Move that. I ain't mad. At least he ain't just roll a towel down there. That's. It's a level of clout class. You trip over that in the front. Oh, no, I've tripped over it. Yeah. That device don't say class. And it's racist because. Who else you trying to not smell? That's fair. There's some people you might not want to smell. Hey. Hey. Sorry. Hey. I don't mean. I don't want to make it heavy. I don't want to make it heavy. Some is like by mistake. Racist or maybe not. Glad to be here with you guys. What's going on? What did. What the name is? What did we miss? Let's go. What did y' all miss? Yeah, it's about you. What? How was the trip? Well, I went away. You did? I went away. Full family. Went to Turks for a family vacation. Beautiful. Me, my baby, her kids, my kids, and my only sister. That's fire. Wow. This is. I love where vacations throw me off. When you say all those people, a lot of kids. Yeah. Where's the vacation? Now, I agreed to this trip, I guess kind of with co parent privilege, right? Like I co parent from my crib, like over the phone, FaceTime, some texts. Hey, yo, nigga, what I say, yo. Yeah, go see your room. Starting DMs, right? That ain't the. Hey, a couple days a week. Yeah, I mean these. So let me start with a family vacation and a vacation are not the same at all. Not at all. Two totally different things. So now this is the second time that I Took my ass out the country on a private jet and came back and needed a vacation. I need a vacation. I bet. Yeah. I start. I start with that. That, that's. Yeah, that makes sense. But for a family vacation, we had a blast. We had a good time. Come to find out all of these little motherfuckers have their own minds, agendas, personalities and feelings and don't really. They all broke and they don't really care about what's right, wrong, logical, not. They don't really care about nothing outside of their. Of them. Yes. Yeah. So long story. Long as hell. So I got a jet. Classy. Repeat that. Because I'm an introvert. And that's a reason. Let's create core memories. A rich introvert. Let's create core memories. My dad couldn't do it. Sure, let me do it. Okay. Okay. The whole house wake up late. These spend the night. They spend night in my crib. So now the whole house wake up late. But it's cool cuz I'm surprising them with the jet. They don't know. But I also did buy regular airport tickets that we just now got credit on. Okay, okay. That's some real rich. That's a different type of rich right there. Fake. Fake airline tickets you really pay for. Not even worried about. I got the airline tickets at a good reasonable price. But as more kids kept getting added to the trip, I was like, you know what? Let's just do it. See, that's when I'd have been sitting there using the fake whatever reason I can to get the insurance to get the money back. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. These little kids woke up grumpy as hell, late twirly for all that skipped the airport, walked right through the little tea burrow joint onto a plane and two of them had an attitude about. When I tell you my little sister and my baby's youngest daughter was sitting there petrified, saying oh my God, get me off of this contraption. My little sister knows some stats. Don't you know that private jets are way more, way more dangerous than a regular airplane? I don't know how we're getting back, but I'll swim back. I'll walk back. Whatever I do back, I'm never taking this thing again. This little tiny plane. Oh my God. I could see how they would be thrown off. Cool. But that, that led me right into. See, my entire story is just full of dynamics. Got it. Got it. This dynamic is when two 10 year old girls get together and. And meet for the first time and like each other. Oh, boy. Now I'm dealing with a 10 year old and an 11 year old. Click. And my little sister keep doing some like this. Clock that T, clock that T. Clock this, clock that. I'm like, yo, who the yo? I come up here and joke that we old, but you're not really gonna feel old until you get around 10 year old. 12, 14. I know. Clock some T again and see what I do to your little fingers. Watch what happens. Happen. Cool. We get there. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful place. Look like it? Yeah, look great. That's my spot, man. They hold me down over there. So we get there, we have a great time. Day one, Then we get to family dinner time. Y' all just at the villa the whole time, chefs and all that? The whole time? Yeah, well, some of us. I was waiting for this. I'm at the villa the whole time. Time these kids wanted to do stuff. Of course. Don't you know, after the first day, after day one of a little pool and just looking around and chit chatting, that's what we doing. So where we going? Right? Yeah. Where's that? Yeah, yeah. Wait, what? Oh, you kids don't know what vacation mean? No, they do. No, they, they do. They do. You don't know what vacation means. So day one, everybody's together as a family. My, my son Trey don't get in the pool at all. He just on his phone looking for action. Now I'm introduced to the 24 year old side of this tr. Oh yeah, 24. You never been nowhere. Brand new passport. You got the clips album banging through the JBL speak over there. Villa all the way over there. I check on the tik tok. He dancing. I a even know. Yes. I saw a video he put up. He doing all I said, yo, you thirsty as hell to get some traction, yo else nah my come swim with your family. These hoes gotta see this. He put an outfit on and started D. All right. Hey, my nigga, you got it Cool. Yeah, man. First day we get to dinner, family dinner. Jade's oldest, my man. Football. My football man. Yeah. Now he has Tourette's and I'm used to it. Oh, like for real? Oh, yes. I thought you was making a joke. I'm not making a joke. Are you sure? Yes. You know them football players. Yo, stop. But he has Tourette's. Oh, good. And he gets like a tic attack when he's excited or nervous or, you know, something like that. Again, I'm used to this, but because we in Turks I guess he was really excited. Do what I tell you. That's my man. That's my man. I just. Sorry. I can't do this. Yeah, I can't do this. He came down the kitchen. When I tell y', all, and that's the thing. He grew since last time I seen him. So he got a couple more inches on him. When I tell y' all that this nigga cursed that whole diploma the whole night. Like, aggressive, like. Like a football player. Yo, your mother should have never had you. Fuck you. You a bitch. I sent you right there, yo. And your mother didn't want you. Ed. Black people are like, what's going. Yo, you lost, Yo, I look to the side and I see said, wait. So. But I look up. I'm used. I've heard this before. But I look up and I see Lex and T.R. and Jimmy. So I do the right. I'm like, hey, don't mind. Don't mind. Like he has, but he is going crazy. Hey, your mother and your father and you ain't. And I look at Shade. I said, wait, he could say this stuff. No way. Somebody gonna have to restrain this little. And it's gonna take a couple of us. Yo, he's bugging. He cursed that table out the entire dinner. Now she get up, she put ice down his back. She trying to stop him. He's still going, hey, your mother's a bitch. And you. I know. Who the fuck you think you are? I'm. Wait. I would have been dying laughing at this dinner. Wait, what? This. My brain. I feel bad for him. Yeah. My poor baby. So I learned. So that's another dynamic, right? Her kids is a little more like, ah, God. My kids is kind of just like, okay, all right. That's what you want. My kids is just observing, like, oh, I bet. We'll take account. We'll take that into account moving forward. No. Right. Okay. Oh. Oh, that's the first night. Oh, my God. I enjoyed that. Thursday night, night. Friday night, Trey is up early with his club clothes on. Oh, and. And in all of this, all Lex wants to do. Huh? Huh? He works. That's the problem with him. Wait, anybody that is working, he want to work with them. He is helping them. Oh, yeah. These people, the staff that cater to you, hand over. He want to help them. That's dope. And when you. It's not. Because then when you tell them no, the button con gene kicks in. And anywhere he's seen these workers. Dad, I need to go to the room, brush my teeth. And I'M like, no, you gotta wait till they down. He's like, so the whole trip, he's just working? He's working. He's a cleaning bath. Got these cook playing catch. I can see how that B things come. Kidding. He dropped the lemonade all over somebody. He. So he's not the greatest worker. I'm looking at him, I'm thinking, yo, the tip is going to have to be a lot for this type of turn. He throwing. Glass breaker time. All right, so he's working. I'm just explaining y' all dynamics. I promise. Another dynamic. Oh, Jesus. So Saturday, I mean, Friday now, Trey's hitting that tik tok. Found the little shisha club. There you go. Let's go. Trey. You found the shisha club? Yeah. The car service is $150 an hour, and it's about 40 minutes away. We, as it turns out, it's cool. My pops is. We're on the peaceful side of Turks, the fun side. He got to go. He got to go over there to the fun side. And you don't want him to be alone, so the car's got to stay there for the entirety of his. So he goes. He go dolo doo by itself. Okay, Friday night, piece the scene. He comes right back. He's out for two hours, and that's fine. Friday, came back on Saturday. Saturday, I hear it Saturday. God would have it. Because God is good. All the time. All the time, man. His central air stops working in his villa. I gotta be outside now. Got no choice. Now. They have no choice. They can't fix it till tomorrow. They move him to Villa 14 by himself. I'll definitely gotta go outside. Oh, now I'm out. That nigga hit the TikTok. So he's like, tonight I'm taking Naim. That's my man, Mr. Tourette, taking him. We outside to the shisha spot. And we. Hold on. That could go. They could go 1, 2. Yeah. Hey, shut the up back there. Okay, Go ahead, go ahead. Let me see what we go with.

I'm like, boy, oh, that's your words, Father's kid. That's your words. That's you. He said the girls wasn't into that. They kept trying to me do stuff. And I said, well, stuff like what, son? He said, they made me. They asked me to put on some gray sweats and dwork. Oh. So now my girl started busting out laughing. What the fuck? I thought that he said something different, but she asked him again. Wait, you said dwork? Oh, dwer. That's not a dick twerk, is it? That is. What a. I'm so glad I'm old. Could you imagine this sh.

Any parent that is on 24 hour maintenance and raising a kid, God damn. How do you do it with these little demons? I be so happy. That's why me Ice come to work so much. Wonder why the shit look like this, right? It ain't look like this the whole time. My shit is all white. Oh, dawg, I could not wait for these kids to get back to their rightful. Then me and the 10 year old, me and her youngest is kind of. We got a little power struggle going on too. Cause I'm folding moms up now. We get to that. That dynamic like, yo, you sit down and shut up, all right? I'm folding her. No matter what you got to say, don't knock on this door these motherfuckers and they still will knock. Slide the door. Yeah. Oh, yo, they coming right in. Kids don't have no respect for nothing. I really believe that kids, they got some kind of tick inside of them. They know. They know. Well, I saw. They know. No, the other tick. Not that kids know when you folding them on. They know. They know. They come right barges in the ears. It's a scent. Oh, my Lord. Jesus. But anyway, so nobody went out Sunday. Everything was smooth. They went horseback riding or some. Some. We played Uno. Uno was great. That little shuffle. The card. Card swap hands. Swap hands. No, swap hands is cool. The card that say, hey, everybody put they in the. Shuffle them up and redo them. What shuffle cards. That's some new. That's some new ones. So the game is going for mad long three and four hours. Like Monopoly. It's the Richardsons against the buttons. I rig it so my son could win naturally. Now they mad. It was a good time, but I need a vacation. No, you need a. Yeah, I can see you took a trip. You ain't take A vacation? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I need. I need a vacation. Every time me and Shade do the spa, she get the masseuse. I want. And I haven't figured out a way to effectively say move it. Is that just one of those things where you, like, want what didn't come to you? Have you had. How do you know that? That's before. Because we go to the massage thing. She booked the couple. Shit. We go. It's two girls. Because we waited for there to be two girls. Sure. Okay. So I'm sitting there salvating over one, and she. I think she making some. I think she. I fucking. Me too. Like. And then they say, all right, put this blindfold on. On. And then you put the blindfold on. Or you go in the other room when you come back, and it's a whole different. But the massage was good. Should have cut the blindfold on. You could have just lived in the fantasy, right? You could have just. Oh, man, you can't play no more. Yeah, Just do as you're told in the massu. But good times. Shout out the Turks. Trey tried to get out on Sunday, too. Talking about some Noah's Ark. Oh, this is Drake's Face. Favorite bar. Sit down, lock yourself in the room. You're not going nowhere. But anyway, man, that sounds like you're. It was an adventure. That sounds like a lot. Yeah, it sounds like a lot. It was an adventure. Glad you did it. Oh, yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad everybody enjoyed it. Oh, and my favorite part about all of it is all of these are still here. Everybody. Y' all saw them? Yeah, we saw Ms. Morton. Legs. Fucking ugly kids. Everybody's. I saw your face when a couple of them came out on the balcony. You had that look like. Like. I ain't used to seeing my kid on a Tuesday. Oh, that's the look you had. Daddy Job. What the fuck are you doing here? Why you here? I text Sin yesterday, like, yo, we back on American soil. She was like, all right, dope. That's peace. Then it's that dynamic, too, the fight with the parent. When it's summer, parents check the weather. Oh, yeah. It ain't taking that kid back. It's over somebody. I meant to hit you Friday. It's like, whatever, man. Anyway, how about you guys? Nothing like that. Yeah, nothing like that's. Hard to top that. I went to Vermont this weekend. It's my first time in Vermont. Got out of here nice and early on Friday, so got there at a respectable time, like 11:30. Oh, that's dope. The last hour was terrifyingly dark. There's not a single light in the entire highway of Vermont, I don't think, nor cars. There was a traffic. You know when the goes yellow on the GPS and it's like there's traffic right here. It was just a car pulled over, but it was fun, man. We were up there. Aaron. Shout out to Aaron. It's his people's cabin and he listens to music like we listen to music where he. He djed or had the aux for the entire 48 hours. I was there and was playing all fire. It was the white fire, though. Fine, okay. But I got 700 new songs in my playlist. Oh, that's always dope. Yeah, it was cool. Nice. Nice cabin. We just kind of chilled campfire, drank Ace mushrooms, laughed our asses off till the sun came up for two straight days. It was good. Good times. Shout out to Vermont Sounds good. Sounds good. Did you get your prize picks in though? You know I did, buddy. Shout out to prospects. Hit a little lick, huh? Yeah, you know he did. Yo, a couple little things. Gotta travel more often. There we go. Nah, this weekend I took my mom's out. This was fun. We went to Nelly and Josh. Even Chingy had a show. That sounds fire. That's fire. Shout out to Jah. Just you and Ma Dukes. Huh? Just you and Ma Dukes. Yeah, just me and mom. Nice. Well, Nelly and Ja are two of her all time favorite rappers. Okay. So she had no clue. Little fast self. So she already. I was like, yo, I'm taking you somewhere. When she saw the signs and realized what it was, she was tripping. That's fire. So. And shout out to Ja. You know, he hooked everything up for me. We get to our seats. Perfect seats. I have to start with. I have to put respect on Eve. Eve's got a fire. But, but no, no, let me just. When I think Eve music, I'm always thinking the. The hard rapping, you know, Pitbull in the skirt. She called herself those records. No, she got pop smashes. I totally forgot that crowd. I want to say, say 60 to 70% of that crowd was there for Eve. I can see. Fucked me up. Like I'm like, yo, they on every word, every song. Like the. The people in our section was like, yo, we only came for Eve. We could go now. Oh, wow. And she went second. Oh, Jaws set was amazing. We did go in the back. I had a chance to see my mom be a groupie in an awkward not, but obviously act out like, you know, yeah. Fandom. Yeah. Yeah. And that shit was. That was the highlight of my. Cause you were there. No, no. My mom still don't understand that, like, who her two sons are and, like, the things we can do for her. Right. She don't get it yet. Right. So when I get her in these spaces and I see how she acts around, she's hugging Ja, hugging his wife. They taking pictures together, and she's like, this is the highlight of my night. Oh, my God. And I'm just like. That made me feel good. That's amazing. Hell, yeah. Cause you just like. Yo. I mean, it's freeze. Yeah. Something light for sure. You know what I mean? This regular. It's regular. I'm playing with him, but. And you know, we just sat and enjoyed the rest of the show. Who had the best set? Ja. Yeah. Ja, I'm not. I don't want to say nothing bad about Nelly, but he. That. That's. That was a bad set. Okay. What made it bad? Song selection. Yeah. Song order. What I got from this, I could be wrong. I didn't speak to anybody, but remember he got sued by Ali and the St. Lunatics. What it felt because they're all on tour with him. Well, no Ali, but the rest of the lunatics were on tour with him. This almost felt like, let me get y' all paid. Got it. Like it was a little more lunatic based. Highlighting the film. Got it. He did records. He did his records, but he kind of spaced out. His hits. Gotcha. Like, so not well put together. Yeah. Yeah. Not well put together. Just from. From what I expected. Like, even if I'm going to a Nelly show and he's the headline, I think he had like an hour and a half set or something. I'm thinking if I have to put the list together, it wouldn't have went anywhere. Like what I said saw. Like, even this. The. The. His. His finale record. I don't even know the song. I would know what song that was. Damn. Like, you played a lot of your smashes way too early in the set. It's tough bringing up Ja. Ja is amazing. I've seen him. I've worked with him on some last stuff. He's incredible. From the intro, every single song was a slap. That would be a headache if I was Nelly. Hell, yeah. That's a tough. Coming out after Ja. Who. Who looks. And Eve again. And Eve, too. Tore this down. And Nelly. It might be used to them country crowds. He been getting his country back. Whoa. Yeah. Well, this crowd look like a lot of that though. Yeah, but it's not that. If Ja Rule and Eve are on the bill and that's what I was and change from listening to you. I wasn't there. And I do want to see this shit show. It sounds like Nelly's show was still his. A variation of what he was doing in front of his country people. Like were you putting some of the hip hop smashes hot in here? Where was Hot in here at? Hot in here might have been like fourth or fifth to last. That that tells you where he. But it wasn't the. To me, Hot Here is the last record you do among black people. For sure. Close to close to. Like I'm not mad. If you follow up with something. What do you. What would you do last if you. If you. You if. If you Nelly Hot in here. Other than hot. I'm saying because I. Dilemma. Yeah. I want to. Energy though. That's too low. That's too. I want to. If I'm closed with their biggest record. I'm not sure what his is. I would imagine Dilemma is up there. It was up like he. He. He did do Dilemma. Ei. All of them. That EI was in the first. That should be early though. Yeah. I would want to. I would want to say what about Ride with me all early? Yeah, I would do Ride with. And it might just be tough for Nelly to do a 90 minute set. Like 90 minutes is a lot of minutes. Yeah. He still rocked it. Let me be clear. I just didn't like that's a lot of Nelly for 90 minutes. 