Ice Cube | Club Random with Bill Maher

love random so you are the first uh guest to be a half hour early is that right well you want Asians people's time you know [Laughter] half hour early I love it and of course I was ready because I'm always ready well my pop said if you can't be on time be early right and I think he got it from a wise man have you ever heard of Lombardi time no never heard that term Vince Lombardi no you don't follow football I mean I never heard of that term I know Vince Lombardi oh yeah it's the trophy that they give away but Lombardi time when he was a coach meant 15 minutes early oh yeah that's that [ __ ] uh I think I heard uh was it Mike Shanahan find somebody for being on time right you're supposed to be five minutes early yeah on time is late right well it's a it's a great quality to have I always think when people are late that I know they don't mean it but it is a a passive aggressive way meaning or not that you're saying my time is more valuable than yours yeah you know and it's especially if it's not in you know I mean LA traffic is crazy but but we know that that's what they always say traffic like oh wow what a new adventure Los Angeles traffic I had never anticipate of course traffic is bad you factor that in yeah and we have it on our phones now how bad the traffic is going to be yeah exactly I think that I think that causes people to be late too because they like look oh damn I got I was only going to take me 32 minutes to get there I got time and then they look back at it and now it's 45 minutes and they say damn what happened you know some people just uh can't leave the house without um like trying on three different outfits and when I say some people I mean women yeah um yeah so you know they want to make sure they look good for each other well I want to make sure they get clowned by each other and [ __ ] that's part of it yeah but it's also for us come on they I'll tell you a story you'll find this amusing like I used to did this actually in my act with I said bit but it is a true story about 15 years ago I had a horrible horrible night because I ate uh a pot brownie and did this stuff called ephedra what is that it was legal at the time they pulled it off the shelf it was a natural nut from Brazil but it was basically speed damn yeah it was uh it was what they take today energy drinks are probably almost but this was like supercharged okay so I thought oh I'll take the uh ephedra for energy and I'll take the pot brownie for creativity I'll get so much work done of course I was like out of my mind I didn't know what reality was yeah I I think I was sitting there for a very long time unable to move my heart was racing I finally called somebody I literally did not know when I put the phone down if I had done that or just thought I did that so like so like 20 people showed up in my living room an hour late I must have been calling it damn and this one girl was the last one there a girl I was kind of seeing at the time God love her she was like I was coming down there were other people there but there was like an hour and 20 minutes after and I'm like hey what and she I know and she was all made up even though I said I'm dying it's an emergency you have to come over here she has she got the she got made up she she wanted to make sure she looked good better dead and you look good than early and and you come out of it yeah and you saved my life yeah so she had to make sure she looked good hey you know uh I guess everybody got their corks you know everybody got their corks well of course but I mean you're you've been married a long time yeah okay so you probably you got used to one person's quirks yeah and she got used to yours without a doubt right and I got I got a few but you uh have lived a admirably scandal free life I feel for someone as much in the public eye As You Are yeah and you know I'm a good dude you know what I mean at the end of the day I'm a good dude you know yeah I'm not saying you're not I'm just saying it's kind of rare you know I didn't get into this business to get in trouble I got into this business to be creative to do cool [ __ ] with cool people and so I keep it all in perspective I know is it's a thousand things I can get into this destructive but it's a thousand things I can get into that's constructive so right you know I just choose to spend my time I'm just saying cool [ __ ] not everybody in show business has their head on straight like that in fact I would say would you not agree that the rule more is that they don't there's something about people in Show Business what draws people to show business or the type of people who succeed as my friend Jimmy always says and it's the greatest quote he said Insanity photographs yeah yeah it does people love to there's some a lot of the people who are become the biggest stars or get the incredible followings there is a kind of insanity in them they're they're very often in their own world especially musicians you know I have no idea I don't ask them who the vice president is yeah uh you know they get to they get used to people handling them right and they they get lazier and everything comes easier and you know pretty soon there just kind of being Ragdoll around um well and some of them you know are leading the charge uh you know it it's uh it was a a saying by uh Robin this is Robin Harris you know if I sit in first class I want everything I'm supposed to get you know so it's like some people I'm a rock star God damn it I'ma live the rock star Live Well I'm a rap star I'm a little like and the problem is that the whole world is essentially your enabler I mean it's one thing if you have a more normal life and you have an enabler you can go to that one person and say look you're not helping this guy at all by doing these things that are enabling him and his addictions yeah include addictions including to pigging out on Fame and money and yeah and the privilege that is afforded to people who everyone else uh idolizes but you can't you can say to one person you can't say it to a fan base you can't say to all these people hey you're not doing this guy any favors by remaining his they're going to be his fans nowadays fans are like stands right yeah they're beyond fans yeah they get literally violent sometimes if you me could you imagine going against the beehive right no right come on now you want to get stronger a thousand times a day you know so uh yeah you know people you know they they uh you can create your own Little Kingdom you know in your own little head and they did a little you know you know you know so it it happens and but you have to work for not to happen you know you have to be conscious that's this that's yeah that's the line and I'll have to work for it not to happen yes you know I looked in the mirror when I was a teenager still you know I had one or two cool songs that was starting to bubble and I looked in the mirror and I said I I don't I still want to be myself you know I don't don't lose that guy you looking at in that mirror and every so often I make sure I take that long look and make sure that I still recognize the guy that's looking back well that guy publicly if I had to associate him with one a physical attribute it would be scowling yeah it comes natural like that's just how my face looks um no but you're often uh you're funny in your movies especially when you're impatiently frustrated with people around you who are doing stupid [ __ ] that's a great character without a doubt because I think that's how you are a lot of us I mean that's how a lot of us feel you know it's like we're we're we're right we're frustrated at the stupidity that we find ourselves in yes uh and and and that the the clear Road sometimes seems so clear but it seems like nobody wants to take it you know like nobody wants to take that clear path they kind of wanna you know they want it funky they wanna they wanna they wanna kinda Thrive off and feed off their emotions and and let that you mean bad emotions well any emotion like you know some guys well you know like to be pissed off and yell and yes you know on 10 because they feel something you know if they're not on ten they feel unheard inadequate and you know it's not a space where they can actually be heard so you know they like to turn it up and did you watch did you watch succession no never saw that one you heard about it no come on no the HBO shows succession I I mean I know about it I mean nobody comes and say man you know since you session was great last night you'd love it no but nobody does no no no I wonder why that is I don't know maybe they don't think I'm into stuff like that you would love this [ __ ] show you're a mogul it's about a mogul I bring it up because I proposed to your point that the it's a it's a Ramona clay really of the Murdoch family Fox News yeah so he's