Key Discussion Points & Insights

Opening Vibe – Holiday Hangover & Clubbing Tales (02:31–11:30)

• The crew – all sporting sunglasses in solidarity with Damaris’s hangover – details her wild, unsolicited drinking adventure involving Pergola, clubs, and an overwhelmed table of Ace of Spades and Don Julio.
• Damaris’s Lament (04:39): “I’ve decided that I need someone to… I need somebody to answer to. I'm gonna go … have a kid and get married … because I can’t keep [partying like this].”
• Laughter over personal limits, recovery, and the allure of “shaking ass” resurfaces – all wrapped in a group-roast tone.
• Shoutouts to inside jokes ("Cinepoppies" podcast confusion, John Leguizamo’s ethnicity), sticky notes, and producing their friend’s podcast round out the segment.

Holiday Plans & Family Talk (11:47–15:58)

• The crew shares low-key holiday plans: Rory is hosting family (and dreads back-to-back cleanups); Damaris is headed upstate; Mal toys with resetting solo on a beach at midnight.
• Banter about Italian-American “seven fishes” Christmas traditions; Damaris only cooks “shrimp, crab legs, and lobster”—immediately roasted for those not being “fish.”
• Mal (14:03): “The kids get stuff, but I may just take a vacation. Reset for 2026.”

Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua – Netflix Fight Recap (26:45–36:39)

• Mal and Rory analyze the Netflix-exclusive fight: Jake Paul’s jaw broken, the spectacle of celebrity boxing, and whether Anthony Joshua pulled punches for a longer pay-per-view.
• Respect is given to Jake Paul’s willingness to get in the ring with “real” fighters:
  • Mal (28:47): “Salute to Jake Paul … he’s proven one of the greatest marketers, promoters … not many would get in the ring with Anthony Joshua if they weren’t 'real' boxers.”
  • Rory (32:02): "I give him credit for taking the knockout … he could have stayed down."
• Debate on whether the fight was extended for entertainment, and the changing allure of Jake Paul fights.

Dave Chappelle’s Surprise Netflix Special “Unforgiven” Review (42:45–53:52)

• Both Rory & Mal heap praise on Chappelle's special—especially Act 2’s masterful closer:
• Rory (43:11): “That was some of the best standup I’ve ever seen … Chappelle is the GOAT.”
• Mal stresses Chappelle’s responsibility as a major voice and his evolving style:
  • Mal (44:36): “His comedy style has to change ... When your voice becomes that powerful…”
• Discussion of the “two things can be true” lesson, using Puff/Cassie and hip hop “conspiracies” as examples.
• The difference between standup and regular funny, and why Chappelle (like Nas) remains legendary by never disappearing, but putting out high-level work even into later career.
• The crew contrasts Chappelle’s sustained greatness with the tendency for other comedy legends to drift to film and away from standup.

The Challenge of Stand-Up Comedy: T.I. Edition (53:53–66:17)

• The crew talks about "Don’t Call Me White Girl" Mona’s interest in a comedy special and T.I.’s Foray into standup:
  • Stand-up as the hardest performing art ("It’s funny, but it ain’t funny if you ain’t funny").
  • On T.I. trying standup:
    • Mal (61:00): “With standup, you don't have that music, that energy ... If your punchline don’t hit, bro, you got a long night.”
  • The debate over whether comedians should use writers, paralleling the authenticity arguments in rap.
  • The importance of doing years in the standup trenches, learning venues, and bombing.

Debating “Fuck the Streets” – 21 Savage, Rap, and Social Codes (72:37–99:45)

• Rory brings up 21 Savage’s tweets calling for reconciliation and “fuck the streets,” sparking a passionate debate on codes, the role of “the streets” in hip hop, and what it means for rappers to move beyond those roots.
• Mal’s nuanced view:
  • Mal (74:23): “The streets gave you and awarded you everything you have… You can't say fuck the streets. Because the streets are what gave you and awarded you everything you have right now.”
  • On public figures moving goalposts when convenient—often only after becoming successful or facing legal trouble.
• Damaris argues for breaking free:
  • Damaris (88:23): “It's nice for these people ... to look and see their favorite rappers who have been upholding this street shit for so long to say, yo, this actually did nothing but us. If I could have did it differently, I'll fucking…” [her point: breaking cycles matters]
• Mal ties it back to glorification in hip hop and the difference between drawing from, and living in, street environments versus perpetuating destructive cycles.
• The difference between saying “fuck the mentality” vs. “fuck the streets” is parsed, as well as the responsibility owed to uplift the community without hypocrisy.

Relationship & Culture: Tom Brady’s "Forever Young" (100:12–108:14)

• The crew riffs on Tom Brady’s cryptic “Forever Young” IG post on the day his ex Gisele remarries, soundtracked to Logic’s “1-800” suicide helpline.
  • Mixed interpretations: Is Tom trolling? Is he really hurt?
  • Classic “could Giselle find another Tom, or vice versa?” debate, with tongue-in-cheek musings on dating, fame, and relationship value.
• Mal (107:02): “Is it easier to find another supermodel wife or another… greatest quarterback of all time?”

Holiday Anticipation & Wrapping Up (110:03–111:15)

• Mal teases a possible surprise album from a “major artist” for Christmas (no names).
• Jokes about TI’s comedy special and the hypothetical Hot 97/album bundle.
• Crew signs off with well-wishes: “Happy holidays. Be safe. Be blessed. I’m that nigga. He’s just ginger. Baby D’s hungover.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Chappelle’s masterful closer (44:36 | Mal): “I think that... Dave is one of the few comedians that can give us the mirror to look in as a country and as a people ... but then find light and humor in that.”
• Damaris’s clubbing regret (04:39): “I’m gonna go get a family. I need somebody to answer to. I can’t keep–”
• On Jake Paul (28:47 | Mal): “He’s definitely the greatest promoter when it comes to women’s boxing that I think we’ve probably seen. Shout out to Jake Paul for that alone.”
• Mal on duality and conspiracies (48:53): “Two things can always be true. If you go on Twitter now … Everything is so black and white. We were raised in the gray.”
• On moving past street mentality (83:11 | Mal): “The streets mean that mindset … when it’s ‘fuck the streets,’ it’s no, fuck that mindset, that we’ve been taught from so young … let’s grow past that mentality.”

Tone & Style

The episode is conversational, comedic, and occasionally heated. There’s constant ribbing (especially about hangovers and relationships), but also a willingness to push each other for honesty, especially on the “save the streets” theme, and how public figures walk the line between self-advancement and community responsibility. The language – as always – is unfiltered, with plenty of slang and cursing. The episode’s second half gets especially introspective and real about hip hop culture, legacy, and personal evolution.

For Listeners Who Missed It

“Save The Streets” is equal parts hangover therapy session, hip hop state-of-the-union, and cultural critique, held together by humor, hot takes, and real questions about legacy. From Damaris’s club adventures and Jake Paul’s cracked jaw, to debates over comedy authenticity and the true meaning of “fuck the streets,” this episode captures everything that makes New Rory & Mal a must-listen heading into 2026.

[C]

Oh, that's like Jesse Smollet, right? Just like him.

[B]

I was going to come, but I was robbed on the train.

[C]

I just want to shout out Eden. Eden, who still works with RAM Media.

[B]

Contrary to popular belief, we were shooting here yesterday.

[C]

Once people no longer work with us. That. Yeah, you think that they no longer. And some people still work with RAM Media. He does this thing where he goes when he comes in here when I'm not here, and he leaves me little sticky notes. So, Eden, I want to say that's.

[B]

Your naughty elf with.

[C]

Yeah, he left me a wong fu with a heart and a bow through the heart.

[B]

Oh, you guys have inside jokes.

[C]

Well, because Eden, you know, he does his podcast I forgot the name of it. Is it like boat equals in movies or something like that?

[B]

I didn't want to say it, but.

[C]

Huh. Cinema Poppies. The shout out to.

[B]

I'm gonna go on. We talked about doing training.

[C]

Yeah, I did too. So I am. I am gonna do Eddie's cinepops.

[B]

Call it Gasolina.

[C]

Eddie, I'm gonna do your Cinepoppies episode. But Eddie thought that I was gonna do the movie too. Wong Fu.

[B]

Okay, got you. I was like, easy on training day.

[C]

John Leguizamo, you know, But I told him I wanted to do Hanging with the Homeboys, another John Leguizamo movie. So this weekend, he was like, yo, we're gonna do Wong for. I was like, but that's not the movie I wanted to do. And I said, are you sure you want me to come on your podcast and talk about the movie Wong Fu? We will be canceled.

[B]

You're Puerto Rican, though.

[C]

Yeah, I'm Puerto Rican. So, you know, shout out to John Leguizamo. But I was like, I don't know who.

[B]

Eden got in trouble. Apparently, he's not Puerto Rican.

[C]

No, Eden's not Puerto Rican.

[B]

No, no, no. John is not Puerto Rican.

[C]

John Leguizamo is not Puerto Rican.

[B]

I believe Eden went viral for explaining that he's been lying about being Puerto Rican for entire way. John Leguizamo was telling me yesterday. And we can fact check it. I'm cool with a slow opener. So Damaris can get hurt, you know, her footing. Yeah, so what? Eden went viral.

[C]

John Leguizamo's Colombian and American EDN went.

[B]

Viral on his podcast explaining this to people. And apparently, like, his team even reached out and was like, yo, take that clip down.

[C]

John Leguizamo's people.

[B]

I don't know if I'm allowed to.

[C]

Say that John Leguizamo is not Puerto Rican.

[B]

Blew my mind.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So I don't know, Ed, and I don't know if you want me to do your podcast on my Wong Fu. I don't know if you want to be canceled or not, but I got a lot of. A lot of things I would like to talk about about the movie Wong Fu. Yeah, I think in 2025, it can be very, well, 2026.

[B]

Very progressive.

[C]

Very progressive. I think we can have a very, very progressive con. But, Ed, and thank you for my. My sticky note.

[B]

Yeah, Eden and I were in here on a Sunday. We were shooting Prince Gerald. Prince Miller's podcast, Shout out to Prince. We shot an episode with him and Kenneth Supreme, McGriff's son, which is out now. It was a fucking amazing conversation of two family members around the holidays chopping it up, you know, Prince maybe disciplining him a bit for some of his.

[C]

Some of his antics.

[B]

His antics in the past.

[C]

Some of his antics. Kyle, who we've had on Shout out to Kyle, man. Kyle, stay out of trouble, man. Stay out of trouble.

[B]

Yeah, but check out Gerald Prince Miller's podcast that Ma and I are producing. So we were in here on Sunday with that and shooting that. We had a good time, dope. And it was too much time to kill to go meet Damaris, because Damaris set a reservation for 10pm when you start your night at 10pm this is how you come to work. See, Baby D, if we would did 6:30, I would have been there.

[C]

Baby D, when you hang out with me, you don't feel like that the next day, right? You have good food, good drinks, and you.

[A]

I hung out with you one time in my entire life.

[C]

That's it. But that's all you can remember. Now, at my funeral, you could talk about that one time we went to dinner, how you had a great time and you wasn't hungover the next day. Right?

[A]

Sure.

[C]

There you go. Bow. We are back. Rory.

[B]

Instead I was in your neck of the woods. Well, not where you live, but I was in Harlem. I went up there, just, you know, pass some turkeys out.

[C]

In Harlem. Yeah.

[B]

Last night, instead of going out to Pergola with. With.

[A]

I don't know. It was. I. I lost my voice. Screaming, she gonna call me baby. And you know what pisses me off? Screaming I'm a boss. AM I. I'm 32, 31. That song came out when I was like 21. Why have I been screaming the lyrics to I'm a boss for 10 years? Like I need to really scream.

[C]

Life and screaming I'm a boss when you got to be to work in the morning. It's funny that we don't never talk about screaming I'm a boss. On the couch at one when you gotta be at work in the morning. I'm a boss. No, you're gonna get. You're gonna be late. That's what you want. You might want to get home and get in bed right now, is what you want to do.

[B]

That's a screamable song, though. That was a good era of meek screamable songs. Outside of the intro, I'm a boss. What's. When he's shorty in the bathroom, she's screaming out, I'm coming.

[A]

House party.

[B]

House party. Screamable song. Meek had some. Some classic screamer.

[A]

So pause.

