Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile now. I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment.

Host 3
Good.
Host 1
I'm good.
Host 5
I love. I like the tone from anyone there.
Host 3
I'm great.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 5
Is everyone just as upset as me that there's a no bag policy at WNBA games tonight?
Host 1
Oh, wow.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 1
Because you were just such a huge.
Host 3
There's no bag policy. Yep.
Host 5
So if they get it in there, you know what they did.
Host 3
So you can't go to a game with a bag.
Host 5
No cracking down, like.
Host 3
So if women have a purse, they can't get into the game.
Host 5
No.
Host 3
They do that anyway at games, don't they?
Host 1
Yeah, but stadiums, not usually at arenas.
Host 3
If you think they don't check your bag. Going to check your bag.
Host 1
I mean, like, allow bags. That's what I mean.
Host 5
Which is kind of crazy because how did you. Like. Because they check bags. So how did you miss the dildo the first four times?
Host 3
I keep telling you how they got it in.
Host 5
I know how they got it in, and it wasn't the bag.
Host 3
Yeah, like, if a guy. If a guy brought it in, he's gonna put it down his pants. If a girl brought it in, she gonna do the same. They're not gonna stop dildos from getting. I hope this is not to stop dildos from getting to the arena.
Host 5
No, it is.
Host 3
That's not gonna. I guarantee you there's gonna be a dildo thrown at a game tonight.
Host 5
Breaking no back policy has been implemented for tonight's WNBA games and attempt to crack down on the dildo throwers.
Host 3
Wnba. This is why y' all are lacking in viewership and money. Y' all are behind. No, they just don't understand. They don't get it. They think that people are bringing dildos in in bags. Well, yeah, He. He fits the bill.
Host 5
But this is what I was saying for fun.
Host 1
He have to.
Host 5
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Host 3
He.
Host 5
He actually didn't even know that was a trend at WNBA games. He already. He just had it on him. But this is what I was saying two episodes ago. How did they not Stop this guy. Like, you know, he's not here for the game.
Host 3
And he was by himself for sure. Yeah, yeah, he's the guy. How did you. Not anybody that buys a single ticket. Let's start there. Yeah, let's start there. He's got a single ticket for the game tonight. Step to this line right here. Yeah, we gotta take you in the back and give you a cavity search.
Host 5
I even think, like, going to an NBA game by yourself is a little weird. And I'm an advocate of doing pretty much everything by yourself. I just feel like going to a sporting event is like a social exper. Like experience. Like, you do that with your friends. I go to a movie by myself. I go out to eat by myself, all those things. But to go to, like, I'm following just to, like, go to the game.
Host 3
It's a little weird. Who are you? High five.
Host 5
I mean, I guess maybe if, like, there's other season ticket holders that you've known for a while, like, then that becomes friends, but just. Just, like, leave here. But I'm just gonna go with Nixon. Oh, who are you going with? It's going dolo. Yeah, you're gonna be like, all right, you're lying to me. Who. Who are you going with that you don't want me to know?
Host 3
Or you're meeting somebody there. Yeah, like, it's other people going. You might not be sitting in the same section, but we'll all be in the building for the game tonight.
Host 5
I think, like, maybe baseball, you could get that off, because I'm going to.
Host 3
I've gone to games by myself.
Host 5
But you knew people there.
Host 3
Yeah, that's the difference. Like, I knew people.
Host 5
I've gone to concerts by myself. I knew people that were going to be 100.
Host 1
I feel like baseball's too boring to be at the game. I would need company for a baseball game. A good, like, game, like, basketball game. I wouldn't need company for.
Host 5
Because there is a trend of those guys at baseball games that have, like, they're listening to the commentary on their headphones. They got the card and everything, which is kind of nuts because, like, I get it. But you could just watch this on tv. Like, you're by yourself. That's why you need the announcers. That's why you need to have headphones on when you're at the game.
Host 3
Yeah. Going to a baseball game alone is definitely a lot weirder than going to a basketball game.
Host 1
Yeah, that's.
Host 5
Oh, I think baseball would be the. The normal one.
Host 3
No way.
Host 1
That shit boring as Fuck. There's no way. And that's not. I don't mean, like, disrespectfully when I say boring. It's just so long. Like, that's. There's.
Host 3
Baseball games can be boring. I've been to a lot of boring Yankee games.
Host 5
I've been to some great ones, though.
Host 3
I've been to some great ones, too.
Host 5
I don't find baseball. Baseball on TV can be boring to me, but at the game, I think it's fun. But then again, I don't go alone. Like, I'm with company. I enjoy.
Host 3
Yeah. What's the greatest baseball game you ever been to? I'm trying to think.
Host 5
I went to Cal Ripken's first game.
Host 3
Off the first game he missed.
Host 5
And he was at the game. He was just walking around, and we were all doing standing ovations.
Host 3
That's funny.
Host 5
I think it was my first time at Camden Yards, too.
Host 3
You went to Cal Ripken's first game that he missed?
Host 5
Yeah, but he, like, just broke the record.
Host 3
That makes sense.
Host 5
No, no, no.
Host 3
That's like, on brand for. For you.
Host 5
No, but it pissed me off. Like, my dad told me he was taking me to the game. I wanted to see Cal Rivka. He's like, no, this is history. Like, he broke the record. Now he's taking a game. I was like, nah, I wanted to see him play.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
He just walking around the fucking game.
Host 3
Now that he got the record, it's like he don't even care no more. Yeah. Is anybody close to breaking that record? Right? Nobody. I think that's a record that's gonna last forever. That's definitely a record that's gonna last forever. For sure.
Host 5
I think I got David Cohn's autograph that day. Or that may have been another Orioles game.
Host 3
Greatest basketball game I've ever been to. 2000, 2001 NBA all star game in D.C. yeah.
Host 1
Where he was with Bow Wow and.
Host 5
And hov took his chick. Allegedly.
Host 3
Serena Williams told me to get the out of the way. Yeah. Because she was on the Simpsons.
Host 5
You want to know how white I am? On my 13th birthday, my mom took me to Yankee Stadium and got my name on the thing that says Happy Birthday.
Host 3
You felt like you had made it.
Host 5
I have the photo, like, the actual photo in my house still. It's like in my walk in closet. There's, like, an area where you can, like, put shit, and I have that.
Host 3
You got that frame?
Host 5
It's framed.
Host 3
Yeah, I've got it. Got it.
Host 5
I've had it framed since 2003. I just carry it with me. That was a great game. But I never went to, like, any iconic, iconic baseball games. I don't think. I mean, the World Series, when we won one game, that was probably the best baseball game I've ever been to. Yeah, that was fun, but that was also the only time I'd been. We could have lost. It was World Series. Like, that was amazing to just go.
Host 3
I got to get to a Yankee game. Well, I went to one with Sean because the Aurors was here, and they damn Oreos kicked our ass that day. Sean was happy about that, but I gotta get to another game.
Host 5
But I'm surprised you haven't been to more, like, iconic basketball games besides, like, an All Star game.
Host 3
No, I've been to. I think Kobe. Kobe gave the Knicks. We gave him 60 in the garden.
Host 5
That iconic game.
Host 3
Yeah, I think I was. I think it was 60 that he gave the Knicks. I was at that. Or it might have been a 50 point. 50. 50 something point game. I think it may have been 60. I was at that game. I was at a regular season. Jordan. I was going to say Jordan disrespect the Bulls. Bulls, Knicks game. I think Mike had close to 50 that game. I've seen. I've seen Penny Hardaway play in person. I'm getting old, man.
Host 1
Yeah, yeah.
Host 3
I see Penny Hardaway and Shaq play in the Garden. Like, I see that Orlando Magic team playing the guard.
Host 5
I saw. I saw Shaq play in Orlando. In Orlando. Like, I still have, like, you know, I have, like, weird flashbacks of your childhood when you were super young. I have, like, a main one of being at a. Seeing Shaq, you know, in a Orlando Magic jersey. Yeah, it was like, literally a kid's dream. I think we went to Disney World, and then we went to a Orlando Magic game.
Host 3
The only time I've been to Disney World is Florida, right?
Host 5
Orlando.
Host 3
Yeah. So I was at Epcot center for Michael Jackson movie I told you about.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Was it Captain eo? Y' all know nothing about Captain eo. See, y' all ain't real Michael Jackson fans. You know what I'm saying?
Host 5
You.
Host 3
You focused on Janet. Michael's the star. I'm waiting for you to say something.
Host 1
Slick, but don't be disrespectful.
Host 3
Fight. Michael is the star.
Host 1
They both were stars.
Host 3
Don't be Michael. Let me see you fight Michael as the star.
Host 1
They're both okay, but they're both star. You can't say, like, Jenna ain't Ray.
Host 3
J of Course, they're both stars.
Host 5
Well, first of all, let's not disrespect.
Host 3
Ray J. Ray J is a legend. We're not doing that. We're not disrespecting.
Host 5
He's the main character of my story.
Host 3
Yeah, he's the main character in everybody's story, everybody's dream. Ray J is there.
Host 5
He's somewhere affected all of our lives, specifically.
Host 3
Absolutely. Do y' all remember y' all dreams after y' all wake up sometimes?
Host 5
Sometimes? Yeah. It depends.
Host 3
I can't remember my dreams after I wake up.
Host 5
Do you smoke weed right before you go to sleep?
Host 3
No.
Host 5
Okay.
Host 3
I just can't remember my dreams. I had a dream about Chris Paul the other night, which was weird.
Host 1
That was gay as fuck.
Host 3
No, like, he was. He was playing. He was at work. He was playing basketball. Like, I don't. Like, I just saw Chris Paul. I was like, fuck is Chris Paul?
Host 5
I was gay for seeing Tom Brady in real life, but he's not gay for dreaming about Chris Paul.
Host 3
I didn't dream about Chris Paul. Yes, you did. Chris Paul was in my dream. It's a different.
Host 5
No, no, no.
Host 3
It was a difference.
Host 5
He was dreaming.
Host 1
He was the main character, for sure.
Host 3
He was not. I was the main character. Like, what are you talking about?
Host 5
Where were you?
Host 3
Like, Chris Paul was just somewhere, and I would just saw him, like, hooping. I was like, what the ball doing over there? Like, weird dream.
Host 5
Did you go to your dream book to try to figure out what that. What that meant?
Host 3
That's gay. If you have a dream book, I.
Host 5
Think you don't have one right next to your bed.
Host 3
I do not have a dream.
Host 5
Next to the photo of your Happy 13th birthday, Rory. @ Y.
Host 1
Like, every. Did everybody's parents have dream. But like, when I was younger, I remember my parents having a dream book.
Host 5
I had a dream catcher.
Host 1
I still have a dream catcher.
Host 3
What? You have a dream catcher? For what?
Host 1
I was sleeping. I was sleeping with a guy and I have dreams about. So, yeah, I ain't want that dreams crossing over into my dreams.
Host 3
I ain't sleeping with somebody, yo.
Host 5
Dreaming about what I was doing, bro.
Host 3
Yeah, this was last month for her. I was dreaming I was sleeping with somebody I didn't want to have dreams about.
Host 1
And I ain't want him in my dreams. That in my business. Too bad, huh?
Host 3
He was in the bed.
Host 1
Yeah, but he don't need to be in my business. And in my dreams.
Host 3
You don't have to live like this, baby.
Host 1
D. I don't live like this. Anymore. I have a very peaceful life. This was years ago.
Host 3
Okay. Seven.
Host 1
Seven exact.
Host 3
All right. Got you. All right. As long as it's seven years ago, it's all good. Doesn't count.
Host 5
Well, that was, like, one of the first lies. I was still believing in Santa Claus when I had a dream catcher, and they said that I wouldn't have nightmares if there was a dream catcher there. And I just continued to have them. So that's when I, like, started to feel like this was all full of shit.
Host 3
All the scary movies I thought was scary or not scary at all. I can't believe I was ever scared of, like, Nightmare on Elm Street.
Host 5
I don't know if there's ever. If there's really a scary movie. The Conjuring, like, ever.
Host 1
The Conjuring is scary.
Host 5
Yeah. But, like, skit, like you're scared.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 3
I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie.
Host 5
Like, I enjoy the conjuring a lot. I think it's phenomenal.
Host 3
Candyman had the hood shook up a couple few years.
Host 1
Oh, my God.
Host 3
Y' all niggas was scared to cut the lights off in the bathroom and say Candyman in the mirror.
Host 5
Oh, as a kid. Yeah.
