Hey, let's put those phones away.
Hey, put those phones away.
I see your phone.
Let's put those phones away.
Hey,
all right.
Look at that.
No.
I thought we were performing as a bad person.
No side conversation.
No side conversation.
Oh, we saw it.
Yeah, we always thought it.
You need a rhythm section, man.
Good to see you, brothers.
How's everybody doing?
How's everybody feeling?
Poppy, what's popping with y'all?
I'm telling him,
I don't know how that happened.
Who wore it better?
I don't know how that happened.
Yeah.
We spoke about it last night.
The rugby's a little better.
No, we didn't, man.
Don't do that.
Yo, what you doing, yo?
Yeah, I'm going to throw that orange on.
Ice wins because he switched up the watch band on him.
And he got the Reebok pumps on.
Come on, man.
I'm giving the dice.
I'll take it back to the pump.
The rugby's nice, but the pumps do they do something.
Yeah.
They do something.
Look at this.
What you up to, man?
Well, you know where he is.
You know where he is.
Come on now.
Pimp.
We can tell by your outfits what you got booked.
You don't even got to talk to you.
I tell you, 50-year-old ass.
I tell you right there.
He don't even know how to fake it out no more.
Walk out the door looking like what the night about to be.
At 10 a.m., I'm going home.
You're not going home.
He'll get there.
You didn't wear those new balances to go home tonight.
He'll get home.
Man.
Oh, at some point.
Man, 50 years old.
At some point.
You got a new balance sponsor?
Nigga, you just need.
Yeah, you ain't catch on.
You got a lot of new balance from the top to the bottom.
New balance is old, nigga, jiggy.
New balance is old, nigga, jiggy.
It came back, so you still look fragile.
Dog whistle at the new balance.
I see what you're doing.
I see what you're doing now.
I support you.
I'm ignoring you first, though.
Now, the t-shirts, he got to update.
No, no, no, you got to get it.
That's weird.
That's where you show his age.
No, he forgot that when he walked out the house,
he forgot to change it into the new pack.
He had to let Whitey see him leave like that.
Oh, he just going to go to some work.
I think that's a new balance t-shirt.
It's just a bad new t-shirt.
Oh, no, it's cool.
Oh, wait, oh, no.
Oh, no, that's old, nigga.
New balance, head to toe.
Head to toe.
They got the new balance socks and everything.
You got a sponsor, nigga.
Put niggas on.
All right.
Don't hyper-focus on this.
Leave this alone, man.
I would appreciate that.
But how can we leave a nigga alone?
Yes, I see.
When he comes like that.
He definitely has new balance.
At 1,000%.
If you got new balance boxer briefs on, I'll walk the fuck out.
I will walk smooth out this podcast if you got new balance boxer briefs on.
And I won't talk to you no more.
So I'm just going to think that that ain't happening.
That ain't happening.
Why would you just not be happy?
Oh, shit.
He got a new balance deal.
Yeah, for sure.
Do you have new balance drawers on-ish?
No, I'm happy for you.
New balance draws, dog.
But if they paid you, you would wear them.
All day.
Okay.
Which means he has to watch.
What the fuck you talk about?
Even if they made like your nuts uncomfortable?
Yeah.
You damn right.
Ever go in there box, boxer, boxer brief drawer, grab your wrong pair,
you get your period drawers at the end of the wash.
Yeah, you had that wrong pair of like
yo, what?
I don't like how these shits is making my nuts.
Nah, I'm damn near there.
Like, yo, I'm doing work in my house, and I can't really get to like it's sectioned off.
Yo, not gonna answer.
Hello.
Hey, good morning, Joe.
Hey, good morning.
How do you get in?
Hey, new hire.
How do you get in here, though, Joe?
What do you mean, how do we get in?
Go to the left.
It's construction in the front.
So with another entry.
Do you see the McDonald's?
What?
Hi, Joe.
Are you?
Oh, man.
Oh, shit.
Yo, you're a fool, yo.
No.
Wait, you're not by the McDonald's?
Where are you, girl?
Oh, my God.
Holy shit.
Oh, man.
I'm crying.
I see the X-On on the corner.
Man, don't look.
Yo, it's good.
Yo.
And maybe a bad time to play Elitis?
Can't play Elitis, Joe.
Not after the week we've had.
You can't play Elites.
It's a bad time to play Elitis, but I'm sticking with what got us the number one.
So
here it is.
Oh, man.
Yo, I am so mad that they are installing bike lanes out there.
I ain't gonna hold you.
Yo.
That shit is.
That shit is annoying as fuck.
My nigga, them shits is wide as hell.
I thought that was a bustle.
That shit is a tractor lane.
I thought the rough riders was going to do it
on the three-wheelers.
The four-wheelers, yeah.
Yeah, I thought DNY was coming over there.
That ain't no bike lane.
That ain't no bike lane.
No.
That shit is a fucking.
I wanted to write the mayor.
I want to rape somebody.
You ripped up.
And then I was like, damn, that's, come on, Joe, check yourself.
Like, it was a check yourself moment.
Nah.
You know what time it is.
They're building all these buildings.
The biker people, the city bike people, the people that want to commute.
New Yorkers don't be having cars.
Yeah, you know, the New Yorkers are bums.
You know, they ain't got no fucking cars.
So now they want to bike everywhere over here on the road.
I wish they didn't.
There's motherfucking no parking where I'm at.
Yeah.
Well, I wish there was more biking.
Told you, come on over.
No, that's all you got to do.
I already called the governor.
I told him you're my man.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
Got you.
Biker lanes is funny.
Bikers in New Jersey are funny because on Sundays, if you got somewhere to go in the morning or the afternoon, the bikers think that if you collide with them, they could win.
They will.
The lawsuit, you know?
No, no.
They all sue your fucking socks off.
Oh, I put some money to the side, man.
For them, I would put sometimes it would feel so good to hit one of them dudes.
They drive fast down the lane.
They drive real fast.
Y'all, my man in Harlem with that bike that I hit.
That was a hit and run, though.
So you can, what he was going to do.
I got out of there.
Yeah, he's crazy.
You have to catch me if I do it.
Sorry.
I smacked the motherfucker at St.
Thomas.
Come on, y'all never hit nobody on a bike with a gun.
No.
No.
That nigga
I hit swore he was going somewhere.
He had some food, too.
Delivering it.
He smacked a motherfucker at St.
Thomas.
Well, yeah, I can't.
Them biker dudes be aggressive.
Oh, man.
They do aggressive.
They do respond.
They do.
They think they own the road.
And that's the thing.
If they are doing some type of marathon in front of me
and I'm speeding up,
is it wise
to break?
You can break.
I know the Jersey laws, hey, you got to act like a car and you know what I mean?
Share the road.
But is it wise?
Like, if I said, fuck the law,
you know, but I would never.
I would never.
Nah, nah.

She still knows.
And the weekends is tough to get a hair appointment.
Like
the weekends, sometimes, if you don't get it in on like a Wednesday or Thursday,
every black woman
go on a Saturday.
Them bitches don't be wanting to squeeze you in.
I gotta say something.
Don't try to big up and shoot out at the same time.
Nah, nah, nah.
Here's the little nigga.
Listen, I said to myself, every black woman listening or watching, well, before I wore this hair, that's mine up here.
I said, talk about it.
If anybody is going to say something about this motherfucker here, it's going to be Joe Button, right?
And the crazy thing about it is, I was at a sneaker store last week and I got into this big fight with this guy because he called you the F-word.
He kept calling you the F-word, but coming to me with it.
Like trying to come at me like that.
Where are you buying your sneakers at?
It's a sneaker store.
Sham a lot of some shit like that.
It's a sneaker.
It's a reputable sneaker store.
Okay.
You know how people are because of what we do.
So people talk.
Y'all was the ones telling me that.
I kept telling y'all, I'm popping on the internet.
People stop me all day.
It is a different crowd and it is a different, whatever.
So this guy just wanted to like just talk about how Joe's homosexual.
You know what I mean?
No, not frank.
Because you can say friend.
You can't say the other word, right?
It's overly friendly.
So, and it's like, that's cool.
You think Joe Button is homosexual?
That's fine.
You know what I mean?
No, it's not fine.
But it's like, bro, I'm not ready.
No, you know why?
Because I fuck with you.
And I liked you since I met you.
I've always liked you, right?
But you talk a little bit.
You know, you just a little free.
Like, you might even saying bitch.
Or commenting on hair.
That's why they call you a punk.
You know what I mean?
I want to say a punk, but I don't know if I can say punk.
Who the fuck is calling me?
Joe, stop.
Please.
Let me come to the sneaker store.
When I first, when I first...
I want to come to the sneaker store.
Can I be real with y'all?
Y'all want to be my brothers, right?
Of course.
When I first used to hear it, I used to be like, people are so dumb.
Clearly, he's trolling.
You know what I mean?
Like, people used to say it or crack jokes or whatever.
He was like, oh, yeah.
They can start playing with the shit.
I used to know.
It was a little tangy.
Would you say freeze?
I don't.
I don't believe.
I hate dumb.
I don't believe that Joe Button is homosexual at all.
But some people are obsessed with it.
That's the thing about it.
So he just keeps saying it.
Sam like, bro.
And I'm somebody like, like, i worked real long on my temper you know but it's like at a certain point you just trying to disrespect me you just you know you're not calling me a fat bitch but this is the closest you're gonna get to so you just gonna keep saying like i literally moved my chair for this
and it was still like a thing so did you say how'd you squat how'd you how'd you dead it you just
the um sneaker store had like this you want the truth yeah yeah yeah the sneaker store had like a um display
she pistol whipped him
i picked up the um he had a hennessy black bottle and i picked it up wait he had in the sneaker store yeah you know how they be having all the little cute little like, trendy stuff, like the uh, you know, the accessory shit.
You're right, it was like that.
He had a standard, like, his nice stuff, and I opened it and took that bottle.
And I threatened him with the bottle.
Of the owner, no, the nigga that was doing it to me
because he wouldn't get away from me.
He like circled me at one point.
He like bored a juice out the um
just stalking you, he wasn't stalking me, he just was trying me or whatever.
And I was, I should have just left, but like, I think my pride went let me leave.
Yeah, so then it was just like the next best thing is to grab the bottle of honey.
Yeah, and this is the thing.
I'm watching.
You know what type
First of all, Juices and Hennessy.
First of all,
Black and Louis.
First of all, the sneaker store wasn't in Philadelphia.
Second of all, I resent that parts.
Why?
Because, like, I love Hennessy.
Not black, though.
I didn't swing on him with the bottle, but I held it to protect myself just to let him know, like, I will swing on you with this bottle.
Because he just kept circling my body that vibe.
And it's crazy because in my mind, that's okay to say, and it's probably not.
But oh, well.
I mean, you had to agree what you had to do.
And it was effective.
No matter what, none of that would have happened if I wasn't working up here and I wasn't loyal and dedicated.
And you don't be playing with your feet.
I'm out here rocking.
Crisscross applesauce.
And also, if you just type foot locker in maps.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Now you can just push the button and they'll deliver it to you.
Yeah, Models, stadiums,
we don't have to buy sneakers.
We used to risk our lives because the hot sneaker store was where the shootouts happened.
That's true.
We don't have to do that no more at all.
Sorry, y'all trying to give me advice to go to better flight club.
It was in a really nice area and all of y'all.
Police everywhere.
It wasn't in the hood.
That's true.
It wasn't serious.
It was like a premier location.
A nice area.
You got the Hennessy and the sneaker store.

Yeah, it really did.
It doesn't feel like it.
That was fast.
And I'm talking shit, but I want to thank you, too.
Shout out to you, yeah, bro.
You've made the year
special.
You have.
You made the year special.
Thank y'all.
We love you, bro.
Life ain't been the same.
Love you too, bro.
I like that hoodie, too.
Thank you.
And fucking cheers to the next fucking four years in the contract.
Okay, we have fucking employer options.
We locked in.
I really should have read that motherfucker.
Some bullshit.
What do y'all say to yourselves when people offer you long-term contracts?
Don't use this as a time to talk about me.
I'm trying to have fun.
No, I depend on what the wording is.
They got the right amount of money.
It depends on if I see myself in that situation.
What the fuck you talking about?
It scares me.
What are these niggas?
Yeah, me too.
What are these niggas up to?
Yeah, like, why do you want me for this long?
It don't scare me no more.
Because we are.
Nobody don't want to.
We are.
Oh,
y'all say nothing.
I'm like an adrenaline shop.
And then get them niggas the fuck out of here.
He's so surprised he's still working.
He'd be so shy.
Me too.
He'd be.
Oh, yeah.
Yo, perks.
Perks.
I love you, Flutter.
I love you, too, man.
I'm surprised too.
Because the creators have,
today, with all the information, creators like, you know what, short-term count, the shorter, the better.
Right?
But when it becomes a long-term, it's like
you have to adjust.
You have to ask yourself,
how do I feel about the future?
Like, what do I think is going to happen versus what they think is going to happen?
Like, what's the likelihood?
It's like poker a little bit.
Yeah.
A little bit, yeah, for sure.
The older I get, the more I'm good with it, though.
I'll just take the loss.
Yeah.
Like, I'm like, all right, I wouldn't.
You'd rather be locked in the business.
I've been having stability for the four years.
Yeah, because my whole career has been one year, two-year deals, everybody.
And it's good for money, but I'll be like, all right, my daughter in college, I need to get through these four years.
First was my daughter in high school.
I need to get her out of high school.
So I said I wanted to do it.
It's nerve-wrecking.
Yeah.
short-term deals are nerve-wrecking.
I had a one-year deal with BET for 12 years.
I had a one-year deal with an employer option for 12 or 14 years with BET.
Damn.
So we were always re-up, and it always worked out.
But like, every six months.
Negotiating time.
Yeah.
So I was anxious about it.
The stress, yo, the anxiety.
And then you'd be having a hustle to get more shit.
You got to be your best behavior off.
Yeah, dog.
Sometimes the one
figure, sometimes you can make more money outside in the world.
And you can always figure it out later, too.
The comfortability, though.
You think that's a good thing.
That's because y'all men, because fuck that.
If I don't like you or the mood wrong, I don't want to stay for long.
So that's why we have to keep it short.
So I know I still fucking like you.
Yeah, I hear that too.
I don't want to be around it.
I don't want to be around.
Yeah, but y'all got other tricks y'all can pull to get out of contracts.
Don't we all?
No.
No, no, no, we don't.
We don't have the same tricks.
No,
no, no, not at all.
Cut my brain.
Ah!
Sorry.
I'm not playing with.
Dan, I was about to say something now, I forgot.
You were asking a question.
You said, do you think, you were asking, I think about the employer, what their logic was for.
Oh, do you think that the employer felt like they would get the best out of you
on a one-year deal versus, all right, we're going to lock you in for four.
Maybe you get complacent, we don't get the same results.
No, I think, because I'm pretty much, and the industry I'm sort of known, believe it or not, for being easy to work with and for working really hard.
So it's not,
it's more like, do we want to be in this business for four?
Like, like, like, there was a stretch of 10 years where I did like maybe like eight, eight things for BET in like 10 years.
It was, it was like, I felt like it was like reparations.
They were paying me, and I wasn't working because they were always about to do news, they were always about to build news.
So, I think part of it was we don't want to lock in for four or five years
and we don't do, and we don't, we decide we don't want to do news.
And so, it was more like that.
Like, we want to make sure that we're not investing in something
we're not sure about.
And then, for me, it'd be, am I going to like you in a year
or two years or three years?
Which is fair.
How am I going to feel about you?
Like, I'm putting a lot of faith in you.
Right now.
Yeah.
I mean, coming from somebody who don't have stability really, stability at home, but that jumps around.
It's okay.
Just face.
No, watch it my own stability at home, but that jumps around content creation and believing in themselves.
It's hard.
It's just about adjusting, right?
The money may, you know, the year come and it's like, I really want to go do my own thing or continue to do my own thing, but then this shit look good.
Do I go for another year?
It's a lot of, you know.
Yeah.
And you got to adjust yourself in real time.
As I said, you have to adjust yourself and say, how am I, what would this next year look like for me up here or wherever I'm at?
Am I going to still do the same thing that I've been doing or am I going to do something different?
You know, some shit become old, some shit become new.
So you try to reinvent.
in real time or try to adjust.
If you get, it's my last question on this because it was meant to be just something fast, but if you sign like a five-year deal, in your mind, is it expected of you to fall off
toward the end of it?
No.
No, no.
Hell no.
Wait, that's a good question.
Expected by who?
No.
Yeah, expected.
That's a good question.
Internal?
For you or the person signed?
Self-expection?
Either side, either party.
That's an interesting part of the question.
Personally, I said no.
I take everything day by day, man.
So you give me a five-year deal, and you expect me to increase my production year over year for five years.
Maybe not.
what happens if that don't happen in year three or four?
At least not decrease, though.
Even if it don't increase,
I at least have to maintain
a steady pace.
Yes.
The goal, of course, is to always keep.
That's a decrease.
If it stays the same, it's a decrease.
Really?
It's considered a decrease?
Inflation.
No, that's the opposite, sorry.
Oh, because of inflation, that makes sense.
The payer
is the beneficiary of the inflation, not the payee.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
But you shouldn't get worse.
Or stealing.
No, but you're saying if you're saying the same, if nigga.
Yeah, you should get better.
So
you can't just cruise.
Some people just cruise through the years.
You can cruise through the years.
If you cruise through, like, say, if you get the third year,
now you're just cruising.
Why would you want to not?
You wouldn't want to cruise, but things can happen.
You wouldn't want to cruise, no.
But things can happen where it's out of your hands.
The only way I can get through this if I just cruise and play my position.
That's true.
So then what happens to them?
You can explain that to me.
So, like, we could, we could, we could.
If Steph Curry I was 28 seven i want to use real shit yeah yeah steph curry averaged 28 seven and seven if the next year he don't average 30 10 and 10 nobody looks at him like he fell off 28 7 and 7 is still 28 7 and 7.
it ain't cruising
no that's not cruising the bar that you set is the cruise so whatever your averages are that's your average
okay i disagree with that you're saying cruise
you're saying cruise so what if that video
is not putting in effort yeah and what does it think sports is a little bit different than what we're talking about
do you do your best effort?
My example would be up here.
My example is a question.
My example is going ahead, my example would be up here.
I can use up here as an example.
Let's use me.
So if you're doing something, and then let's say Mark come or Mona come.
Like say we're doing something in the third year, the first two years or three years is we turning up, right?
Then if things become stagnant, right?
And then now Mark and Mona come,
things go back to where it needs to be, right?
I have to find a way as a creator.
How can I fit into this?
I'll get what he said.
How can I fit into this?
How can I adjust with this new iteration?
What do I do?
Right.
Right?
And if there's nothing to do,
I mean, this is open for us to do.
If there's nothing to do, then I'm going to just try to cruise my way by until my contract.
But I don't know if that's crucial.
If you still do your maximum effort, it's like when Kevin Durant.
Maximum effort is shit.
I'm sorry, Mark.
It just might look different.
Like when Kevin Durant joins, joins Golden State, Steph's numbers might drop, but Steph is still being Steph.
It just looks different when Kevin Durant.
Because you got to share the ball with another superstar.
Yeah, exactly.
And that's all.
Let's go, Mark.
We were off in a tangent a little bit.
Before we get into whatever we're about to get into,
how was everyone's week in review while we've had all this back and forth with the educated?
Shout out to Angela.
Man, I got so many phone calls because of y'all, motherfuckers, man.
Because of us.
Yeah, because your antics.
Because of us.
The unwashed masses.
Yeah, no, like, it's really interesting to watch it come full circle.
Like, after, because
people were criticizing us and all that.
Then there was the intellectual conversation, and then it was your
speech from
on high.
And that changed the game.
I told you this this weekend, man.
I don't know if you know how strong that was.
Whatever you did, that 15, 20, whatever it was, it changed a whole lot of people's perception of you, of the show, but also of their own point of view.
And that's hard to do.
People would hit me like, yo, watch what Joe said.
And I looked at this shit totally differently.
And I thought that was amazing.
That's dope.
Can I jump in?
I saw that
Angela's podcast.
I've always been a fan of her.
I saw her podcast and I seen how people were
responding to it.
But the way my algorithm's set up, people was automatically, they didn't like what she said.
Like that's just how my algorithm is.
So when he had his rebuttal or whatever, I had already seen people going that way.
Like they just didn't appreciate,
they just didn't appreciate that outlook of it.
My question is for you, how does that feel like when your peers call you and try to check you or pull you up?
Like, because I know me, at some point, it'd be like, yo, I'm grown, thanks.
And certain people wouldn't even be able to do it to me because it's like, nigga, I don't need.
I know a certain people in your life that can do that.
But the niggas that ain't supposed to do it, how do you carry that?
I don't listen to people.
Great question, too, by the way.
Part of why I changed my number earlier in the year was so that I don't have to take those kinds of calls.
And so people who can call, you got the number?
You're looking over here.
No, no, no.
I was thinking about something.
Top said, if you change your number, the only reason people change their numbers is because they can't say no.
So that was something that yeah, that might be
Top said.
I definitely shrunk my circle, but my point is that people who reach out to me are people who I care and who I want to hear from.
So, like, I talked to, I won't disclose the conversation, but I spoke to Angela this weekend, actually, a couple times, and we had a great conversation about this.
And
I think it's safe to, I'm comfortable saying that she agreed with most of what you said that day.
And so I think a lot of times we're talking past each other.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And sometimes we have to take a second and listen and really appreciate each other.
she reached out to me, Angela Rye.
Very nice lady.
I told her
she's cool.
I said, You cooler?
Then how you come off, reached out and apologized.
I said that in the message.
And she was laughing, but she's a very nice lady.
And I appreciate her reaching out.
She apologized, and I want to salute her.
And shout out to my man, Confucius.
Confucius came in.
Yo, you wrote this shit down, though.
Yo, you changed all
my son.
Hey, get up, nigga.
I love you, nigga.
That's how you get to the bag.
You know, like I told, I told y'all earlier, but
because those are Mark's friends, like, I didn't want to come here and bug out.
That was my only thing.
Like, I wanted to fucking, but then I spoke to my brother Ish in the morning.
He turned you up.
He put the battery on your back.
But I do want to let it be known, I don't have any problem with Angela Rye or any of the
people.
I don't know.
I've never spoken to her.
Yeah, it has to happen now.
I've never spoken to her.
But I'm not against opening some dialogue with Angela.
Yeah, that has to happen.
I didn't like how that was.
Don't break the internet.
How do you feel, Joe, that you're able to
things get painted one way, and then you come in and you give a
dialogue?
What do you give?
Monologue, man.
Monologue.
You give a monologue, and then now
the world changes perception on you and the program.
You felt like I was ad libin-ish.
We had some kids together.
Y'all really was tag teaming.
Y'all was getting some running MC shit.
You got that shit off.
You know, it's my, you know.
But I enjoyed the conversation that it sparked.
Yeah.
You know, I credit them for that.
I do enjoy the conversation that it sparked.
For sure.
I had all different sorts of people hitting me.
Not just black people.
I had some white people hitting me that niggas was hitting me about just the talk.
Like, job well done.
Thank you for that conversation.
I enjoyed it.
I was listening to it, driving my kids to socket, whatever they said, right?
So, and that's what you want to do in podcast land.
Like, I never want to be the guy that's chasing the news.
Like, I rather dictate it.
Well, that's why I liked what you said the other day because there was a moment where we certainly dictated the internet because people were responding to me and flip, but then it was just everybody talking about us.
You changed the conversation
on Friday by setting the table for what the world would be talking about, and that's different.
You got to speak on your own terms.
That's the beauty of this podcast to me: that we can do that too.
It's not just people reflecting on us, but we can push back.
That was dope.
Yeah, no, that's that's that's super fly.
It's super fly that this can kind of be the place where
culture meets twice a week to just kick it about shit.
And again, shout out to them over there.
It's no smoke.
It's no smoke.
Last week's game was last week's game for me.
It's not personal to me either.
Parks.
It was my man's birthday.
Stop playing with him.
Yeah.
Big Parks.
How you feeling?
How am I feeling?
Yeah, you look a little tired that night.
Like at some point, everyone was outside having a good time.
Like, where the fuck is John going inside?
And you just stole on the couch.
I was like,
I didn't plan the weekend the greatest.
I see.
I didn't plan the weekend the greatest.
Right before your birthday party, for two weeks, my son has been begging me to take him to Kids' Empire, and I kind of just brush him off, like, get out of my face.
But
because I hate those places, but it's not about me, it's about him.
Sure.
So I promised him Saturday, and he remembered.
So I took him, but
I took him late.
I didn't take him in the daytime.
I went went
at 7 o'clock.
I told you before you came in.
I went at 7 o'clock in Paramus.
Oh, you're bugging up.
You're bugging.
Well, I thought I had an out.
I'm telling Lex.
I'm like, yo, if it's crowded, we can't go.
So I call him at 3.30, lady on the phone.
He's like, put on a speaker.
Lady on the phone.
Man, we're not crowded.
Got all the space in the world.
That was at 3.30.
At 7, 7.30.
That's a big difference.
I didn't know all these parents was doing shit with their kids in the nighttime.
It don't even be Saturday.
It'd be the older motherfucking kid.
on a Saturday, dead ass.
Oh, and then they got some of the fucking big kids in there.
I've talked to you a million times.
You can't do it.
Some of them big kids was on shrooms in there, man.
Now, mind you.
Kids go do shrooms.
They go do shrooms and go in there.
I do shrooms at my place.
They go to the camera.
They go get a cash.
The kids go there.
So I had a lot going on, right?
Because I was already having a passionate disagreement with my significant other about a topic or topics that we felt differently about.
Oh, gosh.
As a guy, I'm like, okay,
everybody go to their respective corners.
Naturally.
But she,
the kids don't know that you're fighting.
The kids don't.
Oh, so you're fighting.
So we go to kids' empire in the thick of the fight.
That's the worst.
Together, because it's for the kids.
Of course.
Lex loves her.
She loved Lex for the kids.
Now I'm sitting there on a bench.
It's mad birthday parties.
I'm just like
sitting there looking stupid in the face.
Which is exactly how you showed up to my party.
And then I get to Parks's
early, right?
So the Parks' party that I'm used to, we outside having a blast.
But because I'm there early, outside it's closed.
It's not open yet.
Nobody's out there.
Got it.
That don't mean I can't go out there.
But nobody's not out there.
The party's inside.
And me and my girl vehemently are disagreed about a topic that we're both passionate about.
And now
we at my man's birthday party.
Yeah.
In the thick of it.
Boy, you want to talk about two people that looked as stupid as they could look?
You know what I'm doing?
And I was tired.
Yo, I couldn't get a sitter.
That's a different beef.
No, no, no.
That's why I told you I couldn't get a sitter.
Oh, that's a lie.
Because we was firing on you at the party.
I don't know why.
We were like, I guess Cecy's supposed to let Ice just go, man.
I supposed to just come over anyway, man.
Yeah, and I agree with that.
No, no, no.
Normally in that situation, if the sitter falls through or whatever comes up in life,
let me make a show.
Whoever's
go with her people.
When it's that.
Oh, so y'all was disagreeing about his comments, too.
Yeah.
And I'm like, I ain't going out no way.
See, Parks is too good to me.
I ain't going to miss it.
So I'll just go and look stupid for a little bit.
And me and her are normally good with like putting face.
But we disagreed so hard about this topic.
And we was in the middle of it still.
We were still when I saw y'all.
Yo, dog.
First of all, I've never seen y'all that far apart from each other in the same room.
You, you were sitting there.
It's like me and Moon right now.
Right, so you were over there.
I was over there.
How I knew it was bad is because I would be like, I'm doing the party shit.
I'm hosting.
So I'm running around outside, shaking hands, kissing babies, all that shit.
And I would come in, and it was just like dead quiet in the room like
uh
but now that I was exhausted from the kids empire shit but that with the disagreement that we were having yeah yeah I wasn't so and then I ate because the food was amazing at Parks's
shout out to Rim food was great
And now I'm extra tired because the food was great.
And I'm not talking to you because we vehemently disagree about a topic that we're both passionate about.
And everybody that's looking looking at us could tell.
You could see it.
We wasn't doing a good job faking it.
I just bounced Irish goodbye.
I hugged Ram
tell your man.
Tell your husband, I'm sorry.
She pulled me inside.
She said they're vehemently disagreeing about a passionate subject.
She said that, and then I was like, oh, okay, that's what it was.
Okay, it makes sense.
It sounds so like therapy, the way you describe the beef.
Because I would have said we were beefing.
Me and my boyfriend was beefing.
Well, we've got it's still, it has
we haven't found resolved in it.
Yes, they've maintained their vehemence.
Yeah, it's still on.
Somebody's still
on a little bit.
Like, she cuddled up with me at 6 a.m.
and I was the little spoon, but I'm still kind of
disagreeing.
Is that you?
Get off of me.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm on stop.
You still a little tight?
It's me.
Well, we both a little tight.
Okay.
I'm tighter.
Okay.
I'm tighter.
And it's my fault.
They ain't told me though.
Is it your fault?
Honesty.
Honesty.
I thought me and you were going to be first today.
I thought we was going to be first today.
We are.
Yeah, no.
And.
Everything.
And, and,
and it's, and it's totally my fault.
Okay.
Totally my fault.
So that's so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know.
I know.
So what?
The button.
So what?
Yeah.
I know.
Sorry.
Yo, you do that, though?
Y'all, y'all, you allow to cuddle when
you.
I don't.
I don't.
Me neither.
I'm a bitch.
Don't touch me.
I ain't gonna hold you.
Don't turn it.
No, I'm turning all sad.
I don't care.
Do you personally?
I couldn't imagine.
Not now.
Yo, dog, I went to sleep on Lex's bed one night.
I've done that before, too.
I'm going to the couch, man.
I'm out of here.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going.
I don't want no parts of it.
I don't even want to be in the same bed with you.
We bitches.
I don't care.
Yeah.
I'm a little tight now about some shit.
I'm like, I definitely don't, I don't want to make no small talk.
I didn't open the DMs yesterday.
That's my passive aggressive.
Because you you know, you DM your lady memes and shit like that.
You won't even open them.
Oh, I'm mute mine.
I'm mute her.
That's the move, right?
Because only when we are vehemently disagreeing about a topic that we're both passionate about,
do Instagram, keep her shit right at the top.
Yes, right.
When y'all in the middle of the disagreement.
She looks better, right?
Not only that, she's more active right now.
Right?
Not even a tweet all day.
No, nigga, mute, mute.
Yeah, yeah, I'm mute.
I'm mute mine.
And I tell her.
I don't tell her.
No, I tell her.
And if I need to see hers, I go to the fenster.
See, I don't have to.
I don't know.
No,
I know I need a fencer.
No, you need a fenster.
I need one.
I can't know you, though.
You know how.
I'm not even doing once.
I'm not even.
I'm not.
Not this one.
You got to have a fencer.
It won't be me.
I'm not doing a fencer.
It just feels weird to me having a fake page.
Like, I would rather go to my fake page.
You can't be in the thick of
passionately disagreeing about a topic that you both are passionate about.
And now you on her page with your face.
No, that's why I don't go to her page.
You know, do y'all know why?
Now you got to see what they're doing, though.
Nah.
I despise fake pages, right?
Me too.
Me too.
But,
like, when you deaf scrolling, being a little newsy,
and it's alive with some crazy shit going on, or, you know what I mean?
You see something, somebody tell a story.
I'm the type of person I just go look.
But people will make a post.
Don't call me white girl in my motherfucking story.
That white bitch, I don't know what she looking at.
Like people, like they see you.
I come on a live.
It's the most ghetto shit I should not be looking at.
Last night I was on this girl live.
She was doing all kinds of shit.
As soon as I get there, people start saying my name.
i can't chill
that
okay i'm with that you feel me
that's why you need to i click on somebody live and hi i don't move
while she's popping and like i don't want you making it i i haven't seen what i seen on instagram last night i haven't seen what i seen on instagram last night in years i thought they clipped you for that they was letting her get off and it was a couple hundred people in there it was all kind of going on there live
her and the nigga
sex basically oh
i was selling it ig live yes I screen recorded it.
We can watch it later, fellas.
Like, I was in that bitch.
I mean, it's, they still do say my name, but I'm just saying it's like the screenshot you put you on the blog.
Look what don't go record.
It's just be a lot.
That's the only reason why I've been thinking about it.
I think I'm gonna get one.
Oh, now if you're
not.
If you're fucking, then I don't care if you say her name.
I don't want to be seen watching people like that fuck.
Like, I don't people know that I'm watching.
Well, were they attractive?
Because that would make a difference.
Do y'all subscribe to the world?
He was crazy.
No.
Parks.
Yeah, I'm not, yeah.
Because what Mona's Mona's talking about.
If it's like
a horse.
I ain't never seen no shit like that in my life.
It was so real.
I added it in the live and asked that girl, what did she do after?
And she told me.
What was the answer?
She said that she
used ice because she swells.
Y'all think I'm playing.
Wait till this break and I show you.
No, I don't want to say that.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm fine.
I'm actually good.
I'm fine on that.
I'm very good on that.
They're so corny.
I take your word.
I wish I could be with y'all.
Anyway, the party was great, man.
Thanks to everybody for showing up.
My came in.
We had a good time talking shit for a while.
How late are you supposed to stay at somebody's party if you don't bring your significant other?
Until the party dies.
Does your departure time change whether you're solo or not?
Yes.
No.
It depends.
For me, it though.
Yeah, it though.
If it's getting, his parties, it'll be different.
Yeah.
I'm not staying.
If I didn't go with my significant other, I'm not staying in his crib to five in the morning.
You got it.
It's a safe space.
Oh, parkshit parties like that.
Yeah, we don't.
They we don't stop
there's no you can't wait till the end we just banned it about six
exactly i don't still so i got there like i don't i got there late because i was in philly all day and then i got there like maybe like 11 11 30.
i i left about 1 30 1 15 1 30.
i texted my wife around 12 15 like yo i'm leaving about 10 minutes then i just got caught up in a conversation yeah but she was asleep anyway so i got home it took me an hour to get home i got home about two
uh and the next morning she was like how was the party i was like oh it was great she was like oh good i wish i could have made it but we haven't we didn't have child care either so I just representative yeah and then she was like yeah because you said you were leaving at 12 15 but you got home at 208 oh shit she took the red camera
and it's not her I think she's probably just worried you know to make sure I was homesick because I said I was about to leave that's why I don't send the leaving now to
Mark is safe in my house trying not to do it
leaving now is a trap you're asking for yeah it's not leaving now right but I really was about to call the uber but then uber is like one minute away and then they were about to say happy birthday it was all these things happening so I just stayed a little longer but you know yeah you can't do that leaving out i was like did i break some unwritten rule about because i don't go out that much anymore so like solo so i was like did i break a rule she woke up out of her sleep seeing that and was counting down till you got in nah not two is not bad she definitely saw i think it's more that it was later i don't think my wife don't care later i stay as much as like i think it's the
i say i'm leaving
i said this time and then i'm leaving that time kind of thing see if i'm asleep anyway i don't really care about that as long as you're not doing some 6 a.m showing showing up at the crib then then that's different but got you maybe that's the cutoff maybe like four or five i'm with some
with her.
Because if you said, if you said this time, then.
Oh, don't tell me the time.
Or don't tell me the time.
That's the lesson.
Ice don't play around.
I've never sent it.
I'm like,
Ice don't fuck around.
Listen, I'm with it.
Lay the rules down in the beginning, nigga.
We ain't got to argue.
If you say two, it's two.
Listen,
it takes seven minutes to get from where you was at.
It's been 11.
Let me feel that engine.
I used to fuck with a guy, right?
And he would say, meet me here.
And he would fill my engine and say, no, this car is too hot.
You've been outside all day.
I promise you.
Some niggas just like that.
Yo, I promise you.
Or the other trip.
Like, I would be acting like, you know, like, I just came outside because he said, pull up.
And he would fill the car to see if the engine was hot.
Of course, it was hot.
I'd be outside all day.
Tell the truth.
What?
You ain't never hit a nigga with, let me smell your shit?
I'm sure I have.
I had to.
Not recently, though.
Does that work?
Good for you.
You're too old for the.
The thing about it is when you smell it, way too old for me.
I got you, got it, got it.
You smell it, but you smell it.
It's too old for me sniffing them.
Like, thank God I can still suck them.
If you're smelling for soap, Mark.
That was going to be my question.
A girl told me you're smelling for soap.
Yeah, you smelling for freshness.
Condom.
Got you.
Yeah, rubber, yeah.
Those magnums got a strong ass smell.
The girl was like, yo, you be smelling for the condoms.
Yeah, why did you wash up?
Like, why do you smell like you took a shower?
You guys.
You guys.
We've covered sniffing dicks enough, I think, at this point.
Yeah, I know we're having a blast joshing around.
But
thanks for coming out, everybody, man.
It was a good time.
It was a good party.
Sorry that you're sorry.
I'll be there next year.
Yeah.
We'll be there next year.
Yeah, we'll be there next year.
Might upgrade to a venue next year.
We'll see.
Right on that threshold.
We almost did it this year.
That's why we ended up with the bartenders because we were going to move to a house.
I love them, by the way.
Yeah, they were great.
They were great drinks.
They were cool.
Yeah.
Two black women, too.
Yeah, you might need a venue.
You got a lot of people that love you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I like the house party.
I know you like the house.
I said that when I got there.
I'm like, Parks does the house party, hippie back, pack, bye, boy.
Or do you kind of popular?
Do the venue and take it back to the crib.
That's what we're going to do.
At first, it was too little too late.
So we got the bartenders, which was lit.
Shout out to them.
What can we passionately disagree about?
I had a thought about this.
Y'all been watching Ashanti's
beach pictures?
I have not, but I've seen them.
That's why I have.
We got a good doctor here.
No, I'm about to.
She looks great on that beach.
Every piece of cellulite, she looks amazing, in my opinion.
I love cellulite.
She's a bad guy.
I do too.
That was one of those moments where i i felt like first yes ashanti was there with her post baby body and i was i immediately went to the comments for research you're a messy bitch yes absolutely no i thought she looked great by the way
but i know we live in a world where people are always trying to body shame people and it all i saw was people saying you look great and a bunch of people saying why are y'all body shaving her I didn't actually see anybody body shaving her.
I swear.
Somebody deleted.
Nah, I mean, you know, it felt like the internet was looking for a fight.
Mark,
I also thought that they were talking about the fact that they even posted the picture because she wouldn't have approved that.
So, the body shaming is the fact that the way that he did it.
They did it for that reason.
That's what they're trying to set us up to attack.
That's what I took from that.
And that's some new age shit where the ladies, where you ladies have babies and two weeks removed, are trying to bounce back and look like Jane Fonda.
Like,
that's how she's supposed to look.
Right.
Yeah.
However she looks, it's how she's supposed to look.
Right.
One, and two, that's fucking Nellie's wife.
I can't be on Instagram looking at fucking Nellie's wife.
Shout out to Nellie.
Yeah.
Okay.
A year ago, this one was.
You won't be on Real Husbands Hollywood.
No, I get it.
I thought she looked great, too.
I was more laughing at how the internet be looking for a fight sometime, and it don't pop.
You don't understand.
And it ain't even there.
We all like her.
We all think she looks great.
Yeah, I didn't see much negativity.
Yeah, I just saw people asking about it.
Yeah, I saw people outraged that the same thing actually happened.
That was all.
I just thought that was crazy.
Shout out to Ashanti.
Yes.
On the Patreon last episode, we talked about George Santos getting
pardoned or commuted, and we said Diddy could be next.
TMZ reported that Trump was looking
into potentially commuting Diddy Center.
So it was like a more official thing that came from sources inside the White House.
White House came out the day and said, it's not true.
I don't trust the White House.
But the idea here is that Diddy might be coming home sooner than we expect.
Depends on if he's going to play ball with him, I would imagine.
What do you mean?
I wouldn't put it past him.
I think what I mean is if he will come out and be pro-Trump in whatever way that they see fit.
Because he was vocal, like anti-Trump.
When Trump was going around asking for the birth certificate from Obama and stuff like that, I think that if it wasn't for that, Trump would have already tried to help him.
You know what I mean?
Trump said New Yorker shit.
He petty like that.
He said, he's pretty nasty to me.
And they're like, does that mean you might not have pardoned him?
He was like, yeah.
He wants them to come home and apologize and wear Trump shirts and shit like that.
And you better not son
better not did you say you better not let me ask y'all if you puff hell no would you play ball
yes no
hell no sorry man but 60 minutes
because what i would have to do it would be different if like when he per and kodak right kodak came home did a live that was it it wasn't a lot of he's going to want to embarrass him because he he doesn't like what he said so it's not going to be just um you just come home and you make a post he's going to expect him to wear a shirt and fucking do take that take that at the next rally or whatever the fuck he got going on.
So it's like, that's not worth it in my opinion.
I don't care.
Not for 60 months.
It ain't life.
Bitch.
Y'all niggas crazy.
I will get up that bitch
and act like this is faith singing in the rain.
Nigga, I'll change my last name to Trump.
You're lying and you're lying.
You would not.
I'm not lying.
I'm telling you this.
I stand on a bunch of shit.
Your friends are right about you.
I stand on a bunch of shit.
My nigga, what you think the CEO is going to talk to him about?
Well, I'm sure, but this, did you hear what I said?
I'm telling you that I think, as a man, he's going to want to embarrass him because he's angry about what he did to him.
So, he's going to be treating him like a fucking slave.
So, what would you not do?
If we're going that far, what would you not do?
What could he not do to you?
Like, can he take you on a date?
Can he whisper in your ear?
Come on, look at that.
No, fuck that.
How far are we going to go?
How far are we going to go?
Not that far.
Not that far.
Not that far.
Wait, we're not going that far.
First base, second base.
First, just first.
Not no fucking.
I'm going to date with you.
How long was my original sentence?
What are we talking about?
That's why I ain't getting
in a bar fight or a sneaker story fight.
You better not, girl.
No, no.
You better not.
Joe is who he is.
No, I ain't.
Yo, Flip.
Without any context, this is perfect.
You're actually the perfect person to ask this.
You're doing 60 months.
You did it.
You're doing 50 more months in prison, or you could come out trouble commute your sentence but you you got to kind of be on tour with trump you got to wear trump shit you got to put the red and white shirt on and the red and white hat yeah

Flip.
More to be in prison.
It'll hurt my.
That's a good.
Watch it.
She listens and she can respond better than me.
No, it will hurt her, me being in prison, but I made my decision.
Mark, I think standing.
Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
I think standing with Trump will just hurt my family.
Like, the shit that he's doing out here just, well, fuck my family.
Mark, flat.
You out.
Like, quick, fast, in a hurry.
You want to.
You want ball with Trump?
Yes.
Nigga, I will wear it.
You got to speak against.
Hey, listen, I know I said all that black power shit.
Fuck that.
Exactly.

It's cracky.
Right.
It's cat.
I'm with y'all.
I'm with y'all.
I'll do the 50.
I love podcast mics.
I'll do the 50.
That's all it is.
That's all it is.
Those niggas be the first ones out there.
Didn't he just.
Joe ain't gonna let no man embarrass him.
I'm just gonna try to embarrass y'all.
Yo, my nigga.
I couldn't explain that to my family.
I couldn't explain it to my dad.
You wouldn't have to.
I can.
I can try and take it.
You go down there, you're not gonna get all the pies you get down here.
That big community you be posting with all that food.
You go down there, everybody acting all tight.
I couldn't do it.
My dad did his time.
I would do mine.
And I've been embarrassed before.
Now I'm only talking about the 50 months.
If you pass that.
So if it's like 10 years, you'd be.
Oh, then that's a different conversation.
But if it's short time, I'm going.
I lost a lot of time.
Dude, 50 come home with a six day.
He's got four years if you get four years.
He's not.
He's doing 80s.
He's up to the half playhouse.
Okay, and
I'm saying I would make that choice.
In real life, I wouldn't put myself in
a position where I'd have to make that choice.
But in hype, in
hyperthalan, yeah, I'm near.
I'm near.
Okay.
Parks, what was your answer?
I don't remember.
I'm going to stay in jail, I think.
You're a real nigga, Parks.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know if I could sacrifice my morals for you.
Come on, bro.
It's like, and then everybody, like, whoa, whoa, like, he is the worst.
And then it's the thing about him.
It's like.
Mona tried to talk, turn us all into like pod panthers or something.
No, I don't.
No, I don't.
Turn us into a motherfucking panel.
I can't get the fuck up.
Please, please.
I came up in the 90s and 2000s.
Donald Trump was always on television.
He was a star.
I didn't even think for a minute that this shit would be a real thing.
So the fact that this nigga's the president twice is like ridiculous.
Like the shit that niggas letting him get into.
No, forever, you mean.
Yeah,
you mean twice.
Oh, yeah, right.
Cause slavery about to start and he's never going to get out the office.
I forgot.

Y'all make good money with that shit.
I don't know anything about what you're talking about, fam.
Earlier, we were talking about...
Who was married?
Did we were talking about earlier?
Might have been our very first topic before I puff, but my memory is bad.
It don't matter.
J-Lo's ex has responded.
Yes.
There we go.
J-Lo's ex has responded to Jennifer Lopez.
He saw the same interview that I saw.
And this is her first husband, O'Johnny Noah.
And he says, and I quote,
This is in reference about the recent interview on the Howard Stern Show, where my ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, aka J-Lo, said that she'd never been loved or capable.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Let me just say, stop putting us down.
Stop putting me down with your victim card.
The problem,
it's not us.
Not me.
The problem, it's you.
You are the one who couldn't keep it in your pants.
You have been loved quite a few times.
You've been married four times and have had countless relationships in between.
You have had good relationships.
Me, for example, I was in love with you.
I even moved out of the state, leaving my job, my family, and friends behind to support you, to love you, and to protect you and care for you.
I am an amazing, loving person, great human being.
Honest, faithful to you, never lied, never misbehaved.
Oh, that's one word too, homeboy.
Never cheated on you.
I was good to you, good for you.
I'm too good of a man for you.
You chose fame and fortune, moving apart from our relationship.
You decided to lie, to cheat on me.
And even though I stayed, I even tried to keep the marriage going and alive.
I bet you did, you bumass nigga.
You even begged me to stay because at the time you didn't want bad press caring more about you, about your career, instead of saving the marriage.
And I stayed.
But you.
You still want.
You
when you're the fast line of your career slash stardom, not caring about me.
me, you wanted to continue on cheating and lying.
I couldn't stay anymore and deal with the constantly lying.
That's why I left you.
That's why I divorced you.
Why don't you tell the truth for once?
Why are you so good at it?
Let people know that you are the prospect.
You should be embarrassed.
Mark, I'm going to fuck you up.
Don't call me one dude and speak to us no more time.
Don't call me that one more time.
Tricky words.
You should be embarrassed, ashamed of yourself.
End quote.
Just gonna left me over here playing drums at the purple nipple.
I want to be mad that he's like bitching like that, but it's some real shit.
The type of rap that men get, if you really was holding her down and, you know, being faithful, it would probably irritate you to hear shit like that when you know it's cap.
It makes me think it's too well written for him not to be dead serious and telling the truth.
You think that's well written?
Not well written.
What I'm saying, as far as well written from, not in a grammatical way.
Articulated.
Like it's articulated.
Right.
He was really able to articulate articulate his feelings my niggas we've been broke up 25 years aki get over it you sound like you still
come on and on top of that you got to figure out which person in the relationship deserves to cheat right like
if it's not you
right like he should have just been in the bathroom doing his own math like i'm me j-lo is her which one of us is likely to
that that would have told him damn
that's so i'm gonna shoot j-lo To tell you every fucking day she from the block.
What do you think they're doing on the block?
When a nigga come through that got that.
You think they're on the block when you're in the middle?
He got that knot in his pocket?
What you just going to say, Marlon?
Chromey Wills.
I'm going to shoot J-Lo a little bit of Bill.
We all are.
On-brand.
Me too.
Just a little bit.
Just a tiny bit.
When she said that the men couldn't love me well, first, I don't think she was thinking about him.
I think she wasn't even.
I forgot.
I forgot.
What's your name?
Right.
She was definitely definitely bad about Ben Aflops.
Ben F.
Flanner and Puff and Mark Anthony.
Mark Anthony.
Exactly.
The one you forgot about is the one that's going to hop on Wi-Fi.
Right.
Exactly.
She laughed.
I said there was an interview that didn't get recorded.
And she said, they weren't capable of loving me.
She also said I wasn't capable of loving myself.
And so I think part of what she was trying to say, which didn't get clipped, was
they couldn't love me well because I couldn't love it.
Because I couldn't love myself all, so I couldn't create this.
So it wasn't like she was totally blaming him.
Still, that said.
I tried that when I I cheated before that.
Yo, I'm not able to love myself properly.
Oh, yeah, that's not a flaw.
You can't get that off.
But the other part of it is correct that everybody is saying, which is if you're in this many relationships and everybody's loving you poorly, maybe the conversation you have even in public is about taking accountability for your role in the relationship and how it went, where it went left.
You know what I mean?
Instead of talking about...
Didn't she do that?
If she's saying, yo, they couldn't really properly love me because I couldn't properly love myself.
I don't know what that looks like.
I just want that to be the headline.
Like she said, that was literally the last sentence after a whole string about how all the dudes didn't love her well.
I'm just saying, like, you could put a little more sauce on the accountability part.
You know what I mean?
That's just from my perspective.
But yeah, homeboy is hurt.
And he's not letting that shit go at all.
And I ain't mad at him.
I would be mad at shit, too.
Nah, stop it.
Hold on.
Stop it.
Yeah, I would be.
Why?
Tell me why.
She's worth $300?
$400?
Like, like, Mona said, if I held you down like that,
then you better say,
everybody.
Except my first husband didn't love me well.
That was not.
Yo, fuck that.
First off, it's always multiple sides to a story.
One.
But only thing I take issue with with him saying is I was good for you.
I was this.
You can't tell her.
You can't tell her that.
You want me?
And she cheated on him.
Yeah, but you can't tell her that I was good for you.
You might not have been what she needed.
That's fair.
You could have been good in your eyes.
Yeah.
But what?
That wasn't what she needed.
Mom, it's like a time when the girl fucked with all the drug dealers and she tried to go straight.
She tried to go fuck with, hold on, ish.
She tried to go fuck with a nigga that has a nine to five.
When she ever nine to five, nigga, a lot of times it don't work out.
She want to go back to the old life.
She tried to go, you know, she was fucking with Puff and fucking with all the niggas that was moving around.
I was that guy.
1997 is when she got fish grease hot.
That's what her and Puff was doing to Cha-Cha.
Uh-huh.
Let me see this nigga.
Let me tell you, look, sorry, oh, Johnny.
That's what she said.
She left him for the game.
What?
Yeah, she left him for the game.
She went with real famous people.
And like, she wanted to get on.
And it was wrong.
She left him in the Bronx, and it was wrong.
It was.
He met that bitch.
She had on fucking biker shorts.
Dancing on a limb color.
Now you forgot about me because of this bad boy shit.
Fuck you.
There's a statue of limitations on it.
You damn right.
I want to make down with the Wi-Fi.
Well, but how long you get to talk about term relationships?
120 years ago.
I agree with that.
Even if your ex from 20 years ago pop up and say, yo, no man has ever loved me properly, I don't expect you to come.
Yes, I did.
See, I feel like that's the exception.
But people, if they come out first, let me ask you a question.
Y'all, because y'all are all fathers, right?
What if somebody said that about like you being a bad, like if 30 years your ex is like, Yeah, my kids never had never had good fathers, never had good role models, would you be like, the statute is over, right?
You know what I'm saying?
It's some shit that gets your guns.
That's not quite the same.
No, I know,
not for us, but for Ojani, that might be traumatic for him, like that.
Because you ain't got shit else going on, he already got it.
Yes, basically, I'm saying, like, that might be the worst shit that ever happened.
I'm worth 300 mil.
You down there.
The truth don't need defending.
Like,
if I'm a great father, then
I don't really care what you're saying if I dated you 20 years ago.
Like, my kids are okay.
That's first and foremost.
Like, I'm not here trying to clear up.
If I was here trying to clear up every rumor or bad press that I ever got, I mean, my hands would be full.
I wouldn't do it, but
I'm throwing a bell because he sounds hurt.
He's definitely hurt.
He is hurt.
It's not ego.
Like, you know, some people do it out of ego or they just want to clap back.
I think
he lost all hope.
You don't go from J-Lo to
the chick making the chopped cheese.
Yeah, it's tough.
He ain't never got
a reached the World Series again.
We never heard his name before.
When I was the running back back in Poke High Four Touchdown, 22.
Yeah, I had that World School, high school record.
Get your old.
Anyway, shout out to Homeboy.
Shout out to Jennifer Lopez.
Best of luck.
Let that shit go, homeboy.
Who's the dickhead?
I mean, I use that word.
Who is the person that marries her next?
Oh, there's a dickhead.
I'm just saying, like, to me, if somebody was married four times
and it fell every time, like it's something to do.
He said you'd be number five.
Dog.
If you don't think Shinapelope could find a husband, you're crazy.
I think she can.
I just think he's going to be a dickhead.
To me, I would not, somebody who dropped that many L's, I'd be worried about.
Nah.
It's Jayla.
Okay.
You got four husbands.
Seasoned.
It may be something crazy going on.
You seasoned, girl.
However, you seasoned.
There's other things going on.
Invested that fire.
That's fine.
I'm going to try to come up with that.
But you're going to be willing to
escape the real nigga.
You're going to figure this out.
Fuck you.
Because niggas always think that they could change her crazy anyway.
You can't change it.
You can't.
Or manage it.
Or like, or deal with it.
Or
I'm going to deal with it till I can't no more.
Some niggas go into it knowing she's crazy and it's going to be my all.
I heard a quote on the internet.
I'm having some fun right now.
I heard a quote on the internet I want to ask y'all about.
I forgot where I heard it from.
I would credit you.
My apologies in advance.
I heard a guy tell a girl on the internet somewhere, shout out to you, wherever you are, that a man's past is as important to a woman as a woman's future is to a man.
What do y'all think about that quote?
A man's past is as important to a woman as a woman's future is to a man.
I think he's wrong.
I think it's the opposite.
How do y'all feel about that?
That quote.
He's wrong.
I think he's dead wrong.
I think it's the opposite.
I feel like it's intentionally vague.
I feel like dudes care about women's past and women care about.
Oh, yeah, I think a woman's past.
Yeah, no, he's saying goodbye.
Somebody tell me something.
I'm going to tell you.
The man's past, a lot of times, women aren't really as concerned with the man's past.
However, I think that women are
potential.
No, I think that they are
considering a man's future.
Like, that's damn near one of the main things that they fuck with a nigga for is where he's going.
Yeah, your potential.
Where you're going to be.
Yeah, like, so I think that you don't go fuck with no nigga based on.
Damn, I think that was the quote.
I might have just totally.
That's just going to make sense.
That's how I was trying to say that I thought it was past.
We don't care about the future.
We don't care about the yes.
We don't care what's right.
We don't care about the future.
All right, so if you reverse it, y'all.
If you reverse it, yeah, absolutely.
I don't care about the future.
Mental push.
all right that's on me that's on me
sorry homeboy please tighten up
we worry a lot about women's past more than we should yeah you know what i mean we need to let some of that shit go like that you wasn't there for it be like let it go it's ego though oh yeah i'm with it i get it i do it in the same room a nigga done fucking had your girl up and down through it
he just smiling like
Yeah, oh, hey, Sherry, how you doing?
Plural.
Nigga said, yo, you walk in the club with your girl.
She knows all about bouncing.
Giving the hug, the long hug.
Long hug, though.
That's my brother.
I don't fall for that, brother.
How many times have y'all dated someone more popular than y'all?
Dan, that's a good question.
A bunch of dating.
Like four or five times.
Probably once, honestly.
Dan, that says a lot about me now that I think about it.
Dated?
Or like seriously dated?
Dan, that's not.
Because it's a difference.
Someone you go outside with.
I don't care if you had a title or not, but somebody that they would see you with at the corner store.
once, for sure, for me, once.
A couple?
Y'all named it?
Maybe two times.
Four or five times.
Like, seriously.
Two or three.
Corner store level.
Got it.
Okay.
I wonder if that's something.
Yeah.
Like, is that something that men would go, like, would y'all date popular people more than we would?
Like, I'm curious in my head about that.
I feel like men would date a popular girl.
Or girls would shy away from popular guys.
That's what you think?
I just, I'm asking, kinda.
Oh, I think it's the opposite.
Yeah, I definitely think.
I think dudes are shy away from the popular chick.
I think girls gravitate to the popular dude.
Oh, yeah.
Ugh, I didn't like it.
Niggas run from the popular chick because you think she's been popped by everybody.
No, or you just.
That is not why.
That's not why.
That's not why.
That's why
we're going to do that up, y'all.
You niggas run from her.
They're
scared of her.
They'll be intimidated by her.
Y'all are afraid of her.
Not because you worried about me.
Niggas, you know.
I'm talking about the niggas.
If she's popped, like you said, she walked in the spot.
Everybody knows her.
You've seen her with him before.
You've seen her with him before.
Niggas are scared to be around with that chick because now you don't want to look like, damn, everybody popped my chick.
That happened.
that could be a part of it but i think that these dudes be intimidated especially if she popular and uh well-to-do you mean pop like famous popular popular like around the way what's different i just meant more popular than y'all yeah
because a lot of times what he talking about is like the the chick everybody in the club know which is different i probably wouldn't do that that as much
and this the thing what is she popular for like me i'm popular because i have a skill i'm a comic that's totally different than somebody that's popular because they have a fat ass or that's popular because they can dress or popular because you know what i mean yeah i'm not even gonna say necessarily exotic dancing.
You good at exotic dancing, you do well at it, that's your business.
Okay, you popular, you have a skill, but if you just popular, I could see a nigga being scared to be, you know what I mean?
Cause what the fuck you got going on, you know, but the side that they speaking to, like, especially today, like with all the social media shit, I know niggas that'll see if she got a bunch of different countries she's been to in the fucking the little bubble shit on the page.
I ain't gonna fuck with her.
You know, he can't compete with that.
He's intimidating.
Yeah.
Or if she's used to certain bags and a certain lifestyle that you know you can't fuck with,
it's intimidation.
Just off the popularity, the circle she runs in, you don't want no parts of that.
The money was the thing that always got me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is everyone here familiar?
Did y'all see Gucci Main on the Breakfast Club with his wife?
I did.
I did.
It was so good.
It was.
Great interview.
It was.
I'm going to play a clip.
Let's see.
Just trying to protect the business that you guys have built.
Wow.
I have a sister.
I take his apps off his phone.
First thing I do, I delete Instagram.
I delete everything.
Even if I got to change his password, I'm changing it because I don't need the public to know he's having an episode.
You realize you've never known about any of the episodes since September 13th because I control that.
Because you're not going on Instagram, you're not going on Twitter, it's deleted.
You know, and I just control everything at home.
And now, before the episodes come, I catch it.
So that's why he hasn't had another one.
And she's talking about schizophrenia.
He wants to be left alone.
He don't eat.
He does not sleep.
Text messages, there's a period after each word.
And I'm like, you're going through an episode.
You're sick.
No, I'm not in that room.
You don't use periods.
Why do you think that?
You're not speaking to me.
Well, there's nothing to talk about.
I said, well, that's not how you speak to your wife.
And I'm like, you're sick.
And we snap out of it right then.
Wow.
Wow.
You know, we heard Kim this week say how Kanye just used to give away their cards and stuff and he would go through episodes and then the book you talked about.
That was wild, too.
We never talked about it.
I'm giving away stuff.
I gave away Jira.
Money.
You know how much it costs for Jerry?
I would give my friends Jira.
And
they know I went well, they'll take it.
I felt like, damn, they know what's going on with me, but they'll take it.
So like, when I got out of jail, like, I cut off all my friends.
Damn.
Yeah, I love that for so many reasons.
Number one, where both of them are from.
She's from Jamaica.
He's from Georgia.
Both of those places need to hear people say, I have schizophrenia.
I take medication.
We take them to the hospital.
This is what we do.
we have a plan of action black people are more likely to die and all that black people call the police and say my brother tripping out and the police come and kill the brother
police went i mean philadelphia rioted for that years ago so it's like we got to like educate each other in those ways because mental health is not something that i mean literally sometimes your flu is just low same way the car and eat oil or you didn't abuse some drugs that shit fucked you up you left dual diagnosis sometimes you have a schizophrenia schizophrenic bop to you you know what i mean also she loves that nigga she washes his ass she cooks for him to notice that he's using different punctuation in the motherfucking text and it click get the security kidnap him text hospital that's a good bitch I love the whole thing about the interview and I also feel like when you open enough like how Gucci was where it was like yeah I was on drugs and I was fat and now I'm slim and I'm married and I'm happy right I think that it's good to be vulnerable in that way too, because you present this perfect shit and it's just not real.
It's not, you know?
So to have such a huge problem and be open enough, because he doesn't have to, and be transparent enough when you can help communities like that, I just, I just loved it like every part of it.
Um the main thing that I got from it was
when a man that's rich because he was rich
exhibits that level of vulnerability with his wife, I think that shit is fire.
You know what I'm saying?
To where, yo,
I'm in your care now.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm in your care.
If I'm going through an episode or if I'm falling off the ledge or whatever the case may be, I'm going to submit to you to do everything that you think is good for us and myself at the same time, I think that's dope and I think that's rare.
Agreed.
Because a lot of times, it's the flip side to that.
It was a reminder to me, especially during the week where some of us are having vehement disagreements.
It's a reminder of the value of partnership.
And it means it has somebody who got your back no matter what.
She's actually catching heat for this.
Really?
Why?
They're saying that this is controlling.
This is
her
control me.
I'm stopping.
I'm stopping it.
Some matters we don't need the comment section's opinion on.
Stop it.
Your significant other is going to be the one to save your life when you just fall out.
Literally.
Yeah.
Exactly.
That's not a controlling thing.
This is the person who I'm sure has power of attorney, who is in charge in a life or death situation for him.
Family, this is the person he trusted before going to jail.
He left the money to her.
Facts.
He left her, I believe it was $2 million.
She multiplied it.
She multiplied it when he came home, got him right.
Like, it's clear that this person, I know we hear them instances where, you know, somebody's doing you foul while they have the control of your business assets and everything.
She's clearly moving in step with him.
And she's supposed to be controlling.
I mean, if I'm out of control, someone has to take control.
That's what marriage is.
I was about to say they would knock her and knock her head off and be dissing the shit out of her on social media if she was watching him spiral and didn't
intercede.
Yes.
You sitting here watching him go through this shit.
You're going to just let him post all this dumb shit on the internet.
No, I'm going to watch my man that I love start going downhill.
I ain't gonna let the truck roll all the way downhill.
I'm gonna reach over and stop the shit.
Like, I think that's fire.
Agreed.
That's what a real partner is, and a lot of people just don't know it.
Yeah, like, I would have loved to have heard how Kim Kardashian dealt with that.
I know they're separated, so her going on call her daddy and speak about it with her testimony is just a little different, but I would have loved to hear that angle from Kim.
Like, how did you deal with it when your husband was coming home?
I mean when you were coming home and you noticed that he was giving away cars of yours right yeah all you hear her talk about is the protection of her children that's what you hear about and I respect that as a main thing because they have small kids true and that's why
true but that's what it is his motherfucking mom is dead and you his fucking wife so you know with all that help y'all got you would think that you could protect them fucking kids and help your husband i'm not saying she didn't i'm just saying that's why
i let him tell it her their idea of helping him was having a doctor get them hooked up on pills.
Yeah, I was gonna say she did intervene.
And then the very next nigga she got with also had mental health problems when he left.
When he came, he came.
When he came, Joe.
When he came here and left.
When he came here, left, Joe.
I think he entered with them problems too.
Can I add one thing to the conversation, one level to the conversation?
It's another thing I thought about.
People be in situations like that, like say regular people, not rich people, right?
And the nigga family will be, that bitch always, like, like you said with the comments, people will be, oh, it's too much is changing.
Because now you go over there, get the necklace, now this bitch call, bring that necklace back over here.
And she can because she is power return, right?
Sometimes you see families fall apart.
It's a rapper on the internet doing that right now.
The family beefing, but it's just like that entitlement thing when a woman come in.
People want to know why you bought your bitch watch.
Why'd you get your bitch a ride?
Why'd you, like some people don't understand the dynamic of family because they haven't seen it, or they haven't experienced it, or they envy it, and they will literally try to rip your shit apart.
That's why you have to cut off your mom and your grandma and shit sometimes.
You got a good bitch you got a keisha chaor and you let somebody call you and say why you buy me a rollie
grandma she gonna always take back my cutting grandma
mona gonna get back to cutting grandma off
and i bet you she watching um she is
it was just interesting for me to hear
someone uh
in hip-hop talk about their battles with schizophrenia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was new for me.
Yeah.
And just a scary thing to be battling.
Terrifying.
Oh my God.
Even in medication.
So, let me let me ask you.
And shout out to her, too.
Yeah.
Just putting, like, updating people with mental health, like, diagnosing mental health.
That shit is not.
It's like a job.
That shit is exhausting.
Yeah.
And don't throw it in my face while we're fighting that you washed my ass either.
Like,
that should just be.
That should just be a thing that you did that goes unsaid.
Stop forgetting about that week you couldn't wipe your own ass.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm going to have to remind you.
It's going to happen.
Tell them bitches to wipe your ass.
That's
Oh, you know them bitches ain't going to do that.
Y'all memories get short.
Y'all get that short-term amnesia.
Motherfucker got to remind you.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I wiped your ass.
I brought you soup.
Shut the fuck up in here.
He went on to tell an interesting story about
him and Jeezy having the same flight and Jeezy sitting in his seat.
And that was like one of the first times they spoke to each other.
And he went over there and he was like, yo,
you're in my seat.
And Jeezy was like, all right, but I mean, my seat is right there.
it's the same seat can you just sit in mine he was like nah
i need you to get up because that's my seat and he was like my pride just wouldn't even let me go sit in another seat it wasn't but it was because it was him yeah
my pride yeah the fact that it's you nah He's an Aquarius.
No way.
I get that.
Man pride will never cease to amaze me.
I get that.
I'm sorry.
It is one of the dumbest things in the world.
For sure.
Man pride.
And we stand by it.
Just like...
and i mean i get what he's saying because of the relationship between them two but i also don't get what he's saying because it's a seed it's a seed you got the same seed over there like
i understand it from him yeah but male pride and and the way that it manifests just will always be compelling to me yo and that's how i feel when i was listening to your man stephen a smith about when he was talking about the lebron shit It's a lot of pride in that.
What he wants him to do and how he wants him to do it to approach him.
It was just a lot of pride.
It's just crazy.
And I hope that, you know, can't wait till we get to that.
But I agree.
Man, pride is no matter how much money you have.
Can y'all tell me some of the dumbest ways that y'all pride has shown?
I already started off this morning.
Y'all can go.
All the time.
No, like in relationships.
In some of my past relationships, you've done some stupid shit and
it'll take you too long
to take accountability for the stupid shit that you did.
Like, you just be, you be standing there on some prideful shit, and it's stupid.
It's just dumb.
Some of my pride, I let shit go way too long.
And, like, that's on the relationship.
Like, I could have nipped this because I was wrong.
But, no.
I let the whole building burn down because of pride.
I let the whole building burn down.
I operate better in the burning building than you do.
Let's burn it down.
When I see you frantic, and then when you frantic in the fire,
then I will realize, oh shit, we all look like the same thing.
That's terrible.
It's fucked up.
It's fucked up.
It's a relative shit.
Destroy and rebuild.
Yeah.
If this fight is as bad as I think it is, that means that
we had some things going on that we needed to knock down the house for anyway and see if we can build it back together and get it right.
It's fucked up.
It's fucked up.
I think that way, Ish, but that's how some people think.
Y'all, I think about relationships.
I straight thought about friendship.
Like, pride is kind of fun, wrong.
Like with grandma.
It's for me.
yeah even that even that like fix that you know it's like no like and I don't even know if that is pride like okay I'm not you're not gonna I'm not gonna let you do da da da da or this is how I handle people that do da da da da or my big thing is I don't want you think you could play with me like that and if I keep giving you access to me huh
that is pride right well yeah that's what I yeah that's I don't like that so if that's you know I didn't even realize I was a proud person until like recently but I'm super proud almost like a man it's terrible it is It's terrible.
Like, I don't, I'm not the one that starts speaking to my boyfriend.
He speaks to me.
Like, I don't do that.
Yeah, like, I'm not,
I'm not the one that stopped speaking either.
So if you start, you stop speaking, speak, bitch.
I'm not going to, like, I don't do that.
Yeah, like,
I'm okay with, I'm, I'm not too proud to apologize.
I, I'm,
I'm not too proud to apologize.
Yeah, I'm big on apologies.
I'm big on, if I fuck something up, fixing it.
But if the other person fucked it up, well, how fast are you to recognize when you fuck it up?
30.
Generally, pretty fast.
What if you don't agree?
Because that's where a lot of people.
That's different.
That's different.
I think where I struggle, because then it does take me a second.
Like, if I think I'm right and you think you're right.
Yeah, yeah.
Generally, though, I'm pretty good at seeing where I went wrong in a situation.
And even if I don't think I'm 100% wrong, to me, like if I'm even 45%
wrong,
I still need to apologize for that.
My issue is when I'm right and the other person doesn't apologize,
I will not talk to the relative, the friend, until they take ownership.
I can't get past it.
And I think part of pride is also forgiving them in advance and knowing their limitations.
You know what I'm saying?
Knowing this is how this person is.
I accept you who you are.
And I can't do that.
Fuck that.
All right, what else we got?
What else needs our attention or doesn't need our attention?
You want to get right to Stephen A.
Yep, please.
Get to it, bro.
Stephen A.
Smith did the pivot.
Shout out to Ryan Clark and those boys.
Yep.
He also went on 7 p.m.
in Brooklyn.
Shout out to Mello and those guys.
And seemingly he's just on another LeBron media run.
And no, well, at least if he's talking about something greater than that, those are the clips that are coming out.
I haven't watched both.
Some of the shit he talked about on the pivot was the political shit's going a little bit as well.
And the Kyrie shit.
I didn't see it.
All of it to me is part of what we were talking about last week a little bit, which is there's an endgame here for him.
I don't know.
I'm not convinced that it's all political.
I think some of it is he's just trying to draw eyeballs to these new platforms he's on.
Possible.
You know, but
i don't i i love stephen a so i i just don't recognize him anymore really comes with which part that's deep comes with growth sometimes yeah or or just or being honest about who you are
and it's not a criticism it's just it's
that's just not the person that i know that you know some of the things he's saying some of the ways he's moving i mean when i watched the lebron thing play out last year it's there felt like a moment where i was like i wanted stephen a to take the high road and just kind of back away from that from that thing and i get this the ego ego thing again.
Look like LeBron chumped you in front of...
You sitting in my seat.
Right, exactly.
I get it.
But at some point, you got to make a decision about how you're going to move.
The Kyrie thing felt real cynical to me.
It felt like, are you, I appreciate him
addressing it because I thought he didn't treat Kyrie well and I thought Kyrie deserved better from Stephen A.
I think so.
But when he started saying, yeah, but that COVID-19 thing, when he started specifically talking about the conspiracy theories, it didn't quite make sense to me.
But it felt like he was trying to play to that right-wing audience again who he wants to watch his platform.
It felt less like an apology to Kyrie and more like another way of him saying, look, look, Republicans, I'm here.
I'm here.
I didn't get that.
Also, he's been on his show talking about his opinions toward mom domi.
Yes.
Now that I think about it.
Like, this is all in the same kind of run.
See,
the COVID thing, I didn't get the political angle.
I didn't get the political angle.
I got the angle that, yo, I really, really, really, for weeks upon weeks, ridiculed this man for this.
And now all of the quote-unquote expert opinions are coming out that are now condemning this thing that they were trying to forcefully make all of us take.
And I kind of feel stupid.
So you gotta walk it back a little bit.
And you gotta walk it back.
But again, that pride come in.
So you can't just totally be humiliated and humble.
You gotta put a little oomph to it.
You get what I'm saying?
That's what I took.
I'm not really a sports guy.
Watching it, it just
made me realize that no matter how much money you have, man, the ego is a motherfucker.
I'm seeing a man in his mid, you know, we met him.
I don't know how old he is, but trying to prove that he's not a punk.
I think he's 60-ish.
Trying to prove that he's not a punk, wanting LeBron to say he wants to have a conversation by
in public, like approaching him in public in front of the cameras.
He's saying that it's a conspiracy that he was set up.
And I'm listening to this man, and I'm like, I agree with Mark.
I would hope that he take the high road because I understood what he was saying.
You know, I kind of agreed, like, when he said that LeBron, you putting me in a position you don't want us to
at one on one hand, you want us to respect your son.
That's your son.
But if he plays and he comes in, you're also telling us not to do our job.
So I kind of agreed with him on there.
But
saying that, yo, I want he was saying that how much you have relationships with other people, well other basketball players, that they could just call me.
But LeBron went and picked up the phone and called me to squash it or tell me he wants to meet me.
It just, it was ego.
He wanted approval from LeBron, wanting acknowledgement from LeBron to me.
And I felt like sometimes you, two people, you're not going to mess with everyone.
You know what I mean?
And LeBron is probably one of them people that feel like, nigga, I don't have to be cool with you because everybody else is cool with you.
I don't fuck with you like that.
And that was a thing for me.
Just watching Stephen A.
And I met him, very nice guy.
But money don't, money don't, I had a conversation with Ish earlier when I told him this.
Money doesn't change you.
Meaning like,
money doesn't make you more mature.
You were one to take the high road.
You have all this money, but you want to prove that you're tough.
It's crazy to me at 60 years old.
I see, I stand, and I've ripped Stephen A.
Smith a couple times up here.
I stand with him in that.
I think that both of them are at
the peak of their respective fields.
And I think that
in popularity and probably in money, Stephen A.
Smith does pale in comparison to LeBron James.
However, as a man, I don't have to cater to you.
The same way you feel as though I'm not worthy of a phone call, then fuck you, dog.
I don't have to call you neither.
And I think that based on
the masses being in love with LeBron, you know what I mean?
Like we kind of demonized Stephen A.
Smith a little bit.
And I kind of understood him
in that particular point.
I wasn't
totally against what he said.
I didn't get the whole like being set up on camera because at the end of the day, no matter what the angle is, if a man approach you in an aggressive way and you getting back at him, you could feel that.
You could see that on camera i don't give a fuck what the angle is so the truth is truth is he approached you and you bitched up that's what the fuck happened on camera so it's like well i don't i mean if it or he was taking a high road or he was
but either way you can't frame it that they purposely that sounds crazy to me that it's only one thing wrong though i think they did set him up i think they set him up and i think i think that um you can't publicly kill you wait wait wait wait wait wait him up when i say set him up what i mean is i i think that the cameras were where they're supposed to be I think he approached me.
LeBron is very thoughtful and calculated.
He didn't just haphazardly operate at a rage and just run up on Stephen A.
He could see Stephen A.
whenever.
I think he did it at a certain moment when certain people would be there, when certain people wouldn't be there.
And I think he knew exactly where those cameras were.
Oh, I disagree with that.
It's so corny.
And let me show you.
When he saw him is the whenever.
I'm going to see you.
You play these big ESPN games.
We're the Lakers.
We get them.
I'm going to bump into you.
And that's what it's going to be.
I don't think that...
I think he's thoughtful in what he was doing.
I also just think that game landed at that time slice when he was there and now that's what it is with you.
You don't think that LeBron James knows that they're going to read my mouth?
Every basketball player in the world goes like this when they speak.
Great.
Because we know that these cameras are on at all times.
So I'm going to purposely come.
That's what I'm saying.
He wanted to be heard in the scene.
Stephen, they said he approached him in the third quarter, Joe.
So that makes it a little bit more calculated.
He said, I was there since the first quarter.
You came to me in the third quarter.
No other cameras was there, and that camera was behind me.
So I can see what Stephen is saying.
He's getting to Before the game is over.
I don't give a fuck.
Okay, mind that.
Before this game is over, I'm getting over there.
Because even if it wasn't them cameras, somebody's going to have a camera phone out when I approached you.
That's for sure.
But I'm not trying to debate whether it was on purpose or not.
Got it.
His message was sent.
I've only heard LeBron speak about that one time after, which is on Pat McAfee.
Right.
And they both kind of was getting their shit off on Stephen A.
So it appeared.
So Stephen A kind of has been on a run since then.
I've heard him speak about this this a million places with a million people.
Yeah.
Stephen A saying.
Like, whatever happened, leave it there.
Leave it there.
Like, yo, if we fought in 09, nigga, or you stepped at me in the lunch line and like,
that's what it happened, leave it there.
Like, why?
I'm not with the media runs after fights.
I've never been a fan of that.
Joe, you know how, you know, he once LeBron approved because he stated that LeBron going on Pat McAfee offended him the most.
Yeah.
So it's like, yo, you went on this, he said, you went on this white boy show that's after me.
Like, this ESPN is my home I've been number one in the Raiders for so many years and you go on Pat McAfee's show.
So that's the other way that we're gonna beef.
I'm not just stepping to you at the Celtics Lakers game while the cameras are rolling.
Exactly.
We corporate banging too.
I'm calculated.
I'm gonna go sit here on purpose.
You gotta beef with Pat McAfee.
Pat McAfee makes what he makes versus what you make.
He gets the main slot, Sports Center, whatever, yada, yada, yada.
I'm gonna sit right there and we're gonna laugh at you together.
Cool.
So objectively, then I could go on every platform in the world and i can make my run that's gonna bring some value to me and i could diss your ass at every time i sit down i wouldn't do it but if we gonna say we playing a corporate banging game and that's his identity i mean his uh way of corporately banging then i'm not gonna knock him for that but how's that banging on lebron like him going to sit on pat mc if he bangs directly on steven jason and you just sitting here talking about me on the pivot you're not you're not affecting that's not that ain't my comp I'm just saying he did that more than just on the pivot that went on a year-long diatribe of dissing the shit out of LeBron James.
So if that's his idea of getting at LeBron James and getting my story out, then so be it.
I wouldn't.
But I think it's less about getting at LeBron.
I agree with you.
I think it's less about getting at LeBron and more about affirming his manhood.
That part too.
Like,
I can fight.
Yo, I did this.
Oh, that video of me, you know,
boxing my shoulder was out.
It's a lot of that.
Yo, Joe, I have a question for you.
What's up?
I want to advance this real quick.
You were one of the people that said to Stephen A, you know, or said even to Mark, you don't feel that someone should
comment on anyone's child.
Yo, you should leave your son alone.
After hearing
Stephen A.
speak on it, do you still stand on that belief?
Yeah.
Even if your son is a basketball player and shit.
Spoke about another second-round pick since.
Stop it.
That's my opinion.
You asked me my opinion.
Okay, I'm just wondering.
I'm not trying to argue with that.
Yes.
Even if he's the basketball player, even if it's our job to speak about sports and speak about how your son is playing and speak about his average and everything, you feel like if it's LeBron's son, you should exclude him.
Don't speak on him.
Yes.
What's the good thing?
I was just going to say, if he's killing, speak on him then or no.
Oh, if he's killing, sure.
Go ahead.
That's what a problem is.
And that's what I don't like.
If either we're going to talk about him or we're not.
And I'm okay with being of a school that...
I don't think it was cool for the TDE niggas to mention my son or the
pseudo-TDE niggas to mention my son.
That's not no matter what the fuck I come up here and say about Dolce.
Yeah.
To me, that's different.
What's the difference?
The difference is if your son, what is the difference?
I'm gonna tell you, if your son came up here and spit a freestyle, I don't think it's crazy for them to then judge the freestyle because he's putting himself on the platform to be analyzed.
Bronnie James is playing in the NBA, so I think he's putting himself in a position to be analyzed.
Now, I don't think he should get treated worse or better than other people, but the NBA is always about narratives.
We talk about LeBron in the summertime when he's not doing shit.
We talk about, like, NBA, NBA.
The Cowboys, the Lakers, the Cowboys.
They are
the pencil movers.
See, but you say we, and that's not we, that's them that do that.
Offseason for LeBron is an offseason for me for talking about LeBron.
That's you, not the best.
The sports journalism.
You know what I mean?
But he said we.
I wanted to talk about that.
I should say that.
You're all.
That's fair.
That's fair.
The Lakers, the Cowboys, the people you're talking about, that's not me.
And I don't know that that's us.
Yeah, I think it's sports journalism is really what I mean.
Sports journalism.
That's what I meant to say.
So let's say this hypothetical.
And close me out on this because there is more LeBron talk.
Cool.
Cooper Flag comes out.
He's a bust,
right?
That's somebody's son.
Cooper Flag comes out right now.
He's the number one pick in the draft and he lays a fucking goose egg.
Every single sports commentator in the world is going to be on his ass.
All right, that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm only speaking about when you know the dad for X amount of years.
And we're talking about them because it's their son.
Like, no, we're talking about Cooper Flag because he's somebody's son, right?
But you see what I'm saying?
We're talking about Ronnie because it's LeBron's son, which I'm like, it i'm okay with that let me tell you if he's in the nba now if he's in if he's in germany play i'm not gonna pull up videos and watch this kid play like i believe that that stephen a believes and believed everything that he said about kyrie as it relates to covet 19 in the mid in the midst of it happening i agree i think that he believes that stuff yeah
i think that after he had a conversation with kyri's dad who he does have a relationship with, he gained understanding.
And now he's on his platform saying, nah, I see it a different way now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think factories.
If you have a relationship with the dad, I don't think, I don't, I don't, only me, I don't think that you get to operate like all of the other pundits.
I would agree with that, but they don't.
I have a relationship.
And the other side is if you don't have a relationship with that part of the dad, that part of the school.
Don't take it out on the sun.
Yeah, but don't look for it.
Don't use my son to shoot at me.
Don't use my son to shoot at me.
I don't like you.
So I'm shooting at you through him, basically.
And I think that's corny.
You could just critique.
I'm going to take that out for you.
You can just critique me.
For the rest of my life, I'm making it like I get my shit off the bottom.
I think all of that is corny.
If you are doing that, and I just don't, me, I don't have it as him doing that.
What's the other thing?
Lastly, I want to talk about the LeBron Russell Westbrook rumors.
Yes.
Where...
Three teams later, they're saying what Russell Westbrook thought about his time on the Lakers
and his relationship with Braun.
He says, and I don't know if this is true or not, but this is being widely reported.
LeBron quietly pushed for a reunion with Kyrie Irving, a move that would have required trading Russell Westbrook, despite publicly denying it.
LeBron often said, let Russ be Russ in interviews, but didn't actually support him behind the scenes.
During a Lakers team event where Will Smith came to speak, LeBron and A.D.
suddenly walked out before he arrived.
Minutes later, they returned acting overly friendly.
LeBron dominated the talk, asking questions and quoting movie lines.
Westbrook, allegedly watching in disbelief, told a teammate after, I hate that fake shit.
I just can't do it.
Boy, Russell Westbrook sounds like me.
Westbrook saw multiple examples of LeBron misrepresenting himself, like claiming The Godfather was his favorite movie, but not knowing a single line, carrying the autobiography of Malcolm X to interviews without being able to discuss it, and even saying he predicted Kobe's 81-point game.
These moments made Russ believe
that LeBron was inauthentic.
Now, again, we don't know if these reports are true or not or how relevant they are, right?
Like this is three years ago that Russell Westbrook was on the Lakers, so who cares?
But
it is, it is
worth mentioning.
Yeah, and I've seen video of Russell Westbrook signing jerseys.
Fans had different jerseys.
He wouldn't sign a Lakers jersey.
So there is, there's something there.
I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with Russell having his own
analysis of the Lakers situation.
LeBron personally, if he thinks LeBron was inauthentic, I think a lot of superstars are inauthentic.
I think that's a tough thing.
I'm with Russell.
Like, fuck the fake shit.
I'm not going to pretend.
I'm with all that.
But I think we also have to be honest that to be a superstar, almost by definition, there's a level of performance that goes with that.
What are you supposed to do when Will Smith come up?
Now, you ain't got to pretend you watch The God Father's Your Favorite Movie.
You ain't got to pretend that to have read Malcolm X and always be on page two of every book you ever hold up.
And you ain't got to sit there on an exercise bike with a book.
I get all that.
That's bullshit.
But like, there's a level of fakeness that comes with being a superstar.
I just don't know how you don't do that.
Michael Jordan.
I mean, who's been a superstar who didn't do that?
Maybe Muhammad Ali?
A lot.
It's a lot of people don't necessarily play into the media shit.
But they schmooze.
I'm talking about, because the Will Smith was kind of behind the scenes schmooze.
Because you don't have to do that stuff.
You could come there and be representative of who you are at your core without all the shucking.
Then you become Tim Duncan.
See, a lot of times people believe that being
brand and image conscious means that you are not being yourself.
True.
And I disagree with that.
I totally disagree with that.
I think that your brand is your brand.
And I think when you are as big as Michael Jordan, LeBron James,
Joe Butt,
the brand will align with who they know you are.
You don't have to be somebody else to attract the brand.
I think that
who the fuck not going to give LeBron an endorsement deal?
You get what I'm saying?
So I think that you'll make the brands come to your side of the cracker barrel.
Cracker barrel.
He don't need them.
So that's my thing.
And they would definitely do a deal with LeBron.
So
that's what I think.
I don't think you got to be inauthentic to attract money when the money is fucking oozing out of you.
They would do a deal with you.
They'd do a deal with you, too.
I wouldn't do it, though.
I know you would.
I wouldn't do it.
That's the difference between me and you.
No, it's not.
You would take the cracker barrel bag.
I wouldn't.
No.
What's wrong with the cracker barrel bag?
Nothing.
He's talking shit.
No, okay.
That nigga is talking bullshit.
That's all.
Just him being him.
Got it.
What else needs our attention?
Your boy Chris Brown brown getting money on this tour shouts to them tour just rapped and well the final reported number was how much 241 241 million dollars such a crazy crazy
and
that ain't counting the after parties the
the photos the like hey man
let's go ish hey man hit him up for a little you know um
congratulations the reports are 241.
um he got another album they said right damn near yeah about to be released.
Brown.
Yeah, they said he's not playing.
When that kind of money comes into your family,
I don't know him.
Okay.
This nigga is so serious.
He's stepping all over my shit.
He's not.
I've never met him.
It really is your family.
It is my family, but I never met him.
But do you have his number?
No.
I've never met him.
Probably if I tried.
Let's call him.
I'm good.
Why not?
Call who for what?
I ain't gonna lie.
They had a video acting.
They don't look alike.
Yeah, see, even that's kind of what I mean about foolish pride.
Foolish man pride.
Do you think that's an example of that?
Yes, not at all.
Let me ask you this: it's not foolish.
No, but I think it's pride.
If he worked at McDonald's and he, my cousin that I never met, would I go out my way to get his phone number?
You wouldn't know.
You wouldn't know.
No, he's not.
But that's different.
He's not.
What's the difference?
He's famous.
He works at McDonald's.
Easy.
Yeah.
Chris Brown.
Y'all in adjacent fields, too.
Right.
I'll give you an example.
I'll give you an example.
Like Mike Wilbon.
We go to the same family reunions.
We're not blood, but we're family, right?
Because we share cousins.
People are like, y'all need to meet.
Now, we've been together since I was a kid, but as an adult, I had never met him.
We're both in journalism.
So yes, I'm going to reach out to him versus if he worked at Cinnabon.
Because we have a relationship to each other and it makes sense.
You guys have been in the same spaces since you were children, you said.
Right, but I was intentional when I was younger.
He's older than me, but I was intentional about going to a place he was.
I mean, it was our family's house.
Just so we could lay, you know what I mean?
So when we see each other, it's not weird.
If I saw Chris Brown at Battery Day, I wouldn't intentionally go over there because he's over there.
But would you walk up to him and say, hey, I'm your cousin?
Yeah.
Yeah, but he would probably.
I'm asking you a question.
Would you walk up to him and say, hey, I'm your cousin?
No, I would walk up to him and speak to him like I would do any of my other family members that I never met there.
But you wouldn't identify like, oh, I wouldn't go up to him specifically because he's Chris Brown and introduce myself.
I would go up to all of my family members and introduce myself.
That's pride.
I mean, it's pride.
It's not foolish pride, though.
It's just pride.
This isn't foolish.
No, no, no.
no.
Joe said it earlier.
I had to take foolish job, man pride.
It's man pride.
Just
pride and weird pops up at.
All I can think of is.
Because you don't want to look at a certain way, right?
You don't want to say that.
No, because I think that's weird.
That I would intentionally go to Chris Brown as opposed to my other cousins or other family members that I never met and introduce myself to him, but not introduce myself to him.
I'm not saying walk past all the other cousins.
That don't make sense to me.
You're missing what we're doing.
We're saying it's not a line of cousins you never met.
Yes, it is.
All right, you got it.
If there wasn't, right?
And he was there.
Yeah, I would introduce myself to him.
But again, I would treat him just like I'm treating any of my other family members at my family cookouts.
If I twist, he approaches you.
What's up, nigga?
I've been waiting for you to call me.
What up, my nigga?
All I can think of is you come from a family of beautiful high-yellow niggas.
Like, I'm fucking fine.
I want to see the rest of these niggas.
What's up?
So, if somebody come up to you and say, yo, I'm your cousin, Ish.
I never met you.
You think they're weird?
No.
You said it's weird if you do it, but you wouldn't think if somebody do that to you, it'd be weird.
Yeah, good job for that.
That's great, dog.
Y'all, did you hear what I said?
Say what I said in its entirety before your goofies cut it up and put it out.
I said, Y'all would introduce myself to him the same way I would introduce myself to all of my other family members that are present.
Okay,
we got you.
We got you.
We got you.
I'm in it.
I'm damn sure.
Hey, it's your world.
I don't.
It's your world.
Man, bro,
oh, what else needs our attention?
Oh, shit.
Was that earlier today?
Earlier today, my ring camera went off.
Oh, yeah, the ring cameras went down.
Shit, everything.
Amazon.
A few things went down.
A lot of shit went down.
Yeah, my fantasy app still got my record wrong.
Shit is fucked up out there.
Oh, that's why my record.
Yeah, no, no.
Apps are fucked up.
The ring camera went down.
You can't see shit.
Everything secretly relies on AWS.
I didn't realize it until my shit came back up.
Most people are easy.
It made me want to ask you guys:
what daily function in your life
would you be down bad if they took away?
Navy Federal.
Salesite.
Wi-Fi.
Uber Eats.
Wi-Fi.
Yeah, Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi.
Give me more specific than Wi-Fi.
Okay.
Now, Wi-Fi, I can book
delivery services.
I do everything through delivery services.
Even here, where I bring Dunkin' Donuts every day, the Dunkin' Donuts, I walk past the Dunkin' Donuts.
to get into this building, I still order through the apps.
I've become completely reliant on apps for food, for home deliveries,
whatever, home supplies.
I do everything through the app.
Would you say what?
Porn.
I don't watch porn, but if I did, I'm sure I would use the app.
That's what I'm saying.
Like,
I would die without it.
This whole shit, like I said, I said Navy Federal, online banking, because
I don't deal with cash.
I knew that was your bank.
It's a great.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
It's the way he says.
He says, he just spoke like a dish.
He's trying to tell you.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I didn't know that.
I'm not saying nothing.
I just knew that he banked with Navy Federal.
He's trying to say some lunch.
Ask his employer.
You should, you know.
That's a great bank.
What's wrong with you?
I got USAA, nigga.
Is that the only bank you bank with?
No, I have two banks, but that's the main answer.
Let's stop naming our banks before y'all get hacked.
The fucking word.
It's so stupid.
That nigga is stupid.
Hey.
Yo,
I'm ignoring you.
They use military time in that motherfucker.
Okay, come back at 19 o'clock.
I got 600 AM3.
I got USAA, nigga, so we good.
What is USAA?
I'm sorry.
What is that?
It's another one.
I figured you had USSA.
My mama's in the Marines, nigga.
I get it.
Is that a credit union?
No.
Navy Federals are a credit union.
They're really Navy Federals.
They're really similar.
You know what it was.
A lot of black people.
Do they have interest?
A lot of black people ran out and got them Navy Federals thinking that they would.
They're better than banks.
Navy Federals are loan shark.
Man.
That's what you're doing.
No, that came out.
And Annabelle Barnesman.
Listen, it came out.
It was all these rumors about people, you would get all these, you know what?
Listen, people thought that you go there and you get loans and all this other shit.
And then it came out that it wasn't true.
And there was a lot of predatory loans for people that were like poor.
I thought that was a known thing.
Yes, but people went and rose to Navy Federal, I thought, because they thought they were going to look out for black people.
I'm not playing about this.
I thought that was like a thing.
Because I went out and got my Navy Federal, and they were saying, That's what you're supposed to have.
I did that.
What you got?
No, I didn't get nothing.
I'm just saying, but when everybody was running around doing it, I was a part of that.
Like, okay, I want to, you know.
I need to call my mom and find out the name of that little green card bank I used to have.
It took me one time to go in there and look around.
I'm like, all right, say less.
This will be my last time, last time fucking with you.
TD?
No, no, it's not TD.
It's some like Navy Federal shit.
It's not Navy.
What technology could you not live with?
What technology?
Or the only question you asked us.
Only for my Keurig.
Oh,
I just got a nice new espresso with the money.
My Keurig
would make my days longer.
I need you to step up
your game.
No more Keurigs, but you know, I'm going to gift you something for quick.
I keep saying that.
People keep saying that to me.
I just got the Espresso machine, man.
It changed your life.
Nespresso?
Espresso machine.
I only drink espresso when I go to Ferrari and they make it.
You can do it at home.
I'll show you how to do it.
You ain't even hear this nigga.
No, they got a machine called Nespresso.
It's like five.
Fancy.
It starts with an N.
It's Curing 2.0.
Y'all stop with the Curing.
This is all too basic, y'all.
I'm trying to tell y'all.
He's right.
I'm going to get y'all some machines to do it.
I'm telling you, that Nespresso machine is a banger.
You could froth the cream and all that spin and shit for you.
You could do all that shit.
You can get your food froth a little bit from me.
Y'all niggas think I want to wake up and drink froth.
Yes, it's delicious.
According to the guy in here.
Sneaker store,
you're the frothiest.
Come on, die.
Exactly.
Come on, stop, yo.
See, you know?
I see.
Motherfucker, boy.
But what else?
What else we need?
What else do we need to get?
Wait, Mark was talking about his ring, and you kind of stepped on it and told.
No, no, no, it's cool.
This is where I wanted to go with it.
I know you were clowning me out.
You tried to climb me about earlier.
Yeah, nigga.
I was on my ring cameras when it started working again, and I heard my doorbell ring, so I answered it, and it was two very nice black women, well-dressed, on my door.
And because of where I live, two well-dressed black women don't belong at my door.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We gotta shit.
I was like, like,
nobody's door to door should be, you know what I mean?
So,
I said, yo, what's wrong?
I was, no, I'm just saying, like, people, I don't have any neighbors that look like that.
So, why?
I lived in your town for a long time.
You did not live in my part of the town.
I lived on the other side of the track.
You're the track.
You're the other side.
Literally.
So out of your mind.
All I said was,
are you all Jehovah's Witnesses?
Just shooting in the dark.
And they said yes.
And I said,
no, thank you.
Please don't ever come back again.
And he says that that's over the top and wrong.
Hell no.
I ain't going to hold you.
That was most of ours first time hearing somebody speak back to them.
Like,
we got to ignore them, nigga.
We ignored them.
Hello?
That's worse.
That's worse.
Having them knock and knock.
And you weren't even home.
You ain't had to answer.
You did it from your aunt.
I did it from right here.
I didn't even know them niggas was still out.
I ain't know either.
I ain't gonna go home.
I thought they was going with TV God.
I thought that was the 80s thing.
Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jehovah's Witnesses.
They're strong people.
They can take all types of disrespect.
They don't feel offended.
Yo, move.
No, no, thank you.
They still stand there and try to be like, well, you have a day and come.
You got a watchtower.
And disrespect to Jehovah's Witnesses.
I respect you.
Anybody who wants to proselytize, I did it.
I've been in different situations.
You was a Jehovah's Witness before?
No, no, I'm just saying, like, I've been in organizations where part of the call is to knock on doors.
Or to reach out to people.
You know, in Islam, you do da'wah, right?
But you don't go to people's house.
So
I'm cool with that.
But once I, I don't want them to come back.
And a lot of times people, most of us just hide behind the couch.
You grew up with everybody be quiet.
I ain't doing that shit no more.
I pay you too much taxes to be hiding behind my couch.
I told them, don't come back no more.
Are you taking your kid trick-or-treating this year?
Halloween is on the show night.
So it's up to you, Mr.
Joe.
Oh, you're not then.
You're not there.
Y'all do that?
No.
Yes.
No.
That is disgusting.
I don't do that.
What, trick-or-treating?
Trick-or-treating is disgusting.
That's the nastiest ghetto shit ever.
It's disgusting.
It's horrible.
It's dangerous.
It's kind of demonic.
It's dangerous.
Demonic?
All I can remember as a kid.
All I can remember as a kid was the fear of Knives being in the fucking candy and drugs.
That was like the big thing.
That was the thing with this kid.
You get the candy, you either hiding it from them people because you don't feel like them searching it, aka stealing it from you, then you eating it scared, dreaming that you're going to eat razors.
It's just disgusting.
I can't believe that any of our parents even let us do that shit.
My children don't go unless you
can go.
I just did this weekend where they do trunk or treat.
That's free.
It's going to freeze.
Why you do it so early?
That's how they do it.
That's how they did it early enough because they knew people was going to be trick-or-treating on them, probably on Halloween.
So they did it last weekend.
He got the pumpkin outfit.
Freeze.
Get ahead, boy.
Get the shit off, boy.
You went to trunk-or treat.
I said a trunk-or-treat.
Yeah, I got it.
No, go ahead, finish.
No, I'm sorry, I don't want to step on nobody's jokes.
I'm sorry, no, it's not a joke.
Get free.
You went to trunk-or-treat.
But no, and we do trick-or-treating as well.
Oh, okay.
It's like where I live, it's a whole
coldest sad.
Oh, the community does it together.
Yeah, everybody, like, damn near everybody participates.
So, people sitting outside the cold as sad.
But it's just, it's just like, honestly, y'all, it's so gross.
People don't even, yo,
the whole fucking country just shut down because niggas won't wash their hands.
So, y'all want my kids to knock on niggas' doors?
No, that's not why we shut down.
No, that is why we shut down.
If we were hand washers, COVID wouldn't have spread like that, Flip.
That's a fact.
People don't wash their hands.
That's why I got like that.
America's dirty.
It's nasty, Flip.
If we were hand washers, it wouldn't have been that bad, babe.
Yeah, that's a fact.
People are nasty like that.
I'm going to just tell you.
How often do y'all go to the bathroom and nobody washes their hands?
You see it a lot, right?
I wash my mom.
I wash my hands.
Of course, y'all do.
You're going to say it.
You are a healer.
I see women doing all the music.
I heard women are terrible.
I just watched white girls on a podcast probably a year ago.
Like, dude, I never watched my hair.
Like, what?
Why would I watch my ass because I touched my own butt?
And they was dead serious about it.
Oh, that's when the whole world found out that white people don't really watch their legs.
Wash up at all.
Yeah, because you know, I don't know if everybody knows at home that some whites just soap up and let the soap.
go between the toes.
You know how we go down there digging that shit.
They just let the soap lay on it.
I feel like white people need to be studied the way they'd study everybody else.
White people, if they start just sharing about their whiteness, we're going to learn some shit.
What?
Them niggas.
I'm telling you, I will hop right online.
You have to wash your legs?
Like, yes, you fucking white fuck.
Yo, damn.
Yo, remember when it came out that they don't wash the kids?
Yeah.
They don't bathe the children.
Don't bathe the children.
Yes.
They don't watch them kids.
What y'all mean?
Wait, hold up.
Don't bathe the motherfucking children.
That's why my baby keep getting sick.
Excuse me.
I watched this white woman and she just was just being irregular, candid, and she was talking about how it doesn't make any sense to bathe a kid every day because their skin it's not good for their okay it's not good for their skin because like i don't know you know i've raised babies and wiped ass and all that they got to get there they got to get washed up and it's like you don't necessarily have to dunk these in hot scolding water and scrub their backs but yeah need them wipe down behind them ears and their belly button culturally we wash our asses they don't so that's the point though culturally i'm saying like if you send your kid to school every day you should wash them every day because they there's so many germs and they're playing and all that but if they're at home with you you you don't necessarily early ages have to wash them every day And I think sometimes that's a cultural thing.
I do it because it's a cultural thing.
Y'all talk shit about me, but culturally, like, it's not.
Because that neck smell like cheese when it's a babe.
You got to wipe that nigga down.
Mark, please.
It's hard, y'all.
I don't know.
Nah, it's weird.
It's a cultural thing.
Baby wipes on the
wipe them down.
Wipe them down.
You don't have to put, I'm not talking about tub of water, bubbles everywhere, scrub whole full thing, but yeah, you have to wash them.
You got to put them in the sink every everywhere.
You gotta put them in the sink everywhere.
With the cotton olive, fill it all up.
Come on.
Joe, please.
Wow.
Please.
So, Joe, when you have your next round of kids, if you do, right?
No, no, no trick-or-treat.
Oh, no, I'm not with that.
Hell no.
No, no, no, no.
You're talking to somebody.
I don't ever put a Christmas tree up.
Like, I don't know.
I'm just
gonna do it.
My kids never do.
I don't do Halloween.
Well, y'all names Joe.
Because, like,
for you, it's like the religious, spiritual stuff?
It's a bunch of shit.
Like, think about all of the Halloween costumes.
Think about most of the stuff that it relates to.
All of that shit.
I'm not with none of that.
The Halloween costume, the kids was Power Rangers, Batman.
My son is gloomy,
it's little shit that they like.
You got what you say?
What do it relate to?
What do the costumes relate to?
Traditionally, what does Halloween relate to?
Well, that's the adults that take it and do a lot of people.
It's gonna stay over
and be right at the Linni S, Linni S Lala Halloween Bar.
Not with a
anyway, bro.
Like I was saying, fake out.
That's just not my thing.
I got you.
I mean, some people can't with me.
Witches, devils, warlocks.
That is the tradition of Halloween.
We're talking about.
I'm sitting here playing dumb.
Mickey Miles.
I was just playing dumb.
I was saying this dumb table.
Dan ate the tradition of Halloween.
We just josh it.
Yo, stop, bro.
We just josh it.
I'm not.
I feel what you're saying.
I'm not playing dumb.
It's definitely connected to some of that stuff.
You know, I just find that I think that holidays and festivals can be reworked.
And I think in modern times, people do different things with it than they did in the past.
It's like every Valentine's Day, people do that, right?
They go, you know, who St.
Valentine was?
Like, that's not necessarily how people think about it now, and I think it's okay.
Or Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a good one.
I mean, that's nothing but a colonizer holiday.
But I think black people
when we get together on Thanksgiving, we're not celebrating.
We're not doing that yet.
Yeah, so I don't assume that because something had a meaning before that it has to be that meaning.
I'm not telling you to do it.
I'm just saying I feel like people who are doing it aren't necessarily engaging that stuff.
I just feel like I could buy my own Twix.
Period.
But that's
just the
best.
Why are we begging the neighbors?
Yeah, like
daddy got it.
The neighbors got the little snickers.
Daddy got it.
They got the little snickers.
Documenters.
It's not experienced.
Yeah, they work.
Nigga, you ain't knocked on that neighbor door in five years.
Shut up.
Here you come now.
Oh, trickle-tree with your little bastard.
No, nigga.
Go to the supermarket.
The candy's on sale.
Get it yourself.
I hate it.
You don't want to build community with your neighbors?
No.
And so, you, what you said, Mark.
They've already seen your little sneakers.
No.
What Mark said?
Yeah.
They see your baby Twix.
You'll catch it later on the remote.
This is good with it.
I live in a white neighborhood like you, nigga.
I ain't trying to knock on no door.
Hey, nigga, here.
I live here.
This is my son.
You know what they do in my neighborhood, though?
They have like the Saturday before, at least for the younger kids, where they have a Halloween party like that Sunday.
So you're not knocking door to door.
Or if you are,
it's broad daylight.
Everybody sits up on their lawn.
They set up the table.
You just come and collect candy.
That's how the trick-and-treat.
That might not be bad.
See, I like around
around christmas time i like shout out to you houses that do all the decorating and it's the whole block lit up and now you get to take your kid and walk or drive and it's a whole town community type of thing everybody's out with the kids i do like that yeah i do like that one two i forgot to mention in my kids empire story that i am judging my kid for going to kids empire without another kid friend and having fun
yo i saw the incident picture of him laid out with a thing i just that wasn't him that was another kid that had died in that little kid death track.
That wasn't my kid.
You ain't ever had to go up in there?
I wouldn't let my kid.
I don't let my kid do that.
I don't let my kid do that.
Do what?
It makes sense.
Because the rule of the place is only two kids at a time, but they're understaffed because the economy, they don't have somebody there making sure it's two kids at a time.
What the fuck is that weakening as 12?
So you got these little tiny, tiny miniature toddler daughters, girls in there, big ass 12-year-old, nine-year-old dude come.
Nah, I don't let my kid do none of that.
Not at all.
None of it.
I mean, it is a recipe for disaster because shit go down in there.
That's why you always see fights break out because people see their kids getting shoved.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but
have fun
on the big slide.
And even that could cause a little fight, depending on who's at the bottom of the slide and how fast they move.
They don't move out the way right away.
I just don't want my kid to be scared.
So I'm always like, yo, do it.
Like, whatever ride it was.
You know what I mean?
I used to literally trick my kids to get on roller coasters and all that because I just don't want them to have fear about stuff like that.
And I could tell what parents at the spot got the gun in the trunk.
Like some of you parents reek of John Potter.
Oh my God.
Anyway,
what else we got?
What else we got?
I'm dying to know why Pizza Hut is written on the board, but we don't have to right this second.
I was going to tell you, this is where I was going.
Oh, let's do it then.
Because you all were talking about the whites.
And one of the things I was...
wondering about lately is are they more emboldened in the era of Trump?
Like, do do they feel
of course I'm talking about everyday life, right?
So the reason I ask is because a thing's been going around the web today.
A woman was in Pizza speaking Spanish and apparently that made somebody really unhappy.
She starts calling out to the woman, speak English.
English is the capital of America.
Huh?
She said the capital?
She said English is the capital of America.
And the woman tried to pop fly back.
Well, I speak English and Spanish.
I speak two languages.
What do you speak?
And she said, English is the capital of America.
Now, that would be the end of it, except she then called ICE.
What?
She called ICE.
Or me, no, no, not you.
Although it might have ended the same way.
The ICE agent showed up.
What?
Was she an employee or a customer?
She was a customer ordering a pizza.
Now, to Pizza's credit, they did not serve the racist white woman her pizza.
Okay.
Good.
Shout out to them.
That's good.
Also, the woman was from Puerto Rico.
So she was American.
Yeah.
And she said, you need to self-deport back to Puerto Rico.
I mean, when I see major news pundits having a problem with this,
it's hard to blame the rural, racist white lady at the pizza.
Yeah, like when CNN, or Fox rather, is up there saying that these immigrants are going to be performing at the halftime show talking about Bad Bunny being a Puerto Rican, how do I expect
the racist lady to get it?
I can't tell if the whites are getting worse or if I'm just getting more
and more.
No, they're getting worse.
No, it's not that they're getting worse.
They're
empowered.
They're empowered.
They're not hiding it anymore.
A great example.
Normally, you get to the traffic thing with a whack.
If you're at the light, this nigga looks straight.
He might cuss at you, put you off, but he'll look straight.
Now at the light, they're waiting.
Fuck you.
It's like an energy on it.
First of all, white people are infamously, historically noosy.
A white person will come out and say, that's a handicap.
Why are you parked there?
You don't work at the PPA.
You're not parking the 30.
We at the Walgreen together.
You know what what I mean?
But for some reason, you're supposed to tell me I can't park in Henke.
That's just how white people are, right?
So now with this badge of like, I'm tough and I'm safer, right?
It's like, now I'm going to do it a little more emphasis, especially when you add the thing about calling the police, because that was like a thing.
It was such a thing.
Certain counties started to like make it, if you call the police for no reason, you get in trouble.
Because that's how much white people were calling the police on black people for just being black in public.
You know what I mean?
And it's like when a white person says to you, I'm going to call the cops.
That doesn't mean mean I'm going to call a cops.
That means I'm going to get you shot.
That's what that means.
Right?
So it's just, I don't know.
I hate it.
And I
wish one of y'all would.
Like, it's just, when I see them clips and people taping people, call me a nigger again or say it again.
You're not going to get that from me.
I can't hold this phone for what I'm ready to do to Heather in this fucking CBS.
Like, I'm just not, it's not happening.
Heather's going to be holding the phone.
But you know,
if she can hold on to it for too long,
and it's the thing, though, right?
The other thing to add to it is, it's like
it's always like
that we are the people that are being excited or being aggressive, bringing whatever, right?
But it's a very aggressive thing to walk up to a stranger and give them directions.
So, the fact that we're supposed to pretend like that's why it's bothering you.
I'm just ordering my pizza now.
I'm speaking Spanish to my peoples.
You know what I'm curious about?
Do they do it to each other?
Perks, do white people do that to you?
What's up?
Like, do a white person just get in your business and tell you what to do for no reason?
Is that an experience you have?
I've had that experience since I was a kid to now.
No, not really.
Okay, so it is for black people because we need help.
Okay.
Yeah, it's definitely for black people.
Anyway, shout out to Pizza Hut again for holding it down and for not serving that woman.
And yo, listen, speaking on that, y'all heard about the DoorDash incident?
Yes.
Yes, that was creepy.
Yes.
White lady, no disrespect.
I don't know if I identify with her.
Okay, probably not.
She was doing a DoorDash delivery.
Okay.
It was a contactless door dash.
Specific directions.
Yo, put that shit down and go your way.
When she walks up to the door, the man is laying there, beef out.
I'm sorry?
His pants down.
He fell asleep.
His pants down.
He's naked.
Outside?
No, on his couch.
She doesn't commit him.
She went.
She opened his door.
No, the door was open.
No, no, no.
She was open.
She didn't go in the house.
Come on, guys.
The door was open.
So when she walked up, the door was open and he was laying.
He fell asleep on the couch, naked.
Let's just say that.
Sleep open there.
She then records him, posted on TikTok, and said, this is sexual harassment.
And now she's mad at DoorDash for canceling her account.
She basically got fired from DoorDash.
Yes.
So, okay, I'm sorry.
So basically, she
before, now you think you're a DoorDasher, you deliver to a person, and you think, oh my God, this freak, he purposely picks this contactless delivery.
He purposely pulls his pants down to his knees, pulls his penis out because he wants me to see this, right?
Sound like you want a contactless.
Yeah, this is.
I'm just, this is, but this is how she took it, that he purposely did this in an effort to, like, in exposure kind of vibe.
But the problem I had with it, right, was when she first posted it, number one, she posted it right after it happened, right?
So, and she kept seeing what DoorDash said and how DoorDash handled her.
She didn't get a response from DoorDash, right?
But if...
That happened that fast and you responded and took his fucking picture and posted it before you took the DoorDash, why don't you know that you're in the wrong as well?
Also, she used the word sexual assault.
Now, you can correct me if you smart one, right?
If indication exposure is sexual assault, then then I get it.
Sexual harassment.
I looked at it.
I thought indicative exposure was more of a harassment kind of thing and not necessarily a physical thing.
So when she uses the word, I've been sexually assaulted or whatever, it just kind of gave like, what is your angle here?
DoorDash eventually put out a statement and
she lost her account and she complained about it.
And the DoorDash put out a statement.
But in my opinion, DoorDash wasn't.
One question.
When she posted the picture of him,
was he actually naked?
Did she blur stuff?
She blurred his penis out, yeah.
But he looked sleep sleep to me.
In the picture, he looked like he was.
You know what he looked like to me?
Like he beat off and fell asleep.
I've court men like that.
Before she arrived.
Yes, it looked like he got her.
I jerked her off and waited for her.
So then he might not have been waiting for her.
I was trying to gauge whether he was.
So what DoorDash said today when they put out a statement is that she...
The reason why her account is canceled is because you recorded him and put his full name out there.
You exposed.
That's against the law.
That's against the law.
Yeah, that's against our policies.
We're going to take your account away.
She's saying that she wants everybody to sort of protest against DoorDash because she lost her job.
They didn't give her a reason.
But DoorDash put out a statement today saying that you can't do that.
Yeah.
DoorDash, to me, DoorDash was wrong.
Everybody in this thing was wrong.
Obviously, let's start with him because if we don't, people are going to think.
I'm not saying, I'm not going to do it.
I'm not listening to you.
I'm just going to order.
I'm just listening.
Yeah.
If you order food,
just wear pants.
Or shut the door.
Or shut the door.
Because your door is open.
Because your door is open.
Yeah.
Even if you don't order food, your door shouldn't be open.
You shouldn't be naked
by it could be halloween bro dick out so
but but let's say
some nut shit i don't think it's that mark nah tripping joe if i order a pizza and somebody's coming to my door and i'm letting that but i'm not meeting you at the pizza i'm not meeting you at the door for the delivery I'm in the house and from what I understand, I keep trying to double check.
She further pushed the door open.
It wasn't wide open.
Okay, that's different.
That's different.
See, my understanding was that she walks up to the door.
The door is wide open.
This dude's standing in front of her, but ass naked.
And I'm like,
he's laying on the door's over there.
He keeps saying
on the couch, and he's meeting it, and he's home.
I was saying, she's okay if your door is closed.
I was saying this.
And at the end of the day, I guarantee you.
It's okay if my door ain't closed.
You ain't supposed to be in my door, in my house.
It's not.
You can't cross this threshold.
Water trips from which you can leave.
What I'm saying is, you're correct in my understanding.
My understanding was she could see him from the door.
That's what I'm saying.
If you're saying she actually intruded and she only saw him naked because she went too far into the house.
All right, so now
she's wrong.
Pause.
But either way, let let me finish this talk.
But either way, you still shouldn't videotape him and put on the internet.
Right.
That's a thousand percent wrong.
Right.
I agree.
And way worse than his
being naked on the couch, falling asleep.
Right.
Right.
Because that's the thing.
With him being naked on the couch and looking sleep, he can defend that.
Oh, fuck.
I fucked up.
What you're saying is absolutely correct.
You cannot fall asleep when you live.
Remember where you were poor and you would live in apartments, they would be real small, so somebody stood at your door with the mail, they could see you jerking off in the kitchen.
That's the kind of house it was.
So if you're laying on that kind of couch, and this is the couch, and the front door is where that board is you can't sit here with your dick out if you order door dash because it gets delivered here and that's how she described it she said it was exhibition because little girls deliver right and that's the thing where she played herself at was she took her chance out to even have i don't know about door dash but there's an age limit on who beats So would you have to be 21 or 18?
You can't be underage.
And DoorDash too, because that's why kids are using their baby.
But 18 is still a kid to you.
21 is still a kid to you.
So
you would never want a kid to catch you like that.
You wouldn't.
Never.
Right.
So what I'm telling you is when you're poor and it's a small house, we ain't talking about no big shit the door is here the couch is here your dick is out you're wrong for that at order and door dash period nobody should be able to walk to your door and see your piece
i'm shocked that you let me ask you a question because you wouldn't do it hold on let me ask you a question what if what if his window was open and the door was closed what if his shit was little if the window
I don't,
why did you say if the window was open, we could debate a bit.
Because now we could talk about blinds.
But with the front door,
like this, ice, listen, with with the front door me as a woman the first my first sight of that i didn't automatically think that she was totally off it made me think she was off because of her words that she used use words like monetization you trying to make money use words like sexual assault and ain't nobody touch you other than that I totally believe a freak would fucking place themselves like that to get that excitement of you seeing them like that.
Even if they play sleep because they can watch on the camera, please stop.
Like I was, I was 10.
And a motherfucker, when I was 10, I would go downtown, I would catch the train downtown in Philadelphia.
Motherfuckers would flash me.
Niggas would wear trench coats and show show me their penises.
50, 60-year-old men.
Freaky shit happened to girls.
So that's not something that's like crazy.
And as a person that's maintaining the house, a man, yeah, you should know that you can't hand your dick out like that after you order food.
What are we talking about?
What's more likely food, Ice?
Mona, what's more likely?
What's more likely what?
That she full of shit.
She sleep naked on the couch, or he sat there with his tiger bomb ready to have a heart on when she dropped off the food.
Which one is more likely to be?
I ain't gonna lie, Joe.
I'm gonna say,
more likely.
I'ma say,
I don't know, bro.
You fell asleep with your drawers.
Let me read her account.
His pants is at his knees and his drawers at his knees.
You fell asleep.
Come on, bro.
That's weird.
You jerked off and fell asleep.
I heard her exact statement because it's more in line with what I thought.
This is what I thought she said.
She said, on October 12th, the DoorDash customer requested that their order be left at their door.
The mic mark.
When I arrived at their front door, their front door was wide open.
Their lights were on, and they were sleeping on the couch within eyesight of the front door with their pants and underwear pulled down to their ankles, and they were indecently exposed to me.
to me that's different than i creep in your house and then i catch you on it if i can stand at your door and see you butt-ass naked that is i that's all i was saying he did wrong you can't lay on the couch in front of the door not in america i don't agree i'm with you there but that's not how i originally interpreted that's what that's what i heard that's what i really doubled into the details here and i went out and let me let me tell y'all further with this i wasn't convinced it wasn't ai i don't know why it just looked like some fake shit to me so i really looked and tried to find her original page because i don't like when i get caught up in them stories and they all fake so now before i even get upset before i tweet before I say a fucking word, before I bring it up on my pot, any other pot, I'll look around.
So when I finally felt the little girl, and that's what made me, as soon as I heard her story, it was like, nah, because she kept talking about money and sexual assault.
She trying to make a bag.
You know, that's what people do, but that's corny to me.
I think she got what she deserved as well because she didn't even wait to follow anything from them.
She straight just took it her own way like DoorDash Man in Dora for a month.
That's where the other problem is today.
It's run straight to the internet.
Like if that was an issue,
there's proper channels that you go through.
911, Ice.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
There's a proper way to handle that not running to the internet to expose what you saw
i was hungry i can get a settlement from door dash where did you drop the food
if i'm doing i sue i'm suing i'm suing door dash and her
but i think i think that was her end i think she was gonna try to settle i think she was gonna try to settle with door dash like let me get you know what i mean or some lawsuit was coming and i'm not even sure it was a lawsuit or just the tick tock bag the tick tock bag nice it's the tick tock bag i think some people would do it
in this era people do stuff just for for the likes.
Yeah, I think DoorDash was in the right.
Yes,
I do.
Yes, I do.
I do.
They have to.
They got to let her go.
Letting her go, yes.
But not, the thing that they were wrong about was, because it was only after the public pressure came that they gave a reason.
Their policy is you have to give a,
you're allowed an appeal.
They didn't give her an appeal.
And then the second stage of it was they have to give a reason why, and they didn't.
So I wish they had just said from the beginning, here's why we're letting you go.
But letting her go, yes.
Now that I understand the video and all of that.
He put somebody personal adjustments.
right?
Especially since he wasn't, he didn't necessarily do anything.
Again, I think what he did was weird and creepy, and he could have been drunk.
I don't know what happened, but it's enough gray area there that you shouldn't run to the internet and show someone's
face and naked body, even blurred out.
You see how quick we're willing to go to say weird and creepy instead of saying that the nigga just fell asleep, right?
You see what I'm saying?
Like, what is that?
Yeah, I don't like that.
I think that's what
it's just strange to me, right?
Anything can happen.
You could be high, you could be drunk, you you could be, just had sex, you could, anything could happen in that moment where you fall asleep naked
on the couch.
Now, the door opened, the person, somebody could have left, his girl could have left and left the door open.
There's so many reasons.
Why do we automatically go to he was being weird and creepy?
I didn't say he was, I'm saying it was weird and creepy.
Meaning, okay, you just said.
Because I'm thinking from the other side, if as the young lady arrives at the door, say it's one of our kids, not that it has to be one of our kids, but I'm just saying just to humanize it, or personalize it rather.
If one of our daughters daughters showed up to the door and said, yeah, I showed up or the DoorDash, the door was wide open.
It was a dude right in front of me, butt-ass naked, sleep, and she said, that was weird to me, or I found that creepy, I wouldn't deny it.
I'm not putting anything in his head.
It could have been exactly what you described.
He was drunk.
He fell asleep on the couch.
His girl left, left the door.
All that could be true, but that doesn't mean that the person didn't experience it as weird.
It doesn't mean he did anything wrong.
I'm just saying how it felt from the other side.
Yeah, but also, this is why you have DoorDash ratings, Uber ratings, comment sections.
This is why those apps will kick you off if multiple people report you.
Like, if this is his first time, like, and there's no record of him, like, being a repeat offender, like, I'm just with giving people the benefit of the doubt of he fell asleep in his house.
Me too.
Didn't close the door all the way.
The wind blew it.
That happened to me a bunch of times.
Not the naked part, but your door, you're thinking it's closed, and the wind
fly it open, blow it open.
So
I just hate how America is so quick to call niggas pedophiles and grapists and sexual abusers and sexual.
Some people were just negligent.
Yeah.
I think in this case.
And calling the sexual assault was, it wasn't sexual assault.
And that was her.
But I think in this case, most people jumped on her ass.
People peep.
Everybody knows the TikTok hustle.
People peep when she was saying monetization.
She made a video like day two complaining that TikTok kept striking the videos that wasn't a minute.
You can't get paid unless they're 59 seconds to a minute.
So the fact that you've been thinking about getting paid while you're on this, this is wrong.
What happened to me?
I lost my job.
Also, what I wanted to ask you, when you said, you think DoorDash is wrong because they didn't email me enough time.
I've never had a lot of jobs, I won't lie.
But these people that work for these apps, like, do they really expect the same treatment that you would get from like HR or a real job from a DoorDash's policy?
I understand it's the policy, but in real life, do they really email you from Uber and say you're canceled because Miss Shin said you should be able to do it?
We have stock reasons.
It's not like a person in the office doing it.
It's like they do.
So you can sue just like a regular job.
You could do everything just like a regular job.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Uber is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate.
So I'm sure they have policies and procedures that are set up probably more than most corporate structures.
Yeah.
I'm probably that old that it just don't feel real
on the phone.
I'm not insurances and all that stuff.
If your daughter, not nothing like that, said you some shit like that, I think you would drive over there and see that nigga.
I know you would.
So it's like, I don't know.
And that's the thing.
Y'all are men.
No disrespect to nobody.
I'm sure some of y'all have fell asleep, draws down, got fucked, beat off, right?
The two or three times that's happened to me, it shocked me.
Even with my nigga, like, what the fuck he doing?
Just to see him with his pins down, his drawers down to his knees, vulnerable like that with his dick out.
I know my kid, my kid's 15, my daughter.
If she was delivering something at 18, three years from now, she wouldn't even go up to that door.
She let that shit on the bottom step.
She probably would have gotten in trouble because she wouldn't have walked it up there because that would have freaked her out.
So, I don't know what's the point about you confused about why a grown dick is jarring to somebody.
You know what I mean?
Some girls, I mean, the girl looks like she'd be like 2021.
Everybody ain't fucking at 2021.
That shit's scary.
And on top of it, again, as a woman, I made, I don't know if that's the reason why people talk about people calling people pedophiles or rapists or whatever, but me, my time as a woman, people always trying to take one of my pocketbooks, the one with the money in it, or the one with the clitoris in it.
Like, that's my experience as a woman, period.
That's what it feels like.
Motherfucker always trying to take something from you.
Okay, that's the end
of you.
This bitch, boy, she make a point after point after point.
God, she double it up.
Double up, double up.
Nine of us on the show.
She's going off.
When I'm quiet, they
You don't love me and you be irk and I be seeing it and I don't care and I'm not gonna stop.
I'll be like, oh, you hear me?
I be trying to talk about it.
I be trying to talk about this fucking C-Mike shit.
I'm trying.
Come on, look at that.
I'm used to me by myself.
Come on, Mom.
You niggas used to this dog, David Ruffin shit.
I am David Ruffin.
I'm working on it.
I didn't even know what a fucking A-Mike was.
I had to learn that.
These niggas ain't teach me that.
Well, it's me.
I'm C-Mike, right?
Or D.
That's all you gotta know.
It's the simplest thing.
Up here,
it's me.
But there's no such thing as a B-mike, correct?
There is.
No, that's not true.
So everybody has a...
Is it A-mike?
It's a B-mike.
It's a C-mic, a D-mic.
So how do you know?
Like, how do you figure that out?
Oh, listen.
You bring all the dogs to the nearest dog park.
See who survives.
Wizard letter of mine.
I'm talking shit.
Mona, can you please don't do that?
You try to open up different medicals.
I want to know.
You are an A-Mike.
I don't have a problem being quiet right here.
You an A minus, Mike.
Yeah.
You an A minus, Mike.
No, that's not going to work.
Or B plus.
I'll take a C.
That's it.
Or a horse C.
Which letter is you, nigga?
I don't know.
Well, that's the thing.
He might be.
Flip made a good point.
Everybody said, good job, Flip.
That's a good one.
The whole room's a good one.
I like that one.
The whole motherfucking room set up, boy.
Now, don't touch me.
I like you.
You want the old flip to come come out i can't see the board you want the old flip
from these two fools
i mean if you want to keep on carrying anybody else see the uh perfect neighbor i could not watch this this is a dark turn so uh
what is that for those of us who don't know the story of a gk owens the woman who was murdered by her neighbor through the door We talked about it on this podcast a couple years ago because her son left the tablet over there.
The neighbor was beefing with all the kids.
They live in a neighborhood where there's a bunch of kids playing in the the yard.
The woman's renting the apartment.
She's calling the cops every two minutes about kids playing in the yard.
Eventually, the mom goes over to knock on the door, and the woman shoots her through the door.
Rest in peace to A.J.
Owens.
Oh, I remember that.
Rest in peace.
You're talking about it.
It wasn't.
I remember that.
They made a documentary.
It's on Netflix.
It's entirely, the story is told entirely through
webcams from the police officers, body cams, from ring cameras.
It's the saddest shit in the entire world, obviously.
Again, rest in peace.
It was a tough watch.
I didn't finish it.
Yeah.
I couldn't start it.
I tried to watch my wife and say, no, I'm going to cry through this entire thing.
Because as soon as you cut it on, they get right to the nature of what's going on.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
And
you could tell that
the whole town has the word.
The whole block has the word on this lady.
Yeah.
The police have the word on this lady.
And you could just see what type of time this lady is on from minute one.
Yeah.
From minute one.
Yeah, for minute one of
show, Rem and I were both like, this is just going to piss us off while we watch this.
But it was, it's really, really, really good.
The way they executed that with no dialogue, no talking head, no narrator god voice, just strictly the facts of what happened from fucking webcams and
body cam footage.
I hate y'all niggas on the block
that are like that with the kids of the block.
Word.
Like,
I have a little bit of experience with that.
Me too.
With people just being dicks.
Yeah, fucking kids, bro.
They ain't hurting nothing.
Right.
Me too.
And I get your rights or your rights, right?
But they're kids.
They're kids.
That neighbor beef shit, like, live on the same block beef where we get to fighting about how high the fence should be, where the fence is located.
What's my property?
What's your property?
Your dog shitting over here.
That neighbor beef.
Always at the bottom of the bus.
Do y'all think that there should be a public registry of nuts neighbors?
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yes.
What's that T-App?
It should be one for neighbors.
Yeah.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, like the neighbor version of the T-App, right?
Because people need to know.
And a lot of times when you move into a neighborhood, you don't know what you're getting.
And
that's a really tough situation.
You could have the income.
You could have
everything you have to have required for the apartment, but they don't know that you've been through 10 different complexes because you just start problems everywhere you go.
Exactly.
The crazy shit, this woman was a tenant.
She was renting
the place, and the landlord himself was like, No, we let the kids play.
Play.
Yeah.
At one point, somebody in the documentary said something like, Well, she was supposed to move in February.
I don't know why she moved because that would have been the best move.
She's 50 plus.
She's single.
I'm sure it's loud as shit with them playing football in an empty lot next to your house.
I'm sure that's super annoying.
But in my opinion, after watching, I already knew the story.
I watched it close when it happened.
Same.
I've just grown up in the city.
That's what happened.
Moms fight each other.
The kids beef.
And then the moms come outside.
Like, that's the thing.
You're supposed to fight fight at the worst argued police, but they kill somebody.
In my opinion, she wanted to kill a kid.
She just settled for the mom because the mom knocked on the door, but she wanted to take a kid.
I was just glad that she actually went to jail.
That's the only part I didn't think.
Me too, yo.
I was worried.
I was like, damn, I hope she better not get away with this shit.
And then she got 25 for manslaughter instead of murder.
Yeah, and that never happens to old white people.
But I think that's the best part about the documentary that everything people hate about documentaries, it didn't have.
Yeah,
it just was what happened.
That was lit.
That was decent how they did that.
It's absolutely incredible.
It's worth watching.
It is a hard watch, but I trust it.
I think it's important.
Trigger warning for sure.
No pun intended.
I'm going to finish it.
It's really, really good.
Like, again, being able to tell the whole story just from webcam is fucking crazy.
Did you guys know that?
Like, I know people that used to live next to people that were launching.
Three times at least.
Oh, Balcron, go ahead.
Oh, no, she said, cry.
Cry three times.
Yeah, at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end.
Yeah.
Yeah, I made it all the way through, but them boys aside with the boys.
Like, I know people that used to live next to people that would mow their lawn with a weapon.
What do you mean?
Oh,
just like the person that lives next to you is coming outside mowing the lawn with a weapon.
That's crazy.
That would really upset me.
Wow.
And it's off.
Yes.
It's off.
And it's off.
And how do you deal with that if you're the neighbor, right?
Because you don't want to knock on the door over there because now it's, you open up the
escalation.
I got a house and the dude that it's out of state, the dude that cuts the grass.
The neighbor whipped out on him.
Literally whipped out on him.
But why?
Just, you know, older people be stuck in their ways.
He like, yo, you did something to the gate like some stupid shit for you to pull a gun out on somebody it ain't egregious right the dude whooped out on him he called me like yo your neighbor just pulled the gun out on me yo wow like what so you know some people be stuck in their ways and that's one of the worst places to have beef like with your neighbor yeah you got to come home yeah your kids is leaving out of there going to school your fucking visitors family and friends like That's just scary all around the board.
I am going to go back and finish watching.
Niggas do stupid shit.
Like, if you having a party, you having a cookout,
nigga, come park their car right on the street.
You got a driveway, my nigga.
Nope, they parked their car on the street.
We literally moved this when I was a kid because of beef with neighbors.
We were getting, not me, but my parents were getting fights, and brothers were getting in fights, like over dumb shit.
And it got to the point where it was escalating.
People started putting, you know, the guns, all that shit.
And it don't get better.
That's the thing.
It don't get better.
And there's no time for it to get better.
Especially if you ain't winning.
You got to leave.
Y'all did the right thing, yo.
Get out of there, yo.
That's my favorite.
Get out of there.
Fresh prints.
Yeah, don't stick around, yo.
Get out.
You did the right thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not worth it.
What?
It's not worth it.
What you laughing at?
Yeah, go ahead.
Another documentary that came out, or docu series that came out this week was Starting Five
on Netflix, you know, they do every year with the NBA players.
And one of the big pieces of information that came out was the stuff on James Harden.
Because James Harden is notoriously quiet, doesn't share a lot of his personal life.
And
I think it was episode two, he comes out, his son comes out, and he shows that he has a kid.
People didn't even know he had a kid.
And James Harden has a kid, and he's not like a newborn.
The kids walk in and talk.
I forget how old he is.
He might be like five or something, five or six.
Yeah, and he and his current girlfriend are pregnant with a new baby.
Oh, good for them.
Yeah, shout out to them.
Congrats.
And he talks about what it meant to grow up with...
out a good relationship to his father and how that makes him want to be a very present father.
And, you know, the season's interesting because, you know, SGA, there's all all kinds of cool stuff if you're into basketball and the personalities.
But I thought the stuff with James Harden was the best stuff because we don't know much about him and because he gives such insight into being a father.
So I just, if y'all didn't check it out, it's worth checking out.
The season's worth checking out.
I do want to mention briefly, too, if you are into horror, not horror, murder docs, like we are murder reenactment shows, but we're disappointed in the Ed Gein story.
I didn't even start it because everyone said it was so fucking gruesome and terrible and inaccurate and all this shit.
There is a John Wayne Gacy
bioptic, whatever series on Peacock.
It's called Devil in Disguise.
There's two.
One's a dock, one's like a reenactment.
It's really, really good.
It's telling the story of the victims more so.
It's telling the story of what happened in the John Wayne Gacy story,
but through the lens, really more of like the police officers and what they were going through.
And it would tell the stories of the victims,
but stop short of when they meet John Wayne Gacy, at least most of the time.
So it was no gruesome shit.
It's not showing this is how he did it.
It's not the scary, scary,
showing him in the crib doing all the horrible shit that he did is just humanizing the victims in a really interesting way.
It's definitely worth checking out.
That's the clown, right?
He was a clown.
He was a contractor.
I think he's the most prolific murderer.
Don't y'all feel like once you watch like, once I watch like three drones about the same niggas, like I can't, and it's...
I can't consume any more information about this person,
but except for
the last guy that had a show.
What's his name?
Before the Ed Gracie, the big one everybody liked.
Domino.
Oh.
Domino Darmo.
Yeah, that was done really, really, really well.
And that's a reenactment.
But don't you feel like after you watch one documentary about a killer?
No, it depends on the story.
He depends on the story.
I haven't seen that many about John Gacy, and I've never seen any of these cover in this manner where it's about the victims.
Right.
That's a nice story.
Never in my entire life.
Most of them romanticize the killer.
Correct.
On Hulu,
again, while we're on the topic, on Hulu, they're doing the Murdoch story, the prominent family of lawyers from South Carolina.
And I've seen that story 10 billion times, but it's such an interesting story.
I did watch this.
However they do it, you're going to watch it.
And I'm, you know, I'm not.
It's a new one.
This is a mini-series they're like reenacting, so it's not about the real shit.
It's inspired by
and they're telling the story.
So episode one is kind of slow because they're giving you the background of the family, but
watching it, I just forgot how sick the story was.
You got the housekeeper died, the son died, everybody died.
Everybody died.
But episode one, you kind of see what's happening here.
Like how Pops is, yo, trying to get everybody on the same page.
I'm already in protect mode and making sure, like, you could tell this is one of them.
Yeah, they laid the groundwork.
Yeah, they laid the groundwork.
Yo, yo, listen, though.
They wasn't there.
If you say this, y'all, somebody going to jail, shut up.
He trying to fight through in the emergency room to talk to everybody and get the story straight.
Don't talk to the cops.
You can see the cover-ups already.
Also, in our Watchables segment, I mentioned it last spot.
I'll say it again.
The Last Frontier.
Really good.
This should be only three episodes out now.
The Last Frontier is on
Apple.
Sci-Fi?
No, no.
No.
Prison Break.
Oh, okay.
Suspense.
Okay.
Suspense.
It's pretty good.
It's good.
Check it out if you have some time.
What else?
You didn't see the task finale, right?
No.
All right, so we won't.
Yeah, we'll wait.
Yeah, we'll wait.
No.
We actually binged it because all y'all have been talking, we haven't started an episode.
So we literally watched all the episodes and then caught the finale Sunday when it aired.
Really good show.
Yeah.
Good for the show.
Put that video game down.
Come get in this room, boy.
This room and watch this show with me I've never seen before.
What game you was playing?
I was playing Resident Evil.
Yeah, no.
Yeah.
No.
That was after.
All right.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Let's see.
I can't read.
I can't see.
Talk to me.
Tyler.
Tyler, the creator.
Oh, Tyler, we should have got to a little sooner, but fuck it.
Here we are now.
Tyler, the creator, was just as saddened by the passing of D'Angelo as we all were.
And he went on his Instagram page to pay homage and give his tribute.
And a lot of his white fan base
just had not-so-kind things to say in the comments.
So because people were angry at that,
they dug up all of Tyler the Creator's old tweets.
I'm talking about like from 09, 2010, 2011.
And they're trying to cancel him now.
Yeah.
I mean, I've read some of the tweets.
They're not the greatest of tweets.
They're horrible tweets.
They're horrible.
A lot of them.
Why?
Who cares?
Yeah, who cares?
First of all, Tyler was a teenager at that time.
I don't know.
That has to count for something.
It definitely should.
I mean, just the nature of Twitter at that time.
I don't know.
It's never going to...
We've said these same conversations a million times up here about everybody in the world.
If you were going to get them, it's too late is all I'm saying.
That part's true.
Like, I'm not saying that y'all don't make valid points, but you're not going to get him now.
He sells out too many shows.
He's worth too much.
He makes too much.
It's over, dog.
Save your tears.
Well, I would say I get so surprised that them niggas don't know D'Angelo.
Like, I think you don't know that your fan base, when he did the album, when he did the masks, and all them white kids came with those fucking masks, and it freaked them out probably.
I mean, it's like, you know, that your fan base isn't,
they little white boys.
Like, they was comfortable wearing blackface to a show that's the type of niggas you built around yourself he's been a star too long not to know yeah but then he changed at some point he did but the fan base is the fan you know your fan base i know the bitches that with me type of bitches they are
yeah but that's yeah yeah but you know what to say yeah but that's but that's not fair that that's not fair because while yes you do
You could go do 10 more gigs and pick up fans at each stop along the way.
And then you wouldn't know your entire fan base of the film.
All we know is that Tyler don't come from the same place we come from.
He was doing all of that white, white boy, white people shit.
And at some point, for him, it changed.
I'm not talking about the fan base, but for him.
So I don't, like you say, he was acting surprised.
I don't think it's so much surprise, right?
Like, Lil Waits, racist white boys are racist white boys.
But the timing of it just was really bad.
And anytime people go dig up your old tweets, you don't feel like dealing with that.
You just don't.
I mean, some of these are from, I'm not going to read them out loud, but some of these are from 2011.
That's 14 years ago.
I mean, Tyler's 34.
You said where he's from.
Where is he from?
Like, streetwise.
Would he from the burbs?
He from Cali.
Not in the same way.
He's from Cali.
Oh, he's from California?
The Burbs.
He's super talented.
I found out about him late.
I was late, but that's one of the first things I noticed that his fanbase don't look like us.
I mean, and that don't even necessarily mean anything, but they just seem like the kind of mean.
I think he attracted what he was, even though he grew up.
They're white, so they're not going to grow up and have a different feeling about blacks.
He just grew up and knew you shouldn't play like that.
He knew it was wrong then.
You know what I mean?
That's how I looked at it.
But yeah, I looked at it with him like growth like he just grew up he a man now he's i don't want tyler cancel no hell no
it ain't gonna happen and unfortunately because i'm with you you look at it as growth yeah when people got the target on you you're not allowed to grow true we don't want you to grow now it's even if you've grown you could you could do a complete 180 from everything you used to be don't matter if the target is on you we're gonna drag you right back here and now you are this person i think so you should have never been this person and i agree with that i do think there's some ownership that has to be taken like i hear you talk about you know i used to be a troll i used to you talk about growing you talk about i was here and now i'm here i just think if you're a public figure depending on when you do it again if i'm 14 15 i'm not holding people accountable for that some of the later tweets tyler was like 24.
that's a little different you know what i mean and i think he should just say i did this i don't think this or i did this and i do think this you know i i think some accountability is good but i but people have to be able to grow like you can't and we all do dumb we all write dumb i don't like when people just try to act like it never happened.
The person themselves.
Right.
Like, yes, anytime I speak on this, when I took accountability for things, it wasn't a gotcha moment.
It wasn't like, oh, we got them.
Now address it.
Right.
I did it off personal conversations with people and did it that way myself.
So that's why I say mine is much more genuine.
You don't.
But even with that, there's people that don't got to accept it.
And they still going to hold you to who you used to be.
That just comes with it.
Yeah.
So I don't like when, like, I think Tyler should have been said something about some of that.
But you choose not to, cool, your brand, whatever the case may be.
Some people may look at it as if I speak on it, I'm shedding light to it.
And I personally want to delete these old tweets.
That's the first thing I thought.
I don't get why people don't just get rid of that shit.
Like, as soon as I thought I made it, I delete old tweets, and I wasn't shit.
Hey, 15,000 followers, I was deleting.
Let me get this shit out of here.
I'm serious.
Like, is that stuff?
But the word, real quick.
Deletes don't affect screenshots.
True, but you know, I mean, you know.
I got shit that's deleted, and they got their pictures.
I used to tell them every time they feel like it.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, yes.
Because everybody don't have the screenshot.
Yeah.
Depending on what type of thing.
A lot of his shit has been screenshotted.
Let me ask y'all this.
If Tyler the creator at some point in his career did some type of comedic movie or something like that, it wouldn't be surprising.
Like, comedy has always been a part of his brand.
So does that fit in at all that he jokes around a lot?
He plays a lot?
Like, because it's one thing where you see an eye in somebody's life and they say nasty things about their race or whatever, right?
It's another thing when you playing, you know, when you doing it in a comedic way.
Because some people don't know certain shit ain't funny.
They just, they won't crack it.
You know?
Some of his shit, I mean, a lot of his shit did have a comedic undertone to it.
Yeah.
It still was offensive.
That's the first thing that caught my eye about him.
Like his content, though.
Like his R.
Kelly tweet was like, okay, that's too far for me.
What was the R.
Kelly tweet?
I mean, I got the sense we don't want to read them and put more on it, but people can go find it.
But I'm just saying some of it, even if you're joking, it's probably a little too far, especially when you start to be like not 19 or 20 but like 24 25 which again some of the tweets he was older um but comedy sometimes is also used as a shield to just be foul you know what i mean so good point
got it okay and then tyler let's go viral for his conversation with his friends for telling him he gay last year oh you're talking about from uh with uh
what's what's my man named the carmicha
carmichael
and that's probably why he didn't say that he just gives that he don't give a fuck like i don't think he cares i agree with ice i don't think he cares and i'm with that thumb tyler go ahead gerard Carmichael.
Then it was the time where he was at the Jaden Smith show, or Jaden Smith was at his show when they were playing around like that or whatever.
It ain't my business who anybody fucks, so I don't care.
And I don't give a fuck.
Then it's that Funk Flex freestyle, which to me is one of the funniest freestyles.
It is one of the funniest freestyles ever up there, but
I wouldn't have done it.
It's a classic.
I wouldn't have done it.
Especially the way Flex responds.
Flex may not agree.
Oh, shit.
I won't ask him.
I won't ask him either.
I know absolutely nothing about this heist.
I saw it mentioned briefly on the news.
I got informed by my wife as I was going to bed last night that she said that a bunch of girls robbed the Louvre.
I don't know if that's true or not.
I don't know if they're women or not.
She said women did it?
That's what she said.
But she's getting her information from TikTok.
It may just all be fan fiction.
52 oceans 15.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I'm just happy it happened.
That's all I'm going to say.
Facts.
Four suspects stole nine pieces of France's crown jewels from the Louvre.
Now, as y'all know, the Louvre, or for those who don't know, the Louvre is the most visited museum in the world.
And the French government is very upset right now because they say they didn't just rob the museum, they robbed France.
And I'm like, fuck France.
Y'all robbed.
France is robbed.
Y'all get the shit out of it.
Everything in there ain't y'all's.
Nigga.
Facts.
Niggas took that shit back, nigga.
Historically, it's probably been the biggest robber in the country.
Fuck are you talking about?
Right.
It's like with Omar getting killed on the wire.
You just got to charge it to the game.
Nah, it's different.
No, hold on.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
France ain't Omar now.
Yeah, word.
They not.
No, I'm not saying France is Omar.
You know what?
Omar had a code.
Man, got to have a code.
Omar had a code.
I'm just saying you live by the gun, you die by the gun.
You're going to rob people, you're going to get robbed.
France has spent the last 400 years robbing everybody, but especially Africa, the Middle East, Latin America.
Fuck them.
No disrespect to Omar.
You're right.
Omar is a million times better than France.
I stand on that.
You're right.
And these women are still at large?
Apparently, yes.
The suspects, again, I don't know that.
I don't know for facts that they're women.
This is TikTok.
I mean,
I like it better with women.
I think I do too.
I wouldn't.
Apparently, some of the goods got damaged.
They dropped a crown running away somewhere.
So that, yeah, it falls in.
That was what they were doing.
And women professionals.
The investigators say that they're puzzled why the culprits left behind the colossal 140-carat Regent Diamond, which has been valued at $100.
I'm sorry, at $60 million.
Oh, regarding that.
So they took some interesting things.
They took necklaces, tiaras,
and brooches after smashing the glass.
Oh, they just setting up a photo shoot.
No, dog.
You take that big shit, they're going to be on your ass forever.
Because how you going to get it off?
It might be hard to fence.
Yeah, where do you fence this hard money?
Where you fence any of this shit, though?
Where do you fence Francis Crowder?
Nigga,
I'm busted down.
You talking about this.
Right by shit.
You think Brian wave earrings or something?
Where do you get a load of me, nigga?
Right by Shake Stadium, nigga.
Yo, you crazy.
I'm not saying women couldn't have pulled this off on some set-it-off shit, but it says the thieves used a Mont Muebles, which is a truck mounted with a basket lift that's commonly used to hoist furniture into Paris's inaccessible apartment block.
Oh, I'm thinking some James Bond shit.
These niggas just did some gangsta shit.
That might have been niggas.
They did the opposite.
They did some gangster shit.
Yeah,
they did the shit that the Louvre would never expect, that you just run up to there, smash the shit, and grab it.
You got a fucking truck?
Oh, that's kind of cool.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know yo.
I think it's it's an inside job.
You been to the Louvre before?
No.
Okay, you're going stunting on us again.
Have you been?
I'm on some new shit.
I'm checking my deuces.
I don't see how that would be possible.
There's been mad shit stolen at the Louvre.
They stole the Mona Lisa at what point I thought.
On some smash and grab, though.
My nigga, like, yo, that shit is.
Yeah, they stole the Mona Lisa about a century ago.
Yeah, and that's it.
They could have gotten it again.
This time, for what I heard, it was right down the same hall.
Shit, they fucked up.
But again, when you fucking stop the Mona Lisa in my living room, I'm about to say, I ain't gonna hold you.
I stole the Mona Lisa.
That shit in the crib.
You can do TikTok?
That shit is in the crib.
Yo, yo, yo, get my too many snitches in the world.
Oh, no, burr.
That's crazy.
But
good luck to those.
Shout out to them.
Whoever stole from the loofah, shout out to you.
Yeah, y'all held that down.
Salute at all.
Shout out to the thieves that stole from the loose.
Yes, the thieves.
Sometimes you gotta steal from the thieves.
Yeah.
Robin Hood shit.
I totally understand.
I'm picking up what you're putting in there.
Okay.
There you have it.
There you have it.
There it is.
Expert analysis here with JVP.
There you have it.
Take that, Angela.
Joe, random question.
I love it.
Are we doing Podsgiving this year?
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
Okay.
What's Podsgiving?
For me, it's like a unicorn.
It's an imaginary thing where we have food and joy up here, and he invites all of us, and we do it too.
Oh, because you've never had one.
No.
Yeah, he did.
Let's do it last year.
Let's do it, Mark.
Because I was going to do Friendsgiving at my house, but if y'all do Podsgiving, I'm not doing it.
You know what I mean?
I was trying to decide.
Wait, Pazgiving is not friends giving.
They're two different things.
I know, but I'm still doing it.
So you should still do a friends giving.
You can do mad givings.
Yeah.
We'll come to your.
And I will come.
I've never been at home.
Yeah.
Okay.
Then we'll do it.
Let's do it.
I'll do pods giving.
You know, we could do our spades then, too.
That's the date.
Oh, maybe.
I mean, my dad might be busy with his other kids.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
All right.
Fair enough.
I'm not totally off pause giving, though.
Pausegiving might happen here.
Strike by the right chef.
Well,
my beautiful lady or, well,
Sade and Keno had a bright idea.
Oh, what was it?
Saying that maybe they would fucking cook.
Oh, potluck?
Potluck?
Oh, wow.
No, no, that they would do it.
Oh, they're doing dialogue?
Okay.
That they would cook.
Don't tell them to handle it.
Yeah,
handling that.
No, no, and we was going to get, I mean, I wasn't going to ask y'all for shit.
I'm joking, I would have brought something.
Something from my mom and something from over here and do like Pawsgiving by Community.
I'll stop by Boston Market.
I got you.
It's closed.
I like Boston Marketing.
Unfortunately, I like Boston.
Boston Market is not closed on Thanksgiving.
It is not.
No, it's not.
No.
I done spent a few Thanksgivings in Boston Market.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
No, Boston Market is closed in general, I thought, like done as a business.
It's not closed down.
Oh, I don't know.
Just to Philly.
Okay, Philly.
You got to move.
I ain't seen that.
You got to move.
I love Boston Market.
Sneaker stores.
Philly, Delaware area.
The Boston markets are closed.
Please get off my back about it.
I'm going through enough.
I love Boston Market, bro.
Girl, you better open up Zillow, girl.
Honestly, it's time.
Listen, you know what?
Bring that to your I don't say this business segment because they're close.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm applying this business.
Boston Market.
They close down the wall in my hood.
They're close.
They keep closing down.
Everywhere.
Even when I travel, I don't see them anymore.
They got a lot fewer.
They have 27 locations remaining across the entire U.S.
Wait, what?
That was as of early 2024.
Later in 2024, it was reported that only around 16 locations remaining.
Endangered species, bro.
Oh, yeah.
So, where I live at,
you still live in the hood.
Nigga, I'm telling you, Boston markets are done, bro.
They don't take all of the restaurants out of a state.
You know what I mean?
And it's small.
Like, they're going to leave one or two.
And it's like, I don't even remember people not eating it no more.
People always, you know, you get a little taste for it, you eat it.
Well, I didn't plan on doing our fix-it-business segment.
However, if I was in charge of Boston Market, I'm taking Boston off of it immediately.
Fast.
Just the market?
Yeah, there's so many people in America that hate Boston.
Yeah, Family Market.
It's Fort and New Jersey.
Yeah, exactly.
That's crazy.
Family Market or something based around Family Market, but Boston Market, I'm changing that immediately.
We need a rebrand.
Get some TikTok stars and some motherfucking elote.
Let's get this shit jumping to my house.
I'm going to get the black gorilla nigga to come in there and fucking
come in there.
Do all his gorilla shoot.
Get that shit together.
That's racist, but he really be doing that.
That's what he is doing.
Make the noise, though.
We gotta get Keith Lee.
We gotta get Keith Lee.
Man.
Keith Lee and Ronnie and the damn.
Does Keith Lee still eat food and testing?
I ain't seen Keith Lee in a minute now that you mentioned it.
I just watched him get a bathroom the size of this, so you don't have time for that.
He's bawling.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know if he's still doing it.
I love you, Keith.
Oh, shit.
Maybe they need to add some other food.
Because you remember, I remember when it was Boston chicken.
And then they changed it to Boston Market to sound more expensive, but it was still kind of just chicken.
It used to be called Boston Chicken.
No, that's chicken shack over there down y'all.
Yeah, because I don't remember.
I remember it was Boston Market.
Boston chicken.
No, you're too young to remember.
You were incarcerated when it happened.
It was costing me.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
When you came home, it was Boston Market, bro.
I'm telling you, look it up.
It was Boston Chicken.
Also, I mean, if I was in charge,
right after I changed, take the Boston off the title, I'm seasoning the chicken, a certain way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm seasoning that chicken.
Joe cooking.
They think that you just take that chicken, put it on the rotisserie shit, take it out, and now white people just about to flock.
Nah, white people.
It was known as chicken, right?
85 to 95.
85 to 95.
Yeah, which is what I used to get to it.
Damn, that's crazy.
They expanded the menu to include meatloaf, turkey, ham, and other comfort foods, and then it was Boston Market.
And then McDonald's bought them.
And I think they need a new cornbread recipe.
I think the cornbread was ass.
I think they bumped up the cornbread, bring TikTok stars in, add some kinky taco night, whatever popular berea.
Kinky Taco Night.
Take away kinky.
The taco night with low chain and berea on Wednesdays.
TikTok stars, they can get that shit back jumping.
It's too many people that because where else do you get that experience when you're getting like a home-cooked meal on a fast food vibe?
Yeah, you spend 10, 15 bucks and you get a kinky taco.
And now that Park said McDonald's bought them.
They sold them.
They sold them, yeah.
They bought them in 2000 and sold them in 07.
McDonald's.
Yes.
Left them.
And sold.
Oh, yeah.
They fucked.
It's over.
Yeah, man.
Some shit just need to die.
No.
Ian and I were at a Livingston Mall in New Jersey this weekend.
Also.
And again, it was like two stores open.
It was a Popeyes in there.
Food Court.
But just one store.
This is a mall that used to have 50, 60.
Popeyes over Roy Rogers.
Popeyes.
Rogers going out of there already.
You guys, we're not about to talk about Roy Rogers.
No, no, no.
What I'm talking about is, I'm saying, everybody was talking about how do we revive this mall.
And I'm like, just let them all die.
You know what I mean?
Maybe some businesses instead of fixing them we just need to let them up
I saw I saw somebody actually agree with that but not
a very good point They were saying convert them into like all-in-one senior locations you do senior housing That's what they try to do with the one in my hometown But the mall fucked up the economy in my hometown because it took all the
businesses away from the downtown and put it in a fucking small area that all that tax money went to them now instead of the city that was actually the city in the area.
Yeah, anyway.
Yeah, malls are obsolete.
Malls are kind of bad.
And you gotta let them let them die.
Some of these restaurants.
It's more than just retail now because you can't say malls are obsolete and then go to the American Dream.
I think.
Like, you need, it's now, it's expanded past just stores.
You have to have an experience.
Rides and shit.
You need rides.
You go to American Dream, you can go skiing.
You can go to the theme park, the water park,
and do your shopping.
And they're still not going to pay to surround and challenge that money they own.
They're not 100% open yet, though.
How many are in the country, too?
We got to get it.
And American Dream got a short-lived life.
Yes, they do.
I don't know what the fuck y'all think.
That shit ain't going to last.
No, I don't think so.
I think that it's going to last as long as it would anywhere else.
I think that you're right.
It's not going to last for so long.
All that shit phases out.
But I think the area is in is the best area it could have been in because it gives us the east coast feeling of Disney.
We don't have that.
That's the closer you're going to get to it.
I'm somebody that took my kid to every kind of nice place, you know, I tried to take them to all the cool places, and that was like the Max.
That's the top.
That's our Disney site.
Not just that, their proximity to New York makes them a tourist hub.
So now people does not, who don't never experience a roller coaster and in the mall i'm in new york okay cool let's hit the dream i know people that's coming up here from down south and it was like yo when i get up there yo can you run me past that american dream mall i heard i need to see that really yeah and it's directly across from
uh met life and and fanville because we literally only have two malls like that correct there's only two in the whole country um minneapolis
and that's mall as you know america and they're building one in miami same same company yeah okay yeah cool we got some sad news out the boston market
Keep your head up.
Long story short.
Boston chicken.
Yeah, Boston chicken, nigga.
Take it back to the old days.
Family market.
I want you to take that name off, though.
Take Boston off.
Family market.
We got some sad news.
Yeah, let me queue up outstanding.
We want to say rest in peace to Doug Martin, who plays for Doug Martin player.
Tampa Badge.
Fucks.
Mainly.
He played for somebody else.
He played, he did, but I can't remember.
That was the main.
Tampa primarily.
Yeah.
Honeybadge.
Doug Martin, who they're saying died in police custody.
Yeah, the details aren't out yet.
There's a story out.
It's just not many details in it.
But apparently there was a break-in at 3.15 a.m.
Cops responded.
That's where funny language comes in.
And then Doug Martin is
dead, and they transfer him to the nearest hospital where he's
pronounced dead.
Let me ask you, so at the break-in, it was his house or somebody else's house?
I do not know.
All it said was
the cops responded to a break-in.
The way the story read, it could have been like Doug Martin was breaking in, but I don't know.
So I didn't want to put that in the universe.
And let's say rest in peace to Anthony Jackson.
Anthony Claiborne Jackson, an American bassist who many described as one of the masters of the instrument.
That doesn't tell the story enough.
I'm taking this from a gentleman named Nathan East who says, forever one of the giants, his tone, touch, and spirit reshaped the language of the bass.
Every note a masterclass in depth, soul, and truth.
Half a century ago, a young Anthony Jackson, barely in his early 20s, was called to play on a session for the OJs on a song called For the Love of Money.
The bass chart simply said D minor.
What he created on the spot became one of the most iconic bass lines ever.
The one that made every bassist sit up and realize a new standard had been set.
Anthony's version of D minor redefined the instrument and raised the bar so high, we've been reaching for it ever since.
Take a listen to Shaka Khan's album album Naughty in 1980, but check his playing out on literally everything he recorded, all masterpieces.
Uh, one of my earliest inspirations: AJ became a dear friend, and I'll miss our two-hour phone catch-ups over the years.
Shout out to Nathan East, and again, rest in peace to Anthony Jackson and Doug Martin.
Uh, thoughts, prayers, and condolences to his family, their family, friends, and fans.
Amen.
Very sad.
Go.
And I will cue up outstanding.
How do you spell that again?
There you go.
Gotcha.
There we go.
Mike check, mic check, one, two, one, two.
Let me turn the bass up in this piece.
Here you look at sweet dark.
You gotta be big.
Wish that I could know.
Okay,
yeah, that's that's me.
You can't tell me nothing about that's that's me.
It's it's the gap being.
I love you.
You
light my mind.
You
blow my mind.
You look your body, nobody
says.
Real quick,
while you were talking, I was looking up to see if there's more information on this Doug Martin passing.
It says here, he died while in police custody.
The Oakland Police Department states they responded to a home break in Oakland, California, where officers attempted to detain him and a brief struggle occurred.
He became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital where he later died.
His family publicly acknowledged the death and requested privacy, noting that the cause of death is currently unconfirmed.
Martin had been battling mental health issues, according to a statement from his former agent and family, and he reportedly fled his home in a disoriented state before entering a neighbor's residence, prompting the police response.
And the officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave, and multiple investigations have been launched, including by Oakland Police Commission and Alameda County District Attorney's Office.
Yikes.
Yeah.
Damn.
That sounds like a big movie.
We just talked about that five seconds ago.
Yeah.
I'm going to wait for more details to be released
on this.
Again, rest in peace to Doug Martin.
That's horrible.
Awful.
Yeah, it is.
That's horrible.
All right.
I don't have anything else that needs our attention.
I'm straight.
I think we've done an amazing job.
We did it.
What say you guys?
Great.
We did it, man.
We did it.
I have a lot more to say, but I'll wrap it up here.
Got another.
What you got to say, boulder?
I'm being silenced up here.
You silence me.
Say that after a fucking nine-million word.
Shut up.
It ain't nothing better than a ten.
That's a slut for me.
The type of girl that I ready to be whipping for you touch.
She lived with my chains like a face.
Middle pops.
Hope y'all have enjoyed this podcast as much as we have enjoyed delivering it to you.
Keep us in your prayers.
Lord knows each and every one of us need to be there.
Hey,
till next time, we bid you a due farewell.
Adio, Cereba, Dirty, Osta La Vista, Arvoir, so long, goodbye.
Well, a simple head now to suffice your ears.
Living tongue kiss it, then pussy talk.
Remember, life is a series of moments and moments pass.
So let's make this one last as if it's all we have.
Last but certainly not least,
the baddies are insecure.
The stagnant women want to travel and the closed-minded women want you to teach them things.
Grab you a Tylenol, you might need it.
What y'all on this week?
What y'all on this week?
Working, baby.
Working.
Never now working.

All right, forget that.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
I'm in Detroit.
What you doing?
Thank you.
What I'm doing can't even be spoken about, man.
If you see me, just a simple head.
Nah, you know what time it is.
Hey, what I'm doing can't be spoken about on the the airwave.
I mean, if you know, you know, you heard?
