Something about you can get touched or some shit.

Oh, shit.

Well, no, let me do it, because she bleeped out the word nigga in her thread.

But I did say bitch ass in it.

Bitch ass in asterisk asterisk a.

So she typed it like a Karen.

It's like, girl, if you got to do all of that, then just use a different word.

And who was you threatening?

They thought you got hacked.

Did they?

Yeah, because they know you were pussies.

They like, oh shit.

They like, Mel is not. But then niggas

went and got the fouls. They were like, y'all know Mel

used to run with the Rough Riders. I was like, no, I did not know that.

You know Mel's been to jail several times too.

Like, maybe I just suppressed

that part of myself a lot because I really

did not like my visits to

jail. I didn't know there were

such hardened criminals

in the world.

So openly threaten people.

I didn't know that.

I mean, I didn't put a name on it.

It was, you know.

Well, Ron Eisley went to jail

and I didn't think he tough neither.

He did.

Even though he's probably tough.

You didn't add all the extra stuff.

That's crazy.

Oh, shit.

All right, so the tweet stands.

It stands.

The tweet stands.

It stands.

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God.

Also, I don't know who up here needs to hear this, but public threat to people is not good.

It's also nobody's professional.

Just so we're clear.

In my defense, I was, you know, I'd had a couple of spicy margs and maybe a little bit of...

The allegations.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

We're not addressing that stupid-ass shit.

Mocktails. No, they were cocktails.
We're not addressing that stupid-ass shit. Mock tails.

No, they were cocktails.

Oh.

They were cocktails.

I'm starting.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I don't like the word cock and tails and then silence.

Spicy margs make Melly Mel spicy.

Unless we're in the sex club.

They called you Y&W Melly.

That's funny. Oh, thanks, Margs.
Yo, that shit is funny, bro. I like that nickname.
I'd like for it to stick. Peace and love in 2020.
It's not sticking. Just so you know, it's not sticking.
Damn it. YMW Melly.
You're such a goof. I like that shit.
What am I doing here? I'm doing... I need to get stronger.
I got a free training session at my gym. The guy threw me on the bench press right when I get there.
He goes, give me eight reps. So I gave him eight.
Then he goes, give me one more. Why don't you just say nine? I told him I can't do one more.
he goes i can't isn't in your vocabulary i was like then i'm unable that's definitely my vocabulary i don't know a lot of words so when i was in uh in the gym, I then went to the men's locker room, to the steam room, and if you're not familiar with the steam room, it's a great place to start a relationship with another guy. If you're looking for that.
I was not looking for that, but there was a guy in there. His name was Travis.
He was looking for that.

And he asked me questions. Lots and lots of questions.
And I entertain

those questions because I'm an entertainer.

And so, like, I'm on my

way out. I'm about to leave.
And before

I can, Travis goes, I'll see you later.

And he waves like this to me.

Just like that.

So I'm standing there. I'm thinking.
like, I guess I'm going to wave back. But when I did, all that came out of my hand was this.
My point is, I may or may not have a boyfriend. Fuckin' $49.
It's mad static. Y'all talkin' over white noise like me and Elliot Wilson did in their interview.
But we here. I sold more dope than I sold records.

What up? I felt good, too. And, no, I'm outside, man.
I'm outside. I'm here to work, Joe.
You know, I know you got your little plan. We're going to get into that.
Me and Mel had a meeting this weekend. Me, Mel, and Ian.
We're going to get to that. We said we were going to it.
We tried to run from it. You put to introduce it.
But me, Mel and Ian, we had a meeting on the corner with some French people. I felt like I was about to be taken and stolen.
But it was some freaky shit going on. She speaks French now all of a sudden.
She's Canadian. She's from Canada.
Oh, yeah. I forgot.
I didn't know. I forgot about that.
But yeah, it was great.

I'm happy that you... I'm a little bit.

You said what?

I'm stupid.

Why?

What that got to do with...

I just rolled with it.

Now she's from Canada, of course.

Of course she knows French.

I was like, French, French.

A lot of people.

French.

I forgot about that.

No, it's our second language.

Like how you learn Spanish here,

we learn French in Canada.

It's part of our curriculum. We don't learn Spanish.
Yeah, we do learn Spanish here, we learn French in Canada. It's part of our curriculum.
We don't learn Spanish. It's part of your curriculum, right? It's an official language up there.
Right, yes. No, I got to learn the basic Spanish.
Some stuff I feel stupid pulling the translator app out for. Do you know how to say hello? Don't know.
Like, I should know the fucking muy bien or whatever that is. Like, the basic, hey, how much.
Yeah, dinero. But don't be like, hey, papi.
Mucho, mucho. Cash a pay? Yo.
Cash a pay. Friday night was the start of my spy adventures.
The start? There's multiple spy adventures this weekend? Plural? He's always on a spy adventure, but usually it's from his phone. Yeah.
But he actually went outside this time. Don't reveal too much about me.
I don't feel like the audience really knows that I'm sick. I think they know that you're a spy.
They know. No, no, I don't think they know the degree of my obsessiveness and how it works when it's in effect.
I think you've alluded over the years, but you're right. Carry on.
Quiet. Friday night is normally my go out and thawed it out night, but Ish was taking too many pictures in the streets.

I mean, I'm here to tell the truth.

That's your truth.

Go ahead.

So I had to come and investigate

and see what was so,

what all the teeth was about.

Journalism.

What was the teeth?

What's the teeth about?

I had no idea.

The teeth? Yeah, on all the pictures. He smiled.
Oh, he showed a lot of teeth. Smiling.
Oh, my God. He's happy.
Yeah, but nah. Nah.
Too much teeth for me. Okay.
So Friday night, I learned on Patreon, Ish is going to Paddle of the Sexes. Boy, I thought that was hilarious.
Why? I went last year. On brand.
On brand. We saw you last year with your nipples out at Paddle of the Sexes.
The Reddit found it. Yeah.
I mean, I wasn't hiding, apparently. At the ping pong? You're welcome.
Anyways, go on. If I see that, I think I got a freak.
I ain't going to lie. I mean.
Girl. Girl.
Anyway. Paddle with the sex.
What? I was going to say, keep up with that fucking narrative. Mel.
What? Anyways, paddle with the sexes. Paddle with the sexes.
I'm going to spy on Ish 1, and Mel was out with a shoulder injury.

But I know she went to paddle with the sexes last year.

So I was hoping to catch her at a ping pong table after she told me that she was going to have shoulder surgery.

You would have walked in like, I got nuts. See, I'm here to clear up a few conspiracies.
Y'all think Mel called out because of whatever. She had shoulder surgery.
A little rotator cuff. So I was going, I dare her would have played ping pong that night.
But? I did. But she was not there.
I was not there. I was at home recovering, convalescing, if you will, from my shoulder surgery.
Convalescing. Convalescing.
Convalescing. Word of the day.
Word of the day. Mm-hmm.
So, the real fun begins, and I just get to watch-ish float around. Even better.
Yeah. Go ahead.

What?

Do you think he played? I mean, I don't even have

a big takeaway here.

It was just fun watching.

What did he do?

What did you see?

What stood out to you?

I would love to hear this one.

I would love to hear this one.

Go ahead.

Put that rapper brain to use.

Did he play the whole room?

Put that rapper brain to use.

Canoodling? Okay. A little, because the audience don't know.
Slate is from the old school. We've done Slate.
We know Slate. We've been with Slate forever.
So I walk in there, and I didn't plan on telling this story. I was just going to crack on it.
It's floating around. But all right, fine.
You'll force it out of me. So I walk up in there.
It's me. It's Corey.
We got fucking Buck. Buck and Dwayne and Dirt.
They all mad big. We get right to the front.
Nick said Joe had security with him? This is for a foundation. It's for a foundation.
Yeah. Great cause.
The girl in the front is somebody that they got to work the front and explain the foundation and what you need to do to get in younger younger girl but really diligent at doing her job so she got me and these four giant niggas standing here while she explained to me the process of paying to get in paddle of the sexes I don't know cuz all I heard was blah blah blah blah blah but I like to let people do their job so go ahead so I was like all right I'll make a foundation she was like great so just walk over there to the long tables where the line is they'll give you a ticket you'll pay some money you sign your name and yada yada yada yada yada yada for mad long she's standing there until somebody with cents came from behind the curtain and said no no no no and i said no i'm just gonna let it go thank you that was that was a great spiel so then she she bring us in there, Charisse, and it's like a content house. Charisse say, hey, we're going to get you in front of this MSG step and repeat, and we're going to get you to do the MSG interview.
Sit down for five minutes and say, no. No, you're not.
I said, no no you're not at all nothing remotely close to what you're saying is gonna happen and I walked away from her and went and stood over there and everybody just had phones and videos it was recording. Constant reminder for me why don't normally come to these types of shit? Hish, did you do the podcast? Podcast? Whatever the MSG interview.
Okay. Okay.
Well anyway when I finally go bust through the curtain where everything is because I was at the bar early at the entrance, when I bust through the curtain, it's an arcade. That could be lit.
Hold on. I'm not all the way.
I'm following so far. It's an arcade.
A good one? Yeah, what they had, though. A little basketball hoop, a little street fighter?

I don't know.

Oh.

And it was a lot of ping pong tables.

Right.

Okay, it's Paddle the Sexes.

With people playing ping pong.

Okay.

Hence the paddle.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know why I thought Paddle the Sexes meant it would be a game, a featured game

or two highlighted, and people would be watching that. This was just a bunch of people playing.
That was like a ping pong bar. Ping pong.
It was a tournament. No, it's a tournament, yeah.
It was a tournament. So you go through each and every like.
I've seen some ping pong bars popping up. Yes.
That's a thing too. Anyway.
Yeah. I went and stood in a corner and hid.
Like the first corner I could find. Sounds like you.
But then the drunk girl that worked at Def Jam back in the day started talking to me a lot. And I kept peeking over there to see Ish, but Ish was standing where he could be seen over there.
He was illuminating. Of course.
Mad bright standing there. Light skin as hell.
He didn't walk around, but he stood there just trying to have this fucking Morris Chestnut face. And I want to walk over there and talk to him, but he right under a spotlight.
It's like he always in the brightest place that you could be in the spotlight. So now I never walk over there to him because that ain't my style.
Mel voice pop up in my head.

You two are like vultures playing me opposite sides

of the room. And it's like, it's not that.

It's not that. It's just not

I can't go over there.

I can't. So Corey goes over

there. They talk.
We stand there for about

10 minutes. I tap Corey, give him a little sign

and we get the fuck up out of there.

And that was it. And then I couldn't go

nowhere for the whole Friday night because I fell asleep as soon as I got home.

Because it's

fucked up my nap time going to spy on

I'm home. Really? Because Ish fucked up my nap time going to spy on him.
Ish did it. Going to spy on him and fucked up my nap time.
And he didn't even come back with that. And that was the end of that.
Yeah, no. You ain't go to the spot? No.
No. I was wondering.
You went to the spot? I ain't get a phone call. Nah, we was going, I was going, you know what I mean? So now we got to rely on you for the Paddle of the Sexes recap.
Nah, I think it was dope. How'd you do in the tournament? I didn't play.
I wasn't one of the contestants. I didn't play.
It was a dope event. Shout out to Cherie.
Shout out to Edgar. Because you just, you're a monster dog.
But no, it was dope. It was basically, like Joe said, it's a charitable event.
And Mel played last year. So let's say it's 16 people or 30 people.
And it's basically just bracket all the way down. Yeah, bracket.
And then the winners win. But it wasn't what Joe's saying.
Arcade. It was just a whole bunch of ping pong tables with people playing.
It was a little festive. It was bright.
He did come in, hide in the corner like he be on his normal shit. That nigga wasn't gonna come over there and talk.

Well, he might have came over there if it was dark and talked to me.

But I was just standing by

the DJ and

Corey talked over there. It wasn't what he'd say.

So y'all didn't talk at all

on the spot? Yeah, we did.

You and Joe spoke on the spot? Yeah.

Okay. Just not in the arcade.

Yeah, we was at the barcade. So it was broken down into sections.
There were a lot of hardworking people in it. Got it.
Can we? You don't want to go down that alley, do you? So listen, this fool comes over to me and says, yo, could you get me out of here with these regular Joes? I don't want to be around the working class people.

Oh, shit.

I'm messing that right out of there.

Don't worry.

Hey, don't worry.

I'm editing that right out of that broadcast.

That's what we doing.

Yo, it's too many nine-to-fivers in here.

I don't want to be.

I'm like, yo, this guy is crazy.

How could he tell?

I have no idea how you could tell it was too many nine-to-fivers. I could tell kind of.
What's a 9 to 5-er look like? You guys are horrible people. I know a lot of 9 to 5-ers that put that shit on.
I remember back in the day, 9 to 5-ers, well, we all used to. Bridge and Tunnel.
Bridge and Tunnel workers? Does anybody here know what Bridge and Tunnel means? Of course. I think I'm officially Bridge and Tunnel now, though.
A little bit. No, you're not.
I don't know what Bridge and Tunnel is? Does anybody know what Bridge and Tunnel means? I think I'm officially Bridge and Tunnel now, though. A little bit.
I don't know what Bridge and Tunnel is. What the hell is Bridge and Tunnel? Bridge and Tunnel is what New Yorkers call the people that come over the bridge or through a tunnel to get to New York to go to the after hours and nightlife.
Monday through Friday, and now we're going outside. The bridge and tunnel.

Oh, the ones that don't go home and change.

I don't think so.

No, I'm not saying.

Did it come directly from work?

There was a time in which showing up at the club or the lounge in your business casual was completely acceptable.

I heard about it.

I think it's just stuck in that era.

Oh, shit.

Why? It was a good era. I can't lie.
I like that's just stuck in that era. Oh, shit.
Why?

It was a good era.

I can't lie.

I like that era, too.

But this shit got on the dismissive.

You can't tell if he...

That's not what happened.

What happened was

we started talking,

you know, we guys,

we started having a girl talk.

And it's like,

yo, some ice in here.

And Jerome's like,

get me out of this.

I'm like, y'all know this ain't my bag. Get me the fuck out of here.
I don't want to be around bitches with jobs. Yo.
I'm sorry. Get me.
Get me. So they had like ties on and shit? No, nigga, they were shut.
They don't understand. They don't understand.
I wouldn't flip, bro. I don't understand.
What do you understand? How can you tell? Have you come to the spot? OK, so they didn't have no jewelry on. There weren't no super bad bitches in there.
No, there was some monsters in there. So they look like they work behind a bar? Yes.
Monsters are mon-stars. Mon-stars.
Mon-stars. There was some mon-stars in there? With the asterisk.
There was both. Yeah.
Yeah, so that was it. I didn't see a goblin.
I didn't see.

Joe Halloween is different than our Halloween.

It's probably like the beginning of the night

of the living day when everybody's normal.

Before they got bitten.

Yo, you're an idiot, yo.

Before the zombies took over,

yo, this guy's a fucking idiot.

Long story short, I had fun.

And then, so my man was in there and he's like, yo, what we doing after? So niggas was like, yo, pergola, what? So everybody's like, yo, go to Saint, go to Saint. I've never been to Saint.
Saint is some new spot in the city that's pergola-esque. Okay.
Okay, cool. Go to Saint.
We get in the car. It's me.
So Mandy got a birthday cake and some other shit. She's like, yo, can I put this shit in your car? I'm like, yeah.
So Mandy rides with me. So my man and his people, they four deep.
They go in another car. Boom.
We get to the spot. It's packed.
Like it's wall-to-wall people. I walk in.
Nine to five are still? I don't know. No, it was mixed.
So I walk in. My man taps me on the shoulder.
I turn around. Who is it? Imani.
Good old E. Nat and Rachel.
They out gallivanting on the town. They hit a couple different spots.
So I'm like, yo, I've never been here before. It's packed.
We finally can't get a table. I'm about to leave.
They say, yo, come back in. We got y'all a table.
It's six of us, right? They got us a table for four. So we already on some nine to five brokey shit because we got to cramp in on some, you know what I mean? Table for four.
six of us, right? They got us a table for four. So we already on some nine to five brokey shit

because we got to cramp in on some, you know what I mean?

Table for four, six of us.

Yeah, I know.

Go ahead, judge.

Boom, we get out, everybody starts ordering.

Order a hookah, we getting food, drinks,

whatever the case may be.

Mind you, I know Mandy, I know my man,

and then I know my man's peoples that I just met. Super fly, dope.
She was one of the contestants at the Paddle of the Sexes. The other two people, I don't know.
But they was in my man's car. So I'm going to welcome them like I welcome my man.
Everybody down, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. About an hour goes by.
My man hit me with the yellows. All right, cool.
The bill comes. The bill comes.
As the resident male at the table, I'm like, all right, cool. I don't know these motherfuckers, but.
What do you mean as the resident male? There's other males? Two males. No, no, listen, listen, listen.
So as the resident male, I'm like, all right, I don't know them, but cool. The two men going to split the bill down the middle.
Sure. Right? My man gets up.
I get up. I'm like, yo, how you want? You know what I mean? You got a card, cash, how you want to do it? My man gives me, yo, who them? They roll with him, though.
I said, I don't know them motherfuckers. Who them? He like, dog, I don't know them.
And I said, me either. But these are the girls that rolled with him?

Yes, they rolled with my man.

He says he don't know them.

Come on.

His peoples recognized one of the girls, and they was like, yo, where y'all going?

Can we come?

And they said, yeah.

But the girls get to the table, my nigga, they ordering up.

