:: 01:38

So go pick that up. And also it's at Amazon, it's on Audible, whatever you want to do. Quick listen, quick read, however you take that and let's go ahead and jump right into today's show. You saw the title, right? You saw the title.

:: 01:52

It's real. Ladies and gentlemen, do we really care about sex tapes from our celebrities? Let's think about that for a second. The person that you admire, the person work that you've seen them, the way that they were introduced to you, the way that they may be an inspiration, maybe a hero to you, a childhood hero, would you want to see any of them in a sex tape? I'll let that sit in.

:: 02:24

Let that soak for a little bit. You think about it. I'm going to keep going because, listen, I just know for a fact that's not something I don't think they're hot. I'm giving you my take early because it is what it is, right? Listen, I'm going to break down some things.

:: 02:40

In the past I didn't know a lot of things I didn't know certain people had alleged. I'm still going alleged because I've never seen any of these. So all of these names that I'm going to name off, they are alleged to me with the exception of two. And I'll let you figure out what those two are on your own. But there are two that I have seen, but for the most part well, I'll take that back.

:: 03:02

Three. There are three that I have seen, but for the most part, everybody else is alleged because I've never seen these. Never seen these. And it is funny how I'll be honest with you. I'm a person of the here and the now.

:: 03:17

So when it comes to pop culture and what's going on in the world, even though I don't really dive in and talk about what the celebrities are doing, it's too many people out there doing that. So I'll let them do their thing, right? But when it comes to Nerdy, don't too much get past Nerdy. Don't too much get past Nerdy. But a lot got past me.

:: 03:35

A lot got past me, and it may be just because I wasn't looking in that direction. Maybe it was because I just didn't want to see it. Maybe I didn't care to. I don't know. But let me give you a list of alleged names of people who may have or have not had sex tapes.

:: 03:57

But there was a list that was compiled. I googled, and you can google this yourself, but on that list of names, let's just get it out there. There's paris Hilton. There's Pam Anderson. There's Hulk Hogan.

:: 04:11

Hulk Hogan. Think about that. The Hulkster. Hulkamania. What in the world?

:: 04:17

What? Maybe allegedly. Why? Who would never mind. Who would want to see that?

:: 04:25

Who would want to see that? Kim k the aura. R. Kelly. Not the one with the kid.

:: 04:32

Okay. Rob Lowe, kid Rock. I mean, he's a rock and roll star. I'm going to be honest with you. I expect all rock and roll stars to have some type of sex tapes, but I just don't expect them ever to get out.

:: 04:43

Think about it. When you look at a rock star, a rock star does not have athletic body build. They're pretty much wasted on drugs and alcohol, and you want to see some out of shape, pop belly, person giving never mind. But you get where I'm going with this. Tanya Harding.

:: 05:01

John Edwards, which was just foul. I did catch John Edwards. I did hear about that in the media and the reason behind that and all that. That was just nasty. You're nasty man, John.

:: 05:12

Nasty man. Not for the act, but for what you put your family through and what your family was actually going through during that time. If that was true, what the media put out about your wife being about your wife having cancer. And then this coming out during that time where she was in recovery or when she was going through that situation, I just think to me, that that is a very nasty situation. Not the act of actually fornicating and making cordis or whatever the case may be.

:: 05:42

Chelsea Handler. I would never think that she could I don't know. I don't see her as that. Having one of those chelsea Handler talking about the comedian. No.

:: 05:57

Okay. Want to have the late night? Okay, never mind. Maybe I'm tripping. Colin Farrell.

:: 06:01

Really? Colin Farrell. Gene Simmons. Fred Durst. More rock and roll stars.

:: 06:07

Right. And then here the latest. Here the latest Miss Sexy Red. I mean, I'm pretty sure there's a ton more out. Eh, I'm not looking for them.

:: 06:20

I'm not searching for them. I don't want to see them there. You know what? I'll come back to the Sexy Red deal. I'll come back to Sexy Red later on in the conversation.

