Man needs no introduction Mr. Brooks with the good looks Robert Brooks. >> Robert Brooks: I was only here for the beer and then she got f***** up. Now I’m just here. >> John X: What happens? What’s good, man? We were talking right before we

Sequan to see when I would you know help you get in to see sequan Barkley. >> Andrew Johnson: Hey, this this is a sad day in New >> City Wing King: let’s >> Andrew Johnson: York football, you know for the the the trade. their best player on
The team to an NFC East rival the Eagles specifically. >> Robert Brooks: then freedom >> John X: Well, they didn’t trade They train him. >> City Wing King: Yeah, they didn’t try. >> Andrew Johnson: Well, I mean, well he well he what was it? he was free agent.
>> Robert Brooks: he was three agent. Yeah. >> City Wing King: Yeah, >> John X: Yeah, he left on his own. left on his own. >> City Wing King: They >> Robert Brooks: They didn’t want to pay him. >> Andrew Johnson: They want to pay him the money.
>> John X: They didn’t want to pay him. >> Andrew Johnson: was >> Robert Brooks: but the crazy part is >> Andrew Johnson: he what’s the deal? He didn’t get like 30. He got 37 was a 37 million. >> City Wing King: 37 to change 37 change
>> Robert Brooks: 37 for three. Yeah. >> Andrew Johnson: geez >> Robert Brooks: Which is >> John X: Yeah a little bit less than they paid. >> Robert Brooks: kind of similar to what he got as a franchise tag, isn’t it? >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah out.
>> Robert Brooks: Like >> John X: And yeah. >> City Wing King: Yeah >> Andrew Johnson: It’s a little more. >> City Wing King: a little more a little more than >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: it’s just that but like not enough to really.
>> City Wing King: Yeah, just takes more. No. >> Robert Brooks: Not have to really make a >> City Wing King: No, the different the >> John X: Well, there are some there are some incentives. They’re the incentives, right? The incentives can make it up to 46 million.
>> City Wing King: right >> Andrew Johnson: Oh >> John X: The Effie hits most of his numbers. That’s one thing. look >> City Wing King: yeah, and and the fact that you pay the fact that you paid Daniel Jones, sorry ass 40 million a season.
I’m getting the f*** out of here. >> Andrew Johnson: looks >> John X: just last Just last year. >> City Wing King: Yeah. >> Andrew Johnson: yeah, he may not start next year because they just picked up the dude >> John X: Yeah, can I?
>> Andrew Johnson: from they just picked up the other dude. I forget was he on the Jets or the the Seattle that’s right. >> John X: he was on he was on Seattle, but he’s >> Andrew Johnson: I’m sorry about that. Yeah. >> John X: yeah, but he’s he’s
Just a he’s just a he’s a he’s a terrible guy. He’s not he’s a terrible quarterback. He’s like mediocre. You know, he he’s not special. That’s that guy’s not anything special. Yeah, honestly like Rob first of all, f*** you for that Philly comment. You’re not even a
>> Robert Brooks: I’m not even Eagles fan, but I just want to see the s***. >> John X: you’re not even an eagles for him. >> Robert Brooks: I want to see the show though, because for this dude. Um, you know, he’s a Penn stateer so for him to come
To play for the Eagles, yo, he can have all and I mean all let me put that in capital letters a exclamation point all of the white meat on and off the menu like you get thirds and fourths everywhere he goes. >> John X: I think sequence.
He’s married and that’s the reason why he made the decision, you know to go for the best the Best the best money, you know the biggest paycheck. >> Robert Brooks: well, I think I think he just wanted to get away from a team that had >> City Wing King: Yeah.
>> Robert Brooks: Daniel Jones as his quarterback. >> John X: I >> City Wing King: And I mean the Giants are sinking ship at this at this point in time. I’m mad that Brian Burns went there low key. >> John X: mmm Well, you know
What? I’m like a giant I’m like a giant fan, you know, I’m acting on social media, you know top fan and I’ve been arguing about the stuff with sequin and about sequin and how they treated him over the past year and a half in comparison to Daniel Jones. who they
Essentially just open up the bacon City. here. Here’s all our money and didn’t negotiate with them and you see now like him nothing like we always talk about sports on this show. We never talk about sports who in the show but we’re sports fan. We’re we’re men right we all
Watch sports Rob you’re active and the >> Robert Brooks: yeah, yeah. >> John X: Philly sports scene great. You’re one of the best football handicappers that I know. You know Andrew you’re in the South you have no choice but to like football whether you transplant it or not.
>> City Wing King: right >> Andrew Johnson: Was mostly college football down here. >> John X: right >> Andrew Johnson: So but yeah, I get saying. >> John X: yeah, it’s like you get into actionated and they essentially they gave him 10 million dollars more than they
Should have my opinion and part of that was like they was like them saying we’re never gonna pay you sequin no matter what? >> City Wing King: right >> John X: That’s the way I looked at it they were like, you know, well, f*** it If we
Don’t give it to him then we have to give it to the running back. And we don’t really want the running back. They want to do it their way. The Giants are turning into the Buffalo Bills East. And um, you know NFC whatever conference it is the Eastern NFC Conference.
Buffalo Bills and Say Quan deserve better, and I’m happy for the brother honestly, but when I’m saying is though, I’ve been like arguing for him. He actually liked three in my post on Facebook. >> City Wing King: Oh nice. >> Andrew Johnson: cool >> John X: Yeah, yeah.
>> Andrew Johnson: oh, >> John X: so >> Robert Brooks: What is your pump say? >> John X: well the last post that he like was about they were rumors yesterday about Houston wanting to go for another player or Philly. Wanted to go for another player
And I was like look I was like they really I think it was really going for a different player. I was like listen they can say what they want to say. But taquan is the guy that they want. They’re just trying to you know use it for leverage.
