Cut the shit. You don't want to go to Gay Juve. Cut the, man.

Because you don't want to go. You've never been. That's hard.

I've been to Juve, yo.

[B]

I'm like, you can, though.

[C]

Why? We all have to learn something Sometimes we don't all know everything.

[D]

They got a lot of corporate sponsors.

[C]

Oh, you better believe it.

[D]

Look at that.

[C]

Target tar.

[B]

I mean, L'Oreal's been there since the beginning.

[C]

Yeah. You know that. L'Oreal's grandfather didn't.

[B]

They started this.

[C]

Holy.

[B]

I really hope we're not coming off as ignorant as I think we are, because I really do want to celebrate. They love our listeners.

[C]

We love them for sure. They. Whoever they may be, we love them all.

[B]

I mean, Eminem came back just in time, right?

[C]

Yo, listen, man, because, you know, I.

[B]

Gave a laughing mood today.

[C]

I gave Julian some last week. He had. You know, Julian had. Has been very vocal about his dislike of Eminem's music over the years and how much he feels like Eminem is overrated. And, you know, and I gave him some. I'm like, listen, man, we can't. Can't do that. Eminem is. He's a legend. He's a goat. He in his, you know, in his prime. He's done things in music that a lot of artists have not been able to do and still can't do. So we can't take away from what he's done. But we can only go off of your last effort on these. Your latest effort, right? Your latest and your greatest. So Eminem dropped the single last week, Houdini. And I'll never listen to that record again in my life. I'm gonna just put that out there.

[B]

Wait. Why not?

[C]

That.

[B]

This is what Everyone wanted, right? We wanted the old Eminem back. He did it word for fucking word.

[C]

No, that.

[B]

He remade a video that everyone claimed to love before.

[C]

No, this is. But, yeah, but this. This. This is not it, man. This is. This is not it. Not. And I get it, you know, trying to say things for shock value and, you know, getting all of that. You know, I understand that whole angle, but it's just not good music.

[D]

Are you sure? Because I was gonna walk back everything I said. I really love this record. He is the goat. My bad, guys. I'm sorry.

[C]

It's just all of Michigan.

[B]

What do you guys want from Eminem?

[C]

I just.

[B]

He went back to the old Slim Shady. If this isn't it, then it wasn't it before. Because this is what everyone loves, which.

[A]

Is what I said.

[B]

This is what y'all wanted.

[C]

I don't want the old Slim Shady. I want who Slim Shady. I want who Eminem is today again. But I just want it in a. In a creative and tell a friend, good music way.

[B]

Guess who's back.

[C]

Oh, no.

[D]

I said, this is like. This effort reminded me of when Disney and Pixar rooms, when they were like, oh, Marvel will make us 20x. Let's just flip the same script 40 times.

[A]

Yeah, that was good.

[D]

Eminem lifted the same old Hollywood trope. This is what they love me for. I'm going to do it again. Forty years later, you know, his fucking ass.

[C]

I think I figured it out, though, with Eminem. I don't know what Eminem does in his personal life. I don't know what he does for fun. I don't know what he does to just get away from music, but I'm willing to. I'm willing to bet he doesn't, because we've never seen pictures or video of Eminem, like, on vacation. No, we've never seen pictures of him, like, you know, just having a good time somewhere. I don't know if Eminem's lifestyle allows him to make good music today.

[B]

What do you want the Turk song from Em?

[C]

No, I don't. No, I don't need that. But I'm just saying I think that you have.

[B]

You want his Afrobeats?

[C]

No, I think in order to be an artist that makes good music, I think that you have to. Especially if you're an older guy now. I think your lifestyle has to be just a little interesting. Like, you have to be doing things that allows your thought process and your creativity to flow in a different way, in a more mature way. Obviously, I'm not Asking Eminem to rap like a 20 year old kid anymore. But I don't think his lifestyle. I don't know if Eminem his experiences today would be interesting to hear through music.

[D]

No, but mom would.

[C]

Which is why he would dig back into the past and try to recreate that moment. Because what he does now and his lifestyle now I don't think is interesting enough to rap about.

[D]

It's low hanging fruit. The move he did on this was so lazy. I think it's just like it's. It's so ridiculous and I could be wrong.

[C]

It fits into the theme though.

[B]

He's bringing back Slim Shady to kill him. So like he has to bring back the same.

[C]

I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that like angle. But this music, this, this Houdini, it's just not good music.

[D]

He said in the spirit of pride. He said my transgender cats Siam identifies as black, but acts Chinese.

[B]

I did call that bar. I don't know if it was on Patreon last episode, but I knew we were going to get a horrible trans.

[D]

Here's another, here's another favorite of mine, bumping R. Kelly's favorite group, the Black Guy Peas.

[B]

That's a play. So there's a group called Black Eyed Peace with Will I Am, which everyone knows was R. Kelly's favorite.

[D]

He peed too.

[B]

And then he also urinated on a.

[A]

Teenage is in a so with with.

[B]

M. And I've always done this though. Why are we pretending like this is new?

[D]

This is why. Why I can stand so confidently on my hill. Because he always does the same tricks every time he drops. I was arguing with KFC all Friday because it's a song and he loved eminem.

[B]

I mean, 40 plus white guy. I mean, this is, this is bad. This is his Marvin Gay.

[C]

It's like this is his Stevie Wonder.

[D]

And kind of where we ended up is he's like, oh, so you're too sophisticated to get it? And I was like. Or like not to get it, but to like feel like he was joking with you. I think because I sang.

[B]

There's no way KFC was defending Eminem that way.

[D]

I'm saying you just don't show you the text. No, he's like, oh, so you're just too sophisticated now, like you're high and mighty to like see the good in this. I was like, kind of. Because when I was 10, that black guy R. Kelly bar maybe would have been funny. I'm 31. Like, this sucks. This is ass.

[A]

It sucked. Then, too. But nobody wants.

[D]

But I said to him, I was like, this is like when you watch a movie from Nickelodeon when you're, like, 13. I was like, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. And then you watch it 10 years later, you're like, oh, this is fun. That was funny because I was a kid.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Sucks.

[B]

Now, do you think your lord and savior, Kanye west, over the last seven.

[D]

Or eight years, giving up on Kanye. Don't do that.

[B]

Has continued to make horrible, immature metaphors and bars in his music that are well past his age.

[A]

Yeah, but nobody calls Kanye the greatest rapper of all time.

[B]

Yeah, who calls Eminem the greatest rapper of all y'all, besides me and Pete?

[A]

What do y'all think goat stands for?

[D]

All these comments?

[C]

He's like, he dissed his kids on FaceTime. That's why he's the goat.

[D]

No, that doesn't make you a good rapper because you said your kids. That's not.

[B]

I felt.

[D]

Where's the bar?

[C]

Listen, I'm, I'm. I, I. I could sit here and he's ass, bro. With Julian.

[D]

He's such a bad.

[C]

Eminem didn't give me. Eminem didn't give me nothing in this.

[A]

Houdini he gave you.

[B]

Yeah, no, I like the. I like the west side boogie cameo.

[C]

Eminem passed gun with no clip in it, man. I can't. It's like, bro, what you want me to do with this, man? I can't defend you on this.

[B]

He got Dr. Dre out of the house for this bullshit.

[C]

I can't. Like, what did you.

[A]

You feel like us after Dream Fest?

[C]

Yeah. Like, it's like, yo, what the is this?

[A]

That's how we felt.

[B]

I. I really didn't mind it.

[C]

You're right.

[D]

Stop lying, bro.

[B]

I didn't mind. It's. Out of all the bad music Eminem has given us over the past years. This isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

[C]

No, this is.

[B]

It's a remake of every Eminem single. Was it Patreon? We were talking about this. I said, I guarantee you we are going to get an awful first single like we always do from Eminem. But I still have faith in the album.

[C]

Oh, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not speaking to with the album.

[B]

This is exactly what I thought he was gonna put.

[C]

I'm only speaking to this record. And after listening to it, I listened to it one time, and I. I was like, yo, I will never listen. No, I did. I watched the video. So that's two times. But I. This is just not. Where do you listen to this at? Like, where would you. Where would a. Where would a grown man play this music at?

[A]

I have a question.

[B]

On the way to pick his kids.

[D]

Up from school on the way to kill his mom.

[A]

Why. Why is every rapper just so comfortable just making fun of Megan? Free getting shot. Like, when did we create that? Just like that. That's okay.

[C]

Yeah, I wasn't feeling that bar either.

[B]

Oh, God. All right, Gus.

[C]

I just wasn't. I wasn't feeling that well.

[B]

He said Eminem has legit love songs about murdering and raping his mother. And now we're like, damn, that was crazy what he said about Meg.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Because. Was it that crazy?

[A]

We're in a different time.

[C]

You can make songs about raping your mother.

[B]

He's.

[C]

That's your mother.

[B]

He has talked about raping multiple women that weren't his mother.

[A]

And that's your goat.

[C]

But that. But that.

[A]

It's like. Like, what are we doing here?

[D]

To be clear, because I don't know how many of our listeners listen to this shit ass song. He said, if I was to ask Megan the Stallion if she would collab with me, would I really have a shot at a feat meaning feature? I don't know, but I'm glad to be all right.

[B]

You know what I didn't like about that bar was not the bar, is the fact that he only time he put the caption in the video was for that bar to make sure we really got it.

[D]

You watch the video?

[B]

Of course I watched the video.

[C]

You got to watch the video.

[D]

I'm not watching that.

[C]

You can't listen to the song and not watch the video.

[D]

Can hardly listen to the song.

[C]

Yeah, this is just. It's not. It's just not a good song. It's not good music. I would never listen to this again. Now I'm not speaking to the album. The album may have some joints on there, and it may be a good album, but this, this single, this song, houdini and. And LeBron, I love you, but cut the shit, man.

[B]

No, LeBron. LeBron said it was too good.

[C]

LeBron cut the shit. That's my. Listen. We all love Bron Bron. Stop the bullshit. You not playing this song, Bronny. Definitely not playing. None of your kids ain't playing this music.

[B]

It's an age difference.

[C]

Like we. Yeah, that's why I'm getting today.

[B]

They don't understand it.

[C]

No, they understand.

[D]

It's like peak nostalgia. Mall. You just don't get it, bro.

[C]

Nobody in the James household is playing this song.

[B]

I really laughed by myself for over five minutes when LeBron said, It's too good.

[C]

LeBron is lying just like that.

[B]

Houdini back, bruh.

[D]

Houdini is too good.

[C]

LeBron cut the, man.

[D]

It's like he. This is like. He took this from, like, an Eminem fan word generator, because this is how every Eminem fan talks about it.

[C]

That's why he's the goat.

[B]

You know, when all the bots, like, tweet the same thing at one time?

[D]

They just.

[B]

They just folded King James into the.

[D]

They staggered the pose to make it look like it wasn't on a campaign.

[C]

We got. We got to stop that, man. That. That. This record is. This record is not good.

[B]

I think you guys are being a little too hard on him.

[D]

He said, how many little kids want to act like me? I'm a bigger prick than cacti be.

[B]

I mean, that went over your head.

[D]

You don't even see because, like, we don't even live in the Southwest, so we don't know. Like, we don't see much. Cact.

[B]

He hops on tracks like kangaroos. Like, you have to understand that kangaroos hop.

[A]

No other goat can get away with.

[C]

Like, when I heard it, I didn't even put that kangaroo top together.

[B]

What made me laugh even more is even Paul in the intro doesn't sound like he wants to do this anymore.

[C]

This is just.

[D]

He's like, we're doing this. You mean we're gonna do the Same song from 97? Sure.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It's just Paul. So I'm doing the same bit from the last 10 albums 35 years ago. All right, we took it too far. I can't be your manager, even though I am every album.

