Nah, I gotta go pull it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, turn it on.
No,
hold up.
Shut up, yo.
I'm going to get the lyrics right now.
You're like, Here we go, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Hold up.
We started.
Oh, man.
We wasn't starting, but
yo, that is.
Yo, shut up.
It's a fact.
I don't know if that's a fact.
It's not a fact.
No.
Okay.
Hold on.
We were having a spirited conversation about
Mary J.
Blige's.
What's the name of the record?
Family and Family Affair.
Because Parks isn't a super big fan.
I am not a fan of that record.
Parks has his all-time record.
I love Mary.
I hate that record.
He hates that record.
Two worst songs all time.
No, no, no.
I didn't say one of the worst.
This is one of my least favorite.
Oh.
There's a difference.
All-time.
All-time.
I like that song, but I do know the community that hates the song.
Yeah.
So it's like a return of the Mac thing.
Then I was like,
Mary probably hates that song.
She probably does.
Most people hate their biggest hit record kind of thing.
So then these guys started talking about the lyrics.
it's dancery dancery which most of the room hates it's horrible i don't mind it because off the dome you know what i mean
listen we just screeched down we saying we saying some that don't make sense i'm gonna start referring to every bar and club as the dancery from now on we're not going outside to the bar so i'm not mad at you making some up as a dancery but then our good professor brother dr mark lamont hill was told this is based on what i was told from who
several industry people
No, no, no, no.
Like songwriters
connected to the song, not like random people.
Who wrote that song, you remember?
I don't remember now.
It's been too dancing.
Nah, not my people.
But that the original people.
But then the original lyrics were Dance Soiree,
which makes sense.
Dance Soi.
And
S-O-I-R-E-E-U-Lo accent.
And
when it was read or performed in the studio.
That's not a good lyric, also, by the way.
Dancer E is better than Diasrance.
Dancery is better than Dance Soire.
Dance Soire.
Yeah, I remember that.
No, no, Maddie was not going to sing that.
Actually, now it was a single single thing.
I totally get where Dan Serie came from because Mary was going to be in the booth saying, no, I'm not doing that.
It's staying Dan Serie.
Right.
Dance Soire.
But the original reading of the lyric, the theory,
the prevailing theory is...
That when you look at S-O-I-R-E-E, you might think that is Dance Sorie instead of Dance Soiree.
If you think black women can't read.
Yeah, and that wasn't the reason.
You said that you got a song.
The ANR could have told her that.
The producer could have told her that.
Anybody, I'm not blaming Mary.
I love Mary.
But what I'm saying is
if you thought what Flip did.
Oh, man.
That nigga got the fuck out of there.
Not your little big word shit.
Here's a tricky word.
But no, I think,
yeah, that's what I heard.
I think it was Soiree originally.
Ain't the line before that, come get crunk.
Yeah.
Up Up and getting crunk at the fucking dance soi.
I ain't rolling.
That's the last place you want to get crunk.
That's exactly where you get crunk at, actually.
Yeah, you ever seen sinners?
I didn't think dancer existed.
I never heard the word before.
I heard, I heard this word.
Yo, what do y'all do?
What do y'all do when y'all get crunk?
Do y'all get crunk?
All right, let me change it.
I do.
What do y'all do?
What do y'all do when you're in a spot and your song comes on?
Pause, you get crunk?
Oh, for sure.
This shit?
Yeah, yeah.
I slap the shit out of you.
You don't get crunk.
This?
That's crumb.
That's crump.
That's crump.
Oh.
Jeez, culture, man.
What the fuck?
Same shit?
Some words.
Same shit.
That's why I'm supposed to leave this thing.
These fucking tricky words.
What do y'all do when y'all are in the spot and your song comes on?
Oh, the arms go.
Shoot air for sure.
Shoot airs.
Which is sort of like crumper.
Yeah,
I quarter a lot of crumps.
Shoot air guns for sure.
Air guns.
Even if it's like
family affair, that's not really a good thing.
I'll get cracked to that, though.
I'm going to call to that.
You can correct the Lil' John music and all that shit.
Well, sure.
Start slam dancing.
But white crunk and black crunk may be different.
Oh, that's a fair.
I want the music, yeah.
No, no, we're talking about that.
White Krunk, they start bleeding.
I want
to answer my damn question.
I said the air guns, I said something ish.
You doing air guns too?
Yeah, especially for hip-hop shit.
Yeah, dude.
That's ish.
Ish.
He eats orange peels.
You'll see me in a club.
I don't know.
It depends on the song.
I get animated.
I get mad.
It's that question.
You know what I'm saying?
I say, anime.
It depends on if it's an RB joint and hip-hop joint.
It all depends.
It definitely depends.
March Madness come on in the spot.
What you doing?
What spot?
Strip club?
No.
The dancery.
The dancer.
The dancery.
You leaning on the bar.
Yeah, it gets a little reaction out of the club.
What's the reaction?
It ain't going to be ear guns.
It's going to be some hyper.
Where are you going?
You're going to get the sky.
You throw it.
My gang signs up.
What you doing?
The joke in my friend circle is you can tell how drunk I am by how high my hands get.
Yeah, my hands are pretty high when March Madden the family.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Tall-ass white boy.
Nigga dunking.
Catching oops.
Yeah.
It's like when they came out with a long slinky.
This nigga.
What?
Yo, your little two fingers stick together when you...
This is your move.
Yeah, you're good for that.
This is your move.
Two fingers.
I'm probably just going to wrap the words to let everybody know that's my rapper elitist shit.
I know all the words to this weird record, and you don't.
So, fuck me.
We had an interesting Joe Budden, we had an interesting Joe Budden moment speaking of Crunk this weekend, and it brought things full circle for me.
Remember when we were at
that club on Steinway, and you were on stage performing Fire, and all the white girls came up and absolutely
girls until my wife pointed it out to me this weekend.
You didn't?
No, I didn't.
What was in Mean Girls?
Fire.
You didn't even know the legend of me, really?
I guess I didn't.
That little piece
went under my radar.
Fire is in Mean Girls.
Fire is in the first episode of Entourage.
Okay.
Fire is in something else, too, that's classic.
Mean girls in the middle.
If it's one thing Def Jam did, put that shit in some movies.
Yeah.
Movies.
Make your money off your back.
That's some bullshit.
I know.
And they told me I'm flying.
They told me I didn't sell any records.
That's kind of crazy.
That's some bullshit.
That's some bullshit.
Oh, my God.
It's a gold game, ain't it?
Anyway, 20 years to get 500,000.
So you stick in fucking shit.
You're going to trot some L Coochie in his fucking plaque.
Why out of here?
Why out of here?
If they would have, if somebody would have come in here, I could have slid
with that plaque,
he'd have been slid.
But it was LL.
So accepted the Black Boy Joy.
Black Boy Joy, god damn it.
Shout out to L.
That's a laugh.
And Queens and Def Jam and Mean Girls.
And Go Rim.
Yeah.
Go Rim.
Yeah.
let his ass know.
Yeah, she put me off.
She put me off.
What was that club?
Classic, I think.
It was called Central Central.
Something with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's something else now.
I forgot what it's called now.
That was a funny though.
That was a high night.
Yeah, it was a good night.

Yeah, you do.
You do.

I like a fit girl too, so I'm not.
I support the fit girls.
I like that shit.
Fit and diesel different, though.
Yeah, it is.
Very different.
No, she was fit, but she was like a thick fit.
Actually, the only girl I remember is mine.
So, never mind.

No, she said they only want three grand.
She was just, no, she wasn't waiting.