They wanted saquan Berkeley and why wouldn’t he went sequin? >> City Wing King: Absolutely. >> John X: I mean you can essentially run like you’ve got to you’ve got to Wishbone quarterback in f****** Jalen hurts. Now you can run that you can run the option with those receivers and basically you’ve
Got you got those great wide receivers, you know, even even when Hertz can’t miss them. They’ll be that open. You know, so I think it’s a smart move for them. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah, yeah, you know what? say this, you know the Eagles. That was where
They were week last year. He’s gonna provide a lot of diversity to their offense. They were predictable. >> John X: Yeah. >> Andrew Johnson: on offense last year and so he’s gonna help them out and you know with Jones. I think he got that money because the man and
Brothers, you know, they they vouch for him when he first came to the team. and I I strongly I strongly believe they had a lot of say. on him getting getting that money because only because of the fact that he you know, they they’ve handpicked them. Essentially if you remember back
When we first came in the league. >> John X: Yeah, yeah, but Rob, how do you build the football team? >> Robert Brooks: How do you build a football team? >> John X: Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: You get a ground game you get a
Quarterback. You got to be able to pound the ball. You gotta be able to control the the clock. Yep. >> John X: And be able to control the line of scrimmage, right? >> City Wing King: It’s not out. Yeah. >> John X: Inside out, you know,
And that’s why it’s just amazes me online when you go online and you talk to all these like these new fans the NFL’s done a great job marketing. >> City Wing King: Oh hell yeah. >> John X: That’s really what it comes down here. They’ve done a great job marketing so much
Show that they’ve got people convinced that the running back is the least important position on the field when most of the times it’s still the most important if the Giants still had sequan Barkley the average chance the reason why it makes them the Eagles are better team
Is like these guys all these guys are running these two back, you know offenses rob. You were a college football player You played running back, you know one guy can’t pounds the ball the other guy hopefully can catch the ball out >> Robert Brooks: Yeah, >> John X: of the backfield,
Right? >> Robert Brooks: and he got it. You got the double bonus if it’s the same guy. >> John X: But you know, which if it’s the same guy that means the >> Robert Brooks: Yeah. >> John X: defense can’t adjust to it, right they got their
Guessing. Right put all these teams. They think that it’s better to have two guys at all times, but you’re basically telegraphing what you’re doing. To the defense that doesn’t seem smart to me. They did football coaches get Dumber. >> Robert Brooks: It’s the analytics world man. the analytics world
>> City Wing King: No yet, right. the analytics and the fact the fact that they’re they’re turning it into they’re doing their best they can to turn it into college football. >> John X: Okay. >> City Wing King: So yeah, so so like there is no there is no
Real position anymore. Everybody has to be able to do everything if you’re a receiver you got to be you got to be able to run the ball. You got to be able to catch the ball. You got to be able to block if you’re running back. You got
To be able to catch the ball run the ball and block, you know, I mean like everybody it’s just the parts are interchangeable. So you put your best players on the field and let them and let them touch the ball and hopefully they’ll create some magic for you.
>> John X: Except for up front when you get the Hogs. They got to control the line of scrimmage, right? >> City Wing King: Right, right. >> John X: And you need a decent quarterback. >> City Wing King: Well, that’s where everything starts >> John X: Yeah, and you?
>> City Wing King: that’s where everything starts is at the line of scrimmage. >> John X: Yeah, and you? >> Robert Brooks: are you call them the Hogs That’s I thought that would be for you. But >> Andrew Johnson: but >> John X: No, no, I’m listening. The Redskins have
Been bad for so many years. It’s like why would I you know, are they the Redskins? >> Robert Brooks: the commander >> City Wing King: Yeah, the commander. >> John X: Oh the other commanders they’re still in the league. whatever >> Robert Brooks: But once upon
A time they had the Hogs. >> Andrew Johnson: And back in the 80s. >> John X: yeah, wow, but I mean but listen it, but everybody always all lineman’s were known as Hogs to a certain point You want to give it to your Hogs you
Want to you want to give it to your big guys. you want to push forward, but all these Geniuses. I’m so glad for sequan Barkley right now. Honestly, I’m glad he’s getting away from the New York Giant fans who really didn’t appreciate him. They really don’t appreci. Eat them.
They keep saying that the Giants were trying to build the team around him for the past six years. I mean, I thought that Odell Beckham Jr. Was on a team at one point two. You know didn’t they weren’t there on the same team together? >> Andrew Johnson: for
>> City Wing King: Yep. >> Andrew Johnson: us before season >> John X: So it’s like, you know these people they just yeah, they just say things. you know just to be provocative and it’s all because like you said Robert’s Analytics. There the analytics has taken over the
Common sense where you have to understand in football. You have unicorns. It’s still a game of talent. You know, so if a team has a wide receiver, that’s a great wide receiver. Something can happen at any moment. >> City Wing King: Yeah. >> John X: You’ve got them
Running back like say Quan something can happen at every moment. So the Giants even though they did Well, we’re just basically going back to being planned in my opinion. We’re a plant team. We may win some games. We may not and it’s still depends on who else they
Bring in. I mean, who knows? maybe they’re bringing in a dynamic running back in the draft that nobody knew Terrell >> City Wing King: what it >> John X: Owens got picked in the sixth round, right? >> City Wing King: didn’t they bring in Devil’s Devon Singletary already? Then they
Sign him. >> John X: yeah, well, I’m not even gonna mention him because I wasn’t gonna mention him because of this, right? the big complaint about >> City Wing King: Because he’s watched up. >> John X: well, possibly. Possibly and that’s my whole point like giant fans are like,
You know, they’re clapping pain this guy six million dollars a year. He’s possibly washed up. He’s getting a guarantee and he’s in the same year. He’s the same age as saquan Barkley. So they’re all a sudden they’re calling this guy who’s missed the tenant games himself isn’t running back. back. They’re
Calling him a durable option. I don’t forget to see a durable option. He’s the same except for worse less Talent call it what it is. >> City Wing King: Right, right. >> Andrew Johnson: yes, definitely. >> John X: Call it what it is. We don’t have a quarterback.
What the f*** we’re gonna get our asses beat by Philly twice a year. >> City Wing King: And who who the Giants wide-outs I was trying to remember that early. >> Andrew Johnson: Oh. >> John X: well the joke. The Giants actually have one really good whiteout and Jalen Hyatt.
Who was a rookie >> City Wing King: Jalen hi, that’s right. Yeah. >> John X: it was a rookie this year so really I’ve been I really want them to take a wide receiver because if they took a wide receiver, they would automatically to me they would
Have to Receivers, but the problem is that they still don’t have a quarterback for though in the football. six >> City Wing King: When do they pick in the >> John X: six >> Andrew Johnson: That’s a good >> John X: It’s a good pick but
I think they’re gonna f*** it up though. Somehow I just think they’re gonna f****** up. >> Andrew Johnson: Problem. They always they they would see the thing is with the Barclay situations. You got a situation where he was a dual threat. I mean he could catch out the
Backfield. You could almost there almost like a a Marshall Faulk type, but a better >> John X: Yes. >> Andrew Johnson: better running back just not quite as good as a receiver as f*** was and and how many how many players can you that can run between the tackles? And can
Catch and receive the ball out the backfield. I mean, he’s like >> John X: not many >> Andrew Johnson: I mean, it’s not too many players in the NFL. You know, we go back and hit I mean even an all-time great running backs usually did one thing extremely well, but
They didn’t do too. >> City Wing King: Well, right. >> Andrew Johnson: And in his situation, I think he’s he’s highly skilled as a running back because what was his yard’s total this year running? I didn’t get over a thousand yards. >> City Wing King: Oh, yeah.