[C]

This is. Yeah, I'm cool, man. I can't write off the album. The album. Like I said, it may be good, but this record right here, what do.

[B]

You think that Shane Gillis and Royce Pod was sounding like?

[C]

Ooh, I have no idea.

[D]

I'm so sad Shane did that.

[C]

But this is. This. This Houdini record is terrible. This is a kind of like. No, you did. No, you did not. Cut the shit.

[D]

You're never listening.

[B]

No, I'm never going to listen to it again.

[C]

So you didn't like it. So fuck are you talking about if you never go listen to the song again?

[B]

You didn't like, I finished the video, and I went, yeah. And then I moved on with my day.

[C]

Yeah. Hat doesn't mean I like it, though. Hand means okay. I wish I could have those 3 minutes and 45 seconds back of my life. That's what hat means. Like, I. I could have done something else with that time. This is just not a good song. It is what it is. I. You know, it's Eminem, still a legend, but this is. This is not. This ain't. This ain't it, bro. This ain't it.

[B]

But, like, he was the Superman, like, fighting against Shady, and then they formed none of that. And they formed as one.

[C]

I get it. I don't care about none of that. This is. This. This Houdini record is trash.

[D]

It's just. It's lazy. The lyrics aside, because I. I was very confident that the song itself would be ass. It's the marketing behind it that's even more embarrassing. The end, the love.

[A]

They love me from the top to bottom is ass.

[B]

Let's bring back that. What was that meme from years ago where it's like, shh. Just let people.

[A]

Let people enjoy things.

[B]

Let the Eminem fan base, which is huge, have their moment and enjoy their superhero coming back.

[C]

I'm not telling them not to. I mean, people. Some people like it. I'm speaking for myself and those that think like me.

[D]

I wish I was at level like myself.

[C]

This ain't it.

[B]

I'm being who I think is a very talented writer starting his comeback with, well, look what the stork brung.

[A]

Little devil baby with the fork tongue and it's sticking out.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Like a sore thumb with a forehead that it grew horns.

[B]

Forehead.

[D]

Still a white jerk pulling up in a Chrysler decipher with the Vicks perks and a Bud Light shirt.

[B]

But you guys don't understand the controversy with Bud Light.

[C]

Like, that was.

[D]

Oh, because another trans joke.

[C]

Yeah, totally got it. Ford and the floorboard and the Ford Moore. I'm cool, bro.

[A]

It would be as I would be. Aspiring to break a fever. Oh, my God. Y'all didn't get that aspirin. Aspiring to break a fever. Y'all didn't even catch.

[B]

No, I didn't.

[C]

Wow. Wow. Yeah, because the word is not fever. It's fever.

[B]

It's called poetic justice.

[A]

I've definitely had a fever before.

[C]

You've never had a fever. Never in your life has a doctor.

[D]

Oh, that. That line was the lot. The. The initial. That was the penultimate shot at Meg because it was also fever, referring to her debut mixtape in 2019.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

Wow. So he set it up to talk about her feet.

[A]

Yo. Yeah. Let's stop. I don't. I don't know when it became fun to, like, make fun of. We have to stop that. That shit is, like, not okay. I know we just over it, but it's, like, not okay. Y'all wouldn't be doing that if Ariana Grande got shot.

[D]

That'd be crazy.

[C]

Sorry.

[B]

I would love to hear the Eminem bar about.

[D]

What was she doing?

[B]

Ponytail couldn't block that one, huh? See, and y'all see what?

[C]

Not joking about it.

[D]

Shy. Thinking about the whistle note she could hit.

[A]

Yeah, like, that is funny, right, Julian.

[D]

No, I. Look, this sucks. I'm with you. This is awful. Including.

[B]

I just feel like if we're going to start being mad at Eminem bars, I don't know if that's the one we're gonna. We should start at. That's all.

[D]

No, I don't.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm talking about for everybody. He's not the only person that's done it. I just want it to not just stop. It's become okay. I just want it to stop being okay. Yeah. Eminem needs to stop talking about raping and beating women, too. Like. Yeah, but as a whole, like, that's his stick.

[B]

He's just showing that he's in tune with the kids and he knows what's going on.

[C]

Eminem is 50 years old. You should not be making light of a woman getting shot in the foot.

[D]

Isn't his daughter a year younger than me?

[A]

Yeah, around the same age. You old enough to be your father?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Listen, man, it's art.

[C]

Oh, they love to hide it behind that, right? It's art. Yeah. No, this is trash.

[D]

If you don't get it, then don't listen.

[A]

Are rappers like comedians?

[C]

I'm gonna still listen to the album because I want to hear the album, but I. This song is this. This ain't it.

[A]

Are rappers like comedians where they have free reign to say whatever they want and they can't be canceled?

[D]

I don't know. I'm. Now, I don't think so, but I think there is some. At least personally, to me, some agency. You get some wiggle room with stuff because it is. You can mask it under the guise of art.

[B]

Yeah, Kim is definitely art. Well, I think this is gonna be one of those songs that once you hear it in the sequence of the album, it'll make more sense.

[C]

No, it won't.

[D]

No. Once you hear it in the club, that's when you.

[C]

I will never hear this.

[B]

I gotta hear this at the hookah spot first before I Could really understand.

[A]

No, I don't.

[C]

What?

[D]

No, no, no.

[B]

They're definitely playing this at the bottom. Like on the walk in. Like when you guys are being seated. This.

[C]

Promise you. I promise you. They're not playing this with the visual and no club.

[D]

Where do you play this record?

[C]

That's what I'm saying. Like, I. I don't even know where I would listen to this. I would never play this in the car. I'd rather listen to the engine stuck in traffic before I play this record in the car. This is terrible. It's just not. It's not. I just want to hear good music, man. Like, where the is the good music at?

[D]

Well, lucky for us, Bia.

[B]

It was a. It was a rough weekend for music. We had this. We had this coming. We had such a good May. No, we deserve this. This is how. This is how the world works. The yin and the yang. Like, the water goes out, the water comes in. This was our karma. Things were going too good for music. I don't know what's going on over there.

[A]

We laughing at you. You're being funny. You were funny. That's what we're laughing.

[B]

I feel like you're laughing at me, not with me.

[D]

We are. The water goes in. What does that even mean?

[B]

It's like a round robin. The world.

[D]

Oh, word.

[C]

All right, I'm with you here.

[B]

The tides, the moon.

[C]

I'm with you. It's all connected.

[B]

So it was high tide for all of May and the tide has to go out, right? And it has to smell like shit. And that's what we got this weekend. No, we got Low Tide by the doc. Smell of fucking music.

Beautiful ear cleanse from this weekend.

[C]

It sounded like I told Rory when I listened to it, I said this album, this project from Belly sounds like when, when Kanye was doing those eps, seven song joints.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like this would have been one of those that dropped that. Everybody would have been like, damn, that was hard. Like, this was. This was definitely a great listen. I love the fact that he incorporated artists, you know, from his, from his country to deliver this, this powerful message that needs to be spread and just happy that they, they were able to, you know, put it together and get it done.

[D]

So shout out to Belly and on the, on a similar tune, Kehlani's single Next to you.

[C]

This is what, this is what artists are supposed to.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And respect to her because she'll never talk about it, but the people she had to go against to fight for that video to come out.

[C]

Speak.

[B]

That could have potentially ruined her career within the infrastructure that she assigned to. Speaks to Kehlani's character.

[C]

Like the Kehlani.

[B]

I don't think people know what she had to fight through to be able to put that shit out. So shout out to her. Great video, great song. Looking forward to the album.

[A]

Her merch was made in Bethlehem and a family owned and run sewing work, sewing workshop. And 100% of her proceeds will be distributed amongst Palestinian, Congolese and Sudanese families.

[C]

Going to buy some merch and I'm.

[D]

Pretty sure, yeah, the merch was designed by a Palestinian designer and I think the video was directed by, I believe, a Palestinian director as well. So she just did it all. She went fully, you know, this whole process.

[C]

So love that. Shout out to Kehlani. That was beautiful.

[B]

Should we Go more to negative stuff now.

Yeah. So now that we got the beautiful. Back to the beautiful, beautiful messages of the world.

[C]

Thank you, Belly and Kehlani for spreading beautiful messages where.

[B]

Yeah, but let's talk about negativity instead.

[C]

We're going to get to this negative shit real quick. So there's a new rap beef that has occurred, and I love Baby D because, you know, she keeps me updated on what the women are doing and going through. So I came in and y'all played the Cardi remix. It's a remix with Glorilla, Cardi and Meg.

[A]

Yes, the wannabe remix. It's a Glorilla and Megan song off Glowrilla's album. But they put Cardi on the remix, so.

[C]

So that. On that verse. On Cardi's verse, she has some things directed at beer.

[B]

She had some feelings.

[C]

She had some feelings that she wanted to direct the beer because she doesn't have a phone number. So of course she had to put it in.

[B]

Of course.

[C]

Put in the song so that she could hear it.

[B]

It's art, man.

[C]

Yeah. So she has some words for beer and then be Some words for.

[D]

You want to read. Do you want to read the.

[C]

Okay, I'll read it.

[A]

You don't got to read the.

[C]

Yeah, is this. This is Cardi.

[D]

This is Cardi. The very end of her verse.

[C]

Had no idea idea thought she was on the shelf ikea, ikea Hope she talk like that when I see her Bitch, please don't nobody want to be ya Ah, cheap looking asshole, weak looking asshole Great value me looking asshole Girl, these bitches be pushing Great scheme Delete every tweet Looking asshole Great value me Big Bronx shit that's big Bronx energy.

[B]

I actually like Carti's verse a lot on this song. This song is fire to me.

[C]

The verse sounded good. Y'all just played the record from you earlier, so the verse sounded good. So then Bia, like.

[B]

I mean, did you catch the entendre of don't nobody want to be and Bia's name is Bia.

[C]

I caught all of that.

[B]

If you didn't know Bia's. Bia's name is Bia? Yeah, and it's Bia with. But she said it like an accent, so it sounded like Bia thought she was on a shelf.

[A]

Ikea. Cause, like, her label shelved her.

[C]

I speak Bronx. I speak Bronx. I know what Cardi was getting to.

[B]

And that's fucked up because you have to build the IKEA shelves.

[C]

That's a fact.

[B]

Like, she's on a shelf that's unbuilt.

[C]

Yeah. So, like, they just threw her. Yeah, like you in a box, just sitting there. And then be like the MC that she is. Sorry, she found up.

[B]

So you can't do that around her because, you know, she's bardi gang.

[C]

No, no.

[B]

She came in here with an agenda.

[C]

Yeah, she's body gang.

[D]

Reaction.

[A]

I have not decided anything.

[C]

Baby D is body gang for sure. For sure. We don't even gotta. We don't gotta talk about that. But beer, she got straight into her rap and was like, okay, all these tweet tweets and ig. So I'm going to the booth.

[B]

Mavs in four, she got.

[C]

She found a boot.

[B]

She ruined it for Boston.

[C]

That's up. That's up. That's wrong. Rory, don't do that.

[B]

I like Bia a lot.

[C]

Got some joints we not.

[B]

I really do like B. I'm not just saying that to say it. I really do.

[C]

Like, you know what's funny?

[B]

This was not her best outing.

[C]

But hold up. You know what's funny? Through all this that I couldn't help but think about while y'all was showing me these videos, I never realized how much B and Cardi look alike.

[D]

Yeah, their whole flow.

[B]

Haven't you realized that they all look alike?

[C]

No, no, no, no, no. B and Cardi look like they can.

[B]

Every woman getting surgery on their face looks the same.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no. That's not true.

[D]

They do look.

[C]

Rel and Cardi look like they could be sisters.

[B]

There's been times that I've seen Cardi with certain makeup that I thought it was Nikki.

