Specifically, your outside outfit.

This is my gosh outfit.

We looked at issues outside.

Why are we talking about issues outfit?

This is my go-outside outfit.

Wait, they got to know why, how we got there.

No, we know they don't.

We got to know all that.

Just know that.

Oh, no.

That's all.

We started.

We started back.

That's crazy.

But he does look like he's going outside.

Listen, when light-skinned niggas,

specifically with hazel hazel eyes, ish,

that got, that had money in the 90s and got women, had their way with the ladies, like was a man of the night.

What?

He called you a Harley.

Seriously.

Flu Beatwalker.

A man of the night.

You were a man of the night.

Yo, do you know what a man of the night is?

You was selling beef.

What you talking about?

Beef men.

He was hat on, camouflage shorts, with something fly on top.

white ups and a fly top that has preferably red and white.

He's going out.

He was a little attention.

He, yeah, yeah.

He's feeling bad.

Feeling cute, Mike delete later.

No, this guy is nothing.

How many lollipops you got in your pocket?

Oh, shit.

Oh, yeah.

You know what you have to tell?

Yo, you play.

Yo, what if I just started?

That'll be better than eating the orange pills at the bar.

So say you.

It's cool, though.

Don't do that again when I'm I'm around.

What's up?

We got to step out.

We got a reminder.

My girl just left.

I'm supposed to be fake and sad, but if you're going out, got you.

And then if two go out,

Justin see you.

Squad got to go out.

That's true.

I'm outside.

See?

I hear you.

Good luck to my fellows.

See, outside, it probably goes smoother if I was married.

You out your mind?

It might go.

No, I don't.

I don't know.

Joe.

You'll sit your ass down.

Seriously, if I was married, married seriously, I might be able to be like, you know, I'm out tonight.

Okay.

That's fine.

Let me know how that works.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, tomorrow.

That's fine.

That's the way you do it tomorrow.

I'm not married.

Anything get me in trouble.

Stupid ass Amani.

What Amani did?

I'm taking a shower.

I heard a voice, a voice from the hallway.

Hey, Amani brought them girls to the pond.

Like, oh, shit.

It's like, yo, this don't have nothing to do with me.

You got in trouble for that?

No, but I had a talk that I didn't want to have while I was in the shower or wherever I was.

I said they catch you at the shower being.

Nah, she might have been at Target or something.

I don't remember.

It's all a blur.

She yelled all the way down.

It's all a blur.

What was your response, though?

What was your response, Lord?

I said, Amani had them girls stuffed in the

hallway closet.

And I didn't see them until they were.

The truth.

Shit.

Yeah, that was the truth.

The truth.

It was the truth.

But the truth.

When she initiates the questions, the truth don't ring off like the truth.

Like, it must be coming through different speakers.

You're supposed to volunteer.

It's a different record.

Yeah, you're supposed to volunteer.

It's accused it to all of you.

All pillow talking.

That was supposed to come in there during that.

No, this is good.

That is exactly what she said.

Why you ain't tell me?

Who the fuck is thinking about that?

I got 90 million things on my brain that are of importance.

The least of which being Amani's friend's spot sounds.

She's going to start using funny words with me.

So you were familiar?

No.

No, no, no.

No.

No.

Anyway, I'm talking shit.

I love you, baby.

And I'm super sad that my baby is gone.

If it's just going out, though, I'll fight through it.

And if y'all two were going out, I would like, I mean, then the squad got to go out.

Naturally.

You ain't get your permission slip, sign it.

Squad got to go out.

That's what I just said.

That's my permission slip.

Nah, if you bring your girl, I got to fly my name.

Nah, I didn't say bring my girl.

I said this.

Oh, like guys night?

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

Guys, going out?

Hey.

Guys, night.

Guys, night.

Look at my face.

Guys, night.

All right, it's time to have some.

If we out, we out.

Look at Mark.

What's up, Mark?

Get a substitute.

But no, no, no.

It's been work stuff.

And then my son's been six, so I've been in the hospital well.

Then he's finished.

Is he all right?

He's like at 75% now.

He was hooked to oxygen before, but now he's breathing on his own.

He's good.

He's home.

And he's a complete asshole, man.

And

there's no other way to say it.

No, I've been saying that all morning.

He only get in the hospital on work days.

Yo.

Jesus.

Who are you telling?

He's back running.

Yo, he tore the office up today so bad.

I really think he needed more medicine, and they just

be passive aggressive at that point, at least five.

And they sent him back to school.

But he tore the whole office up, man.

He was even up since 5 a.m.

I'm going through the same thing, but with cats.

I'll trade you anything.

I'm allergic to cats.

I will trade you.

Yeah, man.

So I just ain't been sleeping.

That's all.

And I had to do a little writing wave yesterday.

So, you know,

Like Blanca from Street Fighter.

Hello, move he did with the Blanca Rock.

Oh, you went wrong.

Yo.

I'm just curious.

Did you think that he didn't fight like Blanca?

Yeah.

I never thought about it.

Then he got on the ground, hit him with the Electro Shock.

No, I like this.

Who's our Street Fighter characters?

Yo, that is hilarious, y'all.

Yeah, Flip was Blanca.

And it worked.

Loudmouth-ass nigga.

Hey, when the nigga loud, you got to put him there.

Electric.

You got the little electric.

There's something wrong with y'all.

You know that.

There's something wrong with you.

I watched that video about 35 times.

I know.

It was a crazy day.

That nigga leaned back.

That was before you came out of the day.

You did lean back.

Yeah, it happened on Monday, then I came Tuesday.

And he didn't want to tell us about it.

Oh, that happened on Monday.

I ain't going to talk about that.

Labor Day was Monday.

Then work was Tuesday.

I was here.

Oh,

the footage dropped while we were doing Patreon.

So, yeah.

That's crazy.

That's what it is.

It is what it is.

Don't let the parents call.

Yo, mad people call me.

Listen, mad people call me out here getting that feisty nigga Druski out here running the world.

Yeah, yeah, well, that's that's that's what I want to put on that's his journey.

Oh, we definitely got to talk about uh white face doing white face.

That's what was my That show was hilarious.

I knew it was bad when Piers Morgan called me today to talk about it on Monday.

I just lighted him up again.

Yo, Mark, man.

I'm busy anyway that day.

I got to do something else, but I would have, because I want to take that on.

But the video was.

That's why you really be going up here.

I think Mark.

It'd be a challenge to your fucking vernacular.

Let's get up there.

It's like a fight.

It's a spar.

Do you feel like Van Lathan is trying to run with some of your socio-political ones?

Oh, Oh, he even took a couple spots.

That little t-shirt he had on at CNN.

He went a little t-shirts now, too?

If he gets green jeans, you're gonna sell it.

Now you're my slaughter.

Why are you selling about the shirt?

Nah, Van had a t-shirt on CNN that said,

Slavery is white history.

White history.

Us, how we survive slavery is black history.

I just ordered that shirt.

I was like, that would be Mark sitting right there, him and Pierce, or somebody.

Yeah,

it's cool.

He got the spot.

Proud of him.

Nigga robbed your punk ass.

Give me your shit.

Give me that, nigga.

It's all my shit now.

That's crazy.

That's why you can't tell your guy friends when you lose a gig.

Why?

They double back.

They start behind you, right?

Hard y'all need a hole.

Niggas start being a happy hour with the HR bro.

When I started making phone calls to put everyday struggle in in other places and talk to all of my friends, the niggas sounded ecstatic.

They sounded like they was having the time of their life.

Like, nah, man, no room for that over here.

So you niggas happy I got fired, huh?

Yes.

Yeah.

Niggas behaves.

Yeah.

I had that shit on lock back in the days, man.

Oh, the good old days.

Don't wait.

Mike Shaq, one, two, one, two.

Yeah, I mean,

I was excited yesterday with all that rain and thunder.

Except for during the football game.

Yeah, fucked up my duck.

Yeah, that.

I ain't young enough for the football game to stop for an hour.

Yeah,

and I'd still be awake.

I woke up, the game was off.

Damn.

It ended the same way all y'all games end, though.

Oh, shit.

Shout out to wherever you might be listening from.

Shout out to the first and last time listeners out there, all the subgroups.

Yeah, that's all I just saw.

So Tanner is here in real life.

And last but certainly not least, each and every one of you guys are here.

What's poppin'?

What's poppin'?

Gang's all here.

How we doing?

How we feeling?

Hey, shit.

Feeling good.

We're feeling good.

Don't forget this episode is brought to you by a few by power by Prize Picks.

Prize Picks gang.

All right, what's going on?

What's up, man?

What can I exploit?

What can I agitate?

Well, let's start in a place we never start.

Drake.

Or agitate.

Or agitate.

Right.

Last night, Drake put out a new single, sort sort of.

Well, he did a live stream for an hour and a half.

Which he's been doing three.

This is episode three.

This is his new rollout.

Yes, his Iceman rollout.

And in it was a song.

There was a couple songs in it.

A couple songs, but there was one

that people really kind of felt strongly about.

But the hour and a half to me

was

surprising.

It was the least interesting hour and a half.

I've spent in a really, really long time watching something.

And I was locked in because, you know,

a lot of of coffee.

Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see how that might lock you in.

Yeah, triple espresso, yeah, triple, quadruple.

But as I was watching it, I was kind of waiting for something interesting to happen.

It was him kind of just driving around, and it was.

And you heard some of the songs from the from the party album.

You heard some stuff, you heard the new one, you saw him hugging this really beautiful woman, sitting in his room with interesting art.

I mean, it was beautiful, aesthetically, it was beautiful, but it was like directionless.

Content-wise, content-wise, it just wasn't saying much of anything, which is what all of these have been so far, by the way.

I've watched them all.

By watching, I mean scrolling through all of the absolutely nothing

to get to the things that happen, which are minimal.

And that's what it was.

It was an absolute nothingness.

I'm trying to think of it.

See, I think that's dope.

Do you?

But isn't that retention?

The game is retention.

I ain't even got to do it.

Y'all got to do all the crazy shit to keep people watching.

I could just drive around and play some old shit or some records y'all ain't heard yet, and y'all y'all are still going to tune in.

Nobody understands.

I get that.

You got the four Pinogchios sitting at the table.

The fucking waiter come and drop ice in the plate.

Like, all right, what the fuck is going on?

I'm watching the shit.

Like, all right, hold on, let me, let me, let me, what the fuck are you doing, bro?

Yeah.

It was nuts.

And that's my man.

He's cool, but I don't understand.

I know the football game was on last night, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

See, I don't watch football.

And the game, I mean, the game paused.

I was watching the score just to make sure I wasn't going to get a bunch of cowboy trolls on my timeline.

and I stayed with the Drake thing only because the song

that's just how I feel

which

I haven't heard any of you

I have I want to know what y'all think about I only heard one

there's one with the and there's this one that's just how I feel was the one everybody was responding to personally before you play it I didn't hate it nah that should

it's it's a little too Atlanta for that it doesn't sound like anything original right the flow isn't original the content he ain't really saying shit but he can rap and if you I like when he raps so for me it was worth listening to, but it don't feel like this should be the third thing you release.

I really like the first

day either.

That's fair.

I really like the first minute.

But again, I'm just playing shit.

We shouldn't treat it like a single.

Yeah, don't go through that.

Okay.

That's what it is.

Throughout here,

sir.

I'm here, okay.

I'm here.

Beasts like this one make me feel like my soul's free.

They pay me to speak from the heart, they think that my soul's free.

All of them summers are slappers, baby, you owe me

for real.

I'm here, yep.

Probably would slow me down if I carry my trophies.

Maybe when no one's around, I rap like the old me.

I used to put chains on all of the necks and my broke skis, my OGs,

yeah.

And now to remember, I took the chains and I broke free.

I wonder how long I'll be at the top if they don't kill me.

I wonder how long it take them to count out 2,000 million.

Like that?

Yeah.

And a blossom.

Yeah.

This is the part where I said start to go to Atlanta for me.

Yeah.

And I made way too much in a week.

Must be 250 at least.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Oh, y'all tricked me, man.

Y'all tricked me too.

Yo, audience, just so we're clear, just so me and y'all are clear, I told Parks I wasn't chiming in on none of the drake shit because I didn't hear none of it.

Well, too late.

He stopped doing that to do that.

And that's what I was saying.

Man, now play it again.

Not from the beginning, but I just need to hear that break again.

There's no way that that break got approved.

That's what I'm saying.

Okay.

I wonder how long I'll be at the top if they don't kill me.

I wonder how long it'll take them to count out.

Kill it, Doby.

Nah, this is a whole record somewhere.

That's a whole record.

That's a whole record somewhere.

I hope so.

I think he ain't want to put the T out for the world.

But he wasn't going to drop that old record.

But this is a general week.

That's just how I feel.

I'm going to break it.

It don't sound like nothing original.

Hold up, hold up, because I need to hear you.

That's just how I feel.

Yeah.

That's just how I feel.

And I love when they're talking away.

They've been talking since 2008.

This is what did I miss.

Yeah, this is what did I miss.

That's just how it is.

It's the same thing.

Yeah, a little bit.

I'm good on this one.

That's just high.

And I went by the whip for my brother.

Same body, but two different colors.

Let's go.

And I might see if I get another.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

It's not bad, it just sounds like everything else.

That first shit, when I heard

Joe's gonna love this.

The first shit.

When I first first heard it, yeah.

But I think that first shit came on.

I was like, shit, why are they killing him?

Right, right, right.

Because it gave us 15 seconds of it.

Right.

That record has to exist somewhere.

It does.

I hope it does.

I need it to.

There's no studio that was okay with stopping that.

That's not true.

I'm not even letting y'all talk about Drake like that.

Facts.

He ain't that far gone.

No.

But that other shit, that's just

a different version of what did I miss to me.

Right.

I agree with that.

I don't really need that.

I don't need that.

And that's why everybody's killing him.

Costanette went nuts.

He trashed the whole

stream.

He said this stream was like ass.

It was a waste of his time.

Then you had people like Rick Ross come on and clown, making videos about the song and the stream.

People don't like you, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, people would use it as an opportunity.

If it was fired, people probably would have said nothing, but it was so disappointing.

Everybody felt like they could jump on.

But this has been the streams.

Like, it's been hours of nothing with two seconds of rap.

I think people with this one in particular thought the album was coming.

Yes.

That's really what it was.

They thought the album was coming.

Was the other streams on Thursday nights?

I think.

I don't remember specifically.

I remember them being.

We have lives.

I remember them being days already.

No, no, I'm just saying.

I saw a lot of talk even leading up to this.

Oh, shit, this one is the one the album's coming.

I don't know where they got it from, but a lot of people kind of soup themselves up to think that he's dropping the album tonight.

Let me ask y'all.

Sure.

So when he streams,

they get the analytics and all that shit from the stream.

I'm sure.

Yeah, he does.

So I think this is potentially him building back up his fan base to see that,

yo, when I drop, are they going to support me?

If niggas is willing to sit there and watch me ride around for an hour and a half and it's 70 zillion motherfuckers in my stream, that means that when my album drops, we kind of getting back into public favor.

Okay.

I can't believe that.

I think it might be all listening regardless when his album drops.

I think he...

If Drake dropped that album right this second,

we're hitting pause.

Everybody's going to stop and listen to this album no matter what.

People who love him, people who hate him, people who are looking to say, I told you he's back.

People to say, look, he fell off.

I told you he ain't shit.

It's going to happen.

He's just that big of an artist at this point.

I think he's tapping into streaming is very popular.

I think he's tapping.

He's been dabbling with it with Aiden and with Kaisenat and all them.

I think that he is tapping into it and trying it out.

And I think he's trying different shit from the website to the Instagram drops to the

all the different content shit that he dropped.

Like, I think he's just just trying different shit to see what works for Amazon shit yeah like I think he's just trying shit which I kudos this ain't working but it's not great content to me that's all I'm saying he don't need the money yeah I feel you about the engagement yeah you know

it's hard to say no

no what I'm saying is I think his stature is so high I think it's I want him to constantly put out high level art and nothing like if he was a different artist be like look if you can make this much money fuck it just do it I'm like I'd rather him I'm thinking about legacy for him yeah see and

I think he stopped doing that a long time ago.

Yeah, you're right.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, yeah, I think post-Scorpion, he ain't been doing the high-level art moves.

I've been playing whatever games need to be played at the time.

All right, it's streaming.

Let me give you a bunch of songs.

Let me stop making complete albums and start making playlists where it's music for you, you, you, you, you, and you.

And now the game is

all of this live streaming stuff.

Okay, cool.

Let me play that game now.

I think he's just keeping up with the times.

Speaking of as foolish as this may sound, I've never seen such a dominant artist find themselves in such a make or break position with an album.

Like this album is very make or break, no matter what it sells.

I'm not talking about that.

Yeah.

This is, I would think, is a really important release for him, which is probably why he's focusing on...

the streaming and doing it this way.

Testing the water.

He's got some advanced analytics somewhere that's telling him to do it this way.

In fairness, there hasn't been that many artists of this magnitude to even compare to.

Like Mike, the Beatles, I guess, Eminem, you'd have to throw in there.

There's not too many people where it's like

they were in this position.

And it ain't too many people that have been through what he's been to either.

Yeah, especially in this era.

Yeah.

It's kind of like LeBron.

Yeah.

You really can only compare, there's nobody else to compare him to.

He did drop another song.

I don't know if y'all want to hear it.

This is with Yeet.

Oh, God.

Yeah, fuck it.

Doghouse.

I bet they find you face down.

Yo.

Signs of eggs, see a crash out.

Took too many pills, see a crash out.

Yo, B keepo.

I'll keep going to something.

Don't try to get me in trouble.

I ain't saying that.

I like what I saw and so I cashed out.

You're bad.

Hey, Cindy, you're bad.

You're bad.

I'm tired of that little Batman voice.

That's why I just want to say that.

I never liked it.

I'm tired of that Batman voice.

What is going on?

I like what I saw and so I cashed out.

Yeah.

All right, all right.

You tried, you forced me to say it.

Well, distinguished panel.

Distinguished panel.

how do you guys feel musical experts i'm not a musical expert but i don't i don't like that that record's not for me yeah i'm not the target demo for that song yeah i'm too old for that none of it sucks it all feels like album filler to me and none of it sounds like something that i want to like that i want to hear outside of that that first 30 seconds of

whatever that was hey if it get much worse i'm gonna start asking to bring yachty back to the studio oh shit they dropped the second record too The third one?

No, he dropped another song.

He dropped Him and Party.

Oh, yeah, the remix.

The The remix with Cash Go.

We can get to that later.

That shit sounded great.

That's when he was driving it.

That shit made me look it up.

I was like, oh, this shit is fine.

That's the only thing I like.

But then when I saw it was a remix, I was like, yeah.

Do y'all think any of these songs will appear on whatever project is coming?

Yes.

No.

I do too.

Yeah.

I think the ones that...