:: 06:30

But just think about this, guys. Any of these people, would you want to see them in a tape? The answer probably is a hell no. Why would I want to do that? Why would I do that?

:: 06:41

Why would I subject myself to seeing something like this?

:: 06:47

Good thought process. If I see you, if I'm already criticizing you for your music that you put out or your acting skills or your play on the field or the basketball court or whatever the case may be, why would I want to add to criticizing you about what you do in the bedroom? That's your private life. That's your privacy. Nobody needs to be in there and do that.

:: 07:18

Why would we do that? For one person to have all that scrutiny on them as a celebrity, to say, okay, hey, you're already criticizing me because of what I wear. You're already criticizing me because I'm an actor. You're already criticizing me because I rap or I sing or whatever the case. And then every time I step out or anytime I post a picture, you criticizing me about something.

:: 07:38

And then they have something so private as making cordis and you and your partner and that leaks out. And now people are going to be criticizing you about that. That's a lot for one person. That's a whole lot for one person. And I know I don't think that me personally.

:: 07:57

I don't think that society as a whole. I mean, there are some dirt bags out there. There are some dirt bags out there that just don't give a care, and they put these things out there for whatever the have a viral moment to get a bunch of clicks and likes or whatever the case may be, but nobody really wants to see that. Now, I saw a documentary about this whole Hulk Hogan thing, and this is probably what pretty much spearheaded this about. And the way I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't think what I was watching was going to be that it was a show, and Dennis Rodman got his money stole him, and what's the guy name?

:: 08:32

Ricky Williams. They got their money stole with the athletes, and then there was this Hulk Hogan. I was like, okay, well, Hogan, who going to do something to Hulk Hogan? I mean it's. Hulk hogan.

:: 08:41

Now, I'm gonna be honest with you. I thought the whole deal was about when Hogan made the racial remarks or whatever the case may be, and I was like, oh, yeah, I remember hearing that. I remember hearing those things, and they were saying about him and his daughter or whatever the case. Now, if I heard about that, I want you guys to understand something. If I heard about that, it's hard for me to understand after watching this.

:: 09:04

How did I not hear about the sex tape? Because the sex tape was attached to the racial slurs and remarks that he was making. But for somehow, some way, when the media stream came to me, and when I caught wind of it, it was only about the racial slurs and not the sex tape, which, once again, I feel like nobody really america really doesn't care about the society. The American society doesn't really care about the sex tape part. Even though they went to court, he got $140,000,000.

:: 09:39

And that whole shebang was just freaking horrible. One of the things I don't and I'm still this way today, I don't understand why people need cameras in their homes.

:: 09:55

I find that crazy. I have a couple of echo shows in the house. They have cameras on them, and I kid you not, every single last one of the camera shutters are closed on every single echo show that I have in the house. Every single one is closed. I get it.

:: 10:11

You can do FaceTime. You can call people. You can talk to people or whatever the case may be on that. That's fine. That's cool.

:: 10:16

That's cool for the grandkids. You know what I'm saying? Mom want to call and talk and that, and you can't go over and see them or whatever the case. That's cool. That's when it comes open, and right after that phone call, that's when it goes closed.

:: 10:27

I can get that. That makes perfect sense.

:: 10:32

And I'm saying, yeah, you people and that's a wide range of people out there who have cameras inside of your home. Somebody's got to get down in the comments, and they got to tell me why. What is the reason of having cameras in your home? Do you have that many people coming in your home, or what valuables? I don't know.

:: 10:53

Maybe because I don't have that many people coming to my home, or I don't really want that many people coming to my home. But you got to explain to me or help me understand, why do you have cameras in your homes, in your private areas, such as your bedroom, such as your bathrooms? I don't get it. So you all let me know, and then you all just let me know about that. I don't understand that.

:: 11:13

Me Nerdy. I don't understand that piece, right? I don't get it. Now, back to this whole sex tape thing, right? Because, like I said, who wants to see their favorite?

:: 11:27

Like. Listen, Sandra Bullock. When I was growing up, sandra Bullock was my crush. Sandra bullock was my crush. I first saw her in what is it?