it's it's he's old like Rupert Murdoch yeah he's got kids and succession it's like who's gonna succeed him because the old man is going to go yeah he's gonna go somewhere soon so in the thing he almost dies in the beginning he dies at the end it's about the succession and the kids fighting each other you would [ __ ] love it yeah I definitely gotta binge watch that but the point is that this patriarch this uh Mogul wrote Logan Roy he's you know a billionaire they shoot it at the greatest locations we see his yacht his castle blah blah blah his country home he's got everything you could ever want and he's just endlessly pissed off and he's just always are we gonna Circle for another hour up here you know he's mad at his private plane can't land because there's other planes land you know and you can be that person to where you you get 99 of what you could ever dream of and you obsess on the one percent you don't have yeah and you don't want to be that guy not at all right come on like you don't wanna be rich and die trying you know what I mean like what the hell it's like dude knowing you um are full like know when to push the plate away right yeah I'm saying like no one to cruise you could put that in a song yeah know when to push the plate away no one to push the plate that's a good title or a good line right no one to cruise man you know like nobody would ever ride a bike if you had to Pedal the whole time you know we were always you were always a clever uh lyricist thank you you know uh that song I always loved that song you did about it's a good day it was a good day today was a good because it was a very interesting way unique to like here's a here's the way I can comment on the bad things which I really want to comment on by saying this is what didn't happen today yeah yeah see that's new I mean you know it's it's uh to me is what Friday is all about like if the movie Friday is a drama you are it's boys in the hood you know what I mean without a doubt sure but taking those situations in trying to laugh at ourselves and hopefully we see ourselves clearer well that's a Fizz is to me you know why the movie hits I also love the Wayans yeah movie of which is it the one with the long title don't be a minister in South Central While Drinking here is the mailman and he keeps going message message yeah it's like it's one of the funniest weighing movies ever well also but it's it's somewhat cathartic to be able to see them say things which I feel are truisms that I can't say well that's what it's all about in a way you know I think when you're it's kind of like I could talk about my brother but don't you talk about my brother of course and and I would rather hear the brother talk about the brother but more than me anyway because he know I'm a little better than me he's gonna really get in there so I think people accept it when it comes from their own and but it's hard to it's hard to hear when it's from somebody else also we live in an age of bad faith and when I say bad faith I mean people don't argue or make points generally about what they really believe or they really think will help things along they do it on what can I get you on we live in waukestan yeah you know it's like you sparring it's like a sparring yes instead of learning from each other correct which is what it's all about but also I can get you on something like such a a mean girl's attitude you know they're like you didn't get the memo that uh we don't say um Latino anymore we say latinx yeah you say it you know who doesn't say it Latinos yeah they [ __ ] hate it but it's like no we can change the rules and then the people who haven't caught on will get them it's it's you know we think it's fetch latinx yeah no you know it's it's weird how the names always changing every so like 20 or 30 years somebody wants to put a new label on the same thing you mean ethnic names yeah yeah right seem like you know you go from this to that to that and the other right at the end of the day April of color used to be you know reversed 50 years ago yeah and um it's just done to really keep us bickering and you know chasing these words okay so they're not really getting to the root of of the issues which are most of the time very common if we really go down to the root of it could not agree more yeah but you said it's being done to divide us okay by who who's doing it well who benefits and profits off are bickering in our division you know who like follow the money I don't know their names bill but if you follow the money you go high enough you start to see okay um you know this is an industry okay let's take let's take rap music let's take it same people who on the labels on the prisons so literally the same people literally the same people who own the labels on private prisons so so you know it seems really kind of suspicious if you want to say that word that you know the records that come out are really geared to push people towards that prison industry but they didn't make you write those lyrics it's not about making it's not about making somebody write the lyrics it's about um being there as guard rails to make sure certain songs make it through and certain songs Don't certain flavors are Exposed on the record you know some records are made by committee you meaning record company guys sit around and tell the artists this is hot say that do this we're gonna have this guy write the lyrics we're gonna have that so the The Narrative is really kind of you know structured and and and and and and and really made into what the record company want the record to be and what the you know a lot of artists are frustrated with this kind of music making you know a lot of people you know feel like they're being controlled by the label this is how they do it telling you what songs are saying what Hooks to do what songs you know you can do your song that's fine that's an album cut but you wanna the single is what we all say is the single so you have you know the record company pushing a narrative you know um and and and and and and you know so this this to me is in some way uh you know some social engineering going on here to to make sure those prisons Stay full now there's a lot of course a lot of dots to connect to make that happen but I'm just giving you a broad example of how people at the top can manipulate what's going on with the people who are bickering and fighting I just gave you a music example but there's examples of of connect can I cross-examine this there if you can cross-examine of course but I appreciate it yeah okay so if your theory is that the prison industrial complex and I agree that's an Abomination we'll start off with there prison should I've done editorials on this on my show Prison is one of those things that should not be in private hands yes along with Healthcare a few other things that are like you know the the good part of socialism this they should not be run by people for profit I agree with you yes I did not know about this connection to the music industry that it's the exact same people if we're if by that you mean that the people who run the record companies may have stock in prisons private prisons that's possible because they all have I mean do they actually like Monday Tuesday go to work as a record company executive and Wednesday through Friday go to working on prisons no no no no no okay so if of course they're not they're not actually running the labels they have financial interest they have Financial interests so if they have financial interest in the prisons and your theory if I'm following correctly is that the kind of stuff in rap lyrics works as a funnel to get people uh inspired to do the kind of things that would get them in prison right like for example writing a lyric [ __ ] the police yeah I mean writing the lyrics you might get somebody arrested and said the president that might get somebody arrested and sent to prison that's just one example one record that the record company did not manipulate you know that's pure Artistry right but I've seen labels I've uh did they work with artists did they manipulate you no I'm I'm never I'm an independent artist always have been I started off on Independent labels so how were you able to avoid this trap that so many others fell in um what did you do right I I wouldn't let a r [ __ ] in my studio like you're not [ __ ] coming in here telling me how to make a record right I'm gonna come from the heart I'm gonna do what I feel so I never allowed an R to I never had anybody and army but Dr Dre you know so um that's pretty all right you know I just wasn't ever going for it and you know they just kind of like let me alone do my thing and I was on the independent label like priority I wasn't on a major um and majors you know they do it with singers they do it with rappers they they uh they have a lot to say in what but it