Indeed.

Speaker 2 Worked out this morning?

Speaker 1 Did you?

Speaker 1 We saw you throwing shots already, huh? Yeah.

Speaker 2 What do you mean? I mean, this is my normal everyday routine.

Speaker 1 Got it.

Speaker 1 And she does the camera pan. I'm on Tamel.
Shade. Nothing has made her happier.

Speaker 1 She's on cloud now. Nothing has made her happier than this moment.

Speaker 2 There is actual footage of you telling me to shut the fuck up, coming here, talking to you guys about your health.

Speaker 2 Six months, eight months, ten months, 12 months.

Speaker 1 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 And talking about actually doing a Pilates class with all of you on camera.

Speaker 1 True.

Speaker 2 Yeah. So,

Speaker 2 yeah. Yeah, it feels really good right now, actually.

Speaker 1 It does. It feels really good.

Speaker 1 How are you feeling? Got to let her get a shit off, bro. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, everybody wanted me to like read comments and stuff. I was like, that's overkill.
And I'm sure they've seen everything as it is.

Speaker 1 But you read them, though. Oh, hell the fucking hell.

Speaker 2 That is the one time that I did read the comments.

Speaker 2 Boy, they did not disagree.

Speaker 1 She earned it. You got to let her get a shit off.
Yeah, but what

Speaker 1 you're getting off.

Speaker 1 Being correct, being right. Yeah, yeah.
We all do it when we have that. See, I told you so.
That moment.

Speaker 1 She told us what? But we were unhealthy? Yes. Yes.
Yes. And niggas didn't want to hear it.
Shut her down. And now we're talking about it.
We told me to shut the fuck up. Yes.
Proven to be unhealthy.

Speaker 1 And look like sacks of shit. Looked like bags of laundry.
I'm sorry, I'm going too far.

Speaker 1 I can get a little bit off. We just still not want to hear none of that shit.
We could still not want to hear that shit. True.

Speaker 1 She could still get it. And we could still say, shut the fuck up.
And just let me speak for me. Since all these niggas tucked and ran.
They were.

Speaker 1 Let me just speak for me.

Speaker 1 Let me just speak for me since I'm the only one here.

Speaker 2 That's wild. The crazy part is that you performed the best

Speaker 1 at the game. I refuse to acknowledge it.

Speaker 2 You know you did.

Speaker 1 You have.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. Yes.
But that's not how I left feeling. That's not how I felt for two weeks.
After I have made major life changes, that is the heaviest that I probably have ever ever been.

Speaker 1 That scale said like 236. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't never be up there. But, dog, my girl come cook for me.
I do the Uber Eats. When she here, I wow out.

Speaker 1 I start bugging big ass omelets, all my favorite meals back to back. My mom cooks for me.
My dad cooks for me. If I don't watch it.
It's easy, bro. If I don't watch it now,

Speaker 1 I'm throwing a few pounds. My girl cook all the time,

Speaker 1 breakfast, lunch, dinner, all the time. And you don't even realize it.
I stepped on the scale and I thought it was broke.

Speaker 1 I've never seen what it said on the scale. And I was like, oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, I didn't talk to the trainer already.

Speaker 1 It must have been hot because you didn't even say the number. No, I'm not saying the number.
Like, I know what you know, you got your normal weight where I'm usually around here.

Speaker 1 And then you're like, okay. You have your moments where I've spiked.
I'm up here a little bit.

Speaker 1 Well, spiked as a guy.

Speaker 2 I'm 10 past the normal spike oh my lord i said what okay nah the problem is you guys wear clothes that are way too comfy and give you a lot of room you know what i'm saying you have to have like a pair of jeans or something like that

Speaker 2 like something from your your normal weight hanging up as a fucking reminder. And then you try to put those fuckers on at least once a month.

Speaker 2 And if you can't button that shit or get it up over your hips and ass, you're wild.

Speaker 2 It's telling you something.

Speaker 1 I still fit my jeans from high school.

Speaker 2 You're the exception to the rule up here, okay? I was 6'5, you got a lot of weight distribution, high metabolism.

Speaker 1 I fit all my jeans too. I ain't gonna hold you.
I fit mine. All of them.

Speaker 1 I still.

Speaker 1 The problem is, life is too comfortable.

Speaker 2 If you make it so,

Speaker 1 God has made it so.

Speaker 1 This is not my doing. It ain't even just a comfort.
I ain't got money. Life is still comfortable.

Speaker 1 You ain't poor. You're doing well.

Speaker 2 You're doing pretty fucking good.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah, I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 Life was too comfortable for a little bit. You got to do nuthead shit.
Like run to a basketball court at 7 o'clock on a Saturday night and really see what the gauge is.

Speaker 1 But I'm glad people are having a blast. If you haven't seen it, it is on Patreon.

Speaker 2 Boy, you are so lucky. All of y'all are lucky you didn't really hurt yourself.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 like in terms of like, well, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's care.

Speaker 2 Like, I love y'all and don't want to see you hurt. You know what I'm saying? So, and that's why I keep stressing Pilates because it's about mobility and y'all don't really have it.

Speaker 1 I've already contacted my own trainer. We will be back in action shortly.
Got to redeem it. Got to redeem it.

Speaker 1 I've called the necessary people. Okay.

Speaker 1 Thank you to.

Speaker 1 I bought a basketball like two years ago, and it's just been in the trunk of my car completely unused. I'm going to change that.
I never want to play basketball again, but I'm going to do it.

Speaker 1 Nah, I think I'm choosing the latter of the two. Either retire or play more.
I'm taking, I'm playing more. There you go.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And spring and summer is right around the corner.

Speaker 1 Exactly. Get a little quick run-in.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 I just got to find the hoops where the kids don't hang out so I don't

Speaker 1 have to play against

Speaker 1 healthy young people. Go to the Y on like senior night or some shit.
There you go.

Speaker 1 Is some of y'all out there badly built attempting the body shame?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I just want to say

Speaker 1 there's some of y'all badly built that are attempting to body shame. I'm letting Mel get it off because she was in a King magazine at one point and a smooth and straight stunting.

Speaker 2 I never did the latter.

Speaker 1 I know, but I still put it on. Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 Rest in peace.

Speaker 1 Rest in peace, Case Lay. In our version, that's in there.
But

Speaker 1 yeah, she can get that off. Some of y'all, listen, I'm going to fluctuate.

Speaker 1 You just caught her flux. Because you caught me at a really bad moment.
After the holidays.

Speaker 1 I'm going, yeah. Happy wait, love.
Yeah, that's it. Pay-per-view, wait, like.
It's cool. Got a little breakup coming, and then get on y'all ass.
That's all.

Speaker 1 Some of y'all is just going to be built like that forever.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. What the fuck is y'all talking about out there? I'm letting y'all have fun, though.
I'm letting y'all have fun. But the second I feel like snapping back, don't get sensitive.

Speaker 1 Oh, all right, now where y'all want to start? Where y'all want to start?

Speaker 1 Did y'all see this

Speaker 1 NYPD cop?

Speaker 1 I sure did.

Speaker 1 That was in the video? God damn right.

Speaker 1 You goddamn right. All right, let's make it sure I wasn't the only one.

Speaker 2 No, you were not the only one. Okay.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 there's a serious talk to be had in that.

Speaker 2 Please tell us.

Speaker 1 Well, people are saying why she can't go bust a move and pop some ass on or off time. I'm people.
Same? Yeah, I'm people.

Speaker 2 I'm people. What is the average salary of a New York City cop?

Speaker 1 They said she makes like a buck 50. She made a buck, yeah.

Speaker 1 She's not doing bad. That's not bad.
She's not doing bad. But she might have a lot of people.
Wait, so all of y'all agree with that? What?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I ain't hurting nothing. Yo, y'all fucking crazy.
What? She's a cop. I'm off work.
Let me go over here and shake this ass. You can't go pop ass while you're off.
And she had ass.

Speaker 1 She should have ass. That's a whole different different topic.
She had some ass. She did have ass.
She had some ass. She's fine, too.
Yeah, come on.

Speaker 1 I understand why money picked her to be in the music video. Good job.
And I already know that vibe. That's one of her exes or old words.

Speaker 1 That's somebody that beat before and said, yo, come do me the solid. Yeah.
And she did it.

Speaker 1 Like all of the fucking Spanish girls with ass that we cool with when we call and say, hey, can you come do this video? They come do the video. They do it.
They do it. They do the video.

Speaker 2 And she might have been living out a dream to be a video victim.

Speaker 1 No, you can't now. Back to y'all.
No, you cannot go pop ass on your off time if you are a detective. They said that she should have just informed

Speaker 1 her employers. Yo, I'm going to go pop this ass? Yeah.
Man, get out of here.

Speaker 1 But the union people sounded like they had her back. They're like, she wasn't wearing no paraphernalia.
She wasn't. advertising.
She can't break her.

Speaker 1 Now, if she had a uniform on, it's a little different.

Speaker 2 Yes, that would have been different. Then they could have had a cause for concern.

Speaker 2 You know, reprimand. Yeah, no.
No, she was just in lingerie.

Speaker 1 Popping ass. Want to hear the slap it off? Shit.

Speaker 1 There was an actual song.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I had it on music.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was just.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I was

Speaker 1 vibing with the music, but let's go.

Speaker 1 Shorty not a track, busty lotta poet.

Speaker 1 All right, all right. Thanks, buddy.

Speaker 1 Thanks a lot, buddy. Never hit the little

Speaker 1 hit the little speaker button on that one. Yeah, no, yeah,

Speaker 1 there we go.

Speaker 1 Once I heard a little bit of the song, I was like,

Speaker 1 I understand why. Was him?

Speaker 1 Nah, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's the issue with the union.

Speaker 1 Respect. Pick a slot.

Speaker 1 We're going to show you that. Yes, like, god damn.
If you're going to debut and you're a detective, man.

Speaker 1 Get in some fire shit. Yeah.
That was my. That's what let me know he beat.
Of course.

Speaker 1 His rapping told me he beat. He might still.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
He beat.

Speaker 1 For sure. You think she did it for free?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 She better not have done it for free. What?

Speaker 1 All this shit. She didn't get paid, Mel.
Huh? She didn't get paid. She did not get paid for that.
I mean... She didn't get paid.
Really?

Speaker 1 You don't think so? No.

Speaker 2 You don't think he threw her like a nice $500?

Speaker 1 No. I mean...
I do.

Speaker 2 I think she got a nice, cool $500 to do that. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 But would you take the... You're making good money with that $500.

Speaker 1 You've done a free video before.

Speaker 1 You've done a free video before. Don't lie.
Don't do that. You've done a video in which you did not get paid.

Speaker 2 Not even my first video.

Speaker 1 Maybe not your first video, but you wanted the videos in your videography.

Speaker 2 You didn't get paid for. No, that is so far from the truth.
Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 Is there anybody that you could have like a great relationship with today? Like, y'all cool.

Speaker 1 What if Amani needs a video fixing? And it's like, y'all, she did say she would do the Amani video. There you go.

Speaker 1 And Amani wasn't paying

Speaker 1 Amani didn't have a budget for that video you was positive

Speaker 1 for the free yeah I'm having second thoughts on that well now yeah now now but you'd have been in there but anyway yeah she definitely had ass

Speaker 1 I do think that some of these jobs come with morals clauses to where your outside behavior can have an impact on your job I would have assumed a policeman to be one of those gigs, but maybe I'm off.

Speaker 1 Well, if there is a

Speaker 2 question that if there is a morality clause, then honestly, all the outside behavior of cops assaulting their wives should be taken into account, but it never is.

Speaker 1 All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 We're going to talk about morality clauses.

Speaker 1 I agree. I'll tell you what, that police union is strong.
I don't think she's going to... I think she'll be all right.
She'll be just fine. She's going to be just fine.
I don't see what the case is.

Speaker 1 Even if you have a morality clause, I didn't do anything. Like, we're going to have to argue that.

Speaker 2 She's okay. She's not getting reprimanded.
She's not, she hasn't been suspended with or without pay. She good and she's got her, you know, so it's just people talking.

Speaker 1 It's just people talking. That's it.

Speaker 2 That's it.

Speaker 1 Or if it's just people talking, then I'm about to book her for a music video.

Speaker 1 I feel like I could freestyle better than that shit that money was doing.

Speaker 1 Pars sent me a beat.

Speaker 1 Call her right on over from the Bronx. Where's she at? Where's she really?

Speaker 1 Yeah, she'll be hop skip and a jump, right? Right there. Right there.
I know she got a car. She makes a buck 50 a year and got ass.
She got something nice. Yeah, she got a car.
She'll get here. Yeah,

Speaker 1 something German. She'll get here like a leader.

Speaker 1 Yo, we are terrible, bro.

Speaker 1 Amber said Kanye booked her for the fake video in her Shannon interview.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's how he got her?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Booked her for the fake vid. Yo,

Speaker 1 not enough talk goes down about how effective the fake vid is. The fake booking, period.
Anything. The fake whole thing.

Speaker 1 It worked. Especially if you're a Kanye West or something.

Speaker 1 I've seen it work. Man.
it just got the cop there. It's worked from niggas like that.
Yeah. It's worked from regular niggas that sit on these couches and talk.
Yeah. I'm telling you.
It works.

Speaker 1 But I thought about trying it before. My G was just so ill in other areas, I didn't need to do it.
But it wasn't off the table. I call bullshit.
I'm pretty sure you use that at some level.

Speaker 1 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 I don't think I got it off. I mean, I'm not trying to act like I'm above it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Maybe I had the plan and it just didn't get executed, but so it was true for a moment.

Speaker 2 It was true for a little bit of time and then it wasn't true anymore.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I always got the girl. I always got the girl I wanted.

Speaker 1 So there was no need to.

Speaker 1 But when it was time to think of a plan, that was not off the table. Yo, I need you for a vid.
Yada, yada, yada, yada.

Speaker 1 Now, you know what the one used to be.

Speaker 1 Call up good old, good old Lady L.

Speaker 1 Yo.

Speaker 1 Book her. Book her.
Book her? Get her the host. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Niggas done caught so many bodies off L, man. That is fucked up.

Speaker 1 Listen. That is fucked up.

Speaker 1 Or not.

Speaker 1 Between me.

Speaker 1 Yep. That was a nice little move back in whatever years those were.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. I'm so glad I changed.
Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 Shout out to growth. Yo, shout shout out to maturity.

Speaker 2 Shout out to love.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I almost told my girl we could switch phones the other day. Oh my God.

Speaker 1 Salute.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it was really the proof of point, though. But she already got your phone, though.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Would you really switch? It's not really a fair trade. It's not at all.
Well, my phone ain't going to ring no way.

Speaker 1 That shit rung last night while I was in a good, middle of a good cuddle. Girl name popped right up with the dash and another girl name.

Speaker 1 Couldn't have been no worse.

Speaker 1 So now the number saved in there. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 What do you do in that moment when you have grown and you're mature and you're faithful? I ain't do nothing because it wasn't nothing. So I go use the bathroom, run around.
Ten minutes later,

Speaker 1 your big dog.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know.
Yeah, it came up again. Oh, it was a double ring? Uh-oh.
No, no, no. I'm playing the talk, Talk, the top ring.
Yeah, nigga, it ain't all.

Speaker 1 You walked off like nothing happened. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I was like, oh, shit, who is this? I don't know who this is. That's crazy.
And that was the end of it for me. Not so much.
No. Nah.

Speaker 1 She's like, uh,

Speaker 1 big dog.

Speaker 1 Back to this, though. Let me holler at you real quick.

Speaker 1 What was that one about?

Speaker 1 I don't know who that is. You able to say?

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 I still don't know who it is. Got bad numbers in this folder.
I don't know who they are. Well, if Michael-Ricardo popped up on my phone, what would you do? I said,

Speaker 1 I would call him.