90 minutes is a long time. Cause the time on your records during a show is not the time of your record. And again it's him and the St. Lunatics. So he's bringing out the St. Lunatics and they're doing songs of their own. And. And I do like how he mixed that in the set. He did bring J. Quan out. That's dope. Okay. I like that. That's fine. I love that. That place went absolutely crazy. Yeah. Nelly. Should it sound like he would lean more into bringing people out? And I just like my mom even she was like I ain't really like Nelly. Is it me? And I was like, nah, I didn't either. Nelly is still heat. But oh yeah, be clear. Still got heat. It's just the show didn't go like we expected it to go. Especially coming off a job who just every song was. I thought about you Flip. Cuz he played the. The wonderful record with R. Kelly. Did damage in there. It did. I bet it did. I'm sure it did. Yeah, it did. It did. But your song works. Except for when it came out. For real. I remember he was. He was on. He got a lot of flack for that record when it came because of all the 50 shit. 50 shit was going through. And I was like, yo, this is Def Jam. Was excited about it. I was like, this record don't sound bad. That record was just tough during that time. That was great, though. That great show. Had a great time. Shout out to Josh. Shout out to moms. Shout out to moms, too. Every song I played, every dance I did. Anytime I was on a vacation, like just being me in my own zone, one of them fucking rude ass kids would say, day. Oh, I keep forgetting. He from y' all from the 19s. Oh, he damn. And they're shaving like we a even had color back then. I'm so slow. I didn't even pick up on what they was saying when it hit me. Yo, y' all are from the 19s. I'm gonna smack the out of you. Kids is born in 03. Yeah. 06. That is crazy. God damn. With voices. Thoughts, right? Opinions on. This is a whole new world we in that we gotta share with these little. Anyway, the 19s. That's crazy. You from the 19s. That's crazy. That is crazy. How was your weekend? Then they were like, which. Which 19s 80s? Oh, way home. You way back in the 90s. Crazy back then. They treat that like it's the 50s, though. The way I be looking at when Mark Parents was born. That's how they look at that. Disrespectful to hip hop. That's how they look at us. You was talking about shows. I do want to shout out Tyler the creator. While I was gone, he was like, yo, come out to Jersey. I was going. But yeah, we tried. We tried to go. Me and park tried to. We tried to make that happen Sunday. We're not Joe Button. So it didn't work out. Nope. Well, you hear me? Well, so we hit Ian. Shouldn't have hit Ian. We shouldn't hit Ian. That's what we did. I know, I know. I read the New York Times piece. It did put me in Equ. Ian, like, call me, call me. We don't like to bother you as you're on vacation, dog. Oh, please. You called me for the job. Shut up. I was beforehand. I was here. Yeah. Oh, I want to go to jail. Me too. Hell of a fantasy football player. Jai is too. Shout out to fantasy football. Coming up. Counting down. Counting down. Mark, do you do fancy football? Nah, I don't watch football. You don't watch football? You are you, you. And he watches PBS and all that to get his name. Pbs. Actually, there is a talk to be had about. There's a talk to be had. Mark, I'm sure you have some input about the dude homeboy that was walking around Park Ave yesterday with the assault rifle. Yeah, shit. You know, I was like a block from him. Oh really? It was me and Ian. Well, so what happened was we were so those people that don't know there was a shooter we could cover later. You wanna talk about it now? Fuck it, we're here. I mean, I think it's pretty important. In New York City. There was sadly a mass shooting. A guy mentally ill was. He entered a building, I think it was 345 Park Avenue and open Blackstone building. Blackstone building. Apparently, according to what I've heard most recently he thought he was going to the NFL building. Which is there. Which is there. He got up on the wrong floor, I should say. He went to NFL office. He was in the right building, wrong floor. But he ended up opening fire. He killed a New York City police officer, Bangladeshi dude, family, the whole thing. And injured other people before taking himself out by gun. It was absolutely tragic. Ian and I were in New York shooting the Mark and Ian show and we shot at him. I went to mark show, tomato, tomahto. And we were at the Patreon offices. I'll tell you about that later. He took you to Patreon, they had some talks, don't worry about it. And we had like a five hour break cause Ian doesn't know how to schedule B. So my son was with me and he's a crazy person. So I couldn't take him to the meeting. Sure. And so my daughter actually came up from Philly and watched him in my office. And when I went back to meet up with them, she said, let's go to Park Avenue for lunch. There's like a little market right up there. And we were going up there and we literally would have been right where the active shooter was. And the only reason we weren't was cause I was walking up Madison Avenue with my crazy ass son. And as I was trying to pull him out of a store, a bird on me. Good luck. Yeah, that's what that. It never feels like it. Whoever said I think some got got bird on. So I just want to console him. And that just became like a old wild. Are birds blind? Because on Vacation while sitting down. Hell no, they not blind bird. If I'm sit sitting right here, a bird rammed dead smack into the glass. Maybe right here from where my head is. And ended his horror whole existence. Rains everywhere out here, remember? Yeah. Right here on the balcony. Yeah, they'll do that sometimes. They can see good. They can't see the glass, so they don't see glass. They see colors. I tell you that. Thought I got shot anyway sometime. So anyway, so the bird shot on my. On my elbow. And I'm. I hate everything, Jeremy. So I like ran into a store or a restaurant and was like, yo, can you. Can I please use your bathroom? She was kind of like, no. I was like, what bird? I'm. She like, oh, yeah, go ahead, use it. And after I did that, that. I was like, it's 95 degrees. I don't feel like walking like 45th and Park. Let me just see what the menu is. I looked at the menu, the menu was fine. So we ended up staying at 37th and Madison. See, it was good luck and eating lunch there. Yeah, that's my point. And had that bird not shit on me, we would have been right there and God knows what would. What would have happened. So it was like just a stroke of luck that we missed it. So I feel today I'm feeling very, very fortunate to be alive. Not to say I would have got hit anyway, but you just never know, you know what I'm saying? I won't be nowhere near it because it's terrifying. You know what I mean? My heart goes out to everybody who was there and had to witness that. My heart goes out to that police officer that lost his life. Absolutely. It's awful. He was literally trying to say, you know, when you're trying to save people, whatever. I think about police officers as a job. There's human beings. And when you're making your job to keep people out of harm's way and you get killed, especially by someone, you know, something that was so senseless, it's heartbreaking. My heart goes out to his family. It's, you know, everybody. Yeah, no, it was horrible. All around. All around. There's many conversations to be had. There's the mental health aspect of this. Yeah. They're saying that he left a note saying that, hey, the NFL and Roger Goodell and CTE are responsible for this act. Yeah, he was 27. He was young, 27. Yeah. Drove from Vegas. Vegas, yeah. Drove cross country Vegas to New York. Right. Had a Vegas permit for his weapon, had a bulletproof vest. On and ultimately took himself out. I always hate those stories too. When you taking people away from their families and then you take yourself out. I said that last night. Yo. I never liked that. It feels cowardly to me. And I know it's a mental health issue. I shouldn't think about it that way. But just the human part of me is like, that's where you're conflicted. That's where it gets tough. Yeah. It's like, fuck that guy. Cause you want to believe that. I mean, if you believe in the mental health crisis, I don't know how you hear the story and not acknowledge that that is a real mental health problem. To drive cross country and commit this type of act. Yeah. Stewing on it for however many days probably. Right. Just straight. It says like 30. Some odd 37 hours or something. Right. You know, you didn't do that. Wanting to write a note. Write a note. And then there's this new thing. Not new thing. Let me not say that. But since Luigi. There seem to be more cases of people attempting to do some just horrific act in the name of justice. Yes, in some sort. Right. So how do you deal with that? That's not just. You want to let the mental health people know that there are people that are aware of this whole CTE thing and are handling it the way it should be. Listen, Calvin Johnson, one of the greatest all time retired early. Will Smith did the movie about it. There's some weirdness on it, but there's way too much money made in football for them to ever really give a about this. Right. In the movie. Movie. In the Will Smith movie, which I was a concussion. Concussion at the end, they said like the way the movie ends, it comes up that the NFL agreed on something and they would. Part of the. Part of the settlement was that they never have to officially acknowledge cte. Right. Or something like they're able to keep their hands clean. Yeah, we acknowledge this, but officially we can still distance ourselves from it. Exactly. They said he requested for his brain. Yes, he said CTE study my brain, please. I'm sorry. That was his quote. My only thing with that is I believe him. I believe you. I believe that you believe that this is a mental health CTE thing going on. I got it. Stop playing. Right. Well, that's going to be my point is that while it's fair and reasonable to criticize the NFL for how they handle it because they've had handled it horribly historically and don't treat players right in general guaranteed contracts and all that, there is also the side of the players that still want to play despite having multiple concussions. I see it with Tua, right? You know what I mean? Like, and I can't blame him if you're gonna, in his case, be looking at a quarter of a billion dollars in. In salary alone. See, that's the thing I argue about with Ish when we talk about the billionaire thing is like, well, yeah, there will be people in other countries that will do bad jobs because they have no other choice, right? A kid will do child labor because the NFL doesn't have the guaranteed contract. You're put in a situation where you have to choose between making this money or getting your brains fried. They shouldn't be allowed to make that choice. You know what I mean? And the way to do that, not to infantilize them, but just to say, hey, let's give people guaranteed contract. Let's give people healthcare. Let's give people things they need. It's a fucked up. It's a fucked up system. On a different note, or maybe a slightly brighter note, this weekend I did make it to Cleveland. Cleveland, which normally isn't fun, but I had no disrespect to Cleveland. I just normally am in and out, right? But I got to spend 24 hours there almost. And it was the 10th commemoration of the Movement for Black Lives, which sounds crazy to me that people started running around saying Black Lives Matter 10 years ago. Like, the time is moving. Mike Brown was killed in August 9, 2014. So that's 11 years ago. Y' all remember? So. But it was good to be somewhere with a bunch of organizers and activists where nobody died, where we were there to commemorate the work and to celebrate. And the Movement for Black Lives isn't the Black Lives Matter organization. It's all the grassroots movements around the country that have been fighting. So the ones local, the ones national, it was hundreds of activists. It was kind of like a family reunion. Seeing people who you usually only see on the protest line, and it was like a fancy affair. People had their best clothes on. People, performers. That's fly. It was so dope. It was a good time. I was supposed to go see the cash money the 30th. The day of the 30th anniversary tour going on. They were in Cleveland that night, like a block from where I was. But I had such a good time with the activists and the organizers. We were just vibing. I didn't even walk over to the show. I regret not seeing the show, but it was such a good time and just let people Know, the movement is still alive and people are still fighting, and it's just a lot of good shit happening in the world. It's not just bad, bad news. People are really making changes out there. So it was just good to see. And it was good to just be in Cleveland for a long time and just see. I got to go out and see people and see the culture a little bit. Cleveland's dope. If you can have a great time moving around out there, it's great, man. I still have a good time in Cleveland. I still wish I could have seen the show, right. Because I heard some people. I bumped into Chris and Neef in the hall in the lobby, and I didn't realize they were performing there. I didn't realize who else was open. Someone told me Jeezy was there, but then I heard he wasn't. And that's what kind of made me stay where I was, too. Like, if Jeezy ain't there, I'm not going to. Got it. Just because that would have been like, the extra, extra piece. But it was. It was dope, man. I heard the show was great. See, Walker has SeaWorld lit. He turned it up. Yeah, he got a whole catalog of that. Yeah, like, that's. That's one. Workers lit SeaWorld and put the whale. We got SeaWorld. We were familiar with your game. Yo, we. We kind of seaward at first. No, we did not. We are a team, Joe. But. No, we are a team, Joe, but I'm only a team when it's convenient for me as a. I didn't cloud SeaWorld. I knew them niggas had a bag. You said it. And if you just keep going over there. Listen, white people like the slaps. And you getting the right people with slaps. That's my thing. And they, like, the first video we saw was Yin Yang Twins. And people try to make it seem like, oh, because you doing SeaWorld, you fell off. But I'm like, hey, they got slaps. Yeah. And the people are with these slaps. Yeah. Yeah. That's all that matters. Those people wasn't there for the TVT era. Yeah, yeah. TVT ran this shit. Yeah, sure did. Wait till. Wait til Lil John get over there. I don't care how they look today, they're one of them. That's my man. Stop. You're not talking like it. No, but I said this when I went to. I almost cried the first time I went to the Millennium Tour and them niggas came out. I cry like, I love hip hop, too. Much, bro. I can't see my nigga. Headlines was with Stone. All right. It. What? That's his, man. Hey, yo, you got. I got to look at other performances now. The way Waka had it turned. I'm sorry. I mean, I love. But that's not a fair barometer either, though. No, that's not a fair barometer. I get what you're saying, but we were. Look, we were questioning the Internet, looking at Fat Joe performing at Sea World and then looking at waka performing in SeaWorld. I don't think they should be compared. They should not be compared. Walker's set is for pandemonium. Mosh pit chaos. True. Exactly. Fat Joe chilling a little bit. Yeah, he's. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, see where we got the bag, Yo. Speaking of shows, though, I looked while I was down there at the Nelly and Joshua, I looked to see what else is coming. Bone Thugs in Harmony, three six, Mafia, Tech nine, DJ Quick. I was like, quick, too, and Quick. I want to be in all of those. No, that's one show. You always said that's one show. That's one show. Oh, no. I was like, I gotta let Parson. Yeah, yeah. So we might have to go down there. We gotta make up this. Tyler, we out. Y' all see Quick still shading Dre on the instant and liked it. He shading them. Yeah. He can't always. Somebody. Somebody said Quick is who y' all think Dre is. Something along them lines. And, you know, just. Just Quick. Little double tap. Shout out to Quick man. One of the most underrated producers.

