Somebody been checking me on their social media. I digress.
It's not I yield. How do you properly? I don't know how you got to ask him, but I know.

Speaker 1 We use a lot of words wrong. I just.

Speaker 1 I make a list, and every once in a while, I'll be. That's fucked up.
Something like once a month I'll intervene. You're not down to help us?

Speaker 1 Like, today's word is, y'all say willfully obtuse all the time. Obtuse means to be willfully sort of not understanding.
It's redundant to say willfully obtuse. But everybody says it all the time.

Speaker 1 It drives me crazy. But I said I wouldn't say anything about it.
But since it came up, your homegirl said, I absolutely did because sometimes you got to double up on it.

Speaker 2 Sometimes you got to double up on it.

Speaker 1 You trying to put that on us or your homegirl? I said, us, us, not us.

Speaker 1 Other people have said it too.

Speaker 2 I was the last one to use the phrase, and I meant to use it for, like, to double up on it.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 2 like, literally, when I say you're so, dark

Speaker 2 when I say the thing like when I say like you're so repugnant the word repugnant finds you repugnant kind of thing like that's my intention.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but let's get back to this woofully of tooth thing.

Speaker 1 So your intent is to double up double shot of Express.

Speaker 2 Your intent is to sometimes sometimes I feel then I feel it necessary to do so, yes.

Speaker 1 What do you think about that?

Speaker 1 I think it's a beautiful day outside. It is a beautiful day.
I love you, Mel. How you doing today? You good? I'm fantastic.
Look, Flip, how you doing, brother? I'm doing well.

Speaker 1 I'm on Mel's side in this one. It's like when we say tuna fish

Speaker 1 as opposed to a tuna. Right.
Oh,

Speaker 1 obviously.

Speaker 1 Tuna.

Speaker 1 It's your tuna. Got it.
Okay. Yeah.
Right. I see the type of shit y'all on.
Yeah, they're on bullshit. For sure.
But we digress.

Speaker 1 Willfully. Willfully digress.

Speaker 1 I yield.

Speaker 1 I love y'all, man. You let niggas get shit off us.
We sound crazy. Sometimes we be sad, especially me, sound crazy.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Who have you been listening to?

Speaker 1 Just people, just professors. Yo, we saying a lot of wrong shit up there.

Speaker 1 It's not just you, it's everybody. I get it.
Hey, but you don't help.

Speaker 1 I don't think you're for the black man. I don't think you're for the black man like I thought you was.

Speaker 1 my lawyer, my turties.

Speaker 1 So, sorry. Get with the home team, baby.

Speaker 1 Oh, Rich.

Speaker 1 So you only...

Speaker 1 Let him laugh. Let me just laugh, hold on.
No, that was really funny. Marcus.

Speaker 1 You got to ask. Ask him the question.

Speaker 1 So you don't believe that you have a black lawyer? That should be investigated. Yeah, get him flip.
You don't believe you should have a black lawyer? No, I think you should.

Speaker 1 I think you absolutely should. Can you?

Speaker 1 I think you should have a lawyer. Why don't you have a bunch of people? Why don't you have a black

Speaker 1 you have a black agent. Why don't you support our community by putting money back in the blacks' pockets? I put money in the blacks' pockets every day.
No, let's talk about that. The ones that...

Speaker 1 You support the blacks. What about your lawyer and your attorney? It just worked out the same thing.
Honestly, it just worked out that way. When I went into William Morris Endeavor, I would have.

Speaker 1 Happily. Don't be shouting at you.
Don't be shouting at you. Hey, put your mic down a little more into your mouth, Paul's.

Speaker 1 This is about to be awesome.

Speaker 1 I don't want to hear every word. I don't want to miss a thing.
And what doctor you prefer? What type of doctor?

Speaker 1 I bought mine, so it don't matter. Huh? That's what I heard.

Speaker 2 No, he didn't say doctorate. Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, I know. It's okay, though.

Speaker 1 I don't say that. Wait, you bought your doctorate? That's what I heard on the internet yesterday.
What did you say? What doctor do you prefer?

Speaker 1 To perform an operation? Oh, like the race of the doctor? My doctor, you know what? I do have a black doctor. I have a

Speaker 1 black woman doctor and a black woman this. Oh, yeah.
Oh. Good choice.

Speaker 1 Good choice.

Speaker 1 Good choice.

Speaker 1 I know that there was a study done that

Speaker 1 black women doctors. What's better care? Yes, exactly.
Yo, come on.

Speaker 2 A peer-reviewed study.

Speaker 1 Please, ma'am.

Speaker 1 Sorry. Yeah, please.
I don't have to get a colonoscopy from a black woman. Yo, it's a lot of y'all that's riding on the I Support Black Women Wagon and y'all are just a different type of horny.

Speaker 1 That's all it is. His freaks.
It's a lot of y'all that's waving the flag of the black woman doctor and a surgeon. You missed it.
He just said he's getting a colonoscopy from a black woman.

Speaker 1 These niggas are just horny. Next week.
That's a different level. They're horny.
They always leave out a word they always leave out a word they support fine black women that see i don't even look at

Speaker 1 mark

Speaker 1 i don't happily make

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 she only

Speaker 1 hating that's exposed hate i'm not hating

Speaker 1 don't be willfully obtuse

Speaker 1 when i'm looking for a doctor i don't look to see if she's bad or not because like that yes you do nah yes you do not for a doctor yes you you do.

Speaker 2 If you're getting a camera shoved up your ass, I feel like you might not want her to be fine, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's actually a good point. How come when men keep talking,

Speaker 2 a woman has the audacity to talk? Yes.

Speaker 2 Sorry, I think that's why I got fucking hired.

Speaker 1 But anyways, go off. Because what I'm saying is one of those things where you have to have a penis, and I'm not beefing.
I love you.

Speaker 1 But I think because you have a penis, yeah, you don't

Speaker 1 have to want your. No, no, I'm not talking about.
Yes, I'm talking about it.

Speaker 1 I was like, whoa, this episode took a turn. No, no, no.

Speaker 2 I definitely don't have a penis. I definitely definitely don't have a pleasure.

Speaker 1 You want your doctor to be the best doctor. True.
Yes. I believe that.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Because you have a penis,

Speaker 1 you notice

Speaker 1 what level of defined

Speaker 1 scale she falls off. Yeah, when I get off that,

Speaker 1 I'm not choosing her based on that. But when I get there, I notice, yeah.
Okay, yeah, yeah. But I ain't looking for it.
Whereas there are some jobs where I wouldn't know how to blind to the.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'll take

Speaker 1 Resputia. No, nigga.
Wow. You know what? You look.

Speaker 1 But certain jobs you do care. Like, you want your agent to be attractive to this.
This right here

Speaker 1 is why Bill Bird's special was so amazing to me. I love that.

Speaker 1 I need to watch it. I love that social media.
It was good. It was so genius.
And

Speaker 1 we'll talk about it later.

Speaker 1 But it was so,

Speaker 1 he said a lot of just

Speaker 1 wild shit, but... in the simplest of

Speaker 1 fashions. That's it.

Speaker 1 I actually want to talk to y'all about something he said. But we should start the part.

Speaker 1 We should start the part.

Speaker 1 I guess we'll have all of those talks. I thought she was a cheat coat a little bit.
And I got mad just bullshit written in my phone. I didn't want to tell y'all and fill that old board up.

Speaker 1 It is a bunch of bullshit. Great.
That's good.

Speaker 1 I'm down for it.

Speaker 1 No one felt complimentary.

Speaker 1 At all.

Speaker 1 Not even a little bit. Okay.

Speaker 1 She said, I said that on purpose. She freestyle that shit immediately.

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 and she got serious, but she looked at me. She said, they got some bullshit friendship.
I hate that that friendship shit. That freestyle was crazy, though.

Speaker 1 He said, Yo, we sometimes up here say things oxymorons.

Speaker 1 It's like, who said it? Who said that last? Then Mel said, well, I said it last, but I meant that. Yeah, nigga.
Like, nah, point it that direction, nigga. Talk to each other.

Speaker 2 But actually, it's not oxymoronic.

Speaker 1 Signs and the pom-poms and all that stuff. Act a full ass out there.
Yeah. Only me.
Get them a little nervous. Just a little.
Fuck them. Honey, watch them.
And take a while at the food truck.

Speaker 1 And just stand there asking Mac, what you got?

Speaker 1 What'd that come with? Man, ignorant. Man, ignorant, nigga.

Speaker 1 Let me get everything on.

Speaker 1 Somebody starts. Yo, you good? Let me get everything on it.
Matter of fact, give me another hot dog.

Speaker 1 You want one? Yeah. Fuck that.

Speaker 1 Get them a hard time. We walk in front of them while they be.
I don't give a fuck. Yeah, people be having some nerves, yo.

Speaker 1 They talk out of the broken. It's St.
Patrick's Day, man.

Speaker 1 I forgot about St. Patrick's Day, Joe.
You know, me too.

Speaker 1 This used to be lit when I was drinking. It was a Monday.
It's a rough day for a holiday. The news this morning.
Especially a drinking holiday. Came on.
They started showing you the St.

Speaker 1 Patty's parade. See, that added to my depression, too.
I forgot about that. Added to my depression, too.
I'm seeing these niggas, they like, this is the longest ten-year parade. It's been here.

Speaker 1 We've held this here for hundreds of years. I'm like,

Speaker 1 so let me get this dreaded. Everybody get a parade,

Speaker 1 except for some niggas.

Speaker 1 That's not true. What parade? What parade we got? They got the African American parade.
They got the shit up there in Brooklyn. They got the nigga.

Speaker 1 Right before Labor Day.

Speaker 1 They got that.

Speaker 1 They got the Labor Day parade.

Speaker 1 They got the Dominican Day parade. They got the Puerto Rican Day Parade.
They got the African American Day Parade. That should be like at a time.
In Harlem. Yo, what are y'all talking about?

Speaker 1 The African Day Parade. We got Harlem Week.

Speaker 1 We got Harlem Week. The African Day Parade, African American Day Parade.
It don't be broadcast as much. It ain't no TV.
Eastern Parkway. Hey, let me tell y'all niggas in Brooklyn something.

Speaker 1 Nigga, you know, we all go watching something. Hey, let me tell y'all.
Y'all got about maybe one more of those up there before they pull the plot.

Speaker 1 They've been saying that for years. I know.
I know.

Speaker 1 and every day, every year they don't do it,

Speaker 1 somebody gets shot, kill more niggas since I was 17.

Speaker 1 Since I was 17 years old, it's not more people that die, Joe. I was there, I was there last year.
So it's getting safer. Lip, I'm not from one of a shooting to me, is as bad as a murder.

Speaker 1 Like, if a nigga lived, the fact that you shot,

Speaker 1 the fact that you shot at

Speaker 1 all a shooting. Oh, my God, on dayline.
All right, enough daylight. But the girl and her roommate, the girl's ex came in and shot both of them in the head.

Speaker 1 They lived.

Speaker 1 The roommate, the bullet got stuck in a place where it kept her alive the whole time. Oh, bro.
She didn't bleed out. She laid there for nine hours.
The cops came and got her to a hospital. She lived.

Speaker 1 Good for her.

Speaker 1 So she came in the courts about to testify.

Speaker 1 Don't laugh. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 She was a little.

Speaker 2 She never needed to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 She stand past you.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 No, but she testified and she forgave him and she handed him a Bible.

Speaker 1 He still went to jail.

Speaker 1 But he had a Bible to go with. Right.
He had some red.

Speaker 1 She came in different. Good for her.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah. Forgiveness.
She's a little different now. Okay.
But her speech is fine.

Speaker 1 Okay. Her eyes a little wonky.
Yeah. That's to be a case.
And she can only use one arm now. Shit.
Oh.

Speaker 1 But she's a lot. Yeah.
Shout out to her. Shout out to her first side.
All right, come on, man. What are we talking about? I'm all over the place.
What are we doing? What are we doing?

Speaker 1 What's the talking about living and dying? You came in here and had me think Mariah Carey was dead. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 You made my heart stop. You're not going to walk that one in at all, huh?

Speaker 1 Is that a bad place to start? I'm rolling. Nah, let's go.

Speaker 1 Man, he's like, all the shit was on the board. First of all, all y'all was somber.
He wearing black. You wearing black.
You wearing black.

Speaker 1 I'm thinking, I missed some shit because I had some emergency today. I come in, you're like, write the Mariah tribute on the board.
I'm thinking Mariah died or got hit by a bus or something.

Speaker 1 Mariah Carey is not anymore.

Speaker 1 I was like, what happened to Mariah? You're only getting married after three years.

Speaker 1 We just even know buses exist.

Speaker 1 How it saw it is that we were talking about the shade that Mariah displayed against Money Long while she was performing Mariah's song.

Speaker 1 So we were talking about tributes and how, you know, who accepts and who's receptive to tributes, who has done a

Speaker 1 great tribute to a person that might still be alive or might have passed away. So that's how the conversation with Mariah happened.

Speaker 2 And so one of the good examples was Deion Warwick and Lutheran.

Speaker 1 I brought that up, yeah. And I played it.
And she seemed to be just

Speaker 1 by it. Wait, hold up.

Speaker 1 Hold up for two seconds because y'all are about to make us sound like we had sense during that talk.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, then we went.

Speaker 1 I finally started having sense. Why you want to fuck my shit up?

Speaker 1 I'm finally starting to do good. Then we're coming back to do good.

Speaker 1 We're going to come right back. So we're back in the chat.
We're coming right back. Save this sensible moment that you're about to have.
No, you can do it. You can do it.
You can do it. I tell you.

Speaker 1 Save this sensible moment. We'll put a pin in it.

Speaker 1 We started with telling Brother

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 that's you

Speaker 1 because when I go to sleep early now, I got to put it on right here. He's depressed.

Speaker 1 When niggas depressed, when niggas depressed, they want all type of recognition and acknowledgement from their loved ones. He waiting for it.
Did you text me? You text me?

Speaker 1 He asked for the text. Y'all missed your text.

Speaker 1 Fucking dad, wife got in a car accident.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Is she okay? Is she all right? I know how he feels because I get like this.

Speaker 1 He's not wrong. Like, you just start to look at shit around you.
Like, you look at your kids. He's right.

Speaker 1 He called this morning with how much the insurance will put on the rent-a-car. Nigga, I knew that yesterday.

Speaker 1 Hey, when you called yesterday, I knew that they only had $50 for you a week for that rent-a-car. That's not just $20.
$30 a day. That's a day.

Speaker 1 You don't lie to me.

Speaker 1 I've heard black people go through this beef for years about what the insurance company is willing to put on your rental car. $30 a day.

Speaker 1 The insurance company clearly never been to the rent-a-car plate. They don't get the car.
They want you to get the key. $30 to get it done, right? What you don't realize is what that $30 gets you.

Speaker 1 Niggas always want to go to the rental and get the fly shit. No, nigga, that's $70 a day, nigga.

Speaker 1 I didn't even know the rental had other places. Oh, other joints.
Oh, we got it. The fly shit, nigga.
Now you get a little more shit.

Speaker 1 You get a hellcat damn. You're right.

Speaker 1 They got the shit there. That shit like that.
So they cover the 30 and you play the rest. Yeah, you pay the difference.
Wait. So when I go rent a car, when I go down south,

Speaker 1 somebody does it for me. So they reserve the fly shit.
But when I get there and they start naming the fly shit, I don't be knowing what it is no more.

Speaker 1 Like when they named the BMW, we got the ex such and such and fella. I make them take me to go see it.

Speaker 1 So I could get eyes on these motherfuckers.

Speaker 1 But anyway, back to Mariah. Mariah, Mariah.
Mariah. The legend.
We tell Mark to write Mariah tribute on the board. Mark says, Oh my God, I thought she died.

Speaker 1 I was about to be, oh my God, so fucked up and horrible. Oh, I was about to.
He said that. Which led into a oh shit, you was about to be that fucked up if Mariah died.
Hell yeah. Conversation.

Speaker 1 I would have as well. Somewhere in that.
And I don't like this. I feel like we got to knock on wood.
Knock on wood with Mariah. We love Mariah.

Speaker 1 Somewhere in that, somebody brought up who Mariah was dating.

Speaker 1 Mark did. Rumored to be dating.
Rumored. Rumored.
Rumored to be dating.

Speaker 1 And then Mark said,

Speaker 1 a bunch of hate. A lot of hate.

Speaker 1 You asked me what I thought about that. Because I said, damn.

Speaker 1 I said, I didn't know I had a shot all that time.

Speaker 1 I didn't even hear that, but

Speaker 1 that's why they were laughing? Yeah.

Speaker 1 He said, you let Terry bowl? Yeah, so I just want y'all to know how ignorant we've been in this. Oh, and then Ian chimed in

Speaker 1 and say that

Speaker 1 he would never touch Mariah.

Speaker 1 I don't disagree with him. Some people, no matter how good they look, there's something about them that can make you say, I'm not attracted to this person no matter how fake people are.

Speaker 1 But that's not what he was saying.

Speaker 1 That's what he was saying.

Speaker 1 He said she's too old, basically. No, he did not say that.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 He's right there. He did.
He said that I would not fuck Mariah Carey. She just fell off.
He said she fell off. Yes.
Yeah. He literally said she was.
That means she's too old.

Speaker 1 Or she's not in the condition she would be in to meet Ian Stanley. She's not prom no more with superstars.
And Joe Stanley, which sounds ridiculous now. Joe To Ian.

Speaker 1 You tried to fuck the up-and-coming singer. Ian faced her red and said, Whoo!

Speaker 1 Put a name on it. Put a name on it.

Speaker 1 Because he already on my shit like so.

Speaker 1 I ain't got time for no more fucking Ian Luke.

Speaker 1 What Swan? Put a name on the bullet. He started thinking.
You can't just throw shit out there like that on that man. It's fine.
You know how many waitresses it is?

Speaker 1 I could have thrown a name, but I wouldn't have done that.

Speaker 2 It might not be appropriate now.

Speaker 1 Listen,

Speaker 1 some people see.

Speaker 1 The older that they get, or not saying Mariah, Mariah's beautiful. I think she's amazing.
But some people see,

Speaker 1 You lose that attraction to them.

Speaker 1 People would be full of shit. This is what I'm saying.
Niggas be full of shit. Niggas be full of shit.
Did you think, did you? This is my only question.

Speaker 1 You didn't think you had a shot at Mariah before?

Speaker 2 No, because who would?

Speaker 1 You do that so much. Yeah.
You do that so much. She put a cape on it.
And then it makes it seem like I'm suppressing you when I ain't. Wonder woman.
Take your shit off, yo. I'm cornering your man.

Speaker 1 He don't need help.

Speaker 1 When I was single, I liked my chances with just about everybody. There we go.
There we go.

Speaker 1 With a very small list.

Speaker 1 Big mom. Talk that shit.

Speaker 1 Who you thought you couldn't get when you were single? Gotta be somebody that's carrying Hallie Berry.

Speaker 1 She likes you, smart niggas. You probably wouldn't.
You know, I never thought about her in that way.

Speaker 1 See? No, not in this. Stop.
No, no, no. Let me just put that.
We're just lying on her. No, no, no.
That's not what I mean.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no. That's not what I mean.
What I mean is. Never talk about her.
Never looked at her. Never.
Oh, wow. She is attractive.
That's your mother.

