00:01:24.900He gets right up next to the microphone.
00:01:26.160I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
00:01:29.580You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.

00:01:52.580Each week I bring on an amazing guest.
00:05:09.880and i did a great job great job mike was so nitpicky though he was like you could see the
00:05:15.920lines through the transparency well it's not the first time you had to photoshop uh something in
00:05:21.080a photo for a team maverick i don't know remember four years ago we had a i did a sponsorship gillette
00:05:26.540and i had that was the worst photoshop job ever and the thing's so disproportionate there's no
00:05:31.460shadow it's the worst thing i've ever done it worked you're good at saving your friend's ass
00:05:34.460when our shit is fucked and you'd be so surprised people of the internet how many times
00:05:38.820i might may or may not have come to the rescue that's all i'll say well how how good did that
00:05:43.680feel giving your mom that felt incredible dude so incredible so that hits different i remember the
00:05:47.460first time i got my dad uh that truck that he returned about telling me and bought other things
00:05:52.500within money that i got for him no problem greg but but when i did it and you again this is odd
00:05:57.820you're pretty involved in our lives you helped out immensely with that as well but um it hits
00:06:03.500different being able and i've said this before being able to provide and give something to the
00:06:08.320person who provided you with everything and made you you yeah that's a different type of gift giving
00:06:13.940uh on that level and i saw a good old rob and she was crying easily the most you know my most
00:06:18.500liked video i think people really resonate with that idea of uh giving back to exactly like you
00:06:23.380just said to the people that gave you so much and it felt incredible but now she's uh you know it
00:06:28.000was a double-edged sword it was nice seeing you but i miss you again i think she had gotten used
00:06:31.460to the fact that her son was like not around and now she's like and then it's sad for me at least
00:06:36.580You know, when I go see family, it's always great to see them, but it actually tore at me a little bit this time to leave because of this pandemic and not knowing when you're going to see him again.
00:06:46.680And it's it was nice seeing him, but but it's always it's always tough to then leave.
00:06:50.400But great trip. Chicago as well. Ton of food stuff. All going to be on the night shift. Portillo's hot dogs.
00:06:55.580Finally brought Amara to try New Haven pizza. And then she heard about that.
00:07:00.480Best pizza in the world. That's actually all Mike ever talks about. Connecticut has the best, best pizza in the world.
00:08:28.180Logan, I think a good attitude for gambling for you would be once you take that W, the first one, just run away from the table because clearly your history has not been so great.
00:09:29.760Like so much unknown about this particular virus, which has caused the biggest problems for it, right?
00:09:36.060Like even with the thing with our current president wanting to start to send kids back to school.
00:09:43.200Of course we want the schools to reopen.
00:09:44.780Of course we want kids to learn an education, which is a massive provider of income for teachers and obviously knowledge for students, to go back in.
00:09:51.360but and people are saying you know listen like the the mortality rate at that age is so low
00:09:56.480which is true which is true but first of all any mortality in a child is unacceptable or in any
00:10:04.860person it's really hard to make that call and say okay listen let's send them back but more
00:10:08.500importantly i don't know that there's enough knowledge of what this virus does to your system
00:10:14.340after you clear it out of your system long term we've heard a lot of we've heard a lot of people
00:14:36.340In your mind of minds, if a multi-billion dollar corporation was going to sell children online, sell children at all, or get involved in that game, do you think they would sell them online inside of cabinets?
00:22:53.340when something happens that's a joke we used to laugh at it it used to be oh kanye west is
00:23:02.440running for president we would all have a laugh and then we would get back to business as usual
00:23:05.520unfortunately because of how uh stupid this country currently is and what we believe which
00:23:12.660is that the dumbest shit is possible to happen which it is people latch on to the idea and it
00:23:18.220starts to distract from the real situation which is we have two candidates already Kanye West
00:23:23.240I did this with Trump I did this with Trump and I lost and I'm gonna do it again Kanye West will
00:23:30.920never be the president of the United States of America I can make that that bluntly and I hate
00:23:35.940saying that because it scares me to say it but I don't know if you say that word anymore though
00:23:39.600never you're right because it happened it did happen with trump i thought it was a joke you're
00:23:43.720right like many people i was like trump donald trump okay a guy from the apprentice is running
00:23:49.000for president of the united states no chance i would have bet my life he wouldn't have been
00:23:52.900elected as president a businessman who has you know or at least his thought is not a businessman
00:23:58.800he is he is it's a great it's a great point it's a great point i don't know what the reasoning is
00:24:05.580but a rapper like okay so once again where do you know he's more than a rapper though once again
00:24:09.960where do you draw the line is my question like can it can it be any at this point can anybody so
00:24:14.260like so here's my question who who's someone that's over 35 that has more clout than kanye
00:24:18.820there's got to be somebody there's got to be somebody who snoop no snoop dog no not but but
00:24:25.180at what point like do you start to look at this person be like okay jay-z for example yeah another
00:24:30.120businessman like what if he throws his hat in the ring what if naz throws his hat in the ring and
00:24:33.800What if, you know, what if Adam 22 says, I'm going to, I'm going to be like, at what point do you start to say, yo, like, can we focus on the people that can actually be the president?