>> John X: Now he was close. >> Andrew Johnson: Okay. >> John X: He was 966 with the yards if they would have pushed him in the last game. He probably would have went over a thousand but he didn’t you know, there was no desire for him to
Get hurt on the last play as a giant and >> Andrew Johnson: just >> John X: He also had a total of somewhere around 1200 almost 1300 all purpose yards again. >> City Wing King: all purpose yards >> John X: And every year every
Year he’s like up around 15 16. I mean Philly Philly >> Robert Brooks: They should. >> John X: is gonna dig any eat off that boy, >> Andrew Johnson: yeah, they’re gonna do >> John X: you know, I >> Andrew Johnson: is he’s gonna he’s gonna fit well in there
There offense better than he fits in the Giants office. Most definitely >> John X: what do you think? What are you saying rob? >> City Wing King: Was >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: It is it is a better offense. It’s tragic too
Because I’m happy to hear these people cheer and scream all the time about how good they are. >> John X: Oh, yeah, they’re gonna be good. I mean saquon to me is worth 1600 yards. You know, I almost like he liked my post. I almost asked him to be
On the podcast. I almost want to ask him to be on the podcast like hey buddy, if you like me protecting you all these months against these a****** giant fans. Come and do me a favor and come on my show. He’s the only one I would want to be on
There because you know, listen, I respect the f*** Adam. He kept his head then he kept his nose down the entire time. They really disrespected him from a long period of time. The fans are like talking to worst s*** about him and football is not a f****** non-contact sport. So,
You know, I don’t give a s*** like, you know, listen, I don’t >> Robert Brooks: X >> John X: like the fact you went to Philly. I hate that s***, but you know what man that brother. You it’s not it’s not a non-contact sport. He’s
Only got so many years and I want my brother to win. >> Andrew Johnson: definitely >> John X: It’s that simple. >> Andrew Johnson: you know if >> John X: You know. >> Andrew Johnson: he got he got 1,000 yards on a team with a the
Giants offensive line, isn’t that great? >> John X: terrible >> Andrew Johnson: I mean it did in my opinion there below average. So if he >> John X: they were terrible. >> Andrew Johnson: With that offensive line and essentially no quarterback. I think Philly made out. Like a bandit on this
One. >> John X: See, this is where this is what giant fans will tell you though. They will tell you that. Oh, he’s he didn’t get a thousand yards though. And with Daniel Jones they say well the reason why he’s not so good is because he’s been thrown behind that terrible
Line for his entire career. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> City Wing King: right >> John X: As if saquon Barkley wasn’t running behind that same line his entire career. You know, it’s just say it’s ridiculous. So it’s like and I think it’s really weird. This
Is this kind of tells you that like Merchant Mercury is in retrograde in the world and the entire world is flipped upside down because a player is actually going to Philadelphia to get love from the fans. >> City Wing King: right >> John X: How are how f******
Out is that? >> Robert Brooks: Well, you know, it’s the kind of >> City Wing King: he’s going to >> Robert Brooks: gentler Philadelphia now. >> John X: It’s entirely wet. >> Robert Brooks: But yeah dogs are definitely walking on their hind legs Mercury is in
Retrograde. I hate people who blame Mercury for being in retrograde for all their bad behavior like, but she was crazy before Mercury went into retrograde >> Andrew Johnson: Okay. >> Robert Brooks: he was bit, but she was crazy before you could spell mercury. >> City Wing King: right
>> John X: This is true Some of them still can’t spell it. and you are Curry >> Robert Brooks: Curry >> Andrew Johnson: me >> John X: Mercury Mercury anyway, so we’re gonna get away from sports for a minute guys. Oh popular culture. It is all
The rage. It’s everything that is in this world today. So we had to Oscars this week. used to be a very artistic place and now everyone’s up in arms because Barbie didn’t get certain stuff and you know Barbie. >> City Wing King: stop it. >> John X: We’re talking about
Barbie and the Oscars, bro. >> Robert Brooks: yeah, but I understand that Barbie was really well done movie. I did not see it, but I’ve heard really good things about it. I’ve heard it was really well done and it was you know a big heaping scoop of a feminist
Empowerment. So, you know. >> John X: Was it? >> Robert Brooks: I’m for it. Like I don’t I don’t have a problem with Barbie just because it was a Barbie movie like if it’s well done. >> John X: yeah, what I’m saying is that aren’t the Oscars and
You know Motion Pictures have gone the way of everything else in the society, which is to the highest bidder. That’s my point. >> Robert Brooks: well, I mean, you know it there’s a lot of the Marvel Universe. There’s way too many way too many numbers entitles. you know that
Indicate a sequel there’s way too many, you know convoluted story lines. you know that guys from that universe that guys from this universe. It’s all part of but at the same time there’s still a lot of really good films. I went last week and saw origin. an American fiction and they were both
Fantastic. >> City Wing King: American fiction is a whip boy. Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: American fiction is you know as good as Jeffrey Wright is every time Sterling K Brown comes on >> City Wing King: Yes, sir. >> Robert Brooks: the screen that m*********** lights it up.
>> City Wing King: that’s that >> Robert Brooks: Like he makes the screen >> City Wing King: yeah. That’s Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: Like his character was just You know, but he’s playing a person try. who’s this who thinks he is possibly discovered himself, but
Still seems to be in turmoil. >> Andrew Johnson: Mmm Yeah >> John X: Well, I think don’t you think it’s interesting that it’s really hard to make good movies today because anything that’s character Biven driven or character Beast that has truth that shows the ugliness of
People is kind of suppressed. >> Robert Brooks: Well, I mean, it’s a it’s a for-profit industry. Everybody goes for what everybody goes what they hope will be the quickest easiest buck. character driven stories are tough to put together. You gotta have you know, you really need more than
Just great special effects and s*** blowing up. You need actors to deliver you need directors who can cut the thing who can put the piece the thing together. I mean, it’s hard to do good character, but there yet at the same time the last couple years. They’ve been some
Movies that are did you ever see everything everywhere all at once? like >> John X: Yes. >> Robert Brooks: that thing was ridiculous. It was wonderful. >> John X: right >> Robert Brooks: and so hard to pull off like I read a story the other day about Jamie Lee
Curtis, like, you know, she was in that movie and she didn’t quite understand it. And when she finally saw the the cut of it. Like she broke down in tears. You know she broke >> John X: So who would have who would have producers of that movie per se, you know?
