We pod.

No, no, that was barding.

Well, now we're buying, but we are pod.

We weren't.

That wasn't.

Yeah, that wasn't.

Yeah.

Let's fill the audience in.

What do you think the issue is going viral for?

Well.

It's just going viral.

Uh-huh.

Semi-viral, a little lightweight viral.

It's a lightweight viral.

Uh-huh.

But it is a, yeah.

For his performance the other day.

Oh, which was a great performance.

And the pictures.

Do you think he helped?

Huh?

Do you think he helped?

No.

Uh-oh.

No.

Take that.

There you have it.

Him and the money killed the interviews last week.

That's true.

The music ones,

especially.

I thought they were dope.

Yeah.

focused, very focused, yeah,

they were really locked in,

locked in, they were locked in, yeah.

The picture on X that has all the millions of views.

Yeah, I do you know that I didn't post that picture?

Oh, you should have

no, because then it would look like I'm trying to make my man go viral,

and I'm not, I'm just trying to post the best pics from our pod.

Oh, that's true.

So, so, what so the one that went viral, I didn't post.

I just want Parks to know that.

Oh, do you think that it could have been like an alley oop type of situation where you're like,

You, y'all give me so much credit?

You say, You serve him up, and then they go looking for the rest of it.

Man, maybe,

yeah.

So, who posted it?

Maybe the internet.

The internet.

How the fuck they got the how they got the screens?

How did the steel?

Oh, it's a steel.

Oh, okay.

Look, it looks kind of the camera's upgraded like that.

It looks too sharp.

They got leaks.

It look like Pojob.

Ish, do you know what they're talking about?

I think I do.

I'm not exactly sure.

I think I do.

There's

a picture of me laughing with Sasha.

Correct.

Yeah.

With like captions, like when you're trying to get the box and you think that everything is funny that she's saying, like, that kind of thing.

I ain't see the caption.

What's that body dad?

That's my son.

Watch the fuck him out.

He was being a professional.

He was.

That's right.

Engaged.

Known Sasha for 15 years.

Yeah.

It's facts.

I wasn't talking to you.

And she's funny.

Apparently.

I think she did a great job.

On the site, actually.

She did.

She did.

She was amazing.

Look at Mark.

Y'all was laughing at Mark.

Audience.

I haven't, I felt the room out.

I don't know what everyone's temperature is.

So don't think I don't know.

Is everyone all right?

I ain't got no gun with me, man.

You know what?

Ice ain't got a gun.

I'm putting my guns up this episode.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

I'm putting my guns up.

Everybody put their gun up.

You know what I'm putting my guns up.

My guns is loaded, nigga.

My guns is always loaded.

You always just got to be a contrarian.

Yeah, my guns is loaded, and I got the AK.

Why, Mitch?

Oh, I thought you sucked your teeth at me.

Yeah.

My shit loaded.

I'm ready for y'all niggas today.

Joe Manchester.

I'm nice to see y'all.

Joe Mitchell, question.

When you have the opportunity, like you have a picture or an image, and you know it will do well, you know it will go viral, but it could make one of us look not bad, like humiliated.

I know you wouldn't do that.

But bad, like the subject of jokes.

How do you know you wouldn't do that?

Wait, hold on.

Are you crazy?

This nigga posted.

Did something happen on here?

Remember we...

I forgot what that episode was.

Okay.

I forgot what episode it was, but something shit happened here.

That nigga went straight to Instagram that night and posted it.

Remember that shit?

I think I'm body that shit.

I remember.

You know what?

That's all, all right?

You know, you remember everything from when we was little.

Shut up.

Don't talk to my man like that.

You probably best possess it.

You probably best answer this.

What do you think the line is for up here in terms of like

wait, how you ask me a question and then skip me?

I don't even answer it.

Then my answer.

If I jumped up before I could even answer it, so I just wanted to hear what they while they were jumping on me.

But But go ahead.

Say the question.

What is your.

What's the line?

What's the line for you of like when something is worth putting out?

Because it's juicy, but also might.

Y'all know the line.

Don't hit, don't hit each other.

Don't hit each other.

And we try to respect women and children.

That's it.

And you lying with it, don't hit each other because you want to see all that episode.

And respecting women and children.

Those are my lines.

You asked me my lines.

Those are my lines.

What's the real theoretically?

He's drawing with erasable.

Fuck what you talking about.

That just gets shit.

What the fuck you talking about, nigga?

I'm not with nobody hitting nobody.

But if it happened,

you might not encourage nobody hit.

But if it happened,

it wouldn't happen.

Play it out.

If it happened up here while the cameras are rolling.

And the table don't get broken.

Come on.

Come on.

Don't make me choose.

Don't put me in.

Choose what?

Yeah, what's the joke?

The content over a frame.

Come on, come on.

That's why I asked.

If you get in a fight, we are going to milk that.

I also am going to try to make sure that nobody gets in a fight up here.

And does the outcome of the fight change whether you like if one of us gets washed?

Are you more or less likely to put it up?

I think it depends on who gets washed.

Do you get washed funnily?

Is it a hilarious wash lap?

Right.

Like if somebody throws a wild haymaker and misses and he gets knocked out of something, that's going up.

I mean.

Fight going up, man.

Okay.

I just want to know.

It's like the note of rules.

Well, hopefully, hopefully, we get to the root of whatever the issue is before people get to fighting.

And if we don't do that, then I failed as a leader.

I think

we are imagining that.

Like, if a fight breaks out and we skip all of the steps leading up to,

come on, man.

Hey, y'all, I keep cut the.

What'd you got?

What songs you got?

Salak shit.

Some locks shit.

Q Dark.

Play some mace.

Some Lati for us.

A little bit of murder.

Yeah.

No, I like when Mark gets his questions.

I like Mark's questions.

Got you.

No, I like the questions too.

Yeah, answers.

Quite good, bro.

Yeah,

put some Destiny Child on or something, man.

Single

Oh, man.

Oh, shit.

It's going to be an interesting day.

I think so, too.

Yeah, I feel it.

I feel it.

My only question for you.

Back to me?

Oh, okay.

Well, because you never answered my first question.

I did.

My last question is, do you remember the joke?

No.

I don't know what fuck.

I think Joe probably watched the tapes.

I don't remember Joe.

Oh.

Whatever the joke was, I'm sure everybody in here was laughing.

But of course.

But was it the funniest joke that you've heard said up here?

I doubt it.

Because you never put your head on my shoulder.

I would never put my head on my shoulder.

Oh, I get it.

But I've been funny.

I've been funny.

But he doesn't sit next to you.

You haven't been this close to me.

Exactly.

Okay.

Me and Ice have both laughed and leaned in each other's directions, but Ice don't sit that close to me neither.

And won't.

And Ice not attractive.

Jesus.

That was mean.

Damn.

You mean

you don't find him?

Yeah.

I don't fucking.

He said, Ice ugly.

I would hope Ice would be the same.

I knew what you meant.

Ain't none of these niggas attractive.

Ice and no reason.

What are you talking about?

Point was made.

Damn.

Oh, my God.

So the guns are tucked away.

Yes, they are.

Yes, they they are.

Yes, they are.

I left mine home.

No guns.

I ain't got no gun.

I ain't got a gun, bro.

All glocked down like had to be.

Now, unless one of y'all start getting crazy, then I do have to go borrow a weapon.

A metaphorical weapon, because it's hate listeners, too.

You clipped off.

Niggas are sending the shit right to the precincts.

Look at threats.

I told you.

Flip, what's up, man?

You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

What's up, man?

What's What's poppin'?

Nothing.

I'm just making sure you're good.

You're my guy.

Why are you trembling now?

Hold on, nigga.

I'm fine.

How are you doing?

You all right?

That was very romantic.

Yeah.

Yeah, you all right?

Hit him with the Ray Charles.

Ben?

You do that again.

Do it again.

What's going to happen?

Something going to move.

Me and you, Ben's both win the first fight.

Why are you going to fight me so bad?

Come on.

Don't do that.

Don't do that no more.

You can't touch your man.

No, no, you can't touch your man.

Not like that.

Guys, feels a little too romantic.

Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, check, might, check, might, check.

Might check, want you, want you, want you, want you, want to.

Yes, sir.

Whole New York City, New Jersey.

The hay listed, wherever you might be listening from out there.

Oh, wait for the ladies, all wait for the ladies.

You never seen the gloves of an uptown club.

Say I'm on the drawers, as my shit is unbluffed.

Everywhere I go, results pounds of love.

Black old blessing like the heavens up above.

Guess me in the new way care with tick-based brain drone.

Shit, you throw in age to old.

Got meat, so I'm taking it slow.

Making it grow, right now.

My main concern is making it blank, blank, blank.

I dare you.

I'm the one under the world.

Black rock.

Watch my whole thing on fire.

from a hundred.

Like they assassinate.

Mike Jack, one, two, one, two, Mike Jack.

Got the spot on lock.

Taking flicks on the bottom.

So glad you could be here with us today.

I don't know what else to say.

I hope.

Seven by Vega's Amina, they be hustling back.

Well, fuck him.

This man made his run for the door.

Caught him, and the gator shoes his girl, probably bought him too bad.

Black didn't get the chance to explore him.

These niggas like that don't deserve to live.

Working men, and we ain't got the love to give.

For these drop shots, we wanna be different.

Got a great shot like that.

To defeat me.

I ain't

got me.

I want you to ask yourself one question.

If you had 24 hours to live,

what would you do?

That's a deep shit right there.

A lot of questions.

How would you handle that?

Makes me

feel.

Yo, check this out, right?

Holla mother vibes.

You don't wanna follow these guys.

And if you ever out trying to find me,

I think I should warn you.

I get hard when I want to.

And you're lately.

Fat boy, nigga.

Greet them with the nine that they ever keep was mine.

When I lose, I can low.

Put a fool in the yoke, two to a stroke.

And it might be the last time I take a nice leave.

Let's go, man.

It's no breathing.

Ain't nobody ain't leaving.

You killed my man, I killed your bitch.

Now we even.

I'm over here fighting, man.

I'm over here fighting.

Thank you for sending me that stuff.

My son is going through this thing.

I don't know if it's sleep regression, but like he wakes up at 5 a.m.

every day now

and like kicks the bangs and kicks on the door like a like a like a like the SWAT team.

And

I need to do something about it.

And between that and being sick, man, it's hell.

Yeah, I could figure it out.

Did you call the police?

I considered it.

I'm a little thug.

I didn't believe in jail until he

was in the middle.

I didn't believe in jail until this nigga started knocking on the door.

I didn't believe in

him, right?

Yo.

Oh, man.

Oh, my God.

I wanted to go to your house this weekend.

I wanted to come by and watch the fight.

Oh, yeah, for our little kickback.

Yeah, we had a nice little fight party.

We were planning on making it.

We had child care and everything.

We went to Montclair Jazz Festival.

Okay.

And it was dope.

Who was there?

I saw pictures.

Yeah, what's there?

Who was there?

We got there.

We went for the

street party.

It was just a DJ out there.

There were acts, but we got there late, like eight o'clock and got out.

But it was great.

I didn't know it was that big of a deal in Jersey.

Jersey be having some stuff.

It was cool.

Moncliffe.

Moncle specifically.

Yeah.

Yeah, I definitely lived in the wrong place.

And then

we decided to take some of

those.

When y'all be fighting and stuff, I sneak in the fridge and take out the beverages and put them in my car.

And I took

the THC beverage.

Yeah, we took them

at the festival.

Yeah, we didn't make it to your house, dog.

We barely made it home.

I was like, I was like,

and I know how to Lamont Hills party.

It was up.

We had a good time.

They partying.

It was up, but like, yeah, we was like, yeah, I took advantage of the night.

Yeah.

Hey, all right.

That's Dr.

Freaky Talk.

That's Dr.

Freaky Talk.

I took advantage of the night.

This did sound wild, but yeah.

But yeah.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

How about the rest of y'all?

Good weekends?

Yeah, it was a good weekend.

I went to go see The Long Walk.

Oh, it was good?

I liked it.

I liked it.

I didn't like the end, the last

three minutes, but it didn't ruin the entire movie for me.

It was something different.

I didn't see how it was going to go.

I liked it.

And then after that, we shot over to Joe's for the kickback.

Oh, okay.

What didn't you like about the ending?

It just left questions for me.

That's all.

I don't want to spoil it for it.

I still had questions afterwards.

You saw it too, right?

Yeah.

That's all.

I like a movie that closed up.

There's no part two to this.

So there were still questions.

I wanted to know what happened afterwards.

You wanted the white boy to win?

No, I didn't care about that.

I just...

Yeah, nah.

I didn't care about that.

All right, fake little gun then.

Fake little gun.

Little deuce deuce.

I ain't shooting.

Everybody, just for your understanding, we said we weren't going to shoot at each other today, but I'm thinking that's going to last about five more minutes.

I'm not shooting at y'all.

Leg shots.

Shots in the leg.

Nope.

But yeah, we had a good time watching the fight.

Them Netflix fights started late.

Yeah, it was late.

It was late.

Them Netflix fights, they ain't like your dad's pay-per-view.

Condenser was like,

no, no, no.

They started around the same time, but what it looked like, Netflix threw another fight in there.

Yeah, they had more.

That's what what it looked like.

I turned up midnight and the joint still had to start.

Yeah, it was still another fight.

Dog, that fight started close to 1245.

Jesus.

That's the main event we're talking about.

I'm saying main events did not start at 1245.

Because they added another fight.

Well, and then you depend on what the undercards.

Mysing fights used to start.

Was it like 11, 12?

12?

It was totally late.

1245 just seemed late.

It's late.

It is late.

It's late.

It was late.

It was too many on the undercard.

Or the undercard might go the distance.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, typically, motherfuckers start getting knocked out on the undercard.

Yeah.

So it'll be shorter fights.

A couple of them cards went, they was good fighters.

Like, I needed to take a nap.

So for the kickback, I done invited people over there at 9 o'clock.

9:30.

Yeah.

Even people that got there at 10.

This fight ain't coming on till 1 in the morning.

That shit was different, bro.

I ain't like that.

Yeah.

Y'all think people, I had a little bit of kickback.

People didn't probably show up till like 10.

But then I did realize that I looked down and it was 5 a.m.

All of a sudden, I was like, y'all got, I'm going to bed.

Like, I don't know.

What the fuck we doing still?

See, that's how your kickbacks going.

They don't stop.

Motherfuckers are still there.

Yeah.

Five, eight.

We're all just chilling.

Parks and Rem are party heads.

Work.

Yeah.

Clearly.

Although Rem was having a readathon, so she wasn't down with us in the party.

A readathon?

A readathon?

A readathon.

Her and her friends got together and read for 24 straight hours.

It was interesting.

As we're having a fucking fight party in the basement, drinking all types of McAllen, wilding out.

That's interesting.

No.

I was about to say that might be some you shit.

I didn't want to sound like that.

I didn't want to kill the literacy up here.

No, I was about to tell Paul.

I'm about to join a book club.

That'd be dope.

It's dope.

Or actually start a book club.

It's dope.

That's dope.

Y'all could even read the books I gave y'all.

Oh, that's dope.

That might be.

That's a nice little start right there.

Just saying.

Mark is a dick.

Yes, for sure.

Unparalleled.

Yeah, you cool.

I'm just listening to you.

How was your weekend, Flip?

I'm just listening to y'all niggas.

My weekend was cool.

Watch the fight.

You know what I'm saying?

Spending time with my daughter,

driving her up and down this damn 316

and shit like that.

And then, um, oh, you're about to spend some spanky, huh?

No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not, no, I drove her to a street.

Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, my daughter, yeah, no, no, no, and you know, I just spent some time with the children and just, yeah, my weekend was high.

I watched the fight while driving, which is very dangerous, yeah,

but pulled over, watched it, and then got home and finished the rest.

It was dope.

It was a great fight, man.

It was really a good fight.

Did Did it in the way?

I don't know a lot about boxing.

So I

did it, I mean, people seem to be saying Crawford was going to win anyway, but was it more looking at the scorecard?

It looked like it was somewhat competitive.

Like, how did it?

It was competitive.

The scorecard.

But Bud won outright for sure, but it wasn't like.

He won convincingly.

It wasn't.

Yeah, he won convincingly, but it wasn't not interesting.

It was a good fight.

Canelo had moments where it was like, he tried.

Yeah, he tried.

He tried.

I had it

8-4.

No, I had it close up.

7-5.

I had a close-up.

Oh, wow.

We had a close-up?

Yeah, I think some of the rounds that they was giving, but it wasn't really.

I think what happened in that fight, nobody got hurt.

True.

Like, nobody ever got hurt, but

it was probably one of the most uneventful fights, even though they was throwing a bunch of punches.

Oh, no, it wasn't.

Oh, no.

Yeah, it wasn't.

Did you see the fight?

It wasn't a snooze fight.

It was a whole entire fight.

And the fight before it was uneventful.

I think that Canelo couldn't get to him.

He couldn't hit him.

He was frustrated.

And I think

it just wasn't an exciting fight for me.

I think most people, what most people loved about the fight is that they fought.

They didn't avoid each other.

They took a couple of rounds to do the size up, get a download of what each other's doing.

I think it was round four when I looked at Corey, who had Canelo, and said,

okay.

Crawford seems to be gaining confidence.

And by the time it got to six and seven,

Corey was in denial.

He was in denial in the living room.

And as it continued,

word is that they told Bud in his corner after the ninth round that, hey, we think you're up, but

you need to fight in these rounds.

And he came out and did just that.

He did a great job.

He looked like he wasn't affected by Canelo's punches once he felt what that power hit for.

It looked like he was faster.

It looked like he had better boxing IQ.

Canelo looks slow.

Super slow.

He looks slow.

Not even remote.

Like, he looks slow as shit.

Bro, that one time when...

Do it matter.

Do matter if you get $95 million?

No, no.