:: 11:36

Speed with Keanu Reeves, and then it was miscongeniality, the blind side and all of her other movies. I love the one with her and Melissa McCarthy, but never, never would ever in life would want to see her in the act. That's it. Of that, of cortis, of sex, of having relationships with a partner or a jump off, whatever. Never would I want to see her do that.

:: 12:08

Never. You think I want to sit over here and watch Forrest Whitaker do something like that? You think I want to watch Denzel? You think I want to watch Taraji P? You think I want to watch Brad Pitt?

:: 12:19

You think I want to watch Angelina Jolie? You think I want to watch what's my girl Whoopi Goldberg? Listen, how do we get to the point to where, okay, hey, there's a leak, and we say, okay, hey, this is a person's sex tape. And now we go run to it and we go jump. Oh, my God, this person has a sex tape.

:: 12:38

Nobody really wants to see that. Nobody really wants to see the sex tape. I promise you. I mean, somebody out there does because there's a lot of clicks, and of course it generates a little viral moment. But why would you want to see somebody in that space?

:: 12:54

Like I said, it could be good and it could be bad, right? It could be real bad. Like I said, for that person, it's a whole nother level at that point because now the psyche goes. You got to think about that person's psyche and how they're going to respond when the world is criticizing you on every single thing of your life. First it was just your art and that you was putting out into the world.

:: 13:19

Now we're literally getting into your personal now we're into your bedroom. Now we're into your camera phone that you let this guy hold while you all are in this moment and whatever reason it got out, you know what I'm saying? Maybe some of you all need to take a different route if you do do things like that, get that USB, put it in the safe and go from there. But no, I don't know. I just don't get it.

:: 13:44

I don't want to see, I don't know what's the dude named Hannibal Lecter. Nobody wants to see Hannibal Lecter get it getting in. Don't nobody want to see your favorite newscaster getting in. Nobody wants to see that. I mean, even when you look at porn today, right?

:: 14:07

Today porn is a 15 billion to $97 billion industry. And the reason why that is is because you got all of these outlets, pornhub, Xxn.com, only fans, the regular. I don't even know if West Coast customs or West Coast productions is still a thing, but there's something for everybody no matter what it is, right? Foot porn, food, porn, whatever. I think if porn is attached to it, yeah, it's generating something, right?

:: 14:40

I know on some of those only fans, it's people just literally eating cake in their underwear and people are paying for that. So there's a thing for everybody. And I'm not kink shaming anybody, I promise you I'm not. But I don't think we really need a market for celebrity sex tapes. Trust me, there are people out there that want to see it.

:: 15:01

I just can't understand it and wrap my mind around it. One, I'm thinking about the celebrity themselves. They already have enough to deal with, with criticisms. Right. Because haters going to hate.

:: 15:14

We know that from Tay. Tay, right. And then also, too, there's the whole deal where you got to deal with social media every time you go out. You gotta be perfect. You gotta seem like you gotta be perfect.

:: 15:23

You can't fail at anything. You can't miss a word. You cannot fail as a celebrity. Once you get out there, you have to always be on point. But then for me, I think about those folks and I say, hey, when do they get a chance to just be human?

:: 15:40

And I mean, I get it where some of them don't. They'll come out for probably three or four months or whatever, promote whatever they need to promote, and then we don't hear a thing from them. Or we just probably see posts from their instagram if they're active on their social medias, where they're chilling on the beach, or they're away from life, society. They're away from society. They're away from the everyday hustle and bustle where you got to go in and do x, y, and z.

:: 16:04

I'm worried more about that person in the entertainment industry when it comes to just being able to have a sense of normalcy in their personal life versus having every aspect of your life picked apart, dissected. Like, okay, talk trash about my music, talk trash about my acting, talk trash about my podcast, whatever you want to. But then when it comes into my personal world, where it's my whole circle, my sanctuary, once you start criticizing what I got going on in my sanctuary, then I think that's a little bit, I'm not going to say a little bit, that is over the line. Everybody is still a human. No matter what industry you're in, you're still a human, but you just can't allow that to go on, or whatever the case may be.