is what's the finished product isn't it always the case anywhere in show business but okay let's just talk music where the people who are the most talented and uh are making money therefore the label of course you get to yeah yeah of course you get to make your own rules because it's always about if you're making money for me you can get away with anything Roseanne once sang the national anthem in front of some stadium before like the Super Bowl or some big game World Series or something and like butchered it almost on purpose it was like you can imagine what America made of [ __ ] with the the precious Anthem they went ape [ __ ] but her show was number one on ABC so they kept her later on she did something bad and they got rid of her times and change but my point is like when you're making people money they are going they're going to leave you alone it's the people who can't afford to tell them to [ __ ] off I don't know about that really I think the more money you make the more money that you're making for um a label more than likely the more money you're costing to to you know produce the records to do all that they have so much invested that they're gonna I say micromanage even more like the biggest artists got labels and they asked all the time to keep it going to keep the cash cow rolling right um you know you have of course Rogue artists that do their own thing but you know usually the label kind of backs off of them and goes with the with the artists they can really uh where do you record you must be or your home yeah I got I got a spot in um in Burbank behind the Burbank Airport and then uh with when kovi came around I had to I had to put a studio in my house so to still be able to get down why didn't you and that's usually what people on your level do isn't it well I don't want to [ __ ] bass players and right strangers coming in my house and [ __ ] right you know what I mean I'm like yeah that's right yeah ready to go to the studio they can hang out smoke weed and Riot do the [ __ ] they do and I don't have to worry about exactly [ __ ] up my carpet or waking up my wife you know what I'm saying like no I get it yeah right I always having to pee or some [ __ ] right like I gotta watch them and [ __ ] you know what I mean like it's my personal [ __ ] up there I don't wanna have to watch no damn and you uh how often do you go into the studio when I feel it you know it's it's a it's a straight off the gut feeling thing you know it's really about um inspiration you know I don't make records now for the radio I don't make records for to get a [ __ ] Grammy and those [ __ ] like that I make records for for my clientele for Ice Cube fans right people who love to hear me rap right that's what I make records for right you know everybody else can get it how they how they how they live it you know what I mean so all I care about is making ice cube fans happy with the music you know everybody else can kind of get in with what they fit in I feel the same way about my fans like everything I do I mean I'm I guess past the normal age for retirement even a number 65 so but in return do what exactly oh no I it hasn't even crossed my mind um but I'm just saying that I don't need to work anymore yeah you know and neither do you you know and I I feel like that is what you said is how I feel also I do what I do for the people who have already pretty much established that yes they're on my wavelength there I've opened minds they want some place and somebody on television and in concerts around the country but mostly on television or here but television is much more political who will like have a real discussion with people yeah and I do it for them and they're a dwindling mob by the way and wow you know anything like so partisan I mean the world needs that the world needs Straight Shooters yes who are not worried about just being safe and you know we don't want to hurt nobody's feelings or we don't want to offend nobody or you know it's it's it gets kind of but also not in a bubble already yeah I don't want to [ __ ] with the bubble people I mean for years I made fun of the Fox News bubble because it was sort of the only bubble and then I feel like the left oh they actually built a bubble of Their Own it's weird it's weird you know um and I think you know at a certain point you it's like you you're jumping on a team you know it's it's like all about team yeah it's only about team nobody looks at anything through the lens of what is the actual truth it's like does my team get behind this and and the media is the problem because the media especially like the people like MSNBC and Fox News every story is okay how can we tell this story in a way that okay maybe he doesn't lie but we could leave some [ __ ] out yeah it depends on what we accent let's accent the stuff that we know our audience is gonna love that's gonna make those hamsters hit the wheel and say give me more of that crack that's what the media does and and like how long can you binge watch your own you know kind of like endlessly yes like for a lot of these people is the answer yeah endlessly they have it on all day I know people who have MSNBC on all day and they hear the same people and I like all those people and they're smart people and most of my politics align with them even but I can't do it I can't I don't want to hear any story where I go okay I'm not doubting what you're telling me but I know there's things you're not telling me yeah and I don't like that yeah it becomes like a stick yeah exactly a stick you know like you know we do it this way over here you know what I mean don't I I saw this uh you know I'm flipping through Tick Tock I saw this little I guess it was a movie and the lady was uh she was coming to take the order and she was like what you don't want I was like what what you don't want right because we only serve you know we serve uh meat and taters or meat and rice so what you don't want you either don't want potatoes or you don't want rice so it's just like this all we got don't ask for [ __ ] else right this is what we're serving you know we we just dropping Transmissions you know don't ask for a paint job here this yeah only bulbs you know there's stores like that yeah that's it do you sell shade the side says only bulbs all day long but uh yeah I mean this is a country I would say where everyone wants to order off the menu yeah everyone sees himself as an order of the menu person which I guess you know the truth is for all the [ __ ] that you hear about this country and there is a lot of [ __ ] and a lot of problems we actually are kind of now as a compared to the rest of the world kind of kicking ass I mean we came out of the pandemic economically better than any other country and almost did worse in it because we have so much obesity and that's basically what took people down while we had such bad numbers um you know but how do people feel do people feel that way do people feel out of the pandemic we all feel a lot better it seemed like people feel like um they're almost at their wits in yeah but again I I hear this and I know what it is and I I'm not denying there's a lot of it out there there's always is this is human life it's not a picnic for a lot of people I know parts of my life that were just horrible you know so I get it but when I drive around I don't see like a country that's falling apart you know Trump is out there it's dying America's it's dying it's not dying not maybe I'm going to that's just the greatest play but I know I drive all around I'm in different cities touring you know I I see a lot of life and restaurants and people and they're not like unhappy and money is being spent unemployment is super low inflation is a bad thing that's like a real thing that they did by spending way too much [ __ ] money that they didn't have to spend on the pandemic you know I know people I'm in the entertainment business so I know people that's doing good but I know people that's that's struggling of course you know people with that go to the grocery store and and see you know 35 eggs and [ __ ] like what the hell is going on um you know so I I I think you know the con the country you know real bad you know it's a lot of full of [ __ ] stuff so much that needs to just be um drained out of there but a lot of it is bipartisan [ __ ] like what I mean by that is like the debt is gonna kill us but both of them do it both of them as soon as they get in office they spend more than they have um a lot of it is the the scam like California I just read finally gave up on their um they were going to build a high-speed rail yeah it started in 2008 yeah uh 15 years later just could not get it done because the amount of [ __ ] pigs at the trough who all needed to wet their beak and take some [ __ ] out of that the people the consultants and the lawyers and all these