I mean,

he rumored to have got

above $50, $150 million.

I think that I would have been a snail in that bitch.

Yeah.

I don't give a fuck.

No, I'm just saying, but as far as the fight goes, like, I don't think it was a compelling fight because at no point in the fight did you think Canelo could win after you saw how slow he was like boy was seeing that shit coming a mile away like see it was compelling to me because I was sitting there waiting for the knockdown now like towards the end we was still with 12th round we was all like

the butt was on 15 15 seconds more he's touching the ground oh wow that's what we was all saying it was one it was one well no that's what you and I were saying it was one left hook that and when he ate that left hook yeah I was like yo he can't knock him out because that was the punch that was going to knock him out when he spun his head back and he stood there.

He ain't bobble his leg, he just won his home, he looked back and he was like, Can I look at the walk?

You just hit me with it.

Yeah, the looks he was giving that nigga.

That was

the meme, yeah.

What you calling ate a punch, I'm not

he was surprised.

Hey,

a few times, surprised.

It wasn't just that one that's going viral.

He looked at him a couple of times, yo shit, bro.

He did that.

It looked like he looked in the crowd for his parents.

After some of them punches, nah, after some of them punches, he was looking for his wife medical aid what is he urgent mr beast yeah

where is mr beast

only one of those boxers looked like they could have hit the club they could have went straight to waffle house afterward and nobody would have batted an eye

at all canelo

but canelo looked like i just got paid 150 million dollars to me but his face his face did look

his face started getting red and fucked up in that fight one more round one more round in that fight and i believe that he would hit that canvas.

I mean, in fairness, Bud got his eyes cracked open when he got that accidental headbutt.

Yeah, but yeah, but Black heeled different.

By the end of the fight, whatever had happened, it wasn't so visible to me.

One of the things I liked about the fight, and again, I didn't watch it, but I should say the post-fight, was I watched the press conferences, and they seemed to both be like, they show so much respect for each other.

Oh, for sure.

And it was a great interaction.

And then at the end of the press conference, when Bud Crawford was being asked,

I said, Bud Crawford, what's his name?

Terrence Crawford.

Terrance Crawford.

got you okay i'm not a boxing person so you got me y'all got me no i got you um no i'm talking about online

i don't know boxing um he um mark not knowing the sports audience never stops him from talking about the sports

i ask questions i'm not that's the thing i'm not talking about i'm asking so y'all can teach me um i try not to talk about things i don't know about um

he said that he was being compared to floyd mayweather and he said he is the best of his generation i'm the best of my generation is that fair is that is that is that accurate I would say that's true.

It is.

Okay, I don't know where Crawford ranks among his generation's boxers.

Well, that fight, Connor.

That did it.

That fight did it.

Like I said, it's closer.

I think the Errol Spence fight did it for me.

The Canelo fight,

it's just.

Icelandic.

Yeah, it's just his money time.

It's money time for him.

I think the Spence fight was the fight that solidified Bud to me or any other doubters that, you know what I'm saying?

Like, he beat the shit out of Errol Spence.

Those was the two.

A lot of people say Spence wasn't Spence.

No, I think he made him look like he wasn't Spence.

Well, that's what the other half of the people said.

But they questioned Spence

coming out of that car accident.

It was a lot of questions with him.

Canelo is Canelo, whether he's old or not.

Shit, he's younger than Crawford.

Yeah, 35.

Didn't look like it, but he is.

And his last few fights, Canelo looked like shit.

Yeah, he has.

He has looked like shit.

But the last couple was, he was fighting guys that were a lot taller than him,

longer reach, all that type of shit.

He looked like shit.

He did.

Is this just a cash grab or is it?

I don't know.

I'm watched.

No, I think it's a cash grab.

I don't think it's a crazy fight.

I think yo 400.

That's a fight.

That's a fight.

I don't think it's a cash grab.

That's not a cash grab.

That's a fight.

Okay.

Yeah, he went in there to fight.

He wanted to win this fight.

Yeah, he just couldn't.

He just couldn't.

He was outcast.

Gotcha.

Like when he bought Floyd, he was out class.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Gotcha.

They snatched the belts from Canelo, little man that was dancing.

All that dancing he was doing with the belts belts behind Canelo.

Give me that shit.

Hey, oh boy, give me those belts.

And Bud Crawford gracious enough to give the personalized belts back to Canelo himself.

That was fire.

I'll wait to get mine.

Like, I thought a lot was fire.

I thought Canelo won the

Super Ring outfit.

I like Miss and Mary outfit a lot better than that off-white shit that

Bud had going on, but I get it.

I love bud's entrance the tool threw me off a little bit the band tool that was it interesting choice

very much i was trying to figure out what the connection was i think that they said that he they said that he came out to that music to make fun of the uh ufc fighter that's been going at him so there's a ufc fighter that's been going at him that's his entrance day that's cite your sources okay the people online there's a ufc fighter that's been arguing with bud crawford or trying to and they said that bud came out to his music he even responded online and said said, yo, he came out to my song.

Got it.

Got it.

Okay, okay.

So control.

Okay, also, when they asked Bud about what you're saying, Bud's response was, I've never seen that guy fight before, so I don't know what his music is.

Bud's explanation is, I'm paying homage to my Mexican fans, and this is inspired from

Desperado.

Oh, no, that part I got.

So Mexican band, I got it.

I'm talking about the heavy metal band, too, before.

The band, it was a band, band, like a white rock band that played.

First.

Yeah.

And they might not have had a bad boy.

That's one of the best brothers.

Bud is saying he don't know homeboys in trouble.

So I don't want us to put that.

They called him a clout chase.

I saw that part as well.

Yeah.

But him holding the guitar case, that was fire.

All of that was fire.

All of that was fire to me.

And

good to have a big boxing match that your Saturday night is now.

I like sports being back.

Me too.

football

it bought him out yeah it bought everybody out

oh there you go yeah it bought him out yeah no it was a lot of people there oh for sure

for sure made for a fun Saturday night I think 74,000 something like that that's amazing yeah it was a stadium football stadium yeah but the stars was out you know what I'm saying like magic like the the a1 stars was in the building for sure

I like that too it reminds me of the 90s like I used to watch boxing in the 90s like when Mike Tyson all the while up until like the Roy Jones era I used to watch and I think the world is better when it's when there's good marquee boxing not just exhibition fights not just like people not not just like the tyson mayweather stuff that's going to happen that we'll watch yeah but like real competitive fights it seems like it's just it's just fun to watch agreed yeah i gotta shout out the second fight of the night that was a great fight that was a great fight in b lee versus homeboy fighting the fight that they called a draw bro they was rocking and i was only having that was a draw like that was a draw that was a real draw it was a draw it wasn't no fun they was each other yeah that was a dream they got busy they got busy they was fighting fight that black dude.

He was moving forward the whole fight.

And he was getting hit with some shit.

And he just kept coming, moving forward.

They was broke and that was a good fight.

The fight after that was an absolute snooze fight.

That's what made me appreciate the bud canolo fight even more because, again, that fight before that damn, they put us to sleep.

Vargas' son.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Vargas.

Yeah.

And we had good fight party food.

Yeah.

How was the food?

Let's get to it.

It was real shit.

Food was great.

Collard Greens.

Fuck the chocolate.

Rice and beans.

Turkey wings.

Turkey wings stole the night.

Keto made potato salad and chicken wings, but it was good.

I ain't never had a turkey wing that tasted like oxtails.

I'm keeping it a buck.

I don't know how else to describe it.

I told you.

I don't know.

That's no ass.

Okay, my bad.

I got it.

My bad.

Sorry, y'all.

Sorry.

But yeah, I've never had that.

That shit was.

A1.

That's one.

That's one.

Yeah, I just apologize.

Now you good?

I got it.

He said luck shots.

He said luck shots were cool.

Yeah, no, man.

I ain't shooting.

Me neither.

Congrats to Bud Crawford, man.

Yeah, for sure.

What a win.

Way to move up.

Two-way classes.

That's impressive and do what you got to do.

First five division

unified.

I don't know what he did.

He got too many.

He got a bunch of shit.

Yeah.

Yeah, he got too many titles now for me to know what he did.

He had the tops.

They put,

I think, Manny is the most.

Manny had eight.

Somebody had six.

Then Bud, Floyd, all of them had five.

So he's at the pinnacle now with the who's who.

And go Netflix, 40 million plus viewers.

Yeah, I had no issues on the technical end of

all that shit, man.

Yeah, they fixed all that since that Beyonce's shit.

That was Beyonce that shut the servers down on Netflix.

Yeah, I don't remember.

All right, what else is important?

What else is important, unimportant?

What else needs our full attention?

Oh, straight into boxing, kinda.

Ask.

Told y'all that the content streets have been hot.

So, this is fresh off the press yesterday morning.

Adrian Broner goes to do Cam and Mac's show

and gets escorted offset

because he was

basically sexually harassing their co-host.

Treasure, right?

Treasure Williams.

Like, he was making her feel uncomfortable.

He was asked to stop multiple times.

I'm going to play some of it.

Thank you.

Hey.

What you waste is that?

I love you.

Smart.

I'm sorry.

I'm my badge off.

My bad.

Arabia, is that a real background?

Hey, Stat.

Can you stop?

Can you stop?

Oh, this nigga's bugging.

Now your bro or Samjiti.

Yo, yo, bro.

Oh, oh, shit.

I told you that.

My bad, my bad.

I like it.

It's all like.

Okay, we guess we can move on to football.

Just that.

Oh, my God.

Just that, let's do the football.

I guess that answered the question about Floyd.

When I see you taking off sometimes, man.

Mesmerized by style.

Oh, see, this nigga is out of the ball.

This is

a disgusting person.

My bad, bro.

You're amazing.

All right.

Hey, we're going to have to actually go, my nigga.

I'm going to have to actually go, man.

I'm going to pay you for your time.

You look

for being.

Is he on time?

I appreciate you.

You sound like it.

I love you, my nigga.

I'm not doing it again.

Yeah, no, you're not.

I can't.

You get out of here.

I don't have no problems with you.

I'm going to pay you for your time.

But you can't validate, bro.

I told you that.

I'm not, though.

I'm not.

I told you, niggas, boyfriends are here.

You know who my fucking.

It's me.

It's me.

Well, if you want to wait for us outside, you could, but I'm not going to sit in and not value your time neither.

Enough of that d.

Yeah, he looked.

He looks nuts, y'all.

I don't know if he hung over.

Come on, get up, come on.

It's a long clip.

I'm just letting it play.

This is Cam

kindly escorting Adrian Broner out of his facility

off of his set.

For being.

I think he handled it perfectly.

Absolutely.

Thanks.

He gave you the warning.

No, yeah, we tried to laugh it off the first couple times.

Like, yo, dog, somebody's boyfriend is here.

You saying inappropriate shit.

Like, no, I'm saying that.

And we keep telling you to stop.

I don't want to be that guy.

True.

But I'll say I like 90% of it.

First of all, shout out to Cam for standing in her defense

and for shutting it down.

The only thing I don't like about it, it shouldn't be about her boyfriend.

Right her boyfriend being there isn't the reason why you have to shut that shit down.

No, no, no.

I think think it's a combination of the two things.

I think that, I think that in the manner in which they looked at it, like we couldn't necessarily see her, but they could have seen her and seen her uncomfortability in the moment and stood their ground for her.

But also, yo, if your man is here, that could present another problem.

I get that.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, yo, everybody, man, ain't with that shit.

So I don't know who her man is, but he could be one of them types of niggas that's not with that shit.

So I think that you just kill two birds with one storm.

And if you're trying to convince somebody to stop doing some shit, especially somebody like Adrian Brody, it might be good to do whatever it takes to

shut it down.

I hear that.

Again, to me,

the headline still is Cam shut the shit down, and that's something that does not happen 99% of the time in media.

It should be highlighted.

And it should be highlighted.

He should be applauded for that.

Yeah,

I want to praise that.

I want y'all to have y'all's conversation.

No, no, no, I think he.

I do want to highlight.

I think he did everything perfectly.

Because I've seen that happen a million times the other way.

And it just doesn't happen.

They'll laugh it off.

They'll giggle.

not I don't mean Cam and Mates, I mean other hosts in 20 years and I don't just mean urban media, I don't mean pop, I mean across the board,

honestly, especially in mainstream media, I see this happen all the time where the flirtation happens and nobody does anything.

The few moments we see where it does get shut down is stuff like ESPN, I think with Molly, who we'll talk about in a minute, and things like that, but generally it doesn't happen.

So shout out to Cam for shutting it down.

A thousand percent.

They're overprotective of her, too, and rightfully so.

And they should be.

Yes.

You know what I mean?

They make it clear early that they don't play when it comes to to her.

Yeah.

The only thing I just, I just don't, sometimes we only protect,

and this isn't what Cam is doing, but this is how it could be heard by the audience.

We only protect the woman if it out of deference to the other dude.

Like, I don't want to disrespect her man, right?

But let's say she doesn't have a man.

We still should be defending her that way.

And I think they would have.

That's why I don't like that comment because it almost lessens what they did, which I think is so important.

No, no, no.

That comment, some dudes,

them talking to Adrian Brown,

letting him know, yo, her dude is here.

Some niggas will stand down because your dude is there.

And that's the part I don't like.

But I'm not saying that he did it for that reason.

That's the way to make you understand to where you chilled a hole.

You even said you could wait for us outside.

You, my man.

I love you.

It ain't no interview with you.

Yeah.

But we're not going to let you come up here and disrespect her.

And sometimes a nigga hearing, yo, her man is here.

All right, let me chill.

All right, let me chill.

I might have said the same thing.

I just hate that that's often the thing that

closes the deal as opposed to just like, I'm standing down from, standing up for my sister.

Yeah, but we should love that.

Yeah.

And I see the part that you hate about it.

Like, I don't want to negate what you're saying, but we should love

that

that man,

regardless of her man, stab baby's man, is there as a backbone in support of.

I love that too.

Like, we should champion that.

That's a good thing.

And I don't know what to do.

Because I took it the way that they're saying.

You clearly don't care that you're making her uncomfortable because I've asked you to stop.

And that should have been enough.

Right.

You're continuing.

So now I'm letting you know that

we're skipping a step.

Me telling you her man is here and that's my man.

So you know I'm carrying it for her.

We skipping the next step and we getting right to we can meet you outside.

Not me can meet you outside.

Right, right.

Me and him could come talk to you after this.

Yeah, I think that people need to know that, you know, there's repercussions to action sometimes.

Yeah.

I hear that.

Yeah, I like them working in combination.

Yeah, like one shouldn't negate the other, even though I still understand what you're saying about the shockwave that it may send.

And that's all I'm saying.

It's less a criticism of Cameron and more a point of like, I hate that that's the thing that makes niggas back down.

It's like, oh, you got to do,

then I'll stand down, as opposed to just you're making me uncomfortable.

You know what I'm saying?

That should be enough.

That's all I'm saying.

But again, shout out to the soul to them for the defense of her and for showing what it looks like to

stand up for somebody.

Yeah.

who you're not fucking right, right?

Right, because that's the other thing.

A lot of times we only do it if we have a personal interest in it, as opposed to I just care about this person, or I don't know her and I don't want this to happen.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

So I think we're running a show as a production.

We want to come off or show that we out here, you know, supporting women and supporting our hosts.

Have y'all ever, I'm asking you two because you are both hosts.

Have y'all ever had to do that before?

Like kind of stop some shit from like that from happening with guest hosts or co-hosts or guests?

No.

Would y'all have handled it the same way?

I would yeah i had something i i had something definite for

yeah you had something before how you did it like that and you handled it like that yeah just asking them to leave oh you gotta leave you gotta chill because i know how the person that's in there gonna give it up and you're doing too much or the person that's watching live a lot of the used to be live so they're gonna come up here so let me just stop this let me just for your safety and for me not to have an issue up here

you have to leave yeah and then i took and you take it down out of respect for all parties involved yeah i'm not even about to platform somebody where I ask you something and it go just disregarded that.

Yeah, I agree that too.

Yeah, that part too is disrespectful on the platform.

Yeah.

That's a good point.

To the officer.

Yeah, I love how Cam.

I love Book Cam Dead.

Dr.

Cam.

We need more of that.

And Adrian Brony, he look, oh, he looks.

Get it together, dog.

He did not sound well.

He didn't sound well.

He didn't look well.

He didn't present himself well at all.

It's horrible.

I thought Cam was solid for still paying him.

You went up still going to value your time.

Yo, he might not even have been

a paid guest.

He might have just been my man coming up here, but you did this.

I don't want you to waste your time.

You might have put a flash.

That's a good way to think about it.

You might have caught a flight here.

You know what I'm saying?

So I don't want you to waste your time.

I'm going to take that.

That's how I interpret it.

You know what I'm saying?

That's actually how I heard it.

Like, I'm like, you know, you're going to be a home because of it.

You don't want to pay for guests.

You know what I'm saying?

But if somebody come here and some shit go awry, you might be like, dog, you might have caught a flight to come here.

You might have wasted wasted your time.

You had a prior engagement or something.

I'm going to pay you.

No harm, no foul.

You still my nigga, but you got to go.

I think the whole thing was classy.

Very stand-up.

Yeah, I think the whole shit was classy.

I like it.

I like it.

I love it.

Did anybody see Dame on the Breakfast Club?

It's a classic.

Instant classic.

Dame.

He was up there on full bullshit.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

On the walking.

So I knew the interview was going to happen because they've been talking back and forth on the internet.

And he was, and basically Dame said, give me a fair one.

Like, if you're gonna talk about me, meet me in person.

Yeah, and he, to their credit, they brought him in, and it was crazy, it was like an hour of just insults and jokes.

And the history here is from his first Breakfast Club interview that was a classic, it was uh, where he told them, Y'all,

her workforces, all the workers, y'all, not real men, y'all can't tell me shit, y'all don't own nothing, y'all clock in, yada, yada, yada.

