[Joe Budden]

Yup, busy week. That's why I spend my whole week looking for shit to start with any one of my cast members and I happen to find something. So I do have a question for Mel and then we'll get back to the cast. Okay, I read something and I thought it might have been fake.

[Parks]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

This is a quote from you. It says, okay, and I quote, I saw something on Instagram that I wanted to read today. It says, marriage is the lowest paid form of sex work. Women are owed reparations. The people we lay with are the people who are most likely to kill us. Which sounds really dark, but that's the reality we're living in. The reality is women have lost their lives in pursuit of men, end quote. My question to you, is this a real quote?

[Parks]

I didn't say it, I was reading it. It was somebody else's.

[Ish]

You agree with it?

[Parks]

I read it to create conversation.

[Ish]

I'm asking you, do you agree with the quote that you read?

[Parks]

Certain elements of it. Most. There's a significant portion of women are murdered at the hands of their, you know, significant other. That is a statistic that holds water.

[Ish]

The marriage is the lowest form of sex work part.

[Parks]

I've never been married.

[Ish]

You don't have to. I didn't say, does it apply to you? I said, do you agree with it?

[Parks]

I've never been married. I can't speak from that standpoint. So I said that to encourage conversation from people who were married.

[Joe Budden]

To hate on the married people.

[Parks]

No, no. It's just my podcast is to encourage conversation. If I'm having a solo episode, I don't have anybody to bounce this off to. So I'm talking to my. I'm trying to encourage engagement in my comment section so that people wanna come back whether they agree with it or not. I want them to basically say, I completely agree with what she just Read or. I completely do not agree with what she just read, and these are the reasons why. But I'm looking for engagement. Am I not?

[Joe Budden]

Sure I like that Makes sense. I like that you killed that shit.

[Parks]

I got fucking small hands and soft mouth. Okay. I'm doing just my own.

[Joe Budden]

It's. That's. That's what's on my mind right now.

[Queens Flip]

Shout out to you Freeze.

[Melissa Ford]

I can dig it. I had a pretty quiet week remodeling.

[Parks]

Studio Rewire and glad we're gone, huh?

[Melissa Ford]

I mean, I was just anxious to get my back the way I like it.

[Joe Budden]

You shouldn't. We ain't going yet.

[Melissa Ford]

We are struggling.

[Queens Flip]

We not.

[Joe Budden]

We not going. Yeah, just a quick little break.

[Queens Flip]

If we go back, then you queens.

[Joe Budden]

Just a little something to break the monotony. All that hardcore dance has got to be a little out of control.

[Ish]

What about you? How was yours?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, my week, my week, my week. What did I do this week? No, that's not true. That's not true. But I don't want to say what I did.

[Melissa Ford]

Why?

[Joe Budden]

I just don't. It's cool. That's why. I just. I just don't.

[Queens Flip]

You're holding out on us. You're holding out 3 million listeners.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, which is why. That's. Which is why I want to be reserved. I'll tell you one thing. I was running around the city with that new congestion. He couldn't wait.

[Ish]

He couldn't wait to go up there once that hit.

[Joe Budden]

Not to local. Localize this out here. That congestive pricing shit has impacted the city like Covid.

[Ish]

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Because now everybody gonna take the west side and FDR and fdr.

[Joe Budden]

I do feel a little bad about it as I'm enjoying the lack of traffic, but it was scary a little bit.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

I'm talking about 3, 4 and 5 o'clock in New York City. Really?

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

I'm Talking about Madison 5th, the tunnels, smooth 7th Ave.

[Melissa Ford]

The one thing I am worried about is someone who lives in a borough close to the city is motherfuckers coming in. Just parking in Astoria and taking up.

[Parks]

All the spots a thousand percent.

[Melissa Ford]

I hope they do the shit like they did in Jersey City, where you got to prove that you live here to park here.

[Queens Flip]

Yes, yes.

[Melissa Ford]

They need to do that shit.

[Queens Flip]

I'm a nigga that do that. I park right up. Who houses this? I park right there for days.

[Joe Budden]

Your Astoria was going to be so lit when Amazon was going over there. That's a fact. They had big plans over there.

[Melissa Ford]

They did. Still pretty lit.

[Ish]

But your girl AOC says skirt.

[Queens Flip]

Skirt.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

That would have been nice, though.

[Ish]

Yo, that's 5:00.

[Joe Budden]

Yes.

[Parks]

So wait, the congestive pricing doesn't affect the west side highway and fdr?

[Ish]

Okay, so those are kind of like free freeway.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Type of situations. But if you moving through the actual inner streets of the city, what is it between.

[Joe Budden]

8:00Am and 10, 8:00am to 10:00pm.

[Ish]

Oh, so you can move around at.

[Joe Budden]

Night after 10:00pm you can do what you want.

[Ish]

No, that means it's cheaper.

[Parks]

That just means it's cheaper.

[Joe Budden]

Y'all so poor.

[Ish]

It's free or cheap.

[Parks]

It's cheaper. It's not free.

[Ish]

Oh, well, you still got to pay.

[Parks]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know if that's true.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, off peak. Yeah, off peak.

[Parks]

Yes. Yeah, it's 100% of the time.

[Joe Budden]

The $9 turns into 350. Which you broke up. Nah, Nana.

[Ish]

Depending on what you.

[Queens Flip]

So if you drive up and they charge you each time you pass, anytime.

[Parks]

You go into that area, 60th and below, and you leave it and you come back in, you're charged.

[Queens Flip]

Nah. Okay.

[Joe Budden]

Once a day.

[Queens Flip]

Thank you.

[Parks]

Once a day.

[Queens Flip]

Thank you, Paul. I mean, thank you.

[Parks]

Okay. Thank God.

[Joe Budden]

Listen, Mel just be saying the wrong shit.

[Parks]

We're all just figuring it out.

[Queens Flip]

But you're convincing. You convinced me.

[Joe Budden]

I believed you.

[Parks]

I mean, that was what I was told yesterday.

[Ish]

Still, nigga, $9 a day.

[Parks]

A nigga told you that yesterday, not just a person. Yes.

[Ish]

$9 a day for some people you talking about.

[Joe Budden]

No, clearly for most people. Yeah, like that It's. It's a little scary.

[Parks]

It's gonna affect.

[Joe Budden]

A lot of business goes out to anybody that. That is affected by that real quick.

[Queens Flip]

There's some going on. You know what I'm saying? Listen, when I was living in my bubble.

[Ish]

Nah, I'm happy you said that, bro.

[Queens Flip]

Relax.

[Joe Budden]

Cause you think I'm some type of. You think some type of.

[Queens Flip]

What the y'all doing while I'm talking?

[Joe Budden]

I'm tossing to you for the ISO. But I don't want to miss his little snarky yo.

[Ish]

You came on this show and said, I'm so happy. Keep y'all poor asses uptown.

[Joe Budden]

You did.

[Ish]

You said you couldn't wait for that shit to start. You was gonna ride over there just because.

[Joe Budden]

But I underestimated its impact and the size of the community that I was talking to.

[Ish]

So I was saying, I definitely. I'm happy that you. That's dope.

[Joe Budden]

Dumb streets are.

[Ish]

That's crazy at five o'clock. That's crazy.

[Joe Budden]

I was zipping around. I thought I was Batman. I thought my car could fly or some shit up. I do feel bad. It's scary over there. It is. Sorry about that.

[Queens Flip]

No, it's okay. It kind of took the steam out. What I wanted to say, all the steam out. But I'm just saying something is going on, man. Like, it's. I don't know. When I was living in My bubble. Before I came up here, life was just so simple. It was a fucking. Some peanuts, a box of chocolate and cereal. Now stabbers on the train. Fucking congested prices. Like you guys opened me up to society that I didn't want to be opened up to you. Something is going on. I got conspiracy man over here. That's always putting in my brain, I got you. Oh, that's kind of true. Throw your shades on. I don't understand. But I need. I need y'all to put me in whatever club y'all in so I could.

[Joe Budden]

Avoid the group chat.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, please. What the is going on, bro? You're right. Is getting stabbed on a train, set on fire. A lot of like pushed mass stabbings.

[Joe Budden]

They accelerating the. Out of my 40s. I'm just watching news like I'm in my 40s and they bugging like this, Joe. They.

[Queens Flip]

But like it's way more than when we were younger. Back to back stabbings like that in such a short time.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

I mean, no parks for real.

[Ish]

Nah people.

[Melissa Ford]

It's been violence on the trades for a long time.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, but not like this, Paul.

[Ish]

And we not seeing it.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah. I think it's just more accessible.

[Ish]

That's a social media piece. But I think people's mental health, in.

[Joe Budden]

My opinion, that's what we say. Cause we pawns on the chessboard.

[Ish]

Yeah, that's true. I think people's mental health issues.

[Joe Budden]

They put ever many hundreds of millions of dollars into trying to police the subways. So back in the day, if somebody got stabbed, you could try to nag on a cop and they would fix it. Right. Today we've seen people get burned alive and cops walking by.

[Melissa Ford]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

I don't think that that's quite the same.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Also with the. And again, I think there's a lack.

[Melissa Ford]

Of empathy in the world in general, too.

[Joe Budden]

Yes, yes, we'll get to that. With the fires. The fires that they have and out there with what they saying about where some of the funding has been, where what the governor decided to do with certain things that were signed. It's getting. It's deep. It's deep. It's not just State farm cancel the 74, 75,000 policies like this is. It's deeper than whatever the point is.

[Ish]

Surface level, for sure. Yes, I agree. I agree with that.

[Queens Flip]

I'm learning that now.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Yeah. It's scary. It's. But it's a weekend. I don't want to impress anybody.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Hell yeah. Where do we. Where do we begin? The fire. Yeah. We could yeah.

[Ish]

If we're here in the world, we.

[Queens Flip]

Going to the trustee.

[Parks]

I mean, look, I can't. I can't lie and say that. I didn't wanna say fucking thank you to you for, like, giving me the opportunity to move out of la, because I don't know how everybody is coping. It is.

[Joe Budden]

I saved your life.

[Parks]

Okay. Yes. I love you for that. Cause, I mean, just looking at what is happening in LA just doesn't. Doesn't compute. Like, what? Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Yuck it up.

[Queens Flip]

I know you wanna get the fuck up. You gonna get the raise.

[Ish]

That was funny.

[Joe Budden]

You were like, why y'all can't let we do that?

[Queens Flip]

I ain't gonna lie. But her eye got watery. That was a moment. Please clip that up. That was a moment.

[Joe Budden]

But you said that before.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, I said it more aggressively like that.

[Ish]

It wasn't all soft like that.

[Parks]

She said, I love you, man. It's you.

[Queens Flip]

She said, I want to thank you mid. Talking about a fire.

[Joe Budden]

Cause she know. She'd have been in the hills in somebody bunker. She would. You can't say that, right? It's a horrible time.

[Queens Flip]

It's.

[Parks]

Just save me, all right?

[Joe Budden]

Oh, my God, you guys, stop looking at me.

[Parks]

Anyway, down a notch.

[Joe Budden]

No, you crying for real. Anyways, go ahead, Mel.

[Parks]

I think that I speak for all of us when we say we want to extend our heartfelt, you know, condolences to everybody's losses.

[Joe Budden]

Word.

[Parks]

It's hard to watch it and actually compute what's actually happening, because it is. The city of Los Angeles is on fire. I'm. You know, I've lived in multiple different neighborhoods, so I know these particular areas where it is. And it's just like. The Palisades is very residentially dense, and it's multi. Multi million dollar homes throughout there. It's the Pacific coast highway and all of the multimillion dollar properties that run along the beach all the way up to Malibu. It goes all the way down to Redondo. Like. Like it's practically the entire city. I just. I can't believe it. And it's difficult to conceptualize that this is all just, you know, kind of brush fires that have been started. A couple of them, like the one in Runyon Canyon, which is basically, you know, kind of in the middle of a bunch of homes in the Hollywood Hills, in Mulholland Drive. It's hard to think that that was not, you know, intentionally started. So there's a lot of discussion about all of these fires and which ones were intentionally set and which ones were.

[Joe Budden]

And then they arrested Home. Then they arrested homeboy. That they. The torch that. Yeah, that they started the. What is it called? The Kenneth. The Kenneth's fires. They named the second fire. Yeah. Even if you didn't do it, homeboy. Bad time to have a blowtorch on you. Right now's not the time for your little read the room for your tool shed games. The fuck is wrong with you niggas? That's the other thing you say a lot in your 40s, yo, what the fuck is wrong with some of you people?

[Ish]

Yes, word.

[Parks]

You do tell me.

[Joe Budden]

You definitely do need a blowtorch and walk around right now. Niggas mush him to the ground so fast.

[Parks]

Anyway, what I've also been thinking about during this time is it sounds superficial, but it's not. Because the industry that is in LA predominantly is Hollywood. Moviemaking, television, et cetera. And we are smack dab in the middle of award show season. We just had the Golden Globes, SAG Awards are coming up. Oscars, Grammys, all of the award shows are coming up. It's gonna be really interesting to see how this is even pulled off because the vast majority of the celebrities that are going are now some of them displayed. Yeah. So it's just. This is gonna have. This isn't just laughing. This is gonna have a reverberating effect across the entire country and throughout the world. And we just aren't seeing it right now. But it's terrifying to think about what the, you know, the long term effects of this. It's not just rebuilding la. It's more than that. It just kind of. The footage just left me speechless.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

I reached out to a couple of my people that live out there, and I'm just, you know, just tapping in. Yo, y'all, I. Yeah. And people like, yo, I've been out here my whole life and I've never seen it like, nothing like this.

[Joe Budden]

I'm saying that a lot.

[Ish]

I'm. People sending me videos like, yo, look, the entire area is gone. Yeah. Run down the street. Like, yo, there's nothing less like, people like, yo, we lost. Everything was burned to the ground. Like a movie, a city. No, I showed a picture today that looked like, bro, it looked like a nuke went off.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Literally, it looked like what you see after nuke goes off and there's literally just nothing there but debris. You can't even tell where the houses were or. He's right.

[Parks]

I think that. Yeah, I think there's a. I've never really, like, Post apocalyptic movies, you know, like the Day After Tomorrow or whatever the shit.

[Joe Budden]

I love that movie.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, me too.

[Parks]

I don't like to watch them because I'm just like, we're on the precipice of this shit being a fucking reality. You know, we live in times in which we wake up and we're like, oh, what catastrophe's gonna happen today? And to your part, your point where you were talking about lack of empathy, I think it's partially that, but it's also like a sense of apathy has kind of permeated just the way we all think and feel. Because we're becoming so desensitized to catastrophic shit happening every single fucking day.

[Ish]

Not even the catastrophic shit. We see murders broadcasted in front of us on our phones every day. So it's like when you hear something happens, I'm immune to it.

[Melissa Ford]

Sometimes they're celebrated like. Like the shit with Luigi in him, like.

[Parks]

Yeah, well, I mean, honestly. But here's the thing about the whole Luigi thing. And the fact that, you know, people are heralding him as a martyr and whatnot. The same could be. There's a parallel line there between this and the insurance companies in Los Angeles, the home insurance companies canceling all of these policies, like all last year, you know. And there's a clip from Vince Staples being here talking about that very thing just last year. And it's. It gives you chills when you think about the fact that we were. They were. We were literally sitting on the precipice of this moment actually happening. And nobody thought that it was gonna happen. But there was a few people that were like, now this shit, it's a possibility.