[A]

Yeah, that's happened, too.

[C]

Yeah, well, certain makeup. Yeah, but I'm talking about this video, this IG story.

[B]

All the girls look alike.

[C]

No, this IG story that Bia was in. She looks like. Her and Cardi can be. They can be sisters.

[D]

Well, Bia put out over a three minute record with a very long chorus. We can skip all that. And, Ma, can you just give us the chorus?

[B]

She gave us the chorus three times.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

All right, so Bia says, big Boston. Shit. Boston, Bronx.

[B]

Shout out to Boston Bee's a beefing.

[C]

Put it on your hubby since you lying on your vows. Bitch, you ain't for the culture. You just trying to ride the wave. Wait, is that culture?

[A]

Her daughter wave her son. Put it on the culture. You just trying to ride the Wave.

[D]

Wait, Wave's her son's name.

[A]

Her son's name is Wave. And her daughter's name is Culture.

[C]

Wave's Queen for the culture. You're trying to ride the wave. Okay, Put that on your kids. You love yourself. C, A, R, D, I cry on IG Catch another two. Cause she couldn't catch the beat. Am I battling you or party? You've been scrapping songs since 2019.

[D]

That's just a taste mall.

[C]

Yeah, it's just a small dose of the. The venomous pin of beer.

[B]

I. I think beer is way more the vicious pen.

[C]

Yeah, it's the venomous pin.

[A]

It's small. I'm. That's why I'm laughing.

[C]

What?

[B]

No, it's not.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[B]

Cardi sent you. Cardi sent you here to laugh?

[A]

The venomous pin is crazy, yo.

[C]

Cardi sent you here on her behalf to laugh. I get it. I get it now, baby. Do you understand what's happening?

[B]

I really don't want to.

[C]

On beer, but never on beer. Beer's dope.

[B]

I think she's so talented. Why? Like, who said this was up to your standard? It sounded like somebody YouTubed, like, that type beat and came up with this.

[A]

Yeah, well, I'm gonna give Bia the benefit of the doubt.

[B]

She wrote it too quick.

[A]

What? I think, yes.

[B]

Should have gave herself some time.

[A]

Yes, I think so. When Cardi went online.

[C]

Y'all wanna see? Y'all can't do that because we just came out of this last rap beef. You niggas came in here like, yo, it's three days.

[B]

Bia is not. She doesn't have a Pulitzer Prize.

[C]

So y'all don't give her. Y'all don't give her credit for that. Getting right to it.

[A]

If it was good, I like.

[C]

See, that's fucked up. That's fucked up.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

If it was good, you would be jacking it.

[A]

But I'd rather wait a month for some fire than wait two days for submit.

[C]

I respect that.

[A]

But Cardi played her original diss on live. Was like, you dissed me? This. I had the diss track. Somebody from your team sent me the diss track and said it was old, like, so Bia had to come up with another one. Her original diss track on live. So.

[C]

So Bia's thing is she. Because I saw some of the Cardi live, and B is. Is. Is alleging that Cardi stepped out on her. Her marriage with Offset and had sexual relations with somebody else. She told a producer that she has a video. Whatever Whatever. I don't believe that. I believe it was any video of Cardi having sex with another guy right now, we would have been. Seen that video.

[B]

Okay, but didn't. Didn't Offset put out, like, yo, someone fucked my bitch gang.

[A]

That's he already. And she used that as the COVID art. But that was because Cardi, Remember, Cardi went live and she was talking about something, and people misinterpreted and thought that she was saying she stepped on our Offset when that wasn't what she was saying. So Offset came on there and said, my wife on me, gang. Y'all know how I come. Like, if that was to happen, like, y'all know how I'm coming.

[B]

Oh. All right, first of all, we're gonna debate facts in a rap battle. Like, I don't really care.

[C]

Yeah. That's what we just did.

[B]

Everyone's just been. Yeah, everyone's just been lying.

[A]

But before the rap battle, you were.

[B]

Looking for integrity from them. But Kendrick and Drake can lie their.

[A]

Ass off the whole month of May. Before the beef, you went to my husband's friends and was saying, I was cheating on.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, okay. She was doing some woman.

[C]

Yeah. Catty. Being catty. It's all good, you know, like a little cattiness every now and then.

[B]

I think we need to have the same energy for Cardi that we did. J. Cole, hear me out.

[C]

Which was what?

[B]

You can't diss somebody. They dish you back. And then you say, I'm gonna sue you for defamation.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Now, you can't do that.

[D]

You can't do that.

[B]

So even though I thought Bias stepped in a pile of. With that record. She won. She won.

[D]

I think she won, too, because she punched.

[B]

She beats Cardi. There's no way that you replied to a diss and then go, no, I think I'm gonna sue you for defamation and lying on me. You just entered into a rap battle.

[C]

Can you sue somebody for lying on your.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, she got Tasha K. The out of here quick.

[C]

Is that what she did? She lied on car.

[A]

Tasha K. Was lying on everything. Head, elbows, shoulder, knees and toes. They would buy her ass off.

[C]

Like, yo. But. Yeah, but that's. That's. Now, that's like, okay, you just. You doing way too much. But.

[A]

And you have a platform.

[C]

But I think that somebody. Somebody. I don't know if you could get sued for that. Yeah.

[B]

I don't know if that case is going through, really. I don't know how Is it defamation if somebody. If my significant other cheated on Me. How's that defamation to me?

[D]

Well, maybe offset consume your relationship.

[A]

No, you're.

[C]

You're.

[B]

Oh, wait, she said that Cardi was.

[A]

You're accused me of somebody and telling my husband that that's a lie.

[C]

Oh yeah.

[D]

That's not good.

[A]

That didn't happen.

[B]

I don't know. Maybe with the right lawyer because you can get like you. You'll lose your divorce if there's cheating. Right. Like in a civil case.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So I don't know. There could be a loophole party might be.

[C]

Not at all.

[A]

Not at all. You can't lose your divorce.

[C]

Got to lose it. You got to decide.

[B]

Oh, you could lose a divorce.

[C]

No you. But you.

[B]

I've seen many men.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

You can wish death upon you lose.

[C]

A divorce battle of what you want out of the divorce. Yes. But I mean I the. The offset would have to want to get divorced in that point to even go to that.

[A]

And also there would have to be a prenuptial agreement that cheating doesn't allow for this, this and that because some people don't put that in their prenuptial agreements.

[B]

Either way, I don't ever want to hear a response to a diss record to I'm gonna sue you.

[C]

Yeah, that's. That's. That's not hip hop. We can't do that.

[D]

I think Bia1 because she punched up and even Cardi in her diss was like go stream a record. Give her what she wants out of this. It's like, yeah, people will like I think be a made out.

[A]

You put. You went and played it. You went.

[D]

But guess who I. Last time I heard from Bia was on that London record with Cole. So just her name is even back in the conversation is a win.

[C]

Bia is. She has some. She has some pretty good records though.

[B]

Bia is not going anywhere. She has a up label situation. And that's why I don't think we've heard from her.

[D]

Where is she signed?

[B]

I think your people.

[D]

She is not Atlantic. He's rca.

[A]

I was about to say they can't. Atlantic artists can't beef with each other, can they?

[C]

Well, not.

[D]

Well, they try to, but then they just throw them on the same record together.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Figure it out. Either way, we're eating.

[B]

That's Mike Karen's rollout.

[D]

Bia is. Looks like she's with through rca. So.

[B]

But she had a up deal with Epic, right?

[C]

Didn't she? She was.

[B]

They just moved her. I mean it's all Sony at the end of the day. But pretty much, it's all the same.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What am I talking about? Well, anyways, so, yeah, I say all.

[A]

That to say if Cardi has a response. Y'all don't want to hear it.

[B]

Of course I do.

[C]

What, this big Bronx over here? Hell yeah, I want to hear that.

[B]

I just don't really know if I could take it too seriously after you said, I'm gonna sue you during a rap battle.

[C]

Yeah, come on, car.

[A]

But I don't think she's really gonna suit. She might, though.

[B]

Because to me, that's like, yo, I'm.

[A]

Losing sleep over this one thing about Cardi. Her and that lawyer are gonna be in court.

[B]

Oh, no, she wins all. I have nothing bad to say about Cardi because she wins in court. Yeah, but not enough is Johnny Cochran.

[C]

Yeah, but not a diss record, though. Not a dick.

[A]

But you know what's crazy? I don't think it's off the disc record. I think it's off the fact that you.

[C]

Now, if you want to sue one of these bloggers, you doing it in real life, then I. Then, cool. I get that.

[A]

I think if BIA wasn't saying that in real life, I don't think Cardi says, I'mma sue you. But if you going. If you've been on a campaign to tell people that I'm cheating on my husband. Yeah, I threatened to sue you. I don't think Cardi's actually gonna sue her, though.

[B]

I don't.

[A]

I think she was just talking like, I should sue you. Like, like that. I don't think she's actually gonna swear.

[C]

I hope not. That would be so whack. Like, come on, don't do that. Not, not. Not through rap. Beef does be.

[B]

It does be a giver. A back to back. What do we think tonight? Do we get a record?

[C]

I hope. I hope not. But maybe. Who knows?

[D]

The mayor is cackling.

[A]

I am. They are funny. You don't think funny.

[B]

Guys, you've never laughed.

[D]

Answer the question. That wasn't even a joke.

[B]

You never laughed this hard in your life.

[C]

I cut the. All right, we understand.

[A]

I don't have any problem with.

[C]

We understand. This is big body business going on with you today.

[B]

You laughing like us around pretty women that we want to. Yeah, everything. Oh, my gosh, you're so funny.

[D]

Like Drake and that Rihanna who said.

[B]

Women can't be funny.

[C]

Yeah, that.

[B]

This.

[D]

This is one of my favorite. It's one of my favorite memes of all time.

[B]

Rihanna has never said anything that funny in her Life.

[A]

You don't know that.

[C]

If Rihanna. If Rihanna would have said something, I might have laughed that hard too. I don't blame Drake. Laugh at everything Rihanna said 100%. Got to.

[B]

Oh, you act like I wouldn't be laughing harder than Drake. On the other ear, whole mouth wide open over the music.

[A]

Megan's out.

[B]

They would kick me out of the club.

[A]

Megan's album is coming. She announced at her Atlanta show that her album is coming at the end of this month.

[B]

Can we pull up the album cover? I feel like I'm being such a hater today, but I'm in a silly mood.

[A]

I don't like it either.

[B]

She has hair coming out of her neck.

[A]

I'm Big Meg gang.

[D]

Wait, what?

[A]

She does not have hair.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

All right, pull it up. Her hair is falling.

[B]

Keep going, keep going. Third one. All the way to the right, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Zoom in.

[D]

Wait, what is that? She a bug?

[B]

Zooming.

[A]

She's a butterfly.

[D]

Oh, that's a horrible Photoshop peach.

[B]

Where is the hair coming?

[D]

Did you do that?

[A]

Her head.

[D]

That is awful.

[A]

You don't see the hair on her head. Some is just draped over her chest.

[D]

Covering her nipples, deriving from the neck, like, because it's not. It doesn't look like the end of the hair.

[A]

Well, yeah, obviously, because the hair would be falling in her face if she's upside down.

[D]

Yeah, that's weird.

[B]

Defying gravity because, you know.

[A]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the COVID either. What's the name of the album? It's called Megan.

[C]

Oh, okay. Self titled.

[B]

All right, so that gets you going, which is funny.

[C]

Look at the.

[D]

Look at the top comment.

[A]

Self title. It's the big one, and I hope people pay.

[B]

Oh, my God, I'm not ready.

[D]

This is like the Eminem generator.

[B]

Why is MTV in their Meg era?

[A]

As they should be Megan era.

[B]

I'm excited for the album. I'm really not trying to be.

[A]

Not.

[C]

I like.

[B]

I like Meg.

[C]

Yeah, I like me. I with me.

[D]

You don't listen to her.

[C]

Megan Dozier. Those are my two, obviously, Nikki, but Megan Dozier. The two girls I like a lot.

[A]

I'm excited. I hope the world pays attention.

[C]

Got to put out an album, man. I mean, come on. You need more music, not just features. I want to hear a full project from Cardi.

[A]

Like another one I'm gonna give Cardi. I think Cardi will probably come out sometime in September. I don't think she wants to be anywhere.

[C]

September?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Didn't she say she's not.

[A]

She said Atlantic said. An Atlantic commented and said, even if we have to pry it out of Cardi's cold, dead hands, the album's coming this year.

[B]

But that was Julian.

[C]

Yeah, Julian.

[D]

I know who runs those socials, and I can tell you they have no say in what comes out. That's just not how that works.

[C]

Wait, you think September is June? We don't even have, like, a single.

[A]

There's been two singles. Two singles, three features.

[C]

What single?

[A]

The freestyle. And that.

[C]

Wasn't that last year?

[B]

No, that was this year.

[A]

Oh, that was this year.

[C]

When did she. When did Cardi put out that video where she looked? I mean, she always looks good, but she put out a video.

[A]

That was this year, baby. Right before the rap battle. The rap battle aged us 10 years.

[C]

That's true.

[B]

It did.

[C]

Really?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That was the longest fucking month of our lives.

[A]

She put out two singles in one. One month. If I'm Not Mist.

[D]

What was that song called?

[C]

The.

[D]

The one.

[A]

They're right there, Bab.

[B]

I like the freestyle joint.

[D]

The video she did in Bieber's house. Like what?

[C]

Like what?

[A]

Yeah, it. That's the one that M's talking about.

[C]

Like what?

[A]

That was three months.

[B]

Then, like, that came and it was. It was curtains.

[C]

Like what? Oh, that was three.

[A]

And then the. Enough. Enough. Came out a month later.

[C]

Got it. I saw somebody post September Might Happen.

[B]

Then we got so far in 2024. Drake vs. Kendrick Ross ASAP. Future Metro.

[C]

Yay.

[B]

The Weeknd and EXO Meg vs. Nikki Bia vs. Cardi. Glorilla vs. JT The Game vs. Rick Ross. Chris Brown vs. Quavo. Azealia vs. Dochi Wale vs. Meek Mill Young Miami vs. JT Ice Spice vs. Lotto. Soulja Boy vs. Metro Boomin and 21. Savage. Lupe Fiasco vs. Kid Cudi. It's only June.

[D]

Us vs. Eminem.

[A]

It's up.

[C]

Lupe and Cudi got into it. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

A little tiff, but, like, records came up.

[B]

No, Lupe threatened, and I think. I think everyone put their swords down.

[C]

Oh, I don't. I don't.

[D]

I don't. They tuck the katanas away.

[C]

Yeah, you don't want to get.

[B]

Everyone should be scared of Lupe Fiasco.

[C]

Yeah, don't. Don't do that. Leave Lupe alone, man.

[D]

Well, since we seem to be going back and forth between negative and positive, did you guys see Sean Paul's NPR tiny Desk?

[B]

I did.

[D]

In A Touch of Positive News.

[A]

I didn't see it. I want to see it.

[D]

Give us a little vote.

[B]

My man, that made the informal record from Toronto, Snow on the Keys right there.

[D]

I love it.

[C]

That's you on the keys.

[B]

I love Sean Paul so much.

[D]

This was. It was very. I watched this whole thing. It's very nostalgic. A good nostalgic and very good. Like, this was a great performance.

[C]

I didn't check it out. Yeah, I gotta check it out, though. Sean Paul, man, he. His run.

[A]

That was my childhood.

[D]

Still doing shows.

[C]

I mean, I'm sure he is. He got a fucking crazy catalog.

[B]

That's. That's a festival I would go to if he was headlining.

[D]

I think he just did Brooklyn, Paramount.

[A]

Pretty sure that Temperature music video was the Baby Boy. Like, music video for bet. Like, how Baby Boy always played.

[C]

Which one was Temperature?

[D]

Oh, my God. Tmi. I used to jerk off to that video.

[A]

What the Julian?

[D]

That was hard.

[C]

Listen, man, you should jerk off to a Sean Wall video.

[B]

I don't really want to defend him.

[D]

But see, you know. Rory, come on, back me up.

[B]

When we were younger, like, porn wasn't as accessible. Like, you had to deal with what you had. I've admitted publicly that the Christina Milian.

[D]

Dip It Low video, this video did it for me. There are so many fine women in this video.

[A]

Was Pasha in there?

[B]

You beating off to this one? It's funny.

[D]

No, wait, hold on. Because you got to get to the point where they're like. There's like a beach scene now.

[A]

Where's the black girl with the orange background?

[D]

Yeah, it's when they do, like, the backgrounds, man.

[B]

This has nothing on Baby Boy.

[D]

This, like, this is fire.

[B]

Those guys.

[D]

Yep.

[C]

Yeah, I'm about to say so. Now that you're older and you can look at this video now, realize you should jerk. How do you feel?

[D]

I feel good. I feel great.

[C]

There's no way you feel great about.

[D]

Why not this video? It's different times.

[B]

Post nut clarity to this video would be crazy.

[D]

It was different times. A lot of our YouTube was it.

[C]

I mean, I thought, why not the Tip Drill video?

[D]

Well, this wasn't the only video. This was just.

[B]

Wasn't this pre YouTube? Like, that means you stopped what you were doing. Like, when 106 and park was about to place.

[D]

This would play on 106 and park.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You had to pause. Like, how'd you. They didn't even play the whole video on 106.

[B]

In park, you was in the kitchen, overheard. And. And the new joint of the day.

[C]

Yeah, he ran in the room. He ran his room.

[A]

We had.

[C]

It's number four. Leave me Alone. It's number four.

[A]

We had tbr.

[D]

Yeah. At that time you could still. You could pause and rewind.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

This is a sick jerk off to the temperature video. Oh, my.

[B]

I mean, respect to the woman because she is married, but that baby boy video doesn't hold a candle to this. This is. This is softcore porn.

[C]

That's why I'm looking at this video.

[B]

Beyonce in the. In the. Oh, she in like a martini glass again.

[D]

There were more videos. This is just one of. There was an example.

[C]

This is like to warm you up. This was to get you like appetizers.

[D]

This is like when you're finding the buffer. It's the buffer video.

[B]

Speaking of tiny desk, Tem's tiny desk came out today. If you're listening to this on a Monday, which you're not because it's pre recorded, but you know, June 3rd, it came up.

[C]

The talented, beautiful Tims. I gotta check this out when I get home tonight.

[B]

It's a tiny desk I've been waiting for.

[C]

Tim's is. That's one artist I haven't seen live that I really want to see. And she was at, I want to say a couple like last year or two years ago. She was. She was it sobs I think she was at.

[B]

Really? I would love to see her.

[C]

She did sobs.

[B]

I saw her live at Broccoli City, however many years ago. It was like torrential rain. And she was like the first performer. Me and justice stood out there in a hurricane just to watch her perform live.

[C]

She's dope. She dope. I gotta catch a live. A live set from her. So, yeah, he gave me something to watch tonight, so I'll check that out. Tim's tiny desk.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you guys see any clips from Roots Picnic?

[C]

Yeah, I saw Nas. I saw Nas. Some of Nas's set. I saw some of Lloyd, I think was there.

[B]

Lloyd was there.

[C]

I think Lloyd somebody, I think. I think that was a Roots picnic one I missed. I saw. I saw Lloyd with a bulletproof vest on, so I assumed it was Philly. I assumed it was Philly because last time we was there, some niggas got hit on. What was that? Broad Street.

[B]

But you know, that happens when it's not Ruse Picnic.

[C]

But I thought. I thought it was Lloyd that I saw.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Did you guys see Joe Scott performing with. I think it was Black Thought?

[B]

Yeah, she was with the Ruse Crew. I saw Wale running into the crowd 15 times, which is appreciated. Like when artists, like, give too much of an effort.

[D]

Oh, is this the clips where Andre was blowing the flute, and everyone was.

[B]

No, that was the Atlanta Jazz Festival.

[A]

So do we know if Andre played the flute or did he perform?

[D]

He fluted.

[B]

I'm sure he fluted. If he performed, we would have saw clips.

[C]

I saw a clip. I think he was talking about Rico A. On. During his set, he was giving, you know, praise to everything that Rico A did for him in his career. I think that was roots. Well, Andre 3000 not gonna be in many stages, so he was. It was a clip of him on stage this past week, so it had to be Roots.

[B]

I. I tried to avoid watching Roots Picnic clips because I was depressed that I wasn't there.

[C]

Why?

[B]

You didn't go just, you know, with Amara?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

This first year, I haven't been in God knows how many years, but I.

[D]

Was waiting for my text. What are you doing?

[C]

Never. Never happened.

[D]

Never got it.

[B]

No, I was. I was in the pool with Amara. Wasn't gonna happen, so I tried to avoid all that. But how was Summer Jam?

[D]

You were out there.

[C]

Summer Jam?

[A]

You went to Summer Jam?

[B]

He was front row.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Look me in my eyes, all four of them.

[A]

No, I. I was stuck. I. I thought you really went.

[C]

Okay, I didn't go to Summer Jam. And I also didn't like, you know, the whole Rosenberg and Ero calling for Chef G and Sleepy Hollow to be removed from.

[B]

What was. It was just Rosenberg because Erogan went on to say that he's had Sleepy Hollow on a bunch of his platforms and has had Sexy Red, who's also.

[D]

A Trump supporter, the biggest Trump supporter.

[B]

But, I mean, it appeared like Sleepy Hollow. It appeared like Rosenberg ruined another Summer Jam. Wasn't the case if everyone remembers when he had Nicki Minaj boycott. But Sleepy Hollow, I guess last minute pulled out for health reasons. I hope he's okay. And everyone just blamed it on Rosenberg, which I don't think was the case, but.

[C]

Well, no, he called. He called for Chef G to be removed from the lineup, which I thought was corny.

[B]

Well, I don't think Chef G was ever on it. It was just Sleepy Hollow was on.

[C]

You sure about that? Yeah, no, I think Chef G was on that lineup.

[B]

No one got pulled because of Rosenberg.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

He just called for it.

[D]

Yeah. It looks like Sleepy was the only one on the official lineup.

[C]

Oh, sleepy. Okay. I stand corrected.

[B]

Well, did anyone see a Method Man's comments?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Can we. Can we read those out loud?

[D]

Yep. He said, sorry, it's small font. He said, not our crowd at all. Thanks again, New York. And the Whole Tri State that showed up to the event, plus Pete Knee, bro, I got love for you guys, but never again. At this point, the generation gap is just too wide for me. Hashtag never coming back.

[A]

Yeah, they didn't make sense on this lineup.

[B]

Well, they were part of, I, I believe the Mr. C tribute, which had like, Eric being Rakim and, you know, Big Daddy Kane, just older acts. I think they were part of that Mr. C tribute. I don't think it was just flat out. Meth and Red were in the lineup.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But I think this is part of.