00:24:44.080That anyone could grow up to be whatever they wanted to be.
00:24:46.300And like, if someone throws their hat in the ring to be president of the United States, it's okay to possibly consider their chance at the title.
00:26:56.520of what mike's saying sure here's here's my problem here's my issue with all of it and with
00:27:00.920anybody throwing their hat in the ring the president of the united states is not supposed
00:27:07.120to be a popularity contest it's not supposed to be a contest of like yo we fuck with that dude's
00:27:11.580music and yeezys bitch i fuck with them shoes bitch it's not supposed to be about that let me
00:27:18.180ask you precisely right now what policy of kanye's do you like best oh no he actually had an
00:27:23.840interesting Forbes article that came out and they did a four-hour interview they definitely
00:27:28.200he got slammed yeah for the whole thing yeah they cut it down he hates vaccines like what do you
00:27:32.500like what do I like about it I like his ability to speak the truth in the face of whoever has
00:27:37.400ever come at him like we've seen him multiple time times and time again just thrown under the bus
00:27:44.080when Kanye West says he's going on to be the greatest artist of all time doing this doing
00:27:48.480that I'm going to do this resilience resilience uh as far as policy he's he hasn't really said
00:27:53.540much okay but that being said but hold on there is still time i'm not i agree that he might not
00:27:59.960make it as this year's candidate that would be ridiculous but someone that wants to eventually
00:28:04.280be president of the united states needs to practice their campaign run donald trump got
00:28:08.180lucky on his first one joe biden's been running for president for a long time now right uh well
00:28:12.860no this is his first official run because hillary got the nod last time so this is his first official
00:28:16.800but but but but he was still in candidacy uh for the for the party yeah i believe so i can't i
00:28:22.900I could be I could be wrong. But you start somewhere. Yes. You start somewhere. And eventually along that line, you build up your policy to become a candidate for the president. You have to start somewhere. What I guess I'm getting at is this. In the past. The policy of a person that's going to run for president has always been based on the policies they've held before that role in other offices.
00:30:10.780that is not a a billion dollar business being able to brand a cool company being a great rapper
00:30:17.120those are not prerequisites or acceptable experiences for president of the united states
00:30:23.180as we are seeing right fucking now do you understand like i understand that as prerequisites
00:30:29.720but like you're you're acknowledging kanye's brilliance absolutely of course and his ability
00:30:34.020to to uh jump verticals yes and do everything incredibly right so if this is what i'm saying
00:30:39.200If he really devoted his life to the political climate over the next decade, maybe Michael here would be a little bit more open to the idea of Kanye being president right now.
00:32:15.840No, it is. It is. You can say that there's there's there's whole that's one thing that Kanye is completely going for to he wore the whole MAGA hat so that he could say that he is like it's OK to not be a Democrat and be black.
00:32:28.880fair but let me just tell you this really quick just because we sit here talking about how kanye
00:32:34.500is influential and a genius i assure you the black community as a whole does not look at kanye west
00:32:38.980as that he's not when he says when he says it's okay to be a republican i would assure you 70
00:32:44.780percent of the black community says why the fuck am i listening to this strange man who does these
00:32:49.160strange things tell me about fucking wait wait it happened it happened when he was in office
00:32:53.160with donald trump wearing the mag hat yeah black twitter exploded black twitter exploded i mean
00:32:58.660Keep in mind, the big thing to remember here is when there is a viral tweet, something that goes viral on Twitter, this goes all the way back to cancel culture and everything we talk about.