They espresso martini in it.

One of the girls even took a to-go bowl.

Oh, shit.

Oh, y'all was goofy.

Right?

So I'm looking at my man, and I'm like, yo, my nigga.

Thank you. One of the girls even took a to-go bowl.
Oh, shit. Oh, y'all was goofy.
Right? So I'm looking at my man, and I'm like, yo, my nigga. Now my other brain kicks in like, I ain't paying for these bitches.
Long story less long, my man gives me a 20. Yo, and look, he my man, and he not a cheap.
But I think he might just didn't, you know what I mean? That day. And I end up paying, I paid 80% of the bill.
I was furious. Damn.
So look, I'm dead ass. I was furious.
How high was the time? It's important. It wasn't crazy, but it was the principal.
About? About there. Okay.
But I didn't know them.

You get what I'm saying?

So my thing was, I don't know y'all.

We not conversing with y'all.

None of that shit.

Y'all done talk at the table?

Barely.

Like, barely.

They were just over there eating.

They were too busy eating.

They didn't have much to say because they were eating.

How did they look, nigga?

Being thirsty.

That's what y'all get.

Good for you, niggas.

I'm happy. That's for real.
I wasn't being thirsty. They didn't look at you.
They was a burger. That's all I'm saying.
That's why you want to pick the big one. Yo, what is going on in the world? I'm going to get my shades if y'all keep this up.
Audience, we not talking about nothing, but we staying right here for a second. I was on fire.
You should be mad at your man though. Nothing.
I'm not disagreeing.

You should be mad

at yourself.

Go to bed.

Go home.

Yo, people go outside.

You was at the arcade,

nigga.

People go outside.

It's over now.

Nigga, everybody

in a hermit crab like you,

niggas was outside

enjoying themselves

while they out.

Yo, it's over for that.

It's over for enjoying yourself. Okay, wait, can I get a clue? If's over for us huddling up at the end of one spot trying to figure out the next spot.
Hold up, let me ask. Was they bad? No.
We already clarified that. It wasn't no M fool.
It wasn't. It wasn't.
It wasn't whack. Well, they fooled something out of the 9 to 5 club, put them in a, organized the transport.
They organized the transport. Mandy done moved the cake.
So we've organized this, but we know what time it is. Hold up.
Let me tell you what happened. Me and my man started talking.
Mandy done had one too many. Hey, yo, I know y'all ain't over there talking about the bill.
This some tacky shit. I said, yo, chill.
She's right. I said, yo, chill.
She right on that. She right on that.
Y'all over there like 95s. So she like, no, no, no.
But we really over there having a conversation like, niggas don't even know their names. Right? Long story.
That's your man fault. Long story.
I paid a bill, we walk outside, I'm walking Mandy

to get a cake

because she called the Uber.

She like,

nigga,

why was you,

I said,

nigga,

I don't know them girls.

She said,

you lying.

They ordered the most shit?

Of course they did.

They saw him lick.

Yo,

so listen,

the funny part of that is,

and I said,

and I said,

dog,

this is the shit that

niggas be talking about sometimes. Did they say thank you? Yeah, they did.
How did they exit? That's worth a couple of dollars. Oh, they walked outside the house.
With their doggy bags. That's how they exited.
We all walked outside together. So you didn't say to them, like, who are you? You didn't say that? No, I was fuming about that.
It's too late. They already got you.
Being mad about it is really the problem. For real.
Yeah, it is. You got to just take it.
You got to be mad at home. You have no choice but to eat it.
What I'm saying is the level of entitlement. Like, niggas ain't reach like they was going fake pay.
It wasn't paid. I can picture you and your man because I can see you standing there.
Are the girls supposed to pay if they come out with you? No. But they didn't come out with him.
They came to the spot. Yes, they did.
They were in this homeboy car. Y'all got in the spot.
No, but they got into the car. I was debating it make me feel broker than I am.
No, but what's crazy is like it looked like it was a carpool situation. Like, can we ride with you going to the next spot? No.
Not him. His friends.
We don't know you. That's what I think it was.
That's my point. So if there's simply just a carpool situation, why does that now mean oh, you're sitting at the table with us? That's fucking weird.
Because his man was thirsty, that's why. It was dark in the pink car.
Was that what that was? I don't think he was trying to fuck. He ain't got to be trying to fuck.
I think it was what Mal was saying. Hold on, you could be thirsty and not trying to fuck.
That's true. True.
Really? Yes. Was it Uber or his car? Oh, yeah, niggas.
Was it Uber or his car? What? His car. Come on, man.
This is a cool story. crazy, my nigga.
Like, it just was the level of entitlement that somebody could come out with some strangers and eat hearty and not even remotely reach for- If your God put him in a fucking car, it's his fault. Ian, you don't know this man.
So, me, just my ego gonna be like, I'm not letting no strange niggas buy me no food. I'm gonna reach for my motherfucking money and attempt to pay for my shit.
Yeah, but you're a dude. No, no.
What is he? No, no, no, no, no. I know mad girls that reach for they wallet like, no, I'm gonna pay for my shit.
I don't know these niggas. I don't know y'all.
Not in the fivers. It's a video that just some chicks on TikTok or whatever.
From DC? Yes. I seen it.
Wait. And we're viral because they was complaining about the dating scene in DC talking about some, yo, we at the bar, we walk in, we looking like something, we got that shit on, and nobody bought us drinks.
And all they want to do is stare at us and then talk to us after we bought our own drinks. After we paid our tab is when the dudes started talking to us, and they're complaining about it.
Yes. They got to pay their dues, dude.
But what I'm saying is to women go out with the expectation with no money

yeah i don't even need to bring no money i mean well there was a point in time in which an attractive woman hold on because i'm no because i'm on the side of these two chicks should have should have definitely said what is our part in this bill because who the fuck are you but there was a point y'all don't need to go outside What world is that?

I hate to be that guy.

Y'all sound

crazy.

You sound crazy to me.

Which part of it is archaic? None of it. If you put the girl in your fucking car and transported...
You are paying for her date. You are correct.
Yes. I don't think so at all.
It depends on... He's right.
I would like us to finish that on Patreon. Done.
Okay, because I still have a lot of questions and comments about that situation. And we can play the clip of the other girls from D.C.
because it kind of goes into the same shit. Well, their clip is four minutes long.
Oh, well. We can get the gist of it and then comment on it.
No, you look cute in your little Target outfit. This is Aloe, bitch.
Don't even try and play me. I thought that's a rental company.

What?

Alamo.

Aloe.

I thought you were about to say Aloe Vera.

I thought you were about to say Aloe Vera.

I was about to say it's a clothes suit.

I like your outfit.

To him, Aloe is Target.

Yeah, I'm about to say, that's still fucking great.

Aloe nines by the baby clothes.

Aloe nines.

Aloe.

Aloe is cheap. That's in the middle of Target.

It's not cheap. It's not cheap.
Shit. Target ain't the cheapest.
I don't know. Aloe.
Aloe is cheap. That's in the middle of Target.
It's not cheap.

It's not cheap.

Target ain't the cheapest.

Target ain't cheap.

How much the outfit cost, man?

I mean, the hoodie was like a hundred.

You buy your own drinks at the bar, and then we move on.

Yes.

Sometimes I do.

Sometimes.

Yes.

Sometimes I do.

We got a yay leak.

We have a Kanye West leak. I don't know how you call this anymore It's an Instagram drop Oh that might be It's a new category It's not a leak That could be a drop Yeah Let's hear it It's been a long time coming Yeah I cut it off there Cause I thought it was AI For real? Yeah AI? AI? It's a few things I'm coming.
Yeah, I cut it off there because I thought it was AI. Huh?

Yeah.

AI?

It's a few things I'm overcoming.

Yeah, this sounds like that one.

Oh.

Oh yeah. Sitting here trying to redirect them Think about it every night And they try to stay away to keep my heart in here So don't take this district I'm still here in the trifecta It's been a long time coming How much longer is this? It's only a minute 45 and we're 45 through We don't gotta the whole thing though.
I don't think it's like no deep dive.

Is it a beat drop? No.

Alright buddy.

It's kind of reminding me of the old Kanye.

Yeah it is. The college drop out.

Yeah. I like it musically.

Have he go back to that. I like that.

Yeah.

It don't sound bad.

What?

Don't sound bad.

I'll wait till it's done. Yeah, same.
Should make me want to go turn on Sam Cooke. Yeah.
Shout out to you, though. But I do like the war going on between labels in the DSPs, maybe, or artists and the DSPs.
But someone can't be artists. Meta and the DSPs.
Meta and Spotify. Well, isn't the fact that they're dropping on IG kind of like a step into defiance against these DSPs? They can't do shit without the label.
So this would be like it could be label versus DSP or something. I don't think this is just the artist saying, hey, we're going to do something different over here.
Whoever it is versus the DSP, I like it. Something needs to change.
I don't think it's a test. They're saying that Glorilla released her album D to C.
Really? Let me see. I think we should be paying more attention to this.
I think I also saw Axe say that, or somebody say that labels were pretty upset about that J. Cole track.
Not labels. DSPs were upset about how that J.
Cole track was released. I wouldn't be surprised.
I think it's a test. I think it's a test that everybody's seeing how we can circumvent them because they're taking the lion's share of the bread.
I would hope so. Meadow's already in partnership with the labels, though.
What people aren't talking about enough is the beef that Tim Cook and Zuckerberg have. Ooh, tell me.
Spicy. I like this.
Is this a tin foil hat situation? This is real shit. Okay.
So when Zuckerberg got them little curls and shit and then went to that World Conference, him and shot the meta. That nigga ain't gonna fuck his relationship.
Shout the meta. Not at all.
Shout to Alvin, Martin, everybody there. That's the next territory that they want to dominate is the music industry.
So Daniel, Spotify, Zuckerberg, Tim,

they all got a little Clash of the Titans ego shit going on right now.

So Zuckerberg's been doing incredibly well,

turned that shit around two years ago.

And if everybody's on IG, why, and everyone's promoting on my platform,

why not circumvent and move some of y'all over here,

give you another little exclusive deal,

universalize some shit up, TikTok drop the ball. To the moon.
Genius. I was about to say, it sounds like the TikTok shit all over again.
Take a little into play, y'all not. And it ties into the Google Antitrust shit because of YouTube, which I don't think will happen, but if they become publicly traded, now it's going to be meta versus YouTube.
YouTube is going to be bigger than the TV.

I don't know if you saw it. You can, like, make

a real TV series and upload it on

YouTube now. What? Yeah.

Yeah. So it's a real battle of who's

going to run the music industry and the television

industry, like, in the next decade.

Huh. You can't

count Zuckerberg out, man. Nah,

he a different type of thinker.

So, Apple has been dropping the fucking ball for the last three years, too. Who has? Apple.
How so? They've been re-rocking the same phone for... Oh, yeah.
They've been doing that for 15 years. I don't think Apple cares.
They have to. Weren't they trying to put their feet in it at one point? They have to.
Why? Tell me why. Why they have to care about the phone? Oh, shit.
I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Why they have to care about the phone? Why they have to care about anything? Watch time. Listen time.
You guys know that shit's incredibly important. And for the first time in our adult life, Microsoft has become more popular than Apple.
People are falling out of love with the phone. They are.
Huawei has a fucking tri-fold phone in 4K. Yeah.
Give me some innovation. That's true.
Even the Apple fanboys are like, yo, when are we going to get something new? Ice. I didn't say that.
Ice said it. I didn't say that.
Apple Vision Pro. I get 33% of all y'all's business through the app store.

Why do I care?

But they're trying to fight that shit.

Because it's not enough.

And how long can you do that?

It's not going to sustain itself for a decade.

I do think they're going to...

You got to come out with a new pony.

That fight is going to come to the United States at some point.

It's already hit.

You already took care of it in Europe.

And Tesla may not be the one to do it.

But in 2011, Meadow was supposed to release a phone for free. They didn't want to do it for whatever reason.
Shout out to Chamath for coming up with the idea. But let's say if OpenAI or ChatGPT gives you a free smartphone, but I get to get all your data and upload it and improve our algorithms, that's going to hurt the market share.
It'll kill them. It's going to hurt.
I don't want to panic when shit gets rough. I want to see whenever the client...
They said they're not going to release a phone annually anymore. Yeah.
That's big. I was thinking that.
Once we got to the 16, I was like, so is it going to be every single year so we're eventually going to get to the number 25? No, they said every other year they're going to start releasing the phone. They're going to stop releasing the phone annually.
Yeah. So that's a revenue hit.
Yeah. And when so much of your revenue is tied to one product, it's tough, man.
It needs some more innovation. That's true.
Shout out to everybody at HQ. Breaking news.
Glorilla drops her new album, Glorious, direct to consumer and cuts out the DSP middleman, leaving them feeling some type of way. That from Trax this morning.
I mean, in a very smart move, I mean, artists are starting to realize they don't need a label anymore. I mean, a lot of these labels are farming everything out and they're just banks.
So why do you need them? I mean, in the DSP thing, I mean, you get lost in the sauce. If you tell Glorilla album on the DSP right now, is it D&S? It's there.
So I don't know what he's talking about. Yeah, I don't know what he's talking about.
That album is 1,000% on the DSP. Maybe physicals were DTC? That's possible? Glorilla can't cut the label out.
Yeah, the label's still going to be cut. I was wondering what the direct consumer is, like a physical album.

It can be.

Or it could be a digital download.

You could do digital.

Rest in Peace Brownsville Kai, actually, who just passed away.

He's been pioneering that for a while.

Yeah, Rest in Peace.

Yeah, that was horrible.

It was.

That was a really sad story.

It is.

Rest in Peace Kai.

Rest in Peace Kai.

Did somebody else pass?

I just heard him.

Got it.

That I know off the top of my head.

Got it, got it, got it.

Thank you. sad story.
Rest in peace, Kyle. Did somebody else pass? I just heard him.
Got it. That I know off the top of my head.
Got it, got it, got it. I think everybody's just testing it to see what could stick.
You know what I'm saying? We're going to throw shit at the wall if something sticks, then we're going to run with it. I think everybody's really trying to get away from the DSPs.
I think everyone should in this world where they're constantly evolving the algorithms and constantly evolving the pay rates. If you have a method to reach people directly, I'm doing that.
Even if you reach them on a smaller scale, your profit margin can be higher. Not even close.
The problem is when a lot of y'all are signed to the label who got the deal with the DSP. True.
That's where the problem falls at. So you gotta get some type of leverage to either get out of that deal,

we work that deal,

something to where now you got some control

of your music.

Because the label

don't give a damn

that you're not

making no money.

We cooking over here.

No, you're right.

But even if you don't

do it with the label,

you're gonna have to

pay meta for the push.

Yeah.

But if you're a big enough

artist, do you have to?

Yes.

Like if you Kanye,

I'm just saying, if you Kanye, or if you Drake, or if you Taylor Swift, enough artist, do you have to? Yes. Like if you Kanye.
They'll throw the shit out of you. I'm just saying if you Kanye or if you Drake or if you Taylor Swift and you go direct to consumer and you sell a million units.
If you sell two million units and you Taylor Swift, I don't know what her deal is because I've heard her deal is amazing at the label. But I'm just saying you could potentially have the same revenue stream that you did sign with the label.
But look, so we talk about with the meta situation like using Instagram and all of that, being that it's on my platform. Oh, you're going to pay me.
Yeah, you're going to pay me or they won't see it. You're going to pay me.
We'll hide you with a button. Yeah, that's a fact.
Yeah. It's all above my pay grade.
Although there is a lot of leverage, though, actually. If you talk about Taylor Swift or Drake or any of these, if they release on Meta, they might not need a cut

because we're getting all the data from all the traffic

you're going to bring for this one song or whatever.

You know what I mean?

That might be a loss that Facebook or whoever Meta is willing to take.

I don't think the labels are going to take this line down, though.

They're going to come up with something.

Of course.

It's a cat and mouse game.

So when somebody's going to something new come up,

they're going to find a way to infiltrate and take it over.

You just got to keep going. Yeah, I'm happy

you got a lot of music, yo.

Me too. That shit nasty.

That shit is for this. Music business.

That shit, absolutely.

I want to enshrine this

fucking podcast. I feel like it's

just about to be the culmination of everything

this podcast has said since

inception. Absolutely.
You can just predict when shit is about to get bad. I feel for the artists out there.
Yeah, I do too. Again, I do feel for the artists.
Yeah, it makes it confusing too. Like, if you don't know where it's going, what am I aiming for? You know what I mean? That's a good point.
Where is the money getting made? What do I do? Like, yo, if you're an artist today, right, do you even know, like in any business, like if you own a restaurant, you can say, yo, I sold this much jerk chicken. I sold this much oxen.
Like, I know where my revenue streams are coming from, so now I'm going to put more focus over here. If you're an artist, do you even really understand how you get paid? I think they just get a check in the mail or, you know what I mean? Like, do they really understand how it is that they get paid? Meek spoke to it.
Well, forget how you get paid? I think they just get a check in the mail. You know what I mean? Do they really understand how it is that they get paid? Meek spoke to it.
Forget how you get paid. They don't even know what they selling.
As an artist, you get told a number from them. Which is crazy.
You did this. You had this many streams.
You don't know what you're doing. I put a song out.
I don't know what that song did.

All I know is what y'all told me you did.

What y'all told me.

Shit could have sold.

They just told you.

Pump it up went gold 20 years later.

That don't make no sense.

I beat Chaka Khan.

Yeah.

I beat Chaka Khan.