React.

Yeah.

Yeah,

he's testing the waters.

That's what I'm thinking.

That's what he's doing.

He's going to see the reaction and he's going to just.

This is live listening sessions.

Bait and switch.

I don't find these to be too far astray from what he's been doing for the past few years so i do think they will make the album but that stuff that he's been doing for the last

part the stuff he's been doing for the last couple years hasn't

kept him at the elite level that everybody holds him at right he's actually getting flack for the shit that he's been putting out the last couple years so i think these are literally testers that he's throwing out he got his fillers out today

hearing what the responses are from the masses and i think he gonna be led in that in that direction.

So, that first shit that we played, that everybody's saying it was flying, he's gonna start leaning into that direction more.

If he do that, that's the drink I've always loved.

That's the drink I actually love.

I think that shit is what did I miss?

To Joe's point, I think that second song is, or when it

was pivoted.

Yeah, that was the same shit.

Don't nobody want to keep hearing that, bro.

Yeah, I agree.

I agree.

Conspiracy theory, last night.

People were saying when the rumor that the album was coming out, suddenly Justin Bieber pops up with the picture holding up his swag two album saying midnight.

Now, it didn't come out at midnight.

It came out later.

I was up and listening before it, but the argument was maybe they were doing that to block Drake.

The Def Jam was potentially rushing this Bieber piece out to push back against Drake and to undermine his success.

Is that a crazy theory?

No.

I believe it.

You believe it?

I don't believe that, but.

Well, I believe it only because this is the second time.

Yeah, first with

Clips.

First time with Clips, Now with Drake.

How many Bieber audibles does

well?

I mean, shit, that's what it tells me, too.

Clearly, they ain't been at Justin Bieber's house in a while.

I don't know who the fuck they think he is anymore.

He ain't the guy that's about to stop.

He ain't stopping Drake.

He didn't stop the Clips.

Yeah.

He drove it up.

Yeah.

He blocked the one, though.

Maybe that's all they're trying to do.

Again, to these artists today, the number one that week is like

diamond.

Oh, pay the 50 grand like Young Thug did.

That's the way they treat that.

Stress it over this.

Go to Chase.

Pay the 50 grand.

Block it.

Yeah, I do believe that.

And that's why it might not have came out until three because they really weren't prepared for it.

Yeah, they put a lot of track sales, 44 tracks.

on the new Beaver Swag 2.

It's two discs.

The second disc is really just the first album.

Swag one, yeah.

Never before has there been a rapper to rap as great as Drake raps.

Not rap great like

this not great anymore.

For a long time.

For a long time.

That ain't never happened before.

Dog, we talked about this when he did the Scary Hours 3 joint, which was rapping.

We already had our, we got to rehash that.

Yeah.

But the masses ain't taped to that.

They don't want to hear it.

They don't want to hear that.

And again, Drake ain't just rapping for one particular audience no more.

See, I hate this.

I'm so tired.

But, dog, what the fuck you want?

I don't want to hear that.

Let me speak, man.

That album is not what we're talking about, Drake rapping great.

We're not like, go get alchemist and conductor.

Like, he was rapping over Boy Wonder Beats greatly.

He was rapping over hit records greatly.

He doesn't have to go do boom bap to.

Yeah, that scary hours creed shit wasn't.

I know that you keep painting it like that, but it don't address the point.

Like, he was rapping great on hits and records.

Yes, I agree.

He ain't been making hits, period, like that since.

All right, so you're not making hits, and you're not rapping great.

I think he's still been rapping great.

That's what we differ.

We differ.

Just on what you're saying, there was a period, and you may disagree on this.

All y'all may disagree, but I thought there was a period after the Eminem show where M had a couple of really uninspired albums.

He raps his ass off,

but he had a string of albums that just weren't good, and they felt uninspired to me.

He did.

Is that where Drake is now?

Is he uninspired, or is he just trying to be so strategic that he's I think that he's trying to appeal to youth and youth culture and it's not really working.

It ain't clicking because he's also 38.

Like you don't have to try to do this.

I think in an attempt to stay in that major pop star lane and be young and appeal to young, it's backfiring, in my opinion.

I agree.

That's a really good point.

Yeah, like the streamers have turned against him.

Well, at least after episode three, they weren't a fan of episode three.

Let me not say turn again.

I don't know that they were were a fan.

It sounds like a lot of people haven't even watched the other ones.

Judging by the.

Because if you saw the other ones, you would have the same opinion.

Like, he's just, it was nothing for an hour, however long the shit was, with a song somewhere.

Yeah.

This is the same formula he's used for all three of these ice men.

I wouldn't expect to get so much love from the streamers because I would expect them to view me as competition.

That part, too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Listen, I'm reserving anything that I have to say on the manor until I I hear the project.

A lot of y'all out there already know where I stand on all things Drake.

It hasn't changed.

I'm just waiting on the music.

And I want to be clear, like, because we get the flack for being haters up here.

We love Drake.

We want to see and hear great Drake.

Like, that's all that it is.

I was telling parks outside that, yeah, I'm not feeling any of this music, but Drake not being great hurts.

Yeah.

It hurts the ecosystem.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, things are not the way they're supposed to be if he's not

great.

Niggas ain't making as much money as they would normally make.

Yeah.

Listen, I follow.

The excitement, the moments,

everybody having like that.

What am I deaf qualum target?

Everybody having that store to go to

where you could find, you could get a song for me, you can get a song for you, you can get a song for you.

That's why I don't like that shit that Ice keeps saying about uh

uh what's

up yeah about oh he's uh oh he's he's trying to appeal to the kids

dog target got shit for the kids and for adults and for me yeah so yeah but we'll see yeah but if i'm chasing both could be true though both could be true and speaking to the the content piece like i follow a lot of football uh podcasts dolphins because i'm a dolphins fan and they're unbiased you know just reporting but they always say like it's good when the team does good more people care about this shit so like it's kind of the same concept here like you want to see him do good to your football analogy drake is the cowboys

i said one thing drake is the cowboys with the nfl going against exactly

it could be july it could be may and the cowboys be on espn okay that's what she said even when they lose even when they ain't guess what the headlines are the cowboys when the cowboys Cowboys are great, guess what?

The headline is the Cowboys.

He's the fucking Cowboys.

And from a

analogy.

I don't disagree.

I hate the Cowboys.

You ain't.

Not just that.

Drake is fighting an uphill battle right here.

He is.

Like, the damn near the music industry is turned against him.

And he's trying to navigate through this.

He ain't never been here before.

Ever.

Because he's been the darling since he's been crowned.

So if I think about it.

So now this is all brand new shit.

It's new territory for him.

I agree.

I think the solution is slaps, man.

Yeah, sure.

I agree.

music.

There's always slaps.

Where's 40?

Word.

There's an article in the Rolling Stone I haven't read it yet.

I'm curious to know where 40 is because I feel like 40 being absent or seemingly absent is maybe kind of why we're getting some of this.

I could be wrong.

Shit, give me Quentin Miller again.

Yeah.

At this point, shit, I'll take fucking shorty that worked at Courtney's Court.

Give me Courtney from Oooters.

Go find the damn Blackberry.

These raps.

This is not it.

Yes, I do.

I'm interested to see.

I want to see how the younger ones feel about it.

Like, that's what.

Because it seemed like he'd be playing to them.

Like, I'm fine if it's not for me, if I'm not your intended audience.

Yeah.

But now, whoever you're intending to, I want to hear what you're saying.

Man, go home, nigga.

How about that?

Niggas ain't going home enough.

Go home.

You ain't making them songs from the embassy.

Your house too fly for you to even lie and say, yeah, I came up with this in my living room.

No, you didn't.

You somewhere you ain't supposed to be coming up with this bullshit.

I'm not in the living room, yo.

The great room.

The great room.

Yeah, my bedroom.

The great room.

Yeah, he don't have a living room.

But yeah, go in there.

And be great.

Yeah, I don't know where he's at listening to somebody listening to.

Anyway,

what else?

What else?

What else we got?

Who wants to argue about ice spice and Lotto?

Let's do it.

All right, I'm going to play it.

Please.

And yet, right?

I'm going to let y'all know.

We'll gonna let y'all know.

Let y'all know before I cut it on.

Cut off?

I like it.

Let y'all know before it even come on.

So y'all know what side of the fence I'm on.

I like it.

They ain't gonna never change.

Unsurprising.

45, 50.

It ain't gonna matter.

I like this little song right here.

Okay, okay.

I see y'all, I see y'all thinking about it right now.

Trying to see where we go in.

Y'all are unsure.

A lot of stars, you know what we going.

My man be catching me, he putting a pattern in my bag.

You such a 20-year-old bird.

But that should make you want to go outside, though.

He be outside.

I know be outside side.

That'd be getting me in trouble, too.

I'll be outside a lot.

All right.

But if we go outside tonight.

And that come on?

Oh, I'm going to ask for that.

You're going to make that come on.

I'm going to request that that come on.

Did it a jukebox show?

How do y'all feel about Lotto and Ice Spice debting whatever tension they had?

I think that's fly.

I like that.

Things coming together to work.

Women power a video shoot.

I thought it was wonderful.

Yeah.

I watched it so much.

So you watched the video, huh?

Yeah, I watched the video too.

That was a good coffee last time.

Shout out to me.

You see coffee like this.

Shout out to Ty Lil.

Yes, for sure.

Hopping out with that gap.

I'm a bad bitch, always always pouting.

Niggas be so damn thirsty, trying to jump hepers, and we be spouting.

I fought them about the broken spitty yacht like a Mayfax truck cutters.

Nick them spices, I'm always in the mix on top.

So what I'm here is blaming.

He like this keeps on doing that dance.

Fine shit, I like fine shit around me too.

Rich bitch, really living life without no rules.

Nup, nuk, no nigga.

Ever was able to tell me what I can't do.

Nah, big spice, ain't never worried about how another hoe move.

I like the video too.

The video, like the old WWF logo, they put in there in the ring.

I thought it was dope.

Ice, yeah.

Two ladies coming together that had issues.

They came in there.

It was great.

Yeah, I like that.

Yo, Mark.

Yo, relax, bro.

Yo, nah, this shit was great.

This shit was heavy.

I was like, oh, shit.

She looked like a bunch of money.

Yo, look at Mark's

She was hanging, huh?

Nutty buddies.

Wait, hold up, though.

She had a fat ass, yo.

No, wait, stop.

She had a fat ass.

But we expect that from you.

Mark about the bust.

And them ain't the jeans that got hot.

Oh, man.

Nah, but I saw a lot of people picking up the video.

They both look great.

They did.

They both put beef to the side, even though I did enjoy lotto bringing like 20 suburbans to ice spice block.

I like dead in the beef and I like the song, yeah, yeah, I like the song,

I do.

I'm not mad at this.

Shout out to Squashing Beef, I ain't mad at it.

Now, this ain't better, this to me is not better than WAP,

no, no,

but it's whoppish.

It's whop light.

When WAP was out, WAP went crazy,

I went crazy

when WAP was out.

everybody was faithful when WAP was out?

Yes, yes.

What?

Extra.

Even more so.

Me too.

Me too.

Boy.

Me too, y'all.

Thank God.

What's faithful to you?

But was it tough?

Was it tough?

What's faithful to you, guys?

What's faithful to you?

I didn't told you.

Your definition.

It depends on your glasses, too, your shades, nigga.

What's faithful to you, guys?

You want to joke with me like that?

No, because that's the thing.

I think this is why.

I do.

You think I can go all the way?

It's just why.

I do, and I want you to all the way.

I'm down.

No, no, no.

I'm down.

You're down all the way.

I'm shooting right back.

Don't add my shit out.

And if you do, I'm going to do it on the block.

I'm going to do it the other way.

See, my girl even hears y'all talk like that, and she's thinking something, but I'm so fake.

Nah, it's not.

I don't.

So, you saying.

I'm talking about during WAP.

I'm not talking about.

I know you fake.

I'm talking about during WAP.

When WAP was out.

You see, old man over there?

It's watching the video.

When WAP was out.

Oh, WAM.

Oh, wham.

I tried to told you, man, that shit crap.

Now you see why I was just saying.

I see why you drank so much coffee.

Come up there there and talk.

What?

Pull the video out.

WAP was out.

If y'all was single, y'all would pipe both of them, is what y'all saying.

No, they're too young.

Good answer.

But not young enough to make your leg keep doing

like this.

Why would you watch videos?

Your leg keeps.

When you hit 50, you can't even control it.

You can't control it.

Throat was stupid, baby.

I don't remember what I was saying.

I was saying something of substance.

Oh, when WAP was out, Throat Baby was out, too.

Yes, substance.

Let me just remind y'all.

Throat Baby was that shit, though.

WAP and Throat Baby was out at the same time.

Oh, they got Janae from Love Island in the video.

Okay.

Yeah, I need some coffee.

I need some poppy.

Yeah, Lord.

Just a little bit.

Hell y'all.

A lot of love on the island.

It's a nice video.

It is.

Sure.

Is there any more new music?

I think we've glazed enough on the ice vice and lotto record.

Jesus.

It's a good record.

We're probably corny old niggas up here.

Listen, we just appreciate good

filmography.

When Wap was out, bitches was in there.

Nigga will not let Wap go, yeah.

Let that Wap go.

Vinches was in there.

When Wap was out.

That's when motherfuckers was sexually liberated.

I ain't gonna lie.

That's like when the slut walk was bopping.

I bet 21 Savage due to Slut Walk.

Niggas let that go.

That's crazy, dude.

We don't talk about that.

You let it slide.

Nah, we don't talk about that.

It had a sign that said, I'm a slut walk.

21 Savage did do the slut walk.

Yeah.

Nah, yo.

That's what happened when you got that shit.

Hey, yeah.

Yeah.

You got that WAP.

I thought I saw it at the party.

Nigga, I told you.

Nigga, I said, oh, shit.

I assumed that.

Let me see.

I forgot he did the slut walk.

I ain't mad at him.

Hell no.

I ain't mad at him.

She got it like that.

I go to Starbucks with mine sometimes.

I don't be wanting to go.

What's wrong with you, y'all?

Where y'all go with y'all girl that y'all don't really be wanting to go?

Supermarket.

This nigga, it's crazy.

You know, it's early, right?

Yo.

It's early.

Yo.

All right.

Any more new music?

I'm Just kidding, baby.

I love you.

I'm done with the

girl.

All right.

He's learning fast.

Holy shit.

No, I didn't.

Oh, Miguel.

We got the Miguel record.

Did you hear it?

Yeah, Miguel dropped.

Yeah, I like it.

I think it was pretty good.

I like it.

Should we play something or?

Yeah, play a little bit.

Even though it gets greater later.

It does.

It's not a right off the bat kind of.

It's a slow burn.

You need to hear the whole thing to appreciate his beauty type of thing.

Yeah.

It's a real good record, though.

This is always time, Miguel.

Let's go, Miguel.

Being back

broken glass,

piercing words.

It changed so fast,

yet hurts.

Rocky paths, lessons learned.

Don't say it's too late.

I thought there was always time

when you loved this heart

And you try this

hard

But it's still not enough

Maybe this time

Let it go

It's a slow burn record.

It's not like the it comes

immediate impact type of record

However, I bet you that when Miguel drops his album, that record is either before, this one right here is either before or after something that bangs.

Yeah, yeah.

That's what this gives me.

Like, you'll appreciate it more in the sequence of the, in the flow of the album.

Oh, I'm that guy now.

Yeah, yeah,

I'm that guy.

Shooting a lot of bells.

Yo, this podcast is responsible for.

This podcast is responsible for, you can cut that off parcel.

Gotcha.

This podcast is responsible for a lot of

bullshit jargon being attached to how we describe albums.

Yeah.

It is.

We started a lot of cohesive.

Cohesive.

That's an old one.

I feel like Sonically was us.

Sonically was us.

Not for me.

Not for me.

Yeah.

We started a few of them, I think.

Yeah, sequencing.

No one gave a fuck about no sequencing.

Oh, please.

Not at all.

I never heard that before.

Never heard that before.

Let's see.

What else is in music?

What else is in music?

Anything, anything, anything?

Where's my phone?

Oh, we got the Leon Thomas remix with Money Long, and this one I bought.

Let's see.

You're going to replace it until it'll be a little bit more.

You ain't buying Miguel.

You play it.

You play it.

No.

I'm going to buy Miguel with it when it comes out for real.

Because I was about to clown it.

Like I just said, when I first cut it on, I was like, huh?

And by the time I got to the end of it, that's a great record.

I appreciated it.

It's a nice record.

It is.

I appreciate your music.

opinion.

No, listen to that.

I'm serious.

But that shit, well, I just heard it.

You don't like it.

That's because you got your camos on.

That's why.

That's because you got Uncle Volkswagen.

That's what I got.

You and that young nigga shit.

You and that gak shit.

Ain't nothing else.

The record is a little more like alternative, which is not.

That shit sounds like it's on the soundtrack to fucking

werewolf movies?

Twilight.

Twilight, man.

That shit is on the Twilight soundtrack.

And you went in your drawer and found the socks that go with the ups.

It's no socks.

He ain't got no socks on.

Nah, he's got the one.

No, he got

hidden.

It's just not a no-socks.

He's an old nigga.

You got socks on.

You got the rule of anger.

Do you have socks on?

No, no.

Oh,

we in his bag.

Nigga saw.

Wait, all right.

All right, bet.

Say this.

We out.

Yo, what's wrong?

Y'all

couldn't remember, yo.

When you started not wearing up socks, nigga, I'm 49 and I'm from the hood.

We don't wear socks in the summertime like that.

That new long sock crew socks.

We gone.

We gone.

I'm from New Jersey.

I ain't doing that.

Am I lying?

He got his ass shaved.

We out.

We out real hood.

We hit the streets.

All right.

What else?

What else?

Leon Thomas?

Yeah, Leon Thomas.

When I'm talking to you, I don't know what to say.

But I can call up stranger and talk my whole life away.

Turn down.

Milwaukee Margaret.

Nothing different in the first verse.

Like, the song is the song and one of my favorite songs off his album A

Stillfire

now.

You gotta play it

up, turn it off.

This shit is hard.

But But Money Long is on the second verse of this.

Come on, let's get to the second verse.

I love her.

Now you're coming for my commas through my little baby mama.

Telling Telling people that I'm crazy.

When you left me with a baby, finally speaking up for myself, almost said I'm losing my ball.

Claiming I'm keeping you from your seat.

It's not like I had a choice.

I was winning when you met me.

But did you forget?

No congrats on the Grammy.

Not even pretend.

Shot the springs with my money.

But now I'm with my groupies.

The stress of it all is killing me.

Soft.

I really think you're trying to do me.

And I understand

that everything that I say can

will be used against me.

All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.

That shit.

They're cooking.

Yeah, they're cooking.

They're cooking.

Some more standard RB for you.

That's a bad thing.

