  Speaker 1: The question we're asking, a lot has been made about
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Shaquille going to get a fake Paw Patrol badge from
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a fake FBI director.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: What do you think, Jess? I think that it was
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a horrible thing to do. I thought it was silly.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I know that he's always been obsessed or kind of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: had this thing about police departments. I remember when he
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: first decided he was going to become a police officer somewhere.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember where it was, Texas or someplace.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was kind of interesting, you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: because he's such a big guy. But I thought, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: that's what he wants to do with his spare time.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Have at it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: But this with Kash Patel, with the things that he
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: said and just just the horrible administration that he represents
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and works for. And you thought it would be an
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: honorable thing to go and shuck and jive in front
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: of these people.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You took an award from a convicted felon.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: An adjudicated rapist and somebody credibly mentioned on the Epstein list.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: If that badge were real, you and all things being equal,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you would be arresting them.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The only ceremony you guys should be involved in together,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: if that were real, it was an indictment.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And I don't think they have ceremonies for that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just looks stupid. I don't think they
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: do that, but yeah. He's actually has more badges than
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: made free throws.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow. Wow.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It's just crazy. It defies credulity. I'm like, hi, what
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: did you think? You didn't get anything for it except play. Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Florida.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: That's where it is where he's a police officer.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: In Florida. In L.A.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And New York. And Georgia too. Yeah, and Georgia, by
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: He can do all of that. You could do all
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: But this whole FBI thing with this particular administration, man,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: come on.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Especially after what they've done to the black community and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the brown community, what they've done deliberately. This dude is
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: just today or yesterday. kicks all the media out and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: then tries to start his own media company. So he
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: wants to ask his own questions, which is crazy because
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: they cleared the merger so that his rich friends could
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: buy all the media. And now you want and the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: same judge who tried the case where he tried to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: do it last time and kick the guy from CNN
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: off is doing it again.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And he's doing state-run media. That's a communist.
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: That's what it is.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: That's communist.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is. But he has an affinity for communists. Yeah.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: That's why it's so interesting that you would call it
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: an honorary He's an honor. What's honorable about this?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: What's honorable about not only the position, but the guy
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: who gave it to you?
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: What's honorable about it?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Shaq took an award from Cash Patel with his cross-eyed ass.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You can't be cross-eyed and drunk. Pick a struggle. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: think that they're very vindictive. I think they've gone after,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you know, the enemies. Cash Patel has investigated people that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: talked about how he was drinking. And he followed them
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to a bar. I'm just kidding. But just the pettiness
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of this administration and the devastation it has wreaked upon
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: black people.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And brown people. People are in jail right now. We
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have secret police going around and snatching people off the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: streets and shooting people. ISIS killed so many people at
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the beginning of this year, they could have their first
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: episode of First 48. Skip, what do you think?
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: I told you, you know, we talked about it before.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: I was very disappointed because in all transparency, I'm friends
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: with Shaq, have known him for many, many, many years,
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: been to his house. He's a good and we've honored
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: him so many times for being philanthropic and giving back
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: to the community, human being in a week.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: But this particular decision.
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Bad move. Well, he's philanthropic, philanthropic.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: That's my man.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But I know you could.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Be my man, buddy. You asked me about this decision.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And I think that I and I don't think this
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is just the thing you can slough off. Look how
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: look how blind and and and willfully dismissive you have
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to be of all that this administration put black people through.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Look at which. And I could honestly even see it
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: if there was something in it for you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing. And I think we're at a point
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: now in this country where lines really are being drawn.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: In the sand. You have to choose a side. You
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: have to.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: We saw what happened with the whole situation with Ed Sheeran.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and Macklemore, you know, and I think the same thing
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: goes for since Trump has been in office, a lot
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of families, you know, a lot of friends are no
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: longer friends anymore. You know, family members are falling out
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: because I think the more that this guy does to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: this country, you have to choose a side. And in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: times like this, you choose the wrong side and it's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: going to haunt you.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I think it says a lot about this country that
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: more people are angry about the price of gas than
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the fact that He's credibly mentioned on the Epstein list.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That tells you who we are. So Shaq took an
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: award from Cash Patel, FBI director of the Trump administration.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: What do you think, going to the phones?
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: No, I don't believe he should have accepted that award.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: That was a sellout move. And I've lost respect for
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: Shaq since he took the spokesperson role for Papa John's
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: after Papa John's founder was calling those NFL players the N-word.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: And here Shaq goes thinking, OK, yeah, I'm your man, boss.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I'll do it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: I'll do it. But no, he could have stood up
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: and said, no, we're not going to accept that. You
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: take your fate and we can take you out of
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: business if we want to. So, no, I don't think
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: he should have accepted that. And he needs to stop
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: being a sellout.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: It's really sad to me that there are so many people,
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: not just Shep, but so many people who have money
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: think it's okay to just abandon their own, the rest
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: of those, any criticism for doing something like this. Like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: this was a stunt, plain and simple. And the fact
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: that he showed up for it and he was defending
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: it and he's still defending it, his decision to participate. Like,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: there used to be a time when black people, people
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: of color stood in solidarity against things like this. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: it just saddens me because this is like another sign
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: of our current times where people just don't want to
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: stand in solidarity against something that's so wrong. It's just
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: wrong to accept any kind of accolades from this. Most
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: of their time, really, like almost all their time degrading
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: and hurting people of color.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: It's just bad.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: It's really sad.
