? No, he's there.
Andrew Schulz
He was.
Akash Singh
If I were to book called Think Like a Doctor and was like, yeah, I spent some time at a hospital.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. Let me ask you a question, though. Is he not good at what he does? Has Jay not helped people?
Akash Singh
I don't know. I've never known anybody that.
Andrew Schulz
I know people that Jay. I know people that live by Jay. I'VE gotten inspiration from Jay.
Akash Singh
What did you learn from Jay?
Andrew Schulz
A lot of different things. I think Jay.
Akash Singh
That sounds specific. That's not very specific.
Andrew Schulz
I'm different. I've read Jay's books. I've listened to his podcast. I think that. I think Jay is one of the best in the mental health space.
Akash Singh
Okay, but what am I saying here? That you disagree with nothing.
Andrew Schulz
But that's hate.
Akash Singh
That is hate. That's hate. That's hate.
Alex
That's what I've been saying.
Andrew Schulz
People hating on Jay Shetty. They mad that Jay Shetty is Jay Shetty. This is hate. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
Akash Singh
This a Trump supporter for Jay Shetty? You a Trump supporter for Jay Shetty?
Andrew Schulz
I judge people off their energy and I judge people off.
Akash Singh
That's the most bullshit.
Andrew Schulz
Jay's got great energy. I don't care what y' all say. He's got great energy and he. I really believe.
Akash Singh
You know who else had great energy?
Andrew Schulz
Who?
Akash Singh
Who? Donnie T. No.
Andrew Schulz
Neville.
Akash Singh
How you know?
Andrew Schulz
You're right. I know what's around him. You're right.
Akash Singh
You're right, Alex.
Alex
Okay.
Akash Singh
He don't want to answer because he don't want to.
Alex
Look, he knows Jay Shetty may have lied about the monk stuff.
Andrew Schulz
He didn't lie.
Alex
No reason for you to not like him.
Andrew Schulz
He didn't lie though.
Akash Singh
Yes, you do. He is a phony. I've said this the whole time.
Andrew Schulz
He's not phony.
Akash Singh
I don't understand what's happening here.
Andrew Schulz
He's not phony. He actually was in the school.
Akash Singh
In what school?
Andrew Schulz
This Christian consciousness shit. Whatever the fuck this shit is, man. Okay, he did not.
Akash Singh
That's the thing. He was not.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, man.
Akash Singh
Also, there's no monkey school.
Andrew Schulz
Nope.
Akash Singh
He thinks crazy.
Alex
Y' all just gotta hug it out. That's it.
Akash Singh
I have no problem.
Andrew Schulz
You like him.
Akash Singh
I'd help him. Just tell him.
Andrew Schulz
You are Akash. This is it. Akash, I feel that you too are a good judge of energy. Your energy wants you to speak to Jay Shetty. But your ego is saying, I can't speak to Jay Shetty because I shitted on Jay Shetty. But you actually are intrigued by Jay Shetty. You want to get to know him. You want to be his friend. You're lying. You see yourself in him. Just a little bit. I mean, I'm lying.
Akash Singh
Can I be honest? I was.
Andrew Schulz
And your wife probably loves you. Loves him?
Akash Singh
No, we haven't. We both talked about how hot he was. That's no problem. My wife and I, we aren't insecure about these things. We talk about hot people. There's no issue. We both were like, yeah, he's hot. She on him before I did publicly. And that's why I was like, why?
Alex
Why you gotta throw her on a bus?
Akash Singh
She's on her tik tok. The you want me to do.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, you gotta keep her honest. You gotta keep her honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
And that's why I was like, you can't do that.
Andrew Schulz
You can't talk.
Akash Singh
And then, hi. You can't do it. You can't do it.
Andrew Schulz
That's Jay Shetty, though, okay? Always remember, Akash, the most powerful prison is the one our mind creates.
Akash Singh
Would you get that off the phone?
Andrew Schulz
You know who said that?
Akash Singh
Jay Shetty.
Andrew Schulz
Jay Shetty. Okay. We must keep the promises we make to ourselves so we can trust the promises we make to others.
Akash Singh
What does that even mean?
Andrew Schulz
Jay Shetty.
Akash Singh
A lot of those quotes were stolen, yo.
Andrew Schulz
Who cares? Thank you. Who cares, yo?
Akash Singh
Thank you.
Andrew Schulz
We don't do those damn quotes.
Akash Singh
Thank you. Thank you.
Andrew Schulz
Everybody steals Cops.
Akash Singh
I'm right all the fucking time.
Andrew Schulz
Y' all post Drake lyrics all the time.
Akash Singh
How often I'm right and hang up with him. Just because Charlamagne is louder than me and Andrew's louder than me. Y' all don't know how right I am. All the fucking time. I'm right all the fucking time.
Andrew Schulz
Y' all post Will Smith quotes. Y' all post great quotes. Y'.
Akash Singh
All.
Andrew Schulz
Y' all post Gandhi. Y' all don't give the credit.
Akash Singh
Gandhi. I post Gandhi twice without getting credit.
Andrew Schulz
Shout out to Jay Shetty Joe. I got your back, Jay. Okay? Jay is a great guy.
Akash Singh
I will say I saw a Jay Shenzhe speech that was actually beautiful. He said he has a dream that one day, young black kids. He had that speech. He had another beautiful speech. It was about a ballad or a bullet. It was a beautiful speech. I don't know if you heard that one.
Andrew Schulz
Listen, man. What is this? What is this? What else we got? This is the Koch guy, man.
Chris
People like your handshake with Leo.
Andrew Schulz
They liked my handshake with Leo? Yeah, bro. The bar is in hell, bro. Like, we like handshakes or like slow news. Whenever.
Akash Singh
Was that Tiana?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, you fast forward. I had a screening the other day for One One Battle. One. One Battle after Another, which is a new action, you know, It's a comedy. It's an action comedy.
Akash Singh
You had to read the title.
Andrew Schulz
I couldn't remember what the title was. Yes, One Battle after Another. And So he held a screening for this movie. That's the screaming.
Alex
Didn't even know what the fucking.
Andrew Schulz
No, I didn't know what the movie was called. Crazy people.
Akash Singh
You know, I went to a screening. It was for one battle.
Andrew Schulz
No Warner Brothers.
Akash Singh
Time and time again, Warner Brothers. One struggle after the next.
Andrew Schulz
Warner Brothers and their PR team hit me up, and they wanted to have a screening for one Battle after another. I love doing screenings because, number one, you know, you get to get all of these people in for free to watch a movie. That's always a beautiful thing. And this was great because the cast had no idea. I mean, the audience had no idea I was gonna surprise them with the cast.
Akash Singh
Oh, that's fire.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I came out just to say what's up? And I was just talking to them about, you know, how we watch trailers for movies and try to figure out what the movie is, but nothing gives you better context than actually talking to the cast. Ooh. And then they came out like, chase. Chase was there, which is our first movie. Teiano was there. Leonardo DiCaprio, the writer. Director Paul was there. Yeah, but why did. It was just a regular handshake.
Chris
They said he went in for the third. You gave him the third dap. And he knew to. Let's see if we can find the part.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, it's at the beginning.
Chris
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Leo is down, dude. Leo's like homies with Q tip and just hanging out. Dude, There's a podcast where Leo's just hanging out with Q Tip, and they decided to do a podcast with Chris Rock and I think Dave Chappelle.
Andrew Schulz
Leo's welcome, bro. I don't. Here come. That's Chase.
Chris
One, two, three.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, okay.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I just expect everybody to know that. I'm gonna be honest. You know what I've realized growing up now, getting older, it be more black people who don't go for the third dap.
Akash Singh
Really?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. I'm getting maybe. Cause I'm getting older, so the young boys just be trying to give me handshakes. You know what I'm saying? Like, it ain't the. And I'm realizing, I guess there's a lot more. I do a lot more pounds, and a lot of people are doing a lot more pounds now, I guess, since COVID Yeah.
Akash Singh
The easiest way to do it. Bop, bop, bop, bop.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The third dap is rare, though. Like, you know, that's love.
Alex
I feel like now people kind of just do the clap and then the hug. It's not.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, yeah. The hug.
Akash Singh
I love a clap and hug.
Andrew Schulz
I like the clapping.
Akash Singh
Hug, love a clap and hug.
Andrew Schulz
I like the clap and the hug. But there is something about that third that is powerful. That's nostalgic.
Akash Singh
That means we're, like, we're exchanging energy.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
You know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah, I like that third. Heard that.
Akash Singh
That's like, I respect you.
Andrew Schulz
Can we. Can we play this? It does matter. Kanye west yelling at Kris Jenner.
Akash Singh
Yeah, dude. My wife keeps trying to get me to care about this.
Andrew Schulz
I haven't watched it. I keep hearing about it. No one from the family has taken any responsibility for my hospital visit. But if we want to go online, that's 50 of what people say, at least.
Akash Singh
Or maybe am I lying?
Andrew Schulz
It doesn't matter.
Akash Singh
Am I lying?
Andrew Schulz
It be. Could do matter.
Akash Singh
It does matter. It does matter. You just said, you know, I haven't finished the sentence. It does matter. It matters to us and you. It doesn't matter what the Internet says. It matters what we think.
Andrew Schulz
Yay. So what do you think?
Akash Singh
Did you have an effect on my mental health? Yes. Yes, yes.
Andrew Schulz
I'm saying yes, and I love you. I watch these videos like this, man, and I think to myself, what's the.
Chris
Context for that, by the way?
Andrew Schulz
I have no idea.
Akash Singh
This is a documentary I'm pretty sure Kanye west is releasing, which is the crazy part.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, he's putting this.
Akash Singh
I'm pretty sure Kanye is releasing this documentary. Might need to double check that.
Andrew Schulz
I thought Michael Che played a role in this in Consequence. Am I making this up?
Akash Singh
Yeah, Michael Che kind of. It makes him look great. Consequence says this is not a full edit. Well, that's what Kanye put out. Che is saying, and he says it with love. He's like checking Charlotte, KANYE for on SNL's black members, like, at the end of the show, and he's like, why would you do that?
Andrew Schulz
Oh, so that's a different video. That wasn't.
Akash Singh
I think that's a different video, but that's the same documentary. I think.
Andrew Schulz
The crazy thing is I'm gonna watch.
Alex
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna watch.
Andrew Schulz
I'm gonna watch. But I watch these videos. Okay, this is the Michael Che one. Let me see this one. I don't got a chance to say anything for myself. No, I went home. I said that about Leslie coming back, and they. I'm the black comedian that made a joke about. That's all. You do that to me. Oh, man. I love you, though, bro. I was talking about. I love you too.
Eric Adams
I'm a Family. Why would you do that to me?
Andrew Schulz
I wasn't doing it.
Akash Singh
I work here.
Andrew Schulz
I work here. Like, come on, man. Like, we treat everybody that come in like family and you going to sell us out? Like that's up, man.
Akash Singh
We look up to you. We love you.
Andrew Schulz
Wow. What you got against us? I mean, I do have some things is against snl. I mean, airing it out like that without letting us be able to reply is kind of foul. Wait, you wait till the last. Wait to the last song and then say that foul to us. And we brought you in here for.
Akash Singh
Let's talk about the way.
Andrew Schulz
But.
Akash Singh
But I'm not.
Andrew Schulz
No, you're a hero to us, man. We love you. By Simon we love Martin. This is an interesting contrast though, to see him yelling at Kris Jenner. Crazy. But no, he's super humble. Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
On him like that. I don't even know what the context of this is like. I don't even know what the. Did he say that? What did he say that got Michael Che hot?
Akash Singh
I don't know. I guess he insulted the black cast members of snl. He might have said some shit about. Oh, and I guess judging by Chase context clues, he said something about the black comedians who made jokes about Cosby and Chae was. Was a black comedian make jokes about Cosby on snl.
Andrew Schulz
Kanye got very quiet. Where's Kanye been?
Akash Singh
I fallen apart, dude. He's boy working on this documentary that makes him look horrible. This is I never seen.
Alex
Hopefully he's taking the time to get his mental health.
Akash Singh
His mental health is man. I don't think he's healing, but I don't think we understand this guy's fully.
Alex
If he's quiet, that's probably a good thing.
Andrew Schulz
Maybe let's. Let's pay some bills and then do some asking idiots and get the out of here. This episode is brought to you by Jack Daniels. Jack Daniels and music are made for each other.

Let's do some asking idiots. Cause Akash got a flight to catch and I'm going to a play tonight.
Akash Singh
Oh, what play tonight?
Andrew Schulz
I'm going to see the Outsiders.
Akash Singh
Really? Are you a big Broadway guy?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. I was at Broadway last night too. I took my daughter's. My daughter's birthday was recently, so I took her to her and my other daughter to go see the play starring all your cousins.
Akash Singh
What play starring all my cousins?
Andrew Schulz
You know, a play on Broadway, stars are.
Akash Singh
I don't. Oh, Aladdin.
Andrew Schulz
Lot of. I'm gonna tell you something. Not a lot of representation. I didn't like that.
Akash Singh
I agree.
Andrew Schulz
I didn't like that.
Akash Singh
I agree.
Andrew Schulz
There was not a lot. There was a lot of white people in the last.
Alex
Yeah, you mean it was good though. Audience of the cast.
Andrew Schulz
The cast.
Akash Singh
The Genie is actually the Genie's.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, fantastic. Oh, man, that brother was so good. What was his name? He's the. I mean, he steals the show, but I mean, that's actually his job. That's what he talks about. Let me see if I can find his name.
Akash Singh
He's great. I went and saw it.
Andrew Schulz
You saw it?
Akash Singh
Yeah. You have to do that when you apply for an Indian visa. That's the test.
Andrew Schulz
His name is Michael James Scott. Yes. Michael James Scott. Man, he is fantastic. Incredible. I mean, he.
Akash Singh
Star of the show.
Andrew Schulz
Star of the show.
Akash Singh
Not even.
Andrew Schulz
Not even close. And he's actually got a line when he comes out where he actually says that. He's like, you know, I can't remember what the exact line is, but he basically lets everybody know I'm the show stealer. And he absolutely does. Like, he, he. I don't want to say carries, but he's definitely the spark car.
Akash Singh
He's the only thing I remember from that show.
Andrew Schulz
He's definitely the spark.
Akash Singh
I forgot there was white people because the black guy stole the show so much. But no, that is what y' all do.
Andrew Schulz
I thought about it after the fact. Yes. The girl that played Japanese, stealing in general. Shut up.
Alex
I was like, which way you went with that?
Akash Singh
I just want to make sure that you didn't think. I know that can be interpreted in many way.
Andrew Schulz
You see, though, you see how we make nice racist jokes towards each other.
Akash Singh
I love.
Andrew Schulz
Ok. But you know, the only time it'll fuck it up is when you people from the outside.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Tune in and be like, did you say that totally bypassing all the racist jokes I threw at that. You know what I'm saying? Because I let y' all think of the punchline. Cause y' all are the racist.
Akash Singh
I said steal the show. I didn't say anything else. Other people can interpret it however they.
Andrew Schulz
Want to, but it was an article about.
Chris
Yeah, it's from 2020, though, so I don't know if it's the same kid.
Andrew Schulz
What did it say? What was the headline?
Chris
Not enough Indian actors.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Aladdin is not white. Huh?
Alex
Oh, wow.
Akash Singh
Well, Aladdin's technically not an Indian thing, but, yeah, I'll take it. We'll take it.
Chris
Middle Eastern.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I think it's. I went to Morocco with Dove, actually, and I was like, this feels like what Aladdin was trying to, like, replicate to me.
Andrew Schulz
Damn. All right, let's do some asking. Idiots, man. Any advice or tips on being a girl dad? Especially with what's going on with the world today.
Akash Singh
This is your answer, dude. Because I. I don't have a daughter, so.
Andrew Schulz
So I underscore B. That jiggy, man. I just give you the advice that my mom gave me, which is simply love your kids, man. And I am at the point in my life where I refuse to stress about anything concerning my children because it's out of my control. And you know what made me feel like that, Chris? What? Her. Drive.
Akash Singh
Driving.
Chris
Oh, my God.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, I don't.
Akash Singh
Driving.
Chris
So one advantage of raising kids in.
