Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From New York City, the only city in America.
Speaker 3: It's the show that invenient news.
Speaker 1: This here's the Daily Show with your.
Speaker 2: Host Charlemagne no Gone.
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Daily Show. I go by the name
Speaker 4: of CHARLAMAGNEA god Hella. Now this is my last night
Speaker 4: is guest host. Don't feel sad for me, all right,
Speaker 4: because originally I was only supposed to do four nights,
Speaker 4: but then they brought me back and I lasted eight nights.
Speaker 4: So it's a black hat of a miracle. Right, We've
Speaker 4: got a great show for you tonight. Let's get into
Speaker 4: the headlines. Let's kick things off of the big political news.
Speaker 4: Last night was another debate between all the Republican candidates who.
Speaker 3: Aren't going to win.
Speaker 4: It's like the National Spelling b without the Asian kids. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and we've got all the details in our continuing coverage
Speaker 4: of Democracy twenty twenty four. There was a lot to
Speaker 4: talk about in this debate, starting with Vavik Ramaswami, millionaire
Speaker 4: businessman and the guy who.
Speaker 3: Puts the dick in Valedictorian.
Speaker 4: Over the last few debates, Ramaswami has built up a
Speaker 4: bit of a reputation for being a world class asshole. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and this debate was no different.
Speaker 5: One thing that Joe Biden and Nikki Aley have in
Speaker 5: common is that neither of them could even state, for
Speaker 5: you three provinces in eastern Ukraine that they want to
Speaker 5: send our troops to actually fight for. Look at the
Speaker 5: blank expression. She doesn't know the names of the provinces
Speaker 5: that she wants to actually fight for. The only person
Speaker 5: more fascist than the Biden regime now is Nicki Haley.
Speaker 5: Nikki I don't have a woman problem. You have a
Speaker 5: corruption problem. And I think that that's where people need
Speaker 5: to know. Nicki is corrupt. This is a woman who
Speaker 5: will send your kids to die so she can buy
Speaker 5: a bigger halt stress. Do everybody a favor, Just walk
Speaker 5: yourself off that stage, enjoy a nice meal, and get
Speaker 5: the hell out of this place. Why am I the
Speaker 5: only person on the stage at least who can say
Speaker 5: that January sixth now does look like it was an
Speaker 5: inside job that the government lied to us for twenty
Speaker 5: years about Saudi Araba's involvement in nine to eleven. That
Speaker 5: the Great Replacement theory is not some grand right wing
Speaker 5: conspiracy theory, that the twenty twenty election was indeed stolen
Speaker 5: by big tech. That the twenty sixteen election, the one
Speaker 5: that Trump won for sure, was also one that was
Speaker 5: stolen from him by the national security establishment.
Speaker 3: That actually, I didn't want them to cut him off.
Speaker 3: I want to know where Bigfoot lives.
Speaker 4: All Right, Okay, this dude is up here spewing every
Speaker 4: conspiracy in the book nine to eleven stolen Elections replacement theory.
Speaker 4: He is right about January sixth being an inside job, though,
Speaker 4: I mean, the whole thing was orchestrated by the President.
Speaker 3: You can't get more inside than that, all right.
Speaker 4: And by the way, yeah, and by the way, going
Speaker 4: after Haley for supposedly not knowing three provinces in Ukraine
Speaker 4: just makes Halley seem relatable. None of us know shit
Speaker 4: about Ukraine. We just put that flag in our bio
Speaker 4: and call it a day. And when he told Chris
Speaker 4: Christy to go enjoy a nice meal, that was supposed
Speaker 4: to be a fat joke, right, I mean, I mean
Speaker 4: it was definitely a more subtle fat joke than I
Speaker 4: expect from Vivic. Okay, he's such an asshole.
Speaker 1: I figure.
Speaker 4: He says something like, hey, Chris, if this president. Thing
Speaker 4: doesn't work out, don't worry. I heard they're doing an
Speaker 4: all white reboot of Precious right.
Speaker 3: Are he could just hold it aside? That sense thick?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm just saying, if you want to be the
Speaker 4: new Trump, don't be subtle about it.
Speaker 3: And by the way, say what you want about Chris Christy.
Speaker 4: He was the only person on that stage who knew
Speaker 4: why Donald Trump getting reelected would be a giant problem
Speaker 4: for the country.
