Speaker 1 inviting people is one thing. That's just like some courtesy.
We're being nice. Niggas came.

Speaker 1 I was very happy to see y'all. Very, very sincerely happy to see y'all, man.
I was already in Jersey, and I had a family event to go to. So I was like, oh, this is perfect.

Speaker 1 I'll go right to Mark's afterwards. Finished a little early at the event.

Speaker 1 So I'm like, if I time this out now, I'll get to Mark's at six. Which is when you're doing it.
Which is the time he said it starts. I don't want to do that.
Smart man.

Speaker 1 I asked Mark. I said, yo, I know you said six.
What time to show up? He was like, Niggas ain't going to really get there like seven, eight. I was like, say less.
I'm not coming before.

Speaker 1 But you didn't get there at seven or eight. I got there at eight.
No, you didn't. Yes, I did.
It might have been. I feel like I said seven, but I said at seven, eight.

Speaker 1 No, you stepped. Y'all stepped.
We didn't step. Y'all stepped.
It was like 8:45.

Speaker 1 It really was. No, it wasn't.
Anyway, no, I had no fuck with. No, we're talking about all this shit.
Because I said, yo, Ice makes an appearance outside. Y'all don't know outside ice.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ice come in on some, you know what I mean? Work ice show up at 10, 29, and 59 seconds.
But outside ice? Because work ice is by himself.

Speaker 1 Ah, that's a fact.

Speaker 1 Past that buck. That's what you're saying.
Shout out to Miss and Peace.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Miss Peace.

Speaker 1 So I hit the group chat early to Ice and Joe. Like, what time are y'all getting there? Because I don't want it to be me, Rem, and Dr.
Cornell West sitting in the back house

Speaker 1 drinking wine, talking about the politics of the day.

Speaker 1 But I got there like maybe 6:30, and it was a packed house, man, full of beautiful people. Everyone was very kind and nice.
The food was delicious. That was amazing.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is that the end of your first discussion? No.

Speaker 1 Actually, let me backtrack a little bit because I wanted to show up with something. So I went to one liquor store.
They didn't have shit. Went to another liquor store.
It was closed.

Speaker 1 Went to the third liquor store and it's a typical jersey, like hood liquor store. Yes.

Speaker 1 I was like, there's no way I can show up with a bottle of Hennessy at this party. I'm going to be the only white person.
This is going to look absolutely horrible.

Speaker 1 That was going to make you horrible. If I showed up.

Speaker 1 Why not?

Speaker 1 Nah, that was horrible.

Speaker 1 You could have tried to drink Hennessy. It would have been for me.

Speaker 1 It was Hennessy already at, though. That's funny.

Speaker 1 That's hilarious, though. Let the Hennessy be there already.
Yeah, he can't bring the Hennessy. Parks coming in with the Hennessy.
So what did you go with? I found some wine. He found some

Speaker 1 fine. I found some nice red wine.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Oh, and a Henney or no? No, no, no. Okay.
I banked on maybe there might be some there.

Speaker 1 There was. And there was.

Speaker 1 My plan was to stop at a liquor store because you say we had to bring none, but it said if you want to bring some wine and spirits, then you got to show up with a bottle or something.

Speaker 1 I think so. And Parks is good at that.
Like, he was raised right. Like, I'll forget.

Speaker 1 Me too. And feel like I love the person so much that they know that I forgot.
So I'll forget.

Speaker 1 And then when I put the address in, that shit was like,

Speaker 1 it was a little minute. You said he was like, yo, this shit farther.
This is further than I thought.

Speaker 1 And I knew Parks was there already. I went up in the cabinet and seen what I had up in there, man.

Speaker 1 I knew I had some fire in there. Gabe, Gabriel.
Which you did. That was my game plan.
Which you did.

Speaker 1 I'm going to bring some fire.

Speaker 1 I'm going to bring it up. It was open already.
No.

Speaker 1 You think so. You think so, right? I'm just asking.
No, no, no, no. That's what I did.
I went in the cabinet. I tried to, but I forgot.
So,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 I get to it. I get there.

Speaker 1 I'm ringing the bell. Ding-dong.

Speaker 1 Nice house, by the way. Beautiful house.
Beautiful home. I thought it was pretty funny that the basketball hoop was set to like

Speaker 1 5'5. Well, Mark went the show out there.
Because Mark is 5'3. So I was like, oh, this is.
It's perfect. It's perfect.
It's perfect.

Speaker 1 I'm ringing the bell, ding-dong, ringing the bell, ding-dong. I hear people having a good time in there, but nobody's answering the door.
Finally, somebody else,

Speaker 1 I forgot her name, but she was so sweet. She came behind and was like, the door is probably open.
I was like, I've never been here.

Speaker 1 I'm not just walking in. Somebody shit.
You do it. You do it.
All right, so she walked in. We walked in.
And boy, when I tell y'all,

Speaker 1 where do I start here? You can just feel the education. Y'all, that's all I felt.
That's all I felt when I walked in.

Speaker 1 This was the first time I ever went to a function, and all of the people in a packed house, nobody looked up to say hi or introduce themselves.

Speaker 1 Everybody was in the middle of a deep, deep, philosophical Albert Einstein.

Speaker 1 Fix my shit. There we go.
Albert Einstein type of talk. They didn't care who was coming in.
They was trying to figure out the future of gravity and shit

Speaker 1 for real. No, he's not, yo, he's he's dead ass.
Like, the exact same thing happened to us on the walk-in, ringing the bell, ringing the bell, but nobody walked up.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at shorty, like, yo, damn, the door might be open, but I ain't doing that out here. It's loud in there, you can hear the music, but it was the music.
That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 I'm like, yeah, all right, I just turned the knot. All right, it's open.
Come on, all

Speaker 1 Mark's friends and family,

Speaker 1 and all Mark's wife's friends, and everybody that was there

Speaker 1 look Ph.D. down.
Oh, for sure.

Speaker 1 We're going to get into this.

Speaker 1 Ph.D.

Speaker 1 down, I tell you. I've never rushed to find Parks so fast.

Speaker 1 I rushed in there and was like, where is Parks and Rim?

Speaker 1 We did the same shit. I walk in, I look to the right.
And what you got, like a study or something over there? Yeah,

Speaker 1 his house is a study. His two dudes over there look like they breaking down the theory of relativity.
Relativity and shit. I'm like, oh, they were.
I'm like, yo, we, first thing, where is Parks?

Speaker 1 I don't know where. I'm about to text y'all.
Where are you? And you just happen to walk by. What I say to you, where y'all at?

Speaker 1 Save us. So we find Parks.
Parks at the table with the smart people.

Speaker 1 So now, so we walk over there. We made friends.
But it's no cheers if you don't have a PhD.

Speaker 1 I'm dead ass. If you don't have your diploma on you like a passport, some type of college.

Speaker 1 You gotta to prove it. Show it that you.

Speaker 1 You can't sit down. Pull an apple up or something.
So finally, one of the more cool niggas was like, Yo,

Speaker 1 y'all want me to get up? I'll sit down. It's like, all right, cool.
We're going to go get some food. Food was amazing.
It really was. All right.
Chef's kissed to the food laid out all over the island.

Speaker 1 Anything you wanted to have. Deviled.
Eggs was great. Everything in there.
Everything was good. Shout out to It's All Love.
The Jersey People, Tiffany Mac,

Speaker 1 they supplied the food, and they were dope.

Speaker 1 I got my plate. Well, my girl made my plate.

Speaker 1 She mad at me because the whole time, well, she always mad at me. But before we get there, she like, yo, what do I wear?

Speaker 1 And I'm like, yo, it's friends giving. Like,

Speaker 1 who cares what you wear? And she get there and like, oh, my God. I feel like they're going to blame you no matter what.
Oh, my God. I feel so out of place.
Girl, go make the fucking plate.

Speaker 1 Every girl's dressed the same. Everyone was tripping.
Yeah, I don't know. She was dripping.
Yeah, I think she was tripping, too. No, no, no, no girls don't do that.

Speaker 1 The girl's gonna trip. She go make the plate.
She come back. So now I'm eating at the table, but at the seat where homie gave me a seat, but now I can look around also.

Speaker 1 I didn't look around before.

Speaker 1 But I wanted to give you the tour back because we couldn't.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, but I took a tour myself. Oh, yeah.
Perkins is walking around. I'm saying, I don't appreciate that.

Speaker 1 Gotta peek around, see what your man's up to.

Speaker 1 I'm not hooking. Oh, please, please.
I'm not holding. I wish you would have cared.

Speaker 1 I wish you would have gotten it. I would love to see you.
He was asking for you. So when I started looking around-ish,

Speaker 1 I noticed the bookshelf in the living room. There's no TV.
No TV. Yeah, no.
Ain't no TV. That's a dumb box.
Idiot box.

Speaker 1 In Mark House, the TV is an idiot box. That's a fact.
It's just a big bookshelf, right? I start looking on the walls and keeping the colors on the walls. Oh, no.
Very nice.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, like the finest Muslim painters came over here and red, great, green. It was tribal shit

Speaker 1 on the wall. The curtains had African symbolism on it.
I was like, oh, shit, we made it back. I said, oh, what the hell?

Speaker 1 What's that? We're home.

Speaker 1 Mark is Golly. Yo, we home.
Mark is Garby.

Speaker 1 I understand to be black.

Speaker 1 Yo, Mark whole house. Did y'all look at the bookshelves? Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1 I felt like I was in an episode of like African Fresh Prince. You know how when Will brought his Philly friends, they came over to see how he was living?

Speaker 1 I felt like Mark had brought his ghetto friends in. We're going to get to that part, bro.
We're going to get to that. All right, so cool.
So the whole house, African black down.

Speaker 1 This is very black.

Speaker 1 So then I looked at the design and I'm sitting next to Parks.

Speaker 1 Looking comfortable, too, next to Parks Byron.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, oh, shit.

Speaker 1 You ain't black. Parks might be the second white person that stepped through this house.

Speaker 1 I don't know how many white people have ever came. I don't know how

Speaker 1 to do it.

Speaker 1 Don't look like a white friend. It's a free house.
He ain't in a realtor. He don't look at it.
No. Like a white-friendly house? It didn't look like that.
It was cool.

Speaker 1 I didn't even notice until I noticed. I noticed on the walk-in.
Yeah. This is a black-ass house.

Speaker 1 That's one of the blackest house. That's what we were going for.

Speaker 1 Hey, black, black, black. No, that's one of the blackest houses I've ever seen.
I ain't gonna hold you, but it's on brand.

Speaker 1 It totally makes sense. It's beautiful.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
So I made the mistake

Speaker 1 of asking,

Speaker 1 Hey, do you have a deck of cards? Oh, man. Right off the rips, kind of too.
I'm not going to lie. You got right to spades.
You got right to it. I didn't know what else to do.
It wasn't a television.

Speaker 1 That's true. The TV was right behind you, by the way, in that other room.

Speaker 1 It wasn't on. The room where I wasn't allowed in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You weren't allowed to do it.
That was the secret meeting. You're talking about the VIP black.
Oh, that's what the people.

Speaker 1 That's what I pushed your head to that. I was like, I'm not welcome.
You can't walk in. I'm not welcome.
I was about to walk in here. The whole room looked at me like, boy, you better not walk in.

Speaker 1 You ain't got no diploma on you.

Speaker 1 Drop out of that.

Speaker 1 Let me see your papers, nigga. Yeah, I didn't.
Yeah, no, no, no, no. I wasn't walking in that room.
But anyway,

Speaker 1 I mean, you can jump in here if you want. Nope.
I got nothing. Okay, so Joe throws down the gauntlet.
I was not expecting this. He said, you know, what up with a game of spades?

Speaker 1 Now, I was already looking to move away to the next room to kind of not have them heavy conversations.

Speaker 1 So, heavy conversations. Oh, everybody was sure.
They weren't really having heavy conversations. It just looked like it.

Speaker 1 It definitely looked like it. The niggas just talking.
Some of them people were like, just, yeah, they weren't even at, whatever.

Speaker 1 so, Joe challenged me to a game of spades.

Speaker 1 So, I ain't never looking away from a challenge. He said, I don't want to pull you away from

Speaker 1 your people. I know you're hosting.

Speaker 1 I did say that to him. I gave him an out.
Yeah. I gave an out.
Yo, you hosting.

Speaker 1 Somebody might be busy. I don't want to pull you away from nothing you're doing.
The wife is here. Like, I don't want, you know what I mean? Yeah.
I don't want to do that. He insists.
I do insist.

Speaker 1 So, but you didn't have a partner.

Speaker 1 And I wasn't sure if my partner was available. He clearly didn't need one.

Speaker 1 And I wasn't sure if my partner was available. He was in the room, but he was tied up talking.
And this is your partner partner. This is

Speaker 1 the person who I've been playing with for the last 10 years.

Speaker 1 Okay. I have thoughts.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 George. Shout out to George.

Speaker 1 Shout out to George. I'm sorry, George, in advance, for what's going to come your way.
Great guy, smart guy. Really important lawyer, housing lawyer in New York.

Speaker 1 You know, very important, keeping poor people in their houses and shit.

Speaker 1 And he said, I'm down. Okay.

Speaker 1 So you had an advantage because you got

Speaker 1 your normal partner. You would think.

Speaker 1 I'm just painting that seems to be a bit more dangerous. Absolutely.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Okay. Did you have your normal partner, Joe? No, me and Corey played.
Okay. He played with Corey.

Speaker 1 I was trying to pull my other guy in, my man Justin, because he was the one who runs Uncle Bobby's. Shout out to Justin, man.
Justin's good for you. Shout out Justin.
Super cool. Super cool, dude.

Speaker 1 And his wife. And he was, I was like, Justin.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. His wife's cool, too.
Keisha. So I was like, Just why don't you play with me? Because, you know, George is a little tied up.
And he said, fuck no.

Speaker 1 Because if we lose, I'm going to be content next week. Yeah, he was smart.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was one of the smarter brothers in your house that day. Yeah, yeah.
He was like, I don't want no parts of this.

Speaker 1 It hurt me how he thought the content would go. He was like, Joe's going to come in.
Monomark suck-ass friends tried to sit down. But no, everybody was just going to be.
Get the impersonation down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did. He was good.

Speaker 1 So we start playing. We go to the basement.
We go to the basement.

Speaker 1 What? Had to take y'all to the basement to play cards. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 We'll get to all that later.

Speaker 1 You take that nigga shit downstairs. He was very happy to have the likes of us out of the side.
No idea how happy it was to get to the basement.

Speaker 1 So I had nothing to do with the house.

Speaker 1 In terms of deck, my wife is good, dude, all that shit. Only room I have responsibility for

Speaker 1 is the basement. Yeah, yeah.
And beautiful basement. Yeah, for sure.
But you see, it's very different than the rest of the house. Yes,

Speaker 1 it's got Philly sports shit, pool tail, all that type of shit. So we down there, and I'm like, okay, God, I got my people now.
We can get this game on.

Speaker 1 My people is a little.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Fair enough. Fair enough.
Well, we went down there. We was getting a couple people came down, people who wanted to watch the spade game because they heard the shit talking.
I'm talking shit.

Speaker 1 Actually, I don't know. A lot of people came down.
They did, yeah. A A lot of people came down to witness.
A lot of people came down. A lot of witnesses around this spade table.

Speaker 1 Y'all want to see a dead body?

Speaker 1 I mean, it's almost like they knew.

Speaker 1 It felt like they knew.

Speaker 1 Now, mind you, they're rooting for Joe. I was going to say, they wanted to see Mark fail.
They did. They absolutely.

Speaker 1 Part of it is because we usually win, and I talk a lot of shit, and I make people remember it for the rest of the year. Because we do it like New Year shit like that.

Speaker 1 So they absolutely were rooting for Joe. Antoine.

Speaker 1 We sit down.

Speaker 1 You should have been there.

Speaker 1 Yo, audience out there, listen to me.

Speaker 1 I told Mark that there's levels to playing spades. Oh, boy.
I did. For weeks, months even.
My dad came here. Just came here.

Speaker 1 Gave him food.

Speaker 1 Told him, this is not really what you want, son. Mark don't give a fuck.
We sit down. Mark plays spades like he went to college.

Speaker 1 Mark played spades like they had a cool nigga dorm room somewhere, and that's where they learned how to play.

Speaker 1 I play spades with contracted killers from all over the world, senior citizens, niggas that's 89. They don't remember nothing but cards.

Speaker 1 Or the niggas that did. That went to jail.
Yeah, the niggas that did 30 years. I play cards.
I used to pull up two colleges

Speaker 1 just to play cards.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the niggas at Willie P.I.B. We used to do all of that.
Mark and his partner sit down. The first thing his partner say is, are we playing blinds?

Speaker 1 You look at him like he's blind.

Speaker 1 You look at Mark like, and this is with who you choose.

Speaker 1 I said, because that's

Speaker 1 not how people play. No.
No, that's not how people play. No, so this is what Joe did.
Joe says, what's the house rules? And every time we told him a house rule, he would go, no.

Speaker 1 He can't ask. I don't really.

Speaker 1 Four aces get 100 points.

Speaker 1 Ish. He said, do y'all play blinds? I said, no.
He said, do you play blind? And that was for y'all. He said, do you play bags?

Speaker 1 I said, No. We play adult spades.
He said, Do we, do y'all play nil?

Speaker 1 I said, no. I said, I don't even know what nil is.
I said, do you, do Tim Books? Tim Books, 200. Like, what's going on? We get to the bottom of it.
Finally, we land on two sticks. Finally, we land on.

Speaker 1 Again, I play for money. He played in fucking Dev.
Need DeVroy. He went to some good school.
Boston College.

Speaker 1 Boston College.

Speaker 1 It's a good school. It is a good school.
It is is a good school. Shout out to Ghost of College.
Listen, I say I play lock bids.

Speaker 1 Oh, God. Once you bid, whoever bid first, you bid, it's down.
We'll bid second, it's down. That's the end.
It ain't a whole bunch of discussion. Mark and his partner said, well, we play.

Speaker 1 Once you bid, you can go up.

Speaker 1 I'll play that way.

Speaker 1 Everybody in the room said that. Many, many people play that way.
I played it before. I've never played that way.

Speaker 1 It's just not professional. I've never played that.
I played with nils, though.

Speaker 1 Because if you're playing for money and one team bid first,

Speaker 1 they bid,

Speaker 1 call it a board, five.

Speaker 1 The other team bid six. Now the other team get to go back and change their bid.
That's weird. So if you get an audience,

Speaker 1 you don't bid them. You don't get them.
You don't get.

Speaker 1 You don't have to play it.

Speaker 1 Part of playing spades is how you bid your hand, how you count your books.

Speaker 1 It's fine.

Speaker 1 But cool, we played in Mark Way. So every time they could go up, they was going up.
I'm gonna try to keep this very legal. We did it once before.
We did it one. Y'all did it every time.

Speaker 1 Y'all did it every time. You fucking bums.
But it's fine.

Speaker 1 But it's fine. We deal out the car.
Firsthand bit itself. Yeah.
Some more kindergarten shit. But cool.
I'm down to do it. That was Corey's idea.
No, he asked. I asked.
He asked.

Speaker 1 You said, do firsthand bit itself. We said, yeah.
Y'all would say yeah. But it's cool.

Speaker 1 Firsthand bit itself. I was honoring you.
In the hand that bit itself, they got it.

Speaker 1 He'd a bum they get like he getting spades, whole handful of spades, the first five hands, six hands.

Speaker 1 Boy, when they start collecting the first hand bid itself books, he was talking mad shit. And I'm like, yo, Mark, I never, it's the first hand of the first game.
And you didn't even bid it.

Speaker 1 I seen this type of

Speaker 1 four. There's no strategy there.
I know this nigga. There's always a strategy.
I've seen this type of this specific type of bum. It was a bad strategy.
This specific type of bum.

Speaker 1 I've seen, I met this bum before.

Speaker 1 So I'm saying,

Speaker 1 so we let it go.

Speaker 1 Our first four bids, board, board, five, five, to push it. These niggas is dancing around.
Yo, you want to take a seven? Yo, you want what you want to do? You want to hold the handle.

Speaker 1 He was two hands away from winning. Did you win? No, no, I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 So I'm saying,

Speaker 1 because I've done this a lot, I say to him, I love Mark. I say to him.

Speaker 1 Yo, and I ain't going to keep y'all long. I say to him, dog,

Speaker 1 the second that this seat

Speaker 1 does something different than it's doing with these hands curtains this is not gonna go good because y'all not good we said y'all they not good that's not true they not they not george they not good at all

Speaker 1 bad bad like real as bad as i thought he would be is how bad they are sure enough as god would have it come a seven somewhere around the sixth hand

Speaker 1 that seats start eating

Speaker 1 yo i'm talking market the type of bum the seven of spades was walking like they just stupid shit is happening now on the board cuz niggas is bums the seven of spades was walking yes yes hard horrible but anyway no matter

Speaker 1 they stuck

Speaker 1 we soon as I get in they stuck we lost and now we commence

Speaker 1 for the rest of the night

Speaker 1 because when you play bad you get bad hands

Speaker 1 and and then the cards changed and their fate changed and it was bad all his friends cousins aunts the barber everybody he knew was behind him cheering for us.

Speaker 1 It got to the point they were celebrating, even making their bid. That's what we knew it was back.
Yeah, it was like

Speaker 1 when I walked in, y'all was already playing. But in that game, where y'all jumped up and y'all slapping fives, y'all, yeah, yeah, well, I told y'all, I said, what happened? Y'all won.

Speaker 1 And Joe was like, no, we got six. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but we pulled a rabbit out of a hat.
We weren't supposed to get it and we got it.

Speaker 1 But y'all lost that game. No, no, I'm just telling you,

Speaker 1 celebrating, y'all just made the book. Y'all had 11.
Y'all just played back.

Speaker 1 Y'all just played back.

Speaker 1 So you got seven. That's not what

Speaker 1 So on one specific hand, and then I'm shutting up.

Speaker 1 We bid first.

Speaker 1 I got all the heat. Corey says he got one in the pot.

Speaker 1 We'll go eight.

Speaker 1 They already got a stick or some shit, funny shit going on. We go eight.

Speaker 1 His partner, George, feeling himself.

Speaker 1 Give us the five. Mind you, I told him I had one.
He has the five. I told him I had one.
He has one. He said he takes the five.
I stop it because I love Mark.

Speaker 1 He's been such a great addition to this podcast.

Speaker 1 I stop it. I say, yo, just so you know, where I'm from, that is a sign of disrespect.

Speaker 1 I say, where I'm from, that is a sign of disrespect. If I go eight,

Speaker 1 just take the board.

Speaker 1 Five means you think I'm stuck and you lack respect for me as a spades player. But male pride.
Male ego.

Speaker 1 George was tipsy by then. He puts the five down.
I might have made 11 books. I think.
Like, that's how bad they play. Oh, yeah.
I might have made like 11 books. I think it was 11.
I think it was 11.

Speaker 1 It was something absolutely ridiculous. Then they left, never to be seen or heard from again.
And I'm only telling this long, exaggerated story to let the audience know.

Speaker 1 Mark and Spades discussions officially done. I disagree.
Officially over.

Speaker 1 Because it's okay, brother. You're brilliant.
I want to hear it. Let me say he disagreed.
You are a brilliant brother. You speak all over the world.
Like, you got a good life.

Speaker 1 You got a beautiful home.

Speaker 1 First of all, we. You don't need to be good at...
You bad at shit. I'm bad at lie.
There's something that you bad at. Spades is not.
I'm not bad at spades.

Speaker 1 We lost. We got outplayed.
We did get outplayed. I ain't going to deny that.

Speaker 1 We lost because we got, well, I ain't going to, you know what? I'm not going to do that. We said over the weekend I said I was going to throw George under the bus.
Yeah. You can't be that guy.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to throw George under the bus. No Iron team.
All I'm gonna say is you lose, you lose.

Speaker 1 It's like that. We overbid and we shouldn't have.
And you only play two. Y'all played two sets and you're done.
Yeah, two sets. I'm telling you.
You only play three, but it's cool.

Speaker 1 See, even that, you hear him? I've always played. Who plays 500? We played three sticks.
Who's played a 500? Even that, you hear him? He play like a real third grade space.

Speaker 1 Three sticks, 500. We ain't got time.
Niggas got necks and niggas got money. And that's true.
Two sticks, 350. And I'm good with that.
What he's leaving out is they got stuck too.

Speaker 1 We were up most of the game. Then we got set.
Then they got set. And then whoever got set next was going to win the game.
Nobody made it to 350.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm saying. And we made a bad delay.
We lost.

Speaker 1 You would think that was what I asked the whole game, which isn't what happened. Now, the second game...
No, no. The second game was a molly-whopping.
The first game, they bumped heads on jokers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he wanted them niggas. They don't even want to play the spade.
They want to hold them to the end. They hold them to the end.
As soon as I... I don't have no hands.

Speaker 1 Boy, when the hands start changing, oh, these niggas want to hold.

Speaker 1 Let's have a look.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna let him tell the story that way because he won. I'm gonna let you tell the story that way because you won.
Good game, though. Y'all won.
But I would like a rematch.

Speaker 1 And the new partner. You said that's your tip.
That's your partner, though. So, no disrespect to George.
Oh.

Speaker 1 Here comes the disrespect. Oh, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 He folded. No, he got a little nervous under the lights.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. No, I don't do that.

Speaker 1 In 10 years, listen to me. In 10 years,

Speaker 1 We have never

Speaker 1 we rarely get set.

Speaker 1 You made him go from four to five. I saw that one.
Yeah, and that happened twice. I've never seen that happen.
I told you, I was like, that's a sign of a bad player. Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 If you could let the other team, bro, if you can't count, and that's why you're not supposed to go up, count your books based on what you see in your hand. Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Agree.

Speaker 1 But then what happened was, we said, I said, I ain't got nothing. I got one.
Right. Yo.
Go board. Let me finish this sentence.
I said, let's go board.

Speaker 1 He says to the boy, he says to him,

Speaker 1 If you go five, I'm taking it as disrespect. So now.
Now he got to disrespect. Now he got it.
He's like, now I got to go five. Or you can make the books that are in your hand.
I'm with you.

Speaker 1 Like I said, I'm with you. That's my point.
But the nigga said he got 11 anyway. So y'all shot regardless.
They didn't play well. I only had one book.
I had no control over that.

Speaker 1 But even if y'all went bored, y'all would have still lost. Maybe.

Speaker 1 I think we, but maybe. Hit the group chat about it.
Anyway, it's cool. Yo, if you're listening at home, I'm telling you once again, like I told this brilliant nigga, I'm like that.
Damn.

Speaker 1 I'm like that.

Speaker 1 Like Reddit pulled up the trophies for this bum ass brilliant nigga. He seemed it.
My dad came. If any one of y'all want to, yo, fly up, lock in.
Come in.

Speaker 1 Get you a ham track ticket and have some money at you, man. Be ready to lock in.
At least three, four hours. I'm really this.
I'm really that. Next game for money.
No, Mark. No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 I'm not doing that to you.

Speaker 1 I will not do that. We're not playing for millions.
Next game for money. Mark, please, no.
Please, I'm telling you. Next game for money.

Speaker 1 You left that thinking that you would fare better on another outing.

Speaker 1 I feel very confident. Hey, we still lose it.

Speaker 1 Maybe. We'll find out.
Me and Corey.

Speaker 1 We'll find out. All right.
We'll find out. My dad will love to hear that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you do got enough money. You live in a nice little neighborhood.
There is less over there. I wish you you got a nice little, you can, yeah, you got a couple dollars.
Park Parks.

Speaker 1 You talk to the group chat, like, yo, this shit is Hollywood Hills. I didn't even know they had a Hollywood Hills.
I was like, I'm not a badass like Hollywood. There's no lights or nothing up there.

Speaker 1 I'm like, oh, shit. I told you.
It is a hill. Yeah.
I told you. I went outside to get something from the car.
I heard the neighbors start locking their doors. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get to the neighbors when we left. So, in the basement after the spade game, all Mark's friends eventually go back to having a great time, and Mark's friends giving upstairs.

Speaker 1 And it's just me and my girl, and Parks and his wife, and Ice and his girl and we just down there

We should, though.

Speaker 1 She looking at all these motherfucking 13-foot fake trees where somebody got to go up the stairs to put the top one of the trees. The whole tree.
That's what she's talking about.

Speaker 1 When motherfuckers be home bored, like they, she talking about, the white people, when they build the house, they have a closet where they just push the tree back and then they pull it back out when it's time for Christmas again.

Speaker 1 I said, that's cool, but let me ask you a question. Do you think I'm building a Christmas tree closet?

Speaker 1 Let's just start with, am I white? You got the money. There you go.

Speaker 1 You got the white. Like, let's talk about it for real.
Like, is that what you think is happening? Yeah, I got in trouble. Right, because you're only building your house.
All right.

Speaker 1 I feel like part of the only reason we could leave this,

Speaker 1 I feel like part of the only reason my girl's even up here cooking. She said some shit.
She was like, Yeah, I'll come up and cook. I mean, last Thanksgiving, you wasn't doing shit.

Speaker 1 You just ran around and got plates from houses. And I was like,

Speaker 1 That's the bag. That's fly.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I love doing that. Me too.
Yo, when you're just home in the house by yourself, then you get up at around three or four and start making rounds. Make them rounds.
It's a good feeling.

Speaker 1 You just go in there. You don't have to be there too long.
You go in there and shit. I was like, what's the rules on that? Man, some houses make some shit better than other houses.

Speaker 1 So I got a jerky from you. I got stuffing from you.
I got Mac from you. It's lit for the next five days.
Yep. Appreciate it.
How long you got to stay to get a plate?

Speaker 1 Because apparently I do plates wrong according to y'all motherfuckers. Nah, you don't have to stay that long.

Speaker 1 If people know that that you're coming, they put a plate aside. And you know what I mean? Like, yeah, Caribbean households do that.
Are you coming? All right.

Speaker 1 I got something on the side for you and shit like that. You just go there.
Hey, what up, y'all?

Speaker 1 In the hood, some families are only expecting you to come for the plate. Yep.
Like,

Speaker 1 you've been doing this for 10 years.

Speaker 1 We know your family. Some people don't have family.
It's like, I used to go to child to Kanita and her mom in Jersey City. Every year it was like a ritual.

Speaker 1 I pop right up, get a plate, talk for a few minutes, and get out of here. I respect that.
My baby mom, the first one,

Speaker 1 you're the first one, said

Speaker 1 she got a plate for me. I'm getting it.

Speaker 1 That's just me. All right.

Speaker 1 All right, forget it. There is a conversation to be had about that.
But, all right, now. We're going to have it.
Not on holiday weekend. Holiday week.
All right, what else? What else?

Speaker 1 What else? Get me out of here. Save me for myself.
Joe, let me congratulate you.

Speaker 1 You made the Root 100.

Speaker 1 The Roots. Is that the shit that you?

Speaker 1 Well, that's not how this goes.

Speaker 1 since BC, since before Christ.

Speaker 1 He was like, oh, shit, all right, nigga, you ain't had to do all that.

Speaker 1 And toward the end of the episode, I was like, well, Mark, is there anybody else that you want to shout out that made the Route 100? He brushed over it.

Speaker 1 There was nobody shouted out. Nobody was mentioning it.

Speaker 1 I get home, and to my surprise.

Speaker 1 Guess who else made the Route 100? Oh, you guessed it.

Speaker 1 Me.

And that is it.

Speaker 1 Don't forget if you download the ad brack this very second and use promo code jbp you get 50 instantly when you play your first five dollar lineup only on prize picks where it's good to be right uh speaking of shador good pick uh ish yeah uh mark will iso on you shador sanders had his first start of the season the other day got the w as coached during the uh game-winning speech shit it all over him didn't give him the confidence and encouragement needed to go forward uh mark how you feeling you've been one on the shador hate train.

Speaker 1 As everybody says, I'm not on the Shador hate train. I am a Shador fan.

Speaker 1 Anybody that got a black dad that kicked ass in sports, you against that.

Speaker 1 Not at all. I was rooting for him.
The only thing I said was in the preseason when everybody was saying, see, he proved the haters wrong with that one-half of preseason football.

Speaker 1 I just said it's too early to make good or bad projections about somebody. I think let the season play out, see how they play.
But I'm rooting for him. I want him to do well.

Speaker 1 And he broke the streak of

Speaker 1 Browns quarterbacks that lose their first game. So

Speaker 1 going back to 1999, I think. Oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, so he did that in his big, I was watching his post-game speech, and now they're mad at him for his post-game speech. That shit is so good.
Yeah, for having confidence.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because he was like, he said, that's just what a week of practice. Imagine what would have happened if I had the whole preseason.
It's kind of dangerous. And people felt like, wait,

Speaker 1 be humble. Let it play out.
I hate that hope. You always want niggas to be humble.
Fuck that. You know, my thing is,

Speaker 1 you can talk big shit as long as you're willing to back it up. And as long as you're willing to be accountable when you lose.
I ain't mad at him for it. Talk crazy.
Do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 Muhammad Ali did it. His dad did it.
And his dad did it as soon as he came into the league. He didn't wait until he was, you know, the legend to do it.
So go ahead and get it.

Speaker 1 You can talk shit when Mals Garrett is your teammate and he's saying, yo, that was an amazing throw. It's only

Speaker 1 a handful of quarterbacks that can make that throw.

Speaker 1 Like, when you have that endorsement from arguably one of the best defensive players of all time, I think you have to say that now when it comes to Mals Garrett, then you should be feeling yourself.

Speaker 1 Which throw? The one where he was rolling out? Yeah.

Speaker 1 yeah yeah that one he threw that moment it was tough he did yeah he slung that shit was tough I also think I mean call me a weirdo I do think that some shit be genetics yo

Speaker 1 like yeah I think there's a winning gene kind of okay like a winning gene a winning household you grew up Around somebody that was talking winning shit, preaching winning habits or practices.

Speaker 1 I subscribe to that. I do.

Speaker 1 I think that's legit.

Speaker 1 I would bet on that before I start talking. Who's the other rookie? Dylan? Dylan, Gabriel.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And the other thing, like, when your fate is your fate, nothing they can do about it. Yep.
When your fate is your fate, there's nothing they can do about it.

Speaker 1 All them injuries, they traded Flacco, traded somebody else. Now they're carrying Deshaun Watkins.

Speaker 1 They're like, Shador was going to get his shot no matter what anybody had to say about it, because sometimes the stars are just a lying. Shador, you have my support.

Speaker 1 I saw a whole bunch of bitches on Instagram

Speaker 1 doing the elbow.

Speaker 1 I seen that. I'm going to see what the bitches are doing.
They're doing the Shadorn, nigga. They like, ah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I'm happy for them. They are doing the Shador.
People just don't like him. You can't see him.
They're doing the Shadua.

Speaker 1 People don't like him because he's cocky, basically. Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's a good thing. I'm about to say, yeah, that's arrogant, too.
I don't think he's cocky. No, he's cocky, but I ain't mad at him for it.
Bro, I don't know one athlete.

Speaker 1 He should be cocky. I'm dead at it.
Listen, I don't know one athlete. You want a humble fucking quarterback? I don't want a humble quarterback, a humble wide receiver.

Speaker 1 Certain positions, I need you to be at that. I need to be.
But you're still on the other fence, though, Mark. I'm on the fence.
I'm rooting for it. I like Shador.

Speaker 1 The only thing I've ever said about him was that one preseason game I didn't think disproved all of his critics. And it also didn't prove, it didn't prove anything to anybody.

Speaker 1 I think I just said, let him play and see how good he could be. I hope he's the greatest quarterback ever.
I'm rooting for him. I'm rooting for him.
I'm a big Deion fan. I love Deion.

Speaker 1 Put your door up on your little tribal decorations in your house.

Speaker 1 He'll be the top of my tree. Yeah, there you go.
There you go.

Speaker 1 But when y'all actually watched the game, did y'all see the things that look like a special quarterback? I didn't watch the game. I saw the hot.
You trying to be shady, you bitch. No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 You got to catch him off.

Speaker 1 There is no shade in this question. Again, I like Shador.
I don't know enough about football to know whether he's a good player. If you're trying to highlight, just

Speaker 1 he showed flash. He looked solid.
Yeah, he's flashlight. Yeah, was it a good rookie quarterback? Yeah, I'm not being funny.

Speaker 1 He looks solid. Well, yeah, especially if you got him in the fifth round.
Right. Yeah.
Okay. I'm asking because I don't know.

Speaker 1 Was it? It was the fifth. Yeah, it was the fifth.
Yeah. If you got him in the fifth round,

Speaker 1 what are you going to say? You got to win. Yeah.
you got to win. I agree.

Speaker 1 I think his numbers will improve, but I mean, he showed flashes at Colorado shit. I'm rooting for him, man.

Speaker 1 I was about to say, like, I saw stuff in college. I didn't watch the game the other day, but I saw stuff in college that solidified him as a top three quarterback, in my opinion, in the draft.

Speaker 1 Nigga, Home Depot got TVs.

Speaker 1 They do, they do, too.

Speaker 1 It's the Cleveland game, my nigga. Yeah, word.

Speaker 1 I was in San Fran for the Niners game.

Speaker 1 Started Brock Purdy on my fantasy team because Justin Herbert is on a bye.

Speaker 1 Two interceptions in the first quarter. No, see, yeah, three in the first half.
One in the fucking red zone. Yeah.
These guys are fucking fucking God. The Rams are legit, though.
Yeah, they are.

Speaker 1 I might go put money on the Rams to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 That's not a bad bet. It's not a bad bet at all.
Yeah, they're really not slacking off. Anytime I feel like the Rams going to Super Bowl, them niggas win.
I need to go just put a couple cheese stats.

Speaker 1 One time, nigga. That's when I thought it.

Speaker 1 He said, that's your music. That shit before the seasons.

Speaker 1 They were showing the Rams highlights. They were showing Aaron Donnell.
First of all, their defense is real.

Speaker 1 It's a real defense. And then they paying the camera to the audience and showed Aaron Donnell in there looking like Aaron Donnell.
I'm like a million bucks. Boy, this league is lucky.

Speaker 1 And they just took his shirt off. They had a

Speaker 1 shirt off. I'm like, yo, this nigga, come on.
That league is lucky. Stop cheating.
He said that. Will he be able to come back if he wanted to come back? No, right?

Speaker 1 Because cap reasons and all of that shit. I'm not sure, honestly.
What if he just took a dollar? Yo, give me a dollar, yo. I like what y'all doing.
We out. We back.
He made it. He could.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Two rings?

Speaker 1 Shout out to the Rams, yo. I like what he said, though.
He's like, I ain't nothing else for me. I did it all.
Everything. I'm just like it.
I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 Maybe recency bias and we'll leave sports. Shout out to Pablo Touré, who was here.

Speaker 1 Subscribe to the Patreon. Really, really good.

Speaker 1 Really great Pablo Tour interview. If Matt Stafford keeps it up, I'm ready to start the Matt Stafford-Aaron Rodgers conversation.

Speaker 1 I don't know that Aaron Rodgers is better than Matt Stafford all time. I don't know that.

Speaker 1 Those couple years, Aaron Rodgers was unbelievable.

Speaker 1 I believe he got one of them. Joe.
Yeah, he only got one chip, but.

Speaker 1 Unbelievable was he? It's what?

Speaker 1 He's one of them. Who? Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 Of course he is. I just don't think he's.
I don't know if... I don't know.

Speaker 1 I can't say he's better than Matt Stafford. I cannot say that unequivocally.

Speaker 1 Matt Stafford is really like that, yo. Matt Stafford is good.
Still, he's good. Yo, today it's not even a conversation.
No, but today's all time, though. He don't impact the game like Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I don't know about that.
Aaron Rodgers rolls out. Aaron Rodgers can win the game by himself.

Speaker 1 Like Pat Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, it's just certain dudes. They could really win the game damn near by themselves with they will and just shit like that.

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers has just been taking his stock over the last couple years. That's the problem.
Yeah. Yeah.
He probably should have run. And he's a MAGA head too.
Fuck Aaron Rodgers. How about that?

Speaker 1 What the fuck? the fuck are we talking about? I'll go with that.

Speaker 1 Is he? But he's my kind of quarterback. Oh, I ain't know that.
No, no, I'm talking shit. I could be lying.

Speaker 1 He's going to throw MAGA on a nigga. Yeah, I don't know about Margaret.
No, not MAGA. He got some weird views.

Speaker 1 He got some different

Speaker 1 ideology sphere of the weird conspiracies.

Speaker 1 He's from the flat earth. He's from all of that shit.
But when he's on the field, he was my kind of quarterback. I think Matt Stafford is better than Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 I don't give a fuck what Pat MAGA if he got the same thing. I like the way he plays.

Speaker 1 Parks. I was about to say.
Oh, go ahead. No, no.
You're just going right where I'm going to say. Parks.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's do what we hear, man. Chris Paul announced that this will be his very last season.
He's retiring after this. I know you're extremely disappointed.
He's one of your favorite point guards.

Speaker 1 I still want Parks. I can't believe he never won a chip.
I can't.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 That's dirty. Wow.
And he might win it this year. Not a veto the Laker trade.
You know what I mean? That's true.

Speaker 1 Basketball reasons.

Speaker 1 It could have been different. It could have been.
Basketball reasons.

Speaker 1 If I was the Lakers, I'll just threw this shit out the NBA.

Speaker 1 I hate that whole story. Anyway, that's another story for another time.
I don't understand. I don't think that was unfair.

Speaker 1 I think vetoing the trade was the right thing to do at the time. But

Speaker 1 Chris Paul retiring is a big deal, man. I mean, he sort of announced it in the summer, so to me, it wasn't kind of as big a surprise we're making it this week.

Speaker 1 I want him to get the farewell tour, though. I want him to get every team in the league or every stadium in the league really thank him for what he did.
And I know he's not going to get it

Speaker 1 for a few reasons. Yeah, it's a lot of reasons.

Speaker 1 For a few reasons, but a lot of reasons, yeah, he's not very popular,

Speaker 1 he's not well liked.

Speaker 1 Why not? Because he's got a reputation of being a dirty player a little bit, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, is he like that? I said, Thomas Tradition, yeah, oh,

Speaker 1 you know what I mean, and he's chippy, but but he was, I mean, really instrumental in the players' union, he's fought really hard to get them what they deserve.

Speaker 1 He also was instrumental influential in the Black Lives Matter movement with the players in front of the camera and behind the scenes. And for me, Chris Paul was supposed to win it twice, yes,

Speaker 1 like I don't want one to go unsaid. I say one.
Let's do it. The Houston series.
Oh, okay. The Houston series, where they were up 3-2 on

Speaker 1 Golden State, and he went down. I think a lot of people felt like they had a great chance to win in that series.

Speaker 1 The Phoenix series. And the Phoenix series was a good one.
That's the one I think.

Speaker 1 So he had a really good shot two times and just injuries. Nothing you could do about it.

Speaker 1 To play elite basketball at his size to me was always impressive. At his prime, I don't know the numbers now, but in his prime, he had the highest PER of any point guard in NBA history.

Speaker 1 He was an extraordinary. I don't want to talk like he did or something.

Speaker 1 He was a great defender in his prime, as well as one of the better playmakers you've ever seen. I mean, he was a beast and a great leader

Speaker 1 at that height, man. Chris Paul goes down as a top what point guard of all time? 10.
Stop. Don't be stupid now.
12.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. So he wants him higher.
Here's the thing. You got Magic, you got Isaiah, and you got Steph.
It's 10, because a lot of shit is going to be arguable.

Speaker 1 And then after that, he's in the, I think he could be anywhere else on that list.

Speaker 1 Some people say Jason Kidd, some would say him. He'd be the top five for me.
Kidd, Nash,

Speaker 1 Stockton.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I said top 10.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but we named six.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm not saying he's number 10. I'm saying he's in the top 10.
Well, but if you can go higher, then we can try to go out. Would you put him above Westbrook?

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
For me, yes. But again, he's a.
It's an argument.

Speaker 1 I would have to. Yeah, but there's a Westbrook argument.
Would you put above Winlert?

Speaker 1 Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm just naming the elite point guards. For me, he's about five or six.
But I think he could fall anywhere between three and like eight for people, reasonably.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think Chris Ball is the top seven point guard of all time.

Speaker 1 And I think that's pretty fair. Yeah.
Top 10 for sure.

Speaker 1 Like I would have to really say 10 and be sad. No, I'm saying I would disrespect.
It's not. I would have to really sit down and, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 But if you can't do it off the top of your head, then let's call him top seven.

Speaker 1 If off the top of your head, you can't name nine, right? There might be some of them old hoods we got to consider too. Oscar Robbers.
A lot of niggas play basketball, bro.

Speaker 1 Yeah, do you put them above Oscar Roberts? I mean, this is where it gets to. My dad balls, nigga.
Shut up.

Speaker 1 I ain't when niggas do that shit. Oscar Robinson played.

Speaker 1 Let me stop. Don't jump.

Speaker 1 My dad will kick my ass. You gotta stop.
And Oscar's the OG. I ain't got nothing to say.
You ain't got nothing to say.

Speaker 1 Chris Paul, congratulations on his great iconic and legendary career.

Speaker 1 You another nigga in the NBA that have been running for me in spades for a real long time, man. You should have some time on your hands after this season.

Speaker 1 If somebody out there listening knows Chris Paul, do me a favor, clip this time stamp up, send it right to him, send it right to him.

Speaker 1 All right, what else? What else? What else needs our attention? Come on, let's keep this boy.

Speaker 1 What's this Twitter? Oh, no, before we go to Twitter, I'm sorry. I saw something on the internet today that really made my head explode.

Speaker 1 I'm sure that's a cause or something. Yeah, it is a cause.

Speaker 1 I was watching the podcast, and Joelle Santana. Oh, my God.
Do we have a clip?

Speaker 1 You probably. Because I don't feel like I can do this justice.
I saved this clip 90 times

Speaker 1 they were talking about what the youth need

Speaker 1 and the subject of reading came up here it is

Speaker 1 here it is let me get to it first

Speaker 1 drag it out a little bit i was doing a professional throw and i figured we paused in this

Speaker 1 region though we got to start teaching our kids though just just just that just financial wealth and literacy and all that that shit early because By the time they get the ninth grade, they should be just learning how to start businesses and

Speaker 1 how to how to, to but they don't really need to to learn how to know how to read

Speaker 1 that i say that respectfully i'm not saying that in a way to be literate because you're not supposed to be illiterate but you can

Speaker 1 read or or math math math told you math i think you can get a told you told you

Speaker 1 told you the best part

Speaker 1 i told you

Speaker 1 i'm reading to understand it i believe common sense is better than everything.

Speaker 1 I'm a common sense, nigga. I'm letting the clip play out.

Speaker 1 They tried to clip him up.

Speaker 1 Common sense, be able to read the room, be able to read life, be able to read people. I try to understand people, understand, you know what I'm saying? Like, nowadays, you can listen to a book.

Speaker 1 I just listen to the 48 Laws of Power.

Speaker 1 You have to read your contract, Al.

Speaker 1 You don't have to listen to that, too.

Speaker 1 They got apps you can put it in and they can read it.

Speaker 1 Crazy.

Speaker 1 And this is why we've been getting robbed for the last 600 years. It probably will.
AI will now.

Speaker 1 We all want to read our contracts. You don't have to read.
Shit got big told to you. I'm getting dumber the longer I let that play.

Speaker 1 And trust me, I'm dumb enough. Putting a lot of faith in that AI.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay. Distinguished panel and you guys.

Speaker 1 How do we feel about this? I have no.

Speaker 1 I wanted to know what y'all thought. I'll just say.
You own the most books. For anyone.

Speaker 1 And bookshelves. That's it.
Anyone who criticizes this podcast. Without vines, too.

Speaker 1 No, not one lift, laugh, love. I'm there.
I'm not at all. He ain't really reading no more, buddy.

Speaker 1 I was disappointed to hear that. And I love Joel Say Ted.
I'm a big fan. I just,

Speaker 1 I don't quite get what he was trying to say. I do.

Speaker 1 I get what he was trying to say. I understood exactly what he was trying to say.
He just fucked it up. I agree.
Help me understand because

Speaker 1 I want to read him as generously as possible. I think he could have got to the point about business acumen and economics without throwing reading out the window.

Speaker 1 Okay. He said there's a lot of reading.
He was conflating reading with knowing how to read.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was conflating book knowledge with common sense or business knowledge. Yeah.
That's what I think he was trying to do. I'm saying today you don't have to read.

Speaker 1 You have a lot of not knowing how to read changes that the entire premise. Yeah.
But

Speaker 1 he was trying to do with reading what I did in

Speaker 1 elementary school with cursive, right? Like I made a decision. I stood on business with cursive.
Yo, dog, I'm not going to need this in the future.

Speaker 1 You was left-handed? Leave me alone with this. I am left-handed, and I was left-handed.
It was hard to

Speaker 1 in my district, right? Cursive sucks.

Speaker 1 I wasn't a fan of it.

Speaker 1 You think I'm trying to be fucking bad? My man, it's trying to be easy. You trying to be defensive? I'm saying with left-handed defensive.
It wasn't going to be hard to.

Speaker 1 No, I understand what you're saying. You're right.
I wasn't with that cursive shit. I think that was the point he was trying to make.

Speaker 1 He was trying to say, I'm more on fucking intuition and common sense.

Speaker 1 Everything he said makes sense. If you don't say

Speaker 1 how to read,

Speaker 1 that sounds nuts, Jewels. And then instead, it's just like, and this is the thing that happens on podcasts.
People don't just retreat and say, you know,

Speaker 1 I misspoke or let me reconsider that.

Speaker 1 They got to double down. Oh, somebody can tell you what's on the menu.
That's all you can get an aptitude. It's like a bad thing.
That's such a bad podcast. I'll have AI read.

Speaker 1 That is a huge podcast problem that

Speaker 1 niggas can't just say, hey, I misspoke. Yeah.
Right. Hey, I said something I didn't mean.
This is what I meant to say.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to kill Jewels. Me either.
I understand,

Speaker 1 but that sounds nuts. And also, you should still, even if I read him as generously as y'all are, and I think we should,

Speaker 1 you still need to know how to read. I mean, you still should read.
And you get to. And, in my opinion, you get more education the more you read.
Like, how do you build your vocabulary?

Speaker 1 How do you get certain shit if you're not reading it? That's the biggest part that bothered me about what he said and when he said it.

Speaker 1 It was who said it. Like, you are MC.

Speaker 1 Yeah, words should be important.

Speaker 1 We are the people that words should matter to. We should never preach not knowing words, knowing how to read, not wanting to learn, being open-minded enough.

Speaker 1 That shouldn't come from an MC.

Speaker 1 So that was disturbing a little bit. I also want to give him his props because in that same interview.
Let's give him some props.

Speaker 1 He addressed his battles with addiction and apologized to the young fans for even promoting that to them. We don't usually see a lot of artists do that.

Speaker 1 You know, I sold you this lifestyle. I pushed this to y'all and I was wrong for that.

Speaker 1 So you know, I acknowledge the brain perspective.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he

Speaker 1 meet me did that too before, I think. Yeah, a couple of it's been a couple.
I'm just saying overall, it's not it's not a thing. Like they'll go and get clean.

Speaker 1 They'll go and learn all this extra shit and then act like I never was that person before. That's true.

Speaker 1 And I mean, Juel's got kids. You want to read to your kids, man.
You do.

Speaker 1 You never read no other time. You want to read to your kids.

Speaker 1 Read Twitter.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You know what I mean? You want to read, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of reading. Reading is dope, yo.
It is fundamental. Very much so.
It is. Find something to read.
It's brain exercise. Like, get to it.

Speaker 1 Nobody's telling you what to read, but reading something. Something, yeah.
It's fundamental. That was the old school shit, right? Reading is fundamental.
Who said that?

Speaker 1 And now can't none of the kids read? Whole America dumb. Because they got access to this AI shit, like you said.

Speaker 1 Reading for you.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? What's the internet?

Speaker 1 Dumbing us down.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's one way to look at it.

Speaker 1 I don't think the school, the public school system is the best. But y'all know my views on that, so

Speaker 1 I'm not going to hold y'all hostage with that. I do agree that the internet is partially to blame.

Speaker 1 People just put too much faith in technology, AI included, which he referenced in this segment it's not everything y'all it's it but people think it's because we don't have the literacy to know that it's not

Speaker 1 people will then lean on it and be i mean people use the ai searches for everything we're having i was having a debate on twitter because

Speaker 1 you saw because this article said james harden was the first person in nba histor uh to lead two different teams in single game scoring right and he's not he's just not and i'm like he's not and i said like wilt chamberlain did it lebron did it i did say wilt had to have

Speaker 1 yeah but everybody's sending mark screenshots of the AI. Of AI.
Saying, yes, James Harden. And I'm like, forget AI.
This is a fact. Just look it up.
And they're like, fuck for looking it up.

Speaker 1 AI says it's true. Like, we actually believe the AI is like real.

Speaker 1 I think we always be putting it together. You know what I think the problem is, too, Mark? Oh, go ahead.

Speaker 1 Yeah, thank you. The problem is going from,

Speaker 1 thank you very much.

Speaker 1 The attention span.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's ADHD. I don't want to misdiagnose anyone.
But the attention span is something that I can, listen. Even the ADHD is coming from the food.

Speaker 1 I don't know what that is. I feel like the attention span, like, you can look at something.

Speaker 1 At some point, I find myself reading something and like, man.

Speaker 1 But then you have to push yourself through it and read it and get an understanding. You know what I mean? So what?

Speaker 1 I mean, does he actually

Speaker 1 say that? You left it right at the rim. He looked at the body.

Speaker 1 I can read and understand, but what I'm saying is that

Speaker 1 so many things are in my mind at one time that I'm thinking about. My attention spans is like, okay, I got to do this.
I got to to do that. But you have to read.
You have to get back to it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 I got to get to the money. I got to get to the money.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 I got to get to it. But the money.
I hate when you go learn a word. You got to learn the words.

Speaker 1 You got to go up here and turn up and show you old niggas how to carry it.

Speaker 1 You know that. Come on.
I'm trying to get to.

Speaker 1 They're on my ass, too. Everybody up here getting money on.
You're not playing with none of y'all, but you're getting the most. I heard that argument last time.
We'll get to it.

Speaker 1 We're definitely getting the most.

Speaker 1 I heard that argument about the boots.

Speaker 1 You know, I heard. The boots.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I heard it. These my brothers, they be paying me like that.
Pay you like what?

Speaker 1 He on our side.

Speaker 1 Nigga, wait, hold on.

Speaker 1 Is there a carpet in here, nigga? Picasso's in the building, nigga.

Speaker 1 Wait, you agree with them?

Speaker 1 I left one off of my, what is wastefulness? Don't need it, don't have it, don't use it.

Speaker 1 I feel like wastefulness is

Speaker 1 on my don't need it and don't have it. It's

Speaker 1 any combination of those sliders.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't buy those boots. Don't do that.
Don't join them. But you, okay.

Speaker 1 This is a lot of shit that you've bought that we've seen you buy.

Speaker 1 Like you buy shit, you enjoy buying things because you have the luxury to buy things. So I didn't understand.
So I buy things that I want. Yes.
I don't just buy shit to buy shit.

Speaker 1 And I told these brothers, I don't even wear boots.

Speaker 1 I told them that man time.

Speaker 1 They know me for mad long and still come in there and misappropriate my character. I remember.
Didn't you crack a joke that you wanted to buy the Marty McFly shits one time? Never.

Speaker 1 You didn't say that? No, nigga. I'm not Wally.
I ain't a sneakerhead. I ain't walking around no backs of the future shit stuck on my fucking knees.
Hell no. Oh, I ain't my fault.
The Marty Mc.

Speaker 1 That's who you think I am.

Speaker 1 Just the bottom of the body, because I know you wasn't going to wear them. Not at all, yo.
All right, so we got you misjudged then. And Ish be comparing me to the Port Authority paupers.

Speaker 1 Oh, you don't. Like, he be comparing, Joe, niggas only make 99 cents a week.

Speaker 1 I don't.

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 1 Sorry, buddy.

Speaker 1 Ish, do you care to rejoin?

Speaker 1 You want to whistle, nigga. Me up.
Anyway, what else is important? What else is important, unimportant needs our attention?

Speaker 1 Reading is fundamental.

Speaker 1 Make sure you pick up a book. Comprehension.
AIs and everything. I saw one more thing on the internet that really bothered me in the last 48 hours.

Speaker 1 It was, I guess, Fab's birthday. Fabulous.
Was it his birthday? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It had to be, bro. Audience, do y'all hear Mark's voice?

Speaker 1 As I learn Mark's Mark's pod and style, I want y'all to learn it too. Do y'all just hear his tonality? Like, you get it now, right? Go ahead.

Speaker 1 What's going on?

Speaker 1 Nothing, man. Go ahead, man.
Let's hear it out. I don't even, Ish, do you understand? I have no idea.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I'll stay with Ish.

Speaker 1 No, Fab, it was his birthday, and they gave him a cake with candles on it. Yeah, he didn't want to blow the candles.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 he was.

Speaker 1 My dramatic intro is going, but yeah, he was doing this

Speaker 1 with the flame. You know know what I mean? I was like, why is he waving at the candles like that? Well, it's unsanitary to blow over the cake where everybody's going to cut and eat the cake.

Speaker 1 But that wasn't his reason. Yeah, it ain't what he said.
Because sanitary, I get. Well, what did he say? I didn't see the clip.
What did he say?

Speaker 1 Basically, he not blowing out candles because that's like, I guess, gay, or that's like a pause.

Speaker 1 I mean, people will make jokes. I'm going to put the benefit of the doubt and say he was joking.
Yeah, he was joking. I was going to ask.
I think if he was home in his house

Speaker 1 with his family and friends, I don't think he's going to just wave over some birthday candles. You got him holding the cake.

Speaker 1 I don't think he wanted to blow the candles out in front of Jim and Dave and

Speaker 1 them.

Speaker 1 Even though they expected him to, too. They looked like they were waiting for it.
They were confused.

Speaker 1 I'm going to cut him. He ain't want to blow them candles out and be a meme.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like, somebody would have caught him.
Somebody would have caught him.

Speaker 1 That's worth being a meme about.

Speaker 1 That's a positive meme. So who, though? No, it's not.
It depends on the person. Depends on the person.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. It depends on the person.
Yo, we're almost 50. I know.
I know. These creative niggas on the internet.
He's almost 50. And the creative niggas on the internet will start meming you up.

Speaker 1 I'm not even saying that. But what effect should that have on a 50-year-old?

Speaker 1 That's what you're going to do. But it is.
All right, they're going to meme them up. They're doing what the kids do with the memes.
Should that have an effect on you as an almost 50-year-old?

Speaker 1 If you're a person who cares so much about looking cool, yes.

Speaker 1 And you inherit. And that's who we talk about.
You shouldn't care so much about looking cool that you can't blow out candles on your birthday. I'm not, well, I can't say I'm not talking about that.

Speaker 1 But I'm just saying, I'm on. It's not specific to Fab.

Speaker 1 It's just, to me, it's like, because if Fab is not doing it because he's worried about the public reaction, then my thing is more about the public than. Like, why do we, are we so, like,

Speaker 1 how ridiculous have we gotten? I ain't willfully obtuse. Nigga, we know what it is already, man.
Like, we know. We know why.
We know. I don't.

Speaker 1 That's it. That shit is stupid.

Speaker 1 Would you blow out the candles? No. Would you blow out the candles? Shut up, Cliff.
I do not believe you. I'm not.

Speaker 1 With you, I will blow out the candles, but I'm the the candles.

Speaker 1 The gate off.

Speaker 1 He said, With you.

Speaker 1 Let's do that again. He said, Give it a game.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, you almost 50, nigga. You almost 50.
Look at you. Crack a gay joke.
I'm saying if we had a birthday,

Speaker 1 if you did that, I would blow out the candles. Pause.

Speaker 1 I would look at you. Are you crazy to fucking take your elbow and your forearm.
If Jim and them is doing it, Maino and them is doing it. It's bad, Cho.
It's something amongst us.

Speaker 1 Of course, if we in the crib, Jim and Maino, you know what else? You blood online? You blow it in the crib. Jim and Maino are fucking absolute sweethearts, yo.
They are. They are absolute sweethearts.

Speaker 1 Maino, if you go to Mayno house, well, have a cake with candles, cupcakes, chicken, some ringettes, and this motherfucker.

Don't answer for him. He's listening.
Ask him. Yo, nigga, you in the background.

You cleared it up for me.

You don't practice the pause, though.

Speaker 1 There's these hooligans.

Speaker 1 If you give me a cake every birthday, I'm blowing it up, pause. I'm blowing it out too, because I ain't gonna say pause.
You keep saying pause. You keep saying pause.
You made it uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 Pen press in the face face. You can blow it up.

Speaker 1 You just can't say pause. Okay, all right.
Just say I'm gonna blow it up. I will extinguish

Speaker 1 the flame with your mouth.

Speaker 1 I will extinguish the flame with my mouth. I will extinguish the flame

Speaker 1 with my lips.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit, with his lips. See, look, look.
Oh, you should work at the box.

Speaker 1 If you can do all that, nigga. Oh, they got an 8 o'clock show waiting for you.

Speaker 1 All right, I feel so much better now.

Speaker 1 Stop it, man. Thank God.
You know, you don't speak to niggas in a while. But George, bro.
Mayno and Fab is on the phone at 1 p.m.

Speaker 1 Yeah, now. All right.
I might pull up on them niggas. Mayno be having good food.
And Jim Malls be having good food. I got to see who's cooking, but we'll see.
What's up? You going, Lil, man?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He said it was Queen Man. He had told him.

Speaker 1 He said it was a little man. I heard him.
I heard him.

Speaker 1 Must be two Queen Splits. Must be another one.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Damn, that's, yeah, that's it.
All right, what else? What else? What else needs us?

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 here's a question I don't want to ask y'all, but I will. Let's hear it.
Had anybody see the Kevin Hart stand-up? No.

Speaker 1 Not yet. Yeah.
I saw it. Not yet.
I am going to watch it at some point. I'm going to watch it too.
I'm going to watch it. I'm going to lay eyes on it, man.
I went saw Wicked last night.

Speaker 1 Kev was supposed to come up here a few weeks ago. I am going to check it out.
But Mark, you said you saw it? Yeah, it saw it too. What'd you think? I said it live.
Oh, you saw it?

Speaker 1 It's go there live. I said something about it, right? Yeah, man.
What'd you think?

Speaker 1 It was good.

Speaker 1 I think for me, Kevin Hart is getting better as a comedian.

Speaker 1 Like, I didn't used to care for him, but the last two shows that I've seen of his have been really funny.

Speaker 1 Way more funnier than he used to be. I wasn't the biggest fan.
Now

Speaker 1 I'm a fan. Fan.
His last two stand-ups are really good. I've never been the biggest Kevin Hart stand-up fan.
I like his acting and roles he plays.

Speaker 1 Sometimes, like, the kid jokes and all that stuff. I don't have kids, so it misses me.
Maybe that's why I like five of them. No, his last two have been really good to me.
Brother Mark?

Speaker 1 These have been my two

Speaker 1 of my favorites of his.

Speaker 1 The early stuff he did on Comedy Central.

Speaker 1 And his first special, I really liked. Some of them I like more than others.
I'm like Parks. I love him as an actor, a comedic actor.
I love all his words.

Speaker 1 A lot of words. No, no, no.
But these last two, I think. He took back the comedy central.

Speaker 1 He took it back.

Speaker 1 Just so plain.

Speaker 1 Comedy is such an ass. I mean, years ago.
Did Mark just start using words for no reason?

Speaker 1 Mark out, man.

Speaker 1 I'm saying I got it. Well, I'm going to find a way to say the truth, too.
I'm going to join. I'm going to leave you on the edge.
I saw it. I know you saw you lying ass like

Speaker 1 you saw it.

Speaker 1 I didn't lying.

Speaker 1 crazy. I was going to let her rock.
Like, this nigga told me he saw it already. Yeah, I was lying.
And I let you live. Did you check it out? No, I know, but I hear you on the edge.

Speaker 1 Then I heard what Isshy had to say. I was like, all right.
I saw it. It wasn't good.
I fucking took a flight yesterday and I downloaded it to my fucking iPad.

Speaker 1 When I was in the hotel room, I hit play on it. I did.
Okay. What happened? It's just,

Speaker 1 it's really clean, family,

Speaker 1 hearty labs.

Speaker 1 It's Kevin Hart

Speaker 1 protecting all his business interests while still being funny doing it. That's why I like it.
It wasn't like not funny. It just

Speaker 1 wasn't. To me, it's not the best Kevin Hart version I like.
Y'all want him edgy? Y'all want him edgy? Yes. That's what it is? Edgier.

Speaker 1 I want him to not try to combine edgy with the family fun. Like he was trying to curse a lot.
Yeah. Like forced curses?

Speaker 1 Check it out. Got it.
All right. Check it out.
Watch it for yourself so we can come back and have an educated conversation about it.

Speaker 1 I like like the one before, the one we talked about to bring up pizza and all that. You know, went to the floor.
Watch the show. This boy right here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, bro. It's all right, bro.
It's cool. Yo, y'all from Philly.
Yeah, we got it. Soul Flame.
Yeah, no, no, no. Payment Soldiers.
Jumaji and Jumaji.

Speaker 1 Jumaji coming out. Jumaji 3.

Speaker 1 People should watch it.

Speaker 1 It's a good special, and it's funny. Family-oriented.

Speaker 1 It's not the version of Kevin that I like the most. That's all.
But it's funny.

Speaker 1 I agree with that. Okay.
I got kids and don't be.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but this is about like

Speaker 1 raising them and stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Shit.

Speaker 1 All that ladies is drunk. They want the dirty shit.

Speaker 1 People mature in life. They can't accept that.
They want dirty and raunchy and crazy stuff. But there's some funny stuff in there.
The whole bit about how he hurt his adductor and all that shit.

Speaker 1 Like, there's some funny stuff in there, really funny stuff in there. That sounds funny.
Yeah, I just, again, I like a different version of him.

Speaker 1 There you have it.

Speaker 1 There you have it. Shout out to Kevin Hart.

Speaker 1 Campbell's Soup.

Speaker 1 Nah, Campbell's. Let's get to the real important shit.
The VP.

Speaker 1 This hurts, man. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to come here and break this story.

Speaker 1 The whistleblower. Yeah, a former Campbell Soup employee recorded one of the Campbell's Soup big dogs in a meeting going off

Speaker 1 about Campbell's Soup. This is another clip that I happen to have saved nine times.
He wasn't missing no clips. I couldn't believe it.
Yeah, no, I couldn't believe it. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I can absolutely believe it. I don't know why this is a shock to anybody.
My grandma. Have you opened a can of Campbell's soup lately?

Speaker 1 Have you ever seen them little chicken pieces in the chicken soup?

Speaker 1 That shit is not noodles nor chicken. You got breaking news.
Breaking news. I just opened up my phone to go to the clip.

Speaker 1 Looks like,

Speaker 1 I don't know if this is real. I got to check.
50 Cents Diddy Netflix series, Sean Combs, The Reckoning, sets December release date. Yeah, I saw that.
December 2nd. December 2nd.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's next week. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let me see. But look at the photo they picked.
Like, awesome.

Speaker 1 All right. Anyway, let me go get this clip.

Speaker 1 Let me go get this clip.

Speaker 1 They said the Campbell soup is made, the chicken is made by

Speaker 1 3D printer. Oh, no, that's that.
That's real.

Speaker 1 That's the Diddy shit. Netflix.
All right, here we go. A four-part documentary.
Oh, uh.

Speaker 1 And that's just part of an over an hour-long rant. So, final security analyst for Campbell's, Robert Garza of Monroe.
I don't buy Campbell's products. Barely anymore.
So I don't think.

Speaker 1 Now that I know what the f is in it, even in a soup. I look at it.
Look at me. Pop bioengineer me.

Speaker 1 I don't want to eat a

Speaker 1 piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer. You? The recording allegedly of Campbell's VP and chief information security officer, Martin Bally.

Speaker 1 He has

Speaker 1 no filter. Bally, along with supervision of the Campbell Soup Company, named in a lawsuit filed Thursday.

Speaker 1 The suit claiming Bally made racist remarks, admits to coming to work high, and Garza fired for coming forward. What do you think about the things that he was saying?

Speaker 1 Oh, just pure disgust.

Speaker 1 Shut your red ass up.

Speaker 1 It does sound disgusting in his defense. Okay, what? I already know what he's thinking.
If I were to Campbell's soup, I would go high, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Because why? I mean, what the fuck? You got to 3D print this chicken?

Speaker 1 It's a new, interesting way.

Speaker 1 It's made. We got froth to print.
It's made for fucking poor people. I'm not eating that shit.
I don't know what's in it. That's what he said.

Speaker 1 I mean, I had never thought about that. Is that true? The Campbell soup is just for poor people? You know how much it can cost? Like, when you get money, do you...
No, he don't.

Speaker 1 When you get money, do you move on to Progresso?

Speaker 1 When the last time you ate a a Campbell's.

Speaker 1 When I was poor? I haven't.

Speaker 1 Since when?

Speaker 1 Since he gave up his fucking stock.

Speaker 1 Since childhood.

Speaker 1 Since you had choices. Since childhood.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's. Dog, I might have stock in Campbell's soup right now.
I thought you sold your shit. I don't know about this.
Salted. Now, you said your grandma gave me soup.
My grandma gave it.

Speaker 1 She said that was the guaranteed stock back.

Speaker 1 Your shit plummeting because of the 3D printer right now. Damn.
It's fucked up. Sell now.
I better sell. Yeah, bro.
Don't let Dana down.

Speaker 1 Y'all don't eat Campbell's soup today. No.

Speaker 1 It's been a while.

Speaker 1 I don't think canned soup too much is too salty, but I don't really know. But if I did, it wouldn't be that one.

Speaker 1 Once I learned how easy it was to make chicken noodle soup, I just started making that shit myself. Yeah, hell tastes like that.
Yes, it does. Like Campbell's?

Speaker 1 No, it don't taste like Campbell's.

Speaker 1 It tastes a lot better than Campbell's. Cold water and fucking,

Speaker 1 bruh. Ain't one vegetable in that shit.
Nothing.

Speaker 1 That shit ain't soup. It's broth.
Them noodles do be rocking, though. I ain't gonna hold it.
Okay, no soup is is good now. Yeah, that shit do be like, yo, I don't know about the little chicken.

Speaker 1 I might still do a tomato. Camels? Yeah.
I'm not touching that shit. Nah,

Speaker 1 of course not. Type fruit don't smoke.
I'm not eating it. What I'm saying is,

Speaker 1 that shit was good when we was kids. Facts.
That's because you grow chicken. We ain't know no better.
It was real when we was a kid. I don't know if it was ever real.
It might not be real.

Speaker 1 We ain't know no better. We don't ever think that, huh? Y'all really don't think it's real? No.
No. The chicken? We just heard the CEO say that the real world.
Have you seen the chicken?

Speaker 1 I haven't heard the VP say. You haven't seen.
You're not the VP of cooking. You motherfuckers.

Speaker 1 He's the security VP. Yeah, you think he got the secret recipes? I think it's smart as shit.
You can just look at the back of the can.

Speaker 1 Go open a can of chicken noodle soup and look at the chicken. Yeah, you tell me if you think that's chicken.
I think it's all processed, but I think it's real, a real animal.

Speaker 1 I think it's a real chicken. You? Yeah, me.
I don't know if you worked here when I told the story about how my family was getting money with Campbell's soup, but

Speaker 1 it probably wasn't real.

Speaker 1 And if it was real,

Speaker 1 it wasn't the part you want.

Speaker 1 At all.

Speaker 1 At all. I don't even want to know what your family was doing to know that Lee was.
That's nothing but chicken dicks in there.

Speaker 1 That's nothing but chicken dicks. The chicken got a dick.

Speaker 1 Chicken dick soup, man.

Speaker 1 Chicken dick soup.

Speaker 1 Oh, y'all. Y'all nasty.

Speaker 1 Y'all really nasty. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 I would tell you more, but it would be unearthing Deep Dark Family Secrets. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I would get phone calls

Speaker 1 about it. But

Speaker 1 before 3D printing chicken came out, they had some other tricks.

Speaker 1 Other 3Ds in the soup. That hurts.

Speaker 1 I wonder how much money this dude was looking to get. It seemed like they got him.
They had the rights.

Speaker 1 If he'll say that,

Speaker 1 and he was saying that shit passionately.

Speaker 1 You could tell my man's mouth is reckless.

Speaker 1 You can say he was saying he got a bad thing. They should have paid him.
They should have paid him. Whatever

Speaker 1 call him a rag, get the fuck out of here, man. It's always somebody at the top who got the unfiltered, reckless mouth.
Here, you're going to pause.

Speaker 1 You're going to come in, start taping everything, and take it to court.

Speaker 1 Taping people is crazy. I just, I have no respect for people who do that.

Speaker 1 What, taping? Yeah, like secretly recording conversations and all that shit. I hate that.
That's why I don't even talk to people, yo. That talking to people shit.
Yeah, sorry. You get risky.

Speaker 1 I don't know what nobody's intentional, man.

Speaker 1 And I'm saying foul shit, nigga.

Speaker 1 i'm not saying i'm not saying that's clean cut i'm saying thinking it's a private conversation

Speaker 1 yeah it's a private convo yeah man

Speaker 1 anyways you can't do that if you once you get high and not talking i gotta go get that campaign out my uh camera what you say mark

Speaker 1 no i just said speaking of not talking we have um

Speaker 1 some bad news what

Speaker 1 a podcast is

Speaker 1 falling yeah that shit hurt me that should hurt

Speaker 1 That was a depressing ride in, man. I had to find some happy music to play after that.
Yeah, I didn't like this one. Yeah, it made me sad to hear.

Speaker 1 For those of you that don't know, Savon, our friend and family, our good brother,

Speaker 1 and Alex. Yeah,

Speaker 1 the good brother. They had decided to call it quits, put a temporary hold on their podcast.
Temporarily, indefinite hold on. Indefinite.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They sounded like they didn't know when they would come back or if they would ever come back. A lot of people were confused about that there was a lot of chatter online uh

Speaker 1 i was in the air when the news broke i was busy with some but uh this morning before work i gave my good brother a call and i said uh listen i've worked with you too long to not give you a courtesy call before i go in there and press play on this

Speaker 1 queen

Speaker 1 I spoke to him. He sounds like he's in good spirits.
He said the same about Alex. Good.

Speaker 1 And from what I gather from what he was saying,

Speaker 1 not saying too much, but just

Speaker 1 potting and lifing at the same time is hard. It's hard, you know.

Speaker 1 There's no other explanation for it. I'm not going to shoot him too much, Bill.
Well, at least not before I play the joint. We've done too much talking already.
Yeah, you need something.

Speaker 1 I love you, man. But you've worked with us long enough.
You know how this goes, man. He's still got to give me that nasty bass.

Speaker 1 yes, sir.

Speaker 1 I never wanted to play this with a need to know, boys. No, man.

Speaker 1 I didn't see it coming. Me, the two really talented brothers, man.
Two people that we working to.

Speaker 1 Who gonna do the mixer now?

Speaker 1 Hey.

Speaker 1 Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this? Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?

Speaker 1 Out of the dumb way of bullets.

Speaker 1 To the side of the free, yeah.

Speaker 1 Another one bites the dust. This hurts me more than it hurts you, man.

Speaker 1 Another one bites the dust.

Speaker 1 And another one down. And another one down.
Another one bites the dust.

Speaker 1 Hey, I'm gonna get you too. Another one bites the dust.

Speaker 1 Hey,

Speaker 1 hate to hear it.

Speaker 1 Hate to know, boys. It looks like they've recorded what looks to be probably their final episode, man.
Both these brothers got jobs and careers and other ways that they're getting money.

Speaker 1 I would like to see this podcast come back. Me too.
I thought they were super entertaining and informative,

Speaker 1 especially for their age range. Like I was a fan.
Me too. And it hurts.
It hurts. I never like to see anybody that comes from the Joe Budden family tree stop recording.
Well, it may be a few of y'all.

Speaker 1 It wasn't supposed to be.

Speaker 1 Say Von and Alex, man.

Speaker 1 God damn it. I love you guys.
Anything y'all need, man, give me a call. Y'all know I'm always supporting you.
Yeah, Savon, Alex. We love you, man.
We love y'all, man. That one.

Speaker 1 Hey, salute to all the former co-hosts, Steph and Reggie, and everybody. True.
Shout out to everybody out there trucking it through this podcast and shit. It's not as easy as podcasters make it look.

Speaker 1 And when podcasters are going through things, sometimes it's hard to see it.

Speaker 1 They're not coming on air and just telling you about all their trials and tribulations and hurdles that they got to fight through. It is tough.

Speaker 1 It is tough.

Speaker 1 Is there a mistake that, and I'm not talking about Savona and Alex anymore, just in general, these podcasters who come in and think it's easier than it is. Like, what's the mistake they make?

Speaker 1 Is there something they miss?

Speaker 1 To me, from the conversations I heard on their pod, it sounded like they were maybe on the same page with certain things. It didn't sound like

Speaker 1 Patreon, for example, it sounded like they didn't really have the same vision for certain things. I think teamwork ultimately is to answer that question.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you're not playing as a team, it's going to be hard to be successful.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing in the podcast game, what I learned, right? When you first get into it, people look at Joe and us and other people who think that there's a lot of money to get, which there is.

Speaker 1 But they don't, not them,

Speaker 1 removing it from them. People don't know how to go through the rough patch.
Like after the first 12 episodes, right, a lot of people quit. They don't have to.

Speaker 1 There's a rough patch you got to go go through it. A lot of people depend on guests.
A lot of people depend on different things.

Speaker 1 And when that runs out, then you have to be creative, you have to be original, and you have to know the lane that you're going in.

Speaker 1 And even if it goes, because it's so many podcasts, even if it slows down, you have to stick through it.

Speaker 1 Just go back home. And, you know, I'm not talking about them, but I know a lot of people, they quit.

Speaker 1 I quit.

Speaker 1 I tell the story all the time. I didn't get that far.
How many episodes did you do? Like two or three? No, we did eight, seven, something like that.

Speaker 1 Like my podcast, I did like 300 or something episodes. It was just dealing with the people who was a headache for me, but I remember just got to figure it out.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Think about pod,

Speaker 1 and not even podding, but

Speaker 1 anything broadcast or having to do with the fans that I was doing early on, I just loved doing that.

Speaker 1 That's a big part of it. That's a major part of it.
I think both of them, well, I guess we're not talking specifically, they both loved the business, though. Yeah.
Yeah, they did.

Speaker 1 But outside of them, a lot of people, like Flip said, you see the numbers, you think, oh, I could jump in here and go make some money real quick. Right, right.

Speaker 1 You don't have the right chemistry. You don't have the right to change.
But I'm not questioning nobody's love for it.

Speaker 1 You got to love it enough

Speaker 1 for that love to carry you when you hate it. Yeah.
That's true.

Speaker 1 You got to love it enough for when everything is burning to the ground. That's the fuel that you're running off of.
Like, I blog TV'd for free. You stream for free.

Speaker 1 The old, old, old, old pod for free. The first time we did this pod for the first three years was free.
And I'm talking about free.

Speaker 1 Today, if you niggas is doing it for free, at least y'all can see where money is coming from. There's Netflix now dumping money into podcasts, and Spotify had their run.

Speaker 1 They got all of the sports, the sports shits dumping money. You could see it somewhat.
In 2015, you could not see no money.

Speaker 1 Where will this come from? True. We just, if you're not doing it for free, that's why that was like the golden era of of this shit.
If you was good and doing it, then you had to love it.

Speaker 1 You had to love it. It wasn't a dime.
The most you was going to get was fucking a couple hundred grand from Corderlab or iHeart or just somebody. But it's tough.

Speaker 1 I look the same way as the music industry. Like, there was a time when niggas wasn't making money.
It was just rapping for the love of being

Speaker 1 rappers. Rappers.
And then you started to see that and it made everybody else say, oh, you know what? They get money over there. I'm not good at it.
I don't really want to do it.

Speaker 1 I want to do it to springboard to something else. But let me me just go in here because that's where the money is it's instant gratification though too like if you they

Speaker 1 people

Speaker 1 ever since covet people were trying to when a lot of people were starting podcasts and wanting to be entrepreneurs and stuff like that people just go in it with the intent of i want to make a lot of money yeah there's a lot of money here but that's not how i work with this at all and i'm gonna be fooled

Speaker 1 no i was gonna say something even more simple it's people don't work that hard you're right you know i just meet a lot of people that just aren't willing to work very hard to be successful.

Speaker 1 Immediate gratification. Yeah.
And if you don't work hard, it's not going to happen. I mean, almost nobody comes out the gate as a hit.
Right. You know, you're saying people don't work hard.

Speaker 1 I want to add to that. People don't work smart.
Facts.

Speaker 1 You got to get more details to that. But

Speaker 1 I think the education comes later. Yeah, you got to give them a little more detail.
You said people are going to be a little bit more detailed.

Speaker 1 If you're lucky, you would fall in 3% of those that go get the education later. What's happening, and I'll speak for our sector of podcasting.
Niggas, like we say, go and take a check.

Speaker 1 This is not Savon and Alex time now. I don't know what they did.
Yeah, let's remove them from that. Niggas will go and just take a check

Speaker 1 based off where they are, right? And now you end up building somebody else's business. Now you've attracted this audience that loves you.
They love you and what you're doing.

Speaker 1 And all the goodwill and faith and effort and hard work, blood, sweat, and tears that you're putting in is not going to you. So it's all these black podcasters, but nobody's building a business.

Speaker 1 Nobody's building a business. I'm the last bet standing.

Speaker 1 Everybody else got a deal.

Speaker 1 Whatever new opportunities come, whatever new ventures, new windows, new companies that went and borrowed some money that come and they're trying to build some audience, they can't even talk to y'all.

Speaker 1 Y'all in deals. They got to go talk to iART, Spotify, Barstool.

Speaker 1 They can't talk to you.

Speaker 1 Because of my music

Speaker 1 industry history, I never want to be in a situation where I can't talk about the good work that I'm putting in, where I got to send you the fucking Def Jam about the hot Joe Budden song that Def Jam is gonna take and put on every soundtrack in the world.

Speaker 1 My love don't cost a thing.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no, no. You have to speak to me about my shit.

Speaker 1 I feel like that should be on page one of the pamphlet. A lot of people want turnkey though, Joe.
A lot of people just want to go show up,

Speaker 1 sit down and record and go home. Everybody doesn't have the admiration, ambition.
And you know, you know what?

Speaker 1 And then go through what you went through. I'm sorry, pardon me, though.
Pardon me. Your vantage point that you had, you never had a job.
I had a job. Listen, I'm not trying to be funny.

Speaker 1 You're serious, nigga. I know.
And Wiz. And the Wiz.
And the Wiz. Partners.
And Wiz.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh.
No, no, no. I think that

Speaker 1 most people have a nine of five background. So them getting a check is normal to survival for most individuals.
Everybody don't have the music business or drug dealing.

Speaker 1 Just drug dealing. Like all the drug dealers that excel in the music business, it's because they came from running an operation, running a business.
Drug dealing is a business. Right.

Speaker 1 So they came from that side of it. So they don't necessarily adhere to, yo, I'm going to get a check for my work.
This is my work, and I'm going to put into it, and I get out of it what I put into it.

Speaker 1 And I think that that's where you had a vantage point. There's a lot of rappers in podcasting.
There are people that came from education or education, from entertainment or

Speaker 1 something in the arts or whatever in podcasting. That are still just

Speaker 1 taking a check or trying to take a check. The other one, my vantage point is that you should be able to speak to.
I'm nuts. You are.

Speaker 1 I agree with that. I'm a psycho-lunatic.
So some shit. I can't tell nobody to take my path because I was nuts and I wouldn't advise those decisions to nobody else.

Speaker 1 Niggas got mouths to feed, babies, families, girlfriends, bills.

Speaker 1 People ask me, I think a lot of it to me is ego-based. And I think,

Speaker 1 and I think that, because every show I do, they ask me this. And I'm like, yo, I think people look at other people doing it and be like, oh, if he could do it.
Oh, I know I could do it.

Speaker 1 Right. I think a lot of people, even in the rap game, look at you and be like, oh, if that nigga could do it, oh, I know I could do it.

Speaker 1 Especially somebody that they may not view in a certain favorable light.

Speaker 1 It's like, you know, when you see the nigga that you look at like a da-dun-da-dun, but he got the bad girl. You're like, oh, if he can hit it, oh, I know I can hit it.
And she like,

Speaker 1 fam, if you don't get your ass away from me. So I think a lot of that is, yo, I'm smart.
I'm funny. I'm witty.
I do this in the barbershop all the time.

Speaker 1 And you think that's just going to translate to a million people. And I think you are sadly mistaken and your ego is too big.

Speaker 1 You got to be provocative, you got to be funny, you got to be informative. Like, it's a lot of components that go in, and you got to work hard at it, you got to get better at it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that people won't even like watch.

Speaker 1 Like, if you're just starting a podcast, you got to study your audience, you got to study yourself, you got to improve your craft, you got to watch yourself 10 times and see where you did this and where you did that.

Speaker 1 The little things that people don't do is what successful people do all the time, and watch other people's shit. Yes,

Speaker 1 to get a bar for production and show. Like, yeah, if you just freestyle and shit, oh, this is a funny little thing, yeah, but that's not what SNL does, right? You know what I'm saying, or fucking

Speaker 1 late night, or I watched SNL last week, man, they must have introduced 300 motherfuckers in there. Oh, they got a whole new roster, yo.

Speaker 1 That intro is law. Yeah, yeah.
Like, goddamn, they got a lot of money.

Speaker 1 Motherfuckers on here. Yeah.
But back to your podcasters, man. I've been preaching it up here.

Speaker 1 The only reason I stopped preaching it up here, like, this podcast was kind of built on preaching it, but I stopped because I see what y'all want to do. Y'all want to take these checks so i'm

Speaker 1 talking to nobody but it's no excuse for podcasters on episode one three seven ten thirteen and fifteen to call me talking about well where can i get a check from

Speaker 1 exactly i'm just not gonna understand it and it kicked my back in when i say yo don't

Speaker 1 don't take a check Yeah, yeah, I got in this to get a check, my nigga. What are you talking about? Yeah, I don't, I don't.
It's the same. Again, I see a lot of parallels with music.

Speaker 1 We sit here, you hear all this talk. Yo, go independent, go this, go that.
And then there's a lot of rappers that I don't want to do that. I am looking for a check.
I'm looking for a label.

Speaker 1 I'm looking for a situation here where I can just go and record and y'all do everything else. Same thing with podcast.
Don't look at me for the model of that.

Speaker 1 There's no company out there that's going to pay y'all the money I'm earning.

Speaker 1 And when you learn that, you'll more so want to give yourself a shot to go see what you could do on your own.

Speaker 1 Nah, I wait.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but see the part. I disagree.
I disagree too because the part

Speaker 1 you went. No, no, not that part.
No, I ain't talking about that part. But you went how long without making money?

Speaker 1 That's the part that a lot of people they're not willing to do. Let's say you had 20 million, which

Speaker 1 that's a low. We know.

Speaker 1 What I'm saying is some niggas are content with two. Their tax is going to crack me this year.
Some niggas content with three. They don't need the 20.
Three is more than they've ever seen.

Speaker 1 That's how they're thinking. I noticed how they think.
You know what I'm saying? Three is. nigga, $800,000 is more than a lot of these niggas ever seen.

Speaker 1 What I'm saying is, I agree with what you're saying. I'm saying those people would be looking at it wrong.
Yes, $3 million

Speaker 1 will do more than suffice.

Speaker 1 But, okay, now when that deal runs up

Speaker 1 and the people that were paying you look at you and say, thank you. We've gotten your audience.
We've gotten their habits. We see where they spend.
We see the sites that they go to.

Speaker 1 And we found your replacement. Fucking Pablo came here and talked about, what do you call it? Vorp.

Speaker 1 Value.

Speaker 1 Value over replacement.

Speaker 1 So when they do that and say, thank you for your time, we appreciate you. So you got 3 million for a year or two years

Speaker 1 or three years. Now what? What do you say to, I'm agreeing with you.
We're just having a conversation. What do you say to the people that follow Call Her Daddy and what she did?

Speaker 1 She's an outlier, of course. That's what I tell them.
She's an outlier. But I'm just saying, if somebody's looking at that model, they might not want to get, well, she got 125, 150, something crazy.

Speaker 1 Something nuts. But they, again,

Speaker 1 her five-year run has been meteoric.

Speaker 1 She started kind of meteoric.

Speaker 1 They started meteoric. That's why, that's why, that's another reason why it's the outlier.
But from she partnered with somebody who

Speaker 1 was up to barstool. Barstool was doing it in the space.

Speaker 1 So her and her partner with Barstool, they had a good deal, took off catastrophic, had problems, was able to get out of that at a time when another company was spending all the money in the world, did that.

Speaker 1 When that company stopped, you ran into another company that was spending all the money in the world. I'm not even allowed to go in the serious building.
That's a joke.

Speaker 1 I could go in there, but they won't call me. Like, when you on the chessboard, everybody ain't going to be allowed the same calls in the same plays.
That worked for her. She's great.

Speaker 1 She's great and it worked. She's the outlier.
That's not everyone's story to be able to go from one company, get the big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big bag.

Speaker 1 And to another one company, go from

Speaker 1 get an even bigger bag. Leave your partner.
Start from scratch. Do it by yourself.
Go to another company, get the biggest bag. Like, that's a, that's that.
That don't work every day.

Speaker 1 We in fairy tale land. That's not every day.

Speaker 1 Especially if you black. Yeah.
Not to bring race into it, but you kind of have to. Especially if you black.
I agree. Them white people don't get the same.

Speaker 1 Black people have governors on these apps and websites that the white people don't have, but I'm not about the white black us to death. We have a different plight than they have.

Speaker 1 It's tough for everybody, white and black, but

Speaker 1 give yourself a shot.

Speaker 1 Don't just sell out the second that somebody calls you, the second that a Steve Stout called, the second, I'm just naming names, but anybody that can help, you just, here's the rights.

Speaker 1 Dog, you didn't even try to build it yourself. You didn't even try to make it have value.

Speaker 1 It's like owning a house you just want to sell the house as is or do you want to try to fix up the bathroom a little bit fix the stove make it look decent do something to raise the value of this

Speaker 1 it just does not make sense i'm preaching to deaf people because are taking checks and i can't stop you in this economy but that ain't the way i'm never gonna do that and to answer your question you said you know you You get that three mil for the year or whatever the case may be.

Speaker 1 What happens next? In their mind, if I got three here, I'll go find another three.

Speaker 1 Or

Speaker 1 I'm gonna learn a little bit more. The next time I could get seven.
Where's my song at? I don't want to play another one, but where's my song that I say to these motherfuckers? Oh, look, baby.

Speaker 1 Here we go.

Speaker 1 Come on, man.

Speaker 1 What are we talking about? What are we talking about?

Speaker 1 If you wake up and play that song, how could you go sell all your rights off?

Speaker 1 How?

Speaker 1 How you go to the companies and say, yo, hey, whatever y'all want to do, just do it.

Speaker 1 Here, here, hey, put the stitched ads on my shit. Hey, put 900 stitched ads in my shit.
Oh, what else you want to do? You want to sell our shit to Cadillac? Go ahead.

Speaker 1 You want to put our shit in Pepsi? You go ahead and negotiate it. Come back.
Give me what's left over after that.

Speaker 1 It all sounds nuts to me. It sounds nuts.
I think I was like, I get it. I'm not going to be a good person.

Speaker 1 describe there because i'm that person you speaking of niggas that don't even understand they right what'd you say mark i'm that person like i don't think my my instinct isn't to think entrepreneurly you know and when things are intense i'm like i need a check and i don't it's not that i don't want to own shit but it's not my priority yeah you know what i'm saying and so

Speaker 1 sometimes i don't have i don't feel like i had a luxury of of of investing long-term. It's like the episode of Atlanta when he was like, you know, poor people can't think about investing.

Speaker 1 It's like, sometimes you think, like, I got to make a move now, and I'd rather make $500,000 now than $5 million in 10 years or in two years or three years.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying it's the right or wrong attitude, but I get how people arrive there.

Speaker 1 I see how it happens. And I get why you don't do it, but you're wired different.
I can't do it. You're wired different.
I'm not. You and Ish, just as an example, are wired the same way on that regard.

Speaker 1 I'm not.

Speaker 1 No, you're telling me that. That nigga talk about, yo, fix the bathroom.
How much you said?

Speaker 1 Yo, don't take this housewives,

Speaker 1 she burning my hands. Ah, fuck, you talking about it.
No,

Speaker 1 I believe it's a case-by-case basis. But I believe to do this, again, these rules I'm saying are for.

Speaker 1 I believe the people that are great at it,

Speaker 1 right? Like maybe you should listen to me if you're mediocre at this or are full of doubt and don't really have faith in what you're doing.

Speaker 1 But if you have faith in what you're doing, then there's no excuse to not give yourself a shot.

Speaker 1 Like if you really believe that you wanted them, and I'm not saying that you can't do what you saying and what I'm saying at the same time. You couldn't believe in it.
You could.

Speaker 1 But don't do one and not the other, especially when it comes to getting paid off the back end.

Speaker 1 Especially.

Speaker 1 Speaking to a special group of people, bro. Yeah, you are.
That's it. And an educated group of people.
That's a sad boy.

Speaker 1 Our environment doesn't allow us, you know, a lot of people.

Speaker 1 What's going on in today's society, money is a quick fix. Instant gratification is a quick fix for your problems initially, and your niggas will sell ass to get it.

Speaker 1 And then we get it.

Speaker 1 It takes a certain type of vigor to just go through that storm, to sit there and say no. Things is closing in on you.

Speaker 1 It's just going to pass. Let me not pick up this call for whoever I owe money to.
That's going to pass. You have to have patience and discipline to say that when I get it, I'll take care of it.

Speaker 1 If it come, it come. That's a different type of mentality and believing in yourself.

Speaker 1 And honestly, to your call her daddy point, if that were my story, I wouldn't be like this like i don't want to make it sound like i'm on some glacier standing by myself if i were able to go places and get my value time after time after time then i would be marked i would have that or you would have been them if if i i don't know your business but if spotify came with the right bag you might have taken that bag and not have taken this particular journey that you took if spotify would have came with the right bag I would have took it.

Speaker 1 And the only thing to stop me from taking it would have been the fear of what happens when this is over. Because if you give it to me once, you definitely don't want to give it to me twice.

Speaker 1 Like, as black people that's trying to move around in this space, you got to know it's way more roadblocks for us.

Speaker 1 There's people on these executive boards, in these C-suites, there's fucking stakeholders that it's too many approvals that black people have to get for you to get your checks.

Speaker 1 All right, you got it once. You think you're going to get it twice and three times?

Speaker 1 And that's where the false sense of security come in too. Because again, if that first deal came quick and easy, you think I can do this again.

Speaker 1 Well, see, my brain would have been like, yo, I'm going to take y'all money. And even when y'all shut the door,

Speaker 1 y'all can't take the money back. So now I could build my own infrastructure.

Speaker 1 Even if I wanted to go the entrepreneurial route, I'm going to take y'all money and allow y'all money to fund my own infrastructure. And that's how my brain works.
So I'll be in the middle.

Speaker 1 That's a great way to go. You see what I'm saying? That's a great way to go.
But I want to encourage people out there, right? Like some of these rules don't apply. I am my own economy.

Speaker 1 You know I'll be carrying it.

Speaker 1 these don't apply to me, but I encourage everybody out there to at least attempt to be your own builder. Got to.
Fail a few times before you say, you know what? Trump.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go over here and take this bag. I agree with that.
This is why this nigga put this. It's worth it.
He believe in that. He believes in that.
It's worth it. No, he do.
I agree. He do.

Speaker 1 He believe in that even for his niggas.

Speaker 1 He appreciated a nigga that just come in and get to it now because it helped fund the shit. But he also believes.
That's why I think those conversations are pivotal.

Speaker 1 That's why I'd be mad at you when you be shooting at the eyo niggas and like that sometimes but do i shoot sometimes yes you do sometimes before before not

Speaker 1 he be playing

Speaker 1 fun but i don't really i love them but i i promote them because again they oh they

Speaker 1 even if they did it by mistake they awakened a level of awareness and consciousness in our people to be even having these types of conversations i think before them he has to go there and see the impact and shit like he has to go i've been there i know that i know there's totally

Speaker 1 totally different when you go there with them niggas you have to see well i'm an injury so i'm not never going i'm not doing it again but uh any joke i got against the uio is all in fine yeah like the shit about them going to terror jay whatnot that wasn't fun that wasn't fun they just be outside all the time but it's in fun i love them i love everything that they're doing i love what 520 is doing it's too many different pods i love what y'all doing and it's too many of us that's great out there now

Speaker 1 see that's the thing When this thing was starting, it might have been a lot of mediocrity around. It's a lot of greatness.
It is. You know the problem in that?

Speaker 1 The greatness is separated.

Speaker 1 Through whatever means, it's always a divide. It's never a you, Charlemagne, these people, these people attack

Speaker 1 as a collective. It's always, I'm just giving you my observation.
It's always a division so that we can't never like team up like Voltron and hold the white people to the fire. We got to attack them.

Speaker 1 You shoot one gun. I'm going to shoot a gun.
I'm going to shoot a gun. As opposed to us shooting one big-ass bazooka at the establishment.
establishment, it's always some level of division.

Speaker 1 And I think sometimes that shit is beat by design. Tee, I disagree with that.

Speaker 1 I think that's a common misconception. Me and Charlamagne may not be.
Let me talk. I just use this.
I know, I know, but I like that example, so I want to use it.

Speaker 1 Me and him might not be kumbaya, but he's, he got a whole, he's the leader of a whole hood. He got a whole section of people where they do, they doing community.

Speaker 1 Same with me, right? Like, when 520 came in, we off off talking to the side. Every other month, I'm on with Tank.
I'm on with Sean Stockman. I'm on with fucking,

Speaker 1 we getting to it, trying to correct

Speaker 1 some of the missteps that have been had before.

Speaker 1 Trying to just leave the trail so other people could, yo, how are we doing this? How do you get to it?

Speaker 1 Like, I do think that we talk, me and Gil, fucking, when I see Steven Jackson, Matt Barnes, dumb nigga, you're...

Speaker 1 Like, there is a community. I mean, you just got to kind of find it.

Speaker 1 We're not all beefing and just hating each other and just full of division like they once told us we were.

Speaker 1 It may be a few of us here and there, but I'm talking about the niggas that's really good at this. I'm talking about the people that are really good at this.
Like the information piece be

Speaker 1 what

Speaker 1 seemingly, because y'all, I'm not. SO, I told him when I went up to any podcast I ever went to, at the end of it, I told them niggas, yo, anything you need, pull up.

Speaker 1 Hookah spot, let's kick it, talk, math, was doing it with any podcast that it comes my way. I give it to you.
I don't gatekeep the information.

Speaker 1 Now, what you do when you get it.

Speaker 1 Well, it might not be the information they thought they was going to hear. Yeah, that's usually.
That's using two news. That's impossible.
Like, you giving the information. Oh, wait, that?

Speaker 1 Oh, that's not what I wanted to hear from you. And now I'm not.
Because today, Nick,

Speaker 1 today, because I did what I did, niggas are coming to me for the check. And when I give them the information, they almost look at it like, nigga, I asked for the check.

Speaker 1 Like, I didn't ask for the information. Like, you got it.
You know I'm good. Hire me.
See, I don't do that with the people that are even supposed to give me a check. I'm done convincing.

Speaker 1 The convincing game is over. The honeymoon fake, we did all of that.
If you're not giving it to me, I'm going to get it. Get out of my way.
The end.

Speaker 1 There you have it. There you have it.
Yeah. Sorry.
No, that's dope. That was dope.
Necessarily. Pardon me.

Speaker 1 Yo, I see you wrote something on the board. What's up?

Speaker 1 Cash Money Reunion. Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 This one hurt.

Speaker 1 Last Friday, Cash Money did their

Speaker 1 reunion tour happening.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the stop was in UBS out in Long Island. You went? No.
I'm glad I didn't go.

Speaker 1 Because the Cash Money Reunion tour, which was supposed to be the Hot Boys, the Big Timers, you know,

Speaker 1 all Cash Money. Yeah.
Was

Speaker 1 BG and Juvenile. Oh.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 That's it. No, Manny? BG and Juvenile.
yikes

Speaker 1 Why what happened? What these things going on freeze? What do I think? Yes, same thing I said the niggas don't like each other.

Speaker 1 There's there's business that we don't fuck with everybody don't fuck with each other

Speaker 1 That's the same thing I told y'all about the Versus

Speaker 1 There is some disconnects here

Speaker 1 Turk was kicked off the tour because they he's actually suing them. They've been counter suing him.
There's lawsuits involved over there.

Speaker 1 Wayne's been on his own thing.

Speaker 1 Like, there's there's, it's, I would have think, I would at least thought Baby and Manny would be at the

Speaker 1 cash money

Speaker 1 reunion.

Speaker 1 Cash month.

Speaker 1 I'm sure they own the

Speaker 1 trademark cash money. Like, I'm sure they own something.
Like, yo, y'all can't add this shit unless we say okay.

Speaker 1 They was on some of the dates before. I don't know what happened.

Speaker 1 Again, there's, there's something going on.

Speaker 1 Is there a point as a fan where you could be like, this ain't what I signed up for? I want my money back. Like, how many people got beat it for the even cat was a reunion?

Speaker 1 More than two. That's what I mean.
Yeah, yeah, for real. Yeah.
For real. I think if I'd have gone, I would have wanted my money back.
We had that in the slaughterhouse show contracts.

Speaker 1 It had to be three of y'all there for it to be slaughtered. That's what I'm saying, right? Yeah.
Yeah. It should be.
Makes sense.

Speaker 1 Hmm.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm so sorry for everybody that went, but

Speaker 1 that's a damn shame.

Speaker 1 That's a damn shame.

Speaker 1 All right. What? It's a damn shame.
shame. What happened?

Speaker 1 What happened to Craig, man? No, it's

Speaker 1 damn shame. Some niggas is like, I ain't got to do that.

Speaker 1 I know when we go on tour, there needs to be at least three of us there.

Speaker 1 When we do our tour, how many are going to have to be there? We're never touring.

Speaker 1 That's where every month it changes.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. I never.
My touring day is over.

Speaker 1 I'm never going on tour again.

Speaker 1 It's over for that. Okay.
But like local, like

Speaker 1 some

Speaker 1 couple of pop-up shows. Yeah.
I'm with that. Okay, but

Speaker 1 that will never happen. Fair enough.

Speaker 1 Sorry, you missed that one.

Speaker 1 Missed that one, buddy. That's a great era.
Figured out how to do this shit

Speaker 1 from the couch, boy.

Speaker 1 Y'all go out. Yeah, you're not going to be able to do that.
I'm never going to leave the house. Sell your merch.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I ain't leaving the house. But yeah, if you pop-up shows, I'm not mad at that.

Speaker 1 We got to do that. What you said we making at that venue?

Speaker 1 Then it's that.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Because we do the shows, I'm not going to make no money. I ain't going to make a dime.
How you figure?

Speaker 1 Because I have a calculator.

Speaker 1 That's why.

Speaker 1 I have a calculator. Yo, I hate when he does this.
I do too.

Speaker 1 This is smoking screen shit, nigga. Yo, it's not a smoke screen.
He's 100% honest. He's right.
He's a big money. He's right.
No, I'm not a dime. He's not a dumbass.
Not a dime.

Speaker 1 Cigarette money. Paying production.
But you're making money. You're not going to make cigarette money.
Not the money that you're paying for. It's not money.
It's not nothing.

Speaker 1 So are you talking about paying money? I'm talking real money on, boy. Let me ask you a question.
You're talking that money on. Because a lot of people use that as smoke screen.

Speaker 1 I got to pay production. I got to pay y'all.
I got to pay this. I got to pay that.
Why do you think that's a smoking screen? You're not dumb. What?

Speaker 1 Let me finish my statement. You're not dumb.
I don't think you're gonna get into any situation where you're going to not make the money that you want to make.

Speaker 1 Which is why he said I'm not going on tour. Yeah, but fuck the tour.

Speaker 1 He said he's still going to do a pop-up show.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. I'll do a pop-up show.
You're going to not make no money. That's a courtesy.
That's not. What's no money mean? That's not slaving.
All right. It means.
Can I try?

Speaker 1 Less than seven figures. All right.
Let's just say. No, no, no, don't do that, Mark, because they serious.
No, no, no, no. No, because I'm thinking about last.
I'm talking about old shit. That's why.

Speaker 1 I'm thinking about old shit. Wasn't this shit.
Listen, if you, let's just say,

Speaker 1 bro, I'm listening to you guys.

Speaker 1 I can say this. Let's hypothetically say Joe makes $2 million a month.
Yes. Hypothetically.
Okay. Right?

Speaker 1 Right, look. Cool, right? His stomach is sick.
Round three.

Speaker 1 He got sick.

Speaker 1 So listen, if I go on tour and I tour six times out the month and I only get back a half a million dollars. It's not worth it

Speaker 1 is it worth me slaving getting on a plane going through an airport got to deal with the sound check the production to this to that argue with the people the fans all of that stuff to make less money than i can make sitting on my couch

Speaker 1 insurance liabilities i got it i got it i got it because it's gonna have to be insured

Speaker 1 yeah you're gonna have to put some of the money back into the show you're gonna i want a musical performer at the end of the show i want to do live sleepers gotta pay him did you not it's it's no i mean i don't want to discourage anybody out there.

Speaker 1 Y'all do what works for you. Some of these niggas are not on the shit.
I'm not sure. I came in my room.
She was in the bed. Somebody's going to run out of this.
We're not talking about it.

Speaker 1 But the pop-up show, you think you'll do pretty good, right?

Speaker 1 Do you know what I'll do? The pop-up shows in New York, somewhere we could drive. It's not for no money.
I'm doing it just on some fan shit. One, two, on some vanity shit.

Speaker 1 One day we might pop up at Radio City just on some vanity. Just pure, just to say, just to pure banana.
Vanity place.

Speaker 1 I'm not trying to make no money, but we did it. Put something on that, you bitch ass niggas.
And that's it. But as far as money, I'm going to walk away with fucking seven grand.

Speaker 1 More than seven, but come on.

Speaker 1 I don't think. Even if it's 70, even if it's 70, you wouldn't do it.
Even if it's 70, it's worth it. These niggas not even.

Speaker 1 Let's not get crazy. 70 grand, we do back-to-back shows.
If I walk with 70 grand, but the numbers off.

Speaker 1 You would get,

Speaker 1 you would get 70. You would get 70 cash, 70 grand for a show.
I'm just freestyling.

Speaker 1 That's on a high number. You get 70 grand for a show.
There's a lot of niggas. Now Now y'all go break it down.
There's a lot of niggas out there. Break down 70.

Speaker 1 By the time y'all finish breaking the 70 grand down, I'm going to get about 7 grand.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of niggas out here that don't have half the following as you that's packing out the Jaffa Center, nigga.

Speaker 1 The fuck are we talking about here? Please. You could do.

Speaker 1 I understand what you're saying, but I feel like you are smart enough and wise enough

Speaker 1 to figure it out. Please do not

Speaker 1 fuck with me.

Speaker 1 I'm going to fucking miss you. Wild, wild, Whubsy land.
But I just fucking saying you won't make no money. Because I remember what you said when we we was planning that other tour.

Speaker 1 I remember the comment you made

Speaker 1 and said, I'm buying a protect off of this.

Speaker 1 I don't know what you're talking about. Ice.
So if I'm buying a protect off of tour. Off of a tour.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 I get off some dates. No, no.
Let's say a couple dates. It was a couple dates.

Speaker 1 With the whole, what you make of my, I get that.

Speaker 1 That's why I said, what is some money?

Speaker 1 That's all I ask. What is some money? It's in our wasteful conversation.
What some niggas look at as waste, some niggas look at as

Speaker 1 edible. Like for the show to, even for the show to make sense, right? Yeah, let me hear this.

Speaker 1 I got to be tech nine on the merch.

Speaker 1 I got to bring trunks of merch here for this to make sense the way I want it to make sense. And everybody in here got to buy something.
Like it just. What do you say would?

Speaker 1 I want to do it for y'all so y'all can have the tour, the show experience.

Speaker 1 I want to see Ish in his bag. Like, I want to see y'all have the show experience.
experience. What's the show factor? I'm not looking at it.

Speaker 1 It's not.

Speaker 1 That's not no matter what.

Speaker 1 The X factor for me was the Patreon subscriptions. Do you think that big events would spike the memberships? No.
No? Okay. Not at all.
Not any more than they already do. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And if it was really about the money, right, then the pod could never go into it. I would go take all the speaking engagements that are offered to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a cheaper.

Speaker 1 It's efficient. You just take it.
It's all profit. I don't.
It ain't about.

Speaker 1 I don't want to do it with y'all. I don't want to go out and listen.
I ain't trying to do it. Maybe I need to grow out of that at some point.
No.

Speaker 1 But that's just not. What, the tour or the speaking engagement? The speaking thing.
Spash one, you mean. You should.
The speaking thing. If I made it, I wouldn't speak nowhere.
Shit. What'd you say?

Speaker 1 If I made enough money to not speak, I wouldn't hit the road to speech. I would.
I would. You would pick and choose.
Yeah, it'd be very difficult. If I got every speaking engagement.

Speaker 1 I would do five a year. That's something.
And those five would be pivotal in the networking ability that you'd have to be real.

Speaker 1 It'll be five of them, them, too. Yeah, it has to be five of them.
It has to be five of them. Like you get in Silicon Valley giving a speech.
Question. I just left Sam Friend.

Speaker 1 All that tech shit they talk, niggas, crackheads and homeless people and bumps. I know.
All of them got a different type of crack.

Speaker 1 Some of them niggas got different scag.

Speaker 1 Niggas' houses in the side of a mountain, nigga. I ain't fine.
I love Sam Friend.

Speaker 1 The photos change based on their mood. The amount of feet between the homeless nigga and the nigga that invented some shit.
Oh, yeah. Pretty good Using the Tenderloin then.
Yeah. It ain't.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's nasty out there. I was buying one of them nasty targets.

Speaker 1 Yeah, looking for the other Silicon Valley.

Speaker 1 Tourloin. There you go.

Speaker 1 It gets pretty funny sometimes. That's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 What else? What else needs our attention? What else needs our attention? What's the Twitter age bait thing? I don't know the story.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. They got you, niggas.
Yeah. They got you, niggas.
They pulled back the curtain. Yes, they did.
This is great. This is amazing.
Twitter went and

Speaker 1 you can now click on the profile to see where the account was created. And how many times they changed their name.
Yep, yep. And when they started their account.
Yep. Yep.

Speaker 1 And what we're coming to find out is a lot of these people that have been cosplaying as black hip-hop lovers are non-black. Non-American.

Speaker 1 Non-black, non-American people from India and fucking Australia.

Speaker 1 And outside of hip-hop, to your world, like people inciting political fucking

Speaker 1 bullshit, non-American. Wow.

Speaker 1 Which is bigger to me. Hip-hop is worldwide, so it is what it is.
But like, when you start talking about American politics, MAGA pages,

Speaker 1 all this shit, and you're from wherever, that's weird. Nah, some of these hip-hop niggas

Speaker 1 were acting like they were from New York.

Speaker 1 That's true, too. They were non-black, saying, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga.
It was, it was, it was, hip-hop's worldwide, but you can't do that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you're a white boy from Sweden, I'm sure now, actually, I grew up in motherfucking

Speaker 1 bridge. It's different.
Yeah. It's different.
Yeah, some of of these niggas have changed their name 39, 49 times.

Speaker 1 They show you how many times the name has been changed. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow. One of these Kendrick fans is going through it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 The DHS page is going through it. What's DHS? Homeland Security.
Oh.

Speaker 1 They found out that was made in Tel Aviv.

Speaker 1 And then they went and did an update and said,

Speaker 1 then they went and did an update and said, okay, government pages are exempt. We will not show where they're made from.
Wow.

Speaker 1 They got to call. Yeah, they got to call.
You got to call.

Speaker 1 Okay, call. Where might your sales made from? Where's that? I don't look at your shit.
I don't know. Livingston.

Speaker 1 My shit is Shadow Band A. We can't find that book.

Speaker 1 He got you muted. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 It shouldn't wade.

Speaker 1 This is interesting, though. I don't know what it'll do long term, but it is nice to be able to go through and look at the people talking shit and you're like, oh.

Speaker 1 You're not who you're pretending to be. And then this is like, you catch yourself like, yo, I'm really sitting here letting this person rage bait me.
I love looking at what unites America.

Speaker 1 Word.

Speaker 1 We so dumb. We are crazy.
It goes back to the AI is not real, the internet is not real conversations that we've been having for however long up here, though.

Speaker 1 And that's a good reminder: just stop arguing with dumb people online.

Speaker 1 Because they're literally designed. That would make sense.
Yeah, they fuck with you. Like, they don't.
Oh, my thing is, they're not real. They're not real.

Speaker 1 Even if you are real and you get your rocks off by making another person mad,

Speaker 1 you need a hug, my nigga, some coochie or something. Like,

Speaker 1 go learn how to ski. That shit is crazy to me.
Yes.

Speaker 1 That was a choice. One solution.

Speaker 1 Ski? Yourself.

Speaker 1 Speaking of Indian Rage, babe.

Speaker 1 Hey.

Speaker 1 Zoharan Mamdani

Speaker 1 is in D.C.

Speaker 1 No, he's back. He's in ways.
He's back. Well, I should say he went to D.C.
He went to D.C. That was the week he visited Mr.
Trump. That was really interesting.
It was super interesting.

Speaker 1 People were expecting this to be like Clash of the Titans. They were expecting all the sparks and fireworks.
And instead, it looked like they both pissed off each other's

Speaker 1 own bases.

Speaker 1 Because they showed up together looking really happy,

Speaker 1 smiling and shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Trump was nodding when Mamdani was talking to Mamdani, kind of acknowledging what Trump was saying. A lot of people are starting to call Mamdani a sellout because of this.
See, I hate that.

Speaker 1 I hate that. This is how things should work.
Two people with different views should be able to sit in a room and work towards a common goal. Common goal.
I was actually kind of inspired by it.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to lie. Me too.
And he got stuff back. You know, Mamdani was able to have a conversation with Trump, and Trump's not going to send troops to New York.

Speaker 1 And the funds that he said he was going to block after Mamdani won, he's not going to block.

Speaker 1 So would he give up to get that? Go ahead. I'm going to give you a piece of 17th Street.

Speaker 1 That's how it works. Oh, baby.
Don't step on my shit. You got to sell crack down there.
We got Skaggle.

Speaker 1 We'll give you a piece of 119th Street. You got that, dog.
But that's politics. I don't think Trump was ever sending troops to New York.
I don't think he was ever cutting the funding for New York.

Speaker 1 I I think they were all threats. All threats.

Speaker 1 I think you can't play with New York a certain way. And his friends, his friends,

Speaker 1 I think people that he calls friends would be impacted by that. New Yorkers.

Speaker 1 They would be impacted by that. Like, Trump is a New Yorker at heart, but he came to him.
That's true. Like, be clear, that nigga is New York through and through.
So I think he would never do that.

Speaker 1 I agree. I think the fact that he's such a New Yorker is why he had to meet me.
I don't think if Mamdani's mayor of Chicago, he's taking him in. I would agree.
I agree. He was definitely a good man.

Speaker 1 I agree. Yeah, I agree.
I think that's what this was about.

Speaker 1 Better for both of them for them to find common ground. I agree.
And stick to that. What I will say is, if anybody out there thought it looked like Mom Donnie got sunned out, it did.

Speaker 1 Okay. I see how it looked like that to me.
It did. It didn't look like that to me.
If you're a.

Speaker 1 Man, them reporters was, yo, you've said all these horrible, mean things. You've called him a fascist.
You've called him, yada, yada, yada, yada. What do you think?

Speaker 1 He was about to get in his political answering back.

Speaker 1 Hey, big dog. Don't even answer.
Don't answer that, nigga. Just cop to it.
Yeah, I am. I'm everything.
I am whatever you say. I am.

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't worry. I'll hold nothing against you.
You still get that money. I looked like that as something.

Speaker 1 Well, that is a sunning.

Speaker 1 You don't have to look at it like a sunning, but

Speaker 1 by definition.

Speaker 1 Yo. If somebody asks you something and you put your code switch voice on, and I say, yo, you ain't got to answer that.
And then you shut up.

Speaker 1 Nah, it's just saying that don't let them cause division.

Speaker 1 That's all I took that. Yeah.
Yeah, but it's tough when the division. The way to not.
I'm not mad at Mom Donnie getting sunned out by Trump. I think that's the smart thing to do.

Speaker 1 But I don't feel like it. You did come off like that to me.

Speaker 1 I'm in agreement with you. I just think that

Speaker 1 he is going to get an education

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 he wasn't prepared for. Mom Donnie? Yeah.
Huh? See, I don't see that.

Speaker 1 I think at 34 years old,

Speaker 1 yo, he's not the mayor of Tupelo, Mississippi, my nigga. He's the mayor of New York City,

Speaker 1 the financial capital of the world. And I think it's so many moving parts that he is not prepared for or that he may not even know exists at play here that it's going to be an education.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying it's going to be, he's going to fail. I'm saying he's going to get an education.
Oh, yeah. And if y'all don't think he's going to get an education, y'all, of course.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think all politicians get an education when you go from running to governing is always education.

Speaker 1 I suppose you mean like like he was uniquely going to have some kind of, like, he was going to be taken by surprise in the way that most other politicians are. I'm with Ish.

Speaker 1 I think New York City has a lot more moving parts than that. Bro, New York has a lot more movements.
So, yes, every politician is going to learn something. No, I'm saying every New York mayor.

Speaker 1 I'm saying, I don't think there's anything special about Mom Donnie's run that makes, I think every mayor, everybody who, I think Eric Adams had that experience. I think Dinkins had that experience.

Speaker 1 I think everybody has that experience. Yeah, but I think they were older.
Don't stop. No, stop.
Don't do that. That's a totally different part.

Speaker 1 Eric Adams was the senior chief of the police department, whatever. He already had a new statement.

Speaker 1 He had a fundamental understanding of who got a budget where this budget supposed to go who we asked for it like don't do that mam dani's an assemblyman though that's exactly what he does i mean that's exactly what he does he's not just some dude from the street

Speaker 1 they don't know the history of mamdani no

Speaker 1 this is what i'm saying i think that if you've been in public and i don't no listen i think if you've been in public office for 20 years 30 years you have more of an experience

Speaker 1 you've worked in different roles right you get experience from over here you get experience from over here you get experience from over here i think that's why in my opinion i don't think the president should be under a certain age obamo's the youngest right uh ever i think so no jeff carried kennel

Speaker 1 yeah he was almost right there but obama's right there and i think that because when you're getting older and you in more business etc etc you it's just uh experience breeds information and education sometimes it also breeds bad habits sometimes yes that's that part too but i think that in new york city bro this is some this is an anomaly over here see and that's why i gotta read don't assembly member me to death an assembly member is an elected representative who serves in a state or regional legislative assembly they represent their uh small regional uh constituents help shape state policy advocate for their district and vote on legislation and state budget okay i see what you're saying all of that sounds like minor league baseball No, it's like being in the House of Representatives in Congress and running for president.

Speaker 1 It's literally the same thing. It's like, this is the Congress of New York.
And he worked at the state level. He knows exactly how to get money for the state because he worked in the state.

Speaker 1 I think, and honestly, he has more political experience than Bloomberg did. I mean, like, I get what y'all are saying that being older and being.

Speaker 1 No, we don't. Yeah, I don't know what Mark is.
And see, we're going to disagree, and

Speaker 1 I don't feel like beefing with you.

Speaker 1 Bloomberg ran away from Mark. Bloomberg ran.
You talking about like public politics. Because that's what you said.
Politics.

Speaker 1 A moment ago, you said,

Speaker 1 when you've been in office for, when you say, when you've been in office for a second,

Speaker 1 they're talking about something. Tell me what we're talking about, buddy.
It's not that I'm missing what y'all are talking about. I'm just, and I'm not disagreeing with you.

Speaker 1 I get having experience in other sectors matters. Having decades of experience in the business sector, which Bloomberg obviously did, matters.
I'm not disagreeing with any of that.

Speaker 1 All I'm saying is that

Speaker 1 Mamdani's not starting from zero. That's all I'm saying.
You said he has more. You said he had more.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about elected office because that's what you had said earlier. That's all I'm talking about.
You said he had more political experience than Bloomberg.

Speaker 1 After you said political office, I'm talking about political office. I know.

Speaker 1 And what I'm thinking is for Bloomberg to be one of the richest people in the United States of America and be housed in New York for this long amount of time.

Speaker 1 He's been playing politics plays a huge amount in that for you to get that level of success. Do you think I'm disagreeing with that? No, but you said he had more political experience.

Speaker 1 We're going in a circle. All right.
Let's stipulate. When I said political office at that moment, public office.
Yes, that's why I keep saying elected office.

Speaker 1 And I was only saying that in response to you saying elected office. To say elected office on the team, because we don't have to go back before.
I'm saying, I agree with everything you just said.

Speaker 1 Okay. The only thing I was disagreeing in this whole conversation was that Mamdani is not

Speaker 1 lacking political political experience. There are

Speaker 1 others who have a specific kind of experience that is especially helpful in New York, like working on Wall Street or like having, I'm not disagreeing with anything y'all are saying.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying, I'm just disagreeing with this assertion that people have that Mamdani's starting from zero, that he doesn't have experience, he doesn't know how government works, he doesn't know how to navigate.

Speaker 1 That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think he's going to be actually

Speaker 1 quite adept at that. And he's put together a team of people who are very good at that.

Speaker 1 If anything, some of his political opponents from my side of the aisle are worried that he's bringing too many people who are old school New York veterans.

Speaker 1 They're also mad that he kept the same police commissioner because of that. So he's bringing in veterans.
Did he bring in new graphic designers? I think he's waiting for you to give some suggestions.

Speaker 1 Mon Donnie, dog, that font, yo, it's over. That font seems

Speaker 1 just change the fucking font. Just change the font.
I can't tell you what it seems like, but change the font. Change the font.

Speaker 1 Anyway, valid, valid.

Speaker 1 Valid, valid, valid, valid criticism there. Yo, fuck you, Bar.

Speaker 1 All right, what else we need? What else we need? I'm having a blast. Yeah, no, man.
I'm having an absolute blast during this holiday broadcast. Yo.

Speaker 1 Call your family members. Invite that cousin.
Let that cousin come over. Let that cousin come over.
Get a plate. The one you ain't spoke to in a few.
The one with the temper.

Speaker 1 The one that's a little violent. Come on, let that cousin come over.
Should we do the sad stuff real quick? The RIPs?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we should. It's time for the RIPs, man.
We got a bunch of them. We do.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately. Yeah.
Let's start with the music ones. Yeah, Jimmy Cliff, man.
Jimmy Cliff, Ray Gae legend. Absolutely.
Man, one of the giants.

Speaker 1 I first got introduced to him from The Harder They Come. Same.
Yeah, the great film, obviously, but also the music. Soundtrack was one of the best soundtracks ever.
Woo!

Speaker 1 One of the best soundtracks ever.

Speaker 1 Island Records might not exist if it's not for Jimmy Cliff. Yeah.
Yeah. I think this, when I think of the height of Reggae, I think there's two names.
He's Bob Marley and there's Jimmy Cliff.

Speaker 1 And unfortunately, Jimmy Cliff sometimes doesn't get the respect he deserves. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He put Bob onto the label, the label over there. And then ultimately Island Records.
So yeah.

Speaker 1 Bob would have been Bob without him, but no doubt, he helped a lot early on in his career. Rest in peace, Jimmy Cliff.
He's rest in peace to the great Jimmy Cliff. Rest in peace, Jimmy Cliff, man.

Speaker 1 Go watch Heart of the Cove. Great movie and great soundtrack.

Speaker 1 Yes. And of course, Jelly Bean Johnson.

Speaker 1 One of the great drummers of all time. One of the great music producers of all time.

Speaker 1 When you think about the Minneapolis sound, when you think of how Prince sounded, when you think about the time, when you think about the Jets, I mean, any that sound in Minneapolis is him.

Speaker 1 He also produced for Janet Jackson, he produced for a new edition. But as a drummer for the time and as a producer, in his era, there are a few people as influential as him.

Speaker 1 He's one of the people who doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Speaker 1 Definitely.

Speaker 1 We got so many. Viola Fletcher, rest in peace.
She was the last, or the oldest, excuse me, the oldest living member or survivor from the Tulsa massacres.

Speaker 1 If y'all remember Black Wall Street or know the story of Black Wall Street, when there was a self-sustaining black economic community that was destroyed purely because it was a black, self-sustaining economic community,

Speaker 1 it was one of the great American tragedies. It really didn't get any semblance of justice until the last four or five years and still no reparations.
She fought until the day she died for reparations.

Speaker 1 She died at the age of 111

Speaker 1 and vowed to have reparations. And we're still going to fight, but rest in power to Viola Fletcher.
God bless her.

Speaker 1 Of course, we also have the great

Speaker 1 Rodney Rogers. Oh, man.
One of the most underrated

Speaker 1 players we've seen. Remember him back.
That was our childhood, right? Wake Force. Wake Force.
He was tough. Nobody could stop him.
He was a Bronny Rogers. Don't get nowhere near the credit.
He

Speaker 1 was not even close. He was the first

Speaker 1 big, muscular, power forward that kind of could step out, body you, move around, was mobile, dunk on you. He was a force.
He was special. Ronnie Rogers was a force to be reckoned with.

Speaker 1 Them Denver teams he was on. That's when they was tough.
Yep. Like, it's her.
How old was Ronnie Rogers when he passed? He was in his 50s. He,

Speaker 1 if y'all don't know, he was in an ATV accident

Speaker 1 in his hometown of Riley, and he had a major spinal surgery.

Speaker 1 What'd they call it? The halo for a while. Yeah, but he was paralyzed.
He was paralyzed. And the complications from that surgery ultimately

Speaker 1 led to his death. So the last thing.
So we continue continue the unfortunate trend of black men between the ages of 40 and 60 just getting out of here. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 but rest in peace to all those legends, all those giants for sure.

Speaker 1 This gotta be a top 20 song ever made. Gotta be.
It's updated.

Speaker 1 Come on, man.

Speaker 1 Yo, rest in peace your heart goes out to their family friends fans and loved ones each and every one of them

Speaker 1 Here you go

Speaker 1 right, get the crew back right

Speaker 1 Mike Shay one two one two talk to me

Speaker 1 like my mind

Speaker 1 black people

Speaker 1 If you just now tune in, got a great show lined up for you.

Speaker 1 Yo, quick little change of pace here because we were talking about, you know, rest in peace.

Speaker 1 Did y'all see the video of Jordi that was clowned down in the damn

Speaker 1 casket? Yes, I did. When they were lowering the casket.
They were lowering the casket. She got it.
Side chick jumped in. Jumped in, and the family.
Who the fuck? Bitch, why?

Speaker 1 The family. The family was funny.
Family hugging down, though. She's wigging out down there.
Look at her.

Speaker 1 They put the beats on her. Yeah, yeah.
That's what you're supposed to do, though. Is it? No, it's not what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 1 I totally disagree with that. Time out.
This is the side chick. While the wife in them is there at the funeral and you cutting up like this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the family's supposed to beat your ass at that point, bro. I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 You can't beat someone up at the beach. I don't believe that.
Why not? I totally disagree with that. I said,

Speaker 1 just let it jump in. Yeah, go ahead, sir.

Speaker 1 Right. Supper in the dirty.

Speaker 1 This thing up, guys.

Speaker 1 Y'all crazy as hell. Party over.
Right. You can't jump down in the whole thing.
I totally disagree with that, please. I can't believe your take.

Speaker 1 The human. That's a beatbox, nigga.
Is you crazy? That's an asshole. You are disrespecting my entire family by jumping down.
Big bama sitting right here. I look at that totally

Speaker 1 different. Yo, everybody grieve the way they want to grieve.
Cool. You got to grieve like that at home, especially you knew you was the side.
Can't jump in a grave at home. Right.

Speaker 1 My dog, don't jump in the grave here.

Speaker 1 Sit over here like everybody else. Wait till everybody'll clear out or something.
It's going to be grave consequences when you jump in this grave. They grabbed it on one hand to lift up, nigga.

Speaker 1 She flew up at niggas.

Speaker 1 Even niggas got hits in, nigga.

Speaker 1 I think that there's a side chick etiquette that should happen at funerals. It ain't fun.
And burials.

Speaker 1 Joe, stop playing, bro. You're trolling, man.
Come on. I think the family should have got that young lady up out of there.
They did. They did.
Expedition. By the scruff of her neck like a cat.

Speaker 1 You trying to say that shit and put no hands on her. Don't beat up.
No, no. I think that's a solid rule.
But my views are: I'm in the minority on this. Okay.

Speaker 1 At a funeral, I think we're honoring the dead. They're going to make this sound like I'm some type of cheater champion.
Well, but

Speaker 1 no, I am not. I am not.
I am against it. Don't cheat out there.
At all. At a funeral, I think we're honoring the dead.

Speaker 1 That means we're honoring the dead.

Speaker 1 If the dead had a side, which they normally do have a side that was really important to them, I'm not just talking about some bum ass side. I'm talking about the side that's jumping into burial.

Speaker 1 If they had that type of side and you just learning about it at the funeral, I get it. It hurts.
But I don't think you beat that lady up.

Speaker 1 I don't think that at all.

Speaker 1 So let me ask you this. Maybe escort her out politely.

Speaker 1 I agree. Escort her out out of there.
Get her out of there. I'm going to go.
It's your family. So y'all can get her out of there.
But

Speaker 1 don't, don't, don't. And no one pissed me off.
The family members that beat it at new. It's family members there that knew.
Those would be the ones swinging first. Yeah.
I just think that's corny.

Speaker 1 I do too. But I think if we had to have an uncomfortable conversation with my girl about this.
If we're honoring the dead, think about this. What? Hold on.
You can't just leave that to you. Hold on.

Speaker 1 Everybody makes up. Expound.
Please say more. Well, expound means they're going to think it applies to me.
But just a good talk came up and we had it.

Speaker 1 Where it was like, if you learned something that you didn't know at the funeral, don't disrespect my funeral. All right, well,

Speaker 1 Shorty, you don't think Shorty jumping in there? We're dishonoring the dead, and you knew you were aside. You knew your position.

Speaker 1 So for you to come jump in the grave and do all of that shit at my funeral, you are dishonoring me and my family and my funeral.

Speaker 1 So you, I'm not saying that we're going to fight fire with fire, but sometimes the grill get a little hot. I want to explain to the audience that I'm totally aware that my views are of the minority.

Speaker 1 It's a conversation, bro. It's not a debate.
Like, I'm not, I ain't.

Speaker 1 If you're supposed to be honoring me, Ish, I received what you're saying.

Speaker 1 You might have got that stat. I might have left that stash at your house.
You might have got a couple hundred over there. As the side, and this is going to sound nuts, but I'm going to say it.

Speaker 1 I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 As the side, once you die

Speaker 1 and it comes time to honor you,

Speaker 1 I think side chicks should get a grace that is not normally there. I agree with that.
The side chick is the one that had to be quiet for the last 25 years. That knows all you're saying.

Speaker 1 So you're dead. You're dead now.
I agree with that. She is affected.

Speaker 1 She's hurt. I agree with that.

Speaker 1 She's fucked up. No, I agree with you.
I'm seeing the side. I've seen this side, bro.

Speaker 1 I know it to where the side was the relationship and the wife wasn't. And now at the funeral, the brothers is telling the side, no, you can't come to the funeral.
Get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 It's like, how do you want a side to react to that? Is all I'm saying?

Speaker 1 I'm not trying to say what is right or wrong, but I'm not. Don't beat at my funeral.

Speaker 1 Don't touch nobody at my funeral. They deserve somebody.
The people here love me. I don't give a fuck if you just found out about them.
Don't touch nobody at my shit.

Speaker 1 I think that's the ultimate question. Like, if you're the person who just passed away, the question is, what would Joe want to happen? Well, I'm not going to have no sides at my funeral.
No, I know.

Speaker 1 Or me or whoever. Like,

Speaker 1 what would the dead person want to happen? And they don't want their side chick getting jumped.

Speaker 1 Well, the dead person wouldn't want his, he didn't want the side chick found out about while it was alive, so he probably don't want to found out now.

Speaker 1 He don't want to jump into the the grave neither. I'm not saying, I'm not saying, but I'm saying I wouldn't double down on it.
She did something crazy, escort her out.

Speaker 1 See, I'm gonna beat her ass in the city. We gotta get out first.
She wouldn't get out. She landed.
We gotta get out. Well, it's more than one way to get her out.
No, yeah, the neck, the hair, the arm.

Speaker 1 You're joking, my man. Oh, wow.
You're gonna get out of this motherfucker.

Speaker 1 Bitch, do not go to my funeral.

Speaker 1 Hey, the reception, you cool. Mingle with the family.
Eat some.

Speaker 1 The funeral, stay away. Reception.
Hey, matter of fact, I will let my son let you in to come see me a little early.

Speaker 1 But when that family come in, you come to the wake. You can come to the shit where the body is in the living room.

Speaker 1 And keep it cute. Be quiet, play cool.
Don't let people know what time it was. I would imagine my

Speaker 1 right there. Any side of mine ain't jumping in the burial plot trying to die with me.

Speaker 1 Some sides try to grandstand at the funeral. It's definitely passive-aggressive.
Some sides try to. We can't take that away.
I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 I've seen the one where it's just cool, but there's some that grandstand.

Speaker 1 Lo mama, Lo mama. Then she should be escorted out.
I'm leaving you. Okay, I'm leaving you.

Speaker 1 They don't beat her ass. It's not.

They escorted her out. You know all the levels of escort.
The niggas grabbed me. Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 that he's not. Why do he say that? He knows.
He don't know shit. He knows I don't know the zombies.
He don't love those shit. He's escorting.

Speaker 1 So how will he know I know the levels? Is there going to be anybody at y'all's knock on wood or plastic or whatever you need to?

Speaker 1 Is there going to be anybody, not aside, because I'm not talking about that.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about your wife or your partner learning about a relationship that you had that she didn't know about at the funeral. It don't have to be a side.
No. No.
I doubt it's possible.

Speaker 1 Are any, all right, fuck y'all politically correct niggas. Fuck, mute up, nigga.

Speaker 1 Are any of y'all's old work

Speaker 1 coming to the funeral? Yes. How many, though? Give me like a gauge.

Old work. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 that miss that is crazy do you think that anyone would be extra at your funeral like okay so then you you know that this she's well loved niggas do love him i know he's well loved loved.

Speaker 1 So you're not going to tell him, yo, listen, if I die, I don't play around my funeral. But here's the thing.
Ish's funeral is going to be so well attended. Emotion is different.

Speaker 1 You can't tell somebody. I'm going to meet your girl at your funeral.
What are they going to feel in the emotional form?

Speaker 1 Maybe.

Speaker 1 Come on, die.

Speaker 1 Maybe.

Speaker 1 I worked with him.

Speaker 1 We did a podcast.

Speaker 1 The whole front row of niggas like, he ain't going to know. Don't introduce yourself to Joe.
At his funeral, they're going to tell me I can't sit in the first four rows, nigga.

Speaker 1 Now I gotta shoot it up.

Speaker 1 Now I gotta shoot this shit up. Nigga, I'm sitting in the first four with my man.
You know what I mean? My man's was on it here. You can't do that.

Speaker 1 No, no, the first two rows would be for families, white family. When they get to that third and fourth, I better be up in there.

Speaker 1 No, they're gonna have you guys on the other side. Yeah, you got you in the back.
Yeah, fuck out of here. Standing room.
Like they had me at my aunt's funeral. I've still got to talk to my family.

Speaker 1 He's still talking about my funeral. No, he is not off that.
You still ain't speaking about it. Because I know what happened.
I ain't even know we own a funeral.

Speaker 1 Oh, y'all niggas is royalty down there. Yeah.
You own the. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was in New York. Holy shit.
Anyway. I don't need no phone calls on Thanksgiving week.
I did have. Yo, shout out to my family.
I love y'all.

Speaker 1 Yo, I did have something in my family happen where a family member passed and his,

Speaker 1 I might get in trouble. His girlfriend found out that he was married.
Hey, what that happens. That happened to my man.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 Yo, that happened to my man. Rest in peace.

Speaker 1 Corey, no one. Not Corey don't know him.
Corey don't know him.

Speaker 1 That was a lot. You don't know him, Corey.

Speaker 1 The nigga, rest in peace, was having sex with his side and had a heart attack.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the girlfriend

Speaker 1 thought he lived with his sister.

Speaker 1 This is a true story. She went to the house to tell the nigga's wife that he passed away.
No. And thought that the wife was

Speaker 1 going to his sister's crib.

Speaker 1 Oh my lord, yo. So the wife in that moment found out that her husband was cheating and

Speaker 1 dead. Damn it.

Speaker 1 Nah, that's not okay with me. Yeah.
That's not all right. But she ain't no, so it's different, but still, damn.
Now you allowed to grab that little 22. No, you don't.
That's what.

Speaker 1 You allowed to grab the 22 for the people that didn't know, but you can't put the beat box on somebody that jumped in the casket. You can't be the deliverer of the news, too, though.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be the deliverer of the blows when they jump in the casket. You're crazy.
You can't jump in my casket. Wait a minute.
So

Speaker 1 if, God forbid, your wife, your lady would have passed before you, take it off of me. And a nigga just

Speaker 1 if something happened and you are unbeknownst to what's going on and somebody come deliver some news to your door, you can't be mad at that person. Somebody that knows you marry and jump.

Speaker 1 You're mad at anybody. But I mean, if you was the victim of it, like, would y'all react that way? Like, would y'all beat up?

Speaker 1 Would y'all beat up a bunch of people beat up a dude if you found out at the funeral? That's what I'm saying. Like, if you, some niggas was jumping in the casket.

Speaker 1 Wait, the rules change if it's the other way around. Well, that's why I'm asking, because I feel like they might.
So y'all at the funeral, your lady in the casket.

Speaker 1 I'm not even gonna be able to get it. They look at it like that because the niggas die first.

Speaker 1 Right. The niggas, you're gonna die before your wife.
Hate to be the barrier news. If you know who you want to know, but play, play with Mark Moore.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm playing in my wife's funeral. I'm at my wife's funeral.
At your wife's funeral, you at the moment

Speaker 1 with your black shades on some Shamar Moore looking ass niggas jumping in the casket. Yeah, he jumping the casket.
He's come Rocky and jump in the casket. What do you do?

Speaker 1 There's gonna be some Jamaican nigga come up in there.

Speaker 1 My girl thinks I don't know her type. Shamar Moore.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you right now, my niggas gonna look at me. It's go time.
That's it. It's go time.
That's it. And not one word going to be said.
That's it. And you're not going to be.
Actually,

Speaker 1 I'm in the casket with them.

Speaker 1 Party time.

Speaker 1 Whoa, it's party time. Is you crazy, nigga? Parks, would you? What would you do? This is a toxic.
I do think it changes when it's a dude.

Speaker 1 I do think it changes. It goes changes.

Speaker 1 So, what would you do? Change it off.

Speaker 1 Someone else is going to handle it, but I might come outside. Possible by this time.
But you're not stopping it.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Wait a minute. All this decorum and bullshit about

Speaker 1 the girl. You can't jump in the casket.
The girl.

Speaker 1 The girl. You can't beat up the girl.

Speaker 1 Respect black women and white women.

Speaker 1 But if some dude

Speaker 1 says she is.

Speaker 1 If the sisters in there start jumping on her ass, I wouldn't hit the girl that jumped in no casket. No, I get you.
But

Speaker 1 yeah, but if the other family females feel like this,

Speaker 1 they whoop her ass. Well, we whooping ass if somebody come to my wife's funeral, nigga.
I'm whooping ass, nigga.

Speaker 1 I already know.

Speaker 1 No, you don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna go around and shoot him.

Speaker 1 You're gonna look at JR like, get him.

Speaker 1 JR might think, nigga, the way he acted. Yo, you crazy.
My mom did what?

Speaker 1 J-Recall that. My mom!

Speaker 1 What world am I living in?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you crazy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, hell dog. Mark, you do the same shit, Mark.
Oh, yeah, you definitely.

Speaker 1 You would love your wife too much, too.

Speaker 1 You know, I wouldn't stop.

Speaker 1 If niggas look, if I would look to my peoples, if my peoples jumped in the casket, I wouldn't stop them. You wouldn't let them.
But I wouldn't be ordering it, but

Speaker 1 you wouldn't have to. The people that love you there is going to jump on their ass, bro.
Bro, put your p-h bullshit. She in the other window.
I'm saying this. Nigga, you are quick-tempered.

Speaker 1 If a nigga came in and disrespected your fucking family and jumped in that casket, guess what would be said for you? He called you a sucker, too.

Speaker 1 He was calling you the ultimate.

Speaker 1 Danny called you a sucker. They calling you a sucker.

Speaker 1 I'm saying, I would probably do what y'all would do. I know.

Speaker 1 I hope I wouldn't, but I probably would. You are.

Speaker 1 I'm saying I wish I was better, but I probably

Speaker 1 was better. Shut the fuck up.
I do. AIK.
If I'm there, I wouldn't. We fucking him up, Mom.
We fucking fucking him up. I wouldn't jump in the casket, though, but if y'all did, I wouldn't stop you.

Speaker 1 No, we don't. We can jump out of your hand like this.
Yo, did he just do that?

Speaker 1 He just did that. Yo, Melissa, nigga, stop talking, whispering, and shit.
Yo, ball, calm down, ball. Where are my basement niggas at?

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Oh,

Speaker 1 right here.

Speaker 1 I need my basement niggas to run.

Speaker 1 He imagined Joe too.

Speaker 1 Oh, that would be bad.

Speaker 1 Corey. That would be bad.
Corey, come here. Did this nigga just walk in Jamaican niggas walking shot shit? My girl would grab me by the lapel out the fucking casket.
Nigga,

Speaker 1 who is this bitch? You did what? You did what?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 y'all. No, open this back up.
Open this back up.

Speaker 1 Don't let her find out before the funeral. Now I get the bum look.

Speaker 1 Yo, if you find out before,

Speaker 1 you're gonna get the boot. What's the shit? Dumbass.
The bombing fluid. You're gonna get the cheapest bombing fluid.
No makeup. There's no shape up.
Mustache off.

Speaker 1 My friend's gonna be at that shit like, yo, Joe, don't look.

Speaker 1 That don't look like Joe.

Speaker 1 Look at your dumb ass. You're supposed to, too.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Search your shit.
White button down. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Some purple shit. Some ugly shit.
We're going to give you the old tank top.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 We're laughing.

Speaker 1 This is too much of a triggering topic for me. The wives that find out after their husband's death that some bullshit was going on.

Speaker 1 So now they're playing around with the estate, the funeral, and his family friends.

Speaker 1 It's a serious topic.

Speaker 1 Bro, listen. I don't want to laugh too much about it.
Planning is a thing. No.
Yeah. Nigga, like, my people's going through it.
It's a thing. I got a bunch of people's.
It's a thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, going through it.

Speaker 1 All of you, if you're going through it. Happy holidays to y'all out there.
Thank y'all for listening to us on this beautiful holiday week. Indeed.

Speaker 1 What else? What else? What else? Somebody grabbed Mario's dick while he was performing and

Speaker 1 they had a wedding ring on.

Speaker 1 I was... See? Speaking of.
I was very frustrated with that. Why? You was jealous? Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Which one?

Speaker 1 Everybody grabbed that tight-assisted shit.

Speaker 1 Nobody grabs it. The ones that go at Mark,

Speaker 1 they're not grabbing him. He could be up there talking all the free last shit he wants.
Long time. Just tight-ass pants.
Ain't nobody grabbing them shit. Long time.
There don't be nothing shaking.

Speaker 1 There's some education groupies out here. Ooh.

Speaker 1 I don't doubt that.

Speaker 1 Mark attracted a crazy one. I don't doubt that.

Speaker 1 It said it, not me.

Speaker 1 I had a good follow-up. I've learned

Speaker 1 sometime the good joke isn't always. He'll be getting bitches with that reading shit.

Speaker 1 You hear MJWL?

Speaker 1 Nerve him.

Speaker 1 What are you saying, Mark? No, I mean, obviously, if you're on stage, people think is you on stage or because you're a dude, you can just do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you don't want everybody to just grab your dick or anybody to just randomly grab your dick. Like, that's not okay.
You know what I mean? And if you want that, that's different.

Speaker 1 But, like, there got to be some consent no matter who the person is. But I wasn't even tripping about that part because I'm used to.
that kind of shit happening. It was the wedding ring.

Speaker 1 I didn't even see that until y'all said that.

Speaker 1 Because you're not a real ring looker, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I didn't look for rings until I got married. So the first thing I noticed when I saw that left hand go up was

Speaker 1 that rock on her hand. You can't have a rock on your hand grabbing dicks.
If your man got a little rock,

Speaker 1 she might be out and trying to get Gibraltars. You never know, my nigga.
Get Gibraltars.

Speaker 1 What the fuck you talking about?

Speaker 1 That fucking shit. That's crazy, though.

Speaker 1 You a freak-ish. Again, what's the limit? If you saw your wife's banded hand throwing panties,

Speaker 1 gonna take it somewhere you know what's gonna happen hey

Speaker 1 hey

Speaker 1 we even got contributed

Speaker 1 no

Speaker 1 i had to escape

Speaker 1 some bigger nigga everything y'all say about this working behind me is true

Speaker 1 what would you do see Male? Meanwhile,

Speaker 1 I was saying,

Speaker 1 if I seen, like, it depends on what they're doing. That's what I was going.
Like, if you've seen, like, panties get thrown, you probably don't trip, right?

Speaker 1 Like, what's the line of what they can do? Come on, bro. No, cuz we don't know.
I understand. I'm gonna sing the fucking song.
What's the line? No, because I enjoy the show.

Speaker 1 She step in place and sing the song.

Speaker 1 And not too many of us. Don't sing the bridge.

Speaker 1 You can sing all the words.

Speaker 1 And don't tear up.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 we went to a Jodisi show last year, and my wife loves Mr. Dalvin.
She's loved Mr. Dalvin since high school.

Speaker 1 And he was grabbing women, you know what I mean? And she

Speaker 1 took a step back.

Speaker 1 Is he still there? There you go. Is he still there? Yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And she did the same thing. And she did the same thing with Moz Def at his show.
Like, he was giving her roses. She wouldn't take a rose, right?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 No, because she thought she'd be disrespecting me. She wouldn't be.

Speaker 1 That's a good thing.

Speaker 1 He wants to marry it.

Speaker 1 I hate these niggas.

Speaker 1 I'm saying, like, she's.

Speaker 1 You right there. She don't play with that to get this shit.

Speaker 1 She don't play with you. No, I think you're a serial killer on the log.
Word.

Speaker 1 That's a fucker. Word.
No. She ain't do that shit with Leon.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 nigga. But shit.
Oh, you're talking about not Leon. You talking about

Speaker 1 my man

Speaker 1 at the Muslim business.

Speaker 1 He wasn't there. She wasn't with him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I dodged the bullet on that one.

Speaker 1 But no, she felt like she would be disrespecting me. And I said to her, like, it's cool.
Like, I don't care if you take a rose or grab Mr. Dalvin hand.
Now, you gotta. You should ask the husband.

Speaker 1 Stop. Now she grabbed his dick.
All right, let me ask you, Mark. Stop, Mark.
If Usher was walking around with the cherries.

Speaker 1 We was at the Usher show. I came here and I think he was out there.
We were here, and Usher was coming around with the cherries. And I was a little anxious.

Speaker 1 No, you wasn't, because you looked at her with that face.

Speaker 1 I already knew she wouldn't have done it. Exactly.
solid because my fear and part of it was because it was at the Barclays and I thought y'all might see it because it would be on the screen

Speaker 1 And I was like if I come in here my wife did not see

Speaker 1 yo get stuffed out

Speaker 1 by usher That would be the worst part But no, I don't care if my wife do shit like that, but to me, that's the line like all those things I said are fine.

Speaker 1 The cherry's a little on the line for me, but no, actually, the cherry's not online. No cherries.
No cherries.

Speaker 1 No cherries. You had to do the Joe face.

Speaker 1 Flowers had. But you can't.

Speaker 1 Joe was like this. Joe was like this.
Can she go on stage? No. She said, yo, No, she can't go on stage.
Sade, nigga. Joe was telepathically talking to Sade when Usher did this.

Speaker 1 He said, yo, you know, mother.

Speaker 1 I saw Joe's figure like this. He was pressing his temple.
Motherfucker, you let your niggas do some shit.

Speaker 1 He ain't feel no way. And he asked your permission for her.
That's my man. Yeah, look at that.
So that's the dope shit. I zoomed in on my nigga's shit.
He had the 4c and zoomed. I saw his face.

Speaker 1 What do I should actually end up doing? Did he actually give her the cherries? He wasn't rude. Did he give it a cherries? He wasn't rude.
No, he was. Here come Mark Bottomstadt.

Speaker 1 He wasn't fuzzy. What were you here when we discussed this? I'm fuzzy.
Everything's funny. Everything's fuzzy right now.

Speaker 1 Listen, this is why the Usher shoot is funny. We had other topics to get to, but this is why the Usher shoot was funny, right?

Speaker 1 Because that was before any of the Cherry stuff.

Speaker 1 He was serenading. Before he was making it a point to pull up.

Speaker 1 Oh, or pull up on any attractive girl. That was before the Kiki Palmer shit.
That was before everything, right?

Speaker 1 Okay. So it was only me with no evidence or no proof.
You know how your girl will say to you, yo, I ain't got no proof. It's girl shit.
You wouldn't understand it. This is what's happening.

Speaker 1 You don't know this bitch. I know this bitch.
I know what's going on.

Speaker 1 They be 90% of the race. They gotta be right.

Speaker 1 They be right.

Speaker 1 We be right too, but it sounds

Speaker 1 like I say to her. Yo, man.
Listen, I ain't got no proof.

Speaker 1 I think I showed a ball.

Speaker 1 I think this nigga Ushed off. It's bullshit.

Speaker 1 And when I go to shows, nine times out of ten, I'm not telling the performer I'm there. I'm not telling them where I'm seated so I can see them when they see us.
Right. So I didn't have no problem.

Speaker 1 Usher asked if it was okay beforehand. She got up.
She knows what time it is with me when we get home.

Speaker 1 Yo, what's that noise? She did the right thing. She did the right thing.
However, now,

Speaker 1 but then we turned around and went to see him at the Barclays. I spoke about it here.
And when he saw us in that audience, that nigga came. He was gyrating in front of me all night.

Speaker 1 That nigga seen me and my girl, she was looking good too.

Speaker 1 He was like, I thought that nigga was ravishing recruit.

Speaker 1 That nigga had his six back out.

Speaker 1 You ain't talking about

Speaker 1 it. All right, my nigga.
Yo, dog.

Speaker 1 That's funny, yo. That's funny.
Anyway, shout out to Usher, man.

Speaker 1 That wasn't nothing. And let your girl have that moment, man.
Let your girl have that moment. Let her grab that.

Speaker 1 No dick wrapping. That's your line, too, right? Yeah, yeah, look at these niggas.
They're rich ones. Excuse me.

Speaker 1 Like, we just said, like, let your girl have a moment, but that don't mean she could do what Homegirl did to Mario. No.

Speaker 1 No. Right.
That's what I'm saying. That's the line.
The dick grabbing is the line. My moment.
I mean, you could do that.

Speaker 1 Do you think it's wise? Wouldn't it be wise? I hope that be wise. You did it.

Speaker 1 Shit.

Speaker 1 I'm calling the cops. That's an assault.

Speaker 1 You're going to learn today.

Speaker 1 Did you rethink? You can smell rat on your wife.

Speaker 1 He snitches right. Oh, shit.
Yeah, because I think women should be able to do whatever they want to do. Nigga, that ride back home.
Where you going to live? Yeah, nigga. How you getting at home?

Speaker 1 You didn't do that with your body. You did that with his body.
Oh, my God. That ride back home-ish is a motherfucker.

Speaker 1 You could win any of this? One ride back home. Yeah, nigga.

Speaker 1 How you getting home? I'm rolling out the window. One of you that calls home.
Well, you want to grab a nigga dick and get back in the same car you got here or the same house, bitch.

Speaker 1 Please. Them blocks is changing.
But I watch it. You know, they know.

Speaker 1 And you know, my man gonna find out. He probably wasn't there.
So, like, he looked on the internet and just looked seen that hand and that rock he bore.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a that's a

Speaker 1 that's a rough one.

Speaker 1 And I'm gonna judge you, like, if you're my girl, because we could work through anything, baby. I love you.
But I'm gonna judge you of the dick you're grabbing.

Speaker 1 Like, you're doing all that at the Mario show?

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 What dick do you think is worth that? What dick is acceptable?

Speaker 1 What dick is acceptable?

Speaker 1 Come on, y'all. He said, that ain't even worth it, girl.

Speaker 1 You didn't even get that Mario though.

Speaker 1 It wasn't even Usher. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was baby face. I could understand.

Speaker 1 Fucking you talking about

Speaker 1 crazy here. The show is horrible.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Mario, man.

Speaker 1 Sorry, what's up? Shout out to Homegirl. I heard that Burner Boy show in Houston the other night look like a dud.
Oh, for real? Yeah. I mean, if the footage online is true,

Speaker 1 it looked like the emptiest show he's ever had. But you can't see that.
He was throwing saying shit out yet. Yeah.
Words got constantly. He can't even be saying shit.
What did he say?

Speaker 1 Oh, fuck with broke fans. He was arguing with a fan.

Speaker 1 And I ain't gonna lie, sometimes the big, big, big, big, big hit will hurt you.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 since that,

Speaker 1 last live,

Speaker 1 like, they start expecting you to start producing like that at that clip. And if you don't, I don't think Bernard Boyd's had a record anywhere near that record.
He's been on joints, yeah.

Speaker 1 He's been on joints, he got joints though. When you, when you set the bar so high for yourself early, they start looking at you to produce that way.
Not just fans, but the labels.

Speaker 1 It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. So, shout out to Burn Boy.
Yeah, I'm sure he still puts on a good show if he's not being an absolute dickhead.

Speaker 1 I need to show, I think he's trying to clear one of my records. I need to shut up.

Speaker 1 You own it,

Speaker 1 you own it, yeah, like a mixtape. He said one of them, like he knows what he is.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it was was like, well, let me not say.

Speaker 1 What else? What else?

Speaker 1 Money long seems to be shading Mariah Carey. I don't know if that's the greatest idea.
This stems from when Money Long did the Mariah tribute at the awards when she sung We Belong Together.

Speaker 1 They kept panning the Mariah. If you don't know, Mariah is of the Prince Tree.

Speaker 1 She don't really want to hear none of y'all

Speaker 1 sing her songs.

Speaker 1 I thought Money Long did a good job. She did.

Speaker 1 So Money Long hired a Mariah Carey impersonator. Oh, Lord.
Christmas jokes, too. This is the wrong time.
This is the wrong time. You can't diss Mariah during Christmas.
You can't. You can't.

Speaker 1 You're going to lose that battle. Yeah.
You're going to lose that battle. I think that would hurt more than help.
But

Speaker 1 I do like these new artists that's standing on business. Like, fuck you, you old hag.

Speaker 1 I don't know about that aura that existed before, but yeah, I'm riding on you. I do appreciate that, but

Speaker 1 probably back to it. Well, let me say this.
She ain't standing 10 toes because she posted on Twitter since then,

Speaker 1 y'all. Don't beat the Lulu.
I would never disrespect Queen Mirage. I bet you wouldn't.

Speaker 1 So I think the fans would, because the fans were killing her. Sensible.
The bots came out, the fans came out, the reporters came out. She's smart.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 man, you got a real good song out right now. You don't need the money to water.
Yeah. You don't need the money to water with anything.

Speaker 1 They say that Malagro's lawyers finally got busy the other day in that meg trial.

Speaker 1 And because I need to grow and mature, I don't have anything to tell y'all about it oh i heard y'all i've grown since the last part y'all got it y'all got it you can grow up in three days

Speaker 1 No, but they said the funny shit. They said, and this is all I'll say about it, but they was questioning her about the Nikki diss track,

Speaker 1 about the Drake line. But then I think Meg said something about how she lost the Call of Duty deal because she was so frightened to be around guns and yachti and anything guns was traumatizing.

Speaker 1 And her lawyers pulled up a clip of her in the pool like a couple days after the event with some nigga with a gun. He was dancing with the gun.
All types of shit. That's all I had.

Speaker 1 That's my objective reporting. Back to you, Mark.

Speaker 1 Take it away. He got some sleevers.
Sleevers.

Speaker 1 Get up, sleepers. We had all the stuff.

Speaker 1 We did it. No, we didn't.

Speaker 1 No. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Someone else that happened. Uzi left Atlantic Records.

Speaker 1 And that was on the list. And yeah.

Speaker 1 Uzi's left Atlantic Records.

Speaker 1 He was responsible for

Speaker 1 his hits. And it's now with Rock Nation Distributing.
Oh, that's interesting. So is this considered an independent move? That's big.
It is an independent move. Good for him.
That's big. Good for him.

Speaker 1 And the artists of his.

Speaker 1 I know, yeah. I know the whole.

Speaker 1 Again. AE.

Speaker 1 You guys do not let these niggas do it, man. Go ahead.
Well, that's why I asked, because I feel like people are saying something like an independent move, but it didn't seem like it. Listen, listen.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 when people say independent move, they take that to mean now I own my masters.

Speaker 1 I'm licensing it out to whoever. Whereas on the other side of it, people say it's not independent because it's Rock Nation who is

Speaker 1 you're not independent. You're aligning with a company that has all, yeah, a giant that has all the relationships everywhere.

Speaker 1 So that's where that argument comes from is is it independent versus isn't it? In a technical sense, it's independent because now the label doesn't own my shit. I own it myself.

Speaker 1 So whatever deal I do, if I do an 85-15 over here with them, I'm still technically independent because I made that, I license it to y'all for distribution and I own it. Got it.
Got it.

Speaker 1 That's the argument. Well, salute, dude.
But it's still, it's still.

Speaker 1 Counterpoint Joe?

Speaker 1 I wouldn't even listen.

Speaker 1 I was looking at the next side. I don't care about.
I don't care. If it's independent, if it's not independent, hey, you niggas do what's best for y'all.
It's y'all career. Take full control of it.

Speaker 1 Don't listen to them niggas on the podcast. Do what you want to do.
Respect. And that's what it sounds like you did.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's why I don't have nothing. Yeah.
I ain't got nothing back to you. I don't have enough beep with it.
I want to see if Uzi can catch another one.

Speaker 1 It's been a couple years. That's all I'm looking to see.
You said what? It's been a couple years since he called her.

Speaker 1 I thought that was last summer. I want to rock.
Not at all. Two years or two.
No, two years ago. It was a while ago.

Speaker 1 I want to rock was one of the ones, though. It might have been three something.
It might have been. It was three.
It might have been three.

Speaker 1 Like it's been a little second. You them two.
You can coast for a little bit. That's a big one.
Right. Yeah.
That one in the XO tour life

Speaker 1 and x0 tour life might have been seven years yeah that was longer it might have been longer than that yeah so but again

Speaker 1 good luck good luck to uzi man i don't have nothing bad we already put a record out i didn't get a chance to hear it yet but you know interested to see how he moves going forward for sure yeah i don't have nothing to say about congrats you little niggas that's cooking go ahead man get y'all off um

Speaker 1 We don't need to talk about Kenyon versus Draymond. We can save it for Patreon.
JT went off on stage. I can say that for Patreon.
Summer Walker,

Speaker 1 which we did speak about a little on Patreon.

Speaker 1 I'm only bringing it up because it continued after we left. It did.
Where Summer said that Torrey sent boxes of pizza to us.

Speaker 1 There were more words exchanged.

Speaker 1 Right now online,

Speaker 1 they floating around pictures of Summer's roster,

Speaker 1 like in totality.

Speaker 1 And I grew since last week, so I know. Hey, that's right.

Speaker 1 Let me see the pictures game. I'll do it.
You want to see it? Let me see it. I got you.
You know how I say it, but my nigga Rich the Kid. Rich the Kid got them out here.

Speaker 1 Hit a little swipe right there.

Speaker 1 Look. Yo.
Hit the swipe, though. For real.

Speaker 1 Larry, all right. Salute.
All right. London on the track.
Shout out to London. Lil Meach.

Speaker 1 Look at these niggas.

Speaker 1 Rico Reckless. They all look like they get heat from radiators.
Rich the Kid.

Speaker 1 No, they don't. They got radiators in their bathroom.
She got a type, though. No, I'm telling you.
She got a type.

Speaker 1 What's the type? What's the type, Flip?

Speaker 1 I don't know, man. Like, just these

Speaker 1 young, drill-looking niggas.

Speaker 1 Salute. That's why just what she's trying to be on ain't really believable for her.
I'm going to shut up because that's me and women's business again. But all of that,

Speaker 1 they get these niggas to trick on me, spin on me, yada, yada, yada. It just don't.
It just

Speaker 1 one, it don't look right. One, two, I wanted to ask y'all,

Speaker 1 what is your opinion on the girl carrying it that way when she's rich?

Speaker 1 Well, fraud and what do you mean? Like, like, trick on me? Summer Walker is rich. Okay.

Speaker 1 Career thriving better than most. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 What is it? Does it mean anything to y'all when she's the one like

Speaker 1 niggas got to spend it, niggas got to trick, niggas got to take me on trips. I'm not getting emotionally tested under these niggas if they're not spending that bread, yada yada.
Does it do anything?

Speaker 1 Is there any difference to y'all when she's up? We ain't wasn't no different when Carisha was doing it or when a couple of these other ones who was doing it? Nobody ever looked thought Carisha was up.

Speaker 1 Nobody ever thought Carisha was up. She was a city girl, Florida.
From day one, she was on something. That's what time it was.
Nobody ever looked at her like she's up, up, up.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're saying some of Walker's up, up, up. Some of Walker's all the way up.

Speaker 1 She's up like Fat Joe Paws.

Speaker 1 The song. I know, I know.

Speaker 1 That would have been mean on a clip up.

Speaker 1 So does it change anything? Is what I'm asking y'all. If no, no, then we'll move on.

Speaker 1 I particularly don't. It don't change nothing for me.

Speaker 1 I think you just.

Speaker 1 This is the stage, the acting stage. She could have a type and be on this type of shit right now, and both things could be true.

Speaker 1 I think, and again, I'm minding my business. Any of you bitches out there that is the side

Speaker 1 that are practicing side habits, do you? I don't have nothing to say. But y'all can't talk about how a nigga is, how a nigga is with a girl.

Speaker 1 Like, and that's where I think the side girl, the side chick rules get fucked up a little bit. Whatever you did on the side, cool.

Speaker 1 The second you start bringing that to homeboy's girl front door on some, he's been with everybody, he did this, he did this to me, and he don't want you to, he's still there. Yeah, I don't like that.

Speaker 1 He's still there. It ain't, that ain't.

Speaker 1 We can't talk about it. We can't, though, because it's a room full of dudes.
We can't say nothing about it. We can move on.

Speaker 1 Know your place.

Speaker 1 That's it. Stay out the casket.
That's it.

Speaker 1 Summer Walker seemed like an annoying side.

Speaker 1 And not even for what she's doing. But I wouldn't even play with nobody that could go make a hit off you that fast.

Speaker 1 She's going to turn your little ass to a song, boy, whatever you do. You and your girl.

Speaker 1 You're going to be track seven.

Speaker 1 I'm not playing with no bitch like that. You got little bitches.
I picked for a sign. They was having.
All right.

Speaker 1 Back to you, Mark.

Speaker 1 I got nothing. All right, man.

Speaker 1 You just got no dads, jobs, pressure off a boat.

Speaker 1 Barely got clothes. Hola.
Hola.

Speaker 1 Adora. So all they know was Dora.

Speaker 1 That's all they could say.

Speaker 1 You started it. Joe.
Hola.

Speaker 1 But real quick, it'd be the ones that pretend to be something else.

Speaker 1 She's sounding crazy on me. I can't believe that was some of her.
I can't rock with someone on this one. Nigga, name me Pizza.
Y'all wish I could talk.

Speaker 1 You could talk.

Speaker 1 Your hair growing back too, nigga.

Speaker 1 With a turkey? I got a few ideas of why.

Speaker 1 I got a few ideas of why. Yeah, shit, it's powerful.

Speaker 1 It got some elixir in it.

Speaker 1 Got some magic. Magic you.

Speaker 1 Like that Benjamin Button in the pussy.

Speaker 1 That's insane. Looking good, yo.

Speaker 1 You look good, man. You know about girls like that, though, right? Like that, just front.
That's all the front. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's all front. That's what I said.
Nigga, put that. Niggas got to stop fucking annoying side chicks, too.
Not if they pay. You knew when the side chick was annoying.
Not if they paying.

Speaker 1 Nigga, put that thunderstick down. That's the other reason.
I don't want to hear that from someone. That's a thunderstick.

Speaker 1 That's the first time. That's why I don't want to hear that shit.
Niggas is pulling up one summer and draining that bacon. It's a bus down waiting at the end of that bus.

Speaker 1 Some, I love you.

Speaker 1 I'm going. I'm staying out of women's business.
Back to Mark.

Speaker 1 I think we did it, y'all. All right.
We did. Make some noise for y'all, man.

Speaker 1 We did it. We absolutely did it.

Speaker 1 I'm playing Mario for my sleeper. I am.
Let's bring sleepers back. I'm going with Mario.
This is off his album, Mood Swings. Song is called Still in Love.

Speaker 1 Girl, I tried to live

Speaker 1 without you.

Speaker 1 But every road just leads me back.

Speaker 1 No one else can get

Speaker 1 outside.

Speaker 1 No one else can look like that.

Speaker 1 You are in love,

Speaker 1 can't let go.

Speaker 1 No matter where I turn, my heart says no.

Speaker 1 I try to go,

Speaker 1 but I can't break through.

Speaker 1 I'm still in love

Speaker 1 with you. Still got my messages already.

Speaker 1 You say you need a little time, so I gave you that spare expedit.

Speaker 1 But why are you working so hard when you really lie? You know you took it too far when you hit the block. You used to play in my bed, now you play with my head.
On the shit ain't fair, I try to live

Speaker 1 without you.

Speaker 1 But every road just leads me back.

Speaker 1 No one left you.

Speaker 1 No one else can look

Speaker 1 like that.

Speaker 1 No one else.

Speaker 1 Can't get up.

Speaker 1 No matter where I turn

Speaker 1 my heart says more.

Speaker 1 I've tried to move on,

Speaker 1 but I can't break no longer.

Speaker 1 still in love

Speaker 1 with you.

Speaker 1 Oh, baby, come

Speaker 1 back to me.

Speaker 1 You're the air,

Speaker 1 you're the air. I need to breathe

Speaker 1 on.

Speaker 1 My heart is low.

Speaker 1 I try to move on,

Speaker 1 but I can't break through.

Speaker 1 I'm feeling love.

Speaker 1 Can't break,

Speaker 1 no matter where I turn.

Speaker 1 My heart says,

Speaker 1 I'm still alive.

Speaker 1 I hate when y'all niggas do that. Y'all wait till the last 20 seconds of a song for the guitar to come in on a fade-out.

Speaker 1 Listen to him. Let the fucking guitar go, man.

Speaker 1 Brand new music for Mario. That record is called Still in Love off of his Mood Swings album, available on your phone and on DSPs right this very second.

Speaker 1 That Daylight album is incredible. I'm playing something off daylight.
Special.

Speaker 1 I knew you were asked why I didn't even pick Daylight.

Speaker 1 That album, though. That Meek EP I heard, that is good.
I love the first two records of that meek shit. That's why I said, it's the first Disability.
It's the first Deuce the Pro.

Speaker 1 What y'all got? I'm going to Memphis. This is Walk'em Down Don Trip.

Speaker 1 Rather shine. Time to get money.

Speaker 1 He started with an ice throat clear.

Speaker 1 Rather shine, time to get this money. That's my type of time.
I'm a rider, but of money calling, then it's time to drive. Always keep the spread just in case.
I gotta fight a five.

Speaker 1 I ain't never ran in my life, bitch. I'm Michael Pies.

Speaker 1 won't stop offering the truth till they run out of lies ain't a rap nigga on this planet that I idolize old rap niggas in they feelin's I won't slap them fire button I'm a giant we ain't never gon' see eye to eye all that beef shit get put to sleep lil' nigga rock a vibe but if you get hit on accident if I pocket down raised by the Memphis city streets I'm like a foster child better know I'm always locked in like I lost a trial still on the road to riches I'm not wealthy yet.

Speaker 1 If I'm not somewhere getting to a check, then doing well this check. Tried to make my mama pride of me.
I might have failed at that, but there's a silver lining.

Speaker 1 Cause my sons ain't out here selling crack. Every time I leave my driveway, I'm trying to have it back.
The streets don't really love a living soul. They be setting traps.

Speaker 1 I am not concerned a little bit if I don't benefit. Cause trust is just a file and the word.
And niggas illiterate. I'm bout mine.
You should get about yours. You was out here showing out.

Speaker 1 Fucked around. got outscored.
You lucky I got married, I had a bitch you love on all fours. Using every hole, now you're lated like a golf course.

Speaker 1 Oh boy, let's resort to violence. I love nothing more than bloodshed.
If you don't fuck with me, but it enough said, Fuck yeah, call your bros, we can hold court. Like it's final four.

Speaker 1 The doctor said my lungs was full of soot. I want all the smoke, rise and shine.
Time to go get pain, set my alarm cry. And I've been out here chasing cheddar non-stop.
They say you only get one shot.

Speaker 1 unless we're talking about gunshots. And if you plan to take it down, then it's going down like young job.
Long live,

Speaker 1 long live.

Speaker 1 Long live.

Speaker 1 Long live.

Speaker 1 And that is Welcome Down. Don Tripp.
That's off his new album, Forgiveness is God's Job, Part One.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Don Tripp, man. That's one of the better beat flips I've heard with that song.
Yeah, with Isaac A.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm going going Daylight. I'm playing NF.
This is with Black Thought produced by DJ Premier.

Speaker 1 Don't make me laugh, niggas funny.

Speaker 1 You can't duplicate the sound, boy.

Speaker 1 Don't make me laugh, niggas funny.

Speaker 1 Nigga, a noun

Speaker 1 usually disparaging and offensive. A term used to refer to or address a black person.
Don't make me laugh, niggas funny, fuck.

Speaker 1 Funny, an adjective, providing fun, causing amusement or laughter. Or warranted suspicion, like you, motherfuckers.
Don't make me laugh, niggas funny, niggas funny.

Speaker 1 She walk around with her top down. Let me talk in the ear.
She knows me a sock sound.

Speaker 1 Some do it for the culture. We do it for cultivating the mind.
It's knocked down. We worth millions, but not millionaires.
Cause music industry rules are in disrepair yet.

Speaker 1 Matrimony of time embody intervenes of wisdom to right the wrongs of any would-be king. They offer in a castle, but who owns the land? Questions rarely asked in becoming a man.

Speaker 1 See, way back when we were teens and wide-eyed with the third one closed, while the nose breathing up the glitz, trying to catch a whiff of the fame and gather any shine on a name.

Speaker 1 But jealousy rained down from those who thoughts are never sunny saying don't make me laugh niggas funny it be that textbook hood dilemmas when you bout to gain like jealous ones want to install the dimmers now it's the same as then a nigga heart is on hate while his face lies to you if a grin is where the evil lie lurks watch another's approving of your works one too many praises raises their blood with fermented frowns or a smirk they throw mud while saying don't make me laugh niggas funny and the elder steady telling the youth that wisdoms being pulled out the hood as if attached to a tooth.

Speaker 1 And now nerves expose. Girls trying to set the boys on the right track.
They like the nerve of them hoes.

Speaker 1 I suppose when they were kids, they watched cartoons and flew around their room like the man from Krypton. As they got older, you know what some do.

Speaker 1 They separate red and blue and get their blood from Crips on.

Speaker 1 So many mesmerized by the mess. They hit a ringing in their ears.
That's the gods trying to align them. But unlike pianos, they choose to be out of tune.
So that's where you find them.

Speaker 1 A wrench with the stench for somebody else has come up. Especially when our skin is indigenous to the sun up.

Speaker 1 I run up to write on the page of life, but they snatch it from me while saying don't make me laugh, niggas funny. And on the other side of this, you have them funny style niggas talking with a hiss.

Speaker 1 They fashion, nobody fouling, flashing. Trying to get a reaction from the crowd.
It's wild. To knock this kid on his ass, we're unallowed.
All these bird niggas missing their words is running round.

Speaker 1 Out here waiting for the man like Velvet Underground. Small brothers keep convincing themselves to dumb it down.
Picking poison off of bodega shelves to numb it now.

Speaker 1 Listen, when it gets ugly, quit fast and in a hurry. Sometimes it boils down.
And who had the biggest money? Or the one who feel he wanted enough to get it from you? Think you hungry enough?

Speaker 1 Don't make me laugh.

Speaker 1 I'm sick of following the masses. I'm sick of giving up game.
The niggas failing classes. Niggas lame.
I'm sick of half-ass hip-hop flows. Sick of passport roles.

Speaker 1 Sick of hoes with the same fat ass and short nose. Uh-oh.
They coming for me. Them clones wanna summy.
But sorties with the cookies and scones, they love to love me.

Speaker 1 Probably why some clowns where they suppose to mean mug me, I mean literally. Don't make me laugh, niggas funny.
I'm from Fifth and McKean, where people living between horror and hell.

Speaker 1 Convince you that they just living a dream. Every day, another reason to play the visiting team.

Speaker 1 They say the meat of the make is if you could live from a sheen where the stars don't shine bright and days ain't sunny. It's the struggle to fly right and claim victory in the subtleest twilight.

Speaker 1 But dang shit, tell me, check the history. Don't make me laugh, niggas funny, niggas funny.

Speaker 1 That's De Los Hol Black Thought

Speaker 1 NF Cabin in the Sky is out now, and it is a phenomenal album. Cop that

Speaker 1 bigish. I'm going to Lil Bro.
Simba just put out a single. Okay.
Congrats to him. He off Atlantic.
Oh, shit. Okay.

Speaker 1 Fight that he was having. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they running away. It's I.M.

Speaker 1 Back in 2015, I had stepped on the scene with a couple thousand dollars in a bag of clothes. I left Northern California with a plan to become the biggest rapper.
Come back and put everybody on.

Speaker 1 You see, I thought a lack of money was the reason I was having trouble trying to get the places I was trying to go.

Speaker 1 But honestly, it wasn't money, it was me believing I knew everything about everything I didn't know.

Speaker 1 Whoa, sometimes I wish I would have walked down a cerebral path and thought about a better way to beat a nigga's ass My emotions is the homie that you can't escape A troubled child that you love enough to never hate All a nigga ever wanted was to rock shows Cop clothes, drive S5Os and knock hoes Before I had a rap check, boy, I had a trap check Shout out to my VA niggas gettin' to the doe My idols was not drug dealers or thug niggas I was just somebody that hung with them I wanted to be like a Malcolm, a Martin, a Marvin, an artist Someone that sheds light without darkness, huh?

Speaker 1 Someone that helps this community come up with a plan and not take the shortcut through every circumstance. But I am temptation's biggest fan.

Speaker 1 It's like the man I wanna be don't get along with the nigga I am.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I am

Speaker 1 flawed.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's like the man I wanna be don't get along with the nigga I am.

Speaker 1 I know I ain't the only one who go through that.

Speaker 1 Where the person you wanna be just can't be in public.

Speaker 1 Look, let's take a blast to the past. When I met my nigga Cass, I had just dropped a tape that I thought was lit.
I had a couple cool songs, but I was singing on some records.

Speaker 1 He was looking at me like, what the fuck is this? I tried to tell him people's telling me that rap is dead. They'd rather hear something with melody instead.

Speaker 1 He shook his head and said, Nah, man, you better than that. Instead of running from rap, you gotta bring this shit back.

Speaker 1 See, as a man, well, especially a black man, we wear so many different hats, it's hard for us to find ourselves. You a gangster in the streets, but you preaching for peace.

Speaker 1 Gotta smile, tuck your chain, and hook the private police. I nearly lost everything that I love from drinking liquor and bug.
Man, I done missed more shots than Elmer Fudd.

Speaker 1 I could have did a song with a rapper we all love. But I was busy popping bottles and kissing bitches and clubs.
I blame the way I grew up. I'm my daddy's son.

Speaker 1 An infidelity baby, my father knows I'm one. He did my mama wrong, but I will never notice nothing.
That's why I used to cheat a lot, cause I felt like I owe him one.

Speaker 1 I tried not to follow his footsteps. I took a stance to treat my son's mom with respect that she should demand.
But I am Temptation's biggest fan.

Speaker 1 It's like the man I want to be don't get along with the nigga I am.

Speaker 1 That is Simba and Dr. Clips.
I am. That was fire.
That's super tough. Shout out to Simba.

Speaker 1 Mark? I'm going with my girl. Going to the underground.
I'm going with my girl No Name. She dropped her first single from her upcoming album.
Shout out to No Name.

Speaker 1 It's called 100 Acres featuring Devin Morrison. Let's

Speaker 1 If this the last supper, then my love for getting three plates, liberate a free state. Communism sweepstakes, we wanna island.
I'm selling CB to Poseidon.

Speaker 1 He gave his free housing something to spend a life in. My heart buck out.
Animated like a black cookout. The Johnny Bravo, he the white lookout.
Don't look up. Don't worry about it, baby.

Speaker 1 Everybody eating good. Yeah, I'm eating honey with Winnie and Hundred April Woods.
We in the deep south getting coin. I'm in the library packing up books.
Tell your nigga join. I tell your nigga jump.

Speaker 1 I'm a boss. I'm a hunt.
He can catch it. He can pick the book of the month.
And yes, I mean that. I wrote this on my beanbag.
I sacrificed my sanity, hoping to get my dream back.

Speaker 1 A clean rag on a dusty floor. Wrap underground princess.
The love galore.

Speaker 1 I know somebody better give me my cheese.

Speaker 1 I'ma have to get mine from these feet
