• Jeff and Anthony • Episode 150

Share episode

Have you ever heard a name that made you do a double-take? Whether it's a giggle or a gasp, names carry history, identity, and sometimes, a bit of controversy. Jeff and Ant are back, marking our monumental 150th episode with a signature mix of humor and depth, as we dissect the intricate tapestry of the Knigga family's legacy against a backdrop of fantasy football madness and cultural quirks.

Step into a world where underground tunnels in Brooklyn aren't just for subways, and Hollywood's penchant for putting men in dresses stirs more than just laughter. We'll navigate the secret pathways beneath a synagogue with the same ease as questioning societal norms, and don't miss our take on Katt Williams' latest brazen interview. As the screen of entertainment continues to evolve, so does our discussion, exploring the new era of streaming playoff games and what it means for your wallet and your weekend plans.

Finally, let's talk about the elephant in the room—or should we say the list? Epstein's notorious list, that is.  Join us for an episode that's as much about the connections we share as human beings as it is about the laughs, we need to navigate this ever-twisting world. Buckle up, as we embark on this special episode of comedy, controversy, and culture.  #Kattwilliams #epsteinlist #NoahKnigga #Jews #nfl #jeffreyepstein

Speaker 1:

Noah nigger is a linebacker from out of Indiana, lawrenceburg. It ain't no Knigger, I know Knigger. Kniggers are a farming family around 1880 and 1920. It was hard for Knigger. 416 Kniggers, 52 have served in the military. Imagine a world where you have mcconkey being tackled by a knigger Right here outside. Look how he dipped their shoulder. He can't help the level of the people that he's playing around and where he was born. But I see something like he's here in coverage. Look at him break. Oh, look at that. Like he's playing at a different speed than everybody else. For the sake of Humanity in the culture and bringing the races together, we have got to get these knickers out of Indiana.

Speaker 2:

You. Yes, sir, yes sir, we're here. 2024, First episode of the year, episode 150 actually. So it's also a milestone episode. It's your boy, jeff. I'm here with my man, aunt. The culture we talking about comedy. We talking about controversy, we talking about culture. What do you want?

Speaker 3:

first, and I don't give a fuck, man. I don't care. I know it's been a week, so you might just start off with this cat shit.

Speaker 2:

Actually, before we get into that, I'm gonna give them a shout out to patreon's, our coach a crew, because one of our cultural crew members had a little beef Well, not a beef, but a little complaint. Shout out to my man D block.

Speaker 3:

What is his fucking complaint?

Speaker 2:

He said for 2024, aunt needs to get a mic that's attached to his face so we can hear him.

Speaker 3:

Look, the thing is that if you couldn't hear me, you wouldn't say anything. You can't hear me. This is what we're gonna do. All right, come in, mike. What?

Speaker 2:

we gonna do.

Speaker 3:

I'm gonna pull this mic out. We're gonna look fuck all this other shit.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

We're gonna hold it in our hands like we there we go like like an interviewer, like like like 12, 12 news, like yo, yo who got shot? Like you mean Jean Oakland brother, yeah, yo, you ain't gonna say who snitch, though, but we bought to be in the air like five minutes. Just tell us who shot. When the cameras roll out, it's just not his whole name, but a street name. We got you come on dog.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of culture crew members, would you like to take this time to formally congratulate King Kaiser the third on his fantasy football championship victory over you, fuck no cuz he went. So you being, you being a sore loser.

Speaker 3:

No, you, you explain the scenario. Then I was right. You state what happened and I will explain my okay, go ahead, get down.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

So, for the first time ever, which is no, seems to be a trending thing in this timeout. It's for the second time ever, because it happened a year before no, but last year it happened.

Speaker 2:

It was different. It was a different situation. There was a football game that was canceled because of the player got a heart attack in the middle of a game, so we decided to just keep the finals as a tie. Mm-hmm, and ya split the earnings homeboy yeah we this year. The actual game ended in the tie. It was you in the finals for the third straight time and the what's the name of the damn league.

Speaker 3:

It's your league oh fuck it league oh. My god, it's your league. I'm good, Whatever.

Speaker 2:

The grid iron League of Champions.

Speaker 3:

The grid iron League of legends and you put da to put some spice on it.

Speaker 2:

It's not the is duh, but duh continue, mm-hmm, you made it to the finals for the third consecutive year. Only player that ever do that Against grand Kaiser, king Kaiser, the third making his very first appearance in the finals.

Speaker 3:

And oh, and the sidebar if, if you, if your dudes would have functioned rightfully the first week, he probably wouldn't have made it, because you played him and Mm-hmm, you had, I think, justin Herbert. Justin bummed it up, a couple dudes bummed up me and he had a shot. All right, couldn't continue with the story, though. Go ahead though. Finish off.

Speaker 2:

The final score ends like what was it like?

Speaker 3:

100 to 100?

Speaker 2:

It's a tie great a tie the first time has ever happened to us in this league. Right and when the finals? Okay, historically, during the season at least, when the game ends in a tie, when a matchup ends in a tie, we go with. You know, we go to the bench points, correct? Yes, so in my mind I'm like, okay, it has the most bench points when and that's what everybody else thought.