That's not true.
Nah, dogs are expensive.
Tell me how to do it.
You are wrong.
Some of these dogs be $4,500, $5,000, and $6,000.
Yes, you are right about that.
A lot of these dogs are high as giraffe Coochie, bro.
Three grand is a decent number.
Okay.
This is a class conversation.
$3,000, the difference between $3,000 and $4,500 isn't enough to go get a street dog.
But for you, you say, I get what you're saying.
No, I'm just saying.
If a grand is five grand.
If a dog costs five grand.
And somebody said, yo, I could get a dog for three grand.
You like, oh, okay.
I don't want that shit for $1,500.
I was cool, but.
So you end up buying a dog.
Did she show you the dog?
Wait, hold on.
Did she show you how kind of dog it was before you agreed?
She just walked in.
She showed me the picture of the dog.
And was this
a situation where you had the opportunity to agree, or was she just informing you that the dog was coming?
I think it was a little bit of both.
She is like, yeah, yeah.
I said, I got bullied, my nigga.
Like, I got bullied.
Yeah.
Did she pay with it using your card or you paid for it?
No, so I think she lied to me keeping it a buck because I was like, no, three, you crazy.
So then she hit me like Phoenix later and was like, yo, the lady
we can have it for free.
She just want the baby to have the dog.
And I'm like, oh,
I think she paid Roger to sleep.
She's rocking to sleep.
That dog was to be awful.
So then I'm like, yo, dog, who gonna watch the dog?
It's like having another dude.
You.
You, basically.
It's like having another kid.
That's your dog.
Oh, I know.
This shit is different.
So I'm like, yo, then.
Cage came, travel shit, all.
My nigga, you spent like $1,000 in accessories the first week.
You got the little pee pads in the house.
all that shit.
Everything, bro.
It's like having a new ball.
It's like having a child, B.
A little motherfucker.
You in love with that dog already, HG.
I can tell the way you said that.
I love his shit.
It ain't like the newbie.
That dog ain't gonna do shit for you.
Kids are pretty bad, but a dog, that's good.
Dogs are worse.
That man, I have this fight all the time.
The burglar comes in, he gonna steal the dog.
The fucker ain't gonna block somebody.
What?
Yeah, but now you should be able to get your Rottwell.
That's true.
No, my house ain't big enough, really, for a Rott Walla ending up.
You missed the point.
We're not getting a Rott Walla.
Right.
That was never a huge one.
Maybe like a bull or a little Frenchie or something.
I could put my foot down.
I can get any
horse if I want.
You're not playing a fashion.
No, I could.
I'm going to get one.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Do me for just let us know.
That's how you get that.
When you get that Rott Waller.
No, get a second dog, yeah.
That's a compromise.
That's how I ended up with two cats.
That's how you're going to end up with two Labradoodos.
Yo.
Oh, man.
What, yo, your brain just racing.
Your brain's just racing, yo.
You go to what?
A main coon.
Them shits are fire.
Yeah, I wonder what I'm talking about.
Oh, what?
A mane coon.
Y'all bait me again.
What's the name of the cat?
It's a main coon.
I see what's happening here.
A main coon cat?
Yeah, they got the big mane like a lion.
Sort of.
It gets big.
Yeah, it gets big.
The shit's fire.
I don't like cats, but
they look.
Look it up, Mark.
It gets like this big.
You don't have the space for a Rott Waller.
He don't get no Rott Waller.
I don't care how much space he got.
She already said no.
Did she got a base center?
That's it.
You got a yard.
What a bitch.
You let your girl punk you out of getting the dog you wanted and then turned around and got the dog she wanted and got the free dog center, too.
Dog sent her.
Dog center.
And I want to laugh at him, but the very same thing happened to Ian with that dog that they got.
To Ice.
Dobby.
And then it happened to my dad with the dog that they got.
It happened to Ice with two dogs.
It happened to me when I got a dog.
I had bought dogs for a few girls and seen them let the dogs just deteriorate and die when the relationship ended.
Oh, shit.
Girls don't give a fuck about dogs.
Why ain't take the dog?
Huh?
Why ain't take the dog?
I had dogs.
How many dogs you want me to have?
You got to compromise relationships, dish.
I think you I know the one you know one of them
is allowed to.
Yeah, that ain't compromised.
You just got bitched.
Fuck you talking about it.
That's it.
I'm not allowed to have a dog.
But, look, you said you're not allowed to have a dog.
If she decides tomorrow she wants a dog, guess what?
You got a dog.
Yeah, I got a dog.
That's how I go.
That's how it go.
Now, Joe, you're about to shift your domestic situation a little bit.
At some point, y'all are going to be living together.
Yeah.
Are you allowed to have a dog?
Well, she has a dog.
Oh.
Are you allowed to have a dog?
I'm allowed to do whatever the fuck I want to do.
You talking to me?
No, you're not eating.
Okay.
Again.
You hear it, right?
Let us know when you get the Labrador.
I'm not in them little talks that y'all.
You went worse talking.
You talking to me?
You went worse talking.
Yes.
I put my foot down over that.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
And then when you fell through the cotton candy,
and you just kept going in the fucking loop.
The bubble rap.
Yeah.
Anyway,
when my girl moves up here, I'll have a house.
And when I have a house, I'll entertain, get a dog.
What's your dog?
Your ass.
Ask who.
Her.
Her.
The producer, entertain.
Y'all just trying to troll.
We're not trolling you.
We know how it go.
What type of dog?
We know how it go.
There's nothing to ask.
She has a dog.
All right, but I know her dog will come.
That's her.
She wants her dog to come.
Yeah, little Bentley.
Come on, Bentley.
Yeah.
You ain't getting no Rolls-Royce.
Yo, the troll in me, if the woman has a small dog,
I have to get a mastiff.
Seriously.
No, yeah.
My brain just works like that.
Yeah, I'm with you.
And they fuck around, end up getting along, be the best of friends.
But just the guy and me, if you got that to be representative of your little Paris Hilton Yorkie in the Louis duffle, then I need a man daughter to get a Tonka truck.
I need a mastiff in here.
We hear you.
And we just don't think that's happening.
Yeah, that's all we're saying.
I hear you.
I hear you, my brother.
We just good luck with that.
Let me know how that works.
Sound good.
Mastiff.
I hear you, my little brother.
You ask him, Master.
Get this thought.
What y'all want to kick it about?
What y'all want to talk about?
I don't know if we should start with the dark shit that's going on in the timeline.
Ooh, just heavy.
It seems to be somewhat confirmed.
It's been confirmed, yeah.
Since we've been talking here, I've been talking to some other people.
Okay.
It's been confirmed that
D'Angelo has passed away.
God damn it.
Four of the greats.
Four of the absolute greats.
51 years old, man.
51 years old, reportedly of cancer.
After a struggle with cancer d'Angelo has passed away a lot of people have sort of wondered where he's been and why he hasn't been more visible and people have been waiting for music and this is a reminder about why we shouldn't be doing that all the time because you don't know what's going on in people's lives you don't know what's going on in people's worlds but he passed away and there will be better uh tributes better obituaries than what we can do today because we're all finding out in real time And a lot of people are reeling from this.
But D'Angelo is one of the greats.
Most people know him for his three
super important albums, Brown Sugar being really one of the forerunners of the Neo Soul era.
If there's an album that defines 90s soul in RB for me, it's that.
And it's a special album for all the reasons that we can talk about later.
And then five years later,
Voodoo came out.
And voodoo, for many people, was the high point of his artistry.
Not for everybody, but regardless, it was an amazing album.
it's one of the best albums the last however many years you want to put on i would say exactly and and and the genius of it is again gandro's always ahead of the curve he's never following trends he's setting trends uh and the way that he fuses r b and jazz and soul his vocal phrasing um
hip-hop of course yeah and also his his musicianship when you talk to people like Quest Love who's one of his closest friends and somebody who almost started off like,
I'm not even going to perform on Brown Sugar because I'm not into 90 Soul to saying, oh, wait, this dude is a genius.
This is one of the greats.
Somebody like him will be able to really get into the nuances of it.
But I mean, he was a genius.
And that's also the moment where he became a sex symbol.
There were a lot of people.
I was about to say, you named all that shit and left out and taking his shirt off.
I was about to say, I know that's when you entered the first.
If you had a girlfriend around 0-1 and a TV with BET, it was tough.
Yeah, you started doing some sit-ups.
Exactly.
They had that little V-show.
Girls get the bottom of the screens and they can scroll and shit.
And how does it feel?
Obviously, it's the song we're talking about.
One of the most innovative videos of all time in a moment where he became a sex symbol and a reluctant sex symbol.
He was somebody who wasn't comfortable with all of that attention and being, you know, sort of framed in that way, partly because of his different experiences growing up, from the church to his body image stuff.
But through it all, he continued to fight and he continued to create.
And it was a big gap between that and Black Messiah album, which was 14 years later.
For me, that was a masterpiece.
But beyond the music, because I think there's a lot there, he was a human being with a child.
He was somebody who people loved.
His co-parent, Angie Stone, just died last year.
So
we're sending love to their child as well.
And just a cool, all-around, cool dude.
Like, if you're from the New York area, like, you may have bumped into D'Angelo
in the street, in the bowling alley.
D'Angelo was just a cool dude anytime I saw him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Same.
Same.
Same.
And I think that's what I I always appreciated about him.
There's some people who are geniuses who want you to know their geniuses and who walk through the world like I'm the greatest.
And he was the opposite.
He was a reluctant superstar.
He was a hero to a lot of us musically.
But he was just an everyday dude that liked to do everyday stuff.
And he was loved.
To that point, right?
Like, and I think the people gave him that.
Like, anytime I saw him, anytime there was
a lineup of performers in a New York area and he was on the bill.
Oh, yeah, it's packing up.
Yeah.
It was like LeBron or Jordan or somebody.
That's how the musicians looked at him.
Yes.
When he was on the lineup.
Musicians wanted to hurry up with their set.
And I'm talking about legendary acts to see him and greet him and speak to him.
This is before Black Messiah.
This is when the mystique of it.
So D'Angelo, just what he did.
for my childhood, what he did for the 90s, Neo-Soul, the musicians all around the world.
Thank you.
Like, thank you for your service.
51 is so young.
That's so young.
So, so young.
But we had to celebrate.
We had to celebrate his life.
51 years.
You got 51 of them things.
Yeah, and lived it to the fullest.
One of the goats.
And did it.
And did it.
He did it.
He did.
He played some goddamn D'Angelo, man.
Remember,
you know, You Will Know?
You know, that was the first song he produced and wrote.
Remember that the 90s hit?
Really?
Yeah, that was his first.
He produced and wrote that.
Oh,
that's what I'm saying.
He was behind the scenes on so many amazing projects that people don't know about from You Will Know all the way up to this more recent stuff, man.
He's again,
legend.
Let's get a little bit, man.
You're my
name, my
God.
Hey, rest in peace, D'Angelo.
Rest in peace, Angie Stone.
Don't think I'm seen looking at you.
All of them wishing they could have you.
And as a marital factor, a bunch of other pictures for you to scratch them.
I'm trying to hide on your fan.
I'm trying to come with the
And I'm gonna make it know.
Cause I want you to know,
I mean, real quick, real quick, man.
We need to, we need to.
Just real quick for the legend, man.
Mar goes out to preem everybody that was blessed enough to know D'Angelo.
Baby, that's crew.
From here.
Yeah, I mean, shout out to all the parents out there.
Yeah, I mean, just turn this up and get your crew with us real quick.
Thank God we got this version.
It's just smoky out there wild.
Fucking the cleaning, ladies.
Yo.
When you put it like that.
Nah, for real.
Because sometimes the slaps gotta die when, you know what mean.
But did that nigga get in trouble?
Yes, this one's gonna stand.
Hey, D'Angelo, you came good looking.
Good looking.
Hey,
Smokey.
I love her when we're cruising together.
Yeah, I mean,
call up your ex that was one of the Neo Soul chicks, man.
Remember this real quick.
Them hairy underarm chicks got that fire.
Alright, I'm starting, I'm starting, I'm starting, I'm starting.
I'm starting, I promise.
Alright, man, what topic we getting into?
Y'all figured it out.
Y'all figured it out.
Started to cry down the tree.
Yeah.
He keeps it going.
Words.
He got him.
He
in the back.
Hey.
Y'all mean now, niggas gotta light one up out there.
Niggas Niggas gotta pull something up out there, put the end to it right quick.
Hey,
might be the first time we ever just caught a groove real quick, like in the beginning of the bar.
Shit feels good, though.
We're coming, we're coming, I promise, I promise.
Ego!
Light is in the sky!
Light is in the sky!
Hey!
You
sleeping with my woman!
Hey, why are you doing that now?
Are you
sleeping with my woman?
Wait a minute, Ego.
Sleep, you never heard this, all right?
You never heard it.
I got you.
I got you.
Don't worry about it.
Stop touching my body.
This ain't Mega Jamaica, huh?
Hey.
Alright, come on.
We got a great show lined up for y'all today, I promise.
Because I could keep this going for like five to ten more minutes and have a blast.
I won't, though.
We got a job to do.
We got a job to do.
We got a job to do.
God damn it.
Anna for Taggy, I know for Taggy
Nose, no job,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I am
fucking taking a turn.
Oh no, we fucking out.
All right, turns off.
Yeah,
Pause crying tearing up, man.
Kind of man.
Yeah.
He's dead.
Nah, niggas don't understand that.
Yeah, D'Angelo was really him.
There's a lot of people out there pretending to be him.
He was that.
That's why when we started.
He was really, really, really that.
He was really him.
When we were having that RB conversation and ranking people, and people just start saying, and no disrespect to Maxwell, because I love Maxwell, but when people just start throwing names and putting them on tears, they're not the same.
They might look the same on the surface.
D'Angelo is a fucking genius.
Yeah.
An actual genius.
And I think people don't appreciate that.
And I hate that it takes sometimes moments like this for people to really appreciate.
Yeah, the music world takes a hit tonight.
Yeah.
Takes a huge loss.
Huge loss.
Our prayers, prayers to their family, fans,
thoughts, condolences.
Thank you.
All of that.
And again, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for your service.
Ish.
Just to pick,
I'm glad to hear your dog story.
No, no, no.
Because I was frustrated with you because you left me hanging on Sunday.
Wow.
How?
Did y'all ever play the Spades game?
No.
No,
you said that Sunday was bad.
Plus, after Friday, I think, you know,
I need a little JVP break.
I need 72 hours.
You want to get your ass cooked toys?
Right?
No, you're supposed to help me find Mexicans, man.
For your life.
Excuse me?
So, what happened?
No, so
I got suckered into moving.
My mother-in-law was moving this weekend, and I was asked to come over to help.
I thought help meant like, you know, pack this box up, tape this box up.
Suddenly, they started pulling out dressers and like chests and cabinets.
Like, old lady shit, shit that's been there for 70 years.
The big shit with all the plates in it and all that shit.
Exactly, exactly.
And it was just me.
Oh, shit.
So I needed some backup.
And I see your eyes moving.
You're like, why the fuck would you call it ish?
I do.
This nigga like, yo, you're right.
My eyes are like,
what the fuck does mother-in-law move it
have to do with me?
Well, because he's different.
Holy shit.
Friends.
This nigga is different.
Hey, Granny.
Hey,
best of luck.
Hey, that arm won't move itself.
Oh, marriage is going to be great for you.
You are.
You're going to nail this.
Oh, my girl mama's 51.
You got like 30 years to be around a ton.
I'm chilling.
Oh, shit.
And I'm joking.
And I'm joking.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
My girl.
my girl, mother might.
We're going to be able to do it.
Go ahead.
I call Ish.
She got the new school furniture.
She ain't got that old hair.
I called Ish because I was like, not that you're going to lift it for me, but I figured you wouldn't.
Some of your employees could come
on short notice and help me help me lift.
What happened?
He didn't answer.
He sent me the voicemail four times.
And then eventually he said he's at a suite 16.
So I say he's handling.
And then now you got to realize realize you're a dog sitting too.
So I understand that.
So I went to the local U-Haul.
Okay.
That seems reasonable.
And found some people out there.
Sure.
Yeah.
Sent him in an Uber.
I couldn't put him in the car.
Yeah.
Wait, what?
I had my car.
Oh, you had somebody in the car with you?
I had my son.
Oh.
I'm going to pick up two complete strangers and put them in my car.
Plus, your son would probably have them in your crazy.
Oh, yeah.
Also, they would be like, no, no, no.
For the safety of the walker.
When I went back home, it's better than this.
My brother.
And plus, you got a nice car.
What do you say?
And plus, you got a nice car.
It wasn't that.
I'm not.
It's like with so many movers you can stuff in a portion.
But apparently, you can't get Mexicans after a certain time at U-Haul.
No, no, no, let me be clear.
There are workers out there who are looking for day work.
Most of them are from Central America.
And so I was like, but I didn't know where to go because it's not my hood.
Oh, sure.
It's not my hood either.
Yeah, but you're Mr.
Ish.
So
I was going to drop your name anyway.
anyway i found some west african uh workers who were two dope brothers who i put in the uber sent over there to move all this they moved it in like
an hour flat nice the question is how much would you have paid how much is that worth to you what because i don't want to exploit them
but i also don't want to pay you haul rates or like move professional movement rate what how much should i have given them because when i asked them how much i would have given whatever they asked for they said just give us what you think this is worth
i hate that right That does make it really tricky.
I hate that.
I don't accept that.
I don't even let nobody tell me that.
Yo, let me ask you a question.
Did they really just work for an hour?
Yeah.
And they carried the shit.
Yeah, it was heavy shit, though.
But the shit is, you didn't have to do it.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, it depends on what it's worth to you.
I agree.
I would have given them a buck and a half a piece.
A buck and a half a piece.
I would have given him $250 each, at least.
$250 each?
Yeah.
Ice?
Ice is like, you want to stay in this country?
Oh, shit.
Double off time, but don't ask him about.
He didn't get a three piece.
Ice gave him three pieces, right?
Mr.
Ice is different.
It wouldn't have been $250.
What would it have been?
Just an hour?
$70?
They might have got $300 total.
Yeah, that's what.
That's what it said.
Maybe $200 total.
Yeah, probably around there.
From $300 to $400.
Yeah, I would have given him two each.
I got to ask one more question.
Corey, I got to know what Corey would do.
How much would you give?
Corey would would have looked that shit himself.
That's true.
Girl, watch this.
How much would you give him?
Probably a buck.
An hour?
A buck a piece.
Okay.
My old head with my uncle was.
Yo, you're not down to exploit nobody.
Let him say how much you gave.
He might have given niggas $80.
Well, my uncle told me to give him $50 a piece.
Okay, I'm going to move on from that.
I felt guilty.
No, no, I didn't give him that.
I gave him Corey.
I gave him $100 a piece.
But then I started...
My uncle
said like 50, they kind of heard him and looked up, and they didn't speak a lot of English, but they heard that.
And I was like, no, we can't do that.
So I drove to ATM and I gave him, yeah, I gave him 100.
I gave him 100 a piece.
And I was feeling a little bit bad.
I should have given him like 200, but hearing y'all talk, 100 was at least in the range.
Mark, you got to talk to Jesus about this shit.
I told them, no, like, how much you pay for shit?
You know what I mean?
I appreciate you breaking the really sad moment.
I was trying to chase the angel.
He's so cute.
He did great.
He did great.
Thanks.
Thank you for that.
Go, mom-in-law.
You don't have nobody with shit though.
A mother-in-law.
It's just funny, too.
You don't have nobody with, like, your friends, or I know friends probably don't call you for shit like that.
Mark, we've established that I'm on the opposite side of you and this.
No, not the money shit.
I'm talking about the fans think that I'm a bit.
I ain't talking about money shit.
I'm talking about in terms of just helping.
Like when friends call you don't move.
Stop lying.
You're not hearing who I'm talking about.
Stop doing that.
Yeah, it's not true, nigga.
Joe is not helping someone.
Joe ain't helping someone.
He's needed me to help you.
That's what I'm saying.
Helping you move.
He's not helping you move, though.
None of you.
Was he like that before he was rich?
Yeah, man.
He's not helping you move, bro.
Joe's not helping you.
You sitting there in his face.
That nigga's not helping you move.
I promise you.
You need some bread to get somebody to move.
I don't know about all that.
He's not helping you.
He makes it seem like he doesn't help friends at all.
I'm just talking about in terms of me having to get out of my bed.
My house to do something for a loved one.
Like, I wanted to stop Mark's story when Ish said I was at a sweet 16.
I went in about that time.
But he kept going.
I was like, all right, I ain't gonna be the asshole here.
Who the fuck turned 16 that we love?
I know your kids' age, nigga.
One of my people's daughter turned 16.
See, that's too far.
That's fine.
No.
Yeah, that's fine.
I'm saying for me.
Well, y'all, because girl dad's going to see.
Y'all going to see.
Don't even waste the email.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Holy shit.
Fucking girl.
My smell.
Sweet 16.
Sweet 16 is a big deal, too.
It is.
It is.
I went to my girl K Sweet 16.
Sat over in the corner looking stupid.
Yo, I got a split.
I'm the dumbest.
Nothing happened.
I got a funny Sweet 16.
I know you do because it got.
No, this is about the pod.
I wasn't going to tell it.
So a girl comes up to me and she says, yo,
just want to tell you, I'm sorry.
I said, huh?
So
the Sweet 16, the girl, her dad, the sister came up to me and said, yo, I'm a big fan of the pod.
I watched the pod.
I'm not going to lie.
I wasn't really feeling you.
So I started laughing.
She said, yo.
But now I'm watching you and your girl.
And after the Dr.
Umar episode, I wasn't really feeling you but I see your girl is for the people
say loud I'm back and I'm proud
I was crying in there y'all
son

