It's a beautiful day here in Atlanta.
I just wanted to shout out and just spread some love and some good cheer.
And you know, life, life is out of here life it, right?
You nude your best.
But just wanted to remind you as I remind myself that no matter what's going on, there's always a reason to smile.
Like if you just take a minute to stop and take stop,
I guarantee you can find at least one reason to smile.
And if for some reason you can't find a reason to smile, then
that's probably the best time to be the reason for somebody else to smile so
neutral buttons
that's all i got um listen to love because it's been a minute
peace and love and uh
i'll be back soon
When I was 15,
I was in the hospital with my grandfather
and I literally watched him take his last breath.
And if you've ever seen someone
take their final breath, there's this peace
that comes over, just washes over.
And I realized, so of course it was, you know, it was emotional and I was sad and all of that, but Even at 15, I realized that when we grieve for people who have passed on, we're grieving for ourselves because we missed them.
And when I think about people in
my life who have gone on, transitioned, and I think about the lives that they've led, like they were really good people, there's somewhere in my head that goes, yeah, they really made me off to a better place.
Because I look around this world and be like, oh.
Yeah.
So, and when we talk about why are the good people
taken away from us?
And I go, maybe they're being rewarded or something.
Celebrating life today it's fragile and in the blink of an eye never know you never you never know so speaking of
we celebrating life today