Speaker 2:

All right. So, as gonna ant wins, you know, we even congratulated you and everything All right. The next day, or I might have taken ESPN like two days to adjust the shit. Like Tuesday morning the shit ends, you know, sunday or whatever it might have. Was there a Monday game? I think there was a Monday game. And then Tuesday morning ESPN shows, even though the score is tied throughout the whole time, it showed that it was just a tie. It was 50, 50% each of y'all. Yeah, it was, it was a tie. I was like, oh shit, it's gonna end in a tie. What the fuck?

Speaker 2:

Tuesday comes and ESPN has King Kaiser winning. We're like, oh, wait a minute. So now I have to look and I'm at work, you know I'm saying I'm not even paying attention to this. So now I gotta look at the rules. Like what's going on here? I'm trying to hit up ESPN, I'm trying to talk to them. What's going on here? We look at the rules and it's still kind of, we still got to talk about it. But Apparently, once you get into the playoffs, the season rules for tiebreakers do not apply. So we're no longer going with the bench points to determine a winner in the finals before you said According to the ESPN rules before you say the next thing hold on to that point.

Speaker 3:

Now Go ahead.

Speaker 2:

So apparently they go by either whoever had the best overall record in the throughout the season or who had the most overall points throughout the season, and in both cases it would have been Kaiser. So it was a lot of back and forth. I You're upset, kaiser was upset. I'm just trying to do the fair thing. I'm trying to do was right for the league. I'm trying to put it to a vote. Ultimately, we concluded like, yeah, espn has Kaiser winning. You know I'm saying next year we're gonna have to really look at these rules and, you know, vote for it. But as of right now, kaiser is the champion.

Speaker 3:

It was enough, said. He's kept going back and forth and like you know what? Fucking take it, take it out, okay, you don't win. Yeah, good for you. Everybody throws confetti.

Speaker 3:

Here's the problem. You go by the bench points because you have players that didn't play. But if they would have played if you swap the mouse I'm also that you probably had a better chance. I get that. But you're in the playoffs. Your regular season record doesn't matter because You're in the playoffs. That like no one cared. Just all the playoffs care about. Regards a record is seating. Who plays who wouldn't wear just like playoff games this weekend.

Speaker 3:

The regular season don't matter. How many points you scored in regular season don't matter. Could you got into the playoffs if he would have finished under 500 and then would have made it and then, with a tide Like it didn't like okay but, and his bench would have scored more, it would have went down to the points or his record in the regular season. But it doesn't matter, you're in the playoffs. None of it. All that shit goes out the window. You played a season to get into that.

Speaker 3:

So I don't know what are rules and say the rules, and that's why I was like you know I don't care about splitting the first and second price, I'll take second. It's fine, he could take first, he can be happy. So it's a fourth by himself, something nice. It could stay dinner, some shit. Whatever he wants to do, but in general, the rules remain the rules. But he just wanted to have it this way. So I'm like look, you won. Am I gonna thank you for it? Fucking no, do you have the championship? Yeah, are you gonna lose next year? Probably. You ain't one shit in a long time. You got you one off a technicality. It's not like you beat me fair and square, you're one off a technicality. As a matter of fact, if Jordan love had just had one less point, you lose. He just decided to go crazy cuz he was down 30 something. You just happened to come back at the very end, but the shit was over for you.

Speaker 2:

But but in his, in his defense, if they don't take Jordan, love out the game, he also gets the extra points that he needs right when decisively right he could have won and he could have lost, but he didn't.

Speaker 3:

He tied right. That's we're saying. It it's a tie.

Speaker 2:

We could just split the shit up, but so you just so you're gonna do the Trump move and not Congratulate the winner.

Speaker 3:

Shit fuck that you lost in a problem. There's a whole thing. We can do this right now. We can make a side bet, so I'm guessing that I'm gonna have to play him twice next year, like in fantasy.

Speaker 2:

Right depends of behind the same division.

Speaker 3:

Okay, let's, let's try to make that happen. Let's try to make sure we in the same division let's say we go ahead and play each other twice We'll put a hundred dollars up on each game. If he, if he, feels comfortable with that because I know he won a nice chunk of Money he could set someone at the side for next year if he wants to do that. But I mean, he's King, kaiser, he got it like that. He should be able, he's listening.

Speaker 2:

So when she responds and we'll dissect it a little bit like I, said, cuz, if I win one, he won, everybody breaks even.

Speaker 3:

But if I win both, you know, if I lose both, I'm a willing man to pay. But, like I said, he, the king, is up to him. He wants to make a choice in regards to this. He wants to go ahead and play the play games. Go ahead, we hear, for you, but it's not even an open challenge Just want to say, like you want to, this is like if you're so good, you can win the championship and add money on top of it. That's how good of a fantasy for a player I think you are. I think should accept this back. Man Cuz, I believe in you, I do, I do.

Speaker 2:

All right, well, let's get the episode started. Man, Congrats to King Kaiser the third. Let's just talk about what we started to show off with real quick okay, ready when this is a high school player out of Indiana. He plays football and he plays basketball and he plays both of them very well. He is a white boy.

Speaker 3:

He's a special Kanaiga.