Speaker 6: I'm in this race because the truth needs to be spoken.
Speaker 6: He is unfit. This is a guy who just said
Speaker 6: this past week that he wants to use the Department
Speaker 6: of Justice to go after his enemies when he gets
Speaker 6: in there. This is an angry, bitter man who now
Speaker 6: wants to be back as president because he wants to
Speaker 6: exact retribution on anyone who has disagreed with him, anyone
Speaker 6: who has tried to hold him to account for his
Speaker 6: own conduct. Do I think he was kidding when he
Speaker 6: said he was a dictator? All you have to do
Speaker 6: is look at the history. You want to know why
Speaker 6: those pull numbers are where they are, because folks like
Speaker 6: these three guys on the stage make it seem like
Speaker 6: his content is acceptable let me make it clear.
Speaker 3: His conduct is unacceptable.
Speaker 4: He's unfitted that good for Christy, Good for Christie, good
Speaker 4: for him.
Speaker 3: You gotta give him his props. Gotta give him his props, although.
Speaker 4: It does show just how out of touch he is
Speaker 4: with the Republican base. He's like, guys, Donald Trump is
Speaker 4: going to be a dictator, and the whole audience.
Speaker 3: Is like, we know, we can't wait. Okay, And Christy
Speaker 3: is right.
Speaker 4: Other Republicans should be speaking out against Trump's authoritarian aspirations.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: Hearing someone say they want to become a dictator is
Speaker 4: like hearing someone say they want to.
Speaker 3: Start a podcast.
Speaker 4: You should be doing everything you can to stop him. Then,
Speaker 4: of course there's Nikki Haley, who has recently surged in
Speaker 4: the first place among all the candidates who are in
Speaker 4: distant second place. Okay, although based on this debate, I
Speaker 4: guess she doesn't think she needs the youthful.
Speaker 7: We really do need to ban TikTok once and for all.
Speaker 7: And let me tell you why. For every thirty minutes
Speaker 7: someone watches TikTok every day, they become seventeen percent more
Speaker 7: anti Semitic, more pro Hamas.
Speaker 4: Based on doing that, hold up hold up, TikTok makes
Speaker 4: you anti semitic. Elon must be shitting himself right now, like.
Speaker 3: They're muscling in on my turf. For real, man, this.
Speaker 4: Is the weirdest stat I've heard since that one about
Speaker 4: eating eh spiders a year in your sleep.
Speaker 3: How do they know that?
Speaker 4: If someone watching me while I'm sleeping? And if they are,
Speaker 4: why aren't they stopping me from eating all these fighters?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Listen, Nikki, First you hated TikTok because of privacy concerns.
Speaker 4: Now you hate it because of anti semitism. Just admit it.
Speaker 4: You can't figure out how to go viral and you're jealous, okay,
Speaker 4: right now. One topic that didn't come up in the
Speaker 4: debate last night was gun violence, which is a little
Speaker 4: surprising because they were actually two mass shootings just yesterday,
Speaker 4: one in Las Vegas and one in Texas.
Speaker 3: But it's also nights.
Speaker 4: But it's also not surprising they didn't talk about it
Speaker 4: because it's the same thing after every shooting. Republicans want
Speaker 4: to talk about anything except guns.
Speaker 3: Guns aren't the problem. It's people who pick up guns
Speaker 3: and cause the crime. At the end of the day,
Speaker 3: it's the problem is the human heart it's not guns,
Speaker 3: not the weapons.
Speaker 5: Anybody who shoots somebody else has a mental health challenge.
Speaker 3: Period.
Speaker 8: We stop teaching values in so many of our schools.
Speaker 5: We're now we're teaching wokeness, which we're indopting our children.
Speaker 5: Things like CRT, transgender hormone treatments and ideology increase the
Speaker 5: risk of extreme depression, aggression, and even violence.
Speaker 9: All the porn, all the bad stuff that's out there,
Speaker 9: these violent video games that are out there getting in
Speaker 9: the minds virtue.
Speaker 3: Why don't we do something about it?
Speaker 4: Did this dude really say that porn and video games
Speaker 4: turn kids into shooters?
Speaker 3: Those two things keep kids at home if.
Speaker 10: Anything, If anything, we should ban schools.
Speaker 3: That's what the school shootings happen. But this god is
Speaker 3: wondering what would it.