I'm every woman.

It's not on purpose by the music industry.

Because if I own 30% of Spotify and got Daniel's hands behind his back,

now I can take my hands off it and say, it wasn't us. It's them.
While I own 30% of Spotify and got Daniel's hands behind his back now I can take my hands off it and say it wasn't us it's them while I own that while some of the music industry shit is falling apart that's crazy son same as Bankhead this shit is interesting it really is I love it I love it this shit is I like the artists out there now that's trying to figure it out like the ones that you can see there. There's certain ones out there you can see that's like, they see it too and they're like, all right, let me try to get ahead of this and get with the next move.
That's the interesting part to me to watch. But the rest of the ones who just are really just being sheep and got to follow whatever's next, it's over with.
All right, since y'all in your geeky mature bag, let's get right to TD Bank. Shit, okay.
TD Bank busted. You did it.
That's Ish Bank. That ain't my bank, nigga.
You left it? They got you with that. We're open on Sundays.
Yo, Sunday's here until 7? That shit is huge. That worked.
That worked. They had my business for a while.
America's most convenient convenient bank. Yeah.
That shit is convenient. This was right there on Sundays.
Nah, that shit is convenient. I bet it is convenient.
The mob need to get to the bank on Sunday. Right after church.
TV bank has accused them of not accused. Not accused.
It's over. They done.
Proven that they have been money laundering and had to pay, what, three bills? Three billion dollars. Three billy.
Small fine. That's nothing.
That's insane. No, the crazy part is,

this is the shit that,

ain't nobody going to jail.

That's the, that's the,

that's the,

that's the,

that's the Rico, my nigga.

You are washing money

for the cartel.

Yeah.

You are an active participant

in a criminal enterprise.

So who do they pay

that three bill?

The SEC?

Probably,

or the government

some way,

shape or form.

Look at you ready

to go in there

in the office,

brawlers.

Look at you ready to go. Who do I, brawless.
Look at you ready to go.

Who do I gotta aim

these cannons at? Oh my god.

Hey, you see how she's

changed? The little aloe outfit.

Gotta keep the peace.

It's a cost of new business. J.P.
Morgan got caught

with. No, they didn't.

No, they didn't. You're doing a lot of

shout outs. Gotta keep the relationship

intact. They didn't get caught with nothing.

They didn't confess to nothing. They didn't get

indicted for nothing. These niggas got

God bless you. No, they didn't.
You're doing a lot of shout outs. Gotta keep the relationship intact.
They didn't get caught with nothing. They didn't confess to nothing.
They didn't get indicted for nothing. These niggas got convicted and had to pay $3 billion.
That's a different ballgame than being some alleged accusation. Yeah.
Yeah, but most of the banks have, I mean, Bank of America, there was that whole thing. HSBC, there was that whole thing.
If you was the CEO of Budden in the process and they caught you funneling money for the mafia, your ass would be under somebody's jail. Joe Budden is not breaking the law.
I know. We know.
I'm not doing none of that shit. You shouldn't mean? Occasionally.
Different rules for different rules. No, I'm not breaking none of breaking.
But you get what I'm saying? Like, yo, dog, the CEO don't do no time? Maybe it happened and it wasn't on his watch. Somebody's watching.
Somebody has some eyes, my nigga. Machines did not do this.
The same way that the music business has eyes, but nobody goes to jail for a lot of the shit that happens there. They don't get convicted.
Some of them got convicted. Four.
This shit different. This is different.
We gonna talk, we gonna talk. No, no, no.
I'm just saying $3 billion of fine. But don't nobody go to jail.
That's crazy. That's nuts to me, B.
It's costing no business, man. You tried.
It's above our pay grade. Absolutely.
But I think that sucks. Me personally.
What suck more? That nobody went to jail or that them two girls got that shit off on you and your stupid ass? Which one hurt? I feel like they skimmed me. You in the club just standing on principle.
Yeah. You niggas.
But that's part of my realization about Ij and Imani. I'm glad you said Imani was there.
Anywhere that Imani is, I shouldn't go. That's funny.
Why you say that? Level. Because it's that.
Yeah. It's that.
Like, he liked that. Do you think TD has done more harm than the music business? And it stole more money? What'd you say? Do you think the music business in aggregate has done I'm not taking up for TD or Sinaloa It sounds like it.
Clear it up. No, I'm saying no I don't think, but you gotta think about the time limit that the music business has been predatory.
That shit has been going on since the 30s. TD Bank Yeah, TD Bank is relatively new in comparison to that Yeah But what I'm saying is Across the board When you start talking about Justice and legality If that was anybody else That got caught And admitted to smuggling Cartel money my nigga Yeah Someone's doing something Somebody go to jail What the fuck is we talking about Ain't nobody go to jail? That's just, that's crazy to me.

That's all I'm saying.

Like, I understand the concept.

But they usually work out deals for the payout, right?

So you pay us this much and nobody go to jail. They usually work shit out like that.

They usually make someone fall on some type of sword.

They said El Chapo, who wasn't even him,

had more money than Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

He wasn't even a top nigga.

Yeah, yeah.

Miles was the real one.

What are we talking about? Yeah. And it was all in TD Bank? No, I'm just saying.
No, I'm saying. Just imagine how much money they were smuggling if they had more money than Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.
He about to go sign up right now. You want to go to Mexico, right? With a 10.
Hey, hey, chopo. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's just a different type of money, yo.
What's the cost of business for them to have a legal business here? Sure. It's trade-offs, man.
You ain't going to do all that crying over there. All that crying you be doing.
You might. You might.
They will knock off, nigga. Them tears might get some results.
Yeah. Oh, well, that don't happen.
No, it does not. Oh, that's stupid, yo.
I'd like to hear about y'all too. But after I, cause I was, that was, I really wanted to know what was going on with y'all on Sunday.
If I wasn't busy, I'd have drove over there the whole boat. And just stalked the situation? Did you come and sat down? I just sat in, but...
Would you let them know you was there? Yeah, I'd have been at the table, but I saw enough of them. I saw enough of them.
Sunday Hoboken brunch. Yeah, you go ahead.
I'll get the call. I'll get the call.
You know everything that's going on. Not everything.
I'd be the last to know certain things. You're not.
But once I find out, I do try to be proactive and be of service. Don't get quiet when I say I'm of service.
Y'all niggas don't support me enough. You are a great mediator.
Thank you. No, he's not.
Now it seemed like I was fishing for the... Now it seemed like I was begging for the compliment.
He's not a great mediator. Who ain't a great mediator? Not you.
You don't believe that. To squash something? Yeah.
No, I don't think so. For real? I don't think you're a great mediator.
I don't think you put just... I think that you, like, if it's mediation from one to five as a mediator, I think you'd be like four.
Oh, that's good. No, nigga, it's not.
So one is good. You're saying five is bad, nigga.
Oh, five is bad. I thought five was good.
Sorry, one to ten. I'm sorry.
You are not. You don't believe that.
You pardon right now. No, I don't think you're a great mediator.
A great... You could get, with two people arguing, you could get in and make all parties calm down.
Yeah. No, I don't think so.
You don't know what to say. You don't know what to say.
You just like, yo, hold on. Yo, wait.
That's not mediation. Yo, wait, hold on.
You start looking at your head. No, that's not mediation.
What's going on here? Yeah, what's going on? That's your favorite shit. He slowed down.
That's your favorite shit. What's going on? What is happening? What is happening? The last time two people was arguing up here, you said, yo, just don't break my table.
Yeah. Just now.
That's not mediation. Just then.
You want to let niggas get in. Just then.
But I'm not mad at like a quick scuffle if nothing breaks. That's not mediation.
That's not mediation though. No, because I'm going to break it up when it gets...
It's not mediation, nigga. After we decide who would have won, you got to break it up a little bit.
That's not mediation. Hey, Mel stormed out.
I called her. No, you did not.
No, you fucking did not. No, you wasn't.
Actually. I was trying to save her.
No, not that day. No, yeah.
Two days later. We watched her.
And not the next day. Definitely.
Ooh, but let Mel have done something. I get a call with a motherfucking witness.
We saw your phone go bing, bing, bing, bing. I was literally like, hello? Yeah.
Right on there. I saw your phone doing that.
And you looked. and he just looked at me and got mad at me.
I told Mel I was going to call. I'm sorry, audience, but we need our little therapy today.
I told Mel I was going to call. In the text while you up here.
Yo, tomorrow I'm going to hit you. Right? And then she said, oh, great.
That's awesome because I'm leaving the dentist at nine, and then I'm going to the dog vet.

So after three, I should be clear.

Nigga, by 3K, I'm beefing with my girl, dog.

And now, Hunger Games time.

I love, I love a little.

It was a good beef, too.

This was going to last a few days.

You had to go archive a few times.

Oh, you want to play?

You can't do that. So needless to say, I didn get a call.
We talked about that using. She did too.
Huh? No, we both did. Mutual archive? Yeah, it was a mutual archive.
Yeah. But ain't nobody cares.
So once ain't nobody cared, then we made up. You did that before? I'll go right in the break.
Go back, something new, come back. You ain't doing no archive.
Yeah, I'll archive a bunch. You gotta hit the archive.
Yeah. Yeah, archive.
That shit get rough? You gotta go archive the good one, too, your favorite pick of y'all. Yeah.
How many pictures you archive? A birthday pick. Red dress, archive.
You guys archive the picks? Yeah, we archive. She's so old school.
She thought you were talking about archive. Archive.
Set. Polo rings.
Did you put them away in your closet? You put the photo album in the show? She's so old. She's old as hell.
Mel. Oh, man.
Okay, now I get it. We're dark.
No, but you're not a good comedian. I think that if you could...
Oh, but wait. My point was, now that me and my girl is beefing, you get to the back burner.
I was already there. Ooh.
Well, get further back now. I will, yes.
So now when I'm done beefing, I'll give you a call. I did.
Y'all had the brunch. And we'll hear about it in two seconds.
Let me just get this out of the way. Time for my favorite part of the show.
Price pick! Well, yeah, yeah. You didn't say nothing? Go ahead.
I don't care. It's over for that.
It's over. Don't worry and Jaguars.
We know. We know.

Some of y'all look at this and say, oh, I could just sit there and talk. Dog.
Yeah, good luck. That's it.
Take it away. Come on, Melissa.
Melissa I'm clearing out Y'all go ahead and get your shit off We discussed this Yeah get your shit off Oh you got a script? No But Melissa Ladies first Um okay It's not an age thing neither I don't know exactly how much everybody How much they know Well you unfollowed unfollowed me on Instagram. I sure the fuck did.
I sure the fuck did. She archived it.
You unfollowed me and somebody posted, that's how I found out. Then it's like, oh, okay.
Yo, wait. I just want to know, why did people go searching for that? Like, how did they know to go searching for it? See, and I want to call that out.
What? Because I feel like you've been doing this long enough to know that people search for that. But how would they know at that particular time? I just went on a whole rant not even two weeks ago saying how you still have to follow people that you have beef with.
Facts. Because people are watching to see if the unfollow happens.
That's a big thing. So you just was emotional and hit the unfollow on your co-worker.

I knew nothing about any of this part. Yeah, that's how I found out.

I'm finding this out.

I was quiet about it.

I mean, you mentioned that, you know, you threw little jokes out there.

And I told her that.

Like, Joe would say, you can't do the same shit that you did the other day.

This is all dude cash.

You was throwing little seeds and stuff.

But when I went home, they said, yo, Melissa Ford unfollowed Queens Flip. What's going on? I said, huh? I went and she did on Twitter and Instagram.
Oh, damn. Need I remind you that how you interact with your coworkers is a huge part of the gig.
But go ahead. Yeah, Melissa Ford.
I mean, I just, okay, fine. Maybe I was slightly emotional about the situation and I unfollowed you for a second.
I followed you back. No, you didn't.
Aww. I think I did.
You're a liar. Okay, listen, I don't know what I was going through last night, but apparently I'm threatening people.
I'm posting definitions. A lot was going on.
So I think that I followed you back last night. Got it.
But I just have to check up on myself because that was like, that was really lovely. Tell us the fuck out is what happened you bugged the fuck out and I couldn't even look at you because my neck was fucked up so I just was like who is this motherfucker talking to okay yes and so can you give them some Because bugged out, they may think that I was loud and aggressive.

No, on this day, he was not loud.

He was not loud, which is what made it even more frightening.

Yes.

Yeah, because you were quiet.

There you go, Karen words.

What?

Frightening.

Frightening.

But go ahead.

You did that shit, and I had to hear nothing but Karen words from Melissa all week describing your behavior. Okay.
It has insidious. See? Insidious.
That's tough. Wow.
You put me in a tough one, man. Yeah.
It felt very dark. Yeah.
It was very dark. Yeah.
And your commentary was just, it was not nice. You were not nice to me.
Yes. You were not nice.

I know.

And so I packed up and walked the fuck up out of here.

You did.

What do y'all think about men who move off of hearsay?

That's a good question.

Think it's a mistake?

Yeah.

But not if it fits.

That's how I feel.

That's what hurts.

You still need some level of clarity.

We got to confirm.

Mm-hmm.

I move over hearsay if it fits. Me.
Like, if I hear somebody say something that he said and it fits him, I'm going to be mad at him. If it fits him, I'm going to be mad.
Why don't you ask first? Because it got to fit the character of people. No.
Because sometimes people can tailor some bullshit to saying. True.
True. True.
True. You know, I've had people say that I said things, and because it was sarcastic or whatever, it was kind of intelligent and witty, they were like, oh, I could see Melissa saying that.
I'm like, but I didn't. I think it's hypocrisy because I wouldn't want anybody to judge me over anything as well.
I mean, it's just, it's a thin line. Exactly.
I wouldn't want anybody to say that. I was just complaining about that recently.
Flip heard some shit in the street. And got his panties in a bunch.
Got it all, man. Oh, shit.
Came back, totally barked on Mel. That's not in a bar.
Not in a loud and aggressive way, but totally got the win-off on Mel, brought up some shit from the pod three weeks ago before he left. Like, niggas remember what happened three weeks ago.
I did. Like, God, and then charged his car up on off time at the company building while we discussed it.
That wasn't wrong. I don't think that was wrong when I did.
The charge and try to talk to you about every part of the problem. This shit is a show.
It really is. I mean, this shit is a show.
I mean, it's not until all the homies is like, yo, Flip, you shouldn't have did it at the job. If you had a problem with mail, you should have pulled it to the side.
I took it to the side. I didn't argue with anybody.
I said, I accept it. I mean, especially Michael Paul made it worse because he's so sophisticated and shit.
He seems so disappointed. What did he do? You did that in front of company.
What was it? Yes. Sitting right between you guys.
He was like, oh, God. He said, you know, I can't judge you, but I wouldn't have.
It's just the way he started talking and it hit my soul. I said, well, I understand.
He hit my soul a little bit.

You do things different, right?

So I know when you're upset, because you have this look on your face.

You start to turn red.

But then you try to play it off with the camera, and you're good at that.

Who?

You.

Me, okay.

Yeah, but every once in a while, you'll give me the look.

When your phone was going off, buzzing with Melissa.

I don't know why she would text you during the part, but your shit was going off. You said, you motherfucker.
Like, you just, you just, it was human, but you handed it well. And it goes back to the point who I think is a better mediator, I would have to say, Imani is.
Why? Because even during that segment, he was like, yo, flip, you was wrong. You shouldn't have did it like that.
I wouldn't have done it like that. And he gets into details to try to break things down in the moment.
Imani is a great mediator. Yes.
Imani is a great mediator. He was like, yo, that was wrong.
I don't aspire to be the level of mediator that Imani is, just so we're clear. Got it.
Got it. Never.
You may not want to talk to him? Just know I don't aspire to be that level of. Corey is a bad mediator because he insults you.
Yo, nigga, that was some bitch-ass shit.

Fuck out of here.

Corey, chill, nigga.

Like, nah.

You niggas is emotional.

Fuck out of here.

That's how Corey talks.

I like that you got

all variations of everybody's opinion.

Not that.

I mean,

because, you know,

I know when you like to leave

and no disrespect,

you think, like,

everybody was on your side.

Oh, that's nice.

They was.

I appreciate that.

Nobody,

they understood my frustration.

They were just like,

you should have spoke to me.

You should have did that.

You had seven hours, motherfucker.

Yeah, I was quiet.

Thank you. Oh, that's nice.
They was. I appreciate that.
Nobody, they understood my frustration. They were just like, you should have spoke to me.
You should have done that. You had seven hours, motherfucker.
Yeah, I was quiet. Seven hours to pull me aside outside and say something to me.
That was why I wanted to punch you right in your face. And they just left the petting farm.
For real. That's what the funny part is.
Fucking kissing goats and shit. Don't go to the petting farm and be best of friends feeding goats and rabbits and then come here and do that and that's the last thing I know is that act like this is the petting farm like all that friendly goo goo ga ga bullshit that y'all was on do that here don't come here and fucking oh my lord yo y'all trying to give high blood pressure.
The doctor came here and told y'all niggas my blood pressure. Yeah, well.
So anyways, we worked it out over the weekend. We had Ian as a mediator.
Ian Schwartzman, not Ian Dunlap, but you would have been fantastic. Ian wanted to, you know, Mel would say some crazy shit.
Ian Dunlap wouldn't have been a great fucking mediator. What? Yes, he would.
Oh, please. He's just cool with all the ops.
And he cool, so you can't say nothing to him. What ops I'm cool with? He ain't mediated nothing with none of my ops.
I tried. I've tried.
You don't want to hear nothing from any of the ops. Publicly and privately, you know that.
It's up for life with those failures. Oh, shit.
Fuck is you talking about?