Speaker 2:

His first name is Noah. Problem is his last name is Canik, and I'm not gonna say a nigga. It's spelled K and I GG a.

Speaker 3:

Canik a, can I get me? Yeah, and they say it can make it. So how has to? How have they been? How have they pronounced?

Speaker 2:

I'm not saying it. I'm not. I'm not gonna attempt to pronounce that shit. Look, his father came on and he said how you pronounced it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, what did he say? Did he say it the way you think it said?

Speaker 2:

It's K like K a pronounced cuh Nay Go can a apparently, but when you say it fast is not gonna sound like that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, cuh Nate, I don't hear a or eat a, miladette. His spelling is K and I people are gonna say it.

Speaker 2:

It's gonna be interesting to see, when he makes it to the league Whatever league he makes it to how they're gonna be pronouncing his name.

Speaker 3:

They are never gonna put his games on ESPN.

Speaker 2:

They should have been an established moment, because do you think his parents should have, just for the sake of him and their entire family, should have they have changed or abbreviated the name or shortened it and just made it K-Nig, or you know, I'm saying I Know?

Speaker 1:

no, we're the Knugs no.

Speaker 2:

I would have changed that, especially if I'm aspiring to be a famous athlete.

Speaker 3:

Why you change it your family name for what it is.

Speaker 2:

That doesn't make any sense to me just just to avoid Conflict scrutiny, embarrassment and the like it's not conflict, scrutiny or embarrassment is actually just kind of fucking hilarious.

Speaker 3:

It is okay, I'll tell you why it's Harris. I'll tell you why it's hilarious. This whole situation with him is literally a Dave's Chappelle sketch. Remember he had the nigger family and IGG AR. Same thing, same shit. So you get the jokes out of it and that's what it is.

Speaker 3:

But you don't change your name to kind of say something that's not offensive. Like there was a kid I remember growing up and his name Fuck, was it Larry Lawrence? Larry, his name was Larry kike. Kike kik name was like oh god, now that name with the spelling and everything correct. Now the name I'm saying could be a little bit offensive, but it's his family's name, didn't get to the origins. I didn't ask about it, just it was what it was. I Wouldn't ask him to change. You shouldn't change anything.

Speaker 3:

For anyone to make someone feel comfortable is regarding your own heritage. It's one of those things when people talk about. You should talk a certain way, speak a certain way, act a certain way, because you don't want it to be something that didn't great your culture. If you have long, luxurious, currently full hair because of your Hispanic heritage or ethnicity, you shouldn't have to straighten it out for nobody. If you happen to have, you know, broad features, who lips and nose and nose, that you shouldn't make them smaller to make people comfortable.

Speaker 3:

If that man, to a degree, seems like it has a slightly unfortunate name, it's his family name, they, if they say in Connecticut, they say, can you get to each other all the time like I'm welcome to the, the Connecticut Union, which is hilarious to say when you think about it out loud, but that's how it is. But I mean if, if you, if he's gonna be a football player or basketball player, for sakes, maybe you just have a nickname like special K or something like that, I don't know. Like, yeah, basket, score by special K, tackle by special K, it's easier. Or just do the first initial Is it's not that it's just seen. That on the back of a jersey is just distracting, it is.

Speaker 2:

Like Kate Nick, I'm curious to see how many of these white, how many white folks are gonna say that name Like often, just to be able to say the word he can't play with brothers because we don't fuck that name up.

Speaker 3:

We won't climb his ass all day Like, oh you think you're nice, my boy? Oh, all right, kate nigger.

Speaker 2:

Do you think the networks are gonna purposely tell the white commentators to Minute, you know, to limit the amount of times they say his name?

Speaker 3:

No, but that's that's even saying it. If he's gonna even be that nice, because it's a lot of like, especially like football. It's a lot of like. Hundreds upon hundreds of talented football players every year. You know four and five star ones, yeah, but he might be like a two, three star recruits. You might make it like that, like it is in. The only thing that makes that man Interesting is his name. Outside of that, what do you even be remotely entertaining? It's just that name. So if this might become a story later on down the line, but Right now it's just amusement now, if you'd like. You know, no knicka to the next.

Speaker 2:

I already see the headlines. You already know the next select.

Speaker 3:

This nigga. Oh no, couldn't get my bad, my bad, my bad, getting connected. You know how it go. We can't help but to not find hilarious. This needs kind of things and it's funny it is. You can't help it. But I mean, what power to man. That's your name. Keep with it.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of Jews and speaking of funny. Ain't your name Jeff Rose? It's a lot.

Speaker 3:

Rosa. What is road, was Rosa mean? Well, what does they allow me? So, of the Of the rose look at that. Nobody clowning your name, jeff of the rose. I might say that shit.

Speaker 2:

That's just a romantic poetic name, bro.

Speaker 3:

Sounds of shit, pimp, sex shit.

Speaker 2:

There's no controversy behind the road, concrete that came from the rose that grew from concrete, that's just that ain't racist, that's not race.

Speaker 3:

That's just sounds to name some pimp.