Speaker 1 Pick it up. I would call him.
Put it out. You didn't answer? You know what? I would call him.

Speaker 1 Even if I'm joking, I'm saying it right now. I would call him.
So if you want to call here, throw it over. Bop.

Speaker 1 Call him.

Speaker 1 She said, you playing with me? I'll find out who it is. She said, I said, how? She said, give me the number.
I gave her the number. She typed that shit in Cash Adam and found out exactly who it was.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. It's four different.

Speaker 1 Yo, she is so much smarter than me. And that's that's bear level.
She is so much smarter than me. That's bear level.
Okay,

Speaker 1 right in cash. Some other jokes.
I didn't figure out who it was.

Speaker 2 Okay, so when you saw the name, did it, did you recall?

Speaker 1 We know who it is now. Okay.
Now we know exactly who it is.

Speaker 1 Thank God.

Speaker 1 Thank God.

Speaker 1 Thank God. Combo don't stop there.

Speaker 1 Did it stop there? Well, it stopped there for me.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 it didn't stop there.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 all right, now you know who it is, okay? Well, why the fuck did she go? Yeah, there we go. But I don't know.

Speaker 1 Because I didn't answer.

Speaker 2 And wait, can I ask what time this was? Because that matters.

Speaker 1 That does matter. If it's like 9.30, it's fine.
He was in the middle of a good cuddle in a good TV show. At what time? Like almost in that time.
It might have been 8.39. Okay, that's not bad.

Speaker 2 If it was 1.30, you wouldn't have a problem.

Speaker 1 It's not the worst. So then I pull up on some of my gaslighting tricks.
Of course you did. Of course you did, yeah.
Because why are you?

Speaker 1 No, before we found out who it was. And now that you know it is, why you assume that it's the worst?

Speaker 1 Why you assume that whatever they calling for is that?

Speaker 1 It's because of the way you responded to it.

Speaker 1 It's because of the way you, you, to them. I didn't respond to it.
Well, look, I didn't answer it. Look, look, look.
To them, when it's who's that? Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 It's like, what you mean you don't know? Now it's like, okay, now you looking a little sketchy, so she thinks you being sketchy

Speaker 1 for that. That's all it is.
My sketchy days are over, Big Freeze. I hear you.
My

Speaker 1 mud too. I believe you.
My sketchy days. I'm just telling you, why she reacted to me?

Speaker 2 But there's still some cleanup that probably just needs to be done that you're not aware of. And then it calls, and you're like, oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Well, no, that wouldn't be the cleanup. That wouldn't be.

Speaker 1 That wouldn't be the cleanup. My phone rang? You crazy? Okay.

Speaker 1 Listen, these days are long gone for me.

Speaker 1 I'm just letting you cook. Go ahead.
Go ahead. You're letting me cook.
This is your day.

Speaker 1 It's your day.

Speaker 2 It's your day. He's been waiting to be tagged in.

Speaker 1 But it's your day.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying a word. You ain't tricking me.
Hey, Big Flip.

Speaker 1 What else is there? I can't get an acknowledgement, bro. You see me over there preparing to come in.
I was trying to tag you. Thank you, man.
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 I gave you the piece, son, like this. The piece was fake, like, yo, nigga, what a

Speaker 1 nigga. It wasn't a piece like I'm happy to see you.
It was like, we didn't think you were coming. This nigga again.

He ain't playing. You see that nigga playing? Get your ass in there.
Linky called me, my wife. You.

Speaker 1 I thought you said that you wasn't coming. I wasn't coming today.

Speaker 1 I took the day working on some things, but I spoke to Ian and I spoke to my family. I just decided to come.

Speaker 1 Welcome. Thank you.
I had to go to the city. I had to set up some things.
I just said, let me come support my team. I just want to be a team player, baby.

Speaker 1 I like that, man. I like that shit, though.

Speaker 1 It's kind of been clip. It's kind of hard out here for you.
So I gotta, you need the support that you could get. You like that?

Speaker 1 Him.

Speaker 1 Nigga, what?

Speaker 1 Wait, some new shit came out? Yeah, this nigga basketball 20 a pop.

Speaker 1 Yeah, oh, yeah. That's why.
That's why he had to do the

Speaker 1 math.

Speaker 1 I did the math. You can't do it.
You can't do that. I respect it.
There was no math for you to do. Hey, I respect it.
You know why I respect it? Because you allow me to do my shit. You don't mind.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 There. There you go.

Speaker 1 Everybody up here is allowed to do this shit.

Speaker 1 Everybody up here is allowed to do this shit. That's true.
That's true. We don't hold nobody to see it.

Speaker 1 Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 You don't hold anybody down. I know what they be saying, but you encourage me.
You don't want to chime in on that part, huh? You don't want to chime in on this little part right here.

Speaker 2 Oh, no. Not at all.

Speaker 1 It's easy, but you got to understand, yo, you don't mind taking the abuse. You don't mind.
He liked that shit. I didn't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 That's why it's easy for us to just let it go. You don't mind.

Speaker 2 I think you're a masochist. Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, good word. I don't know what that means, but that's not.
It basically means you like pain inflicted on you. A button per pun.
You don't care? Joe don't give up. We don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 I don't think exactly.

Speaker 2 Especially when the numbers run up, too. Like, that eases the pain.

Speaker 1 Ain't the numbers supposed to run out? No, they are, but it eases the pain.

Speaker 2 It's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Call me a fat motherfucker.
Get ching-ching, motherfuckers.

Speaker 1 I ain't gonna lie. Oh, yeah, no, y'all fell for that.

Speaker 1 Y'all fell for that, I'm telling you. I'm gonna be skinny in a month, a month and a half.
That's gonna be the end. Yo, nigga, you

Speaker 1 talking about you fucking charged up. You got that money.
I ain't gonna be embarrassed for free. Nigga, you're watching the mast at work, nigga.
I said that. Remember that voice?

Speaker 1 Whatever that shit was, you are a masked at work. You're watching the mastery.
Yes, that's you.

Speaker 1 You are showing them, nigga. Jim came in and said, you got a lot of care.
Niggas started cleaning up.

So they all do. Hold on.

Yeah. We had a good time.
We had a good time. That was fun.

Speaker 1 Southwest flight returns to gate after passenger strips naked.

Speaker 1 Starting to comfortable. Look, all right.
Look,

Speaker 1 I started a wave.

Speaker 1 Look. Designers started away.

Speaker 1 I started the wave. Look, now look at them.

Speaker 1 Everybody running around naked now. Hey, brief.
Listen, you got to start whooping these passengers' ass or something. What class were they in? Well, it's Southwest.

Speaker 2 It was Southwest.

Speaker 1 First come, first serve. Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 2 And it was a really short flight, too. It's from Houston to Phoenix.

Speaker 1 You got to remember, though, male, people feel like if they're going down, they're going down the Blazer Gory. No disrespect.

Speaker 1 If this shit is going to go down with all the flights,

Speaker 1 let me get naked. Nothing, nigga.
No.

Speaker 1 I don't care.

Speaker 1 I don't want to hear that shit. If I got to be somewhere, and now we got to turn around and go back, because you want to be a dumbass thing stripped naked on the floor.

Speaker 1 Well, what if they're sleepwalking? Yeah, no. Sleepwalk your ass in that bathroom.
We're going to lock your ass in there. This flight needs to take off.
Yeah. Stop fucking up people's flights.

Speaker 1 That shit went back to the gate.

Speaker 2 It did go back to the gate. And apparently she was running.
It was a she?

Speaker 1 It was a she.

Speaker 2 And she was running.

Speaker 1 She had ass. Wait, wait, wait.
She had ass? Was she a detective? And she wasn't assets. Wait, hold on.

Speaker 1 That's some in-flight entertainment now.

Speaker 2 It looked like she did have some ass.

Speaker 2 She was running up and down the aisles for a good 25 minutes. Nobody stopped her.

Speaker 1 I bet niggas were ass. Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 We'd have made it rain in that motherfucker.

Speaker 1 Enjoyed the show. Stripping the air.
It's some new shit. Yeah.
See, Bear Pussy get to run up and down the aisle for 20 minutes. Let that have been a dick dangling.
It's over, nigga.

Speaker 1 They would have delivered his ass.

Speaker 1 They would have killed him. They would have tackled him.
His children there. They would have said all that.
They would have threw him out the plane. My child.

Speaker 1 Wade, then there was another plane I want to say a few weeks ago where passengers just started knocking out the window of

Speaker 1 serious. He started knocking out the window of the exit roll.

Speaker 1 Oh, see, now you're in the air? Don't do that. Yes, in the the air.
Oh, yeah. You are a sick individual.
Chill.

Speaker 1 Stop laughing, son. All weekend, I thought about that Patreon that we deleted.
Oh, yeah. My brother Michael.
Don't.

Speaker 1 Don't stop. Don't.
Bam.

Speaker 1 I call Ian.

Speaker 1 I call Ian. I said, yo, Joe.

Speaker 1 Stop, bro. You can't say it.
Yeah, don't. Please don't.

Speaker 1 Just say it real quick. No, you cannot say it.
What did he say?

Speaker 1 Joe, please. What my pillow is.
We was talking about the Netflix doc with Malcolm. That's it.
That's it.

Speaker 1 That's it.

Speaker 1 What a show that'll never come out. That's it.
We're just talking about that. That's a classic episode, Joe.
With Malcolm X. Now he's going to pay-per-view that one.
That nigga Park said, delete it.

Speaker 1 No, he tried to. Joe said, don't delete it.
Parks had to

Speaker 1 press Control Z to get it back. Parks deleted it.
We can't talk about footage that they'll never see. Hey, come on, Joe.

Speaker 1 No. Just say the line.
No. Say that line, but boy, that's it.

Speaker 1 What's Elijah Muhammad said?

Speaker 1 He said, Have you seen?

Speaker 1 He can't help himself. He can't.
He's not helping some.

Speaker 1 You did the voice.

Speaker 1 Joe, you did the voice, too. Yeah, we were moving on.

Speaker 1 We were trying to move on. We are moving on.
Thank you very much, man.

Speaker 1 We conserve life over here.

Speaker 1 Yo, what would y'all do in the event that y'all were on a flight and somebody got up and started bugging or started wilding or started stripping or started behaving belligerently? Do I have singles?

Speaker 1 Do she got ass. And it depends on the ass.
No, you don't have singles on the flight. Well, she had ass.

Speaker 1 No, they never had ass. I'm coming from Houston.
I might have some. There might be some ass on there.
And it might be some ass. I mean, in all reality, you know what we're doing.
I mean,

Speaker 1 some of us are going to be perishing watch, but while others are going to prepare for

Speaker 1 us to go back to the gate, nigga, we're going to be pissed off, cursing. Yo, take this bitch down or take this nigga down.
They be jumping niggas on the plane now.

Speaker 1 Now, passengers are involving themselves in tackling and assaulting people that act like that. You tackling a naked nigga, though?

Speaker 1 Nigga, if what I might just trip him.

Speaker 1 And so

Speaker 1 the question I have is that if we're able to get the person that's acting irate contained, do they still have to turn around? Probably. Yeah.
So they can't put them in a seat and duct tape them.

Speaker 1 I saw they duct tape somebody. They duct taped the nigga one time, but they still, that's just to get back.

Speaker 1 Okay, so no shorter. Yeah, we fucking them up.
You gotta fuck them up. If we gotta turn back around and go to night.
That's what I'm trying to tell you. Whoop his ass.

Speaker 1 We're gonna beat them. Thank you, bro.
I got arrested mad times at the end of the flight. Oh, for real? What? Yes.

Speaker 1 So you got arrested at the end of a flight? It's not arrested because I wasn't arrested. You're taking a little room.
Detained.

Speaker 1 They escort you off the plane. Sir, come on.
The marshals or whatever. What are they called? I'm going to have the

Speaker 1 police at the gate

Speaker 1 when you annoy you. For you.

Speaker 1 You cursed out a flight attendant. Trying to smoke.

Speaker 1 No, that would be disgusting. What did I do? My memory is bad.

Speaker 1 You cursed out a flight attendant. There was one, I think, you were trying to go to the bathroom when they said you couldn't go to the bathroom, and then you just like cursed.
You refused to

Speaker 1 not go to the bathroom? Fell asleep on a passenger. Then there was a one.
I fell asleep on a passenger. But that can't be.

Speaker 1 As I'm saying, that happens. Why would you get detained? No, that's not okay.
You can't fall asleep on the table. You can't fall asleep on the passenger.
I just accidentally fell back on a passenger.

Speaker 1 They got to call a cops for that? Where did this new rule come from? Call me, you're like, no, it's not a new rule. You can't do that.
People allow you to do it all the time.

Speaker 1 Well, sometimes you just get

Speaker 1 wait that they don't

Speaker 1 the cops i gotta get me arrested that seems excessive wake me up my nigga you know yo big dog big dog so he didn't wake you the person you fell asleep on they didn't wake you up

Speaker 1 apparently not they were like excuse me

Speaker 1 black man sleep on me get up then there was a time i was dead set on telling them that this first class seat was mine and it wasn't

Speaker 1 i could see that one it wasn't it wasn't you I used to play a lot of poor games.

Speaker 1 Try to stick in the first class seat. I used to play a lot of poor people.
How long do they hold you when they detain you in that little room? Because there's a room back there.

Speaker 1 I got sent to that room too. There's a room.

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 1 You walk on a plane and sit in the... You didn't have a first-class seat at all.
Not at all.

Speaker 1 You just sat there. I've done that before.
I just saw that happen on my last flight. First-class people got to go in first.
Right.

Speaker 1 So you chill.

Speaker 1 let the plane go, come in kind of when you think all of them are done. And if it's an open seat,

Speaker 1 you sit there. This is before I knew that they had a list

Speaker 1 of your name

Speaker 1 to go with the seat. And some people get the at-the-gate upgrade to first class and they fill those up with that.
Then there's some of that. So sometimes, you know, get up and you leave.

Speaker 1 This one time I just wasn't with that, I guess.

Speaker 1 It's a natural reference. So when when they detain you, what do they do? How long were you in the airport for, Joe? I wasn't in it.
It wasn't never that long. I was never arrested.
Got it, got it.

Speaker 1 I just had something happen

Speaker 1 when I just took a flight last weekend.

Speaker 1 It was a regular United flight. I did not fly first class.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 you know, United got your regular seats. Why didn't you?

Speaker 1 Short flight. Sit them right here.
Save the money. How long was it?

Speaker 1 Two hours? Three. No, two hours.
No, two hours. Two hours.

Speaker 1 Two hours.

Speaker 1 What's the first thing? The short flight is like from here to Boston where it's a little 45-minute shit. It's a first class.
Yeah, two hours. It's a first class.
No, I'm saying they had it.

Speaker 1 I just felt I didn't need it. I needed it for a longer flight after my experience.
But anyway,

Speaker 1 so they have the extended leg row seats that are right near the exit row.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the plus one.

Speaker 1 They were all empty.

Speaker 1 So the three people

Speaker 1 across from me all got up. and just sat in them seats.

Speaker 1 And then I had my daughter, me, and the person that was next to me, he got up and sat across from me. So me and my daughter had the row.
Flight attendant walked up.

Speaker 1 She was like, These seats are all paid for. We're in the air already.
Oh, sure. These seats are all paid for.
You can't sit there. They like, dog, ain't nobody in the seats.

Speaker 1 And she made them get up, made him get up to come back to his seat. They were arguing with her.
I'm just sitting there laughing, like, that's why you sit there. See, I've been on some fun flights

Speaker 1 where just nobody made the flight, and whoever had the mic was cool. So they like, hey, this is all that's on the plane.
Sit wherever you are.

Speaker 1 Don't watch it.

Speaker 1 That's fine. You're gonna lay down on that shit.