[C]

But yo, I'm about to say, how you know that? How you know about Ramik?

[A]

He screams. Okay, so that's. He makes screamable music because he's screaming.

[B]

True. And it's the 23rd. Now, I know some of you have not gotten a single Christmas gift or any shopping done. So I don't know, maybe give someone Patreon for a month. Yeah, that'd be a cool little stocking stuff. Or maybe we make those cards that you see, you know, that got the Applebees one Home Depot. They put them like in Dwayne reads, you should get like the new Rory Mole Patreon card.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

She just named three things that are not fish. She said shrimp, crab legs, and what?

[C]

Lobster.

[B]

I said, what do I have three fish.

[C]

I said, now name the three fishes that you cook.

[B]

Talking to hungover people.

[C]

I'm gonna do the three fishes. Shrimp, crab legs, and lobster. That's not fish. Your baby did so hung over.

[B]

No poke at my Christmas, but it'll be baking there.

[C]

Nobody told you to go fucking drink. Ace of Spade and Don Julio.

[B]

Look at you now.

[C]

You a mess.

[B]

What else y' all had in the section? That's a lot of bottles for three young women, you know?

[C]

You know? No, we don't know. I don't know. Y' all had six bottles and it was three.

[A]

Oh, you know how that be. That's why I'm hungover. We had to.

[C]

We had to drink all that. That's why I'm hungover. Oh, my God. That is hilarious. As long as everybody made it home safe and everybody's good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Alex had to. Alex had to get up and, like, you know when you drunk and, like. Like, I don't have. People say I don't have a real job, and I get so angry. Like, this is a real job, but, like, I can come in here at 12 o' clock hungover, and it's funny. Anything I do other than, like, die makes this podcast better. Like anything.

[B]

How would you pass away.

[C]

Over alcohol poisoning?

[B]

Oh, that's not funny.

[A]

That's not. No.

[B]

But, like, people passing away isn't funny, but there are funny ways that people have passed away.

[C]

Like what? Name a funny way.

[B]

I'm not even going down that.

[C]

No, no.

[B]

Maybe on Patreon we get into the top 10 funniest.

[C]

Top 10 funniest ways you can die. That sounds like a clip, but no, for real.

[B]

Like, puffer fish. Right. Dumbass. Snorkeling retreat.

[A]

We. Yeah, I. I can come in here and. And y' all will just laugh at me. Like, me being drunk. Y' all just laugh at me. Me get my heart broken. Y' all just laugh at me. Like, if. Like anything me is lore. If I go to jail. It's all funny. Yeah, my friends have, like, real jobs. Like, Alex is building a jail right now. Like, she got to put outlets in a jail.

[C]

She's building a jail?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, she's a Democrat. Go ahead.

[B]

Like privatized.

[A]

No, she's a. She's an electrical engineer. But, yeah, like, imagine trying to do some working out, electricity drawing and shit while you drunk. I could never do no shit like that.

[C]

Yeah, that's like. That's a job. You got to be alert.

[B]

Can you imagine being a the prison inmate and thinking electrical engineers coming, and Alex show up and you've been locked up for 10 years.

[C]

Chill. Just chill. Relax. Calm down. Lee trying to get canceled already. Going. Canceled for what?

[B]

Anytime there's even, like, a big female CEO, the. The inmates go crazy. Yeah, there's like a bad electrical engineer. They'd be calm.

[C]

No, no, they definitely would not be calm.

[B]

Jesus.

[C]

It'll be pandemonium on that tier for sure.

[B]

Well, on Saturday night into Sunday, my phone was blowing up with more congratulations, and I'm thinking, oh, people are getting some of the Netflix can't speak Netflix news a little late. You know, they read the article this and that. No, everyone was congratulating me on being the new morning show host of Hot 97.

[C]

You're the new morning show host of Hot 97. You too?

[B]

No. You too.

[C]

Me? Yeah. I've never spoke to. I'll see you at 5am I've never spoke to nobody from Hot 97.

[A]

You have side ventures.

[B]

Let's. Let's start at the beginning. Okay, let's start, I want to say, Friday. Hot 97 announced a coming soon image with three individuals. And I am not here to shit on these people the way everyone else did in New York, but we're just not familiar with who these three people are, to be quite honest. And they could be very talented. Rondell Smith, Lana Harris, and I don't know if this is a playoff, like a million.

[C]

Okay, is this real?

[B]

Okay. Everyone assumed that this meant they were taking over the morning show, which everyone just started shitting on me in the comments. See, this is why the show is not valid. The Rory just be making shit up. Well, let's start with the actual words that I Did say. Because I know you guys always ignore the words that were said. Yeah. And just go with what you assume you heard. I had said I had spoken to the person that was in negotiations. I don't know if they're taking the gig.

[C]

Right.

[B]

But I thought it made sense for HOT to reach out to them. Also, if you read what Hot 97 posted, it says the new Hot 97 hosts, they have cleared house on so much shit. It does not say the morning show host whatsoever.

[A]

Right.

[B]

But then Flex put a bunch of crying emojis under it and now I'm really fucking confused on what's going on.

[C]

Yeah, I don't know what's going on.

[B]

So then come Saturday, I get a DM from a YouTuber that was sent an email from somebody that I will obviously not say say their name, but a former employee of. Who bought 97 iMedia.

[A]

Yeah, something like that.

[B]

Something I. Yeah, they bought it from ebis. She was a former employee there during layoffs. She was let go, but she still had all the emails of the potential hosts and what they would be offered for a three year deal. We were on there at a million dollars. I'm not sure if they were saying a million dollars for three years. A million dollars or a million dollars each year if you take a three year deal. Now, I am not shaming anyone's salary whatsoever. I've been dead broke. I'm. I want to make sure I'm not coming across as that. But if you are on a W2 in New York City and New York State, after taxes, a million dollars split twice. City tax, state tax, federal tax, you could be a manager at Chipotle and make that in three years.

[C]

Yeah. That's a fact. But this is.

[A]

And then y' all gotta split it in half.

[B]

Yeah. So what's up?

[C]

Nothing. Nothing is up at all. This is all news to me. I had no idea about this.

[B]

Some people on there. Gay P from on the radar, so. And Heineken, Armand Wiggins. Yeah. Just a bunch of people that media code was looking at. I can speak for myself. I have not spoken to one person from Hot 97. Nobody's reached out. I have no idea the validity of this entire thing. But I mean it's a podcast, so we can have fun. All of that. Mill's getting it done, bro.

[A]

What will be the price?

[B]

Because I know how much that on the air.

[A]

I know how much I value will be the starting price. I know how much I value like your.

[B]

Well, I know my first question would not actually Be the price it would be. What are you expecting of Mall and I at Hot 97? What is this true commitment? Am I flex, where I have to wear the brand on my forehead for the rest of my life and dedicate everything I have to this morning show? Or am I showing up for four hours every morning and getting the job done and just getting good ratings and then going about my merry way? That's what I would want to know. Like, what are you really expecting out of a morning show co host right now?

[A]

But even that you don't want to do that shit. We were just talking about how that shit takes up your entire life.

[B]

I mean, yes, but we were also saying, as podcasters, we can relate, that we already can't get a fucking day off or go on vacation or see our families or, you know.

[C]

No, we can't.

[A]

We're literally doing it this weekend.

[B]

I'm up at 4am anyways with Amara. Like, shit, I could just go there for a few hours and walk over here.

[A]

That's too much.

[B]

Listen, I wouldn't mind having health insurance.

[A]

Fair. That's fair.

[C]

I don't know if sometimes it's cool.

[B]

To be an employee.

[C]

I don't know if I want to talk that much.

[B]

Oh, no, you just repeat the tapes. Yeah. It's a bad pitch for them to hire us.

[C]

Yeah. I don't know if I want to talk that much, though.

[B]

I mean, you know, there's breaks in between. You think they let me DJ?

[C]

Why not?

[B]

Cause they have DJs.

[C]

Yeah, but I mean, you could create a playlist.

[B]

No, probably. I'm sure they will program. And first of all, morning radio is you just gotta play the hits. People don't even want to play the jams. Don't play a new song, which you are feeling right now.

[C]

So it's really not that bad if you think about it. If you just allow. Again, this is my first time hearing it. So this is just all. Just us joking and having fun with this. I've Never heard about Hot 97 thinking of Rory and myself at all. But if they wanted us to do them on the show, I would sit in there and I would say, okay, but how are we doing it? Are you gonna let us do it our way? Cause if it's just music and us just talking shit in between the songs, it's not that bad.

[B]

That's kind of my point. I would ask, what are you looking for from us besides just the ratings at a certain.

[C]

Let us create the playlist. Let us have fun, talk shit. A little bit. And you know.

[A]

But y' all curse so much, though. I don't know about radio for y'. All. Y' all curse so much.

[C]

I don't have to curse.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. Try it for the rest of the episode.

[B]

Okay. Are you gonna get me, like, angry baby D?

[C]

I don't curse that much, though. You think I curse a lot when I speak?

[B]

Yes, we all. We all curse more than.

[A]

You're not a hard cur. Like, you're not a hard swear, though. Like, me and Rory are hard swears. Like, we swear like trying to get better. It's bad. But you just say curse words, like in passing. So you do curse often, but it's not. It doesn't feel like you're cursing because there's not so much aggression behind it. Me and Rory are like, fuck people. Like, that's our favorite curse word.

[C]

She knows.

[A]

Yours is like shit.

[B]

Ours is like CC to take that million dollar salary pretty quick.

[C]

Yeah, but I can clean up. I can clean that up. For the right price.

[B]

Oh, no, I think for the right. I easily could too.

[C]

Oh, for the right price.

[B]

You know, having a curse price and a non curse price.

[C]

I got a curse.

[B]

I got to be able to curse fee.

[C]

And I got a non curse fee. Yeah, absolutely.

[B]

Also, like, the way radio has changed in digital, like the way Breakfast club dominated on YouTube and socials throughout the last decade. Are they looking for that? Because that's a. That takes a lot. Not a budget just for co hosts, but for digital people, program directors, producers. Like, that takes a lot as well. That's not just being there for four hours. We got to do hour long format interviews as well as the radio. So to me, that's not like I'm not in and out of there five to nine. Like you got stay there. That's. That's why I'm saying that price doesn't get it done.

[C]

Yeah, that price definitely wouldn't get it done. Even though that we've never spoke to anybody. Nobody ever approached us about that. So I'm not sure where this came from. But yeah, that number would definitely not. I'm gonna just put that out. That number would not get it done.

[B]

I think shout out to our brothers Esso and Heineken, they would be great. But if you think if the Marist thinks we'd have to curve some of our point of view and some of our language, that's the one hiding up there would be FCC's dream. I think they do a great job, but they would have to. It's the same thing with us with Curb, how we speak about certain things. They'd be great. But I still think the person that I had mentioned last week that was in negotiations is still the best fit, even seeing this list.

[C]

I do too.

[B]

So, I mean, I hope that works out. Still negotiations in that regard. But, yeah, apparently we're the new hosts. We gotta check with Netflix if this is okay. But, yeah, I mean, I'll see you at 4am on January 1st.

[C]

Let's do it. I'm looking forward to it, man. Speaking of Netflix, Rory, this weekend was a big weekend on Netflix. It was Friday night Netflix. Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul, the fight that we've all been, you know, I guess we were waiting for. We thought it was gonna be tank, but then it had to pivot to Anthony Joshua. Bless you, Baby D. Thank you.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

It was throw up. I don't think that was a sneeze.

[C]

Was that throw up? You threw up over there, Baby D. Sorry. Don't worry about it. We got somebody to clean that up. So the Anthony Joshua Jake Paul was Friday Rory. And everybody had their, you know, apprehensions going into it. Is this fixed? What is it gonna. Baby D. What was that? I don't even know what that was. Did that come out your mouth for your ass, Baby D. Which one was that? Was that a sneeze, cough or fart? Which one was that? It's all kind of gas is happening right now, Baby D. Are you okay?

[B]

Okay.

[C]

You all right? All right, now I'm gonna try this one more time. Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul and Jake Paul, Friday nights exclusive exclusively on our new home, Rory, our new partners Netflix. So the fight happened. And, you know, going into it, me and Peach was talking, you know, all week. I was like, man, I don't know. Jake Paul might get killed. He might get hurt. There's no way. But then I was apprehensive. Cause I was like, Anthony Joshua. This is Anthony Joshua's biggest payday. Baby D. You okay?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

All right, good. This was Anthony Joshua's biggest payday. And we all knew, obviously Anthony Joshua was the toughest opponent that Jake probably got into the ring. I mean, he fought Mike Tyson, but an older Mike Tyson.