Speaker 4: Take to get a GOP politician to say the word guns.
Speaker 3: Take a look.
Speaker 11: Welcome to the final rounds of one million dollar Republican Pyramid.
Speaker 3: Mary.
Speaker 11: You just have to get this Republican congressman to guess
Speaker 11: one word and you win one million dollars.
Speaker 3: Your time starts now.
Speaker 11: Oh, okay, it's the reason America has so many mass shootings.
Speaker 3: Focus No, why do mass shootings only happen in America.
Speaker 5: Violent video games, I said, only in America, an American day.
Speaker 3: Oh, because we don't see the pledge of allegiance anymore.
Speaker 3: Mass shooting, why do they happen?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Mental health crisis, drag shows, smartphones, a marijuana. Oh, single mothers,
Speaker 3: no married mothers, No, just mothers.
Speaker 1: No, I know him know this.
Speaker 3: They killed thirty thousand people a year.
Speaker 1: Okay, you should have said that. Swimming pools.
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. They have bullets, power points, They have bullets,
Speaker 3: and they're dangerous for school children. Oh, power points about gender. Okay,
Speaker 3: imagine a mass shooting.
Speaker 1: Would just happened.
Speaker 5: Mary, If I may.
Speaker 3: I'd like to offer my thoughts and prayers. We don't
Speaker 3: have time for this. Just say guns. Guns.
Speaker 11: Why didn't you just say guns?
Speaker 3: The answer was guns? Mary. It is too soon to
Speaker 3: politicize this, all right.
Speaker 4: When we come back, I'll tell you who should be
Speaker 4: a next president. So don't you go anywhere. Welcome back
Speaker 4: to the Daily So as you all know where a
Speaker 4: year out from the election, and even though it seems
Speaker 4: like the two nominees are inevitable, there are still some
Speaker 4: potential options out there. No, never you DeSantis, Okay, I'm
Speaker 4: talking about candidates that have main character energy, like.
Speaker 5: This guy after leaving Shark take and agree to sell
Speaker 5: the majority stake in his NBA team.
Speaker 3: Does Mark Cuban want to run for president? The billionaire
Speaker 3: Mark Cuban. He just sold his majority stake in the
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks. Wow, why did he do that?
Speaker 7: My opinion, running for president or at least exploring.
Speaker 3: A run Mark Cuban makes sense.
Speaker 6: He's very famous, he can self fund, and he would
Speaker 6: have sort of the right approach to go mix things
Speaker 6: up in the general election.
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm a huge Mark Cuban fan. He obviously knows
Speaker 3: how to run businesses. I'm a huge fan. I hope
Speaker 3: he does run for president. You know who I like,
Speaker 3: and he's not a politician, Mark Cuban.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, okay, an outsider billionaire with a reality show
Speaker 4: about business. Hmmm, why has no one ever thought of that? Okay,
Speaker 4: I just hope he has a bunch of corrupt kids. Now, Look,
Speaker 4: there are obviously differences between Trump and Mark Cuban. For example,
Speaker 4: Cuban is an actual billionaire, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay.
Speaker 4: He made his money the honest way by inventing the
Speaker 4: Cuban sandwich. Okay, he also owns a basketball team, which
Speaker 4: means he actually wants to hire black people. Okay, but
Speaker 4: this news got me thinking about how thirsty we still
Speaker 4: are for a celebrity in chief, and the concept isn't new.
Speaker 3: Well before Trump, celebrities from Arnoved.
Speaker 4: Schwarzenegger to Ronald Reagan all succeeded in politics, and it
Speaker 4: makes sense. They've got huge name id, they're charismatic, and
Speaker 4: they already lie for a living. Okay, that's like ninety
Speaker 4: percent of the job. The other ten percent is partnering
Speaker 4: turkeys and invading in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: You know, but this year the stakes feel higher.
Speaker 4: Okay, Americans who don't want another president Trump or worried
Speaker 4: that the current president doesn't have the star power to
Speaker 4: beat him, even though Biden is almost a combined age
Speaker 4: of for Jenna Ortegas, now, call me old fashioned, but
Speaker 4: I prefer all politicians come from politics.
Speaker 3: Okay, I know it's weird.