Speaker 2:

Have what you named Jeff of the rose like really yeah bitch Yo what you know about these Jews coming out the sewers, bro, in New York City, are they Ninja Turtles? The memes is already guiding them coming out the sewers looking like Ninja Turtles a teenage mutant ninjas Jews is what they call in them. But why would he build a tunnel in the first place? The headline reads Secret tunnel, an NYC synagogue leads to brawl between police and worshipers. A group of Hasidic Jewish worshipers were arrested amid a dispute Over a secret tunnel built beneath the historic Brooklyn synagogue. Of course it was Brooklyn Setting off a brawl between police and those who tried to defend the makeshift passageway. And I saw some video they got. They got like Police. Was that she called police cam? What's the shit that they have on body cam? Yeah, they got body cam footage and they got people recording. You see motherfuckers crawling out the floors and coming out the fucking woodworks and out the walls and shit.

Speaker 3:

It's funny shit, but I'm trying to figure out. Why were they doing that in the first place? Oh no, like this one, like an escape route or something, sit like I don't.

Speaker 2:

I guess they're probably waiting for the apocalypse or something.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but it wasn't far as next door. Like the pockets coming on, blow up all of this shit, not just this, right here.

Speaker 2:

And like I don't even think they still know why they just did. I mean, the passageway has is believed to have started in the basement of an empty apartment building behind the headquarters, snaking under a series of offices and lecture halls before eventually connecting to the synagogue. Like I wonder how long it took them to make this shit a very very long time.

Speaker 3:

I Mean the problem is with New York's fucking building code. They ain't coming to check, like yeah, oh no, they said.

Speaker 2:

They said the tunnel project began late last year as a way to connect the synagogue with the whole empty space behind it.

Speaker 3:

Okay, so they built a fucking tunnel when it could just built like a door, like when it yeah, I don't know a door with a suffice like. That's like if you, if you want to go to your garage instead like walking there, you build a bridge, you don't have to do that. Just go to fuck out your back door and walk to the garage. You don't have to Do this other shit. That makes no sense to me. So when they go ahead and do that, I'm like why y'all building the tunnel? Like I'm guessing they own it? Okay, cuz I'm guessing that they own the building, the other building we all could just build some connecting it to it. We all decided to dig out. Oh, that would have costed money though.

Speaker 3:

Well, fucking and I'm not saying Jews are cheap, but alright, that's what it sounded like, what I'm just saying, hey man.

Speaker 2:

I ain't saying a man, it is a stereotype. I ain't say it though.

Speaker 3:

You know you don't think them digging up a fucking hole and paying the fines fees and not gonna be expensive. You own the other. Do you have to own other shit? I don't know the build up and we go ahead and dig some shit like that and I feel real, real fucked up around Jews trying to bite back like no, the underground railroad from the brothers. We came up with that. We know how to shit go baby.

Speaker 3:

Y'all could. Y'all could have called us because you're how to break all this shit down. Because it got it Harriet Tubman manual, like look at him and historically you gotta have a shit going north, because that's how we got the fuck up out of here. Y'all got some other shit going on here, so I know how to do that, but it's going to dig himself a hole, not a cops is mad. I didn't go fill a bitch up with concrete with a program. Have them pay for they're gonna find the fuck out of them.

Speaker 3:

And I and I had to build a fucking door and it doesn't like like you basically gonna be fine, like thousands of dollars or a pure laziness.

Speaker 2:

They wanted to move discreetly out here to 2024, starting off with wild. Ain't want to be seen in the streets to go study.

Speaker 3:

I don't. I never snuck in the study hall. I walked in the fucking library. I walk in the front door like I Didn't want to take a secret passage to library. You needed me to see to go in there, grab my books, like you're going there, you know, to study your religion. So you really need like a passage for this shit. That shit is it me. I saw people just do shit for the stupidest reason, like I just want to know whose idea. It was. Like some rabbi, but it had. It couldn't been one rogue rabbi. It had to be like a cabal, like a set of them, and like you know what. We got an idea. I'm 78 years old. I'm tired of walking around the corner to get to the front door. How about?

Speaker 2:

I wonder what that conversation was like exactly. Hey guy, hey, I have an idea. You remember that underground railroad that thing we, you know.

Speaker 3:

No, the color, the color you remember that, harriet. Tubman story the color lady with the people, the north, yeah, the freedom, the North star. Now what if we did that our way, right here in Brooklyn and somebody like yes, yes, yes, no, my think, how did you?

Speaker 3:

okay. So basically you had to work at night to get all that concrete and dirt out of there. You had to. You could have did it during the day, because someone gonna notice somebody with a fucking wheelbarrow full of dirt and concrete From a hole that you've been digging for months. My whole thing is that where the fuck we're gonna and like, and how did you get the guidance like did did they have like an engineer or Some shit like that? Cuz I be having trouble like like cutting my own grass street, so I don't know how to dug a tunnel like perfectly and move around offices and shit like that. That is amazing to me. I don't know if this even possible. No, this floor concrete. I can't dig this shit. I don't know why I want to dig a hole there, but I don't know this.