And so, if he love y'all, yo, but I'm just watching and your daughter's amazing.
Your girl, yo, like, I'm like, okay.
She like, stop playing.
I'm serious.
I'm like, yo, me too.
I was just like, yo, that's crazy.
What do people expect your girl to be like?
Dog, I have no idea.
But I was just like, oh, all right, cool.
That shit was funny.
So I was dying.
It's all funny people.
We continue to be tricked.
The bar
like this girl is handing out some fucking meatballs.
You know what I'm talking about?
She wasn't doing it.
She's not her own business.
I was like, yo, people are crazy.
Holy shit.
Okay, what else needs our attention?
Speaking of people's girls,
Akon, sadly, maybe, I don't know, is getting divorced.
Oh, no.
Unfortunately.
Going on 29.
Akon was married.
Okay.
Oh, shit.
Yo, some of y'all niggas out here, but I don't be knowing.
You got to tell me when y'all married.
Well, you'd only been married for 29 years.
Oh, yeah.
They're still married.
one of those African marriages.
Oh, it's one of those.
That's an African marriage.
So he's, in fact, the anniversary of the 29th
wedding anniversary was the day he filed for divorce.
Huh?
Yeah.
That's fire.
That's crazy.
That's fire.
And she filed.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's fire.
She filed.
It gets more fire.
She sued for $100 million.
Did you say how many?
$100 million.
Yeah.
According to reports.
Okay.
According to reports.
Yeah.
You got that right.
What we know for sure is that they're getting divorced.
What we know for sure is that she wants a lot of money,
eight, nine figures.
And what we know for sure so far, based on reports, is when they did an investigation of the accounts to find out how much money he had,
there was $10,000 in the checking account.
Only.
Apparently, all of the money is in his mama name.
It's in accounts and money and companies tied to his mother, not to them.
So she's basically saying, I don't have any money.
And what was interesting to me about this, in addition to being like, damn, that's a hell of an outcome, is how many people on the internet are like celebrating it.
They're like, they're giving him like standing ovations for this shit.
Like, gotcha.
Like,
and see from the looks of y'all faces, it seems like y'all might have been in a motherfucker.
Y'all ain't shit, man.
Oh,
That's crazy, son.
Ice, you gotta work on your shit, too.
That looks like what Elon Musk did.
Yo.
Yo, stop.
You just ain't working.
Don't do it.
You gotta do it.
Don't shoot from down here
on some high game shit.
Big difference.
Very different.
Since you giving the standing salute, what do you...
Let's go, Freeze.
What do you say?
Why?
You found a loophole in the system.
He missed a loophole, nigga.
Freeze.
Freeze does love a loophole.
Y'all all love a loophole.
Nah, not like you.
Okay.
See, Freeze, I'm surprised by you a little bit on this one.
Talk to me.
You are...
A feminist.
No, but he loves.
I know how important relationships are to you and loyalty is to you.
So I can't imagine that if you were with somebody for 30 years, built a life, got a kid, your whole career happened while you were with this person.
Not like last year, but 29 years ago.
We know the way it kind of was 29 years ago.
That you would want them to only have access to $10,000.
Five.
Five, right.
Right.
Obviously.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Half of it.
Yeah, whatever.
That is crazy.
Obviously, he saw something that made him make that move.
So he might have got wind or whatever, however, she was trying to move.
Oh, you know what?
Let me protect myself in case.
He did a post-marriage pre-duck.
Maybe.
Now, to be clear, we don't know if these people...
He's been doing that for all 30 years.
That's crazy.
What about the guy that is seemingly very successful and wealthy that still wears Drio on major platforms and gives out?
He said he wasn't going to be smooth with some money.
And give out the fake Hubalo.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
Like,
he's gotten over on the likes of
far more people than just her.
I remember Akan City in Ghana when he's raising money.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah.
He's getting that money.
Oh, go ahead.
I think your wife deserves
nothing.
A fair
compensation.
If they were married 30 years, bro, you got to think, like, he's really had a meteoric rise in the last 30 years.
So I can't say that she, in some way, shape, or form, did not play a part in that.
Yeah, now I don't know if she necessarily deserves half of his money, how muchever money he has, but if she's suing him for $100, that means she thinks or knows he has a couple hundred million dollars.
He was rumored to have been given a billion dollars by he came up here, yeah, and talked about uh the Asian people gave him some money.
I don't know what I'm saying, but you're talking about the Asian people gave him some money.
Everything that he said in that interview,
I believe
one word that Akon has ever said.
No, no, no, I'm just saying, but she would know.
Hell,
he might be the only guest that's ever been up here where
I didn't believe nothing that he had to say.
And that's my man, too.
That's my man.
Some niggas could be your man, and you just.
You just know they're lying.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, for sure.
I love my friends that lie.
I think they're the most sentimental friends.
They're the best friends.
If you know that they're liars and they lie.
Correct.
It's not.
It is.
Yes, it is.
It should be.
And they try to get shit over the straight face.
Your friends that lie are more entertaining than your friends that are.
1,000%.
By far.
They are.
By far.
You don't have a friend that can fuck with me.
You don't have one friend that can fuck with me.
And lying?
No, and entertainment.
Oh, I thought you said lying.
Your lion friends versus your friends that don't lie.
What side are you on?
I'm on the lion's side.
The lion's side is way more entertaining.
Yeah, yeah, we entertain on this side.
Especially when you know they lying.
I'm sorry, buddy.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What side are you on?
What for now you in?
Yo, that shit be annoying, my nigga.
What the nigga just be sitting there lying, and you know they lying?
What's making phones?
That's what makes it great.
I know you lying.
Horrible, buddy.
They say you the lying friend?
No, nigga.
Are you crazy?
You keep it real to the source.
It's utterable.
Do you?
You're not going to do that.
Do you call them out when they lie?
You just watch the show.
No, they lie so much, you can't say nothing because you're going to fucking play with it.
Yes, me too.
Me too.
Oh, for real?
What night?
No.
You for real?
Yo, that's crazy.
You got to hear this story.
You gotta hear this.
I'll be trying to shout.
It's hilarious.
What about when a lion friend?
Amani still ain't catch on.
What about when the lion friend puts you in their lives?
All the time.
Amani lie about nothing.
I don't tell him.
He said, Let him lie.
I ain't like, for real?
I don't like it.
You need my help.
I don't like it.
Yo, you're a fool, son.
That's the man.
Don't talk about my man now.
We need white nights.
Nigga, that's you, nigga.
You're a fool.
Even if he lied, nigga, we accept it.
No, it's the best lies.
His lips start to twitch when he lied.
He'd be like, I got a girl.
How is she?
She's fine.
She's black.
We sat up here and told us we've never met a girlfriend of his.
Yo.
Yo,
he takes the crown.
But you gotta know that.
But you gotta know that.
That's my man.
Don't talk about him neither.
Never.
I slide one of y'all if y'all talk about my man.
Only us could talk about him.
Anyway.
So if Akon is this trash, right?
That's trash.
If he's this much of a liar and y'all have this much skepticism, no, you can't get 100 million.
Kick with me.
No, no, I'm just saying, like, like, I wouldn't assume you should know.
No, what I'm saying is, I wouldn't assume that she's the one making an angle here.
If anything, I, because to Ice's point, that you know, he saw how she was moving and did it.
I'm thinking, no, it's more likely he's been hiding money the whole time.
Got everything
in my mama.
What did you say?
That's the song.
You heard the words.
Man, that's fucked up.
I don't know.
I'm the government gonna find out for the same thing when they try to take buff shit.
They think they're gonna get something.
You just watch.
I talked to some lawyers about this yesterday.
I was just curious to know how this plays out.
And they said that a lot of times when you send money that way or hide money that way, it is retrievable.
So just don't, so don't everybody think they can just go put money in their mama's name and you can't get it back.
Because a lot of times that's a backdoor hood move we do, thinking we avoid sharing, but you might still have to share it.
Well, my mom owns my business with me.
Mine too.
Now, what's my dream?
You know it.
My mom owns my business.
Now, your mom owns a bit more than mine.
You looked out for moms.
I did too, but the decimals.
Flip.
Let me ask you, because you've been married a long time.
I have.
And you've been married before you were you.
Yes.
Which is like similar to the Acon situation.
You are very similar to Acon.
Now we think about it.
Oh, shit.
Akon.
No, not on my man Flip.
I I wasn't saying I was correct.
I was correcting him.
I got it.
He ain't going.
No, enough.
Enough on flip.
Thank you.
Hope we do.
Sensor.
Sucker ass.
Watch your fucking mouth.
My man sucker, nigga.
Sucker free.
Go ahead, Mark.
Oh, man.
We'll talk about it offline again.
You're from marriage.
I've been married.
You know,
if you, God forbid, broke up with your wife, you will give your wife everything she deserves.
Exactly.
You talk about it.
That's the ice wood, too.
You talk about all the time how your wife held you down when you ain't having nothing.
I dare you say something, nigga.
I dare you try to imply.
I dare you try to imply that I broke up now.
I slap down.
That's not what I'm doing.
Don't make any face about my wife.
I'm not making no face about your wife.
I'm listening.
I'm just listening, right?
Hey, outside.
Yes, I'm only listening.
Yeah.
Yeah, what's your question?
I'd say I'm sure that that's what he would do.
You say.
I'm sure that's what we offer.
Honorable men up here.
Of course.
You will leave our wives.
You want to move back to Queens, God?
You want to go to the shed room?
She's talking about she want to go to a shared room or shit.
And she's like dad, I don't give a fuck.
Go back to your quality of life before me.
God damn it.
Nah, licky up too much.
You're right.
That's how I feel about it.
I had nothing and she held me down.
So, yeah.
That's the best time to do it.
I think, because I didn't believe in karma at first, but I thought karma's a thing.
Yeah, oh, for sure.
I thought I was doing my last thing.
You're doing the right thing.
And you fucking saved me, held me down when nobody was there, and then I scrapped.
You can have the whole 10.
Fuck you.
You do the whole thing.
Look, I'm going to hustle.
I can get it back.
You should have rest watched too.
Oh, shit.
Oh, man.
I've a little
Maybe a little 20%, but you know.
This nigga's crazy.
No, half.
She'll get whatever she needs.
Can they still have kids?
I don't think so.
Yo, if they've been married for 30, bro.
Right, that's what I'm saying.
What are you talking about?
All right.
Depending on when you met them, I guess.
And the oldest is 17, so.
If I remember correctly, so there's no child support.
There's not a lot of child support to think about.
It's really just about
what you want your other person to have.
I just couldn't imagine how it was.
Way Khan got over on
Ghana, the ghost.
China, Africa, China.
China young G.
This young lady didn't stand a chance.
A shot down.
She was down with him.
Nigga.
Like she was there for 30 years.
She knew all that shit that was going on in Ghana.
Which means she knows how much fanky he got.
Exactly.
I don't have that much.
Sorry, audience, but child support topics really rile us up up here.
I was wondering why.
It's not a child support topic.
Wife support.
Child support support.
Same shit.
Any support.
Women or children.
Any type of support for women
seems to really rile us up.
No, no.
Are we done with the Acon topic?
Because I have a question.
I'm done with Acon.
Mark,
quick question.
Can a black woman be a feminist?
Because I heard that feminism was
a white woman's
back in the 1800s, right?
So, because there's an argument online about black women being feminist, how a black woman can't be a feminist.
Yeah, black women can be feminists.
There's different types of feminism, and I think a lot of black women think about feminism in different ways.
You know, and sometimes white liberal feminism is only focused on white issues.
So like the original, and
the suffrage movement, the right for women to get the right to vote was largely for white women.
It didn't include black women.
That's what I'm saying, okay?
Which is why Sajourner Truth on, but ain't our woman.
Exactly.
So that was that.
But over time, yeah, you know, that's one of the issues now is that a lot of times, like, where are white women at?
When shit is happening to black women, when black women are getting kidnapped in Africa, this should be a feminist issue.
When black girls can't get access to reproductive care, where the feminists at?
When people are dying around the world, where the feminists at?
So sometimes it's like, it's not that black women can't be feminists, it's that the type of feminism that gets called feminism has never included us.
And so, a lot of, there's a lot of great, brilliant black women feminists who have stood up to speak back against that.
And that's what they'd be trying to do.
Got it.
That boy Mark, good.
Yeah, you're good.
I had to accent, yeah.
Had that shit on him.
Yeah.
He knows about it.
Anytime it comes to that, oh, men getting pregnant or whatever.
He
He quick.
Oh, you got four months.
He quick.
Look, look at Joe.
He don't come.
I love this guy.
Black friends.
I was just like,
I kept looking at him.
I'm like, we're going to leave.
I can answer this.
Like, we're going to let this rock.
Look at this nigga's face.
There's an argument about it, and I wanted to know.
First of all, what you're saying is not true.
Second of all, I want to do the prize picks, but I wanted to just shut up and let y'all have your little piece it up moment.
Oh, look, the pressure gets
your mark.
Oh, look at Flip with a little flushy piece of ice cream, really cream, mark.
Mark, I got a question, Mark.
Mark, get some of those big words.
We don't mind.
Hey, look at this.
Look at y'all.
Instigators.
Look.
Yeah.
That's what happened last time.
Exactly.
Remember last time?
Mark's such a great guy.
Flip is the leadership.
That's a phenomenal question.
Queen's flip, Mr.
Queen Flip.
Black women can indeed be like, yo, do I have to sit through this?
Do I have to sit through this?
Did y'all talk about that topic anymore?
Talk about that shit that you put out?
No, my next topic got to do with injustice for white women.
That ass.
I'm serious, actually.
But first, before we get to that
segues today have been fucking phenomenal.
Fuck me up.
Okay, I see.
Oh, shit.
I should try to cater to it.
This is the funny shit.
You try to cater to the other side.
I get it.
Okay.
Dude, white people?
Yeah.
You made the money.
You made the money by putting the video out.
I see.
Keep on, Gad, man.
I was expecting more.
Next time, one of y'all got to do the old school.
Hey, next, next, next tension that arises.
Someone got to step up.
So, shit, please just give me a subtle.
For editing.
The shoulder to the shoulder shit.
Yeah,
yeah.
Yeah, give me a a little, you know.
Come on.
Give me a one of those.
All right, it's time for my favorite part of the show.
Prize picks.
All right, this episode is brought to you by Prize Picks.
You and I make decisions every day, but on Prize Picks, being right can get you paid.
Don't miss out on any of the excitement this football season on Prize Picks, where it's good to be right.
Prize picks is really simple and easy to play.
All you have to do is pick more or less on at least two player stat projections for your chance to win big.
Prize picks also offers stacks, meaning you can pick the same player up to three times in the same lineup.
So if you want to pick more on Josh Allen's pass yards, rush yards, or touchdowns, you can.
You can pick all three
on the same ticket, only on prize picks.
So we are going with for the Joe and H picks of the week, Tua
Taga
mr.
CTE himself for more than three and a half rushing yards.
Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes, Indeanna Jones for more than 17 and a half rushing yards.
Stephon Diggs would really help my fantasy team if this happened for more than 47 and a half receiving yards.
And Dallas Gold Dirt, who was right there on my fantasy waiver wire, and Keith told me not to pick him.
And he's been putting up 25 points a week ever since.
Big reason why I'm two and six.
Smile for the camera.
Anyway, Dallas could work for more than 36 and a half receiving yards.
Don't forget to download Prize Picks right this very second and use promo code JPP for your chance to get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup only on prize picks.
where it's good to be right.
I'm still sick on prize picks from last night, man.
One catch cost me $1,000.
Does that make it...
One catch?
Do you end up hating a player after that?
You resent the player after that?
Nah, it's just...
Yeah, actually, yes.
Breakthrough moment in time, at least.
No, for me, because it averages out.
The same player that loses you a week is going to win you a week.
That's a factor.
True, but when I, like this particular player, I had Luke McCaffrey for less than like 28 yards.
He had nothing all game.
He caught one ball.
Oh, he did.
It was a tutty.
All game.
It was 33 yards.
I'd have been been tight if I had Drake London.
I'll tell you that much.
Yeah, he went off.
No, he went off, but that one play right before halftime where he didn't
fall back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That play won me a fantasy matchup in our league.
Oh, wow.
Because I was playing against.
I got my decision.
Thank you.
Pause.
All right, well, what else is going on in the universe?
Why are we all here spending quality time with one another?
Hey, yo, listen.
I notice every time Sade get into town, my baby.
Absolute, you start to gain more weight.
I mean, your stomach starts to stick out.
I mean, you got bare belly.
Every time you get into town,
you did eating good.
So, I want to know what the fuck was on the menu and are you sharing?
Last time you didn't share, you made a big deal about it.
You didn't want to give me any turkey wings with rice and beans.
I did that last year.
I did something.
That's when you stayed a little late.
You stayed later.
That ain't my first time.
Put in that overtime.
My nigga stayed late.
Yes.
That ain't my first time.
Yeah.
Ate some food.
Yeah, that's crazy.
He didn't want to share.
Big pots, too.
Nick brought his son.
Yo, my son ain't eat.
Got him and left without eating.
If you cook for seven people and then three extra people come, then seven people are deprived.
I don't even think that's fair.
Especially when you
hit the door as soon as the mics go up.
Yeah.
That nigga be at the motherfucking elevator.
Like, y'all do.
This morning, she said some country shit if I ever heard it.
But I mean, I'm not educated either, though.
So I'll just tell it to y'all.
Let's hear.
You know what I'm saying?
Hmm.
It's cold out.
I think I'm going to make some lasagna soup tonight.
Okay.
I'm not.
She hasn't lost me yet.
No, I'm here.
I had about the last song.
I said, excuse me.
Anything can be a soup.
And should be.
Dog.
I'm with you.
I'm pro-Suits Tech.
Pro Suit.
I'm over there.
All right, but I've never heard of lasagna.
I've never heard of lasagna soup.
I'm not shitting on it.
No, Google it.
Because she did show me some pictures.
She Googled it.
That shit might be all right.
And it looked amazing.
But you know what else it looked like?
Huh?
Lasagna.
It look like lasagna with
some broth.
I'm not mad at it, though.
But it did look really good.
Come on, Parker.
So, I'll be back with my review of
niggas in Texas.
Are bored in the kitchen, they're just coming up with shit.
I'm here for any interpretations of soup, any of it.
I'm a soup guy.
I'm a huge guy.
I'm a soup guy.
I like soup.
If it was socially acceptable, I would eat soup all day, every day.
I like soup.
I don't need it.
But that's how you keep this figure.
That's true.
That's true.
I can't wait for you.
And bulimia.
I can't wait for you.
And believe me.
No trigger warning or nothing, motherfucker.
Yo, when Park's metabolism changed, she's going to look funny.
He already 40.
I don't think it is.
I don't think, yeah.
I think this is.
Hold up, though.
It could happen.
I was skinny at 40.
All right.
You weren't skinny.
I wasn't skinny.
I wasn't skinny.
We don't remember.
Back to the friend that lies on.
We don't remember.
The lion's friend.
And we let him go with it.
You got mad at Sirius, too.
You remember?
No, no, that's right.
I wasn't.
I wasn't slim at 40.
He was slim at slow.
No, he wasn't the bar.
No, he would have just said that.
But that's sarcasm.
But you being sarcastic, you asshole nigga at 40.
I was way smaller.
Oh, you were?
Way smaller and skinny are two different things.
Yeah, but I probably weighed.
I don't even think I'm.
If you just had hazel eyes, my brother, they was lying to you.
They was telling you whatever you wanted to hear.
They were telling me whatever I want to hear.
They're going to tell me that fat or skinny.
I try really hard to fight that.
Like, that's why I work.
I don't work out for any other reason other than I want to still be able to eat what I want and not get fat.
Yeah.
Like, same.
What kind of hot bar?
Would you?
Five, six days a week?
Yeah.
So she said, this was some other tomorrow.
Yo, find a topic, too, because I ain't going to just sit here and share all these fucking miserable ass stories.
But boy.
Lasagna story was not miserable.
I'm here for it.
I'm actually going to try and find some lasagna story.
So she looked me in my face.
She looked me dead in the eyes and said.
So what do you want to do for Thanksgiving this year?
Which I thought was a trick question, like a loaded question.
It can be.
I didn't know how to respond.
Yeah, I just spoke to my mom three weeks ago.
She was like, Yo, what are we doing with Thanksgiving?
Nothing, cool.
I'm gonna fly out.
I'm gonna go see one of my friends.
I was like, Cool, I don't give a fuck.
That's what she has.
You gotta hit the reverse card, by the way, on that question.
That's one of the ones where what do you want to do for
anyway?
So I did.
Yeah, so I did.
Smart man.
I was like, well, what do you want to do?
I mean, you got a family.
I thought I saw what you would be doing.
I thought I would be in the streets picking up late for
the bad bitches' grids.
You would be with your kids.
The hall is right in the world.
What the fuck is this talk about?
Please don't tell me.
And then she says, I want to lie.
She says,
you know, I'm only asking because,
I mean, I've been seeing you these last few years.
Last year,
you were just home
alone.
She didn't like that.
Hungry.
Yeah.
While everyone was festive, having fun.
A queen.
You didn't have any friends or family.
You just kind of were sitting here.
That's a trick.
That's definitely a trick.
We've never spent Thanksgiving
together.
Gotta.
So
I figured me and the kids would
come over, and the kids would love to spend it in Jersey instead of Texas.
I think that sounds great, Joe.
It's the fall, you get to see the fall weather, the trees.
She'll do something.
Yeah, yeah.
Leaves.
She'll cook.
Watch football with you.
Zagna Soup will be there for sure.
for sure.
That whole motherfucker got one.
There you go.
Yeah.
I fell for it.
Of course you didn't.
I fell for it.
You didn't fall for it.
That shit sounded great.
You ain't had no choice, you bitch ass nigga.
No, I don't know.
That's the dog.
Ain't nobody pull one over your eyes, nigga.
You said okay.
I thought that was so sweet.
Same with me, or same with me and the dog.
Nah.
Same shit.
Hell no.
You just want that labradoodle, nigga.
Yes.
Enjoy that labradoodle.
It's the way she said it.
Lasagna doodle.
That's what you guys.
I thought that was such a sweet, sentimental, loving, and caring move.
I was like, yeah.
That's how they get you.
Yeah, it is.
And guess what?
Your whole plans of being out in the street.
Starluck won't get that in the single situation.
I mean, I ain't really had no plans.
That's a miserable Thanksgiving.
Now you hopping around to the fucking
bath.
Yeah,
you show up every year as the alone guy.
Begging for a plate.
Not begging, but she's been giving you plates since high school, this lady's mom.
Yeah.
yeah.
We hit the same houses since 99.
Yeah, it's not like a bad Thanksgiving.
No, it's not.
You can't do that, man.
If you got family, spend a few with your family.
If you have family, you should have definitely family.
Be with your family.
No, it is.
If there's kids around,
you had your time to shine.
Your turn is done.
Your turn is done.
Our turn is done.
Whatever fun shit you could think of is done.
It's over.
You did it.
And if you didn't do it, you're shit out of luck.
You got to find a new level of fun that includes the family now.
Yes.
That's a fact.
I ain't mad at the niggas that did.
The fun got to evolve.
I'm doing it.
You ain't mad at who?
The niggas that never did it doing it.
Well, if you never did it, then do it.
Yeah.
You got to do it if you can at some point.
Just know you're going to look stupid doing it.
At 49.
Yeah, you're going to look for sure.
That arrested development thing, you're trying to get your shit off at 49, 55.
The girls are putting pressure on niggas that's 33.
They're undergrads that you're 33, nigga.
You still doing such and such.
I'm like, wait, what?
At 33, my life was all fucked up.
Yeah, I was in ish house.
Every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Anyways.
That's cool.
What's important?
Or unimportant?
Well, important is shout out to Asia Wilson.
Indeed.
Yes, absolutely.
Won another, and the whole ACES squad won another WNBA championship, third in four years.
The ratings were great.
ABC said it's the best ratings ever.
A lot of people watched it.
A lot of people were excited about it.
She
ran the whole gamut this year of everything.
Player of the year,
MVP scoring leader, finals MVP.
Defensive player of the year.
Defensive player of the year.
Swept the finals.
I mean, you can't have a better single season maybe ever.
The whole game winner over a married couple stat.
That's
a good one.
And it was vicious, too.
A game winner over a married couple?
Yeah.
First time.
That's fly.
That is fly.
That was fly.
And my favorite part was watching at the end how much joy they had.
Like her at the press car.
She was drunk as hell.
Oh, Oh, yeah.
She was lit.
I liked it.
With the tambourine.
Hey, I loved it.
Do it.
That's what I see.
Sarcastic personality stars showing.
That's how you create superstars.
She is a superstar.
And I love star resonating with you like that.
It creates something else.
For real.
And I loved watching her and bam out of bio too.
I love watching couples.
celebrate each other, support each other, stand up for each other.
It was real dope just to watch it.
Yeah, it was cute watching her become a people.
Yeah.
Oh, baby, thank you so much.
Baby.
People pointed out that she hugged her father for just like five seconds and then she held him.
People on the internet are miserable, miserable.
You counting the hug times between family members is crazy.
And how long do you want adult people to hug their dad?
How long should that hug be?
Right.
No, it depends on you.
With your dad?
Depends on your dad.
Nigga, if I win the chip tomorrow, me and my dad.
Quick dad.
It's the only issue if they trained you.
Like, I mean, it's her fourth ring.
But, like, I mean, for the first ring, if I've trained you your whole life from age five to be a pro and you win your first championship and you give me a pound and hug it, this dude you've been dating for six months, I might feel away.
True.
But fourth championship, and you with the dude you might go and be with, I ain't tripping on the fourth.
At this stage, I ain't tripping by you.
I'm used to you winning.
Yeah,
this is par for the course.
I'm used to you winning.
Another one, that's a good thing.
Do y'all have those moments where y'all have to go and be bam out of bio in your relationship?
Yeah, every day.
Yeah.
Facts.
Well, just go.
Not just support, but like support.
No, no, no.
What I I mean is Bam is a star.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
We're in a public platform, and then there's this moment where you being in a public platform doesn't matter, where you got to go there and kind of show us about her.
Any family or work-related or anything?
Yeah, for sure.
Always.
I just want to pause the show, walk in the get.
All right.
That's a little good, actually.
That's when I see it in action.
Hey, that's when I pull a chip up.
She smelling like something in here.
That's the one.
Hey.
And then on the way out, you give him a little smack on the ass.
Hey, you're doing that shit.
This shit looks good.
I don't know.
Fuck me.
Me too.
Me too.
Me too, though.
I love you, baby.
Oh, but.
That it?
Moving on.
Stephen A.
Smith, man.
Did y'all see when Serena's?
No, I want to answer it now, but now we look like shit ass.
We've got to find a way to answer it.
Repeat the question.
Do we ever show up for our girls?
Use it in a phrase.
Yeah.
Use it in tricky words.
Use in a sentence.
Too many tricky words again.
Yeah, repeat it for me.
Absolutely.
I'm just saying, the bam out of bio moment, I'm wondering if there are moments where you have to be the bam out of bio in your relationships in that way.
Because we all support our ladies.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about like in that very particular way.
When it's her time to shine.
When it's her time to shine, because you also got to shrink.
Like, if you're bam out of bio there, you don't want to take too many interviews.
You don't want to ask, answer too many questions, but you also want to be be present to show that you support her.
But you got to kind of, it's a tricky thing, especially when you're when you're in jobs like we got, right?
So I was just wondering, I don't have, I'm not in that situation a lot.
So I was curious to know if that would be a lot of fun.
I'm like that when I go to her house.
Well, I let her run it.
Okay.
Look at my baby.
He actually ran his back to be just before.
All right, let's do this shit.
I can shut up.
You can't.
I'm going to let it go back.
You got to go ask some more.
My baby, knowing the dating time.
She knows what day it is over here.
The paper towels up there?
She killing shit.
She's killing it.
Yo, you're an idiot, bro.
I'm like that
when I go to the
hussunk football games.
I'm supporting that.
I'm supporting that.
I have to hide and just, it's not about me.
I thought that anything that's like her focus,
she was doing, what you call it, passion show shit.
I had to just sit there and chill.
Let her
be her.
Girl, all the little girlfriend birthday party shit.
I'm trying.
I'm trying, man.
I want to be an asshole though.
Joe asshole.
I want to be an asshole so bad, but it's right there.
This mad asshole.
That's a feminism show.
I love this.
That's mad asshole shit that I could say.
But she going to fuck me up, and I don't want to deal with that.
Fair enough.
Can Can we just get a little bit of silence?
Ow, nigga, you hurt me.
I'm sorry.
I did hit you kind of.
I'm sorry.
Fuck you.
You did that so I could feel your strength.
Can I hear more about you at the fashion show?
No.
You just sit front.
No.
Oh, come on.
Please.
Please, please, freeze.
But where do you sit?
You sit in the back?
No, he sits front, bro.
Yeah, I gotta hear it.
Because what does allow her to be her?
We watching you, motherfucker.
He got that all so smooth.
Yo, I gotta sit there and let her be hurt.
What were you wearing?
No, you don't.
We're pressing these niggas.
No, you gotta let her be hugged.
No, it's not about your mom.
It's not about you.
What'd you wear?
Some regular shit.
I'm not fashionable.
I think you are.
I'm not.
But where you be at when she's in the back?
Sitting in the car.
That's the question.
What do you think?
Corey said, where was this fashion show at?
Ayo, I.
Can't do no fucking.
Hey, missing piece.
That's the last fashion.
Hey, let's put our foot down.
They can't keep pursuing their dreams.
You want to step on their dreams?
Yes.
I was about to say.
He said it was a holiday in fashion.
Nah.
Yo, yo, yo, you good?
Yeah.
Watch your fucking mouth, Corey.
That's disrespectful.
Yeah, we're not for you.
Don't do that, Corey.
That's the bullshit with the folded wooden chairs.
I know what you're talking about.
That's not what you fucking fucking mouth.
Don't talk about my family.
Don't play with the family.
Pull a flip.
Don't talk about my family.
So dumb.
You can't.
And I like the fact that Free got the confidence to say, yo, go ahead and do your thing.
I support you.
That's fine.
We make jokes about you all the time.
Or you ain't friendly.
We ain't letting them.
You talk about
just do what they want to do.
Not what you want to do, but if it's a fancy.
You get one blue fashion, Joe.
And I got to know
to have the designer to.
Oh, for sure.
He definitely did some background checks.
Come on, man.
All right.
Icebox.
I'm a feminist.
You can walk for Miskeen.
My girl used to fucking...
She was
a child actress or some shit.
So when...
I'll snuff one of y'all.
I'll snuff one of y'all.
So anytime a commercial come on with like kids in it.
She critique it?
No.
Like she start wanting to have her dreams again.
She like, I'm going to call the agency.
I was like, no, you're not.
If you don't get your ass.
She can't model
or act?
If you don't make this bazaar, you're not.
Come on, son.
Let her walk.
When I tell y'all, I am going to get my ass kicked in the name of content.
And y'all, just look at y'all's friends.
Just let me know.
I love you, baby.
And yes, she could get back to the agency.
There you go.
Getting the commercials and shit.
I've been dying of getting commercials.
Oh, what if she's getting them before you?
No, you do not understand what I just said.
It's gonna be us.
No, shit.
It's gonna be us.
She'll do commercials with us.
They don't need you.
It's gonna be us in the match and shit.
They don't need you.
Yo, be Jay-Z like Sean Paul.
Yo, yo, yo, you can leave him.
Leave him.
We just, we got the scene.
None of
Barbara videos are focused on the haircut.
Wait, what?
None of the what?
What did he say?
What did he say?
Yo, why the fuck?
What is your problem?
Oh, shit.
What did he say?
Don't worry, Larry.
Did y'all look at the dog?
No, I ain't see nothing.
No, I didn't see it.
What are you talking about?
Her camera, people.
Oh, my God.
We got to see the actual cut.
She got the camera all on her fucking ass.
These new age barbars are fucking lunatics.
I can't even...
I'm trying to judge the line up right.
Yo, you gotta see Ishra.
I'm looking at the fucking tips.
She's bitches, mother.
This nigga.
Oh, yeah, niggas.
Yo, what is your problem?
He's right.
Because he's seen the clips.
We know that camera is angled the wrong way.
All right, good boy.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, man, yo.
If you are an up-and-coming barber, we got to see the cut, is all I'm saying.
What else do we got, man?
I saw it.
Recession's dismission.
Recession where?
I got a headache, yo.
God damn it.
Oh, one of them was.
She calls her freaky barber.
She on OnlyFans and all that.
Nigga, my nigga could cut it out.
Oh, the shop.
Motherfucker.
This shit would have been innovative in 01.
Oh, shit, the stripper.
The stripper barber.
Nigga, the whole hood would have been seized.
I'm passing for everybody's tuition.
Yo, the whole hood.
She was a little bitch.
Nobody give a fuck.
Nobody knows what I give up.
We don't give a fuck.
Oh, man.
Anyway,
did y'all see
y'all need to grow up.
You stupid.
Your lineup looking different.
You the first nigga I ordered.
If somebody
don't try
to get a fucking shape up from nobody ex.
You gotta just go to to your barber, yo.
Anyways.
God, look at this nigga mustache.
He ain't learned a mustache yet.
Nigga try to have a whole conversation, nigga.
Now we have a whole new.
Listen to what you were saying.
Y'all dumb as fuck.
Serena Williams' husband appeared on first tape
and attempted to get his shit off against Stephen A.
No, he got it off.
Well, that's what I want to talk to y'all about.
I didn't love it.
Let me play the clip first so the audience knows what's going on.
Other one.
Now, where that is, I don't know.
Behind, right?
Yeah, right there.
You say he did get his.
He got his shit off.
I thought he got his shit off.
Don't touch my jacket again.
Don't touch my jacket.
Don't throw it on me.
Don't throw it on me.
Those are jeans, right?
And?
I'm asking.
Oh, those are the sweats.
Jeans.
Sweat jeans.
I gotta ask.
It's still spacing this shit.
I'm gonna find this clip
of Steve and A.
You take footballers jeans on Steinway, man?
No, man.
Oh, my God.
Hey, y'all ain't gonna lie.
I just throw them off.
I watched that.
I watched that barber video.
I'm sorry.
I just throw it on.
She tried to have a whole conversation.
Girl, we're not listening to you.
She tried to do an interview by giving a nigga a shape up.
She was in a LeBron shit?
I said,
what's she talking talking about?
That shit was hanging.
This is where you've been this whole time.
All right.
I got a clip for y'all.
Let's get back to it.
Y'all are stupid.
The lickback power drinks.
RC, what's Stephen A is saying?
If he was in that situation and now he's married, he's not allowing any of that to happen.
Hold on, no, no, no.
That's what he is saying.
If I'm married.
And my wife is going to join troll and her ex, go back to his ass.
Because clearly
you don't belong with me.
What you worried about him for and you with me?
I'm not getting that big man.
I'm out of here.
Also, too,
Stephen A.
Smith, you had some, I think you had some marriage advice for me.
Is that right?
Well, you know what?
Listen, I did it.
People, you know, headlines are headlines.
We can get into that another time.
But I'm not sure.
I was hoping you were
hoping you were weird.
Oh, I'm no, oh, no, no, I am not qualified.
Married?
Well,
I ain't qualified, my brother.
Homeboy kept going.
I was going to ask you, because because you hadn't been married before, right?
I am married.
No, no, Cee.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, because I give advice to plenty of founders who want to build billion-dollar companies.
And the reason I do that is because I build billion-dollar companies.
So I generally try to stay in my lane of advice.
No, we'll talk marriage advice later.
I'm 13 years strong.
We got to.
Alexis, thank you so much.
Yeah.
I mean, he did his thing.
I respect that.
Oh, look.
Distinguished panel.
It's two ways.
Look, I respect that.
No, he did his thing.
He stood up for his wife, which I think he should.
He should have stood up for himself.
And himself.
I did TV people.
You caught some bars and all that mess, too.
So he had all the right in the world to say, yo, go ahead and do that shit.
Yeah.
That's true.
But you from TV.
I was saying he handles his business.
I thought Stephen A didn't follow the.
Stephen A would have played into that more, but we wouldn't.
No, he wouldn't.
You don't think so?
No, no, he wouldn't.
I think Stephen A, the ultimate professional.
They picked nine, nine different ways to get out of that.
Yes, they did.
No, that's for sure.
She was trying to get him out of that.
It wasn't.
It was both of them, though.
I thought Stephen A first first didn't catch it.
Headlines are headlines.
We can get to that at another time.
We can get to that at another time.
It was him saying, let's talk about this another time.
He went on to say, like, everything about that said,