Leon Thomas, Money Long, both friends of the show.

Yeah, for sure.

And Marshall.

And Marshall,

another friend of the show.

Leon Thomas reminds me.

It's funny that she started that second verse like that.

He so reminds me of a modern-day music soul child.

Okay.

Yeah, I can get it.

I can't see it.

But a better vocalist.

Oh, hey.

I think he's a better vocalist.

And I love music so much.

I'm with you.

I think he's

a better vocalist.

I'm with that.

I don't know if that's true.

I agree with Mark.

I don't know if that's true.

I can't say that.

Might be a preference thing.

I mean, the last few times you've heard Music Sold Child vocally, maybe it wasn't the best, but Prime Music Sold Child's voice, I don't know about that.

That's y'all back.

Am I saying something that's like far-fetched out of his world or something?

No.

No.

Nah.

I got nothing but love to be.

And I've seen Leon live.

He's off the charts.

Yeah.

He's off the charts.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm saying, like, Dwayne Wade is one of my favorite players.

Kobe's is a better basketball player.

Oh, okay.

That's what I'm saying.

It's not a diss.

Yeah, yeah, no.

I love music soldier.

I've known him my whole life.

I love music.

He's just.

Yo, you're a Philly card?

Nah, this one.

I think this is a different card.

Yeah, that's that other one.

That's another one.

Oh, it's both of them.

It's both of the the cards.

It's both of them.

Wait, I don't know what card we're talking about now.

Coke card.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Okay.

They're building a case against Mark online.

They say you got a lot of anti-black takes when it comes to like music.

What?

They say anything online.

Yeah, anti-black, because I think Leon Thomas, Leon Thomas is a better vocalist.

That's got shit that this is not one of those.

This was one of those.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever had an anti-black take.

He'd be actually on that.

I don't say my anti-black takes in public.

I don't never talk about quarterbacks.

Yo.

I never said a word.

I think where he fell on Shador was one.

Of course, LeBrony was one.

See, that's not an anti-black take.

I'm just saying what they said.

I don't think that.

Yeah, I know you don't.

So we clear.

Yeah.

You know what it is?

If you don't agree with people, they don't actually listen to what you say.

Like, they think I don't like Shador because I said his first preseason game shouldn't be the determinant of whether he proved the people wrong.

I said, let's wait to

two games.

You hate Shador.

You hate Angel Reese.

You hate Thomas.

I was like, no, I don't hate nobody.

And the other games were not the greatest.

But see if I had been petty in mid-to-game two, where he got molly-whopped, you know, but I'm not going to blame him.

Oh, that would have been anti-black.

Right, exactly.

So

like Chappelle said, I did him a favor by not saying anything.

Is there anything else in music that we need to hit?

I do want to mention that I like that Cardi's using the court pictures for physicals.

Like alternate covers for the for the physicals.

I think that's hilarious

Don't start your shit, yo

When WAP was out

when WAP was out

Different time in the world

I guess my question for you Parks is

And I don't want to sound too conspiracy theory-ish.

My question to you is Chicken of the Egg.

Do you believe that these court proceedings were in fact authentic court proceedings?

Chicken of the egg.

I see what you're saying.

Yeah, I think they were authentic, but I think that she intentionally may have laid on some

sauce in terms of how she looked and how she acted up there, knowing that she could maybe use this for something.

But I do also think that that's genuinely her, so

I don't know.

I'm a little conflicted.

He's saying that,

especially I'm assuming the coverage, the photos, the video,

it's a little rare to get like video and photo footage from a it was a hearing wasn't it mm-hmm it's a that's that's a little that's a little

different

but you don't think it was like a fake proceeding

I think the proceeding was real I think that the coverage the the media involved in the in the uh coverage of it may have been extra but Cardi's must see TV

so you don't know what she is or is not going to do for sure but it's been a bunch of media outlet it's been a bunch of court cases involving Cardi we haven't seen footage and photography and

album covers come out of it.

Either way, I think it's brilliant, by the way.

I think that shit.

I think that's good.

I think that's good marketing regardless.

She's going to hit that number.

I told you she was going to hit.

I'm going to read this ransom tweet from a few days ago just because I absolutely love it.

That's a great tweet.

Cool.

That tweet.

Ransom says, and I quote,

scripted court cases, high-profile breakups, gun charges, controversial social media rants, et cetera, to sell you an album instead of good music should tell you what, quote-unquote, they think of you as a consumer.

For sure.

And not to wake up my woke side.

Wake it up.

I agree.

I agree on the other side.

This may be a real court.

proceeding.

I don't think it's being handled that way from the label side.

The label side is like,

in real life, this is inconsequential.

There's nothing that's going to come from this.

Let's get the press.

Let's get the looks.

Let's just be in the newspaper.

Capitalize on it.

Let's say something funny.

So, I mean,

I'm at like believe none of what you see,

not even half of what you hear anymore.

I think that's where we are with fucking life in general.

And I think it's intentional.

I think between the screams of fake news to now the AI and the

proliferation proliferation of that.

Pardon me, I can't speak today.

I think it's all designed to keep us fucking guessing about what's real and what's fake.

Did you see her

pregnancy unreveal?

I did not.

After she won

her court proceedings, she did a video where she's removing like extra layers from her almost to say that, hey, I was

pretending to be pregnant.

Don't get all quiet and stupid on me.

No, no, no, it ain't even in that.

Don't leave me on the ledge by myself.

That was flabbergasted, I think.

I think that was genuine flabbergast.

All right, we could be a room full of niggas and talk about it.

I feel like y'all feel.

Regarding the ransom tweet.

Oh, shit, he went back to the ransom tweet.

I ain't speaking on.

Oh, shit.

Regarding the ransom tweet, I agree to a certain extent because I think that once once you generate a certain dollar amount, then it's not just music at that point.

I think it's the music business at that point.

And we've seen what the music business does to generate revenue.

So I'm not mad at them if they had camera crews out there.

I'm not mad at any of that shit.

Any press is good press.

She got an album coming out.

She just beat her hearing trial, whatever the case may be.

We're going to market that shit as we see fit.

I'm not mad at that.

And he also implied that it's not good music.

Pardon me.

That's all I'm going to say.

And that's not a given.

We haven't heard the project yet.

We've heard enough.

Well, not enough.

We've heard

what they wanted us to hear from the project.

It ain't been good music.

And

he's not saying that.

But

he's not saying good music doesn't exist.

No, he's saying that.

He's saying

you're not leaning on the music.

You're not using the music to sell your project.

You're doing everything else.

It's all antics now.

Not many people are using music to sell music.

Because music don't sell that one.

and that's my point.

That's not true.

That's not true.

That's not true.

The times is different, bro.

It's super.

The times are different, and that's not true.

The ones that

aren't.

The ones that are getting ahead, hold on.

The ones that are getting ahead, the ones that are getting the most recognition are getting recognition based off of the antics, period.

All that fake pregnancy shit, all that shit.

That's what I'm seeing.

Dog, tell me what good music is selling.

Just off the music alone.

What good

music is that Cardi D.

That was not off the music alone.

Well, you said no rollout, no promote.

I mean,

that's not clear.

Where the music is the forefront.

The actual music.

Nah, the clips put the music.

That's what I'm saying.

The clips put the music in the forefront.

The clips put the music in the forefront.

We disagree.

No, they roll out.

Then what was at the forefront?

Yeah, I disagree.

Film.

The fact that this is the top album in 20 years.

I hate to break it to you.

That's wrong.

If that music wasn't that music, nobody gave me a fucking music.

Nobody gave a fuck.

Nobody gave a fuck like that.

If they wasn't everywhere, people wouldn't even have heard the music is my point.

But that don't matter.

But they still was everywhere leaning on they had music to back up being everywhere no they no not back it up they did back it up they leaned on it i don't want to conflate i don't want to conflate all marketing with what we're talking about

we're talking about antiquity we're talking about all uh marketing zero music good music to lean on.

Yes, right.

That's what we're talking about.

Cardi got a court case popping and she gave us imaginary players.

Which I think is a decent record.

So I don't want to.

Get us outside.

That got SummerSlam.

They've done a bunch of other shit that was not just music.

Not to lean on.

That shit came in a flash.

A flash in the pan.

Nobody's been leaning on the music.

That's what I'm saying about it.

So I asked.

You're not leaning on the music.

Tell us about it.

Freddie Gibbs has been leaning on music.

Yes.

But if you want me to go bigger than that, shit, Drake is somewhat leaning on music.

No, he's not.

No, he's not.

No, he is not.

Oh, I disagree.

He just did an hour and a half long stream.

You know what Drake is leaning on?

Y'all are waiting for me to respond to the bullshit.

Oh, he's not going to respond to the bullshit.

But they're all at red button.

They still teasing red button shit.

I don't know.

That's not my business.

But I know that somebody somewhere is.

But when he gets however many people together to centralize in one place, music comes on.

Yes.

Music.

How do I get y'all here?

How do I get y'all here?

I got y'all thinking it's going to be this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm tricking you niggas.

No, you look over here.

Look over here.

I disagree with that.

I disagree.

I disagree with that.

You said

at the beginning of this episode, you said that

the thought was this was going to be an album, which is music.

It's not, this is going to be a disrecord.

No, but yes, but they're also anticipating

some level of a response on his album.

That's been teased.

But people are fuck the response.

People want to hear Drake music, period.

Whether it be, like I said, to hate on it, to love it, he's at that point.

He could put out bad music and people are going to rush.

I don't want us to deviate from what we talk about.

Chris Brown leans on music.

Absolutely.

You're talking about rappers, Joe.

You was talking about rappers.

But that might be the problem.

I'm talking about

artists that lean on music, not necessarily just rappers.

It's an issue that less rappers are doing it, but I think less rappers are rapping.

Rap,

rap got a whole different issue that they got to address at some point, and this is part of it.

Agree.

But

just for musicians as a whole.

A lot of people are letting the music speak for themselves

when it comes to to to r b and other genres of music i'm talking about rap and especially once you get to a certain point you're talking about like elite rappers and when you get to a certain point in success okay what did kendrick lean on

music that's not true i'm asking if y'all think that kendrick lamar did not benefit from this drafe beef whoa they didn't say that they didn't say that nobody said that he leaned on music 100 okay he didn't say nothing else but music it's all music he didn't do shit else it was about outside of that one interview that they did he did not do a thing but drop music.

Right.

He didn't lean on music.

Even his responses came in music.

That's right.

His beef and drink was a musical beef.

Right.

I didn't write on you.

There was no Instagram post.

There was none.

It was no writing on the black side.

They didn't lean on

nothing but music.

Music.

Correct.

I got it.

You're speaking

anomalies.

There's a bunch of people who are gibbs.

I mean, I think a lot of people are just leaning on their music.

Yeah, but that's what we're talking about.

But at the center of our conversation was, can you find success leaning leaning on leaning on music?

Y'all are talking about people.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

Success is relative there.

Well, Kendrick, again, probably

the most successful rapper in the last year or two.

By far.

Leaning on all music.

Yeah, success ain't relative in this one.

But I disagree with you.

You don't think he's leaning on music.

What I don't love about this argument is that

I feel like we're putting too much on Cardi in that I don't necessarily look at her as like a pure musician to begin with.

True.

That's a great point.

That's a great point.

You know what I mean?

Like, that's a great point.

We're castrating her, you know, for fucking doing what she does.

She's a social media star that used music to advance that.

That's true.

I agree with Part.

So, why are we judging all rappers by what Cardi does?

I agree.

And those rappers don't generate the revenue that Cardi does.

So other shit comes into play with that.

Facts.

That's just a fact.

I know we're about two weeks from this album.

I'm still feeling good about my prediction.

What was your prediction again?

I think she's doing two.

I think she'll do two.

Two.

250.

She wanted to do two and a quarter.

Yeah, I said between two and 250.

Two and 250.

And y'all said I was crazy at the time.

Not me.

I agree with that.

I'm going to rewind you.

Well, no, mine wasn't far from you.

I said between 150 and 180.

I think pure speculation and star power will get her to two.

I'm going to rewind your.

I think whatever she's doing with Apple will get her to two.

I feel like there's going to be more antics and shit, too, between now.

Before now, and then which is why I said she's gonna get to two to 250 because people were saying, like, oh, it's gonna be with one, 150.

They were comparing her to, you know, what Clips did and all the people.

I'm like, she's gonna do, or even what Drake did last, it's gonna be a fucking Sabrina Carpenter song or some shit on there.

Some shit like that, where it's like, oh, we're not even talking crazy conversations.

You know what I mean?

Like, you could fly up with a Sabrina Carpenter song.

You could.

You could.

You absolutely could.

And then it looks different.

Oh, sure.

Then you reached.

Yeah, you reached for the fly.

Yeah, for sure.

Right.

It could happen.

We'll see.

Like I said,

we're not far from it.

I'm not sure that anybody from her camp or the labels camp gives a fuck about longevity or quality of music.

As long as they get an amazing first week and a return on their product, I don't know if they give a fuck.

Man, put WAP on the album.

I think it is.

It is on the album.

They said it's going to be on the album.

Boss Man D-Lo.

I can't name

a bunch of people that had a bigger year than him last year leaned on the music.

Okay.

I could give a bunch of examples on people that you barely heard a word from.

Big X.

big x the plug

yeah right you got it

one of my favorite little strip club what's my name fucking big boogs or some i still don't know nothing about that

all i know is anytime i go outside he keep one for you out there

and they gonna play it it's music yeah don't let don't let the music industry fool you into thinking that music is even less valuable than what they're trying to make it it's a trick

don't let let the music industry confuse you to think that everybody in it is fucking musicians.

Yeah.

Like,

they're not.

And everybody's different, too.

That has historically been the case.

There was like the monkeys and shit back in the 60s that were like fucking pop TV stars or whatever that put out albums.

It's always been the case.

Hey, with the monkeys.

Yeah, like these things have existed since the beginning of TOA.

I like them.

California Racers.

California, yeah.

I like them too.

Fuck the mugs,

yo.

I like like most of the people that the music industry puts out that's not musicians, too.

I like them.

They normally are the ones with the best writing camp, the best writing.

The best entertainment, the best market, the best everything.

I like a lot of that shit.

Hey, that's what lets me know.

I mean,

that led to my

revelation

and learning that most of y'all did like Return of the Mac out there.

A lot of people

don't, bro.

A lot of people hate that.

I didn't even know so many people hated that record.

I didn't know that either.

They hate that recording.

They hate that shit.

I love that.

I didn't know that.

How could you hate returns?

It's a polarizing song because people either love it or fucking hate it.

I don't understand how do people hate it.

What about this is how we do it.

How do we feel?

Yeah, they hate it.

I didn't know that either.

They hate that one too.

You really cut your own face?

Yeah, they're listening to me.

I like this two songs.

Wow.

This is how we do it.

I actually liked it until white people got a hold of it, until like mainstream pop got a hold of it.

So you liked it for a week?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, I don't hate the song.

I don't hate the song.

I hate that 20 years later, when I go certain places, I hear it.

No, yes, he's absolutely right.

I was just having this talk with somebody about trying to figure out my New Year's Eve plans this year.

And

if we're going to do Out the Country again, okay.

And anytime that I ended up Out the Country at the wrong timeshare,

this is how we do it.

OH HP.

They take some of my favorite songs and turn it, just whitewash it into oblivion.

And that's when I started.

Do they do like another version of it?

No, they don't.

But I mean, it's a pop song that went crazy.

You're going to hear Wayne Wonder.

I've seen

a piece of chicken on the floor and like you wash it off to get the shit off and still try to eat it and still taste the same.

I never did that.

How long was that on the culture?

More than five seconds.

Oh, all right.

I'm saying, hold up.

Washing.

Nigga, ain't washed.

OPP sound different at the Cabo time share with all the white people than it did on Farmers Boulevard.

I've seen the same shit happen, though, where a group of like

black people who are not really into rock will play the certain rock songs that you just think are those records.

Those are the songs that they think are just

songs.

Yeah, that's a great point.

And if white people will be like, I don't like that no more, I'm good with it.

They don't fuck with it no more because we like it.

I'm good with that.

Wait, and

let me rebut your point.

There's no dance floor in the world where adding a bunch of black people to it ruined the song.

I'm not saying ruined.

That's a fact.

That didn't happen.

Yo,

what we're saying is, from my perspective, all of them white people dance the OPP.

It hits different.

Now you don't like the song no more, though.

They don't have the same hit, dog.

They might look at us on Teen Spirit and be like, this is some shit.

There's some dude that looks like Drew Ski in the skit when the country slap come on and the square dance ain't squared to the point they wanted to.

That's possible, yo.

I'm making some shit.

I think it should work the other way around,

I don't think Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of them.

It's one of what?

It's one of them where, like you're saying, it worked the other way around.

I just don't see that.

I don't think white people will see us moving to it Smells Like Teen Spirit and be like, oh, you're ruining it.

No, well, I think that the way that we all

is crazy.

I think humanity dances to Journey the same way.

Yeah, yeah, there's some records that exceed that.

That transcend that.

Journey.

Some of that Bon Joey.

Spirit, Bon Jovi.

That's crazy.

That Joe is crazy.

But you get some like

some nuance shit.

It might be different.

Some country shit.

What we're going to do to teen spirit versus what them white people going off beat, getting poked by pins.

Oh, no, you jump on dance.

White people jump and push on beat.

That's a fact.

Nah, you know, record.

All right, I got.

Here's one.

Here's one that I might choose the whites on the dance floor.

You crazy.

around.

Jump around.

Yeah.

Jump around.

We can't fuck with them with that.

House of people.

We don't jump around.

As bad as we jump.

When it comes to dancing, we jump around.

That's your shit.

You got that one.

When jump around, come on.

Move.

Move.

Let them have it.

You better only get this far off the floor.

No, y'all got it.

Nah, that's they move, bitch.

Get out of the way.

You better not be around no white person when jump around, come on.

Oh, man.

Yo, you stupid.

Oh, God, that's they shit.

They got it.

That's like a little jump.

Yes.

Is that our shit, though?

Is that our shit?

Yes.

Yes.

I think that's middle of the road.

I don't know.

Jump around.

We love jumping around too.

I know.

I think it's middle of the road.

Yeah, that might be a bad thing.

I don't know.

That's a jump ball.

Yeah.

You think they might love him more than us?

That's bird and magic.

I think they do love it more than us.

That's bird of magic, yo.

I don't know.

I think they love him more than us.

No bullshit.

Everlast got him up.

Timeless.

Do they play it at the Boston arena?

Yes, they do.

They do.

That's their main anthem.

Fuck you, that's hip-hop.

That's their national anthem.

Watch it.

Jump around is their hip-hop record.

What?

Yeah, that might be their hip.

I don't know if that's ours, but they don't know four bars from that record.

You crazy.

Shit.

You are crazy.

Jump around?

The white girls know the bars.

Yeah, they know the person.