>> Robert Brooks: Not sure >> John X: All right. I’m imagining that it came from a group of filmmakers. You know much like Woody Allen used to have a team that would crank out his movies in between him diddling his kids. So did I say something wrong?
>> City Wing King: Here. no sir. Not >> Robert Brooks: well and all the all depends on who you ask state of Connecticut said he didn’t do it. His ex-wife says he did it. >> John X: I’m gonna ask Puff. >> Robert Brooks: well
>> John X: What if I ask puff, what’s he gonna say? >> Robert Brooks: You know Puff. Puffs gonna deny deny deny Because he’s hoping nobody’s gonna >> John X: right, >> Robert Brooks: ask that question about yeah somebody that question about him.
>> John X: all right, so like so we’re gonna just talk about the artist right? right? We’re gonna separate separate the diddling. from the actual art, but what they were doing is they were making movies that made you feel something movies that were not that were provocative. Sometimes they weren’t always popular. You
Know now when you’re in production of a movie in something isn’t popular how if you if you’re making a movie about a Bolivian and you choose a Peruvian actor You know for the role you you’re gonna face backlash. you know, but acting is supposed to be about coming
Outside of the box. How are we supposed to show people it seems to me like they’re trying to suppress actual things actual life. How many movies do we have like that movie that you’re talking about? I’m sure that part of the reason why you really like the movies is it’s
Is it’s because it’s about >> Robert Brooks: It’s about real people and they’re >> City Wing King: right >> Robert Brooks: going through real things and it’s you can see you can see those could be your people. >> John X: It right. >> Robert Brooks: Those could be
A people and >> City Wing King: right >> Robert Brooks: and you know, and I’ll just you know, let me give a shout out to to girls high Zone Eric Alexander. formerly of Living Single >> City Wing King: Yes, sir. Came out the woodwork.
>> Robert Brooks: came out the woodwork to to drop a little gem on the people. >> John X: Okay. >> City Wing King: Mm-hmm. >> Robert Brooks: still a pretty young >> Andrew Johnson: definitely >> John X: Okay. well >> City Wing King: still
>> Robert Brooks: Yeah. >> John X: so so basically that movie gets you what’s the name of the movie game? >> Robert Brooks: American fiction >> City Wing King: American fiction >> John X: American fiction that gets the Robert Brooks popcorn popcorn in the Box
Obviously junk in the box, but he’s got you get four junk in the boxes for that movie. That’s what we’ll call them. >> Robert Brooks: really, you know, I’m not a big junk in the trunk fan. >> John X: About junk it junk in
A popcorn box. That’s what I’m saying. >> Robert Brooks: for it >> John X: You get four hands in the popcorn box with the gym. That’s right. That’s good. >> Robert Brooks: You know >> John X: Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: and that movie
Is that movie is legit. It’s a great story. >> City Wing King: it’s a real >> Robert Brooks: I highly recommend it, but then I went to see origin which was a very different type of movie but still You know and that was held by assisted by David
Duvernay. And she took a book that’s ridiculous would be ridiculously hard to make a movie out of it and found a way to explore it. You know, she took the book cast. which is about you know, sort of connecting the caste system in India. Um, you know, what’s
Going on here in America? And what happened in Nazi, Germany? And showing how it’s all part of the same system. >> John X: sharing the parallels >> Robert Brooks: And it take a book like that and find a way to approach it and bring that material to life in such a
Beautiful way is it’s amazing. >> John X: Well, that’s an interesting concept, You know, I like to explore that a little bit more because it seems to me as if all things are well, everything is separate. Everything is the scene. >> Robert Brooks: Well, she had
She had to go on >> John X: Um, I was listening, >> Robert Brooks: non-traditional route to get the movie made. Yeah >> John X: I really have how >> Robert Brooks: what she she actually went like to some foundations. >> John X: Mm-hmm. >> Robert Brooks: She went got
Some charity money. You know, the Ford Foundation was one of the producers Laureen Powell jobs and Melinda Gates Are >> John X: I’m sure that’s a story a lot of people don’t want told. I’m sure it’s a story a lot of people don’t want told when you talk about
You’re talking about the the systems and of the world period >> Robert Brooks: Please talk about the systems of the world. But also, you know how some of those systems transcend race. >> John X: okay. >> City Wing King: right >> Robert Brooks: is the biggest
Is sort of the when you look at how it? You know because India is all brown people. You know the caste system India has been around far longer than colonialism. You know, they needed somebody to do the dirty work and they graphically show you. >> John X: Okay.
>> Robert Brooks: what the Dirty Work is in India in the movie. They needed somebody to do the Dirty Work. And so they created a system. Whereby you had these people who were born into this place where they were gonna handle it. There was no way out
Of it for them. but then you look at you know you take that then you go look at Germany and what they were illustrating with Nazi Germany is that basically the Nazis used the laws from the American South? to place the Jews at a disadvantaged position
>> John X: Okay. >> Robert Brooks: you know the American the lawmakers in the American South had done such a great job of making the black person by law. less than and unequal to that the Germans saw it as the perfect script to help get the Jews under control.
>> John X: And I fast forward. >> Robert Brooks: But but in that system you’re talking about all white people. >> John X: right >> Robert Brooks: Like that’s right on white crime. Yeah. >> John X: and it really is white and white crime. And so
You take the Jews out of that area in now they’re in Israel. They’re in their own place now >> Robert Brooks: yeah, well, hopefully they’re sharing the place. There’s a two-state solution. >> John X: That’s not gonna happen. >> Robert Brooks: But yeah, that’s not what they’re trying for.