Speaker 4: It's like how I want my surgeons to come from
Speaker 4: medical school and not grades anatomy. But hey, if it
Speaker 4: takes a celebrity to beat Donald Trump, then all right,
Speaker 4: let's play that game.
Speaker 3: But why stop in Mark Cuban.
Speaker 4: There's lots of celebrities out there who would make good presidents.
Speaker 3: For example, how about the Rock.
Speaker 4: Why not, He's got the name recognition. He could literally
Speaker 4: literally carry his country on his back. Okay, and Paul's
Speaker 4: already showed he he's got more support than Biden. I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about his politics or his ideas
Speaker 4: for the country. But on the other hand, he's tall,
Speaker 4: So yeah, run for president Dwing.
Speaker 3: Okay. Oh, here's another option.
Speaker 4: How about Keanu Reeves. That's a great choice, okay, just
Speaker 4: because we can replace the entire military industrial complex with
Speaker 4: John Wick. All Right, you send him to Moscow and
Speaker 4: that war is over by breakfast. Although if his dog
Speaker 4: starts biting Secret Service agents, you don't want to be the.
Speaker 3: Guy who has to take his dog away, all right.
Speaker 4: Now, of course Oprah would be an amazing option, because
Speaker 4: she's an Oprah.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: If you even have to ask why she should be president,
Speaker 4: you'll be the first to be deported, all right. Or
Speaker 4: how about a president who has sat in this very chair? No,
Speaker 4: not me, I love taking bribes too much. What about
Speaker 4: what about John Stewart. He's a voice, folks, trust he
Speaker 4: got a common sense perspective, he's gotten more legislation passed,
Speaker 4: and most members of Congress, plus I asked everybody in
Speaker 4: this building, and not one person has any dirt on him, Okay,
Speaker 4: which means.
Speaker 3: He's really good at hiding his dirt. Right, You ain't
Speaker 3: gonna never find his pe tape. All right. If all
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 4: Saying that we can't have a short Jewish comedian running
Speaker 4: our country, guess what they did it in Ukraine?
Speaker 3: And everything in Ukraine is going great.
Speaker 4: All right, let's move on. What about Matthew McConaughey.
Speaker 3: Okay, no, Matthew mohonay. What about Beyonce? Okay? Okay, all right?
Speaker 4: And sorry, Swifties, it can't be Tailor because she's still
Speaker 4: too young and she was born in Kenya.
Speaker 3: But listen, before we.
Speaker 4: Dive back into bed with a celebrity candidate, we gotta
Speaker 4: be honest about how effective they would really be. Just
Speaker 4: because you know how to run a company, it doesn't
Speaker 4: mean you know how to run a country. Just because
Speaker 4: you can play a politician, it doesn't mean you know
Speaker 4: how to legislate.
Speaker 3: Just because you can stop bullets with your hand. That
Speaker 3: might be helpful, actually, because it would have helped Kennedy.
Speaker 12: I'm I'm not saying celebrities can't become politicians, but maybe
Speaker 12: we don't let them start at president because you can't
Speaker 12: squeeze years of political experience into a training montage.
Speaker 3: And besides, if celebrities.
Speaker 4: Want to run the country, they already have a place
Speaker 4: for that in our society, and that place is the Illuminati.
Speaker 3: Right when we come back, Jelly row will be joining
Speaker 3: me on the show. So don't you go anywhere. Welcome
Speaker 3: back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 4: My guest tonight is a Grammy nominated singer songwriter whose
Speaker 4: latest album is called WITSI Chapel.
Speaker 3: Please welcome Jelly Rod jo I don't come on.
Speaker 2: My god.

Speaker 3: Yes, sir, Yes, sir, man.
Speaker 1: It number one.
Speaker 3: Look at me, jail the show. You know all love
Speaker 3: saved me? Man?
Speaker 4: You released it what three years ago on YouTube? Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: three years ago on YouTube, and you posted a I
Speaker 4: know this is a little different from me, but I'm
Speaker 4: wondering if this should make the album or not.
Speaker 3: Y'all let me know below. Why didn't you believe the
Speaker 3: song should make.
Speaker 1: The ou oh man insecurity?
Speaker 9: That that that that that voice of the negativity that
Speaker 9: gets in all of our ears. Man, that one that
Speaker 9: we fired every day. I'm glad I followed enough to
Speaker 9: put it up.
Speaker 3: Absolutely did save me taking off.