[Ish]

What if? What if.

[Parks]

And it here we are. It's now. Not what if. It is now. It happened. What now?

[Joe Budden]

I cannot imagine losing my entire home and all of my belongings.

[Ish]

Your children, kids, pictures, you know what I'm saying? Like your baby pictures, your parents. IDs. Like, if you. Your mother might have been in Vietnam, your dad might have been. You know what I mean? Every memento that you ever had, Gold star, purple star, whatever the you had, though the sentimental that can't be ever replaced. That's the. That I don't give a. About no clothes, no cars and none of that other shit pets, you know what I'm saying? Like, yo, if you weren't able to. Yo, that shit is crazy.

[Joe Budden]

People on the highway I saw were abandoning their vehicles.

[Ish]

Just got out and left the vehicle.

[Joe Budden]

Burned all them shits down like that that looked. And I mean it's not. We can't just say, yeah, the footage looks horrible. Because every second it's different footage. Like, I've been just glued to the phone, seeing all types of different angles and people.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, me neither.

[Joe Budden]

I had to watch it because the stupid ass news lady when they fought in the Caliber, when the fire started, headed towards Calabasas. The fire. The fire. People were making people get out their cars. Abandon your cars. Y'all gotta go. Go that way. Stupid ass news lady down the hill with the mic. Hey, are they making you get out? Where are you going? Is carrying their dogs white people gonna bring them pets.

[Ish]

Oh, you're not playing about the pet. Yeah, Uncle.

[Joe Budden]

They taking Lassie and shout out to the cat in the Bronx. When that fire broke out, the fire fireman tried to grab it. Cat got out of here.

[Ish]

My Landed right on his feet. Yeah. Took off, went to the hospital a.

[Joe Budden]

Little bit, but came out cool. And that cat jumped from, like, the fourth floor. Bronx cats.

[Ish]

Bronx cats, yo.

[Joe Budden]

Bronx cats, yo.

[Ish]

They learned from.

[Queens Flip]

I was. I'm sorry. I was watching the news about the fire and. But one of the things that they highlighted was the looters. Yeah, that's something that stuck out to me. People that are actually looting. I'm like, what the fuck? What are they telling.

[Parks]

People are always gonna take advantage.

[Queens Flip]

I mean, they're saying that, yo, we're locking you up and we giving you time. They said that on the news. We are not accepting that up here. But I thought everything burned down. So in my mind, I was like, what are they?

[Parks]

No, not everything. So there is if you're inland, so let's just say Beverly Hills or Bel Air or, you know, kind of like LA proper. That's still. Okay.

[Queens Flip]

Got you.

[Parks]

You know, but when you are kind of outskirt and around a lot of, like, brush or by canyons or something like that, then you're probably in the pathway of destruction.

[Queens Flip]

Do you think that they're looting because all of the attention is towards.

[Parks]

Always take advantage of a situation like that.

[Ish]

Oh, so if they're saying, yo, y'all gotta get out of your house. Houses. We're too on time to go now.

[Queens Flip]

Yes. It's like a lot of people.

[Ish]

Yeah, it's groups of them. Like, groups like.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Riding around the areas. We know it's evacuated. We know it's empty. We running in there.

[Melissa Ford]

Fire is scary, man.

[Ish]

Wow.

[Joe Budden]

It is.

[Melissa Ford]

That is some scary. I had a. We were doing a studio session at my place a couple weeks ago, and so we had a pizza on the stove, and someone bumped the knob. You can smell it. And we put it in the sink or whatever. 20 minutes maybe pass. I pick up the box. There's nothing going on in there. So I'm like, all right, cool. Take this outside. And of course, it's Christmas season, so there's just piles of cardboard everywhere. I go back inside, I'm chilling. I still smell smoke. So I'm checking, like, the neighbor's house away. I hope someone else's shit ain't burning. Don't think nothing of it. Then I hear tapping on the glass like this. I look outside, it's just bright orange run outside. It's a gigantic fucking dumpster fire in my fucking front of my house. The fire department comes and puts it out and all that shit. But it was just within 5, 10 minutes, something that did not look on fire. Did not. Was not burning no ashes in there, nothing. Immediately started this fucking gigantic fire.

[Parks]

It's those fucking embers. And that's why people are like, how are all these fires, like, you know, just out of control?

[Melissa Ford]

It's just so easy.

[Parks]

It's because of the wind.

[Ish]

They said the wind could literally take fire particles and bring the embers.

[Melissa Ford]

Don't gotta even be much, though.

[Ish]

My point, in all directions. So, no.

[Joe Budden]

Yes, the wind can take fire.

[Ish]

No, we. From here, we don't know that shit.

[Parks]

I mean, honestly, what. Canada just had a ton of fires.

[Ish]

But last year, were saying it was fake and were saying that it. You know what I mean? Like, every. They had the. The doubters. You have a blue.

[Parks]

Like, that's how you make the fire go bigger.

[Joe Budden]

You don't smoke, so you never.

[Parks]

Well, smoke a little.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. You smoke hookah. You don't smoke hook.

[Ish]

When the hookah cold, fucking up, you take this.

[Joe Budden]

You don't blow the hookah combs.

[Queens Flip]

Let that land on some paper.

[Ish]

Yeah, it's going up quick.

[Melissa Ford]

That is terrifying.

[Ish]

I talked to my man just. Just this morning. He was like. Like, he's not right there by the coast. But again, the wind blowing everything. He was like, yo, just yesterday they got up, it was smoke in the house. Like, they're advised they can't go outside. So he's like, yo. Him and his daughter, he said they packed the bag and they about to get up out of there. I'm like, where you going? He's like, I don't know, but we got to get out of here.

[Queens Flip]

I called my family toy.

[Joe Budden]

Evacuated.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Shout out to all my west coast people, man.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, word. I checked in with a Couple people, they're staying in hotels, whatever. They got everything.

[Ish]

Like, the up part is those are the privileged people.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, for sure.

[Ish]

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Those are the privileged people. Everybody don't have money to just jump on a plane or go stay in a hotel far away. Some niggas got to endure that shit because they not financially able to do so.

[Queens Flip]

Airbnb came out and said that they're providing homes for displaced people.

[Parks]

For about a week.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, for about a week. Airbnb said that.

[Joe Budden]

Then after that week. Come on, now. Back. Got to get out Back. Back to business.

[Queens Flip]

You think they gonna give him the back to it? 10:00am you gotta leave.

[Ish]

10:00Am Checkout time.

[Melissa Ford]

That is up, too, cuz. Like, everyone's got to find somewhere to stay after everything, you know, hope, God forbid, hopefully gets cleaned up quick. There's still no places for anybody to stay. You know what I'm saying?

[Joe Budden]

Like, my New York ass was like, hey, where's all the fire hydrants? And the news was like, there's no water in the fire hydrants.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, I think. Well, one thing I read is that there's water in there, but there's not. It's all hills. So it's hard to get the shit up. Like, the pressure.

[Ish]

And that's what my man told me. He was like, yo, the landscape is the real complicated piece. The landscape of California is just so hard. Like, yo, dawg, some shit might be right there, but that shit is up a hill. You can't really get to it. It. You know what I'm saying? Even with the fire department. And another thing was they were talking about 30 of the fire department is convicts.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Or jail people. And they've been laying the off that are the firefighters and hiring the. The jail people. And they get $5 a day, $6 a day, and they not really getting their bumps. But five, they said between five to ten dollars a day. You know what I'm saying? That is crazy.

[Queens Flip]

Trump blamed the governor.

[Joe Budden]

Right.

[Queens Flip]

He said it's something pertaining to. He was supposed to sign. I really don't know the story.

[Melissa Ford]

There's a lot of politics that are happening right now. People pointing fingers, both sides pointing fingers at each other for this is all your fault. And maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I don't know. I think it's kind of the wrong time personally for me.

[Joe Budden]

Let's hear from some crazy white boy that I don't know.

[Melissa Ford]

California's governor Gavin Newsom declares a state of emergency with Los Angeles facing One of the most destructive fires in the city's history, and over 100,000 people ordered to be evacuated. Despite trying to pin all the blame on climate change, the leadership's coming under extreme backlash for mismanagement. First, while her city was burning, Mayor Karen Bass was in Ghana, Africa, to attend the inauguration of the new president. However, it gets worse. It turns out a few weeks ago, she cut the fire department's budget by $18 million to divert it to homelessness. But if she fully had her way, that cut would be $23 million. As you can see above, here are the increases and decreases in budget. The fire department, the second largest one. Next up, amidst the crisis, the city ran out of water and hydrants were down. Fire crews were forced to watch as the flames eviscerated entire neighborhoods. One of the main contributing reasons for this was because Gavin Newsom and the environmentalist movement blocked water from being diverted from North California to the south because it would endanger a species of fish. This one specifically, and don't get me started on the dam. Third, the city decided to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion by appointing the first woman and LGBTQ fire chief chief to the LAFD with her main vision to build a more diverse fire force. Join me on Discord to talk about it.

[Joe Budden]

Hey, homeboy, while I'm not joining your Discord, I do agree with some of this. And I'm hearing a lot of people talk about the dams out there. So I don't know if the fire hydrants are just empty because of landscaping or because they have been funneling all water that they have through whatever dam that they build or. Or have out there.

[Ish]

Well, I hear that part. Prayers to everybody.

[Joe Budden]

Man, that's. Yeah. Because I can't imagine.

[Ish]

Yeah, I really can't.

[Joe Budden]

I can't. It's terrifying.

[Ish]

It really is. It's different because again, once the smoke clears, no pun intended, once the fires are out, fam, you still got hundreds of thousands of people. People that have nowhere to go. It ain't enough hotels. It ain't enough Airbnbs. It ain't enough temporary housing to displace 500, 000 people.

[Queens Flip]

You have to move somewhere else. Probably not in California.

[Ish]

We in the middle of school semester. Like that. Like that is different.

[Queens Flip]

Got a lot of abandoned places in America, so send them there.

[Ish]

Crazy dog. Like, man, I was reading a stat here, and it's just putting Palisades fire in perspective for those who don't really know, understand the size and everything. New York, Manhattan, New York City. Is 14,604 acres. And it says the Palisades fire has now burnt 19,978 acres. And that's just one of the fires.

[Melissa Ford]

Jesus.

[Ish]

One of them?

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Covered the whole Manhattan. Mel, you were trying to explain it to us. We didn't get it. Like, I'm looking at a map, but that says a lot.

[Parks]

It has multiple fires and it's. Oh, it's the area that it covers. It's long and wide and far. Multiple fires going at the same time and very little containment. So in closing, just.

[Joe Budden]

So there's nothing that they can do until. And not just condolences, but prayer, of course. Is there nothing that they can do until the wind slows down?

[Ish]

Yeah, because the wind's carrying the fire so fast, dawg. Even for the last week out here, the wind has been blowing out here. Crazy out here. You've been getting 60 mile an hour winds. So you got a big ass forest blaze and the wind is blowing that shit. And if the wind changes directions, the fire will literally be coming this way and turn, you know what I'm saying? Go that direction. So you can't really contain that shit that easily, dog. You know, they got the. Like the helicopters and dropping the water. I saw one video. They dropped it and the wind just blew all the water. It didn't because it's so windy. They couldn't even drop the. The water on the.

[Joe Budden]

I saw a video of a lady filming on the highway. Every truck was turned over on its side. Like, I'm talking about like 17, 18 trucks just on the road on the side.

[Ish]

Like some TV Armageddon, Mad Max type.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah. They were plowing the trucks to move them out the way, but the fact.

[Ish]

That they were flipped on their side is nuts.

[Joe Budden]

That looks nuts to see.

[Queens Flip]

I understand. And real quick, when I say send them over there, I don't want to seem like I'm not understanding because I just said that. And send. There's some vacant lots in America. Send the people over there. I don't want it to sound away. I'm just saying that I feel like the government should put its resources into providing these people with homes in areas that are not occupied right now. That's what I feel. You know what I mean? And I know it's hard, but there's a lot of places that, you know.

[Joe Budden]

I want to say something about that shit State Farm did, but I got State Farm.

[Queens Flip]

What you want to say? Let me say it.

[Joe Budden]

You gotta pick your bag.

[Queens Flip]

I got usaa, nigga. So let Me say it?

[Joe Budden]

No, I just think it's fucked up. It is fucked up.

[Ish]

You think?

[Joe Budden]

I think that's fucked up.

[Ish]

Yeah, bro.

[Joe Budden]

And I think that that's one of them insurance scam. Like, it. Like, it's. I know that people are just assuming that the privileged people are out there, so yada, yada. I saw what Janae Aiko was going through when she tried to put up a heartfelt post like, oh, you're rich.

[Ish]

It's like, right? Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

But you don't know about nobody's insurance policy.

[Melissa Ford]

And you don't know how rich people.

[Ish]

You don't know how much money got because they think we rich. It don't matter, bro. It don't matter. I don't care about who rich or who not stupid.

[Joe Budden]

I won't do it.

[Ish]

I don't even care about that. I don't give a. About that.

[Joe Budden]

Well, look, because I. I mean, I don't want to be too phony. I. I did laugh at Beyonce's mom's post.

[Parks]

What did she say? I didn't see it.

[Joe Budden]

She had like, I guess a little beach house in Malibu and it was floating and the post was like, oh, my little safe escape. Oh, my home away from home. My little.

[Parks]

Oh, yeah, that's a little tone deaf that I love. When one of your. One of your homes was affected. One of your homes.

[Queens Flip]

Paris Hilton.

[Parks]

Paris Hilton did the same thing. I felt bad at my Malibu house. We had. We were creating some creative memories. Creating memories there, and it's just like, girl, that's hate.

[Joe Budden]

No, that's not right.

[Queens Flip]

That's hate.

[Joe Budden]

That's not right.

[Parks]

Come on, man, you're Paris Hilton. What's the difference between her and Beyonce's mom?

[Joe Budden]

Because Beyonce mom, the place was like, the way that she spoke about it was just like, hey, this is just a small place that I used to go and get away to.

[Ish]

Yeah, that's what she made it sound like. Memories and all that. No sentimental value. But if Paris Hilton grew up in that, I'm just.

[Parks]

No, she was. No, she. She literally said my Malibu house.

[Joe Budden]

You've been hating on Paris Hilton.

[Parks]

Shut up. I like Paris Hilton, but it did come out. Middle tone. It wasn't Paris Hilton.

[Queens Flip]

He listens to the part.

[Joe Budden]

Man, be careful.

[Melissa Ford]

Now.

[Queens Flip]

Hold up.

[Ish]

You saying we not good enough for Paris Hill?

[Parks]

I'm not saying that at all. Okay. Hey, Paris. What's up, girl?

[Queens Flip]

Look what you did.

[Joe Budden]

Shout it out. Shout it out. Same thing with that plea.

[Queens Flip]

Same thing with Demi Moore. Mel. Mel.