She pack it up.

Pack it up.

The white people know his song.

Are you crazy?

Shut up, come around the whole crew about.

Get up, stand up, come up, throw your hands up.

If you got that feeling, jump up.

They know it, nigga.

They know it.

You crazy.

They definitely do.

Heineken in the end, too.

Hey, black people,

y'all better move by the time it gets.

I came to get down.

I came to get down.

You're about to get on your ass.

All right, it's time for my favorite part of the show.

Prize picks.

All right, this episode is brought to you by prize picks you and i make decisions every day but on prize picks being right can get you paid so don't miss out on any of the excitement this season on prize picks where it's good to be right uh

thank god g spin fucking

sat the cowboys running back on the bench last night i did too whoa that was close

that was

that was boy that boy was about to go for three touchdowns yeah he had 20 20 points on that.

Thank the Lord.

All right, we had a football game two nights ago.

We had a football game last night.

We got a football game tomorrow.

We got football games tomorrow.

We are officially back.

How does it feel?

Let me eat a round of applause.

What?

It's the best time of the year, right?

Don't call me on those Sundays.

I already told Shorty, hey, yo, you're being ignored.

So just know.

Football and the fall.

New York fall.

We lit.

With my girl in the kitchen.

Get your ass in the kitchen while I watch this game, girl.

The fuck?

No, it feels good.

It's a good time.

Listen, prize picks is really easy and simple to play.

All you have to do is pick more or less on two to six player stat projections.

And if you get your picks right,

you could cash in.

And the Joe Budden Antoine picks of the week goes as follows.

Give us B.

John Robinson for more than

21 total receiving yards.

Give us Lamar Jackson for more than 46 rushing yards.

Give us Ashton Genty for more than 67 rushing yards.

And Austin Eckler for more than 49 rushing and receiving yards.

No.

If you download the app right this second and use promo code JBP, you get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup.

So good luck to all participants out there

and run your game.

How'd y'all feel about that game the other night?

It was great.

It was great.

The break until the thunder and lightning shit happened.

It was really great until Miles Sanders fumbled, but you know.

What about the ejection at the beginning of the game?

That was crazy.

It was crazy, too, because they didn't see the Dak spit first.

First.

Yeah, he did.

That's the only difference spitting on somebody.

For sure.

So what's the appropriate punishment for that?

I've hearing people say they want a suspension, not just the ejection, but they want a suspension.

They wanted to be suspicious.

I think it's best for the Eagles if he's suspended.

What did he do?

He's a young star player.

He's a young star player.

They're going to be in an important game later where they'll need him.

Yeah.

And they'll need him to know better than that.

Because this game, they won anyway.

But immediately after, he sounded remorseful, he sounded like somebody, he got a text.

He got a call from somebody.

Yo, that won't happen again.

Immature of me.

Yada yada.

He said all the right things.

Yeah, spit somebody's shit before, so this isn't his first rodeo.

Spit on somebody is just crazy to me.

That wouldn't even occur to me to do that in a sporting contest.

Yeah, you know better.

Yeah.

Is that the most disrespectful thing somebody could do to you?

Yes, yes.

Yes, pretty much.

Yeah, I can't think anything worse.

I was trying to last night trying to think anything worse.

And again, maybe he thought Dak was trying to spit on my shoe with a little bit of bail, but

you're not going to spit back.

You're over there.

If I spit this way and you're over there, you walk up to where we're face to face and you spit on my chest, it is a very big difference.

And I hate that people are trying to equate the two well dak spit first fam you over there and he is spit on him so yeah we talk about i don't think it bails him up completely i don't think this is no bailing is the most disrespectful thing but i think it's on the list with the most disrespectful thing yeah outside of getting crazy crazy i think it's up there It's included in physical violence.

That's assault.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's assault.

There are a few things that there are.

There are very few things that would make me just like punch somebody who didn't swing on me first.

But I think spitting on me was.

That's up there.

I think that'd be the one.

Yeah, that would be the one.

Well, I can't tell you how I'm gonna react until I speak to your doctor

if you as healthy as me, then

I'll be mad.

If you got some shit, or if you got some shit, then you just lit the beef for life.

The beef is on for life now.

Yeah,

niggas that know they got some shit and be in the hood doing the ooh, them niggas is nasty.

They are disgusting.

Last night I ended up watching, my girl's too into gossip.

Your girl, right?

Just her.

Right.

Short story, really, really, really short.

I'll try to finish this in 40 seconds, maybe, maybe 30 even.

She perusing the internet on her phone.

She started laughing hysterically at something and says, yo, apparently there's a show called For My Man

where

women, where women,

yo, she said, there's There's a show called For My Man, where women are in love with the guy and doing anything for him, and they end up in jail.

So, of course, I grabbed a remote.

You would love it.

I grabbed the Apple remote.

I go search.

So, on TV,

I go to Apple, I search For My Man.

They asked me if I want to download some app that I never even heard of before: Philo, Philo,

some shit.

I look at her, she says, I would do it.

I hit connect,

and I hit episode one on like season six

the young lady in the 90s went out to freaknick

with her friends with no money

she didn't have no food

no hotels and on and when they got there she got out the car and started twerking

naturally sounds about right The popping dope boy saw her.

Came, got her

little hotel.

Got Got some food.

Got her some food.

She thought they were dating then.

So she started flying out to see him even after Freak Nick for three years.

Then he tried to put her on the strip

to sell some pussy.

Right on Metro App.

He got run out.

He ran up his hat.

And now she's still in the dock.

She's still in the show, and she don't look like life was great even after the dude left.

She in the show looking like somebody who went to Freak Dick

with no money, no hotel,

no nothing, no, not a thing.

I can't say what it's anyway.

Did he put her on the strip?

He tried to get her the fuck.

She was already on a strip.

What the fuck are we talking about?

So apparently, that's grooming.

Yeah.

Wait, what?

That's grooming.

If you get out of a car,

you start popping that thing to get some things.

And then you get them things.

You get those things based on you.

Well, no,

that's assuming that you know why she's popping that thing.

She's popping that thing just because she felt like popping that thing.

Okay.

She got a dope boy.

Because her stomach was touching her back.

What the fuck are you talking about?

You can't date somebody for three years and then try to get them to sell a pussy.

You can't.

It's frowned upon.

It's a bad thing.

It's frowned upon.

It's frowned upon.

Look at y'all.

You can't do that.

Okay.

Have you said so?

I'm telling you.

Y'all are some savages.

No, we're not.

That newer couch is, they get nasty.

Nigga, it takes a lot of guts to ask that.

I don't even talk about that with the bitches I talk to that sound pussy.

It's like taboo.

So

why do you think they start selling pussy anyway?

Exactly.

You have to ask.

All right.

Business proposals.

Business programs.

I'm just saying.

She thinks she's dating you.

Y'all kicking it.

You going back and forth from city to city.

You pop out the car, dance one time, and then two months later, you go from being a boyfriend to her pimp.

Like, dog.

No.

No, I'm not saying that.

Hold on.

No, I'm saying that's how that shit be going.

Was she dating him pre-pop

that pussy?

No.

No.

No.

But popping that pussy is different than Break Bread or Fake Dead.

Like, it's a whole different game.

Not much.

What I'm saying is yo dog have you dating somebody for three years and you propose the

threesome

Some people feel like that's disrespectful.

I thought you were

sophisticated

If I've been flying you back and forth

Yo, I've been flying you back and forth for three years Shit ain't the same no more.

I'm down on my luck or you ran up a tab.

Yeah, no, you're down on my luck.

You riding or you riding?

You down with us or you down with you?

You can't ask a girl that you're down.

I'll pay some of that back myself.

You can't.

You're in the bread right now.

You can't ask yourself.

Yo, you on the team for real?

You can't, you can't ask her.

You're down with us.

And if you and your lady,

if you and your lady live together and y'all down on hard times and y'all sitting at that little kitchen nook and y'all having to come y'all pulling the mail out,

you still can't say it.

You gotta hope that she just

got to hope that she knows what time it is.

Damn, ain't no money coming.

Can't go nowhere right now, yo.

Hey, hey, hey, there's no hope.

Yo, you're in shape.

Yo, yo, you just start dropping.

Yo, they killing on OnlyFans over there, yo.

Bro, listen.

Now, don't say that.

She gets on there and start killing too much.

She's going there.

You're destroying it.

It's over.

It's over.

She don't need you no more.

Anyway,

this sounds like a great show.

It's still the recommendation.

For my man,

if you don't have nothing to do, me and my wife watch it when she was playing.

Let me ask you a question.

Did she sell a public attraction?

It's funny.

Did she go outside?

Old girl?

Yeah.

In the episode of the fire?

Yeah.

Yeah, but that's not right.

Right.

That don't prove your boyfriend.

Yo.

Yo, look at the man of spirit right now.

Look at what you trying to like the man of spirit on fire.

Bro, that is right.

Man of spirit is cut away cut away

she voluntarily went too bro listen how far you hey my last question on this how far you think you are from like man in spirit i don't know what that is yes you do oh

yes you do

every day for their family you lying ass nigga

it's ground zero speak to it huh niggas sell drugs every day for their family uh-huh commit crimes every single day to put food on the table for their family

So if I hit a lick and the connect is gone, guess what else got a connect?

You talking, nigga.

A day job.

It's always a possibility.

Right.

Electrician, man.

That's a good gift, man.

Y'all want to talk about Drewski and Whiteface?

Let's do it.

Yeah.

Kill them slip out because the whites are upset.

What were you going to get, Pierce?

Oh, yeah.

Because, right,

I didn't really pay much attention to it.

I saw Imani send it to our group chat.

Yeah.

He just told me how funny it was.

It was funny.

It was funny.

And then Pierce Moore gave me his morning, like, hey, can you come on Monday to talk about this?

Because is this racist?

Pierce, go away.

Right.

God damn it.

I know Mark don't want to say that.

That's his band.

Yeah.

And

it's a gig's gig.

Check clear.

Yo, depending on who the gorilla.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, he's going out tonight.

Hey, that boy outside tonight.

I don't want him to go outside now.

No, you need to sit your ass down now, my nigga.

Go home.

You need supervision, man.

Go home.

Bruh.

Come to the house, boy.

That's funny, son.

My man called me because my man.

No, you know my man.

No.

Come on.

Corey known.

Yo, that's gonna be a drinking game today.

Corey, do know.

My man owns an ASCAR team.

My man owns an NASCAR team.

Oh, shit.

You know that now shit.

This nigga's just ignorant.

You're a fucking legend.

You're an absolute legend.

Go on, go on.

My man.

You gotta be bumming your circle.

Yo, this man is always, you know, my man.

He's an astronaut, right?

Your man don't fuck with your little podcast gig.

Yo, no, but my man, he's the first black owner of a NASCAR team.

And he was like, yo, I couldn't have did that shit better myself.

Like, yo, this nigga is

spot on of how these motherfuckers act.

Yeah.

And he was like, yo, everybody's mad saying that

if it was the reverse and somebody dressed up in blackface, then we would have a problem.

Yes, because it's different.

It's a thousand percent different.

Yeah, that's why it was tough for me to even want to waste time on this.

Like, I don't feel like we're talking to the idiots that think it's the same, but

if we have to be responsible about it, Mark.

Yeah, well, yeah.

Tell us why it's not the same.

Why is it not the same?

Because there's a power imbalance.

There's a historical difference.

Blackface has a very particular meaning and a very particular power in the United States, which has been attached to Jim Crow's slavery, oppression, and reinforcing white supremacy.

Take that, man.

Yo, I fucking love that.

I love that.

Who wouldn't have done that?

You did that shit in 15 seconds.

Hey, man, you lucky my nigga over here talking about Adele and shit.

Nah, that shit was funny, though.

It was funny, man.

And whoever did that makeup was crazy.

That shit was funny.

And you know what?

I was like, watch it mix.

Yeah.

Actually, as much sense as y'all are making on this, let's put a pause to it.

Let's put a pause to y'all making sense.

To logic?

Because Theo Vaughn was mad.

And he said, and this is about the second or third time he done got mad at it.

And he said, hey, maybe it's time for me to go get the makeup and a jerry curl.

I just want to say,

do that shit.

Work.

Don't tweet it.

Just get to it.

Just go do it.

Hey.

Don't stop.

Just do it.

Oh, my God.

Hey, Theo Vaughn, please go get makeup.

Hey, dude, on the stream.

Now you should do it in a Chicago.

Get makeup in a Jerry Curl.

Do it in Detroit or Chicago.

Go to North.

Nah, with some watermelon.

Or some kids.

Go to the door.

Get it.

And some Popeyes.

Can you get fried chicken?

Right.

No.

Yo, I think, hey, Theo Vaughn, if you did that, that might be even funnier than what Drewski did, and I would love to see it, man.

Please, please, don't let

good sense and good sense having folks deter you from doing what needs to be done.

You're right.

If Drewski could do it.

The funny shit about the Druski shit is that he had people believing.

He was engaging with the real white people out there.

They thought he was real.

He said, I smoked a cigarette.

Barbara thought that.

He bodied that shit, though.

Oh, my God.

You know, this idea has been floated around.

I would love to see a Drew Ski sketch comedy show.

Yes, absolutely.

Yeah, for sure.

It's time, though.

It is time.

It's time.

He's too great at these shits.

I mean, he kind of does it with the YouTube channel, but like...

I could

like to see a real

production, I guess.

Although his shit is produced too, so you know.

His phone got to be blown up with

people saying that.

Yeah.

Gotta be.

That shit was really funny.

Shout out to Drewski.

Drewski's on theo vaughn.

Please, yo.

Sleep on this.

You're gonna be sleeping.

No, sleep on it, man.

Give it some thought.

Take it to your team.

Do that shit.

Makeup and a jerry curl and watermelon and chicken.

And Popeyes.

Yeah.

And chicken.

Fried chicken.

Yeah.

That'll do it.

Anyways,

what else needs our attention?

It's a couple things.

Come on, on, let's do it.

All right, come on.

I'm here.

I'm here today.

One of them I thought that was interesting, and I wanted to know y'all's take on it.

Sure.

Was the Sierra Future thing.

Or really, it's about Sierra and her child with Future.

TMZ made a big report of it yesterday, that while she was there with her children, I believe it the U.S.

Open, is that what it was?

Her son with Future now has the last name Wilson.

I saw.

The internet does what the internet does.

Some people are strongly in favor of it, saying if he's not a good father, he's not president, whatever, she should be able to change the name.

Others said that's the dad.

You know who the dad is, that is my dad.

Change, you know, don't ever change the name.

I'm not saying future is not a good father, I'm just saying that's the debate people are having.

I don't know nothing about futures life.

I'd love to hear where you fall.

I like when you bring these topics in because I get to hear your opinion.

Yeah, I mean, first, yeah, come on, Mark.

I've seen you use that strategy before.

We'll flip.

I think if the father is alive and around, unless some egregious shit has happened, I would not change the name.

Unless the father has denied paternity or fatherhood or just says, I don't want nothing to do with this kid, I probably wouldn't change the name.

I wouldn't.

You know what I mean?

That's some shit we all got to agree on.

I know she still has his name as like a middle name, kind of now, and then at Wilson at the end.

I just don't think it's necessary.

It wouldn't be a choice that I would make.

I wouldn't want somebody to make that choice for me.

But other people are like,

it's her right to do it.

And if he's not active and he doesn't want to be around, you can go do it.

I probably wouldn't do it even if he wasn't active, but that's just me.

What'd y'all think?

If you don't want to be around, don't worry about what they're doing with your kid.

I know it sounds fucked up, but.

But don't worry.

Niggas got, if you don't want to be around, don't worry about it.

Okay, but what if they want to be around?

Okay, now you have a, now there's an issue here then.

I'm talking about, I'm answering his point.

If somebody don't want to be in the picture, then

by all means.

But if he wants to be in the picture, no, you don't change his fucking name.

No matter what.

What if it's a, what if you just.

If he's trying to be in the picture, wants to be in the picture, trying to be a father, even if it ain't to the standards you want or whatever, that's his child.

I think that's the gray area.

I agree with everything you just said, but I think that's the gray people area for people.

Sarah did an interview a little while back, and they asked her what co-parenting was like, and she kind of laughed it off almost like, I don't get no help from him.

What's the line where they've sunk low enough as a parent or as a co-parent where you feel like you can change the name without the father's input?

Because that's the question.

Like, if you show up twice a year, do you change the name?

If you show up, you know, like you said, if it's not to your standard, but you're around, do you change it?

Like, how bad does it have to be for you to be like, fuck it?

I'm, you can't have his name no more

for me.

It got to be they out.

Completely out.

They got to be out.

Okay.

If they check out anything else,

no.

Okay.

They got to be out.

Got you.

Like, Anthony Edwards type out.

Got you.

That's, yeah, that's out.

You got to be at that level.

If we had Anthony Edwards' level, I'm all for it.

Anything else?

He never was an in-house.

Right.

For me, you could change the name.

You can't change the blood.

Nah, that's still my name.

No, no, I'm agreeing with that.

But I'm just saying, for the mothers that feel like they can take it upon themselves and make this decision, no matter how the dad feels,

for me, that kid grows up, that kid has my blood, features, my DNA, my genes.

You can name this little motherfucker whatever you want.

At some point, my likeness is going to come up in that house.

And you should familiarize yourself with it, even aspects that you

aren't so fond of, so you can know how to deal with it.

And the best way for you to know how to deal with it is through

real dad.

And then if that's not an option, then stepdad.

Not just that, yo, you got to think about it.

These are celebrities.

So all of this stuff is documented in the internet universe.

This child is going to know who my dad is, read some of the

discourse

and dialogue that is taking place

and come up with some semblance of the truth, right?

I just think it's up to the two parents to allow this kid the ability to navigate.

But

the other side of that is the kids know who they're and who ain't there.

Let's say.

By the way, Sierra has full custody.

We don't know the level of parenting that future does with this kid, and that's very important to know.

You said, What?

I ain't here.

You're sad.

I said, We don't know the level of parenting that future does with this kid.

I think that is very important to know in this conversation, but we don't.

So we're speculating.

We're speculating.

Yeah.

Kids know who they're and who's not there, though.

That kids are going to come in the house like this.

Kids don't always know the reason why.

she holly parrot what you gonna do then who you gonna have you gave a little pretty last name that nigga can't is in the upstairs drunk

rapids march madness

now now what

ain't no name gonna help

I think the name change shit is more so

because like you said the features all of of that shit is still going to come out.

You can't do nothing about that.

But now, you basically cutting off lineage at that point.

Because again, my name, like,

you just ended that and made him somebody else's kid.

Let me ask you a question.

How would the world know that she's doing this?

So apparently,

apparently it sounds like she did it a few years ago, but because she was at the U.S.

Open and they put the kids' names in the print, his name was listed there as the last name.

So she didn't like announce it.

Okay, it's been happening for a few years.