[B]

Anthony Joshua has some of the toughest opponents that a professional boxer.

[C]

Yeah. But, you know, Anthony Joshua's taken a couple losses in the real boxing world. He's taken a couple losses. He's kind of, you know, people are like, he's not the fighter that he once was. So, you know, the Jake Paul fans felt like this was a Safe fight for Jake. They felt like, okay, you know, Anthony Joshua took a couple losses. You know, it's like, this is the perfect time. Let me first say salute to Jake Paul for even taking this fight, for even getting into the ring. I think Jake Paul has proven that he's not afraid to fight anybody. He's proven that he's one of the greatest marketers. He's proven that he's one of the greatest promoters. He's definitely the greatest promoter when it comes to women's boxing that I think we've probably seen. So shout out to Jake Paul for that alone. There's not many people that would be willing to get in the ring with Anthony Joshua if they weren't, quote, unquote. Quote, unquote, real boxers.

[B]

For $100 million, I get my ass whooped by Anthony Jackson. Break my jaw.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. 100%. So the fight had.

[B]

I respect that. Jake Paul has built himself in a position as a fighter. Margaret. To even. No one would put that offer on the table.

[C]

Right.

[B]

No one's. Yo. Netflix. Rory. Anthony Joshua.

[C]

Right.

[B]

You know, I might make the Hot 97 salary, but.

[C]

Yeah. But Jake Paul's obviously worked himself into a position where the money to draw is huge. It's a huge name, huge brand, and a lot of people tuned in to watch it. But I think what happened is what most people thought was gonna happen. Jake Paul was gonna get hurt. He was gonna get knocked out. Well, I will give him credit. He didn't go to sleep. He just got his jaw broke in two places and wasn't able to. His corner was like. And that's it. The ref was like, yeah, let's just stop before Jake gets seriously hurt.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I was waiting for 6ix9ine's rendition of through the Wire. Let's get the canvas. But I didn't know 6ix9ine was still around.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That was, like, the biggest shock.

[C]

He's streaming.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

He's doing the stream thing.

[B]

All right. Yes. Do I give Jake Paul credit for getting the Ring of God respected? For sure. This is the first time we've seen Jake Paul go against somebody that. Where he had a significant physical difference.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Or age difference. He's always kind of had the upper hand who he was fighting, no matter what. Anthony Joshua is probably the perfect, like, pause, physically fit boxer currently right now as far as height reach. Knowing how to move at six, six like that, that quickly and smoothly is very difficult.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'd be shitting my pants. And I'm like, Damn. I didn't know he was that big. Like, getting in that ring, I would probably shit my pants. So I give Jake Paul credit there. I'm not gonna give a bunch of credit to somebody for running for five rounds and grabbing legs. Like, yeah, he got one or two shots where I was like, all right, cool. I think, you know, AJ's just trying to get him to get his hands down. That's why he let that one shot go. It was boring. I mean, the knockout was incredible, but duh. Like, even it was. The first three rounds were some of the worst ref boxing I've ever seen in my entire life. Like, they were even giving penalties to AJ was like, dog, this guy's tackling his legs. What is he supposed. Even the announcer towards the end was like, guys, that's not his fault. You can't give him. You can't have a point taken away because someone is hanging on his leg.

[C]

Well, the ref said that. The ref said, you know, people didn't pay to see this, so, you know, please stop. But, I mean, listen, at that point, I think Jake Paul realized, like, damn, like, I'm not. First of all, I'm not. My wind is not as up as I thought it would be.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm doing a lot of, you know, running, dancing in the ring. My cardio is not what I thought it was gonna be.

[B]

A whole fight.

[C]

Yeah. And then, you know, he landed one on Anthony Joshua that I think he might have felt like would have shook anybody else a little bit. And once he saw Anthony Joshua just walk through that like nothing had happened, I think at that point, Jake Paul knew, all right, yeah, this is. I'm outmatched physically. I can't do nothing with this guy. Let me just die here tonight.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I think at that point, it became clear that Jake Paul was in flight mode.

[B]

I mean, I give him credit for taking the knockout because when he was knocked down right before that, in that round, he could have stayed down. Yeah, I respect that, because I know he couldn't see. I know his brain was. He got into survival mode where his brain just was carrying his legs wherever the fuck they were going to go. And he sat there to take a shot that broke his jaw in two places. So I respect that. After he was grabbing the legs and doing all that and making it a boring fight, he got up to go get knocked out. Like, he could have stayed down. So I respect that. He gave us a show.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And got up to get knocked the.

[C]

He got his jaw broke for the brand. He did he got his jaw broke.

[B]

For the blood, just so he could stick his tongue out and make a T shirt?

[C]

Yeah, he spit out blood. You know that. That's part of it. That's part of the. The allure, you know, it's not real, it's not fake.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It's not rigged. My jaw's really broke. I'm really spitting up blood. You know, that's part of it. Just to prove to people that I'm really in this ring, really taking shots and it's not scripted. So I don't know what this does to Jake Paul's brand moving forward. I don't know if Jake Paul gets back in the ring and fight after this.

[A]

He definitely does.

[C]

I don't know if people are gonna want to see it, though. You know what I'm saying? I just don't know if people are gonna. People have been waiting for him to get beat, waiting for him to get knocked out. It happened. I mean, who do you go unless. And I think it would have been worse with Tank because Tank is faster than Anthony. He's not as strong as Anthony Joshua. He's faster, he hits hard. I think the loss would have been worse with Tank. So does he go back and fight Tank after this?

[B]

I think that would be the play. If they can all get on the same page and Tank can. Cause again, we really don't know what happened in behind the scenes with that. We could take Jake Paul's word for.

[C]

It, but there's other guys. Obviously you could put Jake Paul versus and it's a draw.

[B]

Well, he said it's going to take some time. He's going to take a year. But I still think people are going to tune in for Jake Paul. But we talked a few episodes ago, like, the allure is starting to come off a little bit. No matter what. Like, things are always going to start to plateau, but people are still going to tune in with Jake Paul.

[C]

I mean, listen, man, if they don't, he's made a lot of money. His promotion company has promoted some really good fights. Shout out to Alicia Baumgartner on defending her belt. I think she's, you know, what she's doing on the woman's side is great for the sport. So I think J. Paul is gonna probably move more into just promoting full time than actually being a draw and being a talent. But listen, you never know. If there's somebody out there that they feel like they can get another big bag for, then, you know, Jake Paul's obviously proving that he'll get in the ring with anybody. So salute to Jake Paul and his team for putting together another great fight night on Netflix. Now, after the fight ended, I just.

[B]

Wanna ask, did you think it was gonna go more than one round? Cause that was what a lot of people were saying. It was a win for Jake Paul because it went.

[C]

I thought it was going to go three rounds.

[B]

Do you think Anthony Joshua held back a bit so we could get a fight?

[C]

Yeah, he definitely held back. I mean, Anthony Joshua could have went in there and he could have put Jake Paul away in the first round if he wanted to. Anthony Joshua is, you know, light years ahead of Jake Paul in any fight ring, but I think that that was part of it. He wanted to kind of just dance around a little bit and exchange punches here and there. But after a while, it got to a point where Anthony Josh was like, all right, enough is enough. Let me just go ahead and get this night over with.

[B]

But even then, though, like, I feel like Anthony, he probably thought about knocking him out in the first round, but Jake was running around everywhere. Yeah, it's like sometimes when you play spades with somebody that doesn't know how to play spades, it fucks up how the game goes. And they may even win. Just because you're not playing the right way, it's fucking up how the game goes. That's how Jake Paul was in their fight. Jake Paul, it may have went longer because AJ really couldn't have knocked him out because he wasn't boxing. Jake Paul had like, you can't knock someone out. That's not boxing.

[C]

Jake Paul had no chance in this fight.

[B]

Oh, no, of course not. I'm saying maybe it went the distance because he wasn't boxing. He was running and grabbing legs. Like, you can't knock that person out.

[C]

Well, yeah, I mean, he. Anthony caught him.

[B]

He got a box to get knocked out.

[C]

He caught up to me when it was time. He's, you know, that. That right hook was the. That was the Netflix, you know, the Dooms yo da Dune. That's what Jake Paul heard.

[B]

Just dead silence.

[A]

After that.

[C]

All Jake Paul heard was, are you still fighting? Are you still watching? Are you still fighting? Like, Jake Paul didn't want no more of that. He saw his face, he was like, woo. He knew his shit was broke. One thing about it, you know, when something snapped and it was like, that was. I've never heard my face do that before. I don't know what that sound was, but it wasn't good.

[B]

And also in the interview, that's why I fuck with Jake Paul. He's like, yo, I think my jaw is broken. Then stop talking.

[C]

Nah, I mean, he was letting it be known. Like, that's. Again, that's part of it. That's part of like, listen, this is not fake. I really got hit. I really. My jaw is really broke. That's part of the brand. To show people that it's not scripted the way they think. It is.

[B]

Not your favorite or best knockouts. What are some of the funniest knockouts to you? Because I even think Jake Paul has one of those with Nate Robinson.

[C]

No, that wasn't funny. I was scared for Nate.

[B]

No. Of. I mean, yeah, once he was okay. It was. It was a funny knockout. Yeah, yeah, it was a very funny knockout. Manny Pacquiao, because they just. They memed up every Michael Jackson. Manny, are you okay? Are you okay, Manny? Like, that was one of the funnier knockouts.

[C]

Zab Judah. Was it Ricky Hadden? Yeah, was Zab. Did the stanky leg. Yeah, that was a funny knockout.

[B]

It wasn't funny, but it was kind of funny. What was the. Who was Mayweather fighting when the ref didn't call time and May. That was like, well, all right. I mean, it wasn't funny per se, but it was kind of funny. Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz when he headbutted him and he thought that the ref had called time and Floyd was like, there's no time. So I'm gonna just clean. Knock you out when you're just standing there.

[C]

Yeah. Protect yourself at all times. Yeah.

[B]

Listen, they gave Floyd a lot of shit about that, but it's a fight. But if nobody calls time, like, I'm not gonna punch you.

[C]

Oh, this Nick Young minicon fight was. I don't know what Nick was doing. Nick went completely out the ring. I don't. Yeah, this was.

[B]

This.

[C]

I don't know what caused Nick to want to do this, but, you know, he had fun, I guess. Fun night, right? Going there. Get it working. Get a little sweaty. You know, it's all good.

[B]

Get the pen working.

[C]

Yeah. Get these good to get the pin working again. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

[B]

Mall. I know. All you want for Christmas and for New Year's for that matter is the all new iPhone 17 Pro. You've been talking about it for the entire year. It's happening now.

[C]

But yeah, as you were saying right before the fight, Dave Chappelle announced that after the fight he would be dropping a surprise special on Netflix. Unstoppable, I believe, is the name of it.

[C]

You watched the Unstoppable, Rory.

[B]

I did because I watched the next day. I didn't stay up that late.

[C]

You watched the Unstoppable. I watched the Unstoppable. I don't know what you. What you watched in your home.

[B]

I listened to Nas, the End album.

[C]

Yeah. Which I never understood why they gave Nas so much about that, too. Yeah, that's another conversation.

[B]

Yeah, I hear you.

[C]

You know what I mean? But Dave Chappelle's new special, what did you think?

[B]

Where. Where to begin? The second half of that was, I wouldn't say some of the best standup comedy I've ever seen, but some of the best standup I've ever seen in my entire life. By Far. And I hate to even, like, do the comparison thing, but, you know, Chappelle is of that. That cloth of George Carlin where so much of what is going on is funny, but it is very much political with a point of view.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And that second act, even as he was going into it, this would be the longest closer ever. How he tied everything back to his original point throughout the four different segments he did in that second half was genius. Like, to write that out would be genius, but to perform it that way in that type of style was like. I mean, Chappelle is the goat. Like, what do you say at this point? Yeah, the first half was very funny. Some stuff repetitive. You know, I. I think Chappelle's trans jokes are hilarious, but any comic, like, at some point, let's just move on, but, you know, still funny in there. And Chappelle just likes to piss people off. First half was very funny. Few parts were a little dull, but that second half was masterful. I watched the second half specifically three different times. It's some of the greatest writing I've ever heard.