>> John X: That’s never been a plan. I think we said that the first time. >> Robert Brooks: Okay that it’s never been the plan but it’s the only thing that if they want to if they want long-term peace, it’s the only thing that works because if they eliminate
The Palestinians the Muslims will never forgive them. They will have they’re gonna have permanent enemies anyway. but if you eliminate the Palestinians >> John X: but >> Robert Brooks: It’s just >> John X: but they only United States of America. so they have us no matter what the
People say about that war. No matter what the people say about what they want to happen in the region how they want American dollars spent how they would like American assets to be The answer is no. we don’t have a voice in that we don’t have a dog in that fight as the
American people. We don’t own anything. We don’t have a right to say anything. And that’s where that’s where that situation is. And you look at the irony like all these things like you would just saying how it how proteins the race I was thinking just the other day and
Bringing it back to sports how it pertains to sports with the nets. For example in the NBA. This is a team. That’s all. It’s my favorite basketball team, but I have a problem with them. You know because I think that the way that they’re run is kind of in a very socialist
Way where it comes to they got rid of like people weren’t saying it but they were like, oh, well this guy spent but he got rid of all the high-paying stories all the guys that make the most money and there’s a mid-manager who just does everything that the owner tells
Him him to do. in place there’s no there’s really there’s no room for creativity in that space. You know. >> Robert Brooks: But as an as somebody who’s invested, you know with a hundred and seventy five million dollars in a basketball team. If you decide
That you want to be a meddling owner you get to be a meddling owner. >> John X: Well, I don’t think he’s really >> City Wing King: here, right >> John X: meddling there. He’s not really mentally at this point. >> Robert Brooks: if he’s if
We’ve dumped all the high salaries. Like his fingerprint. You just said like you have a middling manager who’s just running the instructions of the corporation. That means you have a medley it means you have a meddling owner. >> John X: mmm >> City Wing King: Which means
You don’t have a winning Squad? >> Robert Brooks: and you don’t >> John X: right >> City Wing King: Because some these people made billions of dollars, but they didn’t make it from being GMS and understanding. How how Sports work? >> John X: well
>> City Wing King: same thing in Jones >> Robert Brooks: and at the same time that the league is the league is diminishing in a way, you know the AAU. The Au system is running American basketball. >> Andrew Johnson: Yes. >> Robert Brooks: At college level.
>> City Wing King: mmm >> Robert Brooks: It’s done deep damage and pros now. >> City Wing King: Yep. >> Robert Brooks: And so there’s a lot to understand about the way this game is evolving right now. It’s why you got all these European dudes coming in and
Whooping ass now. >> City Wing King: Yeah, yeah. >> Robert Brooks: Because they use system. Does not teach fundamentals. teachers star systems >> City Wing King: right it right it teaches how to get on ESPN on SportsCenter. >> Robert Brooks: Yeah. >> John X: Let you so what
You’re saying, right? there was on every level all of these things have been broken down to the star the person that’s going to generate the most money at some point whether it started at the AAA you system level where you used to have people were handlers in the
Neighborhood for each kid that was showing his talent and now going up to the top levels where the manager is someone that actually has only highly successful company. That’s the Amazon of China. as running the company the corporation in that way and like you guys said that
That’s not a way to build a winning team. Now the reason why I mention this is that you know owner of the Nets is really just like a toy thing but as like the head of Alibaba. He affects all types of people. He’s affecting people in the United States of America and
People in China and his in that country as well and we know that from the top down. It doesn’t work for the people on the bottom. Why aren’t the people on the bottom? More up in arms about what’s going on about them. Is it that these people at the top then such a
Good job that they can’t see any way to actually communicate to be heard like the AAU star. on that level like that’s the lowest level but what about the kid on the team that might score a 10 points a game? And you know could grow into something in collectively with
The other guys is actually what helps that when AAU guy rise to the top. It’s like kind of like sports is a microcosm of the world. And it’s a microcosm of our social systems. Do you see the parallel? I’m trying to make here. >> City Wing King: I can see
That. I can see where you going. I think. the I think the problem the problem to me, is that when you when you one of the people that is quote unquote on the bottom. It just seems so insurmountable. that you know, you just kind of give up and this and this is across
The board. This is not just this is not just basketball. Like if if you’ve been told that you not gonna be a NBA player. You know, you probably not gonna be that. You know because we you know, we we hear these things and as much as we don’t
Want to want to internalize them we do and on some level we manifest that. >> John X: You stop believing it. They call it spelling. >> City Wing King: Yeah. >> John X: they call it spelling, you know when you speak things that are negative >> Robert Brooks: Yeah.
>> John X: energy towards yourself. You never you never supposed to say these things that loud because what it does is it actually affects you as an individual. >> Robert Brooks: put that vibration puts that vibration out into the universe. >> City Wing King: right
>> John X: Right that negative vibration and >> Robert Brooks: But I mean when you talk about the >> John X: that’s what people >> Robert Brooks: people at the bottom of the Au system you’re talking about kids. Like and they’re getting younger and younger every year. If you’re
An eight if you’re if >> John X: Hmm and you know just one second. >> Robert Brooks: you’re >> John X: Let’s eat it. >> Robert Brooks: Yeah. >> John X: I want you to continue that because I right exactly what you’re saying 10
Year old kid. If someone gives they were giving up on 10 year old kids. You’re not even developed yet, but go ahead finish it. >> Robert Brooks: Yeah, like if you’re a 10 year old kid and you’re the last man on the bench. You know, what you gonna
Do? What are you gonna do? >> City Wing King: right >> Robert Brooks: What’s the power structure You’re Gonna Go Play at another team. you know part of the problem part of the what, you know, the continuation of that, you know, and they get to college now with the
Transport portal in the nil. These kids get there. They don’t play they don’t get the minutes. They think you can’t sit a kid now you can’t bring a kid and say hey look I’m gonna sit your freshman year >> City Wing King: right >> Robert Brooks: because I
Think you have development that kids go on someplace else. >> City Wing King: Mm-hmm. >> John X: What about something? >> Robert Brooks: And if he goes out of the place and sits guess what he’s going someplace after that. >> John X: No, I can I get I get
All this in the sports thing. I you know, what I’m talking about >> Robert Brooks: Hmm But if you’re but if you’re >> John X: is like >> Robert Brooks: but if you’re about to say or the Bottom Rung and civilization you just want to eat. Right.
>> John X: right >> Robert Brooks: You’re just trying to eat and you don’t feel like you have the skills that you can just pick up. Hey, look, this guy’s this guy’s abusing me, but he’s paying me. What else am I going to do?
Where else am I gonna go to eat? So >> John X: Andrew you have any thoughts on this? >> Andrew Johnson: it’s funny you even talk about this because the in they wanted my son, you know play on this one AAU team and I just I first I
Didn’t think he was ready, but I didn’t want him to be it was more like he was gonna be in that situation where he’s sort of benchwriting. You know because of the way the whole structure set up and you know, what’s really messed up about them is that they stack these
Teams. >> Robert Brooks: Oh, yeah. >> Andrew Johnson: You know, it’s like to the point where you know, I’ve seen one team at two kids. There’s 14 15 years old like six foot nine. They put him on the same team. >> John X: Yeah.