middlemen who weren't actually building the [ __ ] railroad it it became so expensive like 200 million dollars a mile to build this thing that they just finally gave up after they spent like 180 billion to build a train uh a railroad that is not happening that's the kind of [ __ ] that when you say anima that's when I think yeah I mean that's just is is unfathomable that you could waste that much money because I feel like on a bunch of nothing as much as they throw money at problems like people who are struggling yes there is terrible income inequality in this country but it's still the rich who pay the most taxes you pay a lot of taxes on that pay a lot of taxes yeah more than I'd like to yeah okay so it doesn't seem like more of that is gonna change anything no because you know we pay the taxes but we don't have a saying where where they go you know um but a lot goes to the programs you think perhaps would do better with more money um well you know it's probably like an education a bunch of it you know people at the top like you said a bunch of people you know a lot of lawyers I think the I think this this country is is over litigated it's two lawyers too many k too many yeah lawsuits too many yeah too many coward judges who won't throw that [ __ ] out there well you know we haven't said a president or or I don't want to be the one to kick that out let the appeals court do it and it's like you're supposed to be here for common sense and you know you're just basically a clerk so it's just um I mean that's true it's a you know it's like uh it's like you know I love Vegas you know but no matter how many lights they put up it's still about gambling and you know walking out of there pour it in you walked in is the game you know I mean no matter how you separate it how pretty you make it right it's all about you know they want you to leave you know separate ready from your money you can play and have fun and play the little game but basically they want they want your money they don't want you to win if you win too much they'll score you out you know I just played Vegas last weekend I love Vegas because when I'm in Vegas I feel like it could truly be myself a prostitute with a gambling no but there is time to find his favorite pie I guess but there there is something about being in a town that is the one thing in America that's that's there and made for adults as opposed to Children everything else is for [ __ ] children and I as someone who's never had children you know obviously I feel a little bit of a fish out of water but when Vegas tried to be like uh for the whole family in the 90s they failed because it's not bad when they reinvented themselves with the slogan uh what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas I mean you can't get closer to saying we're not going to talk about the girl you brought home from the Spearmint Rhino yeah I'm not going to talk about that okay and love your little kids at home and leave the kids at home you know I don't see any hardly any kids anywhere when I go to Vegas you just don't see it I wonder if they're banned I mean you know a lot of people's like ftk man [ __ ] them kids right you know but I mean Europe I only know uh you're one kid who's a fantastic actor oh yeah O'Shea made a uh great little place for himself yeah I mean I love my kids like I'm sure they're amazing they're good people you know and at the end of the day that's all you wanna contribute you know you want to contribute good people who are not trying to scam somebody not trying to beat somebody who's not trying to get over um they're not into the the you know the drug the drinking the gang banging the [ __ ] they they not into that and all your kids are like that all of them you know correct they not womanizers or nothing like that like you but what I'm saying is they not bringing a bunch of babies home right you know um and all that kind of crazy [ __ ] and they not they not wow like they're not taking advantage like they could be like some kids would be like I would probably be like if my father was Ice Cube no everybody around here would know [ __ ] little Cube he keeps coming around here [ __ ] you know wanting his way all the [ __ ] time you know I mean like so now you obviously did it right I mean that's not coincidence when kids come out good look somebody once said who has children has given hostages to Fortune it's true bad [ __ ] can happen to good people but in general when the parents do it right the kids come out good yeah I mean you know I've seen some great parents with some crazy asses you know like you know but you don't know how they parented when you weren't there that's true that's true that's true in general yeah I really feel like and and a kid doesn't absolutely even need to two is better they just need one person who's gonna always be there and will no matter what you do if they're a kid is mad at the world I'm still gonna stay you can throw rocks at my head I'll be there tomorrow and don't give in to their [ __ ] yeah don't want to be their friend yeah you can be their friend when they're grown up and they're and they're made when the clay has been molded but not before that's what yeah today's parents [ __ ] up with they want to be their kids friend or they're just not your job or they're totally scared of the kids they don't want to say [ __ ] to them I do a bit about that one you know I mean like they they don't want to say nothing to them they don't want to yeah they don't want their kids they like this practically trembling yes when they're ready to go you're ready to go it's uh I know it's the wildest sight you know uh I think you got to be firm but fair and you got to be uh the parent you can't you can't fall apart one day like you know and and and and just throw a tantrum and [ __ ] and and you know be a kid like you can't you got to hold it together and so you know you're an example you know you're gonna they're gonna watch I feel like the black community has a lot of like on both ends of the spectrum like parents who are didn't do the job at all and a lot of kids raised my grandparents and then lots of parents who are like so much better than the white parents because they don't take [ __ ] and they just do it the way we used to do it the right way my I had a you know you'll hate me for this but a girlfriend years ago and she said to me the difference between me and my white friends is when I [ __ ] up like in the supermarket the white friends when we get home my mother right here is right there yeah you know uh and that's how you do it right that's right I mean you know you gotta nip it in the bud you know what I mean you really do and um but he was great in Ingrid Goes West yeah a lot of people have not seen that movie maybe now that Aubry Plaza is such a big star who I always was a huge fan of I I every time I was in a hotel room I'm on the road usually you know what I where I watch my movies like in the in the hotel where they have the first run movies yeah and this chick was always in some awesome Indie movie I never heard of and uh I'm happy for it but uh he that was such a great movie yeah she's awesome he's awesome such a great comment it was about social media and this chick who like gets sucked into you know she it's so it's such a great comment on the kids today who like live more in a virtual world yeah than a real world yeah it's it's uh well you know he picks great films to do you know uh that's located yeah I grew up I mean you know coming up through it I did you know a lot of hood movies but he's you know he wants to you know go outside the box so you know I'm really proud of his decision making um he's in Spain right now you know and and uh he's working on um dinner thieves too oh yeah so is very cool to see him you know take the Baton and run with it yeah and not [ __ ] it up you know yeah not [ __ ] it up and not give credit to a nepo baby without a doubt I tell him I say man you second generation Hollywood been going there and act like it right the only don't go in there and act like you some Starving Artists and [ __ ] yeah I know hey I did a thing on the nepo babies before the strike shut us down and I was saying first of all I don't begrudge them um they're very often great because very often the gene is in the family you know and often you're around it and so it comes second nature and you absorb it from your talented forebearer you know that's all good just don't say uh you know I had it harder no you didn't have it harder you actually had it a little easier because it's always a good story to have somebody who is you know or you know hey it just got my foot in the door well a lot of show business is getting your foot in the door so okay yeah but still people are very talented what I was saying was Show Business nepo babies politics and apple babies the one place that