So,

Envy has been having a little fun with Dame and all of the reports of debt and

bankruptcy.

And it's still been respectful.

I don't want to lie on Envy.

It's been respectful fun.

So a lot of eyes were on this interview, and it did not disappoint.

This might be the first time where I plugged up to the Bluetooth to hear an interview while I was in the shower.

Oh, yeah, this new surround sound shit you got, right?

The shit you got around the whole crib.

No, just the regular Bluetooth.

Nah, no, no.

You got that shit in your back.

School bowl speaker.

You stop clocking me.

I went to your crib before, nigga.

Don't clock nothing that's going on in my crib.

You checked out the speaker system in the shower?

Well, that's too.

That's true.

I'm asking.

Of course, see, so.

I don't want beef.

I just

game shit, so I'm gay.

You trying to say?

No, I just thought you were nosy.

Oh, you're trying to bring the same energy over.

I said you got to be a little bit different.

There's lots of gay jokes.

That was the whole interview.

You broke and you gay.

You see how you see how all the lights are up there?

That's how many speakers he got in his crib.

Schniggas lit.

So, you know what I mean?

I had to check.

And I got to clock it.

Got to.

Got to watch my man.

Got to.

You know what I'm saying?

Can't just come over.

Yeah.

You don't go to the niggas' house and just watch shit?

No.

No.

No.

That nigga's just laughing.

Absolutely not, actually.

Actually, no.

You don't watch niggas' furnitures and shit like that.

Funny you should have from their house.

No, I don't.

I've never been to none of y'all's house except for parks.

Yeah, man.

But I know where you live.

My mom told me.

Yo, why?

How long is it?

I know where you live, boy.

My mama told me.

Yeah.

Oh, look, I just live right there.

In the sky.

So Dame won the breakfast club.

And I know what it costs to live there in 01.

So I know what it looked like now.

And I heard more than three bedrooms.

Big step up.

Talking about.

So, yeah, so Dame did get his look back on the breakfast club.

He went up there and just dissed them the whole time.

Yeah, he went to get his lick back.

Yeah, that's it.

But I thought Charlemagne was old school Charlemagne.

Yes.

Yeah, he was fighting back.

He was fighting back.

I thought he did more than that.

i i thought i love what charlamani you're lying he was just like i thought he called him like a debt dash

they called him debt dash and said he should work for debt jam

that's funny that's really funny

this interview uh

i think they handled it way more

appropriately Like, because Dame came up there to basically insult her.

Yeah, but they're professionals.

And they were laughing at him, and I think it had a counter effect of what he thought.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, I think his whole purpose up there was to go up there and belittle them because he looks at them like they're not street niggas.

And so he brings that element to it.

Like, yo, I would punch you in your face and all that other stuff.

Oh, I have that clip.

And I just think that he told me he never sold drugs.

Yeah.

That's all all them niggas do, though.

If you guys look at my answer, I've been editing for six months.

Stupid.

I don't believe it.

Because you're dumb.

How would you know you're in this coffin every day?

Count dumb you up?

I would wear your suit in my coffin.

But I'm talking to you about waiting for you.

How should I know?

I knew.

So when we asked the question.

Yo, I'm talking to him now.

See what you're doing?

Girls do that.

Let me say this.

You acting like a girl.

You move like an old auntie.

You an old Harlem.

I could punch you right in your face like a grown man.

I won't.

And then we won't.

And you won't do shit.

Damn, this is the patty.

So this is not your own cat.

I've seen you run.

I'm not saying I will.

I'm saying no.

No.

Then you're you're

gonna be a little bit different.

We were on the street right now and you would talk like that, I would have fucked you up, but I'm not gonna do that.

Nah, I wouldn't have got beat up.

I wouldn't have got beat up.

Let's end this.

So let me say one more thing.

It's a rather long clip.

All right, no, you're right.

You're right.

Now you want to leave.

You can't get in your emotions and want to leave, dang.

No, what I'm saying is when you interrupt me and you say certain things where I'm from, the masculine man will fuck you up.

Let me finish.

No, I didn't.

It's not going to happen.

I didn't say that.

I

and you wouldn't do it.

And we're gonna fight.

I didn't see that on tape.

You ran.

Yeah, because it was four guys, but that's cool.

I could never ask what happened when 30 guys jumped.

I got that ask.

Hold up, nigga.

But I fucked.

I fucked that up.

Yeah.

Oh, shit.

Y'all fucked.

There's a million more.

There's a million more clips.

It's all gold going around, but this entire interview is

a laugh.

for him.

I think part of why it works is because Charlamagne doesn't actually get rattled by it.

Yeah.

That's the professionalism.

And I know what you're doing.

Right.

Your goal is to try to get under my skin.

So even if you get under my skin, I'm not going to let you do it.

And now we look.

And this is the bad part.

Like, I hate seeing Dame even in this fashion.

Because now they're looking at Dame like, yo, dog, you a joke.

Like, I think the world is looking at this like, yo, you getting up there and you belittling yourself and you taking yourself from the dame that we once knew to down here.

I

keep the it it brings more light to what you got going on it could be a rollout that could have been planned they they knew what they was getting into it's like when i was doing shit and people knew when i was coming i didn't

necessarily arrange it but they knew this is what's coming with it when we're together that's what i'm saying you got such a hold on hold on mom i mean you got such a mature view about talk you got such a mature view on shit and i I get what you're saying from a mature standpoint.

Like, yo, nigga was up here, but sometimes niggas conform or whatever the fucking word is to what's going on on the internet now, nigga.

And to watch a nigga that was once the mogul, one of the biggest moguls in urban music, now no disrespect, resort to skitty shit to get algorithms moving is crazy.

Dave has been talking shit and joking and being back and forth with people for a long time.

Even when he was a mogul, he was running around being funny.

Not like

trying intentionally to be funny and executing being funny like he did today at the breakfast I do think it looks different if the world perceives you as being up here and you like fuck y'all dumb niggas right it's read as one thing I think it does look different if the public now believes that you're broke I'm not saying Dame is broke I don't know what's

but the public sees you as now at the bottom those same things you did before get looked at different I'm not saying it's good or bad right or wrong but it definitely looks different today than it did 20 like 20 years ago niggas was clown or whenever the interview was people were clowning they were laughing at Envy, like yo, Dane was killing Envy, right?

Now, I don't think people are walking away with that same, but that ain't got nothing to do with this interview.

That's what I'm saying.

I don't think this interview changed nobody's mind on Dane.

If you've been watching him on the internet for the last, however long, you thought this about him.

This just, all right, this is Dane being what we've been seeing him be.

And if you haven't been watching him on the internet and heard this interview, you come away with a similar notion.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think you went up there to be funny and he went up there to be funny.

That's it.

That's what I I think.

I don't think it's.

I think that.

I just think it backfired.

I think a lot of niggas that do it, I think it's just

where you're at in life, in society, right?

If Fifth do it, niggas laugh.

Well, that's if he's crazy, but you can't call him broke or say anything about him because of what he has.

Now that Dame and his business is all on the internet and niggas is making fun of him because a lot of times

when you were once here and you looked at as a fall of grace, people take that time to kick your back in and point

holes.

But he always been like that, like Park said.

That's him.

Dog, we've seen Dame teeth fall out while he was talking.

Exactly.

It's different.

It's not the same.

It's different.

20 years ago.

People are looking at you differently for a real reason here.

It ain't just

you're talking.

Like, we've seen things that we never would have seen with Dame before.

That's what I'm saying.

If 20 years ago, I would have told you that 20 years from now, Dame Dash's teeth are going to be falling out on camera.

He's going to be doing, like you said, skitty stuff.

And I was looking at this.

It came out last year, but I was reading his on his

YouTube channel, American New.

The headline is Dame Dash exposes Jay-Z's biggest secrets.

right?

There's no way 20 years ago,

you could have put a gun to my head.

I would not have believed that he would ever have a video on his network entitled that.

And I'm not saying he did the titling, but it's his network, so I think it's fair.

Like, I'm just saying there's a different perception of him now than then.

And I hate it because I have so much respect and admiration for what he's built.

I hate that this is what it looks like.

But that interview was still entertaining either way.

I mean, you think he's still entertaining?

Yeah, he just called Charlamagne Gay the whole time.

He ain't entertaining to anybody.

Oh.

How'd you feel?

It is entertaining.

No, it was some of the greatest shit ever.

No, that was an amazing interview.

I cannot lie.

I loved it.

I don't like seeing Dame like that.

Yeah.

I don't like seeing Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan.

I don't think he does himself any favors.

Any.

No, if you're not.

Hold up in a park.

I feel like Dame...

cares too much about what people have to say.

And that's not the Dame that I knew.

Dame seemed seemed like a lot of this interview was him trying to prove to people or the room that he wasn't broke.

Yes.

I mean, came in dressed to the nines and all that.

Yeah, but he started asking them, hey,

if somebody borrows $100 million from the bank versus somebody

who only has $5 million, who has more money.

Like, he was just asking them a whole bunch of financial institution questions.

He was calling them stupid for not knowing the answer.

Like, what does it matter if people think you're broke?

Does it matter if people think you're broke?

What if he's not not broke then why would it matter if people think you're broke

because i'm not used to y'all talking to me and treating me a certain way yeah because you used to you used to walk around as the undisputed quote-unquote cakeaholic that's what he used to call himself i'm a cakeaholic i'm gonna do x y and z and you built part of your name on yo i'm doing it this way and anybody that does it that way is stupid y'all not men he call he told these people yo you are not a man if you work for somebody else you're not a man So now I'm saying, I'm going this avenue and I'm going to staying

strong on this particular point of view.

And now that point of view to the masses is not working out.

To everybody else, it looks like you are failing.

And so now, as a result, there's some image control that you feel you got to do.

I saw him reply to what, to my reply to him.

And some of that included that he taught me everything I know about podcasting.

Is that not true?

that's not true

i didn't know

what percentage of you know about podcasting would you ducking this a little bit

so like 90 maybe yep

i want

let me ask you a question

doing that face again

so i heard him say that uh-huh and

you know what y'all are right because i know i know this room I know the internet.

Y'all are right.

He did.

He did.

He did.

98%.

About time.

Let me go for it.

Let me explain.

We want to know the truth.

Accountability.

But even at breakthroughs at 45.

See, but we playing around, and I'm down to play around.

My favorite thing to do.

But hearing Dame

even say that,

it's like, oh, shit, we just

saying whatever.

Like, now we just saying anything.

and that's not if we know dame from back then

no you it's your word and your balls it's it's we speaking truth we speaking facts we speaking we uplift and this this that's so so then let me ask you a question about that then do you think he's bullshitting or do you think he believes what he's saying is just wrong or do you think it's like a rebrand yeah yeah like let me get into the talk shit space yeah

it could be all of it right right it could be a rebrand it could be i'm getting in the talk shit space it could be fuck y'all y'all niggas.

It could be a bunch of things.

What could he possibly gain?

Like,

no, no, he knows better than that.

I'm just asking.

He doesn't believe that.

He might believe it.

He doesn't believe that.

I think it's the entrepreneurship, the on your own,

the rejecting the corporate approach, turning them contracts down.

That's all lessons he got.

I hate you guys.

During his time.

During his time in the Rockefeller roster.

Yeah.

Say no.

He really took you under his wing.

Be an asshole in a boardroom.

Yeah.

The fact that he said that, man, listen, what I tell you, this is what I tell you.

I gained on, I understand.

After the Breakfast Club interview, after hearing him say that about me and just watching how he's carrying on,

I get it.

I understand.

I understand.

I totally get it.

That's back to the Adrian Broner Cameron

platform certain shit.

I totally understand him

not

going, not his, yeah, you get it.

Tell me you don't get it.

Don't make me say it.

No, no, you get it.

I'm not saying it.

Nobody got to say it.

I don't follow myself.

But I was one of the people that once upon a time.

Boo hoo.

Boo hoo.

How could you

come on dam and I'm not even gonna put his name in this.

Now you see that shit.

Good call.

Right call.

What a call.

Foresight.

Right call to make, buddy.

That's the great thing about this shit.

When you know some of these people that's on the internet and the rest of the internet don't know that person and you can just sit back and look at your G-Shop and just wait until the internet gets introduced to that person.

It took a little while.

Now you understand us.

Yeah, I get it.

Protect your space, yo.

That was a good one.

Yeah, that was a good one.

You're a rapper.

You got to protect your space.

$3 billion left.

Niggas on the internet right now.

Yo, y'all got to see the Joe and Dame interview.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He's the chairman of Revolt, though.

Round of applause.

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

That was one of the important takeaways from the interview.

He said that he's chairman of Revolt, that he is.

Probably.

Well, no, he said I'm chairman of Revolt now, and he's in the process of trying to acquire the company.

After the interview, Lauren La Rosa, sort of hours later, posted a sort of correction, a fact-check.

Full fact-check, yeah.

I spoke to the publicity department, the publicist is at Revolt, and they say that they are,

he's not the chairman, right?

He then responded on his Instagram and said, I'm chairman for a month.

I'm going to continue to do movies,

which is what he said in the interview.

Take the L.

You know, don't try and

get me with a technicality.

So, effectively, he's saying he's chairman for a month.

I don't know what's true or not.

I don't think Dane will lie about that.

I think it's some miscommunication here.

Now, that makes sense.

The heads over if Revolt would get out of the puff business and jump into the dame dash business.

That'll clean it up.

And to keep the stability, they're gonna do that.

That'll really get this looking like it's supposed to look.

I don't know, man.

I'm out of my business.

But I understand it now.

I'll tell you that much.

I'll tell you that much.

One thing is for certain.

You heard me.

You heard me when you went to go get some food.

I just had a conversation with Parks.

I mentioned the same people.

Like, fam, I get it.

So it could be great minds think alike then.

Oh.

I'm eavesdropping on you and the internet.

For takes.

He said.

He said.

Let me go to the bathroom.

He's like, this is his take.

This kitchen take.

That's it.

Name.

See, that's the other part, too, though.

And I'll close this up because I don't want to stay here.

That's what's corny about the internet at 40 plus.

See, and the 20-year-old niggas is having a blast with the internet.

It's the best thing in the world.

I remember those days.

At 40 plus, when I see people I know on the internet wigging out, I think they having a health issue.

That's the first place my brain go.

It don't go to, yo, he doing fit for clicks.

Yeah, he playing the game.

The algorithm.

I think mental health.

Like, we be shooting people a lot of bail.

Some of these niggas are short-circuiting.

in your face.

In our fucking face, everybody ain't Chadwick and about to handle it with grace.

Some of these niggas are fucked up.

I don't know nobody's health business, but if you 40 plus and you on the internet looking a certain type of way, I put you, I pray for you harder than I was.

And then I can't even come on air and have fun with the shit.

And it'd be funny shit.

Yeah, it's funny shit.

It's funny shit.

I can't have fun because of stupid shit like compassion and tact,

sensitivity.

You niggas is funny.

I want to come in and laugh at all you niggas

and then stay home knowing you want to do something to me.

That's what I want to do.

I want to be home watching new shows.

Whatever, bro.

No, I was going to say, speaking of doing something to you, like...

Oh, shit.

No, no, no, not you.

Just, Dame was clowning Charlamagne.

He said, like, I seen you outside in the street and you ran.

And he was like, well, there were four people.

And he was like, yeah, well, you seen what happened to me when 30 niggas was chasing me.

Just so I understand, is the hood rules?

If four people come, you just got to take the L.

You shouldn't run even four people hooking you up.

I was like, is that rules I don't know about?

I might run with two.

You can't run.

Shit, if it's the right one, I'm running.

If it's the right one.

If it's the right one, I'm out of here.

Yeah, hell yeah.

Taking flight.

Oh, shit.

But you live.

You live to fight another day.

I don't think it's shaman.

Right in my studio.

I don't think it's shaming running.

If running is a viable option to survive, then it's on the table.

Damn!

It's not masculine.

The fuck it's not.

Now, I will also say, I ain't done it a bunch.

I ain't done it a bunch.

Might have been one little time when I was 15, 16, and I had them problems with the whole block.

How tall was he?

No, it was a block.

It was a block.

Okay.

It was a block of people.

It was a dangerous block.

And an athletic.

God damn,

running

stamp changes

was persistent.

Come to think of it, them niggas was hitting them gates like me.

They had stamina.

They was two pocket them gates.

Nah,

they was out.

Shit.

Oh, man.

That's what I was doing.

Somebody we had to stop and just negotiate.

That is funny.

Yeah, I ain't going to do a whole bunch of running, but

yeah.

Have y'all done that?

Ice?

You had to take the run?

No.

Flip?

Yeah, I ran before.

How many was it?

Oh, I'm like 15 people.

See, I love how every nigga only ran when it's like school.

Well, it was the whole football school.

Every time you ask him, you know, he's about to gas it.

Right.

It was 20 of the 20 of them.

I wasn't the 20 guns.

I ran the screen.

All I had was brass knuckles.

It was 15 of them.

I only got 14 bullets.

That little bonker move don't work when it's 20 people.

It worked that one time all day on a crossbow.

I don't want to talk about it.

Wherever you was.

But niggas outside.

Oh, you pressing charges?

Nah.

Niggas outside.

Period.

On top of that, like, yeah, I had to run.

Niggas had knives and shit, so I got to bottom there.

Your safety is first.

That's it.

Look, and I ain't going to lie.

I mean, I've only done that twice that I can think of, but one time it was three of them, but three was enough for me.

I was like, I'm going to fight three people if I could not fight three people.

I'll be damned if you're going to come on my show to talk about when I ran.

Like, even that's low.

Duck Charlamagne is just a good dude.

But he don't give a fuck.

That's the thing I appreciate about Charlamagne who I love about him.

He don't give a fuck about.

He caught him and he kind of stood in there.

He like, and I'll beat you up.

He's like, yo,

I'll beat you up.