[Joe Budden]

Just Kevin Spacey. Yo, Mel. I can't believe y'all let her get away with that.

[Queens Flip]

Y'all the audience. Can I ask you a question about that, Mel? Do you introduce yourself as, I'm Melissa Ford. I'm on a jbp. Or you say, I'm just Melissa Ford.

[Parks]

Wait, where. Where am I doing?

[Queens Flip]

If we meet somebody, if we meet Kevin Spacey, like, what do you do? Do you give them the whole rundown?

[Parks]

Hi, it's nice to meet you, I'm Melissa.

[Queens Flip]

And what if Kevin Spacey said, well, Melissa, what do you do?

[Parks]

I am a media personality, podcaster, and renaissance woman.

[Ish]

Do you mention JBP first or Hot and Bothered First.

[Queens Flip]

Love Bell.

[Parks]

I. I mentioned them both at the same time. Oh, well, what do you mean media personality? Like, so what are you on the radio? Well, I'm on the largest podcast and you know urban boxing.

[Joe Budden]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let me correct y'all. Cause I keep hearing that up here. This is one of the largest podcasts in the world.

[Parks]

Yes, that's what I say.

[Joe Budden]

All of that urban that, y'all.

[Parks]

I don't put it on me.

[Queens Flip]

We never corrected that.

[Ish]

We are one of the biggest podcasts in the world, but we are number one in certain demos.

[Joe Budden]

Got it?

[Ish]

We are number one.

[Parks]

And that is the clarification.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, but don't meet Paris Hilton and start talking about one of the biggest urban.

[Parks]

I don't. Well, I mean, she's down with it. She's down with a get down.

[Joe Budden]

She knows in the world.

[Parks]

I know. I say in the world.

[Queens Flip]

You be letting it slide, too. I be see you get a little twitch. We've been number one in urban media.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, so what? Oh, man.

[Queens Flip]

Anyway, prayers.

[Ish]

Yeah, definitely.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, prayers, everyone.

[Joe Budden]

Yes.

[Melissa Ford]

Continued prayers. Because it's not over.

[Ish]

Yeah, is still going.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

That is terrible.

[Ish]

That's cool. It is, bro. Think about it.

[Joe Budden]

Absolutely.

[Queens Flip]

Out there, some tv.

[Ish]

I showed us pictures. Like, the overheads. My not trying to the look like. Like a garden. It just got rolls like this where houses used to be. That just looks. It looks like some fake. Like some AI.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Sunset is up.

[Ish]

I'm like, yo, what the. Like, yo, that's crazy, B. Like, I don't know how long it's gonna take them to recover from that.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, I asked that earlier. I asked you that earlier.

[Ish]

How long you gotta think. Some of These houses were 10, 12,000 square feet, right? 5,000 square feet. 3,000. Like, that shit just don't get built overnight. Them clearing up the rubble and the debris and the fire damage.

[Queens Flip]

Shit.

[Ish]

And all of that shit might not get done for six years.

[Parks]

You're not even thinking about all of the businesses that were demolished by fire. So it's just like. So all of the building. Just think about how you spend your day. How you spend your day as like, you know, landlord, home builder, et cetera. You take for granted that you get in your car and you go to Home Depot and you make all these stops and whatever else, all that shit is gone. So where is all the material to do the building? You know what I'm saying?

[Melissa Ford]

There's not locally wise contractors in the world to rebuild that whole shit.

[Ish]

And now it's going to definitely be a price bump. Plywood going double. Two by four is going to double Y. All of that shit going to double. You got your man Big T coming in a month. Pause that. All he going to start doing his tariff shit about to get crazy.

[Parks]

Also think about all this stuff that is, like, you know, imported.

[Ish]

That's what I'm saying.

[Parks]

From California. The tariff in terms of like, food, produce and stuff like that. That's what I mean about a reverberating effect across the country. It's. It's going to be. It's going to be nuts.

[Ish]

The Pacific is right there. We get mad shit from China and from Asia. It comes via Cat. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's gonna be crazy.

[Melissa Ford]

It is.

[Queens Flip]

When Big T going to office with January 20th?

[Ish]

Not even that.

[Joe Budden]

January?

[Ish]

Yeah, not even January.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Couple weeks. But yeah, he started. He's saying he's starting off with his tariff. So now you impose tariffs on China. California is burned up to the ground. The ports over there, all that shit gonna be affected. Pricing is gonna go through the roof. For every thing that we use, pricing is going through the roof.

[Joe Budden]

Y'all scaring people on the weekend.

[Queens Flip]

Okay.

[Melissa Ford]

That's true.

[Queens Flip]

Sorry.

[Joe Budden]

By people, I mean me terrified shaking over here again. Thoughts and prayers to anybody, anybody and everybody that is affected by the Palisades fires and that Kenneth's fire. All of the fires over there. I can't imagine it. And yeah, that's. Let me play out.

[Ish]

They said it what Tojo play outstanding for us. A couple people.

[Joe Budden]

I got you.

[Melissa Ford]

We might need that anime Frankie beverage. We need both. Double header.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, it's la. I would be terrified to live there because of like that Florida. I'd be terrified to live because of the hurricanes.

[Melissa Ford]

Like, I can put up with this cold. I'm cool.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Ish]

I'll take this snow all the yeah, okay, I'll take it.

[Queens Flip]

Girl, you looking sweet.

[Ish]

I can love you right.

[Queens Flip]

In a.

[Joe Budden]

Special way.

[Ish]

Like my mind I feel alive.

[Joe Budden]

Mike check, mike check, mike check. One, two, one, two.

[Ish]

Oh, that sounds.

[Joe Budden]

The sound effects. The sound effects. Got a volume button now.

[Ish]

That sounds great. Yeah, that sounds crazy.

[Melissa Ford]

My little app has that little slider.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, that's more like it.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

I'm such a child. All right, we here, man. Let's find something to talk about that the people can feel good about. All right, what we got? What we got?

[Ish]

What we got? We were talking about fires. So you want to get to the.

[Joe Budden]

The.

[Ish]

The smoking fiasco that's going on on the timeline.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, yeah. It's a bunch of going on.

[Melissa Ford]

Wait, I've missed it.

[Joe Budden]

So Fabio and Lil TJ went to. Went to Dude's house. Okay, dude is a streamer. I don't. I'm not familiar with the streaming world. That's his name. Playboy Max. Little TJ and Fabio went to Playboy Max's house with their entourage. They were doing some streaming. Plaque Boy Max. Sorry. See a flip. You don't know the popular stream.

[Ish]

You're not in that.

[Joe Budden]

You're not in the streaming world. Yo, like, you wanted to innovate over that, but after that.

[Queens Flip]

You think so?

[Ish]

Yeah, they moved past.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, yeah. No, they evolved the game since I got you there. So it's not. Not Playboy Max.

[Queens Flip]

Plaque Boy.

[Joe Budden]

It's Plaque Boy. Got you. Salute to Max. There you go.

[Melissa Ford]

Old as hell.

[Joe Budden]

You ain't call him Champ, huh? Just your man is champ.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

That's crazy. Fabio and Little TJ went to Black Boy Max's house to do some streaming with their entourage.

[Melissa Ford]

Sounds fun.

[Joe Budden]

They started smoking in there.

[Melissa Ford]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

Black Boy Max said kindly, might I add, hey, my brother, can you put that out? There's no smoking in here. I would appreciate it.

[Ish]

You told him this is an Airbnb.

[Joe Budden]

This is an Airbnb that's gonna go off. You can smoke outside right here in the yard.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Or you can smoke in the front. Please don't. Don't smoke in here. Lil TJ said, yeah, I heard you. And continued to smoke. And then he asked him again, hey, hey, big dog, please, please, no smoking in here. I would appreciate you.

[Melissa Ford]

This is all I hear, by the way.

[Ish]

Yeah, all on the stream.

[Joe Budden]

Lil TJ looked like he lit something else up to me, but he continued to smoke. Fabio continued to smoke. They just ignored Blackboy Max.

[Melissa Ford]

That's not very nice.

[Joe Budden]

And the Internet was up in arms. That is so disrespectful.

[Melissa Ford]

How could they do that to black boy?

[Ish]

Then they got mad and left.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, then they left.

[Ish]

He asked him a couple times. But again, very. From what I look. From what it looked to me, very respectfully, it was. And on the walkout, it kind of looked like, you know, like TJ dapped everybody up and Fabio kind of just like blew some smoke over at him.

[Parks]

Damn.

[Ish]

They walked out with attitude as mature.

[Queens Flip]

I think that initially, like I said, they came with all the people.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Cause it was only three people initially. Placboi, Max and his two homies. But it was supposed to be Favio. They didn't know Plaque Boy didn't know TJ was coming. And they came in there. And I guess according to Favio is that, you know, he got up out of there because the tension was high. I guess he said his people felt the way and he know that his voice and how powerful it is and the tension was high. So that's why he said he didn't give him a pound, he just left. You know what I mean? But I agree with Placboy, man. You know, they asked him, yo, man, stop smoking and shit like that. You gotta stop smoking.

[Ish]

And I watched TJ respond to it, and he was like. He said Placboy talked to him crazy. Now, that's his interpretation of it. I didn't see it that way, but he said there were other people in there smoking. And the fact that you singled me out made him feel like you was picking on me. Yeah, you talking down at me, you know, he's like, yo, could you put that out, please? Appreciate it like that. Like, he didn't appreciate the way he spoke to him. So, yeah, I'm gonna keep smoking. And he was like, you lucky this we on stream or else it would have went somewhere else.

[Parks]

Wow, what a fucking hell to die on.

[Melissa Ford]

For real. You ready to crash out over some smoking?

[Ish]

Hey, these niggas take they smoking serious.

[Queens Flip]

You just gotta go outside.

[Melissa Ford]

How do you feel? What's his face?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, what's baseball?

[Queens Flip]

Tell me.

[Joe Budden]

Doom, doom, doom.

[Queens Flip]

Fabio understanding, nigga. I don't know his angle, you know what I mean?

[Joe Budden]

Fabio said if they was in New Jersey, he would have put it out. But since they was in Brooklyn, he felt like he was at home. Fabio's understanding, yo, I'm conflicted it.

[Queens Flip]

Me too.

[Ish]

Why is a that smoke in anywhere?

[Joe Budden]

Not. No, because I'm respectful enough today, maybe today to where?

[Melissa Ford]

At 20 something, though.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, yeah. Respect, respectfully. I'm not going to smoke when I'm not supposed to smoke, and I shouldn't be smoking, period. Trying to quit that. Shout out to all the people on that journey. Yeah. But back in the day, you know how many places I smoke where I couldn't smoke? Yeah. After they said, hey, can you not smoke right here? Oh, sure, man. After I'm done smoking this, like, so I don't want to get on my moral high ground with the. Would I have done it the way they did it? They look like if the camera wasn't on, they would have did something to black boy Max. They both said it and it looked like that, though.

[Ish]

Yeah, that's exactly how it looked.

[Joe Budden]

I think Max was too respectful to deserve any of that.

[Melissa Ford]

I agree.

[Joe Budden]

But in terms of, hey, we're smoking in here, even if we not allowed to smoke in here because of who we be, I just can't go all the way against that. I can't. And if I can't smoke in here, I'm gonna do what they did. Not like that. I'm out.

[Ish]

I'm not mad at that. But how they did the way they.

[Joe Budden]

Did it wasn't with a lot of grace. It wasn't with a lot of grace.

[Queens Flip]

Maybe they thought that the Internet wouldn't be.

[Joe Budden]

And on the flip side. My bad. Flip on the flip side of that. That's also why I don't do guests. Right. Because all I could do was picture me in that scenario. And y'all gonna have to kill me in here. Y'all have to kill me in here. Cause I just said my second time, I ain't gonna be as nice as him. Hey, dawg, are you illiterate? Did you not just hear me tell your slow ass that you can't smoke? I'm gonna say something foul. They gonna shoot me.

[Queens Flip]

You always take the chance like that.

[Joe Budden]

They gonna shoot me.

[Queens Flip]

You don't give a fuck. You would have did that, that with all them there, like you just did it.

[Joe Budden]

I don't give a About all them being there, because that's the other thing. This is my Airbnb right. True pat downs. When you come in here, if I'm letting you and 90 in here, there will be a pat down. I ain't just gonna get to talking crazy. Everybody got a gun. One gun can shoot. Yeah. Not 20 guns.

[Queens Flip]

It hit different.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, that's a little different. Yeah, that's a little different.

[Queens Flip]

I mean, when I had the studio in the city, I asked people not to smoke, and. And some wanted to smoke, and it was a real debate. Yo, you can smoke in here, Flip. No, man, you can't smoke. I just going back and forth for a while. I'm not filming to like.

[Joe Budden]

No, I was smoking in complex bathroom.

[Ish]

Yeah, but you went in the bathroom, though. You get what I'm saying?

[Joe Budden]

You weren't allowed to smoke.

[Queens Flip]

I understand that.

[Ish]

You still went in a way to try to disguise showing respect for it, though.

[Joe Budden]

Said, don't smoke in Complex's bathroom. And I said, all right. And I continued to smoke in Complex's bathroom.

[Ish]

I understand that. You didn't sit on a set of everyday struggles, so you're not smoking in the camera's face while he taking a piss in Complex's bathroom.

[Melissa Ford]

It's also a little different doing that to like a company or a corporation, because I'm the same way. I've been that same touchstone versus someone's crib, like, or Airbnb or whatever.

[Ish]

But again, if the CEO of Complex is taking a piss, you're not going to go in there and be like an event, dog.

[Joe Budden]

The artists feel like. No, I don't think I would. Yeah, the artists feel like they. Michael Jackson.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Ish]

It ain't just that.

[Queens Flip]

When you use that.

[Joe Budden]

It's not just biggest thing analogy because.

[Queens Flip]

He could do whatever you want.

[Ish]

No, it's two things.

[Joe Budden]

Michael Jackson is the biggest thing in the world. Yes. What I'm saying. Every artist thinks they are the biggest thing in the world. Got it? So, yeah, I'm not.

[Ish]

That's.

[Joe Budden]

Stop smoking.

[Ish]

That's one piece. Second piece. Second piece is who are you? Yeah, you ain't. You ain't. You ain't we street. True. Who are you to tell us to do anything? That's true. And that's the way a lot of street view. Non street. That's true.

[Joe Budden]

Do you. Shut the up.

[Ish]

Don't say nothing. I don't care what you say.

[Queens Flip]

Do you think the way he said it, by not actually turning around and.

[Ish]

Pulling around, he turned around the first time.

[Queens Flip]

Because when I watched it, little TJ.

[Joe Budden]

Looked at that, he was eating.

[Ish]

It was like, shut up. I'm gonna do this. Don't you don't. You can't ask me to do nothing. Yeah, because you're not a street. Had that been another street sitting there and just ask him the exact same way I think it goes. If that's Mayno's podcast, I think the level of respect for Mayno, they. They carry.

[Joe Budden]

They're not going to smoke in maintenance pocket.

[Ish]

I'm just giving you. But even if. If he was to say, yo, dog.

[Joe Budden]

They'Re not even gonna have their lighter.