we know what you're trying to do.
Not right this second.
You are who you are.
So we ain't even got a long talk break on you.
Like, we either coming out or going
out or coming in.
We don't have all this time to do that.
So they was trying to lead him, but he was still bent on getting his shit off.
Then I think even more so, I wish Stephen A would just let him get that off.
I just thought it could have been a cleaner clip to go viral or whatever.
I didn't like it just from a production side, but I thought what he said was great.
I would have done the same thing.
I thought what he said was great, and I think what Stephen A.
Smith did was professional.
He tried to get out of it.
He self-humiliated.
Yeah, me, me, marriage, and all, man, I'm dummy over this.
Like, he tried to, you know what I'm saying?
Dummy qualified.
Yeah, yeah, I ain't qualified.
You know what I'm saying?
He tried ahead of the joke.
So
I think he tried to be a joke.
That's what I did.
I'm getting ahead of it.
That's, I guess that's what I'm trying to say.
Yeah.
He saw where it was going.
He's like, yo, let me get out of this.
Yo, yeah, I'm not married.
I'm not qualified.
What would the opposite side be?
The engage?
No, no, no.
Like, because he said, like, headlines.
He did say that.
Like, the thing dude was, he's accusing him of.
He said.
And he kind of acted like he didn't.
That's the part I'm saying.
If he had just not done that part and just let it go.
No, but I'm not saying anything wrong.
I'm saying that.
The homeboy was corny.
You thought he came up for the bus?
I don't think he was corny.
I think that was corny.
No.
Why?
Why?
See why?
It wasn't.
It was corny, one, because the person that you spinning on done back down nine times already.
Twice.
I see what you're saying.
Okay, cool.
You had an awful lot to say.
That's why I'm saying it didn't look good for TV.
You had an awful lot to say when I wasn't here.
Now we can address this.
The back down addresses it.
Yes.
The back down addresses it.
I'm still getting my shit.
I get the shit off here, too.
So cool.
Then you want to get your shit all right.
Cool.
So you get it.
I say it from both.
How he came off in getting his shit off.
Like, I get the point of stay in your lane, give advice in areas that you have some type of expertise at.
And for me, that's
a billion dollars.
Not just that.
I'm going to talk this big, dick shit.
Exactly.
Yo, I build billion-dollar companies.
Stay in your little sports media lane.
And I got to defend my wife.
And the woman in my wife's honor and my own honor.
This is a woman I got to home and see every day, nigga.
Who knows how much affected her?
I'm not mad at defending your wife.
Please don't make me sound like that.
No, I get it.
I just think the manner in which he chose to do so, I think he could have also came off better if she was in a different LA.
Uber aggressive.
That's what I'm saying from a TV perspective.
It didn't look as it didn't look cool.
It wasn't like a clean knockout.
It looked a little corny.
I don't think he was corny, but the exchange didn't.
I didn't like the way the exchange went.
I think the exchange.
Because on Steven got a joke and says, I don't know what I got no place for this.
It's harder for his joke to last.
Yeah, he didn't.
He tried to take the sting out of of it.
But that's right.
Him spending that way on Stephen A made me somehow understand the Drake bar more.
Because if you do that on TV on the spin, the chances are you've done some dick edge about this.
You're just a dick.
You're just a pretentious
dickety, dickety.
But I buy a bill.
Billion dollar businesses.
And I'm going to build a billion.
Do you have a billion?
He got more than Stephen A?
No, from what I heard.
That's why the guy, huh?
From what I heard, he got hella, hella money.
Do you have a billion?
No.
From what I say, he's got a billion.
Don't say the B word when you spend it on a money.
Do you give an advice to Stephen?
He got more than Stephen A.
If I got more than the person I'm spinning it on, I could talk about the fucking shit I want to have with a billion.
If you have a billion-dollar companies with an S,
yeah.
I don't know that he has.
I don't know what he has.
I don't know what he's doing.
I don't know what he has either.
But again, if he has a reputation at the end of the day, well, if he has more than Stephen A, I don't think he would have been saying, oh, I'm an advisor and I give advice.
I think he would have stunted on.
I believe he's worth a few hundred million, but I'm going to look.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I think it's a few hundred million.
Oh, so that was his.
No, he stopped it.
He stopped it.
That was the thing.
He's got a lot of money.
So he's just stunting it.
Yeah, he got a lot of money.
That's not bad as well.
And still say that.
A stun could come off corner.
Mind your single business when you're talking to a married man about marriage.
You can keep my watch name out your mouth.
He's worth a buck 50 according as of 2024.
Oh, yeah.
Stephen A got shut the fuck up.
That's what I'm saying.
He's not.
Yeah.
See, but I would have seen, I guess what I'm saying then is,
I would have loved that.
I would like to hear that conversation.
I'm worth $150 million, Stephen A.
And again.
And I give advice.
And growing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would have liked to see him shape it like that, I guess I'm saying.
I mean, but I think that that is implied within the I built multiple billion-dollar companies conversation.
But again, I think it comes back to the married versus non-married conversation.
There's a lot of commentary about married people and what their wives are doing.
And you should be you're going to let her say this and let her do this and let her say that.
You're not married.
Shut the fuck up.
And you don't know what their marriage is.
Shut the fuck up.
Hold up, Joe.
Ishai, shut the fuck up right now.
Let these niggas cook.
Let them cook.
I was going to ask you, what's Stephen Nay, forget about whether you agree with the advice or not.
Is he out of pocket for giving advice?
No.
I don't think he was actually trying to give advice.
I think he was
just entertaining or
giving this personal opinion.
He was just yapping.
Or should I say this?
Should you come, like, because his whole point is, like you said, if you're not married, don't talk about married people.
Shit, he's saying, if my wife wouldn't do this, my wife wouldn't do that.
Is that out of bounds?
I don't think it is.
I mean, I don't think it is.
It's not necessarily out of bounds, but you don't have a wife, so I don't really want to hear you say what my wife will and won't do.
It's easiest to say.
We do that up here every day.
Same way, way, anytime there's some kick conversation, I got to shut the fuck up.
If you're not married, shut the fuck up.
It's easier said than done.
When you're in a relationship and you're close with your partner, a lot of times, in order to keep the relationship satisfied, you allow, not allowed, but you look the other way when certain things happen or when they want to do certain things.
You support your partner.
If she wanted to go over there and quit walk and disrespect her ex, you're going to support her.
Again, the ex that also disrespected him.
Right.
Exactly.
That's the key cog in this whole argument.
Both of us.
Yeah.
Right.
Drake said something about him.
Yeah, baby, you can go
all the fuck you want.
Actually, do it twice.
Do what that next couple rounds.
Spin around and do it too.
Yeah.
Do you think homeboy went up to ESPN with a battery's back from his wife?
Like, do you think she said you better represent for us when you go up there?
Or do you think he did it all over?
I think he might have told her, I'm going to do this.
I don't think she put that.
That's why when he backed down,
he ain't submit.
That was his.
He kept going.
I felt like he got up here for the sole purpose of doing this.
Yeah, let's also remember who she is.
As someone who is an ESPN mainstay for 20 years and a legend in the game, yeah, go up there, cook.
And she can't do it.
I mean, she could, but.
It's not the same.
It's a woman.
Yeah.
Like, you need
a woman and she's a legend.
She ain't got no business going back and forth with Stephen A.
Shut up, nigga.
You're an athlete.
You averaged one point in high school.
My dad, the other day, who must have just learned how to use his phone,
he sent me,
I didn't even know he was on TikTok.
My dad's on TikTok yet.
That's funny.
That's funny himself.
He sent me 13 TikToks of people just kicking Stephen A's back in.
Hell, I know you're fucking.
Until I said, Dad.
Why do you have a TikTok?
I didn't even know you had TikTok.
But he's like, no, I'm on TikTok and I see all of these videos of people kicking Stephen A's back in.
And I have been telling you for years upon years upon years, even when Stephen A.
came up there and did that show,
that I don't fuck with him.
I don't fuck with his takes.
I don't fuck with him on black matters.
I don't fuck with this and then he pulls out his Rolodex or all the fuck shit that Stephen A has done over the past half and a year, which I'm aware of.
But yes, it seems that Stephen A has turned up the
cunameter.
He said a lot of dumb shit.
No, he just recently and recently.
No, he just recently.
He's gone crazier.
He shot at
Jasmine Crockett.
Sounding stupid again.
He sounded nuts.
He sounded nuts.
Stephen A.
got a lot of money for them, people.
Yeah.
And You got to try to keep up.
Here's how I feel about that.
You got to try to keep up with the Joneses, bro.
You got to try to keep up with the time, meaning that you have to try to hold your position.
You got a lot of money.
You have to entertain.
You have to get the card dates.
You got to do whatever you can do.
Your numbers up.
Stay afloat.
Yeah.
You got to keep your numbers up.
Yeah, but some of that shit is not going to age well.
Yeah, and at what expense?
Because, again, no disrespect to him.
I remember how soft he went on.
What was the quarterback that was doing the fuck shit in Mississippi?
In Mississippi.
Brett Favre.
Brett Favre.
He ain't say much.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, he just went over that shit with a light brush.
But when it came to Kyrie, when it came to other people, he like put two footed, two feet in, and went all in.
And it's like,
like, where are you drawing a line on morality or where are you drawing a line with regards to your opinions?
I understand that clickbaits is what people do in this business, but you can't pick and choose when you want to be clickbaity.
See, I struggle.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
I struggle with
Stephen A.
I know Stephen A long time.
time.
And I like him a lot.
And he's been good dude.
I think he's dope.
He's a good dude.
He's a legend.
He's an absolute.
No one has done what he does better than him ever.
But I remember when he first got let go from ESPN, and
I was working at Fox News, I believe.
I can't remember.
We were both at Fox News doing some shows together.
And we got a chance to spend some time together just talking about politics and stuff.
I think he believes a lot of this shit.
I think our assumption a lot of times is that people are selling out or they're doing things for claims.
They're pandering.
And again, sometimes people believe that shit.
And I think he's wrong.
But
I think he's a lot more conservative than people think.
I think people assume if you're black, you're going to be a liberal on all these issues.
And he's genuinely not.
I've also heard him have some fairly liberal ideologies, at least maybe that was the pandering part.
I think he's like a black Democrat, a middle-aged black Democrat, right?
Like you're going to vote Democrat.
Fairly centrist.
Yeah, but fairly centrist.
You know what I mean?
I don't know that he voted democrat i'm only going by what he told me in the past now the trump one i can't speak to i don't believe he voted for trump because he's he's he was you know i can't speak to the last election but i know what he told me in the past got it prior to the last four years um
but it wouldn't shock me if he voted for trump and what i'm seeing now is i think i don't think he's lying about what he believes but i think what he does do strategically maybe is like you said and like you said kind of like
Certain issues are going to go, I think he really disagrees with Jasmine Crockett, but he knows that's going to get clicks.
You know, supporting, agreeing with Donald Trump on this thing is going to get clicks.
And the shit that we might all agree on with him, he's not going to say because it's not controversial enough to get the clicks.
I think he's strategic about what he highlights for the money,
which to me is just as unprincipled.
It's a manner, in my opinion.
If I disagree with Jasmine Crockett, right?
What was the thing that he disagreed with about Jasmine Crockett in this context?
Basically, she ain't doing nothing for her district.
Instead of coming out here blasting Donald Trump, she needed to be focused
on doing for her district, which is is kind of a right-wing talking point because Jasmine Clark actually is supporting the district.
She's doing a lot in Houston, and I support everything.
He also went crazy when Joy lost her gig.
Yeah, for sure.
He went too crazy when Joy lost her gig.
And that was my point.
Like, I think that he's been gun-ho when Trump has come up in certain topics, like repping for him.
He's been a little off.
I agree.
Agree.
And tomorrow's point, maybe not off because we also have to throw in his political aspirations in this.
Like, whichever one is.
I think those are real.
Yes.
I think they're real.
Yes.
Yeah, I do.
At first, I didn't think so.
His show, his show on YouTube, he does a lot of political.
He started a new political, basically a new political show.
Yeah, he's trying to really be in that lane.
Oh, sure.
Which is also hard.
I mean, it's one thing to go from NBA to boxing or football, which I think is a stretch.
It's not very good at football.
Watching him do UFC for me was hard to watch.
But to go to politics when that's not your area is really tough.
So I think some of these takes areas.
ties in to the other conversation that you wanted to have about whether that type of behavior is inevitable at a certain, in a certain tax bracket.
And I don't think it's that hard to
pivot.
Yeah, especially when you're a black popular man.
And if you want to run on the Republican side of things, it's not.
Herschel Walker was up there.
He can't talk.
You get what I'm saying?
So I think you're going to be accepted.
You have a voice.
You have a platform.
You have a following.
Come on in.
And I think they'll welcome you in more so you a long time ago i don't even know if you were up here at this point or you might have it might have been your first time when you uh guest hosted and you said dog if i wanted to go oh yeah to the to the other side i would be filthy rich yeah because the conservatives would welcome you with open arms like look at this phd black man he's supporting us just give him the money because he has enough influence that he could pull some people over
yeah and i think i think that they would welcome stephen a with open arms if he decided to go to the conservative side of the aisle.
I think he would be,
you know what I mean?
Like, they would be recruiting that nigga
like a college athlete.
So, do y'all think some of this is kind of like laying the groundwork?
Yes.
Maybe.
Not so.
Like, yes.
Like, I'm showing y'all or playing seeds, basically.
I'm showing y'all where I stand.
You think all niggas are laying the groundwork.
And then there's this moment where they perform outrage.
Like, you know, I had it with the Democrats.
I tried to be independent.
I tried to do this.
Now I got to go over there.
It's all, like you said, laying the groundwork.
And like you said, and then you end up this Republican leader with all this money coming in the thing I wondered about and this is sort of what we were starting talking about off air is is this an inevitable thing when you start getting too much money
i think that's what i think a great conversation is in there so we that's what we was having off mic i think that this is what i really will think i think that
when you get a certain amount of money especially if you got it out the mud
i think a lot of those people when i speak to them
They are no nonsense with regards to excuses.
And I think they look at the excuses like it's a liberal thing.
Okay.
You get what I'm saying?
I think they look at the excuses like, oh, you asking for handouts or you asking for this and that.
And that typically is something that's identified with the liberal, identifiable with the liberals.
I think that these niggas get in certain rooms and they be around certain people.
And I think they allow those opinions to sway them.
I do.
I think that when you up in that 200, 300, 400 million dollar bracket, I think they just get around people sometimes.
And
I think that the fodder becomes, it starts to stick.
I think I agree.
Once you're in certain social circles, I think that you start to take on some of the personalities of those social circles.
You believe you're one of them.
And I also, you know, back to your point when you get it out of the mud, like you're afraid of losing it, man.
Like,
as someone that's successful, a lot of people get afraid of it.
I did it.
So you could do it.
I did it.
So you could do it.
Or that too.
You might have been the one out of 700,000.
That don't mean that the odds or the systems in place are not still
against us.
Typically, conservative politics lend more towards favoring wealthy people keeping their money.
And I think the people who work really hard for their money want to keep their money and are willing to be okay with any of the other ideologies that the rent
shit has just to keep their money.
And definitely not give it to the people who didn't work as hard within the logic of their argument.
So that just leads me, I think, to the most sort of fundamental question, which is sort of Joe, when
are you going to jump the shark?
when are you going to like what's the number where you turn to a complete
you know I'm gonna say piece of shit
but certainly close to it got a head start on that part
I don't
you know it's funny about that
I think when you ask most people how much money they would like to make,
I think that they have a number in mind.
For me, it's the opposite.
Like, there's like a certain number where I wouldn't want to make it for the reasons that y'all are stating.
I've heard a lot of people say that too.
I told y'all,
I can't get a billion dollars.
Like, I can't get
super, super, super rich.
See, that number for me is not a billion.
I'm just saying, but it's not a billion, but
10 billion.
Get crazy rich like that.
Is it more than a billion?
Yeah, nigga, he has a billion dollars in his sights.
Yeah.
What you talking about?
It's more than a billion.
I don't know.
I don't, I don't know.
So, look, so what number then?
I thought the number of people.
You said this is a number that's scary.
Pocket watch.
There's a number where
there's a number where they would allow me in certain rooms and behave.
There's an expected behavior that comes with
the admittance.
You think so?
Yeah, I think so.
See, I think it's just the opposite.
Yes.
I think depending upon what your value is, they'll accept and tolerate your behavior.
No, not
really.
Oh, but I think that's what I'm telling you.
I think you're thinking about
in-the-room behavior versus how you
use your platforms and use your money to influence things.
So like a Zuckerberg, he's more liberal, right?
Correct.
A lot of the FANG guys that were standing behind the Republicans, and by the way, I don't want to make this like a partisan thing because there's nothing wrong with having that side.
A lot of them had liberal ideologies, but then I think there's pressure to
come over here.
And again, the conversation I'm not having is not the conversation.
The conversation i'm having is not a political one yeah that's not my world i'm just talking about getting a certain certain amount of money and what is expected upon you and is that with your belief system or is it against your belief system so basically like once you get in them rooms you got to be one of us
that's or you got to at least show that you're one of us you know i mean
that's one of the ways to that's one of the ways to grow wealth in this country
or that's one of the ways i was this all morning i've been watching um i've been watching just think Pieces on Gilbert Arras.
Gilbert Arenas did a live with a gentleman named Lowe, who is pretty well informed in his streaming, his streaming world.
He's somebody.
I wasn't familiar with him, but, and the dude Lowe was just asking him all about his business.
And it was Gil, one of his co-hosts, and Brandon Jennings.
And he was.
All right, so who owns what?
All right, so you don't own your shit.
All right, so you, it's 50-50 you and who?
Okay, so who owns the YouTube channel?
Okay, so how much money he was grilling him, and it came out that Gil basically, I don't want to call it a 360, the internet is caught saying that Gil is in a 360.
And they're trying to paint that as a bad thing.
It's not always a bad thing.
Especially when you've made as much money as Gilbert Arena.
Gilbert Arena was already over $300 million.
So him and his co-hosts and what it costs to keep them and what it costs for the set, that's a lot of money,
Gil was saying, yo, they pay for all that.
they pay for my talent uh fees and yada yada yada yada but anyway i bring it up to say i too have been offered situations where
i sell 50
terrifying to me terrifying or 51
because now we open the door for my belief system to just be trampled over.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so you don't control it.
Not at all.
Now whatever you say goes, which is cool in business.
That won't work for you.
But
in moral land, no, you can't just, no, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night today.
Would you say?
Today.
Today, today, today.
I reserve the right to change my mind at all times.
But today,
no, not for me.
Would you sell 49%?
No.
Today.
But I'm just saying, now that keep, you still keep the controlling interest.
Now I got to go in the room and explain something to somebody.
True.
Now I got to go in the room and explain something and get a boardroom to see things my way.
Now we got to take a vote.
Now we got to.
And where you are in your life, it don't behoove you to do it today.
Well, and back full circle back to my point,
I don't want $200 million right now.
I don't, I'm not even educated enough to have $200 million right this second.
No.
It's more shit about taxes I got to learn.
It's more, it's just more I got to learn.
Money just sitting around in the bank so you can look at it or you put it over here and the money more.
No, no, no, I don't want to touch it.
I learned on the floor.
That's your fucking mind.
That wouldn't be a reason.
Yo, because I don't know what to do.
There's some niggas out here that'll give you some shit.
Yeah, there's a lot of people that made a lot of money and did well for them.
With every dollar comes expectations.
That too.
With every dollar comes expectations.
Where I am right now and how I want year 45, 250 to be, God willing, if he's a great guy, which he is,
there's not a world where I even need $200 million.
Joe, by the time you're 50, you got $200 million.
On my own.
I know.
My way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Without having to answer to nobody.
Without having to talk to nobody.
I played a long game.
No, I'm agreeing with you.
I'm a long game.
I didn't say you need nobody to get it.
I'm saying you could get it by the time you're 50.
But I'm saying somebody coming to front you that right now, right?
Like they, hey, 200 million, 200 million.
Are you on the million?
99 out of 100 people, maybe 98 people say, I'll take it.
Let me get that right now.
Yeah.
And then I'll take that.
I don't need that right now.
No, I think where your life is
to that point.
I think where your specific life is.
Stop.
Today.
Today.
I think if you had $200 million to your point, it would just be some.
Losing money.
It would just be something that would be losing money.
I'm losing money and I will owe somebody some money.
Now people telling me some shit.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I like this.
like it is today.
That makes sense.
My parents is good.
My kids is good.
My friends is good.
Retirement is good.
This is everything is good right now.
Greed kills a lot of people.
That's a fact.
Greed kills a lot of people.
You know what happens to, I think, and excess.
Excess.
Somebody asked a good question online.
Is true freedom?
What did they say?
It was such a great question.
Is true freedom
freedom
with options, freedom of options, or freedom with limitations.
They were saying which one is true freedom.
Freedom with options.
I mean, I would say options off the top, but I would say that.
That seems like what everybody would say.
Yeah.
But my stupid ass
linked it back to my fantasy season
two years ago.
Okay.
Where
my team was loaded, top to bottom.
I had every option in the world.
Paralysis.
So I lost.
Option paralysis.
Yeah, yeah.
So I lost because anything in the world I wanted to do, I could have did.
I think freedom comes from within.
And sometimes finance, I don't think finance can play a part in that.
Depending on,
I think if you're living in a manner that you're happy and you can afford everything that you need to afford.
Then what else is there?
See, I'm with that.
Ish, I want to hear your point on this.
I'm going to go to Will Smith.
Shit that he was saying.
What you have to say on that?
What's the question?
The definitive question.
Well, we've advanced it from what I was saying, but I agree with what Parks is saying, right?
Like,
what do you need?
Identify what you need and what you want.
True.
Like, what do most of us need and what we want?
No, but I'm saying combine them, not separate them, combine them.
I need the car, I need the house.
What else do you need?
I need some clothes.
Let me feel that.
I need some clothes.
I need whatever you need, combine them.
Like, what number
just takes care of everything?
The problem is, once you hit that, then you're going to want more.
You want more.
Not everybody.
A lot of people.
No, that's true.
A lot of people is like, oh, shit, I realized, damn, now this opens me up to a whole nother world.
All right, now I want that.
Now I want this.
Now I want to be able to do that.
But at least at that point, you're at the want space.
To me, the piece comes at the point where I no longer have to stress
about money.
I still spend nights trying to figure out how to make some things happen.
Not like food, but like, okay, I got to pay my daughter's tuition.
It's a senior year in college.
I got to pay that out of pocket.
I got to still figure shit out.
I want to be in a space where I don't use brain time or emotional energy or lose an ounce of sleep thinking about how to make things happen.
Literally.
Anything past that, to me, is excess.
I'm okay with some excess, but I'm just saying that's the point.
That's my dream is just to get to that space.
A little
access is fun.
You know what I mean?
But a lot of people, when they reach that goal, like Ish said, not like Free said, they do want more.
You become complacent.
You sit there, you're trying to, and you're watching things.
When your eyes, when you start to see, when you walk into a room you start to see different things you want to there's also a thing that happens too with the more money you make and i've experienced this i remember my first time experiencing this was i think we were doing state of the culture and
uh i was getting paid whatever rate and then i found out if i bought my own shit i could charge them like three times my rate
and it was like oh shit okay
I had to work less hard for way more money because I had the money to make this fucking $15,000, $20,000 investment or whatever it was at the time.
And I think that's a thing that happens with people with money is you actually are working less at some point.
So you become bored and now it's time to play.
I think it's a deeper conversation.
This is a very deep conversation.
I think that what happens is a lot of times people aren't happy with who they are, who they are married to,
who
their life at home.
And I think that they chase accomplishments as a means of fulfillment.
Yeah.
So if I, like me right now, it's me, my girl, and my daughter.
And the dog.
And the Labrador.
And the new dog.
What's his name?
Milo.
I don't use this word.
I didn't say hi.
I didn't say no.
Damn it.
It ain't my family.
It's not my dog.
The milkshake?
My baby wanted to name the dog.
My baby wanted to name the dog Jack.
I was with Jack.
My nigga did.
Of course you were.
So then my girl's son said.
Then she said Lilo for Lilo and Stitch.
Then they changed.
So what I'm saying is, I think a lot of times people chase things as a means of fulfillment.
Like, yo, and that, and it distracts you.
You know what I'm saying?
Because necessarily, you don't necessarily be happy at home.
So you want to be on the go.
You want to be tackling this new adventure and this new deal that, you know what I'm saying, is going to give you this temporary sense of fulfillment.
It's like a new car or a new house.
I think where I am in my life, my nigga, if I had a 5,000 square foot house, that's enough for me.
I don't need the 10,000 square foot house, I don't need the 12,000 square foot house, and I don't think that would change with regards to money.
I think the size would be perfect.
I'll go get some fly shit, like with the you know, the pools, and
but I don't need a bigger house.
If I had two cars, three cars, I'm cool with that.
I don't need more.
I think a lot of times people be searching for material possessions or more money as a means of.
I told Angie last time I went to have hookah dinner with her.
I was like, yeah, I want to buy some fucking, I want to build house.
I want to buy some $10 million house.
I want a
big.
She's just like, why?
The ability of me.
What?
Listen, I go on Zillow now.
Capricorn.
I'm a Zillow gangster at 45.
If I ain't doing nothing, I'm going to just type in some towns.
I'm going to just type in some top towns.
Get the top 10.
Top 15 came out two days ago.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, when you seen the top 15?
Came out two days ago.
I don't know that.
What do It's the top 15 wealthiest towns in New Jersey.
Yeah.
I'm sure I've seen that list.
Just came out.
I thought about it.
This is a very quick aside.
I don't want to dwell too long.
We were by the campfire a couple weeks ago, or months ago, when I took that trip to Vermont.
And we were joking about when you search things now, like when you're shopping on Zillow, for instance, what's the order that you choose?
Lowest first.
Low and high?
Low to high or high to low.
I'll go high to low.
I go high to low.
That says a lot.
That's what
I'm saying.
It says a life has changed.
That's gangsta.
How life has changed.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'm slow.
You know how they got the preference in?
Do you go about the highest price?
The lowest price or the lowest price.
Joe, high for low, and filters.
That's the first time.
First time he does filter price.
That's crazy.
Okay.
It changes things.
Look at God.
Look at God.
Because you really will start.
You can see the low.
They give it options.
When I hit that advanced button, you don't get to page 12?
I get so perturbed if they start showing me some gists.
Some $700,000.
$2 million.
$2 million house.
$2,3 million.
What is this for?
Milo?
What do you think?
What do you think of a porphyrin?
Think about that.
Might as well eat porridge every day.
That's crazy.
Nah, but when I'm on Zillow and I'm scrolling and I'm scrolling,
I go looking to see what some of these big-ass fancy houses are going to cost a month.
Boy, I have fun doing that.
Yeah.
Oh, because they be having a mortgage calculation.
The zestimate.
Yo.
The zestimate on them houses I'm looking at.
I think to myself, even if this seemed like a good idea today,
why would somebody want to do this 10 years from now, 15 years, be 70 years old, paying 100 grand a month?
If it ain't no tax ramifications, a lot lot of times when niggas be buying them houses, they don't even be living in them.
That's banks.
They just be buying them.
It's banks.
It's a bank.
It's really their own personal bank.
And if you're doing that, then you've graduated from our talk.
We're not speaking against that.
That's right.
Salute.
Because I see those videos, too, of what y'all doing in that billionaire building.
The tall shit over there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
At the top.
Oh, yeah, where they story.
Where niggas living.
Don't nobody live in there.
Niggas just dumping 50 million.
88 million.
Yo, you want to know why Jay-Z bought the $97 million house?
We'll show you.
And hey, and they'll break it down.
Hey, anytime a video comes up from that billionaire building, I watch in complete detail.
Me too.
How do they get
a narrow staircase and a hundred units?
It's amazing.
Yo, no, the realtor job is so easy.
The whole shit is the best view in the world.
It's the best view in the world.
And then they walk you over there.
And this is the nook.
No, you can hear my whole crib.
You could sit there.
No, you could sit there and see the view.
What a bagel.
Anywhere you go.
Hey, this is a wine bar.
You could see the view from here.
I'm like, yo, dog, you in the bathroom.
Yeah, y'all have too much money.
Y'all have way too much money.
See, I don't know if I, I'm not where I am today.
I reserve the right to change my fucking mind.
Of course.
Today, I don't know if I ever need that.
Brother, they said the nigga got that shit and just stole it.
I don't know if I would ever need that.
Real quick.
Need, no.
When you say that's a bank.
That's not a need.
hold on
when you say that's a bank what do you hire uh growth in your investment no i say a bank like they were saying a dude that owned what like some of the top shit up there used it to store art it's like a vault yeah no it's a way to play it's a way people play with money okay so you'll go buy that you'll pull the money out you'll invest the money that you pulled the money out over here and your mortgage over here might be at a lower interest rate so you're making money off the money that you
it's a game that the wealthy motherfuckers play not to pay taxes to duck the tax man shit like that exactly yeah totally so if i'm investing the money i paid a hundred million for something and i pull 90 right back out got it so one the hundred million dollars that i spent might be not taxed on yeah right so i pulled the 90 out so the 90 is a loan you don't get taxed on loan money
you never it's the loan it's a loan so now i might go put that loan money over here at
10%, 12%,
and I'm only paying 4% on the money that I borrowed.
So basically, I'm making money.
And meanwhile, the house that you bought for $100 million is also
worth it.
Hopefully,
well, you figured it out.
That was a tricky thing.
Figured it out.
Yeah.
I got you, Ish.
I got you.
It's not a trick.
No, it's only a trick to you.
No, shit.
Oh, you my, you my.
You figured it out.
But no.
I see what you're saying.
Yeah,
I don't need that.
Go ahead and get yourself to that two-family and summit, man.
Go ahead and get yourself to that.
You think I live in a two-family yard?
Your mom.
I didn't say live.
I didn't say nothing about Living.
You said treat yourself to go get a two-family.
I wouldn't do that.
Why not?
It's not profitable for me.
Like that.
Bro, shit.
I don't want to have this conversation.
Give me your bad.
I don't want to have this conversation.
Look at my boy.
It's not profitable for you.
Get that four-family in North, though.
Hell wham.
Shit, they got some lots for sale in Jersey City.
They do.
Jersey City's a gold mine, bro.
In the pictures, they show you the lot still with the fine fare on it, too.
You playing?
Five.
They show you the lot with all the stores you get to knock down.
You playing.
No, it's good numbers on some of them shits.
Yo, when you talk about the money, my man is killing Tracy City right now.
Yo, when you started.
Look at my friend group.
What I'm going to do.
When you started getting money, right?
Come on, stop doing that.
I was shooting at that.
I'm laughing at that nigga with that nigga shooting.
I'm speaking at him.
Go ahead.
When you started getting money, man, what made you get into real estate?
Who made you get into real estate?
Ish.
Ish made you get into real estate?
Okay.
All right.
All right.
That's all I wanted to know.
Just wanted to know what was that moment for you?
And it was Ish.
Am I into real estate?
No.
And he lied.
Oh, what the fuck?
I was watching this exchange.
Like, look,
he's fucking lying.
He is in the real estate, but he ain't in the real estate in the capacity that he should be in the real estate.
And could be.
Yeah, but what made him start to invest in property?
My mother will smack you upside your head if you're not.
You know, Miss Faye is outside, bro.
Yeah, I'm saying I'm aware.
Yeah.
What are you doing, dummy?
Well, what else I'm gonna do?
I don't know if she'll say it like that.
She might.
What else I'm gonna do?
That's like page one of the Black People Financial Literacy trade book.
So, I mean, what I'm gonna do.
But you usually do that.
But I watch people make really bad decisions with their money.
Well, I don't care if she don't care if she listens.
My daughter's homegirl.
She just inherited a bunch of money, a few hundred thousand dollars.
And she called me like, what should I do with it?
And you ain't give her my number?
No.
No, I didn't want her to invest in that because, you know,
the drug laws are just
strict right now.
You know, I don't know.
And we don't trust her.
She's not Mexican.
Yeah, exactly.
It's going to go different.
No, but the first thing she wanted to do is open a business.
And I was like, this is a bad idea.
You don't have experience with this business.
You don't have, I'm not saying it's always a bad idea, but if you don't own a home already, she's renting, has a kid.
You know what I mean?
All these other factors.
I'm like, secure yourself, stabilize yourself.
And I feel like sometimes buying a business that's going to grow that money fast becomes page one instead of the real page one, which we were taught, which is investing,
get a house, pay it off, be able to take care of yourself, have a meal ticket forever.
To me, that's the first thing, and then you can do all this other shit.
But I don't, the thing she wanted to buy was not a crazy business, but it was just it's real easy to lose a couple hundred thousand dollars if you don't have the money to invest in.
I think people just want to progress and they don't know how to progress.
And that's why a lot of times, again, I ain't giving them an ad.
That's why I'll be saluting Troy and Rashad because they open up the conversation to our demographic.
You know what I'm saying?
Like these conversations weren't being had prior to.
Now that shit is real, real, real popular.
You know what I'm saying?
And so I just think that
nowadays, especially if you're young and you're black, you have way more people that you could go talk to than 10 years ago, then five years and shit.
You know what I'm saying?
To have these conversations.
So
yeah, we got to keep it up.
You bullshit.
I'm bullshitting.
By the time I'm done, I own half of Pittsburgh.
The returns is trash.
Hey, I.
Hey, I.
Ain't no call.
They gonna watch.
No, no, no.
Pittsburgh got money.
Hey, by the time I'm finished.
Stop.
Should own Jersey City.
I'm joking.
Not joking.
Don't make me say the word.
No, they can't get past you.
You think?
You're Jersey City homegrown kid, bro.
They'll give you lots.
They'll give you shit.
You got to participate in the community, you fuckface.
And like, be like, donate the shit?
Yes.

Like, all right.
All right, we're bullshit now.
Jersey City ain't crazy now.
My man just bought six unit on some brisky for the cheap.
Is there any news in the rest of the world that we got to talk about?
Yeah.
Pardon us.
So
MTV.
Oh, man.
No,
that's the news.
Rest in peace.
Since we do a rest in peace is waiting.
MTV is gone.
Their music channels are all closed.
Obviously, the entity of MTV still exists, but there's no more music channels whatsoever.
Yeah.
So, no, it's just TV.
But what's on there?
Ridiculousness.
Reality TV.
Reality.
Reality TV.
Yeah, he got a lot of money over there, nigga.
That's it.
Well, that's steaky.
That shit is on it.
It's a shame.
It is a shame.
It's the end of an era.
Shit is a business opportunity.
Word, though.
Yeah, deadass.
Who over there still?
Who all there?
Rob.
What's his name?
Dyke?
No, he's gone, I think.
He can't still be be there if he there yeah i'm going he got equity if he there i'm going
but i mean we all
kurt laughter you talking about who you talking about
rob the little white dude yeah
oh no he's not there is he oh that's what you're talking about no
i don't think he's there damn i mean
what has this changed mtb wasn't here nowhere yeah i mean you too has replaced mtv for A long time.
A very long time.
I think it's just a sign, like an official like RIP for era and for a way of thinking about music and videos and content delivery and all of that shit.
You know what I mean?
Like, do people still get
shit in a marketing budget for videos and stuff?
Well, it's not in the marketing budget.
You got to shoot your own videos, bro.
Really?
No, not necessarily.
The label will probably pay for your video.
I'm sure everyone's case is different, but the video budget.
A lot of folks say.
You get a video budget.
I think that would be part of marketing, but I could be wrong.
Anyway.
They save money, no, they get the nigga from you.
But is it really...
At Def Jam, We fought to keep them separate.
I don't know what's going on today.
Oh, to keep the market and video budget separate.
Because that's where they bang you.
They crack you in your separate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no.
Separate.
You know how much money they take out of your purse for marketing?
Yeah, I heard.
I heard it's insane.
I heard that's what it's crazy.
A nigga gave you $300,000, so they give you $300,000, but for marketing, they'll take more than half.
Jesus.
More than that.
Yeah.
$170,000, $200,000.
You know, they're in this era.
But in this era, is a video automatically really worth it?
Yes, yes, absolutely.
If it's a good video, for sure.
I think I would argue maybe more so than it has ever been.
Really?
Yeah, between YouTube and Instagram and TikTok and all that shit.
Granted, it might not need to look like what it used to look like.
Good point.
No, it's more important now.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
I ain't thinking I'll have some.
You know, I don't really be on that shit.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
You just got to get somebody that's doing a cut for a cut for Snapchat, a cut for TikTok, TikTok.
That's how I knew that Flippin' Mark fight was viral because Facebook folks started calling me
from the company.
No.
Mark.
People that's on Facebook.
No, just people that's on Facebook.
Like, yo, I'm seeing some clips.
I'm like, oh, you seeing our shit on Facebook?
Oh, we moving.
Yeah.
Yo, bro, my phone was on fire that morning.
My phone was on fire.
Next time I'll pay-per-view it.
Mine wasn't on fire.
Next time I'll pay-per-view it.
I know Mark's was on fire.
I had to be.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, I got cursed out by a couple people.
Disappointed in you?
Who was the most prominent person that cursed you out?
I can't say.
Damn it.
Was it an Obama?
No, but it was a prominent.
Cover your mouth.
I wouldn't even tell y'all because they asked me.
But
it was a prominent
person in our community.
You defended us?
They weren't criticizing.
They were shitting on him.
Yeah.
That's the point.
And shitting on him, they could have shit on us, too.
I got some of those too.
Like, this is what happens when you hang with them gorillas type shit.
God damn.
But that wasn't the, that wasn't,
that was more the internet than like people hitting me up.
Did that call ball to you?
Like when they call somebody that you respect and hold?
Wait.
Wait, no, that's what happens when you hang with the gorillas.
Hey, I'll have y'all know we had to hold this educator back.
Wait.
Shout out to Amani for that.
Shout out to Amani for that massage.
Just shoulder up.
Like, yeah, we got, we got the, hey, educators, we had to restrain the professor, us gorilla, street hood, drug dealer, dope boy, fucking crackheads.
He was the aggressor.
Yeah, he was the one that lost his temper
at work.
That was us.
Emotional intelligence.
Yeah, they're going to stop talking about us a certain type of way.
Don't do that.
We can't even say the word sucker up here anymore.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Come on.
Got to say lollipop.
Jesus.
Bullshit.
It's low job.
Blowjob, knock you.
But yeah.
Nah, it was people just saying, you know, just remember who you are.
Yeah.
you know that that's who you are that yeah
they don't know that tell them let's go man
big miss
what was your other name at the court
indrice
are y'all are y'all who y'all think y'all are
i tend to be
i don't think anybody is no but i ask you about anybody yes i don't know because i don't think i'm
i don't think about myself like that.
I'm not who I think I am.
Okay, if somebody asked you, if somebody said, who do you think you are?
You're able to answer.
Oh, in that sense, yeah, I think I'm accurate.
I think I'm pretty accurate.
I might act like Markle Mutt Hill if someone says, who do you...
Who do you think you are?
I'm a sucker.
Are you sucker ass?
All right, y'all.
Y'all been making jokes and kiki and kiki, but I'm serious.
Who are, like, can y'all answer if somebody says, who is Parks, who is Ice, who is ish, who is Mark, and whatever you say, how far do you deviate from that?
Is what I'm asking.
Oh, I think I'm pretty accurate.
I think it's pretty accurate.
Accurate.
Yeah, I think I'm pretty accurate.
Flip.
You understand what I'm saying?
I do understand what you're saying.
Put it like this: nobody, just use this as an example, so you're talking about friends.
Nobody who knows me or has heard me describe myself or has a sense of who I think I am
would be surprised by me and the things that I do here or elsewhere.
That's what I'm saying.
I agree with that.
I'm not who I think I am.
Like my friends that know me,
they know what is in line.
I think the question would be hard for me to really answer because everybody got a bunch of different facets to who they are.
So to put it in a few words is really complicated.
I would have advanced it, though, to ask the person you think you are, is it a good person?
I think I'm, yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Would the people around you say that's a good person as you think you are?
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah, for sure.
I think so.
No, nobody ever calls me a good person.
Yeah, I don't think so.
But I do think I'm a good person.
I think you're a good person.
No, I think I'm not.
I'm too.
I'm in Joe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People don't really ask me about you like that in the sense of, like, is he good or bad?
Yeah, because they have one view of me.
No, no, it's more.
Honestly, what people ask me about you is more like how much of what we see on camera
is really you.
Like,
is it an act or is it like real life?
That's more what it is, not good or bad.
And I'm like, y'all, that niggas are church mouse in public.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Suck ass nigga.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I am.
Drugstore cotton.
Yeah, roughly.
That's the bullshit cotton, too.
That's the shit that you put the water on.
That shit fall apart.
Nah, nigga.
That's too short to boss a guy.
I'm cutting me off too.
I'm counting.
Listen.
That nigga put his fingers on.
Yeah, you got to count because he keeps doing it.
Listen, who I think I am,
who I think I am, I don't think.
If you describe me to somebody that know me,
they wouldn't believe it.
It's crazy the other way around.
They wouldn't believe it.
Because I think that who I am is like an internal battle with me of wanting to put out there
to the public who they think I am and wanting to put out there to the public who I really am.
Because only you know who you really are.
Only you know how you really feel.
Are you against showing people who you are?
I don't think I believe that at all.
I think it's the opposite.
Yeah, I think it's funny.
I mean, my wife had that same argument as y'all, but I don't agree with her.
I don't.
I'm sorry.
You don't really.
Yo, I don't think anybody knows who they really are.
So the short answer for you to Joe's question is no.
Yeah, no, I said no, but I I advanced it because I have these conversations.
Like, I don't think you really know me because my mind advances every day.
Like, you might know, you might,
for real, you might hate me.
It don't.
It does.
It does.
It does.
I've known you for some years now.
Old wash up niggas.
You can't say anything.
You can't say anything.
Not every day.
You can't.
Your mind is not.
You said from me what?
Mediterranean in the Baltic.
Your mind is not advancing.
It's all right.
We love you for how you are.
Look how they tear black man down.
Along with the white man.
Look how they tear him down.
Everybody's laughing in the background.
Look.
He's still purple.
No, come on.
I'm laughing, man.
That's what you said.
I'm just articulating that.
I was trying to ask you, are you a getch showing people who you really are?
This is not a therapy session.
Yes.
My answer is yes.
Because I noticed that
you, like, you hide that, it seems like.
I don't think being who you are is for everybody.
I think that's, you know, it's just for your family and your loved ones.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, and I think that,
as I said, my mind advances every day, even though y'all made a joke.
I mean, that, you know, when I learn more, when I see more things,
I'm determined to get it.
I'm determined to be better.
And
if my communication is not there with my loved ones, don't get no tissue from me, nigga.
It's my tissue.
It's my community.
Don't do that tissue.
If my communication is not there with my loved ones when I have the conversation, like, you really don't know me.
You know what I mean?
So,
and yeah, we did.
Yo, it's a broadcast.
What
do you think is room?
It's a broadcast.
Nah, you said for us to check you when you're doing bullshit.
Get out of my man's face.
Mark, you see what you see?
Right, Mark?
Get out of his face, yo.
Don't tell me it's a broadcast.
I'm on the push to the bottom.
The man needs a massage.
What happened?
Niggas features.
Oh, I don't know.
No, you're just some old stuff.
You know what I mean?
What do people miss about you?
is the thing about you that people don't see that they don't know?
That they get wrong, whatever.
My personality.
Like, what aspect of it?
Who I left?
He's pretty bad.
No, who I am.
Nah, nigga's quiet.
He's kind.
Yeah, who I am.
He's gentle.
I think that's the word.
The second one, kind.
I think he's a lot kinder than people.
He's soft.
He's soft, cuddly.
I wouldn't know.
Hey, yo, dunn.
Yeah.
Warm.
After Friday, hush puppies.
Yeah.
You like hush puppies like ugs.
After Friday, when you left, right?
I had a conversation with him when I tried to keep him hostage.
And
I told him that.
Kept all of us.
Well, no, yeah.
That's why you wouldn't come outside?
Yeah.
No, I was outside.
I saw you outside.
I was not playing.
I saw you outside.
I stood there.
I saw you outside.
He did stay in here a while.
I saw you outside.
He did stay in there.
I was outside for a half hour.
He gone?
Yeah, he's holding down.
He gone?
He was outside.
Mark didn't want to say shit in my hand.
Nigga, look, his bag, one of his straps is tighter than the other.
I'm like, this nigga tight.
I love Mark's little walk away in the video when y'all went to go and talk and Mark Hans is by his side.
He was right there though.
Because he didn't follow me.
No, not like, not like that.
I mean like, let's work.
We went back to work.
Not like you was bitching.
I mean like you didn't want you did the I mean your walk off
he was behind you.
When you walked from there to there.
It was like a little like a little miniature.
It's like he got wound up.
You know what I thought about after?
Like when I was was standing there for a while, like, Mark came, put his arm around me.
I'm like, all right, stop.
He came, he went like this to me.
I'm like, nigga, stop.
I think he was just trying to see, try to size me up right there.
And I'm just standing there like that.
You got all the info we needed.
I like you up.
I like you up, nigga.
I don't want no beef.
I like you up.
Nobody wants no beef, man.
I don't want no beef.
Mark and I saw you.
This is a happy family up here.
That's true.
It is.
That is what I'm saying.
It is, but Wednesday.
I'm answering your question.
What I was telling you, Mark, was that I told Joe that some of the people that come up here and meet me, right, if they come for the podcast, some of them.
Oh, wait, we're still on you.
Yeah, yeah.
Some of their crews, because it's not really on me, nigga, when it's time to meet me.
Let's close it up, though.
Yeah, when it's time to meet me.
We spent a lot of time.
Thank you, yeah.
Yeah, you should.
Some of the people that come up here, I told Joe, you know, when they talk about me behind the scenes, I talk about it like, yo, Flip is really standoffish.
He's not really welcoming.
We're talking about some of the, and I told Joe that.
I said, I have to get a little bit better at that.
So, like, if some people come with the crew, like, well, okay,
what's up?
I'll be in the corner, I'll be over there.
That's not intentional, so I want to get better at that, but you know, yeah, because you're public, for all of us, I think our public personas, people read a certain thing, so then they match the behavior to that, so they won't say, Oh, he's shy, yeah, they'll be like, Oh, he's
yeah, yeah, same thing with Joe, like because you're a big personality.
If you're if you're in public and you don't talk to everybody, you're not gregarious, then people are going to make assumptions that you're on some Hollywood shit.
I'm not going to be in the public,
it don't matter what
people got to say.
I'm going to be home or in a confined setting somewhere yeah yeah that is it got you joe you got something i'm sorry you just you had something on the board that i wanted to know
what i have what did i put on the board
drug dealer versus drug user oh i saw that i saw that floating around online i might have seen it on reddit uh
and it said drug dealer music versus drug user music
and you know That talk has been had a bunch.
This time, it struck me differently because it was never a conversation to be had.
Like, I came in, I got my record deal in 2001.
I put my album out in 2003.
You might have spearheaded drug user.
My album was the drug user, drug, drug user story,
right?
And at the time, that was a little told story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
And it wasn't a story anybody wanted to actually rep for.
Nobody
was coming out with pride saying, hey, the drug users.
Shortly after that,
things changed a bit.
So this was the first time where I
saw that topic and actually had pause.
Like,
hmm, maybe there is a conversation to be had today.
Now, why that talk has never mattered for me on the drug dealer side?
You get Jay-Z, you get Jeezy, you get Pusha.
I put big in there too, and that's a hard.
Sure.
that's a hard that's a hard album and there's a lot more that's basically anybody really damn near up until 2004 yes maybe but really probably not even on a mainstream level until 2009 I'm telling you Wayne's I feel like drawing I feel like dying made the drug user music mainstream that particular song that might be that's where it switched what year is that
is that 08 I gotta check somewhere in that range yeah I'll give you the exact year somewhere in that range
Okay.
So Wayne stole my style.
Basically.
You said it off.
But anyway, on the drug user side, if we get, we got Eminem.
For sure.
We got DMX.
07.
Was, I feel like Dying.
X didn't necessarily.
He did.
See, I don't.
See, I don't put that as drug user.
No.
He didn't rap about it.
He just was one.
Yeah, he just was one.
Right.
There's bad people that were.
All right, so go away.
We got the weekend.
For sure.
Future.
We got future.
Most of these young kids.
Hey, you know what?
we got all the young kids.
All of them.
We got all the young kids.
The first hit
might have been 3-6 mafia sipping on some scissors.
Oh, that's valid.
That's valid.
Even though Wayne, I still say, like, inspired everybody to do it, sipping on some scissors might have been the one.
Facts.
Of course, that was southern culture, but that record went nationwide.
Right.
That's weird, though.
That's a
crucial confidence that I do with the bad.
Insert the bob sagget skit.
I always took my mind playing tricks on me to be a drug song too.
Again, I feel technically it's not.
It's not right, though.
It's also a mental illness.
It is.
I think because Bushwig had such mental illness, a lot of it for me, I mean, clearly it's about that, but it's also about just mental illness and paranoia.
Thinking somebody's coming to kill you.
Right.
Yeah.
I also support very like weed and hallucinogens from the drug user music conversation because I feel like, first of all that genre has been around since the 60s not in rap but in music period for sure drug user music get we get I feel like we get Kanye
wait say more Kanye has talked more about using drugs
well he's I don't think I ever heard him talk about dealing drugs that's true
I'm not saying that he is a drug user rapper I'm saying if we're talking about
drug user music versus drug dealing music, then then we get the songs.
It don't have to be the artists.
I'm not putting Kanye either.
I'm not here.
Yeah, no.
I don't.
Draw.
Yeah.
I don't put Kanye either one of those.
Kanye got way too many songs where he's the one bringing drugs to the party, and now bitches is getting their assholes bleached, and everybody's having a threesome in an orgy.
He got mad songs where he's bringing the drugs, and it's a fun time.
Fair to some degree.
You know what?
When I think of those songs, I think more about the orgies and the bleaching than I do the drug part of it.
Maybe that's me.
Maybe I need to go back and re-listen to it, but drugs don't seem like the center of those songs the way it does with some of the other artists.
What they say to Kanye, they say, I don't know, it is and has been addicted to the laughy gassy shit.
That's true.
The nitrous.
He's rapped about that quite a bunch.
I'm just saying, he got some
songs that can be put there, is all I'm saying.
You don't have to be there.
Who else?
I just think today it's more of a conversation than it's ever been, is all I'm saying.
Fair.
The drug dealer.
That's all it is.
I think a drug dealer sells it.
I think it's bigger than.
They probably do still win.
I think it's because
these niggas are drug users now.
More so.
And I think it's the music has hurt as a result.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And hey, who are the drug dealers selling to?
All of these people are the product of the drug dealers.
Yeah.
Some chronological
sense in there.
All right.
So for now,
the drug dealers.
I'm mad that ish was going for this conversation.
Ish was never done a drug in his life.
He's just been running around licking his lips for fucking 50 years.
What else?
Well, we did RIP MTV and
we have to throw another RIP up there for RIP.
Y'all ain't rep for Diana.
Diane.
Diane Keaton.
Diane Keaton, wrestling for yourself.
Yes.
Y'all didn't rep for her.
From 97.
Go ahead, get in your back.
Go ahead.
Well, y'all did an RIP today.
Who else was supposed to do an RIP for Diane Keaton?
You still don't do white RIPs?
I do.
You don't do white ones?
Diane Keaton is a legend, one of the greatest actors of all time.
My favorite role of her, of course, is Kay.
That scene with her and
Pacino, when he closed the door on her face, and The Godfather to me is one of the most beautiful and powerful scenes in movie history because there's no talking.
And
you don't even need talking because there's such powerful actresses, actors, and actresses.
Of course, Diane Keaton had a much longer career with a string of movies.
You're a Diane Keaton fan, right?
I'm not being funny.
One up, one way up.
It's cool.
Yeah, yeah, and I should.
What were some of the movies
that you rock with?
One of the shits I really fuck with, uh and they just excuse me pardon me talked about this is the movie with uh
sarah jessica parker and they was at the dinner table it's not ringing the bell
sex of the same
sex
the christmas joint
oh come along
Unfortunately, some of her best roles were Woody Allen movies.
I'm just gonna come out and say it.
Yeah.
And And he's a monster and he's a creep.
They went to breakthrough.
They were both creative films together.
That was her breakthrough rule.
Annie Hall is where she got her Oscar, I believe.
That's where everybody knew her.
Was that 78, something like that?
Somewhere in that way.
They did a bunch of films together.
I think they may have dated.
She also dated, I think, Warren Beatty, but it was very adamant, single woman vibes for her whole life, still behind it.
Rest in peace, rest in peace.
I got to fucking grow my circle, man.
Well, I never hear white people do RIPs.
I don't hear that.
They might not be less than a white outlet.
Where one of the great whites die and the whites be all shooking up on here.
Not like we was for D'Angelo.
They do.
Like, why they don't do that for somebody?
They do.
It's a few that's going.
Who would?
They did it for Charlie Kirk.
That's the last time I seen him round shit.
For real.
Tell me that.
That should be enough.
They're going crazy for bro.
Nah, when they stepped out for Charlie Kirk, I was like, oh, shit, they ain't go.
God.
They fucking fireworks up.
She ain't got to do anything.
Yo, this guy is.
I mean, a whole halftime.
Yo, you're a fool, my nigga.
They don't rep like that all the time.
It's all fired six different people.
It's a couple that would get the who do y'all think would get the whites going?
Like if they died?
Like
we know if something were to, God forbid, happened to Stevie Wonder, may he live another hundred years, we would lose our minds.
Who would it be?
Jack.
Jack Nicholson?
Nicholson?
Yeah.
He's a white.
Jackson.
Yeah.
Jack Nicholson.
He's a white grape.
Jack Nicholson.
Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks, definitely.
Leonardo Campbell.
I don't even like putting this.
That's it.
Yeah, I don't want to do that.
Axel Rose.
Bruce Springs.
Axel Rose, you think?
I would think.
Maybe.
Is there some damn?
Especially late.
It's a lot of white heads.
They talked about that one song at one time.
Oh, yeah.
The song you keep reminding me about.
It's crazy.
So it's racist song or is what?
Yeah, yeah, that shit is wild.
Yeah.
And I love Guns and Roses, but yeah.
Sweet Child of Mind will always be.
Sweet Child of Mind is one of the greatest.
Is it my top 20 songs.
November Rain also fired.
But
that one song was great, but Jesus.
He got a racist job.
Especially have a black bandmate.
I don't know, 80s.
Hard ERs?
Hard.