has no nepo babies is sports which is why I trust it more than anything else yeah like you can be the son of of a player but you're not there because you're the son of a player Doc Rivers kid it's good enough to be in the NBA yeah it's not because his father's doctor not at all so Sports is the only thing I trust 100 whereas I know the 450 people in the NBA are the best they can find in the world and they do go all over the world and they're looking every day yeah I bet they are they're [ __ ] looking of course yeah you know it's not like oh we got our team we don't have to right you know so they're they're always looking to improve hey what a perfect segue and I never had one in this show before because I don't do Segways because I'm too stoned but that Segway hit me in the head you have a basketball league yes the big three look at me just like a real talk yeah futurism man tell me about your uh tell me about your basketball league Ice Cube I I hear it's exciting and the new thing in basketball without a doubt you know it's the big three uh professional three on three yep you know it's kind of like three on Three's been the the step cousin of five on five forever it's what when I heard about your league I said this is how I play this is what I do half court three out of three all the rules so we just did then just made you know kind of elevated to the professional level added some wrinkles that the NBA can't do you know like a four point we got four point circles out there so if you shoot 30 feet from the basket man you deserve extra point and uh because I as as the in perimeter of this great new league who knows this better than anybody and you are the authority can I bring to you an argument that I have with a basketball player friend of mine named Woody Harrelson no problem we play here all the time yeah okay here's my contention you're playing half court yes a guy shoots an air ball yes I say that still has to go back court because you're trying to simulate exactly what would happen with a full court in a full court if a guy shoots an air ball you don't suddenly change baskets but Woody Harrelson and many other people say no in half court if a guy shoots an air ball and you get the rebound and you're on the other team you can go right up and score yeah it's the equivalent of a turnover fast break dunk you know guy shoots an Airborne doesn't hit the rim um so you're with Woody on this yes that's how we planted three uh why did I stumble into that guy you know you hit the rim like you know I mean like okay like we can have little babies out here that don't hit the rim you know what I'm saying so like you gotta hit the rim if you're you're you're if it's a serious shot excuse me but the pros sometimes shoot air balls okay and it's a turnover and then there's dunks yeah you know and so how's the turnover how should a turnover be um dealt with you're coming you're driving in a guy pokes it right to the guy right up under the basket from the defensive team he should be able to lay that up because it's a turnover he should get an easy basket because they turned you over I I feel like this is poor logic the point of half court is it could be a picture of the Court the full court we don't want to waste all that time going through the middle part of the Court we want to get to where the action is which is within 30 feet of the basket so instead of going all the way back each time back and forth we take the ball back court and and then but we then we play at the same basket by that logic anything that would happen that would cause you to go to the other end of the court has to go to backcourt it's just a shorter trip I understand that in logic I'm gonna get the scowling just like just like you have boxing and you have MMA okay MMA is in the cage boxing is in a in a squared Circle octagon I mean MMA is in the octagon it's a cage octagon right okay and then you got the square circle got boxing gloves you got little mitts even though it's fighting even though it's pretty much the same they're still adjustments there's still things that that make MMA exciting there's things that keep boxing exciting that that's all their own so you know the the whole thing about like okay this is how they do it in full court we're creating a whole new game here three on three is a whole different game than five five because it's a lot more personal you know in five on five you can be a specialist you can right just be a defensive guy right or a rebounder guy you know what I mean yeah 93 on three right you gotta pass shoot the fan right um and and and score you know past you defend and score rebound you got to do it all or you you'll be exposed right and really embarrassed so right because I played many games where one guy is lame yeah I'm three and it and it's it does throw off the balance without a doubt yeah so I have been that guy a few times hey you know what happened it's not a good feeling it's not you looked up you like damn everybody's better than me right or you're just having a bad day normally you're not the worst but for some reason some reason yeah you know even the pros have two for 18 nights yeah you know it is it's funny how that happens you know well it's fun what's funny to me about basketball is two things if I had never seen a guy shoot a basketball from 25 feet away or even 20 feet away if I'd never seen that in my life I would think the chances of getting that ball into that hoop are a one in a thousand it just yeah and yet when you do it it's it's you know I mean the pros if they when they're not guarded it's like eight out of ten yeah it's insane and when they are guarded it's half if they're good yeah but even on any given night I mean it's such a small margin of error I don't know why some days I like I feel fine I'm not drunk I've played drunk um I played better drunk uh but for whatever reason the same shots just are off by two inches and that's enough to just give you that bad night that's what make us amateurs you know I mean that's what makes the pros do it yeah very very very few Pros like LeBron James is one of the very few you just never see two for 18. yeah you just you never see it yeah he he's never efficient he's efficient and he's just never bad it's never like oh one of those nights yeah it's true yeah very few were like are like that that's why he's the king yeah why you're saying he's the best ever no I don't know about that it's the king but I don't I'm not saying he's a yeah well they I mean they play it's so hard to when people have those Sports arguments about who was better Babe Ruth it's like they played in such different times with such different circumstances against different people um yeah I mean I mean the Jordan era was so much more physical there was a lot it was rough it was rough where same in football you know they used to not protect the quarterback at all not at all he used to be I mean oh what what happened to Joe Montana is just Criminal I mean that hit he took to put him on for two years I don't even remember that but I do remember I remember the the oh yeah Lawrence Taylor against Joe Thomas and that leg Yeah I could still see it one of the grossest things I thought I would never see anything like that in football oh I was like that can happen it's like yeah that can happen no so you know they they definitely or play a game now that I find frustrating to watch and a lot of people doing too much flopping too A lot of it is it's like it's almost like it's half basketball half ballet you know you've got all these moves that they do that are sort of like automatic standing there to get the charge it's like it's not natural that's not how you really would play defense you it's it's like we're we're merging this into some code some of the sort of Kabuki yeah I mean I think they're they're more you know they play 82 games that's a hell of a lot of basketball games uh and I think they're really worrying about a guy you know instead of getting the guy who goes all out and gives you six years of all out they want 10 12 years out you so they want you to last a little longer they don't want you to take the hits they don't want it to be as physical they won't you know guys getting out of the way yeah everybody you know that's why in the big three we don't play that [ __ ] right now it's like back to old school right physical hand checking come in the lane and it is nothing nice and you know that's that's how we grew up playing guys can Trash Talk they won't get a [ __ ] protect and thrown out so you can be yourself we got your robots you have de-pussified basketball yes I took I I definitely uh you know put the put the uh you know what we loved about the game right that it wasn't an easy bucket right that nobody was gonna get out your way right um you're gonna have to earn it right real defense right um and you know