Even that's the other thing at 50 years old.

I don't want to hear who you're going to beat up and who you're not going to beat up.

That sounds crazy.

Once you get to talking about that at this age, it should be in self-defense.

It shouldn't be who you about to set it on.

And if so, then it contradicts all of the big money talk.

I don't know, man.

Listen, let me tell you something.

All I'm saying is, I know, Park, we got prospects, but I understand.

And Park, these things are

Park, you good?

We can see, bro.

We see it.

I understand.

I'm not talking to you.

That's it.

I'm sitting here now.

You're born.

I'm clapping at you too, nigga.

And now you stopped me earlier, but I was going to say to you, you said that who cares if niggas said that you're broke, right?

That's what you stated.

And I was going to say to you, then,

I don't think anybody said you broke, but you leaked what you made.

You leaked your joint.

It was a mistake.

Okay.

It was a mistake.

The internet theory, though, was that you leaked it because you were insecure, because all these other streamers were making so much money and you didn't want people to think that they made more money than you.

So you did that to deal with your insecurity around that.

That's the internet theory.

And that would be true

if I was born in the internet era.

Like if I was born in the middle of the day,

you had

Joe Buttonseys that I love and doubled down on this season.

I bought more Joe Button seats this season.

So, no, I wasn't trying to prove a point.

You would be really corny.

See, that's my point.

That goes into my point.

You would be really corny to do that.

That's corny.

You niggas be screaming out your burrow and then

ignoring the corny shit

and then saying, Oh, never mind, man.

Yeah.

A lot of corny shit happened on internet for attention.

And you don't have to do it.

Learn a trade.

Play spades.

Call up three of of your friends.

Get a Monopoly game going.

Buy a laundromat.

Get a barbershop.

Here we go into my same speech.

Play Scully.

Throw the fucking quarters at a wall.

You niggas.

Oh, my lord, you niggas.

Anyway.

What time is it?

It's time for these niggas.

Anyway.

It's time for my favorite part of the show.

That's a good pick, ish.

Kyron Williams for more than 63 rushing yards.

That's a good pick, too.

Jonathan Taylor for more than 84 rushing yards.

That'd be great if Danny Dimes doesn't cock block.

Back to music.

Let's get it.

What are we doing?

What's important?

What needs our attention?

We finally get a Cardi rollout.

And a Cardi album.

And a Cardi album, Friday.

And a Cardi track list.

I mean, not a track list.

Oh, we got the feature list.

Features.

You want to hit that first?

Yeah, please.

We have Janet Jackson's on there.

Okay.

Nice.

That should be interesting.

Cash Cobain.

Makes sense.

Kilani, Lizzo,

Meg, which I think is WAP.

Summer Walker.

Summer Walker, Selena Gomez, and Tyler.

And Tyler.

Girl Tyler?

Yes.

Yes.

She's nice.

I think the Selena Gomez is going to be the pop record.

I think that's a pretty fair

safe assumption.

And probably a a title of the record, too.

I'm surprised we haven't gotten one.

I think we'll get one before Friday.

A record?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She also sat down with Kelly Rowland and did an interview in the Clouds.

She did it, Jennifer Hudson.

She saw the Jennifer Hudson.

And everybody came to work that day.

Yeah.

It was so.

She's working, bro.

She did the subway.

She moved, man.

She did.

She was up in Harlem.

She was the bodega.

She was at Washington Heights.

I went to Flip.

Flip was there.

Oh, you were there?

Yeah.

Yeah.

How do you know?

Because I think I know.

Stop watching me, nigga.

Watch your fucking mouth, nigga.

I'll fuck you up.

They told me you was there.

Don't watch it.

Yeah, it was.

You know what I'm saying?

Watch the eyes.

It was nice.

You had the front row seat.

What happened?

What did you got for us?

It was nice.

I mean,

first of all,

listen, I'm coming off that situation that happened.

So it's a lot of questions that people are asking me.

So when I said it was nice, I had to get through the crowd and get through security.

Did you ask about them shots?

What shots?

Oh, so no, you didn't.

Okay.

Shots that she sent to you?

The cool whip shots?

Yeah, a nigga is self-preservable.

Yeah, yeah, I forgot who I was talking to.

A nigga what?

Of course he didn't ask me.

I don't believe you.

You ain't thinking about that?

You trying to get your own, you know what I mean?

Nah, but it's still a lot.

No,

you're trying to flip your network.

Yeah, yeah.

I got to, nigga.

Look where we at.

This network is

heavy, nigga.

This shit heavy in front of us, too.

Making moving pieces.

This shit like an Arubik's Cube, nigga, in front.

You know what I'm saying?

So I got to make sure my shit is good, but not exactly.

She's working every day.

She's working hard every day.

You are.

You are, that's it.

You are, but it was great seeing her.

I mean, a lot of people showed out, they showed up for her, and it looked packed.

It was a lot of fun.

It was a lot for her.

It looked a lot for her.

Yeah,

feels good that I mean, hand-in-hand promotion is back, and whatever she's trying to take it back in the days, like street team shit.

I like that too.

The angle that she's been looking at, and she seems to be focusing on like New York.

Yeah, I like that.

You're from New York, you built your career from being a New York girl.

Your organic, natural market.

You loved go to the Bronx, go to the areas where, you know what I'm saying, that might be forgotten by once you get the superstardom.

I'm going to go back home.

I think it's fire.

I agree.

Saving my commentary.

I knew it, nigga.

You can't help me.

I knew it.

What are you going to say?

Saving mine.

What are you going to say?

The budget not there?

What are you going to say?

What are you going to say, nigga?

Oh, you know, you know what this means with the label move.

No, but you know the label, man.

But I think if the label not giving you the support that they may necessarily be accustomed to getting, then you take it.

But what if that's a part of the support?

It could be.

I'm just saying, if they're not, then you take the matters into your own hands and you do the shit yourself like we saw the clips do.

I think it's fire.

Hmm.

Saving what I got to say on the matter.

To win.

Say it.

Well,

I got two options.

Actually, I got three options.

Okay.

Upon release of the album.

Okay.

Upon first week.

And upon second week.

So I got to pick my spots because she'll diss me.

For sure.

I can't just jump in with what I think about things because she'll fire up down the spaces live.

Jump on it!

I'm chilling.

I'm saving my saving my heart and drake.

I got to save it.

I can't just give it to them.

You know what I mean?

I got to play it cool.

Do you hold?

I hope the album is good, though.

Okay.

I hope the album is great.

Like, I hope that...

I'm wrong about all of the signs and what it looks like.

The featureless Not for Nothing looks like it was not the cheapest.

That doesn't feel cheap to me, that lineup.

We got to see.

I agree.

They said that was the first.

They said that was the first Janet Jackson feature on a female song ever.

Damn, really?

I thought that was such a wild stat.

Wow.

We know for sure it's a feature?

Like a verse?

I thought it might be just a sample.

That's what I was thinking.

It's listed as such, so I mean, I guess we'll wait and see, but I would hope.

Well, we know Janet is a big fan of Cardi.

Yeah.

So I would think it's a feature if they're running around with that stat about her and features.

Got it.

Yeah, I don't think they would announce it that way if it wasn't, but I could be wrong.

The features say that there's a song on there that they could have gave us instead of Imaginary Player.

For sure.

Or it says that they tried to hit every single

demo.

Every demo.

Yeah, yeah.

Left no box unchecked.

Maybe we're going to see a lot of

post-album release work.

Okay.

So we'll see uh either way i'm rooting for cardi even if she doesn't think i am

and i'm saving my commentary i mean i'm excited i want to hear the album yeah me too me too is anybody else dropping this friday

yeah to our knowledge no no no it's next friday oh they don't even know what day it is yo these run together only thing i know dropping this friday is the iphone

you got your shit already you damn right um let me check go ahead y'all talk Anyway, okay, so Cardi rollout, her album this Friday.

Let's see what else.

What else?

What else?

Oh, the clips at the Vatican.

The Clips were at the Vatican to perform.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

First rap group ever.

First rappers ever, I want to say, to perform at the Vatican.

That shit looked absolutely amazing.

That shit looked like...

Mike Dean.

Opulence.

Mike Dean did the visuals.

That shit looks crazy, dog.

And real quick, there is something else dropping Friday.

Thug album is dropping Friday.

Really?

Yes.

What?

The video that he put up, the one that we talked about.

Miss you, Miss My Dog.

At the end of the video, he album, Oot Scooty, I think is how you say it.

And the date, 9-19.

That was the other album dropping Friday.

That seems premature, but awesome, if so.

Okay.

So we should be getting new Thug Friday.

He might have been working.

That's just odd.

Yeah.

That is odd.

It is super odd.

That's odd.

Uh, what were we talking about?

Oh, the badges, clips at the battle.

Clips at the battle.

This is fire, man.

Yeah,

everything about

the visual stuff.

Top tier.

Amazing.

Top tier.

Just having a rap group at the Vatican is super fire.

Nah, when they came in looking like that,

the band,

all that shit was amazing, man.

The birds don't sing.

The birds don't sing.

They screen too late.

That choir, along with that orchestra,

along with John Legend, along with the clips and how they look.

The aesthetic all around was amazing.

Everything in here, this was a real proud moment

for me.

Yeah.

Really proud moment.

And what a icing on the cake to what has been a phenomenal rollout.

For sure.

Like icing.

I don't think they done.

Every time I think, all right, what next?

Oh, shit.

Something else come out.

Yeah.

I got them boys working till the awards.

They're not going to.

Yeah.

I think that they're going to stop.

I think they're working for something different.

I believe them when they say, I want a Grammy.

Yes, I want a Grammy.

Yeah, it's not cheap to me.

It means something.

It means a lot.

I could see it.

You don't get this close to having the A-ball in the corner.

And I think they're going to get it.

I think they are, too.

I've been to that.

I think they're going to get it.

Deserve is a different question.

And I think they deserve it.

But I'm just saying, people may have their own opinions about what the best album is, but they clearly have the narrative.

They got the rollout.

They got the presentation.

And they got an amazing album.

And they're putting the album everywhere.

So, like, even, I know the voting board changed on the Grammys, but still, even if you didn't catch some of the other, you're going to see them somewhere.

And this goes a long way toward winning it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's going to be great.

Yeah, no.

Shout out to the clips.

That's powerful.

Powerful.

And who on their album has a song to do at the Vatican?

Word.

That part is.

That matters.

That part is fly to me.

That matters.

You could go to 90% of the rappers right now and say you're performing at the Vatican.

They need to hear the song first, send it to to us.

They ain't got one.

Yo, Coke on the stove.

Yeah, they ain't.

Kill your body nigga in the face.

Hey.

It's Ice favorite song.

It's not.

Shot that nigga in the face.

It's not.

By MC did it again.

It's not.

Speaking of ICE favorites.

MC, I'm not innocent.

Well, speaking of ice favorites, Jeezy had the final show of his tour in Detroit.

Looks amazing.

But the beautiful part about that was Jeezy announced a new album dropping next Friday and a Vegas residency.

I am excited.

G-Z fans, we're all excited.

It's Jeezy and Drama again, and they don't miss.

That album is going to be crazy.

I'm sure that Detroit show was crazy.

It looked single me when it went out there and had three threesomes.

Same album.

Detroit showed out.

Like they looked, because they live streamed it.

Oh, they did?

Yeah, they live streamed it.

Oh, shit.

I'm not missing it.

And even that, yo.

Time to go to Vegas.

Live streamed it.

Even that move, live streamed it on his YouTube channel, had 30,000 in there the whole show.

Oh, wow.

We're going to Vegas.

Let's go.

You know, we're going to Vegas for a Jeezy residency.

Making a night of it.

That would be fly.

That's a light-skinned shit.

This ain't what I was expecting.

Let me see.

He used to look like powder.

Yeah.

Holly C.

Oh, y'all are disrespectful as hell.

Does that change how you receive the information that he gives?

Not at all.

It just makes his joke a lot funnier.

Man, leave that man alone.

Yeah, yeah.

Everybody's not smooth like you, nigga.

Oh, man.

Leave him alone, bro.

Go out there and do what he's doing, man.

For Newark, Newark.

For Newark.

Well, this apartment right here,

this course.

Let me go inside.

Hey, yo, a Drake record, unreleased record came out, Joe.

Yeah, I sent it to the group chat.

I liked it.

What you doing?

And I said, how is it?

And nobody said nothing.

Yeah, nobody did nothing.

That told me everything I needed to know.

I like the record.

You don't like it for it?

I know.

I saw you tweet about it.

I liked it too.

I'm just saying.

Nobody's calling it.

I like the record.

What'd you like about it?

I like what he was saying.

I like the beat.

I like what he was saying.

You know what I mean?

I thought he was in this bag.

I'm just tired of it.

This is DeMar de Rosenbus.

This

is what they're calling it.

I'm tired of it.

I know he's going to keep doing it, and I understand it, but I am tired of the

such and such turned they back on me.

I don't fuck with such and such no more because y'all not loyal like i get it i don't give me something different at this point now in his defense it's a leak light skin hurt different though man it's a leak so i'm not i can't i can't i can only take it with a grain of salt it's a leak if this was a single if this is on an album i'm gonna treat it differently it's a leak now how that leak came out different conversations who knows you hurt a light-skinned guy

They're gonna let you know.

It's like the next 40 years you got to deal with their tears and they fucking cockamate sensitive

it's another word for it too I can't say but you guys are such bitches

you guys make me want to get a spray tan

and jump in you guys make me want to hit the tanning salon on you niggas

light-skinned sensitive fucking jerks

and Scorpios just ain't good people either

light-skinned Scorpio

with stomach sculpted.

Hey, I'm saving my commentary on Drake and Cardi.

Got it.

That's my list.

Got it.

That's my list.

We can tell.

I'm saving my commentary on Drake and Cardi until music is released and I have something of substance that's objective to offer.

There we go.

That's fair.

That is fair.

Yo, that's what we need more of.

Update on Lil Nas X.

I know a lot of you were worried about him, especially up here.

We were.

He's doing

much better.

That's good here.

According to his team,

he's in patient care.

He's getting treatment,

which means that he's recovering from whatever he was dealing with.

They didn't say like drug treatment.

They didn't say mental health treatment.

I suspect it's.

Did you pose a picture?

Not from the treatment.

Did they reach out to you directly?

I did get a press release.

I did get a press release sent to me.

That's how I know.

But no pictures were attached.

But if they do, I'll send it to you.

I wonder what the Markle Mutt Hill mailing list

looks like.

It's ridiculous.

It's a weird hodgepodge.

But hopefully, he'll be okay.

Hopefully, this will help him in his court case because a lot of times when you do, when you see the press release like this for inpatient treatment, drugs, mental health, you're hoping to avoid jail time because he's been accused of assaulting a police officer.

And so to say, I was out of my mind or I was high, and I'm getting treatment for it.

It's usually the way out.

Got it.

Yeah.

So I wish him luck in that.

Okay.

As do I.

Yeah, yeah.

Good luck.

Thoughts and prayers from the whole crew.

Tease and peace.

Tease and peace from the whole crew.

Tees and Peace.

Joe, tell me about Saweetie, man.

Oh, man, Saweetie.

Yeah, I heard you had Sweetie up there.

You and Park's favorite rapper.

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

I love Saweetie, too, man.

I've been liking a couple of the pictures.

I saw you liked it.

I saw you liked it.

I saw you liked it.

Okay.

Little joint with me.

What an astute observation.

No.

Lil Joint with Nashville was looking, you know what I mean?

As soon as I see that,

you send them my way, fam.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's what happens.

Yeah, that's what it is.

That's how they get your way.

Yeah, that's what happens.

I send them.

Can I do your doc?

Can't do my nothing.

Can I please?

Can I do your doc?

Because

you don't need your doc rights because you ain't going to do it.

Can I do your documentary?

For real.

You looking crazy.

I loved in the Charlie Sheen doc.

Oh, you finally watched it.

I did watch the Charlie Sheen doc.

I like in the open how he says.

And all of these things that we're about to talk about, there's only one person that knows the answer.

And they just flashed on all the people in his life that are going to know the answer.

They got everybody.

New wife, ex-wife, old wife, the daughter popped up.

The drug dealer was here.

Everybody.

Your best friend from when you were six.

Sean Penn.

Sean Penn is here.

Slash.

Pops and brother didn't show up, though.

Yeah, they said, nah, fuck out of here.

Billy Westburn said, nah, dog.

Now, that was my main, one of my main takeaways.

Damn, my fucking ADD kicking in, though.

Was we supposed to talk about this?

We was talking about Sweetie, but it was cool.

We can do this.

Sweetie, Sweetie, we can get back to Sweetie.

One of my main takeaways from this is

shout out to Martin Sheen.

What a dad.

Oh, yeah.

The entire story.

At just any spot you wanted to pick, he had to pop up and be like a dad.

Yeah, even when he was like 40.

Yeah.

50.

Even when he was lit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was still lit.

And I got to keep showing up, keep showing up, keep showing up, keep showing up.

But

I have a spot in my heart for that because I feel like my moms did some of that with me and my brother.

But when the parents just keep showing up, keep showing up, in spite of just you.

Oh, I love that.

Go Martin Sheen.

Go Martin Sheen.

But if I did all that and then you called me years later to come and talk, I'm denying that call.

I'm not picking up on Martin.

Sometimes I've been to court for your bubbass.

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Yo,

the one, though,

I forget my man's name, but the co-star in Two and a Half Men.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I don't remember his name either.

Yeah,

journalism.

The cold star.

I don't remember his name.

Y'all know who I'm talking about, but co-star.

The co-star.

What killer?

Dogs.

He hate that nigga.

He tried every which way to try to say it without saying it.

He absolutely hated it.

John Cryer.

Yeah, there we go.

Go Parks.

Yeah.

Salute.

Journalism.

Journalism.

Journalism.

That was your back.

You're supposed to know.

I was about to say.

What's up?