[Ish]

You get what I'm saying, though? So Ice is right. I think the two things. I think the fact that this goes into the entitlement of celebrities or goes to the entitlement of artists, that's just one small thing. But also, I think Ice is right. And. Yo, who the fuck are you, nigga? You can't tell me what the. You know what I mean, I think.

[Joe Budden]

It'S more this than us street niggas, too. I'm not saying it's about Fabio and Lil tj. Cause I fuck with Fabio. But there's too many street niggas that hide not being able to fight behind being a street nigga too. Well, you could beat the fuck up as a street nigga. What did that mean to me?

[Queens Flip]

But when you fight a street nigga, a lot of niggas, the odds of.

[Ish]

A nigga trusting your chin are different.

[Queens Flip]

But that's not necessarily true. A nigga may step out, you make it jump. But a N makes. You may get the odds. Okay? You may get a hit. Wow.

[Ish]

You know what I'm saying?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. But to me, street nigga means more than I have 70 people with me. I'm talking about if it's just you and whoever you deem to be soft.

[Ish]

I'm sorry, I don't even think it's the celebrity piece there. If they went to power 105 and they said, yo, dogs, y'all can't smoke right here. I don't think they light up right here. And Joe, it's more so the we don't respect you. He's right.

[Queens Flip]

You grew up a little bit bit different. And you were around a little bit different. The street you was around, they would fight, they would back up, put whatever down, and give you the one on one. Because them can fight. A lot of these days are.

[Joe Budden]

Are not doing that as union.

[Queens Flip]

Drugged up, huh?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I get what you're saying.

[Ish]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Queens Flip]

A lot of like. Like, nitty will fight, nigga.

[Joe Budden]

All right.

[Queens Flip]

What you want to fight? Oh, hold up. Let's round the corner. We don't need none of that. I fight you one on one and.

[Joe Budden]

Follow you home and you're happy, family fun.

[Queens Flip]

No, you can't say that.

[Joe Budden]

Fight don't end. So if you try to say fight is a trick.

[Queens Flip]

So you get the best.

[Ish]

Get it started.

[Queens Flip]

Now if you get a best of one of them, they gonna follow.

[Joe Budden]

Nitty is the jackal, boy. Oh, man, what was I saying? Listen, slow news week for me, cuz. I don't. I don't really give a. About Fabio and Lil TJ smoking in Black boy Max's house.

[Queens Flip]

I don't.

[Joe Budden]

I really don't. But, I mean, what else? We got.

[Ish]

Some other beefs, but what else?

[Joe Budden]

More beefs. Yeah.

[Ish]

I don't know if we want to touch on it.

[Queens Flip]

What you talking about? The Jim Jones And Cam in 50.

[Ish]

It's news again. I don't know if we want to go down that path without all the information.

[Queens Flip]

When Cam interviewed 50, he talked about the beef that him and 50 had back in the days. And then Cam elaborated that, yo, you had. You did a. You played chess by having Jim Jones come and perform at a show. And Cam did identify that there was some internal issues with Dipset. And he was like, I wanted to see what happened. And 50 said the same thing. 50 said, yo, I threw it out there. And Jim bit the bait. This is what they said. Capo did a interview with Justin Boyd, right? And he stated that them niggas is on my dick, right? And he just elaborated on things. And that's what everything is. That's where everything is at now. So now 50 responded. I think Cam was responding Monday. So this is where we at with this right now.

[Joe Budden]

This one's ugly.

[Ish]

So I said, this one is ugly because it got potential to go left.

[Joe Budden]

Why?

[Ish]

I don't think so. I definitely think so. I think if paths were crossed mainly between. I don't really think 50, but I think if paths were crossed between Jim and Cam, it could go left at this point.

[Queens Flip]

Really? There's a lot of things that were set up between the both of them over the years, and they were able to come together.

[Ish]

But even, like, they came together at the verses, and he mentioned, I ain't seen them before then. We don't talk. We ain't spoke since then. We didn't know he was coming. Like, it ain't like shit is smooth there with them because they did a show.

[Queens Flip]

I think some niggas have more love and respect.

[Ish]

The love piece is different. I cannot fuck with you and still love you.

[Queens Flip]

Exactly.

[Ish]

You think the love is still there?

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Okay. I think it's love there. Jim came on this show and said, cam is my heart. You know what I'm saying? He said, jim say that all the time.

[Joe Budden]

He said it on that interview.

[Ish]

You know what I mean? Oh, he did.

[Joe Budden]

He said, cam is my man, man. I was Cam's man. Not just like some runner. I was a business partner.

[Ish]

You're speaking in all of that in Past tense, though, was. Which means that could have changed possibly. But if you. Look, if you. If you are. And we cannot. But if you are interpreting that from Jim's perspective. I love you, Kim.

[Joe Budden]

That's what I'm saying.

[Ish]

You know what I'm saying?

[Joe Budden]

I love it like it's different. I know. I love your mom. I love your family. Like, whatever you mad at me about, and we not hanging out no more. Nigga, we grew up together.

[Ish]

Yeah. I still love you, nigga.

[Melissa Ford]

And we can talk shit to each other, but it's just talking shit.

[Joe Budden]

We good.

[Ish]

I'm not gonna do nothing to you when I see you.

[Queens Flip]

What's the limit to talking shit, though? And how much can you get off? Because before, Cam responded to Jim, before, remember he did the Instagram live when he was talking about things, when Jim had. Did the interview do on the radio, Stuff like that. Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

I don't predict Cam going crazy on Jim.

[Ish]

Okay, now, Cam mouth is crazy. But pause, pause.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

You can't do that.

[Queens Flip]

He's pushing 50. He get it.

[Joe Budden]

I know better.

[Ish]

I think. I think Cam is going to say some things, but I. I still think that. I don't think Cam and Jim would get in a physical altercation. I would hope.

[Joe Budden]

I agree with you.

[Ish]

The neighborhoods that we from, bro, like, they got history. History. It's hard to really get into a physical altercation with a. That you've known since you was 13 years old.

[Queens Flip]

You know what I mean?

[Parks]

Doesn't play a role here.

[Queens Flip]

But do you think Capo did say them. Don't mind, so.

[Joe Budden]

But that was the worst of what he said.

[Queens Flip]

I agree.

[Joe Budden]

He didn't say I was surprised to.

[Queens Flip]

Him say that, though.

[Ish]

I was surprised, too.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Jim usually take a higher road when it comes to.

[Ish]

He don't speak on a lot of.

[Queens Flip]

He takes a higher.

[Ish]

He don't speak on shit. Any interview. I see. Jim don't really speak on n. He doesn't.

[Joe Budden]

He'll.

[Ish]

He'll steer the conversation differently or just say, I'm not talking about that. So I was shocked to even hear that part.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I don't like it.

[Queens Flip]

Not me neither.

[Ish]

I don't like it.

[Joe Budden]

Jim handled that. Push a T shirt. What?

[Queens Flip]

He said, yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Now say something.

[Ish]

Nah. She got a post up on her Instagram.

[Joe Budden]

[Ish]

While the unimaginable is happening with the fires in la, air quality is so poor, toxic even. I'm using the brand air purifier to ensure my Kids and pets are breathing in fresh, double filtered air. The brand is now offering $200 off when you use my link in Bio. There is no price on peace of mind, but having it is more valuable than most worldly things. Hashtag pray for la. Hashtag air quality.

That's as bad.

[Joe Budden]

Dre, this is bad. Like, you got friends that broadcast for a living. How do we. There's no way that's bad. This is bad. I don't even know. This is so tone deaf. This is the wrong time to sell your air purifier. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ish]

This.

[Joe Budden]

Come on, Andrea. Yeah, Come on. Would.

[Ish]

Would any of y'all do it?

[Joe Budden]

No.

[Parks]

No.

[Joe Budden]

No.

[Queens Flip]

People are losing their lives, bro.

[Parks]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

People are losing all of their valuables.

[Ish]

You ain't answering.

[Joe Budden]

Their homes, their lives, their pets.

[Queens Flip]

Wait, is you would have did it. Is why you ain't ask this?

[Ish]

Huh? I said no.

[Joe Budden]

See, Cory, I told you. He wasn't gonna say what he said in the kitchen.

[Ish]

He sure wasn't.

[Joe Budden]

He wasn't gonna say what he said in the kitchen.

[Ish]

He wasn't gonna say it.

[Queens Flip]

I have a question for you, too. Sure. If you got kicked out of your home now or you was displaced, do you have other homes that you can occupy that you can live in? I knew it.

[Joe Budden]

Matilda gotta go, though.

[Queens Flip]

Who's Matilda?

[Joe Budden]

Whoever that motherfucker Matilda gotta get the fuck out of here.

[Ish]

So you gotta go.

[Queens Flip]

So would you evict somebody to go stay in there?

[Ish]

No.

[Queens Flip]

Oh, so you. Oh, so you got a side home?

[Ish]

No.

[Joe Budden]

The fires is a serious topic, but I do want to be ignorant for two seconds.

[Queens Flip]

Me too.

[Joe Budden]

I saw clips over there in Malibu where the fires, like, skip the house every now and again. So let me tell y'all, if my house is on fire, the house is next to me is on fire, too. Do not be scared. Are you crazy?

[Ish]

I'll start that myself.

[Joe Budden]

Yes. I'm going over there with a match.

[Ish]

A whoopsie.

[Joe Budden]

A match in a match.

[Ish]

You crazy as hell.

[Joe Budden]

If I'm gonna be my whole.

[Ish]

All our burnt down and you good.

[Joe Budden]

Skip right over your house and you chilling and a fan.

[Ish]

They're not good either.

[Joe Budden]

They're not good either. They won't be good.

[Ish]

Ain't gonna be. Y'all gonna be outside too. They're gonna have to knock their down from the smoke inhalation.

[Joe Budden]

No, once I once I put my Uggs on, they gonna have to knock all that down. Soon as I find this robe.

[Ish]

I'm right my name in gasoline on this.

[Queens Flip]

That's disgusting.

[Joe Budden]

It's horrible and it shouldn't be said, but I would do it as soon.

[Ish]

As I find this robe. Yo.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

As soon as I get these Uggs on, your house is going down.

[Ish]

You just wait right here.

[Joe Budden]

Your hugs, they is an idiot. This conspiracy theories going around saying that the arsonists are starting these fires. I'm not going to use this very big platform to spread conspiracy theories, but I will go home and believe some of them.

[Ish]

I'll be in belief with you.

[Joe Budden]

Now, could that make some sense?

[Ish]

It does.

[Joe Budden]

And I don't watch too much of this Jackal and all of this other stuff.

[Ish]

Yeah, it was good, right? Yeah.

[Parks]

Did you watch the whole thing? Okay.

[Joe Budden]

Out of it. Cory, you watched the whole thing?

[Queens Flip]

She said he was talking to me.

[Joe Budden]

Of course I watched the whole thing.

[Parks]

Okay, fine. So we've all seen the whole thing.

[Melissa Ford]

I haven't, but go ahead.

[Joe Budden]

The entire Jackal. And I'm here to spoil it for those who haven't seen it. If you want to see it and have it seen it, fast forward. Hit the little 15 second. Yeah, hit that a few times. We got the prize picks add in, so we should be good now. I liked it. I absolutely loved it. Absolutely loved it. What a great show. I wish that you would have told me that they was in Germany and all Spain and all of these other.

[Ish]

I did try to tell you that when you stepped on my. When I was talking about the European.

[Joe Budden]

Clothes that didn't tell me that they sell European clothes over here.

[Ish]

No, I'm. You stepped on my man.

[Joe Budden]

Keep. Proceed.

[Ish]

Yo.

[Joe Budden]

So why you can't get better at picking it right back up, huh? Mr. Not entry level, Mr. Non entry. Listen, the clothes. He was fly. You were right about the clothes. The Jackal was absolutely fly. I got a lot of questions about this show. I do do. Like what? I have a lot. Question number one. Who was more heartless, the Jack or Bianca?

[Ish]

Bianca.

[Parks]

Why do you say that? Oh, for everybody who does not know Bianca is the MI6 agent that was chasing the Jack.

[Ish]

Not even close.

[Joe Budden]

Bianca, my girl said, oh, my God, that's the lady from the Woman King. And that's the lady from. And I was like, like. And I didn't see the way. Yo, when your girl talk she was.

[Parks]

Really doping the woman king.

[Joe Budden]

You ever have to listen when your girl popping with like a fact? Oh, my God, that's such and such from the wedded king.

[Queens Flip]

That sound like Spanish to me. I.

[Joe Budden]

What do. There was a woman king. So more fiction. Give me your socials. Give me a handle. No. So my girl says that, and I gotta pretend like I'm interested in what she's saying. So I'm like, oh, for real? Oh, for real. She was in the woman king. That's the extent of my pretending. Just repeating what they said. Oh, shit. For real. She was in the woman king.

[Parks]

She was great in the woman king.

[Joe Budden]

So then my girl expounded on it. She was like, nah, this was her character. And I'm telling you, she used to.

[Ish]

Be big and brolic.

[Joe Budden]

And I don't know what happened. She used to be so brolic. And she pulled up pictures and she showed me the pictures. So now she done changed my entire view on this lady. Because now I started looking at the lady, I'm like, girl, this lady is brolic. Now look at this girl. They tried to dress her in a.

[Ish]

Way to make her seem different. Brolic.

[Queens Flip]

That she, dawg.

[Joe Budden]

Did you see that woman's traps? These shits. Did you see her arms? Did you see her. Whatever this line is in your chest, the chest cavity, scaring him. No matter how they tried to mask it, you couldn't hide that. This lady was in a lot of shape. She was in great shape. Phenomenal shape. That's one. But you're asking why. Why do we say.

[Ish]

It's not even close.

[Joe Budden]

Why do we say that, Bianca? And again, hit the button, please. Bianca takes the daughter, puts the daughter in jail.

[Ish]

That's one.

[Joe Budden]

That's the start. Daughter dies. So then she goes to the daughter's mom, uses the daughter's mom to get whatever information, acts like she's still alive. Yeah.

[Ish]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

She's just using the daughter's mom now to try to get what she want. She get found out she died. Oh, yeah. She don't tell the mom that the daughter died.

[Ish]

Even they told her, let her know.

[Joe Budden]

Don't. So now she. The daughter done died. The mom died.

[Ish]

Oh, whoa, whoa. Before you go.

[Queens Flip]

You're a mom.

[Ish]

She's a mom. So instead of telling another mom that your daughter passed, you are lying to this lady, saying your daughter is still alive. And if you want to see your daughter, you have to do what I said. X, Y and Z for me.

[Joe Budden]

Okay? That was discussed.

[Ish]

That is disgusting.

[Joe Budden]

That's just one Then she got to the dad, made a whole bunch of promises today. We're not gonna kill your brother. Y'all only get five years in prison. All of these. All of these lies gets the brother kills him. Well, now. No, the Jackal did it, but they.

[Ish]

Didn'T want to kill him. Her instructions were they wanted him alive, but they still. They would have killed him, but she made sure. No, we take him alive. Yes. Okay.

[Joe Budden]

She was just foul the whole time. Even at the end, fam. What?