[C]

I enjoyed it. I thought it was very important. I thought, well, Dave hit it on the nose. His voice has become more powerful than he intended it to be. So naturally, I think that his comedy style has to change. When your voice becomes that powerful and your brand becomes that big, I think your brand and your style has to change a little bit. But it was entertaining, it was informative. I love the fact, like you said, the second half of it, his closer, how he tied everything together, the man act in which Puff was found guilty of, he ties it all the way back to, you know, obviously Jack Johnson. Just the way he did that was just masterful. I think that, you know, Dave is one of the few comedians that can give us, you know, give us the mirror to look in as a country and as a people and say, you know, these are the things that's always been around. These are the things that we've always had to deal with. These always been our issues. But then find light and find humor in that. And I think that's what Dave did with his closer. The way he closed it with I Stand With Israel. You know, everybody's talking about that, but even that was very intentional.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, and I think it just speaks to what Dave has been able to accomplish. Him talking about buying up all the property in the town in Ohio. You know, it just speaks to what Dave is doing as a man, as a talent, as one of the greatest comedians, one of the greatest Writers, you know, he's been able to do some groundbreaking things and build his brand to a level where, you know, he can do some incredible things on stage, just him and the mic. So I thought it was great. It's not the, you know, slap knee, slap comedy that people probably was expecting, but I don't think, I don't think we should go into Dave Chappelle specials expecting that anymore.

[B]

But even like when he did his first Netflix deal, he did The George Floyd one, I think 7:13. He also did the one after HBO started streaming Chappelle Show Redemption Song, I believe was that it was very much like that in a much longer form of the stuff that he's been doing. But that second half, I mean, it like music and stand up, like the classic greatest stuff speaks to the exact time of what's happening. Like if you go listen to Illmatic, you know what 1994 in New York City was like?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If you weren't there, you could just listen and you know now what that is how Chappelle, like you said, put the mirror in front of us to how our society has become so hypocritical. He showed both sides, even to the metaphor of him buying up the entire Silver Springs, Ohio. This would be gentrification if the races were remove.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

And then he gives a perspective of even understanding the slum lords that gentrify. Like, what about that firehouse?

[C]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

I understand. That's not my problem, right? Oh, you can't afford that rent. I can afford it. Like.

[C]

Right.

[B]

It's just showing. He's showing both sides. And I think a lot of comics and a lot of artists show one side, even down to what we ended up cutting Damaris when it was a certain mass shooting we were talking about. And I said to Maris, I don't have a conspiracy. I'm not saying I know anything that's happening here. This just seems fishy, which is fine. But the Internet, myself included too. I am a hypocrite. We've become so much into the deep diving of conspiracies that yes, some conspiracies are a thousand percent true. Is there hip hop cops? 100%. Was Nipsey possibly targeted by Hip Hop Cops? Sure. Did Nipsey also happen to be from a gang? And maybe there's nothing really here whatsoever. The Dr. Sebi thing, well, my man's also died from AIDS with Dr. Sebi. We've all just gotten so deep into this that sometimes the things in front of our faces just really is what it is.

[C]

Right.

[B]

Is Puff a piece of shit for beating up Cassie? Absolutely. Is that man act shit fucking nuts at the same time? Two things can be true.

[C]

Right.

[B]

Like that's what I got out of that entire second half.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Two things can always be true. If you go on Twitter right now, everything, no pun intended, is so black and white. When we were raised in the gray area of things and we've become so black and white on everything. Yeah. Puff and Big, we're definitely talking about hip hop cops. Did hip hop cops know that Puff was beaten people up? Yeah. They didn't do shit. Yeah. It's convenient that it happened this time.

[C]

Right.

[B]

But it's Puff still a piece of shit. Absolutely. Two things can be true.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So that's really what I. I think I took from that entire thing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

We've all become hypocrites in our own brains about nonsense. Some things are conspiracies and some things are just. This is what it is. Sometimes Tupac punches the wrong Crip.

[C]

Right.

[B]

Was he also targeted by the FBI? Thousand percent.

[C]

Right. Right.

[B]

So, you know, I just thought he. He put it in the most masterful way of wording what's currently going on. I thought it was great, especially on Twitter.

[C]

I thought it was great. I enjoyed it. I watched it twice. Because, you know, you watch it the first time and you're like, oh, shit, that was dope. Then you gotta go watch it again. Cause I might have missed something. But yeah, it was a masterful, masterful class of just stand up storytelling, truth telling that I think only Dave can do in the way that he does it. I think at this point in time, it's probably stamped that he is probably the greatest comedian of all time. I mean, obviously I grew up on guys like Richard Pryor and Martin and Eddie Murphy and guys like that who are goats in themselves, but I don't know if they can do well, they didn't. I don't know if they did. But what Dave has been able to do for longer when it comes to stand up, a lot of those guys, you know, once they cross over into film Hollywood, they don't really come back to the standup world like that. It's kind of like, you know, leave that alone. I did that. You know, I grew from that into, you know, a movie star.

[B]

Yeah. Some people use stand up to get to the sitcom. And then it's true.

[C]

Yeah. Like, Dave is not true. Dave is not a movie star. No, I wouldn't say Dave Chappelle is a movie star. He stood true. True to being a standup comedian. Like, that's what I think.

[B]

His folks could have just stayed on TV and did more.

[C]

He wanted to do that. He could have did that. But even that sketch comedy, that's a different type of tv.

[B]

Chappelle, to me, is a lot like Nas as far as the latter parts of their career where they're already legends and could just go off into the sunset. Open comedy clubs do this and that, but are still putting out content at a higher clip than some of the younger kids. Yeah, Like, I love that Nas keeps. And some of them may not, you know, magic. 3 may not be as good as King Disease. Like sometimes it won't be the best. Like the dreamer. Chappelle's stand up before this, I liked it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It wasn't like ground. There was moments in it, but it wasn't like groundbreaking to me. Chappelle could have easily had Chappelle show killing him softly, for what it's worth. Did sticks and stones and went off in the sunset. And Dave Chappelle would still be the greatest comedian ever. He's still like, even from his deal with Netflix in 2017. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. He's put out 12.

[C]

Right. That's. Well.

[B]

And some of them, when you wouldn't say complete stand ups, like the six, like Redemption Song, this and that, but that's still, to me, a piece.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That amount of output hosting SNL 3, 3 or 4 times since that, like, he's Nas to me in that regard. You could just go retire and you'd be the goat. But no one would ever say otherwise.

[C]

Nobody would question it. Yeah, nobody would question it.

[B]

I love that they're showing how this, this, how legends can age and still give us stuff and not be the disappearing act that most legends, rightfully so are. Yeah, I want to retire. I don't want to fuck Eddie Murphy. No, I don't want to do anything. And I get that you're a legend for Everest, but. So that's why I'm like, thank you, Chappelle, that you're still so active at this age, already in goat status.

[C]

Right.

[B]

So I think that's something to be said as well for both Nas and Dave Chappelle. But yeah, I can't say enough about this special. It's.

[C]

It's Baby D. What'd you think about it? Did you see it?

[A]

I haven't seen it yet.

[C]

No. All right. Thank you for that, Baby D. Yeah, no problem. You know, I'm just checking with you.

[B]

Every now and Again, they weren't playing it at code.

[C]

Yeah, they wasn't playing this at Pagola Baby.

[A]

But actually, I think it's funny. I was, when I was just scrolling on, looking for more stuff on this special, Don't Call Me White Girl. Mona says that she would like to do one of those, a standup comedy special. Do you think that she could do that?

[B]

I think Mona's hilarious. Stand up's tough. I mean, I would say that for anyone. Stand up is much more difficult than it looks. But Mona, I mean, Mona has amazing live shows. Like, I think that's something Mona could do. I think it would take. Take practice like anything else. But yeah, Mona is great live performer. She's great on the microphone. She's funny, she has a great perspective. Yeah, I think, I think again, it would just take time. Like, I like, I appreciate that. You know, TI Is putting out a comedy special, but he got booed at the Barclays a few years ago because, like, this isn't that easy. I don't care how amazing of a writer, performer, articulate the TI Is, this is a different monster. Standing there with just a microphone and entertaining people is one of the toughest things in the world.

[C]

Yeah, it's not. That's not something to play with.

[B]

It's harder than this right here. Like when you have to have a perspective, be funny with just a microphone at a bunch of people standing in front of you with a two drink minimum. Yeah, it's tough.

[C]

I mean, but then, you know, also too, what people gotta realize about a lot of this. When you talk about T.I. having his comedy special coming out, he probably had real comedians writing with him and helping him, you know, kind of deliver that. Now, T.I. is a performer, he's a writer, you know, he's a rapper, he's an artist. So he. The stage and the microphone is not foreign to TI now what he's doing with comedy is, you know, obviously a different thing because you have to keep the audience compelled. It's not music playing behind you. There's not, you know, things like that to kind of fill in those empty pockets. So, I mean, I'm interested to see what TI does with this comedy. But, you know, you gotta know too that he has real comedians helping him. I don't think he's writing all his material by us. I would be very impressed if he is.

[B]

I mean, where do you stand? I guess stand up is like, music is so collaborative. But we always also say, like, when it comes to just straight up raps, we want the person that's rapping to be behind the pen. Yeah, I think collaborating on anything.

[C]

He's always been different in that space, though. I mean, like the great tad writers, the great, great comedians.

[B]

I mean, I know the Richard Pry and Paul Mooney had some type of situation. I know there's always been what's the way. The oldest way in Brother Keenan. Didn't Keenan write something with. With Eddie before Raw or something? He's in the credits. I want to say. I know that's been there, but that's. It's been not like confirmed that they were writing for the standup. I know some people said, oh, he didn't wrote that sketch. That went before it. It wasn't like he was writing for Eddie. That's always been a thing with stand up comedy. Like, that has to be your perspective, the same way you look.

[C]

No, the perspective can be yours.

[B]

Sketch comedy, screenwriting movies, all that, of course, is a collaborative process. But I feel like the real standup comedians look at it the same way the real rappers do. Like, this can't be a collaborative thing. If we want to do a sketch together, that's fine. We want to write a movie together, let's collaborate. But your standup should be coming from your perspective and your thoughts.

[C]

Yeah, but Kev has the Red Cup Boys, right? Is that the Plastic Cup Boys? Plastic Cup Boys. A lot of them collab and kind of like the perspective as a comedian can be yours. But if I have funny friends that are comedians as well, they will then help me kind of like curate, punch.

[B]

Up some stuff again. I'm not saying, you know, Kev is any less of a standup because he has some of his friends help him out with it. I'm not saying any of that, but typically it's been that way in stand up comedy the way it has been with real MCs, real hip hop type of thing. I feel like those two things have mirrored each other. Where you can collaborate on a song, a hook, you can collaborate on a sketch, on a movie. But nah, this has to be. This has to be you. The verse has to be you. The standup has to be you.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, but yeah, I don't know.

[B]

I'm sure comedians could teach TI like certain tricks. They're like, oh, that's a good idea. Here's a better way to go about it. I wouldn't be mad at that. That's just mentorship and everything, which I'm sure every stand up has had.

[C]

But I don't, I don't want to.

[A]

Put writers on him if he hasn't said that.

[B]

Listen, if this is what TI Wants to do with his life, more power too, I think. And no, I'm serious. Like, no, I'm not.

[A]

I'm smiling because I'm smiling for something else. Continue your thought.

[B]

I. Yeah, I think it's when people clown people for going into other lanes. Like, what's wrong with trying shit? Isn't that the point of, like, being here?

[C]

Oh, no.

[B]

If this is something TI Is passionate about, I'm like, yeah, you know what? I wanna go try that shit. I give him props.

[A]

It's just so funny.

[B]

I give props to Jake Paul for getting in a ring with a monster. Yeah, I think you tried it.

[A]

It's so funny because TI Seems like such a serious person, so to see him sway. I mean, granted, like, I've kept up with him, his personal life and things like that because of his show. He had a very good reality TV show with his family. But he just seems to be such a serious. So to switch and do like stand up comedy is like, it's just such a totally different lane. So I can understand why people wouldn't take him serious, but he just got to prove him wrong.