But nah, he tried to be as politically correct as possible.

He absolutely hated Son.

That shit was hilarious to me.

And it's so common, too.

People work together like that, like in on like sets where the co where the co-like the like.

When you the fuck up and you making more money than me.

Yeah, exactly.

And you fuck the show up.

You can do whatever you want.

Y'all want me to come talk about this nigga?

And they're like, fuck that guy.

Fuck him.

Yeah.

Talk about the definition of failing failing up.

What?

Talk about.

This guy just failed up and up and up.

This guy, I think, only went on one audition.

Maybe one in that possible.

And fucked that up.

Yeah.

And just kept getting gigs, rolls falling in his lap.

Yeah.

At no point, I think in the first gig, they told him,

They were going over lines.

And

the pop father was like, yeah, go in there and do that.

And do nothing.

He told him do nothing.

Do nothing.

He didn't even understand the concept of acting when he was acting.

Yeah.

He was almost a karate kid, but he had a headache or some shit.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, Pops was like,

you gave your word over here.

You got to keep your word.

That was the right decision, too, by the way.

It was.

I know at the time you don't think that, but we don't know Karate Kid from nothing else but Karate Kid.

Cobra Kai.

Yeah, no, the point he made was.

The point he made, he was like, yo.

It never gave him the chance to go out and do anything else.

He was stuck.

And he was right.

I only thought Karate Kid was tough when I couldn't fight.

Because I was a big bad man, yo.

The second I learned how to fight them movies was out the water.

Sorry.

Yo, boy.

Karate Kid almost got me fucked up.

I tried to do that shit to fight.

I tried to do this shit.

That nigga grabbed my leg, spun me around, full Nelson.

Playing around.

What's up already?

Yeah.

But I mean, what else?

What else?

What else did I walk away with from this shit?

Oh, just the difference when you got like

a woman in your life who loves you for real, for real, and then you leave her and then go get with the local crackhead that

you're going to have a good time with.

That was the other part.

His first wife loved him, yeah.

The wife, the actress, wife, I forgot her name,

Denise Richards.

Famously, hooked together housewives.

You say Denise Richards nigga like she should be on my white shit.

She should be back in the day.

She was

her.

Elite, elite milk.

That's not true.

They fuck black girls.

Don't fucking do it.

Don't tell me I'm going to white.

Don't even do it.

Don't tell me.

I'm not doing that.

Don't do it again.

I'm not trying to have a white girl moment with you, nigga.

Get out of here.

Denise Richards.

Anyway.

Wild things is that shit.

What?

No, she looks great.

I'm talking shit to this shit.

But no, she looked great.

She looked great.

She looked better with no lips.

I don't know why she wouldn't do that to her lips.

Yeah, a lot of you.

You didn't need lips, Denise Richards.

You didn't need lips.

But But anyway, she really loved him and was there for him, holding him down, feeding him with escorts coming from upstairs.

Men out there, we make that mistake so much.

We can't lead a girl who really love us for the local hookah crackhead from around the block, around the corner that's going to fucking have a good time with us.

Solid advice.

I didn't even like how he started doing crack with shooting, the new girl.

First of all, they put that girl on my TV, and she was still high.

For sure.

For sure.

That girl was high as a kite.

Her nose was crooked.

Her eye was, she had some biggie, small shit going on on her eye.

She kept twitching.

I'm looking at my girl.

I'm like, yo, she's high.

She's high now.

She's high right now.

She said they was begging seven grand rocks.

Jesus.

Fully.

Fully.

Fully.

Not to save.

Not saving something.

Fully.

She looked like she had it on her right then and there during the confessional.

Smelt like it for sure, for sure.

Yeah, she didn't smell good.

But niggas, we got to stop making that mistake.

We got to stop making that mistake.

Well, we got to find better people to sell crack to.

What?

What the fuck are you talking about?

Yo, what?

Nah, that drug dealer was getting some money off Charlie.

What the fuck are you talking about?

He got a whole new place.

He got a whole new apartment and shit like that.

Well, that's the other part.

Even how he met the drug dealer.

The drug dealer, fresh out of jail, going to obey the law now.

I'm leaving my life a crime behind.

Charlie Sheen just called him.

He didn't know who it was.

Yo, who's this?

Charlie Sheen.

Now, you shitting me.

No, it's me.

No way.

It's really me.

I need that.

I need it.

All of it.

Put him back in the game.

Yeah.

He did.

Yeah.

How he met the drug dealer was funny.

How they weaned him off drugs was funny.

That was the craziest.

That's the craziest shit.

They started putting less coke in the crowd.

You got to step on your shit, man.

You got to get him off this shit.

Fuck what, nigga.

More bacon soda.

They cut his crack so much, Charlie Sheen lost faith in all of crack.

He thought he smoked all the crack.

He thought, yo, that's my time, crack.

We had a blast.

He didn't even go.

He didn't go try to find other crack.

Yo, shit, don't get me high no more, dog.

Crack, man.

Shit don't work no more.

Do you know how much crack you had to have done?

Seven gram rocks.

Yo, plural.

Dog, to think you outgrew the crack.

Yo,

Yo, that's hilarious.

Yo, no, he thought he beat the game.

I know

He said goodbye to all the crack

That's what told me something is off about dude dude went to go talk to Slash

The rocker slash

And Slash had to say

man, you got a problem

get yourself some help.

Oh, that was my other takeaway too.

I didn't know Nicholas Cage was wilding like that.

I had no clue.

I had no clue.

He's up there on my rebrand list now.

I didn't know that.

I had no clue.

I had no clue.

This nigga been bugging.

I feel like I only know that because I've seen some doc before that spoke about this same childhood crew.

Nah, I seen some shit where Nicholas Cage was one of the hottest niggas in Hollywood.

Then he just fell off the planet.

You call Ice ugly.

You call the Vegas dude ugly, but you think Nicholas Cage is hot.

I don't mean hot like

hot.

Like popularity.

Remember, that nigga was in mad movies back to back to back.

So he just fell off.

But do you think he's hot?

No.

Is he your type?

No.

See, that's ice playing.

That's your new agro.

I wasn't playing with you.

That's your new agros playing with you.

Oh, man.

Hill he is.

I ain't playing with you like that.

No,

dog.

Could you imagine what it was like to be rich, famous, and white in Hollywood in the 80s?

Oh, his favorite dream.

See, not that look.

I'm playing with you.

Look, look, look.

No, we haven't imagined that.

What say you?

You probably did.

You probably did.

Speaking of rich and white and famous, Robert Redford

passed away.

Rest in peace.

Oh, rest in peace.

One of the great actors of the 20th century.

Yes, 89 years old.

He lived a long life.

Obviously, my favorite role for a lot of people with favorite role is black people.

And is Godfather.

Decent proposal.

I would say Godfather.

Oh, really?

Sting, nigga.

That's your favorite role for you?

Yeah, Sting was that shit, yeah.

Oh, then I'm wrong.

For me, it's Godfather.

Him as Tom Hagen for me was

the most important role for me.

But he's had so many.

You can name 10 movies of his and say that they're all classics.

I mean, he's an extraordinary actor, and he was a sex symbol of the 80s.

He was loved,

and he had good politics.

He was actually a good dude that seemed to be on the right side of a lot of issues.

You're the bagger?

Oh, yeah.

I'll tap that for sure.

I'll tap that, man.

You gotta be a good man.

That's your man.

Come on, girl.

I'm gonna relax.

That's where y'all draw the line?

Steal like that.

All right.

Here we go.

I found it.

Oh, no, no, no.

You hold up for a second, Stephen A.

That's a fire suit, Stephen A.

Got on.

Sweetie sat with Nessa

and talked about something called pretty punishment, which is the opposite of pretty privilege.

Okay.

I bookmarked the clip just to play it for a misogynist Roman mark.

That's not fear.

Ice is not that either.

That's not fear to any of us, actually.

I'll take that back, you guys.

To play it for an immature room.

Here we go.

Talk about it, man.

Do you feel like the industry has tried to count you out?

Like, since I started,

talk about it, man.

Because I think people, look, to be honest, people see you're gorgeous.

You're getting endless bags.

You are, listen, that girl, right?

I don't think they understand how many doors, how many rejections, how many, how many, how many times people have counted you out.

I saw it on TikTok.

They were like, they talk about pretty privilege, but they don't talk about pretty punishment.

There's been so many times I've just been counted out, and I know that it's behind animosity.

I know it's because of a hidden agenda, but it makes me work harder.

But this has happened like my whole life.

So it's like what I deal with in the industry is just different face and case.

Ooh.

She sounds like this.

What I've been going through, man, in this game.

Because I had green eyes and a long time.

And I'm pretty.

I'm handsome.

What do y'all think, man?

Yeah, speak on it.

He always looked act surprised.

Somebody would compare me to Sweetie.

No, no.

No, no,

nigga.

Yeah, nigga, you big.

Sweet, nigga.

Yeah, yeah, nigga.

Fuck you, yelling ass.

Stupid ass.

He not playing.

What do you think about what you said?

I think she probably has some validity there.

I do it.

Have you ever suffered pretty punishment?

I don't think so.

Come on.

Come on, ish.

Come on, sure you have.

What's cool?

What's cool?

That you think that.

No, I'm saying, man, all jokes aside, you know motherfuckers be jealous of somebody that they think is attractive

or that they think get

privileges from whatever it may be.

It don't got to necessarily be pretty, but I'm sure some people hate them just because they're attractive.

Makes sense.

Mark?

Because I ain't about to say nothing.

Here's what I think about this.

I think everything Ish said is true.

And it's not so much, however, it's also, I think it's less interesting to me.

I'm sure there's some shit that happens to rich people just because they're rich, and it's unfortunate.

I'm sure there's some shit that happens to seven-footers and people with really big dicks or whatever.

It's like everybody's got their plight.

But I'm just saying, like,

who cares?

What do you think be happening to me?

Really big dicks.

I I don't know it.

What do you think?

Let us know what happens to the business.

What do you think be happening to the niggas, though?

You don't care?

Dress up.

I know y'all don't know.

This is what I'm saying.

This is what I'm saying.

I'm saying that anything comes with a downside.

But if the upside is so big, I hate to hear people complain about it.

Let's compare pretty privileged to pretty whatever the chip was.

Yeah, that's all I'm saying.

It's like the jeans you wear don't point to niggas.

Oh my shit.

You know what I mean?

DJ just ain't gonna diss us and keep it pushing.

That was my plan.

Fuck.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just saying, it's like what light-skinned people do the same thing, right?

They say, you know, that sometimes they get treated poorly because they're light-skinned.

And I'm sure it's true, but it's like, I don't want to hear about tragic mulattoes.

You know, it's like, it's like, it's all true, but like, I don't care.

That's just my opinion.

What'd you just say?

That's your man.

That's your man, Parks.

Tragic what?

Tragic mulattoes.

You ever heard of the tragic?

It's like a literary trope.

It's like like a never mind.

No, you know who you're talking to, nigga.

We don't know.

I know.

I lied.

That's why I said, never mind.

It's fair.

Once he gets the book club started,

all about it.

I can't wait for the Joe Budden book club.

Neither can I.

What's the first book gonna be, Joe?

How to win an argument.

Oh, that's a good book.

That's a real book.

No, it is.

That's a good book.

By Mehedi Hassan.

He got me.

Yeah.

He got me.

I was watching the interview with his.

I agree with some of the things he said.

Oh, they're going to put me on the list.

Why the book club, though?

That's a dope.

I'm just curious.

It's fine.

Because I was fucking getting a haircut, and my barber said, Well, I said, I'm going to buy this book.

He said, Buy me one.

We should start a book club.

And it was awkward silence.

Just like that.

That's all it takes.

Because my thing at this age is not committing to things that I know I'm not going to read.

One a month.

You're going to read one a month.

So I asked him,

what is a book club?

What's dope?

And he said, well, in short, it's

a couple people

get a book, read the same book, and get together and talk about it.

And I said, oh, I can do that.

I can do that.

So, like, if it was all of us, Corey would go first, or then Poe, then Parks, and everybody picks a book one a month, or whatever the frequency is, and then you just read it and talk about it.

Well, thank you for repeating exactly what

it's not what you said.

Goofy.

Oh, shit, it's what you're talking about.

It's not what you said.

Calm down, nigga.

I'm calm down.

Get off me, man.

You cook?

Bitch, what happened, man?

I'm chilling.

Can we fail, baby?

I'm going to leave me at all.

This isn't that pretty punishment.

I'm about to say the pretty bunny.

It's a punishment, nigga.

Slice skin.

Yeah.

Parks.

Yes.

Have you ever suffered pretty punishment?

Unfortunately, not.

And if I have, the pretty privileged, I'll weigh it.

So I just look past it.

Talk your shit.

You was jealous.

When people are really attractive, it does make it difficult for the rest of the world to look them in the face and eyes and say,

yo, what the fuck are you talking about?

You ever just look some...

When the last time you looked at somebody that was gorgeous and just said, yo, I have not a clue what the fuck you're talking about right now.

It's tough, right?

It's really hard.

I've only started doing it in recent years.

Sweetie, sweetie,

I don't doubt that doors are being closed because you're beautiful.

If I were a betting man, I would bet more doors have been opened because you're beautiful,

which makes it tough one two

sweetie sweetie

plenty of ugly people in music are failing like it ain't just something that like artists sometimes have to deal with things as as just an artist

and i know sometimes we lean on our strong suit to say all right they may be using that to pick on me uh like uh

i feel weird even just continuing to talk about this honestly I do.

No, you don't.

I do.

Because I like Sweetie.

Me too.

And she should reserve.

She has the right to feel however she wants to feel about her situation.

I heard plenty of people coming up talking about it was black ball.

There wasn't a black ball anywhere in their basketball court.

Like, you can think what you want.

So, but it's a talent thing then.

I would, if I was Sweetie and her team, I would get together.

There's a bunch of other things that could be before I would start attacking the pretty punishment aspect of it, is all I'm saying.

I'm so pretty, I'm kicked out of entertainment.

It seems worth a wild take.

Yeah.

I'm not saying she's saying that, but I'm saying that would be the logical extension of it.

Yeah,

I'm with y'all.

I'm with y'all.

Speaking of, I mean,

I don't want to be that guy because I love sweetie.

You're not that guy.

Great.

You could never be that guy.

Great.

We did see your battle with the teleprompter.

Oh, that guy, you are.

If you're being that guy, you are.

Sometimes the font's a little tricky.

I'm just saying.

So it could be other things that they may say.

And let's not call her.

That's all I'm saying.

It might not just be because you're beautiful.

You know how we fix this?

Bigger font.

Book club.

Oh, got it.

Huh?

Times.

That's an invite to the book club.

And it costs a lot of money to get a girl rocking.

It costs a lot of money to get a girl up and going with momentum.

I know.

Somebody that looks like her?

Yes.

Do it cost more money with somebody that looks like her or

somebody that don't look like her?

I mean, I would say someone that that looks like didn't she beat a nigga with a bat on um

bmf i must i must have missed that episode unfortunately

right

she smacked a nigga with a bat i think on bmf

so she anyway yo it's cool

i'm sure she did really good at that exactly that's my point

Do you see what pretty privilege gets you?

Like, we got to tippy toe around this shit because you're beautiful and niggas don't want to say what it might really be.

No, I'm tiptoeing because she's young and beautiful.

Okay.

Like she's a young, young girl.

And you don't want to discourage, you don't want to discourage anybody.

I don't want to discourage her.

I don't.

She can get out there and do something.

The girls had a run for however many years.

They do.

If I were any woman rapping during that run that wasn't getting the light that I thought I should get, I would take it back to my team.

Like, clearly, it's possible it could happen.

All these girls are doing it.

In your mind.

It always goes back to the music.

It's always to the...

If you're a musician, before we get to the other million things it could be, you have to attack the music first.

It has to be the music.

Joe, in your mind, as you being who you are, are you able to see the formula that she needs to go to the next level?

Hey, when you start turning a Tyron Gumble.

Oh, you like when your man do it, though, right?

Yeah, I do like when your men do it.

Yeah, you bitch ass fan.

Don't touch me, don't touch me.

But no, repeat the question.

In your mind,

do you know the iron?

Do you know the formula that she needs in order to go to the next level?

No.

You don't.

No, I don't.

I don't.

But if I had to guess, it would start with the music.

Starts the music.

Why are you looking on a dumb in the face?

I like when I had that last record.

I mean, she could go another way.

She's fine enough to be able to go another way, but she could do it another way.

I just said she beat a nigga with a bat, nigga.

What are you talking about?

Yo, dog, looking at how you look, you don't have to be the best actress in the world.

She gonna get parts.

If her team is putting her in the right position, she gonna get get roles and parts.

Um, let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see.

Do y'all want to get into the Emmys?

Uh, and Homeboy from Severance, uh, first black guy to win supporting, supporting actor with the Emmys.

Yeah, let me hit the round of applause.

Come on, man, journalism.

What's his name?

There we go, there we go.

His name is Tramel Tillman.

He is great.

And he is great.

Congratulations to him.

That is all I know from the Emmys.

One thing that was very funny funny about the Emmys is they did a counter.

You saw that?

That was funny.

The host, someone's going to be a journalist here while I talked to him.

Talk Nate.

Damn, I love him.

He's a comedian.

Nate Burgaz.

He's a comedian.

He's very funny.

Anyway, at the beginning, he said, I'm going to donate $100,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of America if

no one goes over their time.

If you go over your time, we take off $1,000 for every second you go over your time.

But if you go under your time, we'll put money back on.

Okay.

Some people gave him a hard time about that.

I thought it was pretty clever.

I thought that was super funny.

And he ended up, we kind of knew this was going to come because what happened was it was very much in the red.

He's like, actually, the boy and girl club is going to owe me some money after this.

He ended up donating, I think, $300,000 or something like that out of his pocket at the end of it all.