[Ish]

After the brother. The brother. Now you kill my brother? I ratted on him, so, you know, I feel fucked up already. Boom. Fast forward. That brother now kills himself. So she's responsible now for four deaths.

[Joe Budden]

She go to the jail to see him to make sure he all right. After she fucked him all up and.

[Ish]

Told him, nigga, I wanted you and your brother to spend the rest of y'all fucking lives in jail.

[Joe Budden]

He kills himself.

[Ish]

Yes.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, put her. Put her own daughter at risk when the brother came in the house and put the knife to her. Which is why dad, her husband, started wilding like Bianca just. Bianca wasn't right.

[Ish]

The case, the job was above everything else, bro. She had an out at the end.

[Joe Budden]

That's the part that bothered me the most.

[Ish]

She had her out at the end. Y'all ain't fucking with these niggas no more. Fuck them. Suck my dick.

[Joe Budden]

And then she got her entire family back.

[Ish]

Yup, she got her family back.

[Joe Budden]

Homeboy did what real niggas do. Went and moved in with the ex wife. You wanna play around? Hey, you wanna play all these little cockamamie games? I got some old work that I could go live with and be cool. She finally get her family back and has to make the decision when they call her and the daughter says, how do you know that you didn't already make the right decision just by being with your family?

[Ish]

Family.

[Joe Budden]

She said, ah, you wouldn't understand. Leaves.

[Ish]

And homeboy said it, yo, just go. Just do it quick. What are you talking about? Just go. Just do it quick. She don't.

[Joe Budden]

She leave. She don't go to cvs. She don't run the home goods. She don't run the city hall or somewhere that she might be safe trying to capture. The Jackal, she go to his house.

[Ish]

No, the nigga that you seen make a shot that nobody in the world could make from two miles away. A moving target hit the. In the. The Jackal, the revolving door.

[Joe Budden]

The Jackal killed somebody everywhere he went.

[Ish]

No, he ain't just kill, though. Just Kill.

[Joe Budden]

That's my beef with him. I had a problem with that.

[Parks]

What he.

[Joe Budden]

Some of them just tough to say because you're an assassin. Some people. He was just killing the old people. It did. It wasn't too. No, no, no, no, no. Not the old people.

[Ish]

That's not why he killed his gay boyfriend. And then because the dude knows he's.

[Parks]

Seen him, he said loose ends.

[Joe Budden]

So what? So what? You didn't have to do that. He was.

[Ish]

You confronted me.

[Joe Budden]

He was leaning in for a kiss and that dude was annoying. The gay boyfriend was annoying because he was talking. Oh, you haven't beat somebody.

[Ish]

You had to kill him.

[Joe Budden]

They be on your body.

[Ish]

He had to kill him. Joe that me up. He had to kill him. I didn't think he was going to go. He was committed to the job though. He had to kill him.

[Joe Budden]

He killed the cop that pulled him over and the truck driver had to too.

[Parks]

Interesting how you guys look at like his need to kill these people in order to preserve his identity. But her, she's up, Mel.

[Ish]

She didn't.

[Parks]

It was her job.

[Ish]

She didn't.

[Parks]

It was her job and her training.

[Ish]

No, it's not. That's wrong. You are wrong. If you stand on this lady right now, I'mma smoke you. You are wrong. Her job did not make her lie about somebody's daughter being dead.

[Parks]

Do cops lie in interrogations?

[Ish]

They don't have to, but they do. He's killing people based on life deception.

[Parks]

Sometimes it is life or death.

[Ish]

Her check is the same. If she don't do that shit that she was doing, her check is the same.

[Queens Flip]

Don't back down. Don't back down.

[Ish]

When I was in the street, one thing my always said, this is in the street.

[Joe Budden]

What he said, you want to get away?

[Ish]

You want to get away more than they want to catch you when you get away. Your life is at stake, your freedom is at stake. The cops going to go home and eat the same food. The same bitches got their mortgage and they check coming. They. They wants is different. This nigga was on the run for his life. Her check. And nothing about her life changes if she don't catch this man.

[Parks]

Okay, well, she's not exactly just regular law enforcement. She's part of MI6, which could basically be like the American equivalent of like the fucking caa. So they have different fucking training and they are taught they're. They are trying to apprehend a different level of criminal than just some regular street. So her training dictated she was a specialist too. There was A reason why she was in this unit because of.

[Ish]

Because of her knowledge about each child being dead as a mother. The things and the steps that she took were not necessary. I know, which means she's a piece of.

[Parks]

But at the same time ends to a mean. Same with him, everything was an ends to a mean. The gay guy, the old couple in the Winnebago, everybody was an ends to a means.

[Joe Budden]

No, the old couple means to an end. I should say the old couple was trying to kill him.

[Ish]

Mel, you are wrong.

[Parks]

I'm not wrong.

[Ish]

And this is where.

[Queens Flip]

You go back down.

[Ish]

This is where your morality shit becomes bullshit. Because one, his means was his life, her means was her job.

[Parks]

But mean. Wait, hold on.

[Ish]

I'm still moving.

[Joe Budden]

Hold on.

[Parks]

The other day it was his job though. What did he say to his wife? What is my job? To kill people. That's his job. But it was his self appointed job. He didn't have to kill people. He was in the military. And now he's applying it to killing people. Contract killing people. But she's the one who has like the lower moral.

[Ish]

Her job ain't to kill people, her.

[Parks]

Job ain't is to apprehend criminals.

[Ish]

Listen to this. When the police officers become crooks, they've crossed the line. When you start doing the shit to people that you took an oath to not do, you locking them up for lying and stealing. When you become a liar and a thief and you locking somebody up, you justifying doing what they did that you looking for them for.

[Queens Flip]

That's facts.

[Ish]

What are we talking about? When the cops start beating niggas up or robbing drug dealers, you worse than the drug dealer.

[Parks]

She didn't rob a drug dealer, man.

[Ish]

What are you talking.

[Parks]

She had an. She had an asset. The asset was the mother.

[Queens Flip]

She's not going, okay?

[Parks]

Like I'm. I'm not. Because it's the same thing. It's just. It's the same thing. It's just they had different foreign oaths.

[Ish]

To uphold the law. You don't hold the law in the crooks to the same standard.

[Parks]

Okay, listen, I don't work for MI6, so I have no clue what their whole, you know, mission mantra is or what her training dictates, but it looks, looks to. It seems that obscuring facts or omission of facts can go within the. It can, it can exist within the realm of interrogation. Especially when you have a asset you've been working with for years.

[Joe Budden]

I think kind of in summation of what I'm getting from Ish is at some point, it was her job to care about her life and she never did.

[Ish]

Ever.

[Joe Budden]

Not. Not her asset, not. Not the daughter, not the dad, not whoever she.

[Ish]

You treated this woman's daughter as collateral damage. That was innocent. You locked her up under false precincts. This is the shit we argue about where blacks get killed by the cops. The cops are the cops. They are paid to protect us, not paid to fucking kill us. So the cops and a crook should not be held to the same standard. She. This girl was doing a silent protest. They went and locked this girl up. Number one, under false pretenses. She committed no crime. They locked this girl up. She died in police custody. And they covered it the fuck up. At that point right there, Bianca is a piece of donkey shit.

[Parks]

Okay? And also, just to make it clear for everybody, they did not kill her. She had a pre existing heart condition that nobody was fucking aware.

[Ish]

If she's not in that cell, she don't die.

[Parks]

It's quite possible. Or maybe she dies right there, like sitting on the floor protesting. It was a preexisting condition. That was made clear throughout the whole series. We can agree to disagree beyond this point.

[Ish]

One time worse than homeboy.

[Joe Budden]

I want to move on because I have more questions. When the Jackal's wife's brother had the deal or wanted him to come do that, I understand why the Jackal killed homeboy and not the brother.

[Parks]

Well, because he didn't want to kill his wife's.

[Ish]

He loved that lady. Lady. He loves that lady. And not just that. I just need to test my out to make sure that my boat gun is working the way I need it to. That's really what it is. All right, cool. You know what? And he's a problem. Cause the wife said he was a problem. Okay, cool. You want me to get rid of him.

[Parks]

And he's trying to get this. And I need to test this out.

[Ish]

To make sure that this gimbal is working on this boat. Cause I'm about to go hit another nigga for real. So let me go get a test shot off.

[Queens Flip]

Yo.

[Joe Budden]

That was my other problem with Bianca.

[Ish]

Why are you chasing this? That's the dondada of shooting.

[Joe Budden]

No, I'm talking about the gun maker. What did they tell us that the gun maker ever did bad outside of make guns.

[Ish]

That's. That's bad though.

[Joe Budden]

Stop it.

[Ish]

No, you're stop. That's my point. That's the fake where you are passing judgment on a. That makes guns. The guns are used to kill people.

[Joe Budden]

Cool.

[Ish]

But you killing people too. You're supplying assassins and shit. Like, that's like an arms dealer right there. I'm not disagreeing with you. Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you.

[Parks]

And I think they said he was, like, part of the IRA or something like that.

[Ish]

Like, fam, you know that nigga was a genius.

[Joe Budden]

If you gonna.

[Ish]

Yeah, he was. Oh, no, he was.

[Joe Budden]

If you're gonna do that to him, then. Then I want to hear your take on the nra. Like, he was making guns. He himself wasn't doing shit.

[Ish]

It's a gray. If you're making guns for niggas that you know are illegally killing people, it's like you supplying a fentanyl for niggas that's selling drugs. Fam, I'm over here making specific. So you could get through the metal detector and go off some.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, I put this in the.

[Ish]

In the. In the carry on because I knew what you was about to go do.

[Joe Budden]

With it.

[Ish]

And told you, yo, this is 3D printed, so you're only gonna get about eight shots. You only got maximum eight shots. He said, Normally you'll get three, but because I'm me, get you in. Come on, now.

[Joe Budden]

That walking boot.

[Ish]

Show me how to put it together. The nigga start pulling the bottom of the boot, like, skis out.

[Joe Budden]

What? No. That was amazing. And just.

[Ish]

Just come on, son.

[Joe Budden]

Master class in. In gun knowledge once he got to talking with that gun maker.

[Ish]

True, true. Yo, you gonna be how many. How many feet away? All right, cool. So that means the travel time of the bullet is six to seven seconds. So you have to predict where this nigga's gonna be. Seven seconds after you fire the bullet, you told him you literally shooting into the future.

[Queens Flip]

You shooting into the future.

[Ish]

The turnstile was going like this. Once the turnstile door got past that, hit that smack in the back of the head.

[Joe Budden]

That's the one.

[Ish]

That was crazy.

[Joe Budden]

And prior to that, the guy that hired me. I'm gonna shoot you in your legs. So you are the person so you.

[Ish]

Know how to make. He did not know that at first. He didn't know that at the time.

[Joe Budden]

But he knew that that was the. That was how I'm gonna get the person.

[Ish]

I know you gonna. I'm gonna shoot his son in the hospital.

[Joe Budden]

You're gonna see him in the hospital, and then I'm for you, squat that guy. And in closing, because I don't want to beat the fans to death if they haven't seen the show.

[Ish]

Go watch it, though.

[Joe Budden]

I was just My problem with the Jackal is he was way too heartless up until episode eight.

[Ish]

No joke.

[Joe Budden]

Like, I don't.

[Ish]

I don't.

[Joe Budden]

Like just a hired guy.

[Ish]

That's not true.

[Joe Budden]

True.

[Ish]

Think about why he became the Jackal.

[Joe Budden]

Because that's episode eight.

[Ish]

No, it's not. Because Ice just said, yo, he killed his team.

[Joe Budden]

That's episode eight.

[Parks]

Wait, you haven't seen the whole seven.

[Joe Budden]

I've seen the whole thing. Okay, that is episode eight.

[Ish]

Oh, but the last episode is ten.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, but they explained is when they explained it, we didn't know nothing about.

[Ish]

Him killing his thinking it was him. Yes, yes, yes.

[Joe Budden]

When he was having those flashbacks of dead families and kids and women, I was under the impression he did it. So he was traumatized. But in episode eight, they showed us what happened. And that was the first time they showed us that he had a heart.

[Ish]

He was human. Yes.

[Joe Budden]

So then why the are you a hired gun?

[Ish]

Because it pays well.

[Joe Budden]

Clearly it didn't. It's two ran off on him. No, it does pay well.

[Ish]

What happened though? Had a drawer of money.

[Joe Budden]

They ran off on him.

[Ish]

All different.

[Joe Budden]

You had the brother take. You take your money. You let the. The girl take your money. The brother took the money and the gun. I'm watching that show saying, I need this exact setup that the Jackal has on his phone. When your stupid ass try to go in my phone, the Jackal start vibrating.

[Ish]

Motion detection. Motion detected.

[Joe Budden]

He said, I need that for when my girl goes.

[Ish]

I thought he was gonna say something. I thought he played that good. I thought he was gonna beat homeboy ass.

[Joe Budden]

I'd have killed the brother.

[Ish]

I wanted him to get up so bad. The brother.

[Joe Budden]

I'd have killed the brother.

[Ish]

One of the idiot that keep up. That'll get the whole. Which he kind of did.

[Parks]

Got everybody.

[Ish]

Yeah, he got everybody.

[Parks]

Liability. Yes.

[Joe Budden]

I don't like how Bianca died.

[Ish]

I do.

[Joe Budden]

It's corny. You.

[Ish]

It serves you right.

[Joe Budden]

The whole. This whole series, she has been the wisest one. She done called out everything that was about to happen before it happened. It didn't stop it from happening, but she done called it all out. So for her to play that game with him in his house like it was a quick too. He did that shit with a pistol like a deuce. Deuce was like in the dark. Get out of here.

[Ish]

The wise one, though is Asian chick.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Cause she got out of there.

[Ish]

Yo, what's my man name?

[Joe Budden]

Simon.

[Ish]

Simon. Simon, you said?

[Joe Budden]

Well, he'll call himself Simon. He will call himself Simon. All Right. We lose noise. If you haven't seen the Jackal, this is not an ad. It's just the only one they got got Jackal ad money. The rest of us, nothing down with us. He didn't bust a thing down. We just talking about it because we like the show. But he got new camo. Oh, that's not. Never mind.

[Ish]

Nothing I got on.

[Joe Budden]

I said never mind. I took it back. I took it back, man.

[Melissa Ford]

[Ish]

I'm not going to lie.

No, that's enough.

[Ish]

He.

[Melissa Ford]

He went. Absolutely.

[Ish]

He went.

[Melissa Ford]

He's incredible. Yo, they keep fighting these.

[Ish]

He went absolutely ape. My.

[Melissa Ford]

They're little. They're. They're artists developing.

[Ish]

A different level of rapping is different over there. That's a different level of rapping. You fans piss me off, though. I'm not going to hold you.

[Melissa Ford]

Why?

[Ish]

Because. Because the. This is control again to me.

[Melissa Ford]

This one or Joey?

[Ish]

No, no.

[Melissa Ford]

Well, Joey was kind of controlling too.

[Ish]

Yeah. I'm saying Joey.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Ish]

And what happened with control was when everybody started responding because it wasn't who you wanted to hear from. You deemed it trash off the rip. So I'm watching people. He killed this freestyle.

[Queens Flip]

He did.

[Ish]

And I'm watching people because.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, who is this?

[Ish]

Who are you to say something? No, nigga, I'm responding. All right, you taking shots over here. I'm gonna respond back. I like that. This is right.

[Joe Budden]

Rap.

[Ish]

That's what we supposed to do.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Ish]

People was mad at Joey Badass saying something. Well, because you want to hear it from certain names. You want just these names to talk? Nah, hell no. Let get their off.

[Melissa Ford]

Agreed.

[Ish]

I want everybody. Everybody shoot if they gonna shoot like that.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ish]

Let the rappers rap.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

Can we just praise good rapping?

[Ish]

Yeah. You complain about a lack of bars. You complain about a lack of rapping. And then when rap, because it's not the names you want to hear from. You want to knock it off the rip. That's ass to me.

[Melissa Ford]

Super ass.

[Ish]

Salute to Rayon for that salute. That is not at nothing near it.

[Joe Budden]

No, I know.

[Ish]

Yo, and he kept going just like that. Like.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, it's another two minutes.

[Ish]

That body just like that. That went crazy. I was like, what the. I was going to play that.

[Joe Budden]

Trying to figure out if I want to hear Joey Badass take time out his day and respond to Ray Von.

[Ish]

He need a little bit more time out of his day that he raps well. Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

When you do enjoy, Badass can rap. When you jump out like Joey Badass again, we debated it, but when you jump out with the too much west coast dick licking and west coast rappers rap at you. Not tweet, not Instagram, but rap. Yeah, I do want to hear you go back. You threw it out there. All right, I caught it and I threw it back. Now what's up? What we doing? I don't think Joey Badass's line warranted that.

[Joe Budden]

But Joey Badass could ignore Ray Vaughan and act like he's unbothered by this.

[Ish]

I ain't saying he gotta be bothered, but if I'm jumping out here with a claim like I wanna rap, what's up?

[Joe Budden]

He can act like Ray Vaughan ain't big enough for him to respond. He could do that.

[Ish]

I don't like that.

[Joe Budden]

We don't like when people do that.

[Ish]

Of course I don't.

[Joe Budden]

But people do it.

[Melissa Ford]

Of course.

[Ish]

They do it all the time.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know if he has to respond to Rayvon.

[Ish]

I'm not saying he don't have to do none of this shit.

[Joe Budden]

Somebody gonna make me take a little more time out with my pen, then maybe I will ignore it and act like he's a bum if I know I'm have to go put my pen in the pencil sharpener.

[Ish]

No, he needs. Then why do you jump out? He need a pack of. Why you jump out to begin with.

[Joe Budden]

Well, I'm not going. I'm not going to do that either.

[Ish]

No, I'm asking.

[Joe Budden]

Ray Von is nice. Joey Badass is nice for me. Nice don't mean you can dis. True Ray Vaughan. I enjoyed that. Good diss. If somebody spend all their time focused on Ray Vaughan, I'd like to hear how that sounds. And I don't know if I want to hear Joey Badass do that right now, is all I'm saying. I don't know if Joey Badass could do that. But y'all know I think that about the niggas that can rap. Like rapping ain't enough. Y'all gotta show me that when you focus on somebody in that. Yeah. That it's effective. I done been around niggas that could wrap circles around circles around circles. And this. Eh, yeah. Can't do that. Can't do that. You have a certain amount of venom in your heart.

[Ish]

I'm just saying as Joey Badass, when you jump out the way you did, you gotta be prepared for the onslaught. And again, the west coast is feeling themselves right now. They proud, they sticking together. So it's gonna be a lot more of those.

[Joe Budden]

They sticking together.

[Ish]

No, I'm just.

[Melissa Ford]

They are.

[Joe Budden]

And what is prepared for those men?

[Ish]

Just. You have to expect that I'm gonna get verses from. I might not even have thought would have replied. Yeah, because you jump out that way, it's gonna be somebody out there that hear it. It's gonna. It's gonna be. This ain't the only one. It's gonna be a bunch More of these that are just gonna rap.

[Melissa Ford]

West coast got pride, too.

[Ish]

That. That's what I'm saying. They, they, they. They feeling themselves right now. They're having them all. Especially now, though.

[Melissa Ford]

Always, though. Historically.

[Ish]

But it's higher, but yeah, sure. So now you went and did that. Okay, Cool.

[Melissa Ford]

Be on your ass.

[Ish]

And that's what comes with when you jump out and say something about the west right now.

[Melissa Ford]

I like it all.

[Ish]

I love it. That. That. I love it.

[Joe Budden]

No Ray Vaughn go that. And he did.

[Melissa Ford]

He's nice.

[Joe Budden]

And he did.

[Melissa Ford]

He's nice.

[Joe Budden]

Sheesh.

[Ish]

And I, like.

[Joe Budden]

I would take a shower before I would take a little something, a little Motrin before I grab my pen and paddle. That give me a headache. That's why I only dis Lupe when I talk sometimes. Back in the day, you ain't never put it in the bar.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah. Careful, it'll be a long day. Play with something safe.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Why would you do that? Got a whole weekend of activities planned. Like, let me just go head on. Shout out to Lupe, too. First rapper as professor. Professor at whatever he's doing teaching some class of hip hop at Harvard or somewhere that I'm not allowed in.

[Queens Flip]

Nine years. Wait, nine years. Prime Minister? Are you serious?

[Parks]

And his father was Pierre Trudeau, who was our prime minister. Like, when I was like a kid.

[Joe Budden]

Pt, pt, wait. Justin Trudea stepped in for Justin? Trust me, I didn't know he stepped in.

[Queens Flip]

You don't know nothing about him.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know who he is still.

[Melissa Ford]

He's Canadian.

[Joe Budden]

Pierre Trudea. Get the fuck outta here. Yo, how you feel about being part of America now? Canada?

[Melissa Ford]

You don't have to worry about your green card no more. He's good.

[Queens Flip]

Wait, listen. It didn't go so. Stop it, guys.

[Joe Budden]

[Ish]

[Queens Flip]

He's her.

[Joe Budden]

Bermuda's ours.

[Melissa Ford]

[Joe Budden]

I'm just lying on here. I'm just lying.

[Ish]

Venezuela.

[Joe Budden]

No, please, don't just make it up.

[Queens Flip]

He really said.

[Parks]

Trump really said he's going to make Canada the 51st state.

[Ish]

It's a big state.

[Joe Budden]

It's a big deal.

[Parks]

Canada's bigger than the us.

[Joe Budden]

Bigger than the US So we got some big stuff. And Texas big, too.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Deep in the heart of that.

[Joe Budden]

We already got big states.

[Ish]

Yeah, and we're a bigger one. Bigger than the country.

[Joe Budden]

No matter now.

[Ish]

Now it's ours. They gonna have some real estate over there. But now that's crazy, son. They fire back. You ain't hear them fire back.

[Parks]

Yeah, he told him over my dead body or something like that.

[Ish]

One of the ladies fired back and told the Trump, since you want to talk shit? Yeah, we might go ahead down to California, make that the 11th province. No, she said Oregon. She said Washington. She started saying other, but she said California first buy.

[Joe Budden]

And that's why they're gonna buy Canada. Yeah. Keep playing with them up there, they're gonna head right to Hollywood. C suite. Buy the shit out of Canada. Why was everybody in uproar? Because Trump and Obama was talking.

[Melissa Ford]

I didn't understand that either. These motherfuckers.

[Joe Budden]

Do y'all think that Trump and Obama don't talk?

[Melissa Ford]

All the politicians are friends at Jimmy Carter's funeral.

[Parks]

Well, yeah, I think the reason why is because the last time that we saw them interact with each other was when there was the transference of power and they barely acknowledged each other, especially Melania. So, yeah, they said at the transfer.

[Ish]

Of power, they had a really good conversation. They was laughing and joking.

[Joe Budden]

Who's Melania? The daughter.

[Queens Flip]

Trump's wife. Weirdo. Oh, my goodness.

[Parks]

The loser.

[Joe Budden]

I don't want him ever being no talk that involves especially Milan. Yet.

[Ish]

The.

[Parks]

Anyways, I feel like that's the reason why people just assume that him and Obama did not. And especially the fact he takes every chance he can to on Obama. The whole birtherism and whatever else, man, that was performative.

[Ish]

That was for work. Like, we sit here and on each.

[Parks]

Other on the pod, way before Trump even got into politics, that he was starting with Obama and the birth early.

[Melissa Ford]

Maybe that was him at the funeral, just being like, y'all just playing about that.

[Ish]

You know, I know you was born in Mozambique. I'm keep it on the low.

[Queens Flip]

[Ish]

Hold on.

[Queens Flip]

And I let that Twitter, that Twitter post that you liked coming at me slide.

[Joe Budden]

Me and you.

[Parks]

She didn't come at you.

[Queens Flip]

Listen to me. Okay, let's be we on the same page. You know, things are starting to bother me again. I'm being a little sensitive. I let it slide because we, we locked in. But don't, don't give me no hearts that you gave him.

[Parks]

What happened?

[Queens Flip]

Give me, give me a thumbs up or something. There we go. No, what I'm saying is that sometimes people come to you, Mel, and ask you to ask Joe. They come to me. They come to everyone. I'm pretty sure people, a lot more people know you and you don't say nothing to Joe. Like, do you be making up stories to them? Like, yo, he said, no, cuz I don't go to Joe. If ask me, I'd be like, yo. That said no, no, for the most.

[Parks]

Most part, I try to redirect people to Ian, you know, like I try and do the proper channel thing. There's been a one or two times where I've asked him personally. Yeah, personally.

[Queens Flip]

Got it.

[Parks]

And he shut me the down and that was it.

[Joe Budden]

No, it wasn't. It. And then you hit Ian and tried to get it off after I had already shut it down.

[Parks]

That's eight.

[Joe Budden]

She don't stop.

[Queens Flip]

That's what I love about her. She's not gonna quit like that.

[Ish]

That's what happened.

[Queens Flip]

Hot and bother, nigga.

[Joe Budden]

Hell, yeah.

[Ish]

I know you're talking about, too.

[Parks]

That's what's funny, right?

[Joe Budden]

You know? Yeah.

[Parks]

Anyways.

[Joe Budden]

Anyway. Anyway. Shout out to the chickster to Chiggy.

[Melissa Ford]

Sure.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Seen him the other night after Imani went up there. Got up there, started singing some Usher.

[Melissa Ford]

How do you do?

[Queens Flip]

How your money do?

[Joe Budden]

He did pretty good. I had a video of it in my phone.

[Ish]

I know you do.

[Joe Budden]

Come on, man. My favorite thing. My favorite thing is recording y'all. No, I know when y'all doing stuff. Nah, he did great. He did great. But then Trey Songz got up there shortly after now. Oh, yeah, that's the thing.

[Ish]

Damn, my bad.

[Queens Flip]

The energy in the room change. It went from, oh, he's pretty good to wow. Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

He was like, yeah, don't y'all talk to. He said it. He said, yeah. Amani started putting some ad libs on you got it bad. I had never heard. I was like, why he doing that? Oh, Trey. Oh, Trey. Saul's right there.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, he's trying to show out.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ish]

But let me get that mic, please, big bro. Move, move, move.

[Joe Budden]

Go back to your.

[Queens Flip]

This competition with the other seat.

[Joe Budden]

Go back to your seat, little bud. Let me get that mic, Mike.

[Ish]

Go ahead. What's your name? Actually, you can leave now.

[Joe Budden]

What's your name?

[Ish]

E, E, O. Okay.

[Queens Flip]

I remember when you was E major, E minor. Oh, you changed your name. Okay, all right.

[Joe Budden]

Wait, wait. All right. No, enough. What else? What else is in force?

[Ish]

Wait, what you say? Scissor said what?

[Joe Budden]

Scissor said.

[Melissa Ford]

Good. She said that she wants to fill out her contract.

[Ish]

She has two albums left.

[Melissa Ford]

Two albums left. Let's see if I can get the verbatim here.

[Ish]

She wants to make the last two albums. Children's albums.

[Melissa Ford]

I think I just want to make peaceful children's music and get out of here. Then go be a farmer and donate the produce to underserved communities.

[Queens Flip]

Oh, that track says it, man.

[Joe Budden]

That sounds like Scissor.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, for sure.

[Joe Budden]

Somehow I believe her now.

[Ish]

I believe her.

[Joe Budden]

I think she's dead ass.

[Parks]

I think she's absolutely serious.

[Ish]

They're gonna say, cool, nice night. We like these children's albums, too. Great. But you still owe us two. That has to sound like the last ones to count. Same thing. With Andre 3000 Children's, you can make.

[Joe Budden]

Whatever you want, but just like they.

[Melissa Ford]

Did with the Deluxe. No, that's not a. That's not a new album.

[Ish]

No, no, no. That's a Deluxe.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah. That counts towards that.

[Ish]

Yeah.

[Parks]

Is that why she renamed it? To try and fulfill, like, an album obligation?

[Melissa Ford]

Who knows?

[Ish]

I don't know. Like I said, I guessed. Even when that came out, I was like, maybe that was just the way she can get the new music out.

[Parks]

Look, I got small hands and soft mouth, okay? I'm doing just what the.

[Joe Budden]

He doesn't dribble at all. He doesn't have any free throws in the season. He doesn't have any assists until, like. But he's getting threes up.

[Ish]

That's the stuff we can't have. It's frustrating, I think.

[Joe Budden]

We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out, man. Oh, man.

[Melissa Ford]

Shiz.

[Joe Budden]

Mel, tell us what happened with Meg the Stallion getting her restraining order approved against Artoria.

[Parks]

I can't. I don't know about it. I'm sorry. I was focused on the fires this week.

[Joe Budden]

Okay, I can understand it.

[Queens Flip]

You can understand why Meg did that? I do, Father. Restraining order? Yeah, of course.

[Joe Budden]

Why?

[Queens Flip]

The nigga is in prison saying that she's afraid that he'll shoot her again and the next time she'll end up dead.

[Ish]

I don't know about that part.

[Queens Flip]

What are we talking about here, man?

[Ish]

Like.

[Queens Flip]

Like, you want the niggas in jail. Like. Like the dead, it's up forever.

[Ish]

No, not just that. Let's say, hypothetically, you saying about me because a restraining order, you can't say nothing. You can't do none of that.

[Queens Flip]

Ish. I'm surprised at you.

[Joe Budden]

Why?

[Queens Flip]

It's overkill, my nigga. First of all, the conflicting story, she's been caught lying like it's overkill now. Like, just let that shit die to me.

[Melissa Ford]

I'm in the exact same boat. Let go.

[Queens Flip]

It's over.

[Ish]

Y'all crazy as hell, Ice.

[Queens Flip]

Come on, Ice. Yo, they have it that, like, she lied on the. On the stand. Allegedly, she lied to Gayle, right? People has come out and said she haven't been condemned. Oh, she has definitely been. She has. I'm sorry, man. She has. But it's still like, it's overkill to me. It's like, now you holding on to the last straw, which seems like it makes you relevant, which is the Tory Lane situation. Like, you, Meg, thee Stallion, go make some music. Go dance on top of the Empire State Building or something. Do Something that's gonna make us say, oh, Meg, ask Joe. Put that shit on. Go fucking put some billboards up or something, man. Like, leave the nigga alone. The niggas making albums in jail. He fucked up. He may get deported to Canada. He can't come over.