[B]

So. Yeah, that's just tough though, because if I go to the comedy club, I'd be like, that's T.I.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Even if he's saying something funny and, like, is doing a great bit, I'm not gonna get past, that's T.I.

[A]

That'S rubber band, man.

[C]

That's the hardest part for T.I. i think through this whole thing is people being able to differentiate between T.I. the rapper, the artist, and T.I. the comedian. Because no matter what, I'm looking at T.I. on stage.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So it's like, if I go.

[B]

But he did great with acting. I never felt anytime he's acted that like, oh, that's TI which with some actors I've felt that way. Like, I'm not watching this character, I'm watching.

[C]

Yeah. Like, you know how hard it would be to go to a show and jeezy, come out and start telling jokes. TI Is funny, but it's like, jeez, if you don't turn that TM101 on and get to these. Fuck this comedy shit. Like, it's hard for those guys to transition into something. It's fucked up, but it's a real thing. It's hard to get people to love you for something polar opposite of what they already love you for. They love you for rapping in certain bars and that street shit. And then you come out here and debark lays on stage in Brooklyn cracking jokes. Nobody want to hear that shit, man. That is tough.

[B]

I'm sure TI does respect, though, because he is such a great rapper and knows what it takes to do that. As far as pockets, cadences, words, sculpting a verse, that's the same with standup. As far as Pockets, as far as timing, as far as how we just watch Chappelle, how everything ties back together. There's an art to it. So I'm sure he understands that because he's a rapper. I just don't know if that's gonna show up on his stand up.

[C]

It's different, man. It's different. With standup, you don't have that music. You don't have that energy, you know what I'm saying, of the music behind you to support what you're saying. Stand up. You know, you write a bar and you get to the punchline and you like. That's hard when you say it with a beat. You get to stand up and you got a joke and you laying it out, and you get to the punch, and it don't punch like you thought, bro, you got a long night, see. Cause you could say a whack. You could have a whack bar in your verse, Rory. But when the hook come, and the hook is money and the beat is hard, it's all good. Everybody's still dancing, and you know what I'm saying, the energy is still up. As a comedian, you say some shit and that punchline don't hit like you thought. In the dressing room, you still got 15, 20,000 people sitting out there looking at you. They two hennessies in. They're like, all right, TI Go ahead. And you don't know. Turn the music on, nigga. Get back to what you do. Shut up and dribble. It turned into that quick.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know what I'm saying? But I'm excited to see TI Kind of get into this. And now that he got his first special, I think it's dope that he's even at a point where he could do his first comedy.

[B]

That would be a funny bit, though, what you actually just said, like, anytime TI Starts to bomb, the DJ just puts on one of his records. Just put a record on, gets the crowd back in. As I was saying, like I was saying before.

[C]

Yeah. Because that's what they love you for. That's what they know you for. That's what you've built your platform on is music, you know? And again, we love trying things. We love to see people trying different things and being passionate about doing other things. You know what I'm saying? But when you talking about stand up comedy, standup comedy to me is kind of like boxing. You can't just play around with that. No, I agree. You gotta go through the wringer. You just started doing comedy when we been going to the comedy club since we was 17, 18, going on stage, bombing, getting booed, all of that. And now with like a Dave Chappelle where he's at in his career. That didn't just happen overnight for Dave Chappelle.

[B]

Well, that's the funny thing about standup. If you look at all the greats, it's not like music where typically the person is in their 20s, they're younger when they make it.

[C]

Yeah, they always.

[B]

Most of our favorite legendary comedians made it post 35 years old, right. Some made it at 40.

[C]

Right?

[B]

Shit, Kev Hart, seriously funny was like, I don't know, a third of the force. But he had been working for 15 years. I think he was 35 when that came up.

[C]

Yeah, it's not. It's not easy, but Bill Burr made.

[B]

When he was old. Like, they grinded for 20 years before, and then they made it when they got older. That's because it takes that long to get that good at that type of shit. Louis CK was old as shit when he made it.

[C]

Yeah, comedy is something. It's funny, but it ain't funny if you ain't funny. It's funny, but it ain't funny if you ain't funny.

[A]

You could also be a funny. You could be the most hilarious person on earth. And that doesn't matter with standup. Yeah, stand up is the art. You could be funny as I think we're all very funny. And I also think we will all suck at standup.

[C]

I had a friend who was like.

[B]

All of us would. It would take up years and years and years to get good at it.

[C]

I had a friend who was like, super funny on the block, you know? You know that one friend, we like this nigga and we all tell him, yo, bro, you need to get into comedy. He was like, word, herb. I'm like, yo, bro, every time we out somewhere, you got the mic, you the funniest dude in the room. Like, you need to do something with that. That man. I ain't gonna lie. He did. What was it? BBQs. Remember when BBQs in the Bronx used to do comedy night?

[B]

Yeah, of course. A.

[C]

We all went out to support the.

[B]

Homie, it's a different world, man.

[C]

He went up there that ain't never known was in the crowd. Never seen this before. They got it there. Start getting into his bit. I said, yeah, now maybe he not as funny as I thought he was, man.

[B]

Yo, you start drowning and just looking at the crowd like, y' all on a date. Y' all in a date.

[C]

Yeah, that got. That got.

[B]

What's your birthday?

[C]

Yeah. All you heard was like, like collecting plates. And in the back I said, yeah, it's time to go ahead and get up out of here. Don't never do that again.

[B]

I was watching a Pete Davis interview and he was talking about when he started at a bowling alley in Staten Island. He was like, it sucked because every time you bomb, you would just hear like bowling pins. It would just be dead quiet, no one laughing as you just hear people bowling behind you.

[C]

Like, it's tough, man. It's tough.

[B]

That's part of the game, though. Which is crazy too, though, because like, like, usually you can realize when your music career is not going to make it. If you're trying to be a certain type of star when an age hits. Like, not everyone's Victoria Monet, where you can write and then hit your stardom a little bit later in your career. Sometimes not sometimes, mostly when you pass 28, it might be a dub for you. Yeah, stand up. You're gonna have that hope. Like, nah, all my favorites made it at 40. It'll happen for me. Then you hit 40 and you ain't making.

[C]

It's tough now you're 40. Yeah, it's tough.

[B]

No, that's. It's just a risky career. Not everyone's TI that can just play the King album after what's the name.

[C]

Of TI Special.

[B]

We'Ll say TI's is taking a risk, though. First of all, you come out in all leather.

[C]

That's Eddie.

[B]

You setting yourself up.

[C]

You can't do what Eddie do. Yeah, you can't. And it's the red and black.

[B]

You gotta know that my hour is hitting. When you throw the leather on, it's like laying down on your album cover. Like, you gotta know this is undeniably going to be fucking amazing.

[C]

You can't mess with the coming out with the leather. You can't mess with the powers of the comedians with the greats, man. You can't wear the red leather.

[B]

And I know stand up comedians that did 10 years before they ever dropped a special. Yeah, a special is hard to do, let alone just stand up. You coming out the Gate with a special. Like, at least hit a funny bone or a fucking improv.

[C]

And not only that, he doing this. He dropping it New Year's Eve.

[B]

I mean, Christmas Eve.

[C]

T, I'm rooting for you. I'm rooting for you, but that's tough.

[B]

I went to bed knowing there was a surprise Chappelle Special and said, I'll get around to it. You think I'm stopping what I'm doing on Christmas Eve to go see T.I.

[C]

Yeah, that's true.

[B]

I'm gonna end up watching. I'm not. I'm not here to hate.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, we gotta watch it.

[B]

But Christmas Eve.

[C]

Yeah, I don't know about Christmas. I might not watch it until after the new year.

[B]

Everyone's gonna be home. But, like, that's what. When the family shows up, like, yo, y' all wanna throw in the. I don't know if I'm listening to a new TI Album on Christmas Eve. I don't know if I'm doing anything on Christmas Eve.

[C]

I'm gonna check it out, though. We gonna support TI Man. Cheaper than Therapy, Christmas Eve. Yeah, we have to see. He got the red. He got the red leather on. So it's like, all right, you waking. You. You fucking with them comic powers. You know, the red, that's like the Batman suit. So. All right, we gotta see what TI Do.

[B]

Yeah. Before we get off music and entertainment. Did you guys listen to what's her name? Zanna? Monet. Xanax. Monet, the AI artist, you know, she was catching some heat from JD Wale, Kehlani. So she got in the booth, laid down a very heartfelt. This record of how she got it out the mud. This felt like, you know, when they're doing the American Idol, like, auditions, and then they like, like, cut to their life story and, like, you know, their mother has terminal cancer. Their dad lost two legs in Vietnam. You know, they live under a bridge. This is how this AI artist was sounding like the world has literally just been on her shoulders with all this hate. Like, she was talking from, like, Michael Jackson's perspective. As far as being the enemy.

[C]

Is this something we have to talk about no more?

[B]

We don't have to talk about this. I mean, it is fucked. This AI to shit for sure. I just laughed that the AI artist started her dis off with. You went to the media first. Is that supposed to go my hard drive? You're not a person. You talk like a heartbroken. I cannot believe you went to, like, Kehlani and fucking party next door. Like, that's how she was taught. How could you go to the media for.

[C]

You don't exist. Yeah, but you said that somebody wrote it though, right? Somebody actually wrote these lyrics, I guess.

[B]

Which is still because of AI voice.

[C]

But either way, I'm just never like, this AI shit is stupid to me. Like AI artists, like, I don't even know how to even begin with that.

[B]

You don't have a real name, but that.

[A]

I mean, one of my friends hit me because I've told her about, you know, the dangers of AI and things like that. And she listens to this podcast, but she was like, yo, I'm not gonna lie, I came across an R and B album on TikTok. And I went in like, well, R and B song on TikTok, she said, I went and listened to the rest of the ALB album. She was like, damaris, that is one of the best albums I ever heard. And then I come to find out.

[B]

That it's AI, then I'm not gonna like it. The moment I find out it's a. I'm not gonna like it. My ears are gonna hear different. I'm gonna hate it.

[A]

I agree.

[C]

But how do you not know it's.

[A]

AI the rest of the world? Because a lot of these AI artists don't sound like AI artists. They don't.

[B]

And a lot of real artists, I just themselves up so much that it's hard to tell what's what I about say.

[C]

I just feel like I can tell at this point, like when I'm listening to music, I. I know a real artist versus some computer generated shit that I'm listening to.

[B]

Nobody tells you how many random little charges hit you every week. One minute you're grabbing coffee, next thing you know it's a delivery fee, a parking ticket, and somehow you bought a plant that you don't even like.

[C]

Exactly. Life doesn't come with a budget app built in, but the Klarna card kind of feels like it should have.

Okay, what happens when the who's going to be the first AI artist to denounce the streets. Like, which AI artist is going to put the flag down and get out the gang? Who's. Who's going to denounce the Crips?

[C]

Are there AI artists in the streets, though?

[B]

I'm sure coming from the streets.

[C]

Yeah. I don't know.

[B]

They're committing AI, like, sins type murder on Fortnite.

[C]

How do you feel about that, though? Fuck the streets. 21 Savage, give full context. Well, 21 Savage, he did a. He had posted some tweets.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Calling for everybody, specifically in Atlanta that was beefing, that wasn't really friends and fell out. Calling for everybody to make amends, to get back together, you know, bury the hatchet, you know, all of that type of thing. You know, brotherly love. The things that we champion. We champion people, you know, putting their differences as. And coming together for the better good of the culture, I guess. But in some of his tweets, it was. The message was fuck the streets.

[B]

Well, Steve, some of them had nothing to do with the streets. More so like Offset Quavo, you guys should just, you know, be friends again. But then you got into the gunna thug thing, got into the. The P thing. P from qc.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

That did feel like, yes, goalposts should be moved and we should say fuck the street.

[A]

Streets.

[B]

That is how it came across.

[C]

So he never actually said fuck the streets. I feel like. He said. I feel like.

[B]

Oh, it eventually got there. Okay.

[C]

Yeah, like, it got to that, right? Yeah, like, fuck the street. So now, you know, I understand what 21 was doing as far as, like, you know, wanting people from the city that were actually friends and brothers at one point to bury their differences and, you know, come back together and things like that. But I just think the wording was wrong, right? The wording. Fuck the streets. You can't say fuck the streets because the streets are what gave you and awarded you everything you have right now.