I don't want to mediate nothing, nigga.

Anyway.

Okay, anyways.

Well, the other Ian, Ian Schwartzman, he mediated.

Yeah, he wanted to laugh at a couple of things Mel was saying,

because Mel is funny.

When she gets emotional, she starts saying something.

She turns into a white woman for real.

Yeah. It turns into a white woman, but, you know, we got through it.
I'm glad y'all are, bro. I'm glad.
Thank you. Yeah, good.
Thank you. We pieced it up.
And, you know, he said that I will not be getting kicked to the curb. He said that he feels that, you guys got some things you guys are talking about where Ian and Joe feel like I'm trying to get fired.
So they said they're not giving in to that request.

I have to do something violent.

Well, I did say that if I were Joe and Ian,

I would make anger management courses mandatory for you.

Yeah.

Yeah, you said that.

Oh, yeah, I'm white.

She is.

Fuck.

Does anybody agree with that?

Ian agreed with her. She's white.
She's white too. It's okay.
It's okay. All right, so I'm glad that you guys made up.
Thank you. We need to cast, you know, group hug.
No, okay. Yeah, y'all just hug.
We're good. Well, we did we did.
Yeah, good. There we go, good.
Daisy was happy to see me, but she tried to keep Daisy away. Like, she wasn't a batman.
She the type of parent that keeps a kid away from you. Don't go in.
Don't go to your father. Till the police come.
But people were thinking that my threat was towards you. I love it.
I thought it was too, honestly. I love it.
We had a conversation. It was great.
So wait, why did you tweet threats? Question mark. I don't know, because it popped up on my timeline.
I just wanted to tweet that. Okay, you guys.
Okay, sir. Got it.
Want to get into Sam Mitchell, Doxon, Homeboy, live on air? That was funny. Speaking of professionality in the workplace.
Well, Homeboy was playing with him. He was.
He shouldn't have played with him. Now, I saved this clip 90 million times, so let me find the right one.
It was like three different, you know? Oh, yeah. See, there we go.
There we go, because you played with him. Yo, niggas got to be careful in making inappropriate jokes at work.
True. Agreed.
Yeah, don't say. Especially when you're on air, like live.
What that mean? What that mean? Nigga shut up You think I make inappropriate jokes at work? You do too About y'all? I don't ever think I make a joke that makes one of y'all want to hit me Wait I'm wrong Wait y'all want to hit me? Wait I need a mediator I'm a mediator. I'm a mediator.
I'm wrong. Wait, y'all want to hit me? Wait, wait.
I need a mediator. A mediator.
A man. A man.
A man. A man.
Oh, shit, I know A man was here. A man, we might need some mediation.
You want to hit me? He was here and he heard that. Oh.
That was close. Just don't break the tables.
Sam Mitchell. I ain't breaking the tables.
Sam, Sam Mitchell, he shouldn't have made this joke. This is inappropriate to make to your co-worker live on air, but go ahead.
Let me let him get his shit off. What do you think about the fact that Steve Curtis is a good coach? Yeah, I saw that.
The coaches, the coaches don't get medals, I guess. It just tells you what, what, international, how they bad your coaches.
Not at all. I'm surprised.
A lot of coaches don't get a medal, I guess. It just tells you what international, how they value coaches.

Not at all.

I'm surprised. How the coaches don't get a gold medal.

I'm surprised coaches get a paycheck for this show.

You know, I think like maybe you should do this pro bono, my friend.

You know, last time I looked at my check, it's pretty close.

So, hey, I'm taking donations.

Why don't you come up off some of that money you got since you're over there bragging about it. I'm bragging about it.
Well, I mean, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry.
Did you rent your beach house out down in Florida during the hurricane? Uh-oh. Let's talk about it.
Do I need to go on? How about your townhouse over in Buckhead? Hey, what's going on? You want to call me out? Yeah, let's play. You screaming broke and hungry.
Let's just see it. I know what you're having where you live, young fella,

so you need to stop.

I think we have snitches on the show today.

No, we don't have snitches.

We have truth tellers.

Sam Mitchell.

We have truth tellers.

Sam, what do you think about?

You're the one who cried poor and destitute up here

when do I need to keep going on further, more and more,

or do you want me to stop right now? How about we go to this game

between Sacramento Kings and

Golden State Warriors? Wait, you're going to stop

messing with me on national TV.

I done told you about that. See, we talked

already. Hey, do I need to give out the address

because you're not at home right now.

Look at this.

Look, they cut to the screen. A game in Seattle.

Yes! I missed that place.

They should still have

an NBA team. I love

Thank you. Look at this.
Look, they cut to the screen. A game in Seattle, Sam.
I missed that place.

They should still have an NBA team.

I love Seattle, one of the best NBA cities ever.

They won a championship.

The fact that they do not have a team, I don't understand it.

That needs to be an NBA team in Seattle. Well, for tonight, they...

In the history of championships and now an Olympic gold medal.

3568 North Port Drive,

San Destin, Florida.

That's fucking crazy.

I think that's your house.

No, that's your house, Chris.

Oh, that's your...

Why didn't people like that?

There we go.

All right.

That's crazy.

That's insane.

You got to leave people to fuck alone sometimes.

Did he get in trouble with that? We haven't heard about it. They calling for him to get fired.
They try to clean it up. People calling for him to get fired.
Yeah. Leaking the address is nuts.
Is that his real house? I don't know. He said that's his rental property.
Uh-oh. Flip investigates.
There you go. You got to go to Florida.
Hey. What do y'all think about this? I think that dude Chris was completely out of line.
I think so. I think he was.
When you started. I think Doxon is wrong, though.
Doxon is fucking insane over that little criticism. Yeah.
But look, it depends on, that might have just been the straw. Yep.
Because he said, yo, I've asked you time and time again to chill out, trying to embarrass me. You get what I'm saying? So stop playing me and also the age difference too like the real sign of disconnect older niggas don't care when you older you don't care you're not some older niggas don't tolerate certain levels of disrespect I don't think homeboy is familiar with Sam Mitchell's game at all Sam Mitchell I'm not familiar neither Sam Mitchell fought Vince Carter oh he fighting nigg? Sam Mitchell has a reputation.
I don't want to say what the rep is because I'm unsure of it. Just an old head, hard-nosed dude that don't play that shit.
You can't say certain shit to some of these old... The shit that niggas say today, these young kids say today? And honestly, if I'm Sam Mitchell, right? Like just listening to the context of what he's saying I don't know

this Chris dude from a hole

in the wall but it sounds like he got the

bulk of the budget

and Sam Mitchell did not

so for you to make that joke

on air

when I was referring to coaches

and how they're viewed internationally

and how we should

be getting paid when we're not for you

to say I'm surprised they paid you for this show

he said that? Yes. That's what he was saying.
That's what the dude said. I'm surprised coaches get paid.
You should be doing this pro bono. You should be doing this for free.
Oh yeah, he turned up on them. But you can tell.
And again, you can tell like, yo, I warned you before. That's the thing.
He ain't just jump out the window. That old nigga will fuck that young nigga up though.
quick you can tell I ain't my fault And again You can tell like Yo I warned you before That's the thing He ain't just jump out the window That old nigga Will fuck that young nigga up though Quick You can tell He ain't even playing with him Oh it's not over Yo dawg When the old head nigga Start pointing at you They be one step away From throwing that hook That nigga start Sometimes people I guess when you're older You have a lot more patience. You can tolerate more.

You appreciate the situation that you

in or the gig, but you can take

but so much. Old head niggas don't be having the patience.

It's the opposite. And I am

against Doxon. Yeah, I think

he went too far, but... He wanted

to show the nigga, you ain't gonna do nothing if I put your address

out here. You ain't gonna do nothing.
He punked him.

Well, just stop.

I'm prepared to go where I need to go. And you're not home right now.
You at work? You said you're not home. That shit is a little foul, though.
If something happened to his house, then what? Yeah, that shit's foul. Who becomes responsible? See, but that is real dachshund.
I think sometimes the definition of dachshund be even unclear. Too loose, yeah, yeah.
I didn't even know what that that meant. Doxing is when you put somebody's address out there.
I didn't know. Public info, phone number, question number, job address, any private information that you make public.
It's a crime, though, right? Isn't it a crime? It's a crime, but I mean, who about to go through all of that? Unless it's to that nature. Yeah.
If you put my address out on TV, then, yeah, I might follow up on that one. But this other shit? It was a live broadcast? Yeah.
Okay, I was wondering why they didn't edit it. What? What's the station? I don't know.
Maybe NBA TV. Oh, okay, got it, got it, got it.
Because it's going on at halftime of the games, shit like that. So they'll be giving the commentary.
Have any of y'all ever been doxxed? Yes. No.
Nigga. What? I've been doxxed.
I don't know. Niggas came to my crib before.
Yes. I know about you getting doxxed.
You saying? Yeah. Your house? What happened? I know people came to your house.
Yeah. How you think they got the address? I thought they were your neighbor.
Niggas could follow you and get your address. So they came to your house and did what? No.
And said, oh shit, the nigga ish really do-lick. Made him strip.
Somebody rang his bell and said that. Made him strip.
Get naked right now, nigga. Or else.
Or else. Or else.
I ended up getting mail sent to my house. Ooh.
Well. Yo, that's not funny, my nigga.
That ain't funny. A mail stripper or mail? Well, okay, maybe a package.
Well, yeah, you keep getting packages sent places. Well, no, that, I don't know that person.
My address got out and this guy decided to send me magnums in a dildo. Mel, stop it.
What year was this, Mel? 2013. 2013 or 2012, yeah.
And what did the note say? Get ready. For real.
I see you. What color was the dildo? Black or white? I thought that you could use this.
Oh, shit. And I was...
He knew you was uptight, too? I was... Fuck you.
He was being thoughtful. It was a big white dildo with magnums.
Oh, he knew you. Yeah, he knew you.
Even that sort of brand. It was...
Was it at the time you shot that show? The show that you shot? Was it at that time? Maybe. Yeah, maybe.
She's been famous a long time. Maybe around that time.
But yeah, it was lube, magnums, and a dildo. I was just like, I don't really understand the connection.
Safe sex. With a dildo? You never know.
I think that's the safe sex that you can have. You can't get burnt from a dildo.
What? This got a question. Maybe it was used.
What? This got a question. You kept it.
No, you fucking suck it. You you lied I kept the condom you lied you tried him out I did not try him out you gotta be a sick fucker to try out a deal with those sick of a random stranger I did it was a little too big so no it was what it? It was like 14 inches.

What's up with these niggas not willing to pay? It's like, are you challenging these niggas to come out and talk about your private business? Why y'all niggas just don't pay? That is true. Right? Unless you feel like if I pay, I'm going to get exposed anyway.

Like, why you got to pay homeboy? I don't know. Well, I mean, is he out? Same reason why the niggas do it with chicks.

You think a bitch is solid,

Not just that,

that goes into why

Same girls, yeah.

That's a fact.

They know they don't talk.

the best defense

is to just be faithful, y'all,

honestly. Yeah.
Or take a break. Or you don't get caught up.
Go bust and move and come back. Or have a great rebuttal for every time you get caught.
Nah, that's too much work. A rebuttal for the bus sex is crazy.
There's some people in here that have great rebuttals. Nigga, you can't catch it, man.
They start. I don't want to point no elbows at niggas, but, you know, these niggas got great rebuttals, and I'm pointing my elbows forward.
Not at, look, this way. Not you and not you.
I'm just saying. Your elbows are shaped funny.

Yeah, you stupid.

You said on the break.

Take a break.

Take a break,

tapping.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

The worst.

How do they fix the break? The worst. You still don't come don't leave it over a busted move.
Yeah, an apology might fix it. That is the worst.
But then how long can that, how can that, how long? Okay, all right, so listen. If you argue with your significant other, right, and you have a plan, like, all right, if this argument go the way I think it's going to go, I'm going to get my shit off for the next three weeks.
Right? So look. So look.
But then if they apologize and become humble, how long should their apology last? Well, it's your job to keep up the fight. Listen to this fucking defensive nigga.
I don't believe that you actually changed this time. You shared this shit before.
The best apology is change behavior and it's going to take me a minute to see and assess who this changed. I love this shit.

Uncle E and Star, we all went out to eat. And I started...
I was young, nigga, like 2009 or whatever, 10. And I said, yo, who's going to pay for what? Nigga, everybody pull me outside.
Nigga, we don't do that where we from. And I never did that again.
We don't do that. We don't ask about paying a bill, nigga.
If you got it, you got it. If I got it, I got it.
It's a tough lesson to learn. No, that's a real grown man lesson.
He pulled me outside. What's that shit called? That restaurant in Harlem? Sylvia's.

Y'all was on a hot date and didn't know it somehow.

But you got to get mad at your man.

It's why,

no disrespect to your man,

but not that he went half.

If he went half

or a little more,

then it's double-born.

How do we even get to the 20%

if these are your joints?

I know.

True.

Yeah.

I think that he realized

it was ugly

when they got in the light.

Yeah, that's what it was. That wasn't ugly.

I watched Madlock religiously.

Joe, Madlock was in, son,

as you got older? No, niggas liked it. It was great.
You's been on the murder, death, kill for a long time. Such a good show.
I could argue that a lot of these crime shows kind of stole Matlock's sauce. They did.
Really? Yeah, they did. In terms of the way he solved the crime.
The way they solved him. Yeah, that's what I was about to say.
The last two minutes. Hey, he dragging that to the last two minutes.

Fuck y'all. Let's see what else is important or unimportant out there.
Life Jennings says that he tried to do a tiny desk. Tiny desk says that he is not a big enough act to do tiny desk.

That's not fair.

Where does everybody stand on that?

That's not fair.

They've had smaller artists on their books.

Like?

I'll bring it up.

I don't know him off the top because I go to look at him.

I'm like, I don't really know what that is.

In like...

How many records Life Gen had?

Or like in another genre that you just might not have been familiar with. No, that Life Jennings album was an amazing album.
Classic album? Right there. Hood classic.
Right there. It's right there.
It's right there. For sure.
Hood classic for sure. We're all about the city.
Come on, Jimmy. You're a music buff.
Tell me what comedy the album was. Nobody calls it a classic and I love Life Jennings.
No, I said it's right there. I said it's a hood classic.
That First Life Jenny album was definitely.

I won't argue that,

but classic,

I don't know.

It's not a classic.

And maybe the smaller acts

that did Tiny Desk,

because I'm sure Parks

is right about that,

maybe they were relevant

current smaller acts.

That may be true.

Like life is from my day.

Mm-hmm.

Our day.

Or when did they go?

Did they go away for a while?

Life, yeah,

but I don't think he ever returned. Yeah.
Where? Because he just went on tour. Well, he's on tour currently, I think.
But not just that. When did those smaller acts do it? Like, what Tiny Desk was then? No, they're still...
I don't want to sound like I'm shitting on nobody, so I'm not going to call out their names. But there's a bunch on here that...
They have 8,000 views. You know what I'm saying? Like, they're biggest of artists.
But were they artists that had something kind of going on at the time? As someone who keeps tabs on shit outside of even hip-hop or whatever in the music industry, I'm not familiar with a lot of these artists. And some of them I am familiar with.
It's like, they don't really... I don't know how they got up here.
No disrespect. I'm on the fence.
I'm on both sides of this argument. I do do agree I think Tiny Desk has had smaller acts and let life come up there that platform looks like life live band a guy that can really sing and he's got enough music to where if you're unfamiliar with some of these maybe you gain some new audience now it could be a situation I'm sorry to cut you it could be a situation where it it just didn't come out the greatest and they just used that as an excuse.
You think they taped it? He made it sound like he reached out and they said no. I'm sorry.
They turned it down. Now, on the other side, I do think that I do think that companies reserve the right to run how they feel like running.
For sure. Or on that side.
They do a great job over there. Or just evaluate the return.
It's a lot of artists that be trying to come up here. And, I mean, there's no nice way to say it.
But, no, you're not big enough to come up here. You either got to be big enough to come up here, which I don't want to sound like that's that, that part of the criteria.
So, or you got to be liked or people got to want to get, we got to want to know you want to get to know you liked your song or something like that. But other than that, I'd rather pour into my cast than pour into one of y'all out there.
That's just, Hey, it's one we're overlooking too, that it could be with life and and not saying this is the case but he could have pissed somebody off. True.
Because this is a relationship that's what it sounds like. That's just the excuse that they gave him but whoever we got a relationship with might not fuck with you.
This don't even sound like how Tiny Desk would turn you down. Right.
Unless what you're saying is kind of accurate. It could be somebody on your team.
It could be because you'll have somebody up here based on a relationship. Often.
You know what I'm saying? Skane call you or somebody call you that you... And it got to be a relationship.
That's home team. And it got to be some type of relationship.
You know, Scane called me the other day about something.

That's my man.

Gotta do it.

That's my man.

Gotta do it.

You know, I love Dollar and his wife and Gabby.

Let me see, let me see, let me see.

What else?

What else is important or unimportant?

Life Jennings, R goes after you.

Hopefully you do get that.

Yeah.

What else is important or unimportant?