Step correctly though. The streets are saying that you've lost a few points on your Chris Brown license as a breezy fan. Man, I was in Turks just listening to the pod. We a talk about the the record that falls on nobody but the but freeze and that rhymes with breeze it R. You are the only person now I was in. I waited up for this record because I heard the. I had heard the snippet snippet boy. And when it hit, it hit. It was on repeat for me. I argue that this might be the best R and B song released this summer. The record is amazing. This might be Chris Brown's best record since no guidance. Oh wow. Damn. This is Chris Brown with one of those. And he's trying to play it cute and subtle like, yo, I'll let y' all hear this. Y' all was requesting this one so I let it out. No, no. And that is a lie. He knew. So we gotta do this real quick. New breezy. Ah, right in time on the summer tip. Talk to him. Pause, pause, pause right there. And that's what let you know that this is one of those. Yeah, yo, when Chris get on and just start dirty macking ver from verse one. No, he think, yo, this dick is better than the dick you had before. And he tried to croon it so he just oh, you can't Call for help from here. Even though that line can be tricky now. But when. When you had that consent. Oh, when you got that consent, you screaming, yell, can't call for help from it. Folding it up. Oh, man. Hold up a few things about this record. I already told y' all how amazing I think this record is. This record is it. And I'll listen. I'll get vulnerable for a minute. Jozzy came up here behind the scenes. She played the record with her and Chris Brown Brown. It was absolutely heat. It was absolute heat. Jozzy and Chris Brown, she sent it to me. I have it. I'm not supposed to tell nobody about it. I let that slide. Then I went to the studio with Berg. Berg started playing crazy records. One of them was Chris Brown and Janae. It's Heat. I told him to send it to me. I have it. Not supposed to talk about it. I'm not supposed to talk about it. So hearing him do this, knowing that those other records exist, he's about to do something different, this boy. Yeah. And I like the timing of the drop. The US Tour starts with today, so. Yeah, let me put this one out. He know what time it is. He know what time it is with this record. I'm telling you. Also, I want to say, if you are calling Bryson Tilly Tiller to feature on your R and B song, and it's hot outside, be careful. Be very cautious. Bryson Tiller is my type of toxic. He's a real adult, 40 year old type of toxic. You know how toxic you gotta be. The out toxic. Chris Brown. Bryson took off Bryson 8. Clock that. What did you clock? That TV you got clock. Listen. No, no, no, no, no. This song made me go back to Bryson album. Old Chris albums. You just know that the Usher remix is coming to this. You just know Usher remix is coming to this. Let's go. Know what you need at night, bro? What you want to do? I already let you go free at night. See, that's a different level of Dirty Mac. That's not yo, my dick is better than the dick you had. That's yo. You can get away from him. Come on. Hey, you ain't got to leave them. But after round 12. Oh, my God. Oh, no. This is sick. Anytime a stopped the record to breathe, if a put breathing in the record, he took off, dog. There's a bridge on this record. It seemed like this record would end right here. 2 minutes, 30 seconds, like the kids do. There's a bridge on it. This bitch is four minutes long. The song. Oh, shit. That Sound like ancient song from the 19s. A song from the fucking 19s. What wasn't made for the day? 4 minutes and 10 seconds. You could really fuck to this motherfucker and be done. Nah, listen. Chris Breezy. Chris Breezy. Hey, the real know. This is right up there. With warm embrace. This is up there. I'm done after this. I'm done after this. I promise. Oh, God, this is crazy. This is sick. My girl got to be tired of this. She got to be tired of this with me. This was my only break from them kids waking up at six in the morning to go outside with my coffee and this Chris Brown record. This record is out of here. Yeah. This absolutely gone. Take my word for it. I like my word for it matter. This is hot. This is gone. I like it a lot. Gone, gone, gone. This record, Shout out to Chris Brown. Shout out tiller y' all did it. Are you crazy? And Puff just sent the eyes out too. Puff's in the eyes out. Freaky ass. What is wrong with that man? Yo, take his tablet. That sent the eyes out and deleted it. I'm like, oh, you know, I see. That's. I'm seeing you. I see. That's a wild way to hit the scene with the eyes. Just let know I'm around. I see. He said, talk to your man. Yeah, Tell. Yeah. That switch his whole out. He went from having the afro like carrot to braids. He said, ah, yeah, we. We see you. I want to big up the Freddie Gibbs album with Alchemist Alfredo 2 too. But I do want to g check the Internet as well. While I was gone, I was reading. That includes us. I don't know if it includes y'. All. I put a stop to that one up here. I thought. I don't know about that. Y' all said that you put a kind of stop on it. I know I put a stop to it. I said it doesn't have the depth of. Yeah. Of clips. But the Internet is like, y' all crazy. Internet. Rest in peace, Dallas. Internet to combat. Jack, slow down. Relax. It's okay. It's a very good album. It's a very. It's a very good, very, very album. I like it. I think Alchemist showed his ass od. They both showed their ass. Both did. I don't know that this is better than Alfredo1. I don't. I like this better, though. Yeah. I like. I don't know that it's better than Alfredo 1. I gotta listen to it some more. I don't know if it's better than the chains in June album the Alchemist also put up this year. I have to go back to that if you want to keep it 20, 25 to go back to it too. Chains is somehow underrated, but one thing I can tell you is I see what y' all are trying to do with this and the clips album and Stop. Yeah, you don't got to do that. Stop it, stop it, stop it. Whoever's doing it, I don't know who's doing it. Cuz I was in Turks. It's really good. I was in Turks. It's very good. And it's a little bit apples and oranges. Just this is a little bit more straight ahead just kind of rapping hip hop shit. That's what I love about it. Yeah, that's what I love about it. Some people want that. Yeah, for sure. That's what I want. That's why I love the way I put it. And not to say that clip something's not hip hop. I'm just saying this one's a little more like freestyle. Hands on the wheel, crossing the state line, nigga. Dumb diddy. Dumb diddy, dumb. The fuck are you talking about here? Well, let me ask you if we went old school source style. Are you saying clips is five mics? I don't know. It's hot take. That's not such a hot take. I have that clips album. Winning album of the year. The Grammys album of the year or rap album. Of what? Rap album something. Rap album. One of them. No, no, no. Not album with Taylor Swift and on. I'm talking about rap album. Yeah, that clips album. That clips album is winning album of the year. I don't know that it got to go against gnx. I wouldn't give a who we got to go against. I wouldn't give a who we got to go against. They done G. They didn't showered Kendrick with enough. You might be right. By the time we get to next year, the moving they doing. The Kendrick show should be over. Should be. We done gave him everything already. Yeah, we. We did gnx. We got it. This album I think continues this podcast is run of hosting the rap album of the year winners with killer Mike. And who won last year? We had him up here too. Whoever won last year. Don't you last year? Yeah. This we will continue our streak of having having the award winners up here. That eclipse album is winning. It's a really good. I could see that. I don't know. I could see it. Not even just in terms of how good the album is. And I'm not. Again, I don't want to step on. It is an amazing album. It is the best rap album to me. But it's a lot of politics that go involved with Grams and the moves that. That's why they're gonna win. You know how I might be rolling with this? When I was at my white people party this weekend in the woods, and they're playing all the rock, independent rock that slaps happen. All they want to do is stop and talk to me about the Clips album. It really is a cultural moment. It is. Yeah, it is. People are talking about this. It was the first album my son played when we got in Turks. I heard that album in Turks. Just driving around. There are people discussing this. They still doing all the grassroots. They are block parties. They popping up everywhere. They got the Chappelle. I think that. Yeah, the Chappelle. I think that they did late night one, they said with one of them. I also think think this is the trade off for the HOV verse. We don't get a whole verse, but HOV is making a phone call. Behind the scenes. You are. This is a Roc Nation release. He's back there calling somebody. Steven Victor is back there calling somebody. We see clips and think street drug dealer. No, them niggas is. This is different. Yeah, this is very different. And they might bring Stevie out on stage. Do Birds Don't Lenny Kravitz. Yeah, yeah, but y', all, I feel like we talking about two different things. Like, is it gonna win album of the year? Yeah, I will put my money on that. I would say. Yeah, but is it the best album? Is the question. And in album the year always isn't the best album. If I were given to use the mic reference again, I feel like this is a four and a half mic album, the Clips album. I'm with you on that. I wouldn't die on the hill if somebody said five, but I think it's a four and a half. I think Freddie Gibbs album is four and a half, too. I think Freddy's a four. But if somebody said four. If somebody said four, I wouldn't die on that hill either. That's what I'm saying. I think they're in the same conversation. I think part of me being excited about the Freddie Gibbs album is also so. Just so that people appreciate the moment we're in where a lot of good hip hop is coming out finally. Finally. And it's like for me, even telling people, even when I. Cause I tweeted out yo, this might be my pick for album of the year and Freddie Gibbs as opposed to the clips. And I said, I love the clips album. It's because I want people to listen to all this dope shit that's out here at the same time. And not just that one album. Even though the clips album is amazing. Well, I smiled to myself after I listened to the Freddie Gibbs album because it was like, yo, for maybe the first time in my life, I think all the rappers I. With a wedding. Yeah. The rappers that I enjoy are doing a hell of a job out there. So I'm not mad at none of it. And every one of them. Everybody, everybody. I don't think I. I've ever been able to say that before. I like Freddy's album. It's not in the same league as a clips Pharrell album to me. Not in the same league. No, it's not in the same league to me. It's. It's just the songs don't have quite the same depth as the clips album, I think. I think that's right. But for me, the rapping is not on par either. The rapping. I disagree. The rapping is not on par. Freddie Gibbs is my man, man. What them boys did on that album is. That should be in a museum somewhere. Freddie Gibbs is a great rapper. What them boys did was great rappers elevating. And it should be. It should be a way. It should be a way. You thoroughly listen to our too. Yes. He's rapping his ass off. Nothing on there is malice verse on pov. Nothing is on there is malice verse verse on. On fight. Like if we go in verse for verse, there's nothing on there like some of those clip versions. I'm glad I don't give a. I think the best verses on clips album are better than the best verses on Alfredo too. But I think if you look at that like the. All the way across, the average quality of verse, one album has choruses. That's. That's gonna be the difference. That's not the. I want sometimes. Sometimes I want that. I'm with you. That old school rocket sound bombing type. I get why. I get why you with it so much. Cuz the first three or four songs is giving me. It's a lot of jazz. It's the second half of the album. To me, that's where it kicks up. That Jid verse. And jid, who we have coming here soon to ask him about this absolute tear that he. Is he ready for the next. I think he's here next week so we get to talk to him. Good. Gas station sushi that year I still love her that whole I with the first half for a day a different reason to with the second half but they both but together together they make a great yeah yeah I'm with Mark. This makes a great album. I just go back and press play and just let it go. I listen to the whole way when I was flying I was the whole way the whole way home twice on the way home from Vermont. Long ass drive. Long ass drive. But I go back and forth between the two which is a very happy place for me. Yeah dog this one gives out yo and that's the other thing too. I'm noticing all the albums I'm really enjoying do make me go right back to mob deep after I heard gas station soup come on put the rabbit on the cross they had me held down since they did my ultrasound I've been hellbound hell raise a sat at the table with some elite gangsters I think my favorites are gas station sushi empanadas. Which one you said encelada. Encelada empanadas. I'm just my favorites Lemon pepper steppers skinny suit Part 2 Lemon pepper steppers is my gas station juicy lavish habits like bro this album just that was crazy. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 is like oh yeah and I'm not mad at a nice quality. How long is this? 37 minutes. Yeah, 37 minutes. 48. 48. 48. 48. Why does mine say 37? You missing some songs on all show complete album. Yeah yeah that complete album. I don't like that. That's why he only missing three tracks. You missing the best three tracks, that's weird to me. I still love her I love was but who who who are the young who are the younger crowd catering more to Freddy Gibbs or the clips album? Maybe neither cuz this a. This ain't for this ain't for neither no but I no I I have seen some of the young crowd gravitate to the clips album. I mean I've seen it visible right now. Oh that's what everybody talking about. Okay cool. I've seen that Freddie Grier I heard about your the album from you guys. Well that was my point when I was back when I was talking about the clips album when everybody said this is going to change things. I'm like no it's not. You did say that clips album because of the marketing Is visibility visible everywhere? Yeah. Gibbs album Unless you are a real fan checking for this you're not going to hear the greatest album, to be fair, in the. In the closeness of their release, I don't know if they had time to learn some things from the way that clips handled it. So when you guys compare. Although they ran around crazy for the chains album, when you. Yeah, when you. When you three compare the album, you're basically talking about rapping and quality wise. Right? Okay. Beats, rhymes. We would acknowledge that the clips had a bigger impact than. Of course, not even close. That's why I'm saying the Grammys, they got it. I don't think we're going to see that impact again for the rest of the year, bro. Just clip, yo. Just clips. Announcing an album before anything drops is a moment just because they ain't this. 15 years, 20 years of brand equity. Got it. That too. No, I understand that you're. You're. You're relying on some. Them. Them performing at that block party look like. Like they stuck to who they were. Like, it still means something to me that I haven't seen them with a streamer or they staying far away from you. Streamers that respect. Y' all are not the only. That's not what we're doing right here. My people not watching streams. Right. But again, no disrespect, malice on fico. Both of them on pov. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got some verses. You want to hit rap genius for. Like, you. You want to really? Oh, for sure. Yeah. Like, it's. It's. And the records I didn't like at first. Now I love which one with the dream on it. That was the only one I didn't like. I didn't love that record, even though I love. I just don't like the push opening verse. I. But I didn't like that song. All things considered. My mama cheek. I miss it. I want to kiss it. Those verses were crazy. The hook was just a throw off. Yeah, I didn't like it. That was the one. When before we were recording, I was like, I didn't like some of the Pharrell stuff. That was the one. Yeah. That was the one. I had to skip. That was the only. That's the only. But now I. I. But now I appreciate the change of pace that it provides. Sure. On this project, the Gibbs album is missing a Birds don't sing to me. That's. That's exactly what I said. I think that's fair. Like, if he get in there and tries to do that, I have no doubt that he can do that. Absolutely. Because he's one of the best was a little bit of that. Not to that level, but, yeah, I still love her. That was. That was his just. Gibbs want to come up here, too? You should come up. Gibbs is welcomed. There's a list of people that Ben supposed to come up here, by the way, and send a beat pack. There's a list. There's a list of people that are welcome anywhere Joe Budden exists. I tell them anywhere that. That anywhere that I call home is home for a few people. Like, I seen Ransom Kekeing in the comments with some nigga. That some nigga. Hey, gotta let you up there, Ransom. Talk about Kiki. No, nigga, don't keep Kiki. You know? Yeah. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I feel about you. And at 44, about to be 45, I don't have time to hide feelings when I love people. Especially all us that came up together, man. Notice in Jersey's been up here. Yeah. Come again? Yeah, he should be here. Come again. God damn it. Yeah. Special healthy cardio running ass. These. These is looking extra good. Good out here. Pause. Yeah, that's when you're doing more than that. Fifteen minutes on the treadmill I'm doing. That's why I told they running for miles, John. His man's at the shot. I said, all right, I'm going to the gym. Like, y' all not gonna keep doing this. That 50 freeze. You should go to the gym. Ish. I tell every week he should go to the gym, too, because I'm off more of my vacay body. Actually, when you got up, I actually said, like, you actually have some muscle. Not actually. You have more muscles on your arm. There's no shape, my girl. I'm saying Shady. Oh, look at your arms. No, there's more muscle tone than. But I mean, I can see which you and Cory. I'm doing every week is working. It feel. It just feels good. Yeah, it's good for your mental health, too. Yep. That's the only thing keep me going some weeks is working out, honest to God. And once you get into the routine of it, it's not hard, yo. Yeah. It's more hard when you miss a day. Yeah, you be tight. Y. And it's made for and they forties. That's. This is our time. It's our time to do that. Yeah. Any who. Who are y' all waiting for? Like, I don't know if there's gonna be a surprise release or not, but Snow Allegra. Oh, actually, Chris Brown. But I'm talking about, like, in terms of like. Like, we've gotten Gibbs now. We've gotten the first half of the year. I was like, this is a draft. I don't. I wasn't happy with. Yeah. Now I'm like, for the second half. Who do y' all want to hear from? It did. Y' all haven't. That's plausible. Personally. Meek. I'm still waiting for Meek. I want this Roddy Ricch Navy album to drop. I don't know what's going on. This is like the fifth date. I don't know who's scared to drop this album, but just something that. I'm personally looking forward to those two projects for sure. Because Meek has been working on some shit off of the Friday feature and stuff like that. I'm ready to hear a Meek album. Same. And I'm always. Even though I think he's retired, I'm always gonna say, when you. When you bring these conversations up, I still want a Fab project. I do, too. Yeah, we know. I'm always. I feel like somebody from New York is supposed to unpack whatever's going on with Fab. I'm gonna always. Nobody's doing it, so I feel like it's my. It should be you. It should be you. Really. Fab. A month ago, I spoke to him when Berg was here. He said. I said, yo, nigga, the fuck is up? Come up here. Get your ass up here. And he said, yup. It meant to come up there, actually. As a matter of fact, I'm throwing some clothes on right now and make it up there. He didn't come. And I call. Right. But he should come. Yeah. Pause. He. He should make his way up here. I don't know what's going on with him. I'm still waiting for the whole slate of Mass Peel Records. Nas Prem. I think there was a big L. Big L project. Yeah. I think it was a Mob, Deep and Alchemist project, I think. I don't know if it's this year, but I know that's happening. Yeah. Snow Summer, Generation Janae. Snow Summer Janae. I mean, I'm on my R B. Y' all would be shocked if J. Cole snuck something up if there. If. If I wouldn't mind that. I'm not necessarily waiting on that right now just because I'm in R B mode, but I would love that. If an elite rapper is going to drop something on this out of nowhere, I'm hoping it's J. Cole. That's. That's who I would. That seems reasonable. Like, people don't Put one out this summer, probably. I do think that we're owed a whole verse. A whole verse? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Just a verse. Reverse. We're owed a whole verse. It was supposed to be on that Clips album, but y' all got it with. You goddamn right it was supposed to be there. I wouldn't be mad at Deluxe Clips and Kendrick albums, too. Not for nothing. I was. Clips said they don't do deluxe, but I think with this, you. Yeah, I don't want to hear that. Do a Deluxe. Yeah. Call. Yeah. Give it another name. Whatever you want to call it. I mean, they did say, like, they going right back in it either. I wouldn't do it either. You wouldn't deluxe it? Not this. You call it something else. This is a statement. It's a. They making a. A art statement. It is. This album is the album. Even the movement, everything around don't make. I'm not diluting it with songs that could have went other records for Virgin Mega Store, whatever the. This is my art. This is how I'm presenting it. And I guess that the system will not force me to do it another way because I'll make more money. So I like them taking that stand and everything. They're every move that they making now is. That is kind of showing that I'm not playing the system game. Exactly. Yeah. Call it B side. I don't care. Call it what you want. Call whatever you want. Well, that's the thing, the album, it makes you say, hopefully there's not another long hiatus. I'll take an ep. Well, yeah, that's what they. You see what they said. They ready to get right back to it now, girl. Great. And yo, with a lot of. With the independence comes the. Yo, I can drop now whenever I feel like it. It. Some people, it's motivation there. It said I have to play label games and oh, I can't get this cleared. I can't drop. I can't do this now. I got freedom. Yeah. I want to go back out there. How come? I bought the Freddy Gibbs album and was missing songs. That's weird. I don't. I don't. I don't like that. Sometimes it be weird. Yeah, I don't like that. Especially if you buy, like the second and drop drops sometimes it'd be funny. All right. I have to go listen to the songs I missed. Yeah. Yeah. You might feel different. No, I won't. You won't feel different? No, I won't feel different. You may give a quarter mic add or something. You know what I'm saying you wait. Yo, dog, that. That Clips album is really, really. Is just different for me. I get it. For me, it's different. I get it. Maybe it's them. It's the bar. I don't know what. It's clearly the bar this year, so. It is the bar. It's the bar. I wouldn't fight even for people that's not real. Like die hard hip hop fans, like park, say my wife love it. People are gonna bring up when you mention rap albums. Your wife heard so much about it. That's true. But she's not usually running for the hip hop. Hip hop, hip hop. My girl don't mind when I throw it on. Yeah, yeah. She don't say a word. I'll be playing some other. And she'll be like, I want to hear Burzo sing. All right. But yeah, this is like the conversation. This is the one. Everything's getting compared to the year for sure. Yeah. In terms of, like, the standard and in terms of what people question. Yeah. Is there anything else in music that we need to hit? I know I shouted Yay. Ali's project out before I left. That is still in rotation short, but it is in rotation. So we not excited about Drake possibly dropping the album? The album. I mean, if it comes. Yeah, yeah. I'll be excited when it comes. Yeah. Based off the two songs. You heard one of them, you don't like, the other one we like. What. Where does that put you on? I don't. I don't think it's fair for me to be the voice because I shouldn't be the voice. Voice. I think somebody that's truly excited about it should be the voice. What. What act should be the voice? Number two on the list. Got it. I'm not all the way excited, like, waiting for. Of course, when it comes, I' ma listen. But it sound like he on some London man. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. So I'm not. Not rushing to it, but of course I'm here. Of course we're gonna cover it. It's still Drake, right? Yeah. I don't think Drake can make a bad song outside the Happy Birthday. That was atrocious to me. But other than that, like, he going to make a song and I like Central C. But don't try to fool me into thinking that that's what's going to get American loose. This is crazy. You can't trick me. I know American women way too well. And a man done got no song like this for the goddamn swing and yeah, no, I'm just saying don't play like y' all did the other day. Let me see if it hit me while he looked the record up. It might not be for the American chicks. I go back to what y' all told me about that honestly Nevermind album that I hated. I'm American. When I said that, y' all kept telling me, yo, it's not for here. It's for Santro Pay and it's for over there. So he making music for over there. Now stop. Now that go right here. Don't turn up point for a minute. But this is my problem. This is my problem with this cast. Outside of everybody not being all the way black. This is my problem with the cast. I'm with you, Flip, but listen, it's a uptick in it. This, this. My. That's not everybody, man. This went to the grave site. He went to the mother grave site. His grandfather taught. He went to the ancestral plane and came back on. Ever since he came out real quick. Ever since he came in from South Carolina, he's been on this bro. Yeah, been different. No, I just watched. I watched the bind back. So I hear the takes and it be like, okay, go Hulk Hogan. Not so black. No, nobody. Nobody said that. Nobody said I heard it. But listen, this is what I'm saying. When is Mark gonna go outside and do a litness test for any record? I'm gonna wait. You're not to accident. He's not. No, he's not. When is Flip going outside to do a litness test on the music that is being played and what's it. What it's doing to the audience? Oh, I'm awake. Can I ask a question now in return? You want me to do. What does that have to do with if a person like a record halfway, cuz your girl is going to make you come outside to something and it's going to come on halfway for you a little bit. It's shaky, but you a little bit. Parks, I don't really talk to. Cuz he going to be outside y' all with the girls. Y' all gonna go. Y. Y' all gonna be together. Actually, that's one where. Where's is going to hear this song? Oh, don't play. I'm asking you. I'm just. I'm. I don't. No beef or nobody shout out to our brother. He's here with us in Spirit Mountain. My man, he be outside though. He be outside. He be outside. You know that. You know he be not here. So right now man wasn't a flood, he burned. And again I'm open to being wrong. So let me see if my mind changed. Let me, let me set this up for this. Do my titties look right. You think I can knock the boy off right now? All the girls that's here for the truth come put both hands on a DJ booth then wind your ways to the big man sound. And I get too stiff cuz I think all right, at what point. What point are y' all getting up to to rush to the dance floor at my thing too stiff cuz the girl too round. What dance floor you trying I'm asking you what dance floor already my thing too stiff a even no dance floor. You know that. Yeah. All right, keep it going. Ain't no dance floor. If I go to the bar, I'll bring you around. Come right here at the wall and she going to get on there and do what she does. You're not letting things you're around. Y' all real close the whole this bringing you down. But come to the bed, I'll fling you around. These guys can't make songs for the girl them trust me. This how the single town anyone that's bringing you down, sweetheart, you're doing your thing right now. Good. Yeah. All the girls that's here for the shoe come put two hands on a DJ boot and wind your waist on a real good ex. Which one? Success. Which one are they tired? But.

They always come round and your little tiny thing, right? Go somewhere other than a strip club. This might not work there, but in the lounges this will work. Work in the lounges you have other fans, bro. This is what I'm saying. The lounge. This come on in. They going to be dancing this come on in. Stafford and them will start throwing tomatoes at the DJ if this come on.

Get your ass out of here. That's on go. Well come out and let's see it come out. Let's see If a DJ brings it on. See, y' all don't do DJ tests. And as somebody that never made some songs, I could see that. But sometimes you make a song and just go out and give it to a DJ and just sit there. Y' all got. It's different environments for that, and you got to go to the different ones. You have to go to different ones. I'll go outside to a different place just to hear what the DJ play.

I don't think this helps his purpose at all. I'm. I'm joking with y'. All. I'm not trying to get nobody to be against. Against what he's doing. I just don't think it helps what he's trying to do. I like what it is. What do you think he's trying to do? Well, that's really what I. I think it's what he said, right when what Did I Miss came out, and all the talk was about where he would land on number one. He hit his Instagram. He was like, yo, if it ain't this one, it'll be the next one, right? I'm gonna. If it ain't the next one, it's gonna be the next one. Something is coming. None of us may know. I may not know, but y' all know I'm breaking that record. And he's right. He's right. Yeah, he's nothing. Nobody said he's breaking that record. This ain't record. Oh, no. I don't think there's gonna be another record. I don't think it's that either. Function. Fun record. That's a fun record. Is a Good way to put it. We're not looking at the lyrical breakdown, right? Because of the ass to rap. Which one you want to drug. Yeah, but y' all want this to come on and get a dance from your girl, your wives. Like, that's my problem. Like, that's what I'm saying about you ass. Like y' all are judging this from the angle of baby, dance with me, not me. Hit that beat up thing. Send my girl to the supermarket. Some strange shit on me. See if it worked. You can't grade no record with your girl dancing on you. Which one? Anyway, I got X if y' all want to take drugs. Careful, Easy. Niggas always incriminating themselves. But Citrusy is a cool nigga. I can't. Oh, man, I want to hate on Drake, but not the niggas he be with. Like Boy Wonder. I love the niggas he be with, but get this shit the fuck out of here. Anyway, I like the records. Mark, you coming out. I can't wait for that wolf be falling asleep at the bar. Tell Mel that you coming out. And your wife. What else we got? What else we got? Oh, on the Chris Brown front, Deion Sanders thinking like it took me. Oh, Deion Sanders. Bladder cancer. They say he had it removed. Had a successful surgery. So we want to hear cancer free. Yeah, we want to hit the round of applause for Deion Sanders. But you know black people, right? Yo, I've been laughing at black people for that. We can't help it. Nope. We couldn't just say nope. That's awesome. Way to go, Prime. Somehow we are focused on Karrueche's appearance. Yep. Right? She was by his side the whole time. Good woman, right? When you get a good one, they. You know. That's right. Now, what is this? What do we. Why is this news? Cause you're a little hot ass. Cause ain't nobody know anybody know. That's really why. And I saw the news. That's like trying to be mature about it. It was like, oh, Deion's recovering. And Krueucci was there by side the whole time. It just left it out there like meat for the wolves. You know what I mean? Y' all speak for y' all selves. My investigative skills may not be on the level of my girl, but they ain't the worst. When Shador Sanders before the draft was having all them parties, some of the people that was showing up, I didn't think they was there for him. I didn't think they gave two fucks about where Shador Sanders would be drafted. Some of them was there for good old Dion. That's still prime. That's prime. That's prom. Still prime. That's still prime. With that silky gray ass beard. Dang hurt. Must be the money. They didn't hear that. They don't know. They don't know. They weren't there for that. Right, right. They wasn't. They weren't there for that. That was the 19s. Yeah, that was the 19s. That was the deep in the 19s. Yeah, it was. Yeah. So Karrueche was there. I'm applauding. Black and brown love. What is she? She's something black and brown. Black and brown love. I'm applauding. I see y' all tried to make it nasty because of the age difference. No, I'm not looking at this like, Dre. She's an adult. Yeah, she can. She's damn near 40. Yeah, yeah. She can do what she wants to do. It's the age limit. Police. Before he was with Karrueche. If he's with Karrueche. Yeah, we don't know. Was with. What's her name. Another famous woman, right? No, no. He was publicly with her. I don't know. Yeah, he's very public on his Instagram. My point is he has dated several women who have publicly d other men before. Okay. My question is. Is I think there's something. Not even a question. I think there's something cool about that. Some dudes do it but aren't confident about that. Some people feel away about that. Some people think there's a stigma about that. I don't know how y' all think about that. Oh, I don't care. I don't give a flush. I dated at least nine people right after Fab. I didn't care. They told me too. Yo, Fab. Tracy Edmonds. Tracy Edmonds. Yeah, Tracy. That's what I was thinking about. He wants to say the wrong name. Yeah, yeah. He dated Babyface's ex wife, Tracy Evans. That's I was thinking about. Oh, I wouldn't give a thirsty. Back in the day, they used to tell you the rappers, they was. Yo. Hey, I don't give a about none of that. About to add one more to the list, and that's what make them like you more. Hey, I see why he was in. Does that ever make it more attractive to you? No. That's corny. That's nasty. I agree. But some people. Oh, no, there's Chase. I know a whole lot of dudes that Be. I know, cuz. They'll be like, yo, I'm so and so whack. That's whack. Like you're a groupie for the women. Like when you say you don't. You don't give a. I don't give a f who you dated before. Girl, you mind that ain't me. Out of here. Febreze them out to get out of here. It's my. Now some of that need license, magic and excited, cuz. I'm like. It's weird, but there a few niggas out there that I know was excited after they got. You know what I mean, after your work. And it makes it worse. Weird. It does make it weird. How you can tell they're excited, gang. I know they find ways to make it known that that was. I know one in particular that was real corny with it. And we're just trying to make it known that not only am I with her, but that this is his ex. Right. It's like I'm making it more about the. Than the girl. And that's what's corny about it. That's right. It's corny. And it's weird because it seems like you're almost competing with Would do you. That's. That's what I'm saying. It's not about her. Yeah. It's just. I wanna. I want to show that I'm the same as him. Right. Cause I used to think it was just weird, like fanboy. But it's actually more than that. Sometimes it's actually like I want to beat him. You know what I mean? I want people. I mean, I don't know. It's weird. And it makes a whole movie. It puts a whole movie in my head as the video for the Chris Brown record before he ever releases one. So now you talking about prime dick. Oh, that's bad. No, it's funny. All right, take it back. Chris Brown vers. Prime. Put a karuchi off. No, no, stop it. That prime is folding that like a lawn chair. Yo. Yo, she was crying like. Like that when the surgery was successful, yo. You know how he got to be folding that up? Yo, I'm a. I made it. I'm not gonna lie still getting some. Some nice off with the Pampers. Yo. This got his salute. We got Pampers like six toes and no black. Missing a toe. He's getting busy. That's still Prime. You got to do Salute Karrueche boy. Go ahead, Karrueche. Last time I seen Karrueche she had came up to the complex offices for a little bit, and she had everybody head up there in a tailspin. She is the one. She's stunning. I walked in, I bumped into a Jamaican jerka in the Village. I didn't know who the fuck it was at the time. I was like, who the fuck is that? And then somebody whispered and told me, and I stayed in my place and sat in my chair, but. Cause this is like, maybe like 10 years ago. But she's just, like, in person, you know, Some people don't look as good. She looks amazing in person. I'm sure it was like, damn. No, she had everybody. Everybody was gone. Yeah. I didn't blame them. Pretty girl. Pretty girl. At this point, I feel like Dre is just trolling us with her. What she do now? Every week she pop up with some new. Like, it was, how long have you had your license? And he said, oh, six months ago. She played, like, little Tik Tok games. Yeah. Everything playing on his age. Ass. Yeah. Lean into it. It. Y' all gonna talk