Hey, some of them don't even hang up right away, so you can hear the bind.
You can hear a tow truck or some shit.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
What you in a net duct tape, boy?
What kind of body you wear?
For real.
Some of these niggas woke up talking about, yo, adopt this little nigga for a few summers.
Like, no, nigga, take care of your kid.
Yo, people are wondering what we're talking about.
The headline from the New York Times today says,
how does this podcast star make 20
to 0, 20 million dollars a year?
And we all sat up and asked the same question.
How the fuck does he do that?
Did you read it?
I read the article.
Yeah, I read everything.
They gave a breakdown?
A little something.
Yeah, yeah.
I encourage everybody to read this article.
It's a good article.
You can't say that.
I didn't write it.
I'm complimenting the writer.
Yeah, but they're bigging you up.
Let us say that shit.
They're bigger y'all up too.
They are.
They are.
Well, no, they big.
They mentioned that.
They bigging y'all up too.
They say we're there too.
Don't get humble now.
They sit down with them.
Right?
I had to read this article.
I had to read the article now.
How'd you feel letting the New York Times put this information out there?
You've been very sort of cagey and quiet about revenue, and in the last month, people have gone from hearing big numbers like $900,000 a month to finding out that that's actually minuscule in comparison to this $20 million a year.
That's a lot of information for the world to have.
How'd you feel about that?
On the publishing side.
Here you go, y'all.
Y'all gonna.
No, the 20 is some bullshit.
You know,
how do you feel, man?
The 20 is a slight.
None of this is possible without the fans.
It felt good.
Stephanie Mills was good.
Without the people that was there from day one.
Peasy, Parks, come on now, Erickson.
Yeah.
Y'all.
Yeah, we appreciate it.
Yeah, no, it's dope.
Last time I was in the Times, it was the entertainment section
seven years ago.
That's fire.
This ain't entertainment now.
It's business.
It ain't entertainment no more.
That's what's up.
That's fire.
Shout out to them.
And I hope black media covers this well because I do too.
These are the stories that people don't cover.
They'll cover.
They're going to cover it.
It's just not going to be the way you think they're going to cover it.
They might.
It depends.
And that's the part I don't like.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if you can cover the other shit from last year, then you can cover this shit.
That's all I'm saying.
Let the cheers be as loud as the criticism.
Exactly.
I said, no.
No.
Yeah, it should be.
That's not how it works.
All you motherfuckers.
Everybody knows that.
All you motherfuckers that that made fun of my man when niggas, whatever, nigga, make fun of this.
This is a slap in your face, nigga.
Self-built, independently.
That's a fact.
And this is a testament to how, and a motivation to others that don't give up believing yourself and it get done, nigga.
We salute you, man.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
All Josiah.
We're going to make a shitload of jokes, but I agree with everything.
I know y'all.
I know y'all do.
I know y'all.
You on your ass, though.
How y'all feel about that co-host part?
They did mention co-host.
Tell us, tell us.
I ain't remember.
You read it.
They mentioned co-host revenue or co-host income.
That's the y'all part.
Yeah, that's the us.
It says Joe Button in them.
It said
payment of these contractors.
I guess that's us.
That's the big up.
Payment of these contractors and the on-air talent is the company's biggest expense.
For example, more than $1.5 million annually goes to the co-hosts of the Joe Button podcast.
And they say they include Clean Queensflip, Me, Mel, Parks, Ish, and ICE.
And Amani.
They didn't say Amani.
I know, but I'm saying.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Shout out to Amani.
I wasn't trying to play him.
I just said they didn't say it in the article.
They should have, though.
Yeah, they should have.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's nice.
How'd that make y'all feel?
Because that's going to change people.
People will start calling y'all too.
I've been getting phone calls.
I know you're going to get some of that.
And that's not even accurate.
No, that's a good thing.
So, yo, please keep calling for you.
No, that's a good thing.
It said 1.5 a year collectively.
Yeah.
No.
That's great.
No, it said more there.
Oh, that's great, too.
It said more than.
The rumors was that you were paying individually that.
Yeah.
Everybody.
That's great.
Rumor where?
You think I'm joking?
The streets.
Nigga, the streets be saying that niggas make a million dollars a year up here a piece each.
That's why I left the streets.
All right.
You come in here and report street shit.
If you're in the streets long enough and you're not of it like me.
I don't mean those streets.
I mean like the internet streets are, they say that.
But they got a calculator.
Yeah.
This is prior to this.
So I'm happy that they thought you was making 40 or 50.
Oh, come on now.
I mean,
I mean, yo, I mean, I hate this motherfucker.
Yeah, but they definitely over-inflated what they thought everyone up here was probably making.
So it's probably good for people to.
Indeed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bring them, bring them back down.
Yeah.
Well, well, if we don't do that time speak, then there is no voice on the independent contractor side to say what the potential could be if you go that route.
True, right?
You always get the headlines from the people that are partnered with
large industries,
and they playing a different game with the shareholders and yada, yada, yada, yada.
But there is nobody that's going to say, hey,
you can do it this way.
I mean, outside of the streamers who are just hitting that lick and saying, but even that is a.
But that's still a lot of partnerships.
I know.
so yeah it's dope it's dope to see uh
head down back to the work till till i'm 50.
and the ownership in the next five years that's that's really what it's dope is coming yeah like whatever happened next with with technology or whatever
nobody can make your decisions for you
when the next version of streaming drops yeah yeah yeah because that's the one thing you mentioned to streamers like you partner up with their they that company still owns that content though right
listen shout out to everybody getting it out there.
Yeah, yeah.
Shout out to everybody getting to it.
Where there's a will, there's a way, and it's out there.
You can do it.
Where would y'all like to begin?
I don't know if y'all want to start with Malcolm Jamal Warren.
I don't want to bring the energy.
I was about to say, I didn't want to get that heavy, that suit.
When you said people getting it, I was thinking about Homegirl that settled her suit with Shannon Sharp.
Yeah,
you get it.
She got it.
I mean, she's retiring from OnlyFans.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know what that means for some of y'all.
Y'all might be fans of hers or y'all y'all might be having investment.
I'm not familiar with the lady's work.
I'm going to make a citizen's arrest if I ever see that lady.
Yeah, right.
That lady needs to be under the jail.
Guess what else she's going to do?
She's going to crack your ass.
Buzzby will be right where you're pumping.
You crazy?
That lady needs to be
under the jail.
Did they announce how much you made?
No, they didn't.
It was enough for her to leave her only for her.
Sure.
Yeah, that to me was like the signal because they did the thing where like, you know, you you don't disclose the amount.
Shannon got what he needed, I think, maybe to save his ESPN job, potentially, right?
Which was they both agreed that it was like a tumultuous but consensual
relationship.
That word consensual in there.
That's major.
Well, that's where my gripe lies.
Because then, why?
What's the payment?
How paying me to say that?
I would like to know
how y'all both came to understanding that what took place was
tumultuous and consensual, and not
that's like when tumultuous and consensual yet still warranted a payday
that's weird well no the initial statement was
grape I don't want to keep saying the word but if you come out the gates with grape and land at tumultuous and consensual I would like to know how to fuck her I'd like to speak to the mediator this lady needs to be arrested well the most the most generous read of her side I'm with you let me let me be her attorney for a minute minute or her advocate for a minute.
What she would say is, I was harmed, and the only way for me to get justice in this case is for me to agree that there was some consensuality to the relationship.
It doesn't necessarily even mean that she, because you said in the relationship was consensual.
Not everything that...
happened between them is consensual.
The relationship was consensual.
So I feel like there's some wordsmithing happening so both people can still stand on their square and say I didn't lie, but allow them to get out of this.
And from her side, it's like, I hear what you're saying, which is is if you were screaming the R word to the rafters, why are you not doing that now?
And it might be, well, if this is the only way I can get justice, if I don't do this, I'm not going to get anything.
What's the justice payment?
Yeah, for a lot of people, civil is the recourse, particularly if you can't get a criminal.
And that's where, depending on
your
perception of that, depends on where you stand.
I'm not looking at the payment as justice.
I look at the payment as a shakedown.
And if there was a way for you to come to an understanding that this was tumultuous, then it means that that existed when you were saying that I was graping you.
But she might still feel that way.
She might still feel like she was assaulted.
That's all I'm saying.
I don't want to assume that because she accepted the payment that she's lying.
I'm not.
I'm only going by the words tumultuous and consensual.
Right.
Yeah.
But see, that's what I'm saying.
Grape meant something.
Grape meant something different when I was growing up.
But remember, she's saying the relationship is consensual.
I know.
They've posted text messages with them talking about relations.
No, no, I'm not disagreeing.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm saying the public statement that just came out wasn't necessarily.
Marcus kind of swayed me.
And there is such a thing as.
I got to write my own notes now.
Someone that you're with.
Yeah, that's what I'm true.
You could have a consensual relationship and still sexually assault that.
That's what's true.
And I think that's what this statement is holding space for.
For her to say.
That's what you said.
Yeah, that's all I'm saying.
And I'm not saying it's true.
And I don't necessarily believe her.
I have no idea who's telling the truth here.
I ain't got no idea who's true.
It's too beautiful of a day outside for me to reply to that with the reply that that calls for.
What part?
Because that's the part where it's murky and uncomfortable and sensitive.
This is the thing.
I know a person personally.
Okay.
No, I mean...
Every party knows a party personally.
One of my exes.
She had a boyfriend, and he.
Great.
She was her boyfriend.
This was her man, and she told him one day they was arguing, whatever, whatever, and he wanted to have sex.
And she said no, and he took it.
So I agree with Parker.
I'm saying that you can be in a consensual relationship with somebody.
You could have had sex with them 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 times.
And this one time or these two times that you say no and they take it is still constituted as grape.
Wait, does it sound like I'm opposed to that?
No, no, no.
No, because I don't know.
No, I'm going to step off like that.
No, no, no.
I don't know.
No, that's how you say it now.
I don't think you're that guy.
I think your initial statement, which makes sense is if you said X, how's it now become Y?
And I think what we're saying is, she's still saying.
I think grape should be treated like a crime at all times and not like the big joker in your back pocket used for convenience.
I agree.
I agree.
And that's where it gets tough.
And it sounds fucked up to say that, but I mean,
it is what's happening out here a little bit.
No, that's not fucked up to say.
Yo, fam, I think that it's scary that any nowadays, and this again.
Nowadays, if you are a man that has any financial
ascension, you have to be worried about a girl that you might have had sex with 15 years ago coming back saying yo 15 years ago this guy did something to me
that is a horrible feeling and a position to be in
unless you did it well yeah i'm not unless you did it yeah yeah i'm talking about i'm not and i'm not disagreeing with the women that these things happen to we all have empathy for them but i'm saying as a man now you are being looked at as a lick it's a it's a come up i have more than empathy for the victims of this stuff yeah because that's the scariest thing in the world to be thinking that you're vibing with somebody who's bigger and stronger than you and them just, you know.
Yeah.
That's horrifying.
That's horrifying.
My heart goes after that.
So I have more than empathy for them.
That experience is so terrifying that what is being turned.
Sorry.
This shouldn't even be.
Yeah, you know what today is.
You can't put that article out and not think your phone's going to blow off all that.
No, you about to put on that Johnny Kemp.
Just got paid
Friday night.
Tony,
I'm glad.
Hopefully, everybody out there got resolved.
Hopefully, Shannon got Shannon's life is never the same no matter what happens.
And that's the crazy thing.
And that's the same thing.
Shannon's life is never the same no matter what happens.
That's the crazy part.
And she's going to get to go off back into obscurity and anonymity, back into this.
Rich.
Yeah.
Rich anonymity.
Even if it was shorts compared to what the 50s were.
Fam, she got seven figures.
I would imagine
in her early 20s.
Yeah, yeah,
she might have got eight figures, possibly, yeah.
It wouldn't shock me in your early 20s.
So, yeah, nobody knows me when I'm in Saint Trope
eating lobster salad.
Right.
Shannon Sharp walks through it.
Like, that's fucked up, bro.
Like, unless he did it.
Unless he did it.
True, that's all I'm saying.
I'm just saying, I don't know.
I don't know.
You're right.
And the whole story is like, but the last thing for me about this is there are some flags here.
Let's take who who did it or not.
That's where I'm going.
Yeah, but that still don't make him a crook.
And that's where we make it.
And that's where the water becomes, but that's where the water becomes muddy because we identify flags of this older man messing with a younger woman, but we have to hold the younger woman accountable, the people accountable, that's using this Joker to put the older man into a situation.
Unless he did it.
Unless he did it.
I have to.
And to your point, the flags that we might look at as flags, we all collectively will look at as flags.
Yo, you're 50 something
and you dating a girl that's 19.
To us, you're a piece of shit.
For sure.
Don't make them a crook.
So the flag that we call in a flag, it ain't really a flag.
No, it's a flag.
No, it's still a flag.
It's a flag for us.
It ain't a flag for the law.
Right.
I'm not saying a legal flag.
I'm saying just talking to men.
about making good choices.
That's not one.
Right, that ain't one.
The 20-year-old girl at the gym is the worst choice you can make.
That's all I'm saying.
Forget it.
That's what I said.
Take crime off the table for a minute.
Just don't do it.
Your life will never be better from that.
Mark, can I ask you a question?
Why are we so loud when it comes to our black brothers doing this, but when the white people do it, we're not as loud?
I want to ask Mark.
I know, I hear you, but I want to ask Mark this question because
for everybody, it's discussing across the board.
A lot of people get praised for
a lot of
A-list celebrities get praised for having the young hot chick.
Oh, you got, you got, they, so why are we so loud when it comes to our black brother that's in the media space?
I'm only laughing because we said we weren't starting heavy.
I know.
Okay,
I just want to get some OnlyFans jokes off.
I didn't know he was going to go to the other room.
I'm not stepping on no talks today.
But you just stepped on it, nigga.
No, no, I did.
I don't want to step on it.
We should start finding him or something.
That's what we need to do.
I'll be talking about that 20 million.
Here's what I'm saying, man.
That shit hurt me.
Yeah, don't let it landed on you.
Yo, man, you don't know how I feel about that, man.
I'll never be the same.
Yeah, let me either.
No, well, one, I think people do make fun of the DiCaprios and come after them in a a certain way.
And we do think it's gross.
We had a whole conversation up here about Bill Belichick.
Yeah.
So I think it's a narrative to say that we don't do that.
I think we actually do do that.
When I say we, I'm talking about the broader world.
The broader world.
That's what I'm talking about.
Not us particularly.
Because, I mean, it's a white supremacist world.
Got it.
Yeah.
I can't even say it.
We just heard, what's his name on the ESPN?
Making jokes about dating a 20-year-old Shane Shane Goes.
On the SPs.
Making jokes about.
And to me, it's all gross, and we should all hold people accountable for that.
I don't care so much about white.
Well, I got it.
I don't like it.
In terms of culturally, like, I'm worried about us.
So that's why I focus on us.
I don't like when we justify, yo, but the whites do it.
Fuck them.
Exactly.
Like, my standard or my moral compass is not.
The bar ain't what white people do.
My reference point ain't what white people do.
Just because white people doing it, that don't mean it's okay if we do it.
If we think it's fucked shit, it's fuck shit if they do it.
And so if you don't watch a whole lot of white media, you might not be aware.
You probably watch a lot more black media than you watch the white people.
Which is when we critique ours, it's like kicking their backs in.
that might be true too maybe they need their backs kicked in sometimes okay but but um
espn does shannon sharp we're gonna see him on nfl sunday this sun this fall uh
it might look he he could pass off for a couple months because that might have been with espn that might have been their stipulation
yeah but football start in a month yeah
not even i mean his press release said back then that announcement probably was for
football starting a month.
I'm sure.
Yeah, that's what it feels like.
It felt like a football announcement.
Because when he first took time off from ESPN, he said, I'll be back for a football season.
Oh, yeah.
He'll be back.
Yo, bro, even then.
I got him coming back.
I'm totally switching.
Beginning of the season.
I didn't see it before, but I also didn't factor in the state of ESPN,
which is why he will be back.
I think if Disney was big dick Disney like we're used to them being, then they tell him to fuck off.
But that's not going to happen.
They gave Pat McAfee the sports center block and let him curse and let him curse out Stephen A.
And let him, they let him do whatever he want up there
because there's a new way to do things.
So, and in that new way, Shannon's pretty important.
He valuable.
Shannon Sharp is pretty important in that new way of doing things.
If you're going to crush him, which I'm sure there was a C-suite meeting about, then who's his replacement?
Y'all got to go build one.
And it ain't another one.
No, it ain't another Shannon.
Shannon another one.
It ain't another Shannon, but there are talks that are saying that
TV Shannon,
they're basically saying,
well,
it's not me.
They're saying he's a B.
He's not an A.
He needs the A to be really the Shannon that we want to see.
Who the hell said that?
Who said that?
His man at the network.
Not me.
Bro, if you read any of the stuff, that's what they're saying.
I love it.
That Shannon is a B.
That's what they're saying.
Where do they get that from?
I think that's true.
He is a B.
Historically, he's been a B outside of the B.
He shines as a B.
Yeah.
He shines as a B.
I don't think that's.
presence is a very good thing.
I don't think it's a diss.
It's not a B.
It's not a diss.
It's not a diss.
Yo, it's not a diss.
We take the wrong things as diss.
Shannon can be funny as a B.
Yeah, I don't want him driving a conversation.
And that's where he's immensely dope when he can be funny, when he can bring out personality and all other stuff.
We've also just ever seen him really be the A outside of, like I said, the link.
He's an A on his show.
Yeah.
He's an A on anything that he does away from the network.
I think that's his point.
TV Shannon ain't that.
But then we can't call him a B mic.
Are you just saying?
Then we can't call him a B mic because anybody is a B mic next to Skip Bayless, who has the deal at
ESPN and FS1.
That's true.
He's not bringing in nobody to be a.
That's a good point.
And he was an A enough next to Skip.
They're not putting him with just A mics.
They putting him next to dynamic people that run shit.
Steven A.
So the effect that he's having is A Mic effect.
The revenue he brings in, the advertisers, all that shit is A Mike.
So I'm not,
I cannot go to sleep and call him a B
Well, he should just wait for the A-Mike to go on vacation and then just take that shit off.
Well, the rumor was that ESPN was clearing out that whole PTI slot and all of that shit for Shannon to be the A-Mike.
And now that this bought them leverage.
All this shit bought them leverage.
Let's say his deal for $100 million might not have been $100.
Let's say it was $75.
Oh, yeah, now you get him on a cheat.
Now you get him for $35.
Now you get him on a cheat.
Now you're getting him for $35.
I think that is bullshit.
That's nasty.
That's crazy.
It's crazy.
Unless he takes it.
Which part?
Catching the talent of A.
Mike and the bad times and bringing them in and making them B-Mike?
I think this situation is really fucked up.
I know you're telling a joke.
This situation, I think, is really fucked up.
Me too.
It's real fucked up.
It takes a lot of time.
I don't think so.
I'm struck.
You know what?
Does it depend on what again?
Part of me is like, if he did it, right?
That's that.
Let's take that off the table, though, right?
If you take that that off the table.
If you take that off the table, he just did some, made some dumbass choices repeatedly.
We've all made dumbass choices in our life.
They shouldn't be $50 million choices.
Well,
if I'm paying you $100 million, I would hope that you make better choices.
Because he didn't get paid $100 million.
Because you're talking about Disney.
I mean, part of it is like, this hurts this.
This came out once it was rumored that he was going to get $100 million.
Oh, y'all think it's the...
Oh, you think it like that?
The next month?
No, no, I'm saying you think that was like a deliberate, like.
The next month.
Oh, you getting what?
Buzzby.
Buzzing.
He's buzzing.
I got you.
Fear him.
Like, man, please.
I feel you.
I don't know.
Yo, if he's didn't do it.
Anytime I see something, bro, my question is always, why is it happening right now?
Why am I getting this information right now?
That's it.
So
when Shorty dropped the lawsuit and everything, okay, why write this up?
Oh, I hear what you said.
I thought you were saying something even more devious.
I thought you were saying the network was in on it.
No.
No, I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying that.
It wouldn't shock me, but I'm not saying that.
But I just, why right now?
Whether somebody put her up to it, whether it was her and her own brain doing it, whatever,
I find it ironic that as soon as the news hit, yo, he's looking at a $100 million deal.
Now this happens.
Now you don't get the $100 million deal.
I don't think it's that deep of a conspiracy.
If I see someone that's on a massive ascension and about to go into the fucking stratosphere and I have a