>> Andrew Johnson: You know and the tallest players or that they’re going up against was about six three. >> City Wing King: mmm >> Andrew Johnson: and so it’s just like it’s just and and it’s you know now this there’s sneaker contracts that. the tea the coaches and stuff getting
This is >> Robert Brooks: Yeah. >> Andrew Johnson: it’s turning and and Robert you’re right, you know, this is why Europeans are coming into the league and are essentially a third of the league now. It’s because they’re they’re doing all the fundamentals and the drills and everything. But the league are
In the NBA to offense the reason why you seeing these hundred and forty hundred and fifty point games because they don’t really play any defense and since >> City Wing King: right >> Andrew Johnson: they saw all these Europeans coming over here and they don’t play
Defense. They had to make the game. Fit their style of play. So now you’re seeing 150 to 135 You know, you got players average and triple doubles now you couldn’t do that in the 80s or 90s and it’s because we’re not doing what we need to be doing on that fundamental level
At a younger age. So >> Robert Brooks: Now we we play we play we place these games a week. >> John X: so so >> Robert Brooks: We have one practice in six games a week. Instead of when we were kids >> John X: Right.
>> Robert Brooks: you practice >> John X: Well, so >> Andrew Johnson: yes. >> John X: yeah, so so on another level it’s easy peasy if you are that talent, but for everyone else it’s unattainable. This is kind of like going back to what that to what the caste
System is in India. For those people that are born in that s***. It’s unattainable. But for everyone else that’s born in a higher cast. It’s somewhat easy peasy. There’s different expectations for each person. The thing that you used to make the United States of America different is that we didn’t
Stop we didn’t used to put our kids six foot nine on the same team. We would have them hating each other so that way they were going compete with each other. And everything it’s not about what we can do together. So now those kids they’re six foot nine and they’re in the
Same starting team, but they never have to they never practice against anyone else. That’s six foot nine. So when they face someone that does They’re at a loss. They’re going to lose. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> John X: because they’re not prepared because we are
Elevating them, but we’re not preparing them and this is the way it is all around the Society of where we live and to go back to like kind of what it says. You see. I’m trying to I’m trying to keep it >> Robert Brooks: Well, I mean you can see it.
>> John X: at a sports completely guys because there’s a deeper message here. >> Andrew Johnson: Yes. >> Robert Brooks: And you can see it in. Well, I mean a lot of it comes back to at all everything comes back to finance at some point.
>> City Wing King: right >> Robert Brooks: But if you take the other side of my you know, my professional career. you watch television news used to be to get to a top 10 Market you were in your early to mid 30s before you got to a top 10
Market you’ve been doing it 10 12 13 years, you know you make a jump here jump there jump there and then finally you get to the point where you’re ready for the top 10 now. You see 26 year olds being hired in top 10 markets, and they’re clearly
Not ready, but The salary that a 26 year old can command is so much less than that person. Who’s got 12 15 years of experience. that it’s more beneficial for the station. Like they’ll grow into it or they won’t but the budget is right.
>> John X: So the quality is going to suffer is >> Robert Brooks: the quality has suffered >> John X: what you’re saying. all around all around. >> City Wing King: but >> Robert Brooks: all around >> John X: That’s everywhere. >> City Wing King: that but that right.
>> Robert Brooks: but you know, they’re all these monetary You know an au coochie’s trying to >> City Wing King: But that’s everything. >> Robert Brooks: get his contract. He’s trying to get his sneaker money and and build a side hustle so he doesn’t have to work, you know back
When we were kids. You know, they those coaches were all volunteers and they all did something else with their cops or whatever. >> John X: Mm-hmm. >> Robert Brooks: You know some of these guys are professionally you coaches now. >> Andrew Johnson: No.
>> John X: Yeah. Yeah. >> City Wing King: Yeah what money kind of bastardizes everything though? So and once once you make it and this this is one of the bigger problems with America. Is that in my opinion? Anyway, is that everything? Is about money. >> John X: Yeah.
>> City Wing King: Right it all comes down to the money in the words of Houdini. So if everything is just based on the bottom line, it’s like we talked about just to kind of touch back on Sports. We talked about the difference between what used to be a hood basketball player and
A Suburban basketball player that Gap that Gap was once a wide Gap now Suburban kids because Suburban kids are able to hire the coaches be able to be able to get the individual training that that the kid in the hood probably can’t get so now that that Suburban kid is a
More valuable asset than the other kid. same thing with Europeans Europeans European basketball players, they they play they their professionals at 16. Right same thing the same thing with with hip hop, you know like you used to have people that loved it. Now you have people that just want to
Make money from it. You know same thing with firefight we used to have people that love firefighting that came to Detroit just to get the experience. Now. we have people that just want the money for they want the perks and when the perks of the job become
More more important in a job itself. Not a product becomes f***** up. >> John X: Mm-hmm. >> Andrew Johnson: Dilute it. >> John X: If you’re trying to if you want to curate a fine wine, you know, you’re going to have to wait for longer than a
Year a lot of times for it to mature. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> City Wing King: right >> John X: And that’s where? >> City Wing King: But that’s the thing. Do you have No? Because in America in America, there is no time. right,
>> John X: I think in the world there is no time any longer. >> City Wing King: right >> Robert Brooks: Now some places there are like in Europe. They’re still doing it the right way and a lot of places. >> City Wing King: Yeah, but
Here here you can’t turn your brain off. >> John X: I’m not sure. >> City Wing King: every every everybody’s got their phone with them all the time. >> John X: I’m not even so sure what you said just now Rob is is true either like honestly
About the mature reading Minds in Europe, either. >> Robert Brooks: some places >> John X: They’re not they’re not actually people. Listen, the places are always the same. It’s like, you know, like we’ve discussed in the show like, you know, people will go out and they’ll fund campaigns about
People going to college. There’s no reason for you to go to college just no jobs for you and that’s more true than ever, you know, that’s actually more true than ever which is kind of sad when the first started it might not have been true. But right now it’s definitely more
True than Heather ever because a lot of times in order to get employed in certain places and in certain industries, you really have to know someone Because everything is completed. Everything is Squeezed down the numbers are less You’ve got automation that are that have been knocking people’s jobs out
For a very long time. So there is still a need for these people. So the question becomes as a society. Do you even waste your time educating all of these people that don’t really you don’t have a purpose for them? You don’t have a reason for them to compete. You don’t
It’s only to your detriment for them and your future Generations detriment for them to compete. I think that >> City Wing King: yeah, >> John X: God >> City Wing King: you’re not you’re not educating them though. That’s the thing what you’re doing is programming. >> Robert Brooks: Yes.