I I took out the game clock so it's first to 50 win right just like the back yeah and we have a shot clock so you 14 seconds to get it up so right you can't sit there and talk and dribble but uh it's fast paced and guys love to play you know good guys love to play uh the NBA hates us you know they think you know black is your competition because you're showing them up well they they don't like us changing basketball without asking them for permission we didn't go and say please Adam Silver please please can we put a four-point circle in our game can we please you know do Innovative things but you guys are too slow to do there are always in sports there have been competing leagues and usually they get absorbed now this couldn't happen with you because you're playing a completely different game I mean you know I mean they could be they can actually work with us and not against us you know they work together they work with the WNBA they work with the WNBA right they work with uh you know they have the g-league they uh they also work with this TBT uh the basketball league you know so and it's a and it actually is beneficial to them because a lot of the people in your league are recently retired NBA stars so the fans have an affection for the recently retired you they followed them their whole career okay we get it it's time you go out to pasture you know that it's not a longevity thing sports but we still like to see them in the past where do they go the broadcast Booth but you know they still can play they just can't play they just can't play 82 games and they just can't play against guys who are 22. they actually can they just can't play 82 games against guys that's 22. nobody plays 82 games because they they have these nights where you go to the Broadway play and and it says there's a little thing a sticker in the play bill that says uh the perform the part of Hamlet tonight will not be played by the guy you came to see uh but you know Josh McGee yeah and and that sucks and that happens in the NBA yeah I mean they rest players deliberately like they're not hurt it's just like take two games is too many young what even the young players the time off so 82 games is too many in our league they play 10 games once a week half court to 50. go all out um we don't just have retired players we have you know young players 27 year olds you know we go as young as 22. um and guys um in that setting it's a whole different game so we've had guys come from the NBA into the big three and not do good and we had guys in the big three never made it to the NBA you know win the championship so it's its own sport right and that's that's probably why they they don't dig it you know um but we we've been here for you know just six years and um they can't it takes a while for something new to catch on yeah people are not great fans of new nah I mean they just like they want to see they want to see if you can make it work you know a lot of people just kind of want to watch and see if this is something I can get behind this is going to be here every year you know a lot of you know unfortunately we had to go through covet and and other new leagues came and went you know like it's aaf League uh XFL came and it went and it came back with the rock usfl you got all these different leagues that's that's kind of around you know now they got pickleball and right you know um so you have to fight through all that noise and let them know no no no no we're we're here to stay you know we're not going anywhere um and you know we're gonna be the fastest League to profit and and pro sports league history now I think as a midlife crisis project it's ranks at the top because people do some crazy things when they get to be like you know late 40s 50 and like okay the the things have worked out and then they just okay I think what I need to do is build a rocket ship you know on space or you gotta you gotta stay creative you know being creative is why I got into the business no I didn't think I was gonna make a quarter and doing rap music you know we was just doing it for fun you know to to be cool to to you know be clever and and to be a part of a new wave of music that everybody you know older than us was really shunning how do you feel about the police now um things have changed like I've always felt the bottom you know they don't think they've changed at all um in what ways you know uh I think they well they never used to arrest their own and put them on trial and put them in jail you know I don't think yeah but I don't think the police police are internally police are people I understand that but police are uh organization you know their fraternity yes and they um you know they had a Rules of Engagement some you know are in the police manual some are not you know what I mean so well they're they're not real bad ones are the ones that are in unfortunately you know Serve and Protect is not really on their mind win and go home is so um there's a lot of problems that that was happening in 89 when we did the record and the same problems are happening today of course because we did the record police are to me held accountable because before the record they wasn't you know you get guys on the stand and just because the cops said you did it everybody thought you did it Society is different 18 and 18 yes 1889 1989 2023 yeah just is it is and cops are people who come from society so the chance that a cop would have been racist in 1989 I feel is greater than a young person who or cop there especially a young man's game when they're out on the street okay so a guy he's 25 he was born in 1998 he was born in an era where about the most uncool thing you could be was a racist now there are pockets of this country of course where that's not true but why would you go there they have no good restaurants they're they're you know you just wouldn't don't have to go to a holler in Appalachia I think it's a situation where you know cops they are young you know because of that sometimes they don't know how to talk to people they don't really know how to communicate the Young Generation really don't really um communicate as well because of the phone because of the phone because all you know all kind of different social uh reasons that they don't talk to each other you know they rather they'll be sitting in the same room texting each other so um what do you mean sometimes them young cops don't know how to communicate so they go straight for the first you know because they don't know how to talk you down they don't know how to say hey man come over here let me yeah what's going on so they don't really know how to communicate so the force comes with that and you know accent is the police different it's like accident is the military different you know they you might have one or two different kind of soldiers come in and out but the basic um organization is the same it's not going to change you know it's there to win and and not to lose I mean to get home safe to get home safe no matter what that's always been one of my big problems with the police they don't appreciate me saying but I have they have a bad attitude about um how dangerous their job is and how much the priority is them not being in danger if you want to never be in danger be a plumber the worst that's going to happen is you're going to be snaking a drain and you smell like [ __ ] this there is an element of danger so when they say things like a better to be judged by 12 than carried out by six you've heard that yeah that is the wrong rap lines too yes it was that is that is the wrong attitude to have about the job of policing you can't be like okay how do I solve this problem of me feeling scared now I shoot the thing that's scaring me that that's about that has to be cured in the police department yeah across lines because they're they're not going to cure that because yes you're right they want they want their Partners yeah to have that attitude they're partner want them to have that attitude and if each one have that attitude this is why somebody gets shot 85 times so you know yeah so everybody you know the thing is empty your [ __ ] because AI is gonna ask you why didn't you why you only shoot 10 shots instead of 16 seen like everybody else did you feel like it was over did you stop for a reason no so everybody empties their Clips so no everybody looked like the threat was the same for everybody everybody was just as scared and now this guy is shot 51 times you know see you know what I I mentioned that many times on my show that the thing about shooting everybody has to empty their clip I never understood before you explained that why they do that yeah I thought it was just because they were so all just jacked up but because this makes a stop shooting no I get it two shots and this guy shot 16. I get it you know you're gonna be like I remember I