[B]

And again, I'm asking as a civilian, is someone allowed to even dictate the rules that have been set there well before they were even born?

[C]

No. No.

[B]

I didn't know somebody could change the rules.

[C]

No, you can't say fuck the streets. And here's. Okay.

[B]

No, a lot of people say, shit, I'll even put a name on it. Troy Ave was one of those people that said all the street shit. And then it's. It's the streets when you get caught, when the streets don't work out for you anymore. Now it's the streets. It was all this. This this talk before, but once you get caught now, it's fuck the streets. If you never got caught, it'd still be the same shit. Right?

[C]

Right. For some.

[B]

A lot of people that do cooperate, you cooperated because you got caught and didn't want to go to jail. And now you're saying it's like, nah, I don't like that lifestyle. It's detrimental to the community. Yeah. While you're right, you'd still be doing it if you didn't get caught. Don't act like this moral high ground that now you have, you're above this and it's wrong. No, it's wrong because you got caught.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That's all it is.

[C]

Well, but that's what I was reading.

[B]

And I'm not saying that's what 21 is saying in this, but I've seen a lot of people start saying fuck the streets after they got caught. It's a very convenient time.

[C]

Very convenient.

[B]

Some people really want to change their lives.

[C]

Yeah, some people.

[B]

Some people really do believe, hey, this is really ruining our community. And they would have a. A pretty good case about how it can. But you don't really care. You just got caught.

[C]

Yeah. You can't. You can't scream fuck the streets, and still be in the streets. If it's gonna be the streets, y' all niggas can't hang out at strip clubs no more.

[A]

That's not true.

[B]

That's not true.

[C]

That's not true.

[B]

And again, I don't know. I'm not speaking as someone that knows anything about strip club.

[C]

Is the streets what y' all think the strip clubs is? The fucking library at Columbia?

[A]

No, that's the streets.

[C]

You know what goes on in the strip club.

[B]

There's street people at the strip club.

[A]

Yes. There's street people.

[B]

There's also civilians like me and Damaris that go there and have a good time at home.

[A]

And we go more often than regular people like that.

[C]

Don't.

[B]

That's.

[C]

Y' all are not saying fuck the streets.

[B]

I'm not in the streets.

[C]

Are you saying fuck the streets?

[B]

No, I'm not in the streets.

[C]

Have you ever said fuck the streets?

[B]

No.

[C]

So you can go to the strip club if you gonna say fuck the streets. You can't be hanging out in the strip club doing that. You can't do that. Not if you screaming the streets. The strip clubs is part of the streets. I don't know if y' all know that or not.

[B]

No, I think the street people in.

[A]

Street people, like the strip Clubs.

[B]

But the strip clubs don't have nothing to do with that.

[C]

You said the strip club had nothing to do with the streets.

[A]

No, what I'm saying is the strip club is not.

[C]

If it wasn't for the streets, the strip clubs wouldn't be a thing. Who you think is spending money in the strip clubs?

[B]

You can say that about a lot of streets.

[C]

On the street clubs.

[B]

If you say fuck the streets, can you buy weed?

[A]

That's also not true. There's plenty of strip. There's plenty of strip clubs that a street nigga wouldn't even walk in into.

[B]

People have been going, different thing. Can I go right on.

[C]

Red gentleman's club. You got to tuck your shirt in when you go in those places. That's different.

[B]

You're not talking about hustlers on the west side Hub.

[C]

No, you can go there.

[B]

That's controlled by the streets on an Italian side, allegedly. So, like, that's still.

[C]

Yeah, but they not screaming the streets.

[B]

Though, until they get a YouTube show after they rat.

[C]

That's different. You cannot scream the streets and still be hanging out in the streets. You cannot do it. You can't be rapping about the streets.

[B]

You can't be that. I agree with.

[C]

You can't be hanging out on the old streets on the block. You can't go and give out turkeys once a year.

[A]

Oh, that's corny. No, that's. That's something.

[C]

It is corny. To give out turkeys once a year. I agree with you. That's very corny.

[A]

No, I don't know. Let me clarify what I'm saying. You can still give back to your community and go and visit your community when you know what if it's fuck the streets, you know what these people are saying? When it's. When they're saying fuck the streets, you know what they're saying.

[C]

So it's not fuck the streets. It's fuck the street codes. Fuck the street ideologies. When you say fuck the streets, that's saying, fuck those blocks, fuck those avenues, Fuck those corners where y' all getting money. Fuck all of that. Fuck the people that are still out there doing what they're doing. All right? So then you can't come here no more because you know what they still out there doing? So you can't come here and try to mingle and pick and choose when you want to be in the streets. Because all that giving back shit, that's just for public image. So you can't want to get your public image and make it Seem like you giving back to the streets. Streets. When it's the streets.

[A]

How is that just for. I'm sure some people do public image, but some people actually give a name.

[C]

About where their public image. Why are we sitting there acting like it's not?

[B]

But let's not act like you're giving some rappers that.

[C]

We would never give frozen Turkish to niggas that ain't got nowhere to go. Cook it. What are we talking about here? That shit is for a look. That's a tax write off. That shit is a look. We not gonna sit here and play these games. And that's my point. You can't play both sides of this. It can't be Fuck the Streets. But then I hope the streets. I want the streets to still fuck with me. I want to go back and give back to the hood because I want the hood to say, yeah, nah, he came through and gave us turkeys and all that.

[B]

So you're saying people can what, People can retire from the streets, I. E, let's use some of our favorite rappers. Let's go with a Jay and a Nas. Both people rap about the streets, but have clearly retired from that. Like, they're not in the streets. Right.

[C]

So you're saying Jay would never say fuck the streets.

[B]

He did say Streets is done. Done because of what y' all killed. Who was it and not Zimmerman? Streets is done.

[C]

Y' all killed X. X.

[B]

That's what it was.

[C]

And let Zimmerman live.

[B]

Streets. He's not saying the Streets. But I. I know he ain't saying.

[C]

For Nas ain't saying the streets.

[B]

No, he's not.

[C]

Yeah, they just. Just ain't doing what they was doing in the streets before.

[B]

I know. I just wanted to be clear with your point for our. Listen.

[C]

Yeah, no, I'm being very clear because.

[B]

There'S plenty of people that are in the streets that rap about. Yeah, but.

[C]

Yeah, but you can't. You can't say the streets and still try to benefit off of street culture. You can't. That can't happen. It can't be fucked the Streets because, yo, your man was a rat. We knew he was a rat and we still fucked with him. And then now y' all caught another case and y' all fell out and y' all not friends no more. Yo, fuck the Streets. What? That ain't how that go. That don't go like that. If it's Fuck the Streets. All right, cool. It's fuck the Streets. Now, I think what. I think what they meant to say was, yo, we Gotta move past those ideologies. We gotta move past that energy. We gotta move past, like, you know, that type of shit now. I agree with that. At a certain point, you should be trying to elevate and get past that lifestyle. That's what this is about. This is about elevating and getting better and becoming a better person. But when you say fuck the Streets, you gotta remember the Streets gave you everything that you have.

[B]

Okay, but do you think for the.

[A]

Streets did not give him what he has? Who he did not. You can make it out of the Streets, which is something that's going on. The Streets.

[C]

They give you what they have.

[A]

The Streets don't give you anything. He didn't get his career from the Streets. He created his career because he's a creator. He might have drawn inspiration from his life that he had, but we not about to sit up here and act like the Streets is like the winning code to becoming a fucking successful or having money and having a family. That's some shit you gotta fight through.

[C]

You talking about rappers?

[A]

Yes. That's something you have to. You still have to fight through.

[C]

You have to survive in the Streets before they fuck with you anywhere else.

[A]

Yes, they have.

[C]

You ain't gonna find none of these niggas that's gonna just got successful overnight. And the Streets didn't fuck with them, and the Streets didn't support them. You go to all of their shows, who's still in the building?

[A]

Okay, so you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, so let me clarify. Obviously, the Streets have to fuck with you, but the Streets did not give him anything.

[C]

You crazy as hell.

[A]

You sound insane. You sound insane.

[C]

No, you sound insane. You cannot say the Streets didn't give these rappers nothing. What are you talking about?

[A]

What are you saying?

[C]

Give.

[A]

They earned.

[C]

They gave them money. They gave them love. They gave them support. They pulled up on, they told the rest of the world, these is them niggas.

[A]

When N is saying fuck the Streets, you're taking it as if he's saying fuck the people in the Streets and not fuck. You literally know that. He's talking about fuck these codes, Fuck this bullshit. Fuck all this shit that niggas beyond.

[C]

That's what I just said. No, I said you can't say fuck the Streets and still try to benefit and eat off of the Streets.

[A]

But that's what I'm making it seem like. He's saying fuck if it's fuck the Streets in the Streets. He's not saying fuck the people in the Streets.

[C]

I'm not saying. He's saying fuck the people in the streets.

[A]

So when you're saying the streets gave him everything that he gave, the streets supported him. The people from the streets supported him. That's this difference. It's a completely different thing.

[C]

Well, you can't have the streets without the people, Baby D, will the avenue still be there? Yes. If there's nobody lives on that street, the street will still be there. The people are what make it the streets. The energy, the culture is what make it the streets.

[A]

No, but the streets that he's talking about, the people, is not what makes it the streets. Shit that has been happening to us for years, and I hate to go super woke, but the type of shit that we've been fighting through and the type of shit that we've been fighting through is the reason why streets and ghettos exist. Are you seeing, Are you understanding where I'm coming from? The reason that we're in these predicaments and there's so much poverty and there's so much violence is shit that has been happening for years. So when niggas are saying fuck the streets, it's talking about the results of that. Black people in our culture is not the streets. Black people in our culture, we'll persevere through anything but the streets and the things that come from the streets because of what we've been put in between. Redlining, slavery, all types of shit.

[C]

That's what comes with it, as simple as this. The streets mean that mindset, that fuck that mindset that we've been taught from so young. So if you can understand, let's grow past that mindset. So that's what I'm saying. I understand what he's saying. I just think the wording was wrong. I just think the wording was wrong. That's all. Because I get it. Yeah, like that mindset. I tell you all the time, Rory, like growing up. I grew up in the middle of the hood that lived in my building. Some of the niggas doing triple life, never coming. Some of these niggas is CEOs of companies. Great. We all from the same block, same area. We all had the same obstacles we had to jump over and get around. We all had the same dangers that we faced. Just getting up and going to school and coming home from school, going to the store. So we understand it, but it starts in the home. What's the mindset? What are you being taught? What are you being fed? Do you have discernment? Are you a leader? Are you a follower? Are you gonna follow your crew down this wrong path when you know they gonna do dumb shit? When in your household, you know, you being taught that that's wrong? So you gotta. Yes, we're from the streets. We from that. We know what it's about. But now, do I choose to be a part of that? Do I choose to adapt that ideology and that street mentality? That's the difference. So when it's. Fuck the streets, it's no, fuck that mentality. Fuck that street mentality. You know what I'm saying? Like. Cause I get it. I understand what you saying. Fuck that street mentality. If you gonna get into the streets and be doing street shit, and then, like you said, you get caught, you can't screen. Fuck the streets at that point. Well, 21.

[A]

Has 21 Savage been caught doing anything?

[C]

No, no, no, no, no, no. He's saying. He said, Again, 21 is receiving flak, but it's more so, like. So what he said, he reached out. He said, y' all niggas fix that shit. Y' all love each other. Nigga, you knew Gunnar wasn't no gangster when he told the first time. And we swept it under the rug for you. You know, he wasn't trying to leave you to hang. Nigga, fuck the streets. We ain't get shit but trauma from that shit. So I get it. The Streets. You done lost friends to the streets. You done lost family members to the Streets. You done lost, you know, all kind of things. But at the same time, Streets supported you. You know what I'm saying? Streets told the world you was hot, you was dope, when nobody else knew who you were. Streets bought your mixtape. Streets showed up to your first show at the local club, at the local strip club. Like, the streets supported you. The Streets gave you that beginning. The Streets gave you that story. The Streets gave you that, you know, the aura. But now that we're all successful and we have money and things like that, we need to come out of that mentality and do something else. And I think that's the message. Like, we can't stay in that mentality. We can't stay in, quote, unquote, survival mode because we not trying to survive no more. We've all been able to create a better life for ourselves. We all live in nice homes, we drive nice cars, we travel the world. So, yeah, let's get away from that mentality. Let's move out of that. Fuck that mentality that we've been taught. Let's elevate, let's grow. But at the same time, you gotta be careful with saying fuck the streets. Because again, you're gonna get people that are still there, that's still of that. That's gonna look at you like, yo, what you mean? Because had it not been for that, your whole Persona is not even a thing no more.