anyway. Dre's a businesswoman, so I'm. I'm gonna use it. It's nasty. Hey, hey. We all talk about narratives, and some people lean into them, and others run away from them. So she gonna. Y' all gonna keep talking. Fine. I'm gonna lean into it. Yeah, that's nasty. I don't see it. I'm not all the way. I'm with you. Yeah. I don't see it that way. You gotta have a kid. You got a kid. They got a kid. You got a kid. Yeah, I'm with you. It is what it is. Y' all are going to talk. I'm not going nowhere. Oh, cuz a kid means we got to talk. No, no, no. I'm not. No, no. I'm talking about the people are going to talk. Ass. Oh, I hate this, bro. Oh, yeah. In the Pampers. Yeah. That's wild. Salute. Shout out to him. I'm glad he's recovered. And he's gonna be playing. He's gonna be coaching. He says he's gonna be back on the field, so he must put the porta potty on the sideline. But it's all good. Yeah, that's fire. Yeah. You ever coming to girl, she told you you ain't got to worry because she's not ovulating. Yeah. Did you feel. Did that bring you comfort? No, no. Yeah. I had a girl tell me that, and I thought she meant she wasn't like, I. I was, like, 1920. I didn't know that right quick. No, no, no, I'm in the 19. Yeah. I had just moved out the coat, but she was still kind of in. And she wore her garb was all covered. Her face was all covered up, but under the garb she was like, I think she ended up being a dancer in New York. She was quite a trajectory, quite distrojective, but oddly common. And she looks bad as I. I didn't use a condom. I bust and all that, man. And. And I was like, should I punch? She's like, no, no, you're good, you're good, you're good. Oh, you fell for that. Yeah. And then like a week later, I was like, she. She was like, you. You know, you came at me, right? I was like, yeah, you told me I could. You said it was good. Like you. You can't have kids, right? She's like, no, I didn't mean that. I said, what you mean by that? She was like, I just meant like, God wouldn't do that to me. Wait, what got him? Yo, she was. How many times that worked on you? Twice. One more time. But that time I was, yeah, I take the L for the second one time. But that time, yeah, because she said it was such confidence. I thought it was like a medical reason. She was just like, yeah, God wouldn't do that to me. I'm not in my ovulation period. If you don't take this pill. And FaceTime. That's the oldest trick in the book. Send the video, send the video. Send. Hey, yo, that's send the video, send the video. In some instances where they try to make men seem like. And I don't be vibing with it, like, send the video. You can't make the man be send the video. Yeah, but he really wasn't being an asshole. He was keeping the conversation here. Like, yo, we not friends. We don't have nothing else to talk about. You trying to take us and, you know, BS me over here? No, this is a transactional conversation. You want this, send video. That's not asshole. Speaking of that, that that's going on right this second, deandre Ayden seems to be under fire, or not under fire because he was in Turks. He sent a private jet for a young man, lady that goes by the name of Caribbean Curls on Instagram. Okay. What? How she look? Caribbean Curls. She's a great looking girl. Salute. I'm in the is ho Wham hoam. But if my memory serves correct, she was younger. At least when I found her, she was. Whatever she's wearing with them gray sweats on. Now, she got to be 24 or some, but DeAndre Aiden is younger, so he flew her out. So he flew her out on the pj. She says that because she didn't want to fuck deandre Aiden, security kind of left her in the middle of nowhere in Turks, which does sound like some horrific shit to do until I take into account all the scenarios and stories that women are coming up with when they're in private with a guy. So where do y' all stand on this? So when I heard the story, I was like, that's fucked up. It's always up to leave somebody in another country. I see you in it. You see them, right? Yo, for the people that are wondering what we laughing at, we went to her page to do our journalistic investigation right there. And two people are following her from the JVP right there. Joseph Anthony Buddy and Anton Ishmael. I meant that. That should. Shouldn't be. I meant to unfollow that girl years ago. That girl is too young for me to follow, so I'm gonna unfollow. I didn't know that. Seriously, I'm dead serious. You might have followed her recently. I don't think you did it when she was young. I don't know. But I want to unfollow that girl. Okay, okay, okay. I'm not playing with none of you 23 year olds. I ain't doing it. Sorry, sorry. Damn, that shit dark, right? It's not dark. It's just we had a time where niggas need to have discipline in certain areas. No, that's real. I'm not playing like that. I respect it. Shout out to him in this scenario. Yeah. Do y' all blame him? Yes. Here's the thing. It's two conversations happening the Internet. I think they both wrong. Some people are saying, yo, it's fuck. Like, if it's fucked up to leave somebody there. Yeah. It just is. You should never leave somebody somewhere that you flew out. It's just fucked up. Unless they did some horrific shit. Right. You know, if I caught you stealing my shit, something like that, then it's different. Right. But then other people are set like, well, just because she flew out there don't mean she gotta have sex with him. Which is also true. That's true. That's true. That is true. But it is unrealistic to say. To suggest that she had no idea. There is an implicit understanding that when I fly you out to another country and we don't know each other, that there's some intimacy expected. Now, you have a right to revoke the consent at any time. I'm not saying if you fly out, you gotta fuck. I'm just saying. No. But to actually, like, she was shocked by the prospect of fucking after being flown to another country is kind of crazy to me. But if she don't want to fuck him, don't fuck him. And he has a right to. I agree with everything you just said. I agree with that, too. It's also funny. I see a lot of girls tweeting things like, hey, fly me out. I know what I'm doing. I know what I gotta do. I've been dying at them tweets. Hey, check this out. If I get on a plane and go xyz, I already know what I'm doing with you. You're making how much loser? Well, that's why I'm laughing. That's why I'm laughing at. As I see girls online saying they're trying to crucify Karrueche. Prime would have folded your ass up, too. Like, don't do that. I see the girls laughing at shorty that got right to business with Duke Dennis. Yo, you want some head? Yeah. And then he tried to. Yo, and see, that's back to my point about dignity. Most men have been in that situation where you hide hot and head monster is coming. And she's being direct. Yo, would you like some head? I'm the best head giver in Rochester. Ask around about me. I can make calls. There's nobody that sucks dick in Rhode island better than me. And now you gonna have to make a choice. Yeah. Yeah. Do I dip off in this bathroom real quick, or do I leave it alone? And some niggas don't have the discipline to do it. That Duke. What's his name? Duke Dennis, he double back. He was too intrigued. He was way. He said, well, really? But we can't say that right now. But for real, camera on right now. Nah, you got. What happened when the best head giver in Boston approached y' all in private and said, yo, this is a Michelin star Mouth a man of God. I want to give it to you right now. You can find out for yourself firsthand. How did y' all handle that? I went back to my room and pray. Prayed? Yeah. Shout out the Bible. Y. It's right there in the nice thing. Oh, the girl dumb chick. D round. I'm a little too stiff because your ass is too round. Get it Stiff. When it's round that I'm the do see though this round married. Okay. Flip mark not married. I hear that they play around like that, but I'm good. I'm married. They can smell married on me. They don't even say that stuff to me. My girl thought she was getting proposed to for a second. You can't raise that as. As a possibility that just up the weekend. Well, nobody here should have raised that as a possibility. Imani's a jerk. Yes, Amani is a jerk for that. But that was definitely an IOU for all the jokes that you make about Nissans and so and so forth. He said, you think she. She heard it? Well, we. She heard it. I was listening to the pod and I didn't get to the fan on X. That was like, hey, skip to 2101. I didn't. I saw that later. So she heard it. What she said private. Whatever. Sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, got like that. What that mean? I saw the walk to the door like the walked out. Slow motion. He walked to the hallway, man. Slow, like, what's up? He just got back. He like this. Yo, we sorry. Yo. He might Imani up through like Malcolm X on the slow mo. We saw that, right? Look through the cabinet. Mad slow, huh? Pseudo fed stupid ass parks talking about, you think Joe would do a head ass proposal like that? Here go Parks. Well, Joe's done all the. Corey was on the left of us like, no. What are y' all talking about? Corey? Like, hell no, he wouldn't do that. It was crazy. And I'm like, you know she gonna hear this when they there you up the trail. Them kids wouldn't even. First of all, that's what Cory said. That's literally what Cory said about these kids. He's like, what the. And this is my own brain. All them girls that. But I could tell that these kids didn't grow up with a dad in the Yo. Hey, yo, hey. This trip made me think of nine more good reasons how a deadbeat is born. So we sit down at the dinner table. This means something to me and her. Like, this is like a we here with the kids. Family dinner, 8 o'. Clock. Whatever you want to eat. These little demon ass kids, they sit down, don't wait for nobody. They just eat grab. We don't say a prayer. I don't think we said a prayer once. Well, me and the Tourette, we. We said a prayer. Me and my man. Me and I prayed a little bit, but had to be on edge during the pr. I'm not laughing. I'm not. He said I'm in TR probably like, what the is going on? So for the rest of the trip, anything this had to say during the dinner, I'm like, yo, don't start. Yo, yo, yo, yo, chill. Just let us eat, yo. Anyway, no, soon come, though. Soon come. Soon come. It got to be a surprise. Once you get to years six and seven, you can't surprise surprise them no more pressure on my man. Because it's like they wait. It's like it's about time. Yeah, right. And then anything. Yeah, major. They start thinking, all right, now it's about to happen. I can't believe I got my off. That was some sleight of hand. And how'd you do it? Baked on hangry. It was a family dinner at a Colombian spot in Flush. Flushing, Queens. Yeah, Queen Jackson Heights. Jackson Heights. Got it. Yeah. I got lucky that she was so hangry that she was blinded to the. The obscene situation that was unfolding because I had to invite. She wanted her best friend there. I wanted my best friend there. It's a family dinner. I had to figure out how to make that make sense because it would not. We weren't doing dinner on a Tuesday with her best friends and my best friends. But she was so hangry that she was just mad at me. What was the excuse for them being there? Oh, they were obscene. She had to. The one friend had to come get something that she left at our house, like a skirt or something. It was pure bullsh. And then my friend was just like, oh, I happened to stop by. They're like, oh, do you want to come to dinner with it? Like pure. Got you pure anytime this expecting a proposal every David Yurman commercial in the world. Come on. David Yurman. David Bright. You love David's bridal. No, I won't. No. I wasn't even looking for Dave. Parts of that. Oh, they got done bringing them around and shake them. Birthday. Want your birthday. Oh, want to get your birthday off there? You got to do right. You want peace, you got to do right. Boy, you. You can't have everything straight. So just cuz. Just cuz I'm here with the fellas and I'm happy. Boy, I'm so happy to be with y'. All. I bet. I bet you are. I'll give you all update and then we can move on. We'll find a topic mark and bring up Dr. Umar or some. We've gone from. We've gone from her saying, why would you even ask me about who's allowed. And who's not allowed? I think that's weird. We've gone from that. Where we at now, though, Nigga, every other day this motherfucker got a name that I done forgot about. Bell. Two days ago, she said my last question, which is not. Of course not. Are you flying girls in for your birthday dinner? I said, what? Am I flying girls in or are girls. I'm not a pilot, so I'm not flying. No. Are you paying for women to come, Girl, No. And why would you think such a thing? No, no, I will not. No. No. Anything. Anybody to come pay for their own ticket. Playing with you, Joe. Oh, they got. Did he wire them the cash? Pay for their own ticket? No. Hey, just take that thing. Did you see his face, though? I didn't see his face. I did not. I did see. Look at our man freeze. He going through that way. This. He going through it. Look at him. Look at him. Look at him right now. I'm not going through the damn thing. Me and my baby got my understanding in the world. We is. We are chilling. This going to be a tough night to remember. Shalimar. So. Okay. I actually want the camera. The camera. Now I'm in trouble. I'm sorry. Don't know how this PA stuff work. Yes, I do. Now you got to lie. Make up something. What kind of tours are going to be. Nah, man, I think the stakes. Stakes should be pretty good. What else? What else needs our attention, Mark? Anything that's pressing on your mind? I know this Ray J thing is something you said you wanted to talk about. About. No, that wasn't me. Oh, I see. Ray j on the board. I thought that's all you see on the board. Huh? You see another name under Ray J. Put that on the board. Yeah, introduce it, Mr. Topic. Introduce that. I don't know. What's the story? Oh, Dr. Umar. It just says Dr. Umar on the board. I haven't put on the board. Yeah, what's the story? I think Dr. Umar is full of what happened with Dr. Get to it but front of the show. I don't believe him. Dr. Umar went on the Internet and said, I'm broke. Send me some shit. They fucked with my chase account, all my money's disappeared. I don't know what he said. Is that what he does? Like. No, I said, oh, I really know what he's talking about. So he didn't say he was broke. He just said that his funds are frozen. Yeah. Which is different. Okay? That's different. Like he got like someone hacked into his account. Sometimes when the people hack into your account, you can't access the money. They freeze your account. They freeze your account. And so right now, the only way he can access Money is through PayPal. How. Making it a joke. That's my man. N. I know that was. I know that. I was like. To do that. Hey, yo, my account is up. Send a cash. No, but he was. All jokes aside, he was. He was having some problems with hackers and stuff. In fact, I think he had to contact. He had to contact the FBI or some. Cuz we was. Yeah, he was having problems. That's what I'm saying. So. So it's real. And he's never asked for money before. He's fundraised for the school before, but he's never asked for money for himself. Donations. Donations. Which is different. Right. He's not spending the money for the school on himself. He's spending it on the school. And I can vouch. I've been to the school. I've seen the school. I was in Wilmington, came to check out the school, went on a tour. It's real. And he's building something there. And so if the brother's in a pinch, I say send it to him. Send him something. Dr. Umar, the longer you stay away from this platform, the more great questions I come up with. I ain't gonna hold you. Last October, when I asked you to come, it was just gonna be a cool revisit thing. Now gotta ask the tough questions. I got to. What's a tough question? Where the fuck is the school? See, he's been there. I've been to the school. I'm telling you, it's a real school. I've been to the Frederick Douglass and Marcus Garvey Academy. I haven't. It's actually a beautiful facility. Is it open? It's not open for. They're not matriculating yet. But he's physically getting things done. Like the H VAC thing needed to be redone. It's hard to build a full school, fully private for black boys without a lot of resources, a lot of investment, and it costs a lot of money. And it takes a lot of time when you're doing it on the muscle. He didn't open a charter school. He didn't try and do what some of the NBA players do where they take a public school and put their name on. On it. Like, he's actually building something from the ground up. So shout out to him. I think it's great. And I've donated and supported and Hope other people do, too. So the H VAC system has to get fixed now. I think it needs to be. I don't remember the whole situation with H Vac, but I know at one point what he's basically trying to do, and I think he's right, is to get the community to not just pull money, but resources. Like, if you have an H VAC company or business, lend your services, you can. When you're trying to build something you can do through three things. Time, talent, or treasure. Right. Either go there and volunteer, use your skills to teach, or. Or. Or make a donation or do all three. So that's what people should do. Why y' all like this Mark, though? That's a good man right there, Mark. Mark is good. Solid. I mean, just trying to support the brother. Mar get slid. They not. They not. That's. My ma is nuts, man. I'm just. Dr. Umar. Shout out. Shout out to the school and him. Umar, come up here, man. Come on, let's talk. That'd be dope. Let's talk. I got to get to the bottom of this. All right, I'll try it a different way. When they froze my accounts. Froz. Yeah. I have my accounts frozen over. When they froze my accounts, and that's where all of my $17 was. I was broke. Yeah. When all of it is in the same place so that they could just freeze you out, then there's no money in the shoe box. Mama can't loan it to you. You ain't got a hidden account somewhere that your baby mamas don't know about. Then it's more of a situation. But you're different. Then they just froze my account. You're a celebrity, and you. And if they freeze your account, then go through the proper channels to get it unfrozen in the least amount of time that it would take. Well, that's what he's doing. Yeah. He's said it's indefinitely. They told him it's indefinite. Here's the thing. When you make a life in service of the people versus a celebrity life or a rich life, it's different. So, like, Malcolm X died with almost no money in his pocket. Dr. King died. He made $50,000 this last year, which was a lot of money in 1968. Gave it all away. A lot of times when you're a grassroots activist, organizer, teacher, you're not gonna have cashed away a celebrity. I think it's interesting in this day because some of us are in the public eye, and so we get treated like we're rich and famous and you might be visible, but you still are doing the sacrifice to the people. So you ain't got the same amount of cash. So I don't think he's broke, but I do think that like being a poor righteous teacher means just that. So indefinite that means it could be a day, it could be a month. I don't know. I only know what he said, so I don't know if it's unfrozen now or not. I just saw what the announcement he made last a few days ago or whatever and I'm hoping it's unfrozen. He's good. What I'm saying is I feel like Dr. Umar's name, likeness and brand is too big to ever be put in a situation where because his accounts are frozen, he has to take to the Internet to ask the public for help. I think his likeness is like way greater than this action makes it seem. And I think he knows that too. No, I think you're right. I think you're right that it shouldn't be that way. I'm just saying some people read that as something dishonest. And I'm saying I think it's more of like there's a long tradition of people who do that kind of work. Got it. Who don't have the cash, who don't put. Yeah, the cash doesn't match the value they have to our community. But the work, I'm not pocket watching or nothing. But the work. He can get you the cash, right? Because he do. Like I remember he posted on his Instagram, he had a whole tour of stops that I'm want to see him and he's get, he gets booked to do these. But a lot of that stuff is for like. Like I know I've been on panels with him, I've been in places with him where both of us did it for short. Like we didn't do it for the money, we did it for the community. So you could have 50 dates on your tour and 35 of them could be for a community service center, African center, school, and they might just be paying your way out there, you know what I mean? And now when you go to the universities, you take the big bread, but. Or whoever. But when you're doing the local stuff, a lot of time you're doing it for the people. And so it just doesn't make a lot of cash again. Or you give the cash back or you pour it into what you're building. And for him is that's the school and that's why you're still not necessarily making the money yourself. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And you gotta make that separation like that's why he's Martin Luther King as the example. I mean, Martin Luther King, when he got his noble Nobel Peace Prize, they gave him a ton of cash. What was a ton of cash at the time. Gave it all back to the movement, you know what I mean? So I. I get it. See, Martin and Malcolm made a few decisions that wouldn't have went that way. You did it different. Malcolm talking about, no, no, no, we don't need our guns. Let everyone come feel free and safe. And the children will know that. No. Strap up. Yeah. Get the. Get the joints from new coming. Yeah. Oh, my God. Shout out to them. Shout to them. That's what he said. Did y' all hear about Mandy's book tour getting canceled? No, it. It didn't get. She canceled it. She canceled it. To be clear, it didn't get cancelled. But, yeah, they. I don't know why. I don't get the details, but she made some great stops. She was at Uncle Bob. Hobbies, Great tour, great book sales. Salute. Salute. Did you. Did you meet her? Were you there? No, no, I didn't go. I was here in. In. In. In. At home. Got it. Yeah, but we support all black authors. Yeah, we supported black Books Matter. All of them. Enough of them. They trying to keep that Uncle Bobby's flow coming through, nigga. But anything in love and service to the people. People, man. Shout out to Mandy and Weezy. Even though the book tour is canceled because the book is too successful right now, they'll get it back together. You said what? I don't have New York Times bestseller, though. Mandy said the book is doing better than they imagined. So we're gonna dead the tour plans for now because the book is too successful. I get that sometimes when I got things that it's just. Yo, all right. So successful. Yo, stop. All right? That nigga's trolling me. Stop it, man. No, no, no. In all seriousness, though, they need to say, no shit like that. Book tours are onerous, and if your book is doing really well, you don't want. It's not like music tours where you get a ton. You know what I'm saying? I don't necessarily want to go to a bookstore in Schenectady to talk to 50 people if I'm on the bestseller list. Already got it. Like her book is. Their book is cooking right now. It was New York Times bestseller. The Bookscan numbers are high. In all seriousness, I probably wouldn't want to go on a long book tour either if it's already doing well, since you want to be more selective. I understand. I understand that logic that you just said shout out to her, but it just creates the position of when I'm planning my tour, I'm not planning for my book to be so successful. That might be true. Or the publisher. Or it could just surpass expectations. I could have planned for it to do this and then, oh, shit, it did that, right. It's just higher than what you expected. And in the book business, it's hard to. To get tour dates. Like. Like a publisher doesn't like. Publishers in the last 10 years don't like to give tour dates. I remember my first book. I got maybe 15 cities. My second book and I had a bestseller. They gave me four. Four cities. You know what I mean? So, yeah. No, no, I love Mark. He's good. No, I love Mark. Him and Mel do the same. Him and Mel do the. Mark is the man. I love that. Mark is the man, man, you know, he don't know. I'm just sitting here being a dick. Like, he really breaking it down. Yo, and for the books, if you go out to Rochester, shout out to Mandy Martin. Is that why you being addicted, Uncle Bobby? If I sit here and laugh while you being addicted and later on people be like, yo, you was with it. So I gotta always make my separation. Like, I don't coide in this foolishness. Do they think that we're so different? Different on the dick tip. Pause. That was crazy. In terms of being a dickhead. Do they think that I'm one way and you're another way? I think the perception is, and it's accurate, is that you are messy and sarcastic and mean spirited with humor. And you are. And I'm above the fray. And that is accurate. No, it's not. Wait, what? That is exactly how I see it. Above the fray, princess. Exactly how I see it. No, they just don't know you yet. That's how I see it too. No, they getting to know him here. They get to know him. Just an someone who weaponizes his intelligence to make people feel inferior. Stupid. Damn. Lesser than. Yeah, yeah. Neil Degrasse don't do that. Should you be doing. No, he don't. He ain't got to work with y' all though. Oh, fair points are made. Yeah, fair points are, mate. What else needs our attention? We'll talk about your guy from the Raiders. Oh, we can do It Wilkins. Christian Wilkins, man. Christian Wilkins, former Dolphin. Feel freaky. Freaky frog. That's my man. Great, great defensive tackle. He left the Dolphins, got a massive deal, one hundred and something million guaranteed money from the Raiders. Hate to see him to kiss on. Well, you know, he. He injured his foot and that's why they waved him is because I guess he. He didn't. He didn't rehab the way that he wanted to. But I guess some other information came out that he at some point kissed one of his teammates on the head in a joking manner and the teammate did not find that to be a joke. Was it like jokingly sexual or was it just like, just like literally just like a joke? Man, what way could you kiss after? So like, you know how like Ian walks around like making like jokes and jokingly hug us, but we know he's not making a pass at it. Ian come kiss you on your head. What you going to do? Where are we in the contract season? Got. I need a few more questions to answer. My question is who did he kiss? Cuz if he kissed Max Crosby. That's really, really funny. Who's. I don't. I don't get it because I don't know Max. Oh, he's a big Viking looking defensive. He's the best. He's the best black player. But from what I know of him in the past from Dolphins coverage that I've read red, like, he used to like whoop on people's asses in practices. So there a good chance that he whooped on some poor offensive lineman and then gave him a kiss to be even more of a. Oh, and he's also had a reputation on the field. Yeah, yeah. I was going to say. I've seen that he's. It happens sometimes in football that players, when there's like a, A pile on, someone might grab some places. Finger in your ass. Yeah, several places. Grab a. Grab a little. Grab a little. Yeah, grab a little dick. Oh, and he's. He's been accused of that by Josh Allen for one, like multiple times. Sexual. Is it? Well, if, if somebody just put a finger in your ass that's sexual. No, I, I was talking about the, the grabbing. Like, I didn't know if it was like a, like, like a pain thing. Like I'm tackling you now. I'm trying to like hurt you by something. Oh, no, no. They already down there sometimes and he just reach in and get him a little, little. Give him a little piece. Oh, that's weird. Like on some like Dom dominate. You Prison. I don't know. What? I don't know. It leaves a lot for interpretation. But anyway, he got. He got his. His 100. The remaining. The remainder of his 100 something million dollar contract. Chopped. Waved. Wow. Based on the injury, rehab, and potentially him kissing his. That's the sickest way I've ever heard to lose $100 million. Yeah, but he's filed a grievance and he probably will get it. Okay, so he's going to probably end up playing for some other team for a dollar and still get his 20 million from the Raiders. Let me ask a question. Is he good enough that if he doesn't get his money, another team will? Yes, he's really good. Okay. Even with the foot. Even with the injury, he's really good. Okay. Yeah, he's really good. Did you guys happen to hear R. Kelly's tribute song to Malcolm Jamal Warner? I heard that it existed. I didn't want to listen. I wish that I had. And I have a feeling I'm going to. Well, I am going to play it for you guys. Mark, if you want to exit the room or go do some of that philanthropy you'll be doing, then now would be a good time. But it's work now. I'm just not gonna do it at home like at the crib. And it's confirmed that it's real, correct? Oh, we don't care, do we? Yeah, I'm not checking to see. Refer to the tag if it's real. I don't speak Dog Kelly, so there's no way for me to ever know. Got it. But I ain't gonna lie to you. This is hard. Yo, yo, you back. Please don't get flip started. Yo, before I play it, though, because I want to, I first saw it R. Kelly makes tribute song to Malcolm Jamal Warner. Again, I'm thinking this is AI. I'm thinking this is some old. Where he talking about Malcolm X? I don't know. Shut the Malcolm X. Dog. Dog, come on already. And they got a. They got a good studio in that jail. The Armor. Somebody said Malcolm gone. I sat there. Oh, nah. What? Don't sound like that. That's him. You sure? No, no. Let him cook, though. Talk to him. Keep going. Though. You were chasing life Taught young kings how to walk Right. You stood in a storm with your head held high. Yeah. You see where it's going? Not at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, okay. This nigga's the greatest. Call you a friend. No way. Y' all know if he could put a quiet right There he would. Oh, no. Y' all know if a quiet could go Jojo. Ain't no way that's. That's heat. It's two minutes left on this. It's a four minute joint. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished panel. I think is fire. It sounds good, man. I don't know R. Kelly, but I know Malcolm Jamal Warner. I'm pretty confident if he was asked who he wanted to sing a tribute to him after he died, R. Kelly wouldn't be on the list. That's all that said, I don't know Malcolm Jamal Warren, rest in peace. Well, I do know. But if somebody happens to tap him and say, yo, the R put one out. He came back to the R. Kelly. Have you heard that the R. So f he turn back to the girl. Dad, this the R. I'm saying that that's what somebody was telling. Girl, I'm still talking no 16 bars. Now he the R again. Damn. Got 30 years. I turned to the R too. Oh, he got the choir. I cut it off before the end at all. This boy still got it. Oh, man, that can't be. It just don't sound like R. Kelly to me. Oh, it sounds like. But how if. If it is how. How the did he get a Newman into the jail? That ain't no neuman boy. That's a whole studio studio saying y' all clearly ain't seen enough of these jail dogs. If the dirty tattooed from Mississippi named Ralph the white with the funny hair could get to see to quit her job and lose her lights. What you think the R is doing in there? If y' all call that the R one more time. Can we just change your name? We just tone it down a little bit. We don't want to call the. The pie Viper. How much R. Kelly? He back at the odd. Bob. Bob, can we go there? Robert, we got to the bridge. Y' all lost your minds, man. Bro, use it as that. It's okay. Mark Kelly's talented. Yeah. Remember we talked about the guy on that album? We talk. We talked about the other day. We. We can like he smoked this. We couldn't. Like the artist, but not the human. Oh, please. Mark. Mark. All them nasty was in the. In the cult wilding out now. You want to come over here out of here? Yeah, it was wild. It was some un. Un. What's the word? Unsavory people in the country. Cold they were. But we know they was unsavory. And they ain't have a pin like this. They didn't have a pin like This. I mean, Africa Vada was never that talented. So not R. Kelly talented. I don't ride for him. No, I know. I would say you did. Trying to do all that. No, that right. Come on. There's a few more that they be trying to pump up in the name of hip hop. I ain't with it. I ain't jacking some of that. Right? I've read what you did, right. I don't get by it. No right. Hip hop fact. Yeah, but if Africa been about to drop it. No, it's not your witness. You see, and that's my point. Rock rock. You like his pen ain't good enough to deserve, like, the reprieve. You like R. Kelly. However, R. Kelly Studio is. They got a nudge. Jail. Protect custody with studio. Like, they got the sound proof and all that. Put the mattresses up. Hey, I'll put four mattresses in the wall for me, please. Make it six. Mark talking. All this R. Kelly little girl from the DOC still holding them down. They still like. No, no, no. One of them. That's my baby. One of them turned though on. Yeah, one of them. One of them turned. Yeah, one of them did turn 16. Oh, no. Wow. Oh, that's. That's the line. Wow. Testified against it. The other one, the one that states she's still mad against her family. You mom, stay away from us. Don't talk to me. I am 24 now. She. She is cursing her parents. Move out. 24. She like 15 years ago. And you're right. That's what makes this so awful. That's what I'm saying. R. Kelly is awful. He is. He is. I agree. He is awful. That's true. All right. Speaking of awful. Holy. Did he. George Washington is awful. I don't hear you. He is. And if George Washington, you still spend them with Dolly. Not carbon either, nigga. The single. So you are fucking with George Washington. But no, Diddy just filed another appeal. Okay. For some of us, this is the most disturbing one. Okay, let's hear. And I'm gonna make a distinction between the legal appeal and the argument in the appeal. And what I mean by that is I think. I don't believe in revoking bail from people unless it's exigent circumstances. The bail system is not meant to keep people locked up. And there's too many people in this country who are locked up because they don't have mic. Mark. There are too many people in this country who are in jail because they don't have enough money not to be in Jail, and that's a problem. Bail should not be a financial thing. So I agree with that. So I don't like revoking bail for those reasons. That said, Diddy have. Has asked to be released on a $50 million bond. That's his request. A $50 million. Did he do that before? Yeah, he did a few times. As I say, this is another one. And he's making some interesting arguments, though, and this is one of which I agree with, one of which I don't. Okay, okay. One of the argument is he's saying this is. I'm being treated unlike anybody else in history. They're talking about specifically him being convicted under the mask. And what his lawyer said was. And I think, again, I think they're right on this. On this point. He says, they said in the history of the statute, the man act has never been applied to facts similar to these to prosecute or incarcerate any other person. They're saying that the motion. In their motion, they said that for the last 75 years, the Man act, which was passed in 1910, has been limited to cases of interstate travel for financial gain through the business of prostitution. In other words, they're saying, you're using this statute for me in a way that's never been used. Used in history. Okay. That's a hell of a good argument, whether you agree with the Diddy shit or not, in terms of his guilt or innocence. Like, that's a great argument. I think Diddy is guilty. I thought he was guilty of the shit they found him not guilty for. But I still don't want laws being used against people in unfair ways. But the other piece is what I don't like. The lawyer, the judge said, we can't let you out because you have a history of violence, specifically the domestic violence. And the judge said that you have a history of violence. Violence. And so if we let you out, you may do harm to other people. Here's what Diddy's lawyer said. They acknowledged that he had been violent with Jane in June of 2024, but said that he had been, quote, provoked by her, quote, by her, quote, through her own acts of violence. So they're basically saying that, yeah, he beat Jane up, but it's because she hit me first. She put hands on him. Yeah, I don't think that's a good legal argument. I don't think it's a good. I don't think that's gonna persuade any judge. And I think it sends a disgusting message, particularly when we see what we saw in the video. So I don't get the logic of saying that. I think there's a better argument he could have made. Well, they kind of said that during the trial, too, Right? During the trial, they were like, yes, he's a piece of shit. We've seen him commit horrendous acts of violence. We're gonna tell you why. Right. But we're gonna tell you what preceded that. That's like, that doesn't matter. And what they also was. It wasn't like she came in with a knife. It was that she pushed his head into a counter once. And so when you see her and you see him and you say, okay, you pushed my head into a counter and you beat, kicked, and dragged her down the hall. It doesn't match. Even if I accepted the logic of the argument that some things are worthy of a response, that ain't one of them. Right. You know, So I don't think Diddy's gonna get out. I don't think the argument's gonna work. I think the argument's actually gonna hurt him. But I do hate that, again, we're using. Weaponizing bail against people. I don't like that. Well, I don't think he's getting out just because they denied it the first two times that they ran it through the board. Yep. And now that the trial is done again, we got egg on the