potentially reason to sue,
I'm going to fucking sue right now.
It makes sense.
Yeah.
Mark, the reason I'm not looking at it like he did something, and I'll say this in closing, is because no other entity out there is looking at it like he did something.
And yes,
she got some civil money, but as we've just seen, the state could watch this.
The feds could watch this.
If we feel like you broke a law, we are going to come for criminal charges against you.
None of that's happening.
She just got paid.
That's tough on sexual assault, though.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it just takes one word against the other.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's hard to...
We just watched it.
saw it.
All they need is a witness.
Yeah, but that's.
They didn't win.
I'm about to say they got the ass kicked.
The only thing they got was the prostitution part.
And that's what a whole investigation.
That's what a whole lot of investigation.
But in this case, you're talking about just a one-on-one act.
I hear what you're saying, bro.
You know what I mean?
I'm just saying, it's hard to prove sexual assault in general.
I got you.
You know what I mean?
Again, and I'm not saying she.
Again, I have no idea who's telling the truth here.
I just know that if I work for Disney and I know that that particular brand has an investment in the host being spotless,
I know going in that even fucking a 20-year-old OnlyFans model is bad for business.
As opposed to,
I'm with you.
That's all I'm saying.
In terms of choices, I agree with you.
I agree.
But when he was fucking Shorty,
that was three years before he became the man that we see that's eligible for $100 million.
He met her when she was 19.
Yeah, but he was talking as recently as like last January.
It was real recently.
He was fucking her for like two or three years.
And he wasn't wasn't nobody, by the way, three years ago.
But he wasn't a $100 million man.
I know.
I still think that you need to behave.
No, he should definitely have practiced way
different level of discernment.
As a $50 million man, as a $20 million man.
As a $60 million.
As a $1 million man.
If he made $500, he used to have more discipline to discern that.
And I'm down to have a conversation about his decision-making and discernment or lack thereof.
Just not in this.
In this situation, I'm with Mark.
If he did that, this punishment is not enough.
True.
And if he didn't do it, boy, this is twisted.
Yeah, yeah, I think that's a good summation.
Summation, yeah, that's what I got for y'all on that.
And brighter news, music.
We got some new music.
We got some new music, man.
We got a Monday drop.
I love the Monday drop.
I love the non-Friday.
I love the non-midnight.
I love everything different from the drops that we usually get.
Right, me too.
Midnight is a brutal time to fucking stay up and listen to music on a school night.
Yeah, especially when y'all not making memorable music.
That part's too.
What?
Saturday.
Saturday, I forgot y'all dropped off.
Forcing myself to do this.
Stay up till 12.30 and fucking get some mid.
And then don't let it be one of those.
Oh, we fucked up.
It ain't dropped yet.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, no, no.
I stopped waiting up for them.
If it's not there at 12.05,
it's a rap.
See you in the morning.
I want to shout out even how he announced that shit.
With a vibe.
Because I think my sister was at that show.
We took on Tyler the Creator.
Yeah, Tyler the creator.
Tyler the Creator.
Tyler the Creator, brand new album.
He just did
however many nights in New York City sold out.
My little sister went.
Everybody had a blast.
My niece went to
Philly, said it was an amazing show.
I can't wait to go to the door.
I can't wait.
We in there.
Yeah, we in there.
But just to announce a full-length project in the middle of your
four nights sold out in New York City with three days, three days' notice, two days' notice.
Like, that was ridiculous.
That's some bold shit.
Actually, he didn't even even announce it.
He just put a date up.
Because people were rumoring, is it a video?
What's he?
Nobody, well, a handful of people.
We didn't think a new album is dropping in the middle of the tour.
Like, all right, you dropping a video for your song, or you dropping, you know, maybe a deluxe or something, a brand new album while you're already touring your last album.
I do want to mention that I don't know that this is, I don't know if it feels or if he considers this to be an album in the same way he's considered his last
several.
It's very short.
It's 30 minutes, I think.
Yeah, 29.
Yeah, it felt a little mixtaped to me.
That's that's all I'm saying.
What's the difference to that?
Not much.
That's an album.
Yeah, album, man.
Yeah.
He ain't about to call it a mixtape.
Well, even if he did, on the back end, it ain't.
Yeah, it ain't gonna sell it.
Yeah, not at all.
I didn't get a chance to listen to it yet because I was tired of it.
How good is it?
I like it, first of all.
You're either going to love or hate this album.
I went right into it.
All right, first off, let's rewind a little bit.
A fake track list started going around.
A lot of hip-hop features on there.
Kendrick, clips, you know, stuff.
And he addressed that.
Hey, this is fake.
Y'all can stop.
Another tweet goes out, and I see all that talk about a concept album.
This ain't that either.
Y'all can stop.
So that I found weird.
Because if you're doing a surprise drop or surprise announcement, it's like, so.
I'm like, okay, he's gearing up for something different and he's trying to prep people forward.
Hey, don't expect whatever you're expecting.
So I kind of in my head was like, okay, he's going left field a little bit.
Yeah.
This is a.
It's an odd future album to me.
You know what it reminded me of?
It goes back to that, Bob, to me.
You know what it reminded me of?
When Snoop made sexual seduction.
Like,
the beat, how you hear him see over, it's not usually what you used to, but it still worked.
Yeah.
That's how I feel about this album.
Interesting.
Different, of course, not the same.
This just reminded me of earlier Tyler, where it was a little more chaotic.
At least the first half is a little more chaotic and less melodic as opposed to the last few albums.
A little more edgy,
still very hip-hop.
Like, he's rapping, it's got like an 80s kind of it actually, somewhere it felt to me somewhere between 80s, like run, um, run DMC, the 80s hip-hop, like Def Jam hip-hop, and like 2000s hip-hop.
See, I heard, I heard that run, like you said, early 80s LL.
Reminded me of this.
This is what I got.
Hey,
I could just hear a Tyler verse over this and we fine.
For sure.
We play some other shit.
Hey.
Play some other shit that this Tyler reminds me of.
What?
I want
a place to stay.
This Tyler shit sound like the greatest gay night in the history of gay nights.
Hold up, this shit sounds like, what's my shit at?
Hold up.
Hold up, man.
Cece?
Hey.
Nah, you taking this shit.
This is the night.
Nah, that's what it sounds like.
Nah, I didn't get that.
Yeah, all right, well, right.
This is the night?
No.
Right after this, I got you.
I'm going to play some Tyler shit.
Flip, you can't fuck with me on the white box, boy.
This is the night.
That's not the song.
Nah,
you're too young.
Oh, you're too young to know me, niggas.
I don't know the name of it.
I just know the words.
Don't worry, you're the hook coming on for you.
Dancing.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I know this shit, nigga.
Nah, you're too young for this.
Let's go, Tyler.
Talk to him.
Nah, I didn't get this.
I didn't get that.
I see how you could, because I mean, it's still that same
as Tyler, too.
It's the 80s synthesized drugs that synthesizers.
It's the same thing I was talking about.
You definitely making me not want to listen to this shit.
Nah, this shit making me.
Let's go.
Dog, hey, you playing.
New Tyler, bring, ring, ring.
I like this record.
I like it too.
Me too.
I like it too.
I like the second half of the project.
Me too, yeah.
The first couple, like I said, it feels like old, older Tyler.
Hey,
let's go, let's go, let's go.
Let's go, it's.
This sounds like the gay niggas took all your ecstasies.
It sounds like the gay niggas stole your drugs, Dash.
Hey,
let's go.
Let's go.
I like that song.
I do like that song.
I like that song.
Let's see.
More Tyler.
More Tyler for your head tops.
Let's see here.
Tyler.
Do do do do do do.
Where's that song?
Should sound like Apollonia 6.
Niggas really weird.
When I get to snapping like do-rock rock, really got the juice like Tupac.
Surely got a strong jaw might chew rock rock.
Got me coming out the blue like Lou Cop.
I've been rocking by myself on the floor.
Jump off the porch, me, I float.
Niggas say I'm too sick, hot chill, chew, chill.
Stop
Let's get rid of them.
Old Tyler Boddini, fuck that.
Way in your mama.
Say baby with Trick.
Fuck you.
It's like when the gay nigga in the club try to beef with you, man.
So you gotta.
They watching the karate niggas.
He in the back digging like dance.
Yo,
nigga.
Bro, you can't can't say that as the guy that played crack.
I'm going to say, that's you, nigga.
I don't know where the fuck you are, yo.
Yo, you know, I just learned today that Brolock is not a word.
It is in the hood.
Everybody here knows what I mean.
They didn't put it in the dictionary like the other shits?
They had.
Oh, it's in the urban.
No, Brolock is not a real word.
And I did not know that until I went and tried to type it today after the Times article.
Getting rid of the nose.
Nigga.
Yo, you know, I know I'm getting old.
Spellcheck don't even understand what I'm trying to write.
I don't me either.
Yeah, that's my that's my ops.
They don't even get what I'm they don't help me no more
That shit really ain't a no it ain't a word slang term.
It's not a word
yo man
dictionary It's saying that America school we think the hood is bigger than what it is
Apparently mesomorphically chiseled buff muscular diesel built nigga mesomorphically chiseled you shouldn't say mesomorph And you wouldn't be so smart neither if Fraser had his education fund.
Oh, shit.
That's the real scam of the family.
Oh, shit.
Shit.
Honeyman.
That's funny, son.
Oh, my God.
Anyway.
Oh, you acting like Mel.
Oh, shit.
Right after the first time.
Yeah.
Brothers and surgery and his wife just called it.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Mark, you look too mature for that.
Oh, my God.
It's taking all, man.
Anywho,
what do y'all think overall, though, about the album?
I didn't love it like I've loved the last five or so Tyler projects, but I still enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it.
I'm with you.
It's not the last, I would say, what, Igor.
We listened to Chromacopia at the lake.
My niece was playing it probably because she was hyped to see this.
That album is fucking incredible.
I went back to that so incredible weeks ago,
getting ready for the torso.
So I've just been listening to a bunch of Tyler.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That album is incredible.
I do fuck with this album, though.
Me too.
I just got to figure out
where he wanted me to fuck with this app, right?
I put it on.
I put it on in the gym first, which was a mistake.
Yeah, no, this is not.
I could have fucked with it in the gym today.
Oh, no.
That NWA shit I just heard you could.
Nah.
Nah.
That shit is nice and up tempo, you know what I mean?
Nah, that's what I thought.
100 miles and running, you could.
I put that shit on in the gym, and it was, for me, it wasn't helping me.
Because you kept thinking about some gay shit.
no you couldn't listen to the clock you can't listen no weight while you think about some gay jokes
doing the cleaning jerk
and with the tight ass i was about to say
they not even showing your dick print they showing Your balls, so now it just looks like you're in the gym with a camel, the dude camel.
Come on.
Yeah, they're showing your balls, though.
Until you started writing the gay jokes in your head, and then you looked in the mirror and were like, oh, shit.
I cut this off.
I learned that shit.
Maybe I relate.
Let me put a chow in there.
Then I went to turn it on.
Then I went to turn it on.
Like when I was starting my day, getting the shower and shit.
I was like, nah, this is way more.
We're getting
work.
I just got to figure out.
He wanted me to hear that shit at the rave or some shit at the sound factory.
I got to figure out where he wanted me to get into this bad music.
You put it on in the drive.
You had to put it on the drive.
It was like a drive.
Highway music, bro.
Oh, see, I don't drive.
All right.
Y'all are driving.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
You should start driving.
Okay.
Got a lot of nice toys out there.
You should drive.
Yeah.
You know?
Drive us crazy.
I can't afford nice toys.
We saw them.
Remember, you came here and set all the keys on the table?
Remember?
Colorful array.
You got some new keys?
You said all the keys, yeah?
I heard you got new keys.
I don't have new keys.
And you put the keys right there, too.
Remember?
Flag.
Separated them, too.
It's like the whole map of Europe.
Shit, color coordinated.
Color things, man.
Yo, just throw me that orange.
You see, you try to make it.
People, let me just say this.
He tries to make this face
to try to not encourage me to keep going in.
But today,
today for the first time, you may see a lot of cuts.
You may see me come outside, go outside, come back in with a different expression.
Today is the day that we push the line today.
He does this thing where you look at me and like when he turned his head like, nigga, yeah, shut up.
Nah, not today.
Not today at all.
You want it, Flip?
Kind of, kinda.
I'm just on it to support my man.
That's all.
And I need that support, so thank you.
Thank you for that.
I appreciate that.
I need to be a little more supportive, a little more jolly, because when you do that, it looks like, you know, Pops call.
Hey, yo, Flip doing that shit again?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't want to know this.
I got 20 million reasons to be jolly.
Wow.
Nah.
That's pretty good.
You know, a couple more.
Like, way more.
A couple more.
Way more.
Niggas you proud of yourself.
It's going to say that no matter what.
That's not true.
It's gonna say that no matter what.
That's not true.
You think you know some shit.
He does know you.
Okay.
He knows you.
You know what is funny?
Real quick.
It's funny watching everybody else react to you now, though.
Yeah, you might get some IOU now.
If that was your thing that you wanted to do.
I'm not looking for that.
I love my baby.
No, I ain't talking about him.
I love my baby.
And I'm talking about your peers.
And I believe in marriage.
That's funny now.
Good answer.
He really believes in marriage.
Hey, yo, Mark.
Before next April 15th.
No doubt about it.
Hey,
I'm going to tell you who's going to be married before April 15th.
The more he believe in marriage.
No, I believe it, man.
I'm a smart man.
It's very smart.
Very smart.
What was he talking about?
Just Tyler.
Tyler.
Not me.
Just Tyler.
Just admiring you.
Just the fuck out of here, man.
Looking good.
Thank you.
Yeah, Tyler.
Well, last week also, Ray Kwan's album came out.
That was no clothes.
Yeah, which is a solid album.
I enjoyed it.
You know, I heard some extreme takes on the album.
Like, this is the greatest album ever, and this is the worst album ever.
Neither is true.
I think it's a slightly above-average album, and it's really enjoyable.
And I also like the fact that it's licensed.
It's a deal with Mass Appeal Records through his company.
Mass Appeal's put out a whole string of albums over the next couple of years with a lot of the legends.
Slick Rick has a new one out.
Premiere Nye has got one coming out.
So just keep an eye out on these new records because there's a lot of OG rappers that's putting out good music projects.
I just want to shout them out, too.
But that's a fact.
Yeah, at some point, I'd like to discuss how the older rappers seem to be kicking all the younger rappers, rappers' ass.
And I think this might be the first time in hip-hop history where that's a fact.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
Take a listen to rapping.
I listened to a couple of
new albums from people who I like, like younger, maybe 20s, early 30s rappers on the way.
I had 10 hours of road time this weekend.
And then I put on Ray Kwan, which is a good album.
It's not like some spectacular.
It's solid.
But it was immediately apparent of like good rapping versus what today's version of good rapping is.
Bro, that clips album, good rapping.
Might have really.
No, better than good.
It's better than that.
Yeah, it's better than good, bro.
It might have really been a pivot that hip-hop needs, I think.
That shit was a real cultural moment.
I ain't going to hold you.
Yes.
You disagree?
I think it was a cultural moment.
I don't think it's going to pivot anything.
Yeah.
I wish it would, but I don't have faith in that happening.
Yeah, I don't, not at all.
We'll see.
I think the pivot started even before that.
I think they might be the climax of it, but you are going to have to figure out a way to make your food last.
Yeah.
And it's always good to be able to lean on cultural equity and not just that.
I don't want to say any names and insult people, but just that.
I don't even think we have to speak in culture.
I think that like just being good at what you do should
we live in a meritocracy, unfortunately.
And if you want to have a long career in music or in media or in performing or anything, like hone on your craft and get really fucking good at it.
Man, look, as much as I love.
Don't rely on tricks.
Go ahead.
As much as I love this clips album, you know, push is my guy.
There's nothing against them.
This album was a masterclass in marketing.
How to properly roll out and market your album.
Because there's been people that's been rapping at good quality, putting out good music.
They just ain't been heard.
I agree with that.
This is independent.
Everybody.
So they went on the music.
So they went and did their thing and got the album in front of the people they needed to get the album in front of.
They did the work.
They did it.
That's what I've been preaching up here for.
No, they did.
But what I'm saying is there are albums that are as good or better than this album that did not do the work so people didn't hear them.
But it's a combination of the shit.
It was a combination.
Because if they did all of the work, if they went and sat in front of all of the platforms and they did all that shit and the product wasn't good, that shit's going to land on deaf ears.
I don't give a fuck how many couches you sit on, how many desks you go talk to in front of the people.
If the quality of the album was trash, that shit ain't gonna hit like it hit.
Well, that's what I wanted to add to your point, Freeze, because a lot of people have talked about the masterclass of a rollout
and how to market.
But it's also been a masterclass and how not to market, right?
Like they were really intentional with where they sat, why they sat there, who that audience was, and who was getting this message.
I know the people they skipped.
And you could clearly see why they are skipping these places versus the normal rollout of a publicist trying to get their act in front of many
all the eyes in the world.
Back in my day, they was talking about some when Sarita was bringing me to some websites I didn't want to talk to.
She would be like, oh, they get this amount of clicks and this amount of impressions and this amount.
We have to sit there like, why?
Why?
Who are these people?
Who is this audience?
Who am I even talking to?
So they were just extra intentional.
Yeah.
But they could do that as independent.
But even in the interviews, bro,
them niggas have a way of.
And I'm not going to keep calling them independent either.
They likable, B.
Even when you go sit down, like they are performing.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, no, they are performing.
They are likable.
The way they speak to people, all of that stuff, they just likable men.
And so I think that plays a part into people wanting to hear their music, too.
How are they independent?
They're independent with the distribution, which now looks
not independent.
How are they independent with the distribution?
You own all your shit.
You sign a distribution deal that still keeps you indie?
Yeah, you're still technically independent.
Okay, y'all doing that chance to rapper shit.
Y'all know Rock Nation now is acting as a one-stop shop after you purchase
every arm that they need to act that way.
To be clear, most of the big distributors are, though.
So I understand what you're saying.
Are what?
Most of the, like, the empires and shit.
They've been moving like major labels for a long decade.
So you view.
And I don't want to do do red,
y'all view what Empire is doing the same as what Rock Nation is doing.
It's similar.
It's very similar.
It's very similar.
Maybe different relationships, but very similar.
It's different in that Rock Nation has
vertical
or whatever integration.
They have management.
They have live venues.
It's different for sure.
And that don't sound like independent to me, but I get what you're saying.
Apples and oranges.
Amazing album.
Did they own this shit?
Did they pay for the creation of it?
Well, I don't know.
Eclipse is yourself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which I was under the impression they did.
Maybe I'm wrong.
But if they did those things, then I think that that's independent.
And I don't think they're able to walk away from Def Jam with that album.
Right.
Like you, you leave, okay, cool, but this is ours.
Right.
And you go and restart from scratch and build whatever over there.
All right, maybe I'm a hater.
I'm not calling Eclipse independent.
Because when we sat there and said, hey, how did, hey, how did you get away from Def Jam in that moment?
They looked at Steven Victor over here, who has all the clout and cachet and relationship strength that one would need.
And if he needed to just write a quick $6 million check, if he did that, then he could do that.
Isn't that independent?
While I agree with you, and I'm with you, I also don't like taking away from independence because they did a really fucking good job.
Yeah, that's what that's.
You know what I mean?
Like,
I think we should normalize independence looking and operating really fucking well and functional.
I don't bring people around me.
As opposed to finding a loophole like, oh, it's not quite independent because Jay-Z is there.
And it's like, oh, I mean, is it or is it not?
Like, just because they did a good job doesn't make it not independent.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
I don't have anything for that.
No, that's a good point.
Yeah, that was a good point.
And I don't want to sound like I'm shit on Cliff because I just love it.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I'm not shitting anyone.
I love what they're doing.
Independent, not independent.
It's great.
And I hope the trend continues of
that freedom.
What I was speaking to more so is that freedom to be able to yo we going here here here comes from being independent got it that's true too otherwise you get what was happening to you hey go sit over here i don't want to go sit there well go sit over here relationship with them uh uh yeah yeah yeah i can't say they're not independent because they have stephen victor and pharrell and jay-z and yeah that's they just have a specification set up for independent
time to be independent yeah you're right it sure is a good time isn't a good time to be independent
i'm just saying you know you're independent, you missed the super chat.
I don't know what you're talking about, man.
You are missing super chat.
Like a super chat.
Dollar, dollar, dollar, five.
All right, enough about
the time it is.
Anytime for your favorite prayer buddy show, yeah, let's talk about how much money Mark is making.