[B]

And I think where some people got offended by it is because to Moles Point, you got everything from the street streets put you on. You can't now move the goalpost and change the rules when it's convenient to you, because that's offensive to the people that are in the streets living by those rules, right? Like they're still there living by those rules. And now you're saying we're allowed to move the goalpost to get ahead. But to me, I see both sides of that. Cuz to his tweet to Pete, Pete did more for Atlanta than any politician anyone could fucking do. P is a legend in that city and has made multi, multi, multi millionaires out of so many fucking people. Is there some street shit in there that I don't know about? Some Atlanta politics that I wouldn't even comment on? Sure. So I think some people are like, wait, now we can move the go posts? I didn't know we were allowed to do that.

[C]

Right, so.

[B]

And again, this is me outside looking at. From the tweets and seeing people's reactions to. It's like, nah, y' all are right. We should not have to go by that code because it's better for everyone as a community and our families. But it's like, nah, now we're doing that. You can't, but you can't. There's people sitting down that are probably from. From a lot of their circles that are doing football numbers that are going like, wait, we was. A lot. We can say fuck the streets now and not all.

[C]

No, you always.

[A]

No, but this is the thing.

[B]

Sitting down, you always. 20 years, but that's.

[A]

You always. But this is the thing you always could. But it takes a lot of courage.

[B]

And it takes a lot of strength.

[A]

And it takes a lot of support from people that you. That you have in your corner to be able to say fuck the streets. So, yeah, I'm championing this shit because at the end of the day, I. I think it's nice for these people that these kids that are coming up and making their decisions, whether they're going to go left or whether they're going to go right, to look and see their favorite rappers who have been upholding this street shit for so long to say, yo, this actually did nothing but us. If I could have did it differently, I'll fucking.

[C]

You know what? I liken this to Baby D. I liken this to Black lives matter. Let me land it. When they were saying black lives matter, right? I said, I agree.

[B]

Josh, just.

[C]

No, hold on, hold on. I said, I agree. Black lives do matter, right? But I also move like black lives matter. I don't disrespect people that look like me. I don't hurt people that look like me. I don't bring harm and things like that to people that look like me. Right, right. The slogan. Yes. So fuck the streets. Cool. Growing up in the streets, guess what? I went to private school. I wore a uniform every day. I got joked on on my block. My niggas was on the corner doing what they was doing. You know, I'm outside with a shirt and tie, some slacks on, getting laughed at. But that's because I didn't want to be a part of that. Yeah, my family wasn't having it. My moms wasn't having that. Nigga, you not about to be here in the streets doing what you want to do, making those decisions. You're not doing that. I didn't scream, fuck the streets, though. I just moved like, fuck the streets. I'm not a part of that. I'm not doing that. Now to what 21 is saying his tweet is a little crazy because he's saying, you knew Gunna wasn't no gangster, and we knew that he did bad the first time, and we forgave him. We looked past it. So my thing is like, okay, so then why lied to us then? Why y' all lied to the streets and made it seem like he didn't do bad and he didn't do that. If y' all all knew that and still try to portray it like it was, you know, it was gang, gang, and it was holding it down and we the realest and all of that. But then you saying, we knew he wasn't no gangster. So then why. Why portray that? To eat off of that. To eat off of that aura. To eat off of that street energy. If you knew he wasn't of that. And now that y' all are not speaking because it's public now, we seen Gunna do bad and turn on gang ganging them. We saw it.

[B]

You can't.

[C]

It's no hiding it no more. We actually saw it. So now that y' all not friends, it's, yo, fuck the streets. It's like, yeah, but you can't do it like that, Gunna. I'm not mad. This nigga running 5Ks in Central Park. This nigga done went completely gunna. Ain't even say, fuck the streets. He just started moving like, fuck the streets.

[B]

He just started jogging.

[C]

I'm getting healthy. I'm drinking green juices every morning. You know what I'm saying? I'm getting facials. I'm doing all of the things that say, I'm not a part of that anymore. But he's still not gonna say fuck the streets. Because again, the streets gave him his start. It gave him his aura. It gave him his beginning. That's his origin, the streets. Now, if you saying, I don't choose that lifestyle no more, I don't want to be a part of that. I don't want that energy. Listen, I salute that. I champion that.

[B]

Different versions of fucking streets. Your brother and Jay said, the streets. We want to go be businessmen.

[C]

They're not want to go be businessmen, but they never said, yo, the streets. Streets is done. Streets is a myth, this, that, and the third, because you go through things, you realize, wait, I'm the only holding it down. I'm the only one that's abiding by the rules. Y' all told me from the a little kid was in place, I can't do this. Don't tell on your friends. Don't do the dude. And then you become old and you go through these situations and you realize, shit, almost everybody telling everybody is not going by these rules. So why am I going by these rules? Which I think is what Thug21 was really saying. Like, them rules is. That's bullshit. Niggas don't even abide by that.

[B]

Nobody lives by that anymore type.

[C]

Yeah, that's what I really think 21 was saying. Like, yo, you know n doing. Because we looked past it, we knew he wasn't no gangster.

[B]

We already wasn't living by that.

[C]

We already wasn't living by that. And that's my point. It's like, okay, but say y' all was doing it. Cause you know who ma know? I know niggas that stand on that street shit. I know niggas that really is in the streets for real. And they abiding by all codes. We ain't telling shit. We all take 25 to life before we tell on each other. I know people that's really doing that. They not saying, fuck the streets because they really in the streets. They really doing that. When you doing this double dipping thing, when you just want the aura and you want the. The dope boy shit on the kid and all that. The whips, the jewelry and the girls and all that. When you want all of that, it's cool. But when it's time to go sit down and do 15, and you don't want to do that, it's fuck the street. That's where the lines get blurred.

[B]

I think to Damaris, because I agree with everything you said to Damaris. Point off 21Savages tweet 2p. Look at the benefit when we did. Look the other way in the overall long term. If you're looking at the bigger circle and perspective here, what Damaris is saying is like, yeah, look, those rules have gotten everyone fucked up. Look what happens when you do say fuck that code. You do turn the other way. Now you have 10 multi millionaires that are supporting their families. Yeah. Based off some rules that no one else is even playing by.

[C]

Right.

[B]

No one's playing by it. So, yeah, we should turn our back. Because then we also get Gunna, who I'm sure has supported hundreds and hundreds of people in Atlanta financially.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Gave people jobs. So I see. I really see what Damaris is saying. And 21 did go on to say, I'm supposed to say, save the streets. We have to save the streets. We gotta get all the bullshit, all the crazy, killer shit out out there and put love in the Hustleback industry.

[C]

I mean, listen, I fuck with 21, that's cool. But we also know that's a result of backlash from saying fuck the streets. Right. But I understand. When I first heard him say that, I'm like, okay, I know what he mean. He gonna get killed for saying fuck the streets. Yeah, I know what he meant, though.

[A]

It's so crazy, the shit. Black people kill each other for saying, like, look, look what you. Look what you. At the end of the day, it does need to be fuck the streets because y' all not getting shit out of it. You know what I'm saying? Like he said, put the love and the hustle in.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Cause sometimes you gotta hustle to get where you gotta go. And there's violence that comes with it and things like that. But all this gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang shit, being loyal to each other but killing people that look like you. All that shit, it does need to end. And I don't give a fuck how long it's been going on, Baby D.

[C]

But here's the crazier part. There's so many people that don't ever be a part of the shit. That are very successful from the same neighborhoods.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

So all of this shit is like, I get it. Save the streets, right? Cool. I'm for that. Save the streets. Save the kids that's in the street, the families that are struggling. We need to support each other. I'm with all of that. But from the beginning of time, when it was streets and it was street culture and all that, there was people in them same neighborhoods that didn't have nothing to do with that. That was getting up, going to school, getting up, going to work every morning, getting up, trying to, you know, whatever they had to do together without getting involved in hustling and, you know, all of that shit. They didn't. They didn't do none of that.

[A]

Yeah, but some people got it. First of all, we know why. First, going back to why the. The streets even exist. Some people got to do what they got to do to provide for their family. Some niggas is going homeless.

[C]

Everybody got to do what they got to do to provide for their family.

[A]

Some people, you don't have parents in the home, making sure they eat, making sure they go to sleep, making sure they go to school. Some people got to do what the fuck they got to do. Which is fine. Right? That is what it is. But with rap, it's become a thing where they're glorifying that life. This is not glorifying.

[B]

Trying to get yourself out of poverty.

[A]

Should not be glorifying.

[C]

Now you're going into a whole nother part of the conversation and discussion. All right, now, that's a whole different. That's a whole different tier we talking about. When we start talking about hip hop culture and what it glorifies and what it magnifies and things like that. That's a whole nother discussion. Because if we gonna say, fuck the streets, it's like, all right, now, hip hop culture is of the streets. Hip hop is of the streets. It started in a park, two turntables in the speaker.

[A]

Yeah, but that.

[C]

But it was the voice of the people in the ghetto about party.

[A]

And it originally started about partying and dancing. It was not about violence and guns and drugs.

[C]

No, it was always violence in it. Cause we in the ghetto, we in the. That's what. Violence was always a part of society. But we didn't glorify that.

[B]

And also, who do you think was funding all that?

[C]

Oh, yeah, that's what I said. It's a whole. How much time we got, Pete? Cause it's a whole nother. It's a whole nother conversation.

[B]

Funding all of that.

[C]

It's a whole nother group.

[B]

It was a universal music group, I'll tell you that.

[C]

So I love it. But at the same time, if it's listening, listened. If it's fuck the streets, niggas. 069ine an apology.

[A]

069Ine made a comment.

[C]

Niggas owe Charleston White a lot of apologies. If we hear. If we hear. If we the Streets. Cause this is all Charleston White be talking about. When he got on there and was like, fuck Nipsey and all that, Niggas like, whoa. He bugging. He like, yeah, but what's the difference? When you niggas are saying, we smoking on that Tuka pack right in front of his mother, you just killed her son. And y' all saying, yeah, we smoking. What's the difference if I say, fuck Nipsey? And y' all over here screaming, yo, we smoking that Tuka pack. It ain't no black. If it's gonna be Fuck the Streets. If it's gonna be Saved the Streets, then let it be Saved the Streets. But we can't dib and dab when it's time for album time and we back in the hood and we back looking for the support of the people. If it's Fuck the Streets, we can't be on our albums and these songs talking about, you know, 17 five and this, that, and the third, and we can't. If it's Fuck the Streets, don't glorify none of the street shit. Don't use that street shit to get your aura and all. Don't do none of that. If it's gonna be Fuck the Streets, you niggas better start sounding like Will Smith. You niggas better be in your rap sounding like Chance the Rapper. That's all I'm saying. Cause there's a lot of successful people out here that's not rapping the street shit. That's not doing that. You know what I'm saying? They got some success, made a lot of money.

[B]

J. Cole.

[C]

J. Cole.

[B]

I mean, Kendrick. Kendrick, to a degree. Drake. I mean, the Big Three is not street rappers.

[C]

We can name a few very successful. I don't know if all of y' all are as talented to do that. But I'm just saying, if it's gonna be Fuck the Streets and Save the Streets, which I agree with Save the Streets, I'm down with it. I'm with that. But at the same time, when it's time to sell us something and it's time to do that, I Don't wanna see none of y'.

[A]

All.

[C]

That was saying that jumping back on the block and taking kissing babies and turkeys and candy. Nah, I don't wanna see none of that. Cause all of that is for public shit. Don't bring. If you gonna give out turkey, don't bring no cameras.

[B]

I hear you.

[C]

If you gonna give back and build a community, don't bring no cameras. Just do it. Cause there's a lot of people that give back to the hood and the communities, and you will never hear about it.

[B]

Facts.