Extra R's.
I think I played it on here.
I read the lyrics as well.
Yeah, I think you did.
I didn't read that lyric.
You really read the lyrics?
Nah, I didn't read that lyric.
Wow.
Yeah.
It was bad.
So I think he made white people rap, yo.
Come on.
Come on.
Diane Key was great.
No, she was.
Diane Keaton was there.
It was the Greece.
All right, by mistake, that had led us to a different talk, but y'all did the right thing with her name.
Yeah.
Now, so my soul is fed.
Rest in peace, Diane Keaton.
That to the side.
I thought you were.
Let me just hit everybody with a quick Hulk Hogan.
See if I hear.
If I hear, if I hear that name.
Okay.
All right, so we can continue to play.
But
earlier,
somebody made a mistake mistake and threw Nicole Kidman's name in the name.
Oh, yeah, that was crazy.
And
I rep from Nicole Kidman.
So, as long as we're not mentioning Nicole Kidman's name,
then she was,
yeah.
Who did that?
No, give him a special.
It is special.
Yeah.
Nicole Kidman is not to be toyed with, not to be played with.
Not that there's another level above her, but.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm fine with that, but what is it?
Middle Street.
Oh, I'm not mad at that.
Julia Roberts.
I'm not.
No.
What?
Julia Roberts is her, too.
What?
Hold on, hold on.
Julia Roberts is not above Nicole Kittman.
I need a phone.
I'm not arguing that.
I'm talking above Meryl Streep.
I'm saying above Meryl Streep.
Oh, I said above Julia Robert.
I'm not fighting over.
Above Nicole Kittman.
I thought you were saying Julia Roberts is on the same tier as Meryl Streep.
That's what I was saying.
No, it's not a bad argument.
It's not a terrible argument, but I got Meryl Streep, and then I got everybody else.
It's not a bad argument.
I wouldn't fight over that.
Julia Roberts is up there.
Nicole Kitman got a lot of mid.
She got a lot of heat, too.
She has a lot of.
I'm looking right now.
It's a lot of mid on here.
She got a lot of movies.
Damn.
But wait, who talked about Nicole Kidman in this?
What's this name, y'all saying?
Julia Roberts.
She got some heat.
Don't disrespect Julia Roberts now.
She's special.
Let me see something.
No, Nicole Kidman, I-M-D-B?
It's long.
It is crazy.
All right, let's try this a different way.
How do you spell Julia?
J-U-L-I-A, nigga.
Don't do that, Joe.
I just want to look.
Stop.
Okay.
I just want to look.
I'm not saying nothing.
I'm uneducated until I ain't.
Okay.
Let me just look.