>> City Wing King: this the educational system is not a system to teach you how to think and it’s >> John X: okay, okay. >> City Wing King: not it’s not designed to teach you how to learn and think is he is is designed to teach you how to
>> John X: All right. >> City Wing King: remember certain things so that you can pass the test. >> Robert Brooks: and and to pay attention >> John X: Okay, I’m gonna I want to see those points like right away, but What do you
Need to be? What do you need to be indoctrinating into right now? Is the point that’s the point that I’m making what is it? >> City Wing King: Right, >> John X: Actually? What is the education actually training you to do right now it’s training you to basically be passive.
>> City Wing King: well, but >> John X: Because and to accept things that the way they are if you’re not special >> City Wing King: right >> John X: by the time you’re 10 years old, you’re not on that AAU team at 10, you know the
Chances that you’re ever gonna develop. They the system has already decided the algorithm is already decided that you know, 50 50. Let’s just say who’s the top player the top of 50 Victor when Beyond us that, you know, we’re coming down the pike are worth more than when Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman
Today would never see the inside of an MBA Court. He’d never see the end of he never seen. He never see the prose. He was 20 years old and like five foot eight. >> City Wing King: Mm-hmm. >> John X: He grew to be about
Six foot eight and he was a rookie yet what 24 years old or 26 in the NBA that you was 24? >> City Wing King: Yeah, I can’t I can’t recall. >> John X: Somewhere around there. >> City Wing King: He was an old Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: He is not
Traditional. >> John X: but >> Andrew Johnson: He was a walk on college player. >> John X: he was a walk on college player after having a growth spurt because he was an average size person. >> Robert Brooks: Yeah. >> John X: Now these are the
Gems that we’re missing out on in society because they’ve already done the numbers. And you know Dennis Rodman was he’s a freaky guy. He’s crazy. He’s interesting. He’s funny and everything, but he’s a wild card. He’s one that slipped through the cracks. He’s hanging out with Kim Jong-un.
>> City Wing King: All right. >> John X: He’s able to go there and come back and be safe. Because he is an outlier. But the system is crushing all the outliers there. >> Andrew Johnson: get >> John X: And the way it’s
Being done they show it to you in sports it all it’s all laid out for you. So what? >> Andrew Johnson: yeah, you know the day of the the day of the the specialized player like a Dennis Rodman who knows probably one of the most athletic players that the
Athleticism to play in the NBA, but he was a specialist in a sense of a specialist rebound and maybe Defender those players. Are no longer. There’s not a market form in today’s NBA. >> City Wing King: right >> John X: I disagree, you know, I
>> Andrew Johnson: I know I’m saying in the weight of the >> John X: disagree. You know why I’m gonna give you no, but I’m gonna give you the perfect example of why I disagree with that the player that actually blows that out the water Draymond Green.
>> Andrew Johnson: To an extent, but but >> John X: He’s essentially. >> Andrew Johnson: he can play both offense and defense like Robin >> City Wing King: Yeah. >> John X: Really? >> Andrew Johnson: was a one-dimensional player. He could only play defense.
>> John X: Okay. No, I mean but can he can can train on really actually play offense. like really honestly >> Andrew Johnson: Well, he’s he’s their point guard Essentially. I mean if you watch >> John X: Well this right. >> City Wing King: He’s
>> Andrew Johnson: way to Golden State plays. >> John X: Dennis Rodman used to he used to play in a post a lot like guys likes a bonus does now when and feed and feed guys and pass the ball. He didn’t lose the basketball despite all the things that he did turnovers
Wasn’t a part of his game and if he were coming up this time, he probably learned how to play I can make an argument that he would be just as valuable to some teams because Golden State doesn’t win with all those Shooters without dream on green. >> Andrew Johnson: I agree with
That. >> John X: doing all the dirty work and doing it at a high level. So these are the high level artists that were actually requesting this and AI is going to replace it for you, you know, neither creative guy to come up with the idea AI is
Going to come up with the idea for you. But what does it do for those people that were supposed to be something and be somebody? All of those all of those late bloomers here now, all of the outliers are just blown out of the water in this new society that we’re living
In and I’m telling you I thought about it today. This is the only thing I thought about today. I was listening to I talked to Rob the Robert was telling you about all >> Robert Brooks: Yeah. >> John X: the stuff they had found on tiktok. All right, so
I’m going I’m looking for tickets. I’m looking on tiktok to find some of those things to send you the vids and I’m listening to a couple of lives of these people and they’re talking about the normal stuff. Trump is Trump good for that who’s gonna win Trump or bite
In some of them are about what’s going on in Israel. You’ve got the pro Palestinian, you know panels. the pro is really panels. You’ve got the feminist panels. You’ve got all these different you’ve got these liberal like political points. You’ve got all these people every day. Every day everyone here throwing these
Different points of view out and having these panels with five six ten people and they’ll have anywhere from like 150 people to three four thousand people in a room at a time listening to a conversation. I’m listening to them and I’m like wow, this is where that
Energy is going to. They would normally be Regional someplace doing something interesting involved in their communities something somewhere along those lines, but most of the time they were on tiktok broadcasting from 8am until 12 o’clock at May Andrew you and I met on one of these abs wisdom
>> Robert Brooks: what is it now? >> Andrew Johnson: I don’t know they changed the name to something. new >> John X: It’s like new. >> Andrew Johnson: something. I don’t know. >> John X: New I think it’s noon was noon was like that piece and serenity company.
>> City Wing King: I thought >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> John X: And I think that I think they like sold out and you know, I was thinking about getting back going going with him, but I’m like, you know, they me. Because it’s like most
Of my most of my conversations are they’re real and they’re they will kind of stress you out when I come to that point and I make a point so they’re not really looking for us. That’s why they just like they just muffle their mics. And just decided to go in a
Different direction. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> John X: So it’s really like the death of to me. It’s the death of that app. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> John X: It’s not they’re not it started out as something really good where people can come and express themselves and
No matter what the point of view was. You can have these conversations and now it’s basically rob you would like it. They probably have like yoga stuff on there. You know. >> Robert Brooks: Namaste my brother >> John X: Namaste my brother, you know and it’s not
>> City Wing King: yeah, that’s a >> John X: Good. >> City Wing King: that sounds a lot. That sounds a lot like everything else in America. It started out it started out one way. Got popular. And then it >> Robert Brooks: got co-opted. Oh, yeah. >> John X: Yeah co-opted.
>> City Wing King: went another way. Yep. Got >> John X: well Well, I’m very listening. I’m sorry Grant the catch you off. >> City Wing King: no you good. >> John X: I’m just I’m just very aware of what you just said. Right now because I’m
Looking at all the stuff that’s going on and even my trying to find topics for this show. Everything is really like dulled which kind of tells me that things are going exactly the way that the people who are in charge wanted to go. And that’s when I get nervous personally.