Speaker 1 Wow. I never thought about it.
No, that's not what I I mean. I mean, like, I've been very, I've been friends with two people that she's dated, pretty good friends with one of them.
So

Speaker 1 she's in the category of like, that's my man's girl. So I just didn't think about like having a shot.

Speaker 1 I mean, she, I don't think about having a shot.

Speaker 1 I didn't even know you could put bullshit off bullshit, but

Speaker 1 sometimes you got to double up.

Speaker 1 See how effective it is? See how effective that shit is?

Speaker 1 Flip some bullshit. All right, Flip, go ahead and be sensible with this Mariah.
No, hold on, hold on. Before we get into that, listen.

Speaker 1 There's some women out here and some celebrities, namely women, that some niggas could say no to. I don't like how y'all was on Ian.
All you guys attacked the poor man.

Speaker 1 And if he says, yo, he's not poor. If he says, yo, look, listen, guys, I am not attracted.
I wouldn't sleep with her. You guys supposed to respect that.
I didn't like what you guys did.

Speaker 1 There's too much of that going on. You have to call your friends out with their lying.
Yeah, sometimes you're not. I don't even know what to do.
He's lying.

Speaker 1 Because I've never hung out with Ian one day in my life, and I guarantee you he's had at least three nights of very

Speaker 1 unmemorable,

Speaker 1 regrettable. Fuck mid.
I ain't talking about mid, below mid. Reggie.
So, but nigga, we all have mid and Ari at one point in the middle. But Mariah carries the line.

Speaker 1 If he would catch some of them boys in the sauna slipping, then I think Mariah has a shot.

Speaker 1 Catch some of them. Who? Wait, wait, what happened to the boys? Hold on.
The boys.

Speaker 1 The fuck up. Ian, you, what you was into?

Speaker 1 Because me and Ian talk on FaceTime every morning, but as soon as he gets in the sauna, it's time to hang up. And I know what

Speaker 1 I know what that sauna.

Speaker 1 I know what them sauna talks is about.

Speaker 1 Oh, he didn't. He is.

Speaker 1 So I'm just saying, if some of the sauna niggas could catch him slipping, I think Mariah. Mimi got a shot.
Let me ask you a question. Let me get it done.
Let me ask you a question.

Speaker 1 To me, shout out to Mariah. I mean, a lot of people changed their life for Mariah when she started dating our brother, Nick.
And I fuck with Nick Cannon. I think he fly.
He get all the niggas.

Speaker 1 But I remember a lot of people saying that online, and they didn't really know how Nick gave it up. He gets him.
But the optics of it was: nah, man, she fucked with that nigga.

Speaker 1 She fell off, which was not the case because niggas don't know how Nick carried. So we're ignorant like that.

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 1 I got a picture for myself at Wilding Out, nigga.

Speaker 1 I got a pitch for Wilding Out. You know what I'm about? The way you acting.
I don't know how you carry it. You are Wilding Out.

Speaker 1 I got to solidify my spot. Whoa.

Speaker 1 You want to sign? Okay, you got you.

Speaker 1 No razz, no razz. But yeah, anyway, let's move on.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Well, Mariah and the Money Long tribute, where was that? That was the

Speaker 1 awards. Yeah, I don't know.
One of them shits. I was saying that Maria.
One of the shits that we don't know about just pop up on the shit.

Speaker 1 I was saying that Mariah threw shade at Money Long, and then I asked the question tonight. But where was that? That was the AAC.
It wasn't the Billboard or the iHeart. The Nickelodeon Awards, right?

Speaker 1 Nigga, that shit's not even around no more. The Nickelodeon.
The PMAs, baby.

Speaker 1 Lifetime Achievement Award. I don't know.
Okay, so wait.

Speaker 2 Why do you say that she threw shade to shit?

Speaker 1 Her face, when she was singing, her face, her facial expression wasn't, and then like she was too pleased. Yes, it was the iHeart Music Award.
The iHeart Music Awards. She didn't look pleased.

Speaker 1 So then the next question I asked, I said, It was, Jay looked like she woke herself up with a fart. Like, it was.

Speaker 1 And then, and then Corey proceeded to tell me that Prince was also. Wait a second, yo.
Hold on. All right, nah.

Speaker 1 Wait.

Speaker 1 All right. I was looking for a way to be on Money Longside.

Speaker 1 You can't shade me at the iHeart Awards.

Speaker 1 Excuse me? Are you fucking crazy? No, that's where you came. Are you fucking nuts? No, that's where you shade.
That's where you shade. Yeah,

Speaker 1 are you fucking crazy?

Speaker 1 You don't want me out of my fucking castle for you. I don't need to come out.
Now, you heard what Nick told us. She don't leave the house.
How much it costs my dad to leave the house.

Speaker 1 A quarter million for her to leave the house. Respectfully, with all due respect,

Speaker 1 there's many people in that iHeart building that I love and fuck with. So I'm not trying to be shady.

Speaker 1 If I get a tribute at the iHeart Awards, that's like me going on the roller coaster at the fair.

Speaker 1 I expect for the toothless nigga down there to leave me up here elevated, longer than I'm supposed to be. I would expect for my tribute at the IHeart Awards to not be so

Speaker 1 grandiose.

Speaker 1 What are you talking about? Don't call it double dribble.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, yeah, no. That's like Amani calling foul, offensive foul, in our street ball game.

Speaker 1 Are you enough to?

Speaker 1 I'm all with Mariah being a diva, and I know that the divas can't cut off being a diva, so you bring you wherever you go, but

Speaker 1 you at the fucking iHeart Awards, yo. Stop it.
Yo, listen, listen. Stop it.
At the end of the day, Jess Hilarious could be up here doing your fucking tribute.

Speaker 1 Yo.

Speaker 1 What the fuck, yo? I'm just saying it. You know, they caught Mariah and told her who was doing the tribute, but they gave her the whole shit to get her out of her bed.
And I don't think Money Long.

Speaker 1 Money Long is dope. I don't know that.
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Money Long is dope. I think this sus one could have just called Mariah.
Like Mariah's fly with a few niggas that we know. Not to pop out, though.
I could be fly with you.

Speaker 1 Now you asking me to bring my and she might be cool with the Jewish niggas that run IR.

Speaker 1 She might own a piece of IR.

Speaker 1 We don't know none of her business. But if you get here and the fucking tribute is not so

Speaker 1 diamonds and pearls. Nah, stop it.
I'm not going to let you do this. When you big up Prince for doing the same thing with

Speaker 1 him at the fucking MTV awards or whatever that shit is. And I'm not going to let y'all do that.
I knew one of y'all was going to say that. Well?

Speaker 1 So for one, Prince has made it publicly clear to all, to the whole field, I'm against tributes. I'm not sure that Mariah hasn't either.
Prince has said it.

Speaker 1 So before he died, niggas knew it didn't really matter who was doing a tribute. He didn't want a tribute.
So the fact that y'all kept doing a tribute against his will was like, okay.

Speaker 1 And now that we have the footage of seeing him shave people at the tribute, like we understand. That's a murky tribe.
He don't want that.

Speaker 1 And Ness Prince and Trey Solomon was up there fucking that song up.

Speaker 1 Trey Solmes was up there

Speaker 1 ruining that fucking song. He was.
He was. I don't think Money Long was doing a horrible job.
She was not. She was not.

Speaker 1 That's part of the diva shit, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she can't just pariah. That's part of the diva.
Ain't nobody gonna do a good enough. The question that I had earlier.
You can't shave me at the fuck out of there.

Speaker 1 The question that I had earlier was

Speaker 1 what artists was satisfied with their tribute song or tribute performance that was dedicated to them? No, I'm good. And then I said, DJ Cassidy.
No, then I said,

Speaker 1 Then I said Dion Warwick was happy when Luther performed a tribute to her because she was extreme. She was crying.
And then Corey was like, well, that's Luther. And it's also personal.

Speaker 1 They're friends, anyway.

Speaker 1 Luther bodied it, bro. Don't try to accept their friends.

Speaker 2 He did, but they

Speaker 2 had a very strong personal relationship. Right.
Like, they did. So this was like seeing her like little mentee.

Speaker 1 So I didn't say that. If they didn't also loot her fucking band drivers.

Speaker 1 If they didn't have a personal relationship, you think that she would be as receptive? She might not have been crying. She might have liked it.
It's hard to hear somebody else do your song.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? And always love it. You know what I mean? I've seen people do Aretha.
Aretha keeps a steady face. Yeah, she'd be tight.
She was doing it. But Aretha's just like

Speaker 1 that shit. She didn't like, but Madonna did that shit.
The fans got at Madonna for doing Aretha Franklin tribute. I looked up.
She should not have done that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 She shouldn't have done that. Right.

Speaker 1 Some tributes are good. Obviously, Bob Marley wasn't alive for his tribute, but

Speaker 1 Rita Marley, the IT, all of them loved some of the renditions. They loved Lauren doing Turn Your Lights Down.
Yes, they did, yes. They loved Erica and Ziggy Marley doing their joint.

Speaker 1 They loved Queen Latifah doing No More Trouble.

Speaker 1 There's some people who did it well. Nigga, Michael,

Speaker 1 I was telling Ice that Michael got up and performed his own tribute nigga He saw usher and what's her name doing it?

Speaker 1 He's like yo get up Whitney bodied it when Whitney came out wanted to be started something Whitney came out she bodied it But when he saw that shit He said let me get up my brothers is doing a hard push.

Speaker 1 Let me get up here

Speaker 1 tribute should improve It should tribute should improve, but who who who do you put like how do you choose a person

Speaker 1 like like today They can't do

Speaker 1 you want to get names that are gonna attract viewership exactly and a lot of these motherfuckers can't sing. They can't sing.

Speaker 1 And they can't sing like they can't sing to the songs that they're trying to.

Speaker 1 There's also mismatches because even in like hip-hop, I forgot who there's been a couple occasions. I think Lupe with Tribe or something.
There was someone else that did. I forgot.
I forgot the words.

Speaker 1 Didn't know the biggie song.

Speaker 1 I forgot. That's bad.
They didn't know that. I said they hit hop.

Speaker 1 I've seen Fantasia do. Fantasia did Patty well.
Yeah. And that's like her niece.
Again, that's a love thing. And also, she's got that register.

Speaker 2 She's got the register and the range.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and they both like to holler. Like, they both hit notes, but holler.
Like, it's a style thing. It's a good fit.
That was Rich Homie Kwan. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I wasn't even thinking of that.

Speaker 1 That was a bad match. I agree with Joe.
Y'all need to update the tributes.

Speaker 1 Find somebody, nigga. Find somebody from America's Got Talent or something like that.
Somebody that's going to update the story. They go for Star Power instead of like actual match.

Speaker 1 Because there's some people out there on those shows that will body a tribute. Absolutely.
You know what I'm saying? Come on, bro.

Speaker 1 Again, it's business. We can't sell that to the advertisers.
We can sell, I got this name, this name, this name, this name. Like I Trey Soul doing Prince.
And that's right.

Speaker 1 And then I got the person that they're doing the tribute to sitting here in the crowd.

Speaker 1 I was selling. What I was watching where they tried the Stevie Wonder tribute

Speaker 1 recently. Yeah.
Let me look it up. That was really, really bad.
It was so bad, I was like, yo. Stevie right there.
Go get him.

Speaker 1 Bring him to the stage. Y'all, let him perform at every other damn thing he shouldn't be performing at.

Speaker 2 I think Janelle Monet was a part of that tribute.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. She was at the end of that.
That was, no, that was

Speaker 1 2015. Janelle Monet was in a bunch of them.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think you gotta have an ear for what sounds like. Remember when

Speaker 1 we hot about this. When Baby Face.

Speaker 1 Remember when Baby Face did his

Speaker 1 tiny desk and he had people sing the songs that he wrote? He didn't match stars. He matched voices.

Speaker 1 So he had Shantae Moore singing Superwoman. So that was perfect.

Speaker 1 She might have even improved on a Karen White version. I love Karen White's version, right?

Speaker 1 They had somebody do can we talk they had tank sing tank can sing his fucking face off tank can sing anybody under the table tank should be doing these tributes like get the voices that match

Speaker 1 Even if they're not the hottest name on the you know at the top of the billboard right today get legends or get people who can sing great I think they just want to piss the legends off. That's it

Speaker 1 But Joe you never answered your own question what which was

Speaker 1 who would get you on the ground crying the way you said I was for Mariah if somebody died.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's where the conversation

Speaker 1 got to that point. Who would be the people that would get y'all doing that? Oh, yeah, because I didn't know, I was saying to Mark, and I'm clearly,

Speaker 1 the rumors against me on this, which I'm fine with.

Speaker 1 I was saying, I didn't know that Mariah Carey was

Speaker 1 at that level to where black men were saying, oh, if something happened to her, I would be totally destroyed, right?

Speaker 1 Like, I was saying, I thought that was reserved for like the legacy, legacy acts, and I guess she is. She is a legacy act.
She really is in the game. She is.
Shit, more than that. More than that.

Speaker 1 I don't look at her like a legacy act right now.

Speaker 1 I don't.

Speaker 1 Has a number one song every year. Like, she's still visible.
She's still visible. We still see her.
We don't hear her because she's a diva. But I mean,

Speaker 1 I mean, she is a legacy actor. She's the legacy act.
She's one of the top selling jacks of all time. We know what it was

Speaker 1 for, like, our Stevie Wonders, the Mics, the Princes, the fucking Anita Baker. I think she's raised up.
I think she's enough. She's in that crew.
She's in that crew. She's getting old, bro.

Speaker 1 The people who are crying for

Speaker 1 Luther and for even Michael, like, they were younger. Michael was younger than Mariah is now, right? Yeah.
He's 50. Yeah.
Michael's 50. Mariah got to be in her mid-50s.
57. She's 77.

Speaker 1 No, I understand what y'all say. And y'all are absolutely right.
I do just think Mark is a liar. No,

Speaker 1 you never had to. Some of it is, I think.
Like, what was it that connected with you? Like, when was it?

Speaker 1 How many Mariah albums do you have? I bought, first of all, just like you, remember you said in sixth grade, you got Vision of Love. From there to the Emancipation.

Speaker 1 I don't know anything after emancipation to meet me, but that was, I was grown as hell when that came out. So from there to there, I had every album.
I used to love that Dream Lover video.

Speaker 1 And if you stopped the career, she's 55, not 57.

Speaker 1 It's a classic career.

Speaker 1 It's a classic career for real.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I mean, as a kid, I had a crush on Mariah. I mean, legend, not classic, but like legacy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she's on top of the top.

Speaker 1 She's that, I mean, for me, it would be her, Janet Jackson. There's a few people that would get me upset.
If Paula does. Janet Jackson, I get.
Yeah. But you don't get Mariah?

Speaker 1 They're in the same class. I mean, y'all are helping me to understand.

Speaker 1 They are not in the same class.

Speaker 1 Mariah says she didn't like that. Wait a second.
Mariah says she's not. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Stop talking about that. Yeah, you might be right.
They might not be in the same class.

Speaker 1 They're not in the same class. Respect her to Janet.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Gotcha.
Wait. Well, wait.

Speaker 1 No, he's saying Janet's higher. You're saying Mariah is higher.
I know what he's saying. I know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 I'm saying they're both at the top of the food shit. Janet is high.
Stop it. Stop it.
I don't know what y'all talking about. Janet is, come on, stop it.
Where?

Speaker 1 But wait, is it

Speaker 1 a good idea?

Speaker 2 Is Janet considered higher by your standards because of the family that she's attached to?

Speaker 1 Janet is maybe Janet is considered higher by.

Speaker 1 I don't want to speak for all black people, but black people. Yeah.
Like, I'm not measuring music careers. Oh, okay.
Like, you can have a great point there. Gotcha, gotcha, famous.

Speaker 1 Janet Jackson was in good times. Yeah, for sure.
So I'm saying Janet Jackson is like

Speaker 1 an imprint, an imprint from, she was in different strokes of what she was. I was talking strictly music.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about the family she comes from and how young she was when we first saw her. And I loved them both, by the way.
Had a crush on both of them. Mariah popped up in fucking 91.
I did it.

Speaker 1 I didn't say that. Which is a long time ago.
34 years ago, yeah. But that's very different from 78.
Understand what I mean. When I say, I'm saying the same thing.

Speaker 1 It's like in the NBA, right? Janet? No, Mariah.

Speaker 1 But Karen. In the NBA, some people are max contract people, right? LeBron's a max guy.
AD is a max guy. They're not the same, but they're both in that same top tier.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 I'm saying that when I talk about Mariah and I talk about Janet, there's a top tier people who I will be fucked up if they die. That don't mean they're all the same, but in that same tier,

Speaker 1 that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 But not only that, you don't know what kind of impact that person's legacy and music had on you. Like, it may not have the same impact on you that it would have on Mark.

Speaker 2 That's where the conversation was.

Speaker 1 And this is where Joe is full of shit.

Speaker 1 Last episode of Patriots said he was in his mirror with a hairbrush singing vision of love and someday

Speaker 1 in sixth grade.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the shit that should have you cry.

Speaker 2 But then we also morphed.

Speaker 1 Love someday for me. Which one was it? I said love takes time.
Love takes time. Oh, yeah, if you sing that, yeah.

Speaker 2 But then the conversation morphed into who

Speaker 1 had an effect on Connor and

Speaker 1 shout out to all the queer youth out there. Go ahead.
Go ahead, Mel.

Speaker 2 No, then the conversation.

Speaker 2 Then the conversation morphed into whose death would or has had an effect on you that may not have had the same effect on other people.

Speaker 1 Like for me, it was people that we thought couldn't die.

Speaker 2 For me, you, I'll give you,

Speaker 2 I'll give you two of mine. Anthony Bourdain and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
When I saw that they passed away, I felt like

Speaker 1 really? I'm with you, but Anthony Bourdain. I mean,

Speaker 1 I just, I didn't see it. I mean,

Speaker 1 I knew Anthony Bourdain. We worked together.

Speaker 1 We shared death space sometimes. I didn't cry.

Speaker 2 Flex if you want to. No, no, I'm not flexing.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying, like,

Speaker 1 I get it. It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 That's why I'm talking about impact. It may not have had the same impact on you that him and his career had on me.
You know what I mean? That's fair.

Speaker 2 To me, he's like upper echelon of like storytelling and just presence and intellect and all the things. Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of my like top three actors of all time.

Speaker 2 So I was very sad that I was black.

Speaker 1 Is he black? They're not at all.

Speaker 1 This guy, man. You're just naming white people in a show.

Speaker 1 Why is he so wasteful?

Speaker 1 They're trying to record me greeting on my phone. Okay, let me ask you.
Okay, okay, all right. Wait.

Speaker 1 How many of us, How many of us were devastated? Who the fuck, Melon's talking about?

Speaker 2 How many of us were devastated when we heard Robin Williams died?

Speaker 1 Okay, thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 1 I wasn't devastated.

Speaker 1 I was sad, though.

Speaker 2 Okay, maybe I'm putting someone. That's something

Speaker 1 that was sad to me because of how he crazy. But like I was

Speaker 1 too. Wait a second.
It's the tragedy. Yes.
Both of them learned. Yes, I was sad when Robin Williams died.
I was sad as he was. Okay, well, in some ways.