Andrew Schulz
New York City, we got in a car. It's like, I'll go crazy if I don't learn to let go. And I think it's good for me because, you know, this is our senior year, so she's visiting colleges, she's going off to go to school. If I don't learn to let go now, I'm going to drive myself.
Akash Singh
Does she want to go to college in Jersey or somewhere else?
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, she definitely. She wants to be down south.
Akash Singh
How big?
Chris
In choosing the car? I'm assuming you could have gotten any car. How big was, like, safety features, like, how big did that factor into it?
Andrew Schulz
She knew exactly what she wanted.
Chris
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
Got her exactly what she wanted.
Akash Singh
Oh, you got her exactly what she wanted.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, got her exactly what she wanted. It's not mean. Yeah, it's a nice, cool car.
Akash Singh
It's not crazy expensive.
Andrew Schulz
That's nothing crazy expensive. But it's just like, you know the thoughts that can go through your mind from driving, right? Like, you think about everything from accidents to run ins with the police to guys trailer. You think about all of this shit. Like, if I don't let this shit go, this is God's way of testing me and saying, I'm giving you this little lesson in freedom to allow her to be free. You know what I'm saying? And I'm just. You know what? It's like this. It's like you're slowly easing into. Okay. Drive around. You're responsible. She's. She's not, like, out all the time, you know.
Akash Singh
Can I ask what school she's looking at? I'm curious.
Andrew Schulz
HBCUs1 1.
Akash Singh
Are you rooting for that one?
Andrew Schulz
I wouldn't mind it. I have. I have different reasons for why I want her to go to different places. A lot of it is accessibility. Like, Chris, I don't know how you fucking even sitting in here without pulling your hair. Oh.
Chris
I mean, I've been on my phone this whole episode.
Andrew Schulz
You see what I'm saying? You know what I mean? I need to be able to get there or have somebody get to her fast. So, you know, I got my picks. But she does have one HBCU on her list, which I wouldn't mind because of her upbringing in Jersey. Right. Her upbringing in Jersey hasn't been the most diverse, but you got money. Yeah, but it's not. I mean, but that's a great point, but it is a class thing. It's not like I'm lying. It has been diverse. Cause it's not just white. It's white, it's black, it's Indians, it's Asians. Like, it's a class thing. So it is a very diverse experience.
Akash Singh
You take her with you to Newark?
Andrew Schulz
No, never took her with me to Newark.
Akash Singh
That's foul, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Never took her with me.
Akash Singh
How you can get her to experience the world old.
Chris
What's your. With cars? What's your take on your kids and Ubers?
Andrew Schulz
Can't do it, bro. What?
Akash Singh
Why do it to me. That's the safest.
Chris
I feel the same way.
Andrew Schulz
I'm.
Chris
I put my kids in Ubers all the time.
Andrew Schulz
My wife is a little.
Akash Singh
Well, I'm missing it. What's going on here?
Chris
It's because I don't think there is anything.
Akash Singh
The Uber could be, like a sexual deviant or something. Yes.
Andrew Schulz
I just don't. But I'm like you.
Chris
You're tracking it. You can watch if you really want to.
Andrew Schulz
Like, that's true. But if you got a nut job. And I was thinking about this the other day. Tell me what y' all think about. About this. Our whole society Is built on trust.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like really crazy. We don't think about that, but it's like getting on a plane. You're getting on a plane.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Yeah.

You gotta trust the pilot to be in their right mind. You gotta trust the Uber driver to be in their right mind. You gotta trust the person making your food to not to be in their right mind and not poison you. Our whole shit is built on trust. And I've been doing this to like lessen my anxiety about things. When you look at the world and its whole totality like that, our batting average is pretty good.

This episode of The Brilliant Idiots centers on the intersection of politics, media, and free speech, focusing on the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel, Donald Trump’s "hit list", and the broader implications for democracy and press freedom. The hosts also tackle recent electoral politics, criticisms of Kamala Harris’ campaign, the realities of New York City under Eric Adams, hypocrisy on both the left and right, and the ongoing societal impact of social media bots. Woven throughout are the hosts’ authentic (and often hilarious) perspectives on loyalty, cultural norms, and their own personal experiences.