Speaker 1 I've been on some of those too. I've been living on that.
Yeah. They tell you that should be killed.
Yo, this is a full flight. This is a full flight that you get on this mad, empty space.

Speaker 1 Why do flight attendants be, no, and all disrespect intended? Why the flight attendants be having attitudes that act like they God sent to earth? Like, you know, they God on earth.

Speaker 1 I don't necessarily know that.

Speaker 1 Lots of gay ones, they cool. But I'm talking about them.
They cool. They already, they've been through a lot.
But what I'm saying is that there's a lot of fight attendants that have nasty attitudes.

Speaker 1 They're not respectful. You say hello, they snotty, some of them, a lot of them.

Speaker 1 I don't like that.

Speaker 1 Not the young ones, people with the BBLs, they cool because they know you're watching them and shit. But the ones that be acting stink, nah.
I don't know. Get a mail.
Rep for your next gig.

Speaker 1 Hey, welcome to Jet Blue. My name is Melissa Savannah Ford, and I'm here to bring you

Speaker 1 the little seatbelt shirt. She's going to do the seatbelt.
Right now, this right here is the air. Oxygen mask.

Speaker 1 So when it forms. Put it on yourself and then

Speaker 1 put it on somebody else.

Speaker 1 We have water, we have chips, we have plantains. Oh, by the way, wait,

Speaker 1 this is cheese.

Speaker 1 She had them talking to herself. I can't believe they have cheese on here while the mic is on.

Speaker 1 She's going to be the stewardess for the privates.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that would be the only time I was ever a stewardess.

Speaker 1 Or playing one

Speaker 1 on like a major TV series or something like that. Oh, okay.
Okay. All right.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, big dog.

Speaker 1 We can't play with you. Stop playing well, yo.
Yo, T-Payne is

Speaker 1 going viral. Listen to this, man.

Speaker 1 Hey, this pod ain't about shit.

Speaker 1 So T-Payne took a regular domestic flight from Vegas to Atlanta or some shit, Atlanta to Vegas, one or the other.

Speaker 1 And the fans was asking him, hey, why the fuck are you flying regular? Economy. Economy.
So then he, no, just regular

Speaker 1 commercial commercial pardon me

Speaker 1 so then he posted how much it costs to fly private round trip from

Speaker 1 Vegas to Atlanta so it's like a buck 20 something right it was like a buck 20 something and he was like yeah that's that's why I do this yeah yeah well I don't know what you say why this is a problem

Speaker 1 well

Speaker 1 It's a problem because then I got to scratching my head.

Speaker 1 T-Pain was making a lot of sense,

Speaker 1 but they was on his ass. But when I sat and thought about,

Speaker 1 oh, because then T-Pain kept saying,

Speaker 1 yo, they think I'm broke. They think I went broke again.
Because I guess he got his big check. Yeah, he sold his catalog.

Speaker 1 He got his big check, sold his catalog. So, but when he kept saying, they think I went broke again, it reminded me that there was a point where people thought T-Pain went broke.
And back in that time,

Speaker 1 T-Pain was popping a lot of big money shit.

Speaker 1 Like, T-Pain was showing off

Speaker 1 vehicles

Speaker 1 and rims. He left for the vehicle.
And houses

Speaker 1 and jewelry. Big ass chains.
When T-Pain was

Speaker 1 bugging. Yeah.
He was bugging. He was showing ass.

Speaker 1 Not like showing ass.

Speaker 1 I'm saying he was showing the fuck out. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, you making sense now.

Speaker 1 Stop, Joe.

Speaker 1 But, that's my man. That's my man, so I'm chilling.
But niggas got to knock it the fuck off. Growth.

Speaker 1 I know, growth and maturity. Yeah, was that the price? Growth and maturity.
Was that the actual price that you paid when you flew private? No,

Speaker 1 he could get a better price than that. Got it.
Yeah. He can get a better price than that.
So he was just being fucking.

Speaker 1 I was going to write that in there, but then I was going to look away.

Speaker 1 So let me mind my fucking business. But he could have got a better price than that.
Yeah, that was a little And then it was high. Nigga got this bag now.

Speaker 1 It's like, all right, I went through some money before. Yeah.
I know what I'm doing. I'm going to be a little frugal.

Speaker 1 Not even just frugal. I'm going to be smarter with my money.
That's all. There's nothing wrong with taking a commercial fund.

Speaker 1 When you go broke, Joe, and you have it come up again, you spend different. You learn different.
Listen different. They learn you.

Speaker 1 Nigga, you lit.

Speaker 1 And then now, nigga, you back in the trap. Like, it hit different.
They get up and think it will never end. Exactly.
Now,

Speaker 1 I'm up here. I'm living.

Speaker 1 Watch your final shot. Nah, you had a good time.
Watch your fucking mouth. Watch your mouth.
You're better than me. And I only do it, baby, twice.
You're not allowed to.

I don't even know how to avoid it. I don't know what Elon got going over there.
I can't. I had to swipe up.
I don't want to see that.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, he's another one.

Speaker 1 He's another one with that Derek Charvin shit. Yeah, he wasn't free.
He's another one with that Derek Charvin shit. Yep.

Speaker 1 Fuck you, Lord.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, that's how I've been on it.
But.

Speaker 2 He's catching heat on Twitter. He is.
About using his kid as a shield.

Speaker 2 That's the reference. So you see how he keeps making public appearances, but he always has his kid on his shoulders.
This is the first time anybody's ever seen him walking around or

Speaker 2 shit, acknowledging a kid. But he's using this kid, and people are like, he's using this kid as a shield.

Speaker 2 He wears a Kevlar vest on his chest, and he always has his kid somewhere around, like on his shoulders.

Speaker 2 So he's protecting his head, using his kid as a shield. That is the consensus from everybody who's watching it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Man, man, man.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 What section of Twitter are you being? Honestly. Is it black Twitter? Because black Twitter, is this.
Do you be in black Twitter? Do you be in the mulatto Twitter? I mean, do you be in white Twitter?

Speaker 1 Do you be in mixed Twitter?

Speaker 1 I get. I rate Twitter.
I get it.

Speaker 2 I rate Twitter. I get him.
I mean, it's angry. It's an angry, angry place.
I don't.

Speaker 1 Can be.

Speaker 2 Yeah, there's porn.

Speaker 2 Could be in it. A lot of Trump ads.
Yes.

Speaker 2 You know, so yeah, it's everything. JB TV community stuff.

Speaker 1 You be online a lot, right? Because I remember at one point in the beginning. Not really.
You avoided going online to avoid from being triggered.

Speaker 2 I'm back there.

Speaker 1 It looked like you online, you navigating, you find yourself

Speaker 1 your team. No.
You be online. You can.
Yo, that whole, I don't be online shit is like when the rappers be like, yo, I don't write, I don't rap. I don't write nothing down.
Yeah, it's like,

Speaker 1 you do, yeah. Yeah, from the dome piece.

Speaker 1 I thought I told y'all I'm not a rapper. That was only true for beans.
That's it. The rest of you niggas, y'all were rappers, yo.

Speaker 1 Niggas do, I think that what it is, is that when you put that out there, I don't read comments or I don't go online, you're trying to say that you're not bothered by anything that is said about you.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. To me, that's how you do it.
No, I'm saying I'm protecting my peace. You can't even do your job if you're not online.
True. Let me, let me,

Speaker 1 and I thought I could, but you can't. No, you can't do this job up.
No, I want to respond to that because I still stand. Somebody hit me yesterday.

Speaker 1 Oh, I thought you don't read comments because I replied to something that somebody in the community said. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I said, I don't read comments. I don't go on the IG pages, Reddit, Patreon, YouTube.
I don't read any of that. Now, I am active on Twitter all the time.
You know, I've been on here forever. Of course.

Speaker 1 The way the algorithm works is it's going, and I'm a member of the community. So if I hit my for you page, it's going to show me a lot of those tweets.

Speaker 1 I see see that and I see anything that I'm tagged in. I agree.
That's not the same as actively reading the comments. Where, like, you used to read, like, you would go into Patreon.

Speaker 1 I would search, I would see

Speaker 1 everything that's said. Joe knows everything that's written anywhere.
He knows when you are clean.

Speaker 1 He knows when you are. Don't play with me, nigga.
I read

Speaker 1 all

Speaker 1 every

Speaker 1 last thing that y'all are saying

Speaker 1 in the rooms, on your feeds, yo on other platforms reddit the all the reddits every one of them now did you know what's nasty about this

Speaker 1 he would watch a person with 14 views youtube oh yes he said y'all watching he can't i watch this guy with 14 views he was making sense but too bad yeah i'm watching

Speaker 1 catch on then i go to my cast pages see what the they on yeah true so yeah that's my that's all that's what when me personally when i say i don't read it that's what i mean i used to lie about it i used to to lie, act like I read everything.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't read that. I used to lie.

Speaker 1 All right, go off of that. Come on, wrap it up with our read the comments.

Speaker 1 Let Mel get her lie off. No, it's the same.
She's not online. She's not online.
No, it's the same as booked and busy.

Speaker 2 I am, though, but it's the same as freeze. I don't actively go into a platform just to read the comments.
It will be like for you page or mentions, and I see it, and I might respond.

Speaker 1 Whoa, whoa, is you guys.

Speaker 1 Oh, God.

Speaker 1 I don't have the affordance.

Speaker 1 It's so tough.

Speaker 1 And on top of that,

Speaker 1 you know, she extra booked and busy. Got a highlight that.
Shit has been jumping. I know.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Your feet went up.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh.
She said, oh, wow. So you couldn't humble yourself and just keep it off the love.
You had to upgrade your feet. Would you?

Speaker 1 Okay, there we go. Maybe.
Right, no. How high did it jump? Good question.
How many X's? That's personal. How many X's?

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 how many times? Who's booked you at the new fee?

Speaker 2 Don't get in my business. Exactly.

Speaker 1 Don't get in my business.

Speaker 1 That's hate. That's nasty hate.
That is super.

Speaker 1 Not the weed company. The new beret.

Speaker 1 The weed company.

Speaker 1 The weed company you've been rocking with?

Speaker 1 They love me and that's hate.

Speaker 1 Always co-co-co.

Speaker 1 Coca-Cola, bookie.

Speaker 1 You ain't gonna be my red ball. Hey, y'all niggas, y'all play around out there.
Let Fat Joe gas. All I'm talking about.
Today's price ain't yesterday's price. And then don't nobody call.

Speaker 1 You better be careful. Don't set your price too high now.
No, but when you get shot out, Joe, wait, hold on. When you get shot out, inquiries happen.
Niggas reach out.

Speaker 1 Especially, I could imagine

Speaker 1 niggas try to latch on to that wave. So if you get shot out for something.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I can see her getting inquiries, but I don't know who's.
All right, so come on. Now that y'all want want to know.
Oh, okay. All right, so now that you want to.

Speaker 1 Because if I'm like, let me just say this. If her shit was 6,000, right? And she went to 30, niggas, girl.

Speaker 1 I just heard that

Speaker 1 you was getting six.

Speaker 1 Yo, what's your problem, man?

Speaker 1 30?

Speaker 1 I go call Buffy or whatever.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 1 No, stop that. Let me ask for the 20 pieces.

Speaker 1 Wait, what?

Speaker 1 Yo. He's crazy.
I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry, man.
Mel, I'm just so happy.

Speaker 1 Mel, let me write this down, this little part, please. Please, God damn.
Mel do shit like that, Joe.

Speaker 1 She would drastically hike the price. This is what I'm asking, y'all.

Speaker 1 Not Mel. I ain't playing hard.

Speaker 1 All right, you get a big shout out. Now your price done.
From whom, though? Depending on. Kendrick.
Stevie fucking wondering. Somebody big.
Stevie wonders. I'm saying somebody big.
It's lit out there.

Speaker 1 Janet Jackson says some shit. Somebody else says some shit.
Got it, got it. Somebody is raising your price.

Speaker 1 Right? Let's put

Speaker 1 the starting price at six. You was making six.
I was making six. You took the jump.
We ain't got to name what the jump is. All right.
It jumped off of that.

Speaker 1 Would you jump out the window, though, with it? Like a jump jump. Wherever you jumped it at.
I don't even care. Okay.
If you took the six to ten or fifteen, wherever you took it to. My question is:

Speaker 1 how long does your price stay there before it comes back down?

Speaker 1 Very good question. Depends on what you got cooking.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 once.

Speaker 1 Wait, how do it depend on what you got cooking? I'm telling you. You had a whole bunch cooking.
The price change didn't depend on what you got cooking. It depended on the shout out.
The shout out.

Speaker 1 So now the shout happened, but it's just

Speaker 1 back there now.

Speaker 1 So how long can you say, I'm telling you,

Speaker 1 when them calls start getting, not the calls, but when you give them that new price and it ain't like, we're going to pass, we're going to pass, and that happened quite a few times in a row, And you're not getting booked for the new price no more.

Speaker 1 And they think, never mind.

Speaker 1 Time to put it on for sale. Got to bring it back down a little bit.
But then,

Speaker 1 but that's sort of like, I don't want to get serious, but then you're the same person that would say that you give them the price that you know you're worth.

Speaker 1 Right? So then, like,

Speaker 1 I was going to say on the flip side of what he's saying, even though I agree with what he's saying,

Speaker 1 being serious now. That's what I'm saying.
There's also times where you may set your price at something that you're not getting from the field at all. Like, you're going to set your price.

Speaker 1 My price is 10. Nobody's paying me 10.
I ain't got 10.

Speaker 1 But I'm standing firm at the 10. Because one, eventually somebody will give me 10.
And two, I just need the word to go around that I'm charging 10.

Speaker 1 Now, also,

Speaker 1 so I'm not getting booked. You have to be able to, able and work.
You better be able to play that game. To sustain

Speaker 1 without getting that 10, though. You have to.
Yeah. You got to be able to.
This is what I want.

Speaker 1 It's shit. You got to hold out.
Yeah. If you're going to hold out, you just got to be able to weather the storm.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think that when the shit happened. That was one of mine in Ian's

Speaker 1 first little sit-downs when he kept telling me to not take my $3,500 brown bag.

Speaker 1 I was like, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 Look, it's a brown bag full of money, and if I do this a couple times, yeah, I need this money. I can't afford to not have this money.
He's like, yeah, but

Speaker 1 then everybody going to keep knowing that

Speaker 1 a $3,500 brown bag, get it done. Yep.
You got to say no. Nigga, why people was saying no for mad long? It was months and months and months.
I was broke as shit. And that's what the real test is.

Speaker 1 We don't talk about the sacrifices and no. That's the real test.

Speaker 1 Everybody can't do that. Nope.
Or some niggas are, all right, you know what? I'm going to hunker down.

Speaker 1 I'm not taking no brown bags. And then niggas got life knocking on the door, kids and all that shit.
All right, you know what? Let me go get it. i know i could go get that

Speaker 1 that's the other thing though if you're saying your price is 10 i'm just throwing numbers out if you're saying your price is 10 and it ain't been it's up to you to go prove why it is yeah gotta justify the work gotta justify yeah you gotta i was mad i was mad at you when you was when i told you i was getting a number and you told me you got it i gotta turn that number down i remember we had something about that you was like Yo, man, we had something big about that.

Speaker 1 And you was like, nigga, I remember that. You got to turn that number down, man.

Speaker 1 you don't have to go chase all the brown bags man i forgot how you put it but you put it in a way that when i went home and thought about it i'm like oh i understand what he's saying but nigga when you in the midst if it's easy to get a quick seven if it's easy to drive to dc and get a quick nine anything easy ain't worth having

Speaker 1 got it i mean easy is is

Speaker 1 relative thank you i heard such a simple quote in something i was watching the other day maybe one of them shows or whatever but it said

Speaker 1 the thing about being great, I mean, part of being great is being great.

Speaker 1 That's the end of the quote.

Speaker 1 Like, you got to be great. So much comes with being great that if you want to be great, then you got to actually be great, which is

Speaker 1 not taking what's easy and sitting right there or taking the drive country to just doing some shit, some shit, bugged out shit that everybody's not signing up to do. What separates you from the pack?

Speaker 1 Now we done got serious. I was just trying to crack on Mel.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We done got serious by mistake. But also,

Speaker 1 real quick, back to Mel, her price is going to remain up because she's on the podcast. She's currently working and she's currently rebuilding the cachet.
So it's going to go up.

Speaker 1 Obviously, she's on here. He shot her out.
Cool. And it's rebuilding the cachet.
Watching it. No, I mean, it's dead, but I'm

Speaker 1 at one point. Mel was dormant.
She admitted it. Like, yo, she was chilling.
She was over there in LA.

Speaker 2 I wouldn't necessarily say

Speaker 1 renting out a studio.

Speaker 1 She rented out a studio.

Speaker 2 It was a dream of mine to have a studio.

Speaker 2 But also.

Speaker 1 He's so dumb. Look at him.

Speaker 1 Do you want us to photo shoots?

Speaker 1 What camera you got? Do you have a red?

Speaker 1 We rent those two. That's hate.

Speaker 1 She was killing it. I researched that shit.
You was killing it over there. You was killing it.

Speaker 1 I'm being funny. You was killing it.
But what I'm saying is that now, Mel,

Speaker 1 your face is out there. Because, Mel, you go, we don't give you enough credit, but you go, you consistently

Speaker 1 I don't know how I be hating because you consistently go viral

Speaker 1 at a constant

Speaker 1 and you be lying that you don't be reading that shit, but you have to be looking at this.

Speaker 2 I told you, sometimes the shit just filters across me.

Speaker 1 God, sometimes you can't not see it. You consistently, so I do feel like in closing, for me, Mel Price will stay at 30,

Speaker 1 even if she's not getting it.

Speaker 1 She's gonna fight for the 30 people. She's gonna try to get out of you.

Speaker 1 Well, shout out to me a look.

Speaker 1 Joe.

Speaker 1 That nigga don't budge. That nigga don't budge.

Speaker 1 That nigga's like a stone. That nigga's looking stone.
That's Scotamar. He don't budge.

Speaker 1 Fuck.

Speaker 1 The only person that makes a move

Speaker 1 is you and E.

Speaker 1 Eric's a call. I gotta talk.

Speaker 1 You are so stupid. Gotta budge.

Speaker 1 Gotta budge. He don't budge.
That is a fact. Imagine if Mel came in the office.

Speaker 1 Stop, man. Shout out on that shit.

Speaker 1 I mean, I already heard about the fucking trade and shit like that.

Speaker 1 What? Did I do it? Huh? Who did the trade that you heard?

Speaker 2 The trades, the trade, the trade conversation.

Speaker 1 Who did a trade that involved you with you? He traded her and Daisy. Words.
Her Daisy T. Michael.
Are you talking for Prime Rory when we did that? Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Well. This still counts.

Speaker 2 This still fucking counts.

Speaker 1 I'm still a little perturbed. You have to put something

Speaker 1 in the trade. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I was the one saying I wouldn't want to do that. But if I had to and was forced.

Speaker 1 I can see Mel now.

Speaker 1 Over there. I went to LA to scout.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't give Mel up so easy.

Speaker 2 You sure did. I got.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Come on now.

Speaker 1 I put mad work in the scouting of Mel. He did.
He did. He did.

Speaker 2 and it worked out and it worked out and it worked out that's all that matters but guess what guess what what it's our favorite part of the show

Speaker 1 wait hold on you got P you get you get PC

Speaker 1 yo Mel was so cute at the end of the other episode so

Speaker 1 the JBP

Speaker 1 that was five that was my buddy Melon's body I'm getting the fuck out of here

Speaker 1 hey yo I was looking on Twitter on our break,

Speaker 1 and a complex sports posted the Joe Button basketball game, Joe Button podcast basketball game was worth the $20 in bold letters. Now,

Speaker 1 to me, I'm just thinking that you're using your own resources, not your own resources, but using your own audience that you built.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 they're paying to see it. But now you got other entities promoting.

Speaker 1 It's a little different, nigga.

Speaker 1 Are we good?

Speaker 1 That water shit you was pulling the other day, I thought you was fucked up. That 350 I had to give you, I thought you was fucked up.
That was all part. You fell for the gaffle.

Speaker 1 That was all part of the plan for somebody. You fell for the gaffle, bro.
And I even called Ian. I said, Ian, is everything all right? And the nigga started laughing.
I bet he.

Speaker 1 He said, everything is good.

Speaker 1 I said, you sure? The nigga, Jordan. Y'all changing waters.

Speaker 1 I swear to God, I swear. Every nigga is great.

Speaker 1 He said, yeah, but he said, buddy, please.

Speaker 1 He tried to make me feel good. If anything was wrong, I would call you and tell you.
Nigga, no, you won't. Because now it's good.
Everything is cool. Patreon is rolling out some really cool features.

Speaker 1 Blue. Hip-hop DX.

Speaker 1 They just doing that off the hum? Who? Them? Oh, you're asking if I pay for the advertising? Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, they just doing that. That's humbug.
That's just on the strip.

Speaker 1 Same thing that happened with that little fight that you orchestrated, how it went off

Speaker 1 with all these different places. How do you say I didn't orchestrate? Same thing that happened with that fight with a staff member that happens to work here.

Speaker 1 My shit. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, shut up, nigga.
That's what I'm saying. But hold on.
I ain't eat from that.

Speaker 1 Flip. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Don't waste our time. It's two pay-per-views.
You talking about your pay-per-view with me and you? Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Your pay-per-view.

Speaker 2 No cheese, though.

Speaker 1 Chives. Thank you, man.
Thank you. Chives, bacon, sour cream.
Hey, yo, real quick,

Speaker 1 real quick, I did see on the internet a woman said that she was in a store with a man. He paid for her food.

Speaker 1 and when she saw the his order he ordered chicken nuggets and she was turned off like enough

Speaker 1 my food selection does not turn you off

Speaker 1 enough of that but it turns someone else off yeah yeah but it come go don't say all that

Speaker 1 can't happen because if a chick sit in front of me orders steak well done i'm turned off yeah that's ridiculous joe yeah why why what does that have why are we judging people based off what they eat a what it just says you lack something like what a lot of something Sophistication.

Speaker 1 If you're eating a well-done steak, we don't have much to talk about.

Speaker 1 You skipped some steps. Yeah.
Like

Speaker 1 our conversation.

Speaker 2 Your palate is basic.

Speaker 1 There's some rooms

Speaker 1 you're banned from. One of them is.
So what if you go to my house? What if you go into the big rooms and ask them to make the steak well-done? You're not going to get no rooms.

Speaker 1 You won't get in those rooms. In the right spots, they won't even allow you to pick the tip of the truth.

Speaker 2 They'll look at you funny.

Speaker 1 No, they don't allow it. It's cooked at this because this is our specialty.
And he's right about that. You can't fuss over that.

Speaker 1 You don't want to eat it this way. You don't come here.
That's like when I asked for a fork in the real sushi places.

Speaker 1 You still do that, Joe? Well, no, now I eat it with my hands.

Speaker 1 Joe, learn how to use chopsticks, man. They told me that eating with your hands is acceptable if you don't know how to use chopsticks.
But learn how to use chopsticks.

Speaker 1 You could put a little rubber band.

Speaker 1 My thumb fell off when I was a kid. What are you talking about? Learn how to use chopsticks.
It's easy. Just put the little rubber band on the top.
I don't know how to use chopsticks.

Speaker 1 It's never going to work. So, man, I could barely hold a pin.
Okay. Man,

Speaker 1 you're judging a man for eating chicken nuggets on the date?

Speaker 2 I mean, if we're like in a movie theater and there's chicken nuggets.

Speaker 1 No, we talking about at a restaurant. Oh, yes.
You're not getting date number two? What the fuck?

Speaker 1 But everything, but he checks all your other boxes, though. You guys are not.
He wouldn't.

Speaker 2 The guy who ordered chicken nuggets at, say, like, oh, I don't know, the Hunt and Fish Club, he does not check.

Speaker 1 He ordered chicken tenders there.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 If we're at the fucking Hunt and Fish Club,

Speaker 1 you just

Speaker 1 alright, my fault.

Speaker 2 We're here for a reason. We are here for top-shelf shit.
And you order chicken fucking nuggets?

Speaker 1 They could be top shelf chicken.

Speaker 2 Priced on a cracker?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 There is no such thing.

Speaker 1 That's white shit right there. We are cursed on a cracker.
Definitely. It's also a racist problem.
That is extremely. That's double

Speaker 1 price on a cracker. That's a double whammy.
That's Switzerland popping out again.

Speaker 1 It's cool.

Speaker 1 Okay, prize picks.

Speaker 1 Give me LeBron for more than 24. I'm taking both.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 You like Pistons Warriors?

Speaker 1 Yeah, because Steph has been on the rampage. So I'll take Steph for more than 23.

Speaker 1 Okay, let me give you one more.

Speaker 1 I'm cool with that. Good shit.
Good shit. I think I've been winning some people some cash, too, on the low.

Speaker 1 Not wrong winning no cash, nigga. No, not it at all.
Summer around the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 I've been on a little run. I won't get my flowers, but

Speaker 1 it's cool. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 If you download Prize Picks right this second and use promo code JBP, you get $50 instantly after you play your first $5 lineup.

Speaker 1 I repeat, if you download Prize Picks in your phone right this second and use promo code JBP, you get $50 instantly after you play your first $5 lineup.

Speaker 1 So good luck to all participants out there and run your game.

Speaker 1 All right, we back. I'm conflicted.
Oh, sorry.

Speaker 1 What's wrong? The Braun and Stephen A. Smith stuff.

Speaker 1 I'm conflicted, and I want to just say why. Go ahead.
I'm not into sports. Because

Speaker 2 he addressed it, but go on.

Speaker 1 I'm not into sports, but this came on my timeline. And me as a father, I understand how LeBron feel.

Speaker 1 But on the other hand, I understand what Stephen A is saying is that if you know your son is not doing good on the team and you're the leader of this team, you shouldn't be that sensitive if you're allowing,

Speaker 1 I don't want to say, if you're allowing him to play. Of course, he said that we know you didn't tell the coach to put him in or whatever, whatever Stephen said.

Speaker 1 But I do understand what Stephen is saying. Like if your son is out there and

Speaker 1 for some reason, your influence got him on the team and he's able to play.

Speaker 1 He's up for scrutiny. He's up for ridicule.
And to approach Stephen A. Smith and say, yo, leave my son out of it, I can't see Stephen A.

Speaker 1 saying anything bad about Bronnie besides that he's not doing good and showing his average. I really feel that that's unfair.

Speaker 1 And it shows me that no matter how high you get there, no matter how high or successful you get on the ladder, there's still comments that may bother you and trigger you. So I'm in the middle of that.

Speaker 1 I'm dead in the middle because I wouldn't want nobody talking about my son, but I do understand what he's saying. Sometimes your son, you need to hear that.

Speaker 1 Okay, where does everybody else stand in the LeBron versus Stephen A debate? Does anybody know what happened at the Knicks-Laker game, Nick's Lakers game the other night?

Speaker 1 LeBron came over to him after the game. Looked like he had a heated conversation with him.

Speaker 1 And he stepped off. Some of the mouth readers out there said that it looked like that conversation was about Bronny.

Speaker 1 Stephen A. then went on first take and addressed it.

Speaker 1 He said he didn't plan on addressing it, but the situation had gone so viral that he has no choice. He woke up to all these texts from executives and coworkers and his peers.

Speaker 1 I don't know that I agree with that, by the way. He wanted to address it.

Speaker 1 I don't know that you have to reply to something because it's so viral.

Speaker 1 And if people are of that belief, I think that should be re-examined.

Speaker 2 Well, this is what he said. He said he can't repeat the words because they're not suited for FCC airwaves.

Speaker 2 But he said that

Speaker 2 he wasn't going to address it, but everything went viral. That wasn't the basketball player confronting me.
That was a parent, that was a father.

Speaker 2 And I can't sit here and be angry or feel slighted by LeBron James in any way in that regard. He clearly took exception to some of the things that he heard me say, and he confronted me about it.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 basically, he said,

Speaker 2 LeBron's agent has his number and can call him if he wants to.

Speaker 1 I'm on the side of Stephen A in this one. Me too.
Just because

Speaker 1 my job is to talk about athletes or sports,

Speaker 1 and it just so happens that your child is participating.

Speaker 1 I'm just doing my job.

Speaker 1 I'm going to talk about him. If he's doing good, we're going to talk about him.

Speaker 1 This is what happens. You used your name, you used your star power to get him here.
And to a lot of people, he's not meeting that. He's not delivering.
Meeting the standards, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's not meeting the standards. So, yeah, he's going to, a lot of scrutiny is going to come with that.

Speaker 1 LeBron caught scrutiny first year in the league just because of the name King James and all of the hype around him when there's hype around something and it doesn't live up to the hype people gonna talk

Speaker 1 so now you've used your name to get your son here

Speaker 1 yeah people people were already against that move so now if you if it's up if your son proves everybody wrong

Speaker 1 we don't have this conversation but unfortunately he's proven a lot of people right so they're gonna point out Hey, we told y'all about him. They're going to talk about him.

Speaker 1 He's an athlete in the NBA. We talk about athletes.
All right. I hate to find myself on the exact opposite side of this.
I'm on LeBron's side. I'm on LeBron's side with this.

Speaker 2 Why? Do you think that Stephen A takes the opportunity to be extra critical because it's LeBron's son?

Speaker 1 I think all of the people that, let me not say all, I think a lot of the people that are critical of Bronnie James,

Speaker 1 it's A, because of their relationship with his dad, or B, because it's a ratings chase.

Speaker 1 Bronnie James, like everybody, if we at the card table, let's see everybody's hand for real. I don't want to hear that he's a player.
I criticize players, so it's fair game. That's not true.

Speaker 1 There's not been another 56 pick in the draft that's been covered this way. I see.
That's been critiqued this way. He ain't played enough to be critiqued.
He's critiqued when he's not in the games.

Speaker 1 I understand what you're saying. And you're doing that because of ratings.
The same way the NBA aired for the first time ever the second day of the draft because of ratings.

Speaker 1 The only people

Speaker 1 who should be up to evaluate Bronnie James' game is A, his dad, B, the organization that drafted him.

Speaker 1 I don't want to hear about LeBron using his strings to get him drafted because Bronnie James, from what we've seen, is doing better than some of the people that were drafted after him.

Speaker 1 Well, all the people that were drafted after him and some of the people that were drafted before him.

Speaker 1 So there are great basketball minds that are watching this kid and banking on some of the greatest genes in the world and one of the greatest teachers and players ever helping to develop this guy into an official NBA player.

Speaker 1 I don't want to hear, y'all are attacking him because of ratings.

Speaker 1 They're attacking.

Speaker 1 Stephen A don't fuck with LeBron. He said that in his response.
He continued to say, me and him don't necessarily see eye to eye on a few things. Got it.
And it's been that way for some years.

Speaker 1 So if it's been that way for years.

Speaker 1 I got it.

Speaker 1 I know that you do your job as it pertains to me.

Speaker 1 I'm one of the people that I've been faced with scrutiny long before my first NBA game.

Speaker 1 I've been probably the most scrutinized player in the history of the sport since early high school when my games was on ESPN2 and all the rappers was coming out. I invented this thing.

Speaker 1 That don't have to have nothing to do with my son. LeBron didn't do nothing that any other dad in the world wouldn't do for his kids.
I agree with that. I agree with that part.
I agree with that part.