Speaker 3:

That's a wild fucking story and like it's one of stories. It's like pointless. Like why would you do this in the first place? But you already did it like yes, you gotta kind of see how to follow. Going be, I don't know, man, kids, you can dig like like like puddles and stuff and build snowmen. Unless you have an engineering degree. Don't try to build like a tunnel from like your room, to like the living room or the bathroom. I know it might seem like efficient and cute, cuz you don't want to walk around. Anything but lengthwise is kind of like. The same distance, as a matter of fact, is longer because you got to go down and across. You can make it just go, like you know, across but make your life easier. But it's fine though. More power to him, but I manless.

Speaker 2:

Let's keep it moving with this 2024 shenanigans. One of the biggest stories right now on the internet is the cat Williams. Sit down with a Shannon sharp. He's blasting everybody right. He's going at cat Williams, which he's historically he's done. He goes at Cedric the entertainer. He goes at Harvey what's his name? Steve Harvey, among others, and I personally think that he might have ended a Cedric the entertainer's career by pointing out the fact that he has, in his career for like the last 30 years, he's been stealing people's jokes.

Speaker 2:

And now we have the luxury of the internet and people have been putting it out there. They, you know, they're showcasing the jokes that he's stolen from other people, including Cat Williams himself, a joke that he almost did verbatim. You know I'm saying Like people's jokes that he's done, that they have done on TV or on TV shows, on stand-up shows that have been televised, and he's done them on his own Kings of Comedy or his own shows, mmm. But Cat Williams is hilarious. He's controversial as hell. He talks about this Illuminati shit which everybody does, how he ain't wearing no dress. He can't be bought. I'm tired of that dress shit though. He said Epstein, didn't he say Epstein offered a perform for Layshow on him an Executive.

Speaker 3:

I don't know if it was Epstein. Yeah no, that's weird. Like I want you to be, I want you to be in this movie and I'll suck your dick. Like it's a like it's a cherry on top. Usually it's the other way around. Like to get a favor, you got to do a favor. Like not only am I getting this move rule, I'm gonna blow you like this. It seems weird.

Speaker 2:

Like. But do you not think shit like that goes on in Hollywood.

Speaker 3:

Probably do I care now Because, like, all right, so like we're going back to the dressing real quick. He's. He's saying that for for black men to be successful in Hollywood, they have to wear a dress to be accepted by the white community. So and so, but I guess, and it's not say white people, that's dismissive, let's just say by the Hollywood elites. Let's coat it that way.

Speaker 2:

Eddie Murray he's one of the only ones that I have. Him and Chappelle, I think, are the only two that I can think of that haven't worn a dress one in any movie or any one successful one, but financially one successful one isn't. I mean I wouldn't go that far. I think I would have some money. He doesn't have Kevin Hart money.

Speaker 3:

Do you think Kevin Hart got Kevin Hart money because Kevin Hart decided to wear a dress? No, you know why Kevin Hart got Kevin Hart money.

Speaker 3:

Because he's the hardest working comedian right now, and holly that and also like the, the role for a loud little obnoxious Black man. Wallow one's cat turned down. He took Like could he have been next to the rock in that CIA movie, shit. Yeah, there's a lot of roles that Kevin did that cat probably could have did, probably made a funnier, but he took those roles cuz cat didn't, didn't want to do it, and I guess you can, you know, say it's great for the sense of integrity and and, oh God, it's gonna lead to a digression to meet cats funnier than Kevin Hart, like cats funnier than there, all the people that he was going up against, that he was talking shit about.

Speaker 3:

To me, cat Williams is funny because cats, a comedian's comedian like cat is at his best as a stage comedian, like as a comedian standing up in front of people is where he shines brightest, because he's very he's extremely good at that. He's not. He's actually a pretty good actor from the rules that he's done. Yeah, I Don't know. Like I was thinking about this at work. Like the dress thing bothers me because I'm like, if you're saying that, then are you saying that the entire Wayne's family has sold this old to Hollywood?

Speaker 3:

Yes, that's what he's saying and they've all won a dress.

Speaker 2:

All one address every last one of them. So that's all it takes. Martin on war address multiple times.

Speaker 3:

If you could be the co-CEO of your company, just had to wear a dress one time would you to Meet the CEO of my come up new to be the co-CEO of your company auto, and I have to wear a dress anytime I what's the purpose of me wearing no dress, though?

Speaker 2:

Oh, we're doing a play or something in front of the company.

Speaker 3:

It's a. It's a a bonding thing. It's a it's you know what? It is the company that that Abonding hold on. It's a company function and they have it like a little skit thing. So they want people to be whatever silly you answer for just like put on a dress, you impressed the guy like that took balls and that took moxie. I think I'm gonna groom you to be my right-hand man as Nonsense of CEO, not no other shit, yeah.

Speaker 3:

I know the word I know you're, I'm going to develop you into being an Essential part of this company by teaching you everything that goes along with it, by being, and hopefully becoming, my second in command. Let's put it that way. Since you don't want to put grooming, since everyone's so fucking weird of dogs get groomed Okay, stop with the fucking word. But if that's situation, and it says all of this and it could lead to you being literally the, the chair below the chair, do you do it?

Speaker 2:

After furthering discussing it with my family, and after convincing myself that I'm not selling my soul by doing this, I'm probably doing it, ain't no problem me.

Speaker 3:

Fuck that, no problem, you fuck out of here. We got the goddamn cabal, you know, fucking the luminati nigga. This is a check. You get all man. You wore a dress, but your families in poverty. Minds isn't for one simple decision. Now, if it required, you wearing a dress, not doing no other shit, me, some soul selling motherfuckers not selling your soul.

Speaker 3:

It's doing one thing for the sacrifice of the others, because if it was just you you probably wouldn't think about it. But like I can do this and I can really make some real changes in the world. Real changes with my family make a Some a difference, a real functional difference, and I don't have to do anything sexual or promiscuous or dangerous or whatever. I just had to go and be silly for about four minutes in wear a dress, say a couple words and call it a day.

Speaker 3:

So you're saying there are some legs to this, though that they do make black men wear dresses and rolls, for whatever reason literally his most famous movie, which made him the most money and it's amazing and as talented as a comedian that he might be. Robin Williams wore dressing Mrs Doubtfire.

Speaker 2:

Yes, all the whites do it too. Yeah, john Travolta done, did it of a Patrick Swayzee. They all do that shit.

Speaker 3:

Okay, john Leguizamo did John Leguizamo. Westie Snipes, yep. Patrick Swayzee yeah, but I'm like Will Smith will Smith did it Chris Tucker. But I think they're trying to think that it's an idea of like you're associating Martin did. But I think they're trying to say, like, as a black Chris rock, you shouldn't wear a dress because of, like, the whole masculinity thing, like I don't think it dressed has anything to do with masculinity, it's.

Speaker 2:

It's because of the funny thing Jamie Foxx wore when he did his character when he did wonder, yeah, wanda, that's the whole thing.

Speaker 3:

Like you trying to make this an illuminati thing, I'm like it's just one of those things. I, it's just one of them things that about people that people find funny. Let's say, chris Rock did, chris Frawley did, adam Sandler did they do these things. But, like I said, but it's only when it comes to black. I'm like if you're doing this, that means you're so, just so. Ain't none said a soul shit about what I'm doing. Like funny Tends to mean sometimes you have to take these extremely calculated risk and it's something funny about seeing a man in a dress, because seeing a woman dressed in a suit isn't as funny as seeing a man in a dress. I don't know why. It's just something about our brains. It just makes it hilarious, especially when the person's funny. But to make a big deal out about that, like so you're trying to say like I, I have my integrity and I, and that's the whole thing. You can't say you know, they sold the soul to the devil and it made themselves really successful Because it wore a dress. When you, in the same interview, say you know, you're the one of the richest men alive and I didn't wear a dress. So you're trying to say integrity wins out, but, like you know, you're not showing me the bank. But, brother, I get what you're saying, but I Need to see receipts if you're gonna say things like that. If you're gonna talk that money shit, I need to see said money. I need to see your houses, your cars or whatever these signs of wealth. Now you might be rich in love and not rich in Finance than shit mean you even. But if you can talk about the people that's been successful before you, especially a guy like Kevin Hart we had the chance to have his career, just chosen to do it. He said I'm not wearing a fucking dress. I mean, he wore the shit once. He did a lot of things that he didn't have to wear a goddamn dress. So and I think about that you said about a Such an entertainer like I, mean, what kind of career do you really have, popping like that? If we've been really honest, like right now, the only King has said you're going to dress now.

Speaker 3:

I don't think so. He's dressed. He's dressed up an old man, eddie, in barbershop. They were weird dress. I don't think so. You make a really ugly woman. But the only one of them that's been successful. Me got arrested. So Bernie Mac but it really been Steve Harvard, but he ain't really been doing comedy shit. He's been getting this family few money and shit. I would too, yeah, slider money in them game shows. Well, I mean, you watch the whole interview, right? Yeah, what did you?

Speaker 2:

take from it that shit was hilarious. It was just cat being cat. You know the promise. He had Shannon sharp on the edge of his sea like yo chill man. I got to interview some of these people bro.

Speaker 3:

The thing that I wonder is like where does all right Cuz? This is like. My theory is that the reason why it went so viral so fast? Because it was January. Nothing's popping in January, nothing's going on. I Wanted people still feel the same way about him in June, like, are you're still gonna be raising the banner like we got it? Protect cat Williams at all costs. Yo shut, oh, please, shut the fuck up with that. Always trying to protect other people at all costs. Protect this for protect yourself, protect your family. Fuck them celebrities. Oh my god cat, we're down here to we got to protect, but you know how they do. Don't worry about him if they want to have some shit to happen to cat cuz they're telling truth. They'd had to chat like a long time ago. You need to worry about you. You need to make sure to protect yourself, to protect your family. Not honest? These Celebrities, shit, don't even give a fuck about you or never thought about you, just want you to buy tickets today, shit.

Speaker 3:

So all you got to worry about, and the thing with cat is that it's. It was entertaining, it was enlightening. It was different to see him be so comfortably well spoken about these things and say things fearlessly. But I'm like it's January, we gonna see how that shit lasts. And when it get cold and we talk about the snow, what does summertime act like? Where you want to go, I Don't know. But the truth of the matter is it's an entertaining story right now, but Give it to weeks. We were talking about some new shit shit soup bowl. In a couple weeks we about be talking about us. Yeah, we're gonna go a fuck about cat. That's just the way these new cycles go. Sorry to tell you that, dog, but is what it is.

Speaker 2:

Begin of the Super Bowl. For the first time in history, a Football, a playoff game, an NFL playoff game is not gonna be free, because this week Peacock is gonna be showing one of the games they paid the NFL. They paid the NFL six million dollars, that's three million dollars per team To air one game. And people are an outrage. They're like shit. We got to download this fucking app. Now we got to pay a subscription. I mean you can download it, get the free trial and then cancel, I guess. But this is the future of now television. Before you know it, all these games are gonna be on Netflix, hulu, peacock, amazon, apple TV. You know what I mean? And people are gonna have to pay for these shits. Do you have a?

Speaker 3:

40 pound television. No, okay, you don't have a 40 pound television, gotcha, these shits are lightweight now. But you got a smart TV. Yeah right, smart TV a little bit, all apps and everything else like that yeah, that's really the only way you can really watch it. We just plug your TV by itself. You couldn't get a fucking reception. It's not like it was before. When you do it, have like a little antenna, get some reception, shit like that. We don't live in that time no more, and I understand y'all have gotten so comfortable watching this shit on Regular TV and calling it a day. I get it and I. You know you should be mad, especially since you had the whole regular season on. You know your local station down. Playoff time comes and if I'll put any foot down like you don't watch what the fuck you tell you to watch. Okay, but it's. It's one fucking game, one fucking week.

Speaker 2:

It's not the point though, bro. The countries and shambles right now. A lot of people can't afford this shit, man. They can't afford all these subscriptions. Hold up, hold up I'm people can't even afford cable, no more.

Speaker 3:

If you bugging out about a football game right, and you can't afford the 599 feet, you got bigger problems than that, my fuck.

Speaker 2:

I'm sure it's more than that. I think it's more than that.

Speaker 3:

Oh, go ahead, keep talking about it.

Speaker 2:

I think peacock is like ten. Now I got peacock. I Don't even know I got all them shit. I got Netflix. I don't even know how much these shits are, bro, I just have them. I'm just get taken out of my bank account. I don't even notice that shit.

Speaker 3:

Look at that, the first thing when I Google. I was at a time where peacock the word follow afterward free trial. Everybody like, look, I'm I gonna peacock, let's see.

Speaker 2:

So they got they different little tier levels peacock, peacock premium, but peacock will pay for this shit, even if because you know this is gonna be full of advertisements and commercials this shit. Peacock premium so even if people, even if people subscribe and then cancel, they still gonna make all the advertisement money, peacock premium 599.

Speaker 3:

Peacock premium. What's the basic peacock Pp. Peacock premium plus is peacock premium without any ads premium. Okay, this has ass. It's six dollars. If you beefing about six dollars you shouldn't worry about. You know a football game she were. By getting your whole fucking life together, I Think I got at least 25 hours in my pocket and understand that shit with pride. But if I really want to watch this game, I can.

Speaker 2:

And I'm not talking about young people, bro. I'm talking about the older people, 60, 70, 80 year olds. You know, they have historically their whole lives been watching this shit for free on channel 5, channel NBC, abc, whatever the fuck.

Speaker 3:

Here's the problem you know retired.

Speaker 2:

They're trying to just make ends meet with their little retirement money and just live chilling comfortably. They're not trying to subscribe to no fucking streaming services.

Speaker 3:

NFL and them. Don't give a fuck about them, because the only thing that matters so many people don't even know how to operate these shit.

Speaker 3:

To be honest with you and the NFL does not care. You know why? Because that's not they target audience and they're not what who marketers are advertising towards. You don't see commercials for people that are 60 70 years old. We know y'all watch the game but y'all don't buy shit. That's the whole reason we have commercials for people to buy shit. So the people that's the younger crowd that they want to capture they have all these streaming shits and we want to watch it. They're going to watch it and they can be hit with advertisement things that they tell them that they should buy and they should have. And that's going to go on those 60 70 years old. Here's the difference. You're 20 and 30 year olds that are complaining about it are sending an email to NBC. Hmm, you're 16 70 year olds that are complaining about it. Are writing a letter and getting a stamp and mailing it to NBC in New York Actually spending money. They're asking a son could Google a phone number for NBC. I want to call them no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's why they're not the target audience. They don't care.

Speaker 3:

Y'all can get bent out of shape about it, but guess what bars will pay that six dollars immediately for that, even if it's just for one game, as a matter of fact, they'll pay the one with no commercials. That's $12. You know why? Could you? When you go to bar, a beer is $8. One person damn near covers it. It's not hurting nobody. That's facts, capitalism at its finest, people bitching about. It's not hurting none of y'all, not hurting a single soul, because you're gonna find somewhere to watch it and you're not gonna watch it in peace. What it means? That you're not gonna watch it free. You're gonna pay something, you're gonna buy food or you can buy yourself a drink, something else like that.

Speaker 2:

You bring up a good point, cuz I know people like that that won't order like a fight or whatever UFC fight coming on is just 50, 60, 70, 80, even to $100, I've seen them. But they'll go like you said, they'll go to the bar to watch it and you're gonna spend that on food and beer and shit. You're gonna spend it on something One way and they'll spend $100 on beer and food, correct, and sit there at the bar for a few hours and watch the shit.