[C]

The Mr. C. Listen, I understand what, what meth is saying, though. I get it. Because I feel the same way. I feel the same way as a. As a consumer, as a patron. Like, never again will I go back to Summer Jam. Like, I'm just. I get it, I respect it. Hopefully it stays a New York staple and it grows because I obviously downsize moving from the Giant Stadium to UBS Arena. But, you know, I would love to see this because it's been around so long and it has helped catapult a lot of. Especially the festival stage in the parking lot. It has helped catapult a lot of artists throughout the year. So it's something that I think is necessary and needed. I just think that it needs to be different people controlling it, different people creating it, curating it. You know, I just think it needs that. But I don't want to see Summer Jam not happen. I think New York needs a summer jam, but I just think it needs to be different people behind the scenes putting it together, a different creative direction to kind of give it that push back into what it used to be. But I understand what Method man is saying it because now, you know, a lot of the music that's popular now, especially in New York City, you know, they don't want to hear Meth and Red perform some of their greatest joints and, you know, pay tribute to. Obviously paying tribute to Mr. C was necessary, but I can understand the sentiment of the, you know, just not feeling like the crowd is into it. They're not really there to see them or don't really know their songs like that. I just think that it needs to be, you know, just. Just a different change of creative direction is all.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know. They're also competing with festivals now. Like, it's tough to.

[C]

What is a festival?

[B]

I guess.

[C]

Yeah, sort of just a one day. Yeah, it's not. It's not a two or three day festival, but this is a festival.

[B]

I mean, I know I just. I feel for them having to compete with something they never had to compete with before. Like, even the beginning, everyone would say Roots Picnic is going to fail because it's always the same day as Summer Jam. And now look how that's turned.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Now it's like, all right, is Summer Jam gonna last? Because Roots Picnic is an hour down. 95.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And look at the difference in the lineups and the effort that's put in. But I'm not here to shit on Hot 97. I just think Summer Jam, the same way radio and as a whole needs some fixing, that's all.

[C]

Here to shit on Rosenberg a little bit, though.

[B]

Why is that? I just don't like Juan Epstein did. Did Roots Picnic?

[C]

No. I mean, not. Not. I mean, it's not a real issue. I just didn't like that Rosenberg. Rosenberg calling for Sleepy Hollow to be removed from the lineup because of him standing on stage with Trump. I just. Like you said, Sexyy Red, she has a make America great. What does it make sexy great again hat on the stage. She's supported Trump openly. She was one of the headliners.

[A]

She said, hood niggas love Trump, but.

[C]

She'S not from New York. Stevie Hollow's from New York. Like, why are you trying to ban New York artists from a New York festival? Like, I just don't like that. I don't like. Like, this is. You know, people can have their own political views. People can have their own, you know, people that they want to support politically. Like, that's. People have that right. Sleepy Hollow, Chef G, they have that right to support Trump. If they want to support Trump, that shouldn't mean that they can't be invited or taken off of a Summer Jam stage because of that. It's just stupid. It. And I just think that that was. You know, that was just a bad move. It was distasteful on Rosenberg's part. Like, don't push your political views and you know, who you want to support onto others. Like, that's not what this is about.

[B]

And if you think about it, DOA Cat was in racist chats, showing feet.

[C]

She wasn't. She wasn't. She wasn't. You know, I mean, like, Rosenberg didn't call for her to not be on Summer Jib, so I just don't like that, man. I. I just think that's. That's. That's just corny. That's some corny.

[B]

When it's doja, it's just edgy.

[C]

Yeah, she was just. She was just pushing the art. Yeah.

[B]

It's art. It's all art.

[C]

Yeah, but shout out to Chef G and Sleepy Hollow.

[B]

I was in the Bronx yesterday. Didn't check in with you easily. Walk in. Nobody stop.

[C]

Danger zone.

[B]

Didn't see a lot of the Trump supporters that you said were just walking around the streets of the Bronx. But, you know, it was. It was nice to be back in City Island. I hadn't been to City island since.

[C]

Before COVID How was it?

[B]

The same.

[C]

A lot of people was out.

[B]

Yeah. It was a good time, though.

[C]

I like City Island. City island used to be like a little trip when you was young.

[B]

It feels like you're not in the Bronx.

[C]

Yeah, it's like. It's like a little vacation away from, you know, hookah in front of your building and.

[B]

Well, there is hookah in City Island.

[C]

Oh, no. One million percent is hooked on City island, definitely. I'm just saying, not right outside the sidewalks. Yeah, right. Not right outside my window is all I'm saying. See some water, See some seagulls, you know, like you don't see on the block. You see pigeons and rats and drunk people laying. Laying in their vom.

[B]

Still kind of describing City Island.

[C]

It's all the same. Just next to. There's just crab legs, just lobster tails right there. That's all. That's all it is.

[B]

But did you do anything this weekend? I'm sure you didn't, but.

[C]

No, I didn't.

[D]

Damn. Really?

[C]

Nothing like I did. Oh, no. I saw. I saw my family rest in peace. My uncle. My Uncle Joe passed away.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[C]

So he was older and he was sick, so it was expected, but shout out to my family. I saw a lot of my family. A lot of my cousins I haven't seen in a long time. We had a memorial in Harlem, so I had one of those days where you just see cousins and relatives and aunts and that you haven't seen in so long. And it's just. I'm grateful to not have been one of the crazy ones. Even though I am crazy. My family is legit crazy. Like, legit.

[B]

I can see it.

[C]

Certified crazy. I needed a. I should have had a camera when I walked in. How.

[B]

But how far into the service did somebody ask you for money? Because that usually happens to me.

[C]

No.

[B]

So when it's cousins I haven't seen in a while.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no. That didn't happen. Well, my uncle, he. He. He owns brownstone in Harlem. Well, he owned like three. He only owns one now. He sold the other two and When I.

[B]

So he's probably multimillionaire.

[C]

So when I saw him, we started talking, and he got right into it, like, yeah, you know, I'm trying to keep the brownstone in the family. Da, da, da, da. So I'm like, okay, yeah, let's talk. He said, yeah, because if we all. You know, we all put a thousand dollars together. Thank you.

[B]

That's how pyramid schemes are pitched. If you get a thousand and then you get someone else to give you a thousand, I say.

[C]

I said, no. I said, let's. Let's sit and talk, man. Because the one thing that he did say in the conversation that I was like, absolutely was, I don't want to see him sell a brownstone. I do think that it should stay in our family, so we'll talk more about that. But, yeah, my family is. I love them, but they're definitely certified correct. Crazy.

[B]

Okay, if I. If I pitch in a thousand, like, what's my split?

[C]

Oh, see, that's when. That's when it gets tricky, when you start talking about what's the percentage and.

[B]

What'S the thousands that he's trying to reach. Is there a goal here?

[C]

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

[B]

Or is he just asking everybody for a thousand?

[C]

That's what I'm trying to tell you. We got to have a deeper conversation, because I got it. I understood what he was saying. The. The brownstone should stay in the family. I don't want to see him sell it to anybody. And, you know, they just do what they want to do with it.

[A]

So what block is the brownstone on?

[C]

I want to say a hundred and.

[A]

Oh, saint. Harlem.

[C]

Yeah, it's not Harlem. I want to say 119. That's probably. No, no, no. I'm bugging 118th, I believe. 118th Street. Yeah.

[B]

Prime real estate.

[C]

Yeah. No, no, My uncle had. He had three of them for a very long time, and he sold two throughout the years, and he still has one one left. But, you know, I know people are probably coming at him with some numbers and, you know, they want to buy Harlem and, you know, make it look, you know, do give it a facelift and do things, but get rid of black people. Well, yeah.

[D]

What making a Whole Foods?

[C]

Probably Starbucks.

[B]

There's a couple Whole Foods in Harlem.

[C]

But, yeah, it should stay in our family, so. But it was good to see my family. Unfortunate circumstances, but it was still good to see, you know, my aunts. My mom came up, so it was good to see everybody.

[A]

Did y'all do that thing that black people do where it's like, you know, we. We gotta see each other more. We gotta stop getting together only for funerals.

[C]

That's what every one of my black person. As soon as we saw each other.

[D]

Every family gathering.

[C]

Yeah, as soon as we saw each other. That's exactly what we were saying.

[D]

Funerals and weddings.

[C]

Yeah. Like, yo, we gotta stop seeing each other like this. Like. But it's true, though.

[B]

And no one follows up on that. No, no, we'll just wait for someone else to do.

[C]

Not at all. But it was. It was good to see everybody for sure.

[D]

So.

[C]

Yeah, that was my weekend. I didn't do much outside of that.

[B]

Well, talk to Damaris's family. They don't. Y'all own Harlem.

[C]

Damaris's family owns.

[B]

I found that out on Reddit.

[A]

When my grandfather died, they printed an article. They used to call my grandfather the mayor of Harlem. The mayor of the mayor of 100 bumpy Johnson street because he had a lot of real estate. He was a big real estate guy.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Oh, okay.

[D]

He probably bought your uncle's other two.

[A]

No, he. No, he did commercial. He did commercial real estate.

[C]

I think he sold it to white family.

[D]

Families, I think.

[A]

Damn.

[C]

So the Sally man, you know, white black people, unfortunately.

[D]

What kind of white did he sell to those whites or.

[A]

Whites are whites, baby.

[C]

I mean.

[D]

Well, we know which kind of whites.

[C]

No, no, it wasn't that.

[D]

All right.

[C]

I think that. I think they. But I. I do think that he knew. I think he knew them for a while, though.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

It wasn't like just some random people. I think he had a relationship with them for a while. I could be mistaken, but I did. I did always him speak. Be good about the family that he sold it to, though.

[D]

That's always good.

[C]

Yeah. So. Yeah. All right, well.

[B]

Shout outs. Summer Jam.

[C]

Shout outs to Harlem.

You better play with basketball. A couple hours yesterday. I am cooked, baby.

[C]

D. I like that fit. I like that shirt.

[D]

Black Swan.

[A]

No, big, big tier. This is from some boutique, I think.

[C]

All right. Make sure it's all those.

[A]

Oh, Zara, I'm sorry. Both Zara tears from the boutique.

[B]

Zara.

[A]

I thought it was from a boutique. It's not. It's from Zara.

[B]

This little spot. I know.

[C]

Okay, all right.

[D]

The corner of Broadway and right there.

[C]

You may have seen it. You may have seen it. You may have.

[D]

Sandwich in between. Bloomingdale, right there.

[B]

It's on the rise.

[C]

Yeah, we got voicemails.

[D]

Yes, of course. What's this one? Oh, this one's funny. Maltz. It's directed at you.

[C]

Oh, man.

[D]

But, like, not in a bad way.

[A]

Hey, guys, I'm a fan calling from New Jersey. I just left the Lancaster veg fest, and I saw a guy there that looked. Looked identical to mall wearing is that hip hop T shirt. But I don't think it was mall. I think he looked just like Mom. My question for you guys is, is it hip hop to look just like your favorite podcaster while wearing their merch out in a place that they would normally be? Because I'm like, dag, I don't think that was mall. And if it was mall, I sound a little silly, but I don't think that was mall. It doesn't look. I don't know. And it just seemed really weird to me to just be a mall look al a mall shirt. But just want to know, friends, is that hip hop or not?

[D]

So you were in Lancaster?

[B]

Yeah. Well, first of all, was it you?

[C]

Yeah, no, sorry, it wasn't the vag.

[D]

What is it? Veg fest.

[C]

Vegfest.

[B]

The vag fest.

[C]

Sounds like I need to go to both. Yeah, Veg invite fest. No, it wasn't me. And no, that is not hip hop. To wear a. If I was wearing that shirt out at an event like. Like, no, that's not hip hop.

[B]

But that's not fair. Like, if he just looks like you, that's not his fault. And he just happens.

[A]

I think she was talking about the way he was dressed.

[C]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, no, it wasn't me, unfortunately. But you should have called last week and told me about Vegfest.

[D]

The reason why I wanted to play his voicemail is because. Do you guys remember this guy that was kind of getting off the Drake lookalike thing for a while?

[B]

That loser?

[D]

This loser. Yeah. So this will kind of remind. Because this guy, it got to a point where he was making club appearances and getting a bag and just to sing along to Drake Records and got a heart in his head.

[B]

People, I just feel like we need to father our sons. That's like really. I think the overall theme with this entire.

[A]

We got to start calling lame lame again. Like we gotta start bullying. We gotta bring bullying back in a thing.

[C]

Look alikes and, and you know, there's been. We've seen Elvis is iconic. Michael Jackson. Yeah.

[B]

But sometimes it's okay to knock the hustle. Yeah, but I mean I knocked.

[C]

This is only crazy because this dude is just like, you know, trying to probably be in the same spaces as Drake.

[A]

Yeah. Like if you were standing, like if.

[C]

You were just in Vegas on the strip doing this, then it's kind of like it's right on brand with what Las Vegas is.

[B]

Pull up on YouTube. The Drake look alike with the Dirk lookalike doing so stupid.

[C]

Yeah, see, that's mental illness. I'm gonna just put that under that umbrella.

[A]

That's a very big umbrella you got over there.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, no, it's a lot of niggas under there.

[D]

But I think this got to a point where Drake sent a CND to this guy because of the like he was actually making money.

[A]

Oh, and that's hate.

[C]

Yes. I hate that somebody's pretending to be me and they're actually making a living.

[D]

Yeah. Here's a video. Fake Dirk and fake Drake linking up.

[A]

They look nothing like.

[B]

Looks like Bruno.

[C]

Definitely.

[A]

And you just got. You just got locks. You look nothing like Dirk.

[B]

No. Didn't they do some like on a boat? They did like a legit video.

[D]

That's the gay I've ever heard.

[A]

Now they rap it to each other. Nah.

[C]

Yeah, see that happened to each other. That's when it gets weird. That's when it gets weird.

[A]

Attention people.

[C]

I would see I was in the cease and desist.

[D]

You wouldn't go crazy if you saw this in the club.

[C]

Mall go crazy. Yo, I would walk out if I seen two sitting next to each other like that in the club.

[A]

It's him opening his eyes up mad wise so that he could look like dirt.

[C]

Is stupid. What if he got. What if he got wide eyes?

[D]

No, he's doing that over there.

[A]

Doing it on purpose.

[B]

He's just, he just on a perk, that's all.

[C]

Yeah, that's all. You ain't never popped that 30. That's just.

[B]

You're. You heard Dirk saying was like, all right, I gotta do it because I'm looking like, oh, wow.

[A]

Have you guys ever did perks?

[C]

Once I did a half a perk one time. My ass was itching for 17 hours.

[D]

Side effect.

[C]

Oh, hell yeah.

[A]

Actual ass was itching.

[C]

My. My, my ass was itching.

[B]

You needed a shower, that's all.

[C]

Yeah, no, I'm for. My ass is very clean. It was, it's like, it's, it's. It's an opioid. So it makes you like. You never see dope head scratch.

[A]

Yeah, but like, I ain't never seen them scratch their ass.

[C]

Oh, that's cuz they ass always itch. They dirt. Like my was on and I was in a club, I was trying to find like the edge of the couch and kind of like, yo, you killing.

[D]

Me for the temperature video.

[C]

It was crazy.

[B]

It was you rubbing your butt on a club couch, making it dirty.

[C]

I let a little sister do less. I left, bro. I had to leave. I kid you, my homeboy, you scooting.

[B]

Around the club to this day, me.

[C]

And my homeboy laugh about that. Like, yo, remember I took that half that perk and oh my God, never again. That's why I was never. I was. First of all, that was the only time I ever did it. Never again. I was like, now this, bro. This is crazy.

[B]

Took a perk once, didn't like it.

[C]

It.

[D]

I don't get. What's the, what effect does it create?

[A]

It's a downer.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Like, it's like an oxy.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Similar. Yeah.

[C]

On the same lines.

[B]

And it had like a lean effect to me.

[C]

I guess it's a painkiller.

[A]

Yeah, it's that heroin.

[D]

I never pills synthetic heroin.

[C]

So it's like you going, you'll get some of the itching. And you know if you take enough of that, you'll start getting little jerk movements. Like you see dope addicts doing like. Definitely.

[A]

Dope addicts never fall, bro.

[D]

No, they're like weebles gravity. They wild.

[B]

They don't fall down.

[C]

They like those things, you know when as a new store opens and they put those blow up dolls like that go all the way down, but it never touched the floor. That's what dope head is same.

[D]

They're impressive and they're very low center Ground.

[B]

They're like Olympic gold medal level of jaywalking. Yeah, like I've never seen. Why have I not seen a crackhead get hit by a car before? Before? Nah, it's impossible.

[C]

No, they don't get hit by cars sober.

[B]

People get hit all the time.

[C]

They know where they at. You. You may not know where they at, but they know where they at. They know exactly where they going.

[D]

Like they have spidey senses, like some variation of it.

[C]

Oh, for sure.

[B]

I mean, once you lose all your senses, it's like one takes over.

[D]

Yeah, it heightens the rest of us.

[C]

We got another voicemail.

[D]

Yeah, we do. In the. In the spirit of beef still and back and forth. This is a fun one for us.

[B]

So you skipping over that a Z List celebrity?

[C]

What's going on, y'all? Big Fan of the pod? My name's A.C. set a random music question. Who do you think would do better? Any verses? Backstreet Boys vs NSync, and why. All right, peace.

[A]

Is there a performance level to this? Like, is there a performance element?

[C]

Like a versus? It would have to be a performance, right?

[A]

All right, so the in sync.

[B]

That one's tough. I guess I would go with NSync. They were around a little bit more.

[C]

Music that I like personally.

[B]

You definitely look. You look like a dirty pop fan to me.

[C]

Dirty pop.

[B]

Dirty pop. Come on, you know.

[C]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That wasn't one of my joints.

[B]

Isn't Nelly in that. That video?

[C]

He probably is. Nelly was the. The token rapper guy.

[D]

Millennium. Millennium. This is one of. I remember getting this album on cd. This is a. One of the hardest albums.

[B]

Oh, no skips on Millennium.

[D]

No skips.

[B]

Pull up a In sync joint.

[D]

But in sync, no Strings Attached is what a album.

[B]

It's pretty much illmatic.

[A]

Yeah, I see. I definitely see the correlation.

[C]

Still the same. Same level. Same level. Yeah. I'm going NSync.

[B]

Jen Scott paid Insync and Backstreet Boys were so good, I had to pretend not to like them so my friends wouldn't make fun of me. All of us love them, but refused to say it and, like, called each other gay for liking Backstreet Boys, but we all secretly loved their music.

[C]

Music. Yeah. No, they. They had some. Some big records.

[B]

Then we got older, and we're like, guys, come on.

[C]

It's okay.

[B]

This is.

[C]

It's fine.

[A]

So everybody.

[B]

They're phenomenal.

[C]

It's music. It's good music.

[A]

Everybody's going with nsync.

[C]

I'ma say in sync. Yeah.

[B]

I mean, with the loophole. Do they get Justin Timberlake?

[D]

Yes, of course.

[B]

Stuff too.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

No, no, Not.

[A]

Not his songs. Just him performing.

[D]

Just group catalogs.

[C]

All right.

[D]

Black and Blue is type. This is. I had this on cd, too. This was like, more serious, in depth, like, love music shit. Shape of my heart bars.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm going with NSync. Backstreet Boys. Just that millennial album is crazy, but NSync has more to pick from.

[C]

I feel like NSync or B2K.

[B]

It's going to sound blasphemous, but NSync, I think it's cleaning up. B2K.

[C]

Cleaning up. Cleaning up. Yo, that's. That's wild.

[A]

I don't know about cleaning up.

[C]

Cleaning up. Now we not doing that. We. You better go check B2K's catalog.

[B]

Oh, I'm well aware of that.

[C]

Okay. All right, all right.

[B]

I know cleaning up. I could recite the entire script to you guys. Served. Don't get me up when it comes to B2K.

[D]

You shouldn't have admitted that.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. You should have kept that to yourself.

[B]

They didn't need that in sync. NSYNC is cleaning up. B2K.

[C]

Yo, you that clean up. I'm not mad at you saying NSync. But. But cleanup is just like B2K.

[B]

Instinct is a different.

[A]

I agree that instinct wins. I don't know about a cleanup.

[B]

Pull up B2K's greatest hits, whatever their Apple playlist is of. Just Grab P essentials.

[D]

Grab P. Just listen to girlfriend way. I love you, Bump. I. I think everything.

[B]

B2K are legends in their own right. And pretty much scored my childhood love. B2K. NSync is cleaning them the up, so I cleaning them up. So you.

[C]

If you play. If you play gone by NSync. Right? And I play gots to be by B2K. Who wins that?

[B]

Wait, I'm not saying B2K wouldn't win a round.

[C]

No, no. I'm saying.

[B]

I'm just saying that they're. They're.

[C]

I'm just asking.

[D]

But you picked the matchup.

[B]

You said going versus.

[D]

I think Gots to be.

[B]

That's a tough round, yo.

[C]

That's what I'm saying, man.

[B]

Got to Be might win that.

[C]

This is what I'm saying.

[B]

Yeah, Costa be was crazy, but that's fine. Like, gone. That could be a Lucy, for instance.

[D]

Yeah, I was gonna say that's gone.

[C]

Being the Lucy is crazy. That's all right. They can lose that round.

[D]

A sleeper in this conversation. 98 degrees versus who just in the mix. I mean, they had. I'm just in terms of like goats. They had Nick Lachey.

[C]

No, they.

[B]

Who else they have besides. Tell me the other eight degrees.

[C]

Tell me the other 33rd degrees.

[A]

Other 97 degrees.

[C]

Yeah, like who? Who else, man?

[D]

No, yeah, it was just Nick.

[B]

What was their one hit? They had like a three month run on tro.

[D]

Was it My Everything? Was that the.

[B]

Oh, yeah, my Everything.

[D]

Because of you.

[A]

It's because of you.

[B]

Because My Everything was a record, though. I miss boy bands. Pause. Ad blockers for.

[D]

I don't know why it keeps doing this to me lately. It wasn't. It started like last week. This song is hard.

[B]

Oh yeah, it's a Jo joint.

[D]

Look at these hits. Yeah, you don't deserve that.

[C]

That like arrow Posto commercial.

[B]

Joey Fatone makes a great hot dog.

[D]

Now pause.

[C]

How do you know that?

[B]

He has a. A chain of hot dog restaurants.

[C]

Oh, he does? Yeah. I didn't.

[B]

I think it's called ftones.

[C]

Naturally.

[B]

He's from Brooklyn.

[C]

Yeah, naturally. We call ftones. We're going to ftones.

[A]

So it's not fat.

[B]

You're being a fatone.

[C]

Well, it is supposed to be fat one.

[D]

Is it fat? Wow, that's cle.

[C]

But his name is F. I've never.

[A]

Eaten a glizzy that's caught fat.

[D]

There's Italian ice, too. Very nice.

[C]

Listen, great marketing.

[D]

There's a fat dog and he.

[B]

He's. Backstreet Boys are in sync.

[C]

He's in sync.

[B]

In sync.

[D]

All right.

[B]

Weren't they supposed to do a tour?

[D]

Justin say he was going to unite him for the album? No, because they have a feature on his new album. That's what it was.

[B]

Which is good. Yeah, I haven't really gone back to that. Justin Timberlake.

[A]

Are we ever getting that Destiny's Child reunion tour? Man, I want it so bad that.

[C]

You know, it's gonna cost a lot to move B around.

[B]

I think once. Once she's done with this three book thing, maybe like 20, 28. I can see it happening.

[A]

Michelle might be like, all right, I ain't gonna hold you. I'm good.

[C]

Like, Michelle gonna get her ass up and get right on that plane.

[D]

If Beyonce, she gonna get up the.

[B]

Same way she did after she fell.