Speaker 4: Change your perspective on the type of music you do
Speaker 4: and how you release it, because it just three years
Speaker 4: ago it came out, but it just went number one
Speaker 4: on the country charts this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, man, I want to show me that sometimes you
Speaker 9: gotta let a song find people. You know, music meets
Speaker 9: us where we are. That's the beauty of a Charlemagne
Speaker 9: is that music is therapeutic. It's there to help and heal.
Speaker 9: It's a constant and a life that doesn't have many
Speaker 9: constants in it. So I'm just glad to see the
Speaker 9: song finally touch people. I love your story too, man.
Speaker 9: Fifteen years ago you were in prison and now you're
Speaker 9: a Grammy nominated musician.
Speaker 3: So I guess my question is not fuckingty so. So
Speaker 3: my question is should everybody go to prison to find success? Exactly?
Speaker 9: They're giving it away free y'all, especially, I promise it's
Speaker 9: real easy to get there in your face. Three hots
Speaker 9: and a cop baby, you got guaranteed bad, three meals
Speaker 9: a day.
Speaker 3: It's all good.
Speaker 1: Actually, it's cool.
Speaker 3: Might see a high school.
Speaker 4: Friend and I love your song sheet too, man, when
Speaker 4: you address the heroin and fentanyl epidemic.
Speaker 3: Yes, why is this song so important too?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 9: Man, I think it's important as an artist for us
Speaker 9: to talk about the things that people are afraid to
Speaker 9: talk about, and that art sometimes is an expression of
Speaker 9: what words are even afraid to say. So I think
Speaker 9: it's a responsibility as a songwriter to write those kind
Speaker 9: of songs. And the fennyl epidemic is sickening. What's happening
Speaker 9: in America right now is absolutely sickening. I think it's
Speaker 9: fourteen p thank you. I think it's thank y'all. So
Speaker 9: I think I heard it statistic that it's fourteen people
Speaker 9: an hour overdose and die in the United States of
Speaker 9: America every hour on the hour, dam twenty four hours
Speaker 9: a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year,
Speaker 9: three sixty six in a leap here. I'm that country,
Speaker 9: and I think if you think about those numbers alone,
Speaker 9: It shows me that you heard people here sharing that
Speaker 9: it is effected every household.
Speaker 1: Every side of the oil.
Speaker 9: Everybody in America has been affected by this somewhere or
Speaker 9: the other, and I think it's time we stand up
Speaker 9: to do something about it.
Speaker 4: Well, what would you tell people who were struggling with
Speaker 4: that addiction?
Speaker 9: I would tell them that there is hope. That My
Speaker 9: biggest message as actually had I had my first viral
Speaker 9: clip Charlet Mane. I don't know if you know, come on,
Speaker 9: I know you did. You helped it go viral, and
Speaker 9: uh it was. I was talking about how it's so
Speaker 9: important for us to recognize that our windshield is bigger
Speaker 9: than our rear view mirror for a reason, because what's
Speaker 9: in front of us is more important than what's behind us.
Speaker 9: That who we were is not who we are, right,
Speaker 9: you know that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know a lot of people may not know,
Speaker 4: but I read Juicy Jay's book, so I know you
Speaker 4: was down with three six.
Speaker 1: My field, Yes, sir day one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they performed this hard out there for a pimp
Speaker 3: at it, Yes.
Speaker 9: Sir Bonnarue, and I actually had the privilege of them
Speaker 9: going on tour with me and doing five shows and
Speaker 9: We did hard out here for a pimp.
Speaker 1: Every night.
Speaker 3: Y'all was a group though, right it was you, a
Speaker 3: little waited.
Speaker 9: Me, Little White, and our guy, our guy BPS from
Speaker 9: Indianapolis who sadly passed away, Rest in peace, BPsy.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, what did you learn from your time with
Speaker 3: three six oh.
Speaker 9: Man Everything, Little White and three six Juicy J and Paul?
Speaker 9: The importance of ownership, the importance of independent music, the
Speaker 9: importance of making the music for your community, and that
Speaker 9: all that matters representing your people in music because they
Speaker 9: didn't care about representing nothing but Memphis, and the fact
Speaker 9: that the sound went worldwide just shows that how much
Speaker 9: the problems are common everywhere.