Host 3
Yeah. Candyman had you shook. We ain't gonna do. We ain't gonna say Candyman. Wasn't.
Host 5
Were you more scared of Candyman or Bloody Mary?
Host 3
Candyman.
Host 5
Okay.
Host 3
By far.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Candyman was like, Niggas would not say Candyman in the mirror in the dark. I've seen grown. I saw that sold drugs and had guns on them that wouldn't do that. I'm like, hey, go to the bathroom and say Candyman. Because it's like, nah.
Host 5
Can't save you bringing a gun into the bathroom to say Candyman.
Host 3
You ain't saying Candyman in the mirror.
Host 5
Bloody Mary used to terrify me. I've told you guys about my older cousin Mike, who used to just, like, lie to me constantly as a kid to petrify me. He used to go in the bathroom, shut the light off, and hold me in, like, a bear hug and just do the Bloody Mary song and then would start screaming at the top of his lungs. I was, like, traumatized by him as a kid. He would do so much up to me. I told you, Tommy threw two ferrets in my bed when I was sleeping, too.
Host 3
Where did he get the fence?
Host 5
He had two ferrets. Bonnie and Clyde.
Host 3
He just. He had two ferrets. Bonnie and Clyde.
Host 1
Some white. He's white.
Host 3
That's definitely white.
Host 1
As hell.
Host 3
Owning Ferret. Definitely white. Those are white pets.
Host 1
I always wanted a fair, but they're rodents, so they smell. They have a smell.
Host 5
I've always wanted them.
Host 3
What made you want a ferret?
Host 1
Because they're very cute.
Host 3
No, they're not.
Host 1
I think ferrets are very cute.
Host 5
Again, when I was young, petrified of them because of what my cousin did. As I got older, I think they're adorable.
Host 1
They're very cute.
Host 3
Ferrets are.
Host 5
I wouldn't have one in the house.
Host 3
But look at that.
Host 5
No, they're cute. I would go to like a ferret farm, like for the day, but I wouldn't have one in the house.
Host 3
But they see that running around my house. I'm shooting it.
Host 1
They're so cute.
Host 5
But I mean, in New York you could mistaken that for an actual rat.
Host 3
Yeah, it's like a rat possum. Like, what is that?
Host 5
Yeah, but type in cute after that on Google images. Like don't, don't.
Host 3
Yeah, yeah, you gotta. They gotta find the cute.
Host 5
Show them all some like of the other versions of ferrets. That's still pretty ugly.
Host 3
Yeah, ferrets are definitely ugly.
Host 5
Oh, come on. It's probably AI.
Host 3
Yeah, definitely.
Host 1
So cute.
Host 5
All right, so I did Google. I didn't bring my dream book with me. But dreaming about a celebrity like Chris Paul can be interpreted in several ways. Projection of desire and aspiration. You may admire specific qualities that CP3 has, talents, achievements associated with him deep in your subconscious. And you want to embody Chris Paul in every single way.
Host 3
This is what AI saying. I want to embody Chris Paul.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Okay.
Host 5
Number two, need for recognition. Dreaming about a celebrity could symbolize a yearning for more recognition and appreciation in your own life, either personally or professionally. So maybe this pod, Chris Paul was a metaphor for this podcast and there's three of us on the mic.
Host 3
No, now that I remember, now that I think about. I know exactly why Chris Paul was in my dream. I was just talking about him the day before yesterday.
Host 5
Also, your subconscious mind may be using Chris Paul as a symbol to work through a current issue. Is there something maybe that could be related to Chris? Seeing Chris Paul as a confident person in your life could nudge you in my life to develop more self worth in my life. You think this would lie?
Host 3
I just think he's a great point guard. That's it.
Host 5
And number four, you view Chris Paul as a cultural architect.
Host 3
I don't know if I've ever looked at Chris Paul as a cultural architectural.
Host 5
Such as a hero, a leader or a Role model. Dreaming about them may connect this energy towards your own life experiences.
Host 3
Shout out to Chris Paul, man. Yeah. One of my favorite players ever that we know. Yeah.
Host 5
He's dreaming.
Host 3
So I'm in my dream. Yeah.
Host 5
Who else do you, like, usually dream about?
Host 3
I don't know. I don't remember my dreams. After being up for, like, 10 minutes, I can't remember same, like, faces. I can't remember, like, in depth what I dreamt about. I could remember, like, moments, but I can't remember in depth, like, everything I was thinking about.
Host 1
You ever dreamt about me and Rory? No, never. You see us every fucking day. You never dreamt about us.
Host 3
Never saw you in my dream.
Host 1
Okay. I think you just don't remember. You forgot within the first 10 minutes.
Host 3
I know I would have told you. I would have came in here and told you that. That you was in my dream.
Host 5
So you dream about Chris Paul, but not us? None of us ever.
Host 3
Well, I didn't. I didn't choose to dream about Chris Paul. He just happened to be in my dream. Like, and it wasn't even, like a NBA game. He was, like, in the gym and he was just hooping, and I was like. It was random. It's like, the. Is Chris Paul doing here?
Host 5
What were you doing there?
Host 3
That's what I'm saying. I was just like, all right, whatever. We. In the gym.
Host 5
What's. What's your theories on deja vu? Do you think that comes from dreams or past life experiences?
Host 3
I think it's a mix.
Host 5
Reincarnation.
Host 3
I think it's a mix of past experiences. Things you've thought about. Yeah, past experiences and things you thought about kind of aligning and making the situation or the moment feel familiar. Like, damn, I've. I've seen this moment before. So I think you've thought about that moment happening before.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
And then when it does happen, it's like, oh, shit.
Host 5
I mean, I've interpreted it that way, and depending on how pessimistic I'm feeling at the time, either, I think it means I'm in the place I should be right now. Like, this is this energy. Makes sense. Or you could go, like, the final destination, Raven, Simone route, and, like, somebody's about to die.
Host 3
Yeah. I don't go. That's a little. Okay. A little morbid, a little dark. I don't go that, man. Yeah. I don't go that far.
Host 5
But you're not one of the chosen ones like me and Raven.
Host 3
You're right. Absolutely right.
Host 1
I just believe I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be at this exact moment. Like, I'm. I'm on the right timeline. I'm in the metaverse.
Host 5
But have you ever been in a spot you didn't want to be in and got deja vu and you were like, fuck, no. Why should I have? Why is this the right place to be?
Host 1
Like that girl crib.
Host 3
I've been in the spot and gotten anxiety and was like, why am I here right now?
Host 5
Yeah. I mean, that's my life every day. That's how I feel about the planet Earth.
Host 3
Why am I here?
Host 5
I think I'm smoking weed again.
Host 3
Earth gives you anxiety. Earth gives you anxiety.
Host 5
It does. Doesn't make any sense. So one of. One of our listeners shout out to her. Damaris. We met her in Vegas.
Host 1
Okay.
Host 5
She. She sent me this meme. I fact check it, because I don't know if it's. It's accurate, but she was saying we're right about time being a construct, because apparently in 2025 and 1941, every single day is the exact same. Like, from the number of. Of the month to the day of the week to the leap year to everybody.
Host 3
Say that again. 1941. What?
Host 5
To 2025. It's the exact same calendar. Like, nothing is. Is different as far as the days, numbers, months, leap years. Everything is the exact same. It could be, but that's not true.
Host 3
Because my birthday was on a.
Host 5
You were not alive in 1941.
Host 3
You said every day is the same from 1941.
Host 5
No, no, no. From the year 1941. The calendar year of 1941 and the calendar year of 2025 are the exact same, which has not happened. So also, if time is just a loop in repeating itself, I mean, we're definitely going to go into World War III this year.
Host 3
Then this.
Host 5
This was when everything kind of shifted and went to. In 1941. And it kind of feels like the exact same thing is happening in 2025. So. Okay, so the world is really what I'm talking.
Host 3
World is having deja vu right now?
Host 5
Yes.
Host 3
The Earth?
Host 5
Yes. To Adolf Hitler. They're having to everything that happened.
Host 3
Deja vu. Yes, I get it. Okay. All right. I'm excited now. You excited, PJ? Yeah. See what was going on in 1941.
Host 5
Can you just, like, type in cultural moments of 1941, just someone's idea of what, like, happened in that calendar year? Well, we're in August already.
Host 3
Yeah, but they say we six months through the year already. No more than eight months through the Year, like. Yeah.
Host 5
So wasn't hiroshima. That was 44. Well, no, Pearl harbor was definitely 19. 41-12-7.
Host 3
Right.
Host 5
All right, so that happened in December.
Host 3
Okay. All right.
Host 5
So. All right, so hey, if you're by the intrepid.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
In.
Host 3
In December. December, yeah.
Host 5
Get far the away from it because something is definitely going to happen.
Host 3
All right, got you.
Host 5
San Diego. I suggest going north. It could be a weird December.
Host 3
The United States entered World War II after the attack on Pearl harbor while the war was already underway in Europe with the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Okay. All right, so December 7th, and I.
Host 5
Feel like time is just repeating itself watching all the kids that are younger than us have the same debates that we had on the Internet, the idiotic ones, too. I mean, thank God the 200 date one is done. But that's. That's because inflation made it 500. And no one's going on dates because they stay in their basement. So that one won't. But I. I saw Josh had brought up Tick Tock is doing Michael Jackson versus Beyonce again. And. Which is fine. Even when my generation was having the debate, it was tough because we weren't around for all of Michael. Like, we really got introduced to Michael from Free Willy. He was already a superstar. But these young kids didn't even see Beyonce. They know nothing of what they're talking about in this debate. And as much as I am beehive, it's not a debate.
Host 3
I think the debate is just the fact that Beyonce is, you know, probably the greatest star of her generation. So you're going to compare her to other great stars of their generations. Michael Jackson, obviously being the greatest star of his generation. I could see where the debate, you know, it's like you got to compare greats to greats. I get that part of it. But let's be very clear. Michael Jackson, as famous and as popular as he was and is, without social media, without things that we have now to kind of like, keep up with our famous, our favorite celebrities and artists, for him to be that popular and that famous worldwide with no social media, that should put things in perspective for you.
Host 5
Even while he was alive, I could go to any city and guarantee that there would be a Michael Jackson interpreter, whatever the fuck those people are called, I could walk outside right now and I guarantee there's someone on the corner dressed as Michael dancing for $2 bills.
Host 1
Yeah, impersonator.
Host 5
That's what it is. Yeah. I just feel like no one other than the Naked Cowboy has more of those than Michael Jackson.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
I Mean, maybe down the line, Beyonce will have those.
Host 3
But I just, you know, I mean, Beyonce let's me listen. She has. She's selling out stadiums, and as Beyonce.
Host 5
Women, she's more popular or more famous than Michael Jackson.
Host 3
No, I know that, but I'm just saying she has, you know, women dressed like Beyonce and they try to look like Beyonce. Like, she has those type of fans as well, where people want to look like her. But I mean, just the scale of what Michael Jackson did, when he did it, how he did it, there's nothing we will. I don't think we'll ever see anything like that again.
Host 5
I do want to apologize to your generation, because I'm now seeing as I get older, how stupid we did sound. Like in our teens and in our 20s when we would debate music topics with you guys. Because, like, the way I watch the kids that are 10 years younger than me talk with such confidence about what the 50 cent movement was like or what the Nelly movement was like, makes my blood boil. I need to get it out of my algorithm. The same, not only the same debates, new debates that I never thought would even have to be brought up is with like, 50 Cent versus HOV on the MC side. But then you look under the comments, everyone's like, oh, 50. He has one album. Like, he took over five years. He took an entire era over. Yeah, I just need to get off any Internet debate with children.
Host 3
But it's the era. It's the generation, you know, Like, I sounded crazy to some older heads when I, you know, was watching basketball and I felt like Michael Jordan was the greatest ever. People was bringing up Kareem. People was bringing up Dr. J. And it's like, you understand the errors, like, okay, like, you know, but as we look back, it's like, okay, yeah, no, I think we got it wrong. Like, that dude was the greatest.
Host 5
This is one with sense, at least, because I do agree with this. Jay Z never had a year, like, 0350. Kendrick never had a year, like, 0350. Jeezy never had a year. Ti never had a year. Revisionist history. I agree. The only one closest to that. I will say and cover your ears more. Kendrick may have been the only one that had a year, like, oh, 350 of last year.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 5
Other than that. Nah. Was never a time.
Host 3
It.
Host 5
It was the biggest dominance I had ever seen in hip hop as far as a moment.