All right.
Back to Tyler.
I'm not sure if we was finished with him.
Yeah, I don't know if we were.
A lot of people are saying that they hate it.
I don't think this is a middle ground album.
Like I said at the start, either you're going to really like it or you're going to absolutely hate it.
And it really just depends on when you got introduced to Tyler's music.
Yeah.
Agree.
Like if you're a new Tyler fan and you like that sound that he's been on and then you hear this and like, what the fuck is this?
I absolutely hate it.
Right.
Yeah, I think my little sister, who I'm just learning is a huge Tyler fan is going to love this project.
I think this project does a good job of, like you said, Friesner, when did you meet this guy?
Like his fan base is kind of
all over the place it is this album made me go back to Vince Staples okay album there's one more album this album made me go back to fuck
I'm trying to find it but yeah he was in
listen he was in the back yeah I enjoyed it different I like different shit I like when artists try to be different even if it don't all the way hit with me again some of that first half of this project was like maybe too rich for my taste yeah
but the second half I like some of that shit.
I do.
Shout out to Tyler.
Shout out to the Tyler fan base.
Tyler's come a long way from the him and Khaled feud, which for me, with every passing day, becomes the
junior whopper version of 50 Him Kanye.
Yeah.
Khaled was Hayden.
Khaled was they.
Yeah.
Khaled was they.
He was there.
In that.
But to look at where Tyler comes from that is like, he's got to feel like the clips feel.
Like, y'all throwing my name in with some of these pop acts and some of these people with all the backing in the world.
It's like, that's a compliment within itself.
What's the projection of his album?
Tyler's going to do numbers.
I don't know.
I would guess
150 plus for sure.
Yeah.
Short week.
I don't care.
150 on the low end.
150 is impressive.
I was about to say two short.
150 on a low end, but it's a short week.
What did you say?
What is a short week?
No, I said this is a short week.
So I think the real tell will be if that is second week is going to stay steady.
They're going to have two amazing strong weeks.
Anybody know the projections for the Eclipse, second week?
No, I did.
Well, the second week should be out on Eclipse.
Yeah, it should.
Yeah, the second week should be out on Eclipse.
Absolutely.
I ain't that bad with time.
I know they had six records on the Billboard 200.
Chromocopia did 299.
That's what I'm saying.
150 is the low end of this.
Oh, it might do.
It might do something.
Yeah, my bad.
The album before that.
My bad, Tyler.
The album before that did crazy.
Yeah, my bad, Tyler.
Yeah, I think you probably cracked two something.
God damn.
Don't let him have bundles.
He's going to have bundles.
That vital look fire.
Yeah.
The clear vital.
And I like the imagery.
I like that B-boy shit.
With the chain.
The video is fire, too.
I'm still mad that I was working when Tyler did that show over there that I wanted to go to.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I just had a tough week.
Come on, man.
Yachti invited me to that fucking show months ago.
Oh, you gotta roll with a Sunday, man.
The one the other day, I'm not here Sunday.
Oh, shit.
No, it's
I'm taking my family to Turks.
Yeah, that's our damn.
Yeah, I'm not here.
Yeah, rich shit, man.
I'll get on FaceTime with you.
I wouldn't know.
Only Turks I've seen.
Everybody here is taking a trip with their family but me.
No, Turks is the part.
That's the rich part.
Yeah, Turks.
I wouldn't know nothing about that.
I didn't even know what it was.
You took a trip with you.
I to Google the fuck up-ish.
We're going to jail.
Don't let this Times article change how y'all.
You have taken mad trips to Portugal.
South of France.
He was on the yacht.
Can
Mildred, how you said it?
Amafi Cole.
I don't got to say this shit.
Yeah, don't come in.
We saw this shit with the water underneath.
We saw all that.
You showed us.
Flip, you definitely been to Jones Beach with your family.
Oh, shit.
You've been to fucking, what's that beach in
Long Island?
Niggas at Rock Layland.
You've been to Coney Island.
You've been to all the islands with your family.
My family, right?
You knocked that nigga Flip.
I used been to Atlantic City.
I used to be in Pennsylvania.
You niggas have been on trips with y'all families.
This is my first time.
Nigga, I ain't take my family.
Yo, watch the fucking mouth.
Look, that's what he took from that.
I ain't take my family.
I ain't take my family.
Call Lee Island.
Yo, since my two little brothers have been out there, my dad and his wife have been in Atlantic City.
Every little chance they get like birds.
They did right now.
I believe you.
You call me out.
Where are your brothers at?
They at school.
Already?
Doing that.
Well, they're doing summer.
Semmer.
Whatever.
Three weeks where you learn the school.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But yeah, they're out of there.
So my dad is in Atlantic City.
He is a fucking thought, yo.
His wife keeps grabbing the phone talking about Jawaharlal.
He's on the boardwalk looking at ass.
Hey, at his age, that's what you're supposed to do.
Sorry, Jackie.
Facts.
Love you.
His age.
My mom's so cute.
She called me the other day.
Tony.
So I showed your dad and Jackie how to hear the podcast over the phone.
I was like, well, how was they listening to it?
She's like, I don't know.
I didn't ask.
Shout out to your mom, yeah.
Yo.
Oh, my parents are sick.
Anyway,
Tyler, congrats.
Word.
Congrats.
You and your bag.
Gay niggas, congrats.
Do we think anything?
So it's talking stupid.
Possibly a reach, but do we think?
You're about to do it.
Go ahead, do it.
Yeah, I'm going to do it.
I'm going to ask.
I'm going to ask anyway.
Do we think he's
trying to stir the pot a little bit with this new video he dropped?
Okay,
since you asked,
I'll share something that only.
Girl, I wasn't gonna say nothing.
I'll share something that only I believe.
Okay, man.
I haven't asked anybody about this.
I don't care what anybody else thinks about it.
I think that every feature on Eclipse album is together in one thought.
Oh, I wouldn't be surprised.
I wouldn't be surprised.
And nobody said that,
but
they all are aligned
in one way.
In principle.
Some of them may not say it, but every one of them.
Nah, that's all the niggas.
That's my whole thing.
I don't shit rattle on what I know for real.
But yeah, that's what I think.
So that's it.
Okay.
So if you're saying that,
it falls in line.
Got it.
It falls in line.
I'm not going to do that because.
For those who don't know what I'm I'm speaking to, Tyler also put the video out for Stop Playing With Me.
And the video reminds me of Kendrick's Squabble Up video, just from the layout.
It looks like it.
It looks like it.
You know, just he had two speakers there, some stuff going on.
And he's standing there rapping in the middle of the screen.
And then
at one moment, LeBron and Mav pop up next to him.
Mav Ricarter, yeah.
Mav Ricarter.
Not Mav Hoffa.
Yeah.
Sound like you said Mav.
You know, your voice.
Oh, Mav, Math.
You know, your voice is ugly.
Oh, well.
What you want me to do?
And then in the next scene, the clips pop up next to him
while he's rapping.
And some more Louis.
The Clips don't run out of no Louis shit, do they?
They're not running out.
No, not at all.
They ain't flowing down like that.
It's got custom shit everywhere.
A video is cool.
How did when you liked it?
It did its own emoji shit on it.
I've never seen that before.
Oh, no, that's been happening.
Yeah, they do that
like Father's Day and all holidays.
If you like certain teen tweets and shit, it'll
pop up.
They do that when you like it.
Yeah, they like a broken shit.
I got that on Samsung.
I wouldn't know.
Technology.
Yeah, I was just wondering what y'all thought about it.
Old rappers kicking these young rappers' ass.
Nigga, the fuck you talking about?
That's Tyler.
That's the Clips.
The old rappers, this is the only time in history where
he went crazy on that clip shit.
In such a predatory business,
niggas gonna be giving him the real
he went nuts on that clip cool oh yeah
he did go nuts but that the clips on pov to me both of those verses are in verse of the year talks both of them kisha and malice and i got malice versus on fico up there that's my one malice versus fico that's my joke that's the best version
and i got malice versus on so far yeah all right we ain't we i ain't going to keep standing on the laser.
We're going to be a little bit more than that.
And Meek on the Friday joint, but outside of Meek,
it's been Malice.
That push verse is tough to me.
I ain't going to hold you, though.
Not enough is being said about it because of how niggas feel about Jim, but
all I see is 63 stars, 20 years, thousand airs.
And then to rhyme the whole verse with thousands.
Push is a different, yo.
I ain't going to hold you.
Yeah.
I'm saying that as an MC.
Listen to that.
Oh my god.
That's not the easiest rhyme.
Nobody would, no MC would pick
a thousandaire to do this whole verse.
It's just a headache.
It's just a headache.
I'm leaving that.
He stayed there and killed Jim.
Yo,
YouTube's network niggas again.
Get these 5,500 oceans niggas out of here.
Yo, and anytime the clips drop the beat out, somebody die.
Both of them.
Push and malice.
when the beat drop out a shot is heard around the earth
Get these 50 that's how I feel about these niggas is showing up anywhere just doing any
You talking about us get these 5500 a hosting niggas out of here
Yeah, cuz they be popping up like they big shit.
You are there for some Twizzlers
That's a lot of Twizzlers.
Nigga, who the fuck you talking about?
Show out his fucking mind.
That's a lot of Twizzlers.
$5,500 for Twizzlers.
I can get a lot of Twizzlers.
Yeah.
All right.
It's a trap.
No, it ain't no trap.
It's just levels.
It's a trap to me.
You not on that level.
You over there.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're not.
I don't even take it that way.
I'm going to do a $5,500 hosting.
I'm going to tell you that right now.
I'm going to do a bunch of them.
It depends on what it's at.
But you also going to walk like.
If it's local.
Like you took the $5,500 hosting is what I'm saying.
I'm not shitting on that.
Nigga, my hosting was for less than that.
No, no, don't don't let me get to talking.
I'm saying
when I know I did not, those that forget a doom to beat.
You don't talk like those that forget a doom to repeat.
I ain't forget a goddamn soccer toe over there, bro.
I'm just saying, I didn't forget to do that.
So shot this in the 5,500 niggas.
Shitting on this, right?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Mark, nigga, you don't know what's up.
Hey, Mark, who the fuck is that?
Nigga, I was in Newark this morning for free.
I'm out here just, you know what I mean?
That's because you leave,
but that's the love.
But what about the other one?
That's the freedom, bro.
We know what about the other one, though.
We know how much you get.
We know how much you're sausage.
We know how much you get for the sausage.
Kings, turkey, sausage, eggs.
I know what you did.
Yeah, but it did sound gay.
We know how much you do.
And with that shirt on, it's all confusing.
We know.
We know how much you make for the speaking engagements.
Yeah, we know.
I know, but you're buying F6s and shit.
No, no, no, no, no, that's not about me.
No, it's about me.
We know how much you make for the and speaking engagements is coming back.
Why people are so ashamed to be doing good?
I'm proud to be doing good.
Because we come from a place where when you're doing too good, you walk in the house and somebody tied up.
Pretty much.
We just not doing good like you.
We can't shoot on the 55 because we try to do the 55s.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't think
I don't think it's not in your future.
I don't think what I'm doing is
far-fetched for anybody any of the deal.
Actually, I should be the reason that people have more hope that they could do that, I think.
That's how I feel.
We're inspired.
I agree.
I know y'all don't care, but in the 90s, when I got to the thing,
this was unimaginable.
You know what you got to put in your thing?
Don't understand.
When I come from, you couldn't convince somebody else that there was a way that you could get to that.
So it's cute while we're looking back in hindsight, but in the process, like,
yo, you know, Paul Piss told Shorty,
Man, you good with them words.
You got to put that in your thing.
You know,
you can go with the words.
He is is good with that.
That boy will pivot, get up off his
play, boy.
I pay all the taxes, nigga.
If y'all want to sit there and talk about me for an hour, I'm cool.
There's nothing they can do.
They took it already.
Wow.
I mean,
stop playing with the people, man.
They can do a lot of shit for you.
Yeah, they came.
They took y'all shit too, right?
We don't make enough of them to take our shit.
Yeah.
Probably paying out.
Yeah, I get a bit.
I get a refund.
I get a refund.
Yeah, man.
I'll be loving May, man.
I I get a little bit back.
Yo, I'm...
All right, go ahead.
Go ahead and play.
I'm going to let y'all play.
Where we at?
All right, Tyler.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Tyler.
Congratulations.
What else?
What else?
What else?
Do you think he, real quick on Tyler, do you think he incorporates any of this into a show now?
Oh, yeah.
Jared Carmichael.
Are you crazy?
I think he probably, that's why he made the announcement at the show.
They probably already got the stage show and all that shit worked out to incorporate.
Don't touch the glass, Jared.
Gerard.
You can't get none of this.
That was, he played him so bad that day on that shit, man.
Yo, to do that on somebody's HBO reality show.
Right, somebody else's show.
Still, one of my greatest title moments is him on Flex.
That's the best one.
Oh, that's the best thing ever.
That's the best one.
Him on Flex with the gay bars.
Flex looks so befuddled.
That shit was amazing.
Whoa.
Whoa.
But sex.
Flex did all that looking confused and then laid on the table for the acupuncture nigga and posted the pictures laying on his stomach with some niggas standing by him.
Joe, it's different.
Wait, what's wrong with that?
Nothing.
Per se.
Nothing.
I do actually.
On Thursday, shit, I'm getting one tomorrow.
Or Thursday.
You're not getting Light Po?
No, he got light shirts.
Joe said it wrong.
I got light shirts.
Oh, no, I'm not getting light niggas.
It's okay if you have.
I will.
I will.
I just don't need it right now.
Are you done with the fillers?
You finished some shits?
Yeah, not yet.
I got a a little more.
Yeah, you got a little lines in your forehead.
They got to touch you up.
That nigga's forehead is not budging.
They got to touch you.
It's sturdy.
That nigga shit is standing still.
Hey, yo, and some of y'all bitches out there that I love, y'all faces don't move no more.
At all.
And I think that y'all just think that niggas is stupid, so we don't see.
We see, we just don't say nothing.
So now our beef, we got somehow past the lip injections.
You know, face ain't no doubt.
I didn't get past the lip injections.
No,
what I'm saying is there's there's more beefs.
I never thought there could be.
Y'all face don't budge no more, and we saying funny stuff.
Y'all laughing like,
yeah, your lip don't move.
Whatever y'all, that doctor, that Botox, and them fillers, and them bundle packages, slow it the fuck down, bitch.
You 23.
Too much.
That's it.
That part.
You're not even old enough for this shit.
You didn't even grow to your features yet, girl.
Yeah, seriously.
Oh, my God.
Anyway.
There you go.
Anything else in music?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
No.
Well, I want.
Wait, look, I'm getting mad text.