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: Oh, my goodness. I think that Shaquille is who we've
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: always known he was. He is nothing more than a
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: complexion guy. They use it for a shell to cover
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: for other corporations. He's always been for sale. And these badges,
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, he's just been who he thought he was.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: The big sham cop is just who he is. He's
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: nothing more than someone that's willing to sell himself to.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: The highest bidder.
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: And he hasn't met a brand that he wouldn't sell
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: himself for. So when someone tells you who they are,
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: believe them.
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: Man, Shaq is a sellout, and he has been for years.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: They say that this ain't nothing new.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: And then on top of that, he took it because
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: it was a badge.
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: You know, he likes to collect all the badges.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: I want all the badges.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But he's still a sellout.
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: I heard he shamed a guy former.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Him being in an apartment, you know what I'm saying?
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Shaq is a sellout. Snoop's a sellout.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: I don't know what it is about Hollywood.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: When you get to a certain point where you get
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: so much.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Money, if you turn your back on reality, Shaq is
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: a sellout. That's for damn sure.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Shaq took the honorary badge from
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Cash Patel. What do you think?
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: I just, for the life of me, just do not
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: understand these black rich men.
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: I just don't understand them. You know, we support these guys.
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: We love these guys. The Snoop Dogg, the Ice Cube.
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: And now here comes Shaquille O'Neal. I mean, you're a
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: separate war from, I mean, it's a token badge. You're
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: not a real FBI agent, Shaquille. But you forget about that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: Don't you know this is the same FBI that's trying
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: to cover up the F-10 files? Shaq, this is the
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: same FBI right now, Shaq, that is lying to us
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: about the war that's in Iraq. This FBI, I mean,
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: to even be associate.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Yourself with this Trump administration, with this FBI agent, Patel,
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: it's amazing to me. And I just do not understand
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: these black men, these rich black men. And you don't
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: think you will get no pushback from us. This man
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: had laid off almost 500,000 black women, almost 400,000 black
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: women lost their jobs.
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: This administration is anti-black. And Shaquille O'Neal, you are associating
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: yourself with the administration. Shame on you. You forgot where
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: you came from? I mean, it's just heartbreaking to me,
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: you know, somebody who supports this guy. And I've been.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Supporting him for years, ever since he was in college.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: And now this is what I get in return. I'm
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: just sad about the whole thing, you ask me.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: My thoughts are absolutely not.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Shaq should not have taken that award.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I don't understand what's wrong with us as Black people.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: We need to stick together. And if someone, I don't
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: care who it is, is out here disrespecting us, taking
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: things from us, we should not accept anything from them,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: no matter what. Black people, please start getting it together.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: We need to stick together.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: I feel, in my opinion, that shots should have graciously declined.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I cannot accept this during the political environment that we
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: are in. Once this settles down, then we can revisit this.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: But I have to graciously bow. Thank you for your honor.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Why would he accept it in the first place? He
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: shouldn't even pick up the phone and say, yee-haw. No,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: he was wrong for accepting it as far.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: As I'm concerned.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: That's how I feel.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: It is now time for our feature where people get to,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: we welcome some of, we spotlight some of the funniest
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: comedians in the world. Some you know, some you do
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: not today. Welcome to the stage, Gary Michael Anderson.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I don't want.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: Kids, you know?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: I mean, I have them, but I don't want them.
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: So I'm just navigating that every day.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Send help.
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: I never wanted kids because I got a big family,
• 10:41
  Speaker 11: big dysfunctional family. I got 16 nieces and nephews. Yeah,
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: one brother and sister. My brother has seven kids, including
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: two kids. They're the same age. They're not twins. My
• 10:55
  Speaker 11: sister has nine kids, including a set of triplets. It's
• 11:00
  Speaker 11: three kids.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: You guys know that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 11: It's three kids, but there's two fathers. There's two different
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: dudes between the three. One guy fathers two of the
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: triplets and another guy fathers the other.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 11:11
  Speaker 11: How is that possible? I don't know. But probably the
• 11:16
  Speaker 11: same way you find an onion ring in your french fries.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: No one knows. I still eat that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 11: I never wanted kids. I hate my nephews. I went
• 11:35
  Speaker 11: up to the Bay Area to celebrate my 35th birthday,
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: and one of my nephews asked me if he could
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: have my laptop when I die. And I was like, bro,
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: it's my birthday.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: But also, do you know how computers work? Do you
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: know how death works? Like, I plan on being here
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: a minute. You know what I'm saying?
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: I'm a 35-year-old fit, non-smoker, non-rapper. I live in an
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: up-and-coming neighborhood across the street from a Whole Foods. I
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: plan on being here. A minute, and you don't think
• 12:02
  Speaker 11: that I'm going to outlive a 2016 refurbished MacBook Pro
• 12:05
  Speaker 11: with no space bar?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Because space bars, Brooke, you think that I'm going to
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: die before I spill another latte on that?
• 12:12
  Speaker 11: Which would be partly my fault, but also the fault
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: of the Starbucks in San Francisco on 16th and Montgomery
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: Street for having wobbly ass tables when I stood up
• 12:19
  Speaker 11: too fast to take a shit because coffee strikes without warning.
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: But my nephew's a hood kid, so all he knows
• 12:26
  Speaker 11: is like hood-related death.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: He's like, but uncle, what if you get shot? And
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I was like, why are you so excited? But you're right.
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: I could get shot.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I could.
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: But I just exited that 15 to 34 age range
• 12:39
  Speaker 11: where homicide is the leading cause of death amongst black males. You, sir,
• 12:43
  Speaker 11: just entered it. So let me get your Xbox.