[C]

So let's not do it for show. If we gonna do it, let's just do it. That's all I'm saying. So I'm with Save the streets. I echo that, 21. Let's save the streets. Let's teach these kids another way. Let's stop putting this bullshit rhetoric in their head and making them feel like this is what you gotta do to be successful. Cause there's so many other ways. Let's start teaching these. Who the next one to build was it Nvidia. Teach one of these little niggas how to make the next. What is it, Peach? The next Nvidia box. Teach one of these little niggas how to do that. Let's make that cool.

[B]

I want to you.

[C]

Let's teach the next. Next little kid in the projects how to make the next Tesla. Yeah, let's make that cool.

[B]

I mean, that's what Nipsey was actually trying to do.

[C]

So I'm with that. You know what I'm saying? But the streets. Save the streets. Cool. But you can't use the streets when it's convenient. That's all. That's my point. Sorry, baby D. I ain't mean. Cause I know you got a headache and you hung over. I ain't mean to even get your blood pressure.

[B]

No, it woke her up.

[C]

Yeah, but that's what she needed.

[B]

That was her Advil and water.

[C]

Her blood pressure is what I'm saying. I don't want her blood pressure to rise. Sorry about that, baby.

[B]

Oh, that would be the tequila and champagne. That's crazy.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

All right, well, this will be a. A perfect point to maybe put a better help ad or something. We need to check on the greatest quarterback of all times, Mental health, Drake May. Oh, no. He's bowling, though. Patriots look really. Patriots look great. No, we have to check on. On the goat man. We were looking at him for seven rings, but what happens to our strong friend? He checked on us.

[C]

He checked on the strong friend yeah.

[B]

We gotta make sure that the goat is doing okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Gisele, the lovely Giselle, who was Tom Brady's ex wife, got married this week, which Tom Brady posted on his IG story. A half selfie just showing the chin in a hoodie saying, forever young. And out of all the songs, he could appear Forever Young as a song.

[C]

No, I don't think he. I think that he. I think that was a video he posted.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Oh, it's a screenshot.

[B]

Sorry. Yes. But the song he chose for some reason for that hoodie was the Logic Suicide Helpline song.

[C]

That's what Tommy. He be listening to on his free time. Shout out to Logic. Listen, I know his streams went up this week 100%. I know his stream spiked.

[B]

And then you gotta think that song's old. Like, did the number change? Numbers change all the time.

[C]

Yeah. Is that still on service?

[B]

That's still the numbers service.

[C]

Is it still in service? What's the number? I'm gonna call right now and see if it's still in service.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

I just want to see what, 1, 800?

[B]

Yeah, but. All right, but if this hotline is used the same way, like 911 is, if you call, they answer, and you hang up and they have your location. Like, is a social worker about to come here? You didn't memorize it from the logic hook. You've reached the 988 suicide. Oh, sorry. Still in service. Shout out to Logic and Tom Brady and anyone that is dealing with that, please, please call.

[C]

Call.

[A]

If you are a veteran or service.

[C]

Member or are calling about 1, press 1.

[B]

Don't. Don't press a button, please.

[C]

I was just seeing what the.

[B]

You know, this is why better help won't have you.

[C]

I was just seeing what the options were. Like, that's all good.

[A]

And you also just could just call 988 now.

[C]

Like, that is. Oh, that's it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I must say, because if I'm. If I'm trying to. If I'm thinking about committing suicide and I'm like, I'm not sure. That number would be kind of hard to remember.

[B]

Yeah. Trying to figure out the numbers with the.

[A]

That would be my 13th reason.

[B]

Yeah. I'm not.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Figuring out the letters to the numbers, I'm not doing any day, let alone a suicidal day.

[A]

But.

[B]

With that said, man, we think, is that just a coincidence, Tom? You know, holidays can get rough for people. Maybe Tom was just putting that out there for. For his fans. Like, yo, if you're feeling this way, holidays can be tough for people.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It just so happened to be the same day that his ex wife.

[C]

What a coinky thing. Forever young on the hoodie. You know, logic suicide prevention song playing in the hood.

[B]

Or is he trying to show like, I'm forever? Like, y' all still doing that, like that marriage shit.

[C]

I'm about to stop fucking these hoes. I forever.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean, it's like Tom is calling out for help. I think Tom is happy.

[A]

I don't think Tom is happy at all.

[C]

Shit.

[A]

Why else would you put that song? Why would you put that song?

[C]

Cracking jokes, just being funny.

[B]

That's a wild joke as Tom Brady just being funny.

[C]

I mean, I don't know Tom personally, but listen, he seems like he has a cool person. You know what I mean? He might be just having fun with it. Like, I know everybody thinks that I'm so upset today cause my ex wife got married again and my world must be upside down. Oh, I'm thinking about committing suicide. What am I gonna do? Am I gonna kill myself? Like. And I could see Tom just leaning into that.

[B]

I also don't feel like Tom cares that much. Cause he. Instead of saving his marriage, he literally went back to the Tampa Bay bucks to go 8 and 9. Like, if y' all think Tom Brady. It was time to retire and he went back just to go 8 and 9.

[A]

If y' all think Tom Brady don't miss his family.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no.

[B]

He sees his kids.

[C]

He's with his kids all the time.

[B]

Literally all the time.

[A]

Not his kids, his family.

[C]

He don't miss. He probably don't miss being married to Giselle. They probably still cool, him and Giselle. Like, it happens that way. We. We're not married no more. We have a family, have kids. Our kids are probably, you know, they. They don't. I don't think they have little kids. They're probably kids are probably at least all in high school. Maybe at least they're not babies. Yeah. Like, I don't. I think Thomas. This is his second. His second win. He's retired now he's doing sideline work for Fox. Is it Fox He's a part of. They gave him a crazy bag to do that. I don't think Tom Brady is. I think Gisele is happy. I think Tom is happy. The family is taken care of. Everybody's good. This is just for people like us who want to sit back and speculate and just think that Tom Brady is emotionally distraught that his ex wife is now married.

[A]

I don't think you do this when you're cool with your ex wife? Because all this did was draw attention to you.

[C]

When it's not about you, it's gonna always. Her getting married again.

[B]

He could post taking a shit in it. Like everyone's still gonna pay attention.

[C]

The fact that she got married again is gonna bring attention to Giselle?

[B]

We're not talking about like, just some random chick.

[A]

Okay, but. Okay. Yes, but this is. Would we have been talking about Gisele getting married if he didn't post this shit?

[B]

Or is this the classic sucker shit when guys say, I'll kill myself if you leave it me? Is he trying to get that line off?

[C]

No, cuz she left already. She just married again.

[B]

Nah, but you went to. There's still hope if you don't go to the altar. Yeah, if now it's legally like, if you not like.

[C]

I know. It's more hope after she leave the altar, she got what she want and she can still come and get. You know what I mean? She still want to come see me on the weekend? She can still come see me too.

[B]

Oh, please. That's her ex.

[C]

That's Tom. That's Tom Brady. They didn't see. That's what y'. All.

[A]

That's Jelle. Hold up. Hey, man. Well, we. We not doing that, bro. We're not doing that.

[B]

Giselle ain't some out of any woman that would be next to her.

[C]

I love when Demaris. She thinks she's saying something. I love when she do this. Do you think it's easier for Gisele to find another Tom Brady or for Tom Brady to find another Gisele?

[B]

Oh, this is foggy.

[A]

You think that he's the most like.

[C]

Do you think it's easier for Gisele to find another Tom Brady? The supermodel?

[A]

The supermodel. Giselle, the supermodel.

[C]

You don't think Tom Brady could go get another supermodel today?

[A]

You think she could have went and got another football player?

[C]

There ain't another Tom Brady. What are you talking about? About who is the other Tom Brady? Okay, this one Top Gun Brady.

[A]

What did that mean? Okay, and this is y' all thing, because the things y' all admire about men that like the same thing she.

[C]

Admired about the when she got married.

[A]

To the things that get men.

[C]

The same thing she admired.

[A]

And you can still be a shitty husband.

[C]

I'm not saying you can't be a shitty husband. There's only so much money in the world. It's easier for Tom Brady to Find another supermodel wife? Or is it easy for Gisele to find another most winning fucking NFL player, greatest quarterback of all time?

[B]

I think if you go to 10 Super Bowls, you're allowed to be a shitty husband for a few years.

[C]

What does that do for her?

[A]

What does that do for her? Other than the money, what does that do? Okay, you're the greatest quarterback or whatever the fuck he is of all time. What does that do for her?

[B]

He's a great quarterback.

[A]

What does it do?

[C]

I mean, I don't know. I don't know what their relationship was like. I don't know what their issues were.

[A]

Him being amazing at his job outside of the money.

[B]

That's all we know about these people is their professions.

[C]

She's a supermodel, one of the greatest models. She could have been a shitty wife.

[A]

That's fine. That's also possible, too.

[C]

Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. But I'm saying, is it easier to find another Tom. No, no, no, no.

[B]

Does that have to do it anymore?

[C]

Is it easier to find another supermodel of a wife or another one of the greatest. One of the greatest football players of all time, which is easier to find?

[A]

All supermodels aren't created equal. All supermodels aren't. Gisele, respectfully.

[C]

And all. All quarterbacks ain't Tom Brady. Okay, there you go.

[A]

But their jobs have nothing to do with.

[C]

With shit.

[A]

Okay?

[C]

You want to know why them lawyers were sitting at that. That divorce table for so long? Their lives have a lot to do with it. Their income has a lot to do with it.

[B]

Let's put it to chance as a draft. Are you. Do you have a higher chance of drafting Tom Brady? A Tom Brady or drafting a Giselle?

[C]

Giselle. I live in Manhattan. I grew up in New York. It's beautiful women right now. If I go out there, if I go to grand street right now and stand on the corner for 10 minutes, I'mma see four women that look better than Jazelle. Guess what I won't see walk past me a. That could throw the football like Tom.

[B]

Brad, I can go to every NFL stadium right now, and I couldn't find.

[C]

Combine where they've collected the best football players in the nation and won't find a like Tom Br. Where they collected where scout. Professional scouts have scoured the lands of America and looked for the next great one, and none of them will look like Tom Brady.

[B]

But. Okay, let me get some pushback. She is like the Tom Brady of Her profession.

[C]

No, she ain't.

[B]

It's funny that you have. You have to say the Tom Brady of her profession, which just gives more credit to Tom Brady. When Tom Brady was, you know, beating the rams for the first time, they weren't like, he's kind of like the Giselle of that.

[C]

That's what I'm saying. That baby did, like, I get it, you know what I'm saying?

[B]

But just like Zell is a goat in her own.

[C]

Just like Tom Brady.

[B]

That's one of the craziest couples of all time.

[C]

No, for sure. Just like, Tom Brady could have been a terrible wife.

[B]

Jay Z, Beyonce, shit.

[C]

Like, that's Elle could have been a terrible wife. I don't know why they split. Like, I have no idea. I think it says a lot that, you know, she married the trainer that Tom hired for. If we want to go to personality.

[B]

Traits, it happened to Puff and. And Tom.

[C]

There we go. I mean, we just, you know, it is what it is.

[B]

If, if. If your ex wife was getting married and everything was cool, whatever, of course your kids are going to be there, but you're not going. Would you be texting in your. Your kids group chat like, yeah, what the spread look like? Would you be.

[C]

I'd be trolling the whole time if what?

[B]

If my ex wife was getting married, Everything cool. Like, everything's cool. But of course your kids are gonna go to their mother's wedding. You're not going. I'm texting that group chat all day. Like, nah, let me see. Let me see what color scheme they want.

[C]

Nah, you can't.

[B]

You can't.

[C]

You can't be that dead bothered.

[B]

Bothered. No, but I'm saying, like, not in a serious. Like, everything's cool. You to have happy for your ex wife. Like, I'm. I'd be joking.

[C]

That's like, yeah, but that's like when somebody say something in the group chat, you know they serious and they end it with lol. Like, you ain't laughing. Like, don't. Don't text your kids all day. Like, yo, what it's looking like while they at their mom's new wedding. Like, no, you can't do that.

[B]

Oh, crab cakes. Me and your mom had steak.

[C]

Yeah, no, you can't do that. You can't do that. That's that lady.

[B]

Only a chicken and fish option. You should have seen. You should have seen me in your mom's wedding.

[C]

You should have seen our spread. Took them three days to clean that table.

[B]

Yeah, y' all are so annoying.

[C]

All right. Rory. Now, before we get out of here, I am gonna say this, and this is just because it's Christmas times, Christmas week, Holidays.