We never talked about it. Kendrick Perkins having his NIL deal company.
And I wanted to get y'all thoughts on it. That's amazing.
You say it's amazing? That's an amazing concept. All right.
For those who don't know. Tell me.
You know, the college athletes can now sign a name, image, and likeness deal. Okay.
So Kendrick Perkins is starting a company where basically I'll give you an upfront amount for a piece of your, was it, all-time earnings. Yeah.
Wow. Where is he from? Texas, I think.
He was a basketball player. No, I know who he is, but where is he from? I don't know.
I have no idea where he's originally from. That's smart.
I mean, it depends on what the splits are too. It depends on the splits, but it's like we talk label talk sometimes.
Is it in perpetuity? Like forever? That I'm pretty sure to be in whatever deal y'all make. So it could be, it might not be.
I don't know for sure. Well's the problem? This is the thing.
Before, because we touched on it before in pre-pod, they were saying it was kind of predatory. I think it just depends on the terms.
I think it depends on the actual athlete. Like I think the money matters.
I think that when somebody puts out their money for a product, they're the person that's taking the risk. So if I'm prepaying you for whatever, you can break your leg.
I don't get my money back. Or you cannot produce, and I don't get my money back.
So I think it's 50-50. It's a way to look at it.
As long as there's big money somewhere, someone's going to middleman it. Absolutely.
It happens everywhere in every field damn near. So it's unsurprising.
It's unsurprising. And it's not necessarily predatory.
It could be great for the fast. It depends.
It's a case-by-case basis. Absolutely.
Whatever you negotiate, honestly. And if you get some talent that isn't maybe as known, it could be a great...
That might get to have other offers on the table. Yeah, it really depends.
Like, everybody not Angel Reese, everybody not Shador Sanders, everybody. You know what I'm saying? There's some smaller cats that might go to some smaller D1s that could use $100,000.
That could use $200,000 and you could potentially bring an advertising dollar that they would have never gotten. And now because I put them together like Steve Stout said.
Steve Stout said he's taking the artists and he's taking the advertising and combining them. Has there ever been a player under the radar that ended up killing it in the NBA that was under the radar.
A million people. Oh, yeah.
Ended up being a star. A lot of people go undrafted and end up being.
A star? Yeah, shit. The Joker.
The Joker won the MVP three years in a row and was a second-round pick. So that can work out? Same with football.
Same with football. So it could work out for Kendrick then? It could.
Yeah, it could. It could.
It could. What do you guys think about Kamala Harris trying to appeal to the black vote, the black male vote? I think it's smart.
Maybe a little bit too late. I think it should have been done a lot earlier.
Shout out to her and Biden. I mean, how long? But this has been a very short campaign.
Or whatever the shit is that she had said so we're not just talking out our ass. I think what Obama

has proved, I think even in the last election

what has been proven is that

the black vote is really, it really matters.

Like again,

until they counted all the votes in the

urban Atlanta area, until they counted

all the votes in the Philadelphia area,

Georgia and Pennsylvania,

which are two swing states, were still up

in the air. And when they started counting

all those votes in the inner city, that shit

won Georgia and won

Thank you. Georgia and Pennsylvania, which are two swing states, were still up in the air.
And when they started counting all those votes in the inner city, that shit won Georgia and won PA. So I think that their teams should be instructing them to appeal to us.
I have the policy that they're looking to create. It says to provide one million loans that are fully forgivable, up to $20,000 for black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
Support education training and mentorship programs that lead to good paying jobs for black men, including pathways to become teachers. Protect cryptocurrency investments so black men who make them know their money is safe.
Launch a national health initiative focused on the illnesses that disproportionately impact black men. Legalize recreational marijuana and create opportunities for black Americans to succeed in this new industry.
I think it should have been launched in August. So you're saying it's just too late to do it now? It may be.
Kudos to the White House. Been incredibly gracious to me.
Kudos to you. When did her campaign officially start, though? That's what I was about to ask.
I think that she got thrown into the fire and had to scramble to work shit out. And now some of these things are just settling.
So now we're putting some new initiatives out. I think, when did Biden drop out? Wasn't it like June or something? It was the summer.
No, I'm just saying it was the summer. So I don't know exactly.
It was late. So I don't know.
She didn't have enough time. Yeah, they was gathering their thoughts basically.
Biden dropped out July 21st. Yeah.
So I think it should have been launched in August. Because the women demographic she had on, like that day that they made him step down, sororities went crazy in raising capital.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the black male voters needed.
And because a lot of men are leaning towards trump a lot of black men are leaning towards trump i don't think this should have been attacked a lot earlier though do you think maybe they didn't count for that like just out the rip they thought they probably thought they were going to have a black male vote that's sweet the black no period i agree with that yeah what's your thing uh i hope it works yeah me too I'm not paying any mind because my vote is already made. I vote my, so.
Gotcha. How did black men vote in the last two elections? The one that Trump won and then Biden? A lot of men silently voted for Trump.
A lot of black men voted for Trump. And now in the polls, black men are leaning heavily Trump.
I mean, probably not the majority, but he's getting a nice portion of the black male vote for the polls. And I know friends of mine, like I argue with one of my niggas damn near weakly.
He did seven years in jail. He just came home.
He been home not even a year. And when I tell you he is pro-Trump on a different level, it's a different level.
So, you know what I mean? I mean, hood dudes, they really fucking with Trump. So, it's going to be interesting to see how it ends up.
Race is going to be a lot tighter than we initially thought to. I agree.
It's going to come down to the wire. Your mind made up? Yeah.
I won't ask. I feel like it's invasive.
I support. And you got a few more months of trying to get that Trump money or the other side's money.
No matter what you want. I got a question.
That a question for you too hold on just to answer your question um from 2020 this says most black men supported biden but overall democrats have noticed that they've been losing black male support since 2008 yeah so it's been dwindling so yeah they kind of should have looked at some point. Go ahead, Flip, me.
I had a question for you.

I stare at your business over there in that world that you're in.

What is it called?

Finance world.

Financial literacy.

I don't do financial literacy.

Oh, whatever.

I'm sorry.

I do investing.

Pardon me.

You do what?

Investing.

Investing.

How do you deal with the attacks that some of your counterparts get? How do you deal with it? Because you seem like a nice guy, very humble, and very knowledgeable. And when you see these things and the attacks, do you feel like you become involved in it? Are you involved? Do they group you up in it, or you just? Yeah, sometimes I get lumped in.
But the thing that I always try and tell people is, like, if you're consistently hearing the same message, there's truth in it or you just yeah sometimes i get lumped in but the thing that i always try and tell people is like if you're consistently hearing the same message there's truth in it so even when if a bunch of attacks come i'll get on the phone with some of them content creators and say well what should we do different he got to clipping me up he doesn't laugh that i go hey what you think we need to? Because a lot of times the truth is they want to be friends too.

So if I can get the consultant, to me, a hater is the best consultant you can ever hire.

Okay.

I got a document 40 pages long, every criticism of me.

Really?

Who compiled that?

Me?

Him.

That nigga is a meticulous too.

I do know that. That nigga is a nutcase too.

But he also has a team. I just Yeah So if you're If you're Loving enough Mm-hmm To tell me what I'm doing wrong I'm gonna jot that shit down Thank you So I'll be more humble More gracious More kind What'd you guys think of that? No What do all of you think of that? His approach All of y'all Each and every one of y'.
Not you, Ice and Parks. What do y'all think of that? That he writes it down? Anything.
I think it's a crock of shit. You've seen me do it.
It's not a trick question. I'm just saying.
I just want to know why not Ice and Parks. He just moved and answered the question.
I'm going to get you better than that. Because they're not.
Ice and Parks ain't y'all three. Whatever that means.
I mean, of course, is it frustrating? That's what I'm saying. It's frustrating, too.
But if you're here for a year, there's some truth somewhere that you need to fix. But what I'm saying is that if, say, if people that you're associated with is being accused of something and you're looped up into that, do you look internally or you just writing shit down on how to rebuttal them? No, I got a vet too.
I got a man.

My main connector matter got locked up.

That was my friend.

Okay.

They tried to loop me in and say I knew what some of the bullshit he was doing.

I'm like, I'm rich.

I ain't nothing about that bullshit he was doing.

Okay, got it.

So you, okay, got it.

But I got to face it, opposed to running from it and be like,

So you face it?

Yeah, you got to face the shit head on.

Got to face the head on.

You don't become an Uber driver and stuff like that and do things different.

You go straight into it. Nah, my fault.
Like Cesar Pino. You got to become an Uber driver and stuff like that and do things different.
You go straight into it.

Nah, my fault.

Like Cesar Pino.

You got to look.

Joe, leave him alone.

Like Cesar Pino.

Why did you single me, Isha, and Mel out and say we're different?

Because you have an angle there, but I didn't catch it.

I don't have an angle.

I just believe how y'all three react to criticism is different than how me, Ice, and Parks react to criticism. It wasn't deep.
I think you like it, though. I know you do.
Yeah, I mean, I think... I know you think that.
Does anybody agree with me? Do you think that Joe likes that? Likes the criticism? I don't think he likes it. I don't think he likes the criticism.
I think he knows how to handle it well, but then everybody's not him. I think he hates it, actually.
I think Joe sees the bigger picture, and as long as the bigger picture and the engine is still moving, then I take that as it comes with the territory. It's part of the gig.
And some people are able to disconnect easier than others. Like, Ice will just disconnect.
That's something that he is. Parks don't really pay attention to the internet.
I do, but I don't let him. I pay attention to the internet.
I'm on the internet all day. I just don't let it affect me emotionally.
You disconnect. You don't let that.
Yeah, I don't. But I've learned to appreciate how.
And you've got 20 years in this. That's what I'm saying.
I've learned to appreciate how everybody handles things differently and in their own way. So I don't say it to judge.
I got it. I say it just because it's something to be mindful of.
But you came up here and said that we should have a character to put out to the audience. Right? But then if we have a character, how will we be able to show our real selves? People connect with authenticity.
They like when you're your real self. So if we put a character there, like, that's what my problem is, is the character and the me and the real me

so that

I can speak from

personal experience

my character

that I'm putting up there

and then me in real life

that shit is not easy

they totally different people

you know what I mean

when people approach you

in the street

and approach you

expect your character

it's not easy to deal with

so then what do you say to that

my father said

yo you signed up for it

you have to be

you signed up for this

you wanted this

you have to know

how to navigate through it

wise words from a decent man

I couldn't agree

with your father

that's what he said to me

you can't get mad at people what Flip does I agree with that in Flip's case because he created that character he created that character you put that character out there you benefited from that character I did so now you can't now turn around you gotta take everything that comes with that character that you put out there. But sometimes the character is not the character is more of a persona.
You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't have a character. I don't have a character like what he's created.
I have more of a persona that I've created, you know, in terms of, you know, just being poised and composed and sexy and whatever all that other shit is. But when I'm in, say, I don't know, baggage claim and I just got a phone call that, you know, a loved one has cancer, I don't want to be who you think I am at that very moment.
So those are the those are the navigational kind of, you know, moments where it just it is extraordinarily complicated. That's an extreme.
But I mean, but but that happens frequently. And that's why so many celebrities will be like, they get approached by somebody who they want you to be, who they believe you to be in that moment and when you just got bad news or you're having a bad day and you don't react the way that they hope, then they get online and they're like, I met so and so, they're a piece of shit and blah blah blah and that's, you say the whole you signed up for it, I'm just like, nah, I'm still, you're still a human being at the end of the day.
And it needs to be a little bit more respect paid to the fact that we're humans. Look what they did to the Macaulay Coke.
Not Macaulay Coke. What's the guy that passed away, the short guy? Recently? No, he passed away a long time ago.
Corey Feldman? Corey Haines. What you talking about, Willis? Oh, Gary Coleman.
Gary Coleman. You know what I mean? To be identified as that character, a character that he's built over the years, to be identified as that when he just wanted to live his life.
Look what it did to him. His life.
These things that happen with... I'm just saying.
No, are you comparing you, Mel, and H to Gary Coleman? No, I'm not comparing.

No, I think that.

But I think that.

He's so fucking rude.

Why are you so fucking rude?

Am I in the fucking matrix?

No.

In all reality, the thing is, when we speak about Mel, Mel...

Flip might be a little bit...

Because of my size?

Oh, shit.

That's racist.

That's funny.

You do look like Webster.

I got you back.

That's funny. You might be Webster, yo.
You gonna let him say that? I got a spank. He used my black heart.
I'm gonna check it later. Like Mel.
Mel has a... Mel has a...
So you call it a persona where her professional... Mel professionalism or how she speaks and puts a...
I think it's a character on the podcast or on her shows that I may have watched. It's not the same how Mel is behind the scenes.
Mel is not that sophisticated behind the scenes, nigga. Mel on some bullshit.
Lies and treachery will get you nowhere. Yo, Joe, keep it real.
Mel, you not that sophisticated behind the scenes. You don't use none of those big-ass words.
I might be a little gangster. Yeah, you're not, well, not gangster, but you're not that.
You're You're not that careful Shut up, E I think we should all be mindful Of the energy And personas that we put out True, alright Even for me When I was going through And I'll call you like Yo, why all this? You're like Some of us You said it to me Like, yo, some of us you Motherfucker All these people not attacking you Because you're an angel And then you learn How to be softer And more gracious with people And a lot of that shit go away. I think it's kind of unfair coming from Joe though because he had so much experience in so many years that he fought through it.
That's just how I feel. I know he don't like to hear that shit.
It's a crock of shit. I think what I said stands.
I think that he just looked at it like yo the gig is the gig. He was at the beginning.
Remember what you went through nigga? Half the people ain't go through what you experienced. Half the people ain't go through that.
The TV shit and all that shit going down, bouncing up. Niggas ain't experienced that.
Your wounds made you who you are today. So imagine you took all the wounds for everybody and niggas coming in fresh.
And then we going through what you've been through. You know how to navigate through the battlefield.
A lot of niggas don't know how to navigate through the battlefield. That's just what it is.
And then you put this, I don't want to say expectation, but you say, yo, you guys should do it like this and do it like that. And I do agree with you because when you say it, it makes sense.
But it's not as easy as you say it is. Or as you make it seem.
See, now, to my, the way I treat it, I have experience because I've been on the other side of it. Oh, yeah.
Where you were a troll? Yeah. That's really it for me.
Because I've been on the other side of it, I can identify these people. Yeah.
So I know, one, y'all don't mean the shit y'all saying. Which is why when you're out and you run into people, it's all love.
It's all love. Yep.
True. Like you just said, your haters, once you reach out to them, they just tell you all the time, they just want acknowledgement.
They just want, hey, look at me. Unfortunately, I say this, I feel like a broken record.
Negativity stands out more. It does.
Absolutely. Y'all can sit there and read the comments and read this and it'll be a thousand people praising you.
You don't even see it. But once that one person is on your ass, you see that.
They know, and then you reply to that. They know you reply to that so it feeds them.
So it says, okay, let's stay on his ass so we can get replies. That's what I'm about to say.
And once you show people, to me anyway, what grinds your gears? Yeah. The people that enjoy

grinding gears

is coming to grind your gears.

I'm one of those,

I enjoy a little

gear grinding boss.

Yeah.

So if I see that

that pissed you off,

I used to have the same fight

with my girl.

Yo, check that bitch.

Well, why?

Then she gonna know

that this is a checkable offense.

Your response is

lame.

Yeah, though.

That's good.

I'm gonna try to get that off. No, that's right.
That's true's true though I ain't saying that It works with her But that's my thinking My thinking If I let the girl know That this is grinding Your girl's gears Your girl's gears You who I care about Of course Not her Who I don't I agree with you Then now we've allowed Somebody who don't matter And is inconsequential You gave them the blueprint For our household What's difference between that and like establishing a boundary? A boundary with who? Strangers? These motherfuckers don't have boundaries. Strangers? Yeah.
Yeah, they don't. We see that? Yeah, a boundary with strangers.
Like, don't get... How do you enforce that? With a stranger.
In the moment of your interaction, you let them know I'm not the motherfucking one, two, or three. So what is, okay, so all they're going to do now is come back tomorrow.
So let's play that out. What does that say to the thousand people that just watched you do it? That just want to reply from you? What does that say to them? Who wouldn't get attention? Who would never normally get the reply, but because you just told them I'm not one, two, or three, what does that tell them? Okay, the way to get her to reply is to do what? Well, historically I have always turned the other cheek.
I have taken the high road so many times I get nosebleeds. So that's usually my MO.
I just kind of got a little fed up with that shit. Hence Spicy Mel has been around for a little while.
And I ain't gonna hold you. Speaking for me, I'm not shooting at nobody here.
I'm not shooting at none of y'all even though we're talking about this. Now I don't forgot to shout anyway.
What the fuck was I about to say? No, I wasn't shooting at y'all. Oh, podcasters in general that complain about this type shit to me it just sound like when the spoiled rich white kid in school is fucking complaining about some shit.
I was just saying when y'all was outside. I've tried to think of a simpler gig than this.
I can't. Like if you niggas, not you niggas, if people if people can't fucking deal with what comes along with podcasting, this new boom that happened to come about where people, we privileged enough we privileged and blessed enough to work somewhere twice a week not counting anybody's side gigs everybody got side gigs.
The weird economy is everybody needs side gigs. That's true.
But I think this is a pretty good gig. So it's like the people that, oh, they out there complaining, they called me this, they said this about me.
It's like, yeah, but are we just totally discounting the blessings? True. Are we moving the blessings to the side? And it goes back to what I said about focusing on how negativity just standing out more.
You're not even looking at all the positive shit because you're focused on the little bit of negativity. My life has changed too much too drastically quickly for me to worry about what Becky 453 thinks about things.
The immortal words of Tyler, the creator, man. Just log out.
That's a fucking cyber bully. Nor are there many people that they've said worse things about than me.
Yeah, for you, yeah. Like, develop a fucking thick skin.
Put the fucking phone down. Ignore them niggas.
I'm going back to my normal life. Flip, you be outside.
And y'all be outside. I can't speak to that because if it takes me locking myself in a room, I will.
I understand. If it takes me locking myself in a bathroom or closet if my problem is outside, then I will.
I have committed life to this thing. But that's the thing, Joe.
The problem is not outside. Because once again, when you see people outside, it's love.
They're buying you drinks and water and sending you charcuterie boards. That's what I'm saying.
It's too much love to even focus on the hate. I'm going to ask you a question.
I got you. And if you're talking to a large enough audience, then you're going to get some hate.
It comes with it. That's true.
Like, I'm prepared. I'm prepared for that.
Like, it kind of fuels me. Pardon me a little bit.
What'd you think? You're going to be honest and ask you this question? I got to get a question first. I want to reserve the right to lie at all times.
Are you shitting me? So listen. That's honest.
So this is where the confusion comes from.