remember quoting this statistic once and then this is a while ago but maybe it was from like 2011 or something but like the entire country of Germany I think in that year the police fired like 91 shots in the entire whole country that used to be full of Nazis yeah they and we that that was just like the opening Salvo you remember when the surname guy and the kid who bombed the Boston Marathon he was hiding in that boat yeah and that boat was so shot up and they missed him and they still missed him wow it was like it was like a parody the boat every place had a bullet hole Yeah and the kid would look up yeah but if you were a cop don't you think would you feel that way I mean if we probably all would if we were pressed into that service yeah I mean it's a it's a stressful job yeah you know stressful and it's probably not a job you should do every day but I bet you a lot of it is more I think the reason people do it it's more fun than sitting behind a desk first of all most people kiss your ass like yes there is danger some danger although they have statistics on this and it doesn't crack the top ten yeah police work is less dangerous than such Daredevils as fishermen cab drivers and people who work on on telephone wires so like it's not the most dangerous job in the world but yes there is danger but you go into that it's like a proctologist complaining I'm looking up people's asses all day yes because you decided to be a proctologist exactly bruh and you know it's it's a thing this thing where um you know that might be a reason too why they get so jacked up when it's something going on that's probably why 10 police show up you know because they're so [ __ ] bored you know it's kind of like yo something going down let's get over there and get some of this action you know let me get a lick in you know it's kind of like a team that practices but never gives a chance to play you know everybody want to get a lick at him it does seem like when they want to have a million cops in any one place it's not that hard to do no I mean they and they all show up and they all stand around yeah there's a lot of standing around well that's what I'm saying like yes there is danger and there is sometimes disrespect and cops do get shot I mean they do get assassinated yeah it's not a it's a cool idea to go to work every day knowing oh yeah it's like turning on the light switch and there's one in a thousand chance or whatever chance that I could get you know that's not cool yeah but then and you see what I don't understand your copy frustrated you wanna kick a little ass tonight right um the kid who just went into the church and shot nine or ten people put a bulletproof vest on him and protect him but the the little kid the 18 year old doesn't mouthing off at the mall you know crack his eye socket you see what I'm saying it's like what like why oh yeah what's the bullying like why don't you guys give it to the ones that deserve it over over just some innocent kid who's mouthing off okay this is my other complaint with the police too concerned with your safety over the people's safety year Pledge to protect and also oh and also the thing about complaining about disrespect when most people give you free food and you walk around like kings everywhere you can hit on any girl we all know every girl has a story about cops yes maybe I should protect you by following you home now that I pulled you over for no reason except driving while pretty yeah you know they they call that all that all that all that yeah but the other one is um oh [ __ ] now I forgot because you're gone I don't worry about it man you know it's to me it's a thousand things we can come up with that ain't cool no um but you know it's really about but you need it's about respect well and and a society needs police definitely we know that I'm not saying of course you know no you're all police sir no I know yeah you're you're I'm just pointing out why it's no different than it was you know it's it's the same how would you know you live in some giant Palace I mean everybody I know don't so you know I I hear what what my folks got to go through and what well you know a lot of them you know they deal with the police in different kind of ways you know a lot of them some of them they got records so you know the police is checking in on them every now and then right [ __ ] with them um you know some of them can't go out the country because of [ __ ] you know it's it's just different things that them going through the system has it's not always abuse but it's always the system really kind of churning on them and um you know overworking them I remember what my other complaint was what the police need to have a better vetting system about who gets to be a policeman there's too many people who become policemen because they were stuffed in a locker in high school and they want to have a right they want those guys they egg well maybe you're right I think they want those guys with the chip on this show the guys who you know ready to give Society what it deserves yes um it's kind of like having a a dirty player on your team as long as you play on your team it's cool wreck my horn you know it's like Charles Oakley Romanowski is long as he's on your team it's cool right you know minute he goes to the other team then you say you know why are they letting this guy play so like they all on the same team man you know they want the Wolves they don't want the right Chihuahuas you know what I'm saying they want they want guys who are ready to go get some and um you know it's uh you know to some it is a sport it is the action it is all about the adrenaline rush and right and uh being physical and having power you know some guys are just power free it's interesting we we're talking I don't know an hour ago or something about how celebrities right their mind goes cuckoo because there's too much adulation you're exalted by people so you can get away with anything it's a little like that when you're a cop because you can just basically do anything because you are the police yeah what are they going to do call a cop I am a cop that is a kind of first of all it's it's a lot of power to trust with a person but of course the alternative is not feasible we do need police but it is a lot of power so you should pick much more carefully the kind of people who you're giving that power to you're giving them a monopoly on violence I don't think they care because here's why you and I they don't they know when when those cops go out and do something bad yeah the police don't get the bill like the police nothing happens to the police department it all goes to City Hall they have to pay it right the police still get their money nobody loses a dime right now if you may please get insurance if you may please get insurance now is do you want to be a racist or you want to keep your badge because if you keep getting these complaints or you keep brutalizing people and costing us money we're going to take away your insurance but we're taking away your badge you're out of a career so it's the insurance company call the police won't do that but it's always an opinion doctor has to get insurance why not a cop the hard part of it is because cops are engaging with borderline people as their job they're not engaging with the people who are just going about their lives not doing anything shady generally so and they're scared and we've covered that they shouldn't put their safety ahead of the citizens but that's who you deal with I had to cop on my old show Politically Incorrect and he said when I worked in the Spanish neighborhood I hated Spanish people when I worked in the black neighborhood I hated black people and when I worked in the valley I hated white people that's the problem yeah because you're dealing with you know people at their worst you're dealing with people at their worst every day you know I think it's not an everyday job I think cops should go in every other day for one like basketball take some stress off yeah get yourself ready no one can play 82 games you never know what that guy went through in them last right 10 or 12 hours no you know so but but but I think by not putting some kind of personal responsibility on the officers then you lead to a a George Floyd situation you know this guy had you know over 20 complaints you know what I mean he wouldn't have been on the force to be able to do that you know I mean he would have been somebody some insurance company would have been like dude you got one oh I see what you're saying booted oh yeah because you're costing right US money oh with these complaints oh that's a good idea you know what I'm saying yeah it doesn't go to City Hall doesn't go to the taxpayer is is you know and guys would think twice about being uh excessive right you need Force right it's the excessive no everybody wants to