Speaker 1 100%. So if I'm doing what I'm supposed to do as a dad,

Speaker 1 And you would do it too because you're a dad. Everybody's a dad.
100%.

Speaker 1 It's not for you to come and hide behind the guise of your job to use and manipulate my son's son's role to just attack certain things when it's not fair

Speaker 1 it's not fair i think it's fair to criticize uh uh bronnie if you're doing the same scrutiny to other players in the g league or whatever developmental situation he's playing under which they're not but he's doing both right and brian they're not

Speaker 1 He doing whatever his team is asking him to do.

Speaker 1 Do you not think that

Speaker 1 say, okay, so I see what you're saying. That's how

Speaker 1 when Mark and Ish was on that shit months ago,

Speaker 1 I stand on the side of you shouldn't critique someone's child in a certain way. See, we never saw a dad and his son in the league at the same time.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 We've seen players, kids, but not with a dad active. See, I think you can critique the kids,

Speaker 1 but I think that it should be fair. Like, it goes even to

Speaker 1 what Chuck was saying about ESPN without saying it was about ESPN. I don't know if you saw that last night.

Speaker 1 He went on a little rant about how they cover nothing but the Lakers and the Warriors when there's the Cavs and

Speaker 1 OKC doing great, and they don't ever cover them, which I agree. That's been my criticism of ESPN for a minute, at least in terms of NFL.
Like, we're talking about the Patriots and the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 Who gives a fuck? They're not.

Speaker 1 Hey, listen. So I think that same thing can be applied here.
Like, if he's not relevant or playing in a relevant role, it's why we cover it. This is still business.
That's why we're covering it.

Speaker 1 Hold on. In a world where niggas is getting fired left and right,

Speaker 1 ratings be down in these places. This person losing a show, this person losing a show.
We have to do what we got to do to keep these eyes on us to do our jobs. So it is talking about the Lakers.

Speaker 1 It is talking about the Cowboys for them.

Speaker 1 Whoever they're bored, that works for them. You got your son on the Lakers.
You are the face. You are him in the NBA.

Speaker 1 We're going to talk about him. See, I even

Speaker 1 recap on that. You have been the number one rated morning show for 13 years.

Speaker 1 You are essentially the face of this network. If there's anybody that will be allowed to go off a script or change what the script is, it's you.

Speaker 1 So if you coming into work, dog, if we come into work, 10 pods in a row and I'm beating the topic down to the point that why are we even talking about this? I do expect somebody to say, hey, dog,

Speaker 1 enough.

Speaker 1 Enough now. I got you.
So when they have their pre-production meetings, because on TV you have meetings, and LeBron know what time it is, like I know what time it is.

Speaker 1 Y'all are talking about the hot topics, the things that drive ratings. You've done your research, there's analytics.
So we're going to give you, same thing Charles Barkley said.

Speaker 1 Who's the goat, LeBron or Jordan? They're going to give you Lakers talk, Dallas Cowboys talk, no matter what's going on in the sport. Right.
Some people say that's a large,

Speaker 1 some people say that's a large part of why the sports commentary is dwindling down the drain. I think that's the problem.
I think that Stephen A.

Speaker 1 in particular is compelling and talented enough to make great storylines about anything else.

Speaker 1 He's great.

Speaker 1 He's one of the goat to this shit. But

Speaker 1 he knows what works. Yeah, it's low-hanging fruit.

Speaker 1 It's low-hanging fruit. It's just like what you just said.
If you came in here 10 piles in a row talking about something,

Speaker 1 Drake do something, we get an uptick. Why? Because they want to see you talk about Drake.
It's the same thing. They want to see Stephen A.
They want to see Skip hate on LeBron.

Speaker 1 They want to see these people who have built their brands. I absolutely want that.
I absolutely love your example. And you know the history of Drake in this podcast.
We wouldn't speak about his child.

Speaker 1 His child is doing songs. Great example.
His child is doing songs. Kanye's child is doing songs.
We would not get on air and critique a fucking kid's song that way.

Speaker 1 Well, you're talking about that's just totally different.

Speaker 1 What's the difference? Those are toddlers versus adults.

Speaker 1 I think the same rules apply. If you talk about somebody's kid, you're talking about somebody kids.
But you're only saying

Speaker 1 the kid is with the father. You're seeing them together.
Because everybody is somebody's child, if you want to technically speak.

Speaker 1 We all somebody's child. So you're saying that they're both playing on the team and you're actually seeing a father and a son play together.

Speaker 1 So it's different because you're seeing he have to be a father, not only a father, a coach and a mentor at the the same time. Yes, if everybody's father was standing next to you, I got you.

Speaker 1 I agree with you. Whatever you would say to me, you might not say it if my dad was standing right next to you.
No, I would not.

Speaker 1 I think the parallel in your example would be is if we definitely talk about Drake a lot here, but it's when things are in the news. It would be if we came in here, rain, sleet, snips, whatever,

Speaker 1 and talked about Drake when it's not relevant or Kendrick or whoever, fill in the blank, Kanye West, whoever. So when LeBron says to him, leave my son out the shit.

Speaker 1 So LeBron is aware that, yo, I know you don't fuck with me. I know you go out your way to talk about me, but don't bring my son into it.
Basically. Yeah.
Got it. So I'm going to

Speaker 1 leave my son out of our beef. Yeah, I'm on your side with him.

Speaker 1 You are covering my child in a manner to which you and I know why you're doing it. Got it.
The last time that I reached out, because this has been going on for some months.

Speaker 1 The last time that I told Rich Paul and them to reach out to you and speak to you about it, you went on air and said that that was pussy or that was corny or whatever the word was that he used at the time.

Speaker 1 So now when he does this address and says, LeBron has my number, Rich Paul has my number, Dallas has

Speaker 1 fucking

Speaker 1 Dallas Maverick, Dallas Cardinal. Maverick Cardinal Maverick Carter

Speaker 1 has my number.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay, no, dog. Stephen A is from Queens.
Yes. You know on-site rules.

Speaker 1 You know on site rules.

Speaker 1 You know on-site rules. I didn't want to reach out to you.
We tried that a few months ago. It didn't work.
You went back on air saying whatever you said that you got a problem with.

Speaker 1 They haven't been specific about that, so I won't try to pretend. But I've seen enough clips to where it's like, that's harsh for somebody's kid.

Speaker 1 So if I felt like that watching, he's going to feel like that watching. It ain't phone time, homie.

Speaker 1 So you want to see me. When I see you at the game, I'm going to say something to you.
You have to remember, Joe, that you are from the soil.

Speaker 1 People that's not from the, I'm not talking about Steven A. You're from the soil, so your principles and morals lie different.

Speaker 1 And I'm not taking anything from you neither, Freeze. I'm just saying, like, some people that experience that, that give grace when they see a parent with their kid,

Speaker 1 we come from a different background when it comes to that. A lot of people don't have those same sentiments.
It's all fair and games. If your mom is there,

Speaker 1 if I see somebody and their mom is there and I have an issue, I'm not saying

Speaker 1 you get in the path. I'm not even going to talk to you.
I'm even going to say hello. I don't play like that because I believe in that and I would want that same grace.
Some niggas don't care.

Speaker 1 Where I come from, this is on page one of the

Speaker 1 learning handbook. You don't talk about nobody kids.
I don't care what's going on. It could be big stories going on.
Fucking, I ain't never, Remy Kidd. Right.
Big stories.

Speaker 1 I never came here and said a word. You know how many kids

Speaker 1 we know they parents out there. I don't come in here and that's not my bad.

Speaker 1 And I hope that would be reciprocated. I agree.
Like, don't talk about mine in a certain way.

Speaker 1 You look at it from a more of a

Speaker 1 perspective. Yeah, because I don't believe in talking about nobody kids either.
I'm with y'all.

Speaker 1 With Bronny James in particular,

Speaker 1 this is still a professional athlete playing in this league. It's not just we talking about you as Britney.

Speaker 1 It's a dude

Speaker 1 type of player.

Speaker 1 15th Rick Browns. Jalen Brunson is Rick Brunson's son.

Speaker 1 Don't raid and chase off my kids. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 It's niggas.

Speaker 1 Steph Curry is Del Curry's son. Do you not take into account? Del Curry ain't really been in the game since the divorce.
And when Devin

Speaker 1 Dengio said some shit to Jalen Brunson, Rick Brunson stepped up and said, Yo, who the fuck are you talking to? Watch your mouth. You better walk over there.

Speaker 1 Like, you don't treat somebody kid that way with their dance standing right there. No, again, I'm not mad at Braun's approach.
I'm just saying in the Whosovas.

Speaker 1 And there's a bunch of other people doing his job. Back to Charles Barkley's point.
Dog, y'all ain't covered.

Speaker 1 We got two teams that's 50 and 10.

Speaker 1 And markets. 50 and 11.
And no disrespect, in markets that don't nobody give a fuck about outside of the markets. And that's their

Speaker 1 stop it. What do we stop it?

Speaker 1 I'm talking about from a media standpoint, bro. We know LA, New York, we know the A markets.
Cleveland and OKC are not A markets.

Speaker 1 So them talking about them doing this well, how many times we seen the finals and it was when it was Milwaukee versus, who was it, Phoenix or something?

Speaker 1 And we was like, this is not the finals the league wants. Why? Because these are not the markets that we play to.
We want to see New York. We want to see LA.
We want to see Miami.

Speaker 1 We want to see these major cities. So we're going to talk about them with a major fan base.

Speaker 1 I'm going to ask him a question, Joe. Please.

Speaker 1 Freeze, let me ask you a question. What's up? As

Speaker 1 do you look at a star, a celeb,

Speaker 1 do you look at them as that person and don't take account them being a parent, them being a father, them being a son, a daughter. Do you, do you just take that away?

Speaker 1 Because you, because you, as a parent, you're very, when it comes to your daughter, I don't play. So you should understand that same sentiment.
But I understand that.

Speaker 1 But you're giving a caveat by saying that, yo, but Bronnie is out there, so he is subjected to be ridiculed. And I was on that same side when I listened to Stephen A's excuse.

Speaker 1 I said, well, okay, but I didn't know what Joe just explained to me. I didn't know that he pulls things out the air to talk.
I didn't know it was an old man. I'm not mad.
Like,

Speaker 1 if you got a beef with me and you're using my kid now in your beef with me, that's fucked up. I'm not with that at all.

Speaker 1 I think Bronny's open to criticism, but I think it should be fair in terms of his importance to the team in the sport.

Speaker 1 I think picking on him because he's Bronze kid as opposed to covering him like you would any other 15th man or G League player or 56th pick or whatever is where it's I agree.

Speaker 1 We laugh at,

Speaker 1 and this is not his child, but I'm just, this is a relative. We laugh at Greek Freak's brother in the league, and he's 15th man on the bench, but it's a joke.

Speaker 1 We don't harp on him like they have a break. No, no, no, no.
But

Speaker 1 his name ain't that. But I'm just saying,

Speaker 1 it's a joke making about the 15th man in the league because of your relation to somebody else. If his last name was something different and he wasn't, nobody would give a fuck.
Facts.

Speaker 1 It's the same thing with Bron, but again, this is the mega star Bron we're talking about who he, the name alone brings in ratings. So now they're putting a spotlight on your kid.

Speaker 1 See, but that's kind of the point, too. I love all these examples you're using.
Why are you looking at it like that?

Speaker 1 Sorry, go ahead, bro. The NASA's caught a lot of jokes.
We understand where the jokes came from, so we don't have to get into that.

Speaker 1 When he was away from the team, the Bucs slid and lost 19 or 21 or something stupid. I'm freestyling right now, but they were losing.

Speaker 1 He came back, they started winning.

Speaker 1 Then the conversation was, oh shit, that guy we were joking on, his impact to the team, what he does to Greek Freak, and how he coaches on the sideline clearly plays a part in their winning.

Speaker 1 Not a story in sight about it. That's the fucking point.
When Bronny go out there and do something that is...

Speaker 1 Well, when he, when the G League, he had that little week where he did

Speaker 1 23, 28, 30. Not a word.
Mom's the word about that.

Speaker 1 So if we play in the Raidens game, well, we know how

Speaker 1 that works.

Speaker 1 That's everything. So now, if I'm a dad,

Speaker 1 I'm stepping to all business, yo. You got me, I'm not.
Especially if I'm LeBron. But now, my only business.
I'm the most powerful player in the league still.

Speaker 1 No, y'all can't just say what y'all want to say about the James family. Cool, I'm with you.

Speaker 1 Now, my only thing with that,

Speaker 1 I don't only want to see you do it to Stephen A. Smith now.

Speaker 1 If that's your approach, you got to keep that energy Because it ain't been just him that's been on your son like that.

Speaker 1 There's others out there who would be a little bit more aggressive if you approached them. Are they at the Laker game?

Speaker 1 They weren't at that game. Because, like Stephen A said in his response, it's not that he just talks about the games, he covers the games.
He's at the game.

Speaker 1 He's at Lakers versus Knicks on the sideline. These other niggas might not be here.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Hey, as soon as this fourth quarter whistle finishes, I'm coming over there. I'm walking over there.
When the Lakers, I was at the Laker Knicks game when they came to New York.

Speaker 1 That building was packed in a way where, oh, this is different from the other games. It's a lot more media.
It's a lot more tourists. It's a lot more people.
It's a lot more children.

Speaker 1 It's a lot more reporters. It's a lot of people.

Speaker 1 It's a lot more celebrities. Hey, and that's my point about why they're not covering OKC and Cleveland.
Laker Knicks, both of them doing good.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of shit here.

Speaker 1 We don't care about these small market teams like that, bro. I don't want to get into small market teams.
But goes, no disrespect, Mark. Please, I didn't.
But that's the, it's real.

Speaker 1 I'm on LeBron's side. Okay.
This one. Watch your mouth about my kid.

Speaker 1 Good shit. Yo.
All right.

Speaker 1 What happened?

Speaker 1 Got some Poland Springs up in this piece. Joe, what's this? Poland Springs are good water.
It's good water spring.

Speaker 1 Can I get another water, please?

Speaker 1 Poland Spring ain't bad, man. That's not a bunch of Poland Springs.
Straight from Maine, yo. It ain't bad right there.

Speaker 1 You've gotten bougie. For real, for real.
You have gotten bougie. That's crazy, man.
He spoiled us up here. He ain't spoiled us.
I bought three cases of Aquapana from my studio.

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 2 So, why didn't you bring a couple with you?

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 We started talking about bringing our own water. Fuck, Ish has them all marked in the fridge.

Speaker 1 I bought mine from home. No, those are not Ish.

Speaker 1 That's tap water. What Ish's name was.
Ian did that. Ian did that.
That's his little prank.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 Don't tell me you drank one of those.

Speaker 2 I did not, no, because it had Ish's name on it. I'm just trying to get it.

Speaker 1 Tap water. It's not poison.

Speaker 1 Tap water's not good. Only up here do they start acting like tap water is like, oh, I'm going to die.

Speaker 1 Tap water's not going to be bad. We come from drinking tap water, yo.
Yeah. You don't drink tap water, nigga.

Speaker 1 No, but we come from drinking tap water. You know, the funny shit? If I had to drink it, y'all drink ice water? You put ice cubes in the ice cubes in your water? Yeah.
That's tap.

Speaker 1 No, that's no, that's tap.

Speaker 1 A lot of people don't even get a fucking ice cube. He's so bougie, he puts a bottle of water.
I knew a brother personally.

Speaker 1 Maybe I haven't reached bougie status.

Speaker 1 Whatever's that, that's where I'm at.

Speaker 1 You're going to get the trade, put the aquapon out to freeze. Please add a brita.
A brita, yeah, do a brita, or whatever the bottom of the bottle. Oh, yeah, I don't devote.
Okay,

Speaker 1 that's the only capable. Somebody else get literally.
Oh, my God. Yo, y'all, y'all.
Why y'all stand here that old last part and let me call Andrew Cuomo Mario Cuomo?

Speaker 1 I don't know none of this. I'm losing it, son.
Yo, this entire pod, stand there and let me call

Speaker 1 Andrew Cuomo Mario Cuomo.

Speaker 1 You said it was a moment. That's how old I am.
We're so indoctrinated with the Cuomo family, it didn't even register, really.

Speaker 1 You look at one Cuomo to another Cuomo. That was his pops.

Speaker 1 That's how old I am.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about these niggas' dads.

Speaker 1 And Andrew Cuomo's probably older than you.

Speaker 2 Much.

Speaker 1 Andrew Cuomo is older than me. Yeah.
He's like in his. But why am I talking about Mario Cuomo, yo?

Speaker 1 Just when we were 12, that was the middle. When he left office.

Speaker 1 y'all don't give a fuck about me.

Speaker 1 Come on, nigga.

Speaker 1 Y'all just let me get bullshit. I'll let you catch it.

Speaker 1 It's cool. Don't worry about it, man.
Don't worry about it. Go to NPR for your political fans.

Speaker 1 We got fact-checking, name-checking, none of that.

Speaker 1 Mark should have caught you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I blame Mark for that one. Go on.

Speaker 2 I feel like it was towards the end of the day.

Speaker 1 Yo, they on Mark's ass about that game. They on y'all niggas ass, man.

Speaker 2 We talked a little bit about it before you got here.

Speaker 1 Do you have anything to add? No, No, I'm not going to add nothing.

Speaker 1 I've been pocket watching. That's all I can say.

Speaker 1 That's weird. It is.

Speaker 1 It is. Pocket watching? It is.
We got a text from Ish

Speaker 1 that says, yo, I just got in.

Speaker 1 Do you need me to come?

Speaker 1 Yo, yeah.

Speaker 2 He sounds like a dinosaur.

Speaker 1 Why did he tweet this?

Speaker 1 It sounds like a rich person asking about what the poorest do. That's it.

Speaker 2 It sounds really privileged and really fucking antiquated. He sounds like a dinosaur right there, not really understanding why.

Speaker 1 Jermaine Dupree knows better than this. He does.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 free beats.

Speaker 1 And he wasn't looking to sell it to him. Yeah, and he wasn't trying to sell to him.

Speaker 2 He might be priced out of that conversation.

Speaker 1 Ah, I see what you did there. Nice little combat for him.
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 You good. You good, girl.
You being an independent artist, you know, did you feel a way about this when you were in the? If you was an independent artist still, would you have felt a way about this?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't have felt a way about it. And independents operate under a different mindset than the major label niggas.
And I don't try to interlap. I don't try to put a two-to-half crossover.

Speaker 1 There's different horses for different corners.

Speaker 1 It's totally different games. Me, when I decided to go independent, I realized that I would do better selling to my 50,000 fans than trying to fit into this system.

Speaker 1 where much too much was in the world. Do you feel like Tech Non made it look good, Joe? Because back then...

Speaker 1 No, Tech Non made it look good. There's a lot of independent.

Speaker 1 talked about, but they highlighted him like when it came to being independent because he was more, he wasn't just an independent artist. Was I'm saying wasn't like he's not still active.

Speaker 1 He is out to tech. Shout out to Tech Non.
Tech was a one-stop shop. Is a one-stop shop.
You talk about I'm doing my own merch. I'm routing my own tours.
I'm doing like my own music. I do it all.

Speaker 1 It's all in-house.

Speaker 1 He's an anomaly to a lot of, that's not just your typical independent act right there. Okay.
So that's why he highlighted

Speaker 1 and still managed to sell. Yeah.
Sold and sells records. And a rap a lot of you niggas under the table.
Yeah, an amazing rapper. And his live show was putting niggas to bed.
Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And was going to do sellout tours anywhere that he went and was going to stay on the road for 300 days out of 300,

Speaker 1 maybe more than that out of 365 days.

Speaker 1 And was going to have his fucking Maybach traveling on the back of all of these merch trucks because we got to bring trucks for all of this merch we're going to sell.

Speaker 1 Like, we're going to make eight figures moving around out here as an independent act. Shout out to Tech.
Shout out to Strange Music. Shout out to the whole thing over there.

Speaker 1 So that's why he did that, though. He's doing that.
Yeah, but I think it's just different.

Speaker 1 I think for like a pop artist, if you want to be the next Drake or Michael Jackson or Britney Spears or Dua Leap, whoever,

Speaker 1 the major label system makes sense.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a pop artist, a major label system probably makes sense for because you're not going to get that kind of marketing exposure.

Speaker 1 True, you don't have all the relationships with MTV, not that they matter anymore, but whatever fill-in-the-blank outlet about playlisting and all of that shit. All of that shit.

Speaker 1 Like, you need that shit for SNL, you know what I mean? All the late night shows. You need that shit.

Speaker 1 What I see start to happen is, especially in rap, it's a lot of the newer rappers, they don't want that. Right.
They realize, hey,

Speaker 1 what I have to give up to get all of that ain't really worth it.

Speaker 1 I can make a really great living over here. Every musician and artist doesn't necessarily want to be the most famous person in the world.
That's not necessarily an overlap.

Speaker 1 Some people are like, if I get a little famous, that's cool, but I would like to make a living making music or art or whatever.

Speaker 1 And I don't want to be part of that rap race.

Speaker 1 At one point, that confused me that that mindset, right? Like

Speaker 1 I want to make music, I want people to hear it, but I don't want to be famous.

Speaker 1 Then you're making music at a high quality level and distributing it out there in order to become that's going to lead you to be famous.

Speaker 1 So those type of your goals can change along the way though due to exposure. Okay, true.
And this could be your passion.

Speaker 1 At one point, I didn't. Because I didn't agree with that.
When people say they're antisocial, like some of the artists, antisocial. There's a lot of them.
Man, there's a lot.

Speaker 1 They are so passionate about their art and their craft that they still want to do that. They would prefer to just be,

Speaker 1 you don't have to see me. I don't want to talk to you niggas.
You want to talk to me? Go listen to my album. You want my thoughts? Go listen to my project.
There's my thoughts.

Speaker 1 And there's a lot of them out there that just don't want to deal with folks. And people are weird.
I don't want to deal with people anyway.

Speaker 1 I went through it. I mean, I did it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is actually who you. Yeah,

Speaker 1 when they talk about you, when they talk about the trouble that you gave, how stubborn you were, and stuff like you didn't want to do nothing when they didn't tell me it should be funny.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that story is always told about me, how I was just rebellious and yada, yada, yada early in my career. But when I first got in the game, that story is never told.
I was just young,

Speaker 1 wet behind the ears, willing to do anything that I needed to do to thrive and sell, not a question asked. So what behind the ears a little uncontroversial.
Wait, wait, wait. Joe, so

Speaker 1 do you feel like you might have had a little white behind your ear, a little bit of a little bit for later, a little white for later? Jersey City.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's what you're saying.

Speaker 1 Do you feel like, so, so when you are, when you initially there, you meet niggas and then you start.

Speaker 1 So, when you're initially there, and again, this is, I'm talking about 25 years ago at this point. So, we

Speaker 1 maybe aged out. But, so if I'm doing everything that's asked of me, which is

Speaker 1 they're putting you in places to be famous. Yes.

Speaker 1 You're not famous yet, but they're putting you in places to be famous. Oh, shit.
So I go to Nordstrom's yesterday. I go to Nordstrom's yesterday.

Speaker 1 Turns out one of the guys, the older gentleman that works in Nordstroms, used to work at Def Jam.

Speaker 1 So every time he catches me in there, and I don't be in Nordstrom's a lot, but when he catches me in there, he always got some story for me. So yesterday I'm buying some drawers.

Speaker 1 Let me get some drawers up in this bitch. He sees me.
He says, yo, funny story.

Speaker 1 I was just thinking the other day about how when I used to work, was working radio 25 years ago, and Benny Pugh was at Def Jam.

Speaker 1 And Def Jam was sending all these records out. So they had sent me a Rihanna record, and they sent me a Joe Button record.
So we was about to get on the Rihanna record, but Benny Pugh called.

Speaker 1 And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that Rihanna shit, eh, eh, put it to the side. We don't know about that.

Speaker 1 That Joe Button, we lead you on that that boy is a star i was like oh shout out to benny pugh like i never knew that but

Speaker 1 like that's what it took to kind of be famous when you wasn't famous so i'm not famous so they're sending me places you don't want to be there and then you get famous And now there's a crowd everywhere you go.

Speaker 1 You need to be handled a certain way when you go. Because you're famous, you got to pop up at everywhere where famous people be at.

Speaker 1 It's just, I learned early on I want nothing to do with the fame part of this that wasn't my bad I read that that's not what I signed up for

Speaker 1 I read that different when you first started talking I thought that initially when you said it that yo I was willing to do whatever I needed to do and then I started to realize that things wasn't so fair favorable in my favor Like people might have, I'm not saying that I niggas, but people might have been taking advantage of me.

Speaker 1 People might have been doing stuff or putting me in positions that made me uncomfortable or make me realize that they they weren't in it for me.

Speaker 1 And I can see that changing somebody's attitude towards being famous. Like, yo, this is too much of a headache.
Niggas not even give me what I really need or what I'm owed.

Speaker 1 You know, the work that I'm putting in, it's not.

Speaker 1 I remember when niggas,

Speaker 1 and shout out, niggas may get mad at me, but I remember when you first came out, niggas was driving more of an expensive car than you was.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I mean, that's part of the game. It is, but I didn't like that shit.
But see, that's the other shit. That's all part of

Speaker 1 Me thinking that now,

Speaker 1 I hear you, but

Speaker 1 I don't like that shit. I don't.
I feel like the artist,

Speaker 1 I don't like that. I don't get it.
The nigga that found the talent is probably going to make more than the talent for showing you a rookie deal. Yeah.
Nah, I don't like that.

Speaker 1 It should be distributed evenly. That's just what it is.
And back, look, back to JD's tweet. That's the other reason why a lot of niggas are wanting to choose independence today.

Speaker 1 They know these stories.

Speaker 1 Right. Like, you know what I'm saying? I've heard what happened.
Like Joe said, I was wet behind the ears. I did whatever they wanted me to do.
And you sign a deal that really ain't in your favor.

Speaker 1 You don't find that shit out until later on.

Speaker 1 How long did you find out that your deal was bad? Like, when did you find out from when you signed it that, oh, shit, I'm getting fucked up? If I signed in 01,

Speaker 1 shit was bad by 05.

Speaker 1 So you four years later when you said, oh, shit, I'm fucked up in this deal. But I ain't even talking about the bad deal part of it.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about once you sign it and you down to play the game, some of the positions that you'll be in. And I wasn't with it.
Like, they was

Speaker 1 telling me to go to clubs, stand on tables, bring 70 niggas. The label is how I got some of my street drama back in the day.
Forcing me to, yo, go be with 50 niggas everywhere you go. Why?

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 Now I got to go beef with these niggas. Yo, go, go, let's have a fake relationship with you.
Who do they say? Neil Long. Optics.

Speaker 1 Yo, how do you want me to tell my girlfriend that I'm doing a fake relationship with Neil? I don't want to do none of this theatric shit that you want.

Speaker 1 The other thing, too, is that the way the music business is now, labels aren't even signing you until you're successful independently. You already made yourself hot.

Speaker 1 And now I'm hot and doing this already. I built this infrastructure.
I built this fan base. I'm making money.
Why am I even going to bring home?

Speaker 1 Because it's tricky.

Speaker 1 Even if you do want the major label deal, you should go get hot. You should go act like an independent.
Because the trick now is they tell you there's a ceiling as an independent.

Speaker 1 And there may be, but what they don't tell you is you could live fine. Right.
It might be a nice ceiling. It's a really nice ceiling.

Speaker 1 They don't make you think, like, yo, you're going to hit this ceiling. You can never make more.
And you need us to get to the next level. I don't got to go to that level.
Right. I might be cool.

Speaker 1 I'm good right here. Yeah.
And I own all my shit. So I could do some new technology come out later on.
I can go make a deal over here that changed my entire generation, my entire lineage's life.

Speaker 1 I don't think anyone does it for the art anymore, though. That's not true.
No, that's not true. That's not true.
That's not true. Well, I'm not hearing it.

Speaker 2 Dochi, great example of somebody who does it for the art and produces.

Speaker 1 Most independent artists are doing it for the art.

Speaker 1 Okay. A lot of them.

Speaker 1 A lot. A majority.

Speaker 1 Kendrick Hole's side of that battle was preaching the art. The art side.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 There are people that do it for the art. But then look what it turned into.

Speaker 1 While doing it for the art. Look what it turned into.

Speaker 1 Well, if he didn't take it there,

Speaker 1 I think it remained pretty artistic all the way through. For him, for him.
But then look,

Speaker 1 the waters can get muddy. Sure.
You know what I mean? And it can sort of make the art look different. Art don't necessarily got to be rosy.
True, true. Yeah, listen, there's six million ways to die.

Speaker 1 Choose. Choose one.
But everybody's story is not going to be the same. Everybody's path not going to be the same.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's for you ain't going to be for me. There's a whole bunch of different ways to do this.
You go sit by yourself or with your team and figure out the best way for you. What aligns with you?

Speaker 1 What won't feel out of pocket for you? What won't have you losing sleep at night? What won't have you getting fucked? What are you comfortable with?

Speaker 1 Who are you? First question, find out who you are. What are you? What are you cool with? What are you comfortable with? Let's go from there.
This may be a problem. I'll ask you later.

Speaker 1 Don't ask me, Shulen.

Speaker 1 Because I don't want to ask you anything too personal. Because I hear how you talk about things when you.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Did the industry, were you.

Speaker 1 Did you always suffer from depression when you were younger? Or did the industry be okay?

Speaker 1 All right, so you answered my question. Yes.
I was going to say, did the industry lead you to depression? No, no, no, no, no. I came in with mine.
You came in with depression. You drafted up

Speaker 1 full, fully loaded clips of depression.

Speaker 2 They can exacerbate it.

Speaker 1 It wasn't cool to be depressed. And I don't think

Speaker 1 that's a good thing. I don't think, yeah, there weren't audiences for that.

Speaker 1 And the media want to hit that. And people didn't know how to handle

Speaker 1 kids going through that. Got it.
But

Speaker 1 they maybe made it worse. That's it.

Speaker 1 You were just too early.

Speaker 1 But you came in with depression. Yeah, I came in with you.
Never mind, buddy. You was definitely too.

Speaker 1 Fully loaded. I was strapped in.
My final thought on this, too, is the way these labels are shrinking now.

Speaker 1 It's a scarier proposition to be there now than it's ever been. Facts.
That's true. They're firing everybody.
That means you're getting less of the services that he's talking about in the tweet.

Speaker 2 You might get shelved completely. Yeah.
And then your hands are bound and you can't put shit out unless the label says so. True.

Speaker 1 Yeah. True.

Speaker 1 Nasty. Nasty.

Speaker 1 And today is to a point, like Parks was just saying, the labels might have to prove to the young, hot, up-and-coming artists what they can do. Right.
Mm-hmm. What can you do for me?

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's clear that he didn't hear Chappelle Roan's speech when she won the Grammy. Like, she laid it out as a young artist, you know, being shelved at a major and then dropped during pandemic.

Speaker 2 Like she laid it out. So

Speaker 1 yeah, everybody's not cool with getting the smallest fraction of a penny. Right.

Speaker 1 That's really it. Which is less than a penny because that's what a stream is.
The smallest fraction of a fraction of a penny. Yeah, a fraction of a penny.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 Yeah, everybody don't sign up for that math. Nope.
15% of 0.00001 cents per stream. I got it.

Speaker 1 At least let me get my 0.001.

Speaker 1 Can't even go sell out the trunk no more, god damn it.

Speaker 1 Some niggas can. Yeah,

Speaker 1 some niggas sell out the trunk now. Yeah, a lot of people sell a lot of vinyls and CDs and merch, so they do that shit out the trunk still.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's tough. One of them niggas caught me slipping the other day.
I bought it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Was it depression? Was it depression? Just on something.

Speaker 1 I remember where you were. I was eight at one point.
I got it.

Speaker 1 I'm never listening to this, but

Speaker 1 I just paid five?

Speaker 1 Was it a CD?

Speaker 1 It was a CD?

Speaker 1 It was like a little dump drive or something. Well, actually,

Speaker 1 the story I was just talking about, it was a sweatsuit. Oh, okay.
Okay. But then as I was talking, I remembered that I did buy the CD of my man and Issei the other day.

Speaker 1 He was like, yo, I got an album that just came out. It's one of the best albums ever.
And if you listen to it, I promise you'll want to talk about it. I was like, all right, what's your name, man?

Speaker 1 I'll get it. I'll buy it.
And I bought it. I didn't hear it yet, so I can't comment on it.
But yeah, I bought it.

Speaker 1 If they catch me in a a good mood,

Speaker 1 I'll get $9.99. Yeah, I'll still bought it.
Well, $49.99 for the sweats, whatever it was.

Speaker 1 But if you just catch me on moving, yeah, no, I'm moving. Oh, yeah.
Sorry. Sorry, buddy.
Sorry, buddy. Maybe next time.
I buy a lot of shit at shows. You know,

Speaker 1 the opener act, if they fire. If they fire

Speaker 1 by your CD, buy a t-shirt. I'm going to go get this shirt for sure.
I'm definitely getting merch. And if you got yourself.
Yeah, I've been trying to act. Let's stop there.
I'm going to cop them.

Speaker 1 Being up here made me act like that. I was trying to get as much free shit as I can, nigga.

Speaker 1 You want to give me shit? Y'all give it to me. Salute.
And then being up here with y'all niggas, watch how y'all support it. It kind of changed my view.

Speaker 1 Like when I went to these division, you know, let me buy some shit.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, damn, this shit priced. I still, I still, I still was, I still purchased, but I still had complaints.
If you give me free shit, I wasn't trying to buy shit.

Speaker 1 Nah, not really. Like, it depends on.
Your promotion and how supportive you are. Like, some niggas be having a sob story.
Yo,

Speaker 1 you my inspiration. Yo, this is all I got.
I got a two-year-old at home and four-hour baby mama. It's like, nigga, what? Nigga's story be so compelling.
Nigga, sweating, hands is sweating.

Speaker 1 That's when I get out my extra stone face. That don't work on me.
Stone face them down. Nigga, they got a couple of videos of you in the mall stone facing.
Nah, that's tough when someone sob

Speaker 1 stories you, and then the shit be trash.

Speaker 1 He'd be trying to really come up, and it's like, oh, I'll support, I'll support. They go, you're like,

Speaker 1 Joe stone face a nigga at the mall, and the nigga used the footage and put it out.

Speaker 1 He trying to talk to Joe about something. Joe had the long coat.
Joe turned around and says,

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Joe got his headphones in. I'm pulling out all the tricks to try and get you to not talk to me, buddy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that doesn't work.

Speaker 1 It don't.

Speaker 1 It don't. Man,

Speaker 1 I'll power walk by you now. I know my body don't look like it, but

Speaker 1 yeah, I hit him with a little power walk now.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. All All right.
What else is important?

Speaker 1 All right, we got brand new Tori Lanes. Brand new Tory Lane.

His calisthenics. He's looking good.

Speaker 1 From what I've heard, I liked it. I had the privilege of of hearing some of it early.
I haven't gone through this entire album, but from what I've heard, I like it a lot.

Speaker 1 Now, y'all know RB Torre is my bag.

Speaker 1 There's a little bit of that on here, but this is predominantly rap. Yes.

Speaker 1 But I'm a Tory fan, so good to hear him.

Speaker 1 He's been one of the ones to do the jail album in a palatable way for me. Yes.
I know a lot of people bring up shine. I wasn't on that wagon

Speaker 1 when y'all was pushing it. That was rough.
Yeah, yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 Max had some rough ones, but then they got better.

Speaker 1 But George got some good shit out on here. The production,

Speaker 1 how he is combining records, sounds from one record, start the next record. You know, I like all of that shit.

You'll never get it.

Speaker 1 Anyway, Tory shit is fire from what I hear. It is, yes.
When I hear it in full, I'll do a deeper dive. But from what I hear, smoked it.
Smoked it. He on there talking, man.

Speaker 1 He's talking his shit on there. I don't care about the song where he's talking about, hey, they robbed me, Rock Nation and the lawyer and this.
That's hard, but I'm over to him and Meg shit.

Speaker 1 I'm done with that. Same? I'm done with that.
Yeah, shining too much light on it. Yeah, I'm cool.

Speaker 1 At this point, it's time for both parties to just deliver the music. Do what.
That's easier said than done when we ain't the ones sitting up. If I'm him, I'm sitting up, and I believe that.

Speaker 1 I'm going to tell y'all every chance I get. Understood.
He's still maintaining his innocence. Be clear,

Speaker 1 that's cool. He's still appealing and all of that.
Like, yeah, I'm gonna keep doing it. We want to hear the slaps, dog.

Speaker 1 We want to hear the slaps. We don't need to hear.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Hey, yo, I now got when you said that Iman had to fight that guy, yo. My wife came to me and said, Yo, call Tiana.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Tiana, fucking Tiana Taylor. What's that done? And Musafa.
Mufasa, man. Mufasa, Aaron, Pierre, Emmin, Pierre.
That's Bufasa.

Speaker 1 Stop.

Speaker 1 What's your DM to him said?

Speaker 1 Shut up. Hey, I read.

Speaker 2 I did not DM him.

Speaker 1 Hey, P.M.

Speaker 2 No, I fucking did.

Speaker 1 You don't initiate DM combos.

Speaker 1 That's not true. Shit.

Speaker 1 You acknowledge

Speaker 1 that you did, man. Stop.
She DMs first. I don't remember.
It's okay. I met on DM first.
No, but I feel like I did. Not now, after she got the shout-out, but she did before.

Speaker 1 That shout-out just put her on a...

Speaker 1 That shout-out said it to Captain Planet nigga. She changed from from Rita from to Captain Planet.
She'd be in purse there too.

Speaker 1 Hey, I want

Speaker 2 Okay, we were talking

Speaker 1 this

Speaker 1 listen to me. I do bullshit.
And we don't dogpoll on you. Yes, we do.
You know how crazy it is, Mel, to say, yo, I don't follow that nigga. I'm good,

Speaker 1 loyal to the soil. And as soon as she went to,

Speaker 1 those are my words. Loyal to the soil, let's be facetious, but

Speaker 1 you said, I don't follow, I'm good, and I'm a team rider. When you went past that curtain, it pierced your soul, too.
You'd be bringing that shit up.

Speaker 1 That shit penetrated. And when she went through that curtain, Joe,

Speaker 1 Mel turned on. Mel is a grown woman, she can do what he wants.

Speaker 1 I'm down with a motion. Can you police her behavior outside of work? We was just talking about that with the police detective girl.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's three that talk to the ops. Three people that talk to the ops? Or three.

Speaker 1 I talk to three ops because three ops is a lot. Then I need to get fired.

It ain't three people up here that talk to ops, of course.

Speaker 1 That is cultural. That's me.

Speaker 1 Wait, people have to know that they're your ops. There you go.
Good. I was about to say that.
We got to know that you got ops.

Speaker 1 I know of one op she got. Me too.
No, I know two ops you got.

Speaker 1 People got to be clear of your op list

Speaker 1 Not me, nigga. No, not you.
But I got it, man.

Speaker 1 I caught her. Yeah, I did the science.
I missed it. Anyway,

Speaker 1 Tiana Taylor soft-launched her relationship with Aaron Pierre, or at least that's what the internet thinks. So I came in and wrote on the board that Amon Shumper got a slide.

Speaker 1 And I kind of got mad at you.

Speaker 1 My flip got mad at me because, yo, that's my man, but that's my man, too.

Speaker 1 And,

Speaker 1 you know, prideful men take the angle that you don't care what your child, what your kid's mother is doing out there. I typically agree with that.

Speaker 1 Let me see.

Speaker 1 I just think that there are asterisks

Speaker 1 and cats.

Speaker 1 I love Tiana.

Speaker 1 Don't soft-launch your next relationship like that. Don't be a little bit more.

Speaker 2 Abbeyon Jay's gold party.

Speaker 1 Just don't be like, that was a photo. That's too much.
That shit was clean.

Speaker 1 That was clean. You can see the nigga.
That's what I'm saying. That was a hard launch.
I didn't like it. But like Mel told me, I got to deficit.

Speaker 1 She said, defend Tiana one time. You know what I mean? And I'm proud.
Friend of the show. That's our girl.
I love her. I text her.
You

Speaker 1 know, dick riding. Click riding.
Yeah, of course I did. She left me on red.
Yeah. Big goals out.
She didn't talk to you no more. Not with people.
Now? Yeah. You was halling Tiana's friend.

Speaker 1 You ain't new Tiana? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Tiana starring in a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tiana.

And it was that rumor that Leonardo DiCaprio was going crazy when

Speaker 1 he seen that chocolate milk. I mean, her body is

Speaker 1 fucking rich. Beautiful, respectful, cool, down to earth.

Fight back, Sean. No, Sendaya.

Speaker 1 She's engaged. And how old is she? Yeah, I'm like, no.

Speaker 2 I want to say like 27, 28. She's engaged to Tom Holland.

Speaker 1 Engaged to Spider-Man. Yeah, Spider-Man, yeah.
While we're on these messy topics, I just want to go through a quick little rant.

Speaker 1 I've changed my thinking on that little young girl that keeps talking about future every other day.

Speaker 1 I think that this is a rollout.

Speaker 1 You seen, he got an album coming. I know he got an album coming.

Speaker 1 Comment. I don't know why I can't talk today.
I know he got an album coming. But Future's cooler than this.

Speaker 1 Future would not pick the young girl that's going to run her mouth. spread all the business.

Speaker 1 And then when she made the phone call and he answered on the first ring, it's like, I don't believe believe he's moved like that in real life.

Speaker 1 We done seen future move around in real life too long for me to believe he got caught up like that. I don't believe it.

Speaker 1 I think that that's rollout and they getting ready for an album and it just is shit to make us say, oh my God, it's

Speaker 1 a future.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. Yeah, no, I'm not rolling with it.
I don't believe it. But

Speaker 1 I don't think you got to do that, especially after the year he just had last year.

Speaker 1 Something else you do when you got to do it. I don't think he has to do anything.
That's the only reason why I didn't call this rollout. Like after the year he had.

Speaker 1 How do we know that future is not matured past the music that we're used to hearing from him we don't know no know why we don't know because you get to keep doing like this yeah yeah

Speaker 1 we just got three albums last year and it

Speaker 1 yeah but when i heard that first album the first one was the rap one right i heard that i was like yeah i ain't gonna lie man

Speaker 1 future might be maturing and he came out with the rb album i was like oh come on shoot that to

Speaker 1 I just don't know how mature future looks. I don't believe that little story is all I'm saying, number one.
Number two, I know both Yandy and Mendici, so I don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 1 But boy, have I been laughing at this Yandy clip forever? So, Yandy got a clip on Love and Hip Hop with some woman is coming up to her and showing her, Yo, my niece, my um

Speaker 1 my niece, your husband was DMing my niece. I don't talk about this because I know both of them, but this is just too funny.
Uh, your husband was DMing my niece.

Speaker 1 She look, look, look, and he showed, she showed Yandy the DMs, and Yandy says, Girl, that's me,

Speaker 1 that's me me sending those DMs. That's how you do.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she's lying, but you hold it down in front of the person.

Speaker 1 Get behind closed doors, and then we deal with that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, D.C.

Speaker 1 360.

Speaker 1 Nigga trying to get out. For years.
That was funny.

Speaker 1 For years. That was funny.
I'm sorry. I'm not talking about it because I love both of them.
But sometimes you got to see shit and be like, okay. That's the same shit they were saying before

Speaker 1 Rashida and Kirk. Like, nigga been dying to lead.

Speaker 1 Oh, Lord, yo. I gotta watch that.
I gotta get back into that. No, that's fucking.
I have to get back into that. Girl, that's me, that's in them D.

Speaker 1 True.

Speaker 1 That was me. That was me.
Dead. That was me.
Nah, that's you making, but now you make him.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 but when it is you, if that's you. I don't think it was her.

Speaker 1 I think her saying that is, you're not getting that rise out of me. That was me.
Ah, what you thought you had, it ain't work. Now I'm going to go home and me and him go have a talk.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I do like a girl that take the egg on her face. I'm going to hold this shit down.
That's rider move right there. Something more with you.

Speaker 1 Dude, what's a rider music?

Speaker 1 Yo, I love a rider,

Speaker 1 But part of me, Yandy been a love of hip-hop gangster for so long. I don't even know if that's real.
I don't know if they're playing around.

Speaker 1 I don't know. But I just know that clip was funny.
Then the internet found the niece, the supposed niece.

Speaker 1 Like, you get your shit off of me. Like, you could talk about it.
I could talk about what? Like, I like how you got it, because I feel the same way you feel, but I just fuck with them.

That's his shit.

Speaker 1 He writes the top. He's right topics right on the board.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. I'm a lot on you.

Speaker 1 Hey, as soon as I shut up, that shit went right away.

Speaker 1 I'm a, yo, something's wrong with me.

Speaker 1 Yo, I apologize for whatever I need to apologize for that I've said over the last 10 years of this broadcast. Sometimes I bugged out.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at Joe like, I even brought up, I said, remember, we was on tour, he was on tour with them niggas.

Speaker 1 Shut up, get out. What are you doing? Sorry.

Speaker 1 We hashed the whole shit.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. I love flip, yo.

If you don't do it, Brother Flip. If you instigate me, I'm going to do it.

Speaker 1 He said that.

Speaker 1 No. Joe, do it.

Speaker 1 Joe, just say more. What else is on the list?

Speaker 1 What else is on our list?

Speaker 2 Unfortunately, we have to say R.I.P. to a couple of really big names.

Speaker 1 Roy Ayers, I'm sad. I love you.
Thank you for everything. You are a legend in my eyes, in my dad's eyes, and plenty of artists that have sampled you's eyes.
You lived a long, beautiful life.

Speaker 1 We will miss you and we will love you forever. Thank you for your contributions.

Speaker 2 Yes. And

Speaker 2 in addition to that, unfortunately, Dwayne Wiggins, one of the founding members of Tony Tony Tony, it has been confirmed that he passed away.

Speaker 1 Come on. That is just heartbreaking.

Speaker 1 So heartbreaking. Oh!

Speaker 1 I hate when you go on these streaks of pods where you have to say rest in peace.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then it'd be people that actually played a huge part in your life.
Come on, Tony.

Speaker 1 Tony.

Speaker 1 They didn't say how, right?

Speaker 1 Bladder cancer.

Speaker 1 This bitch on Dateline last night.

Speaker 1 What the fuck? Yo, this shit triggered you. Yo.

Speaker 1 Maybe it ain't the time to talk about it because we ain't going to be here too long.

Speaker 1 But this girl on Dateline last night. I watched two Datelines.
One was the classic classic story of the white guy tired of his wife. Hey, come on, let's go hiking.

Speaker 1 Push those political.

Speaker 1 He kicked her knife.

Speaker 1 Don't laugh.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 1 Yo.

Speaker 1 White people are devious, yo.

Speaker 1 Back to the shit I flipped in the video. He said,

Speaker 1 I'm going to walk out. I'm going to hold the pillow.
John, cut this old shit. Stop.
You're giving Parks more working at it. All right.
All right.

Speaker 1 I don't want to play. You're right.
Thank you. Okay, Parks.
Oh, my God. Parks.

Speaker 1 Anyway. What was this?

Speaker 1 Second date line, high school sweethearts, went to the same college, got married. She's a physician.
He works in IT,

Speaker 1 but he also got a baseball team on his side that she helps with. Long story less long, at some point, she starts scamming.
He don't know that she's scamming. Okay.

Speaker 1 So she is borrowing money from everybody they know, his parents, her parents, a small town in Virginia, all of their friends in the town. She hitting her white friends up for 250, 250K, 500 grand,

Speaker 1 600 grand. Her own family? Yes, and everybody trusts her.
So they pay a lot of money. Anyway,

Speaker 1 the husband,

Speaker 1 caught wind of it or started asking questions. So she say to herself, I'm going to kill him.
So she go get some, she borrow insulin from the neighbor.

Speaker 1 Because the neighbor got a kid who was diabetic.

Speaker 1 Okay. So she borrow insulin from the neighbor, inject the husband with insulin.

Speaker 1 He pass out and is laying on the couch for like eight hours. She's refusing to bring him to the hospital.

Speaker 1 Having his family and friends come visit him, see him on the thing and say, no, don't take him to the hospital. Jerry hated hospitals.
Don't bring him. Finally, somebody brings him to hospital.

Speaker 1 They do an investigation. They find the insulin in the fucking, in her fridge, and then

Speaker 1 she goes to court. She goes to jail for 11 years for the scam.
I mean, for the scam shit. And then they brought it back for the murder.

Speaker 1 And even though it was all circumstantial evidence, they found her ass guilty of murdering her husband. And in general, he died from the insulin.
He was 38 years old. He was mad, healthy.

Speaker 1 He was like an athlete, a bodybuilder.

Speaker 1 I'm sitting there like, yo, white people.

Speaker 1 I watched 90 minutes of the damn deadline. Was it 2020? One of them.
And I'm like, I don't think they're going to explain to me the motive here.

Speaker 1 Life insurance?

Speaker 1 She keeps asking people for money.

Speaker 2 So I would.

Speaker 1 She was getting a lot of money. She had a lot of money.

Speaker 1 What was she doing with the money, though? Was it up? Like, lifestyle upkeep or something? Well, it was a pyramid scheme. So she was.

Speaker 1 So she's taking from investors and paying back some people. She said that they were doing government contracts.
And if you're down with this, she had a whole big scheme.

Speaker 2 But did everybody notice that her lifestyle kind of upgraded, like new cars?

Speaker 1 Or no, because

Speaker 1 they took this family to be well off already.

Speaker 2 Oh, got it, got it. So she's doing it to keep up appearances.
Got it, got it.

Speaker 1 I don't know why she was doing it, but don't kill your husband of since high school with anything. She's about to blow the scam up.

Speaker 1 I'd just be amazed by white people scams.

Speaker 1 White people's scams come with like audacity.

Speaker 1 Like, like how they got America. Yes.

Speaker 1 You know how much we discover you gotta have to say, you know what?

Speaker 1 I'm putting insulin in you, nigga, when you get sleep. Go take a nap.

Speaker 1 You ever had one of a fight with your girls and felt like you couldn't go to sleep?

Speaker 1 I'm spilling too much now. No, you're not.
Yo, y'all ever been in a fight with your girl and came to the realization, yo, she could. I think that she could kill me.

Speaker 1 Yo, niggas are sick.

Speaker 1 Yeah, start looking at your bitch different. Yo, you would kill me, wouldn't you? You would.

Speaker 1 Sometimes it happens. Even if you didn't think that, you didn't go right to sleep.
No.

Speaker 1 You've been in a fight where you didn't just feel like you could just take a nap right then and there with your girl around. No.
You talking about the one where

Speaker 1 the outrage one? Oh.

Speaker 1 No, the quiet one, the quiet one is cool, but I'm talking about the one where it's just like, I'm tired of it now. Like, all right, all right.
And just let you got it. You talking crazies.

Speaker 1 Fuck out of here, nigga. It's my shit.
Fuck you. All right.
All right. Oh, or your shit.
Your shit. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You right? It's your shit. I got it.

Speaker 1 I'm a bad big dog.

Speaker 1 I forgot who I was.

Speaker 1 Go to sleep thinking, you got to look, nigga, walking around.

Speaker 1 You don't walk this much at night. What's you good? Exercising? Nah, you getting one of them fights where you can tell where you learned that she got that twitch.

Speaker 1 Like, oh, shit, she just hunting a little neck that the little Michael Jackson thriller shit.

Speaker 1 You're right, you're right. And then you go and...
Oh, like that shit flipped. I'm like, oh, no, this is your house.
Nah, you're right.

Speaker 1 I forgot where I was. I forgot where I was.
But you got it. Then you look like, oh, shit, and she's been watching Snapped.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, all right, my last TV review.

Speaker 1 So I watch a show called Accused That's Really Good. Okay.

Speaker 1 And apparently they came back for season two.

Speaker 1 And I didn't know that that happened. So I was catching up on it.

Speaker 2 Did you see the one with Nick Cannon?

Speaker 1 No. Okay.
It's a good episode. Is that in season two?

Speaker 2 I think so, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, I watched the one where they bit off of the movie that we talked about with the sexy robot. The sex robot.
Yeah. Subservient.
Yeah. So this one is with two black people.
So

Speaker 1 the wife is working. She's a professional.
She don't have time to fuck him.

Speaker 1 He's asking for pussies. She's like, no.
She gets him an intimacy companion. Lie right there.

Speaker 1 At first.

Speaker 1 And at first, he's offended because I asked you for some pussy. I didn't ask you to give me a robot.
But it gets the robot. The robot is fine.
They start fucking. The robot is good at it.

Speaker 1 She gets jealous of the robot.

Speaker 1 Anyway, not to spoil alert. She ends up killing the husband.
Because he fell in love with the robot.

Speaker 1 And then when she went to court, they changed the footage to make it look like the robot killed the husband. And she got off.
Ooh,

Speaker 1 it's fire there. It's horrible.

Speaker 1 But black man didn't do nothing, and he's dead. Well, we know that.
That's all bullshit anyway. I spotted Madlines just from you telling the story.
It's not going to go that way.

Speaker 2 How would it go?

Speaker 1 She's not buying nothing for you to fuck.

Speaker 1 Okay. So it stops right there.

Speaker 1 And if he's asking her for some pussy and she's not giving him some,

Speaker 1 he going outside? He gonna get some pussy. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Well, and

Speaker 1 like. Not me.
If we're lacking in the bedroom, we might be lacking in some other places too. So it's not just a sex robot.
Like, it's the intimacy companion. So he's falling in love with the thing.

Speaker 1 The thing is designed to know him.

Speaker 1 Like, she knows all his information. She started playing the piano.
He's a pianist. Like, it was wild.
But anyway,

Speaker 1 it's not an ad, check it out. Accused.
I think that's the last episode. And the black guy we know him from somewhere.
I just don't remember his name because I'm not male with the names.

Speaker 1 All right, hold on. And the RIPs, we also wanted to say RIP to DJ Funk.
He was the ghetto house creator from Chicago. Okay, rest in peace.
Very, it's like a sub-genre of house music.

Speaker 1 Really, really, really big in Chicago. He just passed away as well.
So

Speaker 1 rest in

Speaker 1 peace.

Speaker 1 You fucked me up with this DJ Funk and Tony, Tony, Tony shit.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry. It's terrible.

Speaker 1 Nah, nah.

Speaker 1 I feel like that was a health joke at us again.

Speaker 2 I swear, I swear

Speaker 1 to God. I ain't take that one.

Speaker 1 She got a couple in the bag, though. She ain't finished.
That one I ain't taking as a health joke. We can't crack jokes on Miss Pilates.

Speaker 1 Nigga, you can't say anything to her anymore. She's good.
No, we can't say nothing about her at all. Miss Pilates Ozempic.

Speaker 2 That's hate right there.

Speaker 1 Pozempic.

Speaker 1 open the door, let's let's be adventurous.

Speaker 1 Let me put my head out the window.

Speaker 1 Let's be adventurous. A girl that eats McDonald's.
I'm never.

Speaker 1 You could tell.

Speaker 1 Even if she's bad, if they eat McDonald's, they're down for, if you eat fast food, if you have an option to take them to a nice restaurant or wherever, and they say, no, I want Chinese food, Wendy's, or McDonald's, you went for a time.

Speaker 1 That's the girl that has given the ops her phone location, and they will be there at your house. Well, that's now.
That's now.

Speaker 1 They wasn't doing that before. That's now.
They wasn't doing that before.

Speaker 1 If you already want a burger and fries real quick and let's hurry up and get to the house, you're gonna die. Yeah, you're dead, buddy.

Speaker 1 We talk about getting to the we're talking about knocking it off in the vehicle. Hey,

Speaker 1 the parking lot. Yeah, the parking lot.
Hey, yo, you know, I remember.

Speaker 1 I remember when the police called me one time in the car, what you doing? I hate, you know what I'm doing, nigga. I hate when they ask you that question you have to answer.
Now I gotta lie.

Speaker 1 What y'all was doing? Oh, no, I was just

Speaker 1 that's how they caught Mr. C.

Speaker 1 Rest in peace, man.

Speaker 1 Rest in peace. But that is how they caught Mr.
C. Mr.
C would not get some privacy. That nigga was at the junction in the car.
No tent.

Speaker 1 Cops was like.

Speaker 1 Which time?

Speaker 1 Moving on. I'm not, don't put the camera on me.
The real, after he got caught the first time, he was still in the street when I'm like, yeah,

Speaker 1 that he was in his bag. That's my nigga, man.
I love Mr. C.

Speaker 1 What? I ain't turned on him like hip-hop did when that shit happened.

Speaker 1 Fuck y'all talking about? Nigga, that's my man, but come on. He was a good guy.
You the room, man.

Speaker 1 Probably could have got a hotel room.

Speaker 1 Ed Love tried to line you up.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing. Ed Lova tried to line you.

Speaker 1 Because he was making Mr. C jokes when it first happened.
And then I ended up at,

Speaker 1 he used to run a radio station,

Speaker 1 like an internet radio station that him and my man's had.

Speaker 1 So I'm doing my man's show. Shout out to Gotti.

Speaker 1 And Ed Lova was present because he's like the owner of the station. So Gotti announced him or whatever.
And he was like, I saw him look over and go, That's a vision.

Speaker 1 He's like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Next thing I know, he had some people come, try to lock me in a room. I'm like, yo, bro.
Because he was like, I ain't appreciate.

Speaker 1 He was saying that all of that shit, because this when it first came out, was false.

Speaker 1 And everybody making jokes. He was like riding for his mans.

Speaker 1 And had a problem with it. I love that all of C's friends was riding for him.
They was riding for him. I absolutely love that.

Speaker 1 97 family was riding for him. It was.
I love that. Because, again, at that time in hip-hop,

Speaker 1 hip-hop's response wasn't as sensitive and delicate as it is today. They were saying C hardships.
And you don't know what could help lead to somebody's mental state. People never did a certain way.

Speaker 1 Mental wasn't a thought back then. The shit you say, how it could affect somebody, what nobody think about that.
I will say this: let's remove it from C, but

Speaker 1 I can see why a nigga, not with men, but go

Speaker 1 to Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 Yo, my girl. I can see why niggas go to Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 I saw a nice one.

Speaker 1 I saw a bad one. I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1 I wish itch was in my spirit, meaning like I had to talk game because I couldn't. I saw a nice one.

Speaker 1 Why would you need talk game? Because I wanted to ask her, what do you think?

Speaker 1 You ain't got to do this, right? Yeah, you ain't got to do that.

Speaker 1 She was fire on Pennsylvania and Brooklyn. You know, that backstreet shit about white cats.
I know know what you're talking about?

Speaker 1 Because I read it in the paper. Yeah, sure.

Speaker 2 You've driven by it on the way to the airport.

Speaker 1 I don't drive to Brooklyn. Bad.
Brooklyn games. Oh.
Yo, listen, I'll go ahead and snitch on myself. So, y'all know I always say that my girl goes out of her way to ruin my Instagram experience.

Speaker 1 Yes. And in her defense, I think she has a different Instagram than I have.

Speaker 1 I think she has Instagram Plus or Instagram Premium. Because she showed me on her shit,

Speaker 1 she'll be looking at some cooking shit. And in the top right corner, it'll say a big picture of me

Speaker 1 with a heart to something I like. That's not what she's looking for.
Right, you click, it shows you three, and then you click that, it'll show you.

Speaker 1 You click that, it'll take you right to where your man is getting his shit off in his bag.

Speaker 1 And then at the bottom, it says, yo, Joe Button, like, but, whatever. So sometimes she go on my followers, and then she'll hit me on the text.

Speaker 1 Yo, it's catfish, bitch you following.

Speaker 1 Yo, this bitch you following? She's 22, 22, dog. Knock it off.
What are you doing? The other day, she just popped up at the text.

Speaker 1 Yo, this chick right here you following, it's Catfish. And this other chick is a dude.

Speaker 1 I said, wait.

Speaker 1 I said, wait. Hold on.

Speaker 1 Tomato. I said, wait.

Speaker 1 Why are you always playing around?

Speaker 1 A dude, how? Why are you always playing around? What you mean, yo?

Speaker 1 Exactly. What you mean? You kind of do.

Speaker 1 Show me where I'm following a dude. Man, sure enough, she sent me some nigga.
It was a girl, but her face was strong.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 it was an extra strong. I could see wow.
Let's draw a line.

Speaker 1 I can see how looking at home, girl, boy,

Speaker 1 it would get

Speaker 1 man.

Speaker 1 Just unfollow, man. I didn't want that.

Speaker 1 It was a headache. I didn't want the headache.

Speaker 1 I was like,

Speaker 1 nigga caught me.

Speaker 1 Nigga caught me slipping. Do you take your life back?

Speaker 1 Yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 Ain't crazy.

Speaker 1 All of them. Immediately.
Every like. Bock, bong.
Now they got this shit where you could click one profile, it'll show you all the pictures that you like from them. Take them all back right there.

Speaker 1 I still be laughing every time they show, but then the clip will never die of me on Couples Therapy when Carmen was talking and I do the face like this.

Speaker 1 I laugh every time I see that clip. But I'm like, yo, well, everybody in that room knew already.
I was the only one that didn't know.

Speaker 1 But I'm sitting there like, yo, y'all don't hear this nigga saying transition and shit. Like, am I the only one peeping this?

Speaker 1 Shout out to Carmen. I still follow Carmen to this day.
But

Speaker 1 you don't mind that, though. You don't mind liking pictures.
And I remember we tried to crack a joke on you about liking

Speaker 1 on Instagram a trans picture or a gay picture. You said, nigga, I'm not.
He's bisexual. So he don't think that.
He's not bisexual. I'm not bisexual.
He's not bisexual. No.
Not in the slightest.

Speaker 1 But, but. Not at all.

Speaker 1 You said that. You told me itching myself.
Like, yo, nigga, I don't, I like him. I like the picture.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't think that means anything.

Speaker 1 I don't think, yeah, I don't think it's deeper than like, if I'm friends with a transgender person and they post a picture and I like to support them, I'm liking it.

Speaker 1 That don't mean I want to fuck you. That means I support you and what you got going on.

Speaker 1 I know that that's not how some of it is. Of course.
The internet don't think that. Oh, look.

Speaker 1 We got him.

Speaker 1 We got him.

Speaker 1 I'll be afraid.

Speaker 4 Nigga, I went to Starlitz.

Speaker 1 I ain't got to say that. I can't say that.
But, yo, I'll be afraid, yo.