Host 3
I think Carter needs to be up there, Cart.
Host 1
Yeah. Yeah.
Host 3
Nobody's ever had a year like Cardi.
Host 1
2000, first album 18, 20, 18 or 17 Cardi, I think.
Host 5
Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. But even I'm saying also, just like, dominance of everything, like video games, clothes, brand deals. Like, I'm not taking anything but, like, 50 legitimate worlds.
Host 3
No, he. He. His wave was his impact when. When he dropped. And it's funny because, you know, 50, you know, people, some people, that's when they first learned about 50. When this album came out. Like, people didn't know what 50 was doing on the mixtape scene before that. You know what I mean? Verses he had, you know, so it was dope to kind of follow 50 from that and see that moment happen. Cause it's like, okay, it happened for him. He took off. He's a megastar. But, you know, don't get it twisted. 50 had his years of grinding and, you know, you know, beefing. You know, I guess you could call it clout chasing now, where he was just dissing people and, you know, that's the things that 50 was doing to get his name out there.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
How to rob was, you know, the epitome of I'm just going at. I'm just going at any and everybody because I'm trying to get my off.
Host 5
See, Yes, I guess by definition would definitely be clout chasing.
Host 3
Shout out to duck.
Host 5
But for sure, here's the difference. I feel like with 50, clout chasing and nowadays clout chasing, 50 knew 50 was really talented. That plus he knew what he was getting into and was down to beef with anybody for real. Like, these kids clout chase from inside their house, knowing that they don't have to run into any of these people. 50 picks some of the most dangerous human beings on planet Earth and was like, I'm outside right now.
Host 3
Yeah. And it was a different.
Host 5
That's. I don't even know that's. It's stupid, but it worked.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
I don't know if that's clout chasing.
Host 3
No, I'm saying this era would call that clout chasing.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
But 50 was. He was being himself. You know what I mean? He was like, fuck it. I'll go at all of y'. All. If y' all want to fight, we could do that. Yeah. Like, you know, he was just. His energy, the bully energy that he came in with was valid because if you know 50, you know that he didn't have no problem scrapping, fighting, shooting, whatever you. However you wanted to do it. He was going to make sure that.
Host 5
He became who he is today while we're on music. I mean, if you're Listening to this now, Jid God Does Like Ugly is out right now. I cannot wait to hear that album.
Host 3
I wonder how Conway feels about that title.
Host 5
What Conway's is.
Host 3
Conway dropped album. God don't like Ugly.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Okay.
Host 5
I thought it was. Maybe God does like Ugly, then that would have been a real. Like an actual rip. But I'm sure he doesn't feel any type of way because it's a flip on a. A saying that's been around forever.
Host 3
No, no, no, for sure. I get that. But, you know, I mean, I'm just trying to start rap before.
Host 5
All right, well, then Throw. This is my white podcast today. Throw Atmosphere in the mix. He has an album called that.
Host 3
Yeah, but Atmosphere is not Jid. Like, it's a difference. It's just. It's just love.
Host 5
I'll do that. I wasn't biggest Slug Atmosphere fan, per se, but he did do a lot for Sad Whites.
Host 3
Okay.
Host 5
Like, they. Yeah, I mean, he needs. He needs to be in the. In the mix. It's like. It's like Prince and then him. As far as that state.
Host 3
Everybody says it's Princeton. Everybody.
Host 5
Everybody.
Host 3
That's not the first time that's been said.
Host 5
The way they're having the Michael Jackson Beyonce debate is the same. Prince versus Slug.
Host 3
Absolutely.
Host 5
In Minnesota. Yeah, for sure.
Host 3
I'm looking forward to this Jid project, though. I want to hear what he did. Hear the music. He's. Is. Wait, this is not. This is.
Host 5
This is the album.
Host 3
This is the audible.
Host 5
No, no, no. He put that EP out when. Okay, this is the one. This is the album. Album.
Host 3
Got it.
Host 5
Like I said last episode. A bunch of people have heard it and are tweeting about it. They say it's incredible. I'm super excited. And to make it all about me, it'll add to my 2025 prediction list where you guys have to buy me daisies. I'm going daisies now.
Host 3
Why?
Host 5
Okay.
Host 3
What did you say?
Host 5
I said clips and Jid will have rap album of the year.
Host 3
Okay.
Host 5
So far, I'm doing. I'm one for one there. And I have a lot of confidence in. My God, Jed. I think it's going to be a great album. Mainly because he told Eminem. Sorry. So it's got to be. It's got.
Host 3
You got to have some shit on it.
Host 1
But you're changing stuff just to fit your narrative. Because you just said that you were thinking Alfredo 2 was going to be one of them of the best albums of the year.
Host 5
No, because I didn't even know Alfredo 2 was gonna.
Host 1
No, I'm not talking.
Host 5
I didn't predict that Alfredo a week before it came up.
Host 1
I'm not talking about your predictions. I'm talking about when the album came out. You said, I might like this more than Eclipse album. This might be better than Eclipse album. Didn't he say that?
Host 5
Yeah, but time has to go into the end of the year. I don't make my album of the year confident, definitely. Unless we're in December. But I think right now it's pretty safe to say that the Clips is a candidate for Rap album of the year.
Host 1
Oh, no, I agree. But I was just going off.
Host 5
What you said that, and I'm not sure I. I do go back to clips more. Since Alfredo 2 was dropped, I've been. Alfredo 2's been getting a lot of burn. It's actually really just been flipping back and forth with them. But Clips has been out longer, and I still have not taken it out of rotation. It's like the first thing I think when I get in the car, I'm like, let me just put this clip. That's really just what I think.
Host 1
So I'm here to give Rory his flowers because he was right about me liking Freddie Gibbs if I was to give him a chance. So here are your flowers.
Host 3
You listen to the album?
Host 1
I did.
Host 3
That was your first time listening to a Freddie Gives album?
Host 1
Yes.
Host 3
Alfredo, too.
Host 1
Yes.
Host 3
Welcome.
Host 5
Which I'm. I'm excited for you, because now that you like Alfredo, too, you just go through his whole catalog. There's even better.
Host 1
I really like Mar a Lago.
Host 5
Yeah. Rug is fire. But I was trying to tell you. He's like us. He's a piece of like us. And you would relate to the music like us.
Host 1
Like. Like you. Like, you don't put me on the opposite list.
Host 5
My bad, my bad. I know.
Host 1
Yeah. Like, I like. I like Mar a Lago Lemon pepper steppers.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
I hate when people try to rebrand.
Host 5
It's a whole reboot. I totally peeped it.
Host 3
What are you talking about? Yo, I don't know what you. Yo, chill, yo. Like, real talk.
Host 1
I said I wasn't a piece of shit.
Host 3
Yo, just chill, though. Like, just chill.
Host 1
Just because I said I wasn't a piece of shit.
Host 3
I'm just saying, just chill. No, like, what's up? Like, just because I thought I wasn't a piece of. When you start elevating and you start trying to be a better woman. See?
Host 1
You see?
Host 3
You see how many times, like, still be a piece of. Around me.
Host 5
Yeah, I don't like that.
Host 1
Yeah, I've always been a great woman.
Host 3
Great. I don't know about great. You've been a good woman. You got some piece of ways about you, though.
Host 1
Listen, well, I elevated to great. I went from good to great.
Host 3
I respect it. Yeah, I ain't mad at that.
Host 5
So it's just that one. One week where therapy goes good or you're having a healthy situationship that you think that you'll be. You'll be back.
Host 3
You'll be back.
Host 5
It'll be warm right here. Don't worry.
Host 3
We'll keep this. You'll be back.
Host 5
I was asked one of my favorite scenes of the Sopranos, when Janice is, like, trying to become a better person and she has on her positive vibe and Tony's getting tight because she's like, becoming a better person and not a piece of like him. So just starts talk about all the people she at a Sunday dinner and she freaks the out. That's such a nasty thing to do to your sister. Just because she's getting over everything and being a good human being, you got to bring her back down. Nah, be toxic down here with me.
Host 3
Yeah, I don't want that's y' all.
Host 1
Right now being haters. Naming who I fucked that Sunday dinner.
Host 3
That's y' all naming who you fucked that Sunday. I've never named who you fucked at Sunday dinner. Never have I ever done no shit like that.
Host 5
I don't know if you guys have been to Sunday dinner together.
Host 3
No, but I've never done. I know what she's saying. I've never done that to you. Don't pay me. I know. I know the better for, but I've never done that. I've never. Maybe not doing that. Damaris, you know we're not doing that.
Host 5
You saw the video on TikTok of a girl's sister, made her a birthday video with all the guys that she slept with. They all were wishing her happy birthday.
Host 3
And it was.
Host 5
It was a long video. And a lot of them were just, like, saying happy birthday real quick.
Host 3
It was a quick cut, like a.
Host 5
Minute 34, trust me. And she's filming her on the couch like this. I'm like, yo, that's the most up thing. How diabolical do you have to be to also, even, like, know how to use your. Your powers for good? Like, how do you even know how to reach out to all those people and find them and then get them to do that?
Host 1
So I think that's a funny idea. Something me and My group chat will laugh about. But TikTok should have never seen it. TikTok shouldn't see it. No one should see that but us. Like, that's funny to put in a group chat. That's not.
Host 3
Like, do you do that at the birthday? Like, is she. Obviously she's in a relationship now.
Host 5
Oh, God, I hope not.
Host 3
Yeah. Like, how does the current boyfriend feel? Crazy.
Host 1
Now she can't.
Host 5
That'd be insane if she was in a relationship because, you know, like, her boyfriend probably be there for her birthday. Or boyfriend was the last guy in the video.
Host 3
Good guy.
Host 5
How do you think she pitched that to people? Because there's no way out of that lengthy video. I'm not judging the girl, but that your sister would know every random person that you.
Host 3
Or just the ones she knew. Like, it could be. No, it's a sister. Sister probably told her guy she was dating, guy she had hooked up with.
Host 5
Like, are you doing that? Because if it's a girl I slept with, Sister DMs me with that pitch. I know I would hold it down. But yo, I never be.
Host 3
If my sister tried to get a video of all the girls I slept with, it'd be like, roots.
Host 5
Oh, no.
Host 3
All right, Baby D. What happened? I'm just saying it's roots and then it's me. That's all I'm saying.
Host 5
I did in fact send that.
Host 3
The Jackson story on.
Host 1
You think I break that apart?
Host 3
That three weeks.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
The new edition on bet. That's my.
Host 5
And I guess I shouldn't tell you that I did send the video to your sister and it's already in the work.
Host 3
Oh, God. Jesus.
Host 5
We're. We're working against the clock. But yeah.
Host 3
Sorry.
Host 5
We're trying.
Host 1
You said, happy birthday, Mama.
Host 3
Oh, the marriage stop.
Host 5
Video.
Host 3
This is how she get cursed out. And I'm trying not to. Like, I'm trying.
Host 5
I sent the video I'm talking about.
Host 1
Oh, okay.
Host 5
To his sister so we could work on a video.
Host 1
Oh, okay.
Host 5
For Mall's birthday.
Host 1
Okay.
Host 5
Of all the women they slept with, which is three, twin one set him up.
Host 1
Like that twin wants something like that.
Host 3
She definitely wouldn't. No way. I don't know. I think she did. She would never.
Host 5
It was all seven years ago. That's why it's tough to find everyone.
Host 3
All seven years ago.
Host 5
I'm. I'm holding it down. I'm really telling that sister. Like, no, I didn't even be. I'm not making that video. That would be in. I think the guys are just as Sick. And all of those guys agreed, which means she has a weird type. Like, that's a nasty.
Host 3
No, but do the guys know that that's what the video is for?
Host 1
Probably just like, hey, I'm putting together happy birthday video. Say happy birthday.
Host 5
Well, I think most people have had sex with a person that they never really spoke to again. Or it was a very quick, quick, intimate. Why the. Is somebody reaching out to me to say happy birthday to you? I'm having so many. So many questions on that.
Host 1
I think you're overthinking it. If someone reached out to you was like, hey, I'm doing a birthday video. Like, you know, everybody.
Host 3
They got to know that y' all still, like, was cool, though. Like, y' all had, like, a cool.
Host 5
Oh, no. In the video, the girl was like, my God. Like, she was definitely pissed at a few of it.
Host 3
Was some people something in there that she definitely didn't ever want to hear happy birthday from again.
Host 5
What was up is when the girl went on the couch and was like, oh, my God, it's gross. She then panned to the screen and showed the guy. I was like, damn, this guy. Now this guy has to see this.