Let me hold something, please.

He said you dead on that.

He paid.
Oh, you paid it?
I paid it.

He's dead on that, though.
Yeah, he gets paid.
When you go to your family reunion, you like the star?
He don't go.
This is a star.
He doesn't go everywhere.
He don't go.
No, I mean, he may be unless Breezy pull up.
Oh, shit.
I can't wait, niggas.
Breezy, like, yo, nigga, you cousin, that's what I'm saying.
You wasn't supposed to start eating sugar again before your family view.
You should have supposed to pop up on niggas with your new non-sugar body.
That assumption.
You dropped bad weights, Malta.
We thought you was on this.
I thought you, I still think you're a bad thing.
I'm about to go back.
I was really on the pipe.
I was on the pipe.
Oh, shit.
Let me see this.
Hunter Biden said that's good.
That's true.
Yo, this nigga said the pipe.
Hunter Biden said it's good.
That Hunter Biden interview is fire, by the way.
I got him.
I see that.
I'm so mad.
He did not compliment the pipe.
Oh, he talked about how fire it was.
He's an addict.
He said, and when you cook it, you love it.
When you barn it off all the impurities.
So he was breaking it down.
I don't like that.
That's the only part that gets highlighted.
I don't.
That's all I need to say.
You all care about the recipe.
It's a really good interview.
No, this ain't no rumor.
It's an interview.
It's a clip.
It's an interview.
That's like a three-hour interview.
It's face.
He can't believe that.
Yo,
I can't believe that.
What?
That you're the son of a former president talking about how to listen.
I sat there and thought I wish that he would have been running for fucking some office because he was keeping it mad real in that interview.
Mike win.
I haven't seen the apartment put me on.
I'm going to watch it tonight.
You might need some more people in recovery in office.
They relate to the masses.
That too.
Now I'm done.
You're going to watch that shit.
You'll be like, oh, shit, I got to fuck with dude.
Hey, yo, the funny shit right now is to see the people that voted for Trump, how they crying.
Yo, they be talking so soft.
They be talking so soft.
Yo, they so humble.
The ones that sold their souls and voted for him.
Their families is getting grabbed up and they moms and shit.
One dude.
One dude just cut.
Canada wouldn't let him come back.
I mean, he couldn't come back in the country.
He went to Canada.
Oh, shit.
He was in the United States since he was three.
And he was, you know, he go back and forth to Canada.
So he had a weed charge.
and another charge that got dismissed.
They wouldn't let him back in America.
On a weed charge?
They was like, yo, and it got dismissed.
Yo, they was like,
sorry.
He was like, you know what made me mad about these Trump niggas?
You know.
He was talking like this.
You know,
I used to be with them, but yeah, it's a little too much now.
What made me mad about the Trump niggas, and I'm with y'all, they look dumb now trying to backpedal and backtrack.
Yeah.
But listening to them do that, what makes me angry is
in the the event that they were right, Trump comes in and gets the country together,
right?
I don't know what percentage, why, I don't know percentage-wise, how likely they thought that was, but they clearly thought it was like bought into the idea, they clearly thought it was like cool.
That to the side,
if they are wrong,
then
this grapes,
evil
bigot of a man man
had practice already now.
See, the first term,
dog, I'm just in here learning my way around.
I'm just right.
Hey, and by the end by the end of that term, them niggas should have knew that
he gained some traction because he was talking about voter suppression and had niggas rushing the polls.
So that tells you that he gained some power like Thanos in the first time and was just looking around at shit.
So now you give this idiot experience.
So that means from day
pre-day one, I'm on bullshit.
The first time he sounded like Matt, exactly before he got in.
Before he got in, he put that pen to work.
So it's like, dog, y'all asked for this.
Y'all asked for like the worst possible version of a monster.
You know what he did?
An experienced monster who knows his way around your crib now.
With a team of monsters.
Because he is.
Yeah.
Because he is charismatic and all that shit.
What he did was he convinced them that
his
successor after the last term fucked it up and made it worse.
That's where they bought in at.
And he played in identity politics.
What he's doing right now with this Washington commander shit, right?
He's doing the same thing again.
He's Washington.
My football team.
Yeah, that is your team, isn't it?
No, that nigga note.
No, he's not a Killer.
No, you're a Steelers fan.
You're a Sodom.
I told y'all.
He's all over the map.
I give confused.
Aaron Rodgers came to Pittsburgh.
I'm going to Washington, but go ahead.
You should just come to Philly.
You're already a Sixers fan.
Go.
But no, I mean, Donald Trump made a statement in one of his speeches, right?
You know, saying that he's basically ordering Josh Harris, who's the owner of the Sixers,
now the owner of the Redskins or the commander,
to change the name of the team.
He's like, get it done.
Change the name back to the Redskins, which is particularly interesting because there's always a tweet for everything.
If you look at Donald Trump, maybe five years ago, he had a tweet.
when they were about to change the name from the Redskins saying presidents should mind their own business and not get involved in the renaming of the Washington football team.
That's before y'all.
Yeah, that's before he gained his power.
Yeah, that's y'all president.
That's before he got his experience.
Have we not looked at the None of the rules apply to me, right?
Bro, and half the shit he say, if you look hard enough on Twitter or some social media platform,
he has contradicted himself in the past.
Yeah, that was everything.
It was tweeted.
Yeah, but now, right, it's just tough to believe that the Colbert
shit,
because that report came out, they said that the late night show with Colbert was losing
$40 and $50 and $60 million.
And that was the reason.
And it's not because Paramount and Sunscape or whatever the shit needs approval.
But now here we are with him openly, Trump, threatening to not give approval to Washington for the stadium, for the new stadium.
And we know that that's important.
We know that's important to them.
So it's like he's just in there thugging whoever need to get thugs into what he wants to do.
And I'm going to keep it real with you.
It's like the schoolhouse bully.
He done knocked enough people out that they scared of him.
The Republicans don't rock with him like that.
They scared of him, though, yo.
Yeah.
He's beat up enough people where they are really scared of him.
Everybody folding.
You got it.
Everybody folding.
I don't think they're going to fold on Washington thing because that horse is out the bar and you can't go back and rename a kid a team of the Redskins.
He probably could have stopped it from happening.
You can't.
You could.
I think that one's a little too high of a mount.
And I don't think he expects it.
I think he just likes to always register that he was on the right side of the issue for those people who vote on that shit.
Because I think Trump's long-term vision is either to never leave the presidency.
I think that.
Or more likely, or but if he does leave and he will leave because it's going to make him
to be in control of whoever's next by still controlling that base.
That's the thing.
And so whoever that next person is, Trump is still the leader.
It's like when Putin left office for a little bit in Russia, but was still in charge, it's going to be like that.
He's going to be the voice behind the curtain.
And that's how you do it, by playing in people's identity politics.
People, fuck the fact that I'm broke and poor.
We're getting the Redskins back, you know, or he's putting the Mexicans in their place or whoever it is.
And the same thing happens.
It's just diversion, yeah, Hunter talks about that.
He's talking about the cycle of reconstruction happening kind of all over again, but in a different way now.
He sounds some deep shit in that energy stuff.
I hope people don't get distracted by the crack part.
No, they are.
They already are.
That's the first thing I brought up, but it's good shit in there.
Bro, I'm used to sitting there.
Yo, you gotta get the good light up with the bigs.
The high flame.
But when you talk,
when you talk to former crack addicts, even the ones that are really off and clean up.
When you start talking about crack, their eyes light up, man.
Bruh.

Do you think that's unlikely?

Man, do you know how many?
We're gonna cut this out.

I'm trying to say, you try to identify the money that niggas is spending to look good.
Like Ish and his Botox, out, like Mark and Hitcher.
Oh, no, none of y'all are investing.
I got bodies.
That's a joke.
None of y'all are taking the money and pouring it back into yourself.
Not walking up in the middle of the middle.
Not one of y'all are doing that.
No, this one's been on the treadmill.
Not one of y'all are doing that.
I think he is fucking Joe LaLane.
Yo, get your fucking ass out of here.
Joe LaLane.
Jack LaLane.
Y'all know what Jack LaLane.
Got you.
This nigga here, boy.
How is the workout going, though?
So far, so good.
Great.
Are you like stepping it up?
In terms of the money?
I'm doing whatever whatever the trainer says to do.
That's as simple as it is for me.
Okay.
Whatever he is doing, I'm doing.
I'm not asking questions.
I'm just.
So whatever weight he put on, all that shit, you don't ask nothing.
You just do it.
Yeah.
That's smart.
That's fine.
And if it's too heavy, he lying.
He lying?
Uh-oh.
Yeah, he'll question the weight, though.
He nigga lies.
Well, because the trainer's a liar.
The trainer's a liar.
You're supposed to be a little bit more.
He'll tell you something light under there.
I didn't know.
He's not even saying enough to look.
He tells you something light under there, but it's more.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're going to do three tats
20, and you get the last one.
I need 30 or 40 in this one.
Yep.
It's like, wait, watch.
My arms is dead.
My legs is done.
He wanted them.
But he's great.
He's great.
I recommend anybody that's on the fence about it, i.e., my girl,
get that trainer and get in there.
Get that trainer and get in there.
My babies will not.
This guy is an idiot.
What?
No.
That's fucked up.
It's sale bad.
It's sound bad.
No, my baby losing weight.
Why is she killing that shit?
Oh, speaking of which, not that part.
Hey, y'all, y'all anniversary?
No, no, no, no, no.
Hey, buddy, watch the tone.
Speaking of your lady, y'all had an anniversary.
I was going to ask how it went.
Six years, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I told y'all that.
I told y'all that.
Last time we saw you, you was headed out night on the town.
We ain't seen you since.
It went.
Is there really the gold tomahawk in the
briefcase?
Tomahawk?
It wasn't gold.
By the time I posted that, that was when we went to dinner, but that's that's from that restaurant I told you does a good job out there in North Brunswick.
South Jersey.
South Jersey.
Yeah, we went out there, had a great anniversary dinner at LaBeebe's.
They treated us like family.
They didn't charge me at all.
Oh, well.
They've never charged me once I stepped foot in there.
This is the fucking problem with rich people.
Once I step in there, rich people get free shit.
Right.
And Tony, shout out to Tony, the manager owner over there.
He's like, yo, if you come over here with 20 and 30 people, then I'll charge you.
But for now, you just come with your lady.
Well, it's only like what, one, two, three, four.
Three.
But 10 years.
Nah, he said that's the part with rich people, you don't put their own paper shit.
I'm like, shut up.
I don't pay for shit anymore.
You one of them too?
I just don't pay for no octel.
Oh, shit.
You go, oh, you got the Jamaican reciprocal connect, boy?
Anyway, we had a really good anniversary.
Y'all know we're taking our family trip to Turks.
Turks and Caicos.
Both of them.
Right.
You leave Friday.
I leave soon.
I won't be here for the next broadcast.
I'm aware of that, but what day are you leaving?
And Mel won't be here either.
So
she was who I was really relying on to keep y'all
in the room, keep it funny and entertaining.
But Mel's not going to be here, so one of y'all have to try to be funny.
E, can you come early on Friday, yo?
My bad.
You did forget his name in the article, so I wouldn't.
Oh, yeah.
That was disrespectful.
Ramondo.
Ramondo.
Yeah.
Just rat.
Just in case he ain't read it.
Just rat.
Oh, no, he read it.
No, he saw it.
He ready to fuck out that article.
Our other group channel.
Which time y'all woke up this boy?
Y'all wake up early.
I ain't know so many people were subscribed to the Times.
You know, you had to be subscribed at first if you woke up early enough.
I just played the crosswords.
That's all.
I get the article for free.
You took the cheap route.
You took the other round.
I think 12.
I think 12.
I played the crosswords every day, but I get the article for free.
It's cool.
You ready too, bitch?
Not yet.
Oh, they got us, y'all.
So
they didn't get us.
You getting us.
That's what they say.
You got us.
Hold on, y'all.
Y'all go too far.
This is how the coup be started.
Now, what type of time are we on, nigga?
Let me see.
Let me see what type of side I'm standing on.
I can't allow that.
Y'all might do that to me.
You hear what he just said?
Yo, God.
Do you hear what he just said?
But like, hire, what if it real quick?
Yo, that getting
Yo, real quick, that's what I'm saying.

He prepped it last week.
Exactly.
He tried to.
I pay taxes.
What do you want?
Nigga, I don't give a fuck about that tax shit.
What that means?
Hold on.
What?
You're just saying words of distracting.
The word salad.
What are you talking about?
I mean, I'm not hiding from nobody.
It is what it is.
Like the killer niggas at the strip club see me here.
The tax people came, got what they get to get.
Everybody here taken care of, laced.
So I mean, shit.
This nigga's fucking hiding for it.

Everybody in Lock Bennett.
Locked in.
You talk about lace.
Everybody here.
Hey, niggas ain't seen nothing when it went from six months to the year, two years.
Yo, I need you till 2028.