face. We may feel embarrassed. We spent a lot of money. They fired the lead prosecutor. We only got him on. Yeah. They fired homegirl, which. That said a lot. We only have him on prostitution, which. What are they gonna give him? 5 years. He's been in for close to 1. He already enrolled in all of the good behavior programs that are available to people in his position. Yeah. So it's like, okay, you're denying him bail, but what we do know is he'll be home soon. Yeah. One way or the other. Yeah. One way. Yeah. When he tried this on July 2, the prosecutor, who's now fired, as Flip, said, the only thing exceptional about this defendant are his wealth, his violence, and his brazenness. So the state is making a very clear. Clear that we want him to sit in jail, and we think he's an pampered celebrity who doesn't think he should follow the rules. That's their argument. The judge found it persuasive then. I don't see what's different now. If I'm on a defense, instead of saying, hey, she hit me first, I'm saying, what is there for my client to be angry about? Yeah. We won. Right. I'm very pleased with the testimony from. From every Jane Doe. Right. From everybody that took the stand. Justice was served. I'm not gonna do anything to now jeopardize that after. I just. Nah, that. That would be my angle. Yeah. Yeah. Sit. The sentencing. What is the sentence again? October. October. Yeah, they're trying to move it up. Unless it's moved up. Yeah, they're trying to move it up, but we'll see. I. I think it's gonna stay in October. October's around the corner. It's October now. Right? Exactly. You're not wrong. Can y' all believe it's August? You know, I can't believe that next week is August, and that's with July having 31 days in. This. This still was fast. Super fast. Yep. Super. Yeah. We talking about courts and trials and stuff. Tory Lanez is going back to court. On August 18, oral arguments begin in his bid to overturn his sentence. Good luck with that. That. Or at least transfer him to where R. Kelly Studio is at. They got a SSL in R. Kelly Studio. They got the big. I mean, how do y' all think this will bold for Tori? I think it may help because he. He does have some politicians and stuff riding for him now, so. And they have people that are like, petitioning the governor, and these are actual lawmakers, so I think having them on your side kind of helps. None of those petitions be working. No. Freeze. No, no, I'm talking about. I'm not talking about the petitions. I'm talking about people that are actually speaking out. And there are a lot of. There are a lot more noises, a lot more noise about the Tory situation. I might. I think it might help a little bit. Yeah, I think it might help. I would not get out that day, but I think, you know, I think the political pool could help with clemency. It could help with. What's the other thing you get? Pardon. Thank you. Yeah. Clemency. Pardon. Something like that. And I think clemency could be warranted. I actually think he got too long of a sentence. Even though. Even. And again, I think he's guilty. I just don't think he should have gotten that long of a sentence. But the problem is for the. To get a sentence overturned, you gotta make a procedure. Like there's be issue. Like, you know, was there something procedural? Did he get an unfair trial? Is there new evidence? And those politicians can't really work with that unless something is shady happening behind the scenes. And I don't see Tory being powerful enough to make that part happen. But I do think if you get the right people behind you in the right moment, you could maybe overturn or get clemency. And the difference is a part is basically saying you're no longer considered guilty. Clemency is. You're still found guilty. But we can. Or commute. We can make the sentence shorter. So you still found guilty. But. But now we can make it two years. We can make it three years, in which case it'd be time served. Already got it. So those are the different options. The challenge is this was California. Yep. The governor is Gavin Newsom. Yep. Gavin Newsom wants to be president. The pathway to being a Democratic nominee for president is black women. I don't see this will make you public enemy number one, basically making an anti Megan Thee stallion. Yeah. Again. And I support Megan to think she's right. But I'm saying take. Take who's right and wrong. We just talk about pure politics and agenda. Yeah. Yeah. I don't see the governor of California pardoning Tory Lanez or commuting Tory Lanez's sentence at the expense of Megan thee stallion. It seems to be that counter to his own political. Interesting. Yeah, that's. And that's just my. That's a. That's a good angle. That's just my. You know, my hypothesis. But it seems. I think it makes sense. That means it's right. But. Well, I'm praying for Tory. Hopefully he sees some good news. I don't know if he's seen any in a while, so. We shall see. We'll keep up to date with that. I meant to ask you guys, off of the Malcolm Jamal conversation with R. Kelly, Did y' all see some of the heat that Tracee Ellis Ross was facing online about how she chose to memorialize Malcolm? No. I didn't know what you do. She put out a bunch of pictures from their show when they were husband and wife. Joint. Yeah. What's wrong with that? Okay. It was a lot. Yeah. It was a lot of pictures that were intimate. Dare I say it was just very close. From the show. From. From the show. But it was a whole slide. It was a whole slideshow of 5, 6, 7 pictures of y' all being husband and wife. Pull it up and look at it. I'd like your opinion on it. I saw it. I think she did a lot. And the backlash was warranted. She did a lot. Which made me want to ask y', all, is there a way that you shouldn't mourn publicly? Yes. Because I think that this Falls under that. Oh, this, this, these are press shots. Yes. I don't have a problem. This, I don't have a problem with this. A couple of these I would have cut out. Yeah. The, the, the one the show's called, Read between the Lines. The, the one that has like the show title and all that, I think is fine. The last slide, the magazine cover I think is fine. The penultimate slide, the, the second to last one I think just didn't need to happen. And I don't think she had bad intention. The one before that with the red dress, I think it's fine. That's fine. The first one, the quote on that one's a little wild. We have a great rapport. It's probably one of the best non physical love affairs that I've ever had. I'll say this. If someone came in from another country, just looked at this last year, they would assume they were together. And I think that's the concern people have. And I think that is just. It's a bad time when somebody is married with kids and died. One vacation with my daughter. My wife is over there, has to break the news to my other daughter that I'm no longer like, now ain't the time for your little TV show shots. I never really been a fan of the whole whole. I gotta post our pictures together. I hate that. Like, I hate that you can just put the picture up and say whatever you got to say. You don't. But it's like. It's like you attaching to it to make it like, hey, look, hey, look. I knew them more than you give a about that. It's not about you right now. And I love Tracy Ellis Ross. I absolutely love Tracy Ellis Ross. But she could have posted all the pictures of Malcolm Jamal Warner without her in. Just posted a hedge shot. Pause. Like just, just a. A picture of him. Like, you don't have to do the. Me and him. How do you even hear the story that happened? Right? Because the next day after we recorded the news came out about his daughter swimming with him and now they saved her. Like, the story got worse the more we heard. How do you hear this and be like. And hit send on. Yeah. All of these pictures of y'. All. I just don't see it. I think if you ever. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't either. But I think if you have a platonic. And maybe her publicity team, I don't know who did it. But I would say if you have a platonic relationship with somebody, you're not Thinking that way. Like, I don't think she had ill intent, but I think it was just a bad choice. I think if you have a platonic relationship with somebody, you should be thinking that way. I also do think, by the way, that it depends on her relationship with him and her. His husband, his family. Yeah. Because if they have a super great relationship and maybe have joked about some of these pictures and the roles they play on tv, what the Internet thinks. Nah, nah. No way. If, God forbid, if y' all have such a great. If you. And I'm using your premise, if you had the great relationship, then that's more reason for you to not post this whole slideshow. Let me ask you. It ain't really about what? The Internet thing. I'm not getting this from the Internet. Sometimes the Internet be right on this one. I think they kind of hit, like. I think there's a sector of the Internet where it's like the mamas and the aunties that are like, hey, this is just in bad taste. So if, God forbid, Bill Cosby dies, he's gonna die. We're all gonna die, right, Mark? But let's say Bill Cosby dies. What? I'm just saying we're all gonna die, right? Fine. Then you slide up in the Temple hall of Fame rankings. Would it be weird to see the classic Cosby show photos of, like, you know, Rudy running in the room and they're in bed together? Phylicia Rashad and Will Cosmic. I'm just trying to think of other TV husbands and wives. It would be 100% weird if Phylicia Rashad did the same exact thing. And she wouldn't. I'm just trying to think about it. I don't even think she would do it. She wouldn't. I'm trying to think about What? I was just trying to think about what other famous TV spouses where they post pictures of them as a couple. Like, if I saw George and Weezy after Sherman Hemsley died, how would I feel? You know? I don't know. Or maybe it's because they're more. Never seen them be romantic. On the joke for his reason. For that. I was going to say the censorship. That's all I was going to say. Sure. Hey, I'm not telling nobody how to mourn. Rest in peace, Malcolm. Jamal. Warning. My heart goes out to the people. What's wrong? No, no. Flip. Nope. You didn't know that. Come on, stop. Are you. Oh, he just found out something in real time. Oh, I love these moments. George Jefferson was what George Jefferson was a dry cleaner in Queens. Jefferson Cleaners, five locations. You didn't know that George Jefferson was a dry cleaner? No, he said something else. He said. I'm telling you, he was. Elijah didn't know this. He was definitely a dry cleaner. He cleaned up the shit that was drying. Okay. A lot of people didn't know. It wasn't, you know, common knowledge that, you know, he had those different stores, but he was definitely out there. Queensland in there. Yeah. I will say this. Folding shirt. Village Voice definitely fold. Sherman Hemsley and the other. What? Hell, yeah. How about say so? All right. Since we got here, I will say this. The Village Voice did a very important piece on Sherman Hemsley when he passed away. Sherman Hemsley was never out. So I don't want to out him, but I will say that he wasn't now. No, he was not. Come on, Mark. I'm telling you. How did niggas know exactly? Because they got eyes and ears and. But I'm saying he never publicly said that he was gay, but after he died, many of his paramores and. And others have said that he was Paramores. I'm trying issues in here. I'm trying to split the difference. So we doing some. So we doing some Patti LaBelle right now. That's why I mentioned the Village Voice. And other people have already written stories about sexuality. That's why. Mention that I don't know him to be gay. So let me take that back. Other. Other men did. It's up when you take something back that you didn't say. Like. I never said that. But Sherman Hemsley was. Was known to be. Yeah, Sherman Hemsley was known to be queer. Y. But he was. He had a wife as well, right? Did he? I don't believe so, no. No, he never had kids. He never had kids, never had a wife, which is totally common for men. Yeah, understood. Baldwin didn't either. Oh, there was them pictures. There was the picture. Pictures, pictures. Your hard drive is different than mine. Sherman Hemsley don't have no, like, Oscar De La Hoya is pics out there. Not that I know of. But I never did. I take it back. I'm not educated in this. Just. Just watch him. Just watch the show. Go watch the Jefferson's. Again with that eye. All them dance scenes. The. The. The Soul Train scene. When he. When he made his. When he made that album. I was just trying to kick Tracy Ellis. I know. I don't know how we got to George. I don't know how we got it here, but. Yeah, but yes, Sherman Hemsley was. Yeah, well, I support him anyway. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If one of y' all pass, God forbid, you don't think it would be in bad taste. And I'm off to the Tracy Ellis. I'm just a new scenario for your ex to start posting or one of your. Some of your old work to start posting a bunch of pictures that they have in their phone that have never been published of y' all all just looking a little romantic. Yes, of course they're gonna do it. They're gonna. You know what they do when they don't got the pictures? They go post conversations. Yeah. So I think about that a lot. It's weird, but I have a thing I think about, like, if my exes die, how the ones who are moderately public, like, how would I commemorate them? Right. And mourn them? Like, do you even mention if you. That you were with them? If it's your ex. Ex. Do you mention, like, hey, this is my ex. You know. You know, you loved you. We were this. Now we're. You know, Like, I don't think you have to. You don't have. You don't have to. Your rest in peace. Just rest in peace or nothing to me, whatever. Like, that's a way. I think even doing that is taking their moment and making it about you. I. I think you're right. Like, there's no reason you could say everything. You could put up a beautiful rest in peace paragraph or what? Whatever. You still don't have to mention the past relationship between. You don't have to do that. Or a photo. And I moved away from. I used to be part of the people. Sometimes when somebody died, I'd post a photo of me with them, depending on who they were. Now I don't even like Michael Jim Warner and other people. I didn't even want to do that because I'm at that point now where it feels like people are doing it as a status thing. That's literally what it is. That's why people are doing it. Yeah. Yeah. The immediate family are the only one. I feel. Feel comfortable posting pictures of him. Media family could do whatever they want. Yeah. I'm shocked you. Not you, but I'm shocked y' all out there even got so many pictures with people. Like, for real is moving around. Okay. Maybe one time before somebody died, I was like, you know what? Let me hit this little pic that was like, from 07. I couldn't find this. Like, y' all have access to these pictures. Dude, you are crazy. Yeah. Oh, man. Tracy, I'll do what you want, man. You royalty. We love you. That's true. You royalty worthy. Do whatever you want. Y' all see the JLO and Mariah beef still out there? No. Is that a what. What is. They drop. They're dropping music on the same day. Oh, oh. And it, it brings up. I mean, I guess you have to be in the know about JLO and Mariah for it to matter. If you're from the 19s. Yeah, 19s. If you're from the 19s, them dropping music on the same day is a thing. So now on Tick Tock, all the kids are a little. Learning their history. Mariah Shins see a Kehlani. From the snippet I heard, I didn't hear the whole record. It did sound good. Yeah, it sounded good. Shin C is fire. Kehlani is fire. Her last song didn't get enough credit folded. That song is absolutely her show. Kalani's rebrand. Everything she doing is fire. But Mariah gonna go get with who she need to get with. JLo, on the other hand, some conversations need to be had about her. JLO did an interesting move to me after she moved out of the hip hop space and she. When she started making global music, music like. I don't know how people feel about JLO here, but when you go to Latin America or you go even up in the Middle east, like JLO be everywhere. You hear that music everywhere. It's like, like when I first heard like JLo versus Mariah on in terms of a release date, I was like, that's crazy. But JLO in the global market might win that battle. In terms of sales, I don't know. I can see that's a hot take. I can see that. I can't see it right. On the global markets. I'm talking about global old. What did Mariah's last project do? Mariah sells Christmas time now. True. That counts. I'm just saying. But even before Christmas time, she has lot of records. She might be one of the top five top selling artists of all time from all the records. But right now, JLO dropping now I get. I get what Mark is saying. Yeah. On an international market and right now, not. I mean, 10 years ago. No, but y' all gonna make me go find whatever JLO said single is and play it against Mariah. It ain't about. We wouldn't be the market for it though. That's kind of the point. Right? You play that record here and Mariah's record probably a hundred times better. But we. Not the market. That's. We're talking global market. They don't give a. About that record. Right. Her last album was in 2018. It's. This is Mariah. Only sold 51,000, which is. I'm shocked. Yeah. Y. Yeah, but. But let's put numbers in perspective. There are some older acts that are dropping, canceling tour, struggling to sell 10,000 units. So that 50, though it may sound low, like, let's look up JLo. Mariah has sold over 220 million records, while JLo has sold around 80 million records. Yeah. I don't even think they belong in the same conversation. Anybody that puts them in the same conversation is doing some. I think it's delusional to put him in the same Con's last album, which is. This is 20, 24. 18,000. Yeah. Stop it. It debuted at number one. Don't. I don't care. Don't Worldwide me to death. She sold 18. Mariah about. It did 50. It's not the same world today. And Mariah is. Listen, listen. Maybe I feel different if you play a song that speaks to what you're saying from JLo, but the fact that we ain't heard it, y' all ain't heard it, we don't know it. And the funny thing is, I'm. I'm reading further. That last JLO album, which goes against what me and Mark was sitting here saying, it says, this is me now, saw virtually no traditional album sales outside North America. Oh, that's interesting. Well, most of it, with most of its global consumption being streaming. Was that a global music album, though? That's what I'm saying. I didn't. I don't honestly remember the last album. I don't. I don't know again. And I'm not. Because JLO started doing this interesting thing where she made some albums for, like, domestic albums, US Music, and then she made some international, and then she did a Spanish language music. Yeah. Which is different. That's where she was really cooking people. And then she learned Spanish. Yeah, she really did. That was the crazy part. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's some interesting Spanish. But, yeah, but she got busy with the Spanish by the end. Shout out to whoever toward JLo. Spanish. We love you, JLo. I do. It's lovely. It's. Oh, yeah, it definitely does. It ain't hard to get it. Never mind. Yo, can I ask y' all something? I want to know if something is racist, because my answer is always yes. So I want to get a different gauge there is a ad campaign that came out for American Eagle. Oh, yes. Yes. Whatever you about to say is racist, Joe. Can you. Can you. Can you please play it? Yes, I can play it. I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans. And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn or that they make your butt look amazing. Why would I need to do that? But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not going to stop you. But just so we're clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans. Sydney Sweeney. Hasbro jeans. You see what I did there, right? Jeans are passed down from parents to offspring. Sydney Sweeney ain't got no ass. Like, hair color. She got a nice. She got that ass. The white dudes, like, my jeans are blue. Cindy Sweeney has for jeans. What's racist about this? Okay, she had a maga moment a couple years ago, so, I mean, that's possible, but I didn't hear the racism in this. I don't know anything about who this person is. So I don't know. Sydney Sweeney, she's an actress. She was in Euphoria and has had a bunch of other roles. She wasn't Euphoria. White Lotus tracks. More racist. But so obviously, people are saying that this promotes eugenics or the idea of superior genes. White people, you know, there's the Hitler, Hitler, Aryan, you know, philosophy that Aryans were superior, that blonde hair, blue eyes were superior traits. She's literally sitting there with blonde hair, blue eyes, and mentions her eyes, her body. And she's saying, I have great genes. And she's talking about genes being passed down and mentioning the eyes. So she's. While selling jeans. While selling jeans, and she's playing on the jeans. You know what I mean? What was the dude from the Marvels that stretched? That's one of them. Fantastic. That's a Mr. Fantastic. Here's the issue for me. I got sent this with the question, is this racist? So I was already watching it with the. With that question in my mind. So. So my question is always to people. Like, if I just show you. I showed it to y'. All. Some of y' all on during the break. Like, do you have any reaction to this without saying why I thought that. So, like, Joe, when you saw it, did you. Did you have a thought on it immediately? Yeah. And what was your thought? She ain't got no ass. Okay. Joe had two thoughts. She got a callboard. She didn't have no ass, But That. That's that ass that the white dudes be like, it look like a nice Utah ass. Idaho. Idaho. Yeah. My second thought, I don't know who this lady is. Third, without her doing this ad, I feel away about American eagle, arrow, pastel. Who's the other one? Urban Outfitters. There's another one. There's another one. Damn, what's that? And I like girls that way. Have a coffee. Anyway, I saw a doctor that came before with the dude that came up with some of these stories and how he was on racist bullshit. Also, if you know enough about marketing, you know that there are these dog whistles in marketing to. Whereas, yeah, this could take on the personality of maybe somebody behind the scenes that you don't know. So it all sounds racist to me. I think the most generous read I could give it is they definitely were playing with the jeans versus the jeans double entendre. And they're saying she has superior genes because she's attractive and because she has this stuff. Were they trying to pass on Nazism? Maybe not. Right? I think that might be the truth. If she would have said blonde hair, blue eyes, I would be totally on board. But they showed her with the blonde hair and mentioned her blonde. She has blonde hair. I mean. And they picked her for the ad. See what I'm saying? Like. Like, if you're gonna. If. If someone were doing that, they would want us to be having this conversation. They wanna give plausible deniability. If you say blind and her blue, it's too, too obvious. It's over the top. So you gotta do one. If it's true. If it's not true, then this was just a really irresponsible ad. And, you know, because we're having this conversation, if I'm selling jeans, I don't want people asking if it's Nazi or not. Nobody believes that America has jeans. Nobody believes that. No. Yes, you do. We helping them out right now. I always go back to H and M, coolest monkey in the jungle shirt. And everybody said, how could y' all put that out? We went crazy talking about. About that. Yeah. Outrage marketing works on us. That's a really good point. I don't think black people buy American. No, no, but it makes white. It makes us talk about it and it makes. We react and we get on cameras and. And. And do all of this and we boycotting and they. They're racist, racist, racist, racist. We bring attention to it where other people might even missed it. And then the Fox News viewers who hate our outrage buy two of Those shirts. That's possible. And so I. I could see the argument for. Again, I don't. On one hand, I. I like the fact that we are more conscious of the dog whistles. On the other hand, I'm kind of tired of people trying to find the race angle and everything. Race angle and everything. You know what I'm saying? So I'm in the middle. As you get older, you see things. And when Joe said that, yo, I'm starting to see things, I went and I said, oh, shit, you brought it to my attention. It's like the shit where they have the new content thing that they have all the dancing people in the video when they say, your eyes may play tricks on. On you, like, let's test your vision. So when I say that, to say, when he brought it up and I start to pay attention now, I start to see a couple of things. But I'm also tired of people looking for racism in every little thing. It's like, okay, so is everything going to be racist? Are we really that much divided? We came far. Are we really that much divided in the world? You know what I mean? Then on top of that, if you feel that way, then petitions and all that stuff we're signing and trying to speak to the local government may not work because we outnumbered tremendously anyway. So then, now, what's the solution? Where are we when it comes to that? If you understand what I'm saying, Mark, for me, it's about, like, what's the impact of this particular thing? Got it. I have another question once you're done with your talk. So for me, it's like, how do we at least have the consciousness that if they're gonna put these ads up, we have the critical media literacy that's strong enough that when it comes up, we can talk to our children about cause for me, it's. I'm not outraged. It's just, I don't want another group of, for example, black girls to grow up looking at that image, or black boys thinking less than. Thinking that they're less than. Or thinking that superior genes means looking like her. Even if that, let's say, it's not the intent of the creators. I have no idea what's in their brain. Right? But that's still a potential consequence. And so for me, that's the question. So I'm less worried about writing petitions, Although I see why people do that, Mark, is tricky because I feel like. I feel like sometimes you do the work for these people. Like, and I told you that with the fucking CNN shit. And this is one of those examples again, like this. This is the most. I will talk about American Eagle and for the next three years. Right. Not just you, but a lot of the people there who are out there. This audience ain't ever gonna have a 20 minute talk about American Eagle date. I agree. I agree with what they doing. I agree with you about what they're doing, but they also not doing it for us. Right. They doing it to tell the people that know what they're doing that this is how we own it. See, I disagree there. I think they are doing it to get free advertising from us. Yeah, I hear that. I really think that's what a lot of. I think somebody sits behind there and say, yo, we play it just this way and we know we can piss them off. It'll go. I also wonder, what's the last American. What's this? American Eagle. American Eagle. What's the last American Eagle ad in the of us even seen, let alone talked about? Haven't seen one in years. I haven't seen. So you think they actually knew what they were doing? Yes, I thought I. I thought it was one of those we don't got no black people in the room. This is a blind spot kind of moment. No, no, I think. I think had a question. I wonder if there's going to be any other ads. I'm trying to look on their IG to see if they have any non white folks. It looks like they have some people of some level of ethnicity on their page. But I wonder if they will play into the same thing like, oh, I have good jeans, I have curly hair or good jeans, I have brown eyes. That would be great. And that'd be a great way to cover them. Right now. It would be. And I were operating in good faith and we just up then I'd be on the phone right now to the curliest, darkest models in the world. If they do that, I'll come in here and give every apology to American Eagle. I didn't know that. I wasn't familiar with your game. I would right away go get Alondra. That's what. Yeah. Apologize. I be like, don't fix their business for them for free them. Don't tell them who to go get. Right. But thank you for that. Yeah, we do that. A lot of people, we correct a lot of things up here. Yeah. I don't know. I think, I think you're the only one that really. I catch on to it a lot. I see the after effects. But do you. You ever you can't call me a and then me tell you which tone to use. Yeah, like to make it more palatable. Like. No, man, no. I'm sorry. I'm doing it again. It must feel good to be. Have a strong voice. And I'm. I mean that. A lot of things that you've said up here before. And that's why sometimes when we talk, we were like, man, this. I have to have an inside. An insider on some of these situations. And we see people change things. I know y' all don't like the word. I use the phrase in real time, you know, after we talk about it. Listen, like white ass, man. That too. Like white ass. I'm waiting for his album. He threw up. Up the. Threw up the half court shot to yes, Jules. Y. See, I do not see that. See, you still have response side J. Elect. It's a few of y'. All. If y' all really want to be down with the mission, you got to give up that milk. You can't see what side did, stupid. Hey. Hey. Sorry. Hey, my cousin Walter wouldn't do it. No, cousin Walter wouldn't do it. Y' all know how cousin Walter. Cousin waltz ain't with none of that at all. Somebody tweeted, women don't like the good guys and the guys that open a car door in Shippery or whatever. And then, yes, Jewel said, if I met one of those guys, I would love to have a chance with him. With him to be at my door. I give him the chance every day. Here goes. Side go retweet it. Talk about you've been around him already a lot. Nigga. What? Every time I get fly with this nigga. And then she said, I didn't see nothing after that. She was like, yes, but we were working back then. Something like that. Oh, man, I'm done. We were just working back then. Go ahead and praise white ass, man. White ass is nice. It is nice white ass, just not all of it. What else is important? What else is important? Let's see. Clarissa Shields. I went to go see Fantastic Clarissa Shields. Yeah, you go first. Well, pap is my brother, and I love him. I do, too. Shout out to Pat. I'm rolling with the people that say this look like it's her first boyfriend. I'm. I'm sorry. I'm rolling that with the papoose tattoo right underneath the titty where it ain't really. And then you got the titty fighting underneath. Do you pull the titty so we could see the fat? That is Nuts dog. But I love apples, so. And I support black love. I guess shout out to her on her fight. Her actual fight. She whooped ass. She whooped ass. Didn't get the knockout. Which I was, you know, I wanted to see. But. But she, she got busy. Yeah. Shorty was running. For sure. She got busy. Yeah. Good fight. That girlfriend makes it tough to co parent, I'll tell you that. But that's what I can say. Let me get it off. Done for a minute. If it was me and my new girl got the Joe button tattoo under the titty. It was like, yeah, planning a baby. Then right after that we have another baby. Then another baby. My co parenting situation. This is the best fighter in the world would. Yeah, it would be tough. It would be tough. It would be tough. Shout out to pet booze. That's. That's my. In the public eye, it kind of look like you winning the breakup too. Yeah. It make it make it tough. And then we go into the fight and my baby moms is there right on the other side. Side of the. Yeah. Stand it up too. Like I'm not touching this topic. Yeah, please. I'm out of here. Thank you. Hey. And see. Hey, hold up. You got it. All right, who's ready to hear a Fantastic Four review? I am. I am. I did. I did get around because we talked about last pod. I did get around to go see Fantastic Four and it was an apology. Apology. Yes. You said I wasn't rushing to go see it, which I didn't do. I don't expect it to be good. Good. I said Marvel's peaked, which I still believe they have. It wasn't terrible. Did you like the movie? I did like the movie. I did like. I'm not going to say like, oh my God, it's amazing. Rush out to go. I like the movie. It been out a week. How you didn't rush to see it? Because I watched the bootleg stream. I didn't rush to go see it. No. You didn't go to the movie theater? No. And you waited like four days. Yeah. Yeah. His first day. My I go on. You waited for a day Thursday to go watch this in the theater the day before it even drops on the normal. Got it. So for me, this is not rushing. That's all. Got it. But not a movie was surprisingly good. I I, I thought I was kind of over Marvel. This does set me up to look forward to Doomsday Avengers, which is next December. And Galactic's gonna kill all you. They they I, I. Hey, Hey, I ain't see. I got nine tickets to go see it tonight. But I saw a picture of Galactus where Mr. Reed spun around like stretching that. Like stretches like this? Yeah, yeah, exactly like. What the cheese Po. String cheese. Yo. He. I'm going to see this. I'm already Galactus. I can't wait till the next part. Why would Mr. Reed snap the Galactus like that? What is this? Little trick you can do. Stretch you out. I'm gonna see it too, then. Good. L. But it was all right, though. I'm not. Again. I'm not. I'm not mad at it. That's all I got. I don't want to spoil anything, but it. It does set up for what's next. So. You've been saying that for some years. What? Oh, this is. This is. Okay. It sets up for what's next. Well, yeah. And then they had to abandon the whole multiverse. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because it's the majors, right? They were setting up and then they just went. They never finished it. Whoopsie. White ass again. White ass. White ass. White ass. I wanted to ask about Jonathan Majors last time. I think I forgot the topic. And he was like, oh, we. We closed out on the topic. I still didn't see magazine dreams. Amazing. I didn't see it. Do you think that. Oh, I think it was about who had an issue with a woman. White lady. Recently? Everybody. Most people. Yeah. Come on, man. Come on. Somebody recently had an issue. We were talking about it. I need more than that. If we playing. Heads up. I need more. Someone had an issue with the white. Yeah, come on. Come on. At a time right now. It is. It is. Somebody had an issue. All right, skip it. Skip it. Somebody. No, don't keep going. Who you talking about? Oh, oh, okay, okay. Shannon Sharp. How Shannon. How the situation with Shannon Sharp played out. Right, right. I wanted to ask last time, do you think that there's any hopes for Jonathan Majors to overcome that? Meaning that. Mark. Cause you make a face. I'm about to get at you. Not about your content. I just. My brain went somewhere else. Can you help me a little bit because Mel's not here? Meaning that Shannon Sharp and the young lady came up to an agreement where they didn't acknowledge. They acknowledged it was consensual. They announced the relationship was consensual. Yeah, the relationship was consensual. That's what I mean. And then we said that that was opening the door back for him to work at espn. Potentially. Yeah, I think so. So do you think that with the situation with Jonathan Majors, do you think that. Oh, I think he's back in the game. Oh, you think he's back in the game? I think, I think they both were affected the same way. Like with Shannon Sharp before Shorty's allegations and everything, you were possibly looking at $100 million deal. Right? He was right. Right. I don't think you're looking at 100 million dollar deal today. Right. So even if you get back to espn, it's not at the level that you were about to get before. I think the same thing applies with, with Jonathan Majors where you were about to go with Disney. And you know, as far as that goes, it's not the same. Now you might get you back, but now it's gonna be a little different. Disney said that the villains now was stronger than Kangaroo. Some stupid somebody say. Yeah, they, they, they, they botched a lot of that. Yeah. I'm interested in seeing what happens next. Next I want to see back some good news out there for you music fans, R and B fans in particular. The 25th anniversary of Mama's Gun is this fall. Erykah Badu, we get. No, isn't that crazy? 25th anniversary, that's sick. And she, she just announced a new tour. Awesome. So she's gonna, she's tour with Al, isn't she? Yeah. So, so this is like that tour is kind of ending and now she's launching a new Mama's Gun tour where I think she's just performing that album. Great. So that is great news. And she's coming to our area. She's gonna be in Brooklyn and get your tickets now. I bought mine yesterday and it was like limited seats left even a second. I thought you would have known Erica. Nah. You know, there's one person I've never met, we like one degree of separation in a million ways, but never, never met her. But I got, I got, I bought seats and. But I'm just saying it's limited seats. But she's traveling all around the country from now through December, so it's dope. And again, like you, I'm like 25th anniversary is crazy. I'm seeing that. Yeah, it's worth definitely going to see that. It's in, it's in Brooklyn in King's Theater. King's Theater. Oh, I'm not going to see that. That's why I added that. I tried to tell you I'm not going to see that. I thought it was pretty interesting. Kings Theater is nice. I will catch the Erykah Badu show at another stop. She'll be in Atlantic City. If you want to go down there, you'll pop be out there anyway. I'll do that before I do. They both trash options. I was just getting ready to say, bro, you ain't really. I'll do Atlantic City though. At least you can make a drive out of it. That's what I'm saying. It's at least an adventure. Yeah. Wait, hold up.