You gotta keep a lie.

This is where the confusion

comes from even when

it comes to you, right?

So I can speak for me

and you.

Like, if you engage,

and I talk to you,

I say it sometimes,

engage with people

that are saying things

about the gig or me, right?

And aren't you giving them

credence to keep going?

Like, because you are

the head of the crop, right?

Thank you. Saying things about the gig or me, right? And aren't you giving them credence to keep going? Because you are the head of the crop, right? So you're the head of the ship.
You're engaging people. Yo, we don't like Flip.
Flip is doing this. That nigga's annoying.
You're not saying anything, but you're there. You're listening.
I'm present. You're present.
You're not saying anything. And I've recently learned that y'all don't like that.
Yeah, well, I didn't, but now I don't give a fuck because I get it. I've recently learned that y'all don't like that.
I understand it because I understand it now. You know what I mean? That's like the same thing when I was doing interviews, and Fifth probably didn't like me sitting with Smurf or talking to his son.
Even though I'm defending Fifth, he's saying, like, why would you even sit there in the first place knowing that I'm going through this? It's just a, I guess, I don't know if it's an old school mentality thing. I don't know.
But even with you, like, if you're sitting there talking and they feel comfortable, wouldn't that give them more ammunition to keep going? Joe was with us. Joe listened to us say it, so let us keep saying it.
But look at it like this, and it may still hurt, but when McMahon was selling Austin versus Cena or Austin versus Rock, he'll listen to them say Austin sucks but Wrestlemania you're right still fucking draw like crazy that example was brought to me too but that example was brought to me too like you gotta look at it as Joe as Vince McMahon not personally but like you know Joe I had to clear that but it, like, nigga, we speak to Joe about it. Nigga, who the fuck are you? We speak to your boss.
Nigga, we don't give a fuck how you feel or nothing, so we're going to tell him how we feel, we're going to say it, and we're going to go a little further because we, you know, sometimes the boss give people ammunition unintentionally. So what do you say to that when I say that? Like, even if we don't, even if I don't like that,

what do you say your intent is?

What do I say, what?

Your intent is, like,

what do you say about that,

how it comes off to people that it matters to you?

Well, listening to how you feel about it

or how you felt about it.

I felt, yeah, I don't feel it.

And I know Ish made mention of it before.

Mel feel like she want to make mention of it,

but don't, I don't know.

But I receive, I receive how y'all feel about it. I don't give a fuck.
Yeah. I don't give a fuck about it.
Should you give a fuck? No. Why? Not at all.
I shouldn't give a fuck. Why? If we're talking about co-hosts.
It's a full circle moment, right? There's a lot of great research in criticism. You started with that.
You started with that. If you're on a stage, if you're on a public stage, and again, we're starting with all the blessings.
I'm starting with the blessings. Facts.
If you're on a public stage that has afforded you those blessings, then you should feel good enough to be able to hold it down when the other side starts coming. I feel like that.
One. Two, engagement is engagement.
It don't say good engagement. It don't say praise, compliment, complimentary engagement.
Engagement is engagement. You're talking to somebody that through the down years of his career,

my engagement has always been better than the A-level in Premiere X

because I'm there.

Just because I'm there.

I don't have to be talking about none.

No shit he did.

It's like when I'm in the strip club on a Thursday night

and one of the fucking niggas from the project say,

Yo, you here?

Yo, you know I respect you, my nigga. You just did it right here with us, yo.
Why is so? Yeah. It's as simple as that for me.
So engagement is engagement. I know what people are paying for engagement.
You're right. I see it.
Big facts. And I know how much it costs.
You're right. So nobody is going to trick me into thinking that the blessings are a negative.

And even if they come in a bad shaped box or bad built damaged box, it is all a blessing.

Who the fuck is anybody here for people to be talking about?

Myself included.

Now I've done enough for how many years or I gave enough to talk about.

But in the grand scheme of things, everybody's insignificant. Yo, who the fuck are y'all? Who the fuck am I? They talking.
Great. Yeah.
Awesome. Worry when they not.
Big facts. Yeah.
That's when you worry. It could go another way.
I'm looking at all the podcasters that die for the engagement. And look at the shit that everybody out there doing.
They're going and secretly trying to hire the people that's engaging in all. Like, dog.
Like, dog. That's true.
I don't take none of it for granted. I want to respect everybody's feelings on the matter because everybody don't have to handle shit the same.
Yeah. But I don't take none of the blessing for granted that come with this shit.
I don't. And that includes some of them niggas

I don't want to talk to.

If they saying something I don't want to hear,

I remove myself.

Log out.

I'm back to the A-noms.

That's it.

Yeah, that's it.

Hey, if I go in the club,

hey, I had to paddle with the sexes,

homegirl from death to death.

Yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Guess what?

I ain't mad at her.

Sweet girl, sweet girl.

I'm going.

Yep.

I'm going.

She ain't do nothing wrong. You can stay there and still do whatever you want to going.
She ain't do nothing wrong.

You can stay there and still do whatever you want to do.

She look to the side.

Got excited.

Great.

I'm going to go.

Last week in my fucking estate, whatever that was, shit I was doing.

I'm in the city at a time I ain't normally in the city.

Fucking nine to five hours.

It's noon or some shit.

I'm walking downstairs.

I'm on like Wall Street, Soho.

One of them shits, not Soho, but one of them shits down there where niggas is working. I go downstairs.
You got the other nigga, huh? Yeah. Stop.
He had the same shit. He tried to throw Soho.
He went from Wall Street. He tried to throw Soho in there, nigga.
He was on Wall Street, nigga. He was on Wall Street, nigga.
One of them blocks that I don't be on. But I go downstairs for a little smoke break, and I'm sitting there.
It's in and keep. And a girl walked by, and she said, hey, you know, you look like Joe Budden.
That don't ever work with me. Hey, and I get that all the time.
She kept walking, but she was puzzled the whole way down. I know that, nigga.
She was on the phone. I think.
And then some more people came. Yo, you Joe Budden.
Take a picture. And some more people came.
Now it's like a crowd. You would think Pump It Up is at its peak.
The way that these people is over here crowding. They done followed me in the building.
They trying to guess what floor. You going to seven, ain't you? That's where anybody over there going to seven.
What you talking about up there? Hey, that's invasive. That's intrusive.
I'm sitting there, I tap in said, hey, that Prime Spick shit must be working. That little commercial.
I feel like people, that was a lot just now. You've been all open.
That's not for me. I hate all of that.
I am an introvert. Leave me alone.
I don't want to talk to nobody. Most of my fans sometimes respect it.
But in the event that they don't, I'm grateful for the ruckus. I'm grateful for the ruckus.
I just made some fucking girl date. You're telling a man on the phone, no way in that nigga.
It's nothing for me to complain about. It's nothing for me to complain about.
Once you lose the fan base, I to get it back? For real, go crazy. Adam, if you need help, ask some friends in Chicago.
Adam is jumping in the fucking coffin. He jumping in the coffin.
It's been a two-sided. Lowering it himself.
Yeah. It's over, nigga.
22. You know you were one of my favorite whites ever, but.
Yeah, Adam, I fuck with you too, but it's over, my nigga. I love that.
Your reign on the top is short like leprechauns. There are people in their room somewhere.
You know what Hov said? On whatever DVD that was, there's a nigga right now eating a bowl of cereal. Eating a bowl of cereal.
That's the same thing here. That's true.
So every second

that y'all

or y'all

or anybody

dedicates

to something else,

there's somebody

eating a bowl of cereal

that's just sharpening

a sword

trying to get better

and trying to come

take your fucking,

trying to come

take your spot.

I don't have time

to talk about

what these niggas

on the internet

think about me.

They think I'm a piece of shit.

Now watch this.

Now watch me get to it

as a piece of shit.

Quote, unquote.

And they're going

to keep watching you.

Thank you. about what these niggas on the internet think about me they think i'm a piece of shit now watch this now watch me get to it as a piece of shit quote unquote and and they're going to keep watching you big facts that's what i'm saying most of them hate even the joe button tv community now all the haters done gotten there now all of everybody that hates me is in there i'm so appreciative that there's somewhere for people that hate me to centralize and talk about about you.
And they talk about everything. As annoying as that be sometimes.
They try to get to it. Yo, I think Joe's fucking about to fire.
Melissa sent her home. Oh my God, she was belligerent.
Joe's not gonna run his business like that. That little shit be annoying.
Guess what? Love it. Still got to listen.
Absolutely love it. And if you're producing the show, give you some little bullet points.
Absolutely love it. Rap fan base.
Rap fan base. Yeah.
It's people that would pay. People that do.
And you know the other part? You can't even put a number on it to try to get that level of engagement that that community has. There's people that will pay for the hate.
The other part is I'm going to always view it differently at least in this infrastructure because I was here from the day one. Yeah.
Where none of that exists. So, it's all I mean, nigga.
What the fuck are you that. Don't step in right now.
I'm just saying when you're there from day one and there's nothing and there's no money there's no company giving money nobody's thinking about your podcast or whatever the fuck y'all doing and you're trying to grow 10,000 listeners to 20 and 20 to 40 and 40 to 60 and so on and so on and then still got to wait for people to come give you some money then the companies change their mind wanna give all the white people and the TV shows the money this shit is all so when you're there for every step of the way you can't take none of it for granted like I used to tell them niggas about tour Savon and them niggas shout out to Savon by the time Savon started coming on tour it was four season hotels hotels. It was big, big, big sprinters.

The luxury sprinters.

If you know something about sprinters,

they don't all cost the same.

We got the one with the phone chargers.

We got the one with the USB.

USBs by every seat.

Yeah, TVs.

A good driver.

Not one of them bums that's on the bullshit.

Hey, sexy paneling on the floors.

It was different by the time he came around.

Good driver. We were the drivers before.
In a fucking suburban somewhere, bro. Oh, fucking suburban.
You know how I feel going to pick up the second half of 2,500? Like, what the fuck are y'all niggas talking about out there? Now you're talking. What is there a complaint about? I'm on a video somewhere about to beat up a promoter from Bermuda that was over here because he owed Slawdell's money over here and then booked us again over here.
Now we fighting at an airport. It's like your dog.
If you was there, I ain't got to say nothing. The party's just there.
Word. Fucking up the mix on OLS3.
Drunk off of Bex. Coming down.
Yeah, for real. But Parks ain't give a fuck.
Parks back there. Parks come downstairs.
Man, lay it. We in the van.
Not the truck, man. Tyo, go get this fucking white boy from upstairs, man.
We got to go. We have to do what the fuck you want to do.
Like, when you come from the humble beginnings, even though started out this part talking shit about the non-private, but when you come from the humble beginnings, there is nothing to not appreciate. There is nothing about this to not appreciate.
It's almost disrespectful to not appreciate it. That's how I feel about it.
Like, so all these fucking cripes. Do you feel...
Yeah, don't get me started. Do you feel like it's panic mode, meaning that you watch podcasts or people, companies that were up and that probably didn't appreciate everything and they end up going down? Do you feel like, do you go in, I don't want to say panic mode, but go into a defensive mode where you're like, I'm not going to let this go.
I'm not going to let this fall. I'm going to...
Yeah, does it come from a place of paranoia? I'm not going to let this fall. I'm not going to let this fall.
Paranoid. Yeah, does it come from a

place of paranoia? I'm not going to let this fall. I'm not going to let

the company go under. If I have to sit

here with parts for myself, if I have to put a camera

in front of me, I'm going to do whatever it takes

to make this keep rising.

That's why I want to hear all the critiques

and comments

from the people. Do you feel like that,

you come from that standpoint? The people is,

that's an aside. Fuck the people, but even in general, how you do your business? I've dedicated my life to the gig.
Yeah. I've dedicated...
What's the difference between panic and dedication? Well, there is... Doing it on the...
You know when I panic? I understand your question. Thank you.
I'm sorry. The panic set in when I...
Me and Ian was just talking about this at the bar last night. Yeah.
We was just talking about this. Panic set in when I was relying on the company to pay me my worth at the end of the contract.

Ah, got it.

Okay.

That feeling never sat right with me anywhere.

It was unsettling.

For me, it felt like standing before the judge and waiting to see what the verdict.

You're just powerless. You could be the best thing on earth or the worst thing on earth what they come back and say is where it is and now if they don't say what you want them to say now you have to go out in the world and prove it and do it see that's what i mean by getting my life to the gig it's nothing that a company could tell me that i gave my life to the.
So when I leave you, I'm going to do exactly what I said. When I leave you, I'm your competitor.
Yeah. When I leave you, I'm your competitor.
So how are we working this out? So when that panic set in, I want to make sure I never stand before the judge again. I want to make sure I never feel this power over me again.
And if I really believe that this is where the business is going, if I believe in it, then it's time to stand in that. I'm going to commit to that.
Stand in that. So panic birthed D to C straight to them niggas.
No middleman. Subscription only.
Premium model. Like, what? That's's my point today because I panicked back then there's absolutely nothing to panic about today and I hate telling people that because I love when the engagement says Joe should panic Joe should panic right now oh my god what is Flip gonna do hell same.
Oh, my God. He might lose me.
Oh, it's your numbers looking a little honey up there. Oh, it just might be the fall of Joe.
Joe's coming down. This nigga been on top too long.
It's a crowd of people that just wait on me to fall. Yeah.
That's a fact. I like that.
Yeah. Give you motivation to keep going.
Wait. Yeah.
Y'all waiting on me? You know what I took to get here? Dog, yeah, yeah, no, it's too precious. It's too precious.
It's too precious. I feel you.
I'm never turning back. I'm never turning back.
Shit, I was appreciative of life in the back of the Tahoe, so how am I not going to be appreciative of life now? Yo, that part, we wasn't having a blast in the Tahoe. Until Cory fell asleep driving.
He was always asleep driving.

Let's be clear.

He was on autopilot.

Yeah.

No.

There's nothing that the fans could tell me.

The tax, my tax wealth management people told me the second that I no longer earn the way they think I'm going to earn,

I'm on the hook and have to pay for whatever the fuck.

I said, wait, what?

They're like, you good, man.

Just keep earning.

My whole life.

I said, so it costs money to have money.

Yes.

And the second you don't, you'll need money. Yeah.
They say, yeah. They say, you know, I'm out of here.
I'm leaving. I'm leaving.
Gotta get to work. It was in life.
But when you, no, because I knew it already because they had taught me that. But to bring it back to the point, what the fans are saying is not,

it's not even time for that.

It's estate planning,

who's going to be where,

what's going on when I die. Succession plan.

Yeah, what's going on,

what does my portfolio look like

and why it ain't looking like I want it to look,

we'll get to that in the video.

Help me out.

My little Microsoft,

I need a little bit of help.

But yeah, assets,

it's about the real shit now at 44. Like, fuck these Microsoft.
Yeah. I need a little bit of help.
But yeah, assets.

It's about the real shit now at 44.

Like, fuck these niggas.

Fuck these niggas.

Even in the space and business, you got to stay paranoid to prosper.

Like at one point, Intel had the control of the chip market and fucking lost it to NVIDIA.

They lost it.

They did.

That is true.

The White House gave them a bill, gave them billions. No one wants to fucking touch Intel.
It's over with. AMD first.
TSM second. AMD far third.
You have to stay paranoid. And you got to listen.
I'll call LaRusso once a week. What I need to do better.
I hate when I see that little black screen on my Facebook. Yo, what you think? You should consider that.

Okay.

Who do you call?

LaRusso.

You know.

I'll call him once a week,

get some intel.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Is that an op to you?

Yeah, he ops everybody,

technically.

But thank you for all your guidance and support.