So they're just saying the context matters.

It wasn't like a stunt.

So did she do it or is she planning on doing it?

My understanding, again, we don't have all the information because she's not speaking on it directly, is that it's been done.

And so it's like Zahir or whatever Futures' last name is, then Wilson.

Oh, two last names.

Sort of, yeah.

Yeah.

But they're not hyphenated or anything like that.

So, but Wilson is the last last name.

Nigga, you know, we're going to stand for that.

That's it.

But I mean, it's tough, though.

I mean, again, like, if I see, I'm not saying this is a future skin.

I'm just using an example.

If I see you once a year.

So what?

I'm still around.

The kid is still familiar with who I am.

That's a low bar, man.

I wouldn't do it, but I ain't that mad about it if you come around once a year.

And on top of that, like, even when it comes to getting passports, nigga, you still, I say that to say, you still need the parent permission.

Yeah.

Both signatures are going to be a significant thing.

They circumvent that.

I didn't know about that.

I know that you still need it, even if the father's not around.

So I say that to say that it still should be some level of respect.

How would y'all feel as a man man

putting your last name on somebody that's not yours?

Or a kid that's not yours?

If I spent 364 days a year with him, I'd feel great.

Yeah.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing that.

I'd feel great.

I don't know that I would.

I don't know that I would.

I don't know that I would know about that.

If there's no relationship.

The relationship is not

all it's about to me.

I'll tell you why it's not.

And it's bigger than that.

The relationship shit don't be as cut and dry as the world make it seem.

But here's the problem.

I agree with that too.

But here's the thing.

Particularly if you have multiple kids, right?

So if I have three biological biological kids and one stepkid, and I'm the one raising this other person,

this is his unit.

Your father doesn't come around.

It's like some Will Smith on fresh print shit, right?

At some point, I want you to feel like part of this fully.

And so part of the last name thing is more so that you don't always look like the outsider when we go to school, when we register for things that you got.

You see what I'm saying?

So I'm just saying there isn't that much.

But sometimes that falls.

That gets embarrassing.

It does embarrass me.

No, no, no, sometimes that falls with the person, with the parent.

Not the kid.

The kid don't usually care about that.

That may fall with the parent.

It depends on what class level you're at.

In the hood, it don't matter because we all got different names.

But if you at one of these private fancy schools that they at and everybody's a Wilson and you're an Akbar, that shit might fuck you up.

I'm just picking a random name.

It depends.

Like one of my homegirls,

her daughter's got different last names.

And she said one day the teacher...

She had left something in the class and the teacher was chasing her out.

And the lady was yelling.

I don't want to to say the name, but let's just say the daughter's last name is Johnson and her last name is Smith.

And they like, Miss Johnson, Miss Johnson.

And she like, yo, I'm just walking, I'm walking.

And I just hear them saying another name.

And she said, by the time I turned around, I realized she was calling me.

She said, yo, that's not my last name.

I was totally embarrassed.

As the parent, she was embarrassed.

You get what I'm saying?

That your daughter's got different last names and they go to this school.

And it's, it's.

Damn, yo, you was embarrassed.

That had to be hard.

It had to be tougher than the other option, which would be not being on Earth.

Yo, man, wow, yo, yo, man, some tough feelings.

That's got to be tougher than never fucking seeing the planet.

Yo, what are y'all talking about?

Yo, if I'm dead, I wouldn't give a f.

Man, let me shut up before I say I'm toxic.

I see it from both angles.

Not changing all of that.

That's all I'm saying.

I can understand why somebody would feel this way.

I can see it.

But again, I think my only frustration is is that some of these dudes that don't come around to take care of their kids, that don't come around to show up for parties, don't show around for parent teacher night, don't show up for nothing else, when they find out a name got changed or somebody took a photo or went to a daddy-daughter dance, they lose their fucking mind.

Then they want to show up and get lawyers and do all it's like you only show up for that disrespect, but you don't show up for none of this shit.

Like, you're not embarrassed to not take care of your kids.

I still think that's their right.

I still think that's their right.

I came up with a blended family.

Yo, y'all be y'all be so one-sided when it comes to this shit, and we can't say it publicly.

Because if that's the case, if that is the case,

say it.

No, I'm cool.

What are you talking about?

We have to stop it.

Pardon me, pardon me.

It's a big build-up that you do.

So we are waiting for you to do that.

Yo, darling,

so the woman has all of these rights, right, with regards to the child, and the man has zero.

How so?

I think he's asking that.

The man has zero.

Is this a hypothetical or you just...

No, it's a literal, hypothetical, however you want to take it y'all speak on y'all experiences oftentimes which are very very limited in the broad scheme of things a lot of people are going through shit outside when it comes to co-parenting or rights of a dad or a mom that don't go with y'all societal norms and how shit is y'all be talking this shit that niggas didn't experience and that shit be fake for a lot of men out here and a lot of women out here so

what you mean yes women yo the woman don't gotta give you your name period nigga they don't have to give you you don't control that.

No, you don't.

You don't control none of that.

They don't gotta give you the last name at all.

That's a cool baby mom that gives you the last name.

She's doing you a solid from that, from the rip.

She decides to change it, nigga, you don't have no say if she changes it.

But is that why?

Yes, it is.

Because you can't financially abuse everybody out here in these streets.

And so the point that I'm saying is y'all want men sometimes to not have say-so

when it comes to certain shit.

But when a man stands on the other side, side, it's shut up, nigga, this is your kid.

Yeah, but that's not what I'm saying.

That's not what I just said.

What I said, when it comes to money and other shit, shut up, nigga, that's your kid.

So that it should be shut up.

But that's my kid when it comes to certain decisions.

But I want you to hear what I said, though, right?

Which was different.

It's not toward you.

Oh, yeah.

No, you said it in direct response to what I said, so it seemed may seem that way to a listener.

Yeah, I'm just saying, again, I think it's complicated, and I don't think we should go around changing names, and I think it does all this other long-term damage.

I was just, in addition to that, as a caveat, saying that some of the men that I see most outraged about shit like that, like that's disrespectful or that's embarrassing to me, aren't embarrassed to not be around the other theater.

They don't buy a book bag.

Yeah, that's all I'm saying.

And I'm saying I just find that frustrating when those are the people speaking out.

Now, if it's people in other situations, that's different.

If you do that, you deprive my family of the definition of break the cycle.

You deprive my family of the chance to break a cycle.

But to their argument,

you are deprived of

that.

And that's the point.

But that shouldn't speak for my entire lineage and legacy.

There's bad apples.

Every family got them.

So, I mean, ooh,

you failed the family name.

Okay, I had you, though.

So, you, with the right parenting, can go and grow and fix all of this shit.

And if we change in your last name, I see your point, then.

I see your point.

Yeah, that just is nuts to me.

A little bit feels like an ego trip then.

It's like, if you care that much about your family.

The other way feels like both ways are ego trips.

The other way, we're going to point them out on both ways.

No, no, no.

I'm saying in this particular case, again, in the case where I'm talking about the people, again, I'm talking about the people who have been shitty fathers, but I want you to keep my name so you can clean up my legacy.

You care that much about your legacy.

No, no.

See, you're looking at that the wrong way.

I'm only talking about in the case of the shitty father.

The shitty father that's looking at it that way is, in my opinion, a selfless way to look at it.

You're not thinking about you.

You're thinking about...

Everybody in your family that's not just you.

You're thinking about the, let's say, the Johnsons before you, the Johnsons after you, the Johnsons from 50, 60, 70, 100 years.

Why are you I don't

some shitty fathers ain't thinking about none of that.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm saying in this example I'm saying

in the example I'm saying

the dad is feeling like

I don't feel good about me, but I think my kid will have a better shot than me and hopefully that will you know say Joe's a piece of shit

say Joe's a piece of shit.

But Joe's dad Joe's granddad Joe's lineage of Buddenism

was them.

And that particular kid now can carry on that legacy and be a great person with the last name of Budden.

That one blip in their lineage was a blip.

It shouldn't stop them carrying on the button last name and achieving greatness.

Yeah, that's crazy.

And I'm saying, I don't necessarily disagree with that.

And again, I hear his point.

Yeah, I hear the point.

What I'm saying is, if in this hypothetical Joe piece of shit, right?

He was raised by a Wilson who actually did all the work to make

that kid great.

Because again, he's not around.

He's a piece of shit, right?

So he was in the Wilson house getting to school.

The Wilson person gave him the education, gave him the mentoring, the training, and now he's a doctor.

That ain't come from Button?

Yeah.

And so, so what?

So what?

Wait, so what?

I'm saying, I could see, I'm just saying, I can see the other side of it.

Again, I'm saying, I can see why somebody would say,

We raised you, we made you, and this is home for you.

And so if everybody else in the house is a Wilson, I want you to be a Wilson, too.

So then that's the ego play.

I don't think there's a no, it's to make the kid feel home.

Not because I want.

You could be both.

I get your point.

I get it.

I'm not a kid.

I think it's a really good idea.

I think it's a really, really tough situation.

And I could objectively look at it from both sides and see that both entities have points.

Close us out.

That was the close out.

I think when a kid gets older, they could make a more informed decision.

And I think the kid should be the individual to make that decision.

I know.

Go stand in front of your real dad as an adult and say your whole name.

I can tell you this: as somebody who met a daughter at 18, right?

Her world would be a lot easier if she had my last name.

But that man raised her for 18 years.

And it would be unreasonable and unfair for me to want her to have my name, even though I'm proud of her and I love her, because he is her father.

He was the one who raised her.

And so that's what I'm saying.

I can only speak from my personal experience that it is.

And you've been on both sides.

And that's what I'm saying.

So I'm just saying from my actual personal experience, like it is.

Like, it's complicated.

You put a lot more stock in nature than nurture.

I think that's the disconnect we're having.

Maybe.

I put a lot more stock in the nature part than the nurture part.

Yeah.

Okay.

Really?

At least 50-50.

I don't know.

50-50 is not 50-50.

It's for me.

Me neither.

I think the nature part definitely matters.

Like, if you got good genes, fam, and you grew up to be a genius,

nigga, the nurture didn't make you the genius.

It could have helped.

It didn't give you the brain capacity

that you got from your mother and your father.

She got to be a Lamar Hill.

nah we gotta switch that back

she gotta be a lamar hill oh man

yo on a political note real quick just just no no 10 seconds 10 seconds 10 seconds there's nothing heavy nothing controversial fine you're not gonna get canceled eric adams has been offered there's rumors it's not officially confirmed but eric adams has been offered to be the secretary of hud

right that is a very important always get a nigga the housing job that's the first thing right that thing hurt anybody could just be in charge of public housing, right?

Like, just make him in charge of hub.

But the reason is to pull him out of the mayor.

Yeah, that's all.

That's why I'm mentioning it.

So for people that think that Mom Dani has a cakewalk, it's going to get a lot more difficult if Eric Adams takes this Trump job.

And from what I'm hearing, Eric Adams wants to take this Trump job.

So just know that this New York thing is not resolved.

Because if it's Cuomo part two, if it's Cuomo Momdani Part Two and Republicans are voting, because they're also going to pull Curtis Lewa out and offer him a job too, potentially.

And if that happens.

Well, he shouldn't be in there.

He shouldn't be in there.

I know that

he's ahead of Adams right now.

But he's crazy.

He shouldn't be in there.

Right.

And Republicans don't take Cuomo, especially if Trump is telling them to.

I never had a political commercial work on me like it did yesterday when they pulled up.

Hey, I don't know who's running against the mayor of Trenton, but they cooking his ahead.

Yo, that commercial came on.

The mayor of Trenton is MAGA.

The mayor of Trenton wants to raise New Jersey taxes from 6% to 10%.

The mayor of Trinton wants to, he started throwing mad New Jersey facts out there.

The mayor of Trinton wants to take away Medicaid for over 300,000 people.

I'll tell you how they voted before.

Previously voted yes.

Hey, whoever money is, he is a problem.

He is about to go.

Yo, imagine Jersey with a 10% sales tax.

With a 10% sales tax in Jersey on clothes, groceries.

They said in the commercial, clothes and groceries.

I was like, hey, fuck the man, Trenton.

I don't even hear more.

I ain't even from Trenton.

I'm going out there and picking against him.

Now that I said it, the commercial is going to pop up on your TV course or whatever.

Of course it is.

Oh, anyway.

Let's get into

KL2.

Let's do it.

Let's do some KL2.

This has been intriguing to me.

And I want to shout out Pablo Torres.

I don't.

Why?

Oh, because he's riding a little bit?

Are we doing that?

No, not because of who he's riding on.

I'm cool with that.

Okay.

He says that his next case study may indeed be Jalen Brunson.

Oh, so I see.

I thought that was Jalen Brunson.

It didn't sound like one.

He sounded very serious.

So that's my only issue with him.

Why is that an issue?

Well, I thought it issue.

It was mind your business.

Now mind your business, guys.

Mind your business.

Okay.

The Knicks ain't had no success.

Here you come after you got fired from ESPN wanting to bring back investigative journalism.

They're doing a bang-up job.

Oh, you're doing it.

It's amazing.

He's doing amazing.

He's killing it.

I don't believe it.

You find out shit.

No, let's lay it out.

Let's tell him.

Let's tell him, Pablo Tornado.

He should.

They gave him Eli Mannon.

So sports journalist Pablo Torres did an investigation that looked into Kawhi Leonard's contract situation with the L.A.

Clippers.

The revelation that he's made, or the allegation that he's made, is effectively that Kawhi Leonard signed with the Clippers for the max deal, but then also had a backdoor contract deal that circumvents the salary cap by taking a deal with a company that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has deep investments.

And initially, they said 24 million.

Then I think the number now, as of today, was moved up to 48 million.

Partly because of 28 stock options.

28.

I'm sorry, it was 28, and it went to 48 because of the stock options.

But he never, it's reported he's never been paid from the stock options.

Yes, but I'm just saying that was the today they just added the stock options to the conversation,

which made the potential number higher.

And if this were true, it would be a bombshell in the NBA.

And just to be clear, these were allegations that were made when he first signed because his uncle, Kwai Lair's uncle, made a lot of demands of the team.

He wanted a house, he wanted a private plane, he wanted guaranteed advertisements, he wanted part-team ownership, things that all circumvented the salary cap.

The NBA investigated it back then, but found out that there were no violations because they didn't give him any of it.

But now they're saying, wait a minute, he got an empty, like he got a no-show job where he got signed to be like a spokesperson for something and never went to work.

The company didn't exist, did it?

No, it existed.

It existed.

It may or may not have been a scam to begin with.

Okay, that's what I was talking about.

And that's the difference, right?

The question is,

is this a fake company designed to pay Kawhi Leonard backdoor?

Or did Ballmer get hosed himself?

Got it.

Which he may have.

And that's what Mark Cuban, who came to his defense, was sort of saying.

I watched that episode as well.

That's a really good episode if you want to watch San Pablo's

YouTube page.

It's him and Mark Cuban going at it.

Mark Cuban was essentially defending Ballmer as much as he could, even though he was like, listen, he's my opponent.

He owns a rival team.

I am also a billionaire, though, and I can see how he may have gotten caught up in this game.

And he kind of was putting a lot of the

blame on Kawhi's uncle.

Yes.

Smart Cuba.

Because

in part, his uncle is not a registered agent or any of the certified agent or anything like that.

So he basically has the ability to do this deal and there really not be any repercussions for it.

He's like, he's actually smart.

He wasn't trying to make him seem like a bad guy.

He just made it seem like, listen, he didn't have anything to lose basically by scamming this $50 and taking his cut, $50 million and taking a cut.

It's intriguing, man.

It is.

It is.

I think the other piece of this that we have to remember, though, is that there is a gray area here because

sometimes when you go to a city, for example, in Philadelphia, Tyrese Maxey has a deal.

The team is often sponsored by things like car companies, insurance companies, and those companies want to give deals to players who play for the team.

And if you leave that team, you lose the deal because we're the official sponsor of the Sixers.

So sometimes it looks like a secret deal to circumvent the salary cap, but sometimes it's just the natural progression of being a star on a team in a city where companies are there and in the same galaxy.

So it could be a, I don't, I don't know who's lying and who's telling the truth, but I wouldn't assume the worst and I wouldn't assume the best.

I ain't mad at it.

I'm sorry, bro.

I don't like it.

I don't like it if it's bad.

I'll tell you what I don't like.

I've never liked the advertisements on the jerseys and the in the courts.

I hate that.

But I think this is a reason to prove that dislike.

It wasn't like some weird dislike.

They are the official logo shit on all their shit.

Aspire.

Aspire.

Yeah, yeah.

So that kind of seems to be the problem to begin with.

Yeah.

I don't care about players getting their money.

I want them to get every dollar they can.

I don't give a fuck about that.

But I do want fairness.

And my concern is some owners have the ability to make better backdoor deals than others.

And if you're in a major city,

you have more.

So it gets.

That's why niggas want playovers.

But that fucks it up if you live in Cleveland or Denver.

He's like, I don't give a fuck.

Listen, find a way to pay me.

I disagree.

Yeah, I think that all of these owners are billionaires.

Yeah.

All of them.

So I don't give a fuck if I'm the owner of this team in this small market or a team in a large market.

We still are billionaires with unlimited resources.

And sometimes it might benefit the small market billionaire to make these deals because then we could get the major stars to come to these smaller markets.

They're illegal.

Or against the rules.

See,

these niggas got billions.

I just want to do something illegal.

You just told me a couple weeks ago, you can't become become a billionaire without some immorality.

A whole lot of it.

But I just want fairness in sports.

This conversation is not reserved for the small market team.

And this is the direct rebut to fairness in sports.

They had the meeting, all the small market owners was like, hey, it's unfair.

It's not right.

They added the second apron.

So now

the playing field is even,

but the playing field will never be.

It will never be even because Steve Ballmer's money is longer than everybody's

from the Bucks.

But it didn't come from the bus.

It don't matter.

It don't matter.

It don't matter.

That's not true.

The niggas that own the Mets, they money, they're going to be able to do things differently than the Rockies.

Do it.

You'll never, there's nothing you can do about it.

But I'm okay with that if it's like, I can pay more into the luxury tax because I'm richer.

That gives you an advantage because you got more money.

I'm cool with that.

I'm saying don't cheat.

They removed that option.

No, no, no.

I'm just saying as as an example i'm saying don't cheat all i'm saying is don't cheat and if you're going behind making fake company i'm not saying balmer did that that's what's debatable but if it's true you can't make a fake company to pay somebody an extra 24 million dollars and i think i think your whole don't cheat thing and this is just my belief is is is smoke and mirrors i think we've we passed that that's old school sports it's too much money in sports it's too much money in the other g word that i i can't say but none of this is as we see it so it's just about who's doing the manipulating so just let it be the wild west i mean no if someone had to if someone had to have a hand in the manipulation i wouldn't vote for it to be the owner bro not vote for it to be the owner see but what we're misconstruing is how somebody got the money

steve ballmer didn't get his money from being an nba owner true so steve ballmer with his rich ass was rich before he ever got most of them almost all of them

cool so whether he went and bought the clippers or he went and bought the pacers or he went and bought a small market team he still would have more money than most of these NBA owners.