[C]

Let me tell you who. Who ain't gonna not show up up. Michelle will be in the building for that. When? Whenever.

[B]

Let's put respect on Michelle's name.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I put any one of them. Soon as they. They announce a Destiny's Child reunion, they will all be there.

[A]

Well, yeah.

[C]

Nobody in the meetings. Ain't nobody gonna be like, oh, I don't know if I want to do it now. Yeah, right. You know how much money they gonna make doing that?

[A]

Yeah, but I'm just saying they're getting older. Like, gi Mean nothing.

[C]

Kiss. Kiss just sold out the. They just. He's what, 80 years old now. They just sold out the long. Whatever they was in Long island. Just sold that shit.

[B]

Kiss is always gonna sell out Long Island. Yeah.

[C]

Like, are you kidding me? Destiny's Child will sell out no matter when they do that.

[A]

Of course. Of course they are. I'm just saying they're older, so it might be like, I don't feel like going to rehearsal. If I'm, like, settled in my life, it's like, ah, I don't know.

[C]

And when the accountant sits you down to show you what you stand to make, just getting your ass on that plane, you going. That's all I'm.

[B]

How's Survivor go again?

[C]

Yeah, like, how Survivor. Are we on the three or the four? Like, you gonna be at rehearsal? Are you kidding me?

[A]

Yeah, I'm. I'm thirsty for it. I would pay any amount of money to go.

[C]

And you and millions others feel the same way. Exactly.

[B]

That'd be so crazy.

[D]

So we got in just to clear this up. Insync's washing Backstreet Boys.

[B]

Yeah, not washing, but they're. They would win. They would wash B2K.

[D]

Okay, let's say, like, out of 20. What's the. Like, 15?

[A]

Let's do out of 10. Let's do out of 10. They're a little. Let's do out of 10.

[C]

Whatever.

[D]

Yeah, sure.

[B]

10 would be tough with them. Them?

[D]

What, like 73? 65. How close are we talking?

[B]

I think 73 sounds about right.

[D]

73. Okay.

[B]

I don't actually. That might be a 64 situation.

[D]

That's not.

[B]

I think we need. I think we need to put some more respect on Backstreet Boys.

[D]

I love Backstreet Boys.

[C]

Yeah, I respect it. But I. I'm an in sync, I think. In sync. I think they win easily. Easily beat B2. Get. I mean, Backstreet Boys back.

[B]

Boys never had, like, a one branch off. Nick Carter, maybe.

[D]

Yeah, it was him.

[B]

Yeah, but he wasn't even the lead. That was Aaron Carter.

[D]

Listen, who's Rip?

[B]

But. But Nick wasn't even the. The lead singer, right?

[D]

No. They had one dude in this group that could really sing, and I don't.

[B]

Remember the guy that looked really old.

[A]

Was that A.J. mcLean.

[B]

No, Brian, whatever. He looked like he was 40 in 2001 1. He was always the lead joint. And then Kevin Richardson looked like V for Vendetta. They were a creepy group. It all looks like sex.

[D]

They look low key sus as.

[B]

That's why at least like in sync looked like inviting. These guys look creepy as n he was.

[C]

It wasn't a bad looking group.

[B]

You sure?

[C]

Yeah, it wasn't bad back, homie.

[B]

All the way to the left. I don't even remember him. They had a Puerto Rican guy in the group.

[A]

He is not Puerto Rican.

[B]

I don't remember that at all.

[C]

He's Italian.

[B]

Sicilian, Puerto Rican, what's the difference?

[D]

Yeah, NSync just look they had like that the it factor.

[A]

Yeah, like the boy next door.

[C]

Yeah, they look like they had been touched already.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Look like their manager already them.

[D]

Yeah, they all got touched.

[C]

Crazy.

[A]

Like he. Like I. Yo, let me chill.

[C]

That was my bad, Justin. I ain't mean to say that.

[B]

Yeah, my bad.

[A]

Why you single?

[C]

Just apologize, Justin, why you single? You know, he was the most attractive one if a pedophile got around him at the Disney days.

[B]

Pardon my Julian here. Me and Lance bash share a birthday.

[D]

Happy, happy pride, guys.

[C]

Happy go here. Take my pride.

[D]

[B]

In fifth grade, I still. It's like one of those TR like traumatizing experiences in school. They had a celebrity birthday book in my fifth grade class. Mrs. Cook. And we went to May 4th and the only person that was on May 4th was Lance Bass. And everyone called me A for the rest of the day.

[D]

Only the day.

[C]

All my life.

[B]

They moved on. They moved on to the down syndrome kid.

[D]

The next day, Rory after he found out his his birthday was the same as Lance Bass.

[B]

Colin Farrell right there.

[C]

Rory Farrell. He's been sober six months.

[A]

Well, you have the same birthday as Kamora Lee Simmons. Audrey Hepburn, Big od. Katherine Jackson, the Jackson's mom.

[C]

Legend.

[A]

Great Lance. Jackie Jackson, another legend.

[D]

Oh, Aaron Andrews. That's a good poll.

[A]

Yeah. There's not like Rory McIlroy and you have the golfer have the same birthday.

[D]

How do you pronounce it?

[A]

I don't know how to McElroy.

[B]

That was slightly racist.

[D]

Oh, will our Mickey.

[C]

Mickey. It's the Mick.

[B]

Well, they didn't have all these names in that celebrity book. It was just Lance Bass. Everyone else had like cool like Eddie Murphy.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And then it was like Rory's gay.

[D]

Rory Jidenna.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Shoot him a dm Jaden.

[A]

[B]

Run Shoot him a dm. What you doing for your birthday next year, bro?

[D]

Our birthday Lincoln build.

[B]

I like Jadena.

[A]

Wait, was he classic man, or was that okay?

[D]

Yeah, he's very educated. I believe he went to Stanford.

[B]

That was racist.

[D]

How's that racist?

[B]

Does he speak well? Is he articulate?

[D]

That's raised you.

[A]

Yeah, that was. That was very racist.

[D]

You made it racist.

[C]

I was just.

[B]

You said it. I didn't say it. Why wouldn't. Why wouldn't he be educated?

[A]

Well, because a lot of entertainers are not.

[D]

And then there's being very. He went to Stanford like this. He's, like, very smart. I think he went.

[B]

I mean, May 4th. It's in the store.

[A]

I don't. I don't think that.

[B]

So he took all your smarts in 1985?

[C]

Yeah, there's none left after that.

[B]

1990 came around, and it was just none left. The stars was burnt out.

[D]

This album is actually pretty good. The Chief. I think this is dope.

[B]

What was his last one?

[A]

He wasn't a bad actor.

[D]

Me, you, and God.

[B]

Oh, no. I'm taking 85 to Africa.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

That one's really good.

[C]

I like it.

[A]

He wasn't a bad actor. He was in.

[D]

Isn't he an Insecure?

[A]

He was an insecure. I liked his role in Insecure. Yeah, he was dating Molly.

[D]

Yeah, he was in two episodes.

[B]

Molly knew how to pick him.

[A]

Yo, one day we're gonna. I really want to crown Insecure as probably one of the greatest, like, black culture shows that we've ever had in the world. Like, I think it's. It's a flawless show.

[C]

It's dope.

[D]

That shit's fire.

[C]

I watched it, like, last year. I watched, like, binged it. It's really, really good show. I liked it when it, like, aired. When it first originally aired, I liked it. I thought it was awesome. But, like, watching it, it binging it, I'm like, this is a really. And then seeing the progression of the characters from start to be. It was. It was a good, really good show.

[B]

It's either season two, episode one, or season three. Episode one is, like, one of the greatest episodes in TV history, in my opinion.

[C]

Season two, episode.

[A]

What was going on? What was going on?

[B]

I think it was season two, episode one. I'll come back to you guys.

[C]

Speaking of shows, shout out to Vince Staples on getting a renewed season. Yes. Yeah. The Vince Staples show on Netflix. Shout out to Vince Staples on that. Matt Love, love the first season. So happy he got another shot at it. And. And he also Has a dope album out right now, too. So shout out to Vince, man. Really dope, dope time for him. And just one of the dope cool creatives that we have.

[B]

So I think he's in New York in October. I definitely want to go to that show. He announced. He announced tour stuff this past week.

[D]

Speaking of stuff, you guys can continue to watch. Porn is officially allowed on Twitter.

[C]

Yes. No more temperature videos.

[D]

All right.

[B]

Yo, the fact that X is announcing that they officially allow it.

[C]

Have you ever heard of Ms. Be Nasty?

[B]

Because I. X, have you been on your own app for the past hour? Many years.

[C]

Be Nasty has been on there doing exactly what y'all said is now loud.

[B]

Even pornhub is like, yo, y'all need to calm down on here. Yeah, this is hilarious. This has to be like a troll from Elon, right?

[C]

I would. It would have to be.

[A]

I think it's just marketing to get more people to upload more porn. I think. Think it's.

[B]

Yeah, it's part of the agenda.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Because it was like never blocked. It was always allowed. I think this is them just acknowledging it and being like, hey, this. You can now. This is a safe space for all of you. Can't. I hope. If they are doing this, I hope you can monetize on it.

[B]

I mean, you can monetize on everything else, I'm sure. Yeah, I just don't know what those splits look like. But yeah, I mean, shout out to porn. This is. This is bad for the youth. We're not going to get. I know. I'm going to sound like the angry parent. This is awful, though. Why I'm. This is one of the things I agree with the Republicans on. Porn is ruining our youth.

[A]

Well, porn is ruining.

[B]

Porn is ruining everything.

[A]

Porn is ruining our youth and has been for a while.

[B]

But as someone that watches porn currently, I'm still saying it's. It's going to ruin.

[A]

It's still ruining you as like, as.

[C]

You are not just the youth. Youth. Adults.

[A]

Adults, period. But this is no different than pornhub. So for sure.

[B]

But it's like legitimately a social media app like to monitor. That is different than monitoring your kids going on porn sites. Like, this is Twitter.

[A]

Well, what I will.

[B]

It has just much porn as pornhub.

[A]

What I'm going to assume is that they have to now do. When you sign up, you have to give your age like TikTok does and like Instagram does.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

They'll never filter you.

[C]

Just scroll that thing.

[A]

No, I'm Just listen. All they're doing is covering.

[B]

Yeah. The Spice Channel used to have a thing in the beginning.

[C]

Scroll that all the way to 74.

[A]

I'm just supposed to cover their own ass.

[C]

Yeah, and I get it. I get it. But, I mean, thanks, X, for the announcement that we didn't need. Been following Ms. B for years.

[B]

She's been going under the radar. X had no idea what she was uploading.

[C]

Exactly.

[B]

So I feel like Elon's retweeting porn.

[C]

You may have. Get a load of this one.

[B]

You saw Trump wants to put Elon in. In his cabinet.

[C]

Does he?

[D]

Jesus.

[B]

It's not a porn reference.

[A]

It's a nasty cabinet.

[B]

Yeah, that's the one that squeaks.

[A]

That's the one that needs a lube with the. The brown doors.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Unfinished wood for sure.

[B]

Get a splinter when you reach for the bull.

[C]

Caitlyn Clark. She's been in the headlines again. Rookie year. She's been getting some hard fouls. You know, every. The microscope is. She's under the microscope because of her name and, you know, the whole audience that she's bringing into the WNBA now one of the greatest college players ever. But she's not. She's not. She's been having a rookie season. I think that most star rookies probably have. Your target is they're not going to take it easy on you. They trying to make it difficult. Everybody knows that. They're able to stop you and have a good game against you. That. That does a lot for their career. So, you know, she's. She's been in the news. She got a hard foul on her by Kennedy. What is her last name?

[A]

Carter.

[C]

Kennedy Carter.

[B]

It's a flagrant foul. It's not a hard foul. That was a flagrant foul.

