    These gentlemen were geniuses alright.
    They were able to convey powerful messages & dropped knowledge through comedy.
    Brilliant communicators & super intelligent.

    This popped up in the algorithm and truth be told, I needed to hear about the last 15 mins to live segment 🤣🤣🤣. We will never be graced by this kind of fearless comedy ever again. Thank you Roland for being at his send off. It should’ve been on every news station.

    That "new rhythm" that Mr. Gregory was referring to was nothing like the rhythm that people like himself and Mr. Mooney brought to the culture. We need more people like the both of them. May they R.I.H.

    Insight is not comedy.
    Motivational speakers are knot taken for a joke.
    The past is the passed.
    Confident idiots always seem "justified"
    ...if they were insecure, who would strengthen to their *"insight"?*