Yo, this nigga, hey, boy. Hey, mom.
I don't know who that is. The lawyer? The shit that I see on the billboard? You know.
Huh? Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
I've learned not to advertise on the broadcast. That's why Parks is writing that shit down.
Life is too good for me to have ops out there. I'm not going to lie to you.
I'm not going to lie to you. And it's too many niggas that'll trick you out of your spot.
Absolutely. That's what they want to do.
That's their game. That's their game.
But hold on. What do you say? They'll trick you out of your spot.
All your friends ain't happy for you. It's a lot.
Talk about it. It's a lot.
All your friends ain't happy for you. They're not.
You could think that niggas is niggas, but you're doing something that they're doing. You're doing something that they're doing.
Everybody don't want none of you niggas on this size of a podcast. Facts.
You're right. I know this.
Facts. I'm not lying At all.
Are you right? At all. I've dealt with it.
I mean, you know. Yeah.
And I know how old Joe is set up. Old Joe is easy to trick out the spot.
It's important for me to evolve daily. I know who I used to be, nigga.
I was coming to your crib. That's what I was saying this weekend about you, because it was like, yo, that nigga put up with a lot of bullshit.
And I said, well, and they feel like it's unfair, right? And I cracked a joke about it. I think the Patreon.
But I was like, I think that what Ian explained to me and what Joe said, that they see a little bit of Joe in me. I may be a little bit, a lot more erratic, but he understands a lot of times.
A lot of times he understands where I'm coming from, so it's easy to diffuse the situation. Y'all understand, I've seen that before.
You shouldn't handle it this way. Even Parks.
Parks, I don't give him a lot of credit, but even times he pulled me to the side and he'll say, like, yo, I've seen that. I've seen that behavior before.
Try this way. You know what I mean? So people do think that, yo, there's a lot of people out there.
You let the white man tell do? No, it's not about that. I do be saying that, but people be up here.
I've dealt with more shit since you and Mel got hired than I have in my entire podcast. Somebody said that shit to me at the baby shower, son.
Really? The nigga's a Patroni. Yes.
Shout out to him. He's a Patroni.
He gave me some clothes. Yo, he pulled me to the side, nigga, and he said that same shit.
Yo, I've been watching this nigga for years. Since you and Mel been up there, him talking about his business structure, him talking about so much other things, like, just, it's been a lot of, it seemed like it's been a lot of things that company has been going through since you've been up there.
And I'm like, I'm going to fix it. I don't, I said, I don't know.
I mean, I said, I don't know. I don't think so.
I know you don't. I love y'all, man.
Yeah, I just love y'all. Why were we the catalyst? Because they, I don't know.
I mean, I don't know. I don't think so.
I love y'all, man.

I just love y'all.

Why were we the catalyst?

Because they, I don't know.

They watched the whole transition, man.

They watched the whole transition.

That's what they say.

All the shit you've gone through.

Stop looking at me, dog.

Me and him coming here is the most shit you've had to deal with?

She really would have thrown me under the bus.

She said, me? Say you. Yeah.
Say you, man. Yeah.
Fuck. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha but.
But you had to know that going into it, Joe. No, I did not.
You had to.

No, I did not.

You're lucky I'm fucking eating off your niggas.

I think I was.

That's a joke.

Did you hear this, nigga?

Fucking necessity.

It's a joke.

Yeah.

That is a joke.

I came in here and tamed the savage beasts.

I saw a picture of a car you was in, nigga.

I almost caught a heart attack.

I almost crashed my new shit.

Oh, Friday?

I almost crashed my new shit.

Friday, my shit is here finally.

That's what a new

car that he's in.

You got the roar?

I bought the roar.

You got it?

Come on.

You almost crashed.

I can't believe it.

I said,

look at this nigga, son.

Get one to us.

The hill shit,

I don't know

but I mean,

it don't really matter.

We ain't talking

about nothing,

so I'm just

running my mouth

about shit.

So fucking,

my people,

Thank you. I don't know if I told this here, but I mean, it don't really matter.
We ain't talking about nothing, so I'm just running my mouth about shit. So fucking my people, my management people call me, and they're like, all right, so the car will be shipped back to Jersey on this day when you want to pick it up.
I said, excuse me? I said, I'm not picking it up. Nor am I driving it from Elizabeth to me.

No, they got to drop that off.

Drop my shit to me.

To the door.

And they can come and do the whole manual teach you thing that they do.

Here.

He said, all right, well, the inspection's in Jersey City, so when are you going to get that done?

I said, I'm not driving to get it inspected.

Are you not?

I didn't buy the car to drive. He said.

You didn't buy the car to drive.

Thank you. driving to get it inspected.
I didn't buy the car to drive. You didn't buy the car to drive it.
I didn't buy the car to drive it. I still got to go find a car that I want to drive.
Yeah. That's rich nigga shit.
Rich nigga. Can't stop, won't stop.
I wouldn't want to drive no Ferrari in these roads. Hell no.

So when you want to drive it, nigga?

To the hookah spot.

And back.

That's all you need.

Even that's a little iffy.

That road ain't too beautiful.

That shit's beautiful, though.

Paved-iest road.

Yeah, but they fixed it a little bit.

And I'm doing two miles per hour, so everybody sees you.

That's true. Lights on.

You got to wait for a Ferrari to drive.

Lights on?

Huh?

Lights on? What? Inside. Inside what? Interior lights on lights on what interior lights on I didn't even know it had interior lights is your windows down I don't know what this is doing that's the stunt you will see me niggas will stop at the corner remember clubs had to let out see in Jersey clubs had to let out niggas will stop at the corner.
Remember clubs had to let out? See, in Jersey, clubs had to let out.

Niggas will stop at the corner,

put the good song after the show,

cut the lights on,

You know what's funny about the Ferrari story?

And this is just poetic justice of life

or God's sense of humor

or just things coming full circle. We was coming from a pod one time.
Me, Ice, Ish, Corey, when we was in Queens with Parks. And we stopped at the gas station.
Oh, yeah. And my man had the.
And my man had the red for work.

Had the red for work.

I was like, what the fuck is that?

What is that?

And so was there getting gas.

You start talking.

You start talking.

And I got out the car to go talk to him.

And he thought I was a mugger.

Did he?

Respect. No.
There's no world where I want to hear from 10 people. Got it.
He's coming because he's amazing. Yeah, he's an incredible talent.
He is. Absolutely.
He is. He's coming here because he's absolutely amazing.
And I don't know if the world knows that he is as amazing as he is. You know them buttoned up niggas? Yeah.
You know them niggas' desks? I was watching them. Every Mike button got some Joe button in them now.
Oh, no, he definitely has Joe button in them. All the more buttoned up, clean cut niggas that the girls be wanting.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Good, good, good.
Yeah, yeah.

Stop commenting on...

It is on the record.

Stop commenting on Mark LaVon Hill.

It's on the record.

Okay.

All I'm saying...

Okay, yes.

I got the cue.

So yeah, Mark...

How did you pull that together, huh?

I'm just saying, what did you do?

What did you...

How did you pull that together?

I don't like shit like that, nigga.

You got me for the low.

Huh?

Why?

Huh? Let's talk about it. You got me for the low, nigga.
How you pulling that together? Low is subjective. Low is subjective.
Do you want to talk about it? Oh. No.
Just checking. Can I ask you a question since you asked me one? Shoot.
Just checking. I know they talk about the job security, but what was your framework to make it where you so valuable that you had the job security? Very good question.
I don't know if it was really that intentional. And I don't know that my job is the most secure.
I mean, I think it is, but... Park, stop.
Don't try to relate to us, Park. Don't try to be that.
Park, you awesome. You know that, Pink and E, man.
Park. Shut up, man.
Don't try to relate to us. What are y'all going through? Yeah, Warren.
Yo, what are they going through when he says this? No, I'm saying, okay, yes. Why are you still threatened by other people coming up here? Me? Yes.
I'm not really threatened by it. You've been ranting about being threatened by it for the last two episodes.
I have a plan to exit, Parks. Why? Why? That's what you want to say.
I have a plan. I'm not threateneding.
That's not what I'm... I'm just, I'm going to tell you.
I have a plan to exit. So I have to be able to use...
I got a plan for you not to exit. Exactly.
We're going back and forth. So I have to...
I have to see who wins. I have to throw things...
You was up there trying to get that Wildin' Out gig. Nigga, I'll come right backstage at the Barclay.
You and everybody. Hey, y'all, I'm a free agent.
Free agent soon. Got to be seen.
Hey. Hey, Con.
You need another man up here? I can do all this stuff. You not low, nigga.
I'll be trying to get a job. I see when all you niggas be trying to get a job.
I see you do right. Shout out Mike Ruga out, too.
I saw you. I saw you.
Damn. Are you crazy? I saw you.
That's all I'm saying, bro bro Mark Lamont is here as an additive Paul yes to answer your question I'm not intimidated by anything all jokes aside I mean what I do what I do feel though is that you are an important he expresses that how important you are to the gig and even though you're not a guy that's a show off type guy I, I don't know if I'm saying it right, you're very humble.

Yeah.

The truth is the truth.

Right?

You've been there since the beginning.

Uh-huh.

And you don't act like it.

You just sit in the back.

But I put the respect on you.

I feel like it's just secure me.

And I think that's fly.

You know what's really underrated in this business?

And I hate that this podcast, I don't hate it, but that this has turned into this type of Patreon vibe.

But you know what's really underrated?

Just being a good human.

Thank you. And I hate that this podcast, I don't hate it, but that this is turned into like this type of Patreon vibe.

But you know what's really underrated?

Just being a good human.

True.

Just being a good human and being where you're supposed to be and just doing what you're supposed to do and feeling how you're supposed to feel and just showing up as your best self is really just underrated.

For all the shit that you're saying about Parks and how great the mixing sounds, he's great. He's just a good guy.
Yeah, good person. Very good guy.
Work hard. He's a good guy.
Fucking when them niggas was calling for Icehead, I'll get him out of there. When his voice was all scratched, I was like, I'm just a good man.
What are y'all talking about? What are you talking about? He's a good guy. I'm not a good man what are y'all talking about what are you talking about he's a good guy I'm not a good guy I'm not a good guy so I need to go around go around the room you stop at the two people that you said earlier I'm getting down to the bottom I'm getting down to the bottom.
You see, Parks? You see? He stopped and pointed to him. You see, Parks? I feel like y'all three have the most shit with y'all, but y'all are tasked with that.
So for me, it's interesting to see y'all manage that. I don't necessarily watch that with Ice and Parks because the same way the sun is going to come up in the morning, parks is going to be parks and ice is going to be ice.
Any variable could get either one of y'all three to just show something different. That's a very diplomatic way of putting it.
It's the truth. I know.
I ain't trying to be funny. I know you're not.
It is true. And I used to do that.
So I'm with it. And I do think that everybody is a good person, like at your core.
But you have to work. You have to keep it.
You have to work. It's constant work to be a good person.
For real. I work on my nice people voice.

When I want people to think I'm a nice person, I work on the voice.

It's the same as standing in the bathroom mirror working on rapper hands.

When I want to seem more sentimental

than I am, I try and

man, it's hard.

I was waiting for a little bit.

I got to work on it.

We got a couple more minutes with Ian.

So anything that we need to get from Ian.

Ian sent over a great list of conspiracy theories shit that we just did not get to at all.

That's a shame.

Can we get to some of it?

Yeah.

I would like to.

Please.

Ian left me at the bar by myself with their escorts.

Is that a conspiracy theory?

I didn't get to that story.

No, no.

That's factual. I didn't get to that story.
Yeah. Why'd you do that? For her.
Had to be here. Be here early.
He had to be here too, though. Yeah.
Well. Cadence is different.
Hasn't studied the market in the morning. Ah, you know what I mean? Ah, gotcha, gotcha.
I still want to know what to buy. She was tossing it, too.
Aside from escorts. Market Tuesdays? Nah, I'm good on that.
All right, let's see. I don't invest in the poot of these.
I'm good. What's to invest in if Kamala Harris wins? I think we kind of did that a little bit.
I'll do Vanguard, BlackRock, tickers BOK, NVIDIA. Please hold.
I'm begging you. If I made you money, please put yes in the comments.
One of one. Shut up.
No, I won't.

Microsoft, of course, because they own 49% of open AI,

which is going to be probably the biggest IPO of a startup this decade.

Visa, for sure.

Shout out to the CEO of Visa.

I saw him at the White House when I was there.

And you said hold for indeterminate? Minimum five years. Okay.
Minimum five years. You're always looking for advice.
Shut the fuck up. Eli Lilly, for sure.
As that healthcare space makes more money, Eli Lilly is incredibly important. And then Starlink, whenever that goes public.
Do you guys think that the dude from Minority Report has a

case in terms of Elon Musk

and the designs being similar?

Oh, from our robot? Yes. They are very, very

similar. Very similar, but if you didn't protect

your IP, that's the part that sucks, yo.

It's a direct copy and rip-off, but

it's something I've learned.

Trademarks are key. Protecting your IP

is key. Question number two.
This is for the room.

Biggest lesson learned in the past decade.

Give it to me.

And these are quick.

We quick in this.

We quick in this.

Past decade.

Damn decade.

What's that, 20 years?

Personal lesson or like?

Yeah, it's personal.

Stay on top of your fucking finances, taxes, all that shit.

I agree.

Everybody ain't your friend.

Buy insurance. Even though it's a fucking racket.
Stop trying to impress the outside world. I have another one.
Do not fall for the damsel in distress because they end up getting a building the next month? God damn.

With your cake money.

Yes.

How'd you just got off?

How'd you just got off? We just like

get over that bullshit.

That's funny.

You hear some of the

Tesla robots

were being controlled

by humans.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, they had some

back there with a little

remote control?

Yep.

Not fully autonomous

how he projected.

Yeah.

Will Drake and Kendrick ever be cool again? No. No.
Yep. Not fully autonomous how he projected.
Yeah. Will Drake and Kendrick

ever be cool again?

No.

No.

Hard no on that

for me.

How many kids

do you think

Epstein had

and left money to?

Oh, shit.

I like this one.

That was one of my favorites.

And left money to.

That was one of my favorite ones.

Did he have any children

that he talked about or are we talking about Did he have any children that he talked about

or are we talking about

illegitimate?

Nothing he talked about.

I'll have enough time

because I got a heart out

but one day

we got to have a conversation

about what some of that money

was routed to.

I'll fly you out here

for that talk.

Let me fly you out.

To the agency,

I'm on your side.

Let me fly you out.

Thoughts on Kamala Harris playing we did there. What percentage of the NBA and NFL is rigged? All of it's rigged now, controlled by the referees with gambling in play.
Seeing some real wonky shit. I don't think it's all of it, but I do think that there is a percentage.
I think the winners be kind of damn near. You almost got.
Have you even watched the game last night? Absolutely. That game was a horribly officiated game and it was almost like yo we can't let the Jets win this game I think there's also inherent biases that creep into sports and have forever I think that Pat Mahomes is going to get a roughing the penalty roughing the passer against him every single time same way Michael Jordan never got called for a foul you know what I mean there's some shit that's inherent but I do think it's stepped up now.
I really think it's more of that. I think people are just putting a lot of it on the betting.
Maybe I could be naive, but I think it's just certain people are going to get certain calls or not get, and when you lose money, you're going to blame it on the betting part. But you don't think the gambling market being so big now? At one point in our community, I think gambling will surpass passive investing as a primary investment vehicle.
I agree with you. That's true.
It's coming. It might be that now.
It might be that now. In our community, what you talking about? The conversations that I be having at bank, they're like, bro, in our communities? Bro, that might, that's, I ain't gonna lie, that's a thing now.
It ain't too far off of the stock market and you can actually might have a little bit of knowledge about the shit. I ain't even know the niggas still play street numbers.
One of my people hit the street numbers the other day for 30 grand. I was like, you got damn right.
They still got that? Street numbers ain't there? I know. 30 grand, some one of my people just hit.
Top five potters of the year outside of the show. I'm never acknowledging nobody outside of the show.

That's not true.

We've definitely acknowledged people outside the show.

And I won't do it today.

Oh, okay.

Gotcha.

I won't do it today.

Let's say it for another day.

Everybody's failing.

Great majority.

Everybody's failing.

I know that's going to sound like some bullshit, but I mean.

Yeah.

Everybody is. Shannon.
The bell curve. Shannon.
I know that's going to sound like some bullshit, but I mean, everybody is...

Shannon.

The bell curve.

Shannon. Yeah, I fuck with Shannon.

Gilbert.

Gilbert and Cookin.

I love them.

I'm never talking about the sports people.

I'm not talking about the sports people at all.

I don't even know nobody.

At all.

All right, Ian has a hard out.

I'm asking y'all the rest of these

good questions.

You,

Ian looked at me when the escorts was on our heels.

He's like, how do you do it?

How do you just... How do you keep them off?

I do that.

I say, hey, are you still out of trouble?

Yeah.

I said, I don't do this.

I don't come to places like the Fergola bar. And see, I didn't even have my ring on.
True. I didn't even have my ring on.

You know what I Fleth? When niggas get older, they don't wear earrings anymore.

I got earrings on now. I kept losing my eyes.

I was going to buy stuff.

I got stuff.

I don't see earrings in your ears.

No, I kept losing my eyes.

That's why I stopped.

I got a dick.

Now that don't make you.

I didn't say nothing about that.

Did you have your ears first?

Huh?

You had your ears first?

Yeah, many years ago.

Yeah, you did.

When did you stop?

When did you stop?

When I got infection in my fucking ears. You gotta go in this shit, nigga.
The bullshit, that's why. Yeah, I'm cool.
And I didn't have no ill earring. When I got my shit pierced, I had some bullshit.
I seen niggas that had that shit in their ear. I was like, why did I even walk into this club? I was gonna get something.
How can you tell when it's like... Because they get an ear infection.

You see that keloid on the back of that.

It's ready to get a big ass

Nah, it's going to get a hoop.

Nigga, you got...

That ass. That is disgusting, man.

When's the last time you put an earring in your ish?

Like Naquan, bro.

It's been decades.

But you think it's time again?

I was about to get some.

My shit ripped.

Because you remember back in the day,

I used to sleep in my shits.

Oh, yeah.

And that shit ripped.

It was ripped in my ear.