[Joe Budden]

What.

[Melissa Ford]

Which may be. Not deported anymore. So.

[Joe Budden]

Coming home American.

[Queens Flip]

I don't know why. I don't know why. I. I just.

[Ish]

Victims do that. Like, they take that to the fullest extent every chance I get.

[Queens Flip]

Victim is subjective. I'm sorry, I. It's just. It's. It's whose side you believe.

[Joe Budden]

Leave.

[Queens Flip]

And we never get into. In this particular instance, Yeah. I don't want to take away from her experience of what she's experienced, but the shit looks shady from the jump when you look at it, Even with the court case, and he didn't go to jail for that. But public, you know, public perception.

[Ish]

I don't care about public perception.

[Joe Budden]

Got you.

[Queens Flip]

So now, on top of that, I think that it's making it worse doing that. I think the documentary that she put out, it looked a certain way because it looked like that she orchestrated when she wanted to react to the. Like, it's just a lot of. I feel like she should just let it go.

[Parks]

Did you watch the documentary?

[Queens Flip]

No, but I. I read on it. Thank you for. Yeah, I read on it. When they said that. Yo, when Tory Lanez got found guilty was a different time than when she found out that he was guilty. And it seemed like she was watching it in real time. That was something that was going around on the Internet, you know what I mean? But just let that go. Let the. Be in jail. Damn.

[Ish]

No, I want to make your life a living hell now.

[Joe Budden]

All right?

[Ish]

Every chance I get, I'm going to remind you what you did, and I'm gonna. No, I'm not letting it go.

[Joe Budden]

Got you.

[Queens Flip]

Okay.

[Ish]

And that's all right.

[Queens Flip]

You take this. You take the civilian to another level.

[Joe Budden]

Sure do.

[Queens Flip]

I ain't gonna lie.

[Joe Budden]

I With you. Freeze.

[Queens Flip]

Hey, listen, you stand in your civilianism. That.

[Ish]

Freeze.

[Queens Flip]

Come on. You know your family. You have some family members in the penitentiary. Freeze. Imagine somebody keep doing that to them.

[Ish]

Like, think about, like, now imagine somebody. What happened to her, happened to my sister or something like that, though. Since you want to take that angle. Imagine the victim being your family member.

[Queens Flip]

You right? Then you got.

[Ish]

And then how you want to do it, how you want them to.

[Queens Flip]

But then I will respond differently from you. Like, yeah, you're right. The right way would be to. I Mean, because we do see families. Even when niggas is on death row and we do up for parole, we do see families years later to still go to the meetings. So I guess. But I just feel like that story has so many holes in it, and it's what side you stand. I just feel like she should just leave it alone.

[Joe Budden]

Sometimes in the streets. I'm not talking about Meg. Sometimes in the streets, you leave the person alone to shot you.

[Queens Flip]

You can't say that. This nigga's crazy.

[Joe Budden]

Why you do. Well, you leave sometimes. You know that that's four blocks up that shot the out of you over there.

[Queens Flip]

Or you can act like you're gonna snitch and get paid.

[Parks]

Y'all gonna tell Mag's not a street.

[Queens Flip]

I go tell.

[Joe Budden]

I didn't watch that. I'm not talking about. I'm not talking about. I totally understand that bull that. That she doing. I totally understand it. I'm on both sides of it. I think she should leave him the alone. And I think that she should enforce all of her rights. And I think it's gonna sound weird when we gotta hear all of the. I haven't left my house in years. And all. You could kill me again.

[Ish]

Yeah, but we know that, like. Yeah, that's the game. You put the sauce on it.

[Queens Flip]

We put the ketchup on.

[Ish]

Put the sauce on it. You gotta do that. Oh, I'm in fear of my life every day. And I wake up with night. I have nightmares every night reliving that over and over and over. I'm traumatized forever. You gotta do that.

[Joe Budden]

I feel like none of the entertainers have songs hot enough for me to care about what they're doing.

[Queens Flip]

Right now.

[Joe Budden]

Right? Yeah, Right. Right this second. It's just dry out there. I don't give a fuck what y'all doing. Y'all got the slaps or what? Everybody doing all this Internet. Give me a joint. Summertime coming. You niggas should be February.

[Ish]

You gotta do the Internet shit now. Cause can't nobody put no music out.

[Queens Flip]

Why not?

[Ish]

This game is fucked up right now. There's a drought in music. So now everybody's doing everything else but music.

[Melissa Ford]

This is time to strike. Really?

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Good point.

[Queens Flip]

Right now.

[Melissa Ford]

Quiet right now.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

Ain't no big dogs outside.

[Ish]

Yeah. Push their album back because of L'Angelo Ball.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

I might swerve and I go, yeah, y'all better move out the way. Yeah, better move. Huh?

[Queens Flip]

That moving, Newly Angelo wearing baggy jeans again and hats.

[Joe Budden]

It's your bows.

[Queens Flip]

It's your bows.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, man. What else?

[Ish]

What else?

[Joe Budden]

What else do y'all care? That. That the Drake D. The Drake DM was real.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, my God, I'm so tired. I'm tired.

[Joe Budden]

Yo, the job ain't as easy as it looks.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, it's true.

[Joe Budden]

Like, look, it's true. Look what we gotta come in here and do.

[Ish]

We didn't care when it was fake.

[Melissa Ford]

Honestly. Care.

[Ish]

[Joe Budden]

I don't care. I don't. They was up last night, so my drink dropping tonight. I ain't going to lie. I like when do that. I like. I like when make you think something is dropping and you sit up all night.

[Ish]

Yeah, I'm not doing that no more.

[Joe Budden]

Ain't nothing come out last night.

[Melissa Ford]

Not really. I don't think I got a single thing.

[Joe Budden]

Has Lil Baby's album grown on anybody? That wasn't fucking with it at all.

[Ish]

Did y'all get a chance to hit a deluxe? Well, the additional, I think it's four records.

[Joe Budden]

No, it was at the hoodie store. Mel was contacting all the cats that stuck in the fire.

[Parks]

Just the cats.

[Ish]

Come on over. I got a home for you, baby Come home I got a home for you oh, boy.

[Parks]

So would, too.

[Ish]

Yeah, we know.

[Queens Flip]

Vince McMahon settled the case. Paid out 1.7 million.

[Melissa Ford]

What case?

[Parks]

What was the case?

[Queens Flip]

The sex charge.

[Ish]

He had a child.

[Queens Flip]

Oh, yeah. He had to pay WWE back some money. And I think in as far as the civil case, he settled with 400,000. Yeah, 400,000 penalty and reimbursed WWE 1.3 million.

[Joe Budden]

That's a dinner to him. It's my peppermint money for the week. Playing with Vince McMahon.

[Joe Budden]

Damn charges. Keep playing with Vince McMahon.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

What are you waiting for? Like you doing a trick, like you trying to keep talking and trying to.

[Joe Budden]

Catch me off guard.

[Queens Flip]

I'm on your ass, Gas.

[Parks]

You did say hour two?

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Let your shit off, son.

[Joe Budden]

I don't know what hour we're in. I don't go to work and just watch the clock.

[Parks]

I'm not watching the clock.

[Joe Budden]

You know what I Mean, there's a.

[Parks]

Benchmark prize picks marks an hour. So we are in hour two, are we?

[Queens Flip]

I know you want to shoot. You survive. Hot and ball to survive. So shoot. I made.

[Joe Budden]

No, we got to get a real applause for that. They were saying. They were saying. Hold up.

[Queens Flip]

Yes, man.

[Joe Budden]

Listen. The strong survive.

[Ish]

Everybody.

[Joe Budden]

Everybody's not strong.

[Queens Flip]

Everybody not built like that big male.

[Joe Budden]

Hot and bothered is still here, still rocking. I mean, revamp the whole ideology of it. But what. What it stands for and what it means, but a little shifting direction have.

[Melissa Ford]

To say about perimenopause.

[Parks]

What's that?

[Melissa Ford]

What Jadakiss have to say about perimenopause.

[Parks]

You know?

[Joe Budden]

Exactly. Exactly.

[Parks]

We edited out that question.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, okay.

[Parks]

It was very thought provoking, but I was just like, no, let's just focus on you.

[Melissa Ford]

Cool.

[Joe Budden]

So new direction.

[Parks]

Fuck off. No, listen, I wanted to strike an even trampoline. Listen. Suck a dick, Parks.

[Queens Flip]

Okay.

[Joe Budden]

All right.

[Queens Flip]

Whoa.

[Parks]

I wanted to strike a nice, even balance, addressing both men and women's health concerns. Concerns, okay. Sexual health, mental health, the whole nine.

[Melissa Ford]

What's our call? Androgyny.

[Parks]

Oh, Andropause.

[Melissa Ford]

Andropause. Did you ask him about andropause?

[Parks]

No, no, no.

[Ish]

You guys. Any of the pauses.

[Parks]

He gives me viril, you know?

[Melissa Ford]

Huh?

[Joe Budden]

What? Take that. Capital he gave you Viral Got Jadakiss, bitch. Hey. Taking off numbers through the roof after that little shit you pull.

[Ish]

Our podcasters.

[Joe Budden]

Can'T come in and tell the truth. You tried it, honey. But look at me now. Thriving without you. Just like I told you I would, right? Duh. Oh, my God.

[Parks]

All right, queue up the song.

[Ish]

All right.

[Joe Budden]

This hurts, does it? It's like what mama used to tell you, now, does it?

[Ish]

It's going to hurt you.

[Joe Budden]

It's gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you.

[Queens Flip]

Does it? Chop it up.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, let me turn it up. Let me get the bass up.

[Ish]

Take a lap.

[Joe Budden]

This one hurts. This one hurts me more than it hurts the listeners out there. Another show has come to its finale. Another one comes to its end. We're talking about improper improv, one of the greatest titles ever. Yes. Queen's Flip has decided to bring improper improv to its end. I'm gonna mute the music and let him speak for himself. But I don't want to be biased. If I play it for you niggas out there, I gotta play it for Austin here.

[Queens Flip]

Thank you very much. Thank you for the honesty as well, you know, because I'm pretty sure the Think Pieces is going to say Joe Button and the Joe Button network cancel improper improv, which was not the case. I think that I don't want to get into any other talks, but what it comes down to is prioritizing, and I feel like I have to prioritize and focus more on not saying improper improv wasn't important, but it just took a lot of work, a lot of manpower, more resources. And sometimes when you're here and there and everywhere, and if you say to Ian or the team, I want more power, it requires me to devote a lot of time to put that work in. So that was the mistake that I might have made, just not feeling comfortable with somebody actually leading me somewhere. So if you're ever lying on me now, they give me a week and a half. All week. Oh, excuse me.

[Joe Budden]

Excuse me.

[Queens Flip]

Siri. Damn, am I lying? Siri.

[Joe Budden]

Siri.

[Queens Flip]

Like, yeah, yeah, they give me a week and a half and stuff, but I just decided that I wanted to focus on the podcast, on a JBP and focus on some other flip the network stuff and move forward, man. Improv or improv was a time, and, you know, we will revisit it when the time is right. And right now, it's just focusing and paying attention. Shout out to Joe. Shout out to Ian for being understanding. And, you know, I don't want to get into too much details, but don't cry.

[Melissa Ford]

Don't cry.

[Ish]

Actually, you can cry.

[Melissa Ford]

It's the same.

[Queens Flip]

But you know what, though? I got an issue with y'all niggas, though.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, talk to Mr. Song.

[Queens Flip]

And my issue is that you guys use your powerful voice to on me a little bit too much.

[Joe Budden]

Never.

[Queens Flip]

You know, I'm happy that he played the song, but even these is talking that TMZ called on myself. I got a problem with y'all.

[Melissa Ford]

Wait, is that what did it?

[Queens Flip]

No.

[Joe Budden]

More improper improv?

[Queens Flip]

No, no. Y'all really said that. And it's like. It's like, why y'all doing that? Like, it's like, y said that. And. And I think it's unfair. I just think it's not nice. I think that you guys do things and you guys don't understand how powerful your voices are. Yo, you called it on yourself. Not everybody's saying that, nigga. See me the street. Yo, what's TMZ phone number? What's the. And I had to go. It's just. It's nasty.

[Ish]

You had to go to your saved?

[Queens Flip]

No, I didn't have to go to my saved, but I did go, and I had to double Check. Cause now I started questioning myself, and then I said, oh, hold on. I had to reread my mom's text, and I'm like, all right, yeah, these niggas are clowns.

[Joe Budden]

But what is going on with you? What's happening?

[Ish]

I don't know.

[Queens Flip]

My phone keep going off.

[Ish]

They know you lying. You ain't here. I got a question for you.

[Queens Flip]

What's up, baby?

[Joe Budden]

Who.

[Ish]

Who wrote your speech for you?

[Melissa Ford]

That's what I want to know, too.

[Queens Flip]

Ian.

[Melissa Ford]

Okay.

[Queens Flip]

Ian put it together and sent it to me.

[Melissa Ford]

I didn't read Flippish until the end. He said, suck my dick or something like that.

[Ish]

No, I don't see none of that in there. I don't want to queen y'all.

[Queens Flip]

I don't. I don't want to talk like that anymore to people, though. But, you know, Ian wrote. Ian put it together, and I just. I want to thank the team. I want to thank Joe. I just want to thank everybody for. It was a time, man.

[Melissa Ford]

I had a blast.

[Queens Flip]

It's. Yeah, Parks, you my man. That was the next chapter. Hey, to you niggas out there. Listen.

[Joe Budden]

Oh.

[Queens Flip]

Cause it's early right now, so I'm pretty sure that there's gonna be a couple of think pieces out. But you always gotta bet on yourself. See, I bet on myself, and because that you guys don't bet on yourself, you rely on other things to make you pop. Not saying that I didn't rely on the platform because the platform is amazing and is a part of my rebrand and is a part of me going into different doors, but I always bet on myself. So this blow is not as detrimental as you may think. I think that you guys count on the jbp, us and our real lives for content or think pieces, which could deter your identity. I don't know who you are. What is your name? I don't know. So at the end of the day, you know, we out here working and we out here going to the next level. Salute to you. And that's true.

[Melissa Ford]

You do have Imani spending the night.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah. Yeah, we do have Imani. Imani came to my crib, too. We gonna talk about that. Imani came to my crib and was disrespectful. My wife.

[Melissa Ford]

You smoked in there?

[Queens Flip]

No, my wife. My wife wanted to buy a pool table, right?

[Ish]

I told her, imani sell pool tables.

[Queens Flip]

No watch out. My wife. No watch yourself. My wife wanted to buy a pool table. I told her, no. Imani over there said, oh, that's wrong. Let her get her off. Let her buy the pool table. I will even help. Like, I'm gonna slap Imani in the back of his head, boy.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah. Don't come to my house inside with.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, yeah. I can't believe Imani did. He wanted to help. Like the stove was giving. He wanted to. All of a sudden, Imani's taking out drawers to help. I'm like, if you don't get the out of here, put your shoes on to leave my home.