But it was a funny trope throughout the awards.

I found it to be hilarious.

That's dope.

And of course, my favorite one I picked up on it was Hannah Einbender.

Sure.

Yeah, you know, she said, you know, like...

Oh, I thought that was a clip.

As she accepted the the award, she kind of acknowledged she was going over and said, like, you know, I'll pay the, I'll pay the cost.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

And then she screamed out.

When I screamed out, she said,

yeah, go, go, Eagles, go, birds, fuck ice, free Palestine, which was great, which is dope.

So I appreciated the shout out.

I always appreciate when people are courageous at award shows.

And I thought it was funny.

So good for her.

I don't know what y'all are laughing at.

We're going down.

Hey, Mark, make sure

to get at least one per episode in there.

I love this guy.

Yo.

He itched to do it, too.

And so you said, front.

Like, double dutch.

And so you said, puff.

I got a park.

Patrick.

It was the biggest story for the Emmy.

He be ready.

You got to see.

I love that about you, though.

You stick to your cause, not to your cause, but to the cause of.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So Molly's gone or leaving.

Wait, hold on, hold on.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Somali.

The pit cleaned up.

Somali.

Yeah, Adolescence cleaned up, which I love.

I think that they could have probably snuck a couple Jokers or Penguins in there.

I think Penguin was a little bit underrepresented.

They were all about Penguin, yo.

They were a little bit underrepresented.

Penguin was good as shit.

Penguin was fire.

And it was great.

But Adolescence was also fantastic.

Homeboy, the dude from Adolescence won, right?

The kid won.

The main dude

won.

And he was also, I think he was a producer and director, maybe writer even on the show.

That show actually thought Penguin won a lot, Paul.

They won a couple, but not maybe as many as some people would have liked.

Colin should have won.

Okay, Colin kicked ass in Penguin, fan.

And the beer didn't win anything, right?

No, I don't know if they did.

13 nominations.

The Seth Rogan show, the studio, cleaned up.

I haven't watched the episode yet.

I'm going to start because I guess it's good.

Well, congratulations to all of the winners.

That's right.

Kendrick got another one.

That's the only thing I saw.

And the people nominated.

Yeah, and the people that were nominated.

Kendrick got an ME set?

Yeah.

For the

Super Bowl performance.

Super Bowl.

The second one.

That's what we had it, right?

They're going to reward him till 2030, boy.

Word.

What a classic

belt to ass.

What a classic ass would be.

Emmy off the shit, though.

It's an all-timer.

Yeah.

No, Lego.

He's just going to keep finding shit to get me.

Not like us, the Broadway player.

The Broadway play.

It's a ton.

Not like us.

Word.

Yeah, Yeah, it's kind of.

Oh, my lord.

Word.

Okay, Mark.

Molly, Molly Quirm.

Yeah, it's been announced that she will be leaving First Take, and it sounds like the entire network, ESPN, by the way, of the calendar year.

It says, Molly has been an integral part of ESPN since 2006 and a key driver of First Take success since joining as host a decade ago.

She elevated the show with her poise, skill, and professionalism while supporting others as a kind and encouraging teammate.

We respect Molly's decision, wish her the best in the future, and thank her for her extraordinary daily commitment to sports fans and ESPN.

That comes from Burke Magnus, the president of content at ESPN.

And that is the politically correct way to do things.

That's what it's going to make.

However,

we want the T.

Right.

And what we have from the T is they offered her a contract.

She declined it.

And we have not heard from her since.

I turned First Take on yesterday morning.

There was no sign of her and Stephen A gave some sort of an address.

I'd like to hear it.

Here it goes.

That's here.

Not only.

Good morning and welcome to First Take.

Normally our friend Molly Caram would greet you.

However, Molly announced last night she will be departing from ESPN.

She's hosted First Take for 10 years and elevated the show with her grace, her expertise, an uncomparable kindness.

She's been an enormous part of our success for a decade.

Not only did she keep me and many others in line, she did it with dignity and class and kindness to say the least.

We'll miss her and wish her every blessing on her future.

I personally am grateful to her for her friendship, and I will miss spending every weekday morning with her right by my side.

Now that's how that's done.

What did you say, Mark?

Taking notes on that?

Am I taking notes on that?

If one of us were to depart to be able to write something like that, I thought this was very well said if that's what you're asking.

Yeah, Stephen A does a great job with that, man.

I had no worries.

You know, because a lot of times...

Yeah.

When you do that studded thing, he gives you away.

That's you on bullshit.

I was not going to tell you.

Nigga, I was asked a question.

You got such a messy little bit.

Wait, really?

Now you're here.

He's awake now.

Would you do it like that?

If one of us get up out of here?

I would do it with less class, but I like the way that.

Hey, Flip, you motherfucker.

You've been a thorn in my ass.

But what do we think?

I mean, I think they low-balled her.

Yeah, I think this is the case.

I don't think she's happy about it.

19 years is a long time to be at a network.

And TV years, that's like forever.

Yes, forever.

So sometimes that means that.

She was getting coffee for 12 of those years.

I hate when you niggas do that.

They try to do that too.

She was here since 06.

She was in the donut shop.

I mean, you know, even that is hard to it's a lot because it's younger donut getters, you know what I mean?

And in a business where you tend to age out, especially for women,

one of the bosses came

in.

Oh my god, this nigga back.

Moving on, she let me say holler himself.

Molly, hey, y'all, y'all know.

Hey, hey, one of the bosses came in and loved those.

No, that's not right.

Stop.

Molly is an exception.

Molly is an exceptional journalist and did a great job on First Again.

And again, she was there for a lifetime, which says a lot because, again, they will replace you.

They will swap you out two years, five years.

Particularly for women, a lot of times they get younger people.

They get, you know, because they use you as ornaments a lot of times.

She was one of the few people, I think, that actually was able to leave a footprint.

on one of these shows where a lot of times it's two dudes arguing with each other and a woman is just there to to kind of keep the trains running on on time.

She actually was able to weigh in, and we got more of her input than most people.

And I think it's a testament to her talent.

So I'm excited to see what happens next for her.

You know, whether it's a podcast, whether it's a new network, whether it's her own thing somewhere else.

I'm curious to know what it looks like, but I wish her nothing but the best.

That's one thing I got to give Mark.

You're going to always look good standing next to me, boy.

I ain't going to lie.

Hey,

whatever you say,

yes, let's go with that one.

Hey, that was great.

I wasn't thinking nothing like that.

You thought this was pretty punishment?

Oh,

pretty punishment.

I liked Molly, man.

Molly was great, man.

Molly was talking shit, but I really did believe her.

I enjoyed her.

And I liked when she disagreed with some of the shit that Steven and them was saying.

I like when she would tell a producer, y'all hold up a second.

Like, she did a good job running that show.

She did.

She did.

Do you think Joe, because again, if they made a lobo offer after 19 years the other piece to that to me is that she um

they do that to make you leave they make you offer that you they know you won't take to make you leave um that's typically what they do at this stage in your career do you do you think people age out of network jobs do you think there's a moment where or do you think depends on on the network particularly for sports

no okay so you're okay because some people said that with pam oliver too they've done it with james brown where they're like yo we just tired of it we need we want somebody i think there's a resurgence of young

female voices in sports.

And I think that recently just started happening with the Taylor Rooks's and

Lika Andrews's.

And that's a recent thing.

But typically, I don't see those people, see people age out

of sports.

Yeah.

Like

Peter Vesey.

Leslie Visser.

It's a bunch of people.

Sports is still one of those places where

the journalists are thriving.

The people that have been writing for this newspaper newspaper for X amount of years, it's usually gendered.

It's usually like dudes can be old doing a job, but they often want younger

women next to them.

I also think that your sports knowledge is relevant.

So you can replace me with a pretty face, but they can't necessarily sit with the fellas and talk sports jargon in a conversation.

That other shit is valuable, bro.

Like, again, that's why me and you was having a Doris Burke take.

Like, Doris Burke sits there and talks basketball like she's been around basketball for 40 fucking years.

She's a basketball person.

You can't just replace her with somebody young that can't necessarily speak about the game in a manner in which she does.

So I don't think that that is.

ESPN's been shaking shit up for the last couple of years now, too.

So, I mean, it's kind of falls in line with that to me.

Yeah, that's true.

It's tough with ESPN because there's only one competitor.

Like, if you lose a job at CNN, you can go to MS.

I mean, there's like, you can name a list of people to go to.

If you lose a job at ESPN, that's so scary.

FS1 is kind of the only other place to go, which then leaves you in a fucked up bargaining position.

I don't think that's true.

Say more.

I mean, everybody has a sports leg.

There's Fox Sports, there's CBS sports,

barstool.

Oh, you're talking about the

other places.

You're not just stuck between FS1 and college shit.

College volume.

I was thinking like TV network.

I'm talking about like network jobs.

And like CBS and ABC and all of them have sports wings, but that's like when they're, like, ESPN is 24-7, so there's a lot of jobs.

FS1 is 24-7, there's a lot of jobs.

CBS sports, you got to be on a football show or now basketball show.

And they they don't usually have that many openings for hosts.

You know what I mean?

You're right.

I mean, those jobs do exist.

It's just such a small job.

But if they're fucking everybody up there, then why would you want there to be,

why would you want to go through

the same TV network hassle, right?

Like, and by now, we've seen ESPN fire you for everything.

Yeah.

For your political opinion, for your non-political opinion,

for, I'm not going to go through their whole sleuth because they've lost a lot of people.

And sadly, we haven't heard from many of them after that.

And that's the point that he's making.

That's the fear.

That's the point he's making.

I can go to these other places.

Yeah, but today,

there's fucking, today, even while you work in your network job, and again, I hate to sound like a broken record, but you also have to go home and do your side job.

Yeah.

Like many of these sports expert people, they go home and do their show.

But

there's two former Sports Center

anchors from LA, Sports Center LA, who left ESPN, and then they got together and started their own shit doing it on Twitch.

And it was like,

you talking about my man, I love him.

I forget his name right now.

Neil and Stan.

You could do that, but if you've been, and this is the problem with

when you worked in corporate and you got a check, that is what they are accustomed to.

So I'm sure Molly was making seven figures at ESPN.

Getting a check under that specific structure for the last 20 years it's not so easy for somebody to just up and go and start a podcast or start doing these other things like that's just something that may not be in a wheelhouse now desperation or or circumstance will make you do those things but that's just not something that they could just go to another network like Marcus said if you're accustomed to being an accountant and you worked at

wherever you get fired guess what you're gonna do jump back and look to go get another accountant job right when you work in specific fields like ESPN FS1, there's not that many takers.

So when they know you just got fired from ESPN, now FS1 could lowball you and say you won't work.

Although we are seeing expansion, like even we saw Max this weekend on the fight at Netflix.

So there's places like Netflix.

He's always in boxing.

He's always done that, yeah.

I know, for sure.

But it's been a while since he's been there.

And again, there's a new place for him to do this.

And also to reply to you, whoever said it would be easy.

That's who.

Who cares that it's not easy?

I think if you're looking at the economy as an American, there should be very few Americans that are just comfortable and feel okay with getting a check.

Actually, we should be at an all-time high on alerts on just getting our check.

That's that Dave Dash talked to me.

That's not what I'm trying to say.

I'm not saying Dave Dash at all.

I'm not trying to say that.

What I'm saying is

there's too many businesses going under.

Nobody knows the state of their employers.

They fucked up out there.

If you just get a check and you comfortable, well, to the people that may have not understood, if you're getting a check and you're comfortable, then your brain is in the wrong place.

Everybody should be thinking about what they're doing with the check that they're getting and how long that check is going to last.

That's real.

That's where everybody's brain should be.

I don't think it's a bad message to tell anybody to, especially if you're talking about the volume and what he's doing.

He signed the New Deal with Hard Rock or somebody.

If you're just watching what people are doing,

yeah, you should be building your own shit no matter what field you're in.

Like, I'm not even just talking to content people.

When I went to NBC to do whatever NBC shit I was doing up there for some show,

I remember having a good talk with God of War.

Jay Will.

That's what I was about to.

Not God of War.

Uh-huh.

Not God of War.

That wasn't NBC.

That was somewhere else.

You all the jerks.

But I remember Jay Will was up there auditioning, too, and me and him talked.

I've had this talk with so many people.

Jay Will, what's my man out?

Roy?

Is it Rory?

Not Roy Roy Wood.

Roy something new.

Roy Wood Jr.

Roy Wood Jr.

I love it.

So many people I've just seen, and they big me up because of what I'm doing, but then they get into the plight of what they've been doing working for networks for 10, 15, 20, 25 years, and then one day that could just go.

Go.

Yeah.

Storymark.

And that's not comfortable to me.

Yeah.

I mean, if you really want to know what the driving force is behind my work ethic, it's just somebody taking shit away.

Right.

Same.

That don't feel good.

That don't feel good at all.

This shit is nerve-wracking.

If you've been there enough, you never want it to happen to you again.

So I forgot

how we started this talk.

Who's Molly?

Molly.

Molly.

Oh, Molly.

I hope Molly does well wherever she goes.

I'm pretty sure she will.

She's a pro.

And with all of the different

avenues now, like streaming and shit with the games, because now it ain't just ESPN.

It's everywhere.

Fucking Amazon.

And everybody and their mother got one of the games somewhere or another.

So it's a little bit, the doors kind of open a little bit more opportunity.

For sure.

So hopefully.

Molly, I wish you nothing but the best.

And if you come out with a tell-all book, this is what's happening behind the scenes at ESPN, I will certainly add it to the book club.

That'd be the second book.

You know, they got them NDAs over there, though.

The NDAs be hard at ESPN.

Yeah, yeah, no.

It's true.

Yeah.

It's true.

Marcellus Wiley don't seem to care.

He just keeps sharing.

All right, what else needs our attention?

Did any of y'all catch the battle over the weekend?

I did, actually.

Thank God.

Moot was a hitman.

Yeah.

Mook cleaned him up?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

It was a good battle, though.

But he couldn't.

Yes.

Yeah.

Lysol

for breeze.

All of it.

It was a good battle.

I didn't like.

It was weird seeing Hitman go the exposed route.

Yeah.

Mud slinging.

That was weird for me because I don't.

I've never pictured him as one of the battlers that need need to do that.

But he spent an entire round,

the third round at that.

And teased it in the first couple rounds.

I mean, posted on Instagram mid-round.

Yeah.

It was just a lot.

It was a lot.

It didn't hit like he expected it to hit.

For me, that lost in the battle to me.

I mean, I see everybody running around talking about Mook 30 to them.

For me, that angle, saying those things,

saying what he said about mook posting what he posted on instagram as if that was proof of what was being said it's like you saying too much wild shit uh for niggas to not have vetted like yeah and to do this in the name of a battle like and i know that that's what battle rappers do yeah but

all of them that was disgusting that was nasty a little bit that that was unless it's all true Now, if it's all true, then I come back.

I have a whole different opinion.

But I don't know that, and I don't know that about Mook.

So, I didn't like it.

I also don't think he was winning the battle just from a rapping standpoint.

I think he had a better shot.

He had a better shot.

How I was calling it, I didn't love either of their first verses.

I thought that they both had highs and lows in the first.

So, I thought that that was a wash.

See, I gave Mook the first.

I did so.

A lot of people gave Mook the first.

I thought it was a wash.

Okay.

In the second verse,

Hitman did some of the better rapping i've ever heard him do yes he did it sound like he was really focused on he was doing schemes almost like chiller jones that whole uh alcohol smearing off uh

reposado that whole shit he was doing yep

i've never heard him do that really great rapping from him in in the second but i felt like you just fell for mook's trap now Like, you rapping in a way I never heard you before says that not only do you have the utmost respect for Mook, but i feel like mook was setting him up with that even before the battle even during the battle when he was teasing his style and saying this simple bullshit y'all keep liking so i thought that was a point for mook and then mook's second verse was dope

and then the third yeah yeah yeah the third mook was dope man mook's projection

uh

the simplicity yet difficulty of the bars that mook does

i love that sellers to the attics logic that was crazy Yeah, yeah.

His performance.

Elevator line, too, was fire.

The elevator line I didn't get to three days later.

Like, I like that.

I like that.

L-E-Vader.

I see what you did.

Elevator.

I see what you did.

Again, overall, really good performance by Mook.

One of my favorite battles of the night

was...

Calico versus Rom Nitty.

Rum Nitty, who I have is probably 1A or 1B or 1C in terms of best battle rappers right now.

Twerk, Twerk is there for me too, a prepared Twerk, along with Lux slash Mook and the Legends.

But that battle was really good.

Calico showed his ass.

Calico shows up against really big names.

He does.

When it's a name that you think he just don't have a shot against, he show up like a legend.

I think I watched his last four joints.

He showed up.

Three or four.

Like, he ain't been playing lately.

Yeah, this battle was more of the same.

He was real talking rum nitty down.

And Nitty had a bunch of fire.

He was fire.

He was fire.

His Liam Neeson,

damn, man.

When I watch his battles, I need to start time stamping.

Yeah, because chillin' daughter.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was crazy.

That was crazy.

So that was one of my favorite battles.

But I guess the talk of the night was official punching Coffee Brown in the face face during their battle.

That was the talk of the night.

Unfortunate.

It is.

Unfortunate at such a good event, but so we got to talk about it.

So apparently, official said something about Coffee Brown's dead baby father.

Wish they said that he's not dead.

I watched Coffee Brown's interview this morning, and she said her baby father is dead.

Okay.

I don't know enough about any of these people to know what's true or not.

But I watched Koffee Brown say that my baby father is indeed dead.

Deceased, okay.

Yeah, so the rumor out there is that Kofi Brown's baby father is not dead,

that he just chose a different lifestyle, and she's saying that he's dead.

That's the rumor in battle rap.

Okay.

Okay, go ahead.

Okay.

Maybe.

But official says something about Kofi Brown's, let's say baby dead.