:: 16:51

I don't understand it, but close your eyes, and I'm going to say this again. Close your eyes. Think about which celebrity, or let me say it this way. Would you rather watch your favorite celebrity in a sex tape, or would you rather get a hall pass or not and just go behind closed doors and do whatever it is you want to with that person and nobody ever knows and there's no record of it. Which would you rather?

:: 17:24

Which would you prefer? Just asking, which would you prefer? So I say that to say, even if it's trash, let's just say Idris Alba, okay? You get behind those closed doors with Idris Alba, and he's the worst. He's the horriblest.

:: 17:43

Would you have wanted the world to see that? No, because you like these people. You love these people. You feel something for them. And even if you're watching these sex tapes, there's like a part of humanity that makes you feel a certain way.

:: 18:04

That whole Hulk Hogan thing, right? I was like, not the hoaxer. Not the hoaxer. Couldn't have had a sex tape. If you haven't watched it or if you haven't seen it, go check it out.

:: 18:15

It's wild. Like, I'm going to be honest with you. There's no way in hell I am ever cool with my best friend pounding my significant other in any form of fashion, whatever the case may be. Yeah, no, that's not going down here, buddy. Okay?

:: 18:32

But the fact it's wild. I'm telling you, go watch it. It's wild. It just doesn't make any sense. But it happened, and I don't want to see that.

:: 18:42

I never wanted to see that. Like I told you, I mentioned Chelsea Handler name. Allegedly, she has a sex tape. I can't fathom that. Chelsea's funny as all outdoors.

:: 18:55

I'm gonna be honest with you. I have a thing with comedians, right? I don't ever, ever want to see comedians in that light whatsoever. But I also can never with the women. With the women.

:: 19:06

And I'll say this right here because I've said it on here before, but I think I've spoken more to the female athletes. But it's the same thing with comedians, right? Female comedians? No, my brain doesn't allow me to process, to be able to sexualize them. And it's the exact same thing with female athletes.

:: 19:28

I can't sexualize them. I want to have a conversation with them. I want to laugh with them. I want to joke with them. And pretty much that's about it.

:: 19:35

I can say that they're beautiful. I can acknowledge how beautiful they are. I think Chelsea Handler is beautiful. But past that, that's pretty much where it goes. I'm not trying to get with any of them, but I'm just saying this is the way that my brain works.

:: 19:48

So I just can't see anybody who would put something out there like that to kind of hurt a person like that, because it is hurt if you put that out there. And I don't like when people say, oh, it's an accident. It slipped out there. It's an accident. No, just like with this whole Sexy Red bringing it back around.

:: 20:05

Right? Because of course, guys, you know, I'm not going to beat a dead horse, but I'm going to wrap up here pretty soon. But when you look at this whole Sexy Red situation, I saw it on Instagram and not the video itself. Now I'm familiar with sexy red music. Music.

:: 20:24

I'm not familiar with her face, so I had to Google what Sexy Red looked like. Sexy Red looks nice. She's a beautiful girl with the makeup on. The picture I saw on Instagram said, this is sexy red. And I was like, no, that's not, because the picture that I saw was only of what sexy red face is or alleged.

:: 20:54

Well, I don't know if it's alleged. I'm going to say alleged. It's a face. And I'm like, no, that's not the same person. It's not the same person that Drake was kissing an ear.

:: 21:03

That's not the same person that was in all red with the red hair. That's not the same person. And I'm like, I had to reach out to my nephews. They confirmed it's her. What?

:: 21:19

To see you vulnerable in that state, to see you stripped down to your bare necessities, that's not something I want to see. That's not something I want to see. Like I said, I like some of her music. Not all of it. I like some of her music, but that's how I was introduced to her, through music.

:: 21:35

And then, like I said, when I had to go Google what she looked like or whatever the case may be, okay, like I said, she's a cute girl, but that picture, that frame, that Android video or Android still shot, that was shown. No, I couldn't be. I was in disbelief. But then, too, for me, I had to think about, this is a woman. Why would they want to be at that?

:: 22:06

They said it was accidentally leaked on her Instagram story. Now, listen to me. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not here to point fingers. I post some stories on Instagram because Instagram, for whatever reason, don't allow me to schedule my stuff out.

:: 22:20

But that's another story for another day. Instagram, Meta, whatever you want to call it. Whole store, different day. But you got to click some buttons. You just can't click.

:: 22:31

Click. It ain't no just, Oops, I did that. No, there's, like, 12345. I mean, you upload it, boom. Okay.

:: 22:40

You put it on there, it's going to say, okay. Hey, you want to edit this? You say no. Done. Do you want to add something else to this?

:: 22:47

No. And then it's another click. One too many clicks. An accident is, Oops, I had this up. I clicked it, and it shared.

:: 22:57

Not a you know what I'm saying? It's not that somebody leaked it to whoever got a phone. Whoever had the phone homeboy leaked it. Whatever. How he did, I don't think it was an accident.

:: 23:08

I think it was done on purpose. But we don't have to do that today. Nobody's really in here for sex tapes. My stance on it is nobody cares about celebrity sex tapes. Allow them to live their lives just as you live your life.

:: 23:21

Just think about it. What if we put you on blast? Put your sex tape out there. I didn't even get to the movie. The sex tape where we saw so much stress going back and forth of them saying, oh, my sex tape is in the cloud.

:: 23:35

How do. I go get it. And they was trying to stop everybody from possibly seeing their sex tape and what stress that can call. And that was just like I know it was a movie, but it was like a little knit. But I could think that the thought process would be real.

:: 23:51

But even for a celebrity on a bigger scale now, this is going to go out to the world, right? Not just here in America. It's going to go out to the world and everybody's going to see it. Everybody's going to have something to say. There's going to be hate in different languages that you probably don't even read that's going to be saying stuff.

:: 24:10

And it's not a deal. But, guys, like I said, I'm not going to be the dead horse, and I need to wrap it up. But, you know, we're doing this is the time where we get into a little music, and once we get into that music, I'll come back and I'll wrap up the show. And this is how we are going to do it's. Basic jump basin, baby.

:: 24:42

Song.

:: 24:47

Well, whale. Well, it might not be the right time. I might not be the right one. But there's something about us I want to say because there's something between us. Anyway, baby.

:: 25:28

I might not be the right one. It might not be the right time. But there's something about us I've got to do. Some kind of secret I will share with you. I need you more than anything in my life.

:: 25:53

I want you more than anything in my life. I miss you more than anyone in my life. I love you more than anyone in my life. My life real with it might not even be you that's good for me. But it's something about something about that something.

:: 26:48

I need you more than anything in my life. I want you more than anything in my life. I miss you more than anyone in my life. I love you more than anyone in my life. Anyone ain't for all, one and all.

:: 27:25

That might not be well, why not?

:: 27:36

Why not?

:: 28:25

Isn't love just beautiful? I mean, every aspect of it, from the pursuit, you know, the courtship part, to actually feeling and embracing it.

:: 28:41

First time I laid eyes on her was many years ago. And from that moment on all right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back. And so, yeah, listen, that was Shelley, okay? Aka Drum. If you guys aren't aware of how he gives it up, how he gives it down, all the above.

:: 29:04

But that's him. So check it out if you're on YouTube. Sorry you didn't get to hear that. But it's something about us. Go check it out.

:: 29:13

It's a nice record. But guys, like I said, I'm not going to beat a dead horse. Thank you for riding with me along this podcast journey. Oh, that's random. It's things that I think about, things that I get out there.

:: 29:25

I know, sex tape crazy. Not really topic that we really talk about today because obvious reasons, back in the day, oh my God, it was shock value, but not now. Nobody cares. Allegedly. Sly had one called the Wild Stallion or something like that.