Speaker 1: So write what you know. Don't write what you think
Speaker 1: you know. Write what you know.
Speaker 9: And they taught me a lot through that, but most
Speaker 9: importantly the independence and ownership.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hip hop has more in common with country music
Speaker 4: than people realize.
Speaker 3: Like, they're both great storytellers.
Speaker 4: They both talk about their vehicles a lot.
Speaker 9: Yeah right, Yeah, they both talk about bitches.
Speaker 3: It is twenty twenty three, say women.
Speaker 8: But no, I meant dogs. Oh may, I brought a
Speaker 8: bunch of songs about my dog. Right, let me get
Speaker 8: my mind out there. That's wrong with I got my
Speaker 8: dog with me on the bus right now, bus dog.
Speaker 4: Speaking of that, Speaking of that though, you know, it
Speaker 4: feels to me and I'm only getting this from what
Speaker 4: I see you post on social.
Speaker 3: The more you blow up, the more.
Speaker 4: It seems like you want to be around your family
Speaker 4: and your dog and your loved ones.
Speaker 3: My reading that correctly, that's sir, man Uh.
Speaker 9: I want to anchor myself and family. I think it's
Speaker 9: the root of everything we do. Plus, I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 9: He we're a little we're a little tribe, and they're
Speaker 9: my best friends. My favorite human on earth is my wife.
Speaker 3: You know, like.

Speaker 9: we're dog people.
Speaker 1: That We had a cat. I had a hairless cat,
Speaker 1: of bald cat, one of them.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 1: It was so ugly, it was cute, it was awesome.
Speaker 4: And this cat this to say about me when I
Speaker 4: was younger, they kind of you'll say that now a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 3: It's better what they said about me.
Speaker 1: He's cute, but he's fat.
Speaker 3: But all you got to do is lose weight and
Speaker 3: unlock that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 9: Then i'd be a president. You know what I'm saying. God,
Speaker 9: That's why God didn't make me skinny. He knew I
Speaker 9: had abuse the power.
Speaker 4: You know, that's all you supposed to pick a You

Speaker 4: artist in Tennessee, is that like your version of meeting

Speaker 9: that big. It couldn't have gotten no bigger for me. Dude,
Speaker 9: she's the queen she I've never seen. I don't know
Speaker 9: what you know. You're from the South, but I don't
Speaker 9: know what y'all know about a little town called Severeville, Tennessee,
Speaker 9: where Dolly Parton's from and before Dolly Parton was from
Speaker 9: there and then went back to create the biggest economical
Speaker 9: shift in the history of East Tennessee. You wouldn't have
Speaker 9: cared to know Severeville, Tennessee. I mean, it was a
Speaker 9: map dots what we call it was a dot on
Speaker 9: the map.
Speaker 1: Dude. It made Monk's Corner look big.
Speaker 3: Really, you know what I mean? With the population, yeah.
Speaker 9: I mean, god back then nothing, I mean probably in
Speaker 9: the early thousands. But she went back to bed Dollywood
Speaker 9: and has made it one of the best places to
Speaker 9: travel in America. So everything she's done, from music to
Speaker 9: her stance, the way she carried herself, Dolly Parton is
Speaker 9: her philanthropy.
Speaker 1: She is who I aspire to be. Man, that's dope.
Speaker 3: That's dope. I was reading.
Speaker 4: I was reading an interview that the Black Kid the
Speaker 4: Black Keys did recently, and they said, this is gonna happen.
Speaker 3: I had to bring it up.
Speaker 4: And they said, in twenty and ten, you twenty ten,
Speaker 4: you thought they were making jokes on you.
Speaker 3: So you approached them and asked them, did they want
Speaker 3: to go? They want to fight? Is that true?
Speaker 1: It is? I'm not to say it's the truth. I was.
Speaker 9: I was fresh out of jail and I was battling
Speaker 9: those you know, I mean, I was still had those
Speaker 9: habits with me, and I was just a very very.
Speaker 1: Insecure human man.
Speaker 9: You know what I love to talk about the most
Speaker 9: about this part of the story of Charlemagne's the who
Speaker 9: I was and who I don't think again? Right, It's like, man,
Speaker 9: God softened my heart looking back at that kid, I
Speaker 9: kind of laugh. I got blushing when you brought it
Speaker 9: up because I was embarrassed a little bit. But I