[C]

Listen, man, I get it. It's not a basketball play. It's unnecessary. But it wasn't. That was just a bump. It wasn't like she grabbed her and slammed her down. It wasn't like Caitlyn was in the air going for a layup and she.

[D]

That's not a basketball player.

[B]

That's not at all.

[C]

But it's a bump.

[A]

But he said that, though. He said it wasn't a basketball player.

[C]

It's a bump. It's a bump. You about to catch the inbound. I'm allowed to run into you and bump into you. Like Caitlyn. She sold it a little bit.

[B]

All right, man, she sold it.

[A]

They said she need to hit the weights.

[C]

She's that, too. But she definitely sold it. A little bit like. Come on.

[B]

She does. She flops.

[A]

Caitlyn's a. Kaylin's a big flop.

[C]

Sorry. So what happens?

[B]

It's a premeditated hip check.

[C]

Okay, so what? All right, cool. So what happens if she's playing defense and she's guarding the ball and somebody sets a hard screen on her like that?

[D]

That's not what happened.

[B]

That's fine then.

[C]

Would that be a flag? No.

[B]

Setting a screen.

[D]

That's a different play.

[C]

Okay, cool. What I'm saying in this play is she didn't grab her. She didn't throw her down. She didn't go above the neck. She didn't hit it in the head. She didn't take her legs out. She didn't do another thing. She bumped into her shoulder.

[B]

That would be in the NBA, too. That's a fact.

[C]

That would not be. That's corny. Are you kidding me? And not to compare. That would not. Are you kidding?

[B]

Even when the Sixers were hanging on the Knicks for every single inbound, they still didn't do that.

[D]

That.

[C]

Bro, listen, I can pull up so many videos of dudes getting bumped like that. That's. They're not selling it. They're not falling on the ground. If anything, they'll take the bump and turn and walk toward the player like they want to fight, but they not going to fall. And like, that wasn't that hard of a.

[B]

What did she sell? She got.

[C]

She got the foul called. What are you talking about? If she just got bumped like that and didn't fall, they. They wouldn't have called a foul.

[B]

So she saw that with eyes in the back of her head to anticipate that and fall.

[C]

No, she felt the bump and then fell.

[B]

She did not flop on that. She's not LeBron.

[C]

Cut it out, bro. Cut it out. I get it. I get it. And I love Kaitlin Clark, but she sold that. And there's nothing wrong with us selling it, but we not going to act like that was some egregious play and that Kennedy Carter is this terrible person.

[B]

I didn't say that. I don't know Kennedy card.

[C]

No, because some people are saying that. Some people are like, oh, dirty player. What?

[B]

It was a dirty move.

[D]

They pulled up a history.

[B]

I also think Draymond Green is a dirty player.

[D]

They're saying that because they pulled up a history of her. Here we go. Let's see. In 2021, she got terminated from Atlanta after threatening to beat up her own teammates. Swag.

[B]

That is true.

[C]

That happens every Day in every locker room.

[D]

Okay, but you're saying she's a history. Here's the history.

[C]

That doesn't make 20.

[D]

22 LA Sparks picked her up and waved her mid season for poor conduct. I don't know, played abroad, 23, whatever. But like that, that they kind of, you know, they pulled up receipts.

[B]

Oh, she assaulted Caitlyn Clark.

[A]

Oh, my God. So wait, are they. Is she picking on Caitlyn or is that just the way she plays? I need. Is it Uchi Wally or is it one mic?

[C]

She plays aggressive.

[A]

Exactly.

[C]

Like is what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to be aggressive, compete hard. You're going to get fouled, you're going to get hit hard. That doesn't mean that Kennedy Carter is a bad player. I understand the microscope that Caitlyn Clark is under. So everything is magnified a little bit. But I'm just talking looking at the play, the bump. If you want to call it a flagrant, cool. But it's not. That's not a flagrant foul. It's not a flagrant foul. Is it a foul? Yeah. Flagrant. No.

[B]

Then wait, it's just a foul. No, that's a flagrant. That was an intentional, unnecessary foul. That's what a flagrant is.

[C]

I don't think. I don't think that was. I don't think that was. It was a bump. Like I bumped into you and you fell. She didn't throw her down. She didn't grab her jersey and swing her around to the floor. No, she didn't do none of that. She bumped into her. She was about to get the inbound. She pressed up into her to guard her. There's nothing wrong with that. Did she send a message? Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I think that's fine. I beat the out the rookies, but I just think when. It's not a basketball play, to me that's just hitting.

[C]

Somebody bumped in basketball.

[B]

Yeah, I agree.

[C]

All right, then she bumped into her. That's all she did. She bumped into her side. She didn't bump into her back. She didn't push her two hands in her back and push it to the ground. She didn't do that. That she about to get inbound, run up, get up on her, bumped into her. Why is this even making headlines? Because it's Caitlin Clark.

[B]

Because she's that white from the Indiana team.

[C]

According to Pat McAfee. That's exactly what he said. Word for word, verbatim. Doing a great job, national TV.

[B]

Pat McAfee is crazy. Yeah.

[D]

Wipe it from the Indiana team.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And then just like paid mad respects after that statement.

[C]

Oh, you got to too.

[B]

To me, the white part wasn't crazy. It was the. That Indiana team. Like you.

[C]

Yeah. You don't know the Indiana Fever. You can't call them the Indiana Fever. Okay, I get it.

[B]

That's wild.

[C]

Well, I mean, Caitlyn, you know, this is what you got to deal with, man. You a high profile player, as great of a player she is, you know, team other players are gonna, they're want to see what she's really like. That it's not wrong with that.

[B]

Over the weekend, Twitter did compare Caitlin Clark to Jackie Robinson. Do you feel that way?

[C]

No, I do not. I do not feel like whatever Caitlyn is receiving and going through right now is anything remotely close to what the great legendary Jackie Robson had to deal with.

[B]

Who tweeted? Who tweeted that? Because that was one of the funniest tweets I've read in 2024. They're treating Caitlin Clark like Jackie Robinson.

[C]

People just go too far, man. Like, I get it, it's a joke. I know it's a joke. But like it's like, come on, man. Like it's enough is enough. Like, I get it. She got five out. It's not that serious.

[B]

Like, you don't think that's what Jackie went through?

[C]

Jackie definitely did not. That would. That's the least of what Jackie Robson had to deal with. Somebody bumping in this retweet.

[D]

Jackie Robinson didn't go through half of what Caitlyn Clark has gone through.

[B]

Someone else tweeted that she's the, the first white woman to go through racism. Oh, man.

[C]

Well, King had a last laugh though, when she league MVP in two years.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

It's not even, you know, give her some time. Yeah, she'll be fine.

[C]

She'll be just fine.

[B]

Angel's been balling too though. That was a fun game to watch.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're doing, they're doing a great job for the game, man. And like just what angel and Caitlin are doing, the, the attention and the audience that they're bringing to the wnba I think is great. And yeah, like this needs to happen. Bump into each other foul, you know, show that y'all competing, show that y'all really want that shit. Like it's all part of the game, man. I respect expected as long as nobody.

[D]

Got hurt in NBA news. Predictions for the finals did they start on Thursday?

[C]

I believe June 6th, first game, game one. I got Dallas in six I'm stealing your answer.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Dallas in six. I want to see Kyrie get another ring.

[B]

I don't think it's going seven.

[C]

No, I got Dallas. I got Dallas in six. What Luka and Kyrie have been able to do this far, and I think that Kyrie has been waiting for this opportunity to see Boston down the road. And I like what he said in one of his interviews. He said, no, Boston is just in our way. Like, he not even. He not even worried about Boston. They just in our way. Like, we know what we gonna do. And I just love the fact that, you know, Kyrie is on the stage, and after everything he went through in the past few years with the NBA, you know, them trying to defimate his character and make him look like somebody he's not. I think that this is the. The perfect, you know, kind of wink at. At the NBA. Like, yeah, y'all tried to get rid of me, but I'm back on the biggest stage in our sport. And I do think that the Mavericks will win in six.

[B]

I don't know. I mean, I think you're underestimating the thanos of racism when you have the white, white Irish Catholics combining with the Jewish community.

[C]

That's the fifth full ring. That's.

[B]

That's a tough group to go against.

[D]

Well, according to the. The odds makers, it looks like Boston is the favorite by the series spread a game and a half, so.

[C]

Oh, well, they got that wrong.

[B]

Yeah. Vegas trying to make us some money.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. I would take. If this is the case, I would take Dallas straight up.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I'm not even a gambler, but that's a nice little bet.

[B]

I am excited to watch the series, though.

[C]

Yeah, it's gonna be fun to watch. I want to see Kyrie back in Boston. I want to see how he responds to the booze and the unwelcoming fans and things like that, especially where he's at with his life right now. He's a very peaceful approach to life and, you know, competition and things like that, but he still has those moments where he let, you know he's a stone cold killer from the east coast. He's. He's a stone cold killer from the Tri State area. He.

[B]

He proves every now and then that the earth is actually flat.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

The way he plays.

[C]

Lay you flat on your ass, like, all right.

[B]

No, he's right. Gravity doesn't exist. Kyrie made a point.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If I played like that, I would think the earth was flat, too.

[C]

And what Luca's been doing is just. He's leading the playoffs in every statistical category.

[D]

I think the Kyrie. The Kyrie does with his left hand is insane. Like the, the floaters, the. The jump shot. Like, I think he for shits favors going left and using his left just to show people how good he is with. It's crazy what he does the way.

[B]

Like that corny when they compare like basketball to poetry and whatever Denzel said and he got game. I. I'm on that side with Kyrie now.

[C]

No, Kyrie is a.

[B]

Is a Shakespeare play.

[C]

Yeah. No, he's, he's, he's. He's fun to watch and it's hard to root against somebody that plays like Kyrie. Like, you just. If you've never watched a game of basketball and your first time seeing basketball was watching Kyrie play, you would definitely feel like that might be. He might be the best. If somebody said that's the best player, you would believe him.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

His game is just complete.

[D]

That left handed floater game winner. This one over Jokic is still one of the craziest plays I've ever seen from a guard. How did he. On the run offhand over a seven footer. What is that?

[B]

The confidence you have to. Have to even do that. Yeah.

[D]

To like to choose to go to your weak side. It's insane.

[C]

Yeah. It's hours.

[B]

You know what it takes to surprise Luca.

[D]

He's so good at all.

[C]

Yeah, just that. That's just. That's Kyrie though, man. That's. That didn't surprise me. Like, when I, When I saw that play, I just laughed because I know he practices that shot.

[B]

But even when we went to the. The Mavericks game when we were performing in Dallas, watching Luca too. Oh, I've seen a lot of live basketball. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, it's like in slow mo. It doesn't even look real.

[D]

He slow mo his way to a triple double. I remember that we were like watching. We're like Lucas doing all right. Let's check the. We looked up at the scoreboard like, oh, he's got like 35, 10 and 10.

[B]

He's playing at like intramural speed, but.

[D]

Somehow is better than everybody laughing the entire game. Like, he just looks like he's hanging out.

[C]

Yeah. I think they, they, they. I don't. I mean, I like Jason Tatum, I like Jaylen Brown, love Drew Holiday, but I don't think that they. I don't think they have enough to. To stop what Kyrie and Luca can do, so. It'll be fun to watch, though. Anything else?

[D]

No, that's all I got in mind. Happy Pride. We'll close the same way we started.

[C]

With Ray J. I got news for you. Means you're gay. It's all my gay.

[B]

That is Gay pride month.

[C]

Shout out to all my gay.

[B]

I mean, Ray J did tell Fab that he has people that will listen.

[C]

Man.

[B]

Never mind.

[C]

We'll talk to y'all soon. Be safe. Be blessed. I'm that. He's just Ginger. Peace.