Which means he still has the ability to make these deals.

These deals are not just relegated to big market teams.

No, that's true.

That's but that's I'm saying the big market teams give you more.

If we're going to start making backdoor deals that are illegal, I'm just saying if I'm in New York, there's a lot more players and avenues and avenues a lot more advertising dialogue like that.

I'm at players like companies, people

versus like if I'm in Toronto, not Toronto, that's a bad example.

Denver or Cleveland or something like like that, which are great cities.

So

I don't want that imbalance to get doubled down on.

That's all I'm saying.

And it's not, it just seems unfair.

Again, like, some people want to actually play by the rules.

Are you of the belief that this is a new or unique occurrence?

No, I know for a fact it's not.

I've seen play.

I know play.

I don't want to say who, but I know players in cities that have gotten these kinds of deals before.

There you go.

It wasn't Philadelphia, but I know players who got these kinds of deals.

And it really wasn't.

But like,

I always thought this is fucked up.

Now, again, if it's like everybody's doing it and it's just a secret and this one just happened to come out, then I'm not tripping about it.

To your point, that's just the game.

But I'm not sure that that's the case.

I think some people are playing by the rules, and others, it's like steroids, right?

If everybody's doing steroids, I don't give a fuck, right?

But if 75% are doing steroids and 25 are playing by the rules, that's not okay.

And that's what I'm trying to say.

I don't agree with that.

I don't agree with that.

I know that my take is not the right one.

But I don't agree with that.

If 75% of the league is taking steroids, baseball, Bud Sea League never saw more money than when 75% of baseball was taking steroids.

So what the fuck?

Who gives a fuck with these 25%?

They just make it legal and let everybody

fuck with these losers are saying

over here.

That Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa race.

Yeah.

Chicken-legged weirdos.

Hey, hey, all them televised game, Maguire, Sosa, Sammy Bonds.

You know what I never heard?

I never heard from none of them niggas not doing steroids.

They didn't put a microphone in front of them.

That's true.

Dweebs.

Nigga, Mark McGuire was hitting the home run every day.

With one arm.

Every fucking day.

Dead ass.

Dead ass.

Shit was fucking.

Primetime TV right there, Mark.

The worst is Bag Bonds, because he was actually better than everybody already.

Then we started doing Roy's.

And I think Bag Bonds is the greatest player ever.

Once he started doing Roy's, he was a rap.

I think that's not.

I disagree with that because Roger Clemens is better than everybody, and he started doing it.

So if the pitchers start doing it, if the pitchers start doing it and it gets them an extra mile per hour, extra break on the ball, or anything else that gets them an advantage, and I'm a hitter, I'm going to do it.

Guess what I'm doing?

I'm fine.

I'm going to catch it.

My point is, then make it legal.

Let everybody do it.

I'm going to do it.

It was.

It was.

That's why everybody was doing it.

Let me ask you something.

Do you believe in it?

Just frowned upon.

Let me ask you something.

Frowned upon.

Do you believe in unwritten rules?

I do.

All right.

Yeah.

I'm good with unwritten rules.

I'm good with it.

Like I said, I'm fine with it.

My point is, in baseball, at some point, they made a banned substance list.

They should have.

They should not have.

They shouldn't have.

But what I'm saying, once you do that, it's no longer an unwritten rule.

There's a written rule.

That's comes here come.

There'll be an unenforced rule at that time.

We did that because here come the initial game.

Here come the initial gang and the dorks, but here come the FCC, the AC, FC,

ACA.

Steroids are bad for you.

Oh, they're illegal.

Subpoena.

We like Cobra.

It was like a little testies.

Yeah.

Fucking lose-ass nigga.

Man, all the steroids announced.

We need people to watch the home run derby.

We don't care no more.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah, no, I'm with y'all.

I believe sports are filled with unwritten hurdles.

Niggas went to every fucking rock movie.

Niggas got a problem.

Yeah, and then they point to the golden age of baseball with Babe Ruby.

What do you think they were doing back then?

That shit was a wild one.

That was a mafia.

It was babe.

That's what they were saying.

He was drinking whiskey.

Babe Ruby word.

Killing those farmers.

Yeah, doing cocaine in the fucking dugout.

Fuck it out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

A-Rod had his steroid nigga come to the dugout.

Hey, drop it off over here, man.

Fuck the traffic.

Right.

Uber Eats.

Yo, man.

No, look, I'm good with the steroid era.

I love the steroid era.

That's my favorite era of baseball, honestly.

Uber Eats needs to give me the option to decline homie on the bike.

Oh, yeah.

I completely.

Technology is there now to where I should be able to switch that out.

Because if I order tacos, they are going to come soggy.

But dogs.

If you ride with the shit, the fucking

flap open.

Yeah.

Them motherfuckers.

They be riding with that little domino pizza thing to keep it hot.

Supposed to keep it hot.

That shit don't work.

No, I don't have that shit open.

Hey, yo, remember, I told y'all, nigga, the nigga was riding the bike with my pizza in his arm, nigga,

the long pizza box.

I almost killed that nigga, son.

I almost killed him.

I said, what are you doing?

He's like, this riding it with the electric shit, too, with all the wind is blowing.

That shit was cold.

Why would you bring my pizza like that?

It's because you had the long box on it.

Yeah,

the square joint.

Yeah.

I couldn't believe that shit, son.

Was that just for you?

Oh, that's good.

A nigga wasn't scared.

No, no, I was going to ask if, you know, you should.

I can't hear you.

Say it again.

Some of these stores do need to update the technology.

Some of these stores is making too much money to still receive payment the way y'all do it.

They got the supermarket the other day, somebody was in front of me trying to get a money order.

I guess they had just got a new money order machine.

It took that nigga two hours.

Fuck these money order.

He was tired.

The niggas at the supermarket.

Sometimes just to keep me grounded, I walk by places that do Western Union.

Check cashing spots.

Western Union I still do.

And it keeps you grounded.

You still do Western Union?

I have to, yeah.

You a bum.

Niggas in jail.

He's in jail.

What do you mean?

Oh, you've been helping them.

Jail and people oversees.

Those are the two people I got to say.

You got to do what you mean.

People.

He laughed at me.

Oh, money grant.

Yeah, I sent money grand to people in Gaza.

I help them out with lessons.

Yo, change.

Do this.

Yo, don't do that again.

Yo,

change, bro.

I hope you learned a lesson.

How you gonna help niggas overseas with lessons, niggas?

Yo, this nigga said,

I help them out with wisdom.

Lessons.

Listen to the pod again.

So good off.

Nigga slap the shit out of this.

This nigga's nuts.

I helped him with this.

Hey,

watch E-Y-L.

You see straightened my nigga.

Oh, shit.

Oh,

yo, that's crazy.

Oh, man.

Watch this link.

Yo, Martin being at Western Union is funny.

Yo, yeah, I hate that shit.

I feel very out of place, but you gotta.

Man, that shit is expensive.

Yo, yeah, that shit highest.

$25 to send $100.

Yeah, that shit is crazy.

It's usury.

Oh, I don't know.

Yeah.

They got an app now.

Just let JPE rise harder.

Just let your niggas rise.

JPEG fleeces you too.

All of them do getting out does for the video stuff.

It just lets your niggas rot.

Jill's like, I don't know if it's anybody.

Murray, that's crazy.

Yo, I sent my brother some sneakers yesterday.

I paid like $100 for some like Adidas Miz.

You know what I'm saying?

Like some shit that in the you wouldn't even wear on the shit.

Cold Nikes.

Yeah.

Oh, them Johnson too.

Cole's Nikes.

Yeah.

Oh, speaking of jail.

Yes.

We got to unpack this young thug's.

Oh, my God.

I'm tired of it all.

Hey, Micah, turn this pod up right now.

About to unpack the young thug tapes.

I'm so sorry.

Anyway, I'm tired of it, too.

We're not.

Thank God.

He said that Glorilla was ugly.

Yeah.

She said,

boy.

Boy, you better chill out.

I'll make it hot over there fast.

And then he said, I apologize.

I never even thought you was ugly.

And I was home saying, he did right.

He knew what he was doing.

He did the right thing.

He did the right thing.

At this point, I think it's fair to say that Thug was just bored.

And it's okay.

That's it.

Well, he's being set up.

That's what I'm saying.

Clear facts.

And nobody's saying a thing.

And

it's pretty easy.

Whoever's doing it is doing it from the comfort of their home.

It's like they had a whiteboard in the jail.

What do you think of Andre?

Tanya?

What about Tanya?

Whoever's setting him up is doing it with the ease at home with their feet up eating the journals.

It's over.

Eating the journals, nigga.

They're trying to ruin him.

They're trying.

They doing a great job.

He's not helping.

He's not helping.

How so?

Slaps.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah.

Slaps pushes all his noise out the way.

Right.

They do.

Hell, you know it's funny, man.

And it's not funny, but

it ain't that easy to find a slap.

I was just about to say, like, I think we kind of get comfortable with some of these good artists and how effortless it is.

But then when the machine is not behind them, the machine that y'all talk about so much, y'all just be like, nigga, go make six slaps.

We take it for granted.

If it was that easy, my nigga, I would make them.

Right.

Drake heard a song, ain't heard no slaps.

Yeah.

Thug, you need slaps.

Lil baby fell off, ain't no slaps.

At some point, we have to say the slaps far and few now.

The people that come up with the slaps, maybe don't even work here no more.

Something is off.

Things have changed.

Yeah, things have changed.

These have changed.

Whether it be the team,

it's not.

Doug could use a slap.

You don't say that.

Nigga, Drake could use a slap.

Yeah, well, Drake could use a

slap.

Who couldn't use a slap?

Yo, anybody that do music, if you just wake up one day to a slap,

that sets your year, sometimes your next two years.

Your career if it's the biggest publishing.

Nicest slaps.

It changes the conversations you can go have, changes the fees you can ask for, changes your tour and the size of the places you're going to tour at.

A slap change everything.

So I ain't about to keep shitting on niggas for not having them, but I am.

Only because these are the people that had the slaps.

Like, these are the people that understand that.

Yo, I got to just put music out.

Yeah, in fairness, we're also not talking about generational hits.

Like, just

talking about, yeah, that's it.

I'm not talking about no game changer no iconic record that we're gonna play 20 years from now just some hot some good music now

yeah they ain't doing it some of this music ain't been bad

some of it has it ain't a lot of it has some of it no it ain't been feed me for a year exactly so i don't know if i think we looking for slaps i don't think we're looking for good music i think we're looking for slaps from the slap makers that have been proven to make slaps.

That's all you're saying.

Like I said, whatever change ain't just right there.

Whatever changed.

That's not entirely true, though.

When you say that it's like some of the shit sounds good, it's easy to make shit sound acceptable now.

There's too much technology to put out something that sounds horrible.

Okay.

So put more time into the actual craft of the fucking song.

Does that guarantee a slap?

Nothing guarantees it.

And that's my point.

Like, niggas act like you just go to the mailbox, like, oh, six slaps in here.

Good looking.

That shit ain't just that simple, evidently, because we haven't seen them in years.

Flip,

I was thinking about you yesterday when I saw

that Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson are going to have a fight, an exhibition fight.

What do you think about me for?

Sending you in a boxing.

I know it's not one of the sports that.

You just finished fighting in the street, nigga.

For free.

It was an exhibition.

Exhibition.

God damn it.

Yeah.

I wish I thought of that.

I was just mean.

That nigga said you was doing the blanc.

Yeah, you said that.

Hey, yo, listen, man.

Look, look, man.

The time has come.

The time has come, man.

I got to get my ass.

That's That's what I'm saying.

Off the parkway.

The time has come, man.

I don't need to be going through that.

I don't need to be going through that, what I went through, man.

You had security.

Yeah, yeah.

I did have security.

And police.

Yo, but you ain't Pete.

He's a police.

He looked at the police first.

Oh, I'm Pete.

And then rushed home, boy, after he saw the police there.

No.

You know, he was going to get him up off you.

No, no, no, no, no.

To me, in that moment, I heard somebody call my name.

That's why I turned around.

And then I saw the police.

I did charge and take advantage of the situation.

But you still the first nigga I ever seen.

Turn, make sure the cop was there.

Let's start the fight.

I didn't make sure the cop was there.

And then do something to just totally get arrested.

Like, that was fly.

That was fly.

That was fly.

You got arrested.

Did they actually arrest you?

No, no, no, no.

They didn't arrest.

Detained.

Nobody did anything.

I wasn't detained.

I wasn't arrested or anything.

I think that it was the officer that called my name.

You got a little pep.

Somebody said, yo, Queens.

That's why I turned around and i saw it then i you know i'm saying but it's old

group of women huh could have been a group of women he was just calling them queens

i need to get off the parkway and i just got to just do other things man when it comes to that i think that we'll just walk away nothing you know what well no no no no i don't think that walking away right now is in my repertoire

i think well i have to go

i think i think i think that i think you say it again you said you don't have to fight you don't have to fight i'm saying to say like i don't have to fight you don't have to fight he wasn't saying walk away metaphorically.

He just literally walk away from it.

No, no, I understand what he's saying.

No, I know what he's saying.

Even your, I didn't hear you, what did you say?

Sounds like aggressive.

Yes.

Yeah.

Intentionally.

I don't want no smoke.

Just assume for the rest of this episode, I'm never shooting at you.

Even I, I'm these are sincere questions.

I promise you.

There's no joke.

I'm just, no, I watched it and I thought, okay,

dude is obviously instigating something.

Yes.

And he wanted a problem and you gave him exactly what he wanted.

Yes.

And that's the thing I hated about it.

I understand.

You know what I mean?

You've come up here for months, maybe years, talking about how the old shit that you used to do, you don't want to be known for that no more.

Yeah, that wasn't, okay, get it.

I'm talking about potatoes.

You didn't like how you would go out in public and people would see your skits and think that that's how they should approach you and

handle you in real life.

Yes, sir.

So what happened?

Y'all gonna be mad at me.

We gotta have our intervention later.

Okay, nobody have no intervention.

No, no, I'm just gonna have it.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Let's do it.

Can we go back to the fight?

I want to talk about Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather.

Yeah, that's actually the thing that I wanted to talk about because to me, this is rock bottom.

I know it's going to make a lot of money and I'll probably watch it.

I'll probably have a fight party.

So I'm part of the problem.

I'm such a coon.

I am a whole coon.

I'm trying to tell you right now.

However, I wish they wouldn't do it.

I think too much of Mike Tyson to watch him lose, which I think too much of Floyd Mayweather to watch him lose in an exhibition fight.

I don't want to watch either of these people.

They're 60-pound difference.

They shouldn't be fighting each other.

They're 100 years old.

I don't want to see it.

It's going to be a horrible fight, but you do want to see it.

You said I'm watching it.

I want to see it for the spectacle of it.

It's like watching a bus accident.

And I'm saying like...

That means you want to see it.

Yeah, I'm saying, I think

I'm part of the problem.

And guess what niggas do?

They put together a whole bunch of accidents, put a compilation together, and put them out to the world and make money off of it.

Yeah, and I just wish, one, I wish I didn't want to see that shit.

I wish I had the discipline to not watch it because I'm part of the problem.

But I also just know this isn't good for either of their legacies, even though I'd love to see Mike Tyson get paid.

I disagree.

You think think it's good for their legacies?

I think that at a certain point in your life, when,

one, we don't want to judge anybody's money.

That's number one.

But

I think they're both good.

We don't.

When we start to

where the hell did that both?

Dog, we don't know if

somebody has enough money now to where legacy matters to them.

Mike doesn't.

And that's my point.

I didn't want to say that.

No, he says it.

He says it a lot.

So Floyd might be doing him a service as the OG to be like, yo, I know we can go get 200 million over here.

You're going to take 100.

I'm going to take 100.

I'm looking you out.

And fuck with legacy is talking about when you can't put steak on the table for your family.

I'm not telling them that they're wrong.

I'm saying I hate it.

I hate the way it looks.

I hate the way it feels.

How much is steak?

How much is steak now, dude?

$2.99, bro.

Come on, ish.

Joe, what?

Eric Tyson could go buy a ribeye.

Yeah, but I don't know if Mike Tyson could pay the mortgages and the lifestyle that he has sustained over for the next 10 years.

Mike don't care about legacy, so I don't want to keep using his name.

I know that he don't, he don't care.

I mean, this is his however-manieth

fucking exhibition, Mike.

So, like, we don't have to really.

I'm not sure that Floyd cares as much about Legacy.

I think he cares about 57 and 0, though.

It's not a good idea.

I know, but Floyd being 57 and 0 in actual fights, if he gets knocked on his wallet and knocked out, whatever it is, if he gets knocked unconscious and loses his fight and doesn't go on his record,

Nobody's getting knocked.

Nobody's.

No, he's going to land.

Which is why I fucking don't.

That's why y'all don't see that as a problem.

This is back to the ransom tweet.

What do they think of y'all?

That's what this is.

We're going to put these names up here, say this.

People say, oh, I want to see them fight.

They're not going to fight.

First off, it's not going to be a fight.

But people are stupid enough.

They're going to buy it.

They're going to go to parties.

They're going to do all of this.

It's going to work.

You're all invited.

Also, just bored enough.

Like, it's going to be on a Saturday night in the winter or fall or whatever.

Two of our favorite sports personalities getting in the ring, doing whatever they're doing, and making some money.

I'm not mad at it.

I'm going to watch.

I'm not mad at it.

I'm going to spend the money.

And I don't mind it.

I don't.

I don't.

It's not like they're in their primes.

They're both retired, essentially.

That's why I don't want to watch it.

It sounds disgusting.

Did y'all see Dr.

J and Korean Du Jabbar play 101?

No.

No.

It's one of the worst.

Go on YouTube when y'all get a minute.

No.

And watch it.

It's after they both retired.

I'm going to go back and watch

Markle Mutt Hill versus Patrice O'Neill Clips.

Actually,

go watch For my man.

When you watch Dr.

J versus Kareem Dil Jabbar, if you choose to watch it, it is the worst basketball game ever.

One, again, they're not matched well, and they're both way past their prime.

And Kareem dusted them, of course.

But Dr.

J didn't look like Dr.

J.

He looked like we did.

You know what I'm saying?

And Kareem didn't look that much better.

He was just bigger and tall.

So I'm just saying, like, I hate for that to be a lasting memory.

And there's kids who will never see a Floyd Mayweather fight or a Mike Tyson fight, and they're going to see this.

And I just hate that.

I just don't like the Legacy.

Anyway, we can move on.

I just don't like the Legacy.