We don't know if he's alive or not.

He need a doc.

So Kofi Brown rebuttles it with a line about officials dead mother motherfucker tell your dead motherfucker yeah yep

official then two pieces coffee brown and face boo boo then they go to break it up I watched coffee brown's response video she handled this very very well she did she she addressed getting punched she said that we were cool we're fly we've been talking all battle uh

they gave each other boundaries hey I'm not gonna do this so she was surprised when officials.

Yeah, so she was surprised when official said what she said and surprised at the reaction she gave her off the line.

Like we in battle rap, her words, my baby father is dead, you opened that door.

So when I respond with a relative of yours who's dead,

it shouldn't be off the line.

She's right.

That's what she said.

She's right.

I think if a baby father's dead or alive, I'm not with battlers attacking the person they battle.

I've never been a fan of that.

Not from math, not from

this.

I'm not afraid of my man or you man, because I'm styling no more.

Back in the days, yep.

I'm not a fan of that.

Styling no more.

If you standing up there,

be prepared to hear.

And they said official done battled

Arce Dig.

Like, she done battled niggas that unsaid everything in the world.

So don't go punching on this girl.

I thought it was whack.

I thought it puts a negative light on otherwise a really great event.

And there's another great event coming.

Oh, I ain't finished with that event.

I'm shouting out Ars, 3-0 Jazz.

I'm going to keep it a buck.

I can say it now.

I didn't know how that battle was going to go because Jazz has been on a tear.

And I would never publicly say nothing against my brother.

I would just shut up.

Of course.

But when I saw that and he 30,

I'm very, very happy now.

So

salute, Ars.

Yes, shout out to Arsenal.

Just getting over that.

Yeah, shout out to Ars, though.

Jersey.

I'm glad they put the fight up or the battle up on YouTube immediately.

Go ahead.

I'm glad they put the battle up on YouTube immediately.

MOOC.

The MOOC MOOC immediately.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, this whole hiding it behind shit for a month.

Like, by the time the average casual gets it, it's no longer a talking point.

I get both sides of that, though.

I do.

Business.

I think you got to do more.

I'm trying to make my money.

Yeah, paywall.

So everybody 100%.

People talking about it and, oh, let me go watch it.

Let me go get it and watch it.

I'm trying to get my bread.

That's super awesome if you make it easy for people to go and get it, which has not been the case in all of these battle rap things.

They move it from app to app.

The app doesn't work good.

It's crashing.

It's lagging.

That's true.

No.

Give something, especially something, the main card at least, something to the people.

I'm still thinking about this punching in the face thing.

And I know how you feel about words versus like physical stuff.

You're like, no words should ever make you do that.

But I'm thinking about the rest of y'all.

Like,

is there anything that's battle rap?

What is it for you that you would feel comfortable afterwards standing on and saying, I'm glad I did?

We all might get mad in a moment and do something we regret, but what's the thing where you would not feel regretful about it later?

That could be said in the battle rap in a battle rap.

In a battle rap,

some of that arse shit.

A fair.

I've been to some of my brother's battles

and been sitting there like, Yeah, I don't know how y'all do this shit.

Like, I'm dead ass.

Like, I agree.

Even some of the people battling against him, they're saying shit about his mom.

And that's my mom.

I'm here, like, how you think about it like that.

Yeah, yeah, we were Like, no.

Or his daughter, that's my niece.

Like, I stay away from that shit, bro.

Yeah, you did.

I know.

They used to we did.

Yeah, they did that.

You got a pretty good idea.

They knew you was in the building before they did all that.

That's cool.

They knew where you were seated at.

You're right.

You absolutely right.

They didn't expect no smoke.

None.

That's the best.

That's one of the best ways.

I think you sign up for that, though.

I think the culture.

You know, battle rap, you sign up.

You know, it's just words, man.

And a lot of times there's some understanding behind the scenes.

I've seen battle rappers have an understanding, and I also seen battle rappers draw the line, you know what I mean, back then.

So, I feel like you sign up for that.

When you go on stage, you liable to say anything, like the whole Arsene and Mook thing at that time.

I told Arsen,

you didn't have to say that.

I watched that one, and that's the one.

I think the second round got real nasty.

Is it the second round?

It got real nice.

It was a blast that I third round.

That's what it was.

And I was like, I didn't like it.

It made me feel like it was an L versus a W.

Because he did so well.

He was doing well rapping.

You didn't have to go that direction.

I mean, I told him that, but he said he knew what they were signing up for.

And, you know, Mrs.

Disrespectful.

So I'm saying you sign up for those things.

Battle Rap is probably one of the only places where I'm totally fine with blackballing, too.

What do you mean?

Anybody that do that.

If you come to my event, we done worked our asses off to get this event off.

You battle rappers be late, wanting your money.

Y'all forget your verses.

Yeah.

Want your money.

Punch somebody in the face.

Now I got lawsuits, the venues, I can't even do that.

My insurance is high as shit every time.

My insurance.

I would blackball the fuck out of one of you.

How do you feel about it?

And your crew.

I ought to be made that a rule in battle rapping.

Hey, your crew can stay home.

I need the person that can rap.

All that antics behind the sound.

I'm done.

I'm done.

How do you feel about the talented battle rappers when the snitching allegations come out about them that's no longer getting booked?

How does that make you feel?

I really don't.

I understand it, but because

I don't think I'm close enough to the culture to know who's snitching and who's not.

No, I'm just saying, but I know surf never snitched.

He'd just go do his time and come home and surf never snitch but that's the mild concern there's some people with paperwork came out adi boom

extremely talented he was extremely talented he never got booked again yeah good

I'm not wait hold on so wait it's kind of a contradiction I read the paperwork on him

that looked nuts

me too I understand what you're saying and his broadcast is too big to have an adi boom second okay so what's your question the point I was trying to make is that we can't say that we don't care about snitches in the hip-hop culture.

And then when it comes to that, battle rap is a part of the hip-hop culture.

And then when somebody's snitching to some paperwork, we're saying that it's good for them that they

can't work no more.

They can't work anymore.

If that's the case, it should apply to Gunner and anybody else that's been allegedly with snitching allegations been on, was said about them.

Oh, okay, maybe.

When I was talking about homework, I wasn't really talking about the snitch part.

I was talking about what they allege him to have done.

Oh, okay.

I'm sorry.

You launched Yeah.

Gotcha.

The snitches stuff, I don't, that's not my.

Gotcha.

Okay.

I don't know.

I got it.

Not my place.

Not my business.

I obey the law.

I come here, talk about people, and go in-house where you can't find me.

Got it.

That's what I do.

Okay, my fault.

I'm not a nurse.

I didn't understand the Kratos thing.

Can you break that down for me?

Mark, I don't know who Kratos is.

Where did that come from?

I've never heard of Kratos.

He said that he had auditioning.

I never said that.

That's because it said you said it.

I'm like, when the fuck did he come from?

I wanted to audition for God of War.

I hate it.

Why didn't you audition?

I think you could do it.

Here comes Sparks.

You wouldn't make a good cradle.

Well, y'all remember the episode?

I might not have been here because I don't think that's a good thing.

Hey, but we're all here.

He said, I auditioned for God of War one time.

He was talking about my voice audition.

I didn't even know there was a God of War.

I think it was the best game franchise.

But you remember hearing it.

Yes.

God of War.

Somebody's lying.

The fans will find out.

Yeah, send me the clip.

I've only ever auditioned for that role in the Daredevil.

Daredevil that I always talk about.

I remember that.

We were talking about video game role, though.

Def Jam.

It's not important.

It was one line in the jail where

I was supposed to say something slick to Daredevil while I was spotting him or while I was on the weight bench.

And then he get up and kill the guy.

Throw a card or some stupid shit at you.

No, he killed the guy in the scene and the first season.

By throwing shit.

Yeah, he killed the shit out of him.

But Kratos, I don't know who that is.

I don't know God of War.

Got it.

Excellent video game series.

He's had my name lit for at least a week ago.

It's been hilarious too.

Yeah.

And it's been hilarious too.

And all of those clips are funny.

Yeah.

It looked like Thanos of the video games.

But all of those audio clips of mine that they pairing with these videos

when you was walking, talking?

Like, I've been a nut for a long time is all it says.

Like, they shouldn't have that much audio of me being a nut.

No, I think I think that'd be flaw, though, personally.

If I was Kratos?

Hell yeah.

Yeah.

That's what I see Ian tweeting.

Yo, I should make the call.

Should I do it?

Ian's such a fucking groupy clout chaser.

I'm trying to jump in.

She should be Kratos.

It would be dope.

Hean be trying to get me to do mad shit.

But Kratos ain't chump, though.

That's what I'm saying.

That role, like,

he's him

to Sony's line.

He's him.

God of War is one of those

is a top-tier video game series for the PlayStation.

So, yeah, being attached to that is

lit.

Thank you.

I know.

He don't give a fuck.

He said thank you like you actually were Kratos.

He's no fucks yo.

Because I'm not Kratos.

Nah, you're Kratos.

Yeah, no, you're Kratos now.

I'm not Kratos.

But I would be Kratos.

I'd be him.

It'll work.

Anyway, shout out to you people that are having a good time with this Kratos stuff online.

Whatever.

Next time.

Shut up, Mark.

Them niggas.

Oh, what else?

What else is important?

Unimportant.

What else needs our full attention?

I need y'all conspiracy meter.

Hey, yes.

Hey, yes.

It's not a good story.

It's a sad story, but I still want your conspiracy.

No, because Delta State University, y'all heard about this guy.

Of course.

His name is Damar Travian, or also known as Trey,

Reed, 21 years old, found hanging from a tree in Mississippi.

Okay.

The university announced, and the police announced that there's no foul play.

The Mississippi police.

Yeah.

Like on a scale of 1 to 10, what is your bullshit meter register when you hear 2020?

12, 20

out the gate.

Fuck are we talking about?

Black man found hanging from tree Mississippi.

No foul play.

The implication is that it was that it was self-inflicted.

Yeah, exactly.

I mean, you only got two options.

Right.

It ain't no big investigation.

It's either self-inflicted or dangerous.

Del-inflicted.

Yeah.

Is there anything that the Mississippi police could ever say that y'all would believe?

No.

No.

Okay.

That's what I'm trying to get.

So it's nothing about this particular.

It's just the police said it, so y'all don't believe it.

I'm comfortable with that.

If you tell me Mississippi?

Police

hanging.

Hanging.

Black man.

And police said,

I'm probably not going to roll.

Yeah, I'm not rolling.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I can't be objective.

It could be that.

It could be everything.

I can't be objective in this moment.

I'm with you.

Can't do it.

It seemed like open and shut.

And then in the time that we've been sitting here, some new details have come out.

Not new details.

There are some prominent voices in Mississippi that are saying he did not kill himself.

I don't know what's true and what's not, but people are at least starting to push back because everybody kind of had the same response y'all had, which is if Mississippi believes it, I don't, if Mississippi says it, I don't believe it.

Is there a way to do like an independent autopsy or whatever?

Yeah, they will, but you in Mississippi.

Got you.

Right.

So if they find skin up under his fingernails,

somebody find nothing under his fingernails.

Right.

Because the problem is the person who does the independent thing might hit you with a little pedicure.

Manicure real quick.

Yeah, like who the fuck knows?

I've been all-time depressed before, and and the last thing I thought about was doing it on a tree.

Yeah, the tree's a lot.

The tree just sounds weird.

That sounds weird.

Yeah.

Hanging yourself from the closet, jail cells, obviously, you know, those are things that happen because you don't have a choice, but a tree's a lot.

That was a hard sell to me.

I'm not.

Dark question for you guys while we're on the topic.

Sorry.

All right, we're here.

Would y'all be able to do that in your home with your family and wife around like Robin Williams?

No.

No.

I'm not doing it, period.

At all.

I'm playing.

I'm furthering.

I'm not a fan of God Antoine.

I'm further in Antonio.

I'm playing if I were.

No.

I'd like to.

There are people,

first of all, the mind state you have to be in to get there sometimes means like we don't have that much control of it.

I think Robin Williams is an example of that.

But

sometimes when people commit suicide, it is to get back at people.

They want somebody to find them.

They want somebody to feel guilty for it.

And so

if you're in that headspace, you might want to be in the kitchen.

That's pretty interesting.

Yeah, you know, unfortunately, that's the dark part of it.

And when I have had those thoughts, and it's been rare,

sometimes the thought I have is about how I want people to feel after it happened and the responsibility I want them to feel for the choice I made.

You leave a fucking

note.

These are the books I need you to read

to find out why.

I leave Clue.

I'm going to leave Beyond.

Hey, that was low.

That was low.

That was a whole new meeting to the book club.

Exactly.

You got to find out why Mark did it.

Yo,

our thoughts and prayers to anybody out there fighting a silent battle.

Yes.

And

what's the name of the gentleman?

Trey.

Rest in peace, Tetrey.

Yeah, rest in peace.

And I hope we find his family.

And I hate it with him.

He's a freshman in college, bro.

Yeah,

it's sad.

Indeed.

It's sad.

How about a little bit?

I got you.

Yeah.

We can come right out outstanding with JD Vance doing.

That's a joke.

Yeah.

I was like,

yeah, please.

Please don't.

It's a joke.

It's a joke.

Okay, here we go.

Hey.

You sick over there?

We got a lot of people at work sick.

You sick, your whole face red.

Your face red as hell.

Your whole face is red.

Pink nose kuda.

A lot of people at work under the weather, boy.

I like that commitment to the gig, though.

Just coming here and get everybody safe.

You said don't take it.

Take a work.

Check it over, your family, your kids.

Now you like the commitment.

I'm moody, yo.

Word?

I'm moody.

Oh, you're lying.

Man, I'm moody as you admit.

You're lying.

I am.

Not you.

You think you moody?

No.

That's my answer.

Sips tea.

You're such a bitch.

Sips tea.

Hey, wait a waiter.

Wait a minute.

Talk to him.

I

Go ahead.

Forgive me if you already said this.

I see the Hoam on the on the mug.

Are those available for sale now?

Let me see.

Can I see it?

Oh, shit, ish.

You see a little TM next to it?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Trademark.

Oh, no, no, you got it.

Hoam.

Ho wham.

He was sipping it, but he he had the whole wham facing him.

And I'm like, I didn't understand

the move.

It's when you did that, gang.

That boy good.

You move fast like me, boy.

Hey, it's your bam.

Yo, get away from me.

Yo, go ahead.

What do you do I love about this?

She makes a phrase, has it printed on a mug, and then adds on one surprise.

I didn't put nothing on TV.

Well, is the mug available?

So you just made it for yourself?

Yeah.

Just for personal enjoyment?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, cool.

So you don't forget your phrase?

Why would you put a wham on the mug?

I thought it was a for sale.

It's nothing for sale, ish?

Salad?

You know what?

I know how to fix that.

Hey, can somebody hand us the tools to help pull teeth?

Hey, can somebody go and check the junk drawer or something?

See if some flyers are in there.

God damn it, man.

What are you talking about?

They trying to talk.

Look at Mark.

They're trying to talk to you about the thought process behind your Hawam mug.

Somebody made the mug for me that does some of my merch, and they gave it to me.

That's nice.

Let's do it.

I thought you were selling it.

I was trying to get you to do the promo.

I appreciate it, my nigga.

Is that the logo you're gonna keep now?

Was it a dude?

It was.

Was he always a dude?

Oh, boy.

Gotta ask all the questions.

Popping out the one.

And shout out to Amani also.

I know he'll talk about it probably on Patreon, but his Patreon is officially announced.

I subscribed.

Many, yes.

Let's go.

I tried to repost it.

You know what I mean?

Tried?

Yeah, he said he could, it wouldn't allow me to repost it because he ain't tagged me.

Something like that, right?

Yeah.

You could just screenshot.

You can post it.

You got to hold a button.

Yeah, just screenshot.

Great little paper plate.

All I want to do.

Pull up veneers.

It's cool.

That was funny.

That nigga E Pitcher got this.

I'm proud of E.

And they got his waves for the picture.

Nigga, how many times you took that picture, boy?

You got your waves back for the month.

Yeah, for the week.

You like, dang.

Oh, shit.

90 second in.

That's our man, nigga.

Watch your fucking mouth.

He deserved that.

Wait, what?

He's been turned up.

He deserved that.

I didn't say that.

He was a three-minute ass.

Amani, I got a DM from Keith Sweat that started with, tell your man Amani.

Yes.

He's telling us.

Oh, shit.

There you have it.

Oh, shit.

You said, and what, nigga?

It's going to be beef.

Yep, yep.

I want that, baby.

All right, that's it.

Your word, you're barn there.

All right.

Handle it when you see him then, nigga.

Do it them.

Do it that way.

I try to.

Don't call me later.

That'd be the squadron.

I try to keep you from swaying.

Them woody hands ain't gonna do it.

Oh, shit.

That lazy lady.

We care about what your response was to him when he said, tell your nigga.

you responded back and said what he was on.

Come on, y'all know who's on.

You responded back and said, What?

You held your man down, right?

Come on, man.

Stop.

You held your man down, right?

You know how long I know Amani.

You know who Stu Nilha was riding for.

How long you been a fan of Keith Sweat?

I did want Keith Sweat to sing at my wedding.

Amani told me he wouldn't sing at my funeral.

But want to sing happy birthday in the back seat when Vern had.

No, you know what?

He didn't do that either.

This motherfucker.

Yo, what else needs our attention, man?

What else is important, unimportant?

What else needs all of our

come on, come on, come on,

Frank?

Did y'all see Kirk Franklin's son with the video uploads yesterday?

Go ahead, Mark.

I did see it.

It was really sad.

It's really unfortunate.

What happened?

What's sad and unfortunate?

That he and his first, first of all, he and the family are just going at it right now.