Speaker 1 Yes, I was devastated to learn that Robin Williams was home with his entire family, went up to a side room, tied some fucking knot in the fashion that he did, and did this with his kids and wife in the house.

Speaker 1 That's devastating.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 Anthony Bourdain, more of the same. Did Phillips Seymour drumming?

Speaker 1 Phillips Seymour motherfucking Hoffman.

Speaker 1 He passed away. He passed away.
Don't do that. These self-transitions.

Speaker 1 I'm asking.

Speaker 2 He died of a drug overdose because he had the same issues that Robin Williams had and the same issues that Anthony Bourdain had.

Speaker 2 Accidentally. It's all tragic.

Speaker 1 That's the point is it's all tragic.

Speaker 2 These are people that you.

Speaker 1 Did you cry? Yeah, shed a tear.

Speaker 2 It bothered me. It was really like.

Speaker 1 Were you in the bed? Like, oh, I can't believe that.

Speaker 2 No, I could move. I could

Speaker 1 have moved on with my fucking life. Last time I saw him was Mission Impossible.

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 he bought it.

Speaker 1 He bought that shit, though.

Speaker 1 He bought that shit.

Speaker 2 He's a beast. Okay, yo, you guys know how I feel about actors.
Y'all know how I feel about actors.

Speaker 1 White actors.

Speaker 2 Shut the fuck up. White power.

Speaker 1 You know.

Speaker 1 You guys keep that shit up, okay? I got a trouble. No, but you know you fucking.
Boy, name some more people. Like, how many more names before we?

Speaker 1 Dengel passed away. I'll be someone.
Same a couple more people.

Speaker 2 Same.

Speaker 2 And when Princeton Michael Jackson passed away, I was like, I was, I had a very inconsolable day.

Speaker 1 It was hard. I was sad about Mike.
Prince.

Speaker 1 Who left me? Really?

Speaker 1 Who would fuck you up?

Speaker 1 Larry Davidson. Like, the way I had that Mariah moment.
You said Larry Davidson.

Speaker 1 Ho.

Speaker 1 I got a list.

Speaker 1 Ho would be. Hole would fuck the fuck up.
I'll fuck you up for long lists. There's a lot of people who are listening.

Speaker 1 But sometimes it's inside the circumstances. Joe will fuck me up.
Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 I'll be like, yo,

Speaker 1 you back. You back, yo, Ian, can I take the spot?

Speaker 1 Five days, five days a week. We can do this with nigga Joe.
Joe will fuck me up.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't be able to to move.

Speaker 1 What y'all doing with that nigga Cars?

Speaker 1 Did he put my name down?

Speaker 1 Into the wheel.

Speaker 1 Joe.

Speaker 1 Put your name down where?

Speaker 1 In the wheel.

Speaker 2 That's what he's working towards.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 My will must be chunked.

Speaker 1 If that's what he's been working towards.

Speaker 1 I feel like it's my job to make this be less morbid. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been looking forward to it. We need to.
Although I don't know if you're the best guy for the job, to be honest with you. So

Speaker 1 something does need our attention. All right, let's get it.
We got this.

Speaker 1 And this is very important. Sure.
Urgent, if you will. Okay.
Prize picks can wait a second.

Speaker 1 This is more important. Always.
Oh, man.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Let's do it.

Speaker 1 Play that again. Oozing the sheets.

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't switch no lyrics on me now. In the street.
That's not what he says.

Speaker 1 Isn't that Usher? That is Usher. I don't care who that is.
He forgot his words. I don't give a fuck who that is.
I thought it was. It's cruising the streets.
It's cruising the street.

Speaker 1 I'm in my drop time. It better be cruising the street.

Speaker 2 I get it, but maybe we did have it wrong.

Speaker 1 No, we didn't. No, you're not going to be Dela effect me.

Speaker 1 No, he's trying to save us. Safe thing with T-Pain shit.
He's trying to T-Pain us. Same thing with T-Pain.
So T-Pain got it off, so he said, let me switch mine up to the bottom.

Speaker 1 Wait, what was T-Pains again?

Speaker 1 All I do is win. No, not that one.
It was that one, too? So, wait, what was it? What did he say it was?

Speaker 1 Everybody's hands go up, and they stay there, and they say yeah.

Speaker 1 And it was, he, we were just saying that they stay there. He's like, no, I say something else.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, I really do like the Lakers

Speaker 1 in the conference final.

Speaker 1 Against Golden State?

Speaker 1 I don't know if Golden State gets there. I like the Lakers to get there.

Speaker 1 And I think I saw Steve and A say that the wildest finals matchup would be the Lakers versus Cleveland with LeBrons trying to stop Cleveland from getting a championship.

Speaker 1 That would be amazing. That's so

Speaker 1 interesting. That's great TV right there.
That'd be amazing. That'd be super interesting.

Speaker 1 Give me Austin Reeves for more than 18 points. And yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 1 All right, what else we got to break down? That's important. All of that music shit sounds boring to me.
I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1 It does.

Speaker 1 I don't care about none of it. Let me see.
What do I have here that could be interesting?

Speaker 1 Could be interesting.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 everything is on camera news nowadays.

Speaker 1 Mel sent something funny, but before Mel sent something funny, somebody else sent it to me. So I had already synced it.

Speaker 1 But then I seen something else, and I think it was this girl from Portland got in a fight. Wherever she was from, this girl got in a fight, and she got the brakes beat off her.

Speaker 1 Poo, poop, pew, poop, poo, poo, poo, poop, poo. Was fucking this girl up.
But in the process, she dropped her key fob.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So the girl she beat up took the key fob.

Speaker 1 And apparently they know each other and went to her house and ransacked it in the whole crib and taped it. Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 She fucked that house up. Broke the TV.
The loser of the fight. Everything.
The loser of the fighter.

Speaker 1 That's so hard. Which made me want to ask y'all, which one you would rather be in that equation?

Speaker 1 The girl that got beat up.

Speaker 1 I'd rather be the person beating up.

Speaker 2 Getting beat up? No. Or the one, the aggressor?

Speaker 1 The aggressor, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 I'll get beat up before you ruin my whole house. Yeah, yeah.
Well, I've been the other person already that had walked in the house and and said,

Speaker 1 wait. So, yeah, I'll take the other side.
You're saying it wrong. You're saying it's a song.
You're still ass over there so bad. Yeah, I'm going to take the other side.
You said you'll be the who?

Speaker 1 I said, I'll get beat up before I allow my entire house to be ransacked. The person that got beat up was the one that destroyed the house.
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 She got beat up, picked up the key fob, and said, okay. I know.
Rather than have your house destroyed, he would rather get beat up. The choice is between getting your ass beat and getting your house.

Speaker 2 No, I thought he was talking about

Speaker 2 the outcome of the entire situation.

Speaker 1 Not the same situation.

Speaker 2 No, because it's the one one that...

Speaker 1 The girl that got beat up is the one who ransacked the house. Not the one that beat up.
Yeah. I know that.

Speaker 1 So would you rather be the, would you rather get beat up and have a chance to go destroy somebody's house or would you rather beat somebody up and have a chance to beat somebody else and have your house destroyed?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm confused while this is confusing.

Speaker 1 No, it's not. You know he said that.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Thank you, man. Alice, it's Alice and Betty.
No, no, don't. Alice beat Betty's ass.
No hype. Betty even went to Alice's house and tore it down.
Do you want to be Alice or do you want to be Betty?

Speaker 1 He said, I'd rather... Nigga, stop fucking being on this side.

Speaker 1 I'm not on his side. He said, I'd rather get beat up than have my house destroyed.
And that's the thing.

Speaker 1 Exactly. The person that got beat up destroyed the house.
So how would you rather get beat up than destroying the house? Okay, wait, y'all. Wait, because y'all saying...

Speaker 1 But if you're talking about the scenario, I'm not done. If you're talking about the scenario that's been a huge story,

Speaker 1 we're sounding like too off now.

Speaker 1 Like, it ain't that deep. This is like the little meme I seen.
Somebody was in Jersey City. These guys are bad.
And they was pointing the camera at people.

Speaker 1 And it was like, yo, James' grandson is my son. Who is James to me?

Speaker 1 That shit fucked up.

Speaker 1 He was so confused. So I feel like this is one of those moments.

Speaker 1 I'm saying, you're right, and Mark is right. I'm saying I would rather get beat up

Speaker 1 than

Speaker 1 have my house ransacked. The winner of the fight.
got her house ransacked. Yes.
The loser of the fight ransacked the house. Right.
So your choice is is the same thing.

Speaker 1 I'm picking to lose the fight and go ransack versus

Speaker 1 having my house be ransacked. He didn't switch it.
He didn't switch it. He said the same thing.
He just said, which person in the city?

Speaker 1 Okay. It's okay.
It's cool. Okay.
Anyway, I have a lot of people.

Speaker 1 All right. It's seven fucking apples.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Yo, that nigga's

Speaker 1 that troller for real. But wait, I don't know.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. There are seven people in this room.
We all understand it. Everybody, then we're on the right side.

Speaker 1 I have a question. That's not true.
You're picking. You're being whooped up too.

Speaker 1 Seven people did not agree. Three additional.
Raise your hand if you agree that what he said makes sense, whether you agree with him or not. It makes sense now.

Speaker 2 It makes sense now.

Speaker 1 It always made sense. Yes.

Speaker 1 The entire time it made sense. Okay.
Nah, I know. Go back.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's fine.

Speaker 1 Nah, nah, nah, I'm getting up. I'm moving.
I have one. I'm not going to allow him or you to do that on camera.
It's going to change the energy in this room. Y'all both be playing around.

Speaker 1 And I'm going to get up and take a break, sit down over there, and I'm going to come back when I call because I don't want to mess up the show.

Speaker 1 Because in my mind, I'm going to put it in my brain that y'all played with me, and I'm going to look for the opportunity to play with both of y'all. So, what I'm going to do,

Speaker 1 I'm going to take a step over there as an adult, sit to myself and count to 10.

Speaker 2 Do a body. This is definitely an adult move.

Speaker 1 I just want to point out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he took my

Speaker 1 adult thing to do when we can't agree on. That's a hypothetical.

Speaker 1 Go take some time. Go take some time out.

Speaker 1 Go two steps.

Speaker 1 Go sit alone to yourself.

Speaker 1 Do the math. And look, Mel was down with you.
She left you hanging, too.

Speaker 2 No, I was like, do a box breath. You'll be fine.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 2 A box breath.

Speaker 1 Like Navy Seals. On to part two of Way Too Much is Caught on Camera.
In for four, out for four. In Newark, New Jersey,

Speaker 1 the pimp parked his car outside the Catholic Church.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And walked in and punched the pastor. And the the shit that I saw, it was just a headline that said, yo, Pimp punches the pastor over some unpaid debt.
So I was like, bet, I was satisfied.

Speaker 1 I skipped that one. I was satisfied with that.

Speaker 1 So then a video started playing. And I said,

Speaker 1 no, they did not record the nigga. Well, they record church.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I was saying in my head, they better not show that to me. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 And sure enough. Money walked up there smooth, too.

Speaker 1 Money touching the suit and a white suit. Somebody touching the ground.
White suit in an Easter outfit.

Speaker 1 He was there 30 minutes before.

Speaker 1 He was waiting.

Speaker 1 And what was funnier is there was a cop behind him the whole time. There was.
Trying to go get to him. Trying to get to him to stop.

Speaker 1 He boop-bopped that guy. The guy ran to the side.
I'm like, all right. Y'all don't think we have access to too much now.

Speaker 1 We should not be seeing these things. Yes.
No, we shouldn't.

Speaker 1 We shouldn't be seeing these things. We shouldn't be hearing everybody's thoughts either.
Facts.

Speaker 1 or reading them. He pushed it fast.
Yo, he's the pimp got up.

Speaker 1 He walked slow, too. He didn't rush.
He walked the style. The dude knew what it was.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He knew what it was.

Speaker 1 He knew

Speaker 1 shit. Yo, y'all niggas are fucked up shit in Newark, nigga.

Speaker 1 Listen, y'all get decks.

Speaker 1 Are y'all for street justice or not? Yes, I'm for street justice. No, I'm not.
All right, Ice is not. I am.
Most of the time. Parks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm cool. I was watching the video.

Speaker 1 Parks is Flip is a little bit.

Speaker 1 No, nigga, he's

Speaker 1 all the way. Mark is.
Most of the time. Most times.

Speaker 2 Male. In the right circumstances, yep.

Speaker 1 Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Look at Flip. Why are you so stupid? You know what I'm saying? You could have just let her answer and that be the end.
Why you gotta be on this? I love her. I love her.
She knows.

Speaker 1 What's she gonna say? No, no, no, no. You ain't gonna trick me.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I ain't having an HR meeting. Nope.

Speaker 1 Nope. Because when they arrested the pastor dude, I was like...
The pimp dude. I mean, the pimp dude.
I was like,

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's right.

Speaker 1 Because homeboy should have paid Jordy. True.

Speaker 1 Steps of services. He should have paid Jordy.
And we know that

Speaker 1 that old ass dude went and took his ass over there by the junction and bought some pussy.

Speaker 1 And then went to the fucking Pierre. And then went to the pedestal to fucking talk some good God shit.
You know he went

You could buy that. And Matt says.
It depends on.

Speaker 1 Well, anywhere.

Speaker 1 No, just anywhere.

He knew where to do it at.

Speaker 1 I know you couldn't do that at a Christian love. No, you couldn't do that there.
What's Christian Love? I don't know. That was a church.
It's in God's time, rest in peace. That was his church.

Speaker 1 You're not walking up there like that. We're talking about mega churches.
I ain't gonna lie. This is wrong.

Yo, man. He's suiting it.
Nobody called a domain. He's saying, yo, I know where it's at, my nigga.

Come as you are. Yeah, come as you are.
But not the black church.

Speaker 1 Maya Angelou here at the lights and shit for real, bro. Yeah, we so lost this people.
Niggas named the whole list of fucking famous people that they would be destroyed if they left.

Speaker 1 It wasn't a sign of Maya Angelou.

Speaker 1 How long, though? Like a month? Nah, nah.

Speaker 1 I already know them by a day, a day or two

Speaker 1 i don't have no personal relationship with you like kobe i knew so i was upset i'm still upset but like michael jackson it was like more like that day and then i anchored the funeral and i cried like during the funeral when stevie started singing stevie sang uh i never dreamed you leave it in in the summer and we was all up because it was like can you pull that mic close to you oh i'm sorry the uh yeah you ain't but five four

Speaker 1 close to the damn mic

Speaker 1 um yeah something like that like just because a lot of times it'd be the tragedy of it don't be that the person meant that much to you 90 you know i mean it'd be like that this thing with Kobe, even if you didn't love basketball and you didn't know him, it's still like something about somebody at that age dying.

Speaker 1 It like messes your head up. Same thing with Michael Jackson for me.
Same thing with him. Michael, I was like,

Speaker 1 I was sad.

Speaker 1 Michael went too early for me. Yeah.
I was sad this one.

Speaker 1 We can move on, but I'm dying to know who would have been on y'all list ages ago before

Speaker 1 celebrity

Speaker 1 and fame and groupyism took over.

Speaker 1 Like anybody that was like a world changer.

Speaker 1 Nelson Mandeland.

Speaker 1 Nelson Mandela. Tesla.
You told niggas off the road. Tesla.

Speaker 1 When Mike died.

Speaker 1 When Mike died, you said

Speaker 1 whoever made bread.

Speaker 1 Uncle Ben, right?

Speaker 1 Rice.

Speaker 1 Famous Amos?

Speaker 2 Nelson Mandela is good.

Speaker 1 Nelson Mandela. That was a good one.
I didn't cry, though. Damn, I didn't cry for that one.
I should mention it. I was at a funeral, too.
I didn't cry, but I was sad. You went to a lot of funerals.

Speaker 1 Damn, I was at a funeral.

Speaker 1 Now I feel like an asshole. Yeah, I probably should have.
Mark you trying to get booked at niggas' funerals

Speaker 1 to speak. I was for no,

Speaker 1 trying. What do you mean, trying? Right.

Speaker 1 You know, as a journalist, you got to go. I go to a lot of funerals to cover him, and then I end up just going and staying.
So, like,

Speaker 1 I went to South Africa for his.

Speaker 1 It was amazing. You know, it was so amazing.
You almost didn't have time to be sad because it was so much partying and so much traveling and all of that stuff.

Speaker 1 He laid in state, so you went to like 12 cities to follow him be dead. But anyway, yo.

Speaker 1 Thank God for technology. The obituary was such a horrible way to learn that somebody died.
Or to open the papers. God damn.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, in the Caribbean, they put that shit on the TV at night.

Speaker 2 This person died. Daily obituaries.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On the television.
Oh, no. I think I'd rather the paper shit.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Watch my show, and then I'm fucked up. Can we talk about the fucked up obituaries, though? Like, like later on, niggas, some of the obituaries be fucked up and nasty, nigga, and I don't like it.

Speaker 1 They be leaving it to their kids. They want to go the cheap route.
This shit be the bullshit paper.

Speaker 1 The shit with the card.

Speaker 1 The ink falling off. I don't like that shit, yo.

Speaker 1 That's the problem with that. You talk to talk about families getting nasty with the obituaries, too.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Leaving people out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all that shit.

Speaker 1 We was beefing with her. We don't like her.
Her name ain't going in here. It's not time for you to get your personal grievance out when somebody passes away.

Speaker 1 You know, you're supposed to follow how they feel, but you can't do that. Niggas be disrespectful and spend some money.
I had no, it was, I was not in my family. My sister died.

Speaker 1 I think I was in one picture. No, I was in no pictures.
That's fucked up.

Speaker 1 They had every

Speaker 1 cousins, aunties, fucking babies.

Speaker 2 Who was responsible for putting together the montage? Her daughter.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 What was her daughter? He was rich and he wasn't around, nigga.

Speaker 1 I never think that a sibling should do it.

Speaker 1 I agree. But who do you get to do it, though?

Speaker 1 One of the old heads of the family. Yeah, that's who she does.
An older person? One of the old. Even if it's not in age, one of the older heads in the family

Speaker 1 that is more responsible, is going to get all the pictures that talk to everybody.

Speaker 1 That's going to do it right. Yeah.
That's going to say,

Speaker 1 hey, Mark ain't in enough pictures here. This person's going to do it right.

Speaker 1 That'd be fucked up. You'd be at the viewer.
I was sitting there waiting for your dick to come up.

Speaker 1 Well, they start reading names. You just sitting there.
That's how it was.

Speaker 1 Mark's sitting there like that.

Speaker 1 Mark was

Speaker 1 He was in the front too.

Speaker 1 Mark was like this. In the front, man.
Hands folded.

Speaker 1 Oh, they probably did. They ain't freeway out there.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 That'd have been even worse. Like, yo, I was there for the moment.

Speaker 1 You sitting there.

Speaker 1 You could tell they getting to the end of the montage.

Speaker 1 They start getting to the old shit. He just died pictures, like the recent pictures.
You're like, I know I'm in some more pictures. I wasn't in none.
Damn. I wasn't even in the book.
Yo,

Speaker 1 they show you a motherfucker whole life

Speaker 1 at all. You've been sitting there looking at it when they was one.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. So speaking of this, this is part of my Bill Burr review.
Okay. Bill Burr said something I thought was really interesting, which was,

Speaker 1 why are we still having open caskets? Oh, I was with him on that 100%.