Niggas about the leadership.
Oh, they playing.

Yo, you button, you butt down me.
Yo, you butt down me.
Oh, yeah, you butt down me.
Anyways, man,
speaking of money, Queen's Fixed.
Park Lamont Hill.
Our good brother Park Park Lamont Hill.
Park Lamont Hill.
Park Demon.
Set him down.
Hey, the market.
All that shit name was the market.
Yeah, then Mark and Marcus.
Anyway.
Oh, sorry.
That's for the Park and the Ian show.
That's for the Park and the Indian.
Well,
listen, we,
yeah.
Yeah.
Yo, don't let this be different than our normal broadcast show.
What's our next topic, you guys?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's miss.
Yeah, this shouldn't be no different than what we normally do, y'all.
Come on.
The WNBA players are demanding more money from their cheap bosses.
Yo, you gave them, hey, yo, you gave them
the WNBA niggas one of our t-shirts.
Exactly.
Right.
No bullshit.
This is trash.
Look, how it just lines up.
Yo, I really do.
Sheesh.
The WNBA All-Star Game.
Oh, yeah, let's start there.
The actual game.
Did y'all watch the game?
No.
No.
No.
It was a good, it was a barn burner for like two minutes.
Yo, yo, you say a barn burner?
Yeah.
A barn burner.
Yeah, y'all don't say that?
I said it.
No.
Yo, I can't.
It was a good game.
Caitlin's team team played, though.
The Caitlin squad would play.
It was a good game.
It wasn't particularly close, but there was a lot of action because of the four-pointer.
And
I thought it was a fun game.
I thought it was a fun game.
No, listen, I have been watching the WNBA.
Yeah.
Like, I played Prize Picks.
And so, because of Prospects, I've been learning about the players, I'm watching the shit.
The shit is women's basketball is coming a long, long way.
There's some great basketball being played.
It's coming outside of Caitlin.
You do that, Moore.
I'm going to get you right.
What?
What?
Yo, yo, man.
You watch more basketball?
Pay attention.
We got you, Bob.
You make me prosper like that.
The prospects in there.
Yeah, you do that.
You want to win?
We're going to get you right.
Anyway.
No, but the game was great, but the thing that got the most attention wasn't the game itself.
It was the t-shirts that some of the players were.
Those were the comments made about the t-shirts.
Well, right.
It starts with
all of it together, right?
The team, they were wearing shirts that spoke to their desire to make more money, right?
And to get the owners to pay them more money as they enter this deal.
And then the world responded.
Some people stood in solidarity.
Other people were like, what the fuck are y'all talking about?
And that became...
a big debate.
And there was also a little backdoor debate, if you saw the press conference with Kelsey
and others, about
who participated in those talks because there were talks about making more money and organizing strategies around making more money.
Most of the people were on board.
Some people on Caitlin's team were, and that became a whole other side conversation.
But I don't want to make it about Caitlin.
I'm just going to say the WNBA women are asking for more money.
They're demanding more money.
What does the top athlete in the WNBA make a year?
Like, roughly.
WNBA side has gotten so out of hand that we're now seeing the league compared to Florida One, a global sports league that generates over a billion dollars a year in TV contracts around the world and has individual sponsors like LBMH that pay a hundred million dollars or more.
Now this is obviously a ridiculous comparison for all the reasons I just mentioned and plenty others, but I think it might be helpful to understand what's so challenging about the WNBA negotiation.
So for starters you'll commonly hear that WNBA players don't want to get paid the same as NBA players.
They just want to split the same share of
the current.
For context NBA players get around 50% of the annual revenue of the league.
They split it with owners, 50-50, while WNBA players only see about 10% of the revenue that the league creates.
That sounds like a mismatch and they should probably increase that.
Now here's the problem with that.
The WNBA has never made a profit.
That by itself is not a huge problem.
Sports teams lose money on an annual basis all the time and the league will eventually be profitable when its next media.
The problem is with their cap table.
Now since the WNBA has affected money every year for the last 25 to 30 years, the NBA has funded and covered those losses.
It has cost the NBA around $10 million annually.
This wasn't a bad deal for the NBA.
The NBA was able able to package up the WMBA's media rights with their own and sell it as a year-round package to TV broadcasts since the WMBA takes place during the NBA offseason.
It also sort of gave them a call option on women's sports.
If it's successful, it's worth billions of dollars.
If not, they write off the $10 million as a tax loss.
No big deal.
Now the problem is that at that $10 million a year, that financing was not cheap.
Additionally, the WMBA raised $75 million from an outside investor group in 2022 that included Nike and other sports owners.
As a result of the NBA's cash and that additional investment, the WNBA now only controls about 42% of its revenue stream.
The NBA controls 42% as well, and that outside investor group controls the rest.
What this means is that out of that $2 billion media rights deals that the WNBA just signed, the league and its players will see less than half of it.
That's why getting the 50% revenue share is going to be so challenging.
Now, don't get me wrong, WNBA players will see increased salaries.
The league is making a lot more money, attendance has doubled, viewership is up, they just signed this media rights deal, and they're adding teams.
But some players have been talking about a million-dollar more a year salaries, and that's not going to happen anytime soon, simply because of the cap table that the WNBA has had to put in place because of the losses over the last 25 years.
It was a little lengthy, but I thought it was important.
That is very important.
Yeah, when you have this
very important because it takes some of the emotional stuff out.
These are the top five earners in the WNBA: Jackie Young, 252K, Kelsey Mitchell, 249K, Joelle Lloyd, 249K.
Khalia Cooper, Copper, 248K.
And I don't want to mispronounce his name, Erique, Ogan Bawale.
I may be fucking them up.
My podcast, she's 21K.
She's tough.
And those are the top five salaries.
And the average salary is 106.
Oh, that's significantly higher than it was.
Yeah, the average is 106.
The minimum is 66, I believe, right now.
I'm on on the girl's side in this, and I do think that they will see an increase.
You can't be.
Why?
When you take the emotions out of it, if you're a business owner and you're running a business and you were in a negative for so, so, so long, it's kind of only right that you recoup
what your investment was and then start to share that.
I think that once the owners or whomever backed it recoups their money, then I think the splits should be more along what the NBA splits are.
See, I disagree with that.
I disagree with that.
Could be.
Anybody starting a business should expect to spend money and lose for five to 10 years.
True.
If in that 10th year, and I'm just freestyling here, if in that 10th year
the person that you in business with get it cracking and that's when the momentum come and the traction come and and the brand deals and the licensing and yada yada yada then I'm not I don't walk in the owner's office saying, hey, y'all lost all this money.
I'm going in the office saying, if you want to continue the upswing that's happening here, you got to pay me now.
I don't care what you lost.
No, but they're that's on you.
But they have had a significant upswing.
Like, I don't think if you go back to look at the days.
The UPS workers making more than Caitlin Clark.
Yeah.
She's making 80 of them.
So we can't sit here and say significant.
I'm talking about from where they were.
What I'm saying is there is an ascension for what their salaries are.
I think if you look back five years ago, six years ago, there were no $250,000 a year WNBA players.
I'm telling you,
if I'm any one of those girls, I don't want to hear that when I walk in the office.
You can save your breath telling me about what happened before now.
Right this second, we're getting shit cracking and we got Juju on the way.
There's no sign of us falling off.
There's franchises
that were purchased for $10 million that are worth nine figures today.
I mean, one good example is hey there's there's a liberty there's new teams hey feel about all that there are new teams you can't tell me too much when i walk in that corner office as a girly today i'm not talking about lisa leslian though i'm talking about today i'm talking about even listen and it sounds like i'm on the i'm just on the side of business and what i'm saying is you can't expect for us to not get our money back yes we can how do you want your business
wait wait wait answer this at least how do you want your business to continue without us without our participation i think that there's a increase.
And you would never, as an owner, you answer.
You would never stop this right now.
I'm never.
I'm saying that there are gradual increases that are going to take place for us and for you.
Would you make that argument for podcasters?
No, he would not.
Yes.
No, you should only get gradual increases.
That's not true.
And you are wrong.
Let me tell you.
Don't lie.
I don't know.
Listen to this.
Ask Ian and him when I talk to them.
You know this.
I've never came up here and said, yo, y'all making this, so I should make this as a result of what Joe's making.
I don't even negotiate like that.
That was was my strategy.
I've never done that.
Oh, I wouldn't.
I doesn't.
No, I'm just saying personally.
I've never caught you differently.
Because in that argument, we can say, yo, dog, the pot is ascending, and
so we are worthy of this.
I don't make that argument without.
I'm kind of surprised.
I'm kind of surprised.
I never do that.
Your statement to say that.
When me and you talked, I don't know about you and Ian talking, and this was years ago, so I'm not putting this on you.
And I tried to run that, hey,
the annual increase is what the legal annual increase is 3% or 4% or whatever the number, what?
5%?
You looked at me like you were supposed to look at me.
I did it.
That's what I'm speaking to.
Not saying that you haven't done it.
Not saying it is.
I'm not saying that you haven't done it.
I'm saying this.
If you were in...
All right, let's...
I know what.
You know what I mean?
What are you talking about?
I got a little bit of intel.
So if you were literally turning a loss, if you were taking a loss.
Do you think I would come in here and say, y'all need an increase?
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
Seriously, all jokes.
If you were taking a loss, you.
You think I would come in here and ask you for more money?
Would.
I don't know.
Should?
I say yes.
No, that's ridiculous.
And I disagree.
Because
if you're losing money
and then you have an opportunity to pick up
and you're losing money and you start to pick up, you expect us to come in here and say, yo, the shit that you're starting the game
and Joe's lying.
And I don't know.
Because half of your negotiation when me and you got together was, yo, you know, we just took on some more expenses.
And you know what I'm saying?
Like, that was your spiel.
Well, no, my position changes depending on which side of the table I'm on.
Yo, stop playing.
Both of y'all do.
That's when I fast for y'all this conversation.
No, that's wrong with you.
I'm still talking about the terrorists.
Sadly, he's not joking.
He's terrible.
One day he's the label.
Yeah.
Right.
That's a fair.
Look, one day he is the label.
One day he'll be the artist.
And that's the duality of life.
That's the duality of life.
When I speak to ish,
or some people.
It's crazy.
Yes.
There are expenses that need to be taken into account.
When I'm ish,
fuck them shit.
I don't give a fuck about that shit that you talk about, dog.
Do you dance, nigga?
I got to do.
I got to take it.
But then again, wait, wait, wait, wait, because it does sound nuts.
So let me slow down.
Let me slow down.
Let me slow down.
I take it back.
I take it back.
Wait, hold on.
Stop saying nothing.
Don't say nothing.
Don't say nothing.
Don't say nothing right now.
Just let me get this point out.
Because I don't want this to be misconstrued.
Got it.
To talk like Barry Bonds, you have to produce like Barry Bonds.
Okay.
So when I'm on the other side saying I don't care about what you're saying, it's because I've produced like Barry Bonds.
So,
yeah, I don't care about the normal, how this should go.
Go take a walk and find a way to make Barry Bonds happy.
And that was your stance in the Drake argument.
That they need to go outside and come back in.
You goddamn right.
You goddamn right.
Now,
I wouldn't suggest that you try that if you are not
1,000% positive that you are producing at that clip.
Well, it's two things with that.
One,
you might,
you will never know if you're producing at that clip.
Oh, yes, you would.
Oh, yes, you would.
You'll never get the confirmation from them.
That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, you'll never get the confirmation.
You'll know.
The company, you'll know.
But the company is going to be a kid.
You can always take the other side of it.
You'll know.
That's when you withhold your labor.
Yes.
They can take the other side.
If you marry Bonds, that's not a good idea.
That's not a good idea for them to do.
And somebody on that side should know that.
So, like, right this second with these girls, these girls,
these women and girls, these girls, ladies, these ladies
have the opportunity or this small window to say to billionaire owners,
we don't care.
They'll never have the opportunity again to say, Hey, we don't care about
it.
Can I jump in?
Even if they don't get their way, they won't be able to even say this again.
Go ahead.
This is the only thing I would say.
And I see all sides.
I see all the arguments.
As a business owner, I see it.
As a worker, I see it.
I think, one, I think the NBA has a history and a trajectory that we can follow.
The NBA didn't make money for decades.
The NBA didn't really, I mean, through the 60s, through the 70s, it was going back until a magic and burger came.
Right.
But they still kept playing players more.
And the argument still was, this is a long-term investment.
I don't disagree with Ish's point that.
You have to play a long game here.
And I don't think anybody disagrees with that, that
your share will increase as we make more money and the owner has a right to recoup it.
But you can't recoup anything or build anything without the players.
So the question is not should you recoup it, it's what proportion should you get while we're recouping it.
And I think the player, the owners often will understate how much they're making.
I mean, I think the New York Liberty is the good example because you can't tell
purely by attendance, you can't tell purely by ratings.
And owners do a they do a lot of you know,
Madden Pepsi's being sold, hot dogs being sold, all of that stuff, all that stuff.
But one clear measure is the New York Liberty was purchased for somewhere between 10 and 15 million and it's valued right now at 450 million.
I mean, that's a huge fucking jump.
That tells you that these owners ain't just losing money.
I didn't say that.
No,
I'm talking to the...
But then when you start talking about league-wide, you'll take the New York Liberty, but then you got to go look at a team in a smaller market.
You get what I'm saying?
That's not going to be a lot.
That's not nowhere near that.
But then you also have to look at the TV shares, which are split this way, right?
And you have to look at what's happening in the summer, and you have to look at the fact that there is a big pool of money.
I think you're right.
I mean, I think the misrepresentation of argument has been, and it becomes a straw man, again, not you, but other people, is that they want to make what the NBA is making.
No, they just want a bigger slice of the pie.
No, I just said you're not saying it.
And you shouldn't take your product while it's more valuable and higher than it's ever been and try to frame it a different type of way.
It sends the wrong message for the 10-year-old and 11-year-old.
You should be trying to incentivize the farm system that's coming behind this wave.
Right.
We're building this.
The wave is here now with what these ladies are doing.
You want to to make this wave last 10, 15, and 20 years, and this sends the wrong messaging to the young hooper.
It does.
And the truth is...
Pay the people that need to get paid.
Okay, I agree with you.
Caleb Clark sounded a four-year, $338 million deal.
If you go back to five years ago.
With who?
The fever.
That's $80,000 a year.
Right?
The fever.
If you go back five, six, seven years ago.
I thought you said the wrong number.
You said million.
Wait, you said million.
That's why I said with 300,000.
I thought that was a good thing.
I was thousands.
I'm talking about that.
I heard thousands and two.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I heard thousands.
Yeah, million dollars.
$338,000.
I'm sorry.
Dollar deal.
If you go back years ago, bro, them girls would have died for that deal.
So I'm not saying that.
But it was still a bad deal.
And that was wrong, but it was a bad strategy.
I'm just saying, but as the stuff
gradually, yeah, like I think that it should be incremental.
Can I make one more argument?
Because there was a second piece of what I was going to say.
Because I hear what you're saying.
The other thing is, as an investment, it's a bad strategy.
The reason, and I know it's an extreme example, I concede that.
But the reason Brittany Grinder is locked up in Russia is because she had to go to Russia to make more money.
Right, true.
So you're risking the legs, the arms, the body parts of these players who have to play around the world just to make ends meet.
And so to me, as an investment.
Brittany Grinder was locked up in Russia because she had a bait pen and it's against the law to have that out there.
But he's saying she would have never had to go to the bank.
She dared play basketball.
She would have never had to go to Russia.
She doesn't require the bait pen.
Let me put it differently.
Let me use it.
I'm wrong.
WNBA players have to play in other leagues around the world during the offseason in order to pay their bills.
I'm saying that that puts your investment at a danger.
If I have, if I draft, what's my man,
Cooper flag?
If I draft Wimby, I don't want Wimby playing in Latvia.
I don't want to play in the summer league.
I don't even want to play in the summer league.
But if he has to, because I want to pay him, to me, it's worth it just to protect your investment and to protect the league and to make sure that Europe, that you closed the market and cornered the market on this talent.
So for me, me, it's all those things too.
It's just from investment.
I'm in agreement with every all of us.
I'm in agreement.
So I'm saying I paid them a little bit more.
So for me, the max salary in the WNBA right now is $250,000.
Maybe it should be $500.
I'm not saying it should be a million because I don't know the numbers well enough.
The WNBA was founded on April 24th, 1996.
Lisa Leslie, a prominent player, earned the maximum salary in the W, which was $91,000, and that's in 2006.
So no, these numbers ain't worth it.
So in 20 years, it's
double plus
200.
Yeah, but that's not great.
That ain't I'm not disagreeing with you.
I'm not, bro.
Again, I'm not against that.
They should be making more money.
You just explained it from the owner's side.
I'm just saying it, giving an objective perspective.
Like, yo, dog,
we was paying her $100 when we was taking losses.
We was taking losses, paying everybody money, not
making no money.
Yo, you know what?
The NBA, I mean, the NBA, the W NBA, and the people that run it could say what they say in this meeting.
They know the effects when Kate, they see the effects when Caitlin, when just Caitlin Clark is in the middle of the day.
No, but Joe, and that's a big thing.
A lot of these jumps have only really transpired over the last two years with the emergence of Caitlin Clark and
Angel Reese.
Okay, so this is my point.
They're getting $3 million sneaker deals.
To advance this conversation, this should be the point to Kelsey Plum and the rest of them that are shitting on this girl.
Shitting on Caitlin Clark.
See what the power of one and two
is.
So what could it look like if three, four, five, ten, twenty of us decide to take this stance?
They're not going to have a choice but to pay these girls.
I don't like the fact that they came for shorty and was like, yo, well, we ain't going to say that.
That was corny or Kelsey.
I think that was horrible because guess what?
She's the biggest star in this league.
And she got the t-shirt on, which is getting the entire movement more notoriety.
Yeah, I don't give a fuck if she wasn't in the morning
to decide if we were wearing it.
Hey, when y'all decided to wear it, she had one, right?
Yep.
And I'm glad that Sabrina told her, yo, that's not even relevant to what we're talking about, right?
It's not relevant.
It makes zero sense.
Yo, when LeBron James and them stood up and said, yo, we need this, this, this, and this done.
Nobody said, well, LeBron,
was you at the meeting?
No, nigga, I'm the biggest star in the sport.
So I now come forward and take the public stance that this is what we want done.
That matters more than if I was in the back door meeting at 6 a.m.
And just to be fair, though, they say Caitlin Clark's team wasn't there.
Not that Caitlin wasn't there.
People like from her squad or from her representation.
Did they mean from her record?
That's what I took it as like her team, like maybe her.
See, I didn't take it that way.
And this is an important piece because the WNBA all-star game was divided into two teams.
And one was Caitlin Clark's team.
So I thought they were saying that her team.
Her entire team wasn't there.
Yeah, meaning that that's not really a diss against her.
It was saying she was just talking that she was still saying too much.
But I don't think it was personal to Caitlin.
I thought she was more saying like
it's not relevant to be said.
Oh, it's fucked up anyway, but I just want to say, I don't know if it was an attack on Caitlin.
I think it was more just too much snitching going on about the whole collective dark.
The biggest star in the sport is supporting our movement.
I don't give a fuck what nobody's supposed to do.
And that's what I'm saying.
The last couple weeks when we've been having these talks about unionizing up here,
you know,
we've been here.
And anyone who wasn't at the meeting is okay.
We don't talk about it.
True.
Actually,
me and you had the lamb chops.
Fuck wasn't there.
Ice was a deal.
We was just politics.
Hey, yo, real quick, what I wanted to say is that I was kind of surprised that Joe Stance, from a business perspective.
Well, stop being professional, nigga.
Go on, let's kick his back.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But what I'm saying is that because I go through that as well in my business, where niggas feel like, yo, you got to pay me this.
And I'm saying, things are just starting to pick up.
Why would I pay you this when I can go out there and do it myself?
And if you feel you're worth this money, go out there and get it yourself.
Because when he,
their point to you would be, we the reason why things are picking up.
Yeah, but then I can, but then, but then I'm kind of surprised that he said, I can show you that you're not the reason, number one, number two.
Me involving you in this is a luxury, yeah, but that's different, Flip.
No, but hold on, but listen, bro,
Who's the biggest star in your network?
You.
Flip.
Yeah, Back Woody.
You.
Flip.
No, it's you, Flip.
Yeah, but we're talking about somebody without, I can go.
No, but hear what I'm saying.
In the WNBA, they can't do the WNBA without them.
Let's not bring in the WNB.
I'm talking about Joe's comments of standing on the side of a person.
Because people use that against me.
Listen, people use that.
Yo, I heard Joe say this.
Yo, nigga, if you know what you're worth and you work, don't bend in no fold.
So somebody, if I'm booking somebody, they will hold up content to say, I'm worth this.
And then when we look at the numbers, you can't even make that shit on your own.
So you just doing that.
You're being selfish.
You're playing to my feelings and my emotion, and you're using my man who I respect as a talking point.
So it's kind of reckless to say that because it's not true.
For the years when niggas,
for years, if I've been paying you more than more than enough or more than you're worth to me, and then I've been losing, now that I'm gaining because I got some traction
and you coming back around.
I got you.
And I can tell you, like, yo, about the numbers, when I was paying you this,
that you shouldn't have got that so let's work together and we can go there i respect that and then flip here's that's a tricky tricky speaker it is tricky but i got no it's the trickiest piece of that one
when you said to you
to me meaning that i i have the analytics so i can show so when you when you go to the accountant and they're like you paying why would you pay all this or even before i went to the accountant when i was talking to ian and he looked at it like okay this doesn't make sense why don't you do this and get a bunch of people that wants to do it and don't feel like they can play on your feelings he's been saying that yeah but flip.
Like, fuck Joe.
Don't stop.
Okay, man.
Joe just said he's bullshitting, though.
Nah, but he still be saying that.
That depends on what side of the table.
I got you.
Don't, we trying to build something.
I said you need to be very bones.
No.
And that's, and that's where you got me at.
Like, so if you could hear that.
No, don't listen to that nigga.
Mark.
You got it.
Mark, you know, you go.
Hold on.
You know you go with the bus.
Yo, you go with the words.
All right, this.
You good with the words.
Hold on, wait, wait, wait.
Listen, let me just say this, please.
You know, you go outside right now and make and make something on your own.
You've shown right now when you go outside and sit on the platform, the views you bring.
That's value in that.
You mean selling dope?
No.
Yeah, that platform.
You talking about like that platform, free platform.
You go outside,
you know the visibility, so you know you can step outside and add something to it.
So
I feel like my message to people is that, nigga, if somebody don't want to pay you, nigga, go out there and get them to own and show them.
Go get it.
Show them that you work.
Because I feel like people hold up content.
They hold the platform.
They hold the business hostage for selfish means and for selfish reasons.
I think you're right on all of that.
I think you're right on all of that.
But you just said, fuck Joe.
Yeah, I'm just saying, fuck Joe.
I got you.
Yeah.
I got a little series.
I see Corey pointing at me.
We got to organize this.
This nigga Joe balked out.
This nigga got 20 million.
Yeah, but I don't care about that, because I know I'm going to go out there and get it.
Yo, why y'all keep saying that?
That's funny.
That's the lie.
That's how the capitalists are.
You go out there and get it.
Yo, we said, you sit here behind the scenes and tell us how much you made off speaking engagers, nigga.
All jokes aside, stop, man.
No, listen to me.
I'm not even being funny no more.
All jokes aside, that's how they get you.
They be like, oh, you can get your own 20 million.
No, no, almost nobody's going to get 20 million.
True.
Like, guys, how do they hustle you into taking a short?
Because you figure one day when I get my 20 million, I'll be.
No.
But what if you believe in yourself, though, Mark?
What if the nigga that was like, what if somebody that told you,
what if CNN, now fuck me.
What if CNN told you, nigga, once we let you go, you can't go up there and get what you made up here or get more.
It can't tell you that.
You step out and talk, nigga, from the land to the rail, all that, and you get a lot of money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you believe in yourself.
You sit there and have the African people dance on your stream, and you kick it up.
I don't know if you paid them.
Yo, that's it.
That's it.
All I'm saying is.
It's a hard conversation.
I think it's a bad conversation.
I think that.
Tell me why it's bad.
I think that's how they divide and conquer us.
That's what I'm saying.
But before you.
I think that's how they divide.
Okay, can you explain it?
I don't want to be on that side of your backyard.
I just need to know if this is true.
Because I might have heard it wrong.
If one of y'all starts making 20 million, y'all are going to leave the job.
Never.
No.
No.
Thank God.
All right.
Come on.
Nigga may leave before he make the job.
You heard it wrong.
You heard it wrong.
Yo, what I'm saying, I think that that's a bad thing because that's how they divide and conquer us.
So what if somebody, let's say a label or network comes and says, yo, why are you sitting over there working for the nigga Joe?
He's making $20 million.
Yo, you could be doing your own thing, right?
Yeah.
And so they'll pull you away from that.
Procrastinate.
I mean, oh.
But people have been saying that to me.
We don't fall for that.
It'll pull you away from something, right?
Which is, one, that the probability, not saying that it it can't happen, it's a possibility that you could go on to make $20 million.
Cool, you possibly could.
It's not probable, but what I'm saying is it lessens this and lessens you.
And sometimes that's how they split us up.
That's all I'm saying.
Three years later from now, Flip could be fucking dropping cheeky nuggets.
And then
Joe could have dropped from 20 to 11.
You get what I'm saying?
And it hurt two things.
2011, somebody's getting fired.
Yeah, Flip left.
Oh, that could be true.
You see what I'm saying?
I don't think you're going to drop like that, but what I'm saying, you also promote us going out there and get it.
You also promote believing in yourself.
So it's double sticking.
This is what he says, so he ain't got paid.
No, no, that's not.
Sounds like you.
Well,
I pay you every time, WB for the
I have no complaint.
Uh-oh.
I'm worried.
This is for Andy Van Slike and Bobby Venir.
Barry's fine.
It's Andy Van Slike and Bobby Venier and rhyming for it right now.
Put Tim Wakefield over here.
Damn a strawberry nigga.
Oh, man.
Anyway, because this was about Caitlin Clark.
Yes, it was okay.
And the girl.
It was about the women of the WNBA.
I apologize, y'all.
Which means Caitlin.
Because a bunch of white people sit around saying the boys of the NBA.
Y'all be mad as shit.
But
I think that they should be paid.
I think we all agree they should be paid more.
The question is just how much.
And I just think we can't use a traditional job metric to assess it, right?
Because this is a long-term investment.
investment and we just gotta see speaking of people getting their money
fat joe was at sea world
oh
fat joe was at sea world you missed it performing a medley of his hits sure shout out to fat joe shout out to fat joe
the internet seemed to have a good time with that why
so i went i don't see what
i clicked on it I went and clicked on it once the internet was having fun.
Sometimes I'll be damned.
I'll be honest,
I didn't really get the fun this time.
I got it.
I didn't get the fun this time.
Not me neither.
I didn't think it was as horrible of a SeaWorld performance with the audience or people leaving.
Even everything was overdone.
Like when they said, oh, there's the crowd leaving.
There was seven niggas leaving.
Like, I did hear a faint.
I did hear a faint
call and reply.
Yeah, when he was doing a New York, I heard New York.
I didn't think it was as horrible as the internet made it seem.
Because you said the key word.
you said SeaWorld performance what the internet likes to do is do an out of context gotcha so if it was a a fat joe show and nobody's jumping up and shouting it's whack he the nigga he was in seaworld they didn't come they didn't come to see fat joe and he still had that place full and enough people in there were rocking to it so i don't think it looks bad either but if you look at the the internet's passing it around like it was like his show and nobody was into it so all these seaworld shows are like the halftime show kind of yeah oh then knock it off.
That's what I'm saying.
They're here to see a whale.
Yeah.
They're not.
Well, stop.
Stop.
I wasn't even.
Yeah.
Yep.
Listen, I've been saying I feel like SeaWorld has a bag.
I feel like some of the people talking shit have never had to perform in front of people that were not fans of them.
Were just perform.
Or perform periods.
Yeah, or perform periods.
Y'all giving them way too much credit, bro.
So, yeah, Fat Joe going out there at his age and doing all of those hits like i'm not i'm not never shaming that unless there's good reason to shame do not shame fat joe slaps man he's got mad
internet just like anybody that's that oh is not popping right now yeah trying to point out that there has been breaking news breaking news breaking news breaking news ozzie osbourne is reportedly passed away really wow damn
i was just gonna say i don't know right no i was literally just reading last week that
him and uh his wife had a a pact
A pact?
Yeah,
that they were going to go together.
If one of the, if the dementia ever got too bad with one of them, that they will go together.
They had a company in Switzerland that does it.
And
I was just reading that.
It sounded like a pact I would make and Renego in.
Change your mind?
Yeah, like if she go first.
Damn.
Damn.
I can't leave the kids.
But anyway, rest in peace.
Rest in peace, Ozzy.
If that's true,
rest in peace, Ozzy.
Rest in legend.
Another legend.
Them early black Sabbath records
and a white legend.
Them early black Sabbath records are incredible.
Some of the best music in the century, maybe.
Joe might not have none of that in this year.
Y'all don't think you got nothing to do with that.
We've had every talk in the world before we talked about Malcolm Jamal Warner passing.
So us two, y'all.
I'll be putting it off, man.
I was actually starting to show a little sad after hearing his voice on your intro.
It really kind of worked.
That was a great intro, too.
It was wonderful.
It should have let Rudy rock a little bit, though.
Yeah.
Baby.
Baby.
Yo.
Bro, that's our childhood.
Yeah, for sure.
No bullshit.
Like, that's all I thought about.
Like, yo, the Monopoly one, the Justine.
Justine one.
Like, all of those things.
That shit plays so much a part of our childhood that
it almost seems surreal.
I'm older than y'all.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
That was still with us watching that.
That shit is a little different for us.
Yeah, he was.
And I knew him.
He was a wonderful dude.
But before we even get to the personal part, I mean, what you just said is so important.
I mean, this was TV at a moment where most of us had five channels.
Yeah.
When people turned to Thursday night must-see TV at 8 o'clock and the Cosby show came on, 35 million people were watching the Huxtable family.
And Bill Cosby was America's father.
And that made Rudy and Sandra and Vanessa, you know, and Theo.
Sisters and brothers.
Exactly.
And to the older folk, they're children.
And he was the boy of the family.
He was the teenager.
He was the one who many of us could relate to.
The middle class kids could relate to him.
They could see themselves in him.
Some of us aspired to be him.
Some of the girls and maybe boys had crushes on him.
He meant so much to America.
He was adored.
And I think the beauty of the Cosby show was they didn't make the perfect kid.
He was the one when he was like, you know, dad, could you just believe in me?
Because I'm your son.
And he's like, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
And then he struggled in school, but then eventually they found out that he had
dyslexia.
So even neurodivergence was explored through him.
His mistake, he got the Justine, Justine comes on the episode where he gets caught kissing.
He got caught cheating.
Right, the other girl who ended up being Vanessa K.
Williams.
And so it's like he meant so much to us because we could relate to him because he wasn't perfect.
Him teaching your little gang member boy how to read.
Yep,
he's worked after school in a program after going.
He attended NYU.
With the NYU and all that other stuff and carry it.
And the Cosmic Show episode where they dance offset ends as they're going to his graduation, which was a perfect arc from the early part where he's trying to figure out who he is and to the end where he is a success story.
And we can't forget just one more thing, Gordon Gartra.
Now, what?
Talk about it.
Gordon fucking Gartrack.
I was about to say, and my boy was trying to get fly.
Stop it.
And my boy was trying to get fly for him, fucking Denise.
Stupid ass fucking Denise, man.
And then she promised him she could do it.
Then what you know she did?
She flipped it on him and was like, yo, bro, dad.
See, gaslighting.
Yo, that's the original, the real gaslighting.
Ice.
What?
If you don't know.
Bruh, we've done this.
Go ahead.
Y'all can do y'all.
But I don't know the Cosby show.
We're not going to do this.
I didn't know you didn't know what the Gordon Gartrell showed.
We've done this.
Oh, you should watch that, man.
I'm not going to watch it.
Y'all go ahead.
Okay.
No judgment.
But I'll just say this.
I had the honor of knowing him, and I'm going to try not to.
I'm not watching that.
That show's
the greatest.
You won't watch the old show?
Not that I haven't seen already.
I'm not going back to go watch it.
Again,
like he said, it was his childhood.
It's going to hit different.
Me watching it with my eyes.
I might say, okay, that was cool.
It's not going to affect me the same way.
I don't know if that's true.
That's mature.
I don't know if that's true.
I think you would probably enjoy it.
Yeah, I think it is true.
I think you would.
I think it's worth trying.
But, you know, again, teachers are just to bring it back to Malcolm.
Most child stars, and we've talked about child stars up here a lot.
End up being fucked up.
Yeah, I mean, and not because they're bad people, but the industry does a thing to you.
It's hard to be famous and loved and adored and the breadwinner for your family at an earlier 18
and be normal but malcolm jamal warner is not just normal for a child star he's just normal for any celebrity i've ever met i mean he was cool he wasn't cynical he wasn't bitter um he was generous he was kind um you didn't have to be super famous for him to fuck with you um he was just a dope dude with um with a great spirit and even you know and he had other roles besides theo obviously we know him from comedy we know him from you know all kinds of, up to even suits, you know what I mean?
And he had these amazing roles and these amazing people, but he was also an artist.
He was a poet.
He was a thinker.
He was a reader.
We used to talk a lot about like the elections.
And we were going back and forth about this Kamala election.
And even afterward, we would check in.
And he always...
There was an optimism and a hopefulness in him, a buoyancy, I like to say, that people don't see.
I mean, even what you talked about, the idea of smiling.
And he's often said, there's always something to smile about in life.
He just had a way of...
Yeah, there's just a beauty in him.
And my heart goes out to him because we lost one of the great ones and my heart goes out to his family.
He lost, or his, you know, obviously he's leaving a wife.
Dying is one thing.
Dying on your family vacation
is a totally different
ballgame.
It is said that he was just going for a quick swim by himself.
And his wife, after an hour had passed, had alerted the authorities saying something may be wrong.
And they found him about 100 to 200 feet from
the and and and listen man, listen, I can't swim, so you know, I speak from a whole different perspective, but when you travel, those water,
those that water.
There's a current out there.
It's different.
Yeah, I kept seeing people, old black people need to learn how to swim.
This ain't a
source of the entire ocean going against you with a wave or current that is five, six, seven hundred feet high, depending on where you at.
That's extra.
It's pulling out the waves.
It's the current.
You jump in right here.
That shit is pulling you down here mad quick.
And now you can't get back.
Yeah, you can't swim back up there.
And anytime I've been to Cabo, that water is so aggressive out there.
They keep people on the beach 24 hours because people go out there and get missing and...
lose their life and so forth and so on.
So they keep people out there to say, hey, no, no matter how attractive this water looks, do not come over scary bro it's scary 54 but i mean if you're going to fucking cover
costa rico rico you tell your wife and your kids hey i'll be right back i'll be back for breakfast give me
give me 30 minutes no but and that shit is different god damn
as a 54 year old
And he might have been a good swimmer.
He is a good one.
That's the thing.
He might have been a great
swimmer, fam.
I'm sure he's a mother.
Mother Nature is different, baby.
It doesn't matter how different.
Yeah, Mother Nature is different.
only 55 years.
Like, get one of them bungalows.
And God is different.
It's your time to go.
It's your time to go.
If you don't go in the ocean, then they'll fucking find another way for you to go when it's time.
I think the thing we learned yesterday and today and tomorrow and probably for the next upcoming weeks is how adored he was.
You know, I mean, I think.
I watched people who aren't in our culture be surprised
at how
upset and distraught people were.
Like, I wasn't surprised because we all grew up loving him, but I don't think the outsiders understood that because people were commenting, damn, people really cared about.
Yeah, motherfucker.
Like, back to your earlier point, when we lose a cultural icon like that, I'm not really looking toward what other people are thinking of doing.
That's true.
That's true.
Black people that I know
of all ages.
Everybody.
Because if you a child, nigga, your mom is in the kitchen with a little boo who like, oh shit.
Yep.
Like, yeah, that was, we all, we all pause.
Fam,
it hit different.
The reason it hit different.
The show was so great because, and this is a good thing and a bad thing about the child stars, fam, I don't give a fuck what other role he ever was going to take.
That nigga's Theo.
He's Theo.
That's Denise.
He's Theo.
That's Sandra.
He's a cow.
And that's Rudy.
I don't give a fuck what happens, fam.
That nigga's Theo.
And that's how pivotal and important that show was for us when we were kids.
Yeah.
Like, he can't escape Theo.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's crazy.
If you're going to be locked into a role, that's the one.
Nobody wants to share.
They came across the ticker like Kobe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's how I felt.
It was real.
When Kobe came across that nigga.
Yeah, we was playing with
the fuck out of the phone.
The phone's wild.
Yo, bro.
Yeah.
The phone's wild.
Kobe jumped off that motherfucking helicopter.
With the baby.
They gonna find that nigga.
We was like, yo, they gonna find Kobe down there with a broken leg out there in the desert, yo.
That's not gonna find me.
My heart goes out to his family, his children, his wife, like listening to him on Mel's pod, just like just hearing him.
That was the last interview.
I don't know if you knew that.
I still don't know that.
That was the last interview.
That's true.
I know it was one of the last interviews, and he dropped a whole lot of, he dropped some shit on there.
I mean, I know we got our, I mean, but
he dropped some shit on there.
Just to hear the stories, how his dad named him and how his dad...
had him fucking reading certain literature at a certain age when all the other kids was outside.
Like, his story got deep.
This morning, i was in a rabbit hole with all his poetry like like
that it just hurts it just hurts and again any death from 40 to 60
that's the shit i pay a lot more attention to now
same
like honestly when i first heard about it
it kind of
He passed away swimming, right?
And so he passed away.
It's a tragic thing.
But I was thinking more along the lines of some physical ailment
at 54.
That's like seeming like a sweet spot that people are going now
from heart attacks and strokes and sugar and all of these other things
in the early 50s, late 40s.
People are checking out.
Well, that's how I know I'm all fucked up because, of course, as shocking as the news was, after it passed for a second, I was so happy that, you know, you read Accidental Drowning and we start thinking about it.
I'm going to say, I reworded reworded it
but I was so happy once the story came out that it really just sound like a freak out what it sounds like
see that one for when the story came out it fucked me it fucked me up even more because I'm just thinking about
that feeling in that moment when you you you
when you know you know yeah I can't you can't find you pull out yeah you know what I'm saying and I'm on vacation with my family and I'm they there I'm not gonna make it back
like I was reading that, and I was like, yo, just imagine, oh, that's for sure.
Yeah.
And I've had family friends that have died
out of the country.
And sometimes dying out of the country makes it tough
with the laws to get the body back.
Getting the body back.
All of us.
You're getting the body back.
If you don't have the finances, all of that shit starts to come into play.
Customed paperwork and all of that.
And just having a little bit of a bad thing.
And ain't nobody ever expects to go.
So, I mean, of course.
Then you hope that people have their
business in those kind of order.
Yeah.
Shout out to him, man.
Rest in peace.
Thank you.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you for the example you set at that young age for a kid as a young age watching on the living room
TV.
And we'll miss you and we love you.
And this is a sad and dark time for not not just fans, because it was a lot of white fans too, but especially black people, man.
God,
I can't even think of too many names that when this happens, it's like a pause for everybody stop.
So shout out to Malcolm Jamal Warner, man.
Again, thank you.
Going too soon.
Rest in peace.
We love you.
I am going to show you up some house damage.
While you do that, I just want to clear something up.
I did misspeak when we were speaking about Ozzie, and I said dementia was Parkinson's.
Oh, okay.
So I just want to clear that up.
Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it.
Let's see here.