Still, they, you know, years ago, he leaked

audio of his berating him yeah i remember um and people

were kind of i won't some people were defending kirk franklin you know what i mean saying like maybe you shouldn't talk to your kid that way but was it like the football talk we had on patriot the other day it's no because here's why it's not

because on on

monday september 15th he posted graphic footage okay that went beyond the talking Oh, and he wrote.

According to him.

Yes.

I'm just saying he posted footage.

I don't know what it's, you're right.

It's alleged.

He's alleged that it's his parents who did it.

He said, these scars all over my back are not sex stories.

It breaks my heart all over again when people ask, because I wish that was the case.

Pain is the only feeling that's familiar for me, but whatevs.

And for the record, these scars are symbols.

They really are signs of many secrets that I keep bottled up since I was a baby, being beat black and blue since first grade.

I walk with war and betrayal in my posture, so fuck around and find out who's with the shits forever.

I'm gonna start betting Mark's stories.

Mark always want to read some.

I'd have never said Don Quavius Kirkland's name.

Is that his name?

Carrion.

Carry on.

You just made a stereotypical church southern name.

Carry on, carrying on.

Keep carrying on.

I'm on Kirk's side in this.

What say you?

I agree with everything you said.

I'm not playing.

You're not getting me.

What do y'all say?

I don't,

that ain't enough.

Yeah, you said y'all ain't getting me.

What do y'all say?

I say, you not, I meant him.

He's trying to rope me in the.

That ain't enough to make me have an opinion against that.

Like, that's not enough.

Like, you didn't say your parents did nothing.

You just posted saying man, I don't like how you started that.

You ain't make stomp.

Get out of here.

If you're that serious, I don't like how you started that.

I don't think his dad did.

He might

stump to have stomps or shit.

Might have got stomped.

Bring authenticity out in the music.

No, that's not right.

He another dude

that needs our love and prayer.

That's true.

He needs love and prayer.

He sounds that way.

I just want them to deal with this privately.

We always get included in the group chats, which then force us to make choices.

No, no, it doesn't.

For me, you know what it is?

Wait, hold on, go ahead.

It don't, though.

It don't.

We could look at this shit and just go.

I don't look at nothing from Kirk Franklin.

No, but I'm saying, if it popped

pop up on your feed or whatever,

right pass it.

But also be disciplined enough to read the first four words of a sentence and know when to turn away.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just said, I don't like how I started.

Kirk Frank, before I get to Lynn, I'm out of there, buddy.

No, when it said, these are not

sex scars.

That's what kept me reading.

Although I wish they were.

See, that's what kept me reading.

I didn't know where that said.

Where that reading is.

That worked on you.

Nobody got jumped by a tiger.

What are you talking about?

If you see the images, you understand what I mean.

It was pretty wild.

It was was sort of compelling.

The fact that he's a gospel singer doesn't change anything for y'all.

In terms of your expectations or the discipline.

I don't know that, man.

Colonel Franklin.

I don't have no expectations.

Public television said,

I would go far out and throw my porn away.

And at 3 o'clock in the morning, I would leave the house with slippers on and nightclothes and climb in a dumpster in a garbage can

to get my porn out at 3 in the morning.

Well, have you ever thrown your porn away?

The good porn, too.

Yo.

The good shit.

You know.

But

I didn't drive miles and climb, dog, into a dumpster with my footies on where the Mises is at and get the porn out.

I would just log on the internet.

You got to spend that money on the bottom.

Fuck what we talk about.

Yeah, I'm not rolling.

Okay.

Kirk is a nigga, bro.

Yeah, he's had a hell of a journey.

You know, he just found his biological father two years ago.

So I get he's at his own shit.

So, you know, know, I wish him healing prayers.

Those cars look like

too far?

Yeah, it's very nice.

Sorry.

You see your guy, Jackson Dart.

James Wilson having a time with me.

Oh, shit.

Look at Parks.

Nah, nah.

Parks, that's racist.

We can't do that.

Hey, write down my little blunder, buddy.

We can't just go to Jackson Dart from there.

I miss it.

Oh, also on the before we get to Jackson Dart and Russell Wilson, great game.

Good win, Cowboys.

Go, y'all.

We were talking about where the economy is.

I read something that says, and I quote,

dating apps

come to an end.

Huh?

Never.

Tinder, Hinge, and OKCupid are all crashing together.

Match Group is down 63% in five years.

Do you remember when dating apps felt unstoppable?

Tinder was everywhere.

Hinge was designed to be deleted.

Investors thought they were betting on the future of love.

Match Group was worth over $40 billion.

Damn.

Now,

just $9 billion.

Just.

A measly $9 billion.

Yo, pretty punishment.

Word.

We have $40 billion.

Yeah, man.

It ain't just $9.

You ready?

It ain't just.

Sorry.

People are burnt out from swiping, complaining about fake profiles and pricey subscriptions.

And Wall Street is finally

left two.

That's what I read from some shit called, who cares?

I'm not crediting you, nigga.

What do you guys think of that?

Do y'all care at all about that?

No, right?

As men in relationships.

My little young nigga said that hand should be on fire.

Oh, well, there you have it.

Yeah, cool.

This little young nigga said.

Yeah, cool.

Cool, so

sound a little crazy.

Couda said that shit crazy.

I'm not surprised.

I'm not surprised.

So, where'd they find that?

There was also something a few months ago that said from ages 18 to 33 or 34, don't quote me, look it up yourself.

They say men are having a lot less sex.

They also say drinking is down.

They say a lot of shit is going on.

Because niggas, money fucked up.

Okay, but if somebody says drinking is down, everybody's going to do a round of applause.

If somebody come in and say all the men from 18 to 32 ain't fucking no more, but if you say,

I'm trying to say, oh, oh, I'm slow.

Yeah.

Oh, y'all are horrible.

Well,

or just logical.

I was also 21 once.

You know what I was doing?

For a little while.

Getting lit.

Trying to fuck somebody.

This goes into our ice, spice, and lotto streamer conversation.

It does.

Seriously.

It does.

It does a little bit.

It does.

It does.

And the legal marijuana conversation.

What can we do?

Yeah.

What can we do?

What can we do or say to this demo that we're talking about to help them have sex again?

Go outside and talk to women.

women go talk to women no get money that's a shame that I'm an ice world

fam not go get go talk go talk to women

because niggas were like niggas was fucking without money yeah now money makes it easier yes oh it's different today boy

no it's different to shoot at them they could still fuck it's these fucking uh red pill manosphere pages lead motherfuckers down the wrong goddamn past that's it Go be nice to a lot of them.

And they'll probably give you some vagina.

Man, these pretty ass anime girls and all them gamer girls be bad.

Are you talking about the ones that play them girls that be playing the game?

Yeah, they be the paint.

Oh, you gotta be pretty ass anime girls.

What are you doing?

Have you seen their feet bro?

So I think culture has changed I just think the younger girls be fucking with the older niggas now so the older dudes be kind of at a deficit bro ain't that always been the case though yeah

it's always been the case

and again you talking about like

I'm just saying a regular old chick not not this gorgeous who's shooting for the stars just a regular girl go talk to her These niggas do not know how to talk to women.

I think social media has ruined people's interactions with each other.

Yeah, I agree with that.

Yes, I agree.

Like, they don't know how to talk to people.

You want to fucking abbreviate every word.

Go have a real conversation with somebody.

Make someone laugh.

Make her laugh.

Make her feel comfortable.

And not with Twitter jokes.

Like, actual

shit is happening in real life, having a real conversation.

Don't know the world outside of that.

They don't know it.

A lot of these young niggas just hang out.

A lot of these young niggas just hang out with each other.

They smoking that weed sprayed.

It's just bullshit.

Drinking that wine.

Weed of wine.

No, no, no, listen.

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

Whatever that sprayed shit is, it's fucking them up.

It's not like before when niggas had purple haze and salvades.

It's not that.

So whatever shit they spray on it, it's really putting these kids in the trends.

It's fucking them up.

I seen it even when I'm outside.

Just a bunch of young niggas just don't give a fuck about no girls.

They just smoking the weed and they showing you the package.

Y'all got the sprayed and shit like that.

It's something I've seen in a couple of different hoods.

Yo,

Come on.

It shan't say, yo, you fiending, bro.

Give me that laugh.

You laughing.

That monthly laugh.

Coming right along, moving right along on this big broadcast that we know is big because we just went to Monday Night Raw, and the reaction tells us, hey,

this thing is pretty big.

Oh.

Yo, I I understand.

I get it now.

We went to Monday Night Raw?

I can kill you niggas with that.

I get it now.

No, I ain't been to Monday Night Raw in a while.

I got to talk to her.

Yo, this thing is stupid.

What are you talking about?

Anyway.

I ain't been to Monday Night Raw.

I got to talk to her.

Oh, let's see.

Oh, what do you think?

Let's see.

Clips at the Vatican, Bud Canelo, GZ Vegas, Dating Ass, Pretty Punishment, Drake League's Lil Baby Retirement Rumor.

I don't know if y'all told me your thoughts on that Lil Baby retirement rumor that was going around.

I didn't hear it.

I didn't hear it either.

There's some company or production company that has ties to Lil Baby that did an insta story like a week ago saying that Lil Baby is retiring from music.

Now, I didn't vet this.

I didn't check the page, but I saw people in a panic saying that Lil Baby might be retiring from music.

And it is odd that all of the people Young Thug has been singing to lately have just been quiet.

So there's, all right, so I see everybody wanting Lil Baby to say something, even from when the thug leaks first started.

Have y'all, he don't do the internet shit.

No, he don't.

He's never been one of them to do the internet shit.

So I don't even understand the expectation for him to say something.

Lil Baby always move like

a real nigga behind the scenes, just moving around, not letting you know what's going on.

You're not going to get his thoughts on this.

So y'all can let that shit go.

I appreciate that, too.

Yeah, we need more of those.

In terms of the retirement, I don't believe it.

I wouldn't believe it.

I don't believe it.

Is any rapper...

What rappers ever retired and stay retired that we care about?

Me.

Joe.

Are you the first?

Well, you said that you care about him, so maybe not.

No, no, we care for you.

I mean, I mean, outside of you.

Like, that's why I'm just saying that to say, like, I don't believe it because it's always never tired.

Because you can go back to the well to get some water when you need it.

Joe pivoted and don't got to financially go back to rapping.

Right.

And you also didn't retire

15 years ago.

You know know what I mean?

Like, retiring when you're still young and got all, you know what I mean?

Like, in rap years, I'm talking about is different than rapping, then transitioning to a new career and saying, I don't want to do the old shit no more.

I don't see him retiring.

He still was 35.

Yeah, he was still.

Who?

Joe?

You think that's young?

Yeah.

Today?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's true.

That's a good point.

You're right.

In rap years, it's not like it used to be.

That's true.

I wish I could have retired soon.

Really?

Hell yeah.

Hell yeah.

If you could have, when would you do that?

I wanted to, but I was broke.

Had to go.

Had to go.

Play the game.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me see.

What's something that I was just trying to ask y'all about?

Totally unrelated.

When they shot fucking Charlie Kirk, niggas start adding Joyner Lucas saying, don't you fucking think about it.

That's funny.

That's funny.

All right, forget it.

Fucking fucking.

I know.

You're not going to get it.

You know what I'm saying?

But it's pretty funny.

Johnny Lucas does the fucking

verses from different perspective points of views.

So they told him not to be the.

He was just

going to do it.

All right.

Talking it much.

You got me.

I'm all out of topics.

Unless Mark wants to explain to us why America and Israel's relationship seems to be so close-knit.

But if you don't want to do that, stay save for the Patreon.

Yeah, yeah.

Amani's.

Save for Amani's Patreon.

Let's see.

Yeah, that's everything that I've got on my shit.

I'm done.

I'm done.

What are they sleeping on, Joe?

Oh, shit, sleepers.

Yeah.

We could do a little sleep.

We could do a little spend a little bit.

Sleepers, sleepers.

We're going to get those sleepers.

What are they sleeping?

I don't even know anymore.

All right, I have something that they are indeed sleeping on.

Before I get to that, though,

I got to come clean with you guys.

I never looked at Travis Kelsey's ex a certain way before until I saw her go to Chris Brown's concert the other day.

Oh, man.

I don't know if you guys saw that.

Oh, yes.

I want to shout out Chris Brown for making the genius move

to cut the lights and cameras off during Take You Down when you're going in for the kiss.

I know I bigged you up on this broadcast before for that.

They tried to get on you when you was making it public, doing your little kiss thing.

So now we got the lights out, which helps when you got something up there that you really want to kiss.

Travis Kelsey's ex.

Hey, let's say her name, man.

I'm trying not to say it because I'm involved.

I got a girl.

Her name is Kayla Nicole, man.

That's that woman's name.

That's that woman's name.

Put respect on her name.

What that young lady did on that stage, book her for the rest of the tour.

I ain't gonna hold you.

That whole leg up

where your dick can't get to nothing but pussy.

Oh, no, you ain't seen me.

Both legs up.

Oh, when you grab a whole heat.

Grab him back there now.

Come here.

Make sure I'm on.

Oh, my Lord.

Then she did some move where she caressed the back of his head.

It's over then.

I'm gone by then.

We was gone long before then, my brother.

My brother, we was going long before then.

That little hip toss out and start shaking right there.

Then they panned the camera around so you could see her face, and she went into no hands, no hands mode, laughing and just smiling like she could do this in her sleep.

Like it's just off the muscle memory.

Travis Kelsey, I know you engaged.

I know Taylor Switch, I got all of that.

It ain't doing

dog.

Respect.

Dog.

Respect.

And I never looked at her like that.

Oh.

I never looked at her like that at all.

I didn't.

Oh, yeah.

Buddy.

This nigga crazy.

She hit that move up there.

I was watching with my girl.

I had to make up some shit.

Like, oh, shit, okay, she's flexible.

Trying to find the movie.

Damn, what kind of boots are those?

Damn, she's athletic.

Can you see the boots?

Yo, those boots.

You can tell fire.

She plays soccer.

She got to be a soccer player.

Yeah, link tree, nigga.

Like, she.

Oh, my Lord.

I tried to find a link tree.

Oh, my lord.

I tried to fund a link tree.

She just fucking planted more seeds for the shit.

Oh, my lord.

She was a beautiful guy.

She was amazing.

Shout out to Kayla Nicole.

You can tell she went to performance arts school.

No wonder why Travis switched up his whole look, nigga.

Damn, I ain't going to hold you.

That nigga went from, I mean, he's back to who he is back to.

Yo, that was planned.

Nick Nulty, but

she had too much oil on her legs.

That shit ain't looking.

No, no, no, no.

No, no.

That don't mean that was planned.

That's how they was at the show.

Oh, yeah, they was.

You're right.

They were all at the show.

Ish, hit your cousin up so you can beat it.

Like that.

You tell me.

Get us a VIP to that, Ish.

To the Kayla show?

No.

Yes.

To the Kayla show.

Come on, Ish.

Kayla, if you came in here and did that little move, Imani might become Chris Brown.

You could get all the money.

Kayla,

you could 100% get all the money from this little podcast room.

That's a fact.

It's not a little podcast room.

That's a fact.

I'm going to try to play our shit.

You could get the fucking network fund.

Slow bank roll.

She can't get all that.

She can get a nice couple dollars, though.

She can't.

According to you, nobody can get it.

Nobody can get it from you.

Don't show it to me.

Come on,

don't show it to me, my brother.

Listen, man, I do have a joint that y'all are sleeping on.

Yes, sir.

Before I play it, I want to say that

I've said it before, I absolutely love everything that current Kaylani is doing.

I think that if Kaylani damn near wanted to start her own record label right now, she would be

she has her pulse on a certain sound in RB

between what she's doing with Destin Conrad, between what she's doing with K1,

like some of these newer artists that Kaylani is around, and when she put the feat, she's on an absolute insane feature run.

I can't not sing her praises enough.

I'm playing a record by Isaiah Haran.

This record is called See Right Through Me featuring Kaylani.

And yet again,

Kaylani smokes this.

Really great record.

Reminds me of Daniel Caesar.

No, it reminds me of Dreezy and T-Payne, that fucking classic they got.

Here it is, see right through me, Isaiah Haran, featuring Kiloni.

dozen.

You made me happy when I wasn't.

And now I like to call you my baby.

I don't care if they see me blushing, cause their opinions count for nothing.

That's why I'm betting on you.

Cause you know what I need fixed up.

You seen a bigger picture.

That's why I'm interested in you.

Cause I know if you see me falling, you'll be right there to pick me up.

And that's why it's true.

Cause you'll see right through

it.

That's why I'm interested in you.

Cause after all you see me do,

you decide there's nothing left to prove.

And made the way you wanna see it.

I think it's an act of God.

And baby, if it makes us stronger,

I'll push all my doubts aside.

I wanna grow with you, baby.

I wouldn't tell you a lie.

You're bad.

They're gon' say we're crazy.

Cause they don't believe me when I say

that I want you anyway.

Despite how we met,

I came with streets too undeniable for for me to say that I wanted any other ways why I'm betting on you

Cause you know when I need fixed up You seen the bigger picture That's why I'm interested

If I need someone to call

You gon' be the one to pick up a like that it's you

see right through me

I don't mind sticking with you

Cause after all you've seen me do

You said there's nothing left to prove

the way you wanna see it I think it's a night you got it Cause maybe it can make you stronger

than society I don't want to live your bed

when you tell you alive

I'm not a little bit of a love, I'm not afraid of the world.

Baby,

baby,

I'm in love.

Cause I think I'm in love

with your

love,

baby, baby, I'm in love.

That was absolutely

fire.

Absolutely fire.

That song is incredible.

Again, that is Isaiah Haran featuring Kaylani.

That record is called See Right Through Me.

That is off of Isaiah's project, Concubania,

Concubania, and the entire project is fire.

So shout out to him.

Really great, really great song.

Really great project.

Okay.

Proud of you, everything you've done, but ain't changed up.

You moved up, evolved.