find that right line yeah it's hard but it but it is hard when you're a cop because you don't know until after the situation is over now in the case of George Floyd completely unnecessary because he was no threat he's on the ground it's just being a dick which turned into this that's the problem it's not no it's incident no no something went bad it's just a cop you know Split Second decision made the wrong decision killed a guy but it's it's okay torture it's the abuse it's the but I'm taking it too far okay but O'Shea Jackson I should flatter you and say why I thought you were brothers but you know plainly you're the father anyway but the difference between 2023 or whenever that happened 2020 and back in your day uh writing your songs is that back then what they would have said is uh we checked the police manual and it is completely exactly as it says in the manual you put your knee on his head until he's dead that is what it was enabled now say good night he's in jail yes okay so let's just acknowledge we're not saying the there's no work to be the police changed did the police put him in jail I think when you listen to police Chiefs around the country many of whom are African-American yes you hear a deaf very a lot of them have no power though or various as police chief as police chief why do you say that well it's because for one they're they're elected officials that's not really coming out this Rank and file if they come out the rank and file they have their power but sometimes they put these they always have these for police Chiefs they got these police Chiefs and put them in place and give me like you know William Brown a lot of those guys are the last to know what their guys is doing on the street they're just the last to know you know it's kind of like when you it's like you know running your show sometimes when it's [ __ ] up and somebody's who's gonna go tell Bill and you're the last to know and you're like why y'all didn't tell me this [ __ ] three hours ago when I could have did something about it yeah so I think you know they're they're caught up with with the mayor and the and the and the news conferences and the fundraising and uh kissing babies and hi I'm the mayor [ __ ] and they don't know what the hell you know they're they're lieutenants and their you know you know they kick ass we used to have a mayor here Anthony [Music] villa villa Dosa or some [ __ ] like that I feel bad he's a nice guy forget forgive us Anthony Villa ragosa yeah yeah okay um but this guy was like I I've never seen a guy who like put on that politician thing I mean YouTube it was like it was almost like Ai and the handshake was like Beyond firm like I spent two weeks at Cedars yeah no it was like this guy and he would just boy some people are programmed for that job they love it he loved it [ __ ] like and they good at it and they good at it like Bill Clinton they said used to always be the last person to leave any room if 2 000 people were there and as they were filtering out if he would talk to everybody who wanted to talk to him damn Elizabeth Warren would take selfies with everybody who wanted to sell the election four thousand can you imagine taking 4 000 selfies in a row it what would you have to want that bad for me the answer is nothing nothing I would never be a politician and I mean that as a compliment thank you you're not the type it begging too much no but what politicians do you admire is there anybody I know we need an enema we agree on that I mean it's gonna be Biden and Trump probably because well you know who doesn't want a fresh 2024 election I mean what could be fractured than 280 year old reach Reds um you know anybody on the horizon I'm about as independent as they come yeah I love that they just like the partisan [ __ ] is kind of getting us nowhere fast and but who do you like what do you think about Robert Kennedy you I like Robert Kenny yeah he he was here just a week ago and by the way you didn't take the vaccine you gave up money for it I so admire that and without even having to get into vaccines which my accountant doesn't admire this much I'm sure yeah I bet you your wife doesn't like it either I mean my wife you know she she down so she she with me 100 but wait you also have a billion dollars already so it's not like you're driving an Uber now because you gave up nine million dollars nine million dollars throw it on the pot well you know uh I think everybody can use it so um but yeah you know to me principles amen what you've also I felt my heart that yes it's just too expensive your body yes you don't even have to explain it you know I get called an anti-vaxxer all the time anybody who has questions I'm not an anti-backster but but I should be able to make decisions about my own body because my body's different than yours and my history is different than yours and this pathogen is new there are some vaccines I wouldn't kill to get not very new you know it wasn't a year old the disease wasn't that scary and they just found out that it basically it's almost certain now it did come from the lab patient zero was the guy who worked in the lab wow Ben woo damn so I think your decision is going to look good in history well I mean I know it looks good in my body and I know you know yeah I know people who've had you know issues um after so yeah you know I'm not anti-vaxx I've been vax before right you know um but those back they would those vaccinations were study for 50 years before they got to me you know so um you know I just thought it was too soon it's a it's a deservedly controversial topic that this country does not want to have a debate or at least I should say the elitist types in this country who run the newspapers and so forth they just their their position should be in the media to question authority but in this case they're they they see their positioners to completely line up behind it and like Robert Kennedy has talked about in the New York Times like this this vaccine hysteric is not a hysteric he's a really smart guy who knows a lot of Science and you should talk to him I don't agree with everything he says either and I think sometimes he's gone a little too far and put a little who who's go who are you going to agree with the 100 exactly that's what I said no nobody you know you you got to feel life would be pretty dull if you did yeah and we would you know we wouldn't we wouldn't love the world that we was in if you had to so you know at the end of the day um he seems like a good dude who's trying to do the right thing and you know sometimes you gotta he is you gotta look through all the [ __ ] and and try to see the person no I just I just he's got a candidacy that started out at 20 just right off the bat okay some of that of course is the Kennedy name but but it's that's not all that it's people want this other voice in the debate and I find it just so depressing that a lot of the media organs get away with a joint decision too let's just strangle this baby in the crib yep let's just say right from the beginning as much as we can as often as we can from as many of our writers as we can he is some sort of Kook he's a crank he's a nut he's got misinformation as if science is just about what you know for sure sometimes it is some things are settled science but things like this are not and so let's just label him a kook that we kill in the crib it's just makes me [ __ ] hate those kind of people yeah man because you know let them debate let them debate let them debate let them get up there with an expert right in the pharmaceutical fields and let them have at it I'm pretty sure he'd welcome it he definitely would welcome it um and I'd want to see him against someone worthy yeah because he needs to answer all the I was trying to get him to answer some things I think he's going to have to answer on the campaign Trail but I was happy to hear him say things like like we said not an anti-vaxxer it's not like we'd think the vaccines are a myth or that it's a little man inside the needle I mean we're not crazy people it's a medical intervention that has a spotty record sometimes I generally believe that vaccines have done a lot of good in humanity and including with covid where lots of people did need a vaccine because they are not healthy and they should have gotten it and it probably saved their lives that's not me or or maybe it is but that's my judgment to make without a doubt you know that's that's the freedoms we are supposed to have look you got me drunk and ranting oh [ __ ] I knew it hey man you know um but that's why we appreciate what you do man you know you you uh you not only you know I mean you you do what we supposed to do question everything right why not question everything you know well listen there's a [ __ ] thrill having you here it's really cool I I'm first of all just very flattered that you