Prayers.
Hey, thoughts and prayers to the family and friends.
Let me put my headphones on real quick, man.
Hey, there we go.
Now I'm here.
Hey, now I'm sounding beautiful.
Ego.
You are my shining star, my body like I love fantasy.
There's not a minute, hour, day, or night that I don't love you.
You're at the top of my list, cause I'm not.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
I still remember in the days when I was scared to touch you up.
How I spent my daydreaming, planning how to say I love you.
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim enough.
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come and go.
Is this my shirt?
Is this the shirt I paid $30 for?
Is this the shirt there to pull the figure in Bartram?
Then ask me the question again.
Cockroach, you go.
No, man, I think you should go.
No, cockroach, go ahead.
Man, you got the chicken.
Look, guys, come on.
I got to get back inside.
Cockroach, go ahead.
Okay, see you.
That shit taught me a lesson.
Good evening, Mrs.
Banks, Mr.
Banks.

All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
What else needs our full attention?
Let's see, let's see, let's see, Brali,
you said you had a question you wanted to ask us.
I do have a question, but I'm only going to ask it if y'all are going to be 100% honest with me.
On these mics, of course, I can't say that.
I can't do it.
This question is pointless if y'all are not going to be honest with me.
Bro, all we do is tell the truth.
All we do is tell the truth.
Well, in that case, I'm going to ask you.
Oh, then you have to ask the question then, bro.
Tell me the amount of times each of you has initiated with a woman, it's 11-11.
Zero.
Come on, it's all right.

Old rappers outperforming young rappers.
Did anybody here get a chance to see the new secondary logo for Range Rover that they just came out with?
No.
No.
Where it's two R's.
It's an R over another R upside down.
Like an R, and then underneath it is an upside down R.
Okay.
And this is a big deal because, you know, Range Rover is not, I mean, Range Rover has not changed their logo in however many years.
And this is a big deal because one of them other car companies recently changed their logo and it was trash and everybody is killed for that.
Jaguar, wasn't it?
Jaguar.
Yo, this is trash, too.
This is trash.
And that's why it's the talking point now because people are like, why would Range Rover do something like that?
This shit look trash.
This shit looks like my daughter drew it.
This shit look like the Pittsburgh Pirates logo.
A P and a P.
It don't even look like R.
This shit is trash.

Yeah, that's him.
I guess he was cashing out.
Shit, all I'm crying.
Because he did all that shit.
He did all that shit.
They offered him 25.
And he turned it down.
And he said, no, because I want to have my day in court.
Well, sir, you have had it.
A couple of days.
I rolled a dice if they offered me 25, too.
Yeah, for real.
Until you get life.
Nah.
But life could be, it don't got to be life without the possibility of parole.
25 is very different than life.
It's some consecutive time on there.
It's like, so who read the charges?
Tell me.
Let me do that.
9 million of them.
Yeah, yeah.
Let me
give you a little bit more context.
Yeah, because it thinks he could beat it.
Yeah, no, I didn't say that.
You know, you say it right there.
Don't worry.
It's coming your way.
Well, I got you.
It's coming your way right now.
Okay.
No, itch stink.
He could beat them.
I'm saying if they offer it.
He's still in the 45 years.
Itch thinks he can beat them.
Just listen.
Count one, violation of Rico.
Ish ain't take them traffic tickets to trial.
You want to take something to trial.
You play around on double parking.
He went to Ryan because they paid that money, nigga.
He wasn't going to trial.
I went to trial.
Go ahead.
Now I'm with Ish on that.
Ish is also, I mean, it's 63 years old.
If they give him 25, that is life.
You might as well just roll the dice.
Yeah, so you might as well roll the dice.
You ain't got shit to lose.
If I'm anything over 50, I'm not going to be able to do it.
Don't do that.
Because this morning I started doing math.
I was like, damn, I got 15 more summers, so I'm 60.
Damn, that ain't a lot.
You got to be lit.
I keep sitting here talking, oh, seven trash, bring on the fall.
I was doing that math too, but then I realized.
I'm 40.
That's real shit.
I'm 41.
And if I make it to 80,
I'm just going to do this all again.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's a lot of fucking time.
It'll go faster, obviously, than the first 40.
No, that's white privilege to
think like
he already at 80.
Yeah, 80 is a real thing we count on 60 you'd be comfortable they've been they've been killing us hey you won't make it to 21.
you're at 25 oh you definitely won't be 30.

50 is our 80.
you'll be comfortable going at 80 you say
well who wouldn't be comfortable going to 80 yeah i mean i i don't want to go to 80.
yeah my dad lived to be 80 is 35 more years of lit my family's oldest so i expect to go to 90 90 is kind of my magic number
But I know you can't bank on 90, but I'm unreasonably hopeful for 90.
But if I was looking at jail time, I would be doing them normal averages and I'd be like, look, I'll probably, we get to 60, 70.
I'm not taking 25 years.
I don't want to leave jail at 70.
Yo, 20 more years is 65.
That is nuts to me.
Yeah.
That'll come quick.
Yeah.
That shit's sober like a motherfucker.
I got Aria.

That's right.
Them little leopard joints I bought from the Mandreon three years ago.
I tried doing them more yesterday.
I wasn't a cheater.
I wasn't a cool girl.
I wasn't none of that shit with leopards.
I was trash out there in my new street.
You're going to be headass out there?
My girl is my girl, so I ain't going to have no choice.
Her middle name is headass.
On vacation?
She fired her.
On vacation?
Head ass.

I just want to see what these fucking kids look like.
And I got a surprise for him.

I think I told y'all.
I can't say it on here because I'm surprised.
But I got a little surprise for him.
We'll see.
I want to see what the kids is like out of town.
Every time I talk to Trey, these were the last three times I talked to Trey,
his mom is in the background right there, too.
Like, hold on.
Why are you making her face?
He looks so disgusting.
He ain't spoken 30 years.
I mean, shit.
Yo, when that baby mom gets on the phone that you ain't spoke to in 27 years, that's still.
Oh, my God.
Well, you can take that part out.
But she's so happy to hear from me.
She's like, you have to keep our baby safe out there, girl.
Shut up.
You know what it is, nigga.
You know what it is.
It's the dad you thought wouldn't be here.
It's the dad you told him was evil, girl.
Yep, we go to to Turks.
Boy, they say those niggas are so stupid, man.
Yo, dads that's going through it in your co-parenting situation.
Just be patient.
In 26 years,