I think there's kids that might go go back and watch some of the old fights because all of us, the unks, are going to be sitting around like, man, these guys used to be the shit.

And they'll be like, that's fair.

Maybe go watch some of this shit.

I like the birth of a new revenue stream.

I'm a fan of that aspect.

Yes.

I like having something compelling to watch, even if it's going to be terrible.

A new revenue stream would be nice.

Compelling.

I mean, one thing we did see on the flyer was Mike Tyson Productions.

Or Mike Tyson promotions, which was nice to see.

Which was nice to see.

Yeah, Floyd, I'm used to seeing on the flyer.

But seeing Mike Mike Tyson promotions was striking to me.

So I think to your point, there might be a lot, a much bigger revenue share in this for him.

But I would just like to see him do.

I don't want somebody, a 60-year-old man, to have to get even pretend to get punched in the head in order to

pay his bills.

What's the other option?

A new revenue share.

I don't know.

You know, I know he's doing, he was doing podcasting.

He was selling weed.

Create podcasts, selling weed, all those kinds of things.

Great edibles.

Yeah.

See, but that's the other thing.

How many times do I need to come up with a new option if I just made made 20 million six months ago?

Right.

Like, how many times do I need to get water from the well?

Now, I'm not at that discipline, so I would go do it.

Also, I would do it.

Maybe you take the 20 or however many millions of dollars you get from this fight to fund your next venture that you have planned and don't have the funding for.

I would be so excited about this business venture, I would ruin it.

Like, I'd hit somebody for real.

Like, I would make

nobody's got children, bro.

Nah, you wouldn't.

You're trying to get as much money as you can leave your children when you get off the face of the earth.

So if a nigga brings me a hundred million dollar deal in 2026, I'm a fight again for 75 mil in 2028.

As long as there's a market to keep giving me checks and I'm at a minimal risk, I'm taking them.

I also say as a casual boxing fan, there hasn't been like a lot of big fights to watch, so I'll take it.

Yo, niggas got to stop saying, yo, niggas got kids, so we want to to leave all the money to them.

Sometimes.

You might just want to blow it.

Sometimes you just

want the money to blow it.

Yeah.

I got a lifestyle I like that I used to have.

These fucking kids.

Sometimes you want the $30 million Rose Warriors to look like a little boat with the shit in the back.

Yeah.

And that might be it.

Listen, I keep looking at shit that I don't have no business looking at online.

I could see where a few extra dollars would come in handy.

Jim Ursa selling his lake house for the 30 million.

What else?

Hey, they just showed me a bunch of pictures of Jay-Z and Beyonce's portfolio.

Oh, if you really want to get sick,

and they're looking at some shit in the UK right now.

Yeah, Nick, ridiculous.

Nigga.

Yeah.

It's almost some more shit to get now.

It's always some more shit.

That's the thing.

There's always some shit to go get.

I mean, if you're.

Yo, how much more money you need?

You can't buy another house.

Oh, shit.

Maybe not on

here.

Yeah.

I don't know where the rumors are coming from, but

they say Jay-Z is working on something again.

Yeah, it's been bubbling around.

Well, they've been getting louder.

I mean, I feel like they're getting louder.

Memphis Bleak podcast.

Shout out to Memphis Bleak.

There's been a bunch of people out there mentioning it.

Yeah.

I took Bleak's word serious, though, when he said, Yeah.

Real quick, I was reading a tweet.

From Lauren, and she was saying that she was at the press conference when they were talking about Jay-Z.

You mean Lauren from the Breakfast Club?

Yes, La Rosa.

And she was saying that she had the press conference where Jay-Z was talking about, or what they were talking about, the casino.

And she said that the reception there wasn't too positive.

Like she said, as human beings, people were against Jay-Z bringing casino to 42nd Street, to Times Square.

What do you think about that?

Because I think it would be a great business move, Times Square.

I think it would be, you know, or you think it would

like.

I feel like you want my real opinion?

I do.

You seen Times Square lately?

Come on, stop doing that.

It could be used a casino.

Times Square ain't dirty.

You don't fit right in.

Why you say the dirty cleaned it up?

You've been to Times Square.

You've been to Times Square.

Everything store ain't gonna get fun.

Yo.

Ruby Giuliani cleaned that shit up years ago, man.

The biggest Ruby Tuesdays in the world is not enough of an attraction.

I'm sorry.

There's a red lobster there, too.

It's delicious.

Come on, Joe.

That Olive Garden is still fire over there.

It is.

That Olive Garden is on the second floor.

I'll go there.

When?

When the last time you picked it up.

When is the last time you've been in the olive garden?

A few years ago.

Oh, okay.

No, not when the last time you picked the olive out of a garden.

When is the last time you went to olive garden garden?

Two years ago.

Two and a half at most.

And it was that one in the Times Square that I'm talking about.

I like that one.

When you go up the escalator.

Yeah, it's nice.

Why do you think I don't do nothing?

Regular.

I wonder why.

He always paints me as the fucking wig.

I wonder why.

I'm an Olive Olive Garden G when it's one around.

That's one of the things I've got.

Always one around.

That's one of the things that's going to keep me grounded, buddy.

It is.

We live in New Jersey.

Nigga, it's an olive garden around here all the time.

22, Springfield.

22.

It's more than that one.

I know.

It's cool.

That's my wonder.

I know.

You hit the address off the top of your head?

Yeah, that nigga.

That one overs.

What?

That tour of Italy?

Bump ass.

Times Square.

Stole first.

See, here you go.

Times Square is a hot fucking mess.

It was a winner city.

I could see no shit.

I can watch your billboard over there, bro.

Niggas are gentle for everywhere else.

Time square.

I need to listen to you.

When them billions come, when them billions come, they're going to clean that shit up.

I know you're talking about now.

Yeah, they're going to be doing it.

A little bit.

Yeah, they will be dead before they clean that shit up.

No,

they've gone.

Fam, do you remember what Times Square was like when we was kids?

Yeah, the real Times Square.

Yeah.

And they did something different.

And if Jay-Z or whoever comes and puts more billions of dollars in there, some of that money is going to be allocated to cleaning that shit up so these tourists can feel safe spending their bread.

Family, people are not so safe in Times Square right now.

It's pretty safe over there.

I'm in Times Square.

Times Square is not to me, super safe.

You're in Times Square a lot, you say?

Times Square is not safe.

It ain't that safe.

Times Square is not safe.

Work stuff.

It's not that.

All jokes aside.

Fox News is 47 for 60.

And BET was right there.

Timesque is there.

Times Square is not safe.

Times Square is fucked up, bro.

No, it's not.

No, it ain't.

You be passing.

No, y'all saying that because of who was occupying the streets over there?

Is that what I'm going to say?

They got scams.

They got niggas over there doing mad shit, robbing niggas, hustling, all that shit.

Atlantic City is disgusting.

And guess what?

They go down there every five minutes to gamble.

I work in Times Square.

They're going to be there.

15 years?

And granted, it's been

six years.

The old studio and it made music.

Yes, it is.

I had to walk through Times Square.

I had to walk through Times Square both ways and that's how I go out, eat, drink, all that shit in Times Square.

I was in Times Square.

I don't work in Times Square.

I mean, I've over there a few years ago.

I worked in Times Square for 10 years.

tall ass over there.

Yo, it's different when you hang out.

I just caught up with what you was talking about.

Now you're walking through.

Just going through it, passing through.

It's a whole different ball.

Dog, this Times Square has its own precinct, and niggas will still shoot you over there, stab you over there.

Oh, then you're not paying attention to Times Times.

That's not true.

You're wrong.

You are wrong.

I'll look it up.

People are getting shot in Times Square right by the door.

They just shot somebody recently.

You shot Times Square the last year.

Oh, my.

They just shot somebody recently.

I'm not lying.

Okay, out of how many billions of people are going to be able to do that.

That's what you're saying.

Yeah, I got to look this up.

I don't judge it like that.

If you're going to pull out the gun by the hot dogs man at 3 p.m., I think it's dangerous.

With Spider-Man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey,

that could have been the only time the gun came out that year.

But guess who ain't going back?

I wouldn't quite call that dangerous because one

occurrence happened.

What I'm saying is when the investors come, unfortunately,

they clean up the neighborhoods.

They spend some money to

get an ROI on their investment.

I'm trying to figure out why would anyone be against it going there?

The same reason people

shit.

Probably the businesses?

No, because

you tend to displace the people that are already there.

In Times Tour?

Who's in Times Square?

I've been saying displacing the Twitter.

It's MCVs.

It's businesses and other shit.

Viacom.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't care about them.

Yeah.

The way I would, like, in a neighborhood, like, you know, get rid of people.

The Ebin M source can go.

Yeah.

It's fine.

Ripley's.

Yeah.

Ripple's.

Public Dump Shrimp.

See?

We do need a new casino, though.

That's fucked up.

I don't know if I'd want to go to a casino in Times Square either.

It's just already too dense for me.

Depending on how I look.

Depending on how I look.

I don't want to go, but I may want to Uber someone from here.

You ain't done gambling yet.

Oxygen being in the building at 3 in the morning.

They be wide awake.

That's the new cafeteria.

That shit is going to bring back some of that old-time square shit over there now, too.

Oh, yeah, they do.

The old shit.

Oh, shit, man.

The casinos tend to come with that.

Yeah, some stragglers.

Yeah.

All right, what else is important?

There's more people than that are from New York listening to this broadcast.

What else needs our attention or doesn't need our attention?

Rest in peace, Giorgio Armani.

Yeah, for sure.

We're pretty late in the broadcast.

Rest in peace to Giorgio Armani.

Fashion, legend, fashion, icon.

Along with

Roland Ray, rest in peace to Roland Ray.

Internet, internet icon.

We lost two legends.

We did.

We lost two legends, man.

Let me queue up outstanding.

Mark, you don't have a beautiful eulogy for Georgia Armani, huh?

Or Roland Ray.

If I was Georgia Armani, I'd be mad as shit that I did all that Roland Ray's in my, you know what I mean?

He might rest in peace.

Oh, it's about to get worse because I'm going to throw Stream East.

Rest in peace.

Let's get something that we really need outstanding for.

Oh, facts.

Go ahead.

Good job.

What is Stream East?

Stream East was a bootleg streaming site for sports.

Watch all the sports shits without the

ticket.

I'd be mad we rushed over my shit for Stream East.

Stream East fucked a lot of people up.

That was going to hit hold for a lot of people.

You good, E?

Yeah.

Legends, Legends, all.

Legends, all the two steel.

There we go.

There we go.

Everybody, legends.

Thanks, guys.

Hey, man, love them.

No, you're here, freeze.

Hey,

let Mark do the rest in pieces, all right?

Freeze it.

Freeze it.

Look at Mark.

You don't give a fuck about this shit.

Oh, my God.

I don't give a fuck.

You know, I don't give a fuck.

Nah, everybody loved them.

Everybody loved him, man.

Thank freeze.

Love fucking you.

At least that's effort, though.

Yep.

Anybody like to laugh?

Stop laughing.

Everything you talk, you're going to laugh.

I'm saying.

He ain't going to stop.

That is effort, though.

That's more than Mark did.

Mark said, I ain't going to be able to do it.

They did.

Mark!

I was close to your your joke.

Like, I didn't put much effort into it.

I'm not saying Roland Ray.

I actually was sad about it.

My daughter was very upset about Roland Ray.

She was a big fan of him when she was in high school.

She loved him.

She called me yesterday.

She's like, I can't believe he's dead.

And I was like, no, really?

Everybody loves him.

Did you see the picture?

No, what the fuck?

Tick in time by him.

Oh, my God.

No, I'm just saying, like,

he was ticking time by me.

I was hoping that

he would have gotten better.

He had a lot of health issues, you know.

Oh, that ain't gonna work.

That ain't gonna work.

Roland Ray got some of my favorite reads, Albany.

That's fucking hilarious.

When Roland Ray was talking to Trina cousin, Barbie Light,

and he was like,

I'm rolling around bitches like you.

He was cutting Bobby Lights.

I know y'all don't care because straight man,

but he got some good reads.

Rest in peace to Roland Ray and Giorgio Armani.

Everybody loved them.

All right.

And Stream East.

And Stream East.

Fucking free.

We might as well RIP the WNBA season, too.

People are saying.

Damn.

That's what a lot of people are saying.

I don't feel that way, but a lot of people are saying that because Caitlin Clark yesterday announced that she's out for the year.

And so the eyeballs are going to be gone.

A lot of the national televised games are probably going to get changed.

People are going to see how much she meant to the league.

And again, I love a whole lot more players than Caitlin Clark.

And I hope now that people look at the Adria Wilsons and

all of them, right?

But it's a big deal that she's out.

But I'm glad she's resting up because she's had injuries all year and she's had just a really rough second year.

So I'm rooting for her to recover and I'm rooting for the league to still get supported.

Even if you only watch it for Clayton Clark,

try watching something else.

Do you think that the racists will discover Paige?

I think that's going to be their new Caitlin.

Yeah, I think that's exactly what's going to happen.

I got to fall back.

Got to find one.

Yeah.

But I hope they pay attention to Andrew Reese's great season.

I hope they pay attention to all these other things that are happening.

Shout out to Andrew Reese.

Yeah, for word.

Doing that business.

No, I'm sorry.

Doing that shit again.

I'm over here.

I always get distracted anytime I see something that says, Mother faces backlash over what she wore to her son's game.

She always got all the ass.

She just wearing some regular shit.

She has some ass.

Oh, no, he a lot of ass.

Oh, he had a game.

That's just sick.

He can't even put the pads on.

Move, nigga.

Where's your mother?

We're on special teams anyway.

You ain't getting no burning.

Sit down.

Oh, man.

Let's see.

Let's see.

Let's see.

We did KL2.

We did Stream E, Saw Cardi, Rest of P, Tyson Mayweather.

I see Lil John Bodybuilder on the board.

And I know I saw the images of him doing competitions and stuff.

I don't know who wrote on the board, but somebody was really interested in this, and I want to know why.

We're just trying to promote health as wealth up here at the Joe Buddy podcast.

Oh,

right.

As bodybuilders ourselves.

A lot of us are going to the gym.

Are you going to the gym now?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's what's up, man.

That's dope.

Yeah, that's dope.

Proud of you, man.

I need to get to the gym.

That's normally the next step once you learn security won't hold it down.

All right, let me get my shit right now.

I gotta be able to do this in case it pops off.

Hey, yo,

yo, you talking to security after that?

Huh?

Nah, I got winded.

I'll be like, yo, fuck, I gotta get my shit together.

What's up, Joe?

What's up with us?

You're my man.

You just said it.

I don't want to to say nothing.

20 minutes past, yeah.

No, I don't have no beef with you.

It don't have to be beef.

We can have a conversation.

This is a broadcast, and we're here to have dialogue.

I think it's unfair to the listeners that you may start something.

Yo, I'm gonna let it sim in and not shoot.

Just think so.

I can handle whatever you say.

If you want to have a conversation, did that nigga connect with that long ass hook?

No, come on, man.

Stop it.

Please.

And pause.

Yeah, yeah.

Wait, you didn't

egregious.

Wait, what?

Did he connect with that long ass hook?

Yo.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my lord.

Yo, you are flagrant, boy.

I've been with children.

The other day I felt like I was 33.

Took my knee up off the bed.

Went to work.

Yo, it's been about 20 years since I took that other knee off the bed.

Yeah.

The Captain Morgan.

Yes.

She looked at me like, who the fuck you is?

That's a dangerous game because now you got to do it again.

Right.

And when you're doing it, you got to do it if you're doing that.

That's it.

Like, you got to go.

You got to put work on it.

You can't pump fake that one.

That knee is off the bed.

And you look back.

You are just like, nope.

It ain't no last long here.

No, no, no, it ain't long.

We done.

You're gonna get the seven pound strokes and then we back to normal.

Gotta get the oxygen tank like we're in the mile high.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Anywho, let's see.

What else is going on up here?

Oh, the Epstein list.

Oh, yeah.

We finally might get some action.

Even though I doubt it.

I doubt it, yeah.

The Epstein's victims said that they're going to come up with their own list.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess who better to do it?

Good for them.

They don't know.

They was under all types of drugs and Cisco.

Hey, you KO.

Cisco.

Yo.

All the rich old white guys kind of look the same.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, those are some different party favorites.

Hey, hey, that was the guy in the suit, real pale.

Hey,

the troopy face.

Liver Scott looks like he could have been dead.

I don't know.

It was dark on the island.

No facial hair.

Look at him.

Greedy eyes.

I'm looking like Purdue.

Yo.

Yo, tell kids about to falsely accuse somebody.

They're about to lie on somebody famous.

They're going to get that nigga Purdue chicken.

Yo, shit.

All right.

Oh, man.

They say they're going to come out and put the list out themselves since nobody else wants to do it.

My advice to y'all is the same as it was to Theo Bond.

Do it, do it.

Hey, but the mistake was announcing it.

They should also maybe wear wigs and shit.

I'm trying to hide the identity a little bit.

I feel like

a press conference.

I feel like in the horror movie, we done

waited two hours to watch the good guy finally get the upper hand on the bad guy.

And you give a speech, you tell him what you're done.

And now he done uncuffed himself, stabbed you.

You're like, dummy, what are you doing?

Same thing with these kids.

If you was going to do it, god damn it, just do it.

Do it.

That was the only thing I didn't get about it.

I made a press conference announcing that y'all are going to say something.

Content.

And y'all still live right over there.

Y'all live.

Nigga live right on Johnson.

Y'all niggas is right in Long Island still.

You niggas have pulled up.

Staten.

Staten.

Rainbow.

It's less security.

You're right there.

They distracting us with this young dog shit.

Lord.

Mariah, scientists, you ain't low neither.

Talking about some damn, they say she looks like people.

Yo.

Stop.

It's important in a relationship to know when your partner is setting you up to.

For real.

There'll come a day where it turns in

Mr.

and Mrs.

Smith in the relationship, and you got to win.

You got to win.

You can't let us.

Yeah, they say she's like Rihanna.

What'd you think?

Anyways.

Niggas know what they're doing.

Holy shit.

Y'all hear Drake

tell the people why he colored his paint his nails?

I missed it.

Was that in the body interview?

I fell asleep.

Yeah.

He said he bites his nails.

So

he just wanted to have pretty nails like Yachty because he always bit his nails and they weren't unattractive.

I see.

That was the least informative content piece I think I've ever seen in my life.

Yeah.

Just another reason to get her in a bed.

Yeah, yeah.

Yo,

he just shit.

shit, don't nobody matter.

Hey, why is he

do this interview in a bed, nigga?

It was for the first time.

None of the other interviews were bad.

But hey.

Nicer bed?

Nicer bed.

I won't be the one to bring it up.

I'll tell you that.

Nicer bed.

Anywho.

Yeah, much nicer bed.

View.

And he talked like he beat.

If you watch.

I ain't see it, but I get your point.

You have to see it.