Speaker 3:

So I said, this complaint is pointless. Like I said, you're gonna complain about it. But if they do this, what's they're gonna do nonetheless? And they get massive numbers, it's only gonna wanna make them do it more. If you all really don't want them to do this, don't watch the fucking game. No, not a soul. Don't sign up for it, don't do anything. Don't watch the game, Don't do it. But you can't help yourself because you need some shit to do. So what you're gonna do it's like I'm gonna do the free trial, I'm gonna pay for it, whatever. Fine, here's my money to watch the game. And they're gonna see all of those numbers spike up.

Speaker 3:

When it went from three million people watching the football game on the channel to 10 million people watching the football game on the channel, then they're gonna put all of them on there because they know that you will do anything to watch that game, so you will pay for it. Go that route. So to sit here and complain about it, you have two options Either watch the game and pay for it or don't shut the fuck up. One way or another is gonna happen, because next week they're not doing it, they're just doing it this week. Then it says it's gonna be all playoffs, it said this week, and tomorrow is Sunday. The NFC games are gonna be on your regularly local schedule program. You can wait to watch those. If you're making a big ass deal about this, don't watch. But if you pay, you know it's gonna come.

Speaker 2:

Yo, and finally, real quick, let's touch on this little Epstein list. Now, the list has not actually come out like the client list or the flight logs, right, but what they did do is release a bunch of names that were mentioned in subpoenas and dispositions. You know what I mean. And witnesses mentioned certain people, and there was all types of government officials, celebrities, actors, actresses, even politicians. I saw David Copperfield's name on that shit, bro. I grew up watching David Copperfield disappear in shit. His name was on there. They say he was there having dinner with somebody at Epstein's house.

Speaker 2:

I was like, ah, now disclaimer, the names that have been released so far that were mentioned in these papers. They haven't been accused of any wrongdoing yet. So we got a prefix by saying that Doesn't mean they are guilty, but that means they were there, they were seen, they have some type of association with Epstein and it's just not a good look. I wouldn't want my name being associated with this shit at all. Donald Trump's name of course, everybody expected his name. He was mentioned. Michael Jackson was mentioned in a deposition. A deposition say he was there even though no wrongdoing was supposedly. Robert F Kennedy Jr was mentioned. Bunch of names, actors, actresses. This is gonna tarnish a lot of people's legacies. We already saw Jimmy Kimmel while out on fucking Aaron Rodgers because Aaron Rodgers insinuated that Jimmy Kimmel doesn't want this list to come out. But that's see, jimmy Kimmel came on his show and started ripping into him. That's some white people shit.

Speaker 3:

I'm dead ass here, because if you said some shit about me, you got a. Aaron, where are you now? I'm in California. Stay right there, be right with you. My next thing's smoking. I'm gonna slap shit out of you.

Speaker 3:

Kid, you can't throw my name in those shit. Like that, the fuck is wrong with you. Like you're trying to say like oh, it's just us joking around. Like yo don't joke with my fucking freedom. Like that man, that don't. It doesn't make sense for someone to be like hey, man, you should be working your name on that list. My name ain't on that list, dog, don't do that, don't?

Speaker 3:

I think we're almost doing the same shit with this controversy sounding like I'm surrounded and diddy and everything else. Like that. A whole bunch of people was there. Now, years later, people wanna say something and I'm saying for me the victim should have take all the time in the world to state whatever happened to them, whatever it happened. But if you know, you ain't had no parts and nothing to do with this and you throw my name on there, I'm fucking you up Like I'm not. There's no hesitation, I'm not because you're messing with someone's reputation and even though we talking about money and everything else before. The only thing more important in money is reputation. You can't change that shit. If people think and know of you and have been around you, and when you're not in their presence, they still speak of you as a good person, that's what reputation is that your name and your word carry on beyond, when you're not even in their presence.

Speaker 3:

To put me involved in someone who's a known sex trafficker, who's involved in underage girls, I think I'm going to be in some kind of list. It's ridiculous. Like what, if? Like, if you're going to make the joke, why don't you make the joke about yourself? Why don't you be like well, I hope my name no pop up on there. Why don't you do that? Like? Why don't you do Jimmy? Then? Like, because Jimmy made it clear I got nothing to do with this shit you still kept wondering about. But you're saying this joke to make the joke about yourself. Maybe, like they ain't going to find my little name on there. I erased it or something stupid like that. But a kid about you know someone's reputation like that, that shit ain't funny. And it's a whole last list and a whole last problem that got nothing to do with me. You want that list. Yeah, exactly, I don't know that, nigga neither.

Speaker 2:

I ain't part of the world's elites yet.

Speaker 3:

You might be the only Jeffrey I know. I gotta think about that shit. You just might be. I got my look at my friends list. I know you're like man, check my phone. You, my fucking Jeffsy. You might be the only nigga I know.

Speaker 2:

You probably got some Jeffs in there. Hold up, bro, some old coworkers or some shit. Ain't no Jeffery Epstein's though.

Speaker 3:
