[Washable Sofas Advertiser]

Required new customer offer for first three months only.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of network's.

[Washable Sofas Advertiser]

Busy taxes and fees extra.

[Ryan Reynolds]

See mintmobile.com the volume. I want to give a congratulations first to the clips. 112k sold first week. That is incredible numbers.

[Co-host]

I keep saying 112, 118. Which one is it?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I've seen whatever ones but I'm looking. I' looking at.

[Co-host]

It's a win, man.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's actually hip hop billboard here and it's. It's 112 here. 54. Almost 55, 000 pure sales. Which I think is incredible too independent. Yeah. Which despite what people when they see the Roc Nation thing. And here I go caping when I'm really not. I'm just telling you the truth. Roc Nation's label folded into a distribution company. So you can sign a Roc Nation and not be on their label. You can just sign to their distribution company.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There is a million artists that y' all think are purely independent. They use rock's distribution, people use Tunecore. They're still independent.

[Co-host]

Right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Like yeah, it's just another version of that. But that also means they're going to like want to check on their investment too. If they get a percentage of what you do. Why wouldn't we try to help y' all push anything?

[Degree Advertiser]

Right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

And also what's wrong with that? The new fan of trying to kill TDE for like giving Dochi a lot of looks and all this major. Oh, they got a major. That's the point of your label is to push you. You guys have seen labels be so shitty for so long that y' all get confused when a label does their job and say there's something wrong with it. Like that's only in our face because of label. Yeah, that's the fucking point.

[Co-host]

Right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And I don't know. How do you feel about this, this clip's perspective of their rollout. I think it was amazing. We came on here, said it's been one of the better rollouts, but the way it's been turned into this machine manipulation is absolutely insane to me. What publication, media outlet did the clips do that not every single fucking artist has done before?

[Co-host]

I think what the clips did was, was. Was dope. I mean it felt like an old school rollout. They actually was out, you know, moving around, doing the work. But on top of the rollout and things like that. You know one thing that a lot of people don't understand, Rory, is the Work that goes on behind the scenes for these rollouts. This is months in advance that these things have to be planned. But the bottom line. Cause you could have the greatest rollout, but if the music doesn't stand up to the rollout and doesn't stand up to all of the things, and us constantly seeing this in our face, that's when it's a problem. Now, what the clips did, the music, it spoke for itself. You know, they did what they were supposed to do on that side of it. The rollout helped amplify it and let people know that the album was coming. I love what they're doing from the vinyls, the artwork, the sneakers. You know, everything that they're doing is intentional. It makes sense. It seems like it's a well executed plan to back up a well executed body of work.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Exactly. And I'm glad you said intentional. Cause to finish my point. Yeah. The clips didn't go anywhere that anyone else had. Anytime they went somewhere, they made it intentional and it sat with the audience when they spoke about. Even if you disagreed with it, even if you said, oh, it's clout. Chasey with the Push and Travis shit. Every time the clips went somewhere, they made something count. Whether they were talking about their parents passing every. Whether they were just playing Jada in Fat Joe, some of the songs before on camera. And you just said Jada just had to. Disgusting. That's intentional. That's a great. You're taking a platform that has a lot of numbers and the audience is leaving with something that has to do with your project.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So yeah, you could say they had the machine, but the machine wasn't in the room with them when they were being interviewed, when they were promoting it. You think. You think Push and Malice need Roc Nation or even Steven Victor, one of the best managers, or even Steven to get the looks that they got. No, because they've been in this business 25 years, have their own connections. People love them. They are legends in their own right. Legendary catalog started with Pharrell. No, maybe people just like the clips and maybe they're very good at what they do. Because I would love to see what look the clips got that every A list artist on a major hasn't gotten.

[Co-host]

Yeah, no, I think the clips, what they did was they just spoke to their fan base. They catered to their fan base. If you're new to the clips, I'm sure that they welcome that as well. But I think they focused their core. They focused on what they do. They didn't go too Far away from the clips brand and the things that they would naturally align themselves with. Again, do I feel like some of it was clout chasing? Yeah, I feel like the Travis shit was a little clout chasing.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Can we look up the definition of clout chasing? Because we've talked about this before. Well, let's look. Isn't marketing clout chasing.

[Host]

Let's look up the definition of clout. You already clout chasing.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's been culturally.

[Co-host]

But yeah, I don't. But even if it is right, even if I feel like the Travis shit was unnecessary and it was to kind of amplify things. Cool. My thing is the music still stood, though. The music was still good.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And. And before anything Travis related, all those interviews, they were reacting to a song. Yeah, it's not like there was no music related to. Because of course, we always want rappers to rap about how they feel. I always want to know how push feels, even if it is at Travis's expense. It's not like he just went on a interview run talking about. They were asking about a verse he had in a song. So, you know, if you're gonna do that. Yeah, it's in the music. Yeah, that's all that.

[Co-host]

That and in the music. The music was. Was great. Again, you know, they. They didn't go far away from their formula with Pharrell. I mean, and if you're blessed enough to have Pharrell, you know, in charge of your music and in the studio producing your music, I mean, you really just got a layup at that point. Like, it's like, you know, Pharrell set the screen. You can go get a bucket. So, I mean, I think the clips did what they were supposed to do, man. This just speaks to keeping true to your formula, keeping true to your brand, keeping true to what it is, what you do, keeping true to your audience, feeding your audience. You know, in a time like now where it's a lot of other things in the space and sounds and things like that, you know, it takes a certain type of person to know who they are, know what their sound is, to stay true to it and deliver. And that's what they did, man. Whether you. You like the clips or not, you can't. There's no doubt that they stayed true to who they are and executed and.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Everyone that has been trying to put, like, a negative connotation to their numbers or, you know, trying to focus on everything but the music. I think you brought up a great point of. Through their rollout and music stayed to their core. And look what happened? It leaked over to people that weren't their core. Yeah, they got in front of everyone. Not by having to do. Of course. The Travis thing was one thing, but they focus music platforms. They even said, we only want to speak to certain people with this. Your core is what you focused on, and it went past your core. That's why focusing on your core first is always the best route, always the best way. Um, I saw a lot of people comparing with Jack Boys and congrats to. To chase trav, everybody. 251st week, crazy. 181 pure sales.

[Co-host]

They did 250.

[Ryan Reynolds]

251. Now that brought. That brought up between why I brought up Jack Boys.

[Co-host]

That's surprising. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't see. I didn't see anybody talking about the album.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Dog. Travis went number one with a mixtape that was like 10 years old that he re released with a T shirt.

[Co-host]

Yeah, that. That's. That's wild.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It didn't really shock me. It brought up a lot of points over the past week with the clips and Jack Boys because like you said, clips did a lot of cool shit with different vinyl covers, different merch pieces. Push even said, I forgot. Maybe it was with Joe and Jada that they plan to do more merch collabs with this album. I'm sure that the record will be part of it. When you purchase the clothes. That's what Jackboy's done. That's always been something people say about Travis. Remember when Nikki went on that whole fucking crazy rant and then Billboard changed the rules in 2020, then 2023. I want to say they changed it back. That's why we're still able to do the bundle thing. But you have to have the album available for purchase by itself, and then only one T shirt and album can be sold together.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's the only bundles you're allowed.

[Co-host]

So this was connected. This album was connected to some Jackboy's merch.

[Ryan Reynolds]

A lot of it.

[Co-host]

Okay. That's why that changes things a little bit.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I want to make it clear, like, pure sales also comes from buying direct on itunes, buying direct vinyls and everything. So they accuse the Clips and Jack Boys of, like, you know, the margins are kind of crazy, but not too far off for people that do bundles, it's about half.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Who cares? I understood Nicki because to a superstar like Nicki Minaj, a lot of perception in number one doesn't matter. I get it. But the fans that get mad about this, I don't Understand? So Billboard, we have no artist union. We don't. We can't even regulate how Billboard even counts anything. We allowed streaming to set the exact price of what our songs are worth without even a hearing, a trial, nothing. They said, this is the market value no matter who the fuck you are, and this is it. And we said, okay, here's my music. We're not allowed to go try to find a loophole so we can make some more money.

[Co-host]

Mm.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You already fucked us by setting a standard that only really benefits y'.

[Co-host]

All.

[Ryan Reynolds]

At the end of the fucking day, we're not allowed to go outside the lines. The labels we signed to are in bed with you. So why the fuck would I be mad at Travis or malice or push to find a way to go direct to their consumers to make more money off their hard work. The fuck is y' all mad at an artist for? Be mad at the that we have to do this because there's no reason to Travis Scott song should be worth 0.000001 of a penny.

[Degree Advertiser]

Right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

And you also know how to design clothes. You fucking right. I'm going to find a loophole.

[Co-host]

Yeah, I just, I think that, you.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Know, people had to do forever is try to find a loophole out of the system that y' all create that we can't go outside of. And now the. The fans of creatives are going like, oh, no, it's not. How you doing that shit? That's cheating. No, we've been cheated.

[Co-host]

Yeah. I think that's the part of it that, that fans don't really look at and don't really take into, you know, account. Yes, I understand. You know, you're saying, oh, well, the numbers only look like that because they have merch with it. Yeah. But on the artist side, they're looking at it like, well, shit, we gotta find a way to make money. We gotta find a way to, you know, capitalize off of this album. We can't do it purely off of streaming because of, like you said, what they're paying us for a stream. So I mean, you know, but again, it's not the consumers responsibility to one know that or think about that. The consumer's responsibility is to consume and. And decide whether or not they enjoy it or not. They don't really have to get into the business side of it, but they, you know, when they do, when they express themselves and they're mad about something, the information should be available to them. Hey, listen, like you said, the artist is only getting paid this small percentage on Their music. Is it not fair for the artist to find a way to kind of capitalize and make money off of their music in another lane? I think it is. You know, I'm saying whether that affects the sales and how fans look at the numbers and who's number one, who's number two. Like I said, some of my favorite albums, I don't know where they landed on the charts. I don't know what they sold first week. I have no idea.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And on top of that, and I'm not like taking a shot at Billboard anything. It's really because we have a no artist union that can regulate it. We don't even know how the fuck Billboard counts anything, right? There's. There's no checks or balances of, like, all right, can I audit Billboards? Like, you can't do that. So artists just have to do what is better for them. And we talked about back to like, the Nikki thing. I do understand that some major label artists, especially at that level, have stipulation in their contract. Like if you get a number one album, certain budget gets open. Like accolades do matter. It matters with Grammys. Perception is a thing in artistry. So, okay, if you set the standard that I have to have a number one album, I'm a creative. I'm not going to find a way to do it. I have to manipulate the system that you won't change.

[Co-host]

Right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

So I'll also do that. I'll also sell a T shirt and not even put an extra 9.99 on it. But you're still getting a digital download. I'll even take the hit financially to do the perception thing because you have created a contract where I need to be in the top 10 to matter at your label or to open a certain budget or have any leverage when I renegotiate, right. I can't get this Grammy because, oh, if you look at Billboard, it doesn't match our Grammy standards. Like, yeah, artists are just doing what's best for them. That doesn't affect. Affect the fans whatsoever.

[Co-host]

Artists gotta pivot, man. Artists gotta find a way to still capitalize off their art. If it means, you know, attaching it to a fire piece of merch and things like that, that's just the, the game that has to be played.

[Ryan Reynolds]

When the Khaled Travis, Travis Tyler thing happened, remember their fight for number one and that whole corny situation on, you know, Khaled's behalf? We all have corny moments. I'm not shitting on Khaled his. When he didn't Beat Tyler. Tyler was. Was pure. I'm sure he did a merch bundle somewhere in there, but he tied that to an energy. He was selling cases of energy drinks. And we didn't even know that was tied to. I was at 7:11. Didn't know I just bought a calad on.

[Co-host]

Yeah. You know now.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And here's the thing. I know number one matters a lot to Khaled. It's part of. It's part of his brand and his perception, which I get. I totally get that.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I also didn't care, like, if that's how Khaled can make money on the back end and has a deal with the energy company, to me that's good business.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Like, I mean, unless they're like, harming people overseas to create this energy drink, I don't like. What. Why as a fan would I be fucking mad at that?

[Co-host]

Yeah. Only time. Only time.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's so weird to me.

[Co-host]

Only time I look at it a weird way is when the music is trash and you tell me that's number one. That's when I'm like, yo, cut this shit, man. Like, that album is terrible. Like, but if the music is fire, the album is dope. I don't care if this a hoodie or some sneakers or energy drink tied to that. I don't. As long as the music is good. When the music is not good and y' all try to tell me this is the number one album, that's when I'm looking at you like, man, get outta here. That's not the number one album.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Literally, to this day, I feel like the first patriot act, Big brother looking over you was U2. In all Apple products, U2 has. Has been part of my life, whether I like it or not.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So we supposed to get mad when HOV does a deal with Samsung and it's a million copies before the album even comes out. I don't care.

[Co-host]

Right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Is Magna Carta good? Why the would that bother you?

[Co-host]

Yeah, I get it, I get it. But as fans, you know, they support who they support, man, and they want to see their people at number one. And if somebody has a hoodie, that's dope. But the album is not. And now that ALB number one, I get that part of it, so I get why people upset.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think a lot of fans, myself included, sometimes, which is, your merch can't.

[Co-host]

Be better than the album. I mean, let's put that out there. Your merch can't be better than album.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But here's.

[Co-host]

That's when the problem.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Here's the thing. I, you know, as a moral fan of music, do have an issue with people that are not artists, that are just here for a lick. But if your music is trash and your actual talent is to create merch and you're using your shitty YouTube type beat to get eyes in front of your actual talent, I don't care. I don't.

[Co-host]

But you. You speaking from a, a, a, a creative. And I understand. And I get it, I get it, I understand.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But a creative that also realizes that integrity doesn't pay the mortgage sometimes. And I'm not saying go do some against your integrity or against your moral value, but if you can capitalize and. And get $10 instead of $5 out of your core fan base, and your fan base can't wait to do that because your product is also good, what the fuck is the problem?

[Co-host]

Yeah, I get it. I understand that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I want to ask these fans, like, to break down what. What would you do in this situation that needs to be an app? Anyone that does a tweet that's. That's like really criticizing someone's business move that doesn't, again, like, hurt anyone. It should give you the scenario of, like, what would you do in this? Yes or no? Would you take this advance? Would you take that would. All right, if Kaz came to you to do all your artwork and then wants to do five different vinyls as limited edition, charge this much money, yes or no?

[Co-host]

Right? Yeah. No, I get it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Of course you do.

[Co-host]

That makes sense. No worry about. As long as Tyler the creator don't have the number one album next week, I'm cool.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Why?

[Co-host]

That shit is trash. Ooh.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's. It's been three hours.

[Co-host]

It's been three hours of trash.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Really?

[Co-host]

That shit is not it. And I love it. You know I fuck with Tyler.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I know you love Tyler.

[Co-host]

That album is not it, bro.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Really?

[Co-host]

I don't like it, Rory.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I like it. It's been one listen, because again, we're recording this on Monday. It came out 6am on Monday, which I want to say. I love that Tyler's last two albums, he's done this morning on Monday. You can live with it throughout the week.

[Co-host]

I like that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

The weekend.

[Co-host]

I like dropping on Monday, you know, Friday, Saturday.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. People have shit to do sometimes. It's tough to live with an album. I like Monday morning. Fuck the numbers. Fuck playlisting. But not every artist can do that. Tyler's Tyler, so.

[Co-host]

Yeah. No, he can do that. Yeah. He has the luxury of doing That.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I miss Tuesday releases. Like, I. I like this. So I haven't had much time. I loved it off the first listen.

[Co-host]

Loved it. Yeah. No way. Our taste levels are not that different, bro.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's a fun project you could have.

[Co-host]

Yes, it is. It's a fun project. That's just.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, so you're going to get really pissed at my comparison, then.

[Co-host]

What are you comparing this to?

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's what, 21 minutes?

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Straight to the Point album. I'm not comparing them sonically or lyrically. I'm saying, to me, this is like his King Disease Magic type series. It's straight. It's good beats, some bars. Nothing's overthought. It's just music. It's just straight to the point of, here's a great beat and here's some raps.

[Co-host]

Listen. I'll listen to it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Is that version of the Kings of Z shit in magic the way Nas and Hip Boy did? Listen, like, we're not overthinking this. This is just great beats and. And great rhymes.

[Co-host]

That's cool. And sometimes not overthinking it is great. This is one time we're not overthinking it didn't land on the side of great. To me, I love Tyler, the creator. I think he's dope. I love everything he does visually. I love his whole aesthetic, his brand. I fuck with him, this project. I'm not going to go back and listen to this much, if at all, really. It just didn't. I listened to two twice to maybe two and a half. I turned it off when I got here on the third listen. It's just not.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What. What don't you like about.

[Co-host]

It's just the. I get it. You taking a chance sonically, musically, you doing something different, trying to sound different.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Here's the thing, I think. Yeah, I don't think there's like a risk here. I think it's just kind of straight to the point. Like, this is a mashup of all the sounds Tyler has had over the last 15 years.

[Co-host]

And, yeah, the match.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't think there's a. I don't think there's any risk. I think it's. This is Tyler in a true form of him not wanting to do three years in between albums like he used to, and just coming back with some 21 minutes instead of letting shit sit on a hard drive. I did it. Here you go.

[Co-host]

He could have kept this 21 minutes, though. We ain't need that, really.

[Auctioneer]

Nah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You don't think it's one of those that maybe you need to, like, give it a chance outside of a Uber in FDR traffic.

[Co-host]

I listened to it in the crib.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Co-host]

I turned it on this morning. As soon as it dropped, I saw it dropped. I was like, oh, shit. Okay. Getting dressed. Okay, Turn it on is. And that's how I like to listen. I don't like to really, like, focus on the music. I like to just let it play in the background.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Same.

[Co-host]

Nothing really grabbed me and was like, okay, this is hard. Like, I didn't. It just was like, it's, you know, music. It's like, all right, he's rapping a little bit, got a few bars. But it's not nothing where I'm like, yo, I gotta bring that back. I gotta hear that again. Like, nothing said bring that back.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I liked the ones that stood out again. One listen in between having a flat tire sucker free. I loved Ring Ring Rings. Cool. Stop playing with me. Don't you wear the last three. I love eight through 10, I think are great. I have to go back to don't tap the glass. Oh, yeah, this is a cool joint. Do I think it compares off first listen to, like, Igor? No, but it's a. Or call.

[Co-host]

I'm not even. I'm not even comparing it to his other. His other. I'm. I listened to it for exactly what it is. This is what he put out this morning. This is what I'm listening to. I'm not thinking about it with Igor ears and all of that shit. I'm just listening to new talent music. None of it grabbed me. None of it helped me. I didn't bring back any of the songs. Like, yo, let me hear that again. Like, it just didn't. It wasn't it for me, man. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe, you know, it might change throughout the week.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host]

As of right now, two and a half listens.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, also, I'm cool.

[Co-host]

I don't. I go back to what I was listening to, man. I was still listening to the clips. Yeah, I mean, I go back to that. Like, I turned. I turned that off and went back to the clips. Like, I. I just. I don't know, I just didn't. It didn't really. It didn't really grab me. This, this, this. This project again. Maybe he just wanted, like you said, get. Get these songs out the hard drive, Put it out there. Cool visual, I guess, you know, whatever. But I just. To me, it's just. It's. It a. This ain't it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's funny. I. I hope how quick he turned it around coming off the last project. I hope he's getting into everyone. I'm not comparing him to that part of the second half of his career where it's a vibe like keep putting music out like quicker. Like, I love that he waits to do these masterpieces. Takes three years tours.

[Co-host]

Yeah, but everybody ain't does everything great.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm again, I'm not calling talent. No, no, I get it very clear.

[Co-host]

No, no, no, but. But some people don't need to put out music at that volume though.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think Tyler, for the type of producer and writer he is, is one of those that I would trust at a high clip to do that. I really do. I. I was going to come in here and say, is there a single artist in the new generation that you could compare to Tyler? I don't think even out the big three, they don't. I think all three of them have, you know, maybe better catalogs, which I think could even be argued to some degree. Is anyone like, even when, when Kanye came out, there was still people that we could compare him to. As far as like we know Q Tip produce raps. Like that was a thing for so long and yeah, I think was like the last probably big A list rapper that we knew was producing. And if you say he didn't write some of his stuff, mixed bag. But Tyler's the only one of his generation that is that to me. So I think there's like a different connection when somebody's really producing it as like you are putting this entire pieced together. And I. Looking at his catalog of nine solo joints outside the odd future shit. This discography can be argued in hip hop history.

[Co-host]

No.

[Ryan Reynolds]

At this point in 2025.

[Co-host]

Yeah. No, whatever you think about this last.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Project, it came out three hours ago.

[Co-host]

We know that about Tyler though.

[Ryan Reynolds]

This, this is, this is a. A classic discography. Which I don't know if his peers have this nine right here.

[Co-host]

No, we. We know and that's what I'm saying. I. With last offering it, it didn't do nothing for me and I. And I think Tyler is incredible. Like I've spoken about that for years. I think he's incredible to some extent. I even think he's underrated to some extent. I. I hear what you're saying, but just this. Don't tap the glass. I just don't. You know, it. It again, I listening to just didn't nothing really grab me. Nothing really was like, this is incredible. Like, I just didn't. I didn't get that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, Can I challenge you for Friday that we revisit this? Or maybe next Tuesday we could do it Friday.

[Co-host]

We could revisit it. That's enough days for me to, like.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Listen to a project again. I liked off the first listen. I'm also of the belief that there's projects I've loved off the first listen. And by the third one, I was like, maybe I just like the hype.

[Co-host]

Yeah, no, it happens.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So I can come in here on Thursday and say, I don't like it.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But, you know, we did also say in the group chat, like, it just came out. There's not even.

[Co-host]

No, listen.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Don't judge us for any reason.

[Co-host]

I'm just going off of the. The natural. Like, when I listen to an album, it's just something that something grabs me, something holds my attention. Something like, I. This one, I didn't feel that. I didn't feel that with this project.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What I did grasp from this one and probably the last three, four Tyler projects, which maybe because I had the wedding on my mind. If Tyler sat down, I would ask him if he ever thinks he'll find love. Oh, it's been four. It's been four fucking hours.

[Co-host]

That would be the dumbest question you could ever ask. Why do you ever feel like you would find. I think Tyler would answer that in such a fucking way.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Because he's hilarious. But I'm saying, if you really pay attention to the themes and writing of the last four projects, sky probably. He sucks at love, man. I get it. That's why I identify with that, like, he. And he. He does it in a great way as an artist because there's fun stuff, substance stuff. There's accountability on stuff. There's. What's the, like, 15 minute joint on? Call me if you get lost. It's named after a street. Why am I blanking? Where everyone thought he was, like, talking about Solange or some. Which was, like, a complete lie. When he. His man's girl. Oh, Wilshire. There was accountability on that of how, like, shitty he was but not caring. That would be my first question to Tyler Critter. He's awesome. Like, the last four albums have had a theme of the love below of, like, this is never going to work out for me.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And knowing how vulnerable Tyler has been, even when it's got him in trouble. But not really sells out arenas. Nothing's changed. This guy sucks at love. I mean, but I'm not judging him because I was just in the stripper row at the Wedding. Like, this isn't a attack at his character. It's more of an identity thing. I can't think of an artist where the last four projects all have been like, it's not gonna work out. Usually they'll even lie and say there's, like, some redemption. Like, they'll get in a situationship and be like, this is the one, and make an album about it. He has failed four albums straight with just trying to find a girlfriend.

[Co-host]

I mean, maybe he need a boyfriend.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He's. Nobody's talked about that too, so that's.

[Co-host]

Maybe he just don't. He's confused. He don't know what he.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And Sorry, which was on the deluxe of Call Me Gets Lost, which was like, one of my favorite records of that year. He said he apologized to. To all the girls that he was lying to, that he was bisexual and dudes. And then apologize to the guys for misleading them. Like, I'm just gay to. I wasn't trying to date you.

[Co-host]

I was like, no, they know your answer. He. Tyler don't know what he wants.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's the theme too, in the.

[Co-host]

Yeah, he don't know what he want, man. He got to be real and honest with himself first before you talk about finding love. Like, he. He don't even know where to look for love at.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But then, even if you look at, like, the deluxe of Call Me Get Lost, the record Heaven, when they flip the John Legend shit, the whole second verse is just, like, dying to be 40 years old and married with kids.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And, like, setting his mom up in the house and all that. Like, he's actively talking about that, but then only talks about how he fucks up every relationship.

[Co-host]

Yeah, he. I think he's just, you know, I mean, he'll find it one day. I just don't think right now Tyler is honest with his. With himself, personally. I don't know. Musically, I think he's. He's. He's tapped in there, but maybe personally, he just still. You know, he does. He's still finding himself and figuring out what he really likes.

[Degree Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I wish he would come on the pod. I would talk about everything but music and piss off his whole core. I was just like, want to talk about personal things. I would corner him worse than old boy did.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

No, that was crazy. That was. That was. I still can't believe that was real.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We glossed over that too quick.

[Co-host]

Yeah. I don't.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I still can't believe that came and went and it shouldn't have.

[Co-host]

That was absolutely crazy. I. I still Think that was a skit? I don't think that was real.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't know, man. I thought it was a skit for a while. The more people I. I talked to, it wasn't like, at all.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Are they still cool?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think. I don't know.

[Co-host]

But I could see things.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't like followers like that his Getty images to see, like who he walks out of the club with. This message applies to 99 of you listening right now because that's how many of you can be covered by fast and reliable service on the Boost mobile network with 99% nationwide coverage. That's pretty much the whole nation. If you get down to more like 99%, pretty much covers.

[Co-host]

That covers it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It covers everything. But if you're thinking, no, I'm special, I'm in that 1%. Boost Mobile is amazing network does apply to you, I promise. And I don't want to hear it. You're either that one guy who actually profited off meme coin or you're a billionaire.

[Auctioneer]

And.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And in my experience, I find all of you untrustworthy and weirdly obsessed with memes. But for the 99% of you, listen up right now.

[Co-host]

When you switch to Boost Mobile, you can get the iPhone 15 with Dynamic island and a 48 megapixel main camera for 99. 99. That's $99.99. For the iPhone 15 on a nationwide network, I'm 99% positive. Boost mobile just gave all of us a really freaking good deal. In store offer only $35 device setup fee may apply. Requires credit qualification, ID verification, and on 60 plan taxes. Extra 5G speeds. Not available in all areas. I don't know. But I'll listen to the. Don't tap the glass again. I'll give it a couple more listens, but of the first two and a half, I'm not really. I don't. It's. It's just not for me.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What do you think?

[Co-host]

Respectfully, I was gonna say it's just not for you. It's just not for me.

[Host]

And that's okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What do you think that the title.

[Co-host]

Means of the album Don't Tap the Glass? You usually see that when there's animals that you don't want to agitate, you know, that type of thing. So maybe. Maybe this isn't. Maybe he has a Sea World appearance coming up.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yo.

[Host]

All right.

[Co-host]

What?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hilarious.

[Co-host]

Maybe he has a SeaWorld. I don't know. He can't tap the glass. You don't want to disturb orca you know what I'm saying?

[Ryan Reynolds]

So, yeah, I mean, listen, I. I don't know if I've. Again, My White Face should be the one. I think it's a brilliant title and I almost don't want to give my opinion, because if I'm wrong, boy, is that going to be awkward.

[Co-host]

No. What was your opinion, please?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think.

[Co-host]

Let's hear it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think based off. And again, first, listen, maybe he explains it more and I just didn't catch everything. Just off the title alone. Based off, you know, some of his recent comments about the Ian guy. Yeah. I think Tyler realizes that how big hip hop has become. There's a lot of people that aren't culture vultures, per se, but they're just passing visitors and have had a higher opinion than they've ever had before. And they're viewing it the way I used to talk about the Wire, how white people love the Wire because it feels like they could see the hood in a safe place. And they're like, white people are obsessed with the Wire. I think, obviously, it goes without saying that's happened with hip hop and how much it's grown. So telling y', all, view us like this entertainment shit is a zoo. Like, we are just dancing for you. So don't tap the glass. Just watch. Shut the fuck up. Pay your fee and watch.

[Co-host]

All right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

If you view it this way, do not even really. Just pay your fee.

[Co-host]

I see it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Do not. Don't. You're treating us like animals. Like it. Like you just sitting there going like this. And, you know. You know, I'm not even in your habitat. Like, yeah, but, boy, I hope I'm wrong or right, because if I'm wrong, it's gonna be weird.

[Co-host]

No, I mean, I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that. You know, you seeing it that way, that makes sense. I don't know if Tyler is, you know, if he thought that deep into it, but I.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Again, it just sparked. And I'm not saying solely this is like a Ian diss, because I don't even like listening or know about him, but that was the first time I heard Tyler speak up about that topic specifically and put a name on it. So, yeah, I feel like Tyler's very intentional with his words and interviews and what he said about Ian to me, don't tap the glass. Sparked in my head right away. Like, this guy over here cosplaying Gucci and Future and wearing khakis and a polo like that from Future and Gucci. Sounds that way. Because of pain. That's not like the shit you do in your voice. That's. You don't understand what that comes from.

[Co-host]

Yeah, okay, I see it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

This ain't you. I see it like, it's fine with people that are influenced as long as they're authentic to themselves.

[Co-host]

Right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But this ain't you don't even talk that way.

[Co-host]

I can see it. Definitely not mad at that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

All right, well, I'll give it. I'll give it a couple more lists since you love it. And I think that our taste levels. I think that our taste levels align on a lot of things. So the fact that I'm on the other side of the love. I'll give it a couple more.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I know what the fans are going to accuse you of. I do believe you, because I don't think you lie about music opinions. But I know the comments are going to be like, mall hates this because Brown and Clips were in the video. I know. I just know the Internet. I just know. I'm not saying it's true.

[Co-host]

I just sat here and said, I love the Clips album.

[Host]

We know, Pookie. The Internet. We know. You know.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, see, you don't. Because you don't tap the glass enough. Oh, you don't realize that this is all dedicated to Drake. And because Tyler was at the Pop out, they all got in a group chat, and then LeBron went into the video and then the clips. Obviously, we know their relationship for years with Tyler. And Tyler just became a Clips fan.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Because. Because he hates Drake and this album is coated, coded in. Honestly, nevermind. So, yeah, you don't see. You don't even.

[Co-host]

Don't tap the glass.

[Ryan Reynolds]

The glass more.

[Co-host]

And then Iceman is coming. The ice. I see where it's going.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Tyler just one of the Iceman.

[Co-host]

I see where it's going. I get.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Because we know Tyler's never been original.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He's always trying to be somebody else.

[Co-host]

I get it now. I get it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Host]

They won't even catch that sarcasm. They're about to clip you and put that as a fucking clip.

[Co-host]

Oh, God.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. They'll miss the last 20 minutes and just. Just clip that.

[Co-host]

Yeah, yeah. You know how to go.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And I'll be the Tyler hater. But I don't know. I mean, I like that video. And back to my app idea of, hey, what would you do in this situation if LeBron James and the Clips and Mav wanted to be in my video? I'd say yes. Did. I think it's odd sometimes of Just like somebody sitting there like this on a green screen. Sure. But I'd never say no if LeBron James wanted to be my video.

[Co-host]

As you should. You should. You should welcome LeBron to your video.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't think. I really don't think that anything to do with Drake whatsoever.

[Co-host]

Pizza.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, the clips thing, obviously not. But what would Tyler have against Drake?

[Co-host]

He was at the Pop Out.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, but.

[Co-host]

So bro went to pop out with them, but been dick riding gang since Headlines.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I thought that was more about, like, demar and Braun.

[Co-host]

I mean, Tyler too.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Tyler's been an open Drake fan. But the LeBron thing I understood because they were fan, like, friends. Friends. For real. Are Tyler and Drake that close? Like, did he owe him anything in that.

[Co-host]

No, I don't think he did, but, you know, he was at the Pop Up.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh. I don't think Drake likes anyone that went there. I just don't think Tyler is going out of his way.

[Co-host]

Drake don't like the niggas that work the concession stand. He got all of these. He got all of these.

[Ryan Reynolds]

The union workers.

[Co-host]

Oh, he got all of the IDs. He knows everybody that sold popcorn there that night. Fuck all y'. All.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's hilarious. The only thing I found weird was forget Drake out of that. Anytime Tyler has freestyled, even in the verse he has with Game. All he's done is dis LeBron James hairline for the last 20 years, anytime he's asked to rap. If I'm brown, I'm a the Drake sheet. I'm not going. Like we have to have a hairline conversation, sir.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Oh, I gotta watch the video again, though, to see if there's any little, you know.

[Host]

What did I miss? Sorry.

[Co-host]

The newspapers flying around, headlines in the newspaper.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Ah, okay. Oh, all right. See, I'm wrong. I didn't think that headline was about Tyler, but when it headlines come out. 2013.

[Co-host]

Sounds about right. Sounds about right. Maybe 13.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Co-host]

Either way, you know.

[Host]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Actually, I thought it was about Braun, but him and Braun have been friends. Was before that. That was like the. Was the joint with Kanye, Wayne, Eminem and Drake. That was for Bronze movie. Yeah, They've been friends for a while. Maybe it was about Tyler and. Yeah, the newspapers. Okay, I take it back.

[Host]

Headlines was on Take care. Right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Host]

2012.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay then. All right. Yeah, maybe it was.

[Co-host]

I don't know. I'm just talking.

[Host]

Yeah, we just make.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No, but all that deep dive with. With certain stuff like that. But the newspapers, I mean, that does make sense now that you bring up the headline. Yeah, I get it.

[Co-host]

I'm just talking. Yeah, look at that.

[Host]

Start stirring up narratives. I love that.

[Co-host]

Everybody else do.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We the narrative cast?

[Co-host]

Nah, we just the cast. We just. That's it, bro. Everybody else. Startup narratives and like. All right.

[Host]

When we stir up narratives, they tend to grow legs and start twerking.

[Co-host]

So I mean I'm just, you know, I'm just talking. I don't think that's Tyler was throwing any shots at Drake. I don't think so.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Cares like that, to be honest. Yeah. And I also don't really care.

[Co-host]

No worry.

[Host]

Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know Degree Cool Rush deodorant well. Last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.

Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition.

And Degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Ru ascent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Speaking of 50, we have like this segment was JD two weeks ago. Last week. Two weeks ago we started the like this, this or that type segment we did with JD and we want to do the Queen's edition today with you.

[Auctioneer]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Where you have to, you have to decide some things here. One can stay and one has to be gone forever. It was written NAS or the War Report component.

[Auctioneer]

Going forever.

[Ryan Reynolds]

One has to go forever. Can only keep one.

[Auctioneer]

No, we can't do that. Go to the next one. The whole question got to be going forever. We're not doing that.

[Co-host]

You tripping. Yeah. One gotta be gone forever.

[Auctioneer]

It was written. Was the. Was a part of the reason why I even started rapping. Nas is my favorite rapper ever, so I. I would have to go with that just based on the fact that I wouldn't even be on his couch without Illmatic. And it was written right? Dead ass. Like, when I first it was written, I pulled over my car like, what is this? Yeah, I heard the message. I was like, what the is this?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, I pulled over. I was driving down Jamaica Avenue at night, going to my crib.

[Co-host]

I pulled over.

[Auctioneer]

It was like, this shit is amazing.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

So that's the impact that music had on me. And it made me want to keep. To pursue rap in a real way. I was going to school to be like a doctor or some shit, trying to get my mother proud. And then I started getting to this hip hop gangster shit and I was like, all right, this is for me.

[Co-host]

It was written. Ruined your life. Ruined me. Sorry, mom.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, I guess the answer is peace, Capone. Nori.

[Co-host]

Sorry.

[Auctioneer]

Nah, we can't vote for. Nah, we can't do that though. We need Component Nori here too.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I feel like the War Report could get you in some more trouble than it was written.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, but that. That's so different message.

[Co-host]

Yeah, so. Yeah, but it's just.

[Auctioneer]

It's just that had an impact on me too.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Just not like what Nas did. But now we can't. We both of those. Can't do that.

[Co-host]

Yeah, we definitely need both of those albums.

[Auctioneer]

Can't do that. Yeah. These questions just take his phone away.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Fast Mo Move Quick Swift, your next single. And again, keep. Keep in mind that time does not really exist in this whole theory of this or that.

[Auctioneer]

All right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

This has to be your next single. Prodigy, Keep it thorough or Simon says far.

[Auctioneer]

That's a good one. Damn. But see, Prodigy is in my top five, which I do have a top six, cuz Prodigy's in there. Keep It Throw is one of my favorite records ever. And that far on my is retarded. Those are two.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Your next. Your next single.

[Auctioneer]

I'm have to go with Prodigy. Keep It Thorough. That's just. I'm a Queens. That's just. That's just.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

That'S rough.

[Co-host]

That's rough.

[Auctioneer]

30 games. But I. I'll go with Keep It.

[Co-host]

Thorough as your next thing.

[Auctioneer]

That's my. That's my favorite. That's one of my favorite records. I rapped on a beat 90 billion times.

[Co-host]

I think every rapper has probably Rapped on that.

[Auctioneer]

That's one of my favorite records ever. You so you. You're doing this unfair shit, man. I mean, this man has to be.

[Co-host]

This is Queens, though. This is Queens.

[Auctioneer]

This man has to be stopped.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think I'm gonna go with Simon says, though, because I feel like Farrah March is probably still eating off sinks with Simon says.

[Auctioneer]

It's so crazy.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Commercials, like, so nuts. I'm taking the back end royalties on Simon says.

[Auctioneer]

Get the up. Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host]

I don't.

[Auctioneer]

But I'm just going off like. I ain't gonna lie. Keep It Thorough is one of my favorite records ever.

[Co-host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's probably Simon says up there too.

[Auctioneer]

Don't get it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Top five, Alchemist B2. Yeah, yeah.

[Auctioneer]

It's like, it's up. It's like one of my favorite records ever, bro.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

When I first heard that, I was like, my. What does he be thinking about? What do you smoke when you.

[Co-host]

I was so.

[Auctioneer]

One of my dopest hip hop moments. Not to throw you off. One of my double sip by moments. Simple as it sounds. I did a freestyle on. Was it. I think it was Hell on Earth. No, no. Or was it Shook Once? One of them. One of them classic mob deep beats. I did a long freestyle on the. And I was like, yo, I called P. I was like, I just want you to make a cameo in the video. I was just shooting a freestyle video with Dolo. He's like, hey, babe, where you at? I was in a park in Queens.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He pulled up Dolo.

[Auctioneer]

It was just me and him on a park bench, just chilling the scene for video. I thought that was the most amazing shit ever. I was like, it's me and Prodigy on a park bench in Queens.

[Co-host]

In the hood, it don't get dolosing that well, I guess.

[Auctioneer]

Like a bear or some shit. I was like, this is amazing. I have a great life.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Imagine you just mind your business, going to the park to play ball or whatever.

[Auctioneer]

And me and Prodigy just chilling.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Prodigy and Grass.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Like, bro, it was. I'm like this. I'm just looking at him like, yo, you really here? You do. We just both do on the Queens.

[Co-host]

If you was ever blessed to just meet him and kick it with him, that's. That's him all the way.

[Auctioneer]

I'm telling you. He pulled up Dolo, literally. Dolo on a park bench in the hood in Queens.

[Co-host]

Just. Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

One cameraman is too dark to even get the right amount of light in his head. It's fucking amazing. Like, life Is great.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Did you read his book?

[Auctioneer]

Nah, but I need to. You read it?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, I read it. And I would actually suggest doing the audiobook because P. Is Do. Is. It's his voice. So. Yeah. It just makes the way better.

[Auctioneer]

But that's fine.

[Co-host]

I might have to check that out.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's one of the best reads ever.

[Auctioneer]

That's amazing. I did not even notice.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But it's funny you bring that up, because in the book, there's like a whole chapter of just Havoc, like, begging Pete to stop hanging out in the hood. Like, words. Stop it. Like, dog, you go there every day. We have money.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Stop leaving our crib in Long island to go to Queensbridge.

[Auctioneer]

Like, bro, he put. He pulled. I was in the hood. He pulled love. He said, where you at? I told him I was at pull up. We in the hood on a park bench. That's park bench with Pete. I was like, come on my.

[Co-host]

That's crazy.

[Auctioneer]

That was amazing.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But, I mean, his whole family's queen's royalty.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

So. But I. I just enjoyed that moment so much. I was like, wow. I'm. I should really.

[Co-host]

That's fire. That's dope.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah. Word.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Make an album produced by Havoc or Q2.

[Auctioneer]

So yeah, yeah, yeah. Picking my faves again. This is hard. This is. This is. This is crazy. I gotta go with half because of the influence, but Q Tip is gonna give me the bag. What's Half, though? But for what I became and my influences is gonna be half for that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right. I'm gonna add another stipulation to this. They also can feature as rappers on this joint project.

[Auctioneer]

Q Tip gonna take me around the world with this. See, this guy's not fair. He has to be stopped. He has to be stopped.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Q Tip will have you in a day. Party in Ibiza.

[Auctioneer]

In Ibiza.

[Co-host]

Like, Half might too, though. Don't get it twisted. He might find one. I'm throw something on. You'll be like, yo, what is this?

[Auctioneer]

I made records with. Half have is on the project that I did with. With I. I released a. A collaborative project with. With Benny BSF and my company, Team Bang Dope Gang called Stop Calling Art Content. Half is on that joint, and half is on the last project I dropped. He produced a record on there, so I already know what I'm gonna give him Half. It's gonna be great. I never worked with Q Tip before, but I know I'm probably gonna be on the coast of Spain somewhere. He's on these records, and the album.

[Ryan Reynolds]

May never come out because Q Tip is going to work on it for the next 30 years.

[Co-host]

But when it does though have will.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Bounce some and be like, let's put it out.

[Auctioneer]

That's hilarious. But based on is my influences, it's probably gonna be half. I keep it a buck.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Word.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You can put a verse on DJ clue, the professional album or who give 50 Cent is the future.

[Auctioneer]

That's a good one too. Damn.

[Co-host]

What was the question?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Graph. Can put a verse on the professional DJ clue. First actual album or who Kid 50 Cent is the future. There's a graph feature on one of them.

[Auctioneer]

This guy be thinking I would have never thought of no like that. Balls. That's a tough one too. Professional with the Rockefeller Project. Project, right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. That's just like 30 times platinum now.

[Auctioneer]

I think I might. I might. I might just go with that just so I could just continue this. This Rockefeller that I got going on.

[Co-host]

Yeah, it ties in.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah. It just ties in. But Wookie, that. That's. That's the whole. That's. That's my side of Queens too. That's the whole. Yeah, that's Shadyville all the way to south side. That's the whole. That's the whole side. North and South.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Jesus. You twisted my arm here, buddy. But I'll probably go with the clue because of the. Because of what the I created last year. Yeah. That's the only reason.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Woo. Kid is shout out to the same. Yeah, shout out to Wookie. I just seen the recently too.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's the start of your career. You can sign a Steve Stout or Irv Gotti.

[Auctioneer]

Oh, shout out to Irv, man. Recipes, y'.

[Co-host]

All. Absolutely.

[Auctioneer]

I did three records with Irv in my career, man. Shout out to Irvine Word. I never worked with Steve style before, but that's Nas and I mean probably.

[Ryan Reynolds]

The best brand partnership.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, I'm gonna get. I'm have Coca Cola behind me. I'm gonna have Pepsi. I'm have. The brand partnership is gonna be out the ass. Word. Like I'm gonna get like this mic gonna be sponsored by like I already know what's gonna happen with Steve's doubt. Damn. I might have to go with Steve for that. For that.

[Co-host]

That.

[Auctioneer]

That I haven't even tapped into yet career wise. And I never had an opportunity to work with Steve before. I worked my. That's. I worked with herbs. I already know I'm gonna get bangers. Irv is. Irv is amazing the way he worked. I learned a lot from Irv too in a little bit of time. I worked him that ass, so I've experienced that. So I'm gonna go with Steve because I never.

[Co-host]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

This.

[Ryan Reynolds]

This is a random question just for the room in particular. Again, remember, time does not exist in. In this whole worlds. Would you rather see 50 Cent signed to death row in 1996, but like 25 year old 50 like right when.

[Auctioneer]

His career 6 with pocket all that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

50 signed to death row 96 or Nikki signs to Murder Inc. In 2001.

[Auctioneer]

Oh, now I'll go with the 50 with that one.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Nikki on Murder Inc. You got if.

[Co-host]

Nicki Minaj and JA rules to have some records.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Ashanti like yo, Nicki in 01 because.

[Auctioneer]

They were making more softer records. She was still doing hard then.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But I mean singles were that way. But they were still.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, they were still making hard too. Oh, let me think. But you putting 50. 50 already came out with the West Coast. He already came out with that type of energy, to be honest. That's a part of his legacy too. He already went with that one, but less chaos.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So with him. With him.

[Auctioneer]

With Pac actually like with Pac.

[Co-host]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Auctioneer]

With the mentality he had.

[Co-host]

I don't think we've ever seen anybody.

[Auctioneer]

Brought Pac to the hood.

[Co-host]

Yeah, of course. What I mean, slowly Pac was in.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Queens all the time was Stretch.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Pac would have brought 50 to Queens.

[Co-host]

You never been over here.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I just think the mayhem that would imagine 50 Cent and Suge that have.

[Auctioneer]

Been nuts see it. That would have been crazy. That would have been. That have been crazy with his mentality then. Yeah, I would have been. They would have been. The industry would have been up. Nikki with Murder Inc. I never even had that thought in my life. Did she even have records with them? Ashanti and all of that? Nah.

[Co-host]

Right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

She came away.

[Auctioneer]

I didn't even have life.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm just thinking of Nikki. I think that would. There'd be a whole different story to Murder Inc. And the June like 50s not getting murder in clean out of here that easy. If you have Nikki carrying the flag in the midst of that entire thing.

[Co-host]

True.

[Auctioneer]

But then Nikki, they're making different records. So I'm trying to. That's how I'm trying to think. Yeah. Because urban reducing them. You have Ashanti, you have Java. I'm like, I'm trying to picture it in my head now. I don't know. I can't even. I'm thinking about the records they made and then putting Nikki on it. And I'm like, I don't Know if I wanted to hear that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

I don't know what you think I would want to hear. I could hear 50 and PAC though.

[Co-host]

Oh yeah, definitely.

[Auctioneer]

Because the alignment was there.

[Co-host]

Yeah. But I just. I think that Nikki with Irv and.

[Auctioneer]

That would have been crazy because then Nick. Irv would have catered to Nicki. So maybe they would have created some shit that I can't even imagine keeping it running. I'm just going off what exists already.

[Co-host]

Yeah. You think about the energy with Pac and 50.

[Auctioneer]

That's what I'm thinking about. The energy that they would have brought. Pac, 50 and Suge would have been some other shit. The industry would have been fucked up.

[Co-host]

Like lock the doors.

[Auctioneer]

You know what I mean?

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

But I'm trying to think about what sound they would have created at Murder Inc. With Nikki. I don't know. I can't. I guess I can't imagine it clearly.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I mean, I feel like even a lot of the Young Money, it would.

[Auctioneer]

Have been a different sound. It doesn't exist. It would have been different. Yeah, it would have been. Because the Young Money sound and Irv sound is different. The regular.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But I don't think.

[Auctioneer]

Because it's should have been a different artist by now. I think it would have been something else.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't even think Young Money sounds the same way without Murder Inc. Though, of course it's completely different sounds. But that melodic that Drake, Nikki and Wayne all did was the proof came from Irving.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, true.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Like you could have hard raps.

[Auctioneer]

I feel like everybody got that formula, including 50 from urban. They invented that shit. Ja was doing the quick four bar bridges. Ja was the first artist I ever seen that was doing bridges in the middle of his verses and shit like that. I was like, what the fuck is this? He was doing quick four bar bridges in the beginning. In the middle he was like. He had vamp outs. They were like structured like R B records. But because of him and Irv.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

So Nikki would have all those elements too. Yeah, that's a good question. Balls.

[Co-host]

I think. I think artists for. Just. For the art of it in the music. I would want to hear Nikki.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. That'd have been something. So we can go with Nikki with that?

[Co-host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Because I would have. She would have been. Yeah, it would have been some whole other. That I can't even imagine. Yeah, bet. All right. It.

[Co-host]

I'll take Nikki.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, we'll do that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Mall has had this segment came up with Same Night, Same City. I don't know if you had some in mind. I have a few written down for your same night, same city segment. Essentially, this is. These shows are happening the exact same night in the exact same city, and you have to choose which one that you would go to.

[Co-host]

But me, no graph. Somehow he would make it to both. Somehow this guy would be at both of the shows and he'd be like, yo, how. How is this happening?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, then I'll rework this one too. Who do you think's gonna have a better show? Same night, same city.

[Auctioneer]

All right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Queensbridge reunion show or a South side reunion show?

[Auctioneer]

Oh, man, what's wrong with this guy? What are we doing, Maul? How are we gonna stop him?

[Co-host]

That's tough.

[Auctioneer]

Oh, man.

[Co-host]

I mean, me, my first. My knee jerk answer is Queensbridge.

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, right. Cause you got nas. You got. That's gonna be crazy.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Mega Shan.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You still get CNN.

[Co-host]

Like I'm going.

[Auctioneer]

Cool. You still get CNN. South. South show is 50. You got lost boys. You got Onyx. Onyx. I'm gonna be there as.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Cheat code. I have to go with that. Cause I'm gonna be in that. Like, you know.

[Co-host]

So you would be at both. You would find a way. Both shows will start at 9pm sharp. Graphics. Gonna be at both shows and performing at both shows and performing. How did. There. I just saw him on Southside. Yeah, but not me.

[Auctioneer]

20 minute drive. I'm gonna do it.

[Co-host]

Me being, you know.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Which one would you rather do security at?

[Co-host]

Oh, man. Give me.

[Auctioneer]

They both gonna be wild though.

[Co-host]

They both gonna be wild, but I.

[Auctioneer]

South side one. Southside one. Probably gonna be wilder though, I would think.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Queensbridge is a little. Because I feel like as head of security, I feel like I could get the nods. I'm like, yo, come on, man. Like, calm the fellas down. The south side, the south side show, you not getting to nobody till my calm down.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Are we all forgetting Wind? All of Queensbridge went to Central park and ruined that nod. Shut Central park down.

[Co-host]

Yeah, but that's cause somebody didn't get the nods first to be like, yo, fam, come on, talk to the guys, man.

[Auctioneer]

That's a good question, though. I'm gonna have to be biased and go with the Southside show, man. That's just me being biased, though. Keep it a hundred, okay? Cause I want to see both. And I'm gonna make it to both. It's 20 minute ride. I'm gonna make it to both. That's a fact.

[Co-host]

No warrior mouth.

[Auctioneer]

I gotta join out right now with Busta. It's Called Juice. Shout out to Busta. We made some high energy legend. Fucking Drill UK sounds like some UK Jamaican Drill should. We just invented some that doesn't exist. And it's out now and we shooting a video Friday. Yeah, I gonna get that. You know what I'm saying? Bustling my brother, man. Shout out to bro. See, like, my bus is, like, legit. My big brother, man. I know buses. I was like 17, 18 years old, man. When I first met Boss, I didn't know nothing about the industry. It's fresh out the hood. And I started working with him, actually. Damn it. Dropped out of college to tour with him and work with him. And we ended up having a fucking fist fight back then.

[Co-host]

You and Buster?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

I was like 18, 19 years old. I popped into the studio, like, without telling him. He was talking to me crazy. I was like, step outside. Fuck it. And he stepped outside. We got it on.

[Co-host]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hold on, hold on.

[Auctioneer]

It's really happened.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Too quick of a story.

[Auctioneer]

It's really happened.

[Co-host]

You got mad at something Buster said. Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

I thought he was talking to me because I popped up. He got mad that I showed up.

[Co-host]

Oh, you just popped up at his session?

[Auctioneer]

Yeah, but he said because I didn't understand the industry rules.

[Co-host]

Okay, got it.

[Auctioneer]

18, 19. I don't know, about nine.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

He said you could call me whenever. I like, bet. So I did that. He ain't pick up. So I was like, I ain't pick up. I'm just gonna show up. And he was like, what are you doing here? I was like, well, you said I could pull up. He's like, yeah, but I didn't pick up. That's why I showed up. He was like, if I didn't pick up, that means okay, not today, okay? And I didn't understand that. I'm like, yeah, you ain't pick up. So I showed up.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Auctioneer]

Because I didn't understand this industry at all. Yeah, straight in the hood. I don't know nothing about nothing. He was talking to me away. I ain't like it. And I said it. Let's step outside. And he's like, all right. And we went outside and things went left. I swung, he swung. I tried to stab with a knife. All this crazy. It was crazy. He broke a bottle.

[Co-host]

The song is available now. Yo, grab the stickest ever. He said, yeah, touch that Bus. A song available now, right now.

[Auctioneer]

I flicked the knife. He broke a bottle. It was like a Jamaican west side Story. Went left.

[Co-host]

Jamaican west side Story Went left. Yo, graph is the most Random, man. I'm telling you, yo.

[Auctioneer]

I'm telling you.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Auctioneer]

First he came down. First he came after this. He tried to talk me off the ledge. He was talking sensibly to me.

[Co-host]

I didn't.

[Auctioneer]

I couldn't register that. I was just young, and I was just young, ignorant. I couldn't understand. He like, yo, he said. The first thing he said was, you came in here on some street shit. I'm trying to teach you some business shit, right? And for some reason that sounded offensive to me. I was like, fuck, you can't teach me shit. That's young.

[Co-host]

Yeah, that's young.

[Auctioneer]

He was like, I was just young, ignorant. He was like, nigga, you came in on some street shit. I'm trying to teach you how to be a businessman. You come in with the wrong energy. And for some reason, I kept taking it, like, just hearing it wrong. Yeah, it just sounded offensive. I'm like, you mean you can't teach me nothing?

[Co-host]

Yeah, let's go outside.

[Auctioneer]

He was like, it. Let's go outside.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So we just went there once. We're outside.

[Co-host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. West side Story.

[Ryan Reynolds]

A square up or how did the physical altercation.

[Auctioneer]

It was like a square up. It was a square up.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Or did somebody just stall on somebody?

[Auctioneer]

First? I think I pushed him first. Then he swung, then I swung. And then when he did any of those.

[Ryan Reynolds]

See, you're going too fast. Did any of those land or the first. Okay.

[Auctioneer]

And when he swung, I kind of, like, ducked it and slipped. He thought he caught me, and then I got mad. Cause he thought. He called me. Then I shot the knife.

[Co-host]

Yeah, we don't talk about that. We don't talk about when somebody feel like they caught you and dropped you. You like, yo, you ain't dropped.

[Auctioneer]

That's a whole.

[Co-host]

Another fight.

[Auctioneer]

His cause, like, nigga, you ain't catching me.

[Co-host]

I was like, nah, I got resorted to this knife. It's time to go to the knife.

[Auctioneer]

He's like, nigga, you got a knife. He broke a bottle. It was like, I don't know how. It didn't go left after that. Nobody died. We said, hey, we made a song. We alive.

[Co-host]

No, the song's available now.

[Auctioneer]

We lie.

[Co-host]

We lie. We live through this.

[Auctioneer]

We made a song about it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So once the bottle is broken and the knife is out. How did this situation diffuse?

[Auctioneer]

I don't remember that part. I just know nobody got stabbed, which is great.

[Co-host]

That's amazing. Yeah. I'm so glad Graff and Busta didn't stab each other up on a Manhattan block. Me too.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Life works out if something tells me Busta called you the next day and forgot any of that even happened.

[Auctioneer]

No, no, no. We used to be. For years after that, he was like, yeah, yeah. Cause he was like, he wanted to sign me. Then he was like, this nigga's a liability. You're high head, you gotta pull off.

[Co-host]

Yeah, but that's how fast shit happens.

[Auctioneer]

But I'm learning, see. Went from that to like realizing certain battles I don't need to be in because I don't got to self control certain.

[Co-host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Auctioneer]

I choose my battles wisely now.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I get it in Bus Team. Like, yeah, no, we want to sign Graph. He tried to stab me. When he.

[Auctioneer]

When he tell. When he tells the story and be like this backed the knife for me, I'm like, you broke a bottle too? Yeah, he broke a bottle. After this, I got a stab. I poked out a knife and he was like, oh, that ran for you.

[Co-host]

Yeah, but what choice did he forget that part?

[Auctioneer]

I mean, you try to stab me.

[Co-host]

Back, and I feel like only Buster could break a bottle perfectly and then.

[Auctioneer]

Perfectly perfect amount of spice.

[Co-host]

You ever tried that? You ever tried to break the whole break? Like, I don't have nothing to stab nobody with. How do you break it so perfectly? It's like, it's a point.

[Auctioneer]

Like, I make it.

[Co-host]

It worked out. Yo, that is. Song available now.

[Auctioneer]

Song available now.

[Co-host]

[Co-host]

Yo, listen, man. Life is beautiful, man.

[Auctioneer]

Life is wonderful.

[Co-host]

Life is beautiful.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I guess we have to ask the same question. We ask everyone that has a relationship with Busta. Where. Where do you rate him in the top five Dappers of all time?

[Co-host]

Buster shake your hand, he'll break your hand. Shoulder, elbow. Yeah, Busta give you that.

[Auctioneer]

That real with the mad diamond ring.

[Co-host]

Yeah, you gotta be. Yeah, you gotta be prepared to shake Busta hand.

[Auctioneer]

Buster actually in my top five. I mean, I need to have a top seven because I got a lot of my cadence and flows and delivery from Bus. The way I construct records, a lot of that sh. Came from Buzz. I took a lot of what I do from the way he constructs records. A lot of it.

[Co-host]

Or.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, you said Prodigy was in your top six, so I made it seven it because it's.

[Auctioneer]

It's I got Nas, J. Royce, M, Jadakiss, Prodigy, and Busta. All the. Isn't it? So my top five is the top seven.

[Co-host]

That's a very interesting top seven word.

[Auctioneer]

Like, most don't got Royce in a top five. Royce is my top five. I got Royce and M in my top five. They both. All the people influenced what I do.

[Co-host]

[Ryan Reynolds]

Speaking of love, Sponge Peach is a segue God on the Speaking of Love, SpongeBob. Matt Leiner did a. Was it a podcast or interview? And said he fumbled Rihanna because he had a little herp on his mouth.

[Co-host]

He said that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He said he had a. A lip blister, like a sun blister when they went out on a date. And she was just like, nah, I'm cool. You got some on your lip.

[Co-host]

That on your lip.

[Host]

Got some shit on his lip.

[Co-host]

That on your lip. Got some on your lip. Damn, that's. Yo, you talking about bad timing. You got a date with Rihanna and then you get a blister.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, I'm. I'm killing a grandparent. Something. Something's happening for me to push that date.

[Co-host]

Oh, God.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Somebody's dying in my story.

[Host]

You gotta cut the lip. Cut the blister off the lip.

[Co-host]

Cut the blister off.

[Host]

You gotta put a. A lighter to a knife and cut the blister off the lip, bro. You got to just go with a band aid. You gotta go.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But that's like, some bold and even people have had lip blisters. Doesn't mean it's herpes. It's like anything like that. But to go on a date date with that shit on your lip is the boldest thing I've ever seen. Imagine sitting across from somebody be like, yo, before we talk, you have something on your lip. Like, can we address this before we talk? Yeah, before this starts working out and we get to know each other. Like, what is. What's going on there? I think it's a fair question to ask somebody on a date.

[Co-host]

Yeah, but not Rihanna. Nah, dawg, you had to cancel.

[Host]

You gotta cancel.

[Co-host]

You. There's no way you could let Rihanna see you like that. I'm canceling that. That's crazy.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I might fake kill my own mother in that stories.

[Co-host]

But the bigger. Hold on, but before we get to the. The. On your lip, Matt, I wasn't familiar with his game. How did he even get to the point where he had a date with Rihanna?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Let's not act like Matt Leiner is not Matt Leiner. Like, and if this especially.

[Co-host]

Listen, Matt.

[Host]

Who's Matt Leiner?

[Co-host]

See, can you tell me? Perfect.

[Host]

I'm a girl.

[Co-host]

And I'm like, but that's perfect, though. You just have one of the most.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Eligible bachelors from USC at one time in all of Los Angeles.

[Host]

Okay.

[Co-host]

Yeah, he was a big deal.

[Host]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hoes was moving Reggie Bush out the way to get to him.

[Host]

Okay, what does he look like? Josh, can you pull him up, please?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Gorgeous man. He is a unit, too. He's not quite Brady unit, but I don't act. Don't act like you ain't think number 11 was getting hoes.

[Co-host]

Oh, no, man was out there in the US he was in ufc taking them down for sure. For sure.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And got that contract because, I mean, that was probably around the time Rihanna came out, right? That was like, oh, oh.

[Co-host]

Two, three, early 2000s, for sure. Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. You don't think on the replay is not going on a date with Matt Lyra?

[Co-host]

Like, that's just crazy. Now I'm saying that type of fumble is legend. That's the. That's the biggest fumble in history right there. That much might be. That might be the biggest fumble in history. I mean, but because you had a. A blister on your lip, like, oh, my. It can't be any. It doesn't get worse than that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And, you know, Rihanna said something immediately that's so.

[Co-host]

That's so big of a fumble. If he. If he said that, like, in conversation, like, right here, I wouldn't even believe him. I'm like, imagine saying anything on this. That's how big that fumble is. Like, that did not happen. The universe doesn't hate you that much. Like, the day you have a date with Rihanna, you wake up and it's a blister on your lip. Wow.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Is there. I mean, do they have, like, lip makeup or something?

[Co-host]

You just can't go, bro.

[Host]

You can't go.

[Co-host]

You gotta just fumble.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Just hope that it's. It's dimly lit and she won't see.

[Co-host]

But do you tell Rihanna why you gotta cancel?

[Host]

Nah, you make up something.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Just kill a family.

[Host]

You got a bad cold.

[Co-host]

You don't want bad cold. That ain't gonna. That ain't gonna cancel the date with Rihanna over no bad cold. I'm gonna show up coughing and shit.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Sneezing at the table.

[Co-host]

Yeah, I'm showing up coughing, headache, all of that. I'm not canceling a date with Rihanna because I got a cold. I'm a fucking football player. Are you kidding me?

[Host]

Like a cold, a stomach virus. I'd rather Rihanna think I was shitting on myself than I had herpes.

[Co-host]

You heard what silly said? Nothing but death could keep me from it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yep.

[Co-host]

The only way I'm. I died. That's the only reason I didn't go on a date with Rihanna. I'm dead. I woke up dead.

[Host]

You can't wake up dead.

[Co-host]

I woke up dead. Not canceling no date with Rihanna. You couldn't For a cold. No bump on your lip. It. Because there's no. What are we gonna do? We can't not talk about this bump on your lip. And then what do you tell Rihanna? Like, yo, kissing some girl last night got crazy. Cause that bump on your lip. We don't talk about that. Like, what is that mall. I'm just saying. I've never had that. All right, never mind.

[Host]

Thank you. You bit your tongue.

[Co-host]

You a. I bit the out my tongue in my sleep. My still hurt. And your sleep I don't like. You know one of those things you just jump in your sleep. I bit the out my. My tongue's still numb on the left side.

[Host]

Did it bleed?

[Co-host]

Hell, yeah. I tasted that. I didn't get up, though. It woke me up by my sleep, and I was like, it. I just went back to sleep, like.

[Host]

But I. Throbbing tongue. Throbbing tongue.

[Co-host]

Throbbing. Felt like I had a pulse, a heartbeat in my tongue.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You ever about to eat some and have to ask a girl, that's. That's an ingrown, right?

[Co-host]

Yo, what's up?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm the only one, right?

[Co-host]

What's up, man?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Everyone quiet, like. Yeah, I'm the only one.

[Co-host]

What you going through, man? You all right.

[Host]

I know you ain't ask her.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Y' all lying, like.

[Host]

Cause I know you ain't ask her that. I know you kept licking.

[Co-host]

He just put his thumb on it and just kept.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I just won't lick in that area. Covering it for yourself is insane.

[Co-host]

Put his thumb on it. You nasty ass white boy. You just put your thumb on it and kept licking.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Listen, man. No blisters on the lip. Woke up good.

[Co-host]

Woke up good. I'm still good. Hey, Matt. That's the biggest fumble in the history, though, and he might have a Big in game Fumble. But it still was. This is the biggest Fumble ever. This is crazy. I had a bump on my lips, so I couldn't go on a date with Rihanna.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Worse than living.

[Co-host]

Nobody's gonna believe me.

[Host]

You know what would piss me off about being famous is, like, niggas getting on podcasts and talking about the fact that they had a chance with me when I was fucking a teenager. Like, you know, when I was a teenager. That will really piss me off. Like, why? Because I don't. Like, why. Why you bringing. I'm like, I'm damn near married now. I got two kids. Like, what?

[Co-host]

But if somebody asks. All right, but if somebody asks you, yo, what's the biggest Fumble in your life?

[Host]

You could have left my name out. You would have left my name out. You could have said it.

[Co-host]

Yeah, but that. If I leave the name out, that ain't the biggest Fumble.

[Host]

One of the biggest.

[Co-host]

When you say the name, that's the Fumble. Like, who you Fumble. Yo, I don't blame him. He's huge artist. Huge artist. Like, at the time, you know, we were talking, she wanted to go on a date. She's a huge artist. Like, that don't land the same. When you say, yo, Rihanna wanted to go on a date. Niggas is like, what? You Fumble Rihanna. That's the Fumble. Rihanna.

[Host]

I get it. I'm not. He didn't do anything wrong. I'm not saying he, you know, he did anything wrong. I'm just like, bro, that would annoy the out of me about being famous.

[Co-host]

Oh, well, yeah.

[Host]

Cause I don't even want nobody knowing that you had my phone. Like, chill.

[Co-host]

Like, why the man ain't no even.

[Host]

Still, like, just sometimes, like, women, we just look back like, oh, what was I doing? Like, it doesn't. You saying, Matt ain't. No, that doesn't matter. It's just sometimes you just don't want to be reminded of who the fuck you didn't gave your phone number to or who you was about to go out with.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Honestly, I'm sure Rihanna's probably hitting her group chat. Like, finally I can talk about this publicly. Because, you know, she told all her friends. That's probably been a running joke for the last 15 years.

[Co-host]

Yeah, that is crazy.

[Host]

Bumpy Johnson.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He has a nickname.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God. You and Rihanna's group chat is Bumpy Johnson. Oh, just kill yourself, Matt.

[Degree Advertiser]

Damn.

[Host]

Yo, this we name in our group chats, man.

[Co-host]

Big jeans, Big.

[Host]

Oh, baggy condom. Cargo condom.

[Co-host]

Nah, Cargo condom is craziness.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Be trying to Wear magnums. Say that as a joke. That's about somebody specific, for sure.

[Co-host]

Hargo condom is crazy. That is the craziest cargo condom.

[Host]

This one used to insist on wearing magnums and couldn't fit them.

[Ryan Reynolds]

His dick was in a sleeping bag.

[Co-host]

Yo, that is. Oh, my God, bro. Yo, that. I got secondhand embarrassment for this person. I don't even know what this is. It's being cargo condom in a girl's phone.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I. I'd rather just die. Like, honestly, that's what I'm saying. I really, like. I probably rather die because that's not.

[Host]

Let's just put a lifestyle on. Like, why you wanna. Oh, I got the magnum. You don't need that. It's mad ruminant there.

[Co-host]

It's mad room.

[Host]

It's a mad room in there. A whole another dick could fit in there.

[Co-host]

What you doing? Shoot me. Shoot me now. What? Damn, dog.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I. I want to say hope this gentleman is still alive, but he's probably killed himself.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God.

[Host]

N. He's still alive and kicking.

[Co-host]

Baggy condom and all.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, like, you could have saved some money and just got free NYC condom.

[Co-host]

Finding out a girl has you saved in her phone as cargo condom.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think still beat, though, to me, is the response to everything. I. I don't even think still beat, though works as a comeback to them now.

[Co-host]

Still. Still beat is still the greatest response to any of that, because it's like, yeah, you let him stuff that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Look how you. You beat, though.

[Host]

Nah, but my homegirl, she told him to put in her ass. She was the first person he ever did anal with. Because it's like. It's like a thumb. Like, if you're gonna try anal, you should try, you know, with a little dick. So she just told him to, like, do anal with her.

[Co-host]

Yo, let me explain something to y' all right now, dog. Let me explain something to y' all right now. If I ever find out a girl told me to do anal because my dick was little, I'm killing her entire.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Said that so casually. That didn't make it 10 times worse.

[Co-host]

I'm killing her entire cousin's gotta die her, dog. Everybody gotta die. Not the dog, yo. Put it in my butt. Cause your dick lit.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And, like, imagine getting that call. Like, she want to have anal sex.

[Co-host]

Like, bet.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Can't wait. Then you get there and find out you were only selected because you meet small.

[Host]

I don't think she said that to him. She didn't tell him it's because his meat was small, but that's why she told us. That's why.

[Co-host]

Yo, women. Y' all are evil.

[Host]

What?

[Co-host]

I didn't say his name, y'. All. No, not y' all even gotta please, though. But y'. All. Y' all are evil, man.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Also, wanting to do anal that bad is hilarious.

[Co-host]

You'll put it in my butt because it's small.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm gonna go find a candidate with a little dick because I want to do anal so bad. No, but also, I don't think it was like that.

[Host]

I think she just came into contact with him and was like, well, I don't feel nothing in my vagina. So she just was like, just put.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It in my butt.

[Co-host]

That is a crazy.

[Ryan Reynolds]