Speaker 1 And he, yeah, while he was joking, the more he talked about it, I'm like, yo, that's totally correct.

Speaker 1 Why are we still having open caskets where we're forcing people to go look at some dead motherfucker lying there who may be made upright or not be made upright?

Speaker 1 And I take your word. If you say that this person is dead, then they died.
Like, I don't need to see the proof right at the top of the fucking service. You got to answer the text.
So

Speaker 1 I believe you. Yeah, open caskets just seem a little.

Speaker 2 I feel like you might know the history of why there's, why we have open casks that's caskets.

Speaker 1 Vacuum the fun.

Speaker 1 I really have a vacuum cut.

Speaker 1 It's a great way to add there. There we go.

Speaker 1 Well, that's the room book.

Speaker 1 Vacuum up the fun. Mark, what is the history of this?

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm just saying, like, in order to, like, okay, fine, fine, fine.

Speaker 1 I'll back away. Fine.
I'll back away. This would be interesting.
That's that Philip Dryson Moore shit.

Speaker 1 What do y'all think about this?

Speaker 2 I've always thought that open caskets were really fucking creepy.

Speaker 1 Yeah. This is a really morbid episode.
It really is. It is.
Fuck it.

Speaker 1 I just think it's creepy for kids. It's creepy for everybody.
It's creepy.

Speaker 2 It's creepy for everybody.

Speaker 1 It's some funerals I've been to, it allowed you to, it's like that last bit of closure. Wanting to say goodbye, I understand.

Speaker 1 If the kid is old enough for their head to be peeking up, then

Speaker 1 that's bad, but

Speaker 1 you don't want to see that. But if they're small enough to wear, you don't even really.
You don't know what's going on up in there?

Speaker 1 They should be done up. They be having LEDs.

Speaker 1 The kids, they be having glasses.

Speaker 1 They be propped up.

Speaker 1 All right, man.

Speaker 1 Your Bill Percy,

Speaker 1 they be in there all propped up.

Speaker 1 All right, go ahead.

Speaker 1 Go ahead. Listen, take it away.
No, I'm listening to you. I'm listening to you.
I'm with you. I don't like seeing that shit.
I should just wag. I like seeing it before it's whack.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, the wait. So, like,

Speaker 1 when my dad died, the night before you go, you look at him, you know, say your goodbyes or whatever. The next day, I don't feel the need to see him.
But see, the problem now is because

Speaker 1 everybody ain't got it. So, you're doing it all in one shot.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ain't no more. The wake used to be the night before.
Right. And then the funeral was the next day.
Right. I just went to one.
Shit started at 1 p.m. I'm like, wait, it's starting at 1?

Speaker 1 And that was the wake.

Speaker 1 Oh, hell no.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you just don't get to see them. To me, you just don't get to see him.
I mean, something like the kiss the body, goodbye, and all that stuff. Yeah, some, yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 What really pissed me off, though, is when they start taking pictures.

Speaker 1 Well, that's some new shit. I know it's new shit.

Speaker 1 I don't care what that really pissed me off when I start seeing pictures in the funeral. Somebody walking up to the casket.

Speaker 1 Yo, fam, fam. Yeah, that's weird.

Speaker 1 Hey, yo, real quick, real quick, since we're talking about that, I just got my wife just got a call that her aunt in Canada wants to, she's passing away, but she wants to,

Speaker 1 she wants help with a company called MAID, I think.

Speaker 2 Medical assistance in dying. Yeah, yo.

Speaker 1 And she asked me how I felt about that. But I'm like, nigga, I don't.
It's like legal euthanasia? Yeah. I don't know.
I guess that.

Speaker 1 That's the company that come kill you faster.

Speaker 1 Well, no.

Speaker 1 I think it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 1 I know it's all for you. Mommy, male.

Speaker 2 It's only for terminal patients.

Speaker 1 But I thought about you, but I thought that was self-defense.

Speaker 2 It's not selfish

Speaker 2 if you have like two to three weeks left and the quality of your life is so, you know, is just, it is non-existent, then

Speaker 1 how many times we have people have two to two to three weeks left and they live for years?

Speaker 1 That is a fact. You know what I'm saying, male? So I'm just never really.

Speaker 2 I'm going to back out of this conversation.

Speaker 1 I apologize.

Speaker 1 I think y'all have to. It's called May, though.

Speaker 1 You know about it, right, male?

Speaker 1 If you're in misery, I think people, I think people are right to die with dignity, and I think people should

Speaker 1 make their own choice. We got to get a call like, yo, I'm about to have somebody help

Speaker 1 me transition on to the afterlife.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, there, you should respect that person's wishes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let that person. She did respect, but I just didn't at the time.
I'm sorry. I think sometimes the opposite is selfish, actually.

Speaker 2 Keeping them alive when they want to go.

Speaker 1 Flip, you said you believe that person doing that is being selfish. Yeah, because it's selfish.
It's their life. It's their life.

Speaker 1 They're the one in pain. So

Speaker 1 they're the ones that want to leave. So I think it's really, it'd be us who still.
And I want to go see you.

Speaker 1 I want to go hang out with you.

Speaker 1 That's the selfish part.

Speaker 1 I'm selfish. Stay in excruciating pain so that I can get that.

Speaker 1 Because I don't want to grieve you. Well, no, no, no.
Stay here. I'm behind you.
No, no, no. I don't don't want them to stay in pain.

Speaker 1 But obviously, if you could hold on a little bit longer, so the family could come around and gather around. We would love that.
That's it. That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, it's hard.

Speaker 1 I don't want to be selfish and make a mockery out of it because obviously it's important to the family and to my wife. So why can't you just go now?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He got to do it. He got things to do.

Speaker 2 He got another room. He's got to do it.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Man, that's not nice.

Speaker 1 I'm not. Let's not do that.

Speaker 1 Another room to do now when my fucking aunt-in-law is passing away.

Speaker 2 Go now. Then go.

Speaker 1 Go now.

Speaker 2 Truthfully, you go now. He's like, get up and go now.

Speaker 1 He's like, I get paid for an episode.

Speaker 1 I'm not leaving you to win. This is so important to you.

Speaker 2 Drop everything and go now.

Speaker 1 Thank you, man. I got you.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Well, I

Speaker 1 made too much last month.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, Nana.

Speaker 1 I'm going to put you on my breast. That's not funny, Joe.

Speaker 1 What's falling? I need it right now. I'm going to do this for you.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't even want me to miss all this money.

Speaker 1 Come on, come on. If you knew.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 if

Speaker 1 only

Speaker 1 Nana knew.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you got to do it in the name of Nancy, yo. Fuck that.

Speaker 1 Got to send some flowers to the funeral. What's wrong with you, yo? Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 You sick, yo. Yo.

Speaker 1 What was that movie at Think Like a Man? What was the name of that movie where their own boy died, and at the end, they all went to the beach and sent the balloons up in there?

Speaker 1 Why that was it? Why'd I get married? Whatever movie that was, why they was acting like that was really they dead homie getting the balloon going to the

Speaker 1 tribute.

Speaker 1 It's symbolic and it's meaningful.

Speaker 1 The only thing I would say on a serious note.

Speaker 1 On a serious note, though, as you think about, and I'm only saying it because we talked about this, like sometimes people, elderly people get depressed and they don't know what they want, or they think they want one thing and they want something else.

Speaker 1 Terminal patience is one thing, and I think people have a right to die with dignity. But I know, like, with my father,

Speaker 1 they told us he was dying. They said he got a couple weeks, you know,

Speaker 1 just stop feeding him. Like, you know,

Speaker 1 wait, yeah, they said, like, the feet, because he didn't, basically, he didn't want to eat anymore. And so they said, you can put it through a feeding tube or not.

Speaker 1 Right. And so I said, and so I said, Dad, I had my other brothers bounced.
They were left. They didn't want to do it.
They had me do do it. I'm the youngest.
And I said, hey, do you want to.

Speaker 1 There you go. Throwing Fraser.

Speaker 1 Yo, you ain't shit.

Speaker 1 I love the funeral story. I get it.

Speaker 1 Market bounced. The other brothers bounced.
It was just me. Yo, Fresh.
Youngest one. You got this.

Speaker 1 So I went and I was like, yo, you know, do you want us to keep doing a feeding tube or not? And he was like,

Speaker 1 I think I'm okay if I don't have the feeding tube. And I said, I said, I won't be upset with you.
I won't be hurt if you're ready to go. If you don't want the feeding tube, it's okay.

Speaker 1 He said, let him go.

Speaker 1 By the two days later, as we were starting to do that, the doctor said, let's give him one more thing for his appetite. It's an appetite inducer, but it's also an antidepressant.

Speaker 1 He took it, and it turned out after he took the appetite inducer, not only did he want to eat, but he felt better and didn't want to die anymore.

Speaker 1 I came back two weeks later because I traveled to San Antonio. I was waiting for him.
I was on standby. You're going too hard for part of the month now.
What?

Speaker 1 You're killing this shit.

Speaker 1 I came back two weeks later. We had moved into a transitional home because my mom didn't want to die at home.
And he was fucking up two plates of food. He was killing it.

Speaker 1 And he had gained like 10, 15 pounds. He looked like himself again.
And it was the fact that the appetite inducer was actually also anti-depressed.

Speaker 1 And I found out that a lot of elderly people are depressed and will be like, fuck it, like, let me go because of the mood they're in.

Speaker 1 That's not negating what you're saying, which is, which is when you're terminally ill and you're in pain, that's different. My dad was just depressed.

Speaker 1 And knowing the difference between those two things is important.

Speaker 2 That's all. And also, made is a very, it's not, it's a lengthy process.
Yes. You have to get asked a lot of questions.

Speaker 2 They really do like a cognitive and psychological testing to make sure that you are of sound mind making this decision. They ask you in front of people.
They ask you alone.

Speaker 2 Are you being coerced into this decision? Whoever's the executor of your will cannot be a witness because that's a conflict of interest. It's a lengthy process.

Speaker 1 I'm telling y'all now in front of everybody. Don't do that shit for me.
Keep me alive no matter what.

Speaker 2 No DNR.

Speaker 1 Nigga, hook me to the car charger. I don't give a fuck what you got to do to figure out how to keep me alive.
I don't care if I'm in pain.

Speaker 1 They'll figure something out. They find something new.
It's not for me, but I respect everybody everybody else's wishes. Yeah, I'm the opposite.
You are.

Speaker 1 Once I get to a point where I can't do anything for myself, and

Speaker 1 y'all can let me go. I don't want to be a burden on nobody.
I feel that. Let me go.
I want to be a burden. These things have been a burden on me a long time.

Speaker 1 You got it. Okay.
Send me the Fraser. Pull out that hat in the back with all of our happy topics now.

Speaker 1 Oh, two hours in. Who wants to get happy?

Speaker 1 Anybody?

Speaker 1 Happy, man. Or do we have any more stories? We're still happy.
About when our parents

Speaker 1 died or like somebody we love.

Speaker 1 What did you guys think?

Speaker 1 Stop. Made some.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Would you do it? Would you want to live? Come on. What we got happy? All right.

Speaker 1 Drinking UMG.

Speaker 1 That makes us happy. Let's do it, Ice.

Speaker 1 Put the shit on me.

Speaker 1 UMG clapped back. They sued him.
And they're trying to get

Speaker 1 out of the lawsuit. I mean, the verbiage in the lawsuit was crazy.

Speaker 1 Talk about it, Ice. I got it.
Oh, you have it up? Okay, so Big Mail.

Speaker 2 Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time,

Speaker 2 lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated. UMG argued in a motion to dismiss.
Instead of accepting the loss, like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be,

Speaker 2 he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds.

Speaker 1 Who wrote this?

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 2 she's like, the label said, Not like us cannot form the bias of a defamation claim because Lamar's lyrics are protected as non-actionable opinion and

Speaker 2 rhetoric hyperbole. This is especially true in the context of a rap battle, UMG added, where diss tracks are often built around outrageous insults.

Speaker 2 UMG noted that this type of hyperbole was present in the nine diss tracks Drake and Lamar collectively released during their 2024 rap battle, and that Drake encouraged the feud by taunting Lamar to respond to his songs and lodge damning insults of his own, including accusing Lamar of domestic abuse on the track Family Matters.

Speaker 2 So that's

Speaker 2 that's pretty admitted.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just don't I don't understand

Speaker 1 Drake's suit.

Speaker 1 I never understood it

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 it was a battle. Nah, not even just that.
You're suing them for

Speaker 1 doing the same thing they did for you. Right.
That's who. That's the part that you benefited from this for years.
And now it's, oh, wait, if it's true, which, you know, y'all promoting the song. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't like that song, though. It's about me.
It makes me look bad.

Speaker 1 I'm going to sue you. It's all been bad.

Speaker 1 That's the part I just don't get. And I hear a lot of people saying, oh, you're taking the side of the machine.
I'm not taking the side of nothing in this.

Speaker 1 I just don't understand.

Speaker 1 It's like it's cool as long as it works for me. I'm taking the the side of rap battles.
Yeah. It was a rap battle.
Yeah. And it didn't go your way.
And that sucks. That's it.

Speaker 1 I was still listening to Drake music. I still do listen to Drake music.

Speaker 1 I think a lot of people are in the same boat.

Speaker 1 The suit is stupid. I think it was all for the Super Bowl, but clearly it's still happening.
So I don't know. Following through?

Speaker 1 I don't know. What y'all think?

Speaker 1 I think Party Next Door better be in the studio coming up with the fastest Nokia remix he can.

Speaker 1 That's what I think.

Speaker 1 You fucking

Speaker 1 crazy as hell, nigga. We're going to do an album together, and your little song without me gonna go.

Speaker 1 You got me fucked up, nigga.

Speaker 1 He always gets the bad end to the street. I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 1 I'm listening to what they play on the radio. They play Nokia and Give Me a Hug.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But Give Me a Hug has Drake on it.

Speaker 1 No, no, that's what what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they don't have

Speaker 1 party.

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 1 Never mind. Baby girl.

Speaker 1 I know key is hard, though. It is.

Speaker 1 Nigga, if I'm partying next door, I'm not leaving the studio until I think of a new one of that

Speaker 1 for him to improve. For him,

Speaker 1 are you crazy? But damn, that is kind of fire.

Speaker 1 I'm going to use that one, though. Let me get that new album coming.
I'd be tight. I know niggas are not supposed to say that because it's still your album.

Speaker 1 No, I would be tight. 100%.
I'd be tight. I don't give a fuck.
I would say it. I'm absolutely, I would be tight.
I'm over the lawsuit shit. I'm over the lawsuit shit, above my pay grade.

Speaker 1 I don't know who's doing what. I don't know why they're doing it.

Speaker 1 It's a last-year thing to me.

Speaker 1 Let it be relevant to the people it's relevant to, which is UMG, Lucian, and fucking Drake, Ovio.

Speaker 1 I don't care. I don't care.
Like, it has no bearing on me. Win or or lose.

Speaker 1 I just want music.

Speaker 1 It's so sad. It's a point.
I don't even want that. No, I want music from niggas.
I don't.

Speaker 1 Y'all have trained me into, okay,

Speaker 1 we're not getting albums from all of the people I love. I told y'all, throughout the whole week, I'd just be thinking of all of the artists that I love that just

Speaker 1 off it now. It's like, if y'all off it, the fuck I'm going to be sitting by the iTunes store for.
Right.

Speaker 1 When they drop, they'll drop. That's what I'm saying.
So it's just like, if y'all, that's all I care about. If they drop a really dope project, then we'll get another one in six years.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, Drake was the exception to that. I'm not really talking about him because he was dropping.
But

Speaker 1 it's scary out there. I ain't going to hold you.
I could go for a Drake album if he's just rapping. I hate the singing shit, but if he actually is just spitting bars, I could go for a Drake album.

Speaker 1 I don't think you ever get that. I think you've never gotten that.
True. And nor will he ever do that because his fan base is just too big for that.
I just want a Drake album. I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 Long as it's, I don't want experimental Drake, like the dance album, or I don't need none of that. Give me Drake that

Speaker 1 I've been a fan of since fucking 08. It's rumored that he is coming.

Speaker 1 Sure. And it's rumored that it ain't going to be long.

Speaker 1 And you don't think this UMG lawsuit is going to hem that up at all?

Speaker 1 It doesn't have to. I don't like it.
Yeah, he'll find a way. Same way he did with the party album.
That's just really pretty much a Drake. Go get with one producer or something and do it.

Speaker 1 We've seen that trick a bunch of times. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The producer album, where it's his album featuring you or y'all together, but now it's over there.

Speaker 1 Got it. Or the label could have no problem with putting out a Drake album.
About to say that we're not going to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 We can have our fight, and we can continue our fight. But if you got one, we have paperwork that says that we're in on that.
Where do you see this going?

Speaker 1 Like if he loses? The lawsuit? Or what I'm saying, the lawsuit in general, right? They're trying to get it dismissed. If it doesn't dismiss it, what does it put out there to the other artists?

Speaker 1 It's going to get dismissed, I think.

Speaker 1 I think it's going to get dismissed. You think it's going to get dismissed? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Same.

Speaker 1 But if it doesn't...

Speaker 2 Is there a countersuit?

Speaker 1 I don't know. As of now, I have kind of clocked out of this

Speaker 1 as well. Got it.
I think UMG's game was to get this dismissed out of hand early, and they didn't dismiss it. It's still moving forward.

Speaker 1 But I still think that it's not going to... I don't know if he'll be successful.

Speaker 1 It doesn't seem like he's going to be successful based on what the legal expert I'm not a legal expert, but that's what they're saying.

Speaker 2 I've heard the same

Speaker 1 Y'all think Luigi's getting off?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I don't remember your answer.

Speaker 2 Well, we talked about jury selection and just juries being committed to finding reasonable doubt.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's why I want to know y'all answer. I don't remember it.
No, I don't think he's getting off at all. I think he's a Patsy and they're going to make sure he don't get off.
Patsy?

Speaker 2 Like he didn't do it.

Speaker 1 When y'all say something.

Speaker 1 No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. When y'all say things like that, right, he didn't do it.
You don't think he did it either?

Speaker 1 Now I was shaking my head at how niggas always think somebody didn't do it. Yeah, when y'all conspiracy, bro.

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 1 I like it. That was just like

Speaker 1 a little bit of a broken.

Speaker 1 When you say he didn't do it, those were his eyebrows.

Speaker 1 What do you think happened then? Like, do you think they just found somebody to make them be the foreguy? How did they convince him to be the foreguy? They might not convince you.

Speaker 2 So he was on his his way to do that actual thing, but somebody beat him to it and knew he was going to do it kind of thing.

Speaker 1 Well, it could have been planned. He could have been coached through it.
Like, it wasn't just his idea.

Speaker 1 You were led to do this. So he might have actually executed, you're saying, but just might not have been

Speaker 1 useful.

Speaker 2 He was a tool. He was a cog in the wheel.
Got it.

Speaker 2 Okay. I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 Because early on, people were saying, oh, that wasn't really him. Like, he wasn't the guy.
Like, it was a mistaken identity. All this crazy scandal shit.
And I'm like, I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 I think he did just what it looked like. He pulled pulled out a gun and shot somebody on the broad daylight.
And then got the city bike and left. Mm-hmm.
And went to McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Palatine fish. That's the part that just got a little.

Speaker 1 Hey, I think he did it too. Got all evidence on him.
Do I believe that? Yeah. Do I believe that he just needed a McChicken when he was, so he might be hungry.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I'm too great of a plan to run to McDonald's and sit there with all the shit. He just makes me question things.

Speaker 1 Like the amount of planning that went into doing that and then the movement afterwards, they just don't. Because you never go eat that.
How do you get food? Shave your eyebrows. Dog.

Speaker 2 No, not them eyebrows. No, you can take them out.

Speaker 1 You would think the person that lays out that plan walks around with the evidence on them? Eyebrows?

Speaker 2 Well, it was a 3D gun. So it's not a traceable weapon.
It has no serial number or anything. So what would be the harm? It's like the gun doesn't really exist.

Speaker 1 I get it. I don't want to hear none of that shit.
If I'm a dude that tried to shoot Trump, that shot his airlobe up, this dude's getting way too many props for me.

Speaker 1 Like, we don't know what this dude looked like still. Right.
Exactly. They killed him, didn't they? No.
So they said,

Speaker 1 I don't know they didn't kill him, I don't think. I don't know.
I think there was footage of them actually arresting him.

Speaker 1 I get confused. I don't remember, to be honest.
I don't remember. The earlobe guy? Mm-hmm.
Let's check.

Speaker 1 I think they took him up.

Speaker 1 Niggas had to, he had the niggas shook. They didn't take

Speaker 1 one man.

Speaker 2 I was supposed to be there for like the war

Speaker 2 of Luigi's trial.

Speaker 1 That's gonna be tough.

Speaker 1 I don't know who you exclude. Would you want to be a juror?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes, I would love to be a juror.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was shot and killed. What's his name?

Speaker 2 Isn't it funny that we don't know the name of the guy who Thomas Matthew Crooks?

Speaker 1 The dude with the glasses on the roof, right? Mm-hmm. See, I don't know about that one.
See?

Speaker 1 Now I'm ice.

Speaker 1 Hey, Pan.

Speaker 1 You're everybody. He did not kill that nigga.
I'm more suspicious of that one. I think he did it too, but I'm more suspicious of that one.

Speaker 1 Dog, if somebody's trying to kill the president, you kill him so that we don't get information as to who you may or may not be working for. Yes.

Speaker 1 You damn right.

Speaker 1 You got snipers on the fire. You damn right we kill him immediately.

Speaker 2 There was snipers everywhere, but yet they didn't see this.

Speaker 1 They saw him initially.

Speaker 1 They saw him. And they did nothing.
Listen, let him. He's white.
Listen, no. They want him to knock off Trump.
Damn. The government,

Speaker 1 they turned a blind eye to certain shit, allow certain shit to happen. He fucked up.
He did. We got to kill this nigga, though, right? Because if they get him and he starts talking,

Speaker 1 he fucked up. Fucking idiot.
Nigga moved.

Speaker 1 Trump would move.

Speaker 1 Of all people, Trump would move. It was almost over for that.
Yo, you saw how close that was?

Speaker 1 He just did a head turn to do some bullshit he did.

Speaker 1 Watch enough shit, man. They be telling you about this shit.
Wait, hold up. If you were a juror, what would you jur?

Speaker 1 Would I juror?

Speaker 1 Yeah. What would your verdict be? Innocent or guilty.

Speaker 2 I would be there to listen to all of

Speaker 2 the evidence to make my decision objectively.

Speaker 1 Okay. What do you think it would be?

Speaker 2 Not motherfucking guilty.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.

Speaker 2 Free him.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 I feel like a lot of people feel that way because of how he looks. Yes, they fuck.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 It has nothing to do with the way he looks.

Speaker 1 It's tough to live in a world with all this patriarchy. It is.
There you go. It's tricky.
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 So you'd free him?

Speaker 1 Huh? Yes.

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 Because she thinks he's. Canada, don't y'all get health care?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Don't y'all got y'all.
What the f?

Speaker 2 I haven't lived in Canada for almost 25 years.

Speaker 1 But why free him?

Speaker 2 And I'm not a, so I'm not a tax-paying citizen, so therefore I do not get the universal health care that the citizens of Canada get.

Speaker 1 And even the people that's on the side of that, you know, because he killed the CEO of the, what company was it? United.

Speaker 1 Okay, guess what they did?

Speaker 1 They were denying. They were denying that.
Guess what they did? Put a new CEO in. They sure did.
Same outcome. Guess what? Nothing changed.

Speaker 2 You're right.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 is this like when y'all wanted fucking Jody Meeks free? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Who's Jodi Meeks?

Speaker 1 That fucking mono light-skinned dude with the light eyes.

Speaker 2 I wasn't invested in that shit. I didn't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 He wasn't white.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
It seems to be a trend. My bad.

Speaker 1 That's my bad. That's my bad.
I'm ignoring it. What else? What else, TDF?

Speaker 1 What else is important? Unimportant. What were we just talking about? Some good news for all of y'all.
If you're thinking about sending your kids to Harvard, it's now free.

Speaker 1 Well, y'all make too much money, but it's free for anybody who makes under $200,000. Any families that make under $200,000 a year, your children now have free tuition at Harvard.

Speaker 1 What's the catch?

Speaker 2 Wait, hold on.

Speaker 2 Is it children or students? Students of any age?

Speaker 2 So what if I make less than $200,000 a year?

Speaker 2 Can I go to Harvard for free?

Speaker 1 You can get in.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Shade.

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 1 No, no, not to you. Not to you, Mel.
I'm saying, somebody asked, what's the catch? That's the catch. Yeah, that's the catch.
It's not like more people can get. They ain't accepting you niggas.
Right.

Speaker 1 Most people who get into Harvard already make more than $200,000.

Speaker 1 There's a class component to it. So it doesn't really make Harvard that much more accessible.
People who make a lot of them folks' legacy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like rich people get into Harvard more than poor people. Poor people rarely get into Harvard.
So

Speaker 1 it's not like they lowered the bar.

Speaker 1 And it's interesting because the right-wingers on the internet last night and all on TV were talking about this is a, you know, awful, this is more DEI, this is letting ungreat, you know, unworthy people.

Speaker 1 It doesn't, it doesn't change the standards of Harvard. If you can get into Harvard, you can go.
It just means poor people don't have to pay, which I think is a great thing. I think it's great, too.

Speaker 1 I just would like to see the numbers. I just think we need to not do it at Harvard because who gives a fuck? I mean, like, do it at the state college.
Do it at the local college.

Speaker 1 Do it at a place where people are are actually getting in. Don't do it at a place where...
Harvard only lists in 3% of all applicants. So

Speaker 1 who cares? Like, there might be 10 poor people who get a free ride now. That's all.
If that. If that.
This is just a headline to sound good. Right.
That's it. Yeah.
It sounds good.

Speaker 1 That's it. Yeah.
It's a good pub. But it don't do shit for you.
And nobody who was going to Harvard, who wasn't going to Harvard, is now going to Harvard. And then they said

Speaker 1 if the family is under 100K,

Speaker 1 you get free room and board.

Speaker 1 Almost,

Speaker 1 how many, what percent is that going to apply to? Again, almost nobody. And again, to your point, if you make $125 and you get in free, but you got to pay room and board.

Speaker 1 Room and board is a lot of fucking money. It is.

Speaker 1 So you still got to come up with cash out of pocket. So it's tough.

Speaker 1 So anyways, it's an interesting announcement, but I want y'all to just look underneath the headline and realize it's not, it doesn't mean much.

Speaker 1 We should be fighting for free public education for everybody. Agreed.
And you know, they ain't doing that. All right.

Speaker 1 Education is still a barrier. Trying to keep folks out.
We get too serious. I can feel it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get up out of there.

Speaker 1 You feel what?

Speaker 1 I'm learning when to pivot.

Speaker 1 We got to learn how to pivot without looking at me like this.

Speaker 1 Smooth.

Speaker 1 That was our first time. I wanted to shut up because that was my first time in 44 years hearing some Harvard news.

Speaker 1 I felt dumb as hell.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 That is fucked up.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. Or great.
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Fuck it.

Speaker 1 Holy shit, Harvard.

Speaker 1 Well, in other news,

Speaker 1 Dreamville announced their final lineup. They did.
Ooh. It's

Speaker 1 April, I want to say, 5th and 6th in North Carolina.

Speaker 1 And it's,

Speaker 1 let me get the lineup up real quick for you guys. I got you.

Speaker 1 It's Wayne, Hot Boys, and the Big Timers, Juvenile, Turk, B, G, Manny Fresh, and Birdman, 21 Savage, Party Next Door, Ludacris, Ari Lennox, Chief Keith, Keisha Cole,

Speaker 1 Boss, Young Nudie, Ab Sol, Lou Omen, Kai Cash, Nico Brim, J. Cole, Erica Badu, Thames, Glorilla, JID,

Speaker 1 Wale, Coco Jones, Big X the Plug, Earth Gang, Anisha, Kaz, Ikea. I want to go.
Night one sounds amazing.

Speaker 2 That's one night?

Speaker 1 No, no. Two nights.

Speaker 1 Once it's got good again, I assume that was night two. J.
Cole, once he said J. Cole, J.
Cole, Eric, Abadu, Tim's, Gorilla, on down. That's night two.
Okay. That's what I want to see.

Speaker 1 Night one sounds amazing. I'm old.
I want night two. Oh, I mean, the big time is, I want to see all that too, but I just feel like I've seen them do their reunion thing now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's part of the story.

Speaker 1 Baby, leaving that nigga on stage. Yeah, we've been seeing that.

Speaker 1 Why are they going that nigga like that? They leaving that nigga on stage. He in the middle of a speech.
They just walking out. Why the fuck are they doing them like that, bro? What the fuck is he on?

Speaker 1 What's up?

Speaker 1 Put me on, son. I don't know.
Call Mac Maiden on them niggas. Why the fuck they keep leaving baby on stage? Mid-speech.
Yo, I love y'all niggas. Them niggas

Speaker 1 in unison. Like, I'm seeing these clips.
I'm like, yo, how old do you got to be before somebody pulls you aside? Like, yo, enough of this tour life. It ain't good no more.

Speaker 1 Like, remember the white dude that keep doing Vegas that

Speaker 1 they kept sending out there? What's his name? Frankie something?

Speaker 1 Not Te Beverly?

Speaker 1 No, you know the guy. I I know.

Speaker 1 But he shouldn't be out there no more.

Speaker 1 What's his name? Not Bob Pope. Tom Jones.
Tom Jones was the way New Jones. It was Frank Something.
Frankie. Frankie Valley.
Betty Valley. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Frankie Valley.

Speaker 1 What are our resident white experts?

Speaker 1 So why they keep seeing clips of Birdman doing this shit? It's like, yo, at some point, you got to remember how old people are. It's like, get him out of there.
But he's not that old.

Speaker 1 How old is Birdman? He's not that old, nigga.

Speaker 1 It's got to be something else joe he's not old

Speaker 1 why he's touring or why they walking off on him both i think it's business that we got to do this show together but we don't really with you like that yeah i'm doing my contractual part here this is yo need bread everybody ain't going to be

Speaker 1 they might not really with him that's like joe

Speaker 1 while i'm talking and not just that if our business

Speaker 1 if our business was right

Speaker 1 I might not have to do this tour.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 Burman robbed them niggas for years, according to them. So, if our business was right, I wouldn't even be happy to do that.

Speaker 1 Let me say this. Do we really look at it as robbery, nigga?

Speaker 1 He put the investment out there.

Speaker 1 He did a lot, right?

Speaker 1 He presented them to the world. Correct.
He marketed the promotion. I mean, Birdman,

Speaker 1 when the big, I don't really know the story, I'm not a hip-hop head like you,

Speaker 1 but from

Speaker 1 what I've seen when the Hot Boys was out, video shoots and all that stuff, like, you heard about Birdman putting that shit together? Yes.

Speaker 1 So, does he not deserve the kickback ROI and investment plus more for all the investment that he had to put for six or seven motherfuckers?

Speaker 1 Juvenile Manny Fresh, Lil Wayne, all

Speaker 1 BG Juvia. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, I'm agreeing with you.
Now, what happens is, and this is most hip-hop, that's that initial deal. I'm putting you on.
Yes, now it might come time where, all right,

Speaker 1 I've become a bigger star than we might have imagined. I may want to restructure this deal now.

Speaker 1 Or

Speaker 1 I want to make more money now. Yes?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 And that's where the beefs come in with a lot of times. I want to own my shit now.
Oh, okay. Yo, Wayne was going to leave and go to Rockefeller with Hove.

Speaker 1 Allegedly.

Speaker 1 Okay, allegedly.

Speaker 1 They told him, yo, we'll stay here. We'll give you your own label.
Gave him young money.

Speaker 1 What he didn't know, they gave him 49% of young money.

Speaker 1 Jesus. So you really, you think you got your own label, but you don't because I got 51% of what we gave you.

Speaker 1 As you find out these things, you start to think the person that I looked up to, that was my friend, that was my mentor, that I caught my father, really did not have my best interest in mind.

Speaker 1 And now beefs. Wait, do you mean, does that mean I don't have your best interest

Speaker 1 in mind, or that I have to make my money back that I spent? It might be even true.

Speaker 1 Just using Lil Wayne alone,

Speaker 1 I think it's safe to assume. You recouped.
He recouped.

Speaker 2 All right, handsomely.

Speaker 1 Just Wayne.

Speaker 1 But then how about this? You hear plenty of times where somebody helps somebody become popular.

Speaker 1 I was expected to.

Speaker 1 I said it's safe to assume. You hear a lot of stories where somebody helps somebody get popular, put all the legwork in, and when they become famous, they leave them in a day.
They dip off.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. So sometimes you got to protect yourself.
Now, I don't know the details of it, but a lot of niggas got to protect themselves. Agree.

Speaker 1 You have to protect yourself.

Speaker 1 I've told you that. I don't think both of the debts either.

Speaker 1 That's where the problem comes. Both sides are trying to protect themselves.
And then you start to realize, oh, shit, well, we kind of married at this point. I really can't get XYZ without you.

Speaker 1 And here we go with them on tour together.

Speaker 1 I don't want to talk about them because I don't know. The details.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't got to detect that.
But what I can say

Speaker 1 is entertainment is it could look like somebody is successful enough to recoup and only 2%

Speaker 1 of earnings be going toward a recoupment. You never know when somebody is recouped or not, according to the paperwork.

Speaker 1 That's true. And shit, a lot of contracts are designed so you can't recoup.
Then there's that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. So that's why they're leaving them on stage.
Yo, fuck you.

Speaker 1 This is all speculation. While we're here, fucking.

Speaker 1 But I could understand that, is what I'm saying. Got it.

Speaker 1 This is just business. Iggy Azalea tweeted on this news.
Not this news, but

Speaker 1 related news. Universal Music, mark my words, you ugly bitch, you will pay me what is owed.

Speaker 1 This has been going on between myself and them privately for over two years and counting, by the way.

Speaker 1 She continues, crazy how in my entire career I was never paid a single royalty by Universal Music for anything outside of the USA.

Speaker 1 They owe me millions of dollars in back pay that they technically stole from me as per my contract. I am due payment.
The amount owed is in the eight figure range.

Speaker 1 Last week they tried to respond to my lawyer and offer me a settlement of 18k.

Speaker 1 I'm told this is a normal response from their lawyers and after appearing in court they end up paying millions as they're supposed to.

Speaker 1 Thankfully I'm well off and I can and will pursue this issue until they pay me what they owe.

Speaker 1 But I'd like to publicly say that I think Universal Music are criminals who actively take advantage of all of their artists in perpetuity for their own gain.

Speaker 1 They are the scummiest company, and they do this to so many artists

Speaker 1 who unfortunately can't afford to fight for what they're owed. Thus, they get away with this behavior.

Speaker 1 Universal music really needs to do better in their treatment of the artists who, quite literally, earned the millions via intellectual property. They had zero part in creating yuck.

Speaker 1 That was her yuck, not mine. I get it.

Speaker 1 A lot of that sounds like buyer's remorse.

Speaker 1 On her part? Yes.

Speaker 2 Meaning she signed the contract, didn't read it through, and this is the outcome.

Speaker 1 A lot of times is I didn't really know I was signing this.

Speaker 1 I thought it was that. Oh, shit.
I signed this.

Speaker 1 And now I want to rectify it.

Speaker 1 Hey,

Speaker 1 she's doing it the right way because she got lawyers involved and stuff.

Speaker 1 She said, this is normal where they'll lowball offer you for a settlement.

Speaker 1 And I'm not even mad at that. Not taking the company's side, but I'm never mad at the attempt.
I am. I'm never mad at the attempt.
It's unethical. I mean,

Speaker 1 here's my thing. If you and I sign a deal and it's a bad deal, you just got to hold that L, right?

Speaker 1 But what I'm hearing her say and other artists say is sometimes they're dishonest even in this context of the deal we signed. Like they actually don't do what they say they're going to do.

Speaker 1 And it's only when we do forensic accounting, it's only when we dig deeper that we realize they didn't give us the money.

Speaker 1 But the problem is, the artist is so broke, they can't afford to fight for the thing they actually deserve. I'm with you.
If you sign a bad deal and you don't like the deal,

Speaker 1 but what I hear a lot of artists say is that these labels are stealing their money, and they know we don't have enough money to prove it.

Speaker 1 That's the part I think is fucked up.

Speaker 1 And I'm with you. That part is fucked up.
I'm just talking about people signing bad deals and then regretting the deal later on. Or had I known this, I would have never signed that.
Well, and

Speaker 1 that's on you.

Speaker 2 But doesn't almost every single artist say that?

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's a predatory industry.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 And that's the problem. I remember what.
Well, it's no, I'm sorry, Coco.

Speaker 1 I made this example to make it where like a regular person might understand who don't sign record label contracts.

Speaker 1 We made the jokes before about the used car lot.

Speaker 1 All right, you going on a used car lot.

Speaker 2 And them selling you a lemon.

Speaker 1 Nah, not a lemon. Oh, okay.
Yo, you want this car? Cool. We'll put you in this car.
Give us five grand down.

Speaker 1 Your interest rate is 27 you don't even know what that means yeah i understand you just so glad all right cool i got the car

Speaker 1 i can afford to pay then you realize you go home and look at it wait the car is worth how much and if i pay this off i've bought this car three times over oh they me no they didn't you

Speaker 1 You don't know what you were signing. And now you're going to be true, though, right? I mean, like, you made a bad choice, but somebody, it's still predatory.
You got in the bed, though.

Speaker 1 That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 It's a predatory system that is. They go to people who don't have many choices and they

Speaker 1 prey on your desperation and lack of knowledge. I remember, I wasn't here, but I remember watching when Jadakiss was here with his father and Jaywan, and they were talking about this.

Speaker 1 The first deal they got offered was trash, and the only thing that stopped him from doing it was the parents' kids. Was a parent who would say, don't do this.

Speaker 1 Interestingly enough, he ended up with a bad boy deal that ended up being trash. Even after that, because you heard what he told him.

Speaker 1 As soon as y'all got 18, you went and signed your own deal without us looking at it. And it turned out to be a bad deal.