Yeah.

Oh.

That's like Mel when she's sleeping in her makeup.

Mel don't go to the bathroom. Mel's tipsy as hell and wipe it all off.
Nah, she get right. I have my makeup wipes.

No, not last night. The time he's talking about.
When this nigga's like you around, I just go find Shorty early. What you got to do? Here before money man

comes and drives.

Listen to male egos compete.

Do you think that's ego?

Of course it is. That's ego.

I don't think that's ego at all.

Tell me why.

You just said you rushed the bill

for paying the bill.

No, not in real life, man. How dare you pay the bill over And you got mad at your friend for paying the bill.
No, no, no. Not a real life man.

Don't do that.

I'm just saying.

How dare you pay the bill over?

That's the ego talking right there.

No, I don't look at it that way at all.

How you look at it?

Well, yeah.

Please.

You invited me out as a guest.

I should at least contribute to the table.

See, I think that's his ego.

It is his ego, too.

I invited you out.

If I have to play ego, I invited you out as a guest to a spot that we all go to it ain't it ain't for you now to pay for this entire table i invite you if you do that thank you but you've paid a bunch like you pay you pay it ain't like a so no i got a race i think that's like a courtesy thing. It is.

I know I got a beat. And I know how he get down.
Yeah, I know he got such a good heart. If I don't do it this way, he going to keep doing it that way.
So you just got to be, that's not an ego thing for me. That's like a selfless type of, yeah, I respect this guy.
Yeah. I respect you, too.
And that's the opposite of him and his man fighting over the calamari.

Yeah, for real.

That was ego.

Stop.

That was ego.

Far from.

How?

Again, I know.

That wasn't ego.

No, nothing.

If it was ego, I'd have been like, oh, yeah, it's ain't nothing to swipe.

That would have been nothing.

I don't know y'all.

Oh, my God. I think I know y'all.
Oh my God.

I think I could have picked, what's my man that used to be singing outside the

cafeteria?

Selling the flowers. I could have

come to the mix.

Yo.

Oh no, he was giving them away.

He gave away the flowers.

Gentlemen.

Alright. Ian, thank you, buddy.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good luck with everything you're doing. All your endeavors.
Come on, man. I'll sit right over the road.
Talk to these niggas. He ain't kissing you.
A handshake will suffice. A handshake will suffice.
Shut up. You ain't always got to beg for affection.

You sat up for the... And did like this.

Link did the whole shit.

You did that, man?

Old ass cheekbones.

Haters.

Okay.

Before we go.

Are y'all buying into what they saying LL Cool J meant by saying he she? You mean he she? Blotitious. Sweetie.
Delicious. Give me two scoops.
Love me good. Damn.
Hollister Hollywood. But is he good? In hip hop, and I was a lyricist, I never knew what he was talking about right there.
It was just fire. Who cares? Flavor in the Air remix.
Now they're saying he, she, and there was a transgender in the video, and then that same transgender was at the urinal, or another transgender at the urinal in the Big Papa video, which was a continuation to Warning when she was in the bed next to Big. So some of these things are coming up now.
Do y'all think that LL knew and he, she was about that? No. No.
No. So what do you think it was about? Just LL being LL.
What's pink cookies in the plastic bag getting crushed by a building? Nobody know what the fuck that is, man. Yeah, but there wasn't a mascot in a plastic bag being pink in the video.
So it's like, I'm not mad at he, she just being... Are we sure that the person that was in that video is a transgender? Yeah.
Yes. Why? Because we have nobody found where they at today.
They passed away. They passed away.
Yeah. Oh.

I'm just saying, yeah, like I know,

but it was confirmed.

It was confirmed

that this person

was a transgender.

All right, so y'all think

LL didn't know?

No.

Does any of this change

how you feel about

Biggie's sexual preference?

No.

I don't feel anything

about Biggie's sexual preference

ever.

Or view his sexual preference.

I don't think

it was in question.

No.

I don't care what he's into.

Exactly. We're super woke now.
That nigga made ready to die, though. Oh, I 100% care, and I'm thinking about it.
Why do you care? Because of Puff. Oh.
Because of Puff. Because if we open our mind and think that about Biggie, then who's to say that we're not looking at that kind of like we look at Justin Bieber.
I look at it differently

just based on their age.

Yeah.

So I think that's a little different.

When did they like first...

Well, the age is different.

That's what I'm saying.

Opportunity's not.

True.

I agree with that.

Opportunity's not.

But it's...

And I could take y'all way deeper.

I could take y'all down this,

but I won't.

That could tie into a bunch of...

Hey, bleep this out.

Bleep this out. And you know what they were saying about...
And when you saw the video of Craig Mack, when he was giving his testimony in the church, like the things I've seen, the demon, the devil. No, nigga, Mace.
Mace said dog. Well, Mace said the same, yeah.
Mace said, yo, it got to a point, yeah. All of them niggas retired and turned to God.
If we're close-minded to this stuff, then we won't ever even view it through this lens. Maybe she was beef shit in the street.
She was beef shit in the street. Yeah.
I mean, so you say, and so people think, but I think that Mace and some other people are storing secrets that they're never supposed to. I know the people that wrote his book.
Cameron wrote his book, and she was like, she took, he's so stupid. She said that, we're not recording no more.
Yes, we are. Yeah.
Oh, man. Did you hide him? No, you had him.
That was the nigga's said. Yeah, never mind.
Yo. Girl.
Yeah, I ain't getting into that. After my whole little podcast.
No, because you was like, yo. You don't even know where we at? No, because you was like, yo.
No, I just wanted to bleep out that Craig Mack part because I think it's insensitive and irresponsible. Rest in peace.
To paint that like that. Gotcha.
Rest in peace to Craig Mack, Biggie, just everybody. I don't have anything else.
I went to a crazy baby shower. What made it crazy? Sunday.

Because it's just baby showers are different now.

Shout out to Alley Cat and Sasha.

Shout them out.

I saw a lot of Hollis niggas standing in front of the baby.

There's mad chairs.

There's mad girls there.

But they were standing in front of the baby shower, nigga, lined up.

Nigga, I'm like, I think we got Amazura.

It's not a party, nigga.

Go sit down.

The baby shower's a party now, bro. It goes down to the baby shower.

You crazy. The niggas is just so hard.
I'm like, my niggas is so hood. They want me to come stand with them.
No, nigga. J-R, record these niggas.
Record them. They're standing there doing what? Standing lined up in front of the baby shower.
Just standing there in unison. Like...
Inside the baby shower? Inside. I never saw that shit before.
I said, I never saw this before. There must be some holler shit.
Meatballs must have been trash. Meatballs get all them niggas inside.
Facts. No, they were inside, but they were standing in the front.
Baked beans. You know where the chairs and shit usually be at? All right, y'all, they serving the food.
That's it. That's all it takes.
They weren't outside. They were inside.
Or actually, I didn't even announce it. Once you see one nigga come out with a plate, he's up.
He got a little leaning. He got a little leaning.
He got a balance. Big plate.
Yeah. He got a plate about to break.
Everybody start looking. Everybody do one of these on him? Wait.
We didn't get that. Yeah, yeah.
We out. Fights go down at baby showers? I've heard about them.
Yeah, some shit. I haven't seen them.
I've heard about some shit. I shouldn't, but I'm sure I'm not surprised.
I ain't surprised. Nigga, fights go down at funerals.
Well, that's the thing. Yes, that happened.
They happened at funerals, for sure. I'm done here.
There's nothing else that I want to say outside of that Timberwolves-Nick game the other day really hurt my soul. It really hurt my soul.
Also, I've been texting Mark Lamont pictures of injured 76ers. Y'all seen Paul George? I saw it.
I saw it, bro. Why'd you text him to ice? In the pregame.
No, I don't need to text him to ice. But that little hip, that shit looked awkward, that Paul George shit.
And you got Joel Embiid saying he plans on never playing back-to. Again, on load management now.
So, my heart goes out to you Sixers fans that y'all thought y'all and us was about to have some season long rivalry. Eww.
Anyway, that Timberwolves game hurt my heart. Dante DiVendenzio DiVendenzio looks amazing in that jersey and he was popping mad shit to the bench and to what sound like Tom Thibodeau and then I thought it was all jokes until the end of the game when him and Rick Brunson almost squared up Brunson got into it when he was on the line too yeah but wait you saying Brunson the coach Rick or Jalen no Rick what happened was he was shooting at Tibbs yeah from the foul line I thought I can't go to the hole yeah then Brunson the coach, Rick, or Jalen? No, Rick.
What happened was he was shooting at Tibbs from the foul line. And then Brunson jumped in.
I thought I can't go to the hole. Yeah, then Brunson jumped in in defense of Tibbs.
And at the end of the game, Brunson was like, yo, you know you just did some bitch shit to D. Fincenzo.
And he was like, what? And they started getting to it. He's like, yo, mind your business.
I wasn't even talking to you. I was talking to Tibbs.
You know what I'm saying? And he said some slick shit. Rick Brunson turned back around but Jalen kind of got into the middle of it.
It hurt my heart. It hurt my heart.
I ain't gonna lie to you. And when one of your favorite players leave your team and go somewhere else, they be looking like Jordan.
They be cooking. All them Euro steps, deep shooting.
He was cooking our ass. He was.
I watched that game. I think the Timberwolves made out great in the trade.
And I think the Knicks did too, but I don't really want to see cap. I think both.
The Timberwolves. I think it was a good trade.
Are y'all still in preseason? Yeah, the season starts next week. And the Knicks are not looking good? October 22nd.
They look good. I think they're going to be a top team in the league.
I mean, I just don't want to see it like that. But whatever.
I'm going to watch it. I'll be at the game.
Go Knicks. Go Knicks.
Go Knicks. Go Mets.
Go Yankees. I want to ask about the Mets.
The Mets are, how far are they from making, like, where are we at now? They got to win. It's one-one, right? Three more games.
It's one-one. And then they'll make the series.
They need three more games. Then they make the World Series.
That's right now. The Yankees need three more, and they make the World Series.
If it's the Subway Series, it's going to be nasty. It's going to be lit.
New York is going to be crazy. New York is going to be Queens.
New York is going to be crazy if the Subway Series happened again. So you ain't do the interview, but that's kind of what they was asking.
You would have really liked the interview. What interview? Oh, the MSG show.
Yeah, because the MSG was basically just talking about the resurgence of New York sports. The spirit of New York sports and surrounded by New York sports.
You a diehard New York sports fan across all of the, you know what I mean? So it would have been something genuine that would have been right up your alley. You would have the giant guy.
Would you go to a game, a baseball game? 100%. That nigga likes baseball.
He really likes baseball. He Baseball games.
I'm going to a Subway series.

Oh, you are?

Yes.

The other day they showed a few of the basketball players that went to a hockey game for the first time.

And they was having it.

Yo, they be giving us all the games.

I've never been to hockey games.

It's funny.

Hockey games are fun.

It's lit.

I would like to go to a hockey game.

Let's do it.

Yo, when I used to live across the street from the joint down there, I used to go to the Devils game.

Yo, the Devils shit be on fire.

Fire.

Until the Devils got you out of there.

Devils made sure you stopped coming to them games.

You stupid.

Just watching from home now.

Nah, hockey be dope.

The only thing is, I don't drink.

So when you, like the people that be drunk at the hockey games,

they have a blast.

That's why you go.

That's the point of going to sports games.

I don't do that, but.

I would like to go to a hockey game.

Said I was special to impress you, wanting to be seen as great It's my kiss, thank you for the unconditional And though I may not see you as much, I'm always missing Sacrifice was a fact of life I love

I love

Help me down But you, I love you

I love you

Held me down when I needed it most

Whether shoulder to cry on or I needed to toast

And would never let me go to long

Everybody called it the slum, but we know it is home

Learned from you how to pour my heart in a song

Way ahead of your time, it was just hard to get on

Thank you. Where we from, we supposed to be thug We both shared a different dream, we was closer than blood Learned from you, how to pour my heart in this song Way ahead of your time, it was just hard to get on Ain't gon' lie, just wanted to buy houses for the fam Move them out the hood, give them thousands and some land Them nice sessions of eternal life lessons That I still use today, when I'm uptight, stressing Always said we was veterans, survivors And even though you pass, you'll forever be the largest It was an honor to see you shine, I was blessed, son Cause in the end, as far as friends, he was the best one Gave so much and behaved so clutch I love I love That's Brownsville Kai, I love, rest in peace, and thank you for your contributions.

Okay.

What tame Impala draw?

It's Gallant, actually.

Oh, same thing.

Is this on the Melody and Sleepers page?

Not yet.

All right.

It's called Centigrade featuring Nail.

Nail? Touch and go is worth the wait But how's the hesitation on a fight that cold weather Can't say it's springtime forever Forever Would hate for guilt to be the driving force In a carnal tub of war Keep it cold, pathetic, skim the waves Though ripples try to make it course Some pit stops, caught in the crosswinds Lucky for us, we're in the same boat

Mercury drops in, then we get the cold feet

It's not a mystery, nature's flow

We keep losing sleep

Accusations, icy conversations

Thank you. Nature's flow We keep Losing sleep On accusations I see conversations We don't get back Touching doors Worth the wait But how's the hesitation On a flight that cold weather Can't save springtime

Forever Forever

I'm losing sleep

It's winter to me

If I could just hibernate I said I worked the way Seasons just flow Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh time? Should we let fate decide? And I know that it Can't be springtime Forever But how do we make it through the seasons together? Why get stuck between the lines, baby? Rumination running wild, babe Misconceptions magnify, babe Can't we take it all and try, babe? Captains on the great divide, babe Rumination running wild Running wild Closer To the Polylight Can't we take it On and try Losing sleep From accusations I see conversations We don't get back Touching those worth the weight

But how's the hesitation gonna fight that cold weather

Can't say it's springtime forever

Forever Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, like it. It's kind of sexy.
All right.

All right.

Yo, dawg.

I thought we was going to get one pot without it happening.

We almost did it.

Almost.

Almost there.

It ain't happening.

It's a record.

I can't answer it.

No, these stupid election niggas keep calling my phone.

Get out of here.

You should have answered it.

You ain't do what you're supposed to do with that payola.

Oh, man. Ish, what up? How you feel about your Cowboys, man? We've had an Amari Cooper and Devontae Adams trade since we started recording, which made me think to ask you.
It's frustrating being a Cowboy fan. It would have to be.
Amari ain't want to leave. We got rid of Amari for peanuts.
What did y'all get for? I didn't see.

We kept Gallup after ACL injury and gave Gallup a shit ton of money

and let Amari your number one receiver go.

So imagine if we had Amari and CD right now.

That's one.

Derrick Henry wanted to come to Cowboys.

We ain't even really interviewed in the game.

He out here putting up MVP numbers looking like he 12 again.

Derrick Henry looked ridiculous. We can't run the ball and we can't stop the run.
So we're not even really protecting Dak. So I ain't even really as mad at him.
You know I come in and shit on him too. But it ain't even really his fault.
Yeah, the Cowboys. I don't know, man.
You couldn't stop a runny nose on that bitch. My heart goes out to y'all.
No, it doesn't. It don't.
No, it do. It do, actually.
I'm not trying to be funny. Like, shit, Cowboys get the prime time slot.
Normally, you want to see a good game, you don't want to see the Lions throw it. The head coach was in the end zone.
I think it was just throwing it to the water boy. Hey, hey, let's try this.
They didn't give a fuck. They was disrespectful out there, but, you know, revenge game.
We're going to get them. Revenge game.
I'm over here angry with my team. Steelers talking about they starting Russell Wilson next week.
Why? Stupid. Why? Yeah, dog.
And then they be wondering why these teams don't be good. There don't be no continuity.
Just be trying shit. Fucking dice, bro.
That's nasty. All right, I think I'm ending this bad boy.
Let's see here. You came in pretty good.
Pause to see what you... I came in on some rap shit.
I'm ending on some rap shit. There we go.
There's some good rap shit. I never heard that shit before.
I think it's offended me. Oh, Joe played the same Jeezy sack.
I ain't gonna lie. I was hurt.
I was like, wait, he did this. But I like the records, so I'm not gonna complain.
But damn. That was by design.
I hear you, but you know, Jeezy got a lot of records. If you're gonna put a set together, you play the same three.
I played the same three for energy purposes only. He got other ones you could do with that.
No, no. I wanted those records to get good energy for me and my guys, and that's what I did.

Fuck the niggas.

Oh, shit.

I mean, it was cool at first, you know?

The last thing y'all should ever want me to do is get into my rap bag so y'all could be confused.

I'm like, we're hopping walls.

The people, they started, you know, to talk about things that make sense.

I like the fuck.

Rock, what up?

People read and shit.

I like the fuck out of here. Rock, what up, what up, what up? I don't know where that shit come from, man.
I was like, yo, I'm fucking amazing. For real.
For real. I don't even know how this shit started.
It went down like this. They just snuck through the door, people see, snuck the human, crap through one, two more heads, we getting nervous.
That's three now, they wanna break north Too late, five more tore the door straight the fuck off It's all now, getting down in the trenches They soldiers getting them all after splinters on rack of their benches Since this war, ain't shit sweet this clique this place Then they transform their chest More cigs, never spare clowns Ruck and rock, be the rooks, hold the square down Are you prepared? Now I tear down Any opponent who's similar

Stops, fuck around me while your ass I obliterate

Let me show

Yes!

Woo!

Let me show this shit here

Is the flow I'm the only one lost.

I'm the only one lost.

Yes, yes, y'all.