Host 3
Yeah, it's all right. It's all right to know that women don't want you wishing them happy birthday.
Host 5
No, she was saying, ew, I can't believe I had sex with that person. It wasn't ew. His happy birthday wish didn't hit. It was ill.
Host 1
Sometimes.
Host 3
Sometimes you gonna be ill. I'm sure I've been ill. Oh, absolutely. For sure.
Host 5
How do you. How do you think. Forget the birthday thing. Let's. Let's say, since we're being deep and philosophical about the time and everything, let's say you die and, like, you just get to see all the people that you slept with. Like, that's part of your flashback of your whole life. Like, how are you gonna feel?
Host 3
I hope that doesn't happen.
Host 1
I feel like I'm in hell.
Host 3
Yeah. I'm like, damn, I'm on my way down.
Host 1
Yeah. God wouldn't do this to me.
Host 3
Yeah. God wouldn't do this. This ain't God's work. God does, like, ugly.
Host 5
Like, what was it, the movie Ghosted girlfriend passed. Like, when he has that one dream where he's with all the chicks that he slept with, and, like, he gets backstories of, like, who's related, who there'd be. So I would. I would probably think I should. I should probably go to hell.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
I totally get it. I see where the decision is here.
Host 3
Nah, man. Send me to heaven. Ain't going to hell for these women and their sins. God forgave me for mine.
Host 1
Ma, you think you're going to heaven?
Host 3
Absolutely.
Host 1
Peach scoffed.
Host 3
Yeah, he. He scoffed at the question, Baby D. Not at the answer. Like, yeah, absolutely, Roy.
Host 1
You think you're going to heaven? Y' all are very confident.
Host 3
I'm definitely going to heaven. Definitely. And if I. For some reason, I'm not. Like, I'm talking. I know somebody that knows somebody. I'm getting into heaven.
Host 1
My. It's not.
Host 3
Dude, I know somebody. I know somebody. I'm getting in there.
Host 5
But no, see, this is where I don't think that's going to work for you, because you refuse to ever hit anybody up for, like, a favor.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
Or like, you know, I'm not asking nobody for tickets, like, that type of thing, so I feel like you'd be stubborn, like, in What's. What's the. That the Catholic Church made up of. Yeah. Limbo. Purgatory. I think you should be standing outside of Purgatory like this. Like, I'm not. I'm not texting.
Host 1
I'm not gonna ask for no.
Host 5
No ticket again. If they don't want me in the Pearly gigs, I ain't going to Pearly.
Host 3
It depends on who at the. Who at the door. It depends on who doing the door.
Host 5
Abraham.
Host 3
Nah, I'll wait. I'm getting there. Lincoln. All right, man.
Host 5
He's tall. He's making good bounce.
Host 3
He said Lincoln. No, man, Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln. You think Abraham Lincoln is at Pearly, like, at the gate?
Host 1
You think actual Abraham is waiting at the Pearly gates, like he got other to do?
Host 5
No, it's his party, though.
Host 3
Somebody at the gate, like, it's.
Host 5
They crew.
Host 3
Whoever at the gate. I'm. I'm good. Trust me.
Host 5
It's pretty much. To me, it's. It's all. It's going to be all the figures of each religion. It's like. It'll be religious Palooza. Like, it's all their whole.
Host 3
I'm going see somebody. Like, not small, like, Yo, Chi. He with us.
Host 1
Who do you think you guys?
Host 3
Somebody. Somebody gonna be in there.
Host 5
Then you just killed them off in this story. Like, they all. They're also.
Host 3
No, meaning somebody that's already dead.
Host 5
Like, I'm gonna see them outside smoking a cigarette.
Host 3
I'm gonna see them through the gate. Yeah, like, yo. Like, he tripping. He's trying to send me back. I ain't going down there. Like, yo. Nah, he with us. He. He on the list.
Host 1
And then somebody just gonna. You're just gonna hear a TV flick on, and it's just gonna be podcast clips.
Host 5
Rolling side, though, if podcast clips get you to hell, hell's gonna be packed. Yeah, there's no way it'd be like that down there.
Host 3
Yeah, it'd be like that down there.
Host 5
Unlike y', all, I'm a Catholic, so I just have to, like, be like, yo, my bad. And I'm. And I'm cool. That's really all I have to do to get heaven.
Host 3
You say you're bad.
Host 5
Yeah, my bad.
Host 3
I say that every night. I know I'm going to heaven.
Host 5
I was tripping.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 1
So I'm the only one that might be going to hell?
Host 3
Yeah, I think you definitely going to hell, though.
Host 1
Definitely.
Host 3
It's crazy, because I just know you just did some shit in your past that's just unforgivable.
Host 1
No, I've never done anything unforgivable. I could be forgiven.
Host 3
According to who?
Host 5
Because if I ask the Old Testament or the New Testament, if I ask.
Host 3
The victim, I'm sure they'd say different.
Host 5
The victim is crazy.
Host 1
Well, some victims aren't here.
Host 3
Maybe he definitely got victims.
Host 1
Okay. But some victims aren't here anymore, so they couldn't really. You couldn't really ask them. I didn't. I mean, I didn't. I didn't kill them. I didn't kill them, but they're just not here.
Host 5
I know what I'm saying. But you would be at the place that they would be at. They couldn't. Like, they could go to the door and be like, no, no, no, she not good.
Host 1
No, I ain't really. Nah. I feel like. I don't know. I just. Sometimes I feel that some of the ways that we live, even though we may be good people inside, some of the ways that we live are a little selfish. I don't think God be fucking with it sometimes, that's all.
Host 3
How. How does it feel going to the funeral of somebody you would, like, with.
Host 1
In a relationship with?
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 1
I mean, I don't. I can't say it stings. More or less. It stings. It depends. It depends on how much you love the person.
Host 3
I always thought about that.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 5
Like you were in a relationship at the time that they passed. Like, you're in the front row either. Okay. Yeah. Only that I'm aware of one girl I slept with that passed, but I. I didn't go to the funeral because we weren't close.
Host 3
Yeah. Like, two girls On Facebook, two girls that I. I dated passed, and I didn't go to the funerals. Well, it was. The funerals were out of town then. I wasn't one of them. I didn't even know about until after she passed away.
Host 5
But how long after?
Host 3
Like, three weeks.
Host 5
Okay. Oh, so that funeral happened?
Host 3
Yeah, but I always thought about that, like, somebody who's in a relationship with, like, actually going to their feeling. Like, what is that feeling?
Host 1
Like, it's. It's rough. I'll be thinking I'm like, damn, like a dead body don't count no more.
Host 3
But, yo, Bryson, Tiller Devices is out.
Host 1
I'm just saying, don't come.
Host 5
Remember I said that. How could a podcast clip get you to hell?
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
I was immediately proven wrong. Like, immediately proven wrong.
Host 1
A dead body is a dead body. Like, it's not.
Host 3
It still count. It still counts. Damaris. I don't. I don't know what type of. You like the mechanic. You like the mechanic? You like the mechanic that know how to roll the miles ball.

I just got in. Let me get my feet wet. Talk to Jesus and them. You know what I'm saying? Get in good with the home.
Host 5
Yeah. Like, am I getting tickets for Scotch and tequila Damaris combined, because that's a liability. Or my name with the tickets?
Host 3
Because my thing is, once. Once I'm sitting. Once I'm sitting with Jesus and I'm trying to advocate for baby. For him to let Baby D in, and he pull up the video of burgers and bottles. Like. Like, what I'm supposed. What I'm supposed to do with that? Like, hey, man, I don't feel like I didn't even know she was.
Host 5
I just think it's funny that you think that you would even be in, like, the VIP section like that. To even be kicking it, of course.
Host 3
Like, that's my man.
Host 5
No, I think you'll be ga heaven for sure. I just don't know. He's gonna snatch your chain in the club and say, I don't look like this. Yo, that's not even me showing that. Like, Id, like, yo, I know him like, dog, that's not what he looks like.
Host 3
It's the VIP pass. I'm already rumbling they're gonna send you.
Host 5
To Julius Caesar's section. Like, that's what he looked like.
Host 3
Yeah, yeah, but Baby D. Yeah, don't. Don't tell him you with me. Please don't.
Host 1

Host 3

Host 1

Host 3
Y' all know my story. See, See, that's why I'm like, wait. Burgers and bottles on the big screen. I'm telling you. I'm telling you what God gonna do.
Host 5
How many sexes do you think there'll be in. In heaven, though? Like, VIP wise? Because I don't know if, like, if.
Host 3
I'm gonna run into.
Host 5
I think I'll get there. I just don't know if I'm gonna, like, run into Jesus and kick it with him.
Host 3
No, but it's not. It's not like, kick it with him. It's kind of like, you see him, he give you the head nod, like, good job. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you did good. You know you're not kicking it with Jesus. You see the big homie. You like head nods, like, you see the big homie. Like, yo, what's good?
Host 5
Like, I just, like, I don't think I'll be in the same area as Nelson Mandela. Like, that's who I think is gonna, like, chop it up with Jesus. I don't even think I'll get ahead. I don't even think I'll be able to see that part.
Host 3
Nah, you're gonna be with Simply Red in them. Simply Red Dead. Damn. I just killed Simply Red.
Host 5
I think so.
Host 3
My bad. Simply Red. That's. My God, man.

Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Bryson Tiller Devices is out. I'm looking forward to this anytime. I think Bryson Tiller is one of the artists that. His discography is incredible. I don't think Bryson Tiller has ever put out a terrible project. For the most part, all of his projects are dope. Bunch of joints on there and it's always good to see artists that we like, that we've listened to over the years still be relevant, still be able to put out good work. I'm looking forward to the vices.
Host 5
Also gonna announce the last one that is out as well right now. A very like, quick announcement. Did that not throw y' all off a little bit? I mean, Gun has been putting up crazy numbers since he's been home. Like, I didn't expect him to just throw something out. I felt like that would have been a longer rollout of how important, you know, gunna is to the label music, period, right now. Yeah, because he's. He's doing numbers. Numbers since he got out.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 5
To just throw some out.
Host 3
Gun has been through a lot, man. He's been through a lot of ups. Like, you know, had his moment where it looked like he was being exiled from the culture, nobody was fucking with him. Came home, put out a dope project, hit the gym, got in shape and back with another album, sold out shows, had Baby D crying at the Barclays, shout out to Gunna. Man, he was able to overcome that, that moment.
Host 5
Okay. He's got Whiz kid Burna Boy. Do we think there's gonna be a different type of sound?
Host 1
Oh, we're gonna shake ass Whiz kid.
Host 3
And burn a boy.
Host 5
This features. Yeah, yeah, I can see this being a ass shaking album for sure. But that's a lot of drops tomorrow.
Host 3
Yeah, this is gonna. Bryson Tiller, which one are you listening.
Host 5
To first at midnight tonight? We're recording this on August 7th at midnight.
Host 1
Bryson.
Host 3
I gotta go. Bryson, it's too late to hear rap. I'm trying to settle down for the night.
Host 1
Ma don't like rap at night. Ma don't like rap. Ma don't like rap.
Host 3
I love rap. Rap, like real rap. Like JID is rap. I'm definitely gonna listen to JIT, but I don't know if I'm listening to JID at midnight.
Host 1
So in between hours of 2pm and.
Host 3
Like 8pm commute, like around like 12, 1, 2, 3 dumb hours up until like 10. And then after that, we're gonna. We're gonna. We're gonna mellow down. We're gonna R b it after 10:00pm.
Host 5
All right, Mo, are you saying that. But there was the rumor, which I think is confirmed now, that the vices disc one that comes out tomorrow is a full rap album. He's putting out two, and the first one comes out tomorrow, and that's supposed to be a full rap album. Boss Mandelo, Rick Ross, T. Pain Plows, Bumby Baby Drill. Like. Yeah, I think, think. I think there's gonna be more of a rap album than Jids is gonna be by. By your midnight standards.
Host 3
All right, Is it just up tempo? It's rap on it. And Tiller has the hook, maybe a bridge. Or is it like Bryson rapping?
Host 5
This is how I know y' all not. Bryson's a rapper. Bryson rapped on so much of trap soul.
Host 1
He's very good too.
Host 5
Like Rambo. He's rapping rap like he. He rapped on a lot of trap soul.