Speaker 1 The problem is for me, some people don't have that knowledge and just make their own choice a lot of people take that first deal not knowing any better and that's that's what i have issue if everybody ended up in that second deal i got that that's on you but see now today i'm only speaking today

Speaker 1 i think if you end up in that first deal today that's kind of on you with all the information and stories we got now You should be skeptical of any deal that comes across your desk.

Speaker 1 You should have it looked at. It's dying.
The mine is the money, man. It's needing the money.
It's needed at instant.

Speaker 1 And they hit you with the, yo, I got a bag of money right here and a diamond chain for you, but you got to sign right now. This offer offer expires when i walk out the door

Speaker 1 niggas are going to sign yeah i mean that's capitalism and so i guess that's what i'm saying

Speaker 1 i i hate that people are making bad choices but i do got smoke for the companies too because they could not do that and they could still make a lot of money without

Speaker 1 then how would they benefit how would they grow how would they be able to get other you know if universal made half the money it made it it needs to the money universal the money needs to go

Speaker 1 in the circle to me. It needs to go in the circle so you can invest in more artists and do whatever you can do.

Speaker 1 The game is there to be taken advantage of. People are there to be taken advantage of.

Speaker 2 So basically, ethics don't

Speaker 2 play any role in business whatsoever. No.

Speaker 1 And the business that had ethics, a lot of them went down under.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it was. Some of them pop shops.
Some of the people that started that had ethics when they wanted to pay,

Speaker 1 we watch a lot of businesses go down under for having ethics. It sounds fucked up, but that's the truth.
Whether society is built like that or not, that's what. But

Speaker 1 there's a huge gap between exploiting the shit out of everybody and making deals so generous that your company can't sustain itself. There's a middle ground.
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 Even just like slightly fucked up.

Speaker 1 It's just slightly fucked up. But once you set the bar

Speaker 1 of making deals that are, as you said, generous to everybody, you fuck the entire industry up doing that.

Speaker 1 They're not trying to do that.

Speaker 1 Now a new bar is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a good thing.

Speaker 1 Niggas ain't trying to change the... Yo, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Let's remove it is broke.

Speaker 1 Broke to who? Let me ask you a question, Mark. Let's remove this.
Every artist that's this. I'm talking about as the business, as the company, cool, you smart enough to not sign this deal.

Speaker 1 Salute to you. I'm going to go get me.
But this is not about being smart. This is what I say.

Speaker 1 If, just to use Joe's example, if Joe came in here and paid all of us exactly half of what he pays us, whatever that number is, right? A lot of us,

Speaker 1 a lot of us.

Speaker 1 Would go that would be fucked up, but a lot of us might be in a position where we can't leave. True.
And he can just say that's business. Let me ask you a question.

Speaker 1 And it wouldn't be that that we're not smart enough to know that. It's just we wouldn't have a choice.
Let's remove that part. Let's talk about generosity.

Speaker 1 We watch a lot of people be generous in life and go down under, niggas.

Speaker 1 Artist, MC Hammer, nigga. Generosity, put him down under.
Mike Tyson, generosity, put him down under. Where's the middle ground?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but sometimes you have to do things to sometimes you have to take advantage in order to succeed. But here's what I'm saying.
It's fucked up to say, but it's true. Generosity.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Just let me finish this

Speaker 1 respect. I'm saying something, bro.
Put me in my place, please. No, it's not putting in your place.
I'm just saying, MC Hammer Hammer giving buying 30 cars and a whole lot of dances, right?

Speaker 1 That's generosity.

Speaker 1 A company not exploiting you is not Universal is not being generous by paying people what they owe or by not extracting all the labor from somebody and giving them just the slightest amount to keep them on board.

Speaker 1 That's not generosity. And I think part of our system is fucked up is we act like they're doing us a favor by paying us what's ours.
The system is fucked up. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 I don't want to compare that to generosity. I don't want to compare Universal to the rapper who just came out of the project is buying all his homies change.
Like, that ain't the same shit.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying? Like, they owe us. They owe us.
I'm saying us, like, corporations owe everyday people. They do.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, to me, that's the difference.

Speaker 1 I think they owe whatever you agree on in your contract. All right.
And if you agree on some bad terms, then you got some bad terms. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I agree. I agree with that part.

Speaker 1 And I mean, y'all segue kind of quick, but

Speaker 1 to whom they concern, if you'll keep the job with half to pay, then just before you leave, write your name and all.

Speaker 1 Just write down the little box over there. Little box over there.

Speaker 1 Like, if on half to pay, you'll still come to work out of need and necessity,

Speaker 1 then all you got to do is grab a pen and paper and write it. Just write it over there.
Get that done. They say that.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Anyways.

Speaker 1 Yo, what are you telling me about Kanye? Let me hear it. No, I was just, I have Kanye blocked up, so I don't really be seeing, I don't see shit.
But

Speaker 2 that's yours.

Speaker 1 People keep tagging me and Paul's.

Speaker 1 He's on a tweet rant again, going off about a whole bunch of shit. And one of the things that stood out, he said, fuck Jim Jones.
And I'm like, wait, what? I love that.

Speaker 2 And they were just on tour together?

Speaker 1 Kind of? No, it was never.

Speaker 1 They were hanging out. Okay, I just checked it.
Jim went out there to Japan, hung out, big them up. Give the jeans in the belt.
Yeah. Kanye tweeting the diplomat piece and all that.

Speaker 1 And then this.

Speaker 1 What you want, man?

Speaker 1 It don't take much. You do that all the time.

Speaker 1 Probably part of the plan, man, to bring visibility. I don't know.

Speaker 2 What's the plan?

Speaker 2 To bring visibility where?

Speaker 1 To Jim's album.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 There's better ways to do that than fuck Jim Jones. Jim Jones has a good album.
Listen to it. I like it.
Gray's my favorite shit I'm listening to, right?

Speaker 1 Is anybody going to take what he's saying serious based on his rants? But

Speaker 1 if this is going to make you say, hey, Kanye said, fuck Jim Jones, let me go listen to his album now.

Speaker 1 I don't think that would do that. Yeah, nah, it don't.
But that's what he's been doing the whole time.

Speaker 1 Don't sound like he spoke to somebody.

Speaker 1 Cam? I'm not putting Cam's name in nothing, but it sounded like he spoke to somebody.

Speaker 1 I think he's not. It could be that.
I think that's true, and I think he's not well, and he just does shit.

Speaker 1 I remember he was on Drink Champs calling Diddy a fed and fuck Diddy and tweeting crazy shit about Diddy. And then just last night, he's on Instagram telling him that he's like a father to him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's some more of his tweets was about that. So he's up here

Speaker 1 basically defending the Cassie video.

Speaker 1 Kanye West is right now.

Speaker 2 Yes. What's he saying in defense?

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, never mind.

Speaker 2 All right, all right, fine, fine, fine, fine.

Speaker 1 He's victim blaming. Let's put it that way.

Speaker 2 Thank you for for summing it up.

Speaker 1 It's wild. And then, you know, he Diddy called him last night or the last day or two, and then he Shady Room had an exclusive on it, and they played the whole audio call.

Speaker 1 And it's weird. First of all, I think Puff called Ye because he wanted to talk to Ye.
I don't think Puff knew that Ye was going to be putting it on the internet.

Speaker 1 Like, I can't imagine calling somebody from prison. Being this private, not doing no interviews, and suddenly wanting my whole conversation in public.

Speaker 2 But wait, what kind of phone was he talking to him on?

Speaker 1 It was a legal one.

Speaker 2 It was the one where they say this call is being recorded.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that don't mean that this person that you're talking to is recording it. That means that the thing

Speaker 1 that anything can happen. It means that anything can happen.
But the prison recording it don't mean we're going to give it to the shade room either.

Speaker 1 That's just saying if you say some shit on this call.

Speaker 2 How do we hear any kind of calls? The calls on fucking dateline, the calls on whatever blog, like we hear them because they're recorded.

Speaker 2 So him thinking that this isn't gonna go anywhere him did he talking to Kanye seems a little preposterous to me I think anybody that talks or texts Kanye should expect it to go out yeah

Speaker 1 that's just anything I was making that joke with my girl yesterday I'm like Kanye is the dude that if he texts you you don't even respond that you had to voice note him like

Speaker 1 yeah you might not even want to do that like you just nah

Speaker 1 nah it would I wouldn't say nothing to him and Puff didn't say nothing to him crazy but he was just talking to him clearly in what seemed like a private moment.

Speaker 1 And he was trying to give Ye this pep talk. He was like, you know, the system is wicked, wicked, wicked.

Speaker 1 That's the only thing he said about himself, kind of like, as if the wicked system is why he's in jail. As if like he had did nothing wrong, and it's just a wicked system.

Speaker 1 But then on top of that, he was trying to give Ye the pep talk. Like, you got to get back on stage.
We need you rocking mics again. We need you cutting samples again.
We need, I need the old Ye back.

Speaker 1 And Ye was just like, yes, sir. He was very like deferential and like mature in the conversation.
And then he was like, you've been like a father to me. Even before I met you, you raised me, you know.

Speaker 1 And it was all, it was like a love fest with Puff.

Speaker 1 And then on Twitter, he's doing the opposite. He's tearing down Kim, he's tearing down Jim Jones.
He's turning down all these people. So it seems like he's on another rant, like, like, like Flip said.

Speaker 1 And I don't know if it's because the album is out,

Speaker 1 if it's a mental health thing, if it's all the above. I don't know, but I ain't gonna lie, sometimes it gets addictive.
I can't stop watching.

Speaker 1 I'm the opposite. I don't want to watch it.
Complete opposite.

Speaker 1 I said after last time, I was like, all right, enough. Block mute.
I don't want to see this shit no more. He just said, fuck everybody.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Except for Joe.

Speaker 1 He always big up Joe. Joe, but then he loves you.

Speaker 1 I'm about to look into you a little bit, Lil Mo.

Speaker 1 Joe is the only nigga he don't say fuck.

Speaker 1 Jim was just with him, but he gonna big up Joe in some way. He fucking at church, bigging up Joe.
He's somewhere else, bigging up Joe. Well, Joe Budden says, everywhere, what's going on, Joe?

Speaker 1 Put me on to you and Kanye in a relationship.

Speaker 1 Oh, I don't know what to say. Why he never shoot at you? You say a lot of preposterous shit up here that deserves it, that can get you shot at.

Speaker 1 And be clear, for me, Joe Budden, God's not finished is an insult.

Speaker 1 It's not an insult. That's not an insult.
It's a little bit of an insult.

Speaker 1 It can be taken.

Speaker 1 It's a fucking insult. What?

Speaker 1 We would just say nobody's whole name, singing it, and then say, God is not finished with you. Are you crazy?

Speaker 1 Joe, stop. Stop, Joe.
That is an insult. That's a lot of Bigger heights for you.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 What? Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Rough around the edge of the street. Yeah, this man father.

Speaker 1 So you feel like he tries like. Did he say that when he was a billionaire? Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 God ain't finished. Joe Budden.
He was in Japan. He was singing.

Speaker 1 He was just singing at his show. He said, Joe Budden,

Speaker 1 God's not finished.

Speaker 1 And then niggas started texting me with that. I'm like, nigga, God is done with me.

Speaker 1 No, he's not, though. He's not.
No, he's not. You still got the text that you were trying to get.
Word. God's nothing to do.
Your God don't play about you.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get down to the bottom of you and Kanye. I'm going to go.

Speaker 1 Let me call him Shout A and follow if I go through your phone, nigga. Nothing is happening with me and Kanye.
Yo, that nigga is cheap. Let me assure you.
So, dissipate now, so he can shoot at you.

Speaker 1 Say something so he can shoot at you. He don't shoot at you.
You said mad shit. The last time he shouted you out recently,

Speaker 1 a couple of paws before that, we was talking about how the shit that he's doing is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 What does he go on as part of it? Yeah, I come on here and say, I'm not talking about him. He said, oh, Joe Bunny said.
Somehow, he finds a way.

Speaker 1 He finds a way. I didn't even have him written on my list with all this shit y'all talking about.
I had him with him going back and forth with Kim over trademark and North.

Speaker 1 That's what I was about to talk about. I thought that was kind of interesting.
I thought it was super interesting. I wanted to hear where y'all stood on that.

Speaker 1 If y'all saw the text exchange

Speaker 1 without pulling it up, just off the dome. Got it.

Speaker 1 I guess there was a puff song that had North vocals that Kim stopped.

Speaker 1 Kim said, uh-uh, not the look I want. We dead in that.
So her and Kanye had a text exchange about who has the right to do that and who owns North's trademark.

Speaker 1 Which Kim let him know or Kanye found out once that block happened that oh shit It's Kim and she can't do that So he came in hot and he was like yo amend this amend this, or I'm going to turn it up on both of us.

Speaker 1 No one will be able to recover. If you just read how Kanye texts people, I can't see you wanting to text with him.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 I feel she's like, I feel like the world was in a better place when Kanye didn't have a phone. Yeah, there was a long time, too, where he was like a proponent of just the laptop.

Speaker 1 What did you say on Freeze? It's more than that. It's more because on Playboy Cardi's album,

Speaker 1 she's on the album, and Kanye was supposed to have been on there, and he he was taking off.

Speaker 1 So now he's tight.

Speaker 1 That's kind of funny. No, this is funny now.
Now he's tight. That's funny.
That's funny. That's what all this

Speaker 1 spurs from to me. Y'all don't feel that she should have mended? Y'all don't feel that he should have buttoned.
Hell no. Why? Because of how he's acting on the internet? He's erratic.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you're fighting to get your kid on Diddy's album,

Speaker 1 I feel like that's a sign right there that you're not capable of making good choices. Oh, come on, man.
Stop it. Come on.
Would you put your kid on Diddy's album?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 The loved one that before, yes.

Speaker 2 No, we're talking about now.

Speaker 1 Diddy, I don't, I'm not aware of an album that Diddy has right now. But if he did have an album, my child.

Speaker 1 How do you let y'all do that at the flip? You said you work with Kevin Spacey. Yeah, he doesn't have an album.

Speaker 1 Exactly. It's a love album.
I would have J.R. one of my children on that album, yes.
The love album that came out, yes. All right, let me ask you.

Speaker 1 Because that album came out before all the other shit started.

Speaker 1 Yes, sure. So if he had an album coming out next month, would you allow your child on that album?

Speaker 1 I don't know. And the title is crazy of the album.
No,

Speaker 1 love.

Speaker 1 The title was something like, let me tell you what she did, though.

Speaker 1 No, it's not going to stop it.

Speaker 1 No. The title is something like, hey, she wasn't at it.

Speaker 1 They sped up the film. No, I wouldn't do that.
No,

Speaker 1 nothing like that. They sped up the film.

Speaker 1 If it was an album of just pure art, man, I mean, to be honest, I mean, we saw the video, but like, what Mace said recently, that if he was on the list, he'll go visit Diddy, right?

Speaker 1 A lot of this stuff is alleged. It still should be, regardless if it's guilty before innocent, still should be innocent before guilty.

Speaker 1 So right now, if he was coming out with an album that he had a record on and one of my children were on it, I would approve the sample. Okay.

Speaker 1 I would approve the voice. But the point is, I think she has a right to say, as a parent, I don't think that's.
I do. I do think so as well.
You know what I'm saying? And her, Ye go back.

Speaker 1 And then Ye also was making it like a race thing, too. Like, now a white woman is controlling.

Speaker 1 I'm going to read a couple of tweets on that. Because the first one is, I held my tongue about not being on Cardi album.

Speaker 1 Him going to my ex to ask my daughter to be on a song two days later was too far. Nobody finna play with me.
What was him? Took my Cardi. Cardi.
Because Cardi had to hit Kim to get

Speaker 1 the daughter on the album. That's funny, though.
And then he says,

Speaker 1 So Kim got the name and likeness over my black children.

Speaker 1 So a white woman has control over the name and likeness of my black children and then speaks to Cardi about putting my daughter on a song with him.

Speaker 1 These dumbass celebrities be trying to play with me in my face.

Speaker 1 Isn't this?

Speaker 1 First, he needs to knock off that white woman shit. First of all, when he was waiting.
He married her. Right.
First of all, she wasn't white when you was fucking her, right? Right. Whoa.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, he wasn't claiming her as white. No, he wasn't.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 His claim wasn't this shit.

Speaker 1 You know how black people, yeah, she's Italian. She's Armenian.
They found all kinds of shit to say she ain't white. Now all of a sudden he a fucking with her.
She's white again. Yes, nigga.

Speaker 1 But also, like, you made a a choice if you if you if you choose to have a child with a white woman then yes a white woman is going to control what your children do that's the choice you made for it yeah

Speaker 1 let it you got you got it that's why the foundational blacks say you're not supposed to

Speaker 1 the fba

Speaker 1 that's why they say you know the fbas on their jobs instead of behind kanye right fbas don't stop please hey listen leave them alone don't get them

Speaker 1 stop we can't jump like that because they down with you stop please what i will say I don't even want to talk about Kanye. Stop talking about me.

Speaker 1 If any one of my baby mamas wakes up and starts rocking a swastika shirt, I'm not giving them rights to anything. Simple.
Boom. Yeah.
I agree. That's it.
I agree.

Speaker 1 Not a trademark, not a copyright, not a child support. Do you think it's going to get custody? I'm just going to say, whatever rights you do got.
Yeah, it's over. We can't go talk about that.

Speaker 1 That's different. You can take away.
Bro, put them rights in a little mason jar. Mail it on over.
Mail it on over. I agree with you on that.
A swastika. Because even no matter,

Speaker 1 regardless of your views on things, like you're not thinking about your kid having to go to school and just be outside and walk around and

Speaker 1 hide it. He's standing in the middle of the street with a swastika, having people record him.
He's just doing bullshit. He's doing bullshit.
He's doing bullshit. He's doing a lot of bullshit.

Speaker 1 He's been doing bullshit for a while. He's doing bullshit.
And not caring how it affects anybody else. God's not finished.

Speaker 1 Or you. No, for real.
God's not done with you. He's not done with you either.
I think he is. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 This is it, y'all.

Speaker 1 Because you were your move.

Speaker 1 We don't give a fuck about that moon, nigga.

Speaker 1 You got to take care of us, nigga.

Speaker 1 We ain't moved, nigga. Wait, wait.

Speaker 1 This ain't made, nigga. We not made.

Speaker 1 This perfectly lines up to one of my

Speaker 1 topics I had for y'all.

Speaker 1 This is what a chocolate. This lines up perfectly.

Speaker 1 This lines up perfectly.

Speaker 1 But I didn't do it because I didn't want y'all to judge me for being depressed. Let's hear it.
Pissing her off, man. She's doing the eye roll.
Go ahead. Wait, I didn't say nothing, Mel.
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 Which one of us? Was it me, Mal? I didn't even say nothing. The male was just.

Speaker 1 You didn't. Go ahead.
Was it me, Mel? Go ahead. I missed this.
Yeah, that was your.

Speaker 1 What did I say? We always try to put it on me. No, I didn't.
I didn't even know that was me. I'm just saying.
I don't know. Tell me.
It was you.

Speaker 2 Do you guys just really, really? It's tasteless as fuck. Stop talking about that shit.
It is not a light matter. Don't do it.
Step the fuck away from it. What are you talking about? The made shit.

Speaker 2 Don't mention it. Don't talk about it.
If you cannot be respectful respectful about it, leave it alone.