There's definitely not a bad thing.

You would have to see

a post-beat vernacular.

Absolutely.

You would have to see it.

A little post-beat energy.

And

she was trying to

utilize it.

Nah.

Nah, you know.

Keep the beat going.

Let's see, let's see, let's see.

I think we might be done with our list.

We might be done with our list.

I don't see anything else up there.

How y'all feel about your football teams this year?

I feel great.

You should?

Yeah.

And you don't watch the game anyway, so.

Yeah, but just knowing, you know what I mean?

I guess you don't have have to.

Don't ask me.

I want a tank.

I think that y'all might be kind of all right.

Yeah, y'all can be good.

I would love us to win six games.

I think you're going to win eight games.

I think you're going to win eight.

I think y'all

saying is I think that they know that this is

a transitional year.

I think they've seen enough from Jackson Dart to be happy.

I've seen enough to be happy.

He'll be there.

So I'm sure they do.

So let Russell and Jameis do whatever they're doing.

Let's get a good draft pick and let's get this ready for next year.

And if we start losing early enough to put him in the game like around week 11 sure

i feel good going into next year or the next few years so i'm not mad at where the giants are take away kudos kudos to the giants for having a quarterback room with black guys there and this is the first time in nfl history where half of the starting point

are black so let's make some noise for that yeah man absolutely

in four or five years it'll be more you want to make noise for that Yes.

I love black quarterbacks.

They're great.

Very accurate.

Anti-black.

Anti-black.

Yeah, you're not beating allegations.

Marcus be saying allegations.

Did you use an accuracy joke in this?

No, I wasn't being funny.

I wasn't being sarcastic.

I'm saying, like, you know, historically, they were seen as like athletic but less skilled.

I'm saying now they've actually,

they're skilled.

They're elite quarterbacks.

I love it.

I love seeing the depression of black quarterback.

Yeah.

They're not just legs anymore.

I'm with y'all whoever putting that compilation together.

Y'all got some.

It's fun.

That's That's fun.

I'm excited.

Not excited.

I'm disappointed a little bit for you as a Steelers fan because I think...

Commanders fan.

But go ahead.

I thought you were a Steelers fan.

Go ahead.

I'm joking.

Oh, okay.

Because y'all are so well-coached and have such a great organization.

You're probably going to win nine games, 10 games, make the playoffs, and not get better.

That seems to be like the Steelers.

They live it.

They well coach.

They live in mediocrity.

Yeah,

that's where Pittsburgh has been for the last decade?

Longer than that.

I mean, if you're lucky, maybe Aaron Rodgers will come in there like really fuck shit up like in a bad way and you you can tank if that's what you think is better i do think it's better it's not better

we ain't we ain't planning to compete for a championship

and haven't done that and haven't done that since about 2015 16.

been trying not to act

this ain't the answer we'll see though listen i'm hoping to be wrong i think he's gonna shock people too play well he might pull the Brett Favre or the Jetson suck and then go to the next team.

Do you think I do well?

Look out, look.

All right, again.

I'm thinking about going to the game Sunday.

Oh, yeah?

Where is it?

Met Life.

Oh, why wouldn't you go?

I have reasons.

Oh, okay.

Fair enough.

How you feel about them, Cowboys?

I thought we had a really good shot at winning yesterday, even before the game.

I said that.

I think we look good.

I think we're going to be better than people think.

Playoffs?

Stretch.

Right there.

Okay.

Wild card-esque.

I think Dallas has enough pieces to be a playoff team.

I don't necessarily see championship or anything above in us, but I definitely think we have enough to be a championship team.

You think the projection on the Cowboys is seven and a half games, you got more or less?

More.

I think around 9-10.

Oh.

9-10 is 10 games playoffs.

9-10, you're going to make the playoffs.

No, it's not going to be.

1-10, you will.

10 games, 10 games.

NFC?

10 games out of the 10-year night.

NFC you might make it on 9s.

No.

Yes.

You might make it on 9.

I don't think that the Cowboys are going to be in that, though, by the way.

I think they'll be fourth in their division, unfortunately.

I disagree, but okay.

Oh, you have a fourth in the division?

I do.

Damn.

I do.

I think our defense is going to be leaky.

I'm anxious to see what that Giants defense looks like on Sunday.

They got some points.

I think they're going to be amazing.

I think the Giants' defense is going to be really good.

They got good receivers and competent quarterbacks.

For the first time they got a one and a two receiver.

Got a running back that's going to be a second.

Actually, it's for the first time they got a one receiver.

A bona fide one

in a very long time.

Since Odell, yeah.

So I just think that I think the Giants are going to be better than people give them credit for.

I think so too.

Who's fell off faster than

Ben Simmons?

That was fast?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If you think about the year that the Sixers lost to Atlanta where he didn't make shoot that layup,

I mean, he didn't play.

It's been over since.

Yeah, it's been over since.

He was an all-star date.

From here to now, nigga, he ain't been.

No, no, but I'm saying from that year, just from that moment.

And people thought it was injuries, but he hasn't gotten back.

The talk now is retirement.

Yeah.

He's been retired.

He's been retired.

I'm worried about him, to be honest.

Mentally.

Yeah, yeah.

He is, for me, a really, really talented player,

exceptionally talented,

who was always never quite figured it out.

The scout reports on him when he came into the league were that, you know, he doesn't affect winning enough.

He doesn't show up in big games.

He's not coachable.

He doesn't have a motor.

And I think when he got to the NBA, that played out that way.

I watched him for those years struggle with shooting.

And I watched him get the ball wide open and wouldn't put a shot up.

By the time you got to

get in his head.

And then when Dr.

Rivers kind of publicly said, you know, I don't know, when I I asked the question about him,

and when Joel and Bede also had critiques of him, I think there's shame, there's embarrassment, there's ego.

And now the money's gone.

I'm not saying he's broke.

I'm saying the big contracts are gone.

He's not going to get another big contract.

I worry about his mental state right now.

I know people say they don't care because he made all this money, but I'm talking about just as a human being.

I worry about Ben

and where he is because he's still a young guy.

I think he ain't really care about basketball.

That's what I think.

I think that outside of his outside shot and him not having a proficient outside shot, he was still damn near walking triple-double.

And he can damn sure

lend to a team.

And I think at some point he just stopped caring about the sport in itself.

Like, yo, I don't feel like fucking with y'all.

It's like when somebody comes in the industry and the industry games and all this shit, they don't want to play him.

He's like, yo, fuck y'all.

I'm here for the check and I'm out.

I think the injuries he also said you saying about his mental health.

I think, excuse me, I think he's kind of been

processed this, this point, a long time ago.

This ain't an abrupt change where it's like, oh, shit, now it's over.

I think mentally he's been checked out of basketball.

I agree.

See,

the red flag for me is the fact that he's lost an agent.

He stopped, Rich Paul no longer represents him.

Now, his most recent agent let him go yesterday or two days ago.

When your agents start getting rid of you, that's a sign of something else.

And that's what I don't know.

But we'll see.

I hope he finds a team.

I hope it's the Knicks.

Yo, watch your fucking move.

Well, after that Jalen Brunson scandal breaks, after Pablo Torres goes to Jalen Brunson, you might need a point gun.

Found out he got Oyo in Wisconsin.

I keep telling Pablo, look at the Knicks.

Yeah, I would take Ben Simmons if he wanted to play basketball of the Knicks.

Y'all get him for the cheap.

Yeah, we'll see what happens.

Nigga, 6'9, defender, long arms, can handle the ball, dish the ball.

He ain't gonna shoot nothing, but you don't need that.

6'9 with a hook?

Yo.

he got a hook.

Like a hook shot?

Oh, my God.

He can make leaves.

My basketball, you're like, oh,

you guys.

Jesus, this nigga is stupid.

It's you not immature enough.

I caught the control.

All right, there's more young thug jail calls, but we can skip it.

Yeah, yeah, I'm ready to go.

This time he's taking aim at three stacks.

J.

Cole.

He said he ain't heard two Andre songs.

You could name two Andrews.

I said that J.

Cole's never sold as much as NBA Young Boy, so I don't know.

He said Andre didn't put nobody on.

I'm dusty.

He's just bored in jail.

Yeah, that's all it is.

I can't get mad at it.

What did he tell Glow?

I was in jail just low on life.

That's it.

I was just low on life, just saying shit.

You got it, young dog.

It's not like he was on the record saying all this shit.

Yeah, you should be able to talk shit in the privacy of your own home.

That's a false.

Or whatever.

You don't sell.

You're on the record if they're taping.

Well,

this call is the same.

That's recorded.

That's the record.

I suppose.

I suppose they did warn you before you hit five

that's yeah what else what else what else needs our attention uh stumbled across another list

stumbled and this is the um top 50 greatest female rap albums 50 okay lauren's number one of course miss education is one

Lil Kim Hardcore is two.

Okay.

Missy Elliott Super Duper Fly is three.

The Brat Functified is four.

That's where I that's where I jump off.

Yeah, you lost.

Yeah, that's where that's my stop right there.

That's a good album, though.

It's a wonderful album.

I think Foxy Foxy albums, it ain't better than that.

It ain't better than Queen Latifa.

That's the first Queen Latifa already.

It's better than Curti, for example.

Well, let me get through the top ten.

Light as a Rock.

Yeah, let me get through the top ten.

Sorry.

Five, Rhapsody, Layla's Wisdom.

Six, Foxy Brown, Il Nana.

Seven, Nicki Minaj, the Pink Print.

Eight, Bahamadia.

Screwed up.

College.

Collage.

Yeah.

What they pump it is.

Nine, Trina.

Right.

The baddest.

And ten is Queen Latifa Black Rain.

I have Black Rain at like number four or five for me.

Not me.

I got the first album.

But you.

No salt and pepper.

You like Black Rain?

You fucking asshole.

That salt and pepper.

First album.

This is what I say.

I'll give crap.

I'll give crap.

Just because somebody don't want to come in and big up Foxy 77 times, nigga.

You just been, you agree with me on my Foxy takes.

What are you talking about?

No, I like.

I think Foxy's.

You cold agree with me.

No, but it's other people.

This is what I like about the list.

Hey, take that salt and pepper shit to the pantry.

Salt and pepper appears on the list at 22 with Very Necessary.

That's about right.

Fucking crazy.

Salt and Pepper is back there with Stetsonic.

Jinxy fan.

You know what I'm saying?

Stetsasonic niggas will fuck you up.

Three, five, seven, five.

They back there with all of them.

This is what I'll say about that list, though.

For once, they weren't just going for the biggest star.

They were actually talking about a quality album.

That's true.

I agree.

Because Black Rain isn't a really good album.

Collage is an excellent album.

Layla's Wisdom is an excellent album.

So at least they're trying to actually talk about the albums and not just who's the biggest star or who's the biggest name.

That's true.

I respect that.

Where did Cardi fall in at?

He was like 21 or so.

Oh, they're wrong as hell.

They wrong as hell, bro.

She's in there.

That Cardi album

crazy.

What's the best Nikki album?

Probably the one that's up there.

Pink Print.

Pink Print.

Pink Print.

Pink Print's the best one.

Yeah.

I thought MC Light.

I mean,

Light should be up there somewhere.

Yeah, Light to me.

He's one of the first two.

Yeah, Cardi was 21.

No, yeah, that's wrong.

Give me the teens out of curiosity.

All right, all right.

20, Nicki Minaj, Pink Friday.

19, Lady of Rage, Necessary Roughness.

Okay.

18, Queen Queen Latifa, All Hail the Queen.

Yes, that's another great one.

17, no name.

That was the one.

That was the one.

That was the one.

The one that was high fucking bridge though.

The Queen is the one.

Got it.

Got it.

17.

No name.

Telephone.

All right, we got to stop.

16.

You didn't like that no name album?

I didn't even hear it.

I like no name, but she should not be in telephone.

It shouldn't be that high, but that's a great thing.

I like no name, she should not be in telephone album.

Oh, I don't know about that.

All right, you don't get y'all.

I don't know about that.

I need to say that because you guys both own bookstores.

She's a book club.

Oh, look at that.

16, Gene Grey, genius.

15, Missy Elliott, so addictive.

Missy got about five albums that could be in this top 20.

Facts.

Gangsta Boo, Inquiring Minds at 14.

13, Little Sims.

Sometimes I Might Be Introvert.

I'm not sure.

That shit just came out a couple years ago.

It's a good album, but top 20 is insane.

12, MC Light, Light is a Rock.

Okay.

And 11 is Eve Scorpion.

Okay.

That works.

I feel Gene Gray should be higher too, but I would have put genius.

I would have put this week.

But that's just me as a Gene Grey fan.

There's a Doja album that goes somewhere in this mix.

They're probably considered a Doja rap.

I'm a head, so.

I love the Rod Digger album, the first one.

That was the other one.

Dirty Harriet.

Dirty Harriet is actually.

That's a really good album.

I feel like that about, I think, the first boss album.

Okay.

You ain't wrong.

You got it.

I think that was Recipe or the album that had recipe.

The other album is hard.

Dirty Harriet is 22nd.

Okay.

I'd have put Dirty Harriet hydrogen.

Y'all are telling me that No Name.

I'll go listen to it.

No name is dope.

I wouldn't put her in the top 22 personally.

The album is a little, it's like a monotone.

Same issue with Gene.

Like, sometimes it's the same type of thing.

Tomadia.

It's a little lo-fi, too.

It's a little,

I don't want to say earlish, but somewhere along the lines.

I don't know if you're going to really fully enjoy it.

You're not going to like it, but I love it.

It's dope, though.

I loved it.

Yesterday is my shit.

All I need is my shit.

Sonny Duet.

Like all that shit.

That's a really good album.

It's better than the next No Name album, which I think is really good, too.

You got it.

You got it.

And

the boss album you referenced?

35.

All right, good.

All right, that's not the way.

At least they had it in mind.

They acknowledged it, yeah.

At least they had it in mind.

I'm not mad at that.

Hey, Ish.

What you think is?

Nothing.

What y'all doing this weekend?

Anything fun?

Anything lit?

Like, I know we covered all the news and the first topics.

The first week, football, kickball season.

So niggas gonna be.

I might be at that game.

I'm thinking about it.

I'm really, I might be at the game.

You definitely should be on that game.

I should.

What?

You wanna go watch the games?

I'll watch the game.

Well, actually, I got a spare game on Sunday.

We're going to watch the game.

Play some of the game.

Oh, shit.

And that's the whole school.

And Jeezy's in Jersey.

Where?

When?

New Jersey Pack Sunday night.

Oh, where?

It's another one of the black tie joints.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah.

It makes sense for that.

Yeah.

Why Sunday, man?

What's up?

And it's black tie.

Is he doing it after these?

All these have to wear black tie today.

Yeah.

Like all of the Jeezy,

this whole tour, niggas have been getting jiggied up.

That's flying.

From state to state to state.

It's the 20-year anniversary of

TM 101.

So he's doing that with the live orchestra and the whole shit.

And he's asking all the fans that when you come into black tie it up, and you get kicked out if you don't.

Nah, you don't get kicked out, but it's like a suggestion.

It's proud of the pod.

You're going to look crazy in there.

Everybody dressed up

in there with a hoodie on.

When did you say that was?

Sunday.

All right, man.

Not going to cancel the space game for that.

I mean, I won't have to.

We should have made quick work of the opponents

by the time Gigi is up here.

Mark, if you free, you can come by on Sunday.

I might be in Philly.

Yeah.

Look at that.

As luck would have it.

Oh, don't.

As luck would have it.

I'll reach out.

I'll make you grab a partner and come over there.

I hear you, buddy.

My dad had cards on him at my birthday dinner.

He damn sure.

Yeah, he pulled me to the side.

Always got.

I said, fam, that's what you're doing.

And you'll really sit right here.

What?

He said, let me show you what a real player does.

Yo, if somebody had to pull up his jacket and put on a deck of fucking spades, 50 a man, he'll sit right there.

Yo, I was in

that cake.

What?

That's crazy.

Amani, you play spades?

You random partner.

Me and you could be spades partners.

You never played Puerto Rican?

Okay, we're talking about Patriots.

Yeah,

He plays.

Puerto Rican.

He said, We cut different on this side.

Sure enough.

Bring that Civic down here.

Y'all hold it down out there, man.

I hope y'all have a good week and enjoy

some of the last of this good weather that we get in New York.

If you outside, go ahead and be outside.

Seen a tweet the other day, a nigga was like,

these niggas is 38 talking about some cuffing season.

Go get a job.

No, they say go get your blood checked or some shit.

Damn,

Make sure them levels, right?

All right, man.

I ain't doing nothing this weekend.

My baby gone, man.

So I'll just be in the house, sad, lonely.

Oh,

I don't really know what to do without her.

So

Depressed.

Wipe them tears away at 12.30.

Oh, shit.

What's up?

What you want, though?

Chilling.

Just chilling.

Stop talking to me with your time.

I'm chilling.

This nigga is not chilling.

Yeah, what you on?

Not chilling at all.

Anytime you put on the Sergio, what you got on?

Anytime you put that on, you got to.

I thought it was the camo shorts.

Well, no.

But it's the combination shorts.

No, it's the gap because they match with anything.

But when you put that Sergio on, it's time to be a man of the night.

You do look like you try to go outside.

Yo, stop with that.

It's time to be a man of the night.

Man of the night with some gee.

You got this military short.

Yeah, it were.

Military shorts on.

Stupid ass.

Man of the night.

Those are not military shorts.

You are corrupt.

Those are designer.

Military shorts.

Joe's Army and Navy.

Shit's got a different kind of stitch.

Yeah, the stitch is different.

And they fit different.

Them should be baggy as hell to military sword.

That's the real shit.

No, no, that wasn't it that first.

He just.

That's what it was.

That was it.

He played the first one and then went.

It was already playing.

It was already playing when you told him to play the heavy D version.

You say something else.

Farewell, adios, Cerever Dirchi, Asta La Vista, Auer Voir, Solong, goodbye.

Or 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.

The closed-minded women want you to teach them things.

Excuse me.

Grab your Tylenol, you might need it.

We'll be back same time, same place.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hopefully, we have a nice, non-violent weekend.

A nice, non-violent weekend.

You hear that, look?

Even if tempted or provoked, hopefully, discipline prevails.

And we have a good time, man.

Y'all cool?

Anything weighing heavy on you?

Cool, man.

Hearts, head, soul, mind, body, spirit.

Nah, chillin'.

Nothing.

Any ads y'all took during the week that you forgot to get off?

Took that ad money you ain't get it off because we ain't do sleepers.

Any artists you got a shout out that paid you that you forgot about?

Do it now.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh man, quiet now.

Quiet.

Yo, Aaron Hall singing this hook is so it's sick.

Never mind.

You've never heard of Joe Bunny JBP, JBP.

Where would you be without the JBP?

Well, fold that up right now.

Don't look away now.

Coursey.