Host 3
Nobody. I'm not saying Bryson Tiller can't rap, but just when you tell me he has a disc, he's dropping a double disc, and one disc is him all rapping with rappers. I'm a little concerned now. If it's just him and it's on a record, it's an up tempo and he's, you know, in his melodic rap shit. Oh, we know that. That's his fade away. We know that. But is it that or is he like, trying to give us bars like Bryson? He ain't trying to metaphor you and bar you down. He got flows, he got melodies. But. But if he on there trying to stand toe to toe with Rick Ross, I'm gonna be a little disappointed. I mean, I.
Host 1
But what if he does a good job?
Host 3
I don't.
Host 1
I don't doubt that Bryson can do that.
Host 3
If it's the melodic Bryson, where it's like that, it's like, why do you.
Host 1
Think that he can't rap rap? That's what I'm asking you.
Host 3
Cause Rambo, he was rapping. I'm not saying I don't. I just don't want that from Bryson Tiller. Why? Give us what give us go. Don't go away from the mid range.
Host 1
He's gonna do a second diss though. But I mean.
Host 5
And also, wouldn't you say, like, even where gunna has even gone is like full melodic rapping? That's kind of everybody now. So for somebody as a pen like Bryson. Yeah. I wouldn't mind him leaning more into the rap.
Host 3
No melodic, just straight bar like Ross.
Host 5
Everything for the most part now is melodic outside of the legacy.
Host 3
That's what I'm saying. If he's doing that, great. I'm saying if he's on there rapping like how Ross rap. Ross don't rap with no melodies. He giving you straight bars. If Bryson is doing that, I'm just a. You know, it's just kind of like I'm going in with a little apprehensiveness, like, ah.
Host 5
Did you hear his feature on Keanu? The day's album Gone?
Host 3
How long ago was that? It sounds.
Host 5
That feels like it was two years ago. Two years ago, maybe three. One of the best verses of the year. He's rapping on that. But yes, it is very much melodic. I wanted to use that as an example. If it's. If he's saying there's going to be a rap album, I think it'll be even more rap than what that feature was. That was very melodic. But he still has bars, but.
Host 3
Scared?
Host 5
Nah, I'm not.
Host 1
I'm not scared, actually.
Host 3
If it's melodic, he in his bag. That's his. That's his bread and butter. But if it's just Bryson on there, he trying to bar you down like. Like Kiss. I'm gonna be like, I can't hear.
Host 1
Him be melodic with Boss man dlo.
Host 3
Why? Why not? Absolutely.
Host 1
I can't hear it.
Host 5
I mean, with Bun B, Pimp C to me was melodic. Bun B's melodic to me.
Host 3
No, but you know the melodic I'm talking about.
Host 5
I know, but Pimpsy was.
Host 3
Yeah, but I. I don't know. I. I'm a little. I thought this was Bryson Tiller going back to, you know, giving us that. That R B, that, that. That bag. But, I mean, listen, man, double this. This is just the first one thing I will say. Bryson has gained my trust as an artist. I trust him as an artist.
Host 5
Yeah. I actually think Bryson is very much underrated with his discography. He got a lot of slack for his follow up, I think after Trap Soul and mixed reviews on one after. I think everything he's put out is great.
Host 3
His last album was crazy.
Host 5
I really fucked with Bryson and I don't know where the disconnect has been. At least I only speak to the social media world, like, where people have started to doubt Bryson. Was it because Trap Soul was just like the biggest thing ever that year. And the only way you can go from there is down. Like, I'VE never understood why people keep overlooking the quality music that Bryson keeps putting up.
Host 1
Well, I think at this point now, maybe after his second album, but I'm talking about at this point now. I don't think it's that it was because of trap soul. I think that the people who are really pushing music or paying attention to music right now barely remember trap soul. Like, they were younger. Like, I don't think the young kids. He doesn't mean as much to them.
Host 5
As he does to us. But even, like, the buildup of him being the next guy going from trap soul to then the Khalid and Rihanna record, which I was a timeless record like that could play now. It'd be fine.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 5
But there was a gap. He was set. Well, he was setting up to be the guy. And then he took a break. I mean, didn't he get married or something? Something happened where he, like, took a break when. I think he did, when the marriage was going up. And then he put out an album that just didn't have a single that worked. But I thought it was a dope album. You gotta join on there with Drake. That's fire.
Host 3
That.
Host 5
I just. For some reason, I don't know if it was. If it was the label not working it, but I don't know. I'm excited for this. This Bryson, and I love that it's a double disc. Do you think he's mad that having plows t pain is he going the route, the nostalgia route that Metro just went with features like that. I hope not from the same era. Like, we're all the same age like that. That's when I see those two combined. To me, that feels like you're trying to do a 2000s thing. If you have plows and t pain together on yourself, flies.
Host 3
Why you keep saying plows?
Host 5
I don't know.
Host 3
Why don't do something.
Host 5
Yeah, maybe.
Host 3
Okay.
Host 1
Do you got. Speaking of Metro's album, did you guys like it?
Host 5
No.
Host 1
Huh?
Host 3
No.
Host 1
Is that out of loyalty or, like, actual adoles?
Host 3
Like, they played, like, four records in here, and Peach told me the whole album sounds like that. And I was like, I can't listen to that. I understand what he's doing, though. They say he wants music to go back regional and keep things. Like, if you're from Atlanta, your music should sound like. I respect that.
Host 5
But that sound wasn't. Well, yes, it was regional. Don't get me wrong. That's Atlanta all day. But it. It went everywhere.
Host 3
Yeah. No, and I get that, and that's cool. But I Just listen, man. I'm. I'm. Everything is just not for me. I can't hear that. I don't. I will. I don't even know where to play that. Definitely not playing that in the crib. Not playing that on the drive. Like, I'm not. Where am I playing that? At somebody that's for somebody. Somebody's gonna love that and play that somewhere at a day party, something like, you know, they gonna. They're gonna have fun with it. I'm just saying. Me personally, I think Metro was dope, but I'm just saying, that album, I can't. That music is not. It's not for me.
Host 5
I mean, it was. I haven't gotten through the entire thing. And without getting through the entire thing, my point is, did it need to be a double disc? Like, again, I get it. You're doing the nostalgia. This was what I was listening to in high school into freshman year college. Like, I love Roscoe Dash. I love Travis Porter here in Gucci. They want to have fun. Like, I like that record a lot. Do we need. What is this? 20? 25 records of this sound like, this could have been a really. Because, you know, Metro does really good eps, whether it be with Sean. Like, he just throws out a. He has a high volume. Like, he puts out a lot of. Do we need this much of this sound? Like, could it be anything?
Host 3
I don't. I don't.
Host 5
I would really appreciate an EP of this type of. Based off my age and the era that this music came out. I can really appreciate it. It's nostalgic to me. Love Waka. Like, all this shit is great, but why 25 fucking songs of this?
Host 3
Yes.
Host 5
Like, too much.
Host 3
It's too much. There's a such thing as too much for me again. Somebody's gonna love it. Somebody's gonna be excited to hear that sound again and go back to that time. You know, I'm more on the side of, you know, give me something more current. Give me something that we probably didn't get. You know what I mean? Change the sound a little bit. Like, I'm on that side of it. Like, I respect what he did, and I think it makes sense to try to get music back to a place where it's more regional. You represent where you from more. Instead of, you know, everybody being on social media and try to chase what the wave is. It's like, no, stay in your corner, Stay in your pocket. Do what you do. I respect that. I'm just saying not to this extent. 25 tracks of that sound from. Was that like 05? Yeah, 06. 04. Maybe around there.
Host 5
04 to 06.
Host 3
Yeah. Don't take me 20 years back. Don't do that. Like, give me something that we didn't get. Was like, yo, this is crazy. This is innovative. This is. You know what I'm saying? Give me that before you take me back. 25 tracks of a sound from 20 years ago.
Host 5
He put a spin on it a little bit. Like, I like that it was hosted by a dj, too, that went back to that. That era.
Host 3
Yeah, I get it. But I'm very nostalgic. I get it.
Host 5
This is my theory. I. I can't prove this. Why this is 25 records is because I think. And there's no disrespect to that era because I love that era. I got pussy for the first time in that era. Like, it holds a special place. Special place in my fucking heart. This was. Was. This sound was high school dances part. Like, that was our. I think Metro found out how easy it was to make those type of beats, and that's why we have 25 of them. I think he made every one of these beat. He said, oh, my God, with the stuff, the technology we have now, I could make this beat in five seconds. Yeah, that's what I think happened. Because Metro, if you go back to his last album and the one with Future as well, like, how intricate Metro's beats are. Are incredible. Metro can do this when he's taking a. On the toilet. Like, that's why I think there's so much here. Because he found out that sound is extremely easy to make in this era. Like, Able. They was doing that on Fruity Loops, everything like that. It took some time. Listen, you could do this in five minutes. I'm not saying it's bad.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
And quick doesn't mean bad. But that's why I think Metro had an idea and just kept pumping out like 10 beats a day with this sound. Cause it's so easy to fucking make.
Host 3
Yeah, I'm cool, though. But respect to him, you know what I'm saying? He's obviously one of the most talented producers we have and things like that, but this is. This project is just not for me, that's all.
Host 1
Okay, well, Ma, you said something about Bryson.
Host 3
Oh, shit. What did I say about Bryson?
Host 1
No, you said something where you said you now trust Bryson as an artist, so you're willing to listen to anything he does because you trust him as an artist. Outside of the greats, are there anybody that is There anybody that you can think of that you also trust as an artist? Outside of the obvious?
Host 3
Yeah, it's a few. Brent. I trust Brent as an artist, but Brent, like Bryson, to me, they're one in the same. They're very, like, in their own space, in their own world. You don't really hear much about them on social media. You don't really see them much until it's they ready to put something out. They're not in the headlines doing no crazy like that, but then they'll sell out a arena, you know what I'm saying? As soon as they decide to have a show, you know what I'm saying? They have that type of following because their catalog is. You know, everybody goes back to a Brent song or album or Bryson album. There's a few artists that I trust just to know that they know what their core is. They always try to create with their core in mind. Not saying that they only want to make music for their core. They step out and they get features from people we wouldn't expect. Like, oh, shit, he got a song with this person. They do that sometimes, but they always keep it. You know, kind of like the. The sound is the core. Like, never. Never abandoned the core, but also expand at the same time and try different shit. So outside of Bryson and Brent, shit, even the clips, I'm not surprised at the album they just put out. If you look at what Push has been doing, you know what I'm saying? Over the last couple years, he's been on par. He's been consistent. His sound, again, core, keeping that there, but, you know, playing with different things, different features and things like that. Like, you know. But don't abandon what we fell in love with. Don't abandon that, but still grow at the same time and. And try different shit. I just, you know, once artists do that, I don't think it's hard for them to put out a terrible project, in my opinion or in my, you know, following certain artists, it's like, you know, that sound is there, you know that they're gonna stay to their core, but they might give you something like, oh, okay. Like, I wasn't expecting him to give us that sound, but he tried something. I respect that. But don't go all the way laughing now. You lost us. It's like, all right, fam.
Host 5
Yeah, Brent did really good with that with his last project. Yeah, it was away from the Sondra sound, but it still was.
Host 3
That chord was still there, but it was still there. It was still.
Host 5
Brent definitely trying to do Some other shit.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
I would say Ross is probably the closest one to that for me.
Host 3
The greats, all the greats always stay.
Host 5
Close to their core, even if there's no rollout or any energy around it. I know for a fact Rick Ross is going to give me a good album. I just know he's gonna pick the beats I like, he's gonna rap the shit I like to hear.
Host 3
That's the other part. I just know that when the artists make good songs, when the artist is, you know, they're. They. They have producer qualities. They have great A and R qualities about themselves. They could hear music well. They can produce well. You know what I mean? Like, when you have artists like that, those are the ones that seem to always kind of land close to the mark, like, okay. Cause they, you know, they know what the fuck they doing. It's like, I know my sound. I know it's dope. I got, you know, my taste level is impeccable. Like, I know what people want from me. And, you know, that's what you expect from artists that you like. Like, just know what we want, give us what we want. Surprise us every now and then and give us a curve ball. See if we, you know, it connects with us. But don't go too far. You know what I'm saying? It's like. Cause now it's like, what you doing, man? This ain't you. They done got in your ear and told you, yo, this the new wave. It's the new sound. That don't mean it's your sound. That don't mean it's your wave.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 3
You know what I'm saying? That's my thing. Like, you. You get in the room with certain producers and stuff, they're like, yo, nah, everybody doing this. That don't mean you need to be doing that.
Host 5
Word.
Host 3
You know what I'm saying? Just because everybody's doing this, that's not what you do. You sold out arenas doing this.
Host 5
Yeah. A lot of y' all should leave Afrobeats alone.
Host 3
Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. I get it.
Host 5
You know, it's not Afrobeats, but it's like my Afrobeat inspired it. No, it's cool.
Host 3
It was close to that. Bp. BPM is the new favorite shit. Yeah. Stay in that BPM right there. Not you, though. We understand what everybody's moving to right now, but that don't mean you need to do that. Yeah, and it's tough. Cause artists, you know, you gotta work yourself into that place of being able to turn that down, though. You know what I'm saying? Like, you gotta, again, gain a trust from the label or just your team and things like that, where they know, like, okay, now that this artist knows what he or she is doing, leave them alone. Let them create what they doing. And then we have to adjust and kind of do all the, you know, the tricks around it to get it out to the people.
Host 5
I feel like JLO is gonna love this Bryson album because after four failed marriages, she's finally choosing herself.
Host 3
Good for JLo. Bronx legend. Another one. Yeah.
Host 5
Why is this a headline? Well, she's done with marriage. Just choosing herself from now on.
Host 1
JLo's relationships for as long as I remember, I remember, like, from being a kid, the fucking tabloids always report and the news always reporting on JLO getting engaged. Like, that's like a core part of pop culture news. So. Yeah.
Host 3
No, it's JLo. She's been the queen of pop culture. She had her time where she. She was the queen of pop culture. So.
Host 1
And even when she wasn't, we always just cared about her relationships. Like, that's like a running pop culture thing. Till the day she died, we didn't care. So I do care, and I'm happy for her.
Host 3
Did she actually say she's choosing herself or did they just put that in the headline? Like, do we have JLO being quoted saying that or a video of her saying that?
Host 5
Probably not.
Host 3
You know what I'm saying? Like, all right, JLO probably didn't even say that. Like, that. That'd be the other thing.
Host 5
Like, yeah. Or she posted a selfie and was like, I choose myself. Like, nothing to do with marriages. Oh, yeah. But I don't know. I just don't care.
Host 3
How old is JLo? 56. JLo looked great.
Host 1
She looks amazing.
Host 3
Jesus Christ.
Host 1
Body tea.
Host 5
She could choose herself and still be with you. I think. I think there's a world. I think that's what she needs.
Host 1
I don't want a Y in.
Host 3
I'm a wise.
Host 1
And compared to her.
Host 3
No, I'm not. I'm a Y n compared to JLo.
Host 1
Yeah. You're like, what, 12 years younger than her?
Host 3
That's not Hawaiian, though.
Host 1
Okay.
Host 5
Someone in their 50s dating someone in their 40s is not. That's not.
Host 3
That's not.
Host 5
That's not.
Host 3
That's. That's actually pretty cool.
Host 5
She dated me. I mean, not the Y n part, but the age part. I think someone has to be in their 20s.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
With Jlo for that to be the case.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 1
Okay.
Host 5
Because that I Mean, that would be sick. But I could see jlo choosing herself and just, you know, getting with, like, a Drill rapper.
Host 3
That would never happen.
Host 1
No.
Host 5
Why not?
Host 3
JLO ain't doing that. She's gonna. She's gonna find.
Host 5
Drill is. Is been on the rise.
Host 3
That's.
Host 5
I mean, leading the city. She's still from those. She's still Jenny from the block.
Host 3
Not. She's still from Castle Hill. That's a fact. But, yeah, not. JLo will be fine. I think she'll find somebody. You know, I just think that it's.
Host 5
Marriage isn't for everybody.
Host 1
She gotta stop spinning the block.
Host 5
She only did it with Ben.
Host 1
Right, but they did that, like, three times.
Host 5
That's her person.
Host 3
Clearly not. You got to know when to just go look for parking on another block. It ain't no parking spots.
Host 1
He's sick because he back with Jennifer Gardner.
Host 3
For real?
Host 1
Yes. He's sick, bro. That is. He's sick.
Host 5
Tremendous actor.
Host 3
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Host 1
Hold on. He's sick, bro.
Host 3
Ben Affleck is back with Jennifer Garner.
Host 5
I didn't know it was. I don't keep up with that.
Host 1
Went viral.
Host 3
Nah. But I don't trust that, because those old pictures, that. They just be circulating again. Like, I don't believe that. I don't believe Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are back there.
Host 5
But why not?
Host 3
I don't believe that.
Host 5
He clearly has a history of spinning the block.
Host 3
If Ben Affleck.
Host 5
Did you say the same thing when they got. When he got back with JLo the 17th time.
Host 3
If Ben Affleck is back with Jennifer Garner. We gotta get Ben Affleck some help.
Host 5
Why?
Host 3
He's. He. He has to get some.
Host 5
He loves. Love.
Host 3
No, I'm. And there's nothing wrong with that, but you. You can't keep just going back and forth between these two women.
Host 1
Why can't you? Nah, he do need to move on from better out there once you get out of that loop.
Host 3
Come on, man. Like, I know comfort zone is real, and, you know, being around somebody that you kind of feel like you can be yourself with. That's all. We get that. But you also got to be willing to, like, just meet new people and new experiences and new things, man. You, like, leave these women alone. Let them be happy.
Host 5
I mean, where's. Where is Ben gonna meet people?
Host 3
Yeah, he's not going. He's not spending enough time at Duncan's. That's the problem.
Host 5
You think he needs to, like, go in Duncan? Not to go and sit.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
Drive through.
Host 3
Yeah, he's in the drive through too much. He got to go in there, sit.
Host 1
Down like, y' all meeting people at Dunkin' Donuts was a joke.
Host 5
Well, he.
Host 3
He's one of the, like, ambassador. Yeah.
Host 5
Or maybe. I don't know. Does he have to go back to Boston and just find him, like, a nice, racist Irish girl? Like, maybe that's more his speed.
Host 3
I don't know, man.
Host 5
Someone from Roxbury.
Host 3
Yeah. He just better not be with Jen. Leave Jennifer. Leave both of the Jennifers alone.
Host 1
I think I just started a rumor. I don't think he's back.
Host 3
Hey, I don't think so. Oh, see, that's how I think.
Host 5
I just started a room.
Host 3
Yeah, that's how fast.
Host 5
Well, Ryan Seacrest listens to this podcast a lot, so I'm sure it'll be in the tabloids sometimes.
Host 1
Sometimes, you know, sometimes you gotta spend.
Host 5
A block down to.
Host 3
No.
Host 1
To burn it down.
Host 3
It's okay. But, you know, shout out to JLo. Hopefully she finds somebody. I think you find people when you're not looking for somebody. It's deep, right? Just don't look for nobody. Just live life. You jlo.
Host 5
I just feel like humans shouldn't be together at all.
Host 3
Nah, we gotta get you some help.
Host 5
I choose myself.
Host 3
SiriusXM cancels Howard Stern. This was big news. This is obviously one of the biggest personalities in radio history. SiriusXM has canceled Howard Stern. Wait, do they cancel Howard Stern or just his show? Because that's the difference is Coward. Stern canceled or no? No. Okay.
Host 5
They're not yet.
Host 3
Okay. They're not renewing his contract, which is.
Host 5
Crazy because, I mean, I feel like.
Host 3
That'S the house that he built.
Host 5
Yeah, Howard definitely changed media drastically by taking that serious deal where it was subscription based. And, you know, now it's. You can only find it in your rental car. But this is kind of nuts, and I think it's Howard's fault.
Host 3
Howard Stern made his debut on Sirius Satellite Radio, now known as Sirius XM, in 2006. On August 5, rumors began swirling at the Howard Stern show was getting canceled. Stern's most recent five year contract is expected to expire at the end of 2025. So, okay, his contract ended.
Host 5
It's kind of interesting how the theme of the show of time looping and everything coming back to what it was. I mean, I don't think we need to explain to everyone who Howard Stern is or how insane the Howard Stern show used to be and how it did change media from a content standpoint as well. Dealing With FCC having porn stars on his show, wild shit happening, cursing. And when he got to serious, it got even crazier because you didn't, you know, have to worry about fines. Then he took a hard left. And I'm not saying he did it because the, the atmosphere was changing amongst people being canceled or crude content being frowned upon. He could have just became an adult and wanted to stop doing that shit. Even though he was like 45 when he was with lesbians on a show, he became pretty much the person he hated as far as his very PC one on one uninteresting interviews. And he was at one point one of the greatest interviewers of all time. He definitely leaned into what I think Colbert did as well, of accepting that we now need to be the very PC people, straight edge, go to whatever the beat of this party is telling us to do. And I think it, it suffered. And now media has came right back to what Howard Stern started. It's a shit show of a bunch of nonsense where Howard could thrive because he invented this right? And he didn't stick to who he was and became a different human being. And now media is back to what he was like. He, Howard could kill as an old right now in the stuff that he invented because that's what everyone is now doing on Rumble. Like this is his fault for he should have never listened to the higher ups of what he needed to do.
Host 3
That's fault to see. That's why it's always, it's always just best to just be who you are no matter what, because then you end up in a situation like this where you try to change and changing who you are and things about you is always positive. I don't want to make it seem like change is not good, but when you go away from your formula and you know, your, your, your recipe of what you've built and then it doesn't work out and then now, you know, they don't renew your contract. Not saying, you know, Howard Stern is, he's, he's, he's well off. He's fine. He's not hurting for no money.
Host 5
He doesn't, I think in 06 he got 500 million.
Host 3
Yeah. That doesn't, that doesn't mean, you know, he doesn't, it's not a money thing with him, but it has to be something in him where he's, you know, in his home. Like I should have just went with my who I am and just stayed.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
With that content. Not give in to the pressures of, you know, being PC and Doing this, and we can't say this and can't say that. I say it to y' all all the time. Nobody really gives a fuck.
Host 5
And again, we don't know him. He really could have just grown up and been like, I'm tired of doing that loose stuff. But you left your whole audience, and I was not one of his audience, but I.
Host 3
But you recognize.
Host 5
Of course, it's like, no, it was legendary Howard Stern show. The people, especially. Even when he went to Sirius, people were purchasing that package because they were truck drivers. They were plumbers, like, his core base that love that. And I'm not even saying, like, anything racist or anything like just. Just lewd content that you talk about with your friends in. Now, the group chat was originally the group chat.
Host 3
The that we felt like he was.
Host 5
Talking to a guy you knew.
Host 3
He did that.
Host 5
So when you now completely go to, like, just giving very weird, straight interviews to Hillary Clinton, that you clearly have a sheet of what you're supposed to ask. You've lost your base. And then you just leaned into that, thinking that would be the way the world is going now. And no. Oh, your fan base in Long island left you. And listen, Howard maybe probably just wanted to retire, too. That could be it.
Host 3
It. Yeah.
Host 5
This could be a. A serious press release of, like, oh, we didn't renew. Howard could have been like, I wasn't renewing. Yeah, he could have just wanted to finally retire. I'm honestly speculating. I don't want to put anything on anyone. Just my point of view of someone that's watched Howard Stern since I was a child. Like, I can't remember a time where Howard Stern was not around.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
So I don't know. I mean, it's. It's the end of an era. He's definitely said some insane. Done some.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
I'm not here to co sign anything Howard Stern said, but I see why serious Sirius went from being the innovators in that world by getting Howard to now seeing that the world is not as PC as they once thought it was.
Host 3
I keep trying to tell y', all, nobody cares. Everybody's like, no, we can't say that. Yes, the you can, because somebody's saying it somewhere. Be yourself, but shout out to the legend, how was Stern, though? That's the before y' all era. Y' all don't really know about. Yeah, Early. How was Stern? Y' all wasn't the wildest. Yeah, y' all wasn't there when Beetlejuice first stepped in the studio. Y' all wasn't there when Beetlejuice first. I'm talking about the first, y' all wasn't there.
Host 5
Beetlejuice on Howard Stern, y' all were.
Host 3
Not there at that time.
Host 5
That was yo, like, like, dude, like, I'm telling you, yo be just being on there was one of the craziest things also, like, just because my, you know, my pops. I remember my pops even getting the serious, like, that they. It came in a box and, like, you had to connect it to your car because, like, my dad was such an Artie Lang fan, like, Jersey guy, like, so much of the. The comedian. And even when it went to Opie and Anthony on Sirius, which I think, you know, is why we have Rogan now and most of the stand up comedy world. That all derived from Howard. Like, all the comedy I loved growing up derived from Howard's done. Because my dad would have that. But yo, he would bring. Yo. Do you remember the days when he would bring drunk ass Henry Hill on his show?
Host 3
Absolutely. Yeah.
Host 5
No, we were like, count down to wait for that.
Host 3
I used to watch that. Like, I would watch that on tv. Like, the Howard Stern show. Like, I would watch that.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Absolute legend, though.
Host 5
And shout out to Robin for probably having the most patience of any human being.
Host 3
Absolutely.
Host 5
In the history of the United States.
Host 3
A major, major part of Howard Stern.
Host 5
Hell yeah. No, Robin was the only one to, like, reel in everything and meet, like, make sure the show continued to go.
Host 3
Yes. The greatest. The greatest HR PR in history of radio. Shout out to Robin.
Host 5
She was like a mom. The way she would even, like, say Howard's name to stop him from doing Howard. Yeah, like, he would know the way.
Host 3
Your mom says your name that you're.
Host 5
Like, oh, I should.
Host 3
I'm wild. I'm wild right now. Yeah.
Host 5
But yeah, I mean, that. That was the time.
Host 3
No worry.
Host 5
Live golf this weekend will be in Chicago. Telling you deep dishes and five irons. I cannot wait. With two events left, Joaquin Neiman sits atop of the leaderboard.
Host 3
Told you.
Host 5
You did. You did actually say I actually have to give you your flowers. You did say that. He said five wins in 2025, which is crazy, but John Ram has the opportunity to secure. Secure the live golf individual title for the second straight year. He's right behind Joaquim. I mean, I don't know. You called it more. So I think I'm kind of gonna go with what you say on this one.
Host 3
I think Joaquin is going. I think he finishes.
Host 5
That's your guy.
Host 3
I think. I think so. I mean, I picked him early if.
Host 5
The deep dish doesn't take them down.
Host 3
I picked, I picked them early. So we're gonna see what happens.
Host 5
They're still several players at the bottom of the standings and they can fight their way back in into regulation, but I mean if they don't, it's, it's over. But I don't we could have a Cinderella story, but I like that.
Host 3
Get to get play for your spot back in the league. Yeah, I like that.
Host 5
Yeah. Who has next on the court? Yeah, you gotta fight.

American history is full of wise people. Walt Whitman said something like, you know, 99.99 of war is diarrhea and 1% is glory.

Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

All right. Do we have voicemails?
Host 3
We do.
Host 5
Okay. These are sponsored by Boost.
Host 3
You've got mail.
Host 5
All right. What's good, y'?
Host 3
All?
Host 5
I didn't necessarily need advice. I just wanted to get you guys thoughts about something. So my question is, what do you guys consider a real red flag about the family dynamic of somebody that you're dating that would make you reconsider being with them? So I don't mean like obvious, like violence in a house or like extremely dysfunctional type. Not just me. Like, for example, let's say you're dating a girl. You know what I'm saying? She brings you home and you see that her mom is like, like low key, disrespectful to her, her dad in front of company. You know what I mean? Or Baby D, let's say you're dating a guy. You see that him and his mom are like, toxically close to the point that she treats him like her husband. Like. Like that. Like, what do you guys consider, like, a red flag about somebody's family that would make you, like, think twice about seriously dating them?
Host 3
A red flag about somebody's family that would make you think twice about dating them.
Host 1
My number one is if the mother walk around the house like she a guest. Like, if she timid to be in her own house, she don't speak up. Mother real quiet. She don't speak up. She don't laugh. She don't get. I don't fuck with that.
Host 3
That means you can't date her son because she's. Because she's a timid lady in her house. What's the. But why, though? Like, that's.
Host 1
I don't. I don't like dating men who don't have strong mothers. I just never. It's not. Nothing wrong with it. If your mother is, you know, weaker or meeker, then that's you.
Host 3
But mild mannered and. And more, you know, laid back doesn't mean weak, though.
Host 1
I didn't say mild mannered. And laid back. I said meek.
Host 5
But. But something.
Host 1
Her husband say something to her and she shrivel.
Host 5
Okay, all right, I see that. But some things are cultural, especially if you have someone in a guest in your house that you don't like, know, like, that there's cultural things where she'd be a little bit more quiet.
Host 1
That's fine.
Host 5
It's not like I've been in that situation when I've met a girl's mom and she's like first generation and it's some foreign. But, you know, once you get to know, they start cutting loose. But that's also how they present themselves in a very polite way when you have a guest in the house.
Host 1
Yeah, I never said anything about being polite. I never said anything about being polite. I'm talking about people that when their husband speaks up, they shrivel. They're quiet, they're timid, they're meek. Those were the words that I used.
Host 3
But speak up. Speak up in. In regards to what, though? Like, what is the. What's the.
Host 1
If the lady look like when guest ain't there, she getting slapped around the house. I don't date men. Like, that's what I'm talking about. I thought I was clear on that.
Host 3
Okay.
Host 1
Yeah. I don't. I don't. I'm cool. I also just tend to not date men who have very quiet mothers anyway. Even if that is just her personality and there's no, like, fear behind it.
Host 3
Is it because you're not quiet?
Host 1
Yeah, men tend to think that, like, men tend to seek out their mothers when dating. Not always, but it happens. And that ain't me. So I like men who are used to strong women, like women with strong personalities. I don't want to have to be the first strong personality you encounter.
Host 5
I feel like that's one of those therapy psychological ones that you can't prove that you seek out somebody like your mother. I don't. I. I don't think that's true.
Host 1
When they like their mothers, Rory. When people like their mothers.
Host 5
I like my mom.
Host 1
Oh, I didn't say.
Host 5
You didn't listen, man. Maybe you shouldn't date the guy that has. That doesn't have the timid mother. The mother that should stop overstepping and being so goddamn loud. No, it doesn't result great either.
Host 1
Nah.
Host 3
I don't know.
Host 1
But that's just. That's just me. That's a red flag of something I pay attention to. But, yeah, if you're over.
Host 5
But how long into that and outside of, like. Like, obviously, if you feel like there's abuse in the house. But, like, even watching my mom around Peach, which I'm not trying to date Peach, I mean, I think you're a great guy, but we work together. We work together. Yeah. I just don't think.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
Like, the representative my mom puts up in front of people she meets, like, is comical to me sometimes. Like, you are nothing like. Like, you are nothing like this. Why? I think people also culturally put up a front in front of other people when they first meet them or even start to spend time around them because they think that's what you're supposed to do.
Host 3
But you also get different. Yeah. Like, your mom. Your mom is going to be different with your friends than she is with you. That's just a. A regular thing. Yeah, she's going to be. That's just a, you know, a parent thing. Like, they're gonna talk to your friends and be more welcoming and things like that. And you, like, you don't let people eat in the living room. Like, if I was trying to eat in this living room, nobody was here. I'd get cursed the fuck out. Like.
Host 1
Yeah, but. And I agree, but he's talking about a relationship dynamic. If you're in a relationship with somebody long enough, there's only so much pretending a person can do. Unless they're a psychopath. Like, eventually, you're gonna get to know the real parents for family. You'll see the family dynamic.
Host 5
Oh. I mean, even, like, with Kia when she first met my mom. And I. I don't. I'm not on my mom. My mom is a good person.
Host 3
Sweet lady. I'm not sweet lady.
Host 5
But this. You know, some of the stuff I talked to Key about Prior. She, you know, after the few times hanging my mom, she's like, I. I don't get it. And then it was like a month in. I didn't even know what the situation was. Key was just like, I get it. I get it now.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
So, yeah, Damaris is right. Time will definitely start to reveal everything when it comes to family.
Host 3
Yeah. But I've definitely. I've definitely noticed in dating women, like, if they're the only child, it could be a little tricky.
Host 5
So we're just gonna. On me throughout the entire time.
Host 3
Yeah. It's a On you day. You didn't know that? You know what? Today was?
Host 5
Dre Day. Everybody's celebrating.
Host 3
Yeah. Everybody having fun. But I have noticed that, like, if. If a woman is the only child, it's a little. Or if she doesn't have, like, if she has a terrible relationship with her dad, that. Okay, you definitely gonna experience some. Some turbulence.
Host 1
Only children. Weird as bro.
Host 5
That's a fact. And I do agree. It takes a. Takes a village, a type of person to date takes a really child because every girl that's dated me has dated an only child. That's just how math works. But. And I've seen throughout, like, how it was weird, the more relationships I had, I was like, oh, yeah, I need to be by myself. And I. People think I don't like them and neither here nor there. But.
Host 3
But you're a different only child, though. Like, you.
Host 5
You.
Host 3
You're not.
Host 5
As I was. I was in a community. Like, I was always around people constantly. Like, everyone was. There was so many people in my house. Like, it was never really. Like, I never felt that much like an only child as a kid because there was just so many people around.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
But I still have those same tendencies, though, of leave me the alone. And I need to be by myself. And it's not a you thing. I just need my time, which can be very weird to somebody that doesn't understand that.
Host 3
I had to cheat. I had to cheat code, though, growing up with a twin, like a girl. Because now I know, like, I can. I can comfortably live with a woman. Because it's easy living with women when you grow up with a woman. You just gotta just know how to be invisible. Yeah, whatever you use. Clean up by yourself. Da, da, da. Keep the space clean. Know when you know, you sense, like, attitude swings. Just leave the house. Don't even say nothing. Just walk. Just. Just go. Just. Just play your mouth just to yourself. Like, I know. I know what this is. Space your phone ring. Where you at? No. No way. I'm at me now. You were just sitting there ready to curse me out hour and a half ago for the. The TV was too loud. Like, all right, the tv. The game is on. You want me to listen to what dog is.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Yeah. All right. I'll be outside. Yeah. All right.
Host 5
Well, you guys are saying that. That now, I think in your 30s or 40s, like, if you worked on yourself, red flags of your family maybe don't matter. Like, this is the multiple. This is.
Host 1
You've said that before. Yes, they do.
Host 5
Like, like. But if, like, I think you can.
Host 3
Look at my family and you have all the red flags pop up in your head. But if, obviously I know my family and I've done work on myself to where I'm like, I'm nothing like my family.
Host 5
Yeah. I think That's a. A thing that you should give people grace if they've done that. Not. Not, of course, no matter who your family is. It's trickled down and made you who you are, no matter what. But you can still work on yourself and not be the red flags of your family.
Host 1
It's not even about you being the red flags of your family that I don't even think that's what he's in reference to. Like, oh, this was happening in the. In the. In his household. So this is how he is. I don't even think it has anything to do with that. When you're marrying someone, and God forbid you have a kid with someone, y' all are family. That is now your family. You now have to deal with that family dynamic. You could be perfect. It doesn't matter. I still have to deal with your mama, your father, your brothers, your sisters.
Host 3
Not if you don't. Yeah, I know plenty of people that don't deal with their spouse's family at all.
Host 1
Even that's a red flag. I couldn't be with somebody who does not have. Where I can't have a relationship and they can't have a relationship with their family. I don't want that type of marriage.
Host 3
But if they tried and it's just like, yo, you just still.
Host 1
I don't want that.
Host 3
No, no, I know what you're saying. You don't want that. You want your family and your spouse to kind of intertwine and be one. I get that. Everybody wants that. But some people have families that's just like, yo, like, your family be tripping.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 3
And they know it. They're like, oh, I know. They're like, okay, cool. So, yeah, no, I'm not going to the cookout. I'm not going to the Terrence Crawford fight at your dad's house. I'm not going. I'm not going to watch Game seven. Like, no, I'm just not. I'll stay home.
Host 1
Yeah, but see, yeah, me personally, that's a red flag to me, because I want someone who's close with their family for my children. I want my children to have that.
Host 3
You want big family. Well, you come from a big family.
Host 1
Yeah. And I want my kids to have that on their father's side, too. So more important, most importantly, on their father's side, because my. My parents don't babysit. Somebody, mama. Somebody mama gotta watch.
Host 3
That's a red flag when she say her parents don't babysit. And it should be red flag.
Host 1
It should be.
Host 3
Why why you. Why your parents don't want to watch their grand. Because they.
Host 1
Oh, they're older. I have really old parents. By the time I have a kid, my mother would be well into her 70s. She don't need to be watching no newborn.
Host 3
Yeah, that's grand. That's. That's what grandma's there for. She great. She gang. Gang. Yeah. 70s. Stay home, just watch, feed, eat, change the diaper.
Host 1
70. A 70 year old. A 72 year old can't watch no toddler. Toddlers. These toddlers climbing off. She can't catch you. She can't. No.