Oh, you can't play with Julia Roberts.
Yeah, thank you.
There we go.
I can't play with Julia.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I ain't going to have to fight just to fight.
No, no, no.
Nicole Kidman got a boss.
I'm not going to play with these dogs.
Julia Roberts
TV shows, too, by the way.
But Julia Roberts shouldn't be on the Nicole Kidman tier.
She's not.
No, we're saying she's on the tier above Nicole Kidman.
Oh, all right.
I don't have no bee for that.
That's what I said.
I ain't got no bee for that.
Y'all gonna run out of names soon, though.
Of the above Nicole Kidman tier.
Oh, yeah.
I agree.
Might be just them too.
Yeah.
Then give me, give me something.
Ain't no topics.
Ain't no topics.
Give me some.
Let me see something.
Let me see something.
Before I say the name, I want to say that.
I had to look it up.
Julie Roberts, I ain't going to play with her.
Meryl Streep, y'all got that.
Angelina Jolie.
Don't be stupid.
No, she's fired.
Don't be stupid.
Yeah, let's relax.
Don't be dumb.
Let's not even do it.
Yes, I'm not even gonna say her name.
Respect her.
She adopted a kid somewhere.
Africa.
She's everywhere.
She's still in the school.
Respect her.
Who she was married to?
Brad Pitt.
Yo.
We gotta shout out Brad Pitt.
He took the toughest white bitch and fucking walked all over her.
Hey,
they thought Angelina Jolie was about something.
Hey, Brad Pitt came and put belt to ass.
All the things that he made.
Oh, yeah.
He made an airplane.
I think there were some accusations that
even
that could be in that conversation.
Who?
Kay Blanchard.
That's it for me.
I was going to say Demi Moore, but it's a lot more mid, but she got a lot of heat.
Demi Morey speaks.
Demi Moore got heat.
Demi Moore got a lot of heat.
I can't do nothing with Nicole Kirk.
No, no, no.
No.
Demi Moore is heat.
It's too much mid on on the house.
Especially if you take that ghost away.
Nicole Kidman might be my favorite current white lady.
If she's on something on that TV, I'm
playing.
Yeah, for sure.
That's a good thing.
It's a sure bet.
It's a sure bet.
That's how I feel about Meryl Streep.
How you feel about Catherine Hepburn?
Like, some people who are just up there on another level.
You just like the 90-year-olds.
Catherine Hepburn was her.
My stepmom, Catherine Hepburn was her.
She was her.
She got her dad on her body.
Yo.
Catherine Hepburn.
You're about to put that on your shoulder.
now.
She did.
Yeah, she's been going for a while.
Actresses on, they said
Kate Blanche.
Kate Blanche is tough.
It's on
that might be it.
You say Natalie Portman.
I like Natalie Portman, but she's not in this country.
She's in an elite.
Charlie Ron is tough, too, but
she's tough.
She's not shit.
They said Sandra Bullock.
Sandra Bullock.
Sandra Sack.
Don't do that.
That is a fight.
That's a fight.
I forgot that.
I forgot.
I forgot about that.
That's a good one.
Sandra Bullock might be
above above her.
Yeah, bro.
Yes.
She could have Sandra Bullock an acting ability.
They said
Nicole Kimmick.
She's a movie.
They said Kate Wincelett.
I'm done with you.
I'm done with you.
What about Jodie Foster?
I'm done.
Hold up.
Jody Foster is a little bit of a tough.
She's tough, though.
She's kidding and getting that.
Nah, I'm rapping now.
Now I'm rapping.
Now I'm rapping.
I think that Jodi Foster might can act better than Nicole Kimmick, and Nicole Kimmick has been in more shape.
Based on what movie?
Don't say sign to the lambs.
What?
shit?
Don't
go to the no, I wasn't going there.
I wasn't going there.
She, yo, y'all know how, y'all know how I like actors and actresses and white girls.
Based on they, they do.