Speaker 1 I'm lost. Carry on.
I don't care

Speaker 1 the depression thing.

Speaker 1 Mel, that wasn't to you. That was more to Joe, Mel, to bother him and say that we weren't helping him do anything.
It was a joke to him because he came in here saying that he was depressed earlier.

Speaker 1 It was supposed to be between him and I, but I apologize to you if that offended you. Thank you.
I will not crack that joke again. Thank you.
Joe,

Speaker 1 depressive.

Speaker 1 Depressive. Well, cool, but chill for a minute.

Speaker 1 I love when someone else's trigger defends me.

Speaker 1 That's right.

Speaker 1 Yo, Johobu just had to roll her eyes.

Speaker 1 And you probably want to do that, man. You're going to tell me.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you're right. But when it comes to something like that, I apologize for you.

Speaker 1 You got to stand strong. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry. That wasn't even thing.

Speaker 1 I don't remember now.

Speaker 1 I know. What was I talking about just though? We're talking about

Speaker 1 swastikas. Yes.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of different things we can find depressing in here. You pivoted this story you were about to tell, something about.

Speaker 1 My depressing question was,

Speaker 1 has life

Speaker 1 killed hope

Speaker 1 for any of you?

Speaker 1 And if not,

Speaker 1 then what are the things that you still have hope for?

Speaker 1 And that's heavy.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I told you it was one of my depressing topics. Nigga, what's up with you today, nigga?

Speaker 1 But then I was like, but wait, because while it started off rooted in depression, the more I thought about it, I was like, well, that's one of the great things about having youth on your side and being young is that you have hope for so many things.

Speaker 2 You're still optimistic.

Speaker 1 Life hasn't fucking changed

Speaker 1 enough. And as you get older, right? Like, I'm in the shower today at 44, like, you know, doing math.
Like,

Speaker 1 well,

Speaker 1 another 20 to 30 years would be awesome. And that makes things kind of finite, right? Like there's some things we could lose hope for.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that's where

Speaker 1 y'all are going to say it, but that's where family and kids come in, bro.

Speaker 1 Your hope now transfers into that. Okay, I know that that's the cool.
That's the truth. Listen to me.
I know that that's true for some and a cool cliche thing to say and do.

Speaker 1 I too feel like that when I look at my kids and then I remember that,

Speaker 1 no, we're going to die and they're going to keep going and they're going to come to the funeral with the shades and shed some thug tears and then they're going to keep it pushing on their own journey.

Speaker 1 So even that dampens my.

Speaker 1 Oh, you just want to be in a sad place there. Well, I'm just saying you can feel good looking at your kid, but you can be dead and whenever you're dead and then that's it.

Speaker 1 So that can get depressing.

Speaker 1 You're going to die no matter what answer my hope question super dad I just told you yes I still have hope now the hope transfers into my kids. But hope for what?

Speaker 1 So that I can bring her up to be a proper functioning adult in fucking society.

Speaker 1 I can give her the things that I didn't have coming up. Like it's almost like I'm giving her a life that

Speaker 1 I just couldn't have. Like

Speaker 1 access to schools, access to these things.

Speaker 1 I get a kick out of that. That's my

Speaker 1 joy. When you love me, do you have hope for anything

Speaker 1 outside of

Speaker 1 your kids or your family-related stuff? Like personal hope? Yeah. Any hope.
Just hope.

Speaker 1 That is my source of hope. It's hard to have hope in the world at large, I will say.
It's fucked up out there, so I look into them. I agree with you.
Yeah, like

Speaker 1 it sounds like a weird question until you really get to trying to answer it. Niggas ain't got no hope.

Speaker 1 I got hope.

Speaker 1 You don't have hope? I got hope. Fuck that.
I don't hope to see my children, you know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you niggas is hopeless. No, it's not.
No, it's not, my nigga.

Speaker 1 Stop doing that. Yeah, you got to stop that.
Because you just don't share your feelings like that. But stop doing it.
You have to feel the same way. Nigga, you do.

Speaker 1 When you have kids, you can't be scared. No, I do, but I think that kid shit is a scapegoat and the world is just much larger.
All right, we got that.

Speaker 1 Put that in our default box. Why is that a scapegoat?

Speaker 1 What if you're not going to be able to do that? Because put that in the default box. And now, what else is there

Speaker 1 in the whole universe that you have hope for or that the hope has dwindled for?

Speaker 1 What if you not having hope affects your family?

Speaker 1 What if you not having hope and you being grumpy or whatever it is affects your family, affects how they move day to day?

Speaker 1 Family is important to a lot of us. Having hope and inspiring and wanting them to know that no matter what happens, I'm going to be here for you.

Speaker 1 And I have hope to see you live and be the best person that you can be in this world.

Speaker 1 That's beautiful.

Speaker 1 i didn't think so i'm just

Speaker 1 i'm trying to wait to wrap i'm trying some new techniques

Speaker 1 how was that

Speaker 1 dear boy

Speaker 1 workshop some things yeah

Speaker 1 all right you got it i want to drain your life you got it no i get what you said

Speaker 1 i put hope in i mean i agree with y'all on on the kids in the future um

Speaker 1 but i also like I think part of why I was an activist and part of why I do the work I do is because I actually believe the world can be better than we found it against all evidence to the contrary because the world looks like it's going to be fucked up.

Speaker 1 It's only going to get worse.

Speaker 1 But I've seen like struggles get won. I mean, just in like the last 10 years, like, or the last 20 years, you've seen marriage equality.
People thought that would never happen.

Speaker 1 It could be something as simple as legalizing weed. Like, I remember when people said that could never happen.
And now, like, you can buy weed everywhere.

Speaker 1 Like, the world can be so different in 24 hours or 12 months or 20. So I always look to the victories and be like, we could change some other shit.
Like, we could change so people get housing.

Speaker 1 We could change so people get healthcare. We could change so people aren't oppressed anymore.
People can get get their land back. Like, we could do shit if we organize.
That's my hope.

Speaker 1 I don't always act on the hope. Sometimes I get caught up in the day-to-day just wanting to eat or hope my team makes the playoffs or hope that so-and-so was, you know, hoping to get it.

Speaker 1 Well, I hope that Aaron Rodgers don't come to the Steelers. I got hope.
Yeah, that ain't. I got hope.
God damn it. Yeah, that's a good hope.

Speaker 1 But there's other shit we can hope for. So

Speaker 1 that's what keeps me energized. That's what keeps me energized.
And hoping for it and working towards it is two different things, would you say? Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, see, to me, that's the difference between hope and hope. If you hope that the world change, but you work towards contributing to the world changing, right?

Speaker 1 Like out there, so we can give you that and salute you because you try to make a difference. Sometimes you do the work.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 A lot of us don't have the determination.

Speaker 1 Not saying we don't have the determination, but a lot of us don't have the opportunities to help the world get changed, or we don't have the knowledge that you may have. And the work fuels the hope.

Speaker 1 Like, the more you work, the more you're like, oh, this shit is winnable. Like, this is a winnable fight.
It's a hard fight, but it's a winnable fight. That's why we say hope and not optimism.

Speaker 1 Optimism is just like everything's going to be all right. It'll just work out.
Hope is against the odds, and you got to be engaged in that shit, shit, and you got to actually know it's fucked up.

Speaker 1 The odds are against me, but I can still win.

Speaker 1 Real quick, the mood that the mood that Joe described earlier, I've gotten into that mood. Just looking at shit like, man, what the fuck?

Speaker 2 I wouldn't necessarily say that you're depressed. Hold on, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 Oh, sorry, go ahead. Yeah, I've gotten into that mood, like looking at shit.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's my girl.

Speaker 1 I look at shit in society, look at, just think about the shit that my children have to go through, and just think about just

Speaker 1 a lot of shit that he said I could relate to, but my work and my determination snaps me out of that like if I sit in it it fucks me up so I could relate

Speaker 1 does it distract you from it it's a distraction because I don't want to because then same thing with thinking that damn I'm not gonna be here one day that shit still fucks me up yeah nigga what if something happened to one of my kids like all this shit they had to take the train what if something happened to them like look you can't even go outside and and be free or you can't express yourself without being judged maimed or even attacked outside like these things happen I know how I'm going to protect myself.

Speaker 1 I know the lengths I'm going to go. But when it's other people, when you watch other people, like when he says he watches his brothers and he got emotional, the same thing with my daughter.

Speaker 1 My daughter, sweet 16, coming up. I started to shed a tear.
I look at all the old pictures in my phone of my children. I start to cry.
Same thing with J.R. Like, yo, pops, I'm not going to be here.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go film for,

Speaker 1 what's my man, people's name for Sugar Hill?

Speaker 1 I'm going to go fill stuff with Jewels and I'm going to

Speaker 1 film a cooking show. To watch J.R.
go on his own makes me a little like, damn. I got to tell somebody for labor now.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, because I pay him a lot of money. But what I'm saying is that I do understand those sentiments, and I share with Joe.
I just have to trick myself and get out of it.

Speaker 1 I can't sit in it too long. But it's because I lay in the bed.
It's been times when I was younger, 19, 20, and my mom says this: I lay in the house for months, just in the crib in the dark.

Speaker 1 I take a shower in the dark, I lay in the dark, and I had to snap out of it. Once my back is against the wall, I have to get to it.

Speaker 2 I feel like what you're describing now in present terms is more more

Speaker 2 melancholy and nostalgia, like kind of like a blend of the two, especially the nostalgic part.

Speaker 1 What does that mean when I can't let go of the past, man? Like, that's just something that's been bothering me. It's nostalgia to a degree.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, when you can't let it go, when you reminisce, I could have did this differently, or I wish I would have did that differently, or I could have regretted that.

Speaker 2 That's just, that's regret. Yeah, that's just a little bit of a job.
That's just regret that

Speaker 1 mix of the two. Because I don't regret nothing, but

Speaker 1 if you're sitting there saying, damn, I could have did that differently, and you harbor on it, that's the reverse. That is right.

Speaker 1 But the nostalgia part is sometimes thinking the past was better than it was.

Speaker 1 Like, really remembering, like, oh, back then, everything was fine. Everything probably wasn't fine.

Speaker 1 You remember good times about back then? Yeah, right. It's easy to look through rosy colored glasses about the past.

Speaker 2 And this is around the age that nostalgia really kind of like starts to set in.

Speaker 1 Oh, hell yeah.

Speaker 2 Like, really starts to set in. So

Speaker 1 I try to live in the death.

Speaker 1 Too much hope or depression for the future. All y'all, because we got really big.
All y'all wake up every morning with the hope that you'll make more money. Is that true or false? True or false.

Speaker 1 Or hopeful. Yeah.
Yes. That's true.
But like, how much more? For me, it's expectation. Or, like, is there, or is the day creeping up where you look at it and be like, you know what?

Speaker 1 I can't say it.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 I'm determined to go get it. Nah.
I'm determined to go get it. Especially

Speaker 1 in

Speaker 1 humanity.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 now it's like,

Speaker 1 nah, I don't think so. I think this is it.
It's easy with the news, especially as much news as you watch to that date line and shit. No, that's the worst of us.

Speaker 2 That's not the depressing part. That's not it.
Because that,

Speaker 2 I don't know if I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 Word, I didn't get none of these. I got these thoughts from the new equalizer commercial.

Speaker 1 Right. Okay.
Because one day you may have had hope that Queen Latifah could do this thing.

Speaker 1 And then you see the trailer. Well, see, that's your fault.
She.

Speaker 1 Well, don't. Big Jersey, Watch itself.

Speaker 1 Watch itself. Flavor unit.

Speaker 1 It's not just music.

Speaker 1 It ain't either. It ain't just music.
Go ahead. It ain't boogie damn production.

Speaker 1 Joey, right.

Speaker 1 Go ahead and say something wrong about flavor unit, nigga. In Jersey? Nope.

Speaker 1 Shit. All right, but go ahead.

Speaker 2 No, I was just going to say, like, the dateline stuff is more outlier stuff. You know what I'm saying? Whereas the news, like, that's just the barrage of bad news and catastrophic news.

Speaker 2 Every fucking day, we've got like breaking news, and just like, oh god, what the fuck else is gonna happen? Like, we're all being kind of like worn down.

Speaker 1 Do you believe? No, I'm sorry. No, go ahead.
Do you believe that? Um,

Speaker 1 we kind of responsible for what we consume, yes, a thousand percent.

Speaker 1 So, it's like if your outlook, if you're watching the news, you watch the news more than my grandmother, like you watch a lot of news.

Speaker 1 It's what

Speaker 1 85-90% negativity on the news? Almost 100%.

Speaker 1 Yeah, damn. You know what I'm saying? So focus on the news in that conversation would be narrow-minded or looking at things in a vacuum.
No, but I'm just saying,

Speaker 1 take the news out of the mindset. We end this thing, and we were born, our parents fucked one night, got it done.
Now we're here. This is the state of things out here.
Y'all have 40 years left, max.

Speaker 1 They have nothing to do with the news. What we consume just being here in its current state ain't the best ain't the worst it ain't the worst either though i didn't say it's the worst so

Speaker 1 it's better than it's been years ago and that's why that's why i put the news in there because if you're consuming and you're getting all the negativity all the negative reports you'll think it's it's much much worse than it is it's bad be clear but it ain't it's been bad it's been worse years ago What year?

Speaker 1 Most of the years.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for the most part. It's been, bro,

Speaker 1 you say all the time, you wish you was in the 60s, 70s. If you really think about it, you really think you wanted to be around in the 60s and 70s?

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 it was worse.

Speaker 1 I'd have killed Bobby Womack.

Speaker 1 Bobby Womack would have been dead, dead. I ain't going to hold you.
That's the question. I ain't going to hold you.
Sam Cook didn't have brothers. Somebody supposes.

Speaker 1 Sam Cook didn't have older cousins or somebody. I think about that a lot.

Speaker 1 That might be top three. Bobby Womack should have been been dead in front of the town, hung on top of the telephone

Speaker 1 like sneakers.

Speaker 1 Sometimes, when you do enough trash shit on your own, you can't worry that much about what somebody else is doing. Yeah, but that's a lot of trash shit.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 1 Nah, fair. Read a Reath and Franklin's biography.
That's all I'm going to say.

Speaker 1 What Sam Cook did to Reetha Franklin? I'm going to say what he did, bro. That wasn't.

Speaker 1 I'll just say Sam Cook, and it wasn't just him. It was all the...
First of all, the RB circuit and the gospel circuit were two of the freakiest places ever.

Speaker 1 Like the gospel circuit was like when they was orgies and all kinds of shit, right? I mean, I was coming back to the book.

Speaker 1 Read this book, yeah. It's read, um, read David Ritz's book on a read, that's even better.
Um, that's the one that has all the good shit in it, but I'll send you the link.

Speaker 1 But but

Speaker 1 not by Sam Cook, but by somebody else, but Sam was getting down with a lot of RB singers when they were 13, 14, 15 years old.

Speaker 1 So that's part of why he ain't noticed what was going on in his own household. Oh, yeah, I I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 Don't do that. Hey, Joe, I'm with you.
Bobby was supposed to have been.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like Mark saying the right thing again. Bobby Womack would have been dead no matter what.
I don't care what the fuck is happening.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 What the fuck is you talking about? Whatever he did, don't nobody deserve for you to wear their clothes,

Speaker 1 wear their clothes to the funeral, take my wife, and then fuck my daughter. And it's a lot.

Speaker 1 It's a lot.

Speaker 1 They was nasty back then, man.

Speaker 1 And we'll make songs about it. That's the ill part.
Remember Roberta Flack's song, Jesse?

Speaker 1 You know, it's for Jesse Jackson.

Speaker 1 No. No, I did not.

Speaker 1 Jesse come home. This bed is.
Yeah. Hey, fair.
Hold on. Get the fuck out of there.
Yo, Mark, let me. Hold on.
Hold on. Give me two seconds.
I didn't know. Play that as your sleeper, please.

Speaker 1 Roberta Fleck told me that.

Speaker 1 What? Yo. Give me.

Speaker 1 Yo, you read a lot of select books. Burke is ill.
He knows. Yo, he said Roberta.
He went to all the time. I asked if that was true.
Roberta. I read it.
Then I asked if it was true.

Speaker 1 I don't mind saying it since she's passed away. Rest in peace.
Yo, I'm reading the lyrics, my friends. It is.

Speaker 1 Read the book. Jesse, come home, there's a hole in the bed where we slept.
Now it's growing cold. Jesse, your face in a place where we lay by the hearth, all apart.
It hangs on my heart.

Speaker 1 Your face in a place. Hey, Jesse, it's lonely.
Come home. Jesse was putting it in the body.
Jesse was beating.

Speaker 1 He was getting away from that Dr. King.
But to your point, you know who that Dr. King and Jesse's background singers was in the 70s? I mean, Robert's background singers was in the 70s and 80s?

Speaker 1 One of Jesse's daughters.

Speaker 1 Same thing. It's a lot of.

Speaker 2 Cross-pollinating shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, cross-pollinating. That's a good word.
That's the best way to put it. That's the best way to put it.
I'm starting to be diplomatic.

Speaker 1 I mean, this is before Dr. King died or after?

Speaker 1 It's all after. Anything you know about Jesse Jack is probably after.
Because King died in 68. This was

Speaker 1 70 when.

Speaker 1 Shit, just making sense to you.

Speaker 1 He got home

Speaker 1 on that Dr. King shit.
He got up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he stepped his shit up. He got Dr.
King out the way. Now he became the figure.

Speaker 1 So Jesse was doing it. Catch his name out, put Jesse on top.

Speaker 1 Yo, like, you never think about that, Mark? He was dead, son.

Speaker 1 I know you got some theories on that.

Speaker 2 I have definitely thought about that.

Speaker 1 Hopefully down the line you can share with me when he passed away or something, because

Speaker 1 he just be around. Nobody say nothing to that nigga, son.
Who the fuck is he, yo? I mean, he's a big important guy. Shout out to Jesse Jackson.
Shout out to my hero, Jesse Jackson.

Speaker 1 Wade.

Speaker 1 Never mind. Never mind.
He ain't tricking me.

Speaker 1 He ain't tricking me. He on your list?

Speaker 1 Oh, but that's different. That's personal.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 You know him personally? Yeah, Jesse was a mentor.

Speaker 1 The first time I was at Africa was with Jesse Jackson. He took me to Africa.
So

Speaker 1 if you knew anything, you wouldn't kick us back in right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no. I respect that.
No, I'll fall back. But there's nothing to know because he's been perfect except for the public scandals.

Speaker 1 Yep. Hopefully we don't get the

Speaker 1 Jestine Island

Speaker 1 report to come out. Mark might have been.

Speaker 1 Mark might have been on.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. He was the plus one there.

Speaker 1 He might have been on Jesse's boat, nigga.

Speaker 1 No boats, no islands, nothing. I'm good.
Did you go go to Millie Man March? No.

Speaker 1 I did not. I wish I did, but I didn't.
Why didn't you?

Speaker 1 It was a couple of reasons. Part of it was

Speaker 1 Miller. We weren't allowed to go.
Like, it was basketball season. We weren't allowed to go.
And also, it was,

Speaker 1 I had some ideological issues with it. You know what I mean? At the time.
I wish I had gone now, in retrospect.

Speaker 1 I wish I had gone. Back then, you wasn't fucking with it.

Speaker 1 I still had the same issue.

Speaker 1 The issues I have then, I have now, but I would have gone just to be part of history. Okay, so you still ain't fucking with it?

Speaker 1 A million people marching against it. Like, marches are supposed to be

Speaker 1 a thing, right? The march on Washington was the march on Washington for jobs and freedom. You know what I'm saying? In 63.
Like, you march... and protest a system.

Speaker 1 To me, you march against your oppressor. You march against a power structure.
I didn't like the idea of a million black men getting together to march against themselves.

Speaker 1 For me, I thought that there were, I would have marched for structural things, I would have marched for

Speaker 1 systemic things, I would have been fighting for a power structure. I understood Farrakhan's argument, and I don't think he's wrong.
I just would have, I would have organized the march differently.

Speaker 1 Be careful. No,

Speaker 1 I've expressed that to him directly. Oh, and

Speaker 1 no, it's not flash.

Speaker 1 Tell him, man, look at my

Speaker 1 understanding right here.

Speaker 1 Make sure that you clear. Yeah, nah.
Shout out to Farrakhan.

Speaker 1 Shout out to everybody who

Speaker 1 was a part of the Million Man March. You know, Brother Mark.
Oh, God.

Speaker 1 So you would have organized it differently, is what you're saying.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, I would have organized it differently.
But I love the idea of us coming together in a spirit of love and tradition.

Speaker 1 I mean, to get a million people, a million plus on that mall was amazing. That's nice, for real.
It was a beautiful sight. Holy shit.

Speaker 1 I hate y'all.

Speaker 1 We can't never be serious, even though this has been a pretty serious series. Appreciate what

Speaker 1 A lot of this has been

Speaker 1 a bit of a bad thing. This has been a pissboard job of being serious.

Speaker 1 You get serious and hop right out of it. Right.

Speaker 1 Let me tell you, I'm depressed. Let's be depressed, y'all.

Speaker 1 You double dutch with seriousness. Do you have any hope, guys? And then we like, no.
And he's like, this is too fucking depressing. Yeah, then you crack jokes.
Yeah, that's my police.

Speaker 1 Y'all get carried away with the hope of shit. Like, I'm just asking, Jesus.

Speaker 1 Where's the therapist for the crew when you need it?

Speaker 1 Jesus, lighting up.

Speaker 1 Pricks.

Speaker 1 Hey, you're a Knicks fan. Tell me about what's going on with Tracy Morgan, man.

Speaker 1 He had that surfing turf.

Speaker 1 You eat the Garten Blizzards? He had that corned beef and

Speaker 1 corned beef and cabbage, yeah. Let's say Patty's Day.
That nigga threw him on the side of the court. Come on, man.

Speaker 1 On the side of the court.

Speaker 1 Right there.

Speaker 1 Right there.

Speaker 1 Right in the front by the table.

Speaker 1 Tracy Morgan has replied to that already. He says it was food poisoning is the reason that he was throwing up courtside at the Knicks game.

Speaker 1 That's unfortunate. And it's a spooky thing because we know Tracy to have had health issues in the past.
Of course. We don't look at it like somebody just throwing up like a regular person growing up.

Speaker 1 So he says he's all right. Thank God he's all right.
I know he's a staple at these Knicks games. We see him all the time.
Yeah, talk shit too. He made jokes off of that.

Speaker 1 He was like, yeah, they want to know

Speaker 1 when I threw up on the court.

Speaker 1 That's a bad place to get sick. Yeah.
That's the most embarrassing thing that could probably happen. Other than actually shitting on yourself.
It's a great place to get sick, actually.

Speaker 2 Why is it a great place?

Speaker 1 There's physicians on deck. Oh, okay.
Well, I mean, like,

Speaker 1 maybe not courtside, but Mar Hamlin might have gone a different way

Speaker 1 if he were at fucking Lou Boyle.

Speaker 1 You're not rude. He might not have got hit in the chest either, though.
But I get it, though. I get it.
I get it.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. I'd be humiliated.
Would you be humiliated from that? From what?

Speaker 1 The band was projecting buttons.

Speaker 1 That was like that cartoon was growing up. That was like.
That in a video? Yeah. Yeah.
That shit looks like a cartoon.

Speaker 1 I'd be embarrassed. Would you be embarrassed now?

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 I'm thinking to myself right now, every time I've thrown up, I'm like, I know it's coming. So I would have ran.
Not to say that this wasn't like.

Speaker 1 Nah.

Speaker 1 He did it right there. If he ran, it was just a moment.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying, I don't know.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I was about to make a joke and saying forcing yourself to throw up and actually throwing up a different.

Speaker 1 Going to the bathroom to get the hot dog you just ate out. Because I remember that trick.
I see a lot of girls do it. He was going to make that joke.
Yeah, I was going to, but I stopped. Good for you.

Speaker 1 I see the girl.

Speaker 1 Because she's not playing. She's not playing.
I got to throw up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just.

Speaker 1 I don't want to take the horns that big in there.

Speaker 1 Yo, yo,

Speaker 1 don't hit me, nigga. I know.

Speaker 1 Yo, get away. What is wrong with you?

Speaker 1 What are you saying? Mel was doing that shit.

Speaker 1 Mel,

Speaker 1 have you ever forced yourself to throw up before in life?

Speaker 1 Exactly, Mel.

Speaker 2 When I was like 11 or 12, not that.

Speaker 1 We're talking about as an adult.

Speaker 2 No, then, no. No.

Speaker 1 How can I make myself throw a battle?

Speaker 1 Do you not know a lot of women that make themselves throw back?

Speaker 2 You're talking about bulimia. See?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I go. Do you not know anybody that throws it? Get out of there.
Get out of there.

Speaker 2 No, I personally do not know bulimics.

Speaker 2 I personally do not know bulimics.

Speaker 2 But it's something that people hide, so maybe I do, and I just don't know. And they may have told me.

Speaker 1 You hit it.

Speaker 1 I am not bulimic. How many times you went to that bathroom? I'm just thinking, y'all missing it.

Speaker 1 You're stupid. You climbed that toilet and then he told you not to go there.
He didn't throw it up.

Speaker 1 Mel made a knock at the fucking door. I'm so glad I never fucking threw up here.
Mel ain't mashing. All of a sudden, you come up.

Speaker 1 Daisy. I feel relaxed.

Speaker 1 Joe said, Can you please stop using that bathroom? There was not a smell in sight. I said, what the fuck were you doing?

Speaker 1 Yo.

Speaker 1 Yo, y'all. Shout out to Man, man.
I fuck with you, man.

Speaker 1 That shit is real. I heard people throw up at the bathroom.
Oh, no. I've done it to you there, Joe.
You've done it? I've done it too.

Speaker 1 No, nigga, to go finish drinking some more. Uh-oh.
Oh. I've been at the boot rally.

Speaker 1 Wait, Freeze did it too? I'm in the bed. Not here.
I'm talking about

Speaker 1 it. I've had too much to drink and had to throw up so I can get back to drinking.
You're a drunkie.

Speaker 1 Helmet. Helmet the drunk.

Speaker 1 Help me. Wait, wait, wait.
Once I throw up, I'm not drinking no more. Oh, no.
That part. Not for me.
No. Could y'all just shut up for a second?

Speaker 1 Come on, go, come on, Joe. Let me hear it.

Speaker 1 He's in his white boy bag. Let me hear it.
You did that before, like, stuck your finger in your mouth to throw up. No, not even stuck my finger on my mouth.
I know I got to throw up.

Speaker 1 Like, all right, you know what? I'm feeling sick. I can't drink no more.
Just look at the light. What was your little throw-up move? You just,

Speaker 1 I'm feeling it, niggas. It's feeling yucky.

Speaker 1 I gotta go in the bathroom, just throw it up. Feeling yucky inside.

Speaker 1 No, nigga.

Speaker 1 Did you just get a little shot of peppermint schnapps or something back there?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 but

Speaker 1 I've definitely done that, though.

Speaker 1 Get right back to partying. But did you actually, so you actually make yourself throw up? No, I didn't.

Speaker 1 No. It's like when you got to make the shit come out, right?

Speaker 1 What? Squeeze. Push.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Fink up there for a little baby. No.

Speaker 1 No, you and your son be doing this.

Speaker 1 You better put your foot up. You gotta put your foot up.

Speaker 1 You better prop your foot up. Yeah, with the squatty potty.
Squatty potty.

Speaker 1 The squatty potty helps. Nigga.
Oh, careful. This is a white cow.

Speaker 1 We're definitely moving on. We're moving on.
It's over. Holy shit.
Yo, y'all are sick. Bulimic.

Speaker 1 Y'all got problems.

Speaker 1 That's fine, though, to get the amnesia after the bulimia.

Speaker 1 Like, just forget it.

Speaker 1 Come on, I got to sleep. I don't care.

Speaker 1 My shit is queued up already. Go ahead.
I don't give a fuck what y'all talking about. I'm good.

Let's see if there's a

Speaker 1 Joe Button Daly. We swing.
Nah, there's not no Joe Button Delete. Me and Melanie, nigga.
So you think you'll do a Joe Button Daly without Mel? Yes. Without you.

Speaker 1 No, he not.

Speaker 1 All right, but you do know.

Speaker 1 No, no, we aren't.

Speaker 1 I ain't saying it. But it is right there.

Speaker 1 And I got a brain. Nope.
Why he looks so good at food? I don't understand. And then there's that company in Miami.

Speaker 1 Nope. Niggas are so dumb.
Anyway. Nope.

Speaker 1 What else I got here? Hype for

Speaker 1 Snowfall spin-off. They're talking about that snowfall spin-off real quick, real quick.
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. I'm here.
Maybe.

Speaker 1 What else is here? That sexy red

Speaker 1 Bruno song sure went away fast. Real quick.
Thank God. Never heard from that one again.

Speaker 1 I would like to hear before we go from Mark and Mel about this Jonathan Majors. Did he aggress?

Speaker 1 Yo. the aggressed

Speaker 1 leaked call

Speaker 1 where he was is it real is it not that Rolling Stone put this out hey I'm still going to see that movie next week magazine dreams yeah yeah Rolling Stone is usually pretty credible with vetting sources that's what I'll say and there's the audio

Speaker 1 usually and I have no you know I don't I don't know any I don't have any reason to think it's not real but you know who knows she um they released it and he's on audio

Speaker 1 acknowledging that he aggressed. That's the language he used, uh, his former girlfriend.

Speaker 1 Uh, and she said, You, she named like three things you did, like you grabbed me, you choked me, it's like all these things. And he was like, That was all covered.

Speaker 1 Under aggression, aggressive, which is a little bit of a snarky take when you're apologizing for

Speaker 1 being violent to somebody.

Speaker 1 And for a lot of people, that was this, not a smoking question, yeah, but confirmation of what had been, he'd been accused of.

Speaker 1 And a lot of people have been running for him, saying he didn't do anything. He's innocent, he's being framed.
And he sort of

Speaker 1 understated what he did. And this audio kind of changes that.
The timing of it is interesting to me.

Speaker 1 The why of it is interesting.

Speaker 2 Because of the movie that he's kind of and his career is kind of being revived.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 So I wonder if somebody said, look, I have this Trump card

Speaker 1 and I'm going to wait until he's revived again to do it. Because if you dump that all at once, he can then recover from it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I agree with you. Who's rumored to have

Speaker 2 anonymously just put out there?

Speaker 1 That part I don't know.

Speaker 1 I didn't see a source or or a um a uh an uh uh like an allegation of a source so i don't know but i'm genuinely curious about the timing of it but regardless of the timing of it if he did it people have a right to play that card whenever they want so i'm not i'm not defending it but it is interesting to think about the the strategic the strategic nature of maybe the release

Speaker 1 there's some people in hollywood who don't want jonathan majors to win whether you agree with him or not that's true it's been very clear and i've heard this on camera and i've heard this behind the scenes there are people who feel very strongly about him, honestly, in ways that they don't about other actors or producers who have done similar things or worse things.

Speaker 1 So I'm curious to know the why of that.

Speaker 1 And I don't think it's just as being black. I mean, that's part of it.
But I know even black people who have been able to recover from him. So

Speaker 2 do you think that it's part of the rumor that he was extraordinarily difficult to work with? Like that was a pervasive,

Speaker 2 pervasive, pervasive rumor. But I'm always, you know, kind of like skeptical about that, oh, difficulty to work with kind of thing because

Speaker 2 there's other factors that play into it as to why somebody might want to carry on with that narrative.

Speaker 1 And I've seen both. I've seen people who just walk with dignity and have like a commitment to what they want.

Speaker 2 And people process that as audacity.

Speaker 1 Right. But I've also worked with assholes.
I mean, I could tell you, I mean, just a good example is Page One. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Worked with. Nobody appears like that, honestly.
No.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 most everybody here is great, you know, and those who aren't guys still working on them.

Speaker 1 It's really like, I was thinking about like VH1, where like when I would work, particularly on

Speaker 1 certain reality shows, where I could see a lot of the cast was dope, and some people who on camera were called behind, on the camera were called hard to work with.

Speaker 1 Behind the scenes, they really were hard to work with. You can always tell by who the camera people fuck with.
True. Like, when the camera people be like, yo, fuck him.
Yeah. They get the worst thing.

Speaker 1 That's always a very good, I always believe them. Because that's who will get the brunt of the bad behavior.

Speaker 1 And so I don't know if Jonathan Majors is good to work with, easy to work with, or hard to work with, but that narrative is probably connected to somebody feeling strongly about him.

Speaker 1 And that would, that could play into this. So I don't know, but I do know that this timing isn't good for Jonathan Majors.

Speaker 2 But I mean, like, we went through the entire trial process, and he was found guilty, like on a couple of the charges. So, like, related to being the aggressor.
So, it's kind of like, well, what?

Speaker 1 It's all about reminding the public of why they shouldn't like you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well,

Speaker 1 you don't get the fucking thing.

Speaker 2 And the timing is suspicious based on the fact that this movie, Machine Dreams, was everybody, it was like a really big deal at Sundance like a couple of years ago.

Speaker 2 And then everybody, like Sony dropped it, and it was like, okay, it's never going to fucking come out. And now he's had like this resurgence.
And they're like, okay, we're going to put the movie out.

Speaker 2 And now here we are again. Right.
So discussing.

Speaker 1 We'll see what happens. But the good thing is, if the public does not

Speaker 1 care, then it's over. Like, he's able to finally move on.

Speaker 1 And I have this thing hanging behind him because he may have known that audio was there the whole time and be constantly afraid of when it's going to get released.

Speaker 1 And I'm not trying to cape for Jonathan Mage. Again, whatever he did, he should have accountability.

Speaker 1 The scariest part about all of it is that the public could not care about a domestic violence incident against women. Right, exactly.
And that's actually the problem.

Speaker 1 Like, he should be held accountable. He should, he should, whatever.
But it seems to me he has been held accountable.

Speaker 1 Yeah. When y'all do that,

Speaker 1 what's wrong with y'all?

Speaker 1 Us. Why are you you being sarcastic? I'm not.

Speaker 1 That's the scariest part, is that the public could potentially not care about something like that. So it is our job to keep it always at the forefront of things.
Yo, listen, John, the major shit, man.

Speaker 1 It's,

Speaker 1 you know, listen, let that nigga get back what he needs to get back, man, what he was charged with.

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 1 unintentional. What was it again, Mel? Like.

Speaker 1 Willfully obtuse? Mel ain't up with you. It's still up to you.

Speaker 1 She ain't fucking with you in this episode. She fucking with me.
She's cool. That matrix was beyond the limit.
No, but that was to you, nigga, but I'm a chess house. He didn't read it like that.

Speaker 1 It doesn't matter who was to, it's still inappropriate.

Speaker 1 We play inappropriate jokes. Yeah, but

Speaker 1 if somebody lost a parent and had to deal with that, that very thing, I mean, you can see how that would be a trigger point. Understood, but I'm not thinking in real time about math.

Speaker 1 That's what makes it inconsiderate. I am inconsiderate.
I am an inconsiderate person. Yeah, but I said, that's what somebody would do.
And what about you? Okay, let's.

Speaker 2 No, hold on.

Speaker 1 Let me get that in.

Speaker 1 I'm sure I am too. I would apologize, too, but I would understand why somebody would be tight with me.
Yeah, but you still do inconsiderate shit. You inconsiderate to your TM.

Speaker 1 Come on, Mark. Yeah, but that's not right.
So you should understand it and extend grace. Like, flip-by mean that.
Especially by saying,

Speaker 1 it's my fault. Yeah, I thought that was a great apology.
And I didn't double down on it because obviously I know it's sensitive. And I thought that was a great apology, man.

Speaker 1 That was one of the best I ever heard. Seriously, it was.
And fuck you guys. It was sincere.
It was on the heart. It was beautiful.
It's true. You accepted accountability.
That was wonderful.

Speaker 1 You just messed up by saying if, but, you know,

Speaker 1 if if was the fifth, we'd all be drunk.

Speaker 1 Man.

Speaker 1 That was. That was wow.
We ain't closing down.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 What a pod.

Speaker 1 What a pod, you got it. That's what I'm talking about.
It's a high, though.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. Sleepers.

Speaker 1 You got to suck for Michael B. Jordan.
He was just getting cool with him again.

Speaker 1 You got to take the other pictures again.

Speaker 1 just like all right i will work all right we back i will work with him soon soon too more more

Speaker 1 rollers don't drop that oh fuck

Speaker 1 change my number again but it was

Speaker 1 if i'm telling you that i aggressed you don't highlight

Speaker 2 Highlight what is what the aggressor.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was crazy. The action was.
I thought she was right.

Speaker 1 You got to do that shit. When did he have this conversation with her? After the situation?

Speaker 1 It was soon after, but I don't have the exact date or timetable, like how far after. But yeah, I mean, because sometimes saying I aggress allows you to gloss over what you actually did.
Got it.

Speaker 2 Because language matters. Yeah.
So and he's used those words specifically.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and behavior is real important in those incidents. Seriously.
Like, yeah, yeah, true. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 I'm done. And I feel better.

Speaker 1 That's a really bad thing. That's important.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's important.

Speaker 1 You guys are. Happy we can bring a little joy to it.
You guys did it.

Speaker 1 You guys did it. Thank you.

Speaker 1 If nothing else, we made Joe's Day better. That's right.
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 I hate that shit.

Speaker 1 What did they rewrite? rewrite? No, it's just, it's, you know, once that shit happened with the

Speaker 1 battle, and he became,

Speaker 1 they kind of treated cannabis like a joke, like he wasn't ever ill, right? Oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 unfortunately, that's how it goes. Yeah, but him, him, this cannabis, exactly, is a problem.

Speaker 1 If you was there, you knew. You better shut the fuck up.
You knew.

Yeah. They can't rewrite that part.
They wasn't there for it. So yes, they can't.

Speaker 1 That's how they're doing it. No, you can't rewrite it.
But they weren't there.

Speaker 1 Can't rewrite it.

Speaker 1 So, you know what?

Speaker 1 Hold it down. Hold it down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he might have had one of the greatest rookie seasons ever. Oh, for sure.

Speaker 1 Now you really think about it.

Speaker 1 I can't call it. It's going too good to spoil it.
Tell it like it is the role should never be recorded. Too many nights on the end of getting right.

Speaker 1 Alright, we go, we go, we go, we go.