Because we’ve got the normal fights between trumpers and biting Knights and everyone in between people trying to >> Robert Brooks: And ain’t that the dumbest fight on >> John X: figure out >> Robert Brooks: the planet. like >> John X: numbers f****** fight on the planet
>> Robert Brooks: like I I fell into the end of the rabbit hole today and watch some of the The Senate coverage they were they’re talking to the special prosecutor. Who did the the Biden thing. >> City Wing King: Nope. >> Robert Brooks: literally like all the Republicans all
Their questions and everything was just trying to lead this guy to say that Biden’s two senile. He’s too old. He’s incapable of leading this country and like literally if you’re going to make that argument, then you have to say that your guy is you have to
Disqualify your guy as well. >> City Wing King: right >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: Like you can’t say that this guy’s not capable and say your guy is when he’s like Grunt and making sounds when he can’t when his brain glitches and he can’t read the
Teleprompter. like >> John X: dude, I mean I read an article this week about the fact that Trump is actually incontinent. Did you know that? >> Robert Brooks: for years >> John X: you he’ll just what he’s just walking there on the street just like letting f****** turds writ.
>> Robert Brooks: Oh, yeah. >> John X: Everything and just like, you know shaking, you know shaking it people’s >> Robert Brooks: Well, you don’t >> John X: hands and he’s in the dirty >> Robert Brooks: shake hands. He’s he’s germaphobe. You don’t like to shake people’s hands.
>> John X: Yeah should be a germaphobe. He’s got all that f****** he’s got s***** diapers. You know, like what the f***? >> Robert Brooks: but in a country with this many people with with academic degrees like these are the best two people we could find to run for f******
>> John X: I’m trying to tell you. >> Robert Brooks: president and the answer is no it’s not the two best people we can find >> City Wing King: Right, it’s not right. >> Robert Brooks: one for president. >> John X: And they went and they would.
>> Robert Brooks: But we’re getting exactly what we what they want. >> John X: And they want me to waste my time talking about it. See and that’s what I’m saying. Like I was on tiktok and all these people were deeply involved in these conversations about this s*** and I’m just
Like Whoo? these These are the these are the people that they’re arguing for. Nobody’s making a move because everybody is comfortable with their position of power. And where there where they’re interests may lay and at the end of the day none of these people. are going to make any of the
Difference because they’re just basically being led by the nose. Just like the way that I guess the biggest test was really when Hillary was running and James Comey in the FBI came out and he made that report. Right before the election. >> Robert Brooks: the the server >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah.
>> John X: I hear whatever it was. >> Robert Brooks: now the emails the email server. >> John X: Yeah, they just know that there’s that there’s something that they can throw out there that can move people either in One Direction or the other direction. and all of the
Rest of the stuff is just really about keeping us busy. It’s all busy work. So busy work. But why? you know if >> Andrew Johnson: But you know what John, you know what I say this really quick. You remember to the Asian do that ran? in 2020
>> John X: yeah. >> Andrew Johnson: He made it made an interesting point, but he was kind of ahead of his time when he was just saying, you know, there’s gonna be a portion of the population. That’s just gonna be getting in people’s way. And why don’t you
Just cut them a check and just tell them to go sit down because the countries essentially gonna be ran by about one to maybe 40% of the people. And so his argument was if you give them a little bit of money to survive off of
They’ll stay out of the way. And we can run this thing. Is it? >> John X: That’s essentially what they do >> City Wing King: hmm >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah, yeah. >> Robert Brooks: well, >> John X: Anyway, go ahead >> Robert Brooks: that’s that’s
What they were doing. And then Reagan started cutting off the money. >> Andrew Johnson: Right, right, right. >> Robert Brooks: You know way back in the Reagan days, they started cutting what they call entitlements. You know, they started select they started slashing money for those things and leaving people to their own
Devices. like >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah, and that’s and that led to the crime the crack epidemic and everything else to follow. >> Robert Brooks: Well, they they had some Wars that they needed to fund. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> Robert Brooks: That’s why we
Got crack. They had some s*** that they couldn’t get the treasury to pay for. >> Andrew Johnson: Yeah. >> John X: Grant you were going to say something. >> City Wing King: no, just listen up, but I’m just like The thing that I find amazing,
Is that in this country that doesn’t produce anything. We’re not producing anything. You know like we we’re not producing anything in terms of goods. But we’re not really producing anything in terms of people either. >> John X: Now we’re we’re completely devoid. the you know, the thing that America
Used to bring to the world was excitement interesting people. You know, and now we suppress anyone who’s different. immediately >> City Wing King: Right. Mm-hmm. >> John X: so with that suppression comes basically we’re suppressing when you suppress one you suppress all. >> City Wing King: Yeah, you
Can. >> John X: And that’s essentially what’s happening. So we don’t have the great far right Minds. We don’t have the great for our left minds and everything in between. people are just not allowed to be themselves. And it’s crushing. And I guess that’s the reason why they took wisdom and they
Turned it into noon. >> Robert Brooks: the Numa is it like that? Is that like noon like >> John X: system >> Robert Brooks: the weight loss app, whatever >> Andrew Johnson: Yes. >> Robert Brooks: the behavioral weight loss app. >> John X: I think so and yeah,
>> Andrew Johnson: It’s yes, it’s it’s some type of Health. It’s a health app. >> Robert Brooks: Okay, so, it’s me. It’s they folded that in because Noom is that you know the behavioral you learn you they new Mass you to figure out your wise instead of just
Relying on Willpower. They ask you to figure out your wise so why is it that true of reading? Why do you do this? Why is why do you eat in these moments? You stress eating you. Do, you know all that stuff? >> John X: Well, we used to
Figure out why is too we used to figure out like you know, why are you such a hoe? Why are you still racist? Why why but now it’s only nutrition >> City Wing King: he >> John X: B. So it’s no fun anymore. Fellas. We’ve been here for an hour.
>> Andrew Johnson: time flies >> City Wing King: Really? Well >> Andrew Johnson: I know, is that like >> City Wing King: It does. >> John X: Listen, man. I appreciate you brothers because even when we have absolutely nothing to talk about I mean the world has stuff to talk
About they can talk They’re talking about Joe Biden They’re talking about his State of the Union last week. They’re talking about the crazy woman after the show. They’re talking about who’s gonna possibly run for X Y or Z. Where the >> Robert Brooks: Well, you know