Somebody to, yeah, it was.
He tried to clean it.
He's an actress.
You know how I like white actors?
I mean, actresses, actors.
Actors first.
Yeah.
White girls.
No, I just I like range so if you could do silence of the limbs but then you could go do some other shit where it's just 180 degrees, I fuck with that.
Jodie Foster gave the same fucking speech in every fucking movie I can remember her being in the I caught you.
Give it up.
No, she did the shit that she was the killer.
They
beat her up and then she went on a manhood killing all the niggas.
That was crazy.
Okay, that's going to get us the motherpoint.
Those words.
Time code.
All right.
Everybody got the time code.

You can't have those words back to back.
Y'all niggas come in here and talk about docs every week.

Rest in peace.
I had a couple different ways I was gonna to go.
It's just taking my one of my ways, but there's more.
This is Cold World, Jizza, remix with DNA.
Let's go!
It was the night before
fucking projects.
Not a handgun was silent, not even attack.
Outsiders were stuck, but enemies you put fair.
Blasted on the spot before the pigs were dead.
You know hoods, robbers, snipers, new in sight.
Fuck you and white, they escaped before them flashed the fucking lights.
Gunshots shatter first floor window panes.
Shells hit the crown of bloodstains and dice gains.
Blood the folk calisthenic, any style you set it.
These niggas toothless, physically cut up like goosebus.
But I ain't on the side, ducks took no excuses.
Therefore, your 52 hand blocks is useless.
Link snatched off necks, scars on coats.
Jack is tough, got the bullet rips, who coats against those who dump the coal from the steel.
Made them fold and squill.
Once the metal hit the temple of his grill, construction worker who is caught for his bomber.
No time to swing the hammer that was hanging from his farmers.
In his bug how some niggas catch slugs and pockets dubbed from everything, except check stubs and the dust.
Sound ill like boys in Brownsville on fatal robberies and red monkey with feds up for fugitives to shoot cops.
Niggas laying on rooftops rooftops with his cream stashed in a shoebox But he was hot and the strip was built The young killers you don't suspect So cops beat like caterpillars and born thieves They butted with extra bullets Those who try to flee they hit the murder rate Increase the murder rate Several of the hitmen pull out text and then drop those crack like cockholes from Mexican rapid like recipients casting Shacks again back to the motherfucking spot on Lexington
light, and I stay as harassed.
Scrambling for petty cash.
Zakes on my ass, young bucks is learning fast.
357s and 44s, brought inside corner stores, provides far off the wars.
Hospital floor surrounded by the law.
Homicide questioning while it takes guard the door.
My hood stay ticked.
Loyalty puts strength in my team.
Cause niggas make the sermons cream.
Some niggas in the tip like LeLard.
Sign up the tiny restaurant for a kid named Lamar.
I thought he was dead, but instead, he missed a getting hit a 12-year-old girl in the head and then fled.
Tactical narcotic task force back off fast, cause the crime boss is passing off cash.
Exhaust his performance, the streets causes beat.
Having followers of Indians crying to play cheap, you witnessed the saga, casualties and drama.
Life is a split.
I'm not the actor, but the author of a modern-day proper.
We're the main character, it's presidential paper, the dominant factor.
Baby, when I'm most fine, I'm get nothing to keep on the clock, get out the line.
Baby, run from the top, bottom up, shout to the people,
you got me right now.
Baby, now most fly buns get nothing, keep on clock, get out the line.
They be
Cold World Remix, Jizza, Inspector Deck, D'Angelo, rest in peace.
I don't think I ever heard that before.
For real?
I don't think so.
I'm going to Devil's Pie off the Belly belly sound.
That's one of my favorite songs ever.
Yeah, that's my shit.
Fuck the slides, won't the pie, fly it swap, chill and fry.
Watch us all, stay alive.
For a slice of devil's fire,
with the wine, three to fall at a time.
Watch them all, stay alive.
For a slicer, devil's fire.
Who am I?
Justify
all you in a eye.
I myself been behind
out of
high gym in the grave.
I have a late spare me.
And if I die, before I'm waiting, I hope the Lord don't hesitate.
Get to hell, when to hell, tell my babes all is well.
All I'm fooling told for sells, disconnected this
pelvis.
Pain and scream in my head,
on my pain, on my bed,
live my heart, let me hate.
In this current state,
fuck the sky, won't buy.
Why is
chill and fry.
Watch us all, stay alive, or slice up double.

However, y'all want to do it.
On camera, what happened on camera?
I want to apologize from you on my
apology as loud as a disrespect.
Ice and masseuse.

If you're my man, just apologize and let's keep moving.
Don't fight with me about it.
I'm not fighting with you at all.
You're my man.

Remember life is a series of moments.
Oh, shit.

The wire is probably fucked up.
All right, all right, all right.

Last but certainly not least,
the baddies are insecure and was out on a Monday night
with a good friend of mine, somebody I've known for
15 years, 15 plus years.
He didn't send a text.
He didn't call.
He didn't DM.
Didn't even send the eyes.
I like mac and cheese.
I just had to go.
I didn't see the eyes.
It was no eyes.
So I just had to go on Reddit, see my man up there with some baddies.
Me and my lady would have loved somewhere to go while we was in bed last night.
My bad.
That's crazy, son.
Oh, the baddies are insecure, the stagnant women want to travel, the clothes-minded women want you to teach them things, grab you a Tylenol, you will need it