She'll see it your way.
26 years.
Or not.
Or if your kid is bad early and she calling you when he about 12, 13, like, you better come get this little badass nigga.
Yeah, I told you.
Keep thinking you can raise my jeans without me.
I knew them jeans would
sometimes.
Hey, them jeans would send your number through my call ID at some point now.
Maybe not at four, five, and six.
George Ash, George Ash work gay way back.
Yeah, come 10, 11, 12.
It won't just be a single mom type of thing.
So it took you...
How was that though?
The conversation?
Because you don't mind having a lot of...
You don't hold grudges, right?
Or you let it go because you're going to able to have a conversation with her.
Ain't no grudge to old.
She did the best job in the world of
raising my oldest boy.
True, but
that mentality.
That mentality comes from.
You know, reasonable beef.
You understand what I'm saying?
Like, that mentality comes from maturity.
I'm pretty sure you wasn't saying that a couple years, years ago.
Hell no.
It all comes from maturity.
It all comes from maturity.
In your 30s, you think, oh, fuck this.
Oh,
I'm not raising a child to the court system.
All the shit you think in your 30s.
And it's like, at 45, it's like, oh, I was bugging the fuck out.
If I go do what I was supposed to do and she do what she was supposed to do, then we should be able to do what we supposed to do, whether we was best friends for 25, 26 years or not.
So I'm happy to hear from her.
I'm happy that she's married.
I'm happy that she's happy that we could do things like this.
In your 40s, it's time to be happy about shit.
Yeah, mature.
When you make as much money as me,
I can't complain.
They said money don't buy happiness, though.
So
you can still make that money and not be happy.
Exactly.
Well, that's true.
But I got a lot of people in my life.
I see you.
Let's go freeze.
That nigga freeze on
the freezer.
Freeze energy is different than that, boy.
Them niggas ain't shopping at the right store.
They got happiness.
Hey, now.
They stop back.
They're going to the back.
They're happiness.
No, it's a removal.
They got the wall.
This is special.
Yeah.
Buddha library book, the wall move.
Yeah, go back there.
They got to have happiness back there.
It's all happiness.
They're all colors.
Go ahead back there.
Happiness ain't even as expensive as they make it out to be.
Hey, happy.
I can't believe that.
It ain't a lot.
It ain't a lot.
How much happiness costs, you think?
Well, a Target trip for my girl while I'm in the crib chilling.
Oh, that's the best.
Send her to Target real quick.
Let me get a long time.
Hey.
Let me see what else I need.
I can get happiness for under $500.
How long?
Short.
Now you're talking shit.
Short hip.
Short.
Short.
A band-aid.
Throwing the shit.
A temporary band-aid.
A little temporary band-aid.
bandaid what would be the yearly amount for a folk
that you think that you would need to make to be happy like consistently happy listen
this is a great conversation in real life I think that you should be able to get your happiness for free true that's not true but in this conversation I believe that but in this conversation
yeah I believe that me too should yeah should should should should but for the shallow bane people out there
I don't think it cost that that much.
Given who you are right now and shits off the table, what's the number?
Listen, do I have an ancillary $2,500 to spend every week?
Mm-hmm.
Because that's $2,500 or $2,500 is fine.
How many weeks is fine?
That's $1,000.
$10,000.
A buck $20.
You said an ancillary $10,000.
Yeah.
So I'm talking about an ancillary buck $20.
So you still got to pay all your bills.
He's talking about that.
That's what makes it ancillary.
So you're talking like
half a million year, you would be able to.
No, that's what I'm saying.
What do you think?
Nigga, I was happy homeless, but since we uploaded I was homeless and was not happy.
I don't know what the fuck you was at.
What page your line?
I'm not.
I've been around you when you wasn't homeless.
We was having some hella cool parties.
We wasn't happy.
Broke.
Yeah, we had.
You weren't the happiest, my nigga.
We had a good time, broke.
We had a great time, bro.
I ain't gonna be broken.
I had more fun, bro.
Hold on now.
I had more fun, bro.
Niggas was happy.
I had more fun, bro.
This shit may look different now.
By yourself in a room.
Happiness.
Oh,
that's pretty happiness.
But fractions, happiness.
I'm talking about.
Me too.
I wasn't happy homeless, but I was happy, bro.
Thank you, E.
Yeah, I'll take it back.
Yeah.
Happy, broke.
Yeah.
I was happy.
I was hella happy, bro.
I was real happy, broke.
If I had enough money to pay the bills and do like a bunch of people, so he said pay the bills and have an extra $2,500 a week.
Nigga was happy when they come to the business.
I was just looking at my broke.
That's the trick with him.
His bills might be butlers and mansion fees.
Yeah, so that's what I'm saying.
Like, I think if I was at.
Y'all butler.
I think if I was at,
be careful.
You know, they're listening.
1.5 a year consistent?
I think
I'd be straight.
I'm about to say, how many years you got to make that for that to be consistent?
No, if I was consistently at 1.5%.
Oh, you just mean period?
I'd be fine.
You'd be happy.
I'd be more than content.
I'd be mortified.
I'd be killing.
I don't think so.
I don't think that about you.
Yeah, I would.
Because
you're going to get tired of that.
1.5.
You're going to want more.
We cheating.
Well, not at 50, nigga.
You make 1.5.
We back to cheating, nigga.
You.
We.
No, no, we.
I'm still telling you what we would do.
Fuck you talking about it.
I'm telling you.
All right, now, what's the number?
I'm telling you what, look at me.
Now, what's the number?
You said you make 1.5.
If you make 1.5, we back.
What's the base number?
For you.
It's 1.5 or is it?
No.
So now, what's that now?
What's that number?
Nigga, 350.
350 grand a year?
Are you back at cheating?
No, I'm not saying that.
That's what I'm asking you.
No, no money.
But we all over the place.
Hold up.
But 350,000.
350 is your number to be happy.
I don't believe me either, but 1.5 flip.
What's your number?
To be happy?
Yeah.
Yeah, the Times got to vary.
Happy now.
See, this is why everybody can't just say what they want to the times.
The Times got to be very happy.
No, that's what I'm saying.
350, bro?
Okay.
That's not enough.
You can't tell me what's enough for my happiness, though.
Like five.
What does your happiness consist of?
That's an internal question, bro.
Because everybody's happiness ain't the best.
Yo, how much money...
I'm going to keep wanting more, though.
That's what I'm saying.
So the happiness, the happiness.
It's going to be temporary.
I don't need that.
It don't take a lot for me.
Yo, bro, I'm going to tell you.
Like, even in my older age, bro, the things that I would normally do
with money, I don't do it.
It don't take the money.
No, so what I'm saying is, what I'm, dog, at certain numbers, I could travel as much as I want.
I could travel in a decent manner.
My house would be fine.
So what's that number?
I just told you.
He said 1.5 for him.
Yeah.
If I'm at 1.5 or two somewhere in that range, I'm fine, bro.
That's the point.
The thing is, what makes you happy?
For me, the happiness comes from the peace.
Like not having to stress about certain things.
My daughters will be in the schools that I want to put them in.
You know what I mean?
Like, I can have a quality car.
My girl got a quality car.
We live in a neighborhood.
We live in a neighborhood that i want to live get that money now though
yeah that's what i'm saying yeah that's my point i just i want you to get it without having to go back to the block why are you not happy now it's family to me i'm saying i'm not happy see i'm saying i would be content like happiness and contentment are two different things
they're two different things
yeah right now i'm content i'm not fulfilled let me ask a question because there's still gaps in my life that i want to create
yo don't say that again yo does anybody in here know what makes them happy my girl my
i think a lot of people really don't know what make you happy.
That's true.
My girl.
Nigga,
I'm looking up school prices, and them shits are a monster.
Oh, no, I told you.
Huh?
Who do I clear?
Yeah, the house prices are a monster.
Yeah, and taxes are another monster.
That's a clarity.
That's a joke.
King Kong and gossip.
You could be happy.
From Montclair, taxes are a mortgage.
You could be happy for a while, but then when you start to experience new things, you start to come across new things, you're going to want more.
But I would want that in the form of experiences.
It don't got to necessarily be material shit.
But some people, to Flip's point, are never happy.
Like, you get that house, right?
And then you get a bigger house.
Then you go to the homies house.
You're like, oh, that nigga got the, oh, he got a pool.
Oh, shit, I need one of them.
Then it's like, oh, he got a pool.
We need that far.
And that would be, to me, and my
trick.
That right there is a trick, too.
Like, I've gone.
house searching and I've went to just because I like to not because I can afford it but just because I like to see shit I've gone to see the
20 and 25 and 30 30 million dollar shit.
Believe it or not, he can afford it.
Some of them I walk out of there saying, never.
Thank God I don't own this motherfucker waking up.
Bro, that shit would be a headache.
It would ruin life.
It would make everything miserable.
Work, my day-to-day looking at all this shit.
Because there's too much overhead,
too much.
Nobody needs it.
But you don't know that if you're just on some bullshit.
That takes mischief.
The fantasy, this shit, the one that's at this year.
And I said, yo, did you see this nigga house?
No, I'm talking about, right?
I'm going to see it.
It's that.
Well, he's also made.
I know.
I know.
But I'm just saying.
You got to be careful to keep and stick to the rivers and the beds that we used to.
Yeah, bro.
And again, if I had a house and my house was 5,500 square feet, 5,000 square feet, that's more than enough house for me.
Same.
I saw the interview you did in the kitchen that night.
When you give the lady the nickname.
I'm smiling.
Downstairs in the kitchen.
No, we watched that fool, yo.
No,
that's more than enough for me.
But don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I'm gonna be honest, listening,
I'm gonna ever be happy.
I'm happy with my family, I'm happy.
They bring me stability, but
the fact that I always want more and I have to go get it.
See, I don't think it causes me to, it's not happiness for me.
I used to feel like that, and I don't think that's it.
We're switching it.
And I realized, you know what I realized, honestly, is this the house thing.
It's when I started to go house hunting and it was like, okay, I can afford a house like this, but I don't want that.
I don't want that.
Or I'll pay this, but I'm not going to get the biggest house I can find for that amount.
I want to get the house that makes me happy.
And it was at that moment that I felt like I'd matured because there was a time where I would have felt insecure about that.
Yeah, bro.
Or I would have felt like I needed.
Now it's like even that dear for your happiness.
Bro, even so.
I'm going to keep it real shoe.
But wait, even cars and shit.
Say that.
I just don't look at them the same no more.
Me neither.
I don't look at cars the same.
I used to, I got clothes out there.
I don't,
I'm a sneakerhead.
I buy sneakers all the time.
But outside of that, bro, I don't really want much.
Yeah.
Not material.
I've changed, bro.
Yeah.
So
if you go through depression.
1.5, we're cheating in Brazil, too.
That's the whole wall.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We out of here.
I beat the.
We out there.
Thank you.
I beat her.
We're cheating foreigners.
I beat the.
We out of here.
I'm taking away my little Croatian.
Uh-huh.
Your girl going to be like, I beat the shit out of you.
He said Croatian?
Yeah, just go right to the water.
No, I was just going to the.
He's going to go with his white ass.
They got blacks in the motherfucker, boy.
You were saying, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Look.
Come on, if you go through depression, happiness is what?
Dormant at that moment?
You know, sometimes in everybody's situations, different depression, sometimes it's chemical.
Sometimes it's not about...
your material circumstances.
Some people have like
things that are triggered by things.
And sometimes mine is.
Sometimes it's seasonal.
Sometimes it's triggered by, like, my winter stuff happens because of things that have happened to me in the wintertime.
But it's not about what's going on in my life.
Like, there's nothing that I can get that would make that better.
I don't want more.
I'm not like, oh, if I had more money, I've had more.
It's not that for me.
I'm generally pretty, like, I don't do that.
So there's nothing that can be done to make that, that's what you're saying.
Like, no material things.
Not material.
The three things,
I think I said this before, the three things that my therapist always recommends, and others do often for depression is like exercise, therapy, and medicine he says you should do like two of those three things and so for me i don't really like the drugs so exercise and therapy so exercise and therapy and talk therapy for me are like the two things and when i'm doing that i'm generally okay now sometimes things will happen and we all have stressors but in general those are the things that that keep me i mean speaking and speaking to you i realize that that that that sometimes I went through forms of depression or anxiety, but I think I just fight it differently.
Yeah.
I think that the environment I came from, it was sort of looked down upon if you acknowledge that.
So I fight it differently.
I'm just in one of my moods.
You might not afford it.
But it's not a mood.
I'm going through something.
It's not a mood.
Like, if I could wake up and just be mad at my family or be mad, I don't want to talk to.
It's not a mood.
You're affecting people.
But you know what I mean?
You might not have fought it.
Like you said, where you came from, you couldn't allow it to happen.
So you just kind of suppressed it.
That's not really fighting it, though.
That's just like
linking it over here right now.
That link is to adulthood.
Yes.
But what I mean is that, like,
when I speak to Mark and Mark is explaining the certain things he went through, Mark and I had a conversation.
I'm like, okay, got you.
Then I started to say,
I've experienced that.
I went through that too.
Yeah, I felt that way, but I handled it differently.
Meaning, like,
I didn't
speak to somebody.
I'm just like, man,
I let a couple of days.
I might go take a shower.
You know what I'm saying?
But shout out to you.
Shout out to everybody.
Yeah, but
that's a journey.
And we all got to get this.
So I tell everybody out there as we wrap this, like, yo, just like,
see a therapist, do what you got to do, find some way to find joy and happiness.
I just of the opinion that, you know, we say you can't find joy in money, but also it's really hard to find joy when you don't have any.
A little rum and talk.
Gotcha.
Yo, I don't know, man.
My wife came, yo, first of all,
I should have never let my wife watch this podcast, much less reach out to y'all, man.
First of all, she walked around last week.
She smacked me my ass three different times with HOWAM.
I fucking hate this nigga, man.
I fucking hate this this shit.
Hoan.
T-shirts coming next week.
And she thinks it's the funniest shit
coming next week.
Oh, what?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can do that.
Why your business, nigga?
You got your t-shirts?
The Hoam t-shirts?
Of course.
I'm buying Hawam.
Show this nigga, nigga.
We can't keep putting out these shirts at the same time.
Oh, shit.
Your shirts are coming when?
They really are already here, but it's okay.
But they're dropping next week.
No, they out.
They dropped already.
Oh, thank God.

Yo.

Nigga, Al Green, one of them niggas.
Pit Family will get you, man.
Who?
I'm telling you.
I got to call the times back if you was dropping a HoAM shirt.
How much you made now off the Datastat-ish hoodies and the Hoams?
And did you factor in like the
one-offs?
Autism weariness and oh, yeah, breast cancer.
Like his sweet mom.
Small people's mom.
You just add like I'm for everything.
Small people.
What's the next mom?
Nigga, don't know one girl with
this.
This nigga's an idiot, bro.
What's wrong with you?
This nigga's a fucking fool, son.
You can't say shit like that.
It's a dirty chop slide anyway.
Mark's over there like this guy.
What else needs our attention?

Head in the jar.
Yo, Gibb, what up?
Good luck.
First thing in the morning, of course you put on that UM sweater,
just like you always do.
Tears drip from the faucet, and Dexter play on that television,
just like you always do.
You put the volume on the lowest for the neighbors down below.
But I'm stuck in places why glue to you.
Walk away, I'll grow you
And how am I to know you
I'm the closest here that I've been to you
Cause you keep my
job
Here on your nightstand
I'll spend my life less
If it's the shelf we're gone, then
be something sweet
Minds a prison, nobody will come Nobody's with me, nobody I try my best not to trick
These walls are paper thin Every now and then
I hear voices in the wind
Wouldn't floors creep with that there could've been
for our neighbors down below.
But I'm stuck in places by who to you.
Walk away, I'll grow you.
And how am I to know you?
I'm the closest here that I've been to.
Cause you keep my eyes
here on your ice and
I'll spend my life there
with my mind
If it's the shelf of gone dance There'll be something sweet
I want you
If it's the shelf of gone dance There'll be something sweet
I watch in the way you give someone
a free embrace.
This is me, my place.
My place.
No goodbyes no overdue.
Hold this lady, I wait.
In my place,
my play.
I'm on the ship.
That's Kamari head in the jar.
Big Ish, what you got for us?
He's five.
Yeah, he's tough.
He's tough.
Um, I'm going to Alex Isley, Masego, and Jack Don.
Song is called Good and Plenty.
Take up some space.
you're too far away
Make no
mistakes
I think
you should stay
You'll get every little bit
You ain't never seen a dream like this
Having at your fingertips.
Don't you let a minute slip, just say
old days.
Hope you
don't slay to
only
I got
good
plenty
I've been all the spaces in between
It's magic when I taste it in the beam
And every day is spent but in the streets
And fabic when I tell you what you mean
Chemistry,
intimate memories
Every time I give you all my
energy
Episodes, never sleep
Say you
have me.
Old days, dancing.
I heard
hope you don't sleep
on me.
I got
breathing
plenty.
Savory
I
stay
I
will dunk
you scared
and get
in
my
Say you
have a free
dark
old days.
Oh, I feel I feel
hope you won't
slay
only
plenty
That is Good Good and Plenty by Alex Isley, Masego, and Jack Dine.
That's far.
I'm going to the new Rayquan album, Emperor's New Clothes.
I'm going with my favorite song on there to join with Rayquan and Nas called the Omerto.
Throw bags to score on all the rap shit, just slow gas it.
Bring water like the Johnny pumps that flow nasty.
Hit sewers with shooters, the audacity.
Fascinating, appealing, underworld, but wonder girl.
Dope fiends love it, shooting they nuggets up.
Extreme criminality, I'm like the Rawsteams, the offsprings, all this tough.
This out my galaxy, Frankie Yale in the jails, silks, diamond spiders, we master writers, you dumb out, relentless on the come out, nocturnal habits, the mavens.
I'm too insulated.
This is just a crusade, nigga, we need it.
Get into it, everybody.
Night of the long knives, focus the gun totas.
The folders getting over, it's over now.
Eating hummus and rovers, seek sneakin'.
Fumbling gokers get rapped and they locus, tryna stunt.
Blunt frontin', knowing niggas to notice.
We jewel kings hate the bargain.
You robbin', you don't even argue, but it slid it off.
Make a move, you nod enough.
Drinking makers, the paintbrushes, we cake makers, Louie luggage, puppin' the Thui brothers, we straight haters, Barragamos, glass shoe taste, what's this?
Just the silk and the crunch wrists, your lunch niggas call them shepherds, leftovers, they eat a thing.
Some niggas get caught in their best moments.
We the examples, we who we said we was, never faked it.
Ones who wore jury they couldn't play with, the ones who stayed rich.
Details of my revolutionary ways probably get studied since CIA shit.
Who has true power?
The Torah are synagogue leaders.
Quran readers are pawn readers.
Witchcrafters are Christian pastors.
Rich rappers, Mark said.
Religion's the opiate of the masses.
Wanna says, I got thoughts as if a third percent What time you wanna learn what's in my head While I'm reclining I'm just stating facts as I respond like when the army walks with assault rifles in the army bases far beyond New York A bar in blocks like commands, guys and emergency triage Extended magazine I targets off Heartbeating stops, carts beating cops pull you over to Jeff for Warren's So give your best performance Nobody got time for petty in the city of Boston Cyrene's is my psychiatry office This morning I woke feeling great so I went to an auction Took it lost in a different scene spent the ticket on art.
So interesting.
A painting of a fiend in Hudson Yard.
Another painting was black natives before Central Park.
You know the claims, this was all natives to ring.
And the year was like 16-something.
So could this mean hustling began when the Indian finessed the Dutch man with opium on horseback?
This way before crack.
We always been to Mecca for supply and demand.
And every era, legends in this land is going hand in hand.
Damn, it's mind-boggling who we are, the modern kings.
It's spooky in Harlem, Bronx, Brooklyn, and all the queens.
And Staten Island, real type shit.
Dying speeches of real men.
I feel that shit, yo.
Everybody right now.
Everybody, yo, yeah, living the world.
Everybody right now.
Get into it.
Everybody that's power.
There's the Omerta, Rayquan, and Nas off the elbow.
What's the album?
Emperor's new clothes.
Emperor's new clothes.
Solid project.
Go out and cop that.
All right, man.
Good part.
For sure.
Good part today, mister.
Squad right here.
Boom, boom.
This is the crew.
This is the squad right here, man.
This is so stupid.
It is.
What?
Man, this nigga's an idiot.
Why are y'all getting mad at me?
Because every squad.
I ain't get mad at me.
Nobody mad.
I'm chilling.
That speaks to his fucking pinching of being able to find talent.
Yeah.
It does.
Listen, I know y'all don't want to hear that shit because y'all read the little article or whatever.
Y'all want razors.
But, I mean, I mean, shit.
What's wrong?
Some of us
can't get raises.
Gotta be locked in.
Not a fixed.
Gotta be locked in.
Yeah, niggas can't get raises fixed.
If you wait a sec, if you would have waited a second.
I got something for this nigga.
I got something for my brother.
He taught me well.
A little raise y'all for him, man.
I mean,
another nigga that was blind.
Yeah, I mean, he was blind.
Flip might have been blind when he signed.
Hey!
That was good.
Yeah, that was, that was, he got it.
I was blind as hard.
But now I can see it.
I got LASIK, nigga.
Yeah, listen, if any of y'all, if any of y'all want to prove how valuable you are to the company, quit in the middle of the contract and just show your worth.
I'll pay.
I'll pay if that trick works.
These are the songs that they play before something happened.
Listen, man, keep us in your prayers.
Yes, sir.
Lord knows we need to be there.
Shout out to every legend that we have lost recently in the past few months.
Gone but not forgotten.
We love you, we miss you, and thank you for your service, each and every one of y'all.
Again, man, hey, let's go, Rudy.
Yo, imagine being in the studio, though, in the 40s or 50s and coming up with this.
Hey,
hey.
Hi.
Yo, until next time, man.
So happy y'all can be here with us.
Keep us in your prayers.
Lord knows we need to be there.
Until the next time, we bid you a new farewell.
Adio, Sereba, Dirchi, Asta, La Vista, Arvois, So Long Goodbye.
A simple head nod will suffice.
Remember, life is a series of moments and moments pass.
So let's make this one last as if it's all we have.
Lastly,
the baddies are insecure.
The stagnant women want to travel, and the closed-minded women want you to teach them things, grab you a Tylenol, you might need it.
Shout out to you niggas out there that's not flossing, man.
Get you the little new dental flaw stick.
Clean the fucking shit out that fucking last night's dinner out your teeth, you dirty bastard.
Y'all get the water pick.
Yeah, I mean, the order water pick.
Shout out to Freeze.
Got me that good water pick.
Yeah, me too.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Freeze got me the shit to feel good.
The water pick, the nostril, nose, the hair, shaver.
I'd be in the bathroom shaving the shit out of my nostrils, nigga.
I feel 10 years younger.
I feel like Ishville when they put that Beijing on.
Itch and Mark, when they put that dye on, nigga, you got, look, your new hair, new growth is great.
Yo, look at this nigga, man.
You got to stop that shit, Mark.
Yo, this nigga was an idiot.
Y'all hold it down out there.
We'll be back in the New York Times in five years, maybe less, if prize picks come to play.
Y'all hold it down.
Until next time,
we love y'all.
Rest in peace, Malcolm Jamal Warner, man.
We love you.
And Ozzy.
And Ozzy.
God damn.
We'll fold that up right now.
Don't look away now.
Cool, see.