Host 3
Nah. Y' all guys, Grandma could watch a toddler.
Host 5
I. I hear that, but that. I just don't think. I totally understand what you're saying. And I think anyone's allowed to want what type of lifestyle they have with their kids. They want a big family. I just don't think that should be a defining factor. If you have somebody that you want to be with and have children with, like, just because that part isn't there, they can still be a good person with no red flags.
Host 3
It's just.
Host 5
Well, we have to stay away from that. That part of the family.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
They're just not invited to Christmas. That's all. And you'll also notice with. When you have kids, you want to start your own traditions and your own shit, because like you said, that's your family now.
Host 3
Now.
Host 5
And that's not going to work with a lot of your family because they have their own families. So you'll start to realize that does separate as you age and have kids.
Host 3
You sat tomorrow down and told her the real story of Thanksgiving.
Host 5
Yeah, we. We saved the Indians. That's what they were.
Host 1
They were the Indians.
Host 5
They were called Indians. A man named John Smith showed up on a boat. There was a beautiful woman. Pocahontas.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
And the Indians were being very irrational about the entire thing. Like this super over it.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
And then we did something really kind. We gave them all blankets.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
Because it's cold.
Host 3
Absolutely.
Host 5
And something happened with the manufacturing of those blankets. And there was like a disease on them.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
Which wasn't.
Host 3
It's crazy how that happened. Right.
Host 5
And then, you know, there was a. A war. And we get. We brought the French in. And then they became our friends after we. We murdered everybody.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
And, you know, now they have casinos.
Host 3
There you go. Beautiful story. Such an American tale.
Host 5
That's not the story of Thanksgiving.
Host 3
No, that is. If it wasn't. It is now. And my table will be very accurate at my table. That's the story.
Host 5
That's such a sick holiday.
Host 3
Insane.
Host 5
Anyways, we have another voicemail.
Host 3
Hey, guys, this is Chris from la, and this question is for everybody. I was thinking if you guys had any future political aspirations. Not necessarily president, but maybe a congressman or something.
Host 5
The funniest part about one. Do you have political aspirations? Was a hilarious question to start. Start with, but then to double down. Like, I'm not, like, thinking President.
Host 3
Yeah, yeah. Like, don't shoot for the star.
Host 5
I wasn't thinking that either, sir.
Host 3
Yeah. Never thought about it.
Host 5
When you said that, I didn't go, nah, president. Yeah, go ahead.
Host 3
Because I've been thinking, if Big Donnie.
Host 5
Could get into office, at least become.
Host 3
Like, a local city councilman or something. And I thought I proposed the question to you guys as well. Thanks, guys. I mean.
Host 5
I mean, if Donald Trump can do it with the empire that his family was in the real estate business before he was even born and inherited his riches and owned the entire borough of Manhattan at one point. Yeah. No, it's the same as me and Mo. This story's the same.
Host 3
Yeah. Same beginnings.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Same origin.
Host 5
Donald can do it. We can do it.
Host 3
Well, if Eric Adams could become mayor, now we're talking of New York City.
Host 5
I'm not saying we couldn't become mayor. In New York City, literally anybody can.
Host 3
I think, yeah, I think that I could definitely be mayor of New York City.
Host 5
The candidates that we have had. Yes, I fully believe that.
Host 3
100. I've rode the D train, the A train, the 4 train, the C trains. Enough. I know the city.
Host 5
That's all it takes.
Host 3
Right? So you just got to know the cities. You got to know every pothole in the streets. You know what I'm saying?
Host 5
There's a lot.
Host 3
Yeah, but. But you know them, you know, certain blocks you draw. You know that pothole that will. This.
Host 5
It's been there for 30 years.
Host 3
Exactly. Yeah. You gotta know the potholes. Gotta know the potholes. Gotta know you know how to get around that toll. You don't take that. You know how to take that bridge. You can just go this way.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
That's all it takes to become F.
Host 5
Is on the A. On weekends.
Host 3
Yeah. You gotta know the hottest clubs in the city.
Host 5
You have to know French Montana.
Host 3
Gotta. Gotta know French.
Host 5
That's.
Host 3
That's gotta know French. I'm from the Bronx, no French. So I'm. I checked that box. Yeah, man. I think I could be mayor of New York one day, like, if I really, like, just dedicated time to it. Like, yo, you know I'm gonna be mayor.
Host 5
What would be like, your first step?
Host 3
My first step? Eliminate all double rims from the basketball courts. I think double rims. Double rims kill dreams way too early. It's not that you can't shoot. It's not that you can't shoot.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
That's two rims that you're shooting.
Host 5
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No.
Host 3
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Host 1
It's a double rim.
Host 3
Oh. It shattered many dreams during more dreams than crack cocaine ever has. Yeah.
Host 5
And the bounce, like, the amount of shots you would make at the gym.
Host 3
Yeah.
Host 5
Off the bounce, you'd be fine. That double ring, like, double rim is terrible.
Host 3
It's the worst thing to happen to a child switcher. Yeah. It's the worst thing to happen to a child.
Host 5
Double ring with no net.
Host 3
Oh, now you're just.
Host 5
This is why. That's how Skits My Lou made it to the league.
Host 3
Yeah. Double rims. I would eliminate all double rims at the basket at the parks.
Host 5
Here's my thing. Not even the double rim. That was orange. Where was the one that was like. Well, I don't think it started out black, but ended up being black. That gray double rim, that was the worst. Yeah, that was like, this big.
Host 3
That's what we would do first. Attack the Parks and Recreation Department. Get rid of double rims. Yeah. I think we start there, and then we work our way into the community. You know what I mean?
Host 5
I mean, I. I haven't this. I guess how much. I don't hang out in the hood anymore. I have not seen a double room in a long time. Are they still around?
Host 3
Oh, they're still out there. They're still destroying dreams in every ghetto in America.
Host 5
Are they still in Marcy Peach? I feel they have an update. Yo. HOV has not bought Marcy a new playground, but that's what the. Is up with. Oh, and you know, hov, that's.
Host 3
Oh, see, come on now.
Host 5
Everybody in Marcy is. Is getting a.
Host 3
Come on now.
Host 5
A new park.
Host 3
I'm trying to tell you, I could be me. Me. And you should. You should be my vice mayor.
Host 1
Oh, okay. That's a thing.
Host 3
Yeah. My first vice.
Host 5
All right. Can I. Well, can I wear a beret?
Host 3
Yeah, you have to. You have to be the guardian angel. Are you kidding me? You're my guardian angel. You have. Yeah. I think we could take over the city of New York for sure.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 1
What do you think it would be that your opponent will bring up against you?
Host 3
Me?
Host 1
Yeah. Like, what do you. What would your opposition have on you.
Host 5
His Drake takes.
Host 3
Nah, that might get it done. See them subpoenas going out? It might get a dude. I'm just saying we ain't gotta. We gonna have that.
Host 5
The universal building is in New York City and in Texas.
Host 3
Listen, we gonna have that talk when it's time. We ain't gonna do it right now, but trust and believe. When it's time to have that conversation, we will have it. I don't know. Something I said. On this show, they'll try to, you know, they play the commercial. Is this who you want as mayor? And then you'll see me saying some crazy shit.
Host 1
You with mad f words bleeped.
Host 3
Yeah, but see, that's how you. I think that's New York.
Host 5
I mean, but to me, that's gonna get the Middle Village vote. Like, that's true and true.
Host 3
The strap hangers, they're gonna love me.
Host 5
Staten Island. They're going to name the ferry after Mole. Yeah, if that's. That's the smear campaign.
Host 3
Come on. I could definitely take over the city. I could clean up the city of New York. Listen, if Eric Adams could become. I could become mayor. If he's the mayor. I don't give a. What none of y' all talking about. I got, like, my chances.
Host 1
I'd be like city comptroller or something.
Host 3
Nah, that's.
Host 1
That's ass.
Host 3
Yeah. I'm straight to the mayor's office.
Host 5
Just wear a suit. Suit and a Yankee hat and sit behind home plate.
Host 3
That's it.
Host 5
That's all. That's the. The best leader on Earth every time.
Host 3
Once they see Rory's birthday at Yankee Stadium, he's my guardian angel. They're gonna be like, no, those are real New York. They know this city. Like, come on. We in there. Yeah.
Host 5
Where he spent his 13th birthday.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 3
Are you kidding me? It doesn't get more New York than that.
Host 1
Can you hire me as the lady that's in charge of getting rid of all the rats in New York City.
Host 3
Like snitches or the rats in, like, the parks? I'm about to say. I don't know if we should campaign on that, but, like, the rats. We need the rat folks.
Host 5
We're gonna make snitching illegal. You get another charge if you try to talk.
Host 3
Okay. Maybe we'll bring the death penalty back to New York.
Host 5
When was it here?
Host 3
It should have been here. It is back. No, it's not.
Host 1
New York locks up way too many of the wrong people for us to have the death penalty. We known for Locking the wrong niggas up.
Host 3
Up. Yeah, but I mean, like, the. In the. The. The. The evidence that we know. Oh, no, this did that. I know. The mid-90s. Yeah. That brings crime down. I keep telling y'. All. One way to drop all crime. Just show them killing one.
Host 5
They exit out in 2004.
Host 3
Oh, 24. They got rid of it. I didn't know that. Yeah.
Host 5
I mean, whatever happened to. They were going to get rid of Rikers for, like, the last 10 years and it's thriving.
Host 3
Thriving businesses. Bl.
Host 5
Wasn't that, like, a. They were going to shut down Rikers and then every borough is gonna have their own.
Host 3
I think they're still in the process of closing it down. It can't just be, like, one day. Boom, the whole Rikers Islands. I think they're closing it down bit by bit. I think they are phasing out because you have to move the prisoner somewhere.
Host 5
So, you know, put them back on the boat.
Host 3
Yeah, that could be one of our.
Host 5
Bring back Sparfa.
Host 3
Bring back the boat.
Host 5
You know how crazy, like, I really do feel. Feel for the. The kids that. To get arrested and then they were taken onto a boat in the Bronx.
Host 3
Insane. That could be our campaign, though.
Host 5
Like, all right, Sparford. Yeah. We're just. It's a tanker.
Host 3
Yeah, that could be our campaign.
Host 5
You're in the Navy now.
Host 3
You give us your vote, we bring back the boat.
Host 1
No, no.
Host 3
Yo, we in there. I'm telling you, we winning. Mayor Eric Adams, what he's done to the city. Me and Rory will leave the city in better hands than that.
Host 5
Yeah.
Host 3
Like, we will definitely do a better job than. Than Eric Adams. I. I believe that 100%. 100. I believe that.
Host 5
I was on the train yesterday, coming here and waiting on the platform, watching three. I don't even know if they're for the army. The guys that have the vest and, like, the. It's the three of them and then two cops, and they're literally in, like, a circle. Like, they was at the. Let out of a.
Host 3
On their phone.
Host 5
On their phone talk. Showing each other, like, in a circle. Everyone's facing everywhere but. But the subway. Like, they're only facing each other right here. Everyone has their back to the crime.
Host 3
Yeah. Sharing memes.
Host 5
Like, I could literally just. Just push a child onto the platform right now and nothing would happen.
Host 3
Yeah. Clean it up.
Host 5
I think we should put those cops.
Host 3
On air conditioner in the subways. Nah, we need that platforms in the. In the summer. Terrible.
Host 5
Yeah, they're awful.
Host 3
But it's too hot in the subways. Too, way too hot. We make too much money on our MTA system with to not have AC on a platform. What are we doing?
Host 5
Congestion did not work. And I want to know what you guys do with that money. Traffic might be worse than it was before.
Host 3
It is worse than it was before.
Host 5
So I. Why do I keep hitting every dollars?
Host 3
If y' all thought $9 was gonna stop from driving into Manhattan, the $20.
Host 5
That y' all kept raising in top.
Host 3
Of there, like that's not gonna stop people from driving into Manhattan. I can promise you this, that the up part is the city knows. The city could charge you a hundred dollars to get into Manhattan and it wouldn't stop traffic. And they know that. And that's the up part about this city is that they squeeze you until you know you don't have. You can't even put groceries on your table. But it ain't stopping. You think if the toll was $50 tomorrow, you think traffic is going to be over with? No. Just gonna be mad about that extra 50 coming out of their paycheck every, every time they come to the city. That's all. But they gonna pay it. It's all. But we'll clean the city up though. Vote for Rory and more.
Host 5