[Ish]

You task rabbit. Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

All of a sudden, that's how you be doing that. Thank God, habit. I don't play around when it comes to my wife. She know better. But I see how you be getting women that same stupid trick.

[Ish]

Oh, you want to help?

[Queens Flip]

I can sweep.

[Joe Budden]

Mel, have we gotten any. Have we gotten any update from Joy Taylor? Had she made any statement about any of that Fox News stuff that's been going on, or has it just been quiet?

[Parks]

I haven't seen any statements. I think it's a statement that she.

[Joe Budden]

No, I was just reminding you of your question that you was asking, seeing if you were gonna get some coinings and ask it yourself.

[Parks]

What was it?

[Joe Budden]

It was. Hey, has Joy Taylor given any update on her situation with her Fox Sports lawsuit?

[Parks]

Yeah, I was asking. I thought that I'd heard that she made a statement about, you know, her being included in that lawsuit.

[Joe Budden]

The only statement I saw her give was regarding the fires. I didn't see her say anything about the lawsuit.

[Queens Flip]

And she was taking pictures, playing. She took a lot of pictures, I heard.

[Parks]

Pictures of what?

[Queens Flip]

Just outfits and posted it.

[Parks]

Huh. Okay.

[Ish]

That was her, or were other people posting?

[Queens Flip]

No, I thought it was from her page. They said that she was taking new pictures.

[Melissa Ford]

She's not allowed to take pictures.

[Queens Flip]

You are. But I guess when you don't address the elephant in the room, she's just, you know, living her life, so.

[Ish]

Some people don't address shit.

[Joe Budden]

Sometimes that's the best thing to do, man.

[Ish]

Keep it pushing.

The other man is dead.

[Parks]

He said him. He's dead.

[Queens Flip]

No, he didn't say that, but he was talking about something pertaining to the deal that was made for the Gulf of Mexico and why America. And then he was like, you know, it's Jimmy Carter's fault or some like that.

[Ish]

It was the Panama Canal, dude.

[Queens Flip]

Panama Canal. Thank you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Panama Canal. He don't know why. We don't know why. He gave Panama the canal, called it a disgrace. The man is dead. He's a good guy, but why did he, you know, I don't know. Why would you make a decision like that?

[Joe Budden]

I went home thinking about some. Y'all was saying y'all didn't feel. Y'all didn't feel at all weird knowing that about Nancy Reagan?

[Ish]

No, no, no.

[Parks]

Why would we feel weird about that?

[Joe Budden]

This is a point that we just know Too much about people.

[Melissa Ford]

Yes, I do agree with that.

[Joe Budden]

Want to know that Nancy Reagan's mouth was fired. Like, why would I want to have that? And the whole room knew it too. Horny ass nigga.

[Queens Flip]

I didn't know.

[Parks]

Did you by chance happen to Google a picture of what Nancy Reagan looked like at the time? That she was the throat goat?

[Joe Budden]

No. And why would I do that?

[Parks]

Curiosity, you know, because you have a picture of Nancy Reagan in your head and it's very, you know, the. The say no to drugs campaign. But back in the.

[Ish]

Might have still been a throat goat then.

[Parks]

Yeah, I mean, Ronald would know that.

[Melissa Ford]

At that point she was wolfing them shits down.

[Joe Budden]

Sober as hell.

[Ish]

Just say no.

[Queens Flip]

That's crazy.

[Parks]

We're fucked up. Okay.

[Ish]

That is crazy.

[Parks]

I mean, just curiosity didn't get you. Like, what did she look like?

[Queens Flip]

So you wanted to go back to.

[Ish]

See if Nancy Reagan was popping?

[Parks]

She was pretty.

[Joe Budden]

Amen, I'm sure. Nancy Reagan was a beautiful lady.

[Ish]

Yeah. When I first heard it, I said, let me see what she looked like back.

[Queens Flip]

You did.

[Joe Budden]

I know. That's crazy.

[Queens Flip]

When she was young, right?

[Ish]

I'm just saying to them Hollywood, I could see them being a little. I mean, if she got that, she got that. She got that guac. Guac. I mean, they don't go test that.

[Joe Budden]

I wonder what the throat going.

[Queens Flip]

You know, there's been a theory going around that women been giving head. Wrong. She probably uses the throat.

[Joe Budden]

Pause.

[Parks]

Hold on.

[Queens Flip]

There's something going on Twitter for talking about it.

[Melissa Ford]

The throat doesn't necessarily make it more right.

[Queens Flip]

No. Some women use the mouth and some women use the throat and they.

[Melissa Ford]

Some people use the throat very wrong.

[Queens Flip]

You think so?

[Melissa Ford]

Yes.

[Queens Flip]

When they close it like this, when they do the.

[Melissa Ford]

They just think that that's the be all end all, and it's not.

[Queens Flip]

Oh, so you like the lips too, boss?

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

How can a white woman be the throat gold and they don't have lips?

[Melissa Ford]

Soft tongue.

[Ish]

That might. Yeah, baby. What? They said cheek skin.

[Joe Budden]

Y'all need lips with y'all head.

[Queens Flip]

Oh, man.

[Parks]

[Queens Flip]

I'm.

[Parks]

I.

[Queens Flip]

I'm googling a yo, fam.

[Joe Budden]

There's.

[Melissa Ford]

There's different techniques that can be employed.

[Joe Budden]

I was trying to do a deep dive. I just. When I got home, I was like, yo, the whole room knew that about Nancy Reagan and was like ecstatic to say. It's just like, you know, yeah, it's cool.

[Ish]

Yeah, we've heard about some other people.

[Joe Budden]

I don't care to Know all of this about people like, I'm cool. Your man, what's his name? Alec Baldwin. Civil suit.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, yeah. I didn't see it.

[Ish]

Oh, they going to crack them, too?

[Parks]

Oh, yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

For sure.

[Ish]

It got to be a consolation.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

How much?

[Joe Budden]

Oh, I didn't see. Let me. I could pull it up.

[Ish]

They gonna crack him.

[Melissa Ford]

He was the producer of the movie, too. Even if.

[Ish]

Was he?

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah.

[Ish]

He got off on the other charges. They gonna have to level the playing field. He ain't get the criminal charges. They gonna crack his head on these.

[Joe Budden]

Civil charges for sure. No, he's the one doing it.

[Melissa Ford]

Oh, he's suing.

[Joe Budden]

He's suing.

[Queens Flip]

Who he's suing.

[Joe Budden]

I'm trying to find the network.

[Melissa Ford]

He's probably suing the Weapon Sandlers or something.

[Ish]

Or the network something.

[Melissa Ford]

Or it could be that. That's dope. They took a bowling. I love hearing a new hobby being employed.

[Joe Budden]

Oh, they got a bowling alley that's lit.

[Ish]

That is insane.

[Joe Budden]

Dog. Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a civil civil lawsuit for malicious prosecution and civil rights violations in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie Rust. The lawsuit was filed Thursday at State District Court in Santa Fe, where a judge in delight dismissed the charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin and the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins. Baldwin also alleges defamation in a suit saying that prosecutors and investigators intentionally mishandled evidence as they pursued the case. Case defendants. Yada yada, yada, yada, yada. So.

[Ish]

So who did he sue State sound like, right? Yeah, like he's suing the state.

[Joe Budden]

That's what it sounds like.

[Ish]

You can cancel Christmas on that one. I'm not mad at it, though. I'm not mad.

[Joe Budden]

Defendant's name in the lawsuit include special prosecutor Carrie Morrissey and Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack. Altwise, I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing these names. Along with. With three investigators from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office and the County Board of Commissioners. Yeah.

[Ish]

Now, I hope he wins.

[Melissa Ford]

That's crazy.

[Joe Budden]

Why?

[Ish]

Because we keep hearing about how prosecutors offices and law enforcement purposefully. You know what I mean, Create the narrative or mishandle shit on purpose to. To send somebody to jail or to keep the case moving forward. So if that's the case and they purposely did that shit, I think they should be held accountable. I mean, I'm just. Because the charge was dismissed against him. So I think it's just like a. It's almost like when you found guilty you automatically file an appeal. A lot of people do, I think in this instance, because my charge was dismissed. Now I'm gonna sue y'all for even charging me to begin with when y'all might, should not have, and y'all had enough evidence. I remember they talked about the Kobe trial, rest in peace. And they were saying that they knew Kobe Bryant, they would never, ever, ever get past grand jury. They didn't have enough evidence to get past grand jury. Like the girls, friends, testimonies and all that shit showed that he was innocent. But they said they kept the case moving forward because the town was making so much money, because all the restaurants was packed. Cause it was media from all around the world coming there. So all the hotels was packed, packed, all the restaurants was packed, all the cabins was getting, you know, I mean, used that. It was just generating revenue that they let. I mean, allowed that to linger on for mad long. And if that's the case and y'all had evidence that y'all knew could have exonerated this man to put him, his family through that, y'all need to be held accountable. From a professional standpoint, your job is to uphold the law.

[Parks]

Yeah.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

But like. Like when it. When it first hit. Because I eventually agreed with what Joe was saying when he was like, he should at least be charged just because that's perceived. Like if it were you on that movie set, you're gonna be charged and then cleared, which is kind of what happened in this case. So I don't. I understand him suing just because, hey, y'all already let me go. Y'all said it wasn't me. Now do I hope he win it? It does still sound like it's just procedure. No, it depends on what evidence they might have had that they potentially suppressed. It depends. But he didn't go to the suppression of evidence. We didn't even go to trial. I don't care.

[Parks]

It's true. But also, it's the reputational hit that.

[Ish]

He took you, your case that you just had. Right? Let's just say, hypothetically, it was a video showing what took place. Let's say they suppressed that video, right? You go to court, luckily, by the grace of God, you beat the charges. And you knew that they had a video and they purposely suppressed that video. I would be on your team to sue the fuck out of whoever suppressed that video. That video was the cut and dry for you. But let's just say they had the video showing that you was cut and dry, innocent, and they suppressed it or they hid It. Or they. You know what I mean, kept it out of evidence. And now you went to court and you went. You're not gonna just tuck your tail and say, fuck it, yo, I'm gonna put it behind me. Cause I won. No, nigga, I want y'all to suffer. Cause y'all purposely did that. One difference, though. He didn't go to trial.

[Queens Flip]

Alec Baldwin.

[Ish]

No, I'm saying. I'm talking about Alec Baldwin. It didn't make it that far. Cause in his case. I'm with you. No, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say. Well, I didn't know that piece. But even if Joe didn't go to trial, let's say Joe didn't go to trial. And they dismissed it and they kicked it out. Right? But you went through a year and a half of potentially not getting money, not getting jobs, or taking a career hit. Cause that shit was long. Pause. That Alec Baldwin shit. And now you know for absolute fact now in hindsight, that they purposely made steps not to bring evidence that could have exonerated you immediately to the light. I want them niggas to be taken care of. Yo, you all public. Your decency, my nigga. That's all you said about Beyonce. Now I read a little bit more. Now I'm in agreeance. Because I'm with you. The judge threw the case out because of misconduct of police and prosecutors. So now hearing that part. Oh, yeah, y'all was on. Yep, y'all was on. And, yeah, y violated my civil rights and everything. I'm with you now. I'm with you.

[Joe Budden]

Now I got to be on Alec Baldwin's side. All right. All right. Yeah.

[Ish]

Big ass.

[Joe Budden]

Free alley.

[Ish]

My ab.

[Joe Budden]

Go, go, go.

[Queens Flip]

[Joe Budden]

[Ish]

Thousand percent.

[Joe Budden]

What else? What else? What else do we care about Naomi and Cordae breaking up?

[Melissa Ford]

It doesn't seem to be drama. Bond. It sounded like there was, like, an amicable. Amicable, yeah.

[Ish]

She put her situation out.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Ish]

Thankful we crossed paths. We have this child. He's a great dad. And that's just it. We're going our separate ways. What are them statements before.

[Ish]

To keep the public out your fucking.

[Parks]

Business and to avoid the speculation.

[Joe Budden]

Yeah.

[Melissa Ford]

Or to bad signal.

[Ish]

Because now if somebody see him out with somebody, it becomes a thing.

[Melissa Ford]

Yeah, that's true.

[Ish]

If they catch him out on a date, it's. Oh, look, he's doing this behind her back. Because y'all don't know what's really going on. Okay, True.

[Joe Budden]

And if she Go out on a date.

[Ish]

That part. Yeah, that's either one of them. But I get it now.

[Joe Budden]

I'm a huge fan of both. So, yeah, they're a cute little couple. Glad that they did whatever suits their happiness.

[Melissa Ford]

Baby bringing the breakup.

[Joe Budden]

Whole room get quiet. That's why podcasting is whack. That right there. Cause you could say something just as simple as, hey, baby, bring the brick. I want it, and a room full of men.

[Ish]

But you know what I'm starting to think.

[Queens Flip]

Hey, yo, Joe. Since you said that, it was a topic yesterday you said that since you said that, there was a topic yesterday on my spaces pertaining that, like, when babies. Babies do make people break up. Because a lot of times when the woman is going through postpartum, the baby get a lot of affection. Cause a guy came up and said that baby get a lot of affection. And my wife wasn't, you know, she wasn't paying me any attention, which caused me to cheat. She said. I'm not saying it was true or not. I'm just saying it came true. He said that.

[Melissa Ford]

I swear, he was wild.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, he said cold stone. Cause he said. He said. His exact words was, yo, I went. And when I tried to touch my wife, she didn't want me to touch her. And then, you know, we went to the doctor and we discussed these things. No, for real. I'm giving a male reaction, and she's doing the faces again.

[Parks]

Yeah, not to you. Not to you.

[Ish]

No, no, not to you, man. Not to you.

[Joe Budden]

Not to you.

[Queens Flip]

No, not to you.

[Joe Budden]

From spaces.

[Queens Flip]

Yeah, I'm just saying.

[Joe Budden]

Repeating everything. He's laying so to me.

[Queens Flip]

No, but he stated that he went to the doctor because when they tried to have sex again, it was hurt. It hurt. So the doctor said, give it a couple of months, but she said that the whole dynamic changed. The baby was getting more attention to him, more love than with postpartum. He said that and went out there and cheated, and it caused for him to break up.

[Parks]

Imagine.

[Queens Flip]

What do you have to say to that, man?

[Parks]

Imagine a newborn needing his mother's attention. Like, imagine that. It's fucking weird, right?

[Joe Budden]

It's crazy.

[Parks]

Nuts.

[Ish]

Crazy.

[Queens Flip]

No, I agree with you.

[Ish]

The baby should be able to fend for itself so you can take care.

[Joe Budden]

Of your man, right?

[Parks]

Exactly.

[Melissa Ford]

Exactly.

[Ish]

Yo, little nigga, go get the bottle. The bottle right there. Crawl to the bottle. You be all right?

[Queens Flip]

Not being sarcastic?

[Parks]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Joe Budden]

Not me. Just put everything that the little nigga need in the thing, the bassinet, and.

[Parks]

Let him fend for himself.

[Joe Budden]

[Joe Budden]

Yo, let it go. That's the perfect time to go cheat. You should have your hands full.